An expose of the relationship between Indians and British, it is vintage Qurratulain Hyder.
Fireflies In The Mist; Qurratulain Hyder, Women Unlimited, Rs.350Death has failed to take Qurratulain Hyder away from us. Annie Aapa lives through her works. And, no, she is no prisoner of Urdu ustaads to communicate with posterity. In life she chose Urdu as the preferred way of expression. But when she wanted — as in the wonderful translation of Fireflies in the Mist — she could communicate with those who could not make out a rafiq from a raqib.
Cutting edge
Her words had a cutting edge that was rare even among the literary community she graced for many a decade. She was many things to many people in the Urdu world, but principally, she was a woman who carried on the good, even intrepid things, started by the likes of Manto. She could be trenchant, but hope always resided in her bosom.
She won the Jnanpith award for Akhir-i-Shab ke Humsafar, now brought out as Fireflies in the Mist by Women Unlimited. And Annie Aapa, is as irrepressible here as at any other time.
Subtle effort
Among her later works, Fireflies… can be counted among the most subtle efforts exposing the paradoxical relationship between India and Indians with the British. Early in the book, she talks of the Muslim gentry in East Bengal and the gradual shift of power first to the British, then to a Hindu who did not have an aristocratic past, but nurtured the manners of one to the manor born. Even as she narrates the story of Deepali Sarkar, a young Hindu leaning towards extremism and Rehan Ahmed, the man with a Marxist inclination, the author exposes the little traditions, the sub-culture with a veracity unattainable to lesser mortals.
For instance, she talks of the Muslims in Bengal writing poetry in Bengali and Urdu and the bhadralok or westernised Hindus in English! Then there is a very subtle dig at those who paint the entire community with the same stroke. No diatribes, no sermons, not even plaints about times that were and the people we have become. Instead, there are just little asides. And passing anecdotes that convey the meaning. Again, without shouting from the rooftops, she manages to show the difference in the attitude of two Muslim men, Ahmed Ali, who prided himself on his top hat and suit in the company of the English; and Sher Ali, who had assassinated the enemy of the nation!
Similarly, the author recalls the profligacy of the Nawabs and the Zamindars, and the consequent penury a few decades later. But never does she allow herself to slip into a mountain of pity or the reader to be accustomed to sorrow. Of course, it does not mean that the story lacks pathos or depth. It has both, in full measure. What is missing, mercifully, is an overriding feeling of despair and deprivation.
Great canvas
The English version of Fireflies… was supposed to have come out much earlier. Annie Aapa had added a chapter 'Caledonia' for the English translation and had told Aamer Hussein as much. Somehow, it did not. Now, there is a reason to appreciate its value. It has a rhythm not easy to decipher for the inattentive, a fine structure and a criss-crossing narration that lends itself well to the great canvas of the book.
Often in translation, the soul is lost, even as the gist is retained. This time, the readers are saved that agony because it comes from the author herself. Annie Aapa, as Aamer Hussein says in the introduction, wrote, and how! Others could write. W oh likh sakte hain. Annie Aapa, named after an Iranian poet, wrote. 'Woh likhti thhi'.

President Nicolas Sarkozy said on Monday that burqas had no place in France as they were a sign of the subjugation of women.
During a solemn speech to parliament on a range of issues, Sarkozy backed an initiative launched by legislators last week who expressed concern over an increase in the use of burqas in France. "The issue of the burqa is not a religious issue, it is a question of freedom and of women's dignity," Sarkozy said.
"The burqa is not a religious sign, it is a sign of the subjugation, of the submission of women. I want to say solemnly that it will not be welcome on our territory," he said to strongapplause.
Referring to a cross-party initiative by close to 60 legislators last week, who proposed a parliamentary commission to look into the spread of the burqa and find ways to combat the trend, Sarkozy said it was the right way to proceed. "A debate has to take place and all views must be expressed. I tell you, we must not be ashamed of our values, we must not be afraid of defending them," he said.

Lady Knights XC sees season continue with third place

by Mike Slodki
KANELAND—It would take a team effort to make it out of one of the premier girls cross-country regionals in Illinois.
For Kaneland, that effort was solid enough to garner third place in Saturday's Elburn Woods clash.
Kaneland's 84 points was behind champ Yorkville's 39 and Crystal Lake Central's 84.
Other advancing teams are DeKalb at 99, Sycamore at 144, Woodstock at 189 and Hampshire at 203.
DeKalb sophomore Kelsey Schrader took the Regional mantle at 18 minutes, 14.9 seconds, which was 10.5 seconds ahead of the closest competitor.
Freshman Victoria Clinton of Kaneland continued to make leaps and bounds of progress with an eighth-place finish of 19:16.7.
Teammate Maggie Brundige had a 14th-place day with a time of 19:35.5.
Aislinn Lodwig, another of Kaneland's talented freshmen, finished 20th at 19:51.8.
"(We) had several girls under the weather, but they still managed a third-place finish in the toughest 2A regional in the State," KHS coach Doug Ecker said.
The Saturday, Oct. 29, gathering hosted by Belvidere kicks off at 10 a.m.

The National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") recently issued its first two rulings on employer social media policies and its first ruling on an employee's termination due to posts on Facebook. These rulings are significant for all employers – not just those with unionized workforces – because they provide guidance regarding what social media behaviors will be deemed protected activity under the National Labor Relations Act ("NLRA") and, therefore, what employers can and cannot regulate in their policies and practices.
The NLRA protects employees' rights to engage in "concerted activity" for the purpose of collective bargaining, or for other mutual aid or protection (Section 7) and prohibits employers from interfering with, restraining, or coercing employers who are exercising rights guaranteed under Section 7 (Section 8). The Acting General Counsel of the NLRB, the government agency that investigates and remedies unfair labor practices, has made litigation of NLRA claims involving social media a priority. Many employers assume – mistakenly – that the NLRA and NLRB are relevant only if their workforce is unionized. To the contrary, the NLRA covers all private employers that have an impact on interstate commerce (with certain exceptions, such as public employers and railways) – approximately six million private employers nationwide. The NLRA's reach is expansive, and when the NLRB determines that an employer's policy inhibits activity protected by the NLRA, all private employers would do well to pay attention.

