State Bank of India (SBI) has reported a net profit of Rs.3,396.06 crore in the third quarter ended December 31, 2012, a growth of 4.08 per cent as compared to Rs.3,263.04 crore in the third quarter of 2011-12. Higher provisions and lower interest income brought down the net profit. Net interest income (difference between interest earned and interest expended) was down by 3.16 per cent at Rs.11,154.46 crore against Rs.11,518.80 crore.
Total provisions increased by 9.95 per cent to Rs.4,394.70 crore from Rs.3,996.97 crore. Provisions towards loan loss were lower at Rs.2,766.18 crore against Rs.3,006.11 crore, down by 7.98 per cent.
"Retail growth showed maximum growth on the back of home and auto loan growth. We will be selective in our lending in the mid-corporate segment," said Pratip Chaudhuri, Chairman, while addressing a press conference here on Thursday.
Retail advances increased from Rs.1,75,322 crore in December 2011 to Rs.1,99,824 crore in December 2012, and home loans from Rs.99,019 crore to Rs.1,13,163 crore. Auto loans increased by 31.25 per cent and education loans by 9.68 per cent.
SME advances increased from Rs.1,52,951 crore in December 2011 to Rs.1,70,316 crore in December 2012 , an increase of 11.35 per cent. "We expect loan growth to stay above 18 per cent, while deposit growth to be above 14 per cent for the fiscal," Mr. Chaudhuri added.
Deposits of the bank increased from Rs.10,00,965 crore to Rs.11,56,691 crore, a growth of 15.56 per cent. Savings bank deposits increased from Rs.3,67,896 crore to Rs.4,10,906 crore, up by 11.69 per cent. Gross advances increased from Rs.8,69,393 crore to Rs.10,09,110 crore, a growth of 16.07 per cent. Large corporate advances increased from Rs.1,24,567 crore to Rs.1,56,684 crore and mid-corporate advances from Rs.1,66,903 crore to Rs.1,78,509 crore.
On slippages, Mr. Chaudhuri said that "many accounts in the mid-corporate segment, pharmaceuticals, iron and steel have turned into slippages. We expect about Rs.2,000 crore of those assets to be reversed to standard by fiscal end."
No loans to troubled Sahara cos
PTI reports:
The bank said it did not have any exposure to Sahara group companies but had deposits of Rs.700-800 crore from the firms. "I think some of our branches have their (Sahara companies) deposits ... so if they get pulled out, it will be Rs.700-800 crore. But we don't have any advances to them," Mr. Chaudhuri said.
The bank had not yet received any notice or circular from the SEBI or other enforcement agencies for freezing Sahara accounts, another senior bank official said.
"It (SEBI notice) will come. It takes two or three days for them to send the notice (after the order has been passed). The moment it comes we will take action," the official said.
SEBI on Wednesday ordered freezing of bank accounts of two Sahara Group companies and attaching all investments and properties of Sahara Housing Investment Corporation and Sahara India Real Estate Corporation and their top executives, including group chief Subrata Roy with regard to the investor refund case involving over Rs.24,000 crore.

"You don't become an otaku by trying…you just wake up one day, and realize you are one."
Who I am
I'm 26, male, student and into Anime since summer 2011
First Anime
Dragonball, One Piece and Naruto on TV first, then Elfen Lied, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust and various Ghibli movies. Since then I'm pretty much hooked.
What I watch
I can enjoy pretty much everything except shonen-ai. I try to keep up with the new interesting shows, movies and OVAs. Simultaniously I go back chronologicaly on the anime timeline watching the good stuff I missed year-wise. Nowadays I don't watch nearly as much as before, back then I often hit 36 episodes a day. Today I try to be really selective and filter out the quality entertainment.
Favourite Animation Studios
SHAFT, P.A. Works, ufotable, Kyotoanimation, Madhouse, Gainax (Trigger)
Favourite Anime
Check my 4.5 and 5 star ratings.
Favourite Manga
I don't enjoy scans as much as having a book in my hands, so I have a huge physical manga collection (almost over 1k)
Berserk, Blade of the Immortal, Hunter X Hunter, GTO, Lone Wolf & Cub, work of Osamu Tezuka
Other things I like
I also like ero doujinshi, recently I started to collect anime figures (but I don't have much money for this atm), occasionally eroge and western pc games.
My first Gunpla
Some useful links
Blog looking back on 50 years of anime (very recommended)
Berserk Forum
Video-Blog on Japanese (Otaku) Culture:
22,022 total episodes
i only do stuff uncredited and i wont tell anyone either, so sry for that. the 2 projects were "bigger" ones and i thought it was worth a mention. normally i do only startrek-like one liners or background noises and that are too many to count and not worth mention ;)
Hey what's up? :)
Thank you! I like your avatar as well.
Late Response but eh Anime is my life :P
Ahh ok :DI like romance and comedy alot and some vampire or magic stuff would also be great xD But anything that lets me fall in love with the characters is good enough for me ;)

