Tamil superstar Rajnikanth may have immortalised a unique style in his movies where he flips a cigarette with his finger and then lights a match from the denim of the villain's jeans! The smoking scene has been carried forward by director Vishal Bharadwaj in his 2006 movie 'Omkara,' with Bipasha Basu sizzling in the number Beedi jalaile jigar se piya, jigar maabadi aag hai…
These scenes in films make an impact despite a campaign spearheaded by former Health Minister Anbumani Ramadoss, which resulted in India becoming the first country to ban images of smoking in all television shows and new films, effective from August 1, 2006. The directive of the campaign is part of the Cigarettes and other Tobacco products (Prohibition of Advertisement and Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and Distribution) Act 2003. Dr. Ramadoss believes that smoking scenes in movies are responsible for encouraging youth to pick up the habit. He cited statistics to show that 52 per cent of youth consume their first cigarette when they see their favourite movie actor smoke.
Another stipulation of the act is that a horizontal scroll warning the audience about the dangers of smoking must accompany scenes depicting smoking in existing films, and the image must be blurred each time an actor smokes on a TV show. Exemptions were permitted for live telecasts, certain old films and those based on historical characters who smoked as well as films that depict the health effects of smoking.
However, in January 2009, the Delhi High Court quashed the central government's decision to prohibit on-screen smoking, after Bollywood producer and director Mahesh Bhatt challenged the ban, saying that it violates the fundamental right to free speech and expression under Article 19 of the Constitution. Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul of the Delhi High Court ruled that "directors should not have multifarious authorities breathing down their necks when indulging in the creative act. A cinematographic film must reflect the realities of life. Smoking is a reality of life. It may be undesirable, but it exists."
In an attempt to mitigate the effects of movie scenes on potential smokers, Dr. Ramadoss had appealed to Hindi movie actors Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan in the television programme "Devil's Advocate" aired on CNN-IBN a couple of years ago, to stop smoking in their movies, claiming that it could influence the youth.
Dr. Veda Sharan, professor of American studies at the English and Foreign Languages University in Hyderabad, believes that "Smoking scenes in films could encourage impressionable young people to start the habit. Banning smoking scenes in movies is good because it is a default discouragement of smoking. We need to prevent it." His colleague Prof. Anand also endorsed the view, saying that young people are easily influenced by their heroes.
Smoking was once portrayed as something the villain or the anti-hero indulged in. Slowly, with the portrayal of suave heroes who smoked, the possibility of its attractions began to rise. Anti-smoking activists and health groups were quick to lobby for a ban on smoking scenes in movies, saying that it could influence the youth by portraying smoking as fashionable and 'cool'.
MBK Nair, a retired engineer with the Kerala State Electricity Board, said although smoking scenes in movies are likely to encourage teens to pick up the habit, banning such scenes is unlikely to prevent them from smoking. Irrespective of whether movies encourage teenagers to start smoking or whether they pick up the habit due to peer pressure and the need to appear 'cool,' smoking has been and will remain an integral part of Indian movies even if it is the baddie with a pipe hanging from his mouth.
Dr. Ramadoss also introduced the ambitious smoking ban in public places, starting October 2, 2008. However, enforcement has been lax with little or no fines imposed on violators. The smoking ban covers all public places, including restaurants, bars, bus bays and railway stations. The measure also bans the sale of cigarettes and other tobacco products within 100 yards of educational institutions. The measure is primarily aimed at protecting the public from the health risks of second hand smoke or environmental tobacco smoke (ETS). Although a majority of smokers are aware of the consequences of smoking on their health, little is known about the health risks of ETS on non-smokers. The prevalence of smoking among women is increasing in developing countries such as India, while a growing majority of women and children have a husband or father who smokes at home.
In addition, all tobacco products manufactured in India are required to display pictorial health warnings of a scorpion and diseased lungs, covering at least forty per cent of the principal display area of the pack with text warnings in English and other regional languages, under a measure that took effect on May 31, 2009.The directive requires cigarette and packs to carry the warning "Smoking Kills," while manufacturers of smokeless tobacco products such as gutka and pan masala have to print "Tobacco Kills" on the packs in white font on a red background. The Group of Ministers, which was established by the government to consider the feasibility of implementing graphic health warnings, have decided to use "mild pictures" of "TB-affected lungs" and a "scorpion" – depicting death – to discourage tobacco use. The ministers also agreed to make the "skull and cross bones" optional following criticism from tobacco manufacturers and a religious minority group.
In a latest development, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare approved a revised labelling regulation requiring images of oral cancer along with textual warnings in English and regional languages, but decided to postpone by six months until December 1 the implementation of the same.
However, leading advocate Shireen Sethna Baria does not believe that graphic health warnings will help deter hardcore smokers or chewing tobacco users, although she was positive about the smoking ban in public places. No single measure is likely to discourage smokers and it has been proven that comprehensive measures that include higher tobacco taxes, smoking bans in public places, and graphic health warnings may go a long way in discouraging at least some tobacco users.
Gender emphasis
World No Tobacco Day, an initiative of the World Health Organization, is observed across the globe on May 31 each year. The theme for World No Tobacco Day 2010 is "Gender and tobacco with an emphasis on marketing to women."
A 2009 WHO report titled "Women and health: today's evidence, tomorrow's agenda," noted that women constitute about 20 per cent of the world's more than one billion smokers, with the figure expected to grow further as cigarette advertising increasingly targets females. WHO Director-General Margaret Chan noted in the report, "protecting and promoting the health of women is crucial to health and development – not only for the citizens of today but also for those of future generations."
The WHO's anti-tobacco treaty Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, which has been ratified by 168 countries so far, expresses concern at the alarming increase in smoking and other forms of tobacco consumption by women and young girls worldwide.
Women who smoke during pregnancy are at risk of giving birth to pre-term, underweight babies. The risk of abortion and infertility is also higher among women who smoke or are exposed to ETS during pregnancy.
The risk of sudden infant death syndrome, asthma and ear infections is higher among children exposed to ETS compared to those who live in smoke-free homes. Smoking also increases the risk of osteoporosis, hip fractures, multiple sclerosis and neurological disorders.

