Here at Oneplanet Adventure, we take great care of our Demo Fleet as we see it as a key feature of our shop and what we have to offer. We only choose the best and most suitable bikes for our trails and what we have to offer in the UK.
We pride ourselves on the service we offer to each customer and the skills and expertise' we have when it comes to our bike range. Our Demo Fleet is always changing and evolving, this allows fresh models and bikes to come into action allowing customers to try new bikes all year round. Each 'Demo' is trailered to the customer, with this the bike has a separate set up each time a different rider jumps on it. So when it comes to the ride the bike is how you would have your new bike.
As stated above our Demo Fleet is always evolving, this means we are always selling our demo bikes. The price is forever changing because we reduce price of the bike every time is goes out. The question is how long do you wait to buy it? It could be gone by next week…
With every bike sale offer our all NEW Bike Sale's Package:
Invisiframe included, which cost's £130.00. This has already been fitted to bike free of charge to help protect the frame.
Please Note: If stated as a 'Current Demo Bike' this means it's still in action, once we receive the order for the bike. This automatically gets retired and it then goes into the workshop to get refurbished. Any parts that are excessively worn will be replaced at no extra cost and the bike will be ready to rock!

The 5010 is the most fun you can have on two off-road wheels, and Danny MacAskill's wee bike of choice. Turning trails into pumptracks and logs into launches this bike begs to spend as much time above the ground as on it.
A laser sharp, agile trail whip that turns on a dime and loves to pop and play. The 130mm-travel 5010 sports short chainstays and a low BB for a uniquely playful character and an insatiable appetite for negotiating steep, technical climbs. When it's time to descend, the bike's 66.2/66.5-degree head tube angle (adjusted via flip chip) and generous reach/short stem combo equate to precise, confident handling.
This short-travel pocket rocket is packaged to be fast and nimble yet tough enough to take a beating. From dirt to rocky tech, 4X to BMX, this bike doesn't give a XXXX what you do with it.
The 5010's balance and poise makes takes riders from uncertain neophyte to fledging flyboy. While some bikes are good at going up and down the 5010 is a bike that's great at going up, down, left, right, triangle, square, up, up, up and away!
The upper-link driven shock VPP suspension is configured to be sharp and responsive. A firm beginning stroke makes for a responsive, snappy pedaling and provides support for small bump, bump-jump playfulness, while the progressive curve offers the bottom-out resistance to make it feel like there's a lot more travel than there actually is.
There's also more than enough tire clearance to run just about any size tire. We spec a variety of tire/rim combos, including 2.6-inch tires on Reserve 37 rims because we feel it's the sweet spot of rock crawling traction and sportiness, but there's room to run 2.8-inch tires if that's your thing.
It's considered the deep cut in the Santa Cruz range by the riders, like Danny MacAskill, who really know. While people busily overbike, 5010 owners get to the source. It's the thrasher's tool.

Officers Cleared In Mason Man's Death
Man Fell, Fractured Skull After Shock From Stun Gun
Two police officers were cleared of wrongdoing Wednesday in the death of a Mason man who died after he was shocked by a Taser.
Investigators said 39-year-old Douglas Boucher fell and fractured his skull Dec. 13 after struggling with officers.
Prosecutors said Patrolmen Daniel Fry and Sean McCormick did not commit a crime when they used a Taser stun gun to subdue Boucher.
Police said Boucher verbally harassed a gas station employee after he was involved in a hit-and-run crash near his apartment, and officers said he refused to leave the gas station after they ordered him to do so.
Boucher struggled with officers outside as they attempted to handcuff him, police said, and authorities said he struck one officer on the head with his cuffed hand.
Another officer fired the electronic stun gun at Boucher as he attempted chase one officer, police said.
Boucher fell to the ground and stopped breathing, police said, and he was taken to West Chester Medical Center, where he died.

Why I don't rent movies
Three associations of rental movies stores, one Portuguese, one Spanish and one French, joined efforts and created an "anti-piracy civil movement". While I could argue that "civil" is a bad word to describe such movement, this wouldn't catch my eye for long, but it did, since they created that movement for the purpose of getting the Telecoms Package to be approved by the EU Council without the emend 138 (that states that whatever the Package says, personal rights should not be trumped over), and they actually managed to get what they wanted. Anyway, when confronted about how bad for European citizens it would be if the amend was dropped, they failed to justify why they don't like it, and instead mumbled over and over about piracy piracy financial losses piracy piracy piracy... I tried, for three days, to get them talking about 138, and why they don't want that, but instead of getting a justification, I've heard tons of things about piracy and how bad their business was.
During the discussion, and because they felt that I must be pro-piracy (which I actually am not) because I don't agree with them, they tried to confront me by asking a curious thing: what was the last time I rented a movie?
Now, more sober from the discussion, I started to think more about that question. There are lot's of people that never really were into renting movies, but that's not my case. My reply was something like "for years", but now, thinking more about it, I can say with some certainty that the last movie I rent was more or less four years ago. Why?
Well, I lived in Lamego in my youth, and there I never was really into renting movies. The offer there was poor (and last time I checked it was even worse), so there was really no point in spending money and rent a movie when I could spend the less drinking beer, hanging out, or even acting like a potato couch and seeing silly TV shows. When I moved to Coimbra all was different. Specially in my first years there, I was quite addicted in cultural stuff: almost every day I had a concert to see, a theatre play to attend, and exposition to watch, a movie to see. I spent lots of money in one of the cinema's there, where I usually watched all the movies that were shown in that venue. Also, I used to attend to every thing that was going on the Academic Theatre (TAGV): mainly movies, plays or concerts. And I also started renting movies, specially when with friends: we would get a couple of movies, crash in someone's house, and do a "movie party". Life started getting busier and busier, but it wasn't uncommon to see me browsing in Tintarella's shelves, since that particular movies rental store had a quite nice stock of recent and good alternative movies, European cinema and science fiction, and a catchy section with weekly highlights. In my latest years in Coimbra, sometimes I was found in the middle of the night with a couple of friends on the multimedia room of one University department, watching a just-rented movie.
Then I came to the big city of Lisbon, and I never rented a movie again. Do you think it is my fault? First I lived in Carnaxide, now I really live in Lisbon. I know where a/the movies rental store in Carnaxide is: I went there exactly three times, sold there used CDs, bought there one second-hand CD, and their movies selection was... unattractive. I live in "real Lisbon" for almost three years now. And I never saw a movies rental shop.
Now, do you really think that it is my fault that I never rented a movie anymore? Is it caused by piracy? No way. I don't rent movies because I don't have the habit of doing so, I don't know any rental store and I don't feel any urge of finding one. If you take into account that I used to be a client of that kind of stores, their "industry" lost a client. They did not know how to keep me. They failed as business people. They did a bad job. They are doing a bad job. They can throw rocks to piracy, freedom, rights, or anything they like. They might even get the chance to implement any laws and regulations they dream of. They will never have a successful business until they realise and admit their flaws and mistakes. Hurting people is not a way of making them your clients. Slowly, really slowly, the music industry is starting to learn their lesson. Movies rental businesses should too.

