Breach of confidentiality has been committed by some members of the Supreme Court (SC) en banc against Supreme Court Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno.
This statement comes from one of Sereno's spokespersons Josa Deinla.
Deinla is reacting to reports that the real reason why Sereno is going on an indefinite leave is because her fellow justices forced her to do it.
"We are saddened by the fact that the confidentiality of the en banc sessions has been breached," Deinla said.
There are reports the magistrates even conducted voting on this matter and that majority of the justices had wanted Sereno to take an indefinite leave.
This is pending the impeachment hearings against Sereno in the House of Representatives.
House Justice Committee Chairperson Reynaldo Umali says, he received text messages from two justices telling him about Sereno's leave.
The chief justice will take a break beginning tomorrow.
Sereno's counsel, Attorney Jojo Lacanilao, initially said his client was going on a "wellness" leave.
This will last for 15 days.
This was supposedly so that she can prepare for an expected impeachment trial.
Umali, however, said the true reason for the vacation is because the other justices had compelled Sereno to take an indefinite break.

Supreme Court (SC) Chief Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno is taking an indefinite leave.
This is what is contained in her leave form submitted to SC Clerk of Court.
Sereno is availing of her wellness leave, which is a 15-day vacation for justices.
It is not stated when Sereno will be back for work.
Her counsel, Attorney Jojo Lacanilao, says the chief magistrate will use the period to prepare for the impeachment trial in the Senate which she already expects.
Lacanilao stresses, the leave will not end in a resignation.
House Justice Committee Chairman and Oriental Mindoro Representative Reynaldo Umali says, the committee members will cast their votes on March 7.
This is to determine whether or not there is probable cause to impeach Sereno.
Should the panel uphold the impeachment, Umali eyes the third week of March as the period for submission of the committee report to the plenary
CHIEF Justice Maria Lourdes Sereno announced Tuesday she would go on indefinite leave after her colleagues in the Supreme Court asked her to resign and confronted her about issues raised against her in the impeachment hearings at the House of Representatives.
Court insiders said there was a confrontation in the en banc session in which some of the justices questioned her eligibility for the position following revelations that she failed to submit all her Statements of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth as required by the Judicial and Bar Council before her appointment in 2012.
"She was asked to resign. One of the justices even dared her to submit their resignation together," one court insider said.
Sereno refused to resign and instead said she was willing to take a wellness or vacation leave while the Senate finished her impeachment trial.
Most of the justices, however, rejected Sereno's offer and held an executive session without her to discuss her case.
Sereno then asked to meet with two of the most senior members of the Supreme Court, Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio and Associate Justice Presbitero Velasco Jr.
"After the meeting, she announced that she will take an indefinite leave," one source said.
Sereno's spokespersons, however, later announced that the chief justice was merely taking a "wellness leave" from March 1 to 15 and denied reports that she was forced to go on indefinite leave.w
"The chief justice is going on a wellness leave, something she has filed for long before. It was supposed to be from March 12 to 23, but it will now be from March 1 to 15," said Jojo Lacanilao, one of Sereno's spokespersons.
"The leave is her personal decision. There's nothing to show based on records that she was forced to take a leave," he added.
But another spokesperson, Josa Deinla, said it was "lamentable how sessions [in the Supreme Court] are no longer confidential," giving credence to reports of the confrontation.
Sereno's decision to go on leave came on the last day of hearings at the House on the impeachment complaint filed against her by lawyer Lorenzo Gadon.
She also made the decision after an open letter from "concerned officials and personnel of the Supreme Court" calling for her immediate resignation circulated in the Supreme Court Monday.
The unsigned letter specifically called on Sereno to resign "considering the evidence revealed and testimonies given during the impeachment hearings."
"We hereby manifest our loss of trust, faith and confidence in Your Honor, Chief Justice Sereno, and call on your honor to resign now from your honor's position as chief justice of the Supreme Court," part of the three-page letter said.
"We can and will no longer remain silent as the institution falls deeper into disrepute with each passing day and our officers and personnel pitted against one another, as a consequence of your honor's actions and indiscretions," it added.
Last week, the justices tackled the SALN issue against Sereno and decided in session to require her and regular members and officers of the Judicial and Bar Council to answer the letter.
Also covered by the order were JBC members Jose Mejia and Ma. Milagros Fernan-Cayosa, former members retired Justices Aurora Lagman and Regino Hermosisima Jr., executive officer Annaliza Ty-Capacite, and former chief of office of selection and nomination, now Judge Richard Pascual.
In its two-page letter, the House justice committee asked the Court to take "appropriate action" on the preliminary finding in the impeachment proceedings that Sereno supposedly did not comply with the 10-year SALN requirements for her chief justice application.
Among the documents forwarded to the Court were certifications issued by the University of the Philippines and the Office of the Ombudsman showing that Sereno only filed SALNs in 2009, 2010 and 2011 before to her appointment as chief justice.
The letter was addressed to Senior Associate Justice Antonio Carpio and other associate justices of the Court.
In their earlier testimonies before the House panel, Associate Justices Diosdado Peralta and Teresita Leonardo-De Castro assailed Sereno for her failure to meet the documentary requirement during her application for the chief justice post to replace ousted Chief Justice Renato Corona.
Peralta said this development puts into question the legitimacy of Sereno's appointment as chief justice, which he said could be considered "void from the start."
De Castro said it was "great injustice" to other nominees for the chief justice post knowing that the one appointed by then President Benigno Aquino III was actually not qualified due to incomplete requirements.
De Castro even suggested that the JBC regular members could be held liable for violation of the Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act for including Sereno in the shortlist for the Court's vacancy.
A Palace spokesman said they were confident Sereno's leave would not affect the day-to-day operations of the Court.
"As the chief justice takes her wellness leave, we hope she would take this as an opportunity to reflect on her time and legacy at the Supreme Court and to consider what would be best for the institution which she heads as top magistrate," Presidential Spokesman Harry Roque said.
Senator Panfilo Lacson said he saw nothing irregular about Sereno's decision to go on leave, and said she could use the time to prepare for her defense for the impeachment trial at the Senate, which he said was almost inevitable.
Senator Paolo Benigno Aquino IV said a leave is a personal prerogative, and said it was difficult to talk about Sereno's impeachment case because senators will sit as judges if her impeachment trial pushes through.
Senate Minority Leader Franklin Drilon said that as a lawyer and a former secretary of justice, he was saddened by what is happening in the Supreme Court, with all the rumblings and the infighting.
"I don't feel good about this. I feel sad at the state of things; the fight between the justices becomes part of the public domain," he said.
Drilon said he has been a lawyer for almost 50 years and this is the first time that he witnessed this kind of discord in the Supreme Court.
"I'm sure like any organization, there are intrigues, but it's always been kept under wraps," he said.
Senator Antonio Trillanes IV said Sereno went on leave and did not resign, so "there's no political victory yet" for the administration, which has been vocal about her ouster.
Senate President Aquilino Pimentel III cautioned against reading too much into Sereno's decision to go on leave.
Pimentel has already approved the ordering of robes to be worn by the senator-judges, and directed the Senate lawyers to finalize the rules of the impeachment trial.
The chairman of the House committee on justice dismissed as "lies" the claim that Sereno went on a "wellness leave" and said it was the Supreme Court en banc that compelled her to go on leave.
"This is a blatant lie; [the camp of Sereno] is peddling lies. The supposed wellness leave is an indefinite leave," Umali said during Tuesday's impeachment hearing. "Majority, if not all of en banc, forced her to go on leave."
"We are fed up with lies. We are fed up with deception," Umali added.
The panel on Tuesday ordered the JBC here to submit the psychological evaluation conducted on Sereno when she applied for the post on pain of possible contempt citation if they fail to do so.
At the resumption of the impeachment hearings, Umali issued the the directive after JBC member and lawyer Maria Milagros Fernan-Cayosa said the JBC rules have always treated as "strictly confidential" the results of the psychological evaluation of applicants to a judicial post.
The House justice panel threatened to cite in contempt the JBC members should they fail to submit copies of psychological and psychiatric test results of Sereno when she was applying for the post in 2012.
Umali said that as a "constitutional body," the impeachment panel has the power to compel the production of evidence after JBC officials stonewalled on the submission of the documents, saying that the matter was also before the Supreme Court.
"This is now the impeachment committee issuing this directive requiring you to submit [those records]. …. Please comply lest we would be constrained to cite the members of the council in contempt if you fail to heed this request by this impeachment committee," Umali said.
He added that when Sereno allowed herself to be subjected to psychological evaluation as a requirement of the JBC for all applicants to judicial posts, she was not actually a patient and thus was not covered by any doctor-patient confidentiality rule.
Two of the psychiatrists who conducted the psychological tests on Sereno, Dr. Genuina Ranoy and Dr. Dulce Lizza Sahagun, said they do not have a copy of the results of the test they did on Sereno.
"We do not keep any copy of evaluation reports that we did when we were in the Judicial and Bar Council," Ranoy said.
At the same hearing, a top official of the Bureau of Internal Revenue said Sereno posted an estimated P2.014 million in tax liabilities from 2004 to 2009.
Based on the preliminary findings of the BIR, Internal Revenue Deputy Commissioner Arnel Guballa told the committee that the alleged basic deficiency taxes stemmed from Sereno's supposed under-declarations in her earnings as government counsel in arbitration proceedings against the Philippine International Air Terminals Co. Inc., builder of the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Terminal 3. The BIR said Sereno earned over P32.49 million in lawyer's fees for her work in the Piatco.
Guballa said the chief justice could have violated the Tax Code six times, saying the tax liabilities amounted to P2 million including interest and surcharges. With Vito Barcelo

