Some Nokia Lumia 930 and 630 versions don't allow users to set Google as default search engine

It looks like Microsoft is deliberately blocking Google from being set as the default search engine on the Lumia 930 and Lumia 630 (though this happens only in a few regions)...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

No, but my primary reason is cause of bing rewards

What rewards?....?

Well since you think it sucks, it probably won't matter. Its really not that bad. Neither is IE 11, its faster than chrome on my computer, but I miss a lot of the extensions chrome offers.

Wp always having problems
Halfbaked apps
This problems
That problem
This is missing
That's missing
Can't do this
Can't do that
Can't sync deep integration
Email attachment and showing problem on tiles
- Can't change ringtones for 3rd party apps, for example whatsapp sounds the same as my email, don't know which is which, and can't react accordingly. Not to mention Nokia all of a sudden feels like a notification light is worthless in WP.
- No battery percentage on start screen. Smartphones are battery hungry, I want to 'effing know how much I have left! I'm paranoid about that scrap ! Even more beacause the Lumia L1020 has s**tty battery life, no matter how Nokia claimed the updates fixed that.
- Want to watch a video on silent, say when in a train? Yup, turn down your ringer volume from the volume rocker? Very convenient, thanks. Oh, yeah, and remember to turn the ringer volume back up after watching the video…
- Why can't you have a quick toggle for vibrate? It shows from the drop down menu, but can't change it from there? Logical.
I love the UI, but at times I feel my Nokia 5800 was way smarter and more powerful compared to this. It was an epic phone for the price. Well, at least I'm more pleased with the Lumia than the iPhone I had before it.

Why don't you go ahead and elaborate and what half baked apps tell us, are every app on Android running the latest update as those on iOS etc, the answer is no. Tell us the problems, tell us what is missing, tell us exactly what it cant do?, you say a lot of things anyone can say but without telling us exactly what you talk about your points are void, you are a simple troll.
Now to the nonsense about WP can't deep sync integration, again explain what you mean in detail cause I can tell you WP moved smartphones from being App centric to integration centric or did you hit your head and forget, it started deep integration how can it not have it. Like Windows 8.1, Windows Phone 8.1 will sync tons of settings through your Microsoft account and those that make sense will sync between Windows and Windows Phone too. quit yapping.
Email attachment and showing information on Tile, I have email attachment, in terms of Tiles WP unlike Android and iOS uses the complete homescreen and they all can be filled with Tiles, you cant get such a balance of beauty and productivity on any other homescreen. The other could only wish they had Live Tiles.
The ringtones+sounds module in the settings app you can set a custom sound for new text or IM messages, new voicemails, new emails, and reminders. If you are to lazy to turn up a volume button it must be because you spend your energy trolling.
No OS is perfect, Android and iOS has more than their fair share of problems, some of them obvious especially with Android.
WP plays on minimalism something others are imitating, you can have a live Tile battery app or just estimate from the default battery app but showing the battery percentage is as easy as swiping down on action center, I don't need my smartphone experience cluttered. WP are known for great battery Life as opposed to others.
At the end of the day I rather use a WP over any other platform cause for me when compared to the others it works best. That is called choice. Suck it up, live with it.

You get rewarded for searching with Bing. It is like an airline frequent flyer program or a credit card membership rewards program, you earn rewards by using the service. The more you search the more credits you earn which can then be redeemed for many different things for eg. Amazon.com gift card (475 points).
You should not diss something if you really don't now about it. Be opened minded.
34. RaKithAPeiRiZ (Posts: 1488; Member since: 29 Dec 2011)
I think Microsoft should reward people for using their devices in the first place
37. Liveitup (Posts: 1798; Member since: 07 Jan 2014)
Well everyone is basing their UI approach based on Windows UI influence so you know they are good.

Thanks Bing!
15. sgodsell (Posts: 3635; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
I think Microsoft needs more search data to help with its projects Cortana and Adam.
So what better way to get the data. Since WP is locked down and restricted. Microsoft forces its users to help them with the data Microsoft needs. Kind of like when Windows 8 was first introduced, forcing its users with Windows 8 metro UI.

55. joey_sfb (Posts: 5741; Member since: 29 Mar 2012)
The IE on my VMware run bing default because I am too lazy to switch to Google.
70% of the time bing is OK. The other 30% I will just search with Google.com to get the right result.
Sometime the bing search is so off that is humorous!
56. Muzhhur (Posts: 260; Member since: 14 Sep 2012)
Yes It sounds exactly the same when you try to open websites like icloud or YouTube trought any Windows phone
2. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Bing that's built right into WP, and powers Cortana, who has proven to provide competent, and accurate information, works perfectly fine.... There is absolutely no reason why a user would be hindered, or restricted in any way, by having Bing as the default search option...
So, who cares.... And If you really do, unnecessarily, care then you might want to get an Android device to make sure you get the best Google experience... Make sense?
These articles are stupid!.. Would PA ever run an article about how some Android devices won't let you choose Bing as the default search engine?... Get a life, Phone Arena..

