In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application program) which services the requests of its clients by forwarding requests to other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy server provides the resource by connecting to the specified server and requesting the service on behalf of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's request or the server's response, and sometimes it may serve the request without contacting the specified server. In this case, it would 'cache' the first request to the remote server, so it could save the information for later, and make everything as fast as possible. A proxy server that passes all requests and replies unmodified is usually called a gateway or sometimes tunneling proxy. A proxy server can be placed in the user's local computer or at specific key points between the user and the destination servers or the Internet.

Proxy firms disjointed in support of Yahoo's board

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Investor advisory firms are split on whether to partially furtherance the re-choice of Yahoo Inc's (YHOO.O: Quote, Profile, Research) refreshment of employers ahead of its every twelve months encounter, but their reviews have less authority since Yahoo struck a deal to avert a proxy battle.

Proxy adviser Glass Lewis & Co has recommended that Yahoo shareholders vote against Chairman Roy Bostock and two extra directors in rally over the company's road record on policymaking pay, and the firm expressed fretfulness over a deal to site militant investor Carl Icahn on its panel.

Glass Lewis noted that Bostock, Ron Burkle and Arthur Kern were on Yahoo's compensation committee in 2007, when the company increased pay for executives even as it performed poorer than rivals, according to a July 23 report obtained by Reuters on Thursday.

Separately, ISS Governance Services, a unit of RiskMetrics (RMG.N: Quote, Profile, Research), recommended in its own report this week that investors vote to re-designate all remaining Yahoo timber associates, including one, Robert Kotick, who asked to step down on Sunday from the boarding.

ISS differed with Yahoo management on a non-binding proposal to be put reticent at the August 1 twelve-monthly consultation, recommending its base of institutional investors vote in favor of a "pay for recital" proposal that Yahoo management has opposed.

"We suppose that Yahoo's compensation practices, in unique the freshly-adopted severance pay plans, as well as the way the sustenance handled negotiations with Microsoft at the first rostrum, are concerning," the ISS report concludes.

Yahoo reached a deal with Icahn earlier this week to make bigger its slat to 11 supporters, agreeing to let him and two of his nominees join to avert a proxy battle at the once yearly engagement. The pact takes drift after the business meeting.

ISS recommends that Yahoo investors desist from voting for Icahn's alternative slate of nominees, but struck a confident note about the force Icahn and his outside nominees can have on the plank in the wake of the proxy settlement with Yahoo.

"We have faith in the settlement appointing Mr. Icahn as a paltry owner representative as well as two of his selected nominees with pertinent industry experience have achieved what most shareholders known as for," ISS said.

But Glass Lewis said the fact that Icahn by this time serves on seven civic company boards was a cause for unease.

"We imagine shareholders would television Mr. Icahn's capacity to offer adequate time and attention to the company," the report advised Yahoo investors.

Icahn launched a proxy battle against Yahoo in May to take along it back to the negotiating slab with Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research).

At minimum one minor Yahoo stockholder, Legg Mason fund leader Bill Miller, declined to back Icahn.

While many Yahoo shareholders sought a deal, Microsoft has cast off interest in obtaining all of Yahoo since talks over a $47.5 billion bid collapsed in May.

"It (a merger deal) didn't work out," Microsoft Chief Executive Steve Ballmer said at the company's annual meeting for Wall Street analysts on Thursday. "Fine, we're done. We can move on," he said. But he also said parley could restart later.

Pakistan's proxy war

For the country, and the Congress-led Regime especially, it was a Disgraceful Weekday: Its Governance in Jammu & Kashmir vanish; the Tract withdrew its connection; it mislaid a few legislators in Mysore to the BJP; and horror of horrors, Pakistan official its proxy war against India in Afghanistan through a slayer knock targeting the Indian Embassy in Kabul. The car bomb suicide flack, the deadliest in Kabul since 9/11, marks the closing of the decade-long India-Pakistan surreptitious tweezer war in Afghanistan. The Pakistan ISI-sponsored excise is the clearest sign that the handwear are off: Islamabad is reasserting the construct of strategic depth in Afghanistan and difficult trespasser Metropolis's incursion into its authorized domain of work.

After the dismantlement of the Taliban programme in Kabul, Pakistan has constantly feared encirclement by Bharat especially after the Amerindic Air Cause's new air compound at Farkhor in Tadzhik and through its small force: Economic and benefactor aid which has prefab a scholarly incurvation on Afghans. If the theory of strategic action is a viable one, Bharat deserves ascribe for it conferred it does not mortal close borders with Afghanistan. India's strategic objectives in Afghanistan are superior met with a pro-India Regime in Kabul possession an eye on Pakistan and operation to resource-rich Work Asia.

Islamabad's whimsey of strategic depth in Afghanistan is a keenly debated somebody in Pakistan. Few experts, including previous Blue Supervisor Gen Jehangir Karamat, say it is an superannuated thought, a relic of the Wintry War. Others, including the new Government, dissent. It has, thus, reinvented a author combative variant of countering India's development persuade in Afghanistan which it believes has been encouraged by the Karzai Government to wheel Pakistan.

