Tom Cruise: Box Office Poison
Tom Cruise isn't going to be playing the role of Edwin A. Salt, a fictional CIA officer who is outed as a spy. Fox 411 reports that the production, "Edwin A. Salt," from Columbia Pictures, has been a huge, expensive headache.
Now Tom is out, and apparently it's about the money. Tommy still thinks he's a "Top Gun" in Hollywood. He used to be the highest-paid star, but he's not commanding a $20 million salary like he did in the past. A studio source says:
The reasons for Cruise's departure are not just his diminished popularity, negative public opinion and Scientology — although those would be good enough. It's also just generational. Cruise is 45. His heyday as a box office star — if he ever had one — is over. Like past huge leading action stars such as Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, Cruise must face the brutal facts of aging. Ironically, he's been replaced by Will Smith, whom Cruise has courted for Scientology.
Yep, Tommy's officially a cougar now, and a lot of people aren't real keen spending their money or time on Mr. Couch! Cruise's upcoming release, "Valkyrie," is due next February. It isn't going to help Tommy's image to play a Nazi, although it may have been a breeze for him to get into character. Just ask Katie!
The fact that his kids Isabella and Connor still don't see their mother, Nicole Kidman, doesn't help. The kids haven't visited Nic here in Nashville, nor have they met their new half-sister, Sunday Rose. Isabella and Connor live in Xenu lockdown, and may be thoroughly brainwashed by now. Tragic. Not good for Tommy's image.
Imprisoning and stalking Katie doesn't help. Cruise is clueless, however… he still thinks his past success (and the lifts in his shoes) make him a big man on campus. Karma's a bitch, baby.

Guest Column by Prof. V. Suryanarayan
Rohingyas are one of the most persecuted and unwanted people in the world today.
Paper No. 5610 Dated 25-Nov-2013
Guest Column by Dr. Tint Swe
The UN resolutions passed earlier on human rights situation in Burma/Myanmar have been applauded by the oppressed people of the country since 1992. In fact this has been an encouragement for the people, while the then successive governments of Burma/Myanmar continuously rejected them. Even today, the Burmese authorities reject any resolutions passed by the UN.

- His & Hers Holiday Hell
His & Hers Holiday Hell
Posted By Pam
On Sunday, December 12, 2010
Of all of the terrible fashion trends that have come and gone, I don't think too many people would disagree with me if I said that the matching couple clothing phenomenon was one of the worst. It seems to have its roots in the 60s and really hit its stride in the 70s before (thankfully) burning out, at least in Sears catalogs, by the time the 80s rolled around. When I look at these pages from the 1975 Sears Wish Book holiday catalog, so many questions come to mind. Who actually wore his and hers matching outfits? Was one half of the couple responsible for buying both outfits, or did they shop for them together? The fact that these are so prevalent in Christmas catalogs makes me wonder how one was supposed to go about giving these as a gift - talk about awkward.
But enough jabbering from me - time to take a little trip into 70s geekdom:
OK, the couple in blue look halfway normal, but there is something so wrong about seeing a man in bedtime attire that shows off his legs that does not resemble boxers or briefs. The thick rugby stripes and huge honking collar are just not helping.
There's nothing with wearing your heart on your sleeve, but as an applique decorating your sleepwear? I don't know what man would be caught dead in that thing who wasn't named Elton John.
Why is the name of the brand "Hands Off"? It should be "Sexy Time." Think of how much fun it would be to unbutton your partner's bottom on that red union suit.
I wanna be a cowboy...and you can be my cowgirl.
"The same ugly shirt, for the both of you!"
"Let's play the Hillbilly Brother and Sister in Love game."
Gives new meaning to the I"m with Stupid" shirts.
4 comments:
I remember clearly the matching outfits from the Sears or JC Penney catalogs from back then but I never saw anyone actually wear them in real life.
As for the last picture with the T-shirts, with the exception of the HIS/HERS design, I would totally wear any of them today if I had them. The one that says Spirit of 76 is just awesome!I enjoy looking at your old catalog pictures. I have good memories of being happy when the Sears and JC Penney catalogs would come in the mail. It was always fun looking through them. My mom and dad actually did have matching western shirts. They were supposed to go to a square dancing event but mom got sick so they couldn't. My cousin had the bib overalls in the late 70s.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) — Joe Coleman scored 29 points and Andre Hollins added 22 to help No. 10 Minnesota top No. 13 Illinois Wednesday 84-67 and remain undefeated in the Big Ten.
The Gophers (15-1, 3-0 Big Ten) held off a charge by the 13th-ranked Illini midway through the second half.
Joseph Bertrand pulled Illinois within at 44-42 on a short jumper with 12:37 left.
BOX SCORE: No. 10 Minnesota, No. 13 Illinois 67
But the physical matchup took its toll on the Illini (14-3, 1-2). And as Illinois piled up fouls, Trevor Mbakwe connected on layup with 6:15 to play for a 62-49 lead that Illinois couldn't overcome.
Mbakwe added 19 points and 11 rebounds.
Brandon Paul led Illinois with 21 points.