Jolt Awards 2013: The Best Programmer Libraries, March 26, 2013 The best programmer libraries of the past year
Finalist: Combit List & Label 18
If you're looking for a powerful and intuitive list and label report generator, but don't need the cost or complexity of Crystal Reports, Combit's List & Label 18 is ideal for .NET, C++, and Delphi developers. In addition to List & Label's support for a wide variety of reports, charts, gauges, labels, and more than 50 types of barcode formats, it spans a broad range of reporting needs. And unlike other Windows-centric reporting solutions, List & Label doesn't need to install additional end-user database drivers. As such, its redistribution package is roughly 30 MB in size, making it amazingly lightweight in what has been an application category traditionally accompanied by bulky dependencies. List & Label's Report Designer is presented almost in logical IDE-style fashion, making the creation of new reports a mostly drag-and-drop affair. Combit has also dialed up printing performance in this release, with well over 50% speed improvement from prior releases. Our only hesitation is a pricing model based on per-employee billing (regardless of whether the employees actually use the software), rather than the more conventional per developer or per user pricing.

Here's how phone payments work:
EIP (Equipment Installment Plan) pricing allows qualifying customers to get a new phone with an initial down payment and make monthly payments on the phone for 20 months with no interest charges. For example, if you purchased a new phone for $550 and put $150 down, you pay $20/month for 20 months, plus the low monthly cost of your Value Plan. Value Plan pricing is only available at T-Mobile.
The following restrictions apply to all EIPs:
T-Mobile customers who purchase a new iPhone or iPad will enjoy the following benefits of AppleCare Services:
Depending on which rate plan you choose, you may also be charged an add a line fee; see rate plan for details. Taxes and shipping will also be applied to your order total.
Whether you choose to pay for your device up front today, or pay over time, you can upgrade your device at any time. If your current device has not yet been paid off, you will need to continue to make payments on the existing balance. For the well-qualified buyer, pay over time pricing will spread interest-free payments over 24 months. If you cancel wireless service, remaining balance on device becomes due.
You need a credit check for a couple of reasons. First, if you are applying for an Equipment Installment Plan (EIP) it's standard practice for us to check your credit. If you want to keep your existing phone number we need to determine if it's eligible to be transferred.
Just like all other wireless carriers, T-Mobile has to charge enough to cover the cost of the phone. The difference is that T-Mobile separates the cost of the phone from the cost of the service. That means T-Mobile customers finish paying for their phone as soon the actual cost is paid off—and their monthly bill automatically drops.
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA) is a public safety system that enables authorized agencies to send text-like messages to consumers with capable wireless devices to alert them of emergencies in their area. Learn more about WEA and whether your device is capable of receiving alerts.

