By refusing Bishop Desmond Tutu`s call for urgent talks, South Africa`s State President P.W. Botha shuts the door to a decent resolution of the crisis that has resulted in the republic`s state of emergency.
Bishop Tutu, a Nobel Peace Prize laureate and a leader of the multiracial, anti-apartheid United Democratic Front, called for an immediate meeting with the state president in an attempt to end the civil unrest that has left about 500 dead, and the state of emergency under which more than 1,000 have been detained. Responding that he is too busy, Mr. Botha`s office indicated that the Anglican bishop should be satisfied with joining an Anglican Church delegation already scheduled to meet with the state president on Aug. 19. Apparently, for Mr. Botha, time is not of the essence.

All appointees must have experience in pension management, institutional management or financial markets. In addition, one must be an attorney experienced in finance and investment matters and another must be a Certified Public Accountant. Only six of the ten appointed Trustees may be from the same political party. The Governor serves as Chairman of the Board. A Vice-Chairman is elected by the Trustees.

Andrew Bynum debate: What to expect upon his return
Andrew Bynum says he's ready to play. The Lakers say they're ready to activate him and turn him loose Tuesday night against the Washington Wizards. Lakers fans and NBA followers worldwide have debated and followed his progress from this summer's surgical repair of his right knee to the precipice of his return.
And nobody knows exactly what to expect. Not even the Lakers. But if there were ever a game for him to debut following his rehabilitation, this match-up against the Wizards in Washington would be it.
The Wizards happen to have three 7-footers and two more forwards at 6-11. Yet none are physical specimens who will require endless minutes of physical play in the post. Bynum's agility will be tested because Washington starts JaVale McGee at center, an Amare Stoudemire/Tyson Chandler-type center who is active in pick-and-roll plays and crashing the boards at both ends of the floor. Fans will get a good look at how Bynum moves on the court and reacts as the Wizards' plays unfold, particularly against the lightning-quick John Wall, who will test the Lakers' guards and interior defense with his slashing moves to the basket.
Is Bynum really ready to come back? Are the Lakers rushing him into action to take pressure off power forward Pau Gasol, who seems to be wearing down game by game as he battles in the middle? It's hard to believe the team would put Bynum's recovery in peril. It seems more likely they would simply cut back Gasol's minutes even at the risk of losing games in December to inferior opponents.
Bynum has primarily participated in three-on-three and four-on-four scrimmages, from what I hear. That's likely because the Lakers don't have enough healthy and rested bodies to scrimmage full court between games. One would have to believe he's ready to go Tuesday night. The Lakers have been careful to bring him along slowly this fall and make sure he's fit to withstand the rigors of practice and now an NBA game.
Which brings us to Tuesday night. Coach Phil Jackson said Bynum was likely to play about 15 minutes. Whether he starts or comes off the bench -- supposedly that's Bynum's decision -- expect the 15 or so minutes of playing time that Bynum collects to greatly benefit Gasol and Lamar Odom. There's no denying that cutting back on Gasol's and Odom's minutes is just as important as Bynum's methodical return to full playing shape.
Speaking of which, don't expect Bynum to be a big contributor on offense. He's going to need a few games to get his wind and timing back. If he's been primarily scrimmaging in half-court sets, no amount of treadmill and agility work is going to get his cardio into game shape. Once he does, expect him to return to his 15-point, eight-rebound average of last season before he was injured.
Bynum's biggest effect will be on defense and rebounding at both ends of the floor. His offensive game will come around in time, as will his conditioning. Until then, clogging the lane, altering and blocking shots, helping on defense and providing some relief for Gasol and Odom will be most important.

A DANGEROUS dog is on the loose after it attacked a woman in a Sunderland cemetery causing horrific injuries to both her hands.
The dog – described as a black Alsatian with a bushy tail – struck in the cemetery of Holy Trinity Church in Southwick.
The victim was approached by the dog at 7.45pm on Monday as she was walking towards the path of Northern Way.
The dog – which was not wearing a collar and appeared to be on its own – jumped up at the woman. And as she put her hands out to protect herself she suffered serious injuries to both of them and was taken to hospital.
The dog ran off down an alleyway between the back of James Street and Southwick Primary School field.
Police are appealing for the owners of the dog, or anyone with information, to get in contact on 101 ext 69191 quoting reference 531 of 300614 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

