Countdown to Italy: 24 Days.
In honor of Italy and geekdom, some geeky Italy humor:
Since I've started this blog I've learned the basics of tags and angle brackets. I know almost nothing about HTML, but I get this joke

sigh. I don't. Wish I did.
Yay for Italy countdown! I've never asked you where and for how long you're going! So: where, and for how long? Make me jealous!
And: Haha for reminding me that I, too, was forced to turn into a geek who understands.
…understands, appreciates, and laughs out loud, I must add.
Two weeks! A week and a half of greater Italy, working out of Perugia as home base, with at least one excusion planned down to the Amalfi Coast. Two days, three nights in Rome at the tail end of the trip and a "forced" 22 hour layover in Amsterdam, which gives us time for a a train ride into downtown, a canal cruise, dinner, breakfast and some walking around town before the flight home to Minneapolis.

Jeffrey D. Allred, Deseret News
SALT LAKE CITY — Andrei Kirilenko re-injures his calf two days before a first-round meeting with the Denver Nuggets, and Mehmet Okur blows out his Achilles tendon just two quarters into Game 1 of the first-round series.
What could possibly be next?
It's a question the Jazz can ask themselves almost every day lately, especially come mid-April, early May and the onset of NBA postseason play.
This, after all, is a drama-deluged franchise that come playoff time recently seems more snakebit than a camper cohabiting with copperheads.
"It's been tough dealing with injuries and off-the-court stuff," point guard Deron Williams said.
"You know, these things happen. These things happen with every team," Williams added. "It just seems it happens more so with us the last couple years than other teams."
The Jazz's run of playoff madness actually started three years ago, when Utah's first playoff appearance post John Stockton and Karl Malone was marred early on by Kirilenko's meltdown in Houston.
The forward from Russia was so flustered by his diminished role at the time in the Jazz offense and a strained relationship with coach Jerry Sloan that he broke down one day during the first-round series, crying his eyes out as reporters awkwardly listened, cameras rolled and teammates wondered what in the world was going on.
Utah rebounded from a 0-2 deficit in that best-of-seven series to win 4-3 and ultimately advance to the Western Conference finals, only to have that matchup — against the eventual NBA-champion San Antonio Spurs — end with Williams blasting teammates for making early vacation plans.
In between those two series, the Jazz were burdened by much heavier obstacles.
Starting shooting guard Derek Fisher wasn't there for the start of Game 2 of the 2007 Western Conference semifinals, but he arrived in time to help Utah beat Golden State in overtime — then announced afterward that he and his wife had just flown in from New York, where his young daughter Tatum had undergone surgery for a rare form of childhood eye cancer.
"The Fish thing was crazy, because he was such a big part of our team," Jazz small forward C.J. Miles said. "But that's his family, and you know he has to be there for that.
"You love him for trying to get back for the game, trying to be there when he could, but it was tough, because it was made such a big deal and (some people) didn't know the whole story."
Unbeknownst to many, Jazz starting power forward Carlos Boozer and his wife CeCe were dealing around that same time with the reality that their young son Carmani was in a fight for his life with the devastating disease sickle cell anemia.
If all that wasn't enough to prepare the Jazz to face the travails of postseasons to come, perhaps nothing could.
"We've had some tough breaks come playoff time. We really have," Boozer said. "That year we had Fish (Fisher), we had a lot of stuff going on. He did, I did.
"We've had some tough things going on in our lives, but we've been able to overcome most of it. It would be nice to have a postseason without too many personal distractions, though, I'll tell you that. Or even injuries."
Tatum Fisher's life fortunately was saved, and now her father is back with defending NBA-champion Los Angeles Lakers.
Carmani Boozer thankfully was cured, too, his survival facilitated largely via transplant surgery made possible by the birth of twin brothers.
More roadblocks, however, would follow for both Boozer and the Jazz.

Who's we? Big Bird didn't need anybody to save it. If PBS lost its paltry government subsidy, they'd carry on. Twinkie and Hostess killed themselves in the process of the free market; either that or Americans who decided they didn't want to eat as much crap food killed it.
Agree. Who eats Twinkies anymore, anyway? As far as Big Bird, I'll be eating one next Thursday....and leftovers Friday, Saturday, and on and on and on. Govt. doesn't need to subsidize Big Bird.
Big Bird and SS expand a childs mind. Twinkies and Hostess expand waist lines. You tell me which is better for us.
Sucks they went out of business and ppl will lose their jobs but don't tell me its a waste to save something educational.
And yet again Dudek gives the wrong impression of the story. Maybe he should read the AP wire before reporting. Hostess filed for chapter 11 in Jan. 2012. Friday they filed a motion for liquidation this past friday in bankruptcy court. Sad to see an iconic American brand simply fade away, but competition, a move to healthier snacks, and the lack of long range thinking on both the corporate front and unions unwillingness to negotiate forces them to do away with the brand.
We're now going to have "Twinkie Dens," where Twinkie addicts can get their fix!
Sorry, it should have said other Twinkie Dens, other than La Cage.
I grew up luving those lucious Snowballs. Cupcakes are great but that cupcake blew my mind.

