The Parliamentary Committee?s recommendation to exclude PPP and private projects will sound the death knell for infra projects
Does the government – which is grappling with an already swollen fiscal deficit – have the capacity to pump in $1 trillion in the infrastructure sector at public expense in the next five years? At least that seems to be the suggestion of the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Rural Development that has recommended the exclusion of all public-private partnership (PPP) and private infrastructure projects from the definition of "public purpose". This proposed amendment to the Land Acquisition and Resettlement and Rehabilitation (LARR) Bill, 2011, would require private sector participants to acquire large tracts of land for infrastructure development by themselves. This will clearly be impossible. The Committee's suggestion, if accepted, could sound the death knell for infrastructure projects in our country.
PPP is the primary mode of infrastructure development and the Planning Commission has estimated that the sector requires $1 trillion during 12th Five-Year Plan. Out of this at least 50 per cent has to come from the private sector against 36 per cent in 11th Plan. In the absence of any land acquisition by the government for PPP projects, the 12th Plan infrastructure target is most unlikely to be achieved.
We welcome the Committee's suggestion to make the definition of "public purpose" specific and not give it unlimited scope that is very often misused. But to leave out infrastructure projects developed on a PPP-basis or by the private sector from the scope of "public purpose" and consider only those projects being developed by the state is retrogressive. This will affect overall development, especially in backward areas. In the current situation, discriminating infrastructure projects on the basis of ownership is not a balanced approach since all these projects are built in the larger public interest. Since these projects require large tracts of land, they often get stuck owing to difficulties in acquiring marginal holdings. Hence, the definition of public purpose should include all infrastructure projects, large industrial zones like national manufacturing and investment zones (spread over 5,000 hectares), industrial corridors (like the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor) and industry or manufacturing for the limited purpose of facilitating acquisition of marginal holdings.
Not just acquisition, but even availability of land is going to be a major issue since the Committee has suggested restrictions on acquiring a variety of land areas. Earlier, the Bill had suggested that no irrigated multi-cropped land shall be acquired under the Act except as a last resort and that too only five per cent of the total irrigated multi-crop area in a district. Now, the Committee has gone a step ahead. First, it has suggested to replace "irrigated multi-cropped land" with "any land under agriculture cultivation" to ensure food security. This would effectively render 142 million hectares (or 43 per cent of the total land area of the country) out of the purview of acquisition for industry or infrastructure.
Second, the Committee has also suggested that, as far as possible, there should be no alienation of land or any land acquisition in Scheduled Areas covered under Schedules V and VI of the Constitution.
This issue needs to be re-examined since most of the fertile land falls in the Indo-Gangetic plains that encompasses areas of Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and West Bengal — the most densely populated regions of the country. Lack of land availability will further slow down the pace of job creation in industrial and manufacturing sectors in these provinces. And areas that are currently backward will remain in the same poor state. Therefore, it should be left to states to evaluate the need for usage of agricultural land for the overall and balanced economic development. The Committee has also recommended that states be allowed to have their own approach and we agree with this.
The Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (Ficci) has said industry is willing to provide appropriate price and rehabilitation and resettlement (R&R) to land owners and affected parties. In fact, we have demanded that land use changes should be notified much in advance, before the possession, so that land owners can get a better price since they would then be aware of the development that will be carried out on their land. This would help in taking the land price to its actual market value and enable a fair compensation for affected families. This would not only minimise problems arising out of the land acquisition process for industry, but also help in faster execution of projects.
The Bill allows the purchase of land for private purpose on a willing buyer, willing seller basis if a private company acquires land less than 100 acres in rural areas and 50 acres in urban areas. However, for acquisition above these levels, R&R provisions given in the Bill would apply. The argument given for the applicability of R&R provisions in private transactions is that there are many families, and not just land owners, whose livelihoods are dependent on the land and they need to be compensated for their loss of livelihood. This argument is fallacious since the root of the problem is lack of records of the affected people and this is the responsibility of the government, not the private sector. If records of the affected people are available, then any market transaction will be able to capture the cost associated with project affected families also. We think the way in which R&R provisions are designed in the Bill would only increase litigation and would hardly result in project completion.
The Parliamentary Standing Committee has itself noted in its report that the government hardly gave any time to stakeholders to submit their views and to consider these. We only hope that such a Bill, which will stifle the growth of manufacturing and infrastructure in the country, is not passed by Parliament. If passed, it will be disastrous for employment generation.

Brands target Independence Day
15 August 2014
NEW DELHI: India's Independence Day is attracting a host of promotions, as brands and services seek to grab consumers' attention during what is expected to be a major shopping weekend.
A relatively recent phenomenon, the Independence Day sales now sit alongside Republic Day and Diwali as a key period for retailers. According to The Hindu, hypermarkets which normally see 1,500-3,000 customers a day can see
up to 6,000 on sale days
, while individual's spending rises from Rs 600-1,000 to Rs 1,500-4,000.
Banks and retailers, both physical and digital, have linked up with a range of cash-back offers, while several brands have created advertising material with a patriotic angle specifically geared towards Independence Day.
Exchange4media reported that "from to TV to digital, all mediums are abuzz with ads to make most of this annual break", and highlighted the
best examples
, including an attempt by FMCG giant Hindustan Unilever (HUL) to set a world record for missed calls.
HUL's Cannes Lions-winning
Kan Khajura Tesan campaign
, which sees consumers call a toll-free number and hang up before being called back with free entertainment content interspersed with advertising, is aiming to get as many missed calls as possible in 120-hour period. In addition, for every 100 missed calls it will
make a donation
to the National Anti-Corruption Investigation Bureau.
"With this initiative, we want to use this powerful platform to drive a social change," declared Priya Nair, HUL vice president.
Public service broadcaster All India Radio took the opportunity of Independence Day to launch a toll-free number linking to a
one-stop shop for advertisers
, particularly those on a limited budget, looking for an easy way to advertise across all its 413 stations.
According to a senior official, "as we are essentially working for the betterment of the country and public at large, so our charges are basic and coverage is the best". All India Radio claims to cover 92% of the country and to reach 99.19% of the population using 23 languages and 146 dialects.

