Yup. The guy was probably on PCP or any of the other nasty drugs that put you into a dream-like state. There is one drug ('___', a drug that is naturally released in the brain in instances during childbirth and upon death) that actually puts you into a literal walking dream-state. It's one of those things that probably just shouldn't exist. PCP is like that but to a largely lesser degree.

HARRISBURG — Republican Gov. Tom Corbett turned the political tables Friday on Pennsylvania's newly elected attorney general and questioned the sincerity of her pledge to look into how prosecutors handled the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse investigation and why it took so long.
Kathleen Kane, the first woman and first Democrat to be elected to the office, is coming off a campaign in which she beat up on Corbett and soundly beat her Republican opponent whom she had repeatedly called Corbett's hand-picked candidate. She touted herself as the only independent prosecutor in the contest and seized on the passion surrounding the former Penn State assistant coach's case to say she would investigate why it took 33 months to charge Sandusky after the attorney general's office began looking into the case.
Asked about it Friday, Corbett said he never played politics with the investigation, which began under him when he was attorney general. Political adversaries have repeatedly questioned whether Corbett dragged out the investigation to ensure it didn't become public while he was running for governor in 2010 and, in theory, anger Penn State fans or alumni into voting against him.
But he maintained that he never told anyone to slow down the investigation and then he took a shot at Kane.
This is the first investigation I've ever heard of to look into a successful prosecution, and I think the people ought to look at that and say, 'Hmmm, is that investigation political in nature?' Corbett told reporters during a public appearance on a separate subject.
Corbett's comments came a day after he called Kane to congratulate her and brief her on some of the cooperation between his office and the attorney general's office on legal matters. The subject of the investigation didn't come up, Corbett said.

Biermann steps forward as starting DE for Falcons
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP)
Ray Edwards' loss is Kroy Biermann's gain for the Atlanta Falcons.
Biermann took over as a starting defensive end earlier this week after the Falcons cut Edwards, but the move was a bit ceremonial.
Biermann had already started three times at left end ahead Edwards, whose goodwill expired after he managed no sacks in nine games this year and just 3.5 in 16 games last season.
Right end John Abraham, the NFL's active career sacks leader, believes Biermann deserves the job full-time.
''He'll do whatever they want him to do,'' Abraham said. ''He's just a great all-around guy and he has no stipulations about what he will and will not do.''
That didn't seem to be the case with Edwards, who had a combined 16.5 sacks in his last two years before leaving Minnesota as a free agent.
Edwards' inability to fit in, however, no longer concerns tackle Jonathan Babineaux, the longest-tenured Falcons defensive player at eight years.
''You've just got to move on, you know?'' Babineaux said. ''It's unfortunate that the situation happened. I don't know to what extent or why it happened, but I'm a player. I do what I'm told. That's why we have management, GMs and a team president to take care of stuff like that.''
Biermann, who started 14 games in 2010, originally lost the left end job last year when the NFL lockout ended and Atlanta signed Edwards to a contract with $11 million guaranteed.
But after watching Biermann flourish in the scheme designed by first-year defensive coordinator Mike Nolan, the Falcons decided that Edwards was no longer needed in a diminished role.
Biermann, who's never missed a game since getting drafted in the fifth round of '08, is eager to show that he's worthy of the promotion. He has eight tackles for lost yardage and two sacks.
''I approach my job the same every day and that is to come here, work hard, get better and do whatever I can to help this team win,'' Biermann said. ''Being asked to do multiple positions and cover kicks and play the game of football, however I can contribute and help this organization, I'm glad to do it.''
Cliff Matthews and rookie Jonathan Massaquoi also are likely play additional snaps when Atlanta (8-1) hosts Arizona (4-5) on Sunday.
Matthews has earned playing time by making the most of his chances in practice. A seventh-round pick from South Carolina last year, Matthews was inactive for every game as a rookie and has been used sparingly in just four games this season.
Massaquoi, a fifth-round pick from Troy, has been active for just one game. He is listed as the third-string right end with fourth-year veteran Lawrence Sidbury second-string.
''They are all young guys that have not done the job yet,'' Nolan said. ''They are talented young guys. They work well in practice. They've shown the ability to at least get the shot to do the job of playing defensive end. But all three of them are guys that we're hoping to develop, and we've got to start that process at some time so it looks like it will be it.''
Edwards' departure means that the Falcons use a committee to complement Abraham, their only elite pass rusher since left end Patrick Kerney signed with Seattle as a free agent in 2007.
Kerney left Atlanta as the franchise's No. 3 career leader in sacks. The Falcons drafted Jamaal Anderson as his successor, but he never came close to justifying getting drafted eighth overall in 2007.
Anderson managed just 3.5 sacks in four seasons, lost the job to Biermann in Week 2 of 2010 and was cut in training camp last year.
''I really don't worry about who's on my other side so much anymore,'' Abraham said. ''Being 13 years in the league, not having I guess a big-name guy beside really doesn't matter. My teammates here have done a great job and have helped me on the field. I know my main priority is to get to the quarterback so I really don't rationalize about having anyone else around me.''
Now it's Biermann's turn. He has played a variety of roles under Nolan, even lining up deep at safety for snaps that confused quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Michael Vick in wins over Denver and Philadelphia.
''It's been fun and it's something obviously they wouldn't be doing if they didn't feel comfortable,'' Biermann said. ''They're not going to put anybody out there in the position that they're going to make a fool out of them. It was kind of a touch-and-go thing on both sides. They had to feel me out, and I had to feel the scheme out. Things have continued to evolve, and it's been good so far.''

