The school team. The town team. The travel team. If your young soccer player is on the field for several games or practices a week, it may be too much.
Most injuries occur in the 10- to 14-year-old age group. Younger players are more susceptible to injury because they're still growing.
Many soccer-related injuries are treated by health care professionals.
Injuries are more likely when kids are out of shape. Experts say it's not a good idea for a child to be inactive all summer and then play in three soccer leagues in the fall. Increase playing time gradually by no more than 10 to 20 percent each week. Children should be on teams that are not only age-appropriate, but size-appropriate.
Though most injuries were sprains, strains, bruises, and fractures, there's a growing concern about head injuries. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says that most severe head injuries in soccer are caused by collisions with other players or with the goal posts. But there have also been questions about the safety of heading the ball. The AAP recommends discouraging heading until the child has adequate neck strength and can learn the skills needed to do this safely, with the proper technique. A player should never be forced to head a ball.
The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons recommends the following to prevent soccer injuries:
Take time to warm up and stretch, especially the hips, knees, thighs, and calves--cold muscles are more prone to injury.
Wear shin guards to help protect your lower legs.
Wear shoes with molded cleats or ribbed soles, not cleats that are screwed into the soles. Screw-in cleats should be worn when more traction is needed, such as on a wet field with high grass.
Don't allow players to crawl or sit on the goal, or hang from the net.
Pad and properly secure goal posts to decrease the incidence of head injuries during collisions with the posts.
Keep playing fields in good repair.
Consider wearing protective eyewear.

Windows startup repair virus Windows 7
Hello all, I am having a problem starting up my laptop. I continually get the start up repair window each and everytime I attempt to turn on thee pc. It gives me two options, one to send the error report, and the other, not to send. No matter which one I choose, the laptop automatically shuts down. I have tired doing system restore, but I then get a message saying I have not created a restore point which I know I did. I have tried doing safe mode and tried just about every other option available to me. Is there a fix for this. I have a HP Pavillion G series and it runs Windows 7. I have searched to fourms and have not found anything at least that I can understand as far as fixing this goes. Thank you to all in advance.

2009 Fiesta Bowl
Texas 24, Ohio State 21
Attendance: 72,047
Offensive Player of the Game: Colt McCoy, Texas
Defensive Player of the Game: Roy Miller, Texas
Sportsmanship Award: Terrelle Pryor, Ohio State
Head Coaches: Mack Brown, Texas; - Jim Tressel, Ohio State
Weather: Roof closed (cool and clear outside)
Television: FOX
Payout Per Team: $18,200,000
Colt McCoy was determined to make sure he and his Texas Longhorns finished on top this time.
After narrowly being left out of the BCS National Championship Game and finishing second in the Heisman Trophy race, McCoy hit Quan Cosby for a 26-yard touchdown with 16 seconds to play to cap an 11-play, 78-yard drive and give the Longhorns a 24-21 win over Ohio State in the 2009 Fiesta Bowl.
McCoy completed 41 of 59 passes, both Fiesta Bowl records, for 414 yards and two touchdowns and also ran for a score. On the game-winning touchdown, Cosby caught a short pass over the middle, slipped a tackle and sprinted toward the goal line before diving into the end zone.
The Buckeyes used two quarterbacks in the game – senior Todd Boeckman and freshman Terrelle Pryor – to confuse the Longhorns defense and the plan helped them almost pull off the upset.
Making their fifth trip to the desert in the past seven years, Ohio State battled back from a 17-6 deficit to take a 21-17 lead on a 15-yard run by Dan Herron with 2:05 to play. That score came after Todd Boeckman hit Terrelle Pryor for a 5-yard score to cut Texas' lead to 17-15. Pryor's pass on the 2-point conversion was incomplete.
But there was too much time left on the clock, as McCoy completed seven of 10 passes for 76 yards on the final drive.
Ohio State took a 6-3 halftime lead behind its solid defense and the running of Chris "Beanie" Wells, who had 96 yards rushing in the first half. But Wells, who finished with 106 yards on 16 carries, suffered a concussion and missed most of the second half.
On Texas' first possession of the second half, McCoy took a direct snap, bolted through the right side of the line, broke to the sideline and spun past a defender for a 14-yard touchdown run. Seven minutes later, McCoy found Cosby in the back of the end zone to put the Longhorns up 17-6.
Cosby finished with 14 receptions (second most in Fiesta Bowl history) for 171 yards and the two touchdowns.

CHICAGO | The names of the special welcoming committee in the Blackhawks locker room require a bit of patience for Americans to spell out.
Start with Niklas Hjalmarsson. A Hawk since 2007, he's the senior Swedish player on the roster and the go-to-guy for his countrymen.
Go across the room to Marian Hossa's dressing space. A big-name free-agent when he signed with the Hawks in 2009, the Slovakian native has been the one three other Slovak and Czech Hawks sought out.
Hjalmarsson and Hossa brought the Stanley Cup to their home towns in Sweden and Slovakia in 2010. Each would love to return the NHL's top talisman to their countries to share with their teammates this summer.
In the case of Hossa and the other Slovaks and Czechs, their Hawks achievements could be a part of a documentary projected for WTTW (Ch. 11) titled "Czechs in Chicago: A Home in the Heartland."
Bears founder George Halas, a Bohemian, along with Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, founder of the Democratic machine, would be centerpieces of the show. The Bears recently held a fundraiser for the documentary at Halas Hall.
Hossa's positive effect on his teammates would be a logical storyline.
"When I got here, he helped me a lot," said fourth-line winger/top penalty killer Michael Frolik. "I came here from Florida and I didn't know anybody. He showed me a few restaurants and a few spots where to go. I was glad he was here and he helped me out.
"I know there's a lot of Czech people here, it's one of the biggest (communities) in America. It's always nice when you can speak your language.
Hossa has found a home away from home in Chicago.
"I know some people from Slovakia who live here," he said. "I talk to them and they're excited. The great thing about Chicago is it's a big city and we kind of blend in more."
As more Swedes joined him, Hjalmarsson's happiness quotient increased.
"It's fun to have some guys from back home, to speak our own language, to talk about what's going on back home," he said. "The addition of Johnny (Oduya) on the back end has been huge for us since he came here. He added depth on the blue line. (Marcus) Kruger is doing a great job on the penalty kill."
Hjalmarsson took both his Swedish teammates and North American stars like Jonathan Toews to a Swedish restaurant in Chicago's Andersonville neighborhood, two miles north of Wrigley Field, during the Christmas holidays to take advantage of a special holiday menu.
"That was awesome," Kruger said of the food. "That was almost better than home. You haven't had it for awhile."
Best entrée? "Herring," Kruger said. "That's something you miss from home. That was almost like back home."
The Czechs prefer a bread dumpling with meat and sauce. In the end, they end up consuming the many-ethnic offerings of Chicago, a good eatin' town.

