IOL is primarily a publisher of content from the Independent's stable of print publications and does not have its own reporting staff. IOL does not process general media releases. Those are best sent directly to the appropriate newspaper. One of the few sections on IOL that does write a portion of its own material is the motoring section.

Problems/Help with the IOL site
The site is slow, or times out. Why?
While we do our best to ensure that IOL performs as quickly as possible, the site is very large and is read my hundreds, even thousands, of readers at any one time. This can sometimes result in bottlenecks.
We also update the site hundreds of times a day which means the site is constantly changing. Sometimes this can result in some slowdown in performance.
If these speed issues do not resolve themselves in a reasonable time please contact us via our feedback system and let us know. If possible please include some details on the type of internet connection you have (ADSL, 3G etc), the browser you are using (Internet Explorer, Chrome etc), the operating system you are using (OS X, Windows XP etc) and any other relevant details you can offer. The more details we have of the problem the easier it is for us to try and solve it.
I am seeing old news on IOL. How do I get the most up-to-date news?
It is possible you are seeing a cached or stored version of the IOL site. Try clicking refresh or reload in your browser window. Clicking while holding down the control key can also help refresh and retrieve the most recent version of the page. Alternatively, hitting the F5 button will refresh the page.
If you continue to experience problems please use our feedback system to let us know. Giving us as much information about the problem can make it easier for us to resolve the issue. Please see the previous answer for an idea of the types of information that can help us pinpoint the problem.
Can I search IOL's archives? How does the search work?
To search for an article on IOL you can use the search box in the top right-hand corner. Type keywords into the space and click search. By default the search results will be arranged by relevance to the keywords you searched for. In order to find the most recent results for your search, click the "relevance" button on the top right of the results and change that to "date".
Please bear in mind that searching this way only searches articles we have published on IOL. This does not search all of the articles published by the group's newspapers.

I want to place a link to IOL - or to a story on IOL - on my site. Can I?

509-J to offer free meals to students
CFO Dan Chamness to retire
Providing free breakfast and lunch for all students is being considered by the 509-J School District.Superintendent Rick Molitor said 81 percent of the district's students are already getting free or reduced meals, and a free breakfast for kindergarten through fifth grade has been in place for many years.
"The reason is because the time and effort for the federal reporting and documentation is getting to the point that it costs as much as providing free breakfast and lunch," Molitor said.
Under a free system, he said the federal government would reimburse the district at 81 percent, as it has in the past, but would not require all the paperwork for three years. After that time, the free program would be reviewed.
The district plans to start offering free breakfast to all students in November, and free breakfast and lunch next year, if it pencils out.
Molitor noted the State Report Cards will be released to the public Oct. 11, and said the report was "very positive for 509-J."
Eight architectural firms applied to direct the districtwide facility upgrades, performing arts center and stadium construction. The selection committee recommended BBT Architects of Bend, which the 509-J board approved. That firm had also previously been selected to help design the new Warm Springs Elementary.
"During their presentation, they were very clear that they were big enough to handle both projects," commented board member Brad Holliday.
Under personnel, Molitor announced that Chief Financial Officer Dan Chamness was requesting to retire, effective Dec. 31, of this year.
"Mr. Chamness has done a phenomenal job for the district and will be leaving the district in good financial shape," Molitor said.
Chamness helped guide the district through school funding cuts over the past several years, and encouraged the formation of a reserve fund for emergencies, both of which resulted in the 509-J District being in better financial shape than many other school districts in Oregon.
Molitor said a team would be put together to search for a new financial officer, and Chamness will do part-time work on the construction bonds while the new person takes over.
His retirement was approved, along with the hiring of one-year, temporary kindergarten teacher Amy Kestek for Madras Primary.
The board gave its approval to spend $38,370 for A-Game Courts Co. to remove and replace the flooring in the small gym at Jefferson County Middle School. The work will start Oct. 19.
Over 30 teachers attended the board meeting, holding signs that read "Working Without A Contract."
For the remainder of the meeting, the board met in executive session to discuss teacher contract negotiations.

