Delft, The Netherlands (PRWEB) April 22, 2013
A group of independent firms today announced they have banded together to form the European Cyber Security Group (ECSG), a private consortium formed in response to the growing need for increased collaboration across borders to address the growing threats to Europe's cyber security. The founding members of the ECSG include Danish CSIS, Dutch Fox-IT, French Lexsi, and Spanish S21sec.
While every country in Europe has an agency dedicated to the mission of securing its electronic borders, cooperation between countries is rare, making efforts to protect citizens and prosecute perpetrators increasingly difficult. ECSG seeks to address this through a combination of partnership and advocacy, using the combined strength of its more than 600 cyber security experts to respond in a rapid and efficient manner. By tackling Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) engagements as partners, they each bring their firms' uniqueness to bear to deliver faster and more complete services in agile ways that a single, large organization simply cannot.
In addition, ECSG can utilize its front-line experience to advise governments, corporations and regulators on more effective and practical cyber defence policy issues, risk prevention and mitigation practices, and cross-border information sharing, thus reducing the effects of cybercrime across Europe.
Key Facts
Dr Paul Timmers, Director of the Directorate Sustainable and Secure Society in the European Commission, Directorate-General Communications Networks, Content & Technology
"It is an unfortunate fact of the world we live in today that insufficient preparedness and limited cross-border cooperation can hamper our response to cyber incidents and cybercrime. This should not, however, prevent us from mitigating the effects of attacks on the victims. The mission of the ECSG is to be applauded; by leveraging the expertise and personnel from its member companies, the group will enhance cooperation and lawful sharing of information for quick and effective response to cyber-attacks. It will hopefully strengthen public-private cooperation, which is one of the key priorities of the EU Cybersecurity Strategy."
Menno van der Marel, Chairman ECSG and Director and Co-Founder of the Dutch firm Fox IT: "Organisations are increasingly faced with cyber security incidents both major and minor, from data leaks to DDOS attacks, to Advanced Persistent Threats that can bring them to their knees. Effectively dealing with those incidents is a specialist job, and oftentimes, specialist firms may be faced with a temporary lack of resources to address client needs. ECSG partners are committed to delivering resources for each other to ensure that best in class expertise can be deployed to clients across the globe."
About Fox-IT
Netherlands-based Fox-IT prevents, solves and mitigates the most serious threats as a result of cyber attacks, fraud and data breaches with innovative solutions for government, defence, law enforcement, critical infrastructure, banking, and commercial enterprise clients worldwide.

Public health officials have issued a notice to the Naivasha Municipal Council to close its old open air market. Naivasha district public health officer Samuel King'ori issued the 14-day closuer notice yesterday.
"I have issued a closure notice for the old market as the toilets are overflowing yet the facility deals with fresh food," he said. The department accused the council of failing to repair the market's toilets despite issuing it with various notices that date back to January 2012.
Speaking in his office, King'ori said the overflowing sewage may cause a disease outbreak in the town. The health officer asked the council to repair the toilets in the new market.

There is no stopping Chelsea's goalscoring machine as Carlo Ancelotti's side have now already hit double figures for the season after two games in defence of their Barclays Premier League crown following a 6-0 thrashing of sorry Wigan.
For the second successive Saturday Chelsea rattled home six, with Nicolas Anelka and substitute Salomon Kalou each bagging a brace, sandwiching one apiece from Florent Malouda and Yossi Benayoun.
It leaves Chelsea sitting pretty at the top of the table and the Latics propping it up, and with the possibility manager Roberto Martinez may now be fearing for his job.

