The city police have launched an accident case investigation into the death of M.R. Pradeep Kumar, an employee of the Doordarshan Kendra, near Peroorkada, on Saturday night.
A senior official said the police would primarily investigate the allegation that Pradeep Kumar, who was riding a motorbike, sustained fatal injuries when a member of a mobile patrol vehicle pulled him down from his moving vehicle.
He said there were conflicting versions to the incident. A local trader, who was arrested a few days earlier on the charge of drunken driving, had testified that he had seen policemen pull Pradeep Kumar from the motorbike. The police version was that another motorbike had knocked down Pradeep Kumar's two wheeler and sped away. He said the police would take action, if necessary, on the basis of the probe report.

Future of Nursing Initiative
THURSDAY, June 21 (HealthDay News) -- The globus pallidus interna (GPi) and subthalamic nucleus (STN) are both viable deep brain stimulation (DBS) targets for the treatment of motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson's disease, providing stable improvements over 36 months, according to a study published online June 20 in Neurology.
To compare long-term outcomes of DBS, Frances M. Weaver, Ph.D., from the Loyola University Stritch School of Medicine in Maywood, Ill., and colleagues randomly assigned patients with Parkinson's disease to receive either DBS of the GPi (89 patients) or STN (70 patients). Motor function was evaluated using the Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale motor subscale.
The researchers found that motor function improved significantly over 36 months for GPi (41.1 to 27.1) and STN (42.5 to 29.7). Improvements were stable over time and did not vary between the targets. At six months, health-related quality of life improved significantly on all subscales, but the improvement decreased over time. There was a significantly faster decline in the Mattis Dementia Rating Scale scores for the STN group than the GPi group; gradual decline was seen in other neurocognitive measures.
"Our findings indicate that GPi and STN are both viable DBS targets for treatment of motor symptoms, but highlight the importance of nonmotor symptoms as determinants of quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to medical device and pharmaceutical companies, including Medtronic, which funded the study.

I volunteered at HASK while I attended General Seminary which is several blocks away on Ninth Ave. I found the experience to be very positive. Their guests are indeed treated as guests. The process of serving lunch is very well organized. They train and support their volunteers well. I no longer live in NYC, but I will forever use HASK as the standard when looking at other soup kitchens.

Unexpected City Stop
We had a late arrival in St Louis after the drive through Kentucky, Indiana and Illinois on on I 64. We decided that this city is someplace that we would like to visit again.
Drove through a few different neighborhoods making a few stops along the way. The city is clean and people seemed friendly.
Unfortunately a giant rain storm just …

I brought a blanket to cover him with which seemed to help him calm down while we waited at the gate and while he was stuffed under my seat. Max was a champion flyer. He hardly made a peep the whole trip and once we got to Saint Louis, he explored all crevices of my mom's car while we ...
Exploring St. Louis!
... like we are having today.
Nuff said! Not going up.
We did get some good photos from below though!
We went back to camp to wait for Kellie to get out of class and got hit by a huge storm.
It wasn't there, then it was windy, then it rained, REALLY HARD, then it was gone!
We finally made it to Maryville University, Met Kellie's roommate, and her boyfriend John. We had a fun evening, but forgot to take anymore photos :-(
On the road again!
We made it! We escaped Hotel California!!!
We did a lot of driving today. I felt like we had escaped from prison and had to run as far as possible so they couldn't come and get us and haul us back! Phew!!!
We saw some beautiful country again today. We even got to cross the Mighty Mississippi River!

