Gandhinagar: In an attempt to woo students at the convocation of Deen Dayal Upadhyaya university in Gandhinagar, Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Saturday called the youth, the energy of the country. He said that it is essential to channelise the youth in the right direction as it could lead to development at a fast pace. "If we utilize the power of India's youth in the right manner, we can overcome the loss of the past 60 years," he said.
He also added that the education should have a global outlook and futuristic approach and should be such that it contributes to human development. "Our thoughts need to be in sync with the present time," he said.
He also added that he dreams of making Gandhinagar a solar city. "Many states in the country have a shortage of power today. We can overcome this and make Gandhinagar a solar city," he said.
He also attacked the Congress over the shortage of power in many states. "Power generation is not happening because there is no coal and the files are lost," he said adding that it was imminent that the situation be improved soon.
Modi also took a jibe at Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi and said that some people look towards the youth to attain power while for him youth is for empowerment of the country.

Hey everyone,
A lot of you requested and now you all get it - the Video Recording feature is here!Now with a press of a button you are able to record a video of anything on road, the video then will saved automatically in your gallery.Just make sure you have enough free space and we recommend that your phone will be connected to the car charger at the same time (using iOnRoad and Video Recording at the same time for a long time might drain your battery, you can get a universal car charger from here).We hope to tell you soon about new exciting features we are working on now.
Hello to all of our great users around the globe,
We are happy to see more and more of you each day, and that is exactly why we added
the new translation section of the iOnRoad basics.
Try it from here, just press the right flag:
Want to see it in your language? found a mistake?Tell us at firstname.lastname@example.com
Good day to you all, our dear beta Users!
Over the last several months we've been hearing your requests and tried to prioritize the most important ones. Many of you have requested some kind of backend; and this is our first step towards that.
It comes with a new shiny personal dashboard that displays all of your snapshots, alerts, and other driving data. Rack up safety points by maintaining sufficient headway distance during your trips and compete with other drivers. Simply log in to your dashboard using your Google account to access all your information or to share your snapshots, driving maps and status!
Of course that in case you are not interested in this feature, you can turn off the statistics option in your setting. Having said that, give it a try, we like it a lot...
Want to erase a certain trip? We will enable it soon...
We will welcome more requests, so keep'em coming :-)
Check out this new Map of average driving speed in Europe by Country
The iOnRoad team has been wondering - Can the driving data be used to map the worldwide relative driving risk?
We used the average number of hourly alerts per country, and came up with the following map:
We removed some of the statistical noise, therefore some of the countries are not represented. Having said that, it turns out the data correlates nicely with other data on the average risk of being killed in a car accident per kilometer worldwide.

I was surprised by how small and broken-up the tea leaves were – it looked like something more suited to being inside of a tea bag. At the risk of sounding snobbish, if I have to pay $9 for 4oz of tea I'd really like for it to be good-quality whole-leaf stuff. And of course this was one of the pouches that hadn't been sealed properly so I ended up with half of it on the counter and the floor. >.

Revenge of the Flying Dutchman

Revenge of the Flying Dutchman | |
General Information | |
Developer: | Vicarious Visions (GBA) Big Sky Interactive (PS2, GC) |

Released: | GBA version USA September 10, 2002 Europe March 28, 2003 PS2 version USA November 21, 2002 Europe March 14, 2003 GameCube version USA December 18, 2002 Europe March 28, 2003 |

