How can I fix my iPhone 3g 4.2.1? Tried to jailbreak with redsn0w and now it's having troubles.
I just got my first smart phone (iPhone 3g 4.2.1) and wanted to use it on StraightTalk.
I read that in order to unlock the phone for carriers besides AT&T, I had to raise the phone's baseband to the iPad baseband. I was following the instructions on this site, and it said installing the iPad baseband was "currently the only way to unlock 05.14 and 05.15 basebands". That may have changed since then.
That didn't work, and I tried (to no avail) to restore it with iTunes. I ended up stuck with the "Connect USB to iTunes" screen. I looked for help on Reddit, and followed this advice:
Either download the 4.2.1 ispw file for iPhone 3G or locate the ispw file inside your iTunes and place it on your desktop.
Got it (iPhone1,2_4.2.1_8C148_Restore.ipsw). It takes a long time to download, but isn't hard to find.
Now try and get your iPhone into dfu.
I was stuck in the "Connect to iTunes" page, but this guide helped me get into DFU mode (or so I thought)
Once in dfu open the newest version of redsn0w.
Got redsn0w 0.9.14b2 (OSX) from iphone-dev
Once open click extras,then select ispw. Choose the ispw 4.2.1 on your desk top. Now a pop up will state resn0w will use the 4.2.1 for the remainder.
So far so good!
Select back,then jailbreak. Since you are already in dfu it should skip the step where it shows you how to do it. Now this should get you out of recovery.
Since I heard there was no need to upgrade to iPad baseband, I selected "Downgrade from iPad baseband". Apparently I wasn't in DFU mode, since it gave me steps to enter DFU mode... dangit.
Screen flashed white, then said "Downloading Jailbreak Data?", and a lot of terminal readout showed up on the screen. Now a running pineapple showed up with a status bar under it. Now it's stuck on the apple logo screen, and has been for several minutes. After being stuck about 2 hours, I turned it off, tried to turn it on, and got stuck with the apple logo screen.
Also, the person on Reddit said I didn't need to unlock the iPhone to use it with Straight Talk. Is that true? I talked to some Straight Talk people in a store, and they said I couldn't use iPhone with them, and everything I read said I had to unlock it.
So now, I beseech you for your help
The most my phone will do is show an apple logo when it powers on. iTunes doesn't register that it's plugged in. Por favor help; what should I do?

