text: The Acrobat wiki last edited by mikex20 on 08/09/13 10:39PM View full history Circus Life Carl Zante began his career as the "World's Greatest Acrobat" in a circus, where he was a world famous stuntman. As a performer, Zante never quite saw happiness in his life, so he began to pursue a different career that would still make his abilities useful but would not be as hostile. He decided that he would be a criminal due to his natural abilities and he could use them to rob banks and steal power. On one of his first days of being a criminal, he met the Human Torch, a superhuman who he believed could help him.Criminal Life Zante asked the Torch to leave the Fantastic Four and join him as the crime fighting pair the Torrid Twosome. Seeing the opportunity as a chance to really become famous and rich, Johnny Storm agreed, and the Acrobat tricked him into melting a bank vault, allowing Zante to steal the money. The Acrobat turned on Johnny, who was then aided by the Fantastic Four. The team defeated Zante, and later clashed with him on several other attempts to take power from society. Each time, the Acrobat's plans were foiled. Some time later, Zante was posing as Captain America at an Auto Show where, with the help of some co-workers, he managed to steal valuable automobiles and rob a bank. Before the Acrobat could escape with the valuables, he was stopped by the real Captain America and the Fantastic Four. He has never been seen or mentioned again.

GRESHAM, Ore. -- The Gresham Police Activities League Center will stay open at least through the end of the month.
The PAL center is an after school program for more than a hundred at risk children. More than 3000 children a year benefit from the program.
We re thrilled! said PAL Board President Mark McGinnis. Earlier in the week he said the doors would close if the organization could not make payroll by Friday. He said that would take $20-thousand-dollars.
By late Thursday McGinnis said the donors to PAL s PayPal account had contributed $8,000. The City of Beaverton and other businesses contributed another $8,000 which McGinnis said was enough.
Now the organization will focus on aggressively fund raising with corporate sponsors and explore other partnerships according to McGinnis.

Picking up after the cliffhanger in the last episode, we see the Agents jumping right into the action. With Agent Coulson being abducted, the team is highly motivated to find any clues or leads to his whereabouts. This also means the team is working with Victoria Hand and several other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents. It's a little weird seeing so many agents on the Bus. A complaint often made was the team seems to work on dangerous missions without any support.
Unfortunately not everyone is on the same page. Victoria Hand's main priority is finding leads on the Centipede organization and the team may not be allowed to operate under the procedures they've grown accustomed to.
For viewers, the main focus is finding out the secret to Agent Coulson's resurrection after seemingly getting killed in The Avengers. Coulson's abduction is to uncover how he returned from the dead and this means they want to know probably just as badly as we do.
Due to the circumstances, the episode allows some of the characters to see a little more action. They are being forced to go against protocol and this is giving us a chance to see what they just might be capable of. How much can Coulson take? What can Skye do out on her own? Can Victoria Hand be trusted?
The episode does deliver some of the goods. We do get a good look at happened to Coulson after his death. Do we have all the answers? It gets a little heavy for Coulson. Not quite but things are getting interesting. The show is getting on track. It's still not the Marvel Cinematic Universe show we want. If you try not to focus on that or the lack of actual Marvel characters, you might find yourself getting pulled into the show. There's still more answers to be revealed but at least we're starting to get somewhere.

With 34 deaths in 2013 and the number already crossing 15 till April this year, the increase in death rate of inmates in Asia's biggest prison, Tihar, has become a cause of concern for officials. Usually the average death rate of inmates in Tihar remains around two to three deaths a year, except the cases of death sentences.
But in the last one-and-a-half years, this trend has seen an unprecedented change and death rate inside the jail premises has increased by a whopping 100 per cent. In the last week of April this year, five deaths were recorded.
Since January this year, 15 inmates have died out of whom, one, Rajvender, 40, an under-trial was murdered by inmates and the other, Vishal, 27, was found hanging from the ceiling. In 2012, the number of total deaths in Tihar was 18 whereas in 2013 this number climbed to 36, if we include two death penalties, one of which was given to Parliament House attack mastermind Afzal Guru. "Certainly, this is worrying figure.
But majority of deaths have occurred from natural causes and the biggest reason for this is that majority of inmates coming to jail have serious ailments in advance which result in deterioration of their health in jail's tough conditions.
But still we need to see the causes of rise in the death rate," said Sunil Gupta, a senior Tihar official. Both Rajvender, who was murdered by inmates, and Vishal, who was found hanging from ceiling, were under trial on murder charges. This is not the first time inmates have murdered a fellow inmate, last year a prisoner named Javed had lost his life in a brawl between the inmates. Javed was serving his seven-year jail term in a dacoity case.
Tihar often boasts of having CCTV cameras in place and so what are the reasons that each time any prisoner dies, CCTV cameras don't catch anything. "Actually the installation of CCTV cameras hasn't finished yet. Tihar needs around 400 cameras across its premises, and till now only 250 cameras have been put in place. We will soon finish the work. As far as deaths in April are concerned, a majority of them were natural," added Gupta.
Apart from Rajvender and Vishal, last month, one woman was found dead in jail number 6 whereas two male inmates were found dead in jail number 4. A metropolitan magistrate is conducting an inquiry into these deaths. Till now, no inquiry has been completed yet.
Suicide and brawl between the inmates are the two major reasons apart from the other natural causes of death. According to statistics, in the last 10 years, 22 inmates have committed suicide, including Ram Singh who is one of the accused in December 16 rape case. News of inmates carrying weapons like blade and knife have often surfaced and top officials don't hesitate in denying that the jail staff often plays a main role in providing these things to inmates. 17 officials were suspended by the jail authorities following allegations of corruption in 2013. Inquiry against 35 corrupt officials was also initiated last year. "18 blades were recovered from inmates in 2013. Majority of those inmates dying is under-trials and hence we are trying to curtail the rate of under-trials inside the jail," said the official.
Second biggest reason given by jail authorities was the increasing number of inmates in the jail.
"The jail's capacity is around six thousand inmates, but we usually have around 12 thousand inmates which mean the facilities meant for one inmate have to be shared by two. In the last one year, this number reached to almost 15 thousand which is way beyond jail's capacity, so the infrastructure is under pressure which sometimes become a bone of contention between inmates which results in brawls," added another source in jail.

