Airbus Military celebrates first A400M delivery to French Air Force
More than 700 people celebrated the delivery of the first production A400M new generation airlifter to the French Air Force at a ceremony at the Airbus Military Final Assembly Line (FAL) at Seville, Spain on 30 September.
Madrid, 30 September 2013
HRH Prince of Asturias, French Minister of Defence Jean-Yves Le Drian, Spanish Minister of Defence, Pedro Morenés, as well as other military authorities from France and other partner nations and OCCAR representatives attended the ceremony along with EADS CEO Tom Enders, Airbus Military CEO Domingo Ureña-Raso and more than 300 Airbus and Airbus Military staff.
The aircraft, the first of 50 ordered by France and of a total of 174 on order, will be based at Orleans – Bricy Air Base and initially used for training before being deployed on military and humanitarian missions.

About the A400M
The A400M is an all-new military airlifter designed to meet the needs of the world's Armed Forces in the 21st Century. Thanks to its advanced technologies, it is able to fly higher, faster and further, while retaining high manoeuvrability, excellent low speed handling, and the ability to use short and unpaved runways. It combines both tactical and strategic/logistic missions, and air-to-air refuelling. With its cargo hold specifically designed to carry the outsize equipment needed today for both military and humanitarian disaster relief missions, it can bring this material quickly and directly to where it is most needed. Conceived to be highly reliable, dependable, and survivable, the multipurpose A400M can do more with less, implying smaller fleets and less investment from the operator. The A400M is the most cost efficient and versatile airlifter ever conceived and absolutely unique in its capabilities.

For dinner, we decided to go with Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen in Downtown Disney. Ralph's offers some great New Orleans dishes along with some great jazz for your entertaining pleasure.
You feel like you're in New Orleans when you first walk into the restaurant. There is a huge fountain when you first walk in and the upstairs looks like the balconies of the famed French Quarter houses. Inside you will find bands serving up the jazz hot, just like you would find in New Orleans. We were lucky enough to eat on the patio and it is just simply beautiful with the wrought iron that typifies New Orleans gracious homes. Also stop in at the bathrooms! Just go and you will see why I mentioned it!
All four of us enjoyed a terrific meal. Sandy went with the crab cakes, Tammy went with Roasted Rosemary Chicken, and Margret had Tournedos de Beef. I didn't sample anyone else's, but everyone said their meal was terrific.
Now I heard how wonderful their gumbo was and decided I had to go with that. I had the Ya-Ya Gumbo. This heavenly soup of dark roux has both chicken and andouille sausage along with Cajun spices and rice. Now that was some good gumbo. I also had the Tri-Colored Spring Salad. This delightful salad consisted of radicchio, frisee, and watercress with mango and homemade croutons. It also comes with avocado if you like it. It is topped with their homemade raspberry pecan dressing. Yummy! I was quite happy with my meal.
For dessert, we had double chocolate bread pudding, banana fosters flambe' and beignets. The pudding was nice and fluffy and tasted nothing like bread pudding. It tasted more like a mousse, which is great since I am not a fan of bread pudding. My beignets wqere to die for. If you have never experienced this little peace of heaven, then what the heck is the matter with you? These deep fried pillows of dough are covered with powdered sugar and just melt in your mouth. Oh, and there is no way to avoid powdered sugar on you. But people will know where you have been and understand why you are walking around with white stuff smeared on your shirt.
Our group also ordered Bananas Foster, which is an experience all on its own. Our wonderful waitress, Alexis, brought out her little grill. After finally getting a flame she put butter and brown sugar in the pan and added some bananas. Then she added rum and banana liquor and for some dazzle it is on fire before your very eyes! Quite stunning and everyone walking by stopped and applauded.
The food here is wonderful and our waitress, Alexis, was a doll. For more information visit them at www.rbjazzkitchen.com. Hours are typically 11-2 am , but always double check. You can make priority reservations at (704) 781-DINE. I would highly suggest them.

Annual with erect stem is leafy and branching above. Leaflets occur in threes. Branched stems have palmately compound leaves and, in racemes at ends of branches, pink or reddish-purple flowers (sometimes white). Showy clusters of pink flowers continue to elongate during the season, so that the slender seed capsules may be present even while the upper portion of the inflorescence in still flowering. Six conspicuous stamens protrude beyond the pink petals. Rocky Mountain beeplant may attain 4-5 ft.
Flowers produce copious nectar and attract bees, hence the common name. Indians boiled the strong leaves for food and as a stomachache remedy. In times of drought early Spanish-Americans made tortillas from the barely palatable but nourishing seeds.