Over the years here, we've debated the wisdom of posting plain settings of tunes versus settings that show typical ornamentation. So this post is partly in response—trying to satisfy both sides. It's also my personal reaction to learning tunes on both fiddle (which I've played for way too long to still be this shoddy) and flute (which always sounds good to me despite —or is that because of—how new I am to the instrument). The plain version is easier to make sense of on fiddle. The ornamented version is based on the flute playing of Michael Clarkson.

So Jeremy, did you disengage the midi function that used to always stumble through the roll? It's much better this way—while the reader can see the tilde and play a roll, the midi stays on beat. I hope this is a permanent change to the site?
Thank you
What a great help for learning a tune! In a perfect world we could be catching them all by ear from a traditional source, but this does a lot to bridge the gap resulting from trying to learn off "the dots." Nicely done, and much appreciated!
This title was attached to the tune by Paddy Killoran, who recorded it in New York a long time ago. It was played as a hornpipe called "Fitzpatrick's" in Sliabh Luachra and recorded in that style by Paddy Cronin.
Another Setting
From Josephine Keegan's Collection, A Drop In The Ocean. She calls the tune "The Cottage In The Grove".

A Trip in the Meadows (aka. McGovern's Favourite)
Here's my flute version of the tune inspired by the playing of East Galway musician Sean Moloney.

Well, on the recording Sean Moloney misses out or repeats some bits of the tune too much, so this is a reconstructed version which fits on the flute. Sean is one of the most beautiful flute players I've ever come across in person, but he plays this tune on the fiddle. I'm not familiar with the East Galway fiddle style, but his haunting fiddle playing has some echoes of great Clare fiddlers such as Bobby Casey.
As for the tune itself, he cites Lucy Farr as the source of the tune. On a different page of the notes, he writes Lucy Farr and his grandfather Stephen Moloney were neighbours in Ballinakill, a place which has produced many well-known musicians such as Joe Burke, Mike Rafferty, etc. I just passed through the area a few times, but will hopefully explore the scene there someday.
Mike Flynn's (aka. McGovern's Favourite)
A variant of this tune can be found on Mike and Mary Rafferty's album 'Old Fireside Music' (1998). Frank Claudy told me he learned it from Billy McComisky, who learned it from Sean McGlynn, who got it from Kevin Keegan, who got it from Mike Flynn, originally from Co. Sligo, later of New York. Mike Rafferty learned it straight from Flynn. I undestand that Mike Flynn participated in the Paddy Killoran recording of "McGovern's Favourite", so he would have given it that name.
I was first aware of the tune as "Cottage In the Grove" from an Arty McGlynn and Nollaig Casey recording. It's also in O'Neill's Dance Music of Ireland as "Maurice Casey's Fancy", and in Ceol Rince na h'Eireann other names mentioned include "The Village in the Grove" and "The Conberry Reel".

Mike Flynn's (aka. McGovern's Favourite)
The Mike Rafferty recording is in C dorian, but it has been suggested that he was playing it on an F flute; on a D flute it would come out in A dorian.
So, Mike Rafferty didn't learn it from his neighbours in Ballinakill, East Galway. My transcription above can be traced back to Lucy Farr, who was also from Ballinakill.
Mike Flynn's (aka. McGovern's Favourite)
Hello Hiro - how are you?
It's perfectly possible that Mike Rafferty knew the tune from his home town, but on his CD, he says "I Learned [this reel] from Mike Flynn, a great flute player from Co. Sligo now living in New York."
I transcribed "Mike Flynn's" in 2000. Shortly afterward an acquaintance from Cyberspace mentioned it to Mike Rafferty, who played it. My friend said "…he seemed really happy to be reminded of the tune and was all smiles when he finished playing it." He also wanted to know what instrument I was playing it on (it was mandolin).
Fine thanks, Nigel. But I've learned too many Irish tunes.
I tend to confuse this tune with "The Knotted Cord": http://www.thesession.org/tunes/921
Trouble In The Kitchen did a great version of this on their 2nd album 'When The World Was Wide'. You should learn that one, Slainte.
We got the version we play from Randal Bays. He plays the 8th bar of the B-part up an octave. I asked him how he came across this version and he said that himself and Joel decided to do it because the B-part seemed too repetative and it added a little variation and punch.