I've been advocating a new aftercare product and this article explains all about it!
You can read the full two-page article for free here on the Pain Magazine website.
I just saw the latest review of The Piercing Bible on Google books:
User Review - Johnny T This book is the best! I have been piercing for three years and i thought i knew a lot, but i recently picked up this book and it opened a whole new world for me! If you like body art it is an amazing ... More book to read and if you are learning how to perform body art then it is a must have! I have introduced all of my co-workers, friends and family to this book and all of them agree that it is great!
I also noticed that I have a total of 11 reviews there that have 5 stars, and none of them have any less than that, which is pretty wonderful and exciting!
Since long before any states had legislation to give piercers guidance, I always enforced a strong policy about piercing minors: Without exception, the parent or legal guardian must be present with the minor to sign the release form. Each party must have a valid photo ID* . If the parent's last name and/or address is different from the minor's, there must be legal documentation to prove the relationship. (Birth certificate, divorce papers, adoption papers, marriage certificate). Court papers are required to prove a relationship with a legal guardian. • I do not pierce minors below the neck with the exception of the navel. I will pierce earlobes only, on individuals between 12 and 16 years of age. •I will not pierce children under the age of 12. • If you are under 18 but legally married I can pierce you in the state of Louisiana. You need to bring your marriage license along with valid photo ID*. • If you are a legally emancipated minor I can pierce you in the state of Louisiana. You need to bring court papers along with a valid photo ID*. Some problems I have found with piercing minors:
The name of this book says it all. Not only does Angel offer sound advice for all types of piercings, but she gives cultural history, pre and post care instructions, information about body type and compatible piercings, health risks and management, sex and piercings, and information about traveling through airports or visiting the doctor with piercings that cannot easily be removed. She even offers advice to the frustrated parent. These are only a few of the many topics Angel covers in this 300 page Piercing Bible–there's even an index for keyword searches.
I purchased this book on a whim, even though I rarely ever do more than flip through a non fiction book, but I sat down to read a couple of chapters and discovered that four hours had passed and I had read most of the book cover to cover. Elaynes writing is thourough and informative, and it has broadened my opinions and misconceptions I had of many body piercings. If you have been toying with the idea of getting a piercing, or have had many, or if you are a piercer yourself–this book will provide you with two decades of expertise from the world's most knowledgeable piercer.
Hi Elayne,
My name is Chris. I just had a question for you and would like your input. I just got my ankle pierced between the ankle bones and the achille's tendon. I've had it in for two weeks and its a 14 gauge PTFE. The piercing is great and everybody either thinks I'm crazy or they love it. It's healing just fine, a little sore but I was expecting that. My question is, do u see any long term damage or and problem with this piercing at all? If you could please email me back I would love your advice.
Piercing behind bone, tendon, or other anatomical structure can cause excessive bleeding, nerve damage, and/or loss of function.
I just received this wonderful feedback from a reader on my Facebook page:
Hello Elayne, i have always been into body piercings and moodification since i was 14, i have had many done and always dreamed of being a piercer when i was older, i am now 23 and i have been offered an apprenticeship with a professional piercer in my home town. Your book was recommended to me by a friend's mother who is a nurse. I have read it twice now and just wanted to thank you for releasing an informative educational guide for piercees, piercers or people who are generally interested in body piercing. Keep up the good work and i hope many more books are sold.
The easiest, safest, most effective piercing care product ever!
GREAT for healing and troubled piercings.

Rex Hoggard reports on Brooks Koepka's ankle injury and how it will affect his play at the 2016 PGA Championship.said, yesterday when I spoke to him, throughout this is walking the golf course , he gets fatigued very easily, he's also having a hard time pushing off his right leg as he He swings the golf club. As we all know, Brooks is very explosive. So, he's kind of worried about his swing. And he did not sound 100%. I mean, obviously, these things that he has to worry about. I asked him point blank, if this was not a Major, if the Ryder Cup was not on the line, would you be playing this week? He said, honestly, probably not. Now he has spoken with Davis Love . Keep in mind he was 3rd on Ryder Cup's U.S. points list to start July. He has slipped all the way to 9th. And so this is Austin on his mine.
LPGA players cope with a busy summer schedule
Randall Mell reports on the busy summer schedule as the ladies get ready to play their 11th consecutive events at the 2016 Women's British Open.but how are the girls dealing with what has been an incredibly busy schedule so far this year? It is a lot of important events. Just in the last eight weeks we've had three Majors and the International Crown is a big event and then the Olympics. So it's coming up. So a huge deal, players trying to peak, but also it's been a challenge to pace themselves. Brooke Henderson has played 17 consecutive events, she played nine weeks in a row in that. But 17 consecutive LPG events and Lydia called her Superwoman after that. We asked Rick, about that, and Brooke said, hey if I'm at home I'm playing golf anyway so why not play. She said it's fun.

