Patna, Aug 6 (UNI) Inspired from the Mughal emperor Jehangirs unique approach to listen to the problems of the commoners, a senior police officer in Bihar had installed a bell popularly known as ''Jehangiri Ghanti'' to hear out the fariyadis (appellants).
Deputy Inspector General (DIG), Tirhut range, Arvind Pandey took a cue from the Mughal emperors people friendly gesture and put a bell at the main gate of his official residence near Chakkar maidain in Muzaffarpur.
The DIG is available to the fariyadis round-the-clock to solve their problems.
A cop had also been deployed near the bell who takes the fariyadis directly to him, Mr Pandey said, adding he personally looks into each and every complaint.
Strengthening further the ''sushashan- good governence'' promises of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Mr Pandey asserts that the fariyadis are free to use the bell for the redressal of their grievances.
Emperor Jehangir had put a giant bell near Diwan-e-Aam in the walled city-Delhi, during his rule and on hearing the sound of the bell he used to listen to the fariyadis personally for the solution of their problems.

Soft-Shell Crabs with Sliced Sweet Onion
These in-season crabs need a quick buttermilk brine before being coated in a super-crisp coating of seasoned cornmeal and flour and fried to perfection. Serve them on a bed of sweet-onion salad.
- Servings: 4
Source: Martha Stewart Living, March 2007
- 1/2 cup low-fat buttermilk
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 cup stone-ground white cornmeal
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 soft-shell crabs, cleaned
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 medium Vidalia onion, very thinly sliced, for serving
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus wedges for serving
- 2 tablespoons coarsely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, plus sprigs for garnish
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Whisk together buttermilk, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a shallow dish; set aside. Whisk together cornmeal, flour, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in another shallow dish.
Working in batches if necessary, place crabs in egg mixture, and turn to coat. Let stand 5 minutes. Lift out, allowing excess to drip off. Transfer to cornmeal mixture; turn to coat. Tap off excess, and transfer to a rimmed baking sheet.
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if necessary, add crabs; cook, flipping once, until crisp, golden brown, and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer crabs to a baking sheet lined with paper towels to drain. Place in oven to keep warm while making sauce.
Divide onion slices among plates; set aside. Pour off oil from the skillet; wipe clean. Add butter; melt over medium-low heat. Stir in lemon juice, chopped parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Drizzle onion slices generously with lemon sauce, and top with crabs. Pour remaining sauce over crabs. Serve with lemon wedges. Garnish with parsley sprigs.

the agile practices it enunciates. The next section presents the third component of the 5 Levels of Agility - the agile practices.
Agile Practices
Agilepractices are concrete activities and practical techniques that are used to develop and manage software projects in a manner consistent with the agile principles. For example, paired programming , user stories, and collaborative planning are all agile practices. Since the agile levels are composed of agile practices (organized along the line of agile principles - see Figure 2), they are considered the basic building block of the SAMI. The attainment of an agile level is achieved only when the agile practices associated with it are adopted.
After surveying the agile methods currently used in the industry, forty distinct agile practices were selected to populate the SAMI. These practices, arranged along the lines of the agile levels and principles are illustrated in Table 1.
A set of indicators, or questions, must accompany eachagile practice or concept in the measurement index. The agile coach uses these indicators (or questions) to measure the extent to which the organization is ready to adopt an agile practice or concept. Each indicator is designed to measure a particular organizational characteristic necessary for the successful adoption of the agile practice the indicator is related to. Depending on the question, a manager, developer, or the agile coach is designated to answer it, either subjectively or objectively.
For example, assume the coach wants to determine the extent to which the organization is ready to adopt coding standards (Level 1, Technical Excellence). In this respect, two organizational characteristics that need to be assessed are: (1) to what extent do the developers understand the benefits behind coding standards, and (2) how willing are they to conform to coding standards. Several indicators (or questions) are used to assess each of these characteristics. For example, to assess the second (willingness), the assessor might ask the developers to what extent would they abide by coding standards even when under a time constraint.
The SAMI contains approximately 300 different readiness indicators for the 40 agile practices. The SAMI shown in Table 1 is one instance of the agile measurement index. Can there, however, be alternate instances? Yes, the next section discusses briefly the tailorability of the SAMI.
Tailorability of the SAMI
The SAMI, along with all its levels, practices and indicators, was presented to members of the agile community during the end of 2006. The agile coaches and consultants: AlistairCockburn [1], Mike Cohn [2], Bill Wake [3], and Sanjiv Augustine [4], and others, suggested a reorganization of the agile practices based on experiential successes. For example, Cohn has suggested that user stories be introduced in the first level of agility, because, from his experience, they enhance collaboration and communication between the stakeholders with regard to requirements.
Others suggested that pair programming be in the first level because it helps to establish collaboration within teams. This inability to reach a consensus on the position of agile practice emphasizes an important factor in providing guidance in an agile adoption effort: the adherence to agile principles when establishing the levels is paramount, not the positions of the actual practices within the model.
The intention behind the levels of agility is to provide a framework to guide the adoption process, not to dictate it. We actually encourage coaches to revisit the positions of the practices after each adoption effort to tune them according to their teams' experiences. After all, agile development promotes learning, reflecting, and tuning the process to reflect what actually works; agile