To allow the essence of me to meet the essence of you in peeling away the layers and letting go of the myriad of masks that shield our fragile essence
To speak, to hear, to be true each second is to honour what is real even above what is beautiful
To act, to drag what is thought and said into clarified action
To dance in the storm and embrace life in all its complex simplicity – And zen…
To be embedded in the beautiful nothing, the grand void of the insignificant
To notice the nurtured nuance of heartbeat and the tear that slides delicately down a cheek
To reduce life to the exquisite richness of the NOW – to be wholly in the present, starting a new chapter every day
To remove the residue of emotional pain that lingers and controls our souls as we dance naked in the freezing rain
To shatter the heavy casing around our hearts that makes us over protect and let it beat, open so wide in the shadows of divine vulnerability
To risk it all to love and receive love and live completely and unabashedly the moist fertile flower of sensitivity
To engage the mess, the irregular, the faulty in order to embrace and adore the raw
To delicately provoke
To gently confront
To stir and disrupt with discreet sensitivity
To make love with our hearts the insignificant
To honour the beauty of the hidden
To cherish the unseen
To look with clarified eyes what lies beneath
To know that reality is much different often to what appears
To be fearless in the face of toxic agendas
To be defiant in the subversive destruction of impure manipulation
To never yield to what attacks our hearts
To say no to what does not serve us in a positive way
To live honest minute to minute
To be unrelenting in our kindness
To ensure that justice always accompanies our compassion
To be unwavering in assisting our brothers and sisters
To let our essence be seen even in the face of rejection
To live life completely unrestricted from fear
To risk the raw to be real
To be true to self, above all (Shakespeare)
To be strong enough to always be soft
To be free with disrupted clarity
To dream and live a juicy life with power and passion
To be fearless and to live with intention
To live with considered responsibility to enable our humanity to survive in the cyborg age
Do we dare? Do we dare risk it all to be real? Do we dare imagine the opportunity to expose the tender imperfection of our essence to another?
To be only essence as the layers of life disappear and the Diamond Core is all that is left completely exposed and starts to sparkle and speak again
To allow our truth of self to surge up and become the only mode of being and with clarified vision we see with new eyes the great unravelling
T0 reduce our lives to the essentials in order to live life appropriately wild with uninhibited intention with a freedom that is completely deliberate

Which Joe gave his name to 'sloppy joes'? We look at five interesting sandwiches and their lexical origins.
Linguistics PhilosophyDenoting or relating to a term representing a semantic feature that applies to an entity as long as it exists, classifying it as being of a particular kind.
- 'Let 'F' and 'G' be certain sortal terms, that is to say, general terms denoting certain sorts or kinds of substantial individual.'
- 'Such completely general terms as 'thing' 'entity' or 'object', on Dummett's view, are not genuine sortal terms, since they fail to provide any criteria of identity.'
- 'It will be shown that a semantic fit between the sortal restrictions activated by the preposition and a depicted object results in inhibitory effects.'
- 'Well, what is this nature, this sortal attribute?'
Linguistics PhilosophyA sortal term, for example human as opposed to engineer.
- 'I think Rosenberg's theory of ingression offers a good ontological place for universals: as determinable effective properties and as certain sortals - the latter corresponding to receptive relations.'
- 'On the other hand, to justify a total ban on constitutive reference with conceptual sortals, which would affect Anselm's argument, one would have to show that any such reference has to lead to a paradox.'
- 'Another type of important simple sortal comprises the stage sortals that apply exclusively to partly real individuals of a given kind.'
- 'Moreover, artifact sortals can be essentially or nonessentially artifactual.'
- 'Sortals for living objects determine principles of activity; sortals for artifacts determine principles of functioning.'

I will never pay $10 for an ebook, but I will gladly pay $10 for a paperback, or even $20-30 for a hardcover 1st edition. {via kottke}
iPad: The Maxipad Of Tablets

Apple had their must touted event yesterday which launched their unfortunately named tablet onto the masses. I can appreciate good design and great products, though I'm not an Apple fan-boy.
Let's get one thing straight. You won't be using your iPad to game. You'll be trying to pass the time while you're on public transport or something like that and you'll be playing some games, though no Flash games, which makes this a bit annoying.
No flash=no Hulu
That's a pretty bad equality to start out with.

Microemulsion technique is employed to reduce the viscosity of vegetable oils, which is used as the source of renewable fuels. A recent study is conducted by Ren zhu et al., on the phase behavior of microemulsion and the solubilization mechanism of water and castor oil, in order to evaluate the solubilization capacity of water and castor oil in diesel under given conditions. The proper concentration of rhamnolipid (RL) was 50 g/L. N-octanol was certified as an ideal cosurfactant with the optimal cosurfactant/surfactant (C/S) mass ratio (w/w) of 0.60. The optimum castor oil/diesel (V/D) volume ratio (v/v) was 0.18. Moreover, fuel properties of water-containing castor oil/diesel (WCD) microemulsion were identified. The thermal and storage stability of WCD microemulsion were also conducted. Compared with castor oil, WCD microemulsion has lower viscosity, which presents similar fuel characteristics as diesel.