State Announces Strategic Growth Initiative Grant AwardeesAgency: Agriculture and Rural Development
$2.25 million awarded to grow Michigan's food and agriculture industry
LANSING, Mich. — Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) Director Jamie Clover Adams and Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC) President and CEO Michael A. Finney announced today the recipients of the Strategic Growth Initiative (SGI) Grant Program.
"These grants allow us to leverage business development and growth for Michigan's $91.4 billion food and agriculture industry," said Director Clover Adams. "With increased investment in our agri-food sector, we can help 'move the needle' for continued long term growth.
"We're constantly looking for improvements and new ways to feed our state, country and the world for future generations," said Finney. "With projected growth in populations in coming years, Michigan agriculture needs to keep pace to produce enough food to feed all of us. At MEDC, we are working to foster greater economic opportunities for our food processors, agribusinesses and those involved in food production. It's a great state partnership with MDARD and local organizations.
MDARD received 75 applications for this program totaling more than $19 million in requests. The recipients are:
This grant program is a direct result of the Governor's 2011 Summit on Production Agriculture and recommendations from the House Agriculture Subcommittee on Agricultural Processing.SGI, a joint venture between MEDC and MDARD, is designed to break down barriers inhibiting the growth of Michigan's food and agriculture industry as well as to foster economic opportunities for Michigan-based food processors, agribusinesses, and those involved in food production.
Applications were submitted to MDARD in October and scored competitively by a Joint Evaluation Committee. Their recommendations were given to the Director for final approval.

