Title: | A Revision of the Genus Parapercis, Family Mugiloididae |
Author: | Cantwell, George E |
Date: | 1964-07 |
Publisher: | University of Hawai'i Press |
Citation: | Cantwell GE. 1964. A revision of the genus Parapercis, family mugiloididae. Pac Sci 18(3): 239-280. |
Abstract: | This study describes the genus Parapercis
Bleeker and its 26 species. The descriptions are based on anatomical studies, each structure having been analyzed statistically to determine its variation within a species and its value in identification. An effort has been made to employ those characters with the least variation within species to establish possible affinities between species, to define species groups, and to determine relationships among them. The geographic range has been determined from actual specimens and the literature. |

A recent trip to a Chinchilla restaurant by three juveniles seeking a late-night take-out left them with a $1,300 bill.
South Abington Twp. Police Chief Wesley Dunn said three male teenagers were cited for illegal possession and consumption of alcohol after an incident 10 days ago in which a restaurant statue was stolen and dragged several miles by car.
Dunn said police were notified of the incident at about 4: 15 a.m. on July 23, when someone reported seeing a compact car towing the "Big Boy" statue up Abington Road from the Elby's Restuarant in Chinchilla.
The stautue a 7-foot-tall, fiber- glass-type likeness of a boy wearing checkered overalls - is a corporate symbol for Elby's.
By following scrape marks left on the blacktop by the statue, South Abington Patrolman Donald Snyder tracked the car along South Abington Road and to a housing development off Fairview Road.
Snyder traced the suspected car to a driveway where it was parked and discovered red-and white paint on the rear bumper matching that of the missing statue, the chief 1 said.
He was joined at the scene by South Abington Patrolman Scott Daniels and Clark's Summit Partrolman James Walsh, Dunn said.
"The officers could see the Big Boy with a burger in his hand standing in the foyer of the residence," Dunn recalled. .
The policemen failed to gain entrance to the house after knocking repeatedly at several doors, Dunn said, so they asked a dispatcher on duty at the Lackawanna County Communications Center to telephone the residence.
Eventually, Dunn said, the officers spotted beer bottles on a kitchen table at the rear of the residence. While police' were 'Watching the door, Dunn said, the three juveniles tumbled out of a kitchen closet in which they were hiding.
In addition to the underage drinking charges, the youths may, face other criminal action, Dunn said.
The stolen statue was destroyed and has been replaced by a new one.
"It was damaged so bad it couldn't be repaired," Dunn said of the stolen statue, adding that about half of the statue's head was worn away by contact with the pavement.
The three youths are responsible for $1,300 in costs for replacement of the statue, Dunn said, adding that a company representative suggested a method for them to earn cash for the bill.
A district manager for Elby's told Dunn the three youths could work as dishwashers at the restaurant until they earn the restitution money.

This statement started its life as part of the State of the Profession panel at the joint American Society for Theatre Research / Congress on Research in Dance conference in Seattle [November 2010]. I was asked to respond to the question of "how power has worked on/through/with bodies in the fields of dance and theatre studies, and in the academy at large." I decided to speak about the serious crisis facing higher education in light of the economic recession, and its particular challenges to the academy and our field, using my present context in the United Kingdom, where I have lived since 2006, as a case study.

Grilled after preserving in acudulated water
I have yet to find any prepared artichokes, in the UK, where the flavour isn't overpowered by the acidulated water used to preserve them. So having given up buying ones in jars or tins, I had assumed that these would be cooked from fresh and dressed in oil - unfortunately the flavour of artichokes was masked by the acids, shame. Back to cooking from fresh...

Pricy but delicious
These are so much better than the acidic ones you get from the cook's range or in a jar. Unfortunately they are quite pricy and never lasts long- I always finish them within 24 hours!

1 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
1 cup diced fresh pineapple
3 oranges - peeled, segmented, and chopped
1 honeydew melon - peeled, seeded and cubed
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1/4 cup white sugar
1 (16 ounce) can pineapple juice
1/4 cup vanilla low-fat yogurt (optional)
4 sprigs fresh mint leaves for garnish
I was looking for a fruit salad/soup that my Dad could eat as he has Diverticulitis and came upon this recipe; luckily he can have blueberries as opposed to any other berry. The mixture of fruits in this recipe was wonderful, the color was off putting to my husband (as he doesn't eat things that are purple in color...weird, I know), but it was enjoyed by all at our Easter brunch. Next time I make it, I may garnish it with poppyseeds - just for an added WOW factor. Thank you Austin for sharing this recipe!
Six servings? This made more like 12! That was a surprise; thank goodness the soup is do tasty! I am allergic to honeydew melon, so I took a risk and replaced it with 1/4 of a watermelon. It gave the soul a bit of a pleasant tang. Delicious! And healthy enough for my husband, who cannot have high fat or cholesterol-heavy food!

Is Anyone Else Having Extremely Vivid and Life-like Dreams?
I have been having dreams that are so vivid and so life-like that I am having a hard time determining later on during the day if I actually experienced what I dreamed or if it was indeed a dream. Is anyone else experiencing this? Or is this something I should be speaking to a doctor about?

