also available in a 200 or 300 flavor. Road legal in most of the world... not in the good ol' USofA. Some were marketed in the states as XC as opposed to EC but they are, aside from very minor differences (such as the size of the flywheel and some of the wiring), the same bike.
From my owners manual:

That's a wide enough spread for my needs. the motor could pull taller gearing from the bottom but I never feel the need at the top.

Re: Let me put it even simpler
Have you ever have a BB? I do, and honestly it is good to have your friends at hand with just one BBM, BUT all over, it just don't worth it, people wh still have BB is because of their contacts, YES now with the BBM spread out to the others platforms some might keep their BB and stay loyal as you say, but reality, if you could switch from a Z10 or a HTC one, what would you choose?

Press for CyPhy Works
Startup CyPhy Works Inc., a maker of small unmanned flying robots to be used for infrastructure inspections, has raised $1.2 million in a new round of funding, according to federal documents.
If there's such a thing as an "off season'' in the region's innovation economy, it transpired this past week. Out-going voice mail messages suggested getting in touch via e-mail, and e-mails generated an automatic "Out of Office'' reply. But there's no better time than the off-season to analyze individual players, and the long stretch of games ahead. Here's my take on the people, companies, and technologies that will be making news in 2011.
This is ordinarily a busy month for conferences, schmooze-fests, and seminars. But cramming the calendar even more this year are two new mega-events: FutureM Boston (starting today) and Boston Region Entrepreneurship Week (starting Oct. 13). One will spotlight Boston-area companies helping to shape the future of marketing, and the other is planned as a celebration of "the entrepreneurial spirit.'' With the focus on creating companies and propagating big ideas, it seemed like the right time to assemble a list of some of the area's most innovative people. The criteria were simple: smart people who are working on important projects at companies of any size, or who support entrepreneurship in essential ways.

Fiesta vs Clio: 1.0-litre hatch battle
Hammond loved his 3cyl Ford, but can it beat the tiny-engined Renault on British roads?
Posted: 15 Jun 2015
But you know what? The Clio RS, or the Fiesta ST, or, say, a 911 or an Aventador or a Veyron or anything with triple-figure horsepower - they're great and all, but not one of them is faster than either of these buzzy little litre-cars on your favourite rural road as you chase every last grain of grip and sliver of horsepower. Speed isn't a number, man. It's a state of mind.

Linux Mint 11 review
Linux Mint 11 is the latest release of Linux Mint, a desktop distribution based on Ubuntu Desktop. This is different from Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE), a version of Linux Mint based on Debian. (See a review of LMDE.)
The Linux Mint project makes different installation images for the major desktop environments, and this article presents a detailed review of the GNOME version, the main version.
Installer and Installation Process: Like previous releases, Linux Mint 11 is available as a Live CD/DVD ISO image for 32- and 64-bit platforms. The boot menu allows you to boot into the Live desktop or to boot from the local disk, and installation can be started only from the Live desktop. The difference between the installer and the installation process on Linux Mint 11 and previous editions is only cosmetic and is shown in this screenshot. On previous edition's installer, the third option at this step is "Specify partitions manually (Advanced)" instead of "Something else," and the options were shown as an unordered list, sans icons, aligned to the left, rather than what you see here.
It seems that with every release, Ubuntu (the Mint and Ubuntu installers are the same) makes minor cosmetic changes to the installer that adds no real value to it. I am still looking forward to when full disk encryption and point-and-click LVM configuration will be supported.
Though the installer does not support disk encryption, it does offer the option to encrypt your home directory. While this has the appearance of offering a good physical security protection, it does not offer the same level of protection as full disk encryption. Full disk encryption is one of several physical security features that I have consistently recommended and supported. Why do I consider it very important? I have stated the reasons here, and the folks at the Electronic Frontier Foundation agree. They consider it so important that they have a Call To Action to "force" Ubuntu installer developers to bring full disk encryption to their Live Desktop edition.
The journaling file systems supported are ext3, ext4, xfs, jfs, reiserfs and btrfs, with ext4 as the default. Installing Linux Mint 11 on a btrfs file system is a very simple process (see how to install Linux Mint 11 on a btrfs file system), but I found that if btrfs is used for the boot partition, as the system boots, it will spew the error message shown in the image below. This "sparse file error" is a known bug, and the "Press any key to continue" line is immaterial because the system will continue booting after about 42 seconds, even if you do not press any key.
The installer has an automated disk partitioning mode, and also an advanced partitioning tool for those who would rather configure a custom set of partitions. While it is a point-and-click tool, the advanced partitioning tool (shown below) does require a fundamental knowledge of disk partitions and disk partitioning in Linux. If you interested in setting up partitions manually, manual disk partitioning guide for Linux Mint 11 is a good place to start. A weakness of the automated disk partitioner is that it is unable to choose free space on the hard disk for partitioning, so if you want to install it (Linux Mint 11) on what is considered free space, you will have to use the advanced partitioning tool.
Desktop: Before it was released, I think we all knew that Linux Mint 11 was not going to follow Ubuntu into the land of Unity desktop, and so it is. What we have on Linux Mint 11 is the very familiar GNOME 2 desktop environment, cloaked in a different wallpaper, which, I think, has one too many logos on it. The logo on the left is a very bad idea, and should not have been there. I understand that this is just a logo on a desktop's wallpaper, which can be changed in about three mouse clicks, but bad decisions like that tend to manifest in other areas, too. Aside from one too many logos on the desktop, there is virtually no contrast between the desktop's background color and window colors. By the way, the logo on the right is very good.
On a new installation of Linux Mint, the first configuration change I always make it to add the Workspace Switcher to the panel (why is it not there by default?), then enable CompizFusion, the 3D compositing window manager. I found that the desktop freezes and switching between workspaces becomes impossible. The only option was to disable CompizFusion, which meant loss of functionality. It also meant that I am not going to upgrade a desktop computer running Linux Mint 10 at a non-profit group where I volunteer my services. Kids there love to play with "wobbly" windows and other Compiz effects and I am not about to disappoint them.
A favorite feature of the Linux Mint desktop is the menu (mintMenu). But there are a couple of issues with it. These are not new issues, but nothing has been done about them. The first is a minor issue (there is an easy fix for it), but it plays a role in the second issue: The menu offers a tooltip description when you mouse over an item, and when the Applications column is visible, each entry also features the same description in the tooltip, a totally unnecessary duplication.
The second issue is that the menu takes up too much desktop real estate (close to 60%), and it takes up even more if the "Recent Documents" column is enabled. I think the width of the menu can be reduced without a negative impact on it by an amount equal to the sum of the length of the red horizontal bars in this image. And the width can be reduced further if the entries in the "Recent Documents" column are aligned to the left.

