Ronaldo has said he would retire from the game in 2011 once his deal with Corinthians ends. The former PSV, Barcelona, Inter, Real Madrid and Milan striker announced his plans to stop from playing in a press conference in Brazil. “I renewed my contract for another two years and this will be my last,” Ronaldo said. “I will play until December 31st, 2011 and then I will retire from playing football. “I want to give my maximum for Corinthians and to finish my career having won something important with this shirt.” He won the Player of the Year award thrice during his career. Reports suggest the striker would be offered a director’s role at the club once he retires.
Chinese Government Agencies Certify Bitstream Stroke Font for Licensing and Use in PRC
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Bitstream Inc. (NASDAQ: BITS) today announced that it has received official Chinese certification for its GB18030-2005 stroke font from the SLC (State Language Committee) and the CITS/CESI (Committee on Information Technology Standards/China Electronics Standardization Institute).
The SLC and CITS/CESI are Chinese standards groups that approve multilingual fonts for distribution within the People’s Republic of China. The GB18030-2005 font currently includes over 31,400 characters and supports Chinese, Mongolian, Tibetan, Yi and Uyghur. The GB18030-2005 certified compact stroke-based font is just under 1 MB in size – less than one-tenth the size of a traditional TrueType Asian font. It integrates seamlessly with Bitstream’s best-of-breed Font Fusion font rendering engine.
This small file size allows resource-constrained handsets to support scalable Chinese text, enabling modern fluid user interfaces with text displayed at a multitude of sizes and orientations for applications such as mobile maps. The font’s small footprint offers the additional benefit of extra free memory and processing power that can extend the functionality of mobile devices and applications intended for the Chinese market.
Many of the thousands of Asian characters share common radicals. In order to create the smallest possible file size, Bitstream created a stroke-based font technology using an efficient data representation that utilizes and shares these common elements between characters.
“We are thrilled that our newest Chinese Stroke Font has been approved by the PRC government’s standards groups,” said Anna Magliocco-Chagnon, Bitstream President and CEO. “The rapid growth of the Chinese consumer market has caught the attention of developers and OEMs around the globe. Our certified font solution makes it easy for them to quickly introduce products to the Chinese market.”

Overture Continues to Deliver Innovation with the Addition of Integrated Differential Timing for Optical Ethernet and Mobile Backhaul
RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Overture Networks, the industry’s trusted Carrier Ethernet solutions provider, today announced the addition of 1588v2 differential timing to both its UTS4000 Ethernet Edge Platform and UTX8500 Pseudowire Gateway. IEEE 1588v2 is becoming the preferred industry-standard protocol for precision timing for applications such as high-performance DS1 pseudowire over Ethernet. High performance DS1 pseudowire is especially critical for mobile backhaul applications where latency, jitter and wander requirements are particularly stringent.
“Service providers often require an Ethernet access solution that supports high performance DS1’s in addition to best in class Ethernet connectivity for converged mobile backhaul and for carrier-grade enterprise services,” said Dave Stehlin, President of Overture Networks. “Both the UTS4000 and UTX8500 combine these advanced performance elements with the highest industry standards to allow our customers the most cost-effective and easy-to-implement Ethernet transport solution. As Carrier Ethernet deployments continue to grow, Overture products play an increasingly important role in the new network. ”
The Overture UTS4000 product family enables converged Ethernet services and up to 24 pseudowire DS1s over native Ethernet transport. The UTS4000 platform is ideal for mobile backhaul or network backhaul requiring carrier-class Ethernet with fine-grain CoS and SONET-quality DS1 transport over Gigabit Ethernet or any other native Ethernet transport. The UTS4000 series, which is already MEF18 certified in adaptive mode, now offers the additional option of integrated 1588v2 differential mode timing.
The UTS 4000 can be paired with the Overture Networks UTX8500 PWE gateway to allow carriers to enable a 1588v2 solution without the cost and complexity of deploying separate 1588v2 timing servers. The UTX8500 PWE gateway is the industry’s largest scale, most cost effective solution; supporting 1,000 protected DS1s in a completely redundant system. The UTX8500 leverages existing BITS or SONET line timing to deliver an integrated 1588v2 timing master server which supports up to 500 remotes.

"PingRestaurant is located at Moscow Square by the foot of Rose Hill, where the 1st, the 2nd and the 12th districts meet. Its a rather convenient place to find on trams 4 and 6, and on other trams like 18, 56, 57 and 61. More than ten bus lines run there too. It is also connected to the No.2 “red” metro line. The city’s most important sights like the BudaCastle with the Fishermen’s Bastion or the Danube embankment are only a few minutes away. Next to Moscow Square you can also find the Mammut Mall shopping centre.
