Jules Verne Inspires ISS Crew
The Expedition 17 crew have recently been treated to some new reading material on board the International Space Station. Amongst the cargo to arrive at the Station with Jules Verne ATV last April was an original 19th century luxury edition of Jules Verne's book 'De la Terre à la Lune' and two of his handwritten manuscripts.
Video message
The crew recently retrieved the book and manuscripts from the Automated Transfer Vehicle's cargo hold. Expedition 17 Commander Sergei Volkov recorded a video message to mark the occasion which was played following yesterday's ISS Heads of Agencies meeting in Paris, France.
The manuscripts, which are on loan from the Amiens Metropole Library, are part of a collection devoted to French author and science fiction pioneer Jules Verne, for which Europe's first Automated Transfer Vehicle is named.
In one of the handwritten documents dating from between 1890 and 1899, Jules Verne explores several distances in astronomy, indicating how long it would take to cover each distance by foot, by train and at the speed of light. The second manuscript, thought to date from 1876, is a celestial chart, showing the constellations Aquila, Orion, Pegasus and Virgo.
Reach to the stars
Addressing the ISS Heads of Agencies during a live audio link with the Space Station crew, NASA astronaut and Expedition 17 Flight Engineer Gregory Chamitoff reflected on how Jules Verne's stories have inspired generations of dreamers to reach to the stars.
"It is very much an honor and a privilege to be working on the Space Station at a time when a vehicle called Jules Verne is docked," said Chamitoff. "It has proven that the European partners have achieved a high level of technology and, along with Columbus, it gives Europeans a permanent foothold in space for long duration science and exploration."
ESA Director General Jean-Jacques Dordain thanked the ISS crew for taking time out from their duties to participate in the call. Reflecting on the Jules Verne theme of the event, Dordain added, "It was not only a link between Paris and the Space Station; it was also a link between the past and the future, and I would say also a link between dreams and reality."
Dordain closed the event by announcing plans to undock Jules Verne ATV in the period between 5-22 September; with the destructive re-entry into Earth's atmosphere and the end of Jules Verne ATV's mission scheduled for 29 September 2008.

City budget approval deadline approaching
CORPUS CHRISTI - The city's budget-balancing struggles must be resolved as the City Council faces an approaching deadline to pass the budget.
The council is expected to vote during Tuesday's meeting to raise utility rates and employee health care premiums and approve the first reading of the budget, a step toward formally adopting it. The budget is scheduled to be adopted in full by July 20. It must be approved by the end of this month and takes effect Aug. 1.
But some council members aren't happy with some cuts proposed by city staff.
"It's a balancing act and it's very, very difficult," Councilwoman Chris Adler said.
Not all arts groups that received funding last year will get their subsidy payments this year, under the most recent version of the city budget.
The council directed budget staff to fund the Art Museum of South Texas and the South Texas Botanical Gardens. Other arts groups that received funding last year won't get money unless the council intervenes.
The Asian Cultures Museum, the Instituto de Cultura Hispanica, the Center for Hispanic Arts, the Corpus Christi Symphony and the Jazz Festival historically have received payments from the city.
Several council members said they wanted to find a way to avoid increasing health care premiums for city employees and retirees.
Councilman John Marez said he hoped the city changes its insurance plans to prevent the hike. Marez said city employees should be protected from insurance cost increases like those that have hit the private sector because they are paid less.
"We haven't made a salary increase for city employees," he said. "They're going to feel that hit. Retirees are really going to feel that hit."
Employees' insurance costs could increase between 7 and 45 percent, depending on their plans.
Assistant City Manager Oscar Martinez said increasing health insurance premiums is unavoidable.
"It would dramatically affect the medical coverage they would receive," he said. "I'm not quite sure we could cut coverage."
Several supporters of the Sister City program, which sends students abroad, asked the council to restore its $18,000 in funding at the last council meeting. The program historically has been an area that staff has recommended eliminating from the budget and the council has supported.
The proposed $668 million budget will increase the tax rate from 56.3 cents for every $100 of appraised property to 58.2 cents. That rate would generate the same amount of revenue the city received last year, a taxing level known as the effective tax rate.
