Kawasaki have created this video to promote their new W800 - it seems to suggest that they're pitching the bike at trendy London types who want a retro-cool commuter for the city. With an authentic-looking air-cooled 773cc parallel twin motor, twin rear shocks and pea-shooter exhausts, the W800 certainly looks the part - but so does the competition, namely the Triumph Bonneville and Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. ...

Small school tells why $10 million may not be enough for securityHankinson, ND (WDAY TV) - North Dakota Legislation is taking a closer look at security in our schools. They are even proposing funding the state with up to ten million dollars. It may not be enough.
By: Andrea Hubbell, WDAY Staff Reports, WDAY
Hankinson, ND (WDAY TV) - North Dakota Legislation is taking a closer look at security in our schools. They are even proposing funding the state with up to ten million dollars. It may not be enough.
Chad Benson, Hankinson School Superintendent: "The older section is definitely more of a challenge for us."
After many massive shootings, even the smallest of schools are taking a look at a big problem.
Benson: "We always say, if people want in the building, they will find a way in."
Sure, an upgrade sounds great and even logical. But for a school that was built back in 1921, it's easier said than done.
Benson: "To have someone manning the doorway checking in people as they come that, that definitely is a big expense for us as small as we are."
Chad Benson, the Hankinson School Superintendent, pointed out their weakest points in the building.
Benson: "This is even worse as far as seeing them."
There are options for small schools like this. Like installing a buzzer, hiring someone to man the door. But right now, it's just not in the budget.
Benson: "Financially, it's challenge because, where do you go?"
But locks may not be enough. In certain situations, they say awareness is most important.
Kent Dennis, Hankinson School Principal: "It is important, especially when you have visitors. We need to know who is here, who's visiting our school."
Patrolling the hallways with bodies, and cameras are a few security measures Hankinson takes.
Dennis: "You work with what you've got. And again, you keep up a diligence, be sure you've got your eyes open, your ears open and you are aware of your surroundings."
But the principal says things could be better.
Dennis: "If it was ten million, if it was one hundred million, I don't know if it would ever be enough."
Even if it was a simple lock.
Benson: "At least it slows them down, causes them to make noise if nothing else."
Until the bill passes and until the funds trickle down, Hankinson says it'll just have to keep its awareness up.
In the beginning of February, Hankinson will be upgrading security by teaching faculty how to respond in emergency situations.

Off The Beaten Track – Chatuchak Weekend Market
Chatuchak Weekend Market is famous to Bangkok's residents. After all, this is the world's largest weekend market, selling practically everything under the sun. There are almost 9,000 individual booths overflowing with every imaginable type of ware one can fancy. Once inside the market, a world of bustling crowds and stalls can be found and stretches as far as the eye can see.
Chatuchak Market is also a wonderful place where guests can find some interesting objects from far-off lands. Vendors, rely on shouting, making odd noises, playing music and even wearing outlandish clothes to capture the attention of passing shoppers.
The real charm of the market lies in the fact that bargaining is something expected. Whether a discount is received or depends on the negotiating skills. Don't be surprised if the same goods bought carry different prices at different stalls.
Ready to begin your shopping? Well, mingle with the crowds, sweat it out and have fun in world's largest weekend market open on Saturday s and Sundays. Take either the BTS skytrain to Mo Chit station or the MRT metro to Suan Chatuchak station.
Ask our Concierge for more information on this and other great thinking ideas.

I have been working at DigitalGlobe full-time for more than 5 years
Pros – Everyone is nice at DG, great benefits, and the office building has perks like a little gym, yoga room, Gibs bagels, and free fountain drink. In most departments the job is flexible with the option to work from home and set your own hours.
Cons – If you are looking into getting a job here, please read all of these reviews because everyone I have read is 100% true.
No Career Growth: I have held the same position for almost 5 years, I constantly am asking for a promotion or ways to receive one. The answer remains "we are working with HR to get more career growth within our department" - this has been the same answer for years!
Regardless of how great you are, your review will always be average. My review score was the same as my coworkers who is constantly late for work, sick, or making mistakes. If you are a hard worker and like being appreciated for what you do, stay away from this place.
If you are any smart, more than likely your boss will find you to be a threat (because most of the managers are uneducated) and will find something wrong with you. Managers are notorious for taking credit for their employees work.
Unprofessional Environment: I have heard of so many people filing sexual harassment cases to HR. The work environment is too casual, people cross the lines constantly. There is a lot of crying, gossip, and yelling in this work place.
Unfair Treatment: Some workers are allowed to work from home, while another person with the same job title is not. In addition, the salary is way off. My coworker has no experience or degree and makes about $35k more a year then I do! I have 11 years experience in this field and a relevant degree.
No Raises or Bonuses: Because everyone is lumped into average rating, forget a raise. Bonuses tend to be $1k-$5k a piece. With major cutbacks with a new CEO I doubt anyone will get a raise over the next few years.
Unless you have a strong passion for this industry and all you want to do for the rest of your life is play with satellites then go for it. If you just want a job in management, HR, etc., I would not get a job here.
Advice to Senior Management – Listen to your employees when you ask for feedback.
More attention needs to be given to the Operations staff, there is a lot to fix there.
Send Management to management courses.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

