As I understand, going from stock to ITG, we need to change:
1) floats from 3mm to 4mm (is that leaner?)
2) Lift needles from 2nd to 3rd
3) Up mains to whatever (170 to 180), depending on elevation and exhaust.
Are the FP needles a must?
FP needles are not a must...though I really like them.
I would first determine what sort of riding I'm planning on doing and where, how high. Different sorts of riding call for different sorts of jetting. I'm touring and crossing all levels of elevation so I have a rather conservative setup that's somewhat lean at sea level but can work very high up too, though it begins to get a tad rich. It returns excellent mileage and also provides lots of hp.
Within a specific elevation range, one may better setup for either power or economy. I've had mine setup with the 45 pilots and it had far more willingness to loft the front wheel. Mileage wasn't as good and when I climbed up into the mountains, it would bog down far too rich.
Fwiw, the most important thing I have gleaned from messing with these carbs is that the float needs to be set leaner than the factories 3mm. This is an absolute critical adjustment, and a rather fiddly one to get correct. The float height baselines the entire carb. I set it to 4mm regardless of what sort of jetting setup I'm after.
The next consideration is which pilot jet. 42 or 45. 45= more HP at lower elevations, slightly less mpg and a bit less friendly at high elevations. 42 is weaker though more flexible.
I consider mains next. What runs out at wfo with the float and slows set. This isn't the typical order of jetting a carb such as this but I find it works. With this filter, we expect to be in a range between 172 and 182, depending on elevation and pipe.
Needle position is entirely about transitioning from the slow circuit to the mains. What works well on one bike may not on the next. If the bike feels a bit lazy spooling up through 4000 rpms, then it may benefit from a higher needle. If it bogs down when you twist the throttle at transition, it may be too high. Typically its at 2 or 3 with these bikes. Note though, that there is a fair amount of bleed through while the needle is closed and this affects the low circuit a bit. Raising the needle typically results in enriching the bottom so it sometimes is necessary to compensate with the fuel screws.
I baseline the screws at 2 turns out with 42 pilots, and 1.5 turns with 45 pilots. Fine adjust from there. Without Satan's airbox out of the way, they can be accessed with the right tank off...which makes adjustment far easier. I will turn up idle to 2000+ rpm and pull the rear plug wire...turning the bike into a thumper.
. Then adjust the screw at roughly 2000 until it runs best. Count the turns out and transfer to the rear carb.
This is the way I approach it, and I'm no means a master of Keihen's domain. Jetting varies so much between riders and places that its fairly tough to nail down a prescribed setup. Endeavor to get it close...

