On July 16, 1969 — as Apollo 11 blasted into space — America's fascination with space exploration began an upward trajectory of its own.
In the years since Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin stepped onto the lunar surface, movies have been made, books have been written and the nation's space-related memorabilia have been collected for show.
To commemorate the 45th anniversary of the July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 moon landing, TripAdvisor has compiled the top 10 space-related destinations reviewed by travelers on its site.
The list, mostly made up of space museums, space centers and observatories, is based on the "quality and quantity of reviews" for each destination, explains the travel site.
"The TripAdvisor survey shows that even 45 years after the moon landing, Americans are still intrigued by space exploration," said Brooke Ferencsik, director of communications at TripAdvisor.
In the above gallery, you can check out which destinations made the list.

Back in 2008, on the opening day of a trial that would lead to a crisis the state of California is finally being forced to confront, an attorney representing inmates began showing the court a video depicting a prison gymnasium filled wall-to-wall with triple-decked bunk beds.
An attorney representing the state objected, calling the video "hearsay evidence" of prison overcrowding.
The plaintiffs' attorney responded that the video had been taken from the website of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
At that, federal District Judge Lawrence Karlton, incredulous that the source of such damning evidence was the state itself, allowed the showing of the video to proceed.
State officials were in denial then that the federal courts would intervene to relieve overcrowding in California prisons, and they remained largely in denial for nearly five more years — until Aug. 2, when the U.S. Supreme Court declined to block an order that the state reduce its inmate population to 137.5 percent of prison capacity by the end of the year.
The state had been in denial throughout that 2008 trial, when it didn't bother to contest the allegation that California prisons were seriously overcrowded.
It sought to argue only that it could adequately deliver medical and mental health care despite those conditions.
It remained in denial after the special three-judge panel found that overcrowding was the principal cause of inadequate health care and initially ordered the population reduction.
Back then, state officials were smugly confident the U.S. Supreme Court would never let such an order stand.
After all, Congress, concerned about a proliferation of lawsuits, had passed the Prison Litigation Reform Act in 1996. It says judges must find "the least intrusive means necessary" to correct any violation of rights.

[HOT TOPIC PROG] Let's get this out of the way: Russian Circles is a great, heavy instrumental post-rock band. But it's not worth $27.50 to watch the band play a 30-minute set at 8 pm. Anyway, I love prog and metal and comics and science fiction, so I want to appreciate Coheed and Cambria. C&C guitarist-vocalist Claudio Sanchez writes entire graphic novels based on the band's lyrical concepts. But even though latest album Afterman: Descension (yes, it's the follow-up to last year's Afterman: Ascension) comes with five trading cards if you buy it from Hot Topic, I'm still vomiting in my mouth even attempting to listen to the music on offer here. It really sounds like Jonathan Davis from Korn fronting Living Colour. Between the Buried and Me is better, retaining a more technical edge. But my friend who calls the group "Between the Boring and the Intros" is not wrong.

DXG introduces 3D-capable compact camcorder
If there's anything that will get people interested in 3D, it's themselves. 3D self-recorded memories of the kids playing at the park, Thanksgiving dinner, and… other, less well-lit situations as well. But at the moment, 3D recording is expensive and complicated — DXG aims to fix that. It's really not that hard to do; all you need is a sensor capable of capturing… Read More
Panasonic announces Micro Four-Thirds pro camcorder
This isn't really something many gadget lovers will want (at an estimated $6000 it's well out of our price range), but it does demonstrate Panasonic's commitment to the M4/3 format, and not just at a consumer level. The AG-AF100 will fit with whatever lenses you see fit to buy for your EVIL Panasonic camera, and shoots pretty much every format you might want to shoot, as long… Read More

The HD JVC Everio GZ-HM550 lets smartphones control functions via Bluetooth
The JVC GZ-HM550 brings a new set of standards to the table. It isn't the 1920 x 1080 recording or 9 MP stills. Nor is it the 32GB internal flash memory with an SD/SDHC card slot playing backup or even the Konica Minolta HD lens. Nope, it's the novel Bluetooth function that might make a full size camcorder relevant again in a smartphone world. Read More
Tiny $20 camcorder shoots 640×480 video

Review: Sony Bloggie MHS-PM5/V pocket HD camcorder
Short version: This camcorder is certainly small, and the swivel head can be handy, but the lack of optical zoom hurts, and the poor video quality, focus trouble, and low light performance pretty much sink this little bugger. Cute, though. Read More

Unassuming cap sports hidden camcorder
Pardon me, miss? I'd just like to tell you that I think your hat is fly. Dope, even. Too bad you'll never remember my face. Memorize it now and then lose me forever.

CrunchDeals: Flip MinoHD camcorder for $120
Ho ho ho, this may be the lowest price you'll see on a new Flip MinoHD camcorder for a while. Amazon's got them for $120, today only, down from $160. To be honest, Cisco just bought Flip and they're expected to unveil some new products at CES (like, perhaps, Wi-Fi enabled camcorders?) so Flip might just be blowing these things out to make room for the new stuff.

