BANGALORE, INDIA: Jobs bell tolls for Dell
One of the first companies to move its customer-support call centres to India is now one of the first to repatriate them.
PC maker Dell is "scaling down tech support calls to India because its corporate clients have complained about thick accents and poor service", reports the Times of India.
Some customers complain of "sponge listening", in which service staff say they understand your problem but don't do anything about it. Global call centres in India are estimated to employ more than 200,000 people.
The change will only affect Dell's corporate customers, which account for most of its sales.
Home consumers will still be directed to the Indian call centres.

CHINA: Putting China in the picture
Motorola, the largest mobile phone maker in China, plans to quadruple the number of camera-equipped handset models it sells in the world's largest wireless market in the next two months. The company plans to start selling 13 additional camera phones by the end of January, adding to the four models available now, Beijing-based spokeswoman Shelagh Lester-Smith says.
Motorola scrapped plans to sell a V295 camera-phone in China because of insufficient demand. The model is not among the 13 to be introduced.
Motorola is trying to offer more phone choices to widen its lead over Nokia, the world's largest mobile phone maker and domestic makers such as Ningbo Bird and TCL Mobile Communication Co. TCL and other domestic manufacturers have delayed developing phones with built-in cameras to cut costs and inventory.
In October, the number of mobile phone users in China reached almost 260 million, more than the number of fixed-line subscribers.
WASHINGTON, D.C, US: Bill aimed at spammers
The US Senate unanimously passed legislation intended to reduce the flood of junk email that clogs computer inboxes, putting the bill on track to reach President Bush's desk next month.
If signed into law as expected, the legislation would take effect on January 1 - just in time to override a tougher anti-spam law in California that had sent email marketing firms into a frenzy. The federal law would supersede the 37 laws enacted by states that were frustrated by mountains of spam and the inability of Congress to pass antispam regulations earlier. Consumer groups say the bill, which must again receive House approval after the Senate made minor amendments, may reduce the amount of illicit solicitations from shadowy marketers - as long as the Government enforces the law.
"Congress is saying that spamming is an outlaw business," Senator Ron Wyden says. But he adds that anti-spam software and other technologies are also needed to help control the junk email flood. "We're not going to pretend this law is a silver bullet."
A dramatic surge in the amount of spam, to more than half of all messages sent across the internet today, has finally prompted Congress to end a six-year stalemate on how to regulate junk email.

Montpellier guaranteed they would join Toulon in the Heineken Cup quarter-finals by cruising home to victory over their off-colour opponents.
Tries from Thomas Combezou and Benoît Paillaugue, who converted both and also booted three penalties, gave the home side the victory they knew would assure them of a place in the last eight for the first time in their history.
Jonny Wilkinson opened the scoring with an early penalty for Toulon, but Combezou crossed for the game's first try in the eighth minute to put Montpellier in the ascendancy.
Paillaugue added the extras and punished Toulon with three penalties in an eight-minute spell midway through the half.
Delon Armitage was given a yellow card for a dangerous tackle six minutes before half-time, and although Toulon withstood Montpellier pressure during his absence from the pitch, it was not long after his return that the hosts scored again.
Paillaugue darted through to dot down in the 48th minute and with Wilkinson missing two kicks late in the game there was never any danger of a Toulon fightback.
Toulon's first defeat in Pool 6 did not prove costly, though, as they finished top and Montpellier took second place, certain to be one of the two best pool runners-up advancing to the quarter-final stage.

COOPER: The Hakkinen Enigma
Shaquille O'Neal is the Man. What more can you say about the 7-foot giant that dominated the NBA this year? He won league MVP, Playoff MVP, averaged 38 points and 16.7 rebounds a game in the playoffs, leading the Lakers to their first championship title in 12 years.
He is also an actor, having starred in three movies, Blue Chips, Kazaam and Steel, although the last two weren't very successful and, in fact, went straight to video.
He is rapper who has gone platinum a couple of times with his albums, entitled Shaq Diesel and Shaq Fu: Da Return. The world's biggest kid even has his own figurine as well as a Mortal Kombat style video game called Shaq Fu and he has even written a book entitled Shaq Attack.
Shaq has been a member of an NBA All-star team six times, a member of an All-NBA team four times, NBA player of the month five times, NBA Rookie of the Year in the 1992-93 season and named as one of the fifty greatest NBA players of all time.
As if he hasn't done enough, we now can add high-profile businessman to his repertoire. Shaq is the proud new owner of a struggling restaurant chain. Planet Hollywood announced Tuesday that O'Neal has become the company's latest celebrity shareholder.
The big guy will make personal appearances at restaurants in his new role. In addition, the restaurant company is adding "The Shaq Shake" to its menu. "I plan to do for Planet Hollywood as I have done for the Lakers," O'Neal said (does this mean he plans to miss free throws and prompt competing restaurants to throw their arms around him? Okay, okay, that was low...).
The ailing restaurant chain has had some high-profile owners such as Bruce Willis, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Demi Moore and Sylvester Stallone. They are counting on Shaq to breathe some life back into the company with some hype and publicity.
I hope if the company is successful, it doesn't prompt the same reaction as the Lakers' success. About a dozen people were injured in disturbances outside the Staples Center following the Lakers' series-clinching win over the Indiana Pacers.

