Question about Apple iMac G5 Desktop
Posted by opalx1v on
Actually the screen with a folder and a ? Is either a hard drive failure or the comps inability to read OSX. The OSX install disks wouldn't have overwritten the HD, it's a matter of tracking down the old files, which really depends on the op system. But I'm assuming if you've got install disk, you've got snow leopard, lion didn't ship with disks. Make sure you're running 10.6.9 with latest updates before you try either of these, and keep in mind apple utilizes a "forked filing system" so about 65% or more of their files are hidden from the user. You want to recover your hidden library files, through one of these 2 ways; using simple commands in the utility terminal or thought a free app (which requires 10.6.9.

Simply copy and paste the codes below into Terminal and press the Enter key. Enter this code to show the hidden files & folders: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles YES Enter this code to hide the hidden files & folders: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles NO Permanently show the Hidden Library Folder When Apple released OS X Lion they decided they wanted to hide the Library folder.

I called the Mac hotline for service and they were only helpful in telling me to reload my startup disks. They told me my mac was processing for hours on end till i was able to determine it wasnt and wasted 2 days. Regardless I loaded my Mac disks and was able to bring my system back-only I wasn't able to back up my prior settings and some documents since I couldn't bring up the system without wiping it out first-I''m still fishing out what survived and what didn't. Thank you for contacting me. If you have any suggestions as how to retrieve lost info i would greatly appreciate it.

Your hard drive has crashed. you will need to get another mac either laptop or other and a firewire cable and plug in to your existing make and back it up. When you start your existing mac hit "T" at start up which will make it a giant external hard drive. The mac you bring in to help you can either back up your mac or run disc doctor to see if you can fix the hard drive faults. But one thing is for certain, you need to replace the hard drive.

- "Oh don't give me none more of that Old Janx Spirit
No, don't you give me none more of that Old Janx Spirit
For my head will fly, my tongue will lie, my eyes will fry and I may die
Won't you pour me one more of that sinful Old Janx Spirit"
- —An ancient Orion mining song[src]
Janx Spirit - almost exclusively referred to as "That Old Janx Spirit" - is an extremely potent alcoholic beverage, and is used heavily in drinking games that are played in the hyperspace ports that serve the madranite mining belts in the star system of Orion Beta.
The game is not unlike the Earth game called Indian Wrestling, and is played like this:
- Two contestants sit at either side of a table, with a glass in front of each of them
- Between them would be placed a bottle of Janx Spirit.
- Each of the two contestants would then concentrate their will on the bottle and attempt to tip it and pour spirit into the glass of his opponent - who would then have to drink it.
- The bottle would then be refilled. The game would be played again. And again.
Once you started to lose you would probably keep losing, because one of the effects of Janx Spirit is to depress telepsychic power. As soon as a predetermined quantity had been consumed, the final loser would have to perform a forfeit, which was usually obscenely biological.
Ford Prefect usually played to lose.
Janx Spirit is mentioned several times during the Hitchhiker's series, such as:
- Chapter 1 of the Douglas Adams novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Behind the scenesEdit
Ol' Janx Spirit also appears in the Star Wars universe, featuring in MedStar II: Jedi Healer and the novel The Force Unleashed II.

How many times each day do you try to work yourself up to tackle some undesirable task? If you're like me – several times. For instance, I've been refining my Four Tendencies Quiz. Almost 500,000 people have taken the quiz — which is extraordinary — and I've made adjustments to it, along the way, to make it better. Analyzing the Quiz results takes a very different kind of brain work from the kind that I usually do — and it's not the kind of brain work I like to do. And so I put off that work, and put it off, and put it off. And then when I finally do the work, I get through it quickly and am so relieved to have it done. So why procrastinate? If you face a similar struggles, try these strategies: 1. Put yourself in jail. If you're working on something that's going to take a long time, and you have the urge to try to rush, or to feel impatient, pretend you're in jail. If you're in jail, you have all the time in the world. You have no reason to hurry, no reason to cut corners or to try to do too many things at ...

Tim Robbins is a Hollywood liberal who has no regard for Nation audience members!
Appearances On The Colbert ReportEdit
November 17, 2005Edit
Stephen warmly welcomed Robbins for his first appearance on The Report but was immediately forced to nail him for his politics, which are killing America by inches.
Robbins and Dr. Colbert discussed his play Embedded, which is an indictment of what he believes are "lies" used by the government in the run-up to the Iraq War. It is set in Fantasyland.
This appearance prompted one of The Report's most famous exchanges:
- ROBBINS: I-I've been meaning to ask... uh... Colbert? Is that... is that French?
- STEPHEN: Oh, it's French, bitch.
October 31, 2006Edit
In a homoerotic outburst upon seeing Dr. Stephen Colbert for the second time, Robbins trashed the broadcast studio and attempted to spread his gayness to audience members by slapping their bare flesh.
The homoerotic moment continued - some might say climaxed - when Robbins implied that Dr. Colbert had "Foleyed" him. With a heterosexual reference to his commie wife Susan Sarandon, his gay agenda seemed to cool down as Stephen punched his frequent guest card, but from now own Robbins will always be remembered by the Nation as that gay Timmy.
The Dr. acknowledged having watched the trailer for Timmy's movie, Catch A Fire, about the real life story of Patrick Chamusso where he plays a white agent in the South African Anti-Terrorism Department. And the Dr. did offer the grace to say the trailer "looked fantastic." Dr. Colbert was forced to nail Timmy for what he did in the movie, however, including wanting to revive apartheid in South Africa, and illegally arresting and torturing black people. If he didn't actually believe in these things, why would he play a character who does them?
Timmy doesn't know Latin, hence he was nailed again. (Needs frequent nailing card). No doubt his hair will grey even further after the multiple nailing he took that night! Hopefully the Nation can all learn though through Dr. Colbert's example and practice safe nailing (with your pants on).