Obama using voter registration to stay close in NC
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) ? Dozens of volunteers armed with clipboards and voter registration forms gather at President Barack Obama's field office here every day. Their mission: Fan out across the city seeking new voters in this rapidly growing state.
"Are you registered to vote at your current address?" asks Douglas Johnston, a volunteer wooing voters outside the county courthouse. "Do you know about early voting?"
The effort, it seems, has borne fruit ? to the tune of more than 250,000 new registered voters in North Carolina since April 2011, according to Obama's team. That's more new voters than the campaign has registered anywhere else in the country.
It's an eye-popping total in a state that Obama won by just 14,000 votes four years ago. And the flood of new voters ? presumably a chunk of them Democrats ? could help keep North Carolina within the president's reach in a year when everything else here seems to be working in Republican Mitt Romney's favor.
North Carolina has voted for a Democratic presidential candidate just twice in 40 years. The state's economy is abysmal; its 9.7 percent unemployment rate is among the nation's highest. And the president's embrace of gay marriage put him at odds with a majority of North Carolina voters, including many blacks, who make up the core of his support here.
But less than six weeks from Election Day, Romney is spending millions of dollars in television advertising in North Carolina, defending territory that remains more conservative than most of the states that will decide the election. That raises questions about his chances in places like Ohio, Florida and Virginia, where polls show him trailing the president.
Compared with Obama, Romney has fewer paths to victory in the state-by-state contest to cobble together enough wins to reach the requisite 270 Electoral College votes. That makes North Carolina's 15 electoral votes more important to him than to Obama, who could still win the White House without a North Carolina victory.
Romney's campaign won't say how many new voters they have registered in the state. But Republicans credit their field work with a party advantage in absentee voting requests in North Carolina, where they say they lead 48 percent to 31 percent for Democrats.
Of course, registration numbers alone don't tell the whole story in North Carolina. Democrats have long outnumbered Republicans in the state, even though voters sided with GOP presidential candidates for decades. Democratic registration has fallen by about 90,000 since the end of 2008, while unaffiliated voters have increased by more than 250,000. Republican registration is up by about 5,000 during that same timeframe.
A shortage of independent polls in North Carolina makes the state's status 40 days out hard to judge. An NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist Poll out Thursday showed Obama leading Romney among likely voters 48 percent to 46 percent.
But both parties say the race is tight.
"Changing demographics have made this state more competitive than past years," said Robert Reid, Romney's North Carolina communications director. But he expressed confidence that the lagging economy would help the Republican win a close contest.
"The race is, and has been, within the margin of error," said Ken Eudy, a veteran Democratic strategist in North Carolina.
North Carolina's rapid transition from a GOP stalwart to a presidential battleground has largely been due to increased voter registration of African-Americans and Hispanics, as well as of transplants from the Northeast.
They're people like Diana Hrabosky, a Democrat who just moved to the state and registered to vote on Wednesday with an Obama campaign volunteer. And Walter Woody III, who recently turned 18 and is eligible to vote for the first time.
"It seems like no matter what race you are, people are starting to get more Democratic," said Woody, who is black, after he finished filling out a registration form.
