Arkansas and LSU finish off their respective regular seasons when they meet in Baton Rouge on Friday afternoon. The Tigers are trying to work their way toward another 10-win campaign, while the Razorbacks are simply looking for some positives they can take into the offseason.
After last week's tough overtime loss to Mississippi State, Bret Bielema is still looking for his first conference win as Arkansas' head coach. Six of the Razorbacks' seven SEC losses have come by double digits -- it's just been that sort of year, and it goes to show that the SEC West can be an incredibly demoralizing meat grinder when you're in a rebuilding mode.
In all likelihood, the Razorbacks won't pose much of a threat on the road against a superior LSU team -- Vegas expects a blowout. Then again, stranger things have happened. If the same LSU squad that rolled Texas A&M last week shows up, though, this one might be over quickly.
The numbers
Rankings and records: LSU is 8-3 (4-3) and ranked 15th in both major polls. Arkansas comes into the game 3-8 (0-7). The Tigers are tied for third in the SEC West, and the Razorbacks are bringing up the rear. LSU holds a 36-20-2 edge in the all-time series.
Vegas: LSU opened as a 24.5-point favorite.
Weather: The high is expected to hit the upper 50s.
Three names to know
Zach Mettenberger -- If Mettenberger throws two touchdown passes on Friday, he'll have 24 on the season, double his 2012 total. His breakout campaign has been impressive, and LSU's offense has been considerably better as a result. The Tigers are averaging 7.2 yards per play in 2013, compared to 5.5 in 2012.
Alex Collins -- Bielema's program seems to be lacking a definite quarterback of the future, but the team has found a steady producer at running back in Alex Collins. He leads the team with 998 yards rushing and four touchdowns.
Chris Smith -- Smith ranks second in the SEC with 8.5 sacks and fourth with 11.5 tackles for loss. The Razorbacks will need a strong effort from the pass rusher to disrupt LSU's passing attack and keep them in the contest.
Two things at stake
The Razorbacks have lost 11 consecutive conference games dating back to last season, and they haven't won a game against anybody this season since September. Halting this streak of futility to cap an otherwise forgettable year would give the program some positive vibes to build on heading into the offseason.
A couple of close games didn't go LSU's way this year, leaving the Tigers out of the hunt for a league title. But with a win over Arkansas and a victory in their bowl game, the Tigers can reach double digit wins for the fourth straight season.

A Portland-based company claims to bring people and pets together in a whole new way.
Hannah the Pet Society said it matches people with their ideal pet and then provides all pet care for a monthly fee, but some are questioning the way the business interacts with clients and how it gets animals.After matching pets with people, the company then provides things like grooming, training, veterinary care - even food. "What we're trying to do is make it so that people who wouldn't otherwise have a pet, or are considering getting rid of their pet because they can't afford it or have other issues with it, can have it as part of their family," said founder Scott Campbell.The key difference from other adoptions is that Hannah retains ownership of the animal. Some say that you are essentially renting a pet."It wasn't really clear initially that you were renting the dog," said Diane Tate, who put down a deposit for a dog in February. "(It wasn't clear) that all the decisions would be made by Hannah the Pet Society. You would be consulted but other than that, everything is their decision."Diane Tate said it was eventually spelled out in the contract, but as she read it, she had more concerns."Lots of things in that contract are very unclear, ambiguous and you have no idea what you're really getting yourself into," Tate said.And when she was having second thoughts, she said the company pushed too hard."Immediately, I started getting phone calls, it was almost harassment," Tate said.Tate said Hannah did let her out of the contract and refunded her deposit, but she still filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. "They have to change their approach," said Tate. "They have to honest about what they are and how they do it."Hannah said its process is a new way to help homeless pets, yet when the PAWS animal shelter in West Linn offered the company a kitten, Hannah refused to take it, according to the shelter."They advertise that they work with shelters and get their animals from shelters and rescues when in fact they only take again the highly adoptable, easily sold, pretty animals," a shelter volunteer said.PAWS worries Hannah is putting profit before pets. Campbell said the company is a startup and has yet to turn a profit."Our plan is really to help find homes for pets," said Campbell. "If that all works, some day there will be some profit."Campbell said he is aware of the criticism, including a website and Facebook page that question its practices. "I try to worry about what we're doing and make sure we do a good job and not really worry too much about what people say about me," Campbell said.But the Oregon Humane Society is among those concerned. A statement reads in part:
"We support out of the box thinking when it comes to saving lives and this is certainly the case with a company that occasionally sources animals from shelters and leases them to caretakers ... We are concerned about the source of animals when not coming from shelters. Hannah society has not shared with us any criteria that would preclude the lease of puppy mill source dogs ... for the people who read the fine print and are looking for a less committed relationship this might be the right choice. Whether it's the right choice for pets remains to be seen."
Hannah's founder said they do buy non-shelter dogs, but didn't get specific about the sources.
The company provided several testimonials of satisfied customers and is also endorsed by several shelters.The Better Business Bureau said 10 complaints have been filed in the last year, but all of them have been resolved.