Wearable ContourHD cam gets lens kit and waterproof housing accessories
Devin recently reviewed the ContourHD 1080p, a wearable HD camcorder designed to be worn during activities that would cause other camcorders to self-destruct. One thing it couldn't do, however, was go into the water (though it resisted some splashing). It's not designed to be waterproof out of the box, which definitely could be a problem for divers, rafters, or other… Read More
Review: ContourHD wearable 1080p camcorder
The Short Version: The ContourHD 1080p is a capable, semi-rugged, conveniently-shaped HD camcorder that's great for all kinds of sporting and active events where a full-size camera isn't practical. The 1080p video has admirable still image quality, but skew and compression mean it's more of an enthusiast tool than a professional one. But for $330, it's a great little… Read More
RED updates its lineup, throws a bone to current RED owners
A relatively large announcement went live earlier today from RED, which as you'll remember, made big promises for digital cinema a while ago — with equally big (and vague) timeframes. Today was a minor solidification of those timeframes, but many RED users were expecting solid shipping dates, and those didn't happen. Instead, a change in strategy was announced, and a few… Read More

Article ID: 266353 - View products that this article applies to.
This article was previously published under Q266353
On This Page
This article describes what is supported and what is not supported when you develop custom solutions that integrate with Microsoft-based messaging products or Microsoft technologies. This article also contains most of the key information to be aware of when you develop with Microsoft products and Microsoft technologies. However, this article does not cover all scenarios. Contact Microsoft Customer Support Services if you have any questions about whether a specific solution is supported.
This article also discusses specific technologies and specific scenarios to provide guidance to developers.
The term "supported" is used to describe whether Microsoft Customer Support Services or Microsoft Services can help you when you try to achieve something in a specific way. Typically, the term is also used in the context of whether a Microsoft product group will potentially fix an issue for a given scenario.
Because of the large matrix of products, technologies, and versions that require testing, we cannot say that all scenarios have been designed or tested. Therefore, we encourage you to use the following best practices when you design custom solutions:
Integrating with Outlook propertiesOutlook, Microsoft Exchange Server, and other Microsoft products store data in MAPI stores, such as personal folders (.pst) files, Exchange mailbox stores, or Exchange public folder stores. Although some of this data is visible, various other data is not visible and is stored for other reasons.
In some cases, there is a one-to-one correspondence between what you see in Outlook and what is stored in the underlying MAPI database. The Subject box of an e-mail message is an example of this because this box corresponds to the PR_SUBJECT MAPI property. In this case, this property predates Outlook because this property was used by previous Microsoft e-mail clients. Other properties also have a one-to-one correspondence but are specific to Outlook. For example, a contact's Web site address is stored in a specific MAPI named property.
Note For more information about named properties in Outlook, see the "MAPI-specific information for named properties" section.
In some cases, Outlook may use multiple MAPI properties to store information for a specific purpose, or Outlook may store multiple pieces of information in one property. In both of these scenarios, frequently there is no documentation that explains how these properties are implemented or how they function.
Programmatically changing the underlying properties involves some risk. The main areas include the following:
Therefore, we recommend that you avoid accessing this low-level data directly and that you use a high-level API instead, such as the Outlook object library. Because of these factors, Microsoft generally does not support explaining how or why the underlying properties are implemented.
It is also important to differentiate between reading properties and writing properties. Programmatically reading MAPI properties by using APIs such as Extended MAPI, WebDAV, or the PropertyAccessor object in the Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 object model is supported. However, writing to those properties is not supported because of the potential for data corruption issues or for other problems that other MAPI clients may have when they use the modified data.
MAPI-specific information for named propertiesMAPI provides a facility for assigning names to certain properties, for mapping these names to unique identifiers, and for making this mapping persistent. Outlook writes many Outlook-specific fields into these named properties that use identifiers in the 8000-FFFE range. Typically, the Microsoft Outlook object model is the only supported method of changing these named properties. Typically, changing these properties by using MAPI or by using Collaboration Data Objects (CDO) is not supported.
Named properties are identified by a name and by a GUID for a property set. The name can be a number or a string. These properties are manipulated by using the IMAPIProp::GetIDsFromNames function and the IMAPIProp::GetNamesFromIDs function. The GUID and the name are passed to the GetIDsFromNames function to obtain a property ID that is valid for the current MAPI session. Because this property ID can vary from computer to computer, the only consistent way to access a named property is to know its property set and its name.
Typically, named properties are used by Outlook clients as a way to add extra information to a message that is only used by that client. Therefore, most of the named properties that are used by Outlook clients are not documented. The only supported way to obtain these properties is through the Outlook object model.
Common named properties that are used by OutlookThe following table describes the common named properties that are used by Outlook.
In addition to the properties that are native to MAPI, user-defined fields on customized Outlook forms are supported through MAPI, through CDO, through WebDAV, and through the Outlook object model. These fields use the PS_PUBLIC_STRINGS property as the property set identifier and the name of the field as the property name.

APIs that are supported in managed codeMAPI was originally designed and originally developed in the late 1980s. Therefore, MAPI predates managed code in the Microsoft .NET Framework. We do not provide managed wrappers for MAPI, and we discourage you from using third-party wrappers. This is because solutions may seem to work in a test environment, but issues that are related to memory management may occur when an application is deployed in a production environment and is exposed to real-world scalability scenarios.
The following table summarizes the support policy for Outlook APIs in the .NET Framework environment.

