Politics of inaction
of abating, the agitation in Haryana by the Jats demanding reservation is taking a turn for the worse. Incidents of arson and violence continue. The leaders of the agitators openly say that the government has just seen a glimpse of a little disorder and unrest in the state. The message is clear and ominous: much more is to follow. The plan is to cut supplies to the national capital and also to disrupt the Commonwealth Games if their demands are not met. What is all the more unfortunate is that the ham-handed manner in which the government reacted to the agitation has caused a caste divide. A murder case has been registered against former Hisar SP Subhash Yadav for the death of a youth in police firing while the easily identifiable agitators roam free. There is a large section which believes that Yadav was singled out because he, acting under Supreme Court orders, had arrested 130 persons, almost all of them from the Jat community, for the Mirchpur violence where two Dalits were burnt alive by a Jat mob. No wonder, uncomfortable questions are being asked about the governments inaction against those responsible for this weeks violent incidents. Even the Punjab and Haryana High Court has directed the state to inform it as to what action is being taken against the rioters as many of them are clearly identifiable from photographs in newspapers as well as from TV footage. It was only on Friday that cases were registered against some agitators. The government has given the unfortunate impression of being partisan. It has not taken action against any rioter but awarded compensation to the kin of the deceased. A rioter is a rioter, whatever the cause he represents. The Haryana government owes a responsibility to those who lost their property due to the agitation. It had come in for strong criticism for being mild towards the majority community during the Mirchpur violence. It must not make the same mistake again.
Why loans get costlier
RBIs hikes in the repo and reverse repo rates will lead to higher interest rates on home, car and education loans. Why has the RBI done this? Why raise the cost of borrowings for individuals and companies? If more people take home and car loans, it means more demand for housing and automobiles, and higher growth for companies engaged in these sectors. If companies get cheaper loans, they undertake expansion and/or new projects, which means generating more employment. The overall industrial growth picks up and the economy attracts more domestic and foreign investment. Then why is the RBI playing a spoilsport? The RBIs sole purpose is to rein in price rise. Inflation based on the wholesale prices grew at 8.5 per cent in August and that is quite high. Food inflation at 15.10 per cent for the week ending September 4 is still higher. The central bank thinks since there is too much money supply in the system, it fuels demand for goods, which, in turn, leads to price rise. High prices particularly hit the poor and are politically incorrect. However, it is the high prices of food items that make life difficult for the poor and these are not driven by money supply. If the supply of food items is increased through imports and better management of the distribution system in the short term and by raising farm productivity in the long term then food inflation can come down without hurting growth. The RBI can indeed bring down the prices of manufactured products by tightening money supply and squeezing demand. Another reason for the apex bank draining liquidity is that in 2008 the industry was extended a financial stimulus in the shape of cheaper loans and tax breaks to cope with recession. Now that recovery has begun and growth is robust, it is time to roll back the stimulus and ease the governments financial burden. |
Not so sweet
benefits of honey have been driven home since times immemorial. That the honey traditionally meant to be an elixir could contain antibiotics, including the banned chloramphenicol, not only comes as a big shock but also raises questions over the food and safety regulations prevalent in the country. A Centre for Science and Environment exposé has come out with damning reports of presence of antibiotics in honey available in the market. The CSE, an NGO that had previously taken on powerful cola manufacturing companies and highlighted the presence of pesticide residue in cola drinks, has tested nearly 12 brands of honey and found six harmful antibiotics in 11 samples. The report indicts both domestically produced honey as well as the imported one. This is not the first time that doubts have been raised over the quality of honey available in India. Earlier, Punjabs honey industry had been stung by antibiotics. Doraha-based International Institute of Beekeepers and Agro Enterprises had warned that 90 per cent export samples were laced with antibiotics and lead. Today it seems ironical that while honey exported to other countries is being tested for antibiotics, both the domestically produced and imported honey escapes regulations. Actually, the presence of antibiotics in honey, be it for the domestic market or exports, cannot be taken lightly. Even in small doses, its repeated consumption can lead to several health problems. Oxytetracycline, one of the antibiotics found by the CSE, can cause blood-related disorders. Honey laced with antibiotics can lead to antibiotics resistance. While many of the honey manufacturing companies have refuted the allegations, a country whose health care system and food and safety regulations (especially for the domestic market) leave much to be desired cannot sit smug. Health hazards, whether they come in the form of blatant adulteration or are a fallout of boosting production as in the case of honey, milk or vegetables, need to be probed. Those responsible, both the beekeepers and the foreign companies who often dump unhealthy products in India, need to be taken to task if found violating health norms. |
Even quarrels with ones husband are preferable to the ennui of a solitary existence. |
The Obama visit BRISK India-America talks are in progress to prepare the ground for President Barack Obamas first official visit to this country in early November. Six months ago during a strategic dialogue between the two countries at the level of foreign ministers Washington had chosen to be extraordinarily warm to the India and its Foreign Minister, S. M. Krishna. Brushing aside protocol, Mr. Obama had driven from the White House to the state department to join Hillary Clintons reception in Mr Krishnas honour. With his trademark oratory he had declared then that during his visit to New Delhi he would be making history. However, huge changes in the situation, internal and external, since then have cast doubts whether the US Presidents rhetorical flourish can be matched by reality. This should explain the accentuation of efforts by both sides to see to it that the visit is as productive and useful as possible. Foreign Secretary Nirupma Raos visit to Washington this week will be followed by that of National Security Adviser Shivshankar Menon. In October the US Undersecretary of State William Burns will arrive in New Delhi. What the veteran diplomats are struggling against is the combination of circumstances that have constricted Mr Obamas capacity to deliver on his promise. The most important of these is the domestic challenge to him. The US economy hasnt improved as much as he had claimed. On the contrary, unemployment is higher than during the recession. No wonder the Presidents job ratings have plummeted from 60 to 40 per cent. Sadly, during the recently surcharged atmosphere, some Americans started calling him a Muslim President. On top of it he faces a very hard election to the House of Representatives and a third of the Senate in November almost immediately after returning from India. The general forecast in the US is that the Democrats will lose at least one House, if not both. If so, this would