This year, Romney's campaign was determined not to get caught off guard in North Carolina like GOP nominee John McCain was four years ago. Republicans have built a more substantial ground operation here, but still trail Obama in manpower. The president has 53 field offices across North Carolina to Romney's 24.
About 1.6 million people in North Carolina, or one-fourth of the electorate, are registered to vote but not affiliated with a party.
Paul Shumaker, a Republican consultant who has handled statewide races, said those voters may present just as many problems for Romney as the Democrats.
"Having to go through a Republican primary that pulled him to the right hurts him in building a winning coalition in the state," Shumaker said.
Theresa Jeffers is one of the unaffiliated voters siding with Romney ? though she says it's more a vote against Obama than in favor of the Republican.
"I was hoping so much that he would be successful," Jeffers, 64, said of the president. She said she's been disappointed by his performance in office, particularly on the debt.
Romney is hoping millions of dollars in television advertisements will convince more voters like Jeffers to side with him. The candidate and his GOP allies have spent more than $32 million on ads in North Carolina, including $2 million last week alone.
Obama and Democrats have spent nearly $18 million on North Carolina advertising. But their rate of weekly spending has slowed, down about half from their peak in the summer. Obama's campaign is also not running the costly two-minute ad it released Thursday in the state.
Neither candidate has devoted much time on the ground in North Carolina. Romney has made four trips to the state, while Obama has been here three times, including during the Democratic Party's convention in Charlotte earlier this month. But their running mates and wives have been frequent visitors.
Obama had planned to deliver his acceptance speech at a Charlotte football stadium with seating for 74,000 and use the gathering for voter registration and recruitment. But the outdoor event was canceled, with Democrats blaming the weather and Republicans accusing the president of not being able to draw a capacity crowd.

Don't Fall Prey To Artificial Time Lines
?
Have you ever been affected by an artificial time line? Yes...let me answer this question for you. Of course you have, we all have. In our personal lives, it is often occasioned by the fear of being judged...or actually being judged.
I was reminded of this when I was "caught" talking to a MAN (imagine that) I didn't know.?A friend took me out to listen to some music. Merry Widow? Too soon? Disrespectful? I think not! I didn't take him home...sheesh!
In business, it can actually harm your client, and your pocketbook. I had a closing today which brought this point home to me in a very big way. I know this is NOT typical...and is?almost?miracle, but it happened. I learned a lesson.
Last Monday?I got an email from a prospect in my database about a home. We ran out to see it and she wanted to write an offer. It was a bank-owned property and vacant. She wanted to close in?2 weeks.
Ok...maybe! Will this be all cash?
Then she handed me a prequal letter. Ok...slow down. "There is no way you can close with financing in 2 weeks." I very confidently assured her that she had no shot. Since we closed today....I was wrong. In fact, we not only closed (yes, the lender was Batman) but we closed a day before we had thought and the? REO bank gave her some extra concessions because she was closing before the end of the month.
Her lender was a small boutique bank. They handled everything quickly and efficiently and we closed. Saturday, she is heading out of town and out of touch. Headed to the outback to work with natives for 1 month. Had we not had loan documents before she left....we would not have closed at all, or at least not until she resurfaced. I wrote the offer to have a 45 day close, because there was no way we could get it done.
I was wrong!
I learned not to rely just on the "set in stone" rules. Certainly this is not normal. We all know this. But in my own personal journey, I've learned not to judge based on timetables. In this case? It paid off for my client.

