Chinese thief of iPhone writes out 1,000 contacts, sends them to owner
Published on Nov 25, 2013 5:36 PM
BEIJING (AFP) - A Chinese thief painstakingly wrote out 11 pages of telephone numbers from a stolen iPhone and sent them to the owner, state media said on Monday.
The pickpocket is believed to have taken the Apple handset from Mr Zou Bin when they shared a taxi, the Xinhua news agency said.
Mr Zou had nearly 1,000 contact numbers in the device and with no backup copy - like millions of other people around the world - he was more concerned about losing the data than the phone itself, it added.
"I know you are the man who sat beside me. I can assure you that I will find you," he said in a text message to the thief.

National Cotton Council shrugs off trade sanctions against U.S.
WASHINGTON -- The National Cotton Council sought to put the best face on a World Trade Organization ruling Thursday that formally authorized Brazil to impose $147 million in trade sanctions in its long-fought case against U.S. cotton subsidies.
The Cordova-based council noted that the amount was far less than the $2.7 billion Brazil has sought, although additional trade sanctions for noncotton export credit guarantees are possible.
"The countermeasures related to the cotton portion of this dispute are only $147 million annually, they are fixed and they are well below what Brazil sought," NCC president Mark Lange said in a statement.
Brazil has claimed it could ask for hundreds of millions more, but Lange, in a teleconference Thursday afternoon with reporters, noted that the impact of the cotton program is limited.
Brazil said last week that it was readying a list of 222 export items that it would plan to impose higher trade duties on, including acetaminophen, textiles and barcode readers.
The WTO formally authorized Brazil to move forward with the sanctions at its meeting in Geneva on Thursday.
The NCC joined 34 other agricultural organizations in September in urging the U.S. trade representative's office to seek another panel to review U.S compliance with earlier rulings in light of changes to U.S. farm policy.
Lange said the NCC continues to seek a new compliance panel.
The USTR's office said last week that it was working with its counterparts in Brazil to identify a solution to the situation without Brazil resorting to countermeasures.
The case against American cotton subsidies began in September 2002 and was later joined by third-party countries, including Chad and Benin in Africa.
The dispute over U.S. upland cotton trade centered on the Step 2 program, an export subsidy program, and other American "price-contingent subsidies" that the WTO found significantly suppressed world cotton prices and harmed Third World farmers.
Congress abolished Step 2 in 2006.
In August, a WTO arbitration panel in Geneva ruled that Brazil could retaliate against U.S. trade in response to past failures by the U.S. to stop trade-distorting practices involving cotton.
Oxfam America, a vocal critic of American cotton subsidies, and other groups critical of American cotton policies, have said the WTO is finally allowing the imposition of import penalties against others unrelated to the dispute caused by U.S. intransigence on cotton over the years.
"We're getting closer and closer to tasting some real consequences for Congress' denial of the impact of our misguided subsidies," said Oxfam senior spokesman Laura Rusu. "Time and time again, Brazil has proven its case in this long process, but Congress has refused to budge, choosing instead to continue with wasteful and destructive farm subsidies."
NCC chairman Jay Hardwick released a statement pointing out that the U.S. cotton industry, and its share of production, have changed markedly since Brazil first brought its case.
"It is astonishing to think that anyone would conclude today that U.S. cotton production is damaging Brazilian cotton interests," Hardwick said. "World cotton production data continue to demonstrate that the U.S. cotton program cannot be damaging Brazil's or any other country's interests.
"U.S. cotton production in 2008 was more than 45 percent below the 2005 level, while combined production in Brazil, China and India increased more than 20 percent since 2005," he said. "If there is surplus cotton damaging the interests of Brazil, it certainly did not come from growers in the United States."

It was sheer sharp memory of assistant police inspector Manohar Harpude, that helped the police to get hold of Ayaz Ansari, who is accused of molesting at least 12 minor girls. When Harpude had seen the sketch of the suspect who had one white eye, it reminded him of a robber whom he had arrested a year ago.
According to Harpude, who is presently working with the crime branch, Ansari used to steal mobile phones from students and was arrested on January 10, 2013, by the Malad police.
Harpude said, "Ansari was released from the judicial custody in June last year. I had arrested him in a case wherein he had threatened a 16-year-old college student while he was returning home. He accosted the victim near the railway crossing between Malad and Goregaon railway stations and threatened him with a knife."
"He had stolen the girl's mobile phone and cash. After this incident, for two days I was stationed near the railway crossing and managed to get hold of Ansari. During the investigation, we had recovered three mobiles phones, which he had robbed from the other students," he said.

The harvest appeared less plentiful than last season
from Aesop Rock – Commencement (at the Obedience Academy) Lyrics on Genius
By the time that the harvesting season had come around, it was evident that there was a decrease in the quantity of the produce that the farmer had hoped for.
As with most of Aesop's lyrics, the literal meaning of this is vague, but the harvest seems to represent quality hip hop.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures.
Nothing really needs to be said when it comes to a game like this. The LEGO Game Brand franchise has been very popular, not just amongst children, but with teenagers who love simple games or are just stoners enjoying the humour of the game itself. I have to admit though, nothing makes me more excited when someone says to me "Dude, Indiana Jones LEGO, i need to whip some bricks". The game has the average graphics that is shared by all of the LEGO games so far which is a more comforting feeling considering the almost human-like animation that is the modern day gaming systems mostly all Xbox players are feeling these days. The gameplay is fun, humorous, just something that i would never play by myself in the dark unless i was being an achievement whore. LEGO Indiana Jones is definitely a family or a friend game, because it is clear that any LEGO game is best used in co-op.