Williams-Sonoma Honey
- Summary
In the lush climate of Florida, flowers and trees produce abundant blossoms, and the local bees produce some of America's finest honey, naturally flavored with their aromatic pollen. Our signature honey trio offers three favorites – light-bodied Tupelo, medium-bodied Wildflower and full-bodied Orange Blossom – crafted by the bees and carefully harvested by local beekeepers using centuries-old apiarist methods. And because it's never heated, filtered or pasteurized, our raw honey maintains all its natural vitamins, minerals and flavor.
Tupelo Honey: From Gulf County, this rare variety is created by bees who feed on the nectar of blossoms from tupelo gum trees, which bloom for just a few weeks each year.
Wildflower Honey: Legendary for its subtle, complex flavors, this luscious honey is created from the pollen and nectar of more than a dozen different flowers, trees, bushes and grasses in the Florida Panhandle.
Orange Blossom Honey: Created in central and southern Florida by honeybees, our rich, creamy honey has the fruity, floral sweetness of a citrus grove in full bloom.
- 8 oz. each.
- Made in USA.
- Ingredients
- 100% honey.

If you are planning a meeting for the year 2000, you need to address the so-called Y2K problem. In brief: Most computers cannot properly process a post-1999 date field. The result is that without significant reprogramming, most computers could reject a date such as February 1, 2000 altogether, or erroneously interpret it as February 1, 1900.
In comparison to its potential impact on national defense or air-traffic control, the Y2K problem for the meeting planning industry is relatively minor. Nevertheless there are plenty of nightmarish scenarios to consider.
If the software used to track hotel reservations or meeting registration is not Y2K compliant, registrations could be lost, housing records could be wrong, and overbooking and/or undercounting could result. Indeed, hotels simply might not be able to process reservations accurately, which could lead to room-block errors, mistakes in food-and-beverage calculations, and erroneous attrition charges. Billing software glitches could lead to confusion over payments and credits.
The more complex the meeting the more likely it is that Y2K problems could increase exponentially. While you can be thankful you're not an air traffic controller, you've still got your work cut out for you.
Y2K Assurances It is increasingly common for customers to demand--and receive--written assurances that their suppliers are compliant, and that Y2K problems will not prevent them from performing their obligations. An unwillingness or inability to provide such assurances, particularly at this comparatively late date, is a red flag.
Assurances or representations concerning Y2K compliance also can be incorporated into written contracts. For example, meeting planners should try to get written assurances that the vendor:
* has reviewed its operations for Y2K compliance;
* has developed, or is developing, a program to address Y2K problems in a timely fashion;
* has made a related inquiry of its relevant suppliers and vendors; and, based on such review,
* is satisfied that Y2K problems will not cause material adverse effects on the performance of the contract.
Such representations should be backed up by a clause in which the meeting planner is indemnified against any losses arising from a Y2K problem.
What Goes Around Of course, turnabout is fair play. Meeting planners should be prepared to respond to similar requests from their own customers or others with whom they have contractual agreements. If it hasn't been done already, now is the time to review computer operations, determine Y2K compliance, and identify and address potential problems.
When responding to requests for Y2K compliance assurances from third parties, be sure only to make representations that are completely accurate. Ideally, any such responses should be reviewed by legal counsel. Whenever possible, seek to limit your organization's Y2K liability to third parties by excluding certain types of damages (e.g., lost profits) or, better yet, by excluding potential liability for Y2K problems altogether.
Late last year, President Clinton signed into law the Year 2000 Information and Readiness Disclosure Act. Its purpose is to encourage companies to share Y2K compliance information about their products and services. Thus, the act limits the circumstances under which Y2K disclosure statements can be used against the persons making them and imposes strict proof requirements in legal actions claiming fraud or defamation from a Y2K statement.
For the protections of the act to apply, the Y2K disclosure statement must be specifically identified as a "Y2K readiness statement." In addition, the act provides that exchanges of information that take place before 2001 and are designed to correct or avoid Y2K problems are not subject to antitrust laws.
Neither the meeting industry nor any industry that relies on computer-based information systems (and what doesn't?) is likely to make a completely trouble-free transition into the year 2000. With some planning and preparation, however, the Y2K bug's impact can be kept to a minimum.

What are recent graduates doing now?
"D" graduated three years ago. During his time at UST, he worked with a faculty member on research and completed an internship. After graduation he attended Georgetown University and earned a masters degree in security and terrorism studies. He works for a firm that does consulting work on security and terrorism issues for the U.S. government.