Saddest Anime Episode: Ace Dies
Well, Episode 483 is out! In my opinion, this is the saddest episode in the entire series (sad as in "tear-jerking", not as in "disappointing"). Since it was an anime episode, it was capable of more drama than its manga counterpart, Chapter 574. Now, don't get me wrong, the chapter was very shocking and twisting when I first read it, but the anime made it so much sadder than the manga ever could. Now tell me, what does everyone think about Episode 483, where Ace dies in Luffy's arms? I personally nearly cried (though I managed to hold back tears; after all, I don't really cry anymore).

I did this recording live, but i didn't have the vocals seperately, so i've recorded a new vocal recording to share here as a Pell… Its not the same recording as when i was singing and playing the guitar, but one that i did trying to match the speed of singing while listening to the initial guitar/vocal recording…
Do let me know if this is discouraged, I'll retract the upload..

|DO NOT REPLY [Bug 46125] New: Setting large cookies in the request causes Tomcat to abort the connection
|Thu, 30 Oct 2008 00:44:02 GMT
https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46125 Summary: Setting large cookies in the request causes Tomcat to abort the connection Product: Tomcat 6 Version: 6.0.18 Platform: Macintosh OS/Version: Mac OS X 10.4 Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: Catalina AssignedTo: email@example.com ReportedBy: email@example.com It is possible to store too many cookies, or cookies that are too large for the header to properly carry. That's not good web programming, but still, it is quite common when one is using a JS framework. If such a set of cookies is constructed and sent to Tomcat as part of a request, Tomcat panics and simply aborts the connection. This leads to a blank screen with no source code on the client's browser. Or, it leads to a cryptic error, like Safari's infamous "CFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 302" that drives many a newsgroup to tears trying to figure out what is going wrong with the server. Expected: return a '400 Bad Request error' like apache does. That would help the user know what is wrong with the request and help find a better resolution to the condition. I am attaching an HTML file that demonstrates this bug. Please run it in Tomcat and Apache as a comparison.

Florence Gigler's fourth child was supposed to be born on Christmas Day.
But Dec. 25 came and went, downstairs in the two-family house where the Giglers lived in Middle Village, Queens, and nothing happened.
Just before 5:30 the next morning, it began to snow.
The date was Friday, Dec. 26, 1947, and New York City was about to be buried under the heaviest snowfall in its recorded history.
Across the five boroughs, a fine white powder was spilling at a rate that soon dazzled even the meteorologists.
Toward evening, Florence Gigler's labor pains intensified.
In that city of long ago, the snow, falling at more than three inches an hour by late afternoon, whitened the tops of trolleys; it spread over the empty seats of Ebbets Field, where Jackie Robinson had broken baseball's color line with the Dodgers that summer; it delayed the sailing of the great Cunard Liner Queen Mary and set back crack trains like the Twentieth Century Limited.
The snow fell on the rooftops of now-vanished department stores like B. Altman's and Gimbel's in Manhattan and Loeser's and Namm's in Brooklyn.Continue reading the main story
And it spread up the great canyon of Broadway. Thomas Mitchell was starring in "An Inspector Calls" at the Booth, and Basil Rathbone and Wendy Hiller were in "The Heiress" at the Biltmore.
At the Capitol, Tommy Dorsey and his orchestra were playing. And in other movie theaters, you could see Danny Kaye and Virginia Mayo in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," Tyrone Power in "Captain From Castile" and Gregory Peck in "Gentleman's Agreement."
At the Copacabana night club, you could eat a three-course dinner and see the comedian Joe E. Lewis for $2.50.
The average salary, nationwide, was $2,589. That year the Dow topped out at 164.
In Manhattan, Harold Corwin, who worked for the First Sterling Corporation at 500 Fifth Avenue, at 42d Street, was getting ready to take the subway home to Brooklyn, to his wife, Dorothy, and their three daughters in a one-family home in Flatbush.
Harold Corwin went home via the BMT Brighton Line. He would ride from Manhattan to the Kings Highway station and walk the rest of the way. The whole trip took 45 minutes -- usually.
Outside Mrs. Gigler's house, the snow was falling, the baby was coming and family and friends realized there was going to be a problem getting Mrs. Gigler to the hospital.
"Everybody was up the tree," she says. "They didn't know which way to go."
Two ambulances responded, but the snow kept each two blocks from the house.
Mrs. Gigler's brother, Thomas Feyh, who lived upstairs, started shoveling. So did neighbors. "Everybody was out shoveling," Mrs. Gigler says.
Someone called the police.
When Mr. Corwin's train reached the Prospect Park station, he says, "We heard, 'All out!' and I said to the conductor, 'Is there a problem with the equipment?'
"He said: 'The problem is we are now above ground. We cannot go any further. The third rails are completely inundated with snow, and there are no trains running any farther out.' "
Mr. Corwin believed he might find a taxi or a bus. But no such luck. He was two and a half to three miles from home.
"And it was snowing like the devil."
He began to walk.
Eventually the police tramped a path to the Giglers' house.
There wasn't time to bring Mrs. Gigler to a hospital. Patrolman Royal C. Gardner of the Maspeth station went to work.
"The policeman was very nervous," Mrs. Gigler says. "It was his first delivery. I felt sorry for him, but he was a good egg."
Just about the time Mrs. Gigler's husband, John, walked in the door, the baby was born -- Mrs. Gigler's fourth girl.
Harold Corwin called his wife and told her he would be home in an hour and a half.
In fact, the trek took three hours. He arrived at 10 P.M.
"I took a little Cognac and she had dinner for me," he says.
The Giglers named the baby Sharon. Mrs. Gigler never saw Patrolman Gardner again. Later Mrs. Gigler had her fifth child, a boy.
Harold Corwin woke up on Dec. 27 feeling none the worse for his ordeal the night before.
His daughters wanted to go out and play in the snow. One of them threw a snowball. Mr. Corwin tried to dodge.
He twisted his back and spent the next five days on a plywood board in his living room.
"So that was my experience with that darn storm," says Mr. Corwin, who is 86 and wintering in Tucson, Ariz. "I remember it vividly."
Sharon Longstreet lives in Maspeth, Queens, a few blocks from her mother, who is 83. Neither has moved far from the old house. Sharon has heard the story of her birth many times.
"Oh, we all had a good laugh about it," Mrs. Gigler said, laughing. "We lived up to our name. We're a very happy family."
Last Monday morning in the blizzard of 1996, Mrs. Gigler says she looked outside: "When I saw all that snow, the first thing that came to my mind was: Gee, just like '47."Continue reading the main story

