Reliance spat: What's in store at ensuing board meetings?
Ambarish Mukherjee
New Delhi , Jan. 18
THE next three days may witness many new twists and turns in the ongoing Reliance saga with the two warring Ambani brothers gearing up for a showdown as the boards of four main Reliance group companies meet to consider their quarterly results.
The board of Reliance Energy Ltd will meet on Wednesday. On Thursday, the boards of Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Ltd (IPCL) and Reliance Capital Ltd (RCL) will meet.
And, on Friday the board of Reliance Industries Ltd (RIL) will be meeting to consider the company's third quarter results.
There is a strong possibility that the outcome of the board meetings, apart from the consideration of financial results, would provide indications about the turn of events that may happen inside the Ambani family regarding "ownership issue."
This is because of Mr Anil Ambani's resignation as the Vice-Chairman of IPCL, it is learnt, would be taken up for consideration in the IPCL board meeting.
It is also learnt that the younger Ambani has pitched himself against Mr Anand Jain who is known to be a close aide of the elder brother, Mr Mukesh Ambani.
Mr Anil Ambani would be expecting the elder brother to clarify his position on Mr Jain.
Meanwhile, work on valuation of the Ambani family properties is in full swing with the ICICI Bank chief, Mr K.V. Kamath, stepping in as a "family friend."
Informed sources said that Mr Kamath and his team is expected to complete the primary evaluation of the entire family property by the end of January or by the first week of February after which the family will meet and consider various options.
If a workable solution were in sight, informed sources said, then the second step would be to work out the modalities. Otherwise, the fight may intensify further, sources said.

Oh, MAN -- That was a heckuva game! This division match-up was a must-win for us. The win brought us back to first place, with a 6-3 record, which is huge for us with Green Bay not playing this week.
This might have been the most complete game we've played all season. All three phases - offense, defense and special teams - were on point. And then there was the 4th Phase... They, too, were in full effect, Sunday afternoon.
I feel like we did a great job of shutting down their running game, by only allowing them around 70 yards. As far as limiting their passing game, we managed to keep their amount of yards thrown down around 170, which is big for us - especially against Brett Favre, who put up - something like - 440 yards, last week.
Like I said in Friday's game preview, we feel that if we're to be successful, we have to take the ball away from the offense, at least, 3 times per game. Well, we managed to run away with 4 takeaways on Sunday (3 interceptions and 1 forced fumble). ...Looks like our formula for success proved itself as effective.
We've got a quick turnaround this week, with us heading to Miami for a Thursday night game. So it looks like Tuesday is when we'll be able to get in our only day of practice, because Wednesday will be spent traveling. But the quick turnaround doesn't concern us. We're gonna be ready for this big game, because it's an important one we need to win. We're trying to make this championship run towards the Super Bowl, so as long as we BEAR DOWN, BEAR DOWN and BEAR DOWN some more, our scope will stay fixated on that Dallas destination...

'Silenced' Calls Out South Korea's Lack of Severity Over Sex Crimes
Posted on 01 November 2011 by Eunice Roh
A new Korean film called Silenced, or Dogani (The Crucible), has prompted a national outcry in South Korea, with citizens demanding tougher penalties for sex crimes and stronger laws to protect children and the disabled from sexual abuse.
The graphic movie, based on a bestselling novel of the same name, exposes the injustice of the outcome of the 2005 Inhwa case, where female deaf students as young as seven years old were raped and sexually abused by school authorities at Gwangju Inhwa School, a school for hearing impaired students. To add to the horror, justice was never served for these girls (of the four convicted school officials—which included the school's principal, who bought his way out of jail—only two were prosecuted and were only sentenced light jail time), and the public turned a blind eye to the case until writer Gong Ji-young brought the marginalized story back to the center in 2009.
Seen by more than 4 million viewers—including South Korea's President, Lee Myung-bak—and covered by major media outlets like The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Economist, and Jezebel, Silenced has made a progressive impact by recently helping Korea's National Assembly to pass a reformed bill on sexual crimes, reports The Korea Times. The "Dogani Law," named after the Korean title of the film, significantly increases the prison sentence (up to life imprisonment) for offenders abusing children under 13 and the disabled.
Furthermore, the "Dogani Law" has also abolished a controversial clause, "inability to resist," which had required victims, specifically those who are disabled, to prove that they were physically or mentally inept to resist properly when the crime was being committed—a loophole that gave sex offenders a way out.