PingRestaurant’s interior design has a distinct Chinese flavour, yet it is subdued and elegant, with modern lighting fixtures that give it an intimate feel. And there are of course all the requisites of a classical Chinese restaurant: delicate chinaware, comfortable seats, beautiful plants, even an elegant fish-tank.
One part of the restaurant has a glass roof that can be opened, so this space has the atmosphere of a small inner courtyard. This is where you can find a pond with goldfish, a small rock garden, plants and waterfall. On hot summer days when the roof is open, it is nice to sit here and enjoy the cool breeze.
On chilly winter days, no matter how freezing it is outside guests can just sit and relax, watching the fish and the waterfall and your heart fills with the hope of the coming spring.
Ping restaurant, which was opened in January 1997, can accommodate 100 patrons at a time. With its location it attracts many expats and locals living in the 1st, the 2nd and the 12th districts. It often welcomes Chinese delegations coming from mainlandChina.
The Chinese name of our restaurant is “YI-HE Restaurant”. This unusual name is said to symbolize the restaurants deepest concern: the well-being of its guests. This authentic restaurant offers more than just the flavours of a narrow region of China: guests can enjoy the best of typical Chinese cuisine, and also quite a few 'house specialities': meals that have been invented to meet the demands of Chinese clients, and some that cater for the Hungarian public.
Chinese tourist groups coming to Hungary often make Pink their home from home, since it is the chef’s special concern to treat them with the tastes he knows they like best. They have the policy of saying that no matter where a guest comes from, they will not leave disappointed.
Ping is proud of the numerous Hungarian celebrities have eaten there. Apparently among regular visitors are MPs, ministers, foreign diplomats, artists, actors, sportsmen, well-known media personalities. It is a real reward for all these years of hard work that our restaurant is said by many to be the best Chinese restaurant in Budapest.
Chinese guests coming from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and other countries also seem to be content with our food and service. There are times when Chinese tourist groups start and end their Europe round tour in Budapest, having their first and final meals at Ping. The restaurant manager says he can often hear these groups say: “The best meals of the whole tour were the two in Budapest!”
In 2000 the Hungarian Caterers’ Association decided to make a list of the best Hungarian restaurants, in response to the “black list of Hungarian restaurants” that the US Embassy published then. They did a thorough job collecting ideas from the public to make a comprehensive “roll of honour”.
To the joy of the team at Ping their restaurant was selected, and received at that time the official recommendation of the Hungarian Caterers’ Association. A truly prestigious award considering that from all the Chinese restaurants and over a hundred Chinese fast food restaurants here, only Ping was found worthy of this honour."

Joannie RochetteVancouver 2010, A gutsy heart felt performance by Joannie Rochette who held her nerve for three incredible minutes, brought a lump to the throat of everyone who watched her performance in the Olympicice skating competition.
The Canadian star stole the show after dissolving into tears following a near faultless performance just two days after her mother’s sudden death. It leaves the skater in third place at the half way stage. The six time Canadian champion left all her troubles behind her for the three minute routine of her sultry performance to La Cumparsita.
After the performance the crowd went wild and the calm skater could then not hold back her tears. As she waited for the results she was in the arms of her coach Manon Perron as she received a total of 71.36 putting her just behind Yuna and Japan’s Mao Asada. Rochette said after that she will remember it “forever.” She added that she received a lovely welcome.
Gwalior:Sachin Tendulkar Becomes First to Hit 200 in ODI History,Sachin Tendulkar became the first man ever to score double hundred in one-dayers when he unlocked the game’s biggest and most awaited milestone versus South Africa at Gwalior on Wednesday.
Tendulkar reached the historic landmark off just 147 deliveries, and having already treated the capacity crowd and millions of television viewers to 25 sublime hits to the fence and three mighty sixes, Tendulkar without taking the foot off the accelerator pedal throughout his saga.
This achievement came in the last over, and shortly after Tendulkar had achieved the highest ever score in one-dayers when, with a single to short-fine left, he overtook Saeed Anwar’s 13-year old record of 194 runs.
South Africa seemed to have got some respite when India lost the wicket of power-hitterYusuf Pathan just when his partnership with Sachin Tendulkar was beginning to take threatening proportions for the visitors.
Pathan’s wicket in the 41st over came against the run of play to Roelf van der Merve and after India had already amassed 300 runs.
The run-fest for India at Gwalior continued as undeterred by Dinesh Karthik’s loss, Tendulkar continued his rich vein of form, after having raced away to 150 runs off just 118 balls.
