Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are metabolic disorders, for which there is no complete cure
DHARWAD: Governments in the State and at the Centre should come forward to fund research on neurodegenerative disorders, V.I. Hukkeri, Registrar, Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences, has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating a national level seminar on `Management of Neurodenegrative Disorders Challenges and Opportunites' organised by Soniya Education Trust's College of Pharmacy here on Sunday. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's Disease and Alzheimer's Disease are metabolic disorders, for which there is no complete cure at present.
It is essential that the governments fund research on the topic, he said.
Since it is not possible to induce the disorders in animals, it has become extremely difficult to produce drugs for these disorders, Prof. Harish, Member Secretary, Board of Examining Authority of Karnataka, said.
H.V. Dambal, President of Soniya Education Trust; Roopa H. Dambal, its vice-president; S.V. Dambal, its secretary; and V.H. Kulkarni, college principal, were present.

John Ralston
With his second solo disc — after previously helming local outfit Legends of Rodeo — Florida homeboy John Ralston builds on the strength of his critically acclaimed debut, Needle Bed. He has created something akin to a seminal milestone. Finding the perfect mix of attitude and ambiance, Ralston crafts a sound that begs an instant connection — rich, textured, atmospheric anthems imbued with brooding discontent. But he isn't your typical emo underdog; instrumental overdubs and an agitated underbelly give Sorry Vampire a heady mystique as affecting and provocative as its title implies. Unlike his good pal and labelmate Chris Carrabba (Dashboard Confessional), with whom he frequently tours, Ralston merges his downcast gaze with loftier ambitions. "I Guess I Wasted My Summer Now" betrays his fondness for Brian Wilson's bedroom symphonies and soothing harmonies. The closing track, "Where You Used to Sleep," reflects a certain Beatle's fascination for the droning Mellotrons, guiding the song into its final fade. Whether effusive (the exuberant "Ghetto Tested," the anthemic "No One Loves You Like I Do"), or elusive (the troubled "The Only Evidence," the achingly ethereal "Beautiful Disarmed"), Ralston never settles for self-absorption. Instead he opts for a grand statement both sumptuous and sublime.

Model of Intellectual Disability and the Relationship of Attitudes Towards the Sexuality of Persons with an Intellectual Disability
- Monika Parchomiuk
- … show all 1 hide
The following article discusses the relationship between the model of intellectual disability and the attitudes towards sexuality of people with disabilities. This correlation has been verified during the author's own research conducted on students of several medical faculties such as nursing, public health, emergency medical services and physiotherapy. Tools of the author's design have been used in the research. Likert-type scale "Perspective of intellectual disability" has been used to determine the model of disability seen from the medical (individual) or social perspective. To examine the attitudes towards sexuality two tools of the author's own design have been used: a Likert-type scale "The essence of sexuality in persons with an intellectual disability" which has been used to analyze the cognitive aspect of the attitudes, and a semantic differential with notions concerning physical and psychosocial aspects of sexuality including the affective-evaluative aspect. As expected, significant correlations have been found between the model and the attitudes both in the cognitive and the affective-evaluative aspect. Higher scores for the individual model correlated with: (a) lover scores for most aspects of sexuality of people with intellectual disability, (b) perceiving them as asexual, (c) biological determinism in the sexual sphere. The social model concurred with positive values given to sexuality of people with intellectual disability and its normalization in the sphere of its determinants and symptoms.

Tech Weekly podcast: Twitter restricts app access, Apple and Google's subscription plans, Tablets and MeeGo from MWC
Aleks Krotoski and Jemima Kiss talk through this week's biggest tech headlines, discussing the buoyant future for the digital scene.
Twitter's heavy-handed action against the developers of the UberTwitter and Twidroyd apps suggests a shakedown from the top of the pile, as the company transforms from one service among many into a platform courted by Facebook and Google.
Social games company Zynga is on the verge of a big investment deal, suggesting that their diversification model – from games to merchandise, to virtual goods to advertising – is the next evolution of companies eager to surf the Web 2.0 bubble. And Apple and Google battle it out for the most robust subscription service that doesn't alienate consumers, stifle the fertile apps market or – most importantly – ostracise developers.
Charles Arthur rounds up the coverage from Mobile World Congress, including a chat with Stan Mo from MeeGo, intel's and Nokia's open operating system that had been the shining light, until Nokia announced last week that it was only packaging one piece of kit with it in the next financial year.

As the characters from harry potter are gaining popularity on the battle forums, and interesting question arises. Why not just use bullets to shoot the death eaters dead? Famously, No magic can revive the dead, so it would've helped both the good and bad sides immensely.
Let's discuss such inconsistencies here, so that we can have a ready reference for the threads, and it will keep the threads clear of these discussions. (Hopefully).
So here we go.
Inconsistency 1: Why not use the easy way?
Direct to the problem, why no one tried to kill Lord voldemort by a sniper/machine gun? what will happen if it hits? or his head is chopped off by a sword? Does an average joe stand a chance against Voldemort if given a good quality gun?
Feel free to call on the harry potter experts/fans to discuss the urgent matters here :D

Each year in Orange County over 100 children are newly diagnosed with some form of cancer. Combined with children already undergoing treatment, hundreds of families share a common challenge as they are all dealing with stresses that are unimaginable to people who have never been touched by childhood cancer. Medical, financial, emotional, and social hardships can be overwhelming for patients, parents and siblings during treatment. With this in mind, the Orange County Foundation for Oncology Children and Families (OCF-OCF) provides support activities, free of charge, to pediatric cancer patients and their families who live or receive treatment in Orange County.

Joanna, selby
Have had these for 6 months now, and the style is great, the fit is brilliant (I'm a UK9 with average width - these are spot on), they're comfortable too, having walked several miles in them at a time. The leather outer is excellent quality and has stood up well to winter wear. All wear to them so far is nothing that a good polish can't sort out! The sole was also brilliant in the damp and slippery weather. My only slight issue with these is that I may not be able to get a similar sole on them when the time comes for replacement, but that won't be for at least another year yet, so I'll worry about that when the time comes!

I am very disappointed with the Mariella Busby I bought them intermittently whilst waiting for the African Magic Ones (soul of Africa) to be delivered. I wasn't going to keep both, but then I decided as they were both nice and versatile I would keep both. I have left a review for the African Magic ones- they are wonderful. Unfortunately, after wearing these for three hours around the shops I had to return home early as they were excruciatingly painful. Very surprising that I got very little warning...for the first hour they are comfortable and after 2-3 hours they are unbearable thank goodness the African Soul ones are good. I have worn the Mariella Busby three times...In hope that they break in...can't bear to wear them again. What a waste of £80!! Might return to the shop and see what they say. Feedback from Emma at Clarks: Thank you for leaving a review and we're sorry to hear you didn't find these shoes comfy. We know that everyone's feet are different and so do our best to provide shoes to suit all shapes and sizes but in the end comfort is a personal thing. We value all our customer feedback so thank you for your comments which have been fed back to our team.

