Issues over nominating State office-bearers, district chiefs
After a brief spell, trouble is brewing once again in the faction-ridden Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) State unit over the proposed nomination of State office-bearers and districts presidents.
The Rashtriya Sweyamsevak Sangh (RSS), with the support of a section led by newly appointed BJP national secretary P.K. Krishnadas, has opposed State president V. Muraleedharan having a free run in the organisational set-up of the State unit.
Its leadership feels that his 'autocratic style functioning' has affected the party at the grassroots level.
Sources told The Hindu on Monday that the RSS had already put forth a list of names for various posts. It wanted to appoint former national council member M.T. Ramesh as one of the four general secretaries by replacing K.P. Sreeshan. RSS wants the latter to be one of eight vice-presidents. It has also sought to weed out the 'unpopular and inefficient' district presidents of Kozhikode, Malappuram, Palakkad, Kottayam, Idukki, Pathanamthitta, and Kollam, party sources say.
The BJP Central leadership had asked Mr. Muraleedharan to take into confidence senior leaders before appointing State office-bearers and district presidents after the RSS opposed his nomination in January. A committee formed to look into the issue has not been able to find consensus.
The committee, comprising senior BJP leaders O. Rajagopal, C.K. Padmanabhan, K.R. Umakanth, (organisational secretary of the BJP), RSS Prantha Karyavahak P. Gopalankutty, and Prantha Pracharak P.R. Sasidharan had met five times. The Krishnadas faction, which accepted the list put forth by the RSS, says it will not take part in talks anymore.
The love-hate relationship between the RSS and the official faction of the BJP has led to the inordinate delay in announcing the list of office- bearers. This is also the first time in the history of the party that the announcement of the office-bearers is getting postponed and that too by more than three months after the appointment of the State president.
A senior party functionary says Mr. Muraleedharan will have no option but to announce the list before the national executive committee meeting of the party to be held in Goa in the first week of June.
The RSS has given an ultimatum that its cadres will not cooperate with the BJP in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls if Mr. Muraleedharan takes an arbitrary stand. It had previously decided to pull out Mr. Umakanth, its nominee to the post.

Gecko's Lessons Transfer Well
Dry printing of nanotube patterns to any surface could revolutionize microelectronics and more
Watch a gecko walk up a wall. It defies gravity as it sticks to the surface no matter how smooth it appears to be.
What's happening isn't magic. The gecko stays put because of the electrical attraction "" the van der Waals force "" between millions of microscopic hairs on its feet and the surface.
The principle applies to new research at Rice University reported this week in the online version of the journal ACS Nano. But in this case, the hairs figuratively come off the gecko and plant themselves on the wall.
Rice graduate student Cary Pint has come up with a way to transfer forests of strongly aligned, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) from one surface to another "" any surface "" in a matter of minutes. The template used to grow the nanotubes, with its catalyst particles still intact, can be used repeatedly to grow more nanotubes, almost like inking a rubber stamp.
Pint is primary author of the research paper, which also details a way to quickly and easily determine the range of diameters in a batch of nanotubes grown through chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Common spectroscopic techniques are poor at seeing tubes bigger than two nanometers in diameter "" or most of the nanotubes in the CVD "supergrowth" process.
"This is important since all of the properties of the nanotubes "" electrical, thermal and mechanical "" change with diameter," he said. "The best thing is that nearly every university has an FTIR (Fourier transform infrared) spectrometer sitting around that can do these measurements, and that should make the process of synthesis and application development from carbon nanotubes much more precise."
Pint and other students and colleagues of Robert Hauge, a Rice distinguished faculty fellow in chemistry, are also investigating ways to take printed films of SWNTs and make them all-conducting or all-semiconducting "" a process Hauge refers to as "Fermi-level engineering" for its ability to manipulate electron movement at the nanoscale.
Combined, the techniques represent a huge step toward a nearly limitless number of practical applications that include sensors, highly efficient solar panels and electronic components.
"A big frontier for the field of nanoscience is in finding ways to make what we can do on the nanoscale impact our everyday activities," Hauge said. "For the use of carbon nanotubes in devices that can change the way we do things, a straightforward and scalable way of patterning aligned carbon nanotubes over any surface and in any pattern is a major advance."
Pint said an afternoon of "experimenting with creative ideas" as a first-year graduate student turned into a project that held his interest through his time at Rice. "I realized early on it may be useful to transfer carbon nanotubes to other surfaces," he said.
"I started playing around with water vapor to clean up the amorphous carbons on the nanotubes. When I pulled out a sample, I noticed the nanotubes actually stuck to the tweezers.
"I thought to myself, 'That's really interesting …'"
Water turns out to be the key. After growing the nanotubes, Pint etches them with a mix of hydrogen gas and water vapor, which weakens the chemical bonds between the tubes and the metal catalyst. When stamped, the nanotubes lie down and adhere, via van der Waals, to the new surface, leaving all traces of the catalyst behind.
Pint, who hopes to defend his dissertation in August, developed a steady enough hand to deposit nanotubes on a range of surfaces "" "anything I could lay my hands on" "" in patterns that could easily be replicated and certainly enhanced by industrial processes. A striking example of his work is a crisscross film of nanotubes made by stamping one set of lines onto a surface and then reusing the catalyst to grow more tubes and stamping them again over the first pattern at a 90-degree angle. The process took no more than 15 minutes.
"I'll be honest "" that was a little bit of luck, combined with the skill of having done this for a few years," he said of the miniature work of art. "But if I were in industry, I would make a machine to do this for me."
Pint believes industries will take a hard look at the technique, which he said could be scaled up easily, for embedding nanotube circuitry into electronic devices.
His own goal is to develop the process to make a range of highly efficient sensing devices. He's also investigating doping techniques that will take the guesswork out of growing metallic (conducting) or semiconducting SWNTs.

