The Muslim Brotherhood movement in Syria, long banned by the government, has called for civilians to gather in the streets to defend their freedom. This is the first call to flood the streets from the Muslim Brotherhood, whose leader was ousted from Syria when demonstrations for democracy started in the country. According to the law enforcement officials, about 400 demonstrators have already been killed by government forces. However, government officials claimed on Thursday that only 70 civilians have been killed. The 27 countries of the European Union are expected to gather in Brussels to discuss possible sanctions against Syria on Friday, as a response to the Syrian government's use of force against its own population.
Four people were reportedly killed after Israeli forces stationed near the border with Gaza fired on a refugee camp. According to reports, at least three shells exploded not far from a residential area located near the east side of the camp. According to Israeli reports, the Israeli forces opened fire to stop militants who were trying to install explosive devices along the border. After the end of the Israeli military's operation in Gaza in early 2009, Israel established a so-called buffer zone along the border with the strip. The buffer zone stretches 150 meters to 300 meters deep into the enclave. The military reportedly opens fire, without warning, upon anyone sighted in the buffer zone.

The region is one of the few remaining provinces where large numbers of Al Qaeda and other Sunni insurgents still battle Iraqi security forces.

The Libya investigation was launched on March 3.
A US jury has found Russian cargo pilot Konstantin Yaroshenko guilty on charges of smuggling cocaine. He and his associates stood trial in US Federal Court in New York on Thursday. According to the prosecution, Yaroshenko was involved in a criminal scheme to transport an estimated 200 kilograms of cocaine via diplomatic mail from Ghana to New York on a Delta Airlines plane. Yaroshenko was also accused of transporting drugs by air from Venezuela to Liberia and then to Ghana. The defense insisted that there was no crime committed on the territory of the United States and that the accused only agreed to transport drugs within South America and Africa. The judge, however, argued that the defendants realized that the drugs would end up in the US. The sentence in the case will be announced on July 28.

A powerful blast that rocked a café in the Moroccan city of Marrakesh on Thursday could have been a terrorist attack, Moroccan officials said. The explosion killed at least 14 people and wounded about 20, most of them tourists. The incident occurred at Cafe Argana in Marrakesh's main Djemaa el-Fna Square.

The head of the UN nuclear agency has revealed that Syria tried to secretly build a nuclear reactor. Yukiya Amano said Thursday that a target destroyed by Israeli warplanes five years ago "was a reactor under construction." Syria denied allegations of constructing a nuclear facility. However, it did not let the IAEA inspect the site in 2008. The IAEA had previously suggested that the destroyed structure could have been a reactor. The latest comments by Amano were the first time the nuclear agency has said it unequivocally.

A doctor in the Libyan rebel-held city of Misrata says a NATO airstrike has accidentally killed 12 opposition fighters. Dr Hasan Malitan, who witnessed the accident, said Wednesday's airstrike hit a building where the rebels were holed up. NATO airstrikes are supposed to help rebels in their fight against the troops of Muammar Gaddafi. However, it was not the first time allies have accidentally killed anti-Gaddafi fighters. Misrata, Libya's third largest city, has been besieged by government troops trying to seize the rebel stronghold in the western part of the country.
A 12-year-old boy has succeeded the throne of what was once one of India's most influential and wealthy royal families. Kumar Padmanabh Singh, an adopted grandson of the late ruler of Jaipur, was crowned as the new Maharaja of Jaipur on Wednesday during a grand ceremony at the City Palace in the city of Jaipur in northwestern India. Even though India officially abolished all royal titles after independence from Britain in 1947 and government reforms in 1970, many royal families are still revered by locals in their former kingdoms. They also possess some of their palaces, forts, jewelry and antiques. The previous ruler of Jaipur, Brigadier Sawai Bhawani Singh died on April 17 at the age of 80 after a prolonged illness. However, not everybody in India is excited about the event with many viewing it as an offense to the republic and a medieval remnant.

Therefore, the UK government said Thursday that the Syrian ambassador's presence would be "unacceptable" and he will not attend. The 185 envoys from all countries with which Britain has "normal diplomatic relations" have been invited.

"I would like to inform everyone that I am introducing another draft bill dedicated to state officials' responsibilities, including the declaration of income," Medvedev said on Thursday at a United Russia party meeting. "Giving or not giving information does not depend on their good will anymore. At the request of relevant agencies the banks must provide it," the president said. The disclosure rule would also involve the officials' families, Medvedev added.

Twelve Iranian lawmakers have called for the impeachment of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad for numerous violations of laws approved by the parliament, according to Payvand news website. The latest political move comes amid speculation about the rift between Iran's president and the supreme leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Recently, Heydar Moslehi, the intelligence chief, submitted his resignation under pressure from Ahmadinejad. But he was reinstated after Khamenei intervened and asked him to stay. According to Iranian law, at least ten people must sign a demand for impeachment of the president or ministers.
Prime Minister Vladimir Putin has praised the development of healthcare and medicine for improving the demographic situation in Russia. "Since 2005, life expectancy has increased by almost four years," Putin told a conference on healthy living, in Moscow on Thursday. "Mortality has decreased by more than 11 per cent.