In January, the Pentagon lifted a ban on women in combat. Coach, leader, and four-star U.S. Army General Ann Dunwoody says this policy change is a recognition of women's roles on the battlefield today. "When I look back at how far we've come, it's really amazing," says Ann. "I'm very proud of that."
More on Shine: Father-daughter soldiers return home safely from Afghanistan
With her father in the military, Ann grew up in a military-centered family. As a tomboy, Ann participated in as many sports as she could, like gymnastics, tennis, and cheerleading. She went to college hoping to become a physical education teacher, but while in school, she applied for an Army program that offered scholarships in exchange for two years of service. She thought of it as a small detour on her path to becoming a coach and teacher.
Ann was sent to the airborne school. "All I wanted to do was jump out of airplanes," she says. It came as a surprise to Ann when she decided to stay in the Army after her two years were up. She went on to make a career out of it as one of the first women to serve in a co-ed army. She says the women joining the Army at the same time were driven to help integrate men and women and to become leaders of co-ed platoons. While she never had a female boss, she says she was blessed to have male coaches throughout her career who gave her the opportunities to succeed.

In 2008, Ann was promoted to four-star general. She was the first woman to earn the title. Ann says she almost fell out of her chair when they told her, and she wasn't prepared for the encouragement and praise that followed with letters and cards from men, women, veterans, and even kids. "I must have written 50 letters a night, responding back," she says.
This past year, Ann retired form the Army to spend more time with family and to write a book about her experiences. "I never, even from day one when I joined the Army, dreamed I would be in it for 38 years," Ann says. "I had a wonderful journey. I wouldn't trade one bit of it."
To achieve success, Ann says to stick to your principles and to have courage to do what you believe in. "When you run into resistance, you can either give up and let the bureaucracy win, or you have to fight the bureaucracy," she explains, "and that takes a lot of personal energy and intellect. To change is not easy, and sometimes it requires change to do the right thing for the right reason."

The critics can't say that anymore after Damonte dumped perennial state power Spanish Springs 8-2 on the SSHS squad's home field.
Not many prep softball fans in the Truckee Meadows expected the conference clash to be a one-sided affair; and it wasn't through the first four innings of action. The game was a pitchers' duel early on as Mustangs ace Kalyn Paque and Cougars ace Brette Lawrence took turns mowing down hitters.
However, Damonte Ranch broke through in the top of inning five, putting together a three-run rally for all the offense it would need. The Mustangs' rally started when Jahnel Smith singled and then Adelle Oaks got down a bunt single. Bayli West followed with a sacrifice bunt to put DRHS runners on second and third. Paque followed with a sacrifice fly, breaking the scoreless tie.
The inning continued when Kerrigan Travens laced an RBI single to right field and moved up to second after an outfield error. Briley Brewer cleaned up the frame with an RBI single to plate Travens.
Damonte extended its lead to 4-0 after it tacked on an unearned run in the sixth thanks to a pair of Cougars errors. Spanish Springs committed six errors in defeat.
"It was a close game through four innings, but they out-hit us," Spanish Springs coach Jeff Davidson said. "We just didn't play good defense. You can't do that against good teams and expect to come out on top ... We've been playing pretty solid softball, but today we made too many mistakes."
Any faint comeback hopes the Cougars were clinging to vanished in the seventh after Damonte Ranch (17-3, 9-0) blew the game open with four more runs. Brewer had an RBI triple, Smith had a two-run single and Oaks roped an RBI single to account for the four runs. Spanish Springs committed another error in the seventh to help the Damonte cause.
The Spanish Springs offense finally showed some signs of life in the bottom of the seventh. The Cougars scored two late runs but it proved way too little, too late. Pinch hitters Megan Archer and Taylor Helton both singled. The duo circled the sacks when Aubrene Blas hammered a drive into the right-center field gap that went for a two-run RBI triple.
Paque picked up the pitching victory for Damonte Ranch. She scattered seven Cougars hits, and gave up the two runs in a 10-strikeout, no walk performance. Lawrence was saddled with the loss as she was tagged for 12 hits. She struck out eight and walked two.
"Kalyn doesn't walk people. She makes them hit," Mustangs coach Tierney Cahill said. "She had good command and her off-speed stuff was good.
"We always respect our opponents. Offensively, our kids made adjustments. We've been working hard. We got a couple kids going. You hope that happens every day."
The Cougars (18-4, 6-2) will try to shake off the bitter taste of Thursday's defeat when they return to diamond action Saturday. The SSHS gang will host High Desert League rival McQueen in a twin bill that begins at 11 a.m.

