A 21-year-old Sydney man has pleaded guilty to the murder of an Indian student whose body was found stuffed in a suitcase last year.
The body of Tosha Thakkar was found in the suitcase floating in a canal near the Parramatta River at Meadowbank in March 2011.
Police say the 24-year-old accountancy student had been raped and then strangled, a crime which drew a shocked and furious response from the Indian community both in Sydney and overseas.
Today in Burwood Local Court it was revealed that Ms Thakkar's neighbour, storeman Daniel Stani-Reginald, has pleaded guilty to the murder.
Stani-Reginald, who lived in the same apartment building as Ms Thakkar in the inner-west Sydney suburb of Croydon, was arrested soon after the discovery of his victim's body.
He has also been charged with raping Ms Thakkar, but has not pleaded guilty to this charge.
Magistrate Christopher Longley committed Stani-Reginald for sentencing in the NSW Supreme Court on November 28.
Stani-Reginald and Ms Thakkar lived in separate apartments above an empty storefront on Edwin Street in Croydon in Sydney's inner west. It is believed the murder took place in Ms Thakkar's apartment.
She was killed on March 9 between 10:35am and 1pm, while her roommate was out.
Construction workers found the suitcase a few days later while working on an oil line.

Unhappy with Coral Princess: Coral Princess Cruise Review by LJ Pia
Overall Member Rating
Unhappy with Coral Princess
Destination: Panama Canal & Central America
Embarkation: Los Angeles
This was not what I wanted nor what I expected. Right away it was hot all over the ship. Granted Los Angeles was hot that day and our cabin was in the sun, but it didn't cool down so I called A/C engineering to check it. It was adjusted and was much better. (But as the cruise continued, the A/C was still "spotty" around the ship, i.e., one elevator very warm, others comfortable; some areas of ship very warm, others more comfortable; cabin sometimes not very cool and had to call A/C engineering twice more.) Now it wasn't as if we would be traveling to the North Pole; we were headed for the tropics! So it would make sense, at least to me, that the ship would be prepared for very hot and very humid temperatures and in accordance with that keep the ship very cool. But No-No that was not the case.
Also More the water in the cabin was never cool--impossible to get a cool shower after being out on a shore excursion. This area of the world, being so near the Equator, tends to be very hot and very humid! In Fact I had read the Cartagena is so hot and humid that many reviewers could enjoy any shore excursions, so we cancelled that one.
In Costa Rica we took the Aerial Tram over the Rain Forest. Worthwhile even though it was hot and humid. The lunch that was served was typical of the region and I classified as "Fair."
At the Miraflores Locks we took the excursion describing the locks, a museum of artifacts, and a view of the working locks from a veranda at the locks. This I found very enlightening.
It is recommended to read David McCullough's Book "The Path Between the Seas" before cruising the locks for a complete understanding of this undertaking.
The food on board, either the buffet or dining room (we chose "anytime" dining) was only "Fair." Menus repeated; flavor bland; menu items chosen were not what I expected. (I refuse to pay extra for the specialty dining options.) I couldn't wait to disembark to get a good meal. Saying this, the best meal on the ship was the English Pub lunch in the Wheelhouse. Fish and Chips were very good.
All other aspects of the cruise were fine: Embarkation, disembarkation, shows, etc.
One of our favorite places was La Patisserie. We bought a coffee card and found the lattes delicious--used very good quality beans. Servers were helpful, happy and prompt.
This review does not constitute that I will never cruise Princess again. I almost certainly will, but not to any place hot. I will not expect much in the quality and flavor of the food. As we all know quality of middle-class cruise companies has gone down-hill for a long time. Nothing can be done about that except take a more expensive cruise line--so one gets what one pays for. The CEOs of the companies are the only one that make the money; it certainly doesn't go to the staffs.
P.S. Comedian Doug Funk very good; completely different type of comedy. Really enjoyed him. Would like to see him again. Some people went the second night he performed and it was a bit different. Less

Cabin review: BEB 734 Balcony
Cabin B 734 is aft next to stern and was adequate for two people. Balcony very small. Storage space good; shower extremely tiny. Nice feature: Door to large stern open public balcony right outside our cabin entrance. Good pictures of sunsets and clouds taken from there. Would choose this cabin again.Read All Balcony (BE) Reviews >>

September 11, 2012
Box Score:
SAN MARCOS, Calif. - Jake Kaiser's goal at the 27:37 mark of the opening half combined with a physical defense propelled Cal State San Marcos to a 1-0 win over The Master's College Tuesday afternoon, snapping the Mustangs' three-match winning streak.
The Mustangs, who hadn't lost since August 25, fell to 3-3.
Kaiser's goal with 17:23 left in the opening half was part of an all-out assault on the net by the Cougars, demonstrated by a 9-0 advantage in shots. Mustang goalie Andrew Bussell did a great job in deflecting many of those shots, making six saves during the first 45 minutes of action, but there wasn't much he could to prevent Kaiser's shot from going between the pipes.
The goal was set up on a long throw and a header that found its way to Kaiser who shot it by Bussell for what turned out to be the game-winner. Much to his credit and that of his defensive teammates, Bussell stopped every other Cougar shot and finished with a season-high nine saves.
Meanwhile, the Mustangs couldn't get anything going offensively, especially during a first half in which Coach Jim Rickard said "his young team had a hard time playing possession soccer." They played much better in the final stanza as evidenced by a 5-2 disadvantage in shots but they didn't wind up with a single shot on goal.
Seeking to regain the momentum that carried them to their recent three-game winning streak, the Mustangs will be back in action on Saturday when they travel to Long Beach to take on Marymount.