"J" graduated about six years ago. After graduation he obtained an entry level position with a private security company. He continues to work in the area of security and is in charge of hiring security personnel for a company that secures assets for corporations across several different states.
Learning opportunities outside of the classroom:
Internships. Criminal justice majors have interned with local law enforcement agencies including the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension and both Hennepin and Ramsey counties. Majors also have interned with corporations including Target and Gander Mountain. While an internship is not required, it is essential for students who want to work in the criminal justice system immediately after graduation.
Law Enforcement. Students who are interested in becoming police officers in the state of Minnesota must pass the Minnesota Board of Peace Officer Standards and Training (POST). The University of St. Thomas and the criminal justice major is POST accredited and approved to prepare students for the POST licensing exam. Completing the criminal justice major successfully is only one step in the process for qualifying to take the POST exam.
Faculty–Student Research. Faculty members have presented papers at professional meetings with student co-authors, organized poster sessions at professional meetings to showcase student research, and published papers in professional journals with student co-authors.
Study abroad. While we do not have a freestanding study abroad program, we have faculty with active interests in researching and teaching abroad. We strongly encourage our students to take advantage of opportunities to learn in and from a different culture. Recently, criminal justice majors have studied abroad in Australia and Ireland.
Faculty at work
The criminal justice faculty have active research agendas, many of which include student researchers. For example, one member of the department is examining the criminalization of cell phone use. Another is examining social disorganization of neighborhoods and crime.
What jobs are possible with a Criminal Justice major?
- Local and state police
- Probation/parole
- Corrections
- Federal agencies

This is not an empty rant against the ruling class. It is much more — it is an expression of utter and total condemnation. It is a notice. The entire country stood as one, a rare occurrence, behind Nirbhaya who passed away in Singapore on December 29. Her tragic death generated deep anguish, yes. But there was also deep disgust. Citizens raised their voices across platforms and demanded that this day be permanently marked as the Day of Shame. Will that happen? More importantly, will that help? How does one shame the shameless in any case?
Behind all the emotional outbursts, one thing was constant — the vociferous demand for justice. The demand for change. Not years from now. But immediately. Perhaps, this is precisely the tipping point India has been waiting for. Here was one case which touched countless hearts and pushed an important concern to centre stage in a way no other case or movement has in recent memory. It took a horrific rape to expose our politicians. Suddenly the netas of Delhi were stripped naked. And there was no place to hide. Years of strutting around pompously and grand standing during one crisis after another, provided zero protection to these people as enraged citizenry took to the streets crying out for better governance, sickened by the apathy and abuse of power. The moment of truth was finally here. And the reins got seamlessly transferred into the hands of the people of India.
Announcing a commission to examine what went so horribly wrong in the 23-year-old girl's case, is a ruse that will no longer work. Those days of buying time and fobbing off angry citizens with empty assurances of 'looking into the matter' are over. This was the old way of doing things. Young India is not ready to play ball with such deception. As was amply demonstrated at India Gate, yes, by those very dented and painted people. Had even one of these leaders bothered to meet protestors during those early days when storm clouds were rapidly gathering over the Capital, perhaps this clumsy, even callous debacle could have been better managed.
The young girl would have died regardless. That was a given from the word go. But we would have been spared the farce of watching the meaningless airlift to Singapore. That was the final straw. It was the wrong decision taken for the wrong reasons, by the wrong people. It fooled nobody . If anything, it further fanned the flames of collective anger. Citizens instinctively saw through the political game that was being played out in such a brazen manner. That high-minded gesture was not about saving a critically injured girl. It was about saving their own face. And faking concern. It was already too late. The time for such hypocrisy and sham is unequivocally over.
If those in positions of power refuse to recognize what this crisis is all about, it will be their tragedy. While a disenfranchised woman's heartrending plea — "Mummy, I want to live!" — fell on deaf ears and was dismissed by deadened souls, it was left to the people of India to continue the struggle, while our leaders resolutely and foolishly refused to meet protestors. Such aloofness . Such cowardice. It is going to cost. And cost big time.
Leadership is about engagement. Real leaders do not run away from crises. But ours have specialized in burying their heads during any emergency hoping it will resolve itself and disappear on its own. This was one time they miscalculated — and how. The courageous young girl is dead. But there is an elephant in the room. An elephant that refuses to turn tail and leave. Ignoring the animal is not an option. But which of our mighty leaders is ready to take on the challenge and deal with not just the elephant, but the hungry beast that is on the prowl. It is a beast without a name. It is ferocious and cannot be tamed.The power of this beast is bigger than the state. This insatiable creature is about to gobble up Delhi. Water cannons, lathi charges…even bullets, will not stop its march.