But the protesters want him to go immediately.
Turkey has called on Syrian President Bashar Assad to stop the violent crackdown against the anti-government uprising that has engulfed the country. Turkish Premier Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that a delegation is expected to be in Damascus on Thursday to deliver Turkey's concern over the violence in the neighboring state. Erdogan has said Turkey does not want to see an "authoritarian, totalitarian, imposing structure," in Syria. Meanwhile, European countries have threatened to impose sanctions on Syria if the crackdown continues.
Supplying Libyan rebels with arms and sending military instructors to the North African state violates the UN Security Council resolution on Libya, Russia's Foreign Ministry spokesman Aleksey Sazonov has stated. "Supplying arms to Benghazi, and sending military instructors and experts there, which some NATO countries have done, signifies that the coalition could be dragged into fight on one of the sides in Libya's internal conflict," Sazonov said. Such measures do not comply with the UN resolution's aims, and could result in escalation of violence, he concluded.
Cambodian officials say their military commanders have reached a ceasefire deal with their Thai counterparts on Thursday following seven days of cross-border skirmishes over contested territory surrounding two ancient Khmer temples. A Cambodian government spokesman said the agreement was reached after a 40-minute meeting at the border on Thursday. Under the agreement, the two countries will open border checkpoints which were closed due to the clashes that claimed 15 lives. The border was quiet for most of the day Thursday after artillery fire was reported in the morning.
By sending a representative to Benghazi, NATO is trying to prove its versatility, Russia's permanent envoy to the alliance Dmitry Rogozin claims. "NATO's new strategic concept states that from now on the organization will hold its operation without the assistance of the EU or other international organizations," Rogozin pointed out. "NATO wants to show that it can be versatile in all kinds of work, be at once a soldier, a nurse, and a nanny," he said. A NATO source said on Wednesday that the alliance would establish a civilian post in Libya's eastern city of Benghazi in order to step up political contact with the opposition.
A military court in the Sunni-ruled kingdom of Bahrain has sentenced four Shiite protesters to death over the killing of two policemen during the uprising. Thursday's verdict is the first involving capital punishment related to the anti-government unrest that was inspired by the wave of revolts across the Arab world. Three other protesters were sentenced to life in prison. The Sunni rulers declared martial law last month in connection with the uprising and let Saudi-led foreign troops on to the island to help quell the protests. The oil-rich Gulf country descended into turmoil as hundreds of thousands of Shiite-led opposition called for greater rights and freedoms in the kingdom.
Controversial opposition leader, writer Eduard Limonov, has stated his intent to run in the 2012 presidential election. Limonov, who heads the unregistered "Other Russia" party, claims to have great ambitions. "I am the only candidate who is out of the system," Limonov said. "All the other [opposition] candidates belong to the system. Vladimir Zhirinovsky is a man of the system, so is Gennady Zyuganov, and even Mikhail Kasyanov," he added.
Prince William and Catherine Middleton say they have been deeply touched by the affection they have felt from many people since their engagement. The British royal couple expressed their gratitude on Thursday a day ahead of the wedding ceremony in London. The wedding program was also released on Thursday. In a message at the beginning of the program they say: "We are both so delighted that you are able to join us in celebrating what we hope will be one of the happiest days of our lives. The affection shown to us by so many people during our engagement has been incredibly moving, and has touched us both deeply.'' The wedding ceremony will take place in Westminster Abbey on Friday.
The latest brutal crackdown on protesters in the Syrian city of Daraa is fueling massive dissent within the regime of President Bashar al-Assad. According to Reuters, the violence forced 200 members of the ruling Baath Party to resign in a sign of discontent with the killing of at least 35 civilians in the southern city on Monday. Diplomats also suggest that there are signs of discontent among the troops, where the majority of soldiers are Sunnis, but most officers belong to the same minority Alawite sect as the president. There have also been reports that some soldiers were executed after refusing to shoot at protesters. The death toll in the six-weeks-long uprising that engulfed Syria has reached 450, according to rights groups.
Kyrgyzstan is tightening security measures as extremist and terrorist activity is reportedly on the rise in the republic. Eleven months after the bloody ethnic clashes in Kyrgyzstan's south, the situation in the region remains tense, head of the Osh Region Interior Ministry Department, Kursan Asanov, has said.

In June 2010, clashes between ethnic Kyrgyz and Uzbek citizens of Kyrgyzstan in the south of the republic resulted in 427 people killed and some 3,000 wounded.
A former president of Costa Rica has been sentenced to five years in jail on corruption charges. Miguel Angel Rodriguez has been convicted of instigating corruption but was absolved of illegal enrichment. He allegedly took money in exchange for giving the Latin American branch of the French telecom company Alcatel a US$149 million cell phone contract with the Costa Rican Electricity Institute during his presidency from 1998 to 2002. Rodriguez briefly served as chief of the Organization of American States but had to resign over the corruption scandal.
Thai and Cambodian troops resumed fighting before dawn on Thursday in the border area around the ruins of two ancient Khmer temples. The clashes over disputed land surrounding Ta Moan and Ta Krabey temples continued for a seventh say.

China has released the results of the latest census showing that its population is aging rapidly, while the birth rate remains low, according to Xinhua news agency. The head of the National Bureau of Statistics said the sixth nationwide census showed that the proportion of people aged 60 or older reached 13.26 per cent, which is almost three per cent higher than in 2000. Meanwhile, the number of citizens aged 14 or younger was only 16.6 per cent, which is 6.29 per cent lower than it was in the previous poll. The data published on Thursday also revealed that half of Chinese now live in the cities. The rapid aging of the population in the world's most populous country sparks worries that China will soon not be able to sustain its booming economy.
Russia's representative at the UN Security Council has advised the organization against interfering in Syria's internal affairs. According to Russia's envoy, Aleksandr Pankin, the conflict in Libya does not threaten international security, and requires no external interference. "It is getting quite clear that some of the protesters in Syria and other states hope that more protests will make the international community take their side and help them," he observed. At the Wednesday meeting of the UN Security Council, representatives of its 15 member states failed to ratify a note denouncing the violent clampdown on anti-government forces in Syria.

Under the agreement, Hamas and Fatah will form an interim government and fix a day for general elections within a year. Hamas has been governing Gaza for more than four years since seizing power from the long-ruling Fatah, which has continued to control the West Bank. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately announced that it is impossible for Palestinians to have peace with his country when Hamas still does not recognize Israel's rights to exist.

However, the senior commander who directed the fighting said Coulibaly's death appeared to be a suicide. The situation in the region became tense after Alassan Ouattara won the presidential election in November 2010, but his rival, the incumbent president Laurent Gbagbo, refused to hand over power. The ensuing struggle led to violence which has claimed the lives of at least 1,000 people.
At least nine people were reportedly killed and about 100 wounded during the dispersal of protestors in the Yemeni capital Sanaa.

