Global Agenda Council on New Growth Models 2012-2014
The challenge
Adapting growth models to achieve widely shared economic and social goals is of great concern and interest to a wide range of audiences – leaders in politics and policy, business, academia and civil society, and interested engaged citizens – across a full spectrum of countries and with diverse circumstances. The International Monetary Fund recently downgraded the global growth forecast for 2013. According to revised forecasts, economic output will expand by 3.6% in 2013, down from July estimates of 3.9%. Yet, important elements of growth in both developed and developing economies have become reasonably well understood as a result of experience and analysis. Among them are macroeconomic stability, a functioning market system with entry and exit mechanisms, incentive structures, sufficiently defined property rights to support private investment, integration in the global economy, high levels of public and private investment, and economic diversification.
What the Council is doing about it
The Global Agenda Council on New Growth Models seeks to advance the discussion on what adaptations are required to stimulate growth. The Council does not believe new growth models are needed – the "machine" does not need to be replaced. Rather, different "modes/settings" need to be identified for existing growth models. They include sustainability and balance sheets, various structural and policy constraints on growth, and a set of inclusiveness and distributional issues. The Council's goal is to suggest ways of thinking concisely and critically about defining and dealing with them through actions by individuals, governments, businesses, financial institutions, civil society organizations and education institutions.
The Council is preparing a policy paper for government and business leaders. Chapters will cover inclusivity/sustainability, institutional innovation, trade/fiscal/financing, an entrepreneurial ecosystem, measurement and human capital. During its first year, the Council also created six working groups that are actively engaged in advancing the discussion within each of these areas.
"According to revised forecasts, economic output will expand by 3.6% in 2013, down from July estimates of 3.9%. Yet, important elements of growth in both developed and developing economies have come to be reasonably well understood as a result of experience and analysis."
In the past year, several events fed into the preparation of the policy paper, including the Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2013 and the Summit on the Global Agenda 2013. The final paper will be presented at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2014 in Davos-Klosters.

A new logo for some University of California advertising and
documents is intended to be more modern and streamlined for the digital
age. But it is also proving to be controversial.
Some students and alumni have started an online petition to drop the
new and simpler logo, which is a solid "U" containing a "C" resting at
the bottom, in various color. They contend it "does not represent the
stature and honor of the University of California."

Sony Xperia family portrait shows off a few new phones
The shot above (which we've tweaked for clarity) isn't just a family portrait of Xperia phones: there are a few secrets in there, too. Xperia Blog points out that this is the first time we've seen the two devices highlighted by red arrows, and that they're both the same (we're inclined to agree). The blog also suggests that the phone to the far right of the middle row is the rumored Xperia Nypon and that the phone in the middle of the bottom row, which looks like the recently-announced Xperia S, is probably something new as well since the front-facing camera is on the wrong side. What we can see is that most (if not all) of these phones still have the Sony Ericsson branding on them. It's too bad whoever took this photo was in such a rush that he couldn't expose it properly, but if there's one thing for sure, it's that Sony's likely going to be bringing some new phones with it to MWC in Barcelona next month.

The product was fine..However when it arrived one tire was flat and valve stem from tube had disappeared inside wheel. I needed to use the product, so I had to remove the tube , replace it, and reassemble to be able to use it. I know your return policy is great, but in this instance returning was not an option--kind of aggravating!

I have already used the product. It performed very well.
I feel this item is dangerous and should be removed from the shelve, let me know what I should do
The wheels and tires on this dolly are a joke. The wheels are plastic and tires are not rated to capacity advertised. One tire was flat on reciept, and would not hold air. I pulled the tube out, it had a hole the size of a quarter. Not wanting to absorb cost of shipping and wait for another that was inadequate. I orderd two new flat free tires at a cost of $36.97. I'm not a happy camper!!
Typical Chinese crap! Missing hardware, holes misaligned, loose everywhere. Don't buy this! You don't even get what you pay for from Chinese slaves! I fixed all problems, and will live with it, but NEVER AGAIN.