What is that glowing slinky, and where can I get one?
Martha: Artemide Boalum $500
e.g. http://www.ylighting.com/art-boalum.html
I think there's also an Ikea knockoff that looks really crappy when it's not lit.
or get a rope light
The mattress on the floor reminds me of when I was just starting out on my own and hadn't yet saved enough money for a bedframe. I like to think of it as so boho chic. Those were the days!
Hey, I grew up in Rockville, MD. Glad they've joined the AT family!
I love #2 just for the combination yellow-red-blue. Warm but not overdecorated. #3 and #4 as places I'd like to lie around in, with a book and a cat.
Now aren't we glad none of these have a toilet or tub in view? ;)
i like miami (photo 2) and san francisco (photo 8)... both minimalist but stylish

You probably know 4orty from his antics in the morning with Stu, Tiffany, & Jimbo, and you may have seen Zakk Sabbath out and about at a KCAL event, but now we're giving you a sneak peek at the play pen they call the KCAL Promotions Office.
The picture above is the space where my desk (Zakk) and 4orty's desk meet near the middle of the office (*cough cough* CLOSET) we share in the 96-7 KCAL Rocks Promotions Department. As you can see, we've managed to collect some pretty interesting desktop decorations. Maybe a wide-angle shot will help set the scene:
Okay, so maybe the picture doesn't quite do it justice, so here's a list of just A FEW of the things you might come across if you were sitting here yourself:
A Darth Vader Candy Dish, Carson Palmer Bobblehead, Snake Eyes figure from GI Joe, a KCAL shot glass (complete with Beer Pong Ball), a NERF Football/Missile, a RAMPAGE Transformer, a wind-up Harley motorcycle, two Penguins of Madagascar, a box of matches (UH OH!), a Zen Rock Garden guarded by a Paperclip Monster, the remote to the flat screen we use to play XBOX when we're supposed to be working, a sparkling dog poop candle, a Beanie Baby Penguin, a lonely stick of RAM computer memory, an official "I *HEART* BOOBIES" bracelet, a pose-able wooden figure that is "prancing" thanks to Creepy, a pair of Chinese Meditation Balls, a scientific beaker filled with gumballs, Storm Trooper & Chewbacca AT-ATs locked in an eternal battle for the desk, Megatron posed like Michael Jackson (again, thanks to Creepy), Frankenstein Bart Simpson, a foam rubber boxing glove, RAMPAGE & SIDEWAYS Transformers in the package (they're worth more that way, DAMMIT!), an obnoxious screeching sling shot monkey, 4orty's light up Philadelphia Eagles pen (right at home in a Jack Daniel's cup), and my personal favorite, the PAPERCLIP X-WING! (hit the link – it's now WORLD FAMOUS!)
If you look closely, you may also notice that 4orty's monitor has "an important Photoshop document" he's working on. It just happens to include three hot chicks in bikinis. That might explain the Vaseline Clinical Therapy Lotion that's hanging out next to our meditation balls. Or maybe I just have dry skin. Yeah, that's it.
You also may notice that the paper on his desk bares the headline "Scratch 'Harry Baals' Off List of Names for Government Center". Being a Morning Show Producer takes a lot of "research".
And it isn't just the desk that looks more like it should be in a preschool playroom. The infamous KCAL ROCKS PRIZE CABINET has also fallen victim to our rampant immaturity. It is guarded fiercely by none other than…
RAPHAEL, the angriest of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!
What you don't see in the pictures is the mini-bar behind 4orty's desk, and the NERF shotgun I keep for extra protection behind my desk. So stop by anytime and say "Hi". We might just offer you an internship (ask for Zakk Sabbath). Or we'll assault you with ping pong balls, a Ninja Turtle, and a barrage of NERF missiles. Now I'm off to kick 4orty's ass in a game of Madden on the XBOX. Like I said, KCAL Promotions is always LOTS-O-FUN!

Grassland Birds: Greater Prairie-Chicken
By Dale Bolton
A grouse of the open grassland, the Greater Prairie-Chicken is known for its mating dance, performed by males on flat display sites on shortgrass prairie called leks. Their range extends from northern Oklahoma through the Flinthills and northern Kansas, and on north through the centers of Nebraska and the Dakotas. Sarah Sortum and her brother found their way back to the family ranch in the central Nebraska sandhills by starting an eco-tourism business, allowing bird watchers to see the chicken in its mixed-grass home.
This is the final episode of Playa Country's four-part series on Grassland Birds. It originally aired on High Plains Public Radio November 26, 2013.

Illegals Receive A Quarter Of Welfare Benefits In L.A. County
County Supervisor alarmed at amount of taxpayer funding going to illegals.
New statistics from the Department of Public Social Services
reveal that illegal aliens and their families in
collected nearly $37 million in welfare and food stamp allocations in July 2008, announced Los
Angeles County Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich.
Twenty five percent of the all welfare and food stamps
benefits is going directly to the children of illegal aliens. Illegals collected over $19 million in
welfare assistance for July 2008 and over $17 million in monthly food stamp
allocations, for a projected annual cost of $432 million.
Sponsored By:
Annually, the cost of illegal immigration to
exceeds over one billion dollars, which includes $220 million for public
safety, $400 million for healthcare, and $432 million in welfare
allocations. This does not include
millions of dollars for education.
"Illegal immigration continues to have a devastating
impact on
taxpayers," said Antonovich.
"With $220 million, the total cost for illegal immigrants to County
taxpayers far exceeds $1 billion a year - not including the millions of dollars
for education."