It's perfectly normal. My dreams are still crazy and have been like that the whole pregnancy! Just try to relax as much as possible before bed and see if that helps. Sometimes, they're exacerbated by anxiety.posted 10/19/2010 by nursenellie1
YES! I have had the worst, most vivid nightmares I've ever had during the last 15 weeks; hopefully they'll get better soon!posted 10/19/2010 by tfrench1473
I was reading an article on webmd about this b/c I too have been having unbelievably detailed and 'crazy' dreams. The article said that you probably usually dream like that anyway, but becuase you're pregnant you wake up easier during REM so are more likely to remember the dreams. Hope this helps!!!posted 10/19/2010 by JenniferAnne1976

Gossip Girl's Kelly Rutherford Has Request for Custody of Her Two Kids Denied
For Kelly Rutherford, her real-life drama seems way crazier than that of the shows on which she has starred, like Gossip Girl. (And that's saying something). A judge has just ruled that the two children the 45-year-old actress shares with ex-husband Daniel Giersch will stay with their father in Monaco, even though Kelly and Daniel have joint custody. Here's the rub: Daniel, a German businessman, is barred from the U.S. due to a revoked visa — so the children are staying with him with Kelly visiting whenever she can to spend time with them. "It strikes me as outrageous and unconstitutional that children can be effectively deported in order to accommodate their exiled father without knowing why he can't come back in and he has not been required to make any efforts to try to get back to the U.S. by the U.S. courts," she tells People. Kelly and Daniel married in August 2006 and welcomed son Hermés two months later. Then, in December 2008, while pregnant with their second child, Kelly filed for divorce. She gave birth to daughter Helena in August 2009. The battle hasn't just distressed Kelly, it's also made her bankrupt. She revealed in June 2013 that legal fees cost her $1.5 million. She tells People that she will appeal this latest judgment.

HomeCompanyNews@NetAppPress Releases +1 877 263 8277 Contact Sales E-mail twitter facebook linkedin google-plus Schools Achieve Their Goals Through NetApp Education Donation Program SUNNYVALE, Calif. - February 29, 2012 -As educational institutions face increasing budget constraints and strain under growth demands, NetApp continues to strengthen its commitment to supporting schools with IT solutions that do more for less. Since NetApp's Education Donation Program kicked off in September 2011, NetApp has made donations to school systems across the country, including Arizona State University (ASU), the Idaho Falls School District, and Michigan State University, as part of a long-term investment to improve education IT. Through the program, Arizona State University partnered with NetApp to create a centralized virtual desktop solution. Often the potential advantages of virtual desktops are hindered in educational organizations due to higher storage costs and the limitations of an inflexible infrastructure. NetApp provided ASU with a clustered file system, a solution that provides users with continuous access to their virtual desktops with high storage availability, automated disaster recovery, and desktop virtualization performance acceleration. The system allows ASU to manage data more efficiently while reducing overhead cost, creating a more flexible and efficient IT solution for the future of the organization. "NetApp has been a strong supporter of Arizona State University and our mission," said Jay L. Steed, assistant vice president for IT Operations & Support for Arizona State University's Technology Office. "For many years, NetApp has partnered with ASU to provide services and solutions to benefit the academic and research endeavors of the university. This generous donation has been deployed in conjunction with a number of initiatives targeted at improving the reliability and availability of academic applications here at ASU." "Educational organizations are constantly seeking out new and innovative ways to deliver advanced learning opportunities under tight budgetary restrictions," said Regina Kunkle, vice president of State and Local Government and Higher Education (SLED), NetApp. "Our work with Arizona State University is a great example of how smart IT decisions can be the driving force to help schools achieve their goals, and the Education Donation Program provides us with the opportunity to continue to enable education customers to achieve the IT efficiency and flexibility they need to thrive in today's challenging environment." Additional Details This program is open to not-for-profit higher-education and K-12 schools in the United States. Schools can connect with NetApp to find out if their institution is eligible to participate.

Since the first mosasaur was discovered in 1764, thousands of specimens have been discovered all over the world. But because there was no evidence that they [...]

For centuries the fates of Africa and the Americas have been inextricably intertwined, a relationship all the more remarkable for the wide-ranging influences flowing across the Atlantic. Today, one in five people in the Western Hemisphere are of African descent and powerful social, economic and ecological forces crisscross the Atlantic.

This encyclopedia explores the many long-standing influences of Africa and people of African descent on the culture of the Americas, while tracing the many ways in which the Americas remain closely interconnected with Africa.
Ranging from the 15th century to the present, Africa and the Americas: Culture, Politics, and History explores the many ways Africa and African peoples have shaped the cultural life of the Americas—and how, in turn, life in the Americas reverberates in Africa.This groundbreaking three-volume encyclopedia offers hundreds of alphabetically organized entries on African history, nations, and peoples plus African-influenced aspects of life in the Americas. It also features authoritative introductory essays on history, culture and religion, demography, international relations, economics and trade, and arts and literature. In doing so, it traces the complex and continuous movement of peoples of African descent to the West, the mechanics and lingering effects of colonialism and the slave trade, and the crucial issues of cultural retention and adaptation that are essential to our understanding of the effects of globalization.

He writes:
I am head projectionist at our local movie theatre, and today we received a tube with 3 rolled teaser posters for Return of the King. Also, included with the posters was a sheet from New Line Cinema that explains that it is the teaser for Return of the King, notes that it is not for internet use and should be displayed immediately, and THEN goes on to say "There will NOT be a teaser trailer this summer".
Update: Voronwe on Tolkien Online made a couple of very interesting points about this note. First, it has no logo or letterhead. It does, however, have a contact number which I have cropped off. Second - and much more pertinent - Karl Urban isn't on the cast list.
Update 2: We've received two more copies of the note. Both copies have the same telephone number - and wording - on the contact section which I cropped out of the first.
I've compared the new ones pretty carefully to the original note we were sent - the details match as far as I can see - but they aren't exact replicas with exact same smudges and so on.
We also received an independent confirmation on July 2 from another source. Ringer Spy Jeff - who contacted us about the T3 teaser trailer rumour got in touch with us again recently after being asked to investigate this rumour we were sent.
Someone on another board I'm on found some press bit from the UK saying the trailer would be attached to their release of The Hulk, which is July 18th, I believe. Mid-July is what everyone's hearing, so it would seem that the best candidates for a US trailer release around that time would be Pirates (7/9), League of Extraordinary Gentlemen (7/11) or Seabiscuit. Remote possibilities include Bad Boys II (7/18) Tomb Raider II (7/25) or Spy Kids III (7/25).
The full trailer is apparently going to be released with New Line's Secondhand Lions on 9/26.
This is what Jeff found out:
Date: Wed, 2 Jul 2003 23:59:22 -0700 (PDT)Subject: Re: ROTK Teaser Before T3
Well when I got to work today I talked with my manager, and she said that there's not gonna be a trailer for ROTK until September, we got the posters today so I'm guessing there was something with them that said that. So it looks like no teaser, just a trailer after the summer.

