Bandys at South Iredell tennis, 4 p.m.
Bandys at South Iredell soccer, 5:30 p.m.
East Burke at Maiden tennis, 4 p.m.
East Burke at Maiden soccer, 5 p.m.
Fighting in a second five-set volleyball match this season with Bunker Hill on Monday, the Fred T. Foard volleyball team persevered once again.
The Lady Tigers overcame a 2-1 deficit to win two-straight sets and the match against the Lady Bears 14-25, 25-15, 22-25, 25-21 and 15-10.
Fred T. Foard earned yet another shutout on the soccer field on Monday with a 6-0 victory against South Caldwell.
The Tigers, who now have nine shut outs on the season, improve to 11-1 overall and 2-1 in Northwestern 3A/4A play.
The Spartans fall to 2-8 overall 0-3 in NWC play.
Fighting against division rival New Orleans on Sunday, Carolina managed to cure its a Achilles' heel in games most of last season — the ability to finish.
Up eight points at halftime, the Panthers' offensive continued to churn and their defense stepped up in crucial moments, helping Carolina come away with a 35-27 victory against the Saints in the home opener at Bank of America Stadium.
The Panthers' defense has an ax to grind with quarterback Drew Brees and the New Orleans Saints.
Safety Charles Godfrey and several other defenders said they're still irked by the Saints decision to pursue NFL records rather than pull their starters in their 45-17 Week 17 rout of the Panthers last season. On Sunday, the division rivals meet in Carolina's home opener.
The Citadel jumped on Appalachian State early, scoring 38 points in the first half en route to a 52-28 victory on Saturday.
The Citadel moves to 3-0 overall and 2-0 in the Southern Conference for the first time since its championship season of 1992.
The Mountaineers (1-2) had won 17 of the past 18 games against the Bulldogs, including eight in a row.
Carson-Newman scored the first 20 points of the game en route to a 47-23 win over Lenoir-Rhyne on Saturday afternoon in a South Atlantic Conference football opener at Burke-Tarr Stadium.
The Eagles' Brandon Baker rushed for 104 yards on nine carries and a touchdown, while the Carson-Newman defense forced five fumbles in snapping a two-game losing streak to the Bears.
Separated by six miles in distance, Maiden and Newton-Conover added another classic to its storied football rivalry on Friday.
Behind the performances of Ricky Taylor and Grant Yowe, the Blue Devils pulled ahead early and held off a late charge by the Red Devils to come away with the 38-28 win at home.
Taylor made six catches for 120 yards and three touchdowns in the game.
Nick Bazzle has never lost to St. Stephens High School on the football field. His team kept that record perfect on Friday.
The Cougars got off to a great start and cruised to a 41-0 victory over the Indians in both team's Northwestern 3A/4A opener.
The win was Bazzle's 14th against the Indians with the previous 13 coming as the head football coach of Newton-Conover.
Despite leading 21-16 at halftime, Bunker Hill gave up 20 second half points on its way to a disappointing 36-29 Homecoming loss to East Burke in Claremont on Friday.
Larry Clark led the Cavaliers (3-2, 1-0) with 187 rushing yards and a touchdown. Fellow running back Robbie McGee added 91 yards on the ground.
The Cavaliers rushed for 302 yards in the contest.

Voting Rights
Since 2008, states across the country have passed measures to make it harder for Americans—particularly black people, the elderly, students, and people with disabilities—to exercise their fundamental right to cast a ballot. These measures include voter ID laws, cuts to early voting, and purges of voter rolls.
In June 2013, in a massive blow to civil rights and democracy, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the current coverage formula of the Voting Rights Act. The ACLU has been fighting this rollback of voting rights through both advocacy and litigation and is working to expand the right to vote for all Americans by challenging criminal disenfranchisement laws and expanding same-day and online voter registration.
Search Voting Rights
What You Need To Know
- 2008In 2008, we had the most diverse electorate in U.S. history.
- 27From 2011 to 2012, 27 measures were passed or implemented in 19 states that make it harder to vote.
- 2013In 2013, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down what had been called the "heart" of the Voting Rights Act.
Current Issues
In order to bring voter registration into the 21st century and make voting as convenient as possible, the ACLU advocates for reforms that have been demonstrated to be extremely effective at making sure that all Americans who want to cast a ballot are able to do so.
Voting rights are under attack nationwide as states pass voter suppression laws. These laws lead to significant burdens for eligible voters trying to exercise their most fundamental constitutional right. Since 2008, states across the country have passed measures to make it harder for Americans—particularly black people, the elderly, students, and people with disabilities—to exercise their fundamental right to cast a ballot.
Since 1965, the Voting Rights Act (VRA) has protected minority voters at the polls. In June 2013, in a huge blow to democracy, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down the coverage formula used for Section 5 of the VRA, which required jurisdictions with significant histories of voter discrimination to "pre-clear" any new voting practices or procedures, i.e., get federal approval from the Department of Justice, and show that they do not have a discriminatory purpose or effect.

