FBI wants Sam JainBy Techgirl
Regular readers of Techgoss are well aware that a large number of our articles are crowd sourced. People send in tips, photos, story ideas and even articles. Many of our contributors have full times jobs in IT - ITES, and so prefer using a pseudonym.
We received the following Tip from one of our regular Tipsters who also works as a Tech journalist
"Today (Oct 3, 2012) one of America's most respected blog Ars Technica published a detailed story on how the US Government, via American Courts, had been given a $163 Million judgment against an 'American' Scareware company Innovative Marketing run by American citizens The company sold the scareware under the names WinFixer, WinAntiVirus, and WinAntiVirusPro, among other monikers. Kristy Ross and two of the company's founders - Sam Jain and Daniel Sundin - were determined to be jointly liable for that amount. Ross was not present during the two-day bench trial. You can read the full Ars Technica article at this link
But there is a very strong India link to this record $163 Million fine on the scamsters who sold this scareware. Scareware essentially involves scaring innocent users into thinking their computer is infected with viruses and malware and then selling them software to 'fix' their computers. It is a con in every sense of the word.
While the US Court documents described one of the key men in this crime as Sam Jain, he is actually India born Shaileshhkumar P. Jain who as an 'Internet Entrepreneur' made millions through such scams. According to the FBI's Most Wanted list Jain is fluent in Hindi as well.
And according to the Court documents, Innovative Marketing grew to employ over six hundred (600) employees and had huge offices in India and 3 other countries.
Sam Jain can no longer be found in USA. Could he be holed up in his mother country India? "
Know of any such thing in the IT-BPO sector? Email us! We even pay out Citizen's Journalists Rs. 1250 for such News Tips!
Techgoss note: Techgirl is a senior Tech journalist who reports on the IT, KPO and KPO Sectors for a leading media house.

WASHINGTON — Recently disclosed National Security Agency surveillance programs have helped disrupt more than 50 "potential terrorist events" around the world over the last 12 years, according to U.S. intelligence officials who described the spying operations as tightly regulated and extremely useful.
The officials, testifying Tuesday before the House Intelligence Committee, identified two new cases — an alleged plot to blow up the New York Stock Exchange, and a U.S. resident who helped finance a terrorist group in Somalia — that they said proved the value of collecting domestic telephone calling records and monitoring foreign Internet traffic.
Most of the plots were foiled by surveillance of foreigners overseas, the kind of spying the NSA has done since it was created in 1952 to monitor communications and other intelligence.
The surveillance programs "are critical to … our nation and our allies' security," said Gen. Keith Alexander, who heads the NSA and the Pentagon's U.S. Cyber Command. "They assist the intelligence community efforts to connect the dots."
He said 10 of the 50 cases had the potential to involve domestic telephone records, but he could not say how many actually did. Civil liberties activists and some members of Congress have called the collection of telephone metadata the most worrisome part of the NSA operation, and questioned whether it violates Americans' privacy.
Details of NSA data collection programs were leaked to news organizations this month by Edward Snowden, a former computer systems administrator at an NSA facility outside Honolulu.
Separately, Google asked the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to lift a long-standing gag order that prevents companies from disclosing information about the requests the government makes for information in national security cases. The company argued that the ban violates its First Amendment rights.
The company has said that Snowden's leaks to news organizations greatly overstated the amount of information on its users that the government has access to. The company wants to be able to release information to "respond to false or misleading statements about the scope of its compelled disclosure under national security authorities," its petition says.
Alexander said Snowden worked at the NSA for a total of 15 months as an outside contractor. Snowden was an employee of Booz Allen Hamilton, a consulting firm, for three months early this year, the company said. Snowden worked in 2012 for Dell, according to a government form he signed last year.
Snowden apparently used his access at the NSA to download top secret documents onto a portable data storage device and spirit them out of the facility. Alexander said the NSA was considering creating a "two-person control" system to prevent anyone from downloading sensitive data without a partner approving it.
Alexander said he will give the House and Senate Intelligence committees a classified list of the plots thwarted by the NSA telephone and Internet programs that Snowden disclosed.
The officials said the NSA archive of domestic telephone calling records is used only for terrorism investigations and espionage cases. Only 22 analysts in the agency's vast workforce are authorized to access the database, and they conducted about 300 queries last year.
Sean Joyce, deputy FBI director, described two terrorism cases that he said the NSA surveillance efforts had helped disrupt.
NSA monitoring of an extremist in Yemen led to his communications with Khalid Ouazzani of Kansas City, Mo., and an alleged plot to bomb the New York Stock Exchange, Joyce said. Ouazzani pleaded guilty in 2010 to providing money to al-Qaida and to related charges of money laundering and bank fraud.
In another case, Joyce said, the NSA "provided us a telephone number only in San Diego that had indirect contact with an extremist outside the United States." Further investigation led the FBI to uncover a terrorist financing plot in Somalia.
Basaaly Saeed Moalin, a cabdriver in San Diego, and three others were convicted this year of conspiracy to provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization and launder money.
Previously, officials had said the NSA surveillance had played a role in the 2009 arrests of Najibullah Zazi, an Afghan in Denver who later pleaded guilty to planning suicide bombings in the New York subway system, and David Coleman Headley, a Pakistani-American from Chicago who was sentenced this year for his role in the 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India, that killed 166 people.
After the hearing, Alexander said that Snowden, during his NSA orientation, had gained access to the most sensitive document he leaked: an order marked "Top Secret" from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.
The warrant "was on a Web server that he as an analyst (had access to) coming into the Threat Operations Center," Alexander said. "It was in a special classified section that, as he was getting his training, he went to."
It wasn't immediately clear whether Snowden copied the document during his training or later.

