The ongoing protests and discussion on the right of Indian women to breathe freely, reminds me of several encounters with abused women working in homes. Ask your domestic help, or 'maids' as we commonly call them, and she will know a number of women who have faced sexual assaults at the 'workplace', but are not quite reassured by the legislation passed recently by the Lok Sabha to provide for protection of women at the workplace.
Sometimes, they don't quite face an attack that can be qualified as such, but is a violation of their sexual rights in ways that are too common on the street as well as in our homes. This area, which has been left grey for centuries, is actually an integral part of the discussion on the rights of women and the measure of a liberated society.
In this undefined space, laws help, but only when the society is receptive and sensitive. There is often a thin line between sexual intimidation and assault, and a woman on the streets or at work, usually puts up with what is socially accepted before taking on the perpetrator.
The domestic workers are a classic example of this phenomenon. They suffer sexual abuse at the hands of their employers but rarely speak out. One of them once told me how the owner of the house, when alone, would enter the bathroom when she was washing clothes and hold her by her shoulders to make a point. When I told her to stop working at that place and volunteered to tell him off, she said her family will wonder what the fuss was all about – after all, he wasn't exactly touching her at inappropriate places or assaulting her – and feared antagonising him. Eventually, she stopped telling me about him out of fear that I'd pressure her.
In another case, when the maid complained to the housing society secretary about the lecherous behaviour of one of her employers, the secretary scoffed and told her she was free to go to the police. Soon, she got stereotyped as a woman who complained too much and was kept at an arm's length by most households.
Domestic workers make up 30 per cent of the female workforce in the country. Leaving them out of the Minimum Wages Act – as most states do – is bad enough, but they find the lack of security in the place of work more galling.
Every woman, rich or poor, has had to put up with some degree of violation on our streets. If she's spared an outright assault, she is often subjected to that male gaze that can tear up her self-esteem in a flash and reduce her to a lava of helpless rage. Even when she does hit out, it does nothing to alleviate her nervousness the next time she steps out.
Applying any law to these indistinct zones is a tricky affair and demands a heightened sensibility that most of us are still to acquire. The new law would help, but as a society we need to crack this glass ceiling of indifference to our own kind.

NEWORLEANS- Nearly seven months after the incident, an Orleans Parish grand jury still has not made a decision on whether to indict a Marigny homeowner who shot an unarmed 14-year-old boy who was on his property.
Merritt Landry, a city employee, initially was arrested and booked on an attempted second-degree murder charge following the shooting in July 2013.
Landry told police the teen was standing by his car in the early morning hours when he allegedly felt threatened. He fired one shot and hit 14-year-old Marshall Coulter in the head. The shooting the left the teenager, who was seen by a neighbor on surveillance video climbing a fence to get into Landry's yard on Mandeville Street, with severe brain damage.
The grand jury is not finished with the case and their consideration of the case will extend into next week.

ANAHEIM -- David McNab was sitting at home one winter night in 2006, and he was dialing into Minnesota-Mankato's hockey game against Denver.
The unusual part is not that somebody in Yorba Linda was watching the Minnesota-Mankato vs. Denver game.
The unusual part is McNab being home on a night when somebody was playing hockey somewhere. McNab is the Ducks' assistant general manager and de facto scouting director. That means he spends at least part of most days bouncing through potholes on a rental-car bus.
Anyway, McNab was fascinated by a 6-foot-2 Mankato center named Ryan Carter. He watched him again when Mankato played Wisconsin. He was fascinated again. He called up George Gwozdecky, who is Denver's coach and McNab's old college roommate at Wisconsin.
"Is Ryan Carter that good?" McNab asked.
"He's that good against everybody," Gwozdecky said. "He might be the best player in our league."
So when Ryan Carter filled in so well for Samuel Pahlsson in the midst of the Ducks' checking line, or when Carter scored two goals on New Jersey's Martin Brodeur, or when Carter made nice little instinctive plays like he did against Dallas the other night, when he took two steps to the left and thus intercepted a clearing pass and fired a shot on Marty Turco. ...
Those things were only surprises to the world that lives the other side of the glass.
"He's big, he's physical, he can skate, he's got skills, he's smart," McNab said. "I mean, there isn't much else you're looking for."
But the Ducks still had to spot those things before anyone else, and McNab signed Carter, 24, after two years of college.
Carter joins Dustin Penner, Andy McDonald, Chris Kunitz, Curtis Glencross (now with Edmonton) and Ryan Shannon among non-drafted college players that McNab spotted and signed.
"We were motivated because we were afraid he would explode the next season and be one of the very best players in college hockey," McNab said.
"It's something we used to have success with, before the salary cap came, because you could spend a million or a couple of million on a guy that you really liked. Not every team believed in that sort of investment. But now, with the cap being tighter, the salaries for those players have gone down and more teams are getting involved. So it's harder now."
And why wasn't Carter drafted when he was 18?
"I wanted to play my senior year of high school hockey in Minnesota," Carter said. "That's what every Minnesota kid wants to do - play in the state tournament in St. Paul, then play for the University (of Minnesota) and then sign with the Wild."

Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park Lands Windfall In Donation of Historic Buildings, Memorabilia
It is true that they have no original artifacts from the building in 1898. However, nor did they have anything for the Mascot Saloon, yet they completely recreated EVERYTHING in the saloon to match the way it looked in 1910. The Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park has little devoted to the most famous character in the history of the city, and in fact has no buildings (to my knowledge) devoted, inside and out, to the 1898 era, like that of the Mascot display (1910). In my opinion, the best plan would be to restore the Parlor to the way it looked when Soapy owned it, and place the Rapuzzi collection in any other building. As I have said before, people write me every year expressing their disappointment in not being able to go inside "Soapy's saloon." I am not sure of the Park's exact plans but I am sure many Soapy fans will be somewhat disappointed that the building represents anything other than Soapy Smith.
I have been inside the Parlor when Rapuzzi owned it, and then when Brown had it. I guess the most important thing is that it is still standing. It was beginning to lean to one side so thank goodness Brown finally sold it. I have actually made offers to buy the Parlor in the late 80s and 90s from her, and she once told me that she wanted enough from a sale "to sit in a rocker for the rest of her life." Glad it did not go the way of the Pullen Hotel. It will take close to a decade to complete the project and if I'm still around I'll have to drag myself up there for the opening day.
Watch my sites below for the coming biography! Did you know Soapy was murdered? That Frank Reid did not kill him? Got to love history.

A Tough Week for Hikers and Mule Riders at Grand Canyon National Park
In 1998, me,the wife and 2 sons, ages 16 and 13, made the day trip on the mules to Plateau Point. The 13 yr old was freaking out on the way down but he made it. Although we felt safe on the mules, it did cause some anxious moments, as it should have.
On the way down right before one of those 180 switch backs, my mule stumbled, went down to his knees, and then back up. It bout gave me the Big One, but we all made it and had a wonderful time. We still have our certificates that shows we made it down on the mules.
11 years later we still talk about the trip. Unbelieveable.

It's my understanding the park has almost no original "stuff" from the building as it was in the gold rush when it was Soapy's, but that they have most of the stuff from the Itjen era, including animatronics(!!), so they're replicating the era that they have the actual artifacts for.
Floods Sweeping Gateways to Yukon-Charley Rivers National Preserve
There is some amazing commentary on this flood on CBC's 'As It Happens,' which is the Canadian Broadcast Company's show out of Saskatechwan, that aired last night (MAY 6). It was a devastating description, with an interview with Andy Bassich, about a rescue. He says no one living has ever seen a break-up and flooding like this. Calls it a "once in a millennium flood" with a huge snowpack and now, unusually warm weather. He is shaken.

Stephanie, although I understand that Itjen, Pullen, and perhaps even Rapuzzi are important to Skagway, their stories can be told in any building in Skagway, however, Jeff Smith's Parlor is uniquely Soapy. His story belongs in his old saloon.