Gary Kirsten arrived for the media interaction to the Cricket Centre in the BCCI blazer and tie, said good things about India calling it an "amazing land'', Indian cricket and Indian cricketers and declared that Mahendra Singh Dhoni is the world's best captain. Delighted at having been a part of India's successful World Cup campaign he said it would remain his top achievement in his career.
"I'm honoured by the way I was treated, though I was a foreigner. So were Paddy Upton and Eric Simons. It was incredible to see how the Indians love their cricket and players and that certainly helped being amongst them. I was with them shoulder to shoulder. It's a beautiful country and I have been to many parts of India. I went to Gulmarg for skiing. I would be coming to India many times. India has major tours to West Indies, England and Australia and the endeavour should be to maintain the No 1 ranking in Test cricket. There are many milestones awaiting Indian cricket. There are IPL options open for me next year. I don't know what I would be doing next April,'' he said.
You were a Test and one-day cricketer for South Africa and played the World Cup. You have finished as the coach of the Indian team. Where would you place the Indian team's World Cup win as a cricketer and coach ?
Right at the top of the cart. As a player I would have loved to win the World Cup which never happened. I guess the second best is to do this as a coach. It's been an amazing achievement. It's been wonderful to have been part of this win with a special group of cricketers.
Three years is too short time to have created a vacuum, but it appears that the players are going to feel it. So what's made you so special to this Indian team ? Is it because of skills, man-management or strategy. They say cricketers need not necessarily be good coaches, but you have proved it otherwise to this Indian team ?
I have looked at coaching in a holistic manner which means that I don't look at components of what a coach should do. The technical aspect at international level is probably ten percent of the work. Man-management is the most important thing. At the end of the day what matters is the options that can be provided to a cricketer to cross the ropes in the best way he can. You need to tell the player that how he should play is not necessarily the right thing to do, because at the end of the day he needs to take on the responsibility when he crosses the ropes. For me it's really understanding the individuals, getting the best out of them, working with them with their own techniques, not to change them and helping them to enhance their skills that's most appropriate for that player.
The one thing that stands out for me with this team is the way we created an environment for the team to be happy and feel and work as a team. We set out this three years ago with the help of Paddy Upton. This team felt they were not representing as individuals, but as team India. Sachin has been a leader in this environment. He's a player who is so revered in this country. He stood up and said that ``the greatest achievements that we have had and are going to have, is going to be because we love playing for team India, not for ourselves.''
Tell us something about the hundreds and thousands of throw-downs to the batsmen. ?
In any sport where you are dependent on repetitive skills, you need to keep training that skill. You can take a sport like golf and tennis; the golfers and tennis players go through skills for five hours a day. There's no reason why one cannot do it in cricket. I take pride in my work in the nets. I love working one-on-one with the players. Effectively I am the batting coach. I don't enjoy sitting in the back of the nets and telling people what to do. I believe in putting the physical work as well.
You took over as coach not long after you retired. Did that help you in your assignment with the Indian team and understand the modern players' requirements?
It was an interesting job straightaway. I use reference points of a player to understand how I am going to work with a group of individuals. I had played some cricket with some of them and gained their respect. What was important for me and Paddy Upton to start afresh was bonding the relationship with each individual, creating trust in the environment and get the best out of them. They knew that we were not here for any personal glory; it's to become one of the best teams in the world.
Your immediate goals as a coach ?
I am going home to spend time with my family. At some stage I have to consider my future. I am very fortunate to receive a few IPL offers. I have turned them all down with a specific reason of wanting to have a good time after the Indian job and spend time with the family I have missed tremendously over the last three years.
Q. What's there to be done further to improve this Indian side?
They are the No.1 Test playing nation and they have won the World Cup. Each and every player wants to get better. The one thing that I thought really happened well in the knock-out matches of the World Cup was the way India fielded. That's one area of the game ---- the ground fielding --- India has gone up. I was surprised and amazed the way they fielded in the quarters, semis and final.
Q. What was happening to you when the Indian and South African national anthems was played at Nagpur?
It's a matter of mixed emotions. South Africa is my country and I was very sad that they did not do well in the World Cup. I was very pleased for us that they were knocked out of the tournament. They were a good team. South Africa is my home, but my heart was 100 per cent with the Indian team. It was my job and I certainly wanted the Indian team to be winning games including against South Africa. It was a very emotional moment when we played the third Test at Cape Town which is my home town. I had played cricket there for 18 years. I was really hoping that we could win that Test match. We were bowling and batting well and I have that memory as well.
What could be the challenges for the new coach ?
It's going to be tough for the new coach in terms of the standards that has been set by the team. There's no reason why this team should not continue with success. The foundation has been set and there are some good young players coming through. Probably an important thing for a new coach is to bring freshness of ideas and do it in a way that the Indian players are going to respond. If he thinks that's the right thing to do, he can spend some time with me and share some ideas on the way we set things up in the last three years. I certainly would not want the new guy to try and emulate what we did in three years. He could be a different person with different ideas. I am sure the right person will be selected that will allow the team to continue the run of success. Consistency for this team is going to be very important in order to remain at the top of world cricket. I think the platform has been well set.
How does one bring back Ishant Sharma and is Virat Kohli ready for Test cricket ?
Virat is ready for Test cricket. He is a bright young star. He's taken the responsibility of playing these big games really well. He holds a very important position in the team. Ishant has tremendous potential. He has had a tough year. He's going to learn a lot about his cricket over the next few years. I think he can be a star of the future. It's very healthy to have competitiveness for places. They should just not be in the Indian team with average performances; they have to really perform well to be in the team.
Suresh Raina is a senior player and exceptional too. I have been excited by young Cheteshwar Pujara who has played little bit of Test cricket. I think he, from a Test match point of view, could be a star of the future. There's a young left arm spinner (Ojha); he's still a long to way to go. He's has to learn about what he's doing to get better. It's important to find two quality seamers who can stay in the team for a decent period of time. I am really happy to note the way Munaf Patel has performed in the last 20 odd internationals. He really performed well in the World Cup. Ashish Nehra has done a good job for the team. He's been in the mainstay of the bowling in one-day internationals. Zaheer Khan is the premier bowler and he needs support.
Zaheer does not like me calling him medium to medium fast bowler. He's the best 135k bowler in the world at the moment. He has tremendous skill and has proved time and again that he can deliver the goods. He bowls really well under pressure. He's very good at thinking and has ideas. He's an unbelievable bowler to left handers.
What's responsible for the improvement of Yuvraj Singh ?
I don't think there's been any player who has excited me more in terms of what he's been able to do. He had a tough run six months ago. He was left out of the Test side. He made some personal decisions and went many times one-on-one with Paddy Upton. I felt six months ago that he was moving into a new space as a person and I had no doubt that it would have benefited him as a cricketer. I could not believe how focused he was when he came back for the World Cup. He was well prepared, fitter and had worked a lot on his bowling. Most impressive of the lot was that he wanted to be one of the top fielders in the World Cup. He along with Raina and Kohli inside the ring messed it up for many teams. For Yuvraj to end up as man of the tournament was a brilliant effort.
What makes Mahendra Singh Dhoni a great captain?
I believe that he's the best captain in world cricket today. He's a leader by example. He brings a terrific match-effort to every single he game plays. He's a 100 percent player as are the others in this Indian team. He expects his troops to be ready for battle. He's calm and level headed. I have not seen him lose his temper. If things don't go well, he takes the responsibility. When he came to the final he had a point to prove that he's capable of winning the big games by taking the responsibility. He's one of the great leaders of this country and he has a huge amount to offer from the leadership point of view. There's no reason for him to move on and be the captain for the next few years.
Which was the toughest match of the World Cup?
It's an interesting World Cup. We had tough matches all the way through. We never really had an extremely easy game. Bangladesh, though they were 50 for none in five overs, was probably an easy game. We had tough situations against Ireland and Netherlands. That really worked up well for us. We were really getting battle hard in the league games. It's not something you plan; we were playing 60 per cent of our potential in the league games. One thing that stood out in the knock out stage was that there's no big individual contribution. Everyone chipped in, took the responsibility and took the pressure that existed and that really spoke about the character of the team. I was really excited the way this aspect unfolded. We stepped up the game when we played against Australia; from 60 per cent to 80 per cent.