Alongwith Pathan, Tendulkar compounded South Africa’s woes mercilessly with an 81 run-partnership for the third wicket off 47 balls.
Even after Pathan’s dismissal, Tendulkar maintained the pressure on South Africans and after 43 overs, India, at 322/3, looked on course for a massive total.
However, their hardly proved to be any relief for South Africa as Mahendra Singh Dhoni then continued from where Pathan had left and with a 29-ball half-century, knocked the stuffing out of the hapless visitors.
Karthik had earlier, missed out on a well-deserved hundred when he scooped out a tame catch to Gibbs at mid-wicket. Having played the perfect foil to an unstoppable Sachin Tendulkar during their second-wicket partnership that fetched 194 runs off just 177 balls, Karthik helped himself to a career best 79 runs, but fell just when his maiden one-day century seemed to be their for the taking.
Karthik lasted 85 balls during his stroke-filled stay that was punctuated with 4 boundaries and 3 sixes.
Gwalior was playing witness to a vintage Tendulkar, as the Master Blaster from Mumbai, continued to turn the heat on the South Africans in the second one-dayer of the three match series here on Wednesday.
Tendulkar, who is enduring a purple patch off late, in Tests as well as the ODIs, had smashed his 46th century of this format off just 90 balls, pulverizing the Proteas bowler ruthlessly into submission.
Despite losing his opening partner Virender Sehwag early, Tendulkar took it upon himself to provide the early momentum, plucking boundaries at will as India raced away to 176/1 after 28 overs.
While Karthik provided solidity to the partnership, Tendulkar was the plunderer.
Some of his shots, like a flick to a delivery from outside the off-stump, the ferocious pull s over mid-wicket, drives- lofted as well as grounded, were the stuff that gave ample proof of the genius Tendulkar was bestowed with, as he had raced away to his half-century off just 37 balls.
His ‘lofted on the up’ shot over mid-off was particularly reminiscent of the Tendulkar of yore.
Karthik also helped himself to a solid half-century, his land-mark coming off 57 deliveries.
Earlier, after Dhoni had won the toss and elected to bat, India had not made the most auspicious of starts to the match losing Sehwag in just the fourth over with just 25 runs on the board.
Having hit 2 fours already, Sehwag, tried to slash over the point off Wayne Parnell, but failed to beat the third-man where Dale Steyn took a well-judged catch. Meanwhile, after Sehwag recovered from injury he sustained in the last match, India, lead 1-0 in the three-match series, retained the same side that played the last match at Jaipur where as South Africans made three changes in their squad.
J P Duminy, who has been out of form throughout the Test series, came into the side Bosman. Prolific scorer Hashim Amla and all-rounder Van der Merwe were also named in the final XI.
Teams
South Africa (Playing XI): Hashim Amla, Herschelle Gibbs, Jacques Kallis(c), AB de Villiers, Jean-Paul Duminy, Alviro Petersen, Mark Boucher(w), Roelof van der Merwe, Wayne Parnell, Dale Steyn, Charl Langeveldt

Over 30 per cent of children receive help with school fees, whether that is from a scholarship or a bursary from the school itself. The good news is that bursaries are on the increase since the government’s ruling via the Charity Commission that private schools that are registered charities must offer more free or subsidised places to children from low income families. This is inkeeping with the tradition of private schools, many of which were founded along charitable lines.
DulwichCollege in London was established in the early 17th century for poor scholars aged from six to 18. Its founder, Edward Alleyn, stipulated that each pupil should wear a coat made from ‘a good cloth of sad colour’ and that they should dine on boiled beef, cheese, loaves and apple pie. Rations were increased on ‘gawdy dais’ and three days a week the pupils enjoyed ‘beere without stint’.
Clearly much has changed (and the beer may not be on tap), but Dulwich is one of a number of schools that is using its assets to become 'needs blind'. In other words, it will offer places to pupils based on merit not ability to pay, thus creating more 'free places' for bright but poor children. Graham Able, the master, comments: “We originally thought that it would take us 30 years to reach a fully needs-blind admission process but we now think it may be possible to get there in 15." The school will fund this initiative through its endowment income of £2.3 million a year, which is generated from the Dulwich estate.
Free places at top schools
Last year Eton announced a fundraising drive to raise £50 million to subsidise "academically gifted" boys whose parents could not afford the fees. BenendenSchool in Kent, where the Princess Royal was educated, has set up a Trust to raise money to create a number of 100 per cent free places offered to local primary school children. These will be means-tested and last for seven years, subject to yearly review.