CHAPEL HILL, NC (WECT) - All NC hospitals will be 100% tobacco-free as of July 6 after the NC Hospitals Association and NC Prevention Partners received an additional $250,000 grant to build model tobacco cessation system for hospitals.
The NC 100% tobacco-free hospital campus policy resulted from collaboration between NC Prevention Partners, the Duke Endowment and the NC Hospital Association .
The policy restricts tobacco use anywhere on the hospital premises including:
"North Carolina will pass a major health milestone next week," said President and CEO of NC Prevention Partners Dr. Meg Molloy in a statement. "We are leading the nation in tobacco-free hospitals and, with these policies in place, millions of hospital patients, visitors and employees will be protected from exposure to harmful secondhand smoke. Hospitals are natural health leaders and are setting the pace for healthy communities in North Carolina. We are grateful to the Duke Endowment and NC Hospital Association for their unwavering support."
The Duke Endowment is located in Charlotte and honors James B. Duke by improving higher education, health care, rural churches, and children's services. Since its start in 1924, the Endowment has awarded more than $2.2 billion in grants.
"We strongly support 100% tobacco-free hospital campuses," said VP at Duke Endowment Mary Piepenbring in a statement. "This project has continued to bring real results and serves as a national model. We are proud to be a partner in this important initiative and want to thank NC Prevention Partners and Hospital Association for their tireless efforts to make this possible."
The North Carolina Hospital Association is the statewide trade association. It represents 131 hospitals and health systems.
"By going 100% tobacco-free campus wide, our hospitals have taken a bold step to improve the health of every patient, visitor, and employee," said President of the NC hospitals Association William Pully in a statement. "Healthy policies make good sense and are in line with our mission to improve the health of North Carolinians. I congratulate our hospital leaders for their vision and drive to make this happen, and for serving as a model for the rest of the nation."
In addition to the policy, there is now a system that helps every hospital patient and employee currently using tobacco to quit.

This post is sponsored by Grammarly.
I've been absent from the blog for a while. Apparently for more than a month. Oops. Luckily, I have pages and pages of new words to show for it!
I left DFWcon newly inspired and with all these ideas to make the WIP so much better. Unfortunately, those ideas weren't the kind of fixes where you weave in another subplot or clarify a character's arc. Nope. These ideas required an entire rewrite. Another one. (This realization involved much whining to my Twitterbloc critters and much actual wine.)
The massive overhaul of the manuscript was for the best though. I crafted a new query letter before The Writer's Voice and somehow — this is still unbelievable to me — got six requests for the full manuscript during the contest. (Sometimes I have to go back to Krista's blog just to remind myself that this really happened.)
Unfortunately, upon receiving those requests, I had to email all the interested agents and tell them the truth: My book isn't ready yet.
Doing this terrified me. While I know that agents want to see the best work I have to offer, there was a voice in the back of my head whispering, "If you don't send the manuscript within the next 24 hours, they'll change their minds. They won't want it weeks from now. In fact, they'll tell you never to query them again. They'll spread the word to all the agents in the world that you're unprepared and unprofessional! They'll come to your house and burn it to the ground!"
Needless to say, this didn't happen. Four of the agents wrote back within 24 hours to tell me that was perfectly fine and that they wanted to read my book when it was ready. Two didn't respond, but I know they're busy and I still plan to send them the book when it's ready.
Now, I'd be lying if I said that taking these weeks post-contest to finish my rewrite doesn't still make me nervous — like this window of opportunity will close because I couldn't immediately hit "send" upon receiving the requests. But I have to be fair to myself: I can't send a hastily thrown-together book out into the universe. This is my career we're talking about!
This whole experience reminds me of something author Rebecca Petruck said during a writers' retreat. A friend of mine told her that she'd pitched an agent during a conference and then decided the book wasn't ready. Now that the WIP was nearing completion, she was worried she couldn't still send her manuscript because so many months had passed.
Upon hearing this, Rebecca said something that really stuck with me: The agent requested the material because the story interested her. Months may have passed, but she wanted to read it then and she'll want to read it even now. You're only helping yourself by ensuring that you send that agent your best possible work.
So while my WIP still isn't quite ready for agent eyes, it will be soon. And I know that if these agents pass, it's because the story needs work or because it's not the right book for them. It's not because I took the time to polish my manuscript. The real mistake would have been sending them a book that doesn't showcase the kind of awesome work I'm capable of.
I used Grammarly to grammar check this post because I don't have time to worry about split infinitives — I have a novel to write!

A series of disasters has displaced and killed millions of people. Distinguished panelists who are not afraid to voice radical viewpoints give us an update on the current situation in Haiti, the DR Congo, Pakistan and New Orleans. Two of these advocates, Ezili Danto of Haiti and Kambale Musavuli of the Congo, are well known to Bay View readers. Ezili (longtime readers will remember her as Marguerite Laurent) emphasizes the economic disparity in Haiti: Half of 1 percent of Haitians own 98 percent of the wealth.