List of video games |
Revenge of the Flying Dutchman is a SpongeBob SquarePants video game for the PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube, and Game Boy Advance.
One day, while getting ready to leave for work, SpongeBob tells Gary that he had a bad dream the previous night and Gary conveys that he had a bad dream too, so SpongeBob tells Gary that he will play fetch. After getting the stick, SpongeBob tells Gary to fetch his "favorite fetching stick". However, Gary brings back a chest. SpongeBob opens the chest only to find a series of consecutively smaller boxes. Eventually, he discovers a bottle which he then opens and unwittingly releases the Flying Dutchman (note that this doesn't fit in with the show plot line). The Dutchman starts hypnotizing the citizens of Bikini Bottom to join his ghostly crew with an object of their desire, leaving SpongeBob to save them and defeat the Dutchman by himself.
The game has a total of seven expansive worlds for SpongeBob to explore, each one unique in its own way. Some were inspired by already-existing locales, such as Bikini Bottom and Goo Lagoon. Others, however, were new to the SpongeBob universe and were first introduced in the game, such as Chum World and the Flying Dutchman's Graveyard. Below is a list describing all seven areas:
- Bikini Bottom: Bikini Bottom is the main hub. After gaining the proper bus tickets, you can access all the worlds in the game from here (except for the Treedome and Flying Dutchman's Graveyard).
Treasure: Dirty Sock
- Jellyfish Fields: A vast, overrun field of wild jellyfish. It is home to a large jellyfishing contest, cliffs and canyons, and a scenic waterfall, making it a popular tourist attraction.
Treasure: Broken Glasses
- Chum World: Another of Plankton's attempts at closing down the Krusty Krab- in the form of an amusement park. Despite its negative motivation and abominable scenery, it is quite popular.
Treasure: Withered Backscratcher
- Goo Lagoon: The big beach of Bikini Bottom. Long, sandy beaches, stormy shores, a wealth of docks and ships, and even a few shipwrecks make up this ideal beach.
Treasure: Gross Clothes
- Treedome: Sandy's underwater house. Sandy accidentally cracked the glass of her dome, leaving it drenched. Although this level is not very wide, its expansive height makes up for it. Later, SpongeBob brings Sandy a gift, which he thinks is an acorn, but it's actually a beehive with angry bees and wasps.
Treasure: Dirty Teeth
- Downtown Bikini Bottom: A large, bustling city where rooftops cover the sky, and thugs run amok. Filled with the winding, thug-filled streets of the business district, the hazardous machinery of the construction site, and the soaring towers of the high rise, this place is no cakewalk. The main missions here are delivering Krabby Patties.
Treasure: Hairy Hair
- Flying Dutchman's Graveyard: A big ship-graveyard filled with ghostly vessels and searing lava where SpongeBob takes on the Flying Dutchman head to head to save his friends.
Treasure: Ugly Portrait
PS2 Loading Glitch/Big Sky Studios Shuts Down
A loading glitch with the PS2 version of this game caused the game to freeze when you enter a new or old area. Due to this glitch, the game can sometimes lose your progress and you may be stuck in the same area as before.
Many letters were sent to Big Sky Studios and they addressed the problem. Some players even sent death threats from getting far into the game but lost their data. Due to all the angry letters from players, Big Sky Studios immediately shut down.
- One of the moves on this game is similar to the Spindash move from the Sonic the Hedgehog Series.
- This game features many references to the show, including where Mr. Krabs warning SpongeBob about riding hooks.
- The ship on the box art is very similar to the design of the ship in the episode "Shanghaied."
- The French Narrator sounds different in this game.
- This is the first 3D Platformer for the SpongeBob franchise.
- SpongeBob SquarePants: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman was the first SpongeBob video game to be on Home Consoles. PS2 and Nintendo GameCube, but not Xbox

The vampirization of Demon City Shinjuku is nearly complete. Princess, the legendary evil vampire from ancient China, and her followers Kikiou and Ryuuki have unleashed the plague of vampirism upon the already debauched and depraved city on the edge of the abyss. As more and more of Shinjuku's citizens turn into creatures of the night, a secret government plan is hatched to annihilate Demon City with a nuclear device.
As the clock ticks down, beautiful manhunter Setsura Aki enters Princess's kingdom to retrieve Princess's hostage - the Prime Minister of Japan. There he meets a mysterious mask maker from a bygone era and undergoes a transformation. But will it be in time to save Shinjuku?
Meanwhile, the Demon Physician, Doctor Mephisto, remains a voluntary prisoner in Princess's camp. To what end, and whose side is the good doctor truly on? And in Shinjuku's Magic Town, Tonbeau Nuvenberg and the Doll Girl find the portal to Princess's kingdom - a box sealed by magic. To open the box, they must do the impossible: access the timeline of the Universe itself: the Akashic Records.
Written by Hideyuki Kikuchi and Illustrated by Jun Suemi.

Originally written on
Last updated 11/14/14
In total, the NHL lockout lasted 113 days before the NHL and its players' association reached an agreement on Jan. 6.
On Wednesday, Bruins owner Jeremy Jacobs and NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman addressed the media to declare that the National Hockey League's Board of Governors unanimously ratified the new Collective Bargaining Agreement. The final step to the start of the NHL season is now for the NHLPA to ratify the CBA.
In Jacobs' statement, he apologized to fans for the length of the lockout. He also praised Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly on their hard work in reaching an agreement with the NHLPA.
Read Jacobs' statement regarding the end of the lockout below:
"On behalf of the National Hockey League's Board of Governors, I am pleased to report that today we unanimously voted to ratify a new Collective Bargaining Agreement with the National Hockey League Players' Association. Which means, to our fans all around the globe, hockey is back.
"This great game has been gone for far too long, and for that we are truly sorry.
"The Board today also expressed its appreciation for the professionalism and commitment, to our clubs and to the sport, that Commissioner Bettman and Deputy Commissioner Daly displayed throughout this difficult period. Gary, Bill and their staff worked tirelessly from long before the lockout began in an effort to reach a constructive conclusion. Gary and Bill have the complete and unconditional support of the Board – and our gratitude.
"As our League moves toward what we know will be a period of growth for the sport, and a time of great excitement and entertainment for our fans, I would add the appreciation of the Board for the dedication the players showed during the negotiating process – and for their role in securing an agreement that will move the National Hockey League forward in the years ahead. There's no doubt we all love this game.
"Together our collective future is extremely bright.
"Our only interest now is to look ahead and to focus on what this great game can provide to the best sports fans in the world."

