Shimazu Hidetaka is the very definition of a broken man — the events of five years ago have left him with a broken family, a broken mind, and a broken spirit.
And to add icing to the cake, he's pretty much broke. But a proposal from his saviour makes him decide to put the pieces of his life back together.
Little did he know that he'd also start putting together a much larger jigsaw puzzle: one of Hopes and Dreams, lies and deceit, and the remnants of a long-forgotten era.

School tax rates are lower this year for residents living within the borders of the Lebanon Community School Corporation, Business Manager Charles Tait shared with the school board and the public at Tuesday's meeting.
The tax rate went down eight cents this year. The total tax rate for 2013 is $.97 per $100 of assessed valuation, down from $1.05 last year.
"This is very good news for our taxpayers — the school corporation is in great financial shape," Tait said. "It is very favorable."
Part of this good news is due to the increase in the city's assessed valuation, such as the value of homes, businesses and farm properties within the corporation limits. That allows the corporation to raise the same dollar amount with a lower tax rate.
"That clearly has a positive impact," said LCSC Superintendent Dr. Robert Taylor. "Because of our fortunate location on the interstate and between Lafayette and Indianapolis, it appears Lebanon has a nice draw to businesses that will continue to allow us to have the lowest tax rate I have ever experienced ... ."

Today's weather forecast: August Gloom
We've got a case of double vision when it comes to two current candidates for city office. Kevin James is running for mayor, but he's not the same Kevin James who film audiences would recognize as a zookeeper or mall cop. Jeffrey Bornstein, a candidate for city controller we interviewed earlier this month, has a name twin, too.
While the politician's campaign posters are plastered throughout L.A., he's not the only well-known Bornstein in town. Entertainer Jeff Bornstein headlines a comedy show with his mind-reading wife. To be clear, that Jeff Bornstein is not running for office. But if he were, here's how he'd answer our STUMPED column questions.
On background: Bornstein has an "extensive" political background, in that it extends from third to fourth grade. His tenure as class treasurer was not without controversy. Funds were appropriated for the purchase of some off-budget chocolate chip cookies, and when this came to light he was impeached. He never ran for office again, but did pursue public service work; he volunteered to be in charge of "quality control" for his school's annual bake sale.
Current platform: The comedian says a strong platform is essential, "especially in the subway where you might fall onto the tracks." Once, he wore a pair of platform shoes, and after tumbling off a curb he gained newfound respect for the heights women go to impress.
Campaign slogan:"It doesn't take a mind reader, but I know one!"
In his/her corner: Jeff has been endorsed by every member of his family, except his sister because he pulled her hair once when he was ten.
I called to ask my big brother about this, but he declined to comment fearing I was really calling to ask his help with moving some furniture on a Saturday. I believe public service is an honor. That, and I do what my wife tells me to do.
My wife trusts me completely with our finances, but then she's a mind reader, so she knows where every dime goes even if I don't tell her. The good news is she lets me buy all the chocolate chip cookies I want. Now, if I could just figure out where she keeps hiding them...

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Federal workers are feeling the government shutdown more than anyone. Most are off work and losing money each day.
Nike Bies makes the commute every day from Sylvania to Ann Arbor for his job at the National Vehicle Fuel Emissions Laboratory. He does hands-on emissions testing on every kind of vehicle sold in the U.S., but because the lab is run by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Bies has been furloughed.
"My direct management has no idea [how long the furlough will last]," Bies said.
The time off is no vacation. Bies has to worry about paying the bills, and says there's no guarantee he'll get paid for these days off.
"I'm actually helping a friend out," he said. "He owns a small business in Michigan. I'm just kind of helping him out a little bit, but other than that, that's about it…I feel like I'm kind of held hostage. I don't know what to do, exactly."
Bies says he can apply for unemployment if the shutdown drags on, but he'll have to rely on his savings account to pay his bills now.
He says he has a message for Congress:
"I would just like to see them work together. Put the individual agendas aside and work together for the country."
Bies is also worried the auto industry will suffer. Since his lab can't test emissions, he thinks production lines could end up getting shut down.

The Deal: Deal Volume Hits Three-Year Low
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Deal volumes for the third quarter sank to their lowest levels in three years as a lack of corporate confidence on the economic outlook continues to erode M&A appetite.
There were just 2,235 deal announced in the third quarter, the worst since the same period in 2009, according to Dealogic, as uncertainty caused by the government shutdown, an end to Federal Reserve stimulus and a raft of new capital and regulatory requirements bite.
For the year to September, deal volumes were down 18% on last year, to 7346, while overall deal value jumped 45%, to $861 billion, due to the return of mega-deals such as Verizon Communications Inc.'s $130 billion acquisition from Vodafone Group plc of the 45% stake of Verizon Wireless that it doesn't already own.
RBC Capital Markets Corp.'s head of U.S. M&A Vito Sperduto said the government shutdown and debt ceiling debate were two major issues impacting corporate confidence."Over the next two to three weeks, my biggest concern is the stability of the U.S. economy," he said. "Once we get past that threat, there's a solid [M&A] pipeline and we could see a pick up in the first half of next year." Sperduto noted that the volume in the third quarter was driven by the Verizon Wireless buyout and if the $130 billion transaction was not included it would be unlikely that overall volume in 2013 would reach the roughly $1 trillion in deal volume it did the past two years. Other dealmakers say poor confidence since the credit crisis means a sufficiently long period of stronger economic growth will be needed to prompt a sustained pick-up in M&A. "After 4-to-5 years of a challenging economy a fatigue factor has permeated the mindset of many [dealmakers] and any bit of uncertainty is magnified," deputy chairman of Loeb & Loeb LLP David Schaefer said. He compared this to the backdrop of optimism before the credit crisis, noting several large events -- the Bear Stearns bailout, the collapse of Lehman Brothers and massive losses by investment banks -- were needed to dent confidence and trigger a tailspin in markets. Others speak of a focus on strategic rather than opportunistic deals, with the latter more pervasive in a backdrop of greater risk appetite.