I noticed this wrap you up feeling the first time I hung my ENO DN. Kind of made me think of adding a couple velcro dots to the outside so I could wrap myself during bug season and not bother with the bug net.
I noticed this wrap you up feeling the first time I hung my ENO DN. Kind of made me think of adding a couple velcro dots to the outside so I could wrap myself during bug season and not bother with the bug net.
Image from google
I wanted to try it out my first hang as a seat, but my kids where all over it and I never got too.
Heck, my first time sitting on it lasted all of 5 seconds before I ended up with 2 monsters in with me.
I had to disconnect the rigging to get my oldest out (3yrs old). He'll be hanging with me this summer on some of our backpacking trips.
I have been considering this. I have an underquilt that was sort of purpose built for a hennessy. It would be nice on an eno, but the tie-outs are kind of mandatory. it would be interesting to try....
I just really like the way a hennessy pulls out of the way when laying diagonal and would love to get my ENO doing the same.
When I setup a hammock for my boy, I have to put tie-outs on it. I use a small round pebble and a rope with a lark's head hitch.
what do you guys mean about using a penny?
Getting lost is not a waste of time.
Put the penny inside the hammock... Then wrap the fabric around it... Then tie a rope/shock cord around it from the outside... It give you something to tie to with no damage to the fabric... A smooth stone or heck even a GI Joe would do the job... You just need something to tie to...
Live, Laugh, Love, if that doesn't work. Load, Aim and Fire, repeat as necessary...
Buy, Try, Learn, Repeat
I like the idea, but I'd be concerned about using a penny, or anything disk-shaped; I'd be concerned about the stress on the fabric. How about a river pebble, a marble or, one of those little super-bouncy balls? Or even a monkey fist, which could be made from some of that paracord you carry.
Actually, if you stuck to the monkey fist method, you wouldn't have to sew anything at all; you could adjust it for different scenarios, and you wouldn't have to bring anything extra, just use what you'd normally bring.
That is cool, I never heard about the penny trick before. Thanks for the tip.

Plugins dot 4 maintenance release
Good afternoon Folks,
We would like to announce the Pluggo, Mode and Hipno "dot-4" maintenance
Important note!!!!!
If you want to use these plugs in MaxMSP – you must use
MaxMSP version 4.5.7!!!!
Users of MaxMSP previous to 4.5 should continue to use their current
plugin installs. Users of MaxMSP 4.5.x are strongly recommended to
upgrade to version 4.5.7 anyway.
In this release, the most notable change is that the plugs no longer
share the Cycling '74 folder with MaxMSP. They install their own support
folder, which is known as the C74 Plugin Support folder. We recommend
that if you use multiple products, you clean out your old installs and
install all of the packages you need before using them.
For PC users – uninstalling is straightforward, via the add/remove
programs dialog. For Mac users – we have included a small Applescript
based application which will completely delete all of your C74 plugins,
old or new, without wrecking your install of MaxMSP. This app has proved
to be very useful in testing.
This release will NOT require reauthorisation.
More detailed release notes may be found in the readmes.
The "Known Issues page is here
Please let us know if you have any questions or problems – you may write to us directly at
Install instructions were not entirely clear. The C74 Plugin Support folder
contains a lot of stuff that is also in the Cycling '74 folder. These
folders appear
Pluggo Support
Are these updates? Should they replace the corresponding folders in the
Cycling '74 folder ?
Gary Lee Nelson
TIMARA Department
Oberlin College
NO. Just run the installer – there is nothing else you should need to do.
Pluggo uses a similar files as MaxMSP in order to run. In the past, it has used the files in the Cycling '74 folder. Now it uses its own set of files. Yes, they are similar to the ones Max uses. No they are not updates to the MaxMSP set. They are their own set – and the fact that we have seperated them out now means that Pluggo development and support will be significantly more easy for us to do.
Plugin developers please note that the Pluggo Support folder in C74 Plugin Support is also added to the MaxMSP Search path.
ok, i give… what's the applet called?

I desperately hope it is searched as last. There are always issues with
different versions, thats why I demanded a different order of loading
externals for different tasks. A pluggo loaded into Max should search
the pluggo folders first, a Max patch the Max externals folder. A
standalone its own folder.
The mechanism should savely prevent loading standalone externals before
looking into the main external folder.
It should never create a problem to place an old standalone into the
search path.
Has this been adressed in the meantime? (If you are tired of reading
e-mails crying for help because of fragload errors, it should be
addressed. Mentioning the archives will stil not lower the amount of
these kind of questions in the first place.)

