This method was also used years ago in an attempt to recover data from crashed hard drives and is no way specific to wifi or iPhones.

Apple support suggested that I change the g-network to a channel that was not in use by me or my neighbors.
About>System Report>Network>WiFi
To see the channels that are in use in your area.
This worked perfectly. The channel I was on was overused.

Thanks to all for the various suggestions. Both my iPhone and iPad lost my home wi-fi on the same day. Both could connect to other wi-fis. After several days of trying just about all the posted suggestions (didn't freeze my iPhone), what finally worked was to:
1. Select Settingsl/Wi-Fi, selected my home network which the phone was endlessly trying to connect to. Then selected Forget this network.
2. Reset Airport Extreme to its Factory Setting (using the Airport Utility)
3. Set up Airport Extreme from scratch, following the Airport Utility instructions. (This was straight forward. I just re-entered the same passwords and used the auto settings that Airport Utility was filling in.)
4. After Airport Extreme successfully restarted, I unplugged my modem for 1 minute, then replugged it.
5. Lastly, opened Settings/Wi-Fi on the iPhone and was able to log into my home wi-fi. iPad wi-fi also came back.
Hope this will help anyone who has shared my frustration with this problem.

I am experiencing the same problem as others.
iPhone 4 does not connect to wifi (it sees it and accepts password but circle just goes round and round).
I have tried:
1. Turning off and on, airplane mode, etc.
2. Unplugging and plugging router.
3. Reseting both network and general settings on phone.
Other laptops and other iPhone 4 can connect to network, and my phone can connect to other networks when I'm in other places.
I am trying to log in to the settings of the router but when I put the IP address in the safari address line it tells me Failed to Open Page (even if other pages load).
What can I do?
Any help will be welcomes. I'm staying in a short-term rented apartment and so this is not my router...

Have you gone to the manufacturer support website for the router? Sometimes there are specific addresses for different routers, instead of the standard 22.214.171.124
edin2009 Nov 23, 2012 12:02 PM
in response to GrumpyGator
I was told to look at the IP address of the router through network settings on my laptop (which connects to the network just fine).
When I try that address it won't load.

I was having this problem for days, this is what I did and what worked for me:
1.-Go to "settings"
2.- Click on "Wi-Fi"
3.- On "Choose a Network", slect "Other..."
4.- Manually type in the name of the Network you are trying to log-in to.
-Under "Security" slect the type of Security the Network has (WEP, WPA 2, etc.)
-Type in password.
This worked for me, and my phone automatically connects to my home network now. I hope this helps you out!

Right, I'm getting tired of this happening with both my iPad and my iPhone, I have a virgin media wireless router and spoke to them. They told me to chang the channels on my wifi settings and this worked but the same thing keeps happening. I have to turn my router off and on to get my wireless back. It also just now was connected to wireless but had no Internet connection. Then when I turned the wifi off on my iPhone and iPad I can't connect to my wifi anymore unless I reset my router. This is soooo annoying because it's costing me in 3G when I dont realise. I need to know what part is to blame. I had the same problem when I had a different router (virgin) at my old house as I had fibre optic then. Same thing. But anywhere else I go that doesn't have virgin media it's fine. I'm thinking maybe with virgin media wifi and iPhones are not compatible? As my laptop I have no problem connectin to my Internet all the time. And from what I have read its all far too complicated having to change your name etc. we shouldn't have to do this. Someone should look into this. But I think I'm going to write to virgin and apple. Just wondered as well if anyone else has problems with other companies broadband?

someone looks at that problem often. every time there is different solution. someone had that problem at his own house as well. someone had replaced 3 2wire routers, got tired of the bs and purchased old refurbished professional router (netopia 14 bucks online). Never needed to update firmware, never needed anything or had problems since. Original price of that netopia was about 150. Handles 7 computers 4 ipads and ipods and xbox360. By the way when someone got that router, settings needed to be changed and att (isp) support or Netopia ( Motorola) support were no help. someone had to do 3 hours research to find correct info. Easy to blame devices, but router has to do it's job, so if no problem on other networks, look at the router. If router support can't help, look at other models. someone before buying stuff goes online and checks reviews for the routers. someone wishes you luck.JMHO.

Has anyone tried ad hoc networking? I got it set up on my iMac. I bought a wifi-enabled blu-ray DVD and want to stream Netflix to my TV.
I have Airport Utillity on the iPhone and am now trying to get the iPhone4 to show that the wifi is working and connecting to the ad hoc. In settings, there is a check mark next to my wifi network on the iPhone, but the wifi symbol up on the top left of the iPhone is not there.

A new clip from writer-director James Gunn's upcoming violent black comedy, Super, debuted during the 2010 Spike TV Scream Awards and now it has been released online. The independent "superhero" movie about an everyman (Rainn Wilson) who dons a costume to go after the drug dealer (Kevin Bacon) who has seduced his wife (Liv Tyler), has struggled to avoid comparisons to Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass, which also features non-powered people in costumes fighting crime, but this new clip shows that the violence in Super is far more realistic and gritty than the stylized violence in Vaughn's movie. Warning: This clip is NSFW!
Super debuted in September at the Toronto International Film Festival and is expected to get a limited theatrical release later this year. Ellen Page, Linda Cardellini, and Nathan Fillion also star.