The HPV vaccine has brought the link between HPV and cervical cancer to the attention of many Americans; and while women have been the focus of much of the talk around HPV and cancer, the sexual transmitted infection also puts men at risk for certain cancers.
HPV can lead to anal and penile cancers, as well as cancers of the oropharynx (the middle part of the throat, at the rear of the mouth, including the back of the tongue and the tonsils). In fact, says Memorial Sloan Kettering head and neck surgeon and scientist Bhuvanesh Singh, HPV-related oral cancers are the fastest-growing type of head and neck cancer in the nation, particularly among men.
In recognition of Head and Neck Cancer Awareness Month, we spoke to Dr. Singh about common questions related to oral cancers caused by HPV.
Typically, it can take years, even decades, for HPV to promote the development of head and neck cancer. These cancers most often occur in the base of the tongue or the tonsils. Your risk for developing head and neck cancer depends in part on the type of HPV to which you were exposed. For instance, some strains cause warts on the skin, mouth, or genitals, and rarely, if ever, cause cancer. Other strains are higher risk and have a greater association with cancer formation; those most commonly associated with head and neck cancer are HPV-16 and, less commonly, HPV-18.
Thankfully, for most people, including those with high-risk HPV, the body will get rid of the infection on its own. Unfortunately there is no way to predict which individuals infected with high-risk strains such as HPV-16 will go on to develop cancer.
Alcohol and tobacco use are major risk factors for head and neck cancer; however, they do not appear to affect the development of HPV-related head and neck cancer. In fact, people who smoke or drink heavily and have been infected with HPV tend to have a tumor that behaves more like one caused by alcohol and tobacco use. That said, heavy alcohol or tobacco use can certainly have an impact on your prognosis and your overall health.
When head and neck cancer is diagnosed, the tumor can be tested for HPV using one of several methods. At Memorial Sloan Kettering, this type of testing is standard for all cancers of the oropharynx.
Generally speaking, patients with HPV-positive head and neck cancer have a very high cure rate — around 90 percent. In part this is because people who develop the disease are typically younger than the average head and neck cancer patient and therefore are better able to tolerate treatment.
Another reason these patients do well is that HPV-associated cancers respond better to currently used treatments than head and neck cancers associated with alcohol and tobacco use.
Current research at Memorial Sloan Kettering is looking at ways to minimize the side effects of treatment for patients with HPV-related oral cancers. For example, we are currently studying ways to use robotic technology to remove HPV-associated cancer with the hope of avoiding chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy. The challenge of current research is to decrease the treatment intensity without affecting a patient's chances for a cure.
The HPV vaccine is only useful before a person is exposed to the virus; it is currently recommended prior to any onset of sexual activity for boys and girls between ages 11 to 14.
The main proven benefit of the HPV vaccine is that it prevents cervical cancer and genital warts. The data on head and neck cancer prevention doesn't exist yet, but certainly the hope is that once the benefits of the HPV vaccine begin to take effect, we'll see a significant reduction in the incidence of HPV-positive oral cancers.
Why HPV positive head and neck cancer has improved prognosis than HPV negative?
Sujita, thanks for your question. We sent it to Dr. Singh, who said, "The reason for this is not clear. We know that HPV (+) and HPV (-) cancers have different genetic changes. It is hypothesized that differences in behavior may be attributable to the differences in these genetic changes, but this has not yet been definitively established."
Can you please elaborate the differences in genetic changes between two groups? Thanks
Sujita, according to Dr. Singh, "The mechanism by which HPV promotes the development of head and neck cancers is to produce proteins that function as oncogenes. E6 and E7 are the main oncogenic proteins. E6 primarily imparts its effects by inactivating p53, which in non-HPV-related head and neck cancers is inactivated by direct mutation in the p53 gene instead. Similarly, E7 effects the retinoblastoma pathway, which in non-HPV-related cancers is inactivated by direct mutation. In addition, there are many other genetic differences between HPV and non-HPV-related head and neck cancers. As an example, the p16 protein is overexpressed in HPV-related cancers and lost in non-HPV-related cancers, with its expression often used as a surrogate marker for HPV infection. The significance of this and other genetic differences is not yet known." Thank you for your comment.
My husband was recently treated for head and neck cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering. (Dr. Nancy Lee and Dr. Fury) His cancer was the cause of the HPV virus....I am interested in knowing more about the genetic changes between HPV (-) and HPV (+). Is one more receptive to Chemo and Radiation than the other?
Susan, according to Dr. Singh, HPV(+) tumors are more responsive to chemo-radiation treatment than those that are not associated with HPV. The basis of this increased sensitivity is not yet known. Thank you for your comment.
The genetic pathway for HPV cancers promotes programmed cell death, as occurs during treatment for the cancer. This and the lower average age of patients and reduced co-morbidity (presence of other life threatening diseases) leads to a better outcome, nearly twice a good for HPV positive as HPV negative patients
Guy, Dr. Singh says that this is correct, adding, "The differences are so significant that we and others are looking to see if we can get equivalent cure rates with less-aggressive treatment. We are also looking at whether the unique genetic composition of HPV-related cancers can be exploited by using more targeted agents. These approaches remain experimental and are only undertaken as part of clinical trials." Thank you for your comment.
Does having high risk HPV (16,18) that is actively causing cervical dysplasia mean that person is also at risk for HPV-related head and neck cancers? What type of screening is recommended if so? Thank you!
Odile, according to Dr. Singh, "Head and neck cancers are primarily associated with HPV type 16, the same one that causes cervix cancers. Sexual exposure, specifically oral sex, is thought to be the major route for exposure to HPV. Unfortunately, there are no screening procedures in place at present of head and neck cancers." Thank you for your comment.
Is there any way to tell if you carry the HPV virus?
Margie, there is no screening test to find out a person's HPV status.
Some people find out they have HPV when they get genital warts. Women may find out they have HPV when they get an abnormal Pap test result (during cervical cancer screening). Others may only find out once they've developed more serious problems from HPV, such as cancers. There is no routine or standard HPV screening offered for men.
You can get more general information about HPV by going to the Centers for Disease Control website: http://www.cdc.gov/hpv/index.html
I have a question.... I was treated for stage 2A cervical cancer. Tretments ended 3 years ago. Since then I have had two (cervical tissue) HPV tests and am fine. Can I be HPV free in my cervix and still have HPV in my head and neck tissue? I did have polyps removed from my throat I believe twice as a very young child. I am now 65. Should I have my throat tissue tested as well or is the cervical tissue enough? Is HPV like the Herpes virus, hiding in your central nervous system only to emerge when your immune system gets weakened?
Dear Karen, you can be HPV free in the cervix but still have HPV in the head and neck region. If you are concerned that you may have head and neck cancer, it is best to be examined by an experienced head and neck specialist.
As for your question about HPV hiding in the central nervous system, Dr. Singh had this to say: "HPV usually stays in epithelial cells, not neural cells. It can remain undetected and exert its effects over decades. Factors leading to its persistence and activity are not well defined."
I have 3 questions and I would really appreciate your answer: (1) Can an MRI scan reveal throat and neck cancer?, (2) Does laryncospopy show white plaques in the throat if they exist or does a simple throat screening by a doctor is sufficient?, (3) What symptoms a patient may have so as to look into this more and how can a patient be diagnosed with this disease (i.e. what tests do you run so as to diagnose throat and neck cancer). A person in my family was diagnosed with HPV type 16 five years ago and had a loop excition but fortunately no invasive lesion (carcinoma) existed in the sample. She now has a small child. Many thanks.
Thanks so much for your questions, Hope. Here's what Dr. Singh had to say:
1. Yes, an MRI can reveal cancer if the lesion is large enough.
2. White plaques are called leukoplakia and can represent premalignant lesions. It does not appear the HPV-associated tumors are proceeded by leukoplakic areas or other precursor lesions. See #3 for additional information.
3. Symptoms can be vague but may include sore throat, trouble swallowing, and lumps in the neck. An examination by an experienced physician is usually able to diagnose these cancers. Supplemental examinations, such as CT, MRI, and/or PET scans, can be used to supplement findings on clinical examination and are typically ordered by the treating physician based on information he/she thinks is required.
My husband was diagnosed with HPV -16 tonsil and tounge cancer in 2009.
He was treated with chemo /radiation and the cancer recruited
11 months later,he had a radical neck dissection in 2010 and developed many complications ,he was 53 at onset.
He was never able to eat normally again and fought everyday to survive,he died October 24 ,2013 . My question is do you have any research on inheriting this cancer ,or passing on to children,both my sons have had the guardasil vaccine.
Also ,any research on spouses getting the cancer?
Dear Hildi, thank you so much for sharing your experience and asking your questions. We reached out to Dr. Singh, and here's what he had to say about your questions: "There is no data to suggest inheritance of HPV cancers or transmission to children. Although there is a potential for exposure, the risk is low and there is no data to suggest an association with head and neck cancers. A key reason for this is that while exposure to HPV is common, the vast majority of people clear the virus and acquire immunity to it." Thanks again for your comment.
Thank you very much for your answer. One more question please. Even though you mention that the HPV vaccine is only useful before a person is exposed to the virus and that the main proven benefit of the HPV vaccine is that it prevents cervical cancer and genital warts, do you still recommend the vaccine to an adult that was diagnosed with HPV16 virus in the cervix (i.e. the vaccine does more good than harm?). I don't really understand the meaning ... once the benefits of the HPV vaccine begin to take effect, we'll see a significant reduction in the incidence of HPV-positive oral cancers. Thanks a lot.
Hope, we can't provide specific medical advice, and it's best to discuss any concerns with your regular doctor. However, Dr. Singh responded to a similar Facebook comment that "since there are many different types of HPV, adults may have a putative benefit by getting vaccinated to cover strains they have not been exposed to-- but this is no data to support this at present." That said, head and neck cancers are primarily associated with HPV type 16, the same one that causes cervix cancers.
In terms of the question about seeing a significant reduction in HPV-positive oral cancers once the vaccine begins to take effect, what that means is that as more people get the vaccine, there will over time be a decrease in the proportion of people getting HPV and, therefore, a reduction in the number of associated cancers.
I have had issues with my throat for years such as hoarsness and lump feeling alot of times when i swallow and a tightening constriction suffocating feeling at times. I had a scope by ent back in 2008 and the dx larngeo reflux disease but also stated i had extra lumpy tissue irritated and swollen at the base of my tongue and back of throat. I forgot what the medical term was but they didnt seem to worry. I also have alot of drainage and most of the time my throat feels swollen and i dont know if allergies or what. I had an indirect scope early 2012 or 2013 and the ent said all looked fine but over the year the tightening feeling feels worse and on my right side when i swallow at the base of my tongue the lump feeling feels more prominant. I can swallow food and drink ok i dont think anything gets stuck but its so uncomfortable feeling this lump or sensation on one with the suffocating cinstriction feeling at times. Sometimes it will let up a little and feel a little better but its there most of the time. I havent noticed and swelling on my neck or lympynodes but i do have tones of raised flesh colored tissue bumps at base of tongue when i extend and say ahh. Ive had these forever but looks like they are worse. I noticed a few minths ago a small bump that is actually white that resembles a whitehead on my tongue in the center of my tastebuds. It hasnt grown but hasnt gone away and doesnt hurt. Im 37 female and the last minth ive been to my pcp i forgot to mention thus but they never said nothing when looking in my throat with a Light. Can you offer advice? Would a doctor notice something sich as cancer while examining the throat or woukd it take a laryngeoscopy to detect? What do you think the chances of this being cancer is?
Dear Renee, unfortunately we are unable to offer personal medical advice on our blog. We recommend you follow up with your personal physician.

