There's more reasons to miss Borders in the United States- their willingness to stand up for their employees and their dedication to the freedom to read.
The manager of a Borders bookstore in Malaysia has been charged with distributing a book by controversial writer Irshad Manji.
A statement by the owners, published on the Borders Malaysia official Facebook page on Wednesday, in support of the manager has gone viral.
Nik Raina Nik Abdul Aziz, 36, from the Borders store at The Gardens Mall, in Mid Valley City, was charged on June 19 in the Shariah High Court with distributing "Allah, Liberty and Love," which was published in June 2011.
The charge, under Section 13(1) of Shariah Criminal Offences Act (Federal Territories) 1997, carries a fine of up to $1,200 or up to two years in prison, or both, upon conviction.
Following the charge against Aziz, Borders Malaysia Chief Operating Officer, Yau Su Peng, expressed the company's disappointment over the accusation by the Federal Territory Islamic Affairs Department (Jawi).
Peng said Aziz had "done no more than perform her duties as a store manager and that she did not have influence or control over the selection of books at Borders."
Peng also contended that the raid on the bookstore was made at a time when the book had not been banned, and that there was no prior notification or warning to Borders prior to the raid that any book was in question.
The statement can be read, in its entirety, on the Borders corporate website.
The agency had banned the book on the grounds that it contains elements which "misleads the public," is "detrimental to public order," and is against Shariah law as prescribed in the Qur'an and Hadith.
The owners have instructed employees, both Muslim and non-Muslim, to assist JAWI with its investigations, despite the company not being subject to the jurisdiction of JAWI, as it is a non-Muslim entity.
No plea was recorded Tuesday against Aziz. She has been granted bail and the next court date is set for September 19.
Her lawyer, Rosli Dahlan, said the shop has filed a lawsuit to declare the raid illegal because Islamic officials raided the store before the book ban was officially announced. Rosli reinforced that Aziz had no authority over deciding which books the store sells and is being singled out because those in charge of merchandising were Chinese non-Muslims. Non-Muslims cannot be charged in Islamic courts, which run parallel to the country's civil courts and administer civil matters for Muslims.
Manji released the book, together with a Malay-language translation, at an event in Kuala Lumpur on May 19 amid criticism by Muslims.
Her previous internationally-acclaimed book, "The Trouble with Islam Today," is already banned in Malaysia, where books are frequently banned, especially those deemed obscene or against Islamic teachings.
New York-based Human Rights Watch has called on the government to reverse the book ban, saying it was "old-fashioned state repression" and "cowardly."
Irshad Manji, who was born in Uganda and moved to Canada at the age of 4, is a supporter of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) movement.
Manji describes her book, Allah, Liberty and Love, as being about "how to reconcile faith and freedom in a world seething with repressive dogmas."
She says that the ban "is an insult to a new generation of Malaysians. Censorship treats citizens like children. Censorship denies human beings their free will to think for themselves."
"The irony is that this book makes the case for faith. It empowers readers to reconcile Allah and freedom, showing that Muslims can be independent thinkers and profound believers in a loving God," she added.
Allah, Liberty and Love "paves a path for Muslims and non-Muslims to transcend the fears that stop so many of us from living with honest-to- God integrity: the fear of offending others in a multicultural world as well as the fear of questioning our own communities."
One of the most vocal Muslim reformers today, Manji draws on her experience in the trenches to share stories that are often touching, frequently funny, and always revealing. The book discusses such topics as what scares non-Muslims, liberal voices within Islam, honor killings, and how people forgo dogma while still keeping faith. Above all, it shows how each of us can embark on a personal journey toward moral courage and have the willingness to speak up even when everybody else wants to shut you up.

