Sabah, the "Land Below The Wind" because it lies south of the typhoon belt, is now buffeted by the winds of change propelled by the heirs of the Sultan of Sulu.
Impatient over the Philippine government's inaction to officially settle their claim to most of the eastern part of Sabah, Sultan Jamalul Kiram III, leading loyal followers of some 400 Sulu residents, some of whom are lightly armed, staked his claim to what he believes is land that belongs to his family.
They are now settled in Lahad Datu, demanding that they should not be expelled from Sabah, an area that the Philippines, on behalf of the heirs of the Sultanate of Sulu, had been trying to reclaim from Malaysia.
This conundrum is now bedeviling the Aquino administration, the fly in the ointment of what was supposed to be a peaceful resolution of the Mindanao conflict with the pending signing of the agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF).
In the '50s, the Philippine map includes a portion of north Borneo that is outlined but without any recognizable feature, "Terra Incognita," but part of the territory nonetheless since this area used to be under the Sulu Sultanate in the 1400s.
It is time once more to revisit the Borneo dispute for the edification of the younger generations who might not be aware of what this hoopla is all about.
On January 22, 1878, the Sultanate of Sulu and British commercial syndicate (Alfred Dent and Baron von Overbeck) signed an agreement, stipulating that North Borneo was either ceded or leased (depending on translation used) to the British syndicate in return for payment of 5,000 Malayan dollars per year.
On April 22, 1903, His Majesty, Sultan Jamalul Kiram, signed a document known as "Confirmation of cession of certain islands," under what he either "granted and ceded" or "leased" additional islands in the neighborhood of the mainland of North Borneo from Banggi Island to Sibuku Bay to British North Borneo Company.
The Malaysian Embassy in Manila continues to pay "cession money" to the heirs of the Sultanate of Sulu, amounting to R73, 940 or RM5300. This cession money is confirmed by the Malaysian Embassy in Manila and the heirs of the Sultanate of Sulu.
A British version of the agreement says the grant is ceded, while the Sulu version says it was a lease.
The key word in both the agreements was "padjak," which has been translated by American, Dutch, and Spanish linguists to mean "lease" or "arrendamiento."
The British nevertheless takes the word "padjak" to mean "grant and cede," according to Wikipedia.
"It can be argued however, that "padjak" means "mortgage" or "pawn" or even "wholesale," as per the contemporary meaning of "padjak" in Sulu.
This indicates that the agreement was actually a contract in which the Sultan of Sulu placed the land as mortgage/perpetual lease in return for a loan of 5,300 Malayan dollars per year in perpetuity.
To this day, although many Filipinos are mum on the matter, they blame British duplicity for giving Sabah back to Malaysia, a former colony and not to the Philippines.
During former President Diosdado Macapagal's watch, the territory of North Borneo, and the full sovereignty, title, and dominion over the territory were ceded by the then reigning Sultan of Sulu, HM Sultan Muhammad Esmail E. Kiram I, to the Republic of the Philippines.
The cession effectively gave the Philippine government the full authority to pursue their claim in international courts.
The Philippines broke diplomatic relations with Malaysia after the federation included Sabah in 1963 but probably resumed it unofficially through the Manila Accord.
In 1968, former President Ferdinand Marcos trained a team of saboteurs on Corregidor for infiltration into Sabah but the plan went awry. The soldiers, except one, were shot and the event became known as the Jabidah massacre.
Marcos dropped the claim but the aggrieved Malaysians insisted on an explicit, humiliating public renunciation that no Philippine president could meet their conditions, Wikipedia said.
Diplomatic ties were resumed in 1989 and during the time of President Fidel V. Ramos, the Sabah claim was relegated to the back burner in the interest of pursuing cordial economic and security relations with Kuala Lumpur.
On July 16, 2011, the Supreme Court ruled that the Philippine claim over Sabah is retained and may be pursued in the future.