Taming the Tongue
James 3:1-12
In the early church, teachers were of great importance. Whenever they are mentioned, they are mentioned with honor. In the church at Antioch they are ranked with the prophets who sent out Paul and Barnabas on the first missionary journey (Acts 13:1). In Paul's list of those who hold great gifts within the church they come second only to the apostles and the prophets (1 Cor. 12:28; Eph. 4:11). The apostles and prophets were on the move. Their concern was the whole church, and they did not stay long in any one congregation. But the teachers worked within a congregation and their supreme importance was to instruct the facts of the Gospel and edify the saints. It was the responsibility of the teachers to put the right stamp of faith and knowledge on those who were entering the church for the first time.
As you can see, false teachers could do great harm. Not only must the content be biblical, but their lives must model it as well. Rom. 2:17-24 Evidently, some were becoming teachers before they knew the Bible themselves. 1 Tim. 1:6-7 Because of our sinful nature, without true teachers to guide us, we will gravitate to false teachers who will tickle our ears with what we want to hear. 2 Tim. 4:3
In our text, James' conviction is that teaching is a dangerous occupation for any man. His instrument is the tongue. Therefore, he warns about the responsibility of teachers. The use of the tongue touches every man, woman and child; therefore, this lesson is to be sternly attended by all of us. Read Text!
1. What should one consider before entering into the field of Christian teaching? Eccl. 7:23-29
2. Rom. 2:21 What can a teacher do to avoid being a hypocrite?
3. What do we need to receive from God before we can become spiritual leaders? 1 Cor. 12:28; Eph. 4:11-12
4. What is one of the first ways we show our shortcomings? Ja. 3:2 Is being able to control your tongue necessary to being a candidate as a teacher? Why must teachers be careful about their speech?
Matt. 12:36-37
5. James' first illustration of the importance of controlling the tongue is that of a horse and a bridle. Ps. 32:9 Horses are stronger than man, but how much pressure/tension on bridle does it take to turn a horse around? How does this illustration apply to the use of the tongue?
6. James' second illustration is that of a rudder on a ship. There is power in small things. What power is there in our small tongue? Prov. 18:21; Rev. 19:14-15
7. James' third illustration of the tongue is that of a fire. How fast can a spark spread in a forest? How does that illustrate the tongue? What can be the consequences of a "loose tongue" according to verse 6 of our text?
8. What is the source of corrupt speech according to verse 6? If you take away the source of the "whisperer", what happens to the fire according to Prov. 26:20?
9. What is the parallel of an evil man and his tongue according to Prov. 16:27? What is God's judgment of someone like that, according to Ps. 101:5?
10. James' fourth illustration of the tongue is that of wild beasts (3:7-8). What is the point he makes with this illustration? Can man tame his tongue? How often does your tongue hurt yourself or others? What have you found to help in taming your tongue?
11. Who has the power to help us control our tongue according to Ps. 19:13-14?
12. What effect does an undisciplined tongue have on others? Ps. 140:3 To what extreme will an undisciplined tongue go according to Ja. 3:9?
13. Cursing is inconsistent with a Christian who reflects the character of his Lord within him. What comparison does James make in 3:11-12, and what is the point he makes? See also. Matt. 7:16-17 If there is sufficient provocation, do you think cursing is justified?
Do you think if we try hard enough, we can tame the tongue? How many people you know are making a serious effort to tame their own tongue?
Since we have taken a look at the devastation the tongue can do, let's look at the contrast in
Eph. 4:29-32.
Definition of gossip: Sharing anything that is injurious or detrimental with someone who is not in a position to do anything about it.
When caught in a gossiping situation, at the very front, stop them and say, "I don't think I should be hearing this. Do you have so in so's permission to be sharing this? Am I the one you should be sharing this with? Should you not be sharing this with someone who is in the position to do something about this?"

Tim Ryan, who played with Jim Harbaugh in the NFL and spent the past 12 seasons as a FOX analyst, will take the unusual step of leaving network television for a radio booth.
Ryan, 46, will replace former 49ers cornerback Eric Davis as the team's color analyst alongside play-by-play announcer Ted Robinson. Davis has spent the past two seasons juggling jobs. He is a host of "NFL AM" on NFL Network, which starts at 3 a.m. every weekday during the football season in Los Angeles.
Davis, who lives in Los Angeles and will continue working with NFL Network, said the team wanted someone on-site and the parting was amicable.
"It's all good," Davis said to The Chronicle. "What they want from the position is they want their guys on-site. From a logistics standpoint it's not feasible. But everything's good. Loved doing it for three years … Nothing but good feelings from both sides."
Ryan, a San Jose native, had served as color analyst on the 49ers' preseason television broadcasts the past three years. He termed his radio job an opportunity to work with a "crown-jewel franchise in the National Football League."
"I am just so excited," Ryan said this morning on KNBR. "And I'll tell you, I had years left on my deal at FOX Sports. Not a lot of people leave network television. But to be a part of the 49er family in my backyard, if you will, growing up here in the Bay Area.
"And knowing this franchise, having covered them for years … To now be a part of it, going into the new stadium with the quality people that run that organization and a quality football team. I am jacked."
Ryan, a former defensive lineman, played with Harbaugh for each of his four seasons in the NFL, from 1990-93 with the Bears. Ryan said he was excited to have a chance to be part of the 49ers possibly winning a sixth Super Bowl and termed the team's coaching staff the NFL's best.
Still, like Davis, it appears Ryan will offer pointed analysis.
This morning, he said Colin Kaepernick still needs to grow in terms of decision-making and broke down each of the quarterback's three turnovers in the final 11 minutes of a 23-17 loss to Seattle in the NFC Championship Game.
"At the end of the day, Colin Kaepernick's got to understand the situation and he can't turn it over," Ryan said. "And, really, that's exactly what happened."
Noting the 49ers had two timeouts and 30 seconds left, Ryan said Kaepernick was too careless in tossing a game-sealing interception on first down from Seattle's 18-yard line. Kaepernick's throw to Michael Crabtree in the right corner of the end zone was tipped by All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman and picked off by linebacker Malcolm Smith.
"I get taking a shot," Ryan said. "But if you take that shot, there's only one place you can put that ball and that's on the back pylon. (Don't allow) a 6-foot-3 inch spider with long arms that plays the trail position to go up and get it. If Kap drops that on the back pylon, Crabtree gets it or he doesn't , and they've got a few more downs to try to punch the ball into the end zone. So, to me, it's all about growth in terms of decision-making and maturity by the quarterback."