Education Dept. to Probe UC Santa Cruz's anti-Israel Hostility
by IPT News • Mar 17, 2011 at 2:54 pm
Note: This item has been updated to correct some incorrect information.
The U.S. Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights is investigating allegations made by a faculty member that anti-Israeli sentiment by some faculty and campus speakers has made the University of California, Santa Cruz (UCSC) a hostile place for Jewish students.
Allegations made by lecturer Tammi Rossman-Benjamin date back to 2001. Her June 2009 complaint says some professors used their classes to promote an anti-Israel agenda. "The impact of the academic and university-sponsored Israel-bashing on students has been enormous," she said. "There are students who have felt emotionally and intellectually harassed and intimidated, to the point they are reluctant or afraid to express a view that is not anti-Israel."
"Investigations are very common, but this is anything but the usual case," former head of the U.S. Commission on Human Rights, Kenneth Marcus said. "What they are investigating is the atmosphere throughout the university and raises very subtle questions about the definition of discrimination, the meaning of anti-Semitism and where the lines are between harassment and the First Amendment."
"We not only look forward to fully participating in OCR's review of the matter, we are confident that the agency will determine that the allegations are unfounded," UCSC counsel Carole Rossie said in a written statement.
On Tuesday, swastikas and a threatening message were found written in a campus bathroom. The message read: "Blood will be shed @ UCSC 4/20/11." It is not clear whether the graffiti is related to the investigation, the Santa Cruz Sentinel reported.
The Department of Education's investigation comes on the heels of a federal civil rights complaint filed March 4 against the Regents of the University of California and the University of California, Berkeley by former UC Berkeley student Jessica Felber. Felber alleges she was assaulted on campus last year by the leader of the student group Students for Justice in Palestine because she is Jewish and was holding a sign stating "Israel Wants Peace."
In November, 2007, the Department of Education's OCR replied to a complaint filed by the Zionist Organization of America on behalf of students at the University of California, Irvine, claiming that the university had been fostering a climate of anti-Semitism. The complaint was dismissed because at the time, OCR's policy did not apply Title VI protection to Jewish students.

Submitted by Charlie in NY, Mar 17, 2011 18:05
Though the article does not mention it, 4/20/11 is the anniversary of the birth of Adolph HItler. So, it would seem that it would qualify along with the swastika as fare for the investigation. As far as the investigation itself is concerned, while there may be issues of academic freedom and the like that are raised as defenses, a straightforward factual report on what is actually going on might cause sufficient embarrassment to the University and perhaps lead to the lessening of tensions - provided, of course, that the results are made public. If, on the other hand, the charges actually lead to a formal civil rights case against the University, then perhaps Governor Brown and the Chancellor will be pro-active and require something more of those who abuse academic freedoms. Time will tell.

CNBC reported that oil posted an 8.5 percent gain for the third quarter of 2012. Market players are still uncertain as to whether demand will go up or down in the year's final quarter.
As quoted in the market news:
Benchmark oil rose 34 cents to $92.19 per barrel in morning trading in New York. In London, Brent crude, which reflects what most U.S. refineries have to pay for oil, rose 38 cents to $112.39.
That marks a quiet finish to a quarter in which oil had a dramatic impact on prices at the gas pump and on some sectors of the stock market. Oil gained 8.5 percent during the third quarter, and is up 18.7 percent from the year low hit on June 28. Gasoline prices rose 14 percent to an average of $3.79 per gallon, a record for late September.

The Judicial Service Association of Ghana (JUSAG) is embarking on a nation-wide sit-down strike in demand of un-paid allowances and subventions due them this year, which is running into six months.
Members of Staff of the Judicial Service, throughout the country, are wearing red hand-bands and refusing to attend to litigants, who have thronged the court premises for their cases.
Red flags are mounted in the premises of the court in Accra and it is expected to be replicated on the premises of the courts throughout the country and flying at half mast.
A notice pasted on the notice board of the court in Accra and signed by the Chairman and secretary of JUSAG Interim Management Committee, Mr. Francis Brakwah and Mr. Derrick Annan respectively, directed members to observe the strike till all allowances due them are paid.
The Interim Management Committee of JUSAG has accused government for failing to release funds to the authorities of the Judicial Service to enable them pay deserving members of staff all legitimate allowances due them for the year 2012.
According to them members of JUSAG had made all attempts to get these monies paid to no avail as government and the management of the Judicial Service had failed to agree to their repeated legitimate demands.
Information gathered by the Chronicle from the Cape Coast, in the Central Region and Bolgatanga, in the Upper East Region have close the gates of the court to prevent litigants from entry the court premises as a result of the impending sit-down strike.