Thanks for the laugh. It's funny to read your suggestions on design issues when the website is so chock full of ads, one of which is a video that defaults to audio on, that it interferes with enjoyment of the review. Design critique on a web page that showcases bad design choices just creates another obstacle to establishing your credibility.
The review is about two pages too long. You make some interesting points on the third page. By the time the reader gets that far, they'll be too bored to read it after wading through over a page of material that could have been summarized in a few sentences. That is if the reader makes it that far. The page links are hidden between two ads.
Your comments also continue for too long…is that ironic or merely coincidence?
I'll lie and say the length was intentional. Actually I'm a wordy sob.
I am student at Fergusson college, Pune, India..
I am a computer science student, I want to know the special features which attract the new programmers towards Mint 11.
I heard that mp3 format and some others movie players which are supported by windows are also supported by MINT 11 by default, no need to download the codecs for them.
Is this true ?…
Please mail me the answers…
I've just tried Linux Mint 11. During the installation, replacing the Windows XP loader with GRUB seems mandatory in order to make a dual-boot system between Windows XP and Linux Mint. But, I prefer to let the NT loader intact and use it to boot Linux Mint 11. Sadly, this technique isn't applicable to Linux Mint 11 but for other distros, it is possible. So, I decided to dumped Linux Mint 11 and used opensuse 11.4 instead. Unlike Linux Mint 11, opensuse has the option to restore the master boot record. Also, I was able to dual-boot Windows XP and opensuse by using the NT loader instead of GRUB and it worked. I didn't used any third-party software like GRUB4DOS to accomplish this. I simply copied the opensuse's GRUB boot loader to a file using the "dd" command and then created an entry for it in the boot.ini file of Windows XP. After restoring the master boot record and rebooting the machine, The Windows XP boot loader remained intact and I successfully booted opensuse 11.4 from it.
For me, opensuse 11.4 will always be my first choice and it will continue to improve. I've found it a lot better than Linux Mint. The DVD installer of opensuse is indeed very handy unlike the one from Linux Mint.
After removing Ubuntu 11.04 (Nutty Nowhere) Romper Room Edition, I tried Linux Mint Debian Edition. Very nice indeed. It's a keeper for the laptops. And better yet a truly community driven non corporate funded win/mac wannabe desktop dictatorship.
A winning combo for linux desktop users and open computing enthusiasts in general. A big 10 to Linux Mint for LMDE.
Can You arrange windows vertically in Mint 11? I couldn´t do this in Mint 10 and it was a turn-off. I mean this can be done in XP (or even Win95) via right-click options at the taskbar.
Yes you can by using X-tile. http://www.giuspen.com/x-tile/
I agree that the usefulness of the overlay scrollbar is questionable, although it only takes a little bit of use to become comfortable with it, and it does indeed "de-clutter" the window. It can be tricky to get your pointer exactly where it needs to be. However, if you read the release notes, it is simple to revert to the old-style scrollbar, so it shouldn't be a deal-killer.
http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_katya.php Overlay scrollbars:
"Linux Mint 11 inherits the newly introduced "overlay scrollbars". If you would like to use traditional scrollbars instead, you can deactivate them by removing the "overlay-scrollbar" and "liboverlay-scrollbar-0.1-0″ packages and by restarting your computer."
You state: "I understand that this is just a logo on a desktop's wallpaper, which can be changed in about three mouse clicks, but bad decisions like that tend to manifest in other areas, too." This is a rather odd and vague sort of general condemnation of a release. Besides, as you say, it is just wallpaper (which is really just a matter of taste rather than a bad decision). One could point out that the image on the left is a logo while the image to the right is stylized text which names the distribution and its version number.
Later you write: "From personal experience, the April release of Ubuntu, and, therefore, of Linux Mint, tends to be less stable than the October release. And Linux Mint 11 feels decided less stable than Linux Mint 10. If the trend holds, Linux Mint 12 will be a lot more stable than this release."
I think it's rather early to be speculating about Mint 12's relative "stability" even by the rather subjective criteria you employ for such things. Mint 11 has been my main OS since it was in Release Candidate status, and I have encountered no "stability" issues. The Mint developers should be applauded for not jumping on the "anything-for-a-change-let's-all-be-smartphones" bandwagon. Weeding out all of that useless new code from the Ubuntu base is bound to cause a hiccup here and there, but the overall system is much more productive and useful.
In spite of some of your positive statements, it's difficult to determine whether or not you really like Linux Mint. Most reviews of Mint are really just boring rehashes of the release notes, and it is refreshing to read some actual criticism in your article. However, I think it would be better for you to simply stick to the facts rather than tossing in bits of baseless speculation from time to time, and it would also be good to make distinctions between what doesn't suit your personal taste and what are "bad" decisions.
Finally, I guess there can be a distinction made between a "review" (like a movie review) and a more rational evaluation.