KNYSNA, South Africa -- A draw, a loss, a tantrum and now chaos for Les Bleus.
France's World Cup team refused to train Sunday in protest of striker Nicolas Anelka's expulsion from the squad, prompted by a profanity-laced tirade against coach Raymond Domenech the day before.
Everyone in the whole world is mocking us now. I'm gutted, because we're not playing football any more." -- Franck Ribery
The latest round of turbulence also led to the resignation of France team director Jean-Louis Valentin, who said he was fed up with the team.
"It's a scandal for the French, for the young people here. It's a scandal for the federation and the French team," Valentin said. "They don't want to train. It's unacceptable."
Before getting in a car and driving off, he added: "As for me, it's over. I'm leaving the federation. I'm sickened and disgusted."
Tensions boiled over after the team arrived at training and got off the bus to greet about 200 fans who had gathered there. Domenech, whose tactics and management skills have been questioned, stayed on the bus to talk to France captain Patrice Evra.
Meanwhile, fitness coach Robert Duverne was on the field putting down training cones. After Domenech and Evra got off the bus, Evra and Duverne started to argue. Domenech tried to intervene, but Duverne then stormed off, throwing his accreditation down the field.
"Everyone in the whole world is mocking us now," winger Franck Ribery said on television hours before training even started. "I'm gutted, because we're not playing football any more."
Afterward, Domenech read a statement he said was written by the players to explain their protest:
"The French Football Federation did not at any time try to protect the group. They took a decision uniquely based on facts reported by the press. As a consequence and to show our opposition to the decision taken by officials of the federation, all the players decided not to take part in today's training session."
Evra and the players, en masse, boarded the team bus and drew the curtains.
French sports minister Roselyne Bachelot said "the indignation of the French is great" and that she had spoken to French President Nicolas Sarkozy about it.
In their first two matches at the World Cup, France drew 0-0 with Uruguay and then lost 2-0 to Mexico. France can still advance to the round of 16 with a win over host South Africa, as long as Uruguay and Mexico don't draw in the other Group A match.
Christian Teinturier, vice president of the federation, was stunned by what happened. He had objected to Domenech remaining as coach after the European Championship two years ago, when France went out at the group stage.
"I confess that I understand nothing," he said. "We're in another world here. French football is in a catastrophic situation."
Domenech said he gave Anelka the chance to apologize for his profanity-laced outburst, and that his refusal to do so justified his expulsion from the French World Cup team.
Anelka was sent home Saturday, hours after revelations of his angry tirade was revealed by sports daily L'Equipe.
Domenech said on the French television show Telefoot on Sunday that "I gave him the chance to come and talk and to say sorry" but that "he didn't want to and that's why I went along" with the French soccer federation's decision to throw Anelka out.
Domenech added it was not "a personal problem between the coach and the player," but "a problem concerning the federation and the image of the French team."
For Swiss coach Ottmar Hitzfeld, France's behavior was bewildering.
"What can I say? If something like this happens, I am going to say bye. This is where our paths part," he said.
Information from The Associated Press was used in this report.

I have witnessed spirit possession in my original hometown in the Himalayan foothills among the common village folk. At that time I was fairly young but I still disbelieved in these things (because I grew up in cities where nobody believed in it - at least those whom I knew) but after reading about spirit possession I have come to the conclusion that there could be some truth to it. One thing I know for sure is that whenever a spirit possessed someone the victim usually ended up becoming for a significant number of days after that. So fevers, sicknesses, mental illnesses could have some correlation with the phenomena of spirit-possession. Or they are one and the same.
My question is, if spirits - which are lower beings compared to humans - can possess human beings, then why can't human beings possess, say, a dog or any other animal? How do we make sure that we are never afflicted by such demonic influences?
So far the argument by Ven. Hsuan Hua in his commentaries to Shurangama Sutra was very convincing to me when he said that if we "save our seed" (abstain from sensual/sexual pleasures) no spirit or entity could ever affect us. If, on the other hand, we indulge excessively in sex, we are naturally prone to attack from them.
I need more opinions about it. Thanks!

Ho-hum, just another shutout – the third of June already – and the sixth one-run win in nine June games. That's how you finally get back to first place in the NL West.
But it's not just first place, is it? The win, coupled with San Diego's loss to the Mets, gives the Dodgers the best record in the National League at 35-24, which is good for the third best in baseball behind Tampa Bay and the Yankees, who play in their own space league anyway.
Tonight's heroes were many. Hiroki Kuroda rebounded from a string of subpar starts to go seven scoreless innings, walking just one while striking out six. Hong-Chih Kuo and Jonathan Broxton continued their utter domination, as Kuo hasn't allowed an earned run since his first game of the season on April 22 and Broxton stared down the heart of the St. Louis lineup – Albert Pujols, Matt Holliday, and Ryan Ludwick. Andre Ethier broke out of his post-DL slump to double twice among his three hits, and Manny Ramirez – despite somehow seeing just nine pitches in four at-bats – doubled in the only run the team would need in the 8th inning.
First place may not last long, since Adam Wainwright's no easy task tomorrow (though of course, neither is Clayton Kershaw). But it was only five weeks ago that the club was in last place – in the league, not just the division – and we were pondering just how bad it could get as the starting rotation disintegrated around us. So for tonight, all that matters is first place.
It's a nice feeling.