Is there any link between HPV and thyroid cancer?
As a child I had over 30 warts on my hands. As a young adult I had HPV and just now after 10 years had a recent recurrence. I also just had a thyroid lobectomy and pathology came back as thryroid cancer. I was just wondering if there is any research on possible link?
Maria, we sent your question to thyroid cancer expert James Fagin, who said there is no known link between HPV and thyroid cancer. Thank you for your comment.
My husband was diagnosed with Squamous Cell Carcinoma on April 1 of this year. He had a tumor very close to his voice box that traveled to his lymph node. They didn't do surgery to remove the tumor at the base of his tongue do to might having to remove his voice box. He did get his cancer from HPV. He had 37 radiation treatments and 3 very high dose of chemo. He never smoked and drank very little. He has since had his pet scan and all was great news, No sign of Cancer. It's been over a month now and we went to see all of his Doctors today and the Chemo Dr released him for 3 months and his Radiation Dr released him for 6 months..Great news. Then seen his Ear, Nose and Throat Dr. The exam went really well as far and the tumors, have shrank and no need for surgery but while examining him today he noticed that my husband has a pretty good size Polyp in his nose. He ordered a CT scan which we also did today. The Dr. is going to do surgery to remove it in the near future. My question is..Can a Polyp in his nose have cancer cells? Seems everything I have read tends to say that nose polyps don't have cancer.
Maude, thank you for reaching out and glad to hear the treatment seems to have been successful. Your husband's own doctors are in the best position to answer that specific question about the polyp. You also might call the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Information Service at 800-4CANCER (800-422-6237).