Leo and Tobey, finally together in 'Gatsby'
This film publicity image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway in a scene from "The Great Gatsby." (AP Photo/Warner Bros. Pictures)
NEW YORK (AP) — Tobey Maguire didn't have to go far when Leonardo DiCaprio called him about meeting to discuss an adaptation of "The Great Gatsby" with Baz Luhrmann.
"I happened to live next door to Leo at the time, so it wasn't a far journey," Maguire says. "I was like, 'Oh, yeah. Sure. I can be over in 30 seconds if that's good for you.'"
"The Great Gatsby" is the first film of note co-starring the two longtime pals. It's fitting, too, because they play the classic tandem of the desperate romantic Jay Gatsby (DiCaprio) and his lone friend, the narrator Nick Carraway (Maguire) — who, not unlike Maguire, lives adjacent to Gatsby.
Working together on a film is a long time coming for DiCaprio and Maguire. In a recent joint interview at the Plaza Hotel in New York, the two cheerfully reflected on their close friendship, flashing occasional glimpses of the same boyish competitiveness that first brought them together as child actors vying for the same parts.
"After I met Tobey at an audition, I felt like I wanted this guy to be my friend," recalls DiCaprio. "I remember driving back from school and he was doing 'Hot Rod Brown Class Clown' with Whoopi Goldberg outside Hollywood High. It was a high school. And I jumped out of my car in the middle of the scene, as they were shooting, practically. I was like, 'Tobey! Tobey! Tobey! Give me your number.' He was like, 'Yeah, who are you again?'"
This film publicity image released by Warner Bros. Pictures shows Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway in a scene from "The Great Gatsby." (AP Photo/Warner Bros. Pictures)
That began some 25 years of a friendship that hasn't been warped by time or fame. They've remained steadfast while their careers ascended from frantically chasing parts in "Critters 3" (DiCaprio's film debut; Maguire got turned down) to being among Hollywood's top leading men.
They've taken different routes. DiCaprio broke out as a teen idol in "Titanic," star power he then used to tackle ambitious roles with top-tier directors like Martin Scorsese ("The Aviator," ''Shutter Island"), Steven Spielberg ("Catch Me If You Can") and Clint Eastwood ("J. Edgar"). Maguire built himself through acclaimed dramas ("The Ice Storm," ''Wonder Boys," ''The Cider House Rules") before landing the "Spider-Man" franchise.

The Music of the Mpingo The African blackwood or mpingo tree, as it is called in Swahili, is resilient and grows alone, not in dense forests, but solitarily and in rocky soil where other trees can't survive. As a young girl growing up in rural East Berne, N.Y., Michele Von Haugg '98 spent many hours alone in nearby woods, exploring her surroundings, but with an innate feeling that someday her love for nature would lead her thousands of miles away to Africa. Two years ago her childhood longing took her to Tanzania in east Africa, the home of the mpingo or "musical tree," and these two products of nature became fast friends. "I grew up reading books by Jane Goodall. She's such an iconic figure," Michele explained. "I always believed that my path was going to lead me to the forests of Africa. Even as a kid, I knew somehow, some way I would end up there." Michele, who graduated from SCCC with a degree in Performing Arts: Music, was a doctoral student at Arizona State University when she began to plant the seeds for a cross-cultural program to educate children living in Tanzania, the main area where the mpingo grows, about their native tree. She decided she would do this by teaching them how to play the clarinet, her instrument, and one that is made from the wood of the mpingo. Her program is called Clarinets for Conservation. Her journey involved long plane rides with suitcases full of clarinets, reeds and music books, a 13-hour bus ride through rough African terrain on a bus with no one who spoke English (and a few chickens and goats), and some heartbreak about broken promises with those assigned to help her. But in May 2010, she arrived in Moshi, Tanzania, in the foothills of Mount Kilimanjaro, and forged strong friendships and working relationships with Sebastian Chuwa, Director of the African Blackwood Conservation Project, and Samweli Mochuwa, Director of the Kiviwama Conservation Project. She had eight weeks to get the program off the ground, speaking with principals Continued on page 6...

