Blenderite, its not working for me. When I put those files into the 'ttinstall' folder and unmount my touchpad, it says that the ROM file is an unsupported zip file.
One file named TPToolbox-2014-08-10-v41.zip
One file named gapps-kk-20140105-signed.zip
One file named update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612.zip
One file named update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip
If you have all those, make sure they all are complete downloads. If you do, try re-downloading the update-TWRP-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140612.zip one, which is the last link in step 2.

I had the same problem. The issue is that the update-CWM-jcs-dm-tenderloin-20140317.zip is missing the install package.Blenderite, its not working for me. When I put those files into the 'ttinstall' folder and unmount my touchpad, it says that the ROM file is an unsupported zip file.
I followed Slammin's instructions by replacing it with cm-11-20141125-SNAPSHOT-jcsullins-tenderloin.zip which will be about 180 mb (iirc). Here is the full list of Slammin's files that worked for me.
Turns out they changed the Toolbox slightly. I have updated the links to reflect the new sources.
Sorry for the confusion.

HP Touchpad 32
So it took me awhile to reinstall novacom but then
I followed the instructions using the links that were provided 2-1-2015
My mistakes were:
Make sure that you have it is bootie / restores mode NOT dev mode etc. etc...this took me awhile to figure out
and the results were the tp toolbox would not fire. Oh, and the tp toolbox must be, in my case, unzipped to fire, I could see the individual files but until i unzipped them it seemed to not fire.
gh too try this you must have some guts...
I followed the instructions on copying the other three files but....be sure to download those files ahead of time and copy the zip files into a easy to access (desktop) folder. I did not
When I came time to copy the files I made some errors. First, I downloaded the listed files but I did not copy them into the FOLDER as instructed I copied them into the touchpad icon. You musty do as instructed and copy them into the actual tp toolbox folder, otherwise when you fire off the install, the machine will say it cannot find the files....
Secondly, you copy the entire zip files (3 of them) TP toolbox looks for the zip files....I unziped the files and copied the results over and it was a **** storm as there were many files with same names etc. etc...needless to say it was a FAIL...
I had to reboot and start over which was surprisingly easy given how screwed up i got it....
But after finally folowing instructions and watching the thing fire up, I will say the HP Touchpad is a thing of beauty! IT works perfectly, it is fast, clean and I love the **** out of it!
I did take a lool at upgrading the OS to a more recent version but I am waiting on that until I get more sued to Android...
So thanks! I really appreciate this thread. Touchpad not dead, new life has been found and we are all happy in Denver!!
Aw, I dont have the HP touch pad, Freakin money money money

Check out my YouTube Channel to see gameplay!: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzo...xF6DlVGL23Ohcw
Even though this method has made my tablet much more worth having, there still is one teensy bit of a problem. You see ever since I installed android on my HP Touchpad, my battery dies down in seconds. So, blenderite, can you tell me how to remove webOS? (I USED DUAL BOOT)☺😊😀😁
Then restore the backup that you created, and you will be back to where you where, except without WebOS. Good luck!

Father of young Newtown shooting victim offered 30-day sentence in criminal charges
MILFORD -- The father of a child killed in December's shootings at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School has been offered a 30-day sentence to resolve criminal charges he has faced since 2011.
http://bit.ly/10umRGp">The News-Times of Danbury reports that Neil Heslin of Shelton has until July 9 to accept the plea deal.
Heslin's case involves motor vehicle charges and allegations he issued bad checks to purchase building materials for his construction company.
Judge Frank Iannotti on Wednesday noted that Heslin has made restitution. Under the deal, Heslin would plead guilty only to driving with a suspended license.
Heslin and his attorney, public defender Bruce Weiant, declined comment.
Heslin has become an outspoken advocate for gun control since his son, Jesse Lewis, and 25 others were killed in Newtown on Dec. 14.

This morning, Electronic Arts announced that it is developing a new online RTS game that will have PC players using virtual trading cards to command their armies. The game, Battleforge, is being developed by EA Phenomic, the studio behind the popular Spellforce strategy games.
At the moment, not much is known about how Battleforge will play, but it seems like it won't deviate too far from traditional online card games. While players won't have to buy cards to play the game, they will be able to buy and trade these virtual cards via a system of microtransactions.
Executive producer Richard Leinfellner told Shack News, "With co-op play, challenging tournaments, Guilds, chat rooms and a robust marketplace for trading and buying your cards, BattleForge is the first RTS to add integral social and community components to an exciting fantasy RTS." While online card-based RTS communities are certainly nothing new, it sounds as though EA might have some new community features up its sleeve that the company will discuss in the future.

Can Modern Weapons Conquer Ethiopia (Nov, 1935)
Can Modern Weapons Conquer Ethiopia
THE eternal battle between science and the elements will receive its supreme test in Italy's impending war with Ethiopia. Nature, which has enabled this oldest of kingdoms to maintain its independence against the inroads of the civilizing but exploiting white race, will be on the side of Haille Selassie's dusky warriors; and it is against nature that Mussolini's troops, armed with the latest death-dealing weapons, must pit themselves.
Italy already occupies two narrow strips of lowland bordering the Red Sea and Indian Ocean—Eritrea and Italian Somaliland. It took Italy seven years to conquer the former and twenty years to occupy the latter. The climate of both of these colonies is hot. They are steaming fever-ridden pest holes in the rainy season and almost waterless deserts in the dry. Of so little economic value are they that only 7,000 Italians reside there in normal times.
The highlands of Ethiopia, on the other hand, are fertile and temperate, and well suited to European habitation. Forming a barrier between the existing Italian colonies and the land Mussolini covets is, however, the Ogada district—an almost waterless, but rocky desert, 500 miles long and nearly 300 wide. This area is cut up with arroyos and crags, and is almost covered with a scraggly undergrowth so dense that it is seldom that vision can extend more than a quarter of a mile.
It is this vast Ogada desert, which Mussolini's troops must cross to obtain their objective, that has protected Ethiopia before, and upon which the warriors of the King of Kings expect to check the Italian hordes.
This country is absolutely without roads, railways, or water transportation, while every bush and rock can shelter a brown-clad Ethiopian. It was on this craggy plateau that Menelik massed 150,000 warriors to completely annihilate an Italian army of 12,000 at Adowa in 1896.
The Ethiopians are not organized as are European armies. Each tribal chieftain furnishes his own warriors upon call from Haille Selassie who can legitimately call himself the King of Kings because these minor kings accept him as their leader. Practically every man of the 3,000,000 Amharas is a fighter by choice and by habit, for the keeping of the seven million negroes and other lowland tribes in subjugation has given them continuous practice. These Amharas are of the Semetic race, closely allied to the Arabs and Riffs, long noted for their valor and love of independence. Every man has possessed firearms from his earliest childhood, and all are expert shots, with the frontierman's ability to find cover and to shoot only when every shot will be a hit. About 50,000 of the best of these have been trained in the use of modern weapons by Belgian officers.
The problem of supply for the Ethiopians will be minor. Operating in friendly territory, used to living on rations so meager that a European soldier would starve, eating his meat raw from choice, and with his women folks packing the few necessities on the family mule, the Ethiopian army will be absolutely independent of a line of communications, and will thus possess a mobility impossible to a modern army.
The Italian army, on the other hand, will be pitifully dependent upon keeping an unbroken line open to the rear—from the firing line to Italy. Food, clothing, ammunition, medical supplies, and even water, will have to be transported by truck, wagon or mule back. The farther the Army advances the more precarious will this problem become. A sudden raid behind the main body of the army, cutting off its food and water supply for even a few days, would mean suffering and death to thousands.
"Hot Foot" Gas Debunked
Much has been made of Italy's threat to spread irritating gas on the ground over which the barefooted Ethiopian soldiers must pass. Such gasses, however, bar the immediate use of the contaminated ground to one side as much as the other; and since Italy is waging an offensive rather than a defensive war, it is the Italian troops which must advance to attain their objective. The slowly retreating Ethiopians could cause much more suffering by poisoning the few water holes as they fell back.
Italy has one of the most efficient air forces in the world, but aside from reconnaissance and the directing of artillery fire, there is little it can do.
It is true that Addis Ababa and Harar can be bombed, but they contain no vital industries, few important buildings, and are not great centers of communications. The bombing would be a nuisance, but of no military importance.
The machine-gunning and short-range bombing of massed troops by attack planes during an actual assault would be effective, as the Marines proved in Nicaragua; but air fields will have to be constructed rapidly as the Italian army advances.
Ethiopians Trained Night Raiders
An ambush by moonilght, such as the Ethiopians staged at the Adowa debacle, would prevent the effective use of this phase of aviation and the Ethiopians are likely to go in for night attacks, for the Italians must march at night if they hope to prevent excessive casualities from the terrific heat. Long practice in dawn slave raids have made Haille Selassie's warriors adept at night fighting.
An attempt to use tanks will be made at first, but as the interior uplands are approached only mules and men on foot can negotiate the rocky defiles.
Heavy artillery cannot be used effectively against an enemy who has no permanent fortifications, railheads, or ammunition dumps. Light mountain field pieces, machine guns, and efficient rifles will be the only effective superiority the Italian army will possess in armament.
If the King of Kings capitulates, Italy's task will be far from finished. She must not only conquer a million fighting men who have never known subjugation, but she must subdue nature.

