Party reaching out to youth
The BJP which is drumming up nationwide support for its 'Modi for PM' campaign will get down to finalising its agenda and fine tune the campaign for the forthcoming 2014 general elections in the course of the coming week.
From ticket distribution to zeroing in on clean, credible candidates, from strategy to taking on traditional rivals and the new entrant to the electoral politics, the Aam Aadmi Party, to reaching out to the youth, the BJP's top leadership is expected to take stock of the party's poll preparation.
At the recently concluded Parliamentary Board meeting in New Delhi, the BJP has decided to intensify its 'Modi for PM' campaign through a door-to-door canvassing and by focussing attention on issues of internal security, corruption and price rise, particularly food inflation.
The Board discussed the agenda for the coming national executive and council meeting which will see the participation of nearly 10,000 office-bearers from across the country to strategise for the mid-2014 Lok Sabha polls.
The party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and president Rajnath Singh reviewed the preparations for the party's national executive and council meetings over the weekend. Sources said Mr. Modi's brief to the party has been to focus on candidates with a clean and credible record, given that the opposition and the debutant the AAP have made corruption the mainstay of the election campaign.
"There is a possibility that some old faces might be dropped, Mr. Modi has indicated that younger candidates with a proven ability have a better chance with the youth. That will also help curtail anti incumbency. An individual's credibility and acceptance will also prove to be vital in candidates' selection," said a source.
The BJP top brass and the office bearers are also expected to thrash out ideas for a political and economic agenda for the party, which will be part of its election pitch.
The BJP has so far been focussing on two campaigns -- 'Modi for PM' and 'Mission 272+', but to woo the voters, particularly the urban youth, the party has recognised the need for a sharp strategy. While Mr. Modi has been meeting people and addressing rallies, the party, which considers its cadres its strength, has decided to strengthen its outreach to voters.
The meetings will pass a political resolution which will focus attention on issues like corruption, scams, mal-governance and the internal security situation. The party will also pass a resolution on the state of the economy, price rise, decrease in foreign investment and financial problems of the poor and the middle class.
"The party has taken up the challenge of 272+ seats under Mr. Modi's leadership. The Congress has already been squeezed out of the race. We have to get a full majority in this scenario," BJP general secretary and MP Ananth Kumar said over the weekend.

i hate Shinya Aoki
Shinya Aoki (21-4) will challenge Joachim Hansen (19-7-1) for the DREAM lightweight title at DREAM 11 on Oct. 6 from the Yokohama Arena in Yokohama, Japan. The fight was announced by Aoki during DREAM 10.
Hansen pounded out Aoki in the first round at DREAM 5 to claim the DREAM lightweight belt.
For the latest on DREAM 11, check out our MMA Rumors section.
i hate Shinya Aoki
you hate him because of his pants?
Me too, tom. Did you see Sakuri KO his ass in Dream? It was great.
If you hate Aoki watch his exhibition with Fedor, he gets tossed around. I think this is going to be a good match but Hansen is a better all around fighter and he'll defend his title.
Hell boy will over power him just like before!!
Aoki is very skilled fighter hard to match on the ground. However he can't take a punch and hansen will be handing them out!!

Apple's Hardware Quality and Return Policy
So I just got a Powerbook G4 almost a month ago. On the second week, I had to send the product for repeair because there was a problem with the speakers that caused a high-pitched loud noise. Today, I was ejecting a CD and the cloth that protects the DVD-Drive comes out, so now the computer actually shoots out the CD and scratches it at the same time.
Now, i'm beginning to think that I made a wrong decision. I paid $1570 for a 12" laptop, but since it's Apple, I thought it was worth every cent. Now, I'm not so sure. Compared to the other non-apple laptops that cost the same, the laptop seems somewhat overpriced. I know, I know, no OS X. Still, having to buy a anti-virus is better than having my laptop fall apart in just a couple of months. Furthermore, no one told me about the Intel transicion when I bought the laptop, so like, my computer will practically be extinct in a couple of months?
I'm beginning to dislike this sexy and very fragile powerbook. If for some reason apple doesn't fix the DVD-Drive because it's not in the warranty, i'd like to return the product. Is that possible? I read Apple's return policy but I just want to be extra sure that there's no way I can return it. I bought it from the Apple store, almost exactly one month ago.
Sorry for the rant
|Feb 25, 2006, 10:06 PM
The fragility issues you describe sound very strange. Call Apple and politely tell them this same story. I have an iBook, and have never had an Aluminum Powerbook. But my experience is that the typical build-quality is bomb-proof. The only major issue in terms of fragility with the Alu PBs is that they can be dented if dropped. But things like having the trimming on the CD drive come out are very rare.
I think you should call Apple and ask them to come up with a game plan to either get your unit up to satisfactory shape or replace it.
Mira C. Krishnan
|Feb 25, 2006, 10:55 PM
When researching whether to buy a 12" or a 15", the vast majority of the advice on forums like this one was "if you want a 12", get an iBook because the 12" PowerBook is way overpriced for what you get". That made the decision of "which laptop to get" a lot easier for me.
I don't know this for a fact, but I've read some threads that say Apple is more willing to refund (or let you pay to upgrade to another model) after your laptop's gone in for three repairs.

