Game Console Ideas #2 - Dylan R. E. Moonfire

So, continuing my ideas for a game console. Today, I want to get out the ideas I had for hardware. Hardware is actually the hardest bit, if I ever want to implement these ideas. Mainly because I don?t want to force someone to get a specific CPU, a specific graphics card, a specific motherboard.

(Side note: One reason I?m letting my mind get distracted by this is because I?m at a point where I can?t really focus on the novel. I have to write the things in my head, not come up with new ones.)

My idea is that all the consoles would use off-the-shelf hardware. The PS3 has the Cell processor, which is very interesting, but the technology curve on normal computers improves at a faster rate and is cheaper because of consumer quantities. I?d rather go with AMD processors and known GPU that a custom processor. Plus, the whole idea of being hackable and improvable is making it easy.

However, this flexibility is also going to break the idea of consistency. So, I think that if there is a standard, it would be the minimum requirement. I?m thinking of saying a single quad-core AMD processor. That means that any console that conforms to OGC 1 would have a minimum of 4 cores and a AMD. Game developers can work with that minimum and know that it will work on every machine.

The same with graphics card. Fortunately, there are a lot more standards to work with. We can say OpenGL 1.3, a specific set of extensions, a certain support of OpenCL, etc. Again, it works with the idea that they can program for a specific hardware and it is responsibility of the console maker (assuming that people are going to build their own) has to conform to a specific set of standards.

I?d also go with a 10/100/1000 network, USB and SDHC cards. I wouldn?t go with a CD, DVD, or BluRay drive because I?m trying to avoid moving parts. Plus, a SDHC is cheap, reusuable, supports read and writing, and goes up to 32 GB capacity. I?d also require Bluetooth. That way, we can steal controllers from other systems and hackers can build controllers that work for them and maybe get those nifty head-mounted controllers or controllers that work with people that have disabilities (I recently read about a guy who made controllers for paraplegics and quadriplegics).

For drives, I think two drives would be good. A relatively small, 16 GB SSD drive and a 1 TB data drive. Games would be installed on the TB drive and the operating system on the first. The sizes are less important on the data drive. My PS3 only has a few GB and most of the Xbox 360s are in that range. (The difference between my MythTV and the commerical DVRs was much of the same: 1 TB verses 30 GB.)

This would also lead into OGC 2. If the standard requirements of OGC 2 are based on OGC 1, then all OGC 1 games would be compatible with the newer platform. This is a selling point of the PS2 and PS3 (gen 1 and 2 only) and handles one of my complaints.

Costa Rica Retirement: Goodbye Tension, Hello Pension!

We have lived our lives to the fullest and now we are ready to settle down, relax and enjoy life at a slightly slower pace. This is why we plan so scrupulously when considering our retirement future. However, undoubtedly things can get a little confusing when pondering retirement in another country.

It?s really not as complex and you might think.

Costa Rica retirement has always remained at the top of the leader board for desirable retirement destinations in the world. The small Central American country is known for their peaceful demeanor and quality healthcare system. Costa Rica has been called everything from the Switzerland of Latin America to the Hawaii of Central America.

Seniors are reportedly saving up to 75% on their monthly expenditures by living in this lush, vibrant climate filled with dense rain forests and lavish white sand strewn beaches. But what do they know that we do not? And is this all marketing hype without much substance?

It has been said that there are a few hundred thousand expats living in Costa Rica ? how is it possible that so many people could be so wrong?

How often do you walk down the road and someone walking by says to you, ?Pure life my friend.? You are more likely to receive an anti-war pamphlet or a quick shove and a glancing glare from a passer by.

In Costa Rica the most commonly used phrase is: Pura Vida

Directly translated this means ?pure life?. This phrase sums up the life one could expect living in Costa Rica. The people are cordial and polite, inviting and accommodating, and best of all?appreciative of expat communities. Don?t speak Spanish? That?s ok too because more often than not Ticos (Costa Ricans) will likely try their best to communicate with you given you are supportive of the patience required when communicating in any foreign language.

The advantages are innumerable: you can be free of the stresses of daily life that often overwhelm us. You can rest comfortably knowing that top-quality healthcare is available to you at a moments notice. Live TAX FREE as expats can retire in Costa Rica while enjoying their pensions without the burden of taxes being siphoned from their already minimal income. For arthritis sufferers there is good news also: many report alleviation of their pains due to the temperate climates throughout the country. Most importantly?what would you pay to turn back the clock? In Costa Rica one can relive their youth back to the days of bakeries, butchers, home-made furniture and crafts and even farmers markets for all your fresh exotic fruit and vegetables. When was the last time you went to the bakery for a loaf of fresh baked bread?

Unfortunately, before we can begin to enjoy our new life we must first weave our way through the labyrinth of options including, but not exclusive to: 401(a), 403(b), 401(k), 457, SEP IRAs and SIMPLE. Simple? You?ve got to be kidding me? These so-called retirement options sound more like jet liners than anything else. So we will leave that aspect up to the professional money managers because this is beyond the scope of this article.

