1863 Quarter Eagle, AU Details
Only 12 Pieces Believed Known, All Proofs
Key to the Quarter Eagle Series
1863 $2 1/2 -- Smoothed -- PCGS Genuine. AU Details. The
term "legendary" is easily tossed around in numismatic circles. Few
issues actually are. The 1863 quarter eagle is one of the few that
does qualify. Struck only in proof format -- only 30 pieces were
produced -- collectors of this challenging series must locate one
of the 12 or so coins that remain. The rarity of this date was
recognized early on, as seen by the 1883 correspondence between
Harold Newlin and T. Harrison Garrett (cited in the 100 Greatest
U.S. Coins reference). Even though the fields on this piece
have been smoothed, it is still abundantly obvious this is proof
striking. Numerous small contact marks are scattered over each
side, none of which are individually distracting. Rivaled only in
rarity by the 1841 "Little Princess," an issue that also appears in
this auction.Only 12 Pieces Believed Known, All Proofs
Key to the Quarter Eagle Series
From the Collection of Donald E. Bently, sold for the benefit of the Bently Foundation.(Registry values: P7) (NGC ID# 287H, PCGS# 7889)

COLUMBIA — Two Columbia-area higher education institutions could receive millions in funding to train new mental health professionals in a budget proposal announced by Gov. Jay Nixon.
Nixon outlined the proposal during a news conference Wednesday at Moberly Area Community College's Columbia Higher Education Center, saying he hopes to improve the state's mental health care system and stimulate the economy. Nixon said this proposal would address gaps in the state's mental health care system and create new, high paying jobs across the state.
Under the initiative, which will be a part of Nixon's fiscal 2015 budget proposal, MU would receive $6.4 million to train new mental health professionals. Nixon said Moberly Area Community College's Columbia branch would also receive $167,000.
Nixon said this measure is needed to improve the health of Missourians because of a critical shortage of trained mental health professionals in the state. Currently, 72 Missouri counties do not have a licensed psychiatrist, and 90 counties do not have a licensed applied behavioral analyst to provide therapy for patients suffering from autism spectrum disorders, Nixon said.
Nixon said Missouri colleges and universities have committed to graduating 1,200 mental health professionals under the initiative.
"These health professionals will build on the work we've already done to close dangerous gaps in our mental health system and make sure every Missourian has a fair shot to live up to their God-given potential," Nixon said.
Nixon also spoke about the potential economic impacts of the initiative, saying it would bring jobs to communities across the state.
Nixon also highlighted the economic impact the proposal would have on the Columbia area. Of the $20 million earmarked for the program, MU would be the largest single recipient, according to a news release from Nixon's office. The money would be used to train more psychiatrists, psychiatric nurses, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, physical therapists, licensed psychologists and behavioral analysts, Nixon said.
The money proposed for the Moberly Area Community College branch at Parkade Center would be used to build classroom and lab facilities, train new professionals and develop a certification program for behavioral health technicians.
"These are good jobs that are in demand now," Nixon said. "We just need the qualified professionals to fill them."

Brindle Dachshunds
Brindle Dachshunds..who doesn't love stripes?
The Brindle Dachshund is definitely in a class of it's own. They are beautiful and flashy in their own distinguished way. Brindle Dachshunds have that little extra something that sets them apart from a normal Doxie. Brindle is a pattern. Put simply, it means a dachshund that has "stripes". Really pretty dark colored stripes that can either be on the main body or in the tan points. Any color can be combined with a Brindle Pattern. Mostly commonly you will see Red Brindle Dachshunds. The Black and Tan Brindle Dachshunds usually have their brindle stripes in their tan points. The same can usually be said with Chocolate and Tan Brindle Dachshunds and The Dilute colors. You have to take into consideration that these are rules of thumb..but, anything is possible. Ponderosa Pups has worked for years to try to produce a chocolate and tan or dilute with brindle striping on the main body. If you have one of these, please send pictures! I would love to see it and share it on this page.
Now, genetically speaking Brindle is a dominant gene. This means that you could breed a solid colored dog that does not carry Brindle to a dachshund that shows Brindle Stripes and still produce Brindle Dachshund puppies. There are always exceptions to every rule. There are hidden Brindles! Dogs that are genetically Brindle Dachshunds that show no sign of Brindle Markings. They produce Brindle Dachshund Puppies. This is more common in the English Cream lines. Still, it's really neat.
Unlike the Dapple Dachshunds, you can breed a brindle dachshund to a brindle dachshund and everything will be fine. It just makes the chances better for producing Brindle Dachshund puppies. As Brindle Dachshund Breeders can tell you.. it is always different with every litter.
New observations about the Brindle Dachshund
I would like to add some information about a reverse brindle dachshund. This is a bit of a genetic anomaly. Totally beautiful, and I must admit that is a little hard to spot at first. I first noticed this pattern on a black and tan brindle dachshund many years ago. Since as this was the first brindle I had ever seen.. it didn't really dawn on me that Tiger was different. He was a stunning dark colored dog with light tan stripes allover his body. Where most brindle stripes only attach themselves to the variations of red. Normally a black and tan brindle dachshund would have a black body and only show their stripes in their tan points. Whereas a Red Dachshund would show their brindle stripes allover their body since there entire color is red. Somehow the brindle gene attached itself to the base color instead of the usual tan point stripes.
Anyway, when I started breeding the English Cream Brindles I noticed there were occasionally dogs that were yellow with dark stripes and others that were dark bodied with yellow stripes. I have always been very interested in the actual genetics of a Dachshund and to me.. this is very interesting information. I look forward to experimenting with this in the next few years. If you have more information about the reverse brindle dachshund, please let me know.
Below are some examples of our Brindle Dachshunds and their puppies. Please click the link to see if we have any Brindle Dachshund Puppies for Sale. Ponderosa Pups are experienced and passionate Brindle Dachshund Breeders. Yet, we only have a few Brindle Miniature Dachshund litters per year.