be a heavy setback to Mr Obama, circumscribing his elbowroom in the conduct of international relations. Strangely, this is already working more to the disadvantage of India than any other country. Look at the restrictions that the US has placed on the outsourcing of services such as IT operations and call offices to this country. The vehemence with which the American side, including Mr. Obama himself, has defended this action is jarring. Commerce Minister Anand Sharma has already protested against this regressive resort to protectionism. What adds to the hurt is that no comparable restrictions on China have even been thought of. Ironically, China has an annual trade surplus with the US of more than $200 billion, and the Chinese have flatly refused Americas repeated requests for a revaluation of their currency. The Indian IT industrys earnings from the US are no more than $50 billion. More importantly, the US is supposed to be the global leader of a free market economy. If it resorts to protectionism, why wouldnt other countries? Of course, protectionism alone is not the issue. It is intertwined with the vexed question of technology transfer. The mere dropping of some Indian entities from Americas entity list is not enough. Nor is there any point in saying that processes for issuing licences to Indian firms have been accelerated. The point is that after the Indo-US nuclear deal there is no reason to treat this country like those whose nuclear activities are under watch. For its part, the American side has been unhappy with the contents of the recently enacted Nuclear Liability Act though they have expressed themselves in relatively low key. Even so, India had told the US that after Bhopal no Indian government or legislature would accept its demand for the exemption of American suppliers from all Indian laws. The suppliers, really Japanese-owned, cannot be indifferent to investment opportunities worth $15 billion. The mother of all problems, however, is the imbalance in the triangular relationship between India, the US and China. The Prime Ministers off-the-record remarks, which were published anyhow, underscore how concerned India is over Chinas escalating activities against this country and overly in support of Pakistan, especially those focussed on Kashmir. The presence of the PLA in the Gilgit-Baltistan region of Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, next door to Xingjiang, may be only 2,000, not 7,000 as reported. They may not be combat troops but soldiers of the Construction Corps. But the grave implications of their deployment are obvious. Pakistans ability to hold on this much-suppressed and rebellious region is becoming more and more doubtful. The situation is rather like it was in several areas of Myanmar that the Chinese have virtually taken over. The history might repeat itself. In any case, Pakistan, much beholden to China, is happy to be its surrogate in keeping India confined to South Asia so that it does not become Chinas rival on the wider Asian scene. In this respect the US has regrettably been woefully wanting. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton did warn China about its strident maritime claims in the South China Sea that are naturally contested by its Southeast Asian neighbours. But neither she nor any other American dignitary has ever said a word about what China or Pakistan or both together are doing to undermine India. In relation to Pakistan the US attitude is even more puzzling. Whatever its compulsions in Afghanistan, the US is fully aware of Pakistans double-dealing and duplicity vis-à-vis the fight against terror. Yet, Washington continues to court the Pakistan army, especially its chief, General Ashaque Kiyani. Furthermore, the US praises the enormous constructive and humanitarian work this country is doing in Afghanistan even though it is denied transit facilities to Kabul. At the same time, Washington remains receptive to Pakistani clamour for curtailing the Indian presence in the Afghan land. There is a curious objection even to the Indian consulates in Jalalaabad and Kandahar. To be sure, American leaders, from the President down, do speak of India as their indispensable partner in promoting democracy, peace and stability in the region, Asia and the world. But, unfortunately, actions speak louder than words. India knows and those Indians who dont ought to know that good and close relations with the US are in the best interests of both. All the more reason, therefore, that China and Pak-Af should be on the top of the agenda during the Obama visit, and Indian concerns should be voiced in a friendly and firm manner. Nothing can be more self-defeating than slurring over unpleasant
realities. |
Grounded feet
waiting at the Bangalore airport for a flight to Delhi, I saw a middle-aged man walk to the water cooler in his bare feet. I envied him the informality of being able to kick off his shoes. But later, when we queued up for embarkation, I was horrified to see that he still wasnt wearing shoes he had obviously forgotten to put them on again. But when I went up to remind him, he only smiled and said; I never wear shoes. We found ourselves sitting next to each other. He told me that years ago, when he was not financially well off, he had gone to buy a pair of shoes and found that he was seven rupees short. Some strong impulse made him kick off his tattered shoes and vow never to wear shoes again. Our acquaintanceship survived for many years and I was amazed at the spread of his business and the wealth and power he commanded. And yet his feet were always bare whether the pavements were sizzling at 48 or freezing at minus 20. He said it was to ensure that in spite of all his material success and his wealth, he would never forget the time when he did not have enough money to buy a pair of shoes. When I think of him, I am reminded of a story in a text book, while at school. The Shah of Persia, while out hunting, loses his way, and finds shelter and warmth in a shepherds hut. He is impressed by the earthy wisdom of his host and decides to appoint him as his wazir. The new wazir travels all over the kingdom to assess the peoples problems, always carrying a big trunk with him. His efforts bear fruit and he is a great success at his job. This draws upon his head the bitter jealousy of the older courtiers. They launch a slander campaign accusing him of corruption and say that he has amassed a great store of diamonds and rubies which he is loath to leave out of his sight. He carries this in his trunk. The Shah, at first, ignores these rumours but when he sees that the wazir does, indeed, never let the trunk out of his sight, his suspicions too are aroused. He commands the wazir to open the trunk and show him what is in it. The wazir opens the box and draws out the long sheep-skin coat that he used to wear to keep the cold of winter at bay. I never let this coat out of my sight so that in all the glamour and wealth of my position, I always remember that I am only a shepherd. The world would be a much happier place if all of us who come from humble origins always kept a symbol of these beginnings. Then in the midst of all the wealth and fame that life might gift us, our feet would remain firmly grounded.n
It's about time we stopped holding women responsible for crimes committed against them.
What they need is a fair trial, not a postmortem of their behaviour