It doesn't appear Apple is having any trouble moving iPad tablets. The recently released iPad 2 sold out almost as soon as it went on sale, and there's now a waiting period if you place an order with Apple. Be that as it may, a senior Dell executive says the iPad has no place in the enterprise because of its high price, at least when you toss in the necessary peripherals, and that Android will lead eventually lead the way.
"Apple is great if you've got a lot of money and live on an island. It's not so great if you have to exist in a diverse, open, connected enterprise, simple things become quite complex," Andy Lark, Dell's global head of marketing for large enterprises and public organizations, said to CIO Australia.
Of course, Dell has a vested interest in seeing alternative tablets succeed, as the OEM is currently building slates based on Android and Windows Phone 7. But does Lark have a point?
"An iPad with a keyboard, mouse, and a case [means] you'll be at $1,500 or $1,600; that's double of what you're paying. That's not feasible," Lark says.
And we would agree, $1,600 for a tablet isn't feasible, the problem is his numbers don't exactly add up. The most expensive iPad 2 device runs $829. Even after adding the cost of a keyboard and case, you're still under $1,000, and that's for the most expensive iPad out there. For the least expensive model, you can shave $330 off.

Adolescent literacy learning centered in processes of imagination is marginalized and neglected within the saturated climate of standardized assessment. This arts-based qualitative study uncovers imagination as an active presence central to making meaning in a middle school language arts class involved in a writing experience inspired by the history of jazz. Learning filtered through the creative processes of writing reveals imagination as an interiorized action in adolescent literacy development. I ground this research in sociocultural perspectives of literacy (Vygotsky, 1978, 1986) engaged in aesthetic paradigms of learning. From this perspective, I investigate how middle school student writers participating in individual and collaborative activities internalize the experience to create new understandings of the world in which they live. Through the lens of theory, I explore the imagination as a higher psychological and cultural function involved in the mediated development of language. This study describes the powerful ways in which students craft writing and concurrently develop strong, critical and creative thinking capacities. I discard false perspectives that assume the inefficacy of learning in expressive modes and endorse pedagogies that place imagination at the center of processes of literacy teaching and learning.

Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
* Scrutinises and reflects on SRI in the context of the current financial crisis
* Critically assesses different understandings of SRI as they play out in the market
* Tackles epistemological, ethical and policy problems, which arise as mainstreaming SRI faces financial meltdowns
The SRI phenomenon is said to be entering the mainstream of financial intermediation. From a fairly marginal practice promoted or campaigned for by NGO's and at odds with financial practice and orthodoxy it grew into well formulated policy adopted by a wide range of investors. Academic literature on SRI has also boomed on the assumption that mainstreaming is taking place. However, little thinking has been carried out on questions specifically arising from this alleged 'mainstreaming'. This book, addressed to those with a scholarly or practitioner's interest in SRI, starts filling this neglected dimension.
Today, one cannot ignore the difficulties of main stream financing. The financial spheres are trembling globally in one of the worst crises since the 1930's. As a response to the crisis, the intermediation of 'financial responsibility' will undoubtedly be the subject of new regulation and scrutinizing. This book looks into what these turbulences will imply for SRI.
In view of these circumstances, one might or even should, ask oneself whether the phenomenon was not an empty fad during the exuberant high of financial euphoria that came abruptly to an end with current financial crises. To put it rather sec: are financial intermediaries that promote 'sustainability' credible, while it is obvious that some developments in financial intermediation -predictably, as some say- were unsustainable?
Is this an opportunity for enhancing SRI because of the strength and superiority it has developed or will it disappear due to a return to financial myopia? This book is the first to question the future of SRI in such a radical way.

The insurer expects to repurchase $250 million to $300 million of securities this year, Carmel, Indiana-based CNO said today in a statement. CNO said it expects to take a second-quarter charge of $5 million tied to the buybacks.
"We've been tactical in our approach to returning capital to shareholders," Chief Financial Officer Frederick Crawford said on an April 25 conference call. "We retired over 26 percent of our diluted shares in the past two years through a mix of share and convertible repurchases."
CNO gained less than 1 percent to $12.96 in New York trading today and has advanced 39 percent this year.