Woburn Golf Club hosting Women's British Open
Cara Robinson reports on Woburn Golf Club as a venue for the 2016 Women's British Open.me and my goodness it is fantastic to be here At Woburn Golf Club . I have to report that we've got some dry skies even some sun creeping out. We might be in for a pretty good week weather wise and really just can't wait to get it started. Well, that's great to hear Cara. Hopefully that sun will shine this week on the players. Now, a lot of our viewers may know Woburn as the home course of Ian Polter and Charlie Hall. What distinguishes this venue as a major championship site You know what Damon, first and foremost. This week is incredibly special to Woburn Golf Club . I was lucky enough to attend an evening last night, the nearby Woburn Abbey, it was hosted by the Duke of Bedford He was incredibly proud at what they're putting on. Although this is the tenth time they're staging this event, it is the first time, Damon, since it gained major championship status back in 2001. It will be the first women's event to be competed on the Marquess course, one of the three courses here at Woburn. And it is the first major championship Of any kind to be staged at Woburn. So, they're hugely excited about putting this event on. As for the golf course though it's not really what you would expect from a British Open. There's no pot bunkers or anything that you would usually find from a links layout. This certainly isn't a links golf course .

Adani Buys Linc Energy's Coal Asset for A$3 Billion
Adani Enterprises Ltd., India's biggest coal importer, agreed to buy a coal asset in Australia for A$3 billion ($2.7 billion) from Linc Energy Ltd. as demand for the fuel increases.
Adani will pay A$500 million in cash and a royalty of $2 a ton for 20 years, or A$2.5 billion, Linc said today in a statement, describing the acquisition as the largest by an Indian company in Australia. The purchase will give full control of the Galilee coal tenement in Queensland, Adani Enterprises said in a separate release.
India's thermal coal imports almost doubled to 60 million tons last year as the nation increased electricity generation capacity to end blackouts and sustain an economy forecast to grow more than 9 percent this fiscal year. India's economy has grown an average 8.4 percent since 2004, straining capacities at roads, ports and factories.
"It is about securing high calorific, good quality coal for its expansion plans," Deven Choksey, chief executive officer at K.R. Choksey Shares & Securities Pvt. that owns shares in Adani Enterprises, said before the announcement. "High quality coal helps operate power plants at higher capacities."
Adani Power Ltd., a sister company, plans to build power plants with a combined capacity of 6,600 megawatts by 2012, director Ameet Desai, said last August.
Adani Enterprises, which advanced 43 percent this year, gained 2.2 percent to 622.95 rupees at the close of trading in Mumbai. Linc requested its shares be halted from trading in Sydney, pending an announcement on the sale. The Brisbane-based company last traded at A$1.86.
Preferred Status
The purchase gives Adani Enterprises, controlled by billionaire Gautam Adani, access to 7.8 billion metric tons of coal resources, according to its statement. The area is capable of producing as much as 60 million tons of coal a year when fully operational, according to Linc's statement.
Adani Enterprises has been awarded a "preferred proponent status" for developing the Dudgeon Point terminal in Queensland, giving it a route to transport the coal, according to the company's statement. Dudgeon Point is located near the Hay Point and Dalrymple Bay coal terminals.
"The coal from the Galilee basin would support and enable the rapid expansion of the power business of Adani Power and expand Adani Enterprises' coal business," the company said in the statement.
Indian thermal coal imports surged last year to a little less than 60 million tons from about 30 million tons in 2008, Macquarie Group Ltd. said in a report in March. India plans to almost double electricity generation capacity by 2012, when the shortage of coal will exceed 200 million tons.

Welcome to Jack's Mini Network.
I have worked on many projects; ones available are on the projects page.
This includes a newer version of LaserTank that works on modern systems and that is cross platform.
I'm also working on Tomb Raider modding and will be introducing an account system on the website.
The purpose of this account system is to allow people to do the following:
This account will work for any other games I support in the future.
If someone has it enabled that you need a community account in the server configuration then you won't be able to connect to that server without an account. Public servers will require an account and if you consistently abuse rules of the mainstream servers you might be banned from all mainstream servers.
If you are banned from mainstream servers this doesn't stop you connecting to other peoples servers or privately hosted servers.
Using a community account will also allow servers to store data based off your account so you could resume progress depending on the server. An example of this is your weapons and ammo.