What went down at the pumpkin patch 2011
Posted Oct 24 2011 1:42pm
It's that time of year again.
Time for my family to invade a nearby pumpkin patch. We have to switch it up every year...you'll know why if you've read any of my posts from
prior pumpkin patch visits
This year, I was insistent on getting one decent picture of all 4 kids together so I could send out Christmas cards this year (instead of being that one lazy-ass friend who couldn't have been bothered).
The picture below was my first attempt.
Doesn't it just scream "Christmas card photo"....what with Bella and her fake smile, Garrett looking as if he's desperately trying not to fart, Cole with his pumpkin rolling off his head and Landon who looks as if he just found out the awful truth that he's not adopted.
We stumbled upon this lovely little group of pumpkins immediately upon arriving at the patch.
Garrett announced, "Hey, look...4 pumpkins, just like us!"
Bella was quick to squish his excitement, "No, there's 6 of us in our family!"
He argued, "Yeah, but we have 4 kids and so do they!"
Never one to let someone else have the last word, she argued back, "How do you know these are the kids? Where are the parents?"
Garrett responded, "Pumpkins don't have parents...DUH!"
The fun didn't end there, people.
Then they spent the next 5 minutes arguing over whether the bumpy pumpkin had a horrific case of warts or was just simply growing baby pumpkins on its skin....because that's how pumpkins procreate, in case you weren't aware.
Another potential Christmas card photo gone wrong, with Cole looking as if he's attempting to give birth to a pumpkin...out of his ass.
And Landon, who was trying to come up with yet another reason why it was okay for him to keep the watch that he found in the parking lot, even though I told him some poor kid had lost it and would be crying for days.
Yeah, here's another one, except I'm missing a kid...and didn't realize it until AFTER I took the picture.
What does that say about me as a mother? Uh, that was a rhetorical question, people.
In the farm area of the pumpkin patch, we spotted a mama goat with her babies. I felt bad for her as she kept trying to get her babies' attention.
I would imagine she was saying, "Yo, don't go near those little humans. Not only do they have strange looking eyes but they're covered in germs and snot. Now, come here and eat this lovely bale of hay that I've lovingly prepared for you."
And this is when I realized I could learn a lot from this mama goat. She pretty much said, "To hell with you, you little ungrateful goats...I'm gonna eat my lunch."
Screw Dr. Phil and all his worldly advice.
Say it with me, friends...another horrible Christmas card photo opp.
Not only did I shoot this picture from the wrong direction resulting in everyone's face being dark and shadowed but instead of standing near his beloved siblings, Cole is trying to hide a stick behind his back...which he intended on using to swat his sister in the back of the head shortly after the picture was taken.
Nothing says "Merry Christmas...we hope you have a peaceful holiday season with your loved ones" more than a young lad torturing his twin sister with a sharp object.
And this is also when I realized that Landon was now wearing the watch that I had told him to turn in to one of the workers at the pumpkin patch. Where's his freakin' Christmas spirit?
What could possibly be inside this little shack in the middle of the corn field that had other kids running away in fright?
You think my kids were afraid?
Hell no...after witnessing a gaggle of small children practically stumbling over one another to get away from the shack, mine were running towards it with excitement.
Inside the shack, lives a scary werewolf who howls at little children and bares his sharp, bloodstained teeth.
Or, as my kids referred to it, "Hey guys, look. It's Mommy when she gets mad at us!"
I just love Bella and her "queen of the world" pose in this next picture.
Every girl needs a brother who has her back...unless of course it's to shove her IN the back off of a tall haystack so he can have center stage for once.
Obviously, this pic won't be making the Christmas card either.
This next pic may actually be included on the Christmas card, only because I love Landon's pose, as if he's saying to himself, "I really really really wish I was adopted because the thought of being part of this family for the rest of my life makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty fork".
And he's still wearing that damn watch!
This little guy...well, I guess he's not so little...waddled his way over to us and wanted the kids to pet him.
Yeah, a turkey who likes to be touched by young children. But I guess if you knew you were going out with a bang as the main meal on someone's Thanksgiving dinner table, you'd want to live it up while you could too.
This sweet, unsuspecting bunny got passed around from kid to kid to kid to kid...it was a never-ending circle of snotty-nosed kids crying, "I wanna hold the bunny".
The poor bunny finally closed its eyes and pretended to fall asleep, which just confirms for me that rabbits are rather stupid.
The kids mistakenly assumed that the bunny was enjoying all the attention, resulting in the torture session being even more prolonged than necessary.
But then again, rabbits don't have the luxury of high-tailing it to the laundry room, where they can lock themselves inside with a tall glass of wine and tune out the outside world.
Notice there are no small whiny kids in this next picture...or animals...or even an unhappy, miserable husband who was threatened with his life if he didn't accompany his blessed family on a fun outing to the pumpkin patch.
Nope. Just an endless field of beautiful sunflowers, where I sat for a good 10 minutes...while my family was off in the near distance creating a chaotic mess of noise.
And I thought...in my next life I want to come back as this sunflower.
After sitting in that field of flowers and being one with nature, I felt an overwhelming sense of calmness and peace.
Not even the kids playing in the large pumpkin containers could shake me out of my zen state of mind.
Don't be surprised if the above picture ends up making the front of our Christmas card.
Yes, I'm perfectly aware (this time) that one kid is missing from the picture and that no one is posing, flashing a beautiful, flawless smile.
But that's so us. That's my family...imperfect, unbalanced and completely chaotic. I wouldn't want it any other way.
And so, my friends, that is what went down at the pumpkin patch this year.
Oh and Landon did end up turning the watch in...and it's a good thing because the family of the child who had lost the watch had come back looking for it. Guess my boy does have the Christmas spirit after all. At least one of them does.

