Vilas Muttemwar, 65, is the sitting MP and Congress candidate from Nagpur and former Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy. He has been an MP for seven terms, four of which have been from the Nagpur constituency. Muttenwar is known for his support for a separate state of Vidarbha and for being the pioneer of the MIHAN project, a venture worth thousands of crores of rupees, aimed at transforming Nagpur's airport into a major cargo hub with a connected SEZ.
This is your seventh term as an MP. What are the achievements you're happiest about, when it comes to the constituency of Nagpur, and what are some of the things that you wanted to do but could not do?
This is the seventh time, but from Nagpur this is my fourth time. Earlier I was representing Chimur (a Lok Sabha constituency which became Gadchiroli-Chimur, after delimitation, in 2009) which was a constituency adjoining Nagpur. Nagpur is an urban constituency and over 16 years I have identified the problems of the urban constituents, which are local requirements like water, roads and flyovers.
Fortunately, from 1999, in Maharashtra, there has been a Congress government. And, in 1999, Mr. Vilas Rao Deshmukh became the Chief Minister of Maharashtra. And he was a good friend. And I said to him that: 'In the process of development, Nagpur has been neglected.' And: 'Please help us, with industry, because you are also from a backward region— Marathwada.' And he helped us. He gave us Rs 350 Crore under IRDP, that is the Integrated Road Development Programme. And so we developed the roads of Nagpur. And Nagpur found a new way ahead. It is now counted among the top 10 cities of the country.
Also, from 1985 itself, I pursued a dream. I realized Nagpur is crucial on the aviation route and it could be developed as an international airport and processing industries, value-added industries could be developed around it. Because around 400 international flights were flying on the skies of Nagpur and the local ATC (Aviation Traffic Control) was giving direction to those flights and if such a facility, such an infrastructure, such a logistic activity was developed— ultimately Nagpur would be developed. My idea got the support of Mr. Vilas Rao (Deshmukh). He became the 'Chairman' of this dream. And I was the 'Co-Chairman'. In 2002, this project was named MIHAN, the Multi-modal International (Cargo) Hub Airport at Nagpur. And then we got the techno-economic report. The international consultant, Larsen & Toubro, was appointed by the Government of Maharashtra. And they opined that this was the perfect location for such a logistic activity. And the work got started, though it was delayed because there were many problems. There wasn't space to develop an SEZ— you need 10,000 acres of land. There were many NOCs, Environment Concession, then the Commerce Ministry's nod.
But now the government has acquired 9,000 acres of land. It is developed, roads are constructed, the water scheme is completed and the power plant is completed. And now Infosys, Tata Consultancy Services, BOEING Inc... these are the projects underway, which, it can also be said, are an attempt to attract other projects. There is the Mahindra Satyam company too, and many companies from the IT sector. As you know, from 2006 to 2009-10 there was an international recession. And this project was also affected due to that. It was going at a snails pace, but now we can say that this project is taking off. According to one survey and projection three to four lakhs of educated people—unemployed and employed—will get jobs right up to 2020. I think this will make way for the prosperity of Vidarbha in general and Nagpur in particular.
There is another project, which is the international airport. The MADC, which is the company responsible for developing this project, are working with a strategic partner who will develop a world-class airport. Buildings will be constructed for this over nearly 14 lakh square feet. This will lead to the city being upgraded as an international city which will be a great attraction for visitors and for anyone who wants to live in a peaceful atmosphere. So we are very hopeful.
Also, now the Government of Maharashtra and the Government of India have passed the proposal to develop the Metro rail. An in-principle approval has been sanctioned. Nearly Rs 8,500 crore will be spent for 38 km in the first phase and in the second phase nearly 50-60 km will be completed and again Rs 12,000 crore will be spent. This will be a unique feature for Nagpur, that other major cities in the country could not do this but we could. This project has also been followed-up on and developed by me. Ultimately, you need some representative who can take care of the constant follow-up.
I am also responsible for having established Nagpur as an embarkation point for the Haj pilgrimage to Jeddah. Also, there is Rs 4000 crore I have brought in from the JNNURM. These are some of the things I could do for the people and I hope the people will support me. They know.
Coming back to the MIHAN project, what was the primary cause of delay? Mr. Vilas Rao Deshmukh had said that you had to write up to 5000 letters to the Civil Aviation Ministry, to the government of Maharashtra, to the PMO before the MIHAN project could begin.
As I said, from 2006 to 2010-11 there was economic recession. This project was also affected because of that. Ultimately it is up to the private entrepreneur to develop such a project, or not. That is not in my hand. What I can do is create the atmosphere— that the other people in the government are responsible, that they address the entrepreneurs' issues, that they offer incentives to the investors. What I am responsible for is asking the government: 'Did you do that? Why didn't you do that?' In Maharashtra there is no single SEZ like the MIHAN project. So many SEZs were declared but they could not shape up. So this is the only option now for many investors. And that is a great thing for the people of Vidarbha.
There was some opposition from local politicians with regard to land acquisition for the project, and outcry by some citizen's groups. Have those issues been resolved?
That is there for every project. They have been resolved. There is no dispute over the 9000 acres of land that is in the possession of the MIHAN project. Any dispute now is on the land for an alternate tramway and that is also being resolved. This is a mammoth project. Every time you take on something of this size, these kinds of difficulties will arrive.
You are one of the voices at the forefront, for the demand of a Vidarbha state. However, your party hasn't taken up this issue. How do you plan to action this?
I'm a staunch follower of the statehood of Vidarbha and, as a matter of fact, I have been so from the age of 14. I have been involved with the Vidarbha movement and although we have voiced this demand at every level, the Congress party never formally supported the idea of the creation of this small state. But now the majority of Congress members are supporting this cause. It's is a good thing that Telangana has been created. Now our one demand is for the creation of Vidarbha and we will follow that.
