Thousands of young men and women, mostly students, marched towards India Gate and Raisina Hills during the weekend to demand speedy justice in the case of heinous crime against the 23-year-old girl on a moving bus a week ago in Delhi.
The police had attempted to disperse the protesters on Saturday by using teargas shells and water cannons.
On Sunday they were asked to vacate the location by the police which said the area was under Section 144 of CrPC (Code of Criminal Procedure) which bans the assembly of four or more persons.
But that did not deter the bravehearts from their goal of asking for stringent punishment for the accused.
"All over the world it's the young who are the harbingers of change. 50 per cent of India under 25 years. Don't let energy dissipate. Become catalysts," actress Shabana Azmi posted on Twitter.
Actor Anupam Kher wrote, "India has great Future. Thanks to it's youth. You can't fool them. You can't frighten them. You can't suppress them. Jai Ho."
"Uprising of new generation India has achieved a mega victory. Now every police station in India knows rape can't be belittled. Government's closure of metro stations and bridges into Delhi, to prevent protesters assembling, is totally undemocratic," actor Kabir Bedi tweeted.
"Indian youth have proved they are not just demographic statistics in economic models. They are a potent and fiery political force of change," Shekhar Kapur tweeted.
Filmmaker Onir said, "Politicians should address the problem but leave the protests to peaceful students. Don't let the goons come in."
Filmmaker Shirish Kunder wrote, "The rapist got angry because the girl protested. The police got angry because the people protested. So where really is the difference?"
"Change is yours if you want it. Youthpower Delhigangrape," posted Lisa Ray.
TV actress Mandira Bedi posted, "It's a matter of pride that the youth have taken this stand and have let it take on such momentum. This protest will not let up easily. As it shouldn't."
Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra tweeted, "Lets vote carefully next time, not for a party, not for a caste, not for a religion, not for greed, and certainly not in fear."
Director Madhur Bhandarkar retweeted another user's words, "What is this democracy I'm living in? Can't protest online (Sec. 66A). Can't protest offline (Sec. 144)."

Where do you even begin right now trying to explain the New York Mets hitting woes if you are Manager Terry Collins or GM Sandy Alderson? You absolutely can't. There is no reason other than the Mets are a Triple-A club playing in MLB. The team just simply cannot hit, field or run the bases with any sort of major league presence. This has been an abhorrent second half which has now been magnified by losing four in a row to the hapless Colorado Rockies who came into New York with an even worse lineup and the worst pitching staff in baseball.
Collins and Alderson should be ashamed of themselves for even attempting to brighten the mood by mentioning the great pitching that we have seen of late, when the hitters have no power, are not patient at the plate, and frankly look as if they do not have a clue in the world. Up and down the lineup, whether you see David Wright, Andres Torres, Mike Baxter, Daniel Murphy or anyone else, it is disgraceful to have to sit and watch.
The Mets have now wasted three out of four quality starts from their pitching staff due to lack of production at the plate and errors. R.A. Dickey, Matt Harvey and today's rookie Collin McHugh all gave their team ample opportunity to score while pitching great. Even Chris Young went into the sixth with a perfect game until his error led to an explosion by the Rockies.
The Mets are now 12-30 since the All-Star break and only 4-12 at home which is horrendous considering the good first half they played. Now is not the time to sell the fans on the pitching staff and the future. Management needs to re-think the future and lay out some type of plan for the fans in order to sucker them into the seats in 2013. It is not acceptable to lose four in a row to a team that is as bad as the Rockies, who came to CitiField at 46-73, and with the Houston Astros looming, you can only hope that the Mets can salvage two out of three against another weak team. Embarrassing is the only way to describe the Mets, and as a fan, it is sad to hear that Collins will not tolerate quitting and that he holds the players accountable. Well, Collins, believe it or not, it is evident that this team has quit, and you better hope the fans don't follow.
Mets Notes: Collin McHugh today was the lone ranger as he pitched to a line that read: 7IP, 2 hits, 9SOs against one of the worst hitting teams in baseball. As with Harvey, it is tough to tell if it is a bright spot until he faces a more formidable lineup. But both pitchers looked good against the Rockies and will only build on this success.

Great Memory
So, now, the end of the tale. I took the newspaper clipping to my brother Mark who lives on the Tompkins place. It was a cold January day, much like today, but he said, "Do you want to see where that is?" and we took off across the field. I have had bad luck with cameras and memory cards over the past few years, but found that I hadn't lost all this morning when I stumbled across the file.
Please consider this a tribute to the generations of farmers of Johnson County, MO, you know who you are, the unsung heroes, the careful stewards of our precious resource, the fertile earth.