CNHI Statehouse Bureau
INDIANAPOLIS — Glenda Ritz and Tony Bennett are both longtime educators, but how they see the sweeping changes in Indiana schools and classrooms couldn't be more different.
The Republican Bennett has spent the past four years as the state's superintendent of public instruction championing those changes.
They include GOP-backed legislation that expanded charter schools and created the nation's largest school voucher program, created a merit pay system that ties teacher pay and tenure to student performance, imposed more high-stakes testing for grade promotion and graduation and created an A-to-F evaluation system to grade the effectiveness of schools.
Running for his second term, Bennett lauds those changes as cutting-edge reforms that make Indiana the model for the nation. And he's called for even more.
"Why now would we want to slow down?" he asks.
The Democrat Ritz cites the very things Bennett hails as the reasons why she decided to run against him, with support from the state's teachers unions.
She objects to the major changes individually; for example, calling the new 3rd-grade reading assessment test both harmful and "heart-breaking" for students who fail it and risk being held back a grade. But she also sees the changes as a collective effort to undermine public education, set public teachers up for failure and lay the groundwork, she said, to "privatize schools."
"All this legislative action has gone through so quickly with no barriers, and no understanding of the awful consequences," Ritz said. "I really feel like teachers, kids, parents and communities have been caught in the middle of a political agenda."
Bennett and Ritz differ on substance, but also in style.
Ritz, 58, of Indianapolis has been a classroom teacher for 33 years. The mild-mannered mother of two thinks teachers have been left out of the process of education reform and demonized by reform advocates. She was a longtime Republican who left the party when Indiana Republican Gov. Mitch Daniels began pushing hard for the education changes that have been put into place.
Bennett, 51, from New Albany, has been a classroom teacher, school administrator, and basketball coach. He describes himself as competitive and impatient – and also misunderstood. He regrets he's been portrayed by opponents as someone who doesn't value teachers or public education.
"That's a caricature of me they drew, that I allowed them to draw," Bennett said. "Nothing could be further from the truth."
Ritz and Bennett also differ on how they'd spend the next four years, if elected.
Ritz believes Bennett and the state Department of Education, which he oversees, have overstepped with aggressive implementation of the education-reform legislation passed over the past four years.
If elected, she said, she'd do whatever she could to slow down the education overhaul and have the DOE work with every school district in the state on a comprehensive assessment of how schools and students have been impacted by all the changes.
"The policies out of the Statehouse have been one-size-fits-alls," Ritz said. "It's been: 'Here are the policies. Here are the mandates. Now get it done.'"
Bennett disagrees. He acknowledges that the state has set new standards for students' academic performance, teacher evaluations and other measures. "But how schools reach those standards are up to them," he said.
If re-elected, Bennett said, he'd oppose any effort to slow down implementation of the major reforms. "Lack of implementation is the death of reform," he said.
Another major difference is the size of their campaigns' war chest.
The latest campaign financial reports (released in mid-October) show Bennett's campaign has raised more than $1.3 million, with some of that money coming from big-ticket donors who've supported similar education changes like that going in Indiana. That includes $200,000 from Alice Walton, the daughter of Walmart founder Sam Walton, and $40,000 from New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg.
Ritz's campaign, in comparison, had raised less than $224,000, with much of that money coming from teachers' unions political action committees and from small individual donors.

Gold prices continued to slide at the domestic bullion market here today due to reduced offtake from stockists and retail investors as well as poor buying of jewellery.
In contrast, silver regained some lost ground from its overnight steep fall on speculative interest amid firm industrial support.
Standard gold (99.5 purity) moved down by Rs 30 to Rs 29,700 per 10 grams from Friday's closing level of Rs 29,730.
Pure gold (99.9 purity) also fell Rs 40 to Rs 29,840 per 10 grams from Rs 29,880.
Silver ready (.999 fineness), however rose Rs 310 per kg to Rs 53,605 against Rs 53,295 yesterday.
Meanwhile, gold climbed back above the psychologically important $1,600 per ounce level in overseas trade, snapping a three-day losing streak following stronger-than-expected US jobs data amid a weaker dollar.
Gold for August delivery gained by $18.60 to settle at $1,609.30 an ounce on the Comex division of NYMEX late yesterday and September silver contract gained 81 cents to $27.80 an ounce.

