HINDI KAVITA:- Humko Mohabbat Hai Zindgi Se

Apno se juda kar deti hai,
Aakhon mein paani bhar deti hai,
Kitni shikayat hai zindgi se.
Phir bhi iska aitbaar hai,
Phir bhi iska intzaar hai,
Humko mohabbat hai zindgi se.
Kabhi khushiyon ka mela lagta hai,
Kabhi har koi akela lagta hai.
Kabhi humpe karam pharmati hai,
Kabhi humse nazar churati hai.
Palkon se isko chakhte hain,
Isey pass hi apne rakhte hain,
Itni nazakat hai zindgi se,
Humko mohabbat hai zindgi se.
Humko adaayein dikhati hai ye,
Jeena bhi humko sikhati hai ye.
Kabhi paas hai to kabhi door hai,
Ye zindgi bhi badi mashhoor hai.
Kabhi karti hai aankh micholi,
kabhi sajaye sapno ki doli,
Itni shararat hai zindgi se.
Humko mohabbat hai zindgi se.
Door ye ho to ghum hota hai,
Pass ho to iska karam hota hai.
Khud apni marzi se chalti hai,
Suraj ki tarah se ye dhalti hai.
Isey jab bhi hum dekhte hain,
Mann hi mann ye sochte hain,
Kitni hifazat hai zindgi se.
Humko mohabbat hai zindgi se.
Aansu bhi ho to pee lete hain,
Pal do pal khushi se jee lete hain.
Har pal humko nahi hai roka,
Thoda humko bhi deti mouka.
Zindgi gujar jaaye taqraar mein,
Chahe gujar jaaye ye pyaar mein,
Itni izazat hai zindgi se.
Humko mohabbat hai zindgi se.

MAA

MAA
Zindagi ki tapti dhoop mai ek thanda saya paya hai mai ne
Jab kholi aankh to apni maa ko muskorata howa paya hai mai ne
Jab bhi maa ka naam liya,
Os ka beshomaar pyar paya hai mai ne
Jab koi dard mehsoos howa, jab koi mushkil aayi
Apne pehlo mai apni maa ko paya hai mai ne
Jaagti rahi who raat bhar mere liye
Jaane kitni raatein, osay jagaya hai mai ne
Zindagi ke har moadh(mor) par, jab howi gumrah mai
Iski hidaayat par, pakarli seedhi raah mai ne
Jis ki dua se har moseebat loat jaye,
Aisa farishta paya hai mai ne
Meri har fiker ko janne wali,
Mere jazbaaton ko pehcanne wali,
Aisi hasti payi hai mai ne
Meri zindagi sirf meri maa hai,
Isi ke liye to,
Is zindagi ki shama jala rakkhi hai mai ne

NAGPUR NEWS:-Singapore, Malaysia flights likely from Nagpur

Read more:Mihan India Limited|Low Cost Flights|Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport|Air India Express

NAGPUR: Dr Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport at Nagpur is 'international' only for the record, with only one flight operating to foreign shores from here in the last two years. However, if officials of Mihan India Limited (MIL), the airport operator company, are to be believed, Nagpur may soon be connected again with international destinations like Singapore, Bangkok and Malaysia.

Along with this, Air India Express may resume international flight between Dubai and Nagpur. This route will be serviced by a flight on the Mumbai-Nagpur-Ahmedabad-Dubai sector. "The airline discontinued its service in January last year, but has now started putting in place plans to resume services from Nagpur," sources at the airport informed.

MIL officials have recently approached and requested Air Asia, world's largest international low cost airline, to start flights for designations like Singapore, Bangkok and Malaysia. A senior MIL official confirmed the offer extended to Air Asia officials to get all international facilities at Nagpur airport.

The Nagpur airport had achieved its aviation high some two years ago, with flights to four international destinations Qatar Airways to Doha, Air India Express to Dubai, Air India on Hyderabad-Nagpur-Bangkok sector and Air Arabia for Sharjah.

However, international connectivity went down fast, with private airline Qatar Airways discontinuing its Doha operations first. Then, Air India suspended operations on Hyderabad-Nagpur-Bangkok sector and Air India Express too discontinued the Dubai operations some time back. Presently, Air Arabia to Sharjah is the only international flight operated from the city.

An MIL official said requesting anonymity, "It was a wrong decision or a decision forced by the then civil aviation minister Praful Patel on Qatar Airways and Air India, mandating full fare flights on flights to Doha and Bangkok."

Though officials of both airlines said the reason to discontinue the flights were 'operational', sources confirmed that poor load factor, especially for full fare flights from the city and nearby cities, had forced the airlines to discontinue the flight.