Marpa::R2::Semantics - How Marpa evaluates parses
my $grammar = Marpa::R2::Grammar->new(
{ start => 'Expression',
actions => 'My_Actions',
default_action => 'first_arg',
rules => [
{ lhs => 'Expression', rhs => [qw/Term/] },
{ lhs => 'Term', rhs => [qw/Factor/] },
{ lhs => 'Factor', rhs => [qw/Number/] },
{ lhs => 'Term', rhs => [qw/Term Add Term/], action => 'do_add' },
{ lhs => 'Factor',
rhs => [qw/Factor Multiply Factor/],
action => 'do_multiply'
sub My_Actions::do_add {
my ( undef, $t1, undef, $t2 ) = @_;
return $t1 + $t2;
sub My_Actions::do_multiply {
my ( undef, $t1, undef, $t2 ) = @_;
return $t1 * $t2;
sub My_Actions::first_arg { shift; return shift; }
my $value_ref = $recce->value;
my $value = $value_ref ? ${$value_ref} : 'No Parse';
Marpa's semantics will be familiar to those who have used traditional methods to evaluate parses. A parse is seen as a parse tree. Nodes on the tree are evaluated recursively, bottom-up. Once the values of all its child nodes are known, a parent node is ready to be evaluated. The value of a parse is the value of the top node of the parse tree.
Marpa's semantics operate on the application's original rules and symbols. The internals of the parser are hidden from the semantics. Nodes in Marpa's virtual parse trees are of three kinds:
Token Nodes, which have a constant semantics, initialized when the token is read.
Rule Nodes, which have a dynamic semantics, based on action names and actions, as described below.
Null Nodes, which have a constant semantics, initialized when the recognizer is created.
Action names and actions
When a Marpa grammar is created, its dynamic semantics is specified indirectly, as action names. To implement its semantics of action names and actions, Marpa must do three things:
Determine the action name.
Resolve the action name to an action. An action is a Perl closure.
Call the Perl closure to produce the actual result.
An action name and action is also used to create the per-parse-tree variable, as described below. The per-parse-tree variable is a special case, but it is intended to be used as part of the semantics.
Token nodes
For every input token, there is an associated token node. Token nodes are leaf nodes in the parse tree. Tokens always have a token symbol. At lexing time, they can be assigned a token value. If no token value is assigned at lex time, the token value has an arbitrary value. In the Marpa documents, an "arbitrary value" is one that may vary from instance to instance, and cannot be relied on in any way.
Rule nodes
Nodes which are ancestors of token nodes are called rule nodes. Rule nodes are always associated with a rule. The value of a rule node is computed at Node Evaluation Time. Applications can specify, on a per-rule basis, Perl closures to evaluate rule nodes. The Perl closures which produce the value of rule nodes are called value actions.
A value action's arguments will be a per-parse-tree variable followed by the values of its child nodes in lexical order. The return value of a value action becomes the value of the node. A value action is always evaluated in scalar context. If there is no value action for a rule node, the value of the rule node is a Perl
Sequence rule nodes
Some rules are sequence rules. Sequence rule nodes are also rule nodes. Everything said above about rule nodes applies to sequence rule nodes. Specifically, the arguments to the value actions for sequence rules are the per-parse-tree variable followed by the values of the child nodes in lexical order.
The difference (and it is a big one) is that in an ordinary rule, the right hand side is fixed in length, and that length is known when you are writing the code for the value action. In a sequence rule, the number of right hand side symbols is not known until node evaluation time. The value action of a sequence rule node must be a Perl closure capable of dealing with a variable number of arguments.
Sequence semantics work best when every child node in the sequence has the same semantics. When that is not the case, writing the sequence using ordinary non-sequence rules should be considered as an alternative.
By default, if a sequence rule has separators, the separators are thrown away before the value action is called. This means that separators do not appear in the
@_ array of the Perl closure which is the value action. If the value of the
keep rule property is a Perl true value, separators are kept, and do appear in the value action's
@_ array.
Null nodes
A null node is a node which derives the zero-length, or empty string. By default, the value of a null node is arbitrary. This is adequate for many applications, but Marpa allows other values to be specified for null nodes. In fact, Marpa allows allows an arbitrarily complex null semantics. Readers interested in null nodes with values other than
undef, or who would like to read a more detailed account of how Marpa's null semantics works, should turn to the document on null semantics.
Most applications will find that the order in which Marpa executes its semantics "just works". This section describes that order in detail. These details can matter in some applications, for example, those which exploit side effects.
Parse trees, parse results and parse series
When the semantics are applied to a parse tree, it produces a value called a parse result. Because Marpa allows ambiguous parsing, each parse can produce a parse series -- a series of zero or more parse trees, each with its own parse result. The first call to the the recognizer's
value method after the recognizer is created is the start of the first parse series. The first parse series continues until there is a call to the the
reset_evaluation method or until the recognizer is destroyed. Usually, an application is only interested in a single parse series.
When the
reset_evaluation method is called for a recognizer, it begins a new parse series. The new parse series continues until there is another call to the the
reset_evaluation method, or until the recognizer is destroyed.
Summary of the phases
While processing a recognizer, we have
A Recognizer Setup Phase, which occurs during the call of a recognizer's
newmethod. It is followed by
the processing of zero or more parse series.
While processing a parse series, we have:
A Series Setup Phase, which occurs during the first call of the recognizer's
valuemethod for that series. It is followed by
the processing of zero or more parse trees.
While processing a parse tree, we have:
A Tree Setup Phase, which occurs during the call of the recognizer's
valuemethod for that parse tree. It is followed by
a Tree Traveral Phase.
Node Evaluation Time is the Tree Traversal Phase, as seen from the point of view of each rule node. It is not a separate phase.
Recognizer Setup Phase
In the Recognizer Setup Phase, the null values of the symbols are determined. The null values of symbols never change -- they are in effect properties of the grammar.
Series Setup Phase
During the Series Setup Phase all value action names are resolved to Perl closures -- the value actions. The value actions are never called in the Series Setup Phase. Value actions are called in the Tree Traversal Phase. Also during the Series Setup Phase, the logic which ranks parse trees is executed.
Tree Setup Phase
In the Tree Setup Phase, the per-parse-tree variable is created. If a constructor was found for the
action_object, it is run at this point, and the per-parse-tree variable is its return value. Exactly one Tree Setup Phase occurs for each parse tree.
Tree Traversal Phase
During the Tree Traversal Phase, the value actions are called. Node Evaluation Time is the Tree Traversal Phase, as seen from the point of view of the individual nodes of the parse tree. If a node has a value action, it is called at Node Evaluation Time.
Marpa finds the action for each rule based on rule and symbol properties and on the grammar named arguments. Specifically, Marpa attempts the following, in order:
Resolving an action based on the
actionproperty of the rule, if one is defined.
Resolving an action based on the
lhsproperty of the rule.
Resolving an action based on the
default_actionnamed argument of the grammar, if one is defined.
Defaulting to a virtual action, one which returns a Perl
Resolution of action names is described below. If the
action property or the
default_action named argument is defined, but does not resolve successfully, Marpa throws an exception. Marpa prefers to "fast fail" in these cases, because they often indicate a mistake in writing the application.
Action names come from these sources:
default_actionnamed argument of Marpa's grammar.
actionproperty of Marpa's rules.
newconstructor in the package specified by the
action_objectnamed argument of the Marpa grammar.
lhsproperty of Marpa's rules.
Explicit resolution
The recognizer's
closures named argument allows the user to directly control the mapping from action names to actions. The value of the
closures named argument is a reference to a hash whose keys are action names and whose hash values are CODE refs.
If an action name is the key of an entry in the
closures hash, it resolves to the closure referenced by the value part of that hash entry. Resolution via the
closures named argument is called explicit resolution.
When explicit resolution is the only kind of resolution that is wanted, it is best to pick a name that is very unlikely to be the name of a Perl closure. Many of Marpa::HTML's action names are intended for explicit resolution only. In Marpa::HTML those action names begin with an exclamation mark ("!"), and that convention is recommended.
Fully qualified action names
If explicit resolution fails, Marpa transforms the action name into a fully qualified Perl name. An action name that contains a double colon ("
::") or a single quote ("
'") is considered to be a fully qualified name. Any other action name is considered to be a bare action name.
If the action name to be resolved is already a fully qualified name, it is not further transformed. It will be resolved in the form it was received, or not at all.
For bare action names, Marpa tries to qualify them by adding a package name. If the
actions grammar named argument is defined, Marpa uses it as the package name. Otherwise, if the
action_object grammar named argument is defined, Marpa uses it as the package name. Once Marpa has fully qualified the action name, Marpa looks for a Perl closure with that name.
Marpa will not attempt to resolve an action name that it cannot fully qualify. This implies that, for an action name to resolve successfully, one of these four things must be the case:
The action name resolves explicitly.
The action name is fully qualified to begin with.
actionsnamed argument is defined.
action_objectnamed argument is defined.
In all but one circumstance, failure to resolve an action name is thrown as an exception. Marpa is more lenient when a rule attempts to use the
lhs rule property as an action name. That is the one case in which Marpa will look at other alternatives.
Marpa's philosophy is to require that the programmer be specific about action names. This can be an inconvenience, but Marpa prefers this to silently executing unintended code.
Generally it is a good practice to keep the semantic Perl closures in their own namespace. But if, for example, the user wants to leave the semantic closures in the
main namespace, she can specify
"main" as the value of the
actions named argument.
In the Tree Setup Phase, Marpa creates a per-parse-tree variable. This becomes the first argument of the semantic Perl closures for the rule nodes. If the grammar's
action_object named argument is not defined, the per-parse-tree variable is initialized to an empty hash ref.
Most data for the value actions of the rules will be passed up the parse tree. The actions will see the values of the rule node's child nodes as arguments, and will return their own value to be seen as an argument by their parent node. The per-parse-tree variable can be used for data which does not conveniently fit this model.
The lifetime of the per-parse-tree variable extends into the Tree Traversal Phase. During the Tree Traversal Phase, Marpa's internals never alter the per-parse-tree variable -- it is reserved for use by the application.
Action object constructor
If the grammar's
action_object named argument has a defined value, that value is treated as the name of a class. The action object constructor is the
new method in the
action_object class.
The action object constructor is called in the Tree Setup Phase. The return value of the action object constructor becomes the per-parse-tree variable. It is a fatal error if the grammar's
action_object named argument is defined, but does not name a class with a
new method.
Resolution of the action object constructor is resolution of the action object constructor name. The action object constructor name is formed by concatenating the literal string "
::new" to the value of the
action_object named argument.
All standard rules apply when resolving the action object constructor name. In particular, bypass via explicit resolution applies to the action object constructor. If the action object constructor name is a hash key in the evaluator's
closures named argument, then the value referred to by that hash entry becomes the action object constructor.
If a grammar has both the
action and the
action_object named arguments defined, all action names except for the action object constructor will be resolved in the
action package or not at all. The action object constructor is always in the
action_object class, if it is anywhere.
If a parse is ambiguous, all parses are returned, with no duplication. By default, the order is arbitrary, but it is also possible to control the order. Details are in the document on parse order.
Marpa allows grammars with infinite loops. These are universally considered useless in practical applications. Marpa supports all the semantics for these that should be necessary and more. Because it can handle infinite loops, Marpa can accurately claim to support every grammar that can be written in BNF.
Marpa applies semantics to infinite loops by breaking the loop at some convenient point, so that an infinite regress is prevented. The exact location at which the loop is broken varies among Marpa implementations. If an infinite loop is given a null semantics, the location of the break will not matter. A null semantics is the default.
More could be done. In particular, a precise definition of where loops are broken would allow applications to depend on the details of the structure of infinite loops. But practical interest in this seems non-existent. For those who want to know more, the details are in a separate document.