But do you have a concrete plan in place, as to how you're going to achieve this?
The agenda is with the party. It has supporters. We will campaign for it. The majority of people are of the opinion that there should be a separate Vidarbha. That's a good thing. That makes it a possible thing. We have to bring them in one line, talk to all the people and build up pressure on the government.
Is there any difference in contesting an election as an incumbent and as a challenger?
We can't define positions in this manner. Every time there are different issues. I am the candidate of a party which has been the ruling party from 1947 and they have ruled for the maximum time. That legacy is with me. This party is responsible for the country's freedom and it is responsible for whatever achievement we have today. Our nation is possibly the 'third power' in the world and now people are saying that it will be a superpower in the coming days. So this is not an election of an individual. This is an election of principles, an election of history, an election of political parties and their ideologies. And I have benefited from that. Just as an individual, people would not support me.
Since you're talking about the party, there is a sense of anti-incumbency at the centre. Will the anti-incumbency at the centre affect your standing as an MP for Nagpur in the upcoming polls?
No, still people believe in the ideology of the Congress. You would know that from 1947 to 1977 there was only the Congress that won. There is no significance of this anti-incumbency because people want a party which can unite this country and take all sections, all religions, all people together. How to be able to do that is the great problem of this country.
This time you have two high profile candidates against you. One is Mr. Nitin Gadkari, another is Ms. Anjali Damania. Why should people vote for you over your opponents?
For the last 35 years I've been winning elections as a Lok Sabha candidate. Anjali Damania is a voice against against corruption. The BJP also says, "Bhrashtachar mitane ke liye Modi sarkar (A Modi Government to erase corruption)."
Now, in 35 years nobody could level a single charge against me. That is very significant and a very important thing. That is the one thing I'm going to the people with: 'Here is your representative who is not involved in any kind of corruption.'
And on the contrary, the other candidate, who is very high profile, he was the President of the BJP, one of the highest posts of the BJP, and he was going to be re-nominated as the President again. Why couldn't he become the president again? What was the reason? Who had opposed him? He was opposed by his own party men, all his followers. When he was rejected by his own people, how he will be selected by the people of Nagpur?
A few days ago there was an EC raid at premises owned by you. Reports claim that you alleged that Mr. Gadkari was behind this. On what basis have you made this allegation?
That was so surprising. The raid was at the place of my son. And you must've seen the reports saying that only Rs 5,70,000 was lying there. And this is not a big amount. And the action was taken on the basis of one false SMS. So who had sent the SMS?
Also, certain rules are there. They could have informed me that they were going to search the premises. They hadn't informed me or my son. In our absence they wanted to open the lock and search the premises.
And when they finally did so, they found just Rs 5,70,000. We have got 70-80 workers on a contract basis. The financial year has just ended and they expected a big bonus and that's why the money was kept there. There is a rule that says that if you have an amount of more than Rs 10 lakh, then they can seize it. But they have seized just Rs 5,70, 000 and lodged cases against us. And on the other hand Gadkari is spending crores of rupees. Everywhere, after his meeting, he offers lavish lunches, lavish dinners. Does this not come under the khaata-paisa (accounts for election funds)? He's distributing so many things. People know what he's doing. But the Election Commission doesn't want to take action against him. They've not filed any case against him.
Coming back to the news reports, you alleged that there was an intent to plant money during the raid, in order to be able to frame you for being in violation of EC rules. Also that Mr. Gadkari was behind this…
There were two incidents on two days. On the first day, the officer in charge (Election Observer D G Pansari) was sitting outside my premises in a car and he was directing the other junior officers. But he did not approach the premises himself. And when my people said the raid would have to be conducted in their presence, if not in the presence of the master of the premises, then he left instead of waiting. If he was sure of there being money in the office, why did he not insist on raiding it there and then in front of them?
And the next day this officer, who had wanted to take action, did not turn up. He refused to come till much later when we demanded that he be present when the premises was searched. Why did he not come in the beginning?
They probably thought that Madam Sonia Gandhi is coming, she is campaigning here, and so a lot of money would be kept there which is being distributed. That wasn't the case. It isn't as if they have found Rs 2 Crores or Rs 3 Crores. They just wanted to spoil my election.
But how do you substantiate allegations that Mr. Nitin Gadkari was behind this?
What was the need to take action on a mere SMS? What I'm telling you (about over-spending), this is openly going on in the premises of Gadkari. We have complaints about all these unfair means that are being adopted. Why aren't they taking action there? Also, the officer (Pansari) is from Gujarat.
Do you feel that there is a difference between this particular national election and the ones you fought earlier?
Yes, earlier there was a fight between two political parties. One would say: 'Congress ko vote do (Give Congress your vote)', Another would say: 'BJP ko vote do'. But now they say, 'Ab ki baar, Modi Sarkar (This time, vote for Modi's Government)'. They have concentrated all the campaigns on Modi. And in Nagpur this is a fight not with the BJP but with the RSS, because Mr. Gadkari is a candidate supported by the RSS.
Do you feel this support from the RSS will affect your chances?
He is being supported by them and being projected by Mr. Mohan Bhagwat. But Nagpur is the place where Mahatma Gandhi had stayed in 1920. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar had taken the diksha for his Buddha dharma here in Nagpur. Progressive people live here, who oppose the communal ideology, the RSS ideology, and they are in the majority.
According to you, had the RSS supported the BJP candidates in your previous Nagpur elections?
No because he (Gadkari) is from the RSS. The earlier BJP candidates were not from the RSS. If you see a recent edition of the Times of India, you will find that Mr. Gadkari is wearing a half-pant and carrying the danda (staff).

