There are some new TV ads for Virgin Mobile phones with Android that have started to play in regular rotation on a couple of channels. The ads are about how you have mobile access to so many social networking sites with such speed that it is now really quite easy to, you know, stalk and then presumably end the life of a member of the opposite sex.
The people who made these ads knew what they were doing. There isn't a case of a company accidentally making creepy commercials. These are on-purpose creepy commercials. Let's watch them and then discuss.

The Synthetic Pet Grass
Ultimate Turf® introduced the Ultimate K9® Turf after many years of extensive research and studies comparing the needs, demands and concerns of natural grass and synthetic grass surfaces and how they affect the pet's environment. Now Ultimate K9 Turf has become choice of Pet Owners, Kennels, Dog Parks, Pet Hotels, Dog Boarding Facilities, Pet Resorts and Veterinary Hospitals around the country.
Ultimate K9® Turf services the entire 48 US continental states and all our products are manufactured in the United States.

Gone Are Your Messy Mud Holes
No more worries about your messy mud holes, discolored dead grass and worn out areas. No more harsh gravel surfaces, rough concrete, and asphalt surface that are unpleasant to the paws of our K9 friends. Also, who wants their K9 Friends eating mulch, sand and gravel? Bringing in the mud from the outside or picking up your K9 Friend from the kennel and find they are covered with mud from head to paws are worries of the past.
Why Ultimate K9® Turf?
First, we are the Industry Leading Synthetic pet turf. Ultimate K9® Turf provides a safe, clean and healthy environment for our K9 friends. No more dead grass issues, gone are all the unhealthy harsh chemical associated with attempting to maintain natural grass.

The Woven Backing provides an industry standard second to none with Tuft Bind and Tensile strength. These two components are paramount to the construction and manufacturing of the Ultimate K9® Turf the toughest, and most durable synthetic pet turf in the industry.
Facts and Data
Ultimate K9® Turf is constructed with 100% Polyethylene…no Nylon components. Nylon contributes to odor and can become a very harmful component to the body of the synthetic pet turf. Many products today are constructed with some amount of Nylon. Nylon requires antimicrobial protection, and our 100% Polyethylene Ultimate K9® Turf does not! Nylon will absorb moisture, which means it is absorbing the pet's urine, which will cause odors, which brings us to a very important concern in the industry. With a 100% Polyethylene product you can remove and kill the virus with a treatment process that will not harm the Ultimate K9® Turf product or our k9 friends. The treatment for Nylon can become harmful to our K9 friends and damaging to any amount of Nylon components. Another benefit of the Ultimate K9® Turf is that it is a non-infill product. The dense, low pile engineered construction and the 100% Polyethylene fibers allows the Ultimate K9® Turf to be infill free! Other products on the market claim to be non-infill but are actually infill products.
THE TIME IS NOW; Ultimate K9® Turf is the industry leader and will satisfy your every need associated with our K9 Friends. SAFE, HEALTHY, DURABLE, and SECOND to NONE. Why wait? Make your inquiry today.
Caution: Other companies claim to have a K9 Turf which is merely a standard synthetic landscape or Sport Turf product that has been renamed! We at Ultimate K9® Turf encourage you to do the research. You will find that Ultimate K9® Turf is second to none.

Is this case compatible with the iPhone 5s? If so, will it accomodate the 5s with the leather case?
- Asked by Christopher L from Mechanicville
Sena Laterale Case for the iPhone 5
Product No Longer Available
4 Answers from the Community
This holster comes with a very thin profile snap-on case that you can put your iphone 5 or 5s into it and use it with your holster with no problem.
If you want to use any other snap-on that is thicker than the snap-on comes with the package, you may experience a very snug fit. I do not recommend to spend any money to any other snap-on because snap-on is already included.
- Answered by Omer C from Irvine
Answering my own question: "Yes". The leather holster also comes with a semi-rigid "sleek form-fitting case" (manufacturer's description) that the phone does fit into nicely, and when installed on the phone, is able to fit into the case, as well. That said, the outer shell (the aforementioned "sleek form-fitting case") is suitable to prevent scratches to the back and sides of the phone, but that I doubt will do much more. The snap closure also works well, but takes a few rounds of in-and-out to stretch a bit to more easily snap shut. The belt/strap clip is sturdy and secure, but if worn or attached to a belt or strap greater than 1.25", will not provide full, wrap-around fit, making it more likely to be dislodged with modest upward pressure. Finally, the belt clip (leather covered metal) might eventually fail in the following way (having owned a case with a similar, nearly identical belt clip style/profile): the "pocket" with which the clip is fitted to the holster is most likely secured to the clip with an adhesive and, eventually, the clip may become unsecured (losing its grip, as it were), leaving one with a clip, but no case, and its contents (the phone) elsewhere. Fortunately, in my, uh, "case", this occurred in a car, so I did not lose the phone (or the outer case, for that matter). Shooting some adhesive into the "pocket", then sliding the clip back into place, followed by some overnight clamping, did the trick. In sum, a very nice case that is more comfortable, with a less obtrusive profile than the alternatives, including, for example, the OtterBox clip-on models.