Grief and Developmental Stages continued...
Did I make the death happen?
Children often think that they have "magical powers". If a mother is irritated and says, "You'll be the death of me" and later dies, her child may wonder if he or she actually caused the mother's death. Also, when children argue, one may say (or think), "I wish you were dead." If that child dies, the surviving child may think that those thoughts caused the death.
Is it going to happen to me?
The death of another child may be very hard for a child. If the child thinks that the death may have been prevented (by either a parent or a doctor) the child may fear that he or she could also die.
Who is going to take care of me?
Since children depend on parents and other adults to take care of them, a grieving child may wonder who will care for him or her after the death of an important person.
Talking honestly about the death and including the child in rituals may help the grieving child.
Explain the death and answer questions.
Talking about death helps children learn to cope with loss. When talking about death with children, describe it simply. Each child should be told the truth using as much detail as he or she is able to understand. Answer questions in language the child can understand.
Children often worry that they will also die, or that their surviving parent will go away. They need to be told that they will be safe and taken care of.
Use the correct language.
When talking with the child about death, include the correct words, such as "cancer," "died," and "death." Using other words or phrases (for example, "he passed away," "he is sleeping," or "we lost him") can confuse children and cause them to misunderstand.
Include the child in planning and attending memorial ceremonies.
When a death occurs, children may feel better if they are included in planning and attending memorial ceremonies. These events help children remember the loved one. Children should not be forced to be involved in these ceremonies, but encourage them to take part when they feel comfortable doing so. Before a child attends a funeral, wake, or memorial service, give the child a full explanation of what to expect. A familiar adult or family member may help with this if the surviving parent's grief makes him or her unable to.

I'm using TimThumb to add thumbnails to posts, and would like to have a row of thumbnails product close-ups at the bottom of a post. I'd like to use Custom fields to enter these into a post, then have a call-up in the end of the loop to grab these custom fields and display them.
Each post will have a different set of images. I'd like to set it up so my client can add those thumbs in custom fields and call them "thumb1", thumb2", etc.... and know that the page will automatically add them. So I'd write the code so it will look for "thumb1", "thumb2", etc....and put them in a line under the post. So the code needs to call up all the thumbs, regardless how many are added.
I've searched around trying to find how to put multiple timthumb thumbnails in the content of a post, and I'm finding nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Madhuri was shy shooting 'intense scenes' with Naseer
By IANS - MUMBAI
Published: 25th November 2013 07:18 PM
Last Updated: 25th November 2013 07:18 PM
Madhuri Dixit, who has some intimate scenes with award winning actor Naseeruddin Shah in the forthcoming film "Dedh Ishqiya", says she was shy doing them, thanks to her co-star's intense eyes.
"I found his eyes very intense. Whenever I did intense scenes with him, I used to get very shy. This is for the first time I found myself in such a situation," Madhuri told reporters Monday at an event here.
"When you are with him, you don't have to act, you just have to react. He is such a natural actor," added the actress.
A sequel to Vidya Balan starrer 2009 hit film "Ishqiya", this will be Madhuri's first full-fledged movie role in six years. She feels filmmaking has undergone a lot of changes in the last few years.
She was last seen playing the lead in 2007 release "Aaja Nachle".
"Things have changed. There is a lot of discipline now. Things are well planned now, which is good for the actors. Promotions have become a big deal and it's very hectic, but it's all for the good," said the actress of hits like "Beta", "Dil To Pagal Hai" and "Devdas".
Recently, she made a guest appearance in the "Ghaghra" song in hit movie "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani".
The 46-year-old will be seen as Begum Para, an attractive yet dangerous woman in "Dedh Ishqiya", which has been shot in the interiors of the country.
Talking about her experience Madhuri said that they shot in the "remotest locations for the film but I didn't know it will look so good on the screen."
Directed by Abhishek Chaubey, "Dedh Ishqiya" also features Arshad Warsi and Huma Qureshi.