Holocaust survivor recounts the Third Reichs crimes to combat anti-SemitismPublished: Friday, April 17, 2015
Judy Altman aims to educate younger generation about the horrors caused by hate. - VIDEO
Local Students Meet International Criminal Court Chief JusticePublished: Wednesday, February 11, 2015
The Holocaust & Human Rights Education Center brought together 250 high school students to listen to a presentation by Luis Moreno-Ocampo, chief justice of the International Criminal Court in The Hague, as part of a special program at the Jacob Burns Media Center in Pleasantville. The students -- from Ossining High School, Iona Preparatory School, Briarcliff High School and Sleepy Hollow High School -- also viewed the film "Watchers of the Sky," a 2014 American documentary that depicts the journey of lawyer Raphael Lemkin and his efforts in lobbying the United Nations to establish the Genocide Convention.
As Society Changes, So Does Holocaust EducationPublished: Friday, January 30, 2015
As Auschwitz survivors and their children this week commemorate the 70th anniversary of the death camp's liberation and mourn the Shoah's Six Million Jewish victims, Holocaust education in New York State, and elsewhere in the country, looks far different than it did a generation ago. "The Diary of Anne Frank" is still read by countless thousands of middle-school students, as is Elie Wiesel's "Night," his harrowing memoir of surviving the Auschwitz and Buchenwald concentration camps. But more often than not, these iconic books have, over the years, become springboards to wider discussions about genocides in many other times, and many other settings.
70th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz in the Village of MamaroneckPublished: Friday, January 23, 2015
On Thursday, January 22, a special "Mayor's Report" was recorded in the Village of Mamaroneck Court Room.