Death Knights are in the unique position of being open to every race (Warriors can choose any race but Blood Elf). This means you will have a lot of options for trying to pick the best racial bonuses for your new DK; complicating the matter is the fact that DKs can both tank and DPS. Milkgas, of Anvilmar (US), recently wrote in with the opinion that Dwarves would be optimal for a tanking DK, due to their frost resistance (speculating that frost will be prevalent in Wrath). But let's go over the options (listing only the racials that seem relevant to DKs):
- Horde:
- Orc: Blood Fury would be handy for DPS, not so good for tanks; Hardiness, on the other hand, would be nice, if not essential, for a tank to have; and Axe Specialization is helpful, given that axes will be available for DKs to use as rune weapons (as well as swords and maces)
- Tauren: War Stomp is great for PvP. Endurance is probably the best overall tanking racial out of all the races. And Nature Resistance will probably be handy somewhere, though it's not a huge deal.
- Troll: Berserking is a useful, if occasional, boost.
- Forsaken: I still contend that Will of the Forsaken is overpowered. May certainly come in handy while tanking, and of course in PvP. Shadow Resistance, like Nature Resistance, is a marginal benefit.
- Blood Elf: It remains to be seen how the Mana Tap/Arcane Torrent system will work with DKs' Runic Power, but this has the potential to be very useful. Magic Resistance is, numerically, stronger than any other race's inherent resistance - you wind up with 25 points of resistance overall.
- Alliance:
- Dwarf: Stoneform can be very useful to remove certain debuffs while tanking. If Frost ends up being a major damage type in Wrath, Frost Resistance might be the best inherent resistance to have, though this is still a small amount.
- Gnome: Escape Artist is lovely for PvP. Also Arcane Resistance.
- Human: Diplomacy is very pleasant to have in late-game PvE for faction grinding. Sword and Mace Specialization will both be usable to the Death Knight.
- Night Elf: Quickness is good for a tank. Nature Reistance again, too.
- Draenei: Gift of the Naaru is especially useful given that the DK is not a healing class (with the exception of various talented abilities like Blood Tap). As far as I know, it has not yet been revealed whether Draenei DKs will get Heroic Presence or Inspiring Presence, but either would be helpful. And Shadow Resistance, woo.
So which is best? My vote would be Orc for DPS, Tauren for tanking on the Horde side; and Human or Draenei for either role on the Alliance side. There are, of course, many reasons to choose a race other than racial bonuses, which after all tend to be fairly minor in the long run, but if you really can't decide, this might help give one race the edge. What race are you going to make your DK?

This increased rigidity not only improves trigger pull but also will improve overall functioning as it will prevent any binding or interference that can be found on the prior design and factory design. This is due, in part, to variances in the factory frame tolerances.

Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, a historic town in Jefferson County. It is at the junction of the Shenandoah and Potomac rivers, which cut through a gorge of the Blue Ridge Mountains here. The town is at the extreme eastern tip of West Virginia, about 49 miles (79 km) northwest of Washington, D.C.
Harpers Ferry was founded about 1747. A federal armory and arsenal were built here in 1796. Because of these facilities, John Brown in 1859 chose the town as a base of operations in his attempt to free the slaves of the South. Strategic Harpers Ferry changed hands repeatedly in the Civil War. On September 15, 1862, a Union garrison of 11,500 men surrendered to Confederates led by General "Stonewall" Jackson. Harpers Ferry National Historic Site commemorates John Brown's raid and the Civil War battle. The town was badly damaged in the war, and the federal installations were not rebuilt.
Population: 307.