I contacted apple to ask the same question because I just received the 5s and they said the 5 and the 5s are the same size, hope this helps you, I just bought mine.
- Answered by Pamela C from Charlotte
I just tried it out. It works just fine IF you don't have a snap on case on the iPhone. That is the 'bare' iphone works fine. I've had years of satisfactory use of Sena Laterale cases with my 3 and 4s. I tried Apple's snap on case and it makes the phone too long to fit in the Sena case. Down side is that when the phone is out of the holster, there is less protection for it. However, unlike previous phones with holsters I've used, this holster keeps it very safe. One upside is that when I pull the phone out of the holster, I can see the color of the back of the iPhone which would be concealed by the case. To me the color of the back of the iPhone is nicer than the color of the case. But I wasted money buying both. Since the case is an Apple product, IMO, Sena should have made a note in the product description that it does not fit an iPhone with an Apple case on it.

Instead Kevin Garnett and co. will be watching the rest of the playoffs at home on TV. It's time then for an ending. An ending to something that should have been better. Many of us (including myself) initially thought the excellence of the Boston Celtics would come racing to the surface in the nick of time. They would have a little luck on their side, and perhaps have a few bumbling performances to reach the Conference semi-finals at least. But it was not to be. The Boston Celtics ran towards their destiny, and tripped over their shoelace. Kevin Garnett launched an all-out war against the creaks in his body, and failed. The sweat poured out of Pa...