A move to put baseball vendors back to work at Turner Field stalled at City Hall on Tuesday.The vendors have been benched since the beginning of the year because of a legal battle.Even though a majority of the City Council members tried to put the vendors back on the job on Tuesday, city lawyers said the legislation would not accomplish that goal."It would be a policy position, but it wouldn't have the force of law," said Atlanta City Councilmember Michael Bond.Vendor Larry Miller said that he's lost about 80 percent of his normal revenue this season as he's tried to work from private space.The vendors will return to Superior Court on Thursday in hopes of being able to work out a resolution that will put them back to work.
A fifth arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a 13-year-old in his own bedroom on Sunday.

Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.
Check out what's happening north of Mongolia these days, in Chita
Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.

Our sources have heard the following whispers from around the AFC West:
• The Raiders' young receiving corps gained experience and matured in 2010, but one team observer said the team would benefit from adding an older veteran to the mix at the position. There is speculation that WR Chad Ochocinco, who had new Raiders head coach Hue Jackson as a position coach for three seasons (2004-06), could end up in Oakland if the Bengals decide to cut ties with him this offseason. Ochocinco is not on good terms with Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis, and Ochocinco has said nothing but good things about Jackson.
• With potential defensive coordinator Jim Mora pulling his name out of the running, we hear the Broncos' next target for their defensive coordinator position could be Packers defensive line coach Mike Trgovac. He worked with Fox from 2002-08 in Carolina and was promoted from DL coach to defensive coordinator after just one season. Fox has already shown loyalty to assistant coaches from the previous regime by retaining Mike McCoy as his offensive coordinator and might like the idea of bringing in a coach who has experience working with the defensive line, particularly since that was always a position of strength for the Panthers.
• The Chiefs' decision to promote Mark Donovan to team president came as no surprise, we hear. When president Denny Thum stepped down in September, Donovan assumed most of his responsibilities, so it was only a matter of time before the new title became official. Donovan, who joined the club as chief operating officer in 2009 after spending six years in the Eagles' front office, will be in charge of the team's business operations.
• For the first time, the Chargers have lowered prices on season tickets for 2011, likely because of their sagging attendance in 2010. Even though they were coming off a season in which they won a division title, the Bolts had three home games blacked out this past year. According to reports, the team is lowering the cost of 6,500 seats about 15 percent while leaving the price of the rest of the season tickets the same in the hope that attendance will rebound next season.

\nThe Enviro nmental Footprint of War
Scarred Lands and Wounded Lives is a compelling documentary exploring the under-reporte d environmental impacts of war and preparations for war. The film confront s the immensely broad ecological and human ramifications of everything fro m technological development and natural resource exhaustion to weapons tes ting and modern warfare itself.\n
Ecosystems around the world are in distress from forces of humanity's own making: increasing population\, un sustainable demands on natural resources\, habitat and species loss\, and climate change. One of the most destructive of human behaviors – war – is not commonly included as a contributor to the growing global environmental crisis.\n
Yet\, in all its stages\, from the production of weapons through combat\, military operations pollute land\, air\, and water\, dest roy entire ecosystems\, and drain limited natural resources.\n
Using archival material from the Civil War through more recent wars\, along wit h expert testimony and eyewitness accounts\, the film clearly presents the environmental and human cost of combat\, and argues for public scrutiny o f the ecological and human impact of war as essential to a more sustainabl e – and secure – world.\n

Patriots fantasy focus
In this week's fantasy focus, we take a look at some of the Patriots who have disappointed since the Randy Moss trade, and which players are a safe bet for this week's game against the Vikings.
Patriots-Chargers matchup of the day: Wednesday
Here's a matchup to watch in the Week Seven game between the Patriots and Chargers:
They said it: Patriots edition
Here are what some of the Patriots' players and head coach Bill Belichick had to say following their 38-30 Week Three victory over the Bills.
Woodhead could be Patriots new third-down back
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick and director of player personel Nick Caserio hinted on Tuesday that newly acquired RB-WR Danny Woodhead could replace injured RB Kevin Faulk as the team's new third-down back.
Report: Patriots sign former Jets WR-RB Woodhead
PFW correspondent and Boston Herald writer Ian Rapoport is reporting the Patriots have signed former Jets WR-RB Danny Woodhead, just a day before the two teams meet in the New Meadowlands Stadium.
Jets sign WR Clowney, cut RB Woodhead
WR David Clowney has returned to the Jets, who also waived RB Danny Woodhead on Tuesday.
‹‹ previous 1 2 3 next ››
The San Diego Chargers have agreed to a two-year contract with former New England Patriots running back Danny Woodhead.||||||| Woodhead is expected to complement Ryan Mathews, who's been plagued with injuries and a fumbling problem. Woodhead was New England's second-leading rusher with 301 yards and four touchdowns on 76 carries while catching 40 passes for 446 yards and three scores.
Woodhead is active for the New England Patriots in the AFC championship game against the Baltimore Ravens.||||||| He missed most of the Patriots' 41-28 playoff win over Houston last week. Woodhead hurt his left thumb carrying the ball on the Patriots' first offensive play.
Woodhead went out in the first quarter of Sunday's playoff game against the Texans, leaving after the first play with a thumb injury.||||||| Stevan Ridley and Shane Vereen are expected to carry the load in the Patriots' backfield the rest of the way.
Woodhead rushed for a career-high 93 yards on 13 carries and scored his sixth career touchdown in a 34-3 rout of Buffalo on Sunday.||||||| Woodhead has proved another spectacular find for the Patriots. He has 528 rushing yards and 34 receptions for 379 yards.
Woodhead had four catches for 104 yards and two carries for 11 yards in Monday night's 45-3 rout of Rex Ryan's Jets.||||||| Woodhead used to play for the Jets, but no longer does. "This is where I am. I'm a New England Patriot," Woodhead added. "Was I over there? Yeah. But that's not something I dwell on because I'm a New England Patriot, and I'm going to do my best for this team."