Google Chrome - With Extensions
The other thread needs you to dig around before you can actually find the information about extensions, which should now be enabled by default.
The performance, for comparisons sake, is about the same as default and still miles faster than Firefox.
Here is my current setup.
Current extensions I have running are:
Adthwart - like Ad-block but currently seems more mature than Ad-block on Chrome
OneNumber - allows me to check Gmail, Google Wave, Google Reader and, when I get it, Google voice. Love having just ONE icon instead of multiple ones
ForecastFox - Weather. Mouse over gives a little more detail, click shows entire forecast and radar while never navigating away from the screen. Seems a far better interface than on Firefox. The temperature updates much faster than my desk-top rainmeter application, hence the difference in temps
Smoothscroll - Chrome was not as herky/jerky as FF, but still needed a little help. Smoothscroll with my free-spin mouse is a fantastic little extension
Speeddial - Pictured. Fantastic app as it extends my home-page and now I can have a lot more sites listed as well as allowing a custom backgroun (I went with a snowy scene)

El Dorado Springs was founded in 1881[7] near a natural spring by brothers Nathaniel and Waldo Cruce who attempted to capitalize on the namesake's spring water. The spring water was claimed to have medicinal value, which made El Dorado Springs a destination for tourists and retirees.[citation needed] The spring water, which has a heavy mineral content, was deemed so valuable that the Cruces named the city after the legendary city of gold, El Dorado.
An annual tradition is the Founder's Day Picnic. It began early in the town's existence as an annual gathering for residents of the town. This three-night event has grown to be the largest attraction of the year, bringing thousands of visitors to the town. A carnival has provided rides in recent years, and the city council hires performers to give free concerts in the city park. This upcoming picnic will be the city's 131st.
Residents of El Dorado Springs pronounce the city name "el-doh-RAY-doh springs".
The town is also commonly referred to as El Do.
El Dorado Springs has two schools: the public school and the private Christian school.
2011 Miss Missouri Sydney Friar was born and raised in El Dorado Springs.
El Dorado Springs boasts Missouri's oldest municipal band[8] performing in the United States longest continually used bandstand.[citation needed]