Lifecycle of an Advanced Persistent Threat
Advanced Persistent Threats (APTs) are a serious concern because the actors of this type of threat have singled out your organization's assets as something they want and they are willing to invest resources and time to get it. This singular incentive means they'll adapt their tactics as much as necessary to predict and circumvent the security controls and incident response practices you have in place.
How can you protect your intellectual property, financial assets and reputation against APTs?
Read this white paper to get the situational awareness and understanding you'll need to develop an effective and efficient APT defense strategy.

Masterful Mayweather remains unbeaten
Floyd Mayweather outboxed Saul Canelo Alvarez to take the WBA and WBC super welterweight titles.
LAS VEGAS - American Floyd Mayweather produced a masterclass as he outboxed Saul Canelo Alvarez to take the Mexican's WBA and WBC super welterweight titles by majority decision in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
The previously unbeaten Alvarez began by attempting to slow down Mayweather with stiff jabs and hooks to the body, but in response Mayweather (45-0, 26 KOs) snapped back his head with jabs of his own.
The more Alvarez (42-1-1, 30 KOs) stepped forward and became aggressive, the more he left himself vulnerable to Mayweather's rapid counterpunches.
After a relatively quiet opening few rounds, Mayweather began to open up in the fourth, snapping back Alvarez's head with a succession of jabs and then landing a sweeping right at the bell.
In the fifth, Mayweather stood in the pocket in front of Alvarez and landed a series of combinations that rattled his opponent.
When Alvarez attempted to pin Mayweather in the corner in the seventh, the American slipped most of his punches and answered with a right hand, followed by a sequence of jabs and an uppercut, before backing the Mexican to the ropes and picking him apart.
It was the same in the 10th, Mayweather turning defense into offense as he landed counters off the ropes and sent Alvarez into retreat.
"I think if I had pressed the attack earlier, I could have got the stoppage. I like taking my time. But it was a great fight," five-division world champion Mayweather said.
By the end, Alvarez cut a forlorn figure, following Mayweather around the ring as his foe retreated and circled to lure him into a trap.
The final result appeared a formality, and it was a surprise when one of the judges scored the bout a draw.
She was overruled by scores of 117-111 and 116-112, which also seemed close but may have reflected the fact that Mayweather, seemingly confident of victory, effectively coasted through the final couple of rounds.
"I couldn't connect," Alvarez conceded. "He was very elusive and intelligent. He has a lot of experience and I honestly couldn't find him. In the late rounds, I was frustrated. I recognize he beat me. He's a great fighter."
Mayweather praised his fallen foe.
"I fought a true champion tonight," he said. "A guy like that can take a loss and bounce back from it. I've been in the sport 17 years, so just because I beat him the way I did, doesn't mean he doesn't have a great career ahead of him."

Swan Yellow Columbine
Aquilegia 'Swan Yellow'
Swan Yellow Columbine flowers
(Photo courtesy of NetPS Plant Finder)
Height: 20 inches
Spread: 12 inches
Hardiness Zone: 2
Other Names: Wild Columbine, Granny's Bonnet
Group/Class: Swan Series
Brand: PanAmerican Seed
Showy, large lemon yellow nodding flowers on slender stems with long, graceful spurs; makes for long lasting cutflowers; good for naturalizing partially shaded areas, also deer resistant
Ornamental Features
Swan Yellow Columbine features bold nodding lemon yellow bell-shaped flowers with yellow eyes and buttery yellow spurs at the ends of the stems from mid spring to early summer. The flowers are excellent for cutting. Its ferny compound leaves remain bluish-green in color throughout the season. The fruit is not ornamentally significant.
Landscape Attributes
Swan Yellow Columbine is an herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should be cut back in late fall in preparation for winter. Deer don't particularly care for this plant and will usually leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. Gardeners should be aware of the following characteristic(s) that may warrant special consideration;
- Insects
Swan Yellow Columbine is recommended for the following landscape applications;
- Mass Planting
- Rock/Alpine Gardens
- Border Edging
- General Garden Use
- Groundcover
- Naturalizing And Woodland Gardens
- Container Planting
Planting & Growing
Swan Yellow Columbine will grow to be about 16 inches tall at maturity, with a spread of 12 inches. Its foliage tends to remain dense right to the ground, not requiring facer plants in front. It grows at a medium rate, and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 6 years.
This plant performs well in both full sun and full shade. It does best in average to evenly moist conditions, but will not tolerate standing water. It is not particular as to soil type or pH. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This particular variety is an interspecific hybrid.
Swan Yellow Columbine is a fine choice for the garden, but it is also a good selection for planting in outdoor pots and containers. With its upright habit of growth, it is best suited for use as a 'thriller' in the 'spiller-thriller-filler' container combination; plant it near the center of the pot, surrounded by smaller plants and those that spill over the edges. Note that when growing plants in outdoor containers and baskets, they may require more frequent waterings than they would in the yard or garden. Be aware that in our climate, most plants cannot be expected to survive the winter if left in containers outdoors, and this plant is no exception. Contact our store for more information on how to protect it over the winter months.
What Our Clients & Customers Say
To Marc and the crew at Wagner Landscaping,
Just short note to thank you for the quality craftsmanship you delivered at our Jefferson City residence. Our home was cut into a steeply sloping lot necessitating the need for considerable water management and erosion control landscaping. The sculpturing, erosion matting, retaining wall and ditch work was completed in short order, getting us ready for the winter. We are confident that when the snow melts and the rainy season comes next year our property will be ready to handle it. Thanks and best wishes to all.
– Steve Wilhoit –
Dear Chris,
I hope this is the greatest letter of recommendation you've ever received – I know it won't be your last. To anyone who reads this, I can say without hesitation that Chris Wagner should legally change his name to Mr. Boulder! (Just one look at his hands will confirm that this title has been earned.) Chris and his team tackled a very remote project for us with hustle, integrity, imagination and great execution. We couldn't be happier with the results. If Chris says "it" – "it" happens! We are happy to enthusiastically recommend one of the finest individuals with whom we have worked.

