David Lewis Paget
Coma! - Poem by David Lewis Paget
I'd only woken an hour before
And it seemed to cause a stir,
With people pouring into the room,
Coming from everywhere,
They looked excited, stared at me
And I stared right back, confused,
But nobody said a word to me
And I started feeling used.
'What the hell…' I began to say,
But a nurse told me to hush,
Stuck a thermometer into my mouth
Then tried to feed me mush,
She cleared the room and a doctor came
And read my chart with a frown,
'Welcome back to the world, ' he said,
'It's changed, since you were around.'
I couldn't make head or tail of this,
I didn't know where I was,
Loaded with tubes, I raised my arms
And flapped like an albatross,
'Let me get out of here, ' I said,
'I need to get up and walk! '
'Your legs won't carry you anywhere
Just yet, but we have to talk.'
He said I'd been out a long, long time,
It would take more time to adjust,
To start, he asked if I knew my name
So I told him, Benjamin Rust.
And then I remembered the bicycle
That I'd ridden down to the shop,
And the four wheel drive that had sped right by,
Too bad that it didn't stop!
Then slowly figures came back to me,
A head full of raven hair,
Those pouting lips that had tempted me
And a dimple or two to spare,
She'd arched her brows in a quizzical way
When I'd shown her the double bed,
Then laughed, 'You're getting ahead of yourself,
I first need a ring, ' she said.
We'd courted all through the summer months
And made love late in the fall,
I'd said, 'I don't want a part of you,
I'd be content with it all! '
We wed in a little country church
Where the rain dripped down from the eaves,
And strolled from the vestry, hand in hand
As a breeze had fluttered the leaves.
My heart had leapt in that sterile room
As I caught the scent of her hair,
I said, 'Is Jocelyn waiting here? '
The doctor continued to stare.
'You have to know that your world has changed
And the change may bring you tears,
You haven't been out for a week or so,
But over a number of years.'
I was feeling the panic rise in me
As those dreaded words sank in,
'Over a number of years, ' he'd said,
As if I'd committed a sin!
And then, 'How old do you think you are? '
I replied, 'I'm twenty-two! '
He shook his head at the foot of the bed,
'There's a shock still coming to you.'
He wouldn't say, and he went away
As I lay there, feeling grim,
So I asked the nurse, 'How old am I? '
But she said, 'Just wait for him.'
At three in the afternoon I sensed
A shadow, stood at the door,
And there was a matronly woman there
Who must have been fifty-four.
She said, 'I can't believe you're awake,
We'd long given up on you,
They asked me to come to the hospital,
And I needed to see, it's true.'
Her hair was grey, but she had a way
That dredged a dream from the past,
She said, 'Do you know me, Jocelyn?
It's good to see you at last.'
The horror rose in my throat at that,
My heart hung still in my chest,
'My God, you look like your mother now…'
'I knew that you'd be distressed.
I got a divorce when you didn't wake
After ten long years in this bed,
I feel so sad, but I wed again…'
Her words, like knives in my head.
I'd lain in a coma, thirty years
Why didn't they let me die?
Jocelyn said she paid for me
In hopes, she didn't say why.
This world is a terrifying place
When you lose the love of your life,
And wake to the loss of thirty years…
I'll slit my veins with a knife!

All About Alli, the Weight Loss Pill (cont.)
More than just a pill, the Alli program involves a reduced-calorie, low-fat diet, regular walking and toning exercises, and behavioral changes. It comes with a companion book called Are You Losing It? Losing Weight Without Losing Your Mind, along with other weight loss material and online support. The drug's manufacturer, GlaxoSmithKline, is going all out with a splashy marketing plan that includes a museum-style exhibit in Manhattan demonstrating a dieter's experience before and after the addition of Alli.
The pills cost about $1.50 to $2 a day. A 60-count starter kit retails for $49.25 and a 90-count kit costs $62.99 at www.drugstore.com. GlaxoSmithKline is working with state insurers to get some of the costs covered by insurance.
A Magic Bullet?
If you take Alli and follow a sensible low-fat diet and exercise, you will lose 50% more weight than you would with diet and exercise alone. Instead of losing 10 pounds, a person who takes Alli will lose 15 pounds.
"It's an exciting new tool and widely available, but to think this is the only thing or some magic quick fix is wrong," says Gary Foster, MD, director of the Center of Obesity Research and Education at Temple University in Philadelphia, who helped develop the Alli program. "For the same amount of effort [as with a traditional diet and exercise plans], you get 50% more weight loss. It makes it easier, not effortless," he tells WebMD.
"Alli is an add-on," says George Blackburn, MD, PhD, director of the Center for the Study of Nutrition Medicine at the Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "You have to have a good lifestyle with diet and exercise."
GlaxoSmithKline even makes the point on its web site devoted to the drug that it "only works if you work" and that it is "not a miracle pill or a quick fix."
In the recommended Alli diet, one-third of the calories come from fat, one-third come from protein, and the final third comes from carbs.
"Do the things you need to do to lose weight and see if this won't make it that much more successful," Blackburn tells WebMD.
"It's not about a pill, it's about a program," agrees Valentine Burroughs, MD, MBA, chief medical officer and chairman of the department of medicine at North General Hospital in New York City. Burroughs participated in developing the Alli program.
How Alli Works
The new drug is not an appetite suppressant. Instead, Alli works by blocking the absorption of fat in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. But the blocked fat has to go somewhere, which is why many a candid commentator has said not to take Alli on a first date or wear white pants while taking it.
A GlaxoSmithKline executive, speaking at a news conference in New York City, called the untoward GI effects a positive feedback tool to help people modify their eating habits. Put another way: eat a high-fat meal, have an "accident" -- and you will be less likely to do it again.