Gave me that baby doll lash look, kept them curled, volumized and long- a great mascara. Having tried low to high end mascaras, the most recent being Dior Show, so far after 3 weeks it's proved itself a winner. A little goes a long way, easy to apply too. Had a few black face crumbs today, not sure if I can attribute them to the mascara but will keep and eye for potential flakiness.
I love that Chanel has begun to release its new mascaras in three shades (at least) and I tried this in Burgundy. The results were incredible, immediately- long, thick lashes with pretty good definition (I combed through once more just to make sure). I got a black trial version and unfortunately, it flakes TERRIBLY on me. I finish the day with the same thick, long lashes but with a raccoon-effect under my eyes. I'm glad I didn't purchase this, but I'm sorry it didn't work out for me!
My new HG mascara! Thanks to the reviews here, I decided to try this when my L'oreal Million Lashes mascara ran out and I'm so glad I did! I have never used a mascara where I can get great volume and separation in just one coat - a really nice yet natural look. If I want a real dramatic falsies look then two coats. LOVE this!!

I received a sample...and fell in love. I recently raved about Benefits They're Real. And it will always have a place in my heart. But there reason I jumped ship so quickly and easily a is because I don't have to fight with removing Le Volume. With They're Real, beautiful lashes, but a pain to remove. I would dread it every time. It seems Chanel took that formula and made it easier. It breaks down without scrubbing your eyes till they are red. I really don't care about the price. I wish I was one to be able to use drugstore mascara, but by the end if the day my eyes are fire. The packaging is simple. I will say the Chanel logo on top is cute. Mascara for me is an essential item for that make up no make up look. That, a lil concealer and a pigmented lip color, you look amazing. All in all, I will not only repurchase but recommend to friends as well.

Finally - a mascara which goes on easily and lasts pretty much all day! I have oily/combination skin and also find that I react quite easily to cheap mascaras (resulting in lovely runny eyes for the day - gross!). I originally got a sample of this and loved it. It makes my lashes look long and pretty and doesn't clump easily. I am only gutted that it is so expensive!!

PLEASE NOTE - I own a trial sized sample version of this product!
I have always believed that you can get away with cheap mascara if your complexion is beautiful. I have only ever used drugstore mascaras; the Maybelline/Rimmel/Collection 2000/Soap + Glory types. My eyelashes are long, curled but almost white in colour. So for me, I want a dark, even colour that doesn't clump.
With this product I was pleasantly surprised! I am first to admit i'm not a mascara expert - i'm much more into foundations and skincare HOWEVER I used a sample of this and i'm really impressed. I was also pleased at the price as I thought it would be a good £8/9 more. The packaging is predictable yet classy and simple.
If you have straight/short lashes this is NOT the product for you in my opinion. This mascara clumps quite easily as it's so wet but as I desired colour not length I didn't find this a problem. I applied the base coat on naked lashes, waited a minute and then applied another layer to add a little volume to my lashes. Adding another layer made my lashes nearly reach my eyebrows! For me, this is a perfect product and I shall definitely be buying the full sized product. It's also worth noting that I had a tiny sample and it's lasted at least 8 applications which suggests the full sized one will last a long time too.
4 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I only own a sample of this product, but I got more than 10 uses out of it (and still using it), so I can afford giving an opinion.
I had issues with this product on humid weather. I am aware this is not a waterproof mascara, but I has other regular ones that did better at less than half a price. If it's a bit foggy outside, or rainy, or humid in any way, this mascara would transfer on my brow bone and under my eyes. So I can't really be convinced to buy a full size, since I don't like mascara all over my face (who does? but still, I have dark under eyes circles so it's very bad).
The good side: it looks great on my lashes when I apply it, it is light and not clumpy. I love the brush, it's a thick plastic brush: it gives both volume and length, defines and separates the lashes very nice. I can only say about how it looks that it's all I wish for mascara.
If you want to purchase: ask for a sample, or use it from tester (wipe the brush and everything...) and wear it for a while before purchasing full size. Just see how it lasts on you.
If this has a waterproof version, I would definitely but that instead.
Great mascara !!!!
The mascara itself is great. It lengthens like no other I tried and I have tried a few, volumizes and looks dark. However, the brush doesn't help. The formula is very wet and by the second coat it begins to clump and if you blink it's everywhere. It applies better with a regular bristle brush. For me, by the end of a work day, I had it under my eyes creating the look of dark circles especially in humid weather. And it's not as easy to remove. It does great things but with the right brush and weather. Definitely not for everyday or all day wear but more for nights out or special occasions since the effect is dramatic and great!