Those in the predictions business canlook back on 2011with a measure of self-satisfaction.
Among the "I told you so's": the U.S. debt ceiling death hug in Congress shook investors; the EU debt crisis moved like a roller coaster, and the ebb and flow of China's economic growth functioned like a light switch for the markets.
Arguably, all those issues will remain with us in 2012, but what came with exclamation points in 2011 carry question marks this year. What's more, the issues seem larger and the stakes higher.
(And, yes, some of our predictions were doozies.)
The world of finance lends itself to predicting more than many others; it's ripe for pro and con, positive and negative, up and down, stronger and weaker. Our prognosticators will not disappoint in that regard. CNBC anchors, reporters, editors and bloggers are often as opinionated as they are knowledgeable.
Once again, we asked ourFab Five to weigh in on five questions, what we call The Big Picture: Maria Bartiromo, Jim Cramer, Larry Kudlow, Joe Kernen and Pete Najarian.(BTW: They all scored pretty well last year.)
We've also assembled another edition of the boldest predictions from our participants. Based on what they say, there's plenty for investors to keep an eye on in the year ahead.
The similarities to last year, however, end there. Predictions 2012 is deeper and better organized. We've addedcategories(industries, investments, issues) and a scorecard page for last year's predictions. You can access everything by subject orperson. And, of course, you can still comment.
So, see what the future may bring.

After seeing me help a student recover from a mistake while building a chair, someone in the class will usually take me aside and say, "You know, you need to write an article on fixing mistakes." I always explain that I prefer to teach how to avoid making mistakes.
While my staff at The Windsor Institute and I have a lot of experience fixing things that have gone wrong, I have really compelling reasons for focusing our attention, and that of our students, on avoiding mistakes in the first place. When they happen, mistakes have four very undesirable consequences for me.
First, mistakes cost expensive materials. We cannot tell the student: "Too bad you ruined that piece of wood. The class is over for you." We have to replace it. Second, I have on my hands a student who is angry with himself. Everyone is aware of his funk and it is a drag on the class morale. Third, fixing the mistake will take time. The student will fall behind and it will be more difficult to keep the class on schedule. Fourth, I have to fix the problem, increasing my workload. If the mistake is really bad, I will have to cut a staff member loose to help me. As a result, other people who may need help do not have it as readily available.

Here is the new Pointman Cebu Rogue's Gallery, our our very own Scam Artists Central. These are girls, without a doubt, who have proven themselves to be scam artists, by meeting up with a possible (and genuine) mate online, and then kindly separating these unsuspecting, and sometimes a bit naive folks from their money.
The reason we have listed these girls here, rather than on the "Cases" page, is due to the fact that we have obtained large amounts of additional proof from various different government agencies (and other reliable sources), in order to prove true intent to scam our clients, on their part. These are more "professional" scammers, than the typical cases we have conducted, and have placed on our cases page.
Additionally, these scam artists are helping to destroy the faith others have in people throughout the world. When you meet someone online, and you are a genuine person in your heart, it is a horrible thing to be used by the person on the other end of your internet connection. You feel in your heart, they are the "one" for you. However, the only "one" in their minds, are the "one-hundreds" they can steal from you.
And how much did they scam?

A lot of Filipina scammers don't need fancy computer skills to spam foreigners, all they need really is to chat with them and concoct of some fake sob story.
I gave her money before i met her, she told me how she did not eat very good food, so I wanted her and her son to eat better. Then her "bad luck" started, I will try and list the problems she had.
Her son got a kidney infection. Hospital stay and medication. She got dengue fever. hospital stay and medication. Because she was sick and in the hospital she fell behind on rent, 2500php for the room.
By this time I was a walking ATM machine with bi weekly withdraws.
My visit was from October 5 to 14, it was after that she would have an emergency every week. Her veggie stand was broke into and they stole all her capital. Of course I'll help you, you love me.
<Her son> needs English lessons @ 4000php a month (full time wage for part time teaching). She got evicted from her room, so i agreed to rent her a house for 5000php a month. I had to furnish the house, dining table chairs, couch, TV, queen bed, air-con for bedroom refrigerator. I think i gave her over $1000 just for this.
Overnight trip to CDO to get her birth certificate. Lies I am sure. While in CDO at her aunts house, the mp3 player I got for her is stolen. <Her son> gets bit by a dog. Rabies shots that cost way too much. 3, then 4 of them.
Her Lolo is sick and in hospital, he can pay all but 8000php of his bill, lolo will pay me back in January when he sells a lot in town.
Her trip to Cebu is where she got robbed.
It is really such a pity when Filipinas resort to such things. To think, sometimes the amount they ask is practically loose change from a foreigner. If I were a foreigner or even a Filipino living abroad, I really wouldn't mind helping out a poor Filipina who keeps me company over the webcam regularly to relieve me from my problems and stress. And no, I will not ask sex from her.

I want to add
<code> tag to my post, easily. For example, Adding code is very easily in Stackoverflow and other sites. Basically, we can add codes between apostrophes (``) I need something like that for Wordpress .
Maybe i can use shortcode function for this.
For example :
[code="<b>Hello</b>"] will show exactly like this :
In summary, i'm sharing a lot of HTML and PHP codes with my readers on my blog. I need an easily way to share them. Is it possible, like stackoverflow's apostrophe method ? Or maybe shortcodes ?