10 Ways to Save Money at College
10 Ways to Save Money at College from Overstock.com. Here are 10 ways to help you stay on budget and save you money during your college career.
Felix Guattari (1930-1992), post-'68 French psychoanalyst and philosopher, is the author of Anti-Oedipus (with Gilles Deleuze), and a number of books published by Semiotext(e), including The Anti-Oedipus Papers, and Molecular Revolution in Brazil (with Suely Rolnik).
Chaosophy is an introduction to Felix Guattari's groundbreaking theories of "schizo-analysis": a process meant to replace Freudian interpretation with a more pragmatic, experimental, and collective approach rooted in reality. Unlike Freud, who utilized neuroses as his working model, Guattari adopted the model of schizophrenia--which he believed to be an extreme mental state induced by the capitalist system itself, and one that enforces neurosis as a way of maintaining normality. Guattari's post-Marxist vision of capitalism provides a new definition not only of mental illness, but also of the micropolitical means for its subversion. Chaosophy includes such provocative pieces as "Everybody Wants to Be a Fascist," a group of texts on Guattari's collaborative work with Gilles Deleuze (including the appendix to Anti-Oedipus, not available in the English edition), and "How Martians Make Love," a roundtable discussion with Guattari, Lotringer, Catherine Clement, and Serge Leclaire from 1972 (still unpublished in French). This new, expanded edition features a new introduction by Francois Dosse (author of a new biography of Guattari and Gilles Deleuze) and a range of additional essays, including "Franco Basaglia: Guerrilla Psychiatrist," "The Transference," "Semiological Subjection, Semiotic Enslavement," "The Place of the Signifier in the Institution," and "Three Billion Perverts on the Stand."

Mia Knox & Miela A – Dream About You
Released: May 18, 2013
Two lovers awake one bright morning. Miela A rises and retreats to the bathroom. Mia Knox remains snuggled under the duvet. But she's not ready to go back to sleep, she's in the mood for some self-made erotic pleasure. As her fingers go to work inside her frilly white panties her excitement rapidly grows. And that's when Miela A returns to the bedroom unexpectedly. There is an awkward moment, but it is only fleeting. Miela soon joins Mia on the bed and assumes the role of eager aggressor. Already primed by her own masturbatory episode, Mia is quickly elevated to an orgasmic state by Miela's ravenous and insatiable mouth. But this is hardly a one-way street. Mia has her chance to dine on her lover's aroused delicacies, as well. And the twosome also indulge in synchronized sapphism during a heated bout of soixante-neuf. If your dreams are filled with fantasies of uninhibited lesbianism, "Dream About You" will be a dream come true.

* Net income from cont ops $0.89/share vs. $0.54/share
* Indices revenue jumps 18%; Platts revenue up 14%
* Standard & Poor's revenue up 1 pct (Adds details, CEO comment)
April 29 (Reuters) - Standard & Poor's owner McGraw Hill Financial Inc reported a 62 percent rise in quarterly profit, driven mainly by its indices business and Platts, its energy and metals information provider.
Net income from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders rose to $248 million, or 89 cents per share, for the first quarter ended March 31, from $153 million, or 54 cents per share, a year earlier.
That was just above the average analyst forecast earnings of 88 cents per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
"Platts and S&P Dow Jones Indices delivered outstanding revenue growth...," Chief Executive Douglas Peterson said in a statement.
"The robust performance of these businesses more than offset the impact of tough year-over-year bond issuance comparisons at Standard & Poor's Ratings Services," he said.
Total global debt issuance fell 4 percent to $1.6 trillion during the first quarter of 2014 - the slowest start to a year since 2008, according to Thomson Reuters data.
Rival Moody's Corp reported a 16-percent jump in its net income last week as the strength in its analytics business helped weather a slowdown in bond issuance.
Revenue at McGraw Hill's S&P Dow Jones Indices business rose 18 percent to $137 million, while revenue from Platts rose 14 percent to $148 million.
Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, which is the biggest unit by revenue, posted a modest 1 percent revenue growth during the period.
New York-based McGraw Hill's shares closed at $75.07 on Monday on the New York Stock Exchange. They have fallen about 3 percent since the beginning of the year.

