Contractors' payment details for last three years sought
Payments to contractors based on approximate quantity of waste generated in the city has now come under the scrutiny of the Karnataka High Court as the Bruhat Bangalore Mahanagara Palike (BBMP) on Monday admitted that garbage collected is far lesser than earlier estimates.
Noticing that approximate quantity of the garbage collected in eight zones of the city is around 3,400 tonnes to 3,599 tonnes a day as against 4,000 to 4,500 tonnes estimated earlier, the court asked BBMP Commissioner Siddaiah to place on record payments made to contractors in the last three years.
In its details submitted to the court about garbage weighed between February 1 and 28, the BBMP said it averaged 3,599.72 tonnes daily.
The Commissioner said that the BBMP is carrying out a survey on a pilot basis with a private firm's help to get a realistic data on waste generated and collected in every ward, and the outcome of the survey would be placed at the next hearing.
To a query, he admitted that the garbage collected is much less than the BBMP's estimate and that payments to contractors were made based on the estimated figures.
He also sought three months to fine-tune the data on garbage collection.
Following this, a Division Bench comprising Justice N. Kumar and Justice B.V. Nagarathna asked Mr. Siddaiah to submit the final data on garbage collection and payments.
'Stop payment'
The Bench directed the BBMP not to release any money either to M.N. Sriramulu, chairperson of the Karnataka Safai Karamchari Commission or to the three persons in whose favour he had subcontracted a garbage collection contract awarded to him in December 2012-January 2013 in Kamakshipalya (ward no 101) and Shivanagar (ward no 107).
A petitioner had pointed out that Mr. Sriramulu cannot hold a contract as he is a public servant by virtue of his appointment as chairperson of the commission by the State government in February this year.
It was also alleged that the contract itself was obtained fraudulently.
The court asked the State government to take note of Mr. Sriramulu's conduct and decide whether it is in public interest to let such persons continue to head a commission, which has the rank of a Minister of State.