Premium trade market just wasn't there for Bell
"We have to build our talent base up as an organization," Hoyer said. "It's not right now where it needs to be. … I think it would have been irresponsible not to get more young talent."
If Hoyer's recurring theme amounts to an indictment of Kevin Towers' administration, his attention to improving infrastructure at the expense of current performance reflects ownership's willingness to accept short-term setbacks in order to create a more consistent product line. This is a risky proposition in an entertainment business — How, you wonder, do the Padres sell 2012 season tickets? — but at least it's a plan and not perpetual patchwork.
Whether Heath Bell has a place in that plan is unclear. Though the pitcher interpreted Sunday's transactions as a sign Hoyer "really wants to keep me," the net effect was to temporarily table an item on Hoyer's agenda. It doesn't change the Padres' basic payroll predicament or their broader priorities, and it doesn't make it easier to spend a disproportionate amount on a pitcher who has worked 43 1/3 innings in 109 games.
"I think there's a possibility that we can retain him," Hoyer said. "It would be unfair to call it a probability. … (But) As we decide how to allocate dollars on our payroll, I do think the bullpen is very important here. We play more close games than any other team by virtue of the ballpark. That not only makes for a lot of save situations, but it taxes the bullpen. I don't think you can ever lose sight of the bullpen here."
Lip service? Perhaps. Still, a little more than an hour before the trade deadline — between the announcement of the Adams deal and the completion of the Ludwick deal — Hoyer sought out Bell for a chat in the Padres' clubhouse.
"He just asked me, 'Are you open to signing something here? Are you still open to taking a discount?' " Bell said later. "I said, 'Yeah.'
"We're not going to throw something together in the last 60 minutes (before the deadline), but he really wants to keep me. He had deals on the table for me. … He could have pulled the trigger and he decided not to. So maybe we can get something done."
If not, the Padres still have the "protection" of being able to offer Bell salary arbitration and collecting two draft choices if he declines. It is that fallback position that allowed Hoyer the latitude to reject lowball offers for Bell, and to listen more intently to overtures for Adams.
That doesn't mean Heath Bell is here to stay, just that he's still here today. Surprise.

Latest Eutrophication Stories
For the first time, researchers at the University of California, Davis, have demonstrated that forest trees have the ability to tap into nitrogen found in rocks, boosting the trees' growth and their ability to pull more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
Billions of people owe their lives to nitrogen fertilizers — a pillar of the fabled Green Revolution in agriculture that averted global famine in the 20th century — but few are aware that nitrogen pollution from fertilizers and other sources has become a major environmental problem that threatens human health and welfare in multiple ways, a scientist said here today.
Nitrogen pollution in our coastal ecosystems, the result of widespread use of synthetic agricultural fertilizers and of human sewage, leads to decreased water transparency, the loss of desirable fish species, and the emergence of toxic phytoplankton species—such as the algae behind the renowned "red tides" that kill fish.
An international study published today warns that nitrogen pollution, resulting from industry and agriculture, is putting wildlife in Europe's at risk.
Reactive nitrogen compounds from agriculture, transport, and industry lead to increased emissions of the greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (N2O) from forests in Europe.
A major new study finds that nitrogen pollution is costing each person in Europe around £130 - £650 (€150 – €740 Euros) a year.
The growing world population relies on the help of nitrogen for our food supply, yet its very use pollutes the air, soil and water.
Recycling manure is an important practice, especially for large livestock producers.
People who want to eat healthy and live sustainably have a new way to measure their impact on the environment: a Web-based tool that calculates an individual's "nitrogen footprint."
Recalculating the global use of phosphorous, a fertilizer linchpin of modern agriculture, a team of researchers warns that the world's stocks may soon be in short supply and that overuse in the industrialized world has become a leading cause of the pollution of lakes, rivers and streams.

We like to have sweaters for Alarm and Differ in winter. They have really short hair and get cold. The Knit sweaters are really warm and they don't mind at all to wear them. The sweaters was up nice and have lasted a long time.
Pros: well made, affordable, looks good
Cons: hate the leg straps

Teak and Holly Veneer Only?

FWIW in 1987 I used 5/16" teak and holly veneer plywood to cover the sole in the main cabin of our, then, 1976 Cal 2-29. We made a pattern out of brown butcher paper and laid it out on the back of the plywood. After shaping, we then used a mat-knife to score the back side at 2" intervals both fore'n aft and transversely. This allowed the ply to conform to the curvature of the sole without splitting. The material was temporarily held in place with #10 wood screws while we installed #10 flacehead wood screw, counter-sunk so they could be covered with plugs. The rows of screws were approximately 18" apart. We framed around the openings to the bilge, and the covers with 1" by 5/16" teak strips with mitered corners. The plugs were shaved flat with a very sharp small hand plane. The whole surface was roughened with 220 grit paper and covered with 9-10 coats of Minwax Helmsman Semi-gloss urathane and a final coat of the mMinwax Urethane made for hardwood floors which is much more durable. The most difficult part of the job was sculpting 1"x2" moldings around the edges which took a long time as the teak doesn't bend too readily and that was before I knew the trick of making a steam box our of cardboard, foil and foam.
It was a job but the end result was very pleasing. By keeping the deck clean and free of sand, and periodicly scuffing it up and applying a new coat of clear floor vurathane, it looked as new we we sold the boat in 2003.
Below you can see a bit of the sole and the decking on the step at the foot of the companionway (that was not fastened down but served double duty as a table-top in the cockpit).