Bahrani people
The Baharna (Arabic: بحراني ، بحارنة) are an ethnoreligious group whom mainly inhabit the historical region of Eastern Arabia. They are regarded by some scholars to be the original inhabitants of the Bahrain archipelago.[1] Most Shia Bahraini citizens are ethnic Baharna. Regions with most of the population are Eastern Arabia, Bahrain, Qatif, Al-Hasa, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Iran, Iraq
The origin of Baharna is uncertain;[1] there are different theories regarding their origins. Several Western scholars believe the Baharna originate from Bahrain's pre-Islamic population which consisted of partially Christianized Arabs,[2][3] Persian Zoroastrians, Jews[1] and Aramaic-speaking agriculturalists.[2][4][5] According to one historian, Arab settlements in Bahrain may have begun around 300 B.C. and control of the island was maintained by the Rabyah tribe, who converted to Islam in 630 A.D.[6] One theory claims the Baharna "immigrated to Bahrain during the Ummayad and Abbasid caliphates from different parts of the Muslim world."[2]
There are many gaps and inconsistencies in the genealogies of those claiming descent from Abd al-Qays in Bahrain, therefore Baharna are probably descendants of an ethnically mixed population.[7] Bahraini society has traditionally divided itself into three genealogical categories in order: "ansab" (clear genealogies), "la ansab" (unclear genealogies) and "bani khudair" (foreigner).[8] Baharna were "la ansab" because they have uncertain ancestry.[8]
The Bahrani Arabic dialect exhibits Akkadian, Aramaic and Syriac features.[9][10] The sedentary people of pre-Islamic Bahrain were Aramaic speakers and to some degree Persian speakers, while Syriac functioned as a liturgical language.[4] The Bahrani Arabic dialect might have borrowed the Akkadian, Aramaic and Syriac features from the Iraqi Arabic dialect.[11]
Since only little is known about their ancestry, Sir Robert Hay referred to the Baharna as "Arabs without a pedigree".[1] According to Robert Bertram Serjeant, the Baharna may be the Arabized "descendants of converts from the original population of Christians (Aramaeans), Jews and ancient Persians (Majus) inhabiting the island and cultivated coastal provinces of Eastern Arabia at the time of the Arab conquest".[2][12]
The term Bahrani serves to distinguish the Bahrani people from other Shias in Bahrain, such as the ethnic Persian Bahrainis who fall under the term Ajam, as well as from the Sunni Najdi immigrants in Bahrain who are known as Al Arab ("Arabs").[13]
The "Hasawis" of Al Hasa are ethnically distant from Bahranis.[14][15]
In the United Arab Emirates, the term "Baharna" refers to Arabic-speaking Shias regardless of their origins.[16]
In Arabic, bahrayn is the dual form of bahr ("sea"), so al-Bahrayn means "the Two Seas". However, which two seas were originally intended remains in dispute.[17] The term appears five times in the Qur'an, but does not refer to the modern island—originally known to the Arabs as "Awal"—but rather to the oasis of al-Katif and Hadjar (modern al-Hasa).[17] It is unclear when the term began to refer exclusively to the Awal islands, but it was probably after the 15th century.[citation needed]
Today, Bahrain's "two seas" are instead generally taken to be the bay east and west of the island,[18] the seas north and south of the island,[citation needed] or the salt and fresh water present above and below the ground.[19] In addition to wells, there are places in the sea north of Bahrain where fresh water bubbles up in the middle of the salt water, noted by visitors since antiquity.[20]
An alternate theory offered by al-Ahsa was that the two seas were the Great Green Ocean and a peaceful lake on the mainland;[which?] still another provided by al-Jawahari is that the more formal name Bahri (lit. "belonging to the sea") would have been misunderstood and so was opted against.[19]
Local anecdotal evidence suggests that the Baharna's Arab ancestry is diverse as some word variants spoken in the dialects of the native people of the villages of Bani Jamra and A'ali are only used in places as far as Yemen and Oman (putative homeland of the natives of A'ali).[21]
Members of the Abdulqays tribe which was situated in Eastern Arabia for centuries were mostly Nestorian Christians until the 7th century.[22]

Thus the elements in the pre-Islamic ethno-linguistic situation in eastern Arabia appear to have been a mixed tribal population of partially Christianised Arabs of diverse origins who probably spoke different old Arabian vernaculars; a mobile Persian-speaking population, possibly of traders and administrators, with strong links to Persia, which they maintained close contact; a sedentary, non-tribal community of Aramaic-speaking agriculturalists; a Persian clergy, who we know for certain, used Syriac as a language of liturgy and writing more generally, probably alongside Persian as a spoken language.

Royce Gracie Interview: Metamoris, One FC, UFC & Sport Jiu-Jitsu
"any thing is possible you just need the discipline to get up and do it, to get up and practice"
Fighting Lifestyle UAE caught up with Royce Gracie during his visit to Dubai at HM fitness centre. Royce Gracie is considered to be the most influential man in the history of modern MMA and is accredited for bringing the effectiveness of Brazilian Jiujitsu mainstream. Gracie talks to us about submission only tournaments such as the Metamoris and gives us his opinion on what Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu has evolved into over the years with techniques such as Berimbolo & the Worm Guard being introduced into sport BJJ.
In addition Royce Gracie commented on the One FC coming to Dubai on August 29:
"One Fc gets a lot of fighters from this side of the world from ASIA, from Mideast, a lot of people who don't have the chance to go and compete in the UFC to go compete in America, You see there is so much talent in this side, so many people have been training already for so long, and the One Fc is the way in for them to get a future in Martial Arts & in Fighting."
Royce Gracie believes that there should be more submission only tournaments introduced, after we asked him his opinion on Rickson Gracie's plans of introducing a federation, that would resemble more of the Budo Challenge tournaments.

Rihanna in Designer Jeans
Rihanna in Current/Elliott
Rihanna in Anoname
While backstage at the 2010 Grammy's, Rihanna wore a pair of Anoname jeans light wash "Driftwood" destroyed jeans. She swung by one of the gift lounges, where she posed for pictures with Justin Bieber. Rihanna's jeans, which Kate Beckinsale is also a fan of, retail for $110 and will be available for purchase at Anoname Jeans.com in April.
Rihanna in Current/Elliott
Rihanna and new boyfriend Matt Kemp, were seen at the Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Clippers game. She was wearing Current/Elliott leggings that she was spotted in a while back. I find the wash of these jeans to be great, it makes the outfit more casual. Rihanna seems to a big fan of the sneaker/heel hybrid, she has been spotted in the style a few times. Is it me or does anyone else think Rihanna should get dark hair again?