Before completing a mathematics test, 80 (54 female) participants were informed either that men outperform women on the test (stereotype threat condition) or that men and women perform equally well (no-stereotype condition). Following the test, participants received positive or negative feedback prior to rating their self-esteem. Finally, participants were invited to attend free mathematics tutorials and asked to indicate their likelihood of attending. Women under stereotype threat performed worse and were less motivated than non-stereotyped women to attend mathematics tutorials after receiving negative feedback. Furthermore, although men's self-esteem was higher if they received positive rather than negative feedback, feedback valence had no effect on women's self-esteem. These results suggest that the effect of stereotype threat on women's mathematical performance is potentially compounded by its capacity to reduce motivation to improve.
Stereotype Threat Reduces Motivation to Improve
Stereotype threat is crappy. Luckily, though, other studies suggest that teaching women about the phenomenon of stereotype threat is enough to make it go away! Things are rarely this simple in psych.

Seamlessly integrating and extending enterprise functions into e-business areas has been a major focus for SAP in its solution planning. Following this strategy, major technical and business benefits can be achieved by customers.
SAP R/3 Enterprise, the continuation and new version of the SAP R/3 suite of enterprise software applications will provide the optimal platform to prepare the company for an easier move to e-business with mySAP Business Suite. Current SAP R/3 customers which plan to stay with an enterprise centric business model within a foreseeable timeframe, benefit from lower maintenance costs and new functions. SAP R/3 Enterprise will be available to SAP R/3 customers as part of the SAP R/3 maintenance agreement
The evolution of SAP R/3 The overriding goal of the SAP R/3 development and delivery strategy is to extend the reach of existing SAP R/3 installations thereby providing a greater return on investment to the SAP R/3 customer by extending functions and pursuing new methods of implementing new functions.
SAP R/3 continues to play a key role in the overall strategy of mySAP Business Suite. It is a component and an important building block of the mySAP Business Suite e-business platform. It provides the enterprise resource planning (ERP) functionality that is a prerequisite for any successful business solution and delivers the reliability, scalability, and operability that SAP customers expect.
SAP R/3 Enterprise is a first step to e-business since it is part of nearly every mySAP Business Suite solution. So, for example in the area of HR, SAP R/3 provides functional coverage of much of the "standard" enterprise centric processes, whereas with mySAP HR, there are many additional benefits in the collaborative environment, such as E-Recruiting.

Proposals made in public places are increasingly popular these days if the amount of viral hits on Youtube.com is anything to be believed. Being a star of sorts for a few minutes, or even days, seems to be a real motivator for some people. Take caution however for there are plenty of pitfalls with planning a proposal like this and it is not for every girl. In fact it could be the source of huge embarrassment so tread carefully.
With that warning out the way and you clearly sure that your girlfriend is not going to mind being the focus of attention, one of the most public spots you could choose to ask your fiance to marry you is on a stage, in front of hundreds if not thousands of people. Both you and she will be the center of attention for a very short time, but it should be enough to get the job done. So check out these tips for a successful on stage proposal if you have the stomach for such a plan of action and, more importantly, you know that she does (seriously I can't stress this enough).
Planning Your On Stage Proposal 101
1. Pick The Event
If you're going to propose on stage, obviously the first thing to do is to choose the event that will provide the best situation for your own mini-event. Concerts are a natural choice, since many people share a love of music and have a favorite band that they like to see in a live setting. You could even provide the music performance yourself by singing, like this guy does in his on stage proposal at Universal Studios.
2. Pick The Venue
A regional group that has a following in a smaller area might be a better choice than, say, the Rolling Stones. And with bands having their own Facebook pages and contact being easier to accomplish, you can probably make your request directly. Other possible stage events to consider are plays or presentations, half-time shows at sports events, and between show times at county fairs.
3. Keep It A Secret Until The Last Second
One problem with the on stage proposal is getting her out there without letting her know what you're planning. Especially if she's the shy type, you may have to get very creative to coax her up on stage, and some subterfuge might be necessary in any case. If you can get the band or someone with microphone access to go along with the ruse, you could be announced as winners of a contest or raffle, or your license number could be announced and the owner asked to come up for a special giveaway of some kind.
4. Plan Your Proposal Properly
However you decide to go about it make sure you plan carefully. You'll need to get tickets to the staged event, if needed, in advance and to firm up a time for your proposal. You'll only have a minute or two, and of course that's all you'll need, but you'll have to have a strategy to be notified of the right time to go up on stage… so plan those toilet breaks carefully is all I'm saying!
Once you're on the stage, you'll want the person with the microphone to set up your proposal, or you could take control yourself and say some meaningful words like the guy in the following video does by reciting a poem on stage. You'll need the ring at the ready, and when you are at center stage and the crowd is roaring, you'll need to go down on one knee in the traditional manner and pop the question.
If you have the kahuna's then this is a marriage proposal that no one will ever forget! Plan it well, plan it in advance and absolutely be sure that your partner will be comfortable with the public nature of this proposal as it is not for everyone.
If you have any doubts whatsoever then please do use the below marriage proposal calculator and try some different ideas on for size.
What Next?
If you are settled on the idea of a stage proposal it's time to start thinking about picking the perfect engagement ring. To help you do so please check out our engagement ring guide. It has been carefully put together with the help of experts in the field (couples who have recently been through the process, a whole host of stylish ladies intent on offering their help as well as professional jewellers) with the sole intention of ensuring you pick the perfect ring for your partner.
It covers everything you need to know about diamond engagement rings including cut, carat, colour and clarity as well as pertinent questions like "Should I shop on my own, with my partner or ask my partners best friends to go with me?" and "How to go about asking for a Fathers permission". So if you are concerned about your budget and whether you are going to make the right choice then this is your one stop solution for all your answers.
So don't delay and please do ask if you need any assistance as we are always happy to help. Good luck and get going!
Have you ever proposed on stage? How did it go? Did you consider it and then reject it? If so, how come? Please share your experiences and help the next guy get this right!