Calif. Legislature passes $96.3B Democratic budget
SACRAMENTO, Calif. The Legislature passed California's massive state spending plan Friday amid sharp divisions over whether the compromise struck by Democrats and Gov. Jerry Brown will further the state's recovery or eventually return it to the multibillion-dollar deficits common during the recession.
Lawmakers had until midnight Saturday to send the governor a balanced budget for the fiscal year that begins in July, but they acted swiftly after the state's top Democrats reached a deal earlier in the week. Both houses approved the main budget bill, AB110, on party-line votes: 28-10 in the Senate and 54-25 in the Assembly.
They will reconvene Saturday to vote on roughly 15 bills that will enact specific parts of the budget.
Senate leader Darrell Steinberg said the $96.3 billion Democratic spending plan ends the "doom-and-gloom" scenarios that were a hallmark of years past, when deficits grew into the double digits, state programs were eliminated, workers were furloughed and budget deadlines were blown by weeks and sometimes months.
"The passage of the budget may just represent the end of one very difficult era and the beginning of a new and better era - an era of economic growth, hope and restoration," said Steinberg, a Democrat from Sacramento.
Republican lawmakers in both houses of the Legislature were less enthusiastic. They said the spending plan contained accounting gimmicks and failed to address some of the state's most pressing fiscal time bombs, including tens of billions of dollars in unfunded public employee pension liabilities.
Republican Assemblyman Jeff Gorell also said it contains additional spending that will come back to hurt the state once the higher sales and income taxes passed by voters last fall expire.
"We will have to make cuts again," said Gorell, of Camarillo. "With this budget, we have positioned ourselves perfectly to repeat the mistakes of the past."
Thanks to a recent voter-approved initiative, Democrats could pass the budget on a simple majority vote and did not need Republicans' support. Democrats noted the budget maintains a roughly $1 billion reserve and will not restore all the programs cut during the recession.
It also funnels significantly more money to K-12 schools and alters the education funding formula so more money will flow to districts with high levels of students who come from low-income families, who are not proficient in English or who are foster children. The funding shift was one of Brown's top legislative priorities of the year.
The governor has said providing more money to help students who are disadvantaged is the right thing to do, and it was a part of the budget that drew rare bipartisan support in both houses.
Republican Assemblywoman Kristin Olsen, of Modesto, said the state's current method for distributing money to schools has created "historic inequities" in lower-income areas such as the San Joaquin Valley.
The governor's formula, she said, "seeks to give all kids, regardless of their socio-economic background, regardless of their ethnicity, regardless of their geography, equal access to a top-quality education so they can be successful in life."