I've been reading the document on the transformation language, and saw some questions whether to include support for regular expressions and case-insensitive comparisons. I personally believe that both shoould be included. I have been trying out some XML, using XSL and javascript in MSIE 5. As a sample case I have created a list of my music collection. Using several XSL style sheets to transform the XML source (and even create new XSL's), I have built a simple way of showing all data. I can search the data for specific values (using case-insensitive searches!), but I cannot search for a string contained in a particular tag. As far as I can see from the working draft of XSLT this has been solved by introducing several StringFunctions, but I still feel that including regular expressions would make certain kinds of checks much easier to implement (i.e. format of a serial number). In my music collection case I needed to create XSL documents based on values entered on the GUI. As this is not directly possible (as far as I know that is), I had to create a seperate XML document which contains the parameters, and transform this XML into a new XSL. This seems an awkward way of working, and a way to use parameters on a transformation would be of great help. Just my $0.02 worth....

Homely, backpackers' hostel Nov 11, 2010
The room was 11 Euros per night, which is gthe cheapest you can find in Sevilla in general. Despite the low cost though, the standards are very good and the staff are friendly. They do have tours, such as tapas and bars tours, which is about 10 euros, and is a great way to meet other people from other hostels. A 10 Euro deposit is also required which is refunded when you hand the keys back.
The location isn't too bad - a good five minute walk away from the centre and the cathedral. However, you do need to keep an eye on your map the first time you go there. But it's very easy once you figure out the route, so the location should not put you off at all. There are handy supermarkets and bars nearby too, and the location is fairly quiet too.
The beds, toilets and kitchen were all clean. No problem to mention at all.
The area is very safe even at night. However, the reception closes at 11pm I think, so make sure you do not leave the hostel without your key! Lockers are provided for free, but people were generally very relaxed about leaving their stuff around as it was safe enough.
Beds were comfortable and ordinary enough, not luxury but sleepable too without any problem.
The people and staff were the best feature of this hostel. It has a very lovely vibe, and I thoroughly enjoyed speaking to a wide variety of people there.
Other features:
- free internet on two computers and wi fi availability
- free breakfast of juice, tea/coffee, bread, jam annd basic store-bought croissants
- kitchen which has cooking facilities and a washing machine
- terrace on the top floor with seating available
A very lovely hostel for the budget backpacker, highly recommended.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- It's like getting
A couple of years ago, New England-Indianapolis was billed as the regular season Game of the Century. The Pats and Colts were both unbeaten and it represented the latest meeting of NFL unbeatens since the Buffalo All-Americans played the Akron Pros in mid-November in 1921. I think
The 2007 Patriots beat the Colts in '07 and remained unbeaten until
The Colts are the undefeated team this time around. Ravaged by injuries to its defensive unit, Indianapolis hung on to beat the Houston Texans, 20-17 on Sunday. The victory gave the Colts a 17-game regular-season winning streak, which is a franchise record and the fourth-longest in NFL history. The longest regular-season winning streak of course belongs to the Patriots. New England won 21 in a row between 2006 and 2008 before
The 2009 Patriots are not the chest-thumping, take-no-prisoners Pats of 2007, but they think they have enough to beat the Colts and improve to 7-2 in Indy on Sunday night. They have won their last three games by an aggregate 121-24.
Nobody expects a blowout this week.
"You can't go out there and play your B game, because you won't beat those guys,'' Brady said after throwing for 332 yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins. "They're good. They can rush the passer. They cover. Obviously, they can score a lot of points. They run it, they throw it, they have very good special teams, so we've got to match them. We've got to do the same thing this year on the road, you know, we've had a couple good first halves and not so good of second halves, so we're going to need a four-quarter game.''
And then the Patriots imploded. They surrendered 32 second half points and lost, 38-34. The Colts went on to win their only Super Bowl of the Manning Era.
New England responded the following year with its 16-0 season, running up scores and making enemies. And we all knew the seeds of perfection had been planted in the floor of the RCA Dome.
It was not the first time a Pats-Colts playoff game triggered events. After the Patriots thrashed the Colts, 20-3, in the 2004-2005 playoffs at Gillette Stadium -- a game in which
Polian hates the Patriots with the power of a thousand suns and the Krafts have been angry at the Colts since
Any way you cut it (Remember Peyton's "Cut That Meat" commercial?) history is made when the Pats play the Colts. And they play a lot. Sunday's joust will be the 10th meeting of these teams in the last six seasons.
"We have so many games with them and so much history with this team the scouting report looks like a phone book,'' Belichick said last year.
Sounds a little like the old
Sweet matchup.

