In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 game played between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), AB de Villiers won thunderous applause for his jaw-dropping innings of 89. However, the vanquished fast bowler, Dale Steyn too was hailed for being gracious in defeat. Bharath Ramaraj looks back at the rare treasured moment when Steyn showed great sportsman spirit.
At present, the wonderful world of cricket seems to be made up of a mob of cricketers who snarl, growl and sledge their way to taste the glory of success. It has virtually become a part and parcel of the game to see a fast bowler and group of fielders bad mouthing a batsman like a pack of hungry vultures. The days of showcasing sportsman spirit by upholding the well-established traditions of the 'gentleman's game' seems more like a thing of the past.
However, in the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 game, the incredibly talented AB de Villiers — with his preternatural hand-eye co-ordination — destroyed undisputedly the world's best quick bowler, Dale Steyn. He smashed him in a 360-degree arc. But the amazing story was more to do with Steyn showcasing sportsman spirit after being clambered by de Villiers.
Steyn, known for his profusion of virtuosity to swing the ball late with a bolt upright seam was for once treated like a net bowler, and was thumped for 24 runs a single over. But that did not stop the genial Steyn from clapping his good mate, de Villiers, at the end of the over, and opining that he is in a 'different class' to rest of the batsmen going around.
After the nail-biting contest got over with Bangalore eschewing a memorable win, the swing-merchant went one step further by hugging his South African team-mate. One associates a fast bowler to be grumpy on the cricket field, who with his piercing glare and sledging just wants to get the better of a batsman. Steyn showed remarkable sportsman spirit by being gracious in defeat. In fact, Steyn hugging de Villiers at the end of the game will probably go down as one of the most treasured moments in the history of the IPL.
The glitzy and glamorous world of the IPL rightly has its share of critics, but when you see a slew of world-class players combining fabulous skill with geometric precision to leave everyone spellbound, you have to say that the tournament is here to stay. And then you get to see a rare moment of a cricketer, who has reached lofty heights with his banana-bending swing bowling showcasing sportsman spirit of the highest order, it tells us that everything isn't lost for the gentleman's game. One can only salute Dale Steyn!