Continued from Cover... Schenectady Mayor Gary McCarthy '77 views education as infinite. "Education is an ongoing process," the SCCC alumnus said during an interview sandwiched between a meeting at Proctors with representatives from Gov. Andrew Cuomo'sofficeandhisdutiesatCity Hall. "It doesn't end after high school. It's a lifelong endeavor and you have to approach it that way." McCarthy was sworn in as Mayor of the city of Schenectady on January 1, 2012, after an extremely close race. He had been ActingMayorsinceApril4,2011,replacing former Mayor Brian Stratton. Prior to that, he was a Schenectady City Council Member for eight years, serving as Council President for two years. His two primary objectives, as he and his staff lead the Electric City, are to reestablish owner occupied neighborhoods and to continue redevelopment initiatives in the city. "We want to bring the middle class back to the city, to our neighborhoods," the Mayor said. "We are also now focusing on the next phase of redevelopment in Schenectady, from State Street to the community college, and SCCC will be an anchor for that next phase." McCarthy graduated from SCCC in 1977 with an A.S. degree in Liberal Arts: Interdisciplinary Science. He attended the University at Albany and joined the Schenectady County District Attorney's Officein1981asaninvestigator.He retired as Chief Investigator from the D.A.'sofficethisfall. The Mayor finds himself back on campus for various events and meetings, but always makes it a point to enjoy the gourmet cuisine in the Casola Dining Room at least twice a year. Mornings were spent at Korongoni Secondary School, with Michele leading 12 students, six girls and six boys, through musical scales and warmup exercises. When they had a firm grasp on the fundamentals, she began to teach them songs they would eventually perform for townspeople. All of the students were in a Mali Hai Club, an African "living things" environmental club, and already grew plants and vegetables that they sold in town. During the afternoon, Sebastian and Samweli led conservation education, focusing on the mpingo and other trees, stressing that demand for the mpingo has threatened the tree's existence. Onlytwostudentslefttheeight-weekprogram,onewhohadtohelphisfamilywith daily chores and another who contracted malaria. When new students joined the group, Michele assigned other students to teach them the basics and was surprised at the results. "When new students joined, I would have other students teach them everything they had learned so far," Michele said. "They ended up being more advanced. They learned from the other students' mistakes without even needing to make them. They had been observing them." Overthecourseoftwomonths,the12 students and their three teachers planted 100 trees around Korongoni, including blackwood andavocadotrees.Oninstrumentstheyhad never laid eyes on only six weeks before, they gave a performance for their families and friends, using the notes that Michele taught them. In between songs, they shared facts about the trees, such as that the mpingo grows to about 30 feet and takes 70 to 200 years to reach maturity. At the end of June 2010, Michele prepared to fly back to the United States. She left the clarinets, music books and cds behind at the school for the students to continue playing, with the older ones teaching younger students how to play. They continue to give performances in Tanzania, at locations where trees can be planted. They play a selection, talk about the trees and while community members are watching, they plant seedlings. Michele and Assistant Director Scott Horsington plan to tour the Northeast this spring to perform, raise funds and spread the word about Clarinets for Conservation. In May 2012, Michele will return to Tanzania, again working with Sebastian and Samweli, reuniting with her original students and teaching new clarinetists. "I'm excited to find out what direction they've taken it in," she said. "There are so many ways the clarinet has been used all over the world. I'm excited to see how it's been used in eastern Africa." Watch a video about Michele's work in Tanzania at www.sunysccc.edu.

Google's Eric Schmidt sees 1b Android phones in use in 9 months
Published on Apr 17, 2013 1:24 AM
SAN FRANCISCO (REUTERS) - Google's executive chairman Eric Schmidt predicted on Tuesday that there will be more than a billion smartphones in use featuring its Android software within the next six to nine months.
The five-year old Android software has been a huge hit for Google, giving the Internet search company a strong footing with consumers who increasingly access the Web from mobile phones rather than from PCs. Android is now the world's No. 1 mobile phone software, with more than 750 million mobile devices featuring Android in use across the world.
At the current rate, Mr Schmidt said Google should cross the 1 billion mark within six to nine months and will be "nearing 2 billion in a year or two".
"If that proceeds, I think it will be a pretty good outcome for everybody," he said.

Armstrong aided by 'professionalized' doping program, agency says
Story byLance Williams, Matt Smith
Cycling superstar Lance Armstrong earned his unprecedented seven victories in the Tour de France with the aid of a "sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program" on his racing team, the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said today.
Eleven former cyclists from the U.S. Postal Service team have told investigators that for years, Armstrong used an array of performance-enhancing drugs, the agency's chief executive, Travis Tygart, said in a statement.
Riders on Armstrong's team were pressured to take banned drugs and participate in a cover-up of doping on the team, Tygart said.
"The evidence of the US Postal Service Pro Cycling Team-run scheme is overwhelming and is in excess of 1,000 pages, and includes sworn testimony from 26 people, including 15 riders with knowledge of the US Postal Service Team," the release says. It adds that a full evidence dossier will be made public later today.
"The evidence also includes direct documentary evidence including financial payments, emails, scientific data and laboratory test results that further prove the use, possession and distribution of performance enhancing drugs by Lance Armstrong and confirm the disappointing truth about the deceptive activities of the USPS Team, a team that received tens of millions of American taxpayer dollars in funding," the release says.
In a statement today, Armstrong lawyer Tim Herman denounced the anti-doping agency's assertions as a "one-sided hatchet job." He dismissed the witnesses as "axe-grinders (and) serial perjurers," and said their stories had been coerced. Armstrong has maintained his innocence and says he is the victim of a "vendetta" by anti-doping zealots.
Tygart denied that the cyclists were coerced, saying Armstrong's former teammates came forward in spite of, rather than because of, the risk of punishment.
Witnesses included 2006 Tour de France winner Floyd Landis, who in 2010 admitted to a career of doping that began under the tutelage of Armstrong, and 2004 Olympic cycling gold medalist Tyler Hamilton, whose recent book, "The Secret Race," suggested that for the Armstrong-led postal service team, doping methods such as EPO injections and blood transfusions were routine.
For years after they were suspended for drug use, both Landis and Hamilton had denied using banned drugs and insisted that Armstrong never took drugs either. Both Landis and Hamilton have since been stripped of their titles.
Several other witnesses are employed by top professional Team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda, whose director, Jonathan Vaughters, is another former Armstrong teammate.
Vaughters has said he explicitly instructed team members to speak honestly to anti-doping investigators. The anti-doping agency's witness list includes Vaughters, as well as Garmin team members Christian Vande Velde, Dave Zabriskie and Tom Danielson.
Other witnesses include Santa Rosa's Levi Leipheimer, who rides for the Omega Pharma – Quick-Step team; Canadian cyclist Michael Barry; and ex-racers Stephen Swart, George Hincapie and Frankie Andreu.
In 2006, Andreu and his wife, Betsy, testified in arbitration proceedings that they heard Armstrong admit to using performance-enhancing drugs while undergoing cancer treatments.
"Lance could not have done it on his own," Betsy Andreu told California Watch. "This is a story that has to be told: the cover-up and how he got away with it."