First-time director Sinish's Endrendrum has an interesting aspect — director Gautam Vasudev Menon has lent his voice for the film's introduction. "Gautam Menon not only readily agreed to do it, but came to the dubbing theatre on his own and even complimented me on the film," says a visibly excited Sinish. Endrendrum was conceived as a telefilm, but, as it progressed, Sunish felt it had the potential to be a feature film. So, he roped in Sathish (of Manada Mayilada fame) and Priyanka Reddy for the lead roles and re-wrote the script. The film is now getting ready for release.
Charting a new territory
He cut his teeth on music composition as a keyboard player in music director Vidyasagar's team. Aruldev introduced himself as an independent composer in the Sadagopan Ramesh-starrer Patta Patti 50:50. Subsequently, he scored music for Paari and the yet-to-be-released Paakanumpole Irukku and Nagarapuram. In Nagarapuram, a song penned by Na. Muthukumar, 'Mazhaye Mazhaye' sung by Alaap Raju has become a rage. Another by Yugabarathy and sung by Karthik has been steadily climbing the popularity charts. Says Aruldev, "On the music site reverbnation, the album is already at number two. This, even before the official launch of the audio!"
Exploring emotions
After dabbling with the story and screenplay for many films, Nambirajan is now all set to launch his own directorial venture, Sankarapuram. Actor Harikumar (of Thoothukudi and Madurai Sambavam fame) plays an IPS officer in Sankarapuram. Said to be based on real-life incidents, the film explores the relationships between father and son, husband and wife, brother and sister, and uncle and nephew, highlighting emotions and love in different textures.
Buddies or foes?
Following Kazhugu, actor Krishna stars in director Rajamohan's Vanavarayan Vallavarayan. Playing his brother is M.K.P. Anand. An important role is played by Santhanam. Providing the glam quotient is Monal Gajjar. A rom-com, the film is believed to showcase the relationship between the brothers too. Says Rajamohan, "The brothers are inseparable. But what is unique is that, while they cannot stay away from each other even for a minute, they get into arguments if they are together for more than 10 minutes."

Governor cheers Renaissance Center credits
By Rick Pluta, Michigan Public Radio Network
A state board has approved tax credits to help ensure that General Motors keeps its headquarters at the Renaissance Center in Detroit. Company officials told the Michigan Economic Growth Authority that without the tax break, the company might have to move its headquarters out of the city. The deal calls for GM to keep at least 2,500 of the four thousand workers employed at its world headquarters.
Governor Granholm says she supports the authority's decision.
"The city benefits enormously from having the employees there at the Renaissance Center, but there's also - it's iconic, it is, it's a symbol, and for it to abandon Detroit would send a terrible message, I think," she says.
GM officials objected to the provision requiring the company to keep at least 2,500 employees in the city. The governor and state economic development officials indicated that number might have to be renegotiated.

Carsten Zahn, Head of Marketing, Rolf Bohle GmbH (Schwalbe):
"There were masses of visitors here. Went well, met everyone, everything was great!"
Claus Wachsmann, Marketing Project Manager of Cube Bikes:
"As the world's leading trade fair in conjunction with Demo Day, the Eurobike is seen by us from Cube as an international event that is enormously important, especially for reaching other professionals in the business. We are absolutely satisfied, because we bring together many of our international customers and distributors here at the fair, and can generally make good contacts."
Bernhard Lange, Managing Partner of Paul Lange & Co. OHG:
"Once again the Eurobike has shown itself to be the world's leading trade fair for the industry. Among both industrial and trading partners, we have registered a very positive, optimistic mood in many good conversations that allow us to look forward to the coming season with confidence. In general we can say – also due to the great interest on the part of policymakers, associations, and the general-interest media, such as newspapers, agencies, or television stations – that the subject of the bicycle continues to grow in popularity. It is an integral part of everyday life, leisure behavior, urban mobility concepts, and healthy lifestyles. For us, Eurobike 2014 is in every respect a complete success."
Stefan Ytterborn, CEO and Founder of Poc:
"Eurobike 2014 was lovely. We had good traffic at our booth, the visitors were highly interested, and we are absolutely satisfied with this year's show. I am overwhelmed and give it an eight out of ten."
Frank Sirringhaus, CEO of Sigma Sport:
"We at Sigma Sport.are highly satisfied. We were able to talk with all relevant customers from all over the world.

The mood this year was generally very positive, allowing us to rate the debut of our new product concept, the 'RC Move,' as remarkably successful."
Gregory Alan Bible, Creative Director of Dahon Technologies, LTD.:
"Eurobike was great. The response has been amazing and the attendance incredible. It has been fantastic and we look forward to many more years like this.

"Eurobike is wonderful. This year was quite a good show. We met a lot of people and the timing was good."

