Open-Source R500 Driver Can Compete With Legacy Catalyst
The latest open-source Radeon Linux driver code for supporting the Radeon X1000 (R500) series hardware has basically reached a point of competitiveness with the legacy Catalyst Linux driver that once supported this hardware. In some cases the open-source Gallium3D driver is now faster than what Catalyst once ran at while in other select OpenGL workloads there is still a proprietary imbalance.

Intel Glamor Acceleration Compared To SNA, UXA
Going back to last year there's been the "Glamor Acceleration" project out of Intel to accelerate the 2D operations within X using OpenGL on Mesa. This is similar to the Xorg state tracker approach and while it's not yet enabled by default, Intel OTC developers have been making much progress in recent months. In this article is a look at the recent Glamor update while comparing it to the stock Intel UXA acceleration as well as to the other experimental acceleration option: Intel SNA.

You might think that if you lock your backup tapes in a safe they are protected from a data breach, but Kmart's recent data breach proves that's not the case. Last month, a person held a Kmart employee in Little Rock, Arkansas at gun point and ordered him to open the store's safe. The perpetrator ran off with the safe's contents, including almost $6,000 and the day's backup disk.
The next problem for Kmart (or maybe the first problem)? The backup disk was not encrypted or password-protected. The Chicago Tribune reports that information on the disk included confidential information relating to prescriptions including, names, addresses and medications prescribed for almost 800 customers. According to another news source, parent company Sears says that "certain prescriptions also contained the customer's social security number."
Kmart spokesperson Shannelle Armstrong-Fowler said there was a "slim to none" chance of the thief accessing information on the disk because he would need to know what software package Kmart uses and have that software, but, FierceRetail asserts that it would not be that difficult to extract information from the disk by using a hex dump utility. According to StorefrontBacktalk, the initial police report did not reference the missing data disk, and Little Rock Police said no updated report had been filed. Such an updated report would have been filed had Sears contacted police to update the list of what had been stolen. Read more details here.
This breach underscores the importance of implementing layers of security. Using strong encryption and passwords in addition to locking the media in a safe would have provided greater security to customer information and saved Kmart some angst.

'Official warnings triggered by a few disputes created unfounded misperceptions'
Recent warnings from local authorities about "untrustworthy" Indian businessmen and a spate of trading disputes sparked by financial strains of West Asian companies, some of which were run by Indians, have created an atmosphere of distrust and tension in one of China's largest trading towns, local traders say.
A website run by the Yiwu local government last month warned of "many Indian businessmen being involved in disputes" after one trader, named Ali, left China owing 16 million RMB ($ 2.5 million) to 145 businessmen.
The website reported that he had ordered 30 million RMB worth of goods between September and December, but subsequently disappeared.
Following the incident, police issued a warning to traders "to be careful of Indian businessmen." The local authorities also cited a case two Indian businessmen, holding tourist visas, leaving China with 2.8 million RMB worth of goods two years ago.
In recent weeks, the kidnapping of two Indian traders — employed by a Yemeni national according to reports — by angry Chinese businessmen has further underscored rising strains in this tough trading town, leaving unclear future for the several hundred Indian businessmen who have worked here for decades with few problems.
Many local businesses in Yiwu have, in recent months, also been hit by falling orders from West Asia following the Arab Spring unrest. Many West Asian companies, Chinese traders said, had closed shop leaving dues running into millions of dollars unpaid. Some of the companies were managed or run by Indian employees.
"Business is down by 20 or 30 per cent, so there is a lot of anger here," said one Chinese trader.
Although the two Indian traders were unlawfully abducted and abused in captivity over two weeks, there was little sympathy for them among many Chinese traders in Yiwu. On one Yiwu web portal frequented by local businessmen, a post discussing the recent case described Indians and Libyans as being the source of most trade disputes.
Indian traders here say the official warnings triggered by only a few disputes have created unfounded misperceptions.
"In India and in China, there are a few bad apples," said one trader from New Delhi who has worked in Yiwu for eight years, during which he said he had faced "no problems".
"Many Chinese exporters to India too often sell below quality goods, but we cannot tar everyone with the same brush. Many other Chinese I've worked with have been honest and trusting."
Following the recent case, the Indian Embassy in Beijing issued an advisory, cautioning Indians not do business in Yiwu, warning that "when there are trade disputes… Indian businessmen/traders can be illegally held under detention and mistreated by Chinese businessmen."
The Indian trader said he was unsure how the local authorities would respond to the warning, and feared it could risk fuelling further mutual suspicions instead of bridging gaps. Indian officials, however, said the advisory was needed to stress strongly that unlawful intimidation and kidnapping could not be tolerated.
The two Indian traders were detained by businessmen after the owner of their company, thought to be from Yemen, fled leaving more than 10 million RMB ($ 1.58 million) in unpaid dues.
Hong Lei, spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, said on Wednesday the dispute was "only an individual case," and that China hoped India would "educate Indian businessmen in China to abide by laws and regulations and conduct business in good faith."
For Yiwu's Indians, however, the harsh treatment meted out to the two traders has only stirred fears, with the widely perceived close connections between local businessmen and the authorities, leaving unclear whether they would be provided any protection, either from police or by law, in the event of future disputes.

Big spenders still cast a long shadow over Texas politics
This falls under the heading of news that really doesn't come as much of a surprise, but it still demands attention.
Watchdog outfits keeping tabs on this year's politicking in Texas report that the seriously big money going to the two parties (distinct from donations to individual candidates) is concentrated in a strikingly small number of hands.
As the Dallas Morning News reported Thursday, one Dallas trial lawyer, Fred Baron, was the indirect provider of $317,000 of the $470,000 taken in by the Democratic Party.
On the GOP side, two individuals, San Antonio physician/businessman James Leininger and Houston homebuilder Bob Perry accounted for $680,000 of the $1.2 million in contributions that party has received.
Not surprisingly, critics see this as worrisome. The executive director of one monitoring operation, Craig McDonald of Texans for Public Justice, calls for a cap of $100,000 per election for such contributions from any individual.
Defenders of the status quo serenely reply that campaign donations are a form of free expression.
At least this much is fairly certain: Until the system is rocked by some kind of political cataclysm or by an eruption of voter revulsion, don't look for anything to change significantly.
The big bucks will flow, and there will be no shortage of takers for the largesse.

