Blackhawks, now 13-0-3, tied NHL record with 16 straight games without a regulation loss to open the season.
The veteran was injured during the third period of the Hawks' 4-3 shootout victory over the Canucks on Tuesday night at the United Center after taking a forearm to the back of his head from Jannik Hansen. Last season, Hossa suffered a severe, season-ending concussion following an illegal hit from the Coyotes' Raffi Torres during the first round of the playoffs.
After the hit from Hansen, Hossa was down on the ice for several moments before he was helped to the bench and then into the dressing room.
"That's ugly and very unfortunate," Hawks captain Jonathan Toews said. "You never want to see that. I don't know the situation yet but we hope that it's just a minor scare for now and he'll be back soon."
Hansen said he believes the hit was "a hockey play."
"We were both kind of jumping for (the puck)," Hansen added. "He grabs the puck first and as I'm coming down I kind of land on him a little bit. Apparently, I hit him in the back of the head is what the ref was telling me once I come down. It's hard for me to tell what really happened."
Hansen said he did not believe he deserves supplemental discipline from the league.
"It's out of my hands," Hansen said. The game is happening very fast out there. It's up to them to look at it now. I don't believe there is out of what I saw."
When the Hawks and Canucks played Feb. 1, Hansen slashed the Hawks' Dave Bolland in the ankle and the center missed one game. After that incident, the Hawks said they didn't have an issue with the play. They do on Tuesday night's hit and expect the league to look into it.
"It's pretty evident (Hansen) wasn't reaching for the puck or anything," Toews said. "I'm not too sure exactly what's going to happen there but I don't think there's any doubt there's contact to the head."
Added coach Joel Quenneville: "I think everybody saw it and can have their own opinion. We'll let the people who do that stuff do their job."
To no one's surprise, the Canucks sided with Hansen and don't believe there was any intent to harm.
"It wasn't even a penalty," Canucks coach Alain Vigneault said. "Both referees looked at the play and until Toews went out to talk to them it wasn't even a penalty."
When asked if he was concerned about supplemental discipline from the NHL, Vigneault said: "Not a chance."
Hansen said he was aware that Hossa was injured last season.
"Obviously we know he got hit last year," Hansen said. "Everybody in the hockey world knows that. It was a hockey play. When you go for a puck you go for a puck."

SEASIDE HEIGHTS, N.J. (AP) - Superstorm Sandy has landed one final stunning blow to New Jersey as the state adopted rebuilding guidelines that come with sticker shock.
They will force homeowners in flood zones to spend tens of thousands of dollars to raise their houses or pay exorbitant premiums of up to $31,000 a year for flood insurance.
Gov. Chris Christie said Thursday that he adopted flood maps issued late last year by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as New Jersey's standard for rebuilding from the worst storm in its history. It destroyed more than 30,000 homes, caused $37 billion in damage and is still keeping 41,000 people out of their damaged homes.
He says there are "very few places" where New Jerseyans won't be able to rebuild if the higher buildings standards are used.

Bacardi Launches Rock Coconut Infused Rum
Marketing jargon? Hardly. What sets Bacardi Rock Coconut apart is the combination of coconut juice with rock melon, a fruit indigenous to India and Africa. The combination of the two flavors, according to Bacardi, gives the new Rock Coconut rum a crisp, smooth taste.
Mix it with coke or pineapple juice for an especially zesty cocktail, or try Barcardi's iPhone app for other mixing suggestions.
The new addition joins the expanding range of Bacardi flavors including razz, peach red, grand melon, big apple, torched cherry, dragon berry and of course the existing coconut flavor. Suggested retail price comes in under $14 for a 750 ml bottle, also available in 50, 200 and 275 ml bottles as well as 1 and 1.75-liter sizes.