A family is pulling scraps from their home after a fire broke out Wednesday night in Underwood, Minnesota.
"Both of us got up at the same time, and just smelt smoke." Jason Johnson describes.
He sits in a small room in the Fergus Falls Comfort Inn with his family who he made sure got out of the house.
"I had no concern for myself, I had to make sure my family was out." Jason says.
All members and their pets made it out, but they lost all of their belongings.
"The situation right now is what we have in this room is what we have. And what we have has been donated to us." Jason says looking around the small hotel room.
Back at their home from the outside the damage looks small, but stepping indoors the walls and windows are painted black from smoke, toys and furniture are melted, and the floors are destroyed.
"It rips your life apart, and you have nothing left." Jason says as he walks through the rubbish.
Going up the stairs and to the left is 7 week old Emmah's room, where her father Dustin Anderson ran back into the house to get her. The family says they felt he was in there for a long time searching through the thick smoke.
"There was so much smoke, and it was just so black that he was disoriented from the smoke, it took him a couple minutes to get down." Jason says.
The family is thankful they are all together, but Jason now worries about getting his family back on their feet, especially for baby Emmah.
"We gotta find something to get a roof over our head again, and try to start over." Jason says shaking his head.
He's looking for help for his families future.

While you were fighting the icy roads, firefighters in Richmond had a similar problem.
Just after 5 p.m. crews were called to a fire at a home in the 7400 block of Rockfalls Drive.
It took firefighters 40 minutes to get the fire under control.
The homeowners were not inside, but three dogs were - a neighbor actually kicked in a door to bring them to safety.
Fire crews had to bring in a sand truck since the water hoses were icing the streets.
They also had to use kitty litter to de-ice the roads, since the home was at the bottom of a hill and fire and rescue trucks had to get back to the top.

With an interracial couple at its center, this production has been conceived with a black household and a white household. Does that racial divide add tension between the feuding families?
How does a contemporary setting benefit the story?
What's unique about your portrayal of Romeo?
29 Aug 2013
Photo by Robert Ascroft
OB: To me, the story is more about two lovers who aren't allowed to be together, so it doesn't matter if they're black, white, or whatever. When I first met with actresses for chemistry reads, I didn't just meet with black actresses. The whole race thing only evolved after Condola was cast.
OB: It's a great idea, because the play is timeless. It's like holding hands with the past. I told David, our director, "If Shakespeare wrote this for his youth generation, shouldn't we be on Broadway speaking to our youth generation in New York City?"
OB: First of all, this is my first Shakespeare play. I was in the midst of rehearsing Orsino in Twelfth Night at drama school when I broke my back, so I didn't get to perform it. I also haven't been overexposed to Romeo and Juliet. I read a few Romeo scenes for a Los Angeles Philharmonic concert series, and I saw the fantastic Baz Luhrmann film in the cinema like everyone else, but I didn't study the play at school and I've never seen it on stage. I think my unfamiliarity is a blessing, because I have a blank canvas on which to play and hopefully bring something different, interesting, and exciting.

What's unique about your portrayal of Romeo?
(This feature appears in the September 2013 issue of Playbill.)
Romeo and Juliet began previews Aug. 24 at the Richard Rodgers Theatre.
In addition to Bloom as Romeo and Rashad as Juliet, the cast also features Tony Award nominee Jayne Houdyshell (Follies, Dead Accounts) as the Nurse, Tony Award winner Brent Carver (Kiss of the Spider Woman, Parade) as Friar Laurence, Tony winner Chuck Cooper (The Life; Caroline, or Change) as Lord Capulet, Christian Camargo ("The Hurt Locker," "Twilight," All My Sons) as Mercutio, Justin Guarini (Women on the Verge, "American Idol") as Paris, Roslyn Ruff ( The Piano Lesson, "The Help") as Lady Capulet, Conrad Kemp ("The Girl") as Benvolio, Corey Hawkins as Tybalt and Geoffrey Owens as Prince Escalus.
This production marks the first time in 36 years that the play has been produced for Broadway. This version of the classic tale, according to press notes, "will retain Shakespeare's original language but have a modern setting in which members of the Montague family will be white, and the Capulet family will be black."