..by Biz Bluetree
When asked that question by a Seeking Alpha reader of a previous article, I decided to make it the focus of a new article. I soon discovered information to not only address the reader's concerns but, expose the SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), HSBC Bank (HBC) and the New York Federal Reserve of alleged gold pillaging and causing this year's mid-April price smack down.
For purpose of this article we'll call our reader Bob.
How long?
With no clear answer to that question this article will take a look at what allegedly happened and why, and illustrate that it's not as rare an occurrence as one may think. But first let's set a base of four reference points by which to counter opinions and arguments that will undoubtedly be made in the response forum.
We can't ignore that there is a line clearly drawn in the sand between one group who says, "in gold we trust" and another who dismisses the yellow metal as a barbarous relic, or simply a trade like any other.
Let's get into it…
First and foremost: the utility of money is based on its soundness. With each passing month of $85B worth of FED QE our money is less sound.
Second, the U.S. government is the largest debtor nation in the world, yet is the only nation that can legally print the world's reserve currency – the US dollar – the rock upon which the world's financial system now teeters.
Third, when the money can no longer be trusted people will stop accepting it as legal tender leaving the financial system to failure and collapse. (See all fiat currencies in history)
Fourth, there is right now a mass exodus of gold flowing from west to east. As well a wide disparity in how gold is viewed in the west versus the east.
How Long?
Bob introduced himself:
"I have one comment here, he wrote. I consider the manipulation of gold and silver a fact and I also think that it is done on a daily basis. Just looking at the way the market behaves, it is clear that there are some people out there whose job is to watch the metals and hit the futures market if prices go up".
Bob's suspicion is valid. In a recent article targeting PMs and patience, Emmet Kodesh, a SA colleague whose insight I respect, restated remarks made by Dr. Philippa Malmgren, President & Founder of Principalis Asset Management and former Special Assistant to the President of the United States for Economic Policy, who said; "major investors know that manipulation of the gold market is a fact of life".
And further, the magnitude of sovereign debt is so great it cannot be paid down and "will have to be defaulted on", says Dr. Malmgren.
Default? Dollar crash? Economic meltdown? Government shutdown? A vast majority of people will loose everything while others grow rich? Yes.
A wealth transfer.
In my opinion, being on the right side of a wealth transfer may be as simple as holding the best protective positions through an economic crisis. Such a crisis will likely include chaos, necessity shortages, bank holidays, power outages, etc. You must be prepared for it.
My family's protective positions will be hold-in-your-hand silver and gold, ownership of real-land, and stock in the correct PM and critical-resource mining companies with the greatest upside.
Only invest in miners on whom you've done your homework. Those you trust, with good management, good ore-grades, low-price-to-cash-flow ratio, companies with the ability to get the job done and with little to no country risk. Without going deeper, McEwen Mining (MUX) comes first to mind as does First Majestic Silver (AG) and Paramount Gold and Silver (PZG).
I will also say this, stay well informed of current events. Don't rely only on mainstream media and watch the stock market closely. Because also, in my opinion the time may come when even holding shares of metals and critical resource miners becomes too risky despite their future higher valuations. Is your brokerage a bank?
How long?
Bob continues, "It is clear that China and India have bought all gold supplied in the world from both mining and scrap for the last two months. Other people buy too and demand is strong. Is it possible to quantify that with some hard numbers?"
Well, I can't speak to the "all gold" claim, but mentioning China brings us closer to the crux of this article. The April data on China's retail buying of gold, silver and jewelry shows record sales. Even though jewelry makes for 40%, it still leaves about $3 billion of silver and gold (coin and bullion) sales for just that month, more than the US Mint's silver and gold coin sales for the past 12 months combined.
"According to the World Gold Council, Chinese demand of gold bars and coins grew to 109.5 tons in Q1 2013, which is 2.5x the 5-year quarterly average of 43.8 tons", said Eric Pomboy of Meridian Macro Research in King World News.
In April when the bears and sideliners were exclaiming, "the gold bubble has burst", "everyone is exiting gold", "gold has lost its luster", etc., truth be known, it was the bullion banks taking gold out of the SPDR Gold Trust ETF and selling it to satisfy massive demand in Asia at a time when the premiums on gold in Asia were threw the roof, at an additional $50 an ounce. (The Shanghai Premium)
Keith Barron, a consultant to major companies around the world, prospector at heart and co-responsible for the largest gold discovery in the last 25 years; the Fruta Del Norte gold deposit in Ecuador, explained the GLD fleecing in KWN:
"Bullion banks were raiding the GLD ETF for gold and pocketing up to $50 on the spread, just for shipping it to Asia. …that is why a tremendous amount of tonnage was moving out of GLD. It was because of massive demand for physical gold, not people selling it".
If you still don't feel the need to hold physicals but a voice inside your head insists on an easier PM investment the nod here goes to the Sprott Physical Gold Trust (PHYS) or Sprott Physical Silver Trust (PSLV). Not only because of a 15% tax vs. a 28% tax, but also allocated accounts vs. non-allocated accounts eliminating counter party risk.
I just wouldn't touch GLD with the proverbial ten-foot pole because of who runs it? Trustee: Federal Reserve Bank of New York. Custodian: HSBC Bank.
Do you trust them? I don't.
HSBC, one of the largest banks in the world, headquartered in Hong Kong and the UK – yes, the same bank with rumored ties to terrorist money and money laundering – enjoys long-standing status in Asia. The FED? Enough said.
How long? We may not know.
KeithBarron sums it up eerily best, "You have bankers and politicians literally destroying the future of the West for generations to come in order to keep a dying financial system alive for a few more years. This really is a tragic and very sad situation."
See the four reference points above.
Conclusion: The three protective positions mentioned above can be invested-in today at bargain basement prices. Good advice is to take action by taking advantage. Create protective positions and aim for the high side of the wealth transfer.
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Marley Lion Murder Case Draws Trayvon Martin Comparisons, Questions Over Police Actionby Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
The murder of Marley Lion, also from 2012, is drawing comparisons to the Trayvon Martin case and putting the spotlight on police action and media attention.
Lion was killed in Charleston, S.C., on June 16, 2012.
Police found him lying on the ground outside his Nissan Pathfinder, bleeding to death. Before dying he told police that two African-American males approached him.
One of them, Lion said, shot him several times.
The Charleston Police Department said they came across the suspects when one of them tried to sell the gun that had been used in Marley's murder.
Four arrests were eventually made in the case.
Trayvon Martin was killed because George Zimmerman assumed he was up to no good in the Sanford, Fla., community where he was staying.
Although Zimmerman and his family members have said race was not a component of the case, critics believe that Martin was profiled based on his appearance.
There were no such racial overtones in Marley Lion's murder.
Ryan Deleston, a 30-year-old black man charged Lion's murder, was reportedly planning to rob a nearby bar when he came across Lion instead.
Lion's murder also brought a swift investigation and charges, while police released Zimmerman the night of the shooting, deeming it was self-defense.
While he was eventually charged, he pleaded not guilty, and the not guilty George Zimmerman verdict sparked debate and outcry across the U.S.
Last week, a leader of the Charleston branch of the NAACP weighed in.
"In the case of Marley Lion, there was an immediate search for the killer, fairly rapid apprehension, rapid action," said Rev. Joseph Darby.
"With Trayvon Martin, police were aware of the killing, but there was no charge before the national pressure. I think the reason the Martin case made national news was the inaction in Florida."
"On the one hand, they were two young men who minding their own business when it occurred. On the other hand, I think the problem in the Trayvon case is that the aftermath was different."
Dot Scott, Charleston's NAACP president, said the difference in police action highlights exactly why the Trayvon Martin case was so noteworthy.
She said investigators "did what they should have done" after the murder of Marley Lion, but that "doesn't happen the same way with the life of a black child."
Do you agree? Or is this entirely circumstantial? Comment below.
Zimmerman is the white O.J Simpson black people feel the way white people felt during that case. I feel for the families of any of these since less killings. I'm black and I personally have had friends die at the hands of other blacks that have never been convicted stories that will never make the news. Sensationalism sells papers and keep you glued to the TV. It's good to be informed but don"t empower bigotry by getting angry about yesterdays headlines because tomorrow they will have something else for you to be angry about there were 500 gang related murders in Chicago last year and most of them children and a lot of innocent bystanders killed but thats not news worthy. I embrace the brotherhood of all men and I think instead of arguing about who got away with what lets change our perception of each other by saying no child deserves to die and how can we change the way we think to keep this from happening anywhere...
Thank you Ernest
The difference is that Marley was murdered and Trayvon was killed as a result of self defense.It was self defense that night and still is today.
I read about Marley Lion , his parents can rest because justice will be served. Trayvon Martin parents cannot rest because justice was not served. Are the people that are comparing actually reading what happened or are they comparing color and age but totally two different kinds of crimes. Marley was sleep and killed for a since less robbery and they will serve time. Trayvon was killed after his attacker called 911 and was told to stand down. Zimmerman was a want to be cop and knew what he was doing and Trayvon was walking to his home not Zimmerman's home. God will have the last word with Zimmerman. Marley Lion's parents got justice. Trayvon Martin parents got no justice.BIG difference ...White people get justice...Black people have to Protest for JUSTICE. The system is very racially divided. Because of hatred.There are more white on white crimes committed than black crimes on whites difference black crimes make MEDIA headlines. We as American's must help change the system regardless of race. CRIME IS CRIME...
Trayvon's parents may not rest with his passing, but the rest of society can, the kid was a useless thug. If you don't like white justice, go to Africa and see what kind of justice you receive there, black countries wouldn't tolerate black crime like white countries do.
dirty nigger got what he deserved
ban the naacp
I personally believe George Zimmerman got away with murder, that being said, I am a white middle aged female that sees racism everyday and the city where I live, wouldn't even be considered a big city. You don't have to be White to be a racist, Black people are some of the biggist racist I know and they make the most noise, that's why we always hear more about it. They always make sure it is brought to the attention to whoever is going to give it the most publicity. I think it was wrong that Zimmerman got to leave the 1st night without having to spend the night in jail, I don't care what kind of record the other person had he was still killed by a white man that had a habit of staking black males in his community. This other poor young man was doing nothing more than sitting in his car minding his own business. The 2 black guys that murdered him were trying to sell the weapon to get rid of evidence, there is a difference there. It would have been the same as far as I'm concerned if the young man in the truck had been black and the other 2 had been white, he was murdered for sitting in his car. In general white people are mainly out for justice , Black people for publicity.
Keep in mind, George Zimmerman is a Hispanic Jew, not a white male.
@Barbwalker.. True enough blacks do act a fool in public.. But it's never a MASS MURDER involving blacks I'm public.. We are afraid of whites just as whites are of blacks.. U never hear about blacks shooting up elementary schools (Sandy Hook), high schools (Columbine), movie theaters, blowing up government buildings (Okc bombing) etc.. Hell we thinc y'all are just as crazy as any gang member.. But point is when a black kill a white there is justice.. I betcha every black that killed a white person either got LWOP or death.. Not all whites who kill blacks go to prison.. Hell it'scongressmen that were once members of the KKK.. And i know they've killed a few blacks.. Ijs
You 'know' they've killed a few blacks, why, because of their KKK membership? Isn't that that evil 'racial profiling' blacks always whine about? Racist bigot.
The uproar over Trayvon Martin is because he was killed by a white man. How many white people have been killed by blacks? The blame for people being afraid of black teens/men lays with the black teens/men who break laws, hurt people, rob, steal, or intimidate. I am confident in saying that you can walk in any mall in America at any time and find black teens/men hanging around the entrances or walking through the mall bullying people, acting nasty, and being loud. They are exactly the reason whites are automatically afraid of them and feel the need to defend themselves when accosted. The many celebrities, NAACP, and others continuing to demand justice for Trayvon Martin are just looking for attention. The only people who can make an informed decision about his guilt or innocence are the people who sat in the courtroom and heard all the evidence and were given instructions about how the law was interpreted related to this case.
He was Mexican, not white
But I guess because race is an issue to you everyone that's not black is white?
He was Peruvian NOT Mexican...I wish people would stop labeling all Hispanics as Mexican.
Ironic, as the misinformation you try to correct is a correction of a false image of GZ as a white male.
Two completely different stories
Apples and Oranges. Lion was gunned downed by criminals involved in a criminal act. Trayvon was gunned down by a coward, cop wanna-be that was getting his as kicked by a 17 year old. If Zimmerman hadn't had that gun, he would have never got out of his vehicle. His ONLY balls were that pistol.
Ugh just make it stop i'm sick of hearing about the Trayvon/Zimmerman case.
So disappear you no how to do that don't you