Correction Appended
A Federal appeals court has ruled that a New Jersey bank can sue the State of Florida over the state's unauthorized use of a college-savings program, saying that states can be sued for infringing the patent owned by an individual or a company.
The decision by the United States Court of Appeals in Washington was welcomed by some patent lawyers, who had worried that a 1996 decision by the United States Supreme Court could allow states to use companies' patents without suffering any legal consequences. The worries escalated recently when another Federal appeals court cited the Supreme Court's decision in ruling that the University of Houston, a state school, could not be sued for publishing the works of an author without her permission.
But on Tuesday, the three-judge appeals court panel in Washington ruled against Florida, which had argued that it could not be sued by the College Savings Bank in Princeton in Federal court. The bank owns a 1988 patent on the method it uses to administer prepaid college tuition accounts, which allow parents to set aside money for their children's education.
The bank contends that the State of Florida is using the patented method illegally in its state-run prepaid college tuition program, which has about $2 billion in deposits and is the largest such program in the nation.
Louis F. Hubener, an assistant attorney general for Florida, said that he had not yet seen the decision and could not comment in detail. But he said there was a ''strong probability'' that the state would appeal the decision to the United States Supreme Court.Continue reading the main story
The case had been closely watched by experts on intellectual property and also by states, state universities and other state institutions, which had argued in the past that they could not be sued in Federal court under the 11th Amendment.
''This goes to the heart of federalism,'' said Gerald P. Dodson, a lawyer representing the Regents of the University of California, which had filed a brief supporting Florida in the case.
Tuesday's decision and the earlier decision that prevented an author from suing the University of Houston are among the first to interpret the 1996 Supreme Court ruling that had curbed the authority of Congress to subject states to lawsuits in Federal court. In that case, a divided Supreme Court said that the Federal Indian Gaming Regulatory Act was an unconstitutional incursion on state sovereignty.
Lawyers for the State of Florida relied on that 1996 Supreme Court decision to argue that another law passed by Congress in 1992 was also unconstitutional. That law allowed private parties to sue states for patent infringement.
In Tuesday's decision, the appeals court said that Congress had acted within its power when it passed the 1992 patent law.
''A state found to have infringed a patent is subject to the same consequences as a private party infringer, namely damages subject to trebling, attorney fees and injunctive relief,'' Judge Raymond C. Clevenger 3d wrote in his opinion for the unanimous panel. The other judges on the panel were William Curtis Bryson and Randall R. Rader.
Some of the lawyers involved in the case said that the Supreme Court would likely have to take up the issue again because Tuesday's ruling conflicts with that of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit earlier this year. That court found that University of Houston could not be sued for copyright infringement by Denise Chavez, the author of a book who contended the public university published the book without her permission. The Fifth Circuit panel said that Congress could not limit a state's immunity to lawsuits involving copyright infringement because it would be an end run around the 1996 Supreme Court ruling.
But on Tuesday, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit said that the decision in the University of Houston case and a similar decision by another court ''miss the mark.'' The court said that the 14th Amendment empowered Congress to prevent states from taking private property, including patent rights, without the due process of law.
Tuesday's decision was clearly a boost for College Savings Bank in its long-running battle with Florida.
Peter A. Roberts, the bank's chairman, said that he believed about a dozen states could be violating the bank's 1988 patent. But he said that the biggest infringer was Florida and the state's Prepaid Postsecondary Education Expense Board, which adminsters its college tuition program.
''They have made a quarter of a million dollars in profits off our invention,'' Mr. Roberts said.
Florida denied that it had infringed the bank's patent.
Correction: July 7, 1998, Tuesday An article in Business Day on Thursday about a ruling that lets the College Savings Bank sue the State of Florida in a patent infringement case misstated the amount of profit that the bank contends Florida has made from the unauthorized use of a college savings program. It is about a quarter of a billion dollars, not a quarter of a million.Continue reading the main story

There is little chance that harmful radiation from Japan's damaged nuclear plants will reach American land, said Nuclear Regulatory Commission Chairman Gregory Jaczko.
"Based on the type of reactor design and the nature of the accident, we see a very low likelihood -- really, a very low probability -- that there's any possibility of harmful radiation levels in the United States or in Hawaii or any other U.S. territories," Jaczko said at the White House.
He said his office dispatched two NRC technical experts to Japan to help with the nuclear plant damage caused by last week's earthquake and tsunami.
The NRC chair said all U.S. nuclear plants are "designed to withstand significant phenomena," such as earthquakes and tsunamis.
The Associated Press reports that the U.S. Navy has had to move several ships away from the Fukushima Dai-Ichi nuclear power plant after officials learned that the ships and the 17 helicopter crewmembers had been exposed to low-levels of radiation. The plant has experienced two hydrogen explosions in three days.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said nuclear power remains a part of President Obama's overall energy plan and provides about 20% of U.S. electricity. Carney said nuclear safety remains a priority
"Information is still coming in from Japan," Carney said.
Jaczko said the Nuclear Regulatory Commission will continue to monitor events in Japan.
"I would say it's a serious situation," Jaczko said.

