IPL-3 auctions to be held tomorrow in Mumbai
HYDERABAD: New Zealand's just-retired fast bowler Shane Bond, Pakistani Abdul Razzak, Caribbean pace sensation Kemar Roach and his teammate, big-hitting Kieron Pollard are on the radar of Deccan Chargers to recruit through auction for the third edition of the Indian Premier League (March 12 to April 25).
The defending champion is clearly gunning for a fast bowler as a replacement for Fidel Edwards whose availability is doubtful for the full IPL season given his national commitments.
The auction is scheduled on Tuesday in Mumbai and is to be telecast live on ESPN. "Since the flamboyant Dwayne Smith is already there to bolster the batting and with Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds certainties, we would like to go in for a fast bowler. Since Zimbabwe is touring West Indies around the same time Fidel is likely unavailable for the entire IPL," says a top official of the Chargers.
"With both Chamara Silva and Nuwan Zoysa out of Chargers' camp, only two more foreign cricketers can be taken. Or else, given the choice, Kemar Roach who floored Ricky Ponting with a left-elbow injury recently in the Perth Test at 146kmph should have been an automatic choice," he remarked.
T20 tourney
The Chargers has also scheduled a DC Twenty-20 Cup tournament next week with a winner's prize of Rs. 1 lakh besides a 'player of the series' award of Rs. 25,000. The event features besides Chargers, three Hyderabad teams (seniors, under-22 and under-19), Orissa and Andhra.

"VANISH Magazine: professional contributors,
It is a crime that this magazine is free. This is better laid out and better content than many of the paid magazines out there. There is no reason anyone who has an interest in magic on any level is not reading this. In this day of age of "everything comes with a price," this is unbelievable."
"I think VANISH should be AKA ' Glue' – You
"VANISH magazine somehow manages to bridge the gap, ushering in the future of Magic while honouring it's past."
"VANISH isn't just a magazine you casually read and then toss aside. In a single month, VANISH magazine has more practical advice for working magicians than all the other magic magazines combined. If it were offered as a print edition, VANISH would find a respected place of honor on my bookshelf (and not hidden under my mattress like all those other magazines)."
The internet has already had a major impact on how magicians find and access information, and now the International digital magic publication VANISH has embraced these changes bringing us the new fabulous magic magazine

I hate a seven year old, HATE the kid. My dh is pretty awful. We shouldn't be married. His daughter to him as always been like royalty.
It's like this child is much too special to even be spoken of unless you're down on knees praying while you speak. He had to learn to love OUR child, but we'll always know that his daughter is pure gold. You'd think butterflies would spray outta her ass to hear him speak of her. The kid hates my 5 y.o. Is so jealous of her. My 5 yo. doesn't have an active father, she isn't close to my dh either. It's not like my 5y.o is stealing this kids daaaaddddy, cuz my daughter doesn't even care for dh much.I've found myself wanting to smack the shit out of the kid if she so much looks at my daughter wrong.
My dhs shit started first. I liked the child at first, I welcomed her. Then the royalty kid shit started. Then dh started putting the kid above our child together (17 months now)
My hate has grown. It grows more and more everyday. I can't stand to even hear the kids name. I begin to shake and feel faint when her name is even mentioned.
I freaking hate her existance. I wished dh had the brat sewn to his ass, so he'd be happy.
I'm going to go insane ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Foiljet MR1 hydrofoil: the motocross bike for water
Foiljet MR1 Concept
Foiljet MR1 Concept
Foiljet MR1 Concept proposed specs
Article Summary
The Foiljet MR1 is a new personal watercraft concept that takes the best features of a motocross bike and jetski, throws in two hydrofoils plus a silent, energy efficient electric motor to create what would have to be a surefire recipe for outrageous fun. The design looks something like a motocross bike, but instead of wheels there are beams with small hydrofoil wings mounted at the ends that can be raised or lowered. The concept would use a 15 kW (20 hp) electric motor housed at the end of the rear beam with its instant electric torque lifting the craft out of the water to become "foil borne".

An efficient incremental face annotation for large scale web services

This paper proposes an incremental face annotation framework for sharing and publishing photographs which contain faces under a large scale web platform such as a social network service with millions of users. Unlike the conventional face recognition environment addressed by most existing works, the image databases being accessed by the large pool of users can be huge and frequently updated. A reasonable way to efficiently annotate such huge databases is to accommodate an adaptation of model parameters without the need to retrain the model all over again when new data arrives. In this work, we are particularly interested in the following issues related to increment of data: (i) the huge number of images being added at each instant, (ii) the large number of users joining the web each day, and (iii) the large number of classification systems being added at each period. We propose an efficient recursive estimation method to handle these data increment issues. Our experiments on several databases show that our proposed method achieves an almost constant execution time with comparable accuracy relative to those state-of-the-art incremental versions of principal component analysis, linear discriminant analysis and support vector machine.