MILWAUKEE -- Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Donovan Hand left in the fifth inning Tuesday's 6-2 loss to San Diego with a right hand contusion. Hand was hit with a 96 mph fastball from Padres right-hander Tyson Ross in the bottom of the third inning and stayed in to pitch the top of the fourth before turning the ball over to Tyler Thornburg for the fifth inning. X-rays were negative on the hand, and the Brewers are hoping Hand will be able to make his next start Sunday in Colorado. "He still felt OK but he had no grip strength at all," Brewers manager Ron Roenicke said. "He's a guy that likes to rub the baseball and he couldn't do it. He got through that one inning. I appreciate him going back out there, but it was a little tough to send him back out there after that." Hand allowed seven hits in four innings, but allowed just two earned runs. Yonder Alonso drove in a run in the first inning on a two-out single and Will Venable hit a solo home run in the fourth inning. "There was a little swelling on the pinky side, but nothing major," Hand said. "After the fourth I just couldn't grip the ball any more, and the swelling went over to the other side. Just a smart thing. (I didn't) want to do something different pitching-wise and hurt something more. (I) didn't want to come out of the game. I had good stuff tonight and had a game plan that was starting to take effect. I didn't want to come out, but just to be on the safe side. There's no need to push it right now." There was an initial fear in Hand's mind that the X-ray would show some sort of break and cause an extended absence. "I was kind of worried about it," Hand said. "That's a tough place to get hit by 96 (mph). No matter how hard it is, that's a tough place to get hit. I got lucky there I feel. I pitch for a living. I kind of need that hand." Taking the loss, Hand dropped to 0-2 and his ERA rose to 3.41. Follow Andrew Gruman on Twitter