Western Cape province lies just to the south of the great interior plateau (Highveld) of southern Africa. The southward edges of this plateau form a conspicuous rocky escarpment extending roughly along the northern border of the province. The central part of the province consists of the semiarid plateaus of the Karoo region, which are separated by east-west–running west-running mountain ranges—including the Great Swart Mountains—and extend as far south as the Lange Mountains. The narrow coastal zone south and west of the Karoo has varied relief from which the sandy Cape Columbine extends to the west and the rocky Cape of Good Hope extends to the southwest, where the flat-topped Table Mountain, overlooking Cape Town and Table Bay, is a prominent landmark. The province is drained by the Olifants, Berg, Bree, Gourtis, and other small rivers. Western Cape boasts a rich diversity of plant life; several sites that compose the Cape Floral Region Protected Areas (designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2004) are located here.
A maritime climate and accompanying vegetation are found in the coastal regions. Much of the remainder of the land to the north has a Mediterranean climate changing to semiarid farther north. The mean annual precipitation over most of the province amounts to less than 15 inches (380 mm), and areas of the northwest receive less than 5 inches (125 mm). Inland daily maximum temperatures usually range from 68° F (20° C68 °F (20 °C) in winter (July) to 90° F (32° C90 °F (32 °C) in summer (February).
In the late 20th century, approximately three-fifths About one-half of the province's population was is of mixed raceethnicity (formerly referred to as "coloured" under apartheid), one-fourth was whiteblack, and the remainder was black. one-fifth white. The remaining population is Asian of mostly Indian descent. Almost all of the population was is urban, concentrated for the most part in the city of Cape Town. Xhosa, a Bantu Afrikaans is the most widely spoken language, is spoken by many blacks, and both Afrikaans and English are important.Although Western Cape province's economy is diversified, agriculture dominates, traditionally employing many blacks. In the late 20th century, much followed by Xhosa and English. Many other African languages are also spoken by a small percentage of the population.
Western Cape has a strong agricultural sector. Much of South Africa's wool, wheat, alfalfa (lucerne) hay, and fruit (including apples, pears, apricots, and peaches) came comes from Western Cape province, as did does almost all of its wine. The interior is a sheep-raising region. Ostrich feathers were once an important product, but their value is now far surpassed by that of alfalfa seed, hay, fruit, tobacco, and wool. The area raising is prominent in the province, and ostrich meat and feathers are exported. The area also enjoys a steady export trade in fresh fruit, table grapes, wine, brandy, and canned goods. Timber is a valuable product in the area east of Mossel Bay on the south coast.
Rich Atlantic fishing grounds, ranging from Cape Agulhas to as far north as Namibia, supply an important fish meal and canning industry. The province's manufacturing industries include textiles, clothing, footwear, motor vehicles, tires, fertilizers, pesticides, and pharmaceuticals, along with marine engineering and ship repair. The province's mineral resources are not extensive.
There are universities at Cape Town, Stellenbosch, and Bellville. Cape Town has numerous libraries and museums—including the South African Museum (founded 1825). Robben Island, the location of an infamous prison and now a museum (designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1999), is located 5 miles (8 km) west of the mainland. Traveling companies sponsored by Artscape (formerly the Cape Performing Arts Board) stage theatrical and ballet performances throughout the province. Area 49,950 square miles (129,370 square km).

Random Single Gal Recipe: Beef Carpaccio With Arugula
Hi Frisky readers! Fun fact about me—I love to make and eat food! Now, if Kelly Bensimon were to meet me, I'm sure she'd emphasize in her psychotic way that I am a cook not a chef, and I would agree. That being said, I think I manage to whip up some tasty things in my tiny New York kitchen, so when the mood strikes, I like to introduce you to an easy recipe I'm currently loving.
Wednesday nights are what I like to call "date night," only I'm not going out to dinner and a movie with a handsome fella. No, "Date Night" is when I stay in, make dinner, and watch "America's Next Top Model," "Revenge," and "American Horror Story," aka the Boob Tube Trifecta. Last Wednesday night, I was feeling especially posh but not especially ravenous (I ate a late lunch), so I found myself going back to a recipe I used to make years ago when I was in a relationship: beef carpaccio.
When I first started dating my ex (the dude I was with for 4+ years and was engaged to, for those of you keeping detailed notes on my love life), he wooed me by making me beef carpaccio one night. I fell so damn in love with this deliciousness, that I believe we ate it for three additional nights afterward. I suspect that might not have been too good for my constitution — it is raw beef after all — but whatevs. Carpaccio quickly made its way onto my top 10 list of foods.
It is relatively simple to make, if a little bit labor intensive, and will definitely impress anyone who you choose to make it for, if you actually decide to share. And, of course, it's not exactly vegetarian-friendly, so for that I apologize. Let's get down to business shall we?
Recipe serves one kind of hungry single gal.
- 1/2 filet mignon (Do NOT use any other cut of meat, seriously. Only the best when you're eating raw.)
- baby arugula
- parmesan cheese, freshly shaved
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 tbsp. balsamic vinager
- sea salt, to taste
- pepper, to taste
- something heavy-ish and flat to bang with (a meat mallet is ideal, but you can get creative)
- 1 roll of plastic wrap
To Prepare
- Cut the filet mignon into cubes. Tear a sheet of plastic wrap (about, oh, 8 inches long) and put a cube in the center. Lay a second sheet of plastic wrap on top, sealing the meat inside. Using your mallet — or whatever hard, flat tool you've pulled out up — begin gently pounding the meat out until it's flat and paper thin, almost until you can see through it. As you pound it out, the meat will obviously spread (that's why you're using such big pieces of plastic wrap) but you want to be gentle because you don't want it to tear. Imagine your rolling out dough — you want the meat to flatten in a similar manner. Once the piece of meat is at your desired thinness, place it (still in the plastic wrap) in the freezer. Continue to pound out the remaining cubes, putting them in the freezer to chill as well.
- Remove the meat from the freezer, starting with the pieces that have been chilling the longest, and remove them from the plastic wrap, laying them gently on the bottom of a plate. After you've plated them all, pile on however much arugula you want. Shave as much parmesan as you want using a vegetable peeler (you could grate it, but I think shaved pieces are tastier). Season with salt and pepper. Pour on olive oil and balsamic vinegar (as much as you want — the amount specified above is approximate).
- Pour yourself a glass of red, sit, eat, drink, and burp.