The remarks, which Senator Dianne Feinstein delivered on the floor of the Senate, was one of the more significant statements given by a United States senator in recent history. They clarified the extent to which the Central Intelligence Agency has worked to interfere and even intimidate senators and their staff, as they have worked to complete and finalize a study on the agency's rendition, detention and interrogation program that involved torture.
Feinstein declared, "How Congress and how this will be resolved will show whether the intelligence committee can be effective in monitoring and investigating our nation's intelligence activities or whether our work can be thwarted by those we oversee." She called this a "defining moment," and indeed it is because numerous Americans do not believe that Congress conducts appropriate oversight anymore. They have watched people like Feinstein herself and concluded that senators are far too willing to work with intelligence agency officials at the expense of challenging their abuses of authority and possibly illegal or criminal actions.
With regards to the 6,300-page study that the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence (SSCI) produced, let's consider what the CIA has done. Personnel conducted searches of committee computers and a network. "This search," according to Feinstein, "involved not only a search of documents provided to the committee but also a search of the standalone and walled off committee network drive containing the committee's own internal work product and communications."
The CIA conducted this search because it suspected staffers had a copy of a draft of an internal review prepared by former CIA director Leon Panetta that summarized documents provided to the committee for the study. Without sharing any allegations with senators, CIA Director John Brennan ordered "further forensic investigation of the committee network to learn more about activities of the oversight staff."
Agency personnel also electronically removed documents, which staffers were supposed to be able to access, at least twice in 2010. They removed a copy of the internal Panetta review when they figured out that it had been provided to the committee as one of millions of documents made available.
Because the senate has a copy of this internal review (which proves the CIA has been disingenuous in its response to the Senate study by disputing certain conclusions), the acting counsel general of the CIA filed a crimes report with the Justice Department.
This top lawyer at the CIA has a conflict of interest. According to Feinstein, his past actions are implicated in the study.
"For most if not all of the CIA's detention and interrogation program, the now acting general counsel was a lawyer in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, the unit within which the CIA managed and carried out this program," Feinstein explained. "From mid-2004 until the official termination of the detention and interrogation program in January 2009, he was the unit's chief lawyer. He is mentioned by name more than 1,600 times in our study and now this individual is sending a crimes report to the Justice Department on the actions of congressional staff, the same congressional staff who researched and drafted a report that details how CIA officers including the acting general counsel himself provided inaccurate information to the Justice Department about the program."
Threatening staffers with prosecution is an act of intimidation on the part of the CIA. As Feinstein made clear, the staffers did nothing unlawful by taking a copy of an internal review back to the secured spaces in the Hart Senate Office Building. They redacted specific information that needed to be protected, such as the names of non-supervisory CIA personnel and locations of CIA detention sites.
The CIA has a history of destroying evidence related to the rendition, detention and interrogation program. The CIA "previously withheld and destroyed information about its detention and interrogation program including its decision in 2005 to destroy interrogation videotapes over the objections of the Bush White House and the Director of National Intelligence."
What the CIA has done very much appears to be in violation, as Feinstein said, of the separation of powers principles in the US Constitution, the Fourth Amendment, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act and Executive Order 12333, which prohibits domestic spying by the CIA.
But Brennan appeared at a Council on Foreign Relations event, which MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell moderated, and he maintained that the CIA had done nothing to "thwart" the committee's efforts to release this report.
The CIA director, with a vexed smirk on his face, said, "As far as the allegations of CIA hacking into Senate computers, nothing could be further from the truth. We wouldn't do that. I mean, that's just beyond the scope of reason."
Such a statement invites mockery and laughter. The CIA lied to members of Congress about interrogation methods that were being used. It deliberately misled the Justice Department on the nature of interrogation methods used against terrorism suspects. When a former CIA officer, John Kiriakou, began to talk on television about waterboarding and called it torture, the CIA encouraged a Justice Department investigation into the officer so that he could be prosecuted, put in jail and silenced. (It worked. The government found an instance where Kiriakou confirmed the name of an intelligence officer to a reporter and got him to plead guilty.)
Intelligence agency officials, current and former, have written books and participated in forums or speaking events where they give their own version of what happened with CIA's rendition, detention and interrogation program. They have been misleading and lied, especially when they have dared to claim that "enhanced interrogation techniques" were not torture.
Revealingly, when Brennan was asked if he would resign if it was found he had overstepped his authority, he maintained his dismissive demeanor and said, while looking down at the floor, "When the facts come out on this, I think a lot of people who are claiming that there has been this sort of tremendous spying and monitoring and hacking will be proved wrong." He was confident that the authorities would deal with allegations properly and, if he did something wrong, he would go to the president and explain what authorities had found. The president would decide whether he should resign.
Of course, one would expect nothing less from a man who rose to the position of CIA director despite the fact that he considered renditions—essentially kidnappings of terrorism suspects—to be "an absolutely vital tool" in the fight against terrorism. This is typical of someone who believes the US "has to take off the gloves" in the war on terror.
This is the culture of impunity of Washington. If it was concluded that he had committed criminal violations, he would have a duty or obligation to step down, however, he believes he could go have a private meeting with President Barack Obama and Obama would understand that what he did was entirely justified. He would be protected from senators who may want the CIA to be held accountable for their actions, which they refuse to apologize for committing and will not explain to the Senate intelligence committee.
Brennan and the CIA are engaging in conduct they consciously believe they can get away with in Washington. It may stretch the boundaries of what is permissible, but they are confident that any attempt to coverup history will eventually be forgotten because nobody has the stomach to truly demand those involved be held responsible.
All of which is the cost of moving forward without looking backward. The Justice Department consciously chose not to prosecute current and former government officials.The investigation into the destruction of CIA torture tapes ended with no charges. In fact, sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation through drugs that do not cause "permanent derangement" can still be used against detainees.
It won't make using the word torture when talking about this chapter of history uncontroversial either. When the Japanese waterboarded American prisoners of war, that was torture. The act of waterboarding did not change decades later when it was done to terrorism suspects by CIA officers. It was torture yet members of Congress and the media refuse to use appropriate language when recounting the CIA's criminal misconduct.
Finally, some of the reaction to Feinstein's remarks has been to call it hypocrisy. This is a senator who has used her position as chairman of the Senate intelligence committee to try and renew confidence in the National Security Agency after NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden's disclosures. She has dismissed outrage from Americans over the intrusive surveillance NSA is conducting on Americans' communications and yet she has either ignored or sought to justify it in remarks. Yet, now because the CIA was violating the privacy of senate staffers and having them criminally investigated for daring to challenge the agency by taking control of a draft of an internal review, she feels she must speak out against this kind of surveillance.
This reaction is understandable. It should be admitted, however, that Feinstein did what any senator in her position should have done. That is what made it remarkable. Someone who seems to be complacent toward the intelligence community actually took a stand. (It's exactly what this author had hoped to see but never thought would actually happen because this author did not believe Feinstein had the will to fight the CIA to ensure that even just parts of the torture study were declassified.)
Sen. Patrick Leahy was the only senator to take to the floor and show support for Feinstein. He said, "I've heard thousands of speeches on this floor. I cannot think of any speech by any member of either party as important as the one the senator from California just gave."
He recalled how his first vote in the Senate was for the Church Committee report that detailed excesses of the CIA, "everything from assassinations to spying on those who were protesting the war in Vietnam."
"If we do not stand up for protection of separation of powers and our ability to do oversight especially as conduct has happened that is all likelihood criminal conduct by the part of a government agency, than what do we stand for? We are supposed to be the conscience of a nation."
Many Americans believe the Congress will stand for anything from the national security state. These Americans believe the intelligence agencies have such control over Congress that they can get anything. These Americans believe members of Congress are not independent and are complicit in their support of abuses of power, which they stand ready to defend when agency officials come under scrutiny. And these Americans stand by extremely skeptical that Feinstein and the rest of the Senate intelligence committee will follow through and get this torture study even partly declassified for the American people to read so they can know more of the truth of what the CIA did in this country's name.

