KODIAK, Alaska, Dec. 30 (UPI) -- The U.S. Coast Guard said its crews battled rough seas off Alaska Saturday to help a disabled vessel and the oil drilling barge it was towing.
The Coast Guard said in a release on its website that its crews were dealing with 20- to 30-foot waves and 30- to 40-knot winds while assisting the crews of the Royal Dutch Shell drilling barge, the Kulluk, and its support vessel, the Aiviq, near Kodiak.
"The weather on scene is testing the limits of our Coast Guard crews," Rear Adm. Thomas Ostebo, commander 17th District in Juneau, Alaska, said. "The professionalism of our air crews and cutter men and women have prevented the situation from deteriorating further.
"The 17th District is mobilizing all available cutters and aircraft in a layered response to ensure personnel safety for everyone on the disabled vessels and to prevent a potential grounding or environmental damage in the area."
Royal Dutch Shell requested the removal of the crew from the Kulluk, but the weather made the evacuation problematic. Plans to evacuate non-essential personnel from the Kulluk were being made, the Coast Guard said.
The engines on the Aiviq had broken down Thursday, leaving it and the unpowered Kulluk in danger of running aground on the coast of Kodiak Island.
Coast Guard helicopters from Air Station Kodiak delivered engine parts and technicians to the 360-foot Aiviq Friday so repairs to the ship's three engines could be made.
A second Shell support vessel, the Nanuq, hooked a towline to the barge, and both it and the Aiviq were working to keep the Kulluk under control.
The 282-foot Coast Guard Cutter Alex Haley had reached the troubled vessels early Friday and hooked a towline to the Aiviq which was still connected to the Kulluk. However, the heavy seas and high winds, combined with the mass of the Aiviq and Kulluk, caused the Alex Haley's towline to separate and become entangled in the ship's port propeller, forcing the ship to return to Kodiak for its own repairs. The Alex Haley did, however, buy time for the additional rescue options.
"I applaud the can-do spirit of the crew of the Alex Haley," Ostebo said. "They accomplished the nearly impossible given the weather conditions and bought valuable time. Without their efforts the overall situation would be much worse than it is now."
Another Shell vessel, the Guardsman, arrived Friday afternoon and joined with the Aiviq to tow the Kulluk, but it wasn't power enough to overcome the vessels' drift either and by 5:30 a.m. Saturday its towline had failed as well.

With "Sex and the City" official dead in the water, Sarah Jessica Parker is looking to regain her cultural relevance, and the first step in this new quest apparently involves surrounding herself with sexy young bombshells, which, hey, sure, if that's your game...
Christina Hendricks of "Mad Men" fame and Geek Goddess Olivia Munn will join SJP in "I Don't Know How She Does It," reported 24 Frames. The film will be based on Briton Allison Pearson's bestselling novel of the same name about a woman trying to juggle the demands of her career in finance and her family.
Hendricks of course is best known as Joanie from "Mad Men," and has bee slowly trying to move into film, having had a small role in "Life as We Know It."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Munn has worked as a "Daily Show" correspondent and host of "Attack of the Show." She, too, has been transitioning to film, with cameos in "Iron Man 2" and "Date Night." She also released earlier this year "Suck It, Wonder Woman!: The Misadventures of a Hollywood Geek," a collection of essays about all things pop culture and Hollywood.
Also joining the film is Pierce Brosnan, Kelsey Grammer and Seth Meyers, lead writer and "Weekend Update" anchor on "Saturday Night Live."
Of course the action will be moved from London to New York for the film version, which is being directed by Douglas McGrath, the man who helmed and wrote "Infamous," the Truman Capote film that didn't star Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Hats off to Parker on this casting coup, as it virtually guarantees 60% less eye rolling from men whose significant others' declare a desire to see this film.