As I trudge the streets of Canada, I find few sights more depressing than women in full burkas, even if cool sneakers sometimes peek out at the bottom. It seems such a retreat from the splendors of life.
Yet the right of a woman in Canada to wear the burka or the niqab face veil in public is not an easy matter to assess. Should the state have the authority to ban the practice, as France has done? I'm not sure.
Which brings us to Immigration Minister Jason Kenney's sudden edict that women in niqabs taking the oath of citizenship must lift their veils. Otherwise, according to the minister, their pledge to be faithful to Canada and Queen Elizabeth might be mumbled without anyone knowing. Apparently, no previous immigrant has ever done that before in this great land of ours.
But okay, there are valid arguments on both sides. Far more troubling is Mr. Kenney's what-do-I-care response, when asked about the chance of legal objections to the ban.
"I'm sure they'll trump up some stupid Charter of Rights challenge," Mr. Kenney said.
This from a minister of the Crown, charged with upholding the laws of Canada? Shame.
The good old political game
There's lots out there to make a fella blue, even if you're Health Minister Mike de Jong. Cabinet just doesn't have the same old zing without former ministerial live wires Iain Black, John van Dongen and Kevin Krueger around to keep the mind alive.
So whenever the damp, drizzly November in his soul brings the normally ebullient Health Minister down, Mr. de Jong revives his spirits with a shot of Danny Gallivan.
He goes to YouTube and calls up the unsurpassed play-by-play announcer's call of the final few minutes and overtime of the legendary win by Montreal over the Don Cherry-coached Boston Bruins in the seventh game of their 1979 Stanley Cup semi-final. Suddenly, all is right in Mike's world.
It made me wonder: What if Danny Gallivan had employed his superb, exotic vocabulary to broadcast goings-on at the Victoria Forum, home of the B.C. Legislature?
I can hear him now, his voice rising and falling with the cadences of verbal cut-and-thrusts across the aisle.
"There's Falcon, picking his way rather gingerly through the budget estimates … and oh, a cannonading question from Horgan, kicked back in rapier-like fashion by the big veteran, Coleman. … Now, a stoppage in play, as a ruling gets caught up in the Speaker's paraphernalia … the Liberals head back up the floor with their patented spinarama move, to wit, the political flip flop …"
At the old Montreal Forum, Danny was forever joined in the booth by colour commentator Dick Irvin Jr., producing innumerable nostalgic references to "your father," who coached the Canadiens in the 1940s.
In Victoria, he might have had a different broadcast partner. "Well, Dix, I remember your premier. What a scintillating mentor he was for those young left-wingers …"
And finally, Danny would say: "The bell goes and the votes are over."
The history of a lifetime
Pause a moment as you contemplate another fun-filled venture to a clogged mall thronged with kajillions of dispirited Christmas shoppers, and reflect on the passage of time.
Earlier this month, Canada lost its last living citizen to have breathed the air of the past three centuries. At 112, Fung Sum Ying was just six years younger than the peasant under glass in Tiananmen Square, aka Mao Zedong, when pneumonia put an end to her long, active life that began in a southern Chinese village in 1899.
Sum Ying was alive when the Boxer Rebellion broke out, she was nine when the Empress Dowager Cixi died on the Imperial Throne in Beijing, and about to be married the year Sun Yat-Sen succumbed to liver cancer.
She was old enough to have had to refuse to have her feet bound, as was then the terrible custom for women, to have wedded an early Chinese immigrant to Canada who paid the head tax, and then, as a result of one of this country's most shameful policies, to have remained trapped in China with three children, unable to join her husband until the racist Exclusion Act was repealed in 1947.
The story of 20th-century China and Canada in one long life.
Freedom for felines
Suzanne Anton, where are you? The fulsome outrage Ms. Anton worked up over front-yard wheat and backyard chickens – though not shared by voters – is just what's needed, as another idea whose time has come heads toward City Hall.
Yes, folks, get ready for an off-leash park for cats. Dogs have them, but "there are no designated places for cats to roam free," complains a petition already signed by more than 150 feline fans.
Meow-y Christmas, everyone.Report Typo/Error