CHARLOTTE — Six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan continues to struggle as a league executive.
The Jordan-owned Bobcats are 3-26 and flirting with NBA futility.
Because of the lockout-shortened season Charlotte won't challenge the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ers' record of 72 losses. However, the Bobcats have lost 16 straight games and have a worse winning percentage (.103) than that infamous 76ers team.
Leaders in Catawba County's school systems have approved calendars that will send students to class Aug. 7 for the 2012-13 school year.
Some people say the early-August start is positive in part because it will allow high school students to complete first-semester exams before the holiday break in late December.
Others argue the early-August start is negative because, among other things, it shortens this year's summer vacation to about eight weeks.
What's your preference — a school year that begins in early August or late August? Vote now at observernewsonline.com.
Construction crews continued work on a Main Street water line replacement project Thursday in Maiden.
The project is replacing one of the oldest water lines in the town and relocating a line from beneath the street to underneath the sidewalk.
Maiden officials say the line has broken several times the past several years due to buildup in a pipe.
Conover police are investigating a rash of church break-ins near the city's downtown area.
In the past two weeks, three Conover churches and one downtown business reported break-ins. For each of the break-ins, police report burglars took only small amounts of money and broke windows and ransacked office areas.
"This person is not taking anything of value," Conover Police Chief Steve Brewer said. "This is occurring after hours in the churches, and most of them have been occupied up until 7-7:30 at night."
U.S. Senator Kay R. Hagan (N.C.) announced that 12 North Carolina fire departments will receive a total of $1,907,418 through the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) program.
The Conover Fire Department will receive $38,228.
The funding will help firefighters and first responders obtain critically needed communications equipment, protective gear, training and other resources.
Newton police will roll out new dispatch and records technology this spring that they say will make the department more efficient and help solve more crimes.
Newton Police Department (NPD) will launch its new computer-aided dispatch (CAD) and Records Management System (RMS) beginning in May.
Police officials say the updated, computer-based systems will "streamline" processes that used to take dispatchers, officers and supervisors weeks and months to do.
Chinese manufacturer Chongqing RATO Power announced today that it will establish its North American headquarters in Denver and will hire as many as 600 employees in a temporary manufacturing while it searches for a permanent site for its production and distribution center.
"This is the start of something really big that can help change this community and this area," said Gov. Beverly Perdue who was in Denver for the announcement. Perdue said she hoped the announcement was the "first day of a long-term journey together" with RATO.
Work will soon begin on a pair of Newton water system projects.
Neill Grading & Construction Company and a subcontractor will begin replacing a water main on U.S. 70 next week between Hughey Drive and Boundary Street.
Crews will begin a water easement and rights-of-way project the following week in the Shannonbrook subdivision. That project is expected to be completed by late June.
Newton has seen an increase in participation for youth sports offered by the city's recreation department.
In fact, the increase in participation for sports like basketball and soccer is so great that the city is scrambling to find places for practice and games.
Meanwhile, the city's recreation department staff is also facing ever-increasing expenses for the Newton swimming pool, which city council voted to open in 2012.
More details in The O-N-E's Thursday print and online edition at www.observernewsonline.com.
In a game that included a combined 40 fouls and 50 turnovers, the Newton-Conover girls basketball team survived an early scare from South Iredell to advance to Friday's CVAC 2A tournament final with a 65-37 victory.
The Lady Red Devils (23-3) will meet the winner of No. 2 Bandys and No. 3 East Burke in the championship game.
"It was ugly. That's all I can say," said N-C coach Ike Williams. "We kind of knew Bandys would be here scouting. We wanted to be conservative with the game plan and what we ran. Obviously, it ended up being an ugly game."

FIFA President Sepp Blatter has softened his stance on calling for clubs to be punished with relegation after serious racist abuse, suggesting that fans would deliberately provoke incidents. Blatter says relegation sanctions are ''not a simple solution, (because) will this lead to people coming to a stadium wanting to stop the game intentionally?'' In January, Blatter discussed sanctions for racism in an interview for FIFA's website and said ''the best would be the deduction of points and the relegation of a team, because finally the club is responsible for their spectators.'' Blatter told a FIFA-sponsored conference on ethics in sport that ''we have to really issue drastic sanctions. How far can we go?'' Blatter has appointed FIFA Vice President Jeffrey Webb to lead a task force which will propose penalties.

|Purdue needs to win them all to go bowling
|Written by Admin
|Tuesday, 06 November 2012 23:05
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) - Purdue is running out of time to save its season.
The Boilermakers, who entered the season talking about playing for a Big Ten title, have lost their first five conference games and need to win out to become bowl-eligible. Purdue (3-6, 0-5) travels to Iowa on Saturday with its season on the line.
The Boilermakers said they were fired up after the previous week's 44-28 loss at Minnesota and expected a better performance last Saturday against Penn State. Purdue grabbed an early lead against the Nittany Lions before falling apart and losing 34-9.
Purdue has been outscored 189-86 in league games. Coach Danny Hope said the Boilermakers didn't deal with the high expectations well.