The office of the future is not a physical space with a desk, chair and workstation wired to the network. It's a secure virtual environment that is accessible from anywhere via whatever device people wish to use.
To bring government agencies and business closer to this vision, the U.K.-based company recently launched its Connected Desktop experience, which allows colleagues to work together, store, edit and save files via their desktop applications directly into Huddle's secure cloud. This removes the need for files to be saved locally and frees up teams from being tethered to the corporate network, company officials said in a release.
Huddle is an enterprise collaboration platform that combines cloud, mobility and social networking to give teams of people an alternative to using email as their primary collaboration tool.
In May, Huddle launched a secure, cloud-based collaboration platform for U.S. government agencies. Billed as an alternative to Microsoft's SharePoint, Huddle hopes to address areas where SharePoint may be vulnerable, such as ease-of-use, pricing and secure collaboration with people outside of an agency. Huddle can work on top of, alongside or instead of SharePoint, depending on an agency's collaboration requirements.
Not so long ago industry experts said the "network is a computer," but now "the cloud is becoming a computer," Andy McLoughlin, Huddle's co-founder and senior vice president of strategy, said during an interview. The new connected desktop moves workers away from siloed PC applications to team collaboration using the power of cloud, mobile, social and desktop, he said.
The Connected Desktop experience brings five new capabilities to the Huddle collaboration platform.
Huddle for Windows and Huddle for Mac remove the need for files to be saved locally. Teams of workers can open, lock, edit and save files and move those files seamlessly between devices because all content and conversations are stored in Huddle's secure cloud, McLoughlin noted. If connectivity is lost while files are being edited via desktop applications, the latest file version is uploaded into Huddle as soon as connectivity is restored.
Huddle for Outlook is designed to unlock knowledge stored in people's inboxes by moving content and related discussions out of email. It saves attachments and all related email discussions in the cloud. Email responses are recorded as a series of comments against the file in Huddle, retaining the context of the discussion such as who provided feedback and when. Anyone in the email chain who is not a Huddle user is automatically invited into Huddle to continue the conversation. All information is recorded, searchable and audited.
Huddle Drive puts all file storage in the Huddle cloud, making it easy to access files just as if they were stored on the networked desktop or laptop computers, McLoughlin said. The enterprise-grade virtual drive provides access to office workers' Huddle workspaces, files and folders and combines advanced security with an intuitive, easy-to-use interface. With files no longer stored on people's machines, the risk of corporate data being leaked or lost is mitigated, according to Huddle.
Huddle Viewer allows images and videos to be immediately previewed securely in the cloud. Workers can easily locate the latest version of a media file and share it with colleagues. Files quickly load as office workers scroll down the page, making the file selection process simple. They will soon be able to stream video with Huddle Viewer.
Huddle Dashboard shows users their business activity stream and all the people they are working with. Office workers can see all activity and projects relevant to them across their workspaces. Files for approval, notifications, comments, tasks and actions are immediately flagged, and teams can easily see what progress has been made across projects, Huddle officials said.

Any seasoned video game veteran is used to the idea of choices. In Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, you made choices that determined your character's alignment. In Pokemon, you chose between Squirtle, Bulbasaur, and Charmander, and that choice determined your rival's team for the rest of the game. In World of Warcraft, character creation is a system of choices: What race will you be? What gender will you be? What faction will you choose? And, of course, the most important choice: What class will you be?
If you're reading, this, I assume you made the right choice and chose a shaman. You spent the first 10 levels in an awkward, liminal space where you weren't quite sure whether or not you were supposed to melee mobs or cast at them. Maybe you did both, casting Lightning Bolts in between your Primal Strike and Earth Shock cooldowns. If you're stuck in this in-between area, where you're not quite sure what you're supposed to be doing or what the purpose and playstyle of the two DPS specs for shaman are, this is the right place. Today, I'll discuss enhancement.

In this edition of the Nouveau Companion, the developers of the open-source 2D/3D NVIDIA display driver talk about IRC color coding, NV04 performance improvements, texture fixes, EXA advancements, register combiners, and more. Also being worked on by the Nouveau camp has been a NV4x TTM and Gallium prototype. The Nouveau developers are still in need of some additional testing, so be sure to give them a hand if you're able to do so.
Here we go again: Prepare for issue number 29 of the TiNDC. When we were talking about our project's infrastructure in the last couple of issues, it was mostly negative news (no scripts working, need to move to FD.o etc). Finally, we can report something positive about it: We have HTML versions with links and colored nicks thanks to a script by MJules. That version was well received and even allowed tagging so that you could link to a certain line in the log (by entering '==== (topic)'). You can see which topics were tagged on the tag index page.
But the script gave some false positives and thus pachi went out and improved on it. The script is now able to add HTML anchors automatically based on time stamps. You can find both script, style sheet and the colored logs at this link. This option should come in handy for the TiNDC. Let us know, whether you like this or not.
Additionally, we now have a page where important test requests are announced. So if you want to help us out and don't want to code, please have a look here.
One last topic before we start with the progress report itself. The question came up, why there is such a long delay between Phoronix.com publishing the TiNDC and me putting it up on the Wiki. It is simple:
· A short grace period of a few hours
· Different timezones (which fits well with reason 1)
· And this time due to real life concerns, I wasn't able to get to my computer before Saturday noon (CEST). At that time KMeyer already was done.
The Current Status
ahuillet added a patch to increase the performance on NV04. The patch cached calls to BLIT_OPERATION and RECT_OPERATION. As these are software methods, calling them too often slows down the system dramatically. This patch can be found on the FreeDesktop gitweb.
At the end of the last issue we saw ahuillet, pmdata and p0g fighting the perils of texturing and coloring triangles and quads on NV1x. The result varied wildly (from changing colors over black squads to only partly of rendered texture (1 Texel), just pick the failure of your choice and our developer can tell you that they already suffered through it.
Finally he had success; it was a missing bit for texturing in the init code. P0g did more work on NV1x blending / transparency. First tries yielded black borders around icons instead of the background. He did some investigations and found the culprit: Transparency wasn't enabled, so he whipped up a patch.
Another problem fixed was non power of two textures (textures with a width / height, which is not a power of two) need to have an even size. Odd widths are rounded up.

Why Fed Ed Fails, and Proposals to Stop the Madness
On Monday, we took the word right to Capitol Hill: The federal government has been an abject education failure, and the only acceptable solution to the problem is for Uncle Sam to leave our kids alone.
At the briefing in which the word was issued, Heritage's Lindsey Burke and I also examined congressional proposals that could move us closer to the ultimate solution — especially the LEARN and A-PLUS acts — and explained why Washington, even if its interference were authorized by the Constitution, will never make education better by staying involved.
Unfortunately, lots of people couldn't make the briefing. That's why we are so happy to be able to present the briefing right here, to view in the comfort of your own computer chair.

Here it is, the fist "official" glimpse into Vincenzo Natali's vision of William Gibson's Neuromancer world. And it's just great. Sure it's not much to go on, but it's a gritty-looking finger, with an invitation to jack in. Sold.
We're still pretty thrilled the director of Splice is on board for this movie, and this latest poser spotted at the American Film Market has us excited. Please, oh please, be good.

Vice President Joe Biden is "fired up and ready to go" for the debate with Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, Obama campaign spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Thursday.
Traveling with reporters to Miami for President Barack Obama's campaign events, Psaki said the president and campaign has "great confidence in the vice president's performance."
She added later that the president called Biden on Air Force One during the flight to wish him luck tonight.
Psaki pushed back, however, on the notion, that it's up to Biden to blunt the momentum Mitt Romney built up after his performance in last week's presidential debate, from which he emerged, by most accounts, the winner.
Indicating, perhaps, Biden's line of attack against Ryan, she said the real question was "which Paul Ryan will show up this evening," saying he has a tendency to be misleading about his positions on Medicare and tax cuts. But she also noted that, as the opponents will be sitting down, the debate will likely be "more of a conversation" than the first presidential debate, which featured both candidates sparring from podiums at opposite sides of the stage.
At the president's campaign event later in Miami, Democratic Sen. Bill Nelson was much more bullish when previewing the vice president's debate performance, saying he would make "mincemeat" of Ryan Thursday night.