Today, the Department of Energy issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend its regulations governing compliance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The proposals focus primarily on the Department's categorical exclusion provisions, and reflect the first update to these provisions in thirteen years. The Department sought public input earlier this year to assist in the preparation of the current proposals.
The Department of Energy announced today that it has entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the United States Civilian Board of Contract Appeals (CBCA) to enable the Department's lab and facility management and operation (M&O) contractors to employ the CBCA for mediation, arbitration, and other alternative dispute resolution services. Earlier this year, the Department clarified that M&O contractors are permitted to include binding arbitration clauses in their contracts with others, and, indeed, that arbitration may often be a desirable alternative to litigation where disputes
Because of the role wireless technologies will play in the evolution toward a smarter national grid, one of the recommendations in DOE's report, The Communications Requirements of Smart Grid Technologies, was that members of the utility sector become more engaged in the federal advisory committees that provide input on key policy issues related to the Smart Grid, including spectrum management and network reliability issues. Last week, the Department of Commerce's National Telecommunications and Information Adm
On December 8, 2010, the Department of Energy General Counsel's office hosted a seminar on the topic of spectrum policy, attended by approximately fifty representatives of the utility industry. At this spectrum policy seminar, senior officials from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) provided information on spectrum policy issues in light of the role wireless communications will play in the deployment of Smart Grid technologies. They reviewed the current spectrum management process and
The Department last week invited interested parties to submit views on the proper application of waivers establishing alternative test procedures for existing large-capacity residential clothes washer models and units. We received responses from several parties, which can be found below.
The Department of Energy published a final rule establishing procedures under which a former employee of the executive branch may obtain approval to make communications to DOE solely for the purpose of furnishing scientific or technological information during the period the former employee is subject to post-employment restrictions set forth in 18 U.S.C. 207(a), (c), and (d).
The Department of Energy has recently granted several requests for waivers establishing an alternative test procedure for certain large-capacity residential clothes washer models. We have now received follow-up questions about the proper application of these waivers. Since these questions affect multiple manufacturers and the public, we have decided the proper course is to invite interested parties to submit views on the proper application of these waivers to existing clothes washer models and units by Tuesday, December 7th.
The Department of Energy has settled the civil penalty action it initiated against Air-Con International for Air-Con's sale of air conditioners in the United States that used more energy than allowed by federal law. On September 20, 2010, based on Air-Con's responses to a DOE subpoena, DOE ordered Air-Con to stop selling noncompliant air conditioners in the United States and proposed civil penalties for the noncompliant units sold by the company.