Shopping Mall Riot Breaks Out Over Rumored Drake, Lil Wayne Sightings
Consumer confidence was at an all-time high on Monday at the Mall of America after 200 Minneapolis shoppers started brawling in the food court. Why were chairs thrown and 10 arrests made? Someone started a vicious rumor that hip hop artists Drake and Weezy were on the premises. Makes perfect sense.

This episode of CIO Sanity Savers looks at five different aspects of Windows 7 and the potential impact that they could have on IT.
I did question the compatibilty issue though. I too feel that Windows 7 is more resourceful and offers better power management however, while you say that it has XP compatibility mode, just as Vista does also, I have found that Win7 on a new notebook does have some backward compatibilty issues due to the processor being recognized as incompatible. Perhaps this problem doesn't exist if installed as an upgrade to older WinXP boxes. But I found that SOME older software, which ran on Vista with a dual core 64 bit processor, will not install or run even in compatibility mode(s) on Win7 with a dual core 64 bit processor, even when trying to install to the 32 bit folder. (AMD Athlon QL-65, entry level I know, but popular due to low cost). Note: Initially I thought maybe it was a 32 vs 64 bit issue, but even when seeking to install to the X86 folder for 32 bit mode, the same issue arose and it wasn't a 64 bit issue the system noted but a processor compatibility issue. I understand that this doesn't appear to be related to Win7 but hardware, however it is Win7 that notes the processor problems and refuses to install the software, not the app's installer itself. With QL-64 and QL-65 processors being very common in lower cost notebooks, this could be a wider spread problem too.
Except for those few times you do the spider doing push-ups on the mirror with your fingers. This communicates, to me, precision out of place. I liked better the fingers between fingers. This communicates that you do not, indeed, possess all the answers. Agree largely, by the way, with the content of your piece.
And a good thing you are hidden behind a screen, I suppose.
A very direct, simplistic and clear presentation on features of win 7. Excellent

College Facilities
Norland College is housed in a Grade II listed Georgian Villa which was originally owned by the Duke of York, (son of King George III). This historic building is fully equipped with all the most up to date facilities and resources ensuring a functional and conducive learning environment, whilst retaining the building's character.
In September 2013, the college was completely refurbished. The students' learning facilities and social spaces were improved and upgraded to create a look that is clean, sophisticated and modern.
Norland college is an inspiring and stylish place to study, uniquely blending history and modernity.
Norland's Virtual Learning Environment, Moodle, is a multi-function tool enabling staff to electronically deliver content and activities to students and facilitate collaboration and communication. It enables students to electronically submit assessments and coursework. Although used extensively in the college, the role of Moodle is to complement 'traditional' face-to-face interaction (in the form of lectures, seminars and tutorials) between staff and students.
All students are given their own log in to Norland's intranet, 'MyDay' – this highly intuitive information delivery platform provides the students with a one-stop shop for everything connected to college life, including their email, calendar and library account.
The college has laptops and PCs available for student use; however we find that most students prefer to bring in their own devices. Students can use the college wi-fi to access the internet, the college printers and the library catalogue. The college has fibre optic broadband resulting in greater speed, capacity and security.
Our classrooms are equipped with the latest technology including a 70" flat-panel interactive Smart Board and three interactive whiteboards.
The college houses an extensive Early Years library which includes relevant journals and research papers. We use the online library management system, Heritage, and students also have access to the University of Gloucestershire's catalogue and databases. Students are encouraged to use ejournals and ebooks to support their research.
Norland College also has areas that are dedicated to the practical lectures and sessions that make up the Norland Diploma. These areas include an area set up with working examples of children's nurseries and an offsite space with cooking facilities used for Food and Nutrition.
Update May 2015 - due to an increase in the numbers of our students, we have exciting plans to create new teaching facilities in Bath, with completion expected in Summer 2016. Further details can be found here.