Reviews of Khwai Tented Camp
They do not necessarily represent the views of Expert Africa.
Khwai Tented Camp review
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Khwai. The staff were wonderful and the accommodation was fun (though not for those who can't do without their creature comforts!).
The game sightings vastly exceeded our expectations - although supposedly a sub-optimal time of year (late April), in our 3 days we saw lion, leopard, elephant, hyena + pups, giraffe, hippo, zebra, monitor lizards, wart hog, several different species of antelope and many wonderful birds.
The only criticism (which only became apparent to us after visiting another camp) is that Khwai is a relatively small concession with several operators in the vicinity. Hence good sightings (e.g. hyena pups or a lion kill) rapidly attracted 5 or 6 vehicles. In addition, the area is not as visually attractive as that at, say, Kwara.
small more basic camp but very enjoyable
A small basic camp with small tents but again a really enjoyable stay.
The staff did everything to make our stay excellent.
Best safari of our entire trip
What makes this place special are the people. It is a small camp--just six tents--so you really get to know the wonderful staff intimately. They join the guests for meals, so it feels like you are eating with family. Special kudos to Mercy, the camp manager, Kwest, the big boss, and Mwamo, our incredible guide. He has only been doing it for six months, but he is a complete natural at it.
Mention a type of animal you would like to see, and he seems to magically find one--in the pitch black dark, just by waving a flashlight into the bush. The entire camp sings a welcoming song upon your arrival, and wishes you off on departure with yet another song and dance.
We loved every minute of our stay.
Khwai Tented Camp
The tents, while small, were quite comfortable and contained all the necessary facilities. The bucket shower was a novelty and okay for a short stay.
The food was good and the staff was very friendly. Canaan and Abali (sorry if I misspelled that) helped my husband with his quest to learn some phrases in Setswana which he very much enjoyed.
The game viewing was good but our guide seemed to feel that he needed to get us to where the game was as quickly as possible and drove very fast over some bumpy tracks. I don't think the pressure came from us, we were quite happy to see any and all animals. A slower pace would have suited us just fine.
Great place to begin
Khwai is a permanent tented camp with basic accommodations and great service. The tents had
modest beds with down comforters, flush toilet, bucket shower that they filled with water heated
over the fire, separate dining tent where they served surprisingly good meals. The staff met our
every need.
After landing at the Khwai airstrip, Pilot and MP took us on a great game drive on the way to the
camp. Since there were only five tents, my husband stayed with one of our daughters in one
tent and I stayed with our other daughter in another tent. We were zipped in at night and heard
lion growls, hyena laughs, and elephants strolling through camp to munch on the acacia pods.
A night game drive on our second night at Khwai we experienced many first sightings. Pilot would
stop the 4x4 vehicle at almost every sighting or when we asked to spend a bit more time.
We thought this was the perfect place to start our adventure in Botswana.
Great Safari at Kwhai Tented Camp
While the traditional East Africa tented camp is not for everyone, it was for us. We enjoyed the small size and personal attention of every staff member. For wild life viewing it was excellent and our guide, Pilot, was truly outstanding. You could tell he loved his job, the country and its wildlife, and worked hard to see that you got to see everything it offered--from watching leapord devour its kill in the tree on the night drive, to tracking that same leopard the next day, to tracking mama lion and her cubs--both day and night.
We saw a wide variety of mamals and birds too numerous to mention--but I photographed them all.
Food was excellent--prepared by the very capable Temptation, who had been trained in the culinary arts by Orient Express. She had to prepare her meals on a small four top gas stove stove and every meal was presented beautifully and hot. By the end of our three days we felt like part of their family.
Tent life was what we had expected from a previous trip on the Serengetti, and we always had hot water for showers and morning game drives--cold temperatures at night were made more comfortable by hot water bottles in bed. This was the first of 3 camps visited in Botswana, and for personal attention and devotion/skill of the guide/tracker, it was not exceeded.
Great time at Khwai Tented Camp
We had 3 nights at Khwai Tented Camp in November 2009 - our second camp of 3 on this trip. We were picked up from the airstrip by our guide Pilot and driven 10 minutes to the camp, where we were greeted in song by the camp staff - a lovely welcome!
The camp is quite small (only 4 tents) and is quite different to the more typical permanent cabin type structures in other camps. It is, however, exactly what we were hoping for in that it is more basic and you feel closer to the animals and your surroundings. The tents are perfectly large enough for two substantial beds, bedside tables, storage chests etc. with a wash basin and flush WC in the adjoining 'room'. The outdoor bucket shower was perfectly adequate and provided plenty of water for the two of us to shower comfortably and the very willing staff would fill it up with hot water on request. A shaded area with chairs at the front of the tent was much appreciated during siesta.
The communal dining tent had 24 hour bar and tea and coffee areas, together with comfortable settee/chairs with coffee table and supply of books and magazines. Outside the dining tent was a fire area with seating and a hammock. The camp overlooked the River Khwai with a wooded area on the far side.
The camp staff were very efficient and friendly and could not have looked after us better. Nothing was too much trouble and we couldn't have asked for more. The food was absolutely magnificent - cooked by Thaelo and served by Joe. Without doubt the best food of our stay in Botswana - and the other camps were pretty good! Salvation and the other staff were pleasant, cheerful and very efficient. We wrote some very favourable comments in the guest book but were surprised to be told that the staff were discouraged from reading the book! I can't help thinking this is a bit short sighted.