Returning to what makes Costa Rica retirement so desirable?

Located a short 9 degrees off the equator sits Costa Rica. Roughly estimated at a population of some 4.5 million, Costa Rican people are famous for their outlook on life and laid back approach to life in general. National Geographic has said that there are areas of the country that contain 5% of the world?s flora and fauna and also features more designated and protected park lands than any other country in the world.

In summary there are clearly many benefits to consider yet for the better part, the #1 most important piece of advise anyone could give would be?COME SEE FOR YOURSELF?then maybe you will understand clearer why Costa Rica retirement is being so heavily talked about.

Who knows?you might not want to go back!

* for more information on retirement in Costa Rica, please visit http://www.sunranchcostarica.com/

Sun Ranch in Guanacaste is a premium Costa Rica retirement community located a short 2kms from the Liberia International airport.

Offering onsite full service Hospital Clinica Biblica, Robert Trent Jones II professional golf course, branded hotels and the plethora of other services and amenities, Sun Ranch is looking to change the Costa Rica retirement and medical tourism landscape forever.

The importance of Human Resources Management (HRM) in modern ...

25/06/2011

organizational psychology is that successful companies do not owe their success solely on market conditions and create sustainable competitive advantages. Actually there are many more. Successful companies are those who look to their human capital as their most important asset. Facts and figures are the quantitative elements of successful management, but the quality, ie the cognitive aspects, are the ones that actually make or break an organization.

Human Resources Management (HRM) is the strategic management of employees, individually and collectively contribute to achieving the strategic goals of the organization. Provided that the employees of an organization individuals with their own mental maps and perceptions, their own goals and its own personality and as such they can not be perceived as a whole, holds HRM that the organization should be able to both individual and group teaching psychology , committed to employ the employees for the achievement of corporate objectives. Aiming to enable the organization meet its strategic goals by attracting, retaining and developing employees, HRM functions as a liaison between the organization and its employees. A business should first realize the needs of employees and at a later date, to understand and evaluate these needs in order to feel its staff to work as part of their personal life and not as a routine obligation. To this end, HRM is very crucial for the function of an organization because it supports the organization to loyal employees who are willing to do their best. offer are creating the HRM activities

in modern organizations are usually in conjunction with the general management carried out in an effort to a variety of views when a decision must be made. In this way the decision is not the individual perceptions of the HR or the General Manager, but it is the result of strategic consensus.

The main objectives / tasks of HRM are: keep

It plays an important role in clarifying the organizational problems and solutions, and the employees work more efficiently.

On the other side do not set challenges for HRM. Modern organizations can survive in dynamic, competitive environment of today only if they use the full potential of every employee. Unfortunately, many companies have not understood the importance of human capital in successful operations. The recruitment and selection of the best employees is a difficult duty. Even companies that are selected in the top ten places to get at work, often endure long to recognize hard work, that human element is all an organization will need. New challenges arise even today for the organization, and it is certain that new challenges will never cease to occur. Therefore, the use of human resources is the correct techniques a really powerful way for organizations to meet these challenges and improve not only their quantitative targets, but also their corporate culture and its quality, cognitive aspects.

But The President Says We?re Not Engaged In Hostilities In Libya

Two short news items that seem to stand in contradiction to the Obama Administration?s legal justification for why the War Powers Act doesn?t apply to our mission in Libya.

First, the Pentagon has decided that the troops serving in the area, most of whom are apparently on board ship, are entitled to extra pay:

The Defense Department decided in April to pay an extra $225 a month in ?imminent danger pay? to service members who fly planes over Libya or serve on ships within 110 nautical miles of its shores.

That means the Pentagon has decided that troops in those places are ?subject to the threat of physical harm or imminent danger because of civil insurrection, civil war, terrorism or wartime conditions.? There are no U.S. ground troops in Libya.

Second, the New York Times reports that American involvement in the war has not been limited to support and unmanned drones after all:

WASHINGTON ? Since the United States handed control of the air war in Libya to NATO in early April, American warplanes have struck at Libyan air defenses about 60 times, and remotely operated drones have fired missiles at Libyan forces about 30 times, according to military officials.

The most recent strike from a piloted United States aircraft was on Saturday, and the most recent strike from an American drone was on Wednesday, the officials said.

While the Obama administration has regularly acknowledged that American forces have continued to take part in some of the strike sorties, few details about their scope and frequency have been made public.

The unclassified portion of material about Libya that the White House sent to Congress last week, for example, said ?American strikes are limited to the suppression of enemy air defense and occasional strikes by unmanned Predator? drones, but included no numbers for such strikes.

The disclosure of such details could add texture to an unfolding debate about the merits of the Obama administration?s legal argument that it does not need Congressional authorization to continue the mission because United States forces are not engaged in ?hostilities? within the meaning of the War Powers Resolution.