Where have we been?
Dear reader(s),
I hope your summers have been well. Amidst the sunshines, Moscow heat waves, and flood in Pakistan, I want to thank you again for tuning in with us here at theblaaag. So the question still remains, 'Where are our editors?' As the previous update mentioned, David and Marilla were seniors the last time this editor's corner was updated. And one-plus year later, the two founders have graduated from the Columbia undergraduate community and are probably doing something to better the world. A few months ago, both submitted Blaaag Senior Wisdom pieces, which I hope you will be interested in reading. (Marilla's, David's). As your new moderators, Annie and I hope to keep the site updated while still maintaining the original styles and formatting our previous editors created. Please check out our new staff page and see who's posting today!
Stay tuned.

Gourmet Goes Frozen
Private Jet Gourmet in Miami has come up with a unique variation on traditional catering–an assortment of gourmet frozen entrees, side dishes and desserts, from beef roulade and Moroccan lamb chops to garlic mashed potatoes and four-cheese ravioli to chocolate soufflé and key lime pie.
According to company president Alisa McGowan, the meals are packaged and frozen using a relatively new European method and retain their texture and flavor for up to a year. Packed in dry ice, they can be shipped anywhere in the U.S. by overnight courier. From frozen to service, the meals require from 10 to 15 minutes.
McGowan said three FBOs are already carrying an assortment of the frozen meals, and at the NBAA Convention last fall one flight department bought 100 meals.

