My husband has driven Jeep Patriots for years. I often drive his, just to enjoy the feeling of bigness I can never really get in a supermini (like my Fiat 500).
We have a Jeep Patriot Sport. My husband clocks up a lot of miles along country roads so he needs something tough and mean (and big enough to get passengers in).
When I drive it, I mostly go around town so it uses more fuel than it normally would. Plus I get funny looks from people and I bet most of them start thinking about carbon… Read Full Review

India finds an easy way out
I agree with the fact that the innovation in India is a lot about make-shift because of the problem of affordability. Finances are a big issue in our country. Although this does not serve as an excuse to produce low quality innovations it is still a hard fact. What India generally does is reverse engineering of most of the things that the other countries innovate. This is not how it is supposed to be. The pharmaceutical industry is a perfect example in this aspect. The Indian pharmaceutical industry has not till date innovated or produced a single globally accepted drug. Its not that we cannot do it, sometimes even when other countries produce it, it is an Indian who has done it. But we are so used to finding the easy way out that we do not take the efforts. We have the innovative mind but not the innovation conducive environment or culture. The other huge problem is that there is no clarity on what exactly innovation it. Very often we ourselves associate innovation with the word 'jugaad' and so that is what we produce and that is how we are represented worldwide. This our own outlook does not change, investments don't increase and we do not hold respect for others innovation we will not emerge as world class innovators.
Bhushan Patwardhan, Director, Professor, Inter-disciplinary school of Health Sciences, University of Pune
Invest in research
It is absolutely right that the image of India world across is very poor when it comes to innovation because of our tendency to do 'jugaad'. It is also true that this view will not go away till we do not thoroughly invest in the research that we do. Also the research that is done, is done very quickly in the need to produce faster results and this allows for several loop holes to be missed. Research is not looked at from all possible aspects and this weakens it to begin with. We have no long term approach as everything is produced on a short term basis to produce and give out faster results. Quality is not a concern, quantity is. We have to stop looking at innovation as something make-shift and only when we change the way we look at it will we be able to not produced make-shift products after all.
Ganesh Natarajan, Vice Chairman and CEO, Zensar Technologies
Jugaad approach not bad
Jugaad' Innovation is not always bad. When existing models, tools or equipments are modified and are helpful post the modification there is nothing wrong with it. Take for instance the agricultural sector. A lot of tools have been modified for the better use of the farmers and that is commendable. It makes the lives of the framers better. However if 'Jugaad innovation' is used for bigger sectors like the automobile sector that can be detrimental. This is where the quality and safety should be given utmost importance. These high-end products demand the innovation without modifications or short-cuts and regulations should be put in place to make sure that it happens. The highest quality standards must be met in this aspect. Most of the innovations that have been make-shift, works because it serves neccesity of humans and there are a lot of modified products that are actually doing really well, better than the ones where 'Jugaad innovation' is not used. Having said this, 'Jugaad innovation' should be done only where necessary.
Rajendra Jagdale, Director General of Science and Technology Park
Education not supporting the research
It is true that Indian innovations are not getting remarkable acceptance in the scientific community across the globe. But its not because of the make shift innovations, what we call jugaads. Indian scientist working outside India are doing well because of the infrastructure and support they get for their research and innovations. However same scientist working in India hardly get any support for innovations and research, other than some IITs and very few government organizations. Processes are complicated here and hardly speedy and transparent. Even our syllabus is not supporting or encouraging innovation and research. There is a total change require and we should really work for it. Its always easy to criticize but the authorities should work for improving the support system, which the other countries give easily.

The Sports Network
DATE & TIME: Saturday, December 7, 12 p.m. (ET)
FACTS & STATS: Wells Fargo Center (19,500) -- Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Television: ESPNU. Home Record: Texas 6-0, Temple 1-1. Away Record: Texas 0-0, Temple 1-1. Neutral Record: Texas 1-1, Temple 2-1. Conference Record: Texas 0-0, Temple 0-0. Series Record: Texas leads, 3-2.
GAME NOTES: The Texas Longhorns will be tested on Saturday as they collide with the Temple Owls in non-conference action at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.
Since suffering their only setback of the season to BYU on Nov. 25, the Longhorns have defeated DePaul (77-59), Texas-Arlington (72-69) and Vanderbilt (70-64) to improve to 7-1 overall. Texas built a 13-point lead over the Commodores before holding off a late rally to notch its first decision over a power conference team this season. Coach Rick Barnes has his team playing very tough on the defensive end. Texas held the Commodores to 37.9 percent shooting from the field, which is the sixth time this season it has held its opponent under 40 percent shooting.
Temple ended a three-game losing streak with a hard-fought win over Georgia in the Charleston Classic, and coasted past UAB to an 87-66 decision its next time out. The Owls made it three in a row on Wednesday with a 77-69 victory over Saint Joseph's in a Big 5 rivalry game. Fran Dunphy's squad also used a strong defensive effort to come out of its last game on top. The Owls allowed the Hawks to make only two field goal attempts over the final four minutes.
This will be the sixth meeting in history between Texas and the Owls. The Longhorns holds a 3-2 all-time series lead after their 77-65 win over Temple in Austin on Dec. 17, 2011.
The Longhorns' success this season has come courtesy of a collective effort. At least four players have scored in double figures in six consecutive games. Isaiah Taylor paced Texas versus Vanderbilt with 14 points and eight assists. Demarcus Holland and Javan Felix tallied 12 points apiece while Kendal Yancy finished with 11 points and six rebounds. Junior Jonathan Holmes was held to nine points on 2-of-6 shooting from the field by the Commodores. The 6-foot-8 Holmes is leading the Longhorns with 12.7 points per game and adding 6.7 boards per outing. The 6-9, 285-pound Cameron Ridley makes a huge impact on the interior and contributes averages of 8.8 points, 7.5 rebounds and three blocks.
Temple will counter with its star forward, Anthony Lee, who is near a double- double average with 13.3 points and 9.7 rebounds per game. Lee posted 15 points and 11 boards against Saint Joseph's, while Will Cummings and Dalton Pepper scored 16 points each. Cummings is doing a solid job of replacing Khalif Wyatt at point guard. The 6-2 junior is producing 17.9 points and 4.6 assists per game. Pepper and sixth man Quenton DeCosey are both excellent scorers as well, and Dunphy may have found another option on the offensive end in Daniel Dingle, who made his first career start against the Hawks. Dingle's playing time has drastically increased recently and he has gone 7-of-13 from the field over the past three games.
The Longhorns are one of the most improved teams in the nation from a year ago. Barnes may have an NCAA Tournament squad on his hands and Texas will have a good chance to make a statement against Temple. The Owls will need to make a huge effort on the glass if they hope to provide the hometown fans with their desired result.
Sports Network Predicted Outcome: Texas 77, Temple 75