The guiding was excellent - Pilot was very knowledgable and good company. We enjoyed game drives and a guided walk with him - game viewing was excellent - including lion, elephant, impala, kudu, leopard tortoise, giraffe, cheetah, hippo, leopard, zebra, side striped jackal, wildcat, baboon, buffalo, tsessebe, red lechwe, warthog, waterbuck, dwarf mongoose, spring hare, honey badger, vervet monkey, crocodile. Birds too were fabulous - far too may to list, but we were very happy to see such a variety.
We very much enjoyed Khwai Tented Camp and we would not hesitate to return.
Camping at its best!!!
Maruska came up with the KTC and said, "This place is quite new to us but we are getting good feedback and hopefully you will like it, it is a bit like the camps used to be in the old days". She was right and it really was a brilliant place.
This place was the highlight of our trip not least because of the enthusiasm of the Guide called Pilot and all the camp staff.
We were greeted with a beautiful welcoming song and dance and shown to our tent. Our tent was the first in a line of four semi permanent tents. Beautifully clean with a very comfortable bed, plenty of luggage space and the outside bucket shower!! Toilet and washbowl were in a separate section of the tent separated by a zip up tent wall!
Warm water was available for washing in the outside washbasins whenever we came back from a drive and first thing in the morning. The smell of wood smoke and the glowing fire at breakfast each morning and after the dinner was something to remember. The food was consistently excellent and always served with beautiful smiles from 'Open' the newly recruited waiter and Tilo the wonderful cook.
Pilot the guide was outstanding. We couldn't praise him highly enough and was the best we encountered during our entire trip. His enthusiasm was never ending- for a man who has been in the business for 22 yrs! He would make new roads through the bush to track leopards and his tracking instincts were amazing!!
His enthusiasm was such that when we found 2 leopards he took even more photos than us!! Time was never a problem and he gave us that luxury of being able to spend as much time as we wanted with the animals. These 3 nights here in many ways made our trip. Maruska, very well done and thanks for getting us here.
lovely stay being spoiled at kwhai
We spent three-nights at Kwhai tented camp and were spoiled rotten from the first to the last minute by the friendly and competent staff. Everyone went out of their way to make us feel at home and our needs were catered for at all times.
The tented rooms are smaller than in Linyanti Bush Camp, but nevertheless extremely comfortable. The lack of running water and electricity in the camp simply adds to the experience! We always had plenty of hot water whenever we needed it and the bucket showers were just great. The food and service at mealtimes were excellent too.
The game drives were a real treat with our guide Pilot. Polite, friendly, extremely knowledgable and a whole lot of fun, he enabled us to see lions on three different occasions, spend around an hour observing and then following a cheetah and then shortly afterwards to see a leopard.
Game was generally easier to spot in the Kwhai area than it had been in our previous camp in Linyanti because of more open areas and Pilot certainly helped us get "our money's worth" with his skill.
If you are travelling in July make sure you do bring some warm clothes as it certainly does get chilly after sundown and stays so until well into the morning. The warm ponchos provided for the game drives and the hot-water bottles in the beds were great!
The only negative comment is that we were asked to sign a form in which we exonerate African Bush Camps from any responsibility even in the case of gross negligence. The wording needs to be changed here.
Khwai Tented Camp review
The Kwhai Tented Camp set itself apart from any other place we stayed when we were greeted by the staff doing a song and dance upon our arrival. We were told by Shaka that we would be spoiled during our stay at Khwai Tented Camp and we were. The accommodations struck a great balance between rustic and luxurious. The fact that there is no running water or electricity didn't distract from anything, in fact it added to it. Plenty of gas lamps and hand-powered torches were provided for lighting. Canvas basins were filled with warm water so that we could freshen up before our morning game drives, we had water for drinking and basic needs readily available within our tent. Upon our request the "bucket" for our bucket shower was promptly filled with warm water that made for a great outdoor shower that seemed to last forever! In addition, our game drives often lasted longer than what was scheduled.
In the mornings we had a wonderful fire that warmed oats, which were a part of the breakfast buffet that was set up on a table. The food was of the highest quality and even more impressive when one takes into account it is prepared over an open fire.
Shaka was definitely one of the best guides we encountered on our trip. His knowledge and expertise of mammals, birds, etc...set him a part from others. While we saw many wonderful things (birds and mammals) a couple of highlights that stand out are locating a pride of four lions feasting on a buffalo and the tracking of a leopard. The tracking of the leopard was particularly impressive as it took about an hour of tracking before finding her. Once Shaka found her, we had the gift of about 25 or more minutes to watch a range of behaviors that ranged from stalking to sleeping.
Upon returning from each game drive we were greeted with song and dance and a warm/wet wash cloth to freshen up. Staff would also ask us how the drive was and were more than ready to hear our story of what happened. In addition to the areas in front of our tent , there is a nice lounging area for all people within the camp, complete with a hammock and several chairs and a couch. What also makes this camp unique is its close proximity to a local bushman village.
All meals were served family style and Shaka joined us for them. This was a great time to learn more from him about his experience in Botswana and the surrounding area.