Get real. Having ONLY Bing is a no-go, not that I use Google. I tried to like Bing, but MSFT is just as annoying as Google with the data mining, and the constant Bing Rewards nonsense is worse.
I would like it if every platform allowed Startpage/IXQuick search. iOS is at least allowing DuckDuckGo, which is my second choice.
13. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Rewards are pretty much nonexistent on WP unless you install the app.. We're talking about Bing on WP.. What are you talking about?
57. Jinto (Posts: 436; Member since: 15 Jan 2014)
On desktop you log on to bing on your msft account and do like 60 searches on it a day, and after a year, you will have enough points to get a $20 amazon gift card

android devices would never do that, that's the point.
24. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Ok, so what's the point?... Isn't this a WP device?... Do you expect for a WP device to look, function, and work like an Android device?.... What is going on here? Why?
29. Arte-8800 (banned) (Posts: 4562; Member since: 13 Mar 2014)
That's right, it should work and function like Android, not like Wp.
Because Wp gets no love by public nor by users, accept fanboy who love Ms and Nokia.

A cat would never bark.
MS wants customers to use it's services.

12. sgodsell (Posts: 3635; Member since: 16 Mar 2013)
Maybe if you actually started using Android, then you would know that is not true. Users on Android can change the search engine to Yahoo, Bing, Ask, AOL, and of course Google.
Not to mention there is a Yahoo and Bing search widgets that can be placed on the Android home screens. Remember WP and Microsoft are closed, restricted. It certainly can't be Android since its open.
14. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Exactly!. That's exactly my point... I don't usually respond to trolls, and don't think that I'm going to entertain you any further, but if certain people love Android so much, and think that it does exactly what they need way better than WP then what's the point?.. What's your point?.. Are you, and others, being blocked from using Android?... If that's your platform of choice then why would you care what WP can, or can't do?...... Why?
19. tasior (Posts: 265; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
Because, they would also like to have a choice and since WP fails in most basic things for them, they are left with none.
21. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
But, why would you need another platform when Android is full of never ending choices?.. Android is infinitely customizable... It doesn't make sense what you're attempting to point out... Give me a real reason...
28. tasior (Posts: 265; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
I don't want to answer for anybody, since I wasn't in the conversation, when You asked it. Maybe they're not completely satisfied? They like some things in WP, but other things iritate them. So they need to point out, what is wrong in the OS, so maybe someone will notice and change it...
30. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Is that the case?
54. marcski07 (Posts: 598; Member since: 25 Apr 2014)
i agree with tasior, remember, they have the brand of nokia, and have the os of wp, they want a nokia device with its features and their great hardware + trusted brand. but wp is making it so restricted that is become irritating, so many hates them... surely i would love to buy a beautiful phone from nokia, not because i'm a fan, but because i trust the brand and it never fails me to catch my eye because of their elegant design, but having restrictions because of the os, makes you restricted, i personally don't like to jump on android, because the design language and the skins are too frustrating just looking by it.. i want simple elegant looking handset, and nokia + wp has it, but the deal breaker is the restrictiveness of the OS, and their crAPPS, if you wan't to compete, you have to do what others are making good, and make it better.. metro ui is okay with me, but it is so restrictive as if the OS or MS owns me, not the other way around...
17. tasior (Posts: 265; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
Hey PhoneArena. I would love to see more precise info about operating systems. What actually can be done with them, and what is impossible. Here are some questions, that many tech geeks, like to know:
Internet Browser - what are choices for platforms. How does text wrapping work on them. How do they work with media players? How does YouTube, Vimeo, or whatever work on them? When browsing, can You easily handle embedded videos or map in web pages. Can you download text files with weird type extensions and read them? etc.
Connectivity - bluetooth (sending files, internet tethering, playing music, compatibility with different OS's), DLNA (servers, pushing DLNA, and DLNA players, how does matter look like in each OS), WIFI (tethering, wireless connections with PC), SSH (is there possibility to make servers, or at least connect to servers and get files)
Maps and localisation - (what solutions are offered, which ones are offline, which ones are online, how rooting works, is there any way to get google map on WP, is there any way to get Here map on android etc. )
Cloud storage - (which services work on which OS's, and how comfortable they are)
Offline data managing - if someone doesn't trust NSA, or simply doesn't want to share his private information with companies, what can he/she actually do with his smartphone?
For many tech enthusiasts, much more important, when choosing platform, is how do they cope with problems like these above, than whether they have widgets or live tiles...
22. rodneyej1 (Posts: 3576; Member since: 06 Jul 2013)
Just a real, honest question.. I was just wondering how old you are.. I'm just wondering.. No jokes..

No, you speak fine, a lot better than a lot of guys on here... Some idiots use the word "Jelly" for jealous.... Now that's just plain stupid... What device do you have?
35. tasior (Posts: 265; Member since: 04 Nov 2012)
You should be able to see my phone history in my profile.
I use Nokia 808, as my main device. I came back to Symbian from Android, because I was irritated, how rapidly my phone got old and slow, when I was using Android. Obviously system is dying, so I'm watching the market, in order to find something suitable, for future purchase. I will probably come back to Android since google worked on optimalization in Jelly Bean, and since the ultra exponential growth in processing speed slowly comes to an end. But I don't see anything worth switching, since PureView is truly life changing technology.

