Goodbye sand and suffocating heat. Goodbye political protests, shootings and constant helicopter activity above. Sadly, goodbye to our friends, too. To be honest, we'd grown fond of Bahrain and leaving it was harder than we thought it would be. I clearly remember our last day in Bahrain two weeks ago.
UPS came and collected our boxes for shipping, we handed in our apartment keys, and Ahmed the taxi driver drove us to the airport. We passed two military checkpoints, but, being Westerners, were waved through. We passed the Pearl Roundabout, scene of the terrible shootings last February and gawped at the new highway intersection. Back in February, the Pearl Monument had stood there proudly, the most famous statue in Bahrain. Then the Shi'ite protesters camped under its giant shadow until government forces lost patience and fired on them whilst they slept. Shortly after, the government demolished the monument,… Read more

Railroad traffic shows annual gains for week ending February 26, says AAR
March 04, 2011
Railroad volumes continued their steady upswing with a strong showing for the week ending February 26, according to data released by the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
Carload volume at 296,252 was up 2.4 percent year-over-year and was slightly behind the week ending February 19, which came in at 296,980. It was ahead of the weeks ending February 12, February 5, and January 29, which checked in at 274,043, 267,682, and 291,147, respectively. Carload volume was up 1.7 percent in the East and up 3 percent out West.
On the intermodal side, total trailer and container volume was 220,589 for a 7.2 percent increase over last year. This trailed the previous week at 233,993.
Railroad carload and intermodal volumes continue to show mostly decent annual and sequential gains, although the annual comparisons are abating because comparisons from 2011 to 2010 will not be as significant as those from 2010 to 2009, which was when freight volume declines were steep. And prospects for 2011 look very encouraging, especially in light of recent fourth-quarter and full-year earnings results from multiple Class I carriers, which pointed to continued pricing and volume increases.
Of the 20 commodity groups the AAR tracks, 14 saw annual growth for the week ending February 26, with metallic ores up 78.2 percent, nonmetallic minerals up 12.4 percent, and stone, clay and glass products up 10.4 percent.
Estimated ton-miles for the week were 33.4 billion for a 3.4 percent annual increase, and on a year-to-date basis, the 256.3 billion ton-miles recorded are up 7.1 percent.
Morgan Stanley analyst William Greene wrote in a research note that "rail traffic trends moderated this week due to (1) normalization post last week's rebound from weather-driven disruptions and (2) the Presidents' Day holiday - but remained above levels seen earlier this year continuing the recent, broadly improving volume trend."

The Cleveland Plain Dealer says impending free agent TEs Ben Watson and Alex Smith are unlikely to be re-signed by the Browns.
Watson recently turned 32, and he could be an option to return to New England as a backup and locker room presence. Smith, 31 in May, hasn't been the same player since leaving Tampa Bay in 2009, but he has the ability to play both tight end and fullback. Cleveland is expected to give third-year TE Jordan Cameron every opportunity, but the Plain Dealer wouldn't rule out the Browns targeting Martellus Bennett or Dustin Keller in free agency.

Hi. I am designing a portal and looking to pull emails from the Zimbra server to display to users on their dashboard.
When a user clicks an email link, he is logged in automatically to the Zimbra Web app using the Zimbra Preauth.
This works perfectly on my development machine. However, when tested on the live server, I get an error message:
Problem accessing /service/preauth. Reason:
For input string: "1.365843887E 12"
I suspect the error is due to the timestamp generated (I was able to recreate the problem by assigning "wrong" times
to the timestamp on my development machine). However, I can't think why it should work on the localhost but not on the live server.
By the way, the portal and the zimbra are on the same domain, if that helps.
Thanks.PHP Code:
$PREAUTH_KEY = [My Key];
$WEB_MAIL_PREAUTH_URL = "http://myserver/service/preauth";
$preauthToken = hash_hmac("sha1",$email."|name|0|".$timestamp,$PREAUTH_KEY);
$preauthURL = $WEB_MAIL_PREAUTH_URL."?account=".$email."&by=name×tamp=".$timestamp."&expires=0&preauth=".$preauthToken."&redirectURL=/zimbra/h/";

Transportation Best Practices: Tuesday Morning shifts modes
Left to right: Jerry Kemper, general manager of transportation; Cheryl Bailey , transportation logistics manager; Brian Turner, director of transportation and planning.
February 01, 2012
These days, trucking companies are facing increasing capacity constraints as the economy creeps toward recovery. Equipment is more expensive, drivers are getting harder to find, fuel costs are rising again, government regulations are becoming more restricting, and hours of service could be tightening. And when the economy finally does come around, it could become even more challenging to find precious capacity.
Logistics leadership at Tuesday Morning, a Dallas-based retailer specializing in upscale closeout merchandise with 865 stores across the U.S, saw these potential stumbling blocks forming as early as 2006.
And since Tuesday Morning's stores function on an event basis, its major challenge was getting store merchandise from its origin through distribution channels and into their stores by a specified date and time for their more than 20 specialty sales events per year.
Taking all this into consideration at the time, Tuesday Morning started looking for ways to save money while meeting its tight deadlines—and what the team came up with was a solution ahead of its time. They decided to use rail intermodal out of the West Coast ports to a single, national distribution center (DC) just outside of Dallas.
To make this happen, Tuesday Morning got intermodal help from an unusual source: its trucking partner, Averitt Express. The carrier, like many trucking organizations these days, prides itself on finding multiple solutions for its customers, even when it might involve other modes.
"We started to take a hard look at intermodal for our inbound needs in the fall of 2006 during peak season," says Cheryl Bailey, Tuesday Morning's logistics manager for transportation. "We found that it gave us many options."
Bailey says that because of physical limitations on how much product it could store at its Texas distribution facility, the logistics team realized that it could better manage its inbound flow when freight was put on the train. Line-haul savings were substantial; service was as good or even better than the truck at times; and there were no worries about capacity.
In turn, Tuesday Morning's long-haul solution became as unique as its collection of one-time merchandise it sells in its stores. Here's how the retailer's relationship with its truck carrier lead them to ride the rails to increased profitability and rack up transportation savings that continue to this day.
Give rail a chance
According to Bailey, Tuesday Morning has worked in concert with Averitt, one of its primary truckload (TL) and less-than-truckload (LTL) carriers since 2005. Back in 2006, a portion of Tuesday Morning's product was arriving at Averitt's PortSide distribution center in Long Beach, Calif., and transloaded by the carrier to over-the-road trailers for movement via truck to Farmers Branch, Texas—a gigantic, 1.7-million-square-foot group of facilities located just outside of Dallas.
To get to that facility in the most cost-effective manner, Tuesday Morning began substituting the Union Pacific Railroad (UP) for the 1,420-mile linehaul between Long Beach and Dallas. Service ran about 58 hours. Tuesday Morning's logistics team as well as their carrier partner both claim that the service reliability was identical to truck, with obvious dividends. "Simply put, the rates were better and the capacity was better," says Jerry Kemper, general manager of transportation of Tuesday Morning.
Tuesday Morning's distribution to its network of 865 stories is unique among national retailers in that it has chosen to cover the nation with its one DC in Farmers Branch—a move that puts planning and storage at a premium. In fact, due to the amount of freight coming inbound, the team found that storage actually became limited at the gigantic facility.
The logistics team discovered that with some advanced planning and coordination, rail intermodal deliveries could be spaced adequately apart to help alleviate storage concerns—without sacrificing service.
At the time, Tuesday Morning was utilizing about 30 to 40 core carriers. And while the shippers contacts at Averitt understood that sometimes the deadlines for this link of the supply chain were tight, it felt intermodal services could meet the majority of time demands while earning major savings. "It was an obvious decision," says Bailey.