Investigating air pollution risks for pedestrians and cyclists
Although active forms of travel such as bicycling and walking provide many health benefits, they may also increase travelers' exposure to air pollution—especially in urban areas, where the air pollutants that drive health concerns are typically at their highest concentrations.
Hankey's instrumented trailer measured the air at "breathing" height rather than at tailpipe level.
To investigate the exposure of cyclists and pedestrians to these pollutants in the City of Minneapolis, researchers from the U of M's Department of Civil Engineering (CE) are developing a block-by-block analysis of air pollution levels. In a presentation at the 24th Annual CTS Transportation Research Conference on May 23, graduate student Steve Hankey explained how this information could ultimately be used to identify high-risk locations and shape decisions about new nonmotorized infrastructure. The project is funded by the U of M's College of Science and Engineering and the Humphrey School of Public Affairs.
In summer 2012, Hankey collected particulate air pollution measurements in Minneapolis using an instrumented bicycle trailer as he rode around the city on three 20-mile routes. Each route captured different levels of traffic and air pollution, Hankey said, and included a wide variety of road types and surrounding land uses.
Preliminary findings suggest that air pollution levels are 1.5 to 2.3 times higher in on-road locations than on off-street trails and 2 to 3.5 times higher in the morning than in the afternoon. Results also indicate that air pollution concentrations are associated with street classification and traffic intensity.
Arterial streets with the most traffic had the highest air pollution levels, with lower concentrations on local roads and off-street trails. "If you can choose to bike on a local road that's a block or two off an arterial collector, that would make a big difference in your exposure," Hankey said.
The project's next step is to tie the existing mobile measures to land-use variables so the data can be extrapolated to other parts of the city, Hankey said. The resulting model will show air pollution levels for every block in Minneapolis.
The researchers plan to use this model in conjunction with bicycle and pedestrian traffic volume data being collected by a team of researchers from the Humphrey School led by Professor Greg Lindsey. The combined model could be used to identify "hot spots" with both large volumes of pedestrian or bicycle traffic and high levels of air pollution, Hankey said.
This information could be used to develop mitigation strategies in high-risk locations and to make recommendations for the development of future infrastructure in areas with lower pollution concentrations.
"We'll also release the air pollution estimates so people can integrate them into existing tools," Hankey said. "For example, in [the bike route tool] Cyclopath, a user could choose a low air pollution route instead of the fastest route or shortest route."