With a felony case hanging over his head in New York, rapper Flavor Flav pleaded guilty Monday to reduced charges in Las Vegas in a domestic violence case involving his girlfriend's teenage son, the Associated Press reported Monday.
The 55-year-old, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton, Jr., told a judge Monday that he was wielding a kitchen knife during an argument with the teen in October 2012 at their home in Las Vegas, before pleading guilty to reduced misdemeanor charges of attempted battery that could have caused substantial injury and battery constituting domestic violence. Drayton was sentenced Monday to probation and ordered to undergo four months of domestic violence counseling. He will be back in court in August for a follow-up appearance.
Outside the courtroom, Drayton told reporters he didn't expect the new conviction to affect his pending felony case in New York. He currently faces unlicensed driving and marijuana possession charges in Nassau County after being stopped in January along the Southern State Parkway in Uniondale while allegedly speeding on the way to his mother's funeral. When he was pulled over, cops said he was traveling more than 20 mph over the limit and a trooper found his license had been revoked. They also said he was in possession of three grams of marijuana, according to court documents.
Drayton had been issued a desk appearance ticket and released from a police station. He was later released without bail and has since appeared in court a few times for the case. During a court appearance last month, his lawyer, Indji Bessim, said she was "still conferencing the matter" with prosecutors, but declined to comment further. Drayton said he was confident the criminal charges will be resolved, referring to the case as "Operation No Choice." A spokesman for the Nassau County district attorney's office had no comment Monday when asked if the Las Vegas conviction would affect the New York case.
Drayton will be back in a Long Island court on May 16.

Heart Care
Take a moment to share your story of healing at Banner Health with others. It's a way to inspire others and thank those medical professionals who cared for you during your visit.
Susan's Story
My husband was taking a stress test on the treadmill at the Cardiovascular Care Unit, when he began experiencing heart attack symptoms.
The team of three went into quick action to bring the event under control. They called the EMTs, who quickly got us to the North Colorado Medical Center's Cardiovascular Care department.
I want to acknowledge the actions of the teams as a whole, as I have never experienced so capable, caring, knowledgeable and exceptional members of the health community.
First, I would like to say that Dr. Rath and his team, when faced with our challenge went far above expectations to diagnose and treat my husband's coronary artery disease in a timely matter.
Molly Wright, RN was our nurse liaison, and kept me informed during the procedure. Spencer, our room RN, was diligent in every way to prepare my husband for this procedure. Bobbie RN was available to answer questions and did a follow-up call the first day at home. Michaela, our CNA, was ever present with reassuring smiles. Diane, our nutritionist, was helpful in mapping our new way of eating.
There are many others that were involved and they all were humble, informative and pleasant people who made my husband's stay exceptionally comfortable. This hospital is the best. Thank you all.

A 158-page and 220-image photographic essay by photographer Christopher Seufert. The former Chatham Radio/ WCC campus on Ryder's Cove in Chatham, Massachusetts was built by architect James Gilbert White for Guglielmo Marconi in 1914. The site became the busiest ship to shore station in the Northern Hemisphere was responsible for communications with Admiral Byrd's South Pole expedition, Charles Lindbergh's trans-Atlantic flight, the Hindenburg's disastrous last voyage, and Amelia Earhart's final flight, to name a few. After many decades of distinguished service in maritime communications the station was automated in 1993, having been manned at its peak in World War II by a staff of two hundred. The six residential bungalows, power house, garage, hotel, and operations building then entered an alarming fifteen-year period of neglect. The buildings were subject to vandalism, as were their contents, a time capsule in the form of 1930's messages, morse code tapes, cash receipts, gum wrappers, whiskey labels, etc.
Christopher Seufert specializes in architectural, portrait, aerial, lifestyle/fashion, and landscape photography. He has a background in journalism, film, and both traditional and digital photography. He is the author of six hard cover photography books including Cape Cod & Islands Reflections (Schiffer, 2010) and The Cape Cod National Seashore: A Photographic Adventure & Guide (Schiffer, 2012).

Ford Motor Company announced today that native Australian and design director for Cadillac exteriors since 2007, Max Wolff, has been tapped to become Lincoln's design director.
There is little argument amongst most industry watchers that in the war between Cadillac and Lincoln, General Motor's division has been winning the exterior styling wars with its bold "Art and Science" theme. In the meantime, Lincoln has bumped from one design philosophy to another, often resembling the characteristics of a rudderless ship. One colleague described a recent Lincoln effort as making him "sad for cars."
With the disposal its Mercury division, Ford has strengthened its commitment to its remaining luxury brand. There is a new marking effort under way and now it has captured Cadillac's exterior design director.
As with any change in styling direction, we will have to wait a bit to see any fruits appear in concept or production form. On a positive note, Lincoln's latest efforts such as the restyled MKX crossover have shown promise and the brand is finally getting a consistent grille placed on most of its models.
Be sure to check out the 2011 Lincoln MKX video and Lincoln, Cadillac slideshow located to the left of this report.

The Fashion Law Project at Loyola Law School, Los Angeles will conduct its inaugural Fashion Law Summer Intensive from July 24-August 1, 2014 on the Law School's downtown LA campus. The weeklong program -- geared toward lawyers, designers, design students, fashion entrepreneurs and executives -- will focus on the fundamentals of fashion law, as well as the legal and business components of brand building.
"For most fashion businesses – from the upstart to the established label – branding is the single most important factor of success. Loyola's Summer Intensive will provide participants the tools and know-how needed to successfully develop, launch and grow a brand,"
said alumna Staci Jennifer Riordan, executive director of The Fashion Law Project and partner and chair of the Fashion Law Practice Group at Fox Rothschild LLP.
Faculty will include Riordan; Adjunct Professor Deborah Greaves, former general counsel of True Religion Brand; other top practitioners; fashion industry professionals; and branding experts. The course is structured into two parts: It will begin with an overview of fashion law so participants share a common knowledge and will then immerse students into the nuts and bolts of brand building. Notably, the program will include a clinical component where students work through a hypothetical branding case study. To accommodate working professionals, weekday classes will be held in the evening. Participants will be awarded a certificate of completion at a graduation ceremony at the conclusion of the program on Saturday, August 1. MCLE credit will be available.
Program activities will include field trips to LA fashion landmarks. Participants will have ample opportunity to explore LA on their own. Learn more about the program and register at http://lls.edu/resources/events/listofevents/eventtitle,84049,en.html.

