Prison Break: Season One ««««¶
(2006, Twentieth Century Fox)(16x9 Widescreen, 22 episodes, 6 discs)(Availiable in DVD and Blu-Ray)
Reviewed by:
Prison Break was perhaps one of the greatest millennial serial television shows. It helped launch the serial television trend of the mid 2000s, following the lead of 24, Lost, and Battlestar Galactica. Originally conceived as a several part miniseries, Prison Break became an unstoppable juggernaut that kept going long after the escape. In deed, breaking out was just the beginning. And every season the show came back with new and innovative directions to take the series.
Originally I had mixed feeling about season one of Prison Break, but it was just too engrossing to walk away from. As entertaining as the story of the prison break is, there are two minor problems with the show. First, the plot has a conspiracy element that's a bit excessive. It's a catch-22 situation. The conspiracy element serves the plot by providing an explaination as to why the lead character of Lincoln Burrows as been framed for murder, and it gives the show a overarching nemises. But on the flip-side, the conspiracy detracts from the show at times, taking you out of the show reality. Starting with the framing of one man for a murder that he didn't commit, the conspiracy quickly reached the top levels of government and beyond. But the conspiracy subplot is forgivable, given the compelling drama of the main plot at the prison.
A second problem with the first season, and the series by-in-large, is that the plot gets stretched out too much and becomes too contrived. Several rather convenient plot devices show up that prolong the escape; cell mates change, the map is corrupted, the execution date changed, etc., etc. A certain level of leeway is necessary, given the premise that Michael Scofield disguises the prison blueprints and his escape plan in a full-body tattoo, but eventually the plan becomes so convoluted that the complexity of the escape pushes the bounds of believability. Still, the mystery of the escape is so intriguing and adieus that you suspend any disbelief.
The plot of season one follows three main story arks. First is the prison story, Lincoln Burrows is on death row for the murder of the vice president's brother. Lincoln's brother, Michael Scofield, intentionally holds up a bank to get sent to the same prison as him with a plan to break him out. The second story ark follows a lawyer friend of Michael and Lincoln's who takes up Lincoln's case and uncovers a conspiracy. The final ark follows the vice president, who attempts to foil Michael's plans, keep the conspiracy under wraps, and engages in a power struggle with The Company (a multinational conglomerate.)
The setup is brilliant. Michael Scofield has planned the escape down to the smallest detail. At the very beginning Michael has an entire wall covered in newspaper articles, blueprints, and other paraphernalia that give subtle clues to the plan. He discovers the location of a key witness to a mob hit in order to coerce mob boss John Abruzzi into aiding the prison escape by arranging transportation. Michael also discovers the true identity of the infamous D.B. Cooper hijacking, giving him access to money he'll need once he's on the outside. He also researches the background of the prison warden and doctor so that he can manipulate himself into their graces and thus into key areas of the prison necessary for the escape.
The cast of the show is exceptional, with maybe one or two exceptions. Peter Stormare (The Big Lebowski) is perfectly cast at the former mob boss John Abruzzi, who is caught in a power play by the mafia to force him into getting Michael to reveal the location of the prosecution witness, Fibinoci. Wade Williams, who plays the head prison guard Brad Bellick, delivers a captivating performance as the devious and crooked guard who shakes down the inmates, is on the mafia take, and yet presents a very menacing threat to the escape. But the prison character that steals the show in every scene is Robert Knepper (The Transporter 3) as "T-Bag." T-Bag is one of the best villains ever seen on television. He so deliciously and deviously evil, that you find yourself rooting for the character. Much like BSG's Giaus Baltar, he's able to manipulate every situation to his advantage.
Dominic Parcell (Blade Trinity) does a good job playing the character of Lincoln Burrows. There's a subtleness to the performance that makes you believe that he's tough enough to command the fear and respect of the other prisoners, but that there's still good in him worthy of rescuing. Robin Tunney (End of Days) does a good enough job portraying the stalwart attorney tirelessly working to exonerate Lincoln. Giving a very impressive performance as the prison doctor, Sara Tancredi, is Sarah Wayne Callies. To both seek redemption and rebel against her father she attempt to help others in whatever way she can, but she's smart enough to see through Michael's facade. And last but not least, Wentworth Miller gives a commanding performance as Michael Scofield. He's a compelling protagonist, risking everything to save the life of his brother, but struggling to make the moral compromised necessary.