City independents also offer a wide range of assistance for pupils. At ManchesterGrammar School, 200 boys now receive full or part bursaries. Assistance is given on a sliding scale for those parents who have an income of £36,250 or more that can be assessed. Boys whose parents have an income of less than £16,200 will receive full assistance. At the RoyalGrammar School in Newcastle, bursaries are means-tested and can provide up to 100 per cent assistance with fees.
Clearly it's not all about altruism: private schools gain huge tax breaks through their charitable status and through offering places based on ability the schools will ensure they attract the academic crème de la crème. During the credit crunch, though, bursaries in particular may help families who are feeling the pinch to keep their children in the private system until they finish their exams. They're also a lifeline to those in need or going through a time of crisis, as our case study illustrates.
Source: Gail Dixon is the editor of http://www.tom-brown.com/ - the essential guide to choosing a school in the UK
Record numbers of pupils are applying for university or aspire to attend, according to new research. Around 77 per cent of students aged 11 to 16 believe it likely that they will go into higher education, up from 72 per cent in 2008, and Ucas reports that university applications are up 10 per cent this year.
This rise in applications has created a shortfall in places of up to 52,000. Educationalists believe that an increase in the number of mature students applying to do a degree has placed added pressure on university entrance (applications from British over-25s are up 22 per cent year on year). There are, however, only 3000 extra places available at British universities this year, and the Government has capped this number to limit spending.
British students also face stiff competition from superb EU students keen to study in Britain. Data released in June revealed a surge of 16.4 per cent in such applications this year and that many were coming from France and Germany.
The consequences for those UK pupils who fail to get the grades in August could be dire, as Vice Chancellors warn of tightening in entrance criteria and a decrease in the number of places handed out through clearing.
Dr Helen Wright, headteacher of leading independent school St Mary's, Calne, comments: "It has been increasingly tough for school leavers to get into university for the past few years. As a result, I think it is very important for university to be a conscious and considered choice for school leavers. Too many people just fall into university rather than think carefully about whether they really want to go, what it will mean for them for the next few years, and what they hope to get out of it.
"The drop out rate is high on far too many courses, and this wastes everyone's time. Schools should be very active in helping potential students really understand their choices and what they want to do with their lives, as well as supporting them to help them find either the course or career path that best suits them."
What is university for?
Dr Martin Stephen, High Master of St Paul's School in London, believes that collectively we have not given enough consideration to the function of university. "It's short-termism. We have sent hundreds of thousands of people to university without asking ‘what is a university for' and ‘what is a degree for'? Is it to prepare people for a top-level job; is it to provide the next generation of research students; is it a finishing school or is it a way of keeping people off the dole?
"The problem is, university has become market-driven instead of having a social drive. For example, we need more engineers and science students in the UK and fewer media studies graduates, but it now comes down to what the applicant wants to study not what the country needs."
Dr Stephen is seeing worrying social trends emerging among young people as a result of this lack of focus. "There's a lot of dissent from young people with good degrees and poor job prospects. You end up with huge numbers of graduates with massive debts working in McDonald's selling hamburgers for a manager who, as a peer, left school at 18 and decided not to go to university."
Debt defying
Clearly, the current economic downturn and scarcity of graduate jobs has spurred more children on to aim for higher education. It's notable, also, that only 13 per cent of the children surveyed by The Sutton Trust were "worried about getting into debt as a student" in comparison with 20 per cent of respondents last year.
The survey also revealed that children do not think they're getting enough information from teachers about going into higher education. Around 31 per cent said they are either getting "not very much information" and nine per cent said that they got "none at all".
Sir Peter Lampl, Chairman of the Sutton Trust, says: "While it is encouraging that three quarters of young people aspire to university, less than half that number currently end up in higher education and those from poorer families are the least likely to progress. So we need to offer more support to young people throughout their education so that they are in a position to realise their ambitions at 18 and beyond."

>>Can we have images above or next to our ads?
>> Yes, but include a border line between the ads and use generic ads.
From AdSense Advisor...
Placing images above AdSense ads is not necessarily prohibited by program policies. However, depending on the method of implementation this could be considered `encouraging users to click on ads'. Encouraging users to click on the Google ads appearing on your site is prohibited by AdSense program policies. The reason for this is to prevent artificial inflation of advertiser costs. This benefits both advertisers and publishers by preserving the integrity of the network, and maintaining its long-term viability.

>>How do I change my Email Address / login?