And to think, it almost did not happen.
It was by chance that Janet Freniere's track career started. Sure, her husband Al had been a long time track and field coach and was an avid runner, competing in a number of meets annually, but Janet was not one for athletics. She had not even given them much time or thought since her formative years, even if she was the fastest girl in her class.
She had not given them much though that is until one Sunday about 10 years ago when she was in New Hampshire to watch Al compete. On the morning of the race, for no real reason in particular, Al convinced Janet to enter.
Unprepared as she was, no spikes, no blocks, no proper running attire, Janet went for it, if only to see how she would do.
She won.
She was 64 at the time.
"I always came to the meets and everyone would always say to me, 'What do you do? What do you do?' And I'd say, 'I watch him,'" said Janet of the birth of her track career. "Then one day up in New Hampshire, it was a very bad weather day and [Al] suggested I run. It was a miserable, rainy day, I had jeans on, nothing I should be running in, and I beat everybody. That got me going.
"I hadn't run since first grade. The teacher would line us up on the fence every recess when it was good weather and we'd have to run way over to the other side. I always beat everybody and I never gave it another thought all those years. I was busy with the children and working and everything. When [Al] started I would accompany him, but never really thought about it until he said it that time in New Hampshire, 'give it a try.'"
A decade later and Freniere is still running, having carved out quite the career for herself since that meet in New Hampshire. Between her 10 and Al's 20 years competing in the Senior Olympics, the Freniere's have "lots and lots and lots of medals at home," according to Janet, acquired from competing in meets against local, national and international talent at events all across the country. And for Janet, it is a career that just keeps getting better.
With wins in the Ocean State Senior Olympics in June, Janet qualified for the 2013 National Senior Games, hosted this year in Cleveland, OH, from July 19 to August 1. It was her fourth time qualifying for the national event.
After finishing ninth two years in a row, Janet had her best performance to date at the nationals in Cleveland. She reached the finals for the first time, advancing in the 50 and 100m races – she also participated in the 200m event – earning her first ribbons with a sixth place finish in the 50m and seventh in the 100m. Al and Janet also served as the flag bearers for the start of Rhode Island at the Games.
"This was her year, she did great," said Al, who also competed in Cleveland, but injured a hamstring on the first day of competition. "She went against some people from all over the world.
"She's getting better and better. …She's come a long way. I'm very proud of her."
Despite being at an age when so much of the population starts to slow down, with the exception of both having to give up competing in the javelin throw in recent years because of shoulder injuries, the couple has no intentions to stop competing any time soon. Just this past weekend, the Freniere's were back where it all began, up in New Hampshire for the Granite State Senior Olympics. Though the hamstring injury suffered in Cleveland kept Al from competing in his customary 50, 100, 200 and 400m races, as well as long and triple jump events, Janet shined, taking home gold in the 50, 100 and 200m races.
The winning, however, is not what keeps driving the Freniere's to push themselves and continue track careers they hope last "until we're 89, maybe," according to Janet. They understand the importance of continuing to stay active in life and challenge themselves. The Senior Olympics are their way of keeping that healthy lifestyle, and hope continued growth of Rhode Island's two events – the Ocean State Senior Olympics and Rhode Island Tides Senior Games – will help more people join them on that path, even if it means they have to face stiffer competition.
"It's not so much winning and losing," Al said. "It's finishing the race, getting out and doing your exercise and enjoying life and meeting people."
"It's just plain fun," said Janet, while her husband continued, "It also keeps us in shape, keeps our energy up.
"It's good to get out there and run, especially because we are running together now. …The reason we go out is we keep in shape and because we love to run."

However, there is one type of market timing that I agree with. It's call secular market timing. The word secular is derived from the Latin word saecularis meaning of a generation, belonging to an age. A secular market includes many bull and bear markets within in one large generational move, in which valuations move from one extreme valuation to the other. These peaks and troughs occur over the long term, 25- to 35-year periods on average.