Hollins Named to All-Tournament Team
Jan. 2, 2013
CINCINNATI- Junior Dayeesha Hollins (Cincinnati, Ohio/Winton Woods/Michigan) was named to the 2012 Bank of Hawai'i Rainbow Wahine Invitational All-Tournament Team.
Hollins was one of six student-athletes to earn honors following the three-day tournament. The awards consisted of one most valuable player selection and five all-tournament selections. MVP honors went to Shafontaye Myers of Alabama. Joining Hollins in earning all-tournament honors were Monica DeAngelis (Hawai'i), Cleandra Roberts (LIU Brooklyn), Alicia Mitchum (Alabama) and Kamilah Martin (Hawai'i).
Hollins averaged 15.3 points and 4.3 rebounds during the three games. The junior was 21-of-28 from the free throw line and 3-of-9 from long range. She added five assists and two steals. She finished one-point shy of her season-high scoring total with 24 points against Hawai'i.
The highlight of Hollins' weekend came when she hit a lay-up as time expired to force overtime against Hawai'i. UC was trailing by two points with 0.5 seconds on the clock before Hollins' heroic shot followed a full-court heave from Alexis Durley (Houston, Texas/Andy Dekaney). The score capped a comeback effort that saw the Bearcats erase a 10-point deficit in the final 2:44 of the contest.
Hollins added nine points during the final 1:08 of the contest. She was 4-for-4 from the free throw line and hit a three with 22 seconds left before her game-tying shot.

Italian maestro: Alfa Romeo's Giulietta hatchback has been given a new face with tweaks to the lower grille, headlights and new bumper inserts.
26 February 2016
By TUNG NGUYEN
ALFA Romeo has offered a first look at its refreshed Giulietta hatchback ahead
of the Geneva motor show next week, revealing styling updates which echo its
full-sized Giulia sedan stablemate.
Expected to land in Australia in Q3 2016, the new Giulietta will arrive with
minimal exterior changes which include a revised front-end with honeycomb lower
grille, redesigned headlights, refreshed foglight housings and new bumper
inserts finished in piano black with red highlights on sportier variants.
New badges also adorn the facelifted Italian hatchback, with Alfa Romeo's
latest logo displayed on the front and rear, while a new font Giuilietta badge
sits on the rear bootlid.
Redesigned alloy wheels, new tail pipes and two new exterior colours, Alfa
White and Lipari Grey, round out the exterior styling tweaks to the small-car
which, according to Alfa, "emphasises the Giulietta's close genetic links with
the new Alfa Romeo Giulia sports saloon".
Styling parallels will be easy to draw when the Italian car-maker debuts its
tamer Giulia range next to the revised Giulietta at this year's Geneva motor
show. The Giulia sedan is expected in Australian showrooms in late 2016 and
will bolster Alfa Romeo's slimmed-down product line, representing the third
model for sale after the Giulietta hatchback and 4C sports coupe.
Inside the cabin, the fresh Giulietta receives new seat upholstery, a refreshed
dashboard and new door panel finishes to differentiate it from last year's
Overseas markets will also get the combination of 89kW 1.6-litre JTDM-2 turbo
diesel engine with Alfa's TCT twin dry-clutch transmission – a first for the
hatchback range.
However, Alfa Romeo does not offer any diesel engines in its local Giulietta
range, with Australian cars being powered by either a 1.4- or a 1.8-litre
turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine.
Pricing for the new model is not yet available, but Australia's current
Giulietta range opens at $29,000, before on-road costs, for the 88kW/215Nm
1.4-litre Progression and tops out at $42,000 for the spicy 177kW/340Nm
1.8-litre Quadrifoglio Verde (QV) hot hatch.
Sales for Alfa Romeo's Giulietta have been slow this year, with only 53
vehicles sold in January, down from the 58 units sold year on year.
In 2015, Alfa sold 1272 Giuliettas, a significant 43.9 per cent drop from 2014'
s 2268 units sold. In comparison, fellow European small hatchback competitors
Peugeot's 308 and Renault's Megane sold 1491 and 1426 units in 2015
At this stage it is unclear whether a fresh look will lift Giulietta sales, but
Fiat Chrylser Autombiles (FCA) Australia senior manager of corporate
communications Andrew Chesterton said the new vehicle is generating positive
local buzz.
"It is a truly stunning vehicle, we're very excited about it, we expect our
customers to be as well," he said.

Conservatives' "wild notion" to "topple" the Obama admin. resumes at Civil Rights Commission
Blog ››› ››› JEREMY HOLDEN
Abigail Thernstrom, the Republican vice chairwoman of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, has said that the commission's hearings into the Justice Department were part of the "fantasies" conservatives on the commission had to "topple" the Obama administration and their "wild notion they could bring Eric Holder down and really damage the president."
This "wild notion" resumed today with the testimony of Christopher Coates, a Justice Department attorney reportedly identified as "a true member of the team" in the highly politicized Bush Justice Department, who has donated to conservative candidates including President Bush.
Earlier this week, Coates agreed to testify before the conservative-dominated U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, which has been investigating the accusation aggressively promoted by right-wing activists deeply connected to the highly politicized Bush Justice Department that the Justice Department under Obama and Holder has "a hostility" toward enforcing voting-rights laws "on behalf of white victims for the benefit of national racial minorities."
The accusation that this is DOJ policy is in no way sustainable given the actual actions of the Justice Department.
UPDATE: During Coates' testimony, Thernstrom yielded the entirety of her time to Democratic Commissioner Michael Yaki, who has opposed the commission's inquiry.
UPDATE: During his testimony, Coates criticized "many of the civil rights groups" that he claimed often act as "special interest lobbies for racial and ethnic minorities."
Discussing his decision to transfer from the DOJ's Civil Rights Division to the U.S. attorney's office, Coates claimed:
If Senator McCain had won the election, and he had left me in, and his people had let me in as chief of the voting section, and there had been good relations between us, then I would have stayed on as chief of the voting section for a while longer.
Coates testified that in 2005 he recommended further investigation into alleged intimidation of black voters in Mississippi by state officials, but that Bradley Schlozman -- the Bush official who was found to have improperly politicized personnel decisions at the DOJ -- chose not to follow Coates' recommendation. That decision did not ignite a "scandal."