Son Gohan (孫 悟飯?), better known as simply Gohan, is a fictional character in the Dragon Ball manga series created by Akira Toriyama. Gohan is introduced as the first son of the main protagonist Goku, and his wife Chi-Chi, in chapter #196 Kakarrot (カカロット Kakarotto?), first published in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine on October 24, 1988.[1] Chi-Chi is a strict and protective mother to Gohan, forcing him to focus on his studies and forbidding him from practicing martial arts. However, due to the various threats to the Earth, she reluctantly allows him to fight, with him ultimately becoming one of the strongest characters in the series. Gohan has been well-received by both fans and critics, the latter usually citing the character's growth from his initial appearance to his defeat of Cell.
Creation and design[edit]
Gohan's name comes from the Japanese word "gohan" (ご飯?, lit. "cooked rice" or "meal of any sort"), a continuation of the naming scheme of foods by Toriyama. Rice, being a grain, is not normally considered to be a vegetable, even though it is a common food. However, as the word "vegetable" is a culinary term, and not a botanical term, the name can also continue the naming scheme for Saiyan characters, which derives names from puns on vegetables.[2]
In conceptualizing for Gohan's character, Toriyama originally included glasses or a jacket to his apparel, and commonly, his hair is spiked up as seen in the final design.[3] With the ending of the Cell arc, Gohan was meant to replace his father as the main protagonist. However, Toriyama later decided against it, finding the character unsuited for the role.[4]
As opposed to full-blooded Saiyans, whose hair stays the same from birth,[5] Gohan's is drawn at varying lengths, and changes markedly in style. Initially, Gohan is illustrated garbed in a Hanfu-like surcoat with the Chinese character 孫, fixed on the front and the four-star Dragon Ball fitted on top of his hat. Piccolo later supplies him with a keikogi fashioned after Goku's, but substitutes the symbol with his own demon character "魔".[6] Normally thereafter, Gohan is drawn with a keikogi modeled after Piccolo's own. On Namek, Gohan is portrayed in battle armor worn by Freeza's henchmen, having been given it by Vegeta in preparation for their encounter with Freeza. Prior to his second fight with Majin Boo, Gohan asks Kibito for an outfit resembling his father's, and is then drawn in a keikogi identical to Goku's. Gohan, from the alternate future, is dressed in a keikogi similar to that of his father's, and has a long scar across his left eye.
Gohan is introduced as the four-year-old son of the series protagonist Goku. Described as well-mannered and reserved,[7][8] Gohan's story begins following his abduction by the extraterrestrial Saiyan named Raditz, who is also his uncle. While Goku is pinned to the ground, Gohan's extreme distress explodes with the release of his dormant power, which allows him to injure Raditz. Piccolo then takes Gohan away following the fight and Goku's death, and trains him for the upcoming battle against the two other Saiyans, Vegeta and Nappa, though Piccolo is aware that training the son of his greatest enemy will be a risk.[9] His tutelage under Piccolo forms a deep bond between the two characters, with Piccolo ultimately sacrificing himself to save Gohan during their fight with Nappa.[10] After Vegeta's defeat, Gohan travels with Bulma and Kuririn to planet Namek to use the Dragon Balls there, as the Dragon Balls on Earth had turned to stone due to the Earth's god Kami's death.[11] After succeeding in gathering the Dragon Balls, Gohan and the others wish Piccolo back to life, causing Kami and the Dragon Balls to be returned. Gohan, along with Kuririn and Vegeta, are then forced into an encounter with Freeza, who seeks the Dragon Balls for immortality. Shortly after the fight with Freeza begins, Kuririn is impaled by one of Freeza's horns. Freeza stops Gohan as he tries to save Kuririn, who has now been thrown into the ocean below, and he mocks him, saying it is pointless to try to save his friend since he and Vegeta are both about to die. Gohan is extremely angered by being unable to save Kuririn and attacks Freeza without hesitation. He manages to knock Freeza into a small island below, and then he blasts him with a series of energy blasts before ending the attack with a Masenko. Later on in the fight, as Piccolo is getting repeatedly blasted from Freeza, who is now in his third form, Gohan blasts Freeza with another Masenko, and once again pushes him back with it. Freeza is able to send it back at Gohan without taking any damage, but he is once again shocked that a child could produce such an attack. Shortly after this, Freeza transforms into his original and most powerful form. Once he does this he immediately kills Dende, a young Namekian who had been secretly healing Gohan, Kuririn, Piccolo and Vegeta. Gohan is outraged by this and unleashes all of his power against Freeza. However, he is unable to land even a single blow. After Goku transforms into a Super Saiyan and defeats Freeza, the planet Namek explodes and Goku escapes while Freeza is left with serious injuries, Freeza is found in space by his father (King Cold) and is turned into a cyborg. Gohan is shown to settle back into school life on Earth, waiting for Goku to return home from Namek.[12]
After Trunks kills Freeza and his father King Cold then tells Goku about the Androids, Gohan goes into the wilderness with Goku and Piccolo to train for the upcoming threat. After Vegeta kills Android #19, Dr. Gero (Android #20) activate Androids #17 and #18, and Cell is discovered, Gohan enters the Room of Spirit and Time with Goku where they train for 1 year (1 day on earth). Gohan makes the jump to Super Saiyan while he is in the chamber and after they emerge, both Goku and Gohan retain the physical characteristics of a Super Saiyan without any of the drawbacks of its form (increased aggression, energy loss, etc.). After Goku initially fights Cell but realizes later that he cannot defeat him, Gohan is called to fight to the surprise of everyone else and Cell. During the fight, Gohan asks Cell to stop the Cell Games tournament and then he tells him about his power. Cell, instead of heeding Gohan's warning, attacks him in an effort to force Gohan to show his true power. Gohan holds his own for a while until Cell becomes impatient and bored. He releases Cell Juniors on the other fighters to provoke Gohan. After Android #16 is murdered by Cell, Gohan unleashes his rage and transforms into a Super Saiyan 2. Gohan easily defeats the Cell Juniors and proceeds to toy with Cell, now that he has a much greater power level. This backfires, however; he waits too long to finish Cell, who decides to self-destruct as a last-ditch effort to destroy Gohan and the Earth. Goku, in an act of self-sacrifice, uses teleportation to take Cell to Kaio-sama's planet. Thinking Cell dead, the fighters lower their guard only to be surprised by a blast that kills Trunks. Cell returns, having regenerated from a single Cell that survived the blast, and also adopted the teleportation technique. Right before Cell is about to finish Vegeta, Gohan intercedes which costs him the use of his left arm. As Cell charges up one final Kamehameha wave to finish the Earth, Gohan hears the voice of his father who gives him the resolve he needs to defeat Cell. They both launch large Kamehameha waves at each other, which initiates a power struggle. Cell is about to overcome Gohan when Vegeta uses his remaining energy to blast Cell, which distracts him for a moment. Gohan uses this moment to unleash all his fury into his attack, which causes it to overpower Cell's. It hits Cell full-force which disintegrates all his cells, finally killing him.