The advent of the internet and everything that it provides continues to amaze me! I started college way back in 1994 – right about the time that Al Gore was inventing the internet. I only wish there would have been a reason to create a site like this back then. A site that focuses on essay company reviews! To the best of my knowledge – essay companies didn't even exist back then. Certainly not 100% online. And if they did exist, I didn't know about them and neither did any of my friends.
Sure, you could always hire a friend or any local geek to write essays for you – or do any other type of homework for that matter. But that was considered cheating. Apparently – it isn't even considered cheating these days to hire an online essay writing company to do your work for you! The following is posted on the FAQ section of EssayCamp.com – an essay writing service:
5. Cheating and Plagiarism
Q: Is this service legal?
Yes. EssayCamp.com is a division of GlobalWriters LLC, registered at Companies House (Companies House #: 7106763). Both British and American firms have to strictly follow the consumer protection laws, fair trading directives and sale of goods and services legislations. When your consumer rights are violated, you have a simple legal recourse and can easily reclaim your payment. Our services conform 100% to all relevant legislation in the UK, and our staff and clients can be assured that in contracting our services they are not in contravention of any UK laws.
Q: Is it cheating?
Simply put, no.
Essay Writing for Scholarship Applications
When you think about hiring somebody to write an essay for you, you're usually thinking about doing so for help within the context of work that needs to be done to pass a class. Well, what about getting funding just to be able to go to school. Many college students rely and/or hope to fund their college education through scholarships, grants and loans. Scholarships and grants are the best of these because they both provide free money!
Although there are plenty of no essay scholarships available that anybody can apply for, many scholarship applications do in fact require some sort of an essay. Who wants to waste time writing out an entire essay when you have no idea what your chances of actually being awarded the scholarship are?
Here is where the dilemma lies. If you don't have money to pay for college and you plan to spend a lot of time applying for a whole bunch of scholarships – then you probably also don't have money to pay somebody else to write your essays for you. But then again – time is money. If you can find essay writers at the right price, you'll have even more time to fill out more scholarship applications.
Essay Writing Services for Students
So – you can "cheat" your way into college scholarships by having somebody else write your essay for you. Why not have somebody else do the work for you in order to obtain your degree as well? In fact, now that I see the possibilities – I might just go back to college and see how many degrees I can collect. I'll pay for it all with scholarships and then I'll use some of that scholarship money to pay somebody else to do all of the work for me!
The following is published on the Services page of EssayLounge.com – another essay writing services website:
There are so many reasons why students dread when they hear about essay writing assignments from their teachers. One of the main reasons is that they have limited time to complete an essay assignment while also keeping their focus on their homework or other academic tasks at the same time. Such assignments seriously require a great deal of time and efforts. Most of the time, you have to stay up all night to do research and take notes of important material. Worry no more… say Goodbye to All-Nighters and Stress by availing the professional academic writing services of Essay Lounge.
They then go on to list some of the services they offer – complete with detailed explanations. These services include:
- Essays
- Coursework
- Term Papers
- Dissertation
- Thesis
You see what I mean? You really can pay somebody else to do all of the work for you! Dissertation and Thesis! Are you kidding me? To think, there may be doctors in the workforce right now who didn't even complete their own dissertation by themselves. Or people who apparently have their masters degrees – but didn't even work on their own thesis. That is awesome!! The wide wide world of the internet and everything it offers is awesome!
Essay Company Reviews
Now let's see about reviewing some of these essay companies. Do you know of any good or bad essay company websites? Have you had experience using any of these? Maybe you run one of these sites. Would you like me to review it? If so, drop me a line on my contact page.

WTF happened to Marat Safin?!
The Russian baller was spotted arriving at the Perth airport and traveling directly to the Hopman Cup Ball sporting a t-shirt, shorts, and a pretty shiner as his accessory of choice.
The black eye really compliments Marat's oufit I think. Pretty.
Thanks to Uvijek Argen and an anonymous DtL reader for the tip off!
Click here for images of some tennis celebs in their baller best at the party.
UPDATE: From Marat's mouth "I got in trouble in Moscow... I wasn't in the right place at the right time, put it this way. I won the fight. I'm good, I'm okay. It happened a week ago." Good times.