To ask Sally and Tony Sando politely to get a new doggy/kitty because hearing my dog howl at night because he's lonely makes me sad
Woody (my puppy) has suffered the loss of his 2 best friends in the past year, Angel (the cat) and Lula (his poodle pal). This is really sad for everybody! BUT Whats saddest is hearing the little tyke howl and cry downstairs because he's lonely and scared at night. I think everyone will agree with me that an animal should never be without a pal! So I think Sally and Tony should do the responsible thing and get Woody a friend, be it a fresh little baby animal, or a lovely rescue cutie. Sign this and I will give you a lollipop. YAY (I'm hoping they will see the humorous side of this and not get cross at me.)

---- — Hospital care
TO THE EDITOR: "Cheers" to Mel Freeman, who took care of me in a recent trip to the ER.
Your professionalism and bedside manner instantly assured me that I was in the best of hands.
You went above and beyond to make sure that I was well taken care of. And in what could have been a much worse situation, you were calm, never letting on that you, too, might have been nervous about how everything would play out.
Your easy-going, easy-to-talk-to manner also allowed me to relax and ask the questions I needed to ask as well as ask for the help I needed.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart. God bless you.
Working for all
TO THE EDITOR: Rachelle Armstrong is a candidate who will work for and with us in Ward 1 to build a future for our city.
As councilor, Rachelle will develop a Master Plan that guides our city's future. Responsible development is key to generating new revenue in the city. We need to protect the great quality of life here. Vision and planning are essential to fiscal responsibility. Short-sighted planning costs the city money.
Rachelle will find ways to grow our tax base and lower everyone's tax burden.
She will work with city department heads to eliminate inefficiencies.
She will explore ways to share services with the town and county.
We share this city. We need to share our concerns and ideas. Rachelle will listen to her constituents. Rachelle will hold Ward 1 forums and encourage other councilors to do the same.
Rachelle will actively listen to and work for us. She will be our representative, our voice.
Rachelle recognizes the importance of all community stakeholders; all will be fairly represented.
Rachelle will collaborate to solve problems; working together in a civil manner is productive and efficient.
Rachelle wants to grow a green future. This will help protect the greatest asset we share — a beautiful environment that belongs to all of us. We need to keep it that way, to nurture it and maintain access to it.
She will work to create new opportunities; this will result from careful planning, a green sensibility and a progressive economic outlook. We have to take advantage of our assets to create job growth.
Please vote for Rachelle for the Democratic Primary Election noon to 9 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 10.
Because of redistricting, the Old Base residents are new constituents in Ward 1. The new polling place is Pine Harbor on New Hampshire.
Puppies fundraiser
TO THE EDITOR: There was a bottle drive held Saturday, Aug. 10, in Peru at the corner of Route 22 and Bear Swamp Road.
This was a fundraiser for care of the puppies from Northern Puppies. It was to help with vet bills, food and whatever else they needed.
We had an overwhelming response from the people of the North Country. We raised $1,212, along with a big bag of dog food someone brought.
There are so many to thank that we can't name everybody individually. Thanks to WPTZ for televising our event to get people to come. Also, thanks to the North Country Amvets Post 87, who took in all the bottles (more than 13,000), and they were nice enough to give us 7 cents per bottle or can. And special thanks to our helpers who counted returnables and to our delivery guys who hauled them away.
It was a great turnout. Thank you, North Country.