I love this machine. I have one of the new Core Duo iMacs, but the 12-inch Powerbook is still my favorite Mac ever. Hopefully your machine will be fixed. If not, you might want to try to call up the ladder to see, if they'll give you a new one.

this may vary in some states though, but the apple stores, like any other retailer, are bound by those types of laws regardless of which state they are located in.
If you bought something at the apple store online, then the state laws where YOU live will apply, although you make need the assistance of the local Consumer Affairs Dept & BBB to enforce them.......

Do you know if the "lemon law" is called something different when it doesn't apply to cars? I couldn't find any information via google about it.
|Feb 26, 2006, 09:48 AM
There is no lemon law for computers. There also is no set number of repairs, but it wont get replaced with out at least three.
|Feb 26, 2006, 10:13 AM
Don't worry about this lemon law crap. Just call Apple and talk to them, politely yet firmly. Apple product quality is rarely this low. You have an exceptionally faulty unit. And Apple doesn't want it floating around out there any more than you do.

Apple Hardware
Must agree though. Apple hardware is by far superior to any other hardware manufacturer I know. I must admit, I am having sound issues with my PowerMac, but its nothing I can't live with for now. I need my machine everyday for my studies till April - literally won't be able to live without it. But when I can, I'll send it in.
Your faults are definately warranted by Apple
|Feb 26, 2006, 10:55 AM
I'm guessing I'm no different than most users here when I write, I haven't had anywhere near that kind of trouble with Apple products. Well actually, I've only had one problem with Apple hardware and that was fixed quickly and it was 2.5 years after I bought the computer. They replaced the logic board on my ol' graphite iMac and it didn't cost me a dime. Go Apple Care!
So you bought this computer a month ago from an Apple Store (not another Apple reseller) and they won't repair or replace the drive piece? Is this after a visit to the Apple store you purchased from or after talking to someone on the phone? I agree with others recommending a call back to Apple and some clarification on why you aren't getting support on a new purchase.
As for not getting in on the Intel macs, welcome to the huge club, and it's not exclusive to Apple products. Buying technology usually means you're going to be behind the next best thing much sooner than you'd like. I can attest to the fact that had you done much research here or on other sites that provide rumors of upcoming products, you would've known that the Intel macs were coming up soon. However, your computer will hardly be extinct any time soon. You'll be using the same software that lots of MacBook owners are using, and you're using it on a 12" powerbook that hasn't been released in the MacBook line.
Before you ask, have you tried MRoogle today? No...really
/salute e
|Feb 26, 2006, 03:34 PM
Apple products are great when they work, however, there will always be a few bad apples, or lemons.
Apple customer care leaves much to be desired as do thier company policies regarding returns and repairs. In fact it might the worst customer service oriented company I have ever dealt with. If their product was not superior they would certainly be extinct quite quickly.
Good luck!

My cats love Cosmic Catnip
posted 7 years ago
I have tried many, many different kinds of catnip and my cats prefer the Cosmic catnip. I don't even have to open the container and they come running. With other catnips, they just smell and walk away but with Cosmic, they'll stick around and lick it up and then roll around on the rug and then look for more. I recommend Cosmic when it comes to catnip.
Pros: Cats love it - strong smell
Cons: None