Here in Cleburne County, with our high ratio of senior citizens we want to keep our 'Independence' in yet another important way. We look at staying on our own, being the caption of our own life, so to speak—for just as long as possible.
The 4th of July is Independence Day, celebrating the signing of the Declaration of Independence of 1776. As Americans, many families and friends celebrate Independence Day with Bar-B-Q's, picnic's, fireworks and many other types of enjoyable outside activities.
Here in Cleburne County, with our high ratio of senior citizens we want to keep our 'Independence' in yet another important way. We look at staying on our own, being the caption of our own life, so to speak—for just as long as possible. Yes, we love our own continued independence.
How can we keep Our Independence?
Barring an accident or a debilitating disease, we can be independent by means of a healthy recipe of life. Nutrition, of course is an important part of that recipe, but apart from nutrition is this aspect—Strength Training.
We need to engage in some type of strength training. Exercise is important in keeping us strong. Stressing our muscles enough to keep them strengthened is even more important in our later years than it was when we were younger.
The statistics show us that you can build muscle at any age. I have worked with people in a long term setting. Some patients were in wheelchairs because of weakness, not because of being crippled by a disability. Yet they were able to rebuild muscles well into their 90's. (I never worked with someone in his 100's.)
To share an example with you, I read this past week-end about a 91 year old weight lifter who is a champion in the World Association of Benchers and Dead Lifters. I thought what a fantastic role model for senior citizens! If his muscles can be strengthened, so can ours.
Now, it is up to you if you decide to become a weight lifting champion or not, but, anyone can become strong enough to stay Independent, by doing regular strength training. Of course it will take a little effort, but this is effort that is well worth it.
Strength training or resistance training regularly can help us to keep strong, building up our muscles as well as our bones. It is important to ensure enough energy to keep us independent for a long time.
It has also been noted that strength training or exercise can help reduce the effects of many chronic conditions and health issues. Please check out the myriad of benefits exercise has on health problems.
One study of 40 competitive runners, cyclists and swimmers, ranging in age from 40 to 81, found no evidence of muscle deterioration -- the athletes in their 70s and 80s had almost as much thigh muscle mass as the athletes in their 40s.1
Ok I am convinced—how should I begin my program?
As a senior, it would be a good idea to get a workout buddy. Actually, that is a good idea for anyone at any age.
Another sensible idea, for seniors as well as the rest of us, would be to begin slowly, and build up gradually. You certainly do not need to injure yourself or your muscles. Be sensible and use caution.
With our summer heat, if you train outside, do it early or late when it is cooler, and be sure to be well hydrated.
Then, work out doing what you really enjoy. Vary it for you're your enjoyment and to vary the muscles used.
What to do if you are dead set against exercise?
Dr. Joan Vernikos, in her book "Sitting Kills, Moving Heals suggests people get up and move as often as possible. That is one way to use your own body as you weight train. Just get up --raise the body and move some each hour. I've even been told that some doctors recommend you getting up and walking during each commercial while watching TV.
Another great way of strength training is using a rebounder. (Looks like a mini-trampoline.) It again raises the body as a weight. How it works is, it stresses and strengthens each and every cell in the entire body at the exact same time, and it works very well at keeping a healthy body strong.
Jack LaLanne was a fantastic role model for seniors and for all of us. He kept fit his entire life. We lost him at age 96 due to pneumonia. Check out his fit lifestyle at: www.squidoo.com/icon-Jack-Lalanne.
And remember this, it doesn't matter what you do. Just do what you enjoy, so you will stick with it. Continuing to be active is most important.
No matter your current level of fitness, make sure you keep moving to keep your Independence.
You and those you love will be happy you did.

Crunch's implementation of
top is efficient because it prunes results in the map to ensure that the minimum set of intermediate data is sent over the shuffle. More importantly, this example hints at the fact that Crunch operations are composable. That is,
top works with any
PTable at any stage in the pipeline. Contrast this to MapReduce, where reusable, composable libraries are not common (in Hadoop itself,
ChainMapper and
ChainReducer allow mappers and reducers to be chained together, but they are awkward to use and only work in the context of a single job).
The final part of the Crunch program writes the final result to the output directory specified by
writeTextFile(topk, args[1]); run();
run() method executes the entire pipeline that we constructed. I can run the Crunch pipeline in a similar way to the way we ran the MapReduce job:
% $HADOOP_HOME/bin/hadoop jar target/hadoop-drdobbs-1.0.0-job.jar com.tom_e_white.drdobbs.crunch.TopK data outputc 10 % cat outputc/part-r-00000 [doctor,5327002] [dobbs,114]
Running the pipeline over the full dataset on a cluster reveals the top words (excluding punctuation) in the book dataset are
in, and
% hadoop jar target/hadoop-drdobbs-1.0.0-job.jar com.tom_e_white.drdobbs.crunch.TopK data outputc 10 % hadoop fs -cat outputc/part-r-00000 [",21396850115] [the,18399669358] [.,16834514285] [of,12042045526] [and,8588851162] [to,7305545226] [in,5956669421] [a,5422911334] ["""",3312106937] [-,3285590930]
Anatomy of a Hadoop Cluster
Let's turn now to running these tools on real Hadoop clusters. What does a typical Hadoop cluster look like? For a small Hadoop cluster consisting of a few machines, the answer is typically similar to Figure 1.
Figure 1: A typical small Hadoop cluster.
A single master machine (top) runs the HDFS
namenode and secondary
namenode, as well as the MapReduce
jobtracker. The remaining machines run HDFS
datanodes and MapReduce
tasktrackers. Each of these processes is a Java daemon, with the following responsibilities:
- The HDFS
namenodemanages the filesystem namespace for the cluster. Information about the filesystem tree and metadata for all the files is stored in memory and persistently on disk in two files: the namespace image and the edits log.
- The HDFS secondary
namenoderuns a periodic checkpointing function to generate a new namespace image so that the edits logs don't become too large. Note that the secondary
namenodedoes not adequately guard against failure of the primary. For that, HDFS has to be set up to run in a high-availabilty configuration (to be discussed shortly).
datanodesare responsible for storing and retrieving blocks (fixed-size chunks of files, typically 128 MB).
Datanodessend periodic heartbeats to the
namenodeto report the list of blocks that they are managing, and carry out the
namenode's instructions (sent in the heartbeat reply), such as replicate blocks to other
datanodesor delete old blocks.
- The MapReduce
jobtrackermanages all the jobs that have been submitted to the cluster. It is responsible for scheduling the jobs according to the cluster policy. The
jobtrackerarchives completed jobs and makes details about them available to clients that may ask for logs or other information about job runs.
- MapReduce
tasktrackersrun the map and reduce tasks on behalf of clients. Each
tasktrackerperiodically sends heartbeats to the
jobtrackerindicating whether it is ready to run a new task (each
tasktrackerhas a preconfigured number of slots that it can run tasks in). If ready, then the
jobtrackerwill allocate it a task. Tasks are run in a new JVM for isolation.
Tasktrackersalso run a HTTP server to serve map outputs to reduce tasks in the shuffle phase of MapReduce.
On a larger cluster, the master roles are run on separate machines because memory capacity of the master is usually the limiting factor (memory usage by the master daemons is a function of cluster size and usage). Also, by separating roles, hardware failures have less of an impact. That being said, as described so far, the
namenode is a Single Point of Failure (SPOF) in Hadoop. This SPOF can be avoided by running two
namenodes in active-standby configuration, so that if one fails, the other can take over as the active node and clients can continue to read and write data without interruption. Such a high-availability (HA) configuration also requires a
ZooKeeper ensemble (typically three nodes), which elects the active
namenode, and a shared storage service such as a set of journal nodes to store the edits log.
With HA, the complexity of the cluster is increased, but many real-world clusters actually run a variety of extra services in addition. For example, Figure 2 shows a cluster running Hive, HBase, Flume, and Oozie services, in addition to HDFS and MapReduce. (Note that Pig and Sqoop do not appear because they do not have a cluster component they are both client-side programs.)
Figure 2: A larger Hadoop cluster.
While running a small cluster with just a few services is feasible using manual scripts, when it comes to a larger cluster like the one in Figure 2, dedicated cluster management software such as Apache Ambari or Cloudera Manager is a must.
Data Application Pipelines
We've seen in detail some of the different ways to run queries on data in Hadoop. In any real-world Hadoop application, there are wider questions, such as how does data enter the system and how are production jobs run? There is no single answer to these questions, but some patterns have emerged as Hadoop has become more mainstream.
For data sources that produce real-time events, like sensor data or transaction logs, a typical data pipeline is shown in Figure 3:
Figure 2: A Hadoop pipeline for real-time events.
Flume agents collect and aggregate the events and send them to HDFS, then on a periodic basis Oozie triggers Hive jobs to produce reports, or to transform the data for further downstream analysis. This pattern is explored in depth in the article Analyzing Twitter Data with Apache Hadoop by Jon Natkins.
For online data in a relational database, Hadoop performs some traditional ETL tasks (using Sqoop, Oozie, and a tool like Pig, Hive, Cascading, or Crunch for transformation). In addition, it provides ad hoc query access to the original data. Note that Hadoop complements existing BI tools: Traditional data marts still have a role for rich business analytics over recent or high-value data that is the output of the ETL process. Such a pipeline is illustrated in Figure 4.
Figure 4: A Hadoop pipeline for a data mart.
For a more detailed discussion of Hadoop's role in BI systems, I recommend the article Big Data's New Use Cases: Transformation, Active Archive, and Exploration by Amr Awadallah.
Where To Go From Here
As illustrated in this series, there are lots of different ways to get started with Hadoop. The easiest is to download a Hadoop VM and try out some of the tools on a single node. The next step is to try a multi-node cluster to get a feel for processing larger datasets. These days, there are many freely downloadable open datasets that are helpful. The list curated by Hilary Mason is a great starting point. After that, you might build a more complex Hadoop application pipeline using tools such as Flume, Sqoop, and Oozie to round out the overall data flow. You'll soon find that processing large datasets is made considerably simpler by using Hadoop. Enjoy!