Heh. Another trick you could maybe have done was run KDE's
"Menu Updating Tool."
Under KDE 3.4 for Debian Sarge, it's under K->Settings.

The coloring and design of this top is literally perfect, but the sizing is horribly off. Super, super, super small. Make sure to size up at least 2 sizes for a comfortable fit. Purchased the size small and I am a petite 5"0, 31 year old. This could barely fit over my shoulders. Needed what felt like a large to be able to wear it.
I am 5'4 130lbs, 32DD and ordered this in a med and lg. The large fits very well (both top and bottom). Excellent support and coverage. The grippy bands work great, didn't fall out of top or bottom when swimming, diving or running after my kids. Nice print. Like it so much I ordered the purple too.
I wear a 32A bra/size 4 top and couldn't even get the XS on. I like the look of the suit, though, and will be exchanging it for a Small and hope it fits!
I love the design on this top.
per size chart, ordered a small and couldn't begin to get one shoulder in, much less head and other shoulder. I returned that one and ordered a large. The large feels almost as tiny as the small. I was, however, able to get into it. The large was to fit a size 40. I am 34 - 36. The bra breast area was fine, but the circumference I have to get into of the non adjustable material is almost painful to even attempt. I don't believe the size chart is written up correctly. The material, however, is very strong and comfortable on my body and I think it will last a long time. I'm not sure it I want to keep destroying my body to just put it on though.

"Nobody wanted to date these boys who didn't pass their physicals, and we called them "f-Fers." Now that
I think back, that was terrible. . . We all thought they were physically unfit to go and fight for our country. How awful!"

"When I started college in the fall of 1944, it was like a girls' school — 95 women and only five men students. During the second semester of my sophomore year, more male students were enrolled. By 1948 when I graduated, there were twice as many men as female students. During that first year, several of the girls dated high school seniors because to us the boys on campus were '4-F.' They needed a good reason for not being in the service to be respected by the girls."
— Wanda Mowry, Bayard High School student.

The Aging Mouth – Fat Injections for Volume Loss
Like the appearance of the back of one's hands, the mouth area can be a telltale sign of one's age. The best facelift ever done will do little for this expressive island of the central face. Focused treatment strategies must be applied to the lips and mouth. As their aging problems do not respond to other lifting and excisional tissue techniques that work well for the rest of the face.
What is it about the mouth are that makes it age? Most will think of an older mouth as one that looks 'shrunken and wrinkled', or at least is headed down that pathway. The lips thin, vertical wrinkle lines develop and the entire mouth seems smaller and less supported. While there are many factors that can contribute to this appearance, most pertinently the support and presence of the underlying teeth, the visual perception of volume loss certainly seems to be a major factor.
In the July 2009 issue of the journal Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, a published study identified one of the major issues of facial aging, fat loss. As a continuum of their ongoing and longitudinal anatomical studies of facial fat and what happens to it as we age, they have studied the submuscular fat compartments of the mouth. (perioral facial region) Cross-sectional anatomic sections were analyzed of older cadavers, ages 59 to 72. The highlights of their work demonstrated that there is fat deep to the sphincteric orbicularis oris muscles of the lip[and large vertical-oriented mentalis muscle that envelopes the chin. This fat layer is distinct from that which exists just under the skin of the chin or the mucosa and vermilion of the lips. It is postulated that loss of this fat contributes to lip 'collapse' (inversion) and deepening of the labiomental sulcus with aging.
How does this information help with mouth and perioral rejuvenation methods? It strongly suggests that the traditional techniques of laser resurfacing for wrinkles and augmentation of the vermilion-cutaneous borders of the lips alone is not a comprehensive approach. Neither treats one of the fundamental causes but is directed to the symptoms of the aging problem. It also suggests and explains why some augmented lips by injectable fillers may look unnatural and not ideally rejuvenated.
While increasing the visible lip roll (vermilion-cutaneous border) is the most common area where injectable fillers are placed, it misses one of the important areas of what creates a youthful lip. The wet-dry border, or rolling out or exposing of the wet-dry mucosa, is one of the signs of a fuller and more youthful lip. As the authors of this paper have pointed out, adequate volume of the submuscular fat can help recreate a more natural curvature and projection of the lips.
These deeper fat compartments of the lip and chin are not areas that are injected today by most practitioners. Besides an underappreciation of its significance is that their treatment requires a good local anesthetic block and a fair amount of injection filler volume to do so. That is a rate-limited step for some patients, particularly when the effect may only be temporary.
But in the operating room and as part of a more complete facial rejuvenation surgery, fat injections to the submuscular perioral compartments make more sense and is easy to do. While injectable fat is not always predictable, placement into deeper submuscular areas may be associated with better survival rates.