It actually makes sense, considering the Unity interface. I know *I* did not play with Ubuntu 11.04 as much as I did with earlier releases, because it was simply *too* much work to try to work around Unity. I suspect that Unity prompted a lot of people to skip this release that might have otherwise tried it and posted bug reports. Do therefore a lot of bugs slipped through this time.
Let's remember that what's true for Ubuntu is not NECESSARILY true for Linux Mint. That's especially true in this case since Mint does not even include the Unity desktop. I downloaded Ubuntu with Unity, and it won't even run Unity until I install it and upgrade to the proprietary ATI driver. Now, really, do we want a system that needs to have 3D hardware acceleration just to run the desktop environment?
Linux Mint is a great Gnome distro. But who does still use Gnome when there is KDE?
I'll run Gnome 3.2 until it refuses to run Firefox and Nautilus!!! 😉
It seems that Gnome's theme is particularly ugly.
Did you know you could change this?

Superior Estates WineryRead MoreWinery owners Randy, Kelly, and Nate Meyer are so passionate about winemaking that they've designed their entire vineyard to symbolize it—each phase of the buildings' architecture reflects a different step in the winemaking process. A planter crafted from locally harvested limestone marks the entrance to the winery and supports arbors symbolizing trellised grape bushes in the vineyards. The arbors extend through the earth-toned Chancellor Hall, where a towering cathedral ceiling laced with heavy beams can shelter more than 200 guests at once. Inside, light streams in through towering windows overlooking the vineyard, as well as through heavy double doors leading out to a patio and courtyard, where the same arbor continues to form a roof and shield wines from straw-wielding helicopter pilots. Outside, 16 acres of vineyards house rows of Midwest varietals such as Vignoles, St. Vincent, Frontenac, and Catawba. Staffers pluck vines entwined on trellised rows and carry their bushels into a processing building, where they unload pounds of fruit into imported presses and custom-made fermentation tanks. These grapes age into wines in a room designed in the shape of a barrel, which represents the winemaking and fermentation process as well as the winemakers' fear of being trapped inside a barrel. The Meyers also use the wines in these barrels to reflect their love for the region; they've named many of the dry and semidry wines for weather phenomena associated with Tornado Alley.200 W 15th StSuperior, NE US

Jazzercise NationalRead MoreToday, it's undeniable: Jazzercise is a worldwide empire, spanning more than 1,800 locations and 32,000 weekly classes across the globe. It's also hip; gone are the leotards and legwarmers of the 1980s, replaced with a high-intensity blend of cardio, strength training, kickboxing and power yoga performed to hits by chart-toppers from Shakira to Justin Timberlake. The class formats, which vary according to different toning goals, are just as diverse as the program's move set, with recent additions such as Fusion, Core, and Strike broadening the workouts' variety and application. Instructors cultivate a noncompetitive atmosphere where all exercisers are welcome regardless of age, build, or fitness background. This sense of community keeps Jazzercise devotees coming back, but so too do the results; benefits ranging from weight loss and boosted core strength to increased flexibility and stress relief. Jazzercise's continued success can be traced to the innovation of its founder, Judi Sheppard Missett. While teaching jazz dance in the 1960s, she decided to step away from tradition by offering an experimental class that allowed her students to simply dance without the judgment of mirrors or the constraints of rigid technique. Little did she know that this ?just for fun? class was the prototype for what would become the Jazzercise sensation.209 S 16th StAurora, NE US

Guests can savor the cherry flavor of the Frontenac grapes found in the above-mentioned Mac's Lantern or sip on other varieties—such as the light-bodied 2010 Spring Mist—in the spacious tasting room or on the sun-drenched lawn. On weekends, they can enjoy a prairie bistro lunch from 12-4p.m., and on Friday evenings from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m., they can toast to live entertainment or dramatic readings of the wine list.43315 Road 757Lexington, NE US

