Today we're pleased to announce the launch of the Dell Streak 10 Pro tablet in China, our first 10-inch Android Honeycomb 3.1 tablet that delivers on the promise of "Work Smart. Play Hard."
Dell is committed to delivering not just products but robust experiences that enable and empower people to grow and thrive and do more of what they love. And the Streak 10 Pro tablet does just that: It is designed for people who want to work and play all on one tablet – so you can be connected at home, at work and on the go – and yet rest assured that your personal and professional information are kept safe, secure and separate from one another.
The Streak 10 Pro enables work and play on the same device through an innovative, differentiated application called "Dell Work Profile," which delivers what its name suggests: A clear balance between your personal and professional information – the ultimate in yin and yang.
In work mode, you can have access to the corporate network, applications, without worrying that the IT department can see their family photos and personal email. In personal mode, you can stay connected with friends and family, store all your family photos on it and your entire music collection – all without compromising access to any sensitive work data. And, of course, it is the ultimate expression of "Consumerization of IT."
The Dell Streak 10 Pro is as elegant as it is useful. At barely an inch thick and with full Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity, it sports a blazingly fast dual-core nVidia Tegra 2 mobile processor, an expansion storage slot, and a 16GB storage option, making it easy to store all the critical work files you need or the movies, photos and more that you love.
It's robust enough for corporate-grade applications and use, and with up to 12 hours of battery life, you can take it out with you in the morning, and expect it to last nearly all day. And, as we all know, battery life is a big deal.
The 10-inch Android (Honeycomb 3.1) tablet is making its debut in China, and it will be available on Dell.com.cn and at Dell-authorized retail channels across the country in the next couple of weeks.
The fact that we're launching it in China first underscores the importance of China to Dell overall. More people are online in China than anywhere else in the world, and IDC estimates that more than 900 million people are expected to come online in China alone in the next 10 years.
We also have a significant retail presence in China, with thousands of Dell-authorized retailers in more than 2,000 cities – a footprint that helps us get even closer to people, understand what they are looking for, and to design experiences that help them pursue their passions.
Dell is committed to bringing new experiences to everyone – from consumers to small and medium businesses, to large enterprise customers. And we're bringing our conversations and insights with those customers – individual, large and small; public and private – to build the best mobile experiences that help people here in China – and eventually elsewhere – bridge work and life. In other words, we're committed to delivering "More You" in our products and services – and the Streak 10 Pro is just the latest example. Here are some key product specs, photos and price of the new Dell Streak 10 Pro Tablet: Hardware

I am awaiting this model to come to India...Could anyone tell me when we can expect the launch in India?
Right now, our plan is to offer the Streak 10 in China and use the experience there to shape future products.
See Amit Midha's post for a more detailed explanation.
What languages does it natively support? If it has English I'm going to head out and get one I've been looking to get one for awhile and most of the tablets here just don't impress me.
If not can I install an English version of Android?
Ok well 10 days is long enough if no one is going to answer or at least respond in that time they never will so Dell is scratched off the list. Looks like it's the Eee for me. Thanks for helping me decide dell :)
kilroy238: Sorry for the delay in responding. The Streak 10 only has support for Chinese.
I believed in Dell's quality and buil. I'm a proud owner of
Precision M6500, Vostro V13 and Streak 5. So when I heard about Streak 10 last July,
I waited for it to appear on Ebay.This is the only chance for buyer outside China to get it.
So when it did, I just straigth away buy it. On hand, this device means business. I also staright away change the lanquage to english in the setting (I'm suprised somebody will say it doesnt support english
when android is multi-lingual). I'm so happy for my tablet. I have Acer and Samsung. But Dell is the one always in my hand. Hope Dell will release the docking station soon. Only then, I will be more happy.
There hasn't seemed to be anything here recently. Is there any progress in bringing this product outside of China and to the rest of the world? Specifically to the US?
Anyone? Any info at all?


text: Thus far DOO has been helped only modestly by excluding financials; year to date it is down 10% versus 15% for EFA. Where I think this will become important is when European stocks start to recover and the other sectors leave the financials behind. There are still some segments in the financial sector that are not in the obvious line of fire of the European banking crisis that El-Erian is calling for or largest U.S. banks which show no signs of fundamental recovery. The segment getting most attention in this regard has been the Canadian banks, including Bank of Nova Scotia ( BNS), Royal Bank of Canada ( RY) and Toronto Dominion ( TD). I also believe that the Chilean banks like Santander de Chile ( SAN) and Banco de Chile ( BCH) will continue to do quite well. The yields from both Canadian and Chilean banks are quite generous and the balance sheets are healthier than most U.S. banks. One other segment whose business model is intact is the publicly traded exchanges. There are many of them trading in the U.S. and foreign markets, why there is no ETF focusing on these is a mystery to me. NYSE Euronext ( NYX) yields a surprisingly high 4.3% and ASX Limited ( ASXFY), the Australian stock exchange, yields over 6%. Exchange stocks will not offer a place to hide in the face of a global bear market but increased trading volume is good for business which allows the fundamentals to remain healthy.

