The media has been buzzing lately about the downfall one our favorite music streaming platforms, SoundCloud.
Rumors spread that the site would only be available for 50 more days, leaving many artists without a way to share their passion with the world. But Chance the Rapper, everyone's favorite independent artist, had something to say regarding this matter.
After a tweet from Chance describing a "very fruitful call" with SoundCloud's co-founder and CEO, Alex Ljung, it has been announced that SoundCloud will be staying in the business for now. Chance tweeted prior that he was "working on the SoundCloud thing" and within 24 hours tweeted again saying that the issue has been resolved, SoundCloud is here to stay. These claims were backed up when SoundCloud released the below tweet shortly after.
Whether Chance invested in SoundCloud, inspired the to keep going, or gave them the secret to success, it doesn't really matter because they are here to stay! Soundcloud is an outlet for artists, big and small, to connect through one common love, music. Thank you Chance for saving one the most important music streaming services that the market has to fer.

High school students in Maryland sat in the middle of a highway and blocked traffic during school hours Tuesday to protest President-elect Donald Trump's victory.
The demonstration involving Prince George County students came amid a week of similar public displays amongst thousands of progressives in the Washington, D.C., area and around the country. Protesters have been marching, rioting and vandalizing property since last week's election, mostly in areas where Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton saw significant support at the ballot box.
Fox News' Neil Cavuto questioned the motives of these young students.

"These are high school kids, they're not even old enough to vote, protesting the election of Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States," Cavuto said. "So before he's even had a chance to take any action, they're kind of shooting it in the womb here, so to speak, to say that he's a bad guy. That he's going to be the death of sanctuary cities. That he will just be bad. Period. So, in a lot of venues, you would call them 'sore losers.' But they're high school kids, so you always wonder if they're just cutting class or if someone's putting them up to this — or both."

Protesters who feel compelled to walk into oncoming traffic are not only doing so illegally, they're also doing so at their own risk. In at least one instance, a protester was struck by an oncoming vehicle.

A man reportedly died Tuesday after his ambulance was prevented from reaching a hospital by protesters who decided to block a highway. The incident was reported by Paul Joseph Watson of InfoWars via a Facebook post from someone claiming to be one of the first responders on the scene.
The post read:
I have to unfacebook for a few days. I had a patient die during a transfer last night because our ambulance was stopped by protesters and had to drive an extra 45 minutes around the blocked roads. I can't today. They can give their f—g safety pins to my daughter's fatherless 4-year-old daughter."
The post did not offer specifics of where the incident took place, and the name of the person who made the post was hidden.
During his first extensive interview after the election with 60 Minutes on Sunday night, Trump denounced the alleged hate crimes being committed by his supporters against minorities in the wake of his presidency. He said he was "saddened" to hear that some of his supporters are inciting violence and directly addressed his supporters.
"'Stop it," Trump said when told that his supporters were harassing Latinos and Muslims. "I will say this, and I will say right to the cameras: Stop it."

Meanwhile, neither Clinton or President Obama have yet to condemn the violence and property destruction of their supporters.

text: I have narrowed my two choices down to All Star Movies and French Quarter. It will be during free dining so if we pick ASMo it will be the quick service plan and regular plan with French Quarter. I don't really care either way since I will just upgrade or pay for a few TS meals OOP. The cost difference is so tiny that I am driving myself crazy going back and forth. My solution? I am making a powerpoint show to show DH and DD5 each resort and will just let them pick. I will include pros and cons off each. I keep coming across more pros to the moderates. Does anyone have anything else to offer? We will be traveling end of Feb/early March so who knows if it will be warm enough to swim Pros to French Quarter Slide Fridge included Boat to DTD(WPE) Hot tub Regular Dining Plan shares amenities with POR(where we stayed last trip) takes about two minutes to get to EPCOT where we will end up quite often Pros to value cute theme for DD5 and I Toy Story will save about $100 dollars Thanks for any input. I just want to make a decision and be done with it.

New York GOP gubernatorial nominee Carl Paladino is in a surprisingly close race with Democrat Andrew Cuomo, according to a poll released Wednesday.
A Quinnipiac University survey of likely voters placed the Tea Party-backed Paladino only six points behind Cuomo, who leads 49 percent to 43.
Paladino, a Buffalo-area real estate developer, is aided by a four-to-one margin of support among voters who consider themselves part of the Tea Party movement. Among the 18 percent of likely voters who identify with the conservative groups, Paladino enjoys 77-18 percent support.
Cuomo is the state's attorney general, and his father was a governor of the Democratic-leaning Empire State, making him a favorite to win the race. Many observers thought Paladino's victory over former Rep. Rick Lazio in the GOP primary made a Cuomo general-election victory even more likely.
Paladino has been chastised by some in his own party for saying that he wants to "take a baseball bat to Albany" and for getting himself into hot water over e-mails he forwarded containing explicit material.
The Quinnipiac survey shows both Paladino and Cuomo with over 80 percent support among their parties, and Paladino surprisingly leads among independents 49 percent to 43.
The Qunnipiac poll of 751 likely New York state voters from Sept. 16-20 has a margin of error of 3.6 percentage points.