If you are one of the half million Connecticut residents whose home lost power during Sunday's tropical storm and still hasn't returned, the food in your refrigerator and freezer may have been spoiled.
Unfortunately, not only have you lost your food supply, but consuming spoiled food is dangerous to your health.
Food safety experts note that when the refrigerator's temperature climbs above 41 degrees Fahrenheit, the bacteria that cause food-borne illnesses can grow and quickly multiply.
Food in the fridge typically spoils faster than food in the freezer. According to the Food and Safety Inspection Department of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, after power has been lost, food in a refrigerator remains safe for only about four to six hours — if the refrigerator has remained unopened.
As for freezers, which should be set at zero degrees Fahrenheit, a full freezer will hold its temperature for about 48 hours, but only 24 hours if a freezer is half full. If power is going to be out for a long time, get block ice or dry ice to keep your refrigerator or freezer as cold as possible.
Food to discard
Certain foods have a high risk of spoiling during electrical power outages. The following items should be thrown away if the temperature in the fridge has risen above 41 degrees and if the power has been out for longer than four-six hours:
* Meats, fish and poultry, either raw or cooked.
* Cooked vegetables.
* Dairy products such as milk, soft cheeses, whipped butter, cottage cheese and cream cheese.
* Eggs.
*Mayonnaise. It spoils very quickly.
* Deli meat and hot dogs.
* Cut fruit.
* Pies, pastries and cookie dough.
* Casseroles, stews and soups.
Health officials stress: do not taste potentially spoiled food! You should throw out any food that looks strange or has an odd odor. At times, spoilage cannot be detected by smell because there may not be a foul odor or taste.
Food to save
After power has been restored, check the internal temperature in your refrigerator to determine if other food is safe to eat. If the temperature is at 40 degrees or below, or if the freezer food contains ice crystals, then the food is safe, says the USDA. (Check the temperatures with an appliance or food thermometer.)
According to the Consumer's Guide to Food Safety at www.fsis.usda.gov, food may be safely refrozen if it still contains ice crystals or is at 40 °F or below.
There are some foods that will remain safe at room temperature for a few days. These include:
* Butter, margarine, hard cheese.
* Uncut fruit and vegetables.
* Fruit juices.
* Fresh herbs and spices.
* Fresh bread.
Do not eat any food that has come into contact with flood water. According to William Gerrish of the Connecticut Department of Public Health, "This includes packaged food items in plastic, paper, cardboard, cloth and similiar containers that may have been water damaged, as well as beverage containers with screw-caps, snap lids, crimped caps (soda bottles), twist caps, flip tops, and home canned foods, as these tops cannot be disinfected appropriately."
And remember—if in doubt, throw it out!
A full consumer guide to food safety may be found at www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/severe_storms and hurricanes _ guide. For more information about staying safe and healthy after a disaster or storm, visit www.ct.gov/dph.
Removing Odors
Often, foul odors from food spoiled in a refrigerator may be difficult to eliminate. The following may help remove odors, but these steps may have to be repeated.
* Wipe inside of unit with equal parts vinegar and water. Vinegar provides acid which destroys mildew.
*Wash inside of unit with a solution of baking soda and water. Be sure to scrub the gaskets, shelves, sides and door. Allow to air out several days.
*Stuff unit with rolled newspapers. Close the door and leave for several days. Remove paper and clean with vinegar and water.
*Sprinkle fresh coffee grounds or baking soda loosely in the bottom of the unit, or place these items an open container.
*Place a cotton swab soaked with vanilla inside freezer. Close door for 24 hours. Check for odors.
*Use a commercial product available at hardware and houseware stores. Follow the manufacturers' instructions.

The contest, made possible by the museum's unique partnership with the Kenneth E. Behring National History Day Contest, called on qualifying students to submit an application and respond to two essay questions. Winners were chosen based on their knowledge of the past and its connection to the future as well as their knowledge of their state's role in World War II. Winners were announced during the National History Day awards ceremony, held June 14 in College Park, Md.
Taylor Stuard advanced to the National History Day Contest with an exhibit on the Tuskegee Airmen, a project that had a profound influence on him. He says his views on equality "are greatly influenced by the bravery of these men." Taylor's research on the Tuskegee Airmen led him to look at Nevada's own aviation history and its role in training pilots during World War II. Nevada, he says, "should emphasize its contribution to the training of American pilots who fought in World War II by building a museum displaying the aircraft and history."
"Taylor Stuard is a great example of just one standout student who recognizes the important lessons of WWII, why it was fought, how it was won and how it continues to have an impact today," said Dr. Gordon H. "Nick" Mueller, president and CEO of The National WWII Museum. "We hope that when he returns, he will share his experience with other students and help advance our goal of educating younger generations about the war that changed the world. It is particularly important for Nevada's younger citizens to learn the stories of WWII now as there are currently only 11,683 WWII veterans left in the state and by 2020 there will be 2,832."
The museum's new pavilion will pay tribute to all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces who were active in the war. The pavilion will contain a spectacular collection of macro-artifacts, including a restored B-17 Flying Fortress and an interactive submarine experience based on the final mission of the USS Tang. A special section will feature a wall displaying images of all 464 WWII Medal of Honor recipients and interactive kiosks that allow visitors to access the military and personal history of each recipient.
For more information, call 877-813-3329 or 504-528-1944 or visit www.nationalww2museum.org. Follow us on Twitter at WWIImuseum or visit our Facebook page.