LSU outmans, one-ups Florida in 41-11 victory
Jarrett Lee showed off his accuracy on two long pass plays to Rueben Randle. Jordan Jefferson had success in a Tim Tebow-like role, subbing for Lee as a change-of-pace option and even adding a payback-laced, Tebow-esque jump pass for a score.
And the Spencer Ware-led ground game whipped Florida up front, making the Gators the latest in a line of physically outmanned LSU opponents.
That's about as good as it gets for the LSU offense.
The Tigers rolled up 453 yards — 238 rushing, 215 passing — en route to a 41-11 victory Saturday afternoon, showing a national television audience that LSU's top ranking is not based on defensive dominance alone.
"I felt our quarterback (Lee) played sharp at the start of the game and really throughout the game," LSU coach Les Miles said. "We rushed the football at the back end of the game when we had to so that we could take our opponent out of the game."
The back end of the game came early as LSU, a two-touchdown favorite, opened a 17-0 lead less than two minutes into the second quarter.
Lee got the Tigers started, faking a handoff to Ware on LSU's second offensive snap and looking down field for Randle. Forty-six yards later, the ball found Randle in stride and dropped directly into the receiver's bread basket for a 7-0 lead.
Later, on the second play of the fourth quarter, Lee hooked up with Randle for 57 yards on a fade route down the left sideline.
"It was just what they were giving us," Lee said. "The coaches saw in the press box those safeties were playing pretty tight."
In other words, the Gators were crowding they line of scrimmage to stop LSU's running game.
Could you blame them?
Ware rumbled for 109 yards and two scores on 24 carries, busting through cavernous holes and pummeling defenders in the secondary. Alfred Blue got 14 carries for 70 yards, providing the final margin with a 2-yard burst 1:27 before the final horn.
Blue's score capped an 11-play, 76-yard march that included 10 running plays for 55 yards.
All told, LSU ran the ball on 49 of its 63 offensive snaps, helping the Tigers chew up 35 minutes, 40 seconds in time of possession.
But when the Tigers did turn to their passing game, Lee and Jefferson came through.
Lee finished 7-of-10 for 154 yards, finding Randle four times for 127 yards. Jefferson went 3-of-4 for 61 yards, playing a significant role for the Tigers in his second game back from suspension.
"There were some things we didn't do with both guys," Miles said of the quarterback rotation. "We felt that when victory was secure, there were things that were out of the playbook."
Early in the fourth quarter, however, Miles went deep into his playbook — and his memory bank — to dial up Jefferson's first touchdown pass of the season.
In 2006, when Tebow served as starter Chris Leak's change-of-pace backup, the future Heisman Trophy winner burst onto the national scene at LSU's expense, tossing an old-school jump pass to Tate Casey after faking a run up the middle.
It was Tebow's first career touchdown pass.
Saturday afternoon, with LSU facing third-and-goal at the 2, Jefferson showed Florida a blast from the past. He faked a run up the middle. He left his feet. He lobbed the ball over the defense and into tight end Mitch Joseph's waiting arms.
"Just because it's Florida, we ran one of their Tebow plays," Joseph said with a smile. "Makes it that much better."
Blue's touchdown came about 11 minutes later, the last bit of damage in LSU's well-balanced, start-to-finish dominance.
The exclamation point on a statement day.

Picture: Biffy Clyro performing live in concert at the O2 Arena - London, United Kingdom - Wednesday 3rd April 2013
Biffy Clyro frontman Simon Neil is heading back to the stage after recovering from a serious respiratory problem.
The Scottish rockers scrapped the remainder of their North American tour dates, including a set at the Coachella festival, last month (Apr13) after Neil fell ill and was advised by doctors to rest up or risk a longterm medical issue.
He has now taken to the band's Twitter.com page to assure fans he is feeling better, and will soon be back onstage.
He writes, "Hi everyone. Thank you for the kind words and best wishes. Almost back to full strength. Can't wait to see you all soon."
The Mountains hitmakers will headline Britain's upcoming Radio 1's Big Weekend festival in Northern Ireland on 25 May (13).

Netflix Tattoo Leads To $96 In Free Netflix [PICTURE]
I'm what you call a fair-weather Netflix user. I pay the $8 a month and usually forget I even have the service until it's a rainy Sunday and nothing else is on. This guy, however, is pretty hardcore in his love of the movie streaming program.
A guy who goes by TheRealMyron on Twitter posted a pic of his latest tattoo, which appears to be on his torso, professing his love of Netflix.
Netflix did indeed see the tweet, and "rewarded" his mistak………er, um, devotion with a free year's worth of the service.
I'm cool with the 8 bucks a month, thank you.
Is there, however, a product or service or even singer/actor you're so in love with that you'd have tattooed on you? Share you comments below!

Sydney's beaches have been given an unexpected clean bill of health, just in time for summer.
More than 95 per cent of the city's beaches were given an A-grade rating in the annual State of the Beaches report, issued by the Environment Minister, Robyn Parker, yesterday.
Across the state 97 per cent of beaches were graded ''good'' or ''very good''.
The results were released as Sydney experienced its hottest October day, at 33.8 degrees before midday in the city.
''It's fantastic for our beach-goers this year,'' Ms Parker said, ''particularly considering our rainfall has been 60 per cent above average.''
Beach water quality typically deteriorates after rainfall as pollutants are washed through drains out to sea.
Cris Hickey, the manager of BeachWatch programs for the Office of Environment and Heritage, agreed that the results were surprisingly good.
Management of water quality was a far cry from the days of unidentifiable waste floating past people in the water, she said.
''Twenty years ago, very few Sydney beaches would have been graded as good or very good,'' she said. ''There has been some huge improvements in the last decade in stormwater and sewage overflow management.''
Ms Hickey said the the cleanest beaches in Sydney were still Palm, Avalon and Whale beaches. ''The Cronulla beaches on the southern shore are also very clean.''
At Malabar beach, swimmers were urged to monitor BeachWatch updates before entering the water. Ms Parker said $2 million worth of outflow works should produce better results next year.
The state opposition environment spokesman, Luke Foley, questioned the government's commitment to water quality after $54 million was stripped from Sydney Water's infrastructure budget this year. Work to improve the reliability of the Malabar treatment plant has been delayed to 2016-17, he said.
Davidson Reserve on Sydney Harbour and Foreshore Beach at Botany Bay were classed as very poor for the first time, he said.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Rape occurs all too often in Afghanistan and is under-reported, but more victims are agreeing to report the incidents, a Canadian government report on Afghan human rights has concluded.
"Rape is widely believed to be a frequent occurrence, though its true extent is concealed by under-reporting owing to the social stigma attached to it," stated the 2008 report, publicized on Thursday.
"There does, however, appear to be signs of increasing willingness on the part of victims to report rape, and on the part of the authorities to investigate and prosecute some cases."
It cited President Hamid Karzai's call in 2008 for rapists "to face the country's most severe punishment," following a public outcry after a 12-year-old girl was raped in Sari Pul province.
The report, released after an Access to Information request by the Canadian Press, said self-immolation by women is increasingly being used "to escape their dire circumstances".
In Herat, it cited the head of the provincial hospital's burn unit as saying 80 women tried to burn themselves in 2008, many of whom died.
It said the British-based group Womankind had determined that 87 percent of Afghan women complained of being victims of violence, half of it sexual. It said more than half of marriages involve girls under 16.
On a positive note, it said that the number of girls in school had gone from near zero during Taliban rule to 2 million now, and total school enrollment had risen to 6 million from 1 million.
Canada has had troops in Afghanistan since 2002 and currently has 2,800 soldiers there.