To Indiana Pacers guard Lance Stephenson, the on-court antics riling up critics are just part of his game.
"Just comes out of the blue. Just playing ball, having fun," Stephenson said in Miami, where the Pacers face a 3-2 deficit ahead of Game 6 on Friday night. "I'm just trying to win the game. That's about it."
Stephenson did his best to stay in the shirt of LeBron James in Game 5, when James wasn't sitting out because of early foul trouble, and was the central focus of screen grabs and GIFs around the globe when cameras caught him blowing in the left ear of James during a dead ball. James seemed surprised, but reacted only with a wry smile, shaking his head in befuddlement. Stephenson also stood in front of Heat coach Erik Spoelstra as he offered instructions to Norris Cole during another dead ball.
"People are in my huddle all the time," Pacers coach Frank Vogel. "Every player in the NBA does that. That's nothing. Blowing in his face probably crosses the line. That's not really who we are. We want to be a competitive team, but we don't want to cross the line."
The NBA did not comment on the incident but did fine Stephenson $10,000 for his second flopping violation of the playoffs.
Vogel said he plans to continue to mix and match defenders against James. Paul George, who flourished offensively Wednesday when Stephenson held the primary chore of checking James, and Stephenson both said Thursday they expect to get time against what will no doubt be a focused former MVP.
"LeBron's going to be LeBron. He's going to come out and play with a lot of energy," George said. "I'm sure he's got a lot built up from not playing much in Game 5. So our hands are going to be full with LeBron. We know that. It's just about challenging him, myself challenging him, and playing at the same level he's playing at."
Vogel said Stephenson will not sulk if he doesn't draw the primary assignment and keeps himself ready for any role.
"All he really cares about is doing whatever it takes to get a W. I think that's a good attribute," Vogel said.
The Heat won't change much in Game 6, after being a Chris Bosh 3-pointer away from advancing to the NBA Finals in Wednesday's loss at Indianapolis. Bosh missed an open look from the corner on a designed play that made the perimeter shot an option if the Pacers collapsed to cut off James' penetration.
Spoelstra held a practice Thursday to have his players reconnect.
"I wanted that anger and frustration and emotion today," he said, "(Friday) clear heads."
Guard Ray Allen did not practice but shot free throws and received treatment for a leg injury. He's expected to play Friday. Chris Andersen, who was deactivated for Game 5, was not ruled out for Game 6. A Heat win would push Miami to the Finals for the fourth straight season with the benefit of five days rest before the start of that series.
"When we get to (Friday), it's not about the rest. It's not about what the game means," Spoelstra said. "It's not about the context. It's not about any of that. It's about what we need to do to get tomorrow night's game.
The main thing being the main thing. Can we impose our identity on the game and play it more on our terms?
"You can't — tomorrow we can't even live in the past about the game. That's why we came in (Thursday). And you can't think about the future."

In the recent years, scientists have intensified their research in the field of nanoparticles mainly due to the innovative and unexpected results that are achieved through altering the atomic and molecular properties of various elements. This article looks into the properties and applications of vanadium oxide nanoparticles.
Vanadium forms a number of different compounds with oxygen, depending on the oxidation state of the vanadium metal. The most common of these are listed below - other stoichiometries can be found in vanadium oxide crystal phases in addition to these.
The most stable, and therefore most common, form of vanadium oxide is vanadium (V) oxide, V2O5. Vanadium (V) oxide nanoparticles are available are dispersed, high purity carbon coated and nanofluid. Vanadium belongs to Block D, Period 4 while oxygen belongs to Block P, Period 2 of the periodic table.
The following tables list the chemical properties of vanadium oxide.
Vanadium oxide nanoparticles appear in the form of a black powder having a spherical surface. The physical properties of vanadium oxide are listed below.
The thermal properties of vanadium oxide nanoparticles are as below.
Vanadium oxide is used extensively as a catalyst in many industrial chemical reactions. It is also used in the following applications:

