TEAMS: Detroit Tigers, Cleveland Indians, Chicago White Sox, Houston Astros
DETROIT (AP) -- Miguel Cabrera hit a two-run homer in the first inning and Prince Fielder added a solo shot in the eighth to help the Detroit Tigers avoid a three-game sweep with a 7-1 victory Wednesday night over the Cleveland Indians.
Detroit's Doug Fister (8-8) allowed a run and four hits in seven innings. He struck out six and walked one.
Ubaldo Jimenez (9-15) gave up four runs and six hits in 7 1-3 innings. He was generally sharp after allowing Cabrera's 35th homer of the year, but Detroit tacked on five more runs in the eighth to break it open.
The Tigers lost back-to-back 3-2 games to start this series but took the finale to remain a game behind the first-place Chicago White Sox in the AL Central.
Fister has been on the disabled list twice this season and also missed a start Aug. 25 because of a groin problem. He's had Cleveland's number lately, though. In his last seven starts against the Indians, he's 5-1 with a 1.54 ERA.
Detroit is hoping for another big September from the right-hander. He went 5-0 with a 0.53 ERA in the month last year.
If Fister can stay healthy and provide quality outings, the Tigers could have a pretty formidable trio of starters for their playoff chase -- with Justin Verlander and Max Scherzer also looking impressive.
Austin Jackson led off the Detroit first with a single. One out later, Cabrera homered to right.
Cleveland cut the margin in half in the fourth on an RBI single by Michael Brantley, who has hit safely in 16 straight games against Detroit.
Jimenez became the first major leaguer in 2012 to reach 15 losses. It looked like he might pitch his first complete game since coming to Cleveland in a midseason trade last year, but he was pulled in the eighth after Andy Dirks hit an RBI triple.
Dirks scored on a sacrifice fly by Cabrera. Fielder followed with his 24th homer of the season, and Jhonny Peralta made it 7-1 with a two-run double.
While the game was still close, Detroit reliever Joaquin Benoit walked Ezequiel Carrera to start the top of the eighth and fell behind 2-0 to pinch-hitter Casey Kotchman. After a visit from pitching coach Jeff Jones, Benoit got Kotchman to hit a routine fly to center.
Shin-soo Choo then grounded into a double play.
NOTES: Cleveland 3B Jason Donald was called out by umpire Jim Joyce on a very close play at first in the fifth. Joyce infamously called Donald safe at first in a game at Detroit in 2010, costing Tigers pitcher Armando Galarraga a perfect game. ... Donald made a terrific catch in foul ground on Brennan Boesch's popup in the fourth, holding on while tumbling over the railing and into the crowd. A young woman appeared shaken up but was able to walk away.

Ok I've looked around and couldn't find an answer so I've come here. I'm wondering how ladders are going to work with both Shoddy and Pokemon Lab being active (even though there isn't a ladder on PL right now to my knowledge). Can a user use EITHER simulator and use the same account? i.e. have the same rating on both. This is relevant when it comes to voting requirements. Is the Smogon server going to be shut down on Shoddy or what :S? The main reason for me asking is the upcoming UU suspect voting. Someone (me,lol) may have qualified on the Smogon Shoddy server, but only PL ratings might matter. Yeah just some clarification plix :3 I guess this doesn't matter too much with gen V soon but its nice to know.
Smogon's Shoddy Battle 1's server is discontinued. Poke Lab does have a ladder (see File->Find) but there's currently no way to view rankings. That will be added soon. The rating data for Shoddy Battle 1 is still available, and if it is required for some pre-existing purpose, it can be consulted.

It is an interesting game. Realistic, if I would describe it. But then, how was I supposed to know you can jump on top of cannon balls? I had no idea, and so fell in the endless pit.
Great game though. At least I died a hero.

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- The newly elected sheriff for Putnam County doesn't take office until January, but he says he's ready to hit the ground running, now.
Steve Deweese set a goal to become sheriff 21 years ago. Tuesday night, he accomplished that goal.
The sheriff elect has already set short and long-term goals for his upcoming term.
"I said it from day one when I announced my candidacy for sheriff that the drug problem, not only in Putnam County, but across the United States -- we have to start deterring a little bit of that, and you will see a (reduction) in crime," Deweese said.
Deweese says 86 percent of crime is drug related. His goal is to reduce drug crimes in the county by at least 10 to 15 percent. A good place to start is in the schools.
"Whatever you have going on in society, you're going to see the ramifications of that in high school," Poca High School Assistant Principal Pat Burlingame said.