From the Publisher"Bondurant tells a distinctively American story. The gritty, suspenseful narrative gripped me and wouldn't let me go. It also touched my heart in all the right ways. Matt Bondurant's writing is as full of beauty as it is of verve and grit. Thank God it's legal to write so well." — Lee Martin, author of River of Heaven and The Bright Forever
"In his scintillating new novel, Matt Bondurant explores a crucial period in the history of Virginia and of his family. His gorgeous, precise prose brings to life an amazing cast of characters, including Sherwood Anderson, and the often deadly battles of Prohibition. The Wettest County in the World is a remarkably compelling, highly intelligent, and deeply moving novel." — Margot Livesey, author of The House on Fortune Street and Eva Moves the Furniture
"Bondurant endows this gritty story with all the puzzle-solving satisfactions of a mystery. It's a gripping, relentless tale, delivered in no-nonsense prose." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Interweaving the bleak portraits of Walker Evans, the charged landscapes of Annie Dillard, and the breakneck plotting of Cormac McCarthy, Matt Bondurant mines his own family history to offer a novel that's both a gritty, fast-paced tale of bootleggers and car chases and a timeless hard-knock ballad, a myth fixed in the amber of one small community's imagination. The Wettest County in the World is a suspense story dashed to tintype smithereens, each one a jewel." — Elis Avery, author of The Teahouse Fire
"Brilliantly conceived, and so close to home, this novel proves Matt Bondurant's burgeoning talent — a book for thirsty American readers to guzzle down, a book for all young American writers to admire." — Alan Cheuse, author of The Fires
"Bondurant writes fiercely and passionately. Severe violence, thrillingly rendered, pervades this book, which will remind readers of hard-hitting Southern writers such as Cormac McCarthy and Larry Brown. ....The story Bondurant has to tell is riveting, detailed and historical. His knowledge of Southern culture is as deep as his ancestors' knowledge of making whiskey. We are aware from the first page that we are in the hands of a remarkable storyteller." — San Francisco Chronicle
"Bondurant is a nimble writer, especially when it comes to depicting gore and guts. His descriptions of the warped and wounded (a man lying in a hospital bed with "skin blanched like boiled meat; the bedding stained with a yellowish fluid" can leave a reader queasy, but the liveliness of his writing makes it hard for even the most lily-livered to look away.....Bondurant's prose is lyrical.......who can deny the power of a narrative so deeply rooted in childhood imaginings, when a mild and quiet grandfather hung those brass knuckles on the wall?" — New York Times Book Review

Making tracks with the Jokosher audio editor
Extending Jokosher
Beyond the basics, Jokosher is extensible [4]. It has a plugin structure that you can set up by clicking on Extensions | Manage Extensions to add, remove, or enable extensions for use. If the plugin is configurable, the Settings button is enabled.
More extensions are presented on the developer page of the project website [5] and in the Jokosher user forum [6]. Of these, I really enjoyed the "Freesound search" plugin (Figure 6), which helps users choose from an impressive selection of freely usable samples from the Freesound database (see the "Freesound" box).
Freesound [7] is a database in which users have put a huge collection of samples, sounds, and noises that are freely usable, in contrast to commercial sound libraries. The samples are licensed under the Creative Commons Sampling Plus license, which allows their use for commercial and non-commercial purposes [8].
Despite some very good approaches and solutions in Jokosher, some criticism remains. The lack of a vertical zoom function turned out to be highly impractical. Although you can change the width of a track in the main window, the height remains unchanged. In the mixer view you can't scale tracks in either vertical or horizontal direction, and this keeps users running back to the main view to edit work.
It is impractical and downright annoying that you cannot select multiple track takes to move them at the same time. To add a sound or an edit at the start of a composition you have created, you are forced to move each track separately.
For a deeper look at Jokosher, check out the program documentation [9]. Despite its current weaknesses, Jokosher seems quite advanced. The program shows huge potential for becoming a serious alternative to more established programs such as Audacity.
All told, Jokosher is a powerful audio editor for budding musicians and audio amateurs. The intuitive controls and attractive design make Jokosher a good option for smaller projects that don't require a lot of editing.