Yaris Hybrid thrives in a jam
Posted: November 20, 2012|
THE British are passionate about queues, according to research from Onepoll.com. I passionately hate them.
And so it is with a sinking feeling that I find myself in yet another claustrophobic traffic jam. But hang on a minute, it's a much more positive experience because I'm driving a Toyota Yaris Hybrid and it thrives in such situations. In fact it is possible to travel up to two miles at 30mph on its electric motor thus conserving expensive petrol.
The times I sit in mile-long tailbacks either frustrated that the engine is using so much fuel while it ticks over or wondering whether the auto stop/start will actually kick in.
The Yaris Hybrid is a joy because, as long as the driver is light with the right foot and the motor is sufficiently charged, it will automatically crawl along in ev (electric vehicle) mode. If it doesn't then there is an ev switch. Either way progress is similar to the sound and pace of a milk float. Woe betide the impatient motorist because apply too much pressure on the accelerator and it'll start guzzling fuel.
There's a similar temptation when other irritated motorists are forced to form an orderly queue behind as the driver nurses the little hybrid on its way. But when the traffic is slow, the Yaris Hybrid comes into its own.
Normal driving results in the engine charging the motor back up in time to be used in another queue.
I would be happier if this hybrid technology was coupled to a more efficient diesel engine as it consumes too much petrol for my liking, really only allowing around 350 miles of travel on a full tank.
The tank is 36 litres or 7.9 gallons (compared to 42 litres in a standard Yaris, to make room for the hybrid battery) and during my test it has averaged 44mpg. This makes it much more appropriate for pottering around town than motorway munching.
But it does have an excellent cruise control that can be used at speeds of 26mph and above as well as with ev mode. It can be set at 30mph and no matter whether travelling downhill or up it will stick rigidly to this speed, which is particularly helpful when a speed camera is present.
A unique interior is made all the more so by what appears to be a light turquoise woodchip wallpaper effect on the dashboard and door inserts. It is actually a fabric but at a quick glance looks very much like wallpaper.
It is equipped with a good level of features including all round electric windows, air conditioning, sat-nav and a CD player.

DATE & TIME: Saturday, October 6, 7:00 p.m. (et).
FACTS & STATS: Site: Hughes Stadium (32,500) -- Fort Collins, Colorado. Television: Local. Home Record: FSU 3-0, CSU 0-2. Away Record: FSU 0-2, CSU 0-2. Neutral Record: FSU 0-0, CSU 1-0. Conference Record: FSU 1-0, CSU 0-1. Series Record: Colorado State leads, 7-5.
GAME NOTES: The Fresno State Bulldogs hope the days of alternating wins and losses are behind them, as they clash with the Colorado State Rams in Mountain West Conference action this weekend at Hughes Stadium in Fort Collins.
Under new head coach Tim DeRuyter, the Bulldogs have had a bit of trouble with consistency from week to week, but on a positive note, they are a game above .500 at the moment.
Last Saturday night, Fresno State put together yet another high-powered effort and managed to come away with a 52-40 triumph over San Diego State in the MWC opener. In the last three games the Bulldogs have produced a total of 157 points, boosting their scoring average to 41.8 ppg (16th nationally) thanks to the efforts of quarterback Derek Carr who had the game of his life.
As for the Rams, they continue to have outings that, unlike Carr, they would much rather forget and last week was no different. Since starting out 2012 with a momentous 22-17 victory over Colorado in Denver, it has been all downhill for the Rams who are currently suffering a four-game slide. Last week the team gave up a season-high 42 points as the Air Force Falcons doubled-up on CSU.
In the first quarter this season, the Rams have been outscored by a margin of 61-10, so even if they are able to gather themselves and get on a roll, it is often too late.
According to FSU records, the Rams lead the series by a count of 7-5, although Colorado State records do not include a meeting that the Bulldogs have listed from 1940 that went in favor of CSU, 28-0. Colorado State won a 40-35 decision in the most recent meeting in the New Mexico Bowl back in 2008.
Carr was named the MWC Offensive Player of the Week on Monday, and for very good reason, after throwing for a staggering 536 yards and five touchdowns in the victory over SDSU. Carr, who did have a couple of passes picked off and returned for touchdowns, overcame those mistakes by completing 42-of-56 as he notched the fourth 500-yard passing game in FSU history.
The signal-caller tied the school's single-game mark for passing yards with the help of Rashad Evans, Josh Harper and Davante Adams who all registered at least 100 receiving yards and combined for four scores. Also lending a hand in the scoring column was Ronnie Rouse with a pair of rushing scores.
Defensively, the Bulldogs benefited from five sacks and three interceptions of SDSU's Ryan Katz. Phillip Thomas, now with five picks this season, had two versus the Aztecs, while Andy Jennings registered two sacks and three tackles for loss, to go along with two forced fumbles which was more than enough to earn him MWC Defensive Player of the Week honors.
Because of the efforts of Jennings, the Bulldogs are first in the league and 13th nationally with 3.2 sacks per game, their 7.0 TLFs placing second in the conference and tied for 28th in the country. Thomas and his cohorts have cornered the market on turnovers, leading the league and coming in seventh nationally with a plus-1.60 per game.
Colorado State's offensive line has been trying to get on track for a number of years now and appeared to have taken a step in the right direction last week when it allowed just one sack, but that was against an Air Force group that is one of the weakest teams in the country in that department.
Unfortunately for the Rams, having starting quarterback Garrett Grayson out indefinitely with a clavicle injury, it means M.J. McPeek is being thrown to the wolves or, more specifically, the Bulldogs this weekend.
McPeek did have a decent outing against Air Force, converting 22-of-34 passes for 292 yards and two touchdowns, with two interceptions and a sack, but that all came against a defense that is not none for applying pressure at the line of scrimmage. In order to keep from being blown out this time around, the running game for the Rams will have to be far more productive than it was versus the Falcons when it gained just 129 net yards and a score on 34 attempts.
Obviously, the Rams couldn't afford to run the ball against the Academy while playing catch-up, but it is something the team will have to consider if it doesn't want to be working its way down the depth chart looking for another able body to play quarterback.
If there is a positive for the Rams stemming from their current stats, it is the pass defense which is giving up 208.0 ypg, but if the team fails to get a strong push at the line of scrimmage, that number will surely be inflated once Carr gets through with them.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Fresno State 41, Colorado State 24