Arizona AG Horne wants commission to OK voter proof
PHOENIX -- Arizona Attorney General Tom Horne wants a federal commission to approve a state provision requiring that those registering to vote using a federal form provide proof of citizenship and warned Wednesday that he will sue if the commission doesn't act.
The U.S. Supreme Court in June ruled that Arizona could not require such proof from people using the federal form. But the high court said Arizona could ask the Election Assistance Commission to approve the citizenship proof requirement. If the commission refused, Arizona could ask a federal court to overturn the commission's decision.
Horne released a letter to the commission on Wednesday saying he would sue if they didn't allow the proof requirement by Aug. 19. He noted that Justice Antonin Scalia's opinion pointed out that the commission approved similar requirements in Louisiana.
``To grant Louisiana what is denied to Arizona, would evidence inexplicable hostility to the citizens of Arizona, who passed Proposition 200 overwhelmingly,'' Horne wrote, referring to the measure requiring certain identification to vote.
Louisiana's request was much different and only required information that was already required at the polls for those using the federal form, said Nina Perales, vice president of litigation for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, a lawyer on the case decided by the Supreme Court. Arizona is asking for much more, proof of citizenship, she said.
``That is very different from Arizona asking for documentation that is never going to be required under federal law,'' Perales said.
Arizona was rebuffed by the commission after Proposition 200 was passed, when then-Secretary of State Jan Brewer asked for permission to require citizenship proof with the federal forms. The commission told Brewer the state could not require that proof to use the federal form.
``I think that the EAC is going to respond with the same decision that it gave Arizona back in 2005, that the EAC will tell Arizona that it cannot impose these document requirements because they conflict with the National Voter Registration Act,'' Perales said.
Most Arizonans use a state form that requires proof of citizenship as defined by the 2004 proposition, which includes an Arizona driver's license issued after 1996, a U.S. birth certificate, a passport or other similar document. The Arizona law required similar proof before the state would approve the federal registration application.
But the high court's 7-2 ruling held that states were required to accept the federal form and could not adopt their own rules on their own.
Election Assistance Commission staff said Horne's letter hadn't arrived so they could not comment. The commission currently has no active commissioners. The four commissioners are supposed to be nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate, but the last two left in 2011, according to the panel's website.

Evaluation of five social work practice (SWP) pilots started up in England between December 2009 and May 2010. These independent organisations were commissioned by local authorities to provide services for looked after children and care leavers.
The pilots were introduced to discover whether smaller social work-led organisations independent of local authorities could improve the morale and retention of social workers and bring decision making closer to front-line practice.
Guardian article which explains how a project in Scotland involved young people in planning and designing care leavers' services.
Concerns have been raised regarding the care and support received by children who go missing from care. In response to these concerns, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Runaway and Missing Children and Adults and the APPG for Looked After Children and Care Leavers called a parliamentary Inquiry to examine these issues more closely.
Report that gives the views of young people who are about to leave boarding schools for adult life, of residential students in further education colleges, and of care leavers, about learning and preparing for life as independent adults. It compares the views of those moving into independent adulthood from these very different backgrounds.
The NSPCC is calling on central and local government to address the risks for children returning home from care. They must improve performance, eliminate variations in practice across local authorities, and increase the support provided to children and their parents. Taken together, these measures could ensure that returns home are successful and that all children are protected from harm.
Case study about developing good relationships between young people with emotional and behavioural difficulties and staff in a residential children's home.
Report that starts dialogue with central government by suggesting particular areas and issues that should be addressed in four government depar tments: Communities and Local Government; Department for Work and Pensions; Department for Business, Innovation and Skills and Department of Health. In addition it proposes that that the Department for Education, which has primary responsibility for care leavers, joins with the Cabinet Office to lead a cross government approach to improving journeys from care to adulthood.
Report that looks at the use of performance tables in leaving care. It provides an overview of the data published by the Department for Education (DFE) in the autumn of 2011 and summarises feedback from the sector on the strength of the data.
It is based on feedback from members of the National Leaving Care Benchmarking Forum (NLCBF), a network of around 50 local authorities and organisations, coordinated by the National Care Advisory Service (NCAS) at Catch22.
Policy report that considers how, despite significant improvements in legislation and statutory guidance, culture and practice across the care system does not consistently support high levels of achievement in education for young people in and from care.
Open Doors, Open Minds was a project run by The Who Cares? Trust in 2011/12 which explored the barriers that prevent young people in and from care pursuing and completing courses of study in further and higher education.
Report that gives the views of young people, mainly from among those who have left care, about their experience of care and leaving care. As well as looking at what young people have said, we have also tried to see whether they have been getting what the law says that they should be. This report should give an important insight into how well the care system is doing for children and young people, and how it prepares them for their own future, through the eyes of those leaving care for independent adult life.