Leonard H. Marks, a communications lawyer who helped Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife acquire the television stations that built their fortune and who later served as director of the United States Information Agency in the Johnson administration, died Friday in Washington. He was 90.
The cause was complications of Parkinson's disease, said Kent Jenkins, a family friend.
Mr. Marks said he became a lawyer because his father, who held minor political posts, told him he could make money and still be a politician. He more than accomplished both goals. By the time President Johnson appointed him director of the U.S.I.A., which officially conveys the American image to the world, Mr. Marks's Washington law firm represented more than 400 broadcasting licensees.
As director of the information agency, he had the task of communicating the United States' views on the Vietnam War, which he ultimately told President Johnson was futile. It was the only time Johnson was ever angry at him, Mr. Marks said in an interview with Bar Report, published by the District of Columbia Bar Association.
Among Mr. Marks's first private clients were Johnson, then a congressman, and his wife, Lady Bird. With an inheritance, Mrs. Johnson had bought a radio station, which was licensed to operate only at night. Mr. Marks got it licensed not only to operate 24 hours a day, but also to use a superior frequency.
It was his idea that the Johnsons apply to the Federal Communications Commission to buy the television station in Austin, the Texas capital. He said that Johnson resisted, but that Mrs. Johnson said yes.
''That was the beginning of the L.B.J. family fortune,'' Mr. Marks said in the interview.
As charges that he had pulled political strings to get the lucrative and sought-after station dogged Johnson, Mr. Marks repeatedly explained that Mrs. Johnson was simply a shrewd businesswoman.
''She could read a balance sheet the way a truck driver reads a road map,'' he said.
Leonard Harold Marks was born on March 5, 1916, in Pittsburgh, where his father held elected and appointed political jobs in law enforcement. He went to the University of Pittsburgh, where he was student-body president, majored in political science and graduated at 19. He taught for four years at the university's law school, after graduating from it with honors.
In 1942, he moved to Washington and became assistant to the general counsel of the F.C.C. He oversaw the agency's Foreign Broadcast Intelligence Service, which monitored foreign radio broadcasts.
In 1946, he joined Marcus Cohn to form the law firm Cohn & Marks. In 1948, he married the former Dorothy Ames, a reporter for Variety and other newspapers; she died in 2001.
Mr. Marks is survived by two sons, Stephen Ames Marks, of Arnold, Md., and Robert Evans Marks, of Greenwich, Conn., and five grandchildren.
During the 1950's, Mr. Marks traveled to India, Turkey and elsewhere to lecture on communications under a State Department program. In 1962, at the request of Edward R. Murrow, then director of the information agency, he led a privately financed program to distribute thousands of American books abroad.
He said in an interview with Merle Miller in ''Lyndon: An Oral Biography'' (1980) that he decided early that Johnson was going to be president and refrained from asking any favors for other clients that might later embarrass him.
But he had no problems promoting Johnson and was treasurer of his 1964 presidential campaign.
During the 1960 campaign, Johnson, then running for vice president, and John F. Kennedy, the presidential candidate, were reported to be at odds and met in New York for a joint television appearance to defuse rumors. Johnson was given two minutes, compared with Kennedy's 20, but, after protesting, he got five. ''I've got an eight-minute speech,'' Johnson protested.
Mr. Marks was in charge of the cue cards. He displayed the speech as written, all eight minutes' worth.
When he was appointed as director of the U.S.I.A., succeeding Carl T. Rowan, some questioned his journalistic inexperience, but the president praised his leadership potential. In an unusual token of respect, Mr. Johnson invited Mr. Marks to National Security Council meetings, at which Mr. Marks argued that military factors should overrule public opinion, according to Robert Dallek in ''Flawed Giant: Lyndon Johnson and His Times'' (1998).
Among his initiatives at the information agency were hiring skilled local storytellers to spread American views at Vietnamese fish markets and bringing six Egyptians, including Anwar el-Sadat, who was not yet president, to chat with Johnson.
Mr. Marks led many international and national efforts in communications, press freedom, space, foreign policy and humanitarian matters, including serving as president of the International Rescue Committee, which aided Vietnamese boat people in the 1970's.
When President Johnson's body lay in state in the Capitol in 1973, Mr. Marks recalled Mrs. Johnson as saying ''that the thing Lyndon hated was to be by himself.'' He and other close friends gathered to keep overnight watch on the coffin.

Arkema's Kynar® film has been awarded a 2012 China Top 10 Brand for PV Materials prize by China Modern Photovoltaics magazine. This prize recognises that Kynar® film has become a key material for reliable backsheets of photovoltaic panels.
Kynar® film, made of PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) extruded into a very thin film, is used as the protective outer layer in PV panel backsheets, and its outstanding UV resistance and moisture barrier greatly contribute to the reliability of PV modules. Thanks to its exceptional durability, Kynar® film helps significantly extend the lifetime of the modules.
Kynar® film protective backsheets are sold under the brands KPE® (one Kynar® outer protection layer over the polyester core layer) and KPK® (one outer and one inner Kynar® protection layer over the polyester layer). The film is based on a patented technology developed by Arkema, and Kynar® film is approved by the world's leading manufacturers of film laminates for solar panel backsheets. In less than 10 years, Arkema has become a key player in this fast-growing market.
Kynar® PVDF film benefits from over 40 years of Arkema's experience as a supplier of PVDF Kynar 500®, the world's most durable architectural PVDF-based coating technology.
A global chemical company and France's leading chemicals producer, Arkema is building the future of the chemical industry every day. Deploying a responsible, innovation-based approach, we produce state-of-the-art specialty chemicals that provide customers with practical solutions to such challenges as climate change, access to drinking water, the future of energy, fossil fuel preservation and the need for lighter materials. With operations in more than 40 countries, some 14,000 employees and 10 research centers, Arkema should generate annual revenue of approximately €6.5 billion, and holds leadership positions in all its markets with a portfolio of internationally recognized brands.

Doyle and Abby are sloppy assassins, but they get the job done. However, that's not good enough for an assassins guild that is getting more pressure from the public to keep assassinations clean, and to revoke the licenses of those who can't. This just means that Doyle and Abby have to take on a big hit to pay the fines. But when the hit ends up being one of Doyle's ex-girlfriends, Abby gets jealous.