This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: This is an excellent product for the price it can't beat. I use it. For music only. It replaced a much more expensive receiver that got damaged during a move.it sounds better on the same set of speakers.
Cons: You will spend more buying Onkyo products because this one will make you a believer.

It does what I want it to do.
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: It does everything I want it to do. I haven't purchased a receiver since the 1990s. I have not researched new developments--however, this receiver behaves as I want it to, and it sounds good. The price was good--I think I paid 169.99.
Cons: My old CD player is a techniques player (5 discs). It has its own remote which does not work with the receiver. The universal remote will not allow selections to change cds or do other functions--so I do this by hand. Maybe it would be different if I knew how to make the universal remote work with the receiver--my skills are limited in this area.
Other Thoughts: The receiver is what I expected so I have no complaints.

Sounds Good
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: - Sound is very clean and clear
Cons: - Bass, Treble, and Balance knobs feels a bit weak and could easily be damaged if bumped. They feel fine for normal use and turn smoothly. No egg rating penalty.
Other Thoughts: Im using this in a small home entertainment setup and am very pleased with the quality and features. Audio source is a pc with an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 -> Onkyo -> Behringer B2031P monitors.

Very nice for the price
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: This receiver is just being used with a pair of Polk Audio Monitor 30's to improve the TV sound and listen to the local radio stations. As basic as you can get. The retro bass, treble, and balance knobs are a delight to use.
Cons: None so far. It works.
Other Thoughts: I am not going to critique the packaging and shipping. Sorry about that. I will never understand why so many reviewers do this. I do not care where you live and how many days and hours your item took to arrive.

Died in days
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: Great range. Powered 2 175 watt speakers very, very nicely. Loved the clarity. Decent controls and connections.
Cons: Permanently went into "Voltage Protection mode" after a few days. Had to RMA so I'm out shipping charges and time of ownership. Disappointing since I picked this model specifically for its reliability. Oh well, guess it was my turn to be unlucky.

Took a While to Break in
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: Excellent Sound Quality!! 50 Watts per Channel sounds more like 100 Watts per channel. Very solid unit. Probably the best 2-channel stereo you will find, with a frequency response all the way down to 10hz and extremely high 100,000hz, which is an unbelievable response.
Cons: No Sub-out but the Polk-Audio PSW505 has high level speaker inputs and that works great for having a powered sub hooked up to it.
Other Thoughts: It took quite a while to break it in, it sounded kind of flat on the low ends until it was fully broke in and now it sounds great, almost like a surround sound now. It took about a 100 hours of use to start sounding like it should, so if yours sounds flat at first, give it some time and it will sound better as it ages.

Superb 2-ch
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: Excellent fm tuner section; drives my smallish bookshelf speakers with clean, spacious sound; plenty of inputs with good, simple switching controls
Cons: ~
Other Thoughts: For the study, I was looking to replace a 30-year-old Onkyo I was sad to see die. I wanted a solid, economical stereo-- nothing fancy but with very clean sound. The old Onkyo had done me right, so I was glad to see they still made a basic 2-ch model. I have two wired inputs, the computer and a cable teevee box. The unit works great switching between these. Plus I listen to a couple of fringe low-power fm stations that this unit seems to pull in pretty well -- w/o blanketing interference from a strong nearby gross country station that seems to infect my other radios. Overall then, I am very pleased with this purchase.

This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver

Excellent Basic Stereo Receiver
This review is from: High Fidelity Receiver
Pros: The sound from this receiver is crisp; I agree with the other reviewer who stated you can hear details never heard before. I was amazed with the clarity of the sound from my CDs. The bass is forceful but not overpowering; I guess this could be considered subjective given the type of speakers connected. My Sony MDR-V6 stereo headphones sound great when connected to the receiver. I love the volume control on the remote as well as the ability to select different playback modes (i.e. CD, Tape, AM/FM, Phono). FM antenna reception is great provided you follow the recommendations in the manual. I purchased this receiver to accomodate my 6 ohm speakers, this particular receiver can accomodate 4-16 ohm speakers (other brands don't even offer this feature at this price). I've also connected an Ion USB turntable with a built-in preamp, the sound is great however I receive hum feedback when the volume is excessively high. Peak distorted CDs playback without distortion.
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: This receiver doesn't have a subwoofer output, I didn't list it in the cons section because I was aware of it before I made my purchase. I am not sure if a subwoofer out would be required if you have a decent pair of speakers. I wanted a basic stand alone component stereo system at an affordable price and this receiver satisfied my requirement. Over 20 years ago an army buddy recommended Onkyo and I kept that in mind when searching for recievers and I must say I was not disappointed in my selection. With Newegg I saved $70 from the regularly listed price plus free shipping; can't beat that deal!

Secrets of Success
13 weeks ago ... Falling.