NASA Discovers Youngest Black Hole Neighboring Earth
NASA announced on Monday that its Chandra X-ray Observatory has discovered the youngest black hole known to exist in our cosmic neighborhood.
The 30-year-old black hole, known as Supernova 1979C (SN 1979C), is about 51 million light years from Earth and occurred in galaxy M-100. Chandra has revealed a bright source of X-rays that has remained steady during observation from 1995 to 2007. This data suggests that the object is a black hole being fed either by material falling into it from the supernova or a binary companion.
"If our interpretation is correct, this is the nearest example where the birth of a black hole has been observed," said Daniel Patnaude of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass. who led the study.
The scientists believe that SN 1979C formed when a star about 20 times more massive than the sun collapsed.
Many black holes are thought to form because of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, SN 1979C is different because it belongs to a class of supernovas unlikely to be associated with a GRB.
SN1979C was a supernova type 2 linear, which is rare subclass of core-collapse supernova. This type of supernova results from the internal collapse and violent explosion of a massive star. A star must have at least 9 times the mass of the Sun in order to undergo this type of core-collapse.
"Only a small fraction of them probably produce black holes in their center," said Alex Filippenko, an astrophysicist from the University of Berkley.
NASA said at a press conference on Monday that they know of several dozen black holes in our Milky Way galaxy, but they do not know the ages.
NASA said that SN 1979C is the nearest example where the birth of a black hole has been observed.
"This may be the first time the common way of making a black hole has been observed," said co-author Abraham Loeb, also of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. "However, it is very difficult to detect this type of black hole birth because decades of X-ray observations are needed to make the case."
It is also a possibility that SN 1979C is a young neutron star with a powerful wind of higher energy particles. This would make SN 1979C the youngest and brightest example of such a "pulsar wind nebula" and the youngest known neutron star. The Crab pulsar is about 950 years old.
"It's very rewarding to see how the commitment of some of the most advanced telescopes in space, like Chandra, can help complete the story," said Jon Morse, head of the Astrophysics Division at NASA's Science Mission Directorate.

Chicana Sexuality and Gender: Cultural Refiguring in Literature, Oral History, and Art.
Latinos and the U.S. South, by Jose Maria Mantero. London, Praeger, 2008. xxvi, 283 pp. $49.95 US (cloth).
Rooted in Chicano/a studies and feminist studies, Debra J. Blake's Chicana Sexuality and Gender can best be understood as a history of ideas concentrating on 1965 to the present. Blake primarily examines work by Chicana writers and artists, but seeks to make connections to the ideas and lives of ordinary Mexican women living in the US. Her book offers a long consideration of writers such as Cherrie Moraga, Gloria Anzaldua, and Sandra Cisneros; only later chapters offer substantial evidence from nine historias (or oral histories) that the author gathered from less well-known women. The resulting analysis is mostly strained as Blake "pursues the relevancy of the revised Mexican female cultural symbols" (p. 220).
This is an overtly ideological work that assumes that the Chicano movement and the Catholic Church have subjugated women. Blake is much taken by the centrality of traditional and historic figures in Chicana arts and letters, including Mexica goddesses, such as Malintzin/La Malinche and La Llorona, who are "refigured" as symbols of feminine power. These iconic figures, she finds, are seldom familiar to her working-class and semiprofessional interviewees, though related themes emerge in the stories they tell. Instead, the oral histories, unsurprisingly, reference the Virgin of Guadalupe/Virgin Mary. Across this disparate source base, Blake looks for Chicanas' efforts toward self-definition and self-empowerment, individually or as a community. Eventually what emerges is that the Chicana intellectuals stand at a significant remove from their communities of origin.
The book offers little novel analysis for scholars. Historians will find the book lacking for its loose sense of chronological change and its free-wheeling methodology. Blake's book suffers from an odd organizational scheme. For example, she delves into the methodology of her oral histories only in the final chapter. While the study is transnational in substance, Blake often seems unaware of the changes that have unfolded in Mexican gender and social history in recent decades. For example, the rapid decline in birthrates, the rise in women's education, and the changing religious landscape in Mexico certainly affect the world of Mexican women in the US. The book may offer a reasonable overview of Chicano/a themes for undergraduates, yet students may find the book hard going if unfamiliar with the texts under discussion. Duke University Press should be commended for including ample illustrations, which bring many images and art works to the fore.
Historians may have similarly mixed feelings about Jose Maria Mantero's Latinos and the U.S. South, which appears to be motivated by a desire to document and explain the tremendous growth of a Latino population in the United States South, a relatively insular region until recently. Yet the author is compelled to offer something more; he devotes much of the book to "a panoramic perspective of parallels between the US South and the Latino cultures, including the past and present Latin American nations" (p. xxvi). The multiple goals result in a frustrating study that often defies logical analysis.
Mantero, a professor of literature, takes Flannery O'Connor's story, "The Displaced Person," as a central trope in the book. He offers a solid analysis of this 1950s tale, which foreshadows many of the labour, power, and cultural issues that Southerners face today with the newest waves of immigrants. The book overall is eclectic in its method, relying heavily on analysis of press pieces, secondary scholarship, and personal observations.
Certainly, the story of the movement of Latin American immigrants into the US South, urban and rural, is an important and telling one. Research on this phenomena of the past twenty years from the perspective of native southerners, both black and white, and Latinos will be crucial. Mantero, however, does not provide much new in this area. Much of the book rehashes national polemics (for example, voices such as the late Samuel P. Huntington and Univision anchorperson Jorge Ramos), but fails to document how debates on language, law, and labour have evolved in the crucible of the South. When Mantero does offer evidence from his travels in southern locales, his observations tend to be superficial. He relies heavily on educated Latino middle-class intermediaries and hesitates to engage with the working-poor majority.
The book, seemingly about Latin American immigrants, may be more interesting as a reflection upon the US South, past and present. Mantero, for example, offers a review of the literature on the colonial South and an extended discussion of W.J. Cash's seminal history of ideas, The Mind of the South (1940). He often stresses that the US South and Latin America share a history of oppression and marginalization. His conclusions are often questionable. Mantero, for example, concludes on a sunny note that "the 'commonalities' between the immense variety of Latino cultures and southern populations ... will not only draw the communities closer together; they will speak to the future of the United States as a vibrant, polychromatic land" (pp. 238-39). The 2009 report by the Southern Poverty Law Centre suggests a less promising situation, namely a tense and disturbing set of encounters between Southemers and the new arrivals. For a focused and methodologically grounded analysis of the Latino experience in the South, readers would do well to consult Leon Fink's The Maya of Morganton (2003), or journalist Paul Cuadros's At Home on the Field (2006).