Hello. My husband 49 was diagnosed with HPV16 throat cancer. If we have intercourse without condoms now will I give him penile cancer too? I am terrified. Thank you.

Save green with cloth diapers
A cost analysis of cloth versus disposable diapers.
Fri, Apr 03, 2009 at 02:00 PM
Photo: crumbs!/Flickr
Take one look at a cloth diaper catalog or website and you may feel a bit of sticker shock. No doubt, investing a hundred or so dollars up front in cloth diapers is more expensive than buying a pack of disposables for $20. But just think how quickly those $20's add up. The average baby is likely to need a new pack of disposables every two weeks. Do the math … and that adds up to $240 in disposables diapers in just six months.
If you're already feeling the financial pinch of the recession, you'll want to stretch your hard-earned dollars as far as they will go. The fact is that using cloth diapers can save you thousands of dollars over the course of your child's diapering years. If you have more than one child, the cost savings continue to add up over the years.
Here is a rough estimate of the cost comparison between cloth and disposable diapers:
Cloth diapers
Diapers needed: 24
Cost per diaper: $17.95
Total cost: $430.80
Cost per diaper: $17.95
Total cost: $430.80
Disposable diapers
Diapers needed: 6,000-8,000
Cost per diaper: .32
Total cost: $1,920- $2,560
Cost per diaper: .32
Total cost: $1,920- $2,560

