One of Sydney's original premium office complexes, Governor Phillip and Governor Macquarie Towers at 1 Farrer Place, has new part-owners - with General Property Trust and Australian Prime Property Fund (Commercial) each buying a 25 per cent stake for a combined $480 million.
The remaining 50 per cent is owned by Deutsche Office Trust.
The vendor of the half share was STC Trustee, which is the former NSW State Super fund.
The towers are among the CBD's premier office assets. They offer more than 85,000 sq m of lettable space, are located in the heart of the financial district and most floors have views over Sydney Harbour.
The acquisition comes as landlords of Sydney's skyscrapers are facing vacancy rates of about 10 per cent. While conditions are forecast to improve within 12 months, lean times are predicted in the short term.
But property trust analysts said the purchase would give the two funds prime positioning for the expected upturn in Sydney's office market.
GPT and APPF are paying $240 million each, excluding acquisition costs. The price includes $1.2 million in rental top-up to offset vacancies in the first year.
The acquisition will be funded using existing debt facilities and will be accretive to earnings.
GPT fund manager Michael O'Brien said the acquisition provided the opportunity for GPT to gain greater exposure to the office sector at a time when improving office market fundamentals were anticipated.
"Our expectation is that office markets will begin to improve in 2004 and this, combined with the review profile of the asset, provides the opportunity to deliver strong growth for investors," Mr O'Brien said.
"In addition to Governor Phillip Tower and Governor Macquarie Tower, the asset includes the historic Phillip Street terraces."
APPF fund manager Philip Ling said the asset was an exceptional acquisition for the commercial fund.
"This acquisition presents an opportunity to further enhance the quality of APPF's commercial portfolio and produces strong risk-adjusted returns for investors," Mr Ling said.
"Our recently approved fund strategy is focused on re-weighting the commercial funds portfolio to the Sydney market and enhancing the funds' scale and diversity . . . [this acquisition] is in line with these objectives.
"Our research indicates that the Sydney office market is forecast to deliver stronger performance, a key element of the funds strategy."

Earlier today, Jake Ellenberger made an announcement on his personal website, declaring that his next match-up would be against a man whom he was supposed to face at UFC Fight Night 34 – Tarec Saffiedine. However, just minutes after he made the announcement – *poof!* – it was gone.
MMAFighting.com is saying that Ellenberger confirmed to them that both fighters have verbally agreed to meet in Baltimore on April 26… so although the UFC has yet to make an official announcement, "The Juggernaut" feels like it's all but set in stone.
Like I mentioned above, these two men were set to do battle once before, until a pulled hamstring sidelined him prior to their January 4th showdown in Singapore. Saffiedine was able to find a replacement opponent and made the most out of the situation, winning a unanimous decision against the "I should probably be at middleweight" Hyun Gyu Lim.
Ellenberger will be looking to bounce back from a loss to Rory MacDonald in his last UFC appearance.
Edit: Looks like the UFC just officially announced the fight, via their Twitter feed. Check it out:

NEW YORK – Cleveland Indians minor leaguer Daisuke Matsuzaka won his first decision of the season, pitching 5⅔ innings of one-run ball in the Columbus Clippers' 6-2 win over Lehigh Valley on Saturday night.
The 32-year-old Matsuzaka, who is trying to revive his career with a promotion to the majors, scattered seven hits, walked two, struck out six and threw 89 pitches. He improved to 1-3 with a 3.86 ERA for the Indians' Triple-A affiliate.
Matsuzaka signed a minor league deal with Cleveland in February with the hopes of making the major league roster for the start of the 2013 season, but things have not panned out, mainly because he has been plagued by injuries.
He went on the disabled list with a strain in his left rib cage on April 28. In his comeback on June 11, he lasted just 2⅔ innings due to a blister on his right hand. On June 16, Matsuzaka allowed four runs in 3⅔ innings.

Ah…. and relax… it's nearly the weekend and that's not the only reason why we like Fridays – no it's the day we ask you to tell us all your favourite things about staying at Roomzzz! This week in honour of the Bank Holiday next week we are asking you to tell us what you would do if you got to stay with us on Friday 27th… We've been getting some fabulous comments on our Facebook page this week…
William Kiggins told us…."Defiantly be coming back! Had a great stay with my partner, and the staff were really helpful. Even when we stumbled in at an un-godly hour they still had a smile on their faces! 10/10!"
Carol Richardson would like to "enjoy a lovely romantic time spent with my hubby …no kids allowed. x thanx very much" – we can't argue with that one! BUT Rob Cox got in on the act with "I'd love a well deserved night away with my partner away from all the hustle and bustle of home. A nice meal and a wonderful nights sleep would be amwazing :)"
We've been looking elsewhere on the internet too and found ourselves in Trip Advisor:
From pmymjyr in St Helens:- "We stayed 2 nights in a liberty suite. While visiting manchester to watch Ghost. Our room was amazing. So nicely styled and they had everything you might want. Full kitchen, TV, DVD and Imac!! I can't imagine the location being any better. In fact the only thing wrong with its location is the fact that if you add the luxury of the room to the fact china town is across the road you may only be leaving the room to fetch a cheeky take away and coming back to get cozy. Style, luxury, technology, location and lots cheaper than any of its competitors. A must stay!"

