With all the mess the world can be sometimes for women, it does churn up ladies who have enough guts and talent to blow our minds away!
Here are some awesome female entrepreneurs who have made it big just by being brilliant and gutsy enough to follow their dreams and make them come true!
Ingrid Vanderveldt
"All entrepreneurs have an aggressive negative voice coming from somewhere, but we also have a choice about how we respond to it: We can choose to see ourselves as the kids with all the problems, or we can choose to see ourselves, as I did, as special and awesome."
An entrepreneur, investor and business television host, this dynamic lady does not know how to give up or back down! She is the CEO of Austin, Texas-based Ingrid Vanderveldt LLC, which aims to fuel the entrepreneurial success of a billion women by 2020 by providing tools, technology & resources to empower entrepreneurs around the globe.
She is also founder of Dell Innovators Credit Fund at Dell, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at Dell, CEO at Green Girl Energy Inc. , Founding Organizer at The GLASS Forum amd Managing Partner at VH2 Energy Investments LLC.
She says she was an entrepreneur from the start, building lemonade stands and winning awards for selling the most chocolate bars, but wasn't faring well at school. Several years later her parents found out she had severe hearing issues. But never the one to get demotivated, she kept on. After finishing her education, A master's degree in business administration she embarked on her first real venture, an online data-mining and data-analytics company. She hasn't looked back since!
Stacey Ferreira
What to tell you about this extremely talented lady? Stacey Ferreira co-founded my social cloud when she was just 18 years old!
My Social Cloud allows users to store their passwords and bookmarks in one place for easy access (as well as handy alerts if their passwords are ever stolen). In July 2012 the company received $1 million in seed money after responding to a tweet from Sir Richard Branson!
In past years, Stacey has headed and developed the music blog, MusViews, creating a place for all music lovers to connect and become informed on underground bands. She has also been involved on the Board of Non-profit movement, Open Table which surrounds homeless people with a network of people to advise them on each aspect of their life including budget, jobs, etc.
Wow. We wonder what she will come up with next. Hats off!
Limor Fried
Limor Fried is an electrical engineer and owner of the electronics hobbyist company, Adafruit Industries. She is also known for her moniker ladyada, homage to Lady Ada Lovelace.To be precise, she is DIY open-source electronic hardware kit maker.
She made MintyBoost, a portable USB mobile-device charger assembled from an Altoids tin and bits of electronic hardware.
Last year, Adafruit, which helps people create complex devices using everyday technology, did a booming $10 million trade in sales of the DIY kits.
Interestingly, her project designs are free and publicly accessible, and customers are encouraged to modify or "hack" the final product.

Tara Hunt
Tara is a true pioneer in online marketing, an author, speaker and startup founder. She has been called a "pioneer in online marketing and one of the most respected authorities on online communities," and rightfully so. She was at it even before timeline and tweets, before a blog was called a blog!
She has worked with over 30 startups, including Like.com. She wrote the bestseller, The Power of Social Networking, now printed in eight languages and has spoken all over the world on entrepreneurship and how the social web is changing business.
She says her own evolution has been"a combination of being enamored and obsessed with the social web and being in the right place at the right time."
"When it comes to social, small is the new big," she says and likens the industry to a pimply teenager: still making mistakes, still experiencing growing pains.
According to her, even her own recent startup, Buyosphere, has evolved, pivoting from a social retail platform offering insight into community buying patterns to a fashion-advice network.
Sophia Amoruso, Tastemaker
"Part of the reason I got to where I am is I never set a goal or look at the top. I like figuring out how to do things myself, and I like the idea of creating an online brand that will last a long time."
Sophia Amoruso is the founder of Nasty Gal, an online blessing for fashion lovers. It has new and vintage fashion for women, and a vintage re-seller on eBay, aiming to present her Salvation Army finds more artfully than her competition.
Last year Nasty Gal rocketed to prominence when Sophia scored a $40 million round of funding from Index Ventures--investors in Skype, Dropbox and Blue Bottle Coffee.
Yael Cohen
When Yael Cohen's mother was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2009, Cohen was understandably upset but instead of lamenting and falling down the depression hole, she found an outlet. She made a "F*** cancer" T-shirt for her mother! A little while later, she started a Facebook group by the same name.
Before long, the group had more than 1,000 members sharing support. Four years later, and with nearly 66,000 Facebook followers, F*** Cancer has turned into a fast-growing nonprofit mission. A mission to change the way cancer is perceived and diagnosed through mobilizing young people.
Cohen has participated in such events as the Summit Series (Washington, D.C. and Miami), the Clinton Global Initiative, TEDWomen, TEDx Vancouver,the United Nations Nexus Conference, and TEDMED. In 2011, Cohen was named one of the "12 people who are transforming philanthropy" by Canada's The Globe and Mail.
Maria Flynn
She is a Biotechnology Executive but what she does is a lot more than the boring mouthful of the title. Maria Flynn is president and CEO of Orbis Biosciences, that deals in technology used in developing a vaccination that includes the follow-up dose; taste-masking oral pills to neutralize flavor (so no yucky medicines!); and even working with antimicrobials for the U.S. Department of Defense to improve ready-to-eat meals for the Army. Wow!
Orbis Biosciences also revolutionizes the delivery, efficacy, and safety of pharmaceuticals. Under her direction, Orbis has developed partnerships with fourteen corporations valued at a median market cap of $14B.
Jane McGonigal
Jane's job is a dream! Well at least for some! This perky, impish lady is a game designer and developer! She is also a great advocate of the use of mobile and digital technology to channel positive attitudes and collaboration, in a real world context!
On January 20, 2011, McGonigal's first book, Reality Is Broken: Why Games Make us Better and How they Can Change the World, was published. It contained loads of information regarding multiplayer online gaming and alternate reality games as well as games in general.
"My #1 goal in life is to see a game designer nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize," she says.
She has forecasted it becoming reality in 2023.
"Of course, it's not enough to just forecast the future," she goes on, "I'm also actively working to make it a reality."
Her best efforts so far, she says is the creation of SuperBetter, a game that has helped more than 150,000 players so far tackle real-life health challenges like depression, anxiety, chronic pain and traumatic brain injury.
"Games promote positive health aspects, optimism, social support and resilience," McGonigal says. "We know games have the power to change the state of the brain, stimulating parts of the brain that therapy doesn't."
Well, we wish her all the luck for her Nobel Prize! She sure deserves it if you ask us!
Prerna Gupta
Well, love singing but not a pro? Worry not! Prerna Gupta, founder of Khu.sh's co solved your problem! Her philosophy? Anyone can do it, and everyone should do it.
And she's not just all talk! What she has come up with is something very like Karaoke, but only in reverse! All you have to do is sing into the iPhone mic, and the technology composes unique background music to match, automatically employing pitch correction and other vocal effects and comes out a catchy, awesome is-that-really-me song!
But that is not her only achievement. Among other things Khu.sh's main product, LaDiDa, debuted in October 2009 and has had more than 2 million downloads. Initially priced at $2.99--expensive for iTunes--LaDiDa nonetheless maintained top-10 status among paid music apps.
In May 2011, Khu.sh temporarily offered LaDiDa for free resulting in more than 1 million downloads in a week and making it the No. 1 free music app in the U.S. and 14 other countries! They also have the zany app Songify under their belt which transforms speech into song, created in partnership with the Gregory Brothers.