Ellen Nesbitt spent 16 months in Kenya living in a home with no electricity, walking and taking public transportation for an hour to buy groceries, and teaching kids science and math as a volunteer for the Peace Corps.
She cut her stay short when violence erupted in the country after the elections, putting her life at risk.
Nesbitt, 24, a 2002 Carmel High School graduate, returned home Feb. 1, and the Peace Corps suspended operations in Kenya for three months soon after.
Although things got scary, Nesbitt was still glad she got to go.
After graduating from Purdue in 2006 with a bachelor's in environmental health, Nesbitt was unsure of what to do next. While in college she had heard about the Peace Corps through recruiters, and she decided to join.
Nesbitt left for Kenya in September 2006.
Nesbitt lived in a rural area and taught physics, biology and math at two high schools.
Nesbitt is back in Carmel and may join the Peace Corps again. But for now, she is pursuing grad school.
Nesbitt's mother, Maxine Nesbitt, a math teacher at Carmel High School, thought the Peace Corps was a good opportunity for her daughter.
"We didn't fear for her because she learned to get around pretty well," she said. "As violence continued to escalate, I got a little panicky for her. I'm glad she's safe back in the U.S."

Electric Superbike Beats Gas Bikes in WERA

Chip Yates and the
Pro Racing Team made history yesterday, riding what is touted as the most powerful and technically advanced electric superbike to second and third place finishes against gas-powered competitors in the WERA Heavyweight Twins classes yesterday at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, California.
In the WERA Heavyweight Twins Superbike Expert race, Yates and his electric superbike beat the likes of Ducati's 848 and NCR1000 and dispatched of the Suzuki SV 650 on his way to a third-place finish. The SWIGZ.com team's results in the WERA Heavyweight Twins Superstock Expert race was even more impressive as Yates captured second place, beating out a Honda 1000 in addition to several more Suzuki SV 650s.
According to the YouTube postrace interview with Susan Schick, Yates took the start tentatively because he had never started a race on the bike and hadn't taken a warm up lap for battery-conserving reasons. But it didn't take him long to get the tires warmed up and get the feel of the bike at speed and soon he was disposing of standard combustion-engine powered motorcycles on the back straight as the SWIGZ.com electric superbike spooled up and zinged by. In Schick's video, Yates stated that he experienced a bit of high-speed instability in the front end and had issues with wheelieing but feels the bike's full potential has yet to be displayed.
It was a historic event, marking the first time an electric superbike has competed head-to-head against standard gas-powered motorcycles, answering lingering doubts whether the electric platform can be competitive. The electric superbike was placed in the WERA Heavyweight Twins group because of its power-to-weight ratio, which places it about mid-pack. The SWIGZ.com bike was initially designed to race in electric bike races until the TTXGP and FIM lowered weight limits in the Open Classes to 250 kg, ruling out Yates' electric superbike. Now the team is breaking down barriers, competing directly against its gas-powered counterparts.
Yates, who has honed his motorcycle road racing skills in the AMA ranks, is the owner and chief designer of the SWIGZ.com electric superbike. Sourcing a massive set of battery cells to propel the e-superbike race-distance, the SWIGZ.com machine is claimed to put 194 hp to the rear wheel. Its powerful electric motor is housed in a Suzuki GSX-R750 frame with top-shelf Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes completing its racing pedigree.

For the 1st time so far I'm inmpressed with an elec. road race bike as far as its real world speed capabilites. Also for the first time I liked the whine sound of the motor.
I saw the AMA electric bike race @ Sears Point last May. This bike would blow them all off if it's allowed to run with them. I don't want an elect. bike but I'm really impressed now.

This reminds me of gas turbines in Indy cars many years ago. At first they didn't have many rules for the new powertrain, but after it proved to be fast, the rules came out. It won't be long before the electrics have rules as well. I'll never get used to the silence of electrics (and don't want to).

This is a 1st gen EV racing bike, maybe 2nd gen at most. And here it is beating gas bikes that have had decades to improve. This is the tip of the iceberg folks. Add direct photovoltaic conversion to electrical energy plus better batteries and the bike will become lighter. By the way, the White Zombie electric car does the same thing--beats gas cars in races. Every time.

It's a shame they had to stick that huge thing on the rear end. It was really sexy looking at the trade show a few months ago, but now? What's he carrying on the back of the bike, his camping gear? This is super awesome for the racing world, where cosmetics come in second to function (see Ducati MotoGP bike winglets), but for electrics to have any viability, they need to start worrying about cosmetics. See the Brammo Empulse for the ONLY attractive, available for purchase electric bike on the market (the MotoCycz bike is beautiful, but doesn't count).