Monday, September 09, 2013
I checked my training log last night. This begins week 13 of the incredible journey I started, mostly on a whim, to see how far and/or how fast my two feet could carry me. In less than a month I will return to the road to run 13 miles -- my first Half-Marathon.
"Running is controlled falling." That's one of my favorite quotes from ultramarathoner Scott Jurek. He meant it not only literally -- you literally are falling forward on each step -- but also figuratively as well. You find yourself falling into a rhythm with the ground. You fall into a place where stress and fear melt away. You fall down into a singular focus of one more step, one more step, one more step.
I've fallen a lot. More figuratively than literally, but I do have some actual bruises and scars on my knees. I can remember the biggest falls -- falling in love with my husband, falling into a new dance form, falling for that puffy pink little person that I gave birth to, and of course the first 20 seconds of actual controlled falling I'd ever attempted in my adult life. More than once I've fallen into the depression oubliette, and forced myself to pull myself back out of it with almost no help from anyone else. I'm lucky. I'm short, so I don't fall far ;)
Early August, when I started my distance runs, it was nice out. I could do 5 miles without feeling like I was running in Death Valley. Later in the month, the early weekend mornings gave the illusion of autumn, but those afternoon runs were killer. They put me off of running in general. I scratched all but the 5ks off my calendar, and vowed to never even ATTEMPT a marathon.
But then I fell again.
Saturday's race allowed me to fall right back into where I wanted to be -- in that relatively small percentage of the population who loves to sweat, to feel their feet pounding the pavement, to be timed and "judged" by a previous personal best, or a desire to beat the time of a rival or friend.
And this all happened in 13 weeks. How crazy is that?
Looking back over those 13 weeks of training pages, I wonder "How on earth did I get the idea to do this?" and "Why on earth did I continue?" What kept me from quitting? I can remember stumbling into the house, exhausted and frustrated, because I couldn't run the full 20-minute interval. And just two days ago I ran for an hour and forty minutes.
My original inspiration was that quote that says "You can throw in the towel or you can use it to wipe the sweat off your face." I liked that, and it's still probably my favorite motivational quote ever. I didn't throw in the towel, but I wanted to a few times. I didn't, though. Most people I know -- well, I'm not even sure they picked up the towel.
In 13 weeks my life has changed. I lost my extra weight, gained a ton of self-confidence, and found a great new hobby that will keep me happy and healthy for the rest of my life. And I think I'm setting a good example for my son. He falls a lot -- literally, because he's still a toddler -- so I'm hoping he'll fall into step beside me some day, and eventually fall into his own rhythm, passing me and looking back to wave before he sets out for the first 13 weeks of his own adventure. He won't be able to miss me: I'll be the one holding the sweaty towel :)

Great description of what it is like and so transferable a definition as well. You've given a tale that fits what so many of us deal with - the ups, the downs, the determination and then the consideration to just let it all go by the wayside and then another reversal back to determination. Keep at it - sounds like you're doing just fine!

Love it!!! Running does this, it encourages you even when you are not quite sure. It allows you chances to stumble and regain your balance over and over again while it strengthens you. It's quite a beautiful thing! I'm glad we have both found this love! I'm training for a 1/2 as well! Good luck!!

Good luck on your first half marathon. I am just to start training for my first marathon. I ran Sunday over the highest bridge in Texas. With all the heat and humidity we've had it was challenging to run. But it could be done. So I did it. I actually did fall on the downhill portion of the bridge. Just scraped my knee and elbow. Luckily this won't effect my running. I had to help my daughter out in her running. She needed to be able to run a 8 minute mile on a track. My two year old wanted to run on the track too and he did. Running is contagious.

Discover Your True North
An exploration of leadership that transforms and ways to transform leadership.
Uplifting leadership, as described by Andy Hargreaves, Alan Boyle, and Alma Harris in their new book by the same title, is about achieving beyond expectations. Uplifting leaders ignite the emotional, spiritual, and social powers of teams, organizations, and communities to improve performance and results. Based on their research of organizations in business, education, and sports, the authors identify six factors that comprise the uplifting leadership process. A key emphasis of the model is harnessing the energy generated by the tension between "hard" and "soft" skills. According to this model, leadership is about managing paradoxes. To create lift leaders must balance dreaming with action, creativity with discipline, collaboration with competition, pushing with pulling, measurement with meaningfulness, and quick wins with sustainable success. The writing is clear and the authors provide many examples of their principles applied in a variety of settings. Yet there is little that is new for those familiar with leadership literature. The authors reinforce what many other researchers have already explained. A good book that provides additional research and another model to support a holistic approach to leadership.
Consultant Christoph Lueneburger has released a new book entitled A Culture of Purpose. Lueneburger equates a culture of purpose with one that is focused on environmental sustainability. But sustainability seems to be a secondary focus of this book. The significant contribution Lueneburger makes to the leadership literature is outlining how to create an organizational culture driven by a central purpose. One can apply the author's research-based model to creating a corporate culture centered on any strongly-held purpose. The author identifies competencies, traits, and cultural attributes as the three sets of building blocks for creating a culture of purpose. He describes five competencies, four traits, and three cultural attributes necessary to creating and leading purpose-focused organizations. This book will be useful to the individual wanting to develop personal leadership abilities. However, Lueneburger's primary goal is to help organizational leaders identify the people who will help create a culture of purpose. The unique, and perhaps most valuable, aspect of the book is the chart of questions at the end of each chapter. Lueneburger explains how to identify each of the necessary competencies, traits, and attributes. He provides questions to use in hiring interviews to uncover the needed abilities for leading organizational change. The individual reader may also use these questions as a form of self-assessment and as a self-development guide. Lueneburger has written a useful book for anyone interested in leading organizational change and creating cultures of meaning.