Last week, Sprint (Overland Park, Kan., U.S.A.) announced that the Proliphix IMT-550 Internet Managed Thermostat is now available with Sprint wireless network connectivity. This connected thermostat allows small- to medium-sized retail business owners to reduce energy expenses and remotely monitor their storefronts, according to the company.
It supports three external wired sensors, which can sense temperature or dry contact closures from external equipment. Each of the sensors can provide independent alarms via email or text message when alerts are needed. Proliphix (Westford, Mass., U.S.A.), an energy conservation controls company, is the creator of the IP-enabled intelligent network thermostat.
Sprint also announced that its plug-n-play system, which allows property owners to access and control energy consumption from a Web Portal or smartphone, will be available in late 2011. SmartLabs INSTEON enables energy management, demand response and scheduled load-shedding with real-time reporting and alerts, says Sprint. Property owners can schedule electrical devices to be turned on or off based on time of day, occupancy, weather conditions or ambient light levels, and can also opt-in for the utility to turn devices off when the local demand for electricity is exceedingly high.
The product can be used to control indoor and outdoor lighting, security systems, heating and cooling (HVAC), appliances, door locks and more while using existing wired infrastructure, says Sprint.
Sprint opened the Sprint M2M Collaboration Center in Burlingame, Calif. last year. The center is a lab for the production of wirelessly enabled M2M concepts and products. Sprint also introduced the Sprint Command Center, a Web-based portal that allows businesses with Sprint wireless-connected products the ability to manage, activate and de-activate each device, says the company. In addition, businesses can suspend service, run usage reports and set alerts on how much data each module is consuming, without ever having to call Sprint directly.

Under the plan, 20 out of every 21 common Hynix shares will be cancelled, a move that will cut the face value of the company's share capital to 1.3 trillion won (£690m; $1.1bn) from 26.2 trillion.
This will pave the way for a debt-equity swap, allowing creditors to take control of the company.
The deal was pushed through in the face of opposition from minority shareholders, whose interests in the firm have effectively been nullified.
Brighter future?
Minority shareholders said they would be taking legal action to reverse the decision.
But with creditors already holding the majority of Hynix's voting stock, they seem to have little leverage to change company strategy.
Creditors have argued that only drastic action can save Hynix, the world's third-largest producer of memory chips.
The firm's future has rested on a knife-edge since it rejected a takeover by US rival Micron last April, despite suffering an acute shortage of cash in a desperately weak market.
Some analysts have argued that it would make more sense to allow Hynix to fail, rather than devoting time and effort to a risky rescue plan.

Remember the year: 1981. The 2nd edition of the Festival marks Oliver Jones' first appearance at the Festival International de Jazz de Montréal. He would return almost every year afterwards, taking part in opening and closing festivities on several occasions.
In 1989, he was recognized with the honour of playing with the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, along with artistic director, Charles Dutoit. The same maestro would later hand him the Oscar Peterson Award at the Place des Arts.
Upon his return to the Festival in 1992, he invited some of his friends to help celebrate the local flavours of jazz. Once he put the word out on the street, many heeded the call, including the Vic Vogel Big Band, and the Montreal Jubilation Gospel Choir. He wanted to showcase the diversity of the local music scene and offer the public a taste of what is available out there. The choral concert, part of the festivities for Montreal's 350th Anniversary, was also the closing event that year, and will surely go down in history as a special musical event for the city and for the Festival.
Retirement? Who said anything about retirement?
In 2004, after announcing his official retirement in 2000, Oliver Jones was joined onstage by none other than his dear old friend, Oscar Peterson, in an unforgettable concert that was the main closing event and the highlight of the Festival-definitely another one for the history books.
The following year found Jones joining forces with Montreal singer Ranee Lee, who had talked him out of retirement in 2000, to record the album called Just You, Just Me. He also found himself making his way to the stage once more to play a few tunes as part of the Festival program.
In spring 2008, he kept himself busy launching a new album, Second Time Around, and accepting an invitation to play at the Festival with a fellow pianist named Jones, Hank Jones, to be more precise. In 2011, Jones returned to the Festival to pay tribute to his late friend and mentor Oscar Peterson. The following year, he played a concert showcasing pieces from his own repertoire.
In 2013, the Montreal music legend brought us an exceedingly rare solo performance featuring a mix of compositions and standards in the perfectly intimate Cinquième Salle. A rare privilege. He's back in 2014 with Lorraine Desmarais, Ranee Lee, Josée Aidans and Daniel Clarke Bouchard to celebrate his 80th birthday!

Overall this digicam is good compared to its counterparts of similar technological age launched in late 2000 / early 2001. Picture quality is good except for night scene: noise is high if exposure is longer than 2 sec. Red & blue dots will be found in the picture.

Security company president defends use of armed guards at mine site
Submitted: 07/12/2013
Story By Associated Press
- The owner of an Arizona security company blames protestors for the decision to arm security guards at a proposed mine site.
Bulletproof Securities president Tom Parrella says its guards needed guns because of strange and threatening behavior by mine opponents.
Parella says some mine opponents posted what appear to be DEATH threats online.
Others have exhibited strange and threatening behavior.
He says the company will not put guards in risky situations without a way to defend themselves.
He said guards carried lightweight rifles because handguns wouldn't have been effective.
Bulletproof Securities pulled its guards from the Gogebic Taconite mine site in northern Wisconsin on Wednesday because they lacked state licenses.
Gogebic spokesman Bob Seitz says the guards will get licenses and return to work within days.

A water sports instructor gives free lessons in Three Lakes
Submitted: 07/23/2017
- One teenager decided to spend a day giving back to the Three Lakes community 18-year-old Maxwell Blanchard lives in L.A but always makes it back to Three Lakes during the summer.
Blanchard learned how to water ski and wakeboard in Three Lakes at five years old.
On Sunday he spent the day giving free water skiing and wakeboarding lessons.
"[To] get someone new out there to ski or at least get them attempting. It's always fun when you get the kids who are a little nervous out there and a little shaky, then they get out there and they love it," said Blanchard.
Blanchard said every year the water sports community chooses a day to give back and participate in "International Pass the Handle Day."
Kylee Swendson decided to help Blanchard this year with the lessons.
"It's great for everybody to get a chance to learn especially people who don't get the opportunity every day," said Swendson.