Rheological Behavior of Castor Oil Biodiesel
From the ACS Publications – Energy Fuels, 2005, 19 (5), pp 2185–2188
Viscosity, the measurement of the internal flow resistance of a liquid, constitutes an intrinsic property of vegetable oils. It is of remarkable influence in the mechanism of atomization of the fuel spray, in other words, in the operation of the injection system. This property is also reflected in the combustion process, whose efficiency depends the maximum power developed by the engine. This work aims at assessing the rheological behavior of castor oil, castor oil biodiesel, and undegraded and degraded biodiesel at different exposure times and temperatures. Castor oil biodiesel presents viscosity higher than diesel oil, but this drawback can be corrected by means of blends of both components at different proportions. The viscosity data indicated that the heat treatment leads to a degradation of the samples accompanied by an increase of the viscosity, probably because of interactions with intermediary compounds. The degraded samples presented a pseudoplastic behavior, once the flow index, m, is smaller than 1.
Thermoanalytical Characterization of Castor Oil Biodiesel – A Research Project
See details of a project on " Thermoanalytical Characterization of Castor Oil Biodiesel" presented at ScienceDirect in Nov 2005
By: Marta M. Conceição, Roberlúcia A. Candeia, Fernando C. Silva, Aline F. Bezerra, Valter J. Fernandes, Jr. and Antonio G.Souza
The castor oil seed has 47–49% of oil. Biodiesel obtained from castor oil has a lower cost compared to the ones obtained from other oils, as due its solvability in alcohol transesterification occurs without heating. The use of biodiesel will allow a reduction on the consumption of petroleum-derived fuels minimizing the harmful effects on the environment. This work wants to provide a thermoanalytical and physical-chemistry characterization of castor oil and biodiesel. Biodiesel was obtained with methyl alcohol and characterized through several techniques. Gas chromatography indicated methyl ester content of 97.7%. The volatilization of biodiesel starts and finishes under inferior temperatures than the beginning and final volatilization temperatures of castor oil. Biodiesel data are very close to the volatilization temperatures of conventional diesel.

How can I close a file that is open in another program ?
Iwant to delete a file. I am logged on as Administrator, have taken ownership, have Effective Permission to perform a deletion, but I am unable to delete a file because it is being used by another program.

Have you rebooted after uninstalling MSE? If so, are you still seeing the context menu options from MSE in Explorer?
You may have to look in the registry then and delete from there so the file doesn't gets loaded then and you'll be able to delete it thereafter. |

then he got all mad like as if I just did the worse thing possible, so he cleaned his face and right on exiting the BR, POW antiqued again. LOL hahaha
Then he was saying how it was rude and blah blah, and I just said, -"Next time I tell you I don't feel like playing around and getting nerf balls thrown at me then stop."
ha now he feels all defeated and is moping around the house, shooting me dirty looks, lol
I probably should feel bad but this was too good.

Anonymous, Semester 2, 2016
For those that have done accounting in Year 12, please do not underestimate this subject. The first few weeks may seem like a repetition of what you have done, but you are later taught newer and more in depth accounting knowledge that can be rather tricky. The exams formats are very very unpredictable and I was a little peeved that the semester 2 exam had a different exam format to past years. We were caught unaware with an essay question based on a one page article. Wished that this subject could've prepared us more for the exam and give us more challenging tute questions instead of just only throwing tricky ones into the final exam.