We were honored to get an interview with "Chibi Loki" also know as Janna Berard. She is a exceptional, cosplayer, musician, seamstress and craftswoman. She is a New York native and New Yorkers are enriched and spellbound by her many talents. If you have been anywhere from, Comic-con, to Time Square; she has done it all. When not planning her next cosplay outfit, doing work with animals, or just being a beautifully positive person, Janna also just walks around the city in full cosplay. The type of talented person adding to the joy of adult and kids in our fair city. She took the time out of her search for that next big thing in her life, to share what she is all about.
Thank you Janna, it is an honor to interview you for examiner.
"Thanks for having me."
First off what gave you your start in cosplay?
"Well it was seeing my neighbors cosplay for the first time and it intrigued me. I was in 4-H during that time and one of my main focuses was sewing. I figured I could use it as a way to express my love for costumes."
Tell us about your Etsy store and your craft works?
"My Etsy store has some jewelry that is all real, sterling silver, beads and all. On the other hand, I have a love of "Magic Cards" and have too many. I make ball ornaments complete with beads, string or wire and feathers."
We hear you are not only a cosplay goddess, but in your Midgard persona you fancy yourself a bard and musician?
"Haha, that's cute. When I was in highschool I played the piccolo and flute. It was fun, and I can't wait to pick it up again. I do sing however, it's one of my favorite hobbies!"
Are you going into acting or some other form of the arts?
"I'm looking into some acting positions, usually just small gigs. I like acting, especially when I get the sadistic characters, especially the villains."
Who have been your biggest supporters thus far?
My fans are my biggest supporters since you guys are the ones that keep me going! Your comments always give me smiles on my face! Thank you all for giving me such support!! Love you all!"
What can we hope to see from you in future?
"A lot of costumes, particularly from several video games and movies. Maybe even some jewelry and definitely more of the Magic the Gathering balls!"
What events coming up have caught your eye?
"New York Comic Con have always caught my eye and "Springfest" in Brooklyn. Other than that, the monthly events where fans and friends can group together and have some fun are really my favorite times."
Can you tell us your top five cosplays so far, and maybe a hint at what's you may have in store for the rest of the year?
"My top cosplay is "Loki Laufeyson" from Avengers, then "Psylocke" from DC comics. After that, it's the "Tenth Doctor" from "Doctor Who" and "Pepper Potts" from "Iron Man"
.Oh you want a little hint? "Wreck-It Ralph" and "The Hobbit Desolation of Smaug's" favorite blonde Elf."
A lot of cosplayers and crew work the "N.Y." event scene, even in the snow. "Loki," or "The bard" as I call her are evolving, we can expect to a lot of new fashions as cosplayers go to that next level.

In hopes of preparing me for potential disappointment, my Mom would always remind me "Lee, you know, it might not snow." We still joke about this cruel tactic. Fast-forward 25 years and I'm still looking forward to snow. Last night, just as I posted the RSS in Plain English video , I turned to Sachi and said "I think there is a chance that this video could...

A powerful new alopecia pill, called Ruxolitinib, is good news for individuals who suffer from baldness because the so-called wonder pill fully restored the hair of three patients within just a few months of being put on the drug. But as explained in an Aug. 17 Live Science report, the bad news is that appears to be effective only for treating alopecia areata and - at least for the moment - not androgenetic alopecia.
Regarding the alopecial pill breakthrough, lead researcher Dr Raphael Clynes said..."We've only begun testing the drug in patients, but if the drug continues to be successful and safe, it will have a dramatic positive impact on the lives of people with this disease."
This promising pill that can cure baldness was initially tested in laboratory animals, with surprising results. And now, human experimentation has been a success. The patients in the test phase, three men who were completely bald, took two pills a day for five months. At the end of the treatment all men experienced total hair regrowth.
Scientists were able to identify the immune cells responsible for the atrophy of the hair follicle in alopecia areata, and Ruxolitinib is able to stop the action of these cells. Doctors conducted the pilot trial after this find.
"Additional clinical trials are needed to test the effectiveness of this drug in more patients in larger studies," said study author Angela M. Christiano, a professor of dermatology and genetics at Columbia University Medical Center in New York.
As mentioned above, unfortunately Ruxolitinib is not effective for people suffering from androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss in both men and women. In men, this condition is also known as male-pattern baldness.

50+: Live Better, Longer
The Letter (and Spirit) of Drug Import Laws
Let's make this very clear. It's absolutely, unequivocally, without question illegal to reimport into the U.S. prescription drugs that have been exported to other countries, or to bring in substances that are banned under U.S. law, for any reason, except when you've got a prescription and the FDA or customs agents say it's OK, or decide to look the other way.
Get it? Neither do we.
Recommended Related to Healthy Seniors
It may take a little work to figure out what's keeping your loved one from eating, but once you do, you can help. Two experts -- Mary Fennell Lyles, MD, and geriatrics dietitian Dixie Yow, RD, offer these tips to make sure your loved one is getting the nutrition they need.
Read the Help a Loved One Eat Right article > >
The old adage that "those who love the law and sausages should never watch either one being made" certainly applies to drug policy. But neither the FDA nor the U.S. Department of Homeland Security are necessarily to blame for the confusion.
Burdened by skyrocketing health care costs, consumers, employers, and insurers are looking for ways to save, and one of the most obvious targets is drug costs. Because Canada and most other industrialized nations impose price restrictions and limit what pharmacies can charge for drugs, the cost of a brand-name medication sold in Toronto can be as much as 55% less than what the identical drug is sold for just across Lake Ontario in Rochester, N.Y.
While the practice of reimporting drugs from Canada, Mexico, or other countries is still technically illegal (with the possible exceptions noted below), it is increasingly becoming a custom more honored in the breach than in the observance. The U.S. House of Representatives has passed three versions of bills that would allow consumers to import legal drugs for personal use. A similar measure, known as the Dorgan-Snowe Drug Importation bill, is currently before the Senate.
In the meantime, the mission of the FDA, as always, is to promote and protect the health of Americans. The mission of the U.S. Customs service is to enforce Federal laws and regulations as they pertain to imported substances such as drugs. And here's where the law gets kind of squishy.
Current law says that if Granny decides she can get her heart medications more cheaply in Alberta than in Alabama, she could be busted for either bringing it over the border or having it delivered to her. Does that mean that dear Granny is likely to do a stretch in solitary? Hardly, experts say, because nobody wants to be seen putting the cuffs on elderly pensioners. Also, they'd have to arrest the governments of the states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Vermont, as well as many city governments and private employers who have turned north for lower-cost prescription drugs.