SE drain digging resumes
Digging has resumed for controversial drain extension work in the upper south-east of South Australia.
Opponents of the Didicoolum drain lost another court bid yesterday to stop digging.
The Environment and Resources Development Court said no case had been made to delay the project further.
Digging has resumed on the property Kyeema, owned by Sue and Dean Prosser.
A landholder at Keith, Michael Allen, is among a handful of protesters watching the excavation work.
"They have a total of four excavators and a bulldozer working on the drain proper," he said.
"There's local members of the police force here making sure no-one puts themselves at risk and everything is conducted in an orderly manner."
The decision to continue digging has been applauded by a number of landholders.
Farmer Charlie Bruce says some upper south-east properties have huge salinity problems and need the drainage work urgently.
"The people trying to stop the drains seem to think they've got the right for us to receive the tail water and we've got no right to dispose of it," he said.
"The country where we all live it's always been slightly saline but it's just going backwards all the time.
"We've had a reprieve during this drought but as soon as it gets wet again and the ground water comes up we'll be in a hell of a mess."
Opponents of the drain extension say they are yet to exhaust all their legal options.
Conservationist James Darling says there are concerns that the contractors could be guilty of illegal clearing.
He says that matter will be taken up tomorrow with the Native Vegetation Council.
"It says only four trees are going to be knocked over by this 30-odd metre trench and spoil banks that are going to be carved through the Prosser's place and we can't see how it can be limited to only four trees," he said.

Recipe: Salsa Fresca with Lime
I love summer for all of the fresh produce! I always try to plant a garden so most of the summer we are enjoying the fruits of our labor, but it is still too early for me to be harvesting much of our own produce. Thankfully the more southern parts of the country are already harvesting some delicious tomatoes and peppers, so I decided to whip up a delicious fresh salsa.
If your only experience has been with the jars of salsa you buy at the store, you MUST, MUST, MUST try a fresh salsa. Once you do, it will be hard to go back! And it just so happens I have a delicious recipe for you to start with. For you fresh salsa veterans, I would love to have your feedback!
So what do you need:
Refreshing Frozen Strawberry Limeade (Sugar Free)
I teased this recipe last week over on the Facebook page, and everyone was so excited that I thought I'd better hurry up and post it sooner rather than later!
I aim to please after all, LOL.
With the weather getting warmer around the country, and the recent reintroduction to blended fruit drinks from a nice friend of mine who came to my house and made me one, (seriously, how nice was she?) I'm just full of fun low calorie, low carb, sugar free drink ideas! There will be more, don't you worry!
Ok, so on to the good stuff.

The spec of rotation of shaft 2 is, however, to be such that the number of makes and breaks in the circuit to the lamps, or in other words, the number of interruptions of current in the lamp circuit-is to be greater per second than is moved outwardly and decreased as it is the luminous intensit the eye can appreciateI Now suppose the arm 30 to be swung outwardly by turning its shaft 22, so that the center line of said arm comes to the position b" Fig. 1. Then the eriod of time during which circuit is made to the lamps is somewhat reduced, and is represented by the distance in are a, I), while the period during which the circuit is broken, represented by the distance in are b c is greatly increased. On the other hand, if the arm be swung inwardly so that the center line of said arm comes to the position b then the period of time during which circuit is made to the lamps is somewhat increased and is represented by the distance in are a 5, while the period during which the circuit is broken represented by the distance in are l) c is greatly decreased. In other words, as the arm is swung on its shaft the relation of the periods of make and break is altered, the break periods being increased as the arm moved inwardly.
In practice the arm 30 is moved to its outermost osition and the speed of the shaft 2 is regu low thus indicating that although the rea in the circuit are at a maximum with respect to the makes, they are occurring with a frequency too great for the eye to recognize them. The degree ofv luminosity of the lamps will then bear a relation to the relative periodicities of the makes and breaks and be at a minimum. As the arm 30 is moved inward these relative periodicities change, and as those of the breaks constantly diminish 'of the lamps con stantly increases, so t at inorder to vary said intensity it is simply necessary to turn the arm 30 in one direction or the other by ated until the lamps show steadyv m dially disposed contact means of lever 26, and when the desired in tensity is obtained the lever may be secured by inserting pin 28 in the proper aperture of plate 27.
The object of filling the box 1 with oil is to prevent sparking or arcing as the contact arms run from under the springs 31, and this is still further avoided by means of the buckets which constantly take up the oil and project it in streams through the adjacent openings.
Une ractical application of the device to which y actual experiment I have found it applicable is the regulation of the intensity of numerous glow lamps simultaneously. Thus in theaters and public halls, the, lights can be raised or lowered as gradually as may be desired and to any chosen degree, and be held indefinitely at any selected intensity.
it will also be noted that the present device entirely obviates the necessity of the introduction in the lamp circuit of resistance coils or other energy consuming contrivances in order to vary the luminosity of the lamps.
I claim I The combination of a box for containing a liquid dielectric, a rotary shaft therein, a ralate on said shaft, a contact v supported in ependently of said shaft, bearing, on the surface of said plate and movable in a direction radial to said shaft and buckets on said. plate having inclined surfaces for projecting said dielectric upon the bearing surface of saidcontact. In testimony whereof l have afiixed my signature in presence of two witnesses.