There was a good breeze at Austin Lakes, Mandurah, for test-sailing a Mini40 RC trimaran, using all four rigs, although too windy for the number one rig.
Hydrofoiling with the Number 3 rig
Designer Ian Holt describes the remote controlled foiler's performance:
The boat foiled upwind a few times but, will make changes to the foils before I sail the boat again. When on starboard tack and foiling, the boat sometimes veers hard to port. Right now, the port foil is perfect for lighter air foiling, whilst the starboard foil works well in a breeze, but only on a reach, not on a broad reach. Clearly, there is a fine line between good and bad settings for the foils!
Whilst the mainstream of radio control yachting centres around the One Metre Class, with the RG65 gaining popularity, and 10raters, the Marbleheads and the A Class offering alternatives for faster sailing with more freedom of design, there is another less well known option – the Mini40. The class is based on the Formula 40 class established in Europe back in the 1980s, the basic parameter here being that the boat had to fit inside a 40ft container to assist with transporting between events around Europe. For the radio controlled version, a 1/10th scale was adopted, resulting in maximum dimensions of 122cm x 122cm and a maximum sail area of 0.9sq metres. This means the number one rig is slightly smaller than a 10rater top suit, so sails can be made from old 10rater rigs if needed. Interestingly the Mini40 class rules state that you can have an unmeasured jib for use in speed trials – now there's encouragement if ever it was needed to design a fast boat!
There is a mixture of cats and tris in the class. The cats are naturally lighter and so accelerate better, but you still have to work out how to support the mast and rudder – and the common solution is two rudders which add complexity to the steering control. One of the advantages of the main hull for a trimaran is that it helps tacking in light airs. More importantly, it permits the use of a single rudder which leads on to a few basic requirements for the boats. First of all, you need to stop them pitchpoling downwind. The only way to do this is to fit a 'T: foil on the bottom of the rudder, which works very much in the same way as a rear spoiler on the back of a racing car, holding the back end down. With the single rudder on a trimaran, this works well, you just need a rudder that is deep enough to keep the T foil immerse when the boat is flying the main hull, and a length of around 30cm appears to be a good compromise. The size of the T foil is found by trial and capsize. Too large and it slows the boat down but your five year old son can sail the boat safely. Too small and it pitchpoles too easily!
Sochi 2014 Paralympics logo - Sochi 2014 Paralympics
Then comes the interesting part – the foils. Some designs do not use foils, but just a single centreboard under the main hull. A cut-down One Metre fin can work well (obviously throwing out that antiquated lump of lead first). If the floats are designed with sufficient buoyancy to not bury their bows when flying two hulls, then this can be a good all-round set-up for racing round a course. Far more fun though to try hydrofoiling . . . . Here we are still in the infancy of experimentation.
Mike Dann in the UK got his Ghost Train trimaranhydrofoiling in the mid 2000s and if you search You Tube you can find some very successful experiments in France and Spain in particular in the same era, some with very small floats, but with an overall beam in excess of the length. The trick is to find a happy compromise of getting the foils far enough forward form the rudder so that there is directional stability, yet keep the balance of the centre of effort of the foils below the centre of effort of the rig so that you can still tack. If the foils are too far forward, you can not get the boat to bear away, complete a tack. I have found the solution here is to ignore a common belief that the rig on a multihull needs to be further aft than on a similar sized monohull, and instead put the foils approx. 70% away along the hull from the stern, and then place the rig above this. I also have more sail area in the jib than is popular elsewhere in the class and this appears to be working.
Once you get foiling, then the hull shape is irrelevant, we are into foil development, and that is the problem. We need more people trying out ideas! I am using cheap helicopter blades bought over the internet as the basis for my foils, but it would be great to have more people getting interested in the class and helping push forward the development of the class.
Dave Creed is avidly searching supermarket shelves for large plastic drink bottles that we can use as hulls and create cheap platforms for the rig and foils. Others use old Marblehead hulls as the main hulls.
People have asked why we don't use a similar foil design to that used by Oracle and the Kiwis in the America's Cup. The answer is that the America's Cup cat weigh proportionately much more than our Mini40s, and their foils were actively adjusted whilst sailing. The 'V' concept, where the foils are at 45 degrees to the vertical, are a happy compromise for us.
As the boat goes faster, so the additional lift form the foils causes the boat to rise out of the water, reducing the area of foil in the water, reducing the amount of lift, so the boat goes down again, and the cycle repeats
However, comparing ourselves to the aircraft industry, we are not much further on that the Wright Brothers! Undoubtedly the step-change that needs to come is for the windward foil to produce negative lift, thus holding down the boat and creating more power. We all recognise this, but it's not easy to adapt to our size of boat. Some clever guys are using the adjustable foils system perfected by the Moth class, with wands automatically adjusting a T foil on each float foil, but this is beyond my carbon and West Epoxy construction skills. Another option would be for servos to be attached to each foil, with a '+ve' and a '-ve' setting. If there is anyone out there who likes a construction challenge, I can tell them what we need!