Did you know that horses, giniea pigs, etc. also come in brindle patterns? Read about it at the Wikipedia Brindle Page

The Premier League runners-up have just four points to their name in five visits to the Potters since 2008, with the last four meetings all ending in 1-1 draws
Manchester City travel to Stoke on Saturday looking for their first ever Premier League victory at the Britannia Stadium.The 2011-12 champions have visited Stoke on five occasions since their return to the top flight in 2008, collecting just four points along the way.
The last four league meetings between the sides in the Midlands have ended in 1-1 draws, with Javi Garcia earning a point for the visitors after Peter Crouch's opener in the most recent clash there in September last year.
5/1 | Stoke are 5/1 with Bet365 to beat Man City |
Hughes spent 18 months at the helm at City between June 2008 and December 2009, and has lost three of his four meetings against them since leaving - games that came during his time in charge of Fulham and QPR.
But the Welshman will hope to emulate his record against his former employers from his period as manager of Blackburn Rovers between 2004 and 2008 - when he won four and drew four of his eight encounters with them - at his new club.
Another former City man looking to make an impression at Stoke is midfielder Stephen Ireland, who arrived at the Britannia Stadium on a season-long loan from Aston Villa on transfer deadline day.
The 27-year-old - who is in line to make his debut on Saturday - enjoyed the most productive season of his career under Hughes at the Etihad Stadium in 2008-09, when he scored nine Premier League goals.
And the former Republic of Ireland international cannot wait to work with the 49-year-old and his coaching team again.
"They are all really good people, and I mean it when I say that I am excited to be here working with them again, they are the best coaching staff that I have ever had," he told Stoke's official matchday programme.
Hughes has a fully fit squad to choose from for the game - a luxury not enjoyed by the man in the opposite dug-out.
Pellegrini will again be without captain Vincent Kompany, who is continuing to recover from a groin injury, while new signing Martin Demichelis is expected to be out for around another month with a knee problem and Micah Richards (hamstring) remains absent.
Playmaker David Silva is also a doubt after suffering a minor thigh complaint while on international duty with Spain.

The iPad Air 2 is a nice refinement and finesse of last year's model, with a bevy of tweaks, enhancements, a much faster processor, and the welcome addition of Touch ID. Simply put: it's still the gold standard for tablets.
The LG 55EC9300 lives up to the promise of OLED with the best picture quality of any TV we've ever reviewed.
The budget-priced Surface 3 is a solid tablet that finally runs the real version of Windows, but it would be a much better value if the must-have keyboard cover was included.
Transform this one machine into a lawn mower, snow thrower, leaf blower, or pressure washer.
Impressive Amazon features and an outstanding display make the the Fire HDX 8.9 one of the best and most affordable media consumption tablets.
The updated HTC One M9 packs speed and software improvements into a handset that remains lustworthy in middle age, but it doesn't exceed the competition where it counts.
The HTC Desire 510 doesn't have the specs to excite committed tech fans, but it handles the basics well, has 4G LTE for superfast data speeds, and it doesn't cost the earth.
While its camera isn't best-in-class and Windows Phone's underwhelming app selection still stings, the elegant and sophisticated HTC One M8 is an enticing alternative to Nokia models.
Pricing not available
The Sony Xperia Z3 is Sony's most formidable to date with a formidable display and promising features that easily give Android competition from HTC, LG and Samsung a run for their money.
While it may be a bit overpriced, the Momentum 2.0 Wireless is an an excellent and well-designed Bluetooth headphone with active noise-cancellation that also offers strong wired performance.