The 'Hairspray' co-stars team up to pose for snappers at the January 9 bash held to kick off Golden Globes week.
Next week on January 16 is an important event for movie and TV practitioners as Hollywood Foreign Press Association will present its 68th annual awards show. In anticipation of the Golden Globes week, Audi and designer J. Mendel presented a party at Cecconi's Restaurant in Los Angeles on Sunday, January 9.
Zac Efron, appearing in his new short haircut, walked on the red carpet in a casual outfit that consists of a white shirt and gray pants. Without Vanessa Hudgens who is rumored reuniting with him on his side, Zac paired up with Brittany Snow to pose for photographers. Braving the cold weather, the "Hairspray" babe wore a mini white dress.
Brittany also caught up Sophia Bush who went white with her dress that boasts ruffles on the neckline that night. Other guests at the star-studded party included movie beauty Zoe Saldana, "Glee" stars Jane Lynch and Matthew Morrison, dancer/actress Julianne Hough, "True Blood" hunk Alexander Skarsgard as well as Zachary Levi of "Chuck".

"I opposed this appropriations bill for several reasons, chief among them that it is not consistent with the bipartisan agreement reached in August on spending levels. Breaking that agreement is just one more sign that this House Republican conference is simply unwilling to compromise or work with Democrats to find solutions to our challenges.

House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today after the House passed the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act:
March 21, 2012 — Press Item
Yesterday, Republicans unveiled a more-of-the-same budget for fiscal year 2013 that ends the Medicare guarantee while protecting tax cuts for the wealthy, and puts our economic recovery at risk. The Republican budget makes the wrong choices and places the burden of deficit reduction onto seniors, the middle class, working families, and the most vulnerable by refusing to ask the wealthiest among us to contribute. Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan called on the American people to make a choice between two futures for our nation. Here's a look at our future under the Republican budget – and the future Democrats envision instead.
Through the centuries, Americans and people around the world have seen America as the land of opportunity—a place where they and their families could "make it." Today, Democrats are presenting an agenda that focuses on that dream and seeks to make it real for all Americans, an agenda for the 112th Congress—a job-creating agenda, which we've worked hard to develop.
Win the Future might be President Obama's economic slogan of choice, but Rep. Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) wants the White House to adopt another catchy phrase: Make It in America.
March 15, 2011 — Press Item
Today the House will consider a short term continuing resolution to fund the government for the next three weeks. Democrats continue to call on Republicans to cut and compromise on a measure that funds the government for the full year so that we prevent a shutdown and stop funding the government in week-by-week increments, which is inefficient and disruptive to the private and public sector.
March 2, 2011 — Press Item
I want to thank Chairman Rockefeller and Ranking Member Hutchison for giving me the opportunity to speak on one of our nation's defining challenges: strengthening and creating jobs for America's middle class. That same goal is behind the Democrats' Make It In America agenda. Make It In America is about creating an environment in which American businesses can thrive, innovate, and create jobs here—and it is about ensuring we have a workforce that can fill the well-paying jobs of the future. I believe that when more products are made in America, more families will be able to Make It In America.

When Republicans took the House majority, they pledged to create jobs and immediately start cutting the deficit. But they still haven't put forward a real agenda to create jobs or to address the deficit in a serious way. A look at the past two months shows Republicans have failed to address Americans' top priorities:
February 9, 2011 — Press Item
Democrats are committed to restoring fiscal responsibility and cutting spending is one part of the effort to reduce the deficit. While Democrats agree that we must reduce spending, House Republicans have introduced a short-sighted plan that does not distinguish between necessary cuts, and cuts to investments that are critical to our continued economic recovery. While Speaker Boehner has dismissed investment in long-term economic growth as "ineffective stimulus," Democrats are focused on cutting spending without cutting smart investments in our future that create jobs, expand private sector employment and will continue growing the economy.