Phiaton recently unleashed the latest addition to its Moderna series of headphones, the MS200. As part of the Moderna series, these in-ears sport a carbon-fiber exterior and Phiaton's bright red accents on the ear tips and cable. Flashy? Yes. But we've grown to like it.
The MS200 don't skimp on features, build quality or accessories. Phiaton packs with the MS200 a cylindrical carrying case, four pairs of standard silicone eartips, a new "RightFit" silicone eartip, and a pair of Comply foam tips. All that is to say: It's a pretty good bet you'll find a set of eartips that suit you. If not, you might want to consider getting your ears checked. The MS200 also sport Phiaton's three-button in-line microphone – a design we've found works very well.
We've been evaluating the MS200 in anticipation of our formal review, and while we're going to keep the really good stuff to ourselves for now, we can say that we are very pleased with their performance.
Now for the good news: We're giving away a pair of the MS200 to one lucky winner. All you have to do is leave a comment below telling us what you currently use for an in-ear headphone and why you'd like to switch to the MS200. The contest ends on Saturday, December 1 and we'll announce the winner on December 3.
Good luck and get commenting!

In response to Sue Perkins' Feb.13 letter, "Police part of nuisance," the Pennsylvania driver manual, "Chapter 2 — Signals, Signs and Pavement Markings," page 22, in bold print just above the pictures of lane markers, says, and I quote: "As a general rule, broken traffic lines can be crossed and solid lines cannot, except when making a turn."
As for wasting a green light, perhaps Perkins should leave 10 minutes earlier so she has time to be patient with other drivers, instead of being rude by blowing her horn.
The police officer and other motorists are well within their rights and the law to turn across a double yellow line. It does not need to be an emergency, and they do not even need to want fuel for their vehicle for them to turn.
It is hard to respond to anyone as in a hurry and rude as Perkins seems to be, but others need to know the correct information — not what Perkins wrote.