In some respect, Prison Break was marketed as the next 24, and in a lot of ways it was. It breaks from the real time aspect of 24, yet it stays time compressed and adrenaline filled. The series is full of unexpected twists and turns that keep you on the edge guessing what will happen next. And despite the rather eccentric premise of the show, it has a remarkable amount of realism. It's a show about a prison, and bad things happen there. It doesn't shy away from the rapes, murders, shankings, and race conflicts that happen within a prison. Outside the prison the show goes a little wayward, but inside the shit gets real.
Season one of Prison Break was nothing short of brilliant. Not since Lost had a show presented as much mystery and intrigue. And like Lost, Prison Break rooted itself in the characters. By the end of the season you find yourself rooting for the motley crew of criminals that Scofield breaks out, despite their being murders, thieves, etc. You're so engrossed in the stories of these characters, that you don't want it to end. Every show has its flaws, but the truly great ones get you to look passed the defects and become invested in the characters and their story.
Extra Features
It is the rare DVD set that receives worthy extra features. But Prison Break: Season One is just such a set. Loaded with commentaries and features, Fox gave Prison Break top treatment. When a network really believes in a series it shows, and Prison Break is a great example of this. No less than three behind the scenes featurettes were filmed for season one, and one was even shown on television as a extra episode.
It's also evident that the creators and actors were passionate about this series. Numerous creators, producers, and actors sat down for interviews that appear in the featurettes. And a multitude of producers, writes, and actors contributed to the episodes commentaries. Nearly a quarter of the episodes have commentaries, and several of those have multiple tracks with different groups of actors and show creators. Prison Break: Season One is guaranteed to please every fan and increase one's appreciation for the series.
Commentaries: Numerous actors, writers, and producers offer commentary on a variety of episodes. It's fairly meaty, with good insight into the show and its creation. Though a good deal of the actor commentaries veer into praise for their fellow actors and uninteresting antic-dotes about shooting certain scenes.
Making of Prison Break: This behind-the-scenes featurette looks at the creation of the show through cast interviews and discussion with show creators.
If These Walls Could Speak –Profile of the Joliet Correctional Center: An in-depth look is taken at the real life prison that served as the set to Prison Break.
Beyond the Ink Tattoo: This featurette takes an in-depth look at the design of Michael's tattoo art and how the clues were incorporated into the tattoo design.

A review of Campylobacter.Edited by: Samuel K. Sheppard read more ...An important resource summarising our current knowledge of Campylobacter ecology and evolution. Essential reading! |
Adapted from Irving Nachamkin and Patricia Guerry in Foodborne Pathogens: Microbiology and Molecular BiologyCampylobacter: Campylobacter spp., primarily Campylobacter jejuni subsp. jejuni is one of the major causes of bacterial gastroenteritis in the U.S. and worldwide. Campylobacter infection is primarily a foodborne illness, usually without complications; however, serious sequelae such as Guillain-Barre Syndrome occur in a small subset of infected patients. Detection of Campylobacter jejuni in clinical samples is readily accomplished by culture and non-culture methods, although improvements in diagnostic approaches are needed. A significant body of knowledge exists on the epidemiology of Campylobacter infections; however, much less is known about the mechanism of disease, despite over 2 decades of research.

Cyclist Azizulhasni Awang Crosses The Finish Line With 8-Inch Splinter Through His Leg (Pics)
The Daily Gambling Fix 2/21/11 — Rosalee
Here are some of the best sports plays for all you gamblers out there.
The Game: Chicago Blackhawks @ St. Louis Blues
The Reason: With Halak injured, the Blues will likely go with Ty Conklin between the pipes, who has allowed an average of 4.07 goals against in two games against the Hawks this season. As for the Hawks goaltenders, they have allowed a total of 14 goals against in four games against the Blues this season. Look for both teams to light the lamp early and often as this game goes over the total.
The Game: Pittsburgh Penguins @ Washington Capitals
The Reason: These two teams have been playing some rather solid defense lately and all three of their games thus far this season have gone under the total. With Crosby and Malkin out, look for another low-scoring defensive battle in Washington tonight.
Overall Record: (568-437-22) – Winning Percentage (0.56)

The next work of taut, dark, and beautifully crafted literary fiction by the author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist, The Bright Forever.