Another interesting perspective on this situation: By Weber signing the offer sheet, he basically gives up his UFA status, meaning he may have just agreed to play for Nashville for the rest of his career. Knowing how close these two GM's are, this could be a move by Philly to help Poile sign Weber long-term. From what I have heard, Poile is matching, and won't even listen to anyone trying to tell him otherwise. Weber will be in a Preds uniform for the rest of his career.
I think you're a bit nieve to think that losing Suter and Weber wouldn't hurt because you have "great prospects" Generally it takes prospects (and that's what they are) a good chunk of years to even come close to the level of Suter/Weber, who i consider top 10 D in the NHL. Not withstanding i believe cap wise Nashville is about 13M under the cap floor! So they need to spend money sooner or later don't they? I know if the Rangers were to lose our top two D-men our team would be really set back, mainly because of the style of hockey we play. I still think Nashville is going to match the offer sheet.
Lol, everyone is going to be gone cept goalie. Oh well, it was nice enjoying Preds games for 2 years. Time to pick up my wagon and leave town.
Let's just assume Weber stays, which I think he will. The only player we've lost is Suter. Sure, its a big loss on D, but it's not going to instantly sink this team.
Fully agree losing one of the two is not the end of the world at all. Losing both on the other hand i think would be. So i agree. with you there
Love it. BTW it wouldn't be four picks in the same draft. It would be our first round pick in four consecutive years..which would be crap picks seeing as we would make a deep run in the playoffs.
I highly doubt they match it. I don't think they have the money to; we (Philly) frontloaded the contract and have a huge signing bonus. It looks more like an NFL contrac than a NHL one. I think the signing bonus is around 27m. Either way it's going to be hard for the Preds to match it. That being said I could see a follow up trade. Where the Preds would trade some of the compensation picks back to us for players (defensemen most likely, as you would need them and we have a surplus of them). Plus you may turn around and send an OS to our RFA. Either way, it's a win, win situation for Philly as we either get Weber or our divion rivals don't. Our GM is friends with Poile so I think there is something going on behind the scene (trade I spoke of above).

Heart Rhythm Meditation
By FREDDIE YAM
THE BASIC IDEA: focus attention on your heartbeat.
This sounds similar to the world's best-known meditation technique, vipassana, which starts by focusing on the breath. But according to Puran Bair, author of a book on heart rhythm meditation, there's a big difference. He says that vipassana (like most meditation methods) is an "upward" technique that raises consciousness away from ego, sensation, materiality, and thought. In contrast, heart rhythm meditation is an "upward-followed-by-downward" technique which launches consciousness on the same upward trajectory, but then brings it back down to recreate the meditator.
The idea of going up and then down to reach the heart is present in many traditions,* and Bair's book is based on old Sufi methods. What may be new here is not the up-and-down trajectory, but the particular technique for accomplishing it.
Bair uses the following table to compare the different physiological results that come from upward and downward meditation:
Some scientific evidence suggests that heart rhythm meditation works partly by causing frequency entrainment. This means that brainwaves and heartbeats get into matching rhythms. There is also evidence that meditators can create this effect by using biofeedback gadgets and computer programs that create sounds. At the end of this article, you'll find links to manufacturers who sell such paraphernalia.
*For example, Sri Ramana Maharshi, speaking from the perspectives of Jnana Yoga and Advaita Vedanta, said, "An examination of the ephemeral nature of external phenomena leads to vairagya [dispassion]. Hence enquiry (vichara) is the first and foremost step to be taken. When vichara continues automatically, it results in a contempt for wealth, fame, ease, pleasure, etc. The 'I' thought becomes clearer for inspection. The source of 'I' is the Heart -- the final goal." (Talks With Sri Ramana Maharshi, page 26.)
Living From the Heart: What Happens When You Meditate on Your Heart? By Puran Bair The developer of Heart Rhythm Meditation describes some of the benefits it can give you.
LIVING FROM THE HEART: HEART RHYTHM MEDITATION By Puran Bair By becoming mindful of their heartbeats, readers will be able to create a deep state of stillness and alertness, improve physical health, enhance intuition, and concentrate personal power. Bair illustrates the effectiveness of his program with stories of clients he has helped and with ancient teaching stories from the Sufi masters. Heart rhythm meditation is suitable for beginners as well as experienced meditators looking to expand their practice.

Tarasco was involved in a controversial play in the 1996 American League Championship Series while playing right field for the Baltimore Orioles. While fielding a fly ball hit by Derek Jeter, 12-year old-fan Jeffrey Maier reached over the fence and caught the ball. A home run was called, although the correct call was fan interference. The play was the turning point in the series, which the Yankees won.
He also played with the Hanshin Tigers in Japanese Central League in 2000.
He is the cousin of Phillies shortstop and 2007 NL MVP Jimmy Rollins.
He had a cameo appearance in the movie Talent for the Game in a Kansas City Royals uniform. He was the minor league coordinator for the Washington Nationals.[1]
The Washington Nationals announced November 14 Tarasco will join the coaching staff in the 2013 season to coach first base (and outfield).[2]

