KUALA LUMPUR: A 70-year-old plumber has filed an application for a judicial review in the High Court over his failure to obtain a MyKad.
R. Kolandavaloo filed the application through his lawyers M. Manoharan & Co Thursday.
In the application, he named the Home Minister, the National Registration Department (NRD) director-general and the Government as respondents.
He is seeking a certiorari order to quash the NRD director-general's decision dated Sept 9, 2011 which did not grant him citizenship.
Additionally, he is seeking a mandamus order directing the respondents to issue a citizenship certificate and a MyKad to him.
Kolandavalan is also seeking a declaration that the director-general's decision was ultra-vires and not valid under the law.
In a letter he received dated Sept 9, 2011, the NRD stated that his application for citizenship under article 16 of the Federal Constitution had been rejected on grounds that the applicant was not well-behaved.
He is also seeking for a declaration that he had been registered as a Malaysian citizen under the law.
Kolandavalan has a birth certificate stating that he was born in Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang on July 29, 1943.
He was married to a Malaysian citizen and his four siblings are Malaysian citizens.

REDWOOD SHORES, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 04/28/14 -- Oracle (NYSE: ORCL)
News Summary
Customers across a broad range of geographies and industries are adopting Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances for Oracle Engineered Systems backup and recovery. With the new ZS3 Series for backup, Oracle ZFS Storage ZS3-BA, customers have a pre-configured, pre-racked solution co-engineered with Oracle Database to provide extreme backup and restore performance with superior efficiency to help meet SLAs. In addition to high performance, ZS3-BA offers 5x lower three-year TCO over EMC Data Domain 990(1) for Oracle Engineered Systems data protection.
News Facts
- Spotlighting demand for Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances for Engineered Systems backup and recovery, Oracle today announced customers across the globe are adopting Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances for Oracle Database backup environments.
- Oracle's ZFS Storage business posted strong year-over-year growth in fiscal Q3, demonstrating another quarter of sales momentum for the NAS product portfolio.
- Oracle ZFS Storage delivers unique value for Oracle Database customers with features not available to NetApp and EMC storage, including Oracle Intelligent Storage Protocol (OISP), and Automatic Data Optimization (ADO) with Oracle Hybrid Columnar Compression.
- Customers cite the outstanding performance, efficiency, and value of Oracle's unique Application Engineered Storage capabilities achieved through co-engineering Oracle hardware and software:
DB Schenker Rail
"As the leading rail freight company in Europe, DB Schenker Rail requires rapid and reliable access to vast amounts of data. Oracle Exadata Database Machine and the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance has been the right solution for us, enabling very fast backup and restore times," said Dominic Marx, Head of Business Intelligence Competence Center, DB Schenker Rail. "We've been impressed with high compression rates obtained using Hybrid Columnar Compression with the Oracle Exadata and Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance, and the fact that the compression levels are maintained by the ZFS Storage Appliance, so we realize cost and capacity savings on top of high performance."
Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz
"Hospitals have very specific business and IT requirements such as availability 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance was a natural choice for Oracle Exadata Database Machine backup because of its efficient and large capacity storage, and it is already completely integrated with Oracle Exadata," said Denis da Costa Rodrigues, Manager of Information Technology, Hospital Alemão Oswaldo Cruz. "As part of the solution, we also implemented Oracle Active Data Guard, which further increases our data protection capabilities. The overall Oracle Exadata - ZFS Storage solution has not only improved our ability to deliver high-quality healthcare services, but also provides the high availability, agility and data protection to support our operations."
SunGard Availability Services
"Over the last five or six years, we've seen our data double then triple in size, putting real stress on our infrastructure," said Hal Moretto, Director, Enterprise Infrastructure, SunGard Availability Services. "Using RMAN and Oracle's ZFS Storage Appliance to backup the Oracle Exadata Database Machine, we've been able to create encrypted backups and leverage the InfiniBand connectivity between ZFS and Exadata to improve throughput, as well as replicating the backup to our offsite D/R location to a second ZFS storage appliance via storage replication, making that backup set available for offsite restoration if required."
- Additional customers using Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances for Oracle Engineered Systems backup, tell their stories here.
Oracle's New ZS3 Series for Backup Complements Engineered Systems Extreme Performance, Helps Reduce Backup and Recovery Risk and Cost Over EMC
- ZS3-BA helps ensure backup and recovery SLAs are met by scaling to 26 TB/hr for full backups and 17 TB/hr for full restores -- a 30 percent increase for backups and 80 percent increase for restores over the previous generation.
- ZS3-BA offers 5x lower three-year TCO over EMC Data Domain 990 without the need for additional costly agents, media servers and third-party software required by competitors' systems, and it is available in a HA configuration, unlike EMC Data Domain products.
- ZS3-BA also helps customers meet backup window and recovery time objectives by delivering a fully optimized I/O stack for superior database backup and recovery performance through a massive cache-centric architecture (DRAM and flash), symmetric multiprocessing OS, and technologies such as OISP, Oracle Direct NFS (dNFS), Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA), and InfiniBand.
- ZS3-BA supports Hybrid Columnar Compression (HCC), which can compress Oracle Database data by 10-50x, allowing customers to significantly reduce the amount of storage and bandwidth required. In addition, HCC compression is maintained throughout the backup environment and for secondary processing including snaps and clones that can be used natively for development/test/QA. HCC is available only with Oracle storage.
- Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance is the only NAS product with direct InfiniBand connectivity to Oracle engineered systems' own InfiniBand backplanes, allowing customers to leverage the fastest bandwidth available to deliver 40Gb/sec throughput speeds.
- ZS3-BA is pre-configured and pre-racked for engineered systems integration to speed deployment and reduce configuration risk. Oracle's engineered systems backup utility helps further remove installation guesswork to enable rapid and reliable setup.
Supporting Quote
- "Extremely high speed streaming performance, ease-of-use, and Oracle Database co-engineering give the ZFS Storage Appliance a clear competitive advantage in Oracle engineered systems backup and recovery use cases. Customers worldwide are adopting it as their backup solution of choice," said Scott Tracy, vice president, Storage Software, Oracle. "The new ZS3-BA further extends these capabilities while offering superior TCO for customers with demanding Oracle Database and Engineered Systems data protection requirements."

