KANCHEEPURAM: Tension prevailed for sometime on the campus of Chengalpattu Law College on Wednesday afternoon following a brawl between students and a 'group of visitors.'
According to police, Palanivelrajan of Nandambakkam came to the college, along with a few others, to meet Principal Janardanam since his sister Azhaguvalli (20), studying in the college, complained that a student Devakumar (19) of Porpanankarai near Madurantakam ragged her on Monday and Tuesday.
While Palanivelrajan and Azhaguvalli were discussing the issue with Vice-Principal Gajendran (holding additional charge as Mr.Janardanam was on leave), a scuffle broke out between the students and Palanivelrajan's supporters. Both groups pelted stones on each other. Six vehicles were damaged.
The situation was brought under control after a team of policemen rushed to the campus. Subsequently both the parties lodged complaints against each other with the police.

THE VISIONARY: Charlie Gandy
The Voices of Cycling
Five people who make a difference and influence bicycling in Southern California.
THE CONSULTANT: Dr. Sherry Ryan
Charlie Gandy sees it time and time again.
Once a month he leads people on a tour of Long Beach's bicycle-friendly streets – down bike lanes and up green-striped "sharrow" streets and over dedicated bike paths. At some point he asks his guests a question: "How does it feel?"
"It is a transformational moment," said the California city's mobility coordinator. In his silky Austin twang, Gandy recalls how cyclist after cyclist suddenly feels "validated as a user of the streets. It is the moment where bicyclists feel they belong in the shared space of the streets."
In Long Beach, they do belong.
The city has 100 miles of defined bicycle lanes in place and is adding them at a rate of 30 miles a year. It has bike racks and corrals salted all throughout the city. Long Beach is actively promoting itself as a bicycle-friendly city.
When Long Beach recruited Gandy nearly two years ago he questioned whether it was serious about cycling, whether it had to resolve to turn a vision into reality.
The city showed him its bicycling master plan and $9 million commitment to cycling, a budget that has since grown to $21 million. That was good enough for Gandy, who founded the advocacy group Texas Bicycle Coalition in 1990.
What Gandy has found in Long Beach is politicians and government leaders with "clarity of purpose" and the "political will" to transform the city, like Sumire Gant the Bike Long Beach program director who is the mastermind behind the raising of over $21 million. "They have the same anxieties as anyone else but they are willing to take risks," he said.
In an early stroke of brilliance,the city bought $10,000 worth of green paint and Gandy used half of it to add bike lanes to streets that were wide enough to accommodate them. On streets that weren't wide enough, he had green stripes painted down the middle, with bike-sharing symbols (called "sharrows") added to let vehicles know they must co-exist with cyclists.
A year later, after doubling the cycling traffic in the city's designated bicycle friendly districts, he used the remaining green paint to freshen up the stripes.
"You put a bike lane down and it significantly increases the view that there is a place for yourself in the streets," said Gandy. "It is a place where cyclists can feel safe."
Where stripes are painted, Long Beach has seen cycling traffic increase 30 to 50 percent. In Belmont Shore, the number of cyclists doubled, from 400 a day to 800, and even created a "bike parking jam," said Gandy.
Long Beach also created Vista Bike Boulevard – a mile and a half of traffic-calmed street on the East Side that connects three elementary schools and discourages through-traffic by adding traffic circles and roundabouts.