Cloud Computing: Google Speeds Up Search with Instant Pages, Instant Images, Voice Search
Google Fellow Amit Singhal June 14 introduced a host of search features focused on mobility and speed. Singhal, Google's new steward for search announcements since Marissa Mayer moved to the company's geolocal team, talked about the way users' desktop search queries remain strong throughout the work week but taper off on Friday and Saturday as users tear themselves free from their computers to do other things. However, while this happens, Google sees mobile search queries rise precipitously on the weekends because these same users switch to their smartphones or tablet computers to conduct searches in their leisure time. "The thirst for knowledge doesn't stop when you step away from your computer, it continues on your mobile device," Singhal said. "In the past two years, mobile search traffic has grown five-fold. Mobile search today is growing at a comparable pace to Google in the early years." Indeed, Singhal's search team also trotted out voice search for the desktop, an example of how Google has ported speech technology from its mobile applications to larger computer screens. To our mind, the coolest thing we saw watching the Webcast on YouTube remotely, was Google Instant Pages. This feature uses prerendering technology built by Google Chrome engineers to display Web pages in sub-second times. Google Instant with Images was also pretty cool. Take the tour of the new features with this eWEEK slideshow.

Center Store aisles were the unlikely setting for an emotional series of events that kicked off in the early months of 2007 with the Menu Foods pet food recall. Pet owners grew increasingly weary of ever-shrinking dog and cat food merchandising mixes and shelf holes that seemed to grow, along with anxiety levels, by the day. Many shelled out double what they'd previously paid for the premium, natural and organic dog and cat foods that remained on the shelf. Shoppers also dug deeper into ...

Divya Bharti made her acting debut at the age of 16 in a 1990 Tamil film titled Nila Pennae and her first hit was the Telugu film titled Bobbili Raja (1990) in which she starred opposite Venkatesh. The film was also dubbed in Hindi as Rampur Ka Raja. She went on to star in four more Telugu films; Dharma Kshetram, Tholi Mudhu, Rowdy Alludu and Assembly Rowdy in which she co-starred with Telegu superstars Balakrishna, Prashanth, Chiranjeevi and Mohan Babu respectively.
She then switched over to the Bollywood industry and made her Hindi film debut in the 1992 film Vishwatma. The film was only an average hit at the box office but got her noticed for the popular song Saat Samundar which was picturized on her in the film. Many of her other Hindi films released that same year which was a record for any newcomer actress in Bollywood at the time. Some of her most notable films in 1992 included Deewana, Dil Aashna Hai and Shola Aur Shabnam putting her at the third position of the leading actresses in Bollywood that year after Sridevi and Madhuri Dixit.and gaining her the Filmfare Lux New Face Award. She worked with most of the top actors in Bollywood at the time such as Sunny Deol, Jackie Shroff, Rishi Kapoor, Govinda, Sanjay Dutt as well as Shahrukh Khan and Sunil Shetty who were newcomers at the time. She was also due to co-star with Akshay Kumar in Mohra , Ajay Devgan in Vijaypath, Sanjay Kapoor in Kartavya, Anil Kapoor in Laadla and Sunny Deol in Angrakshak before her death.
Divya's funeral took place on April 7.About 500 people attended the funeral of the then youngest heroine of the silver screen, including Anil Kapoor, Govinda, Kamal Sadanah, Raj Babbar, Yash Chopra, Jimmy Nirula, Sudhakar Bokade, Mukesh Duggal,Mahesh Anand, Aruna Irani Raza Murad, Vikas Anand, Venkatesh, Ram Mohan, Javed Khan, Raj Kanwar, Nitin Manmohan and Pehlaj Nehlani, maker of her first hit, Shola aur Shabnam. A large number of film personalities, including Hema Malini, Urmila Matondkar, Shilpa Shirodkar, Sonu Walia, Somy Ali, Karisma Kapoor, Sangeeta Bijlani, Tabu, Manisha Koirala and Asha Parekh, offered condolences to the bereaved family members at their residence.
Divya's two final completed films Rang and Shatranj were released months after her death. These, in addition to several films produced by her husband Sajid Nadiadwala, were dedicated to her memory. She was also meant to do movies including Mohra, Laadla , Andolan , Angrakshak ,Kartavya (1995), and Vijaypath before her death.
Till this day nobody knows exactly if she fell accidentally or was pushed. Police finally closed the case after five years.
"When I decided to sign her everyone thought I was mad. She worked even with 102 degrees temperature. At times she's like a ziddi brat and you have to deal with her patient, indulgent parent. I had to really pamper her" - Raj Kanwar.
"She's the most promising newcomer. She had all that our audiences go for- wide -eyed innocence, a perfect figure and all the jatkas and matkas. Even of her next four or five films flop her fans will remain with her and that makes her a favorite with the distributors" - Pehlaj Nihlani.
"She got thrown out of so many films, so many people treated her badly, it would have embittered anyone. Now she's a star she wants to get even with these people" - Lawrence D'Souza.
"It's not just her talent or the will to slog that they are raving about but also her proficiency, her involvement in her work" - Talat Jani.
"We have been waiting for her a year. By now even Amitabh Bachchan would have given us the dates" - Sajid Nadiadwala
Article: Racing to the Top, Numero Uno' 1993 -Filmare, January 1993
"Among the Actresses- Sridevi, Madhuri Dixit and Divya will be the stars of 1993" - Sudharkar Bokade.
"Divya has the potential but her unprofessional attitude comes in her way. If she pays attention to her work she can go far" - Inder Kumar
"Divya should be a good bet if she has the right releases. When I saw her in Bobblili Raja i was impressed with her." - Ashok Thakeria
"Divya is also very cute, she been lucky with Shola aur Shabnam and Deewana" - R.K Nayyar
"Divya is the find of 92 and hopefully she wont fall short of expectations" - Mohan Kumar
"I feel Divya had the making of a No. 1 but I feel her career is no longer her priority" - Suraj Sanim
"Among the Girls Divya has good films and a lot of luck as her films have run" - Anil Sharma
"Divya Bharati is the one with potential among the newer lot." - Prakash Mehra
"Sridevi and Madhuri are also in similar positions, Those likely to compete with them are Divya Bharati and Juhi" - Yash Chopra
Divya Bharati's Ghost is Alive , The spirit that's Haunting Juhi and Kajol! - Showtime, February 1994
"Kajol and Divya have a lot in common their youth, vivacity, spontaneity" -Producer, Shabnam Kapoor
"If Divya have been alive, the best roles would have gone to her. Divya had everything- she was bubbly, a wonderful actress, a fabulous dancer and a good looker too. She had the combination of a beautiful face and sexy figure which no one else has. The way she was going, everybody would have been talking of only Divya and nobody else, I cant say who would've got or not got which roles, but if divya was there the roles would've been more divided, Divya has no replacement". -Director, David Dhawan
"Juhi, kajol and karisma are in different spot, Divya had a totally different kind of appeal from those three. what she had was natural and god given, if cannot be created by oneone, however much they may try. She had a raw, tamed, wild look about her which magnetised the audience" - Actor, Govinda
"There was nobody like Divya and there will be nobody alike her" - indo-British actor" - Saeed Jaffrey
"When Divya Was Around, did anyone talk about Juhi, After Sridevi and Madhuri , Divya was the next and only choice of the producers - Meeta Bharati
"Who Says i copy Divya?, Yah i know I've replaced her opposite Ajay Devgan in Hulchul and the producer tells me that my bubbly nature reminds her of Divya" - Kajol
" It is strange that a girl who spend only three years in industry has become irreplaceable. Every filmmaker is trying to find another Divya Bharti, But no one fits. Everyone is hunting hard but there is not even a pale xerox of the vibrant original anywhere on the horizon. Until the ideal replacement arrives, divya's ghost is not alive and kicking." - Sujeta Garimella