Inside Story AmericasTime for a tactical shift in the drug war Will the Mexican president's call to revise the global policy on drugs lead to greater success in combating the scourge? 28 Sep 2012 10:03 GMT | Politics, US & Canada, Latin America, Colombia, Guatemala Felipe Calderon, the outgoing Mexican president, has called for a transformation in international thinking on drug policy.In his final speech as president of the UN General Assembly, he said that developed countries like the US were not going enough to cut their drug consumption, so it was time to act. "… The United Nations has to lead a far-reaching international debate which would make it possible to take stock, on the one hand, of the progress and limits of the current prohibitionist approach, which has led to the results that we've achieved thus far. They must also carry out a study on the human violence, the unacceptable violence, that is produced by the production, distribution and trafficking of drugs in the world… and which has made, it is painful to say this, but it has made Latin American and the Caribbean the most region in the world…" "Washington would look at [Calderon's criticism] with great distaste. President Obama clearly has discouraged and said despite what Latin American leaders might think the US is not wavering an inch on its military approach to the drug war." - Bruce Fein, a former US associate deputy attorney-general Calderon argued that developed nations have a responsibility to approach the issue of drugs realistically, not just by considering a regulated drug market, but by viewing it as a public health problem.It is a remarkable turnaround for a man who, during his six-year presidency of Mexico, launched and presided over a war on drugs that killed an estimated 60,000 of his people.Those who have long called for a change in policy have applauded his bold call to action, while at the same time noting Calderon's emphatic plea to the UN was not actually mentioned in the official UN summary of his comments.Sanho Tree, the director of the Drug Policy Project at the Institute of Policy Studies, commenting on the omission, said: "It sounds like a lot of censorship because fully half of his speech was devoted towards criticising the international war on drugs and the conventional approaches that have been undertaken, and yet when your read the official summary on the website it's as though it's been scrubbed of any type of criticism. In fact it makes him sound like a cheerleader… it's actually quite offensive because future historians and journalists…will assume from the summary that there was really no criticism of the drug war."Tree said the UN was also "very defensive" about reopening discussions on amending three related conventions which, he says "keep the international drug war locked in place".Mexican drug traffickers largely control the illicit drug market in the US. "Calderon still has a couple of months left [in office]…he's just planting the seed for that thought process to spread a little bit and maybe influence Pena Nieto [Mexico's incoming president] to continue the dialogue or push for revision of international drug policy." - Sylvia Longmire, a drug war analyst About 90 per cent of drugs entering the US are believed to be controlled by Mexican drug gangs, whose presence has grown from 230 US cities in 2008 to more than 1,000 cities in 2010.According to the US Department of Justice, Mexican drug gangs make about $39bn in profits a year, with $6.5bn from exports to the US alone.A World Health Organisation study shows the US is leading the world in drug abuse.According to a new study, marijuana is the most commonly abused drug in the US. It showed a drop in cocaine abuse but a rise in heroin abuse, with heroin users growing from 161,000 in 2007 to 281,000 in 2011.So what does this mean for the future of the war on drugs?To discuss this on Inside Story Americas with presenter Shihab Rattansi are guests: Bruce Fein, a former US associate deputy attorney-general; Sylvia Longmire, an analyst on the drug war; and Laura Carlsen, the director of the Americas Program at the Center for International Policy. "It is absolutely outrageous that once Calderon has thrown down the gauntlet to the UN, and indirectly to the US government…, that the UN is giving this indication that it plans to completely ignore the challenge." Laura Carlsen, from the Center for International Policy Calderon's call for drug addiction to be made a public health issue was echoed by Latin American leaders: Guatemalan President Otto Perez Molina: "We believe that our war against drugs has serious shortcomings. It has not been possible to eradicate the consumption of drugs in the world. The time has come to accept this fight and to adapt this fight taking into account the new realities… It's important that we address the problem for what it is, a public health issue more than a problem for criminal justice… Let us not fill our jails with thousands of young people who can have a different life if we approach this in a different way."Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos: "It is our duty to determine, on an objective, scientific basis, if we are doing the best we can, or if there are better options to combat this scourge… This is only a first step, but one of great importance, as it is the beginning of a discussion that the world has avoided for many years, and one we hope will produce concrete results. The debate on drugs must be frank, and without a doubt, global." Source: Al Jazeera

Bernadette Galvan is an IFBB fitness figure competitor. I can see why. Her figure is astounding. She has excellent taste in spandex and sportswear! She was born in Texas in 1976. She has a nursing degree (that's one hot nurse), but doesn't use it.
She may have short hair, but she certainly does not look butch. Natalie Raitano is gorgeous:
Ana Usategui is a very rare find. By rare find I mean it is impossible to find any information about her. But she is certainly beautiful.

Julie Marsland is 5'10" and 145 lbs. That's a tall drink of water, and she is rather skinny. Very pretty face and smile, she could obviously be a model regardless of her muscle quantity. She is another Canadian – do all hot muscular chicks come from Canada? She is a dancer, flight attendant, model, and […]
Natalie Neidhart is waaay sexy. As far as muscular women go, she isn't the biggest or the most ripped. But wow she has that sultry "would you like to make love to me" look. She is 5'6″, 120lbs. She is from Canada. Believe it or not, she is a professional wrestler.

Editorial on teacher assistant cuts: Berger knows his explanation doesn't wash
Posted By Rob Schofield On June 11, 2014 @ 9:25 am In Uncategorized | Comments Disabled
In case you missed it, Raleigh's News & Observer has an excellent editorial [1] today that takes Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger to task for his wrongheaded action to fire thousands of teacher assistants.
"Phil Berger knows better. A small-town lawyer by trade, the Republican president pro tem of the state Senate deals every day in his profession with figures and laws and details.
And he ought to know that his desperate grasp of weak straws to justify a draconian cut in teacher assistants as proposed in the Senate budget is not going to convince anyone that those cuts are harmless. Fortunately, the House budget is more moderate, perhaps reflecting the U.S. Senate ambitions of Speaker Thom Tillis, who knows he'll have to broaden his appeal outside of the tea party sphere if he's to have a chance to be elected statewide.
The Senate proposal would cut the funding for teacher assistants in half – by more than $200 million – a move that would eliminate about 7,400 positions. The Senate proposal uses the savings to help pay for a $468 million plan to raise teacher pay an average of 11 percent. The state currently ranks 48th in teacher compensation in the country.
Teachers, some of whom met with Berger on Monday, couldn't be blamed for being skeptical. Berger has been a strong critic of teachers, largely because some of them dared to criticize Republicans' earlier cuts to public education."