NBA PM: 'Bench Mob' Key for Chicago Bulls
The Chicago Bulls are on pace to finish with the best record in the NBA for the second straight season. In the last two years, the Bulls have managed to lead the league in wins even though they've had every starter sidelined by a significant injury at one point or another. Derrick Rose, Richard Hamilton, Luol Deng, Carlos Boozer and Joakim Noah have combined to miss 132 games over the last two seasons, but the Bulls continue to win thanks to a group of reserves that come up big every time their number is called.
C.J. Watson, Ronnie Brewer, Kyle Korver, Taj Gibson and Omer Asik have emerged as key contributors for the Bulls, whether they're coming off the bench or sliding into the starting lineup. They call themselves the Bench Mob and they've quickly become fan favorites in Chicago. Bench Mob shirts and signs have become commonplace at the United Center as fans have embraced the team's second unit.
The Bench Mob's origins can be traced back to last season after Watson, Brewer and Gibson had a particularly impressive outing in a Bulls' win. Boozer was asked about the outstanding bench play and he tried to think of a nickname for the team's reserves. He mentioned the "Second Wind" or "Second Starting Five," but Watson and Brewer weren't impressed.
"Me and C.J. have lockers right next to each other. They were asking Booz about our second unit and he called us the 'Second Wind' and the 'Second Starting Five.' I was like, 'That's not a cool name. We have to come up with something cooler than that,'" Brewer said with a laugh.
"One of my teammates in college, JuJuan Smith, came off the bench and came up with the 'Bench Mob' name at Tennessee," Watson said. "Me, Ronnie and Taj wanted to come up with a catchy name for our bench so we went with that. We picked it up and we've been calling ourselves that ever since."
The Bulls believe they have the best bench in the league, which allows them to stay on the court longer than most second units. The reserves have also been called upon late in games by head coach Tim Thibodeau, such as last week against the Miami Heat. Chicago's bench outscored Miami's reserves, 47-7, and the second unit outlasted the Heat's starters in overtime.
"We have so much talent on the second unit that we can sometimes outplay the opponent's starters," Brewer said. "Our team is a true team. When guys go out, we have guys who always step up. Other teams may have one or two key contributors who make a difference in a game. We always have three, four or five guys who are playing well and doing things to help the team win."
"If we're not the deepest team in the league, we're one of the deepest," Watson said. "We play ten-deep each and every night. If one person goes down, the next man steps up. We've been doing a great job of that all year. Everyone on the bench is ready and able to play big minutes. We all stay ready and work hard in the gym. Even when we're not playing a lot of minutes, we keep working on our game and staying prepared. Coach has a lot of confidence in us, which helps us be more confident on the court. He knows that we're going to play hard and always bring it on defense. Offensively, he knows that we take good shots and protect the ball. He has a lot of confidence in us."
Not only has the Bench Mob meshed together on the court, they've become close friends away from the game. The group is constantly hanging out and having fun together.
"We're close," Watson said. "We're always going out to eat and hanging out together. We just try to keep it cool and have a good friendship off the court. When you have friendships off the court, it makes everything easier when you're on the court together."
"Everybody on our team is close," Brewer said. "This team is different than any other team I've been on. I mean, we're super close. We're always going out to eat or going to the movies with each other. It's not to build chemistry or anything, it's just because we all like each other. That's not always the case, especially when you spend so much time with guys practicing, traveling, playing, lifting and going to all of the different events during a season. We're close and it translates on the court. When you can trust all of the guys who are on the court with you, it really helps."
Injuries have forced the Bulls to rotate different players in and out of the starting lineup this season. All but four of Chicago's players have started at least one game this year, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. While the injuries have kept the Bulls from playing at full strength, they have also helped Chicago's backups grow because they've been forced to take on larger roles.
"I think it has helped everyone's confidence," Watson said. "When guys have been out, we all tried to play well to keep our record great. Even when Derrick was out, we were able to step up. I think it gives us more confidence and then he has more confidence in us too. He knows we can win without him and, when he comes back, we can have a well-rounded team."
With the playoffs less than two weeks away, the Bulls are feeling confident in their balanced attack. After losing to Miami in last year's Eastern Conference Finals, Chicago is extremely motivated entering the postseason. Ask those in the locker room and they'll say that anything less than a championship will be a disappointment.
"We're confident, but more than anything we're very hungry and very determined," Brewer said. "Last year, we finished with such a great record but we felt like it was all for nothing because we didn't accomplish our goal in the postseason. This year, we feel like we're in the same situation. We know the only way to shut people up and get over the hump is to win a championship. We're taking it one game at a time, but we're looking forward to going out and competing against whoever is put in front of us."
Smith Expected to Test Free Agency: When the New York Knicks signed J.R. Smith in February, they knew they were getting a steal. The 26-year-old returned from his lockout stint in China and signed for the room exception worth $2.5 million. That's one-third of what Smith made last season with the Denver Nuggets, but the shooting guard didn't have many options given his midseason return to the NBA.
This offseason, Smith will have many more options. He's expected to opt-out of the final year of his contract and hopes to sign a multi-year deal this summer, according to sources close to the situation. The Minnesota Timberwolves, Los Angeles Clippers and Orlando Magic are among the teams expected to express interest in Smith if he becomes an unrestricted free agent.
Teams are always looking for players who are able to create their own shot and Smith can do exactly that. Since joining the Knicks, he has provided plenty of offense off of the bench, averaging 12 points per game. While Smith has a reputation for being somewhat high maintenance, he won't have any problem finding a potential suitor this offseason. There are plenty of executives who believe his on-court contributions are worth his sometimes questionable decisions off the court.
The Knicks will have a difficult time re-signing Smith this summer. Re-signing Jeremy Lin will likely be the team's top priority. Because Lin hasn't been in New York for two seasons, they don't hold his Early Bird Rights, which means the Knicks are not allowed to go over the cap to re-sign him. That means the Knicks will have to use their mid-level exception to keep Lin, who can sign for a maximum starting salary of $5 million due to the Gilbert Arenas Provision. Landry Fields, Steve Novak, Baron Davis and Jared Jeffries will also be free agents this offseason.
If Smith opts out, as expected, it likely closes the door on a future with the Knicks.

Only 25 % of household waste in Greenland is delivered to recycling stations, so the EEA hopes its new film will inspire residents, in particular youth and children in Greenland and across the Arctic region to change their behaviour. The film will also be supplemented with some educational material for schoolchildren.
The 12 minute film was introduced by EEA Executive Director Prof. Jacqueline McGlade, and Hon. Anthon Frederiksen, Minister of Domestic Affairs, Nature and Environment in Greenland.
Sound waste management in remote areas like the Arctic is always going to be costly. Large-scale modern waste management systems cannot just be copied wholesale from elsewhere in Europe or North America. Greenland, with its harsh natural environment and dispersed population requires unique solutions tailored to the country's context.
Because the huge distances and costs involved, much of the waste in Greenland has been (and in many cases continues to be) tipped into landfills just outside city or settlement limits. And without waste separation, household waste is often mixed with more hazardous waste types like batteries, leftover paint, nail polish or other chemicals.
These hazardous materials can affect the health of the local population when they enter the air through incineration or seep out of landfills which often lack protective layers to avoid leakage. Chemicals can seep down towards the coastal waters where Arctic people catch the fish, shrimp and sea mammals which make up a large part of their diet.
However, there are also some positive stories. For example, 99 % of all plastic and glass bottles used on the west coast of Greenland are returned to recycling plants, making country an inspiring example to the rest of the world.
The film considers this complex situation, proposing solutions which allow Greenlanders to manage waste without damaging their natural environment. Greenland is famous for its awe-inspiring natural landscapes, but this environment is extremely fragile, making the case for better waste management even more urgent.
The film is available in English, Danish and Greenlandic language versions.