Judge tells 'Whitey' Bulger jury to focus on mob charges
BOSTON (Reuters) – The statute of limitations cannot erase any of the racketeering and murder charges faced by former Boston mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger, the U.S. judge overseeing his trial told the jury on Wednesday.
"The issue of statute of limitation should not concern you," U.S. District Judge Denise Casper told the 12-member jury on its second day of deliberations over whether the 83-year-old defendant is guilty of 32 criminal counts that could send him to prison for the rest of his life.
Lawyers to sum up testimony in Bulger murder trial finale
BOSTON (Reuters) – Lawyers in the trial of former mobster James 'Whitey' Bulger on Monday will sum up eight weeks of testimony from former hitmen, FBI agents, smugglers and extortion victims about a string of murders blighting Boston's past.
The closing arguments come after Bulger denounced his murder and racketeering trial as a sham on Friday and refused to testify in a case that captured national attention, recalling a bygone era when mobsters toting machineguns left a trail of unsolved killings as they fought for control of the criminal underworld.
Ex-agent recalls 'paranoia' about 'Whitey' Bulger's FBI connections
BOSTON (Reuters) – FBI files about mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger were locked into a fireproof safe in the bureau's Boston office to keep them from the prying eyes of corrupt agents who would leak them to criminals, a retired agent testified on Wednesday.
"I had (files) placed in a safe, I think it was even fireproof, in my office, and I could then lock the door of my office," ex-agent Fred Davis told the jury. Lawyers defending Bulger in his murder and racketeering trial had called him to the stand to buttress its case that Boston's FBI office was corrupt and mismanaged when it was investigating their client in the 1970s and 80s.

BOSTON (Reuters) – Confessed killer Stephen "The Rifleman" Flemmi told the lawyer defending mob boss James "Whitey" Bulger on Thursday that spending life in prison in return for testifying against his former partner in crime is no picnic, at least not a very good picnic.
Flemmi, who is serving a life sentence for 10 murders he confessed to a decade ago, disputed Bulger's attorneys' assertion that he was housed in "The Club Med of Prisons."
Patriots coach says Hernandez shows flaws of player screening

Hernandez was cut from the National Football League team on

semi-professional football player Odin Lloyd.
Ex-NFL star Hernandez due in court on murder charge
ATTLEBORO, Massachusetts (Reuters) – Former New England Patriots football star Aaron Hernandez was due in court on Wednesday afternoon for a preliminary hearing on murder charges that could reveal new details in the latest National Football League scandal.
Hernandez was arrested on June 26, nine days after police found the bullet-riddled corpse of a friend, Odin Lloyd, in an industrial park near Hernandez's house in North Attleborough, Massachusetts. He was cut from the Patriots on the same day as his arrest.

Stephen Rakes, who once sued the FBI for failing to protect him from one of Bulger's extortion schemes, was found on Wednesday afternoon in Lincoln, Massachusetts, about 16 miles (26 km) northwest of Boston, according to the Middlesex Country District Attorney's office.

At least, that's what they say on the Leading Hotels of the World website (there's still no info on Patina Hotels' own site). But should you try to book, you'll find reservations are only open from September 1. Perhaps they're hoping to open up the August rooms nearer the time. Perhaps they're playing it safe. Or perhaps they enjoy making us wait longer.
Either way, there's a nice surprise – a really nice surprise – with the rates.

Singapore's Changi Airport Is Building a Yotel (and Giant Indoor Waterfall)
It's like clockwork: the annual Skytrax awards for best airport come around, and Singapore's Changi Airport wins. So it did last month, for the third year running, and no US airport even made the top ten.
If flying in and out of Singapore is nice and award-worthy at the moment, wait until their next project is going to be completed. Called Jewel Changi Airport, it is an enormous mixed-use complex that should be ready by the end of 2018, and includes lots of things, like a new Yotel, but we have to start with the above: the 40-metre high Rain Vortex, the world's tallest indoor waterfall that will be at the heart of the complex. Just take in that rendering – can you imagine something like that greeting you at, say, Newark?

Philippe Starck's South Beach Hotel in Singapore Will Unveil the Future
Having just processed the scale and design of the future home of Andaz Singapore, here we are with more on Philippe Starck's entry into the city's hotel / mega development game. Part of the gigantic South Beach development, we have some up to date construction shots, but we also stumbled upon these renderings on the hotel website, so far just called The South Beach.
First: the "unveil the future" isn't our imagination running away with us; keep reading, and you see this bold statement plastered along the construction site - which is not so much down the road from the iconic Raffles Hotel, as the Andaz is, but directly opposite the front entrance.
Second: whoa, that's a lot of things in one rendering. White walls, ceiling, and bed. Black/grey/white camouflage flooring, which bleeds into the furniture (see the nightstands and the legs of the table). Mirror and artwork behind the bed. TV on a wooden stand. A bathroom clad in mirrors. A lighting fixture in the form of a metal tube coming down from the ceiling. Discuss.