Kochi to have first of three facilities to be set up in State
Taking in to account the plight of the travelling women and the increasing number of atrocities against the fairer sex, the Kerala State Women's Development Corporation (KSWDC) has decided to set up guest houses for travelling women, for whom the biggest challenge is to find a safe and affordable place for overnight stay, in all three major cities in the State.
"The first one will come up in Kochi since we have enough land and a suitable structure, which is already functioning as a working women's hostel. While the working women's hostel at Gandhi Nagar near the south railway station will be given a facelift and continue to operate, a new floor to be set up atop it will function as the guesthouse," KSWDC chairperson P. Kulsu told The Hindu on Tuesday.
The Kerala State Nirmithi Kendra has drawn up an estimate of Rs. 78 lakh for a 5,000-sq.ft facility. KSWDC officials said the Nirmithi Kendra will be given work order for the construction of the proposed guesthouses as soon as the State government allocates funds. Finer details like number of rooms and tariff will be decided only later.
Ms. Kulsu said that assistance has been sought for the project in the forthcoming State budget. She said the proposed guesthouse will be operated by KSWDC directly in the same fashion as it runs its working women's hostels across the State on a no-profit, no-loss basis.
The existing double-storeyed women's hostel in the city has the capacity to accommodate more than 100 inmates. Since the hostel is also not in an ideal condition, its maintenance will be given prominence along with the guesthouse project.
'Desperate need'
Hunt is on for finding appropriate land for similar guesthouses in Kozhikode and Thiruvananthapuram. Kozhikode city, Ms. Kulsu said, is in desperate need for such a lodging facility, as KSWDC does not even have a working women's hostel within the city limits.
Lack of funds is the main hurdle to the realisation of setting up guesthouses in Thiruvananthapuram and Kozhikode. Unlike Kochi, the KSWDC does not have its own land or structures in these cities.
"We are also planning to approach the Union government for the guesthouse project provided the State government gives a guarantee. But for the State to do that, we will have to complete our pending audit. We are hopeful of completing the audit works within a month," Ms. Kulsu said.
She said that guesthouses for travelling women was a long cherished dream, as she herself had experienced difficulty in finding a safe place for overnight stay in the past. It was not easy to get rooms in government guesthouses or rest houses even in her official capacity,, Ms. Kulsu said.
Meanwhile, working women who often had to travel alone appreciated the endeavour. "In fact, why limiting such facilities to three cities as there is demand for it even in other towns," said Anupama, a Thrissur-based IT professional working in Bangalore.