It was woodshed night in the Central Section Division I playoffs Friday, and setting the tone was not a top seed but No. 8 Liberty High, which scored two quick touchdowns and cruised to a 28-3 home victory over No. 9 Clovis-Buchanan.
Corbin Jountti gained 139 rushing yards and a touchdown for the Patriots (7-4), who held Buchanan's offense to 213 yards, most after the game was in hand.
"We weren't our best offensively, but our defense played really well," Liberty coach Tony Mills said.
Now, Liberty travels to top seed Clovis (9-1) in Friday's quarterfinals. The Patriots will be underdogs in that one, but a one-point loss to No. 4 Fresno-Central and a victory over No. 5 Bakersfield have them convinced they can compete.
"If Central had beaten Clovis (Clovis won 15-12), they would have been the top seed," Liberty linebacker Darren Adjei said. "If BHS continued on, they would have been the top seed. We know that if we can play our A game, we can play with anybody in the Valley. And besides, it's playoff time. You control your own destiny now."
In other first-round Division I games, No. 4 seed Fresno-Central, No. 5 Bakersfield, No. 6 Fresno-Edison and No. 10 Fresno-Bullard cruised by an average of 37.5 points. That made for a dull first round but sets up four quarterfinals (top seeds Clovis, Clovis North and Frontier had byes) between teams playing very well.
Adjei had two sacks for a Liberty defense that set the tone early against Buchanan (4-7). Bears running back Yusuf Robinson lost a fumble on the game's second play from scrimmage, and three plays later, Liberty quarterback Josh Medina hit Kenny Davis for a 5-yard touchdown pass.
Buchanan went three-and-out on its next possession, and Liberty marched 60 yards down the field for another score, this one a 4-yard run from Jountti.
"We got helped by a good start," Mills said. "We got a turnover, then a quick touchdown, and then we got another quick touchdown."
The quick start certainly made things easier for the Liberty defense, which forced two turnovers and only let Buchanan cross midfield twice in the first three quarters. Bears quarterback Tyler Fry finished with 101 yards, but he was just 8-of-27 passing and never found a rhythm.
"We pride ourselves on coming out and doing defensive things, stopping the run," Adjei said. "I really think the key to our success was stopping their run and making them one-dimensional.
"I think they came out with more power sets than we were expecting. They wanted to push us off the ball because of our smaller line, impose their will on us. When they figured out they couldn't and tried spreading us out, we made them one-dimensional and went to blitz."
Davis added a highlight-reel worthy 38-yard touchdown in the third quarter when he took a lateral pass from Medina, made two men miss and then sprinted along the sideline, somehow staying inbounds into the end zone.
"Kenny Davis is a great receiver, strong lower half," Mills said. "He does a lot of the dirty work for us."
That made it 28-0, and a 28-yard field goal from Buchanan's Brett Arkelian was of cosmetic value only. Now the Patriots take a three-game winning streak into next week's test at Clovis.
"This team we have here, it has an opportunity in front of itself," Mills said. "We just need to stay level-headed and hungry. We're very fortunate, because we went through a lot of injuries this year, and we kept it together and put a win streak together. We know Clovis is the No. 1 seed and an excellent football program. But we're going to give it our best shot up there."

Economist Christina Romer, outgoing chairwoman of the Council of Economic Advisers, said in her final speech as a part of the Obama administration that the economic recovery needs to be supported by tax cuts and increased government spending. "While we would all love to find the inexpensive magic bullet to our economic troubles, the truth is, it almost surely doesn't exist," she said. That means the U.S. economy is on a dangerous path, according to The Economist. With a possible exception of a payroll-tax cut, there is little chance Congress will adopt additional stimulus this year.

Grammy-winning collaborator of Clapton lived in Valley Center
Told of Clapton's praise at the time, Cale deflected his famous peer's accolades, saying: "We're kind of mutual admiration society guys. As famous as (Clapton) is — and he's really famous, man! — he's almost like me. The difference between him and me is, he'll go ahead and say, 'I'll do it.' And I'll turn most (things) down," Cale told the U-T in a 2006 interview.
Cale moved to North County specifically because it afforded him the privacy the press-shy singer-songwriter craved.
He and Clapton collaborated intermittently, beginning in 1975. But their album collaboration on "The Road To Escondido" was spurred by Clapton, who initially coaxed Cale by asking for his help on a Clapton album that morphed into "Road." The album's title was also Clapton's doing.
"What's really ironic is I go to Escondido almost every day to get gas or groceries, and people think I'm some retired guy walking around," Cale told the U-T.
"The week Eric was here, we'd go eat at Denny's or IHOP or wherever ... and anywhere we walked in, everybody recognized him. I mean, we're talking autographs ... we couldn't eat. That's one of the reasons I didn't like the title 'The Road to Escondido,' because I don't want to (deal with) that."
Cale is survived by his wife, singer/guitarist Christine Lakeland. According to Cale's website, there are no immediate plans for services. Those wishing to donate in his honor are encouraged to give to a favorite animal shelter.