Munich (Sep. 4)
An attempt to unite the permanent Jewish communities is the four zones of Germany has "died stillborn," according to Dr. Philip Auerbach, (##)rian Commissioner for Racial and Political Persecutees.
Unification seemed near last June, when representatives from the three western (##) and Berlin met in Frankfurt to form a central organization. Committees were appointed, plans drawn up and a seven-point memorandum on Jewish religious practices accepted. However, subsequent developments have been disappointing.
Dr. Auerbach attributes the chief obstacle to the recent merger between the central Committee of Liberated Jews in the British zone and the local Jewish communities. He feels that the problems facing the two groups are sufficiently different to (##)rant two distinct organizations, although strongly urging cooperation between them and deploring any tendency to preach differences between "eastern" and "western" Jews.
While considering that a merger between the Jewish communities in the British and American zones is practically impossible, Dr. Auerbach is also possi(##)stic concerning cooperation with the 2,000 Jews in the Soviet zone, charging that certain officials" of the American military government are opposed to intercourse between the Jews in the two zones. However, responsible AMG officials told the Jewish telegraphic Agency that "AMG didn't care one way or the other."
Dr. Auerbach also claims that cooperation with the 8,000 Jews in Berlin is impossible because of the "four-power bureaucracy" in that city. There is "regular contact" with the few hundred Jews in the French zone, but they represent a negligible (##)portion of the total Jewish population of Germany. So, for the present, he sees little prospects of any union of the Jews in the four zones.
Dr. Auerbach has come under fire from certain Jewish circles who favor merger of the Jewish communities in the U.S. zone with the DP Jews here, along the lines followed in the British zone, which would make at least a bi-zonal union possible. His apponents accuse Auerbach of fearing loss of his personal power if the quantitatively German Jews unite with the DP's, of whom there are ten times as many.

Team Coco is heading back to Washington D.C. Conan O'Brien will be the headliner of this year's White House Correspondents Association Dinner, it was announced today. "Thrilled to reveal @ConanObrien has agreed to headline White House Correspondents Association's scholarship dinner April 27 @TeamCoco," WHCA president and Fox News Channel correspondent Ed Henry tweeted this morning. This isn't the late-night host's first time toplining the DC event. In 1995, when O'Brien was the host of NBC's Late Night, he roasted then-President Bill Clinton and others from the stage. The annual mockfest has become a magnet for Presidents and other politicians, the fourth estate, Hollywood heavyweights, and tabloid fixtures. ABC late-night host Jimmy Kimmel headlined the dinner last year.
Conan O'Brien Named 2013 White House Correspondents Dinner Host
13 Comments
Fantastic news! Conan will be great
Obviously, the press wanted something safe like oatmeal…and, Conan fits this dynamic. Won't be anywhere near as funny or brutal as many others would be, and that's the reason he was selected…safe….safe…safe…boring.
By far the worst WH Correspondents monologue ever was delivered by Jay Leno two or three years ago. He died a thousand deaths. Here's Conan's chance to one up Leno.
Conan is horrible. He doesn't deserve what Jay Leno and NBC did to him, however his lack of talent – hear me out – is completely why he does deserve to be on a piddling little network and not part of the big boys.
HE – HE – has never been funny. His show may be funny at times, but he is not a naturally funny person. And worse of all…he is painful to watch. He FREAKING has to read on a card every single question he throws up to his guest. Pathetic. He even reads off of a card "So I can't tell you how much it means to me that you stopped by." ATE YOU KIDDING ME?! You idiot. If you actually freaking mean it, look your guest in the eye and tell them that.
I am so happy this guy got canned because he sucks. If you like him….you have no taste. He is thee worst talk show host ever…the guy can't carry on a conversation to save his life. Go read your cards on TNT or wherever the hell you are. Conan sucks. And he'll suck at the White House press corp as well.
Robert… Smigel?
Sorry Conan we changed our mind and we're going with Jay Leno he's much easier to push around and he won't tell any controversial jokes. You didn't really think you'd get to host this dinner did you? We just used you for publicity. Our plan was to go with Jay all along. ;)
Funny guy and great chice, bypassing Geezer demographic faves. Told my Grandpa this and all he could say was…Who?
Too much fun. Conan will be brilliant and he will be right on target. Go get em C and have fun you darlin lad! Yeah! Hayden says "yeah" too!
May the road rise to meet ye, Coco!
Would love to see Tina Fey or Amy Poehler hired for this gig. Would be so much funnier. Conan's OK and likeable,and funny, but can we have a little diversity and actually put some creative thought into our choices? … Yeah, I'm talking to you Ed Henry, Mr. White Bread Conservative.
Can't wait to see how he blames the domestic economic problems on Jay Leno.
The WHCD Is some thing I so look forward to every year…Someone needs to make us laugh about politics,OUR ELECTED officials etc.
It great to give Conan another gig…BUT, anyone stop to think that there are several women who deserve a anothr chance to host…Whoopi, Ellen DeGeneres, Tin Fey, Joy , Amy Poehler to name a few, Wanda Sykes was a first woman/minority… Minorities as well as women have been somewhat overlooked…
Just a friendly suggestion… Thanks for the great laughs over the years…
Two words
Joey Diaz !!!