The Adventure Quest Program connects Chinese and American students
Submitted: 07/23/2017
- During the summer Northland Pines High School is being used as the home base for a foreign exchange program.
The Northwoods Adventure Quest Program brings students from China and America together.
Last year travel rules stopped the program from happening, but this year the students and organizers are more driven than ever to keep their mission going.
"You get to form relationships with people from around the world," said 10- year- old Chase Neubauer.
This is Neubauer's first time joining the two week Adventure Quest Program.
The goal of the program is to do more than just keep kids busy during the summer.
"[It] promotes connections with Wisconsin especially the Northern part [of Wisconsin with] all of China," said WISP Executive Director Xiaodong Kuang.
Kuang is one the organizers of the quest program. He couldn't think of a better way of promoting his goal than starting with young students.
"[So that] the young generation, who will be the future leaders of the world, [can] appreciate cultures and know more about each other," said Kuang.
This is Power Liu's first time coming to America with the program.

A group of older adults from all over the country meet to play tennis in Minocqua
Submitted: 07/21/2017
- The tennis courts at Lakeland Union High School usually get filled with students.
If you stop by the courts during the summer, you'll see a different demographic taking over.
A group of senior citizens dressed in all white play with wooden tennis rackets to mimic a Wimbledon, tennis game.
Jerry Sikora never played tennis until the day he decided to get a group together back in 1990.
"It means a lot to a lot of us that don't do activities that much," said Sikora.
Since getting the group together for the first time Sikora has gotten a lot of practice.
He also added about 20 older adults to the team.
The age range of the players is from the 50s to mid-80s.
"The older you get the smarter you get," said 70-year- old Ted Dasler.
The group said they only get better with time.
Sikora said the snowbirds get more practice during warm winters in the south.
"They have no mercy on us when they come back," said Sikora.
Things can get intense on the court at times, but the friendships and entertainment brings everyone back to play.
The players said the most important thing is to always have fun.

McEachron appointed mayor pro tem
December 04, 2012 8:32 PM
Brooke Edwards Staggs
VICTORVILLE • Jim Cox is now the mayor of Victorville, after the newly seated City Council unanimously gave him the title during Tuesday night's meeting.
"I'm not going to make a speech," Cox said as he took his seat at the center of the dais. "It's not what I say, it's what I do from this point on."
Cox served as Victorville's city manager from 1969 until he retired in 2000, leaving Victorville with a balanced budget and strong reserves. He was hired back in 2009, when former manager Jon Roberts resigned as the city's finances crumbled. Cox worked to get Victorville back on track, canceling pricey and questionable contracts with outside vendors and slashing department budgets.
Departing Mayor Ryan McEachron first nominated Councilman Jim Kennedy for mayor. However, Kennedy declined the honor, stating his travel schedule won't allow him to dedicate the needed time, and motioned for Cox instead.
McEachron was named mayor pro tem, which means he'll fill in if Cox isn't available to lead City Council meetings or man the scissors at ribbon-cuttings over the next two years.
McEachron was also seated to his second term on the council Tuesday night, as the third-highest vote-getter among 14 candidates on the November ballot. He was first elected to the City Council in November 2008 and appointed mayor in December 2010. He ran for City Council again after being defeated during the June primary in a run for the High Desert's new 8th Congressional District.
Gloria Garcia was sworn in to her first term on the City Council by Councilwoman Angela Valles, after Garcia received 13.27 percent of the vote Nov. 6. Garcia runs a local tax business and has been very active in the local Hispanic business community.
Victorville also said goodbye Tuesday night to departing Mayor Pro Tem Rudy Cabriales and Councilman Mike Rothschild.
Rothschild was the longest-serving member left on the City Council, having been elected to his first term in 1984. He served two terms as mayor and three terms as mayor pro tem, elected to his sixth term on the City Council as the second-highest vote-getter in 2008.
"I appreciate the confidence the community has had in me over the years," Rothschild said, reflecting on the city's accomplishments in developing Southern California Logistics Airport, absorbing the city's water districts and recently winning $54 million in a lawsuit over the failed Foxborough power plant.
Rothschild, a former Victor Valley High School mathematics teacher and U.S. Navy pilot, ran for a seventh term on the November ballot but missed nabbing a spot by 1,332 votes.
"Twenty-four years of commitment and devotion to the city of Victorville and its citizens," McEachron said, as he recognized Rothschild. "You've done so much for this city, and we appreciate all that you've done."
Cabriales opted not to run for another term on the City Council in November. He said Tuesday that "dirty politics" over the last two years have spilled over to include his wife, referring to controversy over whether she'd benefited from contracts he approved.
"You've served the city for an excess of 30 years — 36 1/2 years," McEachron said with a laugh, as Cabriales clarified the number. "I suspect that Rudy's not going away and that Rudy will still be involved."
Following a career in the U.S. Marine Corps, Cabriales become the city of Victorville's first fire chief in 1976. He retired from that post in 1997.
Cabriales joined the Victorville City Council in 1998 and was elected to three four-year terms after that, garnering the most votes during the 2008 election.
"You have a great city here because you have great staff," Cabriales said, expressing optimism for Victorville's future and encouraging new members to "do what's best for the citizens of this community."
Tuesday's meeting was adjourned to Dec. 18, when the newly seated City Council will tackle its first full agenda.

