The Microsoft Windows Phone 8 event happens tomorrow, get your liveblog here!

We know tomorrow's Windows Phone 8 event will finally answer all of those burning mysteries that we've been yearning to hear more about since Microsoft first announced the new OS in June.

    Now, this is wrong in fact and in law...

    As stated in plain English on the ASADA website, under the ASADA Act and the NAD scheme, ASADA is authorised to publish information once a decision has been handed down by the relevant tribunal with regard to ASADA?s register of findings. Under the WADA code, ASADA is required to place sanction information on the website for at least one year. One can confirm these things by looking at the ASADA regulations, Schedule 1, Division 4.3, and the WADA code. Thus, while the Register itself does not become a public document, its contents do become public (and are required under the code to become public), and it would be a particularly strange and semantic argument to say that the entry in the register does not become a public document. Martin's representation to the tribunal might well, therefore, be considered inaccurate.

    Beyond this, Martin has been responsible for shutting down a thread and threatening forumites regarding the disclosure of XZTT's identity. There are issues with Martin's representations on this forum, specifically as to whether the tribunal's decision not to publish constitutes a suppression order. If it truly did, ASADA would be in contempt when it publishes the name. However, note that under the ASADA regulations, schedule 1, 4.22.1(c)(i), ASADA can publish an entry in the register even when an order under s35 exists, provided that "the review process has been fully determined".

    I suggest that if Martin is going to threaten people on this site with contempt of court, he tread very carefully. He should be aware as an advocate that bluster is discouraged by Australian courts.

    1. I did as you suggested, and looked at the Regs.

    4.22 is cumulative; you're only citing one of the hurdles that must be met for publication. 4.22(1)(a) must also be met. [hint - Kerr J mentions the relevant criterion in paragraph 232 - he's paying attention. Were you?]

    You're suggesting that Kerr J was misled by Hardie's assertions regarding publication. Yet the public interest criterion addressed by 4.22(1)(a) is directly alluded to by Kerr J. What did he get wrong?

    I'm not aware of the exact terms of the interlocutory suppression order they refer to. I wouldn't want to find out by spending a few days in a remand centre, though. Here's a guy who was screwed over by the UCI, and won his day in court. Good for him, but I'm not spending time in gaol because curiosity killed the cat. You can keep that.

    @"Realist": Will it make you feel better?

    You have a dig at someone who says they didn't dope, dissing them about talking about it, then get all kinds of desperate to out a low level pro who has already lost his career.

    Where's the source of bitterness from mate? Got something you need to get off your chest?

    These examples of your angst are indicative of an underlying issue - so what's up? I am sincerely curious where you're coming from and what's eating you.

    Is there REALLY an Australian order barring all Australians from talking about an alleged doper? Barring all people on Earth?

    Confidentiality is one thing. A gag order is another. But a court order suppressing speech . . .

    It looks like a lawyer is bullying people on this forum and it's working.

    There is no suppression order as such. There is an order that the respondent is referred to as XZTT in the tribunal's decision, and there is acknowledgement that an entry in the register is not a public document.

    That is quite different from a suppression order.

    I'm not going to name him though.

    Yes, in Australia court orders can suppress speech, or at least the speech of Australians.

    Of course, the idea that such suppression orders made by an Australian court apply in other countries is doubtful to say the least.

    But, that said, I have to say I don't get the eagerness to out this individual. Even if what he is alleged to have done is true we're talking about a very low-level pro who snorted a bit of coke long enough before an event that it wouldn't have affected his performance one iota in the race of concern.

    FFS, there are much bigger fish to fry.

    Agreed. Same attempted outer was all uppity at Greg for talking about doping and why he didn't do it.

    Methinks there's some underlying issues.

    I have no idea what the case is about, nor do I really care, but I find the choice of the letters XZTT interesting. Do they stand for anything, or are they just random letters? Why were those letters chosen? Why not, for example, ZZYZX? Or, LMNOP?

    Random.

    A note to the poster throwing his legal weight around suppressing the identity of the rider. No one bothered to ask somene knowledgeable in how search engine works when coming up with the *brilliant* idea of using short, random string as a placeholder. Spend some time and money with a professional who can explain in 10 words or less why your random string is not doing what you think it is. If it p!sses off the dude throwing his legal weight around knowing nothing about search engines to get themselves into more trouble then my job is done.

    It is still cached and there's nothing CN can really do about it other than request the cache be eventually deleted which might or might not happen.

    I agree though that this one is minor relative to what's going on in Agile. I hope the rider gets his life together because he just screwed up a very, very privileged lifestyle as an athlete.

    I'm thinking of changing my forum account name to this rider's name. I haven't violated any rules in my country by doing that.

    6 decades later, probe to solve political murder

    (AP) ? The story goes that when Prince Baudouin took the oath to succeed his father after years of tumult over the monarchy, Communist leader Julien Lahaut shouted from the crowd: "Long Live the Republic!"