Hi Carole, my name is Larry Rodness and I am inquiring about receiving a review on my newest YA novel entitled, "Perverse", published by Itoh Press in both print and electronic formats. Synopsis as follows:
Hi, I wanted to greet you as I just joined the website. I have recently published a FREE (donation based) eBook and I would be thrilled if you included a review on your site. Here is a ditty about it:
The generous seas do roam vividly,
And sacred words spoken earnestly.
People suffer and people go to war,
I just hope these words will go afar.
On 26-4-2013 I published a FREE book,
Indeed a feat of altruism, no crook!
I suffer in silence in every moment.
I have no money to publish a stunt.
I was just hoping for word-of-mouth
And email propagation as loudmouth.

From the earliest PadMaps came the mod PadWorld, and now from that distinguished provenance comes the next colourful evolution, the World of Padman. Developed and headed by the professional cartoonist and illustrator ENTE and his team, PadWorld Entertainment proudly present a free multi player game for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux that's powered by an extended ioquake3-engine. Please post all support issues in the forums for the game.
We are having a World of Padman open beta weekend from Saturday 26th to Sunday 27th of November. Join the lines and play WoP 1.5.5. beta!
Posted by Kai-Li on Nov 24th, 2011
We are having a World of Padman open beta weekend from Saturday 26th to Sunday 27th of November. To prepare the next official version of World of Padman, which should be released very soon, we want to share with you the last changes coming up with World of Padman 1.5.5 beta. Code work is finished and now it's up to you to test new features and to find bugs. This is the last chance for us to receive your feedback before World of Padman 1.6 will be released, that's why it's a very important event to us.
Starting from Friday evening we provide two servers running WoP 1.5.5 beta. One will provide team game modes CTL, BB and SyC. The other one will provide FFA, SyC and LPS game modes. Try new features and give us feedback, if things work like expected. We hope to see some full servers and some nice improved game play. More information on the event and downloads can be found at our beta forum. If you are interested in helping us developing the game and squashing bugs you need to register at our forum to get access to the beta test section.
Is there any changelog?
Download, changelog and more information can be found at our beta forum. Check Worldofpadman.com

AAC: iTunes indicate it as superior to MP3... but is true?

Hi to all,
I have an iPod, i use a Mac, but for audio I prefer to use EAC + LAME.
On different web site, I have read that with an ABX, the AAC format at the same bitrate give a more better audio experience and the audio quality is very high respect to MP3.
this is only marketing from Apple... or is the reality?
I'm evaulating the possibility to switch to AAC if is very superior.
But the question is another...
- because use AAC when only Apple Player can use it?
My car don't read AAC, my DVD player read only MP3.
I have bought a Mac for his superior OS, respect to Windows XP, but actually im concerned about a problem... I see that the Apple World is too close... and some time is too similar to the worse side of Microsoft
Thanks for the explanation.

THe most recent multiformat listening test including the LAME MP3 encoder and iTunes AAC I found is from Dec. 2005. The test was conducted at approx. 128kbit/s bitrate for all formats. You can see the result yourself, but the conclusion basically was that all the contenders performed very well at these bitrates. This suggests two things:
1. AAC is not inherently much better than MP3. (It rather strongly depends on the codec implementation, LAME improved in the time following this test, see this test)
2. 182 kbit/s is actually a high bitrate for these modern codecs, meaning that most are nearly indistinguishable from the main source and nearly equally good most of the time. This suggests 128kbit/s are probably enough for most listeners for most samples.
I didn't find any tests including both iTunes AAC and iTunes MP3 encoders, but this MP3-only test suggests that iTunes MP3 is on par with the LAME MP3 encoder.
It's only audiophile if it's inconvenient.