An aviation industry expert said, "Initially, the flights received tremendous response from passengers as it attracted nearly 80% passengers from neighbouring states like Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. It was convenient for these passengers to take a low-cost domestic flight or even travel by bus/train to Nagpur and board the flight to Dubai and Sharjah."

Air India flight to Bangkok was also operating at full load factor as it got passenger from both Hyderabad and Nagpur.

NAGPUR NEWS:-RTO office soon at east Nagpur


RTO office soon at east Nagpur

NAGPUR: The state government has finally approved the long-pending proposal of a deputy regional transport office (Dy RTO) office in east Nagpur. The government issued an order to this effect on August 24.

For the new office, 35 new posts have been sanctioned, including one each of deputy RTO and assistant RTO, four posts of motor vehicle inspectors and three of assistant motor vehicle inspectors.

The transport department was planning one more regional transport office in the city to cater to the growing vehicular population. The proposal was mooted for the convenience of people and to ease congestion at the transport department office.

Talking to TOI, RTO Vijay Lande said that the vacant bus depot land in Small Factory area on Old Bhandara Road has been proposed for new office. The state government has sanctioned Rs 54.98 lakh which will be allocated in winter session of state assembly at Nagpur for the said project. Geographically, the eastern side of the railway line that passes through city will be the jurisdiction of new transport office.

The city RTO deals with over 11 lakh vehicles as on date. Close to 400 vehicles a day are added to the city streets every day, said Lande. He further said that the RTO issues 150 permits to goods and passenger carrier vehicles, 300 permanent driving licences, 400 learners licences and 10 international driving licences per day.

Lande said, "With the new office, getting a learners licence, permanent licence and other RTO related work will become easier for east Nagpurians. A computerized test facility will also be set up."

For the computerization, the state government has earmarked Rs 2.46 crore for the project, implementation of which has already begun in 14 RTOs including Mumbai Central, Andheri, Thane, Kalyan, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Raigad and some others. It will be expanded to 10 more RTOs including Nagpur and east Nagpur.

East Nagpur MLA Krishna Khopde was pursuing the matter since last two years. He had raised the issue through a call attention motion in the state assembly on March 29, 2010. Initiating action on the long pending proposal, state government has sanctioned two such offices in state, one at east Nagpur and another in chief minister Prithviraj Chavan's constituency Karad in Satara district.

Talking to TOI, Khopde said, "The present RTO office was set up in the city when population was around 3 lakh. Now the city's population has crossed almost 25 lakh and vehicles has crossed the figure of 10 lakh. The present RTO office was falling short of catering to the needs of people. Hopefully, the new office will ease some of that pressure."

LOVE POEMS_LOVE SMS

special word

A special world for you and me
A special bond one cannot see
It wraps us up in its cocoon
And holds us fiercely in its womb.

Its fingers spread like fine spun gold
Gently nestling us to the fold
Like silken thread it holds us fast
Bonds like this are meant to last.

And though at times a thread may break
A new one forms in its wake
To bind us closer and keep us strong
In a special world, where we belong.



An Entrapment


My love, I have tried with all my being
to grasp a form comparable to thine own,
but nothing seems worthy;

I know now why Shakespeare could not
compare his love to a summer’s day.
It would be a crime to denounce the beauty
of such a creature as thee,
to simply cast away the precision
God had placed in forging you.

Each facet of your being
whether it physical or spiritual
is an ensnarement
from which there is no release.
But I do not wish release.
I wish to stay entrapped forever.
With you for all eternity.
Our hearts, always as one.
Flowers open to see you.
Rains drop to touch you.
The sun rises to cherish you.
I am born to love you.

I love you.

————————

Winds whisper in my ear,
here is the love of your life,
which you were searching for,
Don’t let it go anywhere,
Go and hold this love tightly,
and keep it into your heart
for always.

—————————-

You are the joy of my life,
You are the smile of my face,
I live to see you,
Your warm smile gives me strength,
Don’t you ever leave me.

I love You.

————————–

My life is for you,
My heart beats for you,
My soul goes on love you,
My eyes always wants to see you,
My lips wants the touch of yours,
I exist only for you…..

—————————

Darling!

If flowers could express my heart,
I send you yellow flowers to always be with me ,
Pink tulips to bring happiness in my life,
Red flowers for always living in my life,

This bunch shows you are everything to me.
I love you…..

MIHAN NEWS :- Nagpur cargo hub stuck in slow lane

MIHAN NEWS :- Nagpur cargo hub stuck in slow lane
In April 2007, J.N. Patel, a Bombay high court judge, struck a deal with Mumbai-based Hogwood Commercial Developers, the real estate arm of Provogue India Ltd, to sell 44 acres of land owned by his family on the outskirts of Nagpur for Rs. crore.