... to not see the future here. Electric vehicles aren't even in their infancy yet, their are newborns compared to combustion engines. There are issues to sort out - weight, range, disposal, charging, replacement, price, etc. But even five years ago it would have been impossible to imagine a freaking electric bike could beat an 848 over race distance at the track. WERA or not, it's damn impressive.

GRW Architect Jimmy Piper spoke to members of the Harlan Independent Board of Education on Tuesday about ways to cut costs in their budget for the district's kitchen/cafeteria building and renovation project.
Piper discussed reducing the budget from approximately $3 million to approximately $2 million. He suggested eliminating a proposed loading dock, which will cut $178,504 from the budget, reducing grading, eliminating a retaining wall, eliminating a mezzanine roof at a cost of $76,790, and reducing square footage by 50 percent of the cafeteria portion of the project.
After a lengthy discussion about which side of the Humanities building the board would like to see the new cafeteria built, it was the general consensus to keep the new addition where the architect originally proposed.
"Without reducing the square footage of the cafeteria we're at $1.9 million for the project," said Superintendent C.D. Morton. "I'm assuming that $1.9 million represents the same footprint, same equipment for a full kitchen. We still may be able to save a significant amount of dollars by not having all the equipment for a full kitchen and having a warming kitchen instead. We could possibly add the full kitchen later."
Piper said any line item equipment the board decides not to buy comes off the budget and could save a significant number of dollars.
"I think you bringing back to us what the costs of a warming kitchen versus a full kitchen will be with the same square footage is a number we'd be interested in," said Morton.
Piper agreed to return with those numbers and present them to the board at a special called meeting within the next few weeks so that the board may make a formal decision on whether to proceed with the project.
"I want whatever we can afford," said board chairman Joe Meadors. "I'm fine with what you (Piper) have brought us with the changes we have suggested tonight."
Morton said his preference is to use the current design and location for the project.
"It won't hurt to see more numbers. We might even be surprised," said Morton.
The discussion ended with the board tabling the issue until Piper returns with new dollar figures for a warming kitchen and cutting square footage of the cafeteria for the board to consider before proceeding with the project.

Re: Wall mounting ideas?
You can run the wires in between the wall studs if you want. I have a small cabinet that holds my revievers where the hole is at the bottom and the the top hole is behind the tv mount.
You never see the holes, and they make grommet like covers for the holes.

Fraud in the family
Kids are easy prey for identity theft, and the perpetrator's often a relative
DALLAS – Financial educator Cynthia Nevels would rather not see one subject that's been appearing in some of her students' essays: theft of their identity by a parent.
And sadly, it's been appearing with regularity, said Nevels, executive director of the Jr. Finance Literacy Academy in Irving, Texas, which teaches money-management skills to children from kindergarten through high school.
"I can guarantee either one or two students out of any (financial education) camp will say ... that they have experienced that by a parent or a family member," she said.
Children are especially enticing targets for identity thieves because it can take years before the crime is discovered. And they're easy prey for unscrupulous family members who have ruined their own credit and use the child's Social Security number to obtain credit fraudulently.
"It's underreported," said Linda Foley, co-executive director of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego. "If it happens to a child by a family member, we're not going to hear about until they reach 18, 19 years old, and start to apply for credit themselves."
What most people don't understand, Foley said, is that credit issuers may not have a way to verify the age of an applicant.
"The information on the application is typically taken at face value," she said.
Even in person, few credit issuers request proof of identity, such as a driver's license, Foley said.
"For these reasons and others, issuers often will not know the true age of the applicant," she said. "This is a fault within our system that needs to be rectified."
The Federal Trade Commission doesn't specifically track child identity theft, but it collects data from complaints reported to the agency, said spokeswoman Claudia Bourne Farrell.
In 2003, 3 percent of identity theft complaints were about people under 18, FTC officials said.
In 2004, it was 4 percent, and in 2005 through 2007, it was 5 percent of about 250,000 complaints.
A child whose identity has been stolen has the same rights as any adult victim to resolve accounts that have been fraudulently opened, said Joanna Crane, identity theft program manager in the FTC's Division of Privacy and Identity Protection.
"The fact that a family member or relative was the identity thief does not deny them any rights," Crane said.
The first step is for the child's legal representative to obtain a copy of his or her credit report.
"If someone has stolen and misused the child's identity, there will likely be a credit report related to their Social Security number," Crane said. A minor without credit should not otherwise have a credit report.
The Fair Credit Reporting Act gives identity theft victims the right to block inaccurate information from appearing on their credit report, stop creditors from reporting that inaccurate information to the credit bureaus and stop creditors from selling any debts related to the identity theft to any other party for collection.
"The adult/child or the child's representative needs to obtain an identity theft report from the police, describing the identity theft and listing the inaccurate information on their credit report," Crane said. "The adult/child or child's representative should follow the procedures for disputing identity theft information by filing an identity theft report with the consumer reporting agencies (credit bureaus)."