I ordered the 7 wide fit. I am really pleased with the quality of the leather and non-slip sole. The fit is good. There is a useful tag to help pull them on. These boots are ready to wear, with no having to break them in like some footwear. If there is one slight criticism, it's that I would have liked the toe to have been a tinier bit more pointy making them slightly trendier. Overall I am happy that I am going to be wearing these classic boots for a long time!

Very comfortable boots, and versatile too. However, the heel has no grip whatsoever so they are pretty dangerous on any type of smooth/slippery surface... particularly in the rain. Feedback from Clarks: We are very proud of the quality of our products and to ensure this all our new designs and materials are tested before they go on sale. If you are disappointed with any of our products please return to a store with your receipt so a member of staff can investigate.

Marcia, orpington
bought these boots in black approx 3-4 weeks ago tried them on in store fitted well and very comfortable. The first time I wore them it was raining and one of the boots felt like it was letting water in. Thought it was just me. Wore them again and felt the same thing again. Rang Clarks who advised me to take it to my local store for a leak test. The store water tested it and Lo and behold the boot had been letting water in. As I do or did love these boots I decided to exchange for another pair. Wore them yesterday unfortunately it was raining again by the time I got to work and took off the boots both feet where big toes are you could see the wet marks on my socks and water marks in the boots. Have contacted Clarks again who have advised to return. So very very disappointed obviously a faulty boot or batch will be getting a refund or trying a different style. Has anyone had any similar issues with this style?

I ordered these boots just 3 days ago and they arrived this afternoon (Friday), despite the fact when ordered on Tuesday night it said expected delivery was Monday so excellent service from Clarks. Haven't yet worn the boots, but have tried them on and find them very comfortable to walk in (I have mobility issues and struggle to walk in some shoes and boots). Clarks excel again.

I have been meaning to buy some black ankle boots for some time and thought I was too late and the season was changing! However I found this great little boot 20% off!! The sole is really good, with some grip rather than it being smooth, and also a thicker feeling sole. The leather is supple and although a snug size 6 fit, this will stretch. All together just what i wanted!

My thoughts on returning to iPhone.
I left the Apple phone eco-sphere after I changed from iPhone 3GS to a Samsung galaxy s2, back in early 2011. I decided against an iPhone 4/4S because I didn't like the form factor, shape, design, really anything about it. I thought and still think the iPhone 4 is a bad design.
I moved to the Galaxy S2 (and then S3), which I have used consistently for 2 years - I thought it was good. I convinced myself it was superior to the Apple iPhone. I have been telling people - evangelising even - that Apple was over. That the iOS was dated and inferior to Android. A little background about me - I used to be a software engineer by trade. I'm not completely technologically illiterate basically.
My thoughts, having gotten an iphone 5 again recently. It is simply superior in every way to Android (Samsung flavours). Android OS is overly engineered and overly complicated. I think the UI design is just poor. It's too busy.
Samsung phones are significantly worse in build quality - so much so that it is incomparable.
My Samsung phones came stuff full of crap akin to Windows PCs of the late 2000's. 'Samsung app store' 'Samsung social network' 'Media Centre' etc etc tons of junk you don't want and don't need. It's like having 'news stand' 100 times over. And you can't delete it. It's like having AOL on your computer and being unable to remove it.
The apple support is second to none. I missed this especially. If something goes wrong with a Samsung phone - good luck. Post it off? Contact your cell provider? With apple - go to the shop. They will just replace it (in my experience, this may have changed recently?).
Yes there are bad points - apple accessories are over-priced. Yes, the company has a walled garden ecosystem. But in my opinion, the iPhone is the best phone on the market.
The screen dimensions of the iPhone 5 are perfect for me. I love the shape of the phone and will be disappointed if they follow akin to the S3/S4/Note style that in my opinion is far far too big for a portable device.
There may be reasons to get an android device. Perhaps I am not in their target demographic - I call, send messages & emails, use the internet and listen to music. That is all - and for that set of purposes iPhone is unbeatable.

This is like my situation but kind of the opposite. I'm thinking of getting the Samsung Galaxy S4 but I just love how IOS is perfectly built although it may be a tad boring now.

You will never rip the Note 2 from my cold dead hands. Using my wife's iPhone 5 for about 10 minutes gives me large screen withdrawal pains.
The iPhone has it's place. My wife does not care about large screens, customizations, specs, removable batteries and sd cards. She likes it because apps are pretty and the interface is simple. I noticed that Apple users have basic requirements and this will be the reason why iOS 7 will not deviate from previous versions. The majority of Apple's target audience do not want to have a complex OS. I see Apple only dealing in pretty and simple. Just look at the camera app vs Samsungs/HTC's camera app; simple vs features.
My wife will most likely stay with Apple while I will stay with Android. As a hardcore Android user I did not have to bash Apple here. I would recommend Apple to anyone I see not having the tech skill or the need for a larger screen. I love driving stick-shift cars and motorcycles while others like automatics and scooters. I wouldn't recommend a stick shift or motorcycle to my wife. And I wouldn't recommend Android to everyone.

The iPad is a dying idea and Tim Cook has nothing to replace it with except for a yearly revision. The market is flooded with millions of these devices. My wife still uses her 1st gen and is confirmation that Apple products do last. It's a catch 22; why upgrade if it just works?

|Apr 20, 2013, 12:56 PM
And the fact that you're a software engineer yet didn't see the flaws in the Android design; Bloatware, OS Fragmentation and Apps as compared to IOS? You didn't see the advantages of having updates directly from the manufacturer as opposed to going through carrier approval?
You only need to call, message, use internet and music, yet the "form factor" of the iPhone 4 turned you off, even though it did all of those things just as well or better? If you were a hardware engineer you would appreciate the design of the iPhone 4. It is easily a classic piece of hardware.
I hate to tell you this, but you are exactly the demographic they target.
|Apr 20, 2013, 02:23 PM
That is just my opinion.
I have a 3GS which was given to me, and I preordered an iPhone 5 and got it on launch day. I could have got a 4 or 4S on Sprint (my carrier) when they originally came out, but seeing how fugly they were compared to a 3GS I waited for the iPhone 5 and hoped it would be a better redesign. It was and I love my iPhone 5. I know plenty of people with the iPhone 4 and I just can't believe how ugly the device is. Again, just my opinion.
I come from a Windows Mobile background, but I own lots of Macs and have a few iDevices, so I'm no Apple hater. However, I refuse to drink the Apple koolaid. Apple makes some ugly devices some times and the iPhone 4/4S was one of them.
Not my idea of a classic (let alone classy) iPhone

The iPhone 5 has that black 2001 (the movie) monolith thing going (don't get me started on the white iPhone 5, ugh!) and that really attracts me. Maybe it's the fact that I like black and the iPhone 5 has varying shades of it.