Crime, especially crime that can lead to the death of someone, needs to be punished severely. Our society really believes in this and adheres to it vehemently. But this universal belief seems to take a strange twist when it comes to crimes against women. If it is a high profile case, our society follows it religiously. We all try and look for answers and try to ascribe the blame somewhere or the other, without even knowing the facts of the matter or its essence. Something similar seems to have happened to the Nadia Torrado case in Goa, the Viveka Babaji case in Mumbai, the Jessica Lal case in the past and to mostly all the cases where women have died. The fact of the matter is that a girl has died and if anyone has committed a crime, it should be duly punished. But the paraphernalia of social norms that we all carry does not let the issue remain so simple. Whenever a woman is involved in a socially reprehensible situation, a crime done against her acquires a totally different connotation. While the accused is hounded before being proven guilty, so is the victim the woman; and her background, her character, her demeanour, her social status, her past relationships, everything is brought out and published in newspapers and splashed on TV. The ancient barbaric social evil of a witch-hunt does not seem to leave us. We love to ascribe blame, and we love to do it on women, especially if we can link the matter to her sexuality. It gives us all a sense of complacency that we are not ourselves in that situation and someone else is bearing the brunt of transgressing social, moral and patriarchal boundaries. All over Europe in the middle ages and as recent as the nineteenth century, women who digressed from the beaten track, or did something socially amoral, or were educated or knew a lot about natural medicines or were extremely beautiful or had tremendous property or were too old to be productive in anyway were branded as witches and burnt in the town's marketplace where the crowd cheered on in the most inhuman and barbaric way. Women were often tortured to exorcise the evil in them and then killed for crimes that were uncertain, dubious and never proved. In India too, this practice still goes on in many villages and women are hounded by society such that they are driven out of their homes or killed. In bigger, so-called educated and aware cities, we do not commit such barbaric acts. We do not kill. We take the dead and exhume them again and again. We bring out every minute juicy detail of their lives and we devote a great deal of social talk and gossip to it. Rather authoritatively, we claim that the woman was of low character or she was using her femininity or that she was of a dubious background. We love to hear how many affairs she had or how vain she was or how she was using the man. Well, while she was alive, none of us dared to air our moral considerations, when the deed was happening right before our eyes. But once dead, we love to flog the carcass. The question that arises is why do we do that? Society has strange ways of dealing with things that it finds problematic to put into slots. A woman who dies in a promiscuous relationship or is raped or murdered or commits suicide is seen as something which was not supposed to happen in a civilised, moral and ethical society. So we need to ascribe blame for the unfortunate incident on someone. And who could be better than the woman herself? Very self righteously, we conduct a social trial, where we are all jurors and come to a conclusion that the woman was responsible for the crime done against her. It is easier for us that way because it is extremely difficult to question a whole society which drove a woman to her death. Facing that kind of stark reality is not what most of us have the courage for. We cannot think that we all as a society have a role to play if a young woman is killed or raped or kills herself. We want to sit in our comfortable smugness and not question our existing socio-cultural institutions, merely because we do not have the courage to. When crimes happen all too often, especially crimes against women, it is because of the way our society has evolved and hence we all have to bear a collective responsibility for it. The particular victim or crime is just a symptom of the deep-rooted disease which is rampant in our society. Suppressing a symptom or finding a scapegoat to pile the blame upon is not going to cure the disease. We have to get at the root of it. For this, society as a whole has to march towards a social change, for which we need proper legislation, implementation of laws, empowerment of women and change in social attitudes towards women. All this is a Herculean task and will obviously occur over a long period of time. But the important point, and what we can start from today itself, is to stop turning the victim into a criminal. Whenever a crime is done against a woman, it simply needs to be punished like any other crime, without harping upon the woman's background or her past life or attitudes or morality. The trial is not about her character, it is about her death. Be it the Scarlet Keeling case or the German minor rape case or the Nadia case or those innumerable unfortunate cases, where women have made wrong choices, need to be viewed objectively and if the crime is proven, it should be punished without a social and media trial of the victim herself. It is foolish to proclaim that the woman invited it. No one invites assault, rape or murder. There is a distinct difference between committing a socially unacceptable deed and committing a punishable crime. We cannot put both on a par and club the victim with the criminal. If we keep ascribing blame on women for crimes done against women themselves, the criminal-minded men who commit such crimes would be emboldened and crimes would continue to happen. And with what faith can a victimised woman go to society, the police or the legal system when she knows that approaching any of these is going to merely expose her to further ignominy and trauma? That is the reason most of the time women do not even report a crime done against them. Moreover, let us for a moment stop judging these women, most of them very young, some of them even kids, naïve and perhaps misdirected. Isn't it more human to empathise than to judge? And who are we to judge after all?
put it simply, gender stereotypes require a person to act and dress according to gender. In India more often than not gender stereotyping works against women. It not only blocks her development but also indirectly puts her in the dock. It is as if all social norms hinge on her behaviour and character. This is exactly what this cross-section of people feel. " So strong is the notion of gender bias that the onus that the crime is not committed against a woman too rests on her. She is expected to ensure her safety and is somehow held responsible for the behaviour of men. The convoluted mindset is perceptible right from the taxiwallahs to the high and mighty. Who can forget the statement of Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit, herself a woman, that girls shouldn't move out alone at night." "Stereotypes harm the interests of not only women but all weaker sections of society like Dalits. In case of women the bias runs deeper the moment she is seen as asserting her right she is frowned upon. At times I am forced to tell women to act and dress in a conservative way for their liberal and independent image can actually prejudice the judgement against them." "Undoubtedly we run down women more than necessary. As against men women don't get an opportunity for a fair trial. When it comes to social privileges, we have different yardsticks for the fair sex. It's not men alone who nurse gender prejudices. Even women don't give other women a fair chance." Amrit
Brar, AIG (Crime), Punjab "No doubt gender stereotyping exists and works in favour of men and to the detriment of women. She is expected to dress modestly and behave in a particular fashion. Over the years gender stereotyping has decreased but will continue till women are fully empowered financially, politically and intellectually." "Stereotypes of any type are the worst way of viewing things and reinforce an escapist perspective. It helps us to find easy answers and solutions. Instead of addressing the real issues and concerns we try to find excuses to avoid the problem. Maintaining the status quo through gender stereotypes helps the male-dominated society that doesn't want to give women their rights." |