Featured Golf News
Morris Wins 109th PNGA Women's Amateur; Turbide Takes Women's Mid-Am
Rachel Morris of Carlsbad, Calif. won the 109th PNGA Women's Amateur Championship after beating 2008 champion Cyna Rodriguez 8 and 6 in the 36-hole championship match at Clarkston Golf and Country Club in Clarkston, Wash.
Morris put on an impressive display of golf, dominating the match the entire way. In the morning 18 holes she built a 4-up lead by using the brilliant putting she has had all week. She made a 60-foot par putt on the par-4 12th hole to win the hole and capped off the morning round with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 18th hole in front of a large gallery.
After a lunch break, Morris won the first two holes of the afternoon round to build her lead to 6-up. Her approach shot on the par-5 second hole, the 20th of the match, landed in the cup before bouncing out to 5 inches for a conceded birdie. Rodriguez was able to get the margin back to five holes after a birdie on the next hole, but that's as close as it would get as Morris continued to play mistake-free.
After building her lead back to 6-up, Morris would win the 29th hole of the day with a 9-foot birdie putt to go dormie and get to 7-up with seven holes to play. On the next hole Morris nearly holed out her chip and, after Rodriguez missed her 10-foot par putt, the hole and match were conceded to Morris. On the day Morris was 4-under par through their 30 holes and made only three bogeys.
This is Morris's first women's amateur victory after a decorated junior career. She will be a teammate of Rodriguez when she joins the women's golf program at USC this fall. She comes into collegiate golf as the No. 3-ranked junior girl in the world.
In the 9th PNGA Women's Mid-Amateur Championship, also being held at Clarkston Golf and Country Club, Sandra Turbide of Maple Ridge, B.C., defeated Anne Carr 4 and 3 to win the title.
Turbide was playing in only her second PNGA event this week. Her first was the inaugural PNGA Women's Mid-Amateur in 2002, when she was defeated by PNGA Hall of Fame member Joan Edwards-Powell in the quarterfinals. After having barely survived two difficult matches yesterday that each went 19 holes, Turbide came out hot Friday making par on the first eight holes to build a 4-up lead over Carr.
Carr came back on the back nine and was able to cut the lead to only 2-up after their 13th hole, but the early deficit was too much to overcome. Turbide won the 14th hole with a par and then closed out the match with a birdie on the par-4 15th.

Media giant digitizing biz, expanding
German media giant Bertelsmann on Wednesday unveiled longterm plans to reshape its operations, including a digital makeover and expansion into high-growth regions including China — possibly powered by an initial public offering.
This is one option being considered by new chairman and CEO Thomas Rabe, who took the reins at the beginning of the year.
The company is changing its legal structure to that of a Kommanditgesellschaft auf Aktien (KgaA), a cross between a joint stock corporation and limited partnership in which the Mohn family, which controls 100% of the group, would remain in charge of the executive board while allowing new shareholders or limited partners to potentially buy shares.
Rabe said raising equity through an IPO or share sale was one of several options the company was weighing but no decisions are likely before fall.
Bertelsmann flirted with the stock market a decade ago — a move championed by former CEO Thomas Middelhoff — before deciding to remain a family business.
"We are in a good starting position for the next phase in the group's development," Rabe said. "Our primary goal is to grow the company faster, and to make it more digital and international."
Rabe's future strategy includes consolidation and strengthening of Bertelsmann's vast asset portfolio, accelerating the digitalization of core businesses, establishing new growth platforms and expanding into new countries.
"On this basis, we will reshape Bertelsmann over the next five to 10 years," Rabe said.
The plan follows a companywide discussion on its future direction initiated by Rabe in his first few months on the job in which he spoke with managers and employee reps from Bertelsmann's key divisions.
Conglom is also entering the rapidly growing global education business.
Rabe added that the group would invest in global businesses that have longterm growth potential and benefit from developments in digital media.
"Examples of this are our successful music rights business and new activities in the field of education. At the same time, we will widen our footprint in countries like India, China and Brazil," he said.
In 2011, Bertelsmann generated most of its revenue from ad sales-driven operations, particularly those of the pan-European RTL Group of TV channels as well as TV production, the rapidly growing e-book business and the service sector.
High ratings and airtime bookings at RTL Group channels, numerous bestsellers at Random House; popular G+J magazine brands; and customized outsourcing solutions for businesses all helped Bertelsmann maintain or improve strong market positions.
Overall, revenue climbed 1.2% to €15.3 billion ($20.4 billion), while net profit slipped 2.7% to $620 million, a lower dip than forecast.
Revenue growth in its core businesses were offset by planned start-up losses for new businesses and a weak performance by some of its printing operations, as well as declines in replication and direct-marketing operations.
On the executive front, Bertelsmann will see a first next month when RTL Group co-topper Anke Schaeferkordt becomes the first female on Bertelsmann's executive board.
In April, Schaeferkordt, head of RTL Germany, and Guillaume de Posch, RTL Group chief operating officer, will replace outgoing chief exec Gerhard Zeiler at the broadcasting group.

Have no fear. Everybody's favorite furry monsters are here.
For the first time in a decade, Sesame Street Live is returning to the Bryce Jordan Center in State College on March 13 and 14. This time, Elmo and his buddies are on a mission - to save Super Grover.
Sesame Street Live's musical production "Elmo's Super Heroes" features Abby Cadabby, Zoe, Telly and Elmo as the Super Heroes who try to get back Super Grover's "super-ness." Also joining in the fun are Big Bird, Ernie, The Count, Oscar, Prairie Dawn, Rosita and other Sesame Street favorites.