3rd death linked to Philadelphia serial strangler
PHILADELPHIA Police in Philadelphia say a third homicide is the work of a serial strangler and are pleading with residents not to become vigilantes as the search continues for the killer.
Authorities said Tuesday that DNA links the death of 27-year-old Casey Mahoney to the slayings of two women found beaten, raped and strangled in the city's Kensington section.
Three other women reported surviving sexual assaults in the area, two of whom said they were choked into unconsciousness.
The mayor has announced a $30,000 reward for information leading to the culprit's arrest and conviction.
Authorities stressed that neighbors must not take the law into their own hands. A man falsely identified as a suspect on Facebook called police for help after fearing vigilantes.
THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Authorities offered a $30,000 reward Tuesday for information on a serial strangler suspected in up to three deaths and three other attacks, even as they pleaded with the public not to become vigilantes in a case that has put a rough-and-tumble neighborhood on edge.
Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter joined police brass at a news conference in the city's Kensington section, steps from where the killer's second victim was found, and asked for residents' help.
"We strongly believe that someone - possibly in the neighborhood - someone, somewhere in the city of Philadelphia knows who this person is, or knows about them," Nutter said. "We are serious about getting this psycho off the streets."
Police investigating nine assaults in the area dating to early October have so far linked two deaths through DNA: Elaine Goldberg, 21, and Nicole Piacentini, 35, both of Philadelphia.
Each was beaten, raped and strangled in early November, their bodies dumped near trash-strewn lots about a mile apart. Relatives and police say both women struggled with drugs.
Police are awaiting test results on the body of a possible third victim, 27-year-old Casey Mahoney of East Stroudsburg, which is about 70 miles north of Philadelphia.
Three other women reported surviving sexual assaults in the same area, including one who said she was choked and left unconscious on the same lot where Piacentini was found.
The clamor around the attacks led to the creation of a Facebook page, "Catch the Kensington Strangler, before he catches someone you love."
People have filled the site with comments and theories about the case, but someone also falsely identified a suspect, leading to a crowd outside the man's home. Fearing a vigilante mob, he called police, who later publicly declared his innocence.
On Tuesday, Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey warned against such behavior even when the culprit is identified.
"We will not tolerate anyone taking vigilante action against this individual," Ramsey said. "If you see someone suspicious, call 911. We will get there. We will handle."
In another Kensington case last year, a man suspected of raping an 11-year-old girl was severely beaten by angry neighbors who recognized him from a police photo. He was later charged and pleaded guilty.

The Seirin High basketball team was at their usual training camp, and of course the team members were up to their usual nonsense. The members of the team were gathered in their shared room doing whatever, but there were one pair who was up to something unusual to say the least. There was a strange air between the two that could possibly be construed as sexual tension.
"Kuroko, give me back my pillow," Kagami growled, glaring over at the smaller teen sitting across the room from him.
Kuroko shook his head, staring at him with defiant blue eyes. He clutched the pillow close to his chest. Tetsuya #2 clambered into his lap and snuggled as close as possible to Kagami's pillow. The damn dog even laid his head on the edge of it!
Kagami's eyes widened in horror. "Kuroko, give me my pillow back right now!" he demanded, jumping to his feet.
Kuroko smirked like he was planning something devious. "Why don't you come and get it then," he taunted in that monotone voice of his. A m

I've tested other quick draws on the market and these are my favorite for the price. They are light, so if you build a full rack they don't weigh you down as much, and the gates have just the right amount of spring action for clipping. My favorite features are the curved gate for rope clipping, and the multiple colors for quick identification of which carabiner clips to your bolts or protection.
These quickdraws are really good. I like that are very lightweight and the rope clips easily. I bought some 11 cm and some of 15 cm. The latter are better because they give you less friction with the rock.Totally worth product for the price
Love these quickdraws, the price is great and they are very solid. I would recommend the 11 cm dogbones as the 15 cm's are a little looser than i would like. The wiregates on these are awesome, easy to clip. And i love that the rock side of these are orange,makes it quick and easy to tell which one to bolt clip while on the wall.
The dog bone length on the 15cm is my preference, but you can choose what you want (which is nice). These draws are nice and light, great for sport and trad crack climbs that don't meander too much. 22kn is always strong enough for me.
They are an amazing price for what you get. Both of the biners have smooth clipping and it is a light combination for the price. They also look cool. For sport they work wonders, but for trad they still walk your gear a little.