The Other Ball to Feature The Black Keys and More, 12/10
The Other Ball, a brand new annual event to raise funds to protect children from adversity and exploitation in the developing world to transcend the machine, lift the spirit and honor the power of music to create global social change. The Black Keys will perform, and Jeff Bhasker will act as Musical Director for A$AP Rocky, Mikky Ekko, Lykke Li and Miguel. The event is set for December 10th at the Highline Ballroom in New York City.
"When Mark approached us about 'The Other Ball' and told us the incredible story of Arms Around the Child and Leigh Blake and her team's work to make positive change in the lives of helpless and exposed children across the world, there was no question regarding our support," says TOPSHOP TOPMAN. "This event will bring creative hearts and minds together in one of this year's most exciting events and will no doubt raise awareness and much-needed funds to enable Leigh and her team to continue their invaluable work for these extremely vulnerable young people."
The Other Ball will honor quiet revolutionaries who tirelessly and patiently work to change the world. This year's inaugural event will pay tribute to Peter Edge, CEO of RCA Records, Bob Roth, Executive Director of the David Lynch Foundation and Mark Seliger, outstanding American photographer. Members of The Other Ball Event Committee include Clive Davis, Judy McGrath, Christian Louboutin, Tom Corson, Simon Doonan, Barbara and Ray Dalio, Brandon Creed, Seth Rosenfeld, Alex Patsavas, Ceci Kurzman, J.B. Miller, Emma Grede and Russell Simmons.
"I'm deeply honored to be involved in the first annual event for Arms Around the Child, The Other Ball. Leigh is a force of nature and through her tireless work and insane energy has launched two life-changing organizations, Red Hot and Keep A Child Alive, which have between them raised $50 million and helped to save over three million lives," says producer and artist Mark Ronson. "Leigh puts on some of the most memorable events. The Black Ball, the annual fundraising event for Keep a Child Alive, has featured mini concerts with everyone from Adele to Jay Z. The Other Ball is going to be its cool little sibling."
More black leather than black tie, The Other Ball is not your parents' dinner party. Transforming the venue into a living room experience, guests will be treated to performances by some of the world's most sought after artists for an eclectic evening of music destined to bring hope to children in need.
"We are excited to reboot and rewrite the script on the fundraiser by not following the rules! This event will feel like having some of the most amazing artists play in your living room," says Leigh Blake, President of Arms Around the Child. "With the incredible efforts of Mark Ronson, we have managed to secure an amazing lineup of the best of today's voices who are graciously helping us rescue kids from the worst of the human condition and give them a chance at life. Thank you TOPSHOP TOPMAN for your support in helping us in our mission."
The Other Ball is a fundraising event that harnesses the power of the collective to benefit children suffering in the developing world. Millions of children have lost their parents, become infected with HIV or other diseases, fallen prey to those out to harm them and have been trafficked, sold or sexually abused. Arms Around the Child wants to provide safe, loving homes to as many of these children as possible and advocate for a kinder world for children.
ABOUT ARMS AROUND THE CHILD: A 501(c)(3) organization, AATC works to provide a loving home, medical treatment, protection, respect and education for children who have lost their parents to AIDS or who are living in adversity, suffering from sexual abuse, neglect, or exploitation. Providing a sense of community, safety, and understanding for children who are vulnerable, living in child headed households, abused, neglected, stigmatized or abandoned is at the heart of our mission. AATC advocates for the needs of these children so they may be the last generation to experiences the trauma of losing their parents from preventable, treatable diseases. AATC believes in a global future where all children in adversity have their lives transformed into a bright future.

The One World Government Enviro Conspiracy Strikes Again!
Hey, watermelon! Yeah, you. Green on the outside, and commie pinko on the inside. We're on to you.
We found out about your latest evil plan dictated by your UN masters. No, not the one to tax us to death for carbon. And not the one to infringe our liberties by telling us we can't use toxic chemicals in our homes if we want to. Something even more insidious.
You want to force God-fearing Americans to sit on uncomfortable seats. And get sweaty. And wear silly helmets. You're part of the international conspiracy to promote ... BICYCLE RIDING!
Don't believe this is real? Then you haven't been listening to Dan Maes, a major party candidate for governor in Colorado.
He ripped the mask off of Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper's plan to promote biking in town. This bike-sharing plan apparently has the support of something sinister called the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives - you know, the group whose members include other commie communities like Dallas, Texas, and Norfolk, Virginia, and Norman, Oklahoma, and Salt Lake City, Utah.
The bike plan pretends to be about improving health and reducing air pollution. But Maes told it like it is. According to the Denver Post yesterday:
- "Dan Maes says a Denver bike-sharing program could threaten residents' 'personal freedoms' because it is part of an attempt to control U.S. cities."
- "Maes said last week that an international environmental group that promotes Denver's B-Cycle program is part of a 'greater strategy to rein in American cities under a United Nations treaty.'"
- "Maes made the comments at a rally where he criticized Democratic Mayor John Hickenlooper's initiative to increase bicycling in the Denver through the bike-sharing program. B-Cycle allows people to use about 400 bicycles at dozens of stations around the city for a daily or monthly fee."
- "'This is bigger than it looks like on the surface, and it could threaten our personal freedoms,' Maes said."
- Maes campaign spokesman "Nate Strauch told The Associated Press that Maes was trying to say that the biking initiative is a 'gateway program' being pushed by ECLEI on cities that eventually lead to extreme measures, such as the promotion of abortions and population control."
- "Maes said he thought promoting more bicycling was pretty harmless at first, but he realized later 'that's exactly the attitude they want you to have.'"
- Maes campaign spokesman Strauch said "''It's all part of this population control mentality that we as humans are the disease.'"
You've been warned. Beware the biking-abortion-death panel conspiracy. Make them rip you out of your Hummer when they pry your cold, dead fingers off the steering wheel.

Today Edge Preview 3.1 was released on Adobe Labs. Preview 3 is set to expire on December 31, 2011, regardless of when it was installed. Preview 3.1 extends the expiration until Preview 4 is available in January.
To continue using Edge, please follow these steps:
- Uninstall the version you currently have.
– Mac: Run the Edge Uninstaller in the folder named "Adobe Edge Preview", located in Applications
– Windows: Uninstall "Adobe Edge Preview" using Add or Remove Programs
- Download Edge Preview 3.1
- Unzip the file and run the Adobe Installer
We intended to release Preview 4 before Preview 3 expires, but we feel it needs more work before making it available. We are VERY excited about the new features we're working on, and think it will be worth the wait. Preview 4 will introduce:
- Symbols: Create reusable objects that animate and interact independently of the main composition.
- Persistent Code Panel: Easily navigate to any code in your composition.
- Element Display: Manage an element's lifetime so they're displayed only when needed.
Preview 4 will also include improvements to usability, as well as fit and finish.
Thanks for using Edge and being a part of our community. We're sorry for the trouble and appreciate your understanding. Stay tuned for more updates on Preview 4, and Happy Holidays!
The download link isn't working.
Great! Can't wait. Will 4 have more API features? I would love a bytesLoaded for preloading heavy stuff. This product is so close to being a viable production tool! I'm stoked.
I can't find the uninstaller (not listed in the programs in the add/remove programs).
It seems that I have version 1 installed (maybe the version 3 is on my laptop)…
I'm on Windows 7 64bits, but my laptop is on Windows 7 32bits and from memory, I didn't find it on it either. Usually, when we run an installer on a software that is already installed, it allows us to uninstall it, but not this time…
Fortunately, I still had what seemed to be the Preview 1 installer… I was able to install it, then it appeared into my add/remove program… So I uninstalled it and then was able to install Preview 3.1… I hope I won't have the same problem going from 3.1 to 4 (and on my laptop)…
This is excellent news! Thanks for adding the immensely useful interactivity functions to Edge 3.1 preview. Looking forward to Edge 4!
Awesome!!! can't wait til 4 is here!!! I am a flash animator and I can't wait to use symbols again!!!!
Is it just me, or did you remove some of the effects (bouncing etc…) that you could do before?
Actually, it's good to see you decided to hold off and delay the release until it really worked. Edge looks very interesting, and I've already tried it out on my website.
I looked for the uninstaller in Application>Adobe Edge but did not see it there. Is there a link? Or am I just missing something?
I don't understand you send a mass email to download edge 3.1 and i get error processing request is adobe getting overwhelmed??