Thanks for info, OP, I'm even more convinced now to not switch to Samsung. Bloatware and lousy build quality is worse than the lack of large display IMO. But if I didn't have an iPad, perhaps I would see it differently.

Im so glad to see this thread up as i'm currently feeling the same way as the OP except i dont have an iphone yet(going to wait for the 5S at this point), i have my GS3 still. i was strictly an ios user back then from the 3GS to the 4 and then the 4S. When i had the 4S i got EXTREMELY bored with ios although it was reliable and worked.
SO i decided to jump ship to android last year and get the GS3. Ive loved this phone and got to the point where i would tell everyone to get android phones and would never imagine me getting an iphone again. That is, until after 9 months with the S3, ive had many problems with the phone sometimes it would work great and sometimes not. I would customize it with different launchers and icon themes and download many apps and widgets, you name it. Found it to be a lot of fun but now i realize i'm bored with my phone as well. I find myself spending too much time on trying to make it work and customizing and changing things around, maintenance with the Ram and multitasking. Force closing my messaging apps, and ive installed them all. For the most part they work but many times even more frequently now, i get freeze ups, touch screen stops responding. i try to open the apps and they start loading, and loading and then slow to respond. i feel like i cant be productive and yes i know that putting custom roms and rooting my phone would probably fix that,but at this point in time i just want a reliable, productive, speedy, phone that i can just use and can get all the latest well designed apps first(an issue on android). Once the novelty of customizing and spending hours on changing up the look of your phone wears off, nothing satisfies you and then youre left with an unreliable phone that annoys you whenever you want to get something done.
just in case any android users read this, i am on Jellybean 4.1.2 (with ProjectButter) and overall the UI is fast and smoother than in icecream sandwich but it is not quite there yet. more refining needs to be done and stability of the android OS needs to be improved. The Apps are generally badly written even top name ones are just ports from IOS.

The main reason i stick with iOS is because of it being so smooth. I switched from the S3 because of all the problems i was having with the OS. They can add whatever they like to iOS7 or Key Lime Pie, personally i think everything will just be gimmicks for both. Just give me a nice fluid OS that doesn't lag and i am happy.
If i want to have fun i will download a game.

I remember being a young boy and not being able to understand my dads (a software engineer) lack of desire to tinker with software at home. He was impatient with poorly functioning interfaces and software. How life has gone full circle..! (except I left coding behind..)

I never understood all the talk about iOS getting boring. You use the apps on a phone, the operating system only serves as a platform to run those apps. Unless, of course, customizing wallpapers every half-day or wasting time browsing through widgets saves you from boredom.
The problem with these huge Android phones is that they're too big. No one can say that it's not a ridiculous pain to use those phones one handed. I have an S3 and a Note 2 (yes, I know), and neither got used for more than three weeks. I had to fumble with the phone everytime I wanted to use it. The large screen was nice, but I found that it wasn't big enough in many cases, which sort of minimized the utility of the larger screen. I think Apple realizes this which is why they didnt make the jump to a bigger screen on the iPhone 5. Now, clearly there's still some sort of a market for a bigger phone, so maybe Apple will offer more than one size in the future.

I felt the same way after having used HTC One for only a day. It was too "busy" and overly engineered. The cons far outweighed the pros.
Here is a link to my thread discussing why I returned the phone: http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1572825
The android fans complain that I didn't give the phone enough time or that the phone is too "advanced" for some users. That's not the issue at all. Having more flexibility with the OS is great, but if you don't make the basic features (phone, email, voicemail, etc) user friendly then all those overly complicated fancy features mean nothing. The phone was way too finicky. I need my phone to be more practical. I plan on upgrading from the iphone 4 to 5s.
|Apr 20, 2013, 10:37 PM
I agree. I started off originally with the iphone 3gs, then to the 4, and then decided that I would try a HTC one XL, after convincing myself I needed my phone to be everything except a phone. Android is great, don't get me wrong, it certainly appeals to a certain type of person, and apart from it's fragmentation of it's os, it's definitely evolving and it's GREAT for tablet devices.
What drew me back to IOS and now the iphone 5 was the OS. I love tweaking things, and I have built my own server, gaming & video editing pc's at home and I love technology, but I also love easy to use, simple & fluid software.
I use my phone in my job everyday, I use it as a TOOL to get things done easily, not to say I don't play the occasional game of temple run and fifa but I still use it first and foremost to call, text, email & bank. The iphone os is stable, solid & still kicks ass. It doesn't have the frivolous design of the android devices and I accomplish much more, faster with my iphone.
I just got a nice big case for it, and it allows me to have a durable, sturdy phone & enjoy the benefits of the simple, fluid iOS operating system. I think for me personally, I enjoy a simple experience on my phone, I don't want to overclock my phone, nor rom it, or root it or even " jail break it " at the moment, I'm quite happy with using the 4g network, and just enjoying the phone as a phone but also having a cool little apps and stuff to do. It truly is a great device. I didn't have a level the other day in my job, so I used one of my apps, worked great

Family Guy and The Simpsons Crossover Episode
D'oh…nuts! Homer Simpson and his clan make a guest appearance on the Sept. 28 season premiere of Family Guy (9/8c, Fox) when the Griffins visit Springfield.
Brats Bart and Stewie team up for trouble, Lisa teaches Meg how to play the sax, and Homer and Peter shoot the bull over brewskis. "We let [the Family Guy team] do their thing with the script," says The Simpsons executive producer Al Jean. "Both shows are all about satire. We weren't about to say, 'You can't make fun of us!'"