Running back Dwight Tardy (5-11, 200, 4.5) from Santa Fe Springs (Calif.) Saint Paul fought through injuries and showed a lot of toughness and grit for his performance in 2003.
Tardy had a superb sophomore season that saw him rush for 1,735 yards and 18 touchdowns. His feat in 2002 saw him be selected all-CIF, all-area and all-league.
Tardy's 1,735 yards was just shy of a school record.
Article Continues Below
Adverse situations make character and Tardy had to fight through injuries in 2003.
Tardy was hampered by turf toe as a junior and his season finally ended when he broke his leg in the league final against Saint Francis.
Even though Tardy went through a tough season and only played eight games, he still rushed for 837 yards and nine touchdowns. Tardy was selected all-league as a junior.
Tardy is also a standout in baseball and he was an all-CIF selection as a sophomore on the diamond.
Not only is Tardy great on the diamond and the gridiron, but he is a five time BMX (bicycle) motocross world champion. He has won world meets in the Netherlands, United Kingdom, Canada and the United States.
As a running back, Tardy has some wiggle and power.
So far, early in the recruiting process, Tardy has heard from Nebraska, Colorado, USC, Washington, BYU, Notre Dame, Wisconsin and Michigan.
As a matter of fact, Tardy took an unofficial visit to Michigan last weekend and of course he and his family were impressed with the Ann Arbor campus.

It would help a lot if the clinic could run on time. I had to wait over an hour to see Dr Ali.
I have always had great confidence in Dr Ali and his staff, and it has been a great comfort to be treated as an individual (rather than a number) since my tx in 2008. Like many tx patients I guess, I have raised various concerns with Dr Ali along the way, all of which have been handled with understanding, reassurance...and action when necessary. I have no hesitation in recommending him.

Last thursday, Cybertip.ca and all the major Canadian ISPs announced an agreement to implement a voluntary censorship scheme designed to block access to child pornography. Cybertip maintains a list of sites with illegal (in Canada) content on them, and the ISPs have agreed to simply block access.
The announcement has generated quite a bit of debate. Engtech published a lengthy piece titled The Great Firewall of Canada, and Michael Geist also wrote about it in his Project CleanFeed Canada (read the comments, they're very good).
This move strikes the right balance between government mandated censorship, and a total free-for-all.Â
- Critics who worry that the list itself isn't transparent can always choose an alternate service provider who doesn't use the list. My ISP, Telecom Ottawa, isn't one of the signatories, at this point. There are lots more like Telecom Ottawa.
- Let's not forget that the object of this list is to block illegal content. Its purpose isn't to block content that some may find objectionable and others not, but rather to block content which is prohibited under the Criminal Code of Canada.
One can legitimately question the processes by which Cybertip arrives at its list, but the goal should be completely above reproach. If you think otherwise, then you're effectively demanding the right to view illegal content.

Vertical integration and exclusive vertical restraints in health-care markets
We examine vertical integration and exclusive vertical restraints in health-care markets where insurers and hospitals bilaterally bargain over contracts. We employ a bargaining model in a concentrated health-care market of two hospitals and two health insurers competing on premiums. Without vertical integration, some bilateral contracts will not be concluded only if hospitals are sufficiently differentiated, whereas with vertical integration we find that a breakdown of a contract will always occur. There may be two reasons for not concluding a contract. First, hospitals maychoose to soften competition by contracting only one insurer in the market. Second, insurers and hospitals may choose to increase product differentiation by contracting asymmetric hospital networks. Both types raise total industry profits and lower consumer welfare.

For the benefit of the disabled population, the Kerala government is considering disabled-friendly amenities in major attractions throughout the state. In spite of being one of the most beautiful tropical destinations in the world, various tourist areas in the state remain inaccessible for the disabled. But now, the state government is thinking about making these destinations "accessible for all" with better infrastructure and products for the disabled tourists.
This mission is to fulfill UNWTO's goal of "tourism for all." With such arrangements, those with hearing, mobility, visual or cognitive impairments will have free movement. There will be specially-designed ramps, wheelchairs, and non-slippery tiles on the walkways for easy and hassle-free movement for the elders and the disabled.
Every arrangement will be made so that people with disabilities can enjoy basic facilities for recreation and leisure. The first phase will be executed at Fort Kochi by December this year. Travel assistance centers will be there, which will have arrangements for electric wheelchairs, walking sticks and crutches and hotels, resorts and houseboats will have special restrooms. Food outlets will be there for those with special needs.
Chinese fishing nets, one of the biggest attractions of Fort Kochi will have handrails made of cast iron and projected standing areas along with sliding doors and grab bars. Guides will be there who are trained in sign languages and tactile maps, Braille signs and recorded information will be there for the visually impaired. There will also be proper toilet facility. Special mats for smooth movement of wheelchairs through the beach are also part of the plan.