Prenatal Appointments
When can I hear my baby's heartbeat in pregnancy?
You are probably looking forward to hearing your baby's heart beat in your prenatal appointments. How long will you have to wait?
What Happens at Prenatal Care Appointments
The doctor or midwife appointments that you have in pregnancy are called prenatal care. Each visit is an opportunity to assure that you and your baby are growing well and to answer any questions that you have. So what goes on in these appointments?
Prenatal Visits in the Third Trimester
How often will you schedule your prenatal appointments in the third trimester of pregnancy?
Prenatal Visits in the Second Trimester
How often should you see your doctor or midwife for appointments in the second trimester of pregnancy?
Prenatal Visits in the First Trimester
How often do you see your doctor or midwife in the first trimester?
Anatomy of a Prenatal Visit
This article focuses on what happens at each visit to the midwife or doctor. From ultrasounds and blood work to hearing your baby's heartbeat...
Prenatal Care
What you need to know about prenatal care.
10 Things You Might Find on Your Prenatal Chart
Have you ever looked at your medical records? Trying to decipher your medical records can be a harrowing task and it has nothing to do with your practitioner's handwriting.
Reasons You Are Not Hearing Baby's Heart Beat
Towards the end of the first trimester, you should be able to hear most babies' heart beats with a doppler. Here are some reasons why you may not hear your baby's heart beat then.
Were you dilated before labor?
Being dilated doesn't necessarily mean that you are in labor. Many women find that they are dilated in the last weeks of pregnancy. (Though not being dilated doesn't mean anything is wrong.) Did you find out that you were dilated before labor?
Did you have trouble gaining weight in pregnancy?
Most women complain about gaining too much weight in pregnancy, but some women do have trouble gaining weight while pregnant.

New Trailer for LEGO Harry Potter Video Game, Reviews Coming OnlineVideo Games
WB and TT Games let us know that a new trailer has been released online for the LEGO Harry Potter: Years 1 -4 video game. This launch trailer, which contains looks at all four years of the game, can be found right here in our Video Galleries.
Unlike Star Wars, Batman or Indiana Jones, Harry's adventures don't take him around the world, across a city or to other planets. Pretty much everything that happens to him happens in Hogwarts. Rather than allow this restriction to hold things back, TT Games has instead turned it to the game's advantage.
You no longer retreat to a hub area and dip into key set-pieces one by one. Instead, Hogwarts is a gigantic, continuous gameplay area full of living detail. When it's Christmas in the story, everyone wears Santa hats. When the Dementors arrive, looking for Sirius Black, students huddle in corners, terrified. When Gilderoy Lockhart arrives at the school, gaggles of cooing girls follow him around. It's lovely and hilarious.