Hello from Park City, Utah!
Finals ended last week and I am now enjoying Spring break. Rather than having a wild, typical college break somewhere, I opted to visit my parents at their new home. It's lovely here, but so cold! I have just been relaxing and enjoying this view.
We went to a lovely dinner last night at La Caille, but I don't have a cord to share the pictures at the moment, so foodie pictures may have to wait a bit! The only thing missing here is Nina! I miss her. And I am so glad that I am saying that right now because, not gonna lie, I was seriously worried about that for a while. The first two weeks of puppy ownership were hell. It actually made me question my desire and ability to have children one day. A couple nights were so bad that the next day I wondered if I would be one of those extremely unfortunate women who suffers from post-partum depression. Yeah… She is being watched by a puppy sitter while I am away. She sends me pictures of her throughout the day – it is precious!
Before I left…
On my flights over here, I had ample time to think about a few things. I have much more growing up to do and I have a few goals that I need to put out in the open in order to hold me accountable – no matter how embarrassing.
1. Be a better driver. This means always wearing a seatbelt and not speeding. I have improved in both of these areas, but the 25 mph speed limit in all of Davis is my weakness.
2. Be a more neat and clean person. Adults don't skip showers for a day or two. They clean their bathroom and vacuum on a regular basis. They hang their clothes up immediately after drying or use. They do not wear black jeggings and Uggs in public. I need to do (or not do) these things. And take off that damn crusted nail polish!
3. Don't be a grumpy beez. Especially to your mother, who put up with your shi-nanigans during your high school years.
4. Spend less $ on food. I actually have the opposite problem of most people – I need to decrease my consumption of veggies and quality proteins. This sounds ridiculous, but hear me out. I thought that because I never eat out and prepare all my meals at home, I could spend whatever I needed on groceries because I was saving money in comparison. My last meal before leaving California for Utah changed my mind. In the fridge, I had a chicken breast, a bunch of kale, 1/3 of an avocado, and goat cheese that needed to be eaten. So, I grilled the chicken and sauteed the kale, and rubbed both with goat cheese and threw in the chopped avocado. This is what I brought with me to the airport for lunch.
Chicken = 2.50$ (half pound at 5$ a pound)
Kale = 2$ a bunch
1/3 avocado = .50$
1-oz goat cheese = .75$
So my homemade meal cost 5.75$. I am a college student. Who do I think I am?? Two years ago, I wrote a pamphlet on healthy eating that was aimed at teenagers and their families who live below the poverty line. I distributed them at the high schools and grocery stores in the least affluent areas of Austin. The pamphlet included a grocery list to sustain a family of 4 for a week for 60$. Obviously, goat cheese was not on that list. As a 21 year old student, I should not be spending more on my own eating than a family of 4. I eat tons of fresh veggies and lean proteins several times a day, so cutting back a couple times a week is not going to harm my health at all. I plan on incorporating a bit more beans and lentils into my diet and having a couple more typical college kid meals a week (think milk-and-cereal, I'll never be down with Ramen). Feel free to comment with your thoughts, agree or disagree!
5. Continue to keep up with world events and always take the time to put yourself in other people's shoes. What must it be like to lose your entire family to a tsunami or live in fear of a nuclear radiation leak? How would it feel to take part in riots that succeeded in forcing a multi-decade dictator to step down? How desperate must one be to light themselves on fire to protest police brutality? I want to do more than just acknowledge these things, but at the moment, I do not know what or how.
Before I go, I want to share with you a cool link! Yale University has a center called the Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity. On their website there is a page with tons of presentations from fabulous professors and experts on topics ranging from The Economics of Food Pricing to Food and Fashion in Our Society. Just read through the titles, pick one that sparks your interest, and click on it for the powerpoint!