This is a topic about which I could go on forever. Since the ancient Sumerians, it has been alcohol that has been both the cause of, and solution to all of life's problems, to paraphrase the Simpsons. So what's YOUR poison?
I'm a beer man myself. Preferably something decent, not that cheap stuff. My all time favorite would have to be Young's Oatmeal Stout. Anything by Young's, really. Double Chocolate Stout is OK, but I don't really taste any chocolate. Young's Special London Ale is also good-it has like a spicy, Christmasey flavor. I like just about anything from the British Isles. Those guys know their beer.
This coffee shop I go to all the time serves a pint of Guinness with a shot of espresso, it's called an Irish Bomber. It's VERY relaxing. I like it. Guinness by itself just isn't the same for me anymore.
Lately I've been drinking Arrogant Bastard Ale. Drank a bottle just now, and I'm pretty nicely buzzed, I gotta say! Really strong stuff. It's like 7.2% alcohol... almost like drinking liquor. It costs 5 bucks for a 24oz bottle, but it's worth every penny. It's from America too, which is good to know-anyone who says American beer sucks just needs to shop around-the small independent breweries are where it's at.
If I have to go with cheap beer, I buy Lone Star. We have a saying here in Texas, if you can't find Lone Star, you're in a foreign country! Shiner Bock and Zeigenbock are also good-I prefer to buy Texan if I have to drink domestic. It's good to support a local business.
If I do anything harder than beer, which I rarely do, I like a decent whiskey. Crown Royal or better. Crown and Coke is really good... any whiskey mixed with Coke, for that matter. I've come to the realization that the SOLE purpose of Coca-cola is for mixing with whiskey. Rum and Coke is overrated.

Probably not as much as you might at first think. What you have done is removed the immediate acess to a utility for a particular user or user group. The utility is still there, and they could probably (?) still run it using a different route.One of my main concerns, is weather or not the CMD / Run does anything.
I may well be wrong, but I would normally associate what you have done with limiting users at the physical access level................ at least with NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 Pro. I am not so sure about XP, and haven't even tried with Vista, W7 or W8.
A few more random thoughts:
1. Rename the administrator account.............. it's hard to find something you don't know the name of?
2. Disable "autorun" .............. it's Microsoft's very own malware installation utility
3. Create a backup image and keep it up to date. It's a lot easier to wipe and re-image if the worst happens
4. Possibly total overkill, but you might look at "Deep Freeze" or similar utility? I know there is a free one out there, but I cannot remember its name.
It holds an image of the "clean" system, and re-installs it on reboot. It is used a lot in schools, public libraries and the like, as it automatically kills keyloggers, sniffers and other malware. This works particularly well if you have stroked your hard drive.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. economy grew moderately in July and early August, and hiring was more robust than in the previous six-week period, the Federal Reserve said Wednesday.
The Fed report on business conditions said nine of its 12 districts reported growth that was "modest" or "moderate." That's roughly in line with the conditions described in the previous report.
Strength in auto sales, tourism and home sales in July and early August offset weakness in manufacturing.
The report comes two days before Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will address an annual conference of economists in Jackson Hole, Wyo. Investors will be listening for any signals about whether the Fed might take action at its next policy meeting Sept. 12-13 to stimulate the economy.
Michael Gapin, an economist at Barclays, said he viewed the latest Fed survey of business conditions as slightly more positive than the July report. But he said companies continue to worry about threats, including economic weakness in Europe.
Analysts said nothing in the report would discourage the Fed from helping the economy, if its policymakers saw the need for it.
"As long as activity grows at a rate that fails to bring down the unemployment rate, Fed action remains on the table," said Paul Edelstein, director of financial economics at HIS Global Insight.
The economy is still struggling to gain traction more than three years after the end of the Great Recession in June 2009. The Fed report said that six of its districts reported weaker demand in manufacturing. And it highlighted concerns about a severe drought affecting cotton, soybean and corn crops in its Chicago, St. Louis and Kansas City districts.
The report, known as the Beige Book, is released eight times a year. It's based on information that the Fed's 12 regional banks gather from business contacts around the country.
At its last policy meeting on July 31-Aug. 1, the Fed took no action. But the minutes from that meeting signalled that Fed officials might act as soon as September, possibly by launching a fresh round of bond buying. The goal of the bond purchases would be to lower long-term interest rates to encourage more borrowing and spending.
The minutes showed that Fed officials spoke with increased urgency about the need to provide more help for the U.S. economy. Many officials felt further support would be needed "fairly soon" unless the economy improved significantly.
The Fed has already sought to drive down long-term rates by buying more than $2 trillion in Treasury bonds and mortgage-backed securities in two previous rounds of bond purchases. These purchases are known as "quantitative easing."

MS to omit anti-virus from Vista
Microsoft will omit anti-virus protection in Vista, the next version of Windows, which it plans to ship late this year. As with previous versions of Windows dating back to Windows 2000 at least, Redmond is promoting Vista as a landmark improvement in Windows security.
Jim Allchin, co-president of Microsoft's platform products and services division, told reseller magazineCRN that safety and security, improved user experience, and mobility features will be key additions in Vista. But there will be no anti-virus software, the Windows development supremo said during a questions and answers session with CRN. For unspecified business (not technical) reasons, Microsoft will sell anti-virus protection to consumers through its OneCare online backup and security service.