US agency delays derivatives oversight overseas
WASHINGTON A policy allowing a U.S. agency to regulate derivatives trading overseas to help reduce risks to the global financial system will be delayed under a vote Friday.
The Commodity Futures Trading Commission voted 3-1 to stagger the effective dates for the policy. The delay marks a middle ground between Chairman Gary Gensler, who wanted to extend the CFTC's regulation to overseas markets now, and Wall Street banks, which opposed extending its reach.
The Obama administration favored a delay to allow foreign regulators to finalize their own rules for derivatives oversight.
A derivative is an investment that's based on the value of an underlying asset, such as oil or corn or dollars. Bad bets on risky derivatives, and lax regulation of them, were a leading cause of the 2008 financial crisis.
The CFTC policy applies new rules governing the $700 trillion derivatives market to U.S. banks' foreign affiliates that trade derivatives and to U.S. trading operations of foreign banks.
The agency's new oversight rules were mandated by the 2010 financial overhaul law. One requires banks that trade derivatives to put up money to cover potential losses. Another would require most derivatives to be traded in clearinghouses to make prices more transparent.
Under Friday's vote, the new rules would be phased in overseas starting in September. The CFTC commissioners also agreed to have European regulators monitor derivatives trading in their countries if their oversight rules closely resemble the CFTC's. By March, European banks with trading operations in the United States will have to meet the requirements.
On Thursday, the CFTC and the European Commission announced an agreement to coordinate their derivatives rules.
"What happens in one nation impacts another," Commissioner Bart Chilton said before the vote. "Risk travels around the globe with a click of the mouse."
Proponents of the wider reach for the CFTC say that regulations overseas tend to be weaker and that stricter supervision is needed to reduce the risk to the broader financial system. Banks and other opponents counter that the CFTC's rules will make it harder for U.S. firms to remain competitive in some foreign markets.
Friday was the deadline for the agency to act under the financial overhaul law, which authorized the CFTC to define which overseas derivatives transactions should be subject to oversight.
The CFTC proposed the policy last year, a few weeks after JPMorgan Chase, the biggest U.S. bank, announced that it had lost billions because of high-risk derivatives trades at its London office.
Scott O'Malia, the lone Republican commissioner on the CFTC, dissented in Friday's vote.
The CFTC "is not the global regulatory authority that it may think it is," O'Malia argued.
Derivatives often are used to protect producers or users of commodities against future price fluctuations of an underlying commodity or security. But they also are used by financial firms to make speculative bets, and they have grown increasingly complex and risky.
Gensler and other advocates of the "cross-border" reach have pointed to the $182 billion federal bailout of American International Group Inc. at the height of the financial crisis - the largest for any company. AIG nearly collapsed because of its huge derivatives bets on the housing market. AIG has since repaid the bailout.

New luxury home overlooking Rincon de Guayabitos.
Rincon de Guayabitos – A Spectacular Mexican Beach Town
Rincon de Guayabitos, which means translates to "Wrinkle of Little Guavas" is five minutes north of Los Ayala, and truly a delightful and picturesque beach. The beach offers shallow safe swimming waters, gentle waves which are perfect to play in, and three miles of fine, velvety sand to walk along. The surrounding majestic mountains are extraordinarily beautiful, and frame the bay perfectly. Because of its tranquil waters the beach is frequently referred to as the "Largest swimming pool in the world". Guayabitos is a very popular beachside paradise with Mexican families during the summer, holidays and Semana Santa and with Canadians and Americans during the winter and spring season, both as a vacation spot and a winter retirement destination.
The south end of the beach offers old world charm and is frequented by fisherman with colourful boats decked out with pelicans. There are several palapa restaurants on this end of the beach and one of our favourites is Daniel's Backstreet and Brewing Company, primarily for its romantic beach side setting, but also for its Scampi, Cannelloni and home crafted beer. For a change of pace and more casual fare we frequent Latitude 21 for Texas style burgers, and inexpensive good beach front dining.
The central portion of the beach is populated by the higher end hotels, and has several great Mexican restaurants such as Pina Loca, and Campanario, set a block or two back to the beach. Mateja's on the Beach is another wonderful beach side restaurant, not to be missed for great home made soups, chicken fingers and spinach salad, and lively entertainment. A great spot for a fun day at the beach. For the younger crowd Guayabitos has two discothèques which are very lively after 10 p.m.
The north end of the beach is largely residential where many of the homes resemble tropical palaces complete with colourful cupolas. This end of the beach is always quiet, very popular with boogie boarders of all ages, and on windy days you may even catch some of the local kids surfing. The main avenue of Guayabitos is lined with stores selling an endless array of sandals, bathing suits, hats, t-shirts and souvenirs. There is a great variety of inexpensive restaurants, taco stands, ice cream parlours, fresh fruit stands, and convenience stores.
While visiting Guayabitos, take a boat ride to nearby Isla Islote for some snorkelling, or simply a day at small but very beautiful beach. The beach at Isla Islote boasts fine white sand and crystal clear Caribbean-like waters and good snorkelling at high tide. The snorkelling does not compare to the Caribbean side of Mexico, but the snorkelling is good. Bring an umbrella for shade, your own snacks and water, and try to visit the Loo before you board the boat, as there are no facilities of this kind on the island.
Rincon de Guayabitos is an affordable, beautiful beach side paradise which offers something for everyone.