The Herald Bulletin
---- — I know you all are tired of hearing how overwhelming things are right now for shelters and humane societies. Trust me, I am tired of living it and writing about it. I'd much rather write about my wonderful feline Oliver.
But I'm afraid if I don't keep our community's pet overpopulation problem in the forefront of your minds you will not think about it — or pretend it doesn't exist simply because it is so overwhelming. And sad. We have to admit that it is there before we can change it. So here goes..
Since July 2 we have taken another 90 animals into our already overwhelmed shelter. The volunteers and myself are running animals all over town in order to avoid euthanizing simply because the shelter is full.
They are going to Devonshire Veterinary Clinic who has so generously given us two kennels to board our dogs free of charge. As well as Northwood who allowed us to board two shelter dogs over the weekend free of charge. Thanks to both clinics for this act of kindness. And don't forget the Correctional Industrial Facility who gave us five more spots for cats as well as five more spots for dogs which the inmates will care for. And don't forget the members of our community who have stepped up to foster and adopt. Here are a few pieces of good news:
Willow, the beautiful blue Pit who was dumped in our play yard at night in the middle of a thunderstorm, has gone to wonderful foster care. The Rottie who was given up because the owners said they couldn't show their house and sell it because the dog was there has found a wonderful home.
Three cats went to live with the inmates in prison.
Sammi Joe, the retriever mix who was adopted, returned, stayed at Devonshire, went to prison and didn't like prison, and then back to Devonshire, was adopted to a family who fell in love with him.
Nick, the brindle pit bull who was terrified in the shelter, went to a loving safe foster home.
Sugar, the sweet shy little lab mix, went home with one of our very best fosters.
Evie from the cat sanctuary was adopted.
Lots of dogs have been returned to owners.
As stressful and sad as it is to watch all these animals come into our shelter we have to look higher and stay focused on the good that is happening. We are blessed with people who are asking what they can do to help — asking what we need. Donations are coming and making all the difference in this overwhelming time. The offers of help and the supplies raise our spirits and let the staff and volunteers at the Animal Protection League know that we are not alone and they our efforts are appreciated.
Thank you all for that.
I believe that how a society treats its animals is a reflection of who we are; morally, spiritually and ethically. It is a barometer of our compassion and our humanity. How we treat animals matter — each and everyone.

Binocular recommendation?
Posted 09 April 2012 - 12:37 AM
Obviously I'm not expecting incredible optics because my budget is <$200. I'd like to ask you all if you have any comments on these binoculars or recommendations for another pair of similar price.
Thanks in advance!
Posted 09 April 2012 - 10:53 PM
I have their 20x80 Skymasters, and I can't even buy a dew heater for what those binoculars cost. And they have a "No Fault Lifetime Warranty" - on fully coated optics! They're stunning - I even use them for the tough far-off birds.
I ordered a set of 10x50 Porro-prisms to loan out, because they're stupid-inexpensive, and people are always borrowing my optics. http://www.celestron...0x50-porro.html
For me, I ordered a set of their 8x42 "Nature" series. For around a hundred dollars, they're BaK4 prisms, full multi-coated, and nitrogen-purged (waterproof/fogproof).
[Full Disclosure: Celestron has, in the past, compensated me for astrophotography-related stuff. I've been a customer for 30 years or more across their line. I'd be partial to them regardless]

I'd stay away from anything under $100. A lot of that stuff is junk.
Posted 09 April 2012 - 11:30 PM
I prefer the contrast of the Celestron Nature to the Nikon Action Zoom (for about the same money) - but that may just be a function of the zoom for me with the additional optics path.

Posted 10 April 2012 - 12:00 AM
Except for the big name brands, from my research I've found that most binoculars between >$100 have BaK4 prisms and are full multi-coated, nitrogen-purged, waterproof and fogproof. For example, the pair I linked in the OP have all these specs.
The 8x42 "Nature" series you linked looks really intriguing. Do you have any experience with similarly priced items of other brands that are known to have great bang for your buck? (The reason I asked is because the brand I mentioned in the OP, Eagle Optics, was reviewed very similarly by a friend).

Okay, thanks so much for the advice Jodie! It's very much appreciated. I think I'll do exactly what you recommend.
They've been around awhile. Other than taking both of them outside on a winter's day - no. My only reason would be brand recognition. I'd probably buy both, take both pairs out, then return the pair I liked least.

Since you're short on winter days, probably, if you can get a partial overcast it'll be ideal. Take them out, focus on a handful of thin branches a few hundred feet out. The ideal would be a really bright white sky with a dark branch in front of it. Pay attention to the edges of the branch and see if you can detect [probably] purple or [maybe] green or blue fringing. That's CA (Chromatic Aberration). All optics exhibit some, but the coatings are there to reduce it as much as possible. Then in bright light, look for a really high contrast situation and see if the colors are true and "pop". Do those not just in the center of the optics, but see out on the edges where they start to distort.
Another thing to look for is if you focus on something say 50-75ft away - how deep and how close do objects appear in focus without changing the point of focus? Depth of Field.
Finally, of course, is build quality and how the controls feel to you, and super-importantly, how relaxed your eyes feel in the eye-relief. Deeper is almost always better - unless you wear glasses.
Since they both only have one-eye diopter correction, you'll want to focus with your left eye and then close it and alter the diopter until your right feels sharp. Open your eye and, if you must, split the difference with the coarse focus again.
Of course, look around for other test recommendations too! Lots of good optics websites out there!