On closer inspection, that looks like *two* shiners. Was it a tennis ball in the eyeball... twice??ReplyDelete
I'll be more than happy to make him feel better and take care of his "eye" ... yeah, eye .. sure.ReplyDelete
He was in a fisticuffs with Rafa over me. Oh, but a girl can dream.ReplyDelete
i'm watching the doubles match right now: dinara played well against pennetta and marat just squeaked by bolelli (although both men didn't play their best), but the doubles has been so fun to watch! some really great rallies. actually, to be honest, dinara is kicking butt and being really aggressive. right now if she were to play against her brother, i would actually bet on her to win -- her heart just seems more in it as well, thus the better performance of the two :)ReplyDelete
buuuut onto the juicy stuff. the commentator started talking about marat's 'shiners' haha. apparently, he got into a fist fight last week in moscow -- and won! haha, wonder what the other guy looks like .... :P
- AnonymousJanuary 4, 2009 at 1:46 AM
Safin arrived in Perth on Saturday night with bruises and cuts on his face, including a heavy bruise under his left eye.ReplyDelete
After Sunday's match, he first joked that the facial injuries came from "working out hard," but then said, without elaborating: "I got in trouble in Moscow. It was much worse ..."
"It's OK, I can survive," Safin said. "Just some small problem that I wasn't in the right place at the right time. Yes, I won the fight. I'm good, I'm OK."
Watched that as well Romi - great stuff..!ReplyDelete
Surely he just got a tennis ball in his eye during training??
Love it when famous people get in fights. maybe we could pit Safin against Steven Gerrard the Liverpool football who was arrested for assault last week. Wonder who would win in a fight?
i thought marat was like cute, he still is cute.......
maybe his termperamental nature got into somebody's temper and they beat each other to shreds, for this matter, got into each other's eyes....
hi rich....
can i be a regular comment-er in your site?
Babz: Hey girl! Welcome back and Happy New Year!!ReplyDelete
Romi: Thanks for the great info on the match. Wow - Safin and Simone on the same court, staring each other down, sweaty and snarling? *wipes drool off chin*
Anon 4:46 - Ha! I'm so curious who he fought with and why. I'm sure it doesn't take much b/c it certainly doesn't on-court. Maybe someone called his girl a pornstar.
Aussie Tennis Bettor: celebrity athlete death match???
Phaura Reinz - of course, comment away!
here's an interesting linkReplyDelete
maybe you already know (Laura Robson asked Marat out for the Wimbledon's champions Ball)but here's the quote:
In July, 14-year-old British hope Laura Robson had been left without her Prince Charming for Wimbledon's champions Ball.
It came after Safin, the men's semi-finalist, declined to accompany her to the event. Instead he sent her a note which read: "Sorry I can't come to the ball, but good luck for your final tomorrow."
What a weird guy. LOLReplyDelete
Anyways, welcome back Babz! Missed ya too!! :-)
Heya guys!! Happeee Nu YEARRRR!!ReplyDelete
Hope you're up for lusty comments for a whole year Rich..
The lustier the better-er!ReplyDelete

Hidden Treasure: Harley Farms Goat Dairy
If you are like me, you probably like to get in your car and get out of town, even if just for a day.
Escape to the Coast
I love to go out to the coast, and especially enjoy the little town of Pescadero. They have Duarte's Tavern, famous for their artichoke soup, a bakery that makes awesome artichoke french bread, and several bed and breakfasts that make for a nice getaway.
Adorable Goats, Delicious Cheese
But did you know that Pescadero is also the home of Harley Farms Goat Dairy? Harley Farms is a restored 1910 dairy farm, with 200 alpine goats on nine acres of pasture. It is a working farmstead dairy that consistently wins the American Cheese Society awards, and hold two international World Cheese Show medals. You can taste & purchase any of their freshly made cheeses, take a tour, or attend one of their special events that includes a farm tour, five-course seasonal dinner, flowers, and candlelight in their restored Victorian hayloft.
About a year ago, Foster City Library had a cheese education program with special guests from the Cowgirl Creamery. Let us know if you think it's time for more cheese!

Author Bio:
Barbara S. is currently a Library Assistant for the Foster City Library. When asked to participate in library eBranch blogging, her immediate response was "yes". There was just one problem. . .she had no idea what a blog really is, since spending time "surfing the web" is not one of her favorite pastimes. That said, she decided that the opportunity to do something new, especially since it involved writing, was worth the time it would take to conquer the dreaded learning curve.
Great idea
Yum! Harley Farm made for a fun 4th of July weekend outing. Our favorite cheese had edible flowers on top and was especially nice on the artichoke bread from Arcangeli Grocery.

Man of letters: Boomer postmaster publishes first fiction
BOOMER, W.Va. -- Without question, Robert Maroney is a man of letters. By day, he is postmaster of the Boomer Post Office, and now he has written his first book of fiction. His first creative outlets were musical, he said. He plays and writes music. But he said he always wondered what it would be like to write a book. Now his novel "55 Graves" is available both as a traditional book and as an e-book. "I thought it would be fun to write a book and indulge a fantasy. I just wanted to see if I could do it." When he sits down to read, Maroney likes history and detective stories. His favorite detective writers are James Patterson and John Sandford. "I have always been fascinated by why people commit crimes," he said. "I've always been drawn to the psychological aspects of crime." In his book, he imagines a horrific collection of misfits who work their way toward the number of bodies counted in the book's title. He also decided before he wrote the book that he wanted his detectives to be "just guys. They drink beer. They tell guy jokes." He did not want to write about detectives who are carrying around wounds from other cases or tragic events in their lives. Maroney has clearly borrowed from his own life story when he imagined his fictional detective, Nicholas Pearce. Maroney is the father of a son and daughter, just like the detective, and he lives in a neighborhood just like Maroney's neighborhood. "Write what you know," he said. "I drink beer and love WVU football." So does his detective. He also set parts of the novel in many West Virginia locations: Parsons, Flatwoods and Clarksburg, for example. Both his daughter and his wife read his drafts and encouraged him to keep writing, he said. The 58-year-old Maroney was born in St. Albans and spent 22 years in the Air Force. He has no background in law or forensic investigation, two subjects he writes about in his book. He published the book himself, and he said he is getting good reviews online. "I sent it to a few places, but when you are an unknown writer it is almost impossible to get someone to take on your book. No one wants to take chances with an unknown writer. I have never done anything like this before. I am learning about distribution. "It's not going to win any literary prizes, but it's not a bad little story," he said. Readers should be aware it is full of violent scenes. Reach Susan Williams at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5112.


text: By Jan RahnManaging Editor The community of Wallace was highlighted throughout the state last week when one of its residents became a millionaire. Scott Leatherman was the winner of $1 million on June 20 with his Powerball ticket with a Power Play prize. Leatherman, who grew up in Casper, Wyo., said he has played the lottery for years, usually ordering Powerball Quick Picks and tacking on the $1 Power Play. "I always knew in my heart I was due to win!" said the 49-year-old. Leatherman's ticket was purchased at Ozzie's gas station and convenience store at the I-80 interchange near Sutherland. "I don't even have my winning ticket!" he chuckled. Leatherman is single and works at Scoular Company in Wallace. He said his plans with his winnings are to pay off all of his debts, the debts of his father and three brothers, fix up the house and maybe someday start his own business. Leatherman has been playing the lottery since 1996 in Colorado. He moved from Denver to Nebraska in March 2008 and continues to play twice a week. His move to Wallace centered around taking care of his parents who became residents of the small community in 1996 when his father retired from Texaco in El Paso, Texas. They found Wallace in an ad in the paper while they were in Colorado visiting Leatherman's brother. They made a trip to Nebraska to visit friends and stopped through Wallace, ending up buying a house. Leatherman's mother died in May 2008, so his focus has been on caring for his elderly father and managing his affairs. In September 2008, Leatherman began working at Scoular. He had previously done a lot of traveling with his former employment at Phillips Services Corporation in Denver, a company that hydroblast cleans powerplants and refineries. Becoming a recent millionaire hasn't altered his lifestyle any—Leatherman has been at work each day except for time off to travel to Lincoln on June 22 to turn in his ticket and receive his winnings, which the federal government will get 25 percent of and the state five percent. Besides Leatherman, who was the $1 million Powerball winner ($200,000 multiplied by the automatic Power Play 5X multiplier), there were more than 19,000 other Nebraska Lottery winners in the Saturday, June 20, drawings. Among them was a MyDaY $5,000 top prize winner, which was sold at Black Bart's Shell in York. The $88 million Powerball jackpot was won on a ticket sold in North Carolina.