A report from TIME has answered some questions about why the TV spot for their upcoming feature Brave, looks so beautifully animated. Their attention to details has always been fantastic earning them multiple Academy Award nominations and wins. This year seems to be no different with Brave not only being their first feature film which will feature a female lead but apparently the first film that Pixar has completely re-written their animation system for, for the first time in 25 years.
The story which is only available to full subscribers goes on to state that the animation technology they had for Toy Story was limited (hard to believe, those films looked amazing) which meant creating humans wasn't going to look as spectacular, so instead John Lasseter decided to make a story about toys because that's what the system could do effectively.
Brave Trailer 3 (Pixar) (HD)
It wasn't until 10 years after their first feature that they had humans as starring roles and now 8 years after The Incredibles they now have the technology to allow the realistic fiery hair that is needed for Merida in Brave. They re-wrote their complete system to allow the delivery of the impressive visuals that the story demands. Check out quotes from the story below:
Brave is being made with the first rewrite of Pixar's animation system in 25 years. Computer programs have always liked to make perfect geometric shapes that bounce against one another. (Hence movies about toys, robots and cars. Even Finding Nemo was mostly flat surfaces.) They're not as good at making long, wild, curly red hair that swooshes against pine trees and lichen-covered rocks. Brave is richer and more colourful than any previous computer-animated film.
When Walt Disney started, people didn't know how to make films. They were figuring out how to add color, how to sync sound. When Walt died, they stopped advancing the technology. And they also went downhill in their films. I think that's related.
Is this getting you even more excited to go see Brave?
Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In "Brave," a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida's actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it's too late.
Brave will be released in theatres on June 22nd, 2012.

Interview With Luis Jacob
Interview by
Timothée Chaillou
Résumé | Extrait
Luis Jacob, Yes, Album. Toronto-based artist Luis Jacob has emerged in the last decade as one of the most influential artists in Canada. Jacob's work takes as its subject the semantics of existence, perspective and social interaction. Inspired by a complex personal history and often deriving from research, his work encompasses photography, sculpture, video, installations and performance. Jacob is used to bringing together improbable referents, notably in his Albums, which are collections, of various images cut from published sources and assembled in plastic-laminate sheets. Imbued with a strong sense of "visual rhyming," the Albums use "existing cultural elements to expressively create new meaningful statements." Timothée Chaillou: In your work, what happens when two pictures are joined or juxtaposed? Luis Jacob: The "Albums" (2000-ongoing) consist of hundreds of images that have been excised from books and magazines, and assembled in plastic-laminate sheets to form narrative "image banks." The experience of reading an Album entails perceiving relationships between images that criss-cross various sheets in many directions. Each viewer creates narrative links between individual images by means of visual rhymes––when something in one image rhymes with something else in a different image––producing what Ruth Noack and Roger Buergel call a "migration of forms." The visual forms (colours, shapes, iconography) in one image begin to rhyme with those in adjacent images. This rhyming creates narrative sequences in the Album, as it seems to the viewer that a given form is "migrating"––appearing, reappearing and transforming––from image to image across several sheets. There is also a kind of "migration" that occurs at a higher level: in the interplay and correspondence between the forms of the artwork and the forms of the viewer's life-experience. T.C.: Do you recycle, appropriate or steal the images? L.J.: When I make an Album, I am recycling images that already exist,...

How Windows 8 can still be a success
It's pretty obvious by now that Windows 8 has been a flop. If you still believe that Windows 8 was a successful launch then you really are ignoring the facts and the sentiment by the tech community.
NY Times report on tepid Windows 8 sales
But I think Microsoft can still do well with this platform if they do a couple things:
- Come out with a $150 tablet device to steal the entry level user away from Android
- Release the Surface Pro at $399 with a contract for Microsoft Cloud Services
- Partner with OEMs to create flagship Windows 8 devices. The big problem with the platform right now is that their OEM partners don't really care about Windows 8 which is a sentiment that is constantly being echoed by Paul Thurott.
- Ramp up consumer applications for Kinect for Windows.

Newmarket mom arrested after children locked out in cold
Nicole Fahey, 29, of 33 Elm St., Apt. 3, was arrested on a warrant charging her with two counts of endangering the welfare of a child and two counts of possessing heroin.
The incident happened on Jan. 18 after the children, ages 6 and 10, returned home from school.
Police Chief Kevin Cyr said the children were outside crying when a neighbor saw them and called police. They were locked out of the apartment for more than hour when temperatures were about 10 degrees Fahrenheit, he said.
Officers did not locate Fahey until about 6 p.m. that evening. The drug charges were brought after officers went inside the apartment and saw heroin out in plain sight, according to Cyr.
Fahey still has custody of the children although the state Division of Children, Youth and Families is investigating, the chief said.
What's next:Fahey is to be arraigned March 5 in 10th Circuit Court, Brentwood District Division.

|Notes to Accounts
|Year End : Mar '13
General The South Indian Bank Limited (SIB) was incorporated on January 29, 1929 at Trichur as a private limited company and was later converted into a public limited company on August 11, 1939. SIB has a network of 750 branches in India and provides retail and corporate banking, para banking activities such as debit card, third party product distribution, in addition to Treasury and Foreign Exchange Business. SIB is governed by Banking Regulation Act, 1949 and other applicable Acts / Regulations. Its shares are listed in leading stock exchanges in India. Basis of Preparation The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with requirements prescribed under the Third Schedule of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The accounting and reporting policies of SIB used in the preparation of these financial statements conform to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in India (Indian GAAP), the guidelines issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) from time to time, the Accounting Standards (AS) issued by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI) and notified by the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006 as amended to the extent applicable and practices generally prevalent in the banking industry in India. The Bank follows the accrual method of accounting, and the historical cost convention, except where otherwise stated. The preparation of financial statements requires the management to make estimates and assumptions in the reported amounts of assets and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as of the date of the financial statement and the reported income and expenses during the reporting period. Management believes that the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements are prudent and reasonable. Actual results could differ from these estimates. 1. Derivatives The bank uses forward exchange contracts to hedge against its foreign currency exposures relating to the underlying transactions and firm commitments. The bank has not entered into any derivative instruments for trading / speculative purposes either in Foreign Exchange or domestic treasury operations. Bank does not have any Forward Rate Agreement or Interest Rate Swaps. 2. Details of Single Borrower Limit (SGL), Group Borrower Limit (GBL) exceeded by the bank During the current and previous year the bank had not sanctioned credit limits which were in excess of prudential exposure limits. 3.