Yankees owner Hal Steinbrenner indicated that while the upmost goal is to reduce payroll, he still takes pride in putting out a "championship-caliber" team. In reaffirming his commitment to competing for a championship, he further confirmed the Yankees are not done adding players and are looking to add some lumber. Seeing as one of the glaring weaknesses of this team is a lack of right-handed presence in a predominantly left-handed outfield, let's take a look at the options to fill that right-handed role (this list being comprised with the notion that that Miami Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton will not be traded)
- Vernon Wells — owed a ridiculous $42 million over the next two years, Wells could potentially provide some pop off the bench. However, hard to be inspired about this one as his production has gradually gone down each year since the Angels took on his massive deal in 2011. Furthermore, his playing time has decreased each year. Speaks volumes that they would let their $42 million man ride the pine. Pass.
- Scott Hairston — across town, Hairston enjoyed a career season as a New York Met, smashing 20 home runs and driving in 57 runs. Unfortunately, while the Yankees are in play for his services, the Mets are capable of offering Hairston an everyday role. Doesn't sound likely to make his way to the Bronx.
- Michael Morse — affectionately known as "The Beast" to the Washington Nationals faithful, Morse has become available for trade with the Nats' resigning of free agent Adam LaRoche. A masher with two-way power, Morse is less known for his glove and more known for his bat. However, with one-year remaining at $6.75 million on his current deal, Morse financially makes the most sense.
- Justin Upton — the grand jewel of the players available this offseason, FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi reports that Upton rejected a trade that would have sent him to the Seattle Mariners, meaning Upton is back at square one. It's no secret the Arizona Diamondbacks are trying to move their superstar and the Yankees are not on his "no-trade" list. While the dollars are a little North of what the Yankees have in mind, the fact that Upton is only 25 years old and is one of the true young stars in the game could make him an interesting option to be donning pinstripes. There's been no discussion of the Yankees being in play for his services as of yet, but it is the Yankees and nothing is ever off the table.
The most realistic and viable choice seems to be Morse, as the finances and his ability to come off the bench and produce are very appealing to the Yankees. However, a trade for Upton would be a vintage Yankees move and would give the organization and its fans some youth to look forward too as the rest of this lineup ages. Never the less, it should be an interesting final few weeks of the offseason as spring training approaches.

text: HoneyRock repositioned as Outdoor Center for Leadership Development Harve Chrouser and the other founders of HoneyRock believed that leaders are best formed by leading, that character is refined through testing, and that one's relationship with God is deepened through stillness and service. These principles have characterized HoneyRock's camper and student programs since its inception in 1951. Last year HoneyRock became part of the new Global and Experiential Learning Department (GEL). As part of that move, HoneyRock was repositioned as the Outdoor Center for Leadership Development of Wheaton College. As one of more than 20 centers and institutes at Wheaton, HoneyRock provides experiential education, leadership development, and outdoor adventure programming. The research, teaching, and training that happens at HoneyRock involves more than 50 faculty and 1,000 Wheaton students each year and is influencing Christian higher education and the Christian camping, outdoor adventure movement worldwide. "HoneyRock," Coach Harve Chrouser '34 said in 1948, "is essentially an educational project designed to be a leadership laboratory . . . in a camp-living situation. The Honey Rock idea was to create for the student a new kind of teaching-learning environment." HoneyRock's campus is located on 800 acres in the Wisconsin Northwoods on a chain of 28 lakes and the Nicolet National Forest. Check out HoneyRock's programs at this link. Greg Wheatley's Wheaton interview series available online The thoughts and ideas engaging the campus community may now be accessed anytime online thanks to Inside Wheaton, a series of interviews with Wheaton faculty, staff, and students. Host Greg Wheatley, a veteran of Moody Radio and a Wheaton Conservatory guest lecturer, says the interviews provide glimpses into "the richness of what goes on here and the vast amount of giftedness across a wide array of disciplines." Greg hopes to give every faculty member the opportunity to be interviewed. Excerpts of the interviews also air hourly on WETN radio, notes John Rorvik, manager of event and media production. These interviews delve into topics such as the best novels by George MacDonald according to Dr. Rolland Hein '54, professor emeritus and a George MacDonald scholar; a few of literature's finest works on pastoral ministry, from Dr. Leland Ryken hon and Dr. Philip Ryken '88, as presented in the book, Pastors in the Classics, which they coauthored with Todd Wilson; and the need for Christian discernment in the field of psychology from Wheaton's Provost, Dr. Stanton Jones. Listen to the interviews at this link. A Call for letters and diaries written by U.S. Military Chaplains The Wheaton College Archives & Special Collections, through its Schmale Military Chaplains Collection, has sought to identify Christian military chaplains and to gather their stories. Initially, this collection focused on the U.S. Civil War, but the Archives plans to expand these holdings to document the service of others in later wars and conflicts. If you are aware of letters or diaries from a chaplain (not necessarily a Wheaton graduate) that could be donated to the Archives & Special Collections, please contact David Malone at email@example.com. In the Wheaton article "Who Will Shepherd the Soldiers?" (autumn 2007), writer Jeremy Weber '05 reviewed the work of our alumni who serve or have served as chaplains in the military. Throughout its history Wheaton has provided military chaplains from its own ranks. Today, students from six local colleges and universities participate in Wheaton's Rolling Thunder ROTC battalion. Two new degrees replace the M.A. in Clinical Psychology In the past, graduates who earned master's degrees in clinical psychology could pursue licensure as marriage and family therapists (LMFT). In recent years, however, various state licensing boards instituted rule changes that have made this difficult. Prospective students have also demonstrated increasing interest in specialized training in marriage and family therapy from a Christian perspective. As a result, the M.A. in Clinical Psychology degree was replaced by two master's degree programs that meet separate licensure standards: Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and Marriage and Family Therapy. Entering its second year under director Dr. David Van Dyke '91, the M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy program added two new assistant professors of psychology, Drs. Hana Yoo and Jacob Johnson. Launched last September with a group of 18 graduate students, the MFT program provides rigorous academic experience and clinical training in collaboration with local agencies such as Outreach Community Center, Lawndale Christian Health Center, and TriCity Family Services. "What is unique for our MFT students is the relational focus, service to the underserved, and the Christian distinctiveness of the program," says Dr. Van Dyke. "There is a significant need within society, the church, and the mission field for God-honoring relationships. Divorce rates, broken relationships, and emotional struggles are evident in the news and within the pews of churches." Dr. Van Dyke's immediate goal for the MFT program is to have it accredited by the Commission on Accreditation for Marriage and Family Therapy Education. Thus far, the MFT's initial cohort has shown a clear sense of purpose and passion for their future ministries. "Many of our students are missionaries and will be working with both missionaries and national families," says Dr. Van Dyke. "We have international students who will return to their countries of origin to work with individuals, marriages, and families. We have a few that are interested in continuing on to get their Ph.D.s to research and teach." Faculty & Student News >