Wonderful Family Vacation home for Christmas
Sigh...A Lovely Time was Enjoyed by All!
We have 2 children (4 years and 6 years of age) and the walk into town and beach was easy on little legs and if we ran out of steam it was a 30 pesos taxi ride back to the house.
The house itself is absolutely beautiful - we have rented various accommodations in Mexico over the years and truly this was our best rental experience. The showers were great (excellent water pressure and water temperature),the kitchen was well-equipped and we had great evenings enjoying a BBQ supper and sitting outside by the pool.
Lastly, the pool - we all (big and small) loved the pool - the view, the warmth of the water, the view, and did I note...the view??
Sigh...you have a lovely place...we truly enjoyed our time there.
Thanks so much for the great review. You were great renters. Come back anytime.

Systemic remodeling of the redox regulatory network due to RNAi perturbations of glutaredoxin 1, thioredoxin 1, and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase

Cellular clearance of reactive oxygen species is dependent on a network of tightly coupled redox enzymes; this network rapidly adapts to oxidative conditions such as aging, viral entry, or inflammation. Current widespread use of shRNA as a means to perturb specific redox couples may be misinterpreted if the targeted effects are not monitored in the context of potential global remodeling of the redox enzyme network.
Stable cell lines containing shRNA targets for glutaredoxin 1, thioredoxin 1, or glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase were generated in order to examine the changes in expression associated with altering cytosolic redox couples. A qRT PCR array revealed systemic off-target effects of altered antioxidant capacity and reactive oxygen species formation. Empty lentiviral particles generated numerous enzyme expression changes in comparison to uninfected cells, indicating an alteration in antioxidant capacity irrespective of a shRNA target. Of the three redox couples perturbed, glutaredoxin 1, attenuation produced the most numerous off-target effects with 10/28 genes assayed showing statistically significant changes. A multivariate analysis extracted strong co-variance between glutaredoxin 1 and peroxiredoxin 2 which was subsequently experimentally verified. Computational modeling of the peroxide clearance dynamics associated with the remodeling of the redox network indicated that the compromised antioxidant capacity compared across the knockdown cell lines was unequally affected by the changes in expression of off-target proteins.
Our results suggest that targeted reduction of redox enzyme expression leads to widespread changes in off-target protein expression, changes that are well-insulated between sub-cellular compartments, but compensatory in both the production of and protection against intracellular reactive oxygen species. Our observations suggest that the use of lentivirus can in itself have off-target effects on dynamic responses to oxidative stress due to the changes in species concentrations.

Recently, I saw a very amusing sign while visiting the farm animal section of the Museum of Life and Science in Durham on an extremely, blisteringly hot summer day. The sign said:
In case you can't see the sign clearly, it reads:
Sometimes our donkey likes to lay [sic] flat out in the sun.
Don't be alarmed. . . HE IS STILL ALIVE! (-:
I was very amused that the museum needed a sign proclaiming the non-deathness of its donkey. However, the sign also struck me as a good tip for all of us involved in the construction business. Sometimes, you just have to state the obvious. You may think that it is glaringly obvious that, for example, an extended construction duration will increase the scope of your contract administration fees accordingly. You might be wrong.

Great Wall of China meaningful highlight
For both Matt and Susan Williams, visiting the approximate 5,500-mile long wall that stretches across mountains and valleys, is perhaps the highlight of their recent trip to China.The Great Wall of China, started in the 7th century B.C. to keep out invaders, is considered one of the seven construction wonders in the world, Susan said.
"I was most impressed people could build it out of dirt, mud, stones and bricks," she said.
Matt said the wall was constructed in very rugged places on a vast tract of land in North China.
The couple also loved the Bund in Shanghai, a famous waterfront that has been regarded as the architectural symbol of Shanghai for hundreds of years.
Susan said the Huangpu River divides Shanghai into two regions—Puxi (west bank) is the historic center of Shanghai while Pudong (east bank) houses more modern structures and financial and commercial hubs.
"Seventeen years ago, there was nothing there," Matt said about the newer section of Shanghai.
Susan said she was amazed to see mostly retired Chinese congregating in people's parks to dance, do other exercises and play music and games.
Because the Chinese in the cities live in high rises with no yards, Matt said people go to parks.
Both said they were surprised at how aggressive the Chinese are on roadways.
"The largest vehicle has the right of way," Matt said, noting that pedestrians are disregarded.
Susan added that Tian'anmen Square, and the Forbidden City next door, were also impressive.
Tian'anmen Square was the principal entry to the Imperial Palace during the Ming and Quing dynasties, according to a Beijing guidebook, and where state ceremonies took place.
The Forbidden City also called the Palace Museum, was the imperial home of 24 emperors of the Ming (1368-1644) and Qing (1644-1911) dynasties.
From a throne in the Forbidden City, they governed the country.
"We enjoyed the cultural experience and were grateful for the opportunity to attend the IMC," Susan said, "Meeting bankers and their spouses and making new friends was a highlight as well as a blessing."