In 2007, as many as eight funds were launched that planned to invest overseas. All of them have performed very badly since inception. On an average, they have given returns as low as 0.1%. When they were launched, we had pointed out that these funds were not worth it
Retail Indian investors who believed that investing in funds that buy overseas assets will yield higher returns would have lost their faith in these funds after a long wait. Only three to four funds among the lot of 15 funds have been able to give double digit returns.
Funds such as Birla Sun Life Commodity Equities Fund-GPM, Birla Sun Life Commodity Equities Fund- GA, Birla Sun Life Commodity Equities Fund-GMC, and Mirae Asset Global Commodity Stocks, have given double digit returns of 16.2%, 26.4%, 18.1%, and 11.6 % respectively. All the others have given either a single digit return or negative returns, worse than a decent bank deposit.
In 2007, as many as eight funds were launched that planned to invest overseas. How have they done? All of them have performed very badly since inception. These eight funds on an average have given returns as low as 0.1%.These include ICICI Prudential Indo Asia Equity Fund-Ret with 2.6% return, Birla Sun Life International Equity Fund-Plan A (-0.7% return); Birla Sun Life International Equity Fund-Plan B
(-1.6% return); Kotak Global Emerging Market Fund (0.4% return), Fidelity International Opportunities Fund (8.7% return); Tata Indo-Global Infrastructure Fund (-7.5% return) and BNP Paribas China-India fund with -3.4% return.
When they were launched, MoneyLife had pointed out that these funds were gimmicks. Our advice was to stay away from these funds. Sure enough, most of these global funds have reported poor returns since inception.
Global markets have been beset with many problems in the past three years-a financial meltdown in the US, debt troubles of European countries, Icelandic volcanoes, the fall and rise of commodity prices etc. Concerns over Greece's debt overshadowed the tottering finances of Portugal, Spain and Italy. Global funds have not been able to ride this volatility.
International mutual funds were launched with the objective to invest in non-domestic securities markets throughout the world. Investing in international markets provides greater portfolio diversification and let you capitalise on some of the world's best opportunities, was the rationale behind these funds.
Fund managers believe that if investments are chosen carefully, international mutual funds may be profitable when some markets are rising and others are declining. How far is it true?
Funds that put your money in other countries don't necessarily offer another round of diversification. In fact, markets in countries around the world move in sync. In 2009-2010 (financial year), the Sensex was up by 77% while the MSCI Emerging Markets Index was up 74%. In 2010-2011, the Sensex was up by 10%, whereas the MSCI index was up by 14%. Non-correlated market movement is not easy to find. Indeed, this idea is a myth. This is because an enormous pool of global capital is sloshing around the world looking for a slightly higher return. Besides, funds are known to chase hot ideas and a hot market may burn their performance-sorry, your returns. You are exposed to all kinds of risks unique to different countries, plagued with their own set of issues.
Moneylife pointed out in an article (dated 3 June 2010) saying "Global funds are pure fads. When the commodity markets are shooting up, fund companies will launch commodity-focused equity funds. When the Chinese market is hot, they will launch a China fund. Take, for example, the launch in December 2007 of the Franklin Asian Equity Fund, when the Asian markets were hot property among fund managers, what with the abundance of decoupling and other hackneyed theories. Since inception, the Fund has given a 5.3% return. There will also be one or two funds that do well-whether out of luck or skill. But there is little logic in investing in foreign funds-as a category they are worth the risk.
Why are we being fed with increasing amounts of neurotoxins in our diet, in the name of processed foods, when the rest of the world is moving away from them? Pepsi and Coke will actually share the World Cup win on Saturday, as India and Sri Lanka fight for the crumbs
As we head in for the finals of the World Cup 2011, it is increasingly becoming apparent that the game is not just between India and Sri Lanka, but largely between Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola. This in itself would not have been a problem, sports need sponsors, and cricket has always had a long list of entities waiting to pay the bill.
How many of us can forget the fact that Benson & Hedges were the original sponsors here, and subsequently for some time Wills paid some of the bills too, until globally tobacco companies were prevented by law from sponsoring sports. The rest of the world had by then banned tobacco advertising in sports, but India was amongst the last bastions to fall, and given half a chance, subliminal and crony as well as covert advertising for tobacco products still continues- awards for bravery, for example, as well as ranges in clothing and soaps being a common subterfuge.
But face facts, smoking is increasingly becoming socially unacceptable in India, and about time too.
How long before this good sense reaches those who make and implement our laws, as far as carbonated coloured sweetened beverages using chemicals for constituents which are certainly not good for our health are concerned? To ban fizzy colas/orange/lemon and clear flavoured bottled & fountain served waters with bubbles in them (also called "soft drinks") in India? By rights, this is overdue, and should have happened yesterday, as is already happening in the developed countries we look up to in so many other ways. If it has not, then it is simply because the machinery that propels this momentum forward is huge, and comprises of not just the manufacturers but also their advertising companies, their PR companies, their bought out medical associations, and the whole nine yards as far as the rest of them are concerned, anybody who would dare to try and stand up against them.
Except some of us, who seek information for the larger public good, and when faced with impediments-sink our teeth in even deeper. And therein lies a tale which shall evolve with time.
Experience has taught many of us that when those in power take extremely hyperactive steps to hide information, then it becomes all the more important to try and find out what they are hiding, since if this information was not likely to cause any problems to the larger good-then why would they want to hide the truth? To give a simple example, when I asked a simple question relating to the Commonwealth Games way back in early 2006, on how much did they actually spend on taking some actors and dancers to Melbourne, and got stonewalled at every step- that's when I realised that there was probably something hidden which was causing the people who took the effort to hide it some concern-so it was worth going after it.
That's what got the nation this judgement: http://www.indiankanoon.org/doc/465885/
Which subsequently opened the door for the accounts and numbers, as well as skeletons and scams, to come tumbling out in what is known as the "CWG scam".
The word being sought, if I remember my school maths correctly, is and was "fulcrum". And now with the help of Moneylife as well as others, I seek the fulcrum that will help me bust the great Coke & Pepsi game in India, which also goes by the names Aspartame, NutriSweet and Equal, amongst others.
If you have seen working terriers chasing small animals you will realise the whole concept-they don't want to eat that animal, they just want to know what that animal is up to-and if it appears to be damaging things, like rats and other animals do, then to get it out of the way. Sometimes they want to scare it so that it heads into a trap. Or moves out of its safe spot. Let's go back to these terriers. I quote an example: "Working terriers (Hunting types): Still used to find, track, or trail quarry, especially underground, and sometimes to bolt the quarry."
In other words, just the fact that somebody has started sniffing around is enough to push them to react. If we want to reach something, then we have to not just sniff it out-we have to be like terriers.
Which is what is happening as I start a new search and hunt for how this amazing drug, called "aspartame", has entered India's statutes as a sweetener instead of as a neurotoxin, and has started replacing real and simple sugar in everything from "soft drinks" to sweetmeats, biscuits, bakery products and even traditional products like halwa. All in the name of lower cost and higher sweetness. While trying to convince us that there is no difference.
But there is a big difference. Sugar in its various natural forms simply makes things sweeter, for natural or other reasons, and doesn't cause much harm beyond causing the obvious side effects of consuming too much sweet-which we already know about. Aspartame, on the other hand, even in extremely minute quantities, well below the levels found in a single can of Coke or Pepsi, diet or otherwise, is known to cause not just common ailments like headaches, dizziness, slurred speech and confusion. On the larger scale, however, it causes a vast variety of serious diseases-not the least of which are some forms of cancer, as well as serious issues for pregnant women, babies, chronic fatigue syndrome and brain damage as well as tumours therein.
As a matter of simple fact, a large number of Gulf War returnees (from the Kuwait-Iraq conflict) were diagnosed as having suffered from major neurological disorders, traced directly back to consuming litres and litres of "diet" soft drinks which had, before that, been transported and then lying in the hot conditions of the desert.
It is interesting to note that the summer is when the push to sell more cold drinks is highest in India. And that's also when truckloads of the stuff roll across, with the "soft drinks" undergoing a fair amount of exposure to extremely hot weather, which incidentally is one more issue with aspartame. You see, as temperature changes, aspartame changes its chemical composition, radically. So, that, as well as a few other reasons prompted me to file a fairly simple RTI (Right to Information) Application to the Ministry of Processed Foods in Delhi. Again, very close to where I live, walking distance actually.
Within a few days of my filing an RTI application with the Ministry of Processed Foods here in Delhi, even before I've got a formal response from them, I have received:
1) Phone calls from a PR company claiming to represent a company making a diet soft drink, lately advertising a lot as "University of this and that".
2) Veiled threats on social media from unknown entities whose pages on carbonated waters I have joined and commented on.
3) The usual bunch of evasive non-RTI type responses from the Ministry which are designed to deflect all but the most hardcore of RTI applicants.
4) And most interestingly, a huge collection of unasked for literature on the benefits of aspartame, AND a hamper full of soft drinks as a gift from somebody who did not leave a visiting card.
Aspartame started life as a new chemical warfare agent developed and used by the United States Armed Forces. It is apparently now an agent for infiltrating the Indian food chain. My series of RTI applications with the Government of India is going to try to find out how something like this became a legalised food component.
Meanwhile, it would be interesting to start getting certification from our halwais and bakeries on whether they use sugar or aspartame or other branded sweeteners that are actually carcinogenic chemicals, since we already knows what goes into our Coca Cola and Pepsi Cola, Diet and otherwise. It would also be interesting to ask our cricketers and others who endorse these soft drinks on what their families and children drink. I know-I once had this discussion with Kapil Dev, in the days when he used to endorse Thums Up-and he hasn't endorsed a cold drink since.
Central Information Commission gives directive on an RTI query by an applicant who was directed to individual ministries
The Central Information Commission (CIC) has said that information relating to air travel by union ministers-both domestic and international-should be maintained centrally by the cabinet secretariat.
The CIC made this observation on a Right to Information query by Delhi-based resident Subhash Chandra Agrawal, seeking information concerning air travel by Union ministers in the last three years.
The CIC said, "While we tend to agree with the submissions made by the respondents, we think that it would be in the interest of transparency if some key information about domestic and international travel by Union ministers could be maintained centrally in the cabinet secretariat itself, especially since the pay and accounts office under it is responsible for all accounting details for payment of the salary and reimbursement of their travel expenditure."
"We direct the central public information officer (CPIO) to bring this to the notice of the competent authority in the cabinet secretariat for appropriate action," the CIC said.
While hearing the matter, the respondents had clarified that "the desired information was not maintained in the form in which it had been sought and that a very large volume of records and documents would have to be scrutinised in order to collate the information and that would disproportionately divert the resources of the public authority."
Instead, it was argued that "the appellant could approach individual ministries and departments for the desired information, since travel details including the expenditure incurred on both domestic and international travel of ministers of the union government were available only with the respective ministry or department and not with the cabinet secretariat."
The CPIO had earlier informed Mr Agrawal that the information which he was seeking was spread across a number of ministries and departments of the central government and further, that he could seek the desired information from the respective CIPO. This decision was also endorsed by the appellate authority.
Speaking to Moneylife, Mr Agrawal said, "It is a well thought decision. Otherwise, such voluminous information couldn't be available. If they develop a software and put all these details on their website, anyone will be in a position to access it and thus there will be more transparency."