Yeah, that'd be stupid. I simply use: "My password is NOT 12345".
I think most *nix related channels have had such experiences. Even so, I found that using addresses such as 127.10.45.65 proofed to be way more effective than the "easily recognizable" default address.
Some stuff seems hardwired into the system. Well, that is; maybe you can configure it but I haven't found that yet.
So; insert an audio CD and the Metro cd player will pop up.
Cool, nice to see they're still in business. This sure brings back memories!
I've used Stardocks object desktop (iirc) on OS/2 for years. Not so much because the default was lacking or something, but because their software really enhanced the options. Good to see they now turned their attention to Windows.
As others have comment already; for all we know this could be due to erosion or other effects.
FootprintS are just that; several nearly identical prints which clearly indicate the presence of a being capable of motion. Yet this article only talks about one specific feature which could be explained as a "3 toed footprint" but IMO several other explanations are also quite valid as long as its only one print.
Find an actual trail and then you have something solid to base your current conclusions on.
Actually, I'm pretty curious how they're going to revive them again.
Because in the last 'full' Dalek episode (Victory of the Daleks iirc) they basically "fell" out of time and in the end returned to their own timeline but this time in full strength. To my understanding this own timeline was within the timewar.
That's not what the release candidate currently shows us.
"Dell said that the release of Windows Server 2012 would give a boost to the second half of the company's year and it was "feeling good" about the new OS."
Does Dell already know that TIFKAM is also present on Server 2012 ? ;-)
Its not that long ago since the previous PSP slimline was introduced which, despite the 'lack' of the UMD drive, still ticked at a reasonable price. I think its not that remarkable that if you launch such devices with little time in between that the sales won't catch on right away.
They are handheld devices, sure, but these devices have to be bought full price. Phones otoh. are often picked up with a nice discount thanks to the provider where people get them from.
I mean, where else would the comment "Not today honey, I've got a bit of a headache...." have come from? ;-)
I sort of liked Darksiders I, even though it was kind of linear and eventually started to feel a bit repetitive. But the whole idea and story was kind of intriguing nonetheless. I eventually started to lose interest a bit when all of a sudden the game went from 'all fighting' to 'all puzzling' which felt a bit out of place. After a pause I picked up where I left off and notice that some fights also became a little more tactical, which was fun in itself (like first getting portals opened up, then using said portals to move behind a boss and get him).
But I'm not too sure of number II. The story starts to feel a bit enforced to me. I mean; you're playing Death; a biblical figure which is supposed to be pretty much invincible. Yet you need to build up your powers (makes one wonder how he ever would have been able to perform the Apocalypse) and most of all; you can die? The situation somewhat made sense with War given that he was accused and bereft of his powers. But here we're talking about a powerful being coming straight from his normal place of residence. Who still needs to "level up" and all, which somewhat dents the idea of dealing with one of the powerful riders of the apocalypse.
Don't get me wrong; I can see it has all the potential of being a great game by itself. But apart from gameplay I also like the storyline to make at least some kind of sense.
A bit comparable to Fallout for example. In both games (3 & New Vegas) you also start off with hardly anything and need to build up, but it gets explained through the storyline. In the first one you actually need to build up your life, in the second game you've just been shot and need to go from a simple courier job to a wasteland survivalist. It adds up more IMO.
Some games such as Infamous go even further; in the first game you start from scratch. In the second game you already have most of your powers and need to extend to them. That makes a lot more sense storywise than "ok, version 2: time to start all over again".
You can't blame Bush for paying Google up front for 4 terms so that they would keep his name in their system. He was simply a bit too eager. Besides; how was he supposed to know he would only last 2 terms? ;-)
You make a valid point IMO, except for one thing...
If the show would have changed the approach from "source code with a virus" to "windows executable with a virus" then I'm pretty sure no one would have considered it a problem anymore. Even though the situation would basically have been completely the same: "$kid downloading and using stuff she doesn't understand thus getting her laptop infected with a virus".
But because she picked up an open source program in order to use (parts?) of its source code it suddenly became a problem.
I honestly don't understand the commotion. Because its a given fact that if you visit certain technical fora (for example Slashdot; "news for nerds...") a lot of people will favour open source software over closed source. So how strange is it that a TV producer picked this up, and chose an "open source approach" within the context of a nerdy character?
I think you guys are seeing waaay too much in this. Worse; you're looking at it from the wrong angle too IMO.
We all know what "open source" means, right (to be honest I'm starting to have some doubts)?
And hopefully we also know that there are plenty of people out there who "program" by merely grabbing bits and pieces of existing code and string these together. Of course in the end claiming that they wrote the entire program (always amazing; one program and a dozen different coding styles). I've seen this happening just way too many times myself. Doesn't matter if this concerns Java or Max (multimedia programming language) or C#...
SO quite frankly, all I see here is the 'nerd kid' berating the other kid for /using/ open source code which apparently had some virus sitting in it. In my opinion he only "attacked" the other kid for doing something utterly stupid such as using source code without even understanding what it does. Thus overlooking that it actually contained a virus.
Its not something totally impossible, its based on stuff which happens all the time (see above wrt people 'using' pre-made code), and of course you'd need open source to get access to the actual source code.
Sorry, but I don't see this as an attack on open source code in any way.
I think you're missing my point a little.
This routine changes (protected) system files. A routine running with system credentials specifically aimed at maintaining the hosts file. That's a huge risk; because if that routine gets compromised (and IMO that's only a matter of time) how long before malware will start changing hosts so that "www.microsoft.com" points to some malware website, or worse? Without the users realizing this of course. Also the fact that it chooses to bypass settings such as setting the file up with r/o.
Although current malware (Win7 / Vista) could attack the hosts file as well, there is no guarantee that they can succeed. Either due to privileges or the fact that the file can be protected.
And sure; Win defender can be turned off, but how many end users would do that? Heck; how many would realize the potential risk this gets them?
And in other news it turns out that you can no longer rely on the hosts file in Windows 8 to keep you safe from bad websites. If you add sites such as facebook.com or ad.doubleclick.net then these will be automatically removed from the file for you.
After all; everyone needs to see those adds, right ?
Original story was found here (ghacks.net link).
If Windows can automatically remove entries from this file (which is also heavily used by adware removal programs such as Spybot) then this routine can also be abused by hackers to re-instate some of their web sources.
Another brilliant addition in reducing Windows functionality and making it less secure in the process.
"He is wrong, forcing it down their throats would just make them hate it more."
While I agree with your story and conclusion I disagree that this also reflects on TIFKAM; its not the enforcement part which makes people dislike TIFKAM with a passion. In fact; the method of enforcing stuff has always been the way Microsoft worked. Even the start menu was basically enforced upon us at one time.
Of course with the minor exception that if people wanted to they could still fire up 'progman.exe' and return to the previous interface of icons and groups. But even so; they couldn't easily work their way around the start menu. With normal usage they'd need to use it to start the shutdown process..
The problem with TIFKAM is merely that instead of enhancing functionality and workflow it actually hinders it when used on the desktop. That is the big deal.
Now, I'm pure speculating here mind you...
When looking at the Visual Studio website it obviously announces the availability of version 2012 quite strongly, of course this is fully tied into TIFKAM (look further up this thread). But the VS 2010 section is also still available (microsoft.com link). Better yet; I can even buy VS 2010 if I want to, right now from Microsoft. Usually those older versions tend to disappear rather quickly as far as I know.
So now I'm wondering: how likely is it that Microsoft is going to keep both Window environments around; both Windows 7 /and/ Windows 8 ? Maybe using Windows 8 as a new product specifically aimed at touch and 7 as the Windows we all know and love ;-)
Its not as if they didn't go here before. I still recall a time where we had both Windows NT and Windows 98, which eventually "merged" into Windows XP.
Quite frankly if Microsoft would come up with such a strategy, and I don't even care if it would be a "fallback" or "exit" strategy, I think the whole Windows 8 "ordeal" could be much less intrusive than I have assumed it to be so far.
I know its much too early to speculate, but alas.
We should all be calling it TIFKAM from now (as seen earlier in this thread, and I don't refer to my post btw).
"The Interface Formerly Known As Metro".
"Dont forget secure boot also - which further hinders the installation of other OSes as OS-X and Linux."
There, fixed that for you ;-)
Thanks for your extensive response, appreciate the time you took.
So, lets see...
Faster booting - This is a bit of a hack because in fact the OS uses a section of the disk where it hibernates the OS then simply re-activates that part. Quite frankly; I can do the exact same thing on Windows 7 is I tell it not to shut down but to hibernate. The 'runs faster' is also disputable considering how much options and eye candy they stripped from parts such as the desktop. If I minimize the visual effects (turn off aero, animations, translucency) I can get my Win7 to run a whole lot faster as well.
chkdsk repairs on a soft-raid volume while its mounted - I can do that with Win7 as well. Unless of course its the system volume, but quite frankly I don't see being able to perform repairs on a mounted and used system volume as an enhancement. I consider this a major risk factor instead.
Multi monitor - Can't comment there since I only use one. What I can say is that it could be expected considering that they've limited the features severely in other areas. Think about running two "TIFKAM" (The Interface Formerly Known As Metro) side by side. Can't be done on lower resolutions, even if those are still pretty common for Office use.
Cloud services - What does "integrates neatly" exactly mean? If I want to I can easily setup my Win7 Explorer so that it can directly access stuff as SkyDrive, S3 buckets and dropbox if need be (mostly using Webdav btw). Within my Office environment I already have the option to directly store documents on SkyDrive.
Performance management tool - Does it really? All I saw are more bells and whistles. And if you're by any chance referring to the "Windows Assesment and Deployment Kit ('ADK') then yes; this is new in Win8. But don't be fooled; A lot of these tools come from the Windows Performance Analysis developer center which, you guessed it, is also fully available on Windows 7.
Better yet, and this is why I described this as mere "bells and whistles" earlier: hopefully you do realize that most of these "new features" have been long available with the PowerShell environment? (which is IMVHO the number one admin kit for Windows these days). For an example check out this quick TechNet post on PowerShell system performance analysis.
Windows 8 added more bells and whistles to make it easier to access, but its nothing really new.