The deputy leader of the Southern African Development Community's (SADC) Parliamentary Forum poll observer mission says Malawi's Electoral Commission has assured the group it has made adequate preparations to administer the country's first tripartite elections on Tuesday.
The SADC parliamentary forum poll observers comprise parliamentarians from the Southern African region. Situmbeko Musokotwane says prospective Malawian voters have peacefully conducted themselves during the campaign period before the presidential, parliamentary and local elections.
Malawians go to the polls Tuesday to choose their leaders in a poll in which a candidate would be declared winner by garnering a simple aggregate majority of the total votes cast, in accordance with the country's electoral law.
"Since we came it has been quiet, very peaceful," said Musokotwane. "The Malawi Electoral Commission they have told us in a briefing last week that they have everything in place. That would have to be tested today and tomorrow because that is when we expect the voting materials to be arriving at the voting stations. But so far, they indicated to us that everything is under control."
The SADC parliamentary poll observer group has been to both the rural and urban areas as part of its mission to monitor political activities leading up to the Tuesday elections. Musokotwane says members of the group have yet to observe cases of violence.
"I have not even seen anyone pointing finger at another candidate or wagging a finger or taunting them, nothing. So it's very peaceful," said Musokotwane. "The campaigning themselves from what we have been seeing are extremely quiet. Of course the rallies are a very jubilant place. There is lots of music, lots of dancing and lots of performances, but it has been extremely peaceful."
Musokotwane is hopeful there would be no violence during Tuesday's election based on the way Malawians have conducted themselves during the campaigning period.
He says the poll monitoring group has met with stakeholders including civil society groups, NGOs, diplomatic missions and Malawi's academia as part of its mission. Musokotwane some of the groups expressed concern about preparations leading up to the vote. He says some of the stakeholders appear to be satisfied with the level of preparations ahead of the vote.
"Of course like everywhere else, now and then there were accusations of wrong doing, which of course were not verified. We encouraged people when they see wrongdoing to report to the Malawi Electoral Commission," said Musokotwane.
"The civil society groups said they are reasonably comfortable that everything is running well. Again of course they expressed concerns here and there," said Musokotwane. "Once again we encouraged them to speak to the Malawi Electoral Commission or if they have direct evidence ... to share that with us, which we shall be very happy to pass on to the Malawi Electoral Commission."

Late-Night Comedy is Election Winner
By Donna Freydkin
As Election Day looms, late-night comedy shows are wrapping up their campaign coverage in high style.
Though Republican candidate John McCain's turn last weekend on NBC's Saturday Night Live doesn't look to surpass running mate Sarah Palin's 15 million audience two weeks ago, it's the second-highest-rated episode in 11 years in preliminary Nielsen figures. (Final numbers are due Thursday.)
But McCain, unlike Palin, was fully involved in the comedy. He hawked QVC souvenirs alongside Tina Fey's Palin in the opening sketch, including commemorative plates and knives, "Joe" action figures and "fine-gold" jewelry with the help of wife Cindy.
And in the Weekend Update segment, he floated potential last-minute strategies such as the "double maverick, where I'd go totally berserk and freak everybody out, even the regular mavericks."
"For the last eight months everyone's been completely — I won't say obsessed — but fascinated by (the election). Every little turn is reported," says SNL executive producer Lorne Michaels. "We just caught the break that the country has been this focused. We were in perfect harmony with the audience. Interest has never waned."
Tonight, NBC airs its two-hour taped Saturday Night Live Presidential Bash (9 ET/PT), featuring skits from stars including Amy Poehler and Jason Sudeikis, as well as classic clips from past campaigns.
Then Tuesday, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert co-anchor Comedy Central's hour-long election night special, Indecision 2008 (10 ET/PT). "We're going to have our election spooktacular — it's the scariest election of all time," Colbert says.
A visit from Democrat Barack Obama helped Stewart's Daily Show earn its highest ratings, 3.6 million viewers, last week. The Colbert Report followed with a record 2.4 million of its own as Colbert's conservative screen persona shockingly endorsed Obama. October was the most-watched month ever for both.
"It's most fun when there's a single story that the audience knows about and cares about," Colbert says. "I want this thing to come to a head. At this point, I want the election to happen."
The halo extends beyond the shows. Comedy Central posted its highest prime-time viewership in October; Fey's numerous Palin appearances helped kick off Season 3 of her Emmy-winning sitcom, 30 Rock, with a record high 8.5 million viewers Thursday.
And after the election? No matter who ends up in the White House, Colbert and Colbert are ready to mock. "Whatever's happening, we respond to," he says. (c) Copyright 2008 USA TODAY, a division of Gannett Co. Inc. <>>