I may be wrong on this, but didn't even the Bush Administration take steps to curb man-made global warming? I thought I remember sgallan posting examples.
Side bar....
If you have never been to Glacier National, it's a must do vacation. Even if you are not a backpacker, there are plenty of inexpensive places to stay just outside the park and a gazillion day hikes. There is a bus service that can drop you off and pick up at many of the trailheads.
Also, take the whitewater rafting trip down the Flathead. It has plenty of grade 3 and 4 rapids, bald eagles, elk and there's a good chance you'll float past a griz streamside. Do it before you are too old because most of the hikes are physically challenging.
You will be awed and humbled by it's presence.
Got kids, try an RV trip from Utah over to the Tetons, a short hop north to Yellowstone then follow the Rockies up into Montana and Glacier. Another two hours north and you can take in the Waterton Canadian Rockies.
Life's not the breaths you take, the breathing in and out that gets you through the day ain't what it's all about. It's the moments that take your breath away.
There's no such thing as a pretty good aligator wrestler.
Or maybe I'll listen to these guys....This was signed by all of these different scientific societies, from around the world, before Al Gore took up the cause. But feel free to make up BS rationale if you want. I know you will. Funny you point out the evolution thing, because much like that, the scientific world in pretty close agreement. Granted, evolution is known fact, and this has more room for error, but that doesn't change the current scientific consensus.
A joint statement issued by the Australian Academy of Sciences, Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for
Sciences and the Arts, Brazilian Academy of Sciences, Royal Society of Canada, Caribbean Academy of
Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, French Academy of Sciences, German Academy of Natural Scientists
Leopoldina, Indian National Science Academy, Indonesian Academy of Sciences, Royal Irish Academy,
Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei (Italy), Academy of Sciences Malaysia, Academy Council of the Royal Society
of New Zealand, Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, and Royal Society (UK).
The work of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) represents the consensus of the
international scientific community on climate change science. We recognise IPCC as the world's most
reliable source of information on climate change and its causes, and we endorse its method of achieving this
consensus. Despite increasing consensus on the science underpinning predictions of global climate change,
doubts have been expressed recently about the need to mitigate the risks posed by global climate change.
We do not consider such doubts justified.
There will always be some uncertainty surrounding the prediction of changes in such a complex system as
the world's climate. Nevertheless, we support the IPCC's conclusion that it is at least 90% certain that
temperatures will continue to rise, with average global surface temperature projected to increase by
between 1.4 and 5.8oC above 1990 levels by 21001. This increase will be accompanied by rising sea levels,
more intense precipitation events in some countries, increased risk of drought in others, and adverse effects
on agriculture, health and water resources.
In May 2000, at the InterAcademy Panel (IAP) meeting in Tokyo, 63 academies of science from all parts of
the world issued a statement on sustainability in which they noted that "global trends in climate change …
are growing concerns" and pledged themselves to work for sustainability – meeting current human needs
while preserving the environment and natural resources needed by future generations2. It is now evident
that human activities are already contributing adversely to global climate change. Business as usual is no
longer a viable option.
We urge everyone - individuals, businesses and governments - to take prompt action to reduce emissions of
greenhouse gases. One hundred and eighty-one governments are Parties to the 1992 UN Framework
Convention on Climate Change, demonstrating a global commitment to 'stabilising atmospheric
concentrations of greenhouse gases at safe levels'. Eighty-four countries have signed the subsequent 1997
Kyoto Protocol, committing developed countries to reducing their annual aggregate emissions by 5.2% from
1990 levels by 2008-2012.
The ratification of this Protocol represents a small but essential first step towards stabilising atmospheric
concentrations of greenhouse gases. It will help create a base on which to build an equitable agreement
between all countries in the developed and developing worlds for the more substantial reductions that will
be necessary by the middle of the century.
There is much that can be done now to reduce the emissions of greenhouse gases without excessive cost.
We believe that there is also a need for a major co-ordinated research effort focusing on the science and
technology that underpin mitigation and adaptation strategies related to climate change. This effort should
be funded principally by the developed countries and should involve scientists from throughout the world.
The balance of the scientific evidence demands effective steps now to avert damaging changes to
the earth's climate.
1 Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis Contribution of WG1 to the IPCC Third Assessment Report
http://www.ipcc.ch. The average global surface temperature is predicted to increase by between 1.4oC and 3oC above
1990 levels by 2100 for low emission scenarios, and between 2.5oC and 5.8oC for higher emission scenarios.

Does Global Warming mean that the price of beer will go up or down??
Have to keep cool somehow during this event.
Will enviromental politics influence Piggly-Wiggly owner/operators??
In a study sure to ruffle the feathers of the Global Warming cabal, Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT has published a paper which proves that IPCC models are overstating by 6 times, the relevance of CO2 in Earth's Atmosphere. Dr. Lindzen has found that heat is radiated out in to space at a far higher rate than any modeling system to date can account for.
The science is in. the scare is out. Recent papers and data give a complete picture of why the UN is wrong.
The pdf file located at the link above from the Science and Public Policy Institute has absolutely, convincingly, and irrefutably proven the theory of Anthropogenic Global Warming to be completely false.
Professor Richard Lindzen of MIT's peer reviewed work states "we now know that the effect of CO2 on temperature is small, we know why it is small, and we know that it is having very little effect on the climate."
The global surface temperature record, which we update and publish
every month, has shown no statistically-significant "global warming"
for almost 15 years. Statistically-significant global cooling has now
persisted for very nearly eight years. Even a strong el Nino – expected
in the coming months – will be unlikely to reverse the cooling trend.
More significantly, the ARGO bathythermographs deployed
throughout the world's oceans since 2003 show that the top 400
fathoms of the oceans, where it is agreed between all parties that at
least 80% of all heat caused by manmade "global warming" must
accumulate, have been cooling over the past six years. That now prolonged
ocean cooling is fatal to the "official" theory that "global
warming" will happen on anything other than a minute scale.
- SPPI Monthly CO2 Report: July 2009
If for no other reason than this: the IPCC assumes that the concentration of CO2 in 2100 will be 836 ppmv (parts per million volume). However, current graphs based on real data show that CO2 concentrations will only be 570 ppmv in 2100, cutting the IPCC's estimates in half right there.
Another nail in the coffin of Global Warming is the observed rate of temperature change from 1980, which is observed to be 1.5 degrees C per century. The IPCC modeling calls for a range of 2.4 to 5.3 degree increase per century, which is far above what is observed in real data collected between 1980 and 2009. The graph below clearly represents a far different reality as opposed to the predictions.
Graph A
Not only is the IPCC basing its predictions on data that has been doubled from observed data, it is overstating the role of CO2 in Climate altogether. As the graph seen below shows, when charted for the years between 2002 and 2009, that solid red median line is going down, indicating global cooling.
Graph B
As significant as the above results are, it is not the Pi?ce de r?sistance. What is - the curious minded what to know? It is the ERBE results. The Earth Radiation Budget Experiment with 15 years worth of data. The ERBE result is absolutely devastating to the entire Global Warming Theory.
The following graph (Graph C) shows the ERBE results in the upper left hand corner, which is real recorded data, not a computer model. The 11 other graphs are the results from the models used by the UN and everyone else which state that more radiation should be held within Earth's system, thereby causing warming of the climate. More simply put, the UN results illogically predict that as the oceans got warmer, the earth would simply hold more heat. The UN explains that it is CO2 which is holding this extra energy. This theory is not supportable by the simple fact that CO2 cannot hold that much heat, it is a very poor greenhouse gas compared with water. If anything, more clouds -water vapor- would conceivably hold the extra heat, but the corresponding rise in global temperatures this would cause have not been observed. This leaves only one conclusion, the Earth is radiating the extra heat into space, and this is supported by the data.
The ERBE results, which are factual data from real measurements made by satellite, show the exact opposite result from the UN/IPCC Projections (computer models which are not real data). As seas warm on earth, the earth releases more heat into space and the satellite results prove it.
Graph C
Observed reality vs. erroneous computer predictions:
The mismatch between reality and prediction is entirely clear. It is this
astonishing graph that provides the final evidence that the UN has
absurdly exaggerated the effect not only of CO2 but of all greenhouse
gases on global mean surface temperature. - Lindzen & Choi (2009).
For the sake of making the above graphs clear in their meanings, the term ?SST stands for Change in Sea Surface Temperature measured in Kelvin (A unit of temperature like to Celsius and Fahrenheit), and is a measurement of change in sea temperatures. A -1.0 number would indicate cooling, a zero reflects no temperature change, and a +1.0 would indicate an increase in temperature.
?Flux, The Vertical line in these graphs, measures the change in the amount of radiation released by the planet in the infra-red spectrum, heat in other words. From zero to +6 shows more heat radiated out into space. From zero to -6 shows less heat being radiated into space.
0 change in ?SST equals 0 change in ?Flux or no change. Less infra-red heat radiation going out into space should correlate to cooler sea surface temperatures, as there is less heat available to radiate out. More heat radiating out appears when sea surface temperature increases have occurred and more heat is available to radiate. Heat is radiated out into space as seas warm, and this overall maintains a climate equilibrium, This is proven by the ERBE graph in Graph C above as well as the other graphs presented in this article, which are based on observed data, not computer models.