Tamara Winograd, Section Manager of Marketing Communication, Robert Bosch GmbH:
"The Eurobike was again a great success. Despite the larger booth footprint this year, we didn't have the sense that we were bigger. We were able to reach many dealers and end users as well as again make a strong statement on the subject of the e-bike with our new hot topics of "Nyon" and "eShift." You can feel that people's emotions are touched by this and that the interest is great."
Philip Martin, Marketing Manager DACH, Cycling Sports Group

Werner Forster, CEO of Cycle Union:

Shirley Chien, Vice Manager of Kun Teng Industry Co., LTD.:
"We are very happy because here at the Eurobike we can meet many companies and customers and make new contacts. We will definitely be back next year."
Eric van Haferbecke, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Look:

Oliver Hensche, CEO of Giant Germany:
"We give a very positive assessment of Eurobike 2014. The ordering behavior in regard to the upcoming season was very positive, and we are seeing a significant increase in orders for the coming year. The world premiere of our women's brand Liv and the visit of tour hero Marcel Kittel of Giant-Shimano also gave our fair presence strong attention from the media. We see moving Demo Day to the fairgrounds as very positive and as something which the visitors, exhibitors, and media representatives benefit from."
Fredrik Erlandsson, SVP Communications, Thule Group:
"We look forward to the Eurobike every year. We are always excited to show our latest news, meet friends in the industry, and to feel and see the trends in other parts of the bike business. Last year we launched our award-winning bike travel case Thule RoundTrip, which we will follow up with a model with a softer case this year. The new Thule bike carrier Thule Velo Compact really encapsulates the Thule innovation in the bike carrier category, and our Active with Kids category is growing this year. Eurobike is, and will continue to be, a highlight of the year for Thule. We are already looking forward to the 2015 show!"

Thorsten Kochanek, CEO of Grofa GmbH:
"Eurobike 2014 was characterized by even better visitor traffic and high quality of conversation. This can also be seen against the backdrop of a very good season. We look forward to great interest in our new products; MIPS in particular, represented by our brands Giro and Bell, is definitely an important topic. Demo Day was also well received despite weather that was not optimal. We can offer a summary that is very positive on the whole."
Ralf Puslat, CEO of Puky:
"In 2014, the Eurobike was once again confirmed as the leading trade fair. Full halls and an unprecedented internationality enabled a wide array of contacts to a global clientèle. The bottom line is clear: The Eurobike is an essential trade fair for us."
Stefan Scheitz, Head of Marketing, Sport Import GmbH:
"On the first day of the fair, we received 100 percent positive feedback in regard to our entire team. The halls were as crowded as ever, both around Felt and in the parts area. Here we are pleased that our new brands such as Lezyne, Enve, and Muc-Off have received a great response. In this respect, the focus on high-end products is something that brings us forward. On Demo Day, the people were crazy about our Felt E-Lebowsky. The bike never stood still – it's a good thing that we brought along a turbo charger…"
Anke Namendorf, Marketing, Koga:
"A high-traffic booth and very good conversations allowed us to make a good start into Eurobike 2014. Our F3 line begun three years was well received, and is even being modified in the area of e-bikes, for example. The issue of integration is also becoming more and more important for the bicycle. Koga had a very good season, and our product range was very positively received. For this reason, we are letting several models continue through, allowing us to ensure continuity for dealers and retail customers. After a period of intense innovation, these innovations are gradually beginning to benefit the entire product range."
Thorsten Mendel, Marketing/PR Manager of Abus KG:
"The Eurobike is a great event that we look forward to every year. For us it means good conversation and good business, and Demo Day, for which we were the helmet sponsor, was also very positive for us. Sure, every now and then someone complains about infrastructure, but that's the way it is at such a well-attended trade fair, which is also very successful due to its good organization. The response to our products, for which the Eurobike is the worldwide kickoff event, has been very good."
Sebastian Göttling, Press Spokesperson for Busch & Müller:
"For years our booth at the Eurobike has been crowded with people; that has remained good and is always a nice experience for us. I think it's especially great that visitors find our Xeltec products as fascinating as we do ourselves. But we need to emphasize that this is only possible with partners who – like us – are specialists in their field. In this context, we also look forward to the Eurobike Gold Award for Curana."
Tobias Spindler, Head of Marketing, Riese und Müller:
"Demo Day directly next to the fair has proven to be a great idea. Argenbühl was wonderful, but the logistical challenge has been resolved with the new location. The organization of the Eurobike is great, and the supporting program highly professional. This fair has so much to offer, especially in the accessories area. At Riese und Müller, we concluded some very good contracts. We can clearly see that the e-bike market is a growth market. There is no sense of it being a bubble or coming to a peak – it's just getting started now! In the area of cargo bikes, there are still many possibilities, such as for delivery services; the compact class of 20-inch models is also exciting, along with the whole topic of urban mobility. It is encouraging that the e-bike crowd is getting younger and younger."
Christina Halasz, PR Manager of Ortlieb Sportartikel GmbH:
"The show is very successful, and our booth is well attended; we also have the feeling that the halls are full. What you find is that the urban themes are very interesting, in the bicycle area as well as in accessories and clothing. That of course fits in well with our new Urban Line. The combination of the trade fairs OutDoor and Eurobike in Friedrichshafen is great for us at Ortlieb; we are totally happy with it."
Gernot Moser, Country Sales Manager, Bike Sports Vaude:
"For us, the Eurobike still a very important show. This year we were pleased to receive two Eurobike Awards. In terms of visitor traffic, our booth was very well attended; all in all one can say that this is a very successful fair. We also look forward to the end-consumer day as we try out the new event modules and try to understand the whole thing as an event and as an opportunity for direct contact with our customers."
Patric Gördes, Communication Manager, Gore Bike Wear:
"The Gore Bike Wear team is completely satisfied with the outcome of Eurobike 2014. In this year as well, the fair was a great platform for us to showcase our most important product innovations and unique technologies. Above all, the new ALP-X PRO line was very well received by all our dealers and visitors at the booth, and we look forward to a successful joint spring/summer season 2015."
Stephanie Müller, PR & Marketing, GONSO Bike & Active
"The Eurobike is the most important exhibition for us. Here we have the opportunity to present our collection to a global audience. Our new collection for 2015 was very well received in the trade and the press. We had many fruitful discussions with existing and new customers and were able to make interesting contacts. All in all, Eurobike 2014 was again a great success for us!"
Anne Gröger, Marketing and Press, Brompton Bicycle Ltd.:
"The show was very exciting; we had many, many interested dealers who also took an interest in the new Brompton colors. People can barely stop smiling, there are so many new products no matter where you look. This is my first Eurobike, and I'm very impressed."
Anne Richarz, Zwei plus zwei
"As every year, we are very pleased with the Eurobike. The organization works wonderfully. And just as every year, all our regular customers stop by. With regard to new trends, it is noticeable that in the area of children's accessories, everything is becoming much more modern and younger. That is something we really like."
Tobias Erhard, Sram
"Our booth is always well attended. This year we have a new concept in which we created our own Sram World. We present our products as high-end products in museum character, and the feedback we have received is outstanding, both from retailers and OE customers. There is strong demand for hydraulic brakes in the road bike area, and another hot topic is single shifting systems. The organization of the exhibition is going great; as every year, we are very satisfied."
Monica Savio, Selle Royal
"Compared to last year, we had 20 percent more visitors to our booth. Everyone is interested in the different projects we are bringing forward. The organization of the exhibition is very good; working from year to year with the same people allows us to find a solution to all our problems."