The provision has been made in accordance with prudential norms on Income recognition, asset classification and provisioning pertaining to advances, in respect of non-performing advances and investments and a special dispensation issued by Reserve Bank of India (RBI) vide their letter No. DBS (T) No.674/02.05.06/2012-13 dated December 31, 2012, for an advance of Rs. 150.00 Crore. Accordingly, the bank has recognized a provision of Rs. 90.00 Crore up to March 31, 2013 in respect of the above advance and the remaining provision is proposed to be made as permitted by RBI taking in to account the outcome of ongoing negotiations for settlement with the borrower. 2. Includes Wealth Tax Rs. 0.02 Crore (Rs.. 0.02 Crore) 3. The bank has adopted a board resolution that it has no intention to make withdrawal from the special reserve created and maintained under Section 36(1)(viii) of the Income Tax Act , the special reserve created and maintained is not capable of being reversed and thus it becomes a permanent difference. Accordingly the bank does not create any deferred tax liability on the said reserve and has reversed the deferred tax liability amounting to Rs. 9.82 Crore created during earlier years. 4. Draw Down from Reserves In accordance with Reserve Bank of India guidelines, an amount net of taxes and net of transfer to statutory reserves of Rs. 5.69 Crore (Previous Year Rs. 7.13 Crore), has been drawn from Investment Reserve Account and credited to Profit and Loss account to the extent of provisions made during the year towards depreciation in investments in AFS and HFT categories.

During the year ended 31.03.2011, the Bank had re-opened the pension option for those employees who had joined the Bank prior to 29th September 1995 and had not opted for the pension scheme earlier. Consequently, 2217 employees had exercised their option for the pension scheme and the bank has incurred an extra liability of Rs. 135.13 Crore. Further, during the year ended 31.03.2011, the limit of gratuity payable to the employees of the bank was also enhanced from Rs.3.50 Lakhs to Rs.10.00 Lakhs, pursuant to the amendment to the Payment of Gratuity Act, 1972. As a result, the gratuity liability of the Bank has increased by Rs. 21.40 Crore. The extra cost of pension and gratuity to employees works out to Rs. 156.53 Crore. In terms of the requirements of the Accounting Standard (AS) 15, Employee Benefits, the entire amount of Rs. 156.53 Crore is required to be charged to the Profit and loss account for the year ended 31.03.201 1. However, in accordance with the circular issued by Reserve Bank of India vide reference number DBOD.BP.BC.80/21.04.018/2010-11 dated February 9, 2011, and made applicable to our bank vide DBOD No.BP.BC.15896/21.04.018/2010-11 dated April 8, 2011, the Bank would amortize the amount of Rs.156.53 Crore over a period of five years. During the current year 2012-13, bank has amortized an amount of Rs. 33.59 Crore (Rs.. 28.74 Crore towards pension and Rs. 4.85 Crore towards gratuity) and balance unamortized amount to be carried forward as on 31.03.2013 is Rs. 50.72 Crore. Had the above circular been not issued by the RBI, Net profit of the Bank for the year would have been higher by Rs. 22.69 Crore pursuant to the application of AS 15 and the reserve would have been lower by Rs. 50.72 Crore. Notes: (i) Discount rate is based on the prevailing market yields of Indian Government securities as at the balance sheet date for the estimated term of obligations. (ii) Expected rate of return on plan assets is based on the average long term rate of return expected on investments of the funds during the estimated term of the obligations. (iii) The estimates of future salary increases, considered in actuarial valuation, take account the inflation, seniority, promotion and other relevant factors. h) Compensation for absence on Privilege / Sick / Casual Leave The charge on account of compensation for privilege / sick / casual leave, has been actuarially determined and a charge of Rs. 10.97 Crore (Previous year write-back of Rs. 2.55 Crore) has been debited to Profit and Loss account. (Note: The above information is as certified by Actuary and relied upon by Auditors.) 6. The Bank has not received any intimation from Suppliers regarding their status under the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Development Act, 2006 and hence disclosures, if any, relating to amounts unpaid as at the year-end together with interest paid/payable as required under the said Act have not been given. 7. Tier II Bonds Lower Tier II Bonds outstanding as at March 31, 2013 is Rs. 265.00 Crore (Previous Year Rs. 265.00 Crore). Amount reckoned for Tier II Capital as per RBI guidelines is Rs. 200.00 Crore (Previous Year Rs. 213.00 Crore). 8. Disclosures on Remuneration (a) Information relating to the composition and mandate of the Remuneration Committee. The Board of Directors of Bank through the Compensation and Remuneration Committee (CRC) of the Board oversee the framing, review and implementation of compensation policy.

The CRC also ensures that the cost/income ratio of the Bank supports the remuneration package consistent with maintenance of sound capital adequacy ratio. - With respect to the performance linked incentive schemes, the CRC is empowered to: a.