Today, as music is well on its move into the digital world, we are passionately bringing it back home to the world of the analogue.!"Read more

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee State men's basketball team came up just shy in a defensive battle, falling to Tennessee Tech 57-53 on Thursday night.
Kennedy Eubanks led the Tigers with 15 points on 6-of-14 shooting and tied a career-high with 10 rebounds.
M.J. Rhett recorded his seventh double-double of the season with 10 points and 10 boards, and Patrick Miller recorded 13 points and six assists.
The Tigers outrebounded the Golden Eagles 34-32 and forced 17 turnovers, but their bench was bested, 24 to 11.
Rhett got the Tigers started offensively, scoring six of his team's first nine points. On the other end of the floor, TSU forced four turnovers through the first six minutes, and posted an 11-5 lead.
The Golden Eagles responded with seven straight points to take the lead at the 11-minute mark. Jaleel Queary finally ended TSU's scoring drought with a two-handed alley-oop off of a perfect pass from Eubanks, making the score 13-12 in favor of the home team.
Later in the opening stanza, the Tigers went on a 10-0 run that spanned 5:34 to extend their lead to 23-18. Miller had six points during the stretch and TSU held TTU to a 0-for-5 shooting line.
Eubanks ended the half with a dunk with 14 seconds to go in the half and the Tigers led 25-22 heading into the break.
TSU was outshot in the first half, 41 to 33 percent, but forced 10 turnovers on defense.
The Tigers drained three triples during the first eight minutes of the second half, but TTU canned four and the game was all-squared at 38. Rhett broke the tie with a powerful slam at the 11:15 mark, but the game remained close.
The back-and-forth game continued until TSU went cold from the field, allowing Golden Eagles to go on a 10-0 run that spanned over five minutes.
The Tigers were within three at 54-51 with 28 seconds to play, and Jay Harris came up with a steal and then was immediately fouled.
Harris missed both free throws and Tennessee Tech walked away with a 57-53 victory.
TSU was 2-for-7 from the charity stripe during the final minute of play and made just five of its last 15 freebies.
The Tigers made one field goal during the game's final 8:18.
TSU will remain at home and host another conference game when the squad takes on Jacksonville State on Saturday, Jan. 4. Tip-off for that game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

We oppose Islam, not Muslims. We are against hate, not faith
manfred wrote:I have never heard this before... in fact, as far as I know, you have to be born a Hindu, and you cannot "convert" to it as such. But again, there are quite a few varieties.... In Bali there are some VERY FEW Muslim girls who have married a Hindu man, usually against fierce resistance from her family, and they live LIKE a Hindu (interestingly, though, they will generally still avoid pork, it is in the blood I think....) but they are rejected by their families and not seen as a "proper" Hindu either, unless she has some Hindu relatives. They have a very difficult life, being entirely dependent on just the whims of one person, her husband.
I am not aware of any Hindu conversions in Western countries, of effort to that effect, are you? (I am not counting the "Hari Krishna" bunch). Sikhs, on the other hand do have a very low level gentle "recruitment drive".
my mother told me that it does not matter as one attains salvation even by means of other faiths.
Truth is One, sages describe it variously.
For a Hindu it is not their beliefs that brings "salvation" but how you put these beliefs into practice.
But your mother expressed a common view found with Hindu people.
When discussing other religions, Hindu leaders often quote a verse from the Rig Veda (1.164.46): "Ekam Sat, viprah bahudha vadanti," meaning "Truth is One, sages describe it variously." It conveys a core Hindu idea: that there can be multiple valid viewpoints about the Supreme. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan, philosopher and former president of India, stressed this point: "The Hindu recognizes one Supreme Spirit, though different names are given to it."
This does NOT actually say that "all religions are the same". It merely suggests that all have a similar aim or goal. One destination, many roads. Some roads are better than others.

