Zac Efron rose to fame off the back of playing teen heartthrob Troy Bolton in Disney's "High School Musical" franchise, but it wasn't until recently that he developed an intense appreciation of both acting and film.
The 20-year-old star said he grew to care more about his craft while staring in "17 Again," alongside former "Friends" actor Matthew Perry.
"It was hard to play someone that I couldn't relate to in the slightest," Efron told Teen Vogue about playing the teenage version of Mike O'Donnell, a man who gets to go back to his younger years to change his life.
Efron said he grew to appreciate what he does for a living thanks to the film's director Burr Steers.
"The director taught me a lot about the art of acting, which I hadn't been schooled in before," Efron told the mag. "I've got a better understanding of what it means to be an actor now."
While filming another new project, — "Me and Orson Welles," which finds the blue-eyed boy playing a character called Richard Samuels, a teen who ends up being directed by a young Welles – Efron said he developed a real love for the cinema.
"I would never have, until now, called myself a movie buff," he said. "But I've found so many films that I never knew existed."
While his new projects may expose the poster boy to a wider audience, his successes will continue to fuel the paparazzi, who follow him on a regular basis. Efron said sometimes, though, he wishes he could be anonymous.
"You don't realize until it's gone," he noted of the ability to just blend in. "But it is so important to feel normal."
Still, Efron said there is no need to feel sorry for the star.
"I'm not going to complain," he said. "But it's something I'm learning to cope with."

Very pleasant stay
We went to Brighton for the weekend (on a bit of a budget) and Colson House looked like a good option on paper.
It proved to be a great one, the room was large and well looked after with a good shower, and we were very well looked after by the owner - I can only recommend.

We had a great stay, Eamon was a great host.
Great stay in Brighton
We have been coming to Brighton for the last 10 years and on the last few occasions have stayed in Number 14 Upper Rock Gardens which is next door but one to Colson House - unfortunately they were fully booked so were unable to stay.
I have only marked low on customer service due to the fact that our greeting upon arrival was not what we had expected to say the least. We had arrived just after mid-day and didn't expect to get into our room but thought we would leave our baggage and then wander off. We could not get anyone's attention at the door so telephoned the number of the hotel. To cut a long story short we were eventually greeted by Eamon who seemed slightly uptight that we had arrived so early without giving him notice of doing so. Having been in the hotel business I do appreciate what it is like waiting around all day for guests but one has to hide one's true feelings. So it was not a very good start and have to admit that my wife and I (who were celebrating our anniversary) we quite taken aback. Whilst the breakfast was perfectly acceptable there was no choice of yoghurts or fruit and feel the portions could have been bigger (although I declined the full English on two of the days). Having said all of the above I think Eamon eventually warmed to us a little and would not want the above comments putting anyone off staying there as the room was large, clean and comfortable and all in all thoroughly enjoyed our stay and felt it good value for money. Is it as good as Number 14 - well to be honest no it isn't but we would definitely stay there again if Eamon will have us after the above comments!!

I am really on the fence on this one. On one hand, I really want you to be able to use this lovely name that you both love. On the other hand, I remember just how pervy junior high boys can be. Will it come up, you can pretty much count on it. Maya has a very exotic feel to me. How about:
Love suggestion of Lydia.

I definitely would move Maya to the middle spot. She's likely going to be teased for Cox anyway, so better to not add to it imo.

Thanks to all for your honest feedback. You've basically confirmed what I've been thinking anyway - that Maya (yes, pronounced my-ah) is just too similar to "my" and wouldn't be doing any favors for my daughter. This baby-naming stuff is hard!!

Different doesn't mean inferior.
Mirus Secondary School at 330 S. California St. in West Covina exemplifies this with their thorough curriculum, one-on-one instruction and personalized lesson plans.
The alternative school is holding its first open house Nov. 12, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to show the public just what they offer. The college-like atmosphere of the campus allows students to really focus in a clean and safe place, according to Alex Carrillo, a teacher at the school.
"It's a very unique, positive experience," Carrillo said. "In a different environment, students act different and are able to learn more."
Mirus program is part of the Atlus Network of Charter Schools, and accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The campus on California Street is the first Mirus school in Los Angeles County. Students enrolled at the school typically study two subjects at a time and move as fast or as slow as they need.
Dan Kondrath, teacher at the school that serves grades seven through 12, said the small student-teacher ratio enables students to grasp mathematical or scientific concepts that might fly past them at traditional high schools.
"We get to know our students well and work with them one on one," Kondrath said. "We really learn their strengths so we can help them succeed."
Additional tuition-free Mirus campuses have cropped up in Palm Desert, Apple Valley, Chino Hills and Hesperia. Unlike traditional schools, students wanting to attend the alternative don't have to live within the school district, only within Los Angeles County.
Parent Nancy Tsubokawa said the West Covina secondary school has been a great alternative for her daughter Aerin Tsubokawa, an eighth grader who enrolled in the school this past February. Tsubokawa appreciates that the school is no cost and said she has good communication with teachers who work with Aerin.
"Junior high school is kind of an awkward time for a lot of students," Tsubokawa said. "Aerin was having a hard time transitioning, so we're really grateful that we found this opportunity available to her."
Tsubokawa said Aerin enjoys the ability to move at her own pace academically, instead of waiting for the rest of the class, as is the case in traditional schools.
Another parent, Angelic Young, is glad her daughter Bailey McCartin was able to improve her grades while at Mirus. McCartin, now a senior, enrolled in Mirus at end of her junior year.
"She wasn't behind, but her GPA had fallen a little," Young said. "She gets the attention and the extra help she needs there. It's one-on-one, that's more her style. It's been a good experience all around."
McCartin is on track to graduate this coming December, much earlier than the typical June date for seniors in traditional high school.
The personalized teaching style at Mirus is also beneficial to staff, according to teacher Dan Kondrath.
"It's definitely a rewarding experience to see students come in discouraged, but leave our program really encouraged about their future, with a clear goal set," Kondrath said.
Carrillo readily agrees with this transformative aspect of the school.
"I really enjoy working with students who are at risk of dropping out," Carrillo said, "and turning them into success stories. With the right tutoring and right mentality, it gives students another chance at life. That really shows that anything's possible."
The staff at the school encourage the public to check out the open house and haven any questions answered by teachers.
"We're willing to spend any amount of time with the parents and answer any of the questions," Carrillo said. "It's a time for us to get to know the community and to make future connections."

Flint police search for suspect
Fri, 12 Oct 2012 12:38:40 GMT —
Have you seen this man? If so, Flint police want to talk to you.
Genesee County Prosecutor David Leyton says 28 year old McConnie Baker is a wanted man. He's accused of killing his brother, Michael Veal. Police say it happened on Mary Street earlier this week. The brothers had been arguing about a family member, when police say Baker returned to the scene and shot his brother. It all happened in front of Veal's teenage son.
Anyone with information is asked to call Flint Police. It's the 2nd murder on that same Mary Street block, in just a week.