A Limited Ploy? – ACS:LAW and Media C.A.T close together
To those who have endured the letters of ACS:LAW from May 2009, the news is simply stunning, albeit there is an air of cynicism to be had. It is true that ACS:LAW and their symbiotic monster Media C.A.T have ceased trading. It was announced in yet another leaked email, an email sent by Andrew Crossley confirming that not only had he closed his business but to prove the point of connection with his long time friend Lee Bowden, he also announced that Bowden's company Media C.A.T was also closing up shop.
This story has been well covered by TorrentFreak, but I wish to dwell not on this news so much as what the future may hold.
The SRA as has been reported has already referred Crossley to the Solicitors Disciplinary Tribunal for a THIRD time. The decision to fold BOTH companies just days before a Judge was due to hold a hearing regarding costs and damages, must be to all but the most positive thinking airhead to be in the least suspicious. Can a limited company be held for costs and damages IF it no longer exists?
What is disturbing, it that on the date of the second hearing, Bowden not being present, it has transpired that he was busy setting up another Limited Company…now I know this sounds to unbelievable but it is sadly true. The Company "100 Mile Media" was registered as a domain, as can be seen here.
Lee Bowden is the Managing Director of "Piri Ltd" and the "The Textworks", as well as Media C.A.T, there will be others I am sure. What is so galling is that it seems that Bowden will be able to walk away from all this "Scot free", his company being a Limited Company will protect him against costs that would have been surely awarded against him. Bowden was described by ACS:LAW as a "Copyright Expert", well, in addition to that he has also been a "Public Relations Agency" and also "Building Development".
We will have to see what happens at 14:00 on Tuesday 8th February at the Patents Court. What will become of the data that ACS:LAW still hold on people? Will it be destroyed or sold off to someone else?
Andrew Crossley acquired a Limited Company called "Larper Ltd" back in April 2010. What is worrying is that come the hearing on the 8th February, unless Judge Birss finishes the practice of "Speculative Invoicing" it can be picked back up by changing limited companies, folding and starting anew, I realise of course there are more parameters involved, ie the NPO granting, which I doubt will be allowed to be given out as freely as in the past.
Also of note is the number of EX ACS:LAW employees busy scratching the name of the Company from their CVs (Leyla Mehru, hello). I believe we need to keep an eye out for the main players activities in all this, Adam Glen, Jonathan Miller, Terence Tsang seem to be the main ones in addition to Crossley and Bowden. We have already seen that Miller plus one other "Ex ACS:LAW employee" were behind GCB Ltd.
These are the details of the companies setup by Bowden and Crossley (I have included Media C.A.T as it seems interesting that it shares the same "Virtual space" as his new Company.

ACS:LAWs Terence Tsang the "Del Boy" of file sharing buys job lot of monitoring programs "Off the back of a lorry" to help out his Bosses Mate!
With news breaking that the Paralegal Terence Tsang has bought code from a freelancer with a view to:
"Create a bit-torrent client for me which will obtain details about file sharers of certain torrents. Server is Linux. The torrent client just needs to monitor IP addresses and take information which is then placed in a database," writes Tsang in his request.
"The information needed is as follows: Host IP, Hit Date and time (GMT time), Provider network name (i believe whois search will help with this – can you think of a better way?), P2P Client, File name, File size, MD5 of file,"
"So we need to get the software to monitor a number of specific torrents it needs to create a database of the above information. The database needs to be able to import into a database file like csv. I am only interested in UK IP addresses. Easy job if you have the skills,"
It seems only right in light of ACS LAWs failure to release details regarding their "Monitoring system", and the fact that ACS LAW Sole Partner Andrew Crossleys buddy and work associate Lee Bowden has entered the fray as a client of ACS LAW to do what they do best and SPECULATE, so here goes.
Lee Bowden owns MEDIA C.A.T and The Text Works and is a Partner with Jay Puddy of Pirri LTD. Although there is NO suggestion that Pirri LTD is involved with this but MEDIA C.A.T most certainly is and so is Bowden.
Indeed at the hearing at the Royal Courts of Justice in London on November 19th 2009 When Chief Master Winegarten asked why rights holders were dealing with Media C.A.T and not directly with DigiProtect, Crossley said that
"[Media C.A.T] happen to operate in the UK…dealing with UK companies…" In referring to the scheme ACS:Law and DigiProtect operate in respect of these hardcore porn titles, Crossley tried to suggest that they were doing a public service by helping to prevent the sharing of restricted movies on P2P.
Chief Master Winegarten responded by noting that
"[this is] not a moral crusade" and that in his opinion, ACS:Law and DigiProtect were doing this "…because you want the money."
So what are we to make of this? Well it PROVES that Terence Tsang bought code for the very purpose of bringing file sharing suspects to court.
The work dates back to April 2008, I do NOT know when he left Davenport Lyons but this time scale would at least indicate the timing of a realistic business practice. Indeed their WAS a abortive website that attempted this that was registered back in January 2009, it name was http://www.stoppiracy.co.uk/ and a quick WHOIS search reveals that the Registrant is…… Terence Tsang of Advanmedia/AdvanGroup and also of ACS:LAW.
We KNOW that Lee Bowden and Andrew Crossley are friends or at the least associates. Bowdens Company Media C.A.T is in trouble with it's finances and needs cash, how? Well a quick search of Companies House Website SHOWS that Media C.A.T is in trouble.
1) If Terence Tsang had inside knowledge into the methods used by Logistep and Digiprotect which having worked for DL we assume he would have. Have we just uncovered the specification of the "Monitoring Software"? , if so then this confirms what we have suspected all along, that this "Monitoring Software" is not fit for purpose. This may also explain the complete reluctance by ACS:Law to provide the "Evidence" and "Expert Reports" to those that have requested them.
2) Is this commissioned application the very same monitoring software now being used by Media C.A.T ? , and if it is then is this not a serious conflict of interest? not only does it raise serious concerns about the quality and processes used by the "Monitoring Software" it's also possible that the solicitors concerned:
a. Commissioned the program
b. Operate the Program
c. Gather the Evidence
d. Produce the letters of Claim
e. Receive Money from the "Damages" claimed
This may be something that the SRA may wish to investigate further and if the suspicions are proved to be true they should be held to account for their actions.
So What is the Truth? Is Andrew Crossley merely helping out a friend in need(Lee Bowden) or is Terence Tsang trying to break away from ACS LAW? How Did Tilly Bailey & Irvine get involved? ….we cant know for sure but certainly their needs to be an investigation by the Solicitors Regulation Authority at the VERY least into the actions of these three people. It seems at the VERY least that all roads lead to Terence Tsang and Advanmedia/AdvanGroup

text: I came across one of these Bumper Issue bags from Crumpler yesterday and I was really impressed by the build quality. It feels like a nice balance between durable and lightweight. It carries about 450 cubes and has an spot for a hydration bladder and the tube comes straight through the shoulder strap. The back is mesh padded for sweat evaporation. And even though it's small, it's still got compression straps in case you don't have anything to pack with you but don't want the shape flapping around. It's hard to see in the pictures, but there are even reflector tabs stitched behind the clips for the compression straps. The bag is full of these very well-thought details.

