He was standing at the gate persuading me not to leave the university. He was saying, "You should not leave, particularly when the university has granted you a Ph.D. scholarship. You should not lose this opportunity." He was trying in thousands of ways to tell me that I was his most loved student. He said, "I have had many students all over the world, particularly in America" - because he had been teaching in America most of the time - "but I can say," he said to me, "I would not have bothered to convince any of them to remain. Why should I care? - it had nothing to do with me, it was their future. But as far as you are concerned" - and I remember his words with tears in my eyes - he said, "as far as you are concerned, it is my future." I cannot forget those words. Let me repeat them. He said, "Those other students' future was their own concern; your future is my future."
I said to him, "Why? Why should my future be your future?"
He said, "That is something I would rather not talk about to you," and he started crying.
I said, "I understand. Please don't cry. But I cannot be persuaded to do anything against my own mind, and it is set in a totally different dimension. I am sorry to disappoint you. I know perfectly well how much you had hoped, how happy you were that I topped the whole university. I have seen you, just like a child, so joyous about the gold medal that was given not even to you, but to me."
I didn't care a bit about that gold medal. I threw it down a very deep well, so deep that I don't think anybody is going to find it again; and I did it in front of Doctor Sri Krishna Saxena.
He said, "What are you doing? What have you done?" - because I had already thrown it down the well. And he had been so happy that I had been chosen for a scholarship. It was for an indefinite period, from two to five years.
He said, "Please reconsider again."
The first gate was the "Elephant Gate," and I was standing with my father not wanting to enter. And the last gate was also an "Elephant Gate," and I was standing with my old professor, not wanting to enter again. Once was enough, twice would have been too much.
The argument that had begun at the first gate lasted up till the second gate. The no that I had said to my father was the same no that I had said to my professor, who was really a father to me. I can feel its quality. He cared for me as much as my own father had cared, or perhaps even more. When I was ill he would not sleep; he would sit at my bedside the whole night. I would say to him, "You are old, doctor," I used to call him doctor, "please go to sleep."
He used to say, "I'm not going to sleep unless you promise that by tomorrow you will be perfectly well."
And I had to promise - as if being sick or not depended on my promise - but somehow, once I had promised him, it worked. That's why I say there is something like magic in the world.
That "no" became my tone, the very stuff of my whole existence. I said to my father, "No, I don't want to enter this gate. This is not a school, it's a prison." The very gate, and the color of the building.. It is strange, particularly in India, the jails and the schools are painted the same color, and they are both made of red brick. It is very difficult to know whether the building is a prison or a school. Perhaps once a practical joker had managed to play a joke, but he did it perfectly.

Children's LiteratureLike every school year this one has zoomed by and now—finally—it is the last day of school. Papers and projects have been taken home, books and school supplies are neatly stacked on classroom shelves. Everyone is talking about the day's special events: a picnic for fifth graders only, giant lollipops for kids with perfect attendance, and a longer recess. And in the backpacks of some of the students are farewell gifts to give to their teachers. Matthew Perez has a very special gift for his teacher, Mrs. Mallory. For the past year Matthew has been the "Official Timekeeper of Room 6," a job Mrs. Mallory assigned to Matt because he always knew the correct time, down to the exact minute and second. Matt wants to wait until the very end of the day, until it is the perfect time, to give Mrs. Mallory his special surprise. But now time is running out. The bell has rung. Kids are dashing out of school to the buses. Where is Mrs. Mallory? Matt can not find her anywhere. The bus engines are revving up. Will Matt have time to say thank you and good-bye? Will he have time to give Mrs. Mallory her perfect gift? The book and its illustrations capture all of the mixed emotions of the last day of school. 2006, Margaret K. McElderry Books/Simon & Schuster, Ages 5 to 8.