Judy's December 1980 appearance on Battle of the Network Stars
A few years after the end of the series and the first 3 movie specials, Judy posed in the August 1985 issue of Playboy Magazine.
This issue can be viewed here.
|Playboy Magazine
August 1985
That wasn't an image I was too comfortable with. It was too ... boring. It wasn't what my life was and it wasn't what I wanted it to be. But I resent that character only when it limits people's assessment of me. Even when it was the main thing in my life, it still wasn't the only thing. There was another whole person who went home between shots."
Understandably, the development of that other person in the shadow of the overwhelming TV image wasn't easy, but Judy is a child-star survivor. She's tough, she's bright and intense. When she's interested in something, her entire being is focused on it; when she's bored, she makes a quick exit.
fact that i feel confident - well pretty confident - about what I'm doing, there's still a chance that something could go wrong. And then there's always that urge to push it a little but more. Like, with skiing. As i get better, I try harder hills or skiing a little faster.
"I'm sort of a dilettante, playing at everything. I like to be busy, but I hate being mediocre at anything, so I've got to choose: Either I'm going to give up some things and concentrate on what I really want to do."
"I need a constant challenge. One of the problems that I rush into in a relationship is mental parity. I want someone who's active, because I'm so active, I want someone i can go out and do things with - someone who's creative.
But there's also the personal side. You can't rub each other the wrong way too often. Everyone has pet peeves. But my theory is that in a working relationship, the flaws one person has can't be those that drive the other person crazy.
"One reason I enjoy theater more, in a way, than television is the audience. There's that feeling of creating something that holds the attention of people. It's a form of control, a form of power, because you are, for that given amount of time, taking these people on a little trip with you. And if you are good, you hold their interest; you make them believe and care and laugh and cry with you. Then, if it all works, there's a great sense of accomplishment. You did it!"

My not-in-any-way-canonical take on the seemingly inappropriate high registration numbers is that a)Starfleet keeps a number of older vessels mothballed, b)SF refits them when a temporary need for more ships arises, and c) many of the numbers represent reactivated Excelsior hulls in which the original names have passed on to newer vessels.
I don't see why Starfleet wouldn't build new excelsiors though. The technology didn't change in the last 80 years. Sure the existing tech has improved, but there was no revolutionary new technology in play. Galaxy class is projected for 100 years...
If Lakota can be upgraded to be able to match a defiant class in firepower, why not keep building them from ground up?
Until Sovereign class was built, which ship would fill the roll of excelsior better than excelsior?

Mock Draft: Predicting the Chargers' picks
Chargers need to select defensive lineman, cornerback and offensive tackle
7) Tampa Bay (4-12) — Anthony Barr, OLB, UCLA, Sr.
Barr followed up his breakout junior season with 20 tackles-for-loss, the fifth-highest total in the nation. He added 10 sacks, 43 solo tackles, five forced fumbles and four fumbles recovered. He's still raw, though, considering he's only played the position for two seasons. He's not as polished as Mack. Top needs: DE, WR, OT.
8) Minnesota (5-10-1) — Blake Bortles, QB, Central Florida, So.
New offensive coordinator Norv Turner has the credentials to develop someone like Bortles. Obviously, a high upside pick, but his skills are still maturing. Top needs: QB, DE, OG.
9) Buffalo (6-10) — Greg Robinson, OT, Auburn, So.
Robinson was a powerhouse left tackle for the Tigers and has the physical blocking style to succeed on the right side as well. He's devastating in the run game. Top needs: OT, S, DE.
10) Detroit (7-9) — Darqueze Dennard, CB, Michigan St., Sr.
Dennard is a tough, experienced playmaker with above-average size and great instincts when the ball is in the air. He plays smart, and is coming off a phenomenal season for the Spartans. Top needs: CB, WR, S.
11) Tennessee (7-9) — Cyrus Kouandjio, OT, Alabama, Jr.
One of the bigger decisions the Titans will face this offseason is whether to part ways with veteran right tackle David Stewart. Kouandjio, a consensus All-American, started at left tackle for Alabama for the last two years and played a key role in the Crimson Tide's run to the 2011 and 2012 Bowl Championship Series titles. Top needs: S, DE, OT.
12) N.Y. Giants (7-9) — C.J. Mosley, ILB, Alabama, Sr.
Giants co-owner John Mara said addressing the offensive line was the Giants No. 1 priority this off-season, but they shouldn't forget about their poor defense as well. Mosley's athleticism and instincts are off the charts, and he could have easily been a first round draft pick last season. I know they haven't drafted a linebacker in the first round since Carl Banks, but I just don't see how they pass on a talent like Mosley if he's here. Top needs: LB, CB, OL.
13) St. Louis (7-9) — HaHa Clinton-Dix, S, Alabama, Jr.
The Rams need to find an upgrade next to last year's draft pick T.J. McDonald. Clinton-Dix is the unquestioned top safety in this draft. Top needs: S, WR, OL.
14) Chicago (8-8) — Louis Nix, DT, Notre Dame, Jr.
The Bears' defensive line has been ravaged by injuries this season and they need to add some youth to the position. A monster in the middle like Nix could have positive ripple effects for the entire defense (See: Lotulelei, Star). Much like line-mate Stephon Tuitt, Nix underperformed this season, but very few lineman possess his combination of athleticism and power. He's a Top 10 talent. Top needs: DL, S, OG, C.
15) Pittsburgh (8-8) — Timmy Jernigan, DT, Florida St., Jr.
The Steelers have one of the oldest defenses in the league, so an infusion of talented youth is needed this offseason. Jernigan was dominant in the national championship. Top needs: OT, DL, DB.