Laney—a skinny, awkward teenager alone in the world--thinks she's found a kindred spirit in thirty-five-year old Delilah. "When I was with her," Laney says, "I felt closest to being the person I was meant to be...We could have been sisters, big and little, which some people thought we were." Then the police come to ask Laney questions and she finds herself reconstructing a story of suspense, deceit, and revenge, but also "a story of love, no matter how roughed up and ugly and stained." A story that will haunt her forever.
Seven hundred miles away, in Texas, Miss Baby has the hardened heart of a woman who has been used by men in every possible way, yet she is desperate for true love. When she meets a stranger, a man who claims he can't remember his real name or his past but who seems gentle and trusting, Miss Baby thinks she may have finally found someone to love, someone who will protect her from the abusive men who fill her past.
But Miss Baby and Laney are connected by a terrible crime and bit by bit, the complex web of deceptions and seemingly small misjudgments they've each helped to create starts to unravel. Action, speculation, and contradiction play off one another as the story is told through their first-person voices, which keep you nervously guessing all the way to the shocking, tragic climax. BREAK THE SKIN is a novel about "wanting to matter to someone, wanting it so badly that you did things you never could have imagined, and you swore they were right, all for the sake of love."

Elias Canetti (/kəˈnɛti, kɑː-/; Bulgarian: Елиас Канети; 25 July 1905 – 14 August 1994) was a German language author, born in Bulgaria, and later a British citizen. He was a modernist novelist, playwright, memoirist, and non-fiction writer.[1] He won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1981, "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power".[2]
Born to businessman Jacques Canetti and Mathilde née Arditti in Ruse, a city on the Danube in Bulgaria, Elias Canetti was the eldest of three sons.[3] His ancestors were Sephardi Jews who had been expelled from Spain in 1492. His paternal ancestors had settled in Ruse from Ottoman Adrianople.[3] The original family name was Cañete, named after Cañete, Cuenca, a village in Spain.
In Ruse, Elias' father and grandfather were successful merchants who operated out of a commercial building, which they had built in 1898.[4] Canetti's mother descended from one of the oldest Sephardi families in Bulgaria, Arditti, who were among the founders of the Ruse Jewish colony in the late 18th century. The Ardittis can be traced back to the 14th century, when they were court physicians and astronomers to the Aragonese royal court of Alfonso IV and Pedro IV. Before settling in Ruse, they had lived in Livorno in the 17th century.[5]
Canetti spent his childhood years, from 1905 to 1911, in Ruse until the family moved to Manchester, England, where Canetti's father joined a business established by his wife's brothers. In 1912 his father died suddenly, and his mother moved with their children first to Lausanne, then Vienna in the same year. They lived in Vienna from the time Canetti was aged seven onwards. His mother insisted that he speak German, and taught it to him. By this time Canetti already spoke Ladino (his native language), Bulgarian, English and some French; the latter two he studied in the one year they were in Britain. Subsequently the family moved first (from 1916 to 1921) to Zürich and then (until 1924) to Frankfurt, where Canetti graduated from high school.
Canetti went back to Vienna in 1924 in order to study chemistry. However, his primary interests during his years in Vienna became philosophy and literature. Introduced into the literary circles of First-Republic-Vienna, he started writing. Politically leaning towards the left, he was present at the July Revolt of 1927 – he came near to the action accidentally, was most impressed by the burning of books (recalled frequently in his writings), and left the place quickly with his bicycle.[citation needed] He gained a degree in chemistry from the University of Vienna in 1929, but never worked as a chemist.
A highly awarded German language writer, Canetti won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1981, "for writings marked by a broad outlook, a wealth of ideas and artistic power". He is known chiefly for his celebrated tetralogy of autobiographical memoirs of his childhood and of pre-Anschluss Vienna (Die Gerettete Zunge; Die Fackel im Ohr; Das Augenspiel; and Das Geheimherz der Uhr: Aufzeichnungen), for his modernist novel Auto-da-Fé (Die Blendung), and for Crowds and Power, a study of crowd behaviour as it manifests itself in human activities ranging from mob violence to religious congregations.
He died in Zürich in 1994.[6]
In 1934 he married Veza (Venetiana) Taubner-Calderon (1897–1963) with whom he had a dynamic relationship. She acted as his muse and devoted literary assistant. Canetti however remained open to relationships with other women.