It is worthwhile, once again, to reference the relevant section of the War Powers Act, which states that it is applicable when American military force is introduced:

(1) into hostilities or into situations where imminent involvement in hostilities is clearly indicated by the circumstances;

(2) into the territory, airspace or waters of a foreign nation, while equipped for combat, except for deployments which relate solely to supply, replacement, repair, or training of such forces; or

(3) in numbers which substantially enlarge United States Armed Forces equipped for combat already located in a foreign nation;

The Pentagon thinks that the situation in Libya is dangerous enough to qualify soldiers participating in the mission for hazard pay. We are engaging in manned and unmanned bombing runs over Libya territory. The Obama Administration?s assertion that neither subjection (1) nor (2) above applies is absurd and insulting to the intelligence of the American people.

Leann Reynolds: Tips For Bringing A Loved One Home From The Hospital

Your mother is coming home from the hospital after her knee surgery or other surgical procedure and you expect to be able to help her out as she recovers -- and still go to work, get the kids to school or day camp; maybe even see your significant other for dinner. It's time for a reality check -- and hospital discharge plan -- because caring for someone after a hospital stay can be a huge task. There is much (much) more to successful at-home recovery than ordering Netflix and stocking up on takeout food menus.

Remember all that planning you and your parent did before she went into the hospital? It should be the same thing in reverse for when she comes home, except there will be no staff of trained professionals there to greet and reassure you both when you arrive.

"Often we know that family caregivers are not fully prepared to take on the full amount of work that needs to be done when helping a family member recover from a hospital stay," said Paul Sauer, CEO and founder of Homewatch CareGivers, an in-home caregiving agency with locations in 35 states. "The family caregiver can become very frustrated with the realization that the recovery process is going to take more time than they had prepared for, especially when it means taking time off work."

What can make the difference, as well as lower hospital readmission rates and costs, is to have adequate home care lined up before leaving the hospital in the first place.

"Everyone's needs are unique, but we're here to help -- from running errands and preparing meals to medication assistance and personal hygiene," Mr. Sauer said. "Using a full-service home care agency will ensure that your loved one is cared for with all the services they need."

People are given explicit instructions upon leaving the hospital after having any kind of procedure -- from medication dosages to physical rehabilitation and much more -- with the expectation that they will follow these instructions and heal healthfully.

"What happens very frequently is that patients are given so much information over the course of their stay that they can't process all of it," said Deborah Tackett, an acute care manager at Denver Health Medical Center. "When they get home, they don't have that backup -- there isn't that nurse there to encourage them."

The result is panic, injury, medication mishaps, even malnutrition and dehydration -- all of which lead to readmission to the hospital for the patient.

"Then we have to start all over again," said Ms. Tackett.

A pilot program with the Colorado Foundation for Medical Care showed that 30-day readmission was reduced by nine percent after care transition was introduced. Noting that patient care transitions are increasingly problematic, and that older patients with chronic illnesses often need care from a variety of practitioners in different locations, the program sought to close the gaps in care.

"We found many specific root causes of readmissions and poor transitions," said Risa Hayes, project manager for Northwest Denver Medicare Care Transitions. These causes included an "unreliable information transfer and lack of support for activation of patients and their families."

The pilot program -- which highlights the use of care transition coaches -- is expected to become national this summer.

"The purpose of the coach is different from a caregiver," said Ms. Hayes. "Their primary mission is to work with the patient, their family members, neighbors or caregivers." With coaching, Ms. Hayes estimates that hospital readmissions can be lowered by 50 percent.

What experts often see is that people are focused on the big picture -- having surgery and follow-up medical care -- and not the daily routines.

"What they forget are the basic body functions," said Hilarea Amphauer, a nurse and transitions coach at Exempla Lutheran Center in Wheatridge, Colo. "Like getting up and out of a chair, getting in and out of their bathtub, and then pain management. If it's a new medication, knowing the side effects and how to take it." Ms. Amphauer's job also includes a home visit to best assess the patient's success and needs.

When planning for a hospital stay, plan for the homecoming at the same time. Think ahead to who can -- not only run a warm bath -- but help your mother in and out of the bathtub, who has time for a nice long chat in the middle of the day with her and other ways that your loved one can get back on his or her feet again as soon as possible. This requires anticipating the extra help needed when someone is discharged from the hospital.

Clean energy firms coming to San Antonio

CPS Energy CEO Doyle Beneby is expected to announce Monday the relocation of several clean energy-related companies to San Antonio, bringing hundreds of good paying jobs and establishing a firm toe-hold in the ?new energy economy? that Mayor Juli?n Castro has been pushing since he was first elected.

Beneby said that together, the companies could bring as many as 800 to 1,000 jobs to the Alamo City by 2015, in areas as diverse as LED lighting, electric vehicles, solar-panel assembly or manufacturing, cleaner-coal technology and home-area networks, which work with smart meters to reduce consumer and utility electricity demand.

The companies have also agreed to make additional investments in local education and research and development, Beneby said Thursday in a briefing to the San Antonio Express-News editorial board.