HP vs Torque vs Fuel Efficiency

Oddometer: 800
Here is an interesting quote by DieselMaxPower at the Honda site which explains the conundrum of the power at the rear wheel not being multiplied by using a lower gear even though the vehicle does accelerate much faster. An example would be The CBR250R with an engine power peak at 8,700. If you are rolling along at a steady speed in first at 8,700 rpm, and then crack full throttle, the bike will accelerate violently. We can feel this very obviously. Now do the same in top gear. The bike is felt to start going faster but the rate of acceleration is much, much less. Even though we used the same amount of power from the engine and at the wheel. The acceleration is much greater with the lower gearing but we have put the same amount of power to the ground over time as in the higher gear. There must be some quantity that is increasing at the same rate in either gear (disregarding the higher resistance of speed to wind drag in top gear).
The ENERGY of the system is increasing at the same rate in either gear. But we are very bad at perceiving energy so it seems like top gear does very little and first gear is doing much more with the same amount of power.
Example of how bad we are at perceiving differences in energy:
Cruising along at a steady speed in a car so you can't feel the wind, 10 mph feels pretty much the same as 70 mph. But 70 mph has much more energy and would be a very bad time to run into a wall.
From DiesleMaxPower
"Torque doesn't do one thing while horsepower does another. Torque is a measure of what's happening to the bike. So is horsepower. It depends on what you want to look at. Torque can give you a way to look at the accelerations. This is great for most humans because we can perceive things like position, speed, and acceleration. Horsepower lets you look at energy. Humans don't have a good way to perceive energy, except for maybe temperature changes which we don't include. When we analyze the dynamics of the bike we look at the speed of the bike (thats the momentum side) and the kinetic energy (thats the energy side). In the simple analysis we're doing now the two are so simplistic that they will always be consistent with one another. It doesn't matter if you decide that torque moves the bike or horsepower. The reason I like to look at HP because the math is much easier, as we've shown with our torque charts. You don't need to transform it through gears."

The onslaught of early tornadoes, which cut a wide swath across the Midwest and South, will leave behind more than death and destruction. Higher insurance rates for homes, cars and businesses will surely follow in their wake.
While climatologists and politicians may choose to ignore the reality of global warming, insurers have to contend with it because it hits them where it hurts most -- their profits. The nation's largest home insurer, State Farm, saw 2011 earnings cut in half compared to the previous year, largely due to catastrophes like Hurricane Irene and the Joplin, Mo., tornado.
Not in Kansas anymore
This year is shaping up even worse, perhaps far worse. A double dose of tornadoes recently touched down in a dozen states, demolishing towns and killing at least 39 people. A record-breaking 94 twisters were reported on a single day. Tornadoes used to be commonplace on the Kansas plains; now they ripple across the rolling hills of Tennessee and into coastal states like Virginia.
Another new phenomenon: they're coming earlier. A mild winter with sharply varying temperatures between regions has brought killer storms at the beginning of March, more than a month prior to last year's disasters in April.
'Action is needed now'
Insurance rates are already trending higher. According to insurance broker Marsh, property insurance rates were up an average of 3 percent last year. Allstate boosted homeowners' rates by 8.5 percent and Travelers raised its rates for business customers by 8 percent.
State insurance regulators in this ever-widening tornado alley will attempt to push back, but it's hard to argue against the ravages of a 150-mile-per-hour wind. According to Swiss Reinsurance the average U.S. weather-related insurance loss grew from $3 billion in the 1980s to about $20 billion in the last decade. "A warming climate will only add to this trend of increasing losses, which is why action is needed now," says Mark Way, a Swiss Re expert on climate change.
To rebuild or not to rebuild?
Swiss Re's opinion is important because, ultimately, U.S. insurers have to have insurance too, and they get it from reinsurers like Swiss Re and Munich Re. But these large international companies also suffered in 2011, taking $107 billion in losses, according to broker Aon Benfield.
So chances are that many of those whose homes and schools are flattened won't get the insurance they need to rebuild, or will get it but only at an inflated cost with a big deductible. And, with no real action on the climate-change front, U.S. homeowners will do what they always do: expect the government to step in.
Here's hurricane season
Good luck with that. Our National Flood Insurance Program is drowning in $19 billion of debt. Florida's state-run insurer, which props up its bicoastal properties, has been widely criticized-and both its governor and Legislature are trying desperately to scale it back.
Then there's hurricane season. The ultimate one-two punch of global warming, which feeds off the waters of the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean, starts in June and lasts six months. A hurricane that slams Miami and then tears across the Sunshine State -- causing an estimated $100 billion of damage borne by both Florida and its insurance companies - would be an insurers' nightmare.

How To Search For Torrent Files Using Google
Deprecated: Function eregi() is deprecated in /nfs/c02/h06/mnt/46791/domains/thewrongadvices.com/html/wp-content/plugins/tpbc.php on line 96
Similar to the method for searching for Rapidshare files, you can also use Google to search for torrents as well.
If your're looking for something that's a little obscure this will save you a lot of time. Instead of checking multiple torrent websites, you can let Google do all the work. It won't work every time but more often than not you'll find what your looking for.
To search for torrents we are going to use the filetype operator. This will tell the search engine to only look for files with a specific extension. In this case the bittorrent extension.
For example:
By typing "filetype:torrent family guy" into Google we can search for torrent files which contain the keywords "family guy".
As you can see, this is a very quick and easy way to search for torrents. It's not going to beat a well structured torrent site but it has its uses.