Ten million pages of historic Australian Newspapers are now available in Trove, with the arrival of the Saturday 31 July edition of The Leader from Orange, NSW. Not only are there now TEN million pages, but there are ONE HUNDRED million articles now available through Trove. This represents a significant milestone for the National Library initiative, the Australian Newspaper Digitisation Program, which was launched in 2008 as a project to provide free access to text-searchable digitised Australian newspapers.
Digitisation of The Leader has been sponsored by Central West Libraries, the regional library service for the Orange district, the NSW Government Country Libraries Fund, the Library Council of NSW and the State Library of NSW.
As noted in the National Library 'Behind the Scenes' blog, it's very fitting as Australia prepares to mark the centenary of the First World War that a 1915 edition is the paper to mark this milestone.

KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian who killed world-renowned heart surgeon Dr Victor Chang in 1991 during a bungled kidnap attempt arrived in Malaysia early Saturday after he was released from an Australian jail on parole.
Immigration director-general Datuk Alias Ahmad confirmed that Liew Chiew Seng, 69, arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) arrived at around 3.30am Saturday.
Following his arrival at KLIA, we brought him in for an interview which is part of the deportation process, he said when contacted.
He said that after the interview was completed, Liew was handed over to a travel control officer from Bukit Aman.
Liew, was released from Sydney's Long Bay Correctional Centre on Friday after serving 21 years of his 26-year sentence, ahead of his daughter's wedding, which is reportedly due to take place next Saturday.
AFP had reported that the parole board in the state of New South Wales had last month agreed to free Liew, who has advanced Parkinson's disease, after his lawyers argued that he would soon be unfit to travel and unable to be deported back to Malaysia.
His release came after the state's Attorney-General Greg Smith said it would drop its appeal against Liew's release.
Liew was one of two men convicted in the murder and pulled the trigger.
The man who provided the gun, Phillip Choon Tee Lim, was also jailed over the killing and was paroled and deported to Malaysia in 2010 after serving 18 years in prison.
Dr Chang earned an international reputation for his pioneering work on heart transplant methods and was gunned down near his Sydney home.

>> >I'd expect it to be: sss.sss.sss.18 / 28? 32?
>> >I have the gateway set to sss.sss.sss.17, the Pipeline 130.

OK, you need to understand the direction of the requests. By default
pinging out from the LAN is allowed (all traffic from LAN is allowed)
and from m0n0wall itself as is any traffic generated in reply to the
original request.
You will only need to add a firewall rule to the WAN interface if you
want to accept traffic the originates from a device on the WAN.
In this case you shouldn't need to do anything.
>> >5. Do I need to set any static routes? I'm guessing not.
>> No.
>> >6. What are minimum rules that I need to put in the firewall ruleset to get
>> >some traffic through? I've added some, but obviously have no idea what
>> >I'm doing or I wouldn't be writing this. Once I have something basic
>> >running, I'm confident I can add a rule to open a port for, say, ssh
>> >to a particular machine on my "routable IP" segment.
>> The default rule will allow all access from LAN so you should be able
>> access the Internet from a machine on your LAN.
>> >7. What NAT settings should I be using? I've chosen:
>> >"Enable advanced outbound NAT" and then added a "rule" that says:
>> >Interface=WAN, Source=192.168.1.0/24, Dest=*, Target=*
>> OK. That would be the default if you'd have left advanced NAT disabled.
>> What you'll need (so you can access the devices on your DMZ) is:
>> Interface: WAN
>> Source: 192.168.1.0/24
>> Destination: NOT Network sss.sss.sss.16/28
>> and leave all other options alone (but feel free to enter a
>> description)!
>So do I need this rule in *addition* to the one I had:
>Interface=WAN, Source=192.168.1.0/24, Dest=*, Target=*
>Or does your rule replace it? And do I want advanced NAT enabled or
>disabled? The docs suggested to me that I did want it, because (I think)
>my gateway address is inside of my block of IPs, and not separate.
Remove all your other rules and just use the one I listed. All it does
is ensure that any requests from you LAN to devices on your WAN / DMZ
subnet aren't NAT'd, otherwise you won't be able to connect to those
devices from LAN.
>> >8. What Proxy ARP settings should I be using? I have no idea here,
>> >after reading Proxy ARP stuff on the m0n0wall site and also other places
>> >online. LRP just had "on/off" as a choice, so I'm mystified here.
>> >(And please tell me exactly what to put on the form, as I've not
>> >been able to match up what people write in the m0n0wall mailing list
>> >archives with the actual values that one would put in the web form.)
>> None. You shouldn't need any.
>> You will probably want to tick 'Enable filtering bridge' under System |
>> Advanced. You will then need to add relevant rules to m0n0wall to allow
>> access to / from the devices in your DMZ.
>> I have this type of configuration (albeit with a /29) and it works a
>> treat.
>I'm trying it out now, even as I write this.
Please post here to let us know how you get on. I've had this setup
working for quite a while now. Since the last reboot my m0n0wall has
been up 318 days (and it's a home m0n0wall!)
Hope this helps,

The first regular-season edition of USA TODAY's major league power rankings are out -- with some significant changes.
Most notably, there is a new and overwhelming choice at No. 1. The Texas Rangers, on the strength of an 8-1 start, received 10 of 11 first-place votes from our panel, to easily out-point the Philadelphia Phillies. The Rangers move up from No. 6 in our preseason poll.
And what of our No. 1 club coming out of spring training? A 2-7 start dropped the Boston Red Sox all the way to 13. Perhaps fans of the Orioles, Blue Jays and Marlins, among others, will want to preserve this snapshot -- their teams are ahead of the Red Sox.
The Orioles are up 14 spots, into a tie for seventh, but they're not our biggest movers. The Cleveland Indians vaulted from dead last to 15th thanks to a 7-2 start that included a sweep of the Red Sox.
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