In the first three weeks of the bobsled World Cup circuit I competed on both of my home tracks and one in my backyard. We started in Lake Placid, N.Y., moved to Park City, Utah, my home tracks, then on to Whistler, BC, Canada, our backyard. Out of those six races we finished with three gold in two-man and two silver in four-man – a pretty good start considering it's been 12 years since an American has won back-to-back gold in two-man, let alone three in-a-row. As great as it all sounds, I did have a little bit of an advantage.
In my last post "Home Track Advantage: The Track" I wrote about how being competitive on your home track was a huge benefit because bobsledding is all about repetition and experience, and nobody spends more time on a track than the home team. But, it's not just the track that gives you the advantage. Sure, having a couple dozen extra runs down a track will make you a better and more competitive driver, but it doesn't end there, there is one more element that every countryman wants as their advantage: the crowd.
As I explained last time, every NFL field is the same, every NBA court is the same, and every single hockey rink is the same, no matter where you are. The one difference in professional sports is that they play roughly half of their games in front of the home crowd. It doesn't seem like that big of a deal, but ask any professional athlete if they prefer a home crowd or a visiting crowd? I am going to go out on a limb here and say that every single athlete prefers the home crowd. When they make a basket, the crowd goes wild. Complete a pass, the crowd goes wild. Win the game, the crowd goes even wilder. Imagine if you told a team that they were going to play 95% of their games on the road.
Welcome to the world of Olympic sports. We compete on foreign soil 90-95% of the time where, believe it or not, nobody wants to see us do well, nobody wants to see us win. When we do claim a victory, it is in front of thousands of people that are not too thrilled at the fact that we just beat their team, just like it is in any other sport. The catch is, for our next race we will be in front of a completely different crowd that just as equally doesn't want us to win. The week after that, another crowd, same feelings. I spend my competitive life surrounded in disappointment or in some cases resentment. Sure, they clap their hands when I get to the starting line, but it's a, "Hey, thanks for showing up today" clap. They clap when our names are announced as the winners and our flag is raised. But they aren't clapping because they are proud of us, they aren't clapping because they're happy we have just done so well. They're clapping because it's polite, it's sportsmanlike.
It sounds mundane and inconsequential, but trust me, it's not. I train incredibly hard for the six months leading up to the season. All the hard work, blood, sweat, and tears that go into ensuring that I can be competitive against the "European Professionals" will usually go unnoticed. When it's finally time to show my stuff, all that I've been working for, nobody really cares. Don't get me wrong, I love beating the Germans in Germany, the Swiss in Switzerland, the Austrians in Austria, and hopefully the Russians in Russia, but stealing other people's thunder, as rewarding as it is, just isn't the same; you're never the hero, just the villain.
Does the home crowd give the home team an advantage? You bet it does. There is no greater joy than hearing the crowd chant "U-S-A, U-S-A, U-S-A" at the start line or the sing along with the "Star-Spangled Banner" as Old Glory is raised above the homeland, recognizing all the hard work and sacrifices that have been put in for months leading up to that point. So, the next time you find yourself at an event here in the United States, know that every American athlete is anxiously waiting to show you how hard they've worked, how bad they want to win, and wants nothing more than to make you proud.

Fig Walnut Boule with Shiraz and Raisin Yeast Water
This one is inspired by TFL posts, specifically ones by Yuko & Evon Lim, of breads made with red wine.
My raisin yeast water was ready and raring to go. Till now I have always added a bit of instant yeast to my YW breads for luck. This time I decided to take risk and see if the YW could manage on its own. As this was to be a test for my YW, I decided to stick to few simple ingredients. First I soaked 100 gms chopped dried figs in 100 gms Shiraz and kept overnight.
I had a 2 build YW levain ready in fridge. First build was 30 gms RYW & 30 gms APF. Added another 60 gms RYW & 60 gms APF for second build and refrigerated overnight.
For the final dough I strained Shiraz from figs, added extra to make 100 gms. Added 160 gms of water to Shiraz. Added YW levain and 310 gms BF. Autolysed for 20 minutes and then mixed 9 gms salt, soaked figs & 100 gms chopped walnuts, till evrything came together. Kept for bulk fermentation. Did 3 S&Fs in first hour.
Got a nice bubbly dough, which had tripled in 6 hours. Quickly folded it over itself on floured surface and kept for second proof in floured plastic basket. I must not have been thinking clearly. Usually, I proof my high hydration doughs on floured tea towels or if I have to use proofing baskets, I coat them with rice flour. This time I did the unforgivable mistake of putting an extremely wet dough with ordinary flour. And I paid for it. After heating my claypot in 500F oven for an hour, I turned the dough on parchment as ususal. To my horror, only the bottom portion of the dough plopped on the paper and the top got stuck to the basket. I somehow scraped the stuck part down as gently as I could. I gave a thought to re folding the dough and giving it one more rise, but I didn't have time. So I decided to go ahead. How bad can a bread with all right ingredients get? I proceeded to put the dough in DO, turned the oven down to 475F and kept my fingers crossed for next 30 mins till the lid came off. Finally, when I took off the lid, I was pleasantly surprised to see a nice oven spring. Baked for another 20 minutes at 450F, till the crust was nicely dark, the way I like. I should have photographed my disaster, but was too busy feeling sorry for myself. Anyway, the bread turned out ugly, but extremely flavourful & tasty.
From now on, I am going to have rice flour standing next to me before preparing proofing baskets. Glad that the lesson did not harm the taste of bread. Sweet figs, crunchy walnuts and the subtle after taste of Shiraz (or is it in my mind) made up for the crater shaped bread. And I am finally ready to bake my bread on the strength of YW alone!