Fig. 2: Municipal waste collected selectively in Poland, 2008 (Source: GUS)
In 2008, a total of 124 974 000 Mg of waste was generated in Poland, and 12 194 000 Mg of municipal waste was collected. A total of 320 kg of municipal waste was generated per person in 2008. The main method of municipal waste management in Poland is still landfill, which accounted for 8 693 200 Mg in 2008, although the percentage of waste going to landfill is gradually declining. 62 700 Mg of municipal waste was subject to thermal processing, and 292 400 Mg to biological processing. 682 000 Mg of municipal waste was collected separately.

Other waste (excluding municipal waste) generated in Poland in 2008, 20 289 700 Mg was deposited on landfills, 335 400 Mg was thermally treated, 225 900 Mg was composted, 86 124 800 Mg was recovered and 3 922 600 Mg was put into temporary storage.
In 2008, 42 211 319 batteries were recovered, and 2 696 780 were recycled. More than 2 million nickel-cadmium batteries (2 066 050) were recovered and 2 061 265 were recycled. 151 600 Mg of tyres were recovered and 42 400 Mg were recycled. 85 900 Mg of oil was recovered and 65 000 Mg was recycled.
Fig. 4: Packaging waste: levels of recovery and recycling in Poland, 2006-2008 (Source: MŚ)
In 2008, 2 216 000 Mg of packaging waste was recovered in Poland, of which 1 794 400 Mg was recycled. Over the last three years there has been an increase in the recovery and recycling of packaging waste in Poland. In 2008, 56 426 Mg of waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) was collected, of which 49 790 Mg was processed. Of the processed WEEE, 22 138 Mg was recycled and 629 Mg was recovered.]]>Luxembourg has few levers available for influencing the design or composition of products. It can, however, act on consumer habits and on household and business participation in selective sorting and in waste prevention and ecological management programmes. Its policy is to introduce separate collection and appropriate management systems, together with information targeted at households and consumers, as well as advisory services and training, and assistance to businesses.
For 20 years now, separate collection of municipal waste has been based on both mobile and fixed collection, a network of 24 recycling centres and a programme of regular public information. Separate collection applies to all recoverable items as well as to 'problematic' and hazardous waste via the 'SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Biirger' initiative (see one of our national and regional stories). The volumes collected by voluntary delivery to recycling centres have more than doubled since 1999 (905 000 deliveries in 2008).
To prevent the generation of consumer waste, the emphasis is on informing the public about the products that generate waste, components that are hazardous to the environment and health, and available substitutes. These efforts rely on joint public- and private-sector initiatives and on economic instruments.
Luxembourg has therefore for many years been pursuing an active policy of waste management based on prevention and recovery with a view to minimising environmental impact and supplying high-quality secondary raw materials. It gives priority to recovering materials for reintroduction into the economic circuit.
The legislative and regulatory framework is based on the amended Waste Prevention and Management Act of 2000, the 2010 Waste Management Plan('Plan Général de Gestion des Déchets', PGGD), which calls for full-cost pricing at every stage of waste management and sets the following goals: (i) preventing and reducing waste production and pollution from waste; (ii) recovery through reuse, recycling or any other environmentally appropriate method; and (iii) disposal of final waste in environmentally and economically appropriate ways.
With regard to industrial, commercial and service waste, the main instruments for achieving waste prevention targets and reintroducing materials into the economic circuit are the PPGDs and the advice provided to businesses by the 'SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Betriber' programme, an initiative presented in one of our national and regional stories.
Other laws and Grand Ducal regulations concerning specific waste flows supplement the PGGD Act and transpose European legislation into national law (movements of hazardous waste, packaging waste, waste oils, PCBs, waste incineration, sewage sludge, WEEE, batteries, etc.). European legislation plays an increasing role in determining policies and establishing objectives. Luxembourg must also comply with other international commitments relating to cross-border waste movements and to the ecological management of waste and resource productivity.

]]>The population of Luxembourg is likely to continue to rise. Estimates are that it could reach 560 000 to 605 000 inhabitants by 2024. The number of cross-border commuters is also expected to grow again after the stabilisation observed during the financial and economic crisis that hit the country at the end of the first decade of this century. Consequently, waste generation might increase and should be controlled as much as possible, notably through an overall waste management plan – see the 'National Responses' chapter – designing the axes of the future waste policy in Luxembourg.
]]>As indicated in the 'Why care?' section, the main driver and pressure for waste streams and composition is the economic development of the country that gradually shifted from a rural economy to an industrial one (with the steel industry) and, finally, to a service and financial centre. The latter development was accompanied by a remarkable population growth and by an ever increasing number of cross-border commuters – see country profile.
]]>Under the impact of separate collection and recovery measures, there has been a continuous relative decoupling between municipal waste, residual waste for disposal and GDP these last 10 to 15 years. The volume of waste that must be dealt with has been growing less quickly than GDP, although at a rate very close to growth in private consumption, while both population and cross-border employment have been rising [Figure 1]. Waste generation per capita (at 700 kg) is among the highest in western Europe. This, however, includes waste generated by cross-border commuters and by (small) services businesses whose numbers have increased considerably since 1990.
Collection and recovery rates of municipal waste are among the best in Europe. With separate collection, some 46 % of total municipal waste can now be recycled. Recovery volumes are rising, reflecting the growing network of recycling centres and active public awareness about trash sorting. Municipal waste collection for recycling amounts to about 275 kg per capita every year, making Luxembourg's performance among the best in western Europe. Nevertheless, from a detailed analysis of the waste composition carried out in 2004-2005, it appears that the residual fraction going to incineration or treatment still contains a fair share of litter that could be recovered [Figure 2, Figure 3, Figure 4].
For some specific waste streams, available data show that about 16 kg per inhabitant per year of waste from electric and electronic equipments (WEEE) is collected [Figure 5]. Up to 50 %of old batteries and old accumulators are collected. More than 90 % of packaging waste is recycled, recovered or reused. Bio-organic waste from kitchens is also recovered but, with a collection-rate of 45 %, it remains insufficient.
Per inhabitant, there has been a decrease in municipal waste being incinerated or stored in landfill sites during the last decade [Figure 2]. Around 70 % of this waste is incinerated with energy recovery, while the remainder goes to landfills. The objective of reducing landfill-destined biodegradable waste to 35 % of the 1995 level by 2016 has already been achieved.