Ted Simons: State Senate minority leader David Schapira recently announced that he will run for the seat in Arizona's newly formed 9th district. Here to talk about his congressional bid is Senator David Schapira. Good to see you again thanks for joining us. Why are you running for Congress?
David Schapira: I running for Congress for the same reason I got into politics in the first place. I was a high school teacher, became very frustrated with the education system in Arizona, realized the buck stopped at the elected officials, the state legislature and the United States Congress. So I got involved in politics, ran for office for the first time when I was 26 years old to try to make changes in the education system. That fervor has been renewed for me. I have two young daughters. They're going to be entering the education system in just a few years now and there's a lot of important legislation coming up on the federal level with the reauthorization of no child left behind coming up. And I want to be there to work on it, I want a teacher's voice in Washington.
Ted Simons: I was going to ask about education because some say it's more important to be on the local level when it comes to education and education reform and you can make more of a difference locally then you can back in Washington.
David Schapira: And unfortunately too many teachers are taking that advice and staying involved at the state level, then we have a bunch of politicians in Washington who don't understand education who are involved in crafting legislation like no child left behind. We need teachers in Washington who understand what's going on in our classrooms today. Who can work on the revisions to no child left behind and make it legislation that can actually help students improve learning, not just be something that's good for politicians.
Ted Simons: What can you offer that other Democrats running for this particular congressional seat can't?
David Schapira: I think I can certainly offer some expertise in that area of education. I think I understand and I have seen it in practice the link between education and our nation's economy. What is interesting is we have competed state to state for jobs for decades now. In fact even centuries. What the next century is going to look like as far as competition is international competition for jobs. As we have been losing jobs to China and India because they offer cheaper labor force, in the future we'll be losing jobs because they have a more educated work force unless we do something about it now. On the national level I will bring a focus at the Congress on education issues.
Ted Simons: Alright. You're not resigning your seat at the legislature to run for this particular office. Why? Because someone suggested you would need all of your energies to run for the office and those energies you're using to run for the office are being lost at the legislature.
David Schapira: People who know me know I like to multi-task I have been at the legislature going on six years. That time I have worked at ASU, have taught in the political science department there and have had other jobs, started a small business, and started a family, got married, had kids. I like to multi-task. That's not the reason. I'm staying in the legislature. The reason I'm staying in the legislature is because I made a commitment to my constituents two years ago when I ran for Arizona State Senate that I would serve a two-year term. They elected me to serve a two-year term not a one year term. My colleagues in the Arizona State Senate, the fellow Democrats, elected me to be their leader, the democratic leader for a two-year term not a one year term. I believe in fulfilling my commitments, and doing the job I was elected to do.
Ted Simons: You wrote and said in your announcement for candidacy you want to create jobs and uphold values. How can Congress -- this is a big question here because there's a very philosophical divide, how can Congress create jobs?
David Schapira: Well, it's interesting. The tea party folks on the far right like to say, oh, government can't create jobs. In fact government has never created jobs. I think cap in Arizona is an example of what we have done to create jobs. Government which frankly creates infrastructure. If infrastructure doesn't exist business can't exist in that place either. There's something we can do now in the state and in Washington to help bring jobs to the country and to Arizona. That is diversify our economy. For example states like Arizona have relied for 100 years on growth as our primary economic driver. We have got to have more innovative industries that are not just about getting bigger but getting better. I want to focus on that in Washington, helping us as a country get better.
Ted Simons: Ok, uphold values, that's your quote. What does that mean?
David Schapira: Well, it's interesting I think especially right now people are very concerned about ethics in politics. For a long time people have been more and more disenfranchised with what's going on politically. I sat on a five-member panel essentially a quasi-judicial panel that dealt with Scott Bumgard over the past few months. Too many people believe that's what all politicians are like. I want to maintain my priorities in Washington while also maintaining my ethical values.
Ted Simons: How closely will you associate yourselves with President Obama?
David Schapira: You know, I was one of the very early supporters of President Obama when he first got in the presidential race. There were four Arizona politicians who came out and endorsed him right off the bat. I was one. I got to meet with the president just yesterday when he was here in Arizona. I see him as an ally, someone to work alongside but not to work for. My boss, the people who I work for, is the constituents of my district. I hope to work alongside not just President Obama and other Democrats in Congress but also the Republicans. I have had a history of working across the aisle to get done what's best for our constituents, I'll continue that trend in Congress.
Ted Simons: Ok, couple of President Obama ideas here. The stimulus. Would you have voted for it?
David Schapira: Well, there's multiple things that came through in the package and there were things that I really like. A lot of the investment and infrastructure, a lot of what helped keep teachers and firefighters and law enforcement employed. Those are the kind of things I support and frankly I think kept us out of a much deeper recession if not depression there were components I supported, and there were components I think maybe weren't as necessary.
Ted Simons: The health care reform act, the idea of health care reform in general, the president's plan. Would you have supported it?
David Schapira: Health care reform is desperately needed in this country even still after it passed in the Congress. If I had been in Congress at the time, I would have supported it but I don't think it did enough. What we really need in health care reform is cost control. When people see their health care bills skyrocketing that's a problem. I would have supported single payer option, I would have supported a public option. And unfortunately those things were not in the bill but those are things I'll fight for in the next Congress.
Ted Simons: So would you have supported the bill as it was?
David Schapira: Ya, as it was I would've supported it. I don't think it went far enough.
Ted Simons: Alright, immigration.
David Schapira: Immigration reform is a very pressing issue for our state and our country. Unfortunately we haven't seen substantive reform since the '80s. I will support comprehensive immigration reform and in fact I was disappointed when the president mentioned it and they immediately panned to John Mccain, our United States Senator. Literally it seems he was the only one in the entire section that didn't stand up or clap. This is someone who in previous sessions had actually sponsored comprehensive immigration reform. It's desperately needed. Our Senators and members of Congress from this state should know it's an extremely important priority.
Ted Simons: Last question Republicans are already saying most Democrats running for Congress are going back to rubber stamp the administration's ideas left, right and center.
David Schapira: I support the president and the initiatives he's pushing but I represent constituents. Harry Mitchell, when he was my congressman, was fond of saying representative is both my title and my job description. I felt that way at the state legislature and I'll be that kind of representative in Congress.
Ted Simons: Alright thanks for joining us. We appreciate it.
David Schapira: Thanks for having me.