Cycle funding to be slashed unless government acts swiftlyLast updated at 2:31PM, July 31 2015
Funding for safe cycle routes will be slashed by more than half unless the government urgently commits to a new long-term budget
A woman who killed a cyclist when she took her eyes off the road for 18 seconds while adjusting her sat-nav has been convicted of causing death by dangerous driving.
Anthony Hilson, 46, died from "unsurvivable" head and chest injuries in September last year when Victoria McClure, 38, crashed her car into the back of his bicycle at 40-50mph on the A4 near Twyford, Berkshire.
Jurors were told that McClure, a former paediatrician and mother of two, "drove blind" while staring at the sat-nav screen in her Honda Accord.McClure, of Reading, had admitted a lesser charge of causing death by careless driving, but denied causing death by dangerous driving. Jurors convicted her of the more serious charge, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. Sentencing was adjourned until next month.
As the verdict was read out, McClure sobbed. She had told Reading Crown Court that she had seen Mr Hilson moments before the impact. "There was no time to do anything — swerve or brake," she said. "For the cyclist, for his family, I don't stop thinking about it and I feel very sorry."
Mr Hilson was one of 122 cyclists to die on UK roads last year. A debate is due in the House of Commons on September 2 when MPs will have the chance to discuss proposed measures to get more people to commute by bicycle.

Officials settle UC Davis pepper-spray case
Current and former students who were pepper-sprayed during an Occupy demonstration filed suit
Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — The University of California Regents reached a proposed settlement with UC Davis students and alumni hit with pepper spray during a campus protest that gained nationwide attention in November.
Neither the University's lawyers nor the plaintiffs' lawyers would comment Thursday on details of the settlement agreement which still requires a federal judge's approval.
A suit was filed in February by 21 current and former students who were pepper-sprayed during the Nov. 18 Occupy demonstrations.
The officers captured on a widely-viewed video spraying the seated students in their faces at close range are no longer with the campus police department.
The incident has already cost the university system plenty of money, including $445,879 to an independent consulting group that conducted a review of the pepper-spraying.