Right, now that the dust has settled and we can lick our war wounds, we could go a bag of chips, no? But where from? This is an urgent and significant question demanding the best minds that the Welsh forum can bring together... In my experience, you need to define *what type* of chip it is that you like, before deciding on the appropriate chippy. So for me, they need to be well cooked, preferably golden-brown-ish, crispy/crunchy and NOT DRIPPING IN FAT! There's a couple on chip lane (Dorothy's and Tony's?) that usually seem to come up with the goods on that score, but a few times (ime at closing time!) when they can't be arsed to cook the chips properly because of the queues, the chips come out whitish and soft. Bleurrrrrgghh... Then there's the nationally renowned Albany Fish Bar, but it was quite average last night, and thus prompted me to ask this question here. I have to say that neighbourly familiarity can allow me to state without fear of contradiciton that the chips served on Clifton St are never more than OK. So, your nominations for the best chippy in Cardiff?
Mc Donaghs on Albany Road ... the best ever and stacks of them , and while you wait you get Kurdish version of TOTp.
Which one's that, then? If a chippy on Albany Rd wins this, we can all go there after the moustache-off on 6th
like dot n tony's chips one on the corner of cowbridge rd east and neville st, green frontage is good, massive portion and consistently good, funny blokes in there as well. also the codfather halfway into canton does lovely thickish crispy style. haven't tried many more tbh
Along with Albany Fish Bar, Devonia on Whitchurch Road has always been rated pretty highly on my personal chippyometer, however for the real deal head down to Irene's in Barry.
Aye, I forgot to mention the Codfather - you got to love it for the name alone - but I don't know the one on Neville St. Must have a look.
FAMILY FISH BAR! Salisbury Road in Cathays. Don't know if any of you would go round those parts if you aren't one of us students, but they are lush! Lovely Fish and the chips are just amazing. Exactly what you need after a piss up. Just a word of advice, stay away from woodville fish bar, Worst.chips.ever
I used to live right opposite Devonia. The fish and chips were pretty good, but what was best was that they stocked groceries, albiet with a miniscule range of about ten items. Bog roll, ragu, Bonjella, Chocolate Biscuits, and a few cleaning chemicals was about the ling and the short of it. Very handy for when I was busting for the toilet and out of paper. Also, if you used devonia paper to blow your nose it reeks of chips.
So that's two votes for Devonia, which I'd never heard of. Hmmm, might have to give it a try. And three votes (?) for the Albany (yep, the potato fritters - on a good day - are heaven ), as well as a couple of honourable mentions for Dot's & Tony's. Not really clinching it here people, are we? Perhaps we need a post-moustache chip-off? @ joffle - "exactly what you need after a piss-up" doesn't strike me as a huge recommendation. We're gourmands here, or at least KBT is We need the sober, clear sighted judgement of unimpaired tastebuds, not the half-remembered droolings of alcoholically-poisoned tastebuds that wouldn't know the difference between a nice bag of chips and a deep-fried roadcone placed on some car's roof Y'see, it's my theory that at closing time the chips don't get cooked enough, and thus get served all white and mushy, bleurghhh!
PMSL So, you made it back over the bridge? Christ, the image of you doubled up, sphincter tightening, while you try to pay for a packet of toilet rolls as well as some biccies (just to take the bad look of it!)... doesn't bear thinking about
Lucky for me, even when i'm absolutely bladdered my brain steers me away from caroline street...except in times of dire necessity. Thereby avoiding a ten-fold increase in the chances of getting filled in and two hours on the shitter the next day. I feel sorry for the silly buggers who've bought an apartment overlooking it.
Is Uncle Sams still on Albany Road? Can you still get a giant garlic mayo burger?? I used to love going there when I was a student in Cdf.
Any chippie on Caroline Street after 6 pints of Brains used to taste lush. But it's gone all posh now.
Family Fish bar is great for a 'between home and town' chip stop if you're planning a night of heavy drinking and haven't had any tea. Have they still got an Outrun arcade game in there?
As a Rhondda boy myself I had to giggle when I saw the name. But the BEST-EVER Rhondda Chippy was Mrs G's by the Griffin in Pentre

12 June 2006 12:54 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS news)--BASF has completed the acquisition of Engelhard and has begun the process of integrating the US catalysts maker into its organisation, the German chemicals giant announced on Monday.
BASF said Engelhard was now a wholly-owned subsidiary of BASF and had been de-listed from the New York Stock Exchange.
Jurgen Hambrecht, chairman of BASF, said it was intended to make Engelhard an integral part of BASF to leverage both companies' expertise and technology.
The long-running takeover battle ended with Engelhard accepting the $39/share offer from BASF, the world's largest chemicals company by sales volume (including its energy business).

I don't think there'd be any reason why a 16" belt driven fan couldn't cool your mild 350. Just be sure you encircle it with a proper shroud to promote good airflow and add a spacer if needed to get the fan as close to the radiator as possible and you should be all set.
I like to use the ZIPs water pump riser ... on a SBC ... Raises the fan about 5 inches to clear the lower radiator hose and I can run a 18 inch fan ... with room to spare ... on my 32 ... Also has a alternator mount cast into it ... Parr Automotive and others sell them . They are made in Pennsylvania. |
GM 4 blade solid fan isn't very big, like 15" or so, and it pulls more air than anything else I've seen. Even the after market 6 blade fans don't come close. I can get a GM no for you if you wish.
Nearly every dirt tracker round here will use one whle running gas. |
How Small a Fan Can I Use?
This story is to just give you an idea on how little fan you need if you are able to keep your ride moving and don't do much stopping at lights and no fancy air conditioning, etc. When I first built my 40 Ford with a 324 Olds in 1965 I used no fan. That's right no fan. I built the car and had it running in mid April. I was using a 36 Dodge rad and the placement of the rad hoses would not allow the stock Olds fan to clear.
In the next two weeks we drove the car from Regina, Saskatchewan to Vancouver, British Columbia and then to San Francisco and back. The car never overheated once in the whole trip until we got stuck in rush hour traffic some where in California. We went to the local junk yard and found an Olds fan and cut it down with a hack saw until it cleared the rad hoses. We ended up with fan blades about 6 inches long (12 inches in diameter). We put it on and checked for balance and drove away. By the way the junk yard owner did not charge those "crazy Canadians" for the fan (I am eternally grateful for US/Canada friendship). That fan stayed on the car until I sold it. I did dress up the hacksaw cuts when I got home and painted it to look pretty. The car never did overheat ever again. I never would do that again as I am sure I wouldn't get away with it and the fan would go through the rad. That rad did cost a whole two dollars though. |
I put a electric fan in my SWB chevy three years ago and wired it with a soleniod and rocker switch on the dash. Looks nice. Although I havent used the fan for cooling since I was stuck in a traffic jam due to construction on I-70. It was about 90 that day in June of 2005. My truck never see's more than 230 with out a fan. Just good air flow I guess.
Thanks for everyone's input. I have ended up with a 15" 6 blade. We'll see how it works. The local speed shop guy didn't recommend flexible blades-not enough cooling when they flatten out he said. So I've got a nice traditional Flex-o-lite, painted black which will look fine. I'll keep y'all posted on how it cools.
BTW-the Zips riser from Paar lists for $229. Nice idea,but I can buy a lot of fans for that. |
Just my 2 Vince |
Also true. For the moment, after a long discussion with our local speed shop owner,I've gone with a fixed pitch 6 blade 15" fan that mounts where the original fan was,but clears all the obstacles. I'll try it out-always nice to know there are alterantives. Thanks.
BTW, turns out the old fan was way out of round,17" some places,17.5" in others across the diameters. Also the orginial builder used oversized washers as spacers. I expected things to run a lot more smooothly without all that slop up front. |
The best flex fans in my opinion are the Imperial brand stainless ones with large square blades and lots of pitch. Derale used to market a good one but I think that brand is now defunct. Plastic fans are worthless. 3/4 inch core clearance is good. If you don't have a full shroud, those little ring shrouds are worthless in my opinion. That old wives tale about flattening out and not pulling air is baloney with a good fan. |