Members of the Lansing Board of Aldermen were visited by a representative from the High Country Council of Governments during its regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, April 14.
Phil Trew, the director of planning and development from the organization gave an update on what the High Country Council of Governments does and wanted to discuss the plans the town has underway for the Lansing Creeper Trail Park.
"We're governed by a board of directors made up of one elected official from each of the 19 towns and seven counties," he said.
Including Ashe, the High Country COG also covers Alleghany, Avery, Mitchell, Watauga, Wilkes and Yancey counties. Alderman Brenda Reeves is the representative for the town of Lansing, while Commissioner Judy Porter Poe represents Ashe County.
The organization is funded with grants from the N.C. and Federal governments, as well as dues paid by local governments.
"We help local governments do whatever they want help with," Trew said.
Trew then spoke of the High Country Council of Governments' informal correspondence with Ann Rose, the head of Greater Lansing Area Development (GLAD) about the PARTF grant and project surrounding it.
"I wanted it to formalize (this correspondence) in discussion," he said. "We work with the towns and the counties, and our method of communication is typically with a town or county manager or elected officials. We have groups and individuals like (GLAD) and main street groups and individuals of the town, chambers of commerce that get familiar with our services and contact us directly."
Trew said he wanted to ensure that the town and GLAD were on the same page over the project, so his organization could be better fit to help.
"We just want to make sure that what these outside individuals and agencies are calling us to work on is in line with what the towns and counties want," he said.
Trew suggested the Board have somebody be in correspondence as well as a way to keep everybody in tune with their work.
The Board agreed to have all correspondence between Rose and the High Country COG representatives be shared with members of the town government, per Trew's request.
"Well that's a good idea, and we did as a board vote for GLAD to handle the administration of this PARTF grant that we did receive, so therefore yes, Ann is right in being your contact," Lansing mayor George Rembert said. "It is a good idea to have us in the loop as well with the correspondence."
In addition, Rembert suggested the correspondence include the Town of Lansing's email address which can be accessed by the mayor and the aldermen of the town.
Trew said his concern was about the organization being caught in the past with conflicting work between small groups and town governments, so it would be an extra step to protect against that.
"Our staff is spread thin so we really want to work on stuff that is for the towns and counties that pay our dues," he said.
In other action taken by the Lansing Board of Aldermen:
• Began the process to find a new town clerk.
• Were updated by LifeStore Bank representatives about possible loans and accounts.
• Were updated by Tim Parsons of Century 21 about a contract to buy the property beloning to Jeff Thompson for $210,000.
• Discussed the mowing contract for the town of Lansing. The contract will be on an hourly rate and no bid has been accepted yet.
• In attendance were: Aldermen Jack Brown, Dylan Lightfoot, Brenda Reeves, Mauvene Shepherd and Michelle Slaton, Lansing financial officer Beth Johnson and Mayor George Rembert. The next meeting of the Lansing Board of Aldermen will take place Monday, May 12.

Indoor spars in a Rev 1.5
Posted 26 September 2007 - 02:05 PM
Would ther be much weight savings compared to Race spars?
Posted 26 September 2007 - 02:25 PM
I know a number of people managed to get Indoor spars that were manufactured to the shorter length to fit the REV 1.5.
Anyone ever try putting indoor spars in a Rev 1.5?
Would ther be much weight savings compared to Race spars?
I understand that they flex more then the Race rods.
I think they might be slightly lighter then the Race, however the excessive flex I understand is a definite negative.
The indoor rod is definitely more fragile then the Race or the 2-wrap "professional only".
Important: Don't try to shorten original Indoor rods, you would most likely damage and weaken them.
I have not tried either of them in a 1.5.
I do have an Indoor. The rods really flex a bit too much for me.