Action and Ideas
Hi there, I'm Jeff. Intellect, imagination and humor are a few of my main ingredients. I believe in looking beneath the surface of things -- digging deep to find what's most meaningful, interesting or funny. Connections with other people are something I value highly. And face-to-face beats Facebook any day. To me, every other person alive right now is in some sense a co-voyager – we are all in this together. There is something to be learned from everyone, every interaction can be precious, and respect should be a universal entitlement. I am drawn to interesting ideas and possibilities, but have a pragmatic side too. Unusual – even outlandish – is fine with me, so long as the thing works. I like challenging problems and solutions that are creative, elegant and effective. Adventure is a high ideal for me. I enjoy getting off the beaten track, whether for trip across the Bay or across more than a few time zones. I am an outdoorsy type and like places that are remote and wild. I am always up for a culinary adventure too. I will eat just about anything. And the thing on the menu that no one has ever heard of (or heard of eating) will probably end up on my plate. On a good day, it will be paired with just the right wine. I have some ideas about the "ideal match" for me -- but I'm flexible about this, since you never really know who you are going to click with. Anyway, she is probably fairly outgoing, but also has an introspective side. She has an adventurous spirit and seeks out new experiences. She smiles and laughs a lot. She has a good heart, likes kids, values family, and is looking for someone like me.

Hmm, let me list some past vacation spots, to give you the impression that I am an international playboy who travels to these places regularly aboard my private jet… Paris, Manhattan, Tokyo, Istanbul, London, New Zealand, Kauai, Barcelona.
Stanford University, Stanford, CA
Sunshine, a starry night, interesting ideas and conversations, zany comedy like the Onion and the Hangover, music that you can feel, wine that speaks to you, a menu in a language I can't read, a trailess canyon, a moment of complete stillness.
Favorite activities include hiking, camping, tennis, yoga, kettlebell workouts, snowboarding, fly fishing, travel, music, culinary exploration and wine tasting. Overall, I enjoy spending quality time with family and friends doing just about anything.

Re: What if Tyson beat Douglas?
I have read lots of opinions, many have already covered things i wanted to say, Funny Man on page 1 and Magna have pretty much covered a good portion of what im thinking thought they put it better than i probably could
also say he gets past Holyfield the era he cleaned out was not as tough as the next era he was coming into
Guys like Bowe, Lennox, Foreman, Mercer, Morrisson, Moorer, McCall, Cooper, Botha, Schulz, etc wont list them all though i know i missed a few i know Tyson is great and probably h2h is favored over most but could he beat them all, i mean the life style the constant competition would have to catch up
Also on a side not of those guys i listed who would challenge or win belts in the 90's how come Tyson never got in the ring with a good deal of them? Was it prison was it missed opportunities

Mumbai: Amid apprehensions that the city could face load shedding during summer, the Maharashtra Government on Tuesday said people here would have to learn to conserve power if they did not want to face the same fate as the rest of the State.
``Mumbai's power requirement has increased in the past few years because of rapid development. Malls, government offices, private offices and huge hoardings need to reduce consumption,'' Power Minister Dilip Walse-Patil told reporters here. PTI

Triple gear avoids this problem by having the three "gears" arranged like linked rings - the gears then rotate along skew axes, and the opposite direction rule no longer applies (although see also Oskar van Deventer's Magic Gears for another possible solution). This is joint work with Saul Schleimer. We were inspired by another of Oskar's designs, his Knotted Gear, which consists of two linked rings that gear with each other, and of course we wondered if it would be possible to do three linked rings!

"Minga" in Kichwa means "community work". Our colleague Inés Lopez who is based in Carchi, an Andean province of Ecuador, participated in a "minga" to protect the water source of the Cumbaltar community. Ines did not mind the five blisters the minga left on her hands. Instead she considered a gratifying memory of the day's work, which involved women who received food once they finished working.
19 June 2012
April and May brought the heaviest rains and flooding seen in Ecuador over the last 30 years. WFP provided critical food assistance to the affected people, including those living in a community along the Onzole River. However, Melanie and her family still live fear as the rainy season is far from over in the Esmeraldas province and their home have been flooded three times this year.
30 May 2012
An international study conducted in Ecuador to evaluate three food assistance modalities –cash, vouchers and food—among vulnerable populations found that vouchers have several advantages over cash transfers or direct food delivery.
3 April 2012
Ecuador's National Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology announced that 2012 will be a very tough year for the country weather wise. The forecast: unusual heavy rains, especially for the coast and in provinces of the Andes, like Carchi.

Hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, droughts… nothing anyone can do will prevent them. But a lot can be done to reduce their impact – especially if there's an early warning.

A contribution of more than US$395,000 from the Government of Spain to WFP will allow the UN agency to continue providing humanitarian assistance to almost 8,000 Colombian nationals in Ecuador who have fled the conflict in their home country.

WFP will distribute food rations among 25,000 people in the Andean region of Ecuador after the Tungurahua volcano –130 km south of the capital – erupted on 16 August leaving more than 100,000 people affected in six provinces.

West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper Ben Foster feels in great form after their draw at Stoke City.
Foster is now relishing his involvement with Roy Hodgson's England as he prepares for World Cup qualifiers against San Marino on Friday and Montenegro four days later.
"I'm buzzing," he told the Albion website.
"It's been two years since I was last involved so it's nice, and to come straight back in with qualifiers will make it a little bit more special.
"They are two important games and two games we need to pick points up from.
"I've got a different mindset because I've changed my focus to England now."

Wilbur Hot Springs
Re: Weekend of solitude for mom
I think your first idea -- Wilber Hot Springs -- is a great one. I went for a weekend last year with my boyfriend and people really just left us alone. It kind of became a joke with us -- we'd be cooking in the kitchen or hanging out in the baths and people would go in and out without saying a word. We went for a hike and didn't see a soul. It was incredibly relaxing for us and definitely NOT a social event. anon

Fast Break: Celtics vs. Cavaliers
|02.25.10 at 10:48 pm ET
Well, it happened again.
The Celtics blew a one-point fourth quarter lead and found themselves looking at a double-digit deficit down the stretch.
The Cavaliers simply had more hustle and more energy when it counted. They outscored the Celtics 35-14 in the fourth to take away a 108-88 victory in Boston.
Player of the Game: LeBron James carried his team the entire game. He had scored 32 of the Cavaliers 73 points after three and finished the night with 36.
Turning Point:The Cavaliers took a 75-74 lead off of a J.J. Hickson bucket and never looked back. Even with James on the bench, they stretched the lead and created a cushion for James when he returned.
- Marquis Daniels played 24 minutes starting in place of Paul Pierce. Despite battling the flu, he played strong defense against James early on and helped the Celtics maintain their first half lead.
- Kendrick Perkins and James got involved in a tiff in the fourth quarter. Perkins took offense to James' foul, and Anderson Varejao stepped in to interject. Varejao got whistled for a technical.
- It was a night of debuts at the Garden. Former Celtic Leon Powe played his first game of the regular season while newly acquired Marcus Landry made his debut for the C's.
- Ray Allen led the Celtics with 21 points. Rajon Rondo recorded a double-double with 19 points and 11 assists.

Web grocer moves into new markets

Tesco aims where Webvan flamedJanuary 14, 2002
Tesco, which operates in the United States through a partnership with Safeway, has already launched online service in the San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento areas of California, as well as in Portland, Ore., and Vancouver, Wash.
Tesco did not say where the new service will launch, but the Vons.com site says it is debuting online services in Orange County, the San Fernando Valley, the San Gabriel Valley and West Los Angeles.
The company's move comes as the online grocery market as a whole is showing some signs of recovery from the dot-com bust and from the demise of companies such as Webvan.
In the United States, Safeway operates stores under the Vons, Pavilions, Carr?s, Dominick's, Randall's, Tom Thumb and Genuardis brands. Its online stores use technology from GroceryWorks.com, a joint partnership between Safeway and Tesco.
In the United Kingdom, Tesco announced this week that sales at Tesco.com rose 27 percent in the first half of the year, compared with the same period last year. The site recorded a profit of $2.91 million (1.9 million pounds), excluding one-time charges for the GroceryWorks launch. The company says it now takes 85,000 weekly orders.
Tesco said it recently launched grocery shopping through personal digital assistants in an effort to boost use. Tesco also plans to expand further into Ireland and Korea, the company said.