(From left) Abby Cadabby, Elmo, Telly and Zoe star in the Sesame Street Live show "Elmo's Super Heroes."
When the Bryce Jordan Center opened 16 years ago, Sesame Street Live was the first children's show. The show was booked five times in the first seven years, but then other children's shows came to town.
"There were other children's shows that people wanted to see," said Bernie Punt, director of sales and marking for the Bryce Jordan Center.
Then, it was hard to get Sesame Street Live back on the schedule.
Fact Box
If you go
What: Sesame Street Live's "Elmo's Super Heroes"
When: 7 p.m. March 13 and 10:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. March 14
Where: Bryce Jordan Center, University Park
Tickets: $12, $16 and $20; VIP seating also available. Available at the Penn State Altoona campus or by calling 865-5555. For group sales of 10 or more, call 863-5502.
"We've been trying to get them back. We have a whole new generation of kids that have not seen a live production of Sesame Street Live. We're pretty excited about it," Punt said.
The 90-minute show (with 15-minute intermission) involves Elmo and his Super Heroes going on a quest to help Super Grover by exploring nutrition, sleep, energy and hygiene.
Super Grover loses his powers and the "Fabulous Five" help him regain his superpowers by exercising healthy habits like sleeping right, eating right and brushing their teeth.
"They find out how to eat healthy and how to exercise through song, dance and interaction," said Kelly Suter, publicist for VEE Corporation, the producer of Sesame Street Live.
Catering to 2- to 6 -year-olds, the show features a lot of audience interaction and catchy tunes. Some the children will recognize, while others are new to the show. Some characters come out into the audience to interact with the children.
The best part of the show is watching the kids' reactions when their favorite characters come onstage for the first time, Punt said.
"It's always a thrill. Even for those of us that have been here for years. The first time the characters come on stage, to hear the kids gasp. That never gets old," he said.
"It's a lot of fun for all ages," Suter said. Though the show caters to preschoolers, Suter said older kids, parents and grandparents love Sesame Street. "Everyone grew up with Sesame Street."
Like the 43-year-old television show, Sesame Street Live teaches kids while they're having fun.
"It's a fun, interactive way to learn how to eat healthy," Suter said. "It's different from Mom telling you to brush your teeth or eat your veggies. They're ready to be healthy like Super Grover. They don't want to lose their powers."
"The kids will really learn something," Punt agreed. "They're actually educating children about something."
Punt said he expects the 2,500 seats for the performance to be sold out.

The headache is part of the carb withdrawal. I had them the first 2 weeks of Primal. Just take it easy & know that it will pass. Be sure to drink LOTS of water and get to bed early. It will help.
greetings everyone,
so this is day four for me, day three was the hardest so far. i was in bed last night thinking i did not want eggs again for breakfast! however, i woke up and felt fine and had some bacon and eggs. i have been eating plenty of fat and protein, only 47 carbs today. however, i have had a headache all freaking day, is this normal? i am guessing it is my body making the switch from burning carbs to burning fat but wholly crap i want it to end. it almost feels like a hunger headache, however i am NOT hungry! someone just tell me it will end and i will hang in there!
The headache is part of the carb withdrawal. I had them the first 2 weeks of Primal. Just take it easy & know that it will pass. Be sure to drink LOTS of water and get to bed early. It will help.

I had really bad all day headaches after starting primal. Ones that Advil and Tylenol didn't relieve. (I also gave up coffee at the same time, so this may have made the headaches even worse) I was actually quite concerned and posted here because they were so bad. I'm happy to say that they did go away, but it took about 2-2 1/2 weeks. Not fun!

wow thanks for the great advice everyone! i will hang tough knowing this is normal. what a great forum. max, i have been eating about 70- 100 grams of carbs a day, today just happened to be lower. perhaps i'll grab a small piece of fruit and take it easy.
Did you also drop coffee? That can give you withdrawal headaches as well.
Same thing happened to me! I drink m ore water when I get headaches, because sometimes it's dehydration.
Headache in the early stages = carb withdrawal. You are kicking the carb habit. Eat fat, hang in there, it gets better faster than you think.
Primal eating in a nutshell: If you are hungry, eat Primal food until you are satisfied (not stuffed). Then stop. Wait until you're hungry again. Repeat.

How long you been eating primal?
Also recognize that these things can vary significantly from one day to the next....something like 20 points for LDL and 10 points for HDL.
That and I have heard tale that the LDL breakdowns can be quite inaccurate. Might wanna check that out. Think it was Chris Kesslers Paleo Summit talk that I heard that on. Thats why he has quit using them I suppose.
AND....If these are my test results I'm not concerned at all.