Hi everyone... I have been married almost a year and DH and I finally decided it was time to TTC. I have a busy life (medical student) but next year will be an "easier" year for me and one of the better times to have a baby before i start residency. So I removed Mirena yesterday! Phew! Anyway just wanted to come in and introduce myself and join this group. I would love to get pregnant this month but the cautionary side of me is saying wait at least until one period has passed so I know that I have an adequate uterine lining. I would love to hear anyone else's stories or experiences.
IUD removed Yesterday!
Comments (3)
We were planning on waiting until after my first period before we TTC. Well, that didn't quite work :) I had my IUD removed in Oct and pretty much got pregnant right away. I'm now 6 weeks pregnant with my second child. Everything is going well so far and my doctor doesn't seemed to be worried at all. Good luck!
MattieMay, I would wait too. 2 years ago I had my IUD removed, and got pregnant right away. However, it ended sad with a MC (not that that happens to everyone, but in my mind better safe than sorry). Give your body a few months to build up the lining again. Just got my IUD removed again today... and in the same boat as you. good luck
Just got my IUD removed today! Honestly, I have never heard all these horror stories about getting pregnant after IUD removal until now. My doctors have never mentioned anything. I would hope that if it was important, my doctor would have advised me to wait one cycle before we started trying again. However, she was very optomistic about it and said that she often has patients come in a month after IUD removal, already pregnant. Not to discredit anyone, but where are the facts? Why are doctors not advising us to wait if it's important that we do?
Anyway, sorry for diverting a little. Good luck to you! I hope you get your BFP soon and have a happy, healthy pregnancy :)