An International ViewKotzab, Herbert; Teller, Christoph; Grant, David B. (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses factors affecting the execution of supply chain management and presents a conceptual model and six hypotheses based on such factors identified in the literature. The model was tested in two European country-specific cases using structural equation modelling. Findings in both cases confirm the hypothesized hierarchical order of three proposed antecedents: 'internal SCM conditions' affect 'joint SCM conditions' which in turn influences collaborative 'SCM-related processes'. Managerial implications are that firms in both countries should adopt these hierarchical steps to ensure a rigorous and appropriate approach to achieving full and integrative SCM.

Our albums are high quality and are intended to be used as heritage pieces to be handed down generations. They often take several months to create for special occasions.
An example of sample album pages is attached.
Our audience is the amateur to professional genealogist who has an interest in documenting their extensive family tree research in a keepsake album. The audience will typically be the retired person who has extra time for hobbies. Our albums will not be limited to this audience but that's where our marketing efforts will be directed.
We're just getting off the ground and require a logo, stationery and business cards. We're open to any design ideas. "Tin Roof" might suggest an old family homestead; however, we're definitely open to ideas with a more "urban" feel. If going the old fashioned route, we suggest sepia or gold tones or perhaps old leather, etc.
Future projects will include website design and possibly twitter backgrounds.

Earth from Space: The second Palm Island, Dubai
The artificial island Palm Jebel Ali is shown well under construction in this Proba image. The Palm Jebel Ali is the second of three palm-shaped artificial islands being constructed just off the coast of Dubai.
The Palm Jumeirah, located about 15 kilometres east of the Palm Jebel Ali, is much nearer completion, construction having commenced in June 2001 and due to finish in early 2006. Work on the Palm Jebel Ali, was started in October 2002 and is expected to conclude in late 2007. The largest of the three will be the Palm Deira, started in November 2004.
The islands are built in the shape of date palm trees, with a 300-metre-long 'trunk' bridge to the land, a crown with 17 fronds and a surrounding crescent island to serve as a breakwater. While the Palm Jumeirah is planned as a luxury residential area, the
The islands are being built in shallow waters of the wide continental shelf found off Dubai, using millions of cubic metres of sand dredged from the approach channel to the Jebel Ali port – seen here adjacent to the artificial island named after it.
This approach channel is being deepened to 17 metres, and its route can be made out as darker than the water around it. Note also the sediment discolouring the water at the top of the image, possibly connected to this ongoing dredging activity.
The busy commercial port of Jebel Ali, located about 35 kilometres from the city of Dubai is itself artificial – reputedly the largest man-made harbour in the world, completed in 1979.
The Palms are just part of a larger programme intended to turn Dubai into a leading global tourist destination: the plan is to quadruple visitor numbers to 15 million by 2010. Other planned attractions include an underwater hotel called Hydropolis, the 800-metre high Burj Dubai tower and another archipelago of artificial islands shaped after the global map, known as 'The World'.
This image was acquired on 26 August 2005 by the Compact High Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (CHRIS). Built by UK-based Sira Technology, CHRIS is the main payload on ESA's Proba microsatellite, designed to acquire hyperspectral images with a spatial resolution of 18 metres across a range of 14 kilometres.