Kidney scam scares off donors Ludhiana, April 4 Several renal transplant surgeons of the region testify that even genuine kidney donors are afraid of questioning by the police and have decided to defer their plans of donating kidneys for the time being. On the other hand, some nephrologists say that there is no reason for panic as transplant in most cases can wait for a period ranging from a few weeks to a few months. Mr Balbir Chand, Chief Pharmacist, Civil Hospital, needs an immediate renal transplant as both his kidneys are damaged. I got to know about my condition only a few months ago. Though I have limited resources, if I survive, I can earn and
supplement any resources. But the major problem is of finding a kidney donor. Even my relatives are reluctant to come forward for help due to questioning by the police and other formalities. I have got three daughters who are of a marriageable age. If something happens to me, what will be their future?, he asked in a helpless manner. Mr Raj Kumar, another 50-year-old patient, complained that one of his close relatives was ready to donate a kidney to him. But another relative of mine told him that many donors had died after donating their kidneys. So now he does not want to take any risk. I am suffering today because of somebody elses mistake, said Mr Raj Kumar. One of the leading nephrologists at a renowned hospital here said patients were really facing a tough time and the media and the police were responsible for this. I agree that patients are not getting treatment. The police is torturing doctors. Why should we come forward to save the patients? We are scared. The police is misusing its powers, he said. Another senior doctor at Christian Medical College and Hospital said kidney transplant had come to a halt these days and there was a huge rush for dialysis. The screening committee was hesitant to even clear the cases of close relatives (donors) of patients and the patients were suffering. A negative hype has been created by the media. The doctors as well as the donors are now scared, said the doctor. Dr Rajan Issacs, nephrologist at Deepak Hospital, however, said the patients could be treated until the time the government came out with a policy. The patients can be put on dialysis, which can save them. But certainly the problem needs a permanent solution, said Dr Issacs. |
PU Extension Library gets facelift Ludhiana, April 4 Mr Prem Prakash Verma, Chief Librarian since July 2002, says the library received a grant of Rs 8,18,440 lakh from Lala Lajpat Rai, MP, from his discretionary quota in January 2003 and the sum was utilised in giving a fresh look to the library. The paint work has been completed and the lawns manicured. The auditorium attached to the library, where earlier a number of cultural functions used to be held, was lying unused. The roof of the auditorium was leaking and its seats damaged. A part of the money was spent on repairing the roof and getting the broken chairs replaced. Some other items, including curtains, also need to be changed. Mr Verma says, The local colleges affiliated with Punjab University charge Rs 5 as the library fund. The collected funds have exceeded Rs 2 lakh. A managing committee will decide how to use these for the betterment of the library. The number of books in the library has also increased from 15,000 in 1960 to more than one and a half lakh. The library gets Rs 4 lakh as annual fund for the purchase of books. But Mr Verma says that they are able to purchase only 3,000 books every year as the books have now become very expensive. The library has some rare books that date back to 16th and 17th centuries. More than 4,000 students, teachers and special members use the library. A post-graduate students, studying for his examinations, said, The library is a heaven for students specially after the fresh new look. Earlier it was dingy as for the past 10 years no paint work had been done. The only problem is that at times important chapters are found torn from some books . Mr Verma says that when they discover a page missing from a book, they ask students to replace it. Old books are written off with the permission of the PU Vice-Chancellor. The book binding section continuous to repair and bind books. The library also functions as the university information centre. It renders invaluable services to students so that they can purchase forms, including migration and duplicate forms, and other certificates. Computers have been purchased and operators are awaited from the university. |
SARS fear grips people Ludhiana, April 4 The Health Department has not received the copies of WHO guidelines, regarding the management of disease so far and the lack of information about the causative agent of the disease has left doctors puzzled. Health officials, on the condition of anonymity, disclosed that in case of an emergency there was a shortage of ventilators, negative pressure isolation rooms to check the entry of airborne infections and oxygen cylinders in hospitals and dispensaries. Medical experts have urged the people to remain calm and take adequate precautions. The public needs to be cautious, they feel. A senior doctors at a hospital said, Ideally, isolation wards should be equipped with ventilators, but the lack of awareness about the disease and ill-equipped health infrastructure would make it impossible to treat any such case reported here. This would definitely make the risk of others getting infected very high. The doctors have suggested that even a minor fever, accompanied with cold, cough, throat infection, headache and body ache should not be taken lightly and patients should visit a doctor immediately. The pneumonia positive patient should be isolated and one should not share bedding, towel or anything with him. To deal with such a patient, face masks and hand gloves should be worn. When contacted, Dr S.N.Tiwari, Civil Surgeon, said in case an SARS patient is identified, he or she would be isolated immediately. We will handle the case separately and the treatment of the patient will depend on the symptoms, said Dr Tiwari. It may be mentioned here that the mysterious illness has already claimed many lives in various countries. It has already spread its wings in southern China, Hong Kong and Canada and has been taken worldwide by airline passengers. The Indian Government has already decided to screen passengers from all countries at airports for the symptoms related to unknown pneumonia. |
Major changes in BSc (HSc) syllabus Ludhiana, April 4 Stating this, Dr S.K. Mann, chairperson of the committee and Dean of the college, said the changes had been made in order to lay more emphasis on specialised training and to enable the outgoing graduate students to become successful entrepreneurs. She said till date the college had been following 3+1 pattern in which the students were taught core subjects for the first three years and elective subjects only during the final year. However, from the next session, the college would follow 2+2 pattern in which the students would be taught core subjects for the first two years and elective subjects during the last two years. Dr Mann said internship period for the students would now be prolonged. While earlier the duration for internship in various types of industrial and corporate units was limited to eight weeks, now the students would have to undergo training for a period of three to six months. On the contrary, the duration of rural area work experience (RAWE) has been reduced from 15 credit hours to 10 credit hours, each credit hour for practical work being two hours long. Dr Mann said the complete BSc course would now be of 161 credit hours with a few deficiency courses of six credit hours. The students coming from medical stream would have to clear deficiency courses in non-medical subjects and vice versa. Another major change introduced in the syllabus is the doing away with the compulsion of choosing subjects related to agriculture as supporting courses. Instead, the students would have an additional option to select courses from the College of Basic Sciences and Humanities as well. The supporting courses would be of 10 credit hours duration, enabling the students to learn more about the fields they would specialise in. Dr Mann said the students taking Food and Nutrition as the elective subject would now choose subjects such as therapeutic nutrition, dietetics and catering management in great depth during their third and fourth years. These students would have better chances of getting job opportunities as diet consultants or contractors in hotels, hospitals, hostel and campus canteens, tourist spots and other eating joints. Similarly, students opting for Family Resource and Management would take interior designing and institutional housekeeping courses in details. The students choosing Human Development as their elective subject would be taught Organisational management of early childhood programme and Special education for disabled kids in more depth. Likewise, the students of clothing and textiles would be studying detailed aspects of apparel designing and textile designing, while the students of home science extension would study mass communication and information technology at length. The Dean informed that the Board of Studies would present its ideas and suggestions before the Residence Instruction Committee (RIC) in which deans of all colleges would take part. The RIC would then send the proposals to the academic council for the final consent, she said. She said the ICAR had also offered monetary help to the college for setting up better infrastructure that would help meet the requirements of the new study pattern. |
Partaking of jail food to avoid imprisonment Ludhiana, April 4 They rush to the jail for doing an upaya (solution) of the problem they can face in the future as was revealed to them by an astrologer or a palmist, whose number in our country people is large. It sounds unbelievable in this modern, scientific age, but it is quite true. One has to just visit any of the three jails the Central Jail, Womens Jail or the Borstal Jail to see the scene for himself. Guided by the know-all breed of astrologers and palmists, the civilians visit the jail to have a lunch on its premises, or take a portion of the channa sabzi, and mix it with their food to complete the upaya. This, it is said, has saved several from a possible jail term. Mr Chander Sharma, one such resident of Jamaplur, told TNS that he had come to eat a chapatti on the jail premises to prevent a jail term in the future. His astrologer had recommended this method to escape a possible jail term as suggested by his horoscope. He said he believed the astrologer, because several other people, he knew, had benefited from the upaya. One can find several such people on or outside the jail premises. If sources in the jail are to be believed, the number of educated persons belonging to affluent families was much more than people belonging to the middle or the lower classes. Recently, a retired DSP from some other district visited a jail on the recommendation of his astrologer. The sources said he did not go to the jail in his district as he did not want to be recognised. He ate the food here and then revealed his identity to a senior officer. He became a butt of a joke whether he also feared some action after the change in the government. He retired from a plum place of posting recently. Jail officials said the spread of education had made some difference, but people still came in large numbers. On an average, one or two persons visit the jail with the special request every other day. We tell them these things dont help. One has to live a clean life to stay away from the hell-like life behind the bars, a senior jail official said. But people dont listen and request for co-operation. There were allegations that some persons had to pay some money to get dal-roti but this charge was denied by the jail officials. They said we allow almost all people coming to us with a request to partake of food. The sources, however said sifarish by some influential person definitely helped. |
is still a VIP Ludhiana, April 4 When the junior Badal visited Ludhiana on Wednesday, he was accorded the same treatment he used to more than a year ago. The heavy police escort with a pilot vehicle at the front followed by a number of police personnel that would make him look more conspicuous and more important than a Rajya Sabha member. And during his overnight stay in the town at the residence of one of his school time friends who resides in Gurdev Nagar area, the police arrangements were adequately proportionate to what an heir apparent may deserve to get. It is not just the arrangements for the stately stay of the heir apparent, It is learnt that some officers in the local police and the administration also met the junior Badal at the Gurdev Nagar residence of his friend late last night. Mr Badal left Ludhiana on Thursday in the morning with full honours, otherwise reserved for the VVIPs. Heavy contingent of the police was deployed in the Gurdev Nagar area, around the house of his friend for the full night, turning the street into a fortress. But after all that is the importance of being Sukhbir Badal, heir apparent to the Akali throne. The junior Badal, who used to be a frequent visitor to Ludhiana during the Chief Ministership of his father, had not come here for quite some time after Mr Badal lost power. It was after a long gap that he visited Ludhiana and stayed for the night here in the city. He met a number of party workers and some officials also. |
In need of new lease of life Ludhiana, April 4 Dr Yashpal Singh, who is treating Maya at present at Christian Medical College and Hospital (CMCH) said, She has a space-occupying lesion of the brain (tuberculoma) which is increasing in size in spite of a year-long treatment. We need to perform a surgery, excision biopsy, for a further diagnosis and for deciding on further management. The estimated cost of the surgery is Rs 30,000 approximately. Kishan and Bhaku said, We are poor and do not have enough money even for food. We cannot afford to treat Maya. God is great, He will do something All those who wish to help Maya can contact the Department of Neurology, CMCH, Ludhiana. All cheques should be made in favour of Christian Medical College and Hospital with treatment of Maya written on the back.
Rally against VAT Ludhiana, April 4 Addressing the protesters at the Clock Tower here, Mr Pawan Sharma and Mr Krishan Sharma, secretary-general and district president of the unit, said they were against the imposition of VAT in the state and would protest against the move by organising strikes and mobilising the business community in the state. They said various states had openly opposed the move and taking a cue from the traders elsewhere, they would also do its utmost to stall the move which was not in the interests of either the businessmen or the common man. Given the past experiences of their community, the move would only lead to large scale surveys and raids, a situation which would be exploited by the IT authorities, he pointed out. They also added that even small time merchants would have to employ accountants which was not possible in the times of a major slump on the market.
A clarification The Punjab and Sind Bank has refuted allegations that its staff dispensed a wad short of currency notes as had been alleged by a local businessman on Thursday. Denying the charges against the bank, Mr Jatinder Pal Singh, Senior Manager, said the businessman, Mr Parveen Jain of Ostro Auto Industry, was neither a customer of his bank nor had he received any payment from the Master Tara Singh College branch of the bank. Ludhiana Tribune had published a story Count your cash before leaving counter on Friday. He said the bank was strictly adhering to the RBI instructions regarding stitching and dispensing of the currency notes. Since the branch of the bank did not have a note counting machine, every packet was counted and signed by two officials of the bank. The wad of notes in question could have passed several hands before it reached Mr Jain and the bank could not be blamed for the shortage of notes, he said.
Tractor company cheats farmers Ludhiana, April 4 The KKU leaders, who met the owners of the company, said at first the company agreed to return the amount, but then went back on its word. The leaders have urged the SSP to take action against the erring company. Narrating another incident, the KKU leaders told the SSP that the police had taken away Jagjit Singh on the complaint of Palwinder Singh, a commission agent of Talwandi Rai. The representatives of the KKU demanded immediate release of Jagjit Singh.