Collapse this tableExpand this table
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/813349/ )Support policy for Microsoft Exchange APIs with .NET Framework applications
The .NET Framework user controlsThe .NET Framework user controls are not supported in Outlook 2003, in earlier versions of Outlook, or in Outlook 2007 custom form regions. For more information about support for these controls, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
(https://support.microsoft.com/kb/897863/ )Description of the supportability of Winforms controls in unmanaged applications
Custom forms and HTTP scenarios for Outlook 2003 and for earlier versions of OutlookIn Outlook, custom Outlook forms are not supported for use with HTTP-based mail services such as Microsoft Hotmail. Outlook does not prevent you from using custom form features if you are using an HTTP-based mail service. However, some features do not work correctly. The features do not work correctly because HTTP-based mail messages are stored in a read-only state on the server. Therefore, we recommend that you do not use custom Outlook forms if you are using an HTTP-based mail service.
Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0 MAPI controlsVisual Basic 6.0 MAPI controls are based on Simple MAPI and are no longer tested or supported starting in Outlook 2007. We encourage you to use a newer API for e-mail solutions.
Note The standard support for Visual Basic 6.0 has expired.
Common Messaging CallsCommon Messaging Calls (CMC) is not supported after the release of the Outlook e-mail security update in June 2000.
Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)Unlike other Office applications, Outlook does not support Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) as a way to programmatically communicate with Outlook.
Microsoft Outlook Express (Microsoft Windows XP)For a long time, the only supported API for Outlook Express was Simple MAPI. Simple MAPI is a set of functions and the related data structures that you can use to add messaging functionality to custom applications. The Simple MAPI functions are available in versions for C, for C++, and for Visual Basic.
The documentation for Simple MAPI is provided in the Microsoft Exchange SDK. To view this documentation, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa142548(EXCHG.65).aspxOutlook Express uses Windows Address Book (WAB). For more information about Windows Address Book, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
Windows Mail in Windows VistaIn Windows Vista, Windows Mail is the replacement for Outlook Express. For developer documentation, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms709546.aspxAPIs that are available for Outlook Express 6.0 are also included in this documentation.
Windows Live APIs and SDKsFor more information about the APIs that are related to e-mail and about the support options for Windows Live, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
http://dev.live.com/Microsoft Customer Support currently does not provide support for these APIs.
Support for creating "Adjacent Windows" in OutlookMicrosoft provides a code sample and corresponding documentation for using Windows APIs to add user interface panes into Outlook 2003 and later versions of Outlook. This documentation is located at the following Microsoft web site:
Microsoft understands that customers are already using the Windows API approach to integrate with Outlook, and the Outlook Social Connector also takes advantage of this kind of integration. Documentation for Outlook adjacent windows provides "best practice" guidelines to help avoid conflicts with other programs by using this approach, including the Outlook Social Connector.
This sample code and the corresponding documentation are not supported by Microsoft. The Outlook product group does not consider this overall approach to be part of Outlook's supported architecture in terms of developing custom solutions with Outlook. Instead, we recommend and support using other approaches that are more fully designed, tested, and documented to work with Outlook. Depending on the version of Outlook, these other approaches include Outlook custom forms, form regions, folder home pages, custom task panes, and the Outlook Social Connector (OSC) extensibility architecture. One key advantage of using these supported approaches is that developers will have a much better chance that they will not encounter compatibility issues when a newer version or service pack of Outlook is released.
If you encounter issues when you use the information that is provided in the sample, you can post comments on the MSDN Code Gallery page for this download. However, Microsoft cannot guarantee that support will be provided for your issue.
Support for Drag and Drop IntegrationAs a developer, you may wish to develop a custom solution that allows Outlook items to be dragged and dropped onto a Visual Studio form or other container that supports a drop operation. However, from a custom solution perspective, Outlook was not designed to support these types of scenarios and no Microsoft testing was done in this area. Therefore, Microsoft does not recommend or support developing a custom solution in this manner. Instead, Microsoft recommends that you use the Selection object available beginning in the Outlook 2000 object model. You can then implement a custom CommandBar button (Outlook 2000-2007) or custom Ribbon button (Outlook 2010) to handle the processing of those selected items.
While unsupported, there is additional information located on the following blog:

Beaufort's Dyke is the sea trench between Northern Ireland and Scotland within the North Channel. The dyke is 50 km long, 3.5 km wide and 200–300 metres deep.
Because of its depth and its proximity to the Cairnryan military port, it became the United Kingdom's largest offshore dump site for conventional and chemical munitions after the Second World War; in July 1945, 14,500 tons of 5-inch artillery rockets filled with phosgene were dumped in Beaufort's Dyke.[1]
Munitions have subsequently been washed up on beaches in the area. In particular, in 1995, incendiary devices were discovered on the Scottish and Northern Irish coasts. This coincided with the laying of the Scottish Northern Ireland Pipeline (SNIP), a 24-inch gas interconnector being constructed by British Gas.
Following the First World War Hurd's Deep was used by the British Government as a dumping ground for both chemical and conventional munitions. The SMS Baden was scuttled there in 1921. Following the Second World War it was used to dump military equipment, munitions and weaponry left behind by the ousted German invaders of the Channel Islands.
Hurd's Deep is the final resting place of HMS Affray which sank in 1951.[1]
Routine dumping of British munitions carried on until 1974.
Between 1946 and 1973 the area was also used for the dumping of low and intermediate level radioactive wastes.