Geoengineering could stop global warming but carries big risks
Rhett A. Butler, mongabay.com
June 4, 2007
Using computer simulations to model the impact of proposed experiments using a solar filter to block sunlight instead of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, an international team of scientists conclude that geoengineering a risky strategy.
"Given current political and economic trends, it is easy to become pessimistic about the prospect that needed cuts in carbon dioxide emissions will come soon enough or be deep enough to avoid irreversibly damaging our climate," said co-author Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution's Department of Global Ecology. "If we want to consider more dramatic options, such as deliberately altering the Earth's climate, it's important to understand how these strategies might play out."
Photo by Rhett A. Butler
The PNAS study shows that geoengineering schemes, even under a scenario of increasing emissions, could cool Earth within a few decades to pre-Industrial Revolution levels, but that failure of the system would result in "a catastrophic, decade-long spike in global temperatures... with rates of warming 20 times greater than we are experiencing today" as carbon sequestered in plants and soils would be quickly released into the atmosphere."
"If we become addicted to a planetary sunshade, we could experience a painful withdrawal if our fix was suddenly cut off," said Caldeira. "This needs to be taken into consideration if we ever think seriously about implementing a geoengineering strategy."
Caldeira and lead author Damon Matthews of Concordia University in Montreal say that their models also show geoengineering would affect global rainfall patterns, with lower levels of precipitation over tropical forests. In their models run with no simulated geoengineering, warmer temperatures resulted in more rainfall over the oceans and less over tropical forests
"Many people argue that we need to prevent climate change. Others argue that we need to keep emitting greenhouse gases," Caldeira said. "Geoengineering schemes have been proposed as a cheap fix that could let us have our cake and eat it, too. But geoengineering schemes are not well understood. Our study shows that planet-sized geoengineering means planet-sized risks."
Caldeira said that proposed geoengineering schemes need to be better understood before they are implemented but that the quick-acting nature of the projects mean that can put off geoengineering decisions until they become absolutely necessary.
"I hope I never need a parachute, but if my plane is going down in flames, I sure hope I have a parachute handy," Caldeira said. "I hope we'll never need geoengineering schemes, but if a climate catastrophe occurs, I sure hope we will have thought through our options carefully."

T K Devasia (Kerala Buzz) / 23 November 2012
After its plea for a scheme to rehabilitate the Non-Resident Keralites (NRKs) returning to their home state after several years of toil abroad not receiving any favourable response from the federal government, the state is veering around to the view that the NRKs and their families themselves should take care of their future.
The Non-Resident Keralites Affairs (Norka) department of the government thinks the NRKs can secure their post-return life only if they save part of their earnings and invest them in remunerative areas. Its field agency, Norka-Roots, has joined hands with Dubai-based Pravasi Bandhu Welfare Trust (PBWD) to spread this message.
Over 150 family members, mostly wives, of the NRKs vowed to save at least 20 per cent of the remittance they receive from abroad after they were explained how the savings can make a difference in their life in three workshops conducted by the PBWD in the capital district recently.
Majority of them have been spending whatever they were getting. They said the money they get every month was sufficient to meet only the household needs. However, when they were told about areas where they can cut expenditure without affecting the quality of the life, many of them agreed that they can indeed save some for the future.
Impressed by the response of the family members, Norka-Roots chief executive officer Noel Thomas said they will examine possibility of conducting such financial education workshops throughout the state in association with the local bodies. The company will also consider methods to help the families start micro enterprises with the savings they make.
PBWD chairman K V Shamusheen, who has conducted over 270 such workshops across Middle East in the past one decade, said financial education was found effective in bringing about financial discipline and cultivating a habit of saving among expatriates.
A study by Georgetown University School of Foreign Service in Qatar (SFS-Q) showed that the programme offered to a group of married migrant workers whose wives remained behind in India, led to substantial changes in the migrant financial practices and savings goals.
The university arrived at the conclusion after evaluating the financial practices of about 100 expatriates, who attended the programme at Qatar, and their families in India. The evaluation was done a year after the expatriates attended the programme.
Shamsudheen said he had decided to extend the programme to the families of the migrants since they are handling the remittances.
He said most of the family members of the migrants were lavishly spending the money because of wrong perceptions of the life in Gulf. He said majority of the migrants were sending money home by forgoing their own basic requirements. Many of them even borrow money to keep the family happy. Such people will have a hard time when they return home after ending their overseas life.