MADISON (WKOW) -- Add a bit of nutrition and beauty to your patio, deck, or balcony with a pot of strawberries.
Melinda Myers says the runners, flowers and fruit of June or spring bearing, as well as day-neutral strawberries, make for an attractive hanging basket. She says to set the plastic pot inside a decorative container.
You can also use a traditional strawberry pot. Melinda says to consider growing ever bearing plants that produce several harvests and no runners.
To make a traditional strawberry pot, place soil on the bottom of the container. Then set a couple of perforated PVC down through the planter. As you water, the water travels through the pipe and out the holes providing moisture to all plants from top to bottom.
Slide the plants through the hole from the inside of the pot. Fill the remaining space with soil. Gently tamp and water thoroughly to eliminate air pockets.

Richard Lu, a 2012 graduate of Lafayette High School in Wildwood, is one of two Rockwood School District graduates to earn the State AP Scholar Award through the College Board. Only three students in Missouri achieved this milestone.
Additionally, only 108 students nationwide received this award, which is based on their outstanding performance on the 2012 Advanced Placement exams, according to a Rockwood announcement. This award is granted to the top students that score a 3 or higher on the greatest number of AP exams, and then the highest average score of at least 3.5 on all AP exams taken.
"This is a significant accomplishment for these students, their teachers and their families," said Rockwood Superintendent Bruce Borchers in the announcement. "It represents an enormous amount of time, energy and effort on their behalf as they successfully pursued Advanced Placement coursework."
According to school records, Lu is attending Princeton University.
In 2012, more than 1,900 Rockwood students took more than 3,990 AP exams. Collectively, Rockwood students earned a score of 3 or higher on 89.6 percent of all AP exams taken in 2012. These results exceed the state average of 65.4 percent and the global average of 61.5 percent.
The State AP Scholar Award is one of several given by the College Board recognizing high school students who have demonstrated college-level achievement throughout AP courses and exams.
The other Rockwood student to receive this accomplishment is Ravali Gummi, a Marquette High School graduate. She is a pre-med major at the University of Missouri, Kansas City.

Phoenix, D-backs lead charge to hit the books
PHOENIX -- The City of Phoenix and the Arizona Diamondbacks are teaming up on a program called Read On Phoenix that asks parents and kids to read 100,000 books by the end of July.
Not individually but collectively. Arizona Diamondbacks President and CEO Derrick Hall said literacy is an issue here -- 25 percent of fourth-graders can't read proficiently. The program's goal is to have every third-grader reading up to speed.
"Kids not reading well at the third-grade level is an indicator that they won't go on and be successful in schools," Hall said.

The Milwaukee Brewers were in the National League Championship Series just a couple of months ago. Ah, the good times. Since then, one of their best hitters left (or will leave) as a free agent, and the other one is involved in some sort of banned-substances brouhaha.
But the Brewers didn't just sit still, feeling sorry for themselves -- they reportedly signed third baseman Aramis Ramirez to a three-year contract. ESPN Chicago has the scoop:
Former Chicago Cubs third baseman Aramis Ramirez will sign a three-year contract with the Milwaukee Brewers, pending a physical, according to a source familiar with the situation.
While it would have been impossible for the Brewers to replace Prince Fielder on this year's market, Aramis has been one of the more consistent right-handed hitters in baseball, putting up an OPS+ between 126 and 138 in seven of the last eight seasons. Ramirez hit .306/.361/.510 last season for the Cubs.
That's the good news. The bad news is that the 34-year-old Ramirez is also a little injury prone, having missed upwards of 30 games in two of the last three seasons. But with the twin moves of Ramirez and Alex Gonzalez, the Brewers have dramatically upgraded the left side of their infield.
As of now, either Mat Gamel or Casey McGehee would appear to be the de facto starting first baseman, with the recently signed Travis Ishikawa providing a little depth.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) - The Michigan House has approved a bill to create a new system to oversee the delivery of legal representation to low-income defendants.
The measure approved Thursday on a 71-36 vote would implement recommendations of Gov. Rick Snyder's commission on indigent defense. The bill now goes to the state Senate.
Michigan's decentralized approach to the appointment of lawyers for people who can't afford them has drawn wide criticism because of its unevenness and inadequacy.
House Bill 5804 would create a 14-member Michigan Indigent Defense Commission to oversee the appointment and monitor the performance of lawyers who represent low-income defendants.
Michigan Campaign for Justice director Marcela Westrate says the vote "is a major step forward" in reforming a system that has sent people to prison for years for crimes they didn't commit.