Texan flies in first airship?
On this day in 1865, pioneer aviator Jacob Friedrich Brodbeck may have made the first flight in an airplane--almost forty years before the Wright brothers--in a field about three miles east of Luckenbach. The Württemberg native settled in Fredericksburg in 1847. He had always had an interest in mechanics and inventing; in Germany he had attempted to build a self-winding clock, and in 1869 he designed an ice-making machine. His most cherished project, however, was his "air-ship," with a propeller powered by coiled springs. The 1865 model featured an enclosed space for the "aeronaut," a water propeller in case of accidental landings on water, a compass, and a barometer. The machine was said to have risen twelve feet in the air and traveled about 100 feet before the springs unwound completely and the machine crashed to the ground. Another account, however, says that the initial flight took place in San Pedro Park, San Antonio, where a bust of Brodbeck was later placed. Yet another account reports that the flight took place in 1868, not 1865. All the accounts agree, however, that Brodbeck's airship was destroyed by its abrupt landing, although the inventor escaped serious injury. After this setback, his investors refused to put up the money for a second attempt, and he embarked on a unsuccessful fund-raising tour of the United States. Brodbeck returned to Texas and lived on a ranch near Luckenbach until his death in 1910.

Hibbert, Pacers rebound to beat Wizards
More News from Associated Press
INDIANAPOLIS, United States—Roy Hibbert overcame his lackluster playoffs with a season-best 28 points and nine rebounds to lead the Indiana Pacers to an 86-82 victory over the Washington Wizards on Thursday (Manila time) to level the Eastern Conference semifinals at 1-1.
It was a stark contrast to Hibbert's abysmal, scoreless showing in Monday's loss — and most of this year's playoffs.
But after hearing 48 hours of constant criticism and continual questions, Hibbert responded with the kind of game Indiana desperately needed. He made his first four shots, dominated the middle and produced big basket after big basket.
Game 3 is Saturday (Manila time) in Washington.
Marcin Gortat had 21 points and Bradley Beal added 17 for the Wizards.
Washington took a 77-74 lead with 5:01 left in the game. Indiana scored six straight and never trailed again.
Washington had won all four of its previous road playoff games — three at Chicago and Monday night in Indy.

I just put in two consecutive allnighters, that will eat up some miles real quick. Took today off though to recuperate
I'll probably do an all day sail to Georgetown, then, if the weather is right, all the way to Beufort, NC. The ICW may be great in bad weather, or if you have a trawler, but I prefer offshore for making time.
I'm about halfway between Skull Creek Marina and Port Royal Sound, in a little group of shoal islands. Three different rivers here, and tidal current, but otherwise, seems a great place for sailing.

Joseph D. Ortiz
With training in Aquatic Biology and Oceanography, I work at the interface between sciences unraveling climate mysteries, exploring the relationship between sedimentary strata, and helping to improve water quality using electromagnetic sensing techniques.
My primary research interest is in the area of paleoclimate. I study sedimentary records to extract climate-related information on seasonal to glacial-interglacial time scales. I employ diverse methods ranging from marine micropaleontology to light isotope geochemistry and core and well logging to decipher Earth's climate record.

The Telangana Joint Action Committee (JAC) has set January 28 as the deadline for the Central government to announce a time-bound programme for the formation of a separate Telangana State.
Failing this, all MLAs from the region will stage a dharna in front of the office of Assembly Speaker N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on January 29 to press for the acceptance of their resignations. As a build-up to this action, the JAC resolved to organise relay hunger strike camps across the region from January 16 to 28. At least five MLAs have been asked to participate in the camp in Hyderabad everyday.
At a stormy meeting held here on Tuesday, the JAC called upon people of the region to hoist Telangana flags atop their houses till the Bill on separate State was introduced in Parliament and asked employees to wear black badges while attending to their duties.
Telangana Rashtra Samiti(TRS) president K. Chandrasekhar Rao wanted the MLAs to insist on acceptance of their resignations on January 18 itself, in line with a resolution passed by his party's politburo.
The last date was, however, extended after Congress representatives, including former Ministers K. Jana Reddy and R. Damodar Reddy, sought time to impress upon the party high command and convince all the Telangana Congress MLAs to put in their papers.The decision to "precipitate a constitutional crisis" by way of resignations by MLAs and MPs was taken after the TDP, TRS, BJP and MLAs of the Praja Rajyam strongly pitched for it.
Addressing the participants, Mr. Rao observed that the pressure mounted by leaders from coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions turned out to be an impediment to the formation of a separate Telangana. "If they can mount pressure, why can't we?" he said.
JAC convenor M. Kodandaram said slogans of Jai Telangana would be painted on every house in the region and it would be mandatory to recite the Telangana Talli song in every school. The steering committee of the JAC would meet again on Wednesday to finalise other programmes to be taken up in the region. It was resolved to ask elected representatives at various levels to pass resolutions in favour of separate Telangana and forward it to the Central government and prepare themselves to quit their posts anytime.
Keywords: Telangana issue, JAC, sets, deadline, January 28, TRS chief, K. Chandrasekhar Rao

However, because the CMS ruling on these new policies came so late in the year, many believe there is little that can be done before the changes are instituted in less than month.
Legislatures in Washington have a small window of time left to intervene before the end of the year. "It is just not right for the government to take away a treatment that is so effective and is life saving," Kaminski said.
Doctors are hoping legislative action can halt the payment cuts for now so that more accurate calculations can be gathered over the next year to further refine the costs.
"We tell our patients to write their congressmen," said Silver.
Meanwhile, Foster continues to speak out on behalf of the treatment that saved her life and hopes the decision of CMS to cut reimbursement is somehow reversed.
"They are penalizing patients if they eliminate this therapy," she said. "It would be an absolute travesty if people aren't given this treatment."