File history tool - Uhm, that has been around since Vista. Check properties, then "Previous versions" tab. Better yet: the Win8 "feature" requires an external drive or network share to work (its disabled by default) whereas this feature in Vista & Win7 is on by default and doesn't require anything extra. Talk about taking a step back in user friendlyness!
Profile management - Enter Windows 7 professional. Its not possible on the home editions, but the pro has no problems with this. In fact; I'm using Win7 using a regular (non-admin) account myself. This can be further enhanced by using the policy editors. Once again; long existing features which have only been made easier to access.
Software based on authentication keys - Idem on Windows 7. Takes external tools to setup though but its doable. Especially considering that Win7 already provides native support for stuff such as RFID security cards.
IPv6 handling - Ah yes, it favours IPv6 over IPv4. True, read many stories about this.
Better graphics - Its still the drivers doing all the work.
Better performance - So far I'm not a believer. Also see an earlier point about performance aspects in Win7.
File Manager & hidden files - Yes, I can see the advantage there as well.
Security Essentials - Once again agreed; also a very good enhancement. Many virus scanners drove me completely nuts so I eventually started using these as well, works like a charm.
So summing up the main enhancements which I can see are better IPv6 support, easier option to check for hidden files in the Explorer and the inclusion of security essentials.
Needless to say but for me its by far enough to consider an upgrade. Which is basically what led to my earlier comment. I'm under impressed because many features are already available but seem to have been made easier accessible.
I can't consider "easier accessible" to be a new and exciting feature tbh.
"Interesting. We've seen EXACTLY THE SAME arguments for WP7, and it still is a major failure and a pita to use for anything too complicated for a featurephone."
I don't quite agree there. Yes, WP7 certainly has its limitations, but also plenty of stronger points as well. For example I can easily use it to logon my Window servers through use of the ConnectME application. Full RDP support, even allows for file transfers.
Using SSH to logon to my Linux servers? No problem either; using the 'The SSH client application. Works pretty fast, good keyboard and both applications can keep running under the lock screen.
I'd say those are specific issues which I don't see people do too easily on a feature phone.
And to be honest.. Although I don't quite like the commercials the most you hear about the WP7 setup is that it "smokes" the competition when using social media.
I don't even need to download it to give any first impressions. Because my first impression is simple: "Not worth the download".
Fooled me once with the developer preview which was IMO very underwhelming. Fooled me twice with the customer preview which IMO was evenly matched when it comes to the underwhelming part. I won't be fooled again, thanks.
My main gripe with Win8 is: take away the new "Windows 8 user interface" which was formerly known as Metro and what do you have left ? I don't see anything remotely interesting to bother with Windows 8 since a lot of the enhancements seem to be mere eyecandy or icing on the cake.
Quite frankly I can miss the inflexibility and bothersome crap which is Metro like a toothache. Why would I bother with this?
"2. & 3. How can country make a binding statement that he won't be extradited until such a request comes along? Saying you will never extradite is giving him free hand to break every US law there is."
Since when does US law apply in non-US countries?
Besides; Its not as if the rest of the world doesn't have any laws which prevent its citizens from 'attacking' other countries. For example; would Assange use his laptop to start breaking into the computer systems of the Pentagon then that would also be a violation against Swiss law for which he can be prosecuted as well.
"Hackers are not responsible for DDOS attacks, skiddies are. I wish journalists would learn the meaning of the word "Hack".".
Although I agree with you and obviously realize that El Reg is basically a technical based news site I'm actually glad they report this in the way they do.
Because lets be realistic here: this is how the rest of the world will pick up this news. Instead of fighting it I'd suggest to keep this in the back of your head instead for when you may encounter such issues in real life. Instead of correcting $colleague hear him out and play along; that will get you much more in the overall.
Just my 2 cents though.
After a heated argument with my gf (figuring anyone could do this) I'm just left a little antagonized. I knew it couldn't be this easy, so now I want one too.
Not having the intention to hurt said gf I'm now looking for volunteers. You sound eager enough ;-)
Yeah, that's what Kim Dotcom also thought.
About that fairy story...
Since when did the UK require the services of Interpol merely to nab an alleged rapist?
But most of all, you do realize that one of the reasons Ecuador has granted asylum was that neither Sweden, the UK nor the US would guarantee that Assange wouldn't be extradited? As can be read in this article (nytimes.com link) of the New York times.
It seems to me as if the involved countries do their very best to keep this "fairy tale" alive. I mean; if this was really only about a rape charge, why can't they guarantee that this will remain a (Swedish) nation matter without the US getting involved?
I own a PS3 (and I'm very happy with it) and also a PSN account. Because of that I searched and grabbed the data which was shared the first time to see if I could find my credentials in there. I didn't keep the data but the one odd thing I recall is that it had a password & e-mail address and nothing more. Therefore I was quite sure the data was falsified back then.
Now I don't recall every detail of that first released batch but I do think its very weird that this batch follows the exact same style: password followed by an e-mail address. Even though the header claims to provide "user name, password, e-mail address".
Quite frankly I'm still convinced they never released real data the first time, but it seems to me as if this batch is the exact same batch they released back then. So I can well imagine that Sony waves this away as being a fake claim.
"Microsoft's Windows 8 is now in the hands of developers and IT administrators subscribed to MSDN or TechNet. They are the first people other than close partners and fearless torrenters to try the final code."
No; Windows 8 is now available to developers and IT administrators who are subscribed to either MSDN or TechNet.
I have a TechNet subscription myself, can confirm the availability (released per 15/8/2012) but that's it. I have no intention what so ever to grab and try this since I don't use touch enabled devices.
Laws and rules only seem to apply when the officials agree with it. If it would come to this then I think we have a real scandal at our hands. "The laws don't apply if anyone knows he's guilty"... That would really set the clock back hundreds of years ago. Either that or maybe you could argue that it would reveal the real ugly truth; in true "wikileaks" style.
However, I think Ecuador might not stand as robust as they think. I'm referring to an article on NPR (link to npr.com) which was mentioned in the El Reg article, this quote:
"Patiño said Britain made the threat in writing and while diplomatic talks were ongoing. He added that if an assault does happen Ecuador would take appropriate action and look to the Organization of American States for help.
I see a problem here. Obviously; if you believe in a plot by the US (I consider it very possible) then it should be obvious; the US wouldn't help no matter what because this actually plays into their hand.
But if you ignore this theory there is another problem: the alliance between the US and the UK. I think the US has different thoughts about the UK than Ecuador does. And I don't consider it likely that the US would actually participate in any (diplomatic) actions against the UK.
So where does that leave Ecuador?
Apples and oranges IMO.
Yes, it was out of proportions and a diplomatic scandal. However; the cause for all that seems to be kept cleverly hidden. At that time the Iranian leader Khomeini basically gave the people knowledge on the real history of the Sjah of Persia (Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi, the former ruler of Iran).
Namely the coup (getting him "out of office") which was officially backed and initiated by both the US and the UK. And the reason? How surprising: Oil.
How would you feel if you got told that the leader of your country got assassinated in an orchestrated coup backed by another country ?
Some people read the story and think "oh my", others get so upset that they actually take action and show their frustrations.
This whole ordeal doesn't make it right, don't take my comment the wrong way. But IMO its a little too easy to refer to the Iranian incident and claim "it can happy anywhere".
Usually such incidents do not happen "just like that". Even a country like Syria (lets talk about an "evil" country) strictly honours this.
In 2006 a Syrian man abducted his 2 (Dutch) children and took them back to Damascus. Under Syrian law he was 'entitled' to them and fully within his rights. The kids managed to escape though and found refuge in the Dutch embassy where they stayed several months. Its was a rather delicate issue and although there was some pressure here and there at /no time/ was there a realistic threat that Syria would breach the embassy.
The reason I use this as an example should be obvious: I know where Holland sits at world level. In a chair at the UN where most US officials probably think the guy sitting there is "the king of Brussels" or something. Do you really think such an incident would have made it as world news? And even if it did; how long before the world forgot all about it?
So quite frankly; no.. I don't think it can happen "just like that".
"Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Desktop, a version that allows you to build applications using the more traditional Windows UI, will be released "later in the fall," Somasegar says, along with Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone."
Very surprising if you ask me since former statements seemed to indicate that desktop development wouldn't be freely available at all, only in the full versions of VS 2012. I applaud the development, don't get me wrong, but to me it would have made more sense to me if both environments (desktop and the Windows 8 user interface) were bundled in one program.
I'm currently using VS 2010 C# and VB Express (and I'm honestly quite happy and impressed with them) and I have several available 'target' projects: console applications, WPF and Windows Form applications, Class libraries (/very/ usable for PowerShell extensions), game applications (aimed at XBox for example) and so on...
The reason I mention this: The difference between a console application and a, say, WPF application seems to be the references ("libraries") it uses. Surely these references are already available considering that the full version of VS 2012 is said to support all targets from the getgo ?
For an outsider like me (I'm not a professional developer) it makes the whole Express 2012 setup look like a crude hack.
I'm not just saying that to badmouth the product, I really looked into this. See for example the Product page for VS 2012 Express (MSDN link). I quote: "Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows 8 unlocks the power to develop Metro style applications that deliver these experiences.".
Uhm, wasn't the name 'Metro' officially cast aside and weren't all references supposedly removed ?
They'll give arrested people access to this network also and encourage them to setup their own profile.
Of course hoping that they'll be stupid enough to setup their own profile and then provide status updates, I can see it now....
"Pigs asked me lots of questions, they know shit. Told them they got the wrong guy, LOL. They'll never realize I stole all the computers and burried them in my backyard".
I'm not sure but I don't think people are that stupid ;-)
When looking at that picture I can't help think back of the C64 ages (which I lived). Back then there were already plenty of .gifs circling around ("World of GIF" anyone? A CD which you could buy with hundreds of GIF pictures?). A very common trade at that time was to try and take a PC picture and set it up so that it would be usable on the C64. This usually involved quite a bit of work (before it was automated) mainly because of the heavy resolution differences.
I know this is a different issue but when looking at the picture in the article I can't help wonder how much of a difference there really is ?