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
A journalist pays the ultimate price in Syria
Maher Sattar | 11 Feb 2013 11:39 GMT | Poverty & Development, Thailand
Yupa Prai-ngam's body lay slumped on her bus seat like a dozing passenger. Around her, forensic police cased the scene, zipping up the corpse of her fellow victim, 21-year-old art student Wanchai Thongsaengkaew, and dragged him away.
Yupa, 48, was returning home to Bangkok's suburbs, when at about 6:20 pm a group of students ambushed the vehicle at a bus stop and opened fire. Police believe the attack was the result of a feud between rival student gangs; in the end, the incident claimed the lives of two innocent passengers.
According to Manit Wongsomboon, deputy commissioner of the city police, there were 1,222 cases of student violence reported in Bangkok and its suburbs in 2012 - a rate of about 100 cases per month. He estimates about 20 of these resulted in death or severe injury.
Most of the clashes take place between students at vocational colleges - academies that train pupils to become machinists, electricians, and other specific trades - who carry on a longstanding tradition of fighting adversaries from rival schools to preserve institutional pride.
But increasingly the fighting is spilling over into society at large. Last month, an altercation between more than 50 vocational students at a charity concert led to rioting and reports of gunshots. The event was shut down early as more than 700 police officers struggled to restore calm.
The problem, both the police and the army warn, is getting worse.
"Before, the violence would happen more randomly. Now it is more organised. The gangs are starting to use social networks to set up places to gather, like at the charity concert," said army spokesman Wanchana Sawasdee.
"All this has an effect on other people, who now almost schedule their lives around the violence. They think, 'I live near this school, so I'll take detours to not be at the wrong place at the wrong time'."
The escalation of hostilities is having a bigger impact on students who say they are reluctant to fight. "These days, when you find weapons on students, mostly they're carrying it for self-defence," explained Sawasdee.
One student named Pon, who like all the students interviewed for this article asked to be identified only by his nickname, told Al Jazeera that he been "involved in some violence, but I've never been the instigator.
"I've been stabbed before," he added.
"I commute with a pretty big group of friends from my school by bus. Often we run into kids from our rival school and a fight would ensue. It usually starts with some hateful words being thrown around and would eventually escalate into a brawl. There are always weapons or tools involved, sometimes even a gun," Pon said.
Deputy Commissioner Manit spread out a number of casefiles from 2012, pointing out pictures of weapons confiscated from vocational students, whose education often revolves around the use of dangerous tools. The photos reveal guns, knives, machetes, hammers, hooked rods, and even homemade swords.
"Once, the police were called in by someone who spotted a big group of students ready for trouble. We searched them and found a modified pistol that shoots shotgun shells," said Manit.
'Almost like a war'
When asked about the cause of the clashes, most point to the historical enmity between vocational schools. "It is mainly about long rivalries between the schools," said Pon. "It is something that is passed down to us, what we are told to do to show our loyalty."
Wanchana and Manit said disreputable seniors and alumni, who have built up formidable reputations, pressure freshmen to emulate their actions.
''There's basically a form of hazing to initiate new students, creating a culture of respecting elder students in a sort of fraternity of violence,'' Manit explained. "Some of these schools have had rivalries for longer than I have been in the police force."
"Students feel they have to fight to gain the respect of their peers or of the other schools, and it quickly becomes a cycle of revenge. They will take revenge on any student from the school that has wronged them - it doesn't have to be the actual instigator. It's almost like a war."
Scrambling to find solutions, the army has set up a 10-week boot-camp-style training course. Administrators from the vocational schools select problem students and dispatch them to the camp, sometimes threatening to keep them from graduating if they do not participate.
The camp instills discipline, said Wanchana. Students are made to wake up, cook meals, and meditate together. Most of the activities are collaborative, not competitive, aiming to get the kids to see their rivals in a friendlier light.
"One mother was so overwhelmed by the changes she saw after her child's training, she cried, saying she was able to have a meal with her entire family for the first time in years," Wanchana noted.
Wanchana divides the 157 children who have passed through the camp into three groups: those who are unchanged, those who change completely, and those who fall somewhere in the middle. "This middle group, next time they're in a bad situation, maybe they will hesitate. This hesitation is a very important turning point."
Deer, another vocational student who has successfully completed the training, said he no longer goes looking for trouble. However, he noted that his troubles are not yet over. "I have to constantly be in survival mode. I have not been a part of any violence since [the camps], but if I happen to end up at the wrong place at the wrong time, I will defend myself," he said.
The root of the problem
"Traditional schools have similar problems, but in the media they are glorified. Some of the more prestigious schools can cover up what goes on there better than we can."
- Gor, freshman student
Wanchana recognises that the camp can only have a limited impact. "With this camp we are not addressing the root of the problem. We are only addressing the tail-end of the problem," he said.
Institutional pride is merely an excuse, according to Montri Sintawichai, founder of the Child Protection Foundation. Behind it lie the complex forces of teenage angst and the shortcomings of Thailand's social fabric.
"A Japanese artist said: 'Thailand is known as the land of smiles, and yes, the Thais do smile easily. But if you look into their eyes, they are sad," he said.
''These children see, on a regular basis, kids with powerful parents toss their fathers' names around and get out of trouble. Kids learn that if they are the bully when they leave school, they will have more authority."
Gor - a freshman at the Uthen Thawai campus of Rajamangala University of Technology, one of the capital's most notorious trade schools - believes that vocational students, most of whom come from poor families, are stigmatised by the media.
"Most of the fighting is not because of institutional pride, it's just normal teen angst. We feel the traditional schools have similar problems, but in the media they are glorified. Some of the more prestigious schools can cover up what goes on there better than we can," Gor said.
Montri recommended that Thailand - where about 10 million guns are owned by civilians, most of them unregistered - needs to accept responsibility for the examples it is setting for these children.
"In Thailand, violence is everywhere: children see it in the streets every day. Not only do we need to make it harder for kids to access weapons, but also for adults. Kids think, 'Oh, mom and dad carry guns and it makes people respect them, so I should too'."

China Streamlines Rules to Attract Foreign Banks
China Streamlines Rules To Attract Foreign Banks
BEIJING - China's central bank has published streamlined regulations that make it easier for foreign banks to establish representative offices here, Chinese officials said.
Under the revised rules from the People's Bank of China, a foreign bank need no longer establish its first representative office in Beijing but rather may choose any open Chinese city.
The central bank also eliminated regulations requiring foreign representative bank offices to reregister with the government every three years.
Avoiding Beijing
Banks may now submit applications to establish offices at any regional branch office of the People's Bank, avoiding bureaucratic logjams at the main office in Beijing. The revisions took effect immediately.
"This is designed to eliminate unnecessary problems for foreign banks," said a Chinese official familiar with the new rules.
Foreign bankers said the revised regulations would help to attract more overseas institutions to China, particularly to the coastal regions that are seeing the quickest jump in economic development. …

Williams Partners Adds Marubeni As Joint-Venture Partner On Initial Gulfstar FPS™ Project
Williams Partners L.P. (NYSE:WPZ) announced today that Marubeni Corporation has agreed to acquire a 49-percent interest in Williams Partners' first Gulfstar FPS™ project. The agreement is expected to close during the second quarter of 2013. Upon closing of the agreement, Marubeni will contribute approximately $225 million to fund capital expenditures, following with monthly capital contributions representing their 49-percent interest.Gulfstar FPS is Williams Partners' proprietary floating production system. The initial Gulfstar FPS, which has been under construction since late 2011, will support multiple agreements Williams Partners has signed with Hess Corporation (NYSE: HES) and Chevron (NYSE: CVX), through which production handling, export pipeline, oil and gas gathering and gas processing services are provided for the Tubular Bells field development located in the eastern deepwater Gulf of Mexico. The Gulfstar FPS will tie into Williams Partners' wholly owned oil, gas gathering and processing systems in the eastern Gulf of Mexico. Williams Partners also expects the initial Gulfstar FPS to be capable of serving as a central host facility for other deepwater prospects in the area. The initial Gulfstar FPS is expected to be placed into service in mid-2014. Williams Partners expects to develop additional Gulfstar FPS projects in the future. "We're very pleased to be following through on our goal of adding a partner to our first Gulfstar project," said Alan Armstrong, chief executive officer of Williams Partners' general partner. "Adding a partner like Marubeni will benefit us significantly, giving us more flexibility in capital spending as we continue to pursue attractive projects in all of our operating areas." Williams Partners' expected capital spending on Gulfstar of approximately $500 million was included in the partnership's previously issued guidance and represents a 51-percent ownership interest. The partnership expects to use consolidated accounting for the Gulfstar projects.