Remember Me
Phish Festival 8 :: 11.01.09 :: Indio, CA
The set opened with a few numbers fans were expecting to hear, like "Water in the Sky" and "Back On The Train," a fluttering "Strange Design," as well as a few more daring tunes for an acoustic setting, such as "The Curtain With."
With the blistering sun again beating down upon patrons, Trey told the audience to sit down at the beginning of the set, something he later explained he'd never be able to do because he can't take orders, which led to the frontman jumping out of his seat for "Wilson."
The acoustic early afternoon set proved to be the perfect scenario after the musical chaos and relentless ass-kicking of Halloween. It provided the opportunity to sprawl out in the lush, green grass of the concert field and float away to the simple melodies of "Bouncin' Around the Room" and "McGrupp and the Watchful Hosemasters." The acoustic version of "McGrupp" was clearly a highlight that allowed fans to appreciate what a wonderful composition the song is, shinning in this unique setting.
The tripe encore of "Driver," "Talk," a song that really flourished with Trey on acoustic, and "Secret Smile" closed things out. The acoustic portion of Sunday truly captured the laidback, SoCal vibe of Festival 8 in a nutshell.
Opening with the upbeat, fan favorite, "AC/DC Bag," Phish was back in familiar territory - electric, where let's face it: this band belongs. "Bag" was cut a bit short, Trey pulling out of the jam and instead segueing into "Rift." A welcome choice, but a bit puzzling since they had played "The Curtain With" earlier, and both songs contain a very similar composed section.
"Gotta Jibboo" got the crowd gyrating; before the set seemed to sort of fall apart. The set wasn't bad, but seemed disjointed at times, and the band simply looked tired. This point was further driven home with some major flubs in "Reba" and "Guelah Papyrus." But, it didn't matter. There were no haters around and everyone continued to move along, including the band who did manage to end the set on a high note with a Fishman-led, super tight and funky "Undermind," and a mostly razor sharp set closer of "Split Open and Melt." A set that will get lost in the mix of the weekend, it did have a few choice moments buy lacked cohesiveness overall.
A panic-attack inducing "Maze" swirled with McConnell's organ and Anastasio's piercing licks, before things morphed into "Free." A bombastic version of one of the band's most beloved jams, "Free" turned the sea of people into one glowing mass of smiles, many with eyes closed and arms raised over head.
Clearly feeding off the crowd's energy, the band moved into the new Gordon track "Sugar Shack," featuring funky, calypso rhythms and Gordon's quirky vocals. Things were gaining speed and truly hit a stride during a triumphant "Limb by Limb" and a very well played "Theme From the Bottom" that soared high with the song's classic, ethereal jam.
Many fans felt the best set of the weekend was the eighth and final offering. Well executed and perfectly balanced, we were treated to soaring highs, funky dance numbers, and dark, chaotic, dissonant weirdness like that found in the massive "Mike's Song." Drifting out of "Mike's," "2001" lit a party keg under an already amped-up crowd that busted their best dance moves during the legendary space-funk. With the band pumping the beats, lighting director Chris Kuroda brought "2001" to new heights with rainbow patterns and backlit palm trees behind the stage. Known by phans as CK5, Kuroda just might be the best light guru in the game.
After exploring "Light," Phish laid a delicate, raw lining over the masses with the majestic "Slave to the Traffic Light." One of be best show closers in the band's repertoire, it summed up the weekend: amazing, beautiful, dangerous at times, but clearly worth the journey.
An extended encore of "Grind," a very unexpected "Esther," which was performed flawlessly with McConnell's circus style organ capturing the festy vibe in a snapshot. In a subtle way, "Esther" also signaled that Festival 8 had come full circle. Back at the band's first festival, 1996's Clifford Ball, "Esther" was played early on, but had not made an appearance at any of the following festivals.
A bunch of thank yous to Red Light, Goldenvoice and Phish peeps in general, Trey said they hoped to do it again, emitting a universal cheer. The icing on the donut was a raging "Tweezer Reprise" in which the stations at the back of the crowd erupted a few final times with huge bursts of flames.
Festival 8 was a triumphant success and a welcome return to the festival atmosphere for Phish. Exile was nailed, some of the best jamming in years, and a relaxed vibe made Coventry seem like a distant memory. A true epiphany for all in attendance, and from what showed onstage, the band as well.

Julien: Bad blood between B's coach and Guy Carbonneau is "blown out of proportion"
|01.24.09 at 12:39 pm ET
MONTREAL, Quebec — Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien, who coached the Canadiens in his first NHL gig from 2003-06, defused any notion of bad blood between himself and current Habs coach Guy Carbonneau during the NHL All-Star coach's press conference this morning. Carbonneau succeeded Julien behind the Habs bench after Julien was fired by Montreal GM back in 2006.
"I think we have to leave the rivalry where it should be left, and that's during the regular season," said Julien. :You know, we both have a job to do and we do it to the best of our abilities. I think the rivalry that's been created between the two teams has been nothing but great for hockey.
We're here together. We're both people that are extremely proud of our job and we're extremely proud competitors. But we're able to put that aside and work together with no issues at all. I've known Guy even before he became a coach here. It's not like it's the first time we've worked together. I think [any bad blood] has really been blown out of proportion, to say the least."
Carbonneau was posed the same question as Julien, and said he can sometimes play the same agitator role behind the bench that Bruins fans not-so-fondly remember during his heydey with the Habs. It wasn't quite the dinner date scenario that Habs forward Alex Kovalev painted for the two rival coaches during yesterday's media availability, but there seems to a truce in effect for the Mid-Winter Classic.
All that being said, I don't see these two holding hands and singing "Kumbaya" around a camp fire any time in the near future.
"It's an interesting thing," said Carbonneau. "The players, we're both competitive, and I think during the game sometimes things happen and things are said. But, you know, I've done this when I was a player and had no problem going out after the game with the [opposing] players. This weekend is going to be great."

This is my first year wrestling and I go to school in northern new jersey. I'm doing alright, but certainly am not varsity quality yet, but apparently my team is a little small and my coach wants me to do 170s varsity.
Any advice as to some moves that can end a match quickly, (basically surpise the heck out of my opponent)? Or any way I can just hang in for 3 rounds, and wear my opponent down, because I really only know the basics and even now am still trying to work on those.