The Gohan of the alternate timeline is presented in the volume #33 sidestory of the original manga, Trunks the Story, in which he is shown to be the only surviving fighter; the others have all died at the hands of the androids (sans Goku due to having died from a heart virus prior to androids' arrival).[13][14] Gohan is shown training Trunks to assist him in battling Androids #17 and #18. In this timeline, Gohan has become a Super Saiyan and is depicted wearing a uniform similar to his father's, one with his own kanji symbol on the back, Han, 飯. Gohan states he wears it in hopes of becoming as strong as his father one day, and is mentioned that he bears a striking resemblance to Goku when donning it.[15] He eventually loses his left arm fighting Androids #17 and #18.[15] He is eventually killed by the two androids in after a battle where the two androids ganged up on Gohan, and killed him with machine gun-like ki blasts.
In the present-timeline, Gohan is shown enrolled at Orange Star High School in Satan City (サタンシティ?). On his first day, he foils a bank robbery as a Super Saiyan, and, with help from Bulma, adopts an superhero identity that he dubs the "Great Saiyaman" (グレートサイヤマン Gurēto Saiyaman?). He is also in a relationship with Videl. Participating in the 25th Tenkaichi Budōkai, Gohan is depicted as having grown weaker, which the Daizenshū World Guide book explains as due to a lack of training and anger in transforming.[3] Gohan, after having his chi absorbed by Spopovich and Yamu, pursues the two and enters Bobbidi's spaceship with the Kaiō-shin, Goku and Vegeta, where Gohan later fights with Dabura.[16] Following Majin Boo's release and Gohan's defeat at his hands, Gohan is taken to the home planet of the Kaiō-shin. After pulling out the Zeta Sword and accidentally breaking it in a training session, Gohan unwittingly releases the Old Kaiō-shin, who then performs a prolonged ceremony to unlock Gohan's latent powers. Gohan then returns to Earth and confronts Boo for a second time, and temporarily defeats him.[17] However, he, along with Gotenks and Piccolo, are later absorbed by Boo.[18] Once revived, Gohan is able to aid Goku's Genki-dama by lending his chi.[19] Following Boo's defeat and a ten-year gap, Gohan has finally become a scholar, is married with Videl and they have a daughter Pan.
Voice actors[edit]
Gohan is voiced in the original Japanese anime and all other media by Masako Nozawa. In the English Ocean dub of the anime, Gohan's child version is voiced by Saffron Henderson and Jillian Michaels while Gohan adult version is voiced by Brad Swaile. In the English dub of the video game Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout, Gohan is voiced by Lex Lang.
In the English Funimation dub, Gohan's child incarnation is voiced by Stephanie Nadolny for various media until 2010 and Colleen Clinkenbeard for Dragon Ball Kai while Gohan's adult incarnation is voiced by Kyle Hebert for almost all various media and Dameon Clarke for the History of Trunks TV special.
Gohan possesses superhuman strength and durability,[20] as well as superhuman speed and reflexes, as seen during his training with his younger brother Goten. As a child, Gohan is depicted with an immense amount of hidden potential, which at first only revealed itself when he experienced fierce rage or distress.[21][22] The vastness of this potential is shown consistently throughout the series as he ages and learns to master his powers from constant training and battles, the earliest example was during his short fight with Raditz. Gohan's potential was unlocked twice in the series: first by the Namekian Great Elder, and then fully unlocked by Old Kaiō-shin, which sees his power level rise to new heights, capable of easily overwhelming the seemingly invincible Majin Boo.
As a half-Saiyan, he has the ability to become an Oozaru, a gigantic ape-like creature, by absorbing waves from a full moon. He lost this ability after his tail was cut by Piccolo, and later Vegeta. He achieved the Super Saiyan transformation by training with his father, and as a display of his hidden potential, becomes the first Saiyan in the series to become a Super Saiyan 2 during his battle against Cell. Though Gohan had gotten much weaker due to not training after the Cell Games, he became stronger than he ever was after the power boost from Old Kaiō-shin.
Gohan has the ability to freely manipulate a life-force energy known as ki to fly using Bukū-jutsu (舞空術?, "Air Dance Technique"),.[23] He can also concentrate his ki to fire blasts of energy, such as the Kamehameha (かめはめ波?, lit. "Turtle Destruction Wave") or the Masenko (魔閃光 Masenkō?, lit. "Demon Flash").[24] Gohan has displayed the use of his ki in a defensive manner, such as generating protective energy shields.
Appearances in other media[edit]
Gohan is a playable character in various Dragon Ball-related video games. He first appeared in the 1990 Japanese-language game Dragon Ball Z: Kyôshū! Saiyan. Gohan has also appeared in crossover media such as Battle Stadium D.O.N and Jump Super Stars.
Gohan, along with Goku, is parodied in the Robot Chicken episode "Easter Basket". Gohan has been used in promotional merchandising at fast-food chain Burger King,[25] and collectible cards, such as the Dragon Ball Z Collectible Card Game, have featured Gohan frequently. Gohan is referenced in the song "Goku" by Soulja Boy Tell 'Em, where he brags that he looks and feels like Gohan and a few other Dragon Ball related characters.[26]
In 1993, Gohan placed first in a Dragon Ball character popularity poll voted on by Weekly Shōnen Jump readers,[27] and was also voted the third most popular character by fans of the series for the 2004 book Dragon Ball Forever.[28] Due to the popularity of Gohan, other merchandise, such as action figures, video games, and clothing have featured Gohan in Japan and in various countries around the world. In an interview featured in the second Dragon Ball GT Perfect Files, a companion book released in December 1997 by Shueisha's Jump Comics Selection imprint, Masako Nozawa, Gohan's voice actress, stated that her favorite episode voicing Gohan was "Sorry, Robot-san - The Desert of Vanishing Tears".[29] Saffron Henderson, Gohan's original Ocean Studios voice actor, has stated she felt protective of the role and considers it to be one of her favorites.[30] In addition, Gohan's original Funimation voice actor, Stephanie Nadolny has said that playing Gohan was a unique and much-loved experience.[31]
IGN writer D. F. Smith liked how during the Cell Games, Gohan has more screentime than Goku, and praised his scenes as one of the biggest moments from said story arc.[32] Theron Martin from Anime News Network celebrated Gohan's development in the Cell Games as he had grown up and become stronger.[33]

