IATA said Asia/Pacific airlines will receive 35% of the new aircraft, mainly in China and India. European carriers will take delivery of 26% and North American airlines 25%. Jul 31, 2007
AeroSvit Ukrainian Airlines, Boeing
AeroSvit Ukrainian Airlines is ordering up to 14 Boeing 737-800 airplanes. The Kiev-based carrier signed an order for seven 737s valued at $523 million at list prices, and secured purchase rights for another seven. AeroSvit will equip the 737-800s with fuel-saving Blended Winglets. This order marks AeroSvit's first direct purchase from Boeing since the carrier was founded in 1994. All-Boeing operator AeroSvit will gradually replace its fleet of 13 737 Classic airplanes with the Next-Generation 737s. AeroSvit operates three Boeing 767s on its long-haul services to destinations including Delhi, Bangkok, Shanghai, Beijing, Toronto and New York. Aug 3, 2007
Air France KLM , Bombardier, Embraer
Air France KLM is to order around forty regional jets 'in the near future', representing an investment of over 1 bln usd, French daily Les Echos reported without indicating its sources. The paper claimed that airline has asked Brazil's Embraer and Canada's Bombardier to submit offers for 70-100 seater aircraft, and intends to place 'at least twenty firm orders with the same amount of purchase options.' The order could be announced before the end of the month, and deliveries could start as of 2008, Les Echos said. Aug 2, 2007
Airbus A380 received EASA and US FAA approval to operate on runways with a width of 45 m. or more, which is the standard at most airports around the world, Airbus said. The aircraft already has visited 45 airports and the manufacturer claimed that more than 70 will be ready for the A380 by 2011. Aug 2, 2007
Airbus, Boeing
Sue Payton, head of U.S. Air Force acquisitions, delivered bad news for Airbus this weekend, when she said the Air Force will not split its initial $40 billion order of 80 refueling tankers in a contract to be issued later this year. Aug 5, 2007
Atran. Antonov
An-12 freighter belonging to cargo carrier Atran crashed shortly after takeoff from Moscow Domodedovo early Sunday, killing all seven crew onboard. Flight 9655 was on its way to Omsk with nine tons of cargo but crashed and burned in a forest about 4 km. from the end of Runway 32C. The Ivchenko AI-20M-6-powered turboprop first flew in 1964, according to the Flight Safety Foundation's Aviation Safety Network. It was Atran's first hull loss accident. Itar Tass news agency reported that weather conditions were "normal" at DME and that, according to Atran, the aircraft "underwent a serious technical examination in May." All three flight data recorders reportedly have been recovered. Founded in 1993, Atran is 25% owned by the Russian government and operates six An-12s, six IL-76Ts and three An-26s, Itar Tass reported. Jul 31, 2007
British Airways, Swiss International
British Airways is continuing to investigate an incident in which two of its passenger jets collided on the ground. No-one was hurt when a Washington DC-bound Boeing 777 reversed into the path of a Swiss International Airbus A321 which had just arrived at Heathrow Airport from Zurich. But the damage to the aircraft could run to as much as UK[pounds sterling]1 / USD2 million and there has been speculation that cost-cutting by BA led to the accident. It is thought that a wing of the Washington-bound aircraft, which was moving off its stand at Heathrow's Terminal 4 at the weekend, clipped the tail fin of the A321, which had 100 passengers aboard. The A321 is believed to have been shunted about 10ft. Jul 31, 2007
MNG Technic
MNG Technic signed agreements with Ukraine operator UM Air for a C check on a DC-9 and with British operator Flightline for an MD-83 C check. Jul 31, 2007
Montenegro Airlines, Embraer
Montenegro Airlines signed an agreement to lease two Embraer E-195s from GECAS. Deliveries are scheduled for May 2008 and May 2009. Aircraft will be configured with 116 seats in two classes--the first business class-equipped E-195s in Europe--and used on routes to Russia, the UK and Scandinavia, Embraer said. Aug 3, 2007
Moscow Domodedovo Airport, Antonov
Seven Die In Russian Cargo Plane Crash. All seven crew members died when an An-12 Russian cargo plane crashed soon after takeoff from Moscow's Domodedovo Airport early on Sunday, Itar-Tass news agency reported. It said the four-engine turboprop plane, bound for the Siberian city of Omsk, came down on open ground 4 km (2.5 miles) from the airport. The cause of the crash was not immediately known. Tass said the plane, which belonged to cargo carrier Atran, was built in 1964 but had been fully serviced in May. Crashes of elderly planes are not unusual in Russia, which has made upgrading its passenger and cargo fleet a political priority. Jul 30, 2007
PowerJet, Sukhoi, Snecma
PowerJet, the 50/50 joint venture between Snecma and NPO Saturn developing the engine for the Sukhoi Superjet, named Jean-Paul Ebanga chairman and CEO. He replaces Michel Dechelotte, who is moving to another position within Safran Group. Jul 30, 2007