Jacquelyn Piro Donovan Will Step in for Injured Lorna Luft in North Shore Dolly!; Complete Cast Announced
By Andrew Gans
Due to a severe back injury, Lorna Luft will be unable to play the role of Dolly Levi in the North Shore Music Theatre's upcoming production of Jerry Herman's Hello, Dolly!, which is scheduled to begin previews June 12 at the Massachusetts venue with an official opening the following evening.
Lynnfield native and Broadway veteran Jacquelyn Piro Donovan will step in to play the part of the lovable matchmaker. Last year, with only four days notice, Donovan stepped in to the same role for an injured Cybill Shepherd at North Carolina Theatre.
In a statement Luft said, "I am heartbroken that I will not be able to play the fantastic character, Dolly Levi. But, my doctors are telling me that Dolly cannot wear a back brace and walk with a cane! I wish Jacqui and the entire cast the best of luck and I can't wait to be in a future production at the North Shore Music Theatre."
The cast will also star Tony winner Gary Beach as the miserly half-a-millionaire Horace Vandergelder with Analisa Leaming (Irene Malloy), Matt Loehr (Cornelius), Eric Mann (Barnaby), Mara Newbery (Ermengarde), Sarah Peak (Minnie Fay) and Cary Tedder (Ambrose).
The ensemble includes Kristine Bennett, Scott Brateng, Jack Doyle, Rachel Fairbanks, Thomas Gibbons, Leeds Hill, Eric Huffman, Matthew Warner Kiernan, Stephanie Moskal, Dennis O'Bannion, Ellen Peterson, JP Qualters, Kevin Santos, Casey Shea, Tara Sweeney and Kyle Vaughn.
Charles Repole will direct the production with choreography by Michael Lichtefeld and musical direction by Craig Barna. The creative team also includes Erik D. Diaz (scenic designer), Paula Peasley-Ninestein (costume coordinator), Ken Smith (lighting designer), Michael Eisenberg (sound designer), John Godbout (production stage manager), Natalie A. Lynch (assistant stage manager) and Cassandra Marsh (assistant music director).
Based on Thornton Wilder's 1955 play The Matchmaker, Hello, Dolly! features a book by Michael Stewart and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. Song titles include "Put On Your Sunday Clothes," "Before the Parade Passes By" and "It Only Takes a Moment."
For tickets and additional information call (978) 232-7200, visit www.nsmt.org, or visit the box office in person at 62 Dunham Rd., Beverly.

Seventy or so of us Monsters fans in Cleveland will be traveling by bus for the Frozen Frontier game in Rochester. Since this should be a most unique and interesting event, I plan to post a recap of the experience. Considering the following:
- I have very little experience posting or blogging (other than comments on From the Monsters Desk)
- I have never been to an outdoor game and assume it will not be that easy to see or follow the action from the stands
- My knowledge of hockey skills and strategy are fairly basic so I won't be providing much insightful analysis
What kinds of things would you like to hear about and see pictures of? We'll have a 5 hour bus ride each way, some hotel time (same as the players but who knows if we'll see them), a brewery tour & dinner before the game, an "on-field pregame experience" and of course the game itself. I'll put in as much about the players and the game as I can, but I don't want to clutter up the MHH community with stuff more appropriate for my FB page.
Lemme know what you think and GO MONSTERS!!!