Note: PMC stands for 'plastiques, métaux, cartons'. Since 1998 a separate collection - in a blue bag - is organised to collect plastic bottles, metallic packaging (such as tinned food) and TetraPak: see Valorlux.
Industrial, commercial and service waste was estimated at 389 000 tonnes in 2007, of which 296 000 tonnes and 93 000 tonnes of waste, respectively, are generally exported to Germany, France, Belgium and the Netherlands for treatment. Indeed, Luxembourg does not have the whole range of recycling or recovery installations on its small territory. The same holds for separately collected municipal and specific waste streams collected through recycling centres or schemes, which are, therefore, mostly sent abroad for valorisation or other treatments.
Final industrial waste declined during the period under review, reflecting the combined impact of the closure of a mill and of the implementation of 'Waste Prevention and Management Plans' (Plan de Prévention et de Gestion des Déchets', PPGDs) by businesses which have diverted many types of waste from disposal to recovery. In fact, companies are to appoint a 'waste management officer' and prepare a PPGD that requires firms to evaluate their prevention and recycling potential and to institute ecological management of their waste. More than 3 000 firms have established such a plan since 1995.
There are about 13 000 tonnes of sewage sludge generated each year, most of which is used in agriculture (50 to 55 %) as fertiliser (sludge spreading) or composted (around 40 %). There are also 10.5 million tonnes of inert waste, consisting primarily of construction materials (76 % excavated earth), demolition waste and road maintenance waste that have to go to dedicated disposal sites where they are recovered, notably via grinding operations, or landfilled when recovery is not possible. The volume of inert waste generated, which is closely linked to construction activity, has risen in recent years.
Municipal waste treatment, as well as separate collection and recycling centres, is under the responsibility of 116 municipalities, regrouped in the three main inter-communal syndicates operating two controlled landfills and one incineration plant, respectively, with energy recovery.
Regarding industrial, commercial and service waste, thanks to the PPGDs, remaining quantities to be eliminated are such that domestic facilities are less justified than in the past. Non-household waste for disposal is exported to specialised facilities in neighbouring countries, primarily in Germany. Due to the size of the country and its economy, total quantities exported may vary sharply from one year to the next.
]]>With the strong population growth and the even stronger cross-border growth in commuter numbers – see country introduction – waste generation and, therefore, waste management is a crucial environmental issue in Luxembourg. Nowadays, Luxembourg has one of the highest rates of municipal waste generation per capita within the EU.
Recycling of waste, and more precisely the use of organic waste as an energy source through co-fermentation, is a key element in Luxembourg's energy policy aiming at coping with the EU objective assigned to Luxembourg in the 'Climate & Energy Package' adopted by the European Union in 2008, i.e. to reach 11 % share of renewable energy in total energy consumption by 2020. Indeed, as stressed in the country profile of Luxembourg, renewable energy potentials are limited in Luxembourg and would only replace imported energy rather than replacing any electricity production from inefficient existing fossil fuel plants.
]]>SDK is a programme for managing problematic waste from households and for implementing waste management in the business sector. It is sponsored by the Environment Administration in cooperation with the municipalities – household component – and Luxembourg Chamber of Crafts (Chambre des Métiers) – business component. The programme is based on the principles of prevention, reduction and recovery of waste and promotes a new commercial model based on the 'consumption-reconsumption' philosophy:
The SDK programme is ISO 14001 certified and has had a legal basis since 2005.
The household component ('SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Biirger') has been dealing with household waste since 1985 [Figure 1]. It includes:

The business component ('SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Betriber'), in place since 1992, deals with non-household waste generated by businesses and by public and private establishments. Participation is voluntary and is done by contract [Figure 2]. It includes:
A quality label is awarded to those companies that manage their waste in an environmentally responsible manner consistent with the SDK concept. Since 2009, this quality label has been certified according to ISO 14024. Compliance with management criteria is audited once a year. Firms that have had the label for five consecutive years are audited only every two years. The list of certified firms is published on the internet. Today, businesses advised by the SDK employ more than half of Luxembourg's workforce and recycle 70 % of all the waste they produce.