India-China Border Dispute
On assuming power, the Peoples Republic of China (PRC) renounced all prior foreign agreements as unequal treaties imposed upon it during the "century of humiliation" and demanded renegotiation of all borders. The Sino-India border remains the only major territorial dispute, other than South China Sea disputes, that China has not resolved. Chinas growing assertiveness in its territorial claims, especially on Arunachal Pradesh, and its relentless development of infrastructure in Tibet will shape the prospects of Sino-India relations.
The territory stretching from the jungles of northern Myanmar, westward to the Karakoram Range, and northward to the edge of the Tibetan plateau can be seen as a single geopolitical system referred to as the Himalayan-Tibetan massif. The ruggedness of this terrain makes movement of men and materiel extremely difficult, thus preventing Indian and Chinese civilizations from intermingling or projecting military power in these remote areas effectively. Not until 1962 did the Chinese and Indian armies fight each other over these desolate heights, thus altering the geopolitics of the region significantly.
The McMahon Line boundary dispute is at the heart of relations between China and India. China has land and sea boundary issues with 14 neighbors, mostly for historical reasons. The Chinese have two major claims on what India deems its own territory. One claim, in the western sector, is on Aksai Chin in the northeastern section of Ladakh District in Jammu and Kashmir. The other claim is in the eastern sector over a region included in the British-designated North-East Frontier Agency, the disputed part of which India renamed Arunachal Pradesh and made a state. In the fight over these areas in 1962, the well-trained and well-armed troops of the Chinese People's Liberation Army overpowered the ill-equipped Indian troops, who had not been properly acclimatized to fighting at high altitudes.
In the early 20th Century Britain sought to advance its line of control and establish buffer zones around its colony in South Asia. In 1913-1914 representatives of China, Tibet and Britain negotiated a treaty in India: the Simla Convention. Sir Henry McMahon, the foreign secretary of British India at the time, drew up the 550 mile (890 km) McMahon Line as the border between British India and Tibet during the Simla Conference. The so-called McMahon Line, drawn primarily on the highest watershed principle, demarcated what had previously been unclaimed or undefined borders between Britain and Tibet. The McMahon line moved British control substantially northwards. The Tibetan and British representatives at the conference agreed to the line, which ceded Tawang and other Tibetan areas to the imperial British Empire. However the Chinese representative refused to accept the line. Peking claimed territory in this far north down to the border of the plain of Assam.
The land is mostly mountainous with Himalayan ranges along the northern borders criss-crossed with mountain ranges running north-south. These divide the state into five river valleys: the Kameng, the Subansiri, the Siang, the Lohit and the Tirap. High mountains and dense forests have prevented intercommunication between tribes living in different river valleys. The geographical isolation thus imposed has led different tribes to elove their own dialects and grow with their distinct identities. Nature has endowed the Arunachal people with a deep sense of beauty which finds delightful expression in their songs, dances and crafts.
A slow forward move towards the McMahon Line was begun on the ground, to establish a new de facto boundary. The McMahon Line was then forgotten until about 1935 when the British government decided to publish the documents in the 1937 edition of Aitchison's Collection of Treaties. The NEFA (North East Frontier Agency) was created in 1954. On 7 November 1959, Chou En-lai proposed that both sides should withdraw their troops twenty kilometers from the McMahon line. The issue was quiet during the decade of cordial Sino-Indian relations, but erupted again during the Sino-Indian War of 1962. During the 1962 war, the PRC captured most of the NEFA. However, China soon declared victory and voluntarily withdrew back to the McMahon Line.
China is in occupation of approximately 38,000 sq. kms of Indian territory in Jammu and Kashmir. In addition, under the so-called China-Pakistan "Boundary Agreement" of 1963, Pakistan ceded 5,180 sq. kms. of Indian territory in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir to China. China claims approximately 90,000 sq. kms. of Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh and about 2000 sq. kms. in the Middle Sector of the India-China boundary. Beijing has stated that it does not recognise Arunachal Pradesh.
The border between China and India has never been officially delimited. China's position on the eastern part of the border between the two countries is consistent. Not a single Chinese government recognizes the "illegal" McMahon Line. For China, the McMahon Line, stands as a symbol of imperialist aggression on the country. The so-called "Arunachal Pradesh" dispute is China's most intractable border issue. Because the gap between the positions of China and India is wide, it is difficult for both nations to reach consensus. The area of this disputed region is three times that of Taiwan, six times that of Beijing and ten times that of the Malvenas islands, disputed by Britain and Argentina. It is flat and rich in water and forest resources.
Arunachal Pradesh is the only issue which has a potential for conflict between India and China. If ever India and China go to war one day, it will be on this issue. India considers recurring Sino-Indian border clashes a potential threat to its security. Since the war, each side continued to improve its military and logistics capabilities in the disputed regions. China has continued its occupation of the Aksai Chin area, through which it built a strategic highway linking Xizang and Xinjiang autonomous regions. China had a vital military interest in maintaining control over this region, whereas India's primary interest lay in Arunachal Pradesh, its state in the northeast bordering Xizang Autonomous Region.
Barring an armed clash at Nathu La in eastern Sikkim in 1967, the border between India and China (Tibet) - and specifically the ill-defined Line of Actual Control (LAC) in Ladakh/Aksai Chin and Arunachal Pradesh - had remained free of any major incidents through the 1970s and the early 1980s. While relations between the two countries remained cool,, official statements from Beijing and New Delhi professed a desire to solve the border tangle peacefully through mutual consultations. Beginning in December 1981, officials from both countries held yearly talks on the border issue.
With the improvement of logistics on the Indian side, the Indian Army sought to reinforce and strengthen forward areas in Arunachal Pradesh in the early 1980s. Patrols resumed in 1981 and by the summer of 1984 India had established an observation post on the bank of the Sumdorong Chu [referred to as Sangduoluo He in the Chinese media].
In July 1986 there were reports in the Indian media of Chinese incursions into the Sumdorong Chu [S-C] rivervalley in Arunachal Pradesh. By September-October, an brigade of the Indian Army 5 Mountain Division was airlifted to Zimithang, a helipad very close to the S-C valley. Referred to as Operation Falcon, this involved the occupation of ridges overlooking the S-C valley, including Langrola and the Hathung La ridge across the Namka Chu rivulet.
This was followed by reports of large-scale troop movements on both sides of the border in early 1987, and grave concerns about a possible military clash over the border. In February 1987, India established the so-called Arunachal Pradesh in its ["illegally occupied"] Chinese-claimed territories south of the McMahon Line. The Chinese side made solemn statements on many occasions that China never recognizes the "illegal" McMahon Line and the "so-called" Arunachal Pradesh. After these events, and India's conversion of Arunachal Pradesh from union territory to state, tensions between China and India escalated. Both sides moved to reinforce their capabilities in the area, but neither ruled out further negotiations of their dispute.
China, which had always maintained a large military presence in Tibet, was said to have moved in 20,000 troops from the"53rd Army Corps in Chengdu and the 13th Army in Lanzhou by early 1987, along with heavy artillery and helicopters. By early April, it had moved 8 divisions to eastern Tibet as a prelude to possible belligerent action. Reinforcements on the Indian side began with Operation Falcon in late 1986, and continued through early 1987 under Exercise Chequerboard. This massive air-land exercise involved 10 Divisions of the Indian Army and several squadrons of the IAF. The Indian Army moved 3 divisions to positions around Wangdung, where they were supplied solely by air. These reinforcements were over and above the 50,000 troops already present across Arunachal Pradesh.
Although India enjoyed air superiority in 1987, rough parity on the ground existed between the two military forces, which had a combined total of nearly 400,000 troops near the border. The Indian Army deployed eleven divisions in the region, backed up by paramilitary forces, whereas the PLA had fifteen divisions available for operations on the border. Most observers believe that the mountainous terrain, high-altitude climate, and concomitant logistic difficulties made it unlikely that a protracted or larges-cale conflict would erupt on the Sino-Indian border.
That the Sino-Indian border has not suffered any major disruptions since 1986, as compared to the incessant firing incidents and infiltration on the Indo-Pak borders, made the Sino-Indian border an example of good neighbourly relations.