The deal was reported widely, signalling Nagpur’s transformation from a sleepy provincial town to a city alive with commercial promise.

More land deals in and around the zero-mile city, so-called because it’s located in the geographic centre of the subcontinental land mass, took place in quick succession, anticipating that the proposed multinodal international cargo hub at Nagpur (Mihan) would transform the economic landscape of the Vidarbha region, infamous for farmers’ suicides.

But delays in the implementation of the project seem to have put a halt to the rise in property prices.

Sprawling across 4,354 ha (hectares), Mihan envisages an international passenger and cargo hub, a multi-product special economic zone (SEZ) and various industries that will seek to take advantage of commerce that is likely to be generated by a transport centre.

Ahead of the last general elections in 2009, three political leaders sought to take credit for bringing the project to the orange city.

They were then civil aviation minister Praful Patel, Bharatiya Janata Party​ (BJP) national president Nitin Gadkari​ and Union minister and member of Parliament (MP) from Nagpur, Vilas Muttemwar​, of the Congress party.

Maharashtra’s economic survey for 2010-11 even said that the project would attract $20 billion (around Rs. 90,000 crore) investment over the next five years and create 120,000 lakh direct jobs with around 300,000 lakh being employed indirectly.

The project is being developed by Mihan India Pvt. Ltd (Mihan-IPL), a joint venture of the government of India-owned Airport Authority of India (AAI) and Maharashtra government-owned Maharashtra Airport Development Co. Ltd (MADC).

At least 50 companies, including American aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co.’s local unit Boeing India, Mahindra Satyam, HCL Technologies Ltd, DLF Ltd​ and Tata Consultancy Services Ltd bought 700ha of land in the proposed SEZ. None of the companies has started work at their sites yet. Boeing India president Dinesh Keskar​ said the MRO facility was on track and would be ready by December with two hangars for repairing planes.

The aircraft manufacturer has committed to investing $100 million to develop the MRO facility for Air India, which is buying 68 planes from Boeing. At this juncture, the company won’t (be) able to offer any timeline regarding starting operations at Nagpur,” said an HCL spokesperson.

The other companies mentioned above didn’t respond to queries about their plans.

Shapoorji Pallonji and Co. Ltd started building a software park but has stopped work and closed its site office. The company didn’t respond to requests for comment.

Boeing was to set up its maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) base to cater to planes of airlines in south and southeast Asia but work has not yet begun at the site.

U.P.S. Madan, MADC vice-chairman and managing director, is optimistic. “The SEZ project did not take off as many companies put their expansion plans on hold following the 2008 crisis but I have met the firms recently and they are still keen on the project,” he said.

The airport project needs 150 acres of land for which Madan is negotiating with farmers.

“We need to invest hugely in the airport project and the lease rental received from companies in the SEZ will come in handy,” he said. “We plan to aggressively market the SEZ.”

Vilas Kale, president of local industry body, the Vidarbha Economic Development Council, has been pushing the state government to market the project. “The government must expedite the process to build the international airport,” he said.

Muttemwar, the local MP, blamed the state government and civil aviation ministry for the delay. “The feasibility report of the project was received by the state government in 2002 and it appointed MADC as a nodal agency but the civil aviation ministry took six years to transfer the Nagpur airport to the joint venture,” he said.

Former aviation minister Patel said the state government was responsible. “The airport was handed over to Mihan-IPL three years ago but the state government did not take any initiative to start it.” He also said that it was his persuasion that led Boeing to locate the MRO facility in Nagpur in order to make the international airport project viable.

As civil aviation minister, Patel would have been in a position to influence Boeing at a time when the US plane maker was negotiating to sell planes to state-run Air India. Mihan isn’t facing much resistance over land acquisition with farmers quite willing to sell provided they are compensated at the market rate. Out of 4354ha. of land required, nearly 3500 ha. is already in Mihan-IPL’s possession.

“We will not give up possession till we are adequately compensated for the project,” said Baba Daware, a farmer from Shivangaon village. Justice Patel’s family sold the land at Rs. 2.38 crore per acre. Daware wants at least half that rate but the government is not willing to offer more than 5%. Elected representatives from Nagpur had initiated a dialogue between farmers and the state government and reached an agreement on the compensation package in 2008 but the government has not implemented it as yet, said local Member of the Legislative Assembly Devendra Fadnvis.

With the Mihan project yet to make headway, property prices have stalled after having risen in Nagpur and its neighbourhood.