I understand why some of you straight-haired folk out there who wonder why this is even a topic of conversation.
SEE: (UN)just Hair: Can we be fit and fashionable at the same time?
What you take for granted (or maybe even wish would show a little 'bend' of its own!), many people work hard to replicate. This is a lifestyle story, but it is also a public health issue and a question of fairness. People trying to keep their curly hair straight because it is considered more professional, attractive, etc., cannot take a lunchtime cardio class because it could take over an hour of hair-work afterwards to restore the style, if it could even be done without professional help. And even if you have a hairdresser in your pocket, your hair would fall right off if it was subjected to serious heat restyling after every workout!
So who decides sleek styles are better? Long, straight hair is sexy? That curls are for children and not professionals? Maybe the influence comes from the industry making billions off our addiction to the salons and products. Even straight haired people can't easily achieve the standard of beauty put forth in the images we are constantly bombarded with, but people with textured hair spend an average of 3 times more on their hair. African Americans are by far the biggest investors in haircare products, tools and services. Can we or should we broaden our definition of 'good looking'? How would we do that?
I am certainly not an expert, but I have received more questions about my hair in my 30+ years on television that any other single subject. I've often thought we have an obsession with hair. It is the precious substance of the original crown!
While a few people have called for the First Lady to role model an exercise friendly hair style every now and then, it is not a judgement against her if she doesn't. HOW you wear your hair is strictly a matter of personal preference. Hopefully it won't be the reason WHY we don't exercise regularly.
While working on this story, I heard a lot of interesting strategies for getting sweaty without destroying your hair. They do not all involve wearing your hair in a more natural style. in weave because you can use all the heat you need to after working out! This only works, according to the pros, if you use the best hair, the correct removal techniques and give your natural hair a break from the weave for a few weeks every 3 months or so. This is a very expensive route, with a top-notch, full sew-in of high quality hair costing upwards of a thousand dollars. A similar, but far less expensive trick is to just pop on a good wig after your work out. Whatever keeps you moving while preserving the health of your hair and scalp is a winner!
If you would consider changing your hairstyle (at least occasionally) to something that can withstand a good sweat -- something that takes advantage of your natural curls, there are lots of new ideas out there. Just "wash and go" is not something most of us are ready for. As one sister put it on the Fox 32 Facebook page, "I bet she (me) ain't gonna go nappy and be happy"! Actually, my hair won't go "nappy" anymore. I had a nice thick 'fro as a teen, but all the years of straightening it and just plain ole old age has seen the texture go from medium-tight to medium-loose on the curly scale.
So, there is usually some "doing" even if you're wearing your 'natural' curls. I have had the Strawlers set done at Aje's Salon (and done by my daughter at home with regular old drinking straws) and it was a serious process which took several hours. (see photo) The advantage is that a little sweat will not turn you into Don King, in fact the style looked better after I worked out and loosened up the curl a bit. I also spent very little time on daily maintenance after the initial styling. The style I got for this report is much simpler -- closer to a 'natural'. Jessie Besic at Salon Blonde has been dying to get me natural for years! A good wash and conditioning was followed by Kevin Murphy curl enhancing products which she combed through to distribute evenly. Then she just started scrunching with her whole hand (kinda heavy handed down to the scalp, actually!). As the hair got more dry, she used product and focused on individual chunks to twist into more defined corkscrews, while creating the overall shape. Finally, she put me under a big hair drier which didn't blow hard (at home you would use a diffuser on your blow dryer). After the dryer, she separated the corkscrew chunks into smaller pieces and pulled some down onto my forehead on one side only as she patted and pulled the whole thing into the desired shape. This all took about 45 minutes ... but I worked out that same afternoon and so did the hair!
Here's a great website with a zillion curly styles. And there is an entire curly community out in cyberspace! Who knew? One of the biggest names in all things curly happens to be based right here in Chicago. Check out Afrobella.com for great advice on products and styles.
And, if you Google "curly", the first thing to come up is "Curly Nikki" -- check out this cyber queen of the NATURALISTA movement.
One of the most difficult decisions for many Black women to make is to grow out of a chemical relaxer. I'm sure not saying you have to do that, but if you are considering it, you should take advantage of all the advice and experience of those who took the leap before you!
Good luck with your ALL GOOD hair!

Item was in very good shape. I am pleased.

I ordered two... both were in very poor condition. The clasps were bent out of shape and weren't clasped prior to shipment because they didn't work. The units were not sealable and didn't have an air tight water tight seal. This is what I was seeking when purchasing them. The description was "Used"... Had the proper condition as described above put into the description... I would never had ordered them. Second of all, I hope I don't get charged for shipping on these items.

Mary Childers became Dartmouth College's Ombudsperson in 2007. She brings to the position extensive experience in resolving conflict and helping employees adjust to changes in the workplace. Her familiarity with Dartmouth began when she taught in the English Department and in Women's and Gender Studies before becoming Director of the Women's Resource Center and then Director of Equal Opportunity and Affirmative Action.
To reach Mary, you may send an email to email@example.com or call her at 603-646-9872. Please be aware that email is not appropriate for confidential communications and that communication with the Ombuds Office does not constitute notice to the College about the existence of a problem. The Office, in the Church of Christ on campus (often referred to as the White church), is centrally located and convenient for most employees. But if you need to meet off site because of your work location or worries about confidentiality, Mary will try to accommodate your preferences.
Remember: Many problems are easier to resolve if you address them early on and do not let frustration or misunderstanding build. Sometimes just a fifteen minute conversation with a neutral party can help you get unstuck.