LeBron James credits pee-wee coach for lefty layup
MAY 23, 2013 8:27p ET
James wasn't too happy about that.
"He used to cry about it," said Frank Walker, James' coach when he was growing up in Akron, Ohio . "He used to say, 'I can't do it.' But I told him that you can't play this game without using both hands. I told him, 'You're going to need a left-handed layup one of these days.'"
Well, the Miami star needed it in Wednesday's Game 1 of the Eastern Conference finals against Indiana . His left-handed layup at the buzzer gave the Heat a 103-102 overtime win
It was the second time James has won a game this season with a last-ditch left-handed layup. The Heat beat Orlando 97-96 on March 6 when James put one in with 3.2 seconds left.
"I give credit to my Little League coach, Frank Walker Sr.," James said after that game about Walker's lessons 20 years ago.
After Wednesday's dramatic win, James looked back. He said, "I've been doing that since I was 8 years old."
Then following Thursday's practice, James again mentioned Walker .
"Frank Walker, my Little League basketball coach, taught me how to make a left-handed layup," James said. "He wouldn't let me dribble the ball until I got the right steps down and the right (form) to make a left-handed layup consistently. And so we used to do it before practice every day and during practice, and he always told me, 'You know, you'll be a much better player if you learn how to make shots with both hands.'"
Asked Thursday about all the attention he's been getting lately for his role in James' development, Walker laughed.
"Well, I told him he would need it," Walker said. "But I'm very proud at what he's done."
So what were some of the secrets in Walker teaching James how to use his left hand so well?
"We used to have one drill where you had to put your right hand in your pocket and dribble with your left hand and another where you had to put your right hand behind your back and dribble," Walker said. "Then we had a chase-down drill. You would have to go in for a left-handed layup and another player was chasing you so you wouldn't learn to be bothered by that."
It worked. Walker said James' opposite hand is so good now that "you'd think he were left-handed.''
Through the years, James has continued to thank Walker for teaching him how to use that hand so effectively. When James played for Cleveland from 2003-10, Walker regularly made the 45-minute drive from Akron for Cavaliers home games.
"If he made a move and he used his left hand, I'd be sitting courtside and he'd just kind of give me a look," Walker said.
Now that James is playing in Miami , Walker can't be found courtside. But James still can offer his thanks whenever he makes a big left-handed shot.