I'm someone who tries to suppress anger and frustration, particularly if I'm in company. I'll avoid using the clinical lingo in expressing my point…
I usually repress my anger, bury it deep, yet it inevitably surfaces, at some given point. It typically takes the form of a bout of rage. They are few and far between, often years between them, yet they are certain to occur eventually. However, from my experience most people deal with this frustration, pent up rage, existential angst, whatever you want to call it, in a different way.
Within various degrees of subtlety, most people are passive-aggressive in the society which I live, I wouldn't be ignorant as to suggest these is a universal phenomenon.
Without meandering further along that vein, I'd like to say that I appreciate you taking the time to read this. I've needed to do this for some time, who knows? perhaps the cathartic effect of simply typing this out will support me in living out my religious convictions of modelling my life on the person of Christ, whom it must be said, had a self control and discipline unknown, or at least perceptibly rare these days… (though he evidently wasn't immune from anger, Peter found that out!).
I'll give some examples of this passive aggressiveness to illustrate my point,
facial expressions, and body language aside, there come turns of phrases, subtle quips and palpably insulting insinuations;
"Only that could happen to you "- " I don't know anyone else that could happen to…" – "Yeah I'd do that if I were you…" (this one is often accompanied by a noticeably insincere chuckle, almost like an unconscious reflex)
Here's some more condescending statements which instill a sense of impotence, "What do you think?", "Obviously..", "I wouldn't be so…", "Shouldn't you…" "I don't think that's……. (always followed by a condescending 'haha', which although issued seemingly in nobody's direction is targeted at you and your dignity).
A few more to round it off, "Do you even know?…" (Chance of subsequent 'ha' or 'haha' 80%) "Ehhhh…..No". (Americanized = Ummmm…..No).
Well there you have it, you'll be a wee bit more perceptive to mockery, derision, passive aggression, twits, twats, knitwits, and perhaps simply undisciplined people venting their frustrations in the unfortunate manner…..ah yes, the remedy to this I've discovered is a good slap in the back of the head.

2-3 December, 70 researchers, government officials and civil society representatives gathered to discuss the future of food security in the Mekong region. The workshop was organised by Shared Waters Partnership to address the changes in the water management regime of the Mekong River.
Cambodia and the Vietnamese Delta are the most sensitive areas for food security due to the alteration of the Mekong mainstream. The anticipated changes includes 88 politically contentious dams, all planned or already under construction in the Lower Mekong basin.
"Cambodia will need to replace 340,000 tons of lost fish protein yearly as a result of the 11 planned upstream dams. So what is the answer to this loss?" said Jamie Pittock, lecturer at the Australian National University, during his keynote presentation.
The Royal Government of Cambodia has an ambitious plan to develop hydropower dams in the Mekong tributaries confined within Cambodia. The government of Lao PDR has recently notified the Mekong River Commission of its decision to proceed with the development of the Don Sahong dam, located only 1 km from the Cambodian border. The Don Sahong dam site, where the river forms a complex network of water channels, is an extremely vital route for fish migration:
Map of the Don Sahong project site (MRC, 2013)
Presentations during the workshop focused on the impacts of building the dam. Conclusions indicated that the risks to fisheries, which are the major source of food and nutrients for Cambodian people, are extremely high.
Fish resources are the second largest dietary components after rice in Cambodia and provide most of protein and micro-nutrients to the local population. Fish migration is sensitive to the artificial barriers in the river, such as dams. Fish passages and other technical solutions have been put forward as mitigation measures to prevent fisheries loss, yet it was pointed out many times during the workshops that such solutions are not adequate to accommodate fish migration and simply cannot ensure food security. Mak Sithirith, Researcher, WorldFish, said that "fish passages are not to support the food production but just to argue for the dam building. It does not make sense for the local communities."
The hot-spot addressed was the Tonle Sap System. The Tonle Sap is the fourth largest inland fishery in the world and supports over 1 million people in floating villages and another 2 million people in flood plain. The impact of the hydropower dams coupled with effects of climate change will affect the Tonle Sap severely. Marko Keskinen, lecturer at Aalto University, stressed that "cumulative impacts of climate change and hydropower will alter flood pulse significantly and radically reduce the inflow of nutrient-rich sediments to the Tonle Sap system. These changes are likely to have negative impact on ecosystem productivity, including fish production."
The Cambodian Agricultural Research and Development Institute aims to achieve food security through increased rice production. Participants of the workshop however agreed that the current rice intensification scheme can have negative impact on fisheries due to the release of pesticides and fertiliser and unsustainable land use. Promoting the mix of fish and rice paddy rather than intensifying rice production was put forward as a potential mitigation tactic.
Responding to the changes and challenges facing the food security of Cambodia, the Royal Government of Cambodia must adopt the strong multi-disciplinary approach that captures the dynamic between water-food-energy in the long-term national vision on food security. The research community in Cambodia has an important role to inform the government on the risks and to suggest the sustainable alternatives to mitigate the risks foreseen. SIWI/UNDP Shared Waters Partnership will continue to work on enhancing the food security dialogue in the region to translate the results from the workshops to the policy level.
Big thanks to all the participants of the workshop!

The child of Day-Lewis and his former girlfriend, actress Isabelle Adjani, this novice rapper appears to have an appreciation for fall colors, based on the video for "Green Auras." Day, decked out in a backwards cap and backpack, raps about drug culture, life at Sarah Lawrence College and the art of chilling. He proves his ability to rhyme, but the true test of his spitting skills relies on one question: Can he beat Tom Hanks's son, Chet Haze, in a Hollywood royalty rap battle?
Rita Wilson and Hanks's eldest son, Chester – or "Chet" – had a head start, releasing his first video, "Hollywood," in 2011, followed by 2012's "Do It Better," but this doesn't secure him a win. Since we don't have Eminem to officiate, it's up to you to decide. Don't let your favoritism for these kids' famous dads stand in the way; this is about letting their flow woo your soul. So which do you prefer, the Robin Thicke-esque sing-rapping of Mr. Haze or the old-school, Bieber-faced beats of Gabe Day?