Rover Finds Ancient Streambed On Martian Surface
There are other fluids than water that can sustain a semicolloidal solution or carry sediments. I assume that scientists now have to figure out what fluid flowed, rather than simply assuming that it had to be water.
Zap it with a laser and conduct at spectrum analysis on it and see what elements pop up.
Without proclaiming any expertise, I'd say that the erosion and eddy patterns left behind would be informative, since they would be indicative of the viscosity of the liquid. The pattern of sediment would drop hints towards its density. Water, CO2 and other highly-vaporous substances would not leave much, if any discernible residue or precipitate compared many other fluids. Some fluids would react with certain payload elements, other with different payload elements (in the structural meaning of the term "element", not the chemical one).
There's a lot you can learn just ogling the pictures.
THEN zap it with a laser!
Routinely you will find H20 bonded in some sediments where water has passed for a length of time, sans life, there will be less (to none) of the familiar compounds of Earth. It likely was water, but when and how much is certainly an interest, though it likely boiled off into space, thanks to Mars' weak gravity.

Ecommerce Impact Of Web Development: | Paseoner.com home ...
26 Sep 2012
Author: sed | Filed under: IdeasThe impact of e-commerce web is having an extensive impact on all areas of human endeavor and thought. In the past, access to information was through traditional channels such as newspapers, books, magazines and television. Since the introduction of the Internet, the possibility of searching ?on the fly? is replacing the channels and the speed at which the information can be accessed. Consumers are facing a lot of options and can make more informed decisions as a result. This not only shapes preferences of consumers and sociological trends, which shortens the product life cycle and provides more power to the consumer group.
Social networking is a phenomenon that has arisen due to the growth of the Internet and because of the impact of the Internet. With review sites and Internet message boards offering free channels to discuss political and business products, consumers now have a framework to investigate and make decisions more informed consumer. This affects companies that traditionally neglected consumer feedback. As people become more informed and more rapidly, companies must be more responsive to consumer demands or risk losing market share to organizations that are more sensitive.
The impact of ecommerce website site needs now faster and more robust functional teams to handle broadband speeds and data transfer. As infrastructure amounts to meet the needs of the means of transmission, the new software, hardware and components are required to meet the demands of modern surfing. This has shortened the life cycle of home users are now built times to new, more advanced machines accelerating at an unprecedented rate.
The impact of e-commerce web is spreading to all industries and sectors. Companies that have traditionally operated under a brick and mortar structure are now finding that competition is emerging in the virtual space. Faster, more efficient and cost structures are transforming organizations and creating a dimensional change in the way we do business. Online banking is the replacement of staff in customer service in the banking sector and utilities and to actively promote paying bills via the Internet. The basic needs of every day can be done electronically, including basic business requirements. This frees up time and improves the quality of life for all participants.
Regardless of the industry in which they work, the impact of singapore ecommerce is here to stay. As new and more efficient processes are developed, companies migrate their operations and adapt their business models to resonate with the target audience. The pace of development will continue in the coming years.