Cayenne pepper, the hot pepper that adds a kick to so many spicy dishes, also has a long history as an herbal remedy used to increase circulation, soothe stomach pains and raise metabolism. Its active ingredient, capsaicin, can now be obtained as an ointment or cream to rub on aching joints and muscles. The best-known side effect, whether used on the skin or internally, is the heat.
Other People Are Reading
Drink with Caution
Those who drink cayenne powder mixed in water should be aware that it will burn while being swallowed and also when excreted. Some prefer cayenne capsules to minimise this effect. For those who want the more direct impact of cayenne powder in water, the wisest course is to begin with smaller amounts, as little as 1/4 tsp of cayenne powder per glass of warm water. Another helpful idea is to keep a second glass of water nearby to dilute any burning effect in the mouth. Those who continue to use cayenne usually find that their bodies adjust and can tolerate larger doses without sensitivity.
External Use Tips
When beginning to use ointments and creams containing capsaicin, it is best to begin by testing on a small area of skin. Be sure to use only on unbroken skin. After rubbing it on, if the heat proves to be too much, the cream or ointment can be removed using dish detergent or baby shampoo. Wiping down with rubbing alcohol after washing will ensure that all the capsaicin has been removed. Mucous membranes are particularly sensitive, so be careful to avoid touching your eyes or nose after handling cayenne powder or capsaicin cream.
Gastric Problems
Cayenne has been successfully used to treat ulcers, but too large of a dose may inflame them, so patients with ulcers, heartburn or gastritis should use it in small doses cautiously, and seek medical advice for any gastric distress.
Allergies to Cayenne
An allergy some people develop, called "Latex-fruit syndrome," can include cayenne. These allergens are found in cayenne as well as banana, chestnut, avocado, mango, kiwi and natural rubber items such as latex gloves, condoms and balloons. Symptoms include skin rashes or hives, abdominal pain and vomiting, and severe headaches.
Deadly Nightshade Toxicity
Although not technically an allergy, many people are genetically unable to process solanine, a mildly toxic chemical found in all plants in the deadly nightshade family. Cayenne is a nightshade, as are potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant and all peppers including bell peppers, chilli peppers and paprika. Symptoms of nightshade toxicity can be rashes, stomach upset, headaches, joint pain, muscular weakness, pain or spasms. For those who suspect that their symptoms might be caused by nightshade sensitivity, staying away from those foods for a few weeks or months should allow the body to clear out the solanine.
Cayenne has been found to interact with blood thinners, antacids and aspirin, so those considering taking cayenne who have serious medical conditions and who use those prescription or over-the-counter drugs should first consult with their health-care provider.

main concentration is in short term and Medium term
credit, since their borrowers constitute chiefly
farmers, whose need of credit being short term in
nature. Accordingly the Primary Agricultural
Cooperative Banks give main thrust to short-term
The short term credit constitutes crop loans, jewel
loans, consumer loans and other miscellaneous loans.
Under the crop loan, credit system is extended in
cash and kind with reference to the Scale of finance
for various crops as fixed by the technical
committee. The kind portion of the loan is generally
fertilizer and pesticides. In the Perambalur
District Rs.2769.04 lakhs have been disbursed for

well here it is ma first actual flash with effort and i like it personally since its the best thing ive ever made. only bad thing is i have music but i dont know where to get sound effects. so anyone that can help me with that little issue ill be happy to update this puppy and make it way betta than what it is. well enjoy and let the megaman xy saga begin!!!!!! :)
Rated 3 / 5 stars
This could go places
I'm a huge mark for most things to come out from MMX and MMZ. If this is just an intro to what we could be getting as you get better, keep it coming. Apart from you spending more time on it, don't use FF music. It's really out of place. And nothing against Frewty Lewps, but don't use that beeping dialogue. And yeah, that scale thing jemster211 mentioned. The fight could be better, but that's just because it's your first. Let's see where this goes...
Rated 3.5 / 5 stars
Not bad for a first
Although i thought the sprites were kinda short and the text went a little fast.
Rated 2 / 5 stars
Really needs work.
Fine little flash except for the fact that there's no sound effects, the quality of the text is horrible, and the music is very quiet. Fix those issues and this has the potential to be good.
Rated 2.5 / 5 stars
Nothing too exciting
It seems to have some sort of plot, but the action was very weak. The movie also had an issue with everything looking unsharp, the text was hard to read and so on. The logo was obviously doctored, you should take the time to do a little better editing there, maybe even trace the bitmap for vector sharpness. The scale of the pictures didn't work out well either, it just didn't feel like they where big enough compared to the background. You should also employ a preloader.
Rated 4 / 5 stars
Not a bad start.
Way too short though. Nice to see Nightmare Zero. He isn't used enough. He never got any love. Oh well. can't wait to see where this goes.

Resource Allocation and Scheduling in FDD Multihop Cellular SystemsAuthors: Schoenen, Rainer and Otyakmaz, Arif and Xu, ZhouyunDepartment of Communication Networks (ComNets), Faculty 6, RWTH Aachen University Contact: Rainer Schoenen In Proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Multiple Access Communications (MACOM) at ICC 2009, p. 6, Dresden, Germany, 2009.

Abstract Cellular radio systems of the next generation aim to make the most out of the available radio resources in the dimensions bandwidth, time and space. The division of time into slots, frames and superframes is standard, both for TDD and FDD duplex modes. OFDMA allows the individual disposition of subchannels as a subdivision of the bandwidth but an aggregation of subcarriers. A basic resource unit is hence a brick in this wo-dimensional grid. Space is important both as the location of the base station in whose surrounding the resources are used and in spatial diversity channels. These resources are the scarce good in future radio communications, because they are required proportionally to the traffic demand per area. Due to adaptive modulation and coding schemes and large ranges of possible SINR values, the required resources for a transmission may differ by a factor ten depending on the distances. In this paper we discuss the resource allocation and scheduling mission. We introduce a control system view on the topic, taking adaptive algorithms for modulation, power, subchannel usage and channel quality indication into account. |