Pilot project to investigate the impact of adipokines on Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) outcomes
Obesity is recognised by the World Health Organisation as a global epidemic. Many links have been made between obesity and poorer outcomes for patients diagnosed with a range of diseases, including cancer. In particular, obese children diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia (ALL) have a higher chance of relapse, the reasons for which are not yet fully understood. We propose to investigate this phenomenon at the level of the cell, in order to strip back the complexity and understand how the cell's basic response to chemotherapy is influenced by the increased proportion of fat tissue present in obese patients. We will identify the key molecules secreted by fat tissue in patient samples, and monitor how their levels change before and after the initial phase of chemotherapy. We will then use this information to simulate the conditions found in ALL patients using a cell culture-based system, allowing us to directly measure if these secretions are able to influence the sensitivity of ALL cells to treatment. In this way, we can identify which secretions from fat tissue are able to interfere with chemotherapy, and so design new strategies to overcome this to improve the prognosis of obese childhood ALL patients in the future.
Investigating the potential role of CHD1L, a chromatin-remodelling factor involved in the DNA damage response, in childhood neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma is a very serious cancer, comprising around one tenth of childhood tumours, with around 15 cases in 100 being incurable. Neuroblastoma is unusual as depending on the age of patient diagnosis, cure rates differ greatly due to huge differences in tumour biology. In particular, if children are diagnosed at ages beyond 12 months, the tumour will likely to have spread to other organs, meaning that the disease is likely to resist treatment. The differences between tumours is due to tumours losing large parts, or copying unwanted extra parts, of their DNA by mistake. This causes cells to incorrectly function and become cancerous. Extra copies of one DNA portion, 1q, is found in over one fifth of neuroblastoma patients, associated with poor recovery. We predict that one particular gene (CHD1L) from this 1q DNA region becomes more active in patients with extra 1q DNA, as there are more copies of it. We will measure how much CHD1L is produced in different neuroblastoma cells, to see if in fact more CHD1L is active in cells with extra 1q DNA. This may help lead to simpler diagnostic tests for neuroblastoma patients and to help find the best form of cancer treatment.
Understanding the complexity of miRNA-regulated pathways in medulloblastoma
Medulloblastoma (MB) is the most common malignant brain tumour in children. More than one third of children with MB do not survive and essentially 100% of survivors face high risk of recurrence and significant long-term quality of life issues. Thus, there is a critical need for more effective therapies to combat this disease, particularly for those tumours featuring excessive levels of Myc protein, which triggers uncontrolled cell growth. Since 2009, we have appreciated that microRNAs (miRNAs), small molecules of RNA that regulate how messenger RNAs (mRNA) lead to protein expression, are altered in MB and contribute to its development. This proposal brings together two strands of science – Myc signalling and miRNA biology – to get a better perspective of their role in the biology of MB. Integrated genomic analysis will provide new insights into how miRNAs control gene expression in MB and, in turn, how the Myc oncoprotein, and its inhibitory partner Miz1, repress the expression of some miRNAs to shape the aggressive behaviour of MB. It is hoped that improving our molecular understanding of MB will lead to more targeted therapeutic approaches and identification of disease-specific molecular markers, promoting longer survival in those children diagnosed with aggressive tumours.
Development of new drug-resistant cancer cell lines for evaluation of new cancer treatments
Acquired resistance to various anticancer is a major problem in the treatment of children's cancer in particular high-risk neuroblastoma. The development of chemotherapy drug-resistant cancer cell lines is a long established technique for the study of mechanisms of resistance to chemotherapy and the discovery of new drugs that can potentially overcome this problem. The challenge is to produce resistant cell lines that truly represent the heterogeneous nature of of clinical resistance seen in the patients. Another issue is that most work on development of resistant cancer cell lines has been done using adult derived cancer cells. Kidscan is currently producing a range of resistance cell lines derived from children's cancers.
Target acute leukemia cells in hypoxic bone marrow microenvironment by suppressing mitochondrial metabolic remodelling
In childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), residual leukemic cells persisting in the bone marrow after the first 4 weeks of therapy are termed as minimal residual disease (MRD). These cells are presumed to resistant to the therapy, but why these cells survive while the rest die remains unclear. The bone marrow microenvironment has low oxygen levels (hypoxia). We have recently shown that bone marrow microenvironment induce mitochondrial redox adaptation and confer multidrug resistance to ALL cells. Targeting this redox adaptation process could restore chemosensitivity in drug resistant cells. In on-going experiments, we found that bone marrow microenvironment help ALL cells respond to hypoxia stress and evolve a stress resistant phenotype. Surviving cells, i.e MRD cells, adapt to the stress by reducing energy requirements and increasing the levels of survival (anti-apoptotic) proteins and antioxidants. This stress adaptation also protected against stress induced by chemotherapy, partially through AMPK/Foxo3a/MnSOD2 signalling pathways. Drugs such as Metformin (used in type II diabetes) and Bay 87-2443, which target the mitochondrial respiratory function and cellular hypoxic response, overcome metabolic adaptation and restore chemosensitivity. Thus targeting metabolic adaptation in ALL may lead to the development of new therapeutic strategies for chemoresistance and relapse in childhood ALL.
Development of cancer stem cell assays for evaluation of new therapeutic drugs
Cancer stem cell theory suggests that conventional chemotherapy kills the majority of cancer cells but leaves the rare stem cells alive. These stem cells ultimately reseed the tumour, which results in the cancer returning within the patient. If the theory is correct then it should be possible to treat cancers by only targeting cancer stem cells. Rather than attacking all of the tumour cells at once, as is the case for traditional cancer therapy. This should result in the tumour slowly shrinking, since the stem cells will no longer be present to replenish cells that naturally die within the cancer. Cancer stem cell theory has been controversial, however much evidence now exists that supports their existence. Kidscan is currently developing cancer stem cell assays that will allow direct screening of drug activity against this population of cells within a cancer
Development of an assay to revolutionise childhood leukaemia research and diagnosis using ground-breaking sequencing technologies
The development of ground-breaking technologies to facilitate the introduction of a new era of whole genome sequencing will revolutionise childhood leukaemia research and diagnosis. Whole genome sequencing has identified many genomic abnormalities of clinical relevance in childhood leukaemia and cancers. Detection of these abnormalities is often difficult due to their complexity and highly inconsistent nature. As some of these abnormalities identify patients who are refractory to conventional chemotherapy, but show response to novel targeted therapies, or have a unique clinical outcome, their accurate detection is vital to guide the most appropriate therapy. Furthermore, ~10% of the human genome is unchartered due to its complex and repetitive DNA sequence, in which novel abnormalities of clinical relevance may reside. A new era of genomic sequencing has begun in which testing for all genomic abnormalities of clinical relevance can be performed in one simple test and unchartered regions of the genome can be explored for the first time. Here we will develop a specific technology imperative to the success of this new generation sequencing, which will improve our understanding of cancer development and identify patients that may benefit from modified treatment to improve their survival.
Complex sugars as a novel treatment for children's cancers
A series of complex sugars or polysaccharides isolated from natural products have been shown to kill cancer cells and has been patented. Structural characterisation of these sugars, determination of their mechanism of action and their preclinical development is continuing.
Effects of new sugar based cancer drugs on families of lymphocytes
Previous research, as described in the previous project, has identified existing anticancer properties of complex sugars from shellfish termed 'glycosaminoglycans' (GAGs). It is not known if they are effective just on leukaemia cells or if they also target any rapidly dividing cells (e.g. WBC during an infection). Kidscan is funding a study that will culture lymphocytes from healthy bloods to test what effects complex polysaccharides have on them; (toxic cell death, growth promotion, or activation). Various families of lymphocytes will be assessed: T- helper (CD4), T- effector (CD8) and regulatory (Treg) cells. Using a range of cellular assays this study will further understanding of how feasible it may be to develop GAGs for treating childhood cancer.
Combining EZH2 inhibition and Radiotherapy for the Treatment of Childhood Rhabdomyosarcomas
Every year over 60 children and teenagers in the UK are diagnosed with rhabdoymosarcoma (RMS), yet treatment regimes and survival rates have remained largely unchanged for decades. Radiotherapy is an important component of treatment for RMS. However, disease recurring at radiotherapy sites and long-term side effects following radiation are common problems. Treatment strategies that increase sensitivity to radiotherapy at the tumour site could reduce recurrences or allow lower doses of radiation to be given. This offers great promise of increasing patient survival and reducing harmful side effects. We have previously shown that a protein called EZH2 is present at higher levels in RMS than normal tissues and that by decreasing EZH2 in tumour cells we can reduce their growth. As radiotherapy kills cells by damaging DNA and EZH2 is linked to the cells' ability to repair damage to DNA, we will test the hypothesis that reducing EZH2 activity will enhance the response of RMS cells to radiation. In parallel, we will test a marker of response to this combination treatment. This pilot study may provide rationale for further preclinical testing. As drugs against EZH2 are currently undergoing clinical trials for other cancers, this combination could be readily introduced for RMS.