US fighter fires on school
Page Tools
Police were called to Little Egg Harbor Intermediate School when a custodian heard what sounded like someone running across the roof.
Photo: AP
A National Guard F-16 fighter plane mistakenly fired off 25 rounds of ammunition at the Little Egg Harbour Intermediate School in South New Jersey overnight.
The pilot was meant to fire the rounds about five kilometres away at a military target range, Lieutenant-Colonel Roberta Niedt of the New Jersey Department of Military and Veterans Affairs told reporters in the Jersey shore township's police headquarters.
No-one was injured as school was out and a lone custodian was inside the building when the bullets hit.
Damage was minimal, with the non-exploding, 20 millimetre bullets leaving puncture marks in the school's roof and the asphalt outside the building.
The fighter jet was part of the 113th Wing, District of Columbia Air National Guard assigned to Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.
An investigation was being conducted into how the pilot mistook the school, located on Frog Pond Road, for a target range.

Domestic Violence Happens When No One Is Looking
Finally, an advertisement that doesn't offend us! Amnesty International has installed a new anti-domestic-abuse ad at a bus stop in Hamburg, Germany that uses cutting edge technology to make its point. A small camera embedded in the ad makes it so the couple in the poster appears happy and smiling when someone is looking at it; when the viewer turns away, the image changes to one where the man is beating the woman. The text reads, "It happens when nobody is watching." The camera responds after only a brief delay — like if someone looks away quickly — so that observers are able to catch the two different images and understand what's going on and the message it's conveying. Powerful, and smart, stuff. Click here to see a larger image of the ad. [Gizmodo]

Washington Litigator New Hogan Lovells CEO: Business of Law
Hogan Lovells LLP's global co-head of litigation, Washington-based partner Steve Immelt, will take over as the sole chief executive officer of the firm in July.
Immelt, who was unanimously recommended for the post by the firm's board, will succeed current co-CEOs Warren Gorrell and David Harris, after being approved by the firm's partnership in a vote. London finance partner David Hudd, who currently heads the global finance practice and helped develop the firm's structured finance practice, will be the deputy CEO.
Gorrell and Harris were the key forces behind the merger in May 2010 of mainly U.S.-based Hogan & Hartson and mainly Europe-based Lovells, which together created Hogan Lovells in what the firm called a "merger of equals." Harris will be retiring from the firm while Gorrell will continue to focus on corporate practice.
"Our partners were clear that now is the right time to move to a single CEO," Nicholas Cheffings, Hogan Lovells's chairman said in a statement. "Steve is the obvious and clear choice. He is a clear and strategic thinker with a wide knowledge of the firm."
Immelt is currently a member of the firm's international management committee and global co-head of its litigation, arbitration and employment practice with London partner Michael Davison. He was previously head of Hogan & Hartson's international offices and managing partner of the firm's Baltimore office. He was also a key participant in the firms' combination.
"We've done the hard work of putting the firms together, with that behind us we're in the position to put all of our focus on clients and the marketplace," Immelt said in a telephone interview.
Hogan Lovells, which has a Swiss verein structure, which means the members share a name but have separate financial pools, had revenue of $1.6 billion (1.03 billion pounds) in financial year 2012 and has about 1,700 lawyers at 45 offices in 25 countries around the world, the firm said.
The firm's recent major client work includes representing BTA Bank on a $10 billion fraud claim; Apple on a corporate bond offerings; the sale of Russia's largest mobile phone company; and Equity Residential on its $16 billion acquisition of Archstone along with AvalonBay, the firm said.
Hogan Lovells has recently expanded its presence in Brazil, Indonesia, Mongolia, Luxembourg and South Africa.
Immelt said that while he sees his leadership as largely "staying the course because I think we're on a terrific course" he does expect to further expand in Africa and Latin America as well as strengthen the New York, Washington and London offices. "Our approach for expansion is that it's got to be strategic and client driven," he said.

Volcker Seen as Bonanza for $1,000-an-Hour Wall Street Lawyers
The Volcker rule means that the work is just beginning for Wall Street law firms including Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, whose senior partners have billed clients more than $1,000 an hour in the past, as well as Sullivan & Cromwell LLP and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP. The final Volcker rule offers an opportunity for new business and additional fees. Hundreds of lawyers will be needed to interpret the rule, establish models for compliance and find new strategies for securities firms with $44 billion at stake from market-making activities.
"The Volcker rule is going to keep a lot of people at this firm occupied for a long time," said Joshua Sterling, a partner at Bingham McCutchen LLP, which held a Volcker rule "boot camp" for attorneys last week. Securities firms spinning off units and non-banking companies looking to enter the field as others are forced to exit will create significant opportunities for new business, he said.
Jones Day has 200 lawyers around the world reviewing the Volcker rule this week, said Lisa Ledbetter, a Washington-based partner at the law firm. Ledbetter, who now spends about 75 percent of her time on issues related to the 2010 Dodd-Frank Act, said clients have been calling with questions about how to distinguish proprietary trading from market-making and hedging.
"We'll be working longer hours to make sure we have our arms around the content of the rule," Ledbetter said. The firm will send a summary of the regulations to clients as soon as its lawyers digest the details, she said.
The Federal Reserve, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. and three other agencies issued a final ruling banning proprietary trading and outlining what kinds of market-making -- the business of using a firm's capital to buy and sell securities with customers -- is allowed. Clients will be looking for quick analysis of key topics, including the scope of market-making exemptions, cross-border challenges and which metrics must be compiled and reported, according to Lanny Schwartz, a partner at Davis Polk.