Democracy's Newest Heirs
Today on Tablet, Fouad Ajami on democracy in the Middle East
Today on Tablet, Fouad Ajami writes on the new questions about the nature of democracy brought about by the events of the Arab Spring.
Regarding Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, and soon enough Syria, the question can be put starkly: Better the peace of autocrats and pharaohs, or the risks and uncertainties of unstable democracies?
This question has consumed Israelis since 1948. The Jewish state's dilemma with its neighbors had always been sui generis; Israelis have lived with the siege that has marked their political life since the emergence of their state. But the Arab Spring has given this dilemma new power and relevance. The irony of a democracy unsettled by the fall of dictators on its borders derives from that uniqueness of Israel's place in its neighborhood. That happy proposition that democracies make better neighbors, that benign view of history bending toward "perpetual peace" when there is internal tranquility in the life of nations—the reading of history we identify with Immanuel Kant—is a poor guide to the unforgiving politics of the greater Middle East. This is a Hobbesian world of perpetual strife and menace.
Check out the rest here.

Capital Gold Announces a 27% Increase In Gross Proceeds for First Fiscal Quarter
NEW YORK, Nov. 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Capital Gold (TSX: CGC; OTC Bulletin Board: CGLD) announced today that gross proceeds were approximately $11.7 million on 11,733 ounces of gold sold in the first fiscal quarter of 2010 (ended October 31, 2009) at its El Chanate mine in Sonora, Mexico. The average sale price was approximately $995 per ounce. This represents an increase in gross proceeds of approximately 19% over the fiscal quarter ended July 31, 2009 and a 27% increase over the same period in the prior fiscal year. Monthly gold production is currently running at approximately 4,200 ounces.
"This is a significant increase in gross proceeds compared to our fourth quarter and the equivalent period of last year," Capital Gold's President and Chief Operating Officer, John Brownlie, said. "We anticipate production to increase once the additional crushing plant module and the new leach pad becomes operational by the end of this calendar year. The full extent of these production increases will be determined with the completion of the SRK study which recently upgraded the proven and probable reserves to over 1.5 million gold ounces. Capital improvements, completed in 2009, added significant processing capability through the ADR and refinery plants. The new mine plan will optimize the mining and processing of additional gold production based on the expanded reserves at El Chanate."
Brownlie also commented on the changes at the corporate level: "We have been working to reduce corporate general and administrative costs and streamline decision making while improving shareholder communication." To help achieve this goal, Capital Gold's Board of Directors has been reduced to five members. The composition of the new Board will consist of a majority of independent directors. "Together, the board members bring a wealth of experience in mining and financial affairs to the company as we prepare the way for future growth," he added.
Robert Roningen and Roger A. Newell have resigned from their positions as members of the Board of Directors. Capital Gold wishes Robert a speedy recovery from his illness and Roger the very best in his latest venture. Capital Gold thanks both Robert and Roger for their contribution, dedication and service to shareholders during the early, formative years of the company.
About Capital Gold

On March 6, 2008, the U.S. Senate passed S. 2663, the most ambitious reauthorization and amendment to the Consumer Product Safety Act and related statutes since the creation of the Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC or the "Commission") in the 1970s. The Senate bill must be reconciled in a House-Senate conference with the almost equally ambitious House bill H.R. 4040. This could occur by July 2008.

The Maine event
G•O Logic is designing and building a prototype home in Belfast, Maine, that's not only super-efficient but super-affordable. It's expected to sell for as little as $225,000.
Thu, Apr 08, 2010 at 07:24 AM
Think that high-efficiency always comes with a high price tag? Think again …
This spring, G•O Logic, a collaboration between architect Matthew O' Malia and builder/contractor Alan Gibson, will be completing a net-zero energy prototype home in Belfast, Maine, that's on track to become LEED Platinum Certified and the first Passive House Certified home in that state. And at 1,500 square feet, it's not exactly a shoebox either. And the real kicker? Once it enters the market after a two-year trial period during which it's rented to a local family and undergoes a series of performance tests, G•O Logic hopes the prototype home will sell for as low as $225,000.
Not too shabby at all. It's not exactly the most aesthetically pleasing green home I've ever seen (I immediately think big red barn) but the amount of innovative, high-performance features — G•O Logic's philosophy: "We believe that to build for the future, we need to utilize the very best technology today" — packed into a home with such a reasonable price point is remarkable. Overall, the home will offer a 90 percent reduction in space heating load and will generate its own renewable energy on-site.
According to G•O Logic, the home will be built from local materials and has the potential to save over 500 gallons of oil and prevent 5,000 metric tons of CO2 released into the atmosphere annually. Residential Architect has more specs on the home that include an insulated concrete foundation slab and ultra high-performance German windows.
Intrigued? Check back at G•O Logic's website for updates on the prototype home as it nears completion. It's also worth watching a video series produced by the firm in which O' Malia and Gibson explain different eco-elements of the prototype home including SIP panels, timber framing, and seam sealing. Watch the introductory video below.