Thieves steal $14K in camping gear from Benbrook Boy Scouts
BENBROOK, Texas - A small Boy Scouts troop out of Benbrook is looking for help after thieves stole their trailer with camping gear for a planned trip inside it.
Police eventually found the Scouts' trailer after it was stolen from this storage facility off Benbrook Boulevard. But the entire trailer was wiped clean of all their equipment, leaving the Boy Scouts back at square one.
Troop 519 only started about six years ago. It's a smaller troop with about ten Boy Scouts but has slowly worked to outfit the trailer with gear.
"Everything we have and we've had has been earned by these boys," said Scoutmaster David Tijerina.
But as the boys were gearing up to leave for a weekend fishing trip last Friday morning, troop leaders discovered their trailer had been stolen from a storage facility on 377 and Davidson.
"Made me a little upset," said Boy Scout Jon Tijerina. "Like why would you steal something from the Boy Scouts?"
Police found the trailer in an RV park on Ohio Garden in Fort Worth on Tuesday. But it was stripped clean inside and out.
Cooking supplies, pots, pans, spoons, scrapers and other items were all missing. The camping gear was valued at $14,000.
"To the gentleman, I'm sure it just didn't mean anything. It was just a quick buck," said Tijerina. "But to us, the Boys, it was their equipment."
But other troops and community members have offered to donate their extra gear. A GoFundMe has already raised more than $2,000 so far, putting the boys well on their way to getting back on their feet.
"We're Boy Scouts," said Tyler Bender. "We're always prepared."
Police are still investigating but have not made any arrests.
The Scouts have a list of all their missing gear on their GoFundMe page if anyone would like to donate or help out.