And Then There Were Two!
Posted by Will under adventure, animals, backyarchaeology, nature

Well, as is readily evident in the clip of this morning's feeding session, you can count me happily mistaken in my previous presumption that there was but one Anna's hummingbird chick in the nest in our backyard Victorian Box tree. There is indeed, two and both look hungry and healthy. Yay!
And just in case you might be wondering about my gum-and-duct-tape set-up to get this footage, here's a snap illustrating just that (although I use putty — not actual chewing gum — to hold the cam lens to the spotting scope eyepiece; click it for the bigger picture):

opinionBy Godwin Yaw Agboka
The euphoria that gripped the nation after the Black Stars' qualification to their first ever World Cup competition is indescribable. For some of us who eat and dream football, it was the most fulfilling experience that could ever happen to us.
However, I have to admit that if excitement alone wins matches, then a country such as England should have been winning the World Cup at each competition. Many of us have been very worried about the Stars' preparation towards this year's football's biggest festival. Personally, I have wondered whether our preparations have been commensurate with the passion with which we discuss soccer.
In less than fifty days, the Black Stars will join the 31 other countries to attempt to win a trophy that has for a long time been the preserve of some traditional powerhouses. Sadly, however, our FA has struggled to organize quality friendly matches to fine tune the players for the tournament. Friendly after friendly was announced and just when it was almost time for these matches to be honored, the FA announced a cancellation.
For the records, Ghanaians were told to expect matches with Argentina, Iran, Turkey, and Hanover, yet the closer these events got the easier it became for the FA to announce cancellations. What is the reason behind the cancellation of matches? Isn't it a shame that a World Cup team like Ghana cannot organize a friendly with a quality team that will participate in the same competition, especially when the likes of Togo and Ivory Coast have been successful in that direction? At some point, countries such as Portugal were busily looking for opponents when we continued wallowing in our "faith-based" philosophy of running football.
The game of football has changed so much and preparation is an integral part of any tournament. Now, the football association is running around, hastily organizing matches with less than two (2) months to go. What happened to the numerous trips made by members of the FA?
Looking for the easy way out
It beats my naked imagination why we have blatantly refused to learn some good lessons from the Egypt 2006 debacle. In that tournament, while the likes of Tunisia and other teams had some good preparation, our FA frustrated early camping efforts only to settle for immediately arranged matches with Togo, Tunisia, and Ismaila only for team moral to be dampened. I am told the FA was successful in organizing the previous or even the upcoming friendly matches because their opponents bore/will bear the financial costs.
Sources indicate that the Stars played Saudi Arabia because the Saudis footed the bill [and even paid the Ghanaian contingent], played Mexico because the Mexicans made the call and paid for all the expenses, while they will play Stuttgart because they [Stuttgart] have their own venue, or else that could have led to the cancellation of the match. More so, they will play Jamaica because most of the Jamaicans are based in England, while the FA chose Austria because the Black Stars will be camping at no cost.
While, I am not averse to the FA's choice of Austria over Portugal [for the Stars' camping] it will make no sense if the resources saved could not be channeled into other areas that will contribute to make the team better. Why do we always settle for cheapness and look for the easy ways out? What happened to the funds FIFA gives to all participating teams?
The match coordinator for Ghana's friendlies against Jamaica and Korea noted that Ghana does not have the resources to pay for any stadium to be opened for three weeks, so getting a venue in London proved impossible." He added that Filbert Street, the old football ground for Leicester Football Club was only secured because the rugby team also uses the ground and the rugby league has just begun." Isn't it a shame how the FA has to overburden itself with a few weeks to the fiesta when it had enough time to make adequate, proper arrangements?
The Black Stars, we are told, will play Terek Grozniy on 8 May, before taking on Anji Mahachkala on 11 May in Russia, before the deadline for the submission of the final squad lists for the World Cup. What on earth are the Stars going to do in Chechnya? What were they [the FA] thinking in making such a choice? Were they so desperate they would willingly throw our boys into harm's way without even batting an eyelid? Or it's just a case of very poor geographical as well as socio-political knowledge? More so, why are we playing/touring Europe so close to the World Cup? Why can't we invite the teams to play some of these matches in our Camp base in Austria? Somebody has a lot of explanation to give at the GFA!
Sometime ago, the President of the GFA indicated his organization was going to announce a selection of a 32-man pre-World Cup team from which the coach was going to use as a pool for the selection of a formidable team for the mundial but there has been no commitment to this. As far as I know the Stars would play Stuttgart on the 26th of April and yet the list for the game has been shrouded in secrecy. I strongly am of the view that the running of football in the country is a service to the millions of fans, who own the team. GFA is just managing it for the teeming football loving fans.
Mediocre targets
I am not surprised then that that FA, including the coach has set, for itself, mediocre targets at the World Cup. How could anyone be content with a mere second round berth after qualifying just as any other team did? An official from the FA comes out to indicate how happy the FA will be should the Stars make it to the second round and the next moment the coach confirms it. In a previous feature article, I catalogued a litany of excuses given by Coach Ratomir Djukovic in the period leading to the Egypt 2006 Nations Cup which were evident in the team's lackluster performance.
It is unfortunate that while the players have consistently indicated their willingness to challenge traditional notions of success at the tournament, the authorities have made nonsense of that with their ego-bruising utterances. Darrel Royal notes that "the only place one can win a football game is on the field. However, though, the only place too one can lose it is in your mind." If we have such a mindset then the Stars might lose their matches even before they get to the field.
As far as I know, with good preparation, our ability to win this cup is as realistic as any of the powerhouses. But like an eagle, the day it belittles itself to the rank a chicken, it will equally begin to act and behave like so. Even though the eagle may have within itself a super flying ability, it would wonder around like the poor chicken. Members of the FA and the coach had better be careful what they say to the media. It is good to set realistic targets but it is even worse to spew out utterances that will affect the morale of the team. Why go to the event when you have such a low level of confidence? I don't think the FA is already admitting its failures and making excuses should our boys fail to deliver.
Who ever believed that Greece could win the European Cup in 2004? Who would believe that Turkey and South-Korea could qualify for the 2002 World Cup semi-finals? Did anybody ever give Cameroon the chance when they played Argentina in the 1990 World Cup? How about performances by other African teams? Back in 1978 The Netherlands was not given a penny's chance at the World Cup, because star-player Cruijff refused to play, yet they made it to the final.
Ghana has a very rich football history that could facilitate its drive for success.
Our problem is that we have a mentality that any little thing should suffice; thus since the Stars will be making their first ever appearance, any performance should be satisfactory. I will always argue that Ghanaians will not settle for mediocrity!