Poca High School used to have a prevention resource officer (PRO) on the job every day.
Now, there's only one in the county, so they have to share him with the rest of the schools.
"We need that PRO officer here," Burlingame said.
Deweese is already looking into applying for grants to get an officer for every school. To protect students and his deputies, he also wants to bring back the K-9 unit.
"Not only as a deterrent for an active shooter in our schools, but it's a huge officer safety thing for them on the streets," Deweese said.
"That's not available to us at this time, and it was very helpful; especially with the parking lot area to search out drugs that may be in vehicles," Burlingame said.
Deweese has already spoken with school administrators and is planning to work with the board of education to accomplish these goals.
In addition to all of that, he says he plans to immediately speak with his deputies about any changes they would like to see within the department.
Deweese won the race for sheriff with more than 66 percent of the vote.

AT&T 3G Works On This PhonePros: To my surprise this phone does have the AT&T 3g compatible radio. I purchased this phone as a simple backup phone. Based on the newegg specs I expected the phone not to work with AT&T 3g and I was fine with that. I was just happy I could find a cheap android phone. Cons: Sometimes the phone is a little slow but I can totally overlook that fact since it was super cheap. Other Thoughts: For a hundred and thirty bucks I have an android with hot spot functionality and AT&T 3G connectivity. I couldn't be more happy. Best backup phone ever! Did you find this review helpful? |
Good for the moneyPros: Price, Decent battery life (not great, but not bad either... ran a GPS app on a 6 hour hike and the battery survived), Cheap, completely uncrippled, trivial to use for tethering in both linux and windows, touchscreen surprisingly easy to use despite small size Cons: Next to useless camera (so bad, barcode reader apps don't work in bright sunligh!), Small and low-res screen, slowish processor, slow to load websites with graphics heavy or with javascript Other Thoughts: I wanted a cheap android device with wireless capabilities so I could check email and try out android GPS apps. This fit the bill. It's pretty slow to run games (angry birds is sluggish, but playable), but it's fine for email checking, web browsing and GPS apps. So, you get what you pay for, but it's still quite serviceable. Did you find this review helpful? |
Who needs a warranty?Pros: A fair mix of equipment, when it works. Cons: Six months in, it won't take a recharge anymore. Other Thoughts: This handset alone cost me $25/mo, for how long it lasted. Total ripoff. Did you find this review helpful? |
3G on T-MobilePros: @Bidwell This phone will never support 3G on T-Mobile as it does not support 1700 UMTS band. It is made for Singapore market. Cons: None Did you find this review helpful? |
Good Unlocked Smart Phone for Cheap!Pros: - Wifi Cons: - DO NOT USE THE WALL ADAPTER THAT COMES WITH THE PHONE. The charger that came with mine didn't work. It is really cheap in quality & drains the battery instead. That is why so many people have bat issuesd. Just use the USB cord and connect it to your computer. Other Thoughts: Only buy if you want an unlocked smart phone for cheap. Know that this phone cannot compare to the other smartphones out there such as the iphone. I have an itouch & the speed & screen resolution is much better than this phone. Only get this if you are a casual phone user. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
great phone best buying from t-mobilePros: You get more than what you pay. Great features. Cons: Battery could be better but enough for a day, if you have a job during the day. Other Thoughts: Small of course. But big phones with same features worth 2-3 times of the price. Did you find this review helpful? |
terrible product!!Pros: -Newegg's customer service Cons: -the phone wouldn't take a charge after just 32 days of ownership Other Thoughts: I bought this phone since I didn't want to upgrade my AT&T account and pay $$$$ for data plan. I put in my SIM card and phone was ready to use. However, after just 32 days, my phone wouldn't take a charge. I left my phone charging for 30 hours and it still showed 1% charged. I called Newegg right away and at first the customer service rep said that they couldn't refund my money since I missed the 30-day refund policy by 2 days. When I asked to speak to a manager I got transferred to someone else (not a manager) but this rep was alot more helpful. I was able to get a pre-authorization on my return and the refund has been credit back to my account. 1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Four hour battery!! Android OS - Good, Battery - The WorstPros: Android OS, reasonable price, good features (compass, GPS, FM tuner) Cons: Battery lasts only four hours!!! Other Thoughts: I will try calling manufacturer, but not optomistic. 0 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
DisappointingPros: unlocked, Android OS. Wi-Fi Cons: The major problem is that the battery barley lasts a day and the device is very slow to charge. Other Thoughts: The navigation through the menus is not as intuitive as it might be, and the slow response at times doesn't help. Did you find this review helpful? |
Open Box shipped for new item, TWICEPros: I don't know, yet. Cons: I ordered a NEW IDEOS. I received an open box, used phone. Called newegg. They wanted to wait to ship a new one until they received the return. I said, "Not cool." They shipped another out right away. Got it the next day. BUT it also was an open box, used phone?! Called newegg back, they took $40 off and we called it even. I really wanted a new phone, but it looks like Newegg isn't capable of delivering one. CHECK THE SEALS ON YOUR BOX when the phone arrives. Are the cables factory wrapped? This is the first problem I've had with newegg products. I'm mostly satisfied with their response, but I wanted a new phone, and they couldn't deliver what they're selling. Odd. Other Thoughts: I haven't even tried this phone. But the experience of acquiring it has left a sour taste in my mouth. If I end up loving this phone, I might come back and re-rate it. But this low rating is here to help others realize that newegg is consistently shipping open box IDEOS as "new". Enjoy! 1 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

\nFamily Camp is an opportunity for your family to get away from everyday life\, and take a weekend as a family to grow clos er to Christ\, in the beautiful setting of the Antiochian Village Camp. At Family Camp\, eating a meal together as a family is the norm\, not the ex ception.