The cost of the 'SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Biirger' is fully covered by the government through the Environment Protection Fund. The cost of the 'SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Betriber' is shared: assistance, advisory and training services are financed by the government, while waste collection and treatment is covered by the firms.
Since 2007, the SDK concept has been exported in the form of franchise contracts that are available to public authorities and to public and private establishments in other countries seeking to institute a waste management system along the lines of the Luxembourg model. For instance, the 'SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Betriber' concept has been implemented in the Basle region in Switzerland and the 'SuperDrecksKëscht® fir Biirger' concept in the city of Stockholm in Sweden. Ongoing projects to put into service a SDK scheme exist for Hungary and for Ras-Al-Kaihma (the latter mainly for packaging waste and batteries). Other countries have recently been seeking information on the SDK: Cyprus, Greece, Lithuania and Ukraine.
In 2010, the SDK programme has been awarded 'best practice' by the European Commission. A particularly important element of the success of the SDK is the continuous communication with all actors of the economy using modern communication means:
All commercial chains and many other businesses participate in this action that has been awarded 'best practice' by the European Commission in June 2009.

]]>The amounts of waste generated reflect the relative sizes of the different industrial sectors within the Walloon economy, and are strongly linked to production volumes. A proportion of this waste is, moreover, considered to be unavoidable waste, that is waste which is inevitably generated by current industrial processes. Changes in manufacturing processes and improvements of resources productivity, owing to the use of integrated technologies, are, however, enabling progress to be made in decoupling economic growth from the generation of waste.

I got N8 and i hearing a sound like "Tik" during calls, and i tried to test it from earpiece directly anf from speaker and also from wire headset and all are same!
i changed the carrier to another carrier and it's the same.
i replaced the phone from the store with new one and i got the same in the 2nd one, today i refund my money but actually i asked for technical report and it's not clear!
please someone tell me what's wronge with N8, i waited this phone from more than 6 months and i like it but don't like this sound at all and i notice the signal of this phone is not good on 3G network from home ,work or even on street!
Is Nokia working on solve this issue or what, whould i wait to fix this hardware issue? or i waiting for another mobile like HTC HD7 or the next N9?
I don't like N9 as it'll have a keyboard and i don't like this.
2011-01-27 0:02
2011-01-27 3:38
my n8 have the same problem sometimes, don't know what cause it.
2011-01-27 8:02
Mine does too sometimes, but I guess is a network related issue no t"well handled" by the phone. I have read here and elsewere as well of other people experiencing this with N8...Not so annoying to me though....Not so annoying to me though....
2011-01-27 12:09
Thanks but it's for sure not a recording program.
2011-01-27 12:13
I changed the SIM with anotehr operator and it's the same "TIK". it's not an operator issue as i used a lot of other phones and this issue not exist even i have Nokia 5800 and no issues plus Samsung mobile on the same time and no TIK issue.
Why Nokia don't solve this issue? is it a hardware issue or software?
I guess it's a hardware issue but what's it exactly and why it's exist till now?
Any Nokia representative let us know what's this issue and when it will be solved?
the TIK sound make me angry someytimes as sometimes the sound is high and sometimes medium.
2011-01-27 13:12
If it were a faulty unit, the probability to come across another unit with the same bug would have been close to 0 but you got both with the tik issue, instead.
If it were a project-firmware related issue, all other N8 owners would have reported here.
Does it happen everywhere and always, or it's a random one?
2011-01-27 16:36
2011-01-27 16:45
Dear Puasho,
I updated the software with APP 1 and phone update as i can remomber, so i had the leatest updates.
I'm not sure if it's software or hardware issue but it seems a hardware issue on antenna or something like this, Nokia care at their report wasn't clear on both mobiles, they just write, "The mobile should be replaced" but i refund on the second mobile and decided to wait and see if the issue will solved or not but acually i don't find anyone in my country said he found this issue, and it's a strange to get the same issue on the replacement as well!.
Yea this sound happended at my home, work and on street and it's random.
You may find it in the first 5 minutes of call, sometimes ater 20 min, sometimes it's distributed during the 1 hour call!
That sound was drive me crazy sometimes.
I hope someone from Nokia told us what's wrong and when this will be solved!?
2011-02-03 18:53
2011-03-04 19:04
Hope someone told us a solution?
Why Nokia team ignore this case!?
Is this an issue at antenna as i can see that signal is drop when catch the phone!
2011-03-15 9:28
The same problem here
I didn't sense that problem when I bought the N8 with first firmware but after updating to 013.016 I noticed that I hear some "click" noise like sound during the conversations
I guessed it might be for some application like MCleaner but it seems you all have the same problem
Somebody care please !
2011-03-16 15:35
2011-03-18 18:44
Nokia Keep silence, Really BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2011-03-18 18:54
Lots of nokias I've had have the annoyng tick noise. It seems to be worse on the 1800mhz carriers like orange and tmobile in the UK. Tmobile was appalling, sound levels would wow and
flutter too. I've not noticed the ticking on o2 on any phone (including ones that ticked on orange) so I think it is partly carrier related and what the carrier does to cause it isn't dealt with well by nokias. The LG I had on tmobile was perfectly ok call quality wise. No ticking, no wowing and no fluttering so it is something nokia do or don't do I think.
2011-03-18 18:57
Do u think it's antenna related or it's software related?
It seems an Antenna as Nokia didn't fix this issue on updates or on PR 1.1.
2011-06-19 5:54
Same problem here. What is your current situation of the problem? Any solution yet?
2011-06-19 6:13
For all of you with this problem will you please post here Operator you use (Frequency) and the Country of manufacture (Phone bottom plastic part it should be written Made in ....)
This is a official Nokia forum, hope Nokia People see and read this, if so please comment or give us some information.
2011-06-19 6:53
2011-06-19 7:10
Thank you for your suggestion, I have alreday done that several times, and according to them, it is rare case and they never heard of. On the nokia care report they write speaker problem once and the second time they say to change the handset. When I asked them they have no correct explanation of the problem and the cause of it.
At first I thought "I" might be the problem, and its in my head, but when I found out all these people having the same problem, I realize I am not alone.