Trinity's schedule reads like a list of the top girls basketball teams in the Chicago area.
The Blazers passed their first test with flying colors.
Among Trinity's 5-0 showing at the Schaumburg Thanksgiving tournament last week was a 57-46 victory over Wheaton Warrenville South.
Trinity was ranked No. 7 by the Tribune, one spot ahead of Wheaton South, which turned around and beat No. 6 Montini.
Lauren Prochaska had 25 points and seven steals in getting the better of her future DePaul teammate, Meghan Waldron.
Sophomore Amy McKenna added 16 points in the victory over Wheaton South and joined Prochaska on the all-tournament team.
Trinity did not play Montini in the eight-team round robin because the teams could meet at Montini's loaded tournament.
"It was a solid tournament," Trinity coach Ed Stritzel said. "We played very well. "We have Lauren and she is our leader, but we also have a bunch of younger kids. We had devastating injuries last year and were playing sophomores and freshmen on varsity. Now we have not just depth, but experience. They have been through these games before."
Prochaska averaged 19 points, four rebounds and three assists in the tournament, which also included victories over Stevenson (56-18), Schaumburg (89-32), Glenbrook South (62-48) and St. Charles East (69-41).
McKenna averaged 14 points, junior Christine Olijnyk and sophomore Kaitlin Aylward seven each and junior Patricia Stritzel six points and four rebounds.
The Blazers will take on Lyons and Resurrection this week, and Regina, Queen of Peace and No. 13 Vernon Hills before facing top competition at Montini's loaded tournament.
They'll also face No. 5 Young, No. 10 Evanston, No. 12 Neuqua Valley, Mother McAuley and Hinsdale Central.
"Our schedule we feel is an awesome schedule," Stritzel said. "Kids know at Trinity they're going to play at the highest level. There are so many big games."Copyright © 2015, Chicago Tribune

Katie is a hard worker that will do anything to get the job done. Francie is very similar to Katie, but she uses other tools other than her hands to work.

Removing the valve assy. was easy, a few screws and it is off. Disconnecting the tubing was difficult. Not knowing how the tubes were affixed to the valve was a problem. Also, not easy. After getting the new valve installed. It was an easy matter to REPLACE the valve on the water pipe that was defective. If you read that right, my whole problem was the saddle valve in the basement that was the problem. So, moral of the story: Make real sure that you have water flowing to the valve before you replace it.

Sessions on REMS will be led by key opinion leaders who have participated in recent FDA sessions in Washington, DC.

First the performance difference between 2x and 4x is about zero, so enabling it doesn't help much.
Second various "old" p3/athlon motherboards based on for example Via chipsets don't like 4x AGP much and can be very unstable when using it. It seems your mobo is one of the victims and there is nothing you can do about it.
Wine is a quite special piece of software. You can't compare the results you get on Wine with windows performance since useally it is a lot slower because of various reasons. If you get a framerate of 30fps or higher you should already be happy.... (one thing that could improve performance is the right sound driver for your board that supports mmap sound (dma sound) but I'm not going to explain all that .. you need to enable some option for it in wine ..)

(app-g) APPENDIX G: ALI SPECIFIC ISSUES
__________________________________________________ ________________________
The following tips may help stabilize problematic ALI systems:
o Disable TURBO AGP MODE in the BIOS.
o When using a P5A upgrade to BIOS Revision 1002 BETA 2.
o When using 1007, 1007A or 1009 adjust the IO Recovery Time to
4 cycles.
o AGP is disabled by default on some ALi chipsets (ALi1541, ALi1647)
to work around severe system stability problems with these chipsets.
See the comments for NVreg_EnableALiAGP in os-registry.c to force
AGP on anyway.
The part about Ali chipsets is related to their old Socket7 chipsets with problematic AGP.
and d00d to add a little to what was already said, i will tell you i have been playing cs since the beginning of its time, and i now only have GNU/Linux installed on my machine so i obviously have to play cs through wine...and i will tell you, you are not going to get the performance in cs like you do in windows...i have always got 99fps steady in cs under windows, and through wine i get around 60 - 70...the best advice i can tell you is to try and get your hands on WineX...that version of wine by transgaming is built for games, and i personally never tried it, but i would have to assume performance is better..
i have seen it laying around the internet where you can download it if you don't want to pay $5/month, or you can also get it for free through CVS..so thats just a couple options for ya.