(WARNING – some of you may find the following article annoying as it was written after the author shortly enjoyed a fabulous holiday in the sunny Caribbean. Readers forced to stay in grimy and cold parts of the world during this period should skip forward below).
I have recently returned to England from Barbados, the eastern-most island in the group of volcanic islands stretching in a parabola arc across the Caribbean. The trip was obviously thoroughly enjoyable across a number of fronts – not least the cool rum punches, the sea fishing and the seascape. However, away from the usual tourist stuff, I noticed plenty of things I thought worth recording.
Barbados has been an independent nation since decolonisation in 1966, the year of my birth. Despite throwing off the shackles of colonial status, Barbados remains a remarkably pro-British and pro-Anglosphere nation. This is understanderble on a number of fronts. For starters, a huge slice of its earnings derive from British tourism. Britons and Americans are among the main nationalities who visit. From what I could see there were few continental Europeans there. There are many reminders of its past, not least the grim reality that Barbados's wealth as a sugar-growing island was initially produced by imported slave labour. There is a moving and large statue of an emancipated slave, dubbed 'freedom', close to the main airport on the island. No citizen of this island needs to be reminded of what oppression is. As a Briton I am conflicted about this vile part of our history, in that yes, we built up the island on the back of this institution, but we also were among the first rank of nations to actually abolish it.
You might think that because of this legacy, there would be a great deal of resentment of the British, but if there is, it is very well hidden. School kids regularly sport English soccer T-shirts, there are red telephone boxes everywhere, you drive on the left hand side of the road, and Nelson's column is still proudly displayed in the centre of Bridgetown, the main city. And of course there is cricket. Brian Micklethwait of this blog has already written about this, but surely if the Anglosphere has a defining sport, it is (I now expect abuse from Jefferson's Republic) cricket. The Barbados people are mad on cricket. Sir Gary Sobers, the former West Indies all-rounder, is probably the country's living symbol.
Barbados is a deeply religious island. The Anglican church continues to pull in large congregations. And yet despite, or possibly even because of the Anglican faith's hold, this is a liberal island. For example, prostitution is legal. I was taken aback at how young men, often in the middle of one of the busiest streets in the capital, were offering to sell me drugs. (I did not take up the offer). Of course this was perhaps not so surprising, given the proximity to Latin America.
The people seem to be very entrepreneurial. Taxes are low. Immigration is restricted to those able to show they are financially self-supporting. Men and women are constantly on the lookout to sell you a house, fix you up with jewellery and tell you the best place to get a meal, offer to take you fishing, and the like. Yep, I know the vantage of point of a tourist means I probably missed out on all signs of serious poverty, and after all many people left the island for opportunities elsewhere after WW2, but nevertheless I was impressed. There was nothing like this sort of businesslike buzz when I recently visited France, for example.
On other fronts, Barbados folk seem fairly patriotic. A limited period of military service for young men is compulsory, though it seems not to – yet – cause great unrest. I did not have a chance to check the local press much – I was on holiday! – but I have the impression that there is no great demand for stuff like compulsory ID cards, though like I said, immigration controls are strictly enforced.
I am not trying to claim any profound insights here nor to present the country as some sort of paragon (some may say I had consumed too much Banks beer). But let me finish on this note. Here we have a beautiful island, surrounded by the blue Caribbean, filled with industrious folk speaking English in a lovely accent, who love cricket, Mount Gay Rum, and hot music. What's not to like? Screw the summer holiday, pack your bags, save your pennies, and go to the Gem of the Anglosphere.

We need to start by voting out as many incumbents as possible, on all levels, all the way down to city officials, local judges, etc., if we ever expect to have any hope. The US was once without doubt, the greatest country in the world. We now are not, by a long shot. This has been building up for a long time. People only concerned with what affects them, directly and immediately, with no thought to the overall picture
Some, OK most, Americans need to get out of this country for a few months and I am not talking about going to Cancun(meaning- tourist places. Just because you have been to Disney World does not mean that you have experienced America, if you follow ) and see how life really is. And when I say get out, I am not meaning by doing it through the US military, as that is quite different than being alone without having the support and backing of the gov paying for everything. It will not take long for people to understand what they have no hope of learning here
We are 1 financial crisis away from regressing to the equal of the dark ages. How many people could survive if there was no money or stores to go buy food, weapons, ammo, clothes, medicine, etc. We have become so complacent that the possibility is not even considered by most...

Roody, you haven't answered a damn question in this thread so give it a rest. What question do you want answered? Do I think Bush is a socialist as well.... ANSWER HELL NO! Wishy washy????????????????? About WHAT????????????
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces people into thinking they can't lose. -Bill Gates
Your answer is contradictory. You state the bailout is proof of Obama's socialism, but it's not proof that Bush is one. That makes literally no sense at all due to the fact Bush implemented it and agreed with Obama's continuation of it. Your argument although one I disagree with (As do socialist groups themselves) would be more believable if you hadn't made the bank and auto bailout such a key part of your argument.
As for the other I have in no way deflected your questions and I have no need too. Every President is beholden to people that contribute to their presidency. Obama is unfortunately no different in that matter then Bush, Clinton or Bush again.
By and large I don't disagree with Jawz's statement, but people can do their part just like he stated. If you don't like something do what you can to change it. If you would rather be lazy and think you can't change a thing that's up to you.You don't want to grasp the concept that what you see as being the government, is NOT. Until the day you do, you'll continue to beat the drums for this countries demise by supporting something or someone that is merely a tool.
Are you sure you aren't a politician Roody, because you skirt issues and questions just like one, you still have not answered my question.
Now it's your turn to answer some questions.
1. Bush and Obama BOTH supported the bank and auto bailout. Are you as critical of Bush for that as you have been with Obama? And how does it make Obama a socialist on those issues, but not Bush?
2. When you say you are done in a discussion do you usually backtrack?
We basically don't have to do anything due to the 80/20 Pareto principle. Basically, 20% of the politicians make 80% of the decisions that affect our lives. 20% of Wall St. makes 80% of the money. 20% of the Nazi's killed 80% of the Jews, etc. But it's overall effect no matter the application...is gross inequality and imbalance. These imbalances are always corrected.
...formerly the omnipotent UOD
So, while it was President Bush who started the U.S. down this road, it was President Obama who "took full advantage of this unlimited political line of credit, [and used] TARP as a justification for limitless executive meddling in economic decisions best left to private stakeholders," writes Freddoso.
With the precedent set, an "unlimited political line of credit," and a desire to "fix" things, President Obama introduced "car czar" Steve Rattner to GM:
Rattner fired GM's hapless CEO Rick Wagoner, something he had no right to do (even if it was a good idea from a business perspective). He later forced out GM's acting chairman and recruited its new chairman, Ed Whitacre. Rattner's task force hand-picked staff, micromanaged GM's relationships with its suppliers and foreign subsidiaries, chose the facilities it would close, chose the brands it would kill, set the pace at which would shed dealerships, even at one point considered forcing GM to move from its iconic Detroit headquarters."
I NEVER backtracked. Bush did not want control over the industry, he was trying to help it. I disagree with both, the government has no business interfering with the private sector like that. Obama wanted to control the industry, just as he wants to control the banking industry (he made companies take money that did not want or need it) and healthcare. All are the infrastructures of our economy, he wants to control them all.
But you took one part of what I said and ran with it ignoring everything else I said...... just like the liberal media. Explain Obama investing tax payers money in alternative energy that will not work, explain how government healthcare is not going to bankrupt this country. We already have government healthcare, it's called medicare and medicaid, look how well those two are managed and you think a total government healthcare is good???? Stay out of it and let the private sector have competition and keep prices competitive and affordable.
As for government health care, Obamacare has individual mandates which will require insurance for american citizens. The upside to this is the hospitals and by extension the tax payers will not have to assume the debt of those who aren't covered. Instead although the cost upfront will be there it will be recovered by bringing down overall costs that otherwise have been there previously due to the uninsured.
Btw, even Republicans (Apparently not you though) know that the health care system ISN'T affordable and something has to be done. The disagreement between the two parties is on how. Only you in your dream world thinks it's somehow affordable for the entirety of this country.
Lastly, the accusation of you backtracking has to do with you saying you are done and than coming right back in. It wasn't a political statement.
Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces people into thinking they can't lose. -Bill Gates
I think it's fair to say you and I both agree on a need for campaign finance reform. It certainly puts the power into a select, very wealthy few.Oh I will vote, even though it doesn't mean a damn thing. Remove George Soros and company from the picture and we may have some sort of chance. Good luck with that!
Look at the other "choices" we had, this past election was a joke all the way around.
Sliding down the banister of life ..........................
Infowars.com, etc. While majority of their references on info comes from people who are well known in their fields, "ETC..."
But, wait, it is not on mainstream news so it cannot be true. But if it is FOX News it is definitely not true.
People who believe what they hear or see without actually doing their own research or finding the sources are ignorant and yay for the government on having control over the majority. Gun control, let's ban all guns, wait, just semi-automatics. Let's force Americans to buy healthcare and cause even more economical collapse. Owe the IRS? Well, no more passport/leaving the country. GMO crops/cattle etc. that are knowingly causing health problems and cancers. selling unpasteurized goat milk, goat cheese, yogurt? well, be prepared to be arrested.

