Netanyahu Uneasily Weathers Tal Law Storm
Prime minister likely to propose compromise bill, keep coalition intact
Summer heat +
lack of power in much of the Washington area (my parents are still without electricity; thanks, Pepco!) +
national holiday smack in the middle of the week =
no news in America.
But in Israel, it's always hot, they have power, and they don't have lily-livered Jews celebrating the Fourth, so plenty has happened, particularly surrounding the struggle to draft a new law, to replace the unconstitutional Tal Law, regulating national service requirements for the Haredim (who are excepted from Israel's universal conscription) and the coalition politics surrounding it.
When last we visited this to-do, at the beginning of the week, Prime Minister Netanyahu basically held all the cards. He had just disbanded the moderate-seeming Plesner Committee, which was headed by a Kadima Knesset member and tasked with replacing the Tal Law. Kadima leader Shaul Mofaz was threatening, without much credibility, to bolt the coalition he joined only a couple months ago.
Since then, advocates for greater Haredi (and Arab) service, military and civil, have taken their appeal to the one place it might still resonate: the public. Over Netanyahu's objections, the Plesner Committee released its proposals. Mandating service, in either the IDF or National Service, even for yeshiva students, with financial and even criminal penalties for noncompliance, it estimated 80 percent service among Haredim by 2016. It also would have smoothed the path toward greater Arab involvement in non-military capacities. A law professor who was on the committee has already gone public blaming Netanyahu for caving to the religious parties in his coalition instead of allowing a potentially historic compromise to be crafted.
"Faced with a choice between paying lip service to the need for egalitarian conscription and maintaining the old alliance with the ultra-Orthodox, Netanyahu blatantly chose the latter," military affairs correspondent Amos Harel reports.
Is this enough for Mofaz to leave the coalition? I still have my doubts. Bibi doesn't technically need him, especially since he has again proved his fealty to the religious parties that gave him a Knesset majority in the first place. As for Mofaz, I disagree with Yossi Verter that bolting would give Kadima an agenda and renewed vigor; the main victor would be the true opposition, Shelly Yachimovich's Labor Party. So I don't see it happening. (And I think Ari Shavit exaggerates how bad this was for Bibi: Yohanan Plesner is indeed "one of the poster boys of Israeli politics," but outside Haaretz' offices how many have posters of Israeli politicians on their walls?)
I've come to learn that Israeli politics is conducted by brinksmanship to an extent and regularity that are unusual to American eyes. (Essentially, something like last summer's debt-ceiling showdown happens once every couple of months.) This was politics via brinksmanship. Yes, the committee was dramatically disbanded; yes, Mofaz dramatically threatened to upend the government. But really you are seeing run-of-the-mill jockeying and bargaining taking place. And, duly, here is Netanyahu acknowledging the committee's findings and pledging "to bring forward a bill that will address both Haredim and Arabs and win a Knesset majority and be implementable." And, lo and behold, here is someone from Mofaz' camp disclosing that his boss believes Bibi genuinely wants to make this happen and he will therefore give him more time.
As Amir Mizroch explains, Bibi's compromise will be designed less to best solve this problem facing Israeli society and more to keep his coalition partners Kadima (which wants more Haredi conscription), Yisrael Beiteinu (which wants more Arab service), and Shas (which wants the status quo) all in the same boat. But it might be better than nothing, and it might turn out that the past week was just standard backroom politics conducted for all to see.

