The AT&T Custom Cable Ship That Made Modern Telecommunications Possible [Video]

Cable ships that criss-cross the world's oceans, laying lines to facilitate communications, have existed since the 1850s. But in 1961 AT&T launched what was then considered the world's most modern cable layer, the C.S. Long Lines, which could hold almost 2,500 miles of cable at a time. More »

Messi wants more than accolades

/

updated 6:11 a.m. ET Oct. 1, 2012

MADRID (Reuters) - Lionel Messi wants to be remembered as a good friend and colleague to his team mates rather than as the best player in the world, the unassuming Argentine said in an interview on Monday.

The 25-year-old Barcelona forward has won three consecutive World Player of the Year awards, and is expected to be in the running for a fourth this year, after scoring an unprecedented 73 goals in all competitions last season.

"I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else," Messi told Spanish daily EL Pais.

"I am more worried about being a good person than being the best football player in the world. When all this is over, what are you left with?

"When I retire, I hope I am remembered for being a decent guy. I like to score goals but I also like to have friends among the people I have played with."

Messi is expecting the birth of his first child, a boy to be named Thiago, in the next month, but does not seem to have been distracted on the pitch.

He has netted 10 goals in all competitions so far, under Pep Guardiola's former assistant Tito Vilanova.

The relatively unknown Vilanova appears to have settled in to his new role quickly and the side top La Liga after a perfect six wins from six.

Vilanova has been helped by a prior knowledge of many of the players, including Messi, from his time spent working in the famed Barca youth academy 'La Masia'.

"I was pleased with the news that Tito was the replacement for Pep," Messi added. "I have known him since I was a lad.

"Tito was the first person who had faith in me, because at the time I was a substitute or didn't play, and he was the one who made me starter in that category (Under-16s).

"I know him well, he's open. He tells you things to your face without any type of problem, I like this."

Barcelona resume their great rivalry with champions Real Madrid on Sunday, when Jose Mourinho's team visit the Nou Camp in La Liga having already overcome the Catalans in the Spanish Super Cup back in August.

"It's the best feeling to beat Madrid because of the importance attached to it," Messi said of the 'Clasico' as he went on to detail the strengths of their eternal rivals.

"Madrid kill you on the counter-attack," he said. "They have extremely fast forwards, and the link-up between the defence and the attack lasts only five seconds and it is a goal. They don't need to play well to score three against you.

"I am lucky enough to know well (fellow Argentines) Gonzalo Higuain and Angel Di Maria. Higuain isn't in the game, touches the ball twice, and scores two goals. Madrid score goals out of nothing."

New Fat Loss Information You Need To Know | Health And Fitness

Hey Friends
Just the other day, I shared one of my favorite resources when it comes to nutrition and fat loss. If you missed it, you can watch the totally free video here:

The Diet Solution
If you?ve already watched it, then you were introduced to one of my favorite nutrition authors, Isabel De Los Rios. I consider Isabel to be one of the most knowledgeable nutrition experts I?ve come across over the years and I was extremely impressed with her information and her program, ?The Diet Solution?.

The Diet Solution

If you really want ?The TRUTH? when it comes to losing fat?no fads, no pills, no starvation?this information is definitely for you.

Here are some of the great topics that Isabel demystifies regarding your diet:

• How to determine the exact types of foods that are most appropriate for your specific body and metabolism type. After all, we are all different, so 1 specific diet is NEVER right for everyone.
• The dangers of eating certain types of soy products? which types are ok in moderation, and which types shouldn?t be eaten at all, unless you WANT more belly fat!
• What you need to know about dairy before ever buying another dairy product again
• Why ?whole grains? are not always as healthy as the label claims, but there is an ?other type? of grain that is a contender for the superfood lists
• Is organic food worth the price?
• The honest truth about carbohydrates and how much you really need
• The major misconceptions about dietary fat that you need to know about
• Ideal protein-carb-fat ratios based on your specific metabolism and body type
• Everything you need to know about salt, sweeteners, alcohol, and more

In my opinion, this info is a MUST-SEE for everyone that cares about their health and that of their loved ones, and wants to finally fully understand nutrition and how to get a lean body for life.