E*Trade Financial Corp. (ETFC) shareholders, in a nonbinding vote, approved last year's compensation for six top executives of the online brokerage, five of whom have departed.
At E*Trade's annual shareholder meeting in New York, the company said stockholders approved the proposal, known as a say-on-pay vote.
Last month, E*Trade said it awarded its former chief executive, Steven Freiberg, $10.7 million in compensation in 2012, including a severance payment.
In August, E*Trade fired Mr. Freiberg, a former Citigroup Inc. (C) banker, two years into his four-year contract. Nearly six months later, the company hired Paul Idzik, a former Barclays PLC (BCS, BARC.LN) chief operating officer, as its new chief executive. Mr. Idzik is E*Trade's seventh chief executive, counting interim heads, since late 2007.
Over that time frame, E*Trade has struggled to recover from bad bets made on the U.S. housing market and suffered heavy mortgage losses at its banking unit.
Mr. Idzik, who has reshaped E*Trade's management team since his arrival in late January, attended the meeting, though he didn't address the handful of shareholders there.
Since Mr. Idzik joined the company, E*Trade executives, including brokerage head Michael Curcio, Chief Operating Officer Gregory Framke, and Chief Marking Officer Nicholas Utton have all left E*Trade. Of the six named executive officers in E*Trade's proxy statement this year, only Chief Financial Officer Matt Audette is still an officer with the company.
The say-on-pay measure asked shareholders to approve the 2012 pay package outlined in the proxy. While the vote doesn't force a company to make any changes in its compensation, a rejection is often considered a harsh rebuke by a company's own investors.
In other matters, shareholders approved E*Trade's slate of director nominees to its board. The group, which now has nine directors, has become a revolving door over the past year. Former Chairman Frank Petrilli and Citadel LLC Founder and Chief Executive Kenneth Griffin were among those who decided not to stand for re-election, while E*Trade added James Lam, a former chief risk officer at Fidelity Investments, to the board last fall.
In March, Mr. Griffin's hedge fund and trading firm, which was E*Trade's largest shareholder, sold its entire 9.6% stake, or 27.4 million common shares, in the company, exiting an investment it made at the height of E*Trade's mortgage woes over five years ago.
E*Trade has said following the meeting, former Fidelity President Rodger Lawson will serve as its chairman, replacing Mr. Petrilli.
Shares of E*Trade recently traded up 1.1% at $11.01. The stock has climbed 23% year-to-date.

Lawmakers in Olympia are in the process of discussing a $10 billion transportation package that plays an important part of Washington's future, especially here in Spokane, but there's a catch.
Governor Jay Inslee called a special session this week to discuss adding tax breaks for aerospace company Boeing. The tax break is worth $9 billion and would ensure Boeing keeps production of the 777X in Washington State.
If it passes the transportation bill would include funding for Spokane's North/South Freeway, under construction since 2001. Last June a five-mile stretch opened between Highway 2, Highway 395 and north Spokane, but it's planned to continue for another five miles until it connects with Interstate 90.
There are three lawmakers from Spokane that are part of the Transportation Committee - Matt Shea, Andy Billig and Marcus Ricelli - who will be in Olympia this weekend to discuss the governor's proposal.
A vote on the Boeing tax break is scheduled for Saturday morning, and it's expected Governor Inslee will ask for a vote on the package before the end of the special session.