Aamir Khan has tackled the sensitive topic of love in the fifth episode of Satyamev Jayate. Though Aamir's attempt at talking about love and honour killing was truly scary, one cannot help but opine that Aamir and his team should have done an in-depth research and covered a detailed aspect of the topic.
Like in all previous episodes of Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan began the fifth episode in a 'filmi andaaz' and started with a romantic quote and then went on to show how Bollywood cinema have epitomised love and lovers. He then subtly introduced the audience to the horror of honour killing.
While Aamir made his point clear by stating that as citizens of a free country and as adults, a man and woman have the right to choose their partner. Aamir got on stage the mother of Rizwan, whose body was mysteriously found on the railway tracks. He was allegedly killed brutally by the family of Priyanka (the two loved each and got married inspite of belonging to a different religion). Aamir also spoke about Lokendra and Fehmida who are on the run since Fehmida's family has threatened to kill the couple.
While the stories narrated were touching and truly disturbing, the episode seemed a bit amateurish since an in-depth research was missing. By having the parents of the couples who got married against the will of their family on the show, Aamir Khan could have added more authenticity as the audience could get an idea of the parent's point of view and how their psyche functions.
While all the previous episodes of Satyamev Jayate talked about a movement of change, this weekend's episode on love didn't seem any different from what we already know about the horrors of honour killing.
What is your take on this week's episode of Satyamev Jayate? Did Aamir Khan do justice in tackling a sensitive subject of love and honour killing?

TI IS MAD FOR: QVEST EDITIONSubmitted by Wayne on Tue, 2008-11-25 03:09.
I love magazines but print...something about it has been starting to feel so ...antique. Beautiful , yes but beautiful like paintings in a museum . It wasn't that the format was the problem. I still love the smell, the feel , the presence of paper....the tactile joy thereof of turning page after page. But what has become difficult for me was that formulaic ...impersonal... content where more and more editors were bent on only discussing the advertisers in their pages and a short list of very established and therefore redundant talent in music, film and design. And then I got the new Qvest in the mail

Emma Summerton. Get into that name. In an editorial landscape suffering from a lack of new energy and new forces Ms Summerton is racking up the magazine credits at fast and furious pace. Tastemaker Kate (Moss) is into it. ID magazine is into it. British Vogue, via this image that I just uploaded onto MDC is very into it. Katja, KT and now Emma. I think the name-droppers of the trade are going to have to add some new buzz-names to their call-list!

In light of the ongoing crisis regarding the three kidnapped Israeli teens, which Israel has blamed on Islamic terror group Hamas, the Palestinian Authority has stopped taking steps in the reconciliation process with Hamas which led to the establishment earlier this month of a Palestinian unity government, The Times of Israel has learned.
Following statements made Monday by a senior Palestinian official, who told The Times of Israel that if it was proved that Hamas was behind the kidnappings the PA would reevaluate the unity pact, the Palestinian government convened on Tuesday and decided that it would continue to refrain from paying the salaries of former Hamas government officials, some 40,000 in number.
The salaries issue was a focus of tension between Hamas and Fatah after the reconciliation agreement was signed, and banks in the Gaza Strip were closed for six days after the Hamas worker's salaries were not transferred.
Additionally, Fatah has stopped holding deliberations and meetings of the committee that is to examine the integration of Hamas into PLO institutions, and has decided not to convene the Palestinian parliament, which was to occur in another three weeks' time.
Hamas had asked that the parliament be convened in order to appoint former prime minister Ismail Haniyeh to the post of Palestinian parliament chairman, which would turn him into Mahmoud Abbas's successor were Abbas unable to continue in the position of PA president.