Per Ake Persson: November 15, Duesseldorf, Germany: WBO I/C heavy champ Aleksander Dimitrenko retained the title with a third round knockout of challenger Luan Krasniqi in a true crossroads fight. It was fastpaced and exciting for as long as it lasted with the fired up Krasniqi dominating the action. Luan seemed to get Dimitrenko under some pressure in the second. In the third Aleksander, the bigger man, did better but it was still Krasniqi´s round.
Then Dimitrenko scored with a right, Krasniqi covered up and the Ukrainian threw a short left hook that landed to the liver of Luan, who took a step back, then sat down on one knee while Spanish referee Manuel Oliver Palomo counted him out. It was a clean end but also somewhat disappointing as the fight was still wide open. After two rounds it was scored 20-18 twice for Luan and 19-19. For Krasniqi this must the end while Dimitrenko most likely will be mandatory challenger for the WBO..
On the undercard supermiddle Dimitri Sartison showed no ill effects from the loss to Mikkel Kessler in June and stopped Brazilian Edison Francisco Guedes in three. Gusmyl Perdomo, a likely opponent for Kessler during 2009, impressed in stopping tough Frenchman Laurent Goury in four.
Russian heavy Dennis Boytsov outscored American Vinny Maddalone over eight in a matchup between a puncher and a slugger where neither was able get the advantage for long.
It´s official (since a few days): WBA champ Nikolay Valuev defends the title against Evander Holyfield December 20 in Zurich in Switzerland. On the undercard EU heavy king Francisco Pianeta defends against Frenchman Yohan Duhaupas. Russian cruiser Jimmy Kapanov is in against Italian veteran Paolo Ferrara and jr middle prospect Dominik Britsch face Stefano Loriga. Danish supermiddle Mads Larsen may also fight on this show. Sauerland Event insist to Danish media that they are working towards a shot for Mads at IBF titleholder Lucian Bute.
The Kohl Diet reads the headline in German paper Bild Zeitung. In this Universum boss Klaus Peter Kohl makes it clear that Universum and Spotlight Boxing are cutting down in number of boxers partly to downsize but also to make space for new signings. Kohl also indicated that he will retire in two years with son-in-law Dietmar Poszwa taking over.
Big Polish heavy Mariusz Wach is in against even bigger Russian Evgeny Orlov November 21 in Grodzisk, Poland.
The Rematch, Natascha Ragosina vs Conjestina Achieng is on for November 28 in Magdeburg. SES have Ragosina´s sparringpartners Pia Porter and Maria LIndberg in supporting bouts. The Lindberg case appears to be coming to a close as she is now licensed by the BDB in Germany despite letters to the EBU from the Swedish Federation.
Former EBU champ and WBA challenger Sebastian Sylvester and Spaniard Ruben Diaz are co-challengers for the vacant EU middleweight title.
Belgian bantam Carmelo Ballone have been named official challenger by the EBU. Ballone was champ but the lost title to Ian Napa on a very close decision.

Wild Tigers I Have Known is a 2006 feature film written, edited, produced and directed by Cam Archer. After being work-shopped at the 2005 Sundance Screenwriter's Lab, the film had its world premiere at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival, and went on to be screened at New Directors/New Films, London International Film Festival, Locarno International Film Festival and AFI Film Festival. In 2007, the film was released theatrically by IFC Films. However, this is a re-edited shorter edition in (chronological) scenes, sound and duration, which leads to another interpretation of the director's intent with his movie. The original length was 1:38 min., and the ICF-film only 1.21 min. Some scenes have been deleted, e.g. an episode in which the main character compares his penis' size with that of a friend is not included. The episode at the party in which Logan is overtly being accused by some older boys for being a faggot boy, is omitted too (Only the end by which he is punched in the nose is available), as well the scene that Logan goes, dressed up as Leah, to the house of his boyfriend Rodeo and talks to the girlfriend of him. In the original score the song 'Wild tigers I have known' by Emily Jane White was not included. To make it more confusing, shoots that are in the re-edited movie, are not be found in the original extended release, so considering this the film was probably about 1:50 minutes. Also there is a European DVD-release, issued by Soda, in which the IFC-film is even shorter, namely 1:13 minutes.