NCAA President Answers Critics
SAN ANTONIO — In his first major address as president of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, Mark Emmert deflected criticisms that the sports governing body mishandled a recent rash of high-profile pay-for-play cases in football.
"So let me be really clear about some things that I think require some clarification," Emmert said Thursday in a 35-minute keynote speech at this week's NCAA convention here. "First of all, it's wrong for parents to sell the athletic services of their student-athletes to a university, and we need to make sure that we have rules to stop that problem. And today we don't. We have to fix that."
In this remark, Emmert was referring to one case in particular. Last month, it was determined that the father of Cam Newton, Auburn University's quarterback and the Heisman Trophy winner, had broken NCAA rules by actively trying to shop his son around to institutions, including Mississippi State University, for payment. Later on, determining that Newton and Auburn had no knowledge of this activity, the NCAA ruled Newton eligible to play in the Southeastern Conference championship game and the Bowl Championship Series national title game, both of which Auburn went on to win. (Newton announced Thursday he will leave college early to enter the National Football League draft.)
Emmert also addressed the practice of professional sports agents covertly paying college athletes. This practice, for example, led to Reggie Bush returning his 2005 Heisman Trophy last year and the NCAA vacating a national title he helped the University of Southern California win as its star running back.
"Student-athletes trading their standing as star student-athletes for money or benefits is not acceptable, and we need to address it and make sure it doesn't happen," Emmert said. "Student-athletes are students. They're not professionals. And we're not going to pay them. And we're not going to allow other people to pay them to play."
With this, Emmert appeared to be answering critics who have questioned the NCAA's recent punishment of athletes who have accepted money and other improper benefits. The NCAA came under fire last month for allowing Terrelle Pryor, the Ohio State University quarterback, and four of his teammates to play in the Sugar Bowl despite having been found to have violated rules by selling their conference championship rings and other mementos and accepting discounted tattoos. Pryor and the other rule-breaking athletes contributed significantly to Ohio State's win in the bowl. Instead of missing the bowl, they will begin to serve their five-game suspension next season — assuming they choose not to leave college for the NFL.
Emmert stressed that the NCAA needs to clarify its "principles" and how they are represented in its rules "so that everyone knows them and they don't wind up second-guessing when we make such decisions," including those in the Newton, Bush and Pryor cases. To do so, he noted, he is readying legislative proposals to address issues such as "third-party influences in recruiting" and will present them to the governing bodies of all three NCAA divisions at their April meetings.
"We have to find a way to manage that problem clearly and unequivocally so that people know where we stand and what we'll tolerate and what we won't," Emmert said.
Speaking to reporters after his keynote address, Emmert said he felt the need to talk about these issues directly because he has heard many critics say they are unsure where the NCAA stands on them.
For instance, regarding the Newton case, he said that many have mistakenly gotten the impression that the NCAA does not find anything wrong with a father attempting to solicit money from an institution for his son's play. Such practices are not "O.K.," Emmert said, but he noted that the NCAA does not yet have "a rule which makes that clear."
"Behaviors that undermine the collegiate model, wherever they occur, are a threat to those basic values, and we can't tolerate them," Emmert said. "If we believe in those values … we need to be ready to defend them. And if we don't, then we have to be ready to suffer the criticism that comes from not doing so."
Division I Legislative Update
After Emmert's speech, the Division I Legislative Council revealed how it voted on the more than 125 proposals it considered at this year's convention, the most controversial of which dealt with recruiting practices, programs for academically deficient athletes, and the commercial use of athletes' likenesses.
The council voted down a proposal that would have barred institutions from making verbal offers of athletic scholarships to high school students in all sports before the July 1 following their junior year. In recent years, some coaches of high-profile sports teams have made verbal scholarship offers to potential recruits as early as the eighth grade.
"There was a feeling that there's some merit to the proposal, but the concern is, how is that enforceable?" said Shane Lyons, chair of the council and associate commissioner of the Atlantic Coast Conference. "You don't want to endorse legislation that you can't enforce. Those concerns have merit to them."
The council also voted down a proposal that would have required institutions to send academically deficient men's basketball players to summer school prior to their first semester to "acclimate" them to college life. Lyons explained that the council was "not against the academic side" of the proposal, but expressed concerns that it gave players "too much access" to members of the coaching staff and might lead to excessive practice and training time.
Still, Steve Mallonee, NCAA Division I governance liaison, noted that the proposal could be saved from ultimate defeat Saturday by the Division I Board of Directors, given the "significant amount of time and effort" that went into the planning of the summer school proposal and the Board of Directors' continuing concern about the poor academic performance of basketball players.
In another major move, the council deferred a decision on a controversial proposal that would have loosened the rules on how companies can use the "likenesses" of athletes in advertisements. Lyons said the council had concerns about how the rule change could be used to "exploit" athletes. The proposal will be sent to the NCAA membership for a "comment period" and then will be reconsidered at governance meetings in April.
In an academic matter, the council voted down a proposal that would have paved the way for athletes to take online classes. This is the second NCAA convention in a row in which a proposal of this sort has been rejected. Current rules do not allow athletes to take online courses to meet their minimum continuing eligibility requirements. Critics argue that this limits athletes from doing something that their non-athlete peers can freely do.
Mallonee, however, noted that the council still has concerns that some athletes may take advantage of the online offerings and not enroll in any in-person classes. He added that the council would prefer that the rules be clarified in such a way as to restrict abuse.