The CASE award scheme (Co-operative Awards in Science and Engineering) does indeed represent an increased level of income as far as students are concerned; however, they should be made aware of the pitfalls also.
The increased level of support is particularly attractive to students such as myself, who have returned from industry to study for a PhD after several years on a salaried income. I took up such a CASE award in 1989; it was in the field of exhaust emission measurement and control. In my case (no pun intended) the sponsoring company had agreed to pay me £3000 a year on top of the basic SERC grant for each of three years.
After one year, far-reaching changes forced many people to disappear from the company, including the sole contact who had implemented the award. Even the sternest efforts of my supervisor could not obtain the sponsorship; I had just ...

The River Clyde (Gaelic: Abhainn Chluaidh, ) is a major river in Scotland. It is the eighth longest river in the United Kingdom, and the third longest in Scotland. Flowing through the major city of Glasgow, it was an important river for shipbuilding and trade in the British Empire.
From there it snakes northeastward before turning to the west, its flood plain used for many major roads in the area, until it reaches the town of Lanark. On the banks of the Clyde, Victorian industrialists David Dale and Robert Owen built their mills and the model settlement of New Lanark. The mills harness the power of the Falls of Clyde, the most spectacular of which is Cora Linn. A hydroelectric power station still generates electricity here, although the mills are now a museum and World Heritage Site.
From New Lanark, the river turns northwest, before it is joined by the River Avon and flows into the West of Scotland conurbation. Between the towns of Motherwell and Hamilton the course of the river has been altered to create the artificial loch within Strathclyde Park. Part of the original course can still be seen, and lies between the island and the east shore of the loch. The river then flows through Blantyre and Bothwell, where the ruined Bothwell Castle stands on a defensible promontory.
Past Uddingston and into the southeast of Glasgow the river begins to widen, meandering a course through Rutherglen and Dalmarnock. Flowing past Glasgow Green, the river is artificially straightened and widened through the centre, and although a footbridge now hinders access to the traditional Broomielaw, seagoing ships can still come upriver as far as Finnieston where the PS Waverley docks. From there, it flows past the shipbuilding heartlands, through Govan, Partick, Whiteinch, Scotstoun and Clydebank, all of which housed major shipyards, of which only two remain. The river flows out west of Glasgow, past Renfrew, and under the Erskine Bridge past Dumbarton on the north shore to the sandbank at Ardmore Point between Cardross and Helensburgh. Opposite, on the south shore, the river continues past the last Lower Clyde shipyard at Port Glasgow to Greenock where it reaches the Tail of the Bank as the river merges into the Firth of Clyde.
In 1768 John Golborne advised the narrowing of the river and the increasing of the scour by the construction of rubble jetties and the dredging of sandbanks and shoals. A particular problem was the division of the river into two shallow channels by the Dumbuck shoal near Dumbarton. After James Watt's report on this in 1769, a jetty was constructed at Longhaugh Point to block off the southern channel; this being insufficient, a training wall called the Lang Dyke was built in 1773 on the Dumbuck shoal to stop water flowing over into the southern channel. In the late 18th and early 19th centuries hundreds of jetties were built out from the banks between Dumbuck and the Broomielaw quay in Glasgow itself. In some cases this resulted in an immediate deepening as the constrained water flow washed away the river bottom, in others dredging was required.
In the mid-19th century engineers took on a much greater dredging of the Clyde, removing millions of cubic metres of silt to deepen and widen the channel. The major stumbling block in the project was a massive volcanic plug known as Elderslie Rock. It would be the 1880s before work was finally complete. The completion of the dredging was well-timed, as steelworking grew in the city, the channel finally became navigable all the way up to Glasgow. Shipbuilding replaced trade as the major activity on the river and shipbuilding companies were establishing themselves on the river at an exponential rate. Soon, the Clyde gained a reputation for being the best location for shipbuilding in the British Empire, and grew to become the worlds pre-eminent shipbuilding centre. Clydebuilt became an industry benchmark of quality, and the river's shipyards were given contracts for prestigious ocean-going liners as well as warships, including the Queen Mary and the Queen Elizabeth 2 in later years, all built in the town of Clydebank.
The downfall of the Clyde as a major industrial centre came during and post-World War II. Clydebank in particular was targeted by the Luftwaffe and sustained heavy damage. The immediate post war period saw a severe reduction in warship orders which was balanced by a prolonged boom in merchant shipbuilding. By the end of the 1950s, however, the rise of other shipbuilding nations, recapitalised and highly productive, made many European yards uncompetitive. Many Clydeside yards booked a series of loss-making contracts in the hope of weathering the storm. However by the mid-1960s, shipbuilding on the Clyde was becoming increasingly uneconomic and potentially faced collapse. This culminated in the closure of Harland and Wolff's Linthouse yard and a bankruptcy crisis facing Fairfields of Govan. The Government responded by creating the Upper Clyde Shipbuilders consortium. After the consortium's controversial collapse in 1971, the Labour government of James Callaghan later passed the Aircraft and Shipbuilding Industries Act which nationalised most of the Clyde's shipyards and grouped them with other major British shipyards as British Shipbuilders.
Today, two major shipyards remain in operation on the Upper Clyde; they are owned by the Global defence contractor, BAE Systems Naval Ships, who focus principally upon the design and construction of technologically advanced warships for the Royal Navy and other navies around the world. These are the former Yarrow yard at Scotstoun and Fairfields / Govan Shipbuilders at Govan. There is also the King George V Dock, operated by the Clyde Port Authority. On the Lower Clyde, the privately owned Ferguson Shipbuilders at Port Glasgow is the last survivor of the many shipyards that once dominated Port Glasgow and Greenock - its mainstay being the construction of car ferries.