The formal announcement, planned for Monday afternoon, could also include naming the consortium of companies that bid successfully for the right to build another 50 megawatts of solar in San Antonio. The short list had been whittled down to the final two as of last week, Beneby said.

That contract is also expected to include an economic-development component, likely a solar manufacturing or assembly plant to be located here, as well as additional investments in education, research and development.

Beneby also will likely confirm what he's hinted at for months: that the utility will mothball its two oldest coal plants by 2018, freeing up resources to add cleaner sources of electricity to CPS' current mix. To offset some of that loss, CPS is planning its first investment in a cleaner coal technology.

Clean energy goals

Buzz over the announcement has been building in recent weeks as Beneby has briefed various interested groups; more than 400 people have RSVP'd to Monday's event, which CPS hopes will attract national attention. Last week, he and Castro laid out the utility's plans to U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu in Washington, D.C.

The CEO's strategy to leverage CPS' size and status as a publicly-owned utility to attract clean-energy jobs aligns with both the utility's Board of Trustees' Vision 2020, which lays out the utility's path to a lower carbon and more sustainable energy future, and Castro's SA2020, which calls for increased economic competitiveness while embracing sustainability.

?We have an inherent advantage that CPS has not always exploited,? said Beneby, who will mark his first year at the utility in August.

CPS is also a vertically integrated utility ? it owns its own power plants, poles and wires, unlike for-profit utilities like Exelon, where Beneby worked for many years. That means it can ?extract value,? as he put it, at all points within the utility.

Beneby put companies interested in working with CPS on notice last January when he said he'd be asking them, ?What's in it for San Antonio??

From the companies' perspective, the potential to gain access to more than 700,000 CPS customers, plus the many small muni-owned utilities and cooperatives that CPS partners with, was a big draw.

?These businesses want to work with CPS,? he said. ?We have something they want.?

Castro expressed a barely contained glee at the pending announcements.

?I have a feeling that Monday will be my favorite day so far as mayor of San Antonio,? he told the editorial board.

Investing in cleaner coal

Castro's efforts to turn San Antonio into a clean-energy hub have always been one of his top priorities. The goals in SA2020 built on Mission Verde, former Mayor Phil Hardberger's sustainability plan, and CPS' commitment to reducing electricity demand by enough to avoid building a new power plant.

The mayor also hailed the increasingly close collaboration between the utility, the city and the University of Texas at San Antonio. CPS last year pledged $50 million over the next decade for the creation of UTSA's Sustainable Energy Research Institute, which will pursue advances in areas including solar integration, energy efficiency and carbon management.

?This is business, academia and government working together to create prosperity for the region,? Castro said.

Castro also sees Monday's announcement as the culmination of CPS' transformation from a stolid, traditional utility that boasted low rates, but also suffered from a lack of leadership and community support, into a utility that is helping lead the city toward ?a new level of prosperity.?

?What you see here today is the full turnaround of CPS,? he said. ?A very well run, efficient organization with bold aspirations and the ability to deliver on those aspirations for the entire city.?

That turnaround will now include the challenge of replacing about 850 megawatts of dirty coal with cleaner alternatives, including natural gas, renewables and so-called ?clean coal.?

CPS' first investment in cleaner-coal technology comes with an agreement to buy 200 megawatts of power for 25 years from the Texas Clean Energy Project, a 400-megawatt coal gasification plant to be built outside of Odessa.

Currently in development by Summit Energy, TCEP will capture up to 90 percent of the carbon it produces and sell it to the oil industry, which it pumps into the ground to help squeeze out the oil. The plant will also produce and sell urea-based fertilizer.

Shuttering coal plants that are producing abundant and cheap, albeit dirty, power, is unheard of in the industry, Beneby said.

?No one else is doing it.?

But with stricter Environmental Protection Agency regulations in the offing against the pollutants belched out by the nation's coal plants, Beneby believes it makes more economic sense to shut them down rather than spend upwards of $550 million for the necessary pollution control upgrades.

That savings will be used to buy lower sulfur coal for the utility's remaining coal plants, which reduces emissions, and for the increased investments in solar power. Vision 2020 directs the utility to produce 20 percent of its peak power demand with renewables by 2020.

CPS already ranks number one in wind-energy capacity among municipally-owned utilities, and number one in Texas in the amount of solar-generated electricity under contract. That includes the 14 megawatts it buys from Blue Wing, a solar farm located in southeast Bexar County.

New energy economy

Adding to its solar portfolio, Beneby announced in January that CPS would pursue ?big solar? and seek proposals to build an additional 50 megawatts of solar power.

That request for proposals generated interest and bids from companies around the world, and comes on the heels of a deal CPS inked last year for 30 megawatts of solar, to be built and managed by SunEdison. One megawatt can power roughly 200 homes.

That deal was the first in which Beneby successfully coupled additional renewable generation with economic development.

In addition to building three, 10 megawatt solar farms and selling the power to CPS, SunEdison has agreed to open a regional office in San Antonio with at least a half-dozen permanent jobs in addition to roughly 30 temporary construction jobs.