Infectious disease of humans and domestic animals. It is characterized by gradual onset of fever, chills, sweats, weakness, and aches, and it usually ends within six months. It is named after the British physician David Bruce (b. 1855d. 1931), who first identified (1887) the causative bacteria. Three main species in the genus Brucella commonly cause the disease in humans, who contract it from infected animals (goats, sheep, pigs, cattle). Brucellosis is rarely transmitted between humans but spreads rapidly in animals, causing severe economic losses. Drug therapy is not practical for animal brucellosis, but vaccination of young animals is useful. Infected animals must be removed from herds. Antibiotics are effective against acute disease in humans, in whom it can cause liver and heart problems if untreated.

I looked at one at my local Box Store today, and I think I am kicking myself for not buying it. It is about 3 - 4 feet tall and was $70. Should I make a special trip to go back and get it? Can I keep it in a container or should it be in the ground? Also, the tag says morning light, dappled shade - how much sun can it tolerate?
LMK - I think it might be my Mothers Day present to myself! Thanks
Follow-Up Postings:
If other green-leaved Japanese maple cultivars do well in full sun there then this one will also. |
saw one at my local nursery the other day, probably 5ft tall or so, and they wanted $229 for it. I'd get it if it was only $70. |

Very few Americans appreciate either what is at stake in Palestine or what problems remain to be solved. We just aren't interested.
This last week, presidential candidates and their sympathetic pundits took shots at President Obama's Thursday speech, decrying his call for continued peace talks based upon the 1967 borders. No one on either side or anywhere in between believes that those borders are defensible.
In what Israel would claim to be their sovereign territory, the typical Jewish citizen may travel freely. Not so in Palestine for the typical Muslim. Israeli checkpoints dot the West Bank, making it nearly impossible to travel and conduct business beyond one's own neighborhood. And to make some borders "defensible," Israel has built 20-foot high concrete walls dividing and even isolating Muslim-occupied neighborhoods from each other and from the outside world.
Those who studied Apartheid in South Africa recognize today's condition in Palestine. Yet the one person still living today who has contributed the most to peace in Palestine, Jimmy Carter, was soundly criticized for comparing today's Palestine to Apartheid in South Africa.
South African Apartheid was based upon the establishment of a state for Afrikaners separate and unequal from numerous other smaller states set aside for native populations. South Africa prospered alongside these inferior states, exploiting their labor and restricting their comings and goings. Those natives living in South Africa proper were forced to live in guarded ghettos like none ever seen before and were restricted to travel outside only for work. Not until the outside world finally took a stand against Afrikaners, imposing sever economic sanctions against their businesses, did change begin to occur.
In Palestine today, there are three separate states: Israel, the largest state dedicated primarily to Europeans of Jewish heritage and dissent; the West Bank, the second-largest state policed extensively by Israeli forces who restrict the free movements of its predominantly Muslim population, otherwise ruled by the Palestine Liberation Organization (true liberation yet to have been achieved); and the Gaza Strip, the smallest and most densely populated area ruled by Hamas and kept in a near starvation condition. Native South Africans had it much better.
Today's Israeli politicians desire to maintain this status quo. It suits them just fine. From time to time, the most repressed Gazans strike out in frustration and anger. Interestingly, but for recent European immigration into Israel, were these three states combined, in not very many years Arab Muslims would be in the majority. And were those Arab Muslims who fled Palestine during the war following Israel's 1948 "establishment" to return to their "native land" a majority of Muslim Arabs would exist in Palestine today.
Why is there an Israel today? At the turn of the 20th century, Palestine was ruled as a part of the Turkish Empire; and Jews, Christians and Muslims lived harmoniously side by side in Jerusalem and its surroundings. Not until the mass migration of Jews from Europe was permitted during British administration did this peaceful status quo change. Perhaps peace would return most naturally if there was only one state in Palestine today, one ruled under democratic principles, one vote per citizen and equal citizenship for all. And where European Jews who were without a homeland for upwards of two millennia had cause to "return," surely those Palestinians living in neighboring states today have even stronger rights. It's only been 63 years since they left in fear of their lives.

We know you will love our shore house as much as we do.

Hello Everyone,
Came across this forum while searching online and decided to sign up. Noticed that I appear to be the second new member from NC from just today.
The wife and I are newbies to firearms. We became interested a couple of months ago when my wife's uncle brought his with him when her family visited from Ohio. He and I went to a local range and I signed up for membership. I brought my wife in the following weekend, kicking and screaming "I don't wanna go". Spent some time watching a safety video with her at the range, got some tutelage from the staff and put the gun in her hands. She was another case of first time she shoots the look of shock turns to one of "that was kinda cool" and she decided to join too. The membership for six months included the CCW class, which we both took a couple of weeks ago. We go this Friday to apply for our concealed carry permits.
In the mean time, we've been going to the range on the weekends and doing a lot of reading and research. It has certainly been an eye opening experience. Even though we don't own any of our own guns yet, the education we've received alone has certainly changed us. I find myself at a much higher state of alertness when out and about and making a point of practicing restraint while driving, keeping in the mind set that I need to hold myself to a higher standard now.

He and his three brothers worked on the father's farm of four hundred acres during their youth, and he followed farming in Victor throughout his active life. In 1860 he planted an apple orchard that has made his farm one of the best fruit growing places of the town. In politics he was a Republican, in religion a Presbyterian. He died in Victor, October 10, 1908. He married, at Akron, Ohio, January 9, 1858, Elizabeth Tucker, who was born at Penn Yan, October 31, 1832, and survives her husband (1911). Children: 1. Theodore, mentioned elsewhere. 2. Nettie, born in 1862, died 1869. 3. Mabel, born July 12, 1894, married, September 23, 1902, Roy J. Provost. 4. Elizabeth, born April 15, 1876, resides with her mother at Victor. William Tucker, fattier of Mrs. Conover, was born in Plaistow, New Hampshire, and married Ruth Cameron, who was born in Akron, Ohio; children: George, a soldier in the civil war, died in 1900; Elisha, soldier in the civil war; Elizabeth, mentioned above; Junietta, married George H. Adams, now (1910) living in Canandaigua; child, Nellie Adams. The Tucker family moved to Yates county and afterward to Ohio.

It may be able to withstand static pressures at the ocean's deepest points, but as soon as you start moving you get dynamic pressure from the bow wave at the front. If it was going fast enough, it could easily experience a pressure head of more than 37000 feet at the nose. Plus, craft like this will be built with a decent safety factor, hopefully at least 2.0, so the people inside it don't die if the engineers get their maths wrong.

Re:3.5km/h (146 comments)
I was reading the summary thinking "surely a telescope's sensitivity should be measured in arcseconds, and the minimum detectable speed should be in arcseconds-per-second rather than miles per hour." Of course they were talking about bodies moving toward and away from us, rather than across our field of vision, so it's a Doppler effect measurement rather than looking at a picture and saying, "hey! That bit moved!"