Regarding the Sept. 4 story "Pet Mistakenly Euthanized," I am a volunteer at the Escambia County Animal Shelter. I would like to say that from my experience, Escambia County is blessed to have this shelter. There is a tremendous amount of good going on there.
Last month alone, some 300 animals were placed in "forever homes." Imagine that!
This could not have been done without the dedicated, compassionate group who serve our county there.
Perhaps this is an opportune time to invite others to join me in volunteering at the shelter. You will see how the entire process works, how they go above and beyond to ensure that the animals get the care they need, as well as the effort that is put forth to ensure that they are matched with families that will provide loving homes for them.
I guarantee that you will "get more than you give." Call 595-3075.

Thank you
I want to thank the people who stopped to help my son, Shawn, when he was in a skateboarding accident. My son was riding his long board on the sidewalk on Dogwood in Milton with a couple of his friends when he lost control and crashed his board.
Several people stopped, but one young couple obtained his phone, called my husband and awaited with him, shielding him from the heat and assisting with first aid until we arrived. My son suffered several injuries requiring a brief visit to the Emergency Room.
In my panic to get him looked at, I forgot to get your name but I want to thank you and my son's friends for staying with them. Thank you so much.

Political spin
In the years of reading letters to the editor, I thought I had read the worst of the worst.
I was wrong. The letter from John T. Reading Sr. ("Dismantling the civil rights" Letters, Sept. 4) set a new standard. It was the most ridiculous, inane piece of trash ever.
If he was writing about the U.S., every paragraph contained political spin, conjecture and sometimes downright falsehoods. To paraphrase a statement made by one of the best presidents we have ever had, "It's not that (fill in the blank) are ignorant, it's just that they know so much that's not true."

It was good but very crowded and the food took a long time. Food was good though
July 26, 2012
I love the food at Nobu I do go their a lot for dinner, not only in Miami Beach but also in New York City, I love the restaurant, the only thing I don't like on the one in Miami beach is that we seat to close to others with no privacy,…
April 28, 2012
Both the food and service were excellent. I would highly recommend the ceviche and the chef's sushi sampler. It was expensive, but worth a try if you haven't been.

What advice would you give someone starting this project? This is a fairly simple pattern to follow. Since I was knitting them for charity, exact size was not an issue. Every hat will find a home and fit someone. I had read that others found the hat ran a little small, so I cast on 80 stitches, although the pattern includes casting on 70 stitches.
Hi Luise, The pattern can be found on Ravelry here:http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/felicity
hope to find and knit this beautiful hat for my friend who has cancer xxo
I would like to make this for knitting
Very nice!
Do you have knitting patterns for sweaters in toddlers size. Very nice site.

Many of us struggle silently with mental health problems and many more are affected by them, either directly or indirectly. It's {Geek} Mental Help Week and we would like to help raise awareness with a couple of articles exploring these issues. – Ed.
Where is it?! It has to be here somewhere. It use to be so easy. What happened? Somewhere, somewhere, somewhere. That idea is somewhere. It's here, it has to be. This is where I've always found it. But there's nothing. The only shapes I find here are well worn and boring, dints still obvious even with fresh paint. Oh so boring. So boring and so often used because they're just "fine." Too easily used. Too easily reached for and offered up as if they were new again.
Didn't this used to be easy? Didn't fresh ideas arrive without being asked for? Why did I have to wait until the last moment to even notice, wait until moments before these old dented ideas have to be presented?Read more...

Phillies put MVP shortstop Rollins on 15-day DL
PHILADELPHIA (AP) -Jimmy Rollins the MVP has two more capital letters next to his name: DL.
Rollins was placed on the 15-day disabled list Sunday for the first time in his eight-year career because of a sprained left ankle, nearly two weeks after last year's NL MVP was hurt running the bases against the Mets.
''It has gotten a lot better, but it isn't getting better from this point,'' Rollins said before the Phillies played New York.
Rollins hurt the ankle on April 8 against the Mets, but seemed to believe another day's rest was all he needed to return to the lineup. Instead, their switch-hitting shortstop made no starts and had only four pinch-hit appearances since he was injured. He grounded out against Duaner Sanchez on Saturday and that worsened the ankle.
''In retrospect, of course it was a mistake'' to not immediately put him on the DL, Phillies assistant general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said. ''But you can only go on how the guy feels.''
Rollins is batting .308 with two doubles, two home runs, six RBIs and two stolen bases.
Rollins played in all 162 regular-season games last season, leading Philadelphia to the NL East title and its first playoff berth since 1993. He batted .296 with 30 homers, 94 RBIs, 20 triples, 41 stolen bases and an NL-high 139 runs.
''I kept thinking he might be able to play,'' Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said. ''He kept having pain, especially when he'd go to his left.''
The 29-year-old Rollins said he had no regrets about his attempts to keep playing. But he realized his uncertain status was putting Manuel in a tough position to manage a roster with possibly one less available bench player.
''Not being able to go out there and be useful was the ultimate decision,'' Rollins said. ''I put my pride aside and decided that was the best thing to do.''
The Phillies are 4-6 without Rollins. He will go to Florida this week for rehab.
Eric Bruntlett started his 11th straight game at shortstop and entered Sunday batting .179 with one home run and RBI. He's the first Phillies shortstop besides Rollins to start 10 straight games since Tomas Perez did it in 2000.
The Phillies also placed outfielder Chris Snelling (left knee inflammation) on the disabled list.
The Phillies recalled infielder Brad Harman from Double-A Reading and outfielder T.J. Bohn from Triple-A Lehigh Valley.