One type of commonly used flow control valve incorporates a diaphragm mounted within the valve and with one face of the diaphragm exposed to the fluid flow path through the valve and the opposite face exposed to a closed pressure chamber. An aperture is formed through the diaphragm so that fluid pressure in the valve flow path is transmitted to the opposite face of the diaphragm and, because the area of the opposite face of the diaphragm is larger than the face exposed to the flow path, a greater total pressure developes on the pressure chamber side of the diaphragm, forcing it to a closed position.
To open the valve a passage connecting the pressure chamber to the downstream side of the flow path is opened to allow the pressure in the pressure chamber to decrease and the diaphragm to move from its closed to its opened position.
The size of the aperture through the diaphragm will control the rapidity with which the diaphragm operates to open and close the valve. While a reasonably fast acting valve is desirable, it will be appreciated that damage to the lines with which the valve is associated can occur if the aperture in the diaphragm is too large, since pressure build ups will occur too rapidly and cause the diaphragm to slam into the closed position. However, the aperture cannot be made too small because it would then be susceptible to clogging by either the build up of corrosion on the wall of the aperture or the presence of foreign particles in the valve.
To overcome these problems conventional practice is to provide a fairly large size aperture through the diaphragm and then decrease the open area of the aperture by means of a metering rod which is fixed in the valve and extends through the diaphragm aperture.
In this way, the diaphgram aperture can be formed fairly large without rapid pressure build ups and possible damage to the valve and the movement of the diaphgram while the metering rod remains fixed tends to keep the diaphgram aperture free from clogging by either corrosive build up or foreign particles.
However, the diaphgram does not always move uniformly between its open and closed positions. In other words, the diaphgram may lift from its seat at one area before it does at another area rather than moving uniformly off its seat at all portions of its periphery. This non-uniform movement of the diaphgram can result in the metering rod binding in the aperture opening, particularly since the clearance between the rod and the diaphgram aperture is rather small, and result in the valve being stuck in the open position.
Thus, while the use of a metering rod avoids the problems noted above with regard to the rapidity of the closing of the valve and the clogging of the diaphgram aperture, it will be seen that it nonetheless presents the additional problem of binding which can cause the valve to malfunction in the open position.
In a flow control valve in accordance with the present invention, the metering rod is mounted for non-axial movement in response to non-uniform movement of the diaphragm off its valve seat so that the metering rod can remain essentially aligned with the axis of the diaphgram aperture and binding and subsequent malfunction of the valve is avoided.
Thus, in accordance with the present invention the metering rod is mounted within an opening formed in an inner end of a flow adjustment stem which extends into the pressure chamber above the diaphgram.
A pin is mounted in the end of the flow adjustment stem, and an opening on the end of a metering rod, which can be formed simply by looping the end of the rod, receives the pin loosely to permit movement of the metering rod about its one end secured to the flow adjustment stem.
While the metering rod can be formed with a circular cross section, certain benefits may be obtained by forming the rod with a non-circular cross sectional configuration, such as a square cross section. With a square cross sectioned rod improved cleaning of the diaphgram aperture is obtained as the diaphgram moves along the rod between the open and closed positions of the valve.
Additionally, the inner end of the flow adjustment stem carrying the metering rod can be provided with a bleed port to release pressure and prevent the diaphgram from becoming fixed in the open position. Thus, if the diaphgram were to contact squarely the inner end of the flow adjustment stem, it might become fixed in this position. The bleed port prevents this.
FIG. 1 is a cross sectional elevational view showing a flow control valve in accordance with the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a partial cross sectional elevational view showing the valve in the open position and the flow adjustment stem moved from the position shown in FIG. 1;
FIGS. 3 and 4 are enlarged views of a portion of the flow control valve showing the metering rod moved from the position shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings to accommodate non-uniform movement of the diaphragm; and
FIG. 5 is a perspective view of a modified form of metering rod.
The valve 10 as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 of the drawings includes a body portion 12 and a cover 14 secured to the body portion in any convenient manner, such as by bolts or the like. The body portion includes a flow path 16 having an inlet side 18 and an outlet 20 separated by a partition 22.
The cover 14 is positioned over a diaphragm 24 consisting of a central, disc shaped member 26 encapsulated around its edges in an elastomeric material 28 which has a circular configuration and is clamped adjacent its outer peripheral edge 30 between the cover 14 and body 12, with a diaphragm support ring 31 interposed between opposing portions of the body and diaphragm.
The cover 14 includes a threaded flow adjustment stem 32 threaded into a top portion of the cover for adjustment towards and away from the diaphragm 24. The inner end 34 of the flow adjustment stem serves as a stop for the diaphragm so that the amount of opening of the diaphragm can be adjusted as will be apparent from a comparison of FIGS. 1 and 2.
The inner end of the flow adjustment stem has an opening 36 formed therein and carries a cross pin 38 received in a loop 40 formed on the upper end of a metering rod 42 which extends through an aperture 44 formed through the center of the diaphragm 24. It will also be noted from FIG. 1 of the drawings that a pressure relief port 46 is formed in the end of the flow adjustment stem communicating with the hollow portion 36 of the inner end of the stem.
A spring 48 biases the diaphragm to the seated position shown in FIG. 1 so that the diaphragm together with opposing portions of the cover 14 defines a pressure chamber 50 separated from the flow path 16 by the diaphragm 24. A passageway 52 extends angularly upwardly from the pressure chamber and communicates at its upper end with a second, stepped passageway 54 which communicates at its lower end 56 with the outlet end 20 of the flow path through the valve body.
A solenoid actuated valve 58 is spring biased to the closed position shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings, separating passage 52 from passage 54. It will also be noted that a manual control valve 60 is mounted in the cover 14 and in the closed position shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings separates an inner passageway 62 from an outer passageway 64.
With the above construction it will be seen that with the valve in the closed position shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings and fluid under pressure present in the upstream end of the flow path, fluid pressure will be transmitted through the aperture 44 to the pressure chamber 50. Because the area of the diaphragm in the pressure chamber is greater than area of the diaphragm exposed to the flow path, the diaphragm will remain seated in a closed position with respect to the flow path.
However, when the solenoid actuated valve 58 is energized, moving the solenoid actuated valve to the position shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings, the pressure in the pressure chamber 50 is relieved through the passageways 52 and 54, allowing the line pressure to raise the diaphgram to the open position shown in FIG. 2 of the drawings.
Where the flow adjustment stem is moved inwardly into the valve so that there are very small clearances between the open and closed position of the diaphragm it is possible that the upper portion of the valve which abutts the inner end of the flow adjustment stem in the open position might stick in the open position by adhering to the inner end of the flow adjustment stem. To avoid the possibility of this occuring the bleed port 46 is formed which automatically relieves pressure in the hollow end 36 of the flow adjustment stem.
As the diaphragm moves from its closed to open position its movement may be non-uniform, that is, it may lift from its seat adjacent one area before it does at another area so that the diaphragm is cocked with respect to its seat. This is shown in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the drawings where by way of example the diaphragm is shown as cocked in two different positions, although it will be apparent that it may assume any number of positions.
Regardless of this, the mounting of the metering rod allows the metering rod to move non-axially about one end thereof to accommodate the non-uniform movement of the diaphragm, thereby preventing binding of the metering rod within the aperture 46 in the diaphragm, while still allowing the metering rod to function to meter the flow through the aperture 44 and maintain the aperture free of corrosion and foreign particles through the relative movement of the rod 42 and the walls of the aperture 44.
In this regard, as shown in FIG. 5 of the drawings, improved cleaning action may be obtained by forming at least that portion of the rod within the aperture 44 of non-circular cross sectional configuration. Thus as seen in FIG. 5, the modified metering rod 70 is of square cross sectional configuration although it will be apparent that other non-circular configurations can be used for this purpose.
From the above it will be apparent that the present invention provides an improved flow control valve in which binding of the valve metering rod within the diaphragm is avoided despite non-uniform movement of the valve diaphragm between its open and closed positions.
While the forms of apparatus herein described constitute preferred embodiments of the invention, it is to be understood that the invention is not limited to these precise forms of apparatus, and that changes may be made therein without departing from the scope of the invention.