WATCH: Lineker and co go absolutely MENTAL after late England winner
GARY Lineker, Rio Ferdinand and Alan Shearer went absolutely bonkers after England's late goal against Wales – right in front of Welshmen John Hartson and Dean Saunders.
England beat Wales 2-1 yesterday in an epic Euro 2016 encounter.
The game will live long in the memory but it was uncomfortable viewing for England fans.
Until Daniel Sturridge scored, that is.
The Liverpool man netted in the 92d minute – prompting ecstatic fans to celebrate across the country.
And the BBC pundits were no different.
Lineker, Ferdinand and Shearer were filmed screaming, jumping and punching the air after the winner.
While Welsh legends Dean Saunders and John Hartson were forced to watch on in agony – after their side led at half time.
The amazing moment was filmed inside the BBC studio – and the group of pundits couldn't hold back the ecstasy.
England now top their group and will look for a win against Slovakia on Monday night to progress in the tournament.

Kermit the Frog is getting a new voice.
After a 27-year run, Steve Whitmire will no longer be voicing the beloved green frog, a Muppets Studio spokesperson confirmed to HuffPost on Tuesday. Muppets fan site Tough Pigs was first to report the news.
Taking over for Whitmire is Matt Vogel, a current Muppets performer. He will be heard for the first time as Kermit next week in a Muppets Thought of the Week video, a series appearingon YouTube, the spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter.
According to Tough Pigs, Muppets fans had been speculating about Whitmires departure for the past few months, as they noticedhis characters werent being used in recent Muppet Thought of the Week videos.
Details on Whitmires departure are sparse, though CBS New Yorkreports that he quit. HuffPost contacted Whitmires representatives for comment but did not immediately receive a response.
The puppeteer was involved with the Muppets from the late 70s, Tough Pigs notes, but he first took on the role of Kermit in 1990 following the death of Muppets creator Jim Henson. He was reportedly chosen for the role by Hensons son, Brian.
Meanwhile, Vogel has provided vocals for Muppet characters like Floyd Pepper,Uncle Deadly and Sweetums. Hes also voiced Big Bird and The Count on Sesame Street.

Polywell Poly 7025A Desktop Review
By July 31, 2007reviewed
The Polywell Poly 7025A is an ideal entertainment PC waiting to happen. Unless you're willing to shell out more than our test configuration's $499 price, however, you won't find it very entertaining—but it does make a pretty good general-purpose budget desktop.
The Poly 7025A's slim, attractive, black MicroATX case wouldn't be out of place in our home entertainment center. At 4x13x16 inches, it takes up slightly less space than a Series 2 TiVo, and when it's oriented horizontally, the location of its ventilation holes allows for maximum airflow up and away from other components. (You might be able to safely rest a cable box atop it, if you wanted.)
The Poly 7025A ranks surprisingly well as an everyday budget desktop. Its scores on our Cinebench 9.5, Futuremark PCMark05, and Windows Media Encoder tests bested those of some of the more expensive machines we tested in our recent mainstream-desktop roundup. The dual-core AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ processor and 1GB of RAM proved ample for the installed operating system (Windows Vista Home Basic), as did the 250GB hard drive. As long as you aren't a 3D gamer—the PC's score of 11.1 frames per second (fps) in our 1,280x1,024 Company of Heroes test is not really playable—this PC should more than suffice for most basic tasks, such as Web surfing, checking e-mail, using Office software programs, listening to music, or watching DVDs.
Plus, even if this bare-bones setup is right for you now, you'll still have the potential to upgrade it later. Its four free expansion slots—two PCI, one PCI Express (PCIe) x16, and one PCIe x1—offer significant upgrade potential, as long as you can find half-height cards that will fit in the case. The PC also has two free RAM slots, two unused front-accessible 3.5-inch drive bays, and a spare hard drive bay—though the case's cramped interior makes adding new drives somewhat difficult.
It might be a tempting thought, but you couldn't use the review unit we received as a TiVo-style digital video recorder: It didn't have a TV tuner, a remote control, or even Vista Home Premium. About the only Media Center fillips it featured were a 20x DVD±RW burner and eight-channel audio, which are standard equipment on many of today's budget PCs.
The Poly 7025A is a workable choice for basic computing, and it's also a good pick if you're looking for an inexpensive second PC that you can deck out down the road.

Universal Sompo General Insurance Company is going through senior management level changes.
While the joint venture company promoted by Allahabad BankBSE 0.36 % and four other partners is still in search to fill up the managing director slot, the company's chief investment officer for seven years Indraneel Basu quit earlier in the month to explore consulting opportunities. Hareshwar Karekar from L&T Insurance has replaced him in a lateral movement.
Meanwhile, sources in Universal Sompo said that Insurance Regulatory & Development Authority of India has granted a short-term extension to Onkar Nath Singh to continue as executive chairman of the company till mid-October as the insurer has failed to meet its first deadline of July 15 for hiring an MD.
Sources close to the development said that the search for an MD is in full swing and the company has last week interviewed a few senior people in the industry for the job.
Earlier in May, Taketoshi Nagaoka, who was nominated by overseas joint venture partner Sompo Japan Nipponkoa, stepped down as MD following a change in insurance laws.
The revised foreign direct investment rules in India do not allow a foreign company nominee to head local ventures.
Singh, the former Allahabad Bank chairman, is slated to become non-executive chairman of the company once a new MD takes charge. He has been in the executive role since the company's inception in 2007.
Indian Overseas Bank, the other state-run bank in the JV, has 19% interest with private sector Karnataka Bank's 15%. Dabur is the lone non-finance promoter with 10% stake.
Allahabad Bank has engaged a consultant to advise it on the stake sale plan