In 1938, after the Anschluss uniting Austria with Germany, Canetti moved to London where he became closely involved with the painter Marie-Louise von Motesiczky, who was to remain a close companion for many years to come. His name has also been linked with that of the author Iris Murdoch (see John Bayley's Iris, A Memoir of Iris Murdoch, where there are several references to an author, referred to as "the Dichter", who was a Nobel Laureate and whose works included Die Blendung [English title Auto-da-Fé]).
Canetti's wife died in 1963. His second marriage was to Hera Buschor (1933–1988), with whom he had a daughter, Johanna, in 1972.
Canetti's brother Jacques settled in Paris, where he championed a revival of French chanson.[7]
Despite being a German language writer, Canetti settled and stayed in Britain until the 1970s, receiving British citizenship in 1952. For his last 20 years, however, Canetti mostly lived in Zürich.

TipTap Lab Breakthrough Poised To Revolutionize Consumer Behavior Research: Announcing The Image Selection Task
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., March 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- TipTap Lab, the research division of TipTap Inc., unveils the Image Selection Task(IST)™. For the first time, brands, agencies, and researchers will be able to access the nonconscious motivations that drive consumers' purchasing decisions. TipTap Lab uses a unique psychological approach to identify the true motivations behind why people buy.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130319/NE79795LOGO )
At the crossroads of leading edge technology and consumer psychology, TipTap Lab uses web-based tools and scientific methods to measure and assess the psychological traits and motivations that drive consumer behavior. Psychological trait and motivation data is complementary to traditional demographic and interest data (it explains variance unaccounted for by traditional data), and research has shown it to be vastly more predictive and powerful (it explains much more variance than traditional data). As a result, TipTap Lab provides companies and brands the ability to market more effectively and efficiently.
The IST was developed and validated through extensive research over last three years. This testing and empirical validation included analyzing data from multiple consumer-facing applications and websites, and many large scale research projects involving over 40,000 people.
"TipTap Lab provided actionable insights for all aspects of our business efforts, from messaging to product packaging to market expansion that completely transformed our understanding of our customers," said Mark Parish, owner of Massachusetts dairy farm Crescent Ridge. "My family has owned Crescent Ridge for over 80 years, and our customers have always proven loyal to our brand because of our high quality and locally-delivered dairy products. Distinguishing the factors that motivated purchasing behavior allowed us to cut unnecessary costs and focus on what mattered. TipTap Lab helped us understand the key motivating factors driving consumer behavior at a level never before exposed to us." TipTap Lab is offering an exclusive understanding of the process during a live webinar April 17th, 2013. The research team who developed the framework will explain the unprecedented power of the Image Selection Task. The team consists of leading psychological researchers in implicit cognition, nonconscious decision making, and evolutionary and personality psychology, Geoffrey Miller, Christopher Nocera, and Kyle Thomas. "Our past three years of research have led to insights and breakthroughs that give us a completely novel way to understand consumer motivations and predict behavior," said Kyle Thomas, Director of Research at TipTap Lab. "Our cutting edge tools and methods offer a revolutionary way to understand consumers, and we are excited to finally reveal them to the world and help other researchers and marketers understand consumers at a very deep level." "Companies and brands today are creating competitive differentiation by collecting and analyzing data on what customers do. We are helping them understand why they do it," said Dan Cudgma, Co-Founder and President of TipTap Lab.

Sprengel Deformity is a rare congenital disorder in which the shoulder blade is displaced upward. The elevated shoulder blade causes a lump in the back of the base of the neck and may limit movement of the arm on the affected side. This disorder typically appears at birth for no apparent reason although there have been cases in which the disorder was inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Other skeletal and muscular abnormalities have been found in association with Sprengel Deformity.

Miss Justine |
Miss Justine
From the liner notes of Tasty, by Bob Perkins, radio personality and jazz columnist:
"Upon hearing Miss Justine sing during an impromptu gathering, music critic/author and lyricist Gene Loos (who wrote the words for Jobim's "Someone to Light Up My Life (on Tasty) was so awed by her that he dubbed her "the Lady with the Amazing Pipes." Such praise form high places is no isolated incident: the great tunesmiths of bygone days must smile down appreciatively whenever Justine interprets their legendary melodies. They might also be heard to sigh collectively, "Gee, if he's been a contemporary, we'd have been famous sooner."