Excel in intellectual leadership, scientific independence
The PhD Degree is the most advanced degree UW Bioengineering students can earn. Students come to this multidisciplinary biomedical research and engineering program from a wide array of backgrounds, including (but not limited to) bioengineering, chemical engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, computer science and electrical engineering.
Graduates of the program demonstrate high achievement in bioengineering, and excel in intellectual leadership and independence as a scientific researcher. To earn the PhD, students must take rigorous courses inside and outside the department and complete an original, independent research project. PhD students must successfully complete three major examinations: the Qualifying Examination, the General Examination and the Final Examination (dissertation defense).
We invite you to invent the future of medicine with us. Learn more about applying to the UW Bioengineering Ph.D. program.
About the Program
- First Year – Complete 1 or 2 lab rotations (with the option of a third) and select a thesis advisor no later than the end of Spring Quarter.
- Second Year – Continue to conduct research and pass the Qualifying Exam before the end of Spring Quarter.
- Third Year – Form a Supervisory Committee by the end of Autumn Quarter. Have Academic Plan reviewed by the committee within one quarter of establishing the committee. Pass the General Exam before the end of Summer Quarter.
- Fourth/Fifth Year – Make an annual progress report to the Supervisory Committee and receive feedback from committee. Defend the dissertation and graduate.
Qualifying Examination
This is the first test, after admission, of a Bioengineering student's potential for a successful career in original bioengineering research at the doctoral level. The Qualifying Exam is designated to evaluate a student's scientific knowledge, research, presentation skills, creativity and time management. This exam is taken before the end of the second year (Spring Quarter). The exam determines whether the student should continue in the doctoral program.
During the exam a subset of the faculty assesses the student's research proficiency and innovation, progress toward mastery of the chosen field, general knowledge, ability to do focused work, oral and written communication skills, common sense and potential as a researcher. Students must pass the qualifying examination to remain in the PhD program. The exam consists of two parts:
1. Written portion
The written portion is in two parts. One part of the written exam will assess the student's research progress. The second part is written in response to the NIH Exploratory/Developmental Research Grant Award (R21) proposal.
2. Oral portion
The oral portion tests oral communication skills, depth of knowledge of the independent research project, innovation of the R-21 proposal topic, and breadth of knowledge of bioengineering as a discipline.
General Examination
The General Examination is used to determine the soundness, significance and originality of the student's research project, as well as test the clarity and thoroughness of the student's understanding. The examination provides an opportunity for the student to justify his/her research vision, describe the initial experimental plan, and present preliminary data demonstrating feasibility of the project. The examination also affords an opportunity to correct deficiencies in the student's overall educational program that become evident during the course of the exam. Passing the examination advances the student to PhD or doctoral candidacy status.
The General Exam should be completed no less than three quarters before the Final Examination, but it is strongly advised that it be scheduled as early as possible, preferably about one year after passing the Qualifying Examination. The Supervisory Committee will expect sufficient preliminary research to assess the likelihood of successful completion of the PhD.
Final Examination
The final examination occurs when the Supervisory Committee agrees that the student's research is complete. The examination is the oral defense of the student's doctoral dissertation. The dissertation demonstrates that its author has completed an original and independent investigation of a significant problem. The dissertation reflects the student's competence to deal with a significant research problem, to understand its position in the field of bioengineering, to glean significant information from the work done, and to master the techniques necessary to extract, interpret and use the data that come from the work. The dissertation provides evidence that the student can recognize an important problem, acquire the data to answer the questions posted within that problem, and extend the results of the answered questions to other problems of significance.
First-Year Advising
First-year students are assigned a preliminary faculty advisor from the appropriate research theme and then prepare a preliminary plan of study. To ensure that adequate progress is made, first-year students are expected to meet with the preliminary faculty advisor as needed. Quarterly meetings are recommended for students who are still involved in substantial course work, in order to select an appropriate study plan.
Research Advisor
Once a student identifies a specific laboratory to work in, the faculty member of that lab will become the primary research advisor. The advisor assumes primary responsibility for guiding the student toward academic and professional goals and provides dissertation direction. Once a research advisor is identified, the student notifies the Senior Academic Counselor and the preliminary advisor.
Supervisory Committee
The student, in consultation with the research advisor, assembles a Supervisory Committee, which the research advisor will chair. The committee reviews academic performance and oversees progress according to guidelines established by the Department and the Graduate School. The committee should meet at least yearly to monitor progress. The committee also administers and assesses the general and final examinations.
The committee should consist of at least four members, including the research advisor as committee chair and a Graduate School faculty representative. At least two members must be part of the Bioengineering core faculty.
In addition to the required courses, students must complete 1-2 laboratory rotations and 1 Teaching Assistantship.