There are a few methods in place for run-time configuration of Linux:
- /proc bunch of files
(like as in /proc/sys/net/ipv4/*, writing a integer number into=20
those files changes the value that the kernel uses at run time(
- /proc one big file
(like /proc/ide/hda/settings, writing some magic string=20
"breada_readahead:16" into the file changes the seeting)
- sysctl
(a command you can run given a variable name to change from one=20
value to the next)
There are also at least two non-runtime change methods:
- .config
(when configuring the kernel a constant is defined which is the
setting like CONFIG_APM_REAL_MODE_POWER_OFF)
- kernel command line
(when the kernel boots, lilo or grub feed it the settings to use
like ide0=3Ddma, for automatic use dma mode).
Lately I've been running into a number of configuration changes which=20
require me to recompile or reboot the kernel to be able to take effect.
For example the number of times the kernel retries bad block reads, and
which method the kernel attempts to power off the machine. Looking=20
at the code there is *NOTHING* that would prevent those settings from
being run-time set, internally the "value" is stored as an int, and
the compiled kernel binary is identical regardless of which way they=20
are set, just no one wrote a /proc or sysctl interface for the variable.
I know historically /proc was a wonderful thing, at some point I think
it started to go out of favor and sysctl was good, then maybe both are
"okay"... but I stopped paying attention. So now I'm wondering=20
- What method of kernel run-time configuration is most in favor?

text: Some time last week, I found out that the other end of my usb cable for my Note 2 is crooked. I disregard it since I can still use it for charging. Yesterday, I somehow felt that that charging of my note 2 takes the whole day which is unusual. So I googled it and found out the possibility that my usb cable is damaged. So after going to Toyota today to look for some oem toyota accessories, we went to the mall and bought a new usb cable. The sales guy told me that the cable is only for charging. I told him it's okay and now I was right. My old cable is busted since it took me around 2hrs to charge my note 2. Compared to the whole charging yesterday. I am glad it's not my battery.

