After my last post, I remembered my friend telling me about a project was done by students of Sir Syed University. The project was termed as “Boltay Haath”
The aim of the project was to develop a sign language recognition device for computers. An innovative concept indeed.
I do not have a video for this but I believe that the text and algorithms developed by the students in the above link will provide a good insight.

Who watches the watchmen? SEC senior staffers used government computers to browse for booty, according to a memo.
Dr. Israr Ahmed, a renowned muslim scholar of Pakistan, passed away. Dr. Israr dedicated his life to the study of Quran and to the propagation of The Message.
His supporters describe him as having spent the “last forty years” actively engaged in “reviving the Qur’an-centered Islamic perennial philosophy and world-view” with “the ultimate objective of establishing a true Islamic State, or the System of Khilafah.” [2] Ahmed is skeptical of the efficacy of “parliamentary politics of give-and-take” in establishing an “Islamic politico-socio-economic system” as implementing this system is a “revolutionary process”.[3] Wikipedia

Commercial Bankruptcies Rose 52 Percent in 2009
Commercial bankruptcy protection filings rose by more than 50 percent last year, according to data filed Thursday, showing how the recession continued to cull businesses even as the economy stabilized.
Toward the end of the year, however, the pace of filings abated, according to the data released Thursday by credit reporting agency Equifax Inc.
Commercial filings hit 117,659 last year, up 52 percent from the 77,638 filed in 2008, Equifax reported.
That’s nearly four times the number of filings in 2006, when such bankruptcy filings hit an all-time low near 3,000.
In the October to December period of 2009, filings were up only 12 percent and by December, filings were up only 3 percent compared with the corresponding period in 2008, according to Equifax.
The bankruptcies spread across the U.S., although California was one of the most hard hit.
In the fourth quarter alone, the Los Angeles, Sacramento and Riverside, Calif. metropolitan areas led the nation in filings, as they did in the second and third quarters. Other areas with a high number of filings in the fourth quarter included Portland, Ore., Denver, New York and Chicago.