Withers Bergman Hires Partner to Head Italian Desk in New York
Law firm Withers Bergman LLP, known as Withers outside of the U.S., announced that Corrado Manuali has joined the firm as head of its Italian desk in the U.S. Manuali, who will be based in the firm's New York office, was previously at Kranjac Tripodi & Partners LLP.
"Corrado's experience with U.S. and Italian-based business fits in perfectly with our goal of providing seamless cross-border representation to our clients," David Guin, partner and New York office managing director at Withers Bergman said in a statement.
Manuali focuses his practice on general corporate, M&A, commercial real estate and securities law, and has experience advising Italian companies operating in the U.S. as well as U.S. companies looking to expand into Italy. He also advises private equity funds with interests both in the U.S. and internationally, the firm said.
"As the third largest economy and second largest exporter in the Eurozone, Italy remains a significant source of new business for law firms and Withers Bergman in particular," Manuali said in a statement.
Manuali's clients include the gourmet Italian marketplace Eataly and the Bastianich family.
Withers Bergman has offices in New York, New Haven, Greenwich, London, BVI, Geneva, Hong Kong, Milan, Padua, Zurich and Singapore.
IP Litigator Joins Kaufman & Company in New York

Kaufman & Company opened its New York office in September. The Cleveland firm has 11 lawyers between the two offices.
Plant in Supreme Court Case to Comply With EPA Law It Fought
As lawyers argued in the U.S. Supreme Court over forcing power companies to install pollution scrubbers on power plants, the facility at the center of the case was busy doing something else: installing scrubbers.
When it was run by a unit of Edison International (EIX) in 2011, the Homer City Generating Station in Pennsylvania led the charge to get the Environmental Protection Agency's so-called transport rule tossed out, a case that ended up at the high court yesterday.
Since the case was filed, Edison transferred control of the plant back to its majority owner, General Electric Co. (GE), which said it would spend $700 million to $750 million comply with the transport rule and related EPA regulations.
Attorneys general from 14 states, led by Texas, are challenging the transport rule alongside Edison, Energy Future Holdings Corp.'s Luminant, Entergy Corp. (ETR), Peabody Energy Corp. (BTU), Southern Co. (SO) and the United Mine Workers of America. They say the EPA improperly focused on the cost of emission reductions, rather than basing its rule solely on the amount of pollutants created in each state.
"What this means is that states here which are making only a very slight contribution to air-quality problems in downwind states are nonetheless required to make very substantial reductions," said Peter Keisler, a lawyer representing the companies and miners, told the justices.
The issues before the Supreme Court go well beyond the plant even if GE does bring it up to compliance. The government's lawyer said the case could affect how future rules are crafted governing pollution that crosses state lines.
"This court's decision would affect the way in which both the states and EPA went about the business of determining how good-neighbor obligations should be carried out" in the future, Malcolm Stewart, the deputy solicitor general, told the justices.
Edison is still pushing back against the EPA, because of the precedent set by the way the agency crafted this rule, said Claudia O'Brien, a lawyer at Latham & Watkins LLP who represents the company.
The Supreme Court cases are Environmental Protection Agency v. EME Homer City Generation, 12-1182, and American Lung Association v. EME Homer City, 12-1183.

While Italians gave a hero's welcome to their victorious World Cup team, fresh from their triumph in Berlin, the seamy side of Italian football was being relegated to small print on the inside pages of Italian newspapers.
Yet a sports tribunal set up by the Italian football federation, Federcalcio, to investigate what has been described here as the biggest match-fixing scandal ever to besmirch Italian soccer, is due to deliver later this week in what could be a devastating verdict for four top Italian first division clubs: Juventus, AC Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio.
The tribunal is sitting in a sparsely furnished temporary courtroom at Rome's Olympic football stadium.
Five of the six judges are retired high court judges, the sixth is an official of the referees' association.
The verdict will then be immediately re-examined by an appeals tribunal.
Relegation possible
Serious allegations of extensive match-fixing and fraud first surfaced last May with the publication of alleged telephone conversations between officials discussing which referees should take charge of matches played by the current first division champions, Turin's Juventus.
The scandal mushroomed into a major enquiry into the ethical conduct of the entire football industry.
Now the four clubs, including Juventus, stand to be relegated to minor divisions of the Italian league and/or be stripped of their former championship titles.
Six members of Italy's cup winning team have played or are currently playing for Juventus.
Another former Juventus player, full-back Gianluca Pessotto, recently appointed team manager, is still critically ill in hospital after suffering severe depression and falling from a window at the club's headquarters.
If sanctions are imposed, the potential losses to clubs and players in TV rights could be enormous.
The clubs could also be thrown out of European competitions.
Twenty-six senior football officials are also under investigation.
Lawyers representing the accused clubs and officials have already asked for extra time to study evidence.
Earlier in the month, about 20,000 Juventus fans staged a march through the streets of Turin in support of their city's club, long associated with the Agnelli family, founders and major shareholders in the Fiat motor company.
The newly-appointed club chairman said Juventus may have committed sins but they were minor ones, not major ones.
From Berlin, the newly-appointed special commissioner of Italy's football federation Guido Rossi has made comforting noises saying that Italy's World Cup victory lays the basis for a new renaissance of Italian football.
"Now we have to separate the negative side from the positive," he added.
Also present in Berlin was Stefano Palazzi, the prosecutor who last week asked the tribunal to impose severe sanctions against clubs and officials accused in the match fixing scandal.
The Italian Federation has a 27 July deadline to communicate to Uefa the names of seven Italian clubs which will take part in the coming season's European championships.
Relegation would mean that some at least of Italy's new football heroes might be ineligible to take part.
That is a nightmare which Italian fans gathering in Rome for the homecoming celebrations of their adored Azzurri (the blues) do not even want to contemplate.