So I have just began my first 5 gallon brew, its a kit called German Oktoberfest, and I basically followed the directions that came with the kit.
Also I've read all the way through the intermediate brewers section of the the Homebrewers Guide (don't worry have a homebrew) to gain a little more knowledge as to what I was doing and why I was doing the steps in the instructions.
One thing that I did that wasn't in the instructions that came with the kit. I read in the intermediate section of the Homebrewers Guide that it was good to rehydrate your dry yeast... Having never done this before I just followed the directions word for word, Boil 1 and a half cups of water for 15 minutes, set aside in a sanitized cup or jar with foil on top till tempurature drops between 105 - 100 degrees F, when temp read 102 I put the yeast in to the cup and recovered it with the foil, rehydrated for 30 min, and lowered the temp to close to that of the wort, which was about 75 degrees F. I took my hydrometer reading it was 1.052, right on target as to what it should be, capped it up, stabbed my airlock in and put it in the climate controlled garage at a stable 50 degrees F.
My problem is that its been 5 days now and my airlock dosn't really bubble at all. I can see that there is air displacing the water, and there is definatley pressure building up under the lid, I pressed down on it once and it shot out one big bubble, but it dosn't seem to want to chug away like i've seen on some videos of peoples primary fermentations.
Can anyone tell me if im on track, and if not where I went wrong?
If you used an ale yeast you need to get the temp up to about 60F to start fermenting.
What yeast are you using?
im fairly new myself, but if its an ale, thats way too cold for it to ferment. ale yeast is active between 68-75 degrees F if i'm not mistaken. lager is needs cooler temperatures
i forgot to mention it is a lager yeast.
Primary Fermenter: Empty
Secondary Fermenter: Kolsch
Bottled: German Oktoberfest, Irish Red Ale, Belgian Tripel, Red Ale
Kegged: Speckled Heifer, Oatmeal Stout, Blonde Ale
I've never lagered, but have read that those yeast don't get crazy when they are fermenting. You can check the gravity to see if it's dropping, that's the only true way to tell if it's started. Perhaps your bucket lid is leaking a bit and there's not much coming out of the airlock.
Lager yeasts are much slower than ale yeasts. People tend to pitch 2-3 times as much yeast.What I do is pitch warm, the way you did, but keep it warm until fermentation starts. This lets the yeast multiply faster.
Has any foam formed on the top of the wort?
Remember one unassailable statistic, as explained by the late, great George Carlin: "Just think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize half of them are even stupider!"
"I would like to die on Mars, just not on impact." Elon Musk
I can see a thin layer of foam on in through the bucket, about an inch thick and it is bubbling, just incredibly slow. The instructions do say to keep it in there for about 2 weeks, then to see if the SG stays the same for at least 2 days before moving it into the secondary fermenter for another 2 weeks before bottling... I guess another question I have is how long do ales usually ferment for?
i think i know what the problem is. your brewing in a bucket right? a non-bubbling airlock is normal for buckets. sometimes they don't get a good seal around the lid and CO2 escapes that way instead of the airlock. the airlock is not a fermentation indicator its a pressure release valve. if the pressure can be release else where it will. that foam you see is karusen and is a prime indicator that fermentation is going on. wait the 2 weeks the rase the temp 10 degrees for a week then drop it to 40 for a month.
I am in a bucket, should I not bother with the buckets and opt to get a second glass carboy? Well if that is the case then that is pretty relieving. So i'm just gonna follow my schedule and in 8 days take a hydrometer reading, then another the day after, then im gonna rack it into my secondary fermenter, which the glass carboy was recomended as the second one in the instructions, and sit on it for 2 more weeks then.
buckets are just fine. they don't break and protect your brew from UV very nicely. but they do get scratched easy which can lead to infection. glass carboys are durable and unless you using a diamond tipped brush don't scratch. but they are heavy and break when dropped. also new brewers tend to freak out at the actual sight of an active fermentation.
the schedule sounds a little rushed to me which is typical for kits.