A-Rod leaves Sunday's game with quad injury
BALTIMORE (AP) — Alex Rodriguez hit an RBI double and scored before leaving with a leg injury, and the New York Yankees ended a three-game losing streak by beating the Baltimore Orioles 7-1 on a rainy Sunday.
Andy Pettitte pitched seven scoreless innings, Johnny Damon homered and Derek Jeter had a three-run double as the Yankees avoided their first three-game sweep in Baltimore since 2005. New York dodged its first four-game skid since last July.
Rodriguez strained his right quadriceps while running out a grounder in the sixth inning. The All-Star third baseman was listed as day-to-day, and he will have an extra day to recover because the Yankees are off Monday.
Earlier, Rodriguez provided Pettitte with all the offense he needed to win his third straight start.
Pettitte (3-1) was the ideal pitcher for a Yankees team that needed a win to get back to .500. The left-hander retired the first 14 batters and ended up yielding only four hits in improving to 23-6 lifetime against Baltimore, including 14-4 at Camden Yards. He struck out five and walked none.
Joba Chamberlain gave up a run in the eighth, only the second earned run he's allowed in 30 1-3 career innings.
The Yankees were 1-for-16 with runners in scoring position during the series before breaking the trend in the fourth inning against Steve Trachsel (1-3). Bobby Abreu walked and stole second before Rodriguez and Hideki Matsui hit successive doubles for a 2-0 lead.
After slumping Jason Giambi bounced into a double play with one out and the bases loaded in the sixth, Damon connected with a man on in the seventh against Chad Bradford — only the second home run off the submariner in a 138-game span.
The Orioles' first baserunner was Jay Payton, who reached with two outs in the fifth on a broken-bat dribbler down the third-base line that was too slow to even warrant a throw from Rodriguez. Adam Jones followed with a single up the middle, but Pettitte retired Guillermo Quiroz on a fly to center.
Brian Roberts reached third with one in the sixth but was stranded, and Kevin Millar was left on after hitting a leadoff double in the seventh.
Chamberlain gave up two hits without getting an out before rain stopped the game for 37 minutes. When play was resumed, Roberts hit a sacrifice fly off Brian Bruney to make it 4-1.
Jeter's third extra-base hit of the year, off George Sherrill in the ninth, came before a second rain delay of 37 minutes.
Notes:@ Pettitte struck out Nick Markakis three times. ... Jones made three outstanding catches in center, including a diving stab of a liner by Jeter in the seventh. ... Giambi went 0-for-3 with a walk and is 5-for-46 (.109) this season.

Reds put David Weathers on DL
April 20, 2008
CINCINNATI (AP) -Right-hander David Weathers went on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a sore arm, forcing the Cincinnati Reds to shuffle the back of their bullpen.
Weathers got a burning sensation near his right elbow when he threw a pitch Saturday during a 5-3, 10-inning loss to Milwaukee. The 38-year-old reliever left the game immediately as a precaution. Tests found no serious injury.
Doctors said he has an irritated nerve in the elbow.
The move opens the way for the Reds to activate right-hander Matt Belisle from the disabled list to start on Monday night against the Dodgers. Belisle replaces right-hander Josh Fogg, who was moved into the bullpen after he struggled in three starts.
Weathers was the Reds' most durable reliever last season, when he saved a career-high 33 games and threw 77 2-3 innings. He became the oldest pitcher in major league history to reach 30 saves for the first time.
Eleven of his saves involved pitching more than one inning. Only Seattle's J.J. Putz had more one-inning-plus saves.
``He's been used a lot,'' manager Dusty Baker said. ``The guy's been on the DL one time in all those years. That's pretty good durability.''
Weathers hadn't been on the disabled list since 2000, when he had a strained muscle in his side. His only other significant injury involved a cut on his pitching hand in 1995.
When the Reds signed closer Francisco Cordero to a four-year, $46 million deal in the offseason, Weathers became the primary set-up man. Right-hander Jared Burton can assume a bigger role while Weathers is gone.
The Reds had lost seven of eight heading into their game Sunday against Milwaukee. Baker thought it best to put Weathers on the disabled list and let him fully recover even if it left the struggling Reds without their set-up man for two weeks.
``We've got five months to go,'' Baker said. ``We can't let the way we're going affect our decision.''