After almost 3 years of waiting, WiMAX operator Yes 4G has finally arrived in Sabah. During the official launch, its Executive Director Yeoh Soo Keng has mentioned that Yes 4G network has covered 60% of populated areas in Sabah and they aim to extend this further to 80% by year end. A quick check on their coverage map reveals that most major towns in Sabah including the interior ones have coverage.
Apart from Kota Kinabalu, Tawau and Sandakan, Yes 4G has coverage at Kudat, Ranau, Kota Marudu, Kota Belud, Tuaran, Papar, Beaufort, Kuala Penyu, Sipitang, Keningau, Tambunan, Lahad Datu and Semporna. In addition, the duty free island of Federal Territory Labuan is covered as well. If you plan on uploading a resolution video of your climb at Mount Kinabalu, unfortunately the National Park isn't covered by Yes 4G yet. Who knows they would extend their coverage to the highest peak of Malaysia later on.
At the moment, they have 5 retail outlets at shopping malls in Kota Kinabalu. Unlike other operators that roll out services in phases, Yes 4G has emulate their same strategy of building a wide coverage network first before starting their service commercially in Sabah.
You can check out some maps of Yes 4G's Sabah coverage areas after the break.
It has been speculated for quite a while that Green Packet is selling a major stake of its P1 WiMAX business. Now Reuters has reported that the deal is more or less finalised and Green Packet will be announcing the successful buyer by the end of this month.
Its Managing Director and CEO, CC Puan is expected to make an announcement on the deal in the coming weeks. So far, it has been speculated that DiGi, TM and YTL are in talks in acquire a controlling stake of P1 for its wireless spectrum. Among the 3, YTL is the only provider with an active WiMAX service running under its Yes brand while DiGi has started its 4G LTE service in mid 2013. TM is said to be planning to roll out LTE services by this month.
P1 is currently allocated 30MHz in the 2.3GHz WiMAX band and 20MHz of the 2.6GHz 4G LTE spectrum. Such spectrum is very limited and is very valuable for other players that aims to grab a foothold in wireless game.

While Najib is proud of cheap kangkung the rest of you may be more interested to know that apparently Malaysia has the most affordable internet in the world (or at least among emerging and developing countries).
This may be harder to swallow than a bunch of uncooked water spinach to some but in the Affordability Report 2013, an independent study done by the Alliance for Affordable Internet, Malaysia tops the list among 46 emerging and developing countries including China, Brazil, Turkey and Hungary in terms of affordable internet.
Published on December 8, last year, the report presents an 'Affordability Index', which ranks nations across communications infrastructure and access and affordability indicators fundamental to achieving affordable Internet. The study also explores key barriers to affordable internet.
While many Malaysians lament that internet in Malaysia is still expensive compared to developed countries like Singapore and Korea, the study finds that Malaysia is on the right track noting that Government initiatives such as Public-Private Partnerships to expand broadband infrastructure and making basic internet access and equipment affordable for the low-income bracket through subsidies are bearing fruit. According to MCMC, four out of five Malaysians now have access to 3G.
This is a stark contrast to developing countries where people are living on less than US$2/day. In these countries, the report noted, entry-level broadband costs an average of 40% of monthly income and most cases basic internet exceeds 80% or 100%. As a result, billions cannot afford to get online, entrenching the digital divide and constraining economic and social progress.
Sonia Jorge, executive director of A4AI commented:
"Countries such as Malaysia, Brazil or Morocco, which top our Affordability Index, show how rapid progress can be made when innovative technologies are twinned with an enabling, forward-looking policy and regulatory environment which stimulates supply as well as demand. A4AI is committed to working hand-in-hand with countries to help drive down the cost of broadband."
So what do you think? Feeling the good vibe? Internet in Malaysia may not be as cheap as some might like but it is certainly affordable and readily available compared to many countries even the developing ones. At the very least speeds have increased while prices have remained fairly constant and it's certainly good that most local operators are not as restrictive with data quotas and usages as they can be. Let's hope some things remain the same while other continue to improve