The 80s Called. They Want The New Kids on the Block Back, But We've Got Them!
By Erica Holloway on January 22, 2013
BlogHer Original Post
Danny, Donnie, Joe, Jon, Jordan. Any girl of the 80s (and some boys) need no further introduction.
To the non-Blockheads of the world, we're of course speaking of THE boy band - New Kids on the Block or NKOTB.
And today, the music and pop culture world's a buzzing with news of a reunion including a new album - 10 - and a tour - The Package - kicking off May 31 with other hot 80s acts 98 Degrees and Boys II Men. Find tour dates and locations here.
No need for us to play coy. We all probably qualified as quasi stalkers.
After all, they had the right stuff.
Admit it: Teen Beat, Tutti Fruitti and BOP papered your bedroom walls, you studied every dance move, heard song hooks in your sleep and never, NEVER missed a TV appearance.
When a family friend took me to see them in concert with the peach-complected Tiffany, my obsession really jumped up a notch complete with a NKOTB concert swag tank top, book covers doodles (Erica + JM 4Ever), and sleepover girl talk always returned to "What do you think they're really like?"
It was our Beatlemania. Silly, fun and harmless. Though, now as a parent, I imagine it drove my mom and dad a little bananas.
The band's aware of their lasting appeal.
"There is a lot of nostalgia and we embrace that. But it always feels young and fresh. I guess that's one of the great things about being in the music business is that you never have to quite grow up." - Joey McIntyre, 40
Dedicated fans, such as myself, helped propel the Beantown boys to superstardom. They sold 80 million records worldwide and won two American Music Awards.
It's the kind of rocket that few musical acts ride.
But fame was fleeting. The first album, News Kids on the Block, was released in 1986. By 1994, the party was over.
The Maurice Starr-created band faced allegations of lip-syncing after the Milli Vanilli scandal. They defended using backing tracks in recording sessions and on stage, and even sued over the accusations, but the scrutiny continued.
It even hurt my view of the band. As a music student, I backed away from my ardent defense of their "bubblegum pop." Down went the NKOTB posters as I graduated to the more serious early 90s "grunge" sound.
Yet today, I forgive all because with time comes a little grace. They were young and likely had very little creative or business control over the band.
And just because they stopped Oh-Oh-oOoh-Oh-ing, like the rest of us, doesn't mean they stopped living.
Here's what our boys have been up to:
Credit Image: © Morgan/UPPA/ZUMAPRESS.com
- Jordan Knight, 42, launched a solo singing career selling 1.5 million records worldwide and regularly appears on TV.
- Spotlight shy Jonathan Knight, 44, works as a real estate developer and recently revealed publicly that he's gay, saying "I have lived my life very openly and have never hidden the fact that I am gay."
- Joey McIntyre, 40, turned to singing, songwriting and acting, and resurfaced on the first season of Dancing with the Stars, winning third place.
- "Bad boy" Donnie Wahlberg, 43, enjoyed some admirable acting success in hits, such as "The Sixth Sense" and "Band of Brothers."
- Danny Wood, 43, also pursued a solo music career and operates his own record label, Damage Records.
Welcome back, boys. You might not be "new" anymore, but neither are we. It's just darn good to be young and feel young with those whom you were young.
P.S. Do you think Joey's a really involved dad? I'll bet he is. *sigh*