Paige Adams-Geller//Paige Denim Founder & Creator
We had the chance to sit down for a chat with Paige Adams-Gellar recently in Las Vegas while viewing the Fall 2012 collection. Paige is gorgeous and fresh, with beautiful skin and a warm, fun personality that she wears on the outside. She has been at every trade show I've attended since opening 15 Ounce Premium Denim and I swear – this woman does not age. Though she didn't give us her secret to eternal youth, she did reveal a few other things…
15Oz: Who would you most love to style?
Pagie Adams-Geller: Right now, Katharine McPhee is amazing. She is flawless – just gorgeous - and I just love her on SMASH. And Gwen Stefani. Gwen is, of course, a total style icon, but I have to tell you; if I were to pick a male to style, I wouldn't mind hand delivering a pair of jeans to Raylan Givens on Justified (Timothy Olyphant).
What shape or style are you most obsessed with right now?
For "right now", it's still skinny. Skinny in patterns, colors, prints – so many to pick from. But for #1 of all time, my favorite fit is still the Lou Lou Flare. Such a sexy flare…I just feel sexy in them no matter what.
With your wine: cheese or chocolate?
I don't drink so give me chocolate with chocolate on this one.
What's new on your iPod?
I just downloaded Gavin DeGraw and Gotye. After watching the Grammy's though, I need to hear more from The Civil Wars! …instantly in love with them.
If you learned the world would end tonight, what would you wear?
Ooooooh – a tough one. I'm torn on this – one side of me would want to wear my all-time favorite gorgeous black Prada gown. But the other side of me wants to be in PJs with my dog at home.

Irvine >Food & Dining > Houston's_irvine
2991 Michelson Dr, Irvine, CA | Directions 9261233.670879 -117.844552
Neighborhoods: Irvine Business Complex
Delicious food, spot-on service. I've NEVER had a less than stellar meal here. Also, NO corkage fee!!! wooooo
6 STARS!!! – Houston's is the best! They have such a wide verity of dishes, that even the pickiest of eaters would find something to love here! Everything is delicious, fresh, and nothing tops the service!
Always a solid pick.
Can't go wrong with the Ribs.
They also have Sushi that is quite good.
Large parties need not apply – Can I make a reservation for a party of ten? No, we only accept reservations for 6 or less, you can walk in, was the answer. Wow, the place must be the worlds best and the economy is booming in Irvine.
Roomy banquettes and hefty portions typify this polished American grill that's popular for business deals and special occasions. – In Short
Burnished brass and stained wood complement roughly mortared brick and the occasional plant. Amid ubiquitous earth tones, corporate types and small parties (celebrating or simply living large) occupy deep booths done up in fine upholstery and lit from above by pin spotlights. Burgers, prime rib and steaks are the specialties of the house, but the menu also includes salmon, salads, pork chops and roasted chicken.
Nothing special – The hostess and wait staff were friendly, quick and attentive. Other than that, there was nothing special about Houston's. The french dip was fatty and bland. The salad was more like dressing soup. The selection was lacking. The decor was adequate.
best steak ANYWHERE – I have to rave, rave, RAVE about Houston's Hawaiian Ribeye. I am a big steak enthusiast and have eaten the best steaks at the best restaurants, but Houston's Hawaiian Ribeye hands down beats them all: morton's, lawry's, ruth chris, porterhouse, ANYWHERE. You must go there if not only for the Ribeye. Besides, the ribeye, I also really like the tuna burger which is just so juicy and delicious. The other complaint I could possibly have about the food is that I find the dessert to be a bit too sweet, even for me!
Good food but fast services. – The food is surprising good.
I have the hawaiian rib-eye steak. It's juicy, sweet and favourful.
The decoration is trendy and dark.
The only dreaback is the fast services.
You order your food, drink a lttle, chat a little and.. then... here come the bill.
The place is not that big, therefore they need the quick table take-around the make the money.
Good for meeting friend and first date, but not romantic enough to charm your second date here.
The Best Hamburger in OC – We enjoyed a wonderful lunch yesterday which included the World's Best French Dip Sandwich, the Thai Salad and a Cheeseburger (rare) that was really exceptional.
Mr. – Absolutely, the best french dip sandwich I have ever eaten. The hamberger is superb, a 10! I love the atmosphere, the service is excellent and the quality of all the food is excellent.

Leopard scalps man in India | News24
Man scalped by leopard was saving cat
Guwahati - An Indian labourer who had his scalp ripped off by a rampaging leopard over the weekend has spoken of his horrific ordeal, saying he was trying to save the cat when it turned on him.
Pintu Dey is recovering in hospital in India's northeastern state of Assam after being badly mauled outside his house in an attack captured in a series of startling and gruesome photographs.
"My two children were inside the house and so I went to save them when I found some policemen aiming to shoot the leopard," Dey, who is in his 40s, told AFP from his hospital bed.
"I pleaded against killing the cat and literally stood between the policemen and the leopard like a shield, and all of a sudden I found myself attacked and blood splattered all over."
The leopard had strayed into a residential area in the centre of Guwahati, the capital of Assam, and attacked another three people, killing one.
Dey also suffered a fractured hand and cuts caused by multiple bites on his hands and legs.
Leopard taken to tiger reserve
A former journalist and lawyer called Deva Kumar Das succumbed to his injuries on Sunday. The condition of the other two was said to be stable.
Referring to Dey, a doctor in the Wintrobe Hospital told AFP: "I would say the injury is really severe as he lost a lot of blood and his scalp wound is indeed serious."
The cat was later tranquilised by forest officials and taken to the Assam State Zoo in Guwahati. On Monday it was set free in a tiger reserve in Manas, western Assam.
"I wish the government could take care of my medical expenses as my financial condition is not sound," Dey told AFP, explaining that he does casual work but has no reliable source of income.
Thousands of people are attacked by wildlife in India each year, with tigers, leopards, elephants and snakes the most dangerous.
Conservationists blame a decline in the natural habitat for wild animals, particularly dense forest cover in areas surrounding cities, for the deadly incidents occasionally reported from urban areas in India.