Vaaldiam Resources Ltd.: Record Diamond Price of $800 Per Carat for Chapada Production
TORONTO, ONTARIO–(Marketwire – July 14, 2008) – Vaaldiam Resources Ltd. (TSX:VAA) reports that the latest diamond sale from its 100% owned Chapada Diamond Mine, in the State of Mato Grosso, Brazil achieved a record price of US$ 800 per carat. A total of 1,967 diamonds weighing 1,116 carats, an average of 0.57 carats per stone, were sold for gross proceeds of US$ 892,708.
Included in the parcel were five stones greater than 10 carats in weight, which were sold for a total of US$ 510,039, or US$ 5,791 per carat. The largest diamond in the parcel was a 30.96 carat diamond which was sold for US$ 230,033, or $7,430 per carat. Photos of the diamond are available for viewing on the Company's website at
Special Stones greater than 10 carats ——————————————————————– —- Stone Weight__________Gross Sales Value US$__________Value Per Carat US$ ——————————————————————– —- 30.96 carats______________________$ 230,033______________$ 7,430 / carat ——————————————————————– —- 19.31 carats______________________$ 166,163______________$ 8,605 / carat ——————————————————————– —- 12.99 carats______________________ $ 34,424______________$ 2,650 / carat ——————————————————————– —- 12.89 carats______________________ $ 25,780______________$ 2,000 / carat ——————————————————————– —- 11.92 carats______________________ $ 53,640______________$ 4,500 / carat ——————————————————————– —- TOTAL: 88.07 carats______________ $ 510,039______________$ 5,791 / carat ——————————————————————– —-
Ken Johnson, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Vaaldiam commented that "we are extremely pleased with the high sale values received for the most recent diamond production from our Chapada Mine. The sales value per carat for this parcel is 99% higher than the average sales value per carat received over the prior 12 months and reflects strong market demand and high prices for the large, high quality diamonds recovered from the Chapada deposit."
Including the latest sale, over the past 12 months of operation the Chapada Mine has sold a total of 13,294 carats of diamonds for total gross proceeds of US$ 5,783,040 or an average value of US$ 435 per carat.
Operational Improvements Underway At Chapada
Vaaldiam is currently implementing a series of operational changes at its Chapada mine to lower operating costs. The Company recently terminated its contract with AGN Transportes Ltda. a contract mining company in order to operate its own fleet of hauling trucks and excavators. Operating its own mining and trucking equipment is expected to significantly reduce total operating costs. In addition to changing to its own mining fleet, Vaaldiam intends to install a mobile in-pit screening plant which will allow the washing and screening of the run-of-mine ore at the mining face, thereby reducing the amount of material required to be transported to and from the Chapada recovery plant by approximately 65%. Processing operations at Chapada have been temporarily suspended to implement these operational changes. Operations are expected to re-start in late August.
In addition to production from Chapada Mine, Vaaldiam holds a 100% interest in the Duas Barras Mine in the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil. The Duas Barras Mine commenced commercial production in September 2007 and during the past six months has sold a total of 31,641 carats of diamonds for total gross proceeds of US$ 5,185,235 or an average value of US$ 164 per carat. In addition, gold sales from the Duas Barras Mine to date have totalled US$ 674,546. Vaaldiam is currently expanding production in the vicinity of the Duas Barras mine through the acquisition of RST Recursos Minerais Ltda., which provides the Company with a second 2,000 tonne per day mining operation in this district.

Senate Approves Iran Sanctions
But the U.S. may not really want them
Yesterday afternoon, the U.S. Senate passed a bill—similar to one the House of Representatives has already okayed—that would impose significant additional sanctions on the Iranian elite as well as energy companies that do business with the Islamic Republic (the bill was passed by voice vote, so the yeas and nays are not reported). This came one day after President Barack Obama warned, in his State of the Union address, "As Iran's leaders continue to ignore their obligations, there should be no doubt: they, too, will face growing consequences. That is a promise." He was unmistakably referring to the same thing the Senate bill is: Iran's U.N.-flouting, probably-not-merely-peaceful nuclear program.
The bill would:
• Bar U.S. financial institutions from extending loans or other assistance to companies that export gasoline to Iran or contract with it for oil-refining projects;
• Ban U.S.-Iran imports and exports (other than food and medicine);
• Empower the U.S. to freeze the assets of Revolutionary Guardsmen and other Iranians involved in proliferation or terrorism;
• Make private-sector divestment from sanctioned energy companies easier;
• Crack down on the technology black market.
The next step is for a joint committee to craft a compromise between the House and Senate bills. That bill would then be voted on by both houses; then, Obama could sign it.
Obama supported the House bill … sorta. As Allison Hoffman noted last month, the threat of further congressional sanctions may be more valuable to U.S. diplomats than actual further congressional sanctions. That's because much more effective sanctions could come from the international community—most likely in the form of the U.N. Security Council—and the White House believes it will have an easier time corralling reluctant countries (that is, Russia and especially China) if it has a bit more flexibility to offer carrots along with sticks, and if it can point to the potential for that kooky legislative branch to do something all crazy and such if the Security Council fails to get its act together. Plus, the sanctions the bill envisions could find themselves harming these other countries' cherished energy companies, which likely will not endear them to yet further sanctions.
It did not take AIPAC long to send us its statement praising the Senate and condemning Iran, and adding: "AIPAC urges conferees to move rapidly in order to return the bill for final passage as soon as possible. This is an urgent matter."
While the realpolitik-inclined may not share AIPAC's sense of urgency, at least regarding these sanctions, they probably do share its desire for a nuclear-free Iran: the White House was on record approving at least the House bill; and so was dovish "pro-Israel, pro-peace" J Street, AIPAC's bedfellow at last.