Cyclone Notebook
- Iowa State (6-0, 0-0) improved to 6-0 with a win over Auburn Monday and is looking to start 7-0 for the first time since the 2003-04 season when it faces Northern Iowa Saturday at the Hy-Vee Big Four Classic in Des Moines. ISU is 2-2 all-time at Wells Fargo Arena.
- The Cyclones are ranked No. 17 in The Associated Press poll for the second week in a row. ISU comes in at No. 18 in the USA Today Coaches Poll.
- Iowa State is averaging 99.7 points in the last three games. The Cyclones' season average of 91.8 points per game ranks second in the Big 12 behind only Oklahoma State (91.9). The offense, which is top-10 nationally, is one of just three teams with six players averaing in double figures (Charlotte, Florida).
- Iowa State has been riding the strong play of newcomer DeAndre Kane. Kane, who has twice been named the Big 12's Newcomer of the Week, is averaging 15 points, 7.5 rebounds and 5.1 assists. He is the only conference player ranking in the top-10 of scoring, rebounding and assisting.
- Iowa State is sharing the rock with assists coming on 63.1 percent of its 195 field goals (75.3 percent of field goals in the last two games). The Cyclones lead the Big 12 in assists (20.5) and assist-to-turnover ratio (1.8). In the last two games, ISU boasts a 3.1 assist/turnover ratio. Freshman Monté Morris has been sensational in those two games, dishing out 16 assists with no turnovers.
- On top of being strong offensively, Iowa State has improved defensively this season. The Cyclones top the Big 12 in field goal percentage defense (35.2) and 3-point defense (25.4) and are second in scoring defense (65.2).
- Dustin Hogue grabbed 16 rebounds in Iowa State's win against Auburn. The Cyclones have outrebounded all but one opponent (Michigan, -1) and currently own a +10.0 rebounding margin. ISU boasts a smaller lineup, but has three elite rebounders in Hogue (9.8, first in Big 12), Melvin Ejim (8.0) and Kane (7.5, T-6th). Ejim would be tied for fifth in rebounding had he not missed the first two games of the season.
- Ejim recorded the 23rd double-double of his career and the first this season against Auburn, finishing with 14 points and 10 rebounds. The preseason All-Big 12 pick returned after missing two games and is leading Iowa State with 17 points per game.
Iowa State vs. Auburn Recap
- Iowa State dished out 28 assists on 33 field goals and Dustin Hogue dominated with 22 points and 16 rebounds in 31 minutes as ISU defeated Auburn, 99-70, Monday night to improve to 6-0 for the 12th time in school history.
- Hogue hit 8-of-10 shots from the field and had a double-double at the 8:31 mark of the first half.
- The Cyclones connected on 13-of-35 three-pointers after starting 0-of-8 from behind the arc. ISU has hit 10 or more threes in four of six games this season.
- Hogue was joined in double figures by Melvin Ejim (14), Matt Thomas (14), Monté Morris (12) and Naz Long (11). It was the fifth time this season that the Cyclones had five players in double figures. Each occurence has been by a different combination of players.
- Ejim posted his first double-double this season, finishing with 10 boards to go along with his 14 points. It was the 23rd double-double of his career.
Morris (9), DeAndre Kane (7), Thomas (2) and Long (2) combined for 20 assists and no turnovers.
- Thomas hit a career-high four 3-pointers. The freshman has had multiple threes in five of six career games.
- The Cyclones hit 20-of-25 free throws in the game.
Iowa State Team Trends

It goes without saying that Miley Cyrus has generated quite a bit of attention for herself the past few months. Though some may shake their head at the provocative performances and the minimal amount of clothing, there's no denying the amount of people who enjoy her music.
That includes 11-year-old Joyce Jimenez from the Philippines. In fact, Jimenez is so passionate about Cyrus' song "Wrecking Ball" that she has no problem belting out the song for the public to see.
Although Jimenez is blind and must follow along to braille lyrics, nothing seems to stop this talented girl from letting her voice shine.
The video, which was released less than a week ago, has already been going viral and has gathered over 480,000 views. Clearly, it's for good reason. Check out the cover below and don't be surprised if you catch yourself with goosebumps.

Portland, OR (SportsNetwork.com) - The Portland Trail Blazers are proving
their hot start is not a fluke.
Two days after beating the NBA-best Indiana Pacers, the Blazers used an all-
around effort from LaMarcus Aldridge to dispose of the Oklahoma City Thunder,
111-104, at Moda Center.
Aldridge finished with 38 points, 13 rebounds and five assists in leading the
Blazers to a seventh straight home victory. Robin Lopez added 12 points and 10
rebounds, and Nicolas Batum capped his 14-point night with a back-breaking 3-
pointer down the stretch.
Kevin Durant poured in 33 points to lead the Thunder, who had their eight-game
winning streak snapped. Russell Westbrook had 21 points on 7-on-17 shooting in
the setback.
Oklahoma City had also won seven in a row against its division rival but
failed to keep Portland from improving to 16-3 on the season.