After State Lawmaker Comes Out, Campaign Becomes Battle Of Write-ins
By editor

How much does sexual orientation matter to voters in rural Pennsylvania? Incumbent Mike Fleck, who was re-elected three times before he came out as gay in 2012, lost the Republican state house primary to a write-in candidate. But he's not out of the race yet: He won as a write-in on the Democratic ballot instead.

The facility is located at the southern terminus of the new MAX Green Line at the Clackamas Town Center Transit Center.
TriMet committed to creating a South Precinct in advance of opening the Green Line in its effort to increase security on the system. The precinct has five dedicated officers: three Portland Police officers, a sheriff and a deputy from the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office. These officers will focus their patrols along the Green Line south of the Gateway Transit Center. Transit police officers from Central Precinct will cover the Green Line when the dedicated officers are not on duty.
TriMet pays for all law enforcement officers assigned to the Transit Police Division. Nearly every law enforcement agency within the tri-county area participates in the division.
"This precinct along with the other security investments will make it safer and easier for our citizens to ride light rail," said Clackamas County Commissioner Bob Austin. "This also represents a successful partnership with TriMet, the Portland Police Bureau and Clackamas County Sheriff's Office working together to enhance security."
Construction details
Construction of the South Precinct began in May 2009 and was funded through federal stimulus dollars (American Recovery and Reinvestment Act or ARRA). The 2,100-square-foot facility cost $560,000 to build, employed two dozen people that were either laid off or would have lost their job without this project, and supported another 70 jobs. The precinct includes office space and two plumbed holding cells.

Anyone bought from KTM Cycle Hutt?

That has been nothing but a nightmare for me to deal with. I would never use them again for any reason. Below is an email I sent to them after an order that was botched all to hell. I'll also say that it took 3 months for me to get my refund. Feel free to read the below email, or save yourself the trouble and just order from KTMTwins.com. As much as a nightmare as it was to deal with cycle-hutt, that's how easy it is to deal with ktmtwins. It's not that they are perfect, but they do everything they can to get it right or correct issues.
"I just wanted to send this email to you guys as I feel the service I was given with your company was absolutely terrible and deserves an email. When I placed my order (W0123910) with you guys on 4/22, I wasn't notified as I moved items into my basket that more than half of the 14 items or so I had ordered were unavailable or back ordered and wouldn't be able to be shipped for 2 weeks. I only found that out when I called on Tuesday to check on the status of the order as I never received an email confirmation for the original order. I spoke with a rep who told me that the order wasn't going out at all until all items were avail (something I would definitely expect you to be proactive about and notify your customer). After reviewing what items you "did" have in stock, I asked that this part be shipped and the rest of the order canceled so I could order the parts from another company. I stressed I needed them by Friday. Still no confirmation came to me so I called back on Wednesday to follow up on order. I was then told by another rep that the parts had not shipped yet, and that some of the parts I was told were included in the revised order were not avail, and others I was told were, weren't. So the order I placed with the other company now has duplicate parts in it, and your order would not be all that I expected to get. *Leaving me short on parts. At this point I was stuck, so I just asked that the order be shipped so it would arrive by Friday. I was again assured it would. With still no working tracking number, I called back again today to follow up on my order. Yet today I was told my order wouldn't arrive until Monday or Tuesday. *I can only assume this was a total guess by this third rep. It doesn't really matter at this point as the parts were needed by today and Monday would be too late. Although i haven't received the parts yet, so I guess there is still time for something else to go wrong with the order. Meanwhile the parts ordered from your competition have already arrived today. Exactly when needed, and as promised. When I told the rep today that my order had been completely butchered and jammed me completely up, and that this would most def be the last order I would place with you guys. His response was a very telling "ok". Just terrible service. *You might think in this economy, that businesses like yours would really try to work with customers to make sure of repeat business. I guess you guys have a dif philosophy."

Instead of folding, organizers planning a Night at the Races fundraiser to help offset costs for the Wyoming Area Class of 2013's graduation-night party found another draw card.
They wanted to avoid canceling next weekend's affair, wasting months of planning and compelling them to refund payments for horses.
After an emergency meeting Wednesday night, organizers decided to go ahead with the fundraiser they're instead calling Night Without Races, scheduled for 7 p.m. Feb. 16 at St. Barbara's Hall, Exeter. Instead of placing a bet for a horse and having someone pour a cold one, the event turned into a BYOB bingo party with cash prizes, prize drawings and dancing to the tunes of a disc jockey.
The change of plan was prompted by the state police Bureau of Liquor Control Enforcement's reminder, issued earlier this week, that hosting Night at the Races events is unlawful due to three criteria that define gambling: consideration, chance and reward.
Throughout the area, other Night at the Races events planned for this weekend – including at St. Leo's/Holy Rosary Church in Ashley, St. John the Evangelist Parish in Pittston, and St. Monica Parish in West Wyoming – have been canceled because of the police warning.
Organizer Gina Malsky said there was no question the Wyoming Area fundraiser must go on. Everybody did so much work and everyone involved has been supportive, Malsky said. We're not going to throw the towel in. It wasn't the right thing to do.
Malsky received a phone call from a trooper on Monday explaining why Night at the Races is illegal, she said.
When I got off the phone with the state trooper, I thought it was someone trying to be funny, said Malsky. I had no idea. I've been fundraising for 17 years and did one for (Wyoming Area) cheerleaders in November.
The fundraiser will help to pay for the lock-in party – dancing, games and entertainment – the night of the Class of 2013's graduation, Malsky said. Graduates are locked in the hall and not permitted to leave until 6 a.m., when they are given money for breakfast.
The lock-in is a tradition at Wyoming Area; it's been held for many years, Malsky said.
The group obtained a small games of chance permit for the fundraiser, which makes bingo with cash prizes legal. For a small admission price, the revamped event will offer a Stay out of Jail buffet.