Websites - BoneTheFish.com
Long story, short. TVGuide crushed a site that was near and dear to many viewers, and had us laughing daily. The powers that be at TV Guide decided: let's take a great community, a very interesting concept and a ton of valuable input and make it a redirect to a subdirectory of garbage that looks like a tabloid. That was the great demise of one of the greatest websites of all time, which unfortunately fell victim to its own namesake (which will not be named here, but we are sure you can figure it out)! We vowed to keep the spirit of "the site that shall never be named" alive in theme and spirit. That spirit was given a name in March of 2009- "Bone the Fish". This early time frame is when things can fall apart without the help of the fans - be it a movie series, tv show, celebrity or movie group. We value the opinions of our new fans and community, and we realize that people indeed want to vote on their favorite BTF moment. So take a minute, sign up for the new BTF revolution and comment and vote until your fingers are worn to the bone!

|I think Swanpride's point is that BTF should not become a hate site for celebrities. We already saw what happened when it became a politcal hate site and a political war zone. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on March 11, 2010, 1:09 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote

|There is a difference between bashing shows/TV-Characters and real people. It's one thing to say that one is a bad actor (or simply the wrong one for a show) but quite another one to say ie that an actress boned because she put on too much weight or an actor because he made a stupid comment on TV. I, for my part, feel distinctively uncomfortable with the "celebrity"-part of the site. -- Submitted By: (Swanpride) on March 7, 2010, 9:50 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|Swan- wasnt "the site that shall not be named" always a site that bashed things for when they started to go downhill? I think with the elimination of the hate votes and political propaganda votes that were stacked and the new voting system that limits how much one IP can vote ovre a certain time will clean the site up. We wanted to open the site up to all things, not just TV shows, and so far, it seems to be going well on both ends- TV and otherwise, so keep on commenting! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 7, 2010, 4:10 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|Joebagofdonuts has a point, nevertheless. I am beginning to think that including new topics was a mistake all along. The political topics, which only bring users at each other throats, are somewhat irritating, because really, they can't be worded it a way that it would be making sense for voting "never boned" or "day one", because political issues don't tend to be clear cut. Then there are the whole topics where people are judging celebrities. It's turning into a bashing site! You don't know them, so please, give them a break! But the part which make JTS big and which draws users here to BTF is going under more and more. -- Submitted By: (Swanpride) on March 6, 2010, 3:48 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|I don't think the site has boned yet. I'm so glad the vote stacking's been fixed, but I miss the old top navigation bar. It's not much of a problem because the new one takes on a more modern look and fades away. -- Submitted By: (MacFan95) on March 6, 2010, 8:51 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|Joebagofdonuts- hate to disagree with you, but we spent hours clearing off the conservative and the liberal vote stacking, and the Dawn Lyn hate votes, and Porche DeRossi Hate votes. Also the voting has ben upgraded to prevent massive vote stacking and the political grandstanding votes. And as for Barack Obama being gold on the site, there seem to be mostly negative comments and votes for him, now that we got rid of the vote stacking on his page. So take a look around again before you declare the site boned when all of your complaints have been duly fixed, and the permanent solutions in place! -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on March 6, 2010, 5:39 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|I hate to say that Bone The Fish has boned but it has. Enough of this Dawn Lyn crap. Come on. Everything the poor girl has touched is that bad? Really? Every show she appeared on has boned the fish? Really? The site has also gottne too political. Don't we have enough political sites already? According the Bone The Fish anything Barack Obama touches turns to gold. Of course Sean Hannity, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, etc... are all the devil. The purpose of the site is to talk about television shows, movies, celebrities, etc and have fun. The site isn't fun anymore. -- Submitted By: (JoeBagODonuts) on March 5, 2010, 7:10 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|Almost one year old- and all of the Dawn Lyn and crazy vote stacking (was every liberal cause on here voted through the roof) and some goofy conservate causes that were stacked up are all gone. Now the voting is tied to an account we'll ee who can vote- lets hope the site gets better in eyar two! No more political and hate vote stacking!