Goldman Sachs Director Gupta Dealt With Rajaratnam
Goldman Sachs Group Inc.'s November 2006 announcement of Rajat Kumar Gupta's election to its board brimmed with the India native's achievements: worldwide managing director of McKinsey & Co.; special adviser to the Secretary- General of the United Nations on management reform, co-chairman of the American India Foundation charity, whose honorary chair is former President Bill Clinton.
Goldman Sachs Chairman Lloyd Blankfein said at the time: "Our shareholders will be fortunate to have his strategic and operational expertise and judgment." Now, with his term ending next month, Gupta is leaving the board.
On March 19, without explanation, the firm announced his decision, thanking him for his service. Three days later, prosecutors said they were examining trades in Goldman Sachs shares by Raj Rajaratnam, the central figure in the largest U.S. insider-trading case ever and a onetime Gupta business partner.
Gupta, 61, is being examined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which sued Rajaratnam, according to a person familiar with the Galleon investigation who asked not to be identified because the matter is ongoing and confidential.
"Rajat Gupta's record of ethical conduct and integrity in his professional and personal life is beyond reproach," his lawyer, Gary Naftalis, of Kramer, Levin, Naftalis & Frankel LLP, said in an interview. "He has made significant philanthropic and civic contributions in the United States, India, and around the world. He violated no laws or rules and did nothing wrong."
Goldman Comment
Goldman spokesman Ed Canaday declined to comment on the departure of Gupta, who earned $450,000 as a firm director last year, according to a regulatory filing.
Gupta, who has served on the Goldman board's audit, compensation and corporate-governance committees, is a native of Kolkata, a Communist-run city in Eastern India. From lower middle-class beginnings, he managed an elite education and career: Delhi's Modern School in the 1960s, a degree from the Indian Institute of Technology in 1971, Harvard Business School in 1973, and a job at McKinsey right after graduation.
He lost both his parents before he turned 18, according to a 1993 interview he gave to Indian business magazine Business Today when he was appointed head of McKinsey. At Harvard, he was "reticent" to speak up in class, according to the interview. Now he speaks regularly at conferences in India and overseas on subjects including the Indian economy, investing, education, and public health.
'Principal Architect'
"Rajat was the principal architect of the initiative to establish the Public Health Foundation of India," said Srinath Reddy, president of the public-private partnership set up to train health professionals.
Gupta was honorary chair of an HIV/AIDS fundraiser in January 2007 in New York, called "A Night for India," which raised more than $575,000 for victims of the disease in India. Raj and Asha Rajaratnam, who pledged $1.5 million in 2006 to combat HIV/AIDS in India, were honored and the New York Philharmonic played a concert at the Avery Fisher Hall event.
Gupta, who speaks English, Hindi and Bengali, has tried for years to keep a regular bridge game going as a hobby, but his global travel schedule has made that difficult, said one of his card partners who asked not to be identified.
Westport Home
He is married with four daughters and owns a waterfront home in Westport, Connecticut, valued at $9 million.
After serving as McKinsey's worldwide chief from 1994 to 2003, then as a senior worldwide partner until 2007, Gupta withdrew from the consulting firm and joined the boards of American Airlines parent AMR Corp., Procter & Gamble Co., Harman International Industries Inc., Genpact Ltd., the business outsourcing company, and Russia's OAO Sberbank, earning at least $2.8 million in 2009 in compensation, regulatory filings show.
Some of these companies are sticking with him notwithstanding the publicity about his ties to Rajaratnam.
"We have every confidence in Rajat's integrity," Procter & Gamble spokesman Paul Fox said April 16. On the same day, Sberbank Chief Executive Officer German Gref said Gupta would remain an independent director on the Moscow-based bank's board.
So far, 11 people have pleaded guilty in the insider- trading probe. Rajaratnam, founder of hedge-fund firm Galleon Group LLC, denies any wrongdoing. He is scheduled to be tried in October on criminal charges.
Raj's Arrest
Rajaratnam was arrested Oct. 16. Many of the allegations against him involve trading shares of technology companies, such as Advanced Micro Devices Inc. In a March 22 letter to Rajaratnam's lawyers, made public April 9, prosecutors said they also had an interest in his trading in Goldman stock in 2008.
In a filing April 16, they said they were looking at trades made before a September 2008 disclosure that Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Chairman Warren Buffett would pay $5 billion to acquire Goldman preferred stock paying 10 percent interest.
Gupta joined with Rajaratnam and two other partners, including former Goldman Sachs Asia chairman Mark Schwartz, to form Taj Capital Partners in 2006. According to an October 2006 marketing document, the fund aimed to put $2 billion primarily into South Asian investments, half of it through a hedge fund run by Rajaratnam.
This involvement with the former Galleon Group chairman was short-lived. Rajaratnam withdrew from the deal when the other principals of the firm, now called New Silk Route Partners, decided against being a hedge fund.
'Creme de la Creme'
Gupta and Rajaratnam and their wives Anita and Asha attended galas staged by the American India Foundation, on whose Council of Trustees both served. In May 2009, they were among the "creme de la creme crowd" that dined on Tandoori lamb chops, raising $1.5 million for charity in an auction while honoring KKR & Co. co-founder Henry Kravis, according to Indian-American society Web site Lassi With Lavina.
Last year, Gupta advised Kravis and KKR co-founder George Roberts on how to manage the firm's expansion. It's an assignment Gupta handled himself at McKinsey, which grew from 500 employees to 9,000 in the 35 years he spent at the consulting firm.
On March 17, Gupta's firm, New Silk Route, joined KKR's India unit and Standard Chartered Plc's private-equity branch in investing $200 million in an India-based coffee chain called Café Coffee Day.
White House Dinner
Gupta and his wife were among dignitaries who attended a White House state dinner in November to honor Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, White House records show. White House spokesman Ben Labolt declined to comment.
Gupta, who has been a U.S. citizen since 1984, had a relationship with another Galleon case defendant, Anil Kumar, a friend and associate from his days at McKinsey. Kumar pleaded guilty Jan. 8 to leaking inside information to Rajaratnam over five years in exchange for $1.75 million. Kumar is now cooperating with federal prosecutors.
During Gupta's time at McKinsey, Kumar headed an operation to outsource high-level McKinsey research to India. Gupta has spent much of his time in India, partly working on deals, since he stepped down at McKinsey in 2007.
Gupta and Kumar have both served on the board of the Hyderabad-based Indian School of Business, opened in 2001 because of an effort by Gupta and other Indian business leaders to create a quality higher-education institution in the country.
School Ties
Gupta had already served on advisory boards of the Harvard Business School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Sloan School of Management, the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania and Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management. Kellogg and Wharton are now academic partners at the Indian Business School, which the Financial Times ranked in the top 20 business schools of the world in 2009.
"Rajat and Anil played a very good, strong pivotal role in the Indian School of Business," said Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw, the Chairman of Biocon Ltd. and one of India's most successful female entrepreneurs.
Shaw, on the executive board of the Indian School of Business, described Gupta as "very passionate" about the school. "It's very unfortunate that he is going through this sort scrutiny and allegations," she said.
Among his India deals, he and other investors, including Ramesh Vangal, an ex-president for Asia Pacific at PepsiCo Inc.'s international foods unit, bought shares in a small, privately held bank in Tuticorin, India. Tamilnad Mercantile Bank Ltd. serves fewer than 3 million customers and posted a 684 million rupee ($15.3 million) profit in the 2009 fiscal year, according to its Web site. Its shares paid a 1,000 percent dividend in 2007 and 2008, and 6,000 percent in 2009, according to Chief Executive Officer G. Nagamal Reddy.
India Scrutiny
Gupta and the other investors acquired a 23 percent stake in the bank by buying shares from private parties, according to Reddy. A shareholder complaint to the Reserve Bank of India, which controls ownership above 5 percent in banks, resulted in an RBI opinion that Gupta, Vangal and the others "were acting in concert," Reddy said.
"The Reserve Bank found that in light of the evidence presented to them, the investors were part of a group," he said. The RBI recommended further investigation, according to Reddy.
Reserve Bank of India spokeswoman Alpana Killawala didn't return a call seeking comment nor did Vangal, who was also e-mailed. Gupta declined to comment at the time.
Airwave Auction
Augere Ltd., another company in which Gupta's fund owns a stake, will compete this month in an airwave auction in India.
The company, registered in Mauritius, has a net worth of $79.8 million, according to ownership documents filed with India's Department of Telecommunications.
Bids for the airwave auction start at $380 million. Competition from companies such as Vodafone Group Plc., Bharti Airtel Ltd. and Qualcomm Inc. may push the winning price, payable immediately, to more than $1 billion, according to Macquarie Group Ltd. regional head of telecoms research Shubham Majumder.