Controlling colours through the size of the particles sounds a lot like 'the old days'. Then it obviously wasn't so much controlling colour but overall image impressions. Using different sized sprites (to name one example) to achieve the best possible appearance of a colour blend for example.
Who cares...
As long as you paid your fee's to $anti_virus_vendor_we_love_and_respect all will be safe with your Windows.
How dare you mock $religion. Your comment is highly insulting for $religion_practisers because you're generalizing thus causing them heavy damage.
We'll sue and won't settle for less than $10000,- unless you're living in Europe; then it will have to be E 15000,- due to your extra "stigmatisation" being involved.
Sure; jokingly written. The worst part? This sort of BS is actually happening right now.
Whoops, did I just insinuate $religion to be bs? Uh oh....
"You can't see Wikileaks because they're bad news. Why they're bad news? Because we said so".
This is basically summing up the actions at hand and I don't think its that hard to find out what's wrong about all this.
I don't care if you're in favour or against Wikileaks. At the very least allow people to make up their own mind about it, this is nothing more than oppression.
I'll take pictures of topless women over topless men, thanks.
(yes, I'm a male; how did you know?) ;-)
"The "unrelated answer" method is very good from a security perspective, but does make it hard to remember which answer was used for a given question."
Keep in mind that 'unrelated to the question' doesn't mean unrelated to the person who answers it.
For example; "the name of your mother". Someone could easily answer with a name who has always been a mother-like figure to him/her. Within the context of the question totally unrelated, same for outsiders. But I bet the user won't have any problem remembering the answer.
"If you think about it, if you could change your security question what do you think the first thing a hacker would do when he gained access to your account?"
Change the password.
He /was/ charged, but those charged had been dropped then re-instated.
The only thing odd here is that Sweden goes through all this trouble for a felony (that's what it is over there) which at worst case would cost Assange a $1000,- fine.
When it comes to the elections (whether in the US or in my home country) then there's nothing /but/ propaganda these days.
Even up to a point (here's where it gets bothersome:) where one looking at the past (unfortunately not too many people do this) you can very often see the /almost/ /exact/ /same/ propaganda being put to use.
To translate (within the context of my home country; every 4 years we get elections): $party1 promising stuff and after they don't make it they now even easily vote in favour of the stuff they claimed to be against "no matter what".
Now 8 years later; they try the exact same approach. "We're against $topic" even though the records show that during the last period they have only supported said subject.
Issue being: said subject doesn't live too well with the people. SO when the elections are upcoming this party does nothing but propagating that they are against said issue, hoping to get votes. Problem being that as soon as everything is over their opinion changes over time.
Quite odd indeed that not only their opinion but the matter as a whole also suddenly easily takes its time well within the ruling period. (put differently: $elected, 2.5 years into said period voting in favour of $we_dont_like_it and 1.5 years after that suddenly campaigning with "we're against $subject").
That is your average political party for you. Unfortunately most people don't have the will do dive unto all this and when someone else does easily wave it away with "propaganda".
Left or right doesn't matter; this is what is happening on a global scale these days.
"People easily blinded by propaganda".
And in this case stupid people at that.
I'm not just saying that as an insult, I'm saying that because I truly mean it: they are idiots.
IF you really want to know about something. Whether its an (electronic) consumer device, a webshop, a shop within your town right down to a political party to vote on then there's only 1 smart thing to do....
First you obviously find out about $subject (see above) to find out if your goal is really what you want. But here's the deal: Once you have decided that you aimed for what you really want its time to realize that so far all you've been reading / viewing has most likely been in /favour/ of $subject.
To get the whole story it is now time to look into the other side of the opinion pool; the nay sayers. Sure; you'll get some hate, you'll get some bashing, but if you try good enough you'll also get some genuine stories as to why people don't like $subject.
Then, and only then will you be capable of making up your own mind on this.
I kid you not. I'll go on the record; I own a WinPhone, like it too. I went over several Android fora before I got one. Not to decide on which one was "better". Hardly. To learn what people using the other choice considered to be lacking on my choice. That left me prepared. Yes; it has its limits. But I knew them even before I picked one up.
This is no different.
When it comes to our governments (no matter what country you're from) you'll always get 1 sided stories. Namely from the government. Sure; there are different parties, but they all have 1 major thing in common: their paychecks come from 1 shared source. Paid from taxes which you and I have to cough up.
Bottom line: you can't expect stories coming from these parties not to be coloured, no matter /where/ they stand with their political ideals. Just like companies will always have a double agenda (keeping the customers happy /but/ also ensuring a steady cashflow) the same can be said about the governments.
As to Wikileaks... Right or wrong, good or evil; not my call to make.
Fact of the matter is that they only show what the governments have been doing so far and are unwilling to share with us. Governments do that (hiding stuff) even when we are entitled to it.
Small (US specific) issue... Attack on the Pentagon (9/11). Freedom of information yet the government refuses to release the (massively available; 84 cameras, go figure!) video footage as to what has transpired there. After some people started prosecuting for /years/ the US government has finally released a 5 frame footage showing absolutely nothing. There's a display of "freedom" right there.
Bottom line (this is turning into an essay, I know): Governments lie to us. Its not a theory its a given. In the US its even allowed by law (police officers can provide you with falsified info to get you to confess). So who's controlling or checking the government ?
In most cases the government is controlled through information channels controlled by that very same government.
You may not like other people "attacking" your government. I can respect that. But if your government is as good and solid as they are they should be able to withstand such "attacks" quite easily.
But if you really think that there is a desperate need to silence the other voices or other opinions - no matter the motivation - then you're basically agreeing that something is seriously wrong with your own opinion.
No matter how cliched this is: if you have an opinion and don't allow anyone to challenge it then your opinion is - by definition - bordering plain out oppression.
Enter the stages of the fanboys, the fanatics, the nutjobs.
Their so called "Damage control process" (IMO that's what we're seeing here) only makes them look even more stupider.
Now, if this were the first time it happened I can live with it. But we've seen this several times already...
"Windows 8 will be easily usable with mouse and keyboard" (without showing), "Windows 8 is optimized for touch usage", "Windows 8 has always been best used with touch enabled interfaces" (not said directly but very well hinted at).
"Windows 8 has a much better Metro start screen", "Windows 8 uses Metro because the start screen was broken", "Windows 8 uses the Metro start screen because research indicated major issues with the start menu", "The start menu will never be used again".
"Developers will be better of with Windows 8 because of their choices", "Visual Studio 2012's interface won't use any distracting colours", "VS 2012 will bring back some of its colour", "VS 2012 Express will only be usable for Metro development", "VS 2010 will have a NEW MENU STRUCTURE MAKING IT MUCH EASIER ON YOUR EYES TO SEE. THIS MAKES IT BLEND IN WITH OUR REVOLUTIONARY METRO INTERFACE".
"Office 2013 will be a more mature Office", "Office 2013 won't make the webapps look and feel more like desktop apps, it will make the desktop apps look like webapps", "Office 2013 will be a Metro application", "Office 2013 will have a much better 2D interface", "Office 2013 will have a MUCH NICER AND EASIER ON THE EYES MENU SECTION, WE HAVE EXTENDED THE RIBBON WITH EASIER TO READ RIBBON SECTION NAMES".
Of course the thousands (literally) of protests which can be read on the official MS blog pages are obviously from people who "simply don't recognize a revolutionary new environment" yet. OR, in the case of Visual Studio 2012, these are developers who are simply glad (and say so!) that the damage to the interface "has been 'relatively' minor and corrected". And state that MS has started "coming back on their first ideas" ("One idea down, several to go...").
How absurd is it that your own users are actually going besides themselves to stop you from releasing something which anyone in their right mind (any real /developer/ that is) would immediately cast aside as being unusable ?
But that is the "Windows 8 soap" which is involving around Microsoft.
I'm just glad that I stepped onto the Win7 bandwagon "on time" and have everything I need (Win7 pro, Office 2010 pro, VS 2010 Express versions (VB, C# & Web) and some other desktop stuff) which will easily last me until 2018.
By that time I hope MS has come back to their senses somewhat. As they did with Win7 vs. Vista.
IF NOT.... Then its easy; I'll pick up my current desktop environment and virtualize it. Then I'll simply use both Win7 & WinXP virtually and directly from within Linux. I've done this before, I can go there again if need be.
Unsupported and unmaintained software by then, but within a virtual environment while making sure I can roll back to a clean snapshot anytime I need to... I don't think I'll be taking much risks.
... 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 0
No wonder it went bad.
From the article (and other sources obviously) I guess its now safe to conclude what most others have concluded a long time ago, namely:
"The Windows 8 user interface isn't very usable on desktops."
I wonder if MS realizes what impact this could have. Because one should never underestimate the naive end users (with all due respect of course)... When it was still called Metro MS made a rather clear separation; there were metro apps, the metro interface ('start screen') and there was desktop related stuff.
In short: "The Metro interface sucks!" may leave people wondering "ok, that part of Win8 could be bad. I'll just ignore it".
But how does one react to: "The Windows 8 user interface sucks" ?
The longer the Windows 8 soap continues the deeper MS seems to be making the hole. At least that is my impression of the whole thing so far.
They'll do a mixup story line again. So several doctor characters from different time lines coming together. They've done that in a xmas special but the joined moments were a bit brief (IIRC). I'd like to see some famous (and favourite) characters join forces in one whole episode.
I only read stories about that and can whole heartedly agree that they did an awesome job back then. Not merely the Daleks but other sound designs too (obvious example the sound of the Tardis).
I'm fascinated with sound / sound synthesis / sound design and the developments in this segment have gone so fast that in my experience many people find it hard to imagine that such a design could have been so much work.
Would I want a "Dalek effect" nowadays I'd pull up Reason ('sound software'; because of its extraordinary routing capabilities), pick up my mic signal, add a vocoder, perhaps a 'Scream' device for distortion and optionally some filters.
Back in the days there /was/ no such thing as Reason :-)
I think the only thing you could "accuse" him of is the repetition factor, that got a bit predictable. I'm referring to building up the season and in the finale end with a whole "re-run" but then seen from a different angle / aspect.
But apart from that I don't quite agree with you. It had episodes following the red line of the "season story", it had individual episodes and some were silly, some were sort of funny and some were even a bit scary (sort off). I could imagine some kids not really fancying the Silence. Speaking of which; that was an interesting twist; see & forget.
Personal preference here of course but I'll take the Silence over the weeping angels.