/// South Korea Court Says Samsung, Apple Infringed Each Other's Patents
August 24, 2012 | All Things Digital
A South Korea court on Friday delivered a split decision in its piece of the global legal battle between Apple and Samsung Electronics over mobile computing patents. A three-judge panel in Seoul Central District Court said Apple infringed two Samsung technology patents, while Samsung violated one of Apple's patents. The court awarded small damages to both companies and said they must halt sales of the infringing products in South Korea. None of the banned products are the latest models of Samsung or Apple devices. Read the rest of this post on the original site »

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
Hello, plod dudes!
I'm back, baby!!
I've just been looking through my old posts and my first r*n was May 2006...I didn't manage very long before life did that wonderful thing of flipping me upside down and shaking me until I give up. I'm embarrassed to admit the Saucony Grid Omni 5 I bought SEVEN years ago still have that new trainer smell! (I did use them, honestly!) But now a lot of things in my life have been sorted (still plenty more to sort, ugh), so I'm back and raring to go.
Yowser, it looks like all sorts of things have changed on this forum. Do we still say plod dudes? Do we still bleep r*n? I'm confused and scared...ooh, look the training tab is still there *scurries off to check it out* Glad the useful articles are still here
I'm glad to say that this time round I have a running partner who is equally enthused as I am. We're going out for our first run tonight, so if I can drag myself back to my house afterwards then I might be able to muster up enough energy and knock the keyboard to the floor so I can update you guys on how it went with my last scraps of life.
But for now, for those who don't know me (and those that did – since it's been seven years):
My name is Steven; I'm 28, and live in Leeds. I'm a Structural Engineer by day and a horror writer by night. My dog, Taz, who some of you may remember, is still alive and kicking and keeps me fit enough to consider running full time by dragging me around the woods for hours.
I'm bored of always being tired, lethargic, sleepy, unmotivated, in bed, feeling like crap, so I want to try again with this whole r*nning "nonsense"
Bring it on! Raaarrggghhh!!
Bored Robots
How did it go then ? Same boat as you really run 10 Londons last one about 7 years ago then the wheels just fell off.
Trying to make a comeback now for same reasons as you
Had to stay quite late at work so I never made it! (I know...excuses, excuses).
BUT...I did manage one today Me and the other half went out for about 30 mins. Run, walk, run, walk, wheeze, stitch.
I think I did quite well but the stitch really did me in. It was annoying that I could have run more apart from that bloody stitch! My legs and back (bad back usually) felt fine and I wanted to make the running sections longer.
Ah well, there's plenty of time for improvement!