TopicsBoston Social Media Marketing Mobile Scoopr
The wild frontier of social media may look forbidding to some, but for the savvy and intrepid marketer it could prove the greatest untapped resource since Jed Clampett struck pay dirt.
At least that's what Boston entrepreneur Jeremy Smith is hoping for with Scoopr, a new brand-engagement product that offers an intriguing answer to the still mostly-unsolved problem of how to advertise on social media.
Scoopr is an app (currently an iOS exclusive but relaunching for all platforms in the coming months) that helps businesses run promotions that incentivize customers to generate and share their own branded photos.
Say you're an upmarket fast food chain that specializes in burgers and fries, with a reputation for great-tasting food made from high-quality, all-natural ingredients. Now, say you want to break into the fiercely competitive breakfast market. How do you spread the word that the great taste your customers expect from your burgers and fries can also be found in egg sandwiches and hash browns?
Scoopr lets you create an "assignment" for customers (e.g. "Have breakfast here, take a selfie with your egg sandwich, post it to Facebook/Twitter/Instagram"), including a reference photo to give participants a sense of how to compose the shot, and some sort of incentive, which can be anything from free food to cash. Assignments are issued via your social media feeds, and sometimes also in-store (for instance, a store manager might tell your customers about the promotion while they wait in line.)
Once a critical mass of users have posted the photos you assigned, you choose your favorite, post to your own social media feeds, and deliver a prize to the user who took it. All of that can be done within Scoopr, which bills you based on the number of social media shares the assignment generated.
With one simple flow, Scoopr creates value in multiple dimensions: it crowdsources branded content; it cuts advertising costs; it drives authentic (i.e. user-generated) social media engagement; it provides social-media-traffic data analytics; it re-energizes customer loyalty with incentives; it lets people win prizes.
And most importantly, says Smith, it captures "that genuine moment … when a social fan becomes an ambassador."
A business with a strong brand is selling not just a product but also a promise, he says. And in today's volatile brand-loyalty economy, it is incumbent upon brands to actually deliver on that promise. Miller is selling not just beer but the promise of "Miller Time," and "Miller Time" has to be something that actually happens to people. Consumers have to experience moments of realizing that "I just went to Miller Time," otherwise their brand loyalty will diminish, and they will abandon Miller for a better-branded alternative.
Scoopr's deepest driver is an impulse among consumers to capture and share those moments.
"[Users] feel like there's a return on investment, intrinsically and emotionally," says Smith. "It's that moment when they realized the brand promise." Scoopr gives them a rooftop to shout from – a platform on which to renew their loyalty to the brands that are meaningful to them by voicing their satisfaction to their followers.
"It gives consumers a genuine voice," says Smith. "And they feel like they have even more of a genuine voice when they're selected … It's like a person who sings in American Idol: They like to sing, they think they're pretty good. But when they realize that everyone knows they can sing, then they want to sing to the world."

So has anyone opened up a failing/failed pump to identify the "root" problem?
Been thinking that way all my life and many times a fix can last for years. But there are impediments in the way of many fixes.
Could be the brushes, or bearings wear out and bind, or pump seals fail. In this instance considerations are that when the factory assembles things they use special machines to crimp, press or whatever that are not available to us. Or sometimes housings can be sealed only once, but would fatigue to the point of breaking if used twice.
My opinion is this is an ambitious research project which would probably result in finding that the fix is more trouble and less reliable than it is worth. And you already know that we'd only be saving $120 for a new pump. And most only have to buy one in the life of their car.
And let's never forget working on a device that gets immersed in gasoline and produces internal sparks!

This comedy is set upon a remote Greek island and is very loosely based on Shakespeare's classic play. The tale centers on a middle-aged New York architect who abandons his wife and moves to the island with his teen-age daughter and his new lover, a Greek singer, in hopes of finding meaning in his life. The only resident of the island is an old hermit, and the father is finally happy until his wife, her lover, his son and others get in a shipwreck and end up marooned on the island with him. ~ Sandra Brennan, Rovi

Should you elect to return your vehicle at lease-end, you may be financially responsible for damage exceeding normal wear and use.
To help you avoid surprises, Lexus Financial Services offers a complimentary pre-inspection service allowing our customers to know the condition of their vehicle BEFORE lease-end.1
Pre-Inspection Benefits
What to Expect
Using Lexus Financial Services' Wear and Use Guidelines, highly-trained inspectors conduct a detailed assessment of your vehicle's condition. The findings of that assessment are then compiled into an itemized condition report available for download from lexusfinancial.com.
Inspections can occur at your home, office, local Lexus dealership or any other preferred location and take approximately 45 minutes to complete.
Whether this is your first or fifth lease, knowing the condition of your vehicle before lease-end allows you to make well-informed decisions and gives you time to make any desired repairs.
> Scheduling an Appointment
Approximately two months prior to lease-end, our independent vehicle inspection company, DataScan, will contact you to schedule a pre-inspection appointment.
You may also contact DataScan directly at
(855) 90-MY-LFS or visit DSFS.com to schedule
your pre-inspection appointment online.
We recommend scheduling the pre-inspection to take place 15-60 days prior to your scheduled lease-end date.
> At the Pre-Inspection Appointment
You will be met by the DataScan inspector at your scheduled appointment time and location.
To ensure the evaluation of your vehicle is as accurate as possible, you should bring the following items with you to your appointment:
• Tool kit and spare tire*
• All sets of keys (masters/remotes/valet)*
• Service records
• Owner's Manuals
• Any original equipment on your vehicle at lease
inception (radio, headrests, 3rd row seat, tonneau/cargo cover, etc.)
At the end of your inspection, you will receive a card containing instructions for how to access your vehicle's condition report online once it is available.
* If applicable
> Vehicle Condition Report
Within two business days of the inspection, your vehicle's condition report will be available online. You can view this report by logging into your account at lexusfinancial.com.
Your condition report contains an itemized assessment of any estimated normal or excess wear and use found on your vehicle. While the occasional scratch or scuff is to be expected, you may be charged for damages exceeding normal wear and use. We recommend reviewing the condition report with your local Lexus dealer as they can often help arrange cost-effective repairs.