stance and carving
I've been snowboarding for a while and a couple years ago I decided to change up my stance from a pretty forward 30/15 to a duck stance to work make switch easier.
I still cannot for the life of me carve anywhere near as well as I did before and when trying to make a sharper/rounder heelside carve, I end up skidding. I've messed around with my stance a little bit and it seems like no matter the angle, if it's duck I have issues, if it's forward it's fine. Are there any major differences or quick tips for carving in a duck vs forward stance? Last edited by unsunken; 12-23-2013 at 03:18 PM. |

i find that gradually changing the angles of your bindings works best. start by changing it 3-6 degrees, going for a ride to get comfortable then adjusting 3-6 degrees again until u gradually feel more comfortable with a ducked stance. a little more time consuming but it works for me

With a duck stance, there will be some tweaking to your technique required and it will take a little time to get it dialed in. A major difference is in the body movements you use to maintain high edge angles. For good angulation, its all in the ankles. The idea is to keep your weight over the board, not nearly as much leaning toward the inside of the turn.
Something that is super important with a duck stance is good forward-aft movements. You want to deliberately shift your hips and upper body toward the nose at turn initiation then start shifting your hips and upper body aft as you progress through your turn. The final half of your turn should see you with considerably more weight on your rear foot. What this does for you is it transitions your weight (therefore edge hold) along the board from tip to tail to correspond to the point where your sidecut experiences the most lateral force toward the outside of the turn as you progress through the turn. Where you will really notice performance increase most with good fore-aft technique is in your heelside carves. Timing your fore-aft movements with your flexion-extension movements gives you even better board performance. Remember, for more dynamic carving, you want to use your ankles, knees and hips to use angulation to maintain edge angle and less leaning into the turn (inclination). With your forward stance, its more of a rolling of the ankle and driving your knees. This method does not effectively work with a duck stance so you must use different body movements to achieve the same board performance. |

Interesting thread... and a great explanation from Outlander...thanks mate.
So, I have been riding a directional board (Arbor Abacus) for about 5 years and have my stance setup very "forward facing" (sorry, don't know my exact numbers) and set back for the pow shreddage. Being what it is - and how I have set it up - it's a bit crap to try switch. I've just bought a twin shape board (Rossi Jibsaw) partly because I want to progress my switch riding. I'm guessing I'll want to go "The Full Duck" to make this easier for me... so, my questions are: do may people have different stance setups for their different boards, or do most people pick one and roll it out across their many boards? Do people find it hard to chop and change their stances? etc... My next session is 5 weeks in beautiful Nelson. I. Cannot. Wait. (although some more dumpage west coast would be nice...c'mon Ullr! etc..) |

I run full duck 15/-15 on my twin playful/park board. On my slightly offset do it all board I run 15/-8, and on the big directional pow stick/all mountain slayer I run 15/8. So yes, my stance definitely changes based on what I'm doing for the day.