Drug information provided by: Micromedex
It is very important that your doctor check the progress of you or your child at regular visits. Your doctor may want to have certain tests done to see if you are receiving the right amount of medicine or if certain side effects may be occurring without you knowing it. Also, the amount of medicine you or your child are taking may have to be changed often.
Using this medicine while you are pregnant can harm your unborn baby. Use an effective form of birth control to keep from getting pregnant. If you think you have become pregnant while using the medicine, tell your doctor right away.
Do not take carbamazepine together with a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or during the first 14 days after you stop taking a MAOI. MAOIs are used for depression and some examples are isocarboxazid (Marplan®), phenelzine (Nardil®), procarbazine (Matulane®), selegiline (Eldepryl®), or tranylcypromine (Parnate®). Do not use this medicine together with nefazodone (Serzone®) and certain medicines for HIV/AIDS (such as delavirdine, efavirenz, Atripla®, Sustiva®, Rescriptor®).
Carbamazepine may cause some people to be agitated, irritable, or display other abnormal behaviors. It may also cause some people to have suicidal thoughts and tendencies or to become more depressed. If you, your child, or your caregiver notice any of these unwanted effects, tell your doctor right away.
Check with your doctor right away if a fever, sore throat, rash, ulcers in the mouth, nosebleeds, bleeding gums, swollen glands, or small red or purple spots on the skin occur. These could be symptoms of a serious blood problem.
Serious skin reactions can occur with this medicine. Check with your doctor right away if you or your child have blistering, peeling, or loose skin, red skin lesions, severe acne or skin rash, sores or ulcers on the skin, a fever, or chills while you are using this medicine.
Carbamazepine may cause serious allergic reactions affecting multiple body organs (eg, liver or kidney). Check with your doctor right away if you or your child have the following symptoms: a fever, dark urine, headache, rash, stomach pain, unusual tiredness, or yellow eyes or skin.
This medicine will add to the effects of alcohol and other CNS depressants (medicines that cause drowsiness). Some examples of CNS depressants are antihistamines or medicine for hay fever, other allergies, or colds, sedatives, tranquilizers, or sleeping medicine, prescription pain medicine or narcotics, medicine for seizures (eg, barbiturates), muscle relaxants, or anesthetics, including some dental anesthetics. Check with your doctor before taking any of the above while you or your child are using this medicine.
This medicine may cause some people to become drowsy, dizzy, lightheaded, or less alert than they are normally, especially when they are starting treatment or increasing the dose. It may also cause blurred or double vision, weakness, or loss of muscle control in some people. Make sure you know how you react to this medicine before you drive, use machines, or do anything else that could be dangerous if you are not alert and well-coordinated or able to see well.

The Week Ending July 19
It's been a hot one in many parts of the U.S. this week, but the heat's really been on some leading IT and communications vendors. Topping a roundup of companies that had a rough week is Microsoft and the huge penalty it's paying for slow sales of its Surface RT tablet computer.
Also making the list this week are the latest hitches in Dell's efforts to go private, more cybersecurity concerns about a Chinese manufacturer's networking equipment, a DDoS attack on a major hosting services company, and the discovery of a major vulnerability in a telecommunications vendor's products.

Tailor made used to be better made than regular JS (full canvas, nice fabrics) but still very minimal (the suit I own doesn't have keyhole on the lapels, a top pocket or sleeve buttons and is made of a slick navy wool). Dunno about recent offerings as I liked JS JS not Raf JS (I know she's back).
I checked and this does have the "tailor made" label .Here's a photo and upon posting I think it looks decent. The pants need hemmed and everything needs pressed but overall I think just skipping a tie as Fuuma suggested makes it look right.

Alyssa Miller was in Las Vegas doing press for the SI Swimsuit Issue when I caught up with her yesterday afternoon. Miller, who turns 22 on the fourth of July, told me about the independence she enjoyed while working on her first swimsuit issue, how that job differs from her other modeling work, and why she's one of the few supermodels that actually will pose in the buff. This interview was transcribed and edited for clarity. Click on images to embiggen.
This your first swimsuit issue, isn't it?
Yeah, I'm a rookie! It's my first year. It's really exciting for me! Everyone keeps saying that the excitement's going to wear off, I'm really jaded about the whole experience. I'm exhausted, but it doesn't even matter. I'm having so much fun.
Is the SI Swimsuit Issue the Super Bowl for models? Is there such a thing? I know this is a major achievement, but how major?
There is no other magazine like SI. It's one of a kind. It's one of the only big American magazines that really feature the girls and their personalities. You really do become a household name after being featured in SI. It's a huge, huge deal. It's such a big deal to me as an American girl. My brother and my dad read it, so for me it's especially exciting. It's a big deal. >>
I wonder growing up if you and your brother ever thought that you'd be the one in SI and he wouldn't.
[Laughs] Yeah, that's something that we never thought about at all. I have a big family and they're all really exicted for me.
Seven siblings, I'm told.
Yeah. Five girls and three boys.
At least you have the majority.
Yeah, we're in charge for sure.
Tell me about the shoot itself. You're relatively young, you went to Fiji and Hawaii. Do you do any sort of preparation for these shoots, or do they just throw you in the water and tell you to look hot?
I've actually been modeling for a while, so I kinda know the drill. I always try to make sure that I'm in good shape and feeling well and [looked good] in my bikini, and SI is really good about that. They want a woman to look like real women. They love curves, so there wasn't any pressure in that way. But mentally, I had to prepare for it. It's such a big deal, and it's scary.
All the girls they use, they've been using for years. You kinda feel like the new kid in school, and that's a little bit scary. But they make you feel comfortable. They really just want you to be yourself. I didn't have to do anything crazy.
You started modeling when you were 15. You've done the catalogs and the runways and the advertising. Do you have a preference in the kind of modeling you do?
I love to do everything. I love my job. I have the easiest job on the planet. I'm a very lucky girl, but this has been the most fun I've ever had on the job. I had the time of my life in Fiji. It was amazing, and all the girls are so sweet. It really is like a big family. It's a really special job in that way.
Have you had a chance to look through the magazine yet?
If you couldn't pick yourself, who would your favorite model be?
I'm totally biased. I love Brooklyn. Brooklyn is my sweetheart. I've known her for five years. We've shared the same agency and she's the sweetest girl ever. She's so gorgeous, so down to earth. No one deserves success like she does. I love her so much. I have a girl crush on Brooklyn.