I have tried putting indoor spars into my 1.5. the down spars were very tight. I compared the length of the Indoor LE to the 1.5 LE, and I decided not to even try to fit the indoor LE into my 1.5. I ended up using a 3 wrap 1.5 LE, with Indoor down spars on light wind days, but now I have race rods, and like them much more.
It gets a little scary when flying around with indoor spars in when a gust comes as well.

Important: Don't try to shorten original Indoor rods, you would most likely damage and weaken them.
Thanks for the tip. That's excatly what I was about to try.
Posted 26 September 2007 - 03:21 PM
Since we got the race spars however, we haven't used the skinny rods.

While planning new HR initiatives and making your HR budget projects for 2011, don't forget to factor in one crucial aspect: Convincing your chief financial officer to back your proposals.
Too many HR professionals march confidently into the CFO's office expecting instant approval, only to slump out shortly after with a rejection instead.
Truth is, getting approval for new projects and budgets can be a frustrating process that HR pros sometimes flub by making ineffective presentations and failing to understand CFOs and what they do. You can improve your chances of securing CFO support by using the following information to improve your presentations.
Understanding the CFO mindset
First, understand this about CFOs: About 54% of CFOs focus heavily on business development, while just 49% are closely involved in HR, according to Karl Ahlrichs, vice president of ExpertSpeaks, an HR and management consultancy.

HOBOKEN, N.J., Nov. 4, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) yesterday cleared the way for the U.S. market return of octagam® [Immune Globulin Intravenous (human) 5% Liquid Preparation], the Octapharma USA product used to treat disorders of the immune system.
In August 2010, Octapharma initiated a voluntary market withdrawal of selected lots of octagam® 5% in the U.S. in response to an observed increase in thromboembolic events (TEEs) and subsequently expanded the voluntary withdrawal to all lots of octagam®, illustrating the biopharmaceutical company's preference to exercise the highest level of patient safety. Over the last year, Octapharma has collaborated with the FDA in analyzing the issue of procoagulant activity in industry-wide immune globulin products, which in some cases lead to TEEs in many IVIG products on the market today.
The FDA approval was based on changes Octapharma has made in the octagam® 5% manufacturing process and the company's decision to implement a quality control test on every batch of the product that is released to the marketplace. Additionally, Octapharma will implement post-marketing studies to ensure product safety.
"We are extremely pleased that the FDA has authorized the market return of octagam® 5%," said Octapharma USA Presi

Over 100 Arrested In US, Romanian Internet Fraud Bust
Law enforcement officials from the US and Romania have teamed up to arrest more than 100 people in what is being called a year-old effort to curb online fraud schemes.
According to Reuters, Justice Department officials announced the arrests on Friday.
The schemes, they say, involved Romanian citizens pretending to be American and posting advertisements on popular websites such as eBay and Craigslist. Reuters said that those ads would promise a big-ticket item such as a boat or a car, promising delivery after funds were wired to them. The money would then be retrieved by "arrows" or middlemen using fake identities, who would in turn wire the money to Romania–minus a small percentage in commission.
The Justice Department told the wire service that the fraud schemes cost US citizens more than $100 million over the past 18 months, and that "arrows" had been arrested in Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Pennsylvania, and Texas and charged with wire fraud or related charges.
According to BBC News, a July 14 raid by police in Romania led to approximately 90 arrests.
"Police searched more than 110 houses in nine cities," the British news agency reported. "They believe an organized crime gang with a broad network posted false adverts for goods such as cars, motorbikes, boats and electronics."
Officials told the BBC that an estimated 1,000 shoppers had fallen victim to the scam.
"This type of fraud–failure to deliver promised merchandise in Internet sales–was the most common form of Internet fraud last year, according to FBI data in the 2010 Internet Crime Report," Reuters reporter Diane Bartz said on Friday.
"An ongoing Internet fraud scheme conducted by several networks of organized cyber criminals in Romania and the United States has been disrupted as a result of a series of law enforcement actions coordinated since 2010 between Romanian and U.S. law enforcement, including numerous arrests and searches that took place yesterday in Romania," the Justice Department said in a statement Friday.
"Over the last 10 years, U.S. law enforcement authorities have strengthened ties with Romanian law enforcement authorities to address the rising threats posed by Romanian-based organized cyber criminal networks. To date, hundreds of defendants have been arrested and charged in the United States, Romania, and other countries as a result of this cooperation," they added.