Travel Insurance Advice for Snowbirds | Squaremouth Pressroom
ST. PETERSBURG, FL September 26, 2012 ? With cooler weather approaching, many snowbirds are preparing to travel south for the winter months. In preparation for such long-term travel, healthcare is often a primary consideration. According to travel insurance comparison site, Squaremouth, purchasing travel insurance plans can provide coverage options for seasonal residents if primary health insurance is unavailable while on vacation.
Some may assume they have adequate coverage through their primary health insurance providers and consider travel insurance an unnecessary expense. However, many health insurance policies provide limited coverage to travelers. For example, provincial medical service plans in Canada may offer little to no coverage outside of the country. Similarly, U.S. citizens traveling to other parts of the country often face limited coverage or increased ?out-of-network? costs.
This is especially true for travelers with pre-existing conditions. Many carriers provide pre-existing medical coverage if the policy is purchased within 10-30 days of the initial trip deposit. ?Some providers, such as HTH Worldwide, include policies that offer this coverage as long as it is purchased before the final payment date.
If required, many travel insurance providers can arrange emergency medical evacuation to an appropriate facility. Repatriation benefits will cover associated costs if returning home is medically necessary. In the unfortunate event of death, remains may also be repatriated.
?Since emergency medical evacuation can be extremely expensive, this benefit can protect travelers from potential financial burdens,? says Chris Harvey, CEO of Squaremouth. ?We recommend that travelers carry $50,000 to $100,000 in medical evacuation coverage when traveling internationally.?
There are additional benefits in many travel insurance policies that travelers may not realize. All policies come with a 24-hour hotline providing travelers with a broad range of services, including medical referrals, legal assistance, emergency cash transfers, and help with pre-trip arrangements.
To make long-term vacationing easier, Squaremouth recommends that travelers fill all prescriptions and make copies of important documents before leaving home. When purchasing travel insurance, travelers should read policy details to understand terms of coverage. Of equal importance, they should first check with any health insurance providers to gain an understanding of coverage they may already have to avoid an unnecessary purchase of travel insurance.

Utilize These Ideas To Expertise Home Based Business Good results
While we all could have the aspiration to get our employer and begin our personal online business, it?s not as elementary as it seems like. For tips on what you can do to get successful at a company of your selecting, look at the article under to understand that particular hint that you could not have considered.
Expectations can be lower for residence organizations, so it is under your control to ensure that you overdeliver on every single product or service that you simply sell. Think of additional bonuses and additional ways to demonstrate admiration for the person who is paying out you. They may remember and make use of you, next time they need to buy some thing. Much better, they might recommend anyone to friends.
Learn how to elevator pitch your home business. It?s significant to be able to quickly illustrate and sell your small business to a person once you only have a couple of secs of your time. Create 3 to 5 sentences that are the essence of your property company brand, something which can be said within an escalator while you are going up 5 various flooring. You will find this pitch very helpful along the way relating to your daily schedule.
Have a thorough sign of all business expenses, such as miles driven and items purchased. Ensure that you secure relevant receipts. This can help you when you want to submit fees. Furthermore, if your online business is ever audited, it will likely be much easier to face the review if you already possess detailed, day-by-day profiles.
If you?re trying to find a country ringtones job, you need to consider at the very least an hour or so per day, to consider ways to begin to make dollars from the online business, instead. Jot down your abilities, information, and abilities, and figure out who requires you together with tips on how to be of company to them.
Consider offering your home-based business items wholesale to certain groupings. You may make significantly less in the selling, but general consumers normally buy in bulk so you may turn out producing more than usual. Discover who is buying your merchandise and consider whether a general value would be better for you and them.
Spend some time to display your knowledge of your own product to other folks. Create on-line content and set your information within them. Seek out training seminars you could get involved in and imagine other chances to become involved. The standing of your property business will increase the a lot more you place on your own available.
If you have a niche of repeat customers, be sure to fall away vouchers for your personal item within their areas of business and work. For instance, when your product is well-liked by mums of young children, you must drop coupon codes away in pediatrician?s office buildings, preschools, day time cares as well as other comparable locations.
Getting your very own boss will definitely not effortless, but when you persevere and work on the way of thinking that this is just what you would like, then this big part of the procedure can also work. This post presented you suggestions how you can make a house business effective. Now you should select which suggestions go with your small business prepare

Giant Panda Cub Dies At Washington National Zoo
6:14 p.m. EDT, September 23, 2012
WASHINGTON, D.C. (REUTERS)?
The giant panda cub born at the National Zoo just one week ago died on Sunday, zoo officials said.?While the exact cause of the baby panda's death is yet to be determined, zoo officials said the cub, which weighed just under 100 grams (about 3.5 ounces), was in good body condition and that there were no outward signs of trauma or infection.
?The cub's death was discovered Sunday morning after panda keepers and zoo volunteers heard a distress vocalization from its mother, Mei Xiang.
?The panda cam that allowed the public to watch the baby and its mother over the Internet was turned off and zoo staff retrieved the body for evaluation.
?The unnamed cub was born on September 16 after five years of failed efforts at conception. Fourteen-year-old Mei Xiang was described as a good mother. At the time of the birth, zoo officials had said the first month of life was crucial in the life of a panda cub.
?This was Mei Xiang's second cub. She gave birth to her first cub, Tai Shan, July 9, 2005. Tai Shan is now at the China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda in Wolong.