Where is it from?
- A User Melbourne, Australia
- B User South Yarra, Australia
Telegraph Register - Siemens Brothers, Inking, Victorian Telegraph Service, circa 1860s Reg. No: ST 022098
- Summary:
- Telegraph inking register for receiving and recording telegraph signals.
In operation, the intermittent current generated by the received signals causes a small rotating wheel to be intermittently pressed on to a moving paper tape. The wheel is partially immersed in a small container of ink. The rotating wheel carries the ink to the paper and produces a series of long and short marks on the tape, with the length of each mark depending on whether the duration of the current flow is long (producing a dash) or short (producing a dot.)
The register carries the marks of the Victorian Telegraphic Service, which operated the telegraph system in Victoria from 1856 to 1869. It was used at Melbourne Observatory.
- Description:
- Object consists of a metal base at one end of which are two vertical wire coils forming electromagnets which are energised by the electrical signal received over the telegraph line. The rest of the base is occupied by a brass case housing the mechanism by which paper tape is moved past a small wheel at the end of a pivoted arm which moves in response to the electromagnets. The wheel is partially immersed in ink held in a small rectangular container, so that when the wheel is in contact with the tape, ink is carried on to the tape as the wheel rotates. The tape is supplied from a reel mounted above the register on a metal arm. The mechanism to move the tape is powered by a spring within the brass case which can be wound up using a key on a central square shaft.

|While Allen Toussaint and Wynton Marsalis came to represent the public face of the New Orleans cultural revival after Hurricane Katrina, it was Fats Domino who may have provided the most inspiration for the troubled city. A lifelong resident of the famous Lower Ninth Ward, Domino was feared dead when his whereabouts were unknown following the disaster. Thankfully, Domino survived, insuring that far more than just his memory would serve to inspire the people of the Crescent City.
|GOIN' HOME, a star-studded tribute to the Fat Man, arrived during the second anniversary of Katrina, and featured the likes of Tom Petty, BB King, Elton John, Willie Nelson, and Robert Plant taking on a host of Domino classics. Stand out tracks include a ska-tinged "Let the Four Winds Blow" from Toots and the Maytals, Robert Plant's gentle, slow-burning "It Keeps Raining," Neil Young's surprisingly lush "Walkin' to New Orleans," and Irma Thomas and Marcia Balls's funky, defiant "I Just Can't Get New Orleans Off My Mind." GOIN' HOME was released by Tipitina's Foundation with all proceeds going to the music programs of local public schools.

Forster has been hailed as one of the best young keepers around and is being tracked by several of Europe's top clubs.
"It's going to be impossible to keep Fraser the way he's playing," Lennon told PLZ Soccer's radio show. "Inevitably, I think a huge club will come in and make a huge bid for him.
"Sometimes it is very frustrating as a manager, as you are trying to build something, you are trying to progress the club but it is a huge compliment about what we have done over the past two or three years and it has really put the club on the map again.
"People might say I am biased but over the last two seasons in the Champions League he has proved at the highest level that he's a fantastic goalkeeper and he's still only 24.
"For a keeper who is still so young. He's got so much more to come.
"The way he's playing at the minute and the fact he's knocking on the door to be England's No.1 playing in the Scottish league, that speaks volumes for his talent."