So for the last few weeks everyone around me has been sick with the most horrible flu. I generally don't get sick too often (I replace illness with injury more often than not) and this time I fought hard against it with appropriate amounts of sleep, vitamin C, fruit and vegetables as well as regular exercise. it was a close call, but I was managing until I ended up standing outside in the freezing cold for hours waiting to vote.
On Thursday morning I woke up with a sore throat but I was otherwise fine, but lunchtime I was halfway through Leia's box of tissues (she was very kind to offer them regularly). for the record, she's just started her very own, very first blog, so please go check it out! She's putting tons of time and effort into it (and I think I might have given her the flu...). Anyway by Thursday night I was battling to breath and pretty much totally miserable.
Friday was pretty unpleasant, particularly because I had to teach fungi (according to the lecturer it's pronounced "fun_dje-eye") to my batch of first year kiddies. I could have persuaded someone to cover for me, but as I'm heading off on fieldwork before their next lab i wanted to say goodbye. It was very cute, when I finished giving them tons of advice for the rest of their labs (we do a little beginning-lab briefing session) i broke the news and they all said "awww" and seemed saddish. One of the nicer kids wasn't there which was sad, bit the one with a rapidly-developing attitude problem was absent, which made my life much easier!
They all worked merrily away and left after a few hours, most of them stopping to say goodbye and thank you to me, which was quite bizarre - this group has been the best first year lot I've had, but I have never pretended to care about them, and I'm pretty sure they're aware that I have no further influence on their marks! One girl ran over and hugged me and refused to let go, which was extremely awkward, as she's quite short and I'm rather tall, so I had a vice-like grip around my ribcage while she went on and on about her labs with me being the bright spot in her week. At the same time her friend, who was waiting for her, walked up to us and said "Can we leave now or are you two having 'a moment'?" I kept patting the kid on the back rather awkwardly until she went away.
I spent Saturday at the vet, trying to do my job but largely unable to talk. One of the regular clients came in, and i groaned inwardly - she's the one who loved to chat, and both vets hide from her. I was quite unfriendly, but I just couldn't handle making small-talk, when all I wanted was for her to go away so I could blow my nose. I was supposed to wait to be paid after my shift, but I just said goodbye to the vet on duty and went home, where I had some tomato soup and collapsed until the next morning. That was about 18 hours of sleep! I got up in the evening to get a hot-water bottle to put on my chest, and to take more flu-caps and med-lemon, but otherwise it was me, in bed, with a box of tissues on my pillow, a dustbin next to my bed for said tissues, and my trusty ipod which was pretty useless because my ears were blocked and I was almost totally deaf...
And by Sunday I was almost totally better, but with an awful cough and a voice somewhere between Macy Gray and Norah Jones... Fortunately Monday was a public holiday and I was able to watch a ton of movies at work, while getting some or other brand of cough syrup from the pharmacy next door - apparently it's highly addictive because something like 3 of the four ingredients are controlled substances, all I know is that it tastes bad enough to be something I will be more than happy to quit! Unfortunately it works so I have to live with it for a few more days!

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Ryan Braun has come clean and said it: He took performance-enhancing drugs.
A month after suddenly abandoning his claims of innocence and accepting a 65-game suspension from Major League Baseball, the Milwaukee Brewers slugger admitted he took a cream and a lozenge containing banned substances while rehabilitating an injury during his 2011 NL MVP season.
In a statement released by the Brewers on Thursday night, Braun took responsibility for his actions. He also apologized to many people, including the sample collector he castigated after an arbitrator overturned the outfielder's suspension from a 2011 positive test.
"I have no one to blame but myself. I know that over the last year and a half I made some serious mistakes, both in the information I failed to share during my arbitration hearing and the comments I made to the press afterwards," Braun said. "I have disappointed the people closest to me."
Still, his lengthy act of self-reproach was missing several key details. Among them: The five-time All-Star doesn't say who gave him the PEDs or where they came from; he doesn't reveal the banned substance in the products; he doesn't say if he knew the cream and lozenge were tainted at the time he took them.
For now, the apology will have to do.
"To me, it doesn't really matter what they say. Let's lay down the penalties and move on," San Francisco Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
On July 22, Braun agreed to a suspension resulting from Major League Baseball's investigation of the now-closed Biogenesis of America anti-aging clinic, which was accused of providing banned substances to players.
At that time he acknowledged only that he made "mistakes," leaving people, including Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, wanting more.
He laid out his story Thursday: "Here is what happened," the statement says.
Still tied to Milwaukee for at least seven more years and $117 million, Braun also sent a separate letter of apology to Brewers fans.
Braun was the first of 14 players disciplined this year as a result of the Biogenesis probe. Twelve accepted 50-game penalties, including a trio of All-Stars: Texas outfielder Nelson Cruz, Detroit shortstop Jhonny Peralta and San Diego shortstop Everth Cabrera.
Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez is appealing his 211-game penalty, assessed for violations of the drug program and labor contract.
In his initial meeting with MLB investigators to discuss Biogenesis, Braun declined to answer questions. But in the statement, he said he initiated a second session with MLB during which he admitted his guilt and began discussing a penalty.
"After my interview with MLB in late June of this year, I came to the realization that it was time to come to grips with the truth," Braun said. "I was never presented with baseball's evidence against me, but I didn't need to be, because I knew what I had done."
Braun's urine tested positive for elevated testosterone from a sample collected on Saturday, Oct. 1, 2011, after Milwaukee's NL division series opener against Arizona. The drug collector, Dino Laurenzi Jr., stored the samples from Braun and two other players at home and dropped them off at a Federal Express office on Monday, rather than send them immediately, as specified in baseball's drug collection rules.
The players' association argued that the specimen was handled improperly, and arbitrator Shyam Das overturned the discipline on Feb. 23 last year.
During a news conference the following day on the field at Milwaukee's spring training stadium in Phoenix, Braun proclaimed he had been vindicated and questioned Laurenzi's methods. A week later Braun's lawyer criticized Laurenzi when the collector defended himself.
"I have no one to blame but myself. I know that over the last year and a half I made some serious mistakes, both in the information I failed to share during my arbitration hearing and the comments I made to the press afterwards," Braun said. "I have disappointed the people closest to me — the ones who fought for me because they truly believed me all along. I kept the truth from everyone. For a long time, I was in denial and convinced myself that I had not done anything wrong."
After he accepted his suspension — 50 games for the drug infraction and 15 games for his conduct at the time of the grievance — Braun was heavily criticized by players around the major leagues.
"I thought this whole thing has been despicable on his part," Detroit pitcher Max Scherzer said then. "When he did get caught, he never came clean. He tried to question the ability of the collector when he was caught red-handed. So that's why the whole Braun situation, there is so much player outrage toward him."
Braun hopes this is a step in the right direction.
"I also understand that I will now have to work very, very hard to begin to earn back people's trust and support. I am dedicated to making amends and to earning back the trust of my teammates, the fans, the entire Brewers' organization, my sponsors, advisors and from MLB," Braun said. "I am hopeful that I can earn back the trust from those who I have disappointed and those who are willing to give me the opportunity."