If may be an unfair standard, but Miss Justine still serves as one of the very few yardsticks by which I measure any vocalist".

After going 2-0 last year, things are looking promising for former pro wrestler Bobby Lashley's mixed martial arts career in 2012. One exciting development in Lashley's career is the possibility of a signing with rapidly rising promotion Bellator.
Breaking the news to Fighters Only when we visited him at his American Top Team: Altitude gym in Colorado, Lashley explained, "It was a contract that was just put on the table... I got the call yesterday so I don't even know any of the details of the deal. I think Bellator is a great company and I would love to be able to fight for them."
Lashley also spoke about the possibility of a fight with the legendary Fedor Emelianenko. "The guy's got a tremendous amount of fights under his belt... I'd like to fight him."
According to Lashley, Fedor's managers are currently looking for the Russian MMA veteran's next opponent, and his name is on the list of potential matchups. "I'm going to throw everything at him that I can. Of course, my wrestling's there, I don't give a damn what he's doing. I'd put my wrestling up there with almost anyone right now.
"I think that my wrestling would trump some of the things that he has. I know he's a great fighter, but if I fought him then of course I'm going to try and wrestle him down... If it was Dave [Bautista], I'm standing and banging with him. I've been doing a lot of boxing."
A potential bout between Lashley and fellow former WWE star Dave Bautista, aka Batista, is something that has been on the minds of fans and reporters for quite some time now. Though it remains to be seen if that fight will ever happen, the ATT heavyweight is still interested in the idea.
"I know a lot of people are looking at that fight and saying I shouldn't take it, but that's the entertainment aspect of [MMA]. If the wrestling fans want that then it's an opportunity for me to have a fight, which will probably warrant a good amount of money... I'll take that fight, no problem."
At 35 years old, it is clear that Lashley is as hungry as any young upcoming fighter in the sport. "I wanna fight the best, so if I have an opportunity to fight Fedor, let's do it. If I have an opportunity to fight anyone right now let's just damn do it."

It has been argued that Malas and Madigas are one, and the sub-categorisation of 15% SC reservations leads to break their unity. If at all, if there is any similarity is to be arrived at, it is like the relation that exists between the Twice born, the Brahmins and the Vaisyas among vegetarians, the Kammas and Kapus among the Sudras. The Malas and Madigas are different in the sense that they among the so-called Un-touchables or Dalits. But in reality there was nothing that unites the Malas and Madigas, according to researches done by Anthropologists.
Malas and Madigas have Different Origins
On the nature of Malas and Madigas, Anthropologist Dr. V. Ramachandra Rao analysed in the following way:
The Mahars in neighbouring Maharashtra akin to the Malas. Similar communities are found, the Mala- pahadiyas in Bengal and a similar caste in Tamilnadu. There may be a link to the Mallahs of UP, who are ferrymen (river crossing boats), but Im not sure. Overall, the Malas are still very poor labourers, but many have taken to education and have joined the middle class. The number of educated professional people with a Mala background, like doctors, engineers is rising steadily. There are many in government service. Long time Mala politicians are quite rich, of course. There are very few Mala industrialists.
Anthropologist, Dr. V. Ramachandra Rao writes about the Madigas:
One of the largest Scheduled grouping in India, the Madigas has a very ancient presence. They are today mainly poor leather workers and agricultural labourers, although there are references in ancient literature and stories, which allude to their important role. The Madiga community is known as the Mang in Maharastra, the Chakkaliya in Tamil Nadu and possibly the Matang in North India.
George W. Briggs writes:
The great leather-working caste of the Telugu country is the Madiga. He lives on the outskirts of the village. He is described as coarse and filthy, as a cater of unclean food, and as a user of obscene language. He works in leather, and serves as a menial and as a scavenger. Many (p. 31) Madigas are practically serfs. Most of them are field labourers. They beat drums at festivals. In some parts of the country they still have their perquisites (jajmdn), these are disappearing under competition. They perform the revolting parts of bloody sacrifices, and aid in removing the demons of disease. Their girls are often dedicated to temple service (behaves). The caste is divided into a number of endogamous divisions with exogamous steps, some of which seem to be totemistic. Widows are re-married. Divorce is easily secured. They have a patichayat, or council. They both bury and burn their dead. In 1902 ten per cent of the Madigas were returned as Christians. (George W.Briggs, The Chamars, Oxford University Press, Calcutta, 1920, p. 32)
Malas and Madigas differ in Physical Appearance
It was stated in the Internet Encyclopaedia from Googly, that Malas are well-built people:
The Malas are generally healthy, well built, stock, dark complexioned, with large heads and faces well proportioned limbs etc.. They are very tough and capable of sustained physical work, which few communities can match. Perhaps thats why they have a good sense of humour and are cheerful. By the way Andhra area was renowned for wrestlers and wrestling, locally called Malla-yuddha. (Could there be some connection to Malas?)