Actress EVA MENDES was so desperate to wear glasses as a child, she stared at the sun in an effort to damage her eyesight.
The Hitch actress, who was unveiled as the face of Vogue eyewear earlier this month (Mar13), started needing prescription spectacles two years ago, and admits she's harbored a life-long desire to wear glasses in a bid to look smart.
She tells the Associated Press, "I started to need reading glasses two years ago but the funny thing is I used to want glasses so badly when I was little that I actually used to stare at the sun to damage my sight...
"I was obsessed with looking smart. I also went through a stage in junior high where I would wear non-prescription reading glasses and then I got caught out one day so I stopped that because I felt like a phoney. So as of two years ago I just started needing them. I love them. Wearing glasses adds and instant quirk and elegance."

Partners in Caerphilly County Borough are pleased to present their third Health, Social Care and Well-being Strategy which will cover the period from 1 April 2011 to 31 March 2014.
Improving the health and well-being of a population is not, and cannot be, the sole responsibility of one or two organisations, and therefore the development of this Health, Social Care & Well-being Strategy reflects a multi-agency approach to further improving the health and well-being of the population of Caerphilly county borough.
The Strategy comes at an exciting time for the locality and endeavours to build upon the successes of the previous two strategies, to ensure health, social care and well-being issues are planned, delivered and resourced in a co-ordinated way, and expertise integrated across public sector boundaries. It has also been developed at a time when there are significant challenges facing us all, and never has it been more important to find suitable, affordable and sustainable solutions to meet the needs of the population of our borough.
The Strategy has been prepared in order to ensure that the Local Authority and the Local Health Board meet their statutory duty under Section 40 of the National Health Service (Wales) Act 2006.
Health, Social Care and Well-being Strategy (PDF 8.1mb)
The intention of this Strategy is to act as the Framework from which all other Health, Social Care and Well-being plans and policies will stem.
The vision for Caerphilly County Borough is that:
"Caerphilly County Borough is a place where people live longerand healthier lives."
In order to achieve the vision set, 7 long term Outcomes have been agreed, these are:
The outcomes we have set are challenging and may not be fully achieved by 2014, however, this Strategy will continue the journey that we have been on since 2005 and through effective partnership working will strive to bring about positive changes for residents of this borough.

ARARAT - Ten gymnasts from the Ararat and District Gymnastics Club with compete in the State Pennant finals this weekend.
Ararat's national development program level one prep and level two prep gymnasts have been very busy representing the club over the past two months.
Gymnasts have been competing at competitions in Stawell, Bendigo and Melbourne with excellent results being produced.
The level one squad has been training two and a half hours a week, while the level two squad has been putting in three and a half hours a week.
Both teams have been working towards qualifying for this weekend's State Pennant Finals.
The two teams achieved the feat earlier this month at the State Pennant Qualifiers held at MLC in Kew.
The top three teams from each level and zone will qualify for finals and within some levels there are 10-plus teams, so to qualify is a huge success.
Each team is made up of five gymnasts each. Within each team, gymnasts complete four routines - One each on vault, bars, beam and floor.
The level one team is coached by Gab Cocking and includes Larni Coburn, Charlotte Millear, Annabelle Price, Sophia Van Opstal and Sabaya Woods.
Briana Hopper-Britton coaches the level two girls, Clare Burmester, Ivana Donnan, Emily Manning, Ella McLoughlin and Carly Sporton.

Hearts caretaker boss Locke said on Thursday that he believes the Tynecastle men are still the dominant force in the capital - despite failing to win any of the three meetings with their city rivals this term.
But, with the teams due to meet at Easter Road in Sunday's Clydesdale Bank Premier League clash, Fenlon said even Locke cannot deny just how well his Europa League hopefuls are playing.
He said: "I don't think anyone can doubt how far we have come. Over the course of this season we have shown that we are playing well and with confidence.
"When we came into the club, the object was to try to improve the team. Part of that was improving our record in derby games, which we have done slightly.
"We know there is still a lot of work to be done but we are making progress, which is important. We've got to continue to do that."
Both SPL Edinburgh derbies so far this season have ended in stalemates, but Hibernian did come out on top in their William Hill Scottish Cup fourth-round tie as a deflected David Wotherspoon strike brought Hearts' 12-game unbeaten streak against their Leith foes to an end.
Fenlon, however, fears that result - and his game plan - may end up counting for nothing once the frantic action gets under way.
He said: "With derby games, form goes out the window. We've done a lot of work preparing for how Hearts play but I know for a lot of players, once they cross that white line, a lot of that will go by the wayside. Once the first tackle goes in or something happens, the crowd will just carry people along.
"But over the last few weeks, our form has been pretty decent. We have passed the ball well and created chances and now we've got to make sure we don't get caught up on it all."