It's amazing how someone always has a camera & pictures being taken when ever something happens! - This is what happens when you start invading the wild animals space. Maybe they ought to allow some hunting & the dangerous animals could be reduced - which in turn will prevent more of these encounters!

Why She's No.83?
In 2008 alone, Maria Sharapova won 3 titles and 30 matches, including 18 in a row. Her talent is undeniable, especially when she makes short work of seasoned vets like Lindsay Davenport and Elena Dementieva.
Her on-field success has translated into big dollars. Maria Sharapova is the highest-paid female athlete worldwide. Her sporty 6'2" figure is also a very attractive one. Witness her photos in the 2006 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, People's Most Beautiful People of 2005 and Maxim's Hot 100 of 2007, to name a few. In 2009, Maria Sharapova will dominate the courts again after rehabilitating a torn rotator cuff. Read more about Maria Sharapova
Short Bio
Maria Sharapova couldn't tap into her star tennis potential until she moved from Russia to Florida, where her father, Yuri, gave her rides to her tennis academy on his bicycle until she was 12. Maria Sharapova joined the professional circuit in 2001, and captured her title in a Grand Slam competition at Wimbledon in 2004.
Maria Sharapova had a banner year in 2008 that included a flirtation with the world's top tennis ranking. While an injury forced her out of competition and her ranking was relinquished, Maria Sharapova showed everyone that she is the real deal. Read more about Maria Sharapova

Housekeeping, drudgery? Not to us members of the unofficial "clean club."
Got pets? Then you've got even more vacuuming challenges "fur" sure. That's where crevice tools and upholstery nozzles really come in handy.
Shutterstock.com photos
You know if you belong: You enthusiastically discuss your favorite cleaning tools, staying loyal to equipment and techniques that have served you well over the years. You understand the difference between a crevice tool and an upholstery nozzle. Vacuuming? You see it as an art.
But what if you don't love to clean? Well, chances are you still need to suck it up. Here are some tips on methods and machines to help make the chore of vacuuming less of a challenge:
Kit Selzer, senior editor at Better Homes & Gardens magazine, says you shouldn't begin cleaning by vacuuming.
"Vacuum after you've dusted. Pick up every possible thing from the floor, and move dining chairs and side tables out of the way so you have as much open space as possible," she says.
Professional house cleaners call this "top down cleaning" -- you start at the top of the room, so particulates settle. Tackle ceiling corners, window treatments, furniture and finally the floors.
Selzer also suggests keeping the attachments -- crevice tools and small brushes -- handy as you get started.
"They're invaluable for getting dust, dirt and pet hair while you already have the vacuum out. Use the crevice tool in corners and along the baseboards, the upholstery brush on anything made of fabric, and the dusting brush on blinds, books and lampshades," she advises.
How often should you vacuum? Frequently, especially in high-traffic areas. It keeps dirt from getting ground in and keeps carpet fibers from getting matted. Selzer says vacuuming once a week is good for the average carpet.
Other tips:
• Small rugs act like mini mops, gathering up a lot of debris. Take them outdoors if possible for a good shake before vacuuming. If you can't do that, vacuum the rug thoroughly on both sides, roll it up and put it aside until the floor's been dealt with.
• For big rugs, the Dalton, Ga.,-based Carpet and Rug Institute recommends slow, overlapping motions front to back. Start from the center of the rug and move out to the edges to prevent fraying. Don't go over one spot too many times; make three or four passes. Shaw Floors, makers of carpet, wood, tile and laminate flooring, has advice on its website, www.shawfloors.com: Use a rotating brush or comb beater brush attachment to agitate and loosen deep dirt. But thick wool pile rugs, shags and cabled weaves can get fuzzy or tangled with this brush, so stick to the suction-only attachment for them.
• Change the direction of your vacuum passes frequently.
• For bare floors, use a good, soft brush to protect the floor. Brushes will harden over time so need to be replaced.
• Replace your machine when it no longer sucks like it used to. But make sure it's not just suffering from a clogged hose, filter or intake. Resist the fun of slurping up coins or small objects, as they can jam up the hose or, worse, the motor.
• Empty the canister or vacuum bag when it's half- to three-quarters full; don't wait until it's stuffed. By then, you haven't been sucking up anything, just dispersing dirt by moving the vacuum around.
• Got pets? Use crevice tools and upholstery nozzles to remove hair from tiny corners and baseboards as well as furniture. Vacuum throw pillows, mattresses and curtains weekly, to remove pet dander and fur.
There are two camps when it comes to regular vacuum models: uprights and canisters.
Canister fans tout the tote-ability of a lightweight machine that can be easily carried up stairs and maneuvered from room to room, and has a wand that gets under furniture. Upright lovers prefer to push than pull; these models tend to glide easily across floors and carpeting, and the dirt receptacle generally has a larger capacity than can vacs.