Both movies and a bowling alley are available in Franklin. North of Franklin 10 miles is Greenwood with more to offer. Greenwood mall for 1 thing. Some nice eating establishments too. If you want the value sandwich of the day, try the Patriot's Grill across the street on Madison from the Greenwood mall with a stacked French dip sandwich today for $1.99!
15 miles south of Franklin on I-65 at exit 76 is the hugh 76 antique mall where you can easily spend hours there as I do.
If none of this excites you, there is always the Franklin city library where you can spend your time or stroll the Franklin College campus.
I'm sure you'll find something to occupy your time.
RT @ArashMarkazi: Kobe Bryant used "stupid" and "idiotic" to describe fans and pundits who want the Lakers to scrap offense after 2 games.
What Kobe wants he gets I bet they stick with it and at years end they will be better for it
Ah. Franklin college. My undergrad alma mater. Love the place. My vote is to get a reuben and a pitcher of beer at The Willard in downtown Franklin. Was just there today. Wish i would have seen this earlier. I would've bought you that pitcher of beverage today.

Genuine question:Is Avery Johnson a good coach?Is he still living on his title run with the Mavs thus still having a job in the NBA?
Paul George and Kuwait together would have been nice.
I don't know what happened to Perkins but he has become such a waste of space.
SA and OKC have a really good bench.
OKC's offense still sucks.
I wonder where are the Diaw haters? yes I'm looking at you Peck
Dayum!! Timmy just dunked on Serge. Went old school on him...
Probably, his hands are huge so I believe that ...
@AlexKennedyNBA: Tim Duncan posterizes Serge Ibaka: http://t.co/AR993A0s
You don't wanna push Pop's buttons, that's for sure.
I'm not sure if Brooks is a good coach, all he does is call Iso plays.
What is up with these teams giving 40+ million dollar contracts to mediocre and unproven guards? DeRozan? Holiday? Curry?
You can't get champagne from a garden hose.
ISO is all you need when you have Dirk in his prime. "Pump Fake, Pump Fake, Shoot! Good job big fella!"
Dirk was almost automatic from midrange during Avery's tenure.

Parker is the man wow.
You're talking about 2 different coaches...
I still remember the time many here didn't want to trade Danny for Parker because Parker was old and broken down
Duncan has had a nice start to the season.
TNT just showed Westbrook's mental error that cost them the game. Complete lost Parker under the basket staring at Martin

Nokia beats Samsung and Sony as a most trusted brand... in India
0. phoneArena posted on 30 Jan 2013, 08:43
It turns out Nokia is still one of the most respected technology brands in some places in the world. Of course, we would always treat Nokia with the respect it deserves, but we wouldn't necessarily put it right there next to the very best manufacturers of the modern history of smartphones. Not yet, at least...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

Most trustworthy? But Samsung and Sony are tops there. Who cares.

you blind? India is nokia's territory.

Last year samsung was the most trusted brand in India soon it'll be back in the position

You are the only one saying the truth and everyone thumbed you down!
I know because I am an Indian and I have the subscription of a magazine called Digit (http://www.thinkdigit.com/ ). They were the ones who conducted the test. Nokia was second and Samsung was first.

Ya dont say? I wonder what phones they are using now.
I wonder if its those old 90s Nokias with an antenna or the generation like the N-Gage.
17. dan86 (Posts: 298; Member since: 17 Mar 2012)
A simple answer to that is people in countries like India value money. They want use of the single penny they spend. I guess these company don't disappoint them in so.

Everybody here in India know about Samsung's bad Quality, whereas Sony's quality is good. but when it comes to Build Quality Nokia is Unbeatable.
And yes i'm a Nokia Fanboy but i currently have a Samsung Galaxy S Advance and it is the best in it's Price Range and one of the best Smartphones ever purchased by me (performance only,not quality wise).

"But Samsung and Sony are tops 'there'..." There? There?
You're not from India so how will you know??
You might know Indians love Nokia but you will never know who's on top unless you analyse it yourself or read it somewhere. Unless you're not sure, don't talk like what you know is the fact.
60. apexKBC (Posts: 92; Member since: 10 Dec 2012)
Trustworthy doesnt mean dat Nokia has more better phones than any other.
Its just that people in India love nokia blindly.

Before the bash, here's why I said so...
as much as I manage to persuade people to use iPhone, I just can't deal with this ethnic... 8 of my Indian friends, none of them want to listen my persuasion...
one of my neighbor, Indian as well, who owns a galaxy s3, has a several issue on it and decided to send to the service center, nearby, the repair is free, but it takes two months to return it... Seriously, two months? He loss his patient, and here's my chance to introduce him an iPhone5 :)
but in the end, he bought lumia 920 as an alternative, because he say his wife's Nokia n8 is running like a champ still...
man I thought they just physically strong, but mentally strong too? I surrender :p

Indians by and large recognize iPhone as an overpriced piece only meant to show off and no more. Imaging iPhone 5 64 GB at 60K. You can get a 125cc bike (suzuki /honda ) for less here :)

Well, some people like me, do get addicted to the number of apps. I am 16 and I own a galaxy Mini. Granted, that's not much to brag about. But I still get amazed by the humongous number of apps in Android.

Nah. I have parents. I do get scholarship though. But it's not enough to buy a phone.

actually you show off with a phablet because people get impressed about size and how it differences from phones.Iphones have the same design since 2010 so people migth think that u have a 4 instead of a 5 so, it doesnt make people drool

It is the same case in Pakistan too, with Nokia. Lately, past couple of years or can say last year was mostly Samsung's year here but as soon as Nokia's Asha with full touch start moving in, you again can see it everywhere.
People of these countries are grow up with Nokia. Loving Nokia is in their nature, there is no other way to put it.