Brixton Academy hotels
Brixton Academy
The intimate Brixton Academy is located in Brixton, South London and is one of the premier concert venues in the UK. Officially known as the O2 Academy, Brixton this building has played host to a number of major international rock acts since becoming a music venue in 1983. The theatre has undergone many changes since it first opened its doors as a cinema in 1929. Brixton Academy is now one of the largest non-arena venues in London and regularly features major acts like Madonna and Bob Dylan while maintaining its charm and small theatre feel.
- Visit Brixton Academy on one of its Club Nights, where the hottest DJ's from around London spin records that keep the dance floor moving well into the night.
- Come to Brixton Academy in September for the Masters of Comedy Tour, a line-up of some of London's most well known and admired comedians.
- Arrive at the club early and sip cocktails before the show, as the opening acts can often be found hanging around the bar.
People coming to Brixton Academy from London can do so in a number of ways. The Victoria Line of the London Underground stops at the Brixton station, just a short walk from the venue, and on concert nights you will see groups of black-clad concertgoers walking the streets. Parking at Brixton Academy can be tough to find, as the venue does not have its own car park, so drivers should arrive early to make sure they get a spot. Taxis usually line the streets after shows and can get late-night partiers safely back to their destinations.

I cannot buy a farm today that yields 8%, net of expenses. I cannot buy a rental property that yields 8%, net of expenses.I cannot buy one of those silly oil trusts that yields 8%, but YPF has the ability to expand production.I am pretty charged up over YPF right now and I would not worry too much about the market.Thanks for the link.

The school shooting that few remember
Newtown, Conn. ‑ What do you know about Chardon, Ohio? I have spent the past week putting this question to my friends and neighbors in Newtown, the place I have called home, off and on, since 1968. I asked my contacts, from the whip-smart hedge fund manager and graduate of Yale Law School to the big-hearted leader of a philanthropic foundation. Not one had heard of Chardon.
Shamefully, neither had I until two weeks ago, when I stumbled across a card sent to the Sandy Hook Elementary School. My 12-year-old son and I were combing through a dozen boxes, from among the tens of thousands of cards and letters that have arrived at our town hall. We were looking for artwork we could use to decorate the office walls of Sandy Hook Promise, the nonprofit I co-founded with fellow citizens to help our community heal and eventually find its voice on matters related to eliminating gun violence
Newtown's community struggles to understand one of its own
This column was originally published in the Wall Street Journal.
NEWTOWN, CONNECTICUT – The word "community" is overused. It is even the title of a television sitcom. But in the context of Newtown – the Connecticut town of 27,000 that I've known as home since 1969 – it is authentic. Yet from within our midst came Adam Lanza, now a murderer of 20 innocent local children, six of their dedicated teachers, and his own mother.
Today the world is focused on our heretofore-bucolic slice of America. As the international media's satellite dishes sprout and their choppers descend to dissect the shooting and the shooter, Newtown is mostly presented as either an affluent suburb of New York or a picture-perfect New England hamlet with old-timey colonial houses, horse farms and a historic Main Street.
Obama to join mourning Connecticut families in search for answers
NEWTOWN, Connecticut (Reuters) – President Barack Obama arrives in Connecticut on Sunday to join in the mourning for 20 children, all 6 and 7 years old, who were slaughtered by a gunman who forced his way into their school and shot them with a rifle at close range.
Obama's appearance at an interfaith vigil in the once-tranquil town of Newtown will be watched closely for clues as to what he meant when he called for "meaningful action" to prevent such tragedies in the wake of the massacre on Friday.
Children in Connecticut rampage, all six and seven, shot repeatedly
NEWTOWN, Connecticut (Reuters) – Twelve girls and eight boys. One had celebrated her seventh birthday just four days before her death. They were Charlotte and Jack, Noah and Grace.
Dressed in "cute kid stuff," all 20 died when a heavily armed 20-year-old gunman forced his way into their school, Sandy Hook Elementary, and shot them and six women in an act of violence that has shattered their once-tranquil suburban town.