Privacy advocates and consumer rights groups are keeping a wary eye on a new copyright enforcement mechanism set to be rolled out by major Internet Service Providers.
The so-called Copyright Alert System (CAS) aims to warn Internet users who illegally download and share music, videos and other copyrighted content over peer-to-peer file sharing networks.
Internet users identified as engaging in illegal file sharing will receive a graduated set of warnings from their ISP.
Initial alerts will be "educational" in nature, informing users about the consequences of copyright infringement, according to a description of the program by the Center for Copyright Infringement (CCI), the entity in charge of the system.
Internet users who continue to illegally share content sharing will next receive a so-called "acknowledgment" alert requiring them to click a link on their browser to acknowledge they have seen the notices.
"For accounts where alleged infringing activity continues, enhanced alerts that contain 'mitigation measures' will follow. These mitigation measures will vary by ISP and range from requiring the subscriber to review educational materials, to a temporary slow-down of Internet access speed," the CCI noted in its announcement last week.
The CCI did not specify what would happen to users who continued illegal file-sharing activities even after receiving warnings. But it insisted that ISPs would not terminate a consumer's Internet service under the Copyright Alert System.
"Contrary to many erroneous reports, this is not a "six-strikes-and-you're-out" system that would result in termination. There's no "strikeout" in this program," it said.
The CCI last week noted that ISPs will begin to implement the program over the next two months.
The CCI is a collaborative anti-piracy effort involving U.S. content creators and five major ISPs. Members of the initiative include the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA), the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), AT&T, Comcast, Verizon and Time Warner Cable. The group also includes several associations that represent independent film and music producers.
Under the Copyright Alert System, content owners will be responsible for monitoring file-sharing networks and for identifying any alleged illegal activity. The ISP will then send out graduated alerts to the owners of the IP addresses associated with the infringing activity.
In an email to Computerworld, a spokesman from Verizon said CCI's blog post last week accurately describes the Copyright Alert System being rolled out by Verizon. AT&T, Comcast and Time Warner Cable (TWC) did not respond to request for comment on the program.
In comments made to Techhive, a TWC spokesman is quoted as saying the company will follow the same procedures outlined by the CCI last week.
However, the TWC spokesman said that it will temporarily cut off Internet services for users who receive a fifth warning.
The suspension will remain in place until the account holder calls Time Warner Cable "so you can listen to us preach about copyright infringement," the TWC spokesman is quoted as saying in the Techhive story.
Internet users who believe they have been wrongly accused of copyright infringement by ISPs will have a right to appeal the suspension through the American Arbitration Association, a neutral dispute resolution organization, according to the CCI.
In the case of TWC at least, Internet users will need to pay an upfront fee of $35 to file an appeal. The fee will be refunded if the appeal is upheld, according to Techhive.
David Sohn, general counsel and director of the Center for Democracy and Technology's (CDT) Project on Copyright and Technology said the Copyright Alert System could serve a useful purpose if used purely for its stated purpose of educating users.
The key though will be the manner in which it is implemented by ISPs, Sohn said.
"If it stays focused on informing and educating people we think it could make a positive contribution to reducing infringement," Sohn said. However, the system could have the opposite effect if used as a tool to impose punishment, he said.
"It can play a positive role towards education but not for meting out punishment," Sohn said.
Stakeholders need to ensure that the system is not used by ISPs to cut people off the Internet based purely on the basis of private notices from content creators, he cautioned.
CDT is one of several advocacy and rights organizations that have been called into to play an advisory role in the CCI.
The Copyright Alert System formalizes a practice that ISPs have quietly used for several years against egregious copyright infringers said Gigi Sohn, president and CEO of Public Knowledge, another advocacy group that is advising the CCI.
The system is set up to minimize false alerts and will ostensibly be used to issue alerts only to those who download or distribute entire copyrighted works, said Gigi Sohn (no relation the CDTs David Sohn).
Considerable effort has been put by the CCI into ensuring that the alerting is not done is a "very finger wagging way because that would just not work," she said.
ISPs have a vested interest in ensuring that the Copyright Alert System becomes a success, Sohn said. U.S. content creators have been relentless in their effort to curtail piracy and would have lobbied Congress heavily for some sort of legislation if ISPs had not gone along, she addd.
Corynne McSherry, intellectual property director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, expressed serious reservations overthe alerting system.
The graduated response mechanism is triggered by a mere allegation by content creators, she said.
The system offers no easy way for users to independently investigate the allegations against them or to hold content owners responsible for false allegations, McSherry said. Subscribers also get very little time to defend the allegations against them, she added.
"Internet access has become an essential service in the digital age," McSherry said. "Just as we restrict the power of utilities to turn off services to their customers, we should not allow content owners to cause Internet access providers to degrade or suspend their services without adequate due process."

The Supercomp Big Brake Kit is our most extreme brake upgrade, designed to provide the highest level of stopping power without requiring any vehicle modifications to install. This sophisticated bolt-on brake upgrade features the same benefits of our Procomp kit but features larger calipers, rotors, and brake pads, increased pistons and standard full-floating rotors for better self-centering in the caliper. All calipers feature 1-piece construction from a solid billet of aircraft grade aluminum for lightweight, unparalleled strength and freedom from corrosion. Calipers also feature aluminum pistons that provide better heat resistance and uncompromised operation.
Lightweight Forged One-Piece Caliper: Our extremely lightweight forged one-piece calipers feature one-piece construction from a solid billet of aerospace quality aluminum rather than being cast or welded together. This provides perfectly even thicknesses and strength over every part of the caliper block
Carbon Steel Caliper Brackets: All Ksport Big Brake kits come with CNC machined Carbon Steel caliper brackets. Since our calipers are much larger than OEM, these brackets help the system bolt right up to your OEM caliper bracket location.
Floating Two-Piece Rotor Design: Floating two-piece rotors are standard on all Supercomp brake systems. The floating rotor features an outer section designed to shift slightly as needed. Better self-centering in the caliper lowers brake drag and boosts performance through more even application.
Custom Caliper Options: Brake calipers come standard in painted colors such as Orange, Red, Black and Yellow. There is also an option to upgrade to premium high polish finishes in Silver, Gold and Titanium as well as Glassy/Hard Anodized Colors. With over 20,000 custom color finishes are also available the options are nearly limitless.
SC5 Street Pads Included: The NAOC Ceramic pads give optimal braking performance under street and occasional track conditions. The pads reduce the amount of brake dust by 50% or more when compared to race pads and greatly reduce the amount of noise and wear on the rotor. Optimal operating temperatures between 194°F - 1022°F.
Stainless Steel Brake Lines: D.O.T compliant stainless-steel braided brake lines are standard in all our brake kits. The Stainless-Steel brake lines stop expansion under pressure, provide a quicker pedal response, and have a firmer pedal feel over stock rubber lines.
Slotted or Cross Drilled Rotors: Furthering the customization, Procomp allows for the option of Cross Drilled or Slotted Rotors. Since Cross Drilled rotors run cooler than slotted, we recommend them for daily driven vehicles. For vehicles that will be seeing more track, we recommend Slotted.