(Saturday, October 25th)
Final Score: (1) Texas 28, (7) Oklahoma State 24
Austin, TX (Sports Network) - Colt McCoy threw for a career-high 391 yards and two touchdowns, as the top-ranked Texas Longhorns survived a strong push from seventh-ranked Oklahoma State and escaped with a 28-24 win.
McCoy completed 38-of-45 passes with one interception and also ran for a touchdown, as Texas (8-0, 4-0 Big 12) defeated its third straight ranked opponent. The Longhorns disposed of then-No. 1 Oklahoma two weeks ago and topped then-No. 11 Missouri last week. Texas travels to Lubbock next Saturday to face Texas Tech in another pivotal Big 12 showdown. Texas Tech beat Kansas, 63-21, on Saturday to remain unbeaten.
Texas wide receiver Jordan Shipley caught a single-game school record 15 passes for a career-high 168 yards and a score.
Kendall Hunter gashed the Texas defense, rushing for 161 yards and one touchdown on 18 carries for the Cowboys (7-1, 3-1), who have dropped 11 straight meetings to the Longhorns.
Zac Robinson completed 17-of-26 passes for 199 yards and one touchdown for Oklahoma State.
"It was a heck of a college football game," said Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy. "It was a great setting, great atmosphere. I was very proud of our team today. The guys played with a lot of heart. The guys made good decisions. We played very well as a team. Defensively, they ran on us as little bit, moved the ball quite a bit early. Then our defense rallied and played really hard, had some big hits and forced some turnovers in the second half. Offensively, we were able to stay balanced and were able to run the football and pass the football."
Trailing by 14 points, Robinson connected with Dez Bryant for a 20-yard pass, setting up a one-yard scoring plunge by Keith Toston which trimmed Texas' lead to 28-21 with 3:43 remaining in the third quarter.
On the second play of the next drive, McCoy was intercepted by Jacob Lacey, who was taken down at the OSU 42. The Cowboys capitalized on the turnover as Dan Bailey kicked a 39-yard field goal 2:02 into the fourth quarter.
McCoy then coughed the ball up at the OSU 10 with just over five minutes remaining in regulation, but the Texas defense held the Cowboys on fourth down.
The Longhorns got the ball back at the Cowboys 27 with 2:39 to go and advanced the ball to the one, where they opted to go for the end zone. However, McCoy's pass to Chris Ogbonnaya fell incomplete.
OSU took over with 33 seconds on the clock, needing to travel 99 yards for the go-ahead score. Robinson found Bryant for 23 yards and scrambled for 13 before completing a 14-yard pass to Bryant, which placed the ball at the Texas 49 with six seconds left. The Cowboys had one last chance, but Robinson's deep ball was knocked down.
"He's just absolutely amazing with his accuracy and toughness," Texas head coach Mack Brown said of McCoy. "He's running the ball well and he's leading this team well. He was really taking a deep shot on the one that was intercepted, and the fumble where the ball was jerked out of his hands was really close."
After the clubs exchanged punts to begin the contest, the Longhorns started their second drive of the game from their own seven-yard line. McCoy found Shipley on a fade pattern for a 14-yard touchdown, capping the 11-play drive with 1:47 to play in the first quarter. The TD pass was the 20th of the year for the Heisman hopeful.
OSU had something brewing on the its next possession, but Hunter was stripped of the ball and the Longhorns recovered at their own nine with just under a minute left in the opening frame.
Texas went the other way as McCoy directed a nine-play drive that ended with a 14-yard touchdown run by Vondrell McGee. Five times this season the Longhorns have orchestrated a scoring drive of 90-plus yards.
The Cowboys, though, answered with a nine-play series. An 11-yard pass from Robinson to Bryant moved the chains on third down and spotted the ball at the Texas 23. Hunter then atoned for his earlier miscue, bursting around the left side and scampering down the far sideline for the 23-yard score.
Quan Cosby then hauled in a 17-yard TD strike as he was falling down to give the Longhorns a 21-7 lead with 4:18 to go in the first half. Perrish Cox returned the ensuing kickoff 52 yards before he was knocked out of bounds at the Texas 29. Seven plays later, Robinson hooked up with Bo Bowling on a quick slant for a nine-yard touchdown and OSU went into halftime down 21-14.
OSU was forced to punt on the initial drive of the second half and Texas got the ball at its own 16-yard line. On 3rd-and-1 from the OSU 21, McCoy was picked off by Cox, but a roughing the passer penalty negated the turnover and McCoy eventually capped the 10-play drive with a quarterback draw from the three for a score and a 28-14 lead.
Game Notes
McCoy completed a school-record 18 consecutive passes at one point in the game, breaking his own mark of 17 he set last week against Missouri...Shipley set a school record by catching a TD pass in his eighth consecutive game, breaking the old mark of seven set by Limas Sweed in 2006...Cosby had eight receptions for 76 yards, while Ogbonnaya added seven for 73...Brandon Pettigrew led all Cowboys receivers with 83 yards on eight grabs...Texas finished 11-for-14 on third down...The Longhorns lead the all-time series 21-2. Oklahoma State has not beaten Texas since October 4, 1997.