Skewer came to life in 2005, hailing from Barreiro (Portugal). Part of the first line-up were Valerio (Guitars/Vocals/Drums) and Telmo (Bass/Back Vocals). This line-up recorded a Demo in 2006, with a sound resembling the 90's Alternative Rock. This Demo was entitled "I Need Something Stronger", was recorded in February 2006 and was self-released in 500 copies. Most of these songs were composed by Valerio between 1994-1999. .
In the same year, the band toured nationally, with 25 concerts to promote the Skewer name and the new release "I Need Something Stronger". In June 2006, Joao Galrito joins the band as the bass player. In May 2007, the band begins the recording of a new EP, baptized "Whatever", with 6 searing Rock tunes. The line-up for this EP was: Joao Galrito (Drums), Valerio (Guitars/Vocals) and the new bassist, Ernani Carlos. .
With a lot of shows in Portugal, Skewer then focused on releasing "Whatever" and composing songs for the debut album. A video clip for the single "Stayed" gains shape.

The Portuguese press then began to notice Skewer, and they add to their resume interviews with some newspapers, magazines and blogs such as: I-Music, Jornal Rostos, Jornal do Barreiro, Correio da Manha, Jornal 24Horas, Webbarreiro, Agaragem.com, Santos da Casa, Margem Sul, ATrompa, Loud and Underworld. Brazilian magazines Rock Press, Rock Brigade and Mundo Rock also wrote about Skewer
Skewer releases "Whatever" in August 2007 as an author's edition (with digital distribution by the American CD Baby). In November, a contract is signed with the French Online Label Believe www.believe.fr to officialise in January 2008 the online release of the "Whatever" EP, with the support of Virgin, who added Believe to their catalog).

While summer may seem far away during this cold dreary season, our staff are already planning for the summer ahead, as well as learning from past summers.
Simply put, our winter rainfall determines our summer water supply. However, it gets very complicated when you add in factors like long term weather predictions, past and projected water demands, successful regional water conservation, native fish protection…and on and on.
To learn more about our efforts to consistently manage water supply in every season, visit our Seasonal Supply Planning webpage. Specifically, the "retrospective" provides details about the 2011 drawdown.

Water. Save a Little. Help a Lot.
It seems that cyclically our Customer Service staff get a string of calls from customers concerned about letters/calls they are receiving from insurance companies offering to protect their water service line. Staff has been told that sales people introduce themselves as having a relationship with the "water department." This is not true. The Portland Water Bureau is a public utility, and does not contract/affiliate with any insurance providers.
The most current letter Portlanders have been receiving, from Homeserve, Inc., offers customers an annual coverage of $6,000 for $59.88 per year. Yet, the reality is that even if your water line needs to be replaced, this would cost you an average of $2500. But the real area of concern is in the fine print, under the "General Exclusions." Read it for yourself, but excluding "Acts of God" and "repair of covered parts, equipment and/or systems due to reduction in performance caused by normal wear and tear" makes us suspicious that any customers signing up for this coverage may never see any claim paid.
While we are on the subject, let us remind our customers to beware of anyone asking for money to pay for the water system:
If you are ever suspicious of anything related to your water service, please call our Customer Service hotline: (503) 823-7770.