Cruz's birth story...
So here is the amazing birth story of our son...
*rated PG for no graphic details just birth words and a few pics.
September 20th, my due date came and passed and then another 1.5 weeks passed…we were ready, stick a fork in me, I was done and wanted this baby, and in my arms!
Sunday, September 28, I went to a baby shower, mowed the lawn, put our outdoor stuff in storage, pulled out all the dead flowers from our planters, cleaned the bathrooms, cleaned the guest room for my sister in law who was flying in to stay with us that Tuesday (because baby was to be here by then), vacuumed and mopped the floors, and organized the garage. I was totally thinking that with all of that this baby would clearly make an appearance, but no he sat right where he was cozy!
Monday, September 29. I had an appointment with my midwife at the birth house but I ended up having to see another midwife because the one who was on call, yup you guessed it was at a birth and it was not ours! I saw the midwife there to whom said I was not ready but close. Seriously not what I wanted to hear! She asked if I could come back later that day for the midwife on call to see me and check me as well. I was able to go back in and see her. We ended up scheduling an ultra sound for the next day to check baby and amniotic fluid levels since I was so late. I went home and did nothing. I had tried stuff and didn't want to try anymore because I knew at that point he was going to come when he was ready!
Tuesday, September 30. No baby. Ben had therapy that morning so we made the hour drive so he could go and my sister came along in case anything happened. Of course nothing did! On the way home we picked up my SIL from the airport and she was able to join us later that afternoon for the ultra sound. We were getting the ultra sound done and the tech asked if we were ready to have a baby…umm yes. She went on to ask if our bags were packed…umm yes. And she followed that up with are your bags in the car…ummm yes. At this point I was kind of freaking out by her questions. She was checking my amniotic fluid levels and if they were low then they would need to get moving on getting this baby out. She finished and took the results to the radiologist who read it, came back to us, said everything looked great and we could go home saying they would fax the results to our midwife. I still didn't feel settled about her earlier comments so I called my midwife and she called me back to say the fluid levels were fine and that she would see me the following day for an appointment if I didn't go into labor.
Wednesday, October 1. No baby and now into October! Ben had a caregiver coming to stay with him that morning so my SIL and I took off for yet another appointment at the birth house. My sister, who was going to be my doula, met us there to get the latest info and the plan. My midwife checked me and I was at a 3/4. This was good yet frustrating news. I was only like a 1/2 on both Monday and Tuesday so there was some progress. So the plan. If I didn't have him by that Saturday it was likely that I would go back under doctors care and be induced because midwives cannot deliver after 42 weeks. I really wanted to have him at the birth house with the midwife so I was willing to do anything at that point to get him out! So castor oil shake in the morning it was!
Thursday, October 2. No baby, no feeling like that lil man was even coming that day! No more pressure, no different contractions other then the random braxton hicks I'd had since 27 weeks, nada, nothing, zilch…hello frustration! Since I didn't feel anything I blended up a castor oil shake at about 0830 that morning. It consisted of the oil, haagan dazs chocolate ice cream and whole milk! I have never in my life had an ice cream shake that early in the day but that thing went down the hatch and it was good! By around 1130 I was starting to feel some contractions that were not like the braxton hicks I normally would have but none of them were consistent or painful, just different. Definetly was going to the bathroom due to the oil in the shake and we staying at home for sure. Ben, my SIL and I ate some lunch and then my midwife called around 1pm and asked how I was doing. I told her the contractions were there but nothing that I couldn't handle and not to bad at all. I asked her if I should make another shake because clearly I wouldn't mind some more ice cream…just not the oil. She said to wait and if things slowed down or stopped then to call her and see what to do next. I decided that if this really was going to be the day that I would need some rest. Ben was going to take a rest too so he was at the couch and I decided to go lay down in bed. I remember watching a bit of Dr. Phil which started at 2pm and I fell asleep during his show, sorry Phil! I was awakened about three by what I thought Ben calling me to say he needed to use the rest room but really I was jolted to a strong contraction. I walked out to see if he had called me and he said no and that he was just watching a show. I felt the contractions coming on a little harder now and more consistent. I started timing them, two minutes apart and less! Then they just kept coming and hurting more. I text my sister Anne that she might want to get ready to head over because the plan was for her to pick Ben and I up and take us to the birth center. She said she'd start to pack up and head over. She also said to call her when I couldn't talk through the contractions anymore. I sat with Ben and my SIL on the couch for a bit and talked through a few of the contractions. My mom popped over because I had told her things were getting started. I then called my sister and said she needed to get to the house soon because the contractions now were like a minute apart and it was def hard to talk through them. She said she was on the freeway about would be there soon. Between contractions I was getting a few things together and preparing Ben for us heading out. The toilet was my favorite spot but I knew I couldn't stay there forever! Ha! My sister got there and found me in the bathroom. She said I needed to call the midwife, give her an update and say we were coming in. I said I didn't want to talk to anyone and that she could call her! She did and then packed up and we left!
That car ride was no fun! I was in the back seat, behind tinted windows thank goodness so I wouldn't scare the onlookers and couldn't find a comfortable spot or anything stable to hold on to. When we got to the birth house, about 4:30pm, our midwife met us in the parking lot. My sister helped Ben out and I had two strong contractions in the parking lot. My midwife "C" started massaging my hips and back through those. When they passed we went inside to where she had already started a bath, soft music, candles and diffusing some oils. She checked me and I was at a 4. A 4 I asked? How could I be at a 4 today and in so much pain and a 4 yesterday with no pain and no signs of baby! C said don't think about the number because I was definitely ready to have this baby boy! I got in the bath tub and that felt good, well as good as a bath could feel when you're in that much pain! I stayed in there for about 30 minutes and then C asked me to get out because my heart rate was getting a little high, I was dehydrated and I was getting a little woozy for the warmness. One huge blessing is that C told me that the birth house was all ours and that nobody but us were there for the rest of the night! I was able to labor in the waiting area which had a tall counter which really helped! During this time I was in pain, alot!
The contractions came hard and strong. Sometimes one on top of the other...those were the worst because there wasn't even time to breathe it felt!
I was super uncomfortable and clearly it was not getting any easier. I was wondering when I was going to get a break and right when I would another contraction would come! This is when I said, "and now I know why people get epidurals!" I wasn't getting any of that at a birth house! I also remember saying there was no way that I could do this, it hurt way to bad! I apologize to the neighbors of the birth house if you heard me and the fact that I might have disrupted their dinners...Im sure I
loudest one they have had there...hopefully! About 5:40pm C came up behind me and said she would like for me to climb the flight of stairs that was in the birth house. I thought she was crazy but we started up the stairs. I made it up with I think one contraction on the way up. When we got to the top I felt the need to squat so I did. I had one contraction, stood up and then that was followed up by another one quickly following. I squatted back down and heard a pop, my water had broke at 6:05pm.
Right after that happened my midwife C said we needed to go back down the stairs and into the birth room so she could check my water. Ben was waiting for me down stairs. He had been encouraging me the whole time with every contraction. You could tell there was concern in his eyes and he hated seeing me in pain but he kept loving on me. So we went back down stairs and she checked my water and praise God it was clear. There was a chance that there was meconium in it from my ultra sound reading but it was clear and that was a huge blessing! C asked me to get back into the tub and I knew this baby was going to be born in there. She had asked me a few weeks prior if I wanted one and I wasn't opposed but also didn't want to deal with the mess of it all. At that point when she mentioned getting in the tub I didn't care because I was in so much pain!
I got in the tub and she checked me and said he was right there!
At this point my mom and other sister slipped into the room to look on and take a few photos! They were waiting down the street at my sisters house…and didn't have to wait long! The plan was for them to come in right before he was born and they made it in time!
I pushed about 2 times to get his head out and I think 1-2 more for his body. 6:35pm was his time of birth! 2 hours after we had arrived at the birth center and 30 minutes after my water broke! I went from a 4-10 in about 1.5 hours! So about total time of labor and delivery was about 3.5 hours start to finish! I still think going this fast was crazy!
They handed him right to me and stimulated him at the same time! Healthy boy Cruz Benjamin! Ben and I were elated! Ben was able to cut the cord and then hold him right after. Two things he asked for and they made it a point to do which was awesome!
I delivered the placenta about 15 minutes after I had him which was super easy. If only delivering a baby was that easy! I wouldn't bring this part up but this was just another part of Cruz being such a miracle. As C was looking at my placenta she noticed something different about the cord. She discovered that one vessel was velamentous. Velamentous cord insertion is an abnormal condition during pregnancy.
Normally, the umbilical cord inserts into the middle of the placenta as it develops. In velamentous cord insertion, the umbilical cord inserts into the fetal membranes, then travels within the membranes to the placenta. The exposed vessels are not protected by Whartons jelly and hence are vulnerable to rupture. Rupture is especially likely if the vessels are near the cervix, i
n which case they may rupture in early labor, likely resulting in complications of death. We never knew about this and in most situations one doesn't know until the baby is born and placenta delivered! God definitely had His hand on this little mans life!
After I got cleaned up and things taken care of Ben and I got into a comfy bed they have in the birth room. Ben refused to rest although the bed was super comfy! It was still early evening and we were on a high! C started examining Cruz again and got all of his stats.
The whole experience was amazing. I felt that the whole birthing process, although painful, was natural and such a blessing. I felt so in control through the whole process. God was there, Ben was there. Some of my family was there. It was all we had prayed for and then some!
Ben and I snuggled on the bed with our new little blessing! After some more care to both baby and me some other family was able to visit because they were going out of town. We then got instructions for home and got to go home around 11 that night. Baby Cruz must have been excited to be in his new world or maybe not because he was either crying or eating until 3:30 the next morning! Finally he gave in and we were all able to get some sleep in our own bed!
We are still in awe that he is ours and that God had blessed us with him to love, cherish and care for. He knows the desires of our hearts and has honored this desire. This sweet baby boy has already blessed us so much and brought joy to our lives. He is such a content baby and full of smiles. Ben has said multiple times that Cruz makes him happy and that he is so in love with him.
This is so good to hear! God is good!
{night before baby}