Rooting Habit
Redbud develops a deep taproot that descends rapidly the first few years if the soil permits. Initial growth depends on soil moisture and the absence of a tight clay subsoil. If impenetrable subsoils are present the taproot grows horizontally. Secondary roots appear when the taproot is 5 to 8 cm (2 to 3 in) long and grow rapidly.

Two hurt in Clarendon pileupFebruary 07,2013Two drivers sustained minor injuries in a three-vehicle crash on Route 7 in Clarendon, according to Vermont State Police.
The crash, which took place at the intersection of North Shrewsbury Road and Route 7 at about 9:10 p.m. Tuesday, occurred when the driver of a 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee failed to yield at a flashing red light signal, police said.
The Jeep, driven by 17-year-old Edward Montgomery of West Rutland, collided with a 2009 Honda Civic driven by David Graham, 46, of Clarendon and a 1999 Chevrolet truck driven by Jerry Gorton, 48, of Brandon.
Police say all three drivers were wearing their seat belts and Gorton was uninjured in the crash.
Montgomery, who suffered cuts and bruises, and Graham, who had bruises and possible internal injuries that were not life threatening, were taken by Regional Ambulance Service to Rutland Regional Medical Center.MORE IN This Just InStephen Goldberg is back with a vengeance.

We've been saying "It's coming" for a very long while--and now we can officially say, "IT'S HERE!" On behalf of the entire Windows SideShow team, I would like to announce public availability of the Windows SideShow Device SDK for .NET Micro Framework v1.4. To those who participated in the beta program, we want to thank you for your feedback and support. All of us here can't wait to see the innovative and exciting devices that will come to market as a result of this effort. This is just the first of many Windows SideShow-related releases in our pipeline for delivery in 2008. While I can't divulge too much information, we think you'll like what you see :)
This SDK release is big for us in many ways; to name a few:
Now, to quell the rumors before they get started: this is not a release targeting Windows Mobile devices. I know there is a lot of interest out there in seeing Windows SideShow on Windows Mobile...we are working on it. That's all I'm going to say for now :)
- The Windows SideShow Team