The Government of Nature By Afaa Michael Weaver
Somerville poet Afaa Michael Weaver has a new collection of poetry out The Government of Nature. I asked poet Dennis Daly author of The Custom House ( Ibbetson Street Press) to review this book....
The Government of Nature
By Afaa Michael Weaver
University of Pittsburgh Press
68 Pages
Review by Dennis Daly
These poems of Afaa Michael Weaver take you by the hand, like a trusted grown-up takes a child, down a landscaped and stylized pathway of disturbing memories, family ghosts, and familiar, even endearing, internal landmarks. The cadences are well wrought, formal (in the sense of elevated language), and beautifully rhythmic. In some poems the rhythm delivers a near chant. In others it becomes a strangled but pulsed whisper.
Weaver covers some dangerous territory here. The power of this poetic collection derives from his meditations on his own experiences as a survivor of childhood sexual abuse by an uncle. So much could have gone wrong in the writing. But it doesn't. Without hatred or self-pity Weaver strikes just the right tone with intelligent contemplation and a pretty remarkable understanding of evil's context.
The poems themselves seem to bridge a psychic divide between the horror of past predation and the solace of a future life. In the poem The Path Weaver describes his trek into an alternative peace this way,
With my umbrella I stumble, too lonesome
for the way water soaks into the skin in the thunder,
listening for the sound of the eagles circling
above the lost children of wild pigs or what can be
caught and carried in the talon. My hands are
not free, too busy with trying to keep cover
on my head. The stones have another meditation,
a kind of counting to music. Touch me, they say,
and a thousand stone paths will make their way to me.
Once in the night when it is dry, when the pretty
rain of mountain springtime was suspended,
I walked this path to the dream of where we live.
Again using rain and water as unifying factors Weaver in his piece entitled The Ten Thousand constructs a gauzy memory palace in which reality must be faced and imagination deciphered. The poet says,
If I write without color it is to obey the gray way rain brings
the past to us. The ten thousand are one giant palace with a room
for remembering, where you must stand alone, touch and believe
while it seems you are touching nothing and have gone mad
in this life, this gift. We are sitting on a rock in the thick falling
of water, purple lilies are growing in the sun's ocean shadow,
sheep with golden wool are flying in the trees, a patient monkey
is bandaging a wounded blade of grass, the garden is a mesa,
seeds are mountain caves, the moon has gone infinite, made
two of its own selves for each of our palms. Now we have faces.
This poem flows wonderfully. Between surreal images Eastern thought connects with Christian mythology. Doubting Thomas is even here touching the wounds of his Redeemer.
Some of these poems are quite explicit and troubling. The poet, however, has a point to make about the damage that can be done to a child and the burden that that child carries throughout his life. This image from Weaver's poem Looking Up from the Naked Bed I found particularly affecting,
One Spring I find myself with a woman,
craving love's raw way, getting high on sex,
thrill of skin and breasts, losing myself,
my medication for my heart failing to slow
my addiction until this door opens, above
what I call love. I see myself, a child,
feel the hands of the man carving
the cross I carry, its totem marks.
A little over halfway through the book the fiercely protective poem Remember crouches like a lion. Weaver dedicates this poem to his granddaughter. It begins as a charming childhood litany. Listen,
If I forget to plug the sun,
let me know
If I forget to tame the sharks' teeth,
let me know
If I forget to stop the tsunamis
let me know
If I forget to tie up the bears,
Let me know…
The poem continues with the same rhythm but ends quite differently and quite grimly. Here's the last three sections,
If I forget to outlaw nightmares,
let me know
If I forget to put perverts away,
let me know
If I forget that the divine thing
moved inside me to write this,
the thing that can do all things,
let me know
let me down easy
into the earth.
In his title poem, The Government of Nature, the poet addresses his body directly. He again goes to a place of memories in order to find himself and negate those same memories and confront the monster, who propagated them. He says,
I come with you to places I cannot go alone, as alone
I would be only the decision to be, not the things
I cannot explain to anyone, except in the privacy
Of a piety I have had to own, a profound saintliness
That came to me in places too foul to remain buried…
My favorite poem in this book and one that gives this collection a gentle and positive gravity Weaver entitles Scrapple. It portrays good people trying to do the right thing and make the best of life's mix of good and bad. Here, for instance, is Weaver's loving description of his father,
…in the good times, between
the strikes and layoffs at the mills when work
was too slack, and Pop sat around pretending
not to worry, not to let the stream of sweat
he wiped from his head be anything except
the natural way of things, keeping his habits,
the paper in his chair by the window, the radio
with the Orioles, with Earl Weaver the screamer
and Frank Robinson the gentle black man,
keeping his habits…
Weaver's book transforms the unnatural nightmares of a damaged childhood into something transcendent, warm and wondrous. This is beyond poetry. This is alchemy.

At one time or another, we all face challenges. And it's often been said that one of the best ways to overcome an obstacle is to first feel comfortable enough to talk about it. We couldn't agree more.
While having debt can be emotional and hard to discuss, it's important to know that you're not alone. Our Licensed Insolvency Trustees (LIT) have seen and helped many people in your shoes. Whether you want to learn more about ways to budget and consolidate your debt or you have reached a point where you're having difficulties making the monthly bill payments, we do everything possible to create a supportive environment for you and your family to openly discuss and learn about all your options for debt relief.
Our LITs will work with you to provide tailored, effective solutions to allow for affordable debt repayment plans and protection for you and your family.
Depending on your individual circumstances, you may be able to develop a plan to pay off your debt through 'self-help' strategies like revising your budget, selling off an asset or debt consolidation. If these would not work for your situation, several other debt relief solutions are available to you through professional organizations. Understanding more about these solutions can help you choose the one that best fits your needs.
Self-help debt relief options include planning to pay off your debt with a clearly defined household budget that prioritizes debt repayment. Use our convenient budgeting worksheet or debt calculator to help you in this process by determining how long it would take you to repay a loan.
The various debt relief solutions available all cost significantly different amounts each month to settle your debts. Use this helpful calculator to see how much the same debt will cost you each month using various debt solutions.
In addition to self-help options, our LITs will walk you through formal solutions for debt control like a debt consolidation loan, a debt management plan, a debt settlement plan, and a consumer proposal to find the option that works best for your financial situation. We look at filing for bankruptcy after exploring all your other options first.
To start, you have to compare the amount of debt you would repay using different methods like repaying the loan on your own, using a consolidation loan, following a credit counseling repayment plan, or filing a consumer proposal.
You can download our debt options booklet or visit our Debt Options page to learn about how each one applies to you.
We want you to understand every debt relief method available to you and we will take the time to explain how each one applies to your financial situation. You may contact our LITs at any time by requesting a call or filling out our application form for a free assessment, with no obligation.