Mim. 2The revelation of the Scripture is from Allah, the Mighty, the Wise. 3Lo! in the heavens and the earth are portents for believers. 4And in your creation, and all the beasts that He scattereth in the earth, are portents for a folk whose faith is sure. 5And the difference of night and day and the provision that Allah sendeth down from the sky and thereby quickeneth the earth after her death, and the ordering of the winds, are portents for a people who have sense. 6These are the portents of Allah which We recite unto thee (Muhammad) with truth. Then in what fact, after Allah and His portents, will they believe? 7Woe unto each sinful liar, 8Who heareth the revelations of Allah recited unto him, and then continueth in pride as though he heard them not. Give him tidings of a painful doom. 9And when he knoweth aught of Our revelations he maketh it a jest. For such there is a shameful doom. 10Beyond them there is hell, and that which they have earned will naught avail them, nor those whom they have chosen for protecting friends beside Allah. Theirs will be an awful doom. 11This is guidance. And those who disbelieve the revelations of their Lord, for them there is a painful doom of wrath. 12Allah it is Who hath made the sea of service unto you that the ships may run thereon by His command, and that ye may seek of His bounty, and that haply ye may be thankful; 13And hath made of service unto you whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; it is all from Him. Lo! herein verily are portents for a people who reflect. 14Tell those who believe to forgive those who hope not for the days of Allah; in order that He may requite folk what they used to earn. 15Whoso doeth right, it is for his soul, and whoso doeth wrong, it is against it. And afterward unto your Lord ye will be brought back. 16And verily we gave the Children of Israel the Scripture and the Command and the Prophethood, and provided them with good things and favoured them above (all) peoples; 17And gave them plain commandments. And they differed not until after the knowledge came unto them, through rivalry among themselves. Lo! thy Lord will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that wherein they used to differ. 18And now have We set thee (O Muhammad) on a clear road of (Our) commandment; so follow it, and follow not the whims of those who know not. 19Lo! they can avail thee naught against Allah. And lo! as for the wrong-doers, some of them are friends of others; and Allah is the Friend of those who ward off (evil). 20This is clear indication for mankind, and a guidance and a mercy for a folk whose faith is sure. 21Or do those who commit ill-deeds suppose that We shall make them as those who believe and do good works, the same in life and death? Bad is their judgment! 22And Allah hath created the heavens and the earth with truth, and that every soul may be repaid what it hath earned. And they will not be wronged. 23Hast thou seen him who maketh his desire his god, and Allah sendeth him astray purposely, and sealeth up his hearing and his heart, and setteth on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (hath condemned him)? Will ye not then heed? 24And they say: There is naught but our life of the world; we die and we live, and naught destroyeth us save time; when they have no knowledge whatsoever of (all) that; they do but guess. 25And when Our clear revelations are recited unto them their only argument is that they say: Bring (back) our fathers. then, if ye are truthful. 26Say (unto them, O Muhammad): Allah giveth life to you, then causeth you to die, then gathereth you unto the Day of Resurrection whereof there is no doubt. But most of mankind know not. 27And unto Allah belongeth the Sovereignty of the heavens and the earth; and on the day when the Hour riseth, on that day those who follow falsehood will be lost. 28And thou wilt see each nation crouching, each nation summoned to its record. (And it will be said unto them): This day ye are requited what ye used to do. 29This Our Book pronounceth against you with truth. Lo! We have caused (all) that ye did to be recorded. 30Then, as for those who believed and did good works, their Lord will bring them in unto His mercy. That is the evident triumph. 31And as for those who disbelieved (it will be said unto them): Were not Our revelations recited unto you? But ye were scornful and became a guilty folk. 32And when it was said: Lo! Allah's promise is the truth, and there is no doubt of the Hour's coming, ye said: We know not what the Hour is. We deem it naught but a conjecture, and we are by no means convinced. 33And the evils of what they did will appear unto them, and that which they used to deride will befall them. 34And it will be said: This day We forget you, even as ye forgot the meeting of this your day; and your habitation is the Fire, and there is none to help you. 35This, forasmuch as ye made the revelations of Allah a jest, and the life of the world beguiled you. Therefor this day they come not forth from thence, nor can they make amends. 36Then praise be to Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, the Lord of the Worlds. 37And unto Him (alone) belongeth Majesty in the heavens and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise.