Tyler Myers and Ryan Miller helped give Ron Rolston a memorable night.
Myers scored a go-ahead goal early in third period, Miller made 30 saves, and Rolston won for the first time as Buffalo's interim coach in the Sabres' 2-1 victory over the host Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday night.
"It was great, especially the way it was done," Rolston said. "Just the battle level and the competitive nature we had tonight was outstanding. You could just feel it on the bench, the guys, how dialed in they were. I'm really happy for our team. We've seen a lot of really good signs, and we just needed something to keep us moving in the right direction."
Rolston replaced long-time Buffalo coach Lindy Ruff on Feb. 20.
Stars 5, Blue Jackets 4: Loui Eriksson fought off two defenders to get his stick on a rebound and jammed it in 3:03 into overtime to give Dallas a victory over host Columbus. Eriksson was being held back by a pair of Blue Jackets but reached for the puck as he was falling and whipped it past goalie Sergei Bobrovsky for the winner.
Wild 2, Flames 1: Zach Parise scored 27 seconds into overtime to lift host Minnesota to a win over Calgary. With the Wild sputtering on offense once again, Jason Zucker scored for Minnesota with 4:19 left in regulation to send it to overtime.
Panthers 6, Penguins 4: Tomas Kopecky recorded his first career hat trick and Tomas Fleischmann had the go-ahead score for his 100th career goal, lifting host Florida to a win over Pittsburgh.
Coyotes 4, Canucks 2: Kyle Chipchura scored twice, and Mike Smith made 29 saves to lead Phoenix to a victory over host Vancouver.
Bruins 4, Islanders 1: Brad Marchand scored the goal-ahead in the second period and the Bruins continued their dominance of the host Islanders — Boston's 16th win in its past 20 games against New York. .
Kings-Flyers trade: The Kings traded Simon Gagne back to the Flyers for a conditional draft pick, sending the struggling left wing back to the city where he had his greatest NHL success. Los Angeles will get a third-round pick if Philadelphia makes the playoffs or a fourth-round pick if the Flyers miss the postseason.
Stars-Canadiens trade: Less than 24 hours after picking up a career-best three assists in a loss at Nashville, the Stars dealt right wing Michael Ryder and a third-round draft pick to the Canadiens for right wing Erik Cole in a swap of veteran forwards.
Devils: The Devils have placed goaltender Martin Brodeur, 40, on injured reserve with a sore back.

So, I reshaped my Ad structure. Before, my ads were on the right column, the Tall Skyscraper mode. In the new model, they are the Large Rectrangle, right above the main article in the middle column. Your eye instantly falls on it, like a chick that lost her bikini top at the beach.
Result? The next day, CTR's were in the 5%-6% range - and have stayed there...this is about a week ago. I'm loving life.
Just a note to pass along to help others....
After a few months, I changed the ad format to a large rectangle.
The earnings went from $50 a month to $500 a month (back then, immediately), mainly because of putting a large rectangle in the center, blended in the content -- just above the fold as you did. CTR went up similar to yours as well.

TRIPOLI, Libya — Libyans shouting for revenge buried Moammar Gadhafi's second-youngest son Monday, and South Africa warned that the NATO bombing that killed him would only bring more violence.
Libya's leader did not attend the tumultuous funeral of 29-year-old Seif al-Arab, but older brothers Seif al-Islam and Mohammed paid their respects, thronged by a crowd of several thousand. Jostling to get closer to the coffin, draped with a green Libyan flag, mourners flashed victory signs and chanted "Revenge, revenge for you, Libya."
Three of Gadhafi's grandchildren — an infant and two toddlers — also died in Saturday's attack, which NATO says targeted one of the regime's command and control centers. Gadhafi and his wife were in the compound at the time, but escaped unharmed, Libyan officials said, accusing the alliance of trying to assassinate the Libyan leader.
NATO officials have denied they are hunting Gadhafi to break the battlefield stalemate between Gadhafi's troops and rebels trying for the past 10 weeks to depose him. Rebels largely control eastern Libya, while Gadhafi has clung to much of the west, including the capital, Tripoli.
Fierce battles have raged in Misrata, a besieged rebel-held city in western Libya, which has been shelled by Libyan forces every day in recent weeks. Records at one hospital showed that at least eight people were killed and 54 injured in shelling on Monday.
Under a U.N. mandate, NATO's role is to protect Libyan civilians, but the international community has increasingly disagreed about what that entails.
Western political leaders have called for Gadhafi's ouster, prompting warnings from Russia, China and others that regime change must not be the objective of NATO's bombing campaign, now in its second month.
Responding to the attack on Gadhafi's compound, South Africa said Monday that "attacks on leaders and officials can only result in the escalation of tensions and conflicts on all sides and make future reconciliation difficult."
On Sunday, Russia accused NATO of a "disproportionate use of force" and called for an immediate cease-fire.
South Africa has attempted to mediate between Gadhafi and the rebels, proposing a cease-fire and dialogue. Rebel leaders have said they will lay down their arms only when Gadhafi and his family leave, but Gadhafi has refused.

I have been a Tribune subscriber since 1974. If The Salt Lake Tribune wonders why its readers keep leaving and its circulation keeps falling, someone there needs to stand back and look at the newspaper it has decided to become.
In one of the most politically conservative states in this nation, The Tribune has decided to espouse the liberal cause. The editorial page, the Pat Bagley cartoons and the general staff-written copy are taking this newspaper to a destiny of oblivion.
During the '70s and '80s, the same thing was happening to radio stations in America. With the success of several conservative talk show hosts, the radio stations in this country were saved.

My 14 year old indoor cat went missing.
She was gone for 13 days. I just got a call last night and someone found her hiding under their deck.
She is clean and seems fine. But very skinny and thristy. And she seems a bit stiff in the legs.
She was not a big cat to begin with. I feed her dry food for senior cats.
Is there something that I can give her to help regain her weight and health? Like ensure for cats?
I know that when she was a bitty kitten we gave her a kitten formula (she was taken from momma cat too early).
Is there something like that for older cats?
She is eating and drinking fine now. But I can feel each and every vertibrate and bone in her body when I pet her.
Thank you.

Oh, and you should probably make an appointment to take her in anyway. She may have picked up a parasite that is impacting her health as well.
I'm glad she's home!!