I have a system of 2 PDEs, one with a probabilistic right side, and kind of stuck on what to read about those things.. Any good books around? Both analytical (if any) and numerical methods are welcome. I have some PDE literature and some SDE literature, but need to figure out SPDEs... Thanks!

On the analytical side, I like a lot the book A Concise Course on Stochastic Partial Differential Equations by Prevot and Roeckner. It is a very well written introduction to SPDEs. Besides this, I know a couple of people who are very fond of Stochastic Equations in Infinite Dimensions by da Prato and Zabczyk. |

"One of the nation's senior scientists alerted the federal government to a newly discovered organism that may have the potential to cause infertility and spontaneous abortion in farm animals, raising significant concerns about human health. Dr. Don Huber, professor emeritus at Purdue University, believes the appearance and prevalence of the unnamed organism may be related to the nation's over reliance on the weed killer known as Roundup and/or to something about the genetically engineered Roundup-Ready crops. In a letter to Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack, the professor called on the federal government to immediately stop deregulation of roundup ready crops, particularly roundup ready alfalfa."
"For example, 450 of 1,000 pregnant heifers fed wheatlege experienced spontaneous abortions. Over the same period, another 1,000 heifers from the same herd that were raised on hay had no abortions. High concentrations of the pathogen were confirmed on the wheatlege, which likely had been under weed management using glyphosate."
Heartbreaking. Please spread the word.

Sally Smith, president and CEO of Buffalo Wild Wings Inc.
CEO Pay Watch Buffalo Wild Wings Inc.
Sally Smith, president, CEO
Total compensation: $5,580,758 for the year ended Dec. 31
Salary: $700,000
Non-equity incentive pay: $919,800
Other compensation: $149,865
Exercised stock options: $949,240
Value realized on vesting shares: $2,861,853
New stock options: 12,293
Total 2013 shareholder return: 102.1 percent
Note: Smith's take-home compensation of $5.6 million was more than a 58 percent increase over 2012.
The compensation committee gave Smith a 10.2 percent increase in base salary, from $635,000 to $700,000, to recognize her performance in 2012 and because her base salary was below the median for the company's peer group.
Her annual performance bonus is based on the casual restaurant company's revenue, net income, same-store sales growth, and number of new restaurant openings.
The company's annual revenue in 2013 of $1.27 billion was just shy of its target for the year. But net income of $72.8 million flew by its target of $57.5 million. The company had same-store-sales growth in all four quarters and thanks to more stores opened by franchisees met its new-stores-opened goal of 107.
Those performance measures earned Smith a bonus greater than the target for the year.
Buffalo Wild Wings executives also get long-term equity awards in the form of performance-based restricted shares. For the 2011-2013 performance period the company had net income of $178.8 million, which was above the targeted net income goal of $162.7 million, and executive officers earned the maximum number of shares under the program.

Vincenzo Natali
Vincenzo Natali | |
Natali at ComicCon 2010
Born | Detroit, United States |
January 6, 1969
Other names | Vince Natali |
Occupation | Film director, screenwriter |
Years active | 1997–present |
Vincenzo Natali (born January 6, 1969) is an American-Canadian film director and screenwriter, best known for writing and directing science fiction films such as Cube, Cypher, Nothing, and Splice.
Early life[edit]
Natali was born in Detroit, Michigan, to a nursery school teacher/painter mother and a photographer father.[1] He is of Italian and English descent.[1] He moved to Toronto, along with his family, at the age of one. During his time in high school, Natali befriended British-born Canadian actor David Hewlett who has appeared in the majority of films that Natali has directed. Natali also attended the film programme at Ryerson University. He was eventually hired as a storyboard artist at the Nelvana Animation Studios.[2] His cinematic influences included Samuel Beckett, David Cronenberg,[3] and Terry Gilliam.[4]
Natali's directing debut came in 1997, when he was approached to direct Cube (1997).[5] The film became a success worldwide, especially in Japan and France, grossing $15 million in France, and breaking box office records for a Canadian film. At the 19th Genie Awards, the film received five nominations and also won the award for Best Canadian First Feature at the Toronto International Film Festival. After this success, Natali went on to direct Cypher (2002) and Nothing (2003).[6]
Following the June 2010 release of Splice (2009),[7] Natali's next efforts were expected to be an adaptation of J. G. Ballard's 1975 novel High Rise[8] and a 3D adaptation of the Len Wein/Berni Wrightson comic book character Swamp Thing,[9] for producer Joel Silver.[10] A May 2010 item in The Hollywood Reporter, however, announced that Natali was to replace Joseph Khan as director of the highly anticipated adaptation of cyberpunk author William Gibson's 1984 masterwork Neuromancer.[11] Natali is nominated for the 4th Annual Splatcademy Awards under the category "Best Director" presented by Cadaver Lab for his work Splice.[12] In 2013 his series Darknet, an adaptation of the Japanese series Tori Hada, began airing on Super Channel in Canada. In 2015 he directed the episodes "Antipasto", "Primavera" and "Secondo" of the third season of the crime drama series Hannibal.[13]