New details in a weekend homicide investigation. A Tucson News Now viewer has led police to a key piece of evidence.
Police say 59-year-old George Martinez turned up dead Saturday night in his home near Tucson Boulevard and 22nd Street.
A small memorial sits outside the home where a man was killed. Meanwhile, there are new developments after a Fox 11 viewer spotted the victim's SUV a couple miles away.
The alert viewer noticed the Ford Explorer parked near her home, so she called Tucson Police and they towed it to a tow yard for evidence.
The SUV belonged to Martinez who was killed inside his home this weekend. Police say the Martinez' roommate found him unconscious with signs of trauma. But, it didn't look like anyone had broken in.
We talked to some neighbors Monday afternoon. One man who didn't want to go on camera says Martinez had problems with some tenants about 6 months ago but they had since moved out.
Other neighbors describe Martinez as a quiet man, who kept to himself and loved to work on cars.
"My heart goes out to him. It's a shame," said Paul Johnston, who lives a few doors down. "It's a pretty quiet neighborhood and it's amazing I didn't hear anything."
Sgt. Chris Widmer of the Tucson Police Dept. said, "We don't know if it's anyone known to this victim. Speaking with residents, this guy lived a fairly quiet, normal life. So, we still have a lot of unanswered questions we're trying to fill in."
Police do not know if this was a random act. The killer is still on the run. Anyone with information is asked to call 9-1-1 or 88-crime.

Following the reports from earlier in the day that Bruce Weber would replace the departed Frank Martin as the head men's basketball coach for the Kansas State Wildcats, the University officially announced Weber as their new coach. Athletic director John Currie introduced Weber on Saturday afternoon. Weber spent nine years as the head coach at Illinois before he was fired at the conclusion of the season, and was unsurprisingly happy to find new employment at a major conference program.
"I could not be more excited about the opportunity that has presented itself here at K-State. I'm happy to come to a place that has great tradition. When I've talked with people over the last couple of weeks, the main thing they emphasize to me - my mentors and peers -- that I just don't take any job. So I'm very fortunate to take a job where there is already something built."
Currie is banking on Weber's early record at Illinois being more indicative of his coaching abilities than his recent record, and like most athletic directors, pointed to the fact that his hire was made on the basis of both basketball and character.
"Coach Weber's success as a head coach speaks for itself, which includes eight trips to the NCAA Tournament and a national championship game appearance in 2005. But what impresses me even more about Coach Weber are his core values and belief in the advancement of his players not only on the court but also as model student-athletes and citizens "
Weber has a 313-155 record in his career as a head coach, including 11 NCAA Tournament wins. Weber has been to one Final Four and three Sweet Sixteens, including one while he was the head coach at Southern Illinois. He signed a 5-year contract worth $1.5 million in his first year at K-State, and he will receive raises of $100,000 each year.

Nag Panchami, a.k.a., Naga or Nagula Panchami, is a Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of snakes and serpent deities. It is observed across India and Nepal on the fifth day of the bright fortnight of the lunar month of Shravan during the monsoon season. It celebrates the victory of Lord Krishna over the mythical Kaliya, a monstrous black python that was killed by Krishna in the Yamuna river. This year Nag Panchami falls on August 11, 2013.
Nine serpent deities are worshiped on the auspicious Nag Panchami day. Elaborate rituals in the form of 'puja' are held in temples and temporary altars in the honor of snake gods - Ananta, Vasuki, Padmanabha, Sesha, Kambala, Shankhapala, Dhruthrashtra, Takshaka and Kaliya - the nine prominent snake gods. In many parts of Eastern India Nag Panchami is dedicated to the serpent goddess, Manasa.
In Bengal and Bangladesh, the Manasa worship is a month-long affair spanning July and August. Devotees pay obeisance to goddess Manasa and perform various 'pujas' or rituals to appease her. Special 'murtis' or statues of the goddess are sculpted, various sacrifices made, and prayers chanted. In some places, worshippers are seen to pierce their bodies, poisonous snakes are displayed on the altar, and live shows depicting the life and legends of Manasa Devi are performed.

good wishes and may the Lord shower blessings on all the devotees on this auspicious festival.
- July 18, 2012 at 3:24 am(4) Rama Rao K says:
Nag Panchami may be a festival for the devout, but mostly fatal for the 'minds-its-own-business' snake. I observed that women folk across India pour milk into the anthills as offering to the snake gods little realizing that snakes do not drink milk. In fact, most of the anthills are empty and in case a snake does reside, it's likely to drown rather than drink the offerings! Worse, snake charmers catch hold the hundreds of snakes, defang them in a most cruel way for the devout to worship. A nasty, primitive custom. Need to change this practice. Cruelty towards any living being in the name of god is condemnable.