In a February 29 Federal Register notice, EPA announced an April 24 date for its second public meeting to discuss the Long Term 2 Enhanced Surface Water Treatment Rule (LT2ESWTR). The all day (8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.) meeting will be held at EPA headquarters in Washington, D.C., and will focus on the uncovered finished water reservoir provisions of the LT2ESWTR.
"The primary focus of this meeting is to have a scientific and technical discussion related to uncovered finished water reservoirs. EPA will consider the data and/or information discussed at this meeting during the agency's review of the LT2 rule, which the agency announced as part of EPA's Retrospective Review Plan under Executive Order (E.O.) 13563 in August 2011"
"This meeting is open to the public. EPA encourages public input and will allocate time on the agenda to receive verbal statements. EPA requests that participants limit statements to the topics described in the SUMMARY section of this notice and will hold participants to a set timeframe for their statements."
The EPA notice encourages stakeholders who wish to submit data for consideration during the meeting to due so in advance.
Further details on the meeting, including logistical and registration information, are available in the Federal Register notice.
The Portland Water Bureau plans on having staff participate in the meeting to stay informed regarding EPA's consideration of technical information which could affect federal requirements for uncovered finished drinking water reservoirs and plans on sharing relevant monitoring data from Portland's system including data collected during a Water Research Foundation study "Detection of Infectious Cryptosporidium in Conventionally Treated Drinking Water" in 2010.
Did you know that this is Groundwater Awareness Week? Here in Portland, community partnerships are an important strategy for protecting groundwater.
I recently attended an excellent educational event, Slough 101, organized by the Columbia Slough Watershed Council.
The Portland Water Bureau's Columbia South Shore Well Field parallels part of the Columbia Slough. Cleaning up the slough has been a major focus of the Columbia Slough Watershed Council, a non-profit organization. The water bureau and the watershed council have a common interest in protecting groundwater (much of the slough's flow comes from groundwater), and we have a long-term cooperative relationship. We work together on several annual public events, including Slough 101, Cycling the Well field, Aquifer Adventure, and Groundwater 101.
At Slough 101, Rebecca Geisen talked about Portland's water system, the role that the groundwater system plays as a back-up drinking water system, and the Groundwater Protection Program. The Groundwater Protection Program has both educational and enforcement elements. It enforces the city ordinance that regulates use and disposal of hazardous materials in the Columbia South Shore Well Field Wellhead Protection Area. Rebecca's group also has an agreement with the Columbia Corridor Association for the latter to provide educational and outreach services to businesses in the protection area that use hazardous materials. The Groundwater Protection Program also provides funding to the Portland Fire Bureau and the City of Gresham to inspect businesses and industries in the Wellhead Protection Area. Rebecca also mentioned that the Oregon Department of Environmental Quality manages clean-up of contaminated sites, generally paid for by the responsible parties.
Corky Collier, of the Columbia Corridor Association, talked about the history of trading, commercial, and industrial use of the slough area, and how industries have been encouraged (or required) to take the many steps necessary to clean up the slough, and prevent groundwater contamination.
Two Portland Bureau of Environmental Services (BES) representatives talked about the many things that BES does to promote surface water and groundwater quality. One of the great successes from a groundwater perspective is getting homes and businesses off of septic systems, and connected to the public sanitary sewer system.
Brian Woltersdorf of the Multnomah County Drainage District told the group how they maintained the slough, the levees protecting the watershed from flooding, and the giant pumps used to pump slough water into the Willamette or Columbia River most months of the year. Without the Drainage District, Portland's wellfield, the airport, and hundreds of businesses would be flooded almost every winter.
During the break, I remarked to my daughters, who attended with me, that all these partnerships among public agencies, businesses, and non-profits, each with different core missions and different ways of working, isn't easy - it takes months or years of cooperative work. All that work is a big part of the community effort that protects our groundwater.
Groundwater is the world's most abundant source of fresh water, and 44% of the United States' population relies on groundwater for drinking water. We all have a role in protecting this precious water source.
Patrick Easley, P.E.
Groundwater Program Manager

The Tashiro Kaplan building is now home to a new, independent, contemporary art gallery. METHOD Gallery occupies the large, window-lit space at the front of Project 106, a collection of new studios and commercial units built out in the long dormant, 4500 SF Tashiro basement space underneath 4Culture.

Fluffy Rice - Side Dishes
Print version
Fluffy Rice
The following recipe yields perfect results every time: fluffy rice that's dry and a little chewy -- just like in Chinese restaurants.
1 cup long-grain rice, unwashed if young
11/2 cups cold water
1/4 teaspoon salt
1. Place the rice in a heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add the water and salt. Place the pan over high heat, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat slightly, but continue to boil until the water is just about evaporated, 5 to 10 minutes.
2. Bring heat down as low as you can. Cover pan, and cook rice until tender, about 15 minutes. Place a clean tea towel (or dish cloth) on top of rice, cover again, remove pan from heat, and let sit for 5 minutes.
3. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.
Note: If you don't use a heat-tamer, you may get a crusty layer of rice on the bottom of the pan. This is prized in many cultures - it even gets its own name, depending on what country you're in. In Thailand, they let the crusty rice dry in the sun, cut it into circles, deep-fry the circles, and use them as a pick-up for dips. So do not scrape the crusty layer at the bottom of the saucepan into your fluffy rice. Instead, dry it for a few minutes, in the saucepan, in a 300° oven. Then, scrape it out, break it up, and deep-fry the clumps for a great snack.
The following recipe yields perfect results every time: fluffy rice that's dry and a little chewy-just like in Chinese restaurants. It's very important that during the second step of the recipe you get the heat as low as possible; you might want to use a heat-tamer on your burner (a metal pad that lowers the amount of heat under the pot). Makes about 3 cups.

Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to Runch
Sometimes the iPhone 5 doesn't get any signal, not even 3G. It just says 'No Service' indefinitely until I restart the phone. Turning Airplane Mode on/off doesn't work either. Has anyone seen this too? Perhaps it is related to the LTE issues that we are experiencing. Bell/Virgin user in downtown Toronto here.
scottyontario Sep 24, 2012 10:01 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to Runch
Ok. so I just spoke with Virgin Mobile Network Development and Instilation Department. seems that toronto's LTE coverage has more holes then swiss cheese.. for instance MAJOR parts of the 401 are NOT covered (401 and Don Mills for instance as well as north on don mills and sheppard) there is also a HUGE block between york mills and 401 between Don Mills and Bayview).. also HALF of the DT core is NOT covered HOWEVER ALL THREE GTA APPLE STORES ARE COVERED!! Go Fig! ALSO the phone will NOT say 4G.. EVER it will say 3G OR LTE ONLY!! (at least on virgin mobile!) sorry guys.. seems we are stuck with what we got until the CANADIAN LTE NETWORK is improved...
JCali Sep 24, 2012 10:03 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to JCali
I'm on McMaster campus in Hamilton and the LTE service is pretty good. On my commute, I received LTE near Third line, Brant St and Fairview, all along the QEW, and on campus. Pretty much, the onlt places that got LTE were major intersections / highways. I have a feeling that those of us experiencing issues arent getting LTE due to poor signal coverage on Bell's part. I signed my 3 year contract because Bell claims to have the best LTE network in Canada... Does anyone else feel ripped off with Bell?
EDIT: Oops, scott beat me to it.
xtf18 Sep 24, 2012 10:25 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to bhaskar21
Is your S3 on Bell as well? This is probably an iPhone specific issue.
bhaskar21 Sep 24, 2012 10:35 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to xtf18
S3 works well side by side with iPhone. There could be reception issues on the iPhone or a an issue with what's displayed on the screen at least?
Because try holding Ur phone like Ur texting (so holding it with both hands on the sides), I usually lose a couple bars on 3G or if I m on LTE, I drop down to 3G.
I went outside my house, 4 bars on LTE, walk back in: 2 bars of LTE at certain sweet spots and it keeps dropping. Exact same at my university which is in the middle of Edmonton. LTE drops the second I get beneath anything. My LTE dropped when I sat under a tree. Maybe it's just showing 3G when it might be connected to LTE? Or this might have a reception issue.
JCali Sep 24, 2012 10:39 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to bhaskar21
If you could install the SpeedTest app and post your speeds on 3G and on LTE, that would be a great help. As far as I can tell, 3G is 3G and LTE is LTE on the iPhone. It has no problem "labeling" the two. I get 3G speeds when on 3G and LTE speeds while it says im on LTE.
Paul Herceg Sep 24, 2012 10:42 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to JCali
Same as me. 3G appends when it says 3G and 4G speeds when it says LTE.
bhaskar21 Sep 24, 2012 10:45 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to JCali
6 down and 2 up on 3G
30 down, 8 up when I went outside my house to check.
Once at home, my phone said LTE and the speed was 8 down and 2 up but within a couple minutes of that test, it dropped down to 3G... The phone wasn't moved at all.
Also, addressing the previous question. S3 is on Bell
copetoons Sep 24, 2012 11:10 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to bhaskar21
Ditto to @bhaskar21 about the connection dropping to 3G without moving at all.
Ditto also to @xtf18 about seeing 'No Service' displayed indefinitely. This usually happens if I toggle the "Enable LTE" under Settings -> General -> Cellular ... Has happened numerous times in the past few days.
scottyontario Sep 24, 2012 11:16 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to Runch
so just spoke AGAIN to Virgin network team.. they said.. the LTE will be bumped down for those who are not using it.. when a high demand device requires it.. there are only so many LTE channels available.. SO the tower will drop your device to 3G if your device is not needing or using high data, for a device that IS using high data.. I know its complicated and not exactly fair.. but thats how it is! lol
xtf18 Sep 24, 2012 11:24 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to scottyontario
I feel like that's a BS answer because they don't know what's going on. It also doesn't explain how 1 phone has LTE and the other one doesn't when they're from the same company like bhaskar21's S3 and iPhone.
copetoons Sep 24, 2012 11:52 AM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to scottyontario
@scottyontario ... So, what they're saying is that someone streaming YouTube, they are a higher priority compared to someone conducting business, etc.
It would be nice if the service providers just corrected their falsely advertised services.
bhaskar21 Sep 24, 2012 12:50 PM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to xtf18
S3 has a better reception fr some reason. Are Samsung and apple using te same LTE chips? I know apple has only one chip for 2g/3G/hspa+ and LTE. Also, even when on LTE, S3's speeds are faster than iPhone's. there is an article on this as well : http://www.gottabemobile.com/2012/09/24/iphone-5-has-a-harder-time-retaining-4g- lte-signal-than-android-rivals/
shanefromvaughan Sep 24, 2012 1:49 PM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to xtf18
@xtf18 and @copetoons, same issue here with Virgin Mobile. Phone will go into no service mode, and the only fix is rebooting. Even toggling airplane mode doesn't fix it. Not sure where to go with this - Virgin or Apple? Thoughts?
Paul Herceg Sep 24, 2012 1:52 PM
Re: No 4G Bell ???? in response to shanefromvaughan
Same issue on Bell. Only a restart reconnects. I think it is a Bell/Virgin issue as I have not heard of Rogers users having this problem.