Claimed to be giving away a free tablet in exchange for listening to their sales pitch on time shares they offer. A couple months ago they called my wife's phone, 910-548-0623, so I called them back with my phone, 910-548-0021, to make the offer, and I told them that we were on the do-not-call list and they need to remove her number. Turns out they harvested MY number from that phone call. They called me today, asked if I was James Ritter, didn't offer a company name, claiming that my WIFE gave them my name and number, when I know full well she didn't.

THAT FAINT CLANKING SOUND, arriving through the open window of his home office: Was it coming from the courtyard? Was it being made by the pulley they'd attached to the house's outside wall? Christ, it couldn't be, thought Nixon, looking at his new digital watch: 6:15 p.m. No, they still had the round-the-clock nurse with them, and she wouldn't be letting Pat get up from her long afternoon nap for another 15 minutes, when he'd join her for a glass of fruit juice and dinner off the TV trays. He heard the clanking again and realized it was just the halyard hitting the flagpole.
How One Woman Made Budget Scolding Chic
December 21, 2012
IN SEPTEMBER of 2011, a fortyish budget connoisseur named Maya MacGuineas was feeling demoralized. She couldn't believe that Congress and the president had nearly let the country default on its debt rather than reach a major deficit-cutting deal the previous summer. So she did what she had become unofficially famous for in the wonk circles of Washington: She threw a glamorous dinner party. MacGuineas's friend, Virginia Senator Mark Warner, agreed to open his Alexandria estate to a coterie of bold-faced names.