On completion of the year, finalize the criteria of allotment of marks to ensure objectivity/equity. - The CRC also functions as the Compensation Committee as prescribed under the SEBI (Employee Stock Option Scheme and Employee Stock Purchase Scheme) Guidelines, 1999 and is empowered to formulate detailed terms and conditions of the scheme, administer, supervise the same and to allot shares in compliance with the guidelines and other applicable laws. - To obtain necessary clearances and approvals from regulatory authorities, appoint merchant bankers and do such other things as may be necessary in respect of the Employees Stock Option Scheme. - To oversee the administration of employee benefits, such as, provident fund, pension fund, gratuity, compensation for absence on privilege/sick/casual leave etc., which are recognized in accordance with Accounting Standard-15 (revised) specified in the Companies (Accounting Standards) Rules, 2006. - The CRC may suggest amendments to any stock option plans or incentive plans, provided that all amendments to such plans shall be subject to consideration and approval of the Board; - Any other matters regarding remuneration to WTDs/MD&CEO and other staffs of the Bank as and when permitted by the Board. - To conduct the annual review of the Compensation Policy - To fulfill such other powers and duties as may be delegated to it by the Board. (b) Information relating to the design and structure of remuneration processes and the key features and objectives of remuneration policy. The Bank has formed the compensation policy based on the Reserve Bank of India guidelines vide its circular no. DBOD.No.BC.72/29.67.001/2011-12 dtd. 13/01/2012. The fixed remuneration and other allowances including retirement benefits of all subordinate, clerical and officers up to the rank of General Manager (Scale VII) is governed by the industry level wage settlement under Indian Banks Association (IBA) pattern. In respect of officers above the cadre of General Manager, the fixed remuneration is fixed by Board/Committee. Further, the compensation structure for the Whole Time Directors (WTDs)/ Managing Director & Chief Executive Officers (MD & CEO) of the bank are subject to approval of Reserve Bank of India in terms of Section 35 B of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949. The payment of compensation also requires approval of the shareholders of the Bank in the General Meeting pursuant to Clause 95 of Articles of Association of the Bank read with the Section 309 (1) of the Companies Act, 1956. (c) Description of the ways in which current and future risks are taken into account in the remuneration processes. It should include the nature and type of the key measures used to take account of these risks. The Board of Directors through the CRC shall exercise oversight and effective governance over the framing and implementation of the Compensation policy. Human Resource Management under the guidance of MD & CEO shall administer the compensation and Benefit structure in line with the best suited practices and statutory requirements as applicable. (d) Description of the ways in which the bank seeks to link performance during a performance measurement period with levels of remuneration and a discussion of the bank''s policy on deferral and vesting of variable remuneration and a discussion of the bank''s policy and criteria for adjusting deferred remuneration before vesting and after vesting. The factors taken in to account for the annual review and revision in the variable pay and performance bonus are: - The performance of the Bank - The performance of the business unit - Individual performance of the employee, - Other risk perceptions and economic considerations Further, the Bank has not identified any employee as risk taker for the purpose of variable pay under this compensation policy. (e) Description of the different forms of variable remuneration (i.e. cash, shares, ESOPs and other forms) that the bank utilizes and the rationale for using these different forms. - Variable pay means the compensation as fixed by the Board on recommendation of the Committee, which is based on the performance appraisal of an employee in that role, that is, how well they accomplish their goals. It may be paid as: i. Performance Linked Incentives to those employees who are eligible for incentives. ii. Ex-gratia for other employees who are not eligible for Performance linked Incentives. iii. Bonus for those staff members who are eligible for bonus under the Payment of Bonus Act, 1965 iv. Any other incentives, by whatever name called having the features similar to the above. - Where the variable pay constitutes a substantial portion of the fixed pay, i.e. 50% or more, an appropriate portion of the variable pay, i.e. 40% will be deferred for over a period of 3 years. - In case of deferral arrangements of variable pay, the deferral period shall not be less than three years. Compensation payable under deferral arrangements shall vest no faster than on a pro rata basis. - The Board may adopt principles similar to that enunciated for WTDs/CEOs, as appropriate, for variable pay-timing, malus/clawback, guaranteed bonus and hedging. - Employee Stock Option Scheme/Employee Stock Option Plan as may be framed by the Board from time to time in conformity with relevant statutory provisions and SEBI guidelines as applicable, will be excluded from the components of variable pay. 9. Other Assets includes Rs. 5.12 Crore representing expenses incurred in relation to the Qualified Institutional Placement (QIP) issue of equity shares in excess of the amount permissible under Section 13 of the Banking Regulation Act, 1949.

text: The White House hosted thousands of children for the annual Easter Egg Roll on Monday. The 135th annual event attracted some 30,000 visitors to the south lawn. Along with an Easter Egg Roll, the biggest White House gathering of the year also featured sports and entertainment stars as well as a variety of games. The First Lady used the massive gathering to urge kids to exercise as well as learn a little something about healthy eating.President Obama, meanwhile, struggled with his jump shot at the event. He joined in a shoot around with professionals from the NBA,WNBA, and kids from the Egg Roll. But the rim was unkind to the President, with all but two of nearly two dozen shots missing. A ten-year-old boy was called in to show the President how it's done. The boy sunk his layup easily. The President then salvaged his field goal percentage by making a layup of his own. White House spokesman, Jay Carney, says Mr. Obama is actually a pretty good shot, but he doesn't get to practice as much as he'd like to.