No Name, Few Clues: The Case of 'Baby Hope'
Published: September 21, 1991
(Page 3 of 3)
On Aug. 28, the Medical Examiner's office reported dramatic new information. Laboratory tests now revealed traces of semen, suggesting that the girl had been sexually abused. The tests yielded little more. But the results strengthened suspicions that the killer may have been a close male relative, the father or stepfather, in keeping with a pattern often seen in child sex abuse cases. The fact that the family had not reported the child missing buttressed the idea.
The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children in Arlington, Va., helped prepare a new picture, using a computer to mesh various facial characteristics, which Officer Domingo then fashioned into a new sketch that was released on Sept. 11. Now, Officers Search For New Approaches
Along with the false leads, the case has elicited an outpouring of compassion. Close to two dozen callers, including representatives of a funeral home and a cemetery, have offered to pay for the girl's burial when her body is eventually released by the Medical Examiner's office. One young woman who wrote that she was single and unemployed also offered money and sent in a pink ribbon for the child, whom she said she was calling "Ariel."
"I call her 'Ariel' after 'The Little Mermaid,' " she wrote, "because all little girls want to be a little mermaid. Please put the ribbon in her hair. She deserves it."
Like his men, Lieutenant Reznick went back to the scene several times, looking for missed clues. "Usually I get a sense of what took place," he said. But this location was hard to read. Why there? "If you look around," he said, "there are a million and one other places they could have gone."
He acknowledged that some of his men have talked to a psychic, who has visited the site and "calls periodically if she has a dream."
"Green comes to her, the color or a name, an old-type station wagon and an underpass," Lieutenant Resnick said with a shrug. "But God forbid she tells you something you ignore that turns out to be good."
Now, he is looking for unconventional approaches. Watching a video of "Kindergarten Cop" with his sons gave him the idea of tapping schools for help. Perhaps teachers around the city could ask pupils about family members and neighbors, on the chance that one might mention a missing sister or friend. He said the Board of Education has agreed to try it.
One night last week a caller phoned in another tip on the case involving a car in the Bronx. It would prove to be another dead end, but Detectives Neenan and Giorgio and the Lieutenant set off to check it out.
"You got the cuffs, Joe?" Detective Giorgio asked. "Just in case."

Author | exchange4media Mumbai Bureau | Tuesday, Mar 25,2008 7:57 AM
FICCI Frames 2008, the annual convention of the media and entertainment industry gets underway in Mumbai from March 25, 2008. The three-day event will cover the entire gamut of media and entertainment like films, TV, radio, digital entertainment, animation, gaming, visual effects, etc. Over 1,500 delegates are expected to attend the convention.
The inaugural session would see Minister for Information and Broadcasting, PR Dasmunsi, release the FICCI-PWC report on the media and entertainment industry as well as the FICCI Amarchand Mangaldas Law Book. This would be followed by the Minister's address to the delegates.
Following that, keynote addresses would be delivered by Yash Chopra, Chairman, FICCI Entertainment Committee, Yashraj Films; Kunal Dasgupta, Co-Chairman, FICCI Entertainment Committee, and CEO, Sony Entertainment Television; and Asha Swarup, Secretary, I&B Ministry.
In the past, Frames has been addressed by eminent personalities such as Paolo Gentiloni Silveri, Minister of Communications, Government of Italy; Dan Glickman, President and CEO, MPAA; Barrie Osborne, Producer of 'Lord of the Rings' triology; Tom Freston, President and CEO, Viacom; James Murdoch, Chairman, STAR Group; Michael Grindon, President, Sony Pictures International Television; Mark Zoradi, President, Buena Vista International; Andy Bird, President, Walt Disney International; and Stewart Till, Chairman, United International Pictures, among others.
This year, too, sees a fair representation of the international personalities at the Frames with Stewart Beck, Assistant Deputy Minister, Investment, Innovation and Sectors, Foreign Affairs and International Trade, Canada; Dominique Dreyer, Ambassador of Switzerland to India; and Viviane Reding, European Commissioner, Information Society & Media, European Commission, as guests of honour at FICCI Frames 2008.
This year, Frames would have a touch of Swiss magic with Switzerland as the partner country for the mega event.
There would be over 30 sessions across three days of the convention which would be split into six different tracks.
Frames this year would confer the FICCI Living Legend in Entertainment Awards on two popular actors of yesteryears – Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi. Kamal Hassan and Rekha were the recipients of these Awards last year.