Homemade Christmas cocktails guarantee happy holidays
More News from Clifford Aw
This holiday season, drinks are just as important as food for every celebration. And like the special food prepared for the season, the drinks should convey either the rustic comfort of home or carefree indulgence.
Hot Buttered Rum
This rum-based hot cocktail ensures that you get that warm, fuzzy feeling inside. Be sure to read the instructions on the batter.
In a preheated coffee mug, combine 2 heaping tbsp of the batter with 1½ oz Old Captain 8-Year-Old Rum (or Old Captain 5-Year-Old Rum). Top with boiling water and stir well to mix. Serve with a spoon.
1 lb light brown sugar
1/2 lb unsalted butter (softened)
2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground allspice
2 tsp vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, beat together softened butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and spices until well-combined. Refrigerate in an airtight reusable container for up to a month, or place in your freezer until ready to use.
Hint: It is best to make the batter in advance so the spices have an opportunity to mingle. Be sure to remove batter from refrigerator at least six hours prior to serving to allow it to soften.
Cappuccino Up
What better way to get through all those Christmas parties than with some liquid vodka confidence and a kick from real espresso?
½ oz Toska Vodka
1½ oz Amadeo Coffee Liqueur
½ oz evaporated milk
½ oz vanilla syrup
Shake ingredients together with a small amount of ice. Pour and spoon foam on top. Sprinkle with cinnamon and raw sugar and garnish with a Graham cracker piece.
Tropical Eggnog
This eggnog-like alcoholic beverage is a traditional Puerto Rican holiday drink. But this time, we make it 100-percent Filipino.
28 oz coconut milk
2 c Old Captain 5-Year-Old Rum
14 oz condensed milk
4 egg yolks
Place ingredients in blender; blend until well-mixed. Pour into a bottle and refrigerate until cold. Serve in small glasses and sprinkle top lightly with nutmeg.
This Christmas staple not the easiest to make, and is ideally prepared in large quantities, but it's a great way to have the best Christmas party in town.
8 large eggs
4 egg yolks
1 c granulated sugar
5 c whole milk
1½ c Old Captain 8-Year-Old Rum
1 c Napoleon VSOP Brandy
1 tbsp pure vanilla extract
½ tsp freshly grated nutmeg
2 c whipping cream
2 tbsp superfine sugar
In a mixing bowl, whisk eggs, yolks, and granulated sugar until smooth. Pour into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Stir in milk, gradually blending well with each addition. Heat slowly over very low heat, stirring steadily until the mixture reaches 160-170° F on an instant-read thermometer.
The custard should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon: if you draw your finger across the back of the spoon, the line will remain distinct and the custard sauce is done.
Pour the custard through a fine-meshed sieve into a large bowl. Stir in vanilla the Old Captain 8-Year-Old Rum, Napoleon VSOP Brandy and nutmeg. Let mixture cool, then cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until cold, at least three hours and up to one day.
Just before serving, whip cream into very soft peaks, beating in superfine sugar as you go. Gently fold into custard mixture until incorporated. Serve from a chilled punch bowl or ladle into individual martini glasses, garnishing with grated nutmeg if desired.
Makes 16 cups; serves 18-20.
Cranberry Sparkle
Nothing says celebration like champagne. Make sure to incorporate it in some of your cocktails to give it that dry bubbly finish.
1 oz Toska vodka
2 oz cranberry juice with ice
1 oz champagne
Shake vodka and cranberry juice with ice. Strain into chilled martini glass and top with champagne. Garnish with raspberries.
Chocolate Beer
While the classic Tequila bomb doesn't make a traditional Christmas cocktail, adding the flavor of coffee from El Hombre XO works well in creating a dark chocolate beer taste.
1oz El Hombre XO
1 glass Cerveza Negra or any dark lager beer
Pour the El Hombre XO into the glass of beer, stir a bit and serve.
Try not to limit yourselves this Christmas, because every party deserves drinks that make everyone feel special.