By ZUHRIN AZAM AHMAD
PETALING JAYA: Kelantan's gold dinar that was recently introduced has been sold out with most people buying it for investment purposes.
Kelantan Gold Trade (KGT) Sdn Bhd that issues the dinar and the silver dirham said about RM1.5mil worth of dinar and RM1mil worth of dirham had been sold since it was introduced on Aug 12.
"We kindly request the public to wait until after Aidilfitri if they wish to purchase any more dinar. Now, only the dirham coins is available but it will be strictly sold to those who want to use it to pay tithe," said KGT chief executive officer Umar Ibrahim Vadiloo to reporters here Saturday.
KGT is the subsidiary of Kelantan Mentri Besar Corporation which also manages the syariah-compliant currency.
Umar said about 150,000 dinar and dirham coins were minted and many bought them for investment purposes.
"It is a gold coin, so of course they can keep it as an investment and our observation showed that most bought them for that purpose," he said.
A dinar is currently equivalent to RM592 and a dirham is worth about RM13 but their values fluctuate according to market prices.
According to Islamic law, the dinar coin is 4.25 grams of gold, while the dirham is 3.0 grams of pure silver.

Maserati brought both Ghibli S Q4 and Quattroporte S Q4 to the Italian Alps last month for an event to demonstrate its all-wheel-drive system to international media. This is, after all, the first ever winter in the company's century-long history that snow-worthy cars have worn the Trident badge. Autoweek's John Carey tries out the Q4 system in the snow:
Maserati's very first all-wheel-drive system, Quattroporte and Ghibli, Q4 is mechanically simple but electronically sophisticated. The same basic all-wheel-drive component set will also likely be seen in the next Maserati, the Levante SUV scheduled to go into production very late this year or early 2015.
The heart of the Q4 system is the clutch located inside the transfer case bolted to the rear of the ZF eight-speed automatic transmission, the same transmission that is used in all Quattroporte and Ghibli models. Q4's mechatronics can take the wet multiplate clutch from fully open to fully engaged in just 150 milliseconds, an eye-blink transition from 100% rear-drive to all-wheel-drive with 50% of available torque being distributed to each axle.
But this is a clever clutch, capable of delivering anything between the extremes of open and closed. Or, to put it another way, any proportion of available torque between 0-50%. Maserati engineers claim, persuasively, that the clutch's smarts allowed them to create a pair of all-wheel-drive cars that feel like they're rear-drive most of the time.
Whatever torque is directed forward by a Q4-equipped Maserati's clutch is transmitted through the transfer case's train of three gears to a propshaft. This connects to the front axle's open differential and its pair of drive shafts.
Installed, Q4 adds around 130 pounds to a Maserati's weight. This isn't a lot; it's certainly not enough to significantly impact either fuel economy or weight distribution.
The ski resort town of Cervinia, near Monte Cervino, was the base selected by Maserati. On the Swiss side of the border on which it stands, the mountain is called by its better-known name: the Matterhorn. Maserati's program involved driving on both nearby public roads and a mile-long track close to Cervinia.
Narrow Italian mountain back roads, in the depths of winter, are a very different kind of test. Despite encountering slush and snow on the higher sections of the test loop, the Maseratis were stable, secure and swift. These are uncomfortably wide cars to thread through village streets, but this was the only difficulty.
For those who need a Maserati that will easily make it up a steep driveway any month of the year, the answer must be 'yes.'
But this isn't the only reason to go for Maserati's all-wheel-drive option. In the case of the $76,900 Ghibli S Q4, its $9,000 higher price compared with the base Ghibli buys not only more power but also greater curvy-road agility.
And there are precisely 38,000 reasons choose the Quattroporte S Q4 over the V8. That's how many dollars less the $102,500 all-wheel-drive car costs. Though its engine delivers 119 fewer hp than the V8 of the rear-drive GTS, the S Q4 isn't, thanks to all-wheel-drive, very much slower 0-60 mph.

About him
My name is
Name Visible on Login
and I graduated from Auckland and Otago Universities with degrees in Medicine (MBChB) and a BSc in Neuroscience. I work as a cardiology registrar in Auckland and have lived in NZ for the last decade.
I was raised in India (Bombay, Baroda and Bangalore) and then moved to Muscat, Oman with my family until it was time to leave high school. I was very open to expanding my world view and so ended up studying philosophy, cognitive neuroscience and eventually medicine
I've managed to sustain my interest in science and medicine, and really enjoy clinical work, but I also have deep rooted interests in theatre and music, having been an actor and a director of a critically acclaimed theatre company in Auckland. We've come up with some really fun plays over the last decade and managed to carve a niche for ourselves amongst the theatre community in NZ.
Over the last year, I chose to take a sabbatical from medical work to pursue
theatre and music in India. I found myself admitted at Adishakti theatre in Pondicherry to learn theatre techniques and at a Carnatic Music Gurukul in Trichy, Tamil Nadu. (I was privy to some of the finest artists from all over India practicing their dying art forms - it was a fantastic experience - and I'm much richer for it).
I have much to learn still, and hope to continue being a student of both medicine and the arts. I'm currently training to specialise, and I really like internal medicine, especially Cardiology and Infectious Diseases. ( My fellowship exams loom). I've been admitted at Oxford to learn ways in which to merge medicine with effective management and will read for an MBA.
I have come around to the realisation that it would be super to find someone amazing in the next few years to share my life with.
Ultimately I want in a wife, the best friend. I value this above the baggage of social conventions. I am open to meeting someone who shares in the passion and zest for life and respect the sanctity of the journey that we may be about to embark on.
Please don't hesitate if you wish to get in touch. I think this is a great forum to meet new people, regardless of where it may lead. Many thanks for your time.

Unfortunately, the taint of melodrama similarly infects the hour-long documentary These Men of Conscience (opens September 7 at the Quad), writer-director-producer Carol Ann Francis's homage to New York firefighters. In lengthy interviews, five men struggle to convey the source of their "need to do right," all the while trapped in unwavering close-ups. This rigid framing is only broken by a series of static shots taken inside the firehousea pair of boots, a helmet, and a hosefading into one another. Though in tribute to men of action, These Men of Conscience is incongruously sapped of any dynamism, save that provided by Loreena McKennitt's melancholy sweep of a soundtrack, the only truly robust aspect of the film.