What brain, its all gone to Nokia, they still believe that Symbian is better than GB2.3.3, how weird. Nokias Wp sales are in deep red, all there Lamia range aren't selling, due to Symbian being Better, and not everyone can afford mid-to hi spec phones™®©
71. techspace (Posts: 1036; Member since: 03 Sep 2012)
my dear friend,you much accept that nokia's phones are more reliable than samsung's
and if you think that indians don't like android,you are wrong, samsung's smartphone marketshare in india has increased faster than nokia's smartphone marketshare......
samsung has said that there is a huge demand for the galaxy s3 and the galaxy note 2 in india, so unlike the other companies, they allow these devices to be sold for cheaper rates and they will not collect the extra taxes from the customers
i don't know about you, but many of my friends have the galaxy phones and the ipads.....but they keep saying that their phones aren't as reliable as nokia's
And you seem to be a rare indian fanboy....and talking about your fav actor srk......i have seen srk using a Nokia phone and my friend said that he also uses an ipad
Nokia lumia phones aren't very successful because people know that as of now, android is better than windows phone os
and talking about affordability, india is the largest consumer of gold and silver in the world......India's rich outnumber the population of the USA.....most of the indians have enough gold to buy the high end phones,tablets and laptops, for many many years.....if we can buy gold, we can also buy a smartphone, infact gold makes you feel that the smartphones are very very cheap
Indians are intelligent in spending their money, and this is the attitude that has forced our carriers to slash the call rates, sms rates.....and we don't have locked phones in india because we know that locked phones end up costing us more than the unlocked phones

Eateries seek to serve with a swipe
Seton Hill University students and Greensburg restaurants would benefit if the students could use an access card, similar to a debit card, to buy food in the city, business leaders and others said.
"It should have been done from day one," said Lisa Hegedus, owner of Caffé Barista on West Otterman Street. "It's ultimately a win-win for everyone."
Under a "Flex" progam, preloaded money is placed into a student's account on a university identification card so it can be spent at two dining facilities on the Greensburg campus. Funds are deducted via the card with each purchase.
If the cards could be used at city eateries, "I think it would be awesome for a lot of businesses in town," said Rachel Flowers, owner of Sun Dawg Cafe on North Main Street. "I think it would generate business."
During a recent council meeting, James Albert asked officials whether they might help encourage Seton Hill officials to allow the card to be used at city restaurants.
Many other universities and colleges have set up arrangements so their students can use similar cards at restaurants and other establishments, Albert said.
"I think it would benefit the restaurants in the town and the students," added Albert, who said he was speaking as a Greensburg resident and not in his official capacity as a district judge.
Albert formerly operated Doe's East Coast Dogs in the Stark Building in the city. Charlie's restaurant took over where Doe's had operated for about three years before closing.
Mayor Ron Silvis told Albert he likes the idea of students having the option of using the card.
In an interview this week, Silvis said university officials would need to set up a special system so the cards could be used at Greensburg restaurants, and that may pose a stumbling block.
"Somebody needs to pay the bill" for the installation and maintenance of the system, he said.
Costs to set up the system could not be immediately determined.
Students at the Seton Hill Performing Arts Center downtown now must return to campus if they want to use the card, Hegedus said.
"That makes no sense," she said.
Caffé Barista tailored part of its menu to satisfy the palates of students, Hegedus said.
Many students spend their entire school day downtown in the arts center in the heart of Greensburg, Albert said. More students will be coming into the city when the soon-to-be-constructed visual arts center is finished downtown, he said.
In an emailed statement, Seton Hill university officials said they would consider the suggestion, as they have other recommendations, but could make no commitment.
"The university is always looking for a way to engage the Greensburg business community in a positive way," it said. "We have in the past explored the use of flex dollars by Seton Hill students at local restaurants and merchants.
"We will continue to investigate such a program and would consider implementing it as long as it would be mutually beneficial to both the university and the businesses," the statement said.

1 Recommendation
DiamondDollsCouture's recommendation
Again, inspired from the Moulin Rouge! The movie, Hindi Sad Diamonds is one of the songs in its amazing soundtrack - a delicious, racy soundtrack that is equal parts cabaret, glam rock and trip-hop. I just love the lyrical name of Hindi Sad Diamonds and named the next piece after it. Sadly though, this piece does not have any diamonds in it. Instead she is made entirely of antique brass, sparkly swarovski crystals, seed beads and vintage diamante chains. And so, Hindi Sad Diamonds become Hindi Sad Diamante. :P A gorgeous hoop earring that drops approximately 2â from top of the hoop and span almost 1â in diameter. Gorgeous, Bollywood-inspired and one of a kind design.

Rick Ross Says 'It's All About Children' — REALLY?? [VIDEO]
This is LAUGHABLE to me!
Rick Ross, at Samsung's "Hope For Children" event, said that "it's all about the children."
What's even more UNREAL (to me anyway) are his comments stating he's a new father and family man, and that "he's gotta do what he's gotta do"!!!!
Does "doing what he's gotta do" include being involved with WALE'S new CD…which obviously is made for CHILDREN…NOT!

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
Just posting this blog tonight hoping it might save someone else a bunch of time. For call recording on Skype, I use a program called Pamela. Lately, when I'd first installed it, it would work fine. Later, however, it would come up and say:
"Another application (Pamela.exe) is attempting to access Skype, but we are unable to respond".
You just have to love these sorts of messages that don't give you the slightest clue about what the problem is.
While I saw the problem with Pamela, it can happen with any Skype add-in. The problem actually is related to UAC. If Skype is running as non-admin (startup app in windows) and you launch the other app as admin, you'll get this error message. Amazingly, running the add-in without admin privileges makes it work. The irony is that I was trying it as admin because I thought that would make sure it works.
Hope that helps someone else as I certainly wasted endless hours trying to work out what was wrong. And a big raspberry to the Skype guys for the "useful" error message.

Thank you very much! I had been trying to solve it for some days. The reason was VS with admin rights.
I've been having this problem for about a month now. I've tried uninstalling both programs, and still have the same problem. I am not sure that the Pamela is running with admin privleges or not, but I am still stumped on how to fix this problem.
I've even emailed Pamela support and they are clueless. Can you elaborate a little more on the fix you are talking about. Specifically not running Pamela as administrator? How to you do that?
ps. Many hours trying to fix this already invested
Hi Rich,
The problem I had is that I kept trying to right-click Pamela and use "Run as administrator". I did that because I thought it would have more chance of running. But turns out that I was causing the problem by doing that.
I had Skype running from startup (as non-admin), and Pamela (as admin) couldn't connect to it. As soon as I ran it as non-admin, it worked.
The only other thing I found that was an issue was to start by making sure that there are no entries for Pamela in the allowed add-ons area for Skype, before installing Pamela.
After that, it just seemed to work, as long as I responded to allow it when I first launched it.
This app seems to work not very stable. I tried it a few times and all the time it let me down at very important business conversations. Not very pleasant consequences though!
Better try MX Skype Recorder
which is very simple and reliable, works in fully automatic or manual mode and supports various voip apps.