A documentary called My Nappy Roots takes a closer look at the changes of black hair. The film starts in Africa and follows the evolution of the history and culture of hair.
The film's maker said the idea came from an assignment her daughter worked on in college.
"Reggie originally started mentoring her daughter on this little five minute film and then she brought me into it to help mentor in the editing department," said Jay Bluemke, Co-Producer of the film. "At that time Reggie realized that this would be so much larger and she said she didn't think I would want to be involved at first and I saw that the possibilities for this story were huge."
The film included several celebrities including Patti LaBelle and Vivica A. Fox.

Kudzu, the invasive plant dubbed "the vine that ate the south," is leaving its mark on Charlottesville.
"It is designed to grow very fast on purpose, and that's what it does -- sometimes too much," said Chris Gensic, park and trail planner for the City of Charlottesville.
These blankets of green leaves smother native plants, in turn killing trees, swallowing fields and creeping into yards.
"Not that many people go out and really cut it back or deal with it. A lot of it's on private property, so you can't," said Gensic. "So, generically speaking, you're seeing a lot more kudzu in a lot more places than you used to."
The city's invasive species management budget was decreased for the year, beginning July 1. That means fewer resources to get it under control.
"A couple of years ago, we were able to hire the goats to come out and clear a kudzu patch at Pen Park. We'd like to do that again, but with the current budget, it doesn't look like we'll be able to this year," said Gensic. "We'll just have to stick to using machines and hand lappers and spraying things where you need to to kill it back."
Kudzu, which was deliberately planted in the southeastern United States in the early 1900's, was originally used to prevent erosion. Decades later, it hasn't stopped spreading.
"Since it was introduced, it's been nothing but increasing across the southeast," said Gensic.
The vines, which thrive in the warm and wet weather, have twisted their way to the train tracks at McIntire Park, trickled into backyards and covered the area along the Meadow Creek Parkway.
"You can see the kudzu coming in from the railroad, coming in from the forest, and it's already swallowing the bike lanes," said Gensic. "The city is eventually going to take over maintenance of all of that park land. VDOT doesn't do quite as much regular mowing there, and you can see where kudzu is really swallowing that road."
When it is not controlled, the vines can grow up to a foot a day in the right environment.
"If you've ever been to Georgia, they'll lose whole fields in a matter of weeks," said Gensic.
Glenna Pritzlaff moved to Charlottesville from Atlanta.
"It was twice as bad there," said Pritzlaff. "We had no grass. It was pretty much just all kudzu."
But Pritzlaff says she has noticed more of the vines in the commonwealth over the years.
"I grew up in Virginia. I don't remember the kudzu being so bad, but I noticed it when we lived in Atlanta. Now, it's starting to look more like it did there here," said Pritzlaff.
Gensic says the city tries to preserve the natural landscape by removing vines that drape throughout the forest.
"It's not so terrible running along the ground, but if it's eating your urban forest, which a lot of people love to see the trees, we do want to cut it out of there as much as we can," he said.
But Gensic says the city, which is already dealing with a small budget dedicated to invasive species, can use all the help it can get from homeowners who find the plant to be a nuisance in their own backyards.
"The city is going to do everything it can over time to at least keep it contained where we can, get rid of it where we can, but without private property assistance, it'll continue to spread across other areas of the city," said Gensic.
Gensic says, as long as its leaves are frequently cut, kudzu will eventually run out of stored nutrition and die.
"Persistence is the key word because it's a very persistent plant," said Gensic.