Quirky grandmother left legacy of humor
Mary M. Heidbrink : October 3, 2012 : Updated: October 3, 2012 10:16pm
Thelma Dinkla
The general consensus among Thelma Dinkla's grandchildren is that she was not a conventional, cookies-and-milk grandma. "She wasn't the one who would pat you on the head and say job well done," granddaughter Carie Villano said.
"You could talk to her about anything," though. "I would go over there and learn something; here I am with a computer and iPhone and she could tell me something I didn't know."
Dinkla died Saturday at 90.
"She just had this incredible, insightful wit," grandson Gerrit Dinkla said. "She was hyperintelligent, but the traumas of her life made her an in-depth person."
Dinkla was born in El Paso and endured a troubled childhood there and in New Mexico. When she was in her early teens, she moved to South San Antonio, where she met Dutch Dinkla at his family's grocery store, Temple Hill Grocery and Meat Market, at South Presa and Hot Wells Boulevard. They married in 1939 and built a house nearby.
The house was "unique in itself," daughter Wendy Dinkla Doherty said. "Friends said it looked like a museum. It was very much her: colorful and unusual."
She was known for her sharp one-liners. "We were involved in sports, and she would take us to all the practices and games," Doherty said. "But she wouldn't go. She would say she wasn't 'an athletic supporter.'"
She loved books and was an avid reader, and although she wasn't able to go to college, she was self-taught, said son Danny Dinkla. "She was very intelligent," he said, and remembered visiting and seeing her magazines laid out. "She'd have a stack that she'd read, and another that she was going to read," he said.
She also kept a list on her refrigerator, he said. "If you were in trouble with her, your name would be on the refrigerator. It was the list to remind (her), 'I'm mad at you,'" he said. "I'd been on; I'd come back a few weeks later, and the name would be gone."
"She used humor and sarcasm and wit in everything," granddaughter Dawn Parsley Johnson said. "I have children now, and my 16-year-old and Meemo were very, very close." She said her daughter sketched a cross with a sash across it after her grandmother died and said, "That's the tattoo I'm going to get. Meemo and I talked, and I told Meemo I was going to get a tattoo with her name on it." She said her great-grandmother joked it could go with her other jailhouse tattoos.
"I think we all had our own special relationship with her in our own special way," Villano said. "We loved her for who she was. She wasn't typical, but she was one of those people you could joke with, cry with."

I am inclined to bet that one year from now national sovereignty will be stronger, not weaker, than it is today. One may hope. Personally, I am affraid this is will be to the united states of europe what the civil war was to the unites states of america; the end of federalism. Posted November 28, 2011 4:20 AM

"The passive consensus in favor of Europe is bigger than it appears in Great Britain." Garton-Ash is confusing (as so many do) passive acceptance of the status quo with an opinion about Europe. We're in the EU, most don't think it all that important one way or the other, certainly not against all the other things in life that can be considered. However, when you ask people to focus upon the subject of Europe, make a decision about it, then the majority are against it as it is: and a minority advocate further integration and a majority partial or full withdrawal. We see this in the elections. Local council or Westminster elections my own party (UKIP, advocating complete withdrawal)gets some pittance of the vote. 2%-6 or 7% in the polls right now. In the euro-elections (for the European Parliament), when people are actually thinking or voting about Europe, our vote soars. We came second last time: behind the Conservatives and ahead of Labour and the Lib Dems. As I say, Garton Ash is confusing rough acceptance of the status quo with an opinion on Europe.

It's Girl Scout cookie time, and soon you'll find Girl Scouts at your door or staffing tables at retail stores to sell eight varieties of cookies, from Do-Si-Dos to Thin Mints.
This year the cookies will come in packaging that highlights the business skills the girls learn selling them: setting goals, managing money and developing people skills in dealing with customers. They also learn about business ethics, problem-solving and making critical decisions.
The sales period is Feb. 2 -March 17. Cookie booths will be operated Feb. 11-March 17. A cookie booth locator is available at www.girlscoutsrv.org/cookies.
Each package of cookies costs $4, and of that amount, 70 percent goes to the Girl Scout troop and council to fund programs.
Last year, River Valley's Girl Scouts earned more than $2.9 million for Scout programs.
With an assist from AARP, tax advisors will be helping seniors and low-income families this tax season for free.
The service is provided at Club Prior, the senior center in Prior Lake, on Tuesdays beginning Feb. 5 through April 9.
Call 952-447-9783 for an appointment, which is required. Only basic tax forms can be involved.
The frustration factor in figuring out what City Hall is up to in Shakopee just faded a bit.
A $26,000 software upgrade is making it less of a hunt to check out upcoming agendas and background material on issues confronting the city.
Agenda Quick is the name of the software, and material can now be accessed agenda.ci.shakopee.mn.us.
Staffers had been creating paper copies of memos, then scanning them into a document management system that some folks found exasperating to penetrate.
The paperless system over the months to come will spread to advisory committees, officials say. The money comes from city cable fees.
Apple Valley's 35th Mid-Winter Fest is coming this weekend.
Most events will be held Saturday at the Hayes Park community center and Sunday at Valleywood Golf Course.
Events include a medallion hunt, a snow softball tournament, a pie-eating contest, a Wii bowling contest, a volleyball tournament, cross-country skiing and ice skating.
The city's annual Frozen Apple concert series continues from 6 to 9 p.m. Saturday at the new clubhouse at Valleywood Golf Course, 4851 W. 125th St.
The free concert, with food by Enjoy Restaurant, will feature Michael Moore blending vocals, handmade guitars and bamboo/crystal flutes.