Astros place LHP Wandy Rodriguez on the 15-day DL
April 20, 2008
HOUSTON (AP) -The Houston Astros placed left-handed pitcher Wandy Rodriguez on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with a strained left groin.
Houston purchased the contract of left-hander Tim Byrdak from Triple-A Round Rock. The Astros also announced that right-hander Jack Cassel will be recalled to start Thursday at Cincinnati.
Rodriguez pitched four innings Saturday night against Colorado before leaving with the injury. He allowed two runs, one earned, on five hits. He struck out five and walked three.
``He was a little sore this morning,'' manager Cecil Cooper said. ``It's a disappointment because he was pitching so well. It had bothered him the last couple of starts and (Saturday) he didn't wrap it like he had been.''
Rodriguez is 1-0 with a 2.31 ERA in three starts.
``It's disappointing,'' Rodriguez said through an interpreter. ``But it's better this way. I don't want to make it worse.''
General manager Ed Wade did not think the injury would be a long-term problem.
``I've had no indication from (Astros head trainer) Dave Labossiere (on that),'' Wade said. ``He's been pitching great and navigating through whatever mild discomfort he had so our anticipation is after 15 days he'll be ready to go.''
Byrdak had a 3.68 ERA in seven appearances for Round Rock. He was 3-0 with one save and a 3.20 ERA in 39 appearances for Detroit last season. He's 4-5 with three saves and a 5.50 ERA in 144 career appearances.
Cassel is 1-1 with a 2.50 ERA in three starts for Round Rock this season. His first year in the major leagues was 2007, when he went 1-1 with a 3.97 ERA in six games with San Diego.

A's place RHP reliever Foulke on DL with stiff neck
April 20, 2008
OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) -The Oakland Athletics put right-hander Keith Foulke on the 15-day disabled list Sunday with stiffness in his neck.
Foulke has one save and a 2.57 ERA in seven appearances this season, but hasn't pitched since April 10. The move was retroactive to April 11.
The 35-year-old Foulke came out of retirement in February to sign a $700,000, one-year contract to return to the A's. The deal allows him to earn up to $2.5 million in bonuses. Before this year, the former A's closer last pitched for the Boston Red Sox in 2006.
This is the sixth time this season the A's have used the DL. In 2007, the team used it 22 times to tie an Oakland record.