The world's first power facility to capture and store a portion of its carbon dioxide has begun operating in Appalachia
November 6, 2009 | 38
Someone want to tell me just how much ammonia is being sprayed around in these stacks, and how much will need to be stored on site as the plants scale up? It sounds like a massive hazmat MCI if any of that ammonia containment ruptures.
Am I missing something here? How can we call clean coal - "clean" when it costs 15 - 30% more energy (hence we have to burn that much more coal) to only capture 1.5% of the carbon released into the atmosphere? Or am I wholly misguided in what I read from this article? Otherwise, this seems like an excercize in politics, and nothing to do with environmental concerns; as the only one to benefit here, are the coal mines.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisReply | Report Abuse | Link to this
What you're missing (and to be fair, it was not clearly stated in the article) is that the carbon capture unit, as it is a tech demo, is only operating on a very small portion of the plant's total flue gas outflow.
So, while it's only removing 1.5% of the *total* CO2, if you look at the fraction that it's removing *from the gas it's actually treating*, you'll find that it's removing *90%* of the total CO2. And that's pretty cool. :)
Great, 1.5%. Good job guys. While this is a demonstration, couldn't they have captured some meaningful amount of CO2?
This is basically a cheap political ploy by the coal industry to greenwash their industry a bit. Too bad, because we need meaningful action today, not silly little stunts like this.
I might simply be uninformed on this, but has anybody looked into the effect on deep soil biotic processes that pumping this much CO2 into the ground has?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThey are burying it beneath several kilometers of rock. I doubt that this will have any effect on even the deepest soil.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWhy don;t they go further and seperate the oxygen from the carbon by using any form of fast growing plant. Afterwards they can either make biochar or just dry and store the more concentrated carbon in the plant material. The oxygen would be released and not need to be stored underground. Would this be to inexpensive or not profitable enough?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to this'The mountain of coal' was by far the most powerful image in that slideshow.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIf I understand this correctly (the wording in the article was imprecise), it will cost $700 million dollars to scale this pilot project up to capture 20% of the total CO2 released by the plant. Would this be the definition of "clean coal"?
If it is, than I think we should do some cost comparisons with other low carbon alternatives to energy generation. Such as solar thermal or solar power plants that don't produce CO2 at all....
AV Solar Ranch One was recently given approval to construct a 230 megawatt plant near L.A and deliver power to PG&E for 13.3 cents/kWh.
The Mountaineer plant can produce 1300 megwatts of "clean coal" power for about 9 cents/kWh. But this is power that removes only 20% of the CO2 (which apparently adds about 4 cents/kWh to the 5 cents/kWh normal operating cost). Therefore, my back of the envelope calculation suggests that zero CO2 coal power will cost approximately 25 cents/kWh. This does not include the externalized costs of toxic ash and mercury pollution.
Not having all the figures and costs, I admit that this is an imperfect apples-to-apples comparison. But truly cleaning up coal power will probably be about 2x more expensive than solar power. If our goal really is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, than its obvious (at least to me) that pollution free methods like solar power are easy and cheap alternatives to carbon sequestration.
Implicit in a macro interpretation of the Second Law of Thermo is the physical necessity that all nonsolar energy techno fixes generate more disorder than order.
This includes CO2 capture.
This means we either go solar or decline.
I call this thermodynamic imperative the 'Thermodynamic Razor' since it cuts through most of what is uninformed energy-contention today--such as CO2 dumping.
We have no choice, except to go solar. So, shouldn't our energy be focused on the political problem of going solar instead of the technically sweet?
The First Law is yeoman,
Net Energy; EROI.
The Second is atman,
Go solar or die.
"And now roughly 1.5 percent of the CO2 billowing from its stack is being captured in an industrial unit rising from the concrete in its shadow and then pumped underground for storage. In case you were wondering, this last phase is called "clean coal"."
Are you joking? 1.5 %!? This is clean? My god, its time to move away from fossil fuels, NOW. We have the technology for solar and wind NOW. It doesn't need further development. California is doing it. The state emits 50% less carbon per capita than any other state. SCIAM, tell your coal and oil company advertisers to go away.
The writer does not understand the difference between power and energy. The plant generates 1,300 megawatts of power. As long as it does so it will power 1 million homes forever, not just a month.
But, more important, this coal likely comes from the lopping off of the mountain tops of West Virginia and dumping the residue into local streams.
Baeocystin, you lie. it is NOT removing 90% of total CO2. AND, its not cool at all. its warm... as in global warming.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisand, Baeocystin, you fail to mention the disastrous environmental damage that is being done to the land to get at the coal deposits. coal is NOT the answer. the Chinese have already figured it out and are moving far ahead of us in green technology.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisThe notion of "powering" a home seems antiquated. Foods can be stored and prepared without refrigeration or cooking. Living beings can cleanse themselves and their attire without drying up wells and contaminating others through efficient water, land use and biochemistry. Electricity is simply a carrier of energy between alternating resources of demand and supply. Carbon capture through reforestation and photosynthesis is lost to forest fires and decomposition when it should be burned for transport, comfort and enhanced hygiene. Corrosion and excess friction create demands exceeding sustainability in needless rapid transit when data can do it for free. A two and half hour B737 aircraft flight does 1/2 mile to the gallon. How much electricity is wasted processing antivirus program code to keep us updated?
Look for your electric bills to triple or worse if this boondogle becomes law.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisDoes anyone have any meaningful proof that CO2 does produce Climate Change? Last I checked none of the models that predicted catastrophe have been any where near accurate. Why are we waisting our money on unproven and dis proven science to begin with?