Yes has recently launched a new device in a form of a Samsung Chromebook which comes with built-in 4G WiMAX connectivity. Running on Chrome OS, the Samsung Chromebook is powered by a dual-core Exynos 5 processor with a 11.6″ display that does 1366×768 pixels resolution. Weighing just slightly over a kilogram, the Chromebook boasts a battery life of 6.5 hours. In terms of storage, it gets a SSD storage of 16GB with complimentary 100GB Google Drive cloud storage for 2 years.
The Samsung Chromebook is priced at RM1,299 outright with RM100 Yes Credit. Alternatively, it can be yours from as low as RM988 with 24 months contract of Yes 88 Plan that offers 3.5GB at RM88/month. However there's an upfront advance payment of RM311 required, which means you would need to prepare RM1,299 at the time of purchase.
The idea of having a 4G connected laptop isn't entirely new in Malaysia. P1 has offered WiMAX embedded laptops and netbooks 3 years ago without much success. The biggest challenge back then was mobile coverage and pricing which was a premium over the standard non-WiMAX offering. As far as mobile connectivity is concerned, Yes WiMAX network is capable of seamless connection while on the move and it all boils down to the appeal of Chromebook's cloud based OS. Being heavily reliant on internet connectivity, it is different from the usual Mac/Windows laptops experience.
For more information, head over to Yes's 4G Chromebook page.
Watch the Samsung 4G Chromebook promo video after the break.
Yes has introduced a new time limited promo ValuePacks where it offers double the quota that's split based on off-peak and on-peak usage. This follows the exact same time slot as Maxis Broadband with peak data running from 8AM until 2AM and off-peak data from 2AM until 8AM. The special promo ValuePacks are offered from now until 2nd August 2013. The existing 1Malaysia Valuepack, ValuePack 68 & 150 are still being offered as well.
Apart from introducing these new ValuePacks, Yes has also made a drastic change on its unused data quota, calls and SMS. Previously, the Yes ValuePack allows you to carry forward unused usage to the following month as long as you top up before the expiry period which makes it rather appealing.
After 1st August, any accumulated data, calls and SMS will be automatically forfeited after 30 days even after topping up with a new ValuePack. For existing customers, you have 90 days grace period to utilise your accumulated data. Now the valuepacks are merely data quota boosters that last for 30 days. You can get the full valuepack details here.
For those who don't really use much, Yes has also revised its Prepaid Plan. In the previous Yes plan, you would need to commit a minimum of RM30/month spending to keep your account valid. Now with the new "Yes Prepaid Plan", there's no longer a RM30 minimum monthly spend. This means you truly pay for what you use without spending a minimum RM30 each month.
To sweeten the deal, they are giving quarterly Bonus where they give additional data based on your quarterly top up. The quarter bonus are as follows:
RM75-RM150 (1GB – 500MB off peak / 500MB on peak)
RM151-RM450 (3GB – 1.5GB off peak / 1.5GB on peak)
RM451 and above (6GB – 3GB off peak / 3GB on peak)
Fortunately the free data does not expire and it is given out in January, April, July and October. More details of the new "Yes Prepaid Plan" over here.
Overall, the new revision is good for very casual users who would want to keep Yes as a backup internet service since there's no RM30/month minimum spend. However for long term valuepack users, the new 30 day expiry is quite a turn off. For those who can't finish their monthly valuepack top up should consider disabling auto renewal and activate valuepack only when it is needed.
UPDATE: It has been brought to our attention that the 1Malaysia Valuepack comes with hidden restrictions (Read FAQ #10). Valuepack generally allows unused bundled calls/sms/data to be carry forward but the same benefits do not apply for 1Malaysia valuepack. If you are using the previous Valuepack 68/150, you would need to top up with a minimum of Valuepack 68 or else you will lose all your accumulated talktime, SMS and data. This is a tricky situation which some of our readers are caught off guard. Thanks Leongwhg for highlighting.
Yes now adds a new 1Malaysia valuepack into its prepaid broadband offering that offers 1GB of data for just RM25/month. This is seen as a low entry monthly commitment option that compliments the current Valuepack 68 which offers 3.5GB for RM68 and Valuepack 150 with 10GB for RM150.
While it seen as RM5 cheaper than the standard pay as you go Yes prepaid rates of RM30 for 1GB (3 sen per MB), the valuepack comes with its own advantage such as the ability to bring forward unused data to the following month. For example if you only used 500MB this month, the following month you will have a total of 1.5GB provided that you top up before the expiry of the valuepack. In addition, Yes is bundling free 100 minutes of voicecall and 300 SMS but that's only limited to numbers within the Yes network.
For those who are on existing valuepack, this 1Malaysia valuepack is the cheapest way to keep your accumulated data and calls validity active. For more information, head over to Yes Valuepack page.
Yes today has announced the Huddle XS, its 2nd 4G Hotspot device. The original Yes Huddle is one of our favourite portable MiFi solution that's easy to use with stellar performance.
The new model comes with a smaller footprint and it is almost half the weight of its predecessor. In terms of specs which we've obtained from InfoMark, the Huddle XS has less battery capacity but boasts a longer life of up to 6 hours. The only disadvantage of the Huddle XS is the lack of removable battery.
For existing or those intending to subscribe to Yes on prepaid, the Huddle XS is priced at RM480 outright. It is also offered as low as RM80 if you purchased it with 24 months contract of Yes Unlimited Super Postpaid plans.
For more information of the new Huddle XS, head over to Yes Huddle XS page.
Yes today has finally launched its long awaited 4G Android smart phone that comes with dual-mode (4G WiMAX/3G SIM) capabilities. It retails for RM1,688 outright and comes bundled with 3 plan options of 3 plans on offer at RM88, RM138 & RM238 monthly.
The eclipse can be yours for free with 24 months bundling of eclipse 238 plan that comes with 7GB of data, free calls/SMS within Yes network and 1000 free SMS/minutes of voice calls. Interesting to note that they are offering the new slim Huddle XS 4G hotspot for RM400 with the bundled offer. The huddle XS is going for RM480 outright or RM80 when bundled with 24 months contract of Yes Postpaid plan. More details of the huddle XS here.
In terms of specs, it runs on a single core 1GHz Qualcomm processor with 512MB RAM and 2GB of ROM. Over at the front you get a 4.1″ WVGA display with a front facing VGA camera. At the back it comes with a 5MP camera with assisted LED flash and it is powered with a 1,500mAh battery. The eclipse runs on a rather dated Android 2.2 Froyo. In addition to your standard Android features, the eclipse can support 4 way video calls and 6 way audio calls over Yes's 4G network. Being a dual-mode device, you can stay connected or make calls via your regular 3G SIM where Yes's 4G network is out of reach.
More info on the Yes Eclipse here.
Head after the break for the introductory video of the Yes Eclipse phone.
Update: Picture of the actual device right after the jump. @jnoathan who contributed the picture also mentioned that the device will be called the Huddle XS. Also, @dieselelectric highlighted something we forgot to mention earlier — unlike the original Huddle, the Huddle XS features non-removable battery. Thanks guys! More details of the Huddle XS here.
In addition to the launch of its very own 4G Android smartphone, Yes is also working on a new version of its Huddle 4G mobile WiFi router and while we've heard about this a number of times since last year, there has not been any solid information about the device. That is, until now.
In the treasure trove of geekdom that is the LowYat.Net forums, we found very detailed albeit not officially confirmed information about the new Yes Huddle.
Like the old Huddle, the new Huddle is an off-the-shelve solution by Korean manufacturer Infomark and it's the device you see pictured above. Overall, the new Huddle will be thinner and have a smaller footprint than the original but the device is said to have a longer battery lifespan – 7.8 hours claimed compared to the 5 hours in the original Huddle. The new Huddle is also thinner at 12.5mm compared to 18mm in the original. As far as we know, there won't be any colour options, the new Huddle will only be offered in white.
The new Huddle also features an improved operation status indicator with three separate LEDs in charge of displaying power, WiMAX and WiFi status indicators making the power and wireless status levels easier to read at a glance. Although we would prefer a proper screen that can display information in more detail.
In terms of pricing, a source in the LowYat.Net forums said that it will retail for RM480 and is likely to be offered for free with a 24 months contract. Launch detail has not been revealed yet but it looks like it will happen soon if not at the same time as the Eclipse launch.
The Huddle is one of our favourite mobile router because of its long lasting battery and the consistent high-speed performance offered by the Yes 4G network. The new Huddle improves on all the critical aspects of the old Huddle and is set to be another popular device from Yes. However we would like to see Yes offer a special upgrade scheme for existing or long-standing customer to incentivise them to purchase the new device. Hopefully they've thought about that already.
UPDATE 2: Yes Eclipse 4G Smart Phone launched at RM1,688. Read more about it here.
UPDATE 1: Unconfirmed pricing of the Eclipse is RM1,680 outright. The phone is said to be offered for free with a 24-months contract. Monthly pricing for this plan is not yet known. If the pricing is indeed true, the Eclipse is way overpriced for its specification considering that you can get a current dual-core Android for the same amount of money or even less. The Eclipse is looking to be a device that will easily Eclipsed by its peers.
Yes will be launching its new 4G phone on Wednesday but it was already revealed during its dealer conference last week. Earlier on, it was spotted in the hands of their staff during PC Fair.
According to the dealer that posted, the device will be running on a single core 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8255 processor, 512MB of RAM and 2GB of built-in storage. The screen is 4.1″ TFT that does a respectable resolution of 800×480. There's a 5MP camera at the back with LED and a front facing VGA camera for video calls. Speaking of video calls, it was mentioned that the phone can make a 4 way video call simultaneously. In terms of dimensions, it is 12.9mm thick and weighs about 135 grams.
Yes is expected to offer bundling package like the other devices previously. More pricing and details shall be revealed this Wednesday.