OPEN LETTER FROM WBA SUPER MIDDLEWEIGHT CHAMPION MIKKEL KESSLER: "First, I would like to wish Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all my fans, indeed to all boxing fans around the globe. Heres to a great 2009 with peace and prosperity for one and all. My purpose is to let my fans and all boxing fans around the world know my past and curre nt boxing agenda. I went from Denmark to America THREE TIMES in 2008 trying to drum up a big fight. I atten ded the Kelly Pavlik-Jermain Taylor rematch, the Bernard Hopkins-Joe Calzaghe fight and the Roy Jones-Calzaghe bout. I enjoy both Las Vegas and New York but those were business trips. My dream is to fight big fights in the United States against the best of the best..
Bernard Hopkins. Joe Calzaghe. Chad Dawson . Winky Wright. Jermain Taylor. Kelly Pavlik.
Six great fighters, no doubt. And, starting with ring legend Hopkins, six fighters who all refused to seriously discuss fighting me this past year. I respect all of them as boxers and great competitors but, for some reason, I cant get any of t hem to fight me.
Now I know some people say Ive been hiding in Europe and not fighting the big names. Thats not fair and thats not true. I reg ained my WBA title, which is important to me, against unbeaten Dimitri Sartison and then fought a=2 0required mandatory against Danillo Haussler. I didnt make Haussler the mandatory challenger but I did cut him down in three rounds.
Naturally, I am extremely frustrated as I seek bigger game. I am hoping that 2009 will be different, that I will be able to match my skills in America against the likes of the=2 0Big Six.
Im not here to call anyone names or issue childish insults. Thats not the Viking Warriors style , people know that.
But Hopkins says he doesnt want to hear my name although Id gladly fight him at 168 pounds for my title or at a catch weight.
Calzaghe beat me on points in an excellent fight and has been consistent in saying he will never give me a second chance. Hes a great one but I wish hed change his mind. He said he never gives rematches yet he gave one to Mario Veit. It was Joe who suggested I fight Hopkins. I agree but Bernard doesnt like the idea.
Unbeaten Dawson is young and unbeaten. I would fight him at super middleweight or at a catch weight but he and/or his handlers are not interested.
As for Winky, Ive been hearing his name all year, from January to December, but its clear he also wants no part of me.
Taylor will never fight me according to his guy, Lou DiBella. Ive given up on getting Jermain in the ring.
Though he lost to Hopkins, Pavlik is still an excellent, rugged champion. He calls me a real beast and I say the same about him. Thats a bout I would really get excited about but it seems unlikely.
Im not a guy to shout from the rooftops but everything Ive said here is factual.
I just hope I can fill up my 2009 dance card with some or any of these reluctant but great warriors as listed above.
Thanks again to all the fans, in Denmark and elsewhere, who give me such great support. Know that I appreciate it greatly!"
TerMeliksetian, Kariya added to 1/22 Darwish Brothers Boxing Card
East Rutherford, NJ- Local attractions Archak "Shark Attack" TerMeliksetian and Noriko Kariya have been added to the January 22 Darwish Brothers Knockout Promotions boxing card at the Meadowlands Sheraton Hotel in East Rutherford, NJ. Emerging prospects Elvin Sanchez and Victor Valenzuela will also be featured in separate bouts.
TerMeliksetian, a native of Yerevan, Armenia but now living in Fairview, NJ, holds a record of 16-7 (13 KO). As an amateur, TerMeliksetian went 98-8 (76 KO), while capturing four Brazilian national titles and four international championships. He carries a fearsome reputation as a big puncher, as evidenced by his high knockout percentage. Rejuvenated with a fresh perspective on the sport, TerMeliksetian looks to get the Shark Attack back on track.
"This is a big opportunity for me to move in the right direction," says TerMeliksetian, who campaigns as a super-welterweight. "I need to take some fights to refocus and regroup. I want to come back stronger than ever and showcase my abilities as a fighter. I want to put on a great show for the local fans."
"Archak is still the excellent fighter that people were excited about when he left the amateurs," says Wally Darwish. "We want to give him the opportunity to show that he's still capable of being a top fighter."
Kariya, 9-3-1 (2 KO), comes from an athletic family: all three of her brothers Paul, Steve and Martin Kariya play professional hockey. Even amidst that star power, Noriko shines through in her own right as a rising force in the sport. Kariya grew up in Vancouver, Canada but now makes her home in Jersey City, NJ, the hometown of Arturo Gatti and cruiserweight kingpin Tomasz Adamek. Through her diligence and work ethic, Kariya has been a positive figure in the ranks of women's boxing.
"I want to be part of what elevates boxing," Kariya says. "To move it past the Mia St. Johns and girls slugging it out like a bar fight. I want the sport to get to the point where you can't see a difference between men and women, stylistically."
"Female boxing is big in Europe and there's no reason why it can't be the same way in the United States," Darwish says. "An athlete is an athlete, regardless of gender."
More bout information will be announced shortly.
Tickets, priced $100 for Ringside and $50 for Reserved, are on sale now. For ticket purchase information and other inquiries, call (973) 339-9611. The Sheraton Hotel is located at 2 Meadowlands Plaza in East Rutherford, New Jersey.
LOS ANGELES, CA (December 17, 2008) World ranked lightweight Miguel Angel Huerta moves up to junior welterweight this Friday night, December 19th, to take on undefeated prospect Mike Alvarado at the National Western Stadium Arena in Denver, Colorado.
The Huerta/Alvarado ten round main event, promoted by Bob Arums Top Rank Incorporated, will be featured on the last SOLO BOXEO telecast of their eight year Friday night series. The National Western Stadium Arena is located at 4655 Humboldt St. in Denver , CO. Tickets and more information can be obtained at www.nationalwestern.com
Huerta, 27-9-1 (18KOs), will be moving up in weight for his first bout at junior welterweight against hometown native Alvarado, 23-0, (16KOs).
Said Huerta manager Frank Espinoza, Its been a crazy couple of years for Miguel. First he gets the short end against Kid Diamond (L SD-12) in June of 2007, a fight he clearly won. Then he had a very strong outing against Efren Hinojosa (W UD-12) two months later, followed by the knockout of Daniel Alicea (W KO-3) in December.
Then we started off fighting Javier Jauregui in March of this year (L UD-12), it was a very close fight that I thought we won and wanted an immediate rematch. Without that, Miguel went to Corpus Christi in July and looked great beating Juan Ramon Cruz (W UD-10).
After campaigning as a lightweight, Huerta will face Alvarado in his first junior welterweight bout on Friday night.
Miguels been a pro for almost ten years and turning 30 a couple of months ago, he feels he will be stronger at 140. Hes always been a great boxer with terrific snap on his punches and this should help him. Alvarados a tough, unbeaten prospect and its in his backyard, but Miguel has no problem fighting him in Denver said Espinoza. Six of Alvarado's last seven fights have ended in early stoppages for the heavy handed prospect.
Espinoza also wanted to share his thoughts on the last SOLO BOXEO telecast, Its truly been a terrific series for fans and young fighters. Theyve done a great job allowing fans to see the development of future stars and we wish Bernardo, Ricardo, Ahmed, Victor and the entire crew all the best.
The ESPINOZA BOXING CLUB was started in 1991 by Los Angeles area businessman Frank Espinoza. Espinoza has earned numerous accolades for his management skills from many boxing newspaper and internet writers. In the September 2008 issue of Ring Magazine, Espinoza is praised for his outstanding handling of the career of junior featherweight world champion and Pound for Pound superstar Israel EL MAGNIFICO Vazquez.
In 2006, Espinoza was awarded the Manager of the Year award from the World Boxing Hall of Fame and inducted into the California Boxing Hall of Fame.
Espinoza also has managed retired former world champion Martin EL GALLITO Castillo and currently manages world ranked Alex Valdez and Miguel EL ANESTESISTA Huerta in addition to undefeated prospects Luis Ramos, Manuel SUAVECITO Roman, Jesus POLLO Hernandez, Carlos Molina, Abraham Lopez and Ronny Rios.