Gary Anderson (designer)
Gary Dean Anderson (born 1947) is an influential graphic designer and architect. He is most well known as the designer of the recycling symbol, one of the most readily recognisable logos in the world.
Gary Anderson's contribution to modern graphic design has been compared to those of early pioneering modernist graphic designers such as Herbert Bayer.[1] His design for a symbol to embody the concept of recycling has been compared to iconic trademarks such as those for Coca-Cola and Nike.[2] It has been called one of America's "most important design icons," [3] it is one of the most recognizable graphic symbols in the world[4] and has helped to encourage global recycling.[5] In some countries, such as the UK, the symbol carries such implicit meaning that it requires government permission to be used.[6] Although the symbol is the most widely known of his accomplishments, Anderson has also made important contributions in the areas of urban planning and urban development.
Family background[edit]
Gary Anderson was born in 1947 in Honolulu, Hawaii, into a family with roots in rural Germany, France and Scandinavia, and more recently in Nebraska and the agricultural US Midwest. Midwestern forbears included members of the communal, utopian Icarian Movement as well as supporters of the populist progressive politics of William Jennings Bryan.
Gary's father, Glen, left farming and became an electronics technician in the US Navy. As a result of his career in the military, he was re-stationed frequently to various locations throughout the Pacific Rim, resulting in long absences from the family during Gary's early childhood and in the family's relocating several times. Possibly as a result of the stress accompanying these unsettled circumstances, Gary's mother Florence was hospitalized on several occasions suffering from bipolar disorder, periodically leaving Gary and his two sisters in the care of various relatives in Nebraska.
In the late 1950s, the family ultimately settled in North Las Vegas, Nevada, where Glen had been stationed at Lake Mead Naval Base, engaged in work related to atomic research at the Nevada Test Site. In 1958, shortly after joining the electronics firm of EG&G, Glen died of complications possibly attributable to exposure to atomic radiation years before at the Bikini Atoll nuclear test site.
Academic background[edit]
Gary attended public schools and graduated from high school in the Las Vegas Valley. In 1966, after completing one year in the engineering program at the University of Southern California, Anderson changed majors and enrolled in the USC School of Architecture, where he studied from 1966 to 1970. He relied on various scholarships — notably from the Graham Foundation, the Architectural Guild of Southern California and the American Institute of Architects — to fund his tuition. He earned a bachelor of architecture degree, magna cum laude in 1970 and a master of urban design degree one year later in 1971.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the teaching philosophy of the USC College of Architecture and Fine Arts was influenced by the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) Institute of Design. The Dean of the USC College, Crombie Taylor, was the former acting Director of the IIT Institute of Design. Consequently, the College's architectural education, like that of IIT, was steeped in Modernism and in particular the Bauhaus aesthetic and the Bauhaus approach to integrating art, architecture, technology and culture. This was evident in the work of the College's faculty, who included the building scientist, Konrad Wachsmann, and the designer of some Case Study Houses in Southern California, Pierre Koenig. Other faculty who influenced Anderson's design aesthetic were the graphic artist John Gilchrist, whose recommended reading included D'Arcy Thompson's book On Growth and Form. Other readings were from Ralph Knowles, who was an early advocate of environmentally-friendly design that prefigured more recent sustainable design and development, and Richard Berry, the urban planner and theorist who explored with his students the relationship between design and information theory.
Through the University's work-study program, Anderson worked as an assistant to Crombie Taylor, preparing an exhibit of the ornamentation of the early modernist architect, Louis Sullivan, which melded together aspects of both organic and geometric form. The curriculum at the College included numerous electives, and the administration permitted great latitude in the courses that students took. Anderson took numerous courses outside his major, including courses in sociology, economics, and business, and he returned to the USC engineering program to take a course in mathematical topology for non-mathematicians. In this last course, Anderson would have encountered the Möbius strip, since it is a fundamental concept in the study of topology.
Social and cultural influences[edit]
During this time the world outside the university was in tumult which was reflected by events on campus. The Watts Riots had raged just south of USC the summer before Anderson arrived, and he was briefly engaged with the South Central Neighborhood Design Center, an organization that had been set up to provide pro bono architectural services in distressed neighborhoods, as a means of furthering the cause of social justice. Three years previously, Rachel Carson had published Silent Spring, which implicated big business and industry in profiting from practices that caused irreparable environmental harm. US involvement in the Vietnam War had steadily increased since 1959, with the deployment of combat troops in 1965.
Partly in reaction to these and other events, a youth movement was forming that questioned the established patterns of human interaction that gave rise to such problems. Among the early manifestations of this movement was a commitment to nonviolence and pacifism. It engendered, as well, a renewed interest in the stylistic aspects of culture such as were evidenced during a previous youth movement in the late 19th and early 20th Century when the Jugendstil and Art Nouveau flourished in the applied and graphic arts. Another aspect of the youth subculture of the 1960s and 1970s was the recreational use of psychoactive substances and psychedelic drugs.
By the 1970s, the mixing of the youth subculture with concurrent political and social upheavals seemed to give rise to a violent counterculture that appeared to morph out of the previously peaceful youth movement. In 1968, the Tate/LaBianca murders were committed by the youthful Charles Manson Family, and in 1970, the 26 year old civil rights activist Angela Davis was implicated (although ultimately found not guilty) in the murder of a superior court judge.