Oct 29, 2012This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Oct 30, 2012Borderlands was nigh flawless and the DLC made the game perfect, almost. Borderlands 2 doesn't have that. Captain Scarlett and her pirate's booty is decent. This DLC falls in line with Borderlands 2. It's uninspired, lacking content, repetitive and got no variation in enemies. Did I mention that the humour flopped?
Dec 1, 2012Very nice addon to the awesome game! More than enough missions for DLC and gameplay same as in original game make it worth. Hope all future DLC's will be like this one!
Jun 22, 2016
Nov 24, 2012
Jan 7, 2013
Nov 22, 2015My third favorite (first being Tiny Tina's D&D, and second being Torgue's quest). Still, this one is a lot of fun, and the vehicles here rule! Love Oasis as well - one of the most memorable and beautiful places in the entire game. Pretty awesome NPC's here as well. Recommend to any BL2 Fan! :)
Jan 23, 2013Enjoyable DLC, the invincibles nice addition kinda frustrating till you find out their patterns(more difficult than the base game or 2nd DLC's invincibles). The rewards in the end were kinda dissapointing but good overall and the some interesting characters. Worth buying but a lot of space for improvement!
Jan 7, 2013
Awards & Rankings
Jan 14, 2013Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty is a very well made DLC, but it's not for everyone. Fans of the first game, people who love the constant grind and looking for better loot, will have the most fun. If you want to complete this DLC once (and only for the story) you'll be disappointed. The plot is really cliché and without anything special, and fighting the same opponents between episodes can be a bore. What is more, the notice board has some really dull side quests. All in all - even though guys from Triptych Games missed the goal here and there - this DLC is a must buy for every Borderlands fan.
Oct 30, 2012We'd have liked a little more diversity in the environments, but as for content and quality, this is right on the mark.
Oct 23, 2012I would have to say I'm very impressed with the first piece of DLC Borderlands 2 has to offer. It constantly keeps you moving from one area to the next, and nothing ever gets monotonous.

Roman Britannia
Trip Start
Apr 10, 2010
Trip End
Apr 10, 2011
The villa was an enormous home from around 400AD, and had all the furnishings of a wealthy roman aristocratic family, including hot baths and central heating for the entire house! Most of which are luxuries even by today's standards (but little more than a few walls, pillars and mosaics now).
Later that afternoon we ventured into Wales, much less adorable than the Cotswalds but interesting none-the-less. Bigwig the van has been getting the hippy shakes lately which has given us a growing concern for the engine mounts. We don't look forward to talking to a mechanic tomorrow… Perhaps we are in for another "Hastings" experience.

We had our 2012 Pinewood Derby at the end of February. For awards, I wanted to do something more than just the standard "Most/Best (Fill in the Blank) Car". A couple years ago, I remember having Pinewood Derby Car Twinkies for snacks, but I don't remember everything that was on them. You can do a search on Google Images for ideas, but at they're most basic, split two Oreo Cookies in half and use the four pieces for wheels. The creme filling will help them attach to the Twinkie. You could also use Lifesavers, Peppermints, or any other rounded candy.
This was an idea I found on Pinterest (one of my new favorite resources for finding cub scout crafts) via Brandy at Gluesticks. I could not find mini boxes of Junior Mints or Dots (the snack size you get at Halloween) so I substituted with a 5-pack of Juicy Fruit and 5-pack of Doublemint gums. I also picked up some boxes of Tic-Tacs that could be used as well. I must say, these awards were a HUGE hit with our boys!!

Payment Card Industry compliance scanning
Payment Card Industry (PCI) scans are something I get to deal with every day where I am responsible for a data center with a high concentration of e-commerce webservers. For those who have yet to experience this phenomena allow me to explain a little about PCI scans. For an online retailer using, for example, Visa services it is a requirement to submit your website to periodic PCI evaluations or else risk falling out of favor with, in this example, Visa. So you sign up with a service, there are many available, and your website is analyzed on many different levels to determine potential security vulnerabilities. These range from known weaknesses in different versions of apache, mysql, php, openSSH, openSSL, Java, etc. Some of these scans return relatively simple information - your apache version has a known vulnerability, solution: upgrade to version X.
Other scans are so generalized as to be useless - better to send me an email telling me I might as well just spin a wheel and guess. From a practical administration perspective I appreciate that card companies are attempting, through the mechanism of the PCI scan, to reduce fraud and ultimately improve the name of online credit card processing. And, as an admin, I am well aware that one means of ensuring a high level of compliance is periodically scanning these servers to ensure they are secure. On the other hand, when I get these useless vague scan reports I wonder if it's not also kind of a scam, especially when I call and they are either unwilling to discuss how the scan result came to be determined or if it's something they can't repeat. Any thoughts? |
Collegues of me are working in the PCI area as well. The bad thing about these checks is that anyone can run a 'tool' and present it's report. Taking such a report apart to tell the real problems requires in-depth knowledge and time. Both is expensive and therefore omitted in many cases.
But as a collegue said: 'Compliance check are not intended to make you happy, but to make the auditors happy.' |