The new commonwealth
Some interesting comments by Kevin Kelly on possible political consequences of the Wikipedia phenomenon, excerpted from his brief essay. He changed his initial assumption that an encyclopedia editable by anyone would be an impossibility. This commentary has a rather different spirit than yesterday's post on the internet phenomenon.
It has always been clear that collectives amplify power — that is what cities and civilizations are — but what's been the big surprise for me is how minimal the tools and oversight are needed. The bureaucracy of Wikipedia is relatively so small as to be invisible. It's the Wiki's embedded code-based governance, versus manager-based governance that is the real news. Yet the greatest surprise brought by the Wikipedia is that we still don't know how far this power can go. We haven't seen the limits of wiki-ized intelligence. Can it make textbooks, music and movies? What about law and political governance?
The reality of a working Wikipedia has made a type of communitarian socialism not only thinkable, but desirable. Along with other tools such as open-source software and open-source everything, this communtarian bias runs deep in the online world...In other words it runs deep in this young next generation. It may take several decades for this shifting world perspective to show its full colors. When you grow up knowing rather than admitting that such a thing as the Wikipedia works; when it is obvious to you that open source software is better; when you are certain that sharing your photos and other data yields more than safeguarding them — then these assumptions will become a platform for a yet more radical embrace of the commonwealth. I hate to say it but there is a new type of communism or socialism loose in the world, although neither of these outdated and tinged terms can accurately capture what is new about it.
The Wikipedia has changed my mind, a fairly steady individualist, and lead me toward this new social sphere. I am now much more interested in both the new power of the collective, and the new obligations stemming from individuals toward the collective. In addition to expanding civil rights, I want to expand civil duties. I am convinced that the full impact of the Wikipedia is still subterranean, and that its mind-changing power is working subconsciously on the global millennial generation, providing them with an existence proof of a beneficial hive mind, and an appreciation for believing in the impossible.

How to fix Wi-Fi issues on your iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS 7.1.2
If you've updated to iOS 7.1.2 and find yourself experiencing Wi-Fi issues on your iPhone or iPad, you aren't alone. Many users have reported Wi-Fi issues that range from not being able to connect to any network to only having issues with specific networks. If that sounds like a problem you're having after updating, here are a few steps you can try to return Wi-Fi to normal again!
1. Forget the network and join it again
Many times Wi-Fi issues can be solved by simply forgetting and rejoining a Wi-Fi network again. To do this just perform the following steps:
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on Wi-Fi.
- Tap on the info button next to the network you're having issues with — you'll need to be in range of it to do this.
- Tap on Forget this Network.
- Rejoin the network again.
If rejoining the network doesn't solve the problem, move on to the next step.
2. Reset all network settings and reboot
Sometimes a setting inside iOS can go corrupt and cause issues with certain networks, or all of them. This is a perfect time to clear all network settings. You'll have to re-enter all your Wi-Fi passwords again but it's a small price to pay to have working Wi-Fi again.
- Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Tap on General.
- Tap on Reset — it's all the way at the bottom.
- Tap on Reset Network Settings.
- Let your iPhone or iPad reboot.
- Attempt to connect to the problem network again.
3. Change your router's Wi-Fi settings
If forgetting the network and resetting network settings both don't work, some users have reported that making some changes to their Wi-Fi router seemed to solve the problem.
- Access your router's control panel — this process could be different depending on manufacturer so check your owners guide or online documentation.
- Change the network type to WPA Personal or Mixed WPA2/WPA -PSK.
- Save your changes.
- Reboot your router.
- Try connecting to the network on your iPhone or iPad.
We know this isn't possible for everyone, especially if the network you're having issues with isn't your own or may even be a corporate one. In that case, you'll have to either talk to an IT administrator about your options or continue on to the next step.
4. Restore your iPhone
If all else fails, try completely restoring your iPhone using iTunes. I'd suggest restoring it new and then trying Wi-Fi before bringing down all of your stuff from a backup. If it works, you're good to go and you can bring down all your stuff. If not, move on to step 5.
If you aren't sure how to restore with iTunes, you can follow our step-by-step guide by clicking the link below.
5. Visit an Apple Store
If none of the above steps are remedying your Wi-Fi issues, you may need to visit an Apple Store in order to either have your iPhone or iPad serviced or exchanged.