Best Of :: People & Places
Traditionally, Miami hasn't been soccer central. Cubans brought their passion for pelota — not fútbol — when they fled Fidel, while most South Florida Anglos would rather go fishing or watch NASCAR than take in this beautiful game. In recent years, however, hundreds of thousands of soccer-crazy Central and South Americans have flooded into South Florida. Strangely, good, reliable games are still few and far between. Unless you want to trek to Kendall, you're usually shit out of luck. Now, however, a flurry of new fields in the heart of the city offers hope. A block from the Miami River in Overtown, the new Downtown Soccer complex offers six-on-six games on soft synthetic turf. Hourly field rental rates vary from $120 in the evenings to $100 late at night. At $8 to $10 per person, the price is competitive with other venues around town, but what sets Downtown Soccer apart are the well-organized tournaments and relaxed atmosphere. Founded by Colombia-born brothers Randy and Pablo Rendón on an empty lot, Downtown Soccer offers weekly pick-up games or, for the more competitive, costlier tournaments that see the winning team take home as much as $1,500 cash. Most important, the field is open until 2 a.m., much later than most of its competitors, and serves snacks and beer. Neighbors might complain about the noise, but Downtown Soccer is a much-needed slice of South America in this Cuban-centric city.
The scene: A messy Harvard dorm room. A young, drunken student chugs beer at his computer.His handsome, dark-haired best friend wanders in.
"I need you," the first young man says.
"I'm here for you," his friend replies earnestly. "No, I need the algorithm you wrote to rank chess players."
"Are you OK?" the friend asks.
"We're ranking girls," the drunk at the computer answers.
And so Facebook was born — at least according to The Social Network, the Oscar-nominated film that took American theaters by storm last fall.
That drunk at the computer, of course, was Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook's brash, oft-criticized founder. His handsome friend, played by heartthrob Andrew Garfield, was none other than Eduardo Saverin.
The lesser-known half of Facebook's founding duo has had a breakout year thanks to The Social Network, a film largely based on Saverin's version of the website's founding — and his acrimonious split with Zuckerberg — as told to author Ben Mezrich.
Long before Saverin was fighting Zuckerberg for Facebook's billions, he was growing up in the Magic City, the son of Brazilian immigrants from São Paulo. Before heading to Harvard, Saverin cut his teeth at Miami's Gulliver Prep.
Now everyone knows the rest of his story: founding the business end of Facebook, getting screwed out of his shares by the devious Zuckerberg, and eventually getting the last laugh by winning an estimated billion-dollar court verdict against Facebook and literally writing the book on the website's incredible inside history.
Not a bad year for a local kid.
Call it "Obamarail" all you want, you freaky-looking doppelganger to the creepy preacher from Poltergeist. The plan to build a high-speed rail system through Florida was championed by Gov. Charlie Crist, your Republican predecessor in office. And your rejection of $2.4 billion in federal funds to build the system — which would have created thousands of jobs — will bite you in your luminescent, bony ass. If there's one principle constant among state politicians of both red and blue ilk, it's this: Money from Washington is glorious. It is to be accepted with no argument. It is an oatmeal cookie from Mom. You would never tell her: "What's the calorie count in this cookie?" You would not inquire as to whether the cookie was gluten-free. You would take the fucking cookie and then figure out what to do with it. Florida has seen a lot of different kinds of morons in office, Rick Scott. But none dumb enough to turn down a giant cookie when the state is suffering from some seriously low blood sugar. That's why you were sued by Florida senators from both sides of the aisle. That's why your approval rating is doing its best impression of Emilio Bonifacio's batting average. And that, dear sir, is why you need to climb back into the fiery hole in Hades from which you emerged.
Only in Miami could a billionaire with an empire of auto dealerships be the underdog. But that's exactly what happened when 78-year-old Norman Braman took aim at Carlos Alvarez. The Miami-Dade mayor never saw it coming. How could he? Considering that — unlike most of his predecessors — he didn't break any obvious laws, Alvarez was probably already designing the statue of himself to go up in Little Havana. But when the South Florida economy tanked, each Alvarez mistake became a stone in Braman's ever-growing arsenal. With all of that ammo, Braman couldn't miss. He announced a recall campaign against the mayor and pumped more than a million bucks of his own money into the effort. When the results came in, it was a victory of biblical proportions for the billionaire: Almost 90 percent of voters decided to oust Alvarez's ass. But like any other Banana Republic coup, it left everyday citizens wondering which despot is next.
Unless you support terrifying cyborgs sent from the future to eliminate state government with just their laser eyes (cough, cough, Rick Scott) or count yourself a member of the Marco Rubio Tea Party Pretty Boy Army, the past 12 months have been a dismal time to be a South Florida voter. A terrible year, that is, with one bright, sequined, outrageously colorful-hat-wearing exception: Frederica Wilson, Miami's newest rep in the U.S. Congress, is pretty much the bomb. Wilson made a name for herself by winning unlikely battles: first as a Miami principal who closed a fume-spewing plant near her school, then as a state representative and senator taking down everything from high school dirty dancing to HIV testing for prisoners. Now in Washington, she has brought some much-needed visibility to a Democratic freshman class overshadowed by the boisterous GOP, earning a cover photo on the Washington Post Magazine, and backing controversial legislation, such as a ban on cell phones while driving. Down with the cyborgs! Up with blinged-out cowboy hats!
When big shows roll into town, there is usually only one person who can grant media access to ink-stained wretches. His name is Woody Graber. Want to cover the Bob Marley Festival? Call Graber. Want to hit up the South Beach Comedy Festival? Call Graber. Bruce Springsteen is playing at the BankAtlantic Center, and Girl Talk is headlining at the Fillmore Miami Beach? You know who to call. Same Woody you call to, ahem, interview porn stars Dylan Ryder and Phoenix Marie at Exxxotica. A cantankerous old-school publicist who doesn't show any shame in cutting off access to reporters who annoy him, Graber is the dean of the concert promotion scene. You could be the second coming of Hunter S. Thompson and he would still freeze you out.

Mine Eye Hath Played the Painter: Len Cariou in Video Sonnet on Shakespeare's 450th Birthday
Published 10:00 pm, Wednesday, April 9, 2014
The marvelously inventive Sonnet Project from New York Shakespeare Exchange (NYSX) is setting all of Shakespeare's sonnets one by one to (very) short films set in various New York City locations. Directed by and starring by an assortment of talented people, the series advances on April 16 with a big name, Broadway star and Tony winner Len Cariou (TV's Blue Bloods,/em>), in Sonnet #76.
Following that, and premiering at a viewing party on April 22 at Amity Hall, Sonnet #63 will make its debut, starring famed actor, director and playwright Austin Pendleton.
In the end, the project will create short films of every one of Shakespeare's 154 sonnets, "bringing together the classical poetry of the Bard with the urban poetry of New York City." Each is released on the Sonnet Project website, and there's a free Sonnet Project mobile app for iPhone and Android too.
When all the sonnets have been filmed, NYSX intends to develop a Sonnet Walking Tour of New York City neighborhoods.
How do I film thee? Let me count the ways. Yes, I know, that's a reference to Elizabeth Barrett Browning, not Shakespeare, and it's a sonnet "from the Portuguese," not from the Big Apple. But as Gertrude Stein could have said, sonnet is a sonnet is a sonnet is a sonnet. And you can see that many sonnets, and many more courtesy of the Sonnet Project. A much better break-time activity than watching cat videos on YouTube, no?