Never leave home without it.
Emmanuel Olenga's transcript could have doubled as the defensive end's American Express™ card on Saturday.
The Scout three-star prospect intended to give Tennessee and second-year coach Butch Jones a verbal commitment during his fifth trip to Knoxville last weekend but left the all-important documents back in Charlotte.
"Honestly, I was supposed to make my decision today, but I didn't bring my transcript. Forgot it. Paperwork thing," Olenga said.
The Olympic (N.C.) High School standout was on The Hill for the second "Orange Carpet Day" of the summer, spending more time with coaches and fellow recruits.
"It let me see the other side of Tennessee, get closer with the coach, bond more with the coach, get to see other recruits that I might be playing with. It was actually fun; I loved it," Olenga said.
"We bonded a lot. It was nice. It was nice."
The 6-foot-4 1/2, 240-pounder with 4.95 speed has a close relationship with Orange & White coaches.
"I'm very comfortable," Olenga said. "I feel like they're part of my family, and I can talk to them about practically everything. Yeah, I enjoyed it."
Even though he wasn't able to be commitment No. 23 for Tennessee's 2015 signing class, the D-end headed east with the Volunteers on top: "They're definitely No. 1."
"Nobody's touching Tennessee, not at all," he said.
"The coaches, what direction they're pointed, the direction they're pointing the program toward as far as academics, football and coach Jones always talks a lot about family. I really feel that's important to me also. I love it."
"Nobody's touching Tennessee, not at all."
— Emmanuel Olenga
For Olenga, who had a 2.6 grade point average in his spring semester and scored 25 on the ACT, being fully qualified academically is of no issue. Thus, a potential career at Tennessee might have been just a formality.
"I'm good to go. Just the paperwork. I should have brought it. I'd have been a Vol," he said.
Olenga plans to return to Rocky Top for visit No. 6 the weekend of the 2014 season opener. The Vols take on Utah State on Shields-Watkins Field on Aug. 31 at 7 p.m. Eastern.
With transcript in hand, does that mean a Labor Day weekend declaration?
"I'm not sure. I've still got to talk to my parents," Olenga said.