Please look at this image:
The image shows a "diff" of two similar but not identical index structures on a table. Problems:
As you can see, the indexes 1 and 2 are named differently, so they should ne be compared. They should be listed in different lines.
The statistics 3 and 4 are identical. They should end up in the same line with background color white. There is no difference at all.
5 and 6 are the same again. They just happen to be in a different order.
I propose the following change: Match all objects by name first, then only diff objects that are named exactly the same. Do not let the diff engine do a text diff for all objects because as you can see that technique is really really buggy

text: I Just Spent a Week With a Very, Very Expensive Gaming PCLuke Plunkett2/22/12 2:00pmFiled to: ReviewAlienwarePC Gaming LivesAurora R4FbtweetTopHardware3251EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink Alienware has recently launched a new line of its Aurora desktops, a range of very pretty, very expensive gaming PCs. Advertisement And I just spent a week playing video games on one.The Aurora R4, unlike the mildly surprising X51, sticks firmly to the company's brief of making high performance hardware at a relatively high cost to the consumer. THE SPECSThe unit I reviewed was kitted out with the following: Advertisement Intel Core i7-3930K CPU @ 3.20GHz16GB Ram512GB SSD1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590WHAT'S IN THE BOXIncluded alongside the actual desktop PC itself (and necessary software and documentation) in the kit I received were: Advertisement Sponsored Alienware TactX keyboardAlienware Optical Mouse (note: not a TactX)HDMI-DVI adapterPower cableWHAT I TESTEDI installed three games on the system for testing. All were played on the highest graphics settings possible. Crysis 2 (DX11 patch & HD textures applied)The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (HD textures applied)Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3WHAT I LIKEDLooks. The R4 looks great. From the lighting (which can be adjusted to be more...subtle than marketing would have you believe) to the powerful shape of the unit, it looks every inch as expensive and powerful as it's claiming to be. Best part? The stupid "alien" font that the company puts in conspicuous places is consigned to small areas near the back.Quality. Popping open the case reveals where at least some of your money went: the components and build quality of the internal hardware are top-shelf. Cables, leads, drives, everything looks like it rolled off Skynet's production floor. Advertisement Performance. Aside from a strangely lengthy system boot-up, the R4 destroyed all three games I threw at it, running at an almost constant 60fps (only dipping occasionally into the 50s in Crysis 2's cutscenes).WHAT I DIDN'T LIKEMouse. The mouse, an "Alienware optical mouse", was a cheap piece of crap. Really, it was like something you'd get at a thrift store. Compared to the quality of both the desktop and keyboard, and considering the costs involved, this was a disappointment. Seeing as the optical is the default inclusion with an Aurora R4, anyone interested in picking one of these up, either BYO or shell out for Alienware's TactX mouse. Advertisement Creaks and Crackles. There's no doubting the build quality of the inside of the R4. The outside, though, isn't everything you'd hope it would be. A sliding door covering the blu-ray drive clatters up and down rather cheaply, and the fancy "breathing" fins along the roof of the R4—which seem unnecessary given the machine is already liquid-cooled—rattled a bit and also sounded cheap. While these sound like minor gripes, when you're paying this much money for a pre-built system, you expect quality everywhere, not just on the inside.THE FINAL WORD[gallery 5887231]The Aurora series looks better than anything Alienware has ever released before. And the unit I reviewed, while admittedly one of the more top-end models, was everything I hoped it would be performance-wise. But it's still an Alienware desktop. It's still over-priced for what you're getting, and the flimsy aspects of its case aren't the kind of things you want from something at this end of the market. Advertisement Which in the end—and I know this sounds like a cop-out, but I like to think of it more as a constant truth—makes this your typical Alienware unit. Serious users will baulk at its overblown price tag, realising they can get better for less. This one's aimed more at those shorter on experience (and perhaps more endowed with a love for glowing PC cases) and who place a premium on the Alienware brand, because this is about as flagship as Alienware products can get.Note: My review unit was supplied by Alienware Australia. A comparative system priced from Dell's US site would cost around USD$3700.Reply325 repliesLeave a reply

text: Jason Terry Prolongs Celtics-Knicks SeriesSean Newell4/28/13 4:39pmFiled to: jason terryboston celticsnew york knicksnba playoffssportsnewsvideonba61EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink At the end of the first half, Boston owned a 54-35 lead over the Knicks. With 1:18 left in the fourth, Raymond Felton gave the Knicks their first lead of the day at 84-82 on a pull-up jumper just inside the key. Kevin Garnett immediately tied the game and after a couple misses from Carmelo and another one from Paul Pierce, the game went to overtime. AdvertisementFelton had the second half we almost remembered, but Jason Terry had the overtime we will remember. He gave the Celtics the lead on a three-pointer with 1:30 left, maintained that lead on another jumper on the next possession and iced the game with a layup. In all, he scored nine of Boston's 13 points in overtime. Terry may have only delayed the inevitable but there will be a Game 5 on Wednesday at Madison Square Garden. Maybe the series really will start then.

This Paper, written by Chérie R. Kiser for Law Seminars International, Local Broadband Regulation & Deployment, February 22-23, 2007, examines how recent rulings and policies adopted by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") governing broadband services affect local governments, municipalities, and state public utility commissions. Many of the FCC's decisions and policies limit existing state and local government authority to regulate broadband services offered by wireline telecommunications providers and cable operators. Further, this paper looks at how the resolution of pending FCC rulings may further impinge on local government authority. The FCC appears poised to continue limiting states' authority over broadband services provided by wireline telecommunications carriers and cable providers as part of its effort "to create a regulatory environment that promotes broadband deployment" and removes "legacy regulations, like tariffs and price controls, that discourage carriers from investing in their broadband networks." The importance of these issues to states and local municipalities is highlighted by the National League of Cities announcement that telecommunications issues top its federal lobbying agenda for 2007.