Having a Millennial Time at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway Singapore
Between its inspiration being a "virtual persona" and the oxygenated water we found in our room, we had little doubt about the millennial roots of Hotel Jen. But what is it like to spend the night? Does Jen give us enough of the things we like about millennial hotels (e.g. free and no fuss WiFi) without some of the trends we'd rather see end yesterday?
The WiFi question we can only answer with a resounding yes. Not only was the WiFi free at Hotel Jen Orchardgateway in Singapore, fast, and reliable, it had no limitations on the number of devices. We found ourselves with no less than five on us during our stay, so being able to go beyond the more common maximum of three was very welcome.

Patina Hotels Is Busy With Its Singapore Flagship, Will Branch Out to the Maldives
Having learned about new brand Patina Hotels and its flagship The Patina, Capitol in Singapore four months ago, we strolled down Stamford Road to see how far along the transformation of the classic Capitol Building and Stamford House has come.
Above the view from the corner of North Bridge and Stamford Road towards the Capitol building – for an aerial view of the entire development go here. On the left you can just make out the modern addition that will house the Eden Residences Capitol, a series of apartments with views over Marina Bay and, in the example you can see by clicking that link, views from a private pool. Rather than an April completion (which seemed very soon to us), the Leading Hotels of the World website now lists "mid 2015" for opening.

Checking Out the Future Home of Andaz Singapore
With the news that Andaz Hotels was heading to Singapore dropping into our inbox just days before we would be in town, we naturally had to include a stop in the Ophir-Rochor district on our itinerary to check out what we'll be looking at come opening in 2017.
We'll get to construction shots in a second, but first, here it is: the dual-towered DUO development Andaz will be part of, designed by Ole Scheeren, the architect also behind Bangkok's Mahanakhon Tower. Curving along a half-moon base, the exterior of the two towers is covered in hexagons, with extensive gardens and at least one pool on the roof. Read on for much more.

Hotel Jen Singapore Has Oxygenated Water in the Rooms and Baywatch on the Roof
In the wave of millennial hotels we greeted in 2014, Shangri-La Hotels decided to join in by throwing out its business-oriented Traders Hotels and repurposing the properties into Hotel Jen, "inspired by virtual persona Jen, a professional hotelier who loves life, travel and the adventure of discovering new places".
In case we had any doubt about its millennial nature after that description when we checked into Hotel Jen Orchardgateway in Singapore, they were put to rest when we found an orange post-it on the bathroom mirror jauntily telling us to check out the minibar, in which we found two bottles of (complimentary) oxygenated water. Fits right in with things like a focus social spaces and acting impressed over artisanal olive oil, don't you think?

The Upcoming South Beach Hotel in Singapore Has No Flag Yet But It's Got a Star Designer
The sleek and gigantic South Beach development takes up a city block, featuring two angular towers with sky gardens and a wavy canopy covering a retail promenade. The hotel will share the tower in the foreground with residential apartments.
If you celebrated the New Year in downtown Singapore, you may have noticed a couple of striking high-rise buildings in the works. This is South Beach, a seriously "green" mixed-use development in the heart of the business district and yeah, there's a hotel planned. The 654-room "luxury concept hotel" does not yet have a confirmed operator or a firm opening date but it's got an interior designer we can get excited about – Philippe Starck.

Best of British! Premier Inn Is Expanding to Singapore
Imagine this, with a Singapore map on the wall
Normally when we're writing about Premier Inn, we're thinking of it as a cuddly, budget UK brand, doing things like topping satisfaction lists and trying to appeal to millennials.
But it turns out we've underestimated Premier Inn. They're not just UK and Ireland anymore. They've gone global.
In Singapore the other week, we stumbled on this story about Premier Inn's plans to open its first hotel in Singapore. How exciting! Except now we realize there are already Premier Inns in India and the Arabian Gulf. You guys!
Anyway, Premier Inn Singapore Beach Road will have 300 rooms with rates at the SGD $160-190 rate ($127-152), which is good-to-standard for the more budget end of the market (although Singapore has lots of beautiful budget hotels, which it'll have to compete with). It's currently being built on Beach Road, near Arab Street, and is gunning for an mid 2016 opening. There will be a pool, fitness center and meeting rooms, too.