Fusion Customer Relationship Management is part of Oracle Fusion Applications, which also includes Fusion Middleware and Oracle Database. Among other features, Fusion CRM provides a single view of customers across the enterprise, optimizes sales territories and sales incentives, and centralizes order and fulfillment systems.
Customer Interaction = Opportunity
The combination of RightNow with Fusion, the company said, combines service interactions from RightNow with sales predictions and segmentation capabilities from Fusion Sales. This will help businesses generate cross-channel customer interactions and increase opportunities for revenue and efficiencies.
Among other things, the company noted that the integration will allow sales personnel to review service histories as preparation for sales calls, and can provide information about buying habits of customers. Through the integration, products and services can be better matched to customers' service history, customer interactions can be better targeted, and new purchasing opportunities for customers can be more readily identified, the company said.
David Vap, Oracle group vice president, said in a statement that every customer interaction is an opportunity to grow the business. He added that "customer trust provides an opportunity to increase customer product adoption and to reduce the cost of customer acquisition," which can increase profitability.
Web, Social, Contact Center CX
According to an annual survey conducted by RightNow, 86 percent of customers choose not to do business with a company because of a bad experience. A cloud-based solution such as RightNow, according to Oracle, can result in a reduction of up to 30 percent in labor costs, as well as increased customer retention and acquisition.
RightNow combines Web, social, and contact center customer experiences, or CX, and is intended to help build trust and strength relationships.
The Web component allows consumers to use any device to research, purchase, or resolve issues. This includes the Intent Guide Cloud Service to guide customers; Self Service, a self-learning knowledge base; and a Mobile Cloud Service that optimizes options for portable devices.
There's also Chat service, a co-browsing service so that agents can work with customers via phone or live chat to make a purchase or find information, and an e-mail management service.
In social experiences, RightNow offers Support Community, a service for customers to share their experiences, an Innovation Community service for connecting to the most knowledgeable customers, and a Social Monitor to follow posts on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, or RSS feeds. In addition, Self Service for Facebook offers tools to grow and support a fan base on Facebook.
The contact center component of RightNow is the Dynamic Agent Desktop service, through which customer requests are tracked and managed across enterprise systems. There's also RightNow Engage for providing feedback, outreach, analytics, and knowledge management combined with social-media collaboration.

Twisted Laminated Aromatic Cedar Walking Cane
- 502-3000-0158
- 840008013820
- Availability:
- In Stock Items Ship Within 1 Business Day. Adding accessories and engraving takes 3 to 5 business days.
The Twisted Aromatic Cedar Walking Cane is easily one of the most resplendent canes in our line. Its red and purplish hues swirl beautifully down its shaft, while our signature twist, with its subtle elegance, accentuates the natural beauty of this unique walking cane. To bolster its stability, we make the Twisted Aromatic Cedar Walking Cane from three pieces of 3/8-inch, laminated aromatic cedar board. One caveat: Twisted Aromatic Cedar is not a hardwood and tends to be softer than most woods. The Twisted Aromatic Cedar Walking Cane is still not recommended for anyone over 200 pounds. Each Aromatic Cedar Walking Cane also comes with our signature twist that spirals majestically down its shaft. Like all of our staffs and canes, the Aromatic Cedar Walking Cane is handcrafted in the USA using the highest quality wood and time-tested methods.
Unlike sterile, lifeless metal canes and poles, Brazos walking canes offer natural appeal because they are made from real wood. You can see the fine detail and beauty of the actual tree when you look at one. Each cane is a work of art. Plus, because they are solid wood, there are no moving parts to become unstable. Brazos Walking Sticks is family operated and located in the beautiful Brazos River Valley of Central Texas. Each walking stick is handcrafted by skilled local craftsmen.
All our hiking sticks can be personalized with laser engraving, making them uniquely yours. Walking sticks and canes can be further customized with accessories listed above, per your choice.

This is a beautiful cane, and the walnut lamination makes it very strong but light. I feel secure using it. The fragrance is nice, too.
Stunning beauty! The cedar and walnut go together perfectly. The cane is lightweight because of the cedar but strong because of the walnut lamination.
The cedar has a beautiful grain and is enhanced by the tinting of finish. The workmanship makes it a cane to be proud to carry. It won't be my last purchase!