2013 belongs to the Citizen of India. Have a great year ahead, readers.

We will change the cruel people who inflict pain. Better policing and longer prison terms are some legal measures. Women's organizations will have to be started, so that women feel empowered. Civic amenties like good street lights and cleaner streets are needed too.
Our Voices often goes into deaf ears.. But the wide protests are also not the correct way to make our voices being heard. Solution is to elect a NEW GOVNT. this time independent Candidate. Lets Give chance to Arvind Kejrival and Hope for Best.
We had been expecting a bit too much from the people we nominate we are and we would continue it in future as well ,WHY ? they have their limitations ,they show their helplessness, they give-up .By keeping mum they wanted to covey it to the Nation that they are incapable of handling this situation in a way they are openly asking us to suggest them what they should do and how it is to be done ! they will follow it religiously ! the only thing is that we don't get their silent messages. Lots of people have sent their suggestions to Honourable justice ( retired) Ms. Usha Mehra and I am sure she would come up with concrete solution to it but .................. may I ask you a very simple question Yes to all of you ! Are we incapable of creating our own strong network to fight against such situation? we have shown them a glimpse of our unity at Rajpath can't we do it on regular basis in a very systematic way ? Make them answerable to the public within a short and definite period of time ? HOW ? every person of our nation belongs to some part of land whom he can relate himself with. people living in that area automatically become a part of society ,some may name it mohhala, other call it colony, and the approved name for such places is RWA residents Welfare Association . My suggestion let these officials or concerned person be answerable to RWA authorities in case they refuse or show reluctance then a few RWA 'S may join together and put extra pressure I have a plan and this plan is named S-52 which I am confident will work smoothly this is going to be the first step toward building ourselves strong against facing such challenges . ashok sehgal
The basic issue is what provided the free reins to the incumbent govt. that helps it pass time comfortably in the absence of governance and s'd this nefarious attitude be supported any more. Following the incidence, the lackluster approach taken by the govt. to deal with the issues has left it bare before the masses as excuses are not to satisfy them now at all. Did the govt. or system sacrificed the victim in this way to serve any purpose as making mockery of her ill health was not required at least, what is clear now is that the vested interests must have been working behind it. She was about to be put to the trash without being noticed as many other such victim by the police but perhaps circumstances favored the system to let the facts come before us. But, we need to eliminate the beast taking power in its capacity without which our purpose may not be fulfilled ever. The nation must not pay for the faults of a few so let the truth reveal itself if it helps us share it with each other and work unanimously to get to the conclusion. Democracy must be protected and the tirade is to make them listen it appropriately, govt. is required to pay heed to this development than keep attempting to curb these with violence as usual.
The country has been reduced to such sorry state of affairs by the netas by subverting all the institutions of democracy that citizens of India are unable to get justice at all. Registering an FIR is next to impossible because all the state governments control crime reporting - by not registering crime the netas want to show very low crime rates! A person like you can take good suggestions from ordinary citizens and use your pen to push the same. For example, law should be amended to treat an SMS from a rape victim as FIR. The SMS sent to a special number - say 999 - would be simultaneously received and recorded in multiple centres - police district head quarters, Home ministry, Ministry of Women & child welfare, accredited NGO dealing with women's issues, government hospital (where a wing could be created), courts etc. The idea is that no single agency like police could act on the influence of any neta or powerful people to intimidate a rape victim. The SMS received on 999 should be updated and displayed online in prominent web sites. This way even a victim in the remotest village could file an FIR through simple SMS. Suppression of rape cases would become a thing of the past and the names of the rapists would become public knowledge (the SMS template should contain the name of the rapist). I feel time has come when journalists like you wiled the pen with solutions in mind!
While I agree with the article's gist, we also must keep in mind that the political class is only a representation of our society in general. Maybe more amplified versions, but representative of the general populace. When a society becomes apathetic, and leaders are chosen not for beliefs but for favours, we get the outcome that we are seeing now. It is time to speak louder with our precious votes.
Our leaders unlike those in western democracies, do not mix with common people...and removed from ground realities...it is onlybelection time they feign that they care about common people...but then these are incompetent men and women who really dont know their jobs nor the country.'s problems.in fact most of them probably dont know about their own responsibilty, they are there to earn huge money through scams,
Ms De if any one has to be blamed for this is the Common Indian rather than the neta, Reason we elect them , many like us did not bother to stop their cars to pick this badly injured girl from the road side and take her to the hospital, they could have at least informed the police. We are a late reacting people , and I am sure there must have been many in the crowd at India gate from the ones who refused to stop when she was lying on the road . What needs to be changed is not only the netas but our mind set towards women in general .