Singapore Airlines, Singapore
9 Reviews
9 Reviews
Of course it is a long way from Germany to Singapore and there are much ways-
but the best way for me-
in remembering -
was to travel with Singapore Airways-
maybe cause with the first step at airfield Frankfurt inside in the Airplane
seems a feeling of the special atmosphere of Singapore.
Same together from the tourist informations, the special food and a friendly and good service in the long time onboard- even while crossing periods of difficult weather, so sometimes is in the gulf of Bengal.
Usually is able some get juice or snacks between the meals in the dark time when the cabin light is off. Here at Photo short after Start in Frankfurt in late summer 2006 , just over the ice of Alpes.
At the second photo you see it is a good travelling- even after 10 hours - the Singapore Airways stewardess just offer the breakfast with tea, coffee, juice or (Singapore) Tiger beer.. very good.
Last photo: Short before landing in Singapore in sunrise - It was midnight time in Germany..
By the way, for comparing distances of flight seats etc.: http://www.seatguru.com/
Singapore Airlines is the flag carrier of Singapore and one of the best airlines in the world.
Having flown many airlines over the years they are among the 3 best airlines i have flown.
The service on board is really good and the staff always very attending in their elegant dresses.
Planes are very comfortable and i have mostly flown on their Boing 777 which i really like.
They serva dozens of destinations to and from singapore and despite being one of the worlds best airlines they are not always that expensive and i have gooten some very good deals with them over the years.
Singapore Airlines is one of the Great Airlines of the World and one of the keys of being A Great Airline unfortunately is being partly or heavily Subsidized by their national governments and Singapore Airlines is one such Airline (In Asia, only the Philippines don't give subsidies to its National Airline). Singapore Airlines was formerly Malayan Airways Limited and Started Operations in 1947 but in 1972, it split into Singapore Airlines and Malaysian Airlines. Obviously its hub is in Changi Airport and flies to 65 destinations in 35 countries on five continents. Singapore Airlines operates a wide-body aircraft fleet from four aircraft families: the Boeing 747, the Boeing 777, Airbus A380 and the Airbus A340 and also has a subsidiary, Silk Airlines, a budget regional carrier serving secondary routes.
Address Changi Airport Terminal 2
Unit 026-023/024
Departure Hall
Singapore 918141
Operating Hours Daily: 0600 hours to 0030 hours
We had a terrible time with the airline . I booked and paid months in advance using a credit card . We were denied boarding even though we had Passports and Birth certificates and my husbands identical credit card . We had to buy another ticket on a much later flight for more money!! The airline wouldn't or couldn't do anything for us. I'll never fly with them again.
Funny on the return trip , they didn't even ask to look at our credit card ...passport was enough!!
If you plan to travel to Singapore with kids, I think Singapore Airlines is one of the best option because It has a very good personal in-flight entertainment. You can watch movies, listen to music, play games from your seat. The best thing is it's free even for Economy Class passengers !. The movies are good , they have some latest released ones. The music is also good because there are a lot of channels to choose from depending on your taste. The games are OK. The young kids will like the games and the teenages will like to watch the movies or listen to music. Otherwise how can you keep your kids entertain during the long flight !
I was surprised to find that Singapore Air had the cheapest prices for airfare when I needed to book a flight. I had heard so many great things about the airline, so this suprised me, but from San Francisco this was common.
The flight attendants all looked and acted as if they knew the airlines reputation, walking very confidently and proud. The plane was nice and new, the seats fairly comfortable and I had enough room to stretch out...and this was in coach.
The biggest differences to me were the food, and the entertainment system. I didn't even think that the food would be different from the ususal airline food, but I was quite pleased. We had Korean short ribs w/steamed veggies and noodles for one meal. I had the Hindu breakfast for the morning meal; it had lentils, veggie curry, papadams and naan. On the flight back, I had the Korean ribs again.
The entertainment system kept me sane on the 18 hour flight. Each passenger gets a remote control, a guidebook, and a personal video screen.
There were almost 30 movie channels, with a large selection of Asian movies, plus TV channels, interactive video, games, and nintendo. And you control all of these with your remote. You start and stop shows when you want. You can pause movies too. It was great.
My economy ticket with Singapore Airlines clearly stated that my baggage allowance was 20kgs. On calling the airline I was told that they would allow 25kgs, which was good, since I had bought a lot of stuff. On check-in my bags turned out to be 29kgs...ouch!...at 80NZ dollars per kg (I had checked that too) this was a small shock. Then...phew!...it turned out that they allowed up to 30kgs...at the discretion of the check-in attendant. So I wouldn't want to count on that, say, if the plane is smack full, but it's worth knowing.
P.S. This was on a flight from Christchurch, NZ to Singapore, August 2004.
If you go to Singapore, get in the the right mood from the start by flying there with Singapore Airlines. It's worth every cent, and if you do some research on the Internet some time ahead and if you don't get tired of trying endless combinations of outbound and return flights, you are likely to hit a good deal, even in economy class.
First, there's legroom, lots of it, unless you happen to sit at the seat that has the box for the video on demand in front of it. On my 12h flight from Frankfurt time simply flew by as I watched and endless arry of movies, listen to music of all kinds and played video games. Comfy seats (first time I ever slept on a plane without having my neck twisted).
For starters, a hot wet towel. Real cloth, not paper tissue.
Drinks, generously poured, not just one round.
Dinner: Go for the Asian choice, don't even consider the other option. You will be rewarded.
More generously poured drinks.
Throughout the night, chilled water to keep you from dehydrating, and even a mid-flight snack: sandwich.
Before breakfast, another wet towel.
Breakfast: a superbly done meal, say no more.
Arrival at Changi: Very efficient: the baggage was already waiting by the short time (15 mins max) I spent walking through customs to the conveyor belt.
And no immigration hassles. No lines, a quick machine-read of my passport, a smile and a "Have a great stay in Singapore".
So all in all, if you want to fly like a person and be treated like one, choose SIA. If you're a cheapskate and want to be herded like cattle, choose anything else.
OK, for the sake of fairness, there are a few more airlines that do it as good as or maybe better than SIA, but not many.
If I ever go back to S'pore, and I will, I promise, I'll definitely choose SIA again.
I had been told how Singapore Airline is fantastic for it's quality of service... well no one exagerated...they're really the best.
JAL, Cathay, Thai are not bad either but of all the European, North American and Asian airline i took, they're the one who has the best service. No big line up. Decent price. First class service even if you're in Economy.
They also have the prettiest flight attendant in the world but i don't want to think about it... I'll start crying on my next flight intra-USA...