At some point in time I turned on a setting in Visual Studio 2005 that produces a warning when methods/classes don't have an xml comment associated with them. I would like to turn this off, but can't seem to find the setting again. Anyone know where this is?
Right-click your project and goto Properties.
Select the Build tab on the left.
Under Supress Warnings enter... 1591,1592,1573,1571,1570,1572.
Though I don't recommend this because the whole point of generating documentation is to have it documented. If you don't like the warnings you can de-select the warning option in the errors list pane of VS.
If you have a .NET project, the setting is on Project properties > Build tab. Near the bottom, in the Output section, there is a check box labeled "XML documentation file".
The only way I know is turning off XML documentation generation. This can be done on under Project properties / Compile / Generate XML documentation file.
You can either turn off the documentation generation for the whole project in the project properties (you'll need to do that for each build configuration), you can disable the warnings on the whole project in the project properties, or you can disable the warning on individual code blocks using the "#pragma warning" directive.

I live and work in England UK. I spend most of my holidays in Sri Lanka and first started going there in 2005. I have made many friends there both Sri Lankan and ex patriots. I love the diversity of the country from the warm, humid climate to the cooler temperatures in land in the higher regions. Sri Lanka is truly an idyllic vacation. The people are always pleasant and cheerful and will go out of their way to help you in any way they can. Travel has always been my passion but Sri Lanka is the place I choose to return to every time.

Left on Nov 24, 2013 for a stay in November 2013
My first trip to Sri Lanka was a truly amazing experience and the icing on the cake was my stay at Frangipani House.
The house is set in tranquil surroundings, overlooking paddy fields, a peaceful place to recharge the batteries . Far enough away from the hustle & bustle but close enough to beaches & attractions within minutes- the best of both worlds!

An Unexpected Visitor
Hi there!
This is an illustration I did for Spectrum 14 and Expose 5. When I was a kid, I always loved those adventure stories and movies--especially the ones that take place undersea. This is what inspired me to paint this piece.
This piece is called "An Unexpected Visitor"

Awesome job Kei! Makes you wonder who's the "unexpected vistor"? The girl or the dragon? hehehe...

Great work.

Tell you what -- I go diving all the time, and there's not one time that I do *not* feel like that's about to happend to me. Both exciting and sort of scary at the same time. Although it did happend to me once, with a whale shark. Close enough to a sea serpent, lol.
Love the art by the way.
January 29th, 2007 #6
Good to see it finished great work, although I still think the big flippers that are the serpents hind legs are a bit strange...