Donna practises Clinical Hypnotherapy, NLP, Motivation & Life Coaching, Reiki, Indian Head Massage, Indian Face Massage, Hot Stone Therapy and Thermauricular Therapy as well as regular Meditation Classes. She also has considerable experience of CBT and EFT techniques. Donna is a member is the General Hypnotherapy Register, General Hypnotherapy Standards Council and the British Holistic Medicine Association. She also runs www.alternativevitality.co.uk which offers a wide range natural & organic health, beauty and home products.
Like many practitioners I became interested in holistic health after an extended period of illness during which I was treated with complimentary and traditional medicine. I've always had an interest in complementary therapies, but it was during this time that I realised how incredibly beneficial they could be. I have practiced yoga and meditation for around 14 years and my first step on my new path was to train as a Meditation Teacher. Reiki sessions encouraged me to train to be a Reiki practitioner and then, just at exactly the right time, I found that The School of Natural Health Sciences (SNHS Ltd).
During my recovery I began to develop a vision of what I wanted to do – I wanted a centre where people could have access to a wide range of options for healing and personal development. After a lot of thought and considerable encouragement from my partner, I decided to put my many years experience as a business development consultant and coach into the development of Alternative Vitality. And then, out of the blue, my employer announced a round of voluntary redundancies and I decided that it was now or never.
That was over a year ago and I have never looked back. I run a treatment centre in the Highlands of Scotland where we offer Clinical Hypnotherapy, Coaching and Complementary Therapies. We also have a retail side to the business where we stock some of the best natural and organic health and beauty brands. I work closely with Brian Lamb, who is the longest established herbalist in the UK and his daughter Sophia who is the first, second generation herbalist. Brian is also based here in the very far north of Scotland and provides all our herbal remedies and a fantastic range of skincare.
The coming year will see us develop the centre to allow for retreats and an expansion of our services to offer Hypnobirthing programmes and yoga lessons. To fit with my vision, Alternative Vitality had to be available to everyone, so www.alternativevitality.co.uk was established, providing access to online and telephone based coaching, meditation resources, and our complete range of health and beauty products and herbal remedies. We also provide a hugely popular range of light therapy equipment. Recently we've expanded to include eco-friendly products for home and garden which can be accessed through our website or www.wikaniko.com/1002460
Without the SNHS, I would still be wondering 'what if'. I was a bit unsure at first as to whether distance learning would be enough but the courses really have allowed me to develop and grow what has become a very successful business. As with any training, you get out what you put in. so give your all to the courses, really focus on your case studies and take full advantage of any practical training opportunities, You too could make the change from 'dreaming the life' to 'living the dream'

What to do with my old spinnaker?

Re: What to do with my old spinnaker?
If the fabric of the sail feels okay, and the seams are good, there is no reason you can't use the sail without a pole although not dead down wind. You can make yourself a "tacker" that loops over your furled head sail and will ride up and down over the sail controlled by a tack line through a snatch block set just forward of your head stay. The tacker can be made by passing a length of wire rope through a collection of solid plastic balls--enough to encircle the furled jib loosely--and bending the ends back over themselves around thimbles and secured with compression swages (i.e. a string of parrell beads). Then fit snap shackles through each thimble--one to snap the two thimble ends together, encircling the furled jib and the second to connect to the tack of the spinnaker. The "tack line" than connects to the tacker at the point at which its thimbles are joined, or to the "tack" of the sail itself. With this arrangement, the height of the tack can be adjusted up or down to match the height of the opposite "clew". The sail can be launched in the conventional fashion and can be carried from about 45º, with the "tack" hauled down tightly, to roughly 160º with the tack lifted up to 8-10' above the deck (depending upon how the sail sets when off the wind. Running off, the sail might like a foot or two free of the masthead to get a good set.
The forgoing is not difficult and can put your sail to good use for you.
"It is not so much for its beauty that the sea makes a claim upon men's hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air, that emanation from the waves, that so wonderfully renews a weary spirit."