Product Description
From the Inside Flap
Mediterranean breezes caressed her, and Leah could not help but pause between kitchen and bath house. She lifted her face to the cry of the sea birds and the few clouds overhead. Sea waves lapped gently along the promontory's edge. Not even the first stirrings within the palace compound behind her could wipe out her sense of peace. Leah finally turned toward the elaborate courtyard with its columns and statuary, the opulent ceramic tiled baths, and the impressive marbled facade of the palace. No childhood dreams had ever included residing in the palace of the Prelate of Palestine. In different circumstances, Leah would have found it all impossibly beautiful. In different circumstances...Leah sighed and turned away. The reality was that she was here because she had no other recourse. Far to the northwest lay her home. True, it was no longer her home, but it still held her heart. There her mother faced a new dawn also, alone. Leah yearned to be with her, giving what love and comfort she was able. But trapped within this imposing palace, she was surrounded by elegance she could appreciate only from a distance. Yes, even though she had been born to wealth, to position, yet here she was little more than a slave. Bitterness filled her throat and caught her breath. She pushed the dark thoughts aside, cast one more longing look out over the wide expanse of sea, and with a determined lift of her shoulders walked on toward the bathhouse. Her first of many duties for the day would have her laying out fresh towels and robes...
From the Back Cover
A sweeping saga of the dramatic events surrounding the birth of Christianity-- and the very personal story of Leah, compelled into a betrothal she never wanted, drawn by a faith she never expected... When her family's wealth and power are lost forever, Leah is sent to Pontius Pilate in hopes that he might arrange a strategic marriage. But despite her betrothed's striking countenance and position, Leah deems life as a centurion's wife a fate worse than death. Head of the garrison near Galilee, Alban has ambitions that could one day see him at the seat of power--in Rome itself. Eager to prove himself, he takes on the assignment of a lifetime, one that will put his career, his beliefs, and his very life at risk. But when the death--and missing body--of an obscure rabbi find Leah and Alban searching for the same answers, what they discover changes everything.See all Product Description