KWAME HOLMAN: After a five-month investigation, a House select committee– five Republicans and four Democrats– reached its conclusions unanimously and released them today in a 900- page report.
It found: China's penetration of four U.S. national laboratories spans at least the last several decades and almost certainly continues today. Those laboratories are Lawrence Livermore, Los Alamos, Sandia, and Oak Ridge. China stole design information on all seven thermonuclear warheads currently deployed in the U.S. arsenal, including its most advanced, the W-88. It will exploit elements of those designs in its next generation of weapons. China also obtained missile and space technology from U.S. companies that improved its military and intelligence operations.
When the committee began its investigation last summer, it focused primarily on allegations of the transfer of missile technology to the Chinese by two U.S. companies, Hughes Electronics and Loral Space and Communications. In 1996, a Loral-Hughes satellite aboard a Chinese rocket was lost when the rocket exploded shortly after liftoff. In an attempt, they said, to prevent future accidents, Loral and Hughes shared technical information with the Chinese, but without getting the required approval of the State Department.
The committee's investigation then went on to examine alleged Chinese espionage at U.S. laboratories. Two months ago, Wen Ho Lee, a scientist at Los Alamos National Laboratory in New Mexico, was fired. Lee has been accused of transferring large amounts of classified nuclear technology information from a highly secure computer at Los Alamos to a much more accessible computer network. Though an FBI investigation continues, Lee has not been charged with a crime.
In its report today, the committee made 38 recommendations to the administration, notably that it implement counterintelligence programs at the national laboratories, strengthen export controls of sensitive technology to other countries, and have the Defense Department monitor launches of U.S. satellites in other countries. The Clinton administration says it already has implemented many of the committee's recommendations.
JIM LEHRER: And to the chairman of the House committee, Christopher Cox, Republican of California, and the ranking Democrat, Norman Dicks, of the state of Washington. Congressmen, welcome. Congressman Cox, are the Chinese the main villains in this story?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: Well, of course our select committee focused exclusively on technology transfer from the United States to the People's Republic of China. And so the one question that we're really ill-equipped to answer is relatively how this fits into geopolitics, for example, but what we can tell you is that the extent of the espionage that we uncovered is without precedent. This is more than any other country has been able successfully to walk off with from the United States and that is a happy thing but it's a very unhappy thing that the PRC got it at all. And so while a great deal of the focus of our report is on what went wrong on the U.S. side, would I not be willing to let the People's Republic of China off the hook and say everybody does it because no other country has gotten this much. And particularly we have to be concerned when we know the purpose of their thefts is the design of weapons that are going to be pointed at the United States.
JIM LEHRER: Congressman Dicks, would you agree the major failure here or the major cause of this, what you all found, was more overt acts committed by China than by stupidity or incompetence by people in the United States Government?
REP. NORM DICKS: No, I think it's quite the contrary. I believe that the real primary fault here rests with the failure in counterintelligence at our national labs. Now I can't excuse the Chinese for what they did, but they took advantage of us not doing our job. That's why, when I saw how serious this was last fall, I went to Bill Richardson and I told him "You have got to implement the recommendations that Ed Curran who is going to be in charge of the Office of Counterintelligence is making because we have to strengthen counterintelligence at these labs." The Chinese should never have gotten this information.
JIM LEHRER: No matter how badly they wanted it, no matter whether they were willing to do anything to get it, they shouldn't have been able to get it because the U.S. — if the U.S. Government had been doing its job properly – that's what you're saying?
REP. NORM DICKS: That's my view. And I think the most important thing we can do in the near term is get in place this counterintelligence program that started, frankly, with the President signing a Presidential Decision Directive Number 61 in February of 1998. And it took several months to implement it, but Richardson has done it. And I think we're moving in the right direction.
JIM LEHRER: And, yet Congressman Cox you said today at the news conference, these thefts were still going on as far as you know?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: We have to be very, very concerned, because while we have a good deal of information about what was stolen, we don't know in many of the cases how it went out the door. And when we conduct an inventory of the ways it might have left, for example, in national laboratories, which is one of the places that these thefts have occurred, we find it could be any of a number of ways. And that is why even today when we can say that we have improved our counterintelligence over the last few months, we're still talking in percentage terms. Next year sometime in the year 2000, according to Ed Curran at the Department of Energy, we're going to have something sturdy in place. But even then, he said today, it's not going to be the best counterintelligence we could have. But we're going to have to still double our efforts to achieve that.
JIM LEHRER: Well, Congressman Cox, explain to us why that is so difficult to keep our secrets? Why is it going to take so long? Why has this not been corrected before now?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: It ought not to have been so difficult. It ought to have been corrected before now. There have been a number of efforts made over the years to deal with counterintelligence at the national laboratories, for example. But I want to add that our report details espionage directed against our military technology, some of which is at the labs but it goes well beyond that. But the problem specifically at the laboratories has been that they have resisted Department of Energy Control. And frankly, the Department of Energy hasn't imposed a heck of a lot of control over many years. Since 1995, when, as our report states, the full dimensions of the problem became known, the urgency really ought to have increased. Finally in 1998, as Congressman Dicks just said, we got this thing kickstarted and with the advent of our select committee in the summer of 1998, I think even though it was behind the scenes, we put a lot of pressure on the administration and on the Department of Energy to get this thing moving. And today it's moving. It's a good example of Congressional oversight working.
REP. NORM DICKS: Jim, can I just say — on this point?
JIM LEHRER: Sure.
REP. NORM DICKS: The reason it failed — there were two previous efforts, maybe even three, to strengthen counterintelligence at the lab. And yet they forgot to give them the money, the staffing, the resources, the mandate to get the job done.
JIM LEHRER: Who's "they" Congressman?
REP. NORM DICKS: This is the officials who are trying to put this program into place and the people from the FBI who were given the responsibility were not given direct access to the Secretary of Energy's office. And one thing that Bill Richardson has done is accept Ed Curran's recommendation that he have direct access. And I intend with Congressman Sprat to introduce an amendment on the Defense Authorization Bill to make that a statutory fact, because I think if you're going to be able to get the Secretary involved, you have got to be able to walk into that door and say "We've got a problem. I need your help."
JIM LEHRER: Well, Congressman Dicks, do you agree with Congressman Cox that as we sit here tonight, it's possible that the Chinese are still stealing our nuclear secrets?
REP. NORM DICKS: Well, I hope not. I think tremendous improvements have been made since we finished our report back in January. And just yesterday I got a letter from Secretary Richardson and a phone call telling me that he believes that he can get this counterintelligence program in place before the start of the next fiscal year, which will be on October 1st. And they are working day and night out there to get this job done. So I know it's much tougher now to do things, but as the chairman said, until the plan is fully in place, we can't be assured that something isn't possible.