feeding too much?
I have recently trained my favorite fish (the gourami) to eat out of my hand, he also hangs out in my hand after the food's gone like my hand is his cave or something...which reminds me I wondered if they make some kind of floating roots or plants or caves made for the surface of the tank? I know the fish would love something like that... Anyway, I have been feeding the fish 2-4 times a day just flake food but they have big bellies and I am wondering if overfeeding them is deadly? I now know it can cause tank pollution so I've lessened the amount of food I give to them each time. But I just want to make sure each fish gets the proper amount of food and doesn't go hungry...they are well fed but is there a such thing as overfeeding them to the point where it could harm them? I don't want to do anything that would risk their health...they're part of my family.
Hand-feeding fish is a lot of fun. I've got my goldfish doing it and I'm working on the koi. As far as the dangers of overfeeding there are some. Overfeeding in bettas (basically cousin to your dwarf gourami) can lead to buoyancy problems. Overfeeding in goldfish (not nearly as closely related) causes GI bloat. You'll know when you are underfeeding your fish as their tummies will look sunken. Depending on how big the little round belly is, you might be overfeeding. You should just barely be able to see a bulge. Looking at the profiles of the gouramis (including dwarf gourami) here should give you an idea of a perfectly-fed gourami.
This is an overfed betta. If your little guys stomachs look anything like this, you should fast them for a few days.
And to your question on surface decor, definitely get some floating plants with gourami. Water Sprite is ideal. Clcik the shaded name for the profile with photos. Some stem plants like Brazilian Pennywort also work floating.
And also look into turtle logs a small one might be what your looking for they float and are hollow

The building on the square which has been the long-term home of Regions Bank is being sold in an online auction, although bank officials say their lease will continue regardless of who purchases the building.
The white building on the west side of the square was built in 1965. The local bank which occupied it was known as First National Bank; it was later purchased by Union Planters, which was then purchased by Regions. The bank sold the building at some point but continued to occupy portions of it as a tenant.
The building also includes a portion of, and the entrance to, the Bobo, Hunt and White law offices, which occupy space in a former Masonic lodge next door, connected to the bank by a second-floor walkway.
Brian O'Meara of Regions Bank said the sale of the building won't affect the bank's lease or its local operations.
"This actually happens quite frequently," said O'Meara.
According to sale listings on several web sites, the bank has about 7 1/2 years left on its lease. The building is listed as having 22,131 square feet of total space and about 57 percent vacancy. It has a starting bid of $200,000. The online auction is scheduled to start on Monday, according to the web site auction.com.
In 2009, and again earlier this year, some county commissioners discussed the possibility of purchasing the building and using it for additional courtroom space, to address overcrowding and security issues at Bedford County Courthouse across the street.
County Mayor Eugene Ray, asked Tuesday night whether the county had any plans to bid on the building, seemed taken aback by the question but did not indicate any definite plans by the county. The bank building hasn't been mentioned at the most recent meetings of the county commission or its standing committees.
The county is currently facing a severe jail overcrowding problem, and if the county ends up forced to build a new jail, one possibility would be to build a jail and justice center, as some other communities have done, combining jail and courtroom facilities under one roof, eliminating the costs and security issues associated with transporting inmates to and from court. But some local merchants have objected to any proposal that would move the court system away from the square, saying that it would be a devastating blow to the downtown business district.

"Length Of Time To Resolve Attacks" Is Top Concern For Cybersecurity Professionals
Guidance Software, Inc. (NASDAQ:GUID), the World Leader in Digital Investigations™, today released the results of a survey conducted during the 13th annual Computer and Enterprise Investigations Conference (CEIC), hosted by Guidance Software in May. With respondents representing more than 150 organizations participating in the survey, the results indicate shifting priorities in enterprise and government security teams, with "length of time to resolve attacks" coming in as the chief cybersecurity concern. Length of Time to Resolve Attacks Rated #1 Security Concern:In response to the question, "What is your biggest cybersecurity concern?" 33 percent of respondents answered, "length of time it takes to resolve attacks," an increase from 25 percent of respondents last year. As organizations are faced with an increasing risk of data theft, escalating response costs and damage to their reputation, one of their chief concerns today is the damage caused by allowing a threat to remain either undetected or unresolved. Security teams are beginning to operate under the assumption that their organizations are already compromised. They are becoming increasingly aware that the longer a threat lurks unidentified in their environment, the greater the exposure, loss of productivity, impact on revenue and expense of remediation for the organization. To reduce the time it takes to identify and respond to threats, they replace outdated incident response methods that usually involve home-grown tools coupled with manual investigation by security analysts, with automated detection and incident response products such as Guidance Software's EnCase® Cybersecurity and EnCase® Analytics products. EnCase Cybersecurity and EnCase Analytics help organizations reduce the gap between detecting an incident and mobilizing a rapid response. Through integration with leading Security Information and Event Management (SIEM ) vendors, including HP ArcSight, EnCase Cybersecurity automates critical time-sensitive aspects of the incident response process, reducing response and remediation time to a matter of minutes or hours, from days or weeks. EnCase Analytics empowers customers to find and expose cyber threats hiding behind complex relationships in the massive amounts of data that exist within the sum of all endpoints of an enterprise. BYOD Crackdown: The percentage of companies allowing employees to use their own devices for work purposes dropped sharply year over year. Just over half (51 percent) of the CEIC Survey respondents this year said their companies allow employees to use their own devices to do work, either in accordance with an official bring your own device or BYOD policy or as a casual rule of thumb, compared to 78 percent last year. Thirty-two percent of respondents said their companies ban non-company devices to do work, which was up from 22 percent in 2012.