I personally think there's a market for these kinds of games, but to be fair, there aren't a lot of them out there (Or not a lot that necessarily suit my needs or wants) and I'm not sure why! The biggest issue I think is that there's a lot of room for making a bad game in this department. Too much micro and it becomes tedious and deal with every little decision. Too little and you have a game that doesn't appeal to those who want to dive in to the specific aspects of running / managing whatever you're dealing with.
Regardless, back to the topic!
Also sorry, I couldn't figure out how to quote properly. This will have to do.
- you build ships/form fleets FOR THE AI
- the AI use the fleets to conquer/defend the sector (which also include deciding which planet to attack next - within the sector)
So perhaps then the player has a few options that they can select for any given fleet. They have two or three immediate, and important options that I can tell.
- What is the fleet made up of?
- What is the fleet's current task?
- Who is leading the fleet? (Optional)
This is just the military side of thing, and I think depending on the other points of the game really determines how much detail the developer might want to go into assuming these are all the things they can do in this regard.
Personally unless the game were meant to be ultra simple, I think simply allocating percents to each of your fleets is not particularly exciting game play. Having some level of granularity of the fleet compositions I think is almost required. Although this ties in with resources, which is something I'll also mention later. Perhaps in the most simple model let's say we have three types of ships. Scouts, Combat Vessels, and Supplies?
Scouts can supply increased vision to the fleet, don't die easily to combat ships (but aren't killing stuff either really), and are really fast. They'll fight other scouts in combat if left to their own devices.
Combat Ships are slow and destructive, designed to kill other combat ships and bombard planets. They will kill a scout one on one, but can easily be swarmed by the smaller ships and killed.
Supply Ships are...well, I'm not perhaps entirely sure what their purpose is. If there's no energy weapons, perhaps ammunition. They can also carry materials / boarding parties / weaponry / upgrades / repairs for the other ships in the fleet. They can defend themselves against a single scout or two (Maybe) but if for some reason they're alone, they're hosed against a combat ship.
More complicated fleet models could perhaps use the classifications I made in my previous post, but I think assigning 'units' of these ships to fleets would be better than a simple % composition. (20% supply and 20% scout is not appropriate for a home fleet so to speak if they're banging on your doors. Your combat ships are close enough to home where they can just pull back / resupply at a friendly planet, and presumably you'd have vision from planets or something of that nature.)
It would be easy to keep it simple though. Say you have 5 scout units, 5 combat units, and 3 supply.
Fleet one with a tough aggressive AI gets 3/3/2 and the dumb passive AI gets 2/2/1 to deal with it. Each of those units though could represent X number of ships depending on the unit type. (20 scouts per scout unit per say)
This brings us to resources!
In the game there are at least two types of resources, if not a third.
- Raw Materials - Build ships, trade, buy stuff. There can be multiple types of raw materials, but it's basically the equivilant of gold/metal/whatevers in other games. For the military side of thing, it's probably gained from conquering worlds, capturing supply ships, and simply over time from peaceful planets.
- Ships - Use raw materials and other things to acquire these, either by building them with a time penalty, or purchasing more directly for a high cost from whoever.. Ships should be a limited resource, as there has to be some penalty for throwing a weak fleet at an obviously superior force.
- Admirals - Optional - Not everyone can lead a fleet of ships. This is an optional component, but is important in terms of splitting your fleets if this is a resource that you have to manage. You shouldn't be gaining or losing them all that often, and it ties in with my people comment from earlier. Perhaps events can get you a new admiral, and losing them is pretty much if you suicide an entire fleet in to the enemy.
It depends on the game being developed, but one of my favorite aspects of any game is having characters I can get attached to. In this case, it's the admiral. In a lot of 4X games (Not saying this is one) you can do things like name your ship, and that ship keeps track of its kills and things of that nature. Ships are...well, fragile in a huge military, and I don't think that makes a ton of sense to have a ship level up / get stronger / have those things tabulated. Maybe it's important, but in a game like this, you won't have that level of attachment. Instead, why not those leading your fleets?
To have your armies do different things at once, you require admirals. One admiral per fleet, each with their own stats (If applicable). Even if it's just a name, it's something the player can get behind. Personally I think it helps build a story, even more so if it's kind of a procedural game that can be played many times. Who remembers when they sent fleet A against B and won a big battle, as compared to when Admiral Slackoff led a force half the size against a superior and won because he's the best admiral in your empire? Chances are more people would remember the latter event. Any sort of level up system is just a 'bonus', and certainly not required by any means, but forcing the player to make a set of decisions based on this could be an interesting choice. Only have three admirals but have four enemies that need to be dead? Oh well. Perhaps dealing with ships in your home world is always free and requires no one (but perhaps if the admirals supply bonuses, obviously your home system ships wouldn't get any, but it's not to say they'd be less organized or anything like that, just no extras. Or maybe you get penalties! Who knows?)
Back to fleet composition real quick though before I'm done posting. Depending on the style of game, and just based on what I and you have posted, I can see two solutions to 'upgrading' a fleet to tackle a specific problem. I'm sure there are infinitely many more though!
I wonder if this is fun... Or if shouldn't there be some "special forces" that could be allocated to fleets somehow (like one alien uses distortion waves so we send ships with special resistant hulls; another alien uses some electronic warfare equipment so we send additional ships with scramblers to protect the fleet).
In the totally percentage based model, one might be able to acquire tokens of sorts that represent a fleet wide upgrade, and each fleet can only have one token at a time. Perhaps you buy improved shields from a merchant and apply them to a fleet, using your token slot. These shield prove extra effective against an alien race who uses ballistic weapons, but otherwise does nothing against the laser using schmucks on the other side of the galaxy. Other 'tokens' could include things like Planetary Death Ray (Improves capture rates of planets or something), Improved Tracer Modules (More damage to tiny ships), Sensor Module Booster (Higher and more accurate vision/reports if that's a mechanic you use), etc etc.
If you aren't using that model, there's simply acquiring new ships that can accomplish these tasks. In the unit per ship compositions, you could buy a 'Sensor Boosted Scout' ship that you can apply to your fleet. The AI would take care to give survival priority to these ships, and use them intelligently and such. This also ties in to the players caring about specific ships and the admirals leading them. Perhaps an admiral has a bonus to ship firing range, so you throw the fancy Long Range Bombardment Battleship Unit in to his fleet and watch him melt his adversaries from afar. (Assuming the AI isn't dumb!)
I don't think that there should be modules targeting a specific alien race, but rather a specific ship 'style'. In my previous instance, if there's a alien species where all of their fleets have -30% range but +40% damage, then equipping upgrades / modules / special ships that give +20% range is useful everywhere, but crippling to that army because your AI in theory would kite them and kill them unless they got the jump on you! (Shame on the player for not having scouts!)