Man accused in National City shooting pleads not guilty
Daniel Gonzalez suspected in Josue Crook's death
CHULA VISTA - A 35-year-old man accused of fatally shooting a nursing assistant outside a South Bay restaurant after a fight at a World Cup viewing party pleaded not guilty Thursday to murder and assault charges.
Daniel Arce Gonzalez was ordered held on $2 million bail in connection with the June 17 death of 36-year-old Josue Crook.
Gonzalez was arrested Monday in Tijuana and turned over to National City police officials. He faces 50 years to life in prison if convicted, said Deputy District Attorney David Grapilon.
Patrol officers responding to reports of gunfire in the 300 block of Highland Avenue found Crook on a sidewalk in front of Rincon Del Mar restaurant. Crook died at a hospital.
A second defendant, 37-year-old Salvador Chavez, is charged with Crook's murder under an aiding and abetting theory, Grapilon said. The prosecutor said Chavez also faces an assault with a deadly weapon charge for allegedly stabbing a second victim.
Judge Patricia Garcia also ordered Chavez held on $2 million bail.
A status conference was scheduled Aug. 5 at the South Bay Courthouse.

Some fundamental typological peculiarities of Guarani, namely the inclusive-exclusive distinction, transnumerality, the nominal tense, the (non)-distinction of subjects and objects, and duality (active-stative alignment) are presented and analyzed from both a modern and a historical perspective: first, to better understand the features of Guarani; second, to illuminate the difficulties missionaries faced when trying to cope with language structures that drastically differed from their training in Latin grammar. Using the missionaries' grammars as first-hand testimony, the conclusion is reached that we have not significantly advanced beyond these works from the 17th and 18th centuries. Although none of the Jesuit padres arrived at a clear understanding of all the peculiarities of Tupi-Guarani that are dealt with in this paper, they made substantial contributions to describing the unusual features of this language family adequately, and thus went deliberately beyond the framework of Latin school grammar

Whilst all the focus has been on Damian McBride and in Wales, Aneurin Glyndwr, there has been another smear campaign going on for some time which so far has slipped below the political radar.
The existence of unofficial Plaid Cymru blogs, Welsh Ramblings and Guerrilla Welsh Fare has been evident for some time. These sites are highly partisan, personal, and partial in the way that they interpret news, take statements and facts out-of-context and in the selection of the issues they wish to blog about. You will not read anything on these sites for example about Plaid Cymru's u-turn on top-up fees but that is fair enough. They exist to sell the nationalist cause not to undermine it.
What is regrettable is the way that they reduce politics to the intensely personal, choosing to denigrate an individual's character rather than deal with the issues. That does not mean that all their posts fall into this category. Some are fair comment and make useful political points but the overriding theme is one of smearing their opponents through misrepresentation, straightforward lies and offensive and often sexist comment.
This tone is carried on elsewhere in the blogosphere through anonymous comments on other people's blogs that have clearly come from the Plaid Cymru camp. Often these comments reflect the posts on the Plaid Cymru attack blogs. This is all very well and good. If Plaid want to take politics into the gutter that is a matter for them.
There is of course a place for criticism and even antagonistic comment in politics but it should concentrate on issues not personalities, the political actions of individuals not their character. Smeargate surely signals the end of anonymous attack blogs and internet trolls, at least in mainstream politics, so why do Plaid continue to allow their members to use these two sites to promote this stream of invective?
The party may argue that they have no control over the actions of individual members and that maybe the case. It has not stopped them expelling members who disagree with the leadership of course but that is a matter for them too. Indeed if these were just individual members having their say then I would accept that Ieuan Wyn Jones might be powerless to do anything about it. It would still reflect badly on his party but that is his problem.
However, it is now becoming apparent that these two blogs are not being run by ordinary party members at all. In fact, I am told that they are being run by Plaid Cymru 'staffers' and by at least one Assembly Member Support Staff. If that is the case then the Party can do something about the content of these blogs.
Do not get me wrong, I have no problem with staff members blogging in work time. That is a matter between them and their employer. They are after all employed to support their bosses within a political environment and it would be pretty dumb to argue that they cannot be political or make public comment on politics. What I do object to is the way that they are bringing politics into disrepute. Do their employers support and condone that?
Perhaps we should ask them? Maybe the Chief Executive of Plaid Cymru and the various Assembly Members and MPs for that party can confirm whether or not any of their staff blog and if so whether they do so anonymously, under a pseudonym or in their own name. I am not interested in the past just the present simply because we have now entered a new era and it is time to move forward in the way we intend to go on.
I will start the ball rolling by saying that to the best of my knowledge only two members of my staff blog. One of them does so on this site in his own name, the other contributes occasionally to the Morriston Liberal Democrat blog under the pseudonym, Morriston Focus, but as she is a prominent member of the Morriston Focus Team, her address is on the site and she confines herself to dealing with local issues I do not think that is a problem.
I will also acknowledge that I am one of the people who contributes to this site as admin, which I do for administrative reasons. In particular I will use this pseudonym to post contributions by other politicians so as not to confuse the authorship of the piece.
It is now over to Plaid Cymru politicians to make their own declarations.