I am looking for ways to test the net speed on a linux box with no GUI from the command line. I am not interested in tools like bmon/iftop/wget/curl especially from the upload side of things, for download it is pretty easy with wget on different targets and servers(places). But i am more interested in the upload side of things, which is the most important part of a server's bandwidth. I want to test the upload speed on different servers and places around the world just like you could do it by visiting speedtest.net using a browser with flash. If that tool can handle download speeds too that way then all the better then.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.

I'm not aware of a way to do this without a cooperating remote server. If you upload data, it has to go somewhere... Sites like speedtest.net do exactly that (they have a data sink somewhere).
Provided you do have ssh access to a remote server with a download link somewhat faster than the upload link you want to test, you may achieve this rather simply with netcat :
On your remote server (let's assume IP 220.127.116.11) :
On the machine you want to test :
Divide the file size by the "real" time and you have an estimation of your speed.
Note that you only need to run nc once on the server, and it will accept any number of sequential tests. If you only want it to work once (for security reasons or whatever), omit the -k flag.
I took this from another post I found here and thought I would pass it on:
It looks like there is a tool available on sourceforge that uses speedtest.net from the terminal.
Terminal speedtest: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tespeed/
You run it on both sides of the connection and it can measure bandwidth either way, with TCP or UDP, and has many tweakable parameters.
This is a great tool tespeed. It tests your upload and download speeds with great details.
I don't think that exists some command-line tool for this kind of test, but someone seems to have your same question, take a look at the solutions suggested there..
speed testing using iperf is advisable if you want a command line tool for that. Iperf is an awesome tool because of the following reasons:

In the name of profit boeing persists to put people on risky plastic airplanes
Sentiment: Strong Sell
All modern fighters are fabricated from advanced composites. The lightweight yet strong primary structures on these plane enable them to turn on a dime and carry more payload. It is only the cost of carbon fiber composites that has prevented them from being used widely in commercial aviation. We are not talking about cheapo plastics found in a toy store. These plastics are safe and have known failure modes.
Its different, military airplanes are designed to go kill and come back and their safety is less of a concern than an airliner. The main problem of carbon fiber on an airliner is when water penetrates between parts and freezes, the carbon fiber will start cracking. All the people that are in the know and I am one of theme will tell you that, and they will also tell you that Boeing is incapable of addressing that problem and they never did. I can assure you that batteries and what I am telling you here is the tip of the iceberg for the 787 problems, it will be too long to treat the problem here on this bord.
Arrogance will cost boeing a lot of money when they are forced to stop the production of that dangerous plasticliner
right on
Time for BA to stop production of composite plastic airplanes and admit that they are not in the best interest of the public's safety. They are only good for the bottom line but dangerous. I would never fly on a 787 or a composite plastic plane. No way to surbvic a crash landing.

SOURCE: Peterson, Linda H. "Harriet Martineau's Household Education: Revising the Feminine Tradition." Bucknell Review 34, no. 2 (1990): 183-94.
In the following essay, Peterson suggests that Martineau's Household Education is an important radical work for its dismissal of differences in the educational needs of girls and boys, and for its suggestion that male-dominated public schools are unnecessary and that education is best done at home, giving girls increased opportunity to be instructed and women increased opportunity to instruct.
Beginning in 1846, Harriet Martineau published two series of articles in a short-lived magazine called The People's Journal: one on travel called "Lake and Mountain Holidays," another on education under such unlikely titles as "The Natural Possessions of Man," "How to Expect," and "The Golden Mean."1 Though The People's Journal (like many another radical...