Villa squanders a golden opportunity against Fulham
LONDON: Wayne Rooney led 10-man Manchester United to a 1-0 victory over Manchester City on Sunday in a heated 150th derby that saw Cristiano Ronaldo sent off.
The England striker ended a six-week goal drought to ensure fame prevailed over fortune as the European and English champion took on its neighbour for the first time since Abu Dhabi royalty made City the wealthiest club in the world.
Rooney had been determined to show that United is the true 'King of Manchester,' and his 42nd-minute goal — his 100th in club football — proved decisive.
City goalkeeper Joe Hart spilled Michael Carrick's shot from a tight angle, and Rooney was able to tap over into an unguarded net.
The Red Devils clung on to their slender advantage despite facing a far more assertive City side in the second half and playing the last 22 minutes a man down.
Ronaldo had been harshly booked for tripping Shaun Wright-Phillips in the 59th and then sarcastically applauding referee Howard Webb.
It proved costly when the Portugal star was shown a second yellow card for deliberately handling Rooney's corner.
To chants of "cheat," Ronaldo slowly trudged off the City of Manchester stadium pitch.
On Saturday, with none of the teams above it in action, Aston Villa blew a golden opportunity to consolidate its place in the top four when it was held to a goalless draw by a battling Fulham.
Ashley Young, who shot wide from close range, and Stiliyan Petrov, who headed an equally good chance over the bar, were guilty of squandering the best chances.
Elsewhere, it was a bleak day for Sunderland, beaten 4-1 at home by Bolton, while the north-east derby between Middlesbrough and Newcastle finished in a goalless stalemate.
Newcastle's Nigerian striker Obafemi Martins came closest to breaking the deadlock in what was a sterile encounter, his first-half shot coming back off the crossbar.
Sunderland was booed off the pitch by its own supporters after a supine display against fellow struggler Bolton at the Stadium of Light.
Camara nets again
Senegal striker Henri Camara followed up his winner against Everton last week with another goal for Wigan as Steve Bruce's side came from behind to overcome bottom side West Brom 2-1 at the JJB Stadium.
The results:
On Sunday: Manchester City 0 lost to Manchester United 1 (Rooney 42).
On Saturday: Aston Villa 0 drew with Fulham 0; Middlesbrough 0 drew with Newcastle 0; Stoke 1 (Fuller 73-pen) drew with Hull 1 (King 45); Sunderland 1 (Cisse 11) lost to Bolton 4 (Taylor 18, Cahill 21, Elmander 39, 55); Wigan 2 (Camara 61, Boyce 87) beat West Brom 1 (Miller 47). — Agencies

The reports are coming in on Sony's PS Vita and the majority seem to be focusing on battery life. While this is probably because everything else hardware-wise seems to be be pretty flawless, we know poor battery life can make or break a dedicated gaming handheld.
As far as Sony's concerned, the Vita's 2,200 mAh battery can handle 3 to 5 hours of gaming, 9 hours of continuous music playback while in standby mode, or 5 hours of video. Unfortunately, as CNET points out, these stats are based on bluetooth and WiFi being disabled, and the display at default brightness. Of course playing a game that requires WiFi would in theory significantly decrease the estimates.
To put this in perspective, the current gen iPod touch can handle 40 hours of music playback and 7 hours of video. Apple claims 10+ hours (which many reviewers have confirmed) for the iPad, which is arguably the Vita's biggest competitor. Of course, Apple doesn't provide specs for continuous gaming and the superior hardware specs of the Vita (required for superior gaming) certainly suck up a lot of battery life.
Are you concerned about the Vita's battery life? Will it prevent you from picking one up?

'Things Being What They Are' transcends male stereotypes
I'll admit I wasn't doing cartwheels upon learning the Milwaukee Chamber Theatre's holiday play, Wendy MacLeod's "Things Being What They Are," involves two middle-aged, avowedly heterosexual men bonding over brewskis. One of the many reasons I go to the theater is to escape such conversations, which are frequently slathered in cliché when they're not conducted in guttural utterances.
But as MacLeod's smartly written, warm and funny play makes clear, such stereotyping isn't fair to men, and it certainly isn't fair to this moving and entertaining production, which marks the talented Michael Cotey's Chamber directorial debut and features winning performances from actors Dan Katula and Ryan Schabach. »Read Full Article

Carolina's first drive ended with a thud Sunday, as Mike Goodson (in his first NFL start) fumbled the ball away to Tampa Bay on the Carolina 47.
Goodson actually began promisingly, carrying the ball three times for 15 yards on the Panthers' first three plays. Then came a 7-yard pass to Steve Smith. But on 2nd-and-3, Goodson took a clean hit from the Bucs' Gerald McCoy and the ball quickly popped out. So much for a quick start from the Panthers.

The Sedalia Bombers started to rally back from a five-run deficit Saturday against the Ozark Generals at Dey Field at Liberty Park, but they couldn't string enough hits together in the final two innings and fell 6-5.
After seven and a half, the Generals had a comfortable 6-1 lead, but the Bombers didn't go quietly.
Sedalia scored four runs on four hits in the bottom of the seventh to get within one run.
"Really the only thing is that nobody here likes to lose and we try to make a fight of it because we know we have the ability to come back no matter what the score is," Bombers third baseman Tony Sandifer said.
Jess Cartner and Kyle Reid flied out and lined out, respectively, to start the inning, but Daniel Arthur and Shain Showers hit back-to-back doubles to score a run.
Hunter Leeper singled in Showers and the Bombers got help from two wild pitches, a passed ball, a walk and an error to eventually bring Leeper and Aaron Meyer home to make it 6-5 Generals.
However, the Bombers stranded two in the seventh and one in the eighth. The top of the lineup went down 1-2-3 in the ninth to end the game.
The Generals didn't have any big innings like the Bombers. They scored one run four different innings and added two in the top of the seventh.
The Bombers didn't score until the fifth inning.
"We came out flat," Bombers manager Jud Kindle said. "This is the first game in a while we came out flat. That's baseball. We did fight back in the ball game and made it interesting. We just weren't able to pull it out in the end."
Steven Cazares started the game for the Generals and was taken out of the game during the Bombers' rally in the seventh.
"The second and third time through the lineup against that pitcher we made some good adjustments," Showers said. "We had quite a few hits in the beginning, we just didn't string anything together."
The Generals went through three relief pitchers in the final two and one-third innings.
"They were giving us some good looks and different looks," Showers said. "I think this teams is pretty dangerous from top to bottom. We battled. We did what we could."
The Bombers went through four pitchers. Tyler Tuepker allowed four runs in five innings. Reese Taylor, Tony Forcelledo and Dan Chambliss combined for four innings.
In Sunday's game, the Bombers fell 3-1 to St. Joseph. The Mustangs held the Bombers to a run in the bottom of the first and two hits in the game.
Cole Bartlett pitched seven innings, striking out six.
The Bombers (9-4) lead Ozark by 1.5 games in the South Division.
Saturday's game was the second of six straight days the Bombers will play. Sedalia hosts Branson at 7 p.m. Monday. The Generals come back to town at 7 p.m. Tuesday, and the Bombers go to Branson on Wednesday for a 5 p.m. game.