It does this by carrying out checks on the tour operators and travel organisers it licenses, and requiring them to take part in a financial guarantee scheme managed by the Air Travel Trust (ATT) which provides the funds to protect customers should a firm fail. In some cases a licence holder will also provide a bond, which is lodged with the ATT and provides additional funds.
If a tour operator goes out of business, the CAA will ensure you do not lose the money you paid over, or if you're abroad, we'll arrange for you to finish your holiday and fly home.
Many of the flights and flight-inclusive holidays on this website are financially protected by the ATOL scheme. But ATOL protection does not apply to all holiday and travel services listed on this website. Please ask us to confirm what protection may apply to your booking. If you do not receive an ATOL Certificate then the booking will not be ATOL protected. If you do receive an ATOL Certificate but all the parts of your trip are not listed on it, those parts will not be ATOL protected. Please see our booking conditions for information, or for more information about financial protection and the ATOL Certificate go to: www.atol.org.uk/ ATOLCertificate

As a member of the Association of Bonded Travel Organisers Trust Limited (ABTOT), Lawrence of Morocco Limited has provided a bond to meet the requirements of the Package Travel, Package Holidays and Package Tours Regulations 1992.
In the event of Lawrence of Morocco Limited's insolvency, protection is provided for non-flight packages commencing in and returning to the UK and other non-flight packages excluding pre arranged travel to and from your destination. Please note that packages booked outside the UK are only protected when purchased directly with Lawrence of Morocco Limited.

Castro dictatorship steps up repression
With the Castro dictatorship stepping up its violent repression on the island, the website Hablalo Sin Miedo has become an invaluable tool for Cuba's peaceful opposition. With a simple phone call, they can report the brutal repression of the Castro dictatorship by leaving a recorded message.
Here is the first of two of the latest reports (my translation):
Message from José Daniel Ferrer García regarding imminent detention of various activists in Palmarito de Cauto - 25 of May at 3:44 PM
This is Jose Daniel Ferrer Garcia speaking. 100 meters from us the political police is waiting for us. We are three activist in Palmarita de Cauto who were arriving in the town of La Concepcion for an activity at the Boitel and Zapata Live conference. We are going to be detained within moments. This is the most probable. For more information, call the activists from Palma Soriano.
End of message.
And here is the second one:
Message from Tania Montoya Vázquez regarding act of repudiation in the town of La Concepción - 25 of May at 4:58 PM
This is Tania Montoya Vazquez speaking. I am the wife of the former political prisoner Raumel Vinajera Stevens. I am here in the town of La Concepcion, San Luis Road #13, we are being victimized by a ferocious act of repudiation by the repressive apparatus of the Castro police. You can call at +5353146329.
End of message.

Appeals court: RIM violated patentsDecember 14, 2004
RIM disclosed the amount as part of its statement of first-quarter financial results. It is currently negotiating settlement terms in a licensing pact, potentially worth $450 million, with the Virginia-based patent-holding company.
A federal appeals court ruled last year that RIM had infringed on NTP's intellectual property. The two sides were hammering out terms as part of a March 16 agreement when the talks broke down earlier this month. Details haven't been made public, but the U.S. Patent Trademark Office is currently reviewing the conditions of the eight patents in question that NTP owns.
Waterloo, Ontario-based RIM has been able to continue selling its wireless BlackBerry devices in the United States while a federal court of appeals reviews the case. The court is expected to send the case back to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia for consideration.
Despite the legal wrangling, RIM is toasting a milestone. The company said in its earnings statement that its subscriber base has pushed past the 3 million mark, thanks to the addition of 592,000 members in the first quarter, ended May 28.
RIM also reported its first-quarter revenue hit $453.9 million, up 12 percent compared with the previous quarter. The breakdown in revenue was approximately 69 percent for handhelds, 17 percent for service, 11 percent for software and 3 percent for other revenue, the company said.
RIM's shares closed at $75.91, down 69 cents or almost 1 percent on the previous day's close.