Krakatoa: The Day the World Exploded: August 27, 1883 is a 2003 book by Simon Winchester that covers the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa.
Winchester examines the legendary annihilation in 1883 of the volcano-island of Krakatoa, which was followed by an immense tsunami that killed nearly forty thousand people. Effects of the immense waves were felt as far away as France, and the sound of island's destruction -- per Winchester's book -- could be heard in Australia and India.[1]
Critical reception[edit]
In The New York Times, critic Janet Maslin called Krakatoa "a trove of wonderfully arcane information." Maslin added, "The author has been able to attach so many tentacles to a single event -- the spectacular and catastrophic eruption of the title volcano -- that there seems to be nowhere he can't go."[2] The book was a New York Times bestseller.[3]

Nash equilibria in electricity markets with discrete prices
Anderson, E.J. and Xu, Huifu (2004) Nash equilibria in electricity markets with discrete prices. Mathematical Methods of Operations Research, 60, (2), 215-238. (doi:10.1007/s001860400364).
Full text not available from this repository.
In this paper we analyse the equilibrium structure for a particular type of electricity market. We consider a market with two generators offering electricity into a pool. Generators are centrally dispatched, with cheapest offers used first. The pool price is determined as the highest-priced offer dispatched, and both generators are paid this price for all the electricity they provide. First generators set their price points (at which bids will later be made) and these are announced. Then each generator chooses the quantities to offer at each price. This reflects the behaviour of the Australian electricity market in which prices are set for 24-hours at a time, but different quantities can be offered within each half-hour period. The demand for electricity is uncertain when offers are made (and is drawn from a probability distribution known to both players). We begin by analysing an example of this two stage game for a simple case where only one price can be chosen. The main results of the paper concern the structure of a Nash equilibrium for the quantity-setting sub-game in which each player aims to maximise their expected profit when prices have already been announced. The distribution of demand plays an important role in the existence of a Nash equilibrium. In the quantity setting game there may be Nash equilibria which are not stable. We show that, under certain circumstances, if the equilibrium offers are sufficiently close to the generatorsrsquo marginal costs, then the equilibrium will be stable.

Netflix Combats Password-Sharers with New Family Plan
Everyone knows that sharing is caring. That's why potentially 10 million people are using Netflix for free. And while there's no shame in sharing your password with friends and family, that doesn't mean Netflix is going to sit back and let it happen. At least, not without trying to make some money out of it.