The Obama administration has committed to making government more transparent by making more information available online.
It has reversed an executive order that encouraged too much secrecy, and ordered a top-to-bottom, 120-day review of how the use of new technologies can help the government engage with the public.
But at the other end of Pennsylvania Avenue, openness is slower to catch on.
Critically, Congress has yet to end an outdated policy that prevents ordinary Americans from having easy access to the findings of the Congressional Research Service (CRS), otherwise known as "the brains" of our legislative body.
CRS is funded by taxpayers to the tune of about $100 million a year and generates in-depth reports on critical matters of public policy ranging from forestry to national defense. These reports play a key role in the legislative process, providing the factual support for much of what eventually becomes policy.
Concerned about the future of the country's big banks? CRS just finished a report on options for dealing with insolvency of major banks.
Tired of being stopped at the airport for special screening? CRS recently released a report on the issues posed by airport-passenger screening.
Each of these reports is full of the insightful writing, top-notch analysis, and backed with unclassified, unimpeachable research. Yet few people outside the halls of Congress will ever benefit from these timely reports because of indefensible policies that keep them out of the public's hands.
If relatively few people outside of Capitol Hill have even heard of CRS, it is partly because CRS goes to lengths to make itself unknowable.
An Internet search for CRS turns up a "jobs" page and a brief history of the service, but no official way to obtain CRS reports. That's because CRS has no public-facing function to distribute the reports.
The organization works directly for Congress, as an arm of the Library of Congress, and provides its reports exclusively to lawmakers and staff.
The reports aren't classified -- lawmakers will provide individual reports to their constituents on request -- but, as of this writing, more than a decade into the e-government age, there remains no simple online tool citizens can use to obtain the reports as they are published.
The policy of not distributing CRS reports to the public is a relic of the pre-Internet age. At one point, lawmakers argued that printing and distributing the reports would be too costly, and that responding to public demand would divert CRS from its important work.
Those arguments went out the window when CRS developed an internal Web site that lawmakers use to search and download the latest reports. Simply making that site available to the public would cost next to nothing.
Another, more troubling argument that's been floated as a reason for keeping the reports from the public is that lawmakers may feel somehow constrained in requesting CRS reports if they knew the findings of those reports would be made available to the public, particularly if they feared those findings may contradict their established political positions.
What member of Congress wants the public to see that expert advisors warned against an approach to a problem when the member ignored the advice?