PM Netanyahu
: "Iran is behind these attacks; it is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world."
dent Peres
: "The government of Iran today is the headquarters of terrorism, of hatred and of war, and will not spare any effort to attempt to kill and to destroy."
Iran is behind these attacks; it is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world.
esident Shimon
today (Monday), 13 February 2012, strongly condemned the acts of terrorism against Israeli embassy personnel India and Georgia. He said, "We will continue to defend and protect our citizens anywhere in the world. These acts of terrorism will not deter us."
President Peres spoke earlier today with Israeli Ambassador to India Alon Ushpiz and Israeli Ambassador to Georgia Itzhak Gerberg and told them: "I want to encourage the embassies' staffs in both countries and thank the governments and security forces in India and Georgia for their help and cooperation in this matter."
Regarding Iran, the President said, "Iran is not only building a bomb and threatening to destroy our people, the government of Iran today is the headquarters of terrorism, of hatred and of war, and will not spare any effort to attempt to kill and to destroy. The Iranian government does not have a future because it does not promise a future. We shall meet the Iranian dangers as it should be done - with the maximum effort to make the region secure and peaceful."
President Peres was updated on the situation of the Israeli citizen, Tal Yehoshua Koren, who is in hospital in India, and on the cooperation with the local authorities at the scenes of the attacks. "I want to wish her a speedy recovery and hope she will be well soon," the President added.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
today made the following remarks:
"In recent months we have witnessed several attempts to attack Israeli citizens and Jews in several countries, including Azerbaijan, Thailand and others. In each instance we succeeded in foiling the attacks in cooperation with local authorities. Iran and its proxy Hizbullah were behind all of these attempted attacks.
Today we have witnessed two additional attempted terrorist attacks on innocent civilians, the first against an Israeli woman who was wounded in New Delhi and the second against a local employee of the Israeli Embassy in Georgia. Iran is behind these attacks; it is the largest exporter of terrorism in the world. The Government of Israel and the security services will continue to act together with local security forces against such acts of terrorism. We will continue to take strong and systematic, yet patient, action against the international terrorism that originates in Iran."
* * *
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman
: "It just shows that Israel and its citizens face terror inside and outside of Israel. We deal with it every day. We know how to identify exactly who is responsible for the attack and who carried it out. We will not allow this to affect our agenda."

In the debut of the 19th season of the world's most popular car show, Clarkson unveiled what he's called the P45, a nod to the actual smallest car in the world, the Peel P50. The P45 looks like a gas-powered Hoveround topped by lights, mirrors and a modern version of the armor worn by the Knights Who Say Ni. It's a hybrid, inasmuch as its gas engine can be swapped for batteries and an electric motor, and in the episode Clarkson demonstrates the P45's ability on highways, city centers, and even in shopping malls and libraries, to generate more embarrassment than momentum.
What Clarkson doesn't acknowledge is the debt the P45 owes to its spiritual forbearer, the Kenguru EV — less an electric car than a set of four wheels, windshield and safety gear that surrounds drivers in wheelchairs who want to travel short distances on public streets at speeds of less than 28 mph. At $25,000 when available, the Kenguru hasn't caught on despite being sold in several countries around the globe. For the future of driving, tiny spaces remain the final frontier.

Thursday brought an announcement from Xapo CEO Wences Casares that a black bitcoin debit card for payment online or offline is seeking a bank partnership, according to Coin Desk late Thursday. The little black card will answer the question as to how to get bitcoin out of cold storage and into a consumer's hot wallet for spending.
An issue the Bitcoin community of venture capitalists and miners has faced is how to stabilize the price for spending. The reply has been to develop a payment method to allow bitcoin as a payment method to become a normal activity.
Xapo is a venture capital firm from Palo Alto, California was founded by Wences Casares, a start-up entrepreneur. His last venture was Lemon, a digital wallet, which he sold for $43 million to Lifelock. He is making a difference in the process for converting Bitcoin into a payment system. Xapo verifies the bitcoin funds when a purchase is transacted with a swipe or entry of the card number and the bitcoin payment (BTC) amount is redeemed and converted from Bitstamp bitcoin exchange to pay the merchant in local currency.
Coincard and Cryptex use prepaid bitcoin cards for payment. This international debit card, however, will convert the BTC immediately through the Bitstamp exchange and the merchant receives payment in their business bank account in the local currency.
Casares told CoinDesk that his company's mission is to be the viable, consumer-focused bitcoin bank. Xapo black card holders only need to transfer bitcoin for payment from their cold storage to their hot wallet for payment transaction.
Casares in a statement today explained Xapo and the process: "We're not a wallet company or a payment company. We are a bitcoin wallet, we are a bitcoin bank. Consumers need convenience and that's why we provide our MasterCard debit card and why we will keep adding products based on our customers want."
The use of bitcoin in a payment system will bring it mainstream. The volatility of price will be less in its swings once the consumer lets the bitcoin out of their storage and into their wallet for spending. Casares' goal is to make use of bitcoin for payment a seamless and user friendly process for the merchant and the consumer which will advance the placement of bitcoin payments in mainstream transactions.
A late update at 2:30 GMT today by CoinDesk posted the following: "Xapo CEO Wences Casares spoke to CoinDesk to clarify the situation, stating that the company is currently working with an undisclosed bank to launch the open-loop debit card product, but it has yet to select a credit card network with which to power the offering. However, it was originally planning to use the 'MasterCard network'."

In testing done by Anandtech, the Surface Pro 2 ran over 8 hours while browsing the web over Wi-Fi. That's a jump up from 6.6 hours before the latest software update was released. The improvement also means you can play video over Wi-Fi 16% longer to 7.75 hours from 6.65 pre-update.
But the Surface Pro 2 still trails the competition by a bit, scoring 8.330 versus 9.480 for the iPad Air and 12.230 for the latest Google Nexus model.

I find that to be something of a let down in character development, especially since this person had been a Jedi Knight until fairly recently.
In most fairytales or adventure stories we never really get to dive deep into the main villain characters. They mostly serve only as an obstacle for the hero. Just like we dont really get to know much about Sidious in the Original Trilogy. Sure i agree they should have extrapolated more on Malaks character. But i like Malak. He has been a Jedi all his life, he knows stuff! A superficial fool could NEVER be a Sith Lord.
IMO Malak showed some character! We even get to see a shred of his human side just before he died.
But remember that Malak was still pretty young, and with all the power he had, you have to expect some boasting and some talk of crushing enemies.
If we are all clones, why am I the only one with a sense of humor?