\nNot your typical vacation\, Family Camp offers a mini-vac ation without maps\, lines for popcorn or decisions over where to eat. Our flexible schedule gives you the choice of "doing it all" from canoeing to volleyball\, or just taking it easy and savoring a good view from a picni c bench.
\nBecause you're at the Village\, the day is measured not s
o much by hours\, but by prayer—the day is bookmarked with Matins and Vesp
ers in beautiful St. Ignatius Church\, with services sung by everyone pres
ent. Family Builder sessions offer practical\, down-to-earth resources for
keeping our families strong.
\nSome of our families come to meet up
with families of far-away friends\; others have come and made friends and
come back to reunite. Either way\, in addition to family time\, our moms\,
dads and kids also enjoy meeting and spending time together. Dow

Alleged members and associates of g-Shine bloods gang charged with drug and gun offenses
January 19, 2011 |
NEWARK, N.J. – Four members or associates of the G-Shine Bloods criminal street gang operating in Plainfield, N.J., were arrested today by a federal task force for alleged drug and gun offenses, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced.
Andre Kelly, 44, a/k/a "Duke," was arrested in Edison, N.J.; Haleem Mc Coy, 26, a/k/a "Hollar," Mustafa Harris, 32, a/k/a "Moose," and Rajab Gomez, 27, a/k/a "Snow," were arrested in Plainfield, N.J. All four defendants are charged in individual Complaints with distribution and possession with intent to distribute crack cocaine; McCoy is also charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm. Other individuals arrested as part of the alleged ring will be prosecuted by the Union County Prosecutor's Office. Members of the task force recovered seven guns during the course of Kelly's arrest, and one gun during the course of Gomez's arrest.
The defendants appeared today before U.S. Magistrate Judge Joseph Dickson in Newark and were detained pending a bail hearing on Friday, January 21, 2011.
U.S. Attorney Fishman stated: "New Jersey residents should not have to live in fear of street gangs operating and recruiting in their neighborhoods. Today's arrests demonstrate our ongoing commitment to work with county prosecutors and other state and local partners to stem the tide of violent crime."
Michael B. Ward, Special Agent In Charge of the Newark Division of the FBI stated, "Today's arrests of 'G-Shine' Bloods and their associates in Plainfield, N.J., represent law enforcement's continued emphasis on addressing violent gang activity. These arrests are also reflective of the fine coordination which exists between law enforcement in New Jersey. Agents assigned to our Safe Streets Task Force coupled with investigators from the Union County Prosecutor's Office, New Jersey State Police, and Plainfield Police Department jointly investigated the case leading to today's arrests. These arrests should serve as notice to those involved in gang activity that law enforcement resources are focused, fluid, and interchangeable in devoting all necessary means to accomplish the task."
If convicted, each of the defendants charged with the crack offense faces a minimum of five years in prison and a maximum potential penalty of 40 years in prison and a $2 million fine. If convicted of the firearms offense, defendant McCoy faces a maximum of ten years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael B. Ward in Newark, and the FBI Violent Crimes Criminal Enterprise Task Force assigned to the Safe Streets Task Force; the Union County Prosecutor's Office; the New Jersey State Police; and the Plainfield Police Department for the investigation leading to today's charges. The investigation is ongoing.