Councilman Brent Chesney has said he wants to keep the tax rate at its current level, which would require $1.6 million in cuts.
Councilwoman Nelda Martinez said she wouldn't support that.
"We need to make some very difficult decisions and do the right thing," she said. "I think it's critical that we support the effective tax rate."
The council hasn't voted on which tax rate to use.
"Anything could happen," Oscar Martinez said. "We still have a lot to discuss."

This week, iHub Research focuses on Uganda as part of the ongoing study into Mobile Technology in Africa.
While Uganda's teledensity may not be as impressive as Kenya's, at 41% it is still significant and growing.
Despite the fact that there are five Mobile Network Operators in Uganda, MTN dominates the market with a lion's share of 60% market share commanding almost a monopoly in services such as Mobile Money where they boast of over 1 million registered users and a network of 1500 agents. It is interesting that mobile money in Uganda,according to a recent study, is more popular with the banked, contrary to popular belief that it should attract more of the unbanked.
According to the Uganda Communications Commission, it is estimated that 40% of mobile subscribers own more than one sim card and this could mean that there are fewer unique mobile subscribers than the stated figure of 12,828,264 mobile subscribers.
As is the trend in the rest of Africa, the Symbian Operating system is by far the most used mobile OS by 60.27% of mobile users in Uganda.
Despite the recent Mobile Network Operator price wars, average on-net(within the network) calling tariffs are still high at UGX 180/= or, equivalently in KES, 6/=.
Uganda has one the lowest internet penetration rates in the world. However, the government has completed two phases of laying fibre optic cables and all Uganda government and parastatal offices are set to be connected via this fibre cable. The fibre optic framework set also presents Uganda with new opportunities to players in the industry such as call centres and other Business Process Outsourcing (BPOs) Service Providers to grow their business in Uganda in the coming years.

We've been waiting for the fourth generation Apple TV for quite sometime now. Initially we thought it would be announced in the iPad event in October, 2013. Later it was speculated that Apple will hold a separate event for the next Apple TV in November. And after the acquisition of PrimeSense, it was deemed that Apple will come up with gesture-recognizing control system for the same. Now, iLounge has learned something exciting and believable from their reliable source. Wait for it.. the next Apple TV will support native gaming!
Native gaming on Apple TV could soon become a reality as a new Apple TV with its own App Store is on the way, sources say
Apple TV sure has alot of apps/channels but unfortunately a web-browser isn't one of them. And with good reason too. Ever tried to use the browsers in so called Smart-TVs? Well I have and can assure that using the remote as a pointer for surfing is annoying and is "injurious" to your forearm. Well, now thanks to AirWeb, anyone having an AirPlay Mirroring-enabled iOS device will be able to browse smoothly on their 40-incher.
Seas0nPass, the popular Apple TV jailbreak tool, has been recently updated by FireCore and now allows for an untethered jailbreak of Apple TV 5.3 (Apple TV 2 only). Released in June last year, Apple TV software version 5.3 added HBO GO, WatchESPN, Sky News, Crunchyroll and Qello to our little black boxes.
So you didn't update your Apple TV 2 firmware to version 6.0 (iOS 7) when it came in September, hoping for a jailbreak for 5.3 software (iOS 6.1.4 – 10B809) to come sooner or later? The wait is finally over as an updated version of FireCore's Seas0nPass now allows for an untethered jailbreak of Apple TV 5.3 (Apple TV 2 only).
Apple is adding more and more content to the Apple TV: starting today, Apple TV users in the UK can access NOW TV's Sky Sports. For £9.99, the Sky Sports Day Pass gives users instant access on their TV to all six Sky Sports channels. The pass activates immediately upon purchase and is billed directly to the iTunes account.
Apple has yet again added new content to already quite long list of channels available on the Apple TV. Among the newcomers is Bloomberg, Sony's Crackle service, Watch ABC and Korean channel KORTV.

Third Lawsuit Filed in Salmonella Pine Nuts Outbreak
Salmonella attorneys at Marler Clark have filed a lawsuit on behalf of a woman and her daughter who were made ill in a Salmonella outbreak linked to pine nuts.