Date: December 23 2012
ENGLAND: Sir Alex Ferguson says Ryan Giggs could play for another two years at Manchester United, taking him beyond his 41st birthday. Both Giggs and teammate Paul Scholes find themselves in a permanent state of ''retirement watch'', particularly as the latter has already reversed a decision to end his career. Ferguson does not believe the duo have decided what to do at the end of the season and, in the case of Giggs, he is predicting he will be around for a while longer. ''It's the kind of speculation you expect because we only put older players on one-year contracts,'' Ferguson said. ''I think that Ryan Giggs will play for another year, or even maybe two years.'' One player certain to be at Old Trafford for the foreseeable future is Jonny Evans, who has extended his deal at United until 2016.
DUBAI-based investment company GFH Capital has completed its protracted takeover of Leeds United for a reported £52 million ($A81.26 million). Company directors David Haigh and Salem Patel were presented to the media and said their No. 1 aim was to see the club promoted from the second-tier Championship to the Premier League. Leeds last played in the top flight in the 2003-04 campaign and fell as low as the third-tier League One before bouncing back to its current status as Championship promotion hopeful.
AUSTRALIA: Adelaide United coach John Kosmina had a blunt message for his charges after they leaked six goals on Friday night against Western Sydney: success doesn't come so easy. Kosmina can deliver a spray with the best of them and the veteran coach had every reason to be livid, but he felt it was the wrong time for vitriol. ''Nothing needs to be said at the moment because they'll be smarting. This is when it's time for a bit of introspection,'' Kosmina said. ''It will wake a few people up. Make them realise that success doesn't come so easy. Not without a little bit of rolling up your sleeves and getting your hands dirty.'' Defender Nigel Boogaard apologised to fans after the match.
SWITZERLAND: UEFA has banned Champions League contender Malaga from European club competitions for one upcoming season for failing to pay players' wages and tax bills on time. UEFA said the Qatari-owned Spanish club could be banned for a second season within the next four years if it misses a March 31 deadline to pay its debts. UEFA announced the sanctions on Friday, one day after Malaga was drawn to play FC Porto in the Champions League last-16 round. It will be banned from the next European tournament it qualifies for. UEFA also fined Malaga €300,000 ($A382,000).
ITALY: Juventus needed two goals in stoppage time to seal a come-from-behind 3-1 win at Cagliari on Friday and move 10 points clear at the top of Serie A. Cagliari, just a point above the relegation zone, went ahead after 16 minutes through a Mauricio Pinilla penalty awarded after Arturo Vidal had chopped down Marco Sau in the box. In a contentious game, Cagliari played the last 30 minutes a man short after the sending off of Davide Astori, who had already been booked, for a foul on Sebastian Giovinco. Alessandro Matri, playing against his old club, levelled for Juventus 10 minutes later and added another in the second minute of injury time. Mirko Vucinic put away the third in the fifth minute of time added on.

Gardening Articles: Landscaping :: Yard & Garden Planning
Wild New Citrus
by Lance Walheim
The convergence of culinary and garden enthusiasms has paid many dividends this past decade. Not long ago, if you wanted arugula in your salad, you had to grow it yourself. Now most markets offer it, and some even offer a prepackaged mesclun mix. It's a similar story with citrus. Once it was just grapefruits, lemons, limes, Mandarins and oranges. There is so much more to choose from now.
These days, adventurous gardeners can find an amazing array of unusual citrus: tangelos (Mandarin-pummelo or Mandarin-grapefruit hybrids), tangors (Mandarin-orange hybrids), limequats (lime-kumquat hybrids), red-fleshed sweet oranges ("blood" oranges) and even the bizarre-looking but ultra-aromatic Kieffir lime.
But for me, the best citrus are the ones that taste best. The following 10 are my favorites. Most are available to markets: Ask your local produce manager about ordering them. Home gardeners who live in citrus-growing regions can plant trees in their own gardens. If you don't live where citrus grows outdoors, you can raise plants in containers in greenhouses or solariums.
When I was a kid, oranges were either navels for fresh eating or Valencias for juice. While this is still mostly true, now there's a variety choice. Among oranges, variety has mostly to do with color: Oranges aren't only orange these days. All sweet oranges are hardy to about 27? F.
'Cara Cara' pink navel. 'Cara Cara' is a natural variant ("limb sport") of a Washington navel that appeared in Venezuela. It made its way to Florida by 1977 (where it's marketed as 'Red Navel') and to California 10 years later. I've tasted the fruits and I rate the flavor "excellent." But most exciting is the color. The interior flesh is pink, similar to a 'Star Ruby' grapefruit. Because of the type of mutation it is, some variation in fruits and tree growth is expected. It will be a couple years at least until fruits or trees are widely available.
Fruits are medium-size, deep orange on the outside with a small navel on the blossom end. Flesh is reddish pink and seedless. Fruits ripen November to March in inland California and November to February in Florida.

Things can go wrong during a flight, but you would never expect to find yourself in a flood at 36,000 feet over the ocean. This is what the passengers on a Qantas flight experienced at 36,000 feet over the Pacific Ocean. Passengers said this was frightening as the aisles filled up with water from a stream of water gushing from the passenger cabin walls.
USA Today reports on July 3 that suddenly people started jumping up out of their seats yelling because the water was rushing into the middle of the aircraft. Water dripped down the aircraft's steps and got the folks on the lower level wet. This happened about an hour into the flight.
One Flight 94 passenger told the media that it was the scariest thing she'd ever seen. The passenger said her immediate thoughts were that there "shouldn't be water in an electrical thing in the air." She's right, there shouldn't have been water, but when a pipe burst, the water has to go somewhere, suggests AOL Travel.
The pipe that burst carried clean drinking water, so at least the passengers weren't dealing with unsanitary conditions on top of a flood. The plane's aisle looked like a river as the water rippled like a tide coming in and gleamed under the cabin lighting.
The pilot turned the plane around and headed back to LAX. The plane left LAX at 12:15 a.m. and landed safely back at the airport with a water saturated cabin and relieved passengers to get back on the ground. Qantas said that the passengers were never in any danger.
While there were no concerns for the flight's safety, the pilot opted to turn back "in the interest of passenger comfort."
One passenger said that the pilot's decision to turn the plane around made sense because they still had 15 hours to go in this flight and the water played havoc with some of the amenities usually expected on the flight. They couldn't put the movie on and they couldn't feed the passengers because of the water gushing.
The airline attendants were great, passengers said. They moved people around the best that they could to keep them for having to put their feet in the water. They provided spare blankets for the passenger to keep dry. Actress Nicole Brown was on the flight and she tweeted:
"Pipe burst on my #Qantas flight over the Pacific. We were diverted back to LA. River running thru the aisles #ScaryTimes #WillKeepYouPosted"
Other passengers posted their account of the flood this flight on Twitter accounts. You have to admit this is an event not ordinarily seen. The last thing you would expect at 36,000 feet in the air is a flood.
Passengers didn't need to worry about all the water in the passenger cabin causing the plane to carry extra weight because the water was on board to begin with. Probably the biggest concern would be the electrical in the plane, as one passenger stated when talking to the media. Worries that the water would short something out seemed feasible. One passenger put on their Twitter page that it was "raining in the plane."
Once back at LAX, Qantas put the passengers up in a hotel until another flight was made available to them. They also apologized for the very wet inconvenience.