The company also will invest $300,000 to build a renewable energy education center for 2nd-through 9th-graders, and another $300,000 toward research and development at UTSA.

That model, of requiring permanent jobs, educational and R&D investments as a condition for doing business with CPS, will help put San Antonio on the clean energy map, Castro believes.

?This is the nexus between sustainability and economic development,? he said. ?Nobody owns the new energy economy yet. It won't be Portland, it won't be Austin. It will be San Antonio.?

POLITICAL PARTIES NEED IMAGE BRANDING

By KWANCHAI RUNGFAPAISARN,
WATCHIRANONT THONGTEP
THE NATION
Published on June 13, 2011

They believe that most parties are offering short-term "promotions" with the main purpose of winning votes from low and middle-income earners who form the majority of the voting public, rather than building long-lasting brand awareness.

"With some progress in the development of brand identity and colour scheme, I still don't see political parties and leaders saying how their 'brands' and 'product' are qualified and how they can be good for people and the country," Dan Zonmani, managing director of Far East DDB, explained.

He added that party leaders, who represent the brand, were only launching short-term promotions instead of the brand itself. The best examples of this are the short-term populist policies designed specifically to attract votes and offer immediate benefits rather than long-term vision in managing the country.

"In my point of view, none of the parties are applying communications and brand-building strategies. They have overlooked many factors such as brand positioning, brand essence and core value," Zonmani said.

Short-term promotions are only attractive to voters in the rural parts of the country. High-income earners, such as business owners, would select parties that have long-term visions and leaders who are capable and able to represent the country at international events and forums.

Kitti Chambundabongse, chairman of Spa-Hakuhodo, said that the upcoming election was simply a battle of two brands, two clones, two personalities, two genders, two classes and two parties singing the same tune, promising voters "I'll do anything for you".

"I've never seen the streets filled with so many hoardings and posters and the social media and newspapers buzzing with gossip and stories about one of the most dramatic elections," Kitti said.

Kitti said that apart from the newly branded parties and new faces, the landscape of communication strategies and media channels remained the same.

"The only difference is that competition on the streets for a piece of the pie is very fierce, active and even brutal in some cases," Kitti said.

Witawat Jayapani, CEO of Creative Juice/G1, said that among political parties offering populist policies, the Pheu Thai Party remained popular among staunch supporters of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra, while the Democrat Party was trying its best to reach the grassroots level.

"There is no colour in the ongoing political campaigns in terms of creative marketing ideas because every political party is offering populist policies. Also, the Election Com-|mission does not allow political parties to communicate with voters via the broadcasting media," he said.

Witawat said most political parties were using traditional communications methods to reach their voters, adding that direct marketing or meeting voters would be far more effective.

Danai Chanchaochai, CEO of DC Consul-tants and Marketing Communications, said both Pheu Thai and Democrat parties had given more significance to branding by using the party leader to present its populist strategies.

He explained that one of the very positive short-term outcomes of this relatively corporate and branded election campaign is that it provides an image of stability, something foreign investors will be looking for no matter which party wins.

Also, populist policies and promises from both leading parties of massive investments in infrastructure and job creation further creates an attractive environment for FDI (foreign direct investment), which will give Thailand a competitive advantage over its neighbours like Vietnam and China.

Danai said the Democrat Party was using social media to reach young and first-time voters, as well as those who are still undecided. A recent study showed that there are about 9 million voters who are still undecided.

Glencore shares slide as FTSE rallies (AFP)

LONDON (AFP) ? Stocks closed higher on Tuesday, as investors reacted positively to stable British inflation data.

"The FTSE 100 traded back around the 5,800 level on Tuesday, supported by heavyweight mining shares, whilst UK inflation held steady at 4.5 percent, applying less pressure on the Bank of England to raise interest rates," said Joshua Raymond, chief market strategist at City Index traders.

Twelve-month inflation stood at 4.5 percent in May, unchanged from the level in April but nevertheless at the highest level for more than two-and-a-half years, official data showed.

The benchmark FTSE 100 index of top shares closed up 0.51 percent at 5,803.13 points.

Lloyds was the most widely traded stock of the day, with 144 million shares changing hands, followed by Vodafone, which saw 84.7 million units switch owners.

Broadcaster ITV was the best blue-chip performer, rising 4.36 percent (2.85 pence) to finish at 68.2. It was followed by asset management firm Schroders, which rose 3.93 percent (60 pence) to finish at 1,586.

Glencore slid the most, shedding 4.47 percent (23.4 pence) to finish at 500.

The commodities giant had announced earlier that first quarter net profits soared 47 percent to ?792 million, boosted by strong demand for energy and metals. Revenues reached ?27 billion, up 39 percent compared to the same period last year.

Glencore was followed by mining group Xstrata, which slipped 3.07 percent (41 pence) to finish at 1,293.

On the currency markets, a pound was worth 1.6385 dollars or 1.1321 euros at 16.57 GMT.