At the beginning of each school year, a local school district that accepts Title I, Part A funding must notify parents of students in Title I schools that they can request information regarding their child's teacher, including, at a minimum:
(1) whether the teacher has met the state requirements for licensure and certification for the grade levels and subject-matters in which the teacher provides instruction; and
(2) whether the teacher is teaching under emergency or their provisional status through which state qualification or licensing criteria have been waived; and
(3) the college major and any other graduate certification or degree held by the teacher, and the field of discipline of the certification or degree; and
(4) whether the child is provided services by paraprofessionals, and if so, their qualifications.
In addition, each Title I school must provide each parent timely notice that the parent's child has been assigned, or has been taught for four or more consecutive weeks by a teacher who is not highly qualified.
To receive any of this information, please contact Adrienne Stout, Assistant Director of Human Resources, at 918-259-5700.

Broken Arrow Public Schools (BAPS) would like to remind parents/legal guardians that the State of Oklahoma requires all students entering into kindergarten to have the following immunizations:
• 5 – DTP/DTaP
• 4 – Polio
• 2 - Hepatitis A
• 3 – Hepatitis B
• 1 – Varicella (Chicken Pox)
Students entering seventh grade are required to receive one Tdap booster for immunizations against tetanus, diphtheria and acellular pertussis. This is a booster to the DTP students received before kindergarten. Students will not be allowed to pick up their schedules without this immunization.
You are encouraged to contact your child's healthcare provider as soon as possible to arrange for these immunizations.
To assist in obtaining these immunizations to eligible students, BAPS is once again teaming up with the Caring Van program in August. A registered nurse will be available during the dates and times listed below to administer free immunizations to students who:
* Are eligible for SoonerCare (Oklahoma Medicaid)