Shanghai Stock Exchange Initiates Mentor System For Growth Of MSMEs
The Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE) has launched a program of serving micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs).
The SSE held a symposium on corporate governance of private enterprises and services for MSMEs yesterday. At the symposium, SSE President Zhang Yujun said that the SSE had recently formulated the "SSE Outline of Services for Micro, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises" based on a wide-ranging survey for the purpose of giving play to its advantages and taking effective measures to serve the real economy and the development of MSMEs.
According to the outline, the SSE establishes a mentor system for the growth of MSMEs. It sets up a mentor group comprised of the selected entrepreneurs with social influences and senses of social responsibility from listed companies, which provides MSMEs with consultation services for technologies, systems and management as well as personnel training and other services. Thus, a platform for the communication between listed companies and MSMEs takes shape.
It is innovative for the SSE to establish the mentor system.
According to sources, the SSE initiatively selected Chairmen or Presidents from 32 private listed companies to serve as mentors for the growth of MSMEs. At the symposium yesterday, the SSE held a ceremony for the appointment of 32 mentors.
Relying on the mentor group, the SSE will build a team of experts and hold lectures, forums and other activities to offer startups consulting, legal aid and other training services for MSMEs. Besides, it will launch the program of one-to-one support from mentors to MSMEs.
As stated in the outline, the SSE will work out some measures to elevate the proportion of direct financing for MSMEs.
To be specific, the SSE will simplify the procedures for approval of MSMEs' direct financing and elevate the proportion of direct financing for them. Secondly, it will give support to MSMEs for their issuance of private placement bonds. Thirdly, it will guide the venture capital investments and private equity funds for the investment in MSMEs. Fourthly, it will coordinate with relevant authorities to promote the construction of an over-the-counter market with unified regulation and provide micro and small enterprises not meeting the listing requirements with the services of resource distribution in the capital market. Fifthly, it will join hands with all related parties for propelling MSMEs to implement the shareholding reform and finance in the capital market.
Meanwhile, the SSE plans to improve the special section for pre-IPO enterprises on the external website. Besides, it will set up a special section for MSMEs, in which relevant contents in line with the characteristics of MSMEs will be increased to satisfy MSMEs' demands for more information about financing channels in the capital market. Furthermore, the SSE will make more efforts on the survey on MSMEs, regularly release relevant research reports, timely analyze the development trend of MSMEs, and continuously improve the pertinence and effectiveness of measures for solving the financing problems of MSMEs.
Zhang Yujun pointed out that serving MSMEs was of great importance to the development of the SSE's markets.
At present, the SSE has established a multi-tiered blue chip market system centered with blue chip shares in promising, rising and typical companies. As the Chinese economy is at the critical stage of structural adjustment, development mode transition and steady growth, the SSE is confronted with an important task about how to better support the development of the real economy. Having devoted itself to pushing forward the transition and listing of large state-owned enterprises in the decade before 2010, the SSE now faces a most important task, that is, to further promote listed companies' restructuring, improve their quality, advance the diversification of their structures and encourage small and medium-sized enterprises, rising enterprises and enterprises in the industries with products in short supply, the industries related to the people's livelihood, the cultural and creative industry, the education and media industry, the agricultural and food industry and the modern service industry for listing on the SSE. The SSE will offer services for both traditional large and medium-sized enterprises and MSMEs, and encourage more small and medium-sized enterprises to enter the SSE markets.
Zhang said that it was a try and innovation for the SSE to set up the mentor system for the growth of MSMEs based on the actual conditions of the Chinese capital market to better serve MSMEs.
Small and medium-sized enterprises play a prominent role in the Chinese economic development and transition. Therefore, it is of strategic significance to boost the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises for the sound and sustainable development of the national economy.
Data shows that there are over ten million small and medium-sized enterprises in China, accounting for 99% of all the Chinese enterprises. Their contributions to tax revenue, GDP, national self-independent innovation and employment account for 50%, 60%, 70% and 80% of the total respectively, which indicates their crucial role in the national economy. In April 2012, the State Council issued the opinions on further supporting the sound development of MSMEs in particular. The China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) also took it as a strategic move to serve MSMEs for better supporting the national economic development, which worked together with relevant national authorities to successively issue many measures for the development of MSMEs.
For example, the private placement of bonds for SMEs recently is an important move for the SSE to serve MSMEs.
According to Zhang, the SMEs private placement bonds go on well on the SSE up to now. As of July 4, the SSE has accepted the filing applications of 25 MSMEs for private placement bonds and approved the filing of 21 MSMEs for the bond issuance. A total of 11 enterprises have issued the private placement bonds while another one is supplementing materials, one being examined and two refused. These MSMEs cover Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Hubei, with the total amount for filing up to RMB1,935 million. Among 21 enterprises whose issuance were approved, 11 enterprises are high-tech ones.
At the end, Zhang emphasized that the SSE, as an organizer of the markets, would follow the established scheme and provide MSMEs with good platforms for financing and information services in terms of the stock market, the bond market and the corporate governance. Moreover, it will renew its efforts to mobilize the market participants, including relevant authorities of local governments and intermediaries, to provide MSMEs with good services for their restructuring, financing and management.
As said by SSE Vice President Huang Hongyuan at the symposium yesterday, the SSE had paid attention to private enterprises especially MSMEs which encountered increasing cost, heavy taxes and difficulty in financing with the influence of the complicated and changeable economic situation at home and abroad.
To support the growth of MSMEs and help them with reinforced rationalization is an objective requirement for establishing and improving the SSE multi-tiered blue chip market. It is a move by the SSE to establish the mentor system for the growth of MSMEs based on a wide-ranging survey in a bid to expand the coverage of the SSE capital market to MSMEs and better serve the real economy.
Actually, some listed companies take the initiative to help MSMEs, some of which have benefited a lot. At the symposium held yesterday, Board Chairman Chen Qiyu of Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical (Group) Co., Ltd. mentioned Fosun's ways of supporting MSMEs as follows. Firstly, Fosun establishes business relationships with MSMEs. Secondly, Fosun directly establishes MSMEs. Thirdly, Fosun develops those similar to the Private Equity business. Fosun summarized that the supports provided by large enterprises for MSMEs could not only lower their financing costs and elevate their competitive forces, but also improve their corporate governance and enhance their capabilities in risk control and other aspects.
After highly acknowledging the SSE's assistance to MSMEs, the private enterprises present at the symposium expressed that the sound development of MSMEs is of great significance to the long-term growth of the Chinese economy and the Chinese capital market. Board Chairman Zheng Yonggang of Shanshan Investment Holding Co., Ltd. said that as the experience of large enterprises is helpful for startup-oriented MSMEs, the large enterprises should take on the responsibility of boosting the development of these MSMEs. Board Chairman Zhang Hongwei of Orient Group Incorporation, in addition to expecting the SSE's launch of specific measures, suggested that efforts should be made to support MSMEs in light of different industry chains, rather than arrange "marriages" for large enterprises and MSMEs.