The White House's First Celebrity Dog
Bo, the Obama's First Pooch, has a legacy to live up to in Laddie Boy, the family pet of President Harding
- By Diane Tedeschi
- Smithsonian.com, January 22, 2009
Library of Congress
UPDATED: April 13, 2009
Over the Easter weekend, a carefully guarded White House secret leaked out: The Obama girls, Malia and Sasha, finally have a puppy. His name is Bo, and he's a six-month-old Portuguese water dog. Just hours after his identity was revealed, Bo was already an Internet sensation. But he won't be the first celebrity White House dog. That honor goes to Laddie Boy, an Airedale terrier who was the pet of President Warren G. Harding and his wife, Florence.
Though there were many presidential pets before him, Laddie Boy was the first to receive regular coverage from newspaper reporters. "While no one remembers him today, Laddie Boy's contemporary fame puts Roosevelt's Fala, LBJ's beagles and Barney Bush in the shade," says Tom Crouch, a Smithsonian Institution historian. "That dog got a huge amount of attention in the press. There have been famous dogs since, but never anything like this."
During their time in the White House, from 1921 to 1923, the Hardings included their dog in almost every aspect of their daily lives. When Harding golfed with friends, Laddie Boy tagged along. During cabinet meetings, the dog sat in (perched on his own chair). At fundraising events, the first lady frequently had Laddie Boy make appearances. The dog was such a prominent White House personality that the Washington Star and the New York Times seemed to run stories about the terrier almost daily in the months after Harding took office. In a 39-day period in the spring of 1921, these are just some of the headlines that appeared in the Times:
"Gets Airedale as Mascot"
"Laddie Boy a Newsboy"
"Trees White House Cat"
"Laddie Boy Gets Playmate"
Born on July 26, 1920, at the Caswell Kennels in Toledo, Ohio, Laddie Boy was 6 months old when he arrived at the White House on March 5, 1921, the day after Harding's inauguration. A sitting U.S. senator from Marion, Ohio, Harding had won the 1920 presidential election with 60 percent of the popular vote. Harding, who had brought his relaxed and informal work style to the presidency, instructed his staff to bring Laddie Boy to him as soon as he was delivered to the White House. The staff obeyed, interrupting Harding's first cabinet meeting to unveil the terrier. "With many manifestations of pleasure, the President led his new pet into his office, where he made himself at home," wrote a Times reporter on March 5.
Will the future Obama dog get the kind of Oval Office access that Laddie Boy had? If Barack Obama is as besotted with his dog as Harding was with Laddie Boy, possibly. But it's probably fair to say that Obama would not be getting a dog had he not promised his daughters a puppy to make up for the inconveniences they endured during the presidential campaign. "I guess I'm a little disappointed that he didn't have a dog previously," says Ronnie Elmore, associate dean of the College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University, who has developed a side career as a historian of presidential pets. "And then that it has taken so long to get the dog. There are kennels in the White House, and a dog could be assimilated into the White House scene very quickly and without any real responsibility for the Obamas other than to play with the dog once in a while."
The White House kennels existed in Laddie Boy's day, but the Airedale seems to have spent little time there. He was too busy roaming the White House living quarters, where the Hardings doted on him like the child they never had—together. Before her marriage to Harding, Florence had struggled to support herself as an unwed mother after giving birth to a son when she was 20. When the boy was 4 years old, he was sent to live with Florence's wealthy parents, who raised the child as their son. As for Harding, throughout his marriage, he relentlessly—and successfully—pursued sexual relationships with other women, at least one of whom bore him a child.
Tall and handsome, Harding certainly looked presidential, and he was an eloquent speaker, but he likely would not have won the White House without the help of the ambitious Florence, who was five years his senior. Before beginning his political career, Harding had been the owner of a struggling newspaper in Marion. After marrying Harding, Florence did her best to bring order to her husband's private and professional lives. Under her expert management, Harding's newspaper became profitable. No wonder Harding referred to his wife as "the Duchess." "Psychologically, they were a whale of an interesting couple," says historian Crouch.
However much Florence tried to keep her husband on the right path, she was unable to prevent the scandals that would rock his administration. Harding appointed several of his friends to his cabinet, many of whom were not worthy of a president's trust. While Harding's cabinet included the future 31st president, Herbert Hoover, as secretary of commerce, it also had Albert Fall as secretary of interior, who rented federal land to oil companies in exchange for personal loans.
While Harding was a flawed president, he was, in the words of a New York Times story published on March 12, "kindly, simple, neighborly and genuine." His kindness found expression in love for animals; indeed both Hardings supported the humane treatment of all creatures. In an editorial that Harding had authored while still editor of the Marion Star, he wrote: "Whether the Creator planned it so, or environment and human companionship have made it so, men may learn richly through the love and fidelity of a brave and devoted dog." The president took such pleasure in Laddie Boy that he had 1,000 bronze miniatures made in the dog's image shortly after taking office. Like a proud father handing out cigars to celebrate the birth of a child, Harding had the dog statuettes sent to his political supporters in Washington, D.C., and to those back in Ohio.
The Laddie Boy miniatures have become a rare find for collectors of presidential memorabilia, commanding between $1,500 and $2,000, says Kansas State veterinarian Elmore. He feels fortunate to have one in his collection. "I had been looking for one all over the country and on eBay," he says. "And one afternoon my wife was at an antiques store here in Manhattan, Kansas, and just as she was leaving, she looked down and saw Laddie Boy in a glass case. And she just about fainted. It turns out that there was an elderly person that lived here who had died, and at the estate sale, the antique's dealer bought a box of junk, and Laddie Boy was in there."

guess its a sign of the times, however an airedale found me, A pure bread Airedale. He was very thin probably been on the street wondering for weeks, I love Him, He also goes with me everywhere, He came to me on the same month and day my last dog died six years ago. He was turned in to the spca to see if anyone would claim him and they didnt, I was very happy to get him back. I named him Max, spca said he is about two years old.

The story about the Laddie Boy was so well told. Our family has had several dogs throughout 53 years and they all were loved and we still tell the stories of these special pets. Today we have a Chihauhau who is like a therapy dog for my hus band. Bo is a small package of big love. He is a rescued dog and I am so glad he is in our present senior lives. I will be interested to watch what kind of life the new Presidents dog will have.

The Portuguese Water Dog are wonderful pets, their curly hairs are so handsome and they are good for allergic people. A good choice for the Obama family, now some questions remain: male or female, how will they call it?

As a proud Airedale owner...I must say no better breed of dog to be a famous dog! What wonderul taste!

Excelent article, you made my day. Dogs are gifted creatures who fills our lives. I have a Schnauzer,a bless from God indeed. I hope the Obamas want a dog for real, not part of the show.