Bring her in for a check up and blood work- to assure that she doesn't have any underlying problems (especially considering her age). They will likely want to do either SQ Fluids or IV fluids to rehydrate her. There are a few recovery (high cal/nutrition) diets available through your vet (they have at least twice the calories of regular canned food)-Hills a/d, Royal Canin/Medi-cal recovery, Iams Max Cal. These are also able to be syringe fed if the pet is not eating.
Sadly, Jan 21, 2011 m/c 6w5d
Thank you.
I am going to be bringing her in to the vet for a check-up, but unfortunately cannot get her there before the weekend.
She is drinking well and eating very well too. She has been going in the litter so she is fine with elimination too.
I bought her some wet food for senior cats for now and will take her to the vet this weekend.
She is in good spirits, and back to being her self again.
I am just so relieved that she is home and safe.

Redwood Shores, CA, United States, 2014/12/02 - Communications service providers can quickly offer secure and enterprise-grade communications including click-to-call, video calling, and screen sharing - Oracle.com. NYSE, NASDAQ: ORCL
As enterprises move to all-IP networks and cloud-based applications, communications service providers (CSPs) facing increased competition from over-the-top providers delivering content via the Internet and independently of CSPs must be able to offer seamless cloud-based communication and collaboration solutions that can scale for small, midsize, and large enterprises, as well as public sector organizations, in order to keep and grow market share. The latest version of Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite gives CSPs the capability to do just that. In addition, its integration with Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller enables CSPs to quickly and easily add integrated real-time and near real-time capabilities to their menu of secure, enterprise-grade services.
Oracle today announced Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite 7.6 to enable CSPs to increase their market opportunity, effectively target customers, and drive loyalty with a comprehensive range of unified communications and collaboration offerings.
To help CSPs generate new revenue streams and compete more effectively, the secure and scalable Oracle solution builds on its existing messaging, chat, calendar, and contact management capabilities with:
Out-of-the-box integration with Oracle Communications WebRTC Session Controller, enabling high-value, real-time services such as one-on-one and multiparty audio and video calling, conferencing, Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)/public switched telephone network (PSTN) interoperability, session transfer from audio to web, and screen sharing
Multitenant architecture and provisioning, allowing CSPs to deliver differentiated services at scale, while helping to optimize network resource utilization and ultimately to raise profit margins
CardDav-enabled contact service, giving users secure access to their contacts regardless of their location or the device they are using
By bringing these new capabilities together, CSPs can create a nearly seamless user experience for customers, reducing application toggling and maintaining context across various modes of communication such as e-mail, instant messaging, text messaging, and more.
Supporting Quote
Communications service providers must offer compelling services if they want to regain control of the communications experience, said Bhaskar Gorti, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Communications. Oracle Communications Unified Communications Suite provides CSPs with a cloud-ready solution that can enable them to expand their brand equity and generate revenue, all by using existing network resources to deliver an integrated set of collaboration and communication tools to enterprises of any size.