|My comment before the last was intended to be rhetorical, but I didn't want to not thank Hikariu for making a reason based on my comment, when I thanked Dolfan for having done the same. And the ballot stuffers? It wouldn't surprise me if the goal was (is?) to hijack the site so their opinions get top reasons. Probably members of political organizations with nothing better to do. As I said before, we're best off ignoring them. Since you've made it where only members can vote, the stuffing has been kept in check greatly. Bone the Fish STILL hasn't boned. -- Submitted By: (Robert) on February 20, 2010, 1:36 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote
|No Robert- you didnt inspire the reason for political post only users. Look around and you will find them easy enough! They are typically angry, have NO posts on anything but political topics, and are probably the ballot stuffers that have been shut down for the most part. Are these people trying to hijack the site? Could be, we'll see. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on February 20, 2010, 12:34 pm - (0 votes) - Login to Vote

|I saw that we just got a new reason for Boning as "everything is turning into republican vs. democrat" BTF has tried to allow as many possible topics to be put on the site from Celebrities, TV Shows, Movie Series, Websites and Random Topics. Some of those are political (Obama, Bush etc.) and thus it encourages some sort of partisan argument. Also, some shows and or movies- Simpsons and Family guy come to mind- have made it a point (for better or worse) to become political, thus it is fair to say a political argument can come out of them as shows or media. As far as Bone the Fish goes, all non-spam commentary from any user of any political stripe is approved and put on the site, and no users are turned away or censored for their opinions. Also, I could buy into this topic if people were trying to put a political spin on something like "Leave it to Beaver" but I'm not seeing that. The political fights are here, but they seem to be in the proper place where it makes sense to have them. -- Submitted By: (Chubby Rain) on February 18, 2010, 5:41 am - (0 votes) - Login to Vote

Victoria is a precious multicultural state that is composed of various multicultural organisations, programs, government departments and services that address a broad spectrum of needs for migrants.
Relevant organisations work collaboratively to deliver services more effectively to the common client group by creating networks (such as Local Settlement Planning Committee – LSPC). As Robert Hughes from Jesuit Social Services noted and displayed how geographical borders and variety of networks in local areas are confusing for social workers on the ground. The number of networks out there and variety of networks make it challenging and time consuming for social workers to identify the network that is beneficial for their line of work.
On 11 Nov 2011, the SGP/HSS forum addressed the challenges with network meetings and service boundaries, most importantly how to manoeuvre around those challenges in order to obtain relevant information and participate in the right network.
Successful network conveners have been invited to share their invocative practises with the participants. Sue Casey gave an insight into their Victorian Refugee Health Network. Phillip Lysaught from Centrelink talked about their Case Coordination in Broadmeadows and Jennie Barrera about the successful Wyndham Humanitarian Network.
Presentations are available for download below:
Sue Casey - Victorian Refugee Health Network
Phillip Lysaught - Case Coordination
Jennie Barrera - Wyndham Humanitarian Network
Forum participants had the opportunity to have a discussion about various geographical borders, geographical networks, the challenges and most importantly how to overcome those challenges. As a result of the discussions at the forum, the planning committee has developed a Network Guideline suggestion from the SGP/HSS participants for settlement workers and network conveners. Download the Network Guidelines here.
Participants at the forum learned many new things, including:

I was speaking with my co-worker Kevin about his involvement and it turned out that he joined a team with multiple people I knew. Specifically Peter, shown in the first photo below sandwiched in between Box-man and the woman with some serious looking femme-guns. Kevin and Peter were working with Joe from Preposterous Films, as well as a few other people I knew on the team. On Friday they randomly drew the genre dark comedy, which is one of the few comedy genres I can get into. The film "U Pack It" centered around a self packing and shipping business, ala "The Office." Somehow Kevin went into the project as a grip and ended up being a key actor! That's film making.
Below are some picture from the evening.
It was a dead heat between U Pack It and another film Good Ol' Chap (a silent film in the style of Charlie Chaplin) in my opinion. None of the other films were even a distant second. Good Ol' Chap ended up winning the audience choice award in the end. Still, the Preposterous Film team laid the ground for a seriously excellent web series. Great job guys.

NSST is a state-of-the-art bridge team trainer designed to replicate the environment found on the bridge of a Navy ship and utilizes life-like scenarios with visual simulations to train Navy bridge teams. U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 1st Class James E. Foehl By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Stephanie Tigner, Fleet Public Affairs Center, Pacific Naval Base San Diego hosted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil its newest navigation, seamanship and ship handling trainer (NSST) on June 11. NSST is a state-of-the art bridge simulator used to train ship crews in navigation and ship handling using virtual technology. The NSST program was launched to improve training efficiency and effectiveness and to reduce training costs. The program updates the Navy's current navigation, seamanship and ship handling training systems and provides high fidelity, user-friendly navigation training in all fleet concentration areas and on board Navy warships. "I'm absolutely delighted to be here to do this ribbon cutting,†said Commander, Naval Surface Forces Vice Adm. Terrance T. Etnyre. "I firmly believe this is going to have a dramatic impact on the ability to train our officers and bridge crews to navigate and perform ship handling.†The NSST system has already been established in Everett, Wash., Pearl Harbor, Yokosuka and Sasebo, Japan. "These simulators are designed essentially to create a virtual maritime environment identical to conditions you would experience at sea in a real ship,†said Garland Hardy, a sub-contractor assigned to provide NSST training. "That allows us to provide realistic training to the Navy for all aspects of navigation, ship handling and seamanship. We can teach people how to respond to dangerous situations and potentially catastrophic scenarios in an environment that is completely safe.†Quartermaster 1st Class (SW) Jose Loya, assigned to Afloat Training Group, Pacific, said the training was very realistic. "If you know you are going to do an underway replenishment, you can come here, jump on the simulator and try to get the effect,†said Loya. "It's going to benefit the Navy and all the ship handlers out there.â€