GAIL launches anti-malaria nets
New Delhi, July 3 Malaria affects over one million Indians annually resulting in around 1,000 deaths and medical bills worth crores. GAIL has taken up the project in collaboration with Sumitomo Chemicals of Japan to promote these special nets made from one of its flagship product called G-Lex. After successful trials in Tamil Nadu, these nets are being launched as part of governments anti-malaria campaign. According to the WHO, India and Africa are among the worst malaria-affected regions of the world. After AIDS and TB, malaria is considered as one of the deadly diseases in India. After a ban on DDT, officials say, malaria is again emerging as a major disease in rural and urban India. According to official estimates, the annual market of anti-malaria repellents and creams has crossed over Rs 2,000 crore mark, and the mosquitoes are developing resistance to these products. Government is already running an anti-malaria programme across the country with the help of the World Bank. Having a life span of five to seven years, the bed net will be made from high density polythethylene (HDPE) impregnated with a potent anti-malarial insecticide. The new technology has been developed by M/s Sumitomo Chemicals of Japan and these nets are called long lasting insecticidal net, said a GAIL official. He said the insecticide released at a controlled rate, proves fatal for the mosquitoes. The net remains effective for at least five years. Approved by the WHO, these nets have been tested at a globally accredited laboratory for efficacy and health. These nets have been approved clinically for humans and have no side-effects, he added. GAIL has already identified two local manufacturers, who will be making the honey comb designed net from the special resin. GAIL will distribute these nets in selected malaria-prone areas. There are a number of states in India, especially Orissa, North-East, Gujarat, and northern states, which have been identified as malaria-prone. These bed nets will be distributed in select villages with the help of state governments, health departments and monitored for qualitative acceptance and evaluation. These are priced around Rs 500 per piece internationally, but in India, the price mark will be Rs 200 to Rs 250. The net will remain effective for five years, making it a very economical option as compared to the cost incurred on other mosquito repellents. UNICEF, global leader in net purchase and distribution, estimates that 30 to 40 million long-lasting insecticidal nets are required annually for the next five years in order to saturate the market. Only about 13 million nets are currently being produced. GAIL has supplied some nets to the Border Roads Organisation and is awaiting their response on the effectiveness of the product, the official said. |
Centre to expand Kolkata airport
Kolkata, July 3 The proposal to upgrade the airport at par with all other international airports had been pending for over past few decades since the expansion of the runway for facilitating proper landing and take-off of the big aircraft like Airbus 300 and Boeing 747 was not possible on the short-route runway. The runways expansion needed the demolition of a mosque, which could not be possible due to resistance from the Muslim community and several other political parties. Former Civil Aviation Minister in the Vajpayee government, Mr Shawnawaz Khan, however, wanted that the runway be expanded as per plan by shifting the mosque to another place near the airport to which the Congress as well as several other left parties strongly objected. The Marxist Chief Minister, Mr Buddhadeb Bhattacharjee, remained silent and non-committal on the plea that the matter fell within the jurisdiction of the NDA government, though like his predecessor, Mr Jyoti Basu, he strongly demanded that Kolkata airport be upgraded at par with all other international airport for facilitating more international flights. But now at long last, the UPA government agreed to expand the second runway only up to 440 metre against its original plan of extending it to an additional 1228 metre which could have matched the second runway with the 3627 metre long main runway at Dum Dum as it is in Delhis Indira Gandhi International Airport and Mumbais Santa Cruz. The UPA Civil Aviation Minister, Mr Praful Patel (NCP) initially tried to expand the runway as per the original plan and accordingly, he held a meeting with the Chief Minister but later decided to expand the runway only up to 440 metres for the time being. This shortest expansion will protect and safeguard the mosque but there are doubts if it will facilitate the landing of big airbuses, boeings and jumbos there. The Director of the airport, Mr D.K.Monda, admitted they had received a formal clearance from the Civil Aviation Ministry for expanding the second runway up to 440 metre and Rs 22 crore had been sanctioned, the construction of which would start soon. He, however, felt this shortest expansion would not much stand in the way of landing and take-off of big aircrafts. But several civil aviation experts and the international pilots association have expressed doubt if the shortest expansion would at all attract the international plane companies to introduce their services to Kolkata under the present constraint since the safety and the security of the passengers as well as the aircraft would be involved. Moreover, even after this expansion, the landing and take-off of all big aircraft would depend mainly on the water and the temperature as done in the case of manual landing, since the short runway would not facilitate the introduction of the instrumental landing system there, feared the civil aviation experts. |
Ideology first, individual last: RSS to tell BJP Surat, July 3 In the wake of the recent controversy surrounding BJP President L.K. Advanis remark in Pakistan and consequent developments, the Sangh top brass is not only extremely concerned over the erosion of
ideology but also the growing tendency among party leaders to attack the RSS and display personal
loyalties, sources said. It is not the issue of Mr Advanis statement. It is the tendency towards personality-based politics, polarisation of individual loyalties and about everything else and the attack on the RSS even by small-time leaders that is worrying, a senior RSS leader told PTI, on condition of anonymity. Over 140 delegates across the country, including key functionaries of the Parivar outfits and state organisers are attending the meeting whose stated agenda includes the review of its training programmes and birth centenary celebrations of second RSS chief Guru M.S. Golwalkar. With Mr Advani seeking to clarify his statement on Pakistan founder Mohammed Ali Jinnah and revive Hindutva issues in the run-up to the conclave, the mood was one of forgive and forget but the leakage of the letter written by BJP national secretary Sudheendra Kulkarni to BJP chief, stressing on the need to recast the BJP-RSS ties, on the eve of the Surat meet, appears to have complicated the matters further. While many in the RSS themselves were not very comfortable with their chief K. Sudarshans controversial
television interview suggesting leadership change, its criticism by people like Brijesh Mishra and recent counsel to the Sangh fountainhead by leaders like Pramod Mahajan and now Kulkarni have made them rally around the
Sarsanghchalak. |
BJP finalises RS candidates from Gujarat
New Delhi, July 3 BJP RS members Savitabehn Sarda and Lalit Mehta are retiring on July 18 after the completion of their terms. The names of Mr Patel and Mr Acharya, who are expected to be elected unopposed, were finalised by the central election committee, which met here under the chairmanship of party president Lal Krishna Advani. The meeting was attended by CEC members who were present in Delhi. The Congress has renominated Ahmed Patel, political secretary to party president Sonia Gandhi, for a third term in the Rajya Sabha from Gujarat. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, former party president Venkaiah Naidu, Sushma Swaraj, Pramod Mahajan and Anant Kumar were among those who did not attend the meeting that lasted for around 30 minutes. |