Crack UK troops join hunt for Laden
March 01, 2004 16:31 IST
Crack British troops are part of a�dramatic new joint effort to capture or kill Osama bin Laden and other senior Al Qaeda leaders in Afghanistan, reports�The Guardian,�London.
According to the report, "the push will be the biggest such operation for 18 months. Attempts to find the fugitives last year were hindered by a lack of special forces soldiers - most of whom had been deployed in Iraq - and the failure of Pakistan to cut off escape routes by closing its border with Afghanistan. Harsh winter conditions in recent months have made movement in the high ground where bin Laden is thought to be hiding impossible.
"Thousands of Pakistani troops and paramilitaries are preparing to move into positions along the 1,520-mile frontier to act as an anvil against which the US-led hammer can strike."
According to the article, the hunt is being boosted by a computer programme developed in Iraq to locate 'high value human targets'. The programme charts links between thousands of people associated with a fugitive, allowing intelligence officers to detect key individuals who might have vital information.
'The sands in their hourglass are running out. We reaffirm our effort to track these guys down and get 'em," The Guardian�quoted�Lieutenant-Colonel Matthew Beevers, a US military spokesman in Afghanistan, as saying.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place, and I know that there are other websites/forums about designing and creating websites, but I was wondering if anyone here has there own website/domain/hosting service.
And if so, what web design program(s) do you use? Or what you think are some of the best programs out there?
Right now I am using Rapid Weaver, which is alright, but it has a lot of limitations, and I really dislike using pre-made/and not customizable friendly web themes. While it is a decent and easy program to use, it seems like you have to purchase a lot of different add-ons to get the most out of it.
I had a trail version of Adobe Dream Weaver, unfortunately to me it has a pretty steep learning curve. I remember years back using Microsoft Front Page 98, which was an awesome, user friendly program, but either they discontinued making it, or I just can't find it?
I am just wondering if anyone has some good recommendations for web design software? Or if you use Rapid Weaver, if you know of any good add-ons for it?
Anyways apologies once again for posting this topic in the Game-Editor forums, also if anyone has some websites they wanted to post and what programs they used to make them please post!

They really should've had an epilogue scene like this in the anime. I agree, just having Takuto turn around and widen his eyes in surprise looking at one of Meroko's feathers just didn't do it for me either.
I wanted more, and your story gave it. I'm not sure how Takuto could continue to transform Mitsuki into Full Moon once he went back to being human, but I like it.
This is a much more complete and happy ending than the one from the anime.

The Chicago Cubs announced the signing of right-handed reliever Jose Veras on Friday to a one-year contract with a club option for 2015.
News of the move leaked out last week. The team didn't disclose the terms of the deal, but a major league source told the Tribune last week that the deal was for $3.85 million, with a $150,000 buyout clause. There is a $5.5 million option for 2015 and an opportunity to earn player bonuses.