Stamp duty collections show the trend in transactions over the years. According to the office of the inspector general of stamp duty and registration this amounted to Rs. 227.11 crore from 82,437 property transactions in fiscal 2010. In fiscal 2011, Rs. 297.47 crore was collected as stamp duty from 94,185 deals. In the quarter to June, Rs. 79.62 crore was collected in stamp duty from 24,646 transactions.

Higher government salaries after the implementation of the Sixth Pay Commission’s recommendations and new employment opportunities at the Buttibori industrial estate were responsible for the rise in prices, said Anshuman Sahstrabhojani, a Nagpur-based builder.

The rise in property prices has halted for the time being and many Mumbai and Nagpur-based builders, who bought large land parcels on the outskirts of the city, have put their plans on hold till the Mihan project shows some progress, he said.

The boom has also led to some of the constructions coming under a cloud, according to Anil Wadpalliwar, a social activist.

He’s filed a public interest litigation saying that at least 3,500 unauthorized flats outside Nagpur Municipal Corporation limits have been built with no water supply, sewage disposal system or access roads and should be demolished. The Nagpur bench of the Bombay high court has asked the district collector to conduct an inquiry into the matter and submit a report to the court.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, learning from failure.

The happiest person doesn't have the best of everything in life. Perhaps he is just good in making the best of everything

The beauty of life does not depend on how happy you are, but on how happy others can be.. because of you.

We are never given dream without also being given the power to make them come true.

Learn to appreciate the rainbow after cursing the rain. It's just like loving again after experiencing the pain

Be satisfied with life But, unsatisfied with The results you produce. That's the best way to keep Growing and discover ur hidden potential.

Holding on to anything is like holding on to your breath. You will suffocate. The only way to get anything in the physical universe

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you

In life it doesn't matter what people say about you, but what matters most is what you say about yourself.

If you want something bad enough you'll eventually get it you just have to fight for what you want.And don't give up

We weren't born to follow we were born to stand for what we believe in life is not about giving up or giving in, it's about doing the right

Remember to every success or achievement there is working power behind it. Desire and passion of your heart will push you there.

You can't see the sun if you don't look up. Often times in life you will wake up in a dark place. It's up to you to turn on the light.

You can't keep running from you problems. Soon enough you are going to have to stand strong and fight them.

The superior person can hold two contradictory thoughts simultaneously and still continue to function. You need a long term vision combined.....

I hope you feel deep in your heart
As your birthdays come & go
How very much u mean to me
More than u can know.

It must have been a rainy day when you were born, but it wasn’t really rain, the sky was crying because it lost his most beautiful angel… happy birthday dear friend.

May you have all the joy your heart can hold, All the smiles a day can bring, All the blessings a life can unfold, May you have Gods best in everything. Wishing u a Happy Birthday.

Google's +1 finally useful for sharing content

Since launching in June Google’s +1 button has been integrated on more than a million sites around the web and garners more than 4 billion views per day, but up until now there has been little incentive for users to click on Google’s answer to the Facebook “Like” button. Google has
decided to make the +1 button more useful by adding several new features that will appeal to Google+ users and and web publishers alike.

The +1 button has been given “sharing” and “+snippets” functionality, meaning that users can easily comment on, share and post about web content they “+1” with their Google+ circles.

“Clicking the +1 button is a great way to highlight content for others when they search on Google,” explained Google Senior Vice President of Engineering Vic Gundotra. “But sometimes you want to start a conversation right away at least with certain groups of friends. So beginning today, we're making it easy for Google+ users to share webpages with their circles, directly from the +1 button. Just +1 a page as usual and look for the new "Share on Google+" option. From there you can comment, choose a circle and share.”

Sharing content on Google+ with the +1 button will automatically create a “+snippet” a link to the web content, an image and a short description that can be posted in a user’s Google+ sharebox, explained Gundotra.

While Google claims its +1 buttons are getting more than 4 billion daily views on sites around the web it still trails behind Facebook and its popular “Like” button.

According to Google’s recently released View Ad Planner Top 1000 most visited sites on the web list for June, Facebook is the most visited site in the world with 870 million unique visitors and one trillion page views for the month. Twitter ranks 14th on the list with 160 million unique visitors and 5.9 billion page views.

A global roll-out of Google’s +1 sharing and +snippets will take place over the next week, but impatient users can sign up to the Google+ Platform Preview to get early access to the features.

“Once you're part of the Preview, just visit a site with the +1 button (like Rotten Tomatoes) and +1 the page” to start sharing, said Gudotra.

Samsung to Delay Galaxy Tablet Sales in Australia

Samsung Electronics Co. Monday said it will delay the launch of its tablet computing device in Australia until the last week of September because of a court hearing under way in the country.