Bo Guagua, center, receives an award after being named one of 10 outstanding Chinese young persons in the UK at a ceremony in London in May 2009. (File photo/CNS)
US$557 million is being sought in a Hong Kong lawsuit brought by Deutsche Bank against a Dalian business magnate on a defaulted loan linked to the money laundering activities of disgraced former Chongqing Communist Party chief Bo Xilai, reports the Sound of Hope, a global non-profit news organization reportedly affiliated with the Falun Gong spiritual movement that is banned in China.
According to a Sound of Hope source, the missing funds are currently under the control of Bo's 25-year-old son Bo Guagua, who has remained in the United States following his graduation from Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government. Bo Guagua's mother Gu Kailai was last year given a suspended death sentence for the murder of British businessman Neil Heywood, while his father awaits a criminal trial for offenses including corruption and abuse of power.
Last November, Deutsche Bank sued a company registered in the British Virgin Islands under Fu Yanbin, a Forbes-listed real estate tycoon from Dalian in northeastern China's Liaoning province, after Fu's company defaulted on the loan worth around HK$4.3 billion (US$557 million), inclusive of accumulated interest. The loan had reportedly been set up in December 2007 and was restructured in March 2011.
Deutsche Bank took action after Fu's company defaulted on its first repayment of US$74.4 million last June. According to the source, the loan repayments ran into difficulties following Bo's dramatic fall from grace last March.
Fu was detained by the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection at around the same time Bo was stripped of his primary party posts, along with Xu Ming, another wealthy Dalian businessman linked to illegal economic activities during Bo's time as mayor of the port city between 1992 and 2000.
The 48-year-old Fu attended Peking University, where he became friends with fellow alumni Bo and Gu. He started his business in Dalian around the time Bo became mayor and made a fortune by taking full advantage of Bo's power and influence. He began investing in the southwestern metropolis of Chongqing in 2009, some two years after Bo was appointed the local party chief.
Part of the reason Deutsche Bank was willing to lend such a large sum of money to Fu's company is because of Bo's close ties to Huaxia Bank, which is 20% owned by Deutsche Bank, the source said.
Deutsche Bank knows it cannot recover the funds from the legally registered lender because it is essentially a shell company, but it is trying to go through other diplomatic channels to access Fu's assets in Beijing and Chongqing, which would be more than sufficient to pay off the debt, the source added.
Fu is said to be under close surveillance by the party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection while he "assists" with their investigations. He was briefly seen in public last October and his future remains in the balance while the authorities complete their case against Bo.

So much for the season of goodwill to all man.
That certainly counts for nothing between warring rivals in the smartphone business, if the following tweet is to be believed.
Yes, Microsoft's official Windows Phone account clearly thinks that spreading stories about Android phones suffering from malware equates to better sales of Windows Phones. Just in time for Christmas! Kerrching!
Need more convincing? Just take a look at what Microsoft's Windows Phone was saying yesterday (with a generous plug for the newly-published Sophos Threat Report):
Readers of Naked Security will remember that Microsoft tried the same tactics last December, where it first started using the hashtag #droidrage.
Back then, Microsoft was offering free Windows Phones as prizes for the "best (worst?) stories" of Android malware mayhem.
This time the company hasn't been so clear as to exactly what goodies might be up for grabs. (I hope for your sake it's not a free Microsoft Surface RT. Tum ti tum...)
Seriously though, there clearly is a growing malware problem for Android devices. It's nothing like as bad as the one hitting Windows desktop computers, but it's a less safe place to be than on an iPhone or a Windows Phone.
Having been on the receiving end of abuse over virus-infected Windows computers for so many years, can you really blame Microsoft for wanting to put the boot on the other foot for once?Follow @NakedSecurity

Checkerboard Planned For Final Men's Basketball Home Game
OMAHA, Neb. -- After doing both a "White-Out" and "Blue-Out" in home games earlier this year, Creighton men's basketball is looking to step it up another level and asking its fans to participate in a blue and white "Checkerboard" for Saturday's regular-season home finale vs. Northern Iowa. That game tips off at 1:05 pm and will be televised by Fox Sports Net.
Fans that sit in even-numbered sections of the lower bowl should wear blue, while odd-numbered sections should wear white.
For fans that sit in the upper-bowl, even-numbered sections are asked to wear white, while odd-numbered sections are blue.
Those seated in the Creighton student section are asked to wear blue shirts.
Creighton will honor its five seniors, Darryl Ashford, Casey Harriman, Kaleb Korver, Kenny Lawson Jr. and Wayne Runnels, following the game.
Examples of other schools to have successfully done a "Checkerboard" game can be found here (Tennessee) or here (Iowa).
LOWER BOWL - Even-numbered sections are blue. Odd-numbered sections are white.
UPPER BOWL - Even-numbered sections are white. Odd-numbered sections are blue.
CU STUDENT SECTION - Students need to wear blue shirts.