widely, and these include measures of the type (e.g., solitary, parallel, coordinated) and complexity (e.g., exploring things, constructing things, pretending things) of play (see Ladd and Price, 1993, for a review), as well as assessments of how well children appear to be getting along (e.g., prosocial exchanges, aggressive exchanges, withdrawn behavior) and the emotions they are expressing (e.g., positive, angry, sad). Observational measures are not appropriate, however, for the study of enduring relationships since they capture only brief episodes of interaction. Researchers have also asked groups of children whom they like and dislike, which can be done effectively with children as young as age 3 (Coie and Dodge, 1983; Newcomb and Bukowski, 1983). Children are classified as popular (many "like" and few "dislike" nominations from their peers), rejected (many dislike and few like nominations), neglected (few of either kind of nominations), controversial (many of both kinds of nominations), or average. These classifications and the continuous measurement of liking and disliking can be used to explore the emotional, behavioral, and cognitive competencies that influence peer acceptance. These ratings may not generalize, however, beyond the group tested. For example, a child who isn't popular at preschool may be popular in her neighborhood. Unfortunately, we know little about how variation in acceptance across different peer groups affects children.
Peer status is not written in stone, even when assessments are focused on a child's standing in the same group over time. Among preschool children, the number of liking and disliking nominations a child receives at one time accounts for only about 25 percent of the variation in the number of nominations she receives even a short time (3 weeks) later (Olson and Lifren, 1988). Classifications based on such measures are also only modestly stable, with popular, rejected, and average classifications typically being more stable than controversial and neglected classifications (Newcomb and Bukowski, 1984). These methods are also probably culturally bound. Making decisions about who you like and don't like may make sense to children in cultures in which common topics are deciding who does and doesn't get to come to one 's birthday party, who does and doesn't get invited over to play, and who can and cannot be "my friend today." For children from cultures that encourage them to like all the children in a group, however, asking such questions may make little sense.
Despite these limitations, these so-called sociometric measures have yielded important findings. This is especially true with regard to children who end up in the rejected classification. Most of the work on peer rejection comes from studies of school-age children, so extrapolation from these studies must be done with caution when considering younger children. By the early school years, peer rejection is clearly a risk factor. Rejected children are overrepresented among adults with psychiatric problems (Cowen et al., 1973), among children who do poorly at school (Coie et al.,

The article "Islamophobia in Europe" (Aug. 29) puts in context the series of events that took place in France, Switzerland and Britain, and portrays Europe's bias towards the minority community whose members have been living there in peace since ages. Europe is always looked upon for its intellect and tolerance for other culture and their people. Targeting the people of a religion and depriving them of their right to practise generational faith will tarnish the secular image of Europe.
Salman Mahmood , New Delhi
In the backdrop of the discrimination our own Shah Rukh Khan suffered during his recent visit to the U.S., the Indian mind is prone to conceive any message of discord as a "civilisation of conflict." Most Europeans have no emotional affiliation to religion or culture. When such people, who once had a monolithic culture and religion, are today coming into contact with other faiths and culture in a globalised world, some kind of friction is but natural and every nation needs to respect it. It is to do away with any such external discrimination that they propose to shun "burqa" or "minarets." In India, too, we are concerned about a "uniform civil code" and other measures for social and demographic balancing. Of course, after 9/11, the westerners are more cautious.
Mathew Thankachen, Kollam
Islamophobia is certainly not a new phenomenon in Europe. The cause of such incidents as quoted in the article are political. Amid widespread economic downturn, suspicions about Muslims with international links have created widespread disenchantment across Europe.
Anoop Poonia, Jaipur
True, Muslims in Europe face prejudice. What about the prejudice in Islamic countries against non-Muslims? If one intends to play fair, it is the Islamic countries that need to do more on religious tolerance. Before asking for the right to equality in Europe or America, one must speak up for the right of the religious minority in Islamic countries.

Teen Mom 2 star Kailyn Lowry — pregnant with her second child — was rushed to the hospital on Saturday night, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The 21-year-old reality mom was taken to the hospital after she had spent the day at the beach with her son Isaac and husband Javi Marroquin, she revealed on Twitter.

But while Kailyn is pregnant with her second child and first with Javi, the emergency room scare didn't have anything to do with the fact that she was expecting.
She was just suffering from dehydration after not drinking enough water at the beach.
"The beach yesterday was definitely worth my trip to the ER last night from dehydration afterwards," Kailyn tweeted on June 23. "I'll just drink water all day next time."

But, according to another tweet, Kailyn did spend the night throwing up.
"Yeah, I was throwing up all night. It was awful! But a lot better now! It was good seeing you!" she shared.

Apple Among Top Searches On Google's Zeitgeist List
Google released its annual Zeitgeist feature for 2011, with Apple-related news making three of the top 10 spots.
Google´s Zeitgeist 2011 includes the year's 10 fastest-rising global searches on the Internet.
Apple's rumored iPhone 5 placed at number six on the list, despite the company's iPhone 4S actually being release. Some speculated that an iPhone 5 would be a larger screen version of the iPhone.
Google said searches for the rumored phone rose 1,658 percent between 2010 and 2011, with the peak coming in the week of September 25th.
Steve Jobs made the list as well, landing in the nine-spot. Jobs, the co-founder of Apple, died October 5, 2011 after battling with pancreatic cancer.
The company's iPad 2 hit number 10 on Google's Zeitgeist. The device hit stores the same day as Japan's earthquake and tsunami struck on March 11.
Apple's iPhone 4S landed second in Google's fastest rising news, falling just behind the nuclear power plant Fukushima in Japan.
Topping this year's list was Rebecca Black, a 13-year-old Internet-star who made a viral video of her pop single "Friday".
Google's own Google+ made it to the second spot on its list. This is a social network Google announced in June 2011, landing over 10 million people within the first three weeks of launch.
Celebrity Ryan Dunn was the third fastest-rising search of the year after a drunk-driving car accident killed him on June 20, 2011.
Casey Anthony, the mother who was charged with first-degree murder of her own daughter, hit number four on Google's Zeitgeist.
Google also released a list of the "Fastest Rising Consumer Electronics" for the year, and the "Fastest Rising – Google Maps."
Amazon's Kindle Fire took the top spot on the company's "Fastest Rising Consumer Electronics" list, followed by Apple's iPhone 4S.
Apple kept the streak alive on that list as well, with its iPad 2 hitting the number six spot, and the rumored iPad 3 taking number 10.
Other smartphones making Google's consumer electronics list includes Samsung Nexus Prime, Hewlett-Packard's Touchpad and HTC's Sensation.