PHP'd be even better for that, since you could make a "start bordered table"

IP address pool drained as last batch assigned
The original batch of internet addresses has officially run dry as the final five blocks of internet protocols known as IP version 4 are assigned to the regional bodies responsible for their distribution.
Despite containing some 16 million IP addresses apiece the five remaining blocks of internet protocols called /8s are expected to have been completely exhausted by September this year ending the run of 4.3 billion addresses assigned under IPv4.
.relatedLinksLeft { font-size:12px; width:300px; margin:12px 12px 12px 0; float:left; padding:0px 0px 10px 0px; background:#ececec; } h3.rlTitle {margin:0px; display:block; padding:5px 0 4px 15px !important; background:#ddd; }
There is no need to fret about the future of internet access and content, however, follow-up to IPv4, IP version 6 is already well under way despite the full move to iPv6 expected to take a number of years to complete. Ensuring similar changes need not be made again in the near future the pool of IPv6 addresses is said to be a "billion, trillion times larger" than its predecessor.
"This is one of the most important days in the internet's history," declared Rod Beckstrom, head of net overseer Icann on the assigning of the final five blocks of current IP addresses.
He added: "It is a point that the founders of the internet thought would occur far in the future. It gives us an opportunity to shift to an internet protocol that offers a pool so large that it is difficult even to imagine."
What other tech related incidensts pegged for far off in the distant future do you think will occur earlier than expected? Let us know via the T3 Twitter and Facebook feeds.

In the spring of 2012, the faculty, staff, trustees, administrators and students of Freed-Hardeman University convened for several days to develop a strategic plan for the university. The charge was to build on the heritage of Freed-Hardeman University and chart the course for the future.
An Opportunity
"We have an opportunity to become the university of choice for members of churches of Christ," said Wiley. "Our focus is simple: build the best undergraduate program for those associated with churches of Christ."
What that means, according to Wiley, is Freed-Hardeman will continue to create academic programs that are in demand and create them quickly. It means that the best and brightest faculty will be employed by Freed-Hardeman. It means resources will be directed at creating an academic environment and university experience that is second to none.
A Plan
The strategic plan began with four priorities that were developed by the board. Those priorities focus on improving recruiting, academics, non-traditional programs and the overall financial position of the university.
"We made the decision to stay focused on the young people of the church," said Brett Pharr, chairman of the board of trustees. "The board convened and we discussed at length what the future holds for Freed-Hardeman University. We believe our future, as with the church, lies in the lives of our youth. Freed-Hardeman University will be dedicated to providing the best academic environment for those associated with the churches of Christ. We will stay true to our core values, we will stay true to God's word and we will stay true to our mission, to provide every Freed-Hardeman student an education permeated with Christian values and faith of our prestigous heritage."
From these priorities, more than 150 faculty, staff, administrators and board members met to create the Freed-Hardeman University Strategic Plan. Through hours of meeting, four strategic goals were created. Each area of the university was then asked to produce specific goals for its area. The strategic plan can be seen at www.fhu.edu/strategic plan.
Already Underway
As of this fall, several items of the seven-year plan are taking shape. In August, FHU opened the Anderson Science Center (read more on page 8), a state-of-the-art facility that is home to most of the university science classes and their renowned undergraduate research facility. The admissions staff has completely revamped the way they recruit students. The pricing structure for Freed-Hardeman University has been simplified to one simple price with no fee structure. The alumni relations office has implemented an alumni-in-residence program that creates traditions and experiences that are so important to maintaining and enhancing fundraising for the future of FHU. The university has also appointed Jesse Robertson, dean of graduate studies and outreach, to work with all of the graduate directors, faculty and deans to improve the university's offerings and to increase enrollment in graduate, off-campus and nontraditional programs.
Transformative Learning
One of the most significant initiatives that came about as a result of the strategic plan was a focus on transformative learning. The Vice President for Academics and Enrollment Management, Dr. C.J. Vires, recently appointed a working group focused on transforming the undergraduate academic experience. That translates into a completely different approach to teaching and learning according to the chair of the working group, Dr. LeAnn Self-Davis, dean of the School of Sciences and Mathematics.
"New facilities are great, but it's what happens in those facilities that defines a university," said Dr. Self-Davis. "We want to create a learning environment unlike any other. What that means is creating an environment where our students live in the classroom and not sit in the classroom. In future classrooms at FHU, you may be knee deep in a turtle pond doing research or you may be face-to-face with real patients at area hospitals. It may be our students find their classroom has no walls, no desks, no screens, only real-life, hands-on, service-oriented, Christ-centered, academically-engaged, rigorous training that is unlike any other place in the world."
While that seems like a difficult task, it is one the university is excited about pursuing. The overall work group is divided into three subgroups comprised of almost 30 of the best and brightest faculty on campus.
"I think for a few there is a perception that because of our affiliation with the church or because of our size that our academics may be sub-par," Vires said. "Nothing could be further from the truth. Because of our size and our location, we are able to put students with faculty members where they can receive one-on-one, hands-on experience in the field or classroom. Our new learning environment will further distinguish Freed-Hardeman, a distinction that will be obvious to our prospective students. Our size and location coupled with our first-class, Christian faculty as some of our greatest assets and allow us to be a campus where we provide each student with a unique amount of care and attention. I believe that to be one of our greatest strengths."
Celebrating the Future
In 2019, Freed-Hardeman University will celebrate 150 years of academic excellence in West Tennessee. As the university approaches this historic date, the board of trustees has drawn a clear path toward creating a university with deep roots in the churches of Christ while expanding and promoting the academic reach of the institution.
"Make no mistake, we are a university that is associated with the churches of Christ," said Wiley. "We will continue to embrace that relationship by educating Christian leaders, preachers, missionaries, doctors, business professionals, scientists…every discipline by infusing the word of God into every classroom, every aspect of the university." We look forward to that future.
To achieve its vision, Freed-Hardeman University will focus resources and efforts necessary to enhance four institutional priorities.
Institutional Priority #1:
Substantially improve recruiting and marketing
Freed-Hardeman University will develop and execute a plan to substantially improve recruiting and marketing activities with an emphasis on peer-level execution capability and targeted messages emphasizing our natural and intended areas of strength. Consistent with this priority, Freed-Hardeman University will develop a comprehensive and targeted brand and purpose.
Institutional Priority #2:
Continuously improve academic offerings
Freed-Hardeman University will create a permanent, rational process to evaluate academic offerings and eliminate programs that have low student demand, are financially inefficient, and/or are not productive in terms of credit hours and graduates. Eliminated programs will be replaced with higher-yielding, market-driven programs.
Institutional Priority #3:
Develop non-traditional academic programs
Freed-Hardeman University will explore and recommend possible non-traditional programs for the primary purpose of bringing profit back to the Henderson campus to support the University's core purpose (residential undergraduates). Freed-Hardeman remains committed to a greater than 75 percent member of the church of Christ ratio among traditional on-campus undergraduates. No such expectation exists for any non-traditional or graduate program.
Institutional Priority #4:
Improve the financial position of the University
Freed-Hardeman University will develop a five-year financial plan consistent with achieving the Strategic Plan that seeks to enhance the endowment and strengthen the financial position of the university. Fiscal responsibility ensures the future sustainability of the institution and reduce the need for external lines of credit.
Four strategic goals further focus institutional efforts to enhance the University's priorities and to achieve its vision.
Strategic Goal #1 Freed-Hardeman University will reinforce the benefit of an FHU education through clear articulation of our vision and execution of our mission.
Strategic Goal #2 Freed-Hardeman University will be a dynamic, growing community of Christian scholars who are actively engaged in thinking, doing, and learning.
Strategic Goal #3 Freed-Hardeman University will optimize the use of our current resources and develop new ones to realize our vision.
Strategic Goal #4 Freed-Hardeman University will further develop and enhance relationships that benefit the University and its constituents.
The Freed-Hardeman community has a shared responsibility to ensure the success of Strategic Plan 2012-19. Accordingly, each of the University's eight functional divisions has developed a plan that aligns with the University's strategic goals and further ensures the University's priorities are enhanced and its vision is achieved.