If you enjoyed this please share, and Check out my site mymma.tk I would really appreciate it the support and the clicks.
On December 16th, 1997 Dan Severn would make his UFC debut at UFC 4: Revenge of the Warriors. Though not the first wrestler to compete in MMA by any stretch of the imagination, he would be the first to make an impact of worth in the UFC. Severn would utterly decimate his competition through the tournament with his size, strength, will, and a wrestling background.
Severn controlled his opponents without any trouble, submitting Anthony Macias via Rear naked choke at the 1 minute 45 second mark of the fight. Followed shortly by an Arm triangle submission of Marcus Bossett only 52 seconds into the contest. When the finals came it was the legend Royce Gracie. They met in the center, Royce throwing flailing front kicks doing little to no damage and Severn waiting for his chance to shoot. Less than a minute in Severn scores the take down and proceeds to attempt to smother and punch Royce. Royces offense consists of butt kicks early on, and punches, and palm strikes to the body attempting to make Severn adjust, but continued with out success.
As the fight continued on a triangle was attempted by Royce though unsuccessful. Punches are exchanged from both men yet still nothing. Then Royce throws up one leg over the shoulder, locking the other over the ankle, he has a triangle. At 15 minutes and 49 seconds Dan Severn slaps his hand down to the mat 3 times. Gracie is the victor. Though the Gracies again were successful, they had someone to fear and that man was Dan Severn the Wrestler.
At the Following tournament UFC 5: Return of the Beast Severn would defeat all his opponents again in overpowering fashion, catching Jon Charles with a Rear naked choke, followed by TKO of Oleg Taktarov, and in the finals submitted Dave Beneteau via Keylock in only 3 minutes. This was the key, wrestling was now a force in the MMA world, and Dan Severn would set the paradigm for wrestlers to come. One the earliest being Don Frye fellow ASU wrestler and training partner. Though wrestling did not dominate the era, it emerged as a viable skill set that could be used quite effectively. With Frye he would integrate his wrestling into his fight game far better. Frye also had experience as a Pro Boxer(record:1 win 0 losses) as well as a 2nd degree black belt in Judo. His game was one of the most diversified, but what gave him the choice to Stand and bang or shoot and go for submissions lied in his take down abilities honed on the wrestling mats.
Frye would go undefeated through UFC 8: David vs. Goliath winning the tournament. Defeating none other than the future star Gary Goodridge via submission (punches) in the tournament finals. Frye would stay undefeated until the UFC 10 tournament finals being defeated by future world beater, and Olympic wrestler Mark Coleman via TKO at 11 minutes and 34 seconds into the fight.
So began a cycle of dominant wrestlers in Ultimate Fighting Championships, as well as MMA. While Coleman would battle on and win UFC 11: The Proving Ground tournament defeating Scott Ferrozzo, and Frye would be victorious at Ultimate Ultimate 1996 defeating Tank Abbot in the tournament finals. With their success proven a plethora of wrestlers would jump on to the scene.
Randy Couture won the UFC 13: Ultimate Force Heavyweight tournament with his dirty boxing, and extensive back ground in Greco/Roman wrestling. Tito Ortiz would make his MMA debut going 1 win to 1 loss in the Light Heavyweight tournament losing to guy Mezger. As well Royce Alger 2 time D1 NCAA Champion would lose to Enson Inoue via armlock.
Mark Kerr Division 1 All american, and Kevin Jackson 4 time All American made their UFC debuts at UFC 14: Showdown running through the their tournaments. Kerr would run through the UFC 15: Collision Course Heavyweight tournament in similar fashion, while Couture would defeat rising phenom 19 year old Vitor Belfort. Couture would win the Heavyweight Championship at UFC Japan: Ultimate Japan 1 against Maurice Smith only to be stripped due to contract disputes.
At UFC 16: Battle on the Bayou former collegiate wrestler Pat Miletich would win the Lightweight tournament(under 200 Lbs). At UFC 17: Redemption three wrestlers would fight. Mark Coleman would lose to Pete Williams, but Prospect and Division 1 wrestler Chuck Liddell would win his UFC debut, and Dan Henderson former an Olympic wrestler would win the UFC Middleweight tournament.

At UFC 22: Only one can be the Champion; Future Champions and former Collegiate Wrestlers Jens Pulver and Matt Hughes would make their UFC debuts.

Between UFC 1 and UFC 29 30 notable wrestlers competed in the UFC. 8 would become tournament Champions(Severn, Frye, Coleman, Couture, Kerr, Miletich, Jackson,Henderson). 1 super fight champion (Dan Severn). 3 Heavy weight Champions(Couture, Randleman, Coleman), 1 Welterweight Champion(Miletich Never Lost under the SEG owned UFC), 1 light heavyweight (Ortiz won the belt then defended 1 time under SEG).
What separated these men from their opponents was the mental strength, and will that wrestling brought to the table. The anguish of the weekly tournaments, and impending weight cuts customary of High School and Collegiate wrestling; gave these men a mental edge over their opponents, something you can't get from just training or fighting. Though many of the early wrestlers did have ugly or completely lacked a stand up game and submission game, but they persevered and used what they knew to put their opponents on their back.
They gained several wins by Exhaustion out working their opponents because when they were beaten, battered, and tired beyond words what set them on a level above their opponent was their power of will, and mental toughness drilled into them during practices on the mat. The countless shots, and sprawls they did in practice gave them control over the fight a kick boxer or a pure submission artist didn't have. They could see where they were lacking against an opponent and decide where to take a fight. Wrestling gave them a choice others didn't have.