Imrana might not have been raped: Muslim board
New Delhi, July 3 The AIMPLB had sent a team to Muzaffarnagar to ascertain facts about the case. A team conducted investigation and found no evidence of rape except for Imranas claim, the team leader and AIMPLB convenor
S.Q.R. Ilyaas said here. He said the team felt that the allegation might have been influenced by a property dispute between father-in-law Ali Ahmed and Imrana and her husband Nur
Govind Ghat mudslide: Sikh pilgrims launch stir
Dehra Dun, July 3 The pilgrims said nearly 350 vehicles had been buried while the administration estimated the number to be 150. Over 30 bigger vehicles were retrieved today, officials said. The pilgrims complained that they could not get in touch with their families due to disrupted communication network. They also alleged that the district administration was not doing enough to provide them with prompt relief and delaying the process of retrieving the vehicles. Meanwhile, there was a row between the pilgrims and the members of the management committee of the gurudwara over accusations of what the pilgrims called inadequate relief arrangements. The district officials had to intervene to bring the situation under control. The mudslide caused after a cloudburst had left 11 local shopkeepers dead. The bodies were recovered yesterday by the ITBP personnel, Border Road Organisation personnel and district administration. A relief of Rs 50,000 each has been announced for the families of the dead, officials said. The road to Badrinath and Hemkund Sahib has been cleared of the debris and traffic restored, the officials said. |
Regime change in Iran may shoot up oil prices
New Delhi, July 3 The new President, who will take over in August, has already announced to give preference to local companies and investors in the oil sector, creating fear among oil marketing companies about the long-term oil supply from the region. Mr Ahmadinejad has announced to begin a clean-up operation in the oil sector, alleging that it was dominated by corruption and nexus between politicians, officials and oil companies. Iran will flush out corruption from the countrys oil industry and favour domestic investors in the underdeveloped hydrocarbons sector, Mr Ahmadinejad is reported to have said. That may slow the increase in Irans oil output as demand for gasoline and jet fuel is increasing, led by the US, India and China. Development of oil reserves has been slowed in countries such as Mexico, Venezuela and Russia, where governments are increasing control over their domestic energy industries. It is not a coincidence that international crude oil prices have shot up to over $ 60 per barrel with the change in the regime. Though the prices marginally came down to $ 57 per barrel today, the market is expecting that in case of a conflict, the price may shoot up to over $ 80 per barrel. FICCI has also projected that in case of rise in international crude oil prices to $ 80 per barrel, the domestic prices of petrol would shoot up to Rs 50 per litre. It will not be easy for the government to check oil prices, which is already facing criticism from the Leftist parties. Iran, which is the fourth largest producer of oil in the world and has the second largest gas reserves, is a major oil supplier to India. Petroleum Minister Mani Shankar Aiyar has expressed hope that the change in regime will not have any adverse impact on the trade between the two countries. Experts in the field, however, say that with increasing pressure from the US on the new government in Iran, the future of $ 4 billion Iran-India gas pipeline remains uncertain. In case of US decision to launch attack on Iran over its nuclear ambitions, India may face difficulty in the supply of LNG from Teheran. New Delhi has recently signed a deal of over $ 20 billion for the supply of 5 million tonnes of natural gas over the next 25 years. |
Bangarappa sees early Assembly poll in Karnataka
Lucknow, July 3 Speaking to the Press during his first visit to the city following his victory on the Samajwadi Party ticket last month, Mr Bangarappa lashed out at the state Congress unit for its common minimum programme. Accusing the party of even joining hands with the BJP to ensure his defeat, he said this had brought down his margin to a little less than 17,000 votes, a sharp decline from his earlier victories, which were with a margin close to 1 lakh. According to him, the Congress, in order to impress party national President Sonia Gandhi, had also issued full-page
advertisements in the Delhi edition of a paper, pointing out that Bangarappas popularity had gone down after he left the Congress. Questioning the Congresss popularity, which had polled 660 votes from Allahabad, Mr Bangarrappa said it should work on raising its profile rather than attacking others. Claiming a bright future for the Samajwadi Party in the event of early Assembly elections in Karnataka, the former Chief Minister said the party had already set up district units in 10 districts and had received a warm response. Ruling out an alliance with any political party, a position which he confirmed with National Samajwadi president Mulayam Singh Yadav right there, he stated that the party would go it alone and attempt to form a government in the state. |
TRS threatens to divorce Cong in Andhra
Hyderabad, July 3 We are seriously considering snapping our alliance with the state government. YSR Reddys rule is fascist, senior TRS leader and Union Minister of State A. Narendra today said. The TRS has two ministers in the UPA Cabinet at the Centre and six in the state. The TRS, which is already nursing strained relations with the Congress over Telangana statehood issue, has raised objections over the governments toughening stand against extremists. Dubbing the July 1 incident in which a top leader of Janashakti group of Naxalites Riaz was killed along with three as a fake encounter others, the TRS demanded a judicial probe into the incident. So incensed is the TRS over the encounter that a team of its ministers air-dashed to Delhi today to meet party supremo and Union Labour Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao to chalk out their future course of action. We may be forced to reconsider continuing in the government if such fake encounters continue. We will consult our party president and take a decision, the TRS leader and Minister for Youth Services and Employment T Harish Rao said. However, Chief Minister Y. S. Rajasekhar Reddy brushed aside the latest warning from TRS camp. |
CABE panel recommends neighbourhood schools
New Delhi, July 3 It has suggested minimum basic infrastructure in schools, 1:40 teacher-student ratio and spending 6 per cent of the GDP on education, half of it on
elementary education. The report on Free and Compulsory Education Bill and Other Issues Related to Elementary Education was submitted to Human Resource Development Minister Arjun Singh here. Mr Sibal said the committee favoured provision of 25 per cent of seats for poor students in private educational institutions. He said the burden would be shared by the government and students belonging to affluent families so as to make the education system integrated. Private educational institutions would be given time to implement the measures, he said. He said unless the allocation towards education was increased to 6 per cent of the GDP, the country would not be able substantially improve its present literacy rate. The committee advocated neighbourhood schools so that students did not have to travel a long distance for education, he said. Mr Sibal said parents and civil society had to ensure that there were no illiterate children in the country. He said no suggestions for punitive measures against parents or guardians who fail to send children or wards to school. The recommendations of the committee would be discussed by CABE in its meeting scheduled for July 14 and 15. |