Pet Shop Boys, are an English electronic dance music duo, consisting of Neil Tennant, who provides main vocals, keyboards and occasionally guitar and Chris Lowe on keyboards and occasionally on vocals.
At the 2009 BRIT Awards, The Pet Shop Boys received an award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
Pet Shop Boys have sold more than 50 million records worldwide. Since 1986, they have had 39 Top 30 singles and 22 Top 10 hits in the UK, including four Number Ones: "West End Girls," "It's a Sin," "Always on My Mind," and "Heart."
The duo's latest album, entitled Yes, was released on 23 March 2009.
Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe met in an electronics shop on Kings Road in Chelsea, London in August 1981. Recognising a mutual interest in dance music, they began to work on material together, first in Tennant's flat in Chelsea and from 1982, in a small studio, in Camden Town. It was during these early years that several songs that would later appear on future albums were created, including "It's a Sin," "West End Girls," "Rent," and "Jealousy."
Starting out, the two called themselves West End, because of their love of London's West End, but later they came up with the name Pet Shop Boys, which derived from some friends who worked in a pet shop, in Ealing. They said that the new name "sounded like an English rap group."

Summary: Symmetric interaction of developing horizontal jet in a stratified fluid with a vertical cylinder S. I. Voropayev and Ya. D. Afanasyev Institute of Oceanolog3?,Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow 117218.Russia (Received 26 January 1993; accepted 11 January 1994) A self-similar planar vortex dipole, arising at the front of developing horizontal jet in a stratified fluid, collides with a small vertical cylinder. The primary vortical flow interacts with the secondary I vorticity generated at the boundary of the cylinder and finally a new dipole of reduced intensity forms. The estimates for the reduction of the flow momentum and alteration of the overall .... propagation velocity and length scales of the newly formed dipole are given. The evolution of the real flow is also explained mathematically. I. INTRODUCTION The problem of interaction of compact vortex structures with solid bodies is of central importance for various techni- cal and geophysical applications. Stern and whitehead' have considered the separation of a near-wall jet in a rotating fluid in the laboratory experiment.and numerically using a contour dynamics method. The separation of the impulsive vortex dipole, which moves along a vertical wall in a stratified fluid, was observed by Voropayev and ~fanas~ev.'In the latter