West Ham striker Dean Ashton has declared himself available for England.
"I feel ready to play for England if I am picked," he said. "If I didn't feel ready I wouldn't be playing. I'm improving in every game and all I can do is maintain that improvement and do my best for West Ham in every game. Hopefully that will be enough to impress Steve McClaren.
"Whether it's Aston Villa next Saturday for West Ham or England against Estonia in a couple of weeks time, I am ready. I feel brilliant and excited about moving forward. I believe the sky is the limit now and no one is going to stand in my way because I'm going to work harder than anyone else and I want it more than anyone else."

Basic Science Question - "fabric" of space

Re: Basic Science Question - "fabric" of space
Well, in the end it's all wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey, isn't it.
ETA: The real, real problem is that we don't have a theory of quantum gravity. Such a theory would of necessity have to ditch the equivalence principle of General Relativity (that inertial mass and gravitational mass, if not the same thing, are always in the same proportion for no obvious reason). Experiment suggests that the equivalence principle is correct to a very high degree of accuracy, but others have suggested that the observed deceleration of space probes leaving the Solar System, and the anomalous rotation of the outer parts of galaxies result from non-equivalence rather than from dark matter or other "here be dragons" explanations.

I have come up with this "pattern" for maintaining state and making functionality "available" as certain criteria are met (for example, an authenticated user is logged in client-side).
Is this an appropriate way to achieve that end? Or am I unwittingly breaking some convention or best practice that will bite me later on?
// file: clientApi.js (library)
ClientObject = function () {
this.objectname = "a client class";
ClientObject.prototype.loginUser = function(name) {
this.loggedin = true;
if (typeof this.User === 'undefined') {
this.User = new ClientObject.User(name);
ClientObject.User = function (name) {
this.username = name;
ClientObject.User.prototype.getProfile = function() {
return 'user profile';
// file: app.js (consuming application)
var testClient = new ClientObject();
console.log('testClient.User = ' + (typeof testClient.User)); // should not exist
testClient.loginUser('Bob'); // should login 'bob'
console.log('testClient.User = ' + (typeof testClient.User)); // should exist
console.log(testClient.User.username); // bob
testClient.loginUser('Tom'); // should not do anything
console.log(testClient.User.username); // bob still
console.log(testClient.User.getProfile()); // tada, new functionality available
My question: is this approach valid? Is there a pattern that I'm touching on that might offer a better explanation or method of achieving my end goal?
I asked a similar question here with a bunch of other ones, unfortunately the above code was somewhat lost in the noise: Javascript: creation of object from an already instantiated object versus the prototype