the voice of experience...
The prime minister, Tony Abbott, says perpetrators of violent, alcohol-fuelled crime should face tougher consequences but said the power to address the issue is in the hands of state governments.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph on Friday, Abbott said that while he "enjoys a drink on social occasions", he is "appalled by the violent binge-drinking culture that now seems so prevalent, especially at 'hot spots' in our big cities''.
Abbott said such attacks "should be dealt with very severely by the police and the courts".
minimising binge drinking...
Alcohol, coffee and cigarettes do not mix. One of them will kill you before you turn 45. But when you add some steroids to this "lethal" mix, someone else will get killed in a show of useless aggression and "unrestrained" anger.
Alcohol, steroids, martial arts and over-inflated ego mix well to turn idiots into lethal idiots... Society is full of show-off idiots, making up for duplicitous show-off idiot politicians... I don't know what I mean, but I said it, thus it must be true.
Alcohol abuse is a serious problem, especially amongst young adults in this country. Any countries. In fact, the idea would be to ban alcohol consumption till adults are at least 25, or start training earlier, say from the age of seven.
In most European countries, there was no such age limit. I don't know now... Kids were raised with the help of fermented juices (wine, schnapps, liquor) and with the reach of adulthood no-one would drink "too much"... Hum hum. Medical treatment included cocaine and brandies for kiddies... It worked! There were "no" problem of abuse... Hum... Well, not that I can remember, I might have been too whatevered... Okay, there was "abuse" but it was not seen in public. Hum hum... that's a lie... Most young men were sent to war to fill trenches with dead bodies. There, wine and distilled alcohol were used to give "courage (!)" and silly bravado to troops going on useless assault daily by the thousands... War was mostly fuelled by wine for drunks, including elegant generals... After World War Two, Occupying US troops were usually found pissed at various bars and brothels around Europeans towns — soldiers collected at curfew, like dead bags of potatoes, by the Military Police.
Nothing changes much. In an elevated society, alcohol should not be "abused"... War should not be abused... Hum... Hum... These days, the "brainwashing of war" is performed skilfully without alcohol, but possibly with amphetamines and "rigourous" training, to give young men and women the will to kill "responsibly" without loosing their own life, in a one on one combat, from the armchair of a drone controlling unit while the enemy is decided upon by a computerised NSA/CIA information desk. The other side often uses the focusing power of caffeine and religious "brainwashing" to enlighten suicide bombers... Booze here would be negative, because in "moderate" quantity booze has a tendency to make people feel good, relaxed and unwilling to fight.
Something do change...
As if there were never any brawls in Sydney's bars somewhere... The "smart" idea would be for young people to avoid "such places" where they know the risk of trouble is higher, then to drink in "moderation" (3 standard drinks per revelling night at home — that boring place with the turdy wallpaper) and then go for some fresh air, pondering about the meaning of life under the stars — till the moment Prince Charming or Princess Fairlight turns up for them to be hormonically happy together ever after. Soon the level of violence would diminish as lack of patronage would send "these places" broke...
Cigarettes, coffee and booze will kill you before you're 45 by whatever cancer (brain, throat, liver, lung). Cigarettes being the main culprit in the mix... even if booze is abused in moderation.
Culprit of deadly assaults whatever their excuses should be made to perform a simulated game of survival in a strong enclosure until they die of exhaustion...
And girls spewing in the gutter from binge drinking is not a good look...
Meanwhile, prime Ministers in glasshouses should not be heard... nor seen...
... and CO2 in the atmosphere will kill far more people through global warming than a one-punch drunk... Go tell this to Abbott the idiot denialist...
Gus Leonisky
Your alcohol drinker expert.
abbott's idiotic doom...
IT WILL BE SEEN by historians, probably, that this last week sealed Abbott's doom.
His appointment of the needlessly divisive Goodes instead of, say, Noel Pearson or Cate Blanchett or Baz Luhrmann or Brad Haddin as Australian of the Year; the story of the blinding and the burnt hands of a crimeless Somalian and the hiding of available film of this event; the destruction of the Shepparton district for want of the price, per taxpayers, of a cappuccino in the coming decade; the warning to Toyota that Australia is closed for business; and his attack on the ABC and Turnbull's defence of it, show a government tottering, and a leadership addled, like none since the final days ofBilly McMahon.
Those who want a measure of this should hear Tony Eastley's interview with Scott Morrison and the bureaucrato-babble with which he refuses to clarify things by providing video of what happened, and refuses to say how many boats this month, this year, have headed towards Australia. A new word, scottmobbledigook, arrived in the language and will hereafter, probably, lodge there.
It is now certain there has been no crazier immigration minister in our history, repeatedly invading hostile foreign waters and ordering the torture of a Somalian worse than he got at home, and so unwelcome he tried to suicide. It is probably there has been no worse foreign minister shouting at her mortified Chinese opposite number and lecturing that great country, and significant customer, on its internal politics. It is certain there has been no worse education minister — calling 'Conski' a system he later embraced, and then proposed to starve. It is probably there has been no worse treasurer, refusing to say what decade he would have us back in surplus and pondering, lately, the privatisation of the most esteemed broadcaster in this hemisphere in order to save the taxpayer two dollars a week in perpetuity.
And there may have been no worse backbencher, ever, than Cory Bernardi, who compared gay marriage to the copulation of beasts.
And this week it became apparent how bizarre this hopping and screeching bunch of Neolithic primates is. They would rather kill manufacturing and, with it, our economy, than deviate from a primitive dogma that all other nations have abandoned. All other nations subsidise their car industry — but they do not. All other nations protect their rural sector; but they do not. All other nations are doing well out the social-democrat approach that Austria, Holland, Sweden, Norway, Scotland, Ireland, Canada and Venezuela adopt. But they do not. And we will go down the gurgler because of their purity of heart.
It is time a petition was got up to sack them.
It's time.