I felt as if one of my family member has left us and we couldn't do anything. As an Indian I felt ashamed and I pray God should give us strength to fight this menace in our country.We should never forget our daughter till we are successful. We should all unite and remove this Criminal from our society for ever even if we have to change the Government.
The women of India need to boycott this Republic day. that is their patriotic duty. As citizens if they are not getting their rights then a day which commemorates our constitution and Government (mind you, not our country) is the appropriate day. It will be remembered!!!
Great piece, Ms Dey. I am disgraced by the comments uttered by some our so called leaders. Instead of bringing the entire population into the 21st century, they want to push women back into the 17th century. In a free country no one should be dictated by antiquated societal norms as to how and when they can go somewhere with or without someone. We have no right to call ourselves a civilized society while all these atrocities against women are happening around us. Will this incident become the tipping point of social and legal change? With baited breath, I sure hope so.
To the kind information, BJP minister , mother sita was not in Western outfit when she was abducted. Her motherhood has compelled her to cross lakshman rekha.MAA SITA wanted to feed a hungry man who pretended to be starving. The party which is based on Hindu votes how can they comment that मर्यादा का वुल्लाघन (maryadoan ka vullangan) do you mean to say that ravana was allured. Ramayana blamed ravana for his vile attitude towards women , sita was never blamed in Ramayana that she crossed her limits. For the first time STRANGE version to Ramayana was given, that too by Bjp minister. For the kind information lakshmana has drawn the line to protect sita not to restrict and maa sita has crossed lakshman rekha to feed a hungry man as mother . If motherhood is also understood with vile attitude who is at fault , Mr Honorable Bjp minister kindly read Ramayana in depth . When you have no understanding of Sanathana Dharma don't give superficial statements about Hinduism, don't encourage the ravana inside, instead respect the sacrifice made by THE MOTHER . sanathana Dharma is not your partys personal property, contemplate deeply before coming to any such false conclusions. such wrong interpretations about the Scriptures has misguided people against Sanathana Dharma
Why blame netas only? That fleeing coward carwallas who saw these two naked on the street and drove away, were you and me and the rest of coward Indians. Day in and day out girls are molested in broad day light in full view of gathered crowd ( recently happened in Mumbai), not even one objects or tries to save the girl. It happens all over India. If any sane voice comes forward to protest, he is beaten to death, that again in full view of gathered or passer by crowd. Furor over Nirbhaya's death will soon cool down, public will soon forget everything, and things will go squarely back to normal - that is, no security for young girls. Indian citizens are not yet matured enough or angry enough to make 2013 as the year that belongs to them. If the VVIP securities ( particularly for useless netas and party leaders ) were minimized ( after all we do not even consider them valuable enough to protect paying from our tax) then 3 or 4 cities could be made safe with that money.
The author is absolutely right.
It is a right caricature of the state of affairs in India The experiences shared by the friend of the deceased on Zee-TV. It compels one to thing how we are loosing on values and to what extant we are down on moral values in addition to the infrastructure in terms of moral value go down. From Policing to Government hospitals lack humanity and on the roads there is hardly anyone to help the people under crises. Human Hearts changing to self centered approach and it is just that no one wants to extend a helping hand to the needy. I hail from Delhi and and used to have a faith Delhi Hai Wallan ki' but now the conditions seems to have changed drastically may due to one reason or the other as it is clear from the commercialization on one hand on the other we find a change it is amazing to point out that our policing has undergone big changes and it appears that need training on Moral Policing. Though I believe that all the Police force compiles of Human beings but it appears they lack a human heart to help the citizens it is not only a fact for the capital but across the Nation. It is quiet surprising that the behavioral changes and why it is loosing its image of be of being people friendly. On the Other hand the pictures of Delhi Hospitals there also seems to be deterioration may be because of over burden or lack of infrastructure and increase in the numbers of patients. Need for reforms on both the counts will be great and are required for the masses. We need to improve on the image and functioning of The Police not only in Delhi but around the nation as law keepers and provider of safety to the citizens of the country. On the other hand need of more hospitals required for treating the patients. In addition we country also needs health for all may be a distant dream now but a fact. Kuldeep Saxena, Jaipur
2012 ki bahaduri aag bhi chalti rahegi 2013 bhi ummeed rakho
Madam De, Can these shameless politicians and bureaucrats and policemen be shamed? Ever? By anyone?? How come you are sounding even that vee bit hopeful? You think anything, just anything can shame them. Not even if they sell the entire country at they shall feel ashamed. Never. You call them the leadership?? They are goons. Simply and entirely. And unashamed goons. Period.