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/08/13 -- Continuing its aggressive push to the general availability of the industry's only elastically scalable Cloud Data Management System (CDMS), NuoDB, Inc. today announced the addition of four executives to its management team: Greg Fegan, vice president of business development; Steve Green, vice president of sales; Ashish Mohindroo, vice president of marketing; and John Wagner, chief financial officer. The new executives join Founder and CEO Barry Morris, and Vice President of Engineering Adam Abrevaya. Jim Starkey, NuoDB founder and chief technology officer, is assuming an ongoing advisory role.
"With a week to go before our CDMS is generally available, we are witnessing tremendous interest from the market for us to demonstrate NuoDB truly does what we say it does -- scales effortlessly in the cloud without compromising any of the features of relational databases," said Morris. "Each of our new executives is a seasoned, industry veteran with experience capitalizing on the kind of momentum that is building for NuoDB, and together they are an excellent complement to the top-notch VCs who have helped us get to this point."
Fegan is an accomplished technology veteran with 25 years of operational, profit and loss experience in business development and sales leadership roles for high-growth software companies. He has successfully designed and executed systematic growth models for start-ups as well as global industry leaders.
For the last six years, Fegan served as an advisor to Fortune 500 executives, boards of publicly- and privately-held companies and venture-backed senior management teams. Prior to that, Fegan held the role of vice president of North American sales and operations for GoldenGate Software, Inc., where he built the company's first commercial sales team. He's also held senior management positions at Inktomi, Netscape, Sybase and Oracle.
Green has been a passionate advocate for enabling customer success throughout his 22-year career in technology. He spent the past seven years in sales leadership at Brightcove, a cloud content services provider, where he created the initial demand generation driven sales model, scaled the field sales organization and helped grow the company through their initial public offering in early 2012 and its first quarters as a public company.
Prior to Brightcove, Green was with DataPower (since acquired by IBM), where he scaled the inbound sales team and process, and brought on key customers. Green has also held a variety of sales roles with Ping Identity, Imprivata and Allaire Corporation (acquired by Macromedia, now Adobe).
Mohindroo is a Marketing Executive with 17+ years of experience in building successful organizations and growing niche offerings into multi-million dollar businesses. His experience spans from driving success at innovative startups to large Enterprises that include Oracle, Symantec and Salesforce.com. He joined NuoDB after being a consultant/advisor to the Salesforce Platform Marketing team and helped drive their Go-To-Market Strategy for the Cloud Application Platform.
Prior to Salesforce, he was the global head for Product Marketing & Strategy for Symantec's Enterprise Security and Mobile Business.
Wagner has nearly 20 years of experience in financial management for various technology companies, focused on facilitating the growth of emerging companies. He most recently served as vice president of finance for Carbonite, where he played a key role in the cloud backup provider's 2011 initial public offering and subsequent transition to a public company.
Prior to Carbonite, Wagner served as controller of Constant Contact, and led its financial operations and accounting team during the company's dramatic revenue growth from $20 to $220 million and its 2007 initial public offering. Wagner also served as chief financial officer at Salesnet through its sale to RightNow Technologies and held finance and accounting roles at Mirror Image Internet and Arthur Andersen.
NuoDB will host a live webcast event at 11 a.m. EST on January 15 to mark the general availability of its CDMS. Interested parties may register for the webcast at this link: http://go.nuodb.com/cdms-2013-register.html.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Super Bowl: 13 Memorable Halftime Shows
Bruno Mars last year set a high bar for Katy Perry and special guests Missy Elliott and Lenny Kravitz (and more?) to follow. How will they stack up vs. past MVPs (Prince, Bruce, Britney) who've rocked NFL's big stage?
Slide 1 of 13
Bruno Mars (2014)
Before "Uptown Funk" appeared in every commercial on air so far this year, Bruno Mars ruled the beginning of 2014 with his impressive halftime show. Entering with a powerful drum solo, Mars crooned and danced through hits like "Locked Out of Heaven" and "Treasure" with more than enough energy to fill MetLife Stadium. The only false note was the Red Hot Chili Peppers appearance—the band brought their signature rock sound, but it didn't gel so well with Bruno Mars' soul-funk vibe. Unfazed, Mars brought it home with an emotional ending, belting out "Just the Way You Are" as a tribute for service men and women overseas to pay their loved ones back home. It may have been just 15 minutes, Mars delivered an incredible performance full of heart, soul, and tons of (uptown) funk.