Paswans condition stable
New Delhi, July 3 He is fine, though resting most of the time, said his son, Mr Chirag
Paswan. He said tests were on and angiography was scheduled to be conducted
tomorrow morning. The LJP chief, on a visit to Bihar, had complained of chest pain last morning and was admitted to a Patna hospital. He was examined there by a five-member team from the Escorts Hospital that later brought him here. Meanwhile, Railway Minister Lalu Prasad today met LJP chief and wished him speedy recovery. Senior JD(U) leader Sharad Yadav also went to the hospital and met him. Among other senior political leaders who called on the ailing Paswan were Union ministers Prem Chand Gupta (RJD), Meira Kumar and Jai Prakash Narayan Yadav. |
Rare Buddha idol recovered
Varanasi, July 3 A GRP patrol party recovered the idol from an unclaimed bag from Coach Six of the Howrah-bound Bombay Mail, the sources said.
Garoland issue hots up in Meghalaya
Shillong, July 3 Captain Sangma led the united movement of Hills People to see the creation of Meghalaya in 1971, and became the first Chief Minister of the newly formed state. He represented the Garo tribes. After 34 years another prominent Garo leader of the state, Mr P.A. Sangma, former Lok Sabha Speaker and leader of the NCP, is now the focus of all development concerning the demand for the creation of Garoland, a state to be carved out of Meghalaya for Garos. The
North-East, mostly known for its insurgency problem, is presently witnessing the emergence of an otherwise apolitical issue like education as a bone of contention between Khasis and Garos in Meghalaya resulting in the demand for the bifurcation of the state. It all started recently over the fiasco in the distribution of examination papers by the Meghalaya Board of Secondary Education (MBOSE), with its headquarters at Tura in Garo hills, for the
students from Shillong in the Khasi-dominated areas. This prompted the Khasi Students Union (KSU) to demand the bifurcation of MBOSE with the appointment of one secretary each for Tura and Shillong and a full-fledged chairman. The KSU had called a three-day bandh between June 23 and 25 affecting normal life on the issue. The agitating KSU activists also torched government vehicles and properties. The Chief Minister, of state, D.D. Lapang, heading the Congress-led Meghalaya Democratic Alliance (MDA), declared to appoint one secretary each for Tura and Shillong for MBOSE following the demand of the KSU, which amounted to the bifurcation of MBOSE. The decision followed the resignation of State Sports Minister Paul Lyndoh, former KSU President, from the Cabinet in support of the KSUs demand. Lyndoh now
represents the Khun Hynniewtrep National Awakening Movement (KHNAM), a supporting ally of the Congress. But soon after D.D.Lapang declared the appointment of one secretary each for Tura and Shillong, the Garo
Students Union and Garo Citizens Forum called a two-day bandh in Garo hills between June 24 and 25 to protest against the move. This again prompted the Congress-led alliance to convene a Cabinet meeting which decided to expand the expert committee on education to review the decision of the Chief Minister to appoint Secretaries for Tura and Shillong and submit the
report within two months. The committee is headed by the states Chief Secretary. The Chief Minister has been forced to retreat for the time being, despite representing the Khasis, because of the strong protest against his decision by Mukul Sangma, the Deputy Chief Minister, who represents the Garos. Both Khasis and Garos are now demanding the bifurcation of Meghalaya for the creation of separate states for Khasis and Garos. The third tribe, Jayantis, are with the Khasis. Out of the 60 Assembly seats, 24 are from three Garo hill districts. As the movement is fast taking the shape for separate states for the creation of Garos and Khasis, P.A. Sangma is back into action. The Garo Citizens Forum has already adopted a resolution demanding the creation of Garoland. The NCP will organise a public rally in October where it plans to officially place the demand for the creation of Garoland. The NCP was taking the time to mobilise public support on the issue. It is learnt that P.A. Sangma is now in touch with the Congress leader and Deputy Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on the issue, and both Sangmas are reportedly moving in the same direction to place the demand for Garoland. On their part, the KSU and the KHNAM are also demanding separate state for Khasis and Jayantis. Chief Minister D.D. Lapang seems to be helpless as the Congress does not have absolute majority in the Assembly to tackle this issue. |
Replica of steam engine installed at Roorkee station
New Delhi, July 3 The replica has been crafted by workmen at the
Amritsar railway workshop who relied on the drawings of the original steam locomotive. The drawings were prepared by IIT Roorkee. Sources in the Northern Railway said the Director of IIT, Roorkee, Prof Prem Vrat, Chairman and CEO, Noida Development Authority, D.D. Sharma, Additional General Manager, Northern Railway, V.K. Kaul, Chief Mechanic Engineer, Northern Railway, S.P.Singh and the workmen involved in the construction of the replica of the locomotive were present during the installation. Roorkee is on the Dehra Dun-Shatabdi route and has a lot of historical importance. IIT Roorkee has linkages with international educational institutions and Roorkee, therefore, gets a lot of visitors from overseas. The Railway Board Chairman also conducted a window trailing inspection of the 100-km track between Roorkee and Meerut. Hailing the initiative, Executive Director (Heritage) in the Railway Ministry, Rajesh Agarwal said Thompson was the pride of India and was older than the 153-year-old Indian Railways. This has been done in heritage interest. It will revive the nostalgia of the advent of steam locomotives and the ushering in of Indias industrial revolution. The Thompson steam locomotive was brought to India from the UK in December 1851 and marks the beginning of the era of steam locomotives in India. Mr Agarwal said when the National Rail Archives were set up in 2002 as part of 150 year
celebrations of the Indian Railways, he stressed on the need for documenting details on the Thompson steam locomotive as Indias first steam locomotive. The story goes that when the Thompson locomotive was brought to India for construction of the aqueduct near Roorkee, everybody felt that it was some kind of a monster that puffed a lot of black smoke. It did not last too long. Everybody heaved a sigh of relief when its boiler exploded, said Agarwal who has been Director of the National Rail Museum (NRM). |
AGP expels Mahanta
Tinsukia (Assam), July 3 A senior party leader said the steering committee met here this afternoon and decided to expel Mahanta, who was earlier served a show-cause notice, in the larger interest of the party. Sitting MLAs Sahidul Alam Choudhury, Utpal Dutta, Bubul Das and former speaker Ganesh Kutum have been also issued show-cause notices for alleged anti-party activities. Meanwhile, Mahanta said in a statement that all members of the AGP must put up a united front. Efforts must be made to strengthen the regional force for fulfilling the hopes and aspirations of the people of Assam and for that all members of the AGP must remove their difference and stay united, he said. He said the AGP must be strengthened to prevent the Congress from retaining power. Mahanta has been in the eye of the storm for the past few weeks for criticising the party leadership following which he was issued a show-cause notice.