By Aron Heller, Associated Press Writer
JERUSALEM Israel's former President Moshe Katsav called off a plea bargain Tuesday that would have required him to admit sexual misconduct to avoid jail time, a surprise turnaround in a sordid saga that has captivated Israelis for nearly two years.
Katsav appeared in a Jerusalem court and unexpectedly said he was rejecting the deal because he wants to clear his name.
The move was a gamble: under the plea deal, which Katsav had previously accepted, prosecutors would have dropped the most serious charges against him and Katsav would have avoided jail time.
Katsav stepped down in late June after four female former employees accused him of a series of sex crimes, including rape, sexual assault and sexual harassment.
Katsav, 62, walked into the court alongside his wife Gila on Tuesday for a hearing that was ostensibly meant to approve the prearranged plea bargain. But he told the judges he was rejecting the deal -- and risking possible prison time -- in the hope that a trial would clear his name.
"Moshe Katsav made a moral decision," said Avigdor Feldman, one of Katsav's lawyers. "He is aware of all its implications."
The largely ceremonial post of president is seen in Israel as the nation's moral compass. Katsav was replaced by elder statesman and Nobel peace laureate Shimon Peres.
Claims that Katsav used his position as Israel's head of state to force himself on women were the most serious allegations ever brought against an Israeli leader.
Katsav resigned two weeks before his seven-year term was to expire as part of the much-criticized plea bargain that dropped planned rape charges and other sex charges -- counts that could have landed him in prison for 20 years.
Civil right and women's right's groups staged large rallies to protest the deal, in which he would have pleaded guilty to indecent acts, sexual harassment and obstruction of justice. He would have received a suspended prison sentence and been required to pay damages to two of his four accusers.
But the deal would also have required the former president to plead guilty in open court. Katsav has denied any wrongdoing and claimed he was a victim of a political conspiracy.
Feldman said the ex-president changed his mind after he was convinced by his legal team that the prosecution did not have enough evidence to convict him.
"We believe that Moshe Katsav, based on the evidence, is innocent, even under this minor indictment that was the basis for the plea bargain," he said. "He told me time and time again: 'I am innocent. Why do I have to admit to a plea bargain that includes crimes I did not commit?'"
Attorney General Meni Mazuz will now have to decide whether to press another indictment against the former president.

The Takeaway
Do Electric Cars Spell Cash Or Calamity for Utility Companies?
New "current cruisers," the first mass-marketed plug-in electric cars, will hit the market next month. For utility companies, their arrival is cause for both excitement and anxiety. Plugged into a socket, the Nissan Leafs and Chevrolet Volts can draw as much energy from the grid as a small house. Will the early adopters – and their neighborhoods – wind up in the dark?
Mark Duvall, director of Electric Transportation for the non-profit Electric Power Research Institute explains how utility companies are preparing the grid for the new vehicles. Also joining us is Kent Larson, director of the Changing Places Research Group at the MIT Media Lab, who talks about the future of the electric car as part of a changing urban transportation ecosystem.

Matt Smith, selected by the New York Yankees in the 4th round of the 2000 draft, has progressed nicely in this, his seventh season, and is poised to be a consistent contributor in the Yankee bullpen. Splitting time between Trenton and Columbus, Smith posted a 2.73 ERA in 82.1 IP, limiting left handed hitters to a .163 batting average (15-92) in 2005.
Many thoughts can go through a player's mind when being sent to the minors after playing in the major leagues for an extended period of time. Smith gives the impression that his Triple-A assignment to Columbus is more of an opportunity than anything else. He believes refining his game could land him in New York a lot longer than his previous 17-day span.
Smith told PinstripesPlus.com, "The biggest thing I'm working on is my slider. I don't think it's really as good as it could be. I think what I just need to do is get more innings, more outings and become more comfortable."
Smith is the type of pitcher who possesses the ability to fill the role of both a left-handed specialist as well as a full-fledged setup man. As dominant as he has been facing left-handed hitters, a constant focus on them may be the best scenario as success in the major leagues is the same no matter how many batters in a game, or even an inning, he may face.
Smith reiterates that he will follow all orders in order to help the club. With a Yankee bullpen that has struggled at times to bridge the gap to closer Mariano Rivera, he may find himself back in the mix in New York.
When you're a pitcher working your way up from the minor leagues, staying sharp is a key ingredient when hoping to stay afloat a big leagues roster. Smith highlights the fact that he must be ready to pitch at all times because when you're in middle relief, there will be instances when you pitch on back to back days and other occurrences where it may be a week in between appearances.
"I remember my first two outings were two days apart and then my next outing was about nine or ten and that was a little bit different to get used to," said Smith.
The struggle to adapt to the Major League atmosphere has haunted many minor league pitchers in the past. There are numerous lessons that can be learned for a pitcher such as Smith by just being around the big league ball club.
"I had a lot of opportunities to just hang out with guys. I've basically learned how to be a professional and deal with the other aspects such as the media and the fans. It's something you really can't prepare for and it's something you just have to go through," said Smith.
Ron Villone and Randy Myers are two relievers that have had a significant impact on Smith, both being fellow southpaws. They gel into the same type of niche within the Yankee pitching staff that Smith may very well soon be accustomed to again.
Clippers pitching coach Neil Allen believes Smith is right where he needs to and as long as he keeps recording outs, may be receiving a phone call from the Bronx very shortly. The recent demotion to Columbus may very well have been a result of a lack of innings during his time with the Yankees.
"He (Smith) only got two innings in 17 days and he kind of lost his release point and wasn't as sharp. Now, the last couple outings he's staring to look like the old Matt. He's throwing his slider for strikes and he's staying back good," said Allen.
Smith realizes that his performances in Columbus will be what determine an additional promotion to New York. With big league experience already under his belt, a shift to the majors may not be nearly as tough after all he has learned with his first go around.
"I think once you start looking at the bigger picture, it gets you into trouble. The only thing I can control is what I do here. The biggest thing is to stay sharp. It's a long year and I'm just happy to be where I'm at," said Smith.
It would not be shocking to see a pitcher like Smith become a positive contributor to the Yankee bullpen by season's end. With what Aaron Small and Chien-Ming Wang brought to the staff in 2005, Smith has a chance to provide quite an encore as the season progresses in 2006.