>> 1. Create a new email. If possible, use the email address currently associated with your AdSense account
2. Write 'Login change request' as the subject of your message3. Include the following in the body of your message:* The email address currently associated with your account* The date of the first day your account registered AdSense impressions* The number of page impressions registered on your first day of impressions4.Send the email to adsense-support@Google.com
>>My 'Aggregate' clicks are about 15% more than the sum of all my channel clicks. Why do I have missing clicks?
>> If you are using URL channels, some of these clicks could have been generated from cached versions of your page appearing in search engine results. Also, someone might be framing your content so the clicks are attributable to a different URL. Using 'www' in your URL channel can also have an effect on tracking. If you are using custom channels, it is likely that one of your ad units might not be attributable to a channel.
:::Some Questions Related To CPM & CPC Ads:::
>>What is CPC Ads V/S CPM Ads?
>> Cost-per-click (CPC) and cost-per-thousand-impression (CPM). When AdWords advertisers bid on a CPM basis, their ads will compete against CPC ads to display on your pages. Our technology automatically displays whichever ad will generate the maximum revenue for that page, so these ads should only improve your site's revenue potential. If a CPM ad appears on your site, you will be paid each time it appears on your page, not every 1000 times. The term 'cost-per-thousand-impressions' refers to they way AdWords advertisers bid on these Ads. For example, an AdWords advertiser might bid $X for 1000 ad impressions. If this ad appears on your site through the AdSense program, you will receive 1/1000 of $X each time the ad appears. This type of ad will only show on your site if it represents more revenue potential than a CPC Ads.
>>Can we view CPM ads on our own site?
>> You are permitted to view CPM ads appearing on your pages without the risk of creating invalid ad impressions.
>>How could I be make money from no click?
>> With CPM ads these Ads are Cost Per Month Ads.
>>Why does the page eCPM goes down as day progresses?
>> The ads which pay higher can end because they reach their daily limit.
:::Some More Questions About Getting Away Of BAN From Adsense:::
>>How do I keep away from getting terminated of Adsense?
>> Do use the Adsense approved formats only.
>> Do keep your click-through data and income private.
>> Don't display Adsense on registration or thank you pages.
>> Don't use Adsense code and a competitor's content-targeted advertisement on the same page.
The easiest method an account can be banned is by a Webmaster clicking on the site's own ads.
Spikes in click-through percentages are hefty red flags. Those are the changes worth becoming proactive over by emailing Google Adsense. A site that rises from a consistent 1% click-through rate to a 10% click-through rate on one day could become suspect. The actual percentage that creates the flag isn't made public for obvious reasons.
>>What if I get denied when I sign-up and Google says I got banned before, yet I've never used AdSense?
>> If you get this E-Mail....
Your AdSense account was found to be related to an account previously disabled for invalid click activity. A publisher who has an account that has been disabled for invalid clicks is not allowed further participation in the AdSense program. And you've never used AdSense before try to figure out WHY they might be thinking you were once banned. IP Address? Owning a domain that was once owned by a user that cheated AdSense?? Once you figure out the cause, send them a nicely worded explanation, and cross your fingers.
>> How Much Can I Earn From Google Adsense?>>Google does not disclose exactly how much you'll earn per ad that is clicked. The commission you receive per click depends on how much advertisers are paying Google for the particular Ad You will earn a share of that amount. I've heard of earnings anywhere from 2 cents to $15 per click. So it is logical to believe that keyword phrases like debt free, employment, make money, mp3, sex,etc. will earn you more per click since these are highly competitive keywords that are searched for quite a bit on the web. Advertisers generally pay more for popular terms because they are searched for more. Even though Google will not reveal how much you are earning for each ad that is clicked from your site, you can still login to your account at any time and see the total amount of revenue you've generated that day, week, month, year, etc. For example, if you see that you've made $12.60 today from 9 clicks then you can calculate that your average click-thru commission was $1.40 per click. That's as detailed as their stats will get. Also remember, that's only an average. You won't know how much each specific ad brought in.

Next time you join a program, read the Terms & Conditions CAREFULLY.
>>Does high CTR mean elimination from Adsense?
>> probably not. It shows your site is much optimized. It's when you have a massive spike that you want to worry about it. One thing to worry about is getting click-bombed. If you average 100 clicks a day, and suddenly get a 500 click day, contact Google immediately.
>>Can affiliate text links be on the same page as AdSense?
>> Yes. Though if you join programs that look like AdSense, such as Yahoo ad program, where the ads show content related to the page, you can't have them on the same page as Google.
>>Can I place Yahoo and Google ads on the same site?
>> Yes, BUT, they can not be on the same page. And you can have it random, one time Yahoo, and another time Google. Just don't have them both show up on the same page.