However, PR agencies made a bigger impression in the rankings of gold winners, with Surrey-based independent Golden Goose PR, Ketchum Pleon Berlin, Ogilvy France and Weber Shandwick London picking up gongs. Edelman London, The Red Consultancy and Weber Shandwick Chicago were also credited on Gold-winning entries by Publicis Italy, Cheil UK and DraftFCB.
The Grand Prix was won by McCann Melbourne for its Dumb Ways to Die Campaign for Metro Trains. The judges said that it was an obvious winner from the first round of voting, although the Real Beauty Sketches campaign by Ogilvy Brasil for Unilever brand Dove ran a close second and the two were debated at great length.
The chair of the judges, Ketchum EMEA chief executive David Gallagher, said there was a lot of progress visible in the PR industry's performance at this year's awards. 'We see more entries [from PR agencies], more shortlisted and more winners, but competition is fierce. Make sure you enter your best work – I don't see all of it here.'
Gallagher asserted that it was time for PR professionals to 'get more confident and quit worrying if we belong at Cannes. We do. We are professional communicators and we should be able to talk about our thoughtful, strategic work in a concise and compelling manner,' he continued. 'PR agencies need to enter their best work in greater numbers.'
Gallagher added that he had instructed his fellow judges to disregard the exquisitely crafted videos that trumpeted many ad agency entries and to investigate the case work and written submissions. 'The problem with some of these beautifully made videos is that when you kick the tyres of the entries, they're pretty hollow,' Gallagher noted.
The judges whittled 800 entries down to a shortlist featuring a number of UK PR agencies before picking the winners.

At the entrance to one of the buildings at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) on the North Shore of hurricane-devastated Long Island in New York state, there's a makeshift sign: "Sandy versus Science … Science Wins."
Although Long Island, where this prominent molecular biology institution is based, was hit hard by Hurricane Sandy earlier this week, prior planning meant the lab remained a beacon—literally—in the community, despite the loss of power in much of the area.
Although other institutions, notably, New York University, were devastated by the storm, CSHL had in place eight diesel-powered generators, each capable of supplying several buildings. They have been running since the electricity went out on Monday night. The generators are maintaining freezers and incubators of specimens, allowing experiments to carry on, enabling the cafeteria to stay open, and even providing lights and media for a meeting that was supposed to start Tuesday, and finally got going yesterday.
And the community has taken notice. "They saw the lights on at night," says CSHL President Bruce Stillman. Over the past few days, police and firefighters and local families and their children have made their way over to the lab for meals and Internet access. "We think we can last rather indefinitely as long as we can get diesel," Stillman says.
After being hit with Hurricane Gloria in 1985, the lab realized it needed to have an emergency plan. "Lessons learned from there really put us in good shape," Stillman says.
Several days before Sandy, the lab's disaster plan kicked in. Located on the shores of Long Island Sound, the lab was vulnerable to flooding, so elevators were moved up from the basements and sandbags piled to shield against the incoming tide, which peaked more than 2 meters above normal on Monday. Water got into one building and even then didn't do much damage, Stillman says. With ample housing on the campus, the lab also arranged for facilities personnel to stay overnight during the storm, so cleanup of 100 downed trees began first thing Tuesday morning.
The lab had stocked up on food, laying away a 5-day supply for its cafeteria, and diesel, with enough for 2 days and a prearranged contract with a supplier to keep the fuel tanks full. When the lab's vehicles needed gas, they trucked a generator over to the local gas station to fill up, and soon there were long lines of local residents doing likewise.
Undaunted, organizers of a 4-day meeting on cell nuclear receptors and disease have started sessions for the 40 registrants who have actually made it to the lab. Some international travelers made it, but the plenary speaker couldn't get there from New York City, Stillman says.
As of Thursday, there was no phone service on the lab's main campus, and those that live on the grounds have been taking cold showers for the most part. But overall, Stillman says, "I'm happy with the way things have come through."

| 0.3°C Belfast
Juan Mata feels Manchester United's players owe supporters a much better performance against Hull than Saturday's dismal 1-0 defeat at home to Sunderland.
The shock loss was United's seventh on their own patch in what has been a dire year and the Spaniard wants to see an improvement against the Tigers.
"I was unhappy with the result, but the good thing is that on Tuesday we play again in Old Trafford," United's club-record signing wrote on his blog.
"It's our last game at home this season and we want to have a decent farewell in front of our fans, with a good game and a victory.
"They have given us remarkable support throughout the last year and that shows the greatness of the club and the loyalty of our fans in the good and, in particular, the bad moments."
The Hull game will be a significant one for a number of reasons.
Nemanja Vidic will play his final game at Old Trafford. For Rio Ferdinand and Patrice Evra - both of whom are out of contract this summer - it could be their last home game too.
And it may well be the last time United fans get a glimpse of Ryan Giggs for a while as he has not been assured that he will figure in Louis van Gaal's plans - either as a player or coach. The interim boss did not rule out naming himself in the matchday squad when quizzed on the matter at the weekend.
Striker Wayne Rooney could return after missing the Sunderland defeat due to illness and a tight groin.
Meanwhile, Hull manager Steve Bruce believes the club's achievements this season represent "a dream come true" for supporters.
The Tigers had a weekend of mixed emotions, turning one of the sloppiest performances of the season in a 3-1 defeat to Aston Villa while seeing results elsewhere fall perfectly.
Everton's defeat to Manchester City ensured that Hull's FA Cup final appearance would guarantee a place in Europe next season, regardless of the result, before Norwich's draw at Chelsea confirmed their mathematical safety from relegation.
For a side whose only stated ambition upon their return to the top flight was 17th place and another year of Premier League football, it represents a season that defied all expectations.
Bruce, who now plans to assess some of his fringe players during Tuesday's trip to Manchester United, said: "It's satisfaction, it's relief...to be safe with two games to go I didn't think would be possible at the start of the season.
"I honestly thought over the months we'd be in a relegation fight but if we're being totally honest we haven't really been involved at all, which is a testament to the players.
"It's just remarkable...to stay in the Premier League, get to the FA Cup final and get into Europe is one hell of an achievement for everyone concerned.
"It's been a fantastic journey and it's the icing on the cake for the club itself. The supporters must be thinking all their dreams have come true."
Bruce is set to ring the changes for the trip a nd will take the chance to give the likes of Stephen Quinn, George Boyd, Robert Koren, Yannick Sagbo and Matty Fryatt some much-needed game time.
Defender James Chester (hamstring), Sone Aluko (ankle), Allan McGregor (ribs/kidney), Robbie Brady (groin) and Paul McShane (ankle) are all out.

Christian Kuras and I have been busily preparing for a class we should have called "The Decent into Awesome." A class that brings together Avital Ronell, Silkscreens, and Juggalos/Celine Dion, publishing as form, and the new sincerity manifesto, so wrong it can only be right. It is going to be magic. We will make, talk, collaborate, share, and be awesome. (We will definitely figure out whether awesome is really something we want to be and no prior printmaking experience is necessary!)
Our friends at Ox-Bow just let us know that their are still a couple of slots open in our class and we thought we should remind you of the life altering good times that can be had at Ox-Bow. I am going to be polite and not mention the dance parties or Eric May's (and co's) amazing cooking or the blazing good times that will be had around the fire every evening. I will just mention that there are still slots available in the following classes and that it is one of the greatest experiences to give your art life.