Over 73% of corporate network devices analysed by Dimension Data during 2010 were carrying at least one known security vulnerability. This is almost double the 38% recorded in 2009. The data also revealed that a single higher risk vulnerability - PSIRT 109444 – which was identified by Cisco in September 2009, was found in a staggering 66% of all devices, and was responsible for this jump.
These are some of the key findings in the Network Barometer Report 2011 published today by the global specialist IT services and solutions provider. The Report covers aggregate data compiled from 270 Technology Lifecycle Management (TLM) Assessments conducted in 2010 worldwide by the Group for organisations of all sizes across all industry sectors. It reviews the networks' readiness to support business by evaluating the configuration variance from best practices, potential security vulnerabilities, and end-of-life status of those network devices.
"Given the pressure that organisations are under from regulatory bodies, consumers and their executive to protect customer information and privacy, as well as sensitive business information from both cyber criminals and competitors, it's hard to believe that they would knowingly expose themselves to this level of risk", says Neil Campbell. "The truth of the matter is that many organisations still don't have consistent and complete visibility of their technology estates. In fact, previous research not related to the Network Barometer Report carried out by Dimension Data found that clients are unaware of as much as 25% of their networking devices."
But it's not all bad news. While discovery processes may be falling short of the market, Campbell said that apart from the one security vulnerability on 66% of devices, organisations are trying to up their game with regards to remediation. According to the Report, the TLM Assessment results showed that if PSIRT 109444 was taken out of the equation, organisations had patched fairly well: the next four vulnerabilities were found in less than 20% of all devices.
A PSIRT is a software vulnerability that has been identified by Cisco's Product Security Incident Response Team. Each PSIRT identifies a unique IOS vulnerability based on extensive lab testing and research by Cisco.
However, as the prevalence of PSIRT 109444 illustrates, a pervasive threat can occur literally overnight. "It only takes one vulnerability to expose the entire organisation to a security breach, so organisations must do much more if they want to adequately protect themselves," says Campbell. "This includes increasing the number of regular network scans to ensure that any vulnerability is picked up before it causes serious business continuity, compliance failure, or reputational damage."
Could just one security vulnerability really put an organisation at this level of risk? "Absolutely," Campbell says. "To a hacker, a security vulnerability is equivalent to leaving one's front door unlocked. And attempting to exploit vulnerabilities is usually the first port of call when initiating an attack. That's because it may provide the hacker with full access to the device, which he could use as a launch pad to initiate further attacks internally.
"Organisations which are not ahead of the game when it comes to knowing and protecting themselves against the latest threats are playing a Russian Roulette of risk, and could be looking at a medium- to high-risk security threat like PSIRT 109444, and be at risk of a security vulnerability that falls into the extreme - or even critical - category."
Other significant findings in the Report include:
* the percentage of network devices past last-day-of-support has dropped dramatically from 31% last year to 9% in the 2011 results;
* the percentage of devices past end-of-sale which are in 'late stage' end-of-life sits at 47%, but there's some evidence that organisations are more aware of where to draw the line when it comes to risk.