With 1,000 Dead in Gaza, Rightbloggers Claim Obama's Peace Process Threatens Israel
Another week of horrible violence in Israel and Gaza has passed, and the world waits for a solution. Obama and Secretary of State John Kerry are working on it -- which rightbloggers consider an outrage. For one thing, diplomacy just isn't butch enough for them; isn't the solution in every case just to obliterate one's enemy and then enjoy the resulting millennia of peace?
For another, while diplomacy by Presidents with names like "Bush" and "Reagan" may be excused as minor infractions, diplomacy by Presidents named "Obama" is always part of a wider effort to destroy America, and that's what rightbloggers affect to believe the current Administration's turn at the well-worn Israel-Palestine peace table is all about.
The endless conflict between Israel and the residents of the Gaza Strip (also called Palestinians, though hard-liners argue that no such thing exists) got horribly worse about a month ago when three Israeli teenage hitchhikers were murdered in the West Bank and Israel, blaming Hamas, the elected ruling party of Gaza -- notwithstanding that Hamas denied responsibility for the deaths -- began bombing the shit out of them.
Hamas has fought back, but they are militarily extremely overmatched, so the death and devastation on their end has been high -- and high-profile: Enabled by social media, images of the damage -- particular at civilian sites such as hospitals and schools -- have spread rapidly, and though Israel is engaged on those platforms as well, it appears the reportage has inflamed world opinion against Israel, leading to large protests in several major cities, including Tel Aviv.
At this writing, international pressure has effected a cease-fire, but no one expects it to last.(UPDATE: That was quick.)
Even among supporters of Israel, the spectacle has been dispiriting -- but not for rightbloggers, who seem not to go for any of that human-cost bullshit and have instead been busily seeking ways to exploit the conflict for domestic political advantage.
Sure they voted with Israel, but that "no" vote isn't red enough! (Via.)
True, some seem just to really, really want to kill Palestinians, regardless of partisan effect. At the Wall Street Journal, Thane Rosenbaum began his essay, "Let's state the obvious: No one likes to see dead children. Well, that's not completely true: Hamas does. They would prefer those children to be Jewish, but there is greater value to them if they are Palestinian." Believe it or not, it got worse from there.
Rosenbaum then spread his indictment to all the citizens of Gaza, and argued Israel had the right, Geneva Conventions be damned, to kill civilians: "All the ordinary rules of warfare are upended in Gaza... Hamas wears no uniforms and they don't meet Israeli soldiers on battlefields. With the exception of kaffiyeh scarves, it isn't possible to distinguish a Hamas militant from a noncombatant pharmacist... Under such maddening circumstances, are the adults, in a legal and moral sense, actual civilians? To qualify as a civilian one has to do more than simply look the part. How you came to find yourself in such a vulnerable state matters... On some basic level, you forfeit your right to be called civilians when you freely elect members of a terrorist organization as statesmen..."
We don't have a joke here that God hasn't already played on humanity.
Most rightbloggers, however, are only really thirsty for the blood of Democrats, and as the President and his Secretary of State have been trying, as has every U.S. Administration for decades, to limit bloodshed between Israel and her enemies through diplomacy, the brethren have hustled to portray this effort as an unprecedented abandonment and/or assault on Israel.
This may seem ridiculous to you, as the present Administration continues to shovel money to Israel (including direct assistance for the Iron Dome that protects it from Gaza rockets), the President continues to announce U.S support for Israel -- even in the middle of a Muslim-American dinner at the White House! -- and the Administration's representative to the U.N. Human Rights Council cast the lone vote against investigating Israel for war crimes; but rightbloggers are not constrained by such mundane realities.
" No one has ever accused Kerry of being the brightest bulb in the room, and this pretty much confirms everyone's previous opinion of him," snarled Rick Moran at PJ Media. "...It makes you wonder which side Kerry is on." "There is something dangerously incompetent about Kerry... By not only saving, but empowering Hamas, Kerry's delusion is dangerous," dudgeoned William Jacobson at Legal Insurrection.
"Exclusive: See How Obama Could Be Secretly Funding Hamas," headlined L. Todd Wood at Western Journalism. (The U.S. has been funding Palestinians since the 1990s, but as a "foreign terrorist organization" Hamas is not eligible for funds.) Those who read past the headline would find Wood meant Qatar, a U.S. ally and aid recipient, might be giving money to Hamas, but how many do you figure read that far?
"Will some of the weapons that Qatar bought from American industry find its way into the hands of terrorists from Hamas?" speculated Wood. "...Could Qatar be financing the extensive tunnel networks that Israel has discovered leading to children's schools and the like inside Israel? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered." Indeed, especially as Wood offered no evidence of the funding better than this: Qatar "has good relations with the United States," Wood admitted, "but I wouldn't turn my back on them in a gunfight, especially if we are fighting terrorists supported by Qatar. Is the Obama administration aware of the Qatari funding of Hamas?... The American public deserves to know the answer to these questions." Then again, maybe it was all a misunderstanding, like Reagan trading arms to Iran. Questions remain!
"The Obama administration, in its mulish appeasement of the Muslim Brotherhood-Sunni supremacist axis that even Islamic governments (indeed, even the Saudis) are shunning," wrote National Review's Andrew C. McCarthy, "is subverting a golden opportunity to achieve decisive victory over Hamas - the necessary precondition if there is ever to be a stable Israeli-Palestinian settlement." We doubt Obama will take his advice, but then McCarthy once worked for the Bush Administration, and they didn't take his advice on Hamas, either.
McCarthy also tried the bit he and his former boss were accustomed to employ in the early days of the Iraq debacle -- convincing Americans the U.S. is also a direct target. "As [Caroline] Glick points out, Hamas is the Muslim Brotherhood, which makes it a big piece of the global jihad," he wrote. "Besides being every bit as much America's enemy as Israel's, Hamas is now not only motivated but more lethally capable than it has ever been," because of what Glick called the "rapid advances" in tunnel-digging, which Palestinians have been using to get out of the West Bank (into which they have been walled up by the Palestinians) and which has allowed some of them to kill Israelis, and because of their "missile technology," which the Wall Street Journal reports has improved to a range of 93 miles; perhaps McCarthy expects Hamas next to burrow under the Atlantic to reach New York, and to improve their rockets' range sixtyfold.
At the Washington Post, Jennifer Rubin has been filling her bile-cup with items like "Israel refuses invitation to commit suicide, snubs the irrelevant Kerry." Why, she asked, was Kerry asking for a truce at all? "One explanation," she offered, "is that he is foolish beyond our wildest imagination, entirely disconnected from reality."
After weighing this proposition, Rubin moved on: "Another possibility," she said, "is that this is yet one more sign of President Obama's antipathy toward Israel." She didn't say what the previous signs of this had been, but if you're a Jennifer Rubin reader you probably don't worry about that, and anyway, Rubin added, "it boils down to Obama's determination to appease bad actors in the cause of a temporary cessation in violence," to Rubin a ridiculous idea when there's a real solution sitting right in front of us, as she explained in a later column:
"...the dividing line between civilian and terrorist has been virtually eliminated by Hamas... The administration might at least comprehend the extent of the problem before mouthing off about the need for Israel to exercise 'greater caution' with civilians... If the Israelis can continue to dis-entangle missiles, suicide vests and rockets from the civilian population and to destroy the tunnels, then an end to hostilities can take place." So, invasion, occupation, and pacification -- which should be a snap, right? Just look at the history of the region.
One of the odder casus bellow of the week was the two-day suspension of U.S. air travel to Israel by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA). Given the flying missiles in the region, and the recent fate of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17, this seemed a sensible decision -- except to conservatives, who cried conspiracy.

Paul McCartney Talks Peace in Bethlehem
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
BETHLEHEM, West Bank – Paul McCartney said he's carrying a message of peace for Israel and the Palestinians, rejecting criticism of his planned concert in Tel Aviv.
McCartney toured the West Bank town of Bethlehem, visiting the Church of the Nativity, built over the traditional birthplace of Jesus.
The 66-year-old former Beatle ducked into the fourth-century church through its low, narrow entrance, taking pictures with a small camera. He lit two long, tapered white candles in different parts of the church, saying each time that they were "for peace."
After posing for pictures with fans outside the fortress-like church, McCartney was asked to respond to criticism from some Palestinians that his visit to Israel supports its occupation of the West Bank.
He said his visit Wednesday to the West Bank showed he was not playing favorites.
"I'm here to highlight the situation and to say that what we need is peace in this region, a two-state solution," he said, referring to Israel and a Palestinian state.
"I get criticized everywhere I go, but I don't listen to them," McCartney said. "I'm bringing a message of peace, and I think that's what the region needs."
McCartney arrived Tuesday night ahead of his concert today in Tel Aviv's largest park.