How to fix Wi-Fi issues on your iPhone or iPad after updating to iOS 7.1.2
Agree! This is ridiculous!! We have the following devices:
1 iPhone 4
1 iPhone 5s
2 iPad 2's
1 iPad Air
NONE work on wifi since I updated them to ios 7.1.2. It isn't my router because my laptop and PC are fine.
I have tried the following on the devices and nothing has changed!
Turn Wifi on and off
Forget Wifi network add again
Reset Network Settings
Erase all content and restore from iTunes backup
Erase all content and restore as a new device- it will not let me do this! It keeps saying service isn't available
I am frustrated beyond belief! I shouldn't even have to try all these things and I'm even more frustrated the only way I can use my devices is by pulling from my Verizon cellular hotspot and use my data!
This needs to get fixed ASAP!
Hi Laurie Ann i am facing same problem as you faced and i am also frustrated with this problem. I don't want to update ios 8.02 coz before my previous iphone getting slow and hanged due to this ios. After replace my phone i get ios 7.1.2. It's performance good but wifi not proper work. I have done all possibility which is given me by apple customer care person and i aslo changed dns number but my problem is same.
I had two iPads (a second gen and a new iPad Air) both go bonkers yesterday out of the blue. I tried connecting to iTunes, ran diagnostics, tried multiple things but ultimately your items one and then immediately two have worked so far. What is odd to me is that the old iPad is not running ios 7.
So glad I found this; I was really frustrated that my 2-month-old iPhone wouldn't connect to any wifi after the 7.1.2 update. Everyone kept asking if I rebooted my router - yes, but it's not working on ANY router. I 'forgot' all the wifi networks I use and re-joined them, and that did the trick.
Since upgrading to ios 7.1.2 on my ipad 2, I have lost the ability to connect to AT&T cellular. This worked fine under 7.1.1 And prior ios releases. Now all I get is either "No Service" or "Searching..." I went to AT&T to no avail and Apple support could not help. Do I just wait for iOS 7.1.3 and pray, or does anyone have a fix. I have already reset my network setting, reset all settings, and did a complete restore. None of this worked.
I keep hearing about Apple leaving the window open to downgrade to 7.1.1 - it doesn't hurt to download the firmware from some source and try it. That, or you can show up to an Apple store extremely pissed. Tell them how you are sick and tired of going on a wild goose chase and just want a replacement phone you are entitled to under warranty.
2. Reset all network settings and reboot
Sometimes a setting inside iOS can go corrupt and cause issues with certain networks, or all of them. This is a perfect time to clear all network settings. You'll have to re-enter all your Wi-Fi passwords again but it's a small price to pay to have working Wi-Fi again.
Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap on General.
Tap on Reset — it's all the way at the bottom.
Tap on Reset Network Settings.
Let your iPhone or iPad reboot.
Attempt to connect to the problem network again.
Did this and guess what?? Now I can't log on to WiFi at all. *sigh* great, time to go waste time at the Apple Store.
EDIT - it seems deleting all settings has somewhat helped.
I always have a page in Notes with WiFi passwords for when I have to do this. That way I can just copy and paste each time. For me it's only some WiFi signals that I can't log-on to.
For my iPhone 4S/64Gb, the only thing that helped was downgrading to 7.1.1 . And then doing a full reset + restore from there (the restore only after leaving the phone off long enough [15 min] for the wifi service to become available again).
I haven't had WiFi issues since, but then I haven't dared rebooting the phone either ...
I tried all of those and none worked. After speaking to the IT lad in my job who overheard me saying I couldn't get on any wifi anywhere he told me to blast the top of the phone with a hair dryer for a few minutes then out it in a bag and leave it in the freezer for ten minutes to cool down. Apparently it solders a chip back on somewhere inside the phone. I now have wifi again. Here's a link: http://hacksfound.blogspot.de/2014/01/how-i-fixed-my-iphones-4s-broken-w...
I can't even turn my Wifi on
Many people don't know how to fix grayed out Wifi on iPhone. You can google it to find the answer.
Launch the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Then Tap on Wi-Fi. Tap on the info button next to the network you're having issues with — you'll need to be in range of it to do this. Then Tap on Forget this Network. Rejoin the network again.
If you have any question about that or find it hard to do that. You can also try iPhone Transfer.
After upgrading to IOS 7, I could no longer connect to my home wi fi unless I was within 3 feet of my router. I could no longer log in to any public wi fi networks at all. I tried all the fixes recommended on this site and other sites with no success.
I scheduled a genius session at an Apple store and the Apple technician was unable to fix the problem. I explained that I had absolutely no connectivity issues prior to the upgrade, asked the technician if he could see a correlation that would lead one to believe the upgrade and the wi fi issue were related and incredibly, he said he did not see the correlation. The recommended solution was to purchase a new iPad.