The Metro hater's guide to customizing Windows 8 Consumer Preview
Summary: If your daily work involves mostly Windows desktop apps, the default arrangement of icons isn't exactly conducive to productivity. The solution: Clear away the clutter and build a cleaner, more personal Start screen.
4 of 19Image
This is a good time to choose a different background color and pattern for the Start screen.
From the Start screen, press Windows key + I (that's a capital eye, not a lowercase ell) to open the Settings pane on the right. Click More PC settings at the bottom of the pane, then choose Personalize to display this set of options.
Choose a background color from the slider along the bottom and one of the size background patterns from the boxes above it. You don't need to do anything special to save your changes.
Tap the Start key to return to the Start screen.
When you install a new Windows desktop program, such as Microsoft Office, the installer adds your icons to the right side of the Start screen automatically. If you're setting up a new user account on a system where apps are already installed, you can add icons to Start manually by searching for them.
Tap the Start key to switch to the Start screen, and then begin typing to filter the list of available programs and apps, as shown here.
Right-click any program in the Search pane to display the app bar shown here. Because these are desktop programs, you have the option to pin them to the Start screen, or to the taskbar, or both. (The options for Metro style programs are more limited.)
Because you're going to spend much of your time in Windows 8 using the desktop, I recommend that you pin your most frequently used programs to the taskbar only. Avoid the temptation to clutter up the Start screen with desktop programs. You'll find it's much easier to simply click the Desktop tile and use your pinned taskbar icon to start or switch to the program you want to use.

Gary Rath's tenure as head baseball coach at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College has ended after five seasons.
Rath and the school's administration "mutually agreed to part ways," according to a release issued by the MGCCC athletic department on Tuesday. The Long Beach native and former Mississippi State and major-league pitcher won 126 games and reached the MACJC playoffs four times, but finished with a losing record this year.
"It's been a great run at Gulf Coast," Rath said. "I appreciate all the support from fans and the college, and I also appreciate the effort from my players."
Rath joined the MGCCC staff as an assistant in 2009 and became head coach the following year following the retirement of longtime coach Cooper Farris. His 2012 team finished second in the MACJC tournament, but his last two teams had increasingly poorer results.
The 2014 Bulldogs slipped to 20-21 and 10-14 in the MACJC South Division, failing to earn a postseason bid. MGCCC dean of athletics Ladd Taylor said the search for Rath's replacement will begin immediately.
"We mutually agreed that this was the best course of action," Taylor said. "We wish coach Rath all the best in his future endeavors."

Julia Mancuso was the top U.S. finisher in 11th place. Lindsey Vonn was in fourth after the super G but skied out on the slalom and did not finish. The result dropped her to fourth in the overall World Cup standings.

A small non-denominational church in Texas violated federal tax law by urging passers-by to vote for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, according to Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
Ray Miller, pastor of the Church in the Valley in Leakey, last week posted a message on the church's marquee that read: "Vote for the Mormon, not the Muslim! The capitalist, not the communist!"
Rev. Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United, said it was clear the message urged voters to support Romney and reject President Barack Obama. Some conservatives believe Obama is a Muslim, even though he has been a practicing Christian for many years. Gallup found last year that 18 percent of Republicans believed Obama was Muslim.
"Miller may indeed have strong feelings about the election, but that does not give him the right to use his tax-exempt church to endorse a candidate," Lynn said in a complaint to the IRS. "In fact, Miller's actions are, I believe, a clear and flagrant violation of the law."
The Johnson amendment in the Internal Revenue Code prohibits tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organizations, including churches, from intervening in political campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate.
Churches that violate the statute can have their tax-exempt status revoked, but are more likely to just receive a warning letter.
"Millions of Americans are aware that this church has openly violated the law, and many of them are asking what the IRS intends to do about it. Failure to act will only spur more houses of worship to ignore the law," Lynn added.

To keep a record of his involvement in this extraordinary and ambitious project, Nick wrote a Blog which was posted on the RSC website. This in turn became a massive success, regularly notching up 6,000 hits a week from avid followers around the world. Through Nick's engaging, observant, often hilarious words, we experience the camaraderie of actors, the terror of forgetting lines, technical difficulties, money problems, finding strange things in the bath, 33 broadsword fights and, and, of course, the ever-present threat of being assaulted by demented badgers after a performance.

Even my GeekDad head has been somewhat thwarted in getting my kids online with their DS. Because I didn't want to shell out for a Nintendo wireless dongle, already having Wi-Fi in the house, I had to grapple with various wireless security settings. The problem was trying to work out what encryption I could use on my wireless network and still connect Nintendo's console.
I was unimpressed with the DS and DS Lite's support of 802.11b WEP encryption -- not the most secure setup in the world. Then the DSi added WPA (AES/TKIP) and WPA2 (AES/TKIP) encryption to the existing WEP support. Excellent, I thought, now is the time to dive into the world on online DS gaming. The kids looked expectantly as I tapped away at the various settings. Continue reading
Old-school Nintendo fans have been agitating for a new Kid Icarus game for decades, but their pleas have fallen on deaf ears.
Or so they believed. As it turns out, at least one man was listening: Masahiro Sakurai, director of the Super Smash Bros. fighting games, which serve as a fun yet meticulous compendium of Nintendo trivia. Sakurai won accolades from fans for bringing back Pit, the teen-angel star of the classic Kid Icarus, as one of the popular series' characters. Continue reading
When Microsoft announced the "Slimline" Xbox 360 last month, it promised to deliver a smaller, sleeker, quieter, more capacious console. And it has.