Dark Shadows, the 131-disc DVD set

Dark Shadows, the 131-disc DVD set
As Bart Simpson would say, Ay Carumba!
MPI is releasing a 131-disc DVD set of the complete original Dark Shadows TV series. That's 1,225 episodes.
If that's not a record, I don't know what is.
Here's the original press release:
Originally scheduled for release on May 8, TV Shows on DVD reports today that the release date has been pushed back to July 10. No reason is given, though I bet it probably has to do with the logistics of doing quality control on 1,225 episodes!
As one who actually considered buying the complete Law & Order set, and who might invest one day in a complete Simpsons set, and who would jump at buying a complete Doctor Who if that were ever possible, I can't fault Dark Shadows fans wanting all 1,225 episodes. But man ... that's a lot of TV!
"These are historical documents - preserving them is important. Tarting them up for a night out in the twenty-first century is unnecessary" - Toby Hadoke, "Should mistakes in old episodes of Doctor Who be fixed on DVD" (Doctor Who Magazine #445)

Read: The Brad Richards, Ryan Callahan, Rick Nash Line
The line of Brad Richards, between Rick Nash and Ryan Callahan, has only one goal between them since Nash returned to the lineup last Tuesday and none at even strength.
The trio has combined for 60 shot attempts in the three games and 31 on goal.
In the three games they played together, the Rangers had the following percentage of shot attempts when they were on the ice at even strength:
- Nashville: 75% of the time
- Dallas: 43%
- Boston: 57%
Callahan told the Daily News that the line is "close" and that it's only a matter of time before things start to "open up" for the Rangers.
In the NY Post, Nash and Richards spoke about how much better they feel when playing together this season than when they did last season.
Adam Rotter: There would be concern if the trio wasn't getting chances when they were on the ice, but they are and they have looked good since being put together. As Nash continues to get better and Callahan, who only has two goals since returning from his broken thumb, finds his stride, the line will start to score. Richards, who is pointless in four games and only has one goal this month, is shooting the puck and creating chances but needs to convert. One of these games coming up will see the line breakout and hopefully get them going on a consistent basis .

The IV did not enter my vein,but my tissue, so I was awake and screamed and choked my way through the endoscopy. the nurse asked if he wanted to do it over(reposition the IV) and he just said that "I was getting SOME".How can you let someone suffer because you can't be bothered to start over.

Inscribed on the Liberty Bell is, "Proclaim liberty throughout the land unto all the inhabitants thereof" (Lev. 25:10). The next verse reads, "It shall be a jubilee unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto his family."
As our government reaches ever further into our wallets with corporate buyouts and printing even more money, greater burdens are heaped upon our collective backs. American taxpayers will now carry the debt loads of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, making us slaves of debt we never agreed to pay.
If we were to view our government optimistically, we could view it as leading by example, reminding us that forgiveness is the only way out of the failed obligations of others. Yet it is radical — is it not — that our leaders actually called for the forgiveness of debt? On the other hand, as a nation that professes to be Christian, that is exactly what Jesus taught his followers to do.
The Lord's Prayers says, "… forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors…" This passage is reverently spoken by most Christians–ostensibly 85% of the American population, and reminds them to forgive those that lie, steal, hurt, cheat, kill and to forgive even the worst of sins: choosing to serve power and money over God. In other words, the Lord's Prayer is a reminder that we are called to forgive even the people who run our government.
According to Christian teachings, the foundation of the "good news" is built upon Christ's gospel of forgiveness, but to apply this lesson to the pending onslaught of American financial crisis and ruin, how can the forgiveness of such massive debt carry with it any "good news?"
If we have to ask, perhaps our currency should replace the inscription, "In God We Trust" with "Oh Ye of Little Faith!"
The Chinese word for crisis, weiji, is comprised of both wei (danger) and ji (opportunity/crucial point). As "our" government leads us into the brink of impending economic crisis–widely recognized as having been exacerbated by funding illegal wars, the added danger is that "our" representatives have called for the forgiveness of these massive debts. At this crucial point, we the people have the opportunity to expect the same forgiveness of our fellow homeowners' debts, but will we have the faith to plead on behalf of them?
If we were to risk being completely honest with ourselves, what is there to forgive after all? If the US dollar is backed by nothing but faith, don't we really only have to forgive each other for our collective–albeit misguided–faith? If the US dollar is created out of thin air–and it most certainly is–then isn't all that stands between the American taxpayers and their debtors just a little bad faith?
If America is a land which values the Rule of Law and the Constitutional principles upon which it was founded, then we would seek to preserve the interests of the individual over such corporate interests and should thus call for our leaders to forgive our debts as we have, in effect, forgiven our corporate debtors.
In the words of Paul Wellstone, "If we don't fight hard enough for the things we stand for, at some point we have to recognize that we don't really stand for them."
So what does America stand for?
Are we really a Christian nation that stands on the tenets of forgiveness and "To do unto others as we would first have done to us?"
It is at this moment that we may hold the golden key to living on earth as it is in heaven. If is is the truth that will set us free, may we have the faith to seek it.
Congress has just acted to aid 400,000 households in foreclosure, of an estimated 2,500,000 this year and 3,000,000 in 2009. If we don't do better than this for families who were lured into a trap designed for the profit of others, what can be our claim to virtue–Christian or otherwise?