RtI Interventions for Math
Anyone well versed in Response to Intervention (RtI)for math is familiar with the recommendations of the Institute for Education Sciences' "What Works" report, "Assisting Students Struggling with Mathematics: Response to Intervention (RtI) for Elementary and Middle Schools", published in 2009. It's the Department of Education's main treatise regarding RtI.
In the report, a series of eight generalized intervention recommendations are presented and judged based on research-based evidence. Although all eight are valuable and need to be considered, only four are judged to have strong or moderate evidence to support them at the time of the report's publication. (All four links go to the same report, but each recommendation's specific page can be found separately within the report.)
Let's look at those four-evidence based recommendations, and find specific strategies that fall into the generalized recommendation.
Students who have been classified as Tier 2 or 3 in RtI need their instruction to be organized and scaffolded. They lack the numeracy skills and background knowledge to engage in theoretical exercises with math.
Nothing is more systematic than the four-step approach to problem solving. Students seek to understand the problem, devise a plan to solve the problem, carry out the plan, and look back to analyze their result. Here is a Teaching Hacks article describing the problem solving process further.
A stripped-down version of the Gradual Release Model, the "I do, We do, You do" strategy is effective in all levels of education. As RtI students require as much structure as possible, the strategy gives them an effective way to know what to expect from a lesson.
In word problems, not only can "I do, We do, You do" be used to solve problems, it can also be used to have students create their own word problems, reaching synthesis, a higher level of taxonomy. Students should start with sentences that involve a specific math operation and build from there. (McCarney, S.B., Cummins Wunderlich, K., Bauer, A. (1994). The Teacher's Resource Guide: Columbia, MO.)
Graphics are important in math instruction, especially as the curriculum becomes more data-based under the Common Core State Standards. RtI students are not excluded from having to be able to read charts, graphs, and other math graphics.
Intervention Central has a great intervention that uses Question-Answer Relationships (QAR) to help students break down math graphics. In short, QARs come in four types:
- Right There questions are found explicitly in the graphic
- Think and Search are not quite as explicit, but still can be found in the graphic with some close analysis
- Author and You asks students to compare the data with their own life experiences and opinions
- On My Own are questions that only require the students' knowledge and experience to answer
Rehearsal of math facts is a key step in the RtI process because many of the students who fall into Tier 2 or 3 status are missing key pieces of background information, usually in the form of math facts. Taking ten minutes each day to review these facts may be frustrating and boring, but there is a way to make flash card practice more effective.
Intervention Central has another strategy that uses flash card practice, but balances the facts in quickly recalled "known" facts and unknown facts. In short, unknown facts are modeled by a teacher or tutor and then presented with known facts in a sequence. Not only does this systematically build recall, it also builds confidence in the student because they are consistently getting cards correct throughout the process.
Learn more about RtI in the white paper: Math Intervention and the Promise of Adaptive Learning.