US-born Hispanics see gains in education, income
About 40 percent of young foreign-born Hispanics say they attend church weekly, while roughly one-third of Hispanics in the second- and third-generation and higher say the same. On gay marriage, about 40 percent of young immigrants and second-generation Hispanics say they favored it, compared to 52 percent for Hispanics from the third generation and higher.
Other findings:
-Young Hispanic immigrants are less likely to be unemployed than their U.S.-born counterparts, but they are largely confined to lower-skill occupations such as food preparation and serving, grounds cleaning and maintenance and construction.
-Second-generation Hispanic women are less likely than immigrants to give birth as a teen, but rates are still high: 16 percent for second-generation women ages 18 and 19, compared to 26 percent for immigrants. In all, 26 percent of Hispanic women were mothers by the time they reached age 19. That's compared with 22 percent of blacks, 11 percent of whites and 6 percent of Asians.
-U.S.-born Hispanic youths are generally optimistic about their future. About 78 percent of third-generation young Hispanics and 74 percent of those in the second generation say they will be better off than their parents financially. That's compared to about 66 percent for young Hispanic immigrants.
-Three percent of Hispanic men ages 16 to 25 were in prison in 2008, compared with 7 percent of young black men and 1 percent of young white men. U.S.-born Hispanic young men were more likely than their foreign-born counterparts to be incarcerated - 3 percent vs. 2 percent.
Pew based its findings on 2008-2009 data and interviews with 2,012 Hispanics ages 16 and older by cell phone or landline from Aug. 5 through Sept. 16. The survey's margin of error is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points for all respondents, higher for subgroups.

Delicious Indian cuisine + some middle eastern: Zafran
Located atop a building in a commercial complex (Tech Park One) this rooftop restaurant is a piece of bliss in one of Pune's busy work districts. Enjoy finger-licking good North Indian cuisine as well as some yummy middle eastern appetizers. The views are as lovely as the ambience and food. Makes for a great spot to entertain!
Favorite Dish: Kebabs
Malaka Spice-the best,most...
Malaka Spice- the most authentic south east asian food in Pune. A Pune institution - this place is a must visit. About 15 times larger than how it started, the outdoor relaxed ambience does justice to a meal out in beautiful Koregaon Park. Art for sale, an occasional flea market and a children's table allow for a pleasant experience.
Favorite Dish: Roti canai, Basil tofu and almost all the curries are spectacular!
April Rain: Delicious Food, Great experience
One of the best didning experience in Pune. This new restaurant is a must visit and best addition to Pune food scene. The decor is very soothing and comforting, servic is friendly but teh STAR is the food by Chef Milind Sovani( I was lucky to meet him in person and talk to him about his vast experinec world wide)
The food is simply outtanding, Go for it !!
Favorite Dish: F=Green planet soup of Broccoli, oregano cheese sticks, mushroom caps, chicken satay, butter garlic prawns ae to die for.

Mad House Grill: The best steakhouse in town
Mad House Grill is a restaurant located in the heart of Pune at one of the hottest night-out destinations – Korgaon Park. Mad House Grill selects only the most succulent meat and prepare them in their specialized unique way so that the taste is absorbed right down to the bone!
Their specialties are flame grilled (never deep fried) vegetarian and non-vegetarian delights. They take special pride in their steaks and guarantee that the food will leave your taste buds yearning for more. I love that they want to bring about a relationship where they would love to have you to come, dine, wine and enjoy an unforgettable experience.
In this fast paced world, Mad House offers a return to a simpler, slower and saner way of life. They believe there's just no substitute for a freshly prepared meal! They are passionate about the ingredients they use and really do care about quality and taste. So while the food may take a little longer to prepare, the reality is that the taste is remembered long after the wait has been forgotten.
Favorite Dish: All their Steaks are grilled to perfection and are mouth watering. The Raan is a must try. It's home-style food away from home.

Chor Bizarre: Best at Lavasa and London
Chor Bizarre is the best place to eat at Lavasa. The inspiration for Chor Bazaars are thief markets common in India. If you can't get out to Lavasa you could try the London restaurant. Chor Bizarre is happy to be called "quite eccentric" and it fits.
Favorite Dish: In London Chor Bizarre was voted "Best 10 restaurants" by the Independent. How could it not be even better and much cheaper in Lavasa, India?
Vaishali: Best South Indian in Pune
I started asking the South Indians where is the best South Indian food and Pune and this led me to Vaishali. You can't go wrong at Vaishai, idli, Dosa Musambi juice, anything you order will be the best anywhere.
Sicilia: a visit to Sicilia.
The restaurant is a fine Italian dining place and I'm tempted to add 'the finest' one. Italian cuisine is not new to Pune. I am not going to count pizzas at the fast-food chain style outlets as Italian, these are more American than Italian anyway! There are places like Dario's, Little Italy and La Pizzeria that offer authentic Italian fare but with a rider. They all offer only vegetarian fare and so if you want to eat Sicilian style fish or beef you must make a visit to Sicilia.
Favorite Dish: everything in veggie

Tareef: Great Butter Chicken
Tareef has the best Butter Chicken I have tasted in Pune. Ambiance is superb. It however only has few tables so a bit congested. I visit this place often. Highly recommended!

The Green Villa: Great Mughlai Food
This restaurant is a bit hard to find but once found, you will not regret it. As you enter the hookah (sheesha) lounge, the beautifully done pine-wood, green tiles and comfortable kane furniture bowls you over. I have been frequenting this place with friends for quite some time now. I find it a good place to relax with hookah and refreshments. The Mughlai food and shawarmas are excellent. They have a separate section for families.
Favorite Dish: Bheja Gurda Fry with Reshmi Paratha - I hardly ever like bheja but I have been eating this quite regularly because this preparation style reminds me of a certain place in Colaba, Mumbai. Love it!

Flags: Delicious World Food
Flags was definitely our favourite place for eating non-Indian food that we came across. The place is smart, modern and stylish with a lively and fun atmosphere. The menu is huge and the drinks menu is just as long, perfect if you have been craving a particular drink or are tired of drinking beer. There is also a great mocktails menu. The food was absolutely delicious, as were the drinks, and the staff were very friendly and attentive.
We had a wonderful night celebrating my birthday and the combination of a lovely place, yummy food and great service made it that little bit more special.
Favorite Dish: My favourite dish was the minestrone genovese soup, made of green basil and oregano. It was amazing! The BBQ Caribbean Chicken and Lanb Mousaka were both delicious too.