Rochester, NY (PRWEB) November 29, 2011
Marler Clark, the nationâs leading law firm dedicated to representing victims of foodborne illness, in conjunction with Rochester-based law firm Underberg and Kessler, has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a Rochester mother and daughter who were made ill with Salmonella after eating pine nuts. This is the third lawsuit the firms have brought against New Jersey-based Turkish pine nut importer Sunrise Commodities [1].
The complaint (#11CV6581T), filed in New York Federal District Court in Rochester, alleges that on October 18, 2011 Melissa Catalino and her six-year-old daughter consumed pine nuts that were purchased from a local Wegmans Food Mart. By October 21, the child had developed gastrointestinal symptoms that intensified for several days until she required emergency medical care. Ms. Catalino also developed severe symptoms of Salmonella infection and missed several days of work. Both mother and daughter are still recovering from their illnesses. The complaint further states that health officials have notified the family that both illnesses have been linked to a 43-person Salmonella outbreak tied to Turkish pine nuts.
âœWhen you sell a food product, customer safety must be the top priority,â said Marler Clark Salmonella attorney and food safety expert William Marler. âœFood manufacturers and distributers have an obligation to ensure their products are free of harmful pathogens â" no exceptions.â
On November 9, 2011 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that at least 43 Salmonella Enteritidis illnesses were linked to the consumption of Turkish pine nuts sold at Wegmans Food Marts. The FDA later announced that the pine nuts were imported and distributed by New Jersey-based Sunrise Commodities. Upon testing, the FDA confirmed Salmonella Enteritidis to be on samples of Sunrise Commoditiesâ pine nuts.
âœWeâd like to see our clients compensated fully and fairly for medical bills as well as any other costs associated with their Salmonella illnesses,â said Underberg and Kessler attorney Paul Nunes. âœThe bottom line is these outbreaks can be avoided.â
MARLER CLARK is the nationâs foremost law firm dedicated solely to working for victims of foodborne illness and food poisoning. The firmâs Salmonella attorneys have unparalleled experience and have recovered over 600 million dollars for thousands of clients since 1993. The Marler Clark attorneys are considered food safety experts and take great pride in the knowledge that their work in the past two decades has helped to change food safety policy in this country and around the world. For more information, or if you are a member of the media and would like a copy of the complaint, contact Cody Moore at cmoore(at)marlerclark(dot)com or 206-407-2200.

"I left Claude, the French rat."
This opening salvo in the verbal barrage that is Iris Owens's sublime 1973 snarkfest After Claude is as good a first sentence as American fiction of the '70s offers, right up there with "Fame requires every excess" (Great Jones Street) and "Nobody knows, from sea to shining sea, why we are having all this trouble with our republic" (Ninety-two in the Shade). Mincing no words, Harriet, the laceratingly funny and thoroughly deluded antiheroine, launches her daisy-cutter diatribe with perfect economy. And, as she does throughout the book, she gets things exactly wrong. For in reality it is Harriet, a sexpot layabout and serial houseguest, who has been given the heave-ho by Claude, a reporter for French television, from his West Village apartment. She has long ridiculed his video dispatches to the mother country, but the last straw for the exasperated Claude is Harriet's loudly expressed disdain for the film they've just seen in that now sadly extinct Upper West Side temple to the cinema, the New Yorker—a film that, though never named, is transparently Pasolini's exercise in New Testament neorealism, The Gospel According to Saint Matthew. "Some skinny guy schlepping a hunk of wood that weighs a ton up a steep hill for the express purpose of getting nailed to it, that was beautiful?" So exit Harriet, but not before she mounts a determined guerrilla campaign to remain in Claude's Morton Street floor-through, if not his good graces.