AMA Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero Flash Tours have been going strong all fall and will continue into the winter months. Motorcycle riders across the country have been submitting themed pictures on the AMA Facebook page in hopes of being chosen to appear in American Motorcyclist and win prizes.
The most recent winner is Tony Rudy, who won the Planes, Trains & (Cool) Automobiles Flash Tour that ended on Dec. 3, and collected a $100 gift certificate from 2012 series sponsor Kawasaki. Rudy, from Lansing, N.Y., got this shot of his 1989 Katana 1100 at March Field Air Museum at March Air Reserve Base just southeast of Riverside, CA..
We decided to follow-up Tony's AMA Kawasaki Vulcan Vaquero Flash Tour win with a short interview to get some insight into his motorcycle riding background.
What do you ride?
I have a high-mileage 1989 Suzuki GSX-1100F Katana that I bought in 1993 and also a 1997 Suzuki DR350SE that I purchased about eight years ago. At the time I bought the Katana, I figured I'd have it for about three to six years and then upgrade, as I did with my previous street bike. Well, after getting married, moving from coast to coast twice and having a son born since that purchase, a newer bike hasn't really been in the financial picture. When I found the DR for a really good price with very low miles, I couldn't refuse buying it. Besides, it got me back into the dirt, which is where I started riding as a teenager.
Can you tell us the story behind your winning picture?
I think a little background is needed first. I moved from upstate New York to southern California for a job a while back. I was excited to explore all the great roads in southern California and nearby states and took many short and long trips while I was there. Going from riding an average of 4,000 miles a year to 12,000 a year was a wonderful thing.
I have an aviation management degree and have worked in airport operations and management since 1992, and I've always had an attraction to aviation. Many times I would gear my rides to visit aviation-related places, such as Mojave Airport's bone yard, Edwards Air Force Base for their 50th anniversary air show or a trip up to San Bernardino Airport just to see the second Boeing 747 to come off the assembly line. By the way, the 747 was just sitting quietly in a state of disrepair before later being moved to South Korea to become an unsuccessful restaurant for a short time, but that's another story in itself.
The particular trip I took for the picture I submitted involved a nice ride on Angeles Crest Highway -- one of my favorite roads in that area -- and a stop at the March Field Air Museum just southeast of Riverside. With the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk displayed out front on an unusually clear day, the picture was obvious.
How long have you been riding?
About 31 years now.
What type of riding do you like to do and why?
I enjoy both street and dual-sport riding. On the street, it's mostly sport touring when I'm not commuting to work, but not very much in recent years. I like to say that my longest commute was about 520 miles one day when I left Roanoke, Va., after visiting Deals Gap and the Blue Ridge Parkway, and detoured into work in Ithaca, N.Y., while on my way home.
I've been doing more dual-sport riding lately. Although there isn't an abundance of trails nearby, I still have fun on seasonal roads and other places that are not too far from home. It's great just to get out for a couple of hours and ride. Really, I'll look for any excuse to get the bike out when I'm not busy with projects at home or at work.
What interested you in AMA Flash Tours?
It just seemed like a fun way to get out and look at things a little differently while enjoying a nice ride.
What are some other cool rides you've been on this year?
There were really no spectacular destinations or unusual things to report on from the rides I've taken this year. The most enjoyable have been the ones out in farm country near sunset when everything is peaceful, the sky is glowing and the bike is humming along. Another one was just last week on an unusually warm December evening, riding though a quiet, starlit countryside on my way to a snowmobile club meeting.
Are there any awesome rides you're looking forward to?
I look forward to all of them, but no, nothing planned right now. I'd love to ride the Trans-America Trail for my 50th birthday in a few years, but I'd probably settle for a dual-sport ride closer to home.
What's the craziest thing you've seen out on the open road?
I was once riding on Angeles Crest Highway and observed an unusually fast aircraft (or at least the contrail) in the distance over the high desert making insanely quick maneuvers at incredible speeds. That was the day I understood how some people would claim to have seen UFOs. Another crazy thing I've seen was an ordinary SUV sliding down the 91 Freeway near Yorba Linda...on its side.
What are you going to buy with the $100 gift certificate you won in the last AMA Flash Tour from series sponsor Kawasaki?
I really need to replace my old Gaerne Boots. They've been a great pair of boots, but after 14 years the toe sliders have been ground off, the shifter pad has disintegrated and the soles are coming apart. Many recent rides in the rain have really done them in and forced me to finally retire them.

IBM PureSystems: It's all about the network - Part I
Every few years, IBM announces some major innovation in the way computers are designed, used or deployed. You might remember the transition from CMOS to BiCMOS mainframes, copper-doped ASICs, or open source Linux for the enterprise. Each of these represented a major shift in the way we think about and use computational power to accomplish a huge variety of tasks. Recently, IBM announced its latest innovation, the PureSystems platform of integrated servers, storage and networking.
By now, you've probably seen at least some information about how PureSystems accelerates cloud deployments, simplifies the data center, and consolidates computing resources. But, I'm a networking guy, so my view of the world is a bit different. Much like the famous view of the world as seen from New York City , when I look at PureSystems, I see a lot of advanced servers, storage, and software hanging off the true technological marvel – the integrated data center network.
At the risk of appearing a bit single-minded, I'd like to talk about one of the unsung heroes of the PureSystems revolution, namely the networking technology that ties PureSystems together. And then I'd like to point out that not only is the network a key part of PureSystems, it's got the potential to drive the next series of big innovations on this platform, and maybe even across the computing industry.
Let's start with a quick review of the PureSystems network.
First, it's designed for flexibility; you can choose a combination of networking protocols, including Fibre Channel (up to 16 Gbit/second), Ethernet (10 to 40 Gbit/second), or InfiniBand (QDR and FDR data rates). You can plug up to four switches into a PureSystems chassis, and link multiple chassis together using the 10, 40 or 10/40GbE IBM System Networking RackSwitch top of rack (TOR) switches. This lets you scale PureSystems from a single chassis, up through multi-rack systems (where a rack can hold up to 4 chassis).
PureSystems also supports a virtual Ethernet switch running in the hypervisor, the IBM Distributed Switch 5000v. IBM's virtual switches, blade switches, and TORs all support industry standards including switch-resident IBM VMready with IEEE 802.1Qbg to enable VM migration (either between VMs on the same physical server, or across multiple physical servers).
And, this platform makes really good use of server virtualization; each chassis can hold up to 14 half-wide blade servers or 7 full-wide blade servers, running your choice of workloads on Linux, Windows, or AIX. Yes, I said AIX…you can plug either IBM Power microprocessor blades or Intel x86 blades into a PureSystems chassis. With around 160 servers in a 4 rack system, even a moderately virtualized system can fit over 1,600 VMs quite comfortably. That's a tremendous amount of compute power in a relatively small package, and it comes pre-integrated with a single system manager that lets you manage all the physical and virtual resources in the system (without any third party tools).
Now that we know a bit about the networking technology inside PureSystems, why should we get excited about it ? Tune in to Part II of my blog to find out! Meanwhile, let me know what you think about the importance of networking for integrated systems by commenting on my blog, or through my Twitter feed.