I have had several requests from friends and followers asking me to give my opinion on National Bank of Greece (NBG). The question that has been asked of me is if it's a good idea to buy the stock at current prices for the long term. There are many important parameters to take into consideration, and unfortunately most of it is guesswork.
Is the current funding enough?
The current capital increase will put the banks balance sheet once more in the black. The bank currently has a negative 2 billion euro book value, so the 9.7 billion euro capital increase will raise the bank's net book position to about 7.7 billion euros.
If we look at the balance sheet (3/31/2013), the bank has about 70 billion euros in loans and 60 billion in deposits. so there is still a funding gap. At the same time however things seem to be improving, the bank posted a small profit and deposits have increased. Current provisions against bad loans are about 7.7 billion euros. While this may seem a very big number (and it is), the question is, is it enough?
Let me give you one reason for this. Bank repossessions have been frozen in Greece since 2009 (and are to continue been frozen at least until 2015). As a result, banks are unable to repossess properties and liquidate then in order to get their money back. However, as a result of the economic stress on the economy, many properties are worth a whole lot less than what they were 2-3 years ago. This is not portrayed on the bank's balance sheet, because these loans are carried at face value.
As an example, I have a friend who took out a 40 year mortgage of 250,000 euros about 6 years ago. He has been unable to make payments for the past 2-3 years or so. Today the his balance due on his loan is about 260,000 euros, but the property is not worth more than 100,000 euros in the best case scenario. NBG carries 23.3 billion euros in mortgages, 18 billion euros in Greece.
According to the most recent data, about 300,000 mortgage holders were behind on their payments. The Greek Banking Institute (the official bank lobbying group in Greece), says that current mortgage NPLs are about 15 billion euros. However this is also misleading, because many loans have been refinanced -- rolled over -- for the sole purpose of not registering as NPLs.
It's common knowledge that many corporate loans are also being rolled over as to not register as NPLs. There is not a single bank executive that I have talked to that has not told me that this practice is not mainstream among banks.
Moody's also has reservations. According to a report dated April 18, Moody's confirms the negative outlook on the Greek banking sector and adds:
Moody's says that the deep and prolonged economic contraction will further increase already very high levels of non-performing loans (NPLs), exerting additional pressure on the stressed banking system. Declining domestic purchasing power and liquidity, compounded by the impact of government spending cuts and increasing unemployment, will continue to weaken the repayment capacity of banks' retail and corporate customers. Within this context, Moody's expects that (1) NPLs will likely exceed 30% of gross loans by end-2013 (from 24.6% in December 2012); and (2) the banks will remain loss-making in 2013 and in 2014.
Further downside risks stem from the banks' sizable portfolios of Greek Government securities. Although the banks have reduced these holdings to around EUR18.5 billion in December 2012 from EUR44.9 billion in December 2011, Greek Government securities still comprise approximately 87% of the banking system's pro-forma Tier 1 capital. Greece's government bond rating of C indicates that the probability of a Greek sovereign re-default remains elevated, which could imply further substantial losses for the banks.
I agree 100% with this assessment. Furthermore, the talk of the town these days is that Greece needs additional debt relief. The IMF in a recent report describes the many mistakes done in Greece and adds -- what everyone already knows -- that the country needs additional debt relief. My question is, will the official sector take a hit and leave the private sector untouched? I doubt it. While I have been calling for an OSI even before the recent PSI, in the end I think private holders of Greek debt will take another hit before the official sector comes to the plate. That might mean additional write-downs for Greek banks.
As of April 29, Moody's baseline credit assessment for NBG is caa3. In addition, on June 3, 2013, Moody's also said that it expects continued bank asset quality deterioration for the Greek banking sector, despite Greece's improving economic sentiment.
The macroeconomic landscape
The Hellenic Statistical Authority said the Greek economy shrank by 5.6 % in the first quarter of this year, according to figures published by on Friday. The drop is more than the May 15 initial estimate of 5.3 percent. The IMF forecasts that Greek GDP will fall by 4.2% before output expands in 2014. The OECD however expects no expansion in 2014 and forecasts output will fall by another 1.2%. If the OECD is conformed, Greece will probably be the only economy on record that will have endured seven straight years of economic contraction in times of peace (and probably war).
While someone can look at this and come to the conclusion that the Greek economy has eaten the horse and all that remains is the tail, the reality of the matter is that even if economic output in Greece is stabilized, it does not necessarily mean the economy will expand. However even if the economy stabilizes and we do get some increase in output, this will be a drop in the bucket compared to the carnage done so far. At the margin, it will not make much of a difference.
So far Greece's GDP has fallen about 25%, with unemployment at 27% and with a debt burden that even today can't be serviced. Is it possible for the economy to recover without a drastic reduction in unemployment? The answer is probably no. There are no estimates whatsoever that project unemployment falling to 10% anytime soon. At least I have not seen any. Given that the troika (ECB, IMF, European Commission) have been wrong on just about everything with respects in forecasting the current situation, even if they projected unemployment falling soon, it would not be credible. Please keep in mind that the current situation in Greece is far worst than the Great Depression the U.S. went through in the 1930s'. And if you recall, it took World War II to get the U.S. out of the Depression.
The everyday situation in Greece
About 50% of the total population and private companies owe the government past-due taxes. Many small businesses and individuals have been devastated as a result of the recent tax raid in Greece. To give you a small taste of the madness that characterizes the Greek political establishment, next year, in addition to the normal amount of tax paid, small business owners and companies will also pay in advance next year's tax, to the tune of 90% of the current year's tax. For some reason the government thinks it can use the private sector as a cash flow piggy-bank.
About 58 billion euros in taxes are past-due (30% of GDP). Just this year alone, past-due taxes increased by about 3.1 billion euros. Since about 50% of the total population owes back taxes, this year alone, 50% of the Greek population owes an additional 620 euros more in past-due taxes (not counting the total tax due).
About 40 of 58 billion euros are uncollectable, however the government insists keeping these figures on its balance sheet, because if some politician were to make the case to write these sums off, there would be populist political backlash from the political opposition. In the meantime, the government owes the private sector about 8 billion euros.
NBG might be too rich
Even, after the capital increase at NBG and assuming the stock stays at current levels (around 4.30 euros), it will have a market cap of around 10.5 billion euros. That's a 20-30% premium to book value. Even many U.S. banks like Citigroup (NYSE:C) that are in much better financial condition, don't have that kind or premium. In fact every major U.S. and European money-center bank has a P/B discount except Well Fargo (NYSE:WFC).
Concluding thoughts
While recent data has showed that sentiment in Greece has gotten better, the reality is that after so many years of hardship, you get use to the situation and even the slightest improvement will make you feel better, even if your situation does not change much.
As for NBG, I think the current capital increase will prove not to be enough and further capital will be needed in the future. And if I am correct, that will mean more dilution for current shareholders.
The fact that the bank is currently trading at a premium, is also another reason why I don't think the stock is a good long term investment at current levels.
Finally, while the current offering has been fully subscribed to, the fact that the stock is trading at the current offering price (4.3 euro's) and the rights have gone from 4.5 euros to almost absolute zero in seven days, is not indicative that the market is very positive on the stock.