Connecticut massacre shatters way of life in quiet town
NEWTOWN, Connecticut (Reuters) – Residents of Newtown, Connecticut grudgingly began to accept on Saturday that a town many cherished for its serenity and anonymity is now synonymous with a school massacre that will remain in the national spotlight for the foreseeable future.
Locals, many of whom settled in the upscale New England community about 80 miles from New York City to escape the hustle and noise, some feeling safe enough to leave their doors unlocked, feared that Friday's shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School claimed the lives of not only 20 children and six adults, but Newtown's way of life as well.
Search for answers begins after U.S. school massacre
, Dec 15 (Reuters) – People in the small
Connecticut community of Newtown grieved on Saturday over one of
the worst mass shootings in U.S. history and police sought
answers about what drove a 20-year-old gunman to slaughter 20
children at an elementary school.
The attacker, identified by law enforcement sources as Adam
Lanza, opened fire on Friday morning at Sandy Hook Elementary
School, which teaches children aged 5 to 10. He is suspected of
killing 26 people at the school before turning the gun on
himself, as well as killing one other person at another nearby
Too big to fail looks on its way to being licked
(The author is a Reuters Breakingviews columnist. The opinions
expressed are his own)
By Rob Cox
LONDON, Dec 12 (Reuters Breakingviews) – Has the too big to
fail problem been licked? The Bank of England and Federal
Deposit Insurance Corp sound pretty confident, declaring this
week they're nearly in a position to resolve a systemic failure
without inflicting losses on taxpayers. It's hard to know
without a test case. But the signal from capital markets
suggests watchdogs may be on to something.
Uncertain SEC leadership heralds 2013 dysfunction
(The authors are Reuters Breakingviews columnists. The opinions

By Rob Cox and Daniel Indiviglio
WASHINGTON, Dec 7 (Reuters Breakingviews) – Gridlock isn't
just a problem in the U.S. Congress. It may also freeze up the
Securities and Exchange Commission. By elevating one of five
commissioners to replace departing Chairman Mary Schapiro,
without naming a replacement, President Barack Obama has put the
Wall Street watchdog in a bind. Political expediency may present
substantial risks for investor protection.
HP breakup is on tech world's 2013 agenda
By Rob Cox and Robert Cyran
The authors are Reuters Breakingviews columnists. The opinions expressed are their own.
David Packard and William Hewlett may be Silicon Valley's answer to Romulus and Remus in Rome's founding story, but the era of their brainchild, Hewlett-Packard, as an everything-to-everyone conglomerate is coming to an end. Chief Executive Meg Whitman and HP's board, not to mention investors, won't stick around for an arduous and risky five-year turnaround project. Breaking the company into good bits and selling bad ones must be on the agenda for 2013.

(50% new oak; no whole clusters): Good bright, deep red. Soil-driven aromas and flavors of red berries, caraway seed, mocha, chocolate and spices, lifted by a floral topnote. Tactile and intense, with strong saline minerality contributing to the impression of energy and precision. Finishes with suave, fine-grained tannins and excellent lift.
(1/ 2013)
A spicy, fresh and mildly exotic nose of tea, wild red berries and plenty of pungent earth gives way to more obvious mineral-inflected flavors that possess a taut muscularity on the balanced, understated and attractively persistent finish. Even with the muscle, this is essentially a wine of finesse as the supporting tannins are really quite fine.
(1/ 2013)
From a vineyard on the Vosne side of the village, with prominent white limestone and relatively little topsoil. This has more mid-palate than this site sometimes delivers, with a fascinating combination of Nuit minerality and Vosne richness. Lovely, complete and well-balanced. Extraordinary!