|An ongoing task
|Written by Deb Daniel, general manager, RRWCD
Recently letters have been submitted to the editor of this newspaper questioning decisions made by the Republican River Water Conservation District. Like political attack ads, these letters do not tell the whole story.
This is nothing new to the district. It has been an ongoing task to inform the public and to try to continue to re-educate some individuals about the decisions made by the directors. The district board understands that not every member of the public will always agree with its decisions.
Find a solution or...
From the moment Congress approved the Republican River Compact in 1943, it became operative and binding federal law. In 1999 Kansas filed a lawsuit in the U.S. Supreme Court against Nebraska to enforce the terms of the compact. Colorado was brought into the lawsuit as a defendant.
In 2003 the lawsuit was settled based on a "Final Settlement Stipulation." To insure compliance with the compact, the stipulation imposed limits on the use of water in the basin. Each of the three states had to comply with the compact and the Final Settlement Stipulation.
In Colorado, well owners were facing the prospect of curtailment (shut off) of large-capacity wells for many years, possibly decades. Curtailment was not a path anyone wanted, but it appeared to be reality. Alternatives had to be considered.
In December 2004, the state legislature created the district to assist the state in complying with the compact and the Final Settlement Stipulation. The RRWCD board of directors rolled up their sleeves, made difficult decisions, and in less than a decade has put Colorado in a position where it can be in compliance.
RRWCD is represented by your friends and neighbors
The 15 members of the district board are chosen to represent each of the seven groundwater management districts, each of the seven counties in the basin, and the Colorado Groundwater Commission.
Some board members farm mostly dryland, while others own or rent predominately irrigated acres. Currently, three members are young and just getting started farming, some have been farming for years, while others are retired. One director is a former brand inspector, and another is a county commissioner.
Members of this board are your friends and neighbors. They understand the importance of irrigated agriculture to the economy of the basin, and they do not take their responsibilities lightly.
Decisions are researched extensively
Contrary to what some people seem to think, decisions made by the district board are researched carefully. Projects and proposals are investigated, expert opinions and public comments are considered, and numerous discussions are held before decisions are made.
The steps Colorado and the RRWCD must take to achieve compact compliance are complicated. Decisions made by the district board that may appear to be simple on the surface are, in fact, quite complex. As with most businesses, board decisions often involve confidential negotiation and compromise.
Once an agreement is signed, the district will not consider breaking a contract on a whim or simply because someone disagrees with the board's decision.
It is easy to ignore the reasons why decisions have been made and to make criticisms based solely on hindsight. The current comments about the district's lease of water rights acquired for the Compact Compliance Pipeline is just such an exercise.
The board is confident that most residents in the basin won't be influenced by criticisms leveled several years after a complicated public decision was made by a unanimous board.
Compact Compliance Pipeline update
Construction of the Compact Compliance Pipeline is completed. Currently the SCADA control system is being tested and the final punch list items are being finalized.
The pipeline is capable of delivering water to the North Fork of the Republican River approximately one-half mile upstream of the measurement station. This gaging station is maintained in cooperation with the Republican River Compact Administration and is measured every two weeks for accuracy by Colorado Division of Water Resources and/or United States Geological Service.
Colorado is pursuing 100 percent credit for the water delivered by the Pipeline. Nebraska has already approved Colorado's resolution for 100 percent credit. Currently, Colorado and Kansas are negotiating the amount of credit Colorado will receive for the water delivered by the pipeline.
The Sandhills Ground Water Management District has also approved the export of water from the SGWMD if Colorado receives 100 percent credit for the pipeline deliveries. Until Kansas has agreed to 100 percent credit for pipeline deliveries, the district cannot begin pipeline deliveries due to the Sandhill District's order.
Everyone knows that...
Irrigation has enabled small ag-based communities in the tri-state region to grow and prosper. The Colorado Legislature created the district so the local communities in the basin would have a say in how Colorado would achieve compact compliance, and the RRWCD continues to work toward that goal.
By making decisions on your behalf, the district board has tried to ensure that Colorado residents and businesses throughout the basin will continue to benefit from the financial gain to the region from irrigated agriculture.
Looking into the future...
The RRWCD is considering its role in the conservation of the Ogallala Aquifer. In recent years, compliance with the Republican River Compact has been the principal focus of the RRWCD. During upcoming board meetings, the district will be deciding what actions to take to assist in the management and conservation of our most precious commodity—water.
The RRWCD board meetings are open to the public. Quarterly meetings are held throughout the basin so interested citizens may observe and comment on matters that come before the board. Minutes of board meetings are available on the district website: www.republicanriver.com.

BEIJING (AP) — San Francisco 49ers great Joe Montana says the controversy involving Miami Dolphins players Jonathan Martin and Richie Incognito will work itself out.
The Hall of Fame quarterback was at the Great Wall of China on Monday on a tour to promote football in a country where few are familiar with the sport.
Montana said bullying was common in the NFL, although more information is needed to determine what exactly happened between Martin and Incognito.
He said the locker room is a "fun, crazy place," but added, "it's a tough place, too, sometimes."
An NFL special investigator will question players this week about what happened between Martin and Incognito.
Montana says "it'll figure itself out."

Frost Family Goodie Containers Crochet Pattern
Snowmen are usually constructed by children; however, adults sometimes also participate in making snowmen. This activity dates back to at least the Middle Ages, when in Europe every new snowfall would have townsfolk making snowmen on the streets. Snowmen are considered a symbol of the Christmas holidays and winter season for many people. Jump into the fun of making snowmen with the Frost Family Goodie Containers Pattern. This easy to crochet family of frosty faces covers plastic containers so you can store items inside. Frost Family Goodie Containers Pattern includes instructions for three sizes of snowmen; Dad, mom and small child. Make as many snowmen as you want for a complete family of frosty snow piles.
Frost Family Goodie Containers Crochet Pattern uses worsted-weight yarn for a thick and durable texture. Place a recycled plastic container inside the snowman to hold candy, kitchen gadgets, bathroom necessities or personal items in your bedroom. The crochet covers the outside of the container so no one can see what it inside. This cute family of snowmen make a great gift for people at work, friends or family that you can't figure out what to get them. With three sizes available, you are sure to cover almost any plastic container you have on hand. Make all three for a complete set that will look nice on your counter. Think of all the items you can hide inside these attractively covered containers. Pull them out for Christmas and hide treats inside without anyone knowing where the goodies went. Use leftover yarn and recycled containers for a low cost craft project.

Associated Press Release
GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) -- An emergency room doctor from Georgia was among those assisting victims of the Boston Marathon bombing moments after the blasts.
Allan Panter of Gainesville was waiting for his wife Theresa to cross the marathon finish line on Monday when a bomb went off about 30 feet away from him.
Panter is the emergency room director at a North Carolina hospital, and he got to work helping victims within seconds.
Panter tells The Times of Gainesville he was no different than other witnesses who tried to help out after the blasts.
Among the people Panter helped was 29-year-old Krystle Campbell, who later died. Panter also treated a man who lost both legs in the bombing.