JIM LEHRER: Congressman Cox, do you believe that this is such a serious matter from the Chinese side of this story now, that the United States should reconsider its relationship in some way with China?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: Well, certainly we need to reconsider our own counterintelligence to begin with. Second, we need to reconsider and reconstruct our security relationship with the People's Republic of China because if we had a strategic partner, that strategic partner wouldn't be stealing us blind and then using the information to construct new weapons targeted at the United States. I don't think we should have any illusions about the Communist's Party security policy in that sense. But beyond that, there's nothing in our report that mandates a particular outcome when it comes to the bilateral relationship between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China. And I personally find it very easy to distinguish, for example, thermonuclear weapons, or missile technology, on the one hand, and commercial products on the other. I think it is in our national security interests to lower the trade barriers in the People's Republic of China and to have more commercial dealings with them provided that it's on fair terms.
JIM LEHRER: So you don't think there should be any recrimination of any kind against China for what they've been doing all these years if they in fact have been doing it?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: I don't know what you mean by recrimination. If we could lay our hands on one of the spies who was acting on behalf of the MSS and the People's Republic of China, we can prove that that person did it, I like to see them executed. And I think that's recriminations.
JIM LEHRER: Yes. Congressman Dicks.
REP. NORM DICKS: One thing I want to point out. This is very bad. They got information on the W-88, the D-5 warhead and on the W-70, which creates the neutron bomb. Now having said that, they tested their version of the W-70 back in 1988 and their version of the W-88 between 1992 and 1996. Now they've deployed it — they've tested it, but they've not yet deployed anything. So the chairman and I are watching to see what they are going to do with the information that they have received. And as you know, we have 6,000 nuclear warheads. They have about two dozen. So we have overwhelming nuclear superiority at this moment. But we're concerned about the fact that by gaining these secrets, they can improve their nuclear program if they so choose. And yet we've got to wait and see whether they are actually going to do it.
JIM LEHRER: Well, then, do you agree with Congressman Cox that there's nothing in this report, nothing that you found out that should change the basic relationship between the United States and China?
REP. NORM DICKS: Well, I think we have to have an honest, straightforward relationship with China. I believe in engagement. I think we need to work with these people. I don't want to see us go to a Cold War setting with China. I want us to continue to trade with them. But I think we have to make it clear that we disagree with them on human rights. We want to see them move towards democracy. And we shouldn't be afraid to have an honest, open relationship with them.
JIM LEHRER: Congressman Cox, how would you assess the threat China now poses to the United States as a result of these nuclear secrets that they now have that they wouldn't otherwise have had had it not been for all the things that you all have been talking about?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: We have to be concerned that since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been a marked and significant increase in military spending by the People's Liberation Army. They are already the largest standing army on earth but they were militarily backward in the technological area.
Now having acquired significant western technology, not only from the United States, but as we mentioned in our report, from Russia as well, we have to be very concerned that their missiles that they have a raid against Taiwan might be equipped with neutron warheads. We haven't deployed them but they stole that from us. We have to be concerned when they test later this year, as we expect they will, their new Intercontinental Ballistic Missile and then possibly deploy it in 2002, that that we judge that will have a nuclear warhead that is based on the stolen U.S. designs. These will be used to threaten U.S. forces in the region, our forces in Japan, our forces in Korea, our forces near the Taiwan Strait and, of course, we have a defensive cooperative relationship with Taiwan. So it is the regional picture that I think is very much affected by not only the nuclear weapons but also the anti-submarine technology, the insensitive high explosives, the array of information that has been stolen on military technology of all kinds that we have to concern ourselves with over the future.
One last point is that we have to worry about the People's Republic of China as a proliferator. We have, if not a government we approve of, a stable government in Beijing run by the Communist Party. But their track record as a proliferator, according to the Clinton administration, the world's number one proliferator of weapons of mass destruction technology, we have to be concerned that five years, ten years, fifteen years down the road from now, the information that until very recently we monopolized, the advanced nuclear weapons technology that we're talking about, is going to find its way into the hands of third world countries and rogue regimes that are much less stable and possibly more hostile to the interest of the United States.
JIM LEHRER: Congressman Dicks, clearly there is no way to put the secrets back in the bottle now. They have them, they have the capability. What do we do about this now?
REP. NORM DICKS: Well, I think what we do is take the recommendations that we've made in our report – President Clinton – I met with him with Chris – and he has said that he will implement the recommendations from our report. We need to also take some legislative steps. But beyond that, I think the most important thing is the United States must maintain a critical and capable strategic deterrent. And we have one today with those 6,000 warheads that I just mentioned. And they have 24. So I don't see a threat to the United States in the near term. I also think that we have to be careful about the regional situation as the chairman has mentioned, and also we must insist that China not be a proliferator. And of course they've signed the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty and other agreements saying they won't be a proliferator. But we have got to make certain that that happens.
JIM LEHRER: Congressman Cox, should some heads in the U.S. Government roll as a result of what you all know and found out and published today?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: Well, there is a great deal of finger pointing within the administration, the Secretary of State saying she wasn't told. The Secretary of Commerce we know was not told. And even though those are the two cabinet departments responsible for determining which militarily sensitive technology can be exported to the People's Republic of China, there is finger pointing from outside the administration looking in. A lot of that is based on who knew what when. With some exceptions, that's not what our committee investigated. In particular, we have precious little information about how the Department of Justice handled this because the Department of Justice didn't share that with us. One of our criticisms, frankly, is not only that the Justice Department did not facilitate our investigation, but also that they did not share information with the rest of the executive branch so that in many cases, people who should have known were left in the dark about national security matters which were treated exclusively as law enforcement matters.
REP. NORM DICKS: Jim, on this subject I believe Secretary Richardson has already said he is doing a disciplinary review in the Department of Energy. Clearly there were people in the Department of Energy who did not do their jobs and who obstructed the efforts to clean up the problem in counterintelligence. They should be disciplined. Now I don't favor, as Congressman Armey called for Sandy Berger to step down –I don't think that's appropriate nor do I think that Janet Reno should be forced to step down. None of us are pleased that we have not been able to catch the people who were involved in this espionage but I've served for eight years on the Intelligence Committee. These are very hard cases to prove in certain circumstances.
JIM LEHRER: Should Berger and Reno go, Congressman Cox?
REP. CHRISTOPHER COX: Well, as I say, in particular with respect to Janet Reno, the reasons that people are calling for her resignation, I take it, are that she was personally involved in the decision not to go to the court and ask for authority to wiretap Wen Ho Lee. But that information was developed by the Senate Intelligence Committee after we completed our investigation. And I've got the information secondhand. What we know about the Justice Department firsthand is that they were not forthcoming when we asked for information, as the intelligence community were, as the Pentagon was. And with respect to the national security advisor, I would just point out that the President told us in March that no one had told him about these things, notwithstanding our report was sent up there on January 3. If the President was leveling with us, then I think somebody was ill-serving him.
JIM LEHRER: All right. Gentlemen thank you both very much.