Before legislators decide on next year's budget, they should remember 2012. That's when the S.C. Department of Revenue experienced one of the largest security breaches ever.
And they should imagine what would happen with a security failure in the state's judicial system.
It's certainly a significant factor in State Supreme Court Chief Justice Jean Toal's budget request.
She's asking for $6 million for new technology and training to improve security and $1.5 million a year to operate the system.
It's no puny amount. But the fallout that would follow if the state's court data were lost would be huge.
As Mrs. Toal told a Senate panel recently, "Recurring funds of this type are going to be a part of everybody's budget as you move toward electronic systems."
Judge Toal has wisely advanced technological improvements during her tenure, recognizing they are vital to a court system that runs smoothly and efficiently. The S.C. court system, which is already significantly understaffed, has a heightened need for technology and safeguards for that technology.
For example, the chief justice would like to establish a site at Clemson University to back up digital court records now stored in Columbia. Doing that would cost $5.5 million. It would cost another $500,000 to train staff on data security measures.
Judge Toal says the backup system would allow court business to continue in the event of a disaster that affects data stored in Columbia.
As she reminded legislators last year, an inefficient or inoperative judiciary harms more than a family wanting to settle an estate or people disputing a contract. It harms the reputation of the state in general, and hence the state's appeal for business owners who might be interested in relocating or expanding here.
For several years, the chief justice has been pushing for an electronic court document filing system. Also, she says it is difficult to fill court reporters' jobs in the state. A digital court reporting system, now being tested in Dorchester County, would help address that problem.
The House budget includes $67.7 million for the judicial department. That does not include her security requests - or another $850,000 to improve security in the buildings that house the Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals. It would also allow her to increase the number of circuit court and family court judges and staff attorneys for both appellate courts. Dockets around the state are overloaded, and these additional positions are necessary to ease that problem.
A functioning court system is one of the most important underpinnings of a healthy society. South Carolina needs to ensure its judiciary has the resources to do its work safely and efficiently.

The Bombay City Civil and Sessions Court on Wednesday rapped the Enforcement Directorate (ED) for not putting forth a proper case against Pune-based real estate agent and stud farm owner Hasan Ali Khan, while seeking his custody under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
"At least prima facie, you have to be able to make out some case [against Mr. Khan]," Principal Judge M.L. Tahaliyani told the ED.
He adjourned the case till Thursday, asking the ED to "do homework." Mr. Khan will remain in ED custody for another day.
The ED demanded 14 days' custody of Mr. Khan stating that he had already admitted some of his crimes. Special Public Prosecutor Niti Punde told the court that the transfer of $ 7 lakh from Sarasin Bank in Basel, Switzerland, to Barclays Bank, London, in the account of S.K. Financial Services, United Kingdom, was the subject matter of the remand application.
She said that earlier Mr. Khan had denied transferring the funds. "[It was] only on the 15 {+t} {+h} [February] for the first time that he admitted a few things. This is a matter which needs further enquiry," Ms. Punde told the judge.
The agency last recorded Mr. Khan's statement on February 15 after which he was summoned to be present on March 10. "Initially he had flatly denied his involvement. He said the documents were forged. But now he admits. He won't cooperate or give any evidence unless he is in custody," she said.
But Justice Tahaliyani asked the agency to "show the criminal activity." He asked the agency about the source of the documents on which it was relying. When Ms. Punde said that the source was undisclosed, he asked how could the agency rely on documents from undisclosed sources. "You show me one of the ingredients of the offences," he said.
Ms. Punde told him that the agency had received the documents of the transaction from the Income Tax department in 2007. "What was the initial deposit?" Justice Tahaliyani asked. When Ms. Punde said that it was $ 7 lakh, he said: "You are wrong. The initial deposit is $ 15 lakh. Thereafter it is $ 24 lakh."
"Have you found out where it has come from?" Justice Tahaliyani asked.
"What case is made out against Hasan Ali under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act? Some crime has been committed. You show me the criminal activity," he said.
He further pulled up the ED after Ms. Punde referred to the case of multiple passports acquired by Mr. Khan. She said that he had used the passport extensively for travelling in Europe where he holds accounts. "Did he make money from the passport," he asked, demanding concrete proof. Ms. Punde said the agency wanted to interrogate him for the transfer of money to Barclays Bank.