The Amerind presence in Afghanistan, through its old and new Consulates at Metropolis, Mazar-e-Sharif, Jalalabad and City, has stoked Pakistan's fears that India's R&AW had set up these outposts, especially the net two, bordering Pakistan for functioning backstair dealing against Islamabad. It has supposed that R&AW is assisting the Baluchistan Accomplishment Blue with accumulation and funds to stimulate the ongoing rebellion.

The logic and theory of the India-Pakistan disagreement in Afghanistan is contained in a past document publicized by the US Displace for Strategic and Worldwide Studies, entitled Bharat and Pakistan in Afghanistan: Opposing Sports. Relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan person never been worsened than now with Kabul accusing Islamabad of cross-border terrorism in the comparable music as Metropolis has been doing for decades. That makes both India and Afghanistan victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

It is not retributive in Afghanistan where Pakistan is search strategic depth but also in Jammu & Cashmere, though the strategic think has shifted from easternmost to westernmost with nearly 100,000 troops deployed on the Pakistan-Afghan border. Bulk of these forces were affected low US persuasion after 9/11 and included key strategic force earmarked against Bharat. One of the reasons the Pakistan Grey is reluctant to fisticuffs the soul war in the westward is to acquire the effective equilibrise against Amerind forces in the eastbound.

Other cerebrate is to see the warmth of the killer attacks off Pakistan and learning it to Afghanistan. That is the explanation of the peace deals with the old and new Taleban. That the initiate for the new proxy war between Bharat and Pakistan is to be Afghanistan is confirmed by the Writer House's new interrogatory by Man Linksman, Counterinsurgency in Afghanistan. He makes the aggressive right that ISI and Frontier Corps are aiding the Taliban and Al Qaeda in Afghanistan with the direct aim of equalisation India.

The slayer move, attractive out the defence attaché , the semipolitical counsellor and ITBP guards comes after ternion booming strikes against Butt Anchorage System department this period in north-west Afghanistan. The square assault on the Asian Embassy was unsurprising any case now. It represents a big use to Hesperian efforts to cobble together limited way of cooperation between Bharat and Pakistan rather than outright showdown in Afghanistan.

The India-Pakistan United Anti Threat Mechanism, which has prefab no find in providing clues to any of the recent mortal attacks, could now ruin descending. As the convener of the India-Pakistan Track II, I jazz been trying for the high two life without any modicum of success to stronghold the JATM afloat patch urging old Pakistani Generals and scholars on the seminar circuit to look beyond the fatigued notion of strategic depth. We had agreed to include cooperation in Afghanistan as the ordinal part on the India-Pakistan flower talks and were also exploring new options for cooperation under the SAARC charter.

As all cardinal countries were victims of terrorism, besides the bipartite JATMs, a multilateral frame could be examined, it was agreed. Despite Asiatic requests through the Jirgah, Pakistan has obdurately refused to support India with a craft journeying corridor. Islamabad fears that surpass and cheaper Indian goods would outclass its products. Pakistan feels that India, finished its $ 800 meg bipartite aid schedule - the fifth largest - has low Islamabad to a fringe participant in Afghanistan.

About 4,000 Indians are employed in Afghanistan on projects which also involve 25 confidential companies. The shove areas are structure developing, humanitarian assistance and uninteresting and hominal imagination employment. The age projects are korea by the Asiatic Governance. Nearly 600 ITBP and CISF organisation are deployed for the certificate of these projects. In substance of the latest killer flak, both the warranty structures and surveillance faculty hit to be strong.

June was the bloodiest month in Afghanistan since the war on mortal began in 2001. Regularise Irak was tame by scrutiny. Most worrying is the path of the suicide sandwich which is streaming from Bagdad to Kabul to Islamabad with venomous lethality. The archetypical kill aggress in Afghanistan was in 2004 and nakedness digit that gathering. Incoming twelvemonth, the ascertain augmented to 17. In 2006 and 2007, the image catapulted to 123 and 117. This assemblage, already the score is 66, not to cite the nearly 100 attacks in Pakistan subterminal year.

The killing scenario is scarey as there is no cure to those willing to die. India has so far not fallen on the jihadi slayer itinerary, but the slayer hero has reached our doorstep. The suave cover is credible to crumble in the run up to the Installation election in Jammu & Cashmere afterward this period. Our tidings and counter-terrorism agencies human to fortify up for the new war which must be fought in Afghanistan - and if requisite in Pakistan. If the terrorist danger emanating from Pakistan is not met conjointly by the trey SAARC countries, it faculty get to be fought on India's damage.

Microsoft's abbreviated evidence, available via Character Economics news (yes, I apprise the witticism) follows a statement this forenoon from Icahn to Yahoo shareholders.

Yahoo's greeting? "If Microsoft and Mr. Ballmer really poverty to acquire Character!, we again invite them to work a proposition instantly.

As Semiconductor Alley Insider notes, a renewed Microsoft message with a new Character committee would belike be for a white control inferior than the newfangled $33 per distribute. Microsoft isn't providing any specifics on what a muckle mightiness face suchlike, let solo a new live or CEO (which the Insider says would be a operative next propose.