Olympia: Yummy Kathi Rolls
Vikram Karve
Olympia. The very mention of the word "Olympia" makes every ardent Foodie's mouth water as it immediately brings fond memories of the unique eatery on Colaba Causeway in Mumbai which arguably serves the best Biryani in the world apart from other lip smacking non-vegetarian delights.
But, do you know there is an "Olympia" on East Street opposite Kayani Bakery in Pune which serves perhaps the best Chicken Kathi Rolls outside of Kolkata. Priced at a reasonable forty rupees it is value for money nourishment at its best. The piping hot paratha enriched with a generous and well cooked soft covering of beaten eggs and filled with substantial pieces of succulent spicy chicken – it tastes heavenly as you dip it in the accompanying pudina chutney and pop it on your tongue along with a freshly sliced onion ring. The Chicken Kathi Roll is substantial and you feel truly satiated; unlike the empty feeling you get after having other fast foods like pizzas and burgers.
Earlier this no-nonsense down-to-earth eatery was housed in a charming old-world bungalow at the same location where now stands a modern building with the new looking Olympia on a small part of the ground floor. But the ambience and food is still as before.
Next time you are in Pune Camp don't forget to visit Olympia on East Street and relish its delicious Kathi Roll. And don't forget to pick up some Shrewsbury biscuits from Kayani Bakery opposite on your way home.
Favorite Dish: Chicken Kathi Roll - it's wholesome and delicious.

Purepur Kolhapur: My favorite Kolhapuri Cuisine Restaurant
Purepur Kolhapur is a Spartan no-nonsense eatery in the heart of Pune. There are just three main items on the menu – Mutton Taat (Thali), Chicken Taat, (which cost Rs. 75/- each), and Purepur Special Taat for a princely Rs. 120/- (I am told that the 'Purepur Special' contains everything the place has to offer!).
The Purepur Special Thali comprises the following:
• A large bowl of thick chicken curry with four generous pieces of chicken.
• A plate of appetizingly crisp dark brown pieces of fried mutton liberally garnished with almost burnt deep fried onion strips.
• A Kheema Vati (Katori)
• A vati of Tambda Rassa ( Red Gravy)
• A vati of Pandhara Rassa (White Gravy)
• Kuchumber salad made of onions, ginger, coriander, green chillies and curds
• Lemon pieces
• A fresh piping hot chapatti (You can have bhakri if you want, but today I'm in a mood for a crisp hot crunchy chapatti splattered with pure ghee)
• A bowl of jeera rice garnished with crisp brown fried onion strips and cashew nuts.
I sip the pandhara rassa – it's invigorating. Next I spoon into my eager mouth a generous portion of mutton fry. It's not melt-in-the-mouth stuff (I think it is the inimitable Bolai mutton). I chew slowly and savor the sweetish taste of the fried onions blended with the lively spiciness of the crisply fried mutton. I dip a piece of the piping hot chapatti into the tambda rassa allowing it to soak in, place it on my tongue and chew it to a pulp until it practically swallows itself savouring the flavour till the very end. Exquisite! I lovingly pick up a small piece of chicken from the gravy; delicately place it on my tongue and roll it against my palate. I sample the Kheema Vati – it's totally different from the Kheema I've tasted at Irani and Mughlai eateries. The Kheema has an unusual taste I can't exactly describe – a bit sweet and sour– a counterbalancing contrast, perhaps.
Purepur Kolhapur is worth a visit for the quality and authenticity of its food.
Favorite Dish: Pandhara Rassa - it tastes heavenly, complements the meal, is digestive and cooling.

A 44-year-old Sartell man drowned while boating at a Crow Wing County lake Thursday afternoon.
Gary Thomas Steichen was with a group of people boating on a pontoon on Clearwater Lake. He jumped into the water with some of the people around 1:30 p.m. but didn't resurface, according to the Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office.
Divers found the Steichen's body in about 20 feet of water around 5 p.m., authorities said. He was taken to the Ramsey County Medical Examiner's Office.
Foul play isn't suspected, authorities said.
The sheriff's office was assisted by the Deerwood police and fire departments, the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, Cuyuna Regional Medical Center and the Minnesota State Patrol.

AC Milan defender Thiago Silva is ready for his clash with Inter star Samuel Eto'o in this weekend's derby.
"I have never faced Eto'o, but I have studied how to stop him through various tapes," said the defender ahead of his debut derby.
"I am passionate about football and watch many games on television, so I tracked him many times when he was playing for Barcelona. I know how he moves, but that doesn't mean I'll always be able to anticipate him, though…"
Last season Ronaldinho scored the only goal in this clash and his teammate believes the Brazilian can make the difference again.
"He is in good shape and I'm sure he will have a great game. I think he is already proving that Kaka won't be missed. Obviously replacing Kaka is no easy task, but Ronaldinho is on the right track and I'm convinced he'll continue at this level.
"He made a promise to his teammates that he would carry the squad in hard times and I believe him."