PORTLAND -- A Northeast Portland woman was attacked Monday morning in her own bed after a stranger broke into her apartment and police think the same suspect raped a 16-year-old girl earlier this year.
Monday's attack happened around 2:45 a.m. The victim and her fiance were asleep inside their apartment at the Green Leaf Springs Apartments on Northeast Sandy Boulevard and 125th Place, when a juvenile broke in and tried to sexually assault the woman, according to police.
The suspect was later identified by police as 17-year-old Justin Dejohn Hubbard. Police believe he is also responsible for sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl earlier this year. The girl was attacked on March 10, while on her way to Parkrose High School. The suspect got away.
Both attacks were rare stranger-to-stranger crimes, according to police.
Before Monday's attack, the doors to the woman's apartment had been locked, but police said the suspect somehow flipped the lock open on her sliding deck door and got in.
The woman's fiance managed to chase the teen out of the home and called 9-1-1. A police dog eventually tracked Hubbard to the nearby Darrin's Place Apartments, where he was arrested.
The victim was not hurt, but even hours later she remained severely distraught, police said.
Hubbard was taken to the Donald E. Long Juvenile Detention Hall on charges of burglary, sex abuse and attempted rape. Police said he also faces additional charges of kidnapping, rape, unlawful sexual penetration and sodomy for the attack on the teen.

On Monday, forensics officers took photos of evidence and while detectives talked to neighbors who woke up during the attack on the woman.
I was woken up by the police megaphone, because it was right outside my bedroom window, said neighbor Christi Jasso.
Resident Kacee Stewart said the event was the last straw for her. Stewart said she didn't feel safe in the complex anymore and was going to move out.
I don't know what's going on, because there's kids all over this neighborhood, so it's freaking me out pretty bad, she said.
Hubbard was expected to be in court Tuesday afternoon.

Manila floods an expression of God's wrath?

It is very very disappointing that 21st century people attribute a natural disaster to "God's wrath" over population control measures. Some even link it to a certain passage in Genesis. It's all over Facebook and Twitter, and I really appreciate those users who were quick to refute this madness. It is not only mad, it is also an insult to the innocent people, including children, who have loss their homes and livelihood.
Here are news articles related to this:
In lieu of prayers, the people of Manila and neighboring cities would very much appreciate your interest in the ongoing relief operations. With regard to this, you may get in touch with the Philippine Red Cross as well as other agencies. Thank you very much.