Bush's New Space Policy: To Infinity and Beyond
Via Secrecy News, we learn that the Bush administration just cranked out a new National Space Policy. Much of it's similar to Clinton-era policy, but there are some stellar exceptions. Like this one:
The previous policy prudently reserved judgment "on the feasibility and desirability of conducting further human exploration activities" beyond the International Space Station in Earth orbit.
But in a rhetorical flight of fancy, the new Bush policy purports to adopt a new national "objective of extending human presence across the solar system," no less.
Less fanciful, yet more predictable, is the insistence that "The United States will oppose the development of new legal regimes or other restrictions that seek to prohibit or limit U.S. access to or use of space." In other words, in space no one can hear you whine about international law.

Double-dick fuckin' d.p. vixens are sure to satisfy.
To these vixens, there's more to "2 scoops" than just raisins and bran flakes. It's two thick-cocked studs jamming their schlongs balls deep into every opening possible, and then dumping their "golden sunshine" into gaping mouths.
The scenes are repetitious (one girl gets ravaged by two guys before swallowing their double loads), but that doesn't detract from the raw, raunchy appeal of these d.p.-craving hot bodies. It's hardcore fun by wanton beauties that's sure to satisfy.

Good job, Wulfman!
Many people think Mass Effect 3's Multiplayer should have been more similar to Battlefield or Battlefront with large-scale epic battles and the like; Mass Effect: Unification does just that.
Looks pretty goood, but now, the real question:
Will it blend?
Nice Job dude! Whats the role of this weapon?
It's a heavy pistol. Packs the punch of an assault rifle in a compact form, excellent for agents who rely on biotic and tech powers. Think of it like a .44 magnum for its hitting power, magazine size and rate of fire.
The Alliance Adept gets it. I forget which other classes get it(if they do), Marth can remind us later.
As of now, only the Alliance Adept and one or two Shepard classes get the Phalanx.
Had to be them. Someone else might have gotten it wrong.
will it have the laser sight? as annoying as it is ingame, i actually love the laser sight... and sorry for the repost i forgot to sign in :p
I'm sorry but no. I would love to include it but Zero doesn't allow for convincing laser sights. We've tried, it looks bad in one way or another.
Sorry for the slow reply.
As with the M-4 Shuriken, the Phalanx desperately needed its model. So here it is. It took much longer to make than I anticipated, I started right after the M-4 Shuriken was finished. Without a wireframe of the original BioWare model, figuring out its shape was a challenge. At the end though, I got one of the best models and textures I ever made. So yeah, good stuff.

On Friday morning, schools in Tioga County, as well as area agencies, were already cancelling events and announcing early closures as the threats of heavy snow made their way into the area. By 3 p.m., the snow began to fall locally, with up to 12 inches anticipated by the end of the storm.
With most of the storm expected to become heavy towards the eastern and northern shores, Governor Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency Friday as the storm, named Nemo, was set to hit the New York City area Friday into Saturday with more than a foot of snow predicted.
"You've heard of Finding Nemo. It seems like Nemo has found us," Cuomo during a Friday afternoon briefing. "As everyone knows, we are expecting a severe winter storm, but nothing more than a severe winter storm."
Cuomo urged New Yorkers on Friday to take precautions, to go home and stay off the roads.
State Police closed Interstate 84 in New York on Friday to commercial traffic. Cuomo said most airports would close Friday at around 4 p.m., and JFK International Airport was set to close at around 6 p.m. More than 2,300 flights have been canceled.
"This is a serious, severe storm, a winter storm," Cuomo said. "But we just went through some really terrible storms with Hurricane Sandy. We are not anticipating anything like that. That's the good news. Severe winter storm, a lot of shoveling, stay indoors. If you can, get home."

Dan River profits evaporate into air
April 26, 2004
-- Home Textiles Today,Danville, Va. — Hammered by a trifecta of sharply falling sales, the cost of shutting down plants and laying off workers, and margins at the vanishing point; Dan River Inc. recorded a fourth quarter deficit of $32.8 million, swinging to a loss from a year-before profit of $4.2 million.
Sales at the diversified textiles supplier, which last month filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection from its creditors, tumbled 28.2 percent, to $110 million from $153 million the year before, a daunting shortfall of $43 million.
Hard hit was the company's core home fashions business, where sales fell 28.7 percent, to $79.9 million from $112.1 million last year. Operating profits in the big home business swung to a loss of $9.3 million from a year-before profit of $12.5 million.
Sales of apparel fabrics dropped 29.4 percent, to $22.1 million from $31.3 million, and the unit recorded a loss of $4.6 million, compared with a small year-before profit of $731,000. Sales in the engineered products unit declined 18.1 percent, to $8 million from $9.8 million, with the business posting a loss of $891,000, more than twice the year-before loss of $333,000.
Acting as a drag on the bottom line, in addition to plunging sales, was $15.4 million in costs tied to plant closing and layoffs. Adding one more layer of pressure, with its plants running slow as sales skidded down, margins thinned out to the point of disappearing. Average gross margin measured just 0.4 percent, compared with 19.5 percent the preceding year when the company's plants were running fuller.
Responding fast to falling sales, the company kept hacking away at costs, reducing expenses 4.5 percent from year-before levels, to $16.6 million from $17.4 million, generating a cash savings of $785,000. Measured as a percentage of falling sales, costs climbed 370 basis points, or 3.7 percentage points.
For all of 2003, Dan River recorded a loss of $153 million, compared with a year-ago loss of $13.3 million. In addition to $28 million in plant closing and termination costs, the company recorded a one-time charge of $91.7 million for the impairment of goodwill. Sales for all of last year fell 22.1 percent, to $477.4 million from $612.9 million, a drop of more than $135 million.

Vocalist Aziza A. Poggi has announced that she is "taking a break" from her singing duties in the Grand Rapids, Michigan progressive metal band DENDURA in order to "rejuvenate and evolve into other musical projects." She comments in a statement, "DENDURA has been at a standstill with our album on Killzone Records produced by Neil Kernon (NEVERMORE, QUEENSRŸCHE, DOKKEN). Due to the economy, Killzone, like many other record labels, simply doesn't have the funds to complete our album; therefore, we are not able finish the album within a reasonable time. We all have the determination to complete this album, but realistically it may be up to a few years. In the meantime, we are working more on a self-produced album.
"Since realizing the Neil Kernon album will take longer than any of us anticipated, I have decided that I need to focus on other singing opportunities and projects. With that said, I am taking a break from DENDURA for a while. I am not quitting the band, but I have to keep on a path that is healthy and positive for me. For the benefit of all involved, I need to take a step away and rejuvenate and evolve into other musical projects.. "This fall I will be performing my last show or two with DENDURA before I go on break and will be recording our self-produced album, as well. I have told the band that if they decided to still perform during my hiatus, they have my blessing hiring a session singer as long as I had a hand in the selection process. "On a positive note, I have joined the Grand Rapids Symphony Chorus and will be performing four shows with them this year including the music to 'The Lord of the Rings', and have also started a Middle Eastern fusion band with AL-ASDEKA members (in essence, I joined AL-ASDEKA). In addition, I am a classical singer vocal student in college. I also be doing some recording work for other bands and projects. "I hope you all understand and will continue to support DENDURA and the projects I am involved in. We will keep you posted on our album's release, show information, and other news as it comes in." DENDURA previously put out a self-released album, "New Life", and contributed a song to the award-winning film "Broken".