Wedding season is upon us and every bride has planned her special day according to her tastes, style, and dreams. Everything from the flowers to the cake is a reflection of who she is, but nothing is more telling of her personality than the bling on her finger. Diamond shapes and if you've financially capable – the SIZE, are all a pretty good indication of what kind of bride she is and what her personality is about.
Online jeweler extraordinaire Brilliance.com, the destination for all things diamond, and their resident diamond expert, Jonathon Ohayon, have created a guide that breaks down diamond shapes and what they say about the women who wear them.
Are you a classic and timeless beauty that craves tradition or a glamorous stunner that commands the room? Whatever your personality is and whatever your tastes are, there is a diamond shape that suits you. Round or Pear? Marquise or Radiant? The diamond you choose for a lifetime is a good indicator of your personality and what kind of bride you will be. A simple reception with tasteful flowers? You've probably chosen the perfect symmetry of an oval cut! Read on to discover what your diamond engagement ring shape says about you.
Here are the most popular shapes the diamond industry has to offer and each one tells a story about the unique woman who wears it. The story above is a partial reprint from Brilliance.com.
Emerald Diamond
Emerald ~ Created in the Art Deco Period, this glamorous cut exhibits long lines that leaves no room for imperfections. Think old Hollywood starlets and drama for days! Elizabeth Taylor and Grace Kelly had the emerald cut and now beauties Beyoncé and Angelina Jolie do too.
Heart Diamond
Heart ~ Similar to the Cushion cut bride, the lady who wears this ring wants the ultimate fairy tale. Think over-the-top sentimentality and a wedding fit for a Disney princess!
Marquise Diamond
Marquise ~ The bride who wears the Marquise loves to be the center of attention. Think a lavish ceremony with an over-the-top reception and you'll understand who this dramatic cut was designed for. This cut appears larger than it really is, as the shape maximizes carat weight.
Oval Diamond
Oval ~ This perfectly symmetrical cut has classic, almost reserved lines, much like the understated bride who wears it. A reception at the country club suits the tasteful aesthetic of the couple that choose this cut.
Pear Diamond
Pear ~ Resembling a drop of rain, this diamond says that you are loyal and adaptable, but you play by your own set of rules. This bride is emotional and tends to wear her heart on her sleeve.
Radiant Diamond
Radiant ~ Trend setting and chic, the Radiant cut is designed to have the best qualities of both the Round & the Princess. This bride may be indecisive, but she knows what she wants when she sees it.
Round Diamond
Round ~ The most classic shape of them all. This bride is timeless, understated and trustworthy. This industry standard boosts 58 facets for stunning sparkle, but don't let that fool you; the woman who wears it is anything but flashy.
Princess Diamond
Princess ~ Introduced in the '60's, this cut has the brilliance of a round, with an updated edge. Still popular today with brides who are stylish and have a modern sensibility. She's classic with an edge- four of them to be exact!
Cushion Diamond
Cushion ~ This is a romantic bride who wants the fairytale. A cut that has been around for over a century, the Cushion – also called the "Pillow" - has larger facets for increased brilliance. She is effortless with her style and many of her friends envy the casual way she captivates everyone in her presence.
Asscher Diamond
Asscher ~ This fashion conscious bride loves the vintage feel of the Great Gatsby era, and she's both feminine and meticulous. Remember the gorgeous ring Aidan gave Carrie Bradshaw? It was an Asscher, and you don't get much more fashionable than her!

I want to update by ubuntu 10.10 to 12.04 LTS. Is there any way i can do it without backing up the data that is there in my drive. I have been using 10.10 for a long time. And i like the new 12.04 LTS and have used it for a while on my friends laptop. Thank you.
I have been updating/re-installing Ubuntu without a backup for several releases now.
My method is to use 2 partitions and keep all the personal data on that 2nd disc away from your system. I have
So yes, it can be done but if you did not set this up yet then you probably are best of burning your stuff to a cd, dvd or to store it online. A backup is always adviced
You can upgrade without updating it will not delete your data but maybe some of the your softwares that are not supported by 12.04 will be deleted. But, I advice you to backup and never think to upgrade without backup.

Launching a pop-up restaurant in 36 hours complete with concept, branding, and a business plan may seem overwhelming but the aim of Restaurant Startup, a reality show on CNBC, aims to surround potential restaurateurs with the hectic pace of a make-or-break operation.
Contestants are given $ 7,500 for expenses to compete for the attention of restaurateur and chef Joe Bastianich and restaurant operator Tim Love.
The inherent drama can make for good television but does it reflect reality in starting up a restaurant business?
Pastry chef and entrepreneur Waylynn Lucas is the show's consultant who says the pace of running a restaurant is indeed overwhelming. She would know, having launched a restaurant in Costa Rica before moving to Los Angeles where she worked at the Bazaar and Patina.
Her newest endeavor is Fonuts, where the doughnuts are baked, not fried, and are offered alongside a selection of gluten free and vegan products. Her advice is money is the lifeblood in all business endeavors and restaurants are no exception.
"First and foremost the budget, money, is everything. We give [the contestants] a minimal budget to bring a restaurant to life with all the factors like good food, interior design, and branding campaigns."
She said the amount of money provided is just enough to turn an idea into reality within the show's time frame. Giving $5,000 wouldn't be quite enough and $10,000 would allow for some reckless spending.
The producers and investors on the show, notes Waylynn, want to see more than just another great dining concept and great dish.
"There has to be growth potential for the restaurant. Each contestant has to be smart and cautious [with spending] and know their numbers.
"We throw them into this and make them wear all the hats. It's your business and you're responsible for designing restaurant space and how it's supposed to look. We provide experts like graphic designers and help but they're responsible and they have to be in charge."
The compact time frame is not artificial since the doors have to open as soon as possible to generate cash flow and begin paying back the investment capital.
Running a restaurant has a multitude of separate parts that have to mesh well for success. Waylynn says the food has to bring diners back for multiple visits, service must be flawless and cleanliness is key so the overall experience resonates with the customers.
Being on the show is her chance to give back to others based on what she has learned in her career working as a pastry chef.
A successful restaurant is where the chef has learned to be versatile and a good leader. Restaurat Startup shows that turning a profit is more than just the presentation of food on a plate. It is a swirling atmosphere that serves a strong dose of reality about the culinary industry.
Restaurant Startup airs Tuesday nights 10pm on CNBC.