Republicans may talk a good game, but their actions speak louder than words. Republicans have voted against the critical solutions that must be part of a comprehensive New Direction for Energy Independence. They voted against renewable energy and conservation, responsible domestic oil production, short-term measures to bring down prices now and punish those who are manipulating the oil market, and new requirements that oil companies pay their fair share.
Instead of working on behalf of American families and businesses, the House Republicans' so-called "all of the above" energy plan simply rehashes failed ideas on domestic drilling or proposes ideas that Republicans have repeatedly blocked in the past. Their all-out legislative battle in recent years to protect the record profits of Big Oil companies earning record profits has earned them the moniker "Grand Oil Party." Americans paying $4 a gallon thanks to an energy policy literally written by the oil industry cannot afford this the GOP's "none of the above" energy plan.
The Republican leadership's "none of the above" record:
A full list of measures that large percentages of House Republicans voted against:
- Comprehensive energy legislation that includes the first new vehicle efficiency standards in 32 years, saving families up to $1,000 a year at the pump. [93 percent, Vote 1140, 12/6/07, HR 6; 50.3 percent, Vote 1177, 12/18/07, HR 6]
- Tax incentives for renewable electricity, energy and fuel from America's heartland, as well as for plug-in hybrid cars, and energy efficient homes, buildings, and appliances -- four times in just the last 18 months. [82 percent, Vote 344, 5/21/08, HR 6049; 91percent, Vote 84, 2/27/2008; 93 percent, Vote 1140, 12/6/07, HR 6; 95 percent, Vote 835, HR 2776]
- Investments in energy efficiency and renewable energy, including solar, biofuels, hydropower, and geothermal energy, as well as new vehicle technology and energy efficient buildings and homes, with a 50 percent increase over the President's request. [56 percent, Vote 641, 7/17/07, HR 2641]
- Landmark energy efficiency standards for buildings, homes, appliances, and lighting to save consumers $400 billion through 2030. [93 percent, Vote 1140, 12/6/07, HR 6; 50.3 percent; Vote 1177, 12/18/07, HR 6]
- Requiring that 15 percent of American electricity come from renewable energy by 2020. [83 percent, Vote 827, 8/4/97, amendment to HR 3221]
- Reducing transit fares for commuter rail and buses and expanding service through grants to transit agencies. [52 percent, Vote 467, 6/26/08, HR 6052]
- Responsible drilling in Alaska in the National Petroleum Reserve (NPR-A). [86 percent, Vote 511, 7/17/08, HR 6515]
- Requiring oil companies to drill on 68 million acres they already control. [94 percent, Vote 469, 6/26/08, HR 6251]
- Releasing a small portion of the government's oil stockpile, the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, to bring down gasoline prices. [81 percent, Vote 527, 7/24/08, H.R. 6578]
- Cracking down on price gouging oil companies that artificially inflate the price of energy. [74 percent, Vote 448, 6/24/08, HR 6346]
- Repealing unnecessary subsidies for the top five oil companies earning record profits -- four times over the last 18 months. [91percent, Vote 84, 2/27/2008; 93 percent, Vote 1140, 12/6/07, HR 6; 95 percent, Vote 835, HR 2776; 81 percent, Vote 40, 1/18/07, HR 6]
- Recouping royalties that oil companies owe American taxpayers for drilling on public lands. [86 percent, Vote 832, 8/4/07, HR 3221; 81 percent, Vote 40, 1/18/07, HR 6]

Sam (ValleyFan) and I did this last September, and I thought some more folks might be into it this year. It was a tiring day spent almost completely on our feet, but I thought it was fun. We got some great images, and I think with what I've learned this last few months that the next time I go watch one of these things that my images will be even better.
Red Bull Air Race World Series will be down in San Diego on the 3rd and 4th of May (Sat/Sun). I was thinking of traveling down again to photograph the event. I'd be interested in going down on qualifying day (Saturday) and finding a place on the West side of the San Diego Bay to try and shoot from.
I've got three seats in my truck that will be traveling down to San Diego empty unless anyone decides they want to fill them and pitch in a couple bucks to help pay for gas. We'd have to leave wicked early in the morning.
I'll have to do some research about where to shoot from opposite the Embarcadero park where we were last year. Where we stood in September, the sun was in our faces (and our lenses) the entire day. (By finding a place on the opposite side of the bay, we'd have the sun at our backs and the tall buildings of the city in the background of our pictures.) The only officially ticketed viewing locations are on the Embarcadero, so I won't know for a few weeks exactly how much it will cost.
Anyhow, if anyone's interested, let me know.

Most off campus dining is pretty expensive, so I rarely go often campus to eat. University Avenue is the main place students go to eat off campus. If you can afford it, there are a lot of vegan/ vegetarian and healthy food options, as well as a decent variety of options, including Thai, mediterranean, pizza, etc.