Dust Right After Returning from Vacation for a Longer-Lasting Clean
Dusting is my least favorite household chore. Here's a tip to get more bang for your dusting buck: If you're away for any significant period, like a vacation, dust as soon as you get back. The air has settled, you'll pick up more dust, and you'll get a longer-lasting clean before you have to dust again. »

One of the most effective ways to help shape laws is through in-person lobbying of legislators—and New Yorkers always step up! Nearly 100 animal advocates from across the Empire State gathered at the state capitol last Wednesday to make their voices heard at the ASPCA's third annual New York Voices for Animals Day.
The day provided opportunities for animal advocates to speak directly with their legislators and staff in support of passing stronger animal welfare legislation, including measures that would provide relief to animal control agencies and taxpayers during animal cruelty cases, improve protections for animals during natural disaster responses and fighting investigations, and enhance trap, neuter and release (TNR) programs for the state's free-roaming cats.
"While phone calls and emails are effective ways to communicate with lawmakers, face-to-face meetings make the most powerful impact, by far," said Bill Ketzer, the ASPCA's Senior State Legislative Director for the Northeast region. "An in-person meeting is the perfect way to show lawmakers that the constituents they represent are serious about animal protection."
Before setting off to meet with legislators, advocates heard from several New York State lawmakers on the importance of animal welfare legislation. Senator Jeff Klein spoke passionately about the need for full-service shelters in the Bronx and Queens; Senator Kathy Marchione discussed the need to support life-saving and cost-saving TNR programs. Assemblymember Linda Rosenthal highlighted legislation offering a tax credit to adopters, and Assemblymember Deborah Glick called for assistance from out-of-state veterinarians during disasters and large-scale cruelty cases.
Event attendees ranged from first-time citizen lobbyists to experienced advocates—but all of them were dedicated, and some were even willing to forgo sleep to be a part of the important day!
Filmmaker Joe Whelski of Manhattan had been up late working on a client video but awoke at 4:30 A.M. in order to catch the ASPCA-chartered bus to Albany, which departed just an hour and a half later.
"I was just [in Albany] in March and got a nice reception from lawmakers," said Joe. While we may not immediately know all of the results from lobbying, "It's worth it even if a bill doesn't pass, just to show the extent of support for animal causes."
Adding to the excitement, two priority bills successfully passed through committee during the day's events, bringing New York closer to having more resources for spay/neuter programs and better protecting animals in cruelty cases and during disasters—and proving that it's when we come together as a unified voice for animals that real progress on legislation can be made.
The ASPCA fights to make sure the strongest laws are in place to protect animals across the country, but we can't do it without dedicated advocates. "We work hard to pass animal-friendly legislation, but it's the grassroots advocacy by constituents that can provide the tipping point," said Michelle Villagomez, the ASPCA's New York City Legislative Director.
We want to thank all of our New York advocates and our supporters nationwide for standing beside us as we continue to fight for animals here and across the country.