State officials are already expecting a shortfall in the next budget and higher education could take a big hit.
The state needs at least another $1 billion in additional revenue to meet most of the expected additional spending needs for the 2015-17 biennium, according to the Office of Financial Management.
Community college and university officials have already been told, along with some other state agencies, to begin preparing budget requests that include as much as a 15 percent reduction ahead of Gov. Jay Inslee developing a proposed budget.

Diaries are worse, since it seems very unhealthy to address a piece of paper as if it were a person. Dear Diary? I don't think so.

Finjan: Warning users or scaring up business?
- Related Stories
Viruses exploit Microsoft patch cycleNovember 10, 2004
Security expert proposes hackers' unionNovember 19, 2003
GameSpy warns security researcherNovember 13, 2003
Panel defends flaw disclosure guidelinesJuly 30, 2003
Security tools maker Finjan Software warned on Wednesday that it found as many as 10 security flaws in the last update to Microsoft's flagship operating system, Windows XP Service Pack 2.
In a statement that contained few details, the U.K. company claimed that the vulnerabilities could enable attackers to remotely access a victim's files, remove security measures aimed at Internet threats and run programs without any notification to the user.
Windows XP SP2 "suffers because it is still basically the same operating system and has some major flaws which compromise end-user security," Shlomo Touboul, CEO of the firm, said in statement. "By using Finjan's proactive security solutions...users can enjoy a secure environment that protects them from such vulnerabilities."
The company did not wait for Microsoft to fix the issues, as many security companies do, and used the announcement to push its own wares as a way to be protected from the threats.
While security researchers have sometimes outed flaws in Microsoft products before the software giant has published a patch, security companies have generally waited to announce vulnerabilities until Microsoft had a way to protect its customers. Finjan's press release has reopened the debate over what should be considered the responsible disclosure of software flaws.
In the latest case, Microsoft believes that Finjan's flaw reports are, in many cases, overstated or altogether mistaken, said Debby Fry Wilson, director of marketing for Microsoft's security business and technology unit.
"We do feel strongly that what they are doing is premature, will cause market confusion and is an overstatement of the breadth and severity," she said. "We are very disappointed that they are engaged in a PR ploy rather than thinking about what is best for customers and the security of customers."
However, Finjan's CEO maintained that the company is merely warning people that Windows XP Service Pack 2 is not a digital fortress fully protected from Internet attacks. He labeled the press release education, not confabulation.
"People need to know that they have to be careful--and without education, people won't be careful," Touboul said during an interview with CNET News.com. "I wouldn't say we are scaring people. I don't believe in panic but in very calculated behavior."
While Touboul did not say whether the company gave Microsoft 30 days to fix the issue, as has become the industry norm, he maintained that Finjan gave the software company enough time, and more than enough information to take care of the issues.
"We don't want to argue with Microsoft about these things," he said. "We found the 19 vulnerabilities, and we showed that you could take remote control of a computer."
However, Microsoft's Wilson took issue with Finjan's move, contending that the software giant does not agree on how many of the flaws are real. Moreover, because the security company released the issues piecemeal, the software giant argues that it is not certain that Finjan has even named 10 vulnerabilities.
"They have been contacting us over time regarding various issues," Wilson said. "But there is no definitive communications between Microsoft and Finjan about 10 specific issues."
How and when security vulnerabilities should be disclosed has long been debated in the security community. Many researchers believe that companies and individuals should publicly announce vulnerabilities after giving the software maker enough time to fix them. Usually, programmers get a month to fix the problems.
The line between marketing products and disclosing security vulnerabilities should be well-defined for security companies, said Geoff Shively, chief scientist at security company PivX Solutions.
"Being a security company, you have to consider the impact on global Internet security before doing anything," he said. PivX has released software flaw advisories and plugged its products, but the company always gives Microsoft adequate time to fix the issues, he said. "Vulnerabilities are too dangerous and too powerful to be used as a marketing tool."
Software creators are frequently angered by researchers who do not allow them much time to fix problems. A year ago, game information site GameSpy sent a legal warning to an Italian security researcher who had found holes in that company's products. In June 2002, Linux software makers became peeved at security company Internet Security Systems for not giving them enough time to fix a problem before releasing an advisory about the issue.