Mrs.De The team of these shameless thug/min/leaders will bring out some cooked up explanation. 'Mom i want to live' may be media creation. Any how, during this extreme cold; we also give a cool thought about it and find out where we(UNION & State) haves gone wrong. It is beyond the scope of blog. Wish we take the look at our society/societies for whom we talk & where we stand?
well well the vociferous writer and vocalist as she is madam shobha de has come out with another rhetoric article. she should join arvind kejriwal and company soonest possible. rather than reiterating rhetoric statements why dont you come out with 5 immediate solutions which the govt must do to stop such incidents. stop naming and shaming - it leads no where
Anyone who has read what Nirbhaya's friend has said in his interview will wonder whether it is our leaders who are shameless or all those 'awakened citizens' who just watched both, Nirbhaya and her friend laying by the roadside without clothes, desperately pleading for help. And what about those car borne gentry who paused to watch the 'spectacle' and drove on. Arn't they, too, shameless? I am sure many of these carwallas were from the social class Ms. De, who promptly march to India Gate with candles, placards and slogans and then write articles denouncing politicians, police and govt. Shobhaji, aren't we all live in glass houses and yet gladly throw stones at others? Pl. note that I hold no brief for India's worthless politicians, I am just trying to point out how 'shameless' we, the people, have become
I do agree with you. But if you were there probably you would have done the same thing. Fortunately or unfortunately you were not at the scene. Fortunately for the reason that if you were to help the victims you would have been summoned by the police and politicians as well 100s of times and then the court visits. You may be induced to commit suicide if you tell truth. Unfortunately for the reason that a few like you would have been of great help to the society. It is better to be a Eunuch and live a dogs life here in this nation where frauds are revered and Gods are denigrated. However I am very Proud of you.
(Reply to Confusius confused)-
kkar40 I disagree with you, and 100% agree with ..."confused"..., Think cooly, no average person with common sense would have stopped to help, however GUILTY he may feel. Reason is simple. Not only the police but also the courts and the politicians and the street goondas who are hand in glove withthe police, would have made your life an endless torture of "tarikh pe tarikh" visits after visits to the police stations/courts for most trivial reasons. You will regret the day when you decided to be a good samaritan. THE FAULT of course lies with the absolutely shamless ruling elite whether mother of all cancers the congress, or bjp or bureaucracy etc, who have turned our beautiful nation in to one big pile of "you know what". Makes you seethe with. anger. Jai ho Anna jai ho Kejriwal. Jai ho vk singh
Great and very truthful article. Having said that, it makes my heart sad to say that ABSOLUTELY nothing is going to change. The worm politicians know that with time citizens will, will wear out, they will go back to their miserable life and ofcourse the politicians will have the last laugh. There is only one way, which is some crazy strong will good person in the military takes over, briefly, exposes the plunderers of ourgreat nation, brings back unity amongst different communites, and to set an example, very severly punishes those found guilty. Other way is outright anarchy, which will harm the nation, as those sitting in north and west are just waiting for that to happen.
great araaticle bringing out the anger, frustration of people and the fact that today people are willing to stand up for their rights and safety. However, the politicians will come up with something bigger to divert attention, let us all pledge that we will keep this anger burning till society reforms
A great article. Excellent. Stirring the people to action. Congrats, dear Shobha De.
What a wonderful article it is. She has correctlly protraied a picture of apathy and lethergies our leaders are engrossed with. This sudden outburst of emotion of the protesters was not even on their imagination and therefore they shown the untter disregard of the seriousness of the unfolding of events. Even the shifting of the young tortured lady to Singagore at the last moment was sign of desperation at which leaders wanted to retrieve the situation but it was ill planned and speak volume of hipocracy.
bang on target, government will have to stop thinking in terms of vote banks and start performing... one of the reason why government is still smug is that they know that if a good person tries to enter politics he will be killed in a similar fashion... so they are quietly bidding their time...

Editors note: Jeff Angus has made many more DobberHockey-themed wallapers - check them out here.