There was just simply too much going on last week for me to devote entire columns to all the issues swirling around me like cotton candy. It was an extremely busy week for me as there were quite a lot of news and important developments in the IT industry. Plus, I've found it difficult to hold a steady train of thought after the Super Bowl. Here goes:
Loving Linux
I was astonished going into the Jacob C. Javits Center in Manhattan (three hours late, more on that later) for LinuxWorld last Wednesday. As some of you know, I have vented about the lack of substantive trade shows and conferences in the industry. I think most of the VARs and software vendors I speak with feel the same. One reader recently likened Comdex and other similar shows to a P.T. Barnum circus for suckers, and I would agree. But this one was different. There was actual technology on the exhibit floor! There were innovative products! There were packed seminars, with people crowding into small, humid conference rooms and sitting on the floor to engage in spirited, insightful debates on Linux, the open source movement, security technology and the future of the software industry. There was real business being done! Suits and geeks working together! Hallelujah!
I think all of this points to the validity of Linux and the open-source community. When IBM and Computer Associates stake a sizable portion of their future on Linux, you know there's value in this game. And when Windows lovers like Hewlett-Packard, Intel and Compaq start rolling out real support for the maverick operating system, you begin to realize why Microsoft is going after Linux hard and fast. Improved standards for Linux and more software vendor support this year will really put some teeth on the penguin. Servers today, desktops tomorrow?
Interpose #1: Computer Associates endured a turbulent 2001, but Linux looks to give it new life this year. CA is a huge software franchise with a dominant position in security technology and a strong showing in infrastructure as well, but after a near mutiny and breakup of the company, there were questions about CA's direction. Now, CA's support of Linux is giving the company a new identity and, more importantly, new opportunities. Not bad for an operating system that CIOs would barely touch two years ago.
Interpose #2: Many solution providers have said Microsoft might as well be selling Linux because Microsoft's oppressive software pricing and licensing programs, proprietary products and aggressive business practices are pushing people to open source alternatives. Wake up, Bill. Your company is becoming the neighborhood bully that nobody wants to play with. Plus, lately Windows has people screaming "tech support!!!" louder than Tom Cruise in "Vanilla Sky." It's not too late to bring Microsoft back to where it should be--making technology for the customers.
Domino Effect
At Lotusphere 2001, I and many other observers felt that Lotus was without direction. A lengthy drought of new products, an odd ASP strategy and an even more murky relationship with owner IBM will do that. However, this year Lotus pointed the ship toward Java and Web services. It's not a big shock since IBM is a strong advocate of both, but some are wondering what the addition of J2EE will do to Domino and other Lotus products, and where they'll fit in with IBM's middleware software. In addition, Lotus also repositioned its services organization, which is now aligned closer to IBM and concentrates on driving new Lotus technology. My questions are 1) what new technology? and 2) isn't this new services group, now called IBM Software Services for Lotus, just a specialized sect of IBM Global Services?
Blue Note
Speaking of IBM, it was announced last week that Sam Palmisano will take over CEO duties from the legendary Lou Gerstner next month. I'm sure Palmisano, a channel friend and longtime IBM veteran, will keep the company moving in the right direction--heterogeneous environments, new technology and strong partnerships--while adding his own touch in key areas such as Web services, wireless and open source. But enough about the future; let's bow our heads for a moment in Gerstner's honor. Seriously. It's not every day that a CEO can reinvent a fledging company and turn it into the biggest technology firm in the history of the world. Thanks, Lou. You saved your company and changed the industry.
Plight of the Airline Industry
As I prefaced in the LinuxWorld section, I arrived more than three hours late to the Javits Center in Manhattan Wednesday morning. My day didn't start off good. I woke up before 5 a.m. and waited in the rain for a T train outside of Boston (why can't my subway work like Washington D.C.'s Metro, the model of public transportation?) to catch the 7 a.m. US Airways shuttle to LaGuardia, thinking this was plenty of time to catch HP chief Carly Fiorina's morning keynote and get my two pre-noon interviews in the bag. Silly rabbit...
I got to the airport, grabbed my ticket for a window seat and boarded the crowded shuttle. I think I was the only passenger not wearing a suit. Anyway, we take off without incident and head down to New York. Everything is going smoothly. After about 40 minutes, the pilot says we're preparing to land and are about five minutes away from being on the ground. Then, I notice the plane begins to ascend, which is odd. Then we start circling around the Manhattan area. Then we start circling around outside the city (I saw lots of lakes and, I think, some mountains). "This is not good," I said to the guy next to me, a fellow CMP employee. After about 15 minutes of circles, the pilot gets on and tells us, too casually for my taste, that there has been a hydraulics malfunction and they cannot land the plane in LaGuardia because the runways are too short so they must take us all the way bag to Boston. Questions are 1) what happened to Newark and JFK? and 2) how is Logan Airport, where it had been raining, by the way, safer than LaGuardia? and 3) what kind of hydraulics malfunction?
I forwarded these questions to a US Airways customer service agent (after I took the 9 a.m. shuttle to New York, landed safely, hopped in a taxi [more on this later and got to the Javits Center by 11:30, missing the keynote and two interviews). In a very revealing conversation, I told my customer service agent, whom we'll call Ethel for the purposes of this column, the situation, which took forever to verify, and asked her what kind of compensation was available and asked for a detailed description of what went wrong with the plane. It was as if I had just asked her for the air speed of African swallow. What do you mean? Ethel asked. I told her that I missed important business functions because of US Airways' faulty aircraft and, at the very least, should get a refund for the $200 roundtrip ticket. Ethel actually laughed and said US Airways doesn't guarantee its flights. Hey, I buy milk all the time but if I open up a carton one day and out comes cottage cheese, the supermarket doesn't say, "We don't guarantee our milk." Ethel said in cases of "flight irregularities," passengers are entitled to: a $50 coupon for a future flight or 1,000 frequent flyer miles. Not both, because that would be too much.
So I was entitled to either the coupon or the frequent flyer miles. No apology, no explanation of what happened to the aircraft, and no effort to keep my as a customer, all of which would have made me forget that I was only getting a $50 coupon (they can't ever get my frequent flyer miles right, so why bother). I informed her that I was a "Valued Dividend Miles" customer at US Airways and didn't that count for anything? No, Ethel told me plainly. I raged, and told her that I wanted to speak to someone in charge. She said that I could talk to as many people as I want, but the policy wasn't going to change. I told her that US Airways had lost my business for good and Ethel said, "Fine, that's your choice." The battle was lost.
I rant about this for several reasons. First, because I'm never flying US Airways again unless I absolutely cannot avoid it. Second, I want others to hate the state of the airline industry as much as me so we can get some real changes in place. For my part, I'm going to keep calling US Airways to complain for no other reason than to be a pain in the airline's tail. I'm serious. I'm going to be relentless, like in "The Shawshank Redemption" when Tim Robbins keeps writing letters to the government to get funding for a prison library and after about 20 years, finally breaks through. Join me in my quest. We'll be victorious, you'll see...
Okay, the last and real reason I write about this is because the airlines need help, and I think CRM vendors are the guys to do it. I know CRM has been criticized lately for not living up to expectations, but it can't get any worse over there. I really believe guys like Siebel Systems, PeopleSoft and other CRM software vendors can provide the right technology for the airlines and also provide the right consultancy, either directly or through partners, to improve their business practices. It's not just a technology issue, although that would have helped speed things along for me in verifying my flight information and registering a complaint. If US Airways wants to hold me to some obscure policy after I've been informed of a mechanical error while the plane is in the air and told that the plane can't land, then fine. But the least they could do was treat me with courtesy and respect in an effort to keep me as a customer. It's simply terrible business, and it's why so many airlines are heading for Chapter 11. So there it is, a challenge for you CRM specialists out there. I'm talking to you, Oracle, E.piphany, SAP and the rest of your brethren. This is your Everest. Go climb it.
Save Carly, Save HP
Lately, I've been reading a lot of negative stuff about Carly Fiorina lately in the media, and negative is putting it lightly. In response to the proposed Compaq merger and year-long slide HP has been on, some are asking her to resign, while others have levied personal attacks. They called her arrogant and overly image-conscience and say her style of glitz and glamour doesn't fit with that of the HP founders. My responses are: 1) Why do guys like Oracle's Larry Ellison and other star CEOs get to strut, but Carly can't? Is it because she's a woman playing a man's game? 2) People seem to have forgotten Fiorina was the first CEO of a major IT organization to give a mea culpa to partners last year over channel conflict and reseller mismanagement (a path the company had been on long before she arrived, I'm told). She identified the problem and developed a successful remedy in the Hard Deck policy, which is being copied by other major vendors. 3) I like risk-takers. Fiorina is clearly a risk-taker. HP has needed a shakeup and she's worked diligently to provide that shot in the arm. 4) How come everyone is attacking Fiorina and HP, which will almost surely survive regardless of the merger outcome, and not Compaq and its chief Michael Capellas, who is essentially cashing in for good? and 5) I'd like to see HP pull this off. The IT industry isn't NASCAR--you don't watch just to see crashes. This sort of merger has never been done before. I don't give it much chance for success, but I'm interested to see what HP will be like a year or two from now and what repercussions it will have in our industry.
Patriots Win the Super Bowl
I just need to throw in a quick note about this. Not since Ralphie went ballistic and whipped bullies Scott Farcus and Grover Dill in "A Christmas Story" has there been such a lovable, story book, David and Goliath underdog victory. New England didn't just win the Super Bowl; they took it, because the Lombardi trophy had been essentially handed to the St. Louis Rams well before kick-off. A triumph against all odds for a blue-collar team and blue-collar town. Just goes to show you that the little guys can overcome towering obstacles and take down the mighty giants (take notice, Microsoft).