(If I'm melodramatic today, I blame Chateaubriand. #EnglishMajorProbs)
As if life wasn't cruel enough, my internship supervisor made me write a blog post about why sleep is important. Me. A college student. An over-achieving college student. Yeah, not cool.
Anyway, I did all this research (translation: I googled it and read blog posts) and found out that sleep deprivation is horrible. Like, kill you horrible. Great. So I'm super productive, but probably dying sooner. Oh, and probably not that productive–it's proven to ruin grades and athletic performance. Continue reading

LeBron James thinks Paul Pierce got All-Star snubbed

Count Heat superstar LeBron James of all people as the first NBA player to count Celtics captain Paul Pierce among the Eastern Conference's All-Star snubs. Pierce was left off the team for the first time since 2007, when he missed 35 games due to injury; the 35-year-old 10-time All-Star also made the East roster from 2002-06.

MySpace China Looks for Answers After Setback
Rupert Murdoch hasn't enjoyed much success in China. Quotas on foreign films hinder the efforts of Murdoch's Twentieth Century Fox to make inroads in Chinese cinemas. Government control of the TV industry has largely keptNews Corp. [ticker: NWS.A) subsidiary Star TV, the Hong Kong-based Asia satellite TV operator, on the sidelines of the world's largest country. And rampant piracy and illegal Internet downloading mean News Corp. can do little to cash in on the popularity of shows such as Prison Break.
That's why expectations were so high for the launch of MySpace in China. Unlike the movie and TV industries, the Chinese Internet business is open to foreign investment. China has the world's largest online population, with more than 250 million using the Net; many of them are students or people in their 20s, prime users of MySpace in other countries. Murdoch's wife, Wendi, was born and grew up in China and took an active role in launching a local version of News Corp,'s social networking service [SNS], MySpace.cn, [BusinessWeek, 6/26/07] in the country in April 2007.
Murdoch's bad China luck isn't changing, though. MySpace China, a joint venture among News Corp., venture capital firm IDG-Accel [a partnership between Boston-based IDG and Accel Partners from Silicon Valley], and local investment firm China Broadband Capital Partners, doesn't have much to show for its effort. "MySpace.cn has not become a Tier 1 SNS site in China," said Beijing-based market researcher BDA China in an August report. The company is an also-ran in the Chinese SNS scene, dominated by local names such as Qzone, Xiaonei, and 51.com, and was hit last month by reports in the local and international media of a management shakeup, including the departure of Luo Chuan, who had left Microsoft (MSFT) China to be MySpace China's CEO.
Rethinking the Business Model While denying Luo has departed, an executive at one of MySpace China's shareholders confirms that some major changes are in store. Zhou Quan, managing director and general partner at IDG Accel, which owns 10% of MySpace China, says executives are in the midst of rethinking the business model. Luo, he says, continues to work at MySpace China "almost full-time" and is taking an active role in discussions regarding the company's future direction. "There will be a total plan, not just a change in CEO," says Zhou. "They will come up with a new strategy."
Other people involved with MySpace China declined to comment. China Broadband did not respond to requests for an interview. A U.S.-based spokesman for MySpace referred questions from BusinessWeek to the China operation. "We are not in a position to comment on the reports regarding our CEO," said MySpace China spokesman Yitian Zou in an e-mail. "The company and business are doing well."
There's certainly a big gap between MySpace China and its Chinese rivals, though. According to BDA, MySpace China hopes to have 10 million registered users by the end of the year. In contrast, market leader Qzone, owned by Shenzhen-based instant-messaging giant Tencent Holdings, already has 105 million registered users. Another Chinese SNS operator, 51.com, has 95 million.
An Eroding Advantage When it entered the market, MySpace China could count on a cash advantage thanks to its deep-pocketed owners, but that edge is eroding because of big investments in local SNS operators. In July, for instance, Giant Interactive Group (GA), a Shanghai online game operator, announced plans to invest $51 million in a 25% stake in 51.com. In April, Japanese Internet power Softbank led a group of investors that paid $430 million for a 35% stake in Beijing-based Oak Pacific Interactive, which operates Xiaonei, an SNS site that resembles Facebook and focuses on China's student population.
As the local players become stronger, some in the industry are dismissive of MySpace China and its high-powered backers as paper tigers. "Everybody knows it's a U.S. brand," says Brad Greenspan, former CEO of eUniverse, where MySpace got launched, and now chairman of BroadWebAsia, a West Hollywood [Calif.] investor in Chinese Internet sites. "If you want to spend time on a site that's about you, it's harder to pull that off with a U.S. brand. It just doesn't feel authentic." In China, SNS "is entirely a local game," boasts Joseph Chen [personid=7924927], chief executive of Xiaonei owner OPI. Not only are Chinese users reluctant to switch to a newcomer but many young Chinese students without strong English skills don't even know how to spell the name MySpace. "You tell a typical kid in China who has never heard about MySpace and ask the person to spell it, 90% of the time the kid has no clue," says Chen.
Such criticism is not merited, argues IDG-Accel's Zhou. The MySpace China business "is on track," he says. Zhou also points out other SNS operators aren't having an easy time of it, either, as they continue to struggle to find a business model that works. "Even in the U.S., Facebook and MySpace are still trying to figure out how they can monetize their social resources," he says. "MySpace in China is thinking of a new way to do that." According to Zhou, the company expects to have answers about what that new way will be soon.