Kids, if your parents don't like your grades, tell them it takes a couple of Cs to spell success, but not a single A or B.
If I have accomplished anything in life, it was by standing on the shoulders of giants and whispering into their ears to smash things.
Could be wrong, but I'm guessing one of the 7 habits of highly effective people is not nose picking.
The smell of success isn't sweet; it's more like stinky B.O., dirt, and stale cheese. Wait, maybe that's just me.
If at first you don't succeed, HA HA!

A Silver Spring man who police said stabbed a fellow customer at a Colesville post office Thursday was ordered held on a $500,000 bond Friday in Montgomery County District Court.
Ray Alfred Young, 67, of the 600 block of Concerto Lane, is charged with attempted second-degree murder, first- and second-degree assault, and concealing a dangerous weapon after he confronted the victim outside the post office Thursday afternoon, according to court documents. Citing the nature of the offenses, Judge Eugene Wolfe was unwilling to reduce Young's bond at Friday's hearing.
"He thought [the victim] cut in line and then that is what set him off," Wolfe said after reviewing the case. " ... I am not willing at this stage to put him back out on the street knowing what I do about this case."
According to Montgomery County police, the assault took place shortly before 2:18 p.m. Thursday when Young confronted the victim, a 58-year-old man, outside the post office at 13217 New Hampshire Ave. The two begun to argue and Young pulled a butterfly knife, stabbing the victim twice in the chest and twice in his left shoulder blade, said Montgomery County Assistant State's Attorney Peter Feeney, who is prosecuting the case.
Two female postal service employees saw the fight and rushed to the victim's aid, eventually subduing Young with pepper spray, Feeney added.
"[Young] then went to the trunk of his car and retrieved what one of the employees believed was a baseball bat and began to approach the victim again," Feeney told Wolfe, adding that Young did not leave the area until the postal employees told him they had called the police.
Gary Courtois, Young's defense attorney, asked Wolfe to allow his client to be released to his family's care on pre-trial supervision, arguing that Young has no prior history of violent crimes and is, by all accounts, a harmless and law-abiding citizen.
"He must have felt threatened in some way ... He is as stable a citizen as you could ask for," Courtois told Wolfe, citing his talks with Young's family members before the hearing. "I do not believe this behavior is likely to repeat itself."
Courtois also mentioned Young's years of admirable work with the U.S. Department of Labor along with his significant health problems. Young has cancer, which is in remission, but is missing most of his teeth, Courtois said.
Several of Young's family members, including his brother and son, attended the hearing but did not address the judge and declined to comment on the case.
Meanwhile, Montgomery County police are applauding the quick thinking of the two postal service employees who intervened in the fight.
"According to the detective sergeant leading this investigation, the actions of these employees may have saved the life of, but most definitely assisted in preventing further injury to, the victim," wrote county police spokeswoman Officer Janelle Smith in a department press release about the incident.
Smith said that, while Young confronted the victim for cutting in line, post office employees offered a different version to detectives investigating the case.
"[The victim] was at the counter doing business and an employee asked him to step aside so that he could finish some paperwork," Smith said. "When he had finished, the manager told him to step back into line so that they could help him."
The victim remained hospitalized Friday, Feeney said.
Margie Rodriguez, a customer relations coordinator at the Colesville branch, applauded what she called the quick thinking and courage of the two postal employees, manager Estela Padilla and Eileen Jankowiak.
"They were able to think very quickly on their feet and I can say that they are certainly grateful that it didn't amount to something very grave — that it didn't result in death," Rodriguez said Friday. "We're all feeling that sense of gratitude. ... Sometimes we know what the right thing to do is, but it can take great courage to act on that knowledge in a situation like this."