It's time to upgrade! The upgrade toolkit for NAV 5.0 is available on PartnerSource.
The main goal of the upgrade tool itself is to convert your existing data with the old version table and field structure so it can function with the new table and field structure in the new version. It modifies the table objects and table data as a part of the data conversion. All other objects like forms, reports, codeunits and dataports are a part of the customization merge process and are imported during the data conversion.
The toolkit is more than a tool to convert your data for use in the newer version. It also includes documentation to help guide you through the process.
The NAV 5.0 upgrade toolkit can be used to upgrade directly from 3.70 or 4.0. If you are using a version prior to 3.70, you will need to do a two-step conversion process. First upgrade from your current version to 4.0 using the 4.0 upgrade toolkit and then upgrade to 5.0 using the new toolkit.
People often ask why there are manual steps in the upgrade process. The main reason is for flexibility. NAV is designed to be flexible to meet the specific needs of our customers. This flexibility to customize the way NAV is used, also means that people are using NAV data differently and need the flexibility in the way the upgrade of the data is done. The upgrade tool will take care of most of the conversion using standard rules in a standard way, but the process also leaves room to provide flexibility.
Check out the NAV 5.0 Upgrade Toolkit on PartnerSource from the Microsoft Dynamics NAV 5.0 Download Page.
Lisa Mitchell
I am upgrading from a NAV 3.10A to NAV5.0 which mean I need to do the upgrade twice (to NAV 4.0 then to NAV 5.0 - MY localizationon SQL db). Moving from 3.10 to 4.0 has 4 additional NAV standard fields in Table 15 of NAV 4.0. This gives an error when I import the customized object for Table 15 into the converted db.
Current solution - export data, clear table, import object, and import data (but table 17 is also affected). Difficult because db is 13GB.
I can't find the MY upgrade toolkit from 3.10 to 4.0 in Partnersource either so I am using the W1 version.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Obama courts Malaysia while nudging on rights
Published on Apr 27, 2014 4:42 PM
KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - President Barack Obama nudged Malaysia on Sunday over its controversial handling of dissent but made clear Washington intended to deepen its friendship with a country it considers vital to US objectives in the Asia-Pacific.
Mr Obama also offered continued US support in the search for missing flight MH370 as he held talks with Prime Minister Najib Razak, after which the two leaders declared the start of a warmer new era in relations.
"Today across a whole range of areas - security, trade, and regional institutions - we are working more closely than ever before," Mr Obama said during a joint press conference, calling Malaysia "central" to stability in South-east Asia.
During a trip that started in Japan and South Korea and finishes in the Philippines on Tuesday, Mr Obama has reinforced US security support for regional allies alarmed by China's claims to vast maritime expanses around the region.