Back-to-back year-ends can be a little confusing—even we need a cheat sheet for the DCMS vs. Fiscal/Chapter year-ends.
The 2012-13 DCMS year ends April 30. That
means it's the last day to complete any of the following requirements to count
towards you 2012-13 goals:
Anything accomplished after April 30 will count towards your chapter's 2013-14 goals.
Note: Although education programs and
newsletters must be produced by April 30, chapters have until May 10 to
report and still maintain their on-time reporting points.
The 2012-13 chapter leaders turn over the
reins to the new officers and board of directors on June 1. This means
that any voting matters before May 31 must go before the 2013-14 board.
Some chapters have their officer installation before May 31. There is
nothing that prevents your chapter from doing this as long as you
recognize that this is a ceremonial installation and that legally the
2013-14 officers and directors do not have voting authority until June
Similarly, the 2013-14 HFMA Officers and
Board of Directors and the Regional Executive Council don't assume their
responsibilities until June 1.
So presidents should hang on to that gavel until June 1.
The staggered year-ends allows us to
crunch the numbers and prepare awards in time for the Annual Chapter
Presidents Dinner Meeting and Awards at ANI. This year's Chapter Presidents Dinner is June 18. Chapter presidents received an email on April 29 with instructions on how to RSVP for their leadership team who will be in attendance at the dinner.

Microsoft keyboard problems.
Hey, I recently purchased a Microsoft comfort keyboard 3000. I use this on a 21.5' iMac (June 2010 model), And, I noticed that my @ sign, and my apostrophe key, have switched, just like on the apple keyboard, and I can't use my Hash key (it comes out as a backslash). I've checked on the Microsoft website for any driver information, and all their is, warranty information & a product guide. I'm going to go ahead and check the product guide for any enlightenment on this topic. I'll keep you guys posted.
Anyway, if you have any suggestions, would be appreicated.
Thanks, Joel.
Just checked the product guide, no insight their. The link to the keyboard is:http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en...-keyboard-3000
|Dec 22, 2011, 06:11 PM
Assuming that you have the latest version of Microsoft's keyboard software installed (Intellitype, I think it's called), there are two possibilities I can think of off hand.
One is that the keyboard preference is set to do some kind of swapping--check the preference pane to make sure. I know their driver has a pref to switch the Windows and Alt keys to the standard Mac order for Command and Option, so it might have something similar.
The second is to check what keyboard layout you have selected in the Language & Text preference pane. It's possible that it's defaulted to a keyboard layout different from the one you've got--for example, UK instead of US--which you can see in the Input Sources tab. If you don't have the input menu in the Menu Bar turned on, you wouldn't normally notice this.
I know I've used that trick to get the keys to be where I expected them for touch typing on a Japanese keyboard by setting it to UK.

The South of Scotland member had referred herself for scrutiny by Holyrood's corporate body amid wider allegations in a newspaper about her private life.
Her solicitor Aamer Anwar said the matter was now closed and she was not being investigated by the Public Standards Commissioner or by Police Scotland. The investigation centred on the decision to hire a professional photographer at a cost of £1750 to produce work for constituency publications, he said. "When the photographer withdrew consent to use the photographs and the contract could not be completed, Ms McAlpine refunded the expenses to Parliament out of her own pocket and at her own instigation. There was no cost to the public purse."

Coalition for Green Bank Congratulates House Energy and Commerce Committee on Moving Comprehensive Climate and Energy Bill Forward
Advancing the Future of Green Energy Sector
The House bill would promote the development and deployment of renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies through the improvement of existing programs and the establishment of a self-sustaining Clean Energy Deployment Administration, which would promote access to affordable financing for clean energy and energy efficiency technologies. It is estimated that this bill would cut emissions more than 80 percent over the next half-century. Key to this objective are the policies driving the bill and the opportunity to create financing for renewable energy and energy efficient technologies and transmission.
"The House Energy and Commerce Committee under the leadership of Chairman
"Not only is this a huge victory for legislative leaders, including Congressman

Unforgettable stars 'live' on
Some stars make such an indelible impact on viewers' sensibilities that, even after their demise, they aren't forgotten. It isn't just their famous screen portrayals that fans cherish, but also the dear, departed stars' very essence as luminaries, and as people.
Celebrities who belong in this exclusive list include Rudolf Valentino—upon his demise, a couple of his female devotees were so devastated that they committed suicide! Then, there was king comic Charlie Chaplin. He wasn't a looker, but comedy fans loved his physically adroit visual comedy, which new comedians study with reverence and awe to this day.
James Dean died when he was only in his late 20s, but he helped launch a new, much more acutely real school of acting, the "Method" style, which is similarly emulated up till now.
Marilyn Monroe also died much too early, and under more controversial circumstances, so she's similarly greatly missed today—ditto for Elvis Presley, whose demise likewise involved the use of drugs.
Another factor that many of those unforgettable stars have in common is the fact that their estates continue to make millions of dollars each year, even if they are no longer around to benefit from all that additional, "postmortem" income. —Not to worry, however, their relatives and descendants are only too happy to enjoy and spend the extra moolah!
Topping the list last year in this regard was Elizabeth Taylor, whose estate earned a whopping $210 million bonanza from the sale of her jewels and artworks. It helped a lot that a number of the celebrated screen beauty's jewels were famous in their own right, like the huge diamond that Richard Burton gifted her with at the height of their passionate relationship.
Instructively, Liz's estate also made millions from her old movies, since she had astutely negotiated a percentage of ownership of many of her starrers. In addition, her perfume, White Diamonds, is a top seller, and her estate made even more gazillions from that!
Taylor's long-range stewardship of her "brand name" should teach young stars today a valuable lesson that could boost their annual income even after their popularity wanes. Other deceased luminaries who make money "beyond the grave" include Michael Jackson, Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Bob Marley, Peanuts comic strip creator Charles Schulz, and Albert Einstein.
On the local film scene, departed show biz stars who are missed to this day include, FPJ, Dolphy, Carmen Rosales, Tita Duran, Tita Muñoz, Rita Gomez, Katy dela Cruz—and Elvira Manahan.