Windows users should be aware by now that a highly insecure
OS requires continuous maintenance and repair. As long as PC
users want to use Windows what other choice do they have
except to regularly buy anti-malware and download patches or
switch to either Linux or Apple?
Switching to Linux or Apple is gonna cost too? The question is,
how much dough do ya wanna spend on software and how much
time do ya wanna spend loading new software and patches on
yer machine?

For a company to use these to dup the lower IQed people in to buying what amounts to a using silicon caulking to patch the Titanic is just inexcusable.

Barricades at NYC's former Occupy camp are removed
NEW YORK Barricades surrounding a park that served as a camp for Occupy Wall Street protesters were removed Tuesday, allowing protesters to stream back in.
The atmosphere was celebratory but calm on Tuesday evening as about 300 protesters began filling New York City's Zuccotti Park a couple of hours after the barricades were taken down and a day after a complaint about the barricades was filed with the city. Protesters milled around, eating lasagna on paper plates and playing chess.
Security guards who were previously guarding the barricades stood off to the side, along with a handful of police officers. It was a minor victory for the protesters, who have complained about financial inequality in demonstrations that gained traction across the globe.
"Word spread pretty quickly, and we ran down here," demonstrator Lauren DiGioia said. "It's hard to remember what it was like before the barricades were put up."
Police spokesman Paul Browne said the NYPD and Brookfield Office Properties, the park's owner, had been talking about removing the barriers last week. The decision was made to remove them Tuesday because officials felt they were no longer necessary, Browne said.
Brookfield spokeswoman Melissa Coley confirmed in an email that the barricades were taken down but declined to comment further. A Brookfield employee who refused to give his name told an Associated Press reporter: "The barriers are down, but the other rules are the same."
Some Occupy protesters planned to stay overnight, DiGioia said, but it was unclear whether they planned to use tents or sleeping bags, which have been banned from the lower Manhattan park since an early morning police raid evicted protesters Nov. 15.
One security guard told a group of protesters: "No sleeping bags allowed, either, OK, folks?"
Zuccotti Park regulations, stipulated by Brookfield, ban everything from erecting tents or tarps to lying down on benches. Those rules were not enforced until the police raid, and were only made public after protesters began occupying the park on Sept. 17. Until then, the only visible rules posted in the park forbade skateboarding, rollerblading and bicycling.
Protester Jeff Brewer said he tried to erect a tent but it was quickly taken down by security guards.
"I was still putting in the poles when they showed up," Brewer said. "Our food is in, our library is up. I think it's going to be a big celebration for us in the park right now."
On Monday, civil rights groups filed a complaint with the city's buildings department saying the barricades were a violation of city zoning law because they restricted public access to the space. The New York Civil Liberties Union commended the removal of the barricades in a statement late Tuesday.
"We're pleased the city is finally giving the park back to the people," said NYCLU Executive Director Donna Lieberman. "We hope Zuccotti Park can now resume its rightful place as a center for meeting and protest in New York City."
"I certainly think the political pressure and public pressure and the letter from the civil rights lawyers' organizations all brought to bear on the city and Brookfield and made them consider acting a little more reasonably, at least for now," said Gideon Oliver, one of the attorneys representing the demonstrators.

A customer reported constantly seeing the following error when executing an 'sftp> ls filename' command
%TCPIP-F-SSH_ALLOC_ERROR, ssh memory allocation error
A little research showed, that this problems only happened on a directory with about 12500 files on a remote Linux system. Smaller directories were fine.
A little test on OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 TCPIP V5.7 - ECO 3 with a fairly recent TCPIP$SSH_SFTP2.EXE V57-ECO3P 21-MAR-2013 shows the following behaviour:
- created a directory with 1000 files (with names like xx-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx_20131031_nnn.CSV)
- invoked sftp "-C" user@vmshost and set default to that directory
- repeated 'ls' a couple of times until also seeing %TCPIP-F-SSH_ALLOC_ERROR
- closer examination of the process running TCPIP$SSH_SFTP2.EXE with SHOW PROC/ACC/ID=<pid> shows Peak virtual size increasing by about 105000 pagelets for each execution of the ls command against 1000 files.
- with a pagefile quota of about 500000 for the current user, the error could be reproduced on the 5th 'ls' command
So to successfully issue an 'sftp> ls' command against a directory with 12500 files, the user would need a PGFLQUOTA of at least around 1.3 million pagelets.