Welcome to The Paw Print! In this recurring feature, we highlight the latest news affecting animals and animal-lovers around the country. Here are some of the top stories right now:
Obese Abandoned Cat Begins Weight Loss Journey: Sprinkles, a 33 lb. cat, was found abandoned inside a foreclosed home in New Jersey. Sprinkles weighed three times more than an average cat when she was rescued and transported to a local cat rescue group. The staff there is using a veterinarian-advised plan to help Sprinkles reach a healthy weight. [The Huffington Post]
Highly Contagious Flu Affects 1,100+ Dogs in the Midwest: A strain of canine influenza has sickened more than 1,100 dogs and has caused a handful of fatalities in the Midwest this spring. The flu, which is not contagious to humans but is highly contagious to dogs, is transmitted by nose-to-nose contact. Veterinarians are urging pet parents to seek veterinary treatment if your dog shows signs of a respiratory illness. [WLWT5]
Study Shows High-Pitched Sounds Can Cause Seizures in Cats: According to new research published in the Journal of Feline Medicine and Surgery, common high-pitched sounds such as crinkling tin foil or the tapping on glass can cause seizures in older cats. This phenomenon has previously been referred to as "Tom and Jerry syndrome," and fortunately, it can be treated with medication. [D News]
Shelter Pup Helps Autistic Boy Learn to Show Affection: Joey Granados, who was diagnosed with Asperger syndrome at age 7, showed an extreme dislike for physical affection for the first 14 years of his life. That changed when Joey adopted a pit bull named Roxy a few months ago. Through his bond with Roxy, who Joey describes as his "best friend," he has become more affectionate, and recently hugged and kissed his mother for the first time. [Today]
Yesterday, in honor of National Animal Advocacy Day, Congress put out the welcome mat for Bam Bam, a special dog whom the ASPCA rescued as a puppy from a dog fighting yard in Alabama. The Congressional Animal Protection Caucus (CAPC) had invited Bam Bam to the Capitol as an ambassador for dogs rescued from animal fighting operations. U.S. Representatives Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) and Michael Fitzpatrick (R-PA), Co-Chairs of the CAPC, were on hand to welcome the ASPCA and congressional staff.
Bam Bam joined a panel of experts to educate congressional staff about the fiscal and welfare challenges of caring for animals seized in federal animal fighting cases. The ASPCA regularly works side-by-side with federal prosecutors and law enforcement agencies to rescue animals from animal fighting rings, as well as expend vast resources caring for these animals afterward.
Federal criminal cases take many months or even years to progress. While they slowly advance, rescued animals must be housed, fed, and provided with veterinary and behavioral care. They often can't be re-homed until the cases conclude, which means a dog may spend over a year waiting for his or her fate to be determined by a court.
Once the ASPCA and law enforcement authorities come to the rescue, these animals should be able to start new, happy lives; but federal seizure laws weren't written with animals in mind. Animals can't be warehoused like cars, drugs or commonplace evidence—and while living in limbo in this way, seized animals often deteriorate psychologically and behaviorally. Meanwhile, animal-protection agencies rack up astronomical costs to safely shelter these animals on behalf of federal law enforcement.
Fortunately, on National Animal Advocacy Day, we're grateful for the great animal allies we have in Congress and in the Department of Justice (DOJ) working to solve this problem through legislation and regulatory changes. Reform is needed to have the alleged abusers, rather than taxpayers or groups like the ASPCA, pay for the costs of caring for their seized animals or relinquish custody of the animals, allowing them to be re-homed much faster.
We're also indebted to our amazing citizen advocates, who sent more than 13,000 emails to the Department of Justice over the past month thanking them for prosecuting animal fighters and urging them to get even tougher this year.
Show lawmakers that you won't stand by while animals suffer: Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade and help us fight for strong Cost of Animal Care laws.
Last Tuesday the ASPCA's farm animal welfare campaign testified to the National Organic Standards Board (NOSB), the committee that advises the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) on its Organic rules.
The ASPCA asked the Board to examine the problem of fast, unhealthy growth among USDA Organic birds raised for meat ("broiler" chickens and turkeys). Like conventionally raised birds, most organic birds are bred for unsustainable growth that causes massive suffering (including difficulty standing and walking). You can read more on our Truth About Chicken website, which shines a spotlight on these horrendous and largely hidden problems.
The USDA looks to the NOSB for suggestions on how to improve to its rules, so it is critical that the NOSB encourages the USDA to restrict the use of fast-growing, unhealthy birds.
In the coming months, we will need your help in urging the NOSB to act. If you join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, we will let you know as soon as those opportunities arise. In the meantime, please spread the word about the need for better standards for USDA Organic animals!
The ASPCA's Nancy Silverman Rescue Ride, a new program launched in January, aims to relocate dogs from the Southeast to the Northeast—where they will have a better chance for adoption—over the next three years. On Thursday, April 23, 34 more lucky pups got a new "leash on life" through the program's first transport to New York City.
The two-day transport began in Louisiana and Mississippi with dogs from the Louisiana SPCA in New Orleans and Natchez-Adams County Humane Society in Natchez, Miss., shelters that are new to the NSRR program but will be routine partners in the future. The custom-built animal relocation vehicle rolled into New York City around 12:30 pm last Thursday, where it was greeted by ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker, Board Member Linda Lambert, Nancy Silverman, and a handful of very excited staffers at the ASPCA Adoption Center.
The dogs, a variety of breeds including Dachshunds, Labs, terriers, and hound and Catahoula mixes, range in age from 10 weeks to five years. Their road trip began in New Orleans on Tuesday, and they spent Wednesday night at the Augusta Regional SPCA in Staunton, Va. before continuing their journey to New York early Thursday morning.
ASPCA Board Member Linda Lambert, ASPCA President & CEO Matt Bershadker, and Nancy Silverman.
"Transporting these dogs from areas of the southeast, where the risk of euthanasia can be high, to places where they'll be adopted, is very rewarding," said Kristen Limbert, Director of Animal Relocation at the ASPCA, who helped unload the dogs from the vehicle. "It feels great to be part of a program that gives so many dogs a second chance. These are amazing animals that just need a change of venue to find an adopter who is going to love them forever."
Six of the dogs will receive spay/neuter surgeries and be made available for adoption at the ASPCA Adoption Center, while the remaining rescues were transferred to St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center, an ASPCA partner in Madison, New Jersey.
"When I saw those puppies… my heart almost burst," said Ms. Silverman.
Currently in its fourth month of operation, the Nancy Silverman Rescue Ride vehicle has already made 18 trips to source shelters and saved the lives of hundreds of dogs. This landmark occasion marks the first—but certainly not the last—transport to the ASPCA's Adoption Center in Manhattan, and we are looking forward to many more lifesaving trips in the future.