Recycling design competition[edit]
In 1970, the Container Corporation of America (CCA) released a poster that was widely distributed to colleges and universities in the United States.[7][8] Under the direction of Walter Paepcke, the CCA had established itself as a leader in corporate graphics and design.[3] The poster advertised a competition to design a graphic symbol which would be used on recycled paper products and which could recognize a commitment to environmental sensitivity on the part of any manufacture who was engaged in recycling. The winning symbol would be given over to the public domain.[8] The competition was also to honor the first Earth Day, which was held that same year.
Anderson designed a symbol and submitted three variations of it to the competition. The alternatives actually represented Anderson's stepwise refinement[9] of a basic idea involving three arrows – from a more elaborate design utilizing different tones and the word "recycle", to a simple black and white line drawing with no wording. The arrows were planar, suggesting strips of paper, but they curved and bent back upon themselves as though captured in the midst of an industrial manufacturing process,[10] and the three arrows taken together as a continuous band formed the topological figure known as a Möbius strip.[2]
The 500 entries to the competition were judged by designers recognized as world leaders in graphics and industrial art, including Saul Bass, Herbert Bayer, James Miho, Herbert Pinzke and Eliot Noyes.[11] The award was announced at the International Design Conference at Aspen (IDCA) under the auspices of the Aspen Institute. Anderson received a fellowship to attend the Conference.
Anderson has said that his academic experiences and the spirit of the times were primary determinates of his design; but that violence stemming from the drug-infused political radicalization of the youth movement led him to strive for a graphic approach that, while acknowledging the fluid mysticism of underground psychedelic art associated with Haight-Ashbury, reflected restraint and balance, as well.[12]
He has also identified more specific but diverse influences that include a variation on a popular nursery rhyme,[10] an elementary school field trip to an industrial printing press, the Woolmark symbol,[10] and the graphic art of M. C. Escher,[2] which at the time of the design competition had only recently become widely accessible in the United States.
Further work[edit]
Anderson used his $2,500 in prize money to study for a year at the University of Stockholm, Sweden, obtaining a diploma in social science from the Institute for English Speaking Students, a branch of the University which no longer exists. Returning from Sweden, Anderson was employed as a planner and architectural designer by Gruen Associates (formerly Victor Gruen Associates) in Los Angeles and David Jay Flood and Associates of Santa Monica, California, before moving east to accept a planning position at RTKL Associates in Baltimore. During his tenure there, he became a registered architect. Laid off from RTKL during a recession in the mid '70s, Anderson found work in the Prince George's County (Maryland) Department of Community Development, and then in the Office of University Planning at the University of Maryland.
In 1978 he accepted a position in the School of Architecture and Planning at King Faisal University (KFU) in Dammam, Saudi Arabia. At about the same time, he was accepted into the PhD program in Geography and Environmental Engineering at Johns Hopkins University. He spent the next seven years alternately engaged in teaching and research[13][14][15] at KFU, where he ultimately became acting head of the Department of Urban and Regional Planning. He continued to work on his PhD at Hopkins, which was awarded in 1985 after he defended his thesis on socio-cultural aspects of the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia that, in combination with the rise of the oil economy, determined patterns of urbanization there.[16] While still at KFU, he worked with CH2M Hill to undertake a comprehensive socioeconomic survey, which was one of the first in Saudi Arabia.[citation needed]
Returning to Baltimore, Anderson was employed by STV Inc (previously Lyon Associates), an engineering, architecture, and planning firm, where he held various positions over a period of eighteen years, ultimately rising to the role of vice president in charge of federal planning projects.[8] As a result of his work there,[17] he was awarded the national Urbahn Prize for Architecture by the Society of American Military Engineers (SAME), a distinction which he shares with other notables such as Harold Adams, the retired CEO of RTKL. Anderson was also inducted in the Academy of Fellows of SAME.
Concurrent with his work in government-related planning, Anderson held an adjunct faculty position in the Edward St John Department of Real Estate (in the Carey Business School at Johns Hopkins). In this capacity he taught courses and wrote on the role of design and planning in private sector development,[18][19] and he became a member of the executive committee of the Urban Land Institute (ULI), Baltimore District Council. In 2005 he became a Fulbright Senior Specialist, and was invited by the Helsinki University of Technology to lecture and advise graduate students on their theses in the Faculty for Engineering and Architecture and the Centre for Urban and Regional Studies.
Because he had turned his attention to pursuits not directly related to graphic design following creation of the recycling symbol, and because he lived abroad for extended periods of time, Anderson was not always recognized as the designer of the recycling symbol. Following the original press releases and initial coverage in trade publications, the design was sometimes erroneously attributed to the head of the Container Corporation's graphics department. There may have been an attempt to have the symbol copyrighted,[8] despite the entry rules for the original competition which would have prohibited this.
It was not until the 1990s that the connection between Anderson and the symbol began to be better established, with the publication of an article by Philip B. Meggs in the trade journal Print, which credited Anderson with the design and showed that Anderson's symbol represents a modern expression of Bauhaus principles,[3] a view which was reinforced subsequently by Peder Anker.[1]