MythVideo: Managing Your Videos
MythVideo is a video management plugin for the open-source personal video recorder (PVR) system known as MythTV. Its primary purpose is to help organize digital videos that are saved on a MythTV back-end server for display on front-end client systems. The most common use of MythVideo is to create a personal digital archive of videos ripped from DVDs.
In this article, I explain how to configure both your hardware and the MythVideo software so you can make the best use of your computers and disk space, while still providing a comfortable user experience with uninterrupted playback of your digital videos. First, I walk through the process of using and configuring MythVideo and then cover some tips on improving both the process and the end result.
It is assumed that you have MythTV and its associated software installed. MythVideo doesn't require support for live TV, so I don't cover configuration of live TV components in this article.
The MythTV system has a client/server architecture that utilizes plugins to extend its feature set. The server side is known as the back end, and it is generally responsible for providing the hardware required for live TV recording and the storing of audio and video content for use within the MythTV system. It also provides database features used by both MythTV and its plugins.
The client side is known as the front end, and it primarily is used for playback of content that is stored on the back end. This can include viewing videos or listening to music, but it also includes browsing photos and the Web, making Internet phone calls, displaying the weather forecast and even ordering movies from Netflix. Front ends and back ends are separate pieces of software that communicate over a network, but they also can run on the same computer.
MythVideo is a plugin that runs on a front-end client and communicates with the back-end server to manage videos. It provides administrative tools for adding new videos to the system or for editing video information, along with tools for selecting videos for playback. Videos are stored on the back end but must be made available over a network using NFS in order to be played by the front end.
The MythTV display is divided into pages. There are three sets of pages specific to using MythVideo: the video selection pages, the video manager pages and the video settings pages. The video selection pages (Videos on the main menu) is where you browse your video collection, select a video and play it. There are three ways to view your collection: browsing one at a time, as a pageable gallery and as a list. Each method allows you to view the video title, summary information (running time, directory, plot summary and so forth) and artwork.
A Word about MythTV Themes
Many themes are available for MythTV, and each can be configured in a variety of ways. The MythMediaCenter theme was used while writing this article, and the theme was configured (see Setup→Appearance) to use the Classic menu theme. Screenshots in the article reflect this specific setup.
Despite the difference in themes and configurations, the underlying functionality related to MythVideo remains the same. All themes offer the same set of video browsing options and the same administrative interfaces. The only difference between themes is where you find the menu option that takes you to each of these features. If you have problems finding a particular page described in this article, feel free to drop me an e-mail, and I'll try to help you out.
Browse Mode sorts all your videos alphabetically, and although the information it displays is detailed and easy to read, it can take some time to browse a large collection. Use paging keys (by default, this is the Page Down key on a keyboard) to page through the list a little faster.
List Mode displays two small windows. The left side is the current folder and the right is the contents of that folder. If you have all your videos in one folder, List Mode is only a slight improvement over Browse Mode. However, if you arrange your videos in topical folders (by genre, for example), List Mode makes finding a video much easier than Browse Mode.
But, if you've arranged your videos in genre-oriented folders, which is the recommended manner for this article, the Gallery Mode probably is easier to use than either Browse or List modes. This is because the Gallery Mode lets you see a user-defined set of thumbnail poster art for the videos in the current folder. This mode does run a little more slowly than list mode, however, as MythVideo needs to cache the rows-by-column set of thumbnails for the current folder at least once.

Finding new ways to censor journalists in Turkey
The flood was foretold, and seemed inevitable. Even I, with my limited resources as a journalist and media monitor, raised the alarm years ago.
The flood was foretold, and seemed inevitable. Even I, with my limited resources as a journalist and media monitor, raised the alarm years ago.
Istanbul, April 8, 2015--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Turkish authorities to improve conditions for international reporters after news reports said German freelance photographer Andy Spyra, who flew to Istanbul to cover the anniversary of the Armenian massacre, was denied entry to the country. Separately, the trial of Dutch freelance journalist Fréderike Geerdink, who is facing terrorism charges over her reporting on the Kurdish minority, began today, according to news reports.
New York, March 20, 2015--The Committee to Protect Journalists is alarmed at the passage of a bill late Thursday by Turkish Parliament. The bill will allow Turkish cabinet members to ban websites deemed harmful to national security without a court order and will allow the country's telecommunications authority to impose hefty fines on websites that it believes violates the bill. The bill now awaits President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's signature.
New York, March 4, 2015--The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on Turkish authorities to release Mehmet Baransu, a columnist and correspondent for the privately-owned daily newspaper Taraf, who has been charged with obtaining secret documents and held in custody since March 1, according to news reports.
Dear Prime Minister Davutoğlu: The Committee to Protect Journalists is writing to express alarm at a fresh wave of anti-press actions in Turkey and to ask that you use the power of your office to reverse the measures.
Istanbul, February 3, 2015--A Turkish prosecutor has indicted Dutch freelance journalist Fréderike Geerdink for "making propaganda" for the banned Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and Union of Communities in Kurdistan (KCK), according to news reports. If convicted, she could face up to five years in prison, news reports said.
The murder of Turkish-Armenian journalist Hrant Dink, founder and managing editor of the weekly Agos newspaper, is still under investigation in Turkey. But despite arrests last month in the eight-year-old case, Dink's family and colleagues are worried justice will still not be served.

Protests against the French satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo were held in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Middle East and parts of Africa over the weekend, as crowds demonstrated against the magazine's portrayal of the Prophet Muhammad, according to news reports.

Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:
1. Issue a presidential policy directive prohibiting the hacking and surveillance of journalists and media organizations.
2. Limit aggressive prosecutions that ensnare journalists and intimidate whistleblowers.
3. Prevent the harassment of journalists at the U.S. border.
Or click here to see the full petition, and join leading journalists like Christiane Amanpour, The Guardian's Alan Rusbridger, Editor of the AP Kathleen Carroll, and Arianna Huffington in signing on.