TURKEY — The Turkey Town Council showed its unanimous opposition to countywide sales of beer and wine Tuesday night, adopting a resolution urging the Sampson Board of Commissioners to reconsider its stance on the issue and imploring the county electorate to vote against an alcohol referendum on the May 6 ballot.
"It's not a matter of just being against alcohol, but economically speaking we just don't feel like it's a good fit for the county nor would it be the panacea they are looking for," said the Rev. Tony Moore, a Turkey Council member and co-chair of the recently organized Sampson Citizens for the Prevention of Countywide Alcohol Sales. "Just the sheer economics does not make apparent good common sense, in all due respect to our county commissioners. It's nothing personal, I just think they're making a bad choice."
The county commissioners voted unanimously last month to place a countywide alcohol referendum on the ballot as part of the May 6 primary election. Earlier this month, the board narrowed options to just off-premises sales of malt beverages and unfortified wine. Commissioners have touted the move as a way to drum up more tax revenue, as well as another avenue for local businesses — notably retail businesses such as grocery and convenience stores — to make more money.
Some commissioners said, should the referendum prove successful, on-premises sales (restaurants) could be next. Moore and others said they do not see the sales as feasible for the county. Alcohol is available in several of the county's municipalities and does not have to be more accessible, which could lead to more problems, he noted.
"Our law enforcement is already pushed to the max with (the resources) they have to work with, but if we have alcohol sales countywide in the largest land mass county in the state, then we are potentially going to need more law enforcement with more issues and problems," Moore asserted. "We might take in more money on one side, but we're going to put out a lot more on the other."
Moore used to be a minister in this community and now pastors in Wilson, but still lives in Turkey, where he owns a business in addition to serving on the town board. He said he does not want to see Turkey be the site of alcohol sales.
Clinton, Roseboro, Garland and Newton Grove currently have alcoholic beverage sales, and operate ABC stores. However, Turkey,along with Salemburg, Harrells and Autryville, do not currently permit such sales, and would be the most impacted towns should the referendum pass as they will be stripped of their "dry" status.
"I can't speak for the rest of the communities, but I know in Turkey we definitely don't want to see it there. It's close enough to us already," Moore said. "Turkey was incorporated in 1913, so it's been incorporated for a little over 100 years now, and (alcohol sales have) not been there — and we'd sure like to see it stay out for a while longer. If it does pass, it will be accessible in those areas, whether we want it or not. That is a big point of contention for us. We do not want it in Turkey, nor do we think it's a good economic decision for our whole county."
Moore cited Sampson's "alcohol outlet density," which would increase should the referendum pass. Not only will the move not fill the county's coffers, he noted, it would serve only to negatively impact the community, by way of dangerous consumption levels and various other alcohol-related problems that would exacerbate matters.
"… The social costs of alcohol abuse always far outweigh any gains from the sales or accessibility of alcohol, and that prosperity is neither to ultimately be decided by the presence or lack thereof, but instead upon the genius, ingenuity and industriousness of the people of Sampson County," the Turkey resolution states.
"You're going to have alcohol-related problems all over because it is accessible (in certain areas)," Moore remarked, "but that doesn't mean we need to make it easily accessible all up and down our county roadways, to potentially lead to more and more problems related to alcohol."
The town's approved resolution also notes an "underage drinking epidemic" currently costing the state approximately $1.5 billion annually. Having such a law locally to broaden beer and wine sales could make it easier for Sampson's youth to obtain alcohol, putting them at greater risks of "alcohol dependence, academic failure, illicit drug use, youth violence, traffic crashes, property crime, unintentional injury and risky sex," it states.
The town of Turkey's passed resolution came exactly a week after a March 11 meeting at which more than a dozen churches, along with community leaders, organized the Sampson Citizens for the Prevention of Countywide Alcohol Sales. At that meeting, Moore and Dr. Larry Watts were selected as co-chairmen of the referendum committee, the Rev. Joseph Tew was chosen as the committee secretary and the Rev. Marcus Becton as the committee's treasurer.
That first meeting was about gauging interest and organizing. With that interest very present, the committee is holding a motivational rally on Tuesday, March 25, at 7 p.m. at Clinton Community Church (formerly Clinton Pentecostal Holiness).
Moore said he was not sure about the feelings of those in Harrells and Autryville, but noted "a definite groundswell of individuals in opposition" to the referendum in Turkey and Salemburg. Turkey's board-approved resolution urged the town's residents to give their assistance, as well as resources, in support of the referendum committee's efforts.
It is a worthy fight, Moore said, calling alcohol "the nation's number one drug."
"People might not look at it that way, but why should we want to fund our county coffers by a vice? That's never a good idea," the pastor remarked, urging attendance at Tuesday's rally. "Everyone is welcome. We would encourage people, particularly in opposition of this effort, to come. We do hope that people all across our county will come and show support for this endeavor."