The Jolie-Pitt
Foundation, started by Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt in
2006, has announced plans to make a $2 million
donation to the Global Health Committee to establish a
clinic in Ethiopia designed to treat children with
tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS, reports the Times of
Named after the
couple's 3-year-old daughter Zahara, the clinic will
follow in the footsteps of the Maddox Chivan Children's
Center, which provides medical education and social
services to children in Cambodia. The Ethiopian center
will also concentrate on fighting tuberculosis, the
main cause of death among children globally.
"Our goal is to
transfer the success we have had in Cambodia to
Ethiopia, where people are needlessly dying of tuberculosis,
a curable disease, and HIV/AIDS, a treatable disease,"
Jolie said in a statement.
"The fact that
poor people continue to die in our world today of TB,
a curable disease, because of lack of access to drugs and
care is unacceptable," said Pitt in the
statement. (The Advocate)

The Benton Police Department is teaming up with Nextdoor, a social network consisting of more than 50,000 neighborhoods across the United States, to help introduce neighbors to each other and help fight crime.
On 5/9/15, two officers with the Benton Police Department and their K-9's were nationally recognized at the 4th Annual National Criminal Enforcement Association (NCEA) conference in Virginia. The two officers that received awards were Sgt. Brian Bigelow and K-9 Lucky, and Officer Begoon and K-9 Ares.
Recently, the Benton Police Department acquired a retired ambulance that belonged to the military. The ambulance was acquired at no charge, outside the yearly $1,000 membership, through the 1033 Law Enforcement Support Office program, which allows for the transfer to law enforcement agencies.
The Mayor's Minute for March, 2015.
Congratulations to the men pictured below on their recent completion of Basic Firefighting Training at the Arkansas Fire Training Academy. The training consisted of 8 weeks of classroom and hands on training. Additional kudos are extended to Mr. Tate Finkbeiner who shared the honor of Highest Academic Achievement in the class.
Their training isn't complete though. In late March they will be returning to the Academy for five weeks of Emergency Medical Training.
These six new firefighters are further evidence of the 1/2 cent public safety initiative at work.
The Benton Police Department encourages all residents to use a free online system that will help them keep track of valuable --- and invaluable --- personal property. ReportIt is a free, secure online service allowing citizens to record serial numbers and upload images for phones, electronics, and other valuables. Should those items ever be stolen, having the information will go a long way in accurately and quickly identifying your property.
The Benton Police Department is starting the "Dang, I Got a Warrant" initiative on March 1st. This is an initiative to cut down on the backlog of active warrants currently in our system. As part of the initiative, we're hoping that if people realize they have an active warrant hanging over their head they will take time to take care of it.
After his State of the City Address last night, Mayor Mattingly unveiled a 3D Flyover video of the final design of the Riverside Park Complex to rave reviews. Groundbreaking for the Complex is scheduled for July 4th near the north end of the runway at the old airport. Check out the video below.