Re:I don't get it.. (285 comments)
Nice analogy =P
I'm tempted to improve that Wiki article on power-law fluids when I have a moment, so that it's more readily understood by those who haven't already learned the majority of what it's trying to explain...
Re:I don't get it.. (285 comments)
Heh, glad I put that disclaimer there. Stopping force is proportional to velocity, (technically shear rate), in a Newtonian fluid such as water or oil: in a shear-thickening fluid viscosity is proportional to velocity. Viscosity is the proportionality constant linking speed and stopping force, so I guess that makes stopping force proportional to the square of the speed.
Re:I don't get it.. (285 comments)
I guess there's a limit to the amount of shock it can absorb. I would imagine its properties have been tweaked so that it stops any impact within its own thickness. Obviously if the impacting object is travelling faster, that results in more rapid deceleration and thus more forces transferred to the delicate internally-bits of your laptop. For dropping off a table though, it probably provides the smallest possible deceleration force against the floor, compared to protection materials currently on the market.
My suspicion would be that rather than rather than causing the linear deceleration of a simple spring constant, (like most other foams, rubbers, etc.), it provides an exponential deceleration: the stopping force in a shear-thickening fluid is proportional to the speed rather than the displacement. This means that the material starts acting from the very moment of impact, as that is the point with the highest speed. A spring, (or foam, or rubber, or anything else that acts like a spring), would do essentially nothing until the impact has squeezed it enough to get a decent counter-force out of it. But by that time it might be too late, and the spring might have already bottomed out. I'd be interested to see some numbers for this gel, to back up the stuff I've just written!

The BBC is reporting on a new iPhone app from presidential candidate Barack Obama, to help you organise your own personal mini-campaign of friend-badgering. It sorts people by state, and by their "Obama status" - how favourably they're thinking of him.

It depends on people in uncensored countries running the program too: the censoree connects to X anonymous Western user, who then proxies their requests and relays data back over an encrypted connection - so not only does the censoree now have access to everything he wants, his nasty ol' government can't see what he's doing and lock him up for it.

There isn't much better than giving back to the community that serves you!
Peoria YMCA staff and members assist at the Midwest Food Bank about once a month to serve in a variety of capacities: from measuring and sealing food blends, to packaging and sorting boxes. Our next Midwest Food Bank opportunity is Wednesdays, November 19 from 2-4.
We often have volunteer opportunities in the community — whether on campus at the Y or in other organizations. As a non-profit organization, we believe that serving the Peoria area is more than just the Peoria area. It means we are serving individuals, families, and the people who interact with our members and nonmembers. We believe that good work spreads through service, and makes it a better place to be.
We know that when we work together, we move individuals, families and communities forward. Since 1844, the Y has responded to society's most pressing needs by developing innovative, community-based solutions and uniting people from all walks of life to participate in and work for positive social change. Whether providing job training to a newly single parent, advocating for affordable, healthy food options for under served communities, or helping newcomers transition well into their new neighborhoods, the Y is committed to giving all people the tools and support to live healthy, connected and secure lives.
It is Midwest Food Bank's mission to gather large food donations from nationwide corporations and distribute them to social service organizations, as well as, national disaster sites, at no charge. We do not want to ask the organizations we serve to cover our overhead through the purchase of food; therefore, we desire to receive and distribute in-kind donations at no cost.
WHEN: Wednesdays, November 19
WHO: Y-Members and the Community
WHAT: Packaging foods and materials
WHERE: 9005 N. Industrial Rd. Peoria, IL 61615
WHEN: from 2-4pm

The program is led by a committee of Y members that helps organize and run four service projects a year.
We are looking for Y members to join our Service Committee. Folks who are:
- passionate about the benefits of service and volunteering;
- represent the diversity of our community and membership;
- and are willing and able to be an advocate for the benefits of service with Y members and community partners.
The commitment for the members of this Service Committee will be to
- attend a minimum number of monthly meetings (time and date TBD) for a one-year term;
- select and lead, or co-lead, one of four community service projects each year, using the YMCA Togetherhood Toolkit;
- and invite members, friends, and family from within their social networks

He is up for re-election this year, and is known nationally by virtue of his unsuccessful challenge to Rand Paul for Senate in 2010. Conway, in conjunction with the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, sent an email to supporters aligning himself with Schneiderman.

KY-Sen: Conway Employs Kitchen Sink with "Aqua Buddha" TV Ad |
By: David Dayen Monday October 18, 2010 1:40 pm |
This Hail Mary attack by Kentucky's Democratic Senate candidate Jack Conway has certainly pulled Rand Paul off of his script, and shows the Conway campaign willing to use anything in the fight. I could also see it carrying a potential backlash, however.
Do Republicans Ever Worry about Their Own Attack Ads Being Too Mean? |
By: Blue Texan Monday October 18, 2010 10:30 am |
After Alan Grayson released an ad calling his opponent "Taliban Dan," there was a lot of silly hand-wringing on the left about how misleading and unfair it was. Same thing's happening again with a Jack Conway attack ad on Rand Paul.
KY-Sen: Rand Paul's Medicare Deductible Problem |
By: David Dayen Thursday October 7, 2010 6:30 pm |
If a candidate other than Rand Paul were nominated in Kentucky, given the rightward tilt of the state and the current electoral environment, they would have probably sailed to victory. But Paul's past statements are really catching up with him and giving Jack Conway an angle to win.
KY Sen: New Poll Finds Conway Surging Ahead of Paul |
By: Jon Walker Friday August 20, 2010 2:30 pm |
There is some good news for Democrat Jack Conway. The latest Braun Research/CN2 poll (PDF) of likely voters in Kentucky has him roughly a half-point ahead of his Republican opponent Rand Paul, making the race effectively tied (rounding brings the margin up to a point).
This is a huge improvement compared to the last Braun Research poll (PDF), which found Paul with a ten-point lead over Conway, 41 – 31.
What If People Actually Vote for Hard-Right, Tea Party Republicans? |
By: Jon Walker Wednesday August 4, 2010 10:20 am |
There has been much hope — or dread, depending on which party you support — that the embrace of arch-conservative and Tea Party-backed candidates in contest primaries could seriously cost the Republican Party several Senate seats this November. The economy may be the key to Republican outcomes.
Talk of Senate Rules Reform Hangs Over Netroots Nation |
By: David Dayen Saturday July 24, 2010 7:52 am |
Amid the frustration of a sidelined policy agenda despite large majorities in both houses of Congress, attendees and policymakers at Netroots Nation turned to procedural reform as a way to break the deadlock and bring some accountability back to the legislative branch.
KY Sen: After Week of High Exposure, Paul Still Leads, But Loses Ground to Conway |
By: Jon Walker Friday May 28, 2010 8:30 am |
The Senate matchup between Democrat Jack Conway and Republican Rand Paul is very close, with a slight advantage for Paul. A DailyKos/Research 2000 poll has Paul at 44 percent and Conway at 41 percent, with a four percent margin of error. This close race appears winnable for Democrats.
Rand Paul's Civil Rights Blunder |
By: David Dayen Thursday May 20, 2010 9:00 am |
Last night's interview with Rachel Maddow is what Rand Paul will face for the next six months. And if he continues with these kinds of performances, he'll show the ugly side of the liberty movement has has cultivated.