Blue Jays 6, Rangers 1
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP)
Toronto Blue Jays knuckleballer R.A. Dickey was feeling a bit nostalgic even without his best stuff. Adam Lind and Colby Rasmus just hit the ball hard.
Lind and Rasmus both hit two-run homers while Dickey worked into the sixth inning against his original team, as the Blue Jays stretched their winning streak to four games with a 6-1 victory over the Texas Rangers on Saturday.
''This was a game when I didn't have my best knuckleball. I had a good enough one to survive the outing, but not much more,'' Dickey said.
It was in Texas eight years ago that Dickey started using the knuckleball as his primary pitch. He won the NL Cy Young Award last year pitching for the New York Mets, and is having an up-and-down first season with the Blue Jays.
Though he allowed 10 base runners (seven singles and three walks), Dickey allowed only one run over 5 2-3 innings.
''Even when he's not at his best, he competes,'' manager John Gibbons said. ''He battled, got out of some jams.''
Even with the unexpected early return of second baseman Ian Kinsler from his rehabilitation assignment, the Rangers' season-long losing streak reached five games. All of those losses are at home, and they've dropped 10 of 14 overall to fall out of first place in the AL West.
They have scored only six runs the past five games, and were 1 for 13 with runners in scoring position Saturday.
''It's just simple baseball, getting base hits with runners in scoring position,'' manager Ron Washington said. ''It's not just one part of the batting order. It's up and down the lineup. We gave ourselves more opportunities today than we have in the last week or so.''
Lind put the Blue Jays ahead to stay in the first, when his seventh homer of the season ricocheted high off pole down the right field line. Rasmus hit his 12th homer, and second in two games, in the fourth to make it 4-0.
Those homers accounted for all four runs off Josh Lindblom (0-2), who went six innings on his 26th birthday. The right-hander struck out two in his third start in place of injured Alexi Ogando.
Dickey (6-8) struck out three against the team that took him in the first round of the 1996 draft, and later determined that the right-hander was missing a ligament in his right elbow.
''It's somewhat nostalgic to come back here,'' said Dickey, who also won his only other start at Rangers Ballpark as an opponent, in 2008 with Seattle. ''This is where the discovery about the absence of the ligament was made, this is where I started my knuckleball career. I have a lot of great memories here, and a lot of tough memories here.''
Texas, which lost 8-0 on Friday night, ended a 21-inning scoring drought in the sixth. Nelson Cruz and David Murphy had consecutive bloop singles before Chris McGuiness grounded a hit through the right side of the infield. Cruz scored when Leonys Martin beat out a potential inning-ending double-play grounder.
Martin was 3 for 4, getting the RBI on the only at-bat he didn't get a hit.
His fielder's choice ended Dickey's day and the longest scoreless streak by the Rangers since 25 innings in a row without a run in September 2009, also the last time they lost five games in a row at home.
Texas also had the bases loaded in the fourth before McGuiness struck out to end the inning. There were two runners on with no outs in the fifth before Dickey retired the Nos. 2-4 hitters in order.
''We got (Dickey) in trouble a few times. He got out of it,'' Washington said. ''Some of it was him, but most of it was us.''
Kinsler, out since May 18 with a ribcage injury, was supposed to stay at Double-A Frisco for at least three games and not expected back before Sunday at the earliest. That changed when after an 11-inning game on Friday night, he declared himself healthy and ready to rejoin the team - even after going 0 for 8 with a walk in the two rehab games.
Texas had a 6 1-2-game lead in the AL West when Kinsler got hurt, but then went 11-14 without the three-time All-Star.
''I was a little off early, but I felt like I had a good at-bat the last at-bat. My timing felt good,'' Kinsler said. ''My legs didn't hurt, so there's no reason why I can't move and play defense.''
While he was 0 for 4 with a walk Saturday, Kinsler was involved in a couple of highlight-worthy defensive plays that ended innings without him even. putting his hand on the ball.
When Lindblom deflected Josh Thole's high hopper, Kinsler scooped the ball with his glove and to first base in one motion to end the fourth. An inning later, Kinlser went toward to middle to glove Melky Cabrera's grounder and was stumbling when he pushed the ball toward shortstop Elvis Andrus, who made a nice catch and pivot of his own to complete a double play.
Notes: Blue Jays left-hander Brett Cecil got out all four batters he faced, stretching his scoreless streak to 16 innings. He has retired 24 batters in a row. ... Toronto's win evened the all-time series between the teams to 195-195. ... Blue Jays SS Jose Reyes, out since April 12 because of a sprained ankle, is expected to begin an injury rehabilitation assignment with Class A Dunedin on Monday. He went through a second simulated game in Florida on Saturday, going 2 for 2 with a triple and two walks. ... Rangers 1B Mitch Moreland, rehabbing a right hamstring strain, is expected to play some games for Frisco this week. He is on track to come off the DL when eligible Friday.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It has been nearly two years since Citigroup (C - Get Report) decided to do a 10-for-1 reverse stock split, but it is still a sore point for Citigroup's long-time shareholders.
At the bank's annual meeting in New York on Wednesday, shareholders repeatedly urged management to consider a stock split, a move they hope would restore the money they believe they lost as a result of the reverse stock split.
One particularly irate shareholder clamoring for the 10-for-1 stock split claimed to have lost more than $1.5 million as a Citigroup shareholder of more than 30 years. "You guys know what the price of the stock is. It is the same price when we did the reverse split. This stock has to reach $600 for me to break even. Bring it down to $4.65 and then maybe it can climb back up to $60."
However, CEO Michael Corbat and Chairman Mike O'Neill said they backed the reverse-split move. While they remained focused on bringing the share price above tangible book value, the bank won't consider "splitting our way to prosperity," O'Neill said."This

A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
"Oh well"? Oh well, the affecting style that made them the most imaginative revivalists of their generation has been replaced by half-assed and half-hearted prog rock. Oh well, the pair of blues tunes here ("300 M.P.H. Torrential Outpour Blues" and "Catch Hell Blues") have such an awkward gait they actually feel like they're played by obligated divorcees. Oh well, it sounds like Jack wrote these songs in five minutes and Meg learned them in three. Oh well, the mere fact of being the White Stripes has spoiled the very thing that once made them saviors.
But unless they're saving the army of Candy Children from a deficiency of Bad Company, tunes like "You Don't Know What Love Is (You Just Do What You're Told)" and "Effect & Cause" don't reinvent the wheel so much as hastily retread it. Owing much to young Ozzy ("Icky Thump"), old Ozzy ("Little Cream Soda"), and Humble Pie ("I'm Slowly Turning Into You"), the rest of Thump 's character seems just as lazily borrowed. What's worse, the scraps of originalitythe bullfighting, trumpet-backed fanfare of "Conquest" and the two-part bagpipe jig "Prickly Thorn, but Sweetly Worn/St. Andrew (The Battle Is in the Air)"are simply absurd.
Which leaves "Rag and Bone," a half-song/half-skit wherein Meg and Jack talk about ransacking a vast, cluttered room in a sprawling mansion. Jack admits the motive ("Make some money out of 'em, at least!"); "This fits me perfect," Meg answers in a greedy whisper. They don't notice that they're still standing in the same little room they once built, but it's just become too icky to recognize. Oh well.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Cute idea for Save the Date
We got the Classic Magnet version of this Save-the-Date. We wanted to get something light-hearted so were happy to find this online; especially given the limited number of Indian-themed items on the market. The customer service and process were great and very easy; just be sure to approve your design before ordering because they do NOT send you a proof after that time unless you leave them a note after customizing your item. I just wish that either the magnets were bigger or the editable area was larger. Some of the font was much smaller than I had hoped. Overall, I am still happy with my decision to use these. Our friends and family think they are hilarious!
Just what I was looking for
My weddin is inspired on an Indian theme. Thus fits the theme without being too literal. The customized colors came out just like I wanted. As long as you read and understand the time it takes for production, the service is great. Once it was made delivery was really quick. Also received them with free samples to help with ordering invitations. Already getting compliments on the save the dates .
So Excited!
These Mehndi Save-the-Date magnets are perfect---simple, traditional but personal for South Asian Indian wedding and a glimpse of what is to come without anything too over-personalized (like pic's of us)
Awesome Magnets
I always love the designs and work from Street Magnets....They are always prepared quickly and shipped right out. I was very happy with my purchase!!!
Magnetstreet is an amazing company to work with. They're fast, easy to use, and my save the dates and wedding invitations came out perfectly. I am definitely recommending them to friends and family. Thanks magnetstreet!!