Sacramento Kings (0-2) at Indiana Pacers (1-1), 7 p.m.
(Sports Network) - The Indiana Pacers hope to rebound from a tough loss when they entertain the winless Sacramento Kings tonight in the home opener at Bankers Life Fieldhouse.
The Pacers fell victim to the Charlotte Bobcats last night, 90-89. The Bobcats had the worst winning percentage in NBA history a season ago and were able to snap a 23-game losing streak dating back to 2011-12.
Tyler Hansbrough and Lance Stephenson scored 15 points apiece off the bench to lead the Pacers, who defeated the Toronto Raptors in their season opener. David West finished with 14 points and six rebounds for Indiana, while Roy Hibbert had seven points and seven rebounds.
"I just think we turned the ball over the last five minutes," Hibbert said. "It's disheartening. We have to learn from it."
The Pacers shot just 39.8 percent and were inconsistent from the foul line, making just 16 of the 27 freebies. They also committed seven of their 19 turnovers in the fourth quarter.
Indiana has won its last two home openers and will open a three-game road trip to San Antonio, Atlanta and Minnesota following tonight's tilt. Pacers forward Sam Young played sparingly before leaving with a right shoulder injury and is day-to-day.
Sacramento will put the finishing touches on what has been an unsuccessful three-game road trip tonight in Indiana. It lost the season opener to Chicago, before suffering a 92-80 setback at Minnesota last night.
Isaiah Thomas scored 20 points, while Marcus Thornton contributed 15 points for the Kings, who started 0-3 back in 2009-10 and got 11 points and four rebounds from DeMarcus Cousins. Tyreke Evans had only six points, one game after scoring 21 against the Bulls.
The Kings rallied from an 18-point hole, but fell short.
"We got up by five there, the momentum was on our side," Kings coach Keith Smart said. "We just took some ill-advised shots. That's part of growing up with a young team."
Kings forward John Salmons was back with the team following the birth of his child and still needs time to get into playing shape, according to Smart.
Sacramento will return to California's capital for a three-game homestand versus Golden State, Detroit and San Antonio next week.
The Kings won the only meeting with Indiana last season, a 92-88 home triumph on Jan. 18. Sacramento has won the last two meetings against the Pacers, who lead the all-time series, 40-35.

Does a curbless, doorless shower look too modern?
I love traditional and old world style but my husband stayed in a hotel with a walk-in shower and loved it. We are now trying to decide if we should do a walk-in shower in our master bath remodel.
My bathroom is not large - about 10x6 - a basic hallway size bath with vanity, toilet, and shower setup.
Can a walk-in shower work in a traditional or old world style? I plan to have a half wall topped in clear glass that does not go to the ceiling...and a floor that moved smoothly into the shower with no curb.
Any thoughts on this anyone?
The materials can make or break the look more than the construction method. However, do remember that curbless requires extensive re-engineering in an existing bathroom and consequently is a LOT more expensive than having a standard curb that you just step over. If there is a good motivating factor like a progressive disability that will make stepping over a curb difficult or impossible, then it's probably worth doing. If it's a style thing, then the actual benefit may not be worth the cost to you.
I aimed for a contemporary look in my recent remodel with a curbless & doorless shower. I converted an existing half bath to a small full bath as part of my aging-in-place plan. The original idea was to have a shower with a curb, but that was changed to curbless during construction. The change order was around $500 to lower the floor and slope it towards the drain.
The bathroom is so small it's hard to get a good picture, but here are a couple showing the shower. From Downstairs Bath From Downstairs Bath
annkathryn - how big is that shower? It looks like it is less that 36", and I am curious how you passed code. You need quite a bit of space to do a curbless shower. Code requires the drain opening be at least 2" lower than the curb location and the floor must slope a minimum of 1/4" per foot but no more than 1/2" per foot. That means you need at least 4 ft from the shower opening to the drain.
Although both baths pictured are attractive, there is no way either of them REALLY passes code, even if they passed "inspection" from a city bureaucrat. They certainly wouldn't pass in any place I've ever designed accessible baths for, and that's in some of the least regulated communities around. There's simply not enough slope. If the drain ever becomes stopped up, it's a disaster waiting to happen, especially with the floor vent right there to easily carry the water down through the ductwork. Not to mention that even though they are "curbless" they are NOT ADA sized. If someone ever needs a wheelchair, neither bath will work for that situation. Designing for that possibility, but still having the bath work for everyone else too is what universal design is all about. It's a lot more than just going curbless.
The slope in my shower is 1/4" per linear foot, sloping towards the drain on 3 sides. The inspector measured everything in this bath and the other two that we remodeled at both the rough-in stage and during the subsequent plumbing inspection.
The intention for this shower wasn't so much to make it wheelchair accessible and ADA-compliant as it was to allow for barrier free access and support via grab bars. We put additional blocking in the walls for future use if necessary. We don't plan to actually use the shower for another 20 years or so, or whenever we can no longer negotiate the stairs to the master bedroom, whichever comes first.