Early London Baptists
According to the Baptist Union Directory, organised Baptist life in England had two distinct beginnings:-
- General Baptists: In 1611, Thomas Helwys led a small group back from Holland – a few years earlier they had sought freedom there from religious persecution. The Helwys group initially established themselves in Spitalfields, London. But Thomas Helwys was soon arrested and put in Newgate Prison where he died before 1616. The successors of Thomas Helwys and friends became known as General Baptists. By 1618 the Spitalfields church had moved to Crosby House; in 1625 Elias Tookey led a small group away to meet in Southwark (on the south of the Thames). By 1639 there was one General Baptist church meeting in North Folgate, London led by Thomas Lambe, and another meeting in Bell Alley, London led by Edward Barber.
- Particular Baptists: In 1633, a group split away from a Calvinist Separatist church in London on adopting believers' baptism and by 1638 were being led by Samuel Eaton. Another group split away from the same original Calvinist Separatist church in 1638, this time led by John Spilsbury. The successors of these two groups became known as Particular Baptists.
If you have a particular interest, try enquiring further through the Baptist Union or Regents Park College, Oxford. There is also Baptist Historical Society (c/o Treasurer, Baptist Historical Society (c/o Rev T H S Elwyn, Treasurer, Baptist Historical Society, 28 Dowthorpe Hill, Earls Barton, Northampton NN6 0PB, UK) which has published detailed books on Baptist history like "The English Baptists of the Seventeenth Century" by B R White (1983). A simpler summary is provided by "English Baptist History and Heritage" (published 1990 by the Baptist Union as part of their Christian Training Programme).

I was at the opening show of Paganfest USA in Toronto a week and a day ago, on April 25th. To all [folk] metalheads who may read this... let me tell you that it was incredible.
Firstly, on the subject of hair... I couldn't even attempt a headbang or windmill this show because of the insane crowd, and because my hair was in mortal peril... it kept getting pinned between people and I could feel it half ripping out of my skull constantly. That was the only horrible thing about that night.
The bands Tyr, Turisas and Ensiferum played... unfortunately Eluveitie couldn't show and had to cancel because they couldn't get some sort of papers to enter Canada or something... it was complicated, but they were replaced by some local band called O'Faolain.
Tyr was up for a mere 30 mins, I reckon... they had the shortest time, save for O'Faolain. But Tyr was amazing live (okay, so all the bands were), and I suppose the tamest band as well.
Turisas was wild... I didn't suppose they would have as many fans as Tyr and Ensiferum especially, but the hardcore fans were absolutely wild... they dressed themselves up as Turisas, facepaint and armour and everything... and they were completely mental in the mosh pit. I wanted to kick those fans for being so annoying, but I admit that Turisas does sound better live than they normally do.
Ensiferum... they were just great. Petri was of course beautiful as usual, and they played my three favourite songs... Ahti, One More Magic Potion and Lai Lai Hei. Petri's growls were crazy as usual and he certainly knows how to charm a crowd Apparently, where my friend was standing... she could see up Pete's kilt... "it was pretty". *snicker*
My friends and I snuck around to the back doors at the end of the concert where the tour buses were (and where nobody else thought to look after the show) and we got a hold of Tyr and Turisas... I got Ragnarok signed by three of the Tyr members and photos with Turisas and Tyr. Unfortunately we couldn't stay long enough to catch Ensiferum... I wanted to cry, because I REALLY wanted a photo with Pete!
We had to leave though, because the LOVELY TTC decided to go on strike at midnight without prior warning... the show ended 1 or 2 hours after that, so everyone who went to the show was obviously enraged and we were all taking taxis home and whatnot... ours costed an outrageous $40, which could have bought us more Paganfest merchandise. Bah.
It was amazing though, I wish they'd tour again... Toronto sold out really quickly.

It started with the Obama campaign taking its attack on Mitt Romney to Boston, with senior strategist David Axelrod and Massachusetts Democrats pillorying the GOP nominee's record as the Bay State's governor at a rally and news conference just steps from the state capitol.
But some rowdy Romney supporters were ready to spoil the attack on the former governor's home turf. Romney supporters who showed up to the rally jeered and chanted, attempting to drown out Axelrod and the other speakers. Some chanted, "We want Mitt," "Where are the jobs?" and suggested Axelrod go back to Chicago.
"I get tweets from some of these people," Axelrod responded at one point. "You can shout down speakers, my friends. But it's hard to Etch A Sketch the truth away."
In Boston and at other media appearances today, Axelrod and Obama campaign aides are again hammering Romney for downplaying his one term as Massachusetts governor. The Obama team argues that Romney has spent little time talking about his time in the governor's mansion, because during his tenure job creation slipped, the state's debt load spike by 16% and the size of state government grew.
The campaign is marrying its jabs on Romney's time as governor with questions about his time at the private-equity firm Bain Capital.
"We are here today because Gov. Romney's singular claim to the presidency is that his career in the corporate buyout business imbued him with insights that will grow our economy, create jobs, reduce the size of government and reduce debt," Axelrod said. "If that sounds familiar today, it's because the people of Massachusetts have heard it all before."
Axelrod seemed flustered and addressed the Romney protesters directly several times during his brief remarks. At one point, he paused to respond to the protesters chant by summoning his inner Jack Nicholson: "You can't handle the truth, my friend. You can't handle the truth."
Axelrod also noted that it's been nearly a century since a candidate has won the presidency but lost his home state. (Woodrow Wilson managed to do it in 1916.) Romney trails Obama in the Democratic-leaning Massachusetts, according to recent polls.
"These may be the only voters right here for Mitt Romney in Massachusetts," Axelrod said of protesters.