Ok, but what about the part where it isn't applicable (or reasonable) to judge these thoughtless folks (and their thought process) by modern standards?<quoted text>
MY thoughtful process has allowed me to arrive to a place where I can declare my basis for religious belief is faith, not reason.
Others claim their basis for religious belief is reason (MUQ is a perfect example of that, and sometimes Huggy).
You and I, using modern standards reject that type of logical thinking as it is not really logical (according to our modern standards). Therefore their position is thoughtless (I am equating illogic to thoughtless - because if they ever thought their position through they would realize their basis is faith not reason).
Thats all I meant to say or imply.
Doesn't their internal logic/personal experiences make it ok for them to think and believe in the way they do?

CHATTANOOGA, TN. (Times Free Press) -- Before light creeps over Enterprise South Nature Park early Monday morning, hunters will have their bows in hand.
They have been ready since this summer, when hundreds of Tennesseans applied to participate in the decades-old annual deer hunt.
And this year, no one is trying to keep their arrows from flying.
The 2011 fall deer hunt at Enterprise South was hotly protested by people opposed to does and bucks being killed in the new nature park. But this year, the lawyer who represented that group said she will not be involved in any action to prevent the hunts.

Jared Sullinger profile
Sullinger may not carry himself like a star, but there's no denying that he is one. NBA scouts who attend Ohio State's games dote on his athleticism, strength and versatility. "He's not a one-dimensional guy," one scout said. "He can score better than you think he can from the outside, he rebounds with high energy on both ends, and he's a lot bouncier and nimble than his body type may suggest." A different scout said that, along with Sullinger's size, his biggest strength is his "basketball IQ." He recognizes when to set screens, he has a feel for where his teammates are going to be on the court and he understands different offensive and defensive schemes.

LEXINGTON, Ky (9/14/2013)— Mayor Jim Gray today thanked Governor Steve Beshear for sending Lexington an additional $556,000 to pave the way to completion of the long-delayed Tates Creek Road sidewalks.
"For far too long, there's been a dangerous footpath instead of sidewalks along Tates Creek. Thanks to Governor Beshear and these funds, pedestrians and especially people with disabilities will now have a real path instead of a dirt path to walk on," Gray said.
Councilmember Bill Farmer said, "This project is so much more exciting than the mere term 'sidewalk' would cover. Lexington is highly interested in active lifestyles. People are telling me they can't wait to use them." Farmer and fellow District Councilmembers Julian Beard and Diane Lawless participated in today's news conferences. The sidewalks pass through areas they represent.
The sidewalks will cost a total of $1.7 million and will be funded through a combination of federal, state and local funds. The sidewalks are 5 feet wide and will stretch 1.6 miles along each side of Tates Creek, from near McMeekin Place to the Lansdowne Shops.
The project will also bring traffic signal safety improvements, including countdown pedestrian signals at each intersection. In addition, Alumni Drive, Albany Road and Dove Run Road will get audible pedestrian signals. And concrete pads will be added for bus shelters and benches, making public transit more convenient.
The sidewalks will give pedestrians greater access to churches, neighborhoods and shops along Tates Creek, as well as to the University Of Kentucky campus, Commonwealth Stadium and the Arboretum.
"It is a great honor to have been a part of this project from its early advocacy stage to completion," said Vice Mayor Linda Gorton, who previously served as a district councilmember in the area. "The Lansdowne, Shadeland Community, Zandale, Glendover, Blueberry Hills, and Southern Heights neighborhoods were the force that kept it moving forward as they recognized the benefit of improved connectivity and transportation along Tates Creek."
Construction on the sidewalks began in mid-August and will conclude next spring, after breaking for winter weather. During the construction all inbound traffic lanes on Tates Creek will remain open during the morning rush hour and outbound lanes will be open during the evening rush hour.
"The new sidewalks on Tates Creek are going to improve the safety for all who walk along the corridor, including children, seniors and people who are disabled," said Keith Lovan, city project manager. "These sidewalks are going to be a huge asset for Lexington and were a wise investment to Lexington's public infrastructure."
Bluegrass Contracting Corporation is the contractor on the project.