The Korean electronics company also said it will file a cross claim against Apple Australia and Apple Inc. in the Federal Court of Australia. Apple took the Korean electronics maker to court to stop Samsung selling its 10.1-inch tablet in Australia, claiming the device breaches patents related to Apple's iPad.

Samsung and Apple are engaged in legal disputes around the globe, including in South Korea, Germany and Japan. Apple fired the first shot in the U.S. in April by filing a patent complaint against Samsung, claiming the electronics company "slavishly" copied its iPad and iPhone.

"Following today's hearing in the Federal Court of Australia, Samsung has agreed to delay the launch of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 pending the court's decision in the week commencing September 26, 2011," Samsung said in a statement.

But the company added: "It should be noted that the court has not issued an injunction against the sale of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, and the court did not make any ruling during today's hearing."

In early August, Samsung said it won't sell its new computer tablet in Australia for the time being because of the legal dispute with Apple.

Samsung to introduce mobile messaging service in October

Samsung Electronics is all set to enter the mobile instant messaging service competition, with the launch of ChatON. Beginning from October, ChatON will come pre-installed on Samsung's smartphones, as well as its other feature phones. Samsung's smartphone users who wish to use ChatON services should have smartphones featuring Samsung's own Bada OS or Google's Android software.

Samsung will eventually expand the reach of ChatON to almost all Android-based smartphones and tablets. Soon, it will also be available via download on BlackBerrys and iPhones. Using ChatON, users will not only be able to send text messages, but also send images, and hand-written notes, engage in group chats and share video clips amongst themselves.



With the launch of ChatON, Samsung will join the likes of BlackBerry and Apple in the race for mobile messaging services. BlackBerry with the BlackBerry Messenger managed to gather a fairly large fan base, and now Apple too with the impending launch of iMessage for its iPhone and iPad aims to deliver a success. With iMessage, users will be able to send free messages to other iPhone, iPad users.

Successor Faces Tough Job at Apple

Steve Jobs is legendary for a relentless, driving style that has helped him disrupt more industries than any other chief executive of his generation. The question now: Is his successor, Tim Cook, aggressive enough to muscle Apple into new turf like TV and publishing where the company hasn't yet established a dominant foothold?

The real test for Mr. Cook will come when he is no longer benefiting from Mr. Jobs's triumphs and must conquer new markets on his own. Executives in media companies, for instance, are reluctant to give up control of their products and fear Apple will end up eating away at their profits. Mr. Cook must win them over.

Investors are standing by Apple's new management for now—its stock fell just 0.65% Thursday while the broader Nasdaq dropped nearly 2%. An immediate challenge for Mr. Cook will be to advance Apple's plans in what is expected to be a key market for growth: digital video. Apple is working on new technology to deliver video to televisions, and has been discussing whether to try to launch a subscription TV service, according to people familiar with the matter. Unlike the iPod and music, where Apple has a commanding position, the battle to rule online video remains wide open and the company faces fierce competition.

Apple's digital-book, magazine and newspaper services are in their early days.

Even if Mr. Cook is willing to take the kind of risks that Mr. Jobs did, the company's board will likely scrutinize his moves more carefully, said Forrester Research Chief Executive George Colony. "It will be very reasoned and logical, but Apple will not take the leaps that it took when you had Steve in that chair," he said.
Journal Community

Then there's the bully factor. One of the biggest advantages that Apple will lose without Mr. Jobs at the helm, said an Apple business partner, is the "fear that Steve instilled."

For instance, Mr. Jobs famously browbeat some music industry executives to agree to his terms when he launched the iTunes music store that eventually upended the music industry.

"Steve can be pretty unvarnished, he's never understated about his beliefs," said Time Warner Inc. CEO Jeff Bewkes, whose company had to negotiate with Apple over iTunes. "If he thinks that you're not doing something right, he will tell you why in pretty colorful terms, which I have always appreciated."At times, Mr. Jobs used his power of persuasion to convince companies that they had to work with Apple, even if it meant giving up some control. "It all stems from Steve's animal drive to not let anyone control him or his company," said Jean-Louis Gassee, a venture capitalist and former Apple executive.

Compared with Mr. Jobs's fiery style, Mr. Cook's management approach is more measured and analytical, people who know him say.

In a letter to employees on Thursday, Mr. Cook said Apple wouldn't change. "Steve built a culture that is unlike any other in the world and we are going to stay true to that—it is in our DNA."

Libyan Rebels Advance on Sirte Amid Protests

Libyan rebels pushed toward Muammar Qaddafi’s hometown of Sirte amid protests over the National Transitional Council’s planned appointment of former members of his security forces.