To Delete, or to Close?
FogBugz is built around the idea of capturing and tracking everything about your project. To that end, we've made some design decisions that might seem odd at first, but actually end up making a lot of sense. It's sort of like looking for the "off" button on your iPod. For an iPod, paused is the same as off.
A closed case is, for the purposes of issue tracking, the same as deleted. It no longer shows up in filters, it's not assigned to anyone. It can be found only by filtering for closed cases or by searching for text in it specifically. We've found that once people get used to the idea of just closing a case and moving on, it never comes up again, the same way you get used to not having to manually switch off your iPod.
Most often, the cases that people are looking to delete are the ones with the title "foo" or "test" that they put in when they were starting off with FogBugz. There are two options here. First, you can close and ignore the case. Other bugs will be filed, and soon those cases will be a distant memory. Or, you can install the Case Event Edit plug-in, which will allow you to repurpose those old cases for new uses.
For customers where there might be a security or privacy issue (such as a credit card number erroneously stored in a case), we recommend running FogBugz on your own server where you have full control over the database and can excise data as necessary.
If you truly need to remove information, then deleting data directly from the database is the only way. If you are using FogBugz on Demand and have accidentally placed sensitive data in your FogBugz account, then please contact us and we can help get that data removed.

At present only seven medical centres in Kerala provided haemophilia treatment
The State has about 1200 registered haemophiliacs but the numbers may be higher because there are many undetected cases, the Haemophilia Society has said.
Shortage of Haemophilia factor to be supplied externally, high cost of treatment, and poor financial capacity of patients made this genetically transmitted disorder a deadly disease, the society said on the occasion of World Haemophilia Day on Thursday.
The Haemophilia Society organised a patient awareness camp and discussion session on the disease and its management at Government Medical College Hospital, Kozhikode, to mark World Haemophilia Day.
At present only seven medical centres in Kerala — Government medical colleges in Thiruvananthapuram, Kozhikode, Thrissur, Kottayam, and Alappuzha besides District Hospitals at Aluva and Malappuram — provided haemophilia treatment.
The aim of the camp was to raise awareness about haemophilia, the diagnosis of the disease, and the treatments available for it. The State government was making consistent efforts to make available replacement therapy of factors to patients. Yet there was need for more funds, education, and training, it was said.
Continuous availability of haemophilia factors to patients by the State government could be a step to ensure that these patients got the best available care.
The next step would be to create more awareness about the disease and providing comprehensive psycho-social care mechanism.
A major challenge in treating haemophilia was the financial status of the patients.
An appeal was also made to the government to take immediate notice of the matter and to extend support to the patients who were dire need.
There was also a need to set up more day care centres with proper infrastructure and facilities.

I would be all for increasing the driver's age and/or graduated licenses if we have a decent public transportation infrastructure. It's pretty hard to get around without a car, and parents don't want to ferry their kids everywhere they want to go.