and 11 days later we had some photos done by an amazing lady who blessed us...

The Covast OFTP Adapter, the most recent addition to the company's suite of IBM WebSphere integration products, complements the protocol support provided natively by WebSphere by adding seamless OFTP capability to the product. As a result, enterprises in automotive and retail which are required to use OFTP for business transactions are now able to use the IBM WebSphere platform.
By extending the platform's existing capabilities to support a wider breadth of B2B standards and protocols, Covast gives enterprises the tools to optimize the effectiveness of IBM WebSphere. When coupled with the Covast Map Accelerator, Covast helps enterprises quickly and easily migrate their existing B2B solutions to IBM WebSphere's single platform environment. This provides an end-to-end B2B integration solution to help companies fully realize the benefits inherent in IBM WebSphere, such as business activity monitoring (BAM) and business processes management (BPM).
The Covast OFTP Adapter is already being used by several large European automotive companies for mission critical applications. These deployments are delivering the following enterprise benefits:
- IBM WebSphere now offers full support to enterprises using OFTP. Enterprises using OFTP can now use IBM WebSphere for comprehensive enterprise integration.
- Integration benefits such as BAM and BPM are a reality. Enterprises can fully-achieve integration capabilities such as business activity monitoring (BAM) and business process management (BPM).
- Enterprise-wide integration that includes OFTP messaging impacts the bottom line. Now that enterprises can fully integrate their A2A and B2B applications on a single platform, they can reduce operational costs, improve productivity and inventory control.
"Augmenting the list of protocols supported by WPG with Covast's OFTP offering will allow a new set of customers to consolidate their fragmented, multiple B2B gateway environment into a single unified B2B partner management solution," said Art Ambrose, IBM Worldwide Sales Executive, B2B.
The ODETTE File Transfer Protocol was defined by the European automotive industry in 1986 to extend the traditional file-transfer capabilities of FTP to support just-in-time operations. OFTP supports end-to-end acknowledgments, binding of EDIFACT messages and runs on top of X.25 or ISDN connections. OFTP is now used by most major European automotive manufacturers and their suppliers. It is also used by the chemical industry, white goods manufacturers and is also being adopted by other sectors such as banking.
"If you are operating in a just-in-time environment, it is imperative that you maintain an integrated, precise view of your operations at all times. This means having the ability to send and receive business documents using a variety of protocols and standards. Covast's OFTP Adapter technology allows companies operating in the automotive industry to roll out WebSphere for their B2B communications now that it also supports the obligatory OFTP protocol," said Daan Scheer, CEO, Covast.
The new Covast OFTP Adapter for IBM WebSphere Partner Gateway is available today.

First Japanese enka singer of Indian origin is all set to make waves after 30 years
TOKYO: Not many know Sarbjit Singh Chadha (56) in his home country India, but in Japan, crowds throng to hear him sing and fans jostle to get his autograph even three decades after he burst into its music scene.
Chadha, the first non-Japanese singer of enka, a genre of Japanese music similar to the American country music, came from India as a teenager and fell in love with its music.
With no formal education in enka, Chadha, whose first album made waves in the country in 1975 and sold 1.5 lakh copies, said he learnt by listening to other artistes.
The Japanese love their music and the response was amazing especially as I was from India and the first non-Japanese to make a mark on the enka scene, he said.
His fan following included a whole generation of Japanese, most of who know him by his last name and took up Hindi after hearing him sing. I learnt Hindi after listening to his songs, said Takebayashi Yuri, programme producer of Japanese Broadcasting Corporation.
After a brief stint, however, Chadha withdrew from the music scene and returned to India to take care of his family business. But as he crooned in Tokyo again after a gap of 30 years, Chadha, who is making a comeback bid, was mobbed by joyous fans.
He will now be releasing a new album this month called Odoru Mahachadha named after the famous Rajnikath-starrer Odoru Maharaja (The Dancing Maharaja), a cult movie among Japanese youth.
But Chadha will have some stiff competition from the latest enka rage, Jero (27), an African American whose voice has mesmerised the Japanese audience.
Jero has revitalised enka and I am grateful to him. But his music has more of a hip-hop element. Fans tell me they hear the real enka in my songs, he said.
Asked why he quit after his initial success, Chadha cites tough visa rules that made long stays difficult in the country. After every six months we had to return to India. In the music industry too things were not as easy as they are today, he said.
Even after so many years, people remember Chadha and I am confident this time too I will get a bigger response, he said.

Penalties aplenty in early going, Ward, Axelsson and Kobasew score
|03.12.09 at 6:18 pm ET
Three penalties in the first two minutes of play here at the Garden in a game between the red-hot Ottawa Senators — winners of four straight — and the not-so-hot Bruins — losers of two in a row — at the TD Banknorth Garden.
The first B's penalty to Aaron Ward actually proved fortunate for the Black and Gold when Ward finished up his sin bin time and jumped out of the box behind the Ottawa defense. Ward received a long entry pass from Patrice Bergeron in the B's D-zone, skated in all alone and roofed a high, hard one right on the glove hand of Sens goalie Alex Auld. The whole play was set up by a goal-saving blocked shot by Zdeno Chara in the defensive end.
The score is the first career short-handed goal for the 35-year-old Ward.
13:08: Beautiful give and go between PJ Axelsson and David Krejci that ends with Krejci putting a perfect dish on Axelsson's tape, and the Swede roofed another shot against Auld for another Boston score. That was a flicker of the old Krejci with the uncanny puck instincts.
13:04: Fight between Milan Lucic and Chris Neil in a busy first period. Good shots on both sides, and the refs step in when Looch's jersey comes up over his head.
12:35: Huge hit by Michael Ryder on Anton Volchenkov as Ryder carried the puck and dished it in the offensive zone. Lots of oohs and aaahs as Volchenkov the aggressor was dumped on the ice.
9:36: Bing, bang boom. Former BC skater Ryan Shannon goes off with a penalty, and Ryder finds Kobasew right on the doorstep with a quick tap-in bid that bounced off Auld's skate and into the net.
7:12: Great stop by Tim Thomas on a Dany Heatley wraparound bid going left to right, but the rebound kicked out to Jason Spezza in the slot, and that's a spot he doesn't miss from.
4:26: Snapping glove save by Auld of a Montador slapper on a loose puck that was leaking back to him at the blue line. Good jump by both the Marc Savard/Blake Wheeler/Phil Kessel and Milan Lucic/David Krejci/Michael Ryder combos.
1:03: Somewhat questionable holding penalty on Blake Wheeler, who clearly needs to start skating and moving his feet rather than bear-hugging his opposition.
The B's lead the Senators 3-1 at the end of the first period.