Range Rover Evoque
On the inside, Range Rover's new, brand-bolstering Evoque is surprisingly spacious in the seating department and capable in performance, despite its four-cylinder engine and modest footprint (16 inches shorter and more than 1,600 pounds lighter than a Range Rover Sport). The interior trim is worthy of the marque, too, but the vehicle's hatchback area offers limited baggage space. The verdict on its styling and name probably depends on the age of the juror, and the traditional Range Rover buyer might regard this new interpretation as more suitable for a daughter. The Evoque has neither the avoirdupois pounds nor the old-money gravitas of its forebears, and that is all part of the plan for broadening the appeal and affordability of the brand and therefore fattening its production numbers.
The North American press launch of the vehicle was evidence that the faraway Indian owners of Jaguar Land Rover are no party poopers. The venue was Vancouver, B.C., and the clear themes were "surprising" and "go anywhere." For example, after hoodwinking the assembled scribes in the lobby of the harborside hotel that, to avoid traffic congestion, we would travel on water taxis north across the harbor to the vehicles, our hosts had the aquacabs rendezvous with a barge mid-harbor carrying 11 Evoques, to which we were transferred and, amphibious-assault style, deposited ashore to clamber up a ramp of damp logs leading to a specially built obstacle course beside the water.
From there we drove north on the Sea-to-Sky Highway to Whistler-Blackcomb Mountain and, up suitably challenging trails, to the snow-covered top of its ski resort. As the day concluded and we headed back down the mountain, our hosts redeployed the hoodwink, directing us to turn right out of Whistler away from Vancouver and proceed a short distance north to the golf resort, allegedly for a driver swap. Instead we were led onto the lakeside resort's dock to board a Whistler Air DHC-3T Otter floatplane for the flight back to the hotel.
The degree of thought put into the press launch mirrored the amount of consideration that has gone into the Evoque, a vehicle tasked with preserving the appeal of a traditional Range Rover while expanding the marque and also hoisting the company's corporate average fuel economy (Cafe) ratings. When I first took the driver's seat, I was skeptical about whether Land Rover had pulled it off, but the doubts dispelled through the day as this capable vehicle proved worthy of its stable with each vanquished obstacle.
Compared with its heftier siblings (which have a unitized body bolted to a ladder frame), the Evoque is all unitized (monocoque body, no ladder frame) and has four of their five off-road dynamic modes; the Evoque lacks only rock crawl. Its 240-hp turbocharged four-cylinder engine is well up to the job of propelling the vehicle on or off road, and the terrain on the press-launch route was demanding.
The harborside course included steep mud slopes up and down, and the Evoque's hill descent control kept the tires gripping when every instinct told the driver to expect a slide to the bottom at whatever angle the physics and sure-to-vanish grip would soon dish up. On the Whistler segment there were more impressive ascent and descent angles on muddy gravel, again handled with aplomb. Transverse channels of water erosion across the mountain trails, tackled obliquely so as not to dig the Evoque's prow into the upslope beyond the valley, tested the rigidity of the body and its 8.5 inches of ground clearance (just 0.4 inches less than that of a Range Rover Sport elevated for off-road duty) as the vehicle straddled the gulley, teetering on diagonally opposite tires.
Again, the Evoque tackled these tasks with no creaks, groans or fuss, its off-road abilities somehow at odds with its chic sheet metal. The Evoque might not be quite the mountain goat its older brethren are, but it has serious clambering and slogging skills. In reality, of course, most Evoques will never venture off the blacktop, and getting to the grocery store and back in the snow will be their most hazardous duty.
Range Rover's reputation for vehicle reliability has been less than stellar in years past, and the company has been flogging the Evoque hard to see how it squeals. Among the punishment, according to the manufacturer: 5,000 miles at full speed and nonstop on Germany's Nurburgring with a racecar driver at the wheel; a month on the sands, dirt roads and intense heat of the Middle East; and "our infamous off-road test cycle in the UK, encompassing thousands of miles through the deep mud and clay of the Land Rover test center at Eastnor Castle proving grounds, the MIRA and Gaydon durability circuits, and the deep water and ruts of a military proving ground designed to challenge tanks and personnel carriers."
The Evoque comes in an array of choices, with sticker prices from the mid-$40,000s to the mid-$50,000s. You can order a two-door hatchback "coupe" or a four-door hatchback (both with enormous glass roof area, which pulls in the full splendor of trailside trees and skyscapes). The basic equipment provides plenty of creature comforts and gadgets, but add-ons for each body style include 20-inch wheels; 360-degree cameras for wheel placement; adaptive (curve-illuminating)/auto-dimming xenon headlamps; heated windshield, seats and steering wheel; 17-speaker (versus 11 standard) 825-watt surround-sound system; magneto-rheological suspension dampers; and varying degrees of wood, metal and leather trim.
Jaguar, Land Rover and the New World Order
Car enthusiasts are no different from anyone else when the object of their brand loyalty changes hands. They're apt to raise a red flag when the acquiring party is a conglomerate with a dubious track record or a once-obscure nation seeking its slice of global economic action. Aston Martin (Kuwait), Lotus (Malaysia), Saab (pre-bailout GM) and Volvo Cars (China) come to mind.
In 2008 Ford sold Jaguar and Land Rover to India's Tata–more confirmation, for Brits at least, that what Mahatma Gandhi started more than 70 years ago knows no bounds and that the sun has truly set on the empire. Jaguar and Land Rover the pride of India? Whatever next? Some British pundits in '08 were predicting pillage, plunder, layoffs and the same demise that had claimed other venerable British Leyland names such as Rover, MG, Austin, Morris and Triumph.
In fact, progress has dominated the outlook so far. Jaguar has some great cars in showrooms and more in the pipeline. Three years on, in March last year, Jaguar Land Rover announced it would be hiring 1,500 more staff at its (former Ford UK) Halewood plant and signed $3 billion in supplier contracts with UK-based companies to produce the vehicle seen on these pages, the Range Rover Evoque. Last September Jaguar Land Rover said it would be investing $500 million in a new plant in the British Midlands to build four-cylinder gas and diesel engines.
However, this past March, as a five-year agreement with Tata to leave the British workforce in place met the four-year mark, Jaguar Land Rover and China-based carmaker Chery agreed to invest nearly $3 billion in a joint venture to build Jaguar and Land Rover engines and vehicles in China for the Chinese market–a common strategy these days for car manufacturers and now for airplane builders, as Cessna demonstrated earlier this year with agreements for Chinese manufacture of the Sovereign and Latitude business jets and the Caravan utility turboprop single for sale in that country. Jaguar Land Rover and Cessna both say domestic production of vehicles/engines and airplanes will continue. Such is the new world order for the manufacturing industry.
All this boils down to the fact that the quintessentially British Jag and Range Rover, like so many other vehicles and aircraft today, are the creation of the same global industry and finance that is driving sustained demand for large-cabin, long-range business jets.

One big bummer the past few years watching the mobile landscape has been the lack of official Windows Phone numbers from Microsoft. Things like marketshare and the amount of devices sold has been more elusive than Big Foot and the Loch Ness Monster. We're always having to base conclusions on analytics from firms that are often nothing more than speculation – good speculation, but still not official.
That said, here is a new report stating that Windows Phone has surpassed BlackBerry for 3rd place, at least in the US.
The information comes courtesy of Strategy Analytics, an analytics firm that does typical analyst-y things like track, analyze, and forecast markets. They have a report out titled "Microsoft Becomes 3rd Smartphone Platform in US in Q4 2012". Since that report is only available to their clients, the best we can do is quote the summary:
"Microsoft Windows Phone overtook BlackBerry OS to become the third largest smartphone platform in the influential United States market during Q4 2012. It was the first time Microsoft has surpassed Blackberry since 2006. Meanwhile, Android lost share in annual terms for the first time ever. Are we now at "peak Android"? Which hardware vendors dominate the Microsoft and Android smartphone ecosystems today?"
It will be interesting to see how this plays out over 2013. During Q4 Windows Phone 8 had just come out, while BlackBerry had not launched BB10 yet--in that sense, this is hardly a fair comparison. The two will fight for marketshare the rest of the year – but hopefully at the expensive of Android and iOS customers. You already know our thoughts on the matter.
While we would love to give you hard numbers, we don't exactly have $7000 lying around to buy the report from Strategy Analytics. Ok, all joking aside we'll snoop around and try and get some numbers for you.
What do you think? Who will end up in third place this year?