I pulled off the agitator and realized that the coupler was freespinning, it should not do that. I then removed the bolt on top then removed coupler, it was stripped. Got the part number which is on the coupler itself and ordered a new one. Which by the way a newer style is now the oem replacement. Got the new one installed now it is good as new.

Portneuf Medical Center Has Made History in Eastern Idaho Performing the First Closed Chest Aortic Valve Replacement Surgery
First "TAVR" Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in Eastern Idaho is performed to provide treatment for Aortic Stenosis. It is the first time to ever to be performed in Eastern Idaho.
Pocatello, Idaho (PRWEB) July 31, 2013
Portneuf Medical Center has become the first hospital in Eastern Idaho to offer a new FDA-approved procedure to treat severe aortic stenosis (narrowing of aortic valve opening) by replacing the aortic valve with a prosthetic valve, without the need for open heart surgery.
Called transcatheter aortic valve replacement, or TAVR, this minimally invasive treatment offers new hope for high-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis in need of life-saving valve replacement surgery.
Our first TAVR procedure was performed at Portneuf Medical Center on July 17th. Since then, four other patients have been treated, with more to follow.
TAVR involves a multidisciplinary team led by Dr. Jacob DeLaRosa, chief of heart surgery and Dr. Fernando Grigera, chief of Interventional cardiology who are valve specialists, working closely together, along with echocardiographer, anesthesiologist, and pre- and post-operative care providers.
The surgeons who took part in the first procedure here were Jacob DeLaRosa, MD; Fernando Grigera, MD; Julio Vasquez, MD; David Gonzales, MD; Juan Leon, MD; Benjamin Call, MD; Lance Longmore, DO and several cardiac and vascular specialists that comprise the Heart Valve team.
Aortic stenosis is now the most frequently diagnosed heart valve disease. It is a potentially life-threatening condition, with a long latency period followed by rapid progression after the appearance of symptoms. Left untreated, 50% of patients with aortic stenosis die within two years of having symptoms.
For high-risk patients, a less invasive treatment has been long sought and, finally, the technology to achieve it has been developed, making this life-saving treatment now possible for these patients.
Portneuf Medical Center is now one of a select number of sites in the United States and the only center in Eastern Idaho to offer TAVR that uses the Edwards SAPIEN transcatheter heart valve.
This innovative procedure delivers a replacement valve via catheter (thin tube) while the heart is still beating (see video of procedure).
If you are a patient or someone you know suffers with severe aortic stenosis, or if you are a physician caring for a patient with this condition who could benefit from further evaluation, please call 208-239-2580 (Valve Center) to make an appointment, or to obtain more information about our TAVR program from our heart valve coordinator.

Since another of Brecht's major musical collaborators was a composer named Dessau, you might say that the ironies and confusions around Weill began at his birth. But Paul Dessau did not write the tune of "Mack the Knife"nor, for that matter, did Bertolt Brecht, though in later life he enjoyed hinting he'd had a hand in it. That sums up, in a way, the struggle Weill's had establishing his reputation: His tremendous force and originality as a composer were only equalled by his ability to subsume himself, as any theater artist must, in the collaborative act. He changed the face of theater music, and permanently altered the way we think about music in general, but people still think first of "Brecht and Weill." And yet he wrote with over 25 other lyricists, an astonishing array that includes everyone from Cocteau and Hughes to the Berlin cabarettist Walter Mehring and the Tin Pan Alley scribbler Sam Coslow. Brecht's may be the most lasting theatrical voice among Weill's librettists, but the othersGeorg Kaiser, Franz Werfel, Jacques Deval, Maxwell Anderson, Alan Jay Lernermake up a list from which you could easily build a course on the modern history of the popular stage. Wherever you go in music theater, from mass spectacle to surrealist caprice, Weill was there ahead of you, humanizing the didactic and bringing depth to the divertissement. "He was an architect," Virgil Thomson wrote when he died, "a master of musico-dramatic design, whose works, built for function and solidity, constitute a repertory of models." And he did it all in 50 years: The centennial of Weill's birth is also the 50th anniversary of his death (April 3, 1950, of heart failure). The ongoing celebration of his work is both a birthday party and a memorial.
Which is appropriate, because one reason Weill's career now looms so large in retrospect is that he himself appears as a model of sorts: the composer who survived everything. Born into the Wilhelmine Empire at its ostentatious peak, he lasted long enough to see the atom bomb and the Cold War. A principal target of the Nazi campaign against "degenerate art," he had to relearn theater practice and backstage jargon in three foreign countries and Hollywood to boot. His catalog teems with missing and unexplained items: One reason commentators wax pompous about "the two Kurt Weills" is that in America he downplayed some of his German achievements, under the impression that the scores had been irrecoverably destroyed by the Nazis; it isn't every tunesmith who gets personally singled out by Hitler as "a menace to Aryan culture." Two Weills? The miracle is that we have one. Besides, given the range of his creative personality and the number of situations in which he worked, the number is more like six.
And this, too, is part of what makes Weill the quintessential modern musician. His is the art of a man who saw that no institution was permanent, that instability was the structural center of modern life. A lover of Bach and Mozart, Busoni's prize pupil, he was educated to carry on the German classical tradition in symphony and opera; instead, he disrupted it with tango recordings, Dada libretti, and knotty, polytonal scoring. The final blow to his career in the traditional forms was Brecht, whose poetry lured him to attempt, through the marriage of cabaret and classical expectations, a political disruption to match the aesthetic one for which he was already becoming notorious. Commissioned to compose a chamber opera, he obliged with a plotless "songplay" (Songspiel) made of six poems linked by orchestral interludes. When he and Brecht built it into a full three-act opera, Mahagonny, the evening opened with a truck driving onstage. And when the word "opera" actually appeared in the title of a Brecht-Weill work, it played in an ordinary theater and had in its principal roles an operetta tenor, a singing actress, a cabaret diseuse, and a dancer whom nobody but Weill thought could sing at alluntil opening night made Lotte Lenya the toast of Berlin and, soon after, the definitive performer of Weill's songs.
The Threepenny Opera, a work that can feel at home anywhere from dark subbasements to vast amphitheaters (including opera houses), is the unlocalized locus classicus of Weill's brilliant indeterminacy. Its form is as hard to pin down as its setting, which would be London at the time of Queen Victoria's coronation (1837), except for the 1890s costumes and Kipling quotations, the passages drawn from the work's 1728 source (John Gay's The Beggar's Opera), and the intermittent lapses into 1920s Berlin slang usage. Weill's score moves from scraps of realized folk song through long verse-and-chorus ballads to extended choral finales that are meant to remind you of Bach. And it's all orchestrated for a peculiar combination of instruments that happened to belong to one of Berlin's more popular dance bands.