Graeme Lillingstone, the Flying Fifteen World Champion way back in 1982, relished the light conditions in today's third heat of the Gemmill Homes Golden Anniversary Flying Fifteen National Championship.
With a black flag for the second attempt, boats started conservatively for a clean getaway from a good line. - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
A general recall at the first attempt saw a black flag controlled second start, which Lillingstone and crew Ed Repsevicius read beautifully to get away in clean air.
As expected, the race began with a light easterly breeze at around 110 degrees in bright sunshine and flat water.
At the top mark for the first time, Lillingstone held a handy lead over David Tucker and Matt Summers, with the ever-menacing Steve Goacher well positioned in third place as he edged out Queensland's Ashley Smith right on the buoy.
A big wind shift to the left during the second beat (at one stage it went to 095 degrees) was anticipated by the observant crews, who tacked to the left early to take full advantage of it. Lillingstone was at this stage heading to the right until he saw the moves behind him, and quickly reacted to cover the trailing pack, tacking back onto port as he hit the layline, which by this time was not far from the centreline of the course!
Graeme Lillingstone and Ed Repsevicius cross the finish line to take the gun today. - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
It was a beautiful move, creating a good 200 metre buffer over Adele Jackson and Dean McAullay, who headed out to the north immediately after threading their way through the leeward gate, pushing Tucker back to third, with Ashley Smith and Steve Goacher still fighting over fourth place, just ahead of Adam Hawkins.
Race officer Les Swinton re-aligned the course as the fleet headed downwind to wipe out the 40 degree swing, but the running order remained unchanged, with Lillingstone claiming his first win of the championship and Adele Jackson following up yesterday's win with a solid second place today, so finally the British stranglehold on the top placings was broken, with all three podium finishes going to Australian crews, as David Tucker held on to claim third today.
All that action has tightened up the leaderboard considerably. With Alan Bax finishing fourth and Steve Goacher relegated to sixth in today's race, Goacher still leads with 10 points, one ahead of Bax on 11 and Jackson on 12. Lillingstone's win elevates him to fourth place overall.
Steve Goacher was relegated to sixth today, but still heads the leaderboard - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
Tomorrow promises more light breezes and two afternoon races are scheduled.
Top Placings:
1. 3988 Goacher/Owen
2. 3987 Bax/Childs
3. 3933 Jackson/McAullay
4. 3670 Lillingstone/Repsevicius
5. 3881 Hawkins/Jones
6. 3775 Hart/Rigg
7. 3859 Yu/Nelson
8. 3743 Tonnison/Roberts
9. 3717 Leaversuch/Barblett
10. 3781 Tucker/Summers
Greg Leaversuch and Peter Barblett see the funny side of their terrible start, to recover with a 14th today. - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
Chris Paterson & Rupert Leslie were again prominent early but slipped back to 12th. - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
Regatta chairman John Hassen didn't ease the work load on crewman Tony Finch just because it was his birthday today! - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
Adele Jackson and Dean McAullay made spectacular gains on the second beat to take second place today. - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals
Ashley Smith and Adam Kingston were right up there early and their 8th is their best result so far. - Flying Fifteen 50 th Anniversary Nationals

A very warm welcome to you and thanks for your interest in Woodpecker Forest.
Technology exists today in various forms to produce energy from biomass sources. At present, insufficient infrastructure and lack of technology to collect and process forest & agro based raw material in a sustainable way is preventing from unlocking the value of these biomass sources in India.
Power requirements in rural India can be made independent off-the-grid by self generation of clean energy through decentralized power generation in micro scale range (KW) at village/community level. Biomass plays an important role owing to its availability in rural areas.
Fuel supply chain being the critical success factor, continuous sourcing of fuel through sustainable agro waste collection and raising short rotation energy plantation/crops enables employment, income opportunities and also contribute domestic energy security for rural India.
India has an estimated potential of over 30,000 MW of power from biomass (agro based), but less than 2500 MW has been exploited while 90% of the potential capacity is yet to be realized. Among the various biomass power production technologies, combustion and gasification are the two primary routes being used today.
Further, biomass can be converted into valuable bio-pellets for industrial and cooking purposes, which is a huge untapped market. India presents tremendous opportunity for manufacturing and marketing the pellets.
We focus on providing best in class solutions for all the above. The potential is unlimited.
Looking forward to working with you.
Warm Regards
Omkar Kancherla