Francis Brennan is taking 12 paying tourists from all over Ireland on the surprise trip of a lifetime. They have no idea where they're heading, it's only when they meet up with Francis in Dublin Airport that they'll discover their destination.
In tonight's programme the 12 tourists meet each other, and Francis, for the very first time. And their mystery destination is revealed - India!
Francis has organised an epic 10-day journey of India's 'Golden Triangle' taking in Delhi, Agra and Jaipur. It's going to be quite a journey - how will Francis's 12 guests cope with the heat, food and culture shock?
Francis will have his work cut out to keep his tourists happy - before they leave hairdresser David Martin from Co Wicklow admits: "India wouldn't be somewhere I'd like to visit ...". Meanwhile, B&B owner Josephine Walsh from Bantry phones her family from the airport, proclaiming: "India? India? You'd never book a holiday to India!".
Francis's Grand Indian Tour kicks off in the capital city, Delhi, where he's arranged an exhilarating rickshaw ride along the thronged city streets and through the hectic Chandni Chowk market. The 300-year-old market is one of Delhi's busiest spots and the surrounding roads notoriously chaotic - Francis's guests are quickly immersed in the real sights and sounds of the city.
In this programme the group also visit India's most potent symbol of nationhood, Raj Ghat, a memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. For Garda Edel Corcoran from Co Dublin, who signs off all her emails with a Gandhi quote, it's a moving and memorable experience.
Francis Brennan's Grand Indian Tour is underway...
Before leaving Delhi, Francis takes the group on a street tour with the Salaam Baalak Trust. The charity helps provide a safe and caring environment for Delhi's street children. To raise funds they take tourists on walking tours through the back streets of the old city. The trip is an eye opener and many in the group are moved when they meet some of the young people for whom the Trust has been life changing.
Financial Advisor Sean O'Mahony from Co Cork admits: "I'm going to go home a changed person". Pre-school teacher Kathleen Macdonald from Co Dublin admits being taken aback by the poverty, saying: "I didn't think it would be as poor . it was quite shocking".
Later the group is on the move and Delhi is left behind as they take a 4 hour coach journey to Agra, home of the world famous monument to love, the Taj Mahal.
But first stop is the impressive Agra Fort. Agra was once the capital city of the Mughal Emperors, who ruled India from the 16th to 19th century. However, not all of Francis's group are impressed by a trip to a fort. Surely the next port of call, the majestic Taj Mahal, won't disappoint!
One of the world's most famous buildings, the Taj Mahal attracts over 8 million visitors a year. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan as a monument to love following the death of his beloved wife.
The monument visit evokes deep emotion from the tourists. Eddie McDaid from Donegal has thrown himself into work since the death of his wife Christine, but now says that he will return home and make some big changes; "I'm going to retire and have a life". Cancer survivor Deirdre McDonagh from Co Dublin said; "The fact that I am alive and here is great". The Taj Mahal is rightly one of the highlights of Francis Brennan's Grand Indian Tour.
Francis is keen for his travellers to experience all that India has to offer and has arranged a 6am Yoga class, but the group struggles to keep up and ends up in a fit of giggles. Hairdresser David Martin from Co Wicklow couldn't keep it together, "I was falling over and the giggles set in - then everyone's laughing".
Next on Francis' itinerary is a visit to the abandoned city of Fatehpur Sikri, where the group falls victim to the soaring midday heat. Until it was abandoned in 1585, Fatehpur Sikri was the capital of the great Mughal Empire, but not everyone in the group is that impressed. Financial Advisor Sean O'Mahony from Co Cork admits, "Once you've seen one fort, you've seen them all".
It's clear that Francis has his work cut out for him, the group is a hard bunch to please as not everybody is impressed with the accommodation for the evening. Francis has chosen something a little different for his guests' stay in Jaipur - a traditional Indian hotel known as a Haveli - which is smaller, and less modern; and Garda Nollaig Mc Andrew from Co Mayo is not impressed with the hotel's level of security, "Never had a padlock as a key before".
The next day the group visits Jaipur's top tourist attraction, the ornate 16th century palace - Amber Fort! Francis has arranged for the group to take an elephant ride up to the palace.
Hairdressing husbands David Martin and Andrew Mc Kenna from Co Wicklow struggled with the elephant ride. Andrew explains "We were veering towards the drop an we had our first domestic on top of the elephant", as David admits he is terrified of heights, at one stage he thought he was going to fall off and die!
Thankfully there were no casualties apart from Francis Brennan himself. After a long day, things have got too much for Francis, "And I'm as tough as old boots. I suppose the Delhi Belly just got me. Please God I'll be fine tomorrow". Here's hoping he'll be well enough for the rest of tour!