China's top football body handed down a swathe of punishments including fines worth millions, it said on Monday, as it seeks leave behind corruption scandals which have plagued the sport in China.
China's Football Association banned 33 people, including some previously jailed for their involvement in China's biggest ever match-fixing scandal, from taking part in football "for life," it said on its website.
Those hit by the bans include former heads of the Football Association Nan Yong and Xie Yalong, who were previously handed jail sentences for taking bribes, and Xu Hong, the newly installed head of East China club Dalian Aerbin.
The Association also handed down a range of fines and other penalties relating to offences several of which date back years.
Two clubs involved in match-fixing in 2003, Tianjin Teda and Shanghai Shenhua, face one million Yuan ($160,000) fines and point deductions next season, the association said, while Shenhua was also stripped of its 2003 league title.
Other clubs were handed fines and point deductions for bribery and match throwing.
China has engaged in long-running battle to clean up the corruption which has damaged the reputation of its flagship Super League, with a high profile crackdown launched in 2009 leading to several jail-sentences.
The league has struggled to retain high-profile foreign talent, with star striker Didier Drogba leaving Shenhua this year, following his former Chelsea teammate Nicolas Anelka, who has joined Italian giants Juventus on loan.
Football is a popular sport in China, where commentators say corruption in the Super League has reduced match attendances and contributed to the poor record of China's national team.

Looking great and our dream has come true. With lv
Mt. Titlis
Trip Start
Apr 24, 2009
Trip End
May 01, 2009
It was our day to visit the very famous Mt.Titlis...we kick started our day with a sumptuous breakfast in the restaurant of our hotel at around 9:00 in the morning... there were quite a few traditional swiss items on the go but being vegetarians we settled down for the ubiquitous croissant,freshly baked bread,cereal and freshly squeezed orange juice(which we very generously helped ourselves with thrice). We pushed off at around 11 and boarded a train from Luzern station to the Engelberg Station.The train snaked its way on one of the world's most breathtaking routes which had the most incredible sights and scenes virtually painted by God himself...it is often said that seeing is believing...the abundance of natural beauty actually makes it difficult for anybody to put his/her camera away...the sheer magnificence of the idyllic beauty that lies sprawling in front of you forces you to wonder if there is any other place in the world that can match it.. We were particularly over-awed by the vision of the people who actually built railways that take you up the steep slopes of the mountains in one of those old-world style trains on a seemingly precarious route...there were imperious mountains on one side and flower filled valley on the other side with roads and tracks running parallel to each other for quite a distance.. .we arrived at Engelberg Station in an hour--a quiet little station straddled away in the scenic valley formed by the majestic snow-capped Alps... also met one very friendly swiss girl named Irice who showed us to the ticket office for the Mt.Titlis trip... there was a mobile Indian restaurant (in a van) parked at the foot of the hills serving vada pav,samosas,masala chai etc....sipping hot masala tea and eating samosas and vada pav in switzerland was strange enough and yet special enough to carry us briefly on a nostalgic trip to our country...it was a very comforting and therapeutic sign for the indian tourists like us...it helps form the connection instantly and a minute you feel as if you belong....something like it is not alien completely... After munching on the savouries we embarked on one of the journeys that will remian etched on our minds forever...we bought the tickets to Mt.Titlis and it was a journey spanning three legs...first was a cable car taking us upto Trubsee there were only two of us in the cable car and as it ascended over the mountain slope the scene that emerged with every passing second can only be dubbed as heavenly...we gradually rose over the very tall dark green coniferous trees and that was an experiece in itself..their tops gently tapering into inverted cones...we rose higher and came to a station on the route...but we had to remain seated in the car and to our delight the message was set in our very own Hindi language... the same cable car proceeded to the second stop which marked the end of the first leg but started the beginning of the snow capped tops. They looked majestic in their white robe yet there was something that suggested that they were very tame and welcoming perhaps because we were moving over them in those cars and that gave a perception of their tolerance towards us. From Trubsee we were taken up by a larger cable car which carried approximately 50 people to the third stop called Stand from here we boarded the fascinating and world's only rotating cable (RotAir) car upto Mt.Titlis. The disc on which we stood revolved a complete 360 degrees giving the panoramic view of the Alps...we clicked a lot of pictures on our way up as it certainly felt as if we were ascending into the heavens...there was white everywhere when we alighted at Mt.Titlis.Also there were Shahrukh Khan and Kajol standing just outside the exit gate to greet the tourist...so what if it was just a cut out from their hugely popular DDLJ....a very strong symbol of connection between Bollywood and Switzerland ...we were at Titlis now and made our way towards the snow that covered the peak...there were several people skiing on it as well...needless to say the view from the top was nothing short of a wonder in itself...we also took the the open chair li ft cable car and got a professional photo done...stayed on the snow for a while all the time stunned with amazing perfectness...had coffee at the open air restaurant with some vada pav...it was around 3:00 and we decided to see the glacier caves before our descent...the caves were pretty eerie and intriguing as well... it was a proper moving glacier...took the 3:30 RotAir cable car as it was time to go back now...the scenes were different on our descent but no less beautiful.... had masala tea again when reached the foots...boarded the train back to Lucerne at 16:45 with the last wistful look at what looked like a window to heaven....reached hotel at around 18:30 and updated the blog...spent some time in the room in order to relax and then went out again for a short look around at night time...the lake looked like a pool of stars at night and the weather was very nice walked beside the lake upto Kanchi restaurant but decided not to dine there...instead walked back to the Lucerne station and bought burgers for dinner....it rained gently on us on our way back to the hotel...we already were accustomed to the ways and buildings around and Anurag and I just wondered at our superb ability to getting used to people and place so quickly that no sooner you step out into a new land than you are already accustomed to it...
Tomorrow we are going to Interlaken...its late now as i finish off today's entry so I'll sleep to wake up the last time(on this trip) in Lucerne.