Vintage Games A-Go-Go: Just how did teenagers amuse themselves before ye olde Snapchat? Why, with oodles of colorful and creative games and novelties, of course! Be the first researcher to explore our newly acquired collection of 19th century and Roaring Twenties-era games and mobile toys, including fancy French paper dolls, Charlie Chaplin ephemera, and educational games that actually encouraged the mixing of the sexes (basically, get ready for a major case of the vapors). Take a chance, explore centuries-old game theory, and learn about forgotten pop culture. You will totally end up a winner!
Travel, Plunder, Prejudice: The George Peabody Library has an amazing selection of books on travel and exploration dating to the Renaissance. These books revel in the excitement of discovery, but also reveal troubling views on the cultures that Western adventurers encountered. Travel through the centuries this year, and dive into a world of old maps, engravings, and ancient books and see what they tell us about cultural assumptions in the Age of Exploration.
Yearbook, Yearbook Evolution: Alas, the storied Hopkins yearbook ist kaput now, but its legacy is remembered in the hallowed halls of the Special Collections Reading Room, where yearbooks dating back to 1889 are lovingly kept. Swoop into vintage Blue Jay history and discover how the yearbooks evolved: what did students wish to remember through the ages and what kinds of changes to the content and format of the yearbooks were made? While you are at it, get a chuckle or two from all the proto-hipster facial hair on display!
Did You Hear The One About the Student Who Got Into Hopkins?: Believe it or not, but Baltimore used to be a major stop for comedians in the early 20th century (no, they didn't just swing by for a quick crab cake before yukking it up in a more glamorous locale). Thanks to two teenagers, the Ottenheimer Brothers, Charm City quickly became associated with cheap, popular, and ever-so-tawdry joke books. Guess what? We have a collection of their joke books! Why not have a laugh and explore the forgotten history of Ottenheimer Publishers and discover what tickled the funny bones of your ancestors!
The Shakespearean Legacy: The Garrett Library holds a number of early editions of the writings of Shakespeare, from the first four folio editions of the complete works, to quarto editions of three plays and 17th century titles attributed to or satirizing the Bard. Yet the library also holds modern illustrated editions, miniature editions, and children's editions as well. What, if anything, can be learned from these different presentations of canonical texts by perhaps THE canonical author for English literature? There are numerous angles to investigate, such as choosing one play and examining a variety of formats, looking at the treatment of the opus overall, focusing on how Shakespeare was edited for children, or even analyzing costume or staging!
Game of Dorms: Did you know that there were no dorms until 1923? So where (and how) did students find housing near the original campus and at Homewood? Student addresses were published in early University Registers, so it was pretty easy to see where your friends and enemies (!) lived. Use your GIS skills to chart downtown locations and see what areas were favored and speculate on why. What types of amenities did former students want to live by? How have things changed and stayed the same when it comes to finding a blue jay nest to call one's own?
|Not Lost in Translation: Love studying languages and solving mysteries? Then use your ever-growing foreign language skills to reveal the content of highly important, but rarely studied rare books held at the historic George Peabody Library. See if you can figure out why the books were important, what caused their downfall (Is it the Illuminati? Duh, it's always the Illuminati), and why they should be embraced by the masses once more! Collection strengths include works written in French, German, Italian, Latin, and Spanish.

Laurence Hall Fowler and the Baltimore War Memorial: In 1921, Laurence Hall Fowler won a national juried competition for the commission to design the monument that would serve as Baltimore's memorial to the soldiers and sailors of Maryland who fought in World War I. The building would subsequently become the monument to Maryland veterans of subsequent wars. How does the Baltimore War Memorial compare to those designed for other cities? What architectural precursors may have influenced Fowler's design choices? What function has the monument played in this "monumental" city's past and what function does it fulfill now?
Rachel Carson at JHU: Did you know that Rachel Carson,the prominent conservationist, marine biologist, and author of the Silent Spring, attended graduate school at Hopkins? Just what was Rachel Carson's graduate student experience like, and what was it like to be a graduate student in the early 1930s? What challenges did she face that other graduate students (men or women) did not have to deal with?
You will have access to Carson's extensive student file!
All the World's A Stage!: London experienced Great Exhibition fever in 1851 when Prince Albert showcased the best of England's industrial might and innovation at the first-ever world's fair! The Great Exhibition was so successful that it led to a plethora of world's fairs in which nations would put their cultural pride and achievements all on on display to the paying public. Our World's Fair collection includes materials from the very first exhibition, as well as as souvenirs, scrapbooks, photo albums, letters, and personal diaries from major international conventions held throughout Europe and the United States.

Lightweight skiwear can make a massive difference to your day. We've been working with our partners at Pertex and PrimaLoft - combining their fabrics and insulation to make our new skiwear as light as you can get, but still durable and warm.
In skiing you move differently from other sports. As a result our new ski pants and jackets are carefully cut and shaped to match people's skiing positions. They give extra room and stretch in the areas skiers need, like over the knees and around the elbows and shoulders. So even when you're crouching and turning, you'll never feel restricted.
Our range helps control your body temperature. It features multi-layers, breathable fabrics and heat reflective materials. Plus a clever take on venting, with easy-to-reach vents at the front instead of under your arms. All designed to keep you insulated at the top of the hill, cool at the bottom and free the whole way down.
Smučarske hlače Ridgeline Flex so popolnoma voodoporne in so odličen dodatek h kolekciji Ridgeline. PrimaLoft Silver izolacija v predelu kolen in zadnjice, ter Tricot podloga zagotavljata popolno zaščito in udobje v vseh razmerah. Kombinacija materialov Pertex Shield+ na zunanji strani in Pertex Equilibrium pa zagotavlja popolno svobodo gibanja. Hlače so opremljene z zračniki in nastavljivim pasom, za popolno prilagajanje potrebam smučark.