As anti-Qaddafi forces waited for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization to bomb Scud missile sites so they can move toward Sirte, about 500 protesters in the rebel-held city of Misrata yesterday chanted the “blood of the martyrs” would be betrayed by the expected appointment of former army general Albarrani Shkal as head of security in the capital, Tripoli.

“Shkal is with Qaddafi,” said the president of Misrata Council, Sheikh Khalifa Zuwawi. “Not long ago he was using troops to shell people in Misrata.”

The rebels have been trying to find Qaddafi and his closest aides, consolidate their gains and bring stability to the North African nation since entering Tripoli last week. Abdel-Baset al- Megrahi, who was convicted of the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, was found lying in comatose state close to death in his Tripoli home, CNN reported.

The rebels will need about 10 days to capture Sirte “if negotiations fail to enter the town without fight,” Colonel Salim Miftah, one of the rebel commanders, told Al-Jazeera. “Our main goal is liberation not blood.”

Sirte is a haven for Qaddafi loyalists, according to the rebel command and NATO. His chief spokesman, Moussa Ibrahim, told the Associated Press Aug. 27 that Qaddafi remains in Libya and wants to negotiate with the rebels to form a transitional government.
Qaddafi Officials

Residents in Misrata say they oppose allowing Qaddafi government officials to take key security jobs.

“I can’t see any justification whatsoever,” said Hassan Al Amin, who returned to Misrata from 28 years of exile in the U.K. “We have a big force in Tripoli, they are not going to follow orders from a war criminal.”

At least four Scud missiles have been launched from Sirte at the rebel stronghold of Misrata over the past two weeks, Abdullah Maiteeg, a rebel fighter, said in an interview.

Rebel units pushed toward the town from east and west along the coastal highway yesterday, Commander Ali Ahmed of the rebel Sidra Brigade said in an interview.

The transitional council officially transferred its headquarters to Tripoli from Benghazi, in the east, on Aug. 24.
Al-Megrahi Deportation

The Libyan rebel government won’t deport al-Megrahi, its justice minister said, according to the Associated Press. U.S. Senator Charles Schumer, Democrat of New York, had encouraged the rebel council to hold al-Megrahi fully accountable for the bombing of Pan Am flight 103, which killed 270 people.

Justice Minister Mohammed al-Alagi told reporters in Tripoli that the request had “no meaning” because al-Megrahi had already been tried and convicted.

Al-Megrahi spent almost nine years in Scottish prison until he was released in 2009 for health reasons.

With Tripoli under their control, the rebel leaders were turning to domestic concerns including a water shortage and spread of disease.

The United Nations Children’s Fund said it expected to deliver more than 110,000 bottles of water to Tripoli by yesterday.

“We remain extremely concerned about the situation,” Christian Balslev-Olesen, head of the Unicef office in Libya, said. “This could turn into an unprecedented health epidemic.”

The opposition council claimed full control of Libya’s oil fields. Nouri Balroin, the head of the NTC’s oil production unit, said output will resume within three weeks, Al Jazeera reported yesterday.
Restoring Oil Flow

Oil experts will follow a three-stage plan to restore the flow of oil to 1.6 million barrels a day within 15 months, he said, according to the Qatar-based network. Ras Lanuf refinery is able to restart operations at any time, Al Arabiya reported, citing the director of the facility.

The conflict has all but halted oil exports from Libya, which has the largest proven reserves of any African country. Output dropped to 100,000 barrels a day in July, down from the 1.6 million barrels pumped before the uprising started.

Crude oil for October delivery rose 35 cents to settle at $85.72 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange at 7:33 a.m. London time. Brent oil for October settlement dropped 11 cents to $111.125a barrel on the London-based ICE Futures Europe exchange.
Atrocities

Evidence of atrocities emerged at a former regime military base, where the handcuffed bodies of 130 Libyan rebels and the remains of 20 civilians were found, a Libyan activist and journalist in Tripoli, Numedia al-Trabulsi, told Al Jazeera in a telephone interview Aug. 27.

The bodies were found in the Khamis Camp in Tripoli, now under rebel control. The Khamis Brigade is a special forces military unit led by Qaddafi’s youngest son, Khamis.

Amnesty International said it has uncovered evidence that loyalist forces killed detainees at two military camps in Tripoli on Aug. 23 and 24.

NEWS- Finance Minister Is Chosen as Japan’s Next Leader

NEWS- Finance Minister Is Chosen as Japan’s Next Leader
TOKYO — Japan’s governing party on Monday elected Finance Minister Yoshihiko Noda to be its next leader, and thus the nation’s next prime minister, choosing a fiscal hawk who vowed to fix soaring national deficits while also healing paralyzing rifts within the party.