Sat. June 4, 2011 | Eduardo A. Encina
TAMPA — After one of Jose Fernandez's three failed escapes from Cuba, he sat in a jail cell uncertain about the next 24 hours of his life.
After another, he was under house arrest, a handful of police officers stationed to watch his every move.
He couldn't go to high school. He couldn't play baseball. His friends deserted him — all at the age of 14.
"I was treated like a traitor," said Fernandez, shaking his head. "All because I wanted to live out my dream."
His fourth try — which went through Mexico, where his father was waiting — was successful, but not before he jumped into 8-foot gulf waves to save his mother, who had fallen overboard.
He landed at Alonso High School, a brash teenager who spoke no English. The only language connecting him to his teammates was his fire on the baseball diamond.
Three years later, Fernandez is on the verge of a dream come true. All signs point to the 6-foot-3, 225-pound right-handed pitcher with a fastball that nearly reaches triple digits being selected Monday in the first round of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft.
Baseball? When you're Fernandez, that's the easy part. The mound? That's where he's most comfortable.
"Everything I've been through has helped me a lot out on the field," Fernandez said Thursday while sitting at his West Tampa kitchen table. "I've been through so much stuff that when I do something wrong out there, it's not a big deal.
"Right now if they would let me, I would pitch in the pros today. I've been thrown a lot of stuff in my life. I have my mind strong."
• • •
In the spring of 2009, Fernandez was a virtual unknown. But in the final game of his sophomore season — the Class 6A state title game against Miami Columbus — he was buzzing 94 mph fastballs by hitters in the sixth inning.
"Sientate," he would yell to batters from the mound— sit down in Spanish. His performance led Alonso to its first state title. His talent was unquestioned, but he was still raw. Fernandez had escaped Cuba but Cuba hadn't escaped Fernandez.
"He's like a stallion you have to hold back," said Alonso pitching coach Pete Toledo. "Sometimes he would take off his hat when he hit a homer or he would talk back to opposing team. I'd have to tell him, 'We don't do that here.' But I've never seen a player with more fire and love of the game than Jose. And you don't want to take that away."
This season, Fernandez was 13-1 with a 1.35 ERA and 134 strikeouts in 93 innings. He tallied nine complete-game wins, including four shutouts. He was 5-0 in the postseason, leading Alonso to another 6A state title, throwing a complete game in the state semifinal while hitting the winning two-run homer in the seventh inning. In his prep, career he was 11-0 in the postseason and 30-3 overall.
Now there's no more yelling. When Fernandez rears back to throw his fastball, it's only accompanied by a cold stare.
"When he gives that stare, it's intimidating for a hitter," Alonso catcher Mike Fahrman said. "It's almost scary. I'm glad I'm the one catching it instead of trying to face it."
Fernandez has learned that sweat is sometimes more powerful than swagger. He's worked with former Cuban national team pitching coach Orlando Chinea, who has tutored major leaguers Rolando Arroyo and Orlando Hernandez. Chinea's training is intense. It includes medicine ball work, swim routines and even chopping down trees Paul Bunyan style.
"Before I knew him, I just thought he had the raw tools," said Jesuit junior pitcher Lance McCullers, a 2012 top draft prospect and workout partner of Fernandez. "But now looking from inside, I've never seen anyone work as hard as him. His will to get better is unbelievable. We push each other and when you get to the point when you think it's too much, he's still pushing you.
"If you know him, he's such an unselfish person. It's his work ethic that's got him to where here is. I think he's extremely grateful for what he's been through."
• • •
Fernandez nearly didn't get to play his senior season. The Florida High School Athletic Association, the state's governing body for prep sports, ruled that he had exhausted his four-year window to compete since he entered the ninth grade in Cuba. He needed to win a November appeal and show documentation that his arrests for fleeing Cuba prevented him from going to school.
Like most Cuban defectors, his true age is in question; Fernandez says he's 18. But when it comes to his talents, age won't matter to professional teams.
"Even if you were worried about age, he's not a projection kid," said Jim Callis, executive editor of Baseball America. "He's not a raw kid. He has a good feel for what he does. Even if you think he's older, and I'm not saying I think he is, with his size and his stuff, he's still an attractive package. You don't have to project him. He doesn't have to get stronger or progress."
Callis' most recent projections place Fernandez as the No. 20th overall prospect — and the Rays have an outside shot of drafting him — but predicting the baseball draft is an uncertain science. Callis said Fernandez could be selected anywhere from 15th to 40th. "As far as pitchers go, there's a clear top three," Callis said. "And after that, he's as good as anyone else."
Regardless, he could command a multi-million dollar signing bonus. Fernandez has signed with USF — and given his pro prospects, the likelihood of him playing there is slim — but Fernandez hasn't ruled it out.
"I have something very clear," Fernandez said. "If the draft doesn't treat me fair, I'm going to go to college. You never know what's going to happen in the draft. I know I'm going to play after high school or after college.
"I know I'm going to get there. It might not be sooner than later, but I'm going to get there."