Senator-Elect Cory Booker Wants to Work With Sen. Rand Paul on Drug Law Reforms
Submitted by bobbyw24 on Wed, 10/23/2013 - 10:47Senator-elect Cory Booker sees revamping drug policies as one of the principal issues he can champion once he takes office in Washington, D.C., and he believes he can draw bipartisan support on the issue—even among those who supported his Republican challenger in the special-election race.

I like Booker
In 2006 my wife showed me a documentary called Street Fight. It shows councilman Booker (A Rhodes scholar) living in the projects of Newark taking on the well entrenched Newark political machine.
As a Detroiter I could sympathize as the documentary shows an old time dirty style of street politics in the modern setting. It's quite fascinating. Booker comes off as authentic. He later defeated and replaced the Newark Democratic machine against an incumbent backed by Sharpton and Jackson. He has many enemies among the New Jersey Democrats because he doesn't toe the party line.
Fixing the systems approach to drugs and incarceration is a major issue and a great place for libertarians and social liberals to build a bridge and improve the American justice system.

Incarceration Rate
America's incarceration rate is incredible. Roughly 2.5 million prisoners. That's 25% of the globes prison population. The War on Drugs policy is a major part of it.
Gun ownership is also important. I don't see why it has to be one at the expense of the other. Anytime a Democrat wants to do something good you can't dismiss that person completely due to the parties anti-gun stance. If you watch the documentary you will see Cory Booker ended up with an armed body guard during a dangerous and ugly mayoral campaign.

Grandstanding about side
Grandstanding about side issues. It's what politicians do. Honest people discuss root causes.

Watch it
I encourage you to watch the documentary then you can have some more context to gauge his honesty. Booker is most certainly a politician, never doubting that. I don't see the purpose in attacking a liberal for wanting to reexamine the nations drug and incarceration policy.

News of likely opening of the dam shutters attracts more than 17,000 people to the site
All roads led to the Idukki dam on Sunday as more than 17,000 people thronged the dam site.
Being a holiday, a large number of people visited the dam, which had been opened for the public in view of the Onam festival.Traffic in the main town was hit for some time and the road from Vellappara to the dam and from there to the General Hospital junction was filled with vehicles. With sun shining throughout the day, people chose to visit the Idukki and Cheruthoni dams.
An official manning the ticket counter to the Cheruthoni dam said it was a busy day with the people thronging the dam. The number of people that visited the dam site on Saturday was around 9,400. There was also unprecedented rush in hotels and many who turned up from other districts could not find accommodation at Cheruthoni town on Saturday night.
The dam will be open for public till October 20. Two boats from the Mattupetty dam have been arranged for cruse.Foreign tourists visiting Munnar and Thekkady also came here.

Procedural Textures - anyone interested in collaboration
I'm working on procedural texture generator, so I'm searching for people interested in helping out/collaborating. My texture generator is currently software only. Algorhytms behind it are pretty innovative and AFAIK no one else came up with similar idea to generate textures. I'm searching for people who have some of following skills: shaders (HLSL/GLSL/CG), OpenGL, Direct3D, Advanced Windows GUI creation, but also have experience with some kind of procedural graphics generation. I'd like to evolve this project into something similar to Werkkzeug 3 TE/MaPZone/Filter Forge, but with easier/smarter GUI and to be much simpler to use by traditional CG artists.
For anyone interested in checking out WIP texture generator, get the link from below. Note that this is only a basic greyscale texture generator, because colorization and other effects are fairly easy to implement.

I dont think anyone will be surprised if he's redeemed.
I Don't Care
What Has He Done
I dont think anyone will be surprised if he's redeemed.
As much as I like Sasuke...Blargh. Who am I kidding? He is one of my favourite characters, but I dunno, man. <_>
If I say yes, I'd be too soft-hearted and would agree with all his bullshitting so far. =_=
If I say no, I'm not a very good fan am I? XD
Anyways, personally, I don't want to see him getting killed (Suckura please!) but I don't want him to return to Konoha either.
"This life's hard, man, but it's harder if you're stupid."
Well, the question is "should Sasuke be redeemed?", so, as black flash says, the thing that really matter is "how" it's done, cause we all should know it's gonna happen one way or another.
I voted "I don't care", but for me, it would be fine as long as he acknowledges that he's being an ass and dies helping Naruto fight Madara.
Right and wrong it's not what separate us and our enemies
It's our different perspectives and standpoints that
Separate us.
Do I want Sasuke to be redeemed? No. I don't see how it could be justified.
Will Sasuke be redeemed? Sadly, yes.
apparently all people here want sasuke to die.. and all 'know' that sasuke will be redeemed..
solution: in the end he will kill himself in front of everyone to seek redemption...
^Not all there are a couple of lurkers who want him to live.
This is shônen. Of course he will be redeemed. However, it will be "justified" because he will die to defeat Madara.
If you ask me whether he 'should' be redeemed, I say...no. He's gone too far, I don't see how he can be welcomed back and pardoned after all he's done. The alternative is for him to die, of course, but that's such an obvious course it'd be kinda lame.
Will he be redeemed? Given the kind of manga it is, yes. Not surprising. And I don't think we should hate Kishi for that, cos for all we complain about him he's still got a massive fan following way more sensitive on the issue.
Personally I want Naruto to learn that he can't save anyone - sure that isn't really shonen anymore but it's not bad if that happens. Naruto needs to get to grips with reality, I don't see how he can be Hokage otherwise. If that were the case could he ever bear to send his ninjas for missions and wars where they may possibly die? His policy of saving everyone cannot work out (though one could argue he only wants to save Sasuke).
If Sasuke ends up redeemed but in an interesting way...I wouldn't really mind.