This week we tackle something that's always a good debate among fantasy hockey enthusiasts – predicting who will win the Art Ross Trophy as the regular season NHL points scoring leader. Looking at the winners for recent years, something jumped out to me – when both Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin have played 70 or more games in the same regular season, one of them has won the points title (in 2008-09, Malkin played 82 games and Crosby played 79, and Malkin won the Art Ross; in 2006-07 Malkin played 78 games and Crosby played 79 and Crosby won the Art Ross).
With this in mind, the debate for this week becomes will anyone other than Crosby or Malkin win a scoring title for any of the next three times when Crosby and Malkin both play 70 regular games in the same season?
Yes, someone else will – Other players will catch up to them, and health concerns have to be considered
Crosby has been in the NHL since the 2005-06 season, and Malkin since the 2006-07 season. This means Crosby and Malkin have played together for six seasons. But in only two of those seasons have both managed to stay healthy enough to play 70 regular season games, and the most recent of those two seasons was way back in 2008-09. So if you go by past results (two out of six seasons, for an average of one out of three), it would take nine more seasons for the two of them to actually add another three seasons where both play 70+ games. By then they would be in their mid-thirties, and if you look at the list of Art Ross winners since 1996-97, you'll see that the oldest was Daniel Sedin (then age 30) in 2010-11. In all other years since 1996-97, the regular season points leader was younger (often much younger) than 30.
What's more, even with the very best players of all time there is a limit to how long they can stay better than everyone else. In fact, in the last 40 years, no one other than Wayne Gretzky had a gap of more than 10 years between his first scoring title (in his case, 1980-81) and last (in his case, 1993-94). Not Mario Lemieux (first title - 1987-88, last - 1996-97), not Jaromir Jagr (first title - 1994-95, last – 2000-01), not anyone else in the past 40 years. This is significant, since Crosby won his first Art Ross in 2006-07 and Malkin won his first in 2008-09, so if we fast forward to nine years from now, it would have been almost 15 years since Crosby won his first Art Ross, and almost that long for Malkin. The reality is waiting so long for tthem to manage to both be healthy for three seasons will take us well past when either one has a realistic shot of actually being able to win the Art Ross trophy.
The other thing to consider is contract status. Although Crosby is signed for the next 6,831 years (actually only through 2024-25), Malkin's five year deal was inked back in the summer of 2008. Yes, conventional wisdom suggests that part of the reason the Pens traded Jordan Staal (more on him below) this past summer was to ensure they had the money to keep Geno with the team, but you never know for sure whether Malkin will want to go elsewhere in the NHL, or, as crazy as it might sound, to the KHL. The important point is that it's no guarantee that Crosby or Malkin will be playing together beyond next season. So why exactly does that matter so much? Because their league leading success seems to depend a lot on both of them actually playing 70+ games, as evidenced by someone else winning the Art Ross in two of the three seasons where only one of them managed to play 70+ games:
In 2011-12, Malkin played 75 games and Crosby plays 22 games (Malkin wins Art Ross)
In 2009-10, Malkin plays 67 games and Crosby plays 81 (Henrik Sedin wins Art Ross)
In 2007-08, Malkin plays 82 games and Crosby plays 53 (Alexander Ovechkin wins Art Ross)
There's also the reality that no matter how great some hockey players might seem, others will inevitably emerge and pass them by. Look back at when Tiger Woods was dominating the PGA tour – would anyone have predicted that he wouldn't win a single golf major in 2003 and 2004 after having won seven of them from 1999-2002? Of course not! The key is no one can stay that far ahead of other professionals for too long; the playing field always finds a way to catch up. It's no different in the NHL, and as great as Crosby and Malkin are right now and as dominant as they've been, it is inevitable that even if they manage to stay healthy others will rise past their level in future seasons.
Lastly, one cannot overlook the departure of Staal. It was the steadying presence of Staal that allowed Crosby and Malkin to be able to play prime minutes and not have to get their hands dirty. And while Pittsburgh is confident that Brandon Sutter will give them much of what Staal brought to the table in the past, I think most everyone will agree that Staal was a truly special player, and that the jury is still out as to whether there will be a ripple effect from his departure that hurts the offensive stats of Crosby and Malkin.
No, someone else won't – Their health concerns look like they're in the past, and they're just now getting more talent around them
Reading the above, you'd think that Crosby and Malkin are aging players whose bodies are being held together by stick tape. But the reality is that Crosby is only 25 and Malkin only 26, and with the extended break they've received due to the lockout both are entering a season fully healthy for the first time in several years. It's quite possible that both will end up playing 70+ games for each of the next three seasons, or perhaps three out of the next four or five, in which case would you bet against one of them leading the league in scoring each of those three seasons? If so, then not only should you ask yourself why, but you should also really consider who you think would end up ahead of them. And while you're at it, be sure to remember that Crosby and Malkin are 1st and 2nd among active NHL players in terms of points per game, so do the math – if they play the games, the league leading points will come.