Watermelon decorated cupcakes recipe
With temperatures warming up to the 90s and summer break just around the corner, celebrate the change in seasons by whipping up these adorable watermelon cupcakes! Decorated like the popular summer fruit, these will be a huge hit with your kids and their friends.
Watermelon cupcakes
Serves 12
Although these look like watermelons, they taste like rich vanilla cake and decadent buttercream. These are a great dessert idea for end of the year school parties and are perfect for Memorial Day BBQs!
Recipe adapted from The Comfort of Cooking
For the cupcakes:
- 1-1/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 cup butter, room temperature
- 1/2 cup white sugar
- 1/2 cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 cup light cream or 1 percent milk
- 1-1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- Dash of salt
For the decorating:
- 1 cup buttercream icing (use this recipe)
- Red food coloring
- Green icing in a jar (I used this)
- Black icing gel
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12-cavity muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
- In a large bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat butter and sugars together until creamy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until fully combined. Add a 1/2 cup of the flour mixture to the butter mixture, stir well. Add in a 1/2 cup of milk. Repeat until you've added in the rest of the milk and flour (be sure to end with the flour).
- Fill each muffin cavity about 2/3 of the way full with the batter. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out dry. Let cupcakes cool completely before you frost.
- To make icing, mix the white buttercream with red food dye. Color until icing resembles the color of a watermelon (a very deep pink). Starting in the middle, frost each cupcake with the pink frosting, leaving a 1/4-inch of the edge dry.
- Carefully pipe green icing around the very edge of the cupcake. Then using your black icing gel, carefully add a few dots onto the middle of the pink icing so it looks like watermelon seeds.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!

During keynote at Hackers on Planet Earth (HOPE) conference, NSA whistleblower Binney revealed details of NSA surveillance and dossiers.
One of three ex-NSA employees so angered by privacy violations they now speak out, William Binney says the NSA has a file on every U.S. citizen. Even more, hundreds of millions of call log files are sent to the NSA every single day for tracking purposes. Network World has a short video interview with Binney in their story.
Earlier this month, NSA head General Keith Alexander said the NSA doesn't have the ability to spy on American emails (Techdirt.com, with video of his entire speech). General Alexander claimed hackers and malware attacks have been "the greatest transfers of wealth in history." And that's why the NSA needs more cybersecurity legislation that supersedes privacy rights.

Photos and Quotes From Penelope Cruz in Interview Magazine 2009-12-03 10:00:00
Penelope Strikes One Pose After Another For Nine in Interview
Penelope Cruz went with red lips and lots of diamonds for the January cover of Interview. She posed for an accompanying sexy spread and talked about Nine with her costar in the film, Marion Cotillard. There's all sorts of speculation about Penelope's personal life and possible engagement to Javier Bardem, but the ladies kept things strictly focused on business — Penelope shared about what compelled her to act, her inspirations, and what it was like on the female-centered set of Nine. Here's more:
- On what inspired her to act: "That question actually brings me to the reason why I decided to become an actress, which is my constant curiosity about the endless mysteries of human behavior. Because we are dealing with the beauty and complexity of human confusion, no? And we are always trying to get answers."
- On when she knew she wanted to act: "I think since I was around four years old. I remember playing with some friends and being aware that I was acting as I was playing with them — I would think of a character and pretend to be someone else. My parents also took me to ballet school, and there I think I was able to start communicating those feelings or emotions — I danced for so many years. And then, when I was 10 or 11, I became a very big fan of movies."
- On who she looks up to:: "As an actress, I really love people like Anna Magnani and Debra Winger. I also think there is nobody better than Meryl Streep. I watch her movies over and over again — I saw Silkwood again a couple of weeks ago, and it made me just want to kiss her feet. We only know each other from seeing each other at awards ceremonies or those kinds of events, but whenever I see her, I always go up to her and start kissing her. I don't even say anything—I just kiss her. She must think I'm some crazy person. And then, from the women in my life, I have to say that I have a very special relationship with my mother. She had me when she was 21, so she was very young. I've always been able to talk to her about everything. Since I was a little girl, nothing was taboo in my house. She's been the person who I've looked to for inspiration for many of the characters that Pedro writes because she's really a force of nature. She's very strong."
To see what Penelope has to say about her favorite directors and working with Sophia Loren, just
- On working with great directors: "I feel like I've been very lucky with the directors. The characters I've been offered, especially lately, have given me the opportunity to play all of these different women. I always wanted that, and it's something that you cannot do by yourself. If you want to play a diversity of characters, somebody else has to have the imagination to give you a role completely out of the box. We depend on somebody else's trust, and these directors are giving me their trust, and I am grateful for that. But I don't know. . . . I still feel like I have so much to learn. I love that feeling, that next time I go to set, I will be terrified again. I don't want it to be any other way."
- On working with Sophia Loren in Nine: "We drove her crazy asking questions — at least I drove her crazy asking her every day about [Vittorio] De Sica and Fellini and [Marcello] Mastroianni and all of the amazing people who she's had the opportunity to work with. She is so incredible, this woman . . . She looks like a goddess. But she was always worried to see if we were eating enough. I was eating like a pig during that movie because I wanted to gain a few kilos. I was eating nonstop. But it was never enough for Sophia. She would say, "You're not eating enough, and then you're doing all this exercise! And I just saw Marion, and she left the table. That one eats less than you do — nothing!'"
- On who she'd pick if she could invite any four people to dinner: "I would take Federico Fellini, Billy Wilder, Woody Allen, and Pedro Almodóvar, and I would make broken eggs, which is a Spanish dish. It's all fried, and it's very fattening, with a lot of oil, salt, eggs, and potatoes. I know how to make it, and it's so greasy, but there is a truth to it. Can you imagine this group?"