You say that you had the willingness to sit with a village girl and learnt to laugh out the fool in you! There is an underlying pride that you are "American Born" as you mentioned, throughout the article. Indians are smart ppl including your parents! Instead of waiting to play another chowka bara next time when you go to India, sit with your parents and listen to the stories of their upbringing. You'll become more down to earth and moulded.

NM, NV governors to head GOP effort
New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez and Nevada Gov. Brian Sandoval will head up a new Republican effort to recruit Hispanic and female candidates for state offices across the country.
The Republican State Leadership Committee is planning a conference call Wednesday with the Hispanic governors to announce formation of the Future Majority Caucus, which will focus on attracting and supporting more minority candidates at the state level.
Martinez and Sandoval were active in GOP minority recruitment efforts last year, although President Barack Obama overwhelming captured the minority vote in the last presidential election.
Martinez is the nation's first elected Hispanic female governor. Sandoval is Nevada's first Hispanic governor.

ALLENTOWN, Pa. (AP) - The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday that it will deliver fresh water to four homes in a northeastern Pennsylvania village where residential water wells were tainted by a gas driller. The agency also said it will begin testing the water supplies of dozens more homes as it ramps up its investigation more than three years after homeowners say the water supply was ruined.
Capping a tumultuous two weeks in which EPA first promised the residents a tanker of water - and then quickly backed away, saying more study was needed - federal environmental regulators said they have concluded that contaminant levels in four of the homes pose a health hazard and require emergency action. Some of the water samples, the agency said, were found to be polluted with cancer-causing arsenic and synthetic chemicals typically found in drilling fluids.
The first delivery of water is scheduled for Friday.
I cant even tell you, again, what a relief this is. because thats all weve asked for - water, said Julie Sautner, one of the homeowners.
Additionally, EPA said it will sample water at 61 homes in the area of Carter and Meshoppen roads to assess further whether any residents are being exposed to hazardous substances that cause health concerns. The testing, to be carried out over the next several weeks, marks a significant expansion of the agencys probe in Dimock, a tiny crossroads at the center of a national debate over gas drilling and the extraction technique known as hydraulic fracturing, or fracking.
More than a dozen homeowners in Dimock say they have been without a reliable supply of clean water since Cabot Oil & Gas Corp., the Houston-based drilling firm blamed for polluting their aquifer, won permission from state regulators to halt daily deliveries on Nov. 30.
After analyzing sampling data provided by Cabot, the residents, and the state Department of Environmental Protection, EPA said hazardous substances were found in the water wells of several homes. But only in four homes were they in high enough concentrations to present a health threat, the agency said. EPA said it might provide water to additional homes, or stop delivering water altogether, depending on the results of its own testing,
EPA is working diligently to understand the situation in Dimock and address residents concerns, EPA Regional Administrator Shawn M. Garvin said in a statement. We believe that the information provided to us by the residents deserves further review, and conducting our own sampling will help us fill information gaps. Our actions will be based on the science and the law and we will work to help get a more complete picture of water quality for these homes in Dimock.
EPA said the federal Superfund program - the environmental fund used to clean up abandoned hazardous waste sites - authorized it to take emergency action in Dimock.
Its not clear how many wells in Dimock were affected by the drilling, which began in 2008. The state has found that at least 18 residential water wells were fouled by stray methane gas from Cabots drilling operation, although EPA said Thursday that its own door-to-door survey turned up 20 water wells on those same parcels.
Cabot, which was banned in 2010 from drilling in a 9-square-mile area around the village, took legal responsibility for the methane found in the wells, but contends that water wells in the area were tainted with the gas long before the company arrived. The company also says it met a state deadline to restore or replace Dimocks water supply, installing treatment systems in some houses that have removed the methane.