" Brand: Tesco / Type: Ice Cream "
Seeing as the hot weather has now finally arrived, expect for today as its raining. It's time to crack out the ice cream and ice lollies to cool us all down.
I hate spending money on branded products when there are cheaper alternatives out there. And constantly shopping at different supermarkets really has given me an idea of which stores are the best to purchase different items from.
Tesco's choc ices come in a pack of 10, which come in a recyclable cardboard box. Each choc ice is individually wrapped in a thin paper sealed packet. As the choc ices are frozen I find this a nightmare as some of the paper like to stick to the dark chocolate choc ice which really doesn't taste nice mixed with a nice piece of paper packaging.
Each choc ice is around 3 inches in length an inch and a half in width and around half an inch in depth. Tesco's sell this 10 pack of choc ices for the extremely low price of only £1 working out to be only 10p each, what a bargain!
The choc ices are of a nice size and when taking a bite into the lovely thin crispy layer of chocolate it makes a nice cracking noise, as you bite down you get the lovely taste of vanilla ice-cream, which is smooth creamy and just melts away in your mouth leaving a lovely refreshing feel run down your throat.
I love the taste of these choc ices, the dark chocolate has a lovely smooth rich taste to it which complements the ice cream down to a t. I much prefer the taste of these dark chocolate choc ices compared to the milk chocolate. They have more of a slight kick to them!
Tesco's you have done well and this really is an item to add into your shopping basket though those summer months.
Overall a great tasting product at an excellent price.
I decided to have a bit of a clear out of my freezer. To get ready now for the wholesome soups and sauces that I could make and freeze. At the back had fallen a of box Tesco's dark chocolate choc ices. So that is were they went, I thought someone had been greedy and had eaten the lot when I wasn't looking!!
I had got these some months ago when we were trying every different ice cream that came on offer, when I spotted these in a box of 10 for only £1 what a bargain!
The usual white box showing red lettering with some of the choc ices on the front. On opening them it is a bit disappointing as they are individualy wrapped, but in a thin plain white wrapper.I know it sounds strange as it is only a wrapper, but this makes them look very cheap. On biting into the choc ice it is a different story as the chocolate is very nice and doesn't taste like some of the cheap chocolate that some things are covered in. Now down to the ice cream this is quite soft ( maybe my freezer needs turning up!!) and very creamy.
So at only 10p per choc ice you really can't go wrong, although it is proberly the wrong time of the year to be reviewing these. We could be in for an Indian Summer so there might still be time to give these a try!
Each choc ice has;
~~~Calories 140~~~
~~~Sugar 11.3g~~~
~~~Fat 9.1g~~~
~~~Saturates 7.8g~~~
~~~Salt trace~~~
So for a really cheap choc ice you can't go wrong as they are quite tasty, maybe not up to the Ben and Jerry standard ( I know they don't make choc ices, well I don't think they do!). The price does reflect this, but even so a great little ice cream to have in the freezer!
I'll give this product 4 stars

North Park Jack in the Box court case surprise
"I am not going to subject my clients to abusive declarations by Mr. Briggs."
Dorian Hargrove 1:15 p.m., Sept. 25
A 20-year-old man was charged this afternoon with pre-meditated attempted murder on 49-year-old Lisa Badgett and first degree murder on 47-year-old Robert Riggins.
The two victims were shot "at point blank range with a rifle" according to prosecutor David Bost, who spoke at Diego Martinez' first court appearance in San Diego's North County Superior Courthouse, today.
The two victims were reportedly in a truck when they were shot, across the street from the home of Diego Martinez, in the 4700 block of Calle Solimar, according to Oceanside Police.
It was just after midnight in the early morning minutes of Thursday, August 30 when police were called and found a woman in a truck screaming for help.
Police Lieutenant Leonard Mata said shooting victim Lisa Badgett sustained non-life threatening injuries and was transported to hospital for treatment.
The other person who was shot, Robert Riggins, is said to have staggered from the truck but succumbed to his fatal wounds in the driveway of a nearby home, in the 300 block of Calle Mariposa.
Oceanside police reported finding a rifle in Martinez' home but could not confirm if it was the same weapon used in the shooting.
Judge Marshall Hockett declared Martinez "an extreme danger to the community" and set bail at $5 million.
Diego Martinez, 20, pleaded not guilty through his public defender, Emily Harmon, and is expected to appear next in court September 13.
He wont be seeing daylight for a few decades-if ever.
-.-t he will c the light of day again because i belive he DIDNT DO IT.
He MAY INDEED BE NOT GUILTY. I jumped the gun.
I grew up with Diego, the shooting happen at midnight and why did it took then over 7 hours to go Diego house and arrest him, also why would he shoot someone just in front of his house its doesn't make sense, also it is not clear that the gun they found was the one used for the shooting, the judge dose not have enough reason to say that he is a threat to the community , he has lived in that same street for his whole life.
He is charged with murder and attempted murder-for bond purposes he is considered guilty. That is how the system is set up, for bond the charges are deemed true, even though no factual determinations have been made.

ATLANTA, GA -- Ryan Reid is considered the "unsung hero" of Florida State's basketball team, according to head coach Leonard Hamilton.
On Sunday night, in the Seminoles' Atlantic Coast Conference season-opener at No. 22 Georgia Tech, the senior forward showed why that title fits. Reid, who scored a career-high 17 points, was the hero of a 66-59 overtime victory for the Seminoles.
Reid scored on Florida State's first two possessions of overtime before Chris Singleton banked in a one-handed runner to make it 61-59 and put the Seminoles ahead to stay with 1:05 left on the clock.
After the game, an exhausted Reid talked about his career night.
"I just went out there and laid it on the line like Coach has been talking about," Reid said. "Basically, just going out there and trying to get every loose ball, just keep hustling, and don't ever give up.
"Tonight, shots just fell for me," Reid added. "I just followed Coach (Stan) Jones' gameplan."
While the Seminoles struggled from the field, shooting just 24-for-60 (40 percent) on the evening, they once again turned in an impressive defensive effort. The Yellow Jackets, who had shot better than 40 percent in each of their first eight games this season, were held to 23-for-70 (32.9 percent) on Sunday.
"I thought the kids gave a tremendous effort tonight and I thought it was a direct reflection to the amount of respect we have for Georgia Tech," Hamilton said. "They have very good shooters, and we had little room for error, so I thought our players did well focusing and executing. Neither one of us shot the ball very well, but both teams are very good defensive teams and I thought the effort was tremendous."
Most importantly, Tech post prospects Derrick Favors and Gani Lawal - both considered NBA first-round talent - were limited to just a combined 12 points on the evening. Reid had a direct hand in slowing down the Yellow Jackets' interior game.
"Tonight we realized that we had to rebound well in order to be in this game, and Reid had to defend who I think is a lottery pick in Gani Lawal," Hamilton said. "We did a good job of defending him. We all know Gani is an outstanding player, and a couple shots just didn't fall for him and we were able to get enough guys around him."
While it seemed like there was a special effort on stymieing the Jackets' post players, Reid said it came down to executing their basic principles.
"Basically our defensive principles that we do for every team," Reid said. "It was basically just hustling and getting into our spots and just doing what the coaches said."
The Seminoles (10-2, 1-0 Atlantic Coast Conference) won their fourth straight game and stopped a seven-game win streak for Georgia Tech (8-2, 0-1 Atlantic Coast Conference). FSU, which is 1-0 in the ACC for only the third time in the Hamilton era, won't play another ACC game until the second week in January.
"It is a ranked team, on the road, it means a lot for us," sophomore guard Deividas Dulkys said. "Now we have to take care of business at home before the other ACC games."
The Seminoles got 12 points from Dulkys and 10 points from Singleton in the win. Solomon Alabi also contributed nine points and 12 rebounds in the win.
For the Yellow Jackets, forward Zachery Peacock scored 17 points. Guard Mfon Udofia added 12 points as Georgia Tech lost its fourth straight ACC opener.
Florida State led 27-22 at the half despite shooting 8-for-33 (24.2 percent) from the field, and 3-for-13 (23.1 percent) from the perimeter, in the opening 20 minutes.
After building a lead of eight points with 6:30 remaining in the game, Florida State allowed the Yellow Jackets to creep back into the game. The game was eventually forced to overtime, all tied at 54, as Florida State failed to score in the final 2:08, surrendering a five-point lead over that span.
Two pivotal possessions were costly for the Seminoles in the final minute of regulation. With 44 seconds remaining, center Solomon Alabi missed two free throws. On the next possession, Tech's Peacock tied the game with a jumper. Florida State had the ball with 29 seconds remaining, but failed to get off a shot on the final possession as Derwin Kitchen was called for a travel with 0.7 seconds remaining on the clock.
"I was hesitant," Kitchen said. "I knew Lawal was going to come out and the play was just for me to try and create but I pulled it out, hesitated, playing with the ball and passed it too late."
While the Seminoles could have folded in overtime, they instead outscored Paul Hewitt's club 12-5 in the final five minutes.
"We knew it was our game, we kind of let it slip up at the end," Kitchen said. "We had the game and we let it slip away, missing free throws and giving them easy offensive rebounds and put-backs. To come back in overtime, for everybody to come back and stay with it and get that W (win) on the road, it means a lot for this team."