About MIUI music, only when you go to Online music, it fails to play any of the mp3 files.
Best regards.
I tried also with the original market that comes with this rom and it doesnt find GTA 3. Could it be related build.prop information?
EDIT: Okay, i tried with KI8 (kitchen version, deodexed) build.prop file and with that i can see it in market and its "compatible" so its related to build.prop.
EDIT2: Could it be maybe product info or that DPI?
krinyo75: Could you check this case and fix what need to be fixed so, like GTA and recless play is seen as compatible?
Question: How can i change default app for gallery? I installed KI8's default Gallery3D.apk already and it works perfectly, but when i take picture with camera and press that pictures thumbnail in corner to check it it opens it to different program than gallery. I even removed quickpic for a moment to see will it change this behaviour, but it didnt. Can you tell the way to change this? Main reason is that the gallery3d functions a lot faster, maybe it has GPU acceleration, dont know.

Guide to BRAZIL
BRAZIL which official name is Federative Republic of Brazil or Brazil, is a country from America located at the Eastern South America, bordering the Atlantic Ocean. BRAZIL with 16,885 km sq km, limits with: Argentina 1,261 km, Bolivia 3,423 km, Colombia 1,644 km, French Guiana 730.4 km, Guyana 1,606 km, Paraguay 1,365 km, Peru 2,995 km, Suriname 593 km, Uruguay 1,068 km, Venezuela 2,200 km; and is divided in 26 states . BRAZIL's capital is Brasília , but BRAZIL 's most populated city is sao paulo with about 10,021,437 inhabitants.
History of BRAZIL
BRAZIL's government is federal republic; a Republic with a Executive government type, with President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva as head of state.
Other symbols of BRAZIL are Brazilian motto " Ordem e progresso (Portuguese, Order and progress) Brazilian anthem "Hino Nacional Brasileiro (Brazilian National Anthem) Brazilian flag.Brazilian flag is composed by green with a large yellow diamond in the center bearing a blue celestial globe with 27 white five-pointed stars (one for each state and the Federal District) arranged in the same pattern as the night sky over Brazil; the globe has a white equatorial band with the motto ORDEM E PROGRESSO (Order and Progress) .
BRAZIL's history is quite long: Following three centuries under the rule of Portugal, Brazil became an independent nation in 1822 and a republic in 1889. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil overcame more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country when in 1985 the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem.
BRAZILs geography
BRAZIL has an area of 8,511,965Km ,with a coastline of 7491, this great area is composed by 8,456,510 sq km of land and 55,455 sq km of water. Brazilian geography is known by it's mostly flat land to rolling lowlands in north and some plains, hills, mountains, and narrow coastal belt . This makes Brazilian's land specially proclive to recurring droughts in northeast; floods and occasional frost in south.
Guide to travel to BRAZIL
If you are thinking on traveling to BRAZIL, you will have to take in consideration some points like BRAZIL's currency, BRAZIL's weather, BRAZIL's national holiday and BRAZIL's transports.
The first thing you need to know for your travels abroad is country's currency. BRAZIL`s currency is called real ( R$), which is divided in 100 centavos. For your consideration, real's exchange rate is about 0 per dolar.1.5754999339.
BRAZIL's weather is characterized to be mostly tropical, but temperate in south. So be sure of choosing the proper date to travel to BRAZIL.
You can also consider to visit BRAZIL on it's national holiday to get in BRAZIL's culture. If you do so, BRAZIL's national holiday is called Independence Day, 7 September.
Also, if you like natural wonders, don't forget to visit the highest point of BRAZIL: Pico da Neblina 3,014 m. And try also to get to BRAZIL's lowest point: Atlantic Ocean 0 mBut if you prefer the city, you must visit BRAZIL's tallest structure: ( ).
Don't be afraid to take a flight to BRAZIL, with more than 4,276 airports and 5 airlines, you will get to BRAZIL without problems. Once there, you can choose the transport type that better fits your needs. BRAZIL has about29,295 of railways, and also50,000 of roadways, so is a good place for a car trip.
Brazilian Culture
BRAZIL is known by Brazilians as Republica Federativa do Brasil or Brasil in the shortened way. Brazilian, about 190,010,647 people, are composed by different ethnics: white 53.7%, mulatto (mixed white and black) 38.5%, black 6.2%, other (includes Japanese, Arab, Amerindian) 0.9%, unspecified 0.7% (2000 census). And they also have different languages: Portuguese.
Another relevant point nowadays it's BRAZIL's religion. Brazilians are divided in Roman Catholic (nominal) 73.6%, Protestant 15.4%, Spiritualist 1.3%, Bantu/voodoo 0.3%, other 1.8%, unspecified 0.2%, none 7.4% (2000 census). So you can visit any of it's7 like St. Nicholas Cathedral, Săo Paulo .