My sister just had her first baby, and I'm trying to figure out if her c-section could have been avoided. Up until 8cm, she was walking the halls and doing a really awesome job. The nurse would have her come back to her room every 1-2 hours for 15 minutes on the monitor. Baby was great, and she was great.
When a check revealed that she was 8 cm, she stayed in her room, but still pacing or standing, leaning on the bed. About 2 hours later, she got another check, and she was still 8cm, and her cervix was swollen in the front. We knew that the baby was posterior throughout labor, so I'm assuming that it was malpositioning that caused the swelling. The doctor and nurse wanted her off her feet to try to get the swelling down, so at that point, she sat upright in bed for a while. I guess it was another hour later, she was still 8cm and still swollen. She requested an epidural. After that, she was able to lay down and sleep for a couple of hours (at this point, she had been awake for about 20 hours). She was checked again. Still at 8cm and still swollen. She had been like that for 6 full hours at this point.
Her doctor said, "Do you want a c-section now or later?" She said that she would wait another 2 hours and see if the swelling would go down, but she didn't think that would happen. My sister was devastated and reluctantly agreed to have the c-section right then.
The whole time, the baby was doing great. My sister, not so much. Up until she got the epidural, she was having transition contractions for 3-4 straight hours, and she was just exhausted.
I know it's too late to go back and change it now, but is there anything else we could have done to get that cervical swelling down?

I was in a similar situation with my first, and the epi was the only thing that worked. If it didn't work, I don't think there's anything else they can do.
DCP to 1 busy munchkin! and a CRST too!
One technique I know of: fill the finger of a glove with ice, place on swelling aspect of cervix. I imagine the effect might be sort of ... I've never seen this actually used.

Thanks for the replies. I talked to my midwife about it today, and she told me that she recently had a very similar situation. They transferred to the hospital after she had been swollen for 6 hours at home, got an epidural, and the mother slept for 8 hours straight. After that, the swelling went down, but that's how long it took.
My sister's doctor would have given her an additional 2 hours, but that's it. Unfortunately, she delivered at a hospital very well known for their high c-section rate (and their complete ban on doulas!).

I mved 8 months ago , I just plugged it in , is functionnal but not securized , I cannot find reference guide
I will try again to enter admin twice
please leave the utilizer name blank and enter admin as password

still cannot get in ??????
from where did you buy this router?
do you know the vendor?
do you know the settings of the router so that if we reset it you can enter them again>
yes I do no the vendor, what do you mean by the setttings ?, Do I need a CD
actually your router connects with the internet service provider when you provide it few parameters like IP address
do you know these settings?
I don't know my IP address but I remember seeing it . Can you tell me how to access it in the computer ?
you IP address is not enough
that is assigned to you by the router
infact it is the IP address of the server to which your router connects to get the internet
who installed the router and configured it for you?
a freind , but I said it goes back a few years ,
I will look into my ''box '' that contains all installation CD's and info books related to the computer .
which internet service provider do you have?
do you have internet modem as well which is connected to this linksys router?
then let us reset the router and make changes
hold down the RESET button of your router for 30 seconds
as you asked I reseted the router , and lost the connection , after connecting and disconnecting wires several times + reseting again the router, I am finally back , they said computers are supposed to save us time ????
i just forgot to tell you that this is going to happen
please connect the router with your computer, enter 192.168.1.1
and now check if you can get in with admin as username and password
we are in , thanks, :) :) :)
do you see any menu item with SECURITY text>
or MANAGEMENT?
SES is inactive , there is a reset security button
in wireless menu I have reset security button , and changed password XXXXX administration menu . I will try to access with my IPhone
router is securized , but can't get in with Iphone , I will check all boxes to make sure what is checked off
Are you back ?
yes i am back
sorry there was some problem with my internet
no problem, please guide me , I see the WIFI on my I phone but if I enter Password XXXXX I entered in Administration menu of Linksys page I cannot access
are you able to access the internet on any other wireless device like your computer after you changed the security key?
did not try , but probably not , I will try now with lap top
i think this will not work
you have not set up the right password
should i guide you on it
please , when I tried to connect with lap top , I used "WPA Shared Key " number . On my computer got message saying "system has detected IP address conflict with other system on WIFI" ( this is my translation from original Frech message )
please get to the linksys main page by typing 192.168.1.1 in the browser
i am already logged to Linksys page
click the WIRELESS menu
now click WIRELESS SECURITY
in the first drop down, select WEP
now in the KEY 1 text box, give the key you want
e.g. 12345
done , after I suppose I save settings?
now you should use this key on all the wireless devices
when I save settings I get message saying invalid length of key , i will try again
enter a 10 digit password
if I enter 6 letters + 4 digits = " have illegal hexadecimal digits " message
try just digits and tell me the result
ok with digits , i will try iphone now.
works with i phone , will try Lap Top
lap top still in process of opening , Will I have to do Key number each time or will router recognize my Iphone , Lap top and Ipad automatically?
once you give in the password, they will connect automatically
thank you , still waiting for lap top, should be soon .....
yes hopefully
if it does not connect, then you should change the security password XXXXX from within the laptop network settings
it tries to connect but does not ask for key code
turn off wifi and then turn on
view the list of available wireless connection by clicking the wireless icon in the system tray ( with the clock in the right bottom)
and connect the wireless network of your own
it should ask for password
I configurated laptop and is now functional , THANK YOU VERY MUCH ,
Thank you very much for coming to Just Answer!. it was a pleasure working with you
it is with pleasure that I will click the accept button and provide positive feedback , Just Answer charged me 30.00$ but we spent over 21/2 hours on this , Please accept an additional 30.00$ for your work , how do I proceed to give it to you ?