One question-what color are your shoes?

Something's wrong with the tie knot... maybe it needs to be tightened.
Also, I'd say the orange in the pocket square doesn't jibe with the subdued nature of the rest of the ensemble. Perhaps red or forest green would have been a better choice (IMHO).

Bruce Springteen is an American rock 'n' roll artist from New Jersey who has a backing group called the E Street Band. They have toured for many years and have released numerous and popular record albums.
Perhaps you know all of this. If so, you might know that Springsteen and the E Streeters will appear Saturday and Sunday in the Mohegan Sun Arena on the final two dates of their "High Hopes" tour.
Here are some bits of minutiae that will perhaps add to your appreciation of what will certainly be a three-hour show of greatness:
• Longtime guitarist Steve Van Zandt is on hiatus, filming his hilarious television show, "Lilyhammer," on site in Norway. Replacing him? Why, ex-Rage Against the Machine's Tom Morello.
• Springsteen et al have broken out over 40 different cover songs so far - and, no, not all on the same night.
• As always, the array of Springsteen's own catalog is vast and changes night to night. Only six tunes have been played on each night of the tour: "High Hopes," "Dancin' in the Dark," "Born in the U.S.A.," "Badlands," "Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze-Out."
• I wouldn't hold my breath waiting on "Mary Queen of Arkansas," but ya never know.
• If your fave Springsteen album or song is "The Ghost of Tom Joad," chances are good Morello will share lead vocals.
• Oh, and don't forget: local dude Curt Ramm, an Old Saybrook resident, plays trumpet for the E Street Band.
Bruce Springsteen, 7:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, Mohegan Sun Arena; $98, $118; 1-888-664-3426.

ActiveState achieves independence
Scripts own future
Open source language and development tools specialist ActiveState has squeezed clear of its Sophos' ownership following a $2.25m venture capital deal.
ActiveState is to resume its status as an independent company after its purchase by Canadian venture capitalist Pender Financial. ActiveState was acquired in 2003 by Sophos, who was primarily interested in ActiveState's anti-spam software.
The company was best known, however, for its Perl Dev Kit and the Komodo integrated development environment (IDE) for PHP, Python, Ruby and Tcl, which runs on Linux, Mac OS X, Solaris and Windows. ActiveState also helped maintain the open source language pool with its ActivePerl, ActivePython and ActiveTcl.
It is not clear at this stage what is planned for the company; however, managing director and chief technology officer David Ascher said ActiveState would continue to develop tools and languages and also honor enterprise support contracts.
The spin-out and purchase by a venture capitalist is timely. Members of the venture capital community focused on software have become fascinated by open source. The technology is seen as a way to disrupt the market. Scripting languages such as Perl and PHP, meanwhile, are seeing increased traction among developers building web sites and online services.
ActiveState will be headed by chief executive Bart Copeland and be home to 20 employees.®

"I'm worried that students will take their obedient place in society and look to become successful cogs in the wheel - let the wheel spin them around as it wants without taking a look at what they're doing. I'm concerned that students not become passive acceptors of the official doctrine that's handed down to them from the White House, the media, textbooks, teachers and preachers"
--Howard Zinn
And as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't just go for the students. If we all continue to act like lemmings, we will all together go over the cliff like lemmings.
The existing power structures are not sorting out the problems. Why? Because their first priority is still the perpetuation of the power structure rather than the well-being of the people and the planet.
In the U.S., both political parties seem more concerned with dominance by their party and continued corporate campaign contributions than helping us out of our messes.
Within corporations, as well meaning as some people may be, the pressures of keeping the shareholders happy come before improving the lot of human kind.
And so, working within the power structures, while necessary, has its limitations.
How do we the people take charge. How do we not take our obedient places in society? How do we not just be cogs?
It's not that I know the answer. We all need to think about this. We need to crowd-source it.
But one thought. What if we gathered in our homes in groups of ten and talked about how each of us as groups could begin to improve the lot of humans and the planet? What if we just tried that?
It would be a start.