Congress has already approved $55 billion in emergency spending for reconstruction and businesses. ■ Transportation Secretary Norman Y. Mineta orders airlines to strengthen cockpit doors within 30 days. Several, including United and American, already have begun the work. By Pauline Jelinek Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON — Administration and European officials are signaling that a major military action might not come anytime soon, even as U.S. troops, warplanes and ships gather in the Gulf region. Meanwhile, Taliban soldiers were reported Friday to be taking heavy weapons into the mountains of Afghanistan to await an assault. There were growing signs that the coalition the United States is assembling for the anti-terrorism campaign is still struggling to decide exactly what to do. Some have even raised the possibility that the campaign can be waged with little or no fighting — without the kind of military fireworks that Americans may expect. "It will take time," Secretary of Defense Donald H. Rumsfeld said at a press conference in Turkey. "And we need the cooperation of countries around the globe." Rumsfeld met with Turkish officials in his last stop on a five-nation tour to build support for the campaign in the Middle East and Central Asia. Earlier Friday, officials said 1,000 solidiers from the Army's 10th Mountain Division departed from Fort Drum, N.Y., en route to Uzbekistan to See TROOPS/3A Witness says she saw Davis before murder By Ron Maloney Staff Writer JOHNSON CITY — A woman testified Friday that Jack Warren Davis tried to pick her up in a New Braunfels bar while his wife was in the hospital — some two hours before he allegedly killed Kathie Balonis. Pamela Bennett, a New Braunfels secretary who was a friend of Jack Davis and his wife Pat, said she played darts with Davis at a local bar the night of Nov. 17, 1989. While they were playing darts at Kings and Queens, Bennett said Davis seemed "down in the dumps" or "lonesome." "I asked him where Pat was, because it was unusual for them to not be together," Bennett said "I could tell that something wasn't right." 'file pair discussed problems Davis said he was having with his wife. He told Bennett she had left him and gone home to Mississippi, and that he probably would go there himself in a couple of weeks. Under questioning by prosecuting attorney Lisa Tanner, Bennett said Davis talked with her for more than an hour while she waited for her boyfriend to arrive. "He wanted me to leave with him and go to another place, because he didn't want everyone in the bar to hear what we were talking about," Bennett said. She turned him down, but he persisted, she said. "At some point, did the conversation change?" Tanner asked. Bennett replied that it had. "Was he making moves on me? It felt that way," Barrett answered. "He told me I was a nice person, very pretty, he'd always liked me, that sort of stuff.'' Barrett was made very uncomfortable by the whole thing, she said. She finally agreed to meet him Sunday. "Did you intend to meet him?" "No," Barrett answered. "Why did you tell him that?" "TI) get rid of him." Barrett walked Davis out to his car and he left, she said, finder cross-examination, she said Davis wasn't ■ forceful or angry. "He was always ' a good person. He was polite," she said. Police reported DAVIS that when they reconstructed Davis' movements that night, he hadn't admitted going to Kings and Queens although he'd acknowledged visiting luanda Station, where he worked part time as a maintenance man and bar back. Earlier that week, Davis had told his part-time employer, April Brown, night manager at Lauda Station, that he would bt' unable to work that night because his wife was in the hospital, and he would be going to San Antonio to pick her up. Brown testified that she was surprised when he showed up at the bar — as a customer. She served him between four and six 12-ounce glasses of wine, she said, and a waitress served him as well. He left there at about 8 p.m. and returni'd briefly at 9 p.m. before leaving again, she said. The prosecutor asked Brown how Davis was dressed, and she supported what other witnesses had said — jeans, vest and light-colored shirt. See MURDER/4A ll ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ f Art inspiring life Custodian's mural shows students how books can stir imagination By Joni Simon Staff Writer He's as handy with a brush as he is with a broom. A newly painted mural in the Frazier Elementary School library is the work of Head Custodian Sipriano Valdez, 39. Valdez, who has been commissioned to paint murals for businesses, nurseries and day cares, said this project was the closest to his heart. "I really enjoyed doing this one. When I was a kid, I had a hard time reading. This encourages kids to read," the New Braunfels native said. Valdez said he would never forget the first day he began the project. It was Sept. ll."Art is my passion, and I just wanted to share my talent with others. "— Sipriano Valdez Frazier Elementary head custodian "I started it that day, then it took two hours every day for a week," he said. A district employee for the past six years, Valdez designed and painted the mural of two children holding a book. "She (librarian Betty Jones) wanted a regular book showing the book cover, and I thought, 'That's just based on one book,'" he said. Valdez said he wanted the book to represent all books. "Let's just have kids reading, and it could be on everything — whatever your mind desires," he said. His vision encompassed the land before time when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the settling of the New World and the taming of the Wild West as well as the study of oceanography and space exploration — all the possibilities reading holds for young minds, from the past to the present. "Art is my passion, and I just K. JESSIE SLATEN/Herald-Zeitung Frazier Elementary head custodian Sipriano Valdez enjoys painting murals like the one he recently finished for Frazier's library. Originally, the teacher who asked Valdez to paint the mural suggested a cover from one book; however, after Valdez showed her a sketch, everyone agreed on the multifaceted mural (only part of which is shown). wanted to share my talent with others," Valdez said. The head custodian has been painting since he was 6 years old and is passing the torch to his two daughters, Vanessa, 6, and Valerie, I, who is cradling a paintbrush, rather than a rattle in her hand, as her father teaches her the first strokes of creating a masterpiece. Although he said he had difficulty as a child learning to read, reading is now one of his favorite pastimes. "I read how-to lxx)ks — how to do anything — woodworking, metal work and art," Valdez said. As for ait as a career, the head custodian said he tried it, but preferred the security of the job with the school district he attended as a st udent. "There aren't any benefits in (art). I wanted a dental plan and stuff like that," he said.

Google Chrome OS Netbooks Could Arrive This Year
Netbooks running Chrome OS, Google's newly announced operating system, may be available later this year, according to a report from Reuters, which quoted Google chief executive Eric Schmidt at the Allen & Co. media and technology conference in Sun Valley, Idaho, on 9 July.
"Everybody we've talked to under nondisclosure is excited about the plan," Schmidt told Reuters. "So hopefully later this year we'll see some announcements."
According to Reuters, Hewlett-Packard and Acer are working with Google to create devices running Chrome OS, which was designed to better exploit the Chrome browser and modern Web services, such as online applications.