Pakistani Agent of Fear Sends Chill Down Defence Ministry Spine
By Yatish Yadav
Published: 02nd Mar 2014 07:52:22 AM
Away from the glittering glory of medals won in battle and blood, the spit and polish of boots on parade and the intimidating bulks of battle tanks roaring at night during military exercises on the Western border lies a murky darkness inhabited by shadowy, traitorous figures that live by treachery and subterfuge.
On February 23, a traitor was unmasked when Indian investigators swooped on the house where Inderpal Singh Kushwaha, just retired from the Army, lived. They found enough proof to be convinced that Kushwaha worked for Pakistan's spy agency, the Inter Service Intelligence (ISI). The raid on his Cariappa Marg residence in the leafy, deceptively somnolent Jhansi Cantt yielded deployment details of Indian Army's Arjun tank regiments, CDs with classified information on war games, classified minutes of the meetings involving senior army officers, a copy of a confidential battle presentation by the Gorkha regiment, annual confidential reports of Army officers and more. A top intelligence officer said that the 51-year-old mole had been shipping top military secrets to his ISI handler Sikander in Pakistan for the last 7-8 years. Kushwaha had codenamed Sikander 'Major Anil.'
The fact that the spy served for nearly a decade as the personal assistant to many senior army officers in sensitive posts is sending shivers down the spine of the Defence Ministry. As the story unfolds, the extent of damage the traitor has caused India's defence preparedness is being ascertained. It is going to be a long haul. And the haul was big enough to strike fear in the security establishment. Kushwaha who retired as a subedar in October, 2013, had used his position to gain access to secret files, according to Army Intelligence sources. ATS sleuths also recovered CDs containing secret coded communications downloaded from the army's intranet server. Some of the seized documents date as far back to 2005-2006, suggesting that the damage done is extensive. Kushwaha's last posting was as Personal Assistant to the Brigadier of 31 Artillery brigade in Jhansi, a specialised unit dedicated to provide heavy weapons support during war. Kushwaha had been posted at various places including Kota, Jaipur and Siliguri.
"What is shocking is the recovery from his possession of ultra sensitive minutes of senior army officials meetings and specific details of tank deployments. So far four banks accounts in his name in ICICI, PNB and SBI have been unearthed and a team of officials are already examining the transactions," the source said.
Investigators feel that further interrogation of the ISI mole would throw up more links. They suggest he may not be operating alone. "Although over 30 ISI modules have been neutralised in the past three years, the documents recovered from Kushwaha reveals that he was the biggest ISI mole who had access to top secret documents," he added.
Last year, Home Ministry official Surendra Sharma working in the Office of Foreigners Division was arrested after Counter-Intelligence unit of Army and the Intelligence Bureau busted the 'Pokhran ISI spy ring' in Rajasthan. Sharma was allegedly supplying classified information to ISI operative Sumer Khan. The Home Ministry estimates that security agencies have arrested at least 48 ISI spies including 10 Pakistani agents and 38 Indians in the last three years. Of the 38 Indian moles, 10 were government officials, including two ex-servicemen, three serving personnel and three civilians.
For long, the guardians of national security has been battling the demons of deceit—spies recruited and trained by ISI whose sole aim is to destabilize India. At a time the Armed Forces have been plunged into a self destructive crisis with personal duels erupting between senior commanders, political buccaneers filibusting hierarchies and lives sacrificed by defective equipment, Khushwaha's arrest could have consequences for the Army's morale.

Marcia Wallace ¢ the Emmy Award-winning actress who played Carol Kester on ōThe Bob Newhart Showö and voiced fourth-grade teacher Edna Krabappel on ōThe Simpsonsö ¢ died Friday. She was 70.Ā
Like Wallace herself, Krabappel (krah-BA-pull) was a woman whoÆd been kicked around in life and made the best of it.
ōI love Edna,ö Wallace told The Oakland Press in 2006 prior to an appearance at the Motor City Comicon in Novi. ō(æThe SimpsonsÆ is) great job security ¢ BartÆll never be out of the fourth grade.
ōBetween æBob NewhartÆ and æThe Simpsons,Æ IÆm lucky to part of such great classic TV. If I was 30 years younger, IÆd get lucky every day because twenty-something fans love (æThe SimpsonsÆ). It went from controversial to mainstream because this family cares truly about each other.öĀ
Wallace had become gravely ill, although her exact cause of death was not revealed, Entertainment Weekly reports. Her colleagues responded quickly to news of WallaceÆs death.
ōI was tremendously saddened to learn this morning of the passing of the brilliant and gracious Marcia Wallace,ö Farmington Hills native Al Jean, show-runner and executive producer of ōThe Simpsons,ö said in a statement. ōShe was beloved by all at æThe SimpsonsÆ and we intend to retire her irreplaceable character.ö
Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, stated on Twitter: ōCheers to the hilarious, kind, fab Marcia Wallace, who has taken her leave of us. Heaven is now a much funnier place b/c of you, Marcia.ö
At the beginning of this month, Jean announced that the writers of ōThe Simpsonsö will be killing off a major supporting character sometime next year, during the showÆs 26th season. In the wake of WallaceÆs death, Jean dispelled any speculation that it was Edna. Ā
ōEarlier we had discussed a potential storyline in which a character passed away. This was not MarciaÆs Edna Krabappel. MarciaÆs passing is unrelated and ¢ again ¢ a terrible loss for all who had the pleasure of knowing her,ö Jean said.
WallaceÆs sense of humor covered a troubled background. In 2004, she published an autobiography, ōDon't Look Back, We're Not Going That Way,ö subtitled ōHow I Overcame a Rocky Childhood, a Nervous Breakdown, Breast Cancer, Widowhood, Fat, Fire & Menopausal Motherhood and Still Managed to Count My Lucky Chickens.ö
Born to Arthur and Joann Wallace ¢ both abusive alcoholics ¢ in Creston, Iowa, Wallace was the eldest of three. She was raped at age 14 and told her mother about it, but it was covered up because her mother knew the assailantÆs wife. Wallace also battled obesity.Ā
Originally, Wallace wanted to be a journalist, but a teacher suggested she go into drama. She earned her undergraduate degree in English and theater in 1969 from the now-defunct Parsons College in Fairfield, Iowa. The afternoon she graduated, Wallace moved to New York City with $148.Ā
Her first professional job was in a summer stock production of ōThe Music Man.ö To make ends meet, she typed scripts and worked as a substitute teacher. Losing 100 pounds, she starred in a nude production of ōDark of the Moon.ö She joined the Off-Broadway improv comedy group, ōThe Fourth Wall,ö and appeared in more than 60 commercials.Ā
Wallace was a semi-regular on ōThe Merv Griffin Show,ö which led to her being cast as Carol, the sarcastic secretary who served as a foil to NewhartÆs psychiatrist character on ōBob Newhart.ö The role was written specifically for her.Ā
Despite her success, her co-stars had families, while she was still single ¢ something that bothered her. She had a nervous breakdown and received professional help at the UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute in Los Angeles.
When she was 43, Wallace met hotelier Dennis Hawley, whom she married in 1986. However, the day before her wedding, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She became a staunch activist for survivors of the disease. In 1988, the couple adopted a son, Michael. Later, Hawley was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer and died in 1992.
Michael and her work on ōThe Simpsons,ö which earned her an Emmy, sustained Wallace. She starred in 177 episodes of ōThe Simpsonsö as BartÆs teacher, Edna Krabappel, a somewhat promiscuous, cynical, middle-aged, divorced woman who often made inappropriate comments in class, reflected a sour attitude toward men and smoked in the classroom. She was known for her acerbic ōHA!ö
Steven Piziks, a West Bloomfield Township science-fiction novelist and ōSimpsonsö fan, called Wallace one of the ōgreat comedic actresses television has ever seen.ö
ōThe death of Marcia Wallace was an unexpected blow,ö said Piziks, who noted WallaceÆs reprisal of her ōBob Newhartö role on a 1994 episode of ōMurphy Brown,ö which earned her an Emmy nomination.
ōWallace played every teacher, good and bad, that all of us ever had. Her character, Mrs. Krabappel, was ground down by an uncaring school system, but she still cared about her students, and we got to see her outside the classroom, where she struggled to pay her bills and dealt with falling in love. Bart was forced to see her as a human being instead of just a teacher ¢ as were we ¢ and we loved her.ö
Despite all the pain and hardship she endured, Wallace was not bitter, but made peace with her past and forgave those who wronged her.
ō(With) forgiveness, you do it for yourself, not for them; you canÆt have any bitterness in your heart because it holds you back,ö she told The Oakland Press. ōI want all the healing energy I can get from both the good times and the bad.
ōLaughter is the only wall between us and the dark. If we couldnÆt find humor ¢ even dark humor ¢ weÆd all be under the covers.ö