Editor's Note: As has been the custom in the past, each new president is interviewed by the APWA Reporter at the beginning of each presidential term. In this manner, presidential plans are laid out, hopes revealed, and observations noted. The following are the answers contributed by new president, Richard Ridings.
First, a brief background on Ridings, who is the Vice President-Central Division at HNTB Corporation, Austin, Texas. Ridings worked in the public sector for 25 years, beginning in January 1968 as a laborer with the Water and Wastewater Department for the City of Maryville, Tennessee. Following that, he was Transportation Division Head for the City of Texarkana, Texas; City Engineer for the City of Farmers Branch, Texas; Director of Public Works and Engineering for the City of Austin, Texas; Assistant City Manager for the City of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma; and Chief Executive Officer of the Oklahoma Turnpike Authority.
Ridings retired from the public sector in December 1992, and went to work for HNTB Corporation shortly thereafter. He has been a vice president of the corporation since that time.
Ridings did his undergraduate work at the University of Texas-Arlington, receiving a bachelor's degree in civil engineering. He also has a master's degree in public administration from Southwest Texas State University. He has been a member of APWA for 31 years (lifetime member).
How do you see your role as president?
I believe my role as president is to ensure that the Strategic Plan, as developed by the members through their chapters and by the Board of Directors, is advanced in an effective and efficient manner during my tenure.
What areas do you intend to emphasize during your presidency?
I believe there are three tenets of APWA that I espouse-advocacy, education, and relationships. In the first-advocacy-we need APWA representatives to speak up for public works needs in the world. Second, in order to be effective advocates, we must educate ourselves as to the value of our public works infrastructure, its location throughout our communities, and the cost to maintain this infrastructure.
Finally, the proper way to achieve the two previous items is through relationships. By networking with each other, particularly during our educational meetings at Congress, through our chapters, and through our APWA-InfoLink and infoNOW systems, we can rapidly advance our programs throughout this country.
Are there new directions you would like APWA to explore during your term as president?
There are no new directions that I wish for us to explore. I wish for us to advance our current chapter-approved programs. Quite frankly, I believe that in order for us to do that, we must also expand our membership. Even though we now have approximately 26,000 members in APWA, we could be much more effective with the implementation of our Strategic Plan if we were able to increase our membership. I would solicit each member's help this year in expanding our membership at our chapter levels.
Is there any area of public works in which APWA should become more involved?
I don't see more involved as the issue. I believe the issue is for APWA to expand the current board-approved programs, and to encourage more of our members to sign up on APWA-InfoLink and infoNOW and use our current programs to expand our educational and advocacy processes.
Certainly these programs can be improved, and the best way to improve them is to have more of our knowledgeable members join them and become more active in APWA.
If there were one major public works problem you could solve, which would it be?
If I were king, I would solve the funding problems. In order to improve our public works funding, I sincerely believe that we have to effectively communicate to the taxpayers the status of our current public works infrastructure. Public works has, for too long, taken a back seat in funding other enterprises. It is now time for us to be advocates for the public trust, and let the public know what our infrastructure is worth and how much it is going to cost to take care of it.
I believe that if we were to effectively educate our voters and citizens, they would be more than happy to fund our public works needs. Trash cans, weeds, dilapidated public buildings, leaking sewer lines, and similar items aren't sexy items to talk about, which means that we have to be that much more effective in our communication processes.
The speech that you will hear me espousing all across the country over the next year concerns advocacy, education, and relationships. I am a product of APWA. I received all my informal education through APWA over the last 31 years, and I just feel like I owe APWA so much. I've learned a great deal, and I sometimes can't understand why others would not want to go through the same educational training programs that I went through with APWA to try to be a more effective public worker.
I've been very fortunate. I've moved around a lot, and one reason I've moved around is to try to learn more. It's just like going to different universities-you work in a different town, you get to go to a different university. And your library-that of public works knowledge and information-becomes expanded. Of course, now there is so much more available to people that I didn't have 30 years ago. With the Internet, the library of knowledge and information is significantly expanded, and we need to take more advantage of that and put that information to use.
I've been involved in successful $1 billion bond elections; one of the largest transportation construction programs in the U.S.; and water, wastewater and airport projects. I have seen knowledge and information shared with the taxpayers, and I've seen them respond by overwhelmingly approving the funding of public works infrastructure. So, I know it can be done. I'm not coming from an apotheosis situation, I'm coming from experience-experience provided me by APWA and these communities for which I have worked.
I wish I had the ability to take what's in my heart and take everything I know and get the information out, but it would do no good coming from me-it needs to come from the public works officials in their own communities to their citizens. So, it's our job to encourage those officials to be what they are capable of being.
If we had a public works official in every community who knew what he or she had in terms of the public works infrastructure-where it was, how much it was worth, and how much it was going to cost to maintain-and translate that into a tax rate and communicate it effectively, then we could solve our biggest problem in public works, which is financing our infrastructure. And, it's nothing new. What I'm talking about I learned 31 years ago, in APWA short courses taught by APWA members and staff.

Hi everyone, I'm a little emotional right now because I just got home from my last Steak N' Shake run for the next three months...*wipe away tears* I will miss the 1000 calorie shakes, the "meals under $4" menu, and the 2-4am happy hours.

Did you install with Yast? The last time I put a desktop suite on my

And it was fvwm! Alas, when I run it it won't display anything, but
that's another issue. I use Gnome anyway, but wish I could help more.