"Good teams always come back, and they were a really good team," Dulkys added. "We knew we were going to have to fight. It was a dogfight, and we were there."
Florida State will return to action on Tuesday when the Seminoles host Hamilton's alma mater, Tennessee-Martin, at 7 p.m.
Talk about it on the Tribal Council or the Hoops Message Board.

If you think I need more resolution than a dial caliper, stop reading what I am writing.
Per Vernon Speer in 1956, when one finds the threshold of brass change, one should back off 6% powder charge for the max load.
I have found that with Hodgdon extreme powders and my own rifle, I can back off 4% powder charge and I have safety margin for long brass life over a range of variables including; temp, brass volume, powder throw variation, primer variation, dirty chamber variation, bullet seating variation, ect.

The word 'forum" does not mean "not criticizing books."
"Ad hominem fallacy" is not the same as point by point criticism of books. If you bought the book, and believe it all, it may FEEL like an ad hominem attack, but you might strive to accept other points of view may exist.
Are we a nation of competing ideas, or a nation of forced conformity of thought?

When Faunus, the god of daydreams, breaks the heart of Queen Mab, revenge can be the only answer. Using the most powerful families in Verona, they wage their war against one another. But when Mab falls in love, this bitter queen will do anything, even if it means destroying the world, to change the story.
©2014 Kate Danley (P)2016 Kate Danley
All of my reviews are on my blog audiobookreviewer dot com
"did not breck the integrity of the original"
The gods of old are infamous for playing with humans, giving out tokens of favor or destroying bloodlines over some trivial slight. Taking one of the most famous tragedies by Shakespeare, Kate Danley weaves a new twist in which the mythological gods play an intricate and deadly role. The houses of Montague and Capulet are the key victims being used by both Queen Mab, the bringer of nightly dreams and Faunus, the bringing of day dreams to get what they want. However, Queen Mab discovers true love and becomes transformed trying to prevent Faunus from destroying the houses and her true-love.
Danley stays true to the story being careful to weave in hers without taking away from Shakespeare's infamous love tragedy. Danley did not attempt to write in the eloquent Shakespearean style; her writing is different yet just as expressive and fluent in a simpler style.
Shakespeare is known for intrigue and Danley continues with the tradition; her intrigue clearly compliments and fits with the classic tale making her story of Queen Mab richer and more powerful. It is never a good thing when gods interfere; they are seen as petty and selfish. While Queen Mab begins that way, her character grows revealing that even gods may have a depth of kindness hidden somewhere deep within themselves.
As an English major and fan of Shakespearean writings, I was not sure that I would like this book. I had my doubts that anyone could make Romeo and Juliet better. Danley is a gifted and skilled writer. She successfully tied in her story without breaking the integrity of the original story.
The characters were well-developed moving one from disliking Queen Mab to feeling a range of emotions from dislike to pity to sadness to cheering her on. When a character goes through such powerful changes and grows, the listener cannot help but change their opinion.
The narrator, Julian Rhind-Tutt is talented. His narration was flawless. I liked that he spoke clearly and with a cadence that felt comfortable – not too fast nor too slow. His vocal expressions were strong especially during pivotal times. I enjoyed hearing his voice; soothing and even. Well done!
There were no issues at all with the production and I have to say while there was definitely an opportunity for it to sound more theatrical with sound effects, I am delighted that the production company chose not to go that route. This was already a rich tale, it needed nothing more than a talented narrator which it has. Anything more would have taken away from the story.

"Twist of fae to the world of Romeo and Juliet"
I would gladly listen to this story again, not only for Julian's voice but also for hearing the twists to the story as I would now know how it ends and could pick up some smaller details in the wavy road we take.
Okay, the first thing I noticed as I listened to the first words of the story, the seductive voice of Julian. *sigh* His accent and flow of his rhythmic tone had me at the first sentence. He uses his breath with the words to draw me to the feeling of the romance present with the characters. Good gracious! I wanted to listen to him for ever! Okay, the quality of the audio - it's splendid. It was clear and clean, nothing to distract for his amazing voice. Julian also did slight differences for the characters that indicated their emotions and personality as he spoke for them.
I found I was tearing up at one death. Saddened for the lose of life and the lose of a love that was finally felt. In the end, Kate's words and Julian's voice brought pools to my eyes, all works in my heart with the way this ends. Kate has done a splendid job of mixing what Shakespeare created with Romeo and Juliet and Queen Mab with her own story involving Queen Mab and the reason she's the way she is. I thoroughly enjoyed the story while I listened to it.
I do enjoy the poetic flow of descriptions written by Kate. It's similar to Shakespearian and, as the fairy descriptions do, has a unique feel to drawing images in our minds. Even what they do in action has a hidden meaning to get to what they want. And the fairy beings have centuries to wait for what they truly want, as they are immortal. And that the do here.
In the beginning things feel simple, the fae and their mischievous ways and Mab reck her revenge on those involved. Easy to understand and follow, which gives us the grace time to slip into thinking used to the speak of poetic words. We get the history and important events leading up to the big show of what happens with Romeo and Juliet. Bringing us the details from a few different POV's that tells what the characters are working toward, what they desire in doing all they've done. We mostly get the POV of Mab, but we do slip to Juno's head as well as Faunus too.
Oh, even Queen Mab has an equal out there that puts her in her place. Mab is not the only powerful being in the realm. Learning this in the story, we see Mab suffer from coming toe to toe with another powerful being. And there are lessons to be learned. In the fairy way, things twist and turn to bring those involved to do opposite what they thought they would do. There is always one pinning for power, and will do anything for it.
For what do the fairy of old compete over? Power? Affection? It seems that love is at the root of all, to feel or not feel love. But, the question is who was scorned deepest, as it seems several are seething to get revenge for the lack of love in their live. Love seems to be one emotion to easily manipulate to get what you want, yet you stand the chance of losing to love as well, which can be good and bad and what Mab learns here.
When I finished this story, I thought this could be one that young adults could listen/read as well. There was no terrible language or overly intimate scenes. It's about finding love. This could easily be read/listened to by all ages.
Who was the true player of these games? In the end I wonder if it wasn't Juno, who knew all needed to learn lessons and come to who they are.

"The Magical Underpinnings of Character Motivation"
I thought the concept behind this novel was clever and compelling. What if the motivations of supernatural beings, goddesses, faeries et al. are made an explicit element of the plot, instead of random action that can't be accounted for but simply accommodated? "Queen Mab" provides "Romeo and Juliet" with just such a twist, where the power struggles of the faerie beings are even more potent and persistent than those of the human families.
The character of Queen Mab herself undergoes a transformation during the events of the tale. Iniitally she seems as malicious and whimsical as anyone with a nearly unlimited realm of power and a very long life is likely to be: she controls the dreams and fancies of sleeping human beings, and is thus quite influential. When conflicts ensue with Faunus, who controls daydreams, and then Juno steps in to make sure her own interests are protected, Mab remains powerful, yet must contrive all her machinations under Juno's curse, which makes her face reflect the nature of her heart's intentions. So she can no longer count on mesmerizing beauty at all times--quite a blow to a faerie queen! At the same time she suffers yet another blow in falling in love with a mere mortal, basically akin to a rare butterfly falling for a mayfly.
Kate Danley succeeds in making the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet just another peripheral difficulty in the permanently phantasmogorical realm of magical power struggles.The book's most interesting impact is the transformation in Mab's character--whoever really imagined a faerie being capable of positive change?
The language of the tale preserves the iambic poetry of Shakespeare's dialogue while successfully creating a distinctly non-human realm for the magical beings--at times the atmosphere feels almost like a rave at 5 am, where absolutely anything is possible and will be so again the next time. Julian Rhind-Tutt's smooth, melodic narration helped pull off this otherwordly effect.This is a tale about faeries that is nothing like a fairy tale!

"Great retelling of Romeo and Juliet"
The narrator was fantastic. I liked how the author expanded the story of Romeo and Juliet by bringing in gods and their influence in shaping the tragic love story. I loved Mercutio.
I have not, but I will definitely look for other books he has narrated.