text: Hi I was wondering what the 9th gen Civic drag coefficient was, and what exactly was done to the outside body to make it more aerodynamic. I read about the underbody panels, the hood and mirrors, but I wanted to know what they did with the back (trunk area). It seems as if they raised the back end to make the trunk tilt upwards. I also read about the 2005 toyota camry and it said that it had a drag coefficient of 0.28. It said on some site that the Civic's drag has been reduced by 9% compared to the 8th gen. Is this car more aerodynamic than the 2005 toyota camry or is it equal to it?

Boy, I didn't expect musings on the limits of 3G connectivity to continue for a third day on this blog, but that's the subject at the core of the latest controversy roiling the Apple world. The kerfuffle involves Slingbox, a gadget that's been around for a while and that will essentially redirect your television signal over the Internet to any device that can run a SlingPlayer. (Only one device at a time can access the signal from a given Slingbox, getting around copyright concerns.) The iPhone hasn't been on that list, until now -- but AT&T will only allow you to stream to your iPhone over Wi-Fi, not over cellular signal.
This has led to a wholly predictable round of outrage, much of which has involved the word "crippled," one of my very least favorite words in tech-related discourse. Generally, when someone calls a gadget or program "crippled," they mean "It doesn't have the features I want at the price I want to pay." I also have problems equating being unable to stream mobile video to your iPhone with, say, being unable to walk (call me a PC weenie if you will), but that issue aside, the complaints seem to have a fairly firm grounding in this case, as SlingPlayer on a number of AT&T-supported Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices can stream video over 3G.
Why, then, does AT&T persecute iPhone users? Well, AT&T has never allowed such streaming to computers that are connected to the Internet via 3G, and is now taking the somewhat absurd stance that an iPhone is a computer, as "smartphones like the iPhone to be personal computers in that they have the same hardware and software attributes as PCs." This doesn't make any sense on the surface -- obviously Windows Mobile and BlackBerry devices are smartphones too. But from the perspective of the companies that have to support their mobile bandwidth use, an iPhone is more like a PC than a mobile phone, in that its users treat it like a little Internet-capable computer that can make phone calls, rather than as a phone that can surf the Web. (Remember how those iPhone Internet usage stats were all out of proportion to the actual number of iPhones sold?)
This gets to the heart of the unlimited bandwidth paradox. The people who are technically capable of using unlimited bandwidth -- and who are therefore most attracted to it -- are the people who most terrify the very telecom companies that push the unlimited service plans. These discrete bits of news that have come out over the last few days have led me to the conclusion that AT&T was not expecting the iPhone to do as well as it's doing, or for its users to access the Internet radically more often than other smartphone users. As a result, they're getting kind of freaked out about their network capabilities, and a real crisis may be in the offing if they can't invest in their network infrastructure quickly enough. The dropped-call problems that arose when the iPhone 3G first came out were bad, but most people forgave them because it was the iPhone's data capabilities that really drew them to the gadget. If data connectivity starts to fail, then you'll see real outrage.

Drupal 8 Woes
I've spent the past few weeks trying to complete a project that would make this website better. Unfortunately, it looks like I will need to roll back to Drupal 7. The state of Drupal 8's contributed modules is poor. Very few of my favorite modules have been completely ported. So, lesson learned. Drupal 8 has been out for a very long time, it's disappointing to have to deal with this, while at the same time, being marketed to about how great Drupal 8 is.

Worried by the fallout of the remarks, a Shiv Sena spokesperson said that "the statements do not echo the sentiments of Bal Thackeray, Uddhav Thackeray and the Shiv Sena".
"It is his personal view. The party's stand on Hindutva is clear, and voiced by Uddhav (Thackeray) time and again," the spokesperson said.
Attempting to downplay Kadam's utterances, senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Gopinath Munde said here that Kadam intended that action would be taken against Pakistanis and Bangladeshis staying here and enrolled as voters.
Addressing the rally Monday as Modi arrived on the stage, Kadam, a former leader of opposition in the state assembly, said, "These Muslims rioted against police and burnt their vehicles".
"They vandalized the statues of martyrs, they molested policewomen... I am confident Narendra Modi will ensure that such acts are not left unpunished," he said, referring to the riots at Azad Maidan in 2012.
Continuing in a similar vein, Kadam also targeted Pakistan, linking it with the March 1993 Mumbai serial blasts.
"The lives of many Hindus were saved because of the Shiv Sena and its patriarch, Bal Thackeray. If Modi comes to power, he will destroy Pakistan in six months," Kadam said.