Not very snug7/25/2012
This case doesn't fit my HTC EVO very snugly. The phone seems loose within the case. Also I decided not to use this case because it easily attracts dust and lint.
Great Product and Delivered in Timely Manner3/5/2012
I have been hearing about the Otterbox products and had to get one for my HTC Evo 4g. It fits and feels great on my phone, Thanks
Does what it's supposed to7/21/2011
I'm not sure there's a "perfect" case for the EVO yet. Since they've now had over a year to work on it, there may never be. The Otter is about as good as there is; very rugged and decently stylish. It's not the most form fitting case there is, but I'm not convinced that was the intent. The control cut outs are nice and precise and the texture is great. For the current price, it's hard to lose.
Too loose!6/26/2011
After using it for a couple of days, the case became so loose that there is a gap of almost 1/4" at the top. Do they not measure these phones before they make cases for them? I have bought so many cases for my EVO that I have lost count. The ONLY one that has worked reasonably well for an extended period of time is an Amzer case that I paid about $5 for.
Fantastic Service + Great Product1/18/2011
Product came quickly, in pristine condition! I love the Otter Box skin, it's not too bulky with a nice soft grip. It's not quite as snug as some other hard cases, but that's the point! It does what it needs to do. Nice and sturdy too! Offers more than enough protection for my baby! A++2 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

"How can you pick the best in the West?" one top NHL executive told ESPN.com. "All those top clubs are strong. It's a toss-up based on luck, goalies and health."
Which brings us back to the East and the Bruins. At the beginning of the season, we would have put the Pittsburgh Penguins in a similar "fortress" category in the East, but they have endured an ungodly number of injuries that will see them exceed 500 man games lost, by far the most in the league.
The injuries along with Marc-Andre Fleury's recent playoff foibles in net have led many to jump from the Penguins' bandwagon, and there is concern that the Penguins might not get out of the first round against the Columbus Blue Jackets.
The NHL executive we spoke to still put the Penguins above the fray, but as for the rest of the Eastern Conference playoff teams, he believes there is little to distinguish the group below the two division winners in the East.
Another NHL GM agreed that the Bruins have separated themselves from the pack in the East and look like they're ready to take on all comers.
"I think they're the favorites," he told ESPN.com.
Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli admits there might have been concern at the start of the season while faced with replacing the right side of his top three lines after the departures of Jaromir Jagr, Tyler Seguin and Nathan Horton from last season's squad that advanced to its second Stanley Cup finals since 2011. But Loui Eriksson, Jarome Iginla and Reilly Smith, while representing players at varying stages of their respective careers, have all fit seamlessly with a Bruins team that led the Eastern Conference in both goals per game (third in the NHL) and goals allowed per game (second in the league).
The common denominator?
"They're all strong two-way players," Chiarelli told ESPN.com on the eve of the playoffs.
And strong two-way hockey is the hallmark of coach Claude Julien and the calling card of this team.
At the heart of the Bruins' strength is the core of players who have grown up in the organization over the past five years or so, first facing crushing disappointment by blowing a 3-0 series lead against the Philadelphia Flyers in 2010 before rebounding the following year to win the team's first championship since 1972, and then following it up with a return to the finals last spring.
If it sounds like a cliché, so be it, but guys such as captain Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Milan Lucic, Chris Kelly, Shawn Thornton and Johnny Boychuk simply know what it takes. You can see it in the way that players agreed to rest during the stretch run, something that is sometimes difficult to get players to buy into.
"I think that's a good indicator. They know what the goal is," Chiarelli said. "It sounds like it's kind of a hokey answer, but it's true."
The continued evolution of that core -- Bergeron, for one, has been on a torrid offensive pace while maintaining his strong two-way game en route to what should be another Selke Trophy nomination, while Chara is once again in the heart of Norris Trophy discussion -- has allowed for younger players to move seamlessly into important roles.
Torey Krug and Dougie Hamilton have become key members of a deep defensive corps that is without veteran Dennis Seidenberg for the playoffs due to injury.

Sheraton Langkawi Beach Resort
Local Area
All the 99 islands in the Langkawi archipelago have been designated as the Langkawi Geopark, South East Asia's first Geopark with a land area stretching 478 square kilometers.
Board the Langkawi cable car for some breathtaking views of the islands, rural lowlands and the seas as far as Thailand. Take in the hillside flora, a bird's eye view of the Telaga Tujuh waterfalls and the occasional glimpse of the wildlife, including some high-flying birds.
Buffs of mystical tales will enjoy exploring the local sites, which are steeped in ancient legend. See the shimmering waters of Tasik Dayang Bunting, said to be the favourite bathing pool of a celestial princess. Experience Gua Cherita, a cave steeped in a fabled story of mystery and romance. Or, stroll through Makam Mahsuri, a mausoleum erected in honour of a beautiful maiden unjustly accused of adultery. There are as many stories as there are sites in this magical part of the world.
For those craving city sights, Kuah is the place to be. Once a rustic town with a few streets, it is today a thriving centre with modern hotels, shopping, and business complexes. It's also a duty free shopping haven with a tempting range of local and luxury goods, and plenty of restaurants offering various culinary delights—especially fresh seafood. And don't miss the Pasar Malam—the night market—where locals gather to sell handcrafted goods and traditional Malay foods.
A five minute distance from the resort you find "Telaga Harbour", a spanking new gateway and destination for yachts plying the region that's accessible by both road and sea. A safe and sheltered harbour, it evolved from a small, idyllic fishing village into a self-contained township with its own bank and postal service; shops, food outlets, as well as fuel and bunkering service.