Printers Gain Efficiency, Productivity with Solutions from Heidelberg
November 3, 2009Since the installation six months ago, said Grogan, the company has made substantial gains in productivity, along with the ability to handle larger sheets and perform gatefolding. H&L's operators greatly appreciate the new folder's "lower profile" and ergonomic control concept, Grogan said, as well as the higher speed and many automated features that help reduce error, shrink makeready times and permit greater utilization of the folder's production capabilities. The flexibility of the folder is key, he said, given that the company produces work in run lengths of from 100 sheets to a million sheets, depending on the job.
H&L Binders serves a client base located throughout the Southeast and across the nation. The company provides a full range of bindery services, but specializes in the production of perfect-bound books. Depending on its workload, the company employs from 25-50 staff at any given time.
Top-of-the-line in folding: the Stahlfolder TH 82 folder.
GR Print Ramps Up Production with a Stahlfolder USA B20
GR Print, a busy gang-run trade printer located in Montebello, CA, reports a 35 percent increase in folding productivity since it replaced an aging machine with a small-format, Stahlfolder USA B20 pile-fed combi-plate folder.
"It's fast, flexible and a lot more accurate," said production manager Paul Pillen, citing the folder's micro-adjustable combination buckle plates. "The ease of use is just outstanding," he added—"so much so that an operator with no experience with automated equipment could walk right up to it and get comfortable with no problem whatsoever." Currently, the company operates the USA B20 folder for one shift per day, although it expects to add a second shift by the beginning of February to accommodate increasing volume.
GR Print, which employs a hardworking staff of 19, uses the new folder to produce tri-fold brochures, bi-folds and letter folds up to 11x17" on 100-lb. gloss stock, in runs up to 5,000 pieces, for printers and graphic designers throughout North America. Elsewhere in the shop, the company operates a Heidelberg Speedmaster CD 102 4-color press and a POLAR 115 X programmable guillotine cutter.
"When you've been in the trade as long as I have," Pillen said, "you learn pretty quickly that it pays to spend money on a well-made machine that performs reliably and produces top quality work, year in and year out. That's what Heidelberg is all about."
Fast, flexible, accurate: the USA B20 Stahlfolder.
GA Printing Invests in Cutting Capability with POLAR 115 X Cutter
GA Printing, Asheville, NC, a division of Golf Associates Scorecard Company, now produces rack cards, postcards, brochures and other commercially printed products with the assistance of two new programmable POLAR 115 X paper cutters, which replaced a pair of competitive machines. Since the installations took place, the company has enjoyed the advantages of higher speed, ease of operation and a 20 percent increase in productivity over the company's previous cutter output.
According to Ronnie Vardeman, production manager, employees are delighted with the trouble-free operation of the cutters, including the conveniently located control panel with easy-to-read display that permits the user to select program functions and adjust machine parameters.
"The cutting department is a linchpin of our operation," Vardeman explains. "Everything we print (in runs that average 10,000 pieces) flows through it, so we can't afford to create a bottleneck at the cutter. The addition of these new POLAR machines enables us to serve our established niche more efficiently."
Elsewhere in the shop, GA Printing operates a Heidelberg Speedmaster 52 5-color press, as well as assorted Heidelberg cylinder and Windmill presses. It also makes use of Saphira pressroom consumables, including ink fountain liners, blanket wash cloths, and water pan rollers. Of the company's relationship with Heidelberg, Vardeman said, "You have to go with performance and longevity in this business. Heidelberg has never steered us wrong, and the service is outstanding."
GA Printing employs a staff of 40 and serves a North American client base.
Banish bottlenecks with the POLAR 115 X programmable cutter.
Printmaster QM 46 Is Centerpiece of Appalachian University Program
The Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology (GAIT) program at Appalachian State University in Boone, NC (http://www.tec.appstate.edu/gait/index.htm), is the proud owner of a Heidelberg Printmaster QM 46 2-color press, which has quickly become the centerpiece of its graphic arts curriculum.
"It's good for students to experience the newest technology in the form of this state-of-the-art small-format press," said Dr. John R. Craft, Professor and Program Coordinator. Later on, he added, that experience could translate into improved job prospects, "because it sends human resource officers and future employers a message that there's a quality program underway at Appalachian State."
Not only are students attracted to the press for its contemporary look and design, automated features and ease of use, Craft said, but several students also have logged significant extracurricular time on it for special independent projects, some of which have won awards. Classroom lab assignments have included the production of limited quantities of newsletters and postcards, but the program also works with Appalachian State's Printing and Publishing in-plant to produce longer-run materials for the University at large.
Appalachian State University is one of 16 campuses that comprise the University of North Carolina System. The Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology program has been training and educating students for more than 40 years, and currently graduates about 20 students a year. Around 150 students rotate through the program at any given time, not including 11 students with declared minors in the field. Appalachian State's Graphic Arts and Imaging Technology facility is presently the largest of any program at the University, Craft noted, with obvious pride. The program actively supports the annual SkillsUSA partnership of students, teachers and industry representatives working together to ensure America has access to a skilled work force, which also has enjoyed the longstanding enthusiastic participation of Heidelberg.
The program's choice of a Heidelberg Printmaster QM 46-2 to upgrade and enhance its student offerings was a no-brainer, Craft said. "Heidelberg presses are built for the ages. I can't think of a better investment."
A generation of printing students have cut their teeth on a Heidelberg Printmaster QM 46 .
Angelo State University In-Plant Trades Outsourcing for Printmaster GTO Workhorse
The in-plant print shop at Angelo State University in San Angelo, Texas, is keeping more of its small-format printing in house since it installed a Heidelberg Printmaster GTO 52 4-color press in August.
"A lot of things used to go off-campus," said production supervisor Henry Begil, resulting in a loss of control over projects and higher costs. Now, however, the in-plant is saving the University money by exercising a larger measure of control over the production of brochures, postcards, recruitment and other materials in run lengths from 1,000 to 15,000 pieces. Managing the shop's increased capacity "has definitely kept us busy," Begil said, and underscored the value of various time- and labor-saving features of the new Printmaster GTO press, especially the Prinect Classic Center control console, which makes short, convenient work of remote ink and register settings.
Established more than 30 years ago, the busy in-plant also operates a Heidelberg Quicksetter polyester platesetter. It also utilizes Heidelberg Cristala poly plates and a host of Saphira pressroom consumables, including inks, blankets, blanket wash, fountain solution and more.
A press that works as hard as you do: the Heidelberg Printmaster GTO 52.