The fourth annual Colorado Cog Rally was a success, but it might not have been enough to keep the race going, event chairman Jim Gill said.
The Colorado Cog Rally is balancing its books to learn whether the event broke even, as it has done in previous years. If it did, and there is a little seed money left, race organizers hope to continue with the race.
If shortfalls are going to have to come out of personal budgets, it may not be viable for next year, Gill said. "When the dust settles, if we can do this event and break even each year, that's OK," Gill said.
Forty cars competed in this year's event, which was one of nine national events on the Sports Car Club of America's program. In past years, it has been a club-level event, attracting fewer competitors and less media attention.
In the races, top-of-the-line, specially modified cars race across more than 100 miles of rutted backcountry roads.
Gill stressed that the event received overwhelming support from the community.
"The community was great, merchants were great -- we can't say enough about how good they were," Gill said.
All competitors and spectators had a great time, despite the rainy weather that left roads muddy and forced race organizers to close one stage of the race, Gill said. No injuries were reported, though there were some crashes and broken cars.
"We've gotten lots of unsolicited feedback from the competitors ... who really liked being here," Gill said.
The objective, Gill said, has been to bring tourism to Hayden and Northwest Colorado during what is typically a slow time of year for visitor traffic. The move to making the race a national event meant more tourists spending more money in the community, he said.
Having a few more cars compete could have insured a break-even result, making the event more viable, he said. Because this race was scheduled after some racers had won or qualified for championship races, some competitors decided not to come.

Fiat-UAW deal ends IPO distraction
Little change expected in Chrysler operations
DETROIT -- Fiat S.p.A.'s $4.35 billion deal to acquire the remaining 41.5 percent of Chrysler Group will allow the combined automaker's executives to concentrate fully on making and selling vehicles, analysts say.
Under the terms of the deal, announced New Year's Day, Fiat will pay $1.75 billion in cash to the UAW retiree health care trust, and Chrysler will pay $1.9 billion upfront and another $700 million over the next four years. In return, Fiat will control 100 percent of Chrysler stock, making Chrysler a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat.
The stock purchase will change few, if any, operations at Chrysler. Fiat retains management control. Many functions already combined or coordinated -- such as purchasing, product planning and manufacturing methods -- will continue. The UAW presumably will lose its Chrysler board seat.
The transaction is expected to be made final on or about Jan. 20 and would eliminate the need for an initial public offering of Chrysler stock, which the health care trust had requested last year.
In total, Fiat will pay $6.3 billion to gain 100 percent control of Chrysler, less than the $7.4 billion that Cerberus Capital Management paid for 80 percent of Chrysler in 2007. Daimler AG and Chrysler combined in 1998 in a $36 billion so-called "merger of equals."
Chrysler-Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne previously has said that Fiat may seek to relist its shares in the United States when the Italian automaker completed its acquisition of Chrysler.
The stock negotiations and IPO were "a distraction" that might have caused "some delays in expected launches for programs in the [2015 and 2016] time frame, but the deal is a good sign for the group to get back to the car business," said Jeff Schuster, senior vice president of LMC Automotive.
Marchionne's plan since he first obtained control of Chrysler in 2009 has been to use the two companies' design and purchasing power to make a single global automaker.
Stephanie Brinley, an analyst with IHS Automotive, said: "With this issue resolved, full management effort can be directed at implementing product and development plans."

While as might be expected, children in the potato chip group consumed by far the most calories (720 calories, compared with 200 for the cheese group, 170 for the cheese / veggie combo group, and 60 for the vegetable group), perhaps the most interesting finding was that children who ate the combination cheese / veggie snack needed far fewer calories to achieve a feeling of fullness than those who ate potato chips.
That suggests they didn't consume fewer calories because they didn't eat the healthier snack, but because it actually filled them up (as good foods are known to do compared with refined, processed foods that tend to spike blood sugar and leave you feeling hungry).
The point here is one that's been echoed for decades, but is too-often ignored: Put good things in front of your children and they might actually like them (or at least try them); put bad things in front of them and you're asking for trouble. That's why experts recommend placing healthy foods / snacks within easiest reach in your fridge and pantry, rather than tempting kids with easy access to the unhealthy stuff.