Today, my teenage son taught my five-year-old daughter how to fake her own death. I walked into the kitchen today to find her lying still on the floor, covered in ketchup. She laughed when I began to scream. FML

Sunsilk Gang of Girls (GOG) initiative has won several awards and recognitions for its idea as well as execution. One of the recognitions has gone to a small online agency called bcwebwise. Chaya Brian Carvalho, CEO and MD, bcwebwise, notes that this association with Levers for Sunsilk GOG has played a part in helping the agency reach where it is today.
Based on the knowledge of the B2B model from the GOG experience, the agency has moved forward from an ad revenue based business with their community portal Tips4me.com, to start offering web communication solutions.
While agreeing that the digital marketing industry in the country was small compared to the traditional media as the number of users available online was much smaller than those available offline, Carvalho stressed that the way in which web could deliver for a brand was at a different level altogether. "This aspect of the Internet is being increasingly recognised by many companies. Every year, the number of companies who want to use the medium is increasing, quantitatively as well as on the basis of deliverables from it," she explained.
Elaborating more on the work put in behind the Sunsilk GOG project, Carvalho observed that the portal was conceptualised designed and developed by them in around six months. It was beta tested over 3 months with around 10000 girls who frequently visited the earlier brand site www.sunsilkindia.com before it was launched in June last year. "The portal delivers for the brand in many ways, including brand building, consumer research, and its own opt-in database," she added when questioned on the deliverables from the same for the brand.
"Using this medium, a brand can start developing a one-on-one relationship with the consumer instantly. But it is not necessary that an Orkut kind of networking community needs to work for everyone," noted Carvalho.
Speaking about the hindrances facing the medium that restricted the entry of some advertisers, she explained, "It's a slightly challenging medium to grapple with. You don't know what all you can do using this medium and I think that is one of the biggest hindrance. Second is, 'Do I still need the medium?' as there is no clarity on how many users will really use the medium to access information about us."
Carvalho felt that by 2010, there would be a real shift of advertisers on to the medium. "The shift may be not just due to the penetration, but also because the power of the medium will be more visible. The number of people who are accessing information about your brand through blogs and other methods will surely be able to see concrete results by the year 2010," she maintained.
"Hence, by 2011 or 2012, as a brand manager you will start seeing patterns in the marketing reports that will be influenced by your presence or non-presence in the online medium," added Carvalho.
Currently working with a cache of clients that includes some international as well as domestic majors in various industries, the agency has also ventured into mobile application design and development.

I set up my test environment in accordance with http://pulpproject.org/ug/UGDevelopment.html#setup
I enabled the Testing repositories so the dependencies for F15 were available.
I adjusted the ACLs on the build directories as suggested to allow apache access to the in-development versions of the files.
I configured the explicit local machine name in the configuration (and in /etc/hosts)
However, when I go to enable the service, httpd fails to start. If I use pulp-dev.py to remove the symlinks, then the default Apache page appears correctly so httpd itself appears to be OK.
Any suggestion on what I may be doing wrong? Regards, Nick. -- Nick Coghlan Engineering Operations, Brisbane