In December 1988, Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi visited China. The Prime Ministers of the two countries agreed to settle the boundary questions through the guiding principle of "Mutual Understanding and Accommodation and Mutual Adjustment". Agreement also reached that while seeking for the mutually acceptable solution to the boundary questions, the two countries should develop their relations in other fields and make efforts to create the atmosphere and conditions conducive to the settlement of the boundary questions. The two sides agreed to establish a Joint Working Group (JWG) on the boundary questions at the Vice-Foreign Ministerial level.
An Agreement on the Maintenance of Peace and Tranquility along the Line of Actual Control in the India-China Border Areas was signed on 7 September 1993. After more than thirty years of border tension and stalemate, high-level bilateral talks were held in New Delhi starting in February 1994 to foster "confidence-building measures" between the defense forces of India and China, and a new period of better relations began. In November 1995, the two sides dismantled the guard posts in close proximity to each other along the borderline in Wangdong area, making the situation in the border areas more stable. During President Jiang Zemin's visit to India at the end of November 1996, the Governments of China and India signed the Agreement on Confidence Building Measures in the Military Field along the Line of Actual Control in the China-India Border Areas, which is an important step for the building of mutual trust between the two countries. These Agreements provide an institutional framework for the maintenance of peace and tranquility in the border areas.
Though lot had been done during the Sino-Indian official border talks, with number of border related CSBMs put in place, the border issue remains mired in various bilateral and domestic compulsions and contradictions on both sides. Border 'encounters' between India and China are not rare and arise from the very real disagreements that exist between the two sides in demarcating the LCA on the ground. Such incidents have usually been handled, not in full media glare, but by the two sides discreetly withdrawing to their earlier positions.
The two sides withdrew sentries along the eastern section that were considered to be too close to each other. During early 1990s, India unilaterally withdrew about 35,000 troops from its eastern sector. On the other hand, the PLA maintains a force between 180,000 and 300,000 soldiers and has directly ruled Tibet from 1950 to 1976, and indirectly thereafter. Tibet today is connected to other military regions through four-lane highways and strategic roads. And Beijing's capability to airlift troops from its other neighbouring military regions has advanced very far from its comparative inability to use air force in 1962.
During the Indian Prime Minister's visit to China in June 2003 India and China signed a Memorandum on Expanding Border Trade, which adds Nathula as another pass on the India-China border for conducting border trade. The Indian side has agreed to designate Changgu of Sikkim state as the venue for border trade market, while the Chinese side has agreed to designate Renqinggang of the Tibet Autonomous Region as the venue for border trade market.
During Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's visit to India in April 2005, the two sides signed an agreement on political settlement of the boundary issue, setting guidelines and principles. In the agreement, China and India affirmed their readiness to seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable solution to the boundary issue through equal and friendly negotiations.
India after 1962 adopted a policy to not develop the border areas. The idea was that if India developed the border areas, the Chinese can easily use these facilities in the event of a war. This policy had changed by 2008. To redress the situation arising out of poor road connectivity which has hampered the operational capability of the Border Guarding Forces deployed along the India-China border, the Government has decided to undertake phase-wise construction of 27 road links totaling 608 Km in the border areas along the India-China border in the States of Jammu & Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim and Arunachal Pradesh at an estimated cost of Rs.912.00 crores. The work of construction of 2 roads in Arunachal Pradesh has started. The construction of these roads was expected to start during 2008-09.
The two sides have differences in perception of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) in the India-China border areas. Both sides carry out patrolling activity in the India-China border areas. Transgressions of the LAC are taken up through diplomatic channels and at Border Personnel Meetings/Flag Meetings. India and China seek a fair, reasonable and mutually acceptable settlement of the boundary question through peaceful consultations.
Chinese President Hu Jintao met with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in Sanya City, south China's Hainan Province, April 13, 2011. Hu said China is willing to further push forward negotiations on border issues on the basis of peace and friendliness, equal consultation, mutual respect and understanding. The two sides should consider setting up a consultation and coordination mechanism on border issues so as to achieve consensus as soon as possible and to better maintain peace and stability at the border regions before the issues are solved.
China wants India to put behind the 1962 war as an "unfortunate" thing of the past and that the two countries should strengthen their military ties including formalising a border management pact under which their troops will not fire at each other. The Chinese assessment was conveyed to the Indian defence ministry team which visited Beijing on 14-15 January 2013 for the third round of the annual defense dialogue between the two countries.
Border tensions between China and India flared after New Delhi claimed a contingent of 30 to 50 PLA soldiers crossed about 12 miles beyond the Line of Actual Control between the two countries on 15 April 2012 and stayed there for three weeks. According to New Delhi, PLA soldiers frequently conduct border incursions (more than 600 times over the last three years) but do not usually cross more than a few miles over the Line of Actual Control nor stay there longer than several hours.
Beijing denied Chinese troops had crossed into Indian territory. A Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson said, China has always acted in strict compliance with relevant agreements and protocols between the two countries on maintaining peace and tranquility in the Line of Actual Control area along the border . . . Chinese patrol troops have never crossed the line. Chinese Premier Li Keqiang attempted to downplay the incident and the risk of conflict. During a state visit to India, he insisted that a few clouds in the sky cannot shut out the brilliant rays of our friendship. Premier Li did not directly address the alleged Chinese incursion, though he said both sides believe we need to improve various border-related mechanisms that we have put into place and make them more efficient, and we need to appropriately manage and resolve our differences.
President Xi Jinping met Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh at the BRICS Summit in Durban, South Africa, 29 March 2013. Xi urged both sides to use special representatives to strive for a fair, rational framework that can lead to a solution to the border issue as soon as possible. India will abide by political guidelines set by both sides and seek a solution to the border issue with a commitment to safeguarding peace, Singh said. Since 2003, more than a dozen rounds of talks had been launched to resolve the border disputes. But ties have still been occasionally strained by the issue and overshadowed by closer India-US relations amid Washington's accelerating Asia "pivot" policy.
Beijing and New Delhi resolved the April border impasse in May after a series of talks and agreed to pursue a formal agreement to build trust and confidence between the border troops. The two sides signed the agreement during the Indian prime ministers trip to China in October 2013. China and India concluded a border defense cooperation pact 24 October 2013, making it a highlight of Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to the Asian neighbor. The Indian Express newspaper said the pact also puts no restrictions on India developing border infrastructure or enhancing military capabilities along the border. It quoted India's Ambassador to China S. Jai Shanker as saying: "This principle allows both countries to take appropriate measures according to their own security needs."
Nevertheless, the potential for periodic low-level confrontations between border patrols to escalate likely will persist. Indian media have reported several additional albeit briefer incursions by Chinese troops since the April standoff. Furthermore, both China and India continue to boost their militaries capabilities on the border, adding to mutual suspicion. This has left both sides sensitive to each others border activities and disposed toward worst-case perceptions of the other sides intentions and activities. Ely Ratner and Alexander Sullivan of the Center for a New American Security, warn: more intense strategic competition between India and China would reverberate throughout the continent, exacerbating tensions in Central Asia, the Indian Ocean, and Southeast Asia. Disruptions to the Asian engine of economic growth caused by these tensions could debilitate the global economy.
Chinese troops entered disputed territory along the Sino-Indian border, Indian media sources reported, claiming it's not the first time China has made an incursion into the Indian border region. "Chinese troops are reported to have entered 25 to 30km deep into Indian territory in Burtse area in Ladakh where they had pitched their tents last year that had led to a tense three-week standoff," The Times of India reported on 18 August 2014. Citing official sources, the media outlet notes that troops from the People's Liberation Army were spotted on Monday near the 'New Patrol base' post in Ladakh's Burtse area. According to these sources, the PLA has crossed a de-facto border known as the Line of Actual Control (LAC) and moved deeper into Indian-held territory. The PLA reportedly carried flags reading "this is Chinese territory, go back" in their hands.