Discrepancies in the Manti Te'o 'Catfish' defense
Manti Te'o says he is the victim of a hoax. A "Catfish." His girlfriend, Lenay Kekua wasn't real.
"To think that I shared ... my happiness about my relationship and details that I thought to be true about her just makes me sick," Te'o said in a statement. "I hope that people can understand how trying and confusing this whole experience has been."
Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick is standing by the captain of the football team.
"Every single thing about this, until that day in the first week of December, was real to Manti, "Swarbrick said."There was no suspicion it wasn't. No belief it might not be. The pain was real. The grief was real. The affection was real. That's the nature of this sad, cruel game."
Yet, there are clear discrepancies which shake the ground on which Te'o and Swarbrick are standing. Especially from an Oct. 12 story in the South Bend Tribune.
Eric Hansen, who wrote the story for the Tribune, told of Te'o and Kekua's first meeting:
"Their stares got pleasantly tangled, then Manti Te'o extended his hand to the stranger with a warm smile and soulful eyes."
"Lennay Kekua was a Stanford student and a Cardinal football fan when the two exchanged glances, handshakes and phone numbers that fateful weekend three seasons ago."
It is a romantic meeting which Swarbrick claims never happened.
"Several meetings were set up where Lennay never showed," Swarbrick said Wednesday.
Brian Te'o, Manti's father, was quoted in the same Tribune story detailing his son's meeting with Kekua in Hawaii, contradicting Swarbrick :
"They started out as just friends," Brian Te'o said. "Every once in a while, she would travel to Hawaii, and that happened to be the time Manti was home, so he would meet with her there. But within the last year, they became a couple."
"And we came to the realization that she could be our daughter-in-law. Sadly, it won't happen now."
The Tribune's story was written in October, and Swarbrick says Te'o discovered he had been deceived Dec. 6, when the linebacker received a call from a person he believed to be Kekua. On Dec. 8, Te'o gave Brian Hamilton of the Chicago Tribune the following quote, which Hamilton shared on Twitter Wednesday:
"Manti Te'o on 12/8, 2 days after hoaxers call again: "I don't like cancer at all. I lost both my grandparents and my girlfriend to cancer."
Why, after just learning this person was not dead, would he discuss her death?
Further oddities come in an interview with Kate Sullivan in which Te'o shared details of his relationship with Kekua:
"Before she passed, I know it's kind of creepy, but she would write letters for me before every game," Te'o told Sullivan. "The Stanford game was the last game she wrote a letter for."
Notre Dame beat Stanford on Oct. 13, one month and three games after Kekua's alleged passing. It's entirely plausible that Kekua had written the letters ahead of time. But why stop at Stanford?
Te'o was never able to tell Kekua he loved her in person. Not once, was Kekua in the stands in South Bend, nor Te'o by her bedside. Despite such an allegedly strong emotional relationship, Te'o was never moved enough to visit the woman he professed to love nor attend her funeral.
It all is so convoluted, so outrageous, and so sad.

Republicans in the House of Representatives Saturday announced they would vote on a plan to fund the government through December 15th and delay the Affordable Care Act for one year.
The bill, at odds with the Senate continuing resolution, almost certainly means the government is headed for a shutdown.
The GOP's bill, as announced by Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, also includes a provision that ensures members of the military will get paid, even if the shutdown occurs. It also includes a permanent repeal of the Affordable Care Act's medical device tax.
The bill, which will likely pass the Republican-controlled House Saturday afternoon, will also certainly fail in the Senate -- and be vetoed by the president.
House Republican leaders, including Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and GOP Conference Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wa., released the following joint statement:
"The American people don't want a government shut down and they don't want ObamaCare. That's why later today, the House will vote on two amendments to the Senate-passed continuing resolution that will keep the government open and stop as much of the president's health care law as possible.
"The first amendment delays the president's health care law by one year. And the second permanently repeals ObamaCare's medical device tax that is sending jobs overseas.
"Both of these amendments will change the date of the Senate CR to December 15th. We will also vote on a measure that ensures our troops get paid, no matter what.
"We will do our job and send this bill over, and then it's up to the Senate to pass it and stop a government shutdown."
Unless one side blinks -- and President Barack Obama has indicated he won't budge -- the non-essential government operations will shutter beginning Tuesday, October 1.

We can't afford to let health care reform fall through the cracks
NEA responds to new report showing premium increases outpace cost of care
WASHINGTON - March 02, 2010 -
Health Care for America Now (HCAN) today released a new report that says health insurance premium costs are increasing faster than the cost of medical care. HCAN's report debunks claims by lobbying groups that for-profit health insurance companies raise their rates to keep up with the costs that doctors and hospitals charge to treat patients.
HCAN reviewed data from 2000 to 2008. They found that premiums for individuals and families enrolled in employer-sponsored health plans increased between 90 and 97 percent, yet private insurers' payments to health care providers only rose 72 percent. Medical inflation increased 39 percent.
The following can be attributed to National Education Association President Dennis Van Roekel:
"We cannot afford to let health care reform fall through the cracks. I've been a math teacher for more than 20 years, and I can tell you that the numbers just don't add up. Costs to consumers are going up at a far greater rate than the cost to the insurance companies. These tactics have pushed health care out of reach for too many people.
"Those people are mothers, fathers, teachers, school bus drivers and students…students who show up at the school doors too sick to concentrate on their lessons. Others are too sick to come to school at all. Meanwhile, health insurance lobbyists are playing the blame game and pointing fingers at who is responsible for premium increases.
"Insurance companies should not put profit and marketing ahead of people. HCAN's report reinforces what NEA and health care reform supporters have said all along: Insurance companies must be held accountable for soaring premiums, cancelling coverage when people get sick, and denying care to people who need it most. Meaningful reform will ensure accountability.
"We urge our leaders to have the courage to do what's right for America—pass health care reform that ensures quality, affordable health coverage for everyone."

Habil Khorakiwala, chairman of pharma major Wockhardt, is on a well-deserved holiday abroad.
The 70-year-old can look back at 2012 with a great deal of satisfaction - after a near-collapse following a wrong derivatives bet in 2008, Wockhardt bounced back in the tough economic year and, in the process, shareholder wealth in the firm went up four times.
The biggest gainer was Khorakiwala himself, with his personal wealth rising over Rs 10,000 crore in 2012, as he owns 74 per cent stake in the company.
"Operationally, Wockhardt has always performed well. The investor community has, perhaps, now started recognising our performance. We believe the discount in our stock is still significantly less than that in some of our peers'.
This, along with a new product development pipeline and our focus on growth and profitability, would result in enhanced value for stakeholders in the coming years," Khorakiwala says.

Not everyone on the list of promoters whose wealth grew in 2012 would, however, share that happiness. Vijay Mallya, too, is one of them.
The year was almost a nightmare for this once-upon-a-time 'king of good times', but his decision to sell United Spirits Ltd (USL) to global liquor giant Diageo made sure he was on the list.
The deal had a rub-off impact on all UB Group companies - the USL and UB shares rose 175 per cent in 2012.
Even as his Kingfisher Airlines was grounded, Mallya's wealth went up by Rs 16,368 crore. It's a different matter, however, that there's little chance any of this money would be pumped into the debt-laden airline.