it should be corrrect :
//It celebrates the victory of Lord Krishna over the mythical Kaliya, a monstrous black python that was killed by Krishna in the Yamuna river.//
Sir i salute you to serve hinduism . this is my effort to make updation.
1> In mahabharat shree krishna did not kill kaliya nag. but order him to go in patallok.
2> 14 serpents dieties are there and one strotra presents this 14 nag name who ruled & exist in 14 loka.
3.> mostly no one people prays nagpanchami with memories you mentioned but they pray as them "bhumi devta" with diffrent name : "khsetrapal,nagdev,gogamaharaj etc." and this not only reserved for nagpanchmi.
4.> yogi has discovered this element as "kundalini sakti" and this yet to be discover that how this "nag" is associate to every devta specially lord mahadev and lord vishnu.
5.>in mahabharat when bhim poisoned and accidently goes to patal or river bottom. "vasuki nag give him 1000 elephant strength" as vasuki nag is metarnal uncle of bhim. you know that kunti have used durvasha rushi's mantra to control devta. and his all children blessed by different devta in this chain vasuki nag is metarnal uncle of bhim but how is to be discovered.
6> same blessing from nag given to another chitraketu human for 1000 nag strength.
7> all commonly knows kashyap rushi has 2 wifes but kashyap rushi has 13 wife (Aditi, Diti, Kadru, Danu, Arishta, Surasa, Surabhi, Vinata, Tamra, Krodhavaśā, Ida, Khasa and Muniall) daughthers of daksha parajapti. diti-danav;aditi-dev/aaditya; "kadru-Nag". so inittially dev danav and nag are in existance as divine super than human.
8.> samudra manthan vasuki nag role is important and only option to world for dev and danav.
May be many books burn nd distroyed by mughal/angej so related details book might be lost but need to be research.
Hope to hear from you soon. plz correect me if anything needs evidence or justify.
Thanks & Regards,
Raj Buranpuri.

May 31, 1889. A flood of epic proportion rolled through Johnstown, PA, when a dam failed and released 20 million tons of water (4.8 billion US gallons), killing more than 2,200 people and causing $17 million in damage. This cataclysmic event takes center stage in the world premiere of Rebecca Gilman's new play, A True History of the Johnstown Flood, running at Chicago's Goodman Theatre from March 31 to April 18, with direction by Robert Falls.
Scenic designer Walt Spangler was faced with the challenge of creating a flood on stage and not just once, but in two different manners. "In the first act, you see the flood in 1889 as it happens, and then you see it again through the eyes of a 19th-century audience in the second act," he explains. To create the flood on stage in the first act, he used an overhead sprinkler system that emits a soft mist, with the addition of lighting and fans to create the effects of a turbulent storm. The actors try to escape to higher ground on a muddy slope (not real mud, but really wet and slippery, and a challenge for the actors, Spangler notes), giving the set a sense of reality. "This act is all about pulling the audience into the emotional state of the flood," he says.
In Gilman's second act, the deluge is reenacted theatrically. "You really see the spectacle of it," says Spangler, who turned to 19th-century theatre techniques to create this version of the inundation, using layers of spinning set pieces with many layers of paint to evoke the roiling waters, with people, animals, and trees floating by. "The set pieces are vertical, like giant spinning pinwheels," Spangler adds, noting that all the elements were built and painted in the Goodman's shops. "This second version of the flood is more about having the audience looking at it; it's all about the visual and a way to return to old theatre techniques and see how to use them now. There are no projections, but this is the most painted scenery I have ever designed for a show." Additional visual effects include the Pullman car of a train derailed and up-ended on stage and then finally swept away.
In fact, the actors are playing a family of 19th-century actors who are caught in the flood and find their entire world turned upside down. We see them in three plays-within-the-play, each with its own set, including a Southern plantation and a Mexican hacienda, created using 19th-century-style drops with painted perspective. "These drops are intentionally fragile, like the lives of the actors in the plays," says Spangler, who enjoyed the chance to return to the techniques of the past to help fool the eye of a modern audience.