Drought hits Tanzanian fish sellers as ice runs out
By George Obulutsa
DAR ES SALAAM (Reuters) – The burning sun makes walking to
Dar es Salaam's fish market an intense experience — the smell
hits you long before you get to the stalls where fish, bright,
giant shells and lobsters are piled onto tiled counters.
"Twelve thousand, 13,000, 15,000. Sold!" a fish seller
rattles out, quickly settling deals for a haul of kingfish and
red snapper.
The fishmongers working in the sweltering heat of
Tanzania's commercial capital say they are struggling to keep
their fish fresh because the cost of ice has shot up due to
power cuts blamed on one of the worst droughts to hit East
Africa in years.
Although rains have drenched some countries in the region
this week at the start of the long rainy season, forecasters
say the months-long drought that has put millions of people at
risk of hunger is not over yet.
Some analysts say the power cuts affecting countries like
Tanzania and Uganda, and threatening regional heavyweight
Kenya, could be the first sign of the drought's economic
In Tanzania, water levels at hydropower dams have fallen
drastically, resulting in daytime power cuts which now last 16
hours, up from 8.5 hours when the cuts were introduced last
month to conserve energy.
It makes the fishmongers' lives a misery.
"When there is a small supply of ice, we incur losses
because the fish spoil quickly," Ramadhani Kondo, 31, said as
he sorted lobster at his stall. "Five hours without ice and it
is all spoilt."
The state-run utility Tanzania Electric Supply Company
(TANESCO) invited bids in February for two gas-powered turbines
to boost production by an additional 100 megawatts (MW).
Tanzania's total generation capacity is 953 MW, of which
more than two-thirds is hydroelectric.
To plug the power shortfall, TANESCO also intends to rent
generators from outside the country. The International Monetary
Fund said Tanzania could use some of its debt relief money to
buy the generators and pay for the two turbines.
In a televised speech last month, President Jakaya Kikwete
said the drought had slashed hydropower capacity to close to 50
MW, out of a total capacity of 561 MW.
"The situation is not just bad, it is scary," he said.
Kikwete said that in the long term, Tanzania hoped to
generate more power from natural gas and coal – both available
in the country — and to reduce its reliance on hydropower.
It wants to boost gas-powered generation by an additional
300 MW, and start generating another 200 MW from coal.
These plans offer little immediate comfort to the fish
traders who are forced to pay high prices for ice produced
using generators — a luxury in one of the world's poorest
"There was a time when a block of ice cost 4,000 shillings.
Now it's going for as much as 15,000 shillings. I even heard
one seller mention 30,000 shillings," Faraji Abdalla said.
Power rationing has also affected other small businesses
like hair salons, Internet cafes and restaurants. And the
shortages have changed people's habits too.
"Customers don't come here frequently. When they come, they
don't buy that much fish because they don't have electricity at
home to preserve it," Abdalla said at the fish market.
"Many customers who would buy fish worth 50,000 shillings
or 60,000 shillings now buy for less than that and fry it
straight away for the day."
Whenever the power goes out in Dar es Salaam, generators
clatter into life. Sellers of the diesel-powered machines
report brisk business.
"Right now we are out of stock. We ordered more generators,
and they came in and were all snapped up," said Hamida Finanga,
a sales executive at Car and General in Dar es Salaam. She said
the company was rushing to import generators from abroad.
"We will have to raise prices soon as we are using air
freight to transport the generators. They arrive in about 10
days. By ship, it would take three or four months," she said.
For some wealthy customers, cost is not an issue.
"We have a waiting list, and some people are even willing
to pay in advance," Finanga said.
Back in the fish market, the sun is about to set, the
customers have gone home and Abdalla and Kondo are trying to
get rid of the fish they have left, selling them at rock-bottom
prices to the fried-fish sellers across the road.
"Business is very tough," Abdalla said.

Phoenix Suns vs. Atlanta Hawks; Orlando Magic vs. Portland Trail Blazers
Episode Reviews (1)
Two games on Friday night.
Suns vs. Hawks: The Phoenix Suns are a resurgent team in the league and the Hawks are defying just about everyone's expectations by being one of the elite squads in the Eastern Conference. Who would have thought that after last night's buzzer beater in the Cavs/Jazz game we'd get another tonight? But we did, as Jamal Crawford hit the game-winning three to put away the Suns.
Magic vs. Blazers: This one, unfortunately, did not go down to the wire. Even being insanely undermanned the Portland Trail Blazers were able to annihilate the defending Eastern Conference Champion Orlando Magic in a snoozer.moreless