Sutami rushes into the alley, hoping to still make it in time to reach the church for a meeting.
As she passes by the residential areas, she is greeted by parents along the way. It seems everyone knows her and gives her their respect.
People from all over of Java and from all religions live in Solo, and you will see mosques and churches along the way. It is quite an adventure to pass through the narrow alleys, as newcomers will almost certainly lose their sense of direction! But not Sutami.
Sutami, age 53, is one of the mentors at the Anugerah Student Center. She has dedicated her life as a mentor since this child development center opened in 1995. Her passion to minister to children keeps her returning to the center.
Not everyone is qualified as a mentor. People who want to be a mentor are screened by a church committee and the student center's coordinator/director.
Mentors must be committed Christians, committed to the local church, have a passion to minister to children, have basic teaching skills, and have good relational skills. This is especially needed when mentors deal with parents.
When Compassion establishes a partnership with the local church, the child development center (CDC) is formed as a formal body under the church, which delivers programs to the children registered at that CDC. This partnership gives the church the ability to reach out to the community, especially the poor.
Help Families Affected BY COVID-19
Families in poverty have no safety net in times of crisis. Help provide food, medical care and support during this pandemic.
A CDC consists of three major positions of responsibility: a coordinator, a secretary and a treasurer. These roles are the only full-time staff at the center. These three functions are the motors of the development center, and our country staff communicate regularly with the CDC staff.
Compassion assigns a partnership facilitator to oversee around 12 churches in the nearby area. The facilitator has the responsibility to work with each church regularly. The facilitator's main job is to sustain partnerships through regular communication with the pastor or other decision makers in the church. This helps the child development center staff deliver the programs effectively.
All center staff are selected by the church, but our country office helps in the recruiting process by setting the requirements for these roles.
- Who are the merchants of morality that commit their lives to fight the poverty of society and try their best to break the poverty cycles?
- Who are the men and women who peer into the slums and stinky alleys for the sake of visiting children who are not even their own?
The qualifications for coordinator, secretary and treasurer are mostly set by the church. Professional skills are required for these jobs.
The coordinator should have leadership skills to oversee all of the CDC staff, the secretary should have the basic skill of a book keeper and other secretarial-related skills, and a treasurer should have basic accounting knowledge and needs to be trusted to handle the support money.
The church chooses the staff, and the partnership facilitator helps the church to ensure those applying for these roles meet the professional standards.
Each year the child development center makes an annual plan. These annual plans reflect the specific needs of local children. Last year's performance is often used as an evaluation tool to determine needs for the following year.
The annual plan will be compiled with a budget. The partnership facilitator brings the annual plan to the Compassion office to review it before giving final approval. In the plan, the church's pastor testifies about the collaboration and professionalism of the ministry.
Assisting the center staff are a group of volunteer mentors. These mentors are responsible for specific age groups. Mentors are the ones who act as teacher, coach or social worker for the children in their age group. They relate with the children and their parents. They know each child personally.
"To know each child personally can be a challenge. A deep trust often emerges when you allow some time and listen to their struggles," says Sutami.
The commitment of these mentors as church volunteers and as the frontline in gaining the trust of the children and their parents benefits the church. More and more people draw closer to church, which provides an opportunity for the church to minister the childrens' families while the CDC focuses on the development of their children.
"So, a lot of my work is changing people's mind," says Sri, another mentor. Sri knows she needs to be equipped with various skills related with social work, communication and teaching.
A partnership facilitator once said that mentors are the soul of our ministry, walking alongside the children while the children walk in the wilderness, teaching character and life skills to the children so the children might survive and gain a better their life.
Without the mentors at the child development centers, our ministry to the poor is just a concept.

An Upper East Side father has filed a lawsuit against a court-appointed psychologist who called him an inept parent because he refused to take his son to McDonald's and let the child go without dinner when he wouldn't go elsewhere.
David E. Schorr, who is involved in a contentious divorce with the boy's mother, said in the suit that he offered to take his nearly 5-year-old son anywhere but McDonald's for their Oct. 30 dinner date, but that the irate boy chose no dinner instead.
After taking his son home early to his estranged wife's apartment, the wife alerted psychologist Marilyn Schiller, who reported the "incident" to a judge and recommended that Schorr's visitation time be reduced.
Schorr filed the defamation suit Tuesday against Schiller, who didn't immediately return a call Friday.
Schorr's wife's lawyer also declined to comment.
"I wish I had taken him to McDonald's, but you get nervous about rewarding bad behavior," Schorr told the Daily News. "He probably knows that I now have to take him to McDonald's. These kids are smart."

Malcolm Gladwell is concerned about how things change. So is Jared Diamond. Diamond is best know for his Pulitzer prize winning "Guns, Germs and Steel" in which he describes the factors that he believes have made certain civilizations triumph over others. Gladwell is perhaps most well known for his "Tipping Point: How Little Things Make a Difference" best seller in which he, without complete attribution, brings together a variety of theories and stories about the mysterious tendency of humans to begin to act more like lemmings for better (as in less crime if there are less broken windows) or worse (as in tatooing going mainstream).
The week in the New Yorker, long Gladwell's homebase, Gladwell reviews Diamond's latest book, "Collapse: how societies choose to fail or succeed."
I don't have the Diamond book as yet so I'm relying on Gladwell to tell you that the civilizations that "choose" to fail usually fail by failing in their relationship to the earth. Easter Islanders completely deforest their island and it's bye bye civilization from then on. The Norse settlers of Greenland deforest, over graze, remove sod so as to build their homes, refuse to eat fish (as near as anyone can tell), won't learn from the locals and so all starve to death in one very bad winter. These civilizations and others (Mayas, Rwandans, etc) through their unattentative relationship with the earth create first an environmental crisis that they don't understand that then precipitates a social crisis and collapse.
The collapse is obviously a tipping point or perhaps even a blink — to borrow from Gladwell's newest book, "Blink: the power of thinking without thinking." To be fair to Gladwell, "Blink" is about intuition which it seems that the civilizations in "Collapse" seem to have chosen to ignore or just do without.
I know that we're all responsible etc, but really do societies that have no idea of crop rotation or of how to prevent erosion really "choose to fail" or are they selected out of the gene pool like the winners of the Darwin Awards. Does death of a civilization constitute a collapse, a tipping point, or a paradigm shift? Or are all of these approaches far too simplistic to be instructive, to prevent our own collapse?
I do plan to read both "Collapse" and "Blink" in the next few months and will report back. Feel free of course to comment here in the meantime.