Abuja — FACTIONAL chairman of Nigeria Governors' Forum, NGF, and governor of Plateau State, Jonah Jang, yesterday told the governor of Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, that he was not in any way bigger than the Federal Government.
Consequently, Jang warned that the CBN governor must moderate his comments and utterances making the rounds that President Goodluck Jonathan had asked for his resignation.
Jang, who noted that it had become imperative for the apex bank governor to resign and give way to someone that could work with President Jonathan, if he was no longer having a good working relationship with the President, considering the sensitive nature of his office and the economy.
In a statement in Abuja by the NGF media office, signed by Kassim Yakubu, Governor Jang said: "If the relationship between the CBN governor and President Jonathan has become frosty, it is only logical that the President becomes uncomfortable, knowing how sensitive the Central Bank is to his transformation agenda.
"Moreover, we elected the President to run the country and so we cannot be held hostage by an appointee of government if it is true that Mr. President has asked for the resignation of the CBN governor."
According to Jang, Nigerians put their trust in President Jonathan to pilot the affairs of the nation when they voted him in as President and should, therefore, be allowed the latitude to run his government without unnecessary distractions, especially from appointees who serve at the pleasure of the Federal Government and the President.
He, however, called on Nigerians to continue to watch out for those usual beneficiaries of conflict who would seek to make an issue out of this by bending the facts to suite what he described as their mischievous agenda.

Kampala — Students from three of South Sudan's Equatoria states said they are "dissatisfied" with the union's leadership and announced their non-participation until the problems are rectified.
Members of the South Sudanese Students' Union in Uganda (SSSU) were voted out in October when allegations of fund mismanaggement began to circulate. Uganda police acquitted all but one of them of all charges in November.
SSSU president James Mayar and three top officials said their names were cleared and only secretary of finance, Bill Dhieu, had a case to answer in court.
Mayar, after being reinstated to the office, signed an amended SSSU constitution and an appointed electoral commission to organise polls slated for 9 December. However, South Sudanese Equatoria Students' Union in Uganda (SSESUU) claimed in a letter extended to the Sudan Tribune that the constitution has been violated.
"The [South Sudanese Students'] union is a student's institution governed by the constitution being the supreme law and which plays a central role in uniting all South Sudanese," the letter, signed by SSESUU leader Santo Denis Silla, reads in part.
Silla said the organisation he heads met on Thursday and "came up clearly to stand against the ongoing issues...[and] disagree with such leadership in the strongest terms possible."
"Greater Equatoria students' unions in Uganda accept to suspend active participation in the [South Sudanese] students' union in Uganda as long as the current system is not rectified," the letter added.
The SSSESUU demands that the speaker of the students' parliament, who served as interim leader, before the top executives were cleared by police, be reinstated and that other members be reinstated, by a parliamentary vote.
Mayar said the decision to suspend participation is not a solution and is "against the unity of South Sudanese."
In response to allegations that he reinstated himself in the office without the necessary parliamentary vote, Mayar claimed that three sessions were suspended due to a lack of a forum for representatives and that "time is not on our side."
The chairperson of students' electoral commission, Malith Garang, said the votes for a new leadership will go ahead as planned on 9 December in Kampala.
"What we are talking about is true democracy but if the democratic means are tampered with, then I will stop my campaigns," said Oneck Alfred, a student from Makerere University who had applied for the post of secretary of information.

'Orange Is The New Black' Throwback Thursday pic: Laura Prepon or Chucky?Add to Favorites | Orange Is the New Black
This Throwback Thursday picture proves Laura Prepon is just as mischievous as her "Orange Is The New Black" alter ego Alex Vause -- and has been from an early age.
Although we have to say, the redhead with the up-to-no-good grin looks an awful lot like Chucky, the murderous ginger from the "Child's Play" horror films.
Murderess or just a playful child? You be the judge.

Square Enix London, a branch of Square Enix Europe, announced Sleeping Dogs, a gritty and visceral openworld cop drama set in Hong Kong.
Sleeping Dogs will be headed by developer United Front Games in combination with Square Enix London. The player will take on the role of Wei Shen, an undercover cop set to take down the Triads.
Lee Singleton, General Manager of Square Enix London, had this to say:
From the moment you pick up the controller and experience the blend of driving, close combat and shooting you know you're playing something fresh and a bit special. Sleeping Dogs has one of the best melee combat systems out there – it's super brutal with devastating takedown moves, and when added to UFG's proven heritage in driving games, a first class story and the vibrant back drop of the Hong Kong underworld we get a fiery recipe with fun written all over it.
Stephen Van Der Mescht, Executive producer at United Front Games, said:
Working on Sleeping Dogs has been such a huge passion for the team at United Front Games and we're really pleased to be working with Square Enix London Studios. The extensive experience both our studios have in creating compelling openworld gameplay and rich and rewarding combat makes for a perfect partnership. Working together we can make sure that Sleeping Dogs is the most intense and immersive experience it can be.
It seems the game will be very brutal. It'll be a nice break from the zaniness of one of my favorite games of 2011, Saint's Row: The Third. I also hope they have a good story to back up the action.
The game is slated for a late 2012 release for both Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