Chevy Volt goes upscale in new electric Cadillac
Tuesday - 1/15/2013, 9:47am EST
By The Associated Press
(AP) - General Motors is trying to find more buyers for the Chevrolet Volt's electric technology. So it's putting it inside a new Cadillac.
The company on Tuesday introduced the Cadillac ELR, which has the same battery and gas-powered generator as the Chevy version.
GM promises that the car will have an aerodynamic, forward-leaning design and an all-new interior that sets the tone for future Cadillacs.
Production starts late this year, and the car will hit showrooms early in 2014 in North America. GM promises to produce a limited number to make the car unique on the roads, although it wouldn't say how many. The car also will be exported to China and Europe:
UNDER THE HOOD: The ELR has a 5.5-foot-long, 435-pound T-shaped battery that can take the car about 35 miles on electricity. A 1.4-Liter onboard gasoline generator kicks in after the battery runs down, so owners don't have to worry about getting stranded when the juice runs out. The system has the equivalent of a gasoline engine's 207 horsepower. Just like the Volt, GM is putting an 8-year warranty on the battery. The generator runs on premium gas.
HOW IT ROLLS: The ELR will have 20-inch wheels pushed to the edge of the body, with tires designed For performance and fuel-efficient low-rolling-resistance.
BRAKES: Like the Volt, designed to use braking energy to help recharge the battery, especially in city driving.
FUEL ECONOMY: Not released, but the Volt gets an estimated 98 miles per gallon if it ran on gasoline alone.
SEATS: Four.
PRICE: Not released. Volt starts at $31,645 including a $7,500 federal tax credit. It also can be leased for under $300 per month.
WHERE IT'S MADE: Detroit-Hamtramck Assembly plant.

I have been told by fellow employees at establishments not to tip for bad service. Many of these employees stated that they feel tipping for bad service reinforces the behavior and allows it to continue for weeks and months. While they have to pick up the poor employees slack and the customers wrath.
I always say follow the chain of command and if the manager doesn't resolve the situation you do what you have to do (within reason) to get your point across to the server that substandard service is not acceptable.

|Ex-Gophers Running Back Billy Bye Drowns While Boating
|Saturday, 13 June 2009 15:05
Ex-Gopher Drowns
Brainerd, MN - Billy Bye, a halfback at Minnesota in the 1940s, has drowned in a boating accident. He was 81.
The Crow Wing County Sheriff's Office confirmed the death Saturday. He died at Cuyuna Regional Medical Center in Crosby.
Authorities say Bye's motor became entangled while he was on Bay Lake on Friday. He freed the motor but was unable to get back in the boat despite attempts by passengers to throw him ropes and lifejackets.

The Venezuelan government ordered Panama's ambassador and three other diplomats at the mission to leave the country within 48 hours, a Panamanian official said on Thursday, a day after Caracas broke ties with Panama City.
"We received a note from the foreign ministry of Venezuela that was delivered to our embassy in which it declared four diplomats working in our embassy as 'persona non grata,'" Panama's Deputy Foreign Minister Mayra Arosemena told reporters.
The diplomats are Ambassador Pedro Pereira, charge d'affaires Jaime Serrano and two other embassy officials.
"We have recalled our staff today and they are traveling (to Panama) tomorrow," Arosemena said.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced on Wednesday he was breaking diplomatic ties with Panama after the country called a meeting of North and Latin American nations over weeks of sometimes violent protests in Caracas.
Maduro also said he was freezing all trade and economic ties with the Central American nation.
"Nobody will conspire with impunity to ask for an intervention against our fatherland. Enough!" Maduro said after Panama requested a private meeting of the Washington-based Organization of American States to be held to seek solutions to resolve tensions in Venezuela.
At least 20 people have died in anti-government protests in Venezuela since they first erupted on February 4. Nearly 300 were injured and there are also dozens of allegations of human rights violations.
Arosemena said that despite Venezuela's measures against the diplomats, Panama "has every intention of maintaining the best relations with Venezuela".

Decent 4/3 Wetsuit
Posted by: seadart on Oct-22-13 5:54 AM (EST)
I suspect a 4/3 wetsuit is going to be overkill in Texas, but if that is the route you end up going, look online for sales or in shops after Christmas for sales. You can usually pick up last year's models for about $160. This year's models will probably be more expensive. Xcel, O'Neil, Rip Curl make good quality suits that you can find on sale for reasonable cost.
Make sure about the water temperature being as low as you think it is. My sister lives on a lake in texas and the water temperature is never near freezing, (I know it's a huge state, so YMMV.)