by Budweiser Clydesdale Blog Staff | Jan 14, 2014
Are you ready for some football?
The infamous line came to mind on the sunny afternoon of Friday, December 27, 2013 as the World Famous Budweiser Clydesdales had the prestigious honor of parading at the 2013 Military Bowl held at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium in Annapolis, MD. This special day marked the first time the Military Bowl was held in the state capital and was made even more extraordinary when the magnificent gentle giants marched gracefully ahead of the parade.
Jack Lengyel, who was head coach in 1971 for Marshall and was played by Matthew McConaughey in the movie "We Are Marshall", rode on the wagon as the Budweiser Clydesdale hitch led the parade down the sunlit streets of Annapolis. The rhythmic clip-clopping of the beloved draft horses along with the energetic sounds of animated performers, cheerleaders, and featured bands created a lively experience for all those that gathered.
Maryland and Marshall fans came out to cheer on their teams, but before the game, they lined the streets and formed an enthusiastic sea of green, red and gold. No matter what side they were on, everyone was excited to see the Budweiser Clydesdales marching down the streets from downtown to the stadium. The cheers, applause, and smiling faces of the crowd let the cherished Clydesdale horses know just how much they are loved.
After the parade, the Clydesdales stayed on display so everyone could come get a closer look and talk to handlers about the majestic horses. The handlers happily answered questions about feeding, horse grooming, exercise, and play time, but of course the favorite question from the crowd was "Which one kicked the football in the commercial?"—just another way the Budweiser Clydesdales bring smiles to everyone's faces!

Former Manchester United and AC Milan winger Jesper Blomqvist says new England manager Fabio Capello's temper is nothing compared to Sir Alex Ferguson's.
The Swede, 33, said: "Capello is a really tough guy. He is not afraid to take people on. It is basically his way or you are out.
"Saying players will fear him is a bit strong. Capello can be fiery but he's not as forceful as Fergie."
But Blomqvist warned midfield stars Steven Gerrard and Frank Lampard that Capello will have no hesitation axing them if they fail as a pairing. He added: "If Capello feels they will not fit together then he will not persevere with them. He will take the one who he feels improves the team most and the other will be on the bench."

Batman: Arkham Origins – Cold, Cold Heart DLC
It has taken a long time, three games in fact, but Batman has finally received some more substantial downloadable content than a handful of Challenge maps.
Building story downloadable content for the Batman: Arkham series was something that Rocksteady had shied away from, instead cramming their games full of the villains that have haunted Batman since Bob Kane first created the caped crusader way back in 1939.
WB Montreal took a different approach, shipping in some of the DC Universe's other nasty characters to trouble Batman in his second Christmas as Gotham's protector. This meant that some of his most iconic opponents were left out in the cold.
One character that has always featured heavily in the Batman games is Mr Freeze and it seems only fitting that it is his tragic story that becomes the focus of the first ever story DLC for the Batman: Arkham series.
Set barely one month after the events of the main story of Batman: Arkham Origins, Cold, Cold Heart begins when Penguin's thugs gatecrash an awards ceremony at Wayne Mansion armed with some pretty hefty cryogenic weaponry.
Bruce must battle his way down to the Batcave, that still bears the scars of the events of the end of Batman: Arkham Origins only to return to the mansion to find that the thugs have torched the place and taken one of the award-winners and boss of GothCorp, Ferris Boyle, hostage.
Given the new cryogenic weaponry Batman gets Alfred to warm up his new toy, the new Extreme Environment XE Batsuit while he begins following the trail in south Gotham. Bizarrely Alfred notes that the glue from Batman's Glue Grenade has expired dropping them out of his utility belt. The XE Suit also comes with new Thermal Gloves which replace the Electro-Gloves that he poached from the Electrocutioner.
The XE Suit is definitely functional but it very much feels like a means to an end in order to introduce some slightly varied gameplay mechanics rather than a cool new toy in its own right.
Story-wise, it's not too bad either but it rarely comes alive. While it plays almost identically to the main game the it feels fairly short and the feature set-pieces are far less memorable. There are just no moments like the halucinogen-tinged fight with Copperhead or the unceremonious end of the Electrocutioner.
Sadly, the hallmark of the Batman games is the memorable moments like the nightmarish Scarecrow sequences in Arkham Asylum or the intense encounter with Ras Al-Ghuul in Arkham City. These are the moments that stick with us and while it's an entertaining diversion, Cold, Cold Heart lacks a defining moment that stays with you.
Cold, Cold Heart was a brave move from Warner Bros Montreal given how horrendously hard their job has been living up to Rocksteady's legacy. Unfortunately, while it definitely has a heart, however cold, it lacks the soul that defines the rest of the series.
Cold, Cold Heart is available now to download on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 either on its own or as part of the Batman: Arkham Origins season pass.