David Warner called back after initially being given out caught behind by Jos Buttler
- From: FOX SPORTS
- January 12, 2014
DRAMA hit the first one-day international between Australia and England as David Warner was called back following a controversial catch claimed by wicketkeeper Jos Buttler.
The flashpoint happened during the 14th over at the MCG, as Warner and Aaron Finch got Australia off to a great start in pursuit of 270 for victory.
Warner got a thick edge off a short ball from Ben Stokes and Buttler appeared to take a good low catch behind the stumps.
The Australian batsman took Buttler at his word and began walking from the field, but was told to wait as the on-field umpires called on the third umpire to check the catch.
Finch said the third or fourth umpire instructed Warner to stay on the field as the incident was reviewed.
"Davey obviously took Jos's word, and he's a very honest guy and a very nice guy," Finch said.
"I don't have much on that to be honest."
Alastair Cook, unsurprisingly, backed his player.
"It might have been my biased eyes - English eyes on it - I thought it was a pretty clean catch," Cook said.
"Hit his fingers and bounced up. But I only saw it a couple of times on the big screen. I thought it was the wrong decision, but we have to respect the umpire's decision. We know we have to otherwise we get in trouble.
"Obviously David thought it carried as well because he was quite happy to walk off. It is strange because a lot of those catches look a lot worse on TV than they do in real life. But that one, I didn't see it hit the ground."
Opinion on both social media and in the commentary box appeared to be split, with some thinking the replay showed the ball touching the grass, and others claiming Buttler's fingers were clearly under the ball.
The third umpire agreed with the latter argument and Warner was called back, giving him a reprieve on 22.
The decision went on to hurt England, with Warner passing 50 as he and Finch notched a century opening stand to have Australia on course for victory.
Horror decision, sat with a group of Aussies who all thought it was out too!— Alex Hales (@AlexHales1) January 12, 2014
Couldn't give that out. Right decision. #AusvEng— Michael Slater (@mj_slats) January 12, 2014
Originally published as Reversed: Warner out, then not out
Warner clearly took the keepers' word for it. As the replay clearly showed, the keeper was wrong. #AusvEng— Richard Hinds (@rdhinds) January 12, 2014

Bulldogs take out Warhawks during quarterfinals
March 15, 2012
By Nathan Pfau, Army Flier Staff Writer
FORT RUCKER, Ala. (Mar. 15, 2012) -- The Bulldogs took on the 164th Theater Airfield Operations Group Warhawks during the Fort Rucker Intramural Post Championship loser's bracket quarterfinals with the Bulldogs coming out on top 56-54 Mar. 12.
The Bulldogs, consisting of military police and firefighters, started the game off right scoring a three-pointer within the first few minutes of the game. They were able to maintain a strong lead of over 10 points throughout most of the first half.
"We had to get inside the painted areas down low so that we could work outside and shoot the open shots," said Charles Brown, player for the Bulldogs. "The main set was getting [the ball] to the hole."
The Bulldogs strong defense over the Warhawks helped them keep their opponent from scoring early on in the game, which helped them pull out ahead.
"We wanted to come out and play with intensity so that we could keep them running," said Brandon Smith, player for the Bulldogs.
The first half finished with the Bulldogs leading the Warhawks 33-21. As the second half got under way, the Warhawks started to close the gap between them and the Bulldogs, coming within six points of them.
They were unable to hold onto that momentum; however, as the Bulldogs commanded another 10-point-plus lead.
As the final minutes of the game wound down, the Warhawks started to play more aggressively and again closed the gap between the teams with the Warhawks barely trailing 54-52 with only 30 seconds left.
With only seconds left in the game, the Warhawks started to play a bit too aggressively, which led to fouls on their part giving the Bulldogs a chance to pull ahead with free-throw shots.
"Can we make those free throws?" was what was going through the minds of Lakitha Lumpkin, coach for the Bulldogs, and Henry Lockett, Bulldog's assistant coach. "The free throws were the main thing [at the end.] We just needed to make one of the free throws," said Lockett.
The Bulldogs sank one of the free throws and beat the Warhawks, ending the game 56-54.
"Everybody put forth a good effort on our team," said Lumpkin, adding that there was no isolated individual that contributed more than another to the Bulldogs win over the Warhawks.
"The Bulldogs consist of military police and firefighters, so we're just building team spirit and camaraderie between the two departments," she said.