Malaysian Insider / KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 9 — Non-Malays' "low spirit of patriotism" is a key reason for their low presence in the military, the defence ministry responded today in Parliament. It added an aversion for discipline as another reason.
Defence Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, in a written reply to Setiu MP Datuk Mohd Jidin Shafee, revealed that non-Malays made up only 1.2 per cent of 2008/2009 recruitment. Bumiputeras made up 98.2 per cent.
"The total intake for 2008/2009 is 9054 officers — 8151 (90 per cent) which are Malays, 26 (0.29 per cent) who are Chinese, 82 (0.91 per cent) who are Indians and 795 (8.8 per cent) who are Bumiputeras from Sabah and Sarawak," said Ahmad Zahid.
The Defence Minister promised there are no racial quotas in recruitment, only based on "interest, eligibility and willingness."
"The ministry finds that the participation of non-Malays especially among the Chinese and Indians are still lacking," said Ahmad Zahid.
The Minister then cited a host of reasons as to the lack of non-Malay participation in the army, including "a possible perception that the armed forces offers a lower pay than the private sector."
"The reasons (for the low participation of non-Malays) could be because of a fear towards a tight discipline. It could be because of a low spirit of patriotism. It could be because certain ethnic groups had a negative perception of the armed forces and did not encourage participation," said the minister.-------------------------------------
Some of the comments left by the readers were enlightening, worth repeating here:
nvictus · 46 minutes ago
There was a time when the top echelons of Military & Police Force was dominated by the Non-Malays......so what happenned? All of them suddenly became less patriotic because they are paid less money or all non-malays brought up to be less disciplined...... ha ha ha.
Zahid Hamidi needs to come up with a way better answer than that......................or he is blind & deaf to the obvious. Being passed over for promotion is the single biggest reason for non-malays to shun the civil service/military/police............because u feel like a 3rd class citizen. So the next question that comes to every non-malay's mind is why must the non-malay be patriotic when the country treats them like garbage....................................go figure.
Once before · 47 minutes agoAiyaa...you guys commented too much on racial issues.....just joined and feel it for yourself...if you cannot stand the hardships in military...the tough discipline..saya yang menurut arahan....short recruit hair.....wake 5.30am every day for subuh prayers....dont dream of joining.....even many malays cannot tahan the sudden change of lifestyle and ran away from the service...i've spend 2 years in military camps during my study at Sg. Besi...We never distinguish skin colours...because we are brothers until today...
JF7 · 50 minutes ago
Personally, I am willing to die protecting the country and do not mind joining the army if we are at war, but during peaceful times like this, I am just another civil servant that serves the country, faithfully, with 100% love for Malaysia no matter what other people would say about this country.

Maybe they don't want to board a plane which do not have engine. Or maybe they don't want to board a submarine which cannot dive.
Alan Goh · 2 hours ago
fear of discipline are the 2 main reasons non-malays are shying off from joining
military.Please be honest and factual when you made such comment.What about
lack of promotional prospect to the top due to racial barriers and lastly,to implement meritocracy and leadership qualities for future promotions,perhaps you will see a rise in non-malays joining the civil service...
What would be a more correct answer?
1) Perception - The perception that the military is not an absolute and transparent meritocracy. No one in their right mind would enlist because to get somewhere in the military, it has to be a career. Would you be prepared to put in 15-20 years when you have no confidence that its a meritocracy?
2) Even If Its A Meritocratic System - Even so, the pay scale is not enticing. Now, if you make it a meritocratic system, and adjust wages and benefits to RM2,500 for grads, 5 years in RM6,000, Leftenan RM8,000, Captain RM10,000, Major RM14,000, Leftenan General RM20,000, etc... plus life pension on 60% of last drawn pay. If you have that, you will have plenty aspiring to be in the army.
3) Patriotism & Peace - We are in peaceful times, you cannot generalise that not taking the military option would be unpatriotic. We all want a better life for our families, and have a career with genuine prospects. I think if we were attacked, give everyone the right training and weaponry, we'd be happy to fight the enemy as well.

30 Beautiful Photographs of Cities from Around the World
Cities are incredible. If you take a moment and think about how fast our technology evolved in the last 200 years, you'll be amazed. The evolution of mankind has skyrocketed as well as the need for Earth's resources. Essentially we're a bunch of ants on a rock that's floating in space, which is inside a galaxy that is inside a thing called the Universe… I mean, it's pretty wild if you stop to think about it.
What's even crazier is that we're constantly breaking technological boundaries. One of those boundaries are cities. As of January, 2014, it's estimated that there are more than 7.2 billion humans living on Earth. More people equals more cities, and more cities means that more resources must be utilized to sustain those cities.
City growth creates all sorts of extra problems:
- How will everybody fit in this confined area?
- Will we need to expand?
- How much more food will we need to import for these people?
- How much electricity will the entire city use?
- What about public transportation?
- The list goes on and on.
Cities aren't perfect, they will always have their own problems. Just like humans.
Humans used to be nomads. Technically without farming, cities would never be possible. So from time to time, try to be thankful that you live in a world where somebody out there is growing the food you're supposed to be growing yourself. Essentially they're keeping you alive, so you can be and do whatever you want.
The bottom line is that human progress and technology are developing at exponential rates. Maybe in the future we can have robots growing our food while we party like it's 1999… Fingers crossed.
Sometimes I feel like I want to go back to the nomadic lifestyle and visit some of these great cities before I die. They're all beautifully complex and fascinate me to great degrees. Just like our finger prints, each city is unique in it's own way. It has various buildings, sidewalks, different people, different stores, street widths, surrounding areas, views, altitude, weather, etc.
Today I collected some of my favorite cities from around the world. I hope you'll find them inspirational. Enjoy!