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWorldwide carbon capture and storage will take decades to implement, and so arrive too late to affect climate change.
The solution is to act now to remove CO2 from the air using biomass pyrolysis, worldwide, but on a local scale. Read how to do this at www.eprida.com by clicking on the technical pages. There is a tremendous opportunity for small and large-scale investment.
Absolutely disgusting technology !! Do these companies think the American people are stupid? It is a NEW day! We are demanding that things be done differently.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIt would appear that coal,"because of our huge surpluses", if used cleanly is the way to go.Retrofiting current plants to run cleanly,would reduce our dependence on oil,a long as more of our cars become hybrid electric with pullout type batterys that plug in to home systems.This combinded with backyard and rooftop solar and wind, generators, would be a huge plus to our economy,because it would put more money back in the hands of every day people with less money going overseas ,as for funding it would be a good investment for ultilites getting their money back from electricity being produced at each home that is taking part,and using the grid that is already in place.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisIt sounds like a large amount of energy is needed to cool down the emissions, pressurize it, and pump it underground. How do the costs of doing all this stack up to the environmental savings of reducing carbon emmissions? Is it worth it?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisCarbon capture technology makes more sense to me if it is applied to conversion of coal to transportable fuels like dimethyl ether, methanol, or synthetic gasoline. In these processes, CO2 is easier to separate and the extra cost can be recovered through the offsetting higher values of the products and reduction of dependency on oil imports. Also, greater economies-of-scale are possible when these plants are built close to coal mining regions. PRB seems like one such perfect opportunity.
It is my opinion that carbon is nature's most perfect means to make hydrogen fuel transportable. It seems a waste of precious carbon to merely burn it in a stationary plant as an energy source.
+9-+-This the first case in the world of stack gas from a coal-fired power plant being stored in other than in exhausted petroleum sites. From this operation we can learn how much CCS adds to the cost of electricity when added to an existing power plant,
I would love for all the renewable energies to be up and running now, but they are not. This may not be a perfect system, but it is a step into a transition that must take place. Coal is used so widely to generate power that if we can reduce 1% of the carbon emissions, it will add up to a huge amount. Then, we will have the energy needed to make all the renewable energies a reality.
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisWithin a generation, politically astute heirs of American affluence are expected to express fashionable wealth shame; haunted by Honor� de Balzac's untrue observation Behind every great fortune there is a crime. Tabloid culture documents our schizophrenic admiration for celebrity success followed by our joy of celebrity destruction. Generations of Buffet and Gates progeny like affable Rockefellers and Vanderbilts will fashionably dismiss achievements of their forbears for public approval.
It's part of American DNA to surrender to the shame of success. It is the reason American voters sat back as 20 years of investor driven global trade agreements surrendered industry, including American jobs to unprivileged foreign economies. By enforcing punishing environmental standards on American industry and our middle class, our lobbying investor class simply got to move smoke stacks from our back yard to theirs. Even those who sailed to and settled America knew that our planet's atmosphere has a way of moving around. If global warming issues have scientific merit, that same science must asknowledge that global environment is about fluid entropy that assures that what's floating in the air and water anywhere ends up everywhere. This isn't and never was about the environment.
It is dishonest and irresponsible not to "follow the money" when global warming politics wraps its para-religious tentacles around the science of global warming. While we fine Americans for not replacing their car's made elsewherecatalytic converters and not scrubbing smoke stacks with ammonia, foreign manufacturers and workers run their industry and heat their homes with high sulfur coal.
So many mystifying problems are about our American middle class who didn't connect the dots as post WWII capital moved from here to elsewhere.
How long is it going to take before all the World's power plants are retro-fitted to scrub their flue gases, with gazoducts constructed to carry the gases to far-distant underground reservoirs to get rid of them? 10 years? 40 years? Is this short enough to avoid a climatic tipping-point? Is it long enough to enable alternative energy technology to evolve? It is probably about the same time for nuclear fuels to run out! One thing is certain : Investors are in for a roller-coaster ride...
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisStoring CO2 underground is based on the illusion that CO2 is a bad greenhouse gas. CO2 already absorbs as much infrared as is possible. Adding more CO2 to the atmosphere cannot cause more infrared to be absorbed. Wikipedia article "Greenhouse Gas" shows the saturation of the greenhouse effect. For example, more infrared at 10.6 microns cannot occur if CO2 concentration increases.

Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI do not understand why not fix the carbon in place in the bio-system?

Cant this help instead of being stored in a manner that could be a problem if it were released catastrophically? Its cheap to pump it and any other solution would cost more? What if 100 years collection of CO2 were released from a coal plant in one go? Hmmm?
Reply | Report Abuse | Link to thisI have read about another carbon capture pilot program in Germany (google "schwarze pumpe Vattenfall")They are pumping pure Co2 underground. Though also not without opposition. They had to abandon their first choice of storage because of environmentalists opposition, go figure.
If you really want affordable and clean electricity go nuclear, wind and sun will never drive a modern industrial society.

it will be a pretty miserable future relying on sun and wind only, only the smartest will survive, and you are obviously not one of them.
So the coal industry took $350M to develop the technology (which has to grow), but bulks at the subsidies to solar technologies when the solar subsidies are reported to be 1/6 of the subsidies to oil and gas.
Then these coal purveyors want you to go to EV's where they will produce the power for your electric car from their coal plants, so you will think they support green initiatives.
This seems like marketing and ploys and manipulation to me. So I for one would not trust the plant's reports without 3rd party, independent corroborations.

War Criminal Watch Calendar
Rather than court trials, the architects of the Afghanistan and Iraq occupations and countless illegal acts of torture are out on national speaking tours--and we're keeping track of where they're going so we can hold them accountable for their war crimes! For a detailed list of the crimes of some of these people, see this page. We are pressuring the current government to prosecute not only the war criminals including: Karl Rove, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, George Bush, Jay Bybee, John Yoo, Paul Wolfowitz, Paul Bremer, Alberto Gonzalez, Ehud Olmert, and more! Keep note of when the Obamas are in town as well--we need to keep encouraging them to promote peace and healthcare, not warfare!
For tips on how to perform a successful action and for inspiration from fellow PINKs, see this page. Is there a War criminal coming to your town that you don't see on this list? Planning an action? Need support? Email us.