Among other top gainers was Jet Airways' Naresh Goyal, whose wealth shot up by 239 per cent, following reports his company was close to signing a deal with the Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways for sale of part of its 80 per cent promoter stake.
The value of Goyal's considerable holding in Jet surged to Rs 2,800 crore from less than Rs 1,200 crore a year ago.
Some other big gainers were Shree Cement's Bangurs (richer by Rs 5,000 crore) and Vivek Chaand Sehgal of Motherson Sumi Systems. Sehgal saw his family wealth increasing by Rs 4,100 crore.
The stock of Prestige Estate, a Bangalore-based realty firm, went up 152 per cent during the year, making its promoters richer by Rs 2,840 crore.
Click NEXT to read more...
Among conglomerates, the biggest gainer was Tata Sons. The value of promoter holding in the group's firms went up by 18.7 per cent, or Rs 41,764 crore.
This could come in handy in the new year as Cyrus Mistry, the new chairman, draws up plans to grow the group's revenues to $500 billion (from $100 billion now) over the next 10 years.
Click NEXT to read more...
Mukesh Ambani, who owns half of Reliance Industries shares, saw his wealth climbing Rs 22,721 crore, backed by a 22.7 per cent rise in his firm's stock price.
Ambani, who this year had run-ins with former petroleum minister, S Jaipal Reddy, and the Comptroller & Auditor General, could expect good news as a committee set up by the government has recommended doubling of gas prices in the country.
Click NEXT to read more...
There also was good news for other Indian promoters, such as those of Aditya Birla Group (wealth up 43 per cent) and for Mahindra & Mahindra (wealth up 46.5 per cent, or Rs 10,237 crore).
The Bajaj family is also ending the year on a high note, with its wealth rising 50 per cent, or Rs 15,948 crore.

Updating my RSS Feed output after editing or removing a post
Hi All
I have used the RSS feed mod to include an RSS feed for each section of my forum. I pull this information to other sites I have to help bring new members to my forum.
I have a small issue in that sometimes the odd spammer gets through the loop for a few hours before I ban and clean them. I notice that once I have removed the post or edited a terrible subject line that the RSS feed remains the same.
I have tried cleaning the post cache after editing and this had no effect. I have cleared the cache locally and this didn't change anything.
Can someone shed some light on how to achieve updating of the information on the RSS page after edits and deletions have been done. I have set up empty cache features on my sites that pull in the feed so we can quickly have them removed from there but they can't remove them if they are still showing on my forums rss pages.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

run the cron job that puts out the RSS info again.
Though if they download the RSS each time it updates, and store local copies of it, i don't think you'll be able to do much about it.

I also wonder if there's a simple way to only pull data to the RSS page that is {ServerDate} minus 24 hrs. Therefore anything that comes in that might be spam or needs fixing would be able to be fixed over a 24 hr period before it is sent out.
I suppose I can just set the cron job for once every 24 hrs and that will have the same effect?

American Pickers - Season 20
Have you been building up a collection of Americana over the past 50 years or so? If so, then Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz may pay you a visit one day. The Midwestern pickers travel across America in search of rare artifacts and national treasures that they can buy from the collectors they visit and then sell in their antiques shops or, in some cases, put in their personal collections. They often have to dig through boxes or piles filled with items that have accumulated over the years, which are often located in such places as barns or spare rooms in the owners' homes. While the guys are willing to buy pretty much anything old, their particular interests include items having to do with the auto industry and classic toys.

Afraid students would learn tolerance (God forbid!) by visiting an Islamic mosque, a squeaky wheel stepdad complained to administrators at Henderson High School in Hendersonville, Tenn., prompting them to cancel all religious field trips.
Mike Conner worried that his stepdaughter would learn a little too much about Islam during a 36-week world studies course. When the teacher planned to take the class on field trips to a mosque and a Hindu temple. Conner found out about those plans on back-to-school night and made a big stink about it.
"If we as parents don't begin speaking up, no one will," he justified himself to The Tennessean.
The elective course (read: Conner's stepdaughter didn't have to sign up), which spends a few weeks on major world religions, has been offered at Hendersonville High for 10 years, school spokesman Jeremy Johnson told the newspaper. Students in past years have visited synagogues, Hindu temples and a mosque without complaint.
Perhaps at Conner's behest, the stepdaughter already had opted for an alternate assignment. The teacher asked her to compare and contrast the religious teachings of Jesus, Gandhi and Muhammad. She wasn't having it (or maybe Conner wasn't) because the materials supplied included a page of Bible verses, two-thirds of a page about Gandhi and five pages on Muhammad. Not fair, she said.
"The teacher was pushing Islamic tolerance," Conner told the Tennessean. "We did not want to make this about religion – they forced us to."
Objecting to that force, Conner used some of his own, causing the district to cancel all religious field trips unless they could spend equal time on each religion, arguably a logistic impossibility given budget and time constraints. So the school canceled them entirely.
A former student credited that class for opening her mind to new cultures and perspectives, telling the newspaper that she was sad to see the trips end because they allowed for dialogue and experience unmatched by class talks and a textbook.
Too bad folks like Conner equate learning with indoctrination. What's that Aristotle quote again? Oh yeah: "It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."

Hungry Girl,
Can you give me some information about mangos? What are their benefits and also their nutritional value (i.e. calories, sugar, fat, etc.)?
Thanks!Mango Maven
Dear Maven,
Mangos ROCK! They are actually one of the most popular fruits in the world but live their lives under the radar here in the US. With a peachy/pineappley flavor, they are ideal to use in recipes and fantastic eaten straight. A large mango (no skin) contains about 135 calories, less than 1g fat, 35g carbs, 4mg sodium, 30g sugars and a whopping 4g of fiber. Slightly unwieldy and tricky to slice (that giant pit is so irritating!), I recommend using a mango splitter to do the work for you. Here are some more interesting mango facts. There are hundreds of varieties of mangos, they continue to ripen once they're off the tree (and in your home), they contain vitamins A & C, as well as beta carotene and are known as "the king of fruit" throughout the world. Still want more mango info? Check out Chef Allen Susser's The Great Mango Book for info and awesome mango-rific recipes!
Dear HG,
I'm new to your site and have several questions. When you say "points" do you mean Weight Watchers points? Do people pay you to write about their products? Where can I find Torani syrup and Blue Bunny ice cream products? Also - what's your favorite beverage? Ok, that's all for now.
Curious in Cleveland
Dear Curious,
WOW...that's a lot of questions. You really are curious, aren't you? OK, here goes. Yes, when I mention "points" I am referring to Weight Watchers points. A large number of HG subscribers follow the WW plan, so I often include points values as a courtesy. As far as being paid to write about things-- no, none of the editorial you read in HG is paid for. That means NOTHING in our News, Chew the Right Thing, Ask HG, Weekly Weigh In and Girls Bite Out is paid for. Companies can't pay to be featured in HG editorial. You will notice HG does occasionally send sponsored dedicated emails, and that we include banners and Guilt Free Grocery advertorials in select emails. Those things are paid for, but please know that any ads you do see are all for products that I approve of and would feature in editorial anyway. This means that all ads and special offers are only for products that I really like. Moving on. Torani syrup can be found at stores like Smart & Final and Cost Plus World Market. It's also sold online at Amazon and select sites. Torani's web site has more details. As for Blue Bunny, their products are carried at select supermarkets (more readily available in the midwest), and can also be found nationally at Wal-Mart Supercenters. And, as for the beverage thing, my favorite thing to drink is water (but about once or twice a week I'll have a Coke Zero, which is my diet soda of choice). Whew, that was exhausting...

HEADS UP!!!!!! There will be NO HG EMAILS NEXT WEEK. We're off from July 3rd thru July 7th, so after this Friday, your next HG email will show up on Monday, July 10th!