Singapore Will Gleam Next Year With A Six Star Patina
Pretty sure this is the Patina
The scene: the breakfast buffet at the Sofitel So Singapore. The date: last Wednesday. The characters: a group of smartly dressed men and women having a business meeting. And us at the table next door, listening in.
We hadn't realized when we sat down, but these people were in the hotel industry – two of them seemed to be on a giant hotel of Asia (take us with you?), and they were discussing the scene. They talked about millennial hotels, they talked about HotelChatter (hi!) and then they started talking about Patina Hotels, a forthcoming brand for Singapore. So we googled. And Patina looks incredible.
Behind it all is the Kwee family from Singapore, who own Capella, the Conrad, the Regent and the Ritz-Carlton. The first, and flagship, property will be The Patina, Capitol Singapore, part of a $750 redevelopment project of the old Capitol movie theater (Singapore's first) on Stamford Road, and designed by Richard Meier (yes, the Richard Meier) and Jaya International Design.

Ta-Ta Traders, Hello Jen Hotels!
Shangri-La Hotels is doing away with their business traveler brand, Traders Hotels, and replacing it with a newer, hipper, brand aimed at Millennials called, Hotel Jen. Here's what Jen is about:
The Hotel Jen brand is inspired by the virtual persona Jen, a professional hotelier who loves life, travel and the adventure of discovering new places. Hotel Jen takes care of guests with efficiency and care, while also giving them informed access to the best a particular destination has to offer.
Stress-free ease and simplicity will be reflected in the overall Hotel Jen stay experience through the informal and friendly check-in, stay, check-out and on-going contact. A sense of belonging will be reflected through a brand persona concept that positions guests as "friends of Jen," with a caring and respectful service standard communicated by staff in an enthusiastic, helpful and engaging way.
The Hotel Jen "informed and friendly" service style will also guide guests to the best of where they are, through local restaurant recommendations, under-the-radar sights and unusual boutiques. The Hotel Jen team will be a guest's own personal local lifestyle guide.
(Note: Jen is not to be confused with Marriott's imagined Millennial traveler, Jia.)

Mattress Firm Holding Corp. (NASDAQ: MFRM), a leading retailer of mattresses and accessories in the United States, announced that it is reaffirming and tightening its adjusted diluted earnings per share (EPS) range guidance for the second fiscal quarter ending July 31, 2012 to be $0.38 to $0.40 per share, or $0.27 to $0.29 on a GAAP basis, on revised anticipated net sales in the range of $260 million to $265 million. The Company is also raising its adjusted EPS range for the full fiscal year ending January 29, 2013, which is now expected to be $1.65 to $1.71, or $1.48 to $1.52 on a GAAP basis, on revised anticipated net sales in the range of $1.01 billion to $1.03 billion. The difference between adjusted and GAAP EPS solely reflects the costs related to the recent acquisition of Mattress Giant by the Company. These acquisition costs remain consistent with the Company's prior guidance. Additionally, comparable-store sales for the full fiscal year ending January 29, 2013 are now expected to experience a percentage increase in the high single digits over the prior fiscal year.
Steve Stagner, Mattress Firm's President and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are making significant progress integrating approximately 180 stores that we added in May 2012 from the recent acquisition of Mattress Giant and are pleased with the results in the acquired stores. This acquisition has accelerated our strategy of increasing relative market share in a number of key markets in Texas and Florida. Since January 2011 through the end of the first fiscal quarter ended May 1, 2012, we have opened or acquired approximately 340 stores (including the acquired Mattress Giant stores), representing approximately 58% growth in the Company's store base. We believe our ability to reaffirm and raise our earnings expectations in light of the downward pressures on sales experienced during the second fiscal quarter reflects our ability to positively impact our cash flows and earnings through our flexible operating model. We are also pleased that sales during the key Memorial Day and July 4 th holidays met the Company's expectations. We remain committed to executing on our growth strategies, which include continuing to selectively expand our store base in underpenetrated markets and providing our customers with great brands to drive our growth, further strengthening our position as the largest specialty bedding retailer in country."

Kentucky has announced that forward Willie Cauley-Stein is out after undergoing a `minor procedure' on his left knee. The 7-foot freshman did not practice Friday before the Wildcats (11-5, 2-1) departed for Saturday night's Southeastern Conference game at Auburn. Kentucky spokesman DeWayne Peevy would not say if Cauley-Stein had surgery, but said the freshman's availability for Saturday is uncertain after Thursday's procedure. Kentucky coach John Calipari said Cauley-Stein's injury was an old one that he could have been played through, but the coaching staff decided to ''play it safe'' and address the injury now. Cauley-Stein had started the Wildcats' last five games and is averaging 7.6 points and 5.8 rebounds in nearly 21 minutes per game this season. His 31 blocks rank third in the SEC. .

Have you tried switching your router off and on again and then connecting by ethernet?
Are your network drivers up to date - check in device manager.
You could try resetting the Internet Protocol by using the Fix it in this article.
If this doesn't work delete your network from available networks then connect your pc by ethernet cable to the router and go through the process again.
There may be a chance that your antivirus is blocking access. You could try temporarily disabling this while you try to connect.