Youth movement reigniting San Diego Dixieland Jazz Festival
Thanks in part to 20-something musicians, and swing dancers, the 33-year-old event's audience is skewing younger
The 33rd annual San Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival
When: Wednesday through Sunday (times vary each day)
Where: Town & Country Convention Center, 500 Hotel Circle N., Mission Valley
Tickets: $15 Wednesday; $25 Thursday; $40 Friday and Saturday; $20 Sunday; multiday passes range in price from $85 to $95 each
Phone: (619) 291-7131, ext. 3810
Online: dixielandjazzfestival.org
There's a very sound reason that saxophonist/clarinetist Chloe Feoranzo and pianist Stephanie Trickdidn't perform at the first edition of the San Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival: Neither of them was alive when this annual music marathon debuted here 33 years ago as a celebration of a musical style whose roots date back to the early 20th century, if not before.
But Feoranzo, 20, and Trick, 26, are now veterans of the festival, with Trick returning for her second year and Feoranzo — improbably, given her young age — for her seventh. They are both audience favorites who performed together last year and are likely to do so again here this week. Both impress equally with their instrumental skills and their infectious enthusiasm for music that, in some instances, predates their births by 70 or more years.
"I was 14 the first time I played at the festival, and I loved it," said Feoranzo, a former student at the San Diego School of Creative and Performing Arts. She has one solo album to her credit and is now in her junior year as a music performance major at Webster University in St. Louis.
"Seeing the music performed live at the festival when I was 13 is what brought me into playing old (styles of) jazz," Feoranzo continued. "There's something about the music that is very happy, that grabs you and makes you want to dance. You can hop from venue to venue at the festival and pick a dance partner in each one. Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same for me without the festival."
Trick, who coincidentally is a St. Louis native and has six (soon to be seven) albums to her credit, is similarly effusive.
Like Feoranzo, she is scheduled to perform multiple times at the festival, be it solo, in a duo or sitting in and jamming with various bands. On Friday night, she and singer Lorraine Feather (the daughter of legendary jazz critic and sometime composer Leonard Feather) will perform music from the debut album of their duo, Nouveau Stride.
"The thing that drew me to this music is that it's happy and really high-energy," Trick said, speaking from a recent concert tour stop in San Francisco.
"Even if you don't know anything about jazz, or music in general, there's something really intrinsic that draws you into this. If I could like this music when I was 20, I don't see why other people who are 20 won't like it. The rhythms are really infectious and everything is improvised, so there's a lot of spontaneity. There's a lot here that younger people can latch on to."
At its peak in the 1980s and 1990s, the San Diego Thanksgiving Dixieland Jazz Festival drew more than 10,000 people annually, the majority in their 50s or older. That attendance figure has held steady around 6,000 in recent years.

Selena Gomez had the ''most incredible'' 20th birthday over the weekend.
The singer-and-actress' birthday on Sunday (22.07.12) saw her scoop a trophy at the Teen Choice Awards before being spoiled by boyfriend Justin Bieber with dinner at Il Cielo restaurant in Beverly Hills.
She later posted a picture of her with a rose-topped cake on Facebook, with a message saying: ''Beyond blessed, so much love. Thank you for the most incredible birthday yet! I'm truly, truly grateful. I love my family, friends and all of you.''
The singer was then joined by a male friend yesterday (23.07.12) for a Japanese lunch at Yamato restaurant in Encino, California.
Selena was also Charmed by a video made for her by fans from the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which she also posted on her Facebook.

At the Teen Choice Awards on Sunday, the pop star and her band, Selena Gomez and the Scene, scooped the Choice Music Group award. She was also given birthday cupcakes topped with sparklers, which she passed out to fans as the audience started singing 'Happy Birthday' to her.