"I'm praying about it, trying to decide what to do next," he says. "I'll let you know. And meanwhile, I'll pray for you."
With more than twenty chile stands now lining Federal, the start of the New Mexico/Denver chile trail would seem lost in obscurity. But the roots are actually easy to trace.
"I'm the source," claims Willy Martinez, a large, handsome man in his fifties who is sitting out this year's chile season to pursue the importation of Penafiel and other supersweet Mexican soft drinks. "I mean it," he says. "Twenty years ago no one up here knew the New Mexico chile. It started with me. I been messing around with chile forever. The first year I brought it up and sold it from a walk-in cooler behind my house on Wyandot. I don't know how they found out about it, but a lot of people came to the cooler and bought chile. I was messing with Sandia and the 6-4 chiles, and lately, people are just buying and buying."
Last year Willy and Charles Gurule joined forces--operating five chile stands in addition to the one at Vigil's. This year, though, Charles is on his own, with just one stand. "Yeah, I quit having a whole bunch of stands," he says, "because it's a pain in the ass. People get absolutely rude. I tell them my price is twelve bucks a bushel. They tell me it's ten bucks down the street. I say, no it isn't, I'm the guy down the street, and I'm not selling any chile for ten bucks."
In fact, at the moment he's not selling any chile at all--he's run out. Once again, it's time to head for a chile farm. "I don't care if I have to get a farmer out of bed at one in the morning and say `I want a couple hundred pounds of chile, load me up.' They're used to it," Charles says.
Maybe. "Charles is the only person I know who would do a thing like that," laughs Angel Baquera.
While he's gone, Charles's crew--barring fights to the death--will hold down the fort. There's not a lot to it, really--you let the customer taste the chile, you keep the roaster spinning and you don't bargain.
"Right," Charles says. "Do you bargain at King Soopers? A lot of these guys think nothing of spending fifty bucks a night getting drunk, but then they bitch about twelve bucks.
"And that," he reminds you, "is for enough chile to last a year.

1 After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, "Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great." | 1 After this, the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision: "Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your very great reward." |
2 But Abram said, "O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?" | 2 But Abram said, "O Sovereign LORD, what can you give me since I remain childless and the one who will inherit my estate is Eliezer of Damascus?" |
3 And Abram said, "You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir." | 3 And Abram said, "You have given me no children; so a servant in my household will be my heir." |
4 But the word of the Lord came to him, "This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir." | 4 Then the word of the LORD came to him: "This man will not be your heir, but a son coming from your own body will be your heir." |
5 He brought him outside and said, "Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your descendants be." | 5 He took him outside and said, "Look up at the heavens and count the stars--if indeed you can count them." Then he said to him, "So shall your offspring be." |
6 And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. | 6 Abram believed the LORD, and he credited it to him as righteousness. |

Court rules New York is not liable in capsizing
Posted onNew York's top court rejected damages claims against state inspectors who continually recertified a tour boat for a 48-passenger capacity before it overturned on an Adirondack lake in 2005, drowning 20 people on a fall foliage tour.
The Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the state generally isn't liable for "the negligent performance" of government functions unless it has some "special duty" to those hurt, according to the Associated Press.
Federal investigators said after the accident that the 40-foot Ethan Allen should have been limited to 14 passengers. The boat tipped over in clear, sunny weather, sending 47 tourists and the captain into Lake George. The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that "insufficient stability," partly from the passenger load, was the probable cause of the accident.
"Although the law is clear, the upshot is that, regardless of any negligence on the part of the state, the victims of this disastrous wreck are essentially left without adequate remedy," Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman wrote for the unanimous court, according to the AP. "The legislature currently has a proposal before it to require public vessels to carry marine protection and indemnity insurance. We note that such a requirement — had it existed — might have been able to provide a modicum of relief here."
The six judges noted that the legislature, even in amending state navigation law after the disaster to impose more safety standards, didn't establish a private right to sue the government.
They reversed a midlevel court and upheld the state's assertion of sovereign immunity in carrying out these governmental functions.