I trust that you all had a wonderful holiday and a great start to 2013! We caught a red eye flight home & theoretically would have celebrated New Year's while in the air but I believe we were all soundly asleep well before the proverbial clock struck 12. With that said, sleeping upright in economy class gave me a greater appreciation for developing ischemic pressure ulcers as I just couldn't find a comfortable position, if you get my drift. Luckily, no one's calves are swollen & tender after both the outbound & inbound flights.
However, if you've been following Secretary of State Hilary Clinton's health of late, you'll note that she hasn't been as lucky. Apparently she caught a bug, let's say a common variety stomach flu, and got dehydrated. As a result, she fainted . Then due to the impact of hitting her head on something hard, presumably the floor, she got a concussion, which was diagnosed later in the week. Like a line of dominoes, when the first one falls, it knocks over the next which knocks over the next, ad nauseum (pun intended). But where she was really dealt a bad hand of cards was after following doctor's orders for bed rest. And so she was admitted over this past weekend after developing a blood clot. More commonly, the typical blood clot resulting from bed rest (and potentially long flights) occurs in one's legs. However, in the case of Mrs. Clinton, she developed her blood clot in a vein in her brain , presumably from less movement & fluid. All this resulting from that simple stomach flu just weeks earlier. Ironically, the same week that Mrs. Clinton suffered her fainting spell for which she was apparently not hospitalized, a population-based case-control analysis of over 37,000 Danes was published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology in which the authors concluded that hospitalization for unexplained first time fainting portended greatest risk over the ensuing 4-5 years for those 25-75yo. Which goes to show you the importance of washing your hands when dealing with the public! So in the spirit of the New Year, how about adding hand washing to your list of resolutions?

Many buildings are still constructed or remodelled without consideration of energy conserving strategies or other sustainability aspects. To provide substantial improvements in energy consumption and comfort levels, there is a need to treat buildings as complete optimised entities not as the sum of a number of separately optimised components.

Poker Games
While internet casinos were available at the start of the Web era, online poker games didn't appear until the late Nineties. Since then, they've become one of the world's most popular and prolific pastimes, thanks in large part to televised tournaments like the WSOP and WPT.
Texas Holdem games receive most of the attention, but there are a number of other live and online poker games worth checking out. Of course, to play them you've got to know their unique poker rules; to master them, you've got to have a strategy.
This is why we've compiled a comprehensive set of instructional poker pages for each of the most popular online poker games. We've got everything from 'Poker Rules for Texas Holdem Games' to 'Advanced Poker Tips and Strategies for Omaha Hi'.
And for those looking to skip the learning and start playing, we offer a free flash poker game version of Texas Holdem. Even for newbies, a flash poker game can be a great supplement to simply reading poker pages and instructional articles.
Omaha Hi-Lo PokerOmaha Hi-Lo games are similar to standard Omaha games. But a low hand qualifier and split pots make it a more complex, and some say "sophisticated" game. 7 Card Stud Poker GamesRead this straightforward guide to the rules, mechanics and betting action involved in Seven Card Stud Poker. Razz Poker GamesRazz Poker (aka Seven Card Stud Low) is a card game played for the low hand. While Razz games may not be as popular as Holdem or Omaha, they still pose a great challenge for casino and internet poker players. Mixed Poker GamesWhile millions of players flock to no-limit Texas Hold'em for both tournaments and cash game action, the best poker players in the world apply their skill to a wide range of poker variants. Ace to Five Triple Draw PokerAce to Five Triple Draw Poker (also written as "A-5 Triple Draw") has its own set of unique poker hand rules. With the advent of internet poker, some of the best poker sites online Deuce to Seven Triple Draw PokerDeuce to Seven Triple Draw Poker (also written as "2-7 Triple Draw") offers players a welcome diversion from standard poker games. |

A new approach for improving coronary plaque component analysis based on intravascular ultrasound imagesTaki, Arash and Hetterich, Holger and Roodaki, Alireza and Setarehdan, S. K. and Ünal, Gözde and Rieber, Johannes and Navab, Nassir and König, Andreas (2010) A new approach for improving coronary plaque component analysis based on intravascular ultrasound images. Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 36 (8). pp. 1245-1258. ISSN 0301-5629
Official URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ultrasmedbio.2010.05.009 AbstractVirtual histology intravascular ultrasound (VH-IVUS) is a clinically available technique for atherosclerosis plaque characterization. It, however, suffers from a poor longitudinal resolution due to electrocardiogram (ECG)-gated acquisition. This article presents an effective algorithm for IVUS image-based histology to overcome this limitation. After plaque area extraction within an input IVUS image, a textural analysis procedure consisting of feature extraction and classification steps is proposed. The pixels of the extracted plaque area excluding the shadow region were classified into one of the three plaque components of fibro-fatty (FF), calcification (CA) or necrotic core (NC) tissues. The average classification accuracy for pixel and region based validations is 75% and 87% respectively. Sensitivities (specificities) were 79% (85%) for CA, 81% (90%) for FF and 52% (82%) for NC. The kappa (kappa) = 0.61 and p value = 0.02 indicate good agreement of the proposed method with VH images. Finally, the enhancement in the longitudinal resolution was evaluated by reconstructing the IVUS images between the two sequential IVUS-VH images.

Native American deer call
So knowing that deer are curious and will come to the sound of a chain saw and other things I took a Native American flute to the stand with me this weekend. I played some simple tunes and . . . no one showed up for the concert. Live well, be safe Prof Young |

They only come to flutes made from eagle bone. Of course if your not a Native American and have an eagle bone flute your probably in trouble with the fish and wildlife service. Good luck

haha first time I've heard of that one. interesting, I remember hearing the ole timers talking about how a soft whistle through brush or trees meant that a deer was nearby. I never put the two together till now but a lot of the attempts anyone ever made to demonstrating was about the same as a low pitched note from a nice cedarwood flute.
now you've got me wanting to go out and try it!!!

Sorry Bubba but the flute was used to court women. Not attract deer.

Seems to be that the only sure-nuf sound they will investigate, is the sound of warm running water, trickling down tree bark.
Ever tried shooting from that position? |

The sound of human snoreing seems to bring them also. Everyone has heard stories where someone was asleep with deer under their stand.