Another thing to keep in mind is that Crosby and Malkin's past achievements have occurred with almost no supporting talent around them. The 81 points scored by James Neal in 2011-12 was the first time since Crosby or Malkin arrived in the league that any other Pens forward scored more than 68 points, and the first time that another Pens forward even managed to score more than 53 points since way back in 2008-09. Plus, Kristopher Letang had 42 points in 51 games for the Pens in 2011-12, giving them a real offensive defenseman threat for the first time since Sergei Gonchar several years back. Not surprisingly, the outputs of Neal and Letang helped Malkin and Crosby post the highest points per game numbers of their entire careers in 2011-12. With Neal and Letang both hitting their prime at age 25, the Pens finally have other legitimate offensive talent beyond their two superstars. If anything, the stage is set for Crosby and Malkin to increase their league leading point totals in the coming years.
In terms of Staal no longer being around, yes, having him there was helpful to the Pens – as a team; but will it hurt Crosby and Malkin's point totals? Definitely not. According to the handy dandy Frozen Pool tool, Staal was on the ice for only one of Crosby's 35 points and only five of Malkin's 109, so his presence was basically irrelevant to their scoring output. Plus, it's not like Staal prevented other teams from still lining up their best defensive forwards against Crosby and Malkin. And although not having Staal there might hurt the Pens - as a team - defensively, that net effect might actually make it so the Pens have to score more to win, and who do you think those points will come from?? In the end, Crosby and Malkin's point totals might actually be better without Staal there!
Also, there should be no concern about Malkin signing elsewhere once his 2008 deal ends. He wants to stay with the Pens, the Pens want him to stay, and the money will be there for him to stay. With him and Crosby together for the primes of their careers, you'll have the best "one-two punch" the NHL has seen in quite a while, certainly since Jaromir Jagr and Mario Lemieux. And let's keep in mind that from 1991-92 to 2000-01, Jagr and Lemieux had a stretch of seven consecutive Art Ross trophies and nine out of ten overall. We certainly seem poised for Crosby and Malkin to achieve league leading success for the next several seasons, so all we as fans and fantasy GMs have to do is sit back, watch, and enjoy (once they get back to playing hockey of course……)
The Final Verdict
This was an interesting debate, because it was less about numbers than most any other that's been in the column so far. In the end, I had to play the percentages and vote with the "yes" argument. To side with "No", you pretty much need for Crosby and Malkin to both stay healthy (which hasn't happened since 2008-09), and, on top of that, you have to feel confident that the likes of Claude Giroux, John Tavares, Steven Stamkos and other rising NHL superstars won't make the necessary leap to pass by Crosby and Malkin in scoring. To me, that's too many uncertainties layered on top of each other. Plus, the fact that in the past 40 seasons only Gretzky has ever managed to win an Art Ross more than 10 years after winning his first was very interesting, as it also was to remember back to how unstoppable Tiger Woods had once been, only to see him suddenly get very beatable right when no one expected it. There were simply too many factors and uncertainties pointing to "yes".

Every year I set aside one or two Saturdays to sew something special for
the women in my life that would treasure a handmade gift. I usually
work production-style, cutting, basting, sewing, and finishing, until I
have an array of small gifts ready to go.
If you're looking for some ideas for handmade quilted gifts, I want to remind you of three of my favorites. Two are make-in-day projects. One is a little more involved, but worth the time, I think.
I have made bed and lap quilts, holiday table runners, and other large-scale quilted gifts and décor. But more often I make small quilted gifts that come together quickly with the sewing machine and my abundance of fabric scraps.

October 8, 2012
A large portion of the roof on the under-construction indoor football practice facility at the University of Virginia burned in a fire Monday afternoon.
Fire crews were first called out at around 12:30 to the structure on Massie Road. At that time, black smoke could be seen throughout much of Charlottesville.
The fire was extinguished shortly before 2pm.
There is no official word on a cause. Sources tell CBS19 that people were working on the structure when it caught fire.
There were no injuries.
The $13 million facility was funded through donations. The 78,000 square foot structure is right next to the outdoor field next to the McCue Center. It is designed to allow the team to practice indoors during bad weather.
The facility, named after former football coach George Welsh, was scheduled to be completed in 2013. There is no word yet on how much this fire will push that timetable back.