Click below to pay for GanzFlow intake for Year 2000-07 Non-Turbo Impreza with PayPal - Intakes usually ship within 3 business days unless your choice of silicone color is delayed - blue is usually in stock the most. AMSOIL filters ship seperately, but K&N filters ship with the intake. to choose options such as color of silicone tubing (yellow, blue, red or black). Cost is $134.95+ 26.95S&H if you use your current air filter, $184.95 with K&N filter, plus27.95 S&H. NOTE: the V5 intakes do NOT use the silicone piece at the end at the inner fender hole now, as they were improved to fit tighter and not vibrate in the hole and don't need the extra insulation to fix a loose fit.
We upgraded our materials from hand polished 2.5 inch intakes with minor blemishes to 3 inch "display" quality mirror-finish polished aluminum. Although we do keep a reasonable amount of inventory on hand; should we not have one on hand, we can have the parts for this one piece or a two piece intake shipped here to us within 2-5 business days. As stated above, we also have a two piece 3" version for MY00 and up Legacy and Forester models which does fit the Impreza as well, if you prefer that style. See links on product page to those.
One of the advantages of this particular intake vs other intakes is that ours retains the stock airbox at the throttle body, which acts as an air-plenum or resevour of air for the engine. This serves two purposes - one is to absorb and eliminate intake pulse harmonics and improve the smoothness of the powerband and the other is as a ready supply of moving air to retain low end power when intake air velocity is lower.
The other big advantage of this intake vs others is that we supply cold air to the engine, not feeding the engine hot air from the engine bay. Why is this important? Simple, cold-air is more dense and contains more oxygen than hot air, so the engine can make more power when additional fuel is supplied automatically by the fuel injection system. It is said that every 40-60 degree drop in temperature will result in an additional 5-6% increase in power! That's as much as 10hp right there. There may also be gains from mild pressurizing the inner fender at higher speeds, and from the less restrictive intake tubing for more top end power.

When the app revolution got up and running a few years ago, most of the better apps coming onto the market tended to be rather socially oriented. While there was the odd app specifically made to make business life easier there was very little to help the small businessperson and give them some of the same advantages that big business - with their huge resources - benefited from. Of late, however, there has been a plethora of business apps that go some way to levelling the playing field and giving small business the chance to compete with the big boys. Read more

It's not easy to come up with an original game concept these days. YIX is a new game for iOS that actually manages to come up with something a little bit different to keep us amused.

The Tower Defense (TD) style of video game is a sub-genre of real time strategy games where the idea is to try to stop an invading force from making inroads into your territory by using various fighting methods - and anything else you can get your hands on.

It must have been my growing up in a household that was stacked with Agatha Christie and Sherlock Holmes novels that led to my love of a genuinely good 'whodunnit' mystery. I used to love trying to figure out who the dastardly murderer was or who stole the jewels from some stately mansion. Then along came the Cluedo board game and it went to another level. The thought of Mr Mustard bludgeoning someone to death with a hammer in the kitchen still haunts me. Things changed inexorably though when fully interactive games like Myst and, later on, Syberia were unleashed ... Read more
According to Goldman-Sachs, Australia is one of the least likely nations to win the twentieth FIFA World Cup when it concludes in the middle of July.