New "GTA Online" DLC details, including the cooperative heists, are expected to be announced soon for Rockstar Games. According to a report from Worth Playing on Feb. 13, the publisher is planning to reveal more content updates for the multiplayer mode of "GTA 5" in the near future.
Along with the aforesaid cooperative heists, a new Dangerous Business DLC Pack will also be added to "GTA Online." Finally, the creator tool, which came with a recent patch, is going to be expanded. You can take a look at some screens from the "Grand Theft Auto 5" video game in the slideshow located to the left side of this article and the statement from Rockstar Games below:
We will also have more information soon for other forthcoming GTA Online content updates including the Dangerous Business Pack, Online Heists, an expansion to the Creator tool and lots more.
The publisher stated previously that new DLC packs are being planned for the campaign and "GTA Online" modes. Although some of the updates will be free, others may require a fee.
Cooperative heists were originally scheduled to be made available shortly after the launch of "GTA Online." However, Rockstar North ran into numerous issues with the multiplayer component of "GTA 5" as players couldn't connect to the servers and were losing progress. The mode has also been plagued by numerous hacks and exploits.
"Grand Theft Auto 5" has sold 32.5 million copies across the globe for the PS3 and Xbox 360 since it came out on the two platforms in 2013.

Quote: The trouble with a lot of the new tablets, however, is that they are Android based
Android? A couple yeah but loads of the new tablets on the block are Windows based. http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/windows-8-tablets-release-date-specs-and...
Asus, Dell, HP, Acer, Lenovo, Samsung, Sony etc etc are making Windows 8 tablets and hyrbids. Windows 8 unifies desktop, laptop, tablet and phone. It can be used with touchscreen or traditional mouse or keyboard.
As for Google/Android not being used in mainstream computing PC World were selling a lot of Chromebooks.
The nice thing about Android is its Linux heritage which also turns up on the desk top so why not a future where Android spans delivery devices. Already my smart TV box is very Linux like and communicates with my tablet. Also Android is maintained, my tablet shipped with Version 2.3 and is now running 4 as supported by the supplier.
this Windows move is interesting, I must admit I will look hard at a touch enabled laptop like device for the future and I would like to see greater interaction between a touch device and my main computer. I view Android as a platform just reaching maturity.

Is the end of an error coming soon?
This might be the month of reckoning for failed central bank money-printing policies. Mounting evidence suggests that markets are starting to notice that the Fed is trapped.
It was interesting to see in the most-recent quarterly filing (released a week ago) that Goldman Sachs Group (GS) spent around $500 million in the period to buy 3.7 million shares of SPDR Gold Shares (GLD), making Goldman the exchange-traded fund's seventh-largest shareholder.
After having been a vocal proponent of the view that a much stronger economy (which we haven't seen) would lead to a tougher Federal Reserve (which won't ever happen) and a weaker gold price (which we did experience until June 30), Goldman is perhaps starting to connect the dots.
Putting the 'gold' in Goldman
To be sure, Goldman's negative call on gold received a tremendous amount of fanfare, and it appeared to be at the epicenter of the huge price break we saw in the second quarter. But I haven't seen comments anywhere discussing its quiet, bullish bet. (For all we know, depending on exactly how the company holds the shares, it could be some sort of arbitrage against something else, but I doubt that.)
As for why we own gold in the first place, that of course has to do with reckless money-printing on the part of the Fed (the subject of my book "Greenspan's Bubbles: the Age of Ignorance at the Federal Reserve"). That effort started somewhat innocently in the early 1990s, and, at first, it produced a powerful bull market, which turned into a huge bubble in the late 1990s.
That led to a bust, which led to more money-printing, followed by a massive real estate bubble and an epic collapse, with the financial system nearly disappearing, which resulted in an even more gargantuan amount of money-printing.
A rise by any other name . . .
Those of us who understand the process have known that each dose of liquidity by the Fed has weakened the economy, and that money-printing would not solve anything, as can be seen in the sequence of events outlined above.
Money-printing cannot solve problems. It doesn't really give us much gross domestic product growth, as we have seen. It hasn't really helped on the employment front either, as job growth is meager (of course, it is also hampered by other government policies). What money-printing has accomplished is to push the stock market high enough to cause people to once again become delusional in their expectations.
The bloom has come off the (stock market) rose a bit recently, but this is essentially the same process that has been at work for more than 20 years. Money-printing gets the stock market to a place where folks think that it means something.
We witnessed the same thing in the late 1990s, when the Wall Street Journal saw fit to capitalize "New Economy," which was a farce, and the Fed concocted a crazy theory about too much savings in the world with regard to what generated the real estate bubble that burst in 2007-08. Now, somehow, stock prices are so high they have induced people to believe in Goldilocks again.
It takes two to contango
The purpose of reviewing all of the above is to set the stage for the possibility that we are starting to come to the end of the charade, and in the next couple of weeks, the Fed is going to have to decide whether it is going to begin to taper -- and we will see what happens if it does -- or that it can't even start.
The early handicapping of that outcome began with today's nonfarm payroll report (released after this column's deadline), but in the end, the die is cast. If Bernanke et al decide to taper, it won't be long before they are compelled to change their minds. Money-printing will continue until the bond market makes it clear that that is not an acceptable outcome, a process I think is already under way.
(I see 10-year rates approaching 3% not because of the prospect of some modest amount of tapering, but because enough money has been printed to take the deflationary outcome off the table and because the bond market is slowly pricing in the fact that the coupons out to 30 years are at a discount to the inflation rate.)
In any case, hopefully September will be a major inflection point for what is known as "modern-day" finance and money-printing.
At the time of publication, Bill Fleckenstein owned gold.
Mr. Bill Fleckenstein,
You are correct -- the Fed cannot discontinue its printing fiasco. However, I do believe the Fed will taper by say, $10 - 15 billion per month. Why? To give the illusion that it is in control and that the economy is strong enough on its own to continue growing with less QE. Of course this is not true. Appearances and perception are the new facts and proof. A slight taper could temporarily pacify the bond market. Is the Fed a responsible institution? I believe the Fed will abort its mandate of low inflation for the sake of growth. Is high inflation compatible with economic growth? No, higher inflation is correlated with higher interest rates. But it does wonders for existing debt relief and boosts the price of the collateral via inflation thereby giving the appearance of deleveraging thereby allowing more new debt.
And the US is a debt fueled economy. No new debt, no growth. Will the Fed ever stop its Quantitative Easing? No, the economy would crash. Why? Because America is broken.
I have a lot of respect for Bill, unlike many MSN readers, the guy had a short fund, and was very successful, that is not an easy accomplishment, so all you guys trading your 100 shares should lighten up a little.
That said, I would be super careful trying to read anything in to what Goldman Sachs is doing, not because the gold purchase could be part of a complex trade, but because Goldman is GM, BOA, GE etc. it is now on the US Government's payroll.
They only make money trading, no more investment banking, no IPO's, no M&A, just trading and they never lose-why do you think that is?
How appropriate that the President will address the nation on Tuesday... Wednesday is 9/11.
Since his first election We the People have been at war without weapons against an internal enemy using collusion greed and administrative blockades to kill us off. Whether the President is behind it or someone else, the FACT is that no one has addressed the REAL issue, but have propped up lots of other issues to draw attention away.
The President's speech on Tuesday HAD BETTER be about ending financial tyranny and going after the job blockaders. The crooks have degrees and I-Phones, the victims have skill sets and families.
My kids report that Gen Y managers are vicious and unethical. Gen X pushes paper and buttons. Their parents got rich off QE. Sports betting, elitism, infidelity, religious zeal and psychopathy are their delights.
The crooked have taken nearly everything from us but we still have our abilities. These abilities generated stabilities that our great nation requires to thrive on. The nation is on the brink of collapse. If we bomb Syria and there is retaliation, we fold up and fail. If that begins to happen, the suppressed people will begin destroying the impediment generations at the same time. The REAL way to recover was to be forthright and let the cream rise to the top... not destroy our best and lift our worst.
Wednesday is 9/11. Once we were bombed and after that we became enslaved to bad divisive people. It's time to reverse that but not by bombing other people, just going after the divisive who caused such carnage. Your moves HAD BETTER be true or you will regret it.
Ben Bernanke and the Federal Reserve have levitated the stock market with all the money printing, bond buying, and POMO (Permanent Open Market Operations).
Yet, for all the bond buying, interest rates on bonds are still increasing. That should crater the housing recovery real soon now.
So, who are the three bears? You guessed it: Bonds, Real Estate and Stocks.