WEST UNION - An eight-month undercover investigation has led to the indictment of 27 people in Adams County Monday on a variety of felony drug charges.
But none of those indicted by the grand jury were arrested and jailed.
Instead, according to Sheriff Kimmy Rogers, there were summons to court to face their charges.
Sheriff Rogers said the drug indictments, based on information gathered by his Criminal Investigations Unit, were part of his office's ongoing investigation into drug activity in Adams County.
"Our detectives conducted the covert investigations at various locations throughout the county," he said, that resulted in Prosecutor David Kelley presenting a number of cases for grand jury review.
Sheriff Rogers said 10 lived outside of the county and remain at large. It was not known by presstime if those 10 had been served. The following were the 17 from Adams County of those 27 indicted and summoned to court;
Claude Clifford for Trafficking in Drugs
2. Victor Pence for Trafficking in Marijuana
3. Wesley Simpson for Illegal Manufacturing of Drugs
4. Corey Tackett for Possession of Heroin and Trafficking in Heroin
5. Heather Grooms for Trafficking in Heroin
6. Brady Hull for Trafficking in Drugs
7. Kriss Lacy for Possession of Heroin
8. Shannon Ratermann for Trafficking in Heroin
9. Tara Shelton for Possession of Heroin
10. Dave Adams for Trafficking in Marijuana
11. Penny Collins for Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs (2) and Permitting Drug Abuse
12. Jeffrey L. Ingram for Aggravated Trafficking in drugs with specification
13. Donald Crase for Weapons under disability with specification, Trafficking in Marijuana with specification, and Cultivation of Marijuana with specification
14. Mary Williams for Theft of Dangerous Drugs
15. Michael Collins for Aggravated Trafficking in Drugs (2)
16. Holly Carter for Possession of Heroin
17. Zachary McKee for Possession of Heroin
Sheriff Rogers said the reason none of the 27 indicted on the felony drug charges were handed a summons to appear in courtr rather than arrested was because "we had nowhere to put any of them if we had arrested them."
He said that on Tuesday, there were 55 inmates in the county jail, 17 women and 38 men. The jail's listed capacity is 38.
"We pretty much stay over capacity all the time," Sheriff Rogers said. "It is an inconvenience, but we just have to deal with it." He said there has been little discussion of building a new jail because "We are just not financially capable of building a new jail."
He said that if his deputies had arrested any of the 27 people indicted this week on the drug charges, the only other option would have been to house them in a jail in another county.
"At $60 a day, per person, that would be $1,620 to house those people in another jail - each day. We can't afford that, either," he said.
Many of those summonsed to court were scheduled to appear on Tuesday before Common Please Court Judge ,,, ,,,,
The investigation remains on going. Further cases may be presented at a later date, according to Sheriff Rogers.

Excerpt from Q&A: What False Advertising and Trademark Plaintiffs Need to Know Following Landmark eBay Decision
The Supreme Court's 2006 landmark decision in eBay changed the landscape regarding injunctive relief in patent cases, where injunctive relief had long been the norm. Attorneys who deal with advertising issues need to understand how eBay has also changed the landscape for advertising litigation.
This week our newsletter editors asked Manatt partner Tom Morrison – a nationally renowned false advertising and trademark litigator – about the impact of eBay on false advertising and trademark cases, and what companies need to do to secure injunctive relief in these cases.
Editors: What precisely happened in eBay?

Testi: Herbie Sykes | Data:
Valetti and Bartali under a blizzard on the Rolle, 1939. Coppi's ambush of Koblet on the Stelvio in '53. Then Massignan and Gaul, Coletto, Nencini and Anquetil on the Gavia in 1960, arguably the greatest of them all. Arguably the murkiest was Gimondi, seven years later. When he went on the Passo Tonale the rest – the "holy alliance" of Motta and Balmamion, Anquetil and Aimar – simply sat up. The fiftieth anniversary Giro had its Italian winner after all, as Salvarani won what amounted to a sealed bids auction. Merckx in extremis on Tre Cime, De Muynck smashed to pieces on the Zambla.

Phoenix1983, Your hate against me makes me tired. You don't have any serious arguments and neglect all arguments I and others have given you.
You are very nasty that you claim I have a Rosewall agenda in praising Gimeno.
Why do I praise also Nüsslein, Segura and Kovacs f.i., all of them certainly underrated? To push Rosewall too???
Emerson did NOT dominate the amateurs as much as he wanted. In fact he only dominated two years and generally lost many majors he should have won.
Gimeno won an open GS tournament while Emerson failed totally in open era.
Gimeno reached four open era major's SFs, Emerson none.
In your ignorance you not only try to blame Rosewall for not winning Wimbledon (even though you are disproved already) but also cannot imagine what was the reason why Gimeno did not win a pro major. Guess what!!!

Movie Theaters
I'm excited about checking out The Ken, more for the architecture than the movies. Are there any truly indie movie theaters in the area? and my that I mean, any that aren't Landmark Theaters?