By Guy Faulconbridge and Andrew Osborn
MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - British Prime Minister David Cameron cast a national election in 2015 as a choice between his "pro-business" ruling Conservative party and what he called the anti-business opposition Labour party.
In a speech to his party's annual conference in the northern English city of Manchester on Wednesday that was heavy on party political rhetoric, Cameron placed Britain's economic recovery at the heart of his bid for re-election.
"Let us never forget the cast-iron law of British politics," Cameron told delegates. "It is Labour who wreck our economy and it's we Conservatives who clear it up."
Urging voters to give him and his party the chance to "finish the job" in fixing Britain's economy, he warned that its debt crisis was far from over, saying it still had one of the biggest budget deficits in the world.
"Our economy may be turning the corner, and of course that's great, but we still haven't finished paying for Labour's debt crisis."
Trailing Labour by 11 percentage points according to one recent survey, Cameron's team is trying to extract political capital from Britain's economic recovery, telling voters they alone can be trusted to keep the $2.5 trillion economy on track.
But stagnant wages and rising living costs have left his party vulnerable to a Labour charge that most people are not yet feeling the benefits of any economic upturn.
Championing private enterprise as the best way of improving living standards, Cameron responded directly to that charge.
"I see that Labour have stopped talking about the debt crisis and now they talk about the cost of living crisis. As if one wasn't directly related to the other," he said.
"If you want to know what happens if you don't deal with a debt crisis... and how it affects the cost of living... just go and ask the Greeks," he said, invoking Greece's economic crisis.
Cameron branded Labour's business tax plans as "crazy".
"Last week, Labour proposed to put up corporation tax on our biggest and most successful employers," he said. "That is just about the most damaging, nonsensical, twisted economic policy you could possibly come up with."
The Conservatives are a party of aspiration and tax cuts, he told delegates, saying only they could deliver what he called a "land of opportunity" rather than Labour's "land of despair".
"Profit, wealth creation, tax cuts, enterprise: these are not dirty, elitist words - they're not the problem, they really are the solution, because it's not government that creates jobs, it's businesses," said Cameron.
Signs of a recovery had been helping Cameron to regain ground in the opinion polls but Labour drew further ahead again after promising to take on vested interests, tax bankers more and freeze energy bills.
Cameron has proposed mortgage guarantees to help those struggling to raise a deposit to buy a home. He has warned against quick fixes and accused Labour leader Ed Miliband of pursuing proposals for populist state intervention.
Labour swiftly dismissed Cameron's speech on Wednesday.
"David Cameron only offers a land of opportunity for just a privileged few, not for the many," said Michael Dugher, a Labour lawmaker, saying he had cut taxes for the wealthy but had done little to help the less well off.

text: Based on a play by John Osborne, this is one of those movies where the audience pulls for the protagonist but has a hard time actually saying that he IS a protagonist. A highly unlikeable fellow, this protagonist is an attorney in all the ways that make this more an epithet than a profession. He's hated by his office personnel as much as his associates. He's unfaithful to his wife, lousy to his clients, and miserable with his children. Surprisingly, though, Nicol Williamson has taken this nasty person and made us still somewhat care what happens to him. Quite an accomplishment considering the lack of anything at all to love about this misanthrope, but somehow we see just a glimmer of humanity. ~ Tana Hobart, Rovi