The U.S. Department of Defense is giving the go-ahead to all active-duty military personnel to wear their uniform to march in a gay pride parade in San Diego on Saturday, the first time such approval has been given in the United States.
Defense Department officials are under a Justice Department order to preserve all e-mails and documents that may be related to the ongoing investigation into leaks to the news media of national security information, a senior Pentagon official confirmed Monday.
The Department of Defense announced Thursday that it will be commemorating lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender pride later this month. The event will be the first of its kind for the Pentagon.
The GOP-controlled House of Representatives on Friday passed a nearly $643 billion military spending bill -- a measure at odds with prior defense spending agreements and President Barack Obama's Pentagon plans.
The United States is at a strategic inflection point. The choices we make now will have an enormous effect on our national security for decades. The war in Iraq has ended, and we have begun a transition in Afghanistan that will lead to a smaller American commitment in 2014 and beyond. On the horizon, we can see the end of a decade of war.
U.S. Defense Department officials debated how to dispose of more than 1,000 fragments that could have included human remains from the September 11 attack on the Pentagon before they ended up in a Delaware landfill, according to newly released internal documents.
The U.S. Defense Department cannot account for about $2 billion it was given to cover Iraq-related expenses and is not providing Iraq with a complete list of U.S.-funded reconstruction projects, according to two new government audits.
The Air Force Academy is charging three cadets with sexual assault just a week after a Department of Defense report found a sharp increase in the report of such attacks at the nation's military academies.
Sexual assaults at the nation's military academies increased sharply in the last academic year, according to a new report from the Department of Defense.
When children of American servicemembers who are living with their parents overseas go back to school after the holidays, the Grinch will be waiting for them in the cafeteria.
The military took a big step forward in the pursuit of speedy strike capability with the successful test of a hypersonic speed weapon, one designed to travel five times the speed of sound for long distances.
The Pentagon's own watchdog is warning that defense contracts are potential problems, just as the national political debate swirls around the possibility of shrinking the military and its high-priced weapons.
In 2010 alone, there were roughly 1,100 attacks on U.S. fuel convoys. This has cost the men and women of our armed forces dearly.
Five years after a law to protect U.S. military personnel from salespeople selling life insurance, a new Pentagon report finds problems continue.
For one day, at least, you can call off the cyberwar.
CIA Director Leon Panetta, the president's pick to be the next secretary of defense, has been meeting with senior Department of Defense leaders to prepare for this week's confirmation hearing, the Pentagon said Monday.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might. Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil. (Ephesians 6:10–11)
Almighty God, You are our all-powerful and invincible Lord. None can overcome You. None can stand against You. How we need You, especially when the battle against evil rages! Thank You for standing by our side, for being our strong shield and defender. We have no strength in ourselves. We face an adversary far more powerful, more brilliant, and more experienced than we. The enemy stands firmly against us, ready to attack at every weak point. We know that our enemy will not let up, that he will fight to the bitter end. And so, with confidence, we want to put on and wear the whole armor of God . . . and, in Your strength alone, we can resist the wicked forces that desire to bring us down.
Give us new hope, Lord—hope that we can one day get beyond the struggle raging for our lives. We look forward to that day soon when Christ will once and for all win the victory that already belongs to Him because of the cross. Encourage us with the thought that, in Christ, we triumph! In His victorious name we pray. Amen.
See also Luke 4:13; 2 Corinthians 4:16–18; Ephesians 4:26–27; 1 Peter 5:8–10.
Christ will soon win once and for all the victory that already belongs to Him. —Chuck Swindoll Tweet This

For all the hype, the New York Jets have not moved the needle much this season.
The Week 5 edition of "Monday Night Football," a Jets defeat at the hands of the undefeated Texans, earned a 10.0 overnight rating on ESPN — down 12% from Bears/Lions last year (11.3), and down 18% from Vikings/Jets in 2010 (12.2).
The 10.0 overnight is the lowest for "MNF" since the Week 1 doubleheader games drew overnights of 8.1 and 7.9. In addition, the 10.0 is the lowest for a Week 5 "MNF" telecast since Jets/Dolphins drew the same number in 2009.
So far this season, the Jets have been featured in three NFL telecast windows — the Week 2 national window on CBS (Jets/Steelers in 82% of markets), the Week 4 regional window on FOX (49ers/Jets in 58% of markets) and Monday's game. Only one of the three games managed an increase in overnight ratings over last year — the Week 4 telecast, which was up 5%.
Monday's game drew a 34.4 rating in Houston (12.0 on ESPN, 22.4 on local affiliate) and a 13.8 in New York (9.5 on ESPN, 4.3 on local affiliate). Las Vegas (18.4) led all neutral markets.

As a Panthers fan, one of the best treats we get to enjoy every year is seeing Carolina's rookie class entertain the children at the Levine Children's Hospital in Charlotte by dressing up in full Halloween garb and embarrassing themselves for a good cause.
If you've been anxiously awaiting that to happen this year, then today is your lucky day. The Panthers sent their rookies out to the hospital for some fun time with the kids today, and they have a photo gallery of all the players in their costumes on Panthers.com. Instead of posting every picture from the event, I'll just link the photo gallery to the team site so you can check it out there.
While it certainly is fun to make fun of the players for looking ridiculous, let's not lose the real reason the team does this: to spread good will and cheer to those who are down on their luck in the community. This event is always a big hit with the kids and parents who are visited, and it's always refreshing to see examples of how community driven the Panthers are. Kudos to the organization for continuing to do this every year, because it's one thing that we can all look forward to and enjoy.
What's your favorite costume this year? I'd have to say mine is Star Lotulelei as a big yellow chicken, with Edmund Kugbila as what I'm going to call Sumo Elvis being a close second.

And as any dedicated cook would say, he wouldn't have it any other way.
This is a very easy recipe to make, and one that lends itself well to tweaking to your personal tastes (a few chocolate chips here, a few walnuts there). For me, though, I'll take it plain and piping hot right out of the oven. OK, maybe 5 minutes out of the oven.
Keep reading for the recipe.
And check out more photos of this recipe coming together here.
- 1 3/4 cups sifted flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup shortening (sometimes I add a bit more because it can stick to the measuring cup)
- 2/3 cups sugar
- 2 eggs, well-beaten
- 1 full cup mashed bananas (full, full :)
1) Sift together flour, baking powder, soda and salt. Beat shortening until creamy.
2) Add sugar gradually and continue beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.
3) Add flour mixture alternately with bananas, beating after each addition.
4) Turn into well-greased loaf pan and bake uncovered at 350F for about one hour and ten minutes.
5) Test with toothpick to check if it's done. Toothpick should come out clean.