Lazzara 84By Capt. Patrick Sciacca
The boat's ensign looks starch-stiff. It's blowing 20-plus knots, and white-tipped four- to six-footers roll in steady sets. From the flying bridge 20-plus feet above the frothing water, I see a Gulf Stream horizon that looks like Monet's "Rough Sea at Etretat." Perfect.
Beneath my feet sits 135,000 pounds of time-tested hull, stout construction, and first-rate craftsmanship. I'm onboard the Lazzara 84, and she engages the sea without pause: 25 mph, 30 mph, 36 mph display on my radar gun. She's now making 36.5 mph, spray is exploding to the sides with depth-charge-like force as the twin 1,550-hp C30 Caterpillars hum along at 2315 rpm and the 38x46 five-blade Rolla props chew up the water and hurtle this behemoth forward.
The 84 is putting the big hurt on the ocean today thanks to her modified-V, single-strake, shallow-keel hull that's constructed of vacuum-bagged triaxial unidirectional fiberglass with balsa coring in her hull, deck, and flying bridge to add stiffness but not weight. There's also solid fiberglass in her keel, chines, and hull-penetration areas for extra strengthening. Her keel is reinforced additionally with cement.
"Run her beam-to," instructs Dick Lazzara, owner and chief designer of Lazzara Yachts, turning over the wheel as he disappears down the steps to starboard just abaft the flying-bridge Jacuzzi to check on some things below. I note the heading. She's tracking steady while beam-to the seas. American Bow Thruster's two-fin hydraulic stabilizers snub most of the roll as we run in the trough. Her engine-driven power-assist steering is real-time responsive. Out of curiosity I turn her upsea with the help of the custom-designed solid-cast stainless steel rudders, and the 84 easily splits the seas with her fine entry. Occasionally she dips her bow through a wave, yet spray isn't reaching up to the flying bridge.
As well as she's handling, she's also quiet. After my wring-out I head below to the main-deck starboard-side helm station to get some decibel readings. I take my first at 1000 rpm. Fifty-eight dB-A? Heck, 65 is the level of normal conversation! I shake the unit. Check the batteries. Check them again. The low readings continue as speed increases: 59, 61, until we're at WOT and my meter is clocking 71. This is library quiet. Lazzara explains that sound attenuation is a major goal, and that the quiet stems in part from the drivetrain. Basically, it's a huge strut molded out of stainless steel that absorbs a fair amount of sound. Lazzara also floats its floors: Between the sole and stringers are a hundred or so quarter-inch-size rubber doughnuts that absorb vibration. Even the urethane used to secure the sole has sound-absorbent properties. Yet the surface under my feet is solid as a rock, thanks in part to one 70-plus-foot main-deck plate that is bonded to the hull, creating a monocoque structure that minimizes creaking and cracking. The bulkheads are also cored and have isolators between the structure and the finished surface. "Almost like a soundroom," Lazzara says, adding, "Any sound that hits that panel is isolated in the wall." Of course, the underwater exhaust also contributes.
These are just a few ways the 84 benefits from her builder's obsession with high-end technology, but it doesn't come at the price of luxury. Take, for instance, the Jacuzzi, bar, and Miele electric grill on the flying bridge. Or her full-beam master with double-sink-equipped en suite head, her formal dining room for six, her optional satin-finish pecan wood (cherry is standard), and her contemporary galley featuring names like Sub-Zero, GE, and KitchenAid.
That galley is also functional, thanks to a food-prep island on centerline, and its proximity to the lower helm and dinette enables the chef, captain, and guests to congregate. If you prefer privacy from the helm area, the main saloon can be closed off with a pocket door, which is great onboard when space is at premium. The luxury even extends to her engine room, where a bright, diamond-plate decking reflects the overhead lights, making the room bright. Six-foot six-inch headroom enables the tallest technician to maneuver around and between the powerplants, just behind which are twin 21.5-kW Onan gensets.
If you like being at sea, the 84 is geared for exploring. Consider her dual-anchor setup and standard Maxwell 4000 dual-anchor windlass, guaranteeing a solid hook set just off that never-been-seen beach and her Novurania tender with 50-hp Yamaha four-stroke for finding that cove to call your own. Of course, her solid build, luxurious appointments, and seven staterooms, including two crew quarters abaft the engine room, don't hurt.
Suffice it to say, Lazzara's 84 has her Is dotted and her Ts crossed. While her standards list is impressive, her technology is at or ahead of the curve, and her luxury is obvious, this vessel shows her best side when she's duking it out with a big sea. And her builder wouldn't have it any other way.

Air Ambulance
From Grand Theft Wiki
The Air Ambulance is an emergency helicopter in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories.
The Air Ambulance shares the same helicopter design as the Armadillo (barring a different livery), thus being based on the Bell 412. Like the Armadillo, the Air Ambulance is a relatively large helicopter that nevertheless possesses relatively good speed, with moderately steep pitches that help increase its acceleration at the expense of losing altitude faster.
The Air Ambulance can be used to activate Air Rescue side missions, the airborne equivalent of the Ambulance's Paramedic side mission. Completion of the side mission will boast the player's maximum health.
- Both sides of the Air Ambulance's nose bear cursively written text. Due to the poor quality of its texture, the words are somewhat hard to identify.
- "VCS - 911" is also written on both sides of the helicopter at the turbine engines. 911 is clearly referring to the main emergency number in the United States, but the "VCS" abbreviation, whether coincidental or not, is also a short form for GTA Vice City Stories' title.

- On the roof of Schuman Health Care Center in Downtown, Vice City, after "From Zero To Hero".

MILLERSVILLE, Md. (WUSA) -- Fire officials have identified the woman who died last week in a fire in the Gambrills area of Anne Arundel County.
Authorities say 92-year-old Blanche Anderson was found on the floor of the home, rescued by firefighters but later pronounced dead at the scene. A 15-year-old boy was able to escape without injury before firefighters arrived there.
According to authorities, Anne Arundel County firefighters were dispatched to the 1300 block of Tenbrook Road at approximately 5:30 p.m. They saw smoke and fire coming from a home in a two story, duplex-style building.
Crews were able to get into the home and found Anderson on the first floor. She was unconscious and unresponsive. They then moved her out of the building and took her to paramedics. The paramedics determined she had suffered fatal injuries and pronounced her dead.
Her death marks the sixth fire death in the county in 2012.
Authorities say a neighbor heard calls for help coming from another resident of the home. That resident, a 15-year-old boy, was forced to escape out of a second floor window because of heavy smoke. He was able to make it out safely.
In 30 minutes, firefighters were able to bring the fire under control.
The fire caused an estimated $150,000 in damages, according to authorities.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

Long gone are the days when a pair of jeans wasn't seen outside of the ballpark or supermarket. Denim has evolved over the years into a wardrobe force to be reckoned with (and we couldn't be happier). But with so many different washes out there, how do you know which one is the most appropriate for the occasion at hand? Read up, then shop away (no guilt necessary).
1. Dark Blue
The dressiest (and most versatile) of all blue jeans. Swap out flats for heels for a quick desk-to-date outfit change.
2. Classic Blue
The trademark denim wash, this medium blue hue is meant for laid-back dressing (just add a rhinestone sweatshirt).
3. Super Light
Warm-weather dressing at its finest. Throw these on with a light-colored, airy top and some sky-high espadrilles.
4. Black
These ebony jeans can pass as trousers. Pair them with a blazer and blouse for an office-ready look any day of the week.
Our James Jeans Boutique opens Sunday, January 20, at 11AM ET.