The Lone Samurai
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lone Samurai: The Life of Miyamoto Musashi (ISBN 4-7700-2942-X) is a biography of the Japanese samurai and swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. It is written by William Scott Wilson, published by Kodansha International, and was first printed in 2004. It is possibly the first reliable reference on Musashi, since most of the previously known information is drawn from legends or fictional accounts.

Oklahoma City Thunder power forward Serge Ibaka is dancing overseas. What could possibly get him more excited on the basketball court that he hasn't already seen in the NBA? While spending some time this summer in Manchester, U.K., Ibaka caught a three-on-three tournament where saw Nathan Schall of the British Basketball League's Manchester Giants throw down a nasty dunk. Still impressed by @nateschall08 dunk so I wanted to invite him 2 the Thunder @NBA Manchester game.You up to it Nate? http:t.coxRzYRMV0C0 Serge Ibaka (@sergeibaka9) July 31, 2013 The dunk impressed Ibaka so much that he sent out a personal invitation to Schall to attend the Thunder's game against the Philadelphia 76ers at Manchester Arena on Oct. 8. @sergeibaka9 @NBA that would be amazing I'd love to watch the game!!! Nathan Schall (@nateschall08) July 31, 2013 Maybe Ibaka is also working on his recruiting skills this offseason and hoping to get Schall to Oklahoma City.

The St. Marys Area Flying Dutch golf team recorded their first dual match win of the season Wednesday when they edged the Bradford Owls 216-218 at the Bavarian Hills Golf Course.
The St. Marys Area Dutch soccer team hosted the Ridgway Elkers on Wednesday evening at Angela Huey Memorial Field in Fox Township instead of at the SMAHS soccer field, but the change of venue seemed to have little impact on Dutchmen as they rolled to their first win of the season, avenging an earlier loss to Ridgway with a 3-1 victory.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch suffered their first loss of the season in a 7-0 defeat to the Ridgway Lady Elkers at the SMAHS soccer field.
The Elk County Catholic girls' tennis team defeated the Lady Dutch 6-3 on Tuesday afternoon in a match played at the SMAHS tennis courts.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch volleyball team improved to 2-1 on the season with a 3-0 victory over the Sheffield Lady Wolverines Tuesday night in a very warm SMAHS Dutch Oven.
The Lady Dutch won the first set 25-14, took the second set 25-19 and won the third set 25-15 to win the match.
The Elk County Catholic Crusader golf team lost their first match of the season on Tuesday afternoon as they came up short against the Ridgway Elkers 190-205 in a match played in Ridgway.

The St. Marys Area Dutch soccer team began a tough three-day stretch of games with a 4-1 loss to the visiting Smethport Hubbers on Tuesday afternoon at the SMAHS soccer field.

From Barnes & NobleCisco has revamped, widened, and toughened its CCNA exams. That's the bad news. Here's the good news: Cisco has just delivered a comprehensive study package that's fully up to the challenge.
It begins with two large, authoritatively reviewed, very well written books. There's one for Cisco's entry-level INTRO exam (which earns your CCENT credential) and one for the more advanced ICND. (Or, cover everything in one exam and use both books to prepare.) Cisco's polished content includes loads of assessment help and sample questions, plus two CD-ROMs full of exercises and simulations.
To paraphrase George Orwell, all copies of this boxed set are equal, but some are more equal than others. You want the exclusive Barnes & Noble Edition. Ours includes a bonus third CD-ROM packed with topical, take-anywhere, last-minute review. Bought separately, its PDF Quick Reference Sheets would've cost another $9.99—and that would've been a bargain. Bill Camarda, from the November 2007 Read Only

"An imaginary journey to rediscover ancient Sicily, where history and myth come together. The Greek temples and theatres, symbols of classic architectural perfection, are reinterpreted as if in a dream. As if a traveler, having visited some of the marvelous landscapes of ancient Sicily, wanted to recreate those unique settings in his mind: that type of beauty, magic and enchantment can only be found in such a vision. Only in an imaginary world can the unexpected and irrational intertwine with spontaneity and naturalness, while creativity, freed of any bonds with logic, becomes a synonym for folly. Like in "Satyricon" by Fellini, the ancient temples and theatres are transposed into surreal visions that continue to nourish the eyes and soul of the traveler and provide images for dreams. Straight off the runway and into the only Dolce & Gabbana in Las Vegas, this "royal-inspired" collection is a must-have for any woman who is looking to add a little femininity and soft hues to their Spring wardrobe."