This is the current back, showing where the battery plugs in (central) where the SIM plugs in (middle, lower) and the microSD socket, which is under the SIM socket.
The USB socket is approximately a centimetre to the right of the edge of the void the battery fits in.
The standard back fits snugly to the phone, meaning there is no spare space.
An altered back, that is 5mm or so deeper offers many possibilities, without modifying the core phone at all, and offering users more choices.
Alternatively, a spacer could be made that fits between the phone and the existing back. The user could insert as many spacers as desired to obtain sufficient space. See: Wishlist:ExpansionSpacer
Heavy modification in the case: This requires may be huge modification. I dont know how feasible it is? Moreover the I have created 3D designs for the first time. So please dont look at the dimensions or curves etc. I have forgot to put the stylus. That anyway was not the driving force for me while doing this.
My idea is to use any connector that internally uses USB. Ofcouse the connector will need to be standardized (may be some existing standard can do). The device can be given to the consumer with a dummy module fitted that just gives the mini-usb But possibilities are limitless
-- removable camera -- user may buy the type of camera he wants from several modules -- extra SD card stack -- may be extra battery -- special purpose radios -- mini projector -- projection keyboard -- HDD -- finger print scanner -- smartcard reader -- Wi-Max or any other future tech
here are a few images that i exported from google sketchup (I used the free version, I had tried blender. Its great software but takes time to learn. So for the time being I went to sketchup.
Ideas that do not require any modification of the phone.
- Larger battery, perhaps doubling the existing capacity.
- Flex cable' from the microSD slot, to a full-size SD socket on the right-middle of the edge of the back of the phone (top right on the image).
- flex cable' from the SIM slot, to a double SIM socket on the left-middle of the phone (bottom right on image).
- Stylus' holder
- AA or AAA battery power options.
If the phone offers a mic-in jack, we can add some cool gadgets:
-A cycle-computer's sensors could be jacked into the mic plug
-The signals of a cycle-computer with wireless sensor could be absorbed by a flat antenna on the phone's back
-A magnetic card stripe-reader has already been shown to work over a laptop's mic-in plug. software available
Ideas which require slight modifications of the phone.
- Solar charging: world's first solar-powered mobile. Using a rugged solar cell (maybe a solar foil) and a power regulating circuit the Neo could be powered CO2-neutral. After all, there's plenty of space on the back ;-)
- USB-flex cable: alter the plastics moulding so that the back of the USB socket is accessible, and somehow make a flex cable connectable there.
- Add a USB blanking plug, to blank off the USB port when the expansion back is in use. This brings USB up into the back of the phone.
- Alternative: Let the blanking plug be an actual usb connector and attached to the expansion back. No modification needed and I think it is possible to do in an not to ugly way with a custom connector (bonus, you can't loose the blanking plug).
This adds many possibilities. Add a small 3.6-5V converter, and if it's possible to switch on the voltage status of the D0/D1 lines, to turn these off, and add a USB 1.1 hub chip, this makes for a very, very hackable back.
- Extra storage cards via a ripped off USB multi card reader
- USB-PIO chip - one of many, to give drive for as many LEDs as you want scattered over the back.
- USB wlan key, with the cover ripped off, and the connector removed and soldered straight onto the hub outputs.
- Docking: large contacts on the back, to enable a simple dock, that it just drops into and charges, with static protected USB slave mode port that.
- IRDA', to enable IR keyboards to work, as well as IR enabling remote functionality
With a slightly thicker back, and much more complex mechanics, a slide-out keyboard - for use in landscape mode - would be possible. A larger fold-out keyboard similar to the device in the previous link could also be possible. The keyboard could be stored in the back of the case and unfolded/swiveled/rotated, placing the phone in the preferred orientation. The keyboard does not have to be powered separately since its physically attached and could be a very "low tech" device but add functionality while attached. Possibly include an integrated mini trackball or other selection device to allow control of on screen selection without using a stylus.
A camera would also be an interesting option.
The advantage of the first class of devices is that they requires no engineering on the behalf of FIC, everything is external, and yet the case can be easily swapped by users.
The second type, with USB requires another socket on the board, and some plastics changes, or a much more involved install suitable only for a very few users.
There are many possible special or general purpose backs possible.
A Expansion Device Specification could be created that standardises the type of physical and electrical connections to the phone. The phone could have a back that could have expantion backs that clip onto the current back of the phone. This could even be stackable for smaller add-on devices(until the size of the phone becomes unwieldy) or the add-on device could be exclusively controlled by the phone e.g. Camera with telephoto lenses where the phone controls the camera.
Some basic ideas:
- powered USB hub: 4 AA battery slots, 4 USB sockets
- camera: 4 AA battery slots, camera, external SD slot
- business: 4 AA battery slots, slide out keyboard, wifi
- writer: 4 AA battery slots, fold-out keyboard, 1 USB and 1 VGA socket
- Item tracking: Barcode/RFID reader
- Distance Measurement: Range finder
- Sales: Receipt Printer/Credit card transaction
This probably belongs to: /*Ideas which require major modifications of the phone */ The phone should consist of 1 base unit with:
- VGA touch screen for stylus input and media display - WiFi radio for web browsing and Voip - Bluetooth stereo for MP3 - Power management/Batteries - Buttons -- reset; up-down for volume; ESC/home/clear(non-essential but convenient) - Misc. -- USB/SD flash card slot/mono-speaker(for handfree/navigation)/Vibrator/Finger-print reader
Up to 2 expansion modules, 1 for each end of the base unit with options like:
- GSM or CDMA or HSDPA with built-in SIM/antenna for whatever the local market dictates - GPS module (US/Russia/Galileo) with built-in antenna - WiMax - Extra storage; e.g. 8Gbyte harddisk/flash-disk - Smart-card reader - Or any other un-dreamed-of modules as long as enough of the main-board interface pins are provided
Even without any expansion modules, the base unit is interesting/attractive enough as a mass market personal media player cum communicator. The rest should be left to the local market to decide.
But with GPS and 3G expansion modules added, the whole gizmo will start to look like
Minus the keyboard/camera AND the WM6 OS.
- I guess it should be reorganised, because of hard accessability of microSD card, which should be able to plug in/out quickly. --tolein 18:11, 1 October 2007 (GMT+1)
IMHO, solar back is a good one, maybe a sticky foil with a flat cable add on ;-) ?
I would also like to see slots longside of the GTA02 that would allow a slide on QUERY keyboard connected via the USB port which would have 1. flash-card multi-reader (at least SDA) 2. 4 (+4) AAA power-up (to be thin ;-) ) 3. a full but compact plastic-key QUERY keyboard 4. 2x A-host-USB ports (like for a flash-disk) 5. B-gadget-USB port (like for a PC) and would be able to fold tight with the GTA and make it a palm-top-PC