Edit warring: Emma WatsonEdit
Yesterday I edited the above page because the first part of her dual nationality was stated (incorrectly) as "English". As I have pointed out, this is wrong because England is not a nation; it's a country, one of the constituent countries of the nation of Great Britain, and the corresponding nationality is thus "British". (This is a common error, but the fact of it being common doesn't make it any less an error.)
Despite this, Jack "BtR" Saxon has reverted the edit (and re-reverted my correction), claiming that "English is a nationality". Which is nonsense; England is not a nation, and only nations have associated nationalities. It would make just as much sense to claim that "Londoner" is a nationality.
I think someone should have a few words with him, and ask him to get his facts right before any further editing. — RobertATfm (talk) 14:39, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
As a neutral party, pointing out:
- Per Wiktionary:
- Usage notes
- (British) Following the establishment of the Scottish and Welsh parliaments, England, Scotland and Wales are normally considered distinct nations. Application of the term nation to the United Kingdom as a whole is deprecated in most style guides, including the BBC, most newspapers and in UK Government publications.
- And Dictionary.com defines "nation" as (1) a large body of people, associated with a particular territory, that is sufficiently conscious of its unity to seek or to possess a government peculiarly its own, or (2) the territory or country itself.
So I think "English" could be a valid nationality. --Cubs Fan (Talk to me) 19:28, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
- The Oxford English Dictionary states that a nation is a group united by factors that include language, culture, history, or occupation of the same territory and the Office for National Statistics found that 58% of people in Britain described their nationality as being English. -- Saxon 19:44, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

AOC's Zifas 2218Ph 22in LCD monitor offers a stylish design that rivals Apple's Cinema Displays. Unfortunately, it delivers a lacklustre viewing experience for anything beyond basic desktop use.
Samsung's latest SyncMaster LCD monitor is the 2233SW — a Full HD display boasting a 1920x1080 resolution and a 16:9 aspect ratio. The lack of HDMI connectivity is a little disappointing, but this is still a great LCD monitor.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

It seeks special status for State to regulate ownership of land
After a two-hour-long debate, the Goa Legislative Assembly unanimously passed a resolution on Monday seeking special status for the State, aimed at "regulating ownership and transfer of land" to protect Goa's identity.
Citizens' groups had been putting pressure on the government for long on the issue. Among the groups, there was the Goa Movement for Special Status led by the late Matanhy Saldanha and the Movement for Special Status for Goa (MSSG) backed by his wife and Minister for Forests and Environment Alina Saldanha.
Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar, who moved the resolution, said he was not asking for independent status for Goa. The purpose of the resolution was to protect land rights, he said and clarified that it was not to seek "any economic package for the State".
"We do not want any financial package under Article 371. We want powers to regulate our own scarce land since land mafias from all over are buying it up mercilessly. We have limited land left for our own people and their development," he said.
Goa is seeking special status on the lines of that given to Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Mizoram. Of the total 3,702 sq km of land, the tiny coastal State is left with hardly 362 sq km for development, the Chief Minister said.
According to him, this amounts to only seven per cent as 40 per cent is agricultural land, 38 per cent is forest, six per cent falls under the Coastal Regulation Zone and 1.8 per cent is for roads and other infrastructure.
Apart from land mafias in collusion with political forces who have been grabbing Goa's scarce land, the Chief Minister pointed out that even government establishments like the Border Security Force had been eyeing land in Goa with no justification. Unable to counter sustained pressure from the politician-land mafia nexus, Goans had started selling their ancestral land in the last 10 years, he said.
Mr. Parrikar pointed out that over the years, land belonging to non-resident Goans was also acquired under the pretext of government projects or simply by forging documents.
Referring to the bogey of migrants raised in some quarters, the Chief Minister dismissed the theory of migrant labour capturing more land than the land mafia. He warned that Goa would have to import manpower in the next 10 years because there would be fewer people to look after the aged with life expectancy in the State going up to 78 to 80 years.
With falling birth rate, Mr. Parrikar said Goa would become like some European countries that rely on others for manpower. He stated that the Bharatiya Janata Party would support the resolution whether it comes to power at the Centre or not.
An all-party delegation would proceed to Delhi next month to meet the Union government and present Goa's case, he said.
The resolution, urging the Centre for "special status to Goa under Article 371 of the Constitution of India or any other provision for regulating ownership and transfer of land and conservation of land", was passed after concerns were expressed about the current situation by members cutting across party lines. The MLAs sought the Centre's support for protecting Goa's identity. The Chief Minister said that the State must have rights over land transfer as it could not afford a change in its demographic status.
Supporting the resolution, Leader of the Opposition Pratapsingh Rane said the resolution should not be for political purposes.
The criterion for the special status had to be spelt out clearly, he said.
Speaker Rajendra Arlekar appealed to all the MLAs to introspect on why the time had come to ask for such protection under Article 371, while stating that "all of us are responsible for this."
Deputy Chief Minister Francis D'Souza said the increasing greed of Goans had led to this situation. Recalling the first private resolution he had moved when in Opposition, on the late Matanhy Saldanha's insistence, Mr. D'Souza said only fierce agitation could get the demand met.
Congress MLA Mauvin Godinho demanded that all 40 MLAs hold an agitation in Delhi.
Minister for Forests and Environment Alina Saldanha said Goa had reached a saturation point where freezing of land was the only solution. She said villages were not in a position to withstand the pressure of increasing mega projects.
Similar resolution
In August 2008, a similar resolution was passed by the Goa Assembly. In July 2009, Shantaram Naik, MP, moved a similar resolution in the Rajya Sabha.