The Secret Law Behind NSA's Verizon Snooping
How, exactly, could the government order a Verizon division to provide records of all calls -- that's right, all -- to or from the U.S. on an ongoing basis? The answer is secrecy -- but not just in the way you think.
It's not only that the highly classified request was made to and approved by a highly classified court. But the legal interpretation of the 2001 Patriot Act that the court appears to have used was itself classified. In other words, there was no way for the public to know what the courts believed the law to mean. And that reality runs counter to the most basic principles of democracy and the rule of law.
In a democracy, the laws are and must be public. Our representatives pass them and our executive branch puts them into effect publicly -- and, ordinarily, the courts supervise both those processes in public as well. Limited exceptions are appropriate when the government is getting a warrant, so that the target of an investigation doesn't have advance warning. But in criminal cases, at least, the target will be able to challenge the legality of the warrant later, when he is charged.
National security cases are more complicated. Often there will never be a trial, so no public challenge to legality is likely. That leaves it to telecommunications providers like Verizon to bring challenges. This isn't perfect -- corporate interests are different from individual ones -- but it is better than nothing. And, in principle, it shouldn't be deeply troubling when a specially cleared court considers whether a secret government request complies with the law.
What happened in this case is different -- and much more threatening to democratic values. Section 215 of the Patriot Act says the government can order turnover of "any tangible things" for an investigation to protect against international terrorism or clandestine spying, provided only that the activities under investigation aren't solely protected by the First Amendment. Read narrowly, this language might require that information requested be shown to be important or necessary to the investigation. Read widely, it would include essentially anything even slightly relevant -- which is to say, everything. Like metadata for every call every day and every second in the U.S.
When the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act court granted the order here -- and there must surely be similar orders for all the other telecom carriers -- it appears to have applied the broadest possible reading of the law. That reading might be correct. But the problem is that we had no way of knowing it was even in effect.
A law only exists as it is interpreted by the courts. In fact, as Oliver Wendell Holmes famously put it, you could define law as nothing other than a prediction of what the courts will do. So when courts interpret the law, they are in practical effect making the law by saying what the law is.
That is why legal interpretation needs to be public -- because it has the same effect as lawmaking. When it is secret, we have in effect secret law. And secret laws don't belong in democratic systems. Countries that have them don't even have the rule of law. They have rule by law, which is a very different thing, when the law isn't supervised by the people but is rather used to manage and control them.
The trend of secret legal interpretations goes back to the George W. Bush administration's secret torture and wiretapping memos, which advanced outrageous constitutional and statutory claims. It extends through the secret memo from Barack Obama's legal team authorizing drone strikes to kill U.S. citizens based on executive branch "due process." The Verizon example involves a court, but it belongs to this tradition.
We should recognize that while facts may be kept secret and the application of law to facts might also be a secret task some of the time, the meaning of the law itself must always be public. Only then can We the People make sure we think it is being interpreted correctly.
The alternative to public law is the end of democratic supervision. And when that happens, well, the result is that the government keeps tabs on all calls in the U.S. All of them.

The Queens Museum Voices Project
Joseph Blanco has never seen his father's home country of Guatemala. The 25-year-old knows of his Garifuna heritage, but the Bronx native never learned the language, which is a blend of Spanish, Indian, and African influences.
Thanks to Cutting the Blaze to New Frontiers at the Queens Museum of Art in Flushing, Blanco is getting his chance to explore his identity and feels it's an important duty for him to find out about his culture.
"Although I'm American," he says, "I think I should be responsible for learning more about my culture or trying to do something about the people who live back in Guatemala, and the Garifuno people. To me to start to give back is to learn."
Created by the artist O Zhang, Cutting the Blaze to New Frontiers was inspired by the 70th anniversary of the 1939-40 New York World's Fair and takes place in the same space in Flushing Meadows Corona Park.
Zhang invited young participants who have never visited their parents' home countries to imagine their own "motherland" and construct pavilions to represent their cultural backgrounds. For Zhang, the result is meant to be an update on the original World's Fair, reflecting the diverse demographics of the city and the city's significance for a multi-cultural national future.
The exhibition represents countries as wide-ranging as Guyana, Belize, Lebanon, and Nigeria.
Maya Pruitt, 15, created a China Pavilion -- about a country she knows only through family stories. For her installation, Pruitt used translucent fabric imprinted with images of pandas, birds, and bamboo. The floor is lit with white lights and covered by a blanket of cherry blossom petals. But she has only a vague notion of Chinese pop culture.
"I know that there's a lot of Chinese pop, which is, I find, kind of funny," she says. "There might also be really traditional music with the really specialized Chinese instruments that they have."
In another installation, Pavilion of Pakistan, nine-year-old Zulaima Zubair recreated a temple. The structure is made of materials that mimic icing and edible gemstones, topped by a glass candy-jar. It's a Pakistani take on the gingerbread house.
Zhang also included a visual nod to the '39 fair in this exhibition. The signature monuments of that fair – the Trylon and Perisphere – are represented by a brightly colored obelisk, made from 20-foot-tall pick-up-sticks, positioned in front of a large glowing orb in the exhibition space.
And for visitors to the exhibition: a re-imagined Westinghouse Time Capsule asks visitors to write a note describing what they do not wish for future generations -- inverting the capsule's original purpose. This collection of "non-wishes" will be burned at the end of the exhibition.
The exhibit continues through April 25.

Congress is Less Popular Than Nickelback
When given the choice between Congress and Nickelback, more American chose the Canadian rock band over the people who are elected to make laws. Public Policy Polling (which is a real thing) matched Congress against various other unpopular subjects.
When given the choice between Congress and the often mocked Nickelback, 39 percent of Americans chose Nickelback and 32 percent chose Congress.
Other unpopular subjects that beat Congress include Carnies, Genghis Khan, Cockroaches, and root canals. Lice destroyed Congress. Only 19 percent of those who were polled choice Congress over lice.
It is not all bad for Congress. They did beat Lindsey Lohan, playground bullies, and the Ebola virus.
Overall, Congress has a 9 percent approval rating. They'd never make it as a wise man.