He makes an excellent point. Beth Steel (now ISG) at Sparrows Point discharged VAST amounts of pickle liquor for many years, until they finally began treating this material, I think in the early 70s. The liquor was basically ferric sulfate in acid water, which would become rust upon contact with Bay water. The material would take time to settle and was well know for causing serious silting issues in the area. (I used to do some engineering related to the treatment plant... but you really don't want to know how much COD was and still is discharged).
But I don't know about the actual content of the dredge spoil or the compass issue.

All Antiperspirants to Carry FDA Warning Labels
TEMPE, Ariz., Nov. 29 /PRNewswire/ — Beginning December 9, 2004, all antiperspirants containing aluminum and aluminum compounds must carry a mandated Federal Drug Administration (FDA) "black box" label that warns consumers of the potential health hazards of aluminum and to keep the products away from children. In response to the warnings, 21st Century Healthcare, Inc., is launching their innovative product, Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! — the first value-priced aluminum-free deodorant, without added alcohol, dyes or artificial bactericides — as a safe, affordable alternative to name-brand antiperspirants.
According to the FDA, persons with renal dysfunction " … have impairment in normal renal excretion of aluminum." Thus, the FDA " … considers it prudent to alert these people to consult a doctor before using or continuing to use these products that contain aluminum on a regular basis." The resulting FDA warning label will read, "Ask your doctor before use if you have kidney disease."
"Consumers need to know of the potential harmful effects of using aluminum-laden antiperspirants," said Steve Snyder, president and CEO of 21st Century Healthcare, Inc. "In turn, we have developed an effective, low-priced aluminum-free deodorant line they can use without fear for their overall health — or the safety of their children. Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! is such a product line."
All Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! products contain Lichen, a natural botanical which inhibits odor causing bacteria. The Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! product line is hypoallergenic and does not contain aluminum, alcohol, dyes or artificial bactericides. All Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! products are all natural and do not contain parabens, another harsh chemical found in most deodorants. There are three unique clear formulations, Aloe Fresh, Sport and Clear Unscented.
According to the "Rose Sheet," a respected weekly trade publication with specialized coverage of regulatory, legislative, scientific, retail, financial, marketing and legal news for executives in the toiletries, fragrances and skin care industries, the FDA is concerned that young children and those with immature renal function are " … at a higher risk resulting from any exposure to aluminum … " The FDA is requiring all products containing aluminum " … to inform parents and others to keep these products away from children and to seek professional assistance if accidental ingestion occurs." Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! is safe for children's use.
"The makers of Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! not only removed 'questionable and harsh' ingredients but they also imbued the product line with a bouquet of healthy herbal ingredients like Chamomile, Vitamin A&E, Tea Tree Oil, and Aloe," said William Grundemann, an authority in natural deodorants for over 20 years. "It is simple … out with the bad and in with the good."
The deodorants are being purchased by health-minded consumers from teens to baby boomers to the geriatric population who are fearful about possible links of aluminum to Alzheimer's or other diseases.
Herbal Clear(R) Naturally! deodorant products can be found in over 10,000 food, drug and mass retailers and independent pharmacies nation-wide, including such well-known retailers as selected Walgreens, GNC, Target, Hy-Vee, Meijers, or Brooks.
Founded in 1990, 21st Century(R) Healthcare, Inc., is one of the largest international manufacturers of dietary supplements in the United States today.

It looks like Scarlett Johansson has been causing quite the headache for the bigwigs over at L'Oreal. Even though Johansson has a $5 Million deal with the cosmetics firm, she has refused to appear naked for their new campaign.
The blonde star – who has editorial control over her deal with L'Oreal – is said to be desperate to ditch her sex-kitten image.
For her recent shoots, Scarlett – who posed naked for a recent Vanity Fair cover – has been seen arriving wearing long white dresses and no make-up.
A source told Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Understandably L'Oreal, which spent a fortune signing Scarlett, and actresses Eva Longoria and Penelope Cruz, want her sexy screen siren glamour.
"There has been a series of creative differences. She had a problem with the last ad she shot for body lotion. There were a few heated exchanges."
I love how they refer to not wanting to get naked as "creative differences." Maybe I'll use that one to describe the next girl who doesn't return my calls. "Oh, yeah. It didn't work out with that one. We had creative differences." Of course, I'm not paying $5 Million for my dates…
Anyway, since I obviously don't have any pictures of Scarlett Johansson naked, I suppose these pictures of her looking incredibly busty on the set of The Nanny Diaries will have to do for now. Lots more after the jump.
News Update: We may see Scarlett Johansson nude in a movie after all.