A warning message in Google Chrome v22.0

Google wants your Chrome browser safe and therefore discourages users from installing any web apps and extensions that aren?t available in the official Chrome Web Store.

If someone tries to add an unapproved extension (CRX file) or a user-script (*.user.js) in Chrome, the browser will throw a yellow warning message as shown in the above screenshot.

There?s however an easy workaround to this problem.

First download the CRX file of any Chrome extension /web-app to your computer. Then click the Settings icon in Chrome (previously a Wrench icon) and go to Tools -> Extensions. Drag and drop the CRX file on this page and Chrome will gladly install the add-on.

Here?s a video demo illustrating all the steps in detail.?The same technique can be used to install the unofficial Greasemonkey userscripts in Chrome.

Libyans surrender weapons to military authorities

Hundreds of weapons held by former Libyan rebels who fought the security forces of the late Libyan strongman Muammar Gaddafi have been turned over to military authorities in response to a call by government in the wake of violent incidents in Bhengazi.
The earlier call by military authorities for civilians to surrender their arms after the fall of Gaddafi did not result in massive turnover until after the violent incident in Benghazi which killed the American ambassador and three of the US Embassy staff.


According to Army Col. Omran al-Warfali, hundreds came early for the turn over of their weapons to the authorities.


"Hundreds of citizens came since the early hours of this morning to handover their weapons from all segments of society, men and youth, women, and even children came to hand over bullets they found it in the streets," he told AP.


In the same AP report, "Moussa Omr, a former fighter who lives on the outskirts of Benghazi and who fought against Gadhafi, said it was time to turn over his weapon to the state."


"When I saw the announcement on television I came to Benghazi with my wife and son to hand over my weapon to the national army because I want to move from the stage of the revolution to state building," he said. "I trust the national army. They have been with us on the frontline and I know them one by one. I don't need this weapon after today, the militias have been expelled from Benghazi and the national army will protect us."


Libya's new government has been struggling to fight criminality as private armed groups continue to patrol the streets but often take the law into their own hands.


Estimates reveal there are at least 200,000 private citizens in Libya who are armed and government has been trying to entice them to surrender their weapons.


Members of the armed groups were offered jobs and money in exchange for their weapons but few have responded to the call by Libya's new leaders.


But recent developments have shown that armed groups have realized the pressing need for lasting peace in their communities.


Some armed group members have offered to join the military under the new regime after surrendering their weapons.


"Saad Bakar, head of a small brigade in Benghazi, handed over rifles and ammunition on Saturday, saying he was ready to disband his group," Reuters wrote.


"We were waiting until today to make sure that the weapons go to the right place," he said. "We want to join the army as individuals."


The organizers of the weapons collection initiative said the campaign will continue in key cities in order to further entice the armed groups to hand over their weapons, they plan to raffle off prizes to include cars at the end of weapons collection day.

Iterations: We Know About B2B And B2C, But Don?t Overlook B2D

Consumer and enterprise. Software and hardware. Infrastructure operations and user experience. Products and services. No matter the focus, innovation in technology, and especially around Silicon Valley, has ebbed and flowed across these areas. Some new companies focus on building solutions for the enterprise, and perhaps nowadays its too easy to take the consumer route. The purpose of this week?s column is to shed a bit of light on a growing class of new startups that are not selling directly to big companies or individuals generally, but focusing on software and infrastructure developers specifically. Selling into enterprise -- going B2B -- has been an attractive route for myriad reasons. There are barriers to entry in technological development, it takes real venture investment and time to build these products, and established sales channels and newer marketing avenues make the pursuit of these markets tantalizing. With the enterprise comes a promise of scale, size, and predictability, often in the form of pay-per-seat pricing models, built-in distribution, and lock-in.