Precious Metals: Key Levels For Buyers
Precious Metals: Key Levels For Buyers
- Most amateur gold market investors look for "road signs"that suggest gold is in a bull market or a bear market.
- In contrast, professional bank and FOREX traders focus on price levels.
- These levels are powerful support and resistance zones where professional investors buy weakness, sell strength, and do so very aggressively.
- On that note, please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this important daily gold chart.
- Investors should not waste too much time trying to discern whether gold is going to "hold" at a certain level when the price goes there.
- When the price of gold enters a key buy or sell zone, it's better to think less, and simply act with firm buy or sell action!
- There were a lot of reasons why gold should have gone higher in the $1305 – $1320 area, and it did go to about $1380, but that doesn't change the fact that $1305 – $1320 is a selling level of importance.
- Likewise, I'm sure that most gold investors are nervous now. They likely have many reasons why the $1230 – $1200 area should not be bought.
- Unfortunately, I don't believe that analysing a key support zone builds any wealth. Buying it does.
- It's true that gold can move lower than $1200, like it moved higher than $1320, but that doesn't change the fact that $1200 is a good buying area.
- Please click here now. Central banks continue to buy substantial amounts of gold, and that's generally price-supportive.
- Next, please click here now. While most investors wonder if the dollar is beginning a new leg higher, Barron's master analyst Shuli Ren wonders if it's time to unwind long positions!
- I think so, and the unwind could be the catalyst for a major gold price rally. On Friday, I sold the bulk of my long dollar/short yen position at the 110 price level.
- To view the current key price levels for the dollar against the yen, please click here now. Double-click to enlarge.
- For investors whose main focus is getting richer, it doesn't matter whether the dollar is in a bull market or a bear market. What matters are key buy and sell price levels, and the dollar is at a key sell level right now against the safe haven yen.
- RBC Bank economists turned positive on oil in the fall, and now Goldman's heavyweight team of analysts are joining the upside prediction fun.
- On that note, please click here now. Goldman is tactically bullish, and with good reason.
- Oil is the largest component of most commodity indexes. The oil price has a huge effect on institutional inflation expectations.
- RBC believes an OPEC deal with teeth is imminent. I agree. To view the price action, please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this eight hour bars oil chart.
- Goldman's fundamentally-oriented analysts have a $55 target now, and I'll note that if oil can hit $55, it would take out some key highs on the chart. That should usher in substantial commodity fund buying of both gold and oil.
- A rollover in the dollar would add to the oil price rally.
- What about gold stocks? Well, please click here now. Double-click to enlarge this GDX daily chart.
- GDX has arrived at the key $20 round number level. It's done that just as gold has moved into the $1200 area buy zone. That's significant.
- Eager gold stock enthusiasts can be buyers here in the $20 zone. Note the action of my 14,7,7 Stochastics oscillator, at the bottom of the chart. It's very positive right now. Also, Chinese jewellery companies are poised to begin their buying for the upcoming New Year celebratory season, and that tends to precede a great January rally for GDX. As Christmas approaches, tis the GDX season to be jolly!