Contemporary knowledge about God, Evolution, and the meaning of human life.Methodology of spiritual development.
Sufi Parables/Parable about the Master Casting no Shadows
"Shadow cannot fall on the source of light!"
There were times when many Sufi schools flourished, and people, looking for wisdom, went from one master to another, choosing the one from whom they would like to learn.
Once some young men who decided to go on a journey and find a great and wise sheikh gathered.
They discussed different stories about those teachers about whom they had heard remarkable legends and were impressed most of all by the legend of the Master Who was so perfect that He even cast no shadows!
So they went to Him to become His disciples.
They expected to see a wonderful man — a magician who was endowed with great abilities and knowledge by the Grace of Allah.
* * *
When the travelers approached the house of the Master, He was standing at the gate. It seemed that He was waiting for them.
The Master kindly welcomed the travelers.
The sun was shining, and to the disappointment of the seekers, the shadow of His body followed obediently its every movement…
Now the young men did not know what to do…
However, the Master cordially invited them to enter, saying:
"I knew that I would have some visitors over for lunch and prepared a meal. Don't upset Me, please, and eat here with Me! You have made a long journey and are tired! Your efforts should be rewarded!"
To avoid hurting Him and to hide their disappointment, the young men agreed thinking that they would continue their journey and searches after having a rest.
They washed their hands near a spring and began their meal with the Master.
"You, probably, were told nonsense about Me," — said the Master, looking at them knowingly. — "But it isn't worth believing everything that people say! It is better to seek the Truth!
"A lot of legends are fabricated about each Master Who works to help people. It is said about Me too that I can do whatever I want, that I can heal any illness and return the dead to life… Rumors love to crowd around the Truth!
"Yet I never can do only that which people wish! I always do only that which Allah wishes, and the happiness of My life consists in the fact that My will and the Will of Allah do not differ anymore. I am just a humble executor of His Will."
When the young men made themselves comfortable in a garden to take a rest after the meal, a sick person came to the Master. His body was covered with scabs.
As the Master spoke with him, his face gradually became brighter and brighter. A smile blossomed on it. The understanding increased, and the love for Allah and for all beings in the Creation began to shine in his heart.
He thanked the Master, bowed low, and walked to the gate… Suddenly his skin became clean!
Shocked by that miraculous healing, he came back and thanked the Master once again with tears in his eyes, hardly believing what had happened…
The young men were amazed…
"Forgive us!" — they said — "We were wrong! You are a great Healer and the One Who knows human souls! Tell us how You do this!"
"I helped this man to understand and see the cause of his disease. When the cause is recognized and eliminated through the right understanding and repentance, it is not difficult to heal the body as well.
"If the shadow of the past is erased with the help of repentance and correct understanding of how one should live and act, then it is possible, by removing the cause, to change its consequences.
"Every action and every thought of a person leaves traces in the Absolute. Sometimes such traces are dark, sometimes light, sometimes deep, and sometimes very insignificant. Whatever the case may be, everything that one did in the past has its influence on one's present destiny, while the way one thinks and acts now will have an effect on one's future destiny.
"Yet every one of us has the ability to purify and transform himself or herself as a soul, thus coming closer to the Purity of Allah!
"We can really purify ourselves from the dark shadows of the past! In this case, our lives will change for the better!
"When such a transformation of the soul is reached, it becomes possible to heal the body as well."
So it happened that the young men stayed with the Master and became His disciples.
Many years had passed since then. They learned to see the causes and effects of events, to cleanse the organs inside human bodies with the Light of Allah, to hear His instructions in the silence of their spiritual hearts, to feel that love for people which, among other things, impels one to help those who suffer. They also learned to preach Love and Truth…
… When, going to the world to serve people by the knowledge that they had received from the Master, they turned around — they saw Him standing at the gate of His house like in the first day they met. Behind His body, they could contemplate the shining Light, which was similar to the huge risen sun. That was the Light of Allah, flowing, illuminating and saturating all around. Indeed, no shadows were seen anywhere!
Now they could see this.

WOMEN from all over the country were competing yesterday to be crowned most stylish at Aintree, in an event which is likely to rival Ascot.
Women preened themselves and were dressed in their finery to compete for the grand prize of a Jaguar car for the best-dressed female.
A rainbow of colour and a variety of hats were on show, but fashion experts said some of the more daring would not be welcome at the more high-brow Ascot. Commenting on a woman (left) wearing a tight coroutfit, our columnist David Emanuel said, "I am amazed to see that in broad daylight, she has gone completely over the top in more ways than one.
"The outfit is totally unacceptable for the races, very vulgar and it is not really great for women.
"She would not be allowed into Royal Ascot, as it is more formal, she would be stopped, but perhaps Aintree have relaxed their codes."
However, Aintree is more of a people's event. Hatmaker Alyson Tod, from Abergavenny, said if people were comfortable and happy with their outfit then it was up to them.
She said, "You should always dress for the function and be practical.
"It is a long day and you need to be comfortable, it does not look as if she would be that in a corset."