SAKE/GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo | Wed Nov 21, 2012 9:36am EST
SAKE/GOMA, Democratic Republic of Congo (Reuters) – Rebel forces in eastern Congo vowed on Wednesday to "liberate" all of the vast central African country as they began seizing towns near the Rwandan border and spoke of a 1,000-mile march to the capital Kinshasa.
The M23 rebels, widely believed to be backed by Rwanda, captured the eastern city of Goma on Tuesday, a provincial capital home to a million people; United Nations peacekeepers simply looked on, after Congolese troops had quit the town.
"The journey to liberate Congo has started now," Vianney Kazarama, spokesman for the rebel group, told a crowd of more than 1,000 at a stadium in Goma. "We're going to move on to Bukavu, and then to Kinshasa. Are you ready to join us?
Hours later, a rebel unit took control of Sake, a strategic town near Goma on the road running the length of Lake Kivu to Bukavu, 100 km (60 miles) away at the lake's southern end. In the 1990s, the current president's father burst out of the same area at the head of a rebel force to overthrow Mobutu Sese Seko.
A Reuters correspondent in Sake saw rebels in control of the town and no sign of fighting. On the outskirts of Goma, he saw buildings which had been shelled on Tuesday in heavy fighting as the troops of the Kinshasa government's FARDC army withdrew from the town, under fire from M23. The bodies of four soldiers lay in the road there, near an abandoned tank, and another body in civilian clothing lay in undergrowth among the houses.
The government in Kinshasa issued a statement on Wednesday admitting it had lost the battle but pledging to win the war: "Victory will be ours. That is what the Congolese want."
The rebels accuse President Joseph Kabila of failing to grant them posts in the army in line with a peace deal that ended a previous revolt in 2009. The current rebellion also reflects local ethnic tensions, intertwined with Rwanda's desire for influence over a neighboring region rich in minerals.
Rwanda previously backed the insurgency that swept Kabila's father, Laurent, to power in 1996 after a march across Congo to oust Mobutu, veteran dictator of a country then known as Zaire.
The new fighting has aggravated tensions between the Democratic Republic of Congo and Rwanda, which the Congolese government says is orchestrating the insurgency as a means of grabbing resources, which include diamonds, gold and coltan, an ore of rare metals used in electronics and high-tech materials.
U.N. experts have backed Congo's accusations – implicating Rwanda's defense minister. The government in Kigali denies the charges and says Kinshasa and world powers have failed to address the root causes of years of conflict in the region.
Kabila and Rwandan President Paul Kagame met on Wednesday in the Ugandan capital Kampala after holding three-way talks with Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni late on Tuesday. The Ugandan government said foreign ministers from the Great Lakes region had urged the African Union to deploy troops to halt the rebels.
But there are signs of trouble for Kabila already spreading in the resource-rich country the size of western Europe.
A Reuters reporter saw hundreds of young men with sticks sack the headquarters of Kabila's PPRD party in Bukavu, in protest at the Congolese government's failure to defend Goma.
Goma itself was quiet on Wednesday but at the rebel rally in the stadium, dozens of members of the security forces who had not fled the city appeared to have joined the insurgents.
"Its a problem of governance; there no food, there's no money," Rashidi Benshulungu, a captain in military intelligence who had changed sides, told Reuters. "I'm not a politician, that's a problem for Kabila. But we're following the ARC," he added, using an acronym used by the M23's combat force.
While regional mediator Uganda brokered talks between Congo and Rwanda, whose armies have repeatedly clashed during nearly two decades of on-off conflict around the Great Lakes, the U.N. Security Council condemned the rebels.
It approved a French resolution that "demands the immediate withdrawal of the M23 from Goma, the cessation of any further advances by the M23 and that its members immediately and permanently disband and lay down their arms".
The Council expressed "deep concern at reports indicating that external support continues to be provided to the M23, including through troop reinforcement, tactical advice and the supply of equipment, causing a significant increase of the military abilities of the M23". It "demands that any and all outside support to the M23 cease immediately".
The French government also expressed frustration with the U.N. peacekeepers, from India, South Africa and Uruguay, who gave up defending the city after Congo's army retreated. Paris called it "absurd" that the U.N. force did not protect Goma.
But a senior U.N. official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the withdrawal of Congolese civilian officials and troops had left a void it could not fill alone.
"We're not the army of any country, let alone the Congolese army, and it's not for us to take positions by ourselves to stop a rebel attack, or the movement of rebels," the official said.
While conflict has simmered almost constantly in Congo's east in recent years, this is the first time Goma has fallen to rebels since foreign occupying armies officially pulled out under peace deals at the end of the most recent 1998-2003 war. read more…