Thanks for some experimental numbers. Always good to have hard numbers.
I'd just like to comment that 1.3M pagelets is just over 600 Mbytes. Ultimately a PGFLQUOTA is just disk space. At todays prices, the cost of 600Mb is a fraction of a cent (even if it's commercial grade and shadowed a few times). Diagnosing an error for want of such a paltry amount of resource is a waste.
Please make sure your page files are huge, and your quotas high enough that you don't see this kind of problem.
On the other hand, This is half way to the P0 limit. Assuming these data structures haven't been explicitly moved to P2 space, the next level is to slam into the architectural wall.

MANILA, Philippines – Tropical storm "Maring" (international name Trami) maintained its speed as it moved northwest Tuesday afternoon.
The storm off Batanes, the 13th for this year, continued to enhance the southwest monsoon affecting Luzon and the Visayas.
"Metro Manila, Ilocos Region, Central Luzon, Calabarzon and the province of Benguet will experience monsoon rains which may trigger flashfloods and landslides," the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration said.
Meanwhile, Visayas and the rest of Luzon will have cloudy skies with light to moderate rainshowers and thunderstorms. Mindanao will be partly cloudy to cloudy with isolated rainshowers or thunderstorms.

Mt. Fuji poised to get World Heritage status
More News from Associated Press
TOKYO — Japan's iconic Mt. Fuji will likely win recognition as a World Heritage site.
The Agency for Cultural Affairs issued a notice Wednesday saying it had received notification that Mt. Fuji was recommended for World Heritage status by the International Council on Monuments and Sites, a body affiliated with UNESCO.
Formal approval is expected in June at a meeting in Cambodia.
A collection of cultural sites in Kamakura, a scenic town near Tokyo, were not recommended.
Mt. Fuji would be Japan's 13th cultural World Heritage site. The 3,776-meter (12,388-foot) volcanic peak is ringed by lakes, national parks, temples and shrines. It rises from the Pacific coast and is seen as a sacred part of Japan's cultural landscape. Today's climbers follow the paths worn by religious pilgrims of centuries past.

The Narendra Modi government suffered a setback on Friday with the Supreme Court ordering re-investigation of the Tulsiram Prajapati encounter case by the CBI though the State had already filed the charge sheet in July 2010.
A Bench of Justices P. Sathasivam and B.S. Chauhan, in its judgment on a writ petition filed by Narmada Bai, mother of Prajapati, directed the CBI to investigate all aspects of the December 27-28, 2006 killing and file a report before the jurisdictional court/special court within six months of its receiving documents from the Gujarat government.
(According to police accounts, Prajapati, trusted lieutenant of the slain racketeer Sohrabuddin Sheikh, escaped from the custody of an escort team on way back from Ahmedabad to Udaipur in connection with the Popular Builders case. He was tracked and killed two days later. In its report, the CBI said Prajapati was the only witness to the May 2005 abduction and killing of Sohrabuddin and his wife Kausarbi, who had been travelling by bus from Hyderabad to Sangli, Maharashtra.)
Writing the judgment, Justice Sathasivam said: "As rightly pointed out by the CBI, if two parts of the same transaction are investigated and prosecuted by different agencies, it may cause failure of justice not only in one case but in the other trial as well. It is further seen that there is substantial material already on record which makes it probable that the prime motive for elimination of Prajapati was that he was a witness to abduction of Sohrabuddin and Kausarbi. Both oral and documentary evidence raises strong suspicion that the encounter was fake and stage-managed as predicted by Prajapati [himself] prior to his death in a number of communications."
The Bench said: "Although the charge sheet was filed by the State three-and-a-half years after the incident, that too after the pronouncement of judgment in Rubbabudin's case [directing a CBI probe into the fake encounter killing of his brother, Sohrabuddin] and considering the nature of the crime that has been allegedly committed not by any third party but by the police personnel of Gujarat, we are satisfied that the investigation conducted and concluded in the present case by the State police cannot be accepted."
The Bench said: "The fact that in the case of murder of an associate of Prajapati, senior police officials and a senior politician [Amit Shah, former Gujarat Minister] were accused may shake the confidence of the public in investigation conducted by the State police. If the majesty of rule of law is to be upheld and if it is to be ensured that the guilty are punished in accordance with law notwithstanding their status and authority which they might have enjoyed, it is desirable to entrust the investigation to the CBI. Without entering into the allegations levelled by either of the parties, we are of the view that it would be prudent and advisable to transfer the investigation to an independent agency."
In the light of the involvement of police officials of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan, the Bench directed the three States to cooperate with the CBI in the investigation.
On Mr. Shah's opposition to a CBI probe, the Bench said: "It is trite law that accused persons do not have a say in the matter of appointment of an investigation agency. The accused cannot choose which agency must investigate the alleged offence committed by them."
On the petitioner's plea for compensation, the Bench said she could move the trial court for a direction, after the CBI filed its charge sheet.