I think you can have plenty of fun with this game with just vanilla, but there are a few pretty cool maps/vehicles in the expansions. There are also some very good weapons that you can only unlock if you have the expansions, which you can then use on any server (including vanilla ones), so you could argue that there are some minor competitive advantages for premium players (even though vanilla weapons are mostly just as good).
It really all depends on how much you think you'll be playing it between now and BF4. $28 is still quite a bit of money for one game, while $12 for vanilla is a pretty safe bet. But the expansion packs are $15 each when sold individually, so the premium package is a far better deal if you want to see all of the maps and content.
I played vanilla for several months before caving and buying premium (which honestly, I have hardly used). Should bumping up to premium more than double the price of the game? No, I don't think so. You get way more bang for your buck on the $12 deal. But if that extra $16 isn't a big deal to you, and you want to make sure that you can play on any server/map/expansion while seeing all of the content, then this is a very good price for premium.
As someone else mentioned, premium members should also get access to the BF4 beta, which is a pretty nice perk as well.

EA and Ubisoft need to just stop trying to develop their own bullshit and just sell and activate their games through Steam. I've never had an issue with Steam in...what 8-10 years? First game I ever bought through Ubisoft I made them give me a refund because I could never get it to successfully activate through UPlay, now this nonsense with Origin.

Profile: La Jolla-bred director who won Oscar for 'Rango'
Perhaps it was all that teenage filming in San Diego's canyons but Verbinski most wanted to make a little film about the creatures of the desert, horny toads, red-tailed hawks, rattlesnakes, the sort of animals you might see on a hike down to the old Scripps Pier.
"I started with seven artists out of my house, drawing and creating what we called a story reel," Verbinski recalls. "I asked John Logan (the personable but heavy-hitting screenwriter of "Gladiator," "The Last Samurai" and "Hugo") to come over and work and help out. It wasn't so much a screenplay as a process where we could form characters, and storyboarding, using a computer and a microphone and doing all the voices ourselves. It was incredibly low-fi for the first year and a half. We kind of scraped together a little startup money from Graham King. (According to The Hollywood Reporter, independent producer King put up 3 percent of the total $135 million "lo-fi" budget.) But really we were left alone. just some guys I knew from playing poker or whatever, like Crash McCreery" — the legendary creature designer on "Jurassic Park" and "Predator," who followed Verbinski's dictum on "Pirates": "Odd but not broad."
Paramount studio head Brad Grey came for a look.
"Brad drove all the way out to the hills of Pasadena and kind of uttered, 'Where am I?' as he stumbled through the pizza crust and Egg McMuffin wrappers into the converted laundry room that was our edit bay, and we showed him the whole animatic, and he was like, 'That sounds great. You sure you got Johnny Depp?' "
All along, "Rango" was built with the actor in mind. Much earlier, Verbinski had started to pitch Depp in detail, and Depp had cut him off, replying, "Stop. You got me at the lizard."
I ask Verbinski why he thinks Depp — who is paid well over $20 million a picture plus a share in profits said to be as high as $56 million — is so popular.
"I think he's a real-world chameleon. He is part lizard. He can transform, and I think we as an audience get sick of the same face."
Verbinski sat the actors, including Depp, Ned Beatty, Alfred Molina ("Spiderman"), Harry Dean Stanton, Isla Fisher, Bill "Davy Jones" Nighy and Abigail Breslin, together on a makeshift stage with funky props. "I wouldn't know how to get the performance out of people one at a time (as is done in most animated movies) because much of what we do is getting them to react to one another."
They then spent another 18 months playing around at Industrial Light & Magic in Northern California, "where things got very high-tech (and very expensive) very quickly. That's kind of the shape of it, really humble beginnings."
As for Verbinski's own San Diego beginnings, he is a proud graduate of not only La Jolla High, but Muirlands Middle and Torrey Pines Elementary. His mother was an accountant at UCSD, and raised five kids. "She would say, 'If you want to dance with the bear, don't tell me you're tired!' People in Hollywood ask me how you make it. I don't have an answer beyond hers: incredibly hard work."