Surge in freshman applications means school officials can be more selective and pick students with higher test scores and GPAs
The success of FGCU's men's basketball team isn't just making it harder to find good seats and parking spaces on game days.
It will make it more difficult for students to gain admission to the university.
VIDEO: FGCU tries to adjust to Dunk City mania
FGCU has seen an unprecedented surge in freshmen applications, a 35.4 percent year-over-year spike that President Wilson Bradshaw would like to think is a result of surging academic prestige. He knows that's not the sole reason, though.
"Our visibility in basketball certainly didn't hurt," Bradshaw said. "We have to acknowledge that."
While the freshmen class will grow, like it does each year, FGCU doesn't have the capacity to have enrollment balloon by 35.4 percent. The larger pool of applicants means admissions officers can be more selective in screening prospective students, thus choosing candidates with higher test scores and grade point averages.
Last fall's incoming freshmen class consisted of 2,773 students, counting only first-time freshmen, not transfers or second-year students who are still freshmen credit-wise. By comparison, FGCU welcomed 1,882 new freshmen in fall 2008, representing an average annual growth rate of about 9.5 percent. The university does not maintain a hard and fast cap on admits, but this fall's freshmen class likely will be in the neighborhood of 3,000 students. Total enrollment is 14,251, almost two-thirds of the way to FGCU's one-time projected student body target of 22,000.
Florida Gulf Coast University established itself as Southwest Florida's premiere regional university, and its reach gradually has expanded up the peninsula. In March, however, FGCU captivated a national audience when its basketball team defeated Georgetown and San Diego State to reach the Sweet 16.
Other institutions that jumped onto the national stage during the NCAA Tournament, including Butler and Northern Iowa, advised that admissions would spike because of the publicity. One Sunday in March, FGCU tracked 177,093 unique visitors to its website, thousands of which took a glance at the admissions page.

Second Market just released its third quarter numbers and the platform for trading private company shares is on a tear. It completed nearly $75 million in transactions, bringing its total deals this year to $250 million. That translates to major growth: it's 2.5 times the deal value in all of 2009 and five times the number of transactions. Yesterday I outlined how you can trade on this platform. But even if you don't want to buy, or don't qualify, Second Market's trading data indicates where savvy accredited investors see opportunity in this fast-growing alternative market.
Facebook is consistently the most popular investment — it accounted for 37 percent of trades last quarter. That's even more impressive considering that shares are priced base on a whopping $33 billion investment.
There's no question, investors are obsessed with social media — it dominates investor demand. Facebook is consistently the company investors are most eager to invest in, with 34 percent of buy-side interest. It's followed by Twitter (5.8 percent), LinkedIn (5.7 percent) and Zynga (3.9 percent).
This rush to invest in social media makes sense: LinkedIn is valued at around $2 billion. Twitter's value is also around $2 billion, even though it's just starting to generate revenue. And Zynga has a whopping $5 billion valuation on nearly a billion dollars in revenue. There just aren't any public companies that offer a pure-play opportunity to invest in social media. As Rob Armstrong, senior Columnist for Dow Jones Investment Banker pointed out to me: it's hard to come by tech companies with really strong top line growth in the public markets.
So what's the next Facebook? SecondMarket's report of surging investor demand shines a spotlight on a few companies. Groupon saw the biggest leap in demand this past quarter — a 63 percent jump — as the group buying company grows users and draws media attention. The company will generate an estimated $500 million in revenue this year — check out my interview with CEO Andrew Mason:
Investor interest in Zipcar jumped 47 percent: the company filed its S-1 in the past quarter and is expected to go public this fall. Other companies drawing growing interest: real estate website Trulia (up 30 percent in the quarter), revolutionary music service Pandora (up 29 percent), and green tech company Bloom Energy (up 29 percent).
And this quarter investors had three new companies on their radar -- for the first time investors asked SecondMarket for a chance to buy shares of Angie's list, which sells a subscription to consumer reviews, online video platform Brightcove, and web content company Mahalo.
There were some very unexpected names on SecondMarket's most-traded list-- they have nothing to to with social media. Check out my next blog for the details.