From the main door, we march through a large hall that leads to a guest bathroom, living-room and kitchen; this last is equipped with Provençal styled furniture and with rustic ceramic walls and floors, concluding in a perfect harmony. The large south-oriented window provides spacious and a pleasant temperature in the living-room. To also standing out the resting area, separated from the rest of the house and divided into three double bedrooms and bathroom. Modern aluminum carpentry work with thermal and acoustic isolation has been used. As for the flooring, the parquet brings a sensation of warmth and comfort. At last, we mustn't forget it enjoys a heat pump and individual heating, with natural gas boiler.
Concepción neighborhood belongs to Ciudad Lineal District. Bounded with the bull ring in Ventas, it is an eminent cinematographic sector since the 50s. Although the proper neighborhood used to circumscribe to the old route of the Calero stream, with time, the lines have been expanding themselves, until they reached today's boarders from Pueblo Nuevo to Ciudad Lineal and from M-30 to the limit with Arturo Soria.
The area enjoys a good public transport service (El Carmen and Barrio de la Concepción). The accessibility is one of the main characteristics of the district. Thus, most of the population who live in Ciudad Lineal rely on educative and health centers, sports equipment and installations and green areas, less than 500 meters form their home. Among the green areas stands out Calero Park, as it represents an authentic lung for the neighborhood.

When one of your items sell in the Real auction house, that money then goes to your, paypal account(Or whatever other options there are for transfering money). That money then can be taken out from the card connected with that paypal account, correct?
If that is right then, I missread some details on the auction house.Like if you sell any items, it will go to your battlenet account and you can't take that money out.

From what I remember I thought it was the second, like you sell the items and they basically get money on your battle.net account and you can use that for stuff like WoW time or shopping in the blizzard store. I remember them mentioning something about paypal though.

Upon recieving the money you have to decide if they should transfer it to your Blizzard account(in form of credits) or to your paypal account.
Another reason i will refrain from buying until I get a Paladin class btw...
(Or Steam has the game on sale lol)

Surprisingly the RMT does not bother me at all. My thought process over the feature is that even if all hell breaks lose, the community is toxic, etc etc you can separate yourself from the cancer. It can be the worse feature of all time, but you do not have to play with it or the users. Perfect containment is probably impossible if you do not always play solo or with friends, but the choice to avoid the RMT is there.
So long as Blizzard allows players to create their own game sessions, I am not too worried. Now if this was an MMO or a game where you are forced into the same pool as everyone else then RMT could suck.

Interesting, because I thought I heard that little differently. I heard that you cannot buy items from a mode you have not completed/entered. As in, one cannot buy an item from Inferno mode if they are still in normal mode. Furthermore, I heard Hardcore items and non-Hardcore items are on separate RMTs.
I cannot remember my sources though, it has been too long. Perhaps it was speculation by Bashiok. Nonetheless, I am not at all worried about RMT, because even in the worse case scenario I can completely avoid it and its effect on the community.

I am fortunate enough to get into the beta, and in my opinion the game is way overhyped.
Sure, its still a good game and we are playing maybe 1/4 of Act 1, but I have many issues with the game: an outdated interface (D3 team needs to check out UI mods WoW players install), crappy bnet platform, etc. Gameplay wise, tbh I am not that big of a fan of running the same dungeon 100 times to farm for rares. Because D3 is D3, I am afraid it will just be a game based on how good your equipment is. How much "skill" do players really need in this game? (Knowledge of dungeon layout, mob property, etc are more important imo: and the beta does not clearly explain what a "frozen" mob does or how to avoid their effects to those who did not spend a long time playing d2 like some of us).
Graphics look a little dated, a bit too cartoonish imo.
While beta is only the start: I feel the story is not too captivating. I am a (insert class) who just somehow, for no reason, seek the fallen star (what is it?). I asked, why am I doing this? What am I going to get out of this? Do i really care about rescuing some old man who was left behind in the ruins?
Recent games such as WoW, Skyrim, Kingdoms of Amalur, Witcher 2 have pushed my standard of excellence to the next level (content/story, combat, graphics, etc). So far in beta D3 has left me feeling disappointed.
Sure, I will most likely replay the game FOUR times (normal, nightmare, hell, inferno): but after that I do not think I will be in the mood to go loot farming.

How do you guys think Starcraft players felt lol? 10 years. When they finally announced Sc2, I think it was 3 years of waiting. Blizzard always take a long ass time.
I am not sure I'll buy D3 at release since my computer sucks, but it is always a fun game to return to after a break with other games. Diablo always had that casual approach. I am also tempted just to wait for an xpac since it will fleshed out and hopefully they will add necromancer in again(yes I am that pathetic).
I like where they are going with Diablo 3 in general, but I am not sure any the classes aside from Demon Hunter really grabbed me. Then again, in D2 I only played necromancer and could care less about the other classes. I do not know how people played Barbarian or other classes that were littered with passive % skills.

I don't follow the news day by day, so my hyping meter is still the same as before, although it does drop a bit lately.
The main fun of this game, imo, is to play with friends. I didn't play D2 that much until I joined my friends later.

Starcraft 2 is fairly different because of the genre. ORPG is too overpopulated (after FPS).
There hasn't been a decent major RTS for a long time (since AoE2 tbh lol...). It didn't have much competition. I played Age of Mythology and a civilization to endure through the wait for SC2. And there isn't really an RTS alternative.
D3 was behind in game design since it's public announcement. The first time the site went up, I thought the game looked already way behind, maybe if you don't play Asian games then I guess it's alright?
For me D3 is out of my wish list. Unless it's less than $20. GW2 -> Blade&Soul (maybe, the character design is rather discouraging) -> C9 for my ORPG list =/
Any co-op/LAN/Multiplayer is fun with friends, so that's not really a bonus at all. I haven't seen a game with original classes since ragnarok or action since vindictus.
If D3 reverted back to D1 fog-of-war dungeon crawl, it might convince me to return for retro/nostalgia sake. But after confirming my opinions from the closed beta, D3 is like a hipster that just came out of a comatose.
If you're hyped up about D3, don't take my post too seriously. I'm just explaining why I'm not excited anymore. Not trying to tell others to not be excited.