Rated 4.8 out of 5Â by 413 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5Â by GigiV I love it! This is my new favorite jacket. The sizing is generous and sleeves are nice and long. Reviews helped me decide on medium, instead of large and it fits perfect, I am 5'9" and normally wear 10/12. Would love to have one in every color! May 22, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by wyomom A "must have" for traveling. I have five of the Aruba Full-Zip jackets and love them. I wear them year-round and always have at least one in my suitcase! May 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Leeny get the turquoise! I don't usually pay full price for things but this light weight jacket is an exception. i owned this in black and wore it out! it was no longer black and had started to fray...i loved it! so when i had to replace it, I decided to go with the turquoise one. I'm glad I did. it's my go-to and I wear it just as much as the black one. It's a must have! May 16, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5Â by dmoneill Problem with the zipper I have several of the 1/2 zip Aruba sweatshirts. I received 2 of the full zip jackets for Christmas and unfortunately both the zippers on the jackets have broken. The metal piece on the bottom has fallen off so the zipper isn't even repairable other than having a new zipper put on. The jackets fit perfectly so it was because they were too tight. Pretty expensive item to only be able to wear periodically for 5 months! May 15, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Beachbliss Soft, comfortable and stylish. This is the best sweat shirt I have ever owned. It is comfortable and well made. My only problem was deciding what color to purchase. I don't feel sloppy wearing this because the cut and stitching details make this look tailored. May 6, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by KB24 I live in these! The Aruba Full-Zip is my go to for winter evenings at home or as a light jacket in milder weather. The fit is perfect, and the color choices are amazing. Great product! May 5, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Lunn48 Love the styling. Absolutely love this jacket! Comfortable, stylish, just the right weight and dressier than the usual zip jacket. I have two full-zip and four half zips in different colors and I'm planning on getting more. The best jacket ever! May 2, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Nanny9 Nice for cool summer nights This is my second Aruba full zip jacket. I would have given 5 stars but I wish it was a little more lightweight for Florida where I spend the winters. It has a nice tailored fit so it doesn't look like a baggy sweatshirt. I have long arms and the sleeves fit perfectly! April 21, 2015

Wednesday - 12/8/2010, 5:06pm EST
Dec. 14th, 10:00 am
Cyber-threats have created unprecedented technical and social challenges that have never before been addressed. In the past, when the enemy attacked you could see it, touch it and know what damage was incurred. A cyber-bullet can attack a country, a financial institution, or a power grid and we may not be able to detect or ever know or understand the full impact of the security breach. What are the issues that the public is facing due to cyber-threats? What progress is being made in regards to cyber-security? Join us for a discussion with experts in the field of CyberSecurity to learn about this tough subject and what we need to do to stay vigilant against cyber threats and attacks.

Padangbai is a small town in eastern Bali, Indonesia near Candidasa. It serves as a ferry port for travel to Lembar on Lombok, The Gilis and other of the Lesser Sunda Islands. It is also a lovely beach town that is popular with those who prefer a small town atmosphere over the large scale beach party that is Kuta.
Besides the beach near the ferry terminal there is a beach just to the north known locally as the Blue Lagoon and the especially nice Secret Beach just to the south of town. Blue Lagoon has two family owned warungs that will be glad to prepare a meal and serve beer.
Many people go to Padangbai to Scuba Dive.
A bit of street art on the way to the beach.