Congress returns to work; Weiner goes to treatment (AP)

WASHINGTON ? Congress returns to work on Monday, but at least one lawmaker won't be there.

Rep. Anthony Weiner starts this week on a temporary leave of absence, in treatment for an undisclosed disorder at an undisclosed location. He spent most of last week embroiled in a sexting scandal.

Weiner has acknowledged exchanging messages and photos that ranged from sexually suggestive to explicit, with several women online. The latest to surface appeared on the gossip website TMZ.

Meanwhile, the No. 2 House Democrat spoke of Weiner's "bizarre and unacceptable behavior" in sending the inappropriate pictures of himself. Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland said it would be "extraordinarily difficult" for Weiner to be effective in Congress.

And the Republican Party chairman criticized Democratic leaders for not taking a more forceful stand earlier on the affair.

The photos posted Sunday were purportedly taken in the House members' gym and show a shirtless Weiner with a towel around his waist and his hand on his crotch. TMZ said the photos were sent online to at least one woman.

In New York, foes and supporters of Weiner confronted each other.

"He's not fit to be our congressman," said Jim Scott, 61, one of about two dozen constituents who rallied in front of Weiner's office in the Kew Gardens section of Queens. "People are sick of him, especially his attitude."

Half a dozen Weiner supporters gathered a few yards away. College student Olivia Lurrie, 18, said Weiner was a good leader who made a mistake.

Weiner announced Saturday that he was entering professional treatment at an undisclosed location and wanted a leave of absence from Congress. A statement from an aide did not say where he would receive treatment or what type was involved.

That announcement came right after House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi of California and Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the national party head, said Weiner must go.

Weiner said at a news conference last Monday that he had lied, previously saying that he had not sent any photos. Pelosi immediately called for an ethics committee investigation. But it was not until the weekend that leaders said he should step down.

Hoyer said the ethics committee process to decide whether Weiner had committed an expellable offense would take time and "I really don't know if we have that time." He said he didn't see how Weiner could stay in office.

Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., said Weiner should resign. "We've got important work to do and this is a ridiculous distraction," he said in an appearance with Hoyer on "Face the Nation" on CBS.

Lawmakers marching Sunday in New York's Puerto Rican Day parade were less demanding. "I think it could have been handled better," Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., said when asked whether he stood with Pelosi in calling for Weiner's resignation.

Rangel, who was censured by the House last year for ethics violations, was also asked if he thought it was a good idea for Weiner to take time off to enter treatment.

"He is the one that knows the best, he and his wife," Rangel responded.

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., declined to comment any further, saying, "Those of us who have been longtime friends of Anthony are heartbroken, and I'm just going to try to enjoy the parade today."

On NBC's "Meet the Press," Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus criticized Pelosi and other Democrats for not acting sooner.

"It seemed to me that for the first 10 days in this circus ... the only job that Nancy Pelosi was interested in saving was Anthony Weiner's," he said.

That drew a sharp retort from Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., who accused Republicans of a double standard.

She said that Republican leaders didn't call for the resignation of Sen. David Vitter, R-La., when he got caught up in a prostitution scandal, and that Priebus had not publicly sought the resignation of former Sen. John Ensign, R-Nev., who stepped down this year over an affair with a staffer's wife.

Wasserman Schultz said party officials initially gave Weiner "some breathing room" to reach the conclusion that he needed to step down on his own, but decided to toughen their stance Saturday after it became apparent he would not do so.

Broadband Scenario in Corporate India

BANGALORE, INDIA.

Evaluate this:

The contribution to the growth of national output in the form of labor productivity improvement of existing workforce due to ubiquitous broadband deployment in India is estimated at an approximate 50bn USD for the period 2010-2020 (Source: Deptt of IT and Deptt of Telecom Ministry of Communication & Information Technology, Govt of India and CII). In other words, high speed access to information and web-based communication can make a huge difference in your enterprise workforce efficiency, which in turn impacts your business economics. But today, simply having broadband connectivity is not enough.


What good is ample bandwidth if there aren't enough applications to leverage it effectively? Today, there is a surge in the number of applications that can be used over broadband. You need sufficient bandwidth to be able to use them. For that, you need the right broadband connectivity provider, who can support you in your future growth plans. PCQuest did a survey of mid to large enterprises in the country to find out the most popular broadband connectivity providers in India, why they're popular or not so popular, etc.


We tried to determine the average bandwidth being used by organizations in India, and for which applications. We also try and determine what they're likely to use their connectivity for in the future and whether their existing bandwidth would be able to handle the additional workload or not.

Also read: Tech Challenges and Opportunities of Mid to Large Indian Enterprises

Most Popular Broadband Service Providers:

Bharti and BSNL emerged as the top two broadband connectivity providers, being used by a majority of the respondents. While 25% of the respondents said they were using Bharti's broadband, 23% said they were on BSNL. The other broadband players being used include Reliance Infocomm, VSNL/Tata, MTNL, Satyam/Sify and Hathway. Besides these service providers, HCL Infinet, In2Cable, SpectraNet, and YouTelecom were also being used by some of the respondents, though their numbers were very low as compared to others.
Another interesting trend here is that organizations aren't just using a single broadband service provider. Here again, there were no surprises, and the major players were being used.