Lee Sinclair's ConverTable: Five Tables In One
Designer Lee Sinclair impressed us with her hidden plasma TV cabinet, and now she's back with the ConverTable, a surface solution that can transform from a coffee table into a six person dining table faster than you can say Optimus Prime. More photos and information about this small space wonder here...
ConverTable can change in height and into five different configurations: a small coffee table, large occasional table, games table, large dining table for up to six, and an optional drawing board. The ConverTable is available ins a classic and original leg style (the classic has traditional fluting) and the table comes completely assembled so you won't have to figure out how to put together the fascinating furniture puzzle.

can they be purchased in the US?
This is so awesome.
That's awesome! Looks like it might be a tight fit for six, even without such big chairs, but I love the concept and design!
This makes me want to kick myself for buying two separate tables...
Okay...and we buy this in the US where?

If you can't get there from here, it may have a lot to do with your gender and the directions you're using. Women tend to rely on landmarks ("Turn right at the gas station"), but men tend to use abstract strategies tied to compass points and exact distances ("Go north 1.2 miles and turn west"). What's more, each sex has trouble switching gears, a University of Saskatchewan study found. It's harder for men to use landmark-based directions and tougher for women to use abstract instructions, says lead author Deborah M. Saucier, Ph.D. The study of 82 students who had to find several destinations appeared in Behavioral Neuroscience in 2002.

Sebastian Vettel steps closer to third successive World Title
10/7/12 in Formula One | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
Sebastian Vettel marches on to capture his third successive world title, with a phenomenal victory in yesterday's Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka. Japan has proven to be happy hunting ground for the Red Bull driver, who won at Suzuka in 2009, 2010 and celebrated his world title here last year.
The victory was made sweeter for Sebastian Vettel as the current championship leader Fernando Alonso had to retire from the race after an early crash. Sebastian Vettel is now only four points behind the Spaniard driving in a Ferrari.
Sebastian Vettel led from start to finish at the Japanese Grand Prix, which put him ahead of Felipe Massa (Ferrari) and Kamui Kobayashi (Sauber).
"It's been a fantastic weekend," Sebastian Vettel said after the race. "Yesterday's qualifying was perfect and today again, the balance of the car was amazing. It just seemed to work fantastically well."
Fernando Alonso stepped out the race after collision with Lotus' Kimi Raikkonen on the first corner of the race.
Red Bull team principal Christian Horner is exuberant over his team's fight-back for the world title. Christian Horner admits "it's a shame" for Fernando Alonso to lose lead, but no credit can be taken away from Sebastian Vettel for his superb driving.
"To win in such a dominant fashion really closes up the Championship," Christian Horner said. "It's a shame for Alonso, it's not something you hope for and it could happen to us at the next race.
"It was a textbook drive for Sebastian today, he really was in a class of his own. The guys have been pushing very hard and even though we didn't have major upgrades here, it still seemed to come together and the balance was there.
"That's what made the difference today."
Sebastian Vettel's teammate wasn't luck enough to evade Lotus' "first-lap nutcase" Romain Grosjean. The Frenchman was found at fault once again.
Romain Grosjean got banned from the Italian Grand Prix at Monza for initiating an accident the Belgian Grand Prix. The accident took out Lewis Hamilton, Fernando Alonso and Sergio Perez.
Unfortunately, Romain Grosjean was the culprit once again yesterday.
"I haven't seen what happened at the start, but the guys confirmed it was the first-lap nutcase again, Grosjean," Mark Webber said.
"The rest of us are trying to fight for some decent results each weekend, but he's trying to get to the third corner as fast as he can at every race. It makes it frustrating. Maybe he needs another holiday."
Later Romain Grosjean apologized to Mark Webber and admitted that the accident was his mistake.