I think this is urely breath taking, from concept throught to finality it screams 'professionalism'. I hope you send this to major animation studios, this could make a wonderful story, real nostalgic of the likes of petes dragon, sword in the stone and likewise. kinda like Pete Dragon meets Abyss.
Good job
January 29th, 2007 #8
amazing sense of scale! somethig about big sea serpents in the water scares the shit outta me! nice design.
January 29th, 2007 #9
Hey guys, Thanks for the replies!
Sleep_Eden_sleep- WOW. That's insane!..I could only imagine what it feels like to go down ther..but I wish I could go diving as often as you!
Here are some of my WIP:
It all started from an image I saw in my head just before going to bed. I just had to sketch it quickly before sleep..
As a kid, I've always been fasinated by adventure stories and films--especially the ones that take place undersea. And so I pictured my diver discovering something enormus in the black abyss..
Here are some sketches of what I pictured the sea dragon may look like..
One of my quick colored sketches..
This picture is a rough sketch of my final..
And this one is a quick sketch, thinking about mood and color pallete.

Stunning piece Kei, your digipaints keep improving in leaps and bounds! Thanks for sharing the process as well, always love seeing how a painting come to fruition.
One issue that bugged me at the very least on the compositional level is that the girl is hardly visible being so dark against the dark corals. At first glace i almost missed her completely until i followed the dragon's gaze. Personally, I'd think that some of those empty patches/holes in the coral couldve been used to enhance her silhouette or maybe adding some more lights (such as the glow from the creature's eyes) to make her stand out. The yellow of her scuba tank and the flashlight were good helping touches, but i dont think they were quite enough.

Apple Inc chief executive Steve Jobs today called Adobe Systems' Flash multimedia software a "closed system" that is ill-suited for the company's suite of mobile devices, escalating the war of words between the companies.
Jobs said Flash's system is closed because it is a proprietary system from Adobe, which controls everything from its features to its pricing.
Ironically, perhaps, similar charges have been lobbed at Apple's own products and services, such as iTunes.
In a long, detailed letter posted on Apple's website, Jobs cited a number of problems with Flash, which is used to run video on many internet sites but which is not compatible with Apple's iPhone and iPad.
"Adobe has characterised our decision as being primarily business driven — they say we want to protect our App Store — but in reality it is based on technology issues.
"Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true," he said.
Jobs went on to detail a list of complaints about Flash, raising questions about its security, "technical drawbacks", and power management.
"Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs," he said. "But the mobile era is about low-power devices, touch interfaces, and open web standards — all areas where Flash falls short."
Adobe was not immediately available for comment. Shares of the company based in San Jose, California, fell 2% to $34.72 in midday trading on the Nasdaq. Shares of Apple, which is based in Cupertino, California, rose 2.4% to $267.91.

The Indian media & entertainment (M&E) sector registered a growth of around 12% to touch Rs 92,000 crore in 2013, as per an annual FICCI-KPMG report that is scheduled to released at the Ficci Frames conclave on March 12. The overall growth has stayed muted thanks to the economic slowdown which impacted advertising revenue-dependent sectors of television and print.
Jehil Thakkar, head of media and entertainment, KPMG in India, said, "Last year, the focus shifted from topline to bottomline growth with companies focusing on operations and efficiency. The sector grew 12%, a far better performance than many other industries."
According to the Ficci-KPMG study, digitisation of cable saw carriage fees going down by 15-20%. Other key highlights of last year were the inclusion of LC1 (less than class I) markets in TV ratings, the 12-minute advertising cap ruling and the shift from TRP to TVT ratings.
The film industry recorded a double-digit growth, albeit slower than in 2012, with multiple movies scoring big on Box Office collections. The print sector continued to buck the global slowdown trend. The sector grew at a CAGR of 8.5% this year to reach Rs 24,300 crore, as per the report. The total internet user base in India grew to around 214 million by end of the year, with almost 130 million going online using mobile devices. Streaming and download services continued to see growth in the music industry, with the growth in mobiles, particularly smartphones, contributing significantly to increased consumption of music 'on-the-go'.
However, with continued decline in physical sales, compounded by the significant fall in ringback tone revenues (following the backlash of Telecom Regulatory Development Authority guidelines issues in 2012), the sector saw an overall 10% drop in 2013.
Going forward, digital revenues are expected to drive growth in the sector. The vibrant live events sector, too, is expected to continue its role as a catalyst for driving growth in artists' fan-base, and public performance royalties.
Uday Shankar, chairman, Ficci M&E committee, said, "2013 was a year of challenges and significant change. I am certain that the insights and findings from this report will provide a comprehensive and useful lens for all of us in the industry."

Well, I've just flown in from South By Southwest, and boy is my liver tired. (Yes, I use that joke every year. It never gets old. Unlike my liver...)
SXSW--Austin, Texas's four-day spree of beer, BBQ, and bands--was last week, and I of course wasted no time indulging in all three B's. But along the way I managed to incorporate another B, blogging.
I naturally attended, and wrote about, a couple big bashes (Playboy's Rock The Rabbit event with Jane's Addiction, and Perez Hilton's diva-themed "One Night In Austin" soiree with Ladyhawke, Little Boots, Solange, et al).
But I spent most of my time running around 6th Street with my camera, chasing down bands and interviewing them at various Austin haunts.
Check out my interviews and blogs below, y'all, while I go detox on a diet of milk thistle and macrobiotic brown rice between now and when the Coachella retox begins next month...