    A week later, two men turned up at Lahaut's door in Belgium's coal and steel heartland and shot him four times with a Colt 45 revolver at point blank range. The killers sped away by car into the gathering darkness and were never caught.

    If ever a murder had the hallmarks of a political assassination, the August 1950 slaying was it. But, who was behind it? And why? It's a murder mystery swallowed up in the fog of Cold War politics. Now, 62 years later, the Belgian government has approved fresh funds to solve the crime, convinced the moral implications echo down to this day.

    The probe is part of a historical reckoning in which Belgium is revisiting several buried crimes, citing a "duty to remember." They include the involvement of authorities in the persecution of Jews during the Nazi era and government links to the assassination of Congolese prime minister Patrice Lumumba in 1961.

    It's up to silver-haired historian Emmanuel Gerard to crack the Lahaut case.

    One recent afternoon, Gerard pored over papers from 1950 found in the archive of a former interior minister. In uneven black-and-white typeface, a shadowy informer named Andre Moyen wrote to the former minister about the "execution" of Lahaut, dismissing the postwar Communist leader as "after all, an agent of the USSR."

    A careful historian, Gerard says the missive in itself proves nothing. Yet it could be an indication that Belgian authorities, alarmed at signs of leftist foment in the country, might have known something about Lahaut's slaying and chose to keep silent.

    In 1950, the Cold War was raging and fighting in Korea had just started. Belgium was bitterly divided between right and left over whether to welcome back from exile King Leopold III, who was long seen as having been too accommodating to Belgium's Nazi occupiers.

    Amid the tensions, Leopold handed over power to his son Baudouin. The following week Lahaut was dead.

    Historians have long suspected that rightwing pro-Leopold forces were behind the assassination ? but that the government took little interest in solving the case because Lahaut was a Communist. In the political climate pitting the West against the Soviets, and with investigators not nearly as well-trained as those of today, the cold-blooded murder of the charismatic parliamentarian turned into a cold case.

    Who fired the shots is not essential to Gerard and his team, nor to the politicians who have forced the murder back onto the public agenda. Now, it is more about who ordered the killing, and why the investigation never yielded results.

    "It is not an issue of going after the culprits, they must be dead," said socialist senator Philippe Mahoux, one of those who pushed for the new inquiry. "But to know what really happened, that is fundamental."

    "There must have been resistance in those days to let the truth emerge," he told The Associated Press in a telephone interview. "We have to know whether there were dark forces behind this ... If there is no solution it feels like a cover-up."

    Despite clear political overtones, the case was treated as a common crime. A month after the killing, Communists were banned from all public functions as the Korean War made the Cold War even colder.

    The case was officially shelved in 1972. Lahaut's murder turned increasingly into a half-forgotten historical oddity. Delving into the history of World War II and its Cold War aftermath was long difficult for a country struggling with memories of collaboration, postwar repression and anti-Communist action.

    A prominent socialist European parliamentarian first took the lead in reviving the Lahaut probe by gathering some ?40,000 ($52,000) in private sponsorship as of 2009 and followed by ?150,000 ($194,000) in subsidies from authorities from Lahaut's French-speaking region in Belgium last year.

    Then, over the summer, came ?200,000 ($258,000) from the national government itself. All sources of financing bear a left-wing stamp. Government interest ? and funding ? has opened up since last year, when Elio Di Rupo became the first socialist prime minister in over 35 years.

    "The fact that Di Rupo is there doesn't hurt to make sure things proceed," said Mahoux.

    As a historian, Gerard stands above the political fray.

    He's just happy he can keep digging.

    Human-like robots getting ready to save lives

    59 min.

    When future super-charged weather systems rip through town and leave the industrial complex spewing toxic waste, robots with super-human capabilities will be dispatched to the rescue. Today, we get our first look at what some of these humanoids will look like.

    The Pentagon?s futuristic research arm unveiled the seven teams selected to compete in the top track of the DARPA Robotics Challenge. By the rules of the contest, the robots look as human as C-3P0 of ?Star Wars? fame, but are designed to be real-world emergency responders.

    Each of the robots will need the smarts and dexterity to drive a vehicle such as a fire truck; run on rough, sloped terrain with loose dirt and rocks; move material such as a fallen tree limb to enter a doorway; climb a ladder; break through concrete; find and fix a leaky pipe; and replace a cooling pump.?

    The seven teams will receive up to $4 million each to develop both the hardware and software for their proposed robots. Among the winners are Virginia Tech?s gladiator-look-alike THOR, the Tactical Hazardous Operations Robot, and Raytheon?s Stormtrooper-esque Guardian.

    Other selected teams include Carnegie Mellon University?s CHIMP (CMU Highly Intelligent Mobile Platform); Drexel University?s Hubo; NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory?s RoboSimian; NASA Johnson Space Center; and Shaft Inc. Click here for Images of all the robots.?

    In addition to the Track A teams, DARPA selected 11 Track B teams who will receive funding to write software for the Simulator, ?a cloud-based, real time, operator-interactive virtual test bed that uses physics based models of inertia, actuation, contact and environment dynamics,? the agency explains.