ESA Finds High-Energy Particles Charged In Polar Cusps
Data gathered by several European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft suggests that high-energy particles which fill cavities within the Earth's magnetic field are accelerated locally within the cusps themselves as they cross through areas characterized by different electric potential, the organization announced earlier this week.
In a Tuesday announcement, the ESA said that the information, which was gathered during the Cluster mission in February 2003, shows that the particles are accelerated while drifting along potential gradients that were the result of magnetic reconnection events.
The discovery will play a vital role in the ongoing debate regarding how and where these particles are accelerated, according to the agency.
The cusps of the magnetosphere, which occur above both the North and South Poles in areas where the magnetic field is extremely weak, are the only areas where the magnetosphere does not shield the Earth from the stream of electrically charged particles released by the Sun and known as the solar wind.
"Through the cusps, particles from the solar wind can access the upper layer of Earth's atmosphere — the ionosphere — and thus can have an impact on activities such as telecommunication networks," the ESA explained. "As the solar wind's direct gateway to Earth's atmosphere, the cusps are a key element in our planet's magnetic environment and have been the target of investigation for decades."
Measurements have demonstrated that the cusps are often densely populated with highly energetic particles, including 40-plus keV electrons and 28-plus keV protons and oxygen ions, they noted. Those observations have led to what the ESA refers to as "an intense debate" regarding specifically how and where they are accelerated to those high energy levels. Theories include the magnetosphere, the bow shock, and the cusps themselves, though prior to the Cluster mission observations, no solid conclusions could be drawn.
"Our analysis of the Cluster data and comparison with simulations provide the first robust evidence in favor of a local acceleration mechanism: particles are being energized within the cusps," study leader Katariina Nykyri from the US-based Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU), said in a statement.
She added that the research, which has been published in a special edition of the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, involved sifting through the first five year's worth of Cluster data in order to discover "an event during which the spacecraft moved from the magnetosphere into the cusps in a way that best enabled us to study how the cusp's properties vary in space and time."
That event came on Valentine's Day in 2003, when the four Cluster vehicles entered the northern cusp. The scientists noted that there were large separations of nearly 5,000km between each spacecraft, and that the magnetic field shifted from northward to southward, in turn changing the site of magnetic reconnection events from one side of the cusp to the opposite side.
"As they crossed the cusp"¦ the four Cluster spacecraft encountered a cavity whose structure was varying in space and time due to magnetic reconnection. Hence, they repeatedly entered and exited regions of weaker and stronger magnetic field," the ESA said. "During these crossings, the Cluster spacecraft probed the distribution of electrons, protons and oxygen ions. The data revealed that these particles have substantially higher energy within the cavity, where the magnetic field is low, whereas their energy declines farther away from it. Furthermore, the data indicated that most electrons were moving almost perpendicularly to the magnetic field's direction."
"The fact that we observe large amounts of high-energy particles in the cavity and hardly any in the magnetosheath — where the magnetic field is stronger — already suggests that the particles are being energized locally," added Nykyry. "Nevertheless, our smoking-gun argument is the direction of motion of the electrons in the cavity," because if the acceleration had taken place at either the bow shock of the magnetosphere, the electrons would have primarily moved parallel to the magnetic field within the diamagnetic cavity, not perpendicular to it.

David Koch comments on breastfeeding continue to stir debate
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 22, 2013
SUNRISE co-host David Koch has continued to divide the nation with his stance on the sensitive issue of nursing in public, taking on Australia's "lactivists" over their overwhelming reaction to his call for more modesty.
The polarising TV presenter debated the subject with nursing mum of two Amy Ahearn on Seven's breakfast program, after she helped organise a 100-strong "nurse-in" outside his program's Sydney studios.
The protest followed Koch adding his support to Bribie Island aquatic centre staff who asked a Queensland mother, Liane Webster to move or stop breast-feeding her baby on the poolside.
Mrs Ahearn and others criticised Koch's comments last Friday, when he urged women to be "discreet and practical" when breastfeeding in public.
But the TV personality complicated his argument yesterday saying he had no problem with topless sunbathers.
Mrs Aheard said the comparison was "like apples and oranges..(and) there was a big difference between laying around topless for no apparent reason and having to feed your child. For one thing, one is illegal and the other is not."

The saddest thing is that people don't seem to be allowed to have differing opinions and discuss things freely any more. Those women jumped on Koch the moment he spoke and tried to deny him his right to free speech, just because he only shared 99.9% of their opinion rather than 100%. We're getting more and more censored unfortunately.

And if you looked and said to one of these women, "nice boobs"she'd scream bloody murder and have you charged with sexual harrassment. Keep them covered up.

lucia Posted at 7:52 AM January 22, 2013
Kochie is trying to backtrack a bit and he shouldn't. His opinion is as valid as anyone else's and I, for one, don't want boobs slinging about in front of my son at every public venue. Why in the past ten years or so has the need for continuous public breastfeeding become necessary? It's a very private, intimate bodily function. Seems like exhibitionism to me. Very strange.
Comment 5 of 18
Bec C of Sydney Posted at 8:06 AM January 22, 2013
Breastfeeding can be done in public in a discreet way without having your boobs on show. Why would a mother want her boobs to show anyway in this instance?Because it gets them attention. Come on ladies, be culturally sensitive, sex is also perfectly natural but since it is offensive to do in the open, we're happy to be discreet about it.

Rights and Responsibilities of Sydney Posted at 8:24 AM January 22, 2013
We live in a society that is all about rights and has forgotten about responsibilities. Yes it is every women's right to breastfeed and suggesting that it is done sensitively and discreetely in no way diminishes that right, rather acknowledges the responsibility we each have to ensure our own wellbeing, that of our children and others. While breastfeeding is natural, we live in a multicultural and diverse society, where not everyone and every culture is comfortable seeing a womens breast (or a very small part thereof) exposed in public. Respecting the sensitivities of others, as Kochie suggests shows that breatfeeding moms can excercise their rights while respecting the rights of others. As human beings we should all aspire to protecting our rights while recognising our responsibility to not infringe on the rights of others.If we all thought about the rights of others as well as our own rights then we wouldn't hear about so much abuse and violence happening in our society.

chris of perth Posted at 8:27 AM January 22, 2013
Let's all take a step back and remove our biases and perceptions we have all grown up with. A mother feeding her baby would have to be the most natural human life giving activity there is. We should be proud if the sight not ashamed. Hopefully one day we will look back on this time in society and ask what were we thinking.

Aussie Bob of Tummamarine Posted at 8:35 AM January 22, 2013
Are we becoming a society that does not care about the other persons in our community? All I see here is what the individual wants, ie their rights. We don't live in an environment that is singular, so let's consider other persons, and have acceptance instead of this clash of 'my rights as an individual'. We are multi culture nation with alot of different expectations.