Amazon says thousands of deals will be ready per day. Among the ranks, we spotted a few gadgets, appliances, media and other tech temptations getting ready for release across multiple categories.

Cyber Monday has become Amazon's biggest day for "m-commerce," or shopping from mobile devices. According to the company, smartphone and tablet users picked up more than five toys per second from the site during this same period last year. Clearly, it's doubling down on that business now, using its app to appeal to these consumers with mobile-only offers. If it succeeds, it might even help the shopping site dig its way out of the $170 million hole left by its gadget division.
So if you haven't quite seen the discount you've been looking for, take heart: Amazon may just shoot it to your phone before long.

Further hearing posted to December 2nd week
The Supreme Court on Monday extended its stay of a Madras High Court judgment ordering the closure of the copper plant of Sterlite Industries (India) Ltd. at Tuticorin and discharge of its workers on payment of compensation.
A Bench of Justices R.V. Raveendran and H.L. Gokhale during 'mentioning' on October 1 stayed the judgment given by a High Court Division Bench of Justice Elipe Dharma Rao and Justice Paul Vasanthakumar on September 28 and posted the matter for hearing on Monday.
The Bench after hearing senior counsel C.A. Sundaram for Sterlite Industries, senior counsel V. Prakash for the National Trust for Clean Environment (NTCE) and counsel Harish Kumar for the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB), issued notice to the Union of India, the Tamil Nadu government, the TNPCB, the NTCE, MDMK general secretary Vaiko and others, who were petitioners before the High Court, and directed the matter to be listed for further hearing in the second week of December.
Earlier, when Mr. Sundaram submitted that there had not been single violation of pollution or environmental laws after 1996, Justice Raveendran told counsel, "You have not filed two reports of the National Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI) which are against you. Reports which are in your favour you have filed the full report, but when it is against you, only synopsis is filed."
Mr. Prakash submitted that no study had been conducted so far on public health and the company had not complied with the norms on disposal of solid waste.
The Bench in its order directed the company to file the two NEERI reports of November 1998 and March 2005 and gave liberty to the company for filing other reports also. It also directed the company to file an affidavit whether it had complied with the various conditions on disposal of solid waste.
In its special leave petition, the company pointed out that the order was passed on public interest petitions filed 14 years ago in 1996, when allegations were made on violation of pollution control and environment norms by it. Between 1996 and 1999, the High Court issued various directions. All were complied with.
The plant was being operated for more than a decade with the consent and approval of statutory authorities without complaints.
The TNPCB had informed the High Court that the company complied with all statutory conditions. The company had a turnover of Rs.13,000 crore and about 2.3 lakh shareholders; 1,100 employees and 2,500 people were employed indirectly. It was the largest manufacturer and exporter of copper.
The High Court had ignored the fact that order of complete closure was irremediable. It had ignored the very purpose of orders passed involving pollution control — to ensure pollution control norms are followed.
The judgment was based on apprehensions, assumptions and presumptions. None of the petitions related to an actual incident of violation of pollution norms. Not a single complaint had been filed against the company. Closure would result in irreparable loss and have serious consequences, it said.
Keywords: Sterlite, pollution control, smelting plant case