Tuesday 12th of June sees the return of Moon Duo to Brighton. The band was formed in 2009 by Ripley Johnson of San Franciscan psychedelic noise droners Wooden Shjips, and his partner, Sanae Yamada. However, this is much more than a mere side project; Moon Duo retain Wooden Shjips' love of hypnotic synths played at head exploding volume, but take this down a more krautrock inspired route, weaving fuzzy guitars and ghostly vocals into a dense sound mantra. Hints of Suicide and Spacemen 3 are evident, but essentially the pair create a sound very much their own; a mesmerising, swirling cacophony of epic proportions, the blistering heat of the American desert set to a restrained motorik beat.
Their second album, Mazes was released last year on the impressively rostered Souterrain Transmissions label to a rapturous welcome, and ended the year riding high on many 'best of 2011' lists. A remix album quickly followed, boasting reinterpretations by such luminaries as Spacemen 3/Spectrum's moog wielding shaman, Sonic Boom. So if you ever wished Lift To Experience had a drum machine, or that Kraftwerk would just sometimes just lose it a bit, then head down to the Green Door Store for a night of sonic mind-expansion, and be sure to get there early as support comes from Brighton's premier exporters of volume, Negative Pegasus.

On March 18, 2011, at approximately 7:00 a.m., a 12-year old male victim was walking to his bus stop when he approached Cockerille Avenue and Kansas Avenue. A Hispanic-looking male stopped near the victim, exited his vehicle and chased the victim at a full sprint in an attempt to grab him. The victim fled and was pursued by the suspect briefly. The victim fled to his residence and the suspect was seen casually returning to his vehicle and fleeing the area from Circle Avenue, making a right on to Kansas Avenue. The suspect is described as a tan-skinned Hispanic-looking male, approximately 240-250 lbs., approximately 5'8, clean-shaven, short black hair, round fat-face with pimples, last seen wearing a red baseball cap, solid navy blue dress shirt with collar, the shirt was outside the pants, pressed. His pants were baggy, dark blue jeans, wrinkled. His belly was big overall, but did not hang over his pants. He was last seen driving a black, 2-door Toyota Echo with tinted rear windows. There was a scratch on the bumper and the vehicle was described as "quiet sounding." The vehicle was equipped with factory wheels.
A look-out has been given to all surrounding jurisdictions. Marked and unmarked police vehicles have been increased in and around the schools and area. The Principal at Takoma Park Middle School was notified and a letter is being sent home.
Parents and Children – Safety Tips*:
Children should travel with a friend, or better yet, a group of friends when riding a bike or walking to or from school or other destinations.
If someone follows you on foot, get away as quickly as you can. Go to someone's house you know, or run to other people, or just run away.
If someone is following you in a car, turn around and go in the opposite direction or take a path where a car would not go.
Parents should not become lax about kids going to a friend's home in a neighborhood--even if it is only a few doors away. Snatchings can happen in an instant; even under a parent's watchful eye. The key is to keep your eye on a youngster. Older youth should be instructed to call when they arrive at a friend's home for peace of mind and as a good safety tip practice.
If at all possible, an adult should greet youngsters as they get off a school bus, and not have them walk home alone.
Adults should understand that boys are at just as greatest of risk as girls. It is a common safety tip misconception that child molesters or perpetrators are typically men and seek only girls. Molesters come in all ages and both genders, and their victims can be of either sex.
Parents should begin reinforcing these safety tips as soon as a kid is old enough to understand, and above all, ensure that their child feels comfortable enough in discussing these issues, their concerns or fears, or any potentially inappropriate events that have possibly transpired. Awareness of these safety tips can help kids be less susceptible to any stranger dangers.

In a recent guest commentary (Dec. 23, 2012) in the Ahwatukee Foothills News ("A weaponized America makes the slaughter so much easier"), Mike McClellan draws parallel between gun ownership and crime rate. One question Mr. McClellan should ask before arguing for more regulations is how many lives were saved this year because of private gun ownership. Several different surveys exist and these surveys show that there were between 760,000 and 3 million defensive gun uses per year resulting in countless saved lives.
If you believe regulating fire arms will reduce crimes I urge you to look to other countries with strict gun laws. China had multiple incidents in 2012 where adults killed or injured school children. One incident took place on Dec. 14, when a knife-wielding man injures 23 children outside a primary school in Henan. Norway is another country with strict gun laws, and yet on July 22, 2011, a person bombed the government buildings in Oslo (capital of Norway), which resulted in eight deaths. He then carried out a mass shooting at a camp on the island of Utøya. This person went unopposed around the island for 44 minutes shooting and killing 69 people, mostly students. In Mexico it is illegal for private citizen to own firearms, and yet more than 30,000 people were killed last year by fully automatic fire arms.
I urge people to consider the positive side of private gun ownership and consider the following: The average response time for the police in Phoenix is close to five minutes (for the SWAT team the response time is more). How many shots can a person fire in five minutes? How many lives would be lost? Many.
In my humble opinion, the answer is not more gun regulation, but rather that citizens must take responsibility for their own safety. The government should not restrict a personal preference for protection, because bad people will always find a way to obtain regulated/forbidden fire arms.
Remember what Thomas Jefferson said: "Those who hammer their guns into plows will plow for those who do not."

Greg Kihn's RUBBER SOUL Now Available From Premier Digital Publishing
by BWW News Desk - September 03, 2013
Premier Digital Publishing is proud to announce the publication of Rubber Soul by Rock 'N Roll legend Greg Kihn in print (ISBN 978-1-62467-094-7,$16.99) and eBook (ISBN 978-1-62467-093-0, $9.99). Greg Kihn continues to pioneer the rock thriller genre with Rubber Soul, an exhilarating ride through Beatlemania featuring The Beatles themselves. The idea for Rubber Soul originated from his interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Pete Best, Yoko Ono, Patti Harrison, and Geoff Emerick. When asked where The Beatles found the rare American R&B 45's that constituted their early repertoire, Pete Best revealed that it was from Merchant Marines who carried the records back to Liverpool from America. From there, came the fictional Dust Bin Bob, a character who befriends The Beatles from their penniless early days and saves them from an assassination attempt in the Philippines during their world tour in 1966. Rubber Soul is a work of fiction with 100% historically accurate details. This fast paced plot, full of intrigue, also incorporates historically accurate facts as well as previously unpublished information about the Beatles' early years. (more...)