Fake Caps Threaten WNY Jobs
September 21, 2012 Updated Sep 21, 2012 at 6:37 PM EDT
BUFFALO, NY (WKBW) - At least twice a day, representatives of New Era execute raids of foreign factories in countries like Malaysia, Indonesia and Vietnam, where knock-off caps are made.
But the vast majority of counterfeit hats, about 98 percent, are made in China and shipped to the U.S. to the tune of three million each year.
New Era is able to seize just a third of the fakes.
U.S. Senator Charles Schumer is proposing federal assistance so New Era can protect 700 local jobs, which the company says are threatened by foreign fakes.

Doctors at the hospital and cancer research center, the largest in the country, announced their "Moon Shots" program this week, so called because it is inspired by President John F. Kennedy's pledge in the 1960s to put a man on the moon.
"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center has launched an ambitious and comprehensive action plan, called the Moon Shots Program, to make a giant leap for patients ? to dramatically accelerate the pace of converting scientific discoveries into clinical advances that reduce cancer deaths," the hospital says on its website. "The nation?s No. 1 hospital for cancer care, with its unparalleled resources and capabilities, is uniquely positioned to accelerate the end of cancer. It?s closer than you think. What?s learned from these initial cancer ?moon shots? will ultimately lead to cures for all types of the disease."
Some of the cancers the hospital will focus on include ovarian, breast, lung, prostate, melanoma and leukemia.
"Even as the number of cancer survivors in the US is expected to reach an estimated 11.3 million by 2015, according to the American Cancer Society, cancer remains one of the most destructive and vexing diseases," the center said in a release announcing the new program. "An estimated 100 million people worldwide are expected to lose their lives to cancer in this decade alone. The disease?s devastation to humanity now exceeds that of cardiovascular disease, tuberculosis, HIV and malaria ? combined."

Having Any Perimenopause Symptoms? | Menopause Coach ...
I love this article.? It is clear that Jennifer makes her own choices about her body, even against her doctor?s advice if she feels it is not in her best interest.? She has a great attitude about perimenopause (and menopause) which helps to pave her way through this transition with grace and ease.?
If you have perimenopause symptoms, why not investigate the herbal suggestions in this article as Jennifer did.? You will want to do your research or contact an Herbalist who is experienced in that area.
Another solution is to read about and become familiar with what Dr. John Lee recommended.? By using a ?real? progesterone cream to balance the estrogen that you are still producing, you will alleviate many of your symptoms and challenges if you are estrogen dominant. ? Many women become estrogen dominant which puts everything way out of whack.? There is not one solution for every person.?
The Pause That Refreshes ? Written by Nashauna Drummond, Lifestyle Coordinator
In her mid-50s, menopause was not on Jennifer?s radar.? That was until early last year.? ?One day, I was sitting at my desk and I felt a very cold sensation run from the top of my head to my neck,? she told Flair of her first symptom.
?It felt like someone had put an ice cold towel over me and it felt nice. It happened at least 10 times each day for three weeks and it never occurred to me that it was menopause.?
One day, she mentioned it to her fianc? who told her that it sounded like cold sweat.? ?I thought, ?You know he could be right???? But if that?s what menopause was, bring it on!?
But then came the hot flashes accompanied by raging headaches.?? ?I didn?t consult my doctor because I knew he would recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and having attended two major menopause medical conferences in the United States where all the world?s leading experts in the field agreed that HRT invariably led to extreme side-effects ? including heart disease, I was not going that route.
I spoke to older women, including my mom, and they recommended black cohosh, evening primrose and red clover capsules ? all natural supplements that minimize the symptoms.
I have been taking them since, along with vitamin E, and trying to eat healthier ? adding more broccoli and mushrooms to my diet.?
Although she didn?t know it at the time, Jennifer was actually peri-menopausal.? This is the stage before menopause when the ovaries gradually produce less oestrogen and which lasts until menopause when the ovaries stop releasing eggs.
??In January 2011, my period stopped but resumed in April, so I visited my doctor and he told me I was peri-menopausal.? You only become menopausal when your monthly cycle stops for 12 consecutive months. ? In October they became longer lasting ? seven to 10 days.?
?By November, Jennifer?s menstrual cycle again stopped, but resumed in February 2012.? This time they were unbearably long ? two-three weeks ? so she again consulted her doctor.
Hysterectomy
??He recommended a hysterectomy.? I wasn?t having it.? I never hated my periods.? ? She added she had heard many horror stories from women she knew and what they went through? with the hormone imbalance that not having your ovaries would lead to. ?
?So I didn?t like the idea.? I just asked for something to minimize the length of my periods.?
?Since May, Jennifer?s periods have again stopped and her hot flashes have intensified.? ?I will break into sweat at the most inopportune time,? she told Flair.
??I have a lot of friends who are doctors whom I have spoken to, so I am prepared to deal with it.? I also know a lot of women who didn?t take HRT.?
She added that since her first symptom, she has only experienced one violent rage which was associated with her headaches that make her very sensitive to noise.
??In the initial months of the hot flashes, I got agitated.? Now I feel a cool sensation.? Though my entire body feels hot, below my knees I feel a cool sensation like air-conditioning.? I?ve conditioned myself not to fan; I keep napkins to mop my brow and if I feel hot I will dab it lightly.? In the nights, it will be an on and off with the covers.? I hope it doesn?t get worse and hope I continue to ride it through comfortably.?
Her comfort level has also remained intact as it relates to her sexual urges which most women complain about, especially vaginal dryness. ?A lot of my friends complain that they get turned off from sex.? I have none of those issues.? I?m glad that I have a man who really understands the ageing process. He is totally understanding.
?Menopause for me is the pause that refreshes.? I am not dreading it, I have accepted it as yet another miracle milestone in a woman?s fascinating life.?
Do you have perimenopause symptoms?? This time in your life does not have to be a bad experience!? There are choices we have that our moms never had.? By changing your diet, exercising and reducing stress, your hormones will be in a better place.? Another solution for you to try is Progesterone Creme.?
As I said above, Dr. John Lee studied progesterone for years and since the estrogen drops in your body (for the majority of women) and progesterone decreases considerably, by adding a true progesterone creme, it will help to balance the estrogen that is still in your body.?