Cheetahs v Western Force - Live
Full time It's been a scrappy encounter but the Cheetahs won't care, they've won a close one this week and they deserved it to. For the Force, the woe continues. Join us tomorrow for the final clash of the weekend between the Crusaders and the Reds, it should be a cracker.
80 The Force can't hold on though and van Zyl boots the ball into touch and that's the ball game!
79 An early engagement gives the Force a free kick and they move it quickly. After six phases they knock it on though and flanker Heinrich Brussow produces a super clearance kick!
78 The Cheetahs are driven back at ruck time and they concede possession inside their 22. A big moment here for the Force.
77 The home side launch another attack, it's not particularly pretty and is knocked on. Seymour puts in a great clearance kick and puts the Cheetahs right back in their 22.
76 Hodgson is penalised for not releasing the tackler and Ebersohn has a kick from 47m on the angle. He strikes it really well but just doesn't have the direction.
74 Ashley Johnson does really well to hold the attacker up and form a maul, he gets lots of support and it's held up. Cheetahs ball as a number of replacements come on, perhaps most importantly, Ben Seymour comes on for the unimpressive David Harvey at fly-half.
72 Harvey knocks it on and the Cheetahs look to counter through the backs. Robert Ebersohn tries to put in a chip as they run out of space but it's out on the full.
71 Sias Ebersohn does really well to kick to the corner and push the Force back. Sheehan clears with an up and under and Jacobs looks to run it back. He's penalised for holding on though and the Force have a line-out just outside the Cheetahs 22.
69 The Force have a line-out on halfway as they look to make some inroads into Cheetahs territory. They're hold up at the maul though and the Cheetahs once again have possession as it goes to ground and the ball doesn't appear.
66 Manu is pinged again and the Cheetahs set up a line-out on the Force 22m. A bit tough there on the prop, he was certainly making a good attempt to bind. The men in white bash it up strongly but they're penalised five metres from the line!
64 Wow, this game has been really messy at times and both teams exchange mistakes here before a piece of accidental off-side hands the hosts a scrum just inside the Cheetahs half.
63 It proves a very bad move those as the scrum goes down and Salesi Manu is penalised, allowing the Cheetahs to clear!
62 The Force are handed a chance to hit back straight away as they concede a penalty in the middle of their 22 and strangely Pocock calls for a scrum rather than going for posts.
60 PENALTY, CHEETAHS, EBERSOHN 17-13. He's missed some easier kicks tonight but the number ten makes no mistake this time!
60 Some scrappy play sees the Froce boot the ball down to Jacobs in the Cheetahs 22 and the winger does well to run it back strongly. Some lazy running and back-chat from the Force means that Ebersohn has a penalty attempt just inside the Force half.
57 The Cheetahs are using the width of the field a lot better now and they move the ball around well before four men watch as a wayward pass goes into touch.
54 TRY, CHEETAHS, STRAUSS 14-13. It's a Cheetahs scrum five out and Ebersohn does well as he takes at first receiver. The forwards bash it up and then they bring it wide. For a second it looks like Daniller is going to make the same mistake Snyman did and not take it all the way out but he does and the captain Strauss goes over! Ebersohn can't add the extras.
52 Off side at the ruck and the Cheetahs take another quick tap, they're determined to make the most of this chance. The ball goes wide to Philip Snyman who is taken over the line but has he got it over? The TMO will tell us. It's held up. That shouldn't have happened though, there where men out wide and Snyman should have moved it on.
51 The jumper is clearly taken out in the air and referee Berry gives the Force a final warning for foul play as the Cheetahs press on.
50 The Cheetahs engineer a turnover though and the ball is hacked ahead. Harvey is ruled to have obstructed the Cheetahs chasers and Ebersohn sets up a line-out on the Force line.
49 The restart is adjudged not to have gone the 10 metres and the Force get a scrum. Sheehan grubbers it into the Cheetahs 22 and the home side look to run it out. Van Zyl looks to clear from the base but it's charged down, the Cheetahs knock it on and there is a scrum to the Force.
47 CONVERSION, FORCE, HARVEY 13-6. From in front, Harvey adds two more.
46 TRY, FORCE, STANLEY 11-6. And they make the most of it! Hennie Daniller looks to clear but his kick is charged down and Benson Stanley picks up and trots over the line.
46 Harvey follows it up with another boot for territory and it's now the Cheetahs who are back in their 22.
45 Ebersohn does well to kick into the corners and keep the Force pegged back in their half. It nearly pays dividends but they conceded a penalty at ruck time and Harvey almost clears out of the Force half.
41 The Cheetahs have made a host of changes at the break, with Ashley Johnson, Piet van Zyl and it looks like Philip Snyman coming on.
And we're back Ebersohn gets the second half underway!
Half time The half time whistle goes as Nalaga is tackled into touch. That's the end of the first forty which has been a bit of a battle of attrition.
39 The Force get some momentum at last and Napolioni Nalaga breaks through the middle. They spread it wide and Samu Wara goes over in the far touchline! There is a report of foul play though and they go back for an earlier penalty as Salesi Ma'afu was applying a bit of a choke-hold on one of the players on the deck. Not sure it would have impacted on the try but the assistant ref says it did.
38 PENALTY, CHEETAHS, DE BRUYN 9-6. It's actually the number nine de Bruyn who takes the kick because Sias Ebersohn has picked up an injury. He's ok to continue though.
37 Better play from the Cheetahs as the backs find some space and move the ball through the hands well, working the angles. The Force are penalised at a ruck in front of the posts deep in the 22m and Ebersohn has a chance to put the hosts back in front.
34 PENALTY, FORCE, HARVEY 6-6. They don't execute it too well though as they look to run from the 22 and concede a penalty for holding on. Harvey knocks it over from in front.
33 The Force at last look to get their backs moving but Andries Strauss comes out of the line and makes a big hit in the midfield to slow things down. Harvey hammers the ball down field, too far though, it's a 22 and the Cheetahs look to attack.
30 The Force are penalised at scrum time for scrumming in at an angle but they won't be too upset though as they demolished the Cheetahs front row even if it wasn't totally legal.
28 This certainly isn't picture perfect rugby as both sides battle to find some flow.
26 It's messy from the Cheetahs and they knock it on only to be handed posession back when an awful up an under from Sheehan sees all his players off-side. A good effort from about 50m out from Ebersohn but it's just to the left.
23 Robert Ebersohn does really well to take advantage of a good tackle from Andries Strauss as he's able to contest at the breakdown and win the penalty. Line-out on the Force 22m.
22 Good work from the Cheetahs tight five but Heinrich Brussow is isolated as he goes on the drive and Pocock is on his feet and wins the penalty.
21 The Force are giving away far too many penalties as they allow the hosts to get back into Force territory as Pocock is pinged for entering a ruck from the side.
19 PENALTY, CHEETAHS, S EBERSOHN 6-3. The fly-half makes no mistake.
19 The Cheetahs backs and forwards combine well and it looks like George Earle is about to concede possession as he falls badly in the tackle but they go back for an early off-side.
17 After a scrappy maul the Force are penalised for coming in from the side of the maul. Ebersohn sets up a line-out on the 22.
16 The Force work the ball up from the restart and after Sheehan makes a bit of a mess at the breakdown he's pinged for holding on and the Cheetahs set up a line-out just inside the Force half.
13 PENALTY, CHEETAHS, S EBERSOHN 3-3. From almost the exact spot he missed from last week, the number ten strokes this one over.
13 The Cheetahs pick and go really well, making good ground before spreading the ball wide. They bring it back well before Sias Ebersohn breaks through the middle. Pat Cummins is penalised for hands in the ruck and the Cheetahs have a penalty right in front.
11 A bit of aerial ping-pong and the result is we're pretty much back to where we started two minutes, with a Cheetahs line-out.
9 Mafi clears from the kick off and he puts in a great touch finder, pushing the Cheetahs back 20 metres into their own half.
9 PENALTY, FORCE, HARVEY 3-0. Coenie Oosthuizen is penalised for a silly bit of hands in the ruck and Harvey makes him pay.
7 Harvey kicks straight into touch as the Force struggle to make ground in the middle of the park. The Force turn it over and it's spread wide, Samu Wara grubbers it down the touchline but it's too far and Jacobs dots down in goal.
5 A big up and under is knocked on by winger Cameron Jacobs and the Force have a scrum on the Cheetahs 10m line.
4 Sias Ebersohn looks to bury the memory of that miss from straight in front last week with an attempt from ten metres in but he hits the post and the Force clear deep into the Cheetahs half.
2 Great start from the Cheetahs as Justin Downey breaks down the middle. The hosts work the ball into the Force 22 and are awarded a penalty as the men in blue don't roll away.
Kick-off David Harvey gets us underway.
Ready to go The players have made their way out onto the field and we're ready to get underway.
Debut We have a debut of a different kind tonight, with referee Stuart Berry taking charge of his first Super Rugby game.
Trying times For a moment this week it looked like there was some sunlight on the horizon for the Force as the Reds announced Wallaby number nine Will Genia was heading to Perth. The moment of happiness was short lived though, with the scrum-half backtracking and signing a new deal with the Reds. This comes in a season when the Force lost coach Richard Graham a handful of weeks ago after he announced he was joining the Reds next season.
Big loss The men from Bloemfontein will be without star fly-half Johan Goosen who has been ruled out of action for four months due to a shoulder injury.
Bouncing back The Cheetahs suffered an agonising three-point defeat at the hands of the Highlanders last time out and will be looking to erase some of the pain from that loss with a strong showing against the men from Perth.
Welcome Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Super Rugby clash between the Cheetahs and the Western Force.