We know that many of you are going to be lined up bright and early come June 24, with one thing on your mind -- the EVO 3D. Can't say we blame you, it certainly looks to be one of this years best. We also know a lot of you guys will be retiring your EVO 4G to pick this bad boy up, and there will be questions about migrating all your "stuff" from EVO to EVO. That's where we come in.
There's a couple ways to go about transferring most everything over, some built in and some third party. The good news is, all of them are pretty easy. Hit the break and we'll sort them out.


text: The foreign ministers of the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) held an extraordinary meeting in Jeddah today, chaired by Bahraini Foreign Minister Shaikh Muhammad bin Mubarak Al-Khalifa. The statement issued following the meeting expressed deep concern over the serious impact of the destructive attacks on economic and government installations in the United States, condemned these brutal acts, and extended condolences and sympathy to the U.S. government and people. The GCC foreign ministers affirmed full support for all international anti-terrorism efforts, and reiterated their rejection of any attempt to link Islam with these shameful acts of terror. The statement went on to praise U.S. President George W. Bush for calling on his countrymen to avoid any persecution of Muslims and Arabs in the United States and for attesting to the fact that Islam is a religion of peace that condemns violence and the killing of innocent civilians. The statement also urged the various world powers not to let preoccupation with current events cause them to ignore the state terrorism exercised by the Israeli government against the Palestinian people.

LOS ANGELES - Magic Johnson loves what teenagers LeBron James and Carmelo Anthony have accomplished as rookies and is disappointed they weren't picked to play in the NBA All-Star Game.
"LeBron and Carmelo have brought so much interest, they should have made it," Johnson said Friday. "They backed it up with their game. You can't tell me they shouldn't be part of the game. I understand that they've got to earn their stripes, so to speak.
"They're good guys. And they've made the other guys work harder at their game."
James and Anthony, both 19, played in Johnson's charity game last summer.
"Both young men have brought a great freshness, a great smile back to the game," Johnson said. "Nobody wants to smile. We've got to get back to smiling, destroying their man at the same time."
The All-Star game will be played Feb. 15 at Staples Center - its first time in the area since 1983 when the game was played at the Forum in Inglewood.
That was one of 11 All-Star games Johnson played in as a member of the Lakers.
James, averaging nearly 21 points for Cleveland, and Anthony, averaging 19 for Denver, will play with first-year players in the Rookie Challenge on Friday night of All-Star weekend against a team of second-year players.
Johnson left Michigan State after his sophomore season and was 20 when he played his first NBA game in 1979. He was known for his engaging smile throughout a brilliant career that was suddenly halted in November 1991 when he tested positive for the virus that causes AIDS.
He returned to play half a season for the Lakers in 1996 before retiring for good.
Johnson recalled his most memorable All-Star game - the 1992 contest in Orlando when he played despite having retired for the first time. He had 25 points and nine assists in a 153-113 victory by the West and won MVP honors.
"That was the best All-Star game for me," Johnson said, recalling the hugs he received from players on both teams. "So much has changed. You have to remember, that was 12 years ago. A few players were against me at that time (because of the virus). A lot of people thought I wouldn't be here. Here I am."
Of the last 12 years, Johnson said: "It's almost been like a blur."
Now 44, Johnson said he works out five times a week between his business endeavors and public appearances, and feels great.
"I'm happy two times - when I'm working out and when I'm working," he said. "I'm always thinking about my next thing."
A minority owner and vice president with the Lakers, Johnson has been very successful in the business world. He also established the Magic Johnson Foundation, which has worked to raise funds for community-based organizations dealing with HIV/AIDS education and provide programs to meet the educational needs of urban residents.
A bronze statue of Johnson standing nearly 14 feet tall and weighing 2,800 pounds will be unveiled Wednesday outside Staples Center near a statue of hockey great Wayne Gretzky.
Johnson will be honored Thursday night at a charity dinner, with host American Express donating $200,000 to his foundation.
"It's just a wonderful week starting off with the statue on Wednesday," Johnson said. "It's not just about me, it's my family. It's not only what I've done on the court, but off the court.
"I'm happy, man. Next week, I'm just really going to be happy."

Got Skins?
OK, how do you use the skins and new levels in single player mode?
"You gave me an ABNORMAL BRAIN?!"
umm, try changing the 3do file to ky.3d0 (rename it to that) only do that to the one you want to use in single player, oh, and you gotta start a new game if you want to play as that character without the screen looking all weird without any textures.
Do you mean that you get a Wire-Frame if you do that?
I am your father.
[This message has been edited by Pedro The Hutt (edited October 06, 2000).]
The background textures will look messed up if you change your skin and use it in a game that was saved with the normal Kyle Katarn is what he means. Not wireframe, but the colors are all wrong.
that's excactly what i mean. :-) it looks very funny and sortof cool if you load it in, it's like going inside kyle katarn's brain and walking around places he's been (remember the farscape episode where all the newspapers were from what he last read, and when he tried to go in the lady's bathroom it didn't show up, that was my favorite part i was laughing my head off)
i got the huge skin download, how do i modify that?
dkjfal;dj;as mooooooooooo
Use conman (get it from www.code-alliance.com ).
Just take the 3do file you want to use and change it to "ky.3do" and put it in your Resource/3do folder (or else just use the gob that it is in). Good luck!

id_rsa is, normally a default identity. However, I've created a new key and I would like to add that key as a default identify instead.
How can we do that?
Thanks a lot in advance.
In your ~/.ssh/config file (create it if it doesn't already exist), you can specify which key to use with the IdentityFile directive:
You can use this directive inside a "Host" section if you only want to use that key for a particular host. For example:
If you run "ssh -v hostname", the debug information should confirm that it is using the key you specified.