Regarding the Mala (Caste) Wikipedia, the Eree Encyclopaedia, contains as follows:
Mala or Malla (not the same as the family name Malla) is derived from Sanskrit word Malla for wrestler, which can be loosely translated, as soldier or even, associated with an ancient ruling dynasty in North India and Nepal. It should be noted that the word Mala in Proto Dravidian means a mountain.
Anthropologist Dr. V. Ramachandra Rao writes that the Madigas are thin and delicately built:
The Madigas are light brown to dark complexioned, usually slim and smooth featured, in some cases delicately builtthe girls are said to be of padmini-jati as the old Indian saying goes---- Physically quite different from the Malas. The Madigas are mentioned in very old Indian books so they have been in these parts from a long time.
George W.Briggs writes:
Their women are beautiful, and from amongst them are usually chosen the woman for the coarser form of sakti worship. (George W.Briggs, The Chamars, Oxford University Press, Calcutta, 1920)
100 years back: Malas are Employees, and Madigas are Coolies
As bearing on the social status of the Malas and Madigas, which is a subject of dispute between the two classes, it may be noted that all the billets in cotton factories which require any skill, such as engine-drivers, valve-men, moulders, turners, etc., are held by Malas. The Madigas are generally only three-anna wage men, and do such work as turning a winch, moving bales, and other trivial jobs. At a factory, whereat I stayed, at Adoni, there were three wells, viz.:--for Malas , for Madigas, and for the rest of the workers, except Brahmans. And the well water for the Malas was better than that for the Madigas. (Edgar Thurston, and K.Rangachari, Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Government Press, Madras, 1909)
Frequent Collusion between the Malas and Madigas
A Madigas chindu, or sword dance, was prohibited in 1859 and 1874. But a petition, referring to its obscene nature, and its being the cause of frequent collision between the Malas and Madigas, was submitted to the Collector of Kurnool in 1887, by a missionary. The dance was performed at festivals, held annually or triennially, in honour of the village goddess, and during the time of threshing corn, building a new house, or the opening of a newly dug well. The dance, accompanied by song containing grossly indecent reflections against the Malas, was also performed, under the excitement of strong drinks, in the presence of the goddess, on the occasion of marriages. One verse ran as follows: I shall cut with my saw the Malas of the four houses at Nandyal, and, having caused them to be cut up, shall remove their skins, and fix them to drums. (Edgar Thurston, and K.Rangachari, Castes and Tribes of Southern India, Government Press, Madras, 1909)
Regarding the culture of the Madigas, Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopaedia, contains the following:
Madigas contributed a lot to the music and dance. The origin for the Jaaz drums comes from the primitive but exact rhythm and beat producing Tappet Tanned Skins covered on the wooden round frames and were played by beating them two sticks. The sound variation they bring by warming them when the weather is wet and humid.
Dr. V. Ramachandra Rao writes that the Malas are cunning and wise and attached to their caste:
At the same time they are said to be always thinking about some shortcut scheme or the other, somewhat lazy (if they can get away with it). They are said to be unselfish, have a helping nature towards everybody, but slightly suspicious of intentions of the forward communities. They are very much attached to their community-caste (although they act as if they are not they act innocent until caught, when they embarrassedly laugh). (http:/indeulture0. Tripod.com/mala.htm)
Very soon the Malas will become BC rather than SC
Anthropologist Dr. V. Ramachandra Rao writes that Malas have to be removed from the Scheduled Caste List and be placed in the Backward Caste list; his words are as follows:
Unfortunately the Malas look down on the Madigas and traditionally had no use for them, and there is a history of clashes with the Madigas, who are another large SC community of south India.