The excited grins we saw in the sea of faces at Barack Obamas second Inauguration told us we lost and the socialists won.
They made sure we understood that. Liberal talking heads on television and radio as well as in print and in the blogosphere have been taunting us since November and there is no reason to think they will stop any time soon.
Their jobs are now safe for as far as the eye can see. ..segment of Obama supporters are learning that elections have consequences and being on the winning side doesnt guarantee good times ahead.
Americas college professors, especially adjunct (part time non-tenured) professors are getting it now. Harvard Universitys Center for Responsive Politics has complied data on the political leanings of those who teach at Americas colleges.
It reports that on average college faculties donate to Democrats over Republicans by a rate of 4 to 1, but in some schools that rate goes up to 99% as in the College of William and Mary. these professors are learning real life economic lessons courtesy of the provisions of Obamacare.
The stories of colleges beginning to cut back teaching hours for their adjunct professors (the foot soldiers of Americas higher education industry), are making their way to public knowledge.
In December, only a month after he most likely voted for Barack Obama, an adjunct professor at an Ohio school, opened a letter telling him that in order to avoid penalties under the Affordable Care Act employees with part-time or adjunct status will not be assigned more than an average of 29 hours per week.
The cut will cost him $2,000.00 a year, and this guy crying that he cant afford the cut. Gee aint that a terrible thing?....
(Excerpt) Read more at coachisright.com ...
Wait for those losing their health insurance due to Obamacare finding they can't afford private insurance, make too much to qualify for Medicaid and Obamacare's vaunted Insurance Exchanges don't exist so they will have no health insurance AND get taxed more (a.k.a fined) because of it. Ain't socialism great.
The problem with this is that the "Tenured" professors wont be affected. It's these older tenured leftovers from the hippie 60's and 70's that continue to infect the minds of our college students.
April 15th ought to be interesting also. i think a lot more people are going to wake up...........of course it's too late now.
The unfortunate thing is that we all have to suffer for the stupidity, foolishness, and intransigence of these liberal morons.
Sorry, it's for the greater good, after all.
Now, those liberal/progressive/socialist professors can actually have a chance to live what they have taught - the utopian way of life - I hope they enjoy the ride well, not really. The idiots will find out that socialism doesn't work nearly as well in practice as in theory.
Instead of understanding the real cause of their misery, though, they will clamor for a single payer system, which is what all this is about anyway. Years ago Ted Kennedy (who has been sober for quite some time now) admitted that the goal was to make health care and insurance so expensive that people would throw up their hands and demand that the government take over completely. I'm afraid that is where we are headed.
It will to the extent they will have to work harder. Tenured professors won't like that aspect of it ... guaranteed.
often means you are among the most ignorant and intellectually feeble among us.
Having worked in the past as a clerical in a state college, I totally agree. And, all live in a campus bubble and couldn't tie their own shoelaces.
Less people will be going to college soon due to cost. More will go.
It doesn't matter if every college professor is fired due to Obamacare. The Force is the strongest with this group and few will change.
I know many "Academics" as well, and they are often the most rigid, narrow-minded, bureaucratic and of course, ideological people I meet.
We all have to sacrifice for the sake of universal coverage. Right?
"Ted Kennedy (who has been sober for quite some time now)"
Tagline material right there.
All Federal elections should in all fairness be held on the 1st Tuesday following April 15th. Would solve our problem of tenured politicians.
I'd put it down as tenured professors will actually have to work and not just work harder now for what they're paid for.
The days of sitting in their offices working on articles for journals and books while TA's and non tenured profs do the dirty work (teaching) are over.
Expect to see serious turnover of tenured profs in the near future...about the only good thing to come from this.
Maybe they will.
With the loss of the lower professors who do most of the actual "teaching," the old-timers will now have to do some real work for their students.
This will necessarily affect the time they have to publish and to apply for grants. That will hit their pocketbooks as well.
Ain't karma grand?
All according to plan (creating an outraged mob that will start demanding single payer more and more loudly)
They thought they'd be in charge of leading the rubes to the open pit and not the ones standing beside it themselves.
Lenin and Stalin made sure that the first ones shot or sent to the gulag were the agitators who made the 1917 revolution possible.
Reminds me of an old aphorism attributed to Kruschev, who on the occasion of the failure of yet another five year plan reputedly said, "What we really need to do around here is to shoot a few more intellectuals".
Unfortunately, the Coach doesn't know a lot about academia.
First of all, the adjuncts don't dress that way and certainly don't hang out in the faculty lounge with the real faculty. They're like Obama was in Chicago, they're outsiders. They have no vote, they have low status.
These adjuncts typically teach fewer than five courses, at three contact hours each course that adds up to 15 hours.
Even if office hours are counted (adjuncts who have office hours, LOL) and their course load is cut, the tenured faculty will not pick up that work load. For every adjunct there are many more Ph.D.'s desperate for a job in the Academy. They'll be happy to cut their hours at Starbucks to teach a few courses.
Good. Hope all those thousands who signed the petition in support of Bill Ayers will be first on the firing list.
I LOVE Tard the Grumpy Cat!
Being a professor has nothing to do with knowledge or talent. It has everything to do with kissing the correct asses for a long enough time.
bingo... seeing already in the ER. Lots' of "no local physician" charts popping up or " I used to have Dr. X but he can't see me anymore".
I'm crying a river of crocodile tears over here.
Colleges never die, they just lose their faculties. Maybe sooner under Obama care.
I saw a couple of people mention it, but I can assure you these older "left-behinds" are going to have to take up the slack and work harder to make up the difference. This from someone in the private sector who has had to deal with this for a few years. That makes my feelings about this especialluy sweet.
I found the pic on another thread, but it works here, too.
They did WHAT to the data?

Apple Faces Inquiries In the EU On iPhone Accidents 174
o'reor writes "As more cases of iPhone screen explosions emerge in the news on this side of the pond, Apple is now facing official inquiries and lawsuits in France. This situation has forced Apple finally to break silence and acknowledge the incidents: 'We are aware of these reports and we are waiting to receive the iPhones from the customers. Until we have the full details, we don't have anything further to add.' Following those reports, the European Commission had already decided last week to step in, while Apple tried to dismiss the problem as 'isolated incidents.' Meanwhile, iPhone explosion-related sites are now popping up on the Internet, releasing games such as iPop to chill out and relax on the subject, but also giving users advice on preventing iPhone accidents, or detecting imminent explosions."

Despite his terrifying name, he was a well-respected leader who protected the people of Wallachia, Romania, for 7 years from his throne in Targoviste Castle. During his rule, Vlad built Chindia Tower, now a symbol of the city, on the castle grounds. While the castle itself is in ruins, visitors can climb to the top of Chindia Tower for breathtaking views of the former palace, as well as an exhibition of the documents and weapons that belonged to the real Dracula.

Very helpful seminar on career/job deveolpment and followups
Thanks to Frank Tang, Director of Community