Residents allowed in to retrieve belongings after deadly twister
GRANBURY, Texas
Residents whose homes were torn apart or blown away by a deadly North Texas tornado can soon return to retrieve what belongings may be left and start cleaning up, authorities said Friday.
In Granbury, the area hardest hit by Wednesday night's exceptionally strong tornado, workers are trying to restore water service, raise electrical lines and clear debris piles filled with insulation, roof tiles, pieces of carpet, a shoe, a teddy bear, a woman's purse.
Hood County Sheriff Roger Deeds said authorities will only allow residents of the Rancho Brazos Estates neighborhood back in to survey things starting this morning.
But Jerry Shuttlesworth won't be one of them. He doesn't know where his mobile home ended up, but he finally has his only treasured possession: his bull-terrier mix, Junior, who had been missing since the tornado that left six people dead swept through the city 40 miles southwest of Fort Worth.
Shuttlesworth, 53, broke three bones in his foot and suffered a 2-inch gash in his forehead.
Friends helped spread the word about his dog through social media. On Friday, someone found Junior and took him to a shelter, where a worker called Shuttlesworth.
"You could call it a miracle," he said. "He's scratched up and a little traumatized, but he's eating. He's my baby. I don't care about anything else."
Gov. Rick Perry and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on Friday toured Granbury, which bore the brunt of the damage during Wednesday's outbreak of 16 tornadoes in North Texas.
Perry said the devastation is almost incomprehensible. Abbott urged residents to be cautious of those who might try to scam them as they rebuild.
The National Weather Service said Friday that the Granbury tornado was an EF-4, based on the Fujita tornado damage scale. Winds in an EF-4 tornado are between 166 and 200 mph. An EF-5 is the most severe.
Earlier Friday, the Hood County Sheriff's Office said the death toll is unlikely to change, as those who were reported missing were with relatives or friends and are safe.
Workers on Friday cleared debris in nearby Cleburne, where a tornado cut a mile-wide path through part of the city Wednesday and damaged about 600 homes. The weather service said it was an EF-3, which has winds between 136 and 165 mph. No deaths or severe injuries were reported.
Meanwhile, in Alabama, a possible tornado knocked down trees, flipped Dumpsters and damaged the roof of a nearby Walmart.
A forecaster at the National Weather Service in Huntsville said the suspected tornado started about a mile south-southeast of Athens and moved in a line toward southwest Ardmore. It struck at about 2 p.m. Friday.
Athens Police Chief Floyd Johnson said that he saw the backside of a wall cloud that had a tail. Police followed as it moved up Route 31 to Interstate 65.
He said a minor injury was reported as a woman rushed to find shelter. Signs at a strip mall and a Zaxby's restaurant were also blown down.
A second tornado was reported in southeast Morgan County about 3:40 p.m., but no reports of damage have been made.

2 more cases of dengue fever confirmed in Martin County
Martin County – The Florida Department of Health in Martin County today confirmed two additional cases of dengue fever, bringing the total to 20 locally acquired cases in the Rio and Jensen Beach area.
These two cases were confirmed following routine surveillance and were not part of the current community survey.
"In order to stop the spread of dengue fever, we must stop the mosquito bites," said Karlette Peck, health officer, Florida Department of Health in Martin County.
"We urge everyone in the Rio and Jensen Beach area to take this seriously. Simple precautions, such as the use of mosquito repellent will help to keep residents and visitors healthy. This is especially important when people are working outside or are active in and around their homes. It is also critical that people continue to drain standing water in anything that accumulates water around their homes."
Of the cases, 13 are Martin County residents, two non-Florida residents, one Palm Beach County resident and four St. Lucie County residents who visited Martin County.
On Friday, the Florida Department of Health launched a community survey to learn more about the extent of dengue fever in the area. Health department field teams continue to work in the Rio and Jensen Beach area providing prevention information, a risk assessment survey and with consent, doing a blood draw for dengue testing. The door to door survey is expected to continue through this week.
A similar survey was conducted in Key West during the 2009 outbreak there, which provided valuable data for prevention and control.
Mosquito Control efforts in Martin County have been extensive, but residents must take action themselves to eliminate mosquito breeding on their property.
The Florida Department of Health advises the public to remain diligent in their personal mosquito protection efforts.

Friday night's KDWB Jingle Ball lost some of its luster today with the departure of hip-hop star Kanye West from its lineup.
"Due to a family matter, Kanye West has been forced to cancel his performance at the KDWB Jingle Ball 2007," read a press release from his record label. "He wants to thank his fans for their understanding and support at this time. He hopes to come back at the first possible opportunity."
West's mother Donda died unexpectedly Nov. 10 due to complications from a tummy tuck and breast reduction surgery. West did, however, perform several European concerts at the end of November. He also picked up eight Grammy nominations this morning, more than any other artist this year.
"American Idol" runner-up Blake Lewis has been added to the Jingle Ball, which is scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday at the Target Center. He'll appear alongside Avril Lavigne, Timbaland, Good Charlotte and Jordin Sparks. The Target Center did not announce a return policy for tickets.

Meet Emily Trudell, one of our WHE interns who spent a few months last year working with our partner organization APYN in Mwanza, Tanzania. While there, her primary goal became to work with APYN on a strategic planning process, involving the development of a coherent framework to guide APYN's operations.
As a WHE intern, Emily not only absorbed the wonderful Tanzanian culture - including all the sights, smells and sounds of her new environment - but she also cultivated a willingness to learn from the expertise of others.
"A local Tanzanian peer recently described knowledge like this: you may know 2 things, and I may know 5, but together, we each know 7 things. It is a simple concept, yet it requires the willingness to cooperate, share and learn how others think. This is definitely how I view my time here in Mwanza (aka Rock City), Tanzania, as an intern with Western Heads East, working with the newly established NGO, African Probiotic Yogurt Network (APYN)."
Check out Emily's blog thebeautyfulones.wordpress.com for more details about her trip.