Overall, at least in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra, the Mala-Mahar is forging ahead very rapidly. They are very deeply attached to the works of Dr.Ambedkar. But few Malas have taken to Buddhism in Andhra Pradesh. The Mala quarters in villages generally have a statue of Dr. Ambedkar. Very soon the Malas will become BC rather than SC. It will display better social development indicators as a community.
The upper crust of the Malas in cities are taking to education in a big way and rapidly modernising. (Actually in Andhra Pradesh many of these urban Malas ought to be considered BC not SC if social indication are any index)


text: 6/6/2011 Not since Wyatt Earp and his deputized brothers (played epically by Kurt Russell and crew in "Tombstone") squared off against the Clantons in the OK Corral has the Wild West witnessed such a brawl. In a battle that has been raging since before reintroduced packs of gray wolves in the West began their documented path of harassment and attacks on livestock and wildlife populations, pro-management groups seem to be gaining the upper hand—at least temporarily. But anti-hunting groups cloaked in the more public-friendly façade of caring environmentalists have stepped back into the arena and thrown a renewed flurry of legal punches. But like Doc Holliday, sportsmen's organizations such as the NRA, Safari Club International and the Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation have been quick to the draw. Can you say, "Huckleberry?" On May 4 of this year, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Serve (USFWS) moved to reinstate its 2009 decision to delist biologically recovered gray wolf populations in the Northern Rocky Mountains. That original decision, which effectively turned management of the wolves over to the states where the reintroduced packs had been placed, largely affected people and wildlife living in Idaho, Montana, Washington, Utah and parts of Oregon. Wolves will remain listed under the Endangered Species Act in Wyoming until that state develops a wolf management plan that is accepted by the Feds. The original delisting led to the opening of a couple of hunting seasons for wolves in order to help control the packs, which have far exceeded the original goal of 100 wolves and 10 breeding pairs in each of the three primary recovery states of Montana, Idaho and Wyoming. That goal was met back in 2002. Today, it is estimated there are more than 1,700 wolves in the region and their impact on wildlife has been severe. But that amount may actually be much higher. At a press conference earlier this year, RMEF President and CEO David Allen revealed that wildlife populations, such as the Yellowstone elk herd, had suffered tremendously as a result of harsh winters and the effects of wolf depredation to go from an estimated 19,000 animals in the mid 1990s to just over 4,600 elk this year. Toby Bridges, with a wolf control advocacy group called Lobo Watch, reports that Idaho's Lolo Unit elk population has been effectively reduced by 70 to 80 percent as a result of wolf depredation. In an interview with Montana NBC news affiliate KECI Allen said, "Animal rights groups and some media are still using the 2008 wolf population estimate of 1,700 for the northern Rockies as if no population growth is occurring. But wolves reproduce by as much as 25 percent each year. Simple math shows it's possible there could be more than 3,000 wolves in the northern Rockies by the end of 2011—almost double the number we usually see in the news." Indeed, go to any hunting or western outdoor message board where the topic of wolves is discussed and you will find countless anecdotes of elk and other big game being virtually wiped out in certain areas. It has gotten so bad in some parts of the country that outfitters have had to close up shop because of the lack of game. Despite all of the evidence, a coalition of anti-hunting and environmental groups managed to put a stop to any more hunts several years ago, arguing that wolf populations needed to remain under the protection of the ESA listing. The move tied up state management of wolf populations in the courts and Congress until the Fiscal Year 2011 appropriation's bill reinstated the intent of the 2009 decision and forced USFWS's move on May 4. "Like other iconic species such as the whooping crane, the brown pelican and the bald eagle, the recovery of the gray wolf is another success story of the Endangered Species Act," said Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar. Of course, whooping cranes and pelicans have never torn apart a 100-pound elk calf or a rancher's cattle. A recent press release by the NRA revealed that, although language in the federal budget bill stated that the most recent delisting could not be challenged in court, the same day the announcement was made, four environmental groups—the Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Friends of the Clearwater, WildEarth Guardians and the Center for Biological Diversity—filed lawsuits doing just that. The NRA and SCI promptly counterpunched by filing for intervenor status in the challenges. RMEF has also filed to intervene in the case on the behalf of state governments and other pro-management interests. The most intense fighting has been at the state government level, as state wildlife agencies seek to strike a balance between appropriately managing wolves and maintaining their presence without overly impacting ranching, sporting and citizen interests in the affected areas. Much of the ire has been directed at the federal government in the form of the USFWS and federal courts, which have tied the state agencies' hands. As the law sits now, sportsmen in Montana and Idaho could see management hunts and available tags for taking wolves as early as this fall. It is a move—right now the only effective move—that will offer relief to hard-hit elk, deer and moose populations throughout the region. After the reinstated delisting, Idaho Department of Game and Fish Director Virgil Moore said his agency would act quickly to remove as many as 60 wolves from the hard-hit Lolo Unit. "Anti-hunting and animal rights extremists seek to incrementally destroy America's hunting heritage," said Chris Cox, Executive Director of NRA's Institute for Legislative Action. "The NRA's and SCI's filing for intervenor status seeks to ensure that American hunters and their interests are represented in this case, as we continue to fight for the complete delisting of gray wolves from the Endangered Species Act." As the showdown is far from over in the West, another in the upper Midwest is just heating up. As part of the USFWS's action early last month to reinstate the western wolf population's delisting, they also proposed to delist those recovered packs in the Western Great Lakes, which includes Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Wolf numbers total more than 4,000 animals in that region. Wisconsin farming interests, as well as sportsmen and citizens, have been lobbying for relief in that state from the effects of growing wolf packs, which have even been responsible for a number of pet deaths in the northern reaches of the state.