"We tried to get him to come through some more traffic, but they loaded up the weak side," McHale said. "All four guys are standing over there, and we're trying to get our guys to come over and be more aggressive."
Said Brown: "We put him right in his comfort-zone area, and he was able to step up and produce big for us."
At a time when statistics are rather sketchy because it's so early in a season with so many back-to-back sets, the way teams play is in some regard more revealing than how they've played.
How have the Lakers played? Only two NBA players have more than 50 isolation possessions this season, according to Synergy Sports: the 23-year-old Kevin Durant and 33-year-old Bryant.
That is the depth of Brown's respect for Bryant, about whom Brown said unequivocally Tuesday: "I'm going to give him some freedom."
Brown said Bryant has earned that trust through what he has done in the past. Trust in himself is the reason Bryant is so defiant in shooting, no matter the percentage so far and no matter the state of the ligament.
And trust is why, same as with the stonecutting, Bryant won't surrender to the injury: He keeps going and going, adjusting and adjusting, shooting and shooting ... believing there will be a breakthrough that sustains him and his team, now and later.
The Black Mamba is also the Black Chameleon. He's constantly evolving, changing and adapting – the only difference being that he lives to stand out.
If you didn't think Bryant would listen to Brown, you're crazy. Kobe can be stubborn, but ultimately he'll listen to anyone who can really help him.
As a great example, there to help him Tuesday night was Tim Grover. As annoyed as he gets by the idea that he patterns his life after Michael Jordan's, Bryant went ahead and strapped those old Air Jordans on his feet to follow right in Michael's footsteps so he could have the trainer he believes gives him the best chance to succeed as he ages.
Bryant is always the same but is never the same. Whether he's missing 22 shots or making 14, he's analyzing every one. He will travel to the ends of the earth for any possible edge, yet his nose will never leave the grindstone.
What he doesn't understand is why everyone doesn't get it by now:
This is what he does. This is who he is.
Bryant pounded away with that busted finger for six months of the 2009-10 season.
He got up only after he had what he calls the most satisfying of his five NBA championships.

Killzone ditches perspective for PSP
Bad news for advocates of the (occasionally inexplicably) super-popular first-person shooter genre, the conversion of PS2 hit Killzone to the PSP will no longer be played from a first-person perspective, Sony instead opting to position players of Killzone: Liberation firmly in the third-person perspective. This news comes from a report in the latest Official PS2 Magazine, which also reveals that Killzone PSP will feature extended stealth elements to the action, requiring a little more nouse to complete the game's missions. Hopefully, the changes won't detract from the overall fun of this very well made series, but rather help this important franchise overcome criticisms aimed at the PS2 original.
Helghast, according to the report, will reprise the role of the wicked foe, whilst players will still be taking control of the grizzled Jan Templar, this time equipped with a differing array of weaponry and moves. Killzone is due out as 2006 matures, and we hope you're not too disappointed about the perspective thing. I'm sure it was nothing personal.

possible to dry newly wet decks?
I am looking at an early-80''s Hunter 36 for liveaboard. The boat has been well kept, but for the past year the owner hasn''t rebedded leaking in two portholes and where two shrouds are fastened through deck slits to continue through the cabin. Water coming in through the shrouds is evident as teak around the fasteners (in the head and on the port stowage cabinet) is starting to show signs of water damage. The deck, as expected, reads wet, though the problem has been relatively new. If it''s caught early enough, is it possible to ventilate the decks from below and dry them before they rot, remembering that it would be lived aboard and therefore relatively warm and dry all year? Or is this something that definitely requires repair?

How to Use a Defibrillator
Defibrillation is an electrical shock delivered to the heart designed to terminate a life-threatening arrhythmia. The Automated External Defibrillator (AED) is a device capable of automatically detecting a heart rhythm that requires a shock. The AED will charge itself and prompt the user to deliver a shock to the victim. AEDs analyze the victim's heart rhythm several times to be certain it is a shockable rhythm. All AEDs are operated in more or less the same way.
1Confirm cardiac arrest. Check to see if the victim is unable to respond and there is no breathing when you open the airway (by tilting back the head and lifting the chin up).Ad
2Turn on the AED.
3Apply pads to the victim's bare chest as shown.
4If necessary, plug the wire from the pads into the AED (usually next to a flashing light).
5Allow the AED to analyze the heart rhythm.
6If a shock is indicated by the AED, push the shock button.
7If a shock is recommended (sometimes it is not) make certain everyone "stands clear", and does not touch the patient.
8If the patient is still not breathing, start CPR. Give 30 chest compressions and then 2 rescue breaths and continue this cycle until the AED gives further instructions or the patient starts breathing.Ad
We could really use your help!

turf lawns?
potty training?
- Learn CPR as part of cardiac care.
- Always put the chest pads on a bare chest; failure to do so will cause the AED to be inaccurate.
- Most AEDs come with a razor for possible situations to shave the chest of a person with a hairy chest. If the patient has a hairy chest and there is no razor in the AED kit, put the pads on and them remove them quickly in the opposite direction in which the hair grows. A hairy chest can cause the AED to not be as effective.
- Professional instruction is strongly recommended. You can check with the American Heart Association or the American Red Cross for available classes.There are AED Training machines & classes specifically designed to allow the user to become familiar with the AED "basics" There is no way for an individual to practice with the actual AED.
- Do not use alcohol pads to clean the chest before attaching pads to the chest.
- Make sure that the patient's chest is not wet before attaching the pads. Dry the chest off before attaching chest pads.
- Never use an actual AED on a patient that is not displaying any signs of cardiac arrest; use a training AED.
- If find a victim of apparent cardiac arrest, and you have an AED, *use it*. Try to use the proper chest pads for the type of patient, i.e., use pediatric chest pads with pediatric patients, and adult chest pads with adult patients, but both AHA and ILCOR Guidelines recommend that if the correct pad is not available, adult pads may be used on any patient. Place them in the labeled positions, unless the chest is too small to separate the electrodes. If the gap between electrodes on the chest is less than 3cm (1.5 inches), place them on the front and back of the patient, on the left side of the chest and back.