What would happen to global warming if the sun quit producing sunspots for a few decades?
The question is of more than passing interest to climate scientists as they ponder the prospect that the sun may be about to enter such a period.
The coming flip of the sun's magnetic field in a few months marks the peak of the current sunspot cycle – one that has produced the fewest sunspots in at least 100 years, and perhaps the last 200 years.
Peering at trends – or in some cases, the lack of them – in the sun's behavior during the run-up to the current cycle's peak, some solar physicists increasingly are considering the possibility that the sun may be on the verge of a "grand solar minimum," comparable to a 70-year period running from the early 17th century into the early 18th century, when the sun produced no sunspots at all.
That period, known as the Maunder Minimum, coincided with the Little Ice Age, when the climate in the Northern Hemisphere cooled significantly.
In the most detailed look yet at the impact a similar event might have on global warming, researchers from the US and Australia have concluded that a 50-year grand minimum in sunspot activity likely would reduce global average temperatures during the period by a few tenths of a degree Celsius, but that the warming trend would resume once solar activity returns to normal.
"What if we went into another Maunder Minimum? Would that actually stop global warming"? asks Gerald Meehl, a researcher at the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Boulder, Colo., who led the team that conducted the study. "The short answer is: No. It slows it down for a while. But the minute the sunspots come back and the solar output goes back up, the temperature pops back up" close to where it would have been if the sun spots hadn't taken a powder, and the warming trend resumes.
The notion that the sun could be heading for a grand minimum hit the headlines two years ago, when three research teams using independent measures suggested that the next sunspot cycle's activity could be substantially lower than the current cycle's.
One sign: A fairly steady decline in the strength of the spots' magnetic fields over a 13-year-period. If the trend is to continue, scientists said, they anticipated a spotless sun by around 2022.
"We still see a decrease in the sunspot magnetic fields," says Matt Penn, a researcher with the National Solar Observatory in Tucson, who took part in the study. "The results are consistent with what we presented in 2011. It seems the trend is continuing along that line" leading to a cut-off in sunspot production.
More recently, research has suggested that the strength of the suns' magnetic field during one solar minimum – when the field is at its strongest – is a harbinger of the size of the peak for the next sunspot maximum. Over the past three sunspot cycles, those fields at solar minimum have been getting weaker, with the weakest appearing during the most recent minimum.
Given these trends, "I don't see how we're going to get fields any stronger this time around than they were" prior to the current solar maximum, known as cycle 24, says David Hathaway, a solar physicist at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Hunstville, Ala. "It looks like cycle 25 might be smaller yet."
"My suspicion: If you think this cycle's bad, wait for then next one," he says.
Meanwhile, over the past decade climate scientists have evolved a better understanding of how – between the valleys and peaks of the sunspot cycle – a tiny increase in the energy the sun radiates toward Earth can affect climate.
Two mechanisms have emerged that can have a measurable effect, especially regional climate. The center of action for both is the tropical Pacific, and to a lesser extent, the North Atlantic, Dr. Meehl explains.
Most of the change in the sun's output is in the form of ultraviolet radiation. A top-down mechanism warms the stratosphere, as increased UV radiation stimulates the production of ozone, which releases heat. This heating changes circulation patterns in the stratosphere, which in turn alter circulation patterns in the troposphere below, where weather happens.
The other process is bottom up, where even smaller changes in visible light reach the sea in the relatively cloudless subtropics to set off a chain of changes in rainfall and wind patterns.
In each case, these changes can have effects far beyond the tropical Pacific, leading to changes in regional climate that are more pronounced than the direct affect of the slight increase in the sun's output. And they work in tandem.
During solar minimum, when the sun's output declines, these processes shut down, cooling the climate by a few tenths of a degree.
For the first time, Meehl and colleagues explored the impact of a grand solar minimum with a model that encompasses the top-down and bottom-up processes in the same model.
They assumed a 50-year sunspot hiatus presumed to run from 2020 to 2070. They used the solar cycles between 1965 and 2008 as their "normal" scenario, and temperature data from 1986-2005 as their temperature base. And both approaches used atmospheric greenhouse-gas concentrations that reach twice preindustrial levels by about 2070, then stabilize.
The team found that between 2026 and 2035, global average temperatures in the experiment would increase 0.80 degrees Celsius (1.4 degrees Fahrenheit) with normal solar activity, but only 0.64 degrees C. assuming sunspots went into a long hibernation.
By 2040, the pace of warming begins to pick up in the grand-minimum scenario. Between 2065 and 2080, after the grand minimum ends, warming has reached 1.47 degrees C above 1986-2005 levels with normal solar activity and 1.32 degrees C in the grand-minimum scenario.
Other researchers have performed similar experiment with similar models with similar results, the team acknowledges. But this work appears to capture the full extent of the effects, from initial cooling to the resumption of warming.
The results were published in May in the journal Geophysical Research Letters.

"Bharti has tied up US$7.5bn of loans through Standard Chartered, Barclays and a roster of other international banks to fund its $10.7bn bid, which includes $1.7bn of Zain debt. The State Bank of India has also promised up to $1bn more to cover associated deal costs. At a reported interest rate of 2 percentage points over Libor, Bharti is being charged less than many investment grade companies would expect to pay", FT reports.
So Bharti is on track in its purchase of Zain. And SingTel will have exposure to Africa.
The bad news is that Thailand's government will present a plan in two months to "create a level playing field" for telecom firms, including possible compensation for changes to concessions, said Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva.
Prosecutors will also make a decision on whether to seek damages over royalty payments to state-run TOT from Advanced Info Service, Thailand's biggest mobile phone company that was owned by former PM Thaksin Shinawatra via Shin.
But SingTel and Temasek will be comforted that the Finance Minister said: "Whether there will be retroactive pursuit of fees forgone by the government from the company is unlikely. I don't feel that it would be fair to go after shareholders of these companies for adjustments in the concessions that were made by the previous owner." Remember AIS is an associate of SingTel and Temask has a 79% economic interest in Shin that is AIS's controlling shareholder.
The concession of True Corp, Thailand's third-biggest mobile operator, is set to expire in 2013. AIS's expires in 2015 and Total Access' in 2018. Each firm negotiated amendments to the original concessions, which the government's legal advisory body said in 2007 failed to comply with the law.
More bad news: SingTel's and StarHub's joint bid for World Cup footie has been rejected. Footie fans will know who to blame if SingTel doesn't cough up more (don't see why StarHub would). If it does, it will lose money. Peanuty amounts but still money.
Makes me ashamed to be from RI. The CEO is an RI gal. RI boys don't do such dumb things, only RI gals.

This looks promising – a downloadable show from the creators of thebroken, starring Kevin Rose of The Screensavers/Attack of the Show. According to Kevin's blog, this promises to be a treat for anyone missing the TechTV experience, and should be out by the end of the month.
There are a couple of behind-the-scenes clips at Keith Harrison's blog and I've got to say, I'm looking forward to it. As a UK resident, I didn't get to see much of TechTV besides the clips available on their website, and it's great to have freely available "tech TV" for those of us in less "geek-enlightened" areas of the globe.
Also, the long-awaited fourth episode of thebroken, featuring all your favourite characters, should be available "soon", says Kevin.
While I'm on the subject of Internet TV shows with a geeky flavour, be sure to check out The Scene, which follows the lives of a (fictional) illegal movie distribution group, and Pure Pwnage, where you can watch "pro gamer" Jeremy (aka teh_pwnerer) "pwning noobs" – it's probably one of the funniest things I've seen for a while!