FEW PLACES IN TEXAS ARE more humble than Daingerfield, a town of 2,655 residents hidden away in the rolling hills of Northeast Texas. Many of the downtown storefronts are abandoned. The parking lot at the bank is usually empty, and the movie theater tries to stir up business with 99-cent admission. Each day, a couple of Kansas City Southern trains pass through the middle of town. They never stop.
Just on the other side of the railroad tracks, however, is Daingerfield's lone symbol of affluence—a two-story, 120-year-old building that cost at least $1 million to renovate. Every brick on the building has been cured in an open-pit fire for historical authenticity. A white gazebo stands on one side of the building, and a flowing fountain and garden are on the other. Inside the lobby are Oriental rugs, elegant swooped-back chairs, and lighted glass cabinets holding Native American pottery, and a staircase right out of Gone With the Wind leads to an office on the second floor. There, a kindly looking 56-year-old man, five feet eight inches tall, sits behind a desk the size of a billiard table. The man's name is Harold Nix, and he is one of the richest and most feared plaintiff's attorneys in Texas. "I suppose," he says in a drawl as soft as cotton, "you want to know why everyone is cussin' me."
In 1987, when he was barely known outside this corner of the state, Nix began suing companies from around the country that had shipped chemicals and other products to Lone Star Steel, a large steel mill located a few miles from Daingerfield. He argued that these products were toxic and that the companies—from Fortune 500 giants such as Exxon to a tiny machine shop near Daingerfield—had caused Lone Star employees to come down with a host of illnesses and life-threatening diseases. By 1988 he represented more than three thousand workers and ex-workers—some of whom had worked at the plant for decades, others for just a few weeks—and by 1990 he had named 538 companies as defendants in the lawsuit.
If ever there was a case that seemed destined for a chapter in a law school textbook about frivolous lawsuits, Sam Fowler, Jr., et al. v. Union Carbide Corp., et al. was it. Although some Lone Star employees were obviously sick, it soon became clear that Nix didn't yet have a shred of evidence directly linking any of their diseases to any products that had been shipped into that plant. Nor had Nix found a single medical expert willing to verify his theory that the various chemicals shipped to Lone Star had combined to create what he described in court filings as "chemical AIDS," a condition that "reduced and in many cases destroyed the body's ability to attack and fight off sickness, disease and death."
But Fowler began to take on an eerie life of its own. Scores of expensive defense attorneys, a few charging their corporate clients more than $400 an hour, headed to Daingerfield to do battle with Nix. Depositions were taken, interrogatories filed, motions for summary judgment requested. So many lawyers arrived for one hearing that the judge had to set up his courtroom in the Daingerfield High School auditorium. The pretrial legal papers piled so high that they overflowed the filing cabinets at the district clerk's office in Morris County (where Daingerfield is located) and were stacked in an unused cell at the county jail.
Today, nearly a decade after the lawsuit began, Fowler has become the largest mass products-liability lawsuit in the United States, a maddening morass of litigation that has ensnared hundreds of lawyers and generated untold millions of dollars in legal fees. Although the case has produced more than three million pages of documents, not a single trial has been scheduled for any of the three-thousand-plus plaintiffs, and no one is able to say when—or whether—a trial will ever be scheduled. The attorneys periodically gather for hearings to rail away at one another, each side accusing the other of suppressing evidence and delaying the case. "It's a nightmare," said Judge B. D. Moye, the embattled state district court judge who presided over the case from its inception until his retirement last year. "That's what it is—a procedural nightmare."
In the nineteenth century, Charles Dickens' epic novel Bleak House told the story of the endless lawsuit known as Jarndyce and Jarndyce—a venomous case that was so confusing even the participants never knew what it was about or how they could get it resolved. Jarndyce and Jarndyce was fiction: Dickens used it as a metaphor for a society that had lost itself to squabbles, cynicism, and contempt. But Fowler is real. Even though almost nothing is happening, the defense lawyers keep billing their clients—many of them major U.S. corporations—top-dollar fees, and Nix rakes in a fortune. His firm has taken an estimated $26 million of the $69 million in out-of-court settlements from various companies that have surrendered to his demands. Yet he still cannot show if the workers' diseases were caused by specific products shipped to Lone Star Steel.
I started coming to Daingerfield last fall—and would return half a dozen times more—to try to understand how a single lawsuit in an isolated East Texas town could ignite such chaos in corporate boardrooms across America. What I found was a case study in the way the American court system allows lawsuits to fester at the expense of justice. Because of vaguely written laws governing civil procedure, and because of judges who are unwilling to set stringent evidentiary requirements in their courtrooms, smart lawyers can slow the progress of a civil dispute to an almost imperceptible crawl. For what they often believe are the most noble purposes, plaintiff's lawyers resort to duplicity, delay, and bare-knuckled legal brinkmanship to try to force a company to settle. Defense lawyers use the same tactics to keep a lawsuit away from an unpredictable judge and jury.

Make sure also that the page directive "Inherits="_MyPage" points to it and both pages have different inherited classes

Can you delete the combos and the error dissapears?