Vote Alert
"YES" on H.R. 2273 the "Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act."
October 14, 2011
NTU urges all Representatives to vote "YES" on H.R. 2273 the "Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act." Introduced by Rep. McKinley (R-WV), this bill would ensure sensible rules are established for the safe disposal and management of coal ash while alleviating the regulatory uncertainty that is currently threatening businesses' budgets and consumers' utility bills.
In 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) concluded a study of coal combustion residuals, including coal ash, and determined that it was inappropriate to regulate it as hazardous waste under Subtitle C of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act. The EPA has since reversed course, proposing a rule that would involve massive implementation costs, including the retrofitting of landfills and the premature retirement of coal-based generating units. A study conducted by Veritas Economic Consulting reveals that the proposed regulations could result in net job losses of up to 316,000, with costs to the industry as high as $35 billion (much of which could be passed along to ratepayers).
To avoid this unnecessary economic harm, H.R. 2273 would allow states to adopt and implement their own coal combustion residual permit programs so long as they meet the requirements for municipal solid waste laid out in the Solid Waste Disposal Act. Furthermore, the bill grants the EPA the authority to enforce compliance with the standards if a state fails to meet certain conditions. In doing so, the Coal Residuals Reuse and Management Act gives a state and its citizens the opportunity to determine the proper regulatory balance, with an eye toward health and economic effects.
NTU urges all Representatives to vote "YES" on H.R. 2273. Roll call votes on this legislation will be significantly weighted in our annual Rating of Congress.
If you have any questions, please contact NTU Federal Government Affairs Manager Brandon Greife at (703) 683-5700

Top Teachers: Debbie Waldenmaier
Colonial Trail E.S., third grade
As a sixth-grader in Brentwood, N.Y., Debbie Waldenmaier struggled with reading and had difficulty grasping some concepts that didn't involve visual or audible elements. But her teacher spent extra time with her and helped create new ways for her to learn that eventually allowed her to thrive.
As a third-grade teacher at Colonial Trail Elementary School, Waldenmaier prides herself upon her ability to do the same for her students.
Because so many students learn in different ways, she has spent extra effort developing unique lessons for individual students, taking their strengths and weaknesses into account as she does so.
"Her classroom is a hands on, challenging learning environment," one nominator wrote of Waldenmaier. "Her enthusiasm and love of what she does is clear."
To Waldenmaier, her teaching style is a natural extension of who she is.
"I think it comes naturally because of the way that I learn," she said. "I was a very eclectic learner – I needed to touch, see, hear it."
To help her students understand the larger world around them, she has arranged for pen pal partnerships with students in Italy and Niger, Africa – students with whom her own class communicates in writing and through video conferencing.
"We sent candy canes to them for Christmas, we've exchanged DVDs. The experience is so real for them," Waldenmaier said of her students.
Moments of recognition and clarity excite Waldenmaier, who feels at home with third-graders and relishes her role assisting in their transition from students who are learning how to read to students who are reading to learn.
"It's just a wonderful transformation over the course of the year," she said. "They become much more independent."
Last year, Waldenmaier – a 16-year teaching veteran who has spent the past four years at Colonial Trail – earned teacher of the year honors at her school. In November, she was one of several recipients of the REB Award, which is given annually to a select few teachers in Metro Richmond. The $10,000 award will help fund a trip to Greece and Italy this summer, during which she plans to document her visits to the historical sites her students can't quite fathom.
"It's really difficult for them to make the connection that a building was built 2,000 years ago and still exists," she said.
Her trip, she hopes, will make the connection a real one for students in the future. Her classroom message is not unlike her favorite quote from Mother Theresa: "Speak kind words, and you will hear kind echoes."
"We teach them to be good citizens and about the differences between people and accepting people for who they are," she said.