The charges and allegations contained in the Complaints are merely accusations and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.
The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rodney Villazor of the U.S. Attorney's Office Narcotics/Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Force Unit in Newark.
Defense counsel: Kelly: John Yauch, Federal Public Defender, Newark (and for all four defendants for the purposes of the initial appearance)

For example, is there a difference in result if I adjust the exposure slider then make a change in the tone curve vs if I do the same operations in the reverse order? My suspicion based on instinct and casual observation is that some operations do commute, but most do not. Can anyone shed more light on this? Are there particular pairs of operations which produce important or dramatic differences depending on order?
Agreed, actually when working in the develop module Lightroom works with the original file and re-renders the file with every adjustment made and as Rikk says the adjustments are applied in a specific order. If you have made several changes to a particular setting e.g saturation, clarity, exposure it will render the net effect of each.
Are you saying that regardless of which order in which I actually apply the editing adjustments, LR rerenders the editing changes applying adjustments in its predetermined order. So, in my original post example if LR wants to apply Exposure adjustments before Tone Curve adjustments, it will do so even if I change the tone curve before I move the Exposure slider. If this is the case, is the predetermined order that LR uses essentially the top down order of controls on the Basic panel or something else?

Can we hire the venue for a half day or a couple of hours?
The Mansion is hired out to only one client each day to ensure that they receive the full attention of the events team. We do offer a reduced 3-hour venue hire rate for couples who want to hire the mansion for their ceremony only. Please contact the Wakehurst events team for more information.
Can we supply our own alcohol (BYO) or provide a cash bar for evening guests?
Our onsite caterers offer the option of client self-supply of alcohol with a corkage fee, drinks packages on a per head basis, beverages on a sale or return basis, and evening cash bars. Please speak directly to our onsite caterers for a quote.
Can we bring our own caterer, entertainment or production company?
Due to our venue being a Grade I Heritage-Listed building, the greatest care must be taken to prevent damage. Only our approved suppliers are allowed to provide catering, entertainment and production services for any event taking place in the Mansion. This also allows us to restrict the range of suppliers to those that provide services to the very high standards of delivery that we expect for our clients.
Are we able to use a friend/s as the DJ/Band?
Only accredited suppliers are allowed to provide entertainment services for any event at Wakehurst Place. Occasionally non-approved entertainment can be accommodated but only with prior consent from our Event Operations Team, which will require full adherence to our venue and garden regulations, Wakehurst Place's Premises Licence and health & safety protocols. Please see our approved suppliers list for accredited entertainment suppliers.
Can we use our own florist or photographer?
We have a list of recommended florists and photographers which we highly recommend. However you are permitted to use your own choice of florist and photographer.
Is there accommodation on site?
Although there is no accommodation on site, we are located within a short distance of many hotels and bed and breakfast providers. Please speak with the wedding and events co-ordinator for a guide and any preferential rates on local hotels.
Is there car parking available on site?
As part of your venue hire you will receive access to either the staff car park (weekday evenings and weekends only) or parking in the Visitor Centre car park. Guests may leave cars overnight if pre-arranged with the wedding and event co-ordinator.
What about access and setup for caterers and suppliers?
The start of your hire period marks the point at which your chosen venue will be ready to receive you and your guests. Caterer and supplier access to the building for setup is pre-arranged directly between your suppliers and the Events Team.
Can my event go on later than 11pm?
A one hour extension to midnight is available and chargeable upon request. Due to nearby residences and out of courtesy to our neighbours, all standard evening hire times elapse at 23:00 hours.
Is Confetti Allowed?
The use of confetti is not permitted within or outside the venue. This also includes rice, petals and the use of biodegradable confetti. The use of bubbles is permitted.
What are the restrictions on theming?
Due to the Mansion being a Grade 1 Heritage-Listed building, no decorations may be affixed to the walls or any fittings, either internally or externally. No decorations may be placed on the existing National Trust furniture in the Hallway area. We do allow the window sills and bay area in the Dining Room to be used for arrangements but a protective base must be used underneath, and items should rest on cork or felt bases. Balloons are permitted within the venue.
Are there any restrictions on floral displays?
Flower displays may not include berries, grapes or soft fruit as they can stain the surfaces in the venue. Lilies and other flowers with staining pollen must have their stamens removed off-site. Pedestals with flowers are permitted in the venue in pre-agreed positions so as not to touch any wall or surface area.
Can we have candles and if so, what are the restrictions?