While Republicans lambast the cost of implementing health care reform, a new report shows that their efforts to repeal the law have come at a major cost to taxpayers -- to the tune of nearly $50 million.
The House of Representatives again voted to repeal President Obama's signature health care law on Wednesday, marking the 33rd time Republicans have attempted to take down the legislation. The 32 previous repeal efforts faltered at the hands of the Democrat-controlled Senate; the latest attempt is unlikely to break that pattern.
According to a report by CBS News, these efforts, widely viewed as symbolic political maneuvers, come with a high price tag.

The inhabitants of Eelong are in danger of being wiped out by a mysterious plague. The only way Bobby can stop it is to bring the antidote from another territory.

Two good practices, and I'm pretty close to 70% recovered.
Tuesday I called off work, and skipped practice. I had a fever when I went to bed, but it broke around the time I would have been getting up for work(2:30AM). I also had to bring my son home from school because his stomach bug was still bothering him. I struggled with chills through the day, but slept well Tuesday night. So I got up at 2:30 AM and went to work Wednesday morning.
The day went ok, I was tired, but it was a slow day. I had a lot of work to catch up on, but the systems I needed were shut down, so I just did what I could. Practice felt great, I really wanted to run with the kids. I went out with the boys, and did their 2 mile at a 7:30 pace. I can't tell you how great that felt. I did refrain from running the Speed work with them, I can make good choices sometimes. They did 4x200's at race pace with 2 minute rest, followed by 3x800's at race pace with 3 minute rest, then a 1000 at race pace. I ran the cool down with them and called it a night.
Today I got caught up on a lot of my work, I still have a lot to do. Practice was a 30 minute run followed by 1 mile of 200's on the track. I did run this whole workout with the boys, the 200's were tough, we ran them at close to 5k pace. We did the 30 minutes in the woods so it was a nice change from all of the road running. I think that the change of pace was good for them(and me). My left calf is a bit tight now, so I will work on it with the roller a bit.
Tomorrow's practice will be even easier, just 30 minutes. Saturday will be our next meet. This one has a free 5k run for the community, I have run it the last couple of years to show off for the Middle School. It worked to fire them up for their races, but I'm not as close to them as I was in previous years, so I don't know if it would have the same effect. Any way I think I should refrain from racing for a little while yet, and I would race it.
This was a breakout race for some of the kids last year, and I am hoping to see more PR's.
I guess that's it for tonight, I need to eat and get some sleep.
Have fun!

Two years ago, Nokia struck mobile gold with its 6300 Classic handset. This mid-range candybar sold by the truckload; its clean lines, slimline stainless steel design and ultra user-friendliness were, rightly so, a smash hit with the everyman.
But instead of basking in the success and slacking off, Nokia has gone to work on its follow-up, the 6700 Classic, considerably boosting the feature set and taking design inspiration from the manufacturer's more luxury handsets like the 8800 Sirocco.
Full metal jacket
Where the 6300 was only part metal, the 6700 is completely wrapped in a quality stainless steel suit that gives it a premium heft light years beyond its mid-range ranking.
Unfortunately, there's a downside to its burnished armour – it's vulnerable to finger print smears galore. However, a quick polish on the shirtsleeve gets it shiny and new again.
Its predecessor's edges and corners have also been smoothed out while the new sleeker profile makes it an incredibly attractive handset to both ogle and handle.
The 6700's slimmer frame is the result of the new look keypad. The traditional square buttons have been replaced by a flat pressure pad arrangement that's equally lucid to thumb. This phone really is a joy to use.
Symbian savvy
Sadly, Nokia hasn't promoted the 6700 Classic to smartphone status but it does run off the Series 40 platform. While it doesn't have the versatility and app download range of the Symbian S60 OS, it's still highly customisable on the homescreen front.
Four homescreen panels can each be filled with a one of ten content choices including an indispensable shortcut bar that delivers access to more specific features and functions like direct weblinks and embedded apps such as Facebook, YouTube, Share on Ovi or MySpace.
Of course, you can keep or remove as many zones as you desire or just opt for a standard wallpapered homescreen if you don't like the clutter.
Feature hike
The 6300's feature line-up was in desperate need of a refresh and Nokia has duly obliged, swapping its languid GPRS download speeds and outmoded 2MP camera with HSDPA, support for A-GPS and a 5MP snapper.
Despite the camera set up lacking any compelling photos mods and a lacklustre LED flash, this lens is surprisingly up there with the best 5MP shooters. Picture quality is fantastic, displaying vivid colours and a good level of crisp detail. And even without a macro mode, autofocus handles close-ups with aplomb.
The music player is also missing some key features, including an integrated 3.5mm headphone jack. You don't even get a bundled adapter and although the audio quality is listenable through the supplied earphones, it would certainly sound better via your own pair.
Loss of connection
The latest HSDPA speeds may be at our disposal but we're a bit miffed to see Wi-Fi missing. That said, web pages still load swiftly via Nokia's own capable MiniMap toting browser, although we preferred using the more effective and efficient Opera Mini for web surfing on a small screen.
The features on Nokia Maps have been diluted, we suspect, to make navigation on its smallish 2.2-inch display more seamless and less untidy.
There's no 3D or satellite view, just your 2D layout and this format suits personal rather than in-car navigation much better. And with support for A-GPS, getting a sputnik fix proved very quick from a cold start.
The 6700 has certainly got all the right ingredients to emulate the 6300's success story and then some. It's a handset that looks good and plays good and although Nokia could have weighed in with some sharper features, it's still a phone destined for classic status. Smartphone refuseniks and touchphone rebels will love it.