I can't build up the courage to talk to a girl at all.
I'm 18, play college football(Linebacker), I train with pro bodybuilders and NFL players so I am cut all over,I've been told on numerous occasions... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It seems like your insecurity from your past experiences with girls stop you from getting what you want.
Remind yourself that your a goodlooking guy and that any girl would be lucky to have you.
You gotta have that mentally or a girl isn't going to see you as a prize.
+1 I strongly agree.
And as for advice to talk to girls,as silly as this will sound,try practicing in a mirror,it helps.When approaching the girl smile,relax,and try to be a good listener.If you appear to be nervous,you might come off as creepy to some,but if the girl is worth it,she will give you a chance :)
See the thing is.....i know its the insecurity thing but I just go numb at the thought....i mean had sum really epic bad rejections, like the kinds you see in comedy movies.....
I tried that and got caught by my roommate...next day he put me on blast
What Girls Said 1
be confident in your shy and nervousness. I know this sounds ridiculous but don't go out of your way to be someone you are not. Take bobair advice with a grain of salt because it is good to get experience talking with ppl/girls in general. it will up your confidence to talk with girls you actually like and it prob will help with the talking to much thing. When your talking to a girl and your nervous and stumble just accept it for what it is. everyone gets nervous just some people show it more. don't apologize for it or beat yourself up about it. The right girl who likes the humble, down to earth type of guy will actually think its cute.
What Guys Said 2
You just described every guy in highschool. You're not a unique snowflake.
I'm going to tell you EXACTLY what your problem is, but like every other guy on here you're going to deny or ignore this advice.
Your problem is your ego.
You're like a fat guy who's over weight but who can't seem to understand that his over eating is causing his weight gain.
Being shy, or nervous about rejection, comes from your ego. Don't believe me? Read anything by Eckhart Tolle ( link )
When you are able to let go of your ego, you stop worrying about rejection simply because you're not letting others dictate your value. As you mature and experience the world enough you'll start dictating your own value, instead of upon the approval of others.
Many guys base their self worth entirely upon the approval of others. Super models suffer from this because their identity is based upon the perceptions of others. Body builders have this same problem. They work out desperately needing to be judged against others.
The deep fear is that you're not good enough.
But as you learn to build your own self esteem you'll stop needing the approval of others, and therefore you will no longer need her to say "yes" to your date proposal. Instead you'll be more focused on having fun with her, based on your curiosity of who she IS, instead of focused on "am I good enough for her."
Remember, you're a great guy who's looking to meet a girl who's good enough to keep your attention... NOT the other way around. You already know how great you'll treat your woman, and now you need to meet one worthy of your time.