You may have battery powered candles only. As the Mansion is a Grade 1 Heritage-Listed, National Trust building, we do not allow any naked flames.
Can we smoke inside the venue?
The Mansion is strictly non-smoking in line with the Smoke-free England Legislation.
Can we have outdoor furniture or games on the Mansion Lawn?
We have outdoor benches in place already and allow some occasional tables. Picnic rugs are also permitted. Only non obtrusive games are permitted on the lawn, such as 'Giant Jenga' . We do not allow croquet or any other ball games as the area is a formal lawn that must not be damaged.
Can we have an outdoor event/barbecue on the Mansion Lawn?
The Mansion is sold and hired as an indoor venue with an accompanying garden. In cases where clients are looking for an outdoor hire space with a wet weather option, please be advised that the Mansion will probably not be the correct venue for you. Although guests are free to utilize the garden area and benches already in situ, the focus of your event - such as dining and dancing - will be inside.
Outdoor barbeque cooking is not permitted, nor are hog roasts, due to the venue's situation within a public access area and the difficulty of getting equipment brought on site for setup and breakdown.
Our caterers are able to provide creative catering solutions if you would like to have a BBQ theme meal.
Can we have a marquee on the lawn?
We do not allow any marquees to be put on the Lawn as it is a formal lawn which must not be damaged.
Its summer and we're having drinks in the garden - can our musicians play outside?
Only un-amplified musicians are permitted to play externally. They must remain on the lawn area immediately outside the Mansion Gallery and time restrictions will apply.
Can guests get access to the Gardens before the ceremony?
Please liaise directly with the Events Team for further arrangements.
Can we have fireworks?
Due to the fallout of debris from fireworks and out of consideration to our neighbours, fireworks are not permitted at any private events at Wakehurst.
Can the photographer use the upstairs of the Mansion for a group photo?
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer this as the offices are for a different department of Wakehurst and are alarmed.
Do we have an extra room for bags/changing/band etc?
You will have full use of the Library for band equipment storage, luggage, etc. However, this room is not locked and items are left at the owner's risk. An additional storage cupboard is also available in the ladies cloakroom for any luggage.
Can we arrange to leave items in the venue overnight?
Everything must be collected immediately after the event. Wakehurst cannot except any responsibility for items left overnight.

Constitution of India
The Constitution of India is the supreme law of India. It lays down the framework defining fundamental political principles, establishes the structure, procedures, powers, and duties of government institutions, and sets out fundamental rights, directive principles, and the duties of citizens. It is the longest[1] written constitution of any sovereign country in the world, containing 448[Note 1][2] articles in 25[Note 2] parts, 12[Note 3] schedules, 5 appendices and 98[Note 4] amendments (out of 120[3] Constitution Amendment Bills). Besides the English version, there is an official Hindi translation. Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is widely regarded as the father of the Indian Constitution.
The Constitution follows parliamentary system of government and the executive is directly accountable to legislature. Article 74 provides that there shall be a Prime Minister of India as the head of government. It also states that there shall be a President of India and a Vice-President of India under Articles 52 and 63. Unlike the Prime Minister, the President largely performs ceremonial roles.
The Constitution of India is federal in nature. Each State and each Union territory of India have their own government. Analogues to President and Prime Minister, the Governor in case of States, Lieutenant Governor for Union territories and the Chief Minister. The 73rd and 74th Amendment Act also introduced the system of Panchayati Raj in rural areas and Municipality in urban areas. Also, Article 370 of the Constitution gives special status to the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
The Constitution was adopted by the India Constituent Assembly on 26 November 1949, and came into effect on 26 January 1950.[4] The date of 26 January was chosen to commemorate the Purna Swaraj declaration of independence of 1930. With its adoption, the Union of India officially became the modern and contemporary Republic of India and it replaced the Government of India Act 1935 as the country's fundamental governing document. To ensure constitutional autochthony, the framers of constitution inserted Article 395 in the constitution and by this Article the Indian Independence Act, 1947 was repealed.[5] The Constitution declares India to be a sovereign, socialist, secular, democratic republic, assuring its citizens of justice, equality, and liberty, and endeavors to promote fraternity among them.[6] The words "socialist" and "secular" were added to the definition in 1976 by constitutional amendment (mini constitution).[7] India celebrates the adoption of the constitution on 26 January each year as Republic Day.[8]
This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2014) |
The major portion of the Indian subcontinent was under British rule from 1857 to 1947. The impact of economic, political and social development during this period helped the gradual rise of the Indian independence movement to gain independence from foreign rule. The movement culminated in the formation of the Dominion of India on 15 August 1947, along with the Dominion of Pakistan. The Constitution of India was adopted on 26 November 1949 and came into effect on 26 January 1950, proclaiming India to be a sovereign, democratic republic.[9] It contained the founding principles of the law of the land which would govern India after its independence from British rule. On the day the constitution came into effect, India ceased to be a dominion of the British Crown. The Indian constitution is the world's longest constitution. At the time of commencement, the constitution had 395 articles in 22 parts and 8 schedules. It consists of almost 80,000 words and took 2 years 11 months and 18 days to build.