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico
The Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. attended the Ninth Annual Filipino Festival at Our Lady of Lourdes Church earlier this month.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

Now you'll get to meet the man behind it.
Ms. Thomas gave updates on the northeast Texas
region's transportation issues, along with Jeff Austin, commissioner of
the Texas Department of Transportation, and Barbara Holly, executive
director of the Tyler Area Metropolitan Planning Organization. Ms.
Holly explained the function of an MPO, saying it was created in the
1960s after the national interstate highway system was built. "The
government decided there was a need for local elected officials to make
decisions about the highways and where they should go," she said. She praised the cooperative spirit of many of the towns in Smith County, especially regarding the construction of Toll 49. "It came in two decades ahead of schedule," Ms. Holly said. Austin told the various city officials that he expected funding for new roads in the state will be a challenge. "We
just submitted our biennial budget for $21 billion for road
maintenance," he said. "We've got to take care of our infrastructure and
we can't do a lot without our MPOs," Austin said. He said the
state depended on the various community metropolitan planning
authorities to set the priorities in their cities. Austin also talked
about the need for a high-speed rail system between Dallas and
Shreveport, La."The population is expected to double in Texas in
the next 20 to 25 years — we have some tough challenges, but we're
Texans and we are up for it," Austin said. The next Council of Cities meeting is in August.

CATEGORIES MoviesFilm: Footnote (2011) Cast includes: Lior Ashkenazi (Walk on Water), Shlomo Bar-Abe (Witness in the War Zone) Writer/Director: Joseph Cedar (Beaufort) Genre: Comedy | Drama | Satire (103 minutes) Hebrew with subtitles
It's the "most difficult day in Professor Eliezer Shkolnik's life." Today his son, Professor Uriel Shkolnik, is being inducted into Israel's National Academy. It's obviously a family of academic over-achievers, who inhabit a world of scholars, measuring their self-worth by the academic organizations they've been invited to join, the prizes they've won and the scholarly works they've published. So why is it such a difficult day for Eliezer Shkolnik? Well, "there are a few things worth knowing about Shkolnik (father)." On the brink of publishing the findings of 30 years worth of Talmudic research, his efforts were undermined and rendered worthless by that scoundrel, Grossman. Today, all Shkolnik (father) can boast is an obscure footnote citing him in someone else's research paper. And Shkolnik (father) is loath to ride the coattails of Shkolnik (son).
On the "happiest day in Professor Eliezer Shkolnik's life" he receives a phone call from the Education Commission, telling him that he will be receiving the coveted Israel Prize. It's long overdue. After all, he's been passed over for 20 years. But when Uriel Shkolnik gets called to meet with the board members of the Education Commission, he learns they "have good news and bad news." The phone call was a mistake -- the wrong Shkolnik. And the committee, headed by the aforementioned Grossman, is leaving it up to Uriel Shkolnik to tell Eliezer Shkolnik he isn't getting the prize after all. In the meantime, Eliezer Shkolnik is basking in the glory with his usual chip-on-the-shoulder attitude. He publicly badmouths the research of the new generation -- scholars such as his son, the true winner of the prize!
This tricky, clever spoof on family/community life in academia starts out with some great stylistic elements inspired by mid-20th century mystery movies. We're instantly drawn in by the music, the graphics and the quick rollout of plot elements. Steeped in academic competition and esoteric research, character motivations can seem a bit twisted to the rest of us. But the filmmakers show us how egos wrapped in the guise of academic achievement can lead to some bizarre rivalries. Once the dilemma of the Israel Prize mistake is revealed, however, the film becomes a bit mired in esoteric details. The fast, subtitled dialogue can be a bit challenging because some of the minutia that flies by is rather important. But it's still clever and funny. See it with a friend. When you finish watching it, you'll probably want to compare notes on what you believe happened at the end -- a little scholarly exercise of our own!