A quick daily look at what's happening around Steelers Nation. And consider this your open thread for discussing the days events and, well, anything else that comes to mind about the Black and Gold.
– Well, it's here. Sort of. It's officially Super Bowl week and we're now into the home stretch. The Packers hardly practiced last week and seemed to be more concerned about their team picture than the Championship game they're about to play this week. Sign of a team that's never been on this stage before? Does any of it matter? (Probably not).
– Speaking of the Packers, their victory celebration is already planned if you guys were interested in checking that out. Even better: The city and the fans are arguing about the plans and what should be done instead. Talk about putting the cart in front of the horse. [Green Bay Press Gazette]
– The latest on the Maurkice Pouncey injury front. [Pro Football Talk]
– Cowboys fans wish their team could be the Steelers. [Dallas Morning News]
– And for your random YouTube of the day: What does another deep run in the postseason from the Steelers bring? Excitement? Fun? Hype? All of that, yes, but it also brings more songs. Take, for example, In The Name Of Cope, a play on U2′s Pride (In The Name Of Love). It's worth a listen just to hear random clips of Myron going crazy…

Good point. I'm working on a sheet that will be placed on the wall next
to the computer. I already make note that using the system mgiht not be
safe, due to cookies, cache, wireless sniffing, etc. I think I'll put
a BIG disclaimer on the SSH pop-up, as well.

Of course. I'm only providing it as a tool. I want it to be as
benign to the security of the LOCAL system as possible, though, hence the
IceWM -> Perl script -> Xterm -> SSH trick I put together, with Ken Herron's
Once I'm done toying with the system, I'll disable SSH connections into the
box, as a precaution. (Right now, I can get to it from my laptop when I'm
in the cafe, which is useful for admin & testing while other people use it,
or the owner's kid plays games :^) He's 8, so I doubt he'll figure out
any kind of local root exploits ;^) ... then again. <:^o )

Yeah. Scary :^| Maybe we should come up with a disclaimer, too.
"Use this computer at your own risk! Chamonix and LUGOD are not
responsible, blah blah blah." Might need to think about PacBell,
since I believe they provide the DSL here. Hrmm...

Yeah. Right now, they'd have to guess/hack passwords, or wipe the CMOS
(remove battery or hit jumpers). In either case, that involves popping the
case open, and I doubt that would go unnoticed. :^)
Might make sense to look into a lock for the case, though...

Yikes. Any recommendations? While in my mind, I say "that'll never happen,"
there is such thing as egg on faces. :^)

Can you explain these a little? Based on how we're launching SSH
(see Ken's Perl script), is there anything to be concerned about?

I've done my best to keep users from getting shell access. The GUI provides
no way to run a terminal. The guest account is password protected, so
noone should be able to get in via console or GDM (which comes up sometimes,
depending on whether X/icewm die appropriately; a bug I need to look into).

Again, duly noted, and I'll put up a big disclaimer. :^)

Pick a date. We can find a ride for you, I'm sure. Sterba, perhaps? >:^)
(It'd have to be on a Monday, in that case.)

Really, the point was to provide a web browser so that people without
laptops could get on the 'net while in the cafe.
Linux was just the obivous choice (relatively secure, relatively easy to
lock down, free, relatively stable, runs well on old hardware).

Not a solution here, unfortunately. However, it's an interesting idea.
I'd love to hear more about it. :^)

Healthy Uses For Aloe Vera Juice
Aloe Vera Juice for Health
Aloe vera juice is a healthy supplement consumed as a drink. While many know about the properties of this plant when used for sunburn or dry skin they may not know about its supplement benefits. There are several reasons to drink the product in order to improve one's health.
The juices are gathered from the leaves of a plant which grows wild in Africa and provides many different uses in products today. They are said to have several healthy benefits. They can help people who suffer from frequent constipation to have fewer problems.
Drinking this healthy liquid may also help people who are attempting to lose weight. It is thought to speed up the digestive process. The foods one consumes travel through the system with greater speed. This reduces the calories which are absorbed. In addition, the healthy amino acids contained in the drink can aid the metabolic processes.
The liquid supplement is also thought to prevent infections from certain bacterial processes. This proves especially important for the digestive tract. This particular claim is not yet proven and more research needs to be completed in the matter.
Gastrointestinal problems may also be reduced with this drink. It offers a soothing aid to the digestive process. This makes it effective as an aid in healing of stomach ulcers.
Published reports say the beverage provides powerful amino acids for the body. These acids are effective for cleansing the system. Many people find the supplement to be useful in detoxing their liver and colon.
There are many reasons one should try aloe vera juice for better health. Avoid large amounts on a daily basis as it can result in digestive upsets. In addition, a few people have reported allergic reactions. If you face concerns, take time to consult with a doctor before adding this or any new supplement.