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Cornel West's Sketches of My Culture is probably the first hip-hop record by a Harvard professor. I demand that academia reciprocate and immediately put Ol' Dirty Bastard on the tenure track. Until then, Dr. Dre doesn't need to worry about Dr. West. Positive? Awwww yeah . . . this is some of the most eat-your-(black-eyed)-peas hip-hop to fall off the conveyor belt. It is resolutely positive, self-conscious about the integrity of its message. What Sketches needs is more Professor Griff and less gentleman-scholar.
Perhaps music-industry liberal Danny Goldberg, head of Artemis Records, put him up to it. Maybe West is doing this simply as one more fan inspired by the music. He does call rap "the greatest creative breakthrough of the last 25 years/The younger generation fusing linguistic virtuosity with rhythmic velocity."
But let's not sweat West's own rhythmic velocity; he's got better mic skills than Billy Bob Thornton does on his debut album, and probably better than Angelina Jolie, too. Ponder instead the linguistic virtuositywhere his writing has often fallen short in the past. Let's just say that if hip-hop was born out of verbal battles and confrontation, this record comes out of one big lefty group hug. West goes for feel-good blockbuster progressivism, and he takes it very seriously; nuance, detail, personality, poetrythese are things that keep people from one another, brothers and sisters, and West is a coalition builder. This might be the first album of the new "Americans better watch what they say" era. It's staunchly forward-looking, a train almost anybody can board, uplifting and as self-censoriously programmatic as Tom Ridge or "Tom Dooley."
The music is not the problem, never so good you think about songcraft, never so bad you pay much attention. You are supposed instead to attend to the public intellectual, perhaps especially when he gently swings at those who have replaced public intellectuals in the eyes of much of the popular audiencenamely, rappers. West spanks those who flaunt the N-word, and chastises gun-toters thusly: "Without self-respect you'll certainly self-destruct/Be true to your history, therein lies the possibility." Will that be on the test?
What's next? A cover of Ludacris's "What's Your Fantasy" from Marjorie Garber? Maybe the Coup will team up with Stanley Fish to debate the existence of free speech? Meanwhile, I'm heading to the bunker with a copy of The Donald Goines Reader and a sack of purple pills, waiting for a more nutty professor to make sense of the world.

NEW ORLEANS -- Officials at City Hall say we're going to start seeing more community outreach as they try to recruit more New Orleans police officers.
It's all part of a three-month push to get more people to apply for the NOPD.
During the second phase of recruitment you'll see television ads, but you'll also see officials visiting churches across the city in an effort to find qualified applicants.
So far 27 people are going through the only academy class this year, and three others have been hired for the next academy class, which could begin as early as August or October.
But it's still a far cry from the 150 recruits Mayor Mitch Landrieu had hoped for this year.
And with officers leaving at an average of one every 60 hours, bringing the number of NOPD officers to a modern-day low, officials say recruitment efforts are critical.
'This is just the beginning. We will continue the hiring process, and we will continue to make sure the city is safe, and we won't stop until that is so,' Landrieu said.
'I absolutely believe as we go into the coming six, 12, 18 or 24 months, we will reach all of our goals and we will have 1,600 people on this police department and we will do this every single day until we get there,' said NOPD Superintendent Ronal Serpas.
Officials are planning two recruitment events next month and they're touting new equipment and better facilities as part of their recruitment efforts.

Hewitt Reaches 600 Match Wins Milestone
Miami, U.S.A.
by James Buddell|
Lleyton Hewitt has become the 21st player in ATP World Tour history to record 600 match wins. Only Roger Federer (942) and Rafael Nadal (675) have won more matches among active players.
Hewitt passed the match wins milestone on Thursday after he fought past Robin Haase 3-6, 6-3, 6-3 in the Sony Open Tennis first round.
Hewitt has spent more than half his life playing tennis professionally.
In the first few years, after he had won his maiden ATP World Tour title at Adelaide (d. Stoltenberg) on 11 January 1998, aged 16 years, 11 months and ranked No. 550 in the Emirates ATP Rankings, he responded to fan mail and signed photographs at his own expense.
His cries of "C'mon" – now a staple moniker of players on tour – and Vicht celebrations rattled some players but it fired up Hewitt, who, just like previous teenage phenomena John McEnroe, Mats Wilander and Boris Becker, produced tennis that provoked reaction from fans and media alike.
Watch Hewitt Interview
At his peak, when 5'11", 170lb Hewitt was the world's premier player for 80 weeks, his speed around the court, return of serve and consistency from the baseline were all exceptional. Upon losing to Hewitt in the 2001 US Open, Pete Sampras said, "The kid is so quick it's unbelievable. He returned and passed about as well as anyone I've ever played. He's got the best return and the best wheels in the game."
By the age of 20 years and eight months, Hewitt had achieved all his childhood ambitions: to win a Grand Slam (2001 US Open), the Davis Cup (1999) and get to the World No. 1 (19 November 2001).
Hewitt won the first all-baseliner Wimbledon final in 2002, when he beat David Nalbandian. He also clinched the 2001 and 2002 Barclays ATP World Tour Finals and back-to-back ATP World Tour Masters 1000 titles in Indian Wells (2002-03).
|No. 1
|1998 Adelaide
|d. Scott Draper (1R)
|No. 100
|2000 Indianapolis
|d. Albert Costa (3R)
|No. 200
|2002 San Jose
|d. Andre Agassi (F)
|No. 300
|2004 Australian Open
|d. Karol Kucera (2R)
|No. 400
|2006 Sydney
|d. Vincent Spadea (1R)
|No. 500
|2009 Munich
|d. Philipp Petzschner (1R)
One of his finest Grand Slam runs came at the 2005 Australian Open, when – at a time that his injuries were beginning to become troublesome – his performances in Melbourne marked him down as an 'old school' player echoing the exploits of past Australian greats. Hewitt rallied with a hip injury to come within one victory of lifting his home Grand Slam title, having defeated Nadal, Nalbandian and Andy Roddick in three consecutive five-set matches.
Tony Roche's description of Hewitt as "the toughest competitor I've ever seen" is a fine tribute. No player can match Hewitt's 32 five-set victories and his passion for Davis Cup is unchallenged. He holds several Australian records for most wins (54), most singles wins (40) and most ties played (37).
The big toe on his left foot might now be locked in with two screws and a metal plate, but at 33 years of age he continues to revel in the spirit of the underdog in his 18th season following the sun.
During his unforgettable run in his second tour-level event at Adelaide, Australia had eight players in the Top 100 — led by No. 2 Patrick Rafter — and Hewitt was the nation's No. 30. Today, it has just four and Hewitt is Australia's highest ranked player at No. 41. Matthew Ebden (No. 62), Marinko Matosevic (No. 69) and Bernard Tomic (No. 72) continue to learn from Hewitt's example.
In January he lifted his 29th title at the Brisbane International presented by Suncorp. It was Hewitt's first ATP World Tour title for three-and-a-half years, when he won the 2010 Gerry Weber Open crown. His opponent, just as it was on 6 January 2014, was Roger Federer, the standard-bearer for a generation.
A natural talent for ball striking took him to the pinnacle of the sport, yet Hewitt's legacy is his zeal for competition; his desire and guts on the court, and his courage to go for a stroke under extreme pressure. Hewitt has always proudly worn his heart on his sleeve.