"I love you and I love me": Volunteering with the Stairway boys
13 August 2008
by Meghann Aurea Villanueva
Manila, The Philippines: I'm Meghann Aurea Villanueva (Meg). Born and grew up in the Philippines. I've been connected with IAVE since I first attended the 17th World Conference in Seoul, South Korea where I presented a workshop on 'The Impact of Youth Volunteering in the Philippines - a Look at the University setting'. I was only 17 at that time, and it was the first time I met Leo Wong, Carlos Roca Parada, and other people in the youth circle.
I recently finished my Master's degree in Conflict and Reconciliation Studies, and for my Master's thesis, I did a study on the Similarities and Differences of how Christian and Muslim Youth Understand Peace.
I am currently the Program Manager and Country Manager of PeaceTech Inc., an international NGO that promotes dialogue among youth from different geographical and social backgrounds – we utilize technology (internet and videoconferencing) to bridge young people around the world.
Before I was involved with PeaceTech, I was teaching peace education, English and education for international understanding.
I was a resource speaker at the IAVE World Youth Volunteer Conference in Panama, where I presented on 'The Global Impact of Youth Volunteering' in the plenary.
I've been involved in volunteer initiatives since the early age of 10, because both my parents work in community development projects and were both Jesuit Volunteers themselves. I have volunteered both in local and international programs, such as UN and ASEAN campaigns.
Recently, I spent one of the best five-day periods of my life at Stairway Foundation as a peace camp volunteer.
Living, eating, playing and learning new things with 30 young people who have their own different life stories to tell, it was impossible to leave the place without sadness and a strong wish to be able to come back again. We had three different groups – 10 participants came from International School Manila, another 10 are Mangyans from Tugdaan High School, and the rest, we call the Stairway Foundation boys.
Founded in 1990 by Monica Ray (USA) and Lars Jorgensen (Denmark), Stairway Foundation Inc. is a resource learning centre for marginalized street children in the Philippines.
Working directly with street children since its establishment, it was discovered through the alternative program that street children did not only struggle with problems related to violence, drugs, and alcohol, but also child abuse and sexual exploitation.
This realization brought SFI to join forces with international networks to fight against sexual abuse and exploitation among children, and challenged them to develop advocacy and capacity building programs geared toward this end.
Most of the children at Stairway are either abused or come from dysfunctional families or juvenile prisons. Some of them were drug addicts, homeless or street children.
The foundation provides a one-year programme that gives them an opportunity to gain practical living skills, where their basic needs, such as shelter, food and clothing, are provided for free. As they mature into the programme, they are expected to start earning through livelihood projects such as henna tattoo skills, tie-dye and t-shirt printing, designing dream catchers and making friendship bands. Through these, they learn to provide for themselves through their own efforts and capacities. It increases their self-confidence and veers them away from begging, stealing or gambling. They also get assigned dishwashing and other cleaning duties every week.
The children are divided into learning levels and taught classes just like they would be taught in schools. They have their own classrooms and even a computer room where they are taught practical computer skills. They also undergo seminars on children's rights, different forms of violence and child abuse. They also have yearly camps and tons of outdoor activities. Over-all, they are given a well-rounded program for their holistic development.
As a volunteer, I facilitated sessions on peace and conflict, as well as teambuilding activities. I was also assigned to lead the Yellow Team – a group that gave me some wonderful memories that I will never forget. Our team, composed of two international school students, two indigenous girls, two boys from Stairway Foundation, and one boy from Cairo, Egypt, ate together, washed dishes together, and accomplished group tasks together – most of the time, trying to get to know more about each others' personal lives.
At one time, my teammate had to wake me up for dinner because the group would not start without all of us present at the group dining table. I was teary eyed as I realized how much they cared for me to even go out of their way to find me.
Every morning, at 6.00 am, we would form a big circle by the beach and do some breathing and morning exercises. The highlight of this morning meeting was the activity called 'I love you, and I love me', where each person gets to say "I love you", looking straight to the person next to him/her, and end by saying, "And I love me".
In the circle, everybody receives an "I love you" from someone, and based on the Stairway boys I got to mingle with, I found out that the activity was therapeutic and at the same time, very relieving to them. I remember one boy, Christian, telling me "ang sarap pala ng pakiramdam ng may nagmamahal sayo" which means, "It feels really good to know that someone loves you".
It is amazing how these kids, through their troubles, can give so much laughter and smiles in their faces. It is very admirable that despite their unhappy past, they manage to look up and be strong – and see a brighter future ahead of them.

A former Jefferies & Co. managing director was arrested and accused of engaging in a scheme to defraud customers of more than $2 million on trades of residential mortgage-backed securities, prosecutors said.
Jesse C. Litvak, 38, of New York, was arrested at his home today and charged with 16 counts including securities fraud, fraud connected with the Troubled Asset Relief Program and making false statements to the federal government, Connecticut U.S. Attorney David Fein said in a statement.
Alleged victims include "numerous" investment funds, among them six established by the U.S. Treasury Department in 2009 as part of its response to the financial crisis, according to the statement from Fein's office. Litvak also defrauded private investment funds, according to the statement.
Litvak didn't respond to an e-mail seeking comment on the charges. A person who answered a phone listed for Litvak, and declined to give her name, said Litvak had no comment. Richard Khaleel, a spokesman for New York-based Jefferies, didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment on the case.
Maximum Penalties
Litvak is charged with 11 counts of securities fraud and faces as long as 20 years in prison on each count if convicted. He is also charged with one count of TARP fraud, which carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, and four counts of making false statements to the federal government, each of which carries a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
He started at Jefferies in April 2008, according to records of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority. Before that, he worked for RBS Greenwich Capital, according to Finra's records.
Litvak was fired from Jefferies on Dec. 21, 2011, he said in a Delaware Chancery court filing in October. He said in the filing that he was under investigation by the U.S. attorney for Connecticut, the Office of the Special Inspector General for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, Finra and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. He is seeking money from Jefferies to cover his legal fees. The firm said in a court filing that the matter should be resolved in arbitration.
Kurt Heyman, a lawyer at Proctor Heyman LLP who represented Litvak in the Delaware matter, didn't immediately respond to messages seeking comment on the latest charges.
The SEC today filed a lawsuit against Litvak in federal court in Connecticut, accusing him of defrauding investors.
A customer complained to Jefferies in November 2011 that it had been overcharged for some mortgage-backed securities, according to Finra records, which didn't identify the customer. Jefferies settled the case in March for $2.2 million, according to the records.