With its eye for the offbeat and the unjustly neglected, New York Review Books has added Owens's harrowing comic masterpiece to its ever-expanding shadow canon. Much like the protagonists of the above-mentioned DeLillo and McGuane novels, Harriet is someone in retreat from the squalor of American life, except that far from negotiating a separate peace, she regards conversation as war by other means. With unflagging energy and spite she rails against the indignity of life in New York in the Fun City era, displaying a penchant for politically incorrect proclamations ("that brain-damaged segment of the population called women") that would make an editor of the Dartmouth Review blush. Her acute perceptions of "this freak show called life," while unburdened by either self-knowledge or an awareness of her maddening effect on her interlocutors, are endlessly quotable. At one point, she muses, "There are times when I'd rather converse with a crazed mugger than reason with myself." Twitting Claude yet again for his cinematic enthusiasms, this time Woman in the Dunes, she avers, "You couldn't torture enough Japs for his refined tastes." Zinger follows zinger like a perfectly timed stand-up routine.
After Claude was published to great acclaim by such figures as Leonard Michaels the year I got out of college, and its witty spleen and disenchantment won me over completely. At the time, I enlisted Harriet in the dyspeptic company of such figures as Simon Gray's Ben Butley and Philip Roth's Alexander Portnoy—high-octane minds at the ends of their tethers. But in my latest rereading, Owens's creation reminded me of no less than the similarly pan-offensive Joan Rivers—if the Barnard graduate formerly known as Joan Molinksy had headed to Paris after graduation rather than to the comedy clubs.
Thus I was delighted to learn that Owens, née Kline, was herself a Barnard graduate who at age twenty, in the classic fashion of literary aspirants of the '50s, in fact did go to Paris. There, her funds running short, she was recruited by her lover, the proto-Beat novelist Alexander Trocchi, into the community of impecunious scribblers producing arty erotica for Maurice Girodias, the lit-porn maestro who ran Olympia Press. Under the nom de plume of Harriet Daimler she became what John de St. Jorre in Venus Bound terms "the lead mare in the Olympia stable, racking up four of her erotic books" and one cowritten title in the famed Traveller's Companion series, collector's items all, heavy on sadomasochistic games and rape fantasies in the prescribed European mode. The experiments in kink were not confined to the page, either; the DB (Dirty Book) writers formed their own little avant-garde tribe, and by Owens's own testimony, "We were all sexual obsessives of one sort or another." Even in that louche circle she cut a striking figure; no less an authority than Terry Southern, coauthor of the most famous Olympia Press DB, Candy, wrote, "Aside from her Junoesque beauty, [she had] a rapier wit and devastating logic. She was a pre-Sontag Sontag."
In fact, Owens caught the eye of the real Susan Sontag in Paris in 1957; ever alert to the competition in the room, she jotted down this wary once-over in her notebook: "from New York, age 28 . . . heavy black eye makeup (some carbon mixture)—once married . . . brightest girl of her class at Barnard." (Did Sontag check Owens's transcript?) A few years later, back in New York, the young critic Stephen Koch would meet Owens at a party at Sontag's apartment and fall under her witchy spell. They became fast friends but not lovers. Koch recently described her to me as "very, very absorbing—a powerful talker, until four in the morning if necessary to keep her listeners in thrall," and a man magnet whose admirers ran from Samuel Beckett to Paul Desmond. He believed that her father was a professional horseplayer who moved the family from apartment to apartment throughout her nomadic childhood; in later years, Owens sometimes lived off her poker winnings from games with the likes of Woody Allen.
As Harriet Daimler she was alarmingly prolific; as Iris Owens she was a dry well. Koch cited to me her "capacity for procrastination, indolence, and inaction beyond anything I've ever seen in someone so gifted." One day he seized on a few battered manuscript pages and lasered in on the sentence that opens this review, saying, "Here, this is a good start." Over the next five years, he became Owens's cheerleader, therapist, enabler, and typist as After Claude slouched toward completion. Sold to FSG's Henry Robbins, famed editor of Tom Wolfe and Joan Didion, the book enjoyed the sort of critical hosannas that almost any novelist would have died for. Not Owens—she contracted a virulent dislike for her publisher Roger Straus and complained to an interviewer, "I was very involved in being an elegant failure." Like her great alter ego, Owens was by all accounts an impossible yet compelling person.