Democratic Party lawmakers chose Mr. Noda over four rival candidates to replace the current prime minister, Naoto Kan, who failed to galvanize Japan after the devastating earthquake and nuclear accident in March. Mr. Noda is expected to win a vote in Parliament as early as Tuesday to formally become prime minister.

On Monday, Mr. Noda won the second and final vote by a tally of 215 to 177, defeating his last remaining rival, the trade minister, Banri Kaieda.

Mr. Noda has presented himself as a pro-business, fiscal conservative who would raise taxes and cut spending in order to rein in Japan’s huge national debt, which now totals twice the size of its economy. He said that Japan must join the European Union and the United States in rectifying spending imbalances in order to overcome the current instability in global financial markets.

“This is not just an election to choose the next president of the Democratic Party,” Mr. Noda told party lawmakers, “but also to choose a Japanese prime minister who will face a veritable national crisis of a strong yen and deflation, disaster recovery and reconstruction, a nuclear accident.”

In his victory speech, he also struck a tone of reconciliation within the party, which has been divided into camps for or against the party’s shadowy kingmaker, Ichiro Ozawa, who faces trial in a political funding scandal. Mr. Kaieda had supported Mr. Ozawa, while another candidate, Seiji Maehara, a former foreign minister, was against him.

Mr. Noda had avoided taking sides in the dispute, calling instead for the party to pull together to avoid the political paralysis that has hindered Japan’s response to its huge national problems.

“Let us end the politics of resentment,” Mr. Noda said. “Let’s make a more stable and reliable political leadership.”

Political analysts also pointed out that Mr. Noda, 54, was part of a younger generation of lawmakers than Mr. Ozawa and the party’s two previous prime ministers, Mr. Kan and Yukio Hatoyama. Some expressed optimism that Mr. Noda represented a changing of the guard within the party that could revitalize it after appearing to lack direction and resolve under both Mr. Hatoyama and Mr. Kan.

Steve Jobs founded Apple not once but twice'

Steve Jobs founded Apple not once but twice'
As Steve Jobs steps down as Apple's CEO, his biographer has paid tribute to the man 'who changed the world', and said that Jobs founded Apple not once, but twice.

Michael Moritz explained in his book 'Return to the Little Kingdom: Steve Jobs, the Creation of Apple, and how it Changed the World,' that how Jobs returned to Apple during the time when it had lost its leadership position in the technology industry, according to reports.

Moritz explained how Jobs, after being fired by Apple's board in favour of John Sculley, once of Pepsi Cola, a man who was a creature of convention, returned to the company when it had lost its creative zest.

"Many are familiar with the subsequent re-emergence of Apple. They may not be as familiar with the fact that it has few, if any parallels," Moritz wrote.

"When did a founder ever return to the company from which he had been rudely rejected to engineer a turnaround as complete and spectacular as Apple's? It is not too much of a stretch to say that Steve Jobs founded Apple not once but twice," he added.

Since 1997, Apple has sold over 200 million iPods, a billion iTunes songs, 26 million iPhones, and over 60 million computers.

The author further said that with Jobs's bouts of ill, and his recent decision to stand down as chief executive, the inevitable question for Apple is 'what comes next?'

"Who could compare with the man whose identity and face is so closely tied to the company? For Steve Jobs's business life deserves to be ranked among the greatest of any American, living or dead," he wrote.

How Will Tim Cook Lead Apple?

How Will Tim Cook Lead Apple?
One of the first things Tim Cook did as Apple's new CEO was to reassure the company's employees that nothing was going to change now that his legendary predecessor, Steve Jobs, had resigned from active duty. This was, of course, true (though The Onion had a hilarious parallel-universe version of events that saw Cook moving printers to the center of Apple's strategy). But even if the culture and focus of Apple doesn't change, the man at the top has. Who is this man? And what kind of leader will he be for Apple?

A Beautifully Analytical Mind
A few years ago, Fortune profiled Cook, 50, as the most likely successor to Steve Jobs. He's a tireless worker, a brilliant corporate strategist, and a fitness nut. It's thanks mainly to Cook that Apple now has a tightly knit network of suppliers in Asia. One notable anecdote about Cook is that, as soon as he was tasked to fix Apple's supply problems, he called a meeting with his top people. He realized 30 minutes in that the company needed someone in China, looked directly at one of the team members and asked, "Why are you still here?" That person, Sabih Khan, left the building and got on the first flight to China, with no return date.