Details on Industry Insight.
The book comes out Feb. 25 and will be available on Surfline.com. It tells the story of Michael and Gotcha co-founder Joel Cooper's creation of a cutting edge and pioneering surf brand that had incredible success and great failure as the industry was inventing itself, Michael said.
I'll write more about the book this week - there are tons of interesting business lessons in it.
Today, I'll write about all the interesting things Michael had to say about the state of the industry, what he thinks are the next moves for some of the big companies, and a few business tips he has for young brands.
Though he never has to work again after selling Gotcha, Michael is still designing and is a consultant to several major players in the industry.
Volcom: "Volcom in the next five to 10 years has obvious steps: acquisitions, retail, internet, international."
Quiksilver: "Has one thing left. To get smaller. ... The best thing that ever happened to that company is Bob McKnight being back in charge."
Billabong: "They've made acquisitions, they've opened retail, they still have the internet to do."
Wall Street: "Size is the enemy of cool... The big (companies) have grown to a point - what else is there? Wall Street is all about expectations and perceived opportunity. It never works well to say 'My strategy is to shrink.' With Wall Street, it's all about your story and right now they have to get real imaginative. They have to reinvent themselves and that's hard for big companies."
RVCA: "They have a clear position, a clear image. It's all in front of them. You've just got to execute, man."
The most important question for a brand: "What are you and how are you A). different and B). relevant. If you can answer those two questions, you have a shot."
Dealing with retailers: "It's critical for brands to understand: Whatever you have, they've seen it. The retailer is thinking (as you're showing the line), 'Hurry up, how much longer is this going take?' Instead of a huge line, pick a spot and make a difference. An unbelievable board short line will get you placed."

Is 'Superbass' Just a Jay-Z Song Sped Up?

Ryan Leslie is a record producer, songwriter and occasional rapper. He composes his songs on his laptop. So when he lost the computer in Cologne, Germany back in 2010 he had a big problem, since there were several unreleased tracks on the hard drive.
Leslie offered a $20,000 reward for the laptop's return. When that didn't work, he made a YouTube video in which he upped the reward to one million dollars.
The shadow cast by Michael Jackson's bizarre personal life and legal troubles may have eclipsed most of his career but it still could not blot out the shining triumph of his song and music video 'Thriller.'

Musician Fiona Apple already has a bit of a reputation for being melodramatic, and her recent move to cancel her South American tour because her dog is dying probably won't do much to dispel that.

Aldi Launches Premium Makeup Line at Crazy Low Prices
When you think of quality cosmetics, the aisles of discount grocer Aldi probably don't come to mind. But now, in a natural extension of its European skincare products line, Lacura Skin, Aldi has launched Lacura Beauty collection. My jaw dropped to the floor upon learning the pricing. All products cost just under $4 a pop! But do they deliver?
Find out when you read more.
I tried four items out of the seven-piece collection, including the foundation ($4), eye shadow ($4), mascara ($4), and powder ($4). The foundation, which easily spreads into the skin, is reminiscent of a tinted moisturizer. My only complaints would be that the product comes in just four tones, and the smell is rather perfumey. I loved the thin, smooth puff included in the powder compact, and the dual-toned eye shadow offered up a shimmery finish with an impressive color payoff. (I'd ditch the applicator wand, however, and go with your own long-handled brush.)
As for the mascara, it too, has a fragranced quality, with a scent I can only describe as similar to roses. While the brush at the end of the wand might not be perfect, as it's a little large, I'm clump- and flake-free, and I have to admit that I'm pleased with the soft, feathery results of this low-cost product. Look for the Lacura Beauty items rolling out at Aldi now; the line also includes lipstick ($4), nail polish ($2), and blush ($4). Do you think you might make a purchase?