OK let's take a step back here. If you really want to love someone you can't just grab any random guy off the street! Love doesn't work like that. You would end up with someone who drove you crazy and treated you badly.
If you want someone to really love, then take out a piece of paper for each guy that you are really good friends with and make a list of his good traits. Then make a list of his bad traits. Do NOT include things like 'cool hair'. We're talking about traits that will really have you in love, not traits that are superficial.
OK, so now look those over and decide which guy is best matched for you. Having a good match is CRITICAL for being in love. And then work on becoming his best friend. Love isn't about getting flowers or things like that. Love is about really and truly caring for someone, enjoying talking with them 24 hours a day, being happy just sitting with them and watching the sun set. That is what best friends are all about. So spend time with this guy, learn his loves and hates, share your own life with him. Start to go places with him, give him hugs hello and goodbye.
I think after a few weeks of this, that it will be really easy to ask him out, if he hasn't already asked you out!

To do jumbo packets with mtu size of 9000, looks like the mtu on the ports will need to be set accordingly since the default is 2500. I see that there is a command to change each port. Is there a global command to allow mtu sizes of up to 9000 or is this only done per port?

When his best friend and fellow Navy SEAL, Evan Prescott, died in his arms on the battlefield, Logan Kincaid gave his word to watch over Evan's widow. But for two years he kept his distance... torn between honoring his solemn vow and succumbing to his secret love for his fallen comrade's wife. But when Dani Prescott desperately reaches out to Logan for the help only he can give, he rushes to her side - determined to fight for her safety as fiercely as he fights against his own buried desire.
The heroine is a strong character but she also has a soft side .
Known to the K2 Special Services team as Romeo, ex-Navy SEAL Jake Buchanan may spend his downtime living up to his nickname, but there's one woman who sets his heart racing like no one else can: Maria Kincaid. Unfortunately, his boss - her brother - has made it crystal clear that she's off-limits. Jake doesn't do commitment, while Maria is the type of woman who deserves a promise of forever. Yet Maria finds herself drawn to Jake, the man who stares at her with a desire she wishes he'd act on.
There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
Known to the K2 Special Services team as "Saint," Jamie Turner lives by his own strict rules to compensate for his past sins and the two-ton boulder taking residence in his heart. He doesn't drink or smoke. He never swears. And he only dates nice, safe women until he meets Sugar Darling, the fill-in receptionist at K2. She's as sweet as her name, but this wild woman is definitely trouble, with something to hide. He knows he should avoid her.... But can he?
It's been a year since Ryan O'Connor buried his wife. He was in Afghanistan as a SEAL medic when the call came in that she'd been killed during a robbery. In that time, he returned home, nursed his grief, and joined his former brothers-in-arms in the K2 Special Services. After a bad breakup with her ex, Charlene "Charlie" Morgan finds happiness only when flying the friendly skies - as an aerobatic stunt pilot. But the skies aren't so friendly when her plane troubles turn out to be the work of sabotage.
Former SEAL sniper Cody Roberts has returned from Afghanistan with too many demons and a simple wish: to be left alone. Working for K2 Special Services, caring for the war dogs he rescued, playing his guitar - that's all he wants to do. But Cody is as protective as his nickname, "Dog", suggests. A man like that can't sit back when he realizes the beautiful veterinarian next door is being targeted by an unknown enemy.

John Daly is back in the news, and not because of his performance.
Quite the opposite, in fact.
Playing in last week's UBS Hong Kong Open, Daly reportedly flung his putter into the trees during the second round after being annoyed by fans using cellphones and cameras. He missed the cut after rounds of 72-75.
On Sunday, the European Tour confirmed that it would fine Daly, 46, an undisclosed amount. Tournament director Mickael Ericsson told reporters, "Yes, the circumstances regarding crowd manners and behavior will be considered, but when it all boils down there is still no excuse for throwing his putter."
Ironically, it was almost a year to the day of one of Daly's most infamous meltdowns, at last year's Australian Open. There, the two-time major champion deposited six balls in the water on one hole before storming off the course. That tantrum prompted the tournament director to huff, "I would say this is the last time we will see John Daly."
In 2010, a PGA Tour personnel file revealed that Daly had been cited 11 times for "conduct unbecoming of a professional" and another 21 times for "failure to give best effort." Over the years, his fines have totaled more than $100,000.