There is a common thread that runs through all of the terrorist groups throughout the world. Whether they are highly organized or in small hit-and-run groups there is one common thread that link them all. Terrorism from the 9/11 WTC catastrophy to the Philippines, from the Sudan to Thailand, from Chechnya to Spain, from Bosnia to Indonesia, from Israel to Chad, from Yemen to Beirut, there is one common thread. I for one, will not be fool enough to think that this is but a small minority when the majority refuse to condemn these heinous acts of terrorism. The folks who have to live with these persecutions daily are also not fooled. Now what could be that common thread?JoeS
I agree, JoeS.And we're going to have to face facts sooner or later.The Europeans have already let themselves be overrun by those people.We can't count on their help. Even the Brits may chicken out eventually.We better stop letting Muslims into this country.
Just a question. Who are the people who are killing Serbs, burning churches and monasteries in Serbia, and uninating on the ruins? Ethnic Albanians. And what religion are ethnic Albanians, by and large?Let's just look at the facts.And I just realized that this post sounds really polemical. Sorry.
World War III is on its way. I give it 20 years unless the West starts to deal with this issue. Where is our Churchill? The lone voice crying in the wilderness.
We have to prevent this from happening over here, but it may be hard do to a contingent of leftist holdovers from the 60's who are bent on bringing our system down by letting 3rd world people over here that contribute nothing & use our welfare system at a rate of 7 times more than the average american does. Very sad indeed.... :-
This post gave me autism.
Since when has a Hierarch done anything for you? . . .
Apparently you can get the Juice or Power from a certain Icon.
"Muslim women who are veiled can't go anywhere in the Western world without being taunted as being oppressed or being mad (for covering up).
Most Muslims are just like most Christians (ie. laid back) but when you throw in poverty, dictatorial governments (both Muslim, secular, and occupying, you are bound to get some crazy people riled up who will actually blow stuff up.
I don't disagree with you Anastasios. However, you also have to remember that the same was said of the German people before WWII. But that did NOT stop a fanatic like Hitler from coming to power and implementing his program to restore the "dignity" of the German people. At least that is what the masses WANTED to believe -- even though his true plan was evident from his earlier writings and speaches. I see the SAME thing happening in Islam today. How many times do we see hateful writings from Islamic Clerics that are dismissed or excused because they are seen as Moderates! How many more times do we have to bear the silence of "Western Clerics" who refuse to speak out against the hate being taught in the Arab world?It only takes a few charismatic fanatics to loose the devil among the masses.
I am not worried about an invasion. I am worried about something like a fanatical Islamic government comes to power when The President of Pakistan is eventually assassinated and they then have access to nuclear weapons.What do we do when that happens? Do we do a pre-emptive strike like the Israelis? I believe that we would have no CHOICE but to do so.Then you will have WWIII.It is only a matter of time until a scenario like the above occurs. be it nuclear or chemical -- it WILL happen.
You sound like you WANT war and would enjoy killing these people.
That's a stupid statement, Serge. Sorry, but I don't know of any other way to put it. I have a son who is 20 years old. You think I want war?
The US made a HUGE mistake in the 1950's by allowing our enemy to develop a nuclear capability. We should never have let that happen.
Well, I think the pro-war position is stupid. I'm for peace exactly so men like your son don't get killed for no good reason.
IIRC that was Julius and Ethel Rosenberg's fault in the late 1940s (the USSR exploded its first nuke in 1949), not the US.
I am not sure what you are saying here.
All I know is that in Russia atop many of the Church Cupolas there are Crosses above a horizontal crescent. This relates to the explusion of the Tartars and represents the triumpth of Christianity over Islam.
The quote above is racist, IMO. And "very sad indeed".
Indeed, Phil, that was an incredibly racist thing to say. I have lived in overwhelmingly immigrant neighborhoods (usually South American but sometimes Asian) and I have never, ever seen an abuse of welfare by such immigrants. If anything, they work longer and harder than the average white American living in the same neighborhood.You're on thin ice this time buddy. If you are going to make statements about other races you need to back it up with facts. My best friends are Hispanics (all either legal immigrants or born here) and they work harder than many Whites or Blacks.
I find it interesting that United mostly posts length pieces that she (assuming that United is a woman) did not write and that set up strawmen of Christians.
I have seen & heard too many stories from Russian & Romanian friends of mine on how they get away with abuses with our system.
Yes, I agree, Ebor it is interesting that United has chosen to post more of this propaganda complete with the usual sweeping generalizations. This one looks like it was written in the aftermath of 9/11 when feelings were running particularly high and to state that all Muslim women are targeted for abuse is just hysterical. What United needs to address is the reality that Islamic terrorism exists and that a religious justification is being sought for it. Did you see the furore that the former Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, caused by his remarks on Islam recently? He had the audacity to say that the welcome given to Muslims in the west, complete with freedom of worship and the right to build mosques, should be reciprocated to Christians in Islamic countries. There's a summary of his address here.http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/03/26/1079939849867.html?from=storyrhs
And I can take a look in neighborhood and see at least 10 white Americans whose families have been here for generations doing the same thing. It has nothing to do with where someone came from.And I'd like to point out that the largest recipients of welfare in this country are big business who use every single loophole they can to get away with not paying their taxes and abusing every privilege the government offers, whether they (the corporations) need them or not.
Social security: we pay into it.Medicare: yes, welfareStafford loans: i'm payin' my loans back, so that ain't welfareFHA and interest: welfare.
Of course without illegal immigrants our economy would slow down tremendously and of course most illegal immigrants pay taxes they will never see and social security benefits they will never receive due to fake id's.
And I'd like to point out that the largest recipients of welfare in this country are big business who use every single loophole they can to get away with not paying their taxes and abusing every privilege the government offers, whether they (the corporations) need them or not.
I'd say the largest recipients of welfare are the middle class. People like us, from the middle class, rant and rave about *them* receiving welfare when we are 'welfare' recipients. What is social security or Medicare if not welfare? What about stafford loans? What about the FHA and the subsidizing of mortgage interest?
You have to take what Nacho says with a grain of salt. He hears that stuff on those talk radio programs he listens to. They're obsessed with illegal immigrants and "welfare queens." He just doesn't know better.
well sisiters and brothers, i read your replies and as ania said there is nothing about muslims or...problems with muslims in washington dc the capital of "democracy"(peace on you socrates)but in your reply...there is some kind of racism.....that i respect anyway:)well i hope that the USA and the high standard of living countries will remember that there is a continent called africa:children are dying and starving 24 hours a day(chatting online about them 24 hours a day:ironic)well i remember in 1997 when mother thereza died(peace on her)everybody was busy LISTENING TO THE HOMOSEXUAL and the great artist elton john singing a good bye song to lady diana in a CHURCH:)guys don't forget the children all around the worldUNITED FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE"LEBANON"
the holy quran:al maeda:the table spread82:....AND NEAREST AMONG THEM IN LOVE TO BELIEVERS WILT THOU FIND THOSE WHO SAY:WE ARE CHRISTIANS:BECAUSE AMONGST THESE ARE MEN DEVOTED TO LEARNING AND MEN WHO HAVE RENOUNCED THE WORLD,AND THEY ARE NOT ARROGANT.
One person here made what was deemed "racist" remarks. Did you read the posts that objected? More blanket statements it seems.