I am lucky enough to be kept by a terrific Airedale by the name of Rachel. We got her through Airedale Rescue (the Oregon Chapter). I would recommend going this route if one doesn't want to go through the puppy phase. Rachel is our 2nd Airedale, the first was Duncan who was a rascal but he did make me laugh everyday. Rachel is a beauty & goes everywhere with us. My friend even tried to take her to a wedding last summer but I informed him that dogs do not go to weddings!

Thank you so much for this feature. I have been reading a lot about presidential pets for my blog, The Obama Dog Blog, and I am embarrassed to say I never heard of Laddie Boy. I especially enjoyed seeing the many photos of him. Great article. I featured it on my blog... http://dreamdogsart.typepad.com/the_obamas_dog/2009/01/laddie-boy-most-popular-presidential-pet-ever.html

I saw a picture of Laddie Boy sitting in a high-back chair, looking very Presidential, in a calendar of Presidential Pets. As the very proud owner of Daisy (now deceased) and Cassie, I can vouch for the superiority of Airedales. They are totally wonderful dogs: wild, zany sense of humor, incredibly energetic, intelligent (but too stubborn to show it), extremely friendly, sweet-tempered, loving... I could go on all day, but you get the picture. Cassie (aka "PiCassieO") is artistically gifted as well! IMO, "King of Terriers" should just be revised to "King of Canines". Enough said.

Cities partner to attract business, jobs
State Route 78 cities approving pact for cooperative marketing campaign
NORTH COUNTY Five North County cities that are launching a cooperative branding campaign have come up with some ground rules that discourage poaching companies from each other and instead focus on working together to better compete with San Diego.
The branding campaign, which aims to attract new businesses by highlighting North County's strengths as a region, will include a variety of aggressive marketing efforts that a consultant is scheduled to unveil in late May.
Before those efforts begin, leaders of each city — Oceanside, Escondido, Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos — are approving a five-year memorandum of understanding to help govern and coordinate their partnership.
Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos are scheduled to approve the three-page document Tuesday night. Oceanside approved it Feb. 19 and Escondido is scheduled to approve the agreement March 19.
"The philosophy is we promote our North County region first and our cities second," said Jenny Windle, economic development manager for San Marcos.
The agreement encourages cooperation and discourages competition among the cities, which are linked by state Route 78.
"The cities acknowledge that intra-regional competition may be counterproductive to regional economic development," the agreement says. "While individual cities want to encourage businesses to locate within their boundaries, they prefer not to do so at the expense of their neighbors."
It also addresses poaching and incentives.
"These efforts should emphasize attracting new businesses along the SR-78 corridor to enhance the regional economy, rather than encouraging companies to move from one community to another," the agreement says.
In addition, it says "selling against another city" is strongly discouraged.
"We're trying to attract businesses without cannibalizing ourselves," said Joyce Masterson, Escondido's economic development manager.
Oceanside City Councilman Jerry Kern agreed.
"It makes no sense to steal from each other," he said. "If a company moves from Carlsbad to Oceanside, the employees don't move and the region doesn't gain anything."
Kern said the partnership will help the cities compete against San Diego, which he characterized as an uphill battle because San Diego has much better name recognition.
Kevin Ham, Vista's economic development director, predicted the rules related to incentives won't matter too often.
He said the most common incentives are offering cheap land and sales tax sharing agreements to retail chains such as Costco and Target, but that the marketing campaign is aimed more at manufacturing and technology businesses that don't generate much sales tax and rarely ask for land.
"This is more about providing good customer service as a region to businesses," he said. "It's about finding the best location for them and their employees."
Ham said a great example is Dr. Bronner's Magic Soap, a thriving company with a global reputation that will soon leave its longtime headquarters in Escondido for a 130,000-square-foot facility in Vista.
When the company approached Vista about the possibility of moving in 2012, Vista officials immediately called Escondido so the two cities could work together to make sure Dr. Bronner's didn't leave North County.
The branding effort is modeled after similar agreements among cities elsewhere, including the Gateway Cities Council of Government founded 15 years ago in southern Los Angeles County.

Tatum was referred to us by one of our friends that send us models from time to time. Tatum is 100% straight and really quite shy for being as hot as he is. Tatum is 23 years old and originally grew up in California but he has been living in Georgia for the past few years. Tatum has a few tattoos on his amazing smooth body. His olive complexion combined with his black hair and brown eyes, makes this Straight Southern Boy really stand out.Tatum has been playing soccer since he was just a little boy at age 4. Tatum's practice and hard work has landed him a spot as a professional soccer player. As soon as he took his shirt off, you could just tell that this straight boy was athletic by his toned defined physique. Man do I wish I could spend some time in the locker room with him and the rest of his soccer team.Tatum had never done anything like this before but it has always been a fantasy of his. He is a bit shy and it took a bit of coaxing to get him outside of his comfort

The Hamlet is already mentioned in historical documents dating as far back as the middle ages as the count of Savoie had a Tithehouse there in the 13th Century when the cereal fields and meadows benefited from maximum sunshine and it was highly desirable land. With the arrival of foreign flour and as a consequence the reduction of livestock, the agricultural land was abandoned little by little and the village lost its importance. In 1988 there were only two remaining inhabitants in Verrey. The buildings rapidly deteriorated without proper maintenance. In the 1990's, people regained an interest in the village and some houses were slowly brought back to life.