text: WVU hopes third time's a charm against Oklahoma By Dave Hickman March 5, 2013 Story Share MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - There have been times this season - plenty of them, in fact - when it appeared as if West Virginia's basketball team might be ready to turn a corner.Early in the season, those times came late in games. There was the dramatic comeback against Texas in the second game of Big 12 play. There was another late rally in a game a week later at Iowa State that ultimately fell just short.More often than not, however, the encouraging spurts have come early. The Mountaineers have led teams - good teams - like Kansas and Oklahoma State, both on the road. In fact, there were times when West Virginia seemed on the verge of breaking those games open.It didn't happen, of course. In fact, in those two and others it was the opponent that quickly broke things open and turned the games into routs. In doing so, they illustrated yet another weakness these Mountaineers have shown."I think you've seen that we're prepared when the game starts," coach Bob Huggins said. "We've started pretty well in virtually every game here of late. Our problem comes when they do some different things and make some adjustments. As I've kind of alluded to all year, we don't adjust when other people adjust. That part of it has been difficult for us."The Mountaineers get another chance to see if they can adjust tonight when they play their final road game of their frustrating first season in the Big 12. West Virginia (13-16, 6-10 Big 12) faces Oklahoma (19-9, 10-6) in a 9 p.m. game at the Lloyd Noble Center in Norman. The game will be televised by ESPN2.Indeed, West Virginia's issue of late has been its failure to make adjustments, something all teams have to do. At Kansas, the Mountaineers led 16-9 early and had all the momentum on their side. But when Kansas turned up its defensive pressure, West Virginia was lost. By the end of the day, the Jayhawks had turned that seven-point deficit into a 14-point halftime lead, a 29-point second-half bulge and a 91-65 win.Despite that, Huggins said he actually has seen a bit of improvement in that regard. "I think we have pushed through [adversity] better, in all honesty," Huggins said. "It was hard to see that at Kansas. But let's be honest, when they make shots the way they made shots, they're awful hard to guard.''It's also awfully hard to adjust to a team with four seniors in the starting lineup, all of who have been through multiple NCAA tournament runs and a national championship game appearance last season."Those guys have four fifth-year seniors who understand and can make adjustments, and they did make adjustments,'' Huggins said. "I think that's been the hard thing. Even though we do have some upperclassmen, Deniz [Kilicli] is really the only one who's played much. It's hard to make the kind of adjustments that we need to make just because of our lack of knowledge and experience.''In Oklahoma, the Mountaineers will be facing yet another experienced group that starts three seniors and a junior. The teams have played twice already this season - in Orlando, Fla., in a Thanksgiving tournament and then in January at the Coliseum - and the Mountaineers had chances to win both games. The Sooners won 77-70 in Florida and 67-57 in the Big 12 opener.A particular thorn in WVU's side in that most recent game between the teams was Romero Osby, a 6-foot-8 senior who averages 15.2 points and 7.1 rebounds. He had 21 points and nine boards in Morgantown."He's a hard matchup, I think, for any so-called four man to guard, because he bounces it so well,'' Huggins said. "He can get it at the rim, and he can make shots obviously. And he's got the physical strength to be able to play in the post and put people on his back. So I think he's a tough matchup."That game was another example of the Mountaineers doing well until an opponent adjusted. West Virginia led 43-31 in the second half and then was outscored 36-14 the rest of the way. The Sooners clamped down on freshman guard Terry Henderson, who had six 3-pointers.

ONTARIO >> Nineteen years after a Florida truck driver was shot to death at an Ontario truck stop, forensic evidence helped authorities get a conviction against the accused killer.
Buster Shackleford, a Florida truck driver, was sitting in the cab of his big rig on December 29, 1994, when gunshots killed him. His truck was parked in front of the Beacon Truck Stop that used to be in the 4300 block of East Inland Empire Blvd. but has been since demolished.
In May 2010, Ontario police detectives reprocessed forensic evidence taken from the original crime scene enabling them to identify 40-year-old Demus Lushan Peterson of Lauderhill, Florida, as their prime suspect.
Two years later, Ontario police detectives traveled to Florida to talk to Peterson, who at the time was on federal probation for drug trafficking charges, police said in a written statement.
After the interview, the detectives took Peterson into custody. With the help of the U.S. Marshals service, Peterson was extradited back to California to stand trial for murder.
On Thursday, Peterson was convicted of first-degree murder involving a firearm and awaits sentencing, police officials said.
Peterson could potentially be sentenced to 35 years to life in prison, officials added.
"It is important that the people of Ontario know we continuously review evidence involving cases that have gone unsolved," Detective Jeff Wentz said. "The advancements in forensic technology are enabling detectives to find leads that may have not been available to us years ago."

The Competition Appellate Tribunal today upheld an order passed against National Stock Exchange by fair trade regulator CCI, which had found the bourse guilty of abusing its dominant market position in currency derivatives segment and had fined it Rs 55.5 crore.
"We do not see any merits in the Appeal and dismiss the same," the Tribunal said in its 95-page order, while dismissing NSE's plea filed nearly three years ago against the Competition Commission of India (CCI) order.
Reacting to the order, NSE said that it would appeal against the decision and "whatever it has done was in the interest of the development of the capital markets".
In May 2011, the competition watchdog had found NSE guilty of abusing its dominant market position and adopting unfair trade practices in currency derivatives trading.
A month later, CCI also imposed a fine of Rs 55.5 crore on the country's leading bourse for abusing its dominant market position, and asked it to stop unfair trade practices. At that time, it was the CCI's first major penalty against anti- competition practices.
Subsequently, NSE challenged CCI order before the Competition Appellate Tribunal (Compat), which had granted a stay in September 2011. The CCI had begun its probe against NSE following a complaint by rival stock exchange MCX-SX.
Welcoming the Compat order, MCX Stock Exchange CEO Saurabh Sarkar said that dominant entities have a special responsibility not to distort competition.
Earlier after CCI order in 2011, MCX-SX had said it would seek compensation to the tune of Rs 500 crore for lost business opportunity in the wake of NSE's unfair practices.
NSE on its part said that "it will appeal the order of Compat and do the needful after going through the detailed order. A suitable review of the implications will be done in due course."
While the exchange did not specify further details on its next course of action, a Compat order can be challenged only in the Supreme Court.
In its order, Compat said, "It has been held by the CCI that besides the abuse of dominant position, it (NSE) has cross subsidised from other segments of business. It also camouflaged its intentions by not maintaining separate accounts for the CD (currency derivative) segment.
"NSE created a facade of the nascency of market for not charging any fees on account of transactions in the CD segment, it expressed that the small pockets were bound to be thrown out of the market, if they had also followed the zero transaction fee policy, which was adopted by NSE by incurring huge losses."
The Tribunal further said, "NSE was making tons of profits from the relevant market on account of its services in the other segments. Therefore, there can be no justification for taking any lenient view."
The Tribunal, however, said there was no necessity of putting all the other segments in one group as relevant market.
"The logic of the CCI on this question is flawed and we reject the same. Merely because at the relevant time period, the services of the stock exchange of MCX-SX were limited to CD segment, it does not mean that the relevant market had to be held as a CD segment market," the Compat order said.
Citing provision in the Competition Act, the Tribunal said it suggests there have to be two markets, one in which the enterprise has a dominant position and the other in which it intends to enter or protect.
"However, both the markets must be relevant markets distinct from each other. In the wake of our finding, as also the finding by the Director General (DG) that the relevant market in this case is the services by the stock exchange, there is no question of two markets," it added.
Pronouncing NSE guilty of abusing its dominant market position, the Competition Commission had also asked the country's largest stock exchange to immediately stop subsidising its services.
MCX Stock Exchange (MCX-SX) had accused NSE of abusing its dominant market position to corner business in the CD segment.
CCI in its order had also directed the NSE to "cease and desist from unfair pricing, exclusionary conduct and unfairly using its dominant position in other markets to protect the relevant CD (currency derivative) market with immediate effect."
The final order from CCI followed a majority order passed by the Commission on May 25, 2011, along with which it had issued a notice to the bourse before quantifying the penalty.
The first order was passed with a majority vote of five members of the seven-member commission, while the final order was also been passed with 4-2 majority.
Compat Upholds CCI Order, Rs 55.5 Cr Fine Against NSE
The Competition Appellate Tribunal today upheld an order passed against National Stock Exchange by fair trade regulator CCI, which had found the bourse guilty of abusing its dominant market position in currency derivatives segment and had fined it Rs 55.5 crore.

Faded Love
Mike, Joe, Chris, Lawrence, Sequoia and their friends are looking ghetto fabulous. The men sport sags, giant tattoos and sleeveless shirts. The women wear bright halter tops and shiny metallic belts. But nobody's feeling fabulous. They've just visited a packed Federal Emergency Management Agency aid center on the South Loop and been told to come back later. Meanwhile, they're staying in a hotel on their own dime and bleeding cash.