Norwich - A Willimantic man charged in the theft, destruction and sale of a bronze statue from the Yantic Cemetery told police he found the pieces of the heavy bronze statue beneath the Water Street bridge near Norwich Harbor and cashed them in as scrap.
Norwich Superior Court Judge Robert Young set the bond at $150,000 Tuesday for Sean P. McNee, 43, of 182 South Park Road, Willimantic, charged by Norwich police with first-degree larceny, first-degree criminal mischief and desecration of a grave site in connection with the destruction of a 120-year-old bronze statue from the grave of Sarah Osgood at the Yantic Cemetery. The statue was valued at $35,700.
A public defender was appointed for McNee, and he was placed on a medical watch in prison. He is scheduled to appear again in Norwich Superior Court on March 29.
Police said more arrests are expected in the case.
According to the affidavit, Tim Devivo of Willimantic Waste contacted Norwich police on Feb. 24 after hearing a TV news story about the missing statue. Devivo told police chunks of a bronze statue were brought in on Feb. 11, and he immediately became suspicious and set the pieces aside in case they had been stolen.
Police collected the remains and reassembled the five pieces to determine that it was the stolen statue, with the head missing.
Willimantic Waste officials provided police with the driver's license information for McNee, the man who brought the bronze segments to the facility, and license plates for the two vehicles, a Cadillac Seville and a GMC Jimmy, both belonging to McNee.
Police interviewed McNee later that morning at his Willimantic home, and he allegedly told police he found the statue pieces under a bridge in Norwich near the harbor.
Police escorted McNee to the site, and reached it only by climbing over and around a 12-foot high fence. At one point, they could only continue by having both hands on the fence, the warrant stated. Police said the largest piece of the statue, weighing 226 pounds, would not have fit under the fence.
McNee told police he went to the Howard T. Brown Memorial Park the morning of Feb. 11, shot heroin and fell asleep. At first he told police he woke up to a loud banging sound beneath the Water Street bridge and later told police he saw three men cutting up the statue.
Police learned that McNee had worked for R.H. Snow Memorial Co. of Norwich until December and was familiar with the Yantic Cemetery. A former co-worker told police they had been to the cemetery many times for installing gravestones.
McNee, however, told police he did not know the cemetery.
McNee told police that a GMC Jimmy is used by his friend, Richard Chamberlin of Lebanon. At the Lebanon home at 9 West Island Beach Road, police discovered tire tracks in the snow and many footprints to a shed, where grinding and cutting tools were found and seized.
Police interviewed brothers Ronald and Richard Chamberlin at the home.
Ronald Chamberlin told police he hadn't been to the shed in several months, while Richard referred police to his brother and said he did not want "to be labeled as a 'snitch,'" the affidavit said.
Police also interviewed McNee's girlfriend, Jodi Despard, who told police she accompanied McNee and Richard Chamberlin to the waste facility and that McNee told her he had found the scrap.

Tom dwells on the mistakes he and others have made thinking about the war in Iraq
- By Thomas E. RicksThomas E. Ricks covered the U.S. military for the Washington Post from 2000 through 2008. He can be reached at email@example.com.
It is all here, in technicolor. I am still haunted by that phrase, "hard to imagine." It wasn't just Paul Wolfowitz who came up short. As I note in this interview, I once thought keeping a residual military force in Iraq was a good idea.

A group of lawyers objecting to the participation of Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi at a function to unveil the statue of B.R. Ambedkar in the Madras High Court were assaulted by a section in the audience.
Immediately after the Chief Minister began his speech, a dozen advocates, belonging to a Tamil nationalist fringe group, Manitha Urimai Paathukaapu Maiyam, waved black flags and raised slogans against him. "Anumathiyom! Anumathiyom! (We won't allow!)" they shouted, even as Mr Karunanidhi, unfazed, continued with his speech.
Chief Justice of India K.G. Balakrishnan, Chief Justice of the Madras High Court H.L. Gokhale, Union Law Minister Veerappa Moily, Supreme Court Judge P. Sathasivam, and Law Minister Durai Murugan were among those on the dais with the Chief Minister. A section of the audience in front threw chairs at the protesters, who were at the far end, and assaulted them. Chennai Police Commissioner T. Rajendran and Additional Commissioner (Law and Order) Shakeel Akhter intervened and prevented further attacks.
The attackers were seen chasing the protesting advocates. Cameramen of satellite TV channels covering the incident were also attacked, and the cameras of NDTV-Hindu and Jaya TV were broken.
The injured lawyers were treated as outpatients at the Government Royapettah hospital. Police arrested K. Suresh, Jimraj Milton, G. Thiyagu, S. Parthasarathy, Solomon and M. Muneeswaran from hospital. They were released on bail later.
Durairaj and Ezhilarasu, members of the Ambedkar Puratchi Munnani, were also arrested and remanded to judicial custody. Police said two more persons were absconding.
Speaking to TheHindu, Suresh, the leader of the group, said they objected to the presence of the Chief Minister, because he had failed to take action against the four officers who he said were responsible for the police action against the advocates on the High Court campus on February 19, 2009.
"We are not against unveiling of the statue and the presence of judges and others," he said. The group distributed pamphlets explaining the reasons for their protest.
The Chief Minister said in his 70 years public life, he had faced innumerable protests, ridicule and stone pelting incidents. However, "we will not bow before uncivilised attempts to undermine democracy," he said.