Falcon of Peace
This essay originally appeared on TomDispatch
How come they get to be the hawks? And we get to be the doves? A hawk is a noble bird. A dove. Well, basically it's a pigeon. The sort of bird that, in New York City anyway, messes your building's window sills, is always underfoot, and, along with the city's rats, makes a hearty lunch for the red-tailed hawks which now populate our parks.
Even a turkey would be less of a turkey than a dove. We get to carry that olive twig--okay, they call it a "branch"--around in our beaks, but you can bet your bippy that they get the olives, or, more likely, the opportunity to trample the olive groves into oil.
They get to swoop and prey. We get to pace the sidelines, cooing our complaints. Their ideas--it never matters how visibly dumb they are--get tried. Ours never do. And when theirs fail miserably, they get to recalibrate and try again. We never get to try once.
That's because it's well accepted that they are "realists" and we are "dreamers," or "utopians," or maybe, like most doves, vegans. If you're not addicted to force (and so failure), you're simply not a part of the grand scheme of things, of the world as it is.
They get hundreds of billions of dollars to play with. We don't get bus fare to Washington. Oh, and then, at about the point when everything they've planned for has gone to hell, they suddenly turn to us and, claiming we're just so many naysayers, ask belligerently what the hell we'd do now. What's our plan anyway?
Even though they have a dismal record when it comes to predicting what their plans will do, they don't hesitate to explain to us with complete confidence just what sort of catastrophes our ideas will surely lead to. If we force them to withdraw from such-and-such a country in such-and-such a way, we'll be responsible for nothing short of "genocide," or ensure that a nuclear weapon goes off in an American city, or worse. And the media believes them, despite the fact that they've been proven wrong time and again, and so gives them carte blanche as "experts."
I'm talking, of course, about the US military's top brass (uniforms and all those medals are just so imposing!), the key civilians in the Pentagon, the rest of the national security establishment, the hordes of think-tank strategists in our capital, and the political leaders who go with them. Talk about failing upwards! Despite everything, hawks rule; doves never even get the chance to take off. And as the novelist Kurt Vonnegut used to say, so it goes.
Force as the Solution
And now for a tad of history...
After the attacks of September 11, 2001, those few who suggested that the appropriate response might be intensive, determined global police action, not the loosing of the might of the US military on Afghanistan, were derisively hooted from the room. It was so obvious that an invasion was not only a necessity, but couldn't fail against the ragtag Taliban and their Al Qaedan allies, not given the military might of the planet's "sole superpower." Even now, when it comes to that invasion "lite" and the subsequent occupation of Afghanistan from which unending disaster ensued, no mea culpas have been offered; nor does anyone in the mainstream pay the slightest attention to those who worried about, or warned against, such an approach.
Nor was serious attention paid when, before the invasion of Iraq, millions of people worldwide poured into the streets of global cities to say loud and clear: Don't do it! It'll be a catastrophe!
Instead, they did it. It was a catastrophe and both the antiwar crowds and the critics of that moment have been largely forgotten--those who weren't simply discredited--while the enthusiasts for the invasion, military and civilian, now often transformed into "critics" of how it and its aftermath were handled, remain the "experts" on what the US should do next. Counterintuitive as it might seem, they are the ones whose assessments still count--and that's par for the course.
Once the invasion was over, doves said, okay, at least don't occupy the country long term. Don't build massive bases. Get out while you can--and quickly. Of course, no one who mattered paid the slightest heed to such wrong-headedness in the wake of such a historic "victory." And so it went. And so it goes.
In our world as it is, force remains the essential arbiter. And when its application leads to catastrophe, the response is... simply more of the same.
Consider this conundrum logically. On the one hand, you have a method that, in our moment, has failed the United States repeatedly. On the other, you have something largely untried, an attempt to settle problems without resorting to force or, at least, with minimal force or the use of force as a genuine last resort in defense of nation, kin, and self. Yet, their efforts and our money go only into developing better ways of using force, and ever-more-powerful and eerie ways of delivering it.
Or have I missed a sudden proliferation of peace task forces and think tanks in Washington? Has anyone seen the suggestion, first made in 1792 by signer of the Declaration of Independence Benjamin Rush, and more recently by Congressman Dennis Kucinich, for the establishment of a cabinet level Department of Peace go anywhere--other than into the bottom drawer where the dossier on Kucinich's sighting of a UFO is stored?
On the one hand, failure; on the other, the unknown. You would think that, every now and then, the "opposites" principle the character George on Seinfeld applies to his failed life would hold. As Jerry Seinfeld tells him: "If every instinct you have is wrong, then the opposite would have to be right."
In Washington, though, what our former Secretary of Defense called the "known knowns" are invariably preferred, and so war rooms, not peace rooms, prevail and, as in Afghanistan today, military commanders remain our ultimate experts for whom every day is a potential do-over.
Force as Religion
In these last years in Washington, force became something close to an American religion. The Bush administration's top officials were all fundamentalists in their singular belief in the efficacy of force. In fact, they arrived convinced that an all-powerful, techno-wondrous military, unrivaled on the planet, left them with the ability to project force in ways no other power ever had. When it came to remaking the world, anything seemed possible.
What this meant was that an extreme version of military fundamentalism went hand-in-hand with an extreme version of economic fundamentalism. Today, both of these fundamentalisms are collapsing, even if a pared down version of the military half of the equation is anything but dead.