Re: What if the Soviets had always been allowed to fight in the pro ranks?
Side shows? They were on USA friday night fights and ESPN Thursday night fights with other fighters seen as rising prospects, plus Sports Illustrated article and cover on KO mag. so your side show theory is out the window. And Im interested, how exactly were they set up to fail? Non descript? Wasn't sergey Kobozov on the Russian national team? Didn't he beat John Ruiz and was seen as a potential star at cruiserweight? Sorry but your post has massive holes in it that Im exposing. Maybe you need to provide more facts and details and less conjecture.
Lol, people like me? You have 6 posts, you don't know a thing about me. And what is it I have defamed? I've pointed out facts, just like I've done with you. This isn't any kind of vehement crusade. It's called educating those who don't know what they're talking about (BadDog) and seek to rewrite the truth (you). Im happy more nations are allowed to compete professionally now. I don't judge fighters like many on here. As long as they're exciting I don't care what race, color, mationality or religeon they are, so stop being se presumtious.
sergey Kobozov [sic] is a good example because he wasn't one of the best Eastern Bloc fighters in his weight class as an amateur. He wasn't representing USSR in the major tournaments, and yet he was still able to do well as a pro, he beat john ruiz and came close to winning a world title.
So it is not hard to believe the the better amateurs may have been more successful had they turned pro.
Although some Eastern Bloc amateurs turned pro at the start of the 90s, not many of the better amateurs did.

April 25, 2015
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- State lawmakers will review the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation's files on allegations against District Attorney General Steve Bebb of Cleveland.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports the review comes after Tennessee Attorney General Robert Cooper on March 25 released a report finding no prosecutable evidence against Bebb.
Accusations against Bebb included prosecutorial misconduct, financial misconduct and lying under oath.
The attorney general's report did criticize Bebb's office for poor judgment, mismanagement and deficient record keeping.
Questions about Bebb's office were first raised in a series of articles in the Times Free Press last summer.
Lawmakers say that because of the public nature of the allegations and Cooper's report, they feel obligated to look at the TBI investigation themselves.
Bebb's 10th Judicial District includes Bradley, Polk, McMinn and Monroe counties.

Tim Berners-Lee, the inventor of the World Wide Web, said recently that he was losing sleep over the attempts by governments to tighten their control of or spy on the Internet. The computer scientist was speaking about moves in the United Kingdom and the United States to widen surveillance of public communications, but his comment echoes the growing concern among civil rights and free speech advocates in India about several provisions of the Information Technology Act and Information Technology (Intermediaries Guidelines) Rules 2011. At the heart of the issue in this country is the conflict between the constitutional right to freedom of speech and expression, and arbitrary, often political, actions that have begun seriously to erode it. Attacks on individuals and inconvenient opinion are being mounted — most recently in the Mamata Banerjee cartoons case — using Section 66 A of the amended IT Act, 2000. This provision makes it a crime to send, using a computer resource or a communication device, information known to be "false" with the aim of causing "annoyance, inconvenience, danger, obstruction, insult, injury, criminal intimidation, enmity, hatred or ill-will". Emails are also similarly covered, and the penalty for the offence is a jail term of up to three years. Used in conjunction with provisions of the Indian Penal Code, or separately, such vague definitions are offensive weapons in the censor's toolkit. Crucially, they far exceed the reasonable restrictions on free speech identified in Article 19 (2) of the Constitution.
In the way they are framed, some provisions of the IT Act and the 2009 amendments, such as Section 69 A (power to issue directions for blocking of access of any information through any computer resource) and 69 B (power to authorise monitoring and collection of traffic data or information) pose serious questions on India's commitment to open democracy. But newer rules covering intermediaries hosting content online are even more controversial and arbitrary. Several Members of Parliament have voiced their concern on these rules, under which anyone can demand the scrubbing of information online on flimsy grounds, and entities hosting the content must act in 36 hours. There is little surprise that a Rajya Sabha MP, P. Rajeeve, has moved a motion calling for the annulment of the intermediaries rules.