A city is a complicated thing. With districts becoming neighborhoods, neighborhoods becoming streets, streets becoming homes, homes becoming rooms, and so on, there's a near-fractal level of every-increasing detail. So how do you build one in a videogame?
Grand Theft Auto has long been associated with the creation of realistic, living cities, with Liberty City in GTA IV arguably the peak of that art. Every corner is stuffed full of interesting things to see. But the problem with that approach is that it's very labour-intensive -- creating so much content by hand requires huge teams of designers, modellers and artists, and therefore you have to make compromises, like not allowing the player inside the majority of a city's buildings.

What's next for future games and, more importantly, how do developers make money out of them? Game Horizon, a two-day conference held in The Sage Gaeshead venue in Newcastle, offered plenty of ideas when I visited on its opening day.Ian Livingstone, who holds the slightly despotic title of Life President of Eidos Interactive, began the day pondering the government's recent decision to cut subsidies for games developers. There's no doubt it was a strange thing to do to a creative industry in which the UK is an international competitor. But Livingstone suggested that games developers should not be looking to the government for subsidies. Instead, they should offer George Osborne the chance to invest in a market worth £50 billion this year and predicted to hit £90 billion by 2015. Continue reading
Many people have memories tied up with old theme park attractions. Once a ride is closed, dismantled, and taken away, it's impossible to revisit it and bring back some of your childhood. Unless you're a modder by the name of Brerben, who's turned Walt Disney World's Adventurer's Club into a map for Half-life 2 in Garry's Mod.
The attraction, which closed in 2008, had live actors and animatronic robots voiced by actors behind the scenes. The recreation is based on three gigabytes of photos and audio recordings sent to Brerben by another user named Yodatc, who comprehensively captured every object in the exhibit before it was closed. He also used video recordings on YouTube and images on Flickr. Continue reading
I've hardly been a particularly huge fan of Transformers -- I've never owned any of the action figures and I've never seen the TV series. In fact, the only things related to Transformers that I've seen are the two Michael Bay movies -- and lets face it: they sucked.
Transformers: War for Cybertron continues the franchise's tradition of naming things after letters in the Greek alphabet and adding "tron", "con" and "gon" at the end of every word -- the idea behind the story of the game is to tell you how the war between the Autobots and the Decepticons started out.

One of the joys of being a dad is sharing your passions with your kids, but given how quickly technology ages, it's a lot tougher for GeekDad to wow his kids with his childhood loves than it is for say MusicDad or MoviesDad.

The Government announced today that planned tax breaks for the gaming industry will not be introduced. Despite contributing £1 billion per year and over 20,000 jobs to the UK economy, the Tory party has chosen not to honour the tax incentive initially announced by Alistair Darling, prior to the General Election.
Speaking in Parliament today, the relief tax was described as "poorly targeted" by Chancellor George Osborne. The tax breaks were initially missing from the Conservative manifesto, but after pressure senior party figures assured the industry that follow-up proposals would include the planned break.

Although it won't hit stores until March 2011, the Nintendo 3DS already boasts a healthy software lineup that will take advantage of the device's capabilities.
Games and proof-of-concept demos on display at the Electronic Entertainment Expo last week showed off the massive potential of the upcoming 3D handheld gaming system.In the hands of the right developers, the device's promising 3D camera and motion controls can combine to form a whole range of unique experiences.
Nintendo's massive E3 display here housed dozens of new demos, and Wired conducted a whirlwind tour of the area. To keep the huge line of gamers that snaked around the company's booth moving quickly through, all the demos were very short or non-interactive. Here's what we saw. Continue reading