Gittin back to bikes and tracks...!
Last wk/end in puyallup at the snowmobile show/ swap meet i met with the head of devolpment for t-sled and he said they had no one ask about a 950 fit kit other than myself..i thought about pointing him to AVID but then he said something that made me think " i'm not going to do his sales staff's wrk.... I asked why he had not gotten together with the guys from BDCW as they are just up the road from them, got a sense they dont work well with others... T-sled that is.. Anyway it takes two kits to become a " garage dealer" and get dealer pricing(not sure what that is yet) so my ? For anyone thinking about a kit for the 950 is... What if it turns out to be a pig? Are you able to put it on some other bike in your stable as i am or are you going to be pissed at me as the dealer? We all know you will only know if its for you after you put it on and ride it.. My perfect ride may well not be yours.. I ask this as i am heading to t-sled first of the week and would be nice to show them some input from others.. May speed up the devolpment of the fit kit as they have said they cant promise when they will get to a one off apt. Build.. I dont need my bike now so it can sit there untill they get it done but rather see it move along yet this season.. I will pass the dealer price on to the first few guys willing to drop the $$ . I just want to see what the interest might be on the mt. Here in oregon when i have mine sitting there for them to ride.. I will have a 505 bored to 549 also tracked for the guys that have a bike like that (450/535/690ect) as that is where the most kits will be sold . I just think it would be a fun "job" for me as i am lucky enough to not need a real one.. So i'm not asking for deposits just real interest to make it more fun for me..

You have to feel sorry for the airlines. The industry is well past its Golden Years, whenever they were. Some say they were in the 1930s, others in the '50s or '60s. Certainly, these years, which always look better with hindsight, were before the days of deregulation, which began in 1978.

""CEOs go to their vacation homes just after companies report favorable news, and CEOs return to headquarters right before subsequent news is released. More good news is released when CEOs are back at work, and CEOs appear not to leave headquarters at all if a firm has adverse news to disclose. When CEOs are away from the office, stock prices behave quietly with sharply lower volatility. Volatility increases immediately when CEOs return to work." —David Yermack, a New York University finance professor, whose recently released study shows a correlation between when CEOs take their private jets on vacation and movements in their companies' stock price "