On Friday, Aug. 29, Mayor Richard J. Berry made history. In his YouTube communiqué debut, Berry became the first Albuquerque mayor to veto an election amendment. According to Berry's statement, R-14-91 contained proposals he couldn't "in good conscience" allow Albuquerque citizens to vote on. Translation: Berry claims his ethics prevented him from permitting us to weigh in at the polls on a) raising sales tax one-eighth of a cent—to fund social services for the addicted, homeless and mentally ill—and b) to reduce criminal penalties for the possession of less than one ounce of marijuana.
R-14-91 also contained ballot initiatives to a) grant the City Council approval authority over the Mayor's hiring of police and fire chiefs, b) change the voter-initiative process to prevent costly special elections and c) a bond proposal to fund "metropolitan redevelopment." In layman's terms, Berry's veto was a political strong-arm tactic to get the City Council to drop the tax increase and penalty reduction initiatives. Otherwise, these other three issues wouldn't get to voters. And it worked. On Wednesday, Sept. 3, the Council compromised (read: caved).
And that, as they say, could have been that. But on Friday, Sept. 5, the Bernalillo County Commission issued a press release calling for voter input on the tax increase and marijuana penalty reduction initiatives that Berry nixed. In the release Commission Chair Debbie O'Malley said, "It's critical that we hear directly from the people about how to move forward on these two issues that have such a major impact on our community. We need to look for ways to divert people with serious mental illness out of jail and into treatment instead. This issue impacts all of us and Bernalillo County residents are ready to talk about solutions."
In the same release, Commissioner Maggie Hart-Stebbins states, "Better access to mental health services and marijuana penalties are clearly on the minds of Bernalillo County residents. Both of these issues have a significant impact on public safety and county government so it makes sense to give the voters a say in this community discussion."
The County Commission will convene on Monday, Sept. 8, at 10am to make a final decision on which questions voters will get to address. That's where you come in. O'Malley and Hart-Stebbins want your input on the tax and marijuana penalty initiatives. Based on the overwhelmingly critical responses to Berry's veto video and the veto post on his Facebook page, many of you have something to say. So say it. If the Commission adds these initiatives to the ballot, all Bernalillo County residents—not just city folk—will have an opportunity to make a meaningful difference in creating local public policy.
These are difficult times for our city, and we appear to be at a crossroads. It's easy to be cynical. But rather than reposting memes—especially those featuring Mark Twain's belief that voting makes no difference—take a few minutes this weekend to engage your representatives on issues that matter to you. To facilitate that conversation, scroll on for quick links to contact O'Malley and Hart Stebbins. Use your voice. It's more powerful than you know.

Albuquerque Mayor Richard J. Berry made history yesterday. In addition to debuting a YouTube communiqué strategy, Berry became the first mayor in Albuquerque's history to veto an election amendment. According to the announcement, Berry vetoed R-14-91 because he couldn't "in good conscience" allow citizens of Albuquerque the opportunity to vote on a) lessening criminal penalties for possession of marijuana in quantities of one ounce or less and b) raising the Albuquerque gross-receipts tax rate one-eighth of a cent to fund social services for addicted, mentally ill and homeless citizens.
In this historic address, Berry cites his unwillingness to sign a bill that would raise taxes without any "clear and concise plan" on how to spend resulting funds and "flying in the face of state and federal law" by decriminalizing the possession of an "illegal drug." And the big, bad "illegal drug" is ... marijuana, a drug so innocuous even notoriously conservative local media outlets refer to it by slang terms like "pot" or "weed."
Deferring a vote on lessening penalties for possession of marijuana—which is a far cry from actually decriminalizing marijuana—is rather short-sighted, but the greater injustice in this veto is stalling funding for a citywide crisis of addiction, mental illness and homelessness. These three issues—which overlap and are at the root of immense suffering, both for those grappling with these afflictions and those impacted by resulting crime—must be at the core of any "urban renewal" strategy.
The City Council can override Berry's veto with a vote of 6 to 3. Three other ballot initiatives—granting the City Council approval authority over the Mayor's hiring of police and fire chiefs, changing the voter-initiative process to prevent costly special elections and a bond proposal that would fund "metropolitan redevelopment"—are also included in Berry's veto. Within the scope of these combined, largely progressive initiatives, consider the urgency of funding social services for our city's homeless, mentally ill and addicted residents when communicating with your City Councilor. If you're not sure who that is, find out here.
For my money, raising sales tax one-eighth of a cent, from 7 percent to 7.125 percent, is a prudent investment in the future of Albuquerque. And if lessening criminal penalties for possession of marijuana allows Albuquerque law enforcement to focus on addressing the institutional failures clearly outlined by the US Department of Justice and preventing violent crime, so much the better. Whatever your opinion of the ballot initiatives proposed in R-14-91, let your City Councilor know what you think. This is an issue that deserves your attention and civic engagement ... even on Labor Day weekend.

Let it be known that if you take too much Viagra, bad things can happen.
A coalition of abortion-rights activists, local politicians and members of the Jewish community held a rally Tuesday afternoon in downtown Albuquerque to denounce and demand protection from domestic terrorism. About 200 people gathered on Civic Plaza and listened, as rally organizers blasted out-of-state anti-abortion activists for terrorist acts, including inappropriate protests and demonstrations at the New Mexico Holocaust & Intolerance Museum, a birthing center and the office of a local family physician.
The rally comes little more than two weeks after teens from a California-based teen anti-abortion group converged on the museum, holding a large banner declaring, "ABQ: America's Aushwitz [sic]," while others passed out graphic photos of aborted fetuses and "wanted-style" postcards with pictures, names and addresses of local doctors. The teens were in town as a part of a public-awareness campaign supporting a proposed ballot measure to restrict late-term abortions within Albuquerque city limits.
While former Lieutenant Governor Diane Denish, the rally's first speaker, gave a brief account of life before Roe v. Wade, a female rally-goer could be heard shouting, "NO MORE COAT HANGERS." Denish recalled the days when women had to take "desperate measures" to end unwanted pregnancies.
"I am a mother of two daughters and a grandmother of two granddaughters, and I want them to have the same rights to safe abortion that has been legal for the past 40 years," she said.
The measure, if approved, would outlaw abortions after 20 weeks, unless medical professionals deemed the pregnancy a threat to the mother's health; it would not allow exceptions for cases of rape, incest or severe fetal anomaly. Albuquerque voters will have to decide the measure during a special election, because there isn't enough time for the City Council to approve the resolution for October's upcoming ballot.