Did you mean?Try your search again
Hi I found a place at 335 N Virginia Ct 90802 and another at 5439 E Sorrento Dr 90803. Any advice?
Recommend a good steak/wine/nice dining spot in Red Bluff....downtown would be nice.
are images available of sites 57 and 59?
Hi. I am currently booked in for 1 night at Pismo Beach on a road trip along the california coast in September. Prior to this I am staying in Santa Monica, and after I am staying in Carmel. I have recently been told Pismo has gone 'downhill' and was wondering if this is the case and if so where would be better to stay? Or if that person is talking rubbish and still worth staying there?
Which beach may I able to find seashells? Or are they prohibited to gather? I am thinking of going to Newport Beach. Does anyone know if there are seashells to find? How about Corona Del Mar?
Is it good time to visit mammoth lake in may end?
I've just started a job right in the heart of San Diego - 4th and B street (BOA bldg) and hope some clever locals can give me a few ideas on healthy (not-too-pricey) lunch spots for a veggie. Also, cool hiding spots on the tops of buildings or in tucked away plazas to eat a lunch and escape. When I lived in San Francisco and worked downtown I had a whole slew of hiding spots, mostly public open spaces that few people knew about. Anything like that here? Rooftop lounges with a view, perhaps? Thanks!!!
What important historical places can I visit in one afternoon in Sonora, California?
Hi. I am visiting California for the first time in September. We land in LA, where we are spending 3 nights, then heading to Sand Diego for 3 nights, then driving up the coast to San Francisco, stopping at various locations.
My question is whether people would recommend for us to stop at Palm Springs on our way to San Diego, stay for 1 night instead of one of the Sand Diego nights; therefore the new plan would be 3 nights LA, 1 night palm springs, 2 nights san diego, before heading up the coast.
I would appreciate any opinions or comments.
Hi threr, we are 2 x families with 27 ftRVs...4 days in non elec campsites, any tips on what to do with kids each day and travel distance to activities? Do we leave RVs and get shuttle bus? Bike hire
Hi all. I'll be visiting the park next weekend, 5/15 - 5/17. I'll arrive at night (5/15). I'd like to shoot star trails with a noticeable foreground. I'll then wait for the sunrise of 5/16. During the day time, I'll visit the points of interests. I'd also like to take photos of sunset. On 5/17, I'll visit more points of interests and then head back to LA. I'd be appreciated if you could advise on the locations for 1. star trails; 2. sunrise; and 3. sunset. In addition, please let me know if you have any photography tips in the park. For instance, what time at which location would be possible to create a dramatic shot. Thanks in advance!
Any recommendations would be gratefully received !
Do suggest a mid range Hotel or a B&B for 5 nights - also which area should we stay in?
Me and three friends of mine are going up to death valley in June only for the morning and that night (going to Vegas during the day) so we're bringing good equipment however we want to explore safe caves, so I was wondering if I can get the coordinates to as many as possible.
Hi, I have visited San Francisco a number of times and love the Golden Gate Bridge. I would like an original print from a local or Californian photographer. I would like some suggestions if possible of photographers. I love the style of Ansel Adams, very natural & black and white. Can anyone recommend anyone? I am due to visit San Francisco in August and would like to pick it up then from a gallery or studio but can understand if I would be better buying online from here in the UK.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Just wondering what hikes were doable since it seems that it will be raining right before and possibly during my stay at Yosemite next weekend?? I have a large group and half of us have a half dome permit but I read it's not recommended to do half dome after it rains.
Dear VT members,
I plan to visit LA for a week after my SF trip. The final day of my SF trip, I plan to go to Apple's company store located in Cupertino. While going there shall I hire a car to stop for some (??) important places while travelling to Cupertino?
I am also curious about what you think about continuing to LA by car (with my luggages) from Cupertino, instead of getting back to my hotel in downtown SF to travel to SFO next day for flying to LAX?
Thank you!
What are the public transportation options for Solvang to LAX airport
My family and I (4 of us in total) are looking for some accommodation that is central between San Diego and Los Angeles. We happy to have early morning and drive a few hours each way each day but don't know what is the best place to look at
My husband & I are driving from San Francisco up into the wineries, then to Carmel, Santa Barbara, Long Beach & ending up in San Diego.
1) Can anyone answer me on what the weather will be like from 12th June - 27th June in these areas?
2) Do people dress smartly to eat in restaurants/hotels in the evenings? And what about the day time attire?
3) How's best to get to hotel in San Francisco from International Airport. Bus/Taxis?
Has anyone been to Disneyland in the last few weeks, or days that can tell me if they R2D2 popcorn bucket is still available to purchase at Tomorrowland? Or the R2D2 mug souvenir which you can buy if you order the parfait at Tomorrowland Terrace? I am going during Memorial Week and I don't want to be running around trying to find it and be disappointed only to find out it has been discontinued and no longer available. Please help out a R2D2 fan. Thanks much!
First time flying into LAX. I will be flying into LAX at 8:35 am on Delta and then switching to Hawaiin Air. I have to options for a depart time with Hawaiin; 10:55 am & 1:10 pm. Is the 10:55 am enough time? I will be checking luggage. Thanks.
I live in east Europe and I will visit LA for theme parks, hollywood and beachs, after staying in SF for 2 weeks. From SFO to LAX I will go by plane.
While returning, I either directly fly back from LA to europe, or first fly to SFO and fly from there to europe.
I spend $250 less, flying back from SFO.
I earn 4-5 hours + 1 less flight (and it's hassles), flying back from LA.
Both planes take of at 6 PM.
If I choose SFO path, I have to get to airport before 1PM to get on the plane at 2PM.
If I choose direct flight from SFO, I have to get to airport 4PM at latest.
I have never been to SF or LA, so I appreciate every recommendation.
Thank you soo much.
We like to stroll about quite a bit, Just wondering how safe the area's and bars around the waterfront are?
I live in Europe and will visit SF and LA this summer.
After reading a lot, I decided to do the followings:
- Academy of Sciences
- Exploratorium (thursday night if I can)
- Golden Gate Park
- Presedio Park
- Union Square
- China Town
- Alcatraz
- AT&T park (baseball game)
- Some nice places to eat breakfast, candy, etc.. found with Yelp or Foursquare.
- Lombard Street
- Nob Hill
- Cable cars
- A sightseeing tour or hop-on-hop-off bus (not sure of this line)
- Fisherman's wharf
- Pier 39
- Renting Bike from Fisherman's wharf and passing over Golden Gate Bridge and returning with a ferry ( I am not sure if I can (or have to) visit Presedio with the bike before the bridge. (And/or Golden Gate Park))
- Apple company store (Sunnyvale - caltrain)
- Coit Tower
I have planned 5 days for all of these but I started to think that 5 days are more than I need, to do these. Am I right? What do you recommend?
Thank you!