In a nutshell, Choptober is an annual fundraising event where people grow their sideburns ("chops") for charity during the month of October...
Choptober was created by Jeremy Mould and Seton Lillas: a couple of Kiwi lads who wanted to start a locally owned and run fundraiser where 100% of the donations received during the campaign would go straight to Kiwi charities. Choptober is raising money for five Kiwi charities including SIDS. How does Choptober work?
People who are keen to participate in Choptober ("Chop Growers") can register through http://www.choptober.co.nz. During registration they will be asked to nominate one of our five charities as the charity they wish to support.
Come October 1st participants start growing their chops and recruiting friends, family, colleagues and even complete strangers to sponsor them.
Donations from sponsors are collected via the Choptober website and passed in-full and direct to the "Chop Growers" nominated charity – no commissions, fees or cuts.
Charities get 100% of the money raised because the Choptober event is run using the personal funds of its founding members Jeremy and Seton, the kindness of Kiwi organisations that donate their services and of course their friends and family. The organisations that are involved have donated approximately $100,000 in goods and services to the campaign thus far.
Anyone and everyone! If you're keen to support children's charities then Choptober is for you.
You can participate by growing your chops, and/or by sponsoring someone who's growing theirs.
Growing sideburns isn't just for the blokes...we want all the women of New Zealand to take part too. Ladies can sculpt their hair to simulate sideburns, or use our patented fake sideburns (Chop Sticks) to create the desired look.
We have enlisted a number of "Celebrity Chop Growers" to lead the hair growing charge. Some of the names confirmed to participate thus far include Head Like A Hole, Quentin Pongia, Robbett Hollis (Host Of SnowTV), Karl Burnett, Michele A'Court, Mike King and Jason Napier (of facebook fame). ]
"Chop Growers" can register to take part at http://www.choptober.co.nz. You'll find everything you need to know about Choptober on the website.
To keep up-to-date with the latest Choptober news and become part of the community you can:

The scheme allows employees to make donations to SIDS and Kids and other charitable organisations automatically from their pay. It's a great alternative to giving, retaining a receipt and claiming a tax credit at the end of the year. The payment will be forwarded to SIDS and Kids New Zealand by the donor's employer, and the donor will receive immediate tax benefits, shown in their normal pay, based on the amount of their donation. If you make a $6.00 donation to SIDS and Kids New Zealand every week you will receive a tax credit of $2.00. Donations will go to help SIDS and Kids New Zealand provide support to families who lose a child and to provide resources to Moe Ora, our bassinette loan scheme providing beds for babies.
To support SIDS and Kids New Zealand talk to your employer and ask them to set up the scheme.
For more information on payroll giving visit the payroll information on the IRD website
Notice is hereby given of a special general meeting to be held on Saturday 16th January 2010.
The primary purpose of this meeting is to elect a new board to enable the organisation to comply with the constitution and our status as a Registered Charity. Other items will be discussed in relation to current projects and short term plans.
We encourage anyone who feels that they can contribute to the organisation of SIDS and Kids New Zealand Incorporated and the provision of support and resources for anyone who loses a child in New Zealand to attend.