Miller, L.; (2007) The common frame of reference and the feasibility of a common contract law in Europe. Journal of Business Law , 2007 (Jun) pp. 378-411.
Full text not available from this repository.
Examines the European Commission's proposals for a Common Frame of Reference towards harmonisation of European contract law. Argues that harmonisation will require more than the technical drafting of common rules, noting the doctrinal complexities of the Member States' different legal systems, including difficulties in reaching agreement even on a common definition of "contract". Predicts problems with the attempt to draft common rules for non-performance and conformity, with reference to the divergence between the treatment of those concepts in European Parliament and Council Directive 1999/44, and the treatment of the same concepts in English and French sales law.

Forest gardening
A forest garden is a designed agronomic system based on trees, shrubs and perennial plants. These are mixed in such a way as to mimic the structure of a natural forest - the most stable and sustainable type of ecosystem in this climate.
Click below to see a 2010 short video (13 mins) about our forest garden at Dartington.
Longer videos of a tour by Martin Crawford around the garden can be viewed at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b_fhAch5qiY&list=PL39F5099E11FF7B5C
The primary aims for the system are:
The crops which are produced will often include fruits, nuts, edible leaves, spices, medicinal plant products, poles, fibres for tying, basketry materials, honey, fuelwood, fodder, mulches, game, sap products.
Forest gardens (often called home gardens) have been used for millennia in tropical regions, where they still often form a major part of the food producing systems which people rely on, even if they work elsewhere for much of the time. They may also provide useful sources of extra income. Their use is intimately linked with prevailing socio-economic conditions. They are usually small in area, often 0.1-1 hectares (0.25-2.5 acres).
In temperate regions, forest gardens are a more recent innovation, many inspired by Robert Harts efforts in Shropshire (UK) over the last 30 years. A major limiting factor for temperate forest gardens in the amount of sunlight available to the lower layers of the garden: in tropical regions, the strong light conditions allow even understorey layers to receive substantial light, whereas in temperate regions this is not usually the case. To compensate for this, understorey layers in temperate forest gardens must be chosen very carefully - there are plenty of plant crops which tolerate shady conditions, but many are not well known. Many of the more common shrub or perennial crops need bright conditions, and it may be necessary to design in more open clearings or glades for such species.
Temperate forest gardens are also usually small in area, from tiny back garden areas up to a hectare (2.5 acres) in size. While food production and land use remain the concern of a minority of landowners and businesses, their use is likely to be limited to alternative and organic gardeners and land users.
The key features which contribute to the stability and self-sustaining nature
of this system are:
A forest garden is organised in up to seven layers . Within these,
the positioning of species depends on many variables, including their
requirements for shelter, light, moisture, good/bad companions, mineral
requirements, pollination, pest-protection, etc. The layers consist of:
There is an excellent
free app called Ticl (smart phone and web based) which allows you to walk around
a garden with a smart phone and it will describe the plants nearest to you – or
you can locate specific plants using a direction-finder. Online you can see a
zoom-able map of the garden with location points marked on.
If you visit the garden with a smart
phone you can use Ticl to help identify what is growing!

'Justified' Season 4 teaser promises a January premiereAdd to Favorites | Justified
You won't see much in the first promo for Season 4 of "Justified." But you will learn more about when it debuts.
At the end of the 15-second teaser, FX says the new season will premiere in January. That's somewhat more specific than the "early 2013" qualifier the cable channel had been using for the show, and in line with when the show premiered last season.
The promo itself doesn't show anything from the current season -- which will feature Patton Oswalt and Ron Eldard in key recurring roles -- but it's pretty cool anyway. A hand flops into the frame, dropping the gun it had been holding, and as it tries to pick the weapon back up, a boot -- presumably belonging of Raylan Givens ( Timothy Olyphant) -- steps on the wrist to stop anything untoward from happening.
What do you think of the promo? Are you excited for the return of "Justified"?

|In this new spine-tingling thriller, the quest to recover a legendary artifact--and plumb its secrets--depends upon one man: David Franco, a brilliant but skeptical young scholar at Chicago''s world-renowned Newberry Library. What begins as a simple investigation quickly spirals into a twisting, turning tale of suspense and intrigue.