Voyeur : September 2009
DJARRAGUN COLLEGE S JEAN ILLINGWORTH IS HELPING TO GIVE INDIGENOUS KIDS A GOOD EDUCATION. What is the college's main objective? We believe we're contributing to the creation of an indigenous middle class. We need to make sure that Australian indigenous people take their rightful place in society -- that we have more indigenous people in politics, at universities, and as the professionals of Australia, because we need more indigenous leaders. The only way they can become effective leaders is to have an education behind them, which is where we come in. What steps have you taken to achieve that? We spent time getting to know the students and understanding the challenges they were facing. Then we had to create a place that was stimulating enough for them to actually want to be here. We also implemented a strict discipline policy, but we did it with a lot of love and respect so the students knew we were genuine. It was important for them to know we were tough and expected respect, but that we would also turn ourselves inside out to help them. Which age groups does the college cater for? We start from pre-prep (three-year-olds), through to students in their 20s who are doing post-schooling courses in vocational education. We have a jobs pathway program and students can study and board with us until they have secured their employment. We've placed four of our past students at the International College of Management in Sydney, and we have another student who has just started at the University of New South Wales. It means that they're not on their own after they finish high school. What education model do you use? It's the regular Queensland curriculum. In our senior school we have a small academic stream of eight or nine students, and we have many students who still do maths, English and science, but have a larger focus on learning a practical trade. A lot of our senior students have missed heaps of schooling throughout their primary years. We can teach them to read and write, but they can't catch up completely in a few years. Why do they tend to have missed so much schooling? Indigenous parents are highly mobile, and may decide that they are going to go back to live in their [remote] community for six months. While the child is there they might not go to school at all. It's very hard to bring the kids back to the school and expect them to pick up where they left off. We have some very bright primary school students who are going to wow the rest of the world, but the challenge is to keep them regularly attending school. Does the college accept public donations? We're desperate for them. We're an independent school, not a state one, so we get less funding from the state government, and most of our students come from situations of poverty, so their parents cannot afford school fees. For more information, visit www.djarraguncollege.qld.edu.au or to donate, call +61 7 4043 3777. Virgin Blue is a proud sponsor of Djarragun College. 116 VIRGINBLUE

Melbourne: With the first-ever international cricket match in a covered stadium passing without a hitch in the Colonial Stadium, the weather gods have been shut out from the game. Besides unveiling the future look of sports arenas, the first game of the historic three-match Super Challenge 2000 series also gave rise to some queries as to the future of cricket itself. The next logical step for international cricket is being hotly debated in cricket circles here.
Like numerous others, Australian captain Steve Waugh is of the opinion that soon, Test cricket would be played under lights and in covered stadiums. "I don't see any reason why not. I think the one problem cricket has at the moment is that even if you get a sunny day when it's been raining the previous night you still can't play," he said before the match on Tuesday. "If you've got the roof closed you can have a game of cricket. I think that's important for spectators and for players when they want a result," he said. "I think it's the way forward for cricket, it's an exciting concept and I don't think it will be too long before we see Test matches indoors," the Australian captain said. Later, Waugh put his approval on the match with an unbeaten 114.
However, the first indoor One-day match was not without its share of teething problems. The bowlers run-up had to be given a generous sprinkling of saw dust as the area there still retained water. The respective 12th men, Australian Andrew Symonds and his South African counterpart Boeta Dippenaar, had to rush to the field on numerous occasions with brushes to clean the bowlers' shoes of mud. Ian Chappel, commentator for Channel Nine television network, pointed out that the ball was not swinging as much as it would under normal circumstances. He blamed the absence of wind and relatively less moisture in the atmosphere for this phenomenon. Shane Warne, the lone spinner on view, would not complain against such condition as it suited his kind of bowling. Crowds, interestingly, stayed away from this historic occasion. The fresh-looking stands were largely empty even after office hours.
Around 25,000 cricket followers were present in the stadium when Australia registered yet another One-day match win, beating the Proteas by a comfortable 94-run margin.The stadium can accommodate 55,000 spectators. Live coverage of the epoch-making event by Channel Nine is said to be one of the reasons for the dismal turnout. In fact, an eye on television ratings is said to be the main reason for keeping the stadium capacity low. The planners reportedly kept the total capacity of the arena also called Dockland Stadium, to about 55,000.
This is less than half of what the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) can hold. The MCG can accommodate up to 120,000 spectators. Australian rules football clubs are already complaining about this as some of their fiercely contested club clashes attract crowds in the vicinity of 80,000-90,000. The low capacity means they are denied of the extra ticket revenue. India Abroad News Service.

Video games and their consoles are forever changing. Endless technological upgrades mean that whatever seemed out-of-this-world five years ago can seem ever-so-dated today. In the world of gaming, there are four main contenders. Microsoft brings Xbox to the table, Sony brings PlayStation, Nintendo has its Wii, and of course, there is PC gaming as well. As video games are designed to be compatible with only one type of console, it makes sense to shop for games by platform. Handily, eBay has that covered. With thousands of video games for sale, eBay has a huge range of video game options for all the big platforms. Anyone shopping for games for a particular console can refine their search to find games for the Sony PlayStation 2 or Sony PlayStation 3, for the Nintendo Wii, PC or Microsoft Xbox 360. For gamers who prefer games created by a particular brand, this can be used to refine a search as well, with options by the likes of Nordic Games, ZOO Digital Publishing and Tubby Games. Need games with a specific region code? No worries, simply refine by region code to find games made for the US and Canada, China and Japan, or even region free.