ABC News, where the story was covered this week.
The Kalamazoo Gazette has an article on the gritty topics explored in today's young-adult literature that have made those books more popular among teenagers and more controversial for parents. Some librarians say they pick teen books based on reviews and the awards the books have won, without worrying about parental objections -- a stance endorsed by the American Library Association.
Still, librarians try to address parental concerns in other ways.
Anonymous Patron writes "How to challenge a book: The Richmond (VA)Times Dispatch has a suprisingly long look at Henrico County schools policies on books. The Richmond, Hanover County and Chesterfield County school systems offer parents procedures to challenge books and other reading material. In most cases, school officials say, the challenges are handled at the school level before progressing to a school-system committee.Before challenging a work, they say, parents should read it entirely and try not to impose their own views on what children read. "The greatest gift they could give their child is to give them to the freedom to think," she said, "and the only way they can do that is to give them the freedom to read.""
The Post and Courier (Charleston,SC) has a report on the main branch of the Charleston County Library and their "latchkey" children that flood in after school. Some do their homework, like Christina Brown, 12, who on a recent day sat on the steps to finish her French while waiting for her father, and Brittany Latten, also a sixth-grader, who researched a social studies project on a computer in the children's area.
Others, such as fifth-grade pals Louisa Hopkins and Sophie Greene, gather in a group outside to pass the time.
Coached on safety issues, the youngsters mainly keep to themselves and stay in groups. They know exactly what time to expect their rides home.
The Fort Wayne News Sentinel Looks At the staffers at the Allen County Public Library who are expressing concerns for the safety of children left alone, sometimes even without a way to get home. Security staff recorded an estimated 81 incidences last year systemwide in which a child was left unattended for several hours or was at the library at closing time without a parent or a way home. John Hidy, security services manager for the library system, said, to his recollection, that represents a slight increase from previous years though he doesn't have any numbers before 2005.
The library branch is a great resource, but as with any public place, predators can hang out,he said. We're very fortunate that we haven't had any serious incidents.
Reinventing libraries is an article from the Sacramento Bee that takes a look at the innovations in school libraries that set stage for online research but also bring uncertainties. The Rio Linda Union School District is expanding their libraries, and they say it's a bold investment in libraries, particularly as library programs from other districts sometimes face the chopping block when budgets tighten.Rio Linda Union's library media centers may be steps ahead of other districts' programs, but Rio Linda is still wrestling with the debate familiar to other districts over how best to integrate online education with book learning.
Some Good News for the kids down in New South Wales. Truck loads of new books are to be delivered to NSW schools thanks to a joint fund-raising effort to put more than 25,000 books into their libraries.
About $190,000 has been raised for the Premier's Reading Challenge Books for Schools fund by donations from The Sun-Herald and the NSW Department of Education and Training.
A Report AT Ha'aretz Daily says Egypt's children can buy the affordable old books distributed by the governmental publishing house Dar Al Maaref, written over 50 years ago. "But they are so out of date and written in a language children find difficult to understand," complained Abul Magd in an interview with the Egyptian monthly, "Egypt Today." Children's literature is a painful subject that comes up each time a book fair is held in Egypt - and is dropped just as quickly. Thus, for example, only one session will be devoted to the subject of children's literature and its distribution problems in Arab countries, among the dozens of other discussions that will be held in the context of the fair.
Just in case you're finding that budget stretched too tight to pay for some Xbox 360s, here's a pair of news articles about children attending library events featuring classic games and knitting sessions. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, Library 2.0.