It was the haircut heard 'round the world.
During the "Battle of the Billionaires" match at WrestleMania 23 Sunday at Ford Field, billionaire real-estate mogul Donald Trump shaved WWE chairman Vince McMahon bald before a Ford Field-record setting crowd of 80,103.
The match was the "mane" event of the heavy-metal extravaganza, which was like an unwieldy circus of beefed-up brawlers and silicone-heavy divas.
OK, so the fighting wasn't real, but the spectacle was, and no one puts on a show quite like World Wrestling Entertainment.
Sunday's explosive event featured enough pyrotechnics to nuke a small island, and used enough electricity to power a small city for several months. The Kane vs. Khali, monster vs. monster, match began with a backstage scare when Kane's entrance pyrotechnics started a fire behind the entrance ramp. While the fire was being extinguished, the match went on.
In its four-year history, Ford Field has hosted a Super Bowl, Eminem and Rolling Stones concerts and several seasons of Detroit Lions football. But it has never seen an event quite like WrestleMania, where rabid fans came dressed as their favorite wrestlers and the wrestlers themselves put on a show worthy of Broadway -- if Broadway were unusually testosterone-heavy for an evening.
The event's theatrics were grand in scope. Two dozen torch-carrying druids and a chorus of Gregorian chants preceded a match with The Undertaker. When 'Taker finally made his way down the 62-yard entranceway, he made each methodical step count, and the fans ate it up to a chorus of wild cheers.
John Cena drove a Ford Mustang into the arena, crashing it through a glass pane at the stadium's entrance.
Then there was The Sandman, who entered the ring through the crowd, guzzling a beer and smashing it against his head while fans surrounded him. Before his match started, blood was gushing from his forehead.
WrestleMania is professional wrestling's largest annual event. Tickets to Sunday's event, which were sold in 24 countries and all 50 states, pulled in a WWE record of $5.38 million. According to a release from the WWE, the event brought $25 million to the local economy, mostly from fans who booked rooms in the city's hotels for the weekend.
"It's the biggest show of all time," said fan Don Campagna, who came to Detroit from Albany, N.Y., for the weekend's festivities. He's been to several WrestleManias, and he's already planning his trip to next year's event in Orlando. "No single sporting event, with the exception of the Super Bowl, draws this many people from around the world."
The Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin, opened the show (as she did for WrestleMania III in 1987), singing "America the Beautiful," backed by a choir. As she hit the final notes, red, white and blue pyrotechnics exploded behind her as images of the American flag waved on the enormous 70-foot-tall stage.
Among those seated near ringside were Ford Motor Co. Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr.; Detroit Piston Chris Webber; Detroit Tigers Curtis Granderson, Brandon Inge, Joel Zumaya (who was wearing ear plugs) and Pudge Rodriguez; and Rev. Run of the '80s rap duo Run DMC and star of MTV's "Run's House."
Boxer Thomas "The Hitman" Hearns, Miss Teen USA Katie Blair, Miss USA Rachel Smith and Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera also were there.
Former Miss USA Tara Conner escorted Trump to the ring.
The Trump-McMahon match was among the most anticipated of the evening. The two took the ring while Prince's "Let's Go Crazy" roared.
Once there, Trump clotheslined and tackled McMahon. After Trump's representative, Bobby Lashley, pinned McMahon's representative, "Samoan Bulldozer" Umaga, Trump and Lashley together shaved McMahon's head with clippers and finished him off with razors.
Later, referee "Stone Cold" Steve Austin toasted Trump in the ring, and the two shared a beer. But that wasn't the end.
Austin turned on Trump, leaving him in the middle of the ring after a "Stone Cold Stunner," Austin's finishing move.
WrestleMania also saw The Undertaker continue his undefeated WrestleMania streak, as he beat Batista to win the world heavyweight championship. It was the only title to change hands Sunday.
Though rumors that Hulk Hogan would show up never came true -- Hogan starred in the marquee match at WrestleMania III, which was at the Pontiac Silverdome 20 years ago -- fans still left seeing a high-wattage show.
"The expectations for WrestleMania are so high, that you always know it's going to be a good show," said Rick Achberger of Dallas, one of the WWE's most famous fans (he's known as the "Sign Guy"), who was attending his fifth WrestleMania on Sunday. "It's just wild."