PURPOSE: To enable the miniaturization of a reciprocating power generating device by properly combining an electromagnet, a moving body having a permanent magnet, and a control switch part, and to obtain a miniature track turnout capable of building in the track bed of a railroad model by connecting the moving body with a point switching piece.
CONSTITUTION: A reciprocating power generating device 1 has an electromagnet 5 formed of a nearly U-shaped magnetic core 3 made of magnet and a coil 4 wound on the magnetic core 3, a DC power source part 6 sending a direct current to the coil 4, a power switch 7, a control switch part 8 controlling the continuity state from the DC power source part 6 to the coil 4, and a moving body 9 disposed between the magnetic poles 5A, 5B disposed opposite to each other in such a manner as to be capable of reciprocating. A track turnout 20 is formed by burying the essential part of the reciprocating power generating device 1 in the exclusive track bed for point in a railroad model and connecting a mounting piece 2 protruded from the moving body 9 with a pair of point switching valves 23A, 23B on a line 21. A coupler for railroad model is formed by loading the reciprocating power generating device 1 in a model vehicle and connecting its moving body 9 with a joint hook of the model vehicle.

The Signal Center is in the process of transforming and expanding the learning environment for Signal soldiers. This initiative consists of an unprecedented array of educational offerings � including synchronous and asynchronous collaboration tools � which provide a rich learning environment for Signal soldiers where they live and work.
This lifelong-learning environment begins when soldiers take their first course at the University of Technology based at Fort Gordon, Ga. From that point on, soldiers are able to access this environment anytime and anywhere to refresh and enhance their skills, knowledge and abilities as they progress through their careers.
UIT�s extended-campus and extended-classroom concept is a key component of the Signal Center�s new lifelong learning approach. The concept consists of paperless classrooms with one or more personal computers per classroom. The PCs are tied into extended campuses (see the following figure) with fault-tolerant architecture, providing the virtual classrooms high availability, scalability and responsiveness.
|The Signal Center at Fort Gordon, Ga., serves as the central or "home" campus, connecting to extended campuses of webserver farms. The extended campuses connect in turn to extended classrooms, which can be formal classrooms or a hookup in the barracks, at home or in a hotel room while on temporary duty.
The result is a dynamic learning environment that provides the soldier the capability to access training support and services reliably anytime/anywhere 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year from virtually any location worldwide.
Extended campuses provide a simple and inexpensive solution to technical problems such as time differences and slow worldwide-web access. The term "extended campus" doesn�t denote an area where you�ll find physical classrooms; "extended campus" denotes the technological part of the concept. Extended campuses consist of the webserver farms required to support web-based training and simulations for the regional extended classrooms (following figure), as well as individual soldiers accessing training services and support via the Internet. Also, these regional facilities provide soldiers and commanders a wide array of Internet technologies and techniques to foster collaborative learning and forge bonds with counterparts in other components.
The "extended classroom" is what the Signal soldier will see and use. Extended classrooms are as simple as a PC connected in the soldier�s home or as complex as a formal classroom with 20 PCs connected to the Internet. The classrooms provide individual soldiers the ability to access a training environment rich in content. Formal extended classrooms provide an environment for facilitators to administer proctored tests, provide assignment-oriented training and train small groups of soldiers. Finally, extended classrooms allow soldiers to obtain just-in-time training tailored to their individual requirements without having to attend classes at formal training facilities.
These virtual classrooms incorporate a set of modern training tools, such as a study guide, notice board, student forum, online mentoring and an interactive, multimedia courseware library, all of which are aimed at meeting the individual soldier�s needs. The virtual classroom provides many benefits of the traditional classroom while enjoying the major advantages of training delivered over the Internet that can be accessed at any time from any place.
The advantages of e-learning to individual soldiers is equally impressive, including fast, easy access to an integrated, standardized user interface for all courseware, with a consistently applied set of navigation tools. Soldiers are able to choose the most convenient time and place to enjoy their e-learning experience and to structure the training program to suit their precise individual requirements.
Fort Hood, Texas, has agreed to become UIT�s pilot extended campus, since Fort Hood�s digital-training facility will open in June 2002. The digital-training facility, although a separate project from UIT, could provide the expertise and platform the Signal Center needs to begin a pilot extended campus. We also plan to explore the possibility of establishing other potential extended campuses at the Army School System Signal battalions; Fort Huachuca, Ariz.; Fort Lewis, Wash.; Korea; and Europe.
Keep in mind, however, that UIT is very new and � as COL Peter Farrell mentions in his article � and is still evolving, still being defined in scope, so the locations of extended campuses and classrooms may change.
UIT is committed to providing an e-learning environment that delivers just-in-time training with just enough practical exercises and simulations to commanders and soldiers at any location worldwide. UIT�s resource center (see related article) is staffed with highly trained e-learning developers, in partnership with private industry, dedicated to ensuring the web-based training products delivered to the virtual classrooms through the network of extended campuses is consistently updated.
Extended campuses and extended classrooms will be staffed with UIT people dedicated to ensuring the e-learning experience for all soldiers � including soldiers accessing e-learning products and services from the Internet � is a rewarding experience.
The UIT resource center provides the foundation the Signal Center requires so we can offer this rich web-based leaning experience to Signal soldiers. Extended campuses � combined with paperless virtual classrooms � provide the infrastructure necessary to deliver this robust lifelong learning environment worldwide. The combination provides the repository of critical technology required as the Signal Center transforms to an online learning environment providing access to a wealth of e-learning resources worldwide.