Nigeria 2 Argentina 3: Highlights, key battles and what the result means
Published on Jun 26, 2014 2:50 AM
This was set up to be less about which side would top Group F, than whether the rest of the Argentina side apart from Lionel Messi would finally show up. And there was more on the line, with Porto Alegre just across the border from Argentina and this stadium the closest to a home game that coach Alejandro Sabella's men could get.
They made it a worthwhile trip for the tens of thousands who travelled, beating Nigeria 3-2 with two goals from Messi to finish group winners.
Nigeria also go through to the round of 16, thanks to a brace from Ahmed Musa.
- Another match that started off with quick successive goals, beginning with a cool and collected finish by Messi in the 3rd minute. Started with a run down the left by Angel Di Maria, whose shot hits the post before bouncing off goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama's head. Messi runs in untracked to fire the ball into the top of the net.
- Nigeria respond just 80 seconds later through Ahmed Musa, who cuts past left back Pablo Zabaleta before sending a powerful curler past Argentina keeper Sergio Armero to level the match.
- Argentina find themselves back in front just before the stroke of half-time through a Messi freekick. The little magician had a freekick bound for the top right corner palmed away by Enyeama just minutes earlier, but beats the keeper on his second try at the same spot.
- Nigeria know how to respond quickly. Gets themselves back into the game two minutes after the break through Musa, who comes out of nowhere and fires through a gaping hole down the middle.
- Marcos Rojo benefits from some messy defending during a corner kick, catching team-mate Ezequiel Garay's header with his knee to put his team 3-2 ahead.
Key battles
Ahmed Musa/Emmanuel Omenike v Federico Fernandez/Ezequiel Garay
Argentina's centre backs were more than a few times beaten by the pace and partnership of Nigeria's dynamic duo. Musa's second goal, in particular, was a fine example. He showed how potent his speed can be, and could have scored a hat-trick if not for a timely challenge from Zabaleta.
Man of the match
Vincent Enyeama
Was captured on camera joking with the referee just before the start of the second half that Messi's free kick earlier was just too good for him to catch. Still, Argentina could have found the net numerous more times if not for the Lille keeper's saves.
The Nigerian defence did fairly well to hold off the Argentinian attack as much as they did, but relied heavily on Enyeama's safe pair of hands to palm, parry and push away danger when needed.
Easily one of the busiest players on the pitch, deflecting attempts from not just Messi, but also Di Maria, Higuain and later Lavezzi.
What this result means
Argentina, expectedly, finishes top of Group F and will meet the runners-up of Group E. More likely to be Switzerland, Ecuador or Honduras.
Nigeria also go through as runners-up, and will face Group E winners, most likely to be France depending on the results of the 4am kick off.

Togo coach Henri Stambouli has blasted Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor.
"There is no discipline in our squad," said Frenchman Stambouli. "Just look at our leader, Adebayor.
"He has not spent enough time with us in our team get-togethers, and some of his team-mates have copied him by getting up to various escapades.
"We have a captain who is not fully integrated into the squad. I have had a stern talk with him and I hope things will soon return to normal."

What was Kim Kardashian up to yesterday as her divorce drama was heating up in L.A.? Heating up the beach in a bikini on a glorious Hawaiian island, of course! It's the Kardashian way of dealing with things. The 31-year old tweeted these pictures of herself looking like a 1950s pinup in a throwback swimsuit, complete with island flowers tucked in her locks. "Me Ke Aloha," she captioned one, which we think is Hawaiian for, "This is way better than looking over affidavits."
Despite rumors that wedding bells are in the air, Kim insists that she isn't fast-tracking her divorce from Kris Humphries so she can marry boyfriend Kanye West. Friends told TMZ that Kim feels Kris has become "a cancer" on her life, and she wants to be rid of him for good. These sources quote Kim as saying that "Kris is the first person I ever had to break-up with and that f—ed with my emotions."
She also alleges that he made threats as their marriage started to hit the fan. "He told our producers he would destroy my career and me if the show wasn't edited right." Kim claims that she has outtakes from Keeping Up With the Kardashians which illustrate Kris as a "manipulative, vindictive, petty, fame-hungry jerk," but the whole experience is reportedly leaving her "emotionally exhausted." So maybe a Hawaiian getaway is just what the court ordered.

TMD Dealer Solutions Announces Their First Office Action Regarding Their Mobile App. Patent for Dealerships
TMD Dealer Solutions, LLC, the leader in Smartphone technology for automotive dealerships and innovative interactive marketing for car dealers, announced today that it has received its first Office Action from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for their Patent Filed in 2011 for a new, breakthrough technology; the first service oriented mobile app for dealerships, The Mobile Dipstick.
Tampa, Florida (PRWEB) March 23, 2013
The patent application pertains to advanced technologies that enables dealerships to communicate with consumers at key, relevant moments in the lifecycle of their vehicle, as well as the processes used, text and push technologies, service scheduling, customer and dealer modules, and customer surveys. The Patent application also addresses their scientific approach for keeping consumers informed regardless of the platform they choose. While primarily focused on increasing service revenue and customer retention through proprietary means, it also addresses methods to facilitate communications between car dealers and mobile app users; for instance, notifying customers in seconds that service on their car has been completed and how much they owe by text. Due to a unique dealer interface, the advisor need only put in the RO amount and hit Send.
Launched in 2010, TMD Dealer Solutions has been generating significant results for its dealerships. While thousands of consumers have downloaded the dealer-branded smartphone apps, their top performing dealership, Kuhn Honda-Volkswagen claims the app increased their service revenue over 10.6% and customer retention by more than 5% just last year. According to NADA, service revenue fell by -.7% during the same time period. The Total Revenue attributed to TMD´s app by Kuhn Automotive, was over $2.1 million in 2012, according to a case study by KMW, LLC.
"TMD has always put the dealers´ customers first by focusing on what motivates and drives consumers back into our dealerships. We are thrilled that TMD´s patent-pending technology is helping our dealers to give their customers what they want — time, savings, and convenience," said Wallace Westall, National Director of Sales for TMD Dealer Solutions and their Affiliates. "The apps´ simplicity, speed, and proprietary tools are driving dealers to record profits and happier customers. We provide what the consumers want, not flashlights and parking meter timers. One of our innovations lets customers set a service appointment on their phone with only three-clicks in just seconds."
Mr. Westall stated that "the newest smartphone surveys show that over 50% of all Americans currently own a smartphone, as do nearly 70% of all Americans between the ages of 18-29, and 70% of all Americans making over $75,000. By the end of next year, over 90% of all Americans will be carrying smartphones. According to surveys, nearly 98% of texts are read within 60 minutes and NEVER end up in a spam folder. This is what makes a dealer-branded smartphone app for your dealership, a critical component of your marketing strategy."
ABOUT TMD DEALER SOLUTIONS: Founded in 2011 and Based in Tampa Florida, TMD is the leading provider of integrated dealer-branded smartphone apps in the automotive service industry. Recognizing the smartphone´s changing role in people´s lives and understanding the capabilities of Apps in the market today, TMD realized the technology shift early on. TMD pioneered utilizing smartphones to increase Service Revenue and increase Customer Satisfaction while showing Real-Time ROI in Fixed Ops. With a smartphone app your customers no longer need to wait until they get to the office or home computer before responding to customized interactive service reminders and campaigns. The direct result of this is more appointments, more ROs, more completed surveys, and a significant increase in sales and service profits. Their apps are designed by car guys for car guys.