North Carolina State University wants exemption from public records law
North Caroline State University says an open records law has caused the school to lose out on dozens of contracts with private companies and, in turn, millions of dollars in funding, reports WRAL. However, school officials were not able to offer an exact number of dollars lost or the number of companies that have declined to work the university.
Now, NCSU is hoping for an open records law exception that will protect the information shared during private businesses' research.

Facebook to pull messaging from main app
Facebook will soon be taking the messaging function out of its main mobile app, The Verge reports. The separate Facebook Messenger app will be required to chat; users who click the messages button in Facebook will be transferred to the Messenger app. Facebook is already notifying users in some European countries that the changes will be made in a few weeks. The company confirmed the functionality will be removed in every country.
There are a few exceptions to the change: users of Facebook Paper will still be able to message from within the app, and those accessing Facebook through its mobile site will still have messaging functionality.

Help someone!? Can't boot Windows XP, even in safe mode.
by wordiana - 11/15/12 2:37 AM
Hey, I really hope someone could advise me, am hoping to find someone out there who loves solving computer problems!
I am running XP on my PC, a Dell Dimension E520 (old machine i know but hey, I'm a student!). Recently installed an update to firefox and one to AVG (aaah shouldn't have left AVG on there!). When I next turned it on I couldn't boot windows, even in safe mode. I wanted to boot in safe mode with command prompt and go back to an earlier date.
I can get into the setup utility and there can see that the boot sequence is 1. Onboard or USB CD-ROM drive, 2. Onboard SATA hard drive (not present). I can also get any info needed from the setup i.e processor type etc, wasn't sure that it was relevant.
So I am drawing the conclusion that it is a virus or fault that has made my hard drive disappear. I do have a full system backup although I am kind of a novice so don't really know how to use this (I made it on like 10 CD-Rs and a USB stick!).
Could anyone advise me on what would be the cheapest way to get a working PC again, running windows? Am not really bothered about recovering my files although it is always nice. If I get another hard drive and put the full system backup on there (don't really even know how to install another hard drive but am thinking the internet can tell me), would that work? Or should I take the existing hard drive to a computer shop? Or any other tricks which I don't know about to get it working again?
Thanks in advance!

Lillet Martini
Ça c'est bon. Is there anything more charming than finding a quaint French bistro in a neighborhood where you don't expect it? Mais non! A decade ago, any restaurant that dared to open in this part of town had to feature chips and salsa on its menu; two decades before that, garlic bread and red sauce. But now a new generation of hip, trendy eateries is gentrifying lower Highland -- with Patrick DuPays leading the way. The chef/owner of Z Cuisine comes complete with French accent, French heritage and French love for fresh ingredients that are used to create the daily specials listed on the chalkboard. And the cocktail du jour? While many might suggest a fine wine to complement that cassoulet, I went with the Lillet Martini ($7), made with Grey Goose, Lillet and a fresh lemon zest. Barely large enough to seat an entire baseball team -- at separate tables -- Z Cuisine still packs in plenty of joie de vivre. And the comfortable bar area looks like the ideal spot to have dinner alone, daydreaming of Paris and Jean-Luc. Quelle idée!