RESEARCH FOCUS AREA: Social Transformation
Message from the Director
Focus Area: Social Transformation established itself over the past 4 years as a leading research institution and a dynamo for change in the repositioning of the Faculty and Campus in a research orientated way. This perspective can be motivated in terms of a major improvement in article output, project research and the enrolment of master's and doctorate students.
The Focus Area concentrates on the following research programmes namely:
Governance and Transformation.
Corporate Social Responsibility.
Social Dynamics.
Foundation Studies.
Water Studies.
Disaster Studies (established centre).
Communication in a transforming South African society.
It is my judgement that this Focus Area could be instrumental in the fulfilment of the University's vision to be a pre-eminent University in Africa, driven by the pursuit of knowledge and innovation.
History of the Focus Area
The Focus Area: Sustainable Social Development was established in 2000, but was only fully operational in 2004. During 2006 the termination of the Focus Area: Sustainable Social Development was considered as the Director and the Secretary had resigned. The demands of the management model (research has to be managed in a focused manner) rather than the conviction that the focus was one hundred percent correct, facilitated the decision to continue with Focus Area: Sustainable Social Development. When Prof Duvenhage assumed his duties as Director of the Focus Area during October 2006 he found a Focus Area without any permanent staff. Most of the tasks were dealt with by the School of Philosophy as an emergency measure.
Since 2007 the Focus Area developed new research- and post-graduate programmes operating under a new name and management structure. Article output, post-graduate enrolment and project research improved in a dramatic way. During 2009 the article output of 57.75 was the highest on Campus and the NWU.
Currently Focus Area: Social Transformation is one of the leading research structures in the Faculty of Arts and instrumental in the repositioning of the Faculty as a research orientated institution and a dynamic force in the external environment.

Melissa McCarthy Makes Another Loser Lovable in 'Tammy'
As a comedian, one of Melissa McCarthy's most remarkable talents is to take the weirdos she plays and make them lovable. Because what's funny about someone you're not rooting for? It looks like McCarthy's done it again in Tammy.
Since the plot is a little hazy from this teaser, allow me to explain. In Tammy, McCarthy plays an employee of the burger joint you see her robbing. After losing her job and finding out her husband is cheating, Tammy goes on a road trip with her profane, drunken grandmother Pearl. (Pearl is, by the way, played by Susan Sarandon.) Why yes, I think Tammy just did become your most anticipated film of 2014.
In case all that wasn't incentive enough, Tammy was co-written by McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, who directed the movie.

According to the Manhattan Borough President and the New York Civil Liberties Union, "military recruiters are frequently given free reign in New York City public schools and allowed into classes in violation of the school system's regulations." That's basically the first paragraph of the article. The next few read as follows:
The report, based on surveys of nearly 1,000 students at 45 high schools citywide last spring, said the city's Department of Education exercised almost no oversight over how much access recruiters had to students at high schools.
"There were recruiters who were in the classroom not to talk to students about reading, writing and arithmetic, but to talk to them about how to get a one-way ticket to Iraq and all the benefits you will accrue by that process," Scott M. Stringer, the Manhattan borough president, said at a news conference. "This is something that must be stopped. It's outrageous, and it gives recruiters a captive audience."
Nearly all the speakers at the news conference, including Mr. Stringer, said they were opposed to the war in Iraq.
The NYCLU goes on to criticize recruiters for "aggressive" recruiting in predominantly minority schools. In the same paragraph (the 8th in the story, by the way) we're informed of the something quite pertinent: The authors conceded that the report was not a scientific study.
Oh! In other words, it's an opinion piece by an anti-war group masquerading as a "study."

Andrew Meredith … Accessory designer Ally Capellino, who created a range of tan leather coin holders for the hotel, says Ace's late founder Alex Calderwood wandered around the area looking for local artisans. "He came into the shop one day and asked if I would do something for the hotel," she says. "We make the coin holders down the road in a Hackney factory. All credit to Ace. They have been very clever about unity with the area." Andrew Meredith … The Ace Hotel asked London designers Barber Osgerby and Universal Design Studios to draw on the East End's rich history, ensuring that the Shoreditch hotel was designed by—and catered to—the local artisan community. Pictured here is one of the 258 rooms. Andrew Meredith … UXUA, Trancoso, Brazil A series of converted houses and villas on Trancoso's idyllic town square, a stone's throw from the ocean, Uxua is the culmination of the years owner Wilbert Das, the former creative director of Diesel, spent immersed in the design world—and his desire to keep every single aspect, from artisans to materials, as local as possible. Fernando Lombardi … "I was really inspired by our collaborators' skill and enthusiasm and we were able to take the localism to very surprising lengths," says Mr. Das. "And really from this an entire local industry was born. Nowadays, all the artisans that worked with us creating Uxua have their own companies and the local style is becoming a fast-growing trend in Trancoso." Fernando Lombardi … This reading lamp is constructed from a Brauna tree branch, resin and woven palm fiber (locally called piacaba), while the mineral water containers are made from wicker and cut, recycled bottles Fernando Lombardi … GENERATOR, Barcelona With a penthouse suite with a wraparound terrace offering views of the Sagrada Familia and Taschen books artfully flung on Perspex tables, the 154-room Generator Barcelona is hardly your average hostel. Nikolas Koenig … Generator's "bird cage" lobby adds to the overall ambience of the place. "I wanted to ensure a memory was created," says Josh Wyatt, investment director of hospitality and leisure for Patron Capital, which owns the Generator Group. Nikolas Koenig … The 300-plus lanterns in the rear bar are inspired by the Festa Major de Gràcia, an annual street party in the neighborhood. The Tres Tintas wallpaper, reclaimed wood panels, Ivanka Flaster floor tiles and orange tone-on-tone furnishings all add to the fun vibe. Nikolas Koenig … ANDAZ PAPAGAVO, Costa Rica This retreat was designed by architect Ronald Zürcher in such a way as to integrate the hotel into the surrounding landscape. The hotel facade is made of bamboo from the Guanacaste region, where the hotel opened in December. Pictured, the lounge entrance. Andres Garcia Lachner … Inside, the lighting fixtures that furniture designer Kenneth Cobonpue created for the 153 rooms were inspired by the nests of golden orioles, one of the country's 812 bird species. Rooms also include woven textiles and carved artifacts made by artisans and groups of women from the surrounding area. Andres Garcia Lachner … The hotel's picturesque lounge. "During our walks through the site we found several archaeological pre-Columbian pieces made out of lava rock and clay," says Mr. Zürcher. "We use the same source of inspiration." Andres Garcia Lachner … MARMARA PARK AVENUE, New York From the lobby's handblown-glass bar to the vestibule assembled using 670 pieces of faceted steel, almost everything at this hotel, which will open its doors in the end of August, has been custom-designed by artisans in New York and New Jersey. Marmara Park Avenue … Along with the wellness center's lap pool, the hotel will have 128 rooms guest rooms and suites, including 40 with private terraces and three penthouse suites. There will also be events spaces.