I am curious. What is in your opinion the best and worst features of each Generation (or a feature you missed from an older game). This is NOT counting the Pokèmon, as each game adds more and more of those anyway...
For me:
Generation I (Red, Green, Blue, Yellow)
- Wild Pokèmon...well this game pretty much began it all so the whole game is a new feature
- The HM Flash. Its only required once and in this game you couldn't delete HM-moves. Leaving you stuck with a move that's close to useless in any other situation.
Generation II (Gold, Silver, Crystal).
- Move Deleter: So I can finally get rid of Flash:B
- Introduction of time and Day/night. It was kind of neat.
- Shiny Pokèmon. So long as you don't hack them and make their rarity pointless... Shinies of this generation were also stronger than their normal colored counterpart as they had above average IVs.
- Held items, particularly held berries that allowed the Pokèmon to regenerate health and cure status problems by itself.
- Having rematches with trainers you've fought before, when I run out of people to pwn.
- Breeding!
- Too many water Hms. In the first games I would just teach one HM-move to four members of my party and use an HM-slave for Flash (or just walk through the cave without it, it wasn't so hard), if I did that in Generation II I would end up with a water-type with three HM-moves..
- No Joey, I don't care about your Rattata. STOP CALLING ME... Yeah the phone was great but some of these calls got really annoying.
Generation III (Ruby, Sapphire, Emerald FireRed and LeafGreen.)
- Double battles. I would sometimes walk around deliberately looking for one
- VS Seeker. Rematches without the annoying phone-calls.
- No backwards compatibility. If it did I might still have had my shiny Raticate:(
- The berry system started to get really annoying... Planting berries may have been a neat idea, it just takes so darn long and becomes really tedious.
- The time system is more or less useless and has little impact on the game. Day/Night is gone.
All in all Generation 3 was a huge letdown for me and let to me becoming horribly bored of Pokèmon until the release of Platinum.
Generation IV (Diamond, Pearl, Platinum, SoulSilver and HeartGold)
- Return of the day/night system.
- Online Trading. Since I live in the middle of nowhere and none of my friends care about Pokèmon anymore this was the greatest feature ever.
- Walking with Pokèmon. This was technically introduced in Yellow but since it was only your one starter Pikachu I don't really count it.
- Backward compatible with Generation III.
- I STILL DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR RATTATA... well it was a remake of Generation II after all.
Generation V (Black and White)
- Pokèmon don't stand still in battle anymore (New for the portable games at least).
- Not really a feature but...since learning that there were no old Pokèmon in Unova I was expecting them to be replaced by new ones and I would just meet Woobats in every cave I entered. So far however every cave has had different Pokèmon in it. If only Zubat had not shown up in every single cave in Gen I-IV it wouldn't be half as annoying.
- Many good features from HGSS were missing. Such as the way the game could be controlled without pressing the buttons at all and the auto-run button, and of course Pokèmon outside their Pokèballs (maybe it would have made Team Plasma complain a bit less One less Pokèmon to be trapped inside a ball.)
I don't count the console games here since I've only ever owned one of them: Pokèmon Colloseum.

hold college work in high esteem when he finds that, though almost wholly uninformed respecting it, he is thought competent to select the managers and to direct the method. It is not surprising that some of our modern trustees entertain little respect for college professors; the only wonder is that so many of them entertain any respect whatever. Under the proposed method, however, the trustee would be no longer a mere name, he would hold office with definite duties and definite responsibilities, whose nature he would understand. He could not fail to become familiar with some portion of the institution's work, for conference would bring every trustee into contact with representatives of the faculties. His personal interest in one department or another would be apt to take practical shape.
As business principles would prevail in the management, funds for endowments could be obtained with less difficulty because there would be less dread of waste through bad investment. Patrons would be more ready to found departments, equipped with men, materials and build- ings, seeing in them more enduring monuments than mere memorials of stone.
The writer has been a college professor for thirty-three years. Familiar with the changes for good and ill to which this article refers, he has felt compelled to write without reserve and it may be with some emphasis, that the conditions may be brought sharply before those who really control the futere of American colleges and universities. He appeals to that business common sense which characterizes the great majority of college trustees. American colleges and universities have outgrown their swaddling clothes; no amount of patching can make them fit; the new garments must be of different cut and of different material.

Best part about it was that you could pick out the poseurs in the audience by the fact that some of them actually clapped during the credits (apparently in appreciation, but maybe in relief?) -- because, after all, it's Woody Allen!!