CITES works by subjecting international trade in specimens of selected species to certain controls. These require that all import, export, re-export and introduction from the sea of species covered by the Convention has to be authorized through a licensing system. ('Re-export' means export of a specimen that was imported.)
The species covered by CITES are listed in three Appendices, according to the degree of protection they need.
Each Party to the Convention must designate one or more Management Authorities in charge of administering the licensing system and one or more Scientific Authorities to advise them on the effects of trade o n the status of the species.
A specimen of a CITES-listed species may be imported into or exported (or re-exported) from a State party to the Convention only if the appropriate document has been obtained and presented for clearance at the port of entry or exit.

Bernie Madoff
On December 11, 2008, Bernard Madoff is arrested at his New York City apartment and charged with masterminding a long-running Ponzi scheme later estimated to involve around $65 billion, making it one of the biggest investment frauds in Wall Street history.
Madoff founded a small trading firm bearing his name in 1960. Two decades later, this firm, which helped revolutionize the way stocks are traded, had grown into one of the largest independent trading operations in the securities industry, and he and his family lived a life of luxury, owning multiple homes, boats and expensive artwork and jewelry. Based on the success of his legitimate operations, Madoff launched an investment-advisory business as part of his firm, and it was this business that by the 1990s had become a Ponzi scheme, in which he paid his earlier investors with funds received from more recent investors. For years, clients of this business were sent account statements showing consistently high and fraudulent returns. Potential new customers clamored for Madoff to invest their money. However, in 2008, with the U.S. economy in crisis, Madoff's financial swindle began to fall apart as his clients took money out faster than he could bring in fresh capital.
On December 10, 2008, Madoff revealed to his brother and two sons, who worked for the legitimate arm of his firm, that his investment-advisory business was a fraud and nearly bankrupt. His sons turned in their father to federal authorities, who arrested him the next day. Madoff was freed on $10 million bail, and placed under 24-hour house arrest at his penthouse on Manhattan's Upper East Side. The fallout from Madoff's scam was widespread: The victims included everyone from his wealthy country-club acquaintances, Hollywood celebrities, banks and hedge funds to universities, charities and ordinary individual investors, some of whom lost their life savings.
Public outrage was further stoked when it was revealed that since the late 1990s a private financial fraud investigator, Harry Markopolos, had repeatedly warned the Securities and Exchange Commission about his suspicion that Madoff was operating a massive investment scam. On March 12, 2009, Madoff pleaded guilty to the 11 felony counts against him, including securities fraud, money laundering and perjury. On June 29th of that same year, a federal district court judge in Manhattan sentenced Madoff to 150 years behind bars, calling his actions "extraordinary evil." Madoff, who is serving his sentence at a Federal Correctional Complex in North Carolina, has maintained that his family members knew nothing about his crimes and although they have faced intense scrutiny, none have been charged with any wrongdoing. Several of Madoff's former employees, including his accountant and chief financial officer, have pleaded guilty in connection with the long-running fraud.

Manuel Noriega
On January 3, 1990, Panamanian dictator Manuel Noriega surrenders to U.S. forces after holing up for 10 days at the Vatican embassy in Panama City. He is arrested and charged with drug trafficking and flown to Miami the following day. Noriega, who was born in Panama in 1938, was a loyal soldier to General Omar Torrijos, who seized power in a 1968 coup.
Under Torrijos, Noriega headed up the notorious G-2 intelligence service, which harassed and terrorized people who criticized the Torrijos regime. Noriega also became a C.I.A. operative, while at the same time getting rich smuggling drugs. In 1981, Omar Torrijos died in a plane crash and after a two-year power struggle, Noriega emerged as general of Panama's military forces. He became the country's de facto leader, fixing presidential elections so he could install his own puppet officials. Noriega's rule was marked by corruption and violence. He also became a double agent, selling American intelligence secrets to Cuba and Eastern European governments. In 1987, when Panamanians organized protests against Noriega and demanded his ouster, he declared a national emergency, shut down radio stations and newspapers and forced his political enemies into exile. That year the U.S. cut off aid to Panama and tried to get Noriega to resign; in 1988, the U.S. began considering the use of military action to put an end to his drug trafficking. Noriega voided the May 1989 presidential election, which included a U.S.-backed candidate, and in December of that year he declared his country to be in a state of war with the United States. Shortly afterward, an American marine was killed by Panamanian soldiers. President George H.W. Bush authorized "Operation Just Cause," and on December 20, 1989, 13,000 U.S. troops were sent to occupy Panama City, along with the 12,000 already there, and seize Noriega. During the invasion, 23 U.S. troops were killed in action and over 300 were wounded. Approximately 450 Panamanian troops were killed; estimates for the number of civilians who died range from several hundred to several thousand, with thousands injured. On July 10, 1992, the former dictator was convicted of drug trafficking, money laundering and racketeering and sentenced to 40 years in prison.

The firm is represented on the OpenJDK project by long-time Java technical lead, Andrew Haley.
With Red Hat Summit in Boston still some way off, the firm is shrouding its plans for the future of Java and of OpenJDK with stock standard promises of better performance among the "usual suspects"; i.e. manageability, functionality, and dynamic scalability for cloud.
Red Hat VP & GM Craig Muzilla explains that his firm has been a leading contributor to the OpenJDK community for more than five years, following an agreement with Sun Microsystems. As such, [Red Hat] and its customers have enjoyed the benefit of a highly optimized, accelerated runtime for Red Hat JBoss Middleware in a Linux environment.
"Red Hat has done well to stand by its decision to continue supporting and investing in Java," said Al Hilwa, program director for IDC's application development software research. "The company's leadership and success as an open source enterprise technology provider gives credibility to its vision for the future of OpenJDK and goal of driving innovation in Java."
NOTE: According to GitHub's language link at, Java continues to be among the most popular languages today, as well as being one of the highest-tagged languages on Stack Overflow.