Rep. Paul Gillmor, an Ohio Republican who had held his seat in the House for nearly 20 years, was found dead in his Washington apartment on Wednesday by members of his Capitol Hill staff. The cause of Gillmor's death had not been officially announced by Wednesday afternoon. He was 68.
AP via Huffington Post:
Gillmor, who represented Ohio's heavily Republican 5th District in the Bowling Green area, was first elected to Congress in 1988.
He served as a Vietnam War-era judge advocate in the Air Force after graduating law school, won a seat in the Ohio state senate in 1966, and served there for 22 years, rising to the senate presidency. After an unsuccessful run for governor in 1986, Gillmor was elected to the U.S. House in 1988 after eking out a 27-vote victory in the primary.
As a House member he was a little-known but solid Republican vote, a reliable conservative on social issues, and a strong proponent of the military.

A person usually from anywhere but Liverpool i.e. Norway, who supports Liverpool only when they are winning stuff(e.g. the champions league). They are seen to be swinging a shitty scarf over their head, singing a shitty song in a language they dont know, and have a lot of badges pinned to them.
There is Bjorn, he has supported Liverpool all his life....well since may 2005. He has his scarf on again, whats that he is singing? sounds like another language to me. He's a kopite.

Hart's Turkey Farm in Meredith, NH
- r
- Richie Nov 14, 2005 10:16 AM
My partner and I are driving up to North Conway, NH on Thanksgiving Day and want to stop at Hart's Turkey Farm for dinner in Meredith? Has anyone been there? Not looking for gourmet,just good food. I kinda expect the place to be somewhat fun. Thanks,Richie
re: hiddenboston
I have been to GreenRidge Turkey Farm many times as a child. We used to vacation around Nashua all the time back in the 1970's. I am looking forward to Hart's! Thanks everyone.
re: Richie
When I was a kid 15 at the time I was a dish washer at the greenridge turkey farm rest.$120 perhr about 1971 gobel gobel
You can't go wrong with Hart's Turkey Farm. I've been going to Hart's for many year's, and have never been disappointed. I broke a promise to myself this weekend, that I wouldn't stop here till after Thanksgiving. I was in the area winterizing the lake house, and couldn't resist my temptation to stop in for dinner, and left very full with just a small bit of guilt.
We LOVE Hart's and stop there every chance we get. My favorite dish is their turkey stir-fry; but everything is good.
The Thanksgiving Day hours are posted on the web site. I can't remember if they take reservations.... we just stop and wait. :)
My family has eaten at Hart's many times, and every meal was good. I'm not much into turkey, but there were plenty of other things to order. The place is homey and the comfort food they sell is good for that warm, fuzzy feeling.
If you are looking for turkey, then this is the place for you! It will be crowded on Thanksgiving, obviously, and they are only open 10:30am - 4pm that day. I don't know if they take reservations; I included a link below.
If you find it too crowded, you might want to try the Common Man chain of restaurants... they seem to have taken over the rest of Meredith (not necessarily a bad thing...!), so there's Lago, Camp, Lakehouse, and (during the summer) Town Docks, so if you find the line at Hart's on Thanksgiving too daunting, you could try one of these other places (great food there as well, so they may have long lines as well).
After about 6 years of having Hart's on my "I should try that place sometime" list, I finally went there after a day of rock climbing in Rumney.
Hart's was definitely worth doing. Definitely on my top 10 list of "Best Turkey Dinners"
Been going for years, it's a huge menu but Turkey any which way you want is definately their specialty. I've had great salads, good appetisers, etc. It's not gourmet but just good wholesome food. Their portions are a bit too much, so keep that in mind since they do have lighter portions or mini's.

Functional Data Analysis
With the proliferation of new data types in science and life more generally, has come the opportunity and challenge for us, as statisticians, to develop appropriate new methodologies for their analysis. One of the most popular new and growing areas of methods development is functional data analysis, pioneered by Jim Ramsay and Bernard Silverman. On the surface, functional data analysis might seem quite similar to familiar methods such as time series or longitudinal analysis, but the perspective and hence the approach are quite different.Some content is only viewable by ASA Members.

The 25-year-old man, who stalked the Delhi University student Radhika Tanwar and allegedly shot her dead last Tuesday, was arrested in Mumbai late on Friday night. The country-made pistol used in the offence was seized, the Delhi Police said.
The accused, Vijay alias Ram Singh, had already been identified by the South Delhi Police following the arrest of two of his friends, Tabrez and Ashraf, for harbouring and helping him.
Announcing the arrest at a press conference here on Saturday, Delhi Police Commissioner B.K. Gupta said: "The South Delhi Police team reached Mumbai by air on Friday night and arrested Vijay alias Ram Singh at Vikroli at around 11 p.m. He was brought to Delhi by air on Saturday morning. The .315 bore country-made pistol used by him in the crime was seized from his friend Sheikh alias Sheikhu at his instance." Sheikhu has also been arrested.
Not reported
Mr. Gupta said the accused, who lived in the victim's neighbourhood a few years ago, had "psychopathic obsession" for her. "Vijay would follow the victim to her college in bus and autorickshaw. He also tried to speak to her on few occasions, but the girl spurned his advances. She confided in her close friends about him, but never told her parents. The matter was never reported to the police as well.''
Mr. Gupta added: "Vijay went to Mumbai in 2007 after he was twice beaten up for harassing the victim, but was so obsessed with her that he would keep coming to Delhi to see her. He recently came to Delhi over a month ago and was staying in Shakur Basti.''
The Commissioner said the immediate provocation for the crime came when Vijay accosted Radhika on the foot-overbridge near her college on March 5 and tried to speak to her, but was snubbed.
"He felt humiliated and decided to eliminate her. He was spotted at the bus stop near the bridge the day the murder took place," Mr. Gupta said.
Friends' suspicion
After the murder, Vijay went to his friends, Ashraf and Tabrez, in Naharpur and purportedly told them he had had a fight with someone in Naraina. They suspected that he had done something seriously wrong and suspicion grew when they read about the murder of Radhika the following day.
The three then left for Gurgaon to meet a common friend, who refused to help him. "Vijay then spent the night at a railway station in Gurgaon and left for Mumbai the next morning," said Mr. Gupta.

