Please be careful Satellite UARS falling on Earth,it is just days away from taking a fiery plunge into Earth’s atmosphere, location unspecified as predicted by the scientist of NASA's . The Weight of Satelight is approx Seven Ton. Its (NASA's satellite) size of a school bus.
As the satellite descends to an altitude of about 50 miles (80 kilometers), friction with the atmosphere is converted to light and heat. As it moves on a relatively slow one could almost use the adjective “majestic” – flight across the sky, what is usually seen is a long trail of light and sparks that can take on virtually every color of the rainbow.

Small chunks/parts of the satellite may be seen to break off and trail behind the main body. If the re-entry occurs at night, it could light up the sky with a brilliance that easily rivals the full moon. Even if it occurs during the daytime, the satellite's fiery passage across the sky could be readily seen.

On & After the fall of Satelight do not touch or visit the adjoining areas, as said by the Scientist.

Please share this news..

Reliance Industries have maintained a lot of secrecy about their 4G plans but the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) director general, Rajan S Mathews recently confirmed that Reliance will launch their 4G network by December this year.

Mathews said that first BWA network will start rolling out by December this year. Reliance will start this and other operators like Airtel will follow the suit. They will launch their service by 2012 Q1.

He further added that they have used LTE technology for 4G. However, there haven’t been any announcements made because of security clearance issues and there aren’t any 4G devices in India either.
Both WiMax and LTE offer high speeds of wireless broadband access. The theoretical speeds go beyond 100 Mbps and users get real speeds of around 10 Mbps on the networks. Another great thing here that there is backward LTE compatibility with both CDMA and GSM networks.

Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) spectrum was held in June 2011 and the winner of licences was Infotel Broadband (which is owned now by Reliance Industries). They got licences for 22 circles where as Aircel got eight. Qualcomm and Bharti Airtel both got four each. Augere got one and Tikona managed five.

LOGO IDEA FOR BIG BROTHER 2012 SEASON 9
I have created a sample animated logo for Big Brother 2012 season, I thing it will help Big brother logo maker. You can put your comment about this logo.
Big brother is one of the best TV series in the world.
All world is waiting for Big Brother, Big Boss 2012 etc.


But this is not working(moving) when i upload it here.
PLEASE put your comment about this logo

Big Brother is a television show in which a group of people live together in a large house, isolated from the outside world but continuously watched by television cameras. Each series lasts for around three months, and there are usually fewer than 15 participants. The housemates try to win a cash prize by avoiding periodic evictions from the house. The idea for the show is said to have come during a brainstorm session at the Dutch production house of John de Mol Produkties (an independent part of Endemol) on 4 September 1997. The first Big Brother broadcast was in the Netherlands in 1999 on the Veronica TV channel. It was picked up by Brazil, Germany, Argentina, Portugal, USA, UK, Spain, Belgium, Sweden, Switzerland and Italy the following year and became a world-wide sensation. Since then it has been a prime-time hit in almost 70 countries. The show's name comes from George Orwell's 1949 novel Nineteen Eighty-Four, a dystopia in which Big Brother can always spy on the inhabitants of the dictatorship he heads through their television sets, with the slogan "Big Brother is watching you." Today the series is produced by Miller-Boyett productions, in association with Lorimar television distribution.

Book Summary of SQL Wait Stats Joes 2 Pros
When you see the word “I” followed by a business or client example, it will be a first person experience account from author Pinal Dave during his vast experience consulting in the field. Some of the experiences of Rick Morelan will be added as concepts. Bear in mind that the study of wait types is a vast subject, and it would be difficult for one person to understand every wait type and its associated statistics. SQL Server 2008 R2 includes nearly 500 wait types, and this number will increase in the next version of SQL Server (codename “Denali”).

Wait types are not new to SQL Server but the techniques to interpret this feature are not widely available. Performance tuning has been a mainstream concern for SQL professionals for many years. There are many tactics which experts use to tune servers, queries, and systems; however, techniques for using wait types, wait queues, and wait statistics in performance tuning are understood by relatively few in our industry.

This book is a humble attempt to make these concepts more accessible to SQL developers. We consider this book a first version of the ongoing research in this area. Of the hundreds of wait types, this book covers the most visible ones. This initial volume doesn’t cover the wait statistics with less significance or ones seldom seen. Again, every wait type potentially has multiple solutions and we have attempted to cover the common solutions. While you read and implement suggestions, we highly recommend that you attempt them first on your development server before implementing them on your production server.

Please send us feedback as you try out various solutions based on the wait types. We will incorporate your experience in a future version of the book, which will include an expanded write up with more real world scenarios and many more wait types.

About the Author
Pinal works as a Technology Evangelist with Microsoft India. He has been a part of the IT industry for more than seven years. During his career he has worked both in India and the US, primarily with SQL Server Technology - right from version 6.5 to its latest form. Pinal has worked on many performance tuning and optimization projects for high transactional systems. He received his Master of Science from the University of Southern California and a Bachelors of Engineering from Gujarat University.

Additionally, he holds many Microsoft certificates. He has been a regular speaker at many international events like TechEd, SQL PASS, MSDN, TechNet, and countless user groups.

Pinal writes frequently on his blog http://blog.SQLAuthority.com on various subjects concerning SQL Server technology and Business Intelligence. His passion for the community drives him to share his training and knowledge. Before joining Microsoft, he was awarded the Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) in SQL Server Technology for three continuous years for his outstanding community service. He was also awarded the Community Impact Award – Individual Contributor for Y2010. When he is not in front of a computer, he is usually travelling to explore hidden treasures in nature with his toddler daughter, Shaivi, and very supportive wife, Nupur.

In 1994 you could find Rick Morelan braving the frigid waters of the Bering Sea as an Alaska commercial fisherman. His computer skills were non-existent at the time, so you might not imagine such beginnings would lead him to SQL Server expertise at Microsoft. However, every computer expert in the world today woke up at some point in his or her life knowing nothing about computers. They say luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. In the case of Rick Morelan, people were a big part of his good luck.

Making the change from the fishing industry seemed scary and took daily schooling at Catapult Software Training Institute. Rick got his lucky break in August 1995, working his first database job at Microsoft. Since that time, Rick has worked more than 10 years at Microsoft and has attained over 30 Microsoft technical certifications in applications, networking, databases, and .NET Development.