The Warsaw-based newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza and TVP Polish Public Television are reporting that criminal charges have been brought in the long-pending investigation into torture and kidnapping associated with a CIA black site on Polish soil during 2002 and 2003. The English-language Warsaw Business Journal summarizes the story as follows:
Zbigniew Siemi?tkowski, head of Poland's intelligence services from 2002–2004, has been charged with breaking international law in connection with an investigation into CIA "black sites" which were reportedly based in Poland and in which terrorist suspects were allegedly subjected to torture. Specifically, Mr Siemi?tkowski is being charged with allowing the "illegal deprivation of liberty," and the use of "physical punishment" on prisoners.
In an interview with television station TVP on Monday, Mr Siemi?tkowski confirmed that the charges had been brought against him. "While in the prosecutor's office I refused to answer questions and I shall continue to do so at every stage of the proceedings, including in court," he said, pointing to issues of national security as his reason.
Polish criminal investigators believe that the CIA operated a covert prison at Stare Kiejkuty, just over 100 miles north of Warsaw, between December 2002 and September 2003. Abu Zubaydah, an American prisoner, has suggested that he was held at the facility and tortured with techniques that may have included waterboarding. Polish authorities have granted Zubaydah victim status for the purposes of their ongoing investigation, which seeks to identify and charge those who operated the facility, incarcerated people there beyond the boundaries of Polish law, and subjected them to torture and abuse. The probe has concentrated on the role played by Polish authorities who collaborated with the CIA. These officials have consistently told investigators that they had no access to the facility and did not know what the CIA was doing there. The U.S. Justice Department has refused to cooperate with the investigation.
Lawyers who have been monitoring the case note that after the criminal charges were filed, on January 10, 2012, the case was mysteriously transferred to a prosecutor in Krakow, who has not yet signaled whether he intends to proceed with the charges. Questions were raised concerning the propriety of this transfer at a hearing on the CIA's renditions program before the European Parliament in Brussels on Tuesday.
CIA officials have consistently opposed the release of documents detailing their black-site operations, including a comprehensive but heavily redacted report produced by the CIA's inspector general. They argue that such disclosures would be harmful to U.S. national-security interests. The investigation in Poland makes clear exactly the sort of harm that the CIA has in mind. Polish prosecutors are building a detailed chronology of the black sites, and are systematically identifying the people who worked there or otherwise supported its operation. American personnel aren't likely to be charged, but Poles and non-American internationals will be fair game.
The Polish prosecutors are also likely sharing the fruits of their inquiries with other criminal investigators probing into CIA extraordinary renditions, including ones in Germany, Italy, Spain, and the United Kingdom. These investigations are menacing to the CIA, and they make the deployment to Europe of CIA personnel who were involved in the renditions program risky and problematic. And as the Associated Press has reported, those personnel appear generally to have advanced ahead of their peers, and now occupy some of the most senior positions at the Agency.

This is my 100th True Detective poem, and it's a big one. Hope you all enjoy.
The perfect 100th segment of one long saga, so many wonderful things. I especially like the first 1995 part, always thought about how traumatized Marty must be (first killing and shit) and Rust was the only one he can turn to at that time yet seldom do writers show interest in this subject. This is just like what I imagined, subtle and tender, how deep they bond from early on. Thank you Allie. Team Marty All The Way.

The election came less than a month after a majority of California olive oil producers voted to support the creation of the Olive Oil Commission of California.
"There's a strong interest in getting this commission up and running," said Senator Lois Wolk, D-Solano, who authored the 2013 legislation to establish the commission within the Department of Food and Agriculture. "California's olive oil industry wants a fair playing field where they can grow and thrive, and consumers need to feel confident about the products they serving their families. I look forward to seeing California's olive oil producers, both commercial and artisan, working together through the commission to showcase our state's high quality olive oil."
Through the commission, state olive growers and oil manufacturers will be able to conduct research and establish product grades and standards through the Secretary of Food and Agriculture. There are currently 16 active, industry-funded agricultural commissions in California created to enhance their industries competitiveness through promotion, advertising, education, marketing research, scientific research, and the creation and regulation of quality standards.
The commission's board has 10 members from among three California olive oil-producing districts and includes oil producers, handlers and a public representative. The members include Jim Lipman of California Olive Ranch, Brady Whitlow of Corto Olive LP, Adam Englehardt of K Bar Farming. The public member's position remains vacant.
"Forming the commission is an extremely positive step in supporting the future of the olive oil business in California," said newly-elected board member Dick Neilsen with McEvoy Ranch, which includes operations in Petaluma. "Olive oil is a rapidly expanding and important element in California agriculture. This new commission will help insure a healthy future for the California Olive Oil business, and I'm honored to be serving on the new Olive Oil Commission board."
"With the establishment of the commission, the members of California's growing olive oil industry can get to work on establishing market-leading standards and testing for extra virgin olive oil," said new board member Jim Etters, director of Yocha Dehe Farm and Ranch, which produces Séka Hills Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and is based in Yolo County. "Consumer taste for olive oil continues to grow in California and across the country. And we should be striving to ensure consumers have the information they need to readily choose olive oil based on freshness, taste and value."
The board aims to meet for the first time before the end of the month. Information on the meeting, including the date, time, place, and agenda will be posted on the CDFA website at least 10 days prior to the meeting.
Only large olive oil growers who produced more than 5,000 gallons of olive oil in the 2012 season were eligible to participate in the referendum vote to support the creation of the commission--and will be required to adhere to the commission's standards. Growers who produce less than 5,000 gallons of olive oil a year will be able to participate in commission activities through an advisory committee.