Any progress?
One big difference for duck stance carving is the use of rotation. I've seen that recommended quite a bit and it simply doesn't work (well) for duck stance carving. When you rotate your hips into the turn or move your back knee forward, you lower the edge angle at the back of the board and the tail will want to go a larger radius than the tip and wash out. Keep your hips aligned with the board and the back knee back. What may also be helpful is adjusting the bindings to have a bit more forward lean on the back foot. |

I haven't been enjoying AAA titles as much, recommendations?

KillerTruffle posted... I think part of the problem is AAA games are pretty much 90% production value and very little fun. Now and then a decent AAA game will come out, but so much money is invested into those games, studios/publishers are willing to take very few risks with them. Smaller, lower-budget indie titles are free to basically do whatever they want, so you get a lot more unique stuff out of them. But then why do I eagerly await the sequel to warband? It's just a rehash.... of a rehash. It must piss off these AAA developers when indie and small studio games get better reviews. --- He who stumbles around in darkness with a stick is blind. But he who... sticks out in darkness... is... fluorescent! - Brother Silence | |
Obviously lots of people still play the AAA games - they're making money, or they'd stop making them. But a lot of us do get tired of the same old s*** with a new facelift every few months. I understand how business works, but it would still be pretty cool if there was a publisher out there willing to push the envelope a bit more. At least we do have easy access to indie games that give us plenty of variety now. --- "How do I get rid of a Trojan Horse?" -Sailor_Kakashi "Leave it outside the gates of Troy overnight." -Davel23 | |
banished looks interesting if your into city building | |
The problem with AAA is that they're made to appeal to the widest market possible. If you remember the older days of gaming, getting 200k or 500k sales was Blockbuster hit territory. Now they consider it a failure if it doesn't sell 6 million units. I don't think that *I* have changed so much that AAA games are just not as fun because Occasionally I still find one I can enjoy. It's the AAA game industry that has changed. Indie game studios can take risks because for them, 100k sales is still a huge deal. Medium sized devs can get their gaming budgets from kickstarter and focus on what a smaller group of fans want. It's just a matter of how niche your favorite genre is (according to the AAA game industry). --- http://raptr.com/badge/arleas/uc.png http://www.speedtest.net/result/3201564081.png | |
fatboy44 posted... In the past couple years these are the games I've enjoyed most: >I haven't been enjoying AAA titles as much. Gee, I wonder why? | |
SinisterSlay posted... Maybe as we get older we dislike AAA games? That's sort of been my experience. --- http://penguinpetes.com/gallery/MyWalls/pigeon_chess.png | |
Its just what happens when you get older I think. You have less time so you don't want to waste it with crap. Most of the AAA games I have bought in the last few years are remakes or sequals to series I already like, MAss Effects, Tomb Raiders etc. And as others of said, a lot of the AA games don't really offer anything new. Same old stuff with prettier graphics. I think Im just pickier in general with my games now. Even something the new Thief game tahts coming out, I have 0 interest in picking it up. It'll probably be something I end up buying 2 years down the line when its 5 bucks on steam | |
Freespace 2. Get the base game from GOG, and the open source expansions from Hard Light Productions. Much better game than a lot of AAA releases these days. --- Intel Core i7 2600k | XFX Radeon HD 7950 | MSI P67A-G45 | Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 16GB | Crucial M4 128GB | WD Cavair Black 1TB | OCZ Fatal1ty 750W | |
SinisterSlay posted... Maybe as we get older we dislike AAA games? Not so much AAA games, but the same thing over and over again. AAA devs are too afraid to take risks these days, so they often churn out the same ol' tired shooter or WRPG formula. TC isn't really tired of AAA games, just the same old genres in general. I suggest finding a good indie game. --- Future Billionaire |

I have owned five Goldens now with Abby who is 13 weeks old. I got Abby from Asoro's, she is my first from Illene. I have to say even though I have only had her a few weeks I am really impressed with her dogs. I am also in touch with two other owners from the same litter and they are impressed with their new dogs as well. They are located in Northen Mi in Kalkaska which is just west of Traverse City on M 72. www.asorosgoldens.com Mike