Back to Upcoming Workshops
This two-day workshop is a professional "getaway" for teachers…a time to rethink and recharge…a chance to learn from experts who are passionate about teaching reading and writing. Eight powerful sessions on brand new topics unveiled at three resort Retreat venues.
Day 1 (Tuesday)
June 9 | June 16 | June 23
8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Continental breakfast & lunch buffet included
There has been much talk about raising the complexity of the texts students are reading. However, rigorous reading isn't just about the text selection. It's also about targeting multi-faceted, deep thinking during reading.
- Determine the potential "struggle points" of challenging texts.
- Provide appropriate scaffolding & instruction to guide students to deep understanding of the text.
- Teach students ways to track and annotate the journey of their thinking while reading.
After reading challenging texts, students need to be able to do something with what they read and learned. More than simply summarizing the text, students need to develop their analytic writing skills.LEARN HOW TO:
- Identify various complex-writing tasks that produce an informative or argumentative response.
- Break down the skills necessary to produce evidence-based responses.
- Provide instruction on how to synthesize ideas across multiple texts.
Students often jump right into the body of their writing, with hardly a thought about the purpose of the introduction or the significance of the conclusion. Thus, they need explicit instruction on beginnings and endings.LEARN HOW TO:
- Convey the purpose & function of different types of beginnings and endings.
- Identify the necessary ingredients for beginnings and endings within different modes—argumentative, informative, narrative.
- Advance students from safe & solid to sophisticated & powerful writing.
Marzano's "Six Step Process" for teaching academic vocabulary isn't new, but keeping the process fresh and creative can be a challenge. In this session, teachers experiment with six new strategies for spiraling through vocabulary instruction.LEARN HOW TO:
- Target each of the six steps of vocabulary instruction with new grade-level appropriate strategies.
- Adapt vocabulary strategies for successful implementation in the classroom.
Day 2 (Wednesday)June 10 | June 17 | June 24
8:30 a.m. - 3:30 p.m.
Continental breakfast & lunch buffet included
Most ELLs already learned a language—it just wasn't English. This session includes practical strategies for the general education teacher to more quickly bridge the communication gap.LEARN HOW TO:
- Make frequent connections from known to new information.
- Honor the importance of text selection and purposeful conversations.
- Recognize how the same routines that benefit ELLs also benefit native English students.
There is a lot of attention given to acquiring devices and creating products with technology. However, there should be equal attention devoted to teaching students how to infer messages from visual and multimodal texts.LEARN HOW TO:
- Identify the noteworthy characteristics of diverse visuals from literature and informational text.
- Teach students how to extract meaning and record notes from visuals.
- Look beyond the surface message and notice how words and images influence or persuade the reader.
To be college and career ready, students need to participate in the writing process routinely. However, this doesn't always have to be a long and arduous progression from pre-writing to publishing.LEARN HOW TO:
- Apply abbreviated planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing techniques.
- Recognize the increased writing expectations at each subsequent grade level.
- Incorporate peer and self-revision strategies that foster students' abilities to strengthen their own writing.
In addition to reading challenging text, we also expect students to generate more sophisticated writing. However, these objectives don't have to be separated. Utilize the complex sentence structures from the reading as mentor text to teach the writing.LEARN HOW TO:
- Identify powerful mentor text excerpts to use within writing mini-lessons.
- Infer author intentions behind their choices of sentence type, length, and structure.
- Teach students to mimic sentence-writing skills illustrated in mentor texts.
The Literacy Retreat is a professional "getaway" for teachers…a time to rethink and recharge…a chance to learn from experts who are passionate about teaching reading and writing. But what makes this event worth your time and money?
This is no pie-in-the-sky, theory workshop. The Retreat offers down-to-earth, practical strategies that can be applied right away.
Teachers will walk away with a clearer understanding of Common Core literacy standards and strategies to achieve those requirements in the classroom.
Retreat topics apply to teachers from kindergarten through high school. Each session includes skills, strategies, and examples from a broad range of grade levels.
The Literacy Retreat inspires teachers and provides them with the tools and confidence to implement new ideas within their own classroom instruction.
Over the course of two days, attendees collect brand new strategies for teaching reading and writing during eight distinct sessions. Each day will include a continental breakfast and a lunch buffet.
This year's Literacy Retreat will be offered at three unique venues, perfectly suited to provide a balance of learning, relaxation, and fun.

The New York State Bar Association's Committee on Media Law (the "Committee")writes to strongly oppose Senate Bill 8373-A ("S.8373-A"), which would add a new section to Article 5 of the New York Civil Rights Law, Section 50-f, creating a "right of publicity" for deceased persons. The bill would prohibit the use "for advertising
purposes" or "for the purposes of trade" of the "persona"—defined as "the name, portrait, voice and/or picture" —of any person who died within 70 years before the effective date of the legislations, or who dies on or after such effective date without the written permission of such person's heirs, estate or licensees. These rights would be
granted retroactively to persons who are already dead and would last for 70 years after death. Currently, the right of publicity in the state is grounded solely in New York Civil Rights Law §§50 and 51, and related case law, and the right is afforded only to living persons.