Cancun, Mexico
My Rating
What a fantastic day. Transfers were timely. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, easy to understand, warm and fun. They way it was set up we got there "just early enough" and we were wrapping up the guided portion just as the place was filling up with the bus tours. Great pics...every turn was another 'wow'. Mayaland was fantastic too...beautiful grounds and we wrapped up the day with a short swim and a couple of margaritas. Easily one of the best tours I've been on...WORTH EVERY PENNY.

It's the year 1400. Europe sees the dawn of the "golden age of the new departures and the free spirit" – the late Middle Ages. Under the rule of the bourgeoisie and businessmen, more and more towns are emerging from the clutches of the aristocracy and are achieving independence, power and wealth.
New businesses are flourishing, bringing financial strength and political influence to a growing economy. However, life in the narrow, overpopulated alleyways and streets of the towns also has its downsides: epidemics and diseases are spreading, and thieves and highwaymen lie in wait to get their piece of the wealth. Now you can try your hand in these exciting times of change. Will you head down the path of an honest craftsman or a dubious priest? It's your choice…

Bombs targeting Shiite pilgrims in Iraq kill 51
BAGHDAD Three car bombs blasted through security checkpoints ringing the Iraqi holy city of Karbala on Thursday and killed at least 51 people, most of whom were Shiite pilgrims headed to observe yearly religious rituals.
It was the latest in a wave of attacks in recent days, as insurgents test Iraqi security forces ahead of the planned U.S. withdrawal at the end of the year.
There was no immediate claim of responsibility, but the bombings bore the hallmark of al-Qaida and other Sunni-dominated extremist groups that frequently target Shiite pilgrimages in hopes of re-igniting sectarian violence that brought Iraq to the brink of civil war just a few years ago.
Authorities estimated as many as 183 people were wounded in the near-simultaneous blasts set off by three suicide bombers driving cars packed with explosives.
Ali Khamas, a pilgrim from the Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City in Baghdad, said he saw a car speeding toward one of the checkpoints, its driver refusing to stop despite warnings screamed by Iraqi soldiers.
"He sped up and blew up his car near the checkpoint," said Khamas, a 42-year-old truck driver. "After the explosion, people started to run in all directions, while wounded people on the ground were screaming for help. I saw several dead bodies on the ground."
Still, Khamas said, the pilgrims continued to head to Karbala: "It will not deter us from continuing our march to the holy shrine ... even if the explosions increase."
Crowds of pilgrims headed to a Karbala hospital to donate blood for the wounded. Authorities said 11 soldiers and policemen were among the dead, and the rest were pilgrims.
Iraqi security officials and hospital staff who gave details on the attacks and casualty figures all spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to release information.
The series of attacks this week shattered a relative calm since the formation last month of a new government under Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shiite whose family comes from the Karbala area.
The attacks point to the resiliency of the Sunni insurgents and to the inability of the Shiite-dominated security forces to prevent major assaults, even though the level of violence is far lower than at the height of the war three years ago.
As long as Iraq's security forces are unable to stop such attacks, there is a risk that extremists could re-ignite sectarian violence and destabilize the country as the American military presence fades.
Al-Maliki adviser Adil Barwari said the attacks show extremists' determination "to undermine the new Iraqi government."
He noted that insurgents also likely hope to spook other nations who are sending delegates to the Arab League summit in Baghdad in March - the first time Iraq has hosted the meeting in 20 years.
"They want it to fail," Barwari said. "But al-Qaida will not succeed in achieving this goal."
Pilgrims are headed to Karbala for religious rituals that mark the end of an annual 40-day mourning period observing the seventh-century death of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. Imam Hussein is one of the most revered figures among Shiite Muslims and was killed in Karbala in a battle that sealed Islam's historic Sunni-Shiite split.

Knicks overcome Curry's 54 to beat Warriors
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK — Carmelo Anthony scored 35 points, J.R. Smith hit the tiebreaking shot with 1:10 left, and the New York Knicks overcame Stephen Curry's NBA season-high 54 points to beat the Golden State Warriors 109-105 on Wednesday night.
Curry was 18 of 28 from the field, finishing one shy of the NBA record with 11 3-pointers, in a performance that had the crowd hanging on his every shot. But the Knicks finally stopped him with 1:28 to play when Raymond Felton blocked his shot with the score tied at 105.
That led to a jumper by Smith, who finished with 26 points. Anthony followed with another basket and the Knicks hung on to spoil former Knicks star and Warriors coach Mark Jackson's homecoming.