Average Ratings
Acute myeloid leukemia in adults occurs when cancer cells grow within the bone marrow and replace healthy white blood cells. The fact that the disease is acute means it progresses quickly, as opposed to chronic leukemia, which can take several years to spread. This is one of the types of leukemia that adults are most likely to develop, especially after reaching the age of 40.
There is often no way to know why a patient has acute myeloid leukemia. However, there are risk factors that put some adults at greater risk for this disease. For example, genetics often play a role. If your relatives have been diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, you may have a slightly higher chance of developing it, too.
In addition, certain drugs and medical procedures can raise your risk for acute myeloid leukemia. Some chemotherapy drugs and radiation can increase your chances of developing this disease.
Additional risk factors include:
Also, men are more likely to develop acute myeloid leukemia than women. The average age for developing acute myeloid leukemia is 66 years old.
Most people will feel as if they have the flu if they acute myeloid leukemia. In fact, frequent illness is a symptom since your immune system is compromised when your white blood cells turn into cancer cells. Frequent illness and infections show that your body cannot fight off illness and may be a sign of acute myeloid leukemia.
Other common symptoms:
When you go to your doctor, you can expect a physical exam. Your doctor will look for lumps or swollen areas that seem abnormal.
You should also have a blood test that measures your complete blood count (CBC). This lab test will measure your hemoglobin and the percentage of the blood sample that is made up of red blood cells. In addition, it will count your white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets.
An additional test that will look for acute myeloid leukemia is a bone marrow aspiration. During this procedure, some of your bone marrow will be removed and studied to find out if leukemia is present. If it is, your doctor will need to follow up to determine which of the eight subtypes of acute myeloid leukemia is present in your body.
Many doctors start treatment with chemotherapy since a combination of certain medications can kill cancer cells. This treatment is often most effective in the early stages of the disease, when there are usually more healthy cells than cancer cells.
However, chemotherapy can kill healthy white blood cells. That means many patients get sick easily since their white blood cells may be decreased in number. During treatment, you may have to stay away from other people, so that you do not become ill. In addition, you may experience excessive bleeding, hair loss, and extreme fatigue from the chemotherapy.
Chemotherapy does not eliminate all cancer cells, so your doctor may combine it with another option or even stop chemotherapy altogether if it does not work. One possibility is a bone marrow transplant, in which cancerous cells are replaced with healthy bone marrow cells. A gone marrow transplant may need to be repeated multiple times for success.
Another option is radiation therapy, in which radiation is directed toward the mass of cancerous cells. This is not always possible, especially when the cancer has spread or is in a spot that is difficult to pinpoint.
Other treatments include antibiotics to treat infection, platelet transfusions to stop excessive bleeding, and transfusions of red blood cells to remedy anemia. In addition, new treatments are constantly being tested out in clinical trials.
If the treatment works and there are no more leukemia cells to be found, you are considered in remission. You will likely have to be checked periodically by your doctor to make sure the cancer does not come back.
When treatment does not eliminate the acute myeloid leukemia, you may be offered different treatments until all your treatment options are exhausted. If the cancer remains, you may be given palliative care to maintain a quality of life.
The five-year survival rate of those diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia is about 23 percent. Without any treatment, many adults with acute myeloid leukemia may pass away within months or just a few years of onset.