Active substance: SUCCINYLATED GELATIN
View full screen / Print PDF » Download PDF ⇩
4% w/v Solution for Infusion
(succinylated gelatin)
Read all of this leaflet carefully
• Keep this leaflet. You may need to read it again.
• If you have further questions, please ask your doctor or nurse.
Each container of Isoplex is designed to last only a few hours
at a time; most of the succinylated gelatin is passed out of the
body in less than 12 hours. For this reason, you may be given
more Isoplex when your doctor or nurse thinks this is
necessary. In time, your body will make up the blood or body
fluids that you have lost.
4. Possible Side Effects
Like all medicines Isoplex can cause side effects, although not
everybody gets them
In this leaflet:
1. What is Isoplex and what does it do?
2. Before being given Isoplex
3. How much Isoplex to use and for how long
4 Possible side effects
5. Storing Isoplex
6. Further Information
Rarely, (between 1 in 1,000 and 1 in 10,000 people), patients
may experience an allergic like reaction. Tell your doctor or
nurse immediately if you notice any of the following:
1. What is Isoplex and what does it do ?
Isoplex is a temporary plasma substitute solution containing
succinylated gelatin 4% w/v (Plasma is the fluid component of
blood in which the red cells and white cells are carried).
Isoplex is administered directly into a vein via a drip tube
(intravenous infusion).
You will be given Isoplex if you have lost blood or body fluids
because of bleeding, injury, surgery, burns or infection. It
takes time for your body to replace the blood or body fluids
that you have lost. Isoplex can help maintain the volume of
fluid in your blood vessels during that time. Isoplex is not
intended to provide nutrition nor replace blood components
such as red cells which carry oxygen or white cells which fight
infection; Isoplex can only replace lost fluid volume.
Isoplex can be used for the treatment of initial blood loss during
2. Before being given Isoplex

recently taken, any other medicine, including those medicines
obtained without a prescription
Please ask your doctor or nurse for advice if you are pregnant
or breastfeeding.
3. How much Isoplex to use and for how long?
You will be given Isoplex via a drip tube inserted into a vein. It
is unlikely that you will ever have to use Isoplex yourself;
infusion fluids are mainly intended to be given by your doctor
or nurse.
Your doctor or nurse will work out how often you should have
Isoplex, and how much Isoplex should be used. The amount
given will depend upon your individual needs. You might also
be given other infusion fluids or products made from blood, or
a blood transfusion.

I need to replace the soap dish on this particular shower head/slide bar. How do I do that
A. Grohe 27 206 is the replacement number for that soap dish and is available for 20.00 -
Is the angle of the shower adjustable on the slide bar?
A. The Grohe 27 142 has an adjustable height, meaning you can slide it up and down but not an adjustable angle. -
one end of the hose connects to the shower head, what does the other end of the hose connect to? do you need an elbow wall supply piece?
A. The Grohe 27 142 would need to be connected to a water supply via a wall supply elbow like the Grohe 28 627. -
does it function well as a shower head as well as a body spray? does it adjust or project far enough from wall for using primarily as a shower head>
A. The Grohe 27 142 is a handshower and can be used as a substitute for a regular shower head, but not as a substitute for a body spray. -
is there a similar product where the bar is a grab (safety) bar?
A. The Grohe does not make a model where the slide bar mount doubles as a grab bar as well. -
what are the required accessorys for this product?
A. The Grohe 27 142 includes the shower head, slide bar, soap dish, and hose. You will still need some kind of trim kit and valve to match the trim kit to make this unit function. -
What is the difference between 27142 and 28917
A. The only difference is their look. The Grohe 28 917 has a smother look. The 27 142 has a rustic look that is more squared off. The technology is the exact. -
Wht is metal and what is plastic in this item?Is the hose metal on the outside? Is the bar and brackets metal?
A. The Grohe 27 142 has both metal and plastic parts. The slide bar is made of brass but the end caps and hand shower shell are a copper nickel plated ABS plastic. The hose is metal -
Does the locking mechanism stay tightly locked in place after turning or moving up and down?
A. The Grohe 27 142 has a knob for securing the hand shower on the slide bar. You would turn it counter-clockwise to loosen it, slide it up or down the bar, and then turn it clockwise to tighten it again. Once tightened, it should not move (nor should you attempt to move it.) -
Does this model 28917 differ in the way the shower head adjusts to direct downward instead of straight out besides sliding up and down and swinging left to right?
A. No it does not differ in any way in regard to the stream coming out -
Is the oil rubbed bronze finish in plastic or metal?
A. The Grohe 27 142 bar and hose are metal. The slide bar brackets and hand shower itself is a copper nickel coated ABS plastic -
Is the universal tray removable if I don't want it?
A. The Grohe 27 142 is removeable if you do not want to use it. -
Does this include the rough-in valve
A.The Grohe 27 142 does not require a rough in valve as a separate trim and valve would be required to function the supply water to the hand shower. The hand shower will require a wall supply elbow such as the Grohe 28 672.
I have a Relaxa Rustic Hand Shower what is the replacement number for the soap tray?
A.The Grohe 27 142 replacement soap tray is model 27 206.