Bill Madden
reports opines that "MLB likely to uphold San Francisco's territorial rights in San Jose, leaving the A's stuck in Oakland."
Madden cites the territorial rights below:
1. The Giants' territorial rights to San Jose are part of the MLB constitution as a result of former A's owner, Levi-Strauss heir Wally Haas agreeing to cede them in 1989 to Giants owner Bob Lurie, who, frustrated in his efforts to get a new stadium in San Francisco, was looking to relocate the team.
2. Even if Selig did invoke his "best interests of baseball" powers and allowed the A's to move to San Jose, he probably doesn't have the votes.
Madden beats the same drum that he has been beating for two years:
Or, if everyone concludes the A's financial survival anywhere in their own territory is untenable, there is the final solution: Contraction. In noting the similar plight of the Tampa Bay Rays, whose ironclad lease with Tropicana Field holds them hostage in St. Petersburg until 2027, one baseball official said darkly: "The A's and Rays are both in hopeless situations, and there's no place to move these teams. Hard as this might be to swallow for a lot of us, it would be in the best interests of baseball to contract both of them. You'd have a better game, and it would be two less teams we all have to subsidize."
Keep in mind, this is the same Madden who as Jordan Kobriz at the Biz of Baseball wrote of nearly 1 year ago:
Recently, New York Daily News columnist Bill Madden, a notorious mouthpiece for MLB management, wrote an article describing the "growing sentiment…throughout baseball" to contract two teams. To support his statement, Madden cited "three anonymous baseball execs" who targeted the Tampa Bay Rays and Oakland A's as likely candidates, given their stadium situations.
One year later, Bill Madden seems to be beating the same drum as 1-year ago...despite having all the facts laid out in front of him in articles like Contraction is a Pipe Dream by CBSSports Ray Ratto or Maury Brown at the Biz of Baseball.
And so, the real issue with all this contraction talk is, no owner in MLB is willing to allow relocation out of a club's given territory. The owners of clubs that don't have financial issues (and, ironically, that now includes the Twins), would rather try and contract teams rather than have them land in their "backyard". After all, with less mouths to feed, those left standing reap the monetary benefits.
Have to give him credit for re-hashing the same old story year after year.
Finally, I was finishing Bill Veeck's autobiography Veeck as in Wreck and he goes back in time to 1974 right before he purchased the Chicago White Sox. White Sox owner Art Allyn Jr. was going to be unable to meet payroll and was going to have to relinquish control of the franchise over to MLB. The league's grand plan was to move the White Sox to Seattle and in turn Charlie Finley was going to move the A's to his home base of Chicago.
At the time, the city of Seattle had a 32.5 million dollar lawsuit for granting the city a franchise in 1969 only to pull it after 1 year. The city held the suit in abeyance and proceeded with the construction of the Kingdome since MLB had promised Seattle a new franchise by 1976.

Sutton people encouraged to rally behind David Weir for Sports Personality of the Year
11:00am Sunday 16th December 2012 in News
The people of Sutton have their chance to make sure Paralympic hero David Weir ends his year on a high by backing him to win a top sporting prize tonight.
Wallington wheelchair racer Weir is one of 12 sporting stars in with a chance of winning the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year award this evening but he needs your help.
This year's award is being decided via a telephone vote during tonight's Sports Personality of the Year show on BBC1 from 7.30pm.
Already this year the Weir-Wolf has won four gold medals at the Paralympics in London and his sixth London Marathon.
People all over Sutton including Mayor Councillor Sean Brennan have given the 33-year-old, who still trains in the area, their backing and bookmaker Ladbrokes rank Weir as their fourth favourite for the prize ahead of the likes of cyclist Chris Hoy and rower Katherine Grainger.
Coun Brennan said: "We have the chance to show how proud we are and make him Sports Personality of the Year. I urge everyone to join me by voting for David."
According to Ladbrokes Weir's odds of 66-1 could shorten if the people of Sutton give him their backing. Spokesman Alex Donohue said: "When people get together behind a nominee it can improve their chances.
"These campaigns make us worry we could lose a lot of money and if the people of Sutton get together there really is a good chance he could win."
Other stars in the shortlist include favourite cyclist Bradley Wiggins, runner Mo Farah, heptathlete Jessica Ennis and golfer Rory McIlroy.
The number to call to vote for Weir will be announced during the show tonight.

ALBANY, GA (WALB) - More businesses are about to open in downtown Albany, four new leases have been signed. But as fast as new businesses arrive, two older businesses are headed to northwest Albany.
Owners say they need to go where the traffic is. It's caused the downtown manger to re-evaluate what works downtown. He says downtown can't compete with new development and he doesn't want to.
Envy's downtown Albany store is closed. It's moved to northwest Albany where owners say in the last week and a half, the store's traffic has doubled.
"A lot of new faces, and people coming in at all hours not just the lunchtime rush I've got people in here all day," says Julia Temples, Envy Owner.
A&K Fashions is also opening a store on Nottingham Way at Ledo Road and hasn't decided the downtown store's fate.
"With the economy the way it is people are looking for customers and downtown is just slow, it's great, but it's slow," said Ella Woodard, A&K Fashion Owner.
Downtown manager Don Buie says downtown can't compete with brand new construction in northwest Albany that's why he's looking for what works in downtown and for the 48-hundred people who work there daily. He's believes he's found it.
"What we know works right now are food establishments, entertainment works downtown, and as we look to build residential housing we'll look to increase the model on the other side."
Along Jackson Street, the Subway plans to expand and has taken over the lease next door. Next to that a national retail chain will occupy the next two storefronts. Buie said he can't fix all of downtown in a year, but he continues to work one block at a time but it takes cooperation from downtown landlords.
"You cannot let one person or a couple of people stop a movement, this is a movement, downtown will progress."
It's already progressing to the very blocks Envy just left and where A&K Fashion remains along West Broad Avenue, where Buie is finalizing more leases for downtown entertainment.
Downtown manager Don Buie plans to release more information about the businesses coming to downtown at a city commission meeting Tuesday.