AOL Inc. is reportedly close to selling San Francisco's Bebo Inc., its struggling social networking subsidiary, to a Southern California investment firm.
The Wall Street Journal, citing a person familiar with the deal, identified the buyer as Criterion Capital Partners LLC of the Studio City area of Los Angeles, and said the price would be just a fraction of the $850 million that AOL paid for Bebo in May 2008. At the time, AOL was still part of Time Warner, but has now spun off as an independent company.
Adam Levin, a managing member of Criterion Capital, declined to comment on the report.
"We don't comment on rumors or speculation," Alysia Lew, AOL corporate communications director, said in an e-mail.
Bebo has struggled to retain members, especially after rivals Facebook Inc. and Twitter Inc. rose to prominence in 2009. AOL began shopping Bebo, which has its headquarters in the same Folsom Street building as Twitter, in April.
Augie Ray, a social media analyst with Forrester Research, said he would like to know more about Criterion's plans for Bebo, but said its best chance might be to concentrate on niche audiences.
"At this point, it does not seem Bebo has any serious chance to compete as an all-purpose social network," Ray said. "MySpace is focusing more on social sharing around entertainment and hi5 around social gaming, so one opportunity for the organization that acquires Bebo is to find a relevant niche to serve."
"Another is to simply let Bebo run the course that it's on," he said. "It still receives several million visitors per month, and even though Bebo continues to shrink, those visitors still represent ad revenue."

It was beautiful as long as it lasted
The journey of my life.
I have no regrets whatsoever
save the pain I'll leave behind.

And the strings pulling at the heart and soul...
The strong arms that held me up
When my own strength let me down.

Even when the time raced me by.
Farewell, farewell my friends
I smile and bid you goodbye.
No, shed no tears for I need them not
All I need is your smile.

for that's what I'll like
when you live in the hearts

you never die.

About those, I just don't care.

Households could receive up to £1,000 cashback if they sign up to a Government initiative to make their homes more energy efficient, it was announced today.
Thousands of the first applicants to the "green deal" scheme, which covers the upfront costs of improvements such as insulation and new boilers and allows homeowners to pay the money back through savings on bills, will benefit from £125 million funding.
The Energy Department said households could qualify for hundreds of pounds in a lump sum if they signed up to getting work done under the green deal, with those who undertake more improvements getting more money up to a maximum £1,000.
Households which secure cashback under the first £40 million tranche of funding will get £270 back for upgrading their gas boiler from non-condensing to condensing, £100 for loft insulation and £250 for cavity wall insulation.
Other measures including solid wall insulation, double and secondary glazing and draught proofing will also qualify for cashback.
To receive funding, which is being handed out on a first-come, first-served basis, people need to get a green deal assessment carried out on their property and then install some or all of the improvements recommended.
Energy Secretary Ed Davey said: "The green deal will provide an unprecedented choice for consumers wanting to improve their homes and make them more energy efficient.
"This cashback offer will help get the green deal off to a flying start.
"It really is a great offer – the more work households have done, the more energy they stand to save and the more cash they receive."
Mr Davey also urged businesses to take advantage of the green deal and get into what the Government hopes will be a growing market in energy efficiency provision.
The rates of cashback are guaranteed for the first £40 million of funding, after which people may receive lower rates of payment in order to ensure as many people as possible benefit, the Government said.
The Energy Department also announced a £40 million competition to drive local energy efficiency initiatives, including £25 million for councils to help those in fuel poverty, and £10 million for local authorities to boost the green deal.
And £5 million is available for local councils and community organisations for collective switching to get lower energy bills.
The green deal, and the cashback offer, will be available for households from late January 2013, but people are able to have their homes assessed now to see what measures could be installed next year.

Dr Singh is the Deputy Director General of the World Trade Organization (WTO), Geneva, with direct responsibilities in the areas of agriculture, sanitary and phytosanitary measures, trade in services, trade and environment, and technical barriers to trade. The WTO divisions that deal with these areas provide support to the committees and councils established to address WTO legal agreements pertaining to these topics. They also assist with negotiations, the dispute settlement process, provide technical assistance and capacity building services, carry out coordinated work with other international organisations or national research bodies, and conduct outreach activities. His responsibilities also include e-commerce issues and certain administrative matters, representational participation in high level events/discussions, and coordinated work with other international organisations.
Dr Singh was with LIRNEasia from April to September 2005, conducting theoretical and empirical analysis of telecom policies to promote communication services in Asian nations. This work complemented his experience with the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India, and resulted in the LIRNEasia paper "Asian Backbone Study: A General Model Applied to India". "My work with LIRNEasia does not overlap with much of my subsequent job at the WTO. However, my time at LIRNEasia was a very good intellectual experience," says Dr Singh. "It gave me the opportunity to interact with a group of highly intelligent and informed people from diverse backgrounds, seeking better insights and productive ways to improve policies and make a positive contribution to social and economic objectives through the use of better regulatory policies and new technologies."