Responsibilities of Creativity
Necessity of Disclosure and Informed Consent
Arthur O'Leary, FAIA, MRIAI

Architects and engineers value creativity, originality, and innovation above all other virtues. We fervently strive to be at the cutting edge of design. We consider ourselves to be independent thinkers. We want to be leaders, not followers. Our creativity and ingenuity is rewarded by plaudits as well as envy from our peers and colleagues and sometimes, even praise from our clients.
For innovation to be truly of value, it must be responsible. It should be for the benefit of society and the community in the broad sense as well as advancement of the profession. However, the architect's immediate and overriding duty is to the client. The client should be helped, certainly not harmed, and should be the primary beneficiary of the architect's creativity and innovation.
Trail Blazing
Sometimes our novel creative ideas propel us into areas that haven't been completely explored. We boldly venture into uncharted regions of the unknown, untested, and unfamiliar. We risk the possibility of costly and embarrassing failure when we experiment with unusual forms and arrangements, new materials, daring new uses for old materials, unorthodox procedures, and imaginative techniques. These audacious forays into the unknown often expose us to the possibility of unexpected adverse side effects such as imperfect performance, unusual chemical reactions, dangerous stress concentrations, unforeseen leaking and sagging, excessive cost, or other catastrophic surprises, including at the extreme, collapse, personal injury, and loss of life.
Research and Investigation
Innovation cannot be completely avoided, however. It is necessary to bring new life and progress in design and construction. But, whenever we decide to stray from the worn and familiar path, we are required to do the necessary research, scrutiny, and analysis to assure that we know the characteristics and proper uses of materials and their realistic limitations.
The architect should apply thoughtful reasoning in carefully analyzing the phenomenon or proposed procedure to make sure that no known general principles are being violated. No innovation, no matter how clever, can ever overcome the law of gravity, the shingle principle, capillarity, galvanic corrosion, heat loss, thermal expansion and contraction, or any other of our immutable physical laws and principles. If a new material or process seems to be too good to be true, it probably is.
Innovation with Unfortunate Results
Regrettably, some original ideas do not work as well as we had hoped and expected. Whether we correct the miscalculations during the construction or afterwards, the additional costs will have been entirely unexpected and unaccounted for. Often the repair or reconstruction has to be done on an expensive trial and error basis. In some cases, the idea must be completely abandoned after the expense of inordinate amounts of time, hassle, and money. Very few clients would be favorably disposed to pay for the unbudgeted costs of repairing new construction that fails to live up to expectations.
Disclosure and Informed Consent
Architects know who is going to have to pay for the repairing and reworking of building defects caused by faulty design. It will be the client. Those who intend to use new or untested ideas should, at the very least, talk it over with the client before deciding to proceed. The architect should explain all of the known disadvantages as well as the perceived advantages. If the material or procedure is untested or has not been in existence long enough to have a proven track record, then the client should be made aware of this.
After a complete disclosure of the architect's intentions, the client should be asked for consent to proceed. Such consent will be worthless, however, even if in writing, in the absence of a complete and honest explanation of the unconventional or innovative proposal. The client must be made aware of all relevant information needed to give informed consent. If, after a reasonable explanation, the client will not give consent, then the innovation should be abandoned.
Written Consent
All risks should be explained in plain understandable language. If the client were agreeable to the architect's creative proposals, then it would be advisable to obtain the consent in writing. If the client is reluctant or refuses to give written consent before the construction is commenced, then this will give the architect a realistic prediction of the client's probable attitude if the brilliant idea backfires.
When an innovative design or procedure fails and causes extra expense, many clients would react by stating that they would never have approved the proposal if they had only known all of the realistic facts and risks in advance.
Controlling Subconsultants
Architects' engineering and other consultants sometimes include the use of innovative concepts, designs, or procedures without mentioning them, assuming that the architect may not be interested in the minor technical details of their arcane engineering specialty. The consultants should be advised that all proposed innovation must be discussed and disclosed to the client. If the client's consent cannot be obtained, the innovation should not be used.
If the new material or process is being offered by a vendor such as a contractor, installer, material supplier, or equipment manufacturer, the architect should ask for written warranties or other assurances of performance. Architects should not be hesitant to ask proposers' sales representatives for written indemnity and protection from the adverse consequences of using the new product or procedure.
The architect should not presume to judge the adequacy of warranty language, but should advise the client to have it evaluated by legal counsel. Most architectural service agreements provide that the client furnishes all legal services.
Effect of Innovation on Professional Liability Insurance
Architects who are contemplating the use of innovative or nonstandard designs or procedures should review the policy limitations and exceptions that could possibly reduce or eliminate indemnity coverage of errors and omissions.
Other Forms of Innovation
Architects can unintentionally mislead their clients by proposing the use of materials or firms that are not completely familiar to them. Specifiers should not include materials, processes, or equipment in their specifications if they are not aware of all relevant characteristics. Inclusion of a product name in the specifications is tantamount to an unqualified recommendation. The client is justified in assuming that the specifier has properly researched the specified item and concluded that it is appropriate in all material respects for the intended use.
Similarly, architects, when compiling a list of proposed bidders for a project, should realize that the client would rightly assume that each contractor on the list has been deemed suitable. The client's reasonable assumption would be that the architect has properly investigated each contractor's experience, qualifications, financial capacity, and reputation, or has had previous satisfactory experience with them. When including unfamiliar or unknown contractors on a list of prospective bidders, the architect should disclose this important information. The client can then decide whether or not to retain the names on the list or to authorize more investigation.