In the years following After Claude, Owens was occasionally associated with such sex-positive feminist writers as Erica Jong and Alix Kates Shulman. This puts her and the novel in just the wrong company. For what lofts the book well above an amusing exercise in mad housewifery or late-stage black humor is its disturbing ending, the polar opposite of I-am-woman affirmation. After she's eventually dislodged from chez Claude, Harriet's next stop is the Chelsea Hotel, where she falls under the influence of a counterculture Machiavelli and human-potential creep by the name of Roger—a prototype of the Jim Jones figures to come later in the decade. He immediately senses the willing victim behind the facade of mouthy wisecracks, purring, "Under all that shame and hostility and lying and aggression is a lovely, vulnerable girl." Finally, a man who understands! At his instigation, Harriet concludes her long day's journey with an act of self-pleasuring in which all her self-loathing and need to be controlled rush to the surface. Drawing on her mastery of sexual power games honed in the porn years, Owens finally gives us a searing portrait of one woman's damaged psyche—and in the process a diagnosis of a psychodynamic of personal surrender soon to be observed in the wider world.
A more calculating writer could have parlayed the success of After Claude into a career as a literary flaneur of the Fran Lebowitz variety. (In fact, they met once, and it was, predictably, a disaster.) Instead, the silence once again descended, broken only by Hope Diamond Refuses in 1984, an amusing screwball comedy lacking in edge and heft. Her cult dwindled to a coterie and then to isolated enthusiasts like me; I tried to bring After Claude back into print in the late '80s, only to be told that our advance offer was "too too depressing." OK then. What Owens lived on we can only speculate, but she died in 2008 without the dignity of a New York Times obit, which she really deserved. What is left to us is this foulmouthed comic tour de force, still capable of offending the offendable and casting a blue-streaked spell of hilarity over everyone else. While such figures as Mary Gaitskill and Daphne Merkin have bravely taken up the cause of female abasement, there is no one you can name who is anything like this dame.

Gaudi is awesome. We drove by casa battlo but got out at la basilica de la sagrada familia and parque guell. La sagrada familia was amazing. I have never seen anything like it. There was something interesting everywhere you look on the outside of that thing, you can take many pictures and be interested later in each one you see and know that you missed more things just by not taking more pictures. Be sure to get close ups of the scenes on the outside. You will find them interesting later when you have more time to study them. Parque guell was very beautiful. We liked it there. Finally, those weirdies in Barcelona had been having some riots the day before we arrived. It was sad seeing so many businesses burned out or with shattered glass.

All India Congress Committee (AICC) general secretary in-charge of party affairs in Assam Digvijay Singh on Saturday ruled out any leadership change in the State. He said Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi would complete his full term. Any reshuffle in the Ministry was the prerogative of the Chief Minister and the AICC would not interfere in it.
Mr. Singh was talking to journalists in the presence of Mr .Gogoi and PCC president Bhubaneswar Kalita at Rajiv Bhawan after a joint meeting of the Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) and Congress Legislature Party (CLP).
On Friday, 31 Congress legislators met him on Friday and reportedly demanded a leadership change.
Mr. Singh held a series of meetings with Ministers and Congress legislators, besides holding discussions with Mr. Gogoi and Mr. Kalita to find ways to patch up differences.
"Redress grievances"
He said the party has requested Mr. Gogoi to open a cell in his office to redress the grievances of legislators and to monitor the progress of various schemes and programmes in different constituencies.
Mr. Singh reiterated that the party would contest the next Lok Sabha polls in the State under the leadership of the PCC president and the Chief Minister. He said any act of indiscipline by anyone would be dealt with firmly. Strict warnings had been issued to all concerned.

Squatters take over road
Squatters take over road
Seven years ago, the informal settlers occupying private lots in Garville Subdivision, Sun Valley, Parañaque City, were ejected by landowners. However, they merely built new houses on the cul-de-sac portion of a nearby road still inside the subdivision. As a result, offices and factories in the area that were deprived of access abandoned their businesses one after the other. Today, all of the 10 factories and offices in the area have closed shop. The problem has been brought to the attention of Mayor Florencio Bernabe Jr. although no action has been taken. The same is true of barangay chairman Danilo Santos. Please help us, the presence of informal settlers has resulted in the loss of revenues for the city government. Even worse, the neighborhood has deteriorated.—Lebie Panganiban, Edison Industrial and Commercial Association general manager, Garville Subdivision