In the United Kingdom the office of the Secretary of State for India was the authority through whom Parliament exercised its rule (along with the Council of India), and established the office of Viceroy of India (along with an Executive Council in India, consisting of high officials of the British Government). The Indian Councils Act 1861 provided for a Legislative Council consisting of the members of the Executive council and non-official members. The Indian Councils Act 1892 established provincial legislatures and increased the powers of the Legislative Council. Although these Acts increased the representation of Indians in the government, their power still remained limited. The Indian Councils Act 1909 and the Government of India Act 1919 further expanded participation of Indians in the government.
Government of India Act 1935[edit]
The provisions of the Government of India Act 1935, though never implemented fully, had a great impact on the Constitution of India. Many key features of the constitution are directly taken from this Act. The federal structure of government, provincial autonomy, a bicameral central legislature consisting of a federal assembly and a Council of States and the separation of legislative powers between the centre and states are some of the provisions of the Act which are present in the Constitution of India.
The Cabinet Mission Plan[edit]
In 1946, British Prime Minister Clement Attlee formulated a cabinet mission to India to discuss and finalize plans for the transfer of power from the British Raj to Indian leadership as well as provide India with independence under Dominion status in the Commonwealth of Nations.[10][11] The Mission discussed the framework of the constitution and laid down in some detail the procedure to be followed by the constitution drafting body. Elections for the 296 seats assigned to the British Indian provinces were completed by August 1946. The Constituent Assembly of India first met and began work on 26 November 1946.
The mission consisted of Lord Pethick-Lawrence, the Secretary of State for India, Sir Stafford Cripps, President of the Board of Trade, and A. V. Alexander, the First Lord of the Admiralty. However, Lord Wavell, the Viceroy of India, did not participate.
Indian Independence Act 1947[edit]
The Indian Independence Act, passed by the British Parliament on 18 July 1947, divided British India into two new independent states, India and Pakistan, which were to be dominions under the Commonwealth of Nations until they had each finished drafting and enacted a new constitution. The Constituent Assembly was divided into two for the separate states, with each new Assembly having sovereign powers transferred to it for the respective dominion. The Act also terminated British suzerainty over the princely states, each of which was left to decide whether to accede to one or other of the new dominions or to continue as independent states in their own right. However, in most cases the states were so dependent on central institutions that they were widely expected to accede to a dominion.
When the Constitution of India came into force on 26 January 1950, it repealed the Indian Independence Act. India ceased to be a dominion of the British Crown and became a sovereign democratic republic. 26 November 1949 is also known as National Law Day.
Constituent Assembly[edit]
The Constitution was drafted by the Constituent Assembly, which was elected by the elected members of the provincial assemblies.[12] Dr B.R. Ambedkar, Sanjay Phakey, Jawaharlal Nehru, C. Rajagopalachari, Rajendra Prasad, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, Kanaiyalal Munshi, Purushottam Mavalankar, Sandipkumar Patel, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Shyama Prasad Mukherjee, Nalini Ranjan Ghosh, and Balwantrai Mehta were some important figures in the Assembly. There were more than 30 members of the scheduled classes. Frank Anthony represented the Anglo-Indian community, and the Parsis were represented by H. P. Modi. The Chairman of the Minorities Committee was Harendra Coomar Mookerjee, a distinguished Christian who represented all Christians other than Anglo-Indians. Ari Bahadur Gururng represented the Gorkha Community. Prominent jurists like Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer, Benegal Narsing Rau and K. M. Munshi, Ganesh Mavlankar were also members of the Assembly. Sarojini Naidu, Hansa Mehta, Durgabai Deshmukh, Rajkumari Amrit Kaur and Vijayalakshmi Pandit were important women members.