In those same years, Americans also began to genuflect before the idea of our military in ways previously unimaginable. They pledged their unending support for "our troops," now commonly referred to as "warriors," who were repeatedly hailed as the bravest, most valiant, most successful fighters around, part of the most awesome military ever. It--and they--simply could do no wrong. Given this faith, when things did go wrong, mistakes would never be blamed on the military.
As a result, while actual American soldiers were sent halfway across the planet in a distinctly unreverential way on their third, fourth, and fifth tours of duty (with few here giving much of a damn), Americans treated the idea of those "warriors" and their "mission" with ritualistic fervor.
A cold-eyed look at the record of the US military in these last years, however, tells quite a different tale. It's no small thing, after all, that US military actions in two disastrous wars managed to burnish the reputation of one of the uglier fallen dictators on the planet and pave the way for the return, as a national resistance force, of a brutish, retrograde, failed regime almost universally rejected by its own people when it fled in November 2001. I'm speaking, of course, about Iraq's Saddam Hussein and the Taliban of Afghanistan. Worse yet, the ever greater application of force, including recently the repeated firing of missiles from CIA-operated drone aircraft into the Pashtun borderlands of Pakistan, has resulted in the spread of the Taliban, religious extremism, terrorism, and war into the heartland of Pakistan, a nuclear-armed country now being destabilized.
What makes all this more remarkable is that, unlike the Soviet Union in Afghanistan in the 1980s, twenty-first century America had no impressive enemies to face in September 2001. In losing its brutal Afghan War, the Soviets confronted a superpower that was more than its match--us. In Afghanistan today, it's estimated that the Taliban consists of but 10,000-15,000 relatively lightly armed guerrillas. The Iraq insurgency was probably only marginally larger than that at its height. Al-Qaeda, with a capability for major operations every couple of years, was even less impressive, despite the 9/11 televisual spectacular it put on.
You would have to go back to Spain at the beginning of the nineteenth century to find the match for this moment. Then, the most advanced military in Europe, Napoleon's army, an imperial force advancing (like the American military in recent years) under the banner of liberty, ran into a meat grinder of an insurgency from the Sunni fundamentalists of that day--enraged Catholic peasants, often led by their priests. (If you want to know what that was like, check out Goya's unforgettable series of prints, The Disasters of War.)
In Iraq, over nearly six years, the US military has recalibrated so many times it's dizzying. Who now recalls the "revolution in military affairs" that created the "lite," high-tech military which launched a "decapitation" campaign that killed plenty of Iraqi civilians but left all of that country's leaders with their heads still firmly on their shoulders; or the "shock and awe" campaign, which mainly awed Washington--and that was before the occupation, the Sunni insurgency, and a civil war took root, after which tactical changes came and went with names like "get tough," "oil spot" and "ink blot," the "Salvador option," "clear and hold," and "the surge" as well as the "clear, hold, and build" counterinsurgency strategy which is now supposedly being transferred to Afghanistan.
Today, Iraq, still one of the most dangerous places on the planet, is far quieter than at the height of the civil violence of 2005-2006 and so the "surge," overseen by Generals David Petraeus and Ray Odierno, is said in Washington to have worked, even if it hasn't succeeded in resolving the underlying ethnic, political, and religious tensions let loose by the American invasion. A recent article on the inside pages of the New York Times, however, offers a somewhat different perspective on the effectiveness of military force in Iraq in these last years. Little aid, Times journalist Timothy Williams reports, is now available to Iraq's estimated 740,000 widows, most made so, it seems, by years of war and violence; and that figure, he indicates, may be an undercount, given the chaos in which that country remains.
If you were capable of adding to the dead husbands of those hundreds of thousands of "war widows," the dead wives, dead sisters, dead daughters, dead grandmothers and grandfathers, as well as the children who died thanks, in one way or another, to the violence of those years, not to speak of the large group of dead young men who were not yet married, you would surely have a staggering figure, a toll of perhaps a million or more Iraqis from an estimated prewar population of perhaps 26 million. That level of slaughter might qualify in scale as near genocidal. (It's worth adding that, as in the Vietnam era so many decades ago, mainstream critics of antiwar critics continue to regularly suggest that any kind of "precipitous" withdrawal of American troops would almost certainly result in a genocidal slaughter, even as such a slaughter has taken place with the troops there.)
If the staggering numbers of dead civilians in Iraq's post-2003 killing fields, and those who are still dying, are a measure of Washington's "success," it's the success of the undertaker.

I'm trying to find out anything at all about Santi Cusimano, who was born ABT 1813, most likely in Castelbuono. He had children there, at least. His wife's name was Rosa Banno. I don't have any dates for her. They had at least 3 children. Giuseppe Cusimano (born ABT 1841 in Castelbuono), who married Anna Coco (born ABT 1851 in Castelbuono) on February 22, 1873 in Castelbuono. I have the marriage record, but not the birth records for either of them.
The second child is Luigi Cusimano (born ABT 1849 in Castelbuono), who married Vincenza Castiglia (born ABT 1862 in Castelbuono) on September 21, 1879. I have both the marriage publication and marriage record for them, but no birth records.
The third child is Nicoletta Cusimano (born ABT 1852 in Castelbuono), who married Antonio LaGrua (born ABT 1848 in Castelbuono) on January 4, 1879 in Castelbuono. I have their marriage record, but no birth records. Nicoletta was also supposedly some sort of nobility, I suppose because of her marriage to Antonio LaGrua. His occupation was listed as a Mastro. His parents were Vincenzo LaGrua (died before January 4, 1879) and Nicoletta Cammarata. I don't know any other info about either of them, or anything about other children. Thank you so much for your time.