Final squads finalised for Friday's clash
The East and West CWLand sides have finalised their four-man squads for the Davis Cup World Group Play-off match starting in Stedingham this Friday. There were no surprises as both sides cut down their squads from five for the tie that will take place on the indoor clay surface.
The West boasts season I French Open finalist Sven Oxenstierna and quarter finalist Jojo Mustard in their singles legs, whilst the East have unsurprisingly gone with Jefferson Drake and Randy Smeltz to contest the legs. There was some speculation that alternate Jarkko Maxum might compete in the doubles for the East, but they disappeared as he was excluded from the final four in favour of Jamee Hancianu. Unless any dead rubbers are to be played, Hancianu is not expected to compete as the Australian Open doubles final will be replayed over five sets between Heath Davis & Jojo Mustard and Jefferson Drake & Martti Korpinen. From the locals, Scotland Rivers fills the same role as Hancianu as the fourth player not listed to play.
Delighted to be selected. I suspect there have been tough discussions in the FRC committee about the second singles player, we have plenty of depth.
IMO we have a slight doubles advantage and the East a slight singles. Expecting five tough five-setters and some great tennis for the crowd and television viewers.
once you think you're out they pull you back in

East to win 4-1, cant see where will will drop a match though, maybe I'm just being generous.
With the singles matches on Clay, having me playing would be a complete waste. Once the decision was made to play on Clay, I was never in contention for a singles spot.
I'm very happy with another chance to take on Drake/Korps though. Should be another close one.
Devo to miss out, specially being a clay specialist
Unfortunately for you Hancianu is as well.

Ironman Drake gives East early lead
WORLD No. 10 Jefferson Drake has showed why he is potentially the best five-set player in the world as he picked up a dramatic win over Jojo Mustard in the opening leg of the Davis Cup play-off round in Stedingham. On paper it was an interesting match with Mustard, in front of a home crowd, a French Open quarter finalist despite his recent poor form. In a tense start, both players traded breaks before settling into a serving rhythm on the red clay in a brutal baseline war. But the aggressive Drake managed to earn a decisive break of service after fighting off three break points in the previous game at 6-5 to capture the set 7-5.
The second set, though, was completely different as Mustard lifted his game and shaked off criticisms that he is too much of a pusher in singles tennis. Breaking twice, he closed out the set 6-2 and set about trying to take a lead in the third set. That didn't happen, though, and Drake suddenly leapt from a break down at 0-1 to 4-1 before Mustard could even begin to press his newfound advantage. A third serivce break of the set gave him a two sets to one lead and put him on the verge of a fourth Davis Cup singles win.
But the momentum swung again, and a double fault at 1-1 saw Drake drop service for the first time in over a set and a nervous Mustard hung on to his own serve to lead 3-1. Drake threw everything he could at Mustard until 2-4, before a sense of inevitability came over him and he conserved energy for a fifth and final set. It was not a bad move either, as Drake already had the advantage of being unbelievably experienced in matches that go the distance with a fantastic record of 7-1. Mustard was not, however, going to be the one to make it 7-2 as Drake produced a gutsy display to break once and then again at match point to give the East CWLand team an early 1-0 lead.
This afternoon, World No. 5 Sven Oxenstierna looks to hit back for the West as he takes on World No. 16 Randy Smeltz.

Smeltz leaves West a mountain to climb
EAST CWLAND'S Randy Smeltz has left West CWLand a huge task to qualify for the World Group after pulling off a real upset against world No. 5 Sven Oxenstierna in Stedingham. After Jefferson Drake earlier gave DR CWLand a leg up on the locals with a five-set win over Jojo Mustard, the pressure was on the French Open finalist to keep FR CWLand in the tie at the end of day one. As expected, it was a cagey start from both players who seemed content to patrol the baseline and attempt to draw an error from the other player. They rarely did, though, and were unbelievably consistent on service as the set petered out to a tiebreaker. Smeltz, notorious for underperforming against top players, managed to keep with the higher ranked player and made his move in the breaker as he took points off the first three points of Oxenstierna's service. That blew the breaker wide open, and he capitalised to secure it 7-2.
Down a set, Oxenstierna needed something to go his way and got it early in the second as a forehand at break point clipped the neck and dropped about a foot after the net and well beyond Smeltz's reach. That break was enough to secure the second set as the two men continued to give nothing up on serve. Nevertheless, Smeltz continued to plug away from the baseline as was rewarded with his first break of service in the sixth game of the third set to take a 4-2 lead. He experienced some wobbles at 15-40 in the very next game, but did enough to ultimately move ahead two sets to one.
Oxenstierna was under some real pressure knowing a win would make it very hard for his team to move into the World Group proper. Serving first, he managed to just hold onto serve on his first attempt and then break Smeltz first up to lead 2-0. But just as it looked like this was also heading to five, Smeltz broke back from 2-4 down and consolodated to level it at 4-4. It was a massive blown opportunity from Oxenstierna, and with sweat on his brow he was broken again to take the Easterners a game away from a 2-0 lead. Smeltz needed just five points to secure the match for the East and a 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 boilover.
Down 0-2, the West now need to win the final three rubbers to win the tie that continues with an Australian Open doubles final replay tomorrow.
Randy Smeltz (2-0DC, 1-0S, 0-1D) def. Sven Oxenstierna (3-1DC, 3-1S), 7-6(2), 3-6, 6-3, 6-4.
Gun, not an upset imo. Did beat him last time and it is on clay.