HBT: Kershaw could pitch for Dodgers on Sunday
Clayton Kershaw threw a 20-pitch bullpen session this afternoon and manager Don Mattingly indicated that there?s a chance he could return from a hip injury to start for the Dodgers as soon as Sunday.
That would be a huge change from just a few days ago, when the Dodgers feared Kershaw might need season-ending hip surgery that would likely sideline him into 2013.
For now Aaron Harang is scheduled to start Sunday on three days? rest, which Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times notes would be his first short-rest start since 2008.
As for who?ll make the call regarding Kershaw? availability, Mattingly said:
It?s going to have to be the medical people saying he?s passed every test and he?s cleared every hurdle. It?s not going to be my decision. It?s an organizational decision with Clayton. Does it make sense? That?s really more than a manager?s decision. When you have a guy with his kind of arm and his upside, you?re not going to leave that decision only in my hands.
That sounds about right. Don Mattingly is a lot of things, but doctor isn?t one of them and allowing Kershaw to pitch through a hip injury that had everyone in Los Angeles holding their breath all week would be a major decision.

UK regulator finds BSkyB 'fit and proper'
LONDON (AP) ? British Sky Broadcasting is a "fit and proper" company to hold an operating license, U.K. regulators said Thursday in response to the phone hacking scandal that engulfed the parent company. But it criticized the former CEO and chairman, James Murdoch, for poor management.
The company's license was called into question because of the scandal at a newspaper owned by News Corp., which effectively controls BSkyB through a 39 percent shareholding.
If the company had not be found "fit and proper" it could have been stripped of the license that yielded a net profit of $1.4 billion in the year ending June 30.
The Office of Communications, known as Ofcom, concluded that James Murdoch was not complicit in a cover up at the tabloid News of the World, but his failure to initiate appropriate action on a number of occasions was "difficult to comprehend and ill-judged."
The report also found no evidence that Rupert Murdoch, James' father and CEO of News Corp., "acted in a way that was inappropriate in relation to phone hacking, concealment or corruption by employees" of his British newspapers.
Though Ofcom said it might review the situation if there are further revelations, the decision removed any immediate threat of BSkyB losing its license. The company's shares were up 0.9 percent at 733.5 pence in late morning trading in London.
"After a lengthy review process, we are pleased that Ofcom has now reached its conclusion and we look forward to continuing to develop our business for the benefit of customers and shareholders alike," BSkyB said in a statement.
News Corp. also welcomed the regulator's decision but contended that some statements about James Murdoch were "not substantiated by evidence."
James Murdoch became executive chairman of News Group Newspapers ? publisher of The Sun and the now-defunct News of the World ? and its parent company News International ? which also owns The Times newspapers ? in January 2008 and held the position until February this year. Both companies are ultimately owned by News Corp.
The phone hacking scandal, along with other allegations, has spawned investigations by a Parliamentary committee, a formal inquiry led by a judge, criminal charges against some journalists ? including Rebekah Brooks, former chief executive of News International ? and civil suits which forced the company to pay large settlements.
Public outrage following reports that the phone of a young murder victim had been hacked also led to News Corp. deciding two years ago to drop its bid to take full control of BSkyB.
Ofcom noted contradictory evidence by James Murdoch and two former senior employees about when Murdoch became aware that phone hacking at the News of the World went far beyond the company's long-standing claim that it involved a single rogue reporter and a private detective.
However, it said there was no evidence that he knew of "widespread wrongdoing or criminality" at News of the World.
The regulator limited itself to criticizing James Murdoch's actions as company director.
"We consider James Murdoch's conduct, including his failure to initiate action on his own account on a number of occasions, to be both difficult to comprehend and ill-judged."
Since February, James Murdoch has been a non-executive director of the company, and one of only four people on the 12-member board with connections to News Corp.
In May, the House of Commons' Culture, Media and Sport Committee concluded that Rupert Murdoch was "not a fit person to exercise the stewardship of a major international company." That conclusion, on a partisan split of 6-4, had no practical effect, however.
In its statement, News Corp. said it was pleased that Ofcom found that evidence related to misdeeds at the newspapers "does not provide any basis to conclude that News Corp. and Rupert Murdoch acted in a way that was inappropriate, and that there is similarly no evidence that James Murdoch deliberately engaged in any wrongdoing."
"We disagree, however, with certain of the report's statements about James Murdoch's prior actions as an executive and Director, which are not at all substantiated by evidence," News Corp. said.

Rules And Regulation In Ice Hockey
Ice Hockey is a very popular sport in Canada and it is also the winter national sport there. Ice hockey is played on ice hockey with curved sticks and a puck. In the whole game, all players try to score by shooting the puck in the opponent team's net. Like any other sport, ice hockey also have some rules. These rules are maintained by mainly three organizations which are Hockey Canada, USA Hockey and International Ice Hockey Federation. These organization have their own set of rules. Rules of USA Hockey and Canada Hockey are used mainly in North America in amateur hockey. Rulebook of International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) is used in both amateur and professional hockey leagues.
With time new rules are introduced and some old are changed to improve the game play. At professional level rules are changed or introduced to make the game more interesting and exciting to the spectators. The rules of ice hockey Canada and USA hockey are different primarily in technical matters, like the severity of the penalties handed out for different fouls. The rules of IIHF differs because of the differences in the dimensions of the North American hockey rinks from the rest of the world. These different leagues are trying to move towards the same direction. Hockey Canada and USA Hockey are trying to make their rulebook more similar to the international rulebook, so that a standardized rulebook can be created.
Evolving separately from amateur rules is the reason of NHL being different from others. In past few years of NHL games, the low scores has started a debate on change of wide variety of rules that include enlarging the size of the goal, to make offensive zone larger, breaking ties with penalty shot shootout, eliminating two line pass and restricting where goaltender handles can handle the puck.
In IIHF rulebook there are five sections, which are ice rink, teams, players and equipment, officials and their duties, playing rules and the fifth is penalties. Since 1908, IIHF has been developing, promoting and governing the men's and women's inline and ice hockey all over the world. IIHF also handles the promotion and sponsorships of the games by using media and other methods. IIHF has about 63 member-nations. Number of members of IIHF were steadily increased during 1980s and 90s. Greece, Ireland, Brazil, Chinese Taipei, India, Thailand and Namibia are some of those countries which became member of the IIHF in last 15 years.