Aren't there days when you don't want to squeeze your foot into those skyscraper heels and just take it easy in a pair of flats. Imagine entering a party with out-of-bed frizzy hair and schmoozing nonchalantly with everyone sporting poker-straight hair. We all love fashion but there are time when we all find ourselves caught in its booby traps. Why wear high heels when your ankles beg for comfy flats? Why not go au naturel if sitting for hours in a salon drives you up the wall? Do you really need to shop every spring and fall even though closet space can accommodate only so much? We may hate to accept it but once in a while we all have felt a pressure to look a certain way. On the occasion of Independence Day, we spoke to some of our style arbiters if they wish freedom from fashion...
Roohi Jaikishan, Businesswoman
I agree with you wholeheartedly. Fashion does not mean that we are in its shackles. Heavens! If I didn't look like a mess and always looked put together, I would be a very dull person and not human. Do bring it on ..
Haseena Jethmalani, Activist
I honestly think it's okay to look the way one is comfortable with themselves.There are days I might get dressed to the nines or just be in jeans and a t-shirt so long as the choice is mine. I feel no compulsion to look a certain way. Unless of course there is a dress code I would dress accordingly or not go at all. The choice still remains mine and that is freedom.
Masaba Gupta, Designer
We don't owe anyone beauty or perfection or a well turned out look all the time. It's great to take care of yourself and not look disheveled but to look like you said out of a magazine is to me just a perception. You could be in track pants and a loose t-shirt with undone hair but to some people that is high fashion.
Ami Patel, Stylist
For me there can never be a holiday from fashion. Even if I am on a break, say in a village, I'd end up appreciating a woman's floral sari. A t-shirt paired with track pants can be fashionable too. Coco Chanel has said, "Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." You could be sporting a denim on denim look and yet look fashionable.
Pranav Mishra, Designer
Fashion in itself is an escape, it's not just limited to the editorials. It's not something that we need to be running away from. Fashion is freedom - freedom from bad taste, freedom from ill fits, freedom from ignorance. What comes out in editorials is just the language of fashion, but how you wear and what you wear makes the literature of it.

Sebastian projects may include lights for sports field, new playground equipment
SEBASTIAN — New lighting for the multipurpose field and new equipment for the Creative Playground at the Barber Street Sports Complex are just two of the capital improvement projects that may be considered by the city of Sebastian for 2013.
At the Sebastian Parks Advisory Committee meeting Monday, City Manager Al Minner asked members to consider about $300,000 in capital projects for the next fiscal year. Expenditures for capital improvement projects are funded through recreational impact fees.
Cost for the lights at the multi-purpose field would be about $185,000, Minner estimated. Lighting would include four poles of lights and make the field usable at night by sports teams.
"Lights will expand the usefulness of that area," Minner said. "I think it's a good investment."
In addition to the new lights and playground equipment at the Barber Street complex, improvements to the skate park, new playground equipment for Schumann Park and the Sebastian Community Center, and resurfacing of the clay tennis courts at Friendship Park also made the wish list.
"We wanted to put these things out there for you to consider," Minner said. "We will take your recommendations, add or subtract projects and figure out where we go from here."
Parks committee member John Tenerowicz asked Parks and Recreation Superintendent Chris McCarthy if any of the improvements suggested for the skate park involved safety issues. McCarthy said the park was safe and the improvements included some new ramps and equipment.
"But I think we can make it another year — no problem," McCarthy said. "But it needs to be on the table to look at."

Sultry singer Shakira hit all the right notes in this strapless red gown last night at the Fifa Ballon d'Or Gala, but we can't help but notice a shirking resemblance to the sexiest cartoon of all time: Jessica Rabbit.
The Colombian born star rocked a glittering floor-length gown that showcased her hourglass shape, just like the Who Framed Roger Rabbit character.
[See also: Get Kelly Brook's look]
[See also: Get Kate Middleton's look]
And not just that, Shakira swept her short blonde curls into a side parting for a high voltage glamour look.
Although omg! don't usually look to animations for style inspiration this time we think we may just follow suit and rock a shorter version of this ultra sexy number on Saturday night.
We hope this look will catch on come Oscars/ BAFTA/Golden Globe season…
What do you think, would you wear this look?

I actually have a few:
POTC, Haunted Mansion and Mark Twain Riverboat.
Just another DL fan
Why would somebody go on Space Mtn, Matterhorn, Tower, Splash Mtn, Big Thunder or CA Screamin' for some "Quiet Time"?
Quiet time for me = Railroad, Small World, Pirates, Mark Twain, Animation building.
For me, it's either Pirates of the Caibbean, Haunted Mansion, Splash Mountain, or the Railroad Each one of those is very relaxing for me, and it always makes me feel better

A little adrenaline rush is all I need to relieve pent up stress. I wouldn't go so far as riding Tower of Terror but Space Mountain is my ideal ride for "quiet time." All I need is to hear is the hum of the loading dock and I'm thrown back to the first time I rode Space as a child.

Just wondering, why isn't Pirates on here?

Waiting for
Can't say that list would really be any I would have put up! I chose DLRR however I would have put pirates, HM, Mark Twain, Alice, Storybookland, and pooh ahead if I could!
For me, I like IASW, DLRR, and the Subs for some relaxation time. On some long days, I find myself fighting the urge to nod off on the Submarine Voyage. I'd pick Peter Pan's Flight cuz I love it, but the long wait tends to cancel out the relaxing factor.
Also, the Tiki Room is a fantastic spot to grab a favorite snack, enjoy the Garden pre-show, and sing with the birdies while you take a load off.
Over at DCA, I adore the Animation Academy and Turtle Talk with Crush - both are great ways to rest your feet.
We are left with our memories, Mr. Wiggins.
But, I'd step off the rides, grab a sofa spot in the lobby of the Grand Californian, and snooze for a while. That's quality quiet time.
I actually find Space Mountain to be really relaxing. The gentle rocking back and forth is just so soothing to me, and I love the music. I could probably fall asleep on that ride.
the railroad because i love the train and it goes around the park. tower of terror because i love the thrill and the drops and its very adventurous.
I like to get my quiet time on Tom Sawyer's Island and finding a nice spot along the water and watch the crowds in NOS from across the river.

With the J. Cole-assisted single version of Beyoncé's Party riding high on the Billboard (and Booth) charts, DJ Ted Smooth has tried his hand at a more radical, unofficial revamp of the 4 inclusion. On this remix, Smooth flips a sample from Marvin Gaye's Let's Get It On to back the singer's vocals, as well as Styles P.'s newly-added guest bars. How does this rendition stack up against the version currently gracing the airwaves? Do you still prefer the Andre 3k-featuring original? As always, we eagerly await your feedback…