MWC 15 Special
As I wrote five weeks ago, Microsoft is currently working on Windows Live Messenger Mobile client for Windows Mobile devices and while everything was under NDA so far, Microsoft has allowed the current Beta users to publish more information and screenshots now.
So what's the Windows Live Messenger Mobile is about? Well, basically it's the mobile device counterpart of Microsoft's new Windows Live Messenger for PCs which will replace the current Windows XP Messenger as well as the MSN Messenger clients to unify the messaging experience under one umbrella - Windows Live. The current version, which is available to a closed user group only, is an early Beta build and therefore far away from how it will works in the final version and since it is such an early Beta, it has some serious bugs.
But anyway, it provides a good preview already, how Microsoft will continue with its Windows Live Messenger strategy and it includes some features, Windows Mobile MSN Messenger user waited for for ages:
After the installation, which is done at the moment into the main memory of the device (you can not select the storage card as an installation option yet), you get two now icons in the Start menu: Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Mobile:
Windows Live Mobile is a complete new way to handle future
Windows Live services and allows you at the moment to perform
several tasks like:
Opening Windows Live Messenger
Read news and own news sources (coming from RSS feeds)
Doing Windows Live Local Search
Viewing Windows Live Messenger contacts which synchronize with Outlook as well:
Reading/opening all E-Mails, SMS and MMS from one unified interface:
The Windows Live Messenger client provides a similar user
interface, as you might know it from the Windows Live Messenger
client on your PC:
Finally it offers similar contacts overview, as the PC client
offers it already. Either grouped by Online/Offline status or
grouped Groups:
Selecting a contact again looks similar to what you already know from the PC:
Now let us have a chat:
Indeed, the Windows Messenger smiley also appears in Windows Live
Messenger Mobile now!
So what's with sending images and files:
Final Conclusion
With some tasks you see that it is still an early Beta and indeed, not everything is working yet as smooth as it will work in the final version but the current Windows Live and Windows Live Messenger Beta provides a great preview, how the final product will look and work. The Windows Live application is pretty clever and I like features the inbuilt RSS reader, the unified interface for the messages and the Windows Live Local Search. All this stuff is pretty handy. However, what I enjoy most is the new Windows Live Messenger client since it provides a similar experience as you might have it from your PC already, if not it's really worth to either upgrade from your current Microsoft Messenger to Windows Live Messenger or to register for Windows Live Messenger (for PCs) now, to be sure you have your contacts up to date, if the Windows Live Messenger Mobile becomes available publicly.
Talking about how to get the Windows Live Mobile Beta: It's not available yet publicly but you have to register for the Beta at Microsoft Connect. Registering for the Beta doesn't means you will be added to the Beta tester group but it's the only official way to get it at the moment.
Microsoft hasn't given any planned release dates yet but I'm sure we will see the final version during this year.
All together, I'm really satisfied with what Microsoft is working on and I'm sure the final release will become a great product.
Cheers ~ Arne