Love action and adventure? Like first person shooter? Adore role playing games? Video games cover almost every aspect of life – with a fair chunk of fantasy in there as well. For anyone who loves a certain type of video game, it makes sense to check out what's available in each particular genre. Sports are hugely popular in video games, allowing players to try out their tactics and team player skills. From soccer to ice hockey, basketball to golf, there are video games that cover the lot. FPS is another popular category, with big name games such as Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty and Doom bringing out brand new versions on a regular basis. When it comes to role playing, these games provide players with an escape, in the form of such games as Pokémon and Final Fantasy. Prefer some action and adventure? This is where popular games such as Assassin's Creed come into play.

Sunday started early with a scarlet sky and a temperature over zero. Maybe our first such morning of the year. Though even in the icy freeze, I see our rooftop rudbeckia is coming back into bloom.
It has been much too cold to dig (still is), or do very much at the plot except sit and admire the brave new beans and onions, though the pigeons seem to be attacking the early peas as soon as they rear their delicate heads.
The soil was stil frozen yesterday but I was keen to follow Caroline Foley's sage advice and move the last of Roger Pauli's wonderful cow manure closer to the plot. And it gave me a chance to use my Christmas present (mostly to myself though the kids chipped in): a shiny new spade from the nice people at Implentations. Astonishingly beautiful though it is, have been keen to muck it up a little (been a bit like having a brand-new red Ferrari sitting in the street).
So I had a very happy few hours in the afternoon, lifting and cutting though the cold manure and filling barrow after wonderful wormy barrowful and trudging it up the slope to its new home on the pumpkin patch. Was a wonderful feeling to be working and sweating at the allotment again. Have missed it. A lot.
Anyone else been out working this weekend? And any news of any potato fairs? We normally go to the London one every fourth Sunday of January but yet to hear it's on. Anyone know more about it?

text: Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi turned Egyptian politics on its head on Thanksgiving eve with his now familiar style of governance: a unilateral, surprise decree, the fourth of its kind since Morsi assumed his position in June. Each of these decisions has proceeded with little to no consultation and, regardless of their intent, each proclamation was notable for carving out further and broader authorities for the executive. The common thread linking these decisions is the majoritarian lens though which the Muslim Brotherhood understands political life and democratic politics -- one which bodes ill at this foundational moment when Egypt is attempting to refashion its social compact and establish a sustainable constitutional and political order.

Civilian Space Travel
Persuasive Essay
Space is certainly an amazing place. But getting into a space shuttle up there is no easy matter, especially for civilians. The training is extensive and very long, and the trip can cost way too much money. A civilian will take away from an astronaut who has worked his or her whole life for this. Civilians should not be able to go into space.
The training takes an extensive amount of time, and can take a lot out of someone. You need to be very fit, active, have a certain weight, good health, and have to be comfortable in this new environment. Many civilians do not have the endurance that the professional astronauts and scientists have, and will most likely be ready to quit before even leaving the atmosphere.
NASA needs money! No longer being funded by the U.S. government, NASA earns its money through private corporations. Everyone should know by now that civilians are not millionares. The cost for the shuttle to be made is larger than you would think, and don't forget about the costs of the training and the equipment. If you put those three costs together, you wouldn't think that any civilian has that kind of money.
Going into space is a once in a lifetime opportunity, but a civilian is so inexperienced and so little informed about space, that it would be a shame to waste that chance to study life outside the atmosphere. Professional scientists and astronauts have been studying their whole lives and have been waiting for a chance like this to come up. How can we take that chance away from them like that?
With the costs being too high, the long and tough training requirements, and the chance to study space being taken away from the professionals, civilian space travel should not be allowed.

My daughter recently moved to Placid, and I visited her last week. I had been there in the summer and had been disappointed in the food, esp the Mirror Lake Inn which you all got right as not particularly good or fun. This time I read the postings and got some very good food.
Verandah was best Cozy and warm, with exc service, the food is not very creative (altho I loved the carrots, an extraordinary thing for me to say), but beautifully executed. Also great views in daylight. I would be most happy to have this resto in Baltimore where I live. (We tried to go to Interlaken on the recs, but it was booked up.)
Lake Placid Brew Pub. Fine burgers and superb home brew. Very casual, really enjoyable.
Black Dog. Short menu, fine ingredients. Generally well done, but the chef got carried away with the sauces, which we found over-powering on the chicken and lamb dishes--tuna was exc., however. Also really good and filling potato soup.

Author has written 2 stories for Final Fantasy X-2.
I haven't been on this site in a really long time and, honestly, most of the stories I wrote were when I was like 15 and are kinda lame so if anything, the only project that I would most likely try to continue is Lips of An Angel. Sorry, thanks for reading and all your reviews though.