That get-it-done approach has clearly guided Cook over the last decade as Apple made massive changes (among them: getting into the mobile market, switching its MacBook microprocessors from IBM to Intel) and the company made it look easy. A lot of what Cook has done has allowed Apple to be very aggressive with iPad pricing, for example, leaving its tablet competitors with little room to stand out (kamikaze fire sales aside). Thanks to the company's enviable supply chain and its popular retail stores, Apple can sell them for (relatively) cheaply, while still reaping handsome profits.
"Tim Cook is the person who really runs Apple," says an ex-Apple employee who worked at the Cupertino campus, and spoke to PCMag on condition of anonymity. "He's very organized. Apple is such a seamless operation, and it's all Tim Cook."

Cook the Leader
Wall Street knows Cook well. Analysts have be talking to him during Apple earnings calls for years, and Cook has been handling all day-to-day CEO duties since January (and probably well before that), when Jobs first went on his most recent medical leave. When asked about what kind of CEO Cook will be, most analysts will give some variation of, "The company is in good hands," or if they're being more practical, "Buy." Goldman Sachs, in its report on the succession, said "Cook is the best possible person" for the job.

"There seems to be unanimity that he is an operational genius, he is an extremely effective manager and knows how to run the business extremely well," says Charles Golvin, an analyst with Forrester Research. "What he lacks—as does everyone else, to be honest—is Jobs' vision and product focus. So I expect that he will vest that responsibility with members of his leadership team."

The tech community is less familiar with Cook. He typically doesn't give, or even appear at, keynotes. He sat next to Jobs when the press grilled the Apple team about the iPhone 4 antenna issue last summer, but he was a forgettable presence. Cook handled the January launch announcement of the Verizon iPhone competently, though not with the same reality-distortion-field sermonizing that, love it or hate it, makes Jobs' appearances so memorable. He doesn't give interviews (Apple politely declined to make him available for this piece). Whether or not Cook takes center stage at the expected fall announcement of iPhone 5 will say a lot about his style as a CEO.

Even though Cook can't replace Jobs' presence, his words have a lot of clout. When asked about the iPad's competition in the market during an Apple earnings call in April, Cook called Android tablets "vapor"—alluding to the fact that no Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablets had appeared in the market at that point, despite a big showing in January at CES. The comment went viral. With a single word, Cook had aptly dismissed a promising rival with the casual superiority of someone who's in charge, and knows it.

Nonetheless, one of the most common things cited about Cook is that he's less emotional than Jobs, which appears to have served him well as an operations manager. His analytical mind was on full display to another ex-Apple employee, Michael Grothaus, who related a story about asking a Cook a question after an in-house presentation, which Cook answered with unexpected thoroughness. Grothaus describes him as, "one of those rare people who stop and think before speaking."

The Visionary Vacuum
While there's widespread confidence in Cook's ability to lead and execute, some are speculating that without Jobs' passion for product, he may not be able to achieve the same kind of industry-capsizing coups Jobs was known for. The future of Apple TV, for example, is highly dependent on deals with content providers, many of which Jobs spearheaded himself. (Rumor has it he made a surprise closed-door appearance during CES 2008 to personally appeal to NBC executives to return to iTunes. They did.) Although Cook is said to be a skilled negotiator, that kind of impassioned persuasion—the sharing of a vision—is something else.
"I like Tim Cook a lot, but I don't see him as that visionary guy," the anonymous Apple ex-employee said. "Someone within the organization will become the future visionary person. There are a lot of power struggles going on at Apple right now."

Of course, Jobs has said he'll continue to be involved in big decisions at Apple, and assuming that's not just talk, Cook has time to show the world he can effectively fill Jobs' sneaker-clad shoes, or hire someone else to take some of those walks. Ultimately, though, Cook must be prepared to endure the inevitable criticism and comparisons to Jobs when the next Apple screw-up comes.

"Given the extreme scrutiny of everything Apple does, I expect that any nit or perceived defect during [Cook's] reign will be attributed to Jobs' lack of input, whereas the same nit would have been ignored were Steve still in charge (think antennagate, MobileMe, the boom box product they made)," says Golvin.

Apple's product strategy for the next couple of years is no doubt in place, and in the short term, Cook's Apple will look very similar to Jobs'. Anyone hoping the transition could lead to Flash on iOS or less secrecy from Apple's Cupertino base can pretty much forget it.

Cook was just awarded a million shares or restricted Apple stock, worth almost $400 million, all but ensuring he'll stay in his role for the next ten years. That gives him a lot of time to shape the company, though Cook's mark on Apple is largely already made in its efficiency and market aggressiveness. In the coming months and years, though, Cook can't escape that he will now also be looked upon to inspire—both his own people and the buying public. And, following someone who made the practice an art, it will be a key part of how his performance as CEO will be measured.