    Track B and unfunded Track C teams, who are now free to register, will compete for access to one of a few handfuls of modified ATLAS robots developed for DARPA by Boston Dynamics. Check out the video clip below to see some of this robot?s capabilities.?

    Interested in competing, perhaps even designing a robot that?s non-human like? Then consider registering for Track D?which is open to any team who wants to develop a complete system, both hardware and software, at their own expense.?

    The Indian Foreign Service as a Career Option

    Oct 8, 2012

    India is being seen abroad as an emerging power with great economic potential despite many daunting challenges. Countries and institutions all over the world want to engage with India. Our Missions abroad and the Ministry of External Affairs play a central role in facilitating this engagement. The Indian Foreign Service (IFS) is the human resource that implements Indian foreign policy. It is currently expanding rapidly to match India?s rising profile and increasing role in the international system. Recruitment to the IFS has been increased from about 15 per year to around 40. In 2011, of 34 recruits, 26 had a science and technology background.

    In brief, the role of a diplomat is to promote his country?s national interests and to provide assistance to nationals abroad. National interests are now wide ranging, covering political, economic and cultural sectors and involving not merely government agencies, but also relationships with businesses, and other cultural organizations. Effective diplomacy requires good cross cultural communication with people from different cultures and countries. It also requires good management skills, including being able to get the best out of the organization you belong to, in this case the Government of India.

    A diplomat needs to develop the capacity for multitasking and adapting to a constantly changing environment. He needs to understand the country he is working in, develop contacts with key people there and project the most appropriate image of India. The work involved is constantly varying, from helping Indian business development, developing projects and implementing them, organizing events, winning friends and influencing people. It is a matter of great pride to represent India abroad, something that cannot be measured in material terms.
    Science and Technology are playing an important role in our lives today, and diplomacy is no exception. Today, a science and technology background can be an asset in dealing with issues such as nuclear energy, climate change, information technology, arms control, outer space, the oceans, energy security, environment protection, international health, S & T cooperation, to name a few. India as a growing technology and knowledge power with a huge market is deeply involved in almost all these international efforts. My own experience was that my training in Physics proved very useful in dealing with subjects that I came across in my work, and in particular helped me in interfacing with S & T institutions wherever I was posted.

    Training for our diplomats is provided over 2 years at a dedicated well equipped Institute with good hostel facilities. It is comprehensive, covering areas relevant to diplomacy today. Basic knowledge about India, its government, its politics, economics, history and culture is one aspect. A district assignment gives a firsthand exposure to realities at grass roots level. A course at the Indian Institute of Foreign Trade provides training in foreign trade and international business. There are modules on current international relations topics, diplomatic practice, communications, administration, and study tours abroad. Our training programmes for diplomats are well regarded and we also provide training for diplomats from other countries at our Institute.
    Our training includes mandatory study of one foreign language. Language learning ?comes naturally to most Indians who are familiar with at least two languages, My own compulsory language was French, but along the way I did manage to learn others such as Arabic, German, Spanish, and finally Greek, with varying degrees of proficiency. It is possible with modern computer based materials to get a working knowledge of a language in about three months.

    Working in a Mission abroad is never routine or boring. Every day is different with new challenges to deal with and you constantly sharpen your skills and knowledge. You work as a team with your colleagues including those from other services of the government. Taking new initiatives forward gives one a sense of achievement. I can recall working closely with Indian companies in bagging contracts in pharma and IT in Syria, a rather challenging market, for example. The canvas for operations is vast, and you can literally define your work and targets and achieve them.

    Along the way, you get to develop lasting friendships with people from many countries, Indians abroad and visitors from home. Your family also should have a positive attitude to change. After all, beneath the layers of language and culture all of us are human and share common values and aspirations. It is a lifelong learning experience in which you accumulate skills and knowledge. Every one of my assignments ? Sudan, Syria, Zambia, Austria, Cuba and Greece, and the UN in Geneva and Austria, and in India, has been of great value for me.Conditions of service in the IFS especially after the recent pay revision are quite good. Job security is assured. There is an effort to introduce performance based promotion systems. With modern communications, it does not matter much whether you are working in Manipur or Mexico ? you can be connected to your home, access news, culture and family. With the rapid expansion of the IFS there will be many opportunities for career enrichment. It is possible to add to your skills through study programmes including higher degrees in relevant fields. Of course there are down sides. As in any other job there are difficult bosses, unfair situations, and frustrating bureaucracy. But if you put in your best, you will also receive the best sooner or later.The civil service includes many prestigious services which contribute to our national development, such as the IAS, IPS, etc. After a lot of introspection, I decided to join the IFS because it offered a professional and specialized career, with a core competence in international relations, which is becoming more important in the era of globalization. The IFS has also so far has remained relatively free of political interference and postings and transfers at the whims of politicians.Dr. Bhaskar Balakrishnan