This method can save any FrameworkElement. Typically I use it to save a whole page, but you can pass any other element to it.Code:public static void SaveToMediaLibrary( FrameworkElement element, string title) { try { var bmp = new WriteableBitmap(element, null); var ms = new MemoryStream(); bmp.SaveJpeg( ms, (int)element.ActualWidth, (int)element.ActualHeight, 0, 100); ms.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin); var lib = new MediaLibrary(); var filePath = string.Format(title + ".jpg"); lib.SavePicture(filePath, ms); MessageBox.Show( "Saved in your media library!", "Done", MessageBoxButton.OK); } catch { MessageBox.Show( "There was an error. Please disconnect your phone from the computer before saving.", "Cannot save", MessageBoxButton.OK); } }
On line 7, we create a new WriteableBitmap. This excellent class can render a visual tree into a bitmap. Note that for even more features, you can use the great WriteableBitmapEx class library (which is open source).
On lines 9 to 16, we save the WriteableBitmap to a MemoryStream. The only format supported by default is JPEG, however it is possible to convert to other formats with the ImageTools library (also open source).
Lines 18 to 20 save the picture to the Windows Phone device's media library.
thanks. but the code don't work on the emulator
oh man, it didnt worked for me too.... lemme try it again..
Any fix to the given method or other solution for taking screenshot on the device. Thank you
You can use WritableBitmap Class to capture the screen..
pls refer this link...
Erm,... I supossing that you want to capture the screen from the codebehind, don't you? Because if the topic is:
"how to capture screen on windows phone" you can use the additional tools of the Emulator
If not , WrittableBitMap is the solution yes.

Love in the Time of Tech
For as long as I can remember, I have been my wife's technology manservant. Utterly useless when it comes to apparatus used for home repair or chores, I've always been in charge of all the "higher devices" -- anything described with "mega" or "giga."
It has also been my fault if these devices don't work, even if the real blame belongs to the manufacturer -- or to Diane herself for "panic pushing." That's when she pushes one button and when it doesn't do what she thought it would do -- or doesn't do it fast enough -- she pushes other buttons, and eventually all the buttons. And then she's surprised that she has just ordered her computer to destroy every file she has ever created and then to blow up her printer. She has wrought similar havoc on her cell phone, our TV, and the microwave (which, with the proper sequence of buttons, can actually be a weapon of semi-mass destruction). Each time, my fault.
So far she has spared our new digital camera, but only because she's afraid to touch it at all until she has had time to study the manual and learn how to work it.
I believe only Stephen Hawking could grasp how much time that would really take.
To make matters worse, I -- like many of my fellow husbands -- now service not only my wife but also a large extended family of impatient "low-tech ladies." Over the past couple of years I helped my mother, my mother-in-law, and my sister-in-law (along with her two daughters) buy computers, Internet service, digital cameras, and DVD players. I figured that if they all had the same models and service that I did, it would be easier for me to help whenever asked.
I'm now handling so much family tech support that I may have to outsource myself to India. In the middle of all this, Diane decided she wanted to switch from a PC, which is what we've used for 20 years, to a Mac, which she heard was more "user friendly." Needless to say, we have yet to meet any of these befriended users. And even after taking a college course on how to do graphics on a Mac, she still prints out every page she creates along the way in fear the machine will eat her work.
There was a time when being the technology manservant was actually kind of sweet. I recall somewhat wistfully those early days of marriage -- and of high tech -- when Diane would call for me from her home office with a computer problem. I'd come bounding into her room, stand behind her and reach her keyboard by putting my arms around her -- the same way guys used to teach their gals how to golf. Then I'd fix the problem with a keystroke or two and feel very manly, very modern.
As I kept coming to Diane's tech rescue, I did wonder why an otherwise-contemporary couple took on such traditional gender roles only with these gadgets. I worried this was because of something I was doing -- was I deliberately trying to keep my wife barefoot and unable to work the spellchecker? Or was she, and other wives, suffering from some kind of "compu-rella complex," where they actually preferred to be repeatedly saved? Either way, I assumed the need for my techno-chivalry would be short-lived, that as soon as these machines became more commonly used and easier to run, I would never again find Diane weeping at her monitor.
Today I know better. While I certainly know many women who are digital whizzes, they are usually people who have to be to do their jobs. For most couples there is still a large tech gender gap, and it usually involves the husband being responsible for care and maintenance.
Why do these technologies push some primal marital button?
For advice and solace, I call my friend Tim, who has been my tech guru since floppy disks were actually floppy. What husbands never want to admit to their wives is that most of us really don't know all that much about these devices. We just know more than our wives do. And we all know a guy like Tim who doesn't mind occasionally serving as our technology manservant.
We're also not ashamed to call our Tims (as we are to ask for directions while driving). So I suspect we ask for advice sooner, and more frequently, than our wives would ever believe. I know Diane feels insulted when I suggest she ask me for advice earlier in the predictable cycle of giga-aggravation, or call tech support herself. She thinks I'm dissing her. I'm not. I'm just trying to convince her that we all need a Tim.
I have always been curious how my Tim, who brought compu-comfort to so many, handled the tech divide in his own marriage. Apparently, no better than me -- which I find comforting.
"Please," he says, "I just got off the phone trying to help my wife with her iPod, with little success." That's particularly dangerous since iPods are so much easier to throw on the floor and stomp on than computers are.
Tim says that while he has been the tech guy at the office for years, doing the same thing at home is a different story. "The worst part is that if something doesn't go exactly right, they look at you like you killed their puppy," he says, sighing.
I know that look well. And I doubt Diane would ever believe how hard it is when I fail as her high-tech manservant. This happens more and more now that she's on the Mac, a machine that sometimes makes me feel digitally impotent. As much as I enjoy being able to solve her tech problems -- the closest a guy like me will ever get to, say, being able to fix a car -- that's how much I hate choking in front of her.
Still, there are some technological joys in marriage. Diane has scanned a lot of her drawings and paintings from over the years, and for my birthday made me a book of the pieces most personal to us and our relationship, a gift made possible only by what she learned in her graphics class. And sometimes, out of nowhere, I'll receive a flirty little e-mail from her and I'll write a similarly flirty one back -- like we're back in high school passing notes to each other in the digital hallway. After a half dozen exchanges, I'll get one inviting me up to her office -- for some help with something that requires no devices at all.