In this article from the archives, Andy Plemmons shares how he makes sure his students have a voice in the library and beyond.
Subscribers can find more great articles like this here.
What does it mean to empower the voices of members of our library community? The library program does not belong to one person, and it is up to us as school librarians to look for ways to empower each voice in our school. By offering a variety of experiences and by taking risks to try new and innovative practices, we are more likely to find opportunities for students who may not have found their voice yet.
Student Voice in the Collection
When students come into the library to search for something to read, they should be able to find themselves and their interests. I, of course, have an obligation to diversify the collection and introduce readers to different perspectives and topics, but readers should also be able to find their own interests and passions. I cannot assume that I know what interests kids. Therefore, I've found value in turning the process of developing the collection over to students. Each year, I reserve a portion of our library budget for students. This student book budget project is led by third through fifth graders who are selected by an application process. Basically, if you apply to be in the group and have a genuine interest, you are included.
I offer advice, but the decisions belong to them. Using Google Forms, the book budget team develops a reading interest survey that is emailed to all third through fifth graders. For our younger students, the team individually surveys students in classrooms, at lunch, and at recess. All data populates a Google spreadsheet. Continue reading "Power of Student Voice"

I thought about putting a cache in one of the dark reed caves, but I suspect kids go all the way in and would be sure to find a treasure cache, so I have just made it a virtual cache.
I discovered this site while cruising the area parks looking for a good cache spot. There is a large park nearby that would be great for a picnic and a walk along the river, but the trails aren't anything like in the American River, Sacramento area and are quite limited for cache hunting away from public scrutiny.
When you find the cache, you need to email me with the answers to these questions before you can post your find.
What color is the 5 foot diameter outlet flap?
What 8 letter word is on the 5 foot diameter outlet flap?
How many pipes are above the 5 foot flap?

Social activist Anna Hazare has accused Prime Minister Manmohan Singh of "betrayal" on the Jan Lokpal bill and warned on Sunday of another protest if it was not passed before the 2014 general election.
Addressing supporters after inaugurating his new office here, Hazare said: "If Jan Lokpal bill is not passed before the 2014 elections, we will hold another rally at Ramlila Maidan."
The septuagenarian said Manmohan Singh had betrayed him by not fulfilling his pledge to pass the anti-corruption bill in Parliament.

Lakeview Christian Center New Orleans, Louisiana
Lakeview Christian Center was a victim of hurricane Katrina. The existing facility could not be salvaged and did not have the characteristics common to authentic, original New Orleans design of which the church was so proud. Due to site limitations they could not build a "phased" church. Working in the city of New Orleans was challenging at times, but the church was able to open its doors to the community in the fall of 2008.