Christina of Melbourne Posted at 8:58 AM January 22, 2013
When a woman is breastfeeding "uncovered" all you can see is the top of her breast, no more than you can see on a woman wearing a small bikini top. Her nipples are covered by her babies head, so enough of the crap about "boobs being flashed and swung wildly about." If you are offended by the sight of that, then you should be complaining about the women at the pool in tiny bikinis too. If you are not then you simply have a problem with breast feeding and that is discrimination. If you don't want to see it you don't have to look. She NEEDS to feed her baby, she has every right to do so. Her baby may dislike being covered, as many do, and that is not her fault. If you don't want to see her breasts look at her face instead! Or just look elsewhere. As for the "sex is natural but we don't do it in public in case it offends" comments, sex in public is illegal. Breastfeeding in public is legal. By the way, if you said "nice breasts" to any woman in a public place whether breast feeding or not, she would quite rightly call it sexual harassment. Because it is. She doesn't have her breast exposed for your pleasure. It is to feed her child. Grow up.

And Julia Gillard labelled Tony Abbott a misogynist - what for? If anyone is a misogynist it is David Koch. Time to retire David and leave television hosting to a younger generation, it is obvious you are still in the dark ages.

exasperated Posted at 11:00 AM January 22, 2013
It just shows how off kilter and oversexualised our society is if a mother cannot breastfeed her child in public. The mother and baby's comfort levels should be the first consideration. Everyone else is second. If you are allowed to eat in that location so should a breastfeeding baby. Babies are very proficient at feeding so I guess for the 20min it takes you can cast your gaze elsewhere!

James of Uk Posted at 11:06 AM January 22, 2013
I hate how everyone uses the term 'right' - everything seems to be 'right' nowadays, typically for no reason other than some person states it to be. The ability of nost people to put forward a convincing argument is almost non-existent. And don't even get me started on the idiocy of 'if they have a problem, that's their problem, not mine' which would excuse every crime ever committed.
Comment 16 of 18
Ryan of Australia Posted at 11:15 AM January 22, 2013
While I support a woman's right to breastfeed in public, I do believe that it should be done in a discrete manner, preferably in a quiet(low traffic) area. Is it really that wrong that some people would rather not have someone obviously breast feeding in front of them and if it is done in public, that it be done in a discrete manner? It's legal for me to break wind in the middle of people eating too but common courtesy states that I should move away from people. I admit that its not the best example. Smoking around people eating would be another example.

Tired of women's BS, and I am a Woman of Sydney Posted at 11:23 AM January 22, 2013
I agree with Kochie. I am a women and I dont like women breast feeding in public, but that's what we have to live with. So to all the breast feeding women out there, we as a nation are within our rights to have an opinion, we have to put up with your breast feeding in public, so respect our rights to have an opinion.

Bummer... Hate equipment failures
When we were in Annapolis our rigger warned us that the torque tube on our furler had a broken weld and could fail. It's a Harken Mark I furler, circa 1984. Three weeks ago I called Harken to see about a replacement and they needed a part number off the drum. I got it to them last week, and it turned out they sold the LAST torque tube made the week before!
So we're out on vacation this week cruising around Lake Champlain. It's blowing 15+ yesterday. We went to reef the genny when it went over 15 and snap... there goes the last weld and our furler (the torque tube holds the extrusion, which holds the sail, in place, so without it you can't furl the sail). We dropped the genny and lashed it to the foredeck and headed in.
We've never done any rigging on Champlain so I don't know anyone. I looked on the Harken website for authorized dealers and found one based at our next stop - Plattsburgh NY. I got permission from the wife to order a new Harken Mk IV furler and it's being overnighted for a Thursday install, along with a new forestay. Hopefully the guy is good! He said he was booked but he'd squeeze us in for the full day install. And then we'll continue our vacation without missing a beat! (unless the furler doesn't get there on Thursday or we're missing a part).
I'm trying to figure out whether this is a bad or a good thing

Re: no start Yanmar
I don't know whether you have solved your problem or not because I never read all the posts but I'll offer this in case the problem persists.
I have a two cylinder Kubota in my genset and I left it unstarted for about a year. when I came to start it it coughed once or twice then each time I tried starting it, it started running for a few seconds before dying.
After a long search of the fuel system, I randomly pulled the rocker cover off and discovered that one of the valves had stuck down and the pushrod had jumped out of the socket in the rocker. So I had just one cylinder with compression and that was enough to fire but not to keep the engine running.
Refitted the pushrod, eased up the valve with WD40, started her up and she runs sweetly again
There were no strange noises or anything to indicate a mechanical issue so the naysayers who are going to say it would make a noise are wrong. Once the push rod jumps out, the valve simply doesn't work anymore.
I don't know if Yanmar is the same as Kubota, on the Kubota the valve doesn't appear to go deep enough to touch the piston so no long term damage resulted from the valve sticking down
Try it. it only takes a few minutes to lift off the rocker cover.

Stoke City goalkeeper Jack Butland is hoping for an extended first team run.
Butland is aiming to push himself into contention for Roy Hodgson's World Cup squad after finally making his full Stoke debut.
He said: "The World Cup has always been my focus. Having tasted the England set up before I know what it's like, it's the greatest feeling ever to play for your country.
"I'm focused on getting back into that squad, and if I was to make the World Cup it'd be a target achieved.
"But I need to be playing in the Premier League and with a good quality of performance if I want to go to the World Cup.
"There's goalkeepers around me that are playing regularly like Joe Hart, Ben Foster, John Ruddy and Frazer Forster.
"They're playing at the top level regularly and if I can match that level of performance and perform even better then I've got a chance, if not it's going to be difficult.
"If I can knock on the door and say 'I'm in this form, I want to go' then hopefully that comes around."