Two outstanding explorers — filmmaker and alternative-energy proponent James Cameron and marine ecologist Enric Sala — are the National Geographic Society's newest Explorers-in-Residence. Both were honored today at a special gathering of National Geographic's top explorers at Society headquarters.
Explorers-in-Residence are some of the world's preeminent explorers and scientists and represent a broad range of science and exploration; they develop programs in their respective areas of study, carrying out field work supported by the Society. The group includes a geographer, three paleontologists, an archaeologist, a geneticist, conservationists and leaders in several other disciplines.
As a National Geographic Explorer-in-Residence, Cameron will apply his distinctive storytelling skills and innovative filmmaking technologies to National Geographic Society projects and programs. Sala, formerly a National Geographic Fellow, will continue his leadership of Pristine Seas, an exploration, research and conservation project that aims to find, survey and help protect the last healthy and undisturbed places in the ocean.
"We are thrilled to welcome James Cameron to National Geographic's cadre of explorers and to elevate Enric Sala's important work on ocean conservation," said Terry Garcia, National Geographic executive vice president for Mission Programs. "They perfectly round out our very diverse team of explorers."
Cameron When the Camera's Off
Cameron has written and directed scores of films, among them "The Terminator," "Aliens," "The Abyss," "Titanic" and "Avatar." His films have blazed new trails in visual effects and have set numerous performance records, both domestically and abroad, including a record-setting 11 Oscars for "Titanic." "Avatar," a 3-D science fiction epic, reflected more than two years in development of new production technologies; it won Golden Globe Awards for best director and best picture and three Academy Awards.
Work on "Avatar" inspired a new mission for Cameron — illuminating the plight of indigenous peoples, especially those involved in struggles over energy issues, some of whom came forward after seeing the film. Since the film's release, Cameron has spent some 18 months in energy battlegrounds — in the Alberta, Canada, tar sands and the Amazon — meeting with indigenous peoples whose environment and way of life are threatened. Cameron also organized a task force of deep-ocean experts to address offshore oil production and ocean engineering issues raised by the 2010 Gulf oil spill. He continues to work in the arena of alternative energy.
Two of Cameron's passions — filmmaking and scuba diving — blend in his work on movies such as "The Abyss" and "Titanic," which took him on 12 manned-submersible dives to the famed shipwreck in the North Atlantic. The technical success of those expeditions led Cameron to form Earthship Productions, which develops films about ocean exploration and conservation. Since then he has investigated and written a marine forensic paper on the sinking of the German battleship Bismarck, organized expeditions to deep hydrothermal vent sites along the mid-Atlantic Ridge, the East Pacific Rise and the Guaymas Basin in the Sea of Cortez, and led seven deep-ocean expeditions with 72 deep submersible dives.
Boldly Going…
Cameron is currently leading a team that is building a unique manned sub capable of diving to the ocean's greatest depths. Next year he plans to pilot the sub to the ocean's deepest point in the Pacific's Mariana Trench, part of a series of dives to the world's deepest places — the Mariana, Kermadec and Tonga trenches.
Also fascinated by outer space, Cameron has worked with scientists and engineers developing "architectures" for human exploration of Mars. He is a co-investigator on the Mars Science Laboratory Mastcam, the "eyes" of the Curiosity rover, which is to explore the Martian surface next year.
Finding and Saving the Ocean's Last Pristine Areas
Witnessing the harm people do to the ocean led Enric Sala to dedicate his career to working to restore marine life. Sala is a rare scientist who combines research with effective communication to inspire leaders to protect the ocean. One of his goals is to help protect the last pristine marine ecosystems worldwide, using scientific expeditions, media, partnerships with local conservation organizations and high-level discussions with country leaders.
Sala fell in love with the sea while growing up on the Mediterranean coast of Spain and watching Jacques Cousteau on television. After obtaining a Ph.D. in ecology in 1996 from the University of Aix-Marseille, France, he worked in California for 10 years as a professor at the prestigious Scripps Institution of Oceanography. In 2006 he moved back to Spain to take the first position on marine conservation ecology at Spain's National Council for Scientific Research, and in 2008 he became a Fellow at the National Geographic Society, where he leads the Pristine Seas project.
The Pristine Seas team recently worked with Oceana-Chile and the Chilean government to establish the 150,000-square-kilometer Motu Motiro Hiva Marine Park around Salas y Gómez, a small, uninhabited Chilean island in the Pacific Ocean (see photos, read blogs, and more from the expedition). Working with local and international NGOs, Sala's Pristine Seas project also was instrumental in inspiring the Costa Rican government to create the new 10,000-square-kilometer Seamounts Marine Managed Area around Cocos Island (see photos, blog, more).
Sala is a 2005 Aldo Leopold Leadership Fellow, a 2006 Pew Fellow in Marine Conservation, a 2007 National Geographic Emerging Explorer and a 2008 Young Global Leader at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.
In Good Company
Cameron and Sala join 13 other National Geographic Explorers-in-Residence: oceanographer Robert Ballard, anthropologist/ethnobotanist Wade Davis, geographer Jared Diamond, marine biologist Sylvia Earle, conservationist J. Michael Fay, archaeologist Zahi Hawass, filmmakers/conservationists Dereck and Beverly Joubert, paleontologists Meave and Louise Leakey, anthropologist Johan Reinhard, paleontologist Paul Sereno and geneticist Spencer Wells. The last new Explorers-in-Residence were named in 2005.