Satisfaction gauge of Broadband Service Providers

For many of our survey respondents, their current broadband service provider wasn't their first. Nearly 80% of them were using another service provider before they moved to the current one, which is a very high percentage. The percentage of people who were using a particular service provider earlier could serve as its popularity indicator. Of the total shift-out that has occurred from previous service providers to the current, 20% falls under BSNL while service providers like Bharti/Airtel/Touchtel and Reliance have a minimal 6% and 7% for the same. On the other hand, service providers like HCL, Infinet, In2cable, Spectra Net and You Telecom are not being used by any of our survey respondents. There are obviously reasons for having shifted broadband service providers.

Lady Gaga sings for gay rights in Pope's back yard (Reuters)

ROME (Reuters) ? Pop queen Lady Gaga concluded a huge European gay rights march in Rome on Saturday night with a rousing call to governments to defend gay rights.

"Today and every day we fight for freedom. We fight for justice. We beckon for compassion, understanding and above all we want full equality now," she shouted to a crowd of several hundred thousand people at the Italian capital's ancient Circus Maximus.

"We have the same DNA. We were just 'born this way'," she said, using the title of her latest hit album.

Sporting dyed green hair and an outfit by the late fashion designer Gianni Versace, she said she was "angry" and singled out several governments in Europe and the Middle East she said discriminated against gays.

"I am aware that many countries and governments worldwide still restrict their citizens from reading about LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) issues and this is what means the most to me in my career. I want all of your stories to be heard by the world," she said.

She mentioned Russia, Poland, Lithuania, Hungary and Lebanon.

"We stand here to demand an end to intolerance," she shouted before accompanying herself on a grand piano in acoustic renditions of some of her songs.

Rome officials had feared that she would launch a direct attack on Pope Benedict and the Vatican over their stand against homosexual acts but she did not mention either.

She merely said she was respectful of religion but that religions had to acknowledge and accept the diversity of people.

Her latest album, "Born This Way," rocketed to the top of the U.S. and British charts earlier this month.

Researchers Trap Antimatter For Record 16 Minutes

To learn about antimatter, you have to catch it first. In November, researchers did just that - for less than a second. Now, they've been able to trap antihydrogen for a record 16 minutes. Physicist Jeffrey Hangst discusses what his team hopes to learn by studying the elusive substance.

Get Up and Go This Weekend: Outdoor Sports For One ?

Look into an active outdoor sport that can be done in your area, such as mountain biking, kayaking, or trail running. They can be great alternatives to team sports if you want to get some solo exercise or are looking for something new.

Are any other teens or young adults you know doing an activity you?re interested in? Ask whether they can show you the ropes. (If the sport you?re interested in is rock climbing, for instance, they might literally show you how to use the ropes, harnesses, helmets, and other necessary equipment! Keep in mind, however, that although you can go to a climbing center on your own to learn this activity, never go rock climbing outside by yourself.) Look into lessons on these activities and others at a community center, Boys & Girls Club, YMCA, or parks and recreation department summer program.

Or are you the expert? See whether you can share your knowledge with others by teaching a class!

Your hosting support your online marketing initiatives? | Firewall ...

Does your web host support your online marketing initiatives?

Most online entrepreneurs opt for a web host mainly on the basis of the recommendation given by the Web services business. To make your decision, you must ensure that your choice of host does not have a negative impact on your interactive marketing strategies.

So how do you make your choice? One of the most important factors you should consider is the tools and services that the web host supports or does not support. To find out what kind of statistics or web analytics services offers to host. A number of small-time web hosting companies offer statistics freeware in the name of testing services, which means you?ll pay a third party to obtain the desired data package for your website. But a good hosting company still has strategic relationships with some of the best web analytics vendors who can provide their customers powerful tools for site analysis as part of their hosting packages.

If you are an ecommerce business, your host has a key role to play in the functioning of your applications. Many hosting companies offer e-commerce software with their package. You should know if you?ll be able to sell your products online using the solution they propose. If not, at least ensure that the host will support e-commerce solution of choice because many applications require specialized facilities.

If you want to conduct business online marketing a lot, you need a delivery system consistent and reliable email. It is therefore essential for you to make sure that your host is able to struggle mightily against spammers and filter your important emails per hour. There have been many instances where e-mail from IP ranges or hosting companies in particular have got stuck because they do not follow an anti-spamming. This can have disastrous consequences on your online marketing campaign.

Another very critical that you have to deal if the server availability guaranteed by your host. While a few minutes here and there a negative impact on your business over the Internet, the real impact is felt if there is significant downtime. Your site is not available online for hours leads to loss of significant revenue and tarnish the image of your company. Therefore, when you register for a Web hosting company, make sure to get an uptime guarantee of 99.9%.