The first temporary 2-day president of the Constituent Assembly was Dr Sachidanand Sinha. Later, Rajendra Prasad was elected president of the Constituent Assembly.[12] The members of the Constituent Assembly met for the first time on 9 December 1946.[12]
On the 14 August 1947 meeting of the Assembly, a proposal for forming various committees was presented.[12] Such committees included a Committee on Fundamental Rights, the Union Powers Committee and Union Constitution Committee. On 29 August 1947, the Drafting Committee was appointed, with Dr B. R. Ambedkar as the Chairman along with six other members assisted by a constitutional advisor. These members were Pandit Govind Ballabh Pant Kanaiyalal Maneklal Munshi (K M Munshi, Ex- Home Minister, Bombay), Alladi Krishnaswamy Iyer (Ex- Advocate General, Madras State), N Gopalaswami Ayengar (Ex-Prime Minister, J&K and later member of Nehru Cabinet), B L Mitter (Ex-Advocate General, India), Md. Saadullah (Ex- Chief Minister of Assam, Muslim League member) and D P Khaitan (Scion of Khaitan Business family and a renowned lawyer). The constitutional advisor was Sir Benegal Narsing Rau (who became First Indian Judge in International Court of Justice, 1950–54). Later B L Mitter resigned and was replaced by Madhav Rao (Legal Advisor of Maharaja of Vadodara). Owing to death of D P Khaitan, T T Krishnamachari was chosen to be included in the drafting committee. A Draft Constitution was prepared by the committee and submitted to the Assembly on 4 November 1947. Draft constitution was debated and over 2000 amendments were moved over a period of two years. Finally on 26 Nov. 1949, the process was completed and Constituent assembly adopted the constitution. 284 members signed the document and the process of constitution making was complete.[13]
The Assembly met in sessions open to the public, for 166 days, spread over a period of 2 years, 11 months and 18 days before adopting the Constitution, the 308 members of the Assembly signed two copies of the document (one each in Hindi and English) on 24 January 1950. The original Constitution of India is hand-written with beautiful calligraphy, each page beautified and decorated by artists from Shantiniketan including Beohar Rammanohar Sinha and Nandalal Bose. Two days later, on 26 January 1950, the Constitution of India became the law of all the States and territories of India. Rs.1,00,00,000 was official estimate of expenditure on constituent assembly. The Constitution has undergone many amendments since its enactment.[14]
The Constitution, in its current form (September 2012), consists of a preamble, 25[Note 2] parts containing 448 [Note 1] articles, 12[Note 3] schedules, 5 appendices[15] and 98 amendments to date.[14]
The individual Articles of the Constitution are grouped together into the following Parts:
Schedules are lists in the Constitution that categorize and tabulate bureaucratic activity and policy of the Government.
- First Schedule (Articles 1 and 4)- This lists the states and territories of India, lists any changes to their borders and the laws used to make that change.
- Second Schedule (Articles 59(3), 65(3), 75(6), 97, 125, 148(3), 158(3), 164(5), 186 and 221)- – This lists the salaries of officials holding public office, judges, and Comptroller and Auditor General of India.
- Third Schedule (Articles 75(4), 99, 124(6), 148(2), 164(3), 188 and 219)—Forms of Oaths – This lists the oaths of offices for elected officials and judges.
- Fourth Schedule (Articles 4(1) and 80(2)) – This details the allocation of seats in the Rajya Sabha (the upper house of Parliament) per State or Union Territory.
- Fifth Schedule (Article 244(1)) – This provides for the administration and control of Scheduled Areas[Note 5] and Scheduled Tribes[Note 6] (areas and tribes needing special protection due to disadvantageous conditions).
- Sixth Schedule (Articles 244(2) and 275(1))— Provisions for the administration of tribal areas in Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, and Mizoram.
- Seventh Schedule (Article 246)—The union (central government), state, and concurrent lists of responsibilities.

- Eleventh Schedule (Article 243-D)—Panchayat Raj (rural local government).
- Twelfth Schedule (Article 243-W)—Municipalities (urban local government).
- Appendix I—The Constitution (Application to Jammu and Kashmir) Order, 1954.
- Appendix II— Re-statement, with reference to the present text of the Constitution, of the exceptions and modifications subject to which the Constitution applies to the State of Jammu and Kashmir.
- Appendix III—Extracts from the Constitution (Forty-fourth Amendment) Act, 1978.
- Appendix IV—The Constitution (Eighty-sixth Amendment) Act, 2002.
- Appendix V— The Constitution (Eighty-eighth Amendment) Act, 2003.
The process of re writing any part of the constitution is called amendment. Amendments to the Constitution are made by the Parliament, the procedure for which is laid out in Article 368. An amendment bill must be passed by both the Houses of the Parliament by a two-thirds majority and voting. In addition to this, certain amendments which pertain to the federal nature of the Constitution must be ratified by a majority of state legislatures.