EU threatens Russia with purposeful measures
04 March 2014 [17:00] -
If Russia continues taking aggressive actions , the EU will take the purposeful measures without hesitation, European Commissioner for Enlargement and Neighbourhood Policy Štefan Füle said at the press-conference in Tbilisi on March 4.
Füle did not name these measures.
"There are important factors that will stop the bloodshed in Ukraine," he said. "The Council on Foreign Policy has recently reminded Russia of the need to fulfill its commitments to the international community. The matter rests in Ukraine's territorial integrity, which must be protected."
Fule said that the recently voiced declaration fixed not only the EU's position in relation to Ukraine's events, but designed to facilitate the final de-escalation of the situation in Crimea.
"The foreign ministers said that if Russia continues its policy of aggression in Ukraine, the EU will take the targeted measures," Fule said.
Several thousand people who participated in the two rallies gathered in front of the Supreme Council of Crimea on the morning of February 26.
In a joint statement, the leaders of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan , Great Britain and US , as well as chairman of the European Council and chairman of the European Commission condemned Russia's position on Ukraine and cancelled preparations for the G-8 summit in Sochi scheduled for June 2014.

by Robert Bly
Publisher:Sierra Club Books
Acclaimed poet and translator Robert Bly here assembles a unique cross-cultural anthology that illuminates the idea of a larger-than-human consciousness operating in the universe. The books 150 poems come from around the world and many eras: from the ecstatic Sufi poet Rumi to contemporary voices like Kenneth Rexroth, Denise Levertov, Charles Simic, and Mary Oliver. Brilliant introductory essays trace our shifting attitudes toward the natural world, from the old position of dominating or denigrating nature, to the growing sympathy expressed by the Romantics and American poets like Whitman and Dickinson. Blys translations of Neruda, Rilke, and others, along with superb examples of non-Western verse such as Eskimo and Zuni songs, complete this important, provocative anthology.

An OK apartment for the money. Nice brush up for the apartment with modern interior. The bed quality was not that good for our bags. 2,5 km ok walk to the old City of bratislava but the district around the apartment is boring.
Everything was as stated on the website, so there's nothing to complain about.
Nice place. We love Bratislava and this was a great place to stay. Marian communicated very well.
The flat was spacious and clean. The apartment is 10 mins away from old town and 15 mins from trainstation by bus, 5 mins with taxi to both destination. We never met Marian, but his associate Marika was there to welcome us. She was very helpful. She give us tips such as which taxi company to use, where to find the nearest bus stop and some place to worth visit in old town. I would sincerely recomend this host.
Die Wohnung liegt in einer Wohngegend mit Einkaufsmöglichkeiten, die man in wenigen Minuten zu Fuß erreichen kann. Die Ausstattung des Apartments lässt keine Wünsche offen; neben den Einrichtungsgegenständen gibt es auch zB Tee und Kaffee zur freien Entnahme.
Marika war außergewöhnlich freundlich und hilfsbereit, hat uns die wichtigsten Infos zu Bratislava geliefert und uns sogar noch den Weg zur nächsten Bushaltestelle gezeigt.
Weder Wohnung noch Gastgeber/in lassen Wünsche offen. Wir empfehlen sie uneingeschränkt weiter!
Overall, it was great experience! Marian was always available for communication and Marika was there to assist in getting in and feeling like at home. The apartment was very clean and everything was there. It was very comfortable and the location is great. I will definitely stay there again once in Bratislava or even in Vienna!
Eine Geschäftspartnerin von Marian Namens Maya hat uns sehr nett in der Unterkunft empfangen. Sie war sehr sympathisch und hat uns erklärt wie und welche öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel wir nutzen können. Zudem erhielten wir noch Tipps zur Slovakischen Küche. Die Wohnung war sauber und identisch mit den Bildern im Internet. Die Soundanlage im Wohnzimmer ist sehr gut und der Duschkopf im Bad ist cool!
About the Host, Marian
I am a business manager from Slovakia working abroad (now based in London) and traveling extensively throughout Europe the USA. A friend of mine, who is very nice is taking care of guests who come to my place in Bratislava. She goes above and beyond.