The lab overseen by Sebastien Bouret, PhD, is part of the Neuroscience program at The Saban Research Institute of Children's Hospital. He is an assistant professor of Pediatrics at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California.
"One theory explaining obesity is called perinatal programming," said Dr. Bouret. "Perinatal programming refers to the effect of specific events, that occur during gestation and soon after birth, on lifelong health. Nutrition during pregnancy appears to have an important impact on obesity, with both maternal obesity and maternal malnutrition increasing the incidence of obesity and type 2 diabetes in babies born to these mothers."
Dr. Brent Polk, director of The Saban Research Institute and chair of the Department of Pediatrics said, "On behalf of the Department of Pediatrics and The Saban Research Institute, I congratulate Drs. Mittelman, Mascarenhas and Bouret on this important recognition of their respective contributions to pediatric oncology and obesity, two devastating conditions affecting children today. Their acknowledgement, by membership in the Society for Pediatric Research, also underlines the quality of overall research we are doing in pediatrics at Children's Hospital Los Angeles and at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California."

David Booth met the Vancouver media for the first time since his surprising trade to the Canucks on Saturday. Let's just say it was a far cry from an attention standpoint than any interview he did in Florida.
"No, maybe for the Miami Dolphins, but not for the Florida Panthers," Booth joked.
Much was made over the weekend about Booth reportedly shedding some tears when he was told of the news. Inevitably, the jokes about tears of joy for leaving Florida poured in, but Booth explained why it was so tough for him to hear he was leaving Florida.
"It was an emotional time for me," Booth said. "I live with my brother down in Florida and it's hard to leave him. He's one year younger than me and I grew up my whole life with him.
"It was tough to say goodbye and it is going to be tough for a while.
"I am very close to my family. My dad was down there, too, for the weekend and I'm glad he was. It was good to see him. I have another brother and I am very close with him. My little sister is 16 and a hockey player and she wears No. 7. That's why I chose to be No. 7."
One thing that will help him adapt will be some familiar faces in Vancouver, particularly those who he'll be sharing a line with. Booth goes way back with Ryan Kesler as the two played together growing up in the Detroit area. The other member of his line, Chris Higgins, spent time with the Panthers last season before he, too, was traded to Vancouver. Add in Byron Bitz, Alexander Sulzer and Keith Ballard -- all of whom had stints in Florida recently -- and Booth rightfully joked that if he began the season in Vancouver, he probably would have known more teammates there than in Florida.
As for why he thought he was traded from Florida, where he seemed to be a franchise cornerstone?
"I know they're turning around the organization. It takes some time. [GM Dale Tallon] has his way of doing things and I wasn't part of it. That's all right. You can't please everybody. ... There are 28 other teams I could've went to. I'm glad I came here."
For those counting at home, that leaves Stephen Weiss as the only player who played significant time with the Panthers during the 2008-09 season.
Booth is scheduled to make his debut with the Canucks on Tuesday night in Edmonton.

Winter in the Swiss Alps with Cathy and Ken

Click on each image you wish to see larger, we want you to spend time enjoying, dreaming of how YOU want to marry. Where ? Make it nontraditional ! you can host a reception once home and show your photos of your symbolic wedding in Switzerland.
Long, blue, spiky-edged shadows crept out across the snow-fields, while a rosy glow, at first scarce discernible, gradually deepened and suffused every mountain-top, flushing the glaciers and the harsh crags above them. This was the alpine glow, to me the most impressive of all the terrestrial manifestations of God. At the touch of this divine light, the mountains seemed to kindle to a rapt, religious consciousness, and stood hushed like devout worshipers waiting to be blessed."
― John Muir, The Wild Muir: Twenty-Two of John Muir's Greatest Adventures
"The greatest gift of life on the mountain is time. Time to think or not think, read or not read, scribble or not scribble — to sleep and cook and walk in the woods, to sit and stare at the shapes of the hills. I produce nothing but words; I consumer nothing but food, a little propane, a little firewood. By being utterly useless in the calculations of the culture at large I become useful, at last, to myself."
― Philip Connors, The Best American Nonrequired Reading 2009
The famous Zen parable about the master for whom, before his studies, mountains were only mountains, but during his studies mountains were no longer mountains, and afterward mountains were again mountains could be interpreted as an alleory about [the perpetual paradox that when one is closest to a destination one is also the farthest)."
― Rebecca Solnit, Wanderlust: A History of Walking