Winnipeg Thrashers 4 - Cole Harbour McCains 3
Just as it was one day earlier in their win over Séminaire Saint-François, it was the special teams that led the Winnipeg Thrashers to victory on Wednesday.
The West Region champions scored three times on the powerplay and once shorthanded as they improved to a perfect 3-0 at the 2008 TELUS Cup with a 4-3 win over the Cole Harbour McCains.
Player of the game Mark Stone and Jesse Hall led the charge with two goals and two assists for the Thrashers, who clicked for four goals on the man advantage against the Blizzard on Tuesday.
The Thrashers, just as they did in Tuesday's game, clicked in the opening three minutes, as Hall picked up the loose puck after a Stone shot and deposited it behind Cole Harbour McCains netminder Kody Blois.
The Atlantic Region representatives answered right back, however, as Theodore Hannah beat Winnipeg goaltender Joey Rewucki just 1:52 after Hall's goal to pull the McCains even at 1-1.
Just 3:43 after that it was the McCains again who struck, as Cole Harbour player of the game Stuart Lenehan beat Rewucki through the legs from the point on a powerplay, giving Cole Harbour a somewhat surprising 2-1 lead.
Stone, Hall and the Winnipeg special teams took over in the late going of the opening period, as Stone scored once on the man advantage and once shorthanded 4:27 apart before the first intermission.
After being outshot 14-7 in the opening 20 minutes, the McCains held a 7-6 advantage in period two, but could not get a shot past Brett Martyniuk, who replaced Rewucki after the first period.
The Thrashers had the only goal of the second period, as Hall and Stone combined once again on the powerplay, sending Winnipeg to the second intermission with a 4-2 lead.
Needing a fast start to get back into the game, Cole Harbour got a quick goal from Stephen MacAuley just 5:09 into the final frame, but could not muster anymore offence, managing just six shots over the final 20 minutes.
The Thrashers will look to remain perfect on Thursday when they face the host Ottawa Valley Titans at 7:30 p.m. ET, while the McCains will look to break into the win column against the Sudbury Nickel Capital Wolves at 12:00 p.m. ET.

New GE, Cisco firm to aid factory-to-office networks

GE Industrial Systems (Plainville, Conn.) and Cisco Systems (San Jose, Calif.) announced June 6 that they've formed a new company, GE Cisco Industrial Networks, to assess, design, and build network infrastructures for plant floor and industrial environments. The partners say these infrastructures will aid enterprise-wide communications essential to real-time decision making, e-business, and increased productivity.
GE Cisco Industrial Networks (Charlottesville, Va.—also the home of GE Fanuc) will use Ethernet open standard network infrastructure to bridge gaps in factory floor/enterprise information. The partners say benefits Ethernet traditionally brings to office networks—including low installation and maintenance costs, as well as seamless integration with the Internet—will now be available to the factory without compromising manufacturing productivity.
Technically an 80% GE-owned, 20% Cisco-owned joint venture, GE Cisco's location in Charlottesville means it will likely draw on some of GE Fanuc's personnel. Core executive, engineering, and administrative staffers are already in place, and the 50-employee start up company is expected increase hiring as needed. Though financial terms of the joint venture weren't disclosed, GE Industrial Systems expects the new company to reach $100 million in sales in three to five years, while its Ethernet-in-plant market grows to $3 billion by 2003.
"The benefits of communicating real-time plant floor data over Ethernet and uniting it with the office over one enterprise-wide backbone are enormous,'' says Jeff Pompeo, GE Cisco Industrial Networks' president and ceo. "Users have rapid access to data and can better exploit applications, such as enterprise resource planning (ERP), remote monitoring, and vendor-managed inventory (VMI) via a standard Internet browser. Additionally, machining and manufacturing cells, each with multiple control devices, can be connected via one open infrastructure rather than several islands of proprietary networks, which allows factory floor communication and improves resource management.
"Installing, maintaining, and managing one type of network throughout the enterprise is also substantially less expensive than supporting several networks. As a result, return on investment is realized more quickly. The enterprise-wide Ethernet network helps make companies more productive by virtually eliminating network downtime, bottlenecks, and crashes for guaranteed data availability."
GE Fanuc buys DataViews
In other news, GE Fanuc Automation Inc. (Charlottesville, Va.) announced June 19 that it has acquired the assets of DataViews Corp. (Northampton, Mass), a privately held subsidiary of Dynatech Corp. (Burlington, Mass.). Financial terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.
DataViews designs and manufactures software that allows factory automation equipment users to customize the way they view and access information. These open graphical interface software development tools are available for Windows-, Unix, Linux-, and Web-based environments. The acquisition will further expand GE Fanuc's line of industrial automation software by allowing users to create their own custom operator interface packages.
"DataViews has taken an open, scalable approach to the development of reusable, dynamic data visualization components," says Kevin Roach, GE Fanuc's Software Business vp. "The company complements GE Fanuc's 'open solutions' approach to industrial automation. The technology is an excellent fit with our existing products and services."
DataViews has approximately 30,000 customer installations worldwide. Applications built with DataViews products can be deployed as stand-alone, client-server, or Web-based applications. DataViews-powered interfaces are used to graphically monitor and control satellites, communications gateways, power plants, factories and simulation systems.

The relegated Bees took a shock lead when Thomas Pinault chipped home and Charlie Ide smashed in to make it 2-0.
However, David Prutton headed in and then set up Kris Commons to level, though he appeared to handle the ball.
Jack Lester then fell theatrically to earn a penalty which Grant Holt scored from, and Commons lobbed a fine fourth.