During the Q&A session that ended Berea's college-wide symposium recently, a student asked speakers Margie Richard, Jennifer Osha and Craig Williams if there was really any way to save or undo the harm that has been done to the environment. Their answer was a resounding "yes!"
"Don't dwell on the past and say that nothing can be done," added Richard. "Take what happened in the past and move forward."
The guest speakers at the symposium "Environmental Justice: Transforming Values Into Action," Osha, Richard and Williams are grassroots activists with significant experience in fighting against chemical pollution and other threats to the environment. Richard and Williams are recent recipients of the international Goldman Environmental Prize for their outstanding work in grassroots environmental organizations, and Osha has spent the last six years campaigning against mountaintop removal mining. Each speaker shared his or her experiences and advice with the audience, hoping to inspire, educate and inform.
Osha is an activist, teacher, singer and mother who currently heads the non-profit organization Aurora Lights. She also produced "Moving Mountains," a compilation CD of performances and interviews with citizens affected by mountaintop removal. Her presentation at the symposium focused on the social and environmental impacts of mountaintop removal mining, explaining the process ("You start from the top and you go down.") and effects of the mining.
"Mountaintop removal, for me, is a destruction and obliteration of everything I love," said Osha, after discussing the harm that mining does to trees and wildlife. She also detailed the leftovers from mountaintop removal, such as valley fills and slurry impoundments, which can pose a constant threat to nearby communities. "Fear is perhaps the most destructive social impact of mountaintop removal mining."
Osha also entertained the audience with two songs, "Keepers of the Mountains" and "The Fiddler's Ballad," accompanied by friend and Berea faculty member José Pimienta-Bey on guitar.
Margie Richard, a retired school teacher from Louisiana, was the first African American to receive the Goldman Environmental Prize in 2004. She received the award for her 13-year fight against a Shell refinery and chemical plant near her community. To prove that the plant was causing cancer, birth defects, asthma and other health issues in her community, she conducted a campaign of educations, air-quality testing and negotiation. Finally, in a landmark move, Shell agreed to pay to relocate the residents of the community.
"Talking among ourselves is not going to get us anywhere," said Richard. She spoke about racism, faith and the ways in which one can work to win a battle like hers.
"There is only one race, and that is the human race," said Richard, "So you need to give yourself a hand just for being alive and being here."
She also encouraged the members of the audience to follow in her footsteps, saying, "If you don't do it, tell me who will."
Craig Williams is a decorated Vietnam veteran and Berea local who successfully convinced the Pentagon to stop plans to incinerate stockpiles of chemical weapons stored in multiple locations around the United States. He started a nationwide grassroots coalition called the Chemical Weapons Working Group (CWWG), based in Berea's College Square, and through their efforts a safer neutralization method for the chemical weapons was developed. He received a Goldman Environmental Prize in 2006 for his efforts.
Williams drew the audience into a game called "Guess the Technology," as he asked them to match the eight stockpiles of chemical weapons in U.S. with the disposal technique being used at the location. He revealed that communities with higher poverty levels and a greater percentage of minority population were more likely to get the old incineration treatment than the safer neutralization technique, and that there was still more work to be done before the chemical weapons stockpiles were neutralized.
"A clean environment is necessary to fulfill the definition of 'human rights,'" said Williams.
The speakers then gathered to answer questions from the audience. Many of the questions involved how students could get involved and help their own communities. The speakers suggested that they get in touch with grass-roots organizations, volunteer, make class projects apply to a real issue, take internships, write letters and more. The audience was left with the feeling that they, too, could help make a difference and take action for the environment.
The symposium was co-sponsored by African and African American Studies, Womens Studies, Sustainability and Environmental Studies and the Convocations program. More information about the speakers and the Goldman Environmental Prize is available at the links below.

Force unclock or low power mode
I have an 8800GT and I'm running the 180.44 drivers. I can see in the the nvidia control panel that I am running in the "Desktop" profile yet the card still seems fully clocked and is hovering around 68C. The ambient case temperature is 55C which seems high since the inside of the case doesn't feel that hot and it is a Cooler Master Centurion 5 with plenty of fans. I've blown out all of the dust and lint but the temp hasn't changed. I only use the computer for web development, firefox and such, so performance isn't much of an issue.
Are there any options I can pass the driver to lower my temperature?

Poor being turned away from free cancer screenings
ALBANY, N.Y. As the economy falters and more people go without health insurance, low-income women in at least 20 states are being turned away or put on long waiting lists for free cancer screenings, according to the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network.
In the unofficial survey of programs for July 2008 through April 2009, the organization found that state budget strains are forcing some programs to reject people who would otherwise qualify for free mammograms and Pap smears. Just how many are turned away isn't known; in some cases, the women are screened through other programs or referred to different providers.
"I cried and I panicked," said Erin LaBarge, 47. This would have been her third straight year receiving a free mammogram through the screening program in St. Lawrence County. But the Norwood, N.Y., resident was told she couldn't get her free mammogram this year because there isn't enough money and she's not old enough.
New York used to screen women of all ages, but this year the budget crunch has forced them to focus on those considered at highest risk and exclude women under 50.
"It's a scary thought. It really is," said LaBarge, who fears she's at a higher risk because her grandmother died of breast cancer.
The Cancer Society doesn't have an estimate for what percentage of breast cancer diagnoses come from mammogram screenings, but says women have a 98 percent survival rate when breast cancer is caught early, during stage I. That shrinks to about 84 percent during stages II and III, and just 27 percent at stage IV - when cancer has reached its most advanced point.
"I already know there are women who are dying whose lives we could have saved with mammography and other detections," said Dr. Otis Brawley, chief medical officer for the society.
In New York, the Cancer Society says providers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and western Queens, and in Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties project they'll perform nearly 15,000 fewer free mammograms for the fiscal year ending April 2010, compared with the previous year.
The Cancer Society has no way to count how many women are being turned away, and many providers don't keep track of how many are denied screening, or whether those women find another alternative. The cost of screening varies, but the average mammogram is about $100, while a Pap screen can range between $75 and $200, according to the society.
Project Renewal Van Scan, which gives mammograms around New York City, usually targets 6,000 women a year but has cut back to 3,100 this year, director Mary Solomon said.
Each state handles free screenings differently. Some use state funds to supplement federal funding, while others get private assistance from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure foundation and other groups.
At least 14 states cut budgets for free cancer screenings this year: Colorado, Montana, Illinois, Alabama, Minnesota, Connecticut, South Carolina, Utah, Missouri, Washington, Ohio, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and Arkansas.
Some states that have cut their budgets have found ways to maintain services; some states that haven't reduced their budgets still find themselves having to turn women away because they don't have enough funding.