Choosing a hosting company is more complicated than making a comparative analysis capabilities such as disk space, bandwidth and price. Your decision will have a major impact on your internet marketing initiatives. Therefore, choose a reliable web hosting company as Aussie web host, name of prime minister in hosting websites

Bowling Lane Etiquette Is Important | Article Consortium

It?s gained a reputation of being a recreation for the these with out class and manners, but the truth is bowling is an an ancient sport that carries with it fairly a few rules about proper behavior. These rules are taken very seriously by those who frequent the alleys, so it is an excellent idea for rookies to be taught a bit about the sport and its anticipated bowling lane etiquette.

Bowling itself dates back 1000?s of years into the history of man. It?s believed that bowling pre-dates written history. As the years marched forward, so did the game and together with it the rules of the road. From historic man and the courts of English kings to local alleys in cities everywhere in the world, bowling alley etiquette has advanced into what gamers of in the present day expect.

Learning easy methods to behave on the lanes is as a lot an necessary a part of the game as figuring out find out how to rating correctly. There are some major dos and don?ts with regards to bowling lane etiquette. They embody:

Do?s * Get the correct gear. It?s thought-about a major breach of bowling lane etiquette to wear street footwear on the lanes. Make sure to have on the proper shoes. Get rentals if you do not have your own. Street shoes can injury the lanes and disrupt the oil pattern on them (not to mention the very fact many aren?t designed to deal with the slick floor).

* Observe right of way. This is maybe the number one rule of bowling lane etiquette. The general rule of play is to allow the bowler to the fitting of your lane to go first when you both arrive at the same time. This helps be sure that focus isn?t interrupted by two folks making an attempt to bowl simultaneously.

* Use common courtesy. Bowling is a recreation that many individuals take very seriously. Maintain common courtesy and politeness in the entrance of your mind.

Don?ts * Interrupt bowlers. It is thought of a critical breach of bowling lane etiquette to speak to bowlers when they?re attempting to make a shot. Let the person who has the lane concentrate.

* Heckle. While it may be enjoyable to choose on a friend who has bowled a nasty frame, it?s considered very impolite to take action, especially in league play. Remember common courtesy and this bowling lane rule will make excellent sense.

* Cheat. This can be a critical breach of bowling lane etiquette and one thing that simply shouldn?t be done. Maintain the game clear and fun and let the pins and the score fall the place they may. Whereas it?s almost not possible to cheat with computerized scoring, some guide set ups still exist.

* Discuss too loud or yell. Rowdy teams on the lanes may cause issues for everybody within the vicinity. Have enjoyable, but attempt to hold the ruckus to a minimum.

Bowling is an historic sport that has evolved by means of the years. From ancient man and stone objects to trendy man and computerized scoring, the sport might have modified a bit, but the primary guidelines of the highway remain. The sport is supposed to be enjoyable and it does carry with it a necessity for good sporting conduct.

Link building is very important if you want your blog to rank with the top search engines and bring traffic to your website. However, hordes or bloggers think that they must utilize blackhat methods in order to get the best backlinks for their websites.

Regardless of whether you?re developing links to your russian visa application web site or any other internet site, you ought to focus on using whitehat strategies to obtain lengthy term results.

Sometimes really very good methods are overlooked by a lot of people, but the method is just great. Mini blogs have been used for years, but not by many people, and they simply provide backlinks and traffic to your primary blog. In order to get started with these blogs, you?ll have to write shorter articles for the same topic as your blog. Do not expect to be getting a high amount of page rank passed onto your main blog, though. So if you do decide to use the mini-blogs strategy, make sure they are hosted on another hosting account, and not where your original blog is hosted. You can use free services such as Blogger.com and other similar services for your mini blogs. Once that is done, then you can create more backlinks, but drive them to your individual mini blogs.

Interview a Popular Blogger: This is a smart way to get popular bloggers to link to your blog and give you link juice. You can go to these bloggers up front and request to do interview them and put it on your blog. When the interview has been published on your site, you can let them know that the link is available and ask that they link to it. Make sure the interview isn?t general. Only include questions that your readers will be interesting in getting answers for. This will allow you to make the blog post well liked and will instantly get links to other blogs. So this ensures that you are not just conducting an interview to get links, but it will also make other bloggers want to link to you. Everybody will get something in return. For example, let?s say you need to develop backlinks for your indian visa application website, you?ll be able to quickly do so employing this method.

Try Linkbaiting: If you have a blog, then linkbaiting will be a good way to get backlinks. But, if you are not an experienced blogger and have a readership, then it will require some time in order for your linkbait to take effect. You have to write attention grabbing posts and take the time to promote them. Go ahead and think out of the box. Write a post that total wows and is unique. Slide something shocking into your post. Make people aware of it. But do not reach out to popular bloggers after every post that you write.

The most important thing here is to realize that all of this does take time. It will take some time before you start seeing results, but you will thank yourself for being patient when you see your posts ranking high for your targeted keywords. Go ahead and commence applying these ideas right away to obtain boost your backlinks for your chinese consulate web site.