New London - Lawrence + Memorial Hospital's top executive issued a sharp response Thursday to a letter from Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, who expressed "deep concerns" about the hospital's "current healthcare, employment and community service practices."
Malloy, in his letter to Bruce Cummings, L+M's president and chief executive officer, wrote, "After hearing from your healthcare workers and service employees, and in light of the decision by the National Labor Relations Board to file a formal complaint against you, I believe there are several serious areas of concern that deserve a response."
The letter was released late in the afternoon.
"It is ironic that Gov. Malloy is now expressing 'deep concerns about the current healthcare, employment and community service practices' at L+M after his budget cut funding to this institution by more than $18 million over two years and resulted in elimination of valuable programs, services and employees," Cummings said in a statement emailed to The Day.
"Statewide, Gov. Malloy cut funding to Connecticut hospitals by $550 million, which has resulted in hundreds if not thousands of job losses at a time when the state's lagging economy cannot afford an uptick in its unemployment rate."
In his letter, the governor cited L+M's transfer of positions covered by collective bargaining agreements to newly created L+M affiliates whose employees are not covered by union contracts, and the hospital's recent layoff of 44 employees who were not offered jobs at the newly created affiliates.
The transfer, Malloy wrote, "appears to be a legal maneuver designed to avoid providing the wage rates and health insurance agreed to in existing union contracts."
The governor called on L+M "to take every possible step" to reach a new labor agreement before an existing one expires next month.
"Contacting town officials before contract negotiations had begun to discuss the use of replacement workers in the event of a strike clearly runs counter to that concept," he wrote.
Finally, Malloy wrote, the roughly 180 employees working in L+M's cafeteria and environmental services departments who are covered by union contracts "deserve to know if they are at risk of elimination."
Cummings further responded:
"It is unfortunate the governor bases his assertions on false and misleading claims from union leaders and - before hearing the other side of the story - delivered his letter to the state Capitol news media before it arrived here at the hospital.
"His letter refers to serious and complex issues that are better discussed in a non-political manner than fed to the media at the behest of the unions. We would have expected better from our state's chief executive."
The NLRB has scheduled a hearing Monday on a union complaint that L+M violated federal labor laws by moving jobs out of the main hospital to outpatient offices in the community.

Camping at the highest point in Alabama!
We spent the night in the RV at Cheaha State Park in Talladega Alabama.
We arrived early enough to take some pics as we headed up the mountain.
Poor RV had a tough time getting up some of the hills. I think we were down to about 15 MPH on a few of the steeper ones. What happens when we get out west :(

After a lovely lunch from the concession booth we climbed to our seats in the 87 degree heat.

Gas across the Southern states is averaging $3.00 and I continue to average 8.5 MPG. Crossed numerous large rivers along the way today and through Talledega National Forest. Camped in Heflin, AL (halfway between Birmingham and Atlanta) for 2 nights.
Checked the weather in Ft Myers -- high of 85, low of 65 for the next several days. Sounds good to me! Still on track to arrive Ft Myers on Nov 20, if not before.

Sick stuff man. Watching you work in san fran was totally a mind fuck. Talk about taking a round about route to a finished product! Its something to keep in mind when im obsessing over the finish of a piece instead of just rippin and letting it flow.
How long do you normally spend on a piece and how many times does it usually change idea in the process? I dont know if thats a question that can be answered....?

cburt, it's more like the picture builds itself, i don't usually start with the composition, i just doodle then try to maintain a balance in the picture dynamics as the elements are drawn one after each other. bad habit but it's more fun that way. as for characters, i usually have a very rough idea when i start, it can be a shape, a personnality or just some color scheme, it really depends.
n0fish, as a teenager, i used to be a shameless rip off/wannabe philippe druillet;moebius;sienkiewicz. As i grew older i tried to develop my own way of drawing but i guess i can't help being influenced by things i see around me...i wish i could paint and draw like phil hale. then i would order some craig david singing skills and be a happy man. or maybe not.
layil, it's hard to answer that question. it depends on the job, when i do illos or artsy-graphical stuff, time is not really an issue, i just have to draw a picture, so it can be 15mins up to 3 days (usually 1 or 2 hours seem to be good for me to spend on an image, since i can then bring some definition and start to add some details without overdoing the polish and killing the roughness. if i stop before one hour, i tend to overlook things and the picture will retain all the mistakes and bad habits, so i now force myself to spend a bit more time and fix flaws when i can see them). When i have to design things, i have to take into account a lot of different parameters like context/stroy/scenario/gameplay, function, ergonomy, and so on. so most of the time is devoted to thinking and developping the concept without doing actual drawings, rendering and representations are just extra stuff to communicate with other people, so even if the drawing in itself can be pretty quick, it's the time that i spend beforehand that matters in that case..
On the other hand, when i just want to sketch for fun, it looks like the demo i did during the workshop. i'll just throw some random shapes, overpaint them till i finally see something i like.
ryu, i won't marry anyone from the same sex as me, since i don't want to rot in hell and have a soare ass. thanks anyway. and i work in paris.
to the rest of you, thanks a lot for taking time to write those comments. sorry for not replying to everyone this time, got lots of work going on right now.