PEORIA, Ill. -- The community continues to mourn the passing of Pete Vonachen.
He is remembered as a man who loved many things: Peoria, baseball and ice cream.
One local business owner offered the community a chance to cure their sweet tooth just as Pete did every Tuesday.
The Spotted Cow in Peoria gave away free floats. Owner Frank Abdnour says chocolate was Pete's favorite.
But he says the memories go beyond ice cream.
"Pete was always bugging me about why I wouldn't put something up with the Cubs, the Cubs or the Cubs and I said no, this a White Sox, I'm a White Sox fan," Abdnour said. "So he brought in a Chiefs logo autographed and did a great job on it. I said that's about as close as, we'll allow that."
"When you have a life as Pete led, so full, so complete, making so many contributions to others and all the while doing it with a smile, you can think of nothing but a celebration," said friend Rick Miller. "And I think what Frank is doing here today is a classic celebration of Pete's life."
Visitation for Pete Vonachen will be Thursday, June 13 from 3 to 9 p.m. at Northwoods Community Church, and again on Friday, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at St. Thomas Catholic Church in Peoria Heights.
Funeral services will follow at 1 p.m.

Kelsey Neal was just 14 when she went into cardiac arrest. Her dad saved her life by performing CPR - something he learned in high school. Now the family is trying to get all high schoolers CPR certified.
"Five years ago, I had a cardiac arrest," Neal said.
Remembering her near-death experience is still an emotional subject for the 19-year-old. But she shares her story in hopes of saving others.
"My mom called 911 while my dad was able to start CPR and he was able to perform CPR because he received that training while he was in high school," Neal said.
The Neal family - all CPR trained - are speaking up in support of LB 365. It would require all Nebraska high school students to complete an instructional program on basic first aid, CPR and use and an automated external defibrillator known as an AED. That training would be required to graduate.
15 states, including Iowa, require some sort of CPR training in the high school.
"If they don't learn it in high school, I guess I'm not sure how many people are gonna go out of their way to go out and do that. And I don't know what else you can do in life that is so simple really and yet has such a profound payoff; a profound reward," Kelsey's dad, Brett said.
The American Heart Association says every year 250,000 people die from cardiac arrest. CPR or use of an AED could save at least 20,000 of those lives, just like it did for the Wayne State freshman.
"I'm a survivor because of CPR and I just want to make people know that it's so simple and it's so effective and you can save many lives by it," Neal said.
There was no action taken on the bill Monday. As for Kelsey, she still doesn't know what caused her to go into cardiac arrest. She lives with an implanted cardiac defibrillator and says life is good.