Palo Alto screams "upscale resort town" more than "cheap college fun," but there are still perks. Stanford is located right off of University Avenue, the local street for everything amazing. Filled with incredible restaurants with cuisines that range from Thai to Italian, many Stanford students find themselves walking around this area on a Friday or Saturday night.
Although these restaurants can be a bit expensive, many of the restaurants give Stanford students discounts. If you have access to a car, Santana Row is also a great place. Located about 20 minutes from campus, Santana Row is full of fun American eateries that cater to the college crowd as well as really good bars for drinks and appetizers.

What brand of overflow?
I am in the home stretch of a bathroom model. A plumber roughed-in the supply/drain lines and set the tub. I had a slightly larger/taller than standard tub. He did a good job, but when he left he showed me how the waste and overflow drain that I had purchased worked, but the stopper did not go deep enough to block the drain. It is all the way extended on the threaded portion.
Has anyone heard of an extension for a PVC drain linkage assembly? If all else fails I will probably remove the trip lever drain setup and change out the drain/strainer to a twist-type.
What brand of overflow?
Terry, Thanks for the reply, it is a Watts Overflow (see below). I emailed Watts, but they recommended installing a different overflow. If there is an easier solution (extending the linkage) I would like to try that first.
Watts - Trip Lever Bath Drain - 4BN - 1 ½" white plastic tubing
Plastic construction
Trip lever-style trim
MFG Brand Name : Watts
MFG Model # : 4BN
MFG Part # : 0145788
I'm with them.
I would pick up one that fit.
If this over a crawl space, or someplace you have access to?
Normally if it's concealed, they like a solvent weld (glued) joint W&O
They also make drains with cables.
I just use a piece of brass rod, often a toilet tank ball lift wire, and fabricate an extension.

SAN ANTONIO — UTSA will close out its 2012 campaign this weekend with a three-game Southland Conference series against Lamar at Roadrunner Field. Thursday's opener begins at 6 p.m., while the second contest starts at 6 p.m. the following night. Saturday's finale, which also will serve as Senior Day, is slated to begin at 2 p.m.
Five seniors — Colby Braddock, Justin Graham, Matthew James, P.D. McIntyre, Jason Mohn and Casey Selsor — will be honored for their contributions to the program before Saturday's game.
The Roadrunners (21-30, 10-19 SLC) enter the final set of the spring on the heels of a 14-3 loss at No. 4 Baylor on Tuesday night.
Selsor comes into his final weekend at UTSA as the team leader in batting average. The San Antonio native is hitting .304 with 10 doubles, eight triples, a home run and 27 RBIs in addition to leading the squad with 16 stolen bases. Meanwhile, junior Ryan Dalton is batting .302 with 11 doubles, seven round-trippers and 34 RBIs.
Selsor (4-7, 4.92 ERA) will make the start on the mound in Thursday's tilt, while sophomore Michael Kraft (8-5, 4.50 ERA) is scheduled to start in Saturday's contest. A starter has not been named for Friday night's game.
The Cardinals (20-29, 12-18 SLC) have lost three of their last four outings, including two of three to Texas A&M-Corpus Christi last weekend in Beaumont.
Lamar's offense boasts three hitters over the .300 mark, including Darian Johnson, who is hitting at a .318 clip with a dozen doubles, four homers and 21 RBIs.
Left-hander Jonathan Dziedzic (4-4, 3.66 ERA) will take the mound in Thursday's opener and he will be followed by right-handers Eric Harrington (3-8, 4.14 ERA) and Carter Hahn (3-3, 4.12 ERA) in the rotation.
UTSA holds a 25-24 advantage in the all-time series, which dates back to the 1996 campaign. The Roadrunners have won four consecutive meetings with the Cardinals, including back-to-back walk-off victories to complete last spring series at the Bird Bath.
Probable Starting Pitchers
Thursday, May 17
UTSA: Casey Selsor, lhp (4-7, 4.92 ERA)
Lamar: Jonathan Dziedzic, lhp (4-4, 3.66 ERA)
Friday, May 18
Lamar: Eric Harrington, rhp (3-8, 4.14 ERA)
Saturday, May 19

Fineman Article on Vulnerability Cited for Insightfulness
An article by Robert W. Woodruff Professor of Law Martha A. Fineman was hailed as one of the most important recent examinations of the concept of vulnerability and how it affects law and public policy.
Writing for Jotwells jurisprudence journal, Sean Coyle praised Finemans article The Vulnerable Subject and the Responsive State, published last year in the Emory Law Journal.
Finemans article reminds us of the important truth that vulnerability is a permanent feature of the human condition, Coyle writes.
Poverty, illness and discrimination do not abate in the face of increased opportunity, Coyle writes. Nor does a sink or swim social stance make the vulnerable more resilient, he says.
Socialists frequently confuse vulnerability with welfare need. Alleviating the effects of certain forms of vulnerability, socialists have therefore encouraged people to become vulnerable in other ways, reliant on systems of support over which they have no meaningful control, Coyle writes.
For conservatives, nothing matters more than the elimination of structures which inhibit freedom, Coyle said. The defeat of this last enemy will allow men to escape all others: surely no one who is the author of his own situation can be afflicted by vulnerabilities?