After a shaky start to his career, jockey Noel Callow has proved himself a stayer, writes Andrew Eddy.
It was the afternoon of October 11, 2003, and the scene was a normal one of controlled mayhem. It was in the mounting yard at Caulfield just moments after the 123rd running of the classic, the Caulfield Guineas.
But while owners, trainers and journalists were pushing, shoving and leaning in on post-race conversations, a few of the hacks stood back. Those with long memories shook their heads and shared a laugh.
There had probably been greater winners of the Caulfield Guineas than In Top Swing and there had been more memorable contests, but, for some of us, this truly was a moment that 10 years or so earlier would have been unimaginable.
At the centre of attention was a jockey in the red and lilac colours madly waving his arms, punching the sky, poking his tongue out and then star-jumping off the horse on returning to the mounting yard. He was Noel Callow, as brash and instinctive as always.
I first met Callow in 1989. A son of successful rider Kevin Callow from Adelaide, he was apprenticed to Eddie Laing at Epsom and one of his first assignments in his new and exciting role in Melbourne was to look after a filly I part-owned called Marine Beach.
My first impression of the then 15-year-old was that he was a rare individual. Within moments of being introduced, he was telling Laing, a veteran and successful horseman, exactly how to train horses.
He then turned on us and suggested how we should write our racing stories and then turned his attention to the bloke with the broom. He soon told him how to sweep.
Despite this slightly annoying over-confidence, he was somehow a likeable kid. Not that it mattered too much as kids like him do not last.
Masters expect their apprentices to be respectful, to listen and learn, to obey instructions and to stay out of trouble. Callow failed in all these categories.
A few months later, Laing sent him packing and over the next few years, Callow found himself in a variety of different stables. Added to his woes was that, as he matured, his weight began to soar. Stories continued to abound about how he had yet another punch-up with a fellow rider in the jockey's room. He was a hot-head who was never going to make it.
Sure enough, Callow gave up riding in the mid-1990s and, among other pursuits, began working in a bottle shop. Like so many before him, he had drifted out of the game. Few, if any, thought he would mature and could return to race riding, let alone become Australia's leading rider by winners, as is the case this season. But he did make it back. The ability was always there but, suddenly, so was the application and the dedication.
Callow, now 28, and his manager Des O'Keeffe, whom he teamed up with this year, worked some magic a few weeks before the Caulfield Guineas just to earn Callow the ride on the New South Wales-trained gelding In Top Swing.
O'Keeffe, who was certain an in-form Callow would suit the horse, sent Hawkesbury trainer Noel Mayfield-Smith Callow's curriculum vitae via fax and when the trainer noted that the rider's group 1 record was not attached, O'Keeffe said he thought that the last page of the fax must have been lost.
It had not. It was just that Callow had not ridden a group 1 winner before and this would count against him as the Hawkesbury trainer decided on who would ride his three-year-old in the Caulfield Guineas.
But Mayfield-Smith knew Callow was hungry. His record showed that he had ridden an amazing 30 winners in September. He was clearly riding as well as any other jockey in the land, and so Mayfield-Smith booked him.
The horse to beat in the $1 million classic was the certain leader Exceed And Excel, but there were other dangers, with Ambulance and Elvstroem likely to be running on late in the race. Callow would have to keep one eye on the speed and another on the backmarkers.
In Top Swing drew barrier four and Callow found a lovely spot on the rails after the field had jumped away. Exceed And Excel had broken the field up with his speed, but Callow kept him in his sights in the knowledge the favourite had had a virus during the week and could be vulnerable.
Once the field had turned for home, Callow set out after Exceed And Excel but In Top Swing had sprinted quickly and the favourite began to wobble. Suddenly, Callow found himself in front with more than half the straight to negotiate.
He remembered the backmarkers and so it was not time to be pretty or to show off. His head went down and his tail up and Callow barely drew breath as he worked on keeping his horse balanced and his action correct.
Metres from the line, Callow knew he was the winner as Face Value could not reel him in and the others were not coming home quickly enough.
Callow rose to meet the line. Standing high in the irons with his whip hand pointed skywards and his tongue flapping in the wind, Callow had won a group 1, and not just any. It was a Caulfield Guineas.
But Callow was not finished just yet. He saluted the crowd all the way back to the mounting yard, where he performed a credible, if not totally graceful, star-jump. He then entertained the crowd with his colourful post-race speech and hammed it up with the media.
The former loud-mouth kid with a short fuse and an opinion on everything had made it. Now, there might be no stopping him.

"Who's Counting?" Birthday Cake
Transform sheet cakes from basic to impressive with simple stencils, some straightforward cutting skills, and colorful candies. If your birthday girl or boy prefers chocolate, make a double batch of the Number-Themed Mini Birthday Cupcakes; bake for about 20 minutes.
- Prep:
- Total Time:
- Yield: Makes two 12-by-17-inch cakes (enough for 2 numbers)
Source: Martha Stewart Living, January 2011
- For the cakes:
- 4 1/2 sticks unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for baking sheets and parchment
- 9 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising), plus more for parchment
- 1/4 cup baking powder
- Salt
- 3 cups whole milk
- 3 tablespoons pure vanilla extract
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 14 large egg whites, room temperature
- For Decorating:
- Quick Swiss Meringue Buttercream
- 2 pounds multicolored candy-coated chocolates
Make the cakes: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two 12-by-17-inch rimmed baking sheets. Line with parchment. Butter parchment, and dust with flour, tapping out excess. Sift flour, baking powder, and 1 1/2 teaspoons salt into a bowl.
Combine milk and vanilla. Beat butter with a mixer on medium speed until very smooth. With machine running, gradually add sugar, and beat until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes.
Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture in 3 additions, alternating with milk mixture, beginning and ending with flour. Beat until just combined; do not overmix.
Beat egg whites in a clean mixer bowl on medium speed until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Gently fold egg whites into batter in 3 additions.
Transfer batter to baking sheets, smoothing tops with an offset spatula. Bake until tops spring back when pressed with a finger and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Let cool in sheets on wire racks for 15 minutes. Loosen edges of cakes with a small metal spatula or paring knife; invert onto racks. Discard parchment. To prevent splitting, reinvert cakes, top side up. Let cool completely.
Decorate the cakes: Place "20" stencil (or another number) onto 1 cake, setting numbers side by side. Secure with toothpicks. Cut around each stencil using a paring knife. Remove scraps. Repeat with remaining cake.
Spread 2 cups buttercream onto the "2," and spread 2 cups buttercream onto the "0." Top each number with remaining matching cake number, and frost tops and sides of each with remaining buttercream. Cover each cake with rows of candies.