P.S. A great way to practice your social muscles is to force yourself to chat with every person you meet through out your day. Your job isn't to make these people like you, or to get phone numbers. It's simply to practice and learn that art of small talk.
Chat with the fat girl in line with you at the grocery store. Chat with your hot waitress. Chat with the old guy who's sitting next to you in the mall food court.
Learn to chat with EVERYONE and you will have NO PROBLEM chatting up the hot chick you just met on the bus.
I don't even have an ego when it comes to football....i was raised to be humble and that's what I live by....and I kinda figured it would come down to me forcing my self to chat with other people....
- Show Older Hide Older
Thats deep
P.S. The part of you that keeps talking out of nervousness is that part of you that can't handle the "tension" of chatting with a new girl. Attraction IS tension. She might hate you, or love you, but it all comes from tension in her body.
If you laugh nervously, or you become overly talkative then you're releasing the tension, but you're also lessening her chance to feel attraction.
Do your best to stop the diarrhea mouth. ;)
Instead of laughing or talking, try smiling instead?

Yeah, that's less common. Most kids figure it out well before that age and I don't think any of us were traumatised. Kids break down crying all the time, but a few hours later they're fine. Anyway, it's your job as a parent to prepare your kids for life--heartbreak and disappointment are part and parcel!
I'm torn on the issue myself, not sure if I would tell my kids he was real. I remember when my cousin decided to tell her daughter he wasn't real when she was nine and she broke down crying. Kids naturally trust us and believe what we tell them, it seems cruel to make them believe in such a wonderful thing and then break their hearts a few years later. Then again maybe you don't have to tell them at all, at some point they usually figure it out themselves.

It is obvious that the larger the outsider, you are able to find as a winner of the upcoming Wimbledon tournament, the higher the odds you get and thereby also bigger winnings.
But there seems to be good reasons to narrow the search for a winner down to the field of the top four in the world.
One reason is that today's best four players in the men's rankings, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Roger Federer and Andy Murray simply seem a class above the rest of the field at the moment.
It was these four who reached the semifinals at the French Open, and none of them are worse on grass. On the contrary when it comes to Murray and Federer.
That they are the best is also reflected in the fact that they have shared the past several Grand Slams between them. And that's only three of them, since Andy Murray has never won a Slam. But the last six winners of the Australian Open have been called either Nadal, Federer or Djokovic.
The last seven winners of the French Open have been called either Nadal or Federer. The last eight winners of Wimbledon equally, and the two giants have also taken six of the last seven U.S. Open titles.
nly Juan Martin Del Potro has broken the streak, and he is not strong enough at present on grass to take a Wimbledon trophy.
Another reason is found in the more statistical department, which doesn't make it less useful though. 13 of the last 14 Wimbledon tournaments have been won by a player from the top four.
Only Goran Ivanisevic has been able to break this streak, when in 2001 he swept away all opponents as useeded. This kind of miracle is of course difficult to guard yourself against, but I find it very hard to see who could pull off a feat like that this year, so I'll stick to the top four.
Should we throw money after all four? It is actually possible with the available odds to bet all four and get out with profits. But of course you get more out of it, the more you can narrow your search down, but who should we look away from?
Andy Murray still has his first Grand Slam title waiting, but now he has been in three finals, losing each very clearly which seem to have given him a bit more humble approach to his tennis.
He has had an amazingly good clay court season, which must have given him enormous confidence, and he won the grass tournament in Queens, during which he among other wins totally nailed Andy Roddick. Since he also has the best winning odds of the four, he stays in our field.
Roger Federer reached somewhat surprisingly the final of the French Open, and can he take some of his game from Paris to London, he will be awesome.
He is the world's best grass player, and chasing Pete Sampras' seven titles. He might argue that this does not mean anything, but he is an ambitious man who still loves to win. He gets the chance to rule once again.
Novak Djokovic was up until the French Open the undisputed best player of the season. He has swept all opposition aside and can smell Rafael Nadal's first place on the rankings.
Djokovic has stated that the biggest goal of the season is to win Wimbledon. If that statement has some truth to it, he can be scary to deal with, so he
also gets a stake from us.
That leaves us with Rafael Nadal. He has just won the French Open, and is a defending champion from 2010 when he won the title in convincing style against Tomas Berdych.
However he had to work exceptionally hard for his title in Paris, where he simply wasn't on top of his game, which he also stated himself along the way. That he won anyway speaks volumes about his skills and psyche, but the victory may have drained the mental drawer a little bit too much to also win Wimbledon against a pack of so fierce opponents.
Andy Murray gave the Spaniard extremely tough battles a couple of times on clay, and is an even better grass player, while Nadal couldn't handle Djokovic in their previous meetings this year on any surface.
Therefore, I will leave Nadal for now and focus my stakes on the three other players.