As of September 2013[update] there have been 120[3] amendment bills presented in the Parliament, out of which 98 have been passed to become Amendment Acts.[27] Most of these amendments address issues dealt with by statute in other democracies. However, the Constitution is so specific in spelling out government powers that many of these issues must be addressed by constitutional amendment. As a result, the document is amended roughly twice a year.
In 2000 the National Commission to Review the Working of the Constitution (NCRWC) was set up to look into updating the constitution.[28]
The Supreme Court has ruled in Kesavananda Bharati v. State of Kerala case that not every constitutional amendment is permissible, the amendment must respect the "basic structure" of the constitution, which is immutable.
Adoptions from other constitutions[edit]
The architects of Indian constitution were most heavily influenced by the British model of parliamentary democracy. In addition, a number of principles were adopted from the Constitution of the United States of America, including the separation of powers among the major branches of government and the establishment of a supreme court. The principles adopted from Canada were federal government with strong centre and also distribution of powers between central government and state governments along with placing residuary powers with central government. [29] [30] From Ireland, directive principle of state policy was adopted. From Germany, the principle of suspension of fundamental rights during emergency was adopted. From Australia, the idea of having a Concurrent list of shared powers was used as well and some of the terminology was utilized for the preamble.[31]
Judicial review[edit]
Judicial review is adopted in the Constitution of India from judicial review in the United States (see[32]). In the Indian constitution, Judicial review is dealt with under Article 13. Judicial Review refers that the Constitution is the supreme power of the nation and all laws are under its supremacy. Article 13 states that:
- All pre-constitutional laws, if in part or completely in conflict with the Constitution, shall have all conflicting provisions deemed ineffective until an amendment to the Constitution ends the conflict. In such situation the provision of that law will again come into force, if it is compatible with the constitution as amended. This is called the Doctrine of Eclipse.[33]
- In a similar manner, laws made after adoption of the Constitution by the Constituent Assembly must be compatible with the constitution, otherwise the laws and amendments will be deemed to be void ab initio.
- In such situations, the Supreme Court or High Court interprets the laws to decide if they are in conformity with the Constitution. If such an interpretation is not possible because of inconsistency, and where a separation is possible, the provision that is inconsistent with constitution is considered to be void. In addition to article 13, articles 32, 226 and 227 provide a constitutional basis to judicial review in India.[34]

I had something that was bugging me. I am a new ham and am learning as fast as I can but I had a question about Echolink. I believe that its VoIP correct? If so than it requires an internet connection to use and you cannot use it offline. If the internet goes down than communication via Echolink goes down as well right?
Do we have nets on any of the HF frequencies? Do we practice on actual frequencies in case we need to remain in contact during an emergency?
I apologize in advance if this has been mentioned but after searching I did not find anything.

Lawmakers and community leaders rallied at Rev. Al Sharpton's National Action Network headquarters in Harlem Saturday in protest of the controversial deal putting Republicans in control of the State Senate, which they say is disenfranchising voters.
Earlier this week, a power-sharing arrangement between five breakaway Democrats and Republicans gave the GOP control of the Senate.
However, critics say the agreement disenfranchises voters who wanted Democrats in office, specifically minority New Yorkers, because of a lack of diversity among the new leadership.
Meanwhile, Senate Minority Leader John Sampson says he will step aside if a deal can be brokered to get his party back in control.
"I want to work from now to the time we go into session to get us back the majority," Sampson said. "And when we get back the majority, I will step down and not be a majority leader, understanding this is bigger than me."
"This ain't got nothing to do with race," Sharpton said. "This has nothing to do with partisan. This has to do with policy and promises made."
The five members of the Independent Democratic Conference and Senate Republicans said their agreement is only in the interest of having a productive legislature.

Record high-definition video with $499 Canon HV10 camcorder
I've mentioned before my love--no, lurve--for high-def camcorders. Here's your chance to grab one for just about the lowest price I've seen: Vanns.com and WilloughBys are both offering the Canon HV10 for $499 shipped. (Actually, it's $499.98 at Vanns, so budget accordingly.) These are factory-refurbished units that include a manufacturer's warranty (though neither site specifies the duration; I'd ask before ordering).
The tape-based Canon HV10 captures full 1080i video and 2.7-megapixel still photos. It's chock full of advanced features, including optical image stabilization, a 10x optical zoom, and lots of … Read more