There was a time during Gus Margiotta's time at Gloucester High School that he considered football to be his main athletic focus.
A two-time Super Bowl champion with the Fishermen that also competed on the school's track and field teams, Margiotta was locked into his football career as an underclassman at Gloucester.
During his junior year, though, things changed for him. After placing third in the shotput at the state outdoor meet at the end of his junior season, Margiotta finally realized his throwing ability could be something that carried him beyond high school.
That shifted focus paid quick dividends, and after graduating from Gloucester in 2010, Margiotta found himself in Flagstaff, Ariz., as a member of Northern Arizona University's track and field teams.
"Up until my junior year, I was football all the way. I didn't want to do anything else," Margiotta said. "I've always loved throwing, but when I really noticed that it's something that I should pursue was at the end of my junior year. I'd gotten third at the all state championships and everyone else there was going to Rutgers, going to Louisville, so I thought, 'I should try this out.'"
With that increased focus on his throwing, Margiotta quickly began to raise collegiate coaches' eyebrows. What finally led him to Flagstaff was a trip to the Ironwood Throwers Camp in Spokane, Wash., during his senior year in high school.
A friend of his at the camp was being recruited by Northern Arizona, and mentioned to the coach that Margiotta was looking for a landing spot.
Shortly thereafter, Margiotta contacted the Lumberjacks via email, and within 20 minutes, he got a response and got the ball rolling toward his eventual college career.
It's been an up-and-down experience thus far for Margiotta at Northern Arizona. The transition from high school to the collegiate ranks is a difficult one for shot-putters, who go from throwing a 12-pound shotput to a 16-pounder.

Resolving 'Bad Request Error 400′ in Gmail on Chrome
I periodically come across the "Bad Request Error 400″ problem when using Gmail on Google Chrome. I'm not the only one as you can see from a Google search on the topic. One minute all is well and the next, reload after reload all you see is a blank page and this error message. You haven't changed anything but things just don't work anymore. If you try accessing Gmail on a different browser like Firefox, everything seems good, so it's not Gmail itself; it's the combination of Gmail and Chrome.
It seems quite ridiculous really that this issue should happen on Chrome. Shouldn't Gmail on Chrome be essentially bulletproof? Google on Google. C'mon.
When looking for answers the most common suggestion you'll find is to clear all of your browsing data; history, cache, cookies, etc. I happen to like my browsing data. Among other things, it helps me find things and allows me to stay logged in on various sites. Deleting it all causes me pain.
After searching through various sites and the Gmail and Chrome forums I finally found a great solution. It turns out deleting all of your browsing data is not necessary. This problem comes down to one solitary cookie. Delete this cookie and life is good again.
How to resolve the Bad Request Error 400 in Gmail
Here are the exact instructions.
- Right click on the page with the error
- Select "Inspect Element" from the right click menu
- Select the "Resources" tab at the top of the Developer Tools pane or window that opens up
- Expand the "Cookies" section on the left side navigation by clicking on the little triangle next to "Cookies"
- Select the "mail.google.com" cookie
- Right click on "GMAIL_IMP"
- Select "Delete"
- Refresh the error page

The main claim to fame of the Rib Room is that it does British food well and it undoubtedly scores in that respect. The Classics on the menu looked a little staid to us but the Seasonal dishes seemed to offer imagination and contrasting flavours so we went for the latter. The food is extremely well done – great flavours and very well presented. Nothing too risky though – this is cooking which oozes grace and style but not off the wall genius. The atmosphere is quite relaxed – smart but not overbearing. Being a hotel restaurant, no doubt some of the diners were guests who had popped down for something to eat. I liked the split level effect in the dining room and the arm chairs were extremely comfortable. Service is very attentive – if erring towards being overly so: restaurants need to realise that allowing a guest's water glass to be empty is not a capital offence!! The lady sommelier was very helpful. The Tablet wine list was a good idea but even greater ability to search against price and country/varietal would improve it further. The one downside is the price. £58 for 3 courses is pretty steep and without any amuse-bouche or pre-dessert. It was also the first time I've seen a 15% service charge in London. But for special occasions (as ours was) the Rib Room delivers the goods.

MOREAU, N.Y. - The Mount McGregor Correctional Facility is set to close by July of next year but legislators and the folks who work at the prison are not letting it go without a fight.
More than 100 correctional workers and union officials gathered outside the Mount McGregor Correctional Facility Wednesday morning to fight for their jobs.
In July of this year, the New York State Department of Corrections announced they will be closing four prisons over the next year - Mount McGregor in Saratoga County is one of them. They claim it will save tax payers $30 million annually and because of a reduction in the state crime rate there is no longer a need to keep the prisons open.
However facility workers and legislators who joined them on Wednesday disagree. They say just because the population of the prison is lower now doesn't mean it will stay that way.
In the past, the facility has been filled to capacity with inmates having to double and triple bunk in rooms. They also say it will be a public safety issue if other prisons become more crowded because of these closures.
Also on the chopping block are jobs. Over 300 employees will have to transfer to different facilities or lose their job.
The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said in a statement, "The organizers of today's event either have no knowledge of current law, or are intentionally ignoring key facts in order to score cheap political points. New York's crime rate continues to decline, the inmate population continues to shrink, and taxpayers cannot afford to continue to pay for empty prison beds. "
Legislators were at the prison to introduce a bill asking for more transparency when discussion like this closures are made.