Pole dancing has got to be the most offensive past time I can think of. No matter how toned down people try to make it. Almost as offensive as watching those credit card settlement commercials. I couldn't believe that someone out there actually thought they could make pole dancing tasteful by making it out to be a workout tool. My goodness, I almost laughed myself off of the couch. Are you kidding me? I thought it was actually fake at first. Nope, it was very real, get this, they will even ship it to your house and apparently you just set it up somewhere in your home, living room etc and off you go. What is coming next?
Signs Of Life
Lunch Break
Why does there have to be so many wacky things out there? Wacky scholarships….wacky names…..wacky jobs ….wacky faces
…..wacky, wacky, wacky….. I don't understand it. I was just surfing the internet during a lunch break today, trying to kill time and I saw this wacky stuff. I think an hour lunch break is wayyyy too long, although, I've had 30 minute lunches which don't seem long enough. You hardly have time to eat anything, by the time you go get your food, it's time to go back. Yet, having an hour, you can't find the time to kill, you get bored. That's how I found myself just searching the internet, killing time. Maybe on my next lunch, I should just take a nap.
Try and try again…
There are signs it's time to move on from a relationship, whether you want or not. You might be one of those firm believers who want to try again, but sometimes it is not worth. There are some signs that show it is time for both of you to move on from the relationship.
One partner doesn't want it to work- you are not the only one in the relation. So, you cannot expect to put all the efforts. Both of you must put in efforts to keep it alive. But when one of the partners is not willing, there is a strong sign that it is time to move on. I think I should have gotten a clue when I met this person on a weird scholarships forum?
You find yourself looking for someone else- this doesn't mean that you are drooling over other girls or guys. It simply means that you love to imagine yourself with another person. This is not a good sign of a healthy relationship and you know you must move on.
You have lost all interest- you don't feel connected and don't have the spark in you. Try to find out if there is a way to rekindle the lost spark. If you don't find it, it is a strong sign that you must move on from the relationship.
I am so very excited I could scream! I am going on a dolphin trip! I have always seen dolphins in the ocean, or on t.v. but I've never been close enough to touch one, let alone swim with one. I am finally taking a vacation, well deserved after my tough year at school. I'm not ungrateful though, I was able to get a scholarship through a no essay scholarships site. That was a blessing on its own not having to write an essay just to get a scholarship. I am going on my trip tomorrow and I am so excited. My sister and I are going and we'll hopefully make this a yearly trip. This is definitely a new experience for me.
I am so very bored right now with my studying, ugghh. I am digging my nose into my anatomy and physiology study guide, trying to stay focused, lol. So, in the middle of my boredom, here's what I found in a magazine. I saw a picture of a monkey dressed up in clothing! Wow…I'm not sure what else to say about that. I wonder how long it took to dress him up, ha! Is he even comfortable in the overalls he's wearing? Would he rather not wear anything at all? I really need to get my studying over with and get to the beach!
Have you noticed that you get more "afraid" of things as you get older? It's crazy, but true for some reason. I remember when I was younger, I didn't have any fear at all, I could pick up lizards without squirming, bait a hook when we'd go fishing, and skate at speeds that seemed like about 100 miles per hour! Nowadays…I don't think so….why is that? Just a thought that went through my head today as I go over my life. Maybe this is one of the mysteries I can learn when i'm in school. Yes, at my age, i'm going back! Why not? I'm looking into some scholarships for women over 40. Yep, that's my age, and proud of it! I'm hoping to overcome some of my fears and get back to my fearless self when I was younger!
Yoga Right
Welcome to my yoga clothing closet. Some of these yoga outfits were purchased at local flea markets while others were passed down from my mother and aunt. I love the free flowing look of yoga clothing and when combined with 60s and 70s music, I have a great combination. Today I'm sorting through the clothes to determine what I'll wear today since I'm headed to an outdoor book fair at the park and it will be close to 96 degrees.
I'm thinking about wearing my favorite blue and white Yoga maxi skirt with a white camisole, blue hoop earrings and two white bangles for the wrist along with my wooden flip flops. This is what I wore to my no essay scholarships meeting..lol
I'm really stumped because I also like this hot pink maxi dress with brown stripes in it. This dress is made of cotton so I'll feel cool in it, and I have some wooden earrings that go well with it. Well, I think I'll wear the blue skirt and white camisole today.
What I find interesting
Do you ever find it interesting that we are 99% the same as chimpanzees? 99% of our DNA is exactly the same as theirs. And yet when we stand next to them, all we can see are differences. Between humans there is even less of a differece. We are approximately 99.9% similar in everything. But look at the range of diferences that we go through. If we were being classified the way that we classify animals, based on visible characteristics, we could never call a person from Malaysia part of the same species as someone from Spain, or South Africa. But we are. 0.01% is not enough difference to constitute a different species. So why do we insist on fighting amongst ourselves like we are? Just because a persons race, religion, or creed is different than ours, we feel the need to segregate? We are more similar than we are different, and we need to remember that. In fact, I hope to be able to get scholarships for women over 40 so I can finally major in art like I have wanted to for many years
My Turtle and I.
Did you know that there is a eucalypt species called eucalyptus deglupta which have a coloured trunk? Looks like someone painted it with water-colour! Unluckily it can only be grown in tropical climates.
I've been interested in carnivorous plants too, but it's really hard to grown one, but who wouldn't like a plant that eats spiders? If my home had a bigger backyard i would make a garden full of unusual species. Well, apart from the naturalist part, my day was pretty normal. I spent a lot of time with my family and i finished my work about symbolist poetry – i really like Rimbaud. I did spend some time with my cat Tom too.
Oh yes, i almost forgot, i broke another cup today, but this time it almost hit my turtle's head. Maybe she could shrink her head just in time anyway. But i really should be more careful with these things, i broke 3 cups just this week! Later, I am going to see if I can get consolidation loans for people with bad credit. I think my turtle has better credit me than me! LOL
I must go now, see you tomorrow.
Bored and Jobless(for now)
Some of the youtubes I have been watching lately too!
I have been looking for work. This is a frustrating experience because I have some technological problems with the various websites I apply on. Every time I seem to be on the verge of getting a job it seems to disintegrate before my very eyes. This makes me depressed. Looking for work is one of my least favorite things to do. I have not had a regular job for awhile either so this makes looking for work frustrating. Fortunately, I do have some income coming in so, it is not as terrible as it could be, but I really need so much more. It bothers me that at my age I should probably be at the pinnacle of my career, and instead I am really nowhere. I think I may look for an online support group for job seekers maybe that will help me not feel so alone with this. Journaling is helpful as well. So , I decided to browse youtube..lol
Too Funny!
This is gonna be cool.
This is OK.