A Two-Night Two-Target Lunar Sketch Time
Posted 06 June 2009 - 12:31 AM
With the terminator (the boundary between lunar day and night) just beyond the area, the line of the valley stood out in a way I had not seen it before. With an Alt-Az mount it took some constant adjustment to keep the proper field of view, but the work was worth it. I captured only a fraction of the detail but I will not forget some of the features.
Tonight the area was in full light, but if one runs a line through Aristarchus and Herodotus and extends it toward the terminator, it runs through Seleucus, which was tonight's target. The terminator, in this case, sliced the crater so that only a couple ridges had a tiny sliver of light beyond the farthest crater wall. Seleucus at Lunar Dawn
If sketch memories were not enough, I invited some strangers in the campground to take a look at the moon tonight. It delayed my start on Seleucus by an hour, but the smiles and outcries of the three children (two small girls and an older brother) and the grandparents made the two-night sketch period all the more special. Just like clockwork, as soon as they saw Saturn, they said "wowâ€, and similar comments followed a review of moon craters and Arcturus. It was fitting to comment about the wonder of the created heavens several times. As the grandmother left, she echoed my sentiments with a simple quote from a song: "How great thou art!â€

Two excellent observations of Vallis Schroter/Aristarchus region and Seleucus. You have captured the Schroter Valley region very nicely. The lighting was perfect to show detail over this region. Seleucus looks very nice as well on the terminator. Thank you for sharing them with us all.
Posted 11 June 2009 - 02:57 PM
Very nice work on your sketches. I especially like your drawing of the Aristarchus Plateau and Schroter's Valley. I have not yet attempted to sketch that area--it is certainly eye catching.

All states should agree to a multiplier of 10x or less.
ie resident elk tag, $50, then a non-res elk tag would be $500.
1 horrible example is MT, resident elk tag $20, non-resident $794, that's a 40x multiplier!!!
That means if you sell 1 non-resident an elk tag, you need to sell 40 residents an elk tag to generate the same amount of revenue!
Also once-in-a-lifetime type tags should be the same price as non-residents or at least more than they currently are, tell me a resident wouldn't apply for a desert bighorn sheep if the tag cost $100 vs. $30?? after 30+ years of applying I think a resident could fork over $100 for that tag.
There's no reason non-residents should be forced to subsidize resident's tag fees.
I'd love to see Eastmans' Poll this
What should non-residents pay?
A. The same as residents
B. 5x or less
C. 6-10x
D. More than 10x, Anything they want, the max they can get, 43x in some cases.

Unlisted Indian firms Tata Sons Ltd, Arun Bhatia's Telestra Tradeplace Pvt Ltd and Malaysia's AirAsia Bhd Asia's biggest budget carrier, said on Wednesday they are seeking approval to establish a joint venture - Ratan Tata's successor Cyrus Mistry is looking to quickly stamp his authority on the group - the move will mark return of the Indian conglomerate to aviation sector.
AirAsia has applied to Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB) to take 49 per cent in a venture with Tata Sons Ltd and Arun Bhatia's Telestra Tradeplace Pvt Ltd, the low-fare carrier said in a statement.
Once approved, they will seek an air operators permit. The move follows government's recent decision to allow foreign carriers to invest in Indian airlines.
Tata Sons, the holding company of the USD 100 billion salt-to-software conglomerate, will hold 30 per cent in the joint venture but will not have any operating role in the airline.
This will mark the return of Tata to aviation. State-owned Air India had grown out of Tata Airlines, which began flights in 1932.
More than a decade back, it had joined Singapore Airlines to bid for a stake in Air India. The plan did not materialise as the government dropped disinvestment plans due to stiff political opposition.
The proposed joint venture will operate from Chennai and will focus on providing domestic connectivity to Tier-II and Tier-III cities, statement by the Malaysian carrier from its headquarters in Sepang said.
As per current rules, a carrier must complete five years of domestic operations before becoming eligible for starting overseas flights.
AirAsia, through its operations based in Thailand and Malaysia, flies to Chennai, Bangalore, Kochi, Tiruchirappalli and Kolkata in addition to 20 countries across Asia.
AirAsia, Tatas and Hindustan Aviation of Bhatias have signed a partnership agreement for the venture.
"We have carefully evaluated developments in India over the past few years and strongly believe that the current environment is perfect to introduce AirAsia's low fares which stimulate travel and grow the market," AirAsia founder and Group Chief Executive Tony Fernandes said in the statement.
It was in September last year that the government decided to open up the aviation sector to Foreign Direct Investment from foreign carriers.
Air Asia has made the move to invest even as Etihad and Jet Airways continue to work towards finalising a deal for the Gulf carrier to invest in Jet.
For the USD 100 billion Tata Group, this would be its second foray into the aviation segment after

For a natural look, a stain color is applied and then hand-rubbed into the wood ensuring rich, consistent color coverage.
- Stains enhance the inherent beauty of each wood type. Natural characteristics such as wood grain, mineral streaks and knots become more prominent, which may create lighter or darker effects in the color.
- The color of a stain can vary on the various parts of the same door. End grain and veneer absorb more stain than other wood components of the door, resulting in a darker color.

My husband is not a great fish lover but I did some steamed cod and sprinkled it with this salt blend and he actually asked for seconds! Don't just save it for seafood though, it was great in a simple tomato soup too.

Some tennis fans are starting to think that Nike is making a girlie-man out of the world no. 1.
Back in April, an astute DtL! reader wondered why Nike was putting the always fashionable Roger Federer in women's trends this season. Well it seems like the global sports brand is at it again this fortnight and some fans aren't happy.
Reader barcelona2012 had this to say about Fed's French Open fashion,
...the white on the sleeves is so girlish. I think it's just the angle, but that photo on the left makes it look like it's a puckered, cap sleeve type shirt.An anonymous commenter took it another step further saying,
i just emailed nike.com to ask why they are making Rog look like a girl. I don't even like the dated white collar and cuffs look on girls. a million UGHS.Is this a Nike coincidence or conspiracy? Do tell!