Pune: Blaming it on Pune Police, State Minorities Commission chairman Munaf Hakim on Saturday said that if Pune Police had acted soon after the facebook post of distorted pictures were made, the murder of Mohsin Shaikh could have been averted.
Hakim termed the incidents in Pune and the law and order thereafter as complete failure of Pune Police and said that the local intelligence bureau also seems to have failed since it did not have any clue of the events and its repercussions.
Hakim along with other members of the Commission arrived in Pune on Saturday morning. The Commission also held meetings with senior Police officers and officers from district collector's office. Addressing a press conference, Hakim said that the Commission has found that there were many errors in handling the law and order situation in the city.
He said that it was only because of majorities and minorities who kept their cool, that Pune did not witness worse situations. He said that even though there were incidents occurring for 3-4 days, the Police department did not intervene which gave an opportunity to people to create communal tension.
Hakim pointed out that even though the Hindu Rastra Sanghatana was displaying the objectionable posters since a year, the police department did not take it seriously nor understood its seriousness. The incidents which took place in Pune were not spur of the moment but planned. He said that he instructed the Police department to take the measures so that future incidents could be avoided. Hakim said that he would submit Commission's report to Chief Minister in next two days

Spring is here! Let's drown our wintertime blues is the magical beauty of the live music world. I can only ignore it for so long but it's always calling my name. So, MilkBoy Philly was the only place I wanted to be Thursday night because Illinois, a MUST SEE band, was on the bill. Plus, after last week's performance I wanted to see The Liberty Project again.
Dressed Like Stolen Cars is a four-member Philly rock band that played the first set of Thursday's show. Based solely on my first impression of Dressed Like Stolen Cars—I like this band. Good music, great live energy, and I'm all ears. I definitely wouldn't mind seeing this band again.
YES! I got to see The Liberty Project again. Seeing this band last Thursday really won me over as a fan. Last week I was introduced to the music of The Liberty Project in the best way possible—no prior knowledge of the band except for the name of the band members. That gave me the chance to just be in the moment and listen without any preconceived ideas of who this band sounded like. Partially because there is very little information on the internet about The Liberty Project but with a well-received residency (I saw 2 of their 3 shows) at MilkBoy Philly I think we might see a lot more of these guys—or at least I hope so. Thursday night was another very high energy performance with great music, good songs, nice vibe, and an audience that wanted to dance the night away. AWESOME!
Wow, they saved the best for last—Illinois, a four-member awesome rock (maybe that should be a new genre because I don't know if indie, alt, folk rock, or just rock will do) band from Southampton, PA with a sound so amazing that it's hard not to like (I'd say, LOVE) this band. Illinois is Chris Archibald (singer, guitar, banjo, keys), Martin Hoeger (bass, vocals), John Paul Kuyper (drums) and Jason Buzolits (synthesizer, guitar, vocals). If you got to witness Illinois' set Thursday night or any set before you know that they bring amazing music and a great time whenever they play which must be part of the reason why they have some truly dedicated fans and I'm not just talking about myself. The set covered a range of material from older material like "Nosebleed" to new unreleased material like "Summer" (I'm not sure of the real title). Every time an Illinois set ends I get a little sad because I just want them to play forever. Maybe that's a selfish thought, but can't we still dream?
A great night of music!

50 years to the day after the 1964's World Fair opened to the public, the now-closed-off pavilion opened for tours for just four hours on Tuesday, April 22, 2014. It's all a part of a "six-month series of events to celebrate the 50th and 75th anniversaries of the 1964 and 1939 World's Fairs, which were held in what is now Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens," states a press release.

A 41-year-old Aurangabad advocate was detained by the police after he tried to immolate himself during the independence day parade outside the Mantralaya state headquarters in south Mumbai on Friday.
How did the incident happen?
The lawyer, Rahul Mhaske, had poured kerosene over his body and was about to set himself ablaze when the cops spotted him and stopped him. The incident happened near the Sachivalaya Gymkhana after the parade had started.
Were any others involved?
The Cuffe Parade police also detained four others who were with Mhaske. They said that the five were part of a group that wanted to draw the attention of the government to issues of the backward classes.
What was the reason for the act?
They are members of the Maharashtra Rajya Magasvargiya Audyogik Sahakari Sanstha Bachav Sangharsh Samiti, based in Beed. The samiti has been raising several issues, the foremost of which is the clearance of 449 proposals concerning scheduled class communities.
How did the cops come to know?
The police said they were informed by their counterparts in Beed that the lawyer planned the immolation.
"We spotted five persons near Sachivalaya Gymkhana. One of them was carrying a bag. Another poured kerosene on himself and was about to set himself ablaze when the police men overpowered them and detained them," said a police officer.
What are the charges?
The four others were named as Ashok Bhapute, Rameshwar Nikalje, Shailendra Dhepe and Rameshwar Tayde, said to be social workers. They have been charged with attempt to commit suicide under section 309 of the Indian Penal Code and sections of the Bombay Police Act.