THE military is working flat out to ensure a safe and secure Games in Weymouth and Portland .
They are using X-ray machines, checking bags and carrying out comprehensive searches in an airport-style security operation at the Olympic site.
The military securing Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy and the Olympic Village showcased the ring of steel security in a demonstration, highlighting their efforts to ensure every person and vehicle is searched before entering the site.
The security is run by Dorset Police and London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games (LOCOG).
They are also working closely with Dorset Fire and Rescue Service and the Royal Marines.
The military security poeration, based at Chickerell Camp, is working until after the Paralympic Games at the end of September.
Brigadier Piers Hankinson, commander in chief of the 43 Wessex brigade, said: "This is a truly integrated and inter-agency and a joint effort for the games, it's very impressive how all the players have come together."
He added: "Previous national exercises allowed us to work through many of the problems before they have arisen. We aim to ensure that the site is one hundred percent clean."
The soldiers, some of which were previously based in Afghanistan and Iran have been invited to watch some of the Sailing .
Brig Hankinson said: "The Nothe has been very kind in letting our men watch the Games there in their down time."
Lieutenant Colonel Dickie Trant, commanding officer said: "The support here at Chickerell Camp was assigned back in February this year and has not been a surprise.
"They have had thorough training exercises with the Dorset Police to get an understanding of how the police operate.
"The soldiers have really stepped up to the plate for the Olympics ."
The national contractor G4S, the world's biggest private security company, failed to train enough security staff for the Olympics, leading to soldiers and extra police being enlisted into the security.
Kieran Sherring and Seb Green from Dorset are involved in the security at the Chickerell camp and on Portland, searching vehicles and using the x-ray machinery.
Kieran, of Bridport, said: "We see all the athletes and all the different countries coming through and they all seem really friendly."
Seb, of 6 Rifles and from Weymouth, said: "I help to ensure the safety and security of the camp. I took a week-long course put together by G4S before this."
Seb took part in a walk round Britain in 2008, to raise money for charity and to pay off debts accumulated after a joy riding boat incident. He received a lot of praise when he raised more than £30,000 trying to make amends and helping others.
He added: "Primarily my role is to stop people bringing in unwanted items but we also integrate well with the royal marines, it's really good to work together,"
Lieutenant Colonel Brendan Shaw, commander for the regional recruiting in Wessex, said: "The Olympic security shows that as a reserve you have an array of opportunities . It's a valuable role in supporting the community."
Borough's thank-you to military
Military staff were thanked for giving up their time to make sure the Games stay safe, at an event at the Bincleaves site.
Soldiers, sailors, marines and Territorial Army Reservists have been providing security.
To say thank you, a hospitality day was hosted by Weymouth and Portland Borough Council and West Dorset District Council so military staff and their families could enjoy a day together, relax and to watch the sailing events.
Lance Corporal Jonathan Garner-Richardson of the Royal Wessex Yeomanry said: "It has been a brilliant day and nice to be rewarded for our efforts.
"It is great being so close to the water and having such a good view of the sailing."
Staff Sergeant Tim Score, Royal Wessex Yeomanry said: "Today is a great opportunity to sit outside and see some of the events.
"And also we're grateful that our participation has been acknowledged."
Brigadier Piers Hankinson, Commander 43 Wessex Brigade and Joint Military Commander Dorset said: "I think this sends out a very clear message for which I am very grateful."

Australia's port operators have called for greater emphasis on productivity in enterprise bargaining on the waterfront, including an end to unofficial "caps" on crane movements in container terminals.
Patrick stevedores has been pushing for improved productivity under a new enterprise agreement with the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA), but has yet to reach a deal in negotiations that have been under way for about a year.
Industry insiders say an unofficial cap on crane movements – a key indicator of stevedoring productivity – has been in place at Patrick's Port Botany as part of the wash-up from the 1998 water dispute.
Patrick has said its Port Botany operation is about 12 per cent less productive than East Swanson Dock in Melbourne, a problem that is compounded by complaints of congestion in Sydney which have also involved waiting times on the land side.
Most Patrick container terminals use a system where the stevedores involved in loading and unloading ships have a 45-minute break when part-time workers are used to lash or unlash a ship.
Patrick has a system of continuous operations in Brisbane, where the workers involved in lashing also work as stevedores during the period, meaning there is no 45-minute break. The company, which is a division of
Ports Australia chief executive officer
"There are work practices that are in need of reform which wouldn't cost the union that much to implement."
Productivity improved on the Australian waterfront after the big 1998 dispute. The rate of improvement has flattened out over the past decade.
The MUA has blamed workplace fatalities on the waterfront in recent years on staffing ratios, training and excessive use of casual staff.
MUA deputy national secretary Mick Doleman argued yesterday that poor infrastructure led to a "natural slowdown" in any port, while other issues such as scheduling and maintenance could also play a role.
"At Port Botany, issues including the prospect of a third stevedore have meant a reluctance from the current players to invest in capital," Mr Doleman said.
"The membership at Patrick's Port Botany have had a long-standing commitment to safe work practices that in the past management were happy to gloss over with a few coins in productivity bonuses.
MUA members had agreed to work with the company on a productivity and safety committee.
The large global stevedore, Hutchison, plans to set up operations in Sydney and Brisbane next year, taking on the existing container duopoly of Patrick and DP World.