Hey gang, I'm trying to decide on the possible purchase of a GoPro camera for self filming a bit of this years safari. Does anyone have experience with a GoPro? Are they fairly easy to use? Download and edit? Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
Mine is coming along again. I did not use it enough last time. They are straight forward to use. Use it a bunch before you go so you do not have to think in the field. If it is not second nature, you will not want to use it. It becomes a distraction and an annoyance (like all equipment). I would take extra memory cards along instead of trying to download every video. It is somewhat time consuming. It is USB, not firewire (IEEE). Edit at home unless you are doing it for business purposes and need particular footage on the storey board. If the critters are up close you will get some decent footage. If they are rifle distance away you see little dots. (No zoom.) It helps tell the story, but it will not be the whole story. For production you'll need other cameras. For personal memories of the stalk up on a critter, they are perfect.
i had one mounted on my bow and the hero 3 has really really good quality ( i think ). they are very easy to use and you need to have a very little knowledge to download and edit but basically easy. if you plan to mount it on your rifle or bow it's the best camera you can get but then if someone else will film you better get a real camera with zoom.
Yeah, this will be for fun shots, etc. I have a cameraman coming along to make me look even more studly!
Your the Man! Mr Studly DoRight. :laughing: Me being ElCheapo I'm handing my PH my Nikon coolpics Camera and saying here film this. That'll have to get it.
Check this video out..short but shows different mounting capabilities and audio from pretty extreme scenarios. We use them quite a bit for work I think it woul be sweet to capture a hunt!
New GoPro HD HERO3 Video Camera Camcorder - Black Edition 1080P WiFi CHDHX-301 You talked me in to it just bought one. To Cool!
I personally use a contour GPS camera mounted to the side of my hat. Contour has Bluetooth and I can watch a live feed on my phone or iPad to make sure everything is straight and pointed in the correct direction. My wife can also hold the phone while on a stalk and see what I see . I use it for pheasant hunting and snowmobiling also. I love my contour. When I edit the video back home the GPS model I have lets me see where I was. I have had mine in Africa once before and it will be with me in July for sure on the next trip. I know someday there will be a way to get the videos into a shutterfly book along with my pictures.
Gemsbok POV long double rifle iron sights shot, first person perspective GoPro camera Kalahari Gemsbok hunt, after two solid days of following tracks and getting busted, stretched the Merkel .375 H&H's legs over the irons on this shot and dropped a nice bull. Yes, it is indeed the Kalahari despite all the green, the seasonal rains had arrived just prior and were extremely plentiful. We couldn't see what happened with the Gemsbok at range as the shot rang, fortune was smiling and he lay where he was shot.
A few things I have learned with mine. -Get extra batteries, you will run out of juice before you run out of memory. I am getting about an hour of filming on 1080. A 64 GB card gives about 4 hours worth of storage if I remember correctly. -Use the skelotonized housing if you want good sound. -The LCD touch screen that mounts on the back is worth it's weight in gold. It allows you to use the narrow view more often which makes it easier to get a centered shot and doesn't make things look like they are a million miles away. -Go Pro has downloadable software that lets you convert the file and get rid of the fish eye effect. It has some limited editing capabilities as well. Note that it works best to download the file onto your computer and convert it from there. When I try to convert it directly off of the camera it freezes my computer up solid. -If you want to slow down a scene try filming it in 720 at 120 fps. You still get high quality and decent frame rates when you slow it down. I'm sure other folks with more camera experience can give better tips but those are a few I have learned so far. Cheers, -John

Toews raising his game at Olympics
Updated: February 26, 2010, 8:37 AM ET
Pierre LeBrun | ESPN.com
VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- It was a warm June evening in Toronto almost two years ago on the eve of the NHL awards, and Jonathan Toews was musing about what a blast his first NHL season had been.
We remember suggesting to the young Chicago Blackhawks star that his stellar rookie season had no doubt put him on the radar for the 2010 Canadian Olympic team. His eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.
"Do you really think so?" Toews then asked.

LIMA — Standing in a hot trucking company warehouse where blue-collar workers help the company thrive, Ohio Gov. John Kasich told 250 people the state is back on the right path.
Most of the 350,000 people who lost private sector jobs four years ago are working and the $8 billion deficit has been erased, replaced with a $1.5 billion surplus, Kasich said.
"We didn't need to raises taxes to do it," Kasich said.
Instead, Kasich and Ohio Republicans created a business-friendly environment in Ohio that is conducive for job growth, he said.
People no longer have to return home to their families and say they lost their jobs, he said.
"Work is beyond what money you earn. It's really a sense of dignity," Kasich said.
Kasich, who is known for speaking his mind, spoke during a campaign rally Friday at Wannemacher Total Logistics on Hanthorn Road.
The Republican said the 10 years he spent in the private sector after leaving Congress taught him some valuable lessons. He not only used those lessons to get elected last time but to turn the state around, he said.
"I don't know if most people believed in what I said. I think they thought it was just the rhetoric of another person running for office," he said.
He said there was no magic in turning the state around, setting up an environment for small businesses which he called the economic engine of growth.
"People make this out to be very complicated. It's all really very simple," he said.
The state has put $2.5 billion toward road construction to improve on one of the state's most valuable infrastructures. Although that means a lot of construction and orange barrels, he urged people to be patient when hitting the highways.
He said the state is investing in its bread-and-butter businesses — agriculture and manufacturing — but also is looking ahead to developing energy to lead the way toward energy independence.
He promised to continue the push for vocational training as early as seventh grade and to put more money into the schools to help students get a better education and be more prepared for college and the workforce.
Kasich said mental illness and drugs, especially heroin, is a serious concern in Ohio, as it is across the country. But Ohio is putting money toward programs that deal with those problems.
"We now have the resources to begin to help those people get the treatment and to lead a normal life," he said.
But Kasich said it was the people, not the government, who need to keep change happening and to take back their communities. He said people should never wait for government to solve the problems.
People need to go to schools to serve as mentors and be positive role models for struggling students, where a little encouragement and help can go a long way, he said.
"We can rejuvenate America," he said. "How about joining me? We'll work together. We'll get it done. We will build a stronger Ohio and a stronger America. It's more than a political campaign. It's a movement."