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
Send The Chopper! TV Stations Go Wild For Mike Huckabee's Chick-fil-A Day
The station streamed the footage online and told its Twitter followers to "watch LIVE." Just like with a high speed car chase, the eternal staple of local television news, a viewer could hear the high hum of the chopper and occasional radio dispatches from the pilot telling the station where the aircraft was headed next. On the ground, customers waved up at the chopper. Some showed off handmade signs of support for the chain.
But KTVK wasn't the only one going wild for what former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee declared as national "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day." TV stations throughout the U.S. clamored to cover the battle between social conservatives and backers of gay rights, who have taken their respective battle stances over comments by the chain's president saying he supports marriage only between a man and a woman.
Louisville, Ky., station WHAS also sent a helicopter to film the lines outside multiple locations in the area. "Apparently Chick-fil-A was the most popular lunch spot in Kentuckiana," a WHAS anchor said during an afternoon newscast. "And believe us, folks, that's an understatement."
FOX News, where Huckabee hosts a show on Saturdays, also got in on the action, showing its own helicopter footage of Chick-fil-A locations in an unidentified city somewhere in the U.S.
On the ground in Pennsylvania, Slate reporter Dave Weigel, who was covering the state's voter ID hearings, noted on his Twitter account the wall-to-wall coverage he witnessed.
"Not one but two local TV crews at Chick-fil-A right now," Weigel wrote. "They were not at the #PAVoterID hearing today. But that was a 15 minute drive..."
Here's some footage from KTVK's livestream that TPM's Clayton Ashley captured on Wednesday afternoon:

A 36-year-old Rossford man was arrested yesterday shortly after he allegedly robbed a South Toledo bank, authorities said.
Paul Villa-Gomez, whose last name also has been spelled Villagomez, was ordered held in the Lucas County jail on a bank robbery charge after making an initial appearance in U.S. District Court in Toledo.
He is accused of robbing the KeyBank branch at 1612 Broadway about 9:30 a.m. A few minutes later, he was arrested by Toledo police Sgt. Sam Harris.
The sergeant, who was in his police car, saw a man matching the robber's description, followed him, then jumped out and chased him a short distance before arresting him in an alley in the 500 block of Western Avenue. Money from the robbery was recovered.

Highly Recommended! Picture perfect
By Jimbo
from Darien, IL
Comments about Samsung 46" LCD Flat Panel HDTV In Black:
After extensive research I bought this TV about 1 month ago and couldn't be more pleased. Size is perfect if you don't have room for larger models. I previously owned a Hitachi Plasma but this picture beats it by far. Setup was simple and straight forward. As with any LCD/Plasma, take the time to change the default settings...you'll be rewarded. [...]
Great Picture, User Friendly, Easy Setup
By The Scuba Guy
from New Jersey
After doing extensive research, I decided on this model because of it's respected brand name, high contrast ratio[...]. After owning for 3 weeks, it has delivered on my expectations, and I would recommend it to others.

12.8 Billion Colors and it's beautiful
By Dog Ears
from Ashburn, Virginia
The picture is perfect and the fact that it rotates 15 degrees in either direction and has the ability to tilt as well makes the TV great viewing from any angle. This simple engineering feature eliminates the traditional con against LCD, which is that at certain angles the sharpness and clearness is lost. Not so with this model.

Today the EEE PC 900 was available for sale in an electric market in Shanghai.
They offered both versions, 20 Gb with Linux or 12 Gb with Windows. The price for both versions were 3999 Yuan (about USD 570). They did not seem to be willing to do anything on that price and that is also the same experience I have from when the 701 was released back in November.
On this (crappy) photo, you can see both the 701 and the 900.
I didn't have time to stay long but I they quickly let me know that they offered a copy of English XP together with the Lunux version for free 😀
Tomorrow I will go back again. Any request for what I should check?
Has the 901 still got a fan? I am hoping that with Atom it might be cool enough to be fan and fully noiseless.
This is the eee PC 900, not the 901 (the 901 will be launched at Computex on June 3, and will have the Atom).
I'm in Shanghai too though. Which shop did you go to? The most important question is, what's the battery capacity?
It seems China will be getting the 4400 mAh battery, not the 5800 mAh they are releasing in HK and US.
Thanks for pointing out and sorry for the mistake, its of course the 900.
It came with 4400 mAh battery, my friend just baught one from the electronic market in Xujiahui.
So it's official! the China release comes with the 4400 mAh… That sucks!
Guess I'll wait till June 3 to know more about the 901. If it will really sell for about US$650, I might just go ahead and get an imported 900 from HK with the 5800 battery.
Btw, I have a P1i too, so I'll check out your UIQ guide sometime 😉
Well, the 901 is out now that it's June and I'm wondering if we'll see it here in Korea soon. I'm recently stationed here and still trying to get a handle on the shopping situation but I can't even find the eee PC 900. I've taken to wandering the electronics market down at Yongsan station area with a picture of it. Any better suggestions?
The sales people in Shanghai said the 901 will come on the 8th of July. Couldn't wait, baught the 900.