School Library JournalPreS-Gr 2 The point of this collection of 21 abbreviated tales, says Lewis, is to be ``truly involved with your youngster. . .when reading is not what you wish to be doing.'' But why bother at all with these truncated, synopsized, blunted and bony tales? Four-paragraph retellings eliminate most repetitions, the power of the patterned language and the evident and inevitable conclusions which have made stories such as these the backbone of children's literature. Red Riding Hood's wolf eats no one, Baba Yaga flits through a story and the storyteller remarks at the close of ``The Sky Is Falling,'' ``Do I have to tell you what happened?'' Well, yes. That, at least, is the job of the storytellerto enchant listeners with the whole story. Rather than stuff these tales into young children, why not wait until they're a little older and can hear the real stories, warts, witches, retributions, rewards and all. That is, if anyone has the time to read beyond a minute. Susan Hepler, formerly at Ohio State University, Columbus

75-vehicle pileup on Virginia highway kills three
Last Updated: Monday, April 1, 2013 - 09:24
Galax (US): Virginia State Police say three people have been killed and more than 20 are injured following a 75-vehicle pileup on an interstate highway near the Virginia-North Carolina border.
The Virginia Department of Transportation says traffic is backed up about 8 miles (13 kilometres).
State police say a series of wrecks began around 1:15 pm yesterday in the southbound lanes in the area of Fancy Gap Mountain in southwest Virginia. There was heavy fog at the time.
The interstate is closed in both directions. Northbound lanes are closed so emergency vehicles can get to the southbound lanes.
Motorists are being advised to seek alternate routes.

Wine.com allows users to upload address lists from databases or personal PDAs. It also allows customers to search through 3,000 wines from 15 countries.
Wine.com has re-launched its web site featuring a new gift function, better search and new merchandising options.
Wine.com`s new Corporate Gift Center allows users to upload address lists from their company`s address databases or from their personal PDAs. They can then make purchases for the entire list online by clicking on the product and clicking on the recipient`s name. The database automatically fills the appropriate fields with name and address. The system also allows customers to send the same product and message to all recipients with only a couple of clicks. Wine.com can accept up to 2,000 names and addresses.
Wine.com also has implemented new search technology from EasyAsk Inc. The new "Wine Search" allows users to search through 3,000 wines from wineries and vineyards in 15 countries.
The technology corrects for misspellings and gives users the ability to browse through related listings to find the product they want, Peter Ekman, Wine.com`s president, says. "Wine is intimdating because there are a lot of strange names and half of them are in French," he says. "Even those of us who work in the industry spell the names wrong half the time."
Wine.com had been using a home-grown search with an earlier version of EasyAsk`s product. That version was limited in that it allowed shoppers to search on "French wine," for instance, but not on any regions, Ekman says.
EasyAsk and Wine.com developed the search function together to create a wine search engine. The technology has been in place for about a month and Ekman says it`s too soon to tell if the improved search has boosted sales.
Each wine listing contains winemaker`s notes, customer reviews and a personalization feature that indicates what other wines the customer might like though a real-time analysis of what other customers with similar tastes have also purchased.
The new Wine.com also includes clubs and packaged purchases. Wine club gifts range from $19.95 to $69.95 per month and collections of three or six wines range from $34.99 to $ $179.99.

Israel bombs tunnel in Gaza Strip
Last Updated: Monday, August 10, 2009 - 10:21
Tel Aviv: Israeli military jets bombed a smuggling tunnel between the Gaza Strip and Egypt early Monday morning, the Jerusalem Post reported.
The attack came in response to an attack by Palestinian militants, military officials told the newspaper. No casualties had been reported in the attack.
On Sunday, militants fired mortars into Israel as sick Palestinians were being transported into Israel for treatment, a Palestinian official told Haaretz newspaper. Two Palestinian militant groups shot 12 mortars near the Eres border crossing. Six of the mortars exploded as the medical transport was underway.
Israeli forces frequently target tunnels that used by militants to smuggle weapons or other materials into the Strip.