Thirty-one young people are helping out at Catawba County Library this summer as part of a cooperative effort between the library system and Catawba County Schools.
The students represented all five high schools in the Catawba County system as well as Arndt and River Bend middle schools to gain valuable work experience. The high school volunteers were able to accumulate community service credit for their school transcript.
To read more of this story, pick up the Tuesday print edition of Catawba County's community newspaper, The Observer News Enterprise, at newsstands throughout the county.
..just how does accumulating "Community Service Credit" help prepare the little darlings for the rigours of College and University Academics.
I bet there is some kid in China fast Fingering his abacus and doing Noocler Fisics all summer while our jewels are "earning Community Service" credits.
Soundfs to me like youth indoctrination into all things Governmental as our Commie society is heading. Oh we jaust can't get by without some aspect of involvemetn from the Government!

|Hey, look, it's my very first deviation!
|Hey, look, it's my very first deviation!
A Failed ExperimentGeorge Peterson was walking through Chicago one fine day in Autumn. The sounds of the bustling city surrounded him, and it made him slightly uncomfortable. George didn't know why he lived in the city when he hated the loud sounds of cars and people. In fact, if he didn't have somewhere to be, George would much rather just stay at home and read or get some work done. But, alas, he had a meeting with someone named Martha Janet. George had no idea who this lady was or what she was associated with, but he felt it was important to see her since he was a police officer, and he had gotten a letter from her asking him to meet her at her apartment because it was 'urgent'. There was no offered explanation in the writing. Plus, even though George was a tense, unsociable man, he would have admitted that he was a little bit curious.A Failed Experiment by Whovian178
Luckily, the woman's small house was only a short walk from George's, so it didn't take him long to find the run-down building

In a recent FCW article highlighting a survey claiming big data could save the federal government up to $500 billion, a reader wrote:
Let us not forget history. Usually, when the government declares that they have a way to save lots of money, implemented costs usually go up not down. Obamacare is the most recent example. When there is savings from some program, it is almost always much smaller than projected. So, at best, all should be very skeptical about any claims of cost savings from Big Data.
Frank Konkel responds:
I want to be clear that the government is not claiming $500 billion in savings from big data as a technology. That number was extrapolated based on what 150 federal IT executives said their respective agencies could save through leveraging big data – a new technology that allows agencies to use the large amounts of data they produce for beneficial purposes. Those executives were surveyed by a company named Meritalk.
I agree with you that savings can be overstated in initiatives, especially those that come to fruition inside the politically-charged Beltway. In our reporting at FCW, we strive to remain objective regardless of the subject matter. If the government claims savings, we'll ask questions to figure out how they got their numbers.
Big data remains a mystifying technology to some and a buzzword to others, but some agencies – as reported in this story – are diving into big data in a big way. In the past, we have examined the question of whether the government has the policies to truly implement big data initiatives, but we've also highlighted early and interesting big data efforts that are producing results – either in cost savings or producing a better product for taxpayers.
We've also reported on several aspects of what is probably the most advanced big data effort on the planet – the National Security Agency's data collection efforts – highlighting its results while digging into its expected costs.
Big data may not be the savior it is touted to be by some – at least not yet – but there is clear evidence that it is being used by the government in efficient ways already. Rest assured we'll keep asking questions as it continues to develop.

The MTV EMA 2011 gave us an eyeful when a streaker jumped on stage while Hayden Panettiere was reading out the nominees for Best Song at the Odyssey Arena in Belfast *eyes pop*
The 'Heroes' actress slapped her hand over her mouth before giggling: "Oh my God" as the naked man ran on stage and danced up next to her.
She said to him: "Dude, what are you doing?"
He replied: "I don't know. I thought I'd do a good old streak you know. You were in that show Heroes yeah? Nice one, I'm a big fan."
Hayden responded: "Thank you. You should come grab a pint with us after."

The streaker finished his appearance by replying: "I would love that. Um, I don't have my phone on me though. I'll just leave you to it and I'll see you at the after show" before running off.
It was a pretty well put together skit to have been ad libbed, so we can't help but wonder if it was a set up rather than a spontaneous outburst.
Twitter erupted into a debate over whether or not it was rehearsed.
Either way, it made us giggle.