- International authorities have arrested a computer hacker they think is responsible for creating malicious computer code that infected 12 million computers. According to the FBI, a 23-year-old Slovenian identified as Iserdo was snagged in Maribor, Slovenia. This followed an investigation by Slovenian Police, aided by the FBI and Spanish authorities. The Mariposa botnet appeared back in December 2008. It infected the networks of more than half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and at least 40 major banks. The Slovenian arrest comes months after Spanish police broke up a massive cyber scam, arresting three alleged ringleaders who operated the Mariposa botnet. Iserdo has been released on bond.
- Are you the cyber-security weak link? Despite all the cyber-attacks, one of the easiest way to hack a system is by reaching out to you. It's called social engineering. And a team next week is running a social engineering capture-the-flag competition at the Defcon cybersecurity conference. Chris Dorobek of the Dorobek Insider turned to the team behind a social engineering competition -- Chris Hadnagy and Mati Aharoni of Offensive Security.

The BEST KIELBASA....WHITE EAGLE (Brooklyn)
- z
- Zanzibar
Though not the first place most people think of when talking about Polish Sausage; NYC has some of the BEST KIELBASA you will ever try.
EAGLE PROVISIONS ("White Eagle" in neighborhood parlance)on the corner of 18th Street & 5th Ave in Brooklyn sells "Epicurean delights from around the world"(per their sign) and makes their sausage on the premises.
It 's this fact, the freshness, that sets their Keilbasa "Keh-bahssy" apart from all the rest.
So good, it is best eaten uncooked, just cut off a piece and CHOW DOWN BABY!!!
re: jen kalb
I've tried both White Eagle and Jubilat. They're good, but Kurowycky (1st Ave. @ 7th St. in Manhattan) is in a class by itself. The Best, and no doubt about it.
re: jen kalb
Inspired by this thread, I finally got around to trying White Eagle and Jubilat, back to back. White Eagle was good, but for my money the clear winner is Jubilat. It's great stuff, full of smoky flavor. Now I've got to try Kurowycky....
We have white eagle kielbasa upstate too, its made over in schenectady... is it the same stuff??
re: John Malinoski
I wouldn't fed that to my dogs.

Even as the controversy rages over South China Sea, India feels the hydrocarbon block offered by Vietnam to it in the maritime region is commercially not viable and no activity is taking place there.
Sources said the preliminary assessment of the block offered over two years ago had shown some elements of gas and oil.
However, subsequently, it came to notice that the bed of the block was very difficult and ONGC's overseas arm ONGC Videsh Limited has been seeking to exit from there, the sources said.
But Vietnam has been requesting OVL to continue its efforts.
"It became clear that cost does not match benefits. So, there is no work going on there," a source said, adding any operation can be undertaken only if it is "worth its while".
The exploration block was a cause of tiff between India and China about a year ago with Beijing protesting as it lays claim over entire South China Sea.
India has maintained there should be freedom in terms of international rules for navigation and exploitation of resources.
In the context of the issue, the recent comments by Naval Chief Admiral D K Joshi that India could send even its troops to South China Sea to protect its interests have not gone down well with the External Affairs Ministry. However, the MEA is not making an issue out of it, although it wants restraint by chiefs of forces.
Joshi had made the comments at a time when National Security Adviser Shivshanker Menon, India's Special Representative, was in Beijing hold talks on the boundary question with his counterpart Dai Bingguo.
The sources noted that the mechanism of Special Representative talks was useful in maintaining tranquality on the boundary even as there are different perceptions as to where the Line of Actual Control runs.
The LAC has never been formally designated but to ensure that there is no flare-up, the SR talks as also other such mechanisms of contact at the level of government and forces are used, the sources said.
In these meetings, issues of concern are raised by each side, they said. The Chinese side raises and "protests" any activity like road construction close to the boundary while India does the same whenever the troops from China "come very close" to the border.
Citing an incident of last year, the sources said India lodged one such protest, pointing out to the Chinese that it was not as per protocol that their troops came so close to the border.
On the latest round of talks Menon held in Beijing, the sources said it was informal SR talks and to touch the base with the new leadership of China.

I travel all over the world and this was the first experience staying in hostel and having good time, I just called one day before I arrival to Anchorage and talked to Dave (manager), immediately he made my reservation. During my two weeks staying in same place all of staff really were very friendly, helpful and respectful to every person. All I can say Dave, Alan and Adam and others that I forgot their names, thanks again for making my time in Alaska a true Alaskan experience. Mina Fard

A fantastic value in a very expensive city. A small former hotel sitting in the shadow of a huge luxury hotel in downtown Anchorage. Direct bus to airport. Good hostel facilities. Caveat: No grocery store nearby.