Shannon Crowder, one of our student interns, recently spent her summer in Mwanza, Tanzania.
Upon arrival, she had the opportunity to work with APYN on their business development, finance plan and marketing strategies. She was actively involved in quality control, visiting individual kitchens and collecting samples to observe any variances in the yoghurt produced by each kitchen. She also discussed ways in which individual kitchens could improve upon their practices on a case by case basis to ensure consistent quality of yoghurt.
While there, Shannon immersed herself in the surrounding culture and used her business knowledge to give back to the community that was so welcoming to her:
"Y2K kitchen has also requested to have someone come and help them with their English and business skills. Since this falls right into my area of interest, teaching and business, I am excited for the opportunity! I am going to try and arrange to meet with them at least once a week to work together on these skills. I think it will be a great opportunity for both of us!"

Olivia recently spent her summer in Rwanda. Having already been to Mwanza between January and May in 2010, Rwanda presented a new and exciting experience for Olivia.
She spent much of her trip at Les Enfants de Dieu, a nonprofit organization that seeks to improve the lives of young street children, specifically boys, and discourages street drug use.
For example, Olivia and her fellow intern Patrick participated in a marathon with them "Sport as a tool in a fight against drug abuse."
"Patrick and I decided to enter into the Semi-marathon (21 km). In the so-called 'Land of a Thousand Hills', I knew I was up for a challenge. It was definitely a difficult, hilly course. The course operated as a 10 km loop-repeat. I'm happy to be able to say that we both finished!!!"

Megan Enos is a Master's student studying maternal nutrition and its effect on infant health.
She is studying undernourished pregnant mothers, and whether or not probiotic yoghurt can improve the nutritional health of their infants.
Megan's research will be very beneficial in deciding who the probiotic yogurt should target. After spending over 6 months in Tanzania, she has learned a great deal about life in Eastern Africa.
One example she talks about, is trying to get on the dala dala, or city bus, in the crowded streets of Buswelu.
"Missy had warned me that it can get quite crazy in Buswelu as the dala dala's are not that frequent and people will do whatever they can to get on. I sensed that this was going to happen as the dala dala approached and the crowds got bigger, so I threw away my North American politeness and respect of personal space, stuck out my elbows and muscled (and I mean muscled) my way onto the dala dala. Even on the bus there is no such thing as personal space as I was crammed up against one women, with my elbow in the face of another women due to my hand finding a small spot on the side of the dala dala to keep my balance, and another three people pressing (and I mean pressing, seriously it was like being in a rugby scrum) up behind me"

After spending some time in Haiti as the Project and Engineering Consultant with the organization The Joy and Hope of Haiti, Patrick arrived in Rwanda. His goal was to research the plausibility of setting up a new kitchen in Rwanda.
The previous experience in Haiti greatly prepared him for his time in Rwanda, researching the plausibility of setting up a kitchen in the small nation. As he explains
"Whether its Haitian children pointing at me and yelling "Blanco" or Rwandan children (and sometimes adults) pointing at me and yelling "Muzungu", I've gotten used to being singled out because of my skin colour.
I remember being annoyed by this the entire time I was in Haiti, as well as the first few weeks I was here in Rwanda, but I've somewhat come to peace with it (though it still annoys me). I guess the big thing was to realize that there were no overtly racist undertones meant by this, but instead that it is more of a cultural thing."

It was because of Blake and his fellow intern Gillian that the North Maragoli project was such a success. Not only did he overcome the infrastructural obstacles, he faced his own personal and cultural dilemmas with poise and courage. His regular blogging kept his followers enthralled as he exposed the many challenges of living in a foreign country every day.
"It is such a moral dilemma when someone asks you for money and you are unable and then they get angry or upset when you refuse. The frequency that this occurred yesterday is the inspiration for this post. We came home frustrated and felt as if people only see us as a way to get something. I am not saying that this is the case for everyone, but it is how we felt after such an exhausting day."

Elissa Riel is spending her summer in Nairobi Kenya as part of her Master's in Education, focusing on Counseling Education. As a student, she has experienced firsthand, the obstacles in getting an education in Africa.
All assignments are expected to be typed, yet few students have a computer. The internet connection is slow, if available at all, yet required for research.
Despite these obstacles, Ellissa has been able to communicate with the students and dispel many stereotypes. For example, Elissa explains that:
"Most Kenyans are very interested in learning about my lifestyle in Canada. I've spent a considerable amount of time trying to minimize some of the stereotypes they have of white people. They think every White is rich, carefree, possibly lazy, and without problems. I had to explain to one Kenyan, who is an educated university student, that we also have problems with domestic violence."
She thought that these 'primitive issues' only occurred in Africa. She was so shocked to hear that such things happened in the 'developed world'.

Gillian spent this past summer in North Maragoli Kenya setting up a brand new kitchen. She and fellow intern Blake Barkley faced many challenges in the set up. From a lack of electricity and running water, to cultural misunderstandings, Gillian and Blake had a lot to overcome.
Perhaps the most influential part of the trip however was their experience talking with the people affected by HIV/AIDS. As Gillian puts it:
"I've never met someone with HIV before, but in this group of about 20 or so, almost all of them were HIV positive. When you think that this is just a small group of women in a rural area of East Africa, the reality of HIV and AIDS in this part of the world starts to become clear."

Meet student intern Kathryn. In Mwanza, Tanzania she had the opportunity to assist with implementing yoghurt marketing strategies and nutritional development.
She was involved with testing the probiotic yoghurt fortified with a highly nutritious local plant called moringa. Kathryn also did some sensory testing to learn about the acceptability in Tanzanian culture of consuming moringa in the probiotic yoghurt.
When added in amounts to confer the maximum health benefits, the moringa yoghurt has more of the consistency of a dip. The next step will be to look at local uses of this dip with chapattis and other foods. Read about her internship with the WHE project here.
"Marketing of the yoghurt would be greatly helped by increasing brand recognition, so even having some with labels could help spread the word." - Kathryn