ReplicaMagic.com & Touch Bags: Who Has The Best Replicas?
ReplicaMagic.com and Touch Bags are two online stores that have been in the fashion business for a few years now, time in which they gained a strong reputation among fashion enthusiasts for providing a great alternative to spending thousands on designer handbags or shoes. What is this alternative I'm talking about? Well, ReplicaMagic.com and Touch Bags are well-known for creating identical replicas of designer wear, replicas made from the same materials and according to the same specifications as the original models, making them undistinguishable from the originals and offering a great way to look glamorous without spending a fortune. Touch Bags and ReplicaMagic have been praised on many fashion blogs and have gained quite a large customer base since the quality of their products is so amazing. In this article we are going to take a closer look at the services offered by both ReplicaMagic and Touch Bags and compare them for you so you can make a decision about which of the two represents the best choice for your next shopping spree.
Navigation & Layout
When navigating through a web store we like to keep it simple and to the point. Both stores manage to achieve this goal but after a few minutes spent on the two sites we see there are a few differences between them coming mostly from the fact that Touch Bags is more up-to-date than ReplicaMagic.com so its pages load faster and its ordering and checkout forms are simpler to use. Another major difference between the two would be that the products we find at Touch Bags are categorized better than the ones at ReplicaMagic; they are arranged both according to their designer and after their type, so navigation is a bit easier and the items are not as difficult to find.
Customer Service
Even if the quality of the products offered by a store is very high, that store is nothing if its assistants are not polite and its customer service is not friendly and helpful. And when we're talking about online stores, the customer service is even more important, so let's check the customer services of ReplicaMagic.com and Touch Bags. ReplicaMagic has a friendly staff that answers the emails sent by customers at their address pretty fast, but Touch Bags is ahead of its competitor – they offer us a hot line where we can call from morning to midnight, and they answer very quickly. Replica Magic and Touch Bags have attracted the attention of many fashion enthusiasts, but at a closer look Touch Bags appears to be in front of its rival which needs a few improvements to be its serious competitor!

I don't agree with putting him in a comedy role, he's better than that. But tag team wrestling he's proven to be great at, so that's where WWE should put him.
In all honesty, when he was re-signed, and with all the talk of re-building the tag division, I thought that's where he'd be put, but we can all see how that wasnt' the case.

Bus Crash In Vernon County
Heavy fog may be to blame for a school bus crash this morning in Vernon County. It happened around 9:20 in the Town of Wheatland.
51 year old Dwight Veglahn of rural Genoa was driving a school bus for Desoto Area Schools, northbound on State Highway 82. As the bus was turning into a church parking lot in heavy fog, it was struck near the rear wheels by a car driven by 47 year old Timothy Fergot of rural Viroqua.
Fergot sustained minor injuries and was transported by private vehicle for medical treatment. There were twelve children ages 7 to 18 on the school bus. Four children reported minor injuries and three were transported by Tri State Ambulance.

PARLIAMENT yesterday heard that more than K1 billion was spent on the national soccer team's outing to this year's Africa Cup of Nations co-hosted by Gabon and Equatorial Guinea.
Sports Deputy Minister, Nathaniel Mubukwanu said K1,233,170,000 was used to prepare the national soccer team for the title-winning campaign at the January 21 to February 12, 2012 AFCON finals.
He said from that, a block amount of K524,188,108 was spent on the team's lodging and boarding while a further K650,715,892 went towards daily allowances.
Mubukwanu, who is Mongu Central Patriotic Front (PF) Member of Parliament (MP), told the House that K58,266,000 was spent on air tickets.
He was responding to a question from Chilubi (PF) Member of Parliament Obvious Chisala who wanted to know how much was spent on preparations for the 2012 AFCON and how much was spent on the upkeep and winning bonuses for the players during the tournament.
The deputy minister also said a total of K11,508,483,250 was spent on winning bonuses. During the group stages, the team got K1,807,300,000 while K2,316,100, 000 was paid to them for reaching the quarter-finals.
The Chipolopolo gobbled K2,851,400,150 for reaching the semi-finals before netting K3,305,000,000 when they made history by winning Zambia's first AFCON title following the historical victory over favourites, Ivory Coast who they beat 8-7 on post-match penalties following a goalless draw played in regulation time and extra time.
And Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili told Parliament that it was because of the good policies of the PF that the Chipolopolo won the AFCON title.
Kambwili's statement drew jeers from the opposition side of the House but the Roan PF MP went some way to justify how his Government had facilitated the success of Herve Renard's men.
"I can justify why am saying it's because of the PF that the team won.
"Under MMD, Bonetti was brought in without consulting FAZ. There was a lot of fighting between the Ministry of Sports and FAZ. There was no sanity whatsoever," he said.
Kambwili accused the MMD government of having refused to camp the team in South Africa and instead wanted them to prepare in Ndola but that after the PF was voted into office, they granted the wish of preparing for the team in the 'Rainbow Nation', saying the results were there for all to see.
The minister also said under the previous government, there was no budget in place for the Chipolopolo and that it was clear that the ministry wanted FAZ to fail as evidenced by the incessant fighting.
Asked by Lukulu West (MMD) MP Christopher Kalila where the Government sourced the money for the preparation of the team and the subsequent participation in the AFCON which was not in the budget, Kambwili said the money came from contingency funds within the treasury.