I'm here to help. I'm not a Red Cross worker or a missionary -- I'm a journalist looking to write about young evacuees rebuilding their lives -- but I tell them I'd be happy to help in their search for jobs, show them around the city and run errands; and if they'd care to talk to me about their experiences, I'd be glad to listen. The deal sounds good to them. I pass out my card and take down a cell phone number.
I call that evening and mention that I'm going to New Orleans in two days. Do they need anything? Sequoia says her clothes are still in her flooded house. Can I swing by and get them? No problem, I say. She asks me to dial her when I'm in town and ready.
Katrina evacuees
Saturday morning, Interstate 10 shuttles me past a blur of blown-out billboards, snapped pine trees and collapsed churches. Rita's ugly face recedes and Katrina's jumps in snarling. As I turn down Airline Street and drive into the heart of the city, I see twisted piles of sheet metal and miles of blown-out windows. The road dips beneath an overpass and into the scum-stained flood zone. An abandoned boat rests on a sidewalk.

In the morning, I push deeper into the center of the flood's devastation. A wide boulevard littered with abandoned cars and city buses leads to a police checkpoint. I flash a press badge and cross a drawbridge into the mud-slathered wasteland of the Lower Ninth Ward. A boat sits in a tree. A house has floated two blocks and settled down atop the cab of an 18-wheeler. Egrets spear minnows in the streets.
Standing in the goop, I pull out my cell phone and call Sequoia. A groggy Lawrence answers the phone and says she's asleep. It's noon. I tell him I need to return to Houston, so if she wants her clothes, now's the time. He puts her on the phone. She groans, "Huh?" And the line goes dead. I call back. She mumbles something and cuts out again. I chalk it up to New Orleans's spotty cell phone reception and redial. I get voice-mail and leave an urgent message.
Seven hours later, I'm climbing out of my car in Houston when Sequoia calls. Can I get her clothes? As patiently as possible, I explain that I'm back in Houston. Then I tell her about the Lower Ninth Ward. "Houses were in the streets, and everything was covered in mud," I say. "It was crazy. But they're starting to let people back in again."
"Oh, okay," Sequoia says. And she hangs up on me.
Nearly two months after the first evacuees arrived from New Orleans, my love for them has been quickly fading. Houston's poor complain that evacuees are taking away beds in shelters, sucking up donated supplies and driving up housing costs. But my gripe is more personal: My efforts to help the evacuees have been met with, at best, indifference and, at worst, contempt.
In the beginning, I felt good about myself, and about the people I thought I was helping. I hopped on a Metro rail packed with exhausted evacuees clutching Wal-Mart bags and rode to the Astrodome one evening in September to volunteer. Officials were so overwhelmed with eager workers that they were turning people away. Outside the Dome that night on the grass, I sat down next to Marvin Clay, who said he'd run out of food, escaped from his apartment building in a boat with his neighbors, floated past 13 dead bodies, an alligator and a shark and camped on a bridge for a night until a bus picked him up. "We got to look out for each other," he said. "We all we got."
I gave Clay's friends my number, asked them to call me, and never heard from them again.
Over the next week at the Astrodome, I talked to five groups of young men. Some wanted help. Broderic Mack and Antonio Green had escaped from their houses with a man in a boat, joined in the rescue efforts and bounced from a school to the Superdome to Reliant Center, where they met Reginald Cheneau. "We just trying to hang out and make a better life," Cheneau said. I later talked to the men over the phone and set up a time to meet them and take them to an employment agency.
But they never showed up for the meeting or called again.
Some evacuees were openly hostile. A group of young men sitting outside Reliant Center one night taunted that New Orleans would take over Houston. One insisted that he'd talk to me only if I gave him money. Another confessed to shooting a cop, adding that he'd only done it because the officer was about to cap a member of his family. The outside world has a skewed idea of life in the 'hood and after the hurricane, the men said. I offered to tell their story and to help them get oriented in Houston. They said they'd call me. They never did.
I visited the George R. Brown Convention Center a few days later and talked to Cornell Ridgley, Barron Bowie Sr. and Darren Clark, making the same offers to help them look for jobs and housing. Clark was sloshed on Mad Dog 20/20, pissed at the president for flooding his city and feeling pretty warm toward the local thugs. "We got enemies in here," he said, gesturing around, "but right now we are standing together. We don't got time for that [gang warfare stuff]. We lost too much."
"All of us folk don't have shit," he added. "And they took what we had."
Clark promised to call the next day. "I'll tell you the same thing sober," he said.
He never called.
I had begun wondering if, despite their assertions, anybody at all from New Orleans actually wanted or needed help, especially from me. Then the phone rang a few days later. It was Ridgley. He had no idea where Clark and Bowie were, but could I take him to sign a lease on an apartment and pick up some stuff at Wal-Mart?
I told him I'd meet him at the downtown Hilton.
I pulled up a few hours later and he wasn't there.
Why did so many people blow me off? Reluctant to think the worst -- that the poor of New Orleans are mostly deadbeats -- I sought advice.
Howard Karger is a professor of social policy at the University of Houston Graduate School of Social Work. Listening to my horror stories, he paused for a moment and chuckled. "Welcome to the world of poor people," he said.
Karger feels that society has idealized the evacuees. In reality, the middle-class expectation that charity will be met with gratitude and reciprocity from the poor often doesn't hold true. He mentioned Sequoia, the woman who hung up on me. "The whole life of poor people is very day-to-day," he said. "And that day," her clothes "weren't very important to her."
The ghetto operates under "a different set of values," Karger said. "And I think the important thing is that people accept them on their own terms."
Those terms are especially uncertain right now, when evacuees can be suffering from exhaustion, post-traumatic stress disorder, the confusion of being in a new environment (sometimes for the very first time) and what Karger describes as "volunteeritis" -- the state of being overloaded with too many offers to help.
Still, many academics agree that a lot of low-income people may never respond to opportunities to help themselves -- even when overtures seem generous. "I think that by the time someone is 30, there is nothing we know how to do," says Douglas Besharov, a poverty researcher with the American Enterprise Institute. "And therefore, I am one of those who says that we need to prevent this from happening by doing a better job in elementary and high school."
Ultimately, only one of the dozens of evacuees I'd met over a month of interviews followed through.
After I sat in my car for five minutes at the Hilton, Cornell Ridgley, the man who had asked me to help him run errands, miraculously appeared with his wife and his stepson's girlfriend. I drove them to an apartment building and Wal-Mart, where they used a FEMA card to buy clothes. By the end of the day, they were exhausted and appreciative. Ridgley's wife even offered to cook me a Creole meal once they moved into their new home.
Yet after calling me three weeks ago to thank me for sending him job postings, Ridgley has fallen out of touch. The Creole meal hasn't happened. And he hasn't delivered on a promise to introduce me to younger evacuees such as his stepson.
Still, I can't entirely give up on the notion that he'll call. "Don't worry, man," he'd said on his cell phone. "I'm gonna get back to you."

Why did I bleed after intercourse?
There are many possible reasons for bleeding after intercourse. There could be a small tear or injury. There could be an infection that causes the vaginal or cervical surface to be inflamed and bleed easily when touched. There could be a small growth, such as a polyp, that has an inflamed surface. Or there could be an abnormal growth on the cervix called dysplasia that can be a precursor of cervical cancer.
If you only bled once, it was a small amount, and it stopped quickly, it is probably not serious. But you should have a pelvic examination to be sure that you do not have a condition such as an infection that should be treated.

products. Do see HDS benefiting from InSpeed integration?
For those of you unfamiliar with what Inspeed is, it is crossbar switch-based architecture that uses proprietary loop port logic for device connectivity. It can be implemented all the way down to a single ASIC (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) that can provide a "storage switch on a chip". Used internally in storage arrays, this technology may increase connectivity and throughput to Fibre-based disks.
Hitachi has been using similar crossbar switching technology inside the storage arrays since the inception of the Lightning product architecture. Inspeed has some cool capabilities that may be of use for other vendors to catch up. I think it may be advantageous for other storage vendors to follow suit with switch-based architecture, as the scalability of that design is usually better than existing bus-based designs. You will find that similar technology is also being used in server designs in order to scale multi-processor based servers using non-blocking crossbar switches internally. Such designs can be seen in AlphaServers from HP/Compaq and Starfire/StarCat servers from Sun. Using scalable switching servers with InfiniBand or similar I/O methods connected to a switched fabric storage network, which in turn is connected to scalable crossbar switch-based storage, produces a very capable "stack" for data access and processing.
If you read my tip on where I think the industry is heading (Part I, Part II, Part III), you will see that I agree that this is where I think the computer industry, in general, is headed.