The Knicks let the three balls fly against the Bucks. They shot 41 of their 101 attempts from deep, converting 17 of them (41.5%). J.R. Smith launched 17 of them himself -- Milwaukee shot 22 as a team. Fortunately for New York, Smith made them when it counted most at the end of regulation and in the first overtime. Anthony and Udrih combined to pour in nine of 14 3-pointers, none bigger than the pair they hit in double overtime.
The long ball almost cost the Knicks the win however, when Andrea Bargnani threw one up instead of waiting to get fouled with 12 seconds left in the first extra session. Bargnani immediately acknowledged his mistake, and his teammates did a good job of supporting him. Then they rallied together to pull out the win. Perhaps this will bring the team closer together.

Chivas USA youngster Juan Agudelo admits he would love to play for a club in Europe.
The 20-year old USA forward is currently training with Scottish champions Celtic where he would love to win a contract.
"This kind of move has been on my mind for as long as I can remember playing soccer," he told STV.
"Going and playing in Europe is what I would like to do. This is, right now, where the best football is being played. I would love to play here."
However, Chivas spokesman Rodrigo Ochoa made it clear that the Goats have no interest in selling Agudelo to the Hoops.
"For us, the club, the organisation, Juan Agudelo is just keeping fit training with Celtic and that's it," Ochoa told the SunSport.
"There are no plans for the club to take any kind of transfer. He's taking advantage of the vacation time that we have right now and he's training and keeping himself fit."

Each year at about this time, I see students, desperate for financial aid of any kind, begin to despair juuuust a bit. "This scholarship is due in two days… I can't put together a application/winning essay that quickly!" or something along those lines. Others complain that the deadlines have passed for many of the scholarships for which they might have applied. There is only really one solution for this and that is for you to begin searching for scholarships earlier in the year."
Share your thoughts and perhaps thousands of students will benefit from your unique insight on the subject!

Please, please, let's not start compairing a being who was presented physical evidence dating back generations, to the world's most famous fictional character
As Bathory pointed out, compairing the bible to eyewitness accounts of sasquatch is hardly a balanced approach...one is a collection or reports from people who believe was they saw, and the other is a biased source designed to control. With no physical evidence of back up its claims, the bible is nothing but a mythology.
The old testament is even acklowledged as a mythology by a majority of modern thinking christians I don't believe in Pixies, dragons, unicorns, god and the like...I believe in bigfoot because it is an actual biological possibility, and, unlike the existance of god, it's actually feasible in practice.
So please, if you're going to be so ignorant to call my a hypocryte for believing in bigfoot, I warn you to remember my belief in it is quite defensible, after a great deal of time and research...and there is far great evidence for its existance than there is for the object of any given religion, which for the most part, are so full of holes it's difficult to imagine why they're still in existance today.

PARI's LC Sprint & TREK S Featured in 'ER' Final Episode on NBC Thursday
"We are very pleased that NBC would use the final episode of 'ER' to once again highlight respiratory conditions and therapies. So many Americans suffer from a wide variety of respiratory illnesses and degenerative conditions that it makes sense that writers would use real-life examples and industry-leading nebulizers in their story lines," said
The LC Sprint is the next generation nebulizer that has been used to deliver aerosol therapies for asthma, COPD, and cystic fibrosis. Combined with PARI's TREK S, the LC Sprint delivers medication treatments averaging between 5 to 6 minutes.
The PARI LC Sprint features breath-enhancement, where a patient's unique breathing pattern controls and optimizes medication delivery to the lungs by means of two valves on the nebulizer. PARI's TREK S is a compact, portable compressor that is powered by a lithium ion battery or used with an AC adaptor.