The objective of this program is to help managers of crop drying and storage systems (this includes farmers and other agribusiness personnel) increase profitability, improve product quality, and reduce energy use through selection of appropriate post-harvest equipment and proper management of that equipment.
Program Description
We distributed timely postharvest crop management information through press releases, e-mail notices to Extension Educators, radio interviews, articles written for Minnesota/Wisconsin Engineering Notes, and through our departmental website (http://www.bae.umn.edu/extens/postharvest). We developed a new Extension factsheet, Grain Storage Tips: Factors and Formulas for Grain Drying, Storage and Handling, FS-M1080, that was downloaded more than 2800 times from the Extension website and was distributed via paper copies to dozens of other individuals. We also participated in workshops and field days, and we responded to many individual requests for information by phone, letter, and e-mail. We worked with Extension personnel, farmers, agribusinesses, consultants, and equipment dealers.
Unusually warm average temperatures contributed to more problems with stored grain insects than normal in 2001 grain that was stored through the summer of 2002. We wrote news releases and fielded a number of questions about management of stored grain insects. Our emphasis was on using grain and facility management techniques that minimized the need for chemical insecticides. After several consecutive years of ideal weather conditions at harvest, weather during the 2002 corn and soybean harvest was unusually cold and wet, and for many farmers, harvest extended well into November. We wrote articles and answered many questions about harvesting, drying, and managing stored corn and soybeans during cold, wet weather.
Due to increased concern about genetically modified crops in the food supply and due to increasing acreages of value-enhanced crops, farmers and elevators are becoming more interested in identity preservation of crops. We gave presentations and distributed information on identity preservation, we continued to update a page on identity preservation on our departmental website, and we helped individual farmers plan grain handling systems that would allow for identity preservation.
We helped thousands of farmers and other grain handlers in the upper Midwest improve profitability and safety by providing information about managing stored grain to minimize insect infestation, managing grain during a cold, wet harvest, and about post-harvest handling of value-enhanced crops.

McGeechan warning for tour hopefuls
ESPN Staff
March 20, 2013
Lions legend Sir Ian McGeechan insists players cannot be picked on reputation alone © Getty Images
Former British & Irish Lions boss Sir Ian McGeechan has issued a warning to those players currently sidelined with injury by insisting that form should be the key to selection for this year's eagerly-awaited tour to Australia.
Lions head coach Warren Gatland is set to announce his squad for the forthcoming tour of Australia on April 30 with the recently-concluded Six Nations set to have a significant bearing on his selection. But Ireland lock Paul O'Connell, winger Simon Zebo, Wales flanker Dan Lydiate and England prop Alex Corbisiero among those who saw little or no championship action due to injuries.
McGeechan, a key advisor to his successor as Lions coach, believes Gatland will get the tough calls right but has urged him not to select players just on their reputation. "You need to take fit players. With only a six-week preparation period you can't have players carrying injuries or players out of form," McGeechan told PA Sport.
"That's the big call for the coaches, picking fit players who are on form who can then come together, so you are working with what you want to do right from the word go with players doing every training session and available for games. You can't find form and if you are injured you haven't got the time.
"That's been the mistake in the past, in that players who have not been in form or have been injured have gone because the coach thinks he's the best player in the position based on reputation, not performance. I think the three months prior to the tour is the critical period."
Australia coach Robbie Deans recently suggested that the Lions held an advantage when it comes to preparation with the Wallabies limited to a three-week camp ahead of the Test series due to the Super Rugby season. But McGeechan does not agree. He said: "You are playing southern hemisphere countries who take it all pretty seriously anyway, they have had years to put a team together.
"They are bedded in and know what they are doing. The Lions have high-quality players but what you have to do is work out the best way of getting that talent to show in Test match conditions. Sometimes it's about not over-complicating it, it's being very clear and straightforward about what you want."
Like Gatland, Wales caretaker coach Rob Howley and England assistant coach Graham Rowntree will be on the Lions coaching staff for a second tour with the management team completed by England assistant Andy Farrell. McGeechan believes continuity is an important factor and also expects many of the players to have tackled South Africa in 2009 to also return.
He said: "When you are trying to put together a top-class, world-class Test team, if you have got that little bit of continuity you are away from first base straight away. I think Warren Gatland was the right appointment, he's an outstanding coach but he also understands the Lions and has experience from 2009. So it will be lot of similar management people and maybe a third to a half of the players. You are not starting from scratch knowing you have five weeks to be Test match ready."

- Yes on Prop 1

Here's what's at stake in the upcoming governor's election. If Texas chooses Greg Abbott as governor, Texas will continue along a pathway where politics and ideology trump science. On the other hand, with Wendy Davis as Governor, Texas will finally have a leader who puts public health and the environment above the interest of well-heeled polluters.
Abbott's recent letter threatening to sue the EPA for its plan to strengthen protections for drinking water sources betrays a long and troubling pattern.