Interim Results for the six months ended 29 February 2004
I am pleased to report an excellent set of results for the six months to 29
February 2004.
The financial highlights are as follows:
• Sales of £13.9 million (28 February 2003: £7.0 million) up 98%.
• Operating profit after amortisation of goodwill of £1.4 million (28
February 2003: £0.3 million) up 404%.
• Basic underlying earnings per share of 2.3p (28 February 2003: 0.7p) up
• Equity shareholders' funds of £15.7 million (28 February 2003: £8.9
million) up 76%.
• Net debt position was £3.2 million (28 February 2003: Net funds £4.9
The Board is not recommending an interim dividend.
Auto Electronics Division
The Audio Electronics Division, which has changed its name to the Auto
Electronics Division, has had yet another record six months with sales
increasing by 23% and operating profit by 83%. Our strong market position and
the further development of our proprietary brands through the introduction of
new products has resulted in increases in our market share and continued organic
The Autoleads range of specialist connectivity solutions for in-car
entertainment and communications has driven organic growth with sales increasing
by 18% over the same period last year. Sales from one of its core products, the
telemute range of leads, has risen by over 108% as a result of the change in
legislation on 1 December 2003 restricting the use of mobile phones in vehicles.
The CTI range of specialist GSM and GPS aerials and antennae for the automotive
and marine aftermarkets has benefited from both the change in legislation
regarding the use of mobile phones in vehicles and the Division's increasingly
strong position in the in-vehicle cellular market. In the first six months of
the year, a number of new blue chip customers have been secured.
The Veba branded range of in-car audio-visual entertainment systems has achieved
considerable success in the past six months and consolidated its position as one
of the leaders in the professional fit end of the market. Our focus remains on
our skills as a solution designer and provider, which has resulted in the
winning of significant contracts from BMW and Hyundai. The initial orders for
these two contracts total in excess of £800,000. Given that we have designed
model specific solutions for these customers, we can expect ongoing sales of
these systems throughout the lifecycle of the vehicle, which could be up to
seven years. On the retail side, our audio-visual products and services are
being sold by an additional 60 specialist retailers and rolled out by a national
retail chain across 230 of its stores.
Elsewhere in the brand portfolio, the RM Audio range of mid-market car audio
products has secured new headunit business from both Fiat (UK) and Claas, the
agricultural vehicle manufacturer. The new Mutant range of mid-priced speakers
and amplifiers has been successfully launched and is now selling well through
our retail customer base.
Home Electronics Division
The Home Electronics Division was formed on 31 October 2003 through the
acquisition of Veda Products Limited, QED Audio Products Limited, Goldring
Products Limited and Integrated Media Installations Limited. All four of the
businesses are involved in the design, manufacture and supply of high end
products and services to the specialist hi-fi, home theatre and entertainment
market. The Home Electronics Division has strong, market leading, proprietary
brands, which include QED, Systemline, Cinemax, Arca and Goldring.
The Division has made a significant contribution to the Group in its first four
months of ownership with the return on sales being well in excess of 10%. There
is a good pipeline of new products coming through into sales, which includes
QED's high performance interconnects such as the Performance Sqart, the awards
winning Qunex OT home theatre cable and QED XT300 speaker cable, the new
Goldring GR1 turntable and the new Systemline Modular multi-room entertainment
system. This last product has been specifically designed to lower the entry
point for multi-room entertainment systems and thereby open up the residential
market. It is targeted at the general new build housing market and it secured
its first sales in February 2004.
The process of creating an integrated operating structure in the Division and
realising the synergies identified at the time of acquisition has begun. The
management of the four businesses has been consolidated into a single
streamlined team to run the Division, a co-ordinated product development
programme has been put in place and a purchasing review is being undertaken,
which is aimed at reducing our manufacturing and sourcing costs. It is expected
that these actions will make a positive financial contribution in the current
The Group is financially strong. The operating divisions continue to win new
business as well as launch new products and brands, which create strong organic
growth. The Board looks forward to the second half of the financial year with

The interim financial statements have been prepared on the basis of accounting
policies consistent with those set out in the Group's Annual Report and
financial statements for the twelve months to 31 August 2003, with the exception
of the classification of own ordinary shares held by the Armour Employees' Share
Previously, in accordance with UITF 13, the own ordinary shares held by the
Armour Employees' Share Trust have been shown as fixed asset investments. In
accordance with UITF 38, issued on 15 December 2003, this investment in own
shares has been transferred to equity shareholders' funds. The comparative
figures have been restated to reflect this change. The effect on the
Consolidated Balance Sheets at 28 February 2003 and 31 August 2003 is to
decrease equity shareholders' funds by £176,000 and £200,000 respectively.

Council leary of new request
Another exception to Baldwin Borough codes is needed to allow the addition of "morning rooms" on the final homes being built in the Breckenridge Highlands plan.
Yet, the site's past, filled with many variance requests and even a court case, led borough officials to closely examine the latest request, they said.
"I think we should ask a lot of questions on this just because of the past history of the site," council Vice President Michael Stelmasczyk said.
Baldwin Borough Council held a public hearing Tuesday to consider a request from Ryan Homes to modify the front building line setback of Breckenridge Highlands from 20 feet to 15 feet.
The Breckenridge housing complex was approved by Baldwin officials in 2004 as a planned residential development to be built in two phases, solicitor Stanley Lederman said. Phase II was granted final approval in 2005.
The property is owned by the Holly Hill Development Corp., and Ryan Homes was contracted to build and sale homes on the site, Lederman said.
The request would shift about five single-family, condominium-style homes on Towervue Drive closer to the front street to allow for "morning rooms" to be built in the rear.
Baldwin Borough's planning commission on Dec. 10 recommend that council deny the request.
A public hearing, then, must be held to determine if council will uphold the planning commissions decision or go along with the request, Lederman said.
Amanda Anderle, a sales manager with Ryan Homes, said the request is based on a market need — which is now for bigger homes. Adding the morning rooms would increase the square footage of the homes and therefore tax revenue, she said.
"Which we thought, of course, would be a good thing," she said.
Borough engineer Larry Souleret said his concerns were the distance the "morning rooms" would be from the rear slope in the back of the homes and how this would affect parking in driveways in the front of the homes.
Council members stressed that this isn't the first request for a change to borough policy that they've received for the site.
"We keep making exceptions," said Councilman John "Butch" Ferris, noting that any decision council makes for this property has to be consistent with those in the rest of the borough.
Representatives from Breckenridge also gave a different explanation for a request they made within the last two years that at that time they said was to allow a townhouse that already was built in a different location than it was slated for.
John Bollinger, drafter for Lawrence R. Elliot Surveying, said there was no surveying error, as previously stated. Instead, the building was moved due to a grading issue.
"That's not what we were told," Stelmasczyk said. "I believe that we weren't told the truth. As a person sitting here, I don't think people telling me something that's not true."
Borough council has 45 days to make a decision on the issue.
Stelmasczyk requested they present officials with an estimate of how much it would cost the developer to keep the homes in the same place and change the grading on the rear property to allow for the construction of the morning rooms.

Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to look at the effectiveness of giving patients who have been newly diagnosed with untreated early stage primary myelofibrosis (PMF) a study drug called PEGINTRON (also known as pegylated interferon alfa 2b). This intervention will be compared to the widely employed "watch and wait" (best supportive care) approach for early stage PMF, in which patients are followed closely and treatment initiated only if the disease progresses.
|Drug: Peginterferon alfa-2a
|Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Intervention Model: Crossover Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment

Further study details as provided by Weill Medical College of Cornell University:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Evidence of improved clinical status [ Time Frame: One year ]Improved clinical status is defined as clinical improvement (CI) in the response criteria of the International Working Group for Myelofibrosis Research and Treatment (IWG-MRT) and is evaluated by blood and bone marrow tests performed every 4 weeks for one year.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Progression free survival and overall survival [ Time Frame: One year ]Survival will be assessed at one year from time of study entry.
|Study Start Date:
|January 2013
|Estimated Study Completion Date:
|January 2017
|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|January 2017 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
No Intervention: Observation arm
Subjects will be monitored closely for disease progression, however will receive no intervention.
Experimental: Peginterferon alfa-2a
Peginterferon alfa-2a will be administered at a dose of 50 micrograms once a week for up to 3 years.
Drug: Peginterferon alfa-2a
50 mcg subcutaneous injection once per week
Other Name: PEGINTRON, Interferon alfa, IFNα-2b
Detailed Description:
Subjects will be randomized into one of the study groups: one in which subjects get treated with PEGINTRON and the other in which subjects are closely followed and get best supportive care until disease progression (the presently accepted standard approach for early disease). Subjects on the observation arm will be carefully monitored for clinical or laboratory progression of disease during scheduled study visits. However, they will not be treated with an active drug like Interferon alfa or others such as Hydroxyurea, Revlimid, Thalidomide, Pomalidomide, and the newly approved JAK2 inhibitor Ruxolitinib (Jakafi). If their disease progresses, they will be eligible for cross-over into the treatment arm with PEGINTRON. Subjects randomized to the treatment arm will receive PEGINTRON once weekly.

Larry Moss lived a busy life as an academic, a professor, an attorney, a journal editor, and a skilled magician. He was a prolific publisher of scholarly articles and books, and an editor of scholarly volumes. With friendly charm and humor, he sought to encourage others in their scholarly pursuits. He employed his magical skills to enliven his courses and to illustrate certain economic phenomena. Larry served the History of Economics Society in important capacities, including its presidency. He sought "methodological tolerance" and interacted with scholars of different philosophical persuasions. He organized memorials for numerous other economists; it thus is fitting that we do so here for him. Copyright © 2010 American Journal of Economics and Sociology, Inc..

At just 30 she was considered far too young to have the disease - the average age is about 60.
Her increasing symptoms of rectal bleeding and stomach pains were wrongly attributed to her many pregnancies.
Throughout her fifth pregnancy Taryn was tired, she had abdominal pains and suffered from frequent diarrhoea.
As the family were moving to a new house which needed a lot of renovation work she pushed her deteriorating health to the back of her mind.
But just weeks after the birth she started suffering from an excruciating pain in her side, which grew increasingly more persistent.
She took to bed with paracetamol and a hot water bottle, but within hours the pain grew unbearable.
"I was letting out silent screams, which was terrifying in itself. I was totally powerless and at the mercy of the pain."
Her abdomen became swollen with a yellow bulge, she had a temperature and her doctor said she needed to go to hospital.
Initially doctors suspected colitis - an inflammation of the bowel - but tests and an operation revealed a large and aggressive tumour which had broken out from her bowel and was growing on her pelvis.
"I went from being a healthy young mother of five to bowel cancer victim in two short days," she said.
In total she needed 23 and a half hours of surgery, including a colostomy and ileostomy - leading to an external pouch for waste - as well as six months of chemotherapy and a course of radiotherapy.
The chemotherapy left her weak. She lost her appetite completely and her weight fell to just four stones.
Taryn was determined to keep her cancer fight as much to herself as possible.
She moved her children to a school nearer to their new home and told few about her illness.
Despite her treatments she took the children to and from school each day.
"I did get some funny looks at the school when the weather started to warm up and there was me still in ski gloves, hat and scarf (worn as she was so cold during treatment) and on many occasions being sick in a bag by the buggy.
"I'm sure most of the mums thought I was an alcoholic or on drugs."
Taryn found one of the most difficult parts of her condition was a lack of information.
She searched the internet for answers to her many questions and found fellow bowel cancer sufferer and presenter of BBC's Watchdog programme Lynn Faulds Wood's charity Lynn's Bowel Cancer Campaign an inspiration.
She was determined to do something herself to warn others of the dangers of this silent killer.
Now three years clear from the disease Taryn has written her own book telling her story and warning others of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer.
"This is not a glamorous book, bowel cancer is not glamorous, but this is about what can happen.
"You should not ignore the symptoms of bowel cancer.
"Everybody knows the symptoms of breast cancer and everyone should know the symptoms of bowel cancer."
Lynn Faulds Wood, who has written the preview to Taryn's book - 'A November to remember' - said: "I've been a bowel cancer campaigner for ten years - but I learned such a lot from Taryn and her story.
"Every medical student should read it - and future generations of bowel cancer patients will see the benefit."
Dr Rob Glynne-Jones, lead clinician in gastro-intestinal cancer at Mount Vernon Hospital, said bowel cancer in patients as young as Taryn were unusual, but stressed everyone with symptoms should get themselves checked out, even though most would prove benign.
"There is no doubt that if we catch these things at an early stage we can cure 90%.