Ill-Advised Leap from a Bluff Leads to a Challenging Rescue at Buffalo National River
Mike -
Thanks for sharing some details on the incident - and for your part in getting help en route to the correct location much sooner than would have been possible if you hadn't been there. The fact that you knew enough about the area to identify the location for the emergency responders made a big difference.
Ill-Advised Leap from a Bluff Leads to a Challenging Rescue at Buffalo National River
I just found this good article and felt impelled to comment. Please forgive the introductory dialogue, but it helps explain a 180 degree perspective on this terrible accident. I happened to be in those woods that night and provided 911 the location information they were seeking. I have copied here a message I sent to a close friend:
We had fun sort of. The trip was full of "challenges". We got a late start Friday, but got to the trail head in time to be on schedule by Sunday. This means we still had plenty of time to hike 10.8 miles by Sunday, camping anywhere each night that looked good to us.
The plan was to drop off both mules and all packs (people backpacks and mule packs) at the starting point, then 3 out of 7 of us took the two vehicles to the end point to drop off one truck and horse trailer at the end, returning in the other truck to the starting point. By road, the end point was only 5.3 miles from the starting point. But that 5.3 mile road had a horribly wet, muddy, steep hairpin turn going downhill toward the end point. We got the vehicles to the endpoint, but had to drive an hour on other roads back to the starting point because the 5.3 mile road was not passable going uphill, even with 4 wheel drive.
So, we hit the trail much later than expected. We camped about 1 mile down the trail and finished dinner about 11pm. Right after that someone started yelling at us from out in the woods. After some very hesitant yelling dialogue, we found that it was a young man (early 20's) alone with a prosthetic leg, totally lost. He didn't have a map and didn't even know what river and park he was in or near. He was very fear stricken. He had been with 8 other people way down the mountain from where we were at some water falls when one of his friends fell 70 feet out of a tree. The other 7 people were still with the victim, with no cell service down there. After some discussion, we figured out they were at the Hemmed-In Hollow Falls. There was cell service at our location and he called 911 and I gave him all the information on his current location and the location of his friends. Then, Doyle and I walked him up to a trail junction and showed him which way to go to get back to the trail head where he and friends had parked and where the emergency services were going. Soon after, a large helicopter made two passes over Hemmed-In Hollow with a bright slight shining down into the woods, below us down the mountain. We saw no more activity. I don't know what time it was by then.
At about 4am, I woke up and for some reason realized I didn't remember locking my truck at the trail head. I checked and couldn't find my keys. I woke up my 16 year old son who was in a one-man tent and asked him to go back to the trail head with me to check on the truck. So, we hiked the mile back up to the truck and the parking lot was full of emergency vehicles – police cars, park ranger vehicles, EMT's, volunteers. Someone met us as we came out of the woods. There were 21 men down at Hemmed-In Hollow and they had the victim "packaged" and ready for evacuation. They were taking him to Henderson House down by the river for pickup by helicopter after day break. Bringing the victim back up hill, total of 3.7 miles of trail would have been nearly impossible because some parts are difficult when carrying nothing.
Oh, we did find my truck unlocked with the keys in the ignition!
We slept until 9am Saturday, a breakfast of pancakes and sausage, packed up, and headed out a little after noon. We had already made plans to shorten the overall hike from 10.8 miles to about 8 miles by using a different trail toward the end. The mules did great! We had an older one that is very calm and a young one off the farm for the first time, but she is typically very sweet and calm and well rehearsed with the packs. She did great until we got on a half mile dirt road to connect from one trail to another. 8-10 loud trail bikes came along. When they saw us, they stopped long enough for Doyle to lead the young mule off the road and tie her to a tree. All but one of the bikes passed slowly, but one guy couldn't get his bike restarted at first. When he finally got it started, it revved WAY up. Foxy, the older mule I had, jumped a little, but relaxed. The young mule Doyle had tied to the tree jumped about a foot into the air when the engine revved, but was OK and very scared. After the traffic was gone, Doyle untied her and as he started to return to the road, they both got tangled in a vine and Doyle tripped. The mule panicked and took off in a dead run down the road toward myself and Foxy. I lead Foxy right in front of her and she came to a screeching halt and let me take her lead rope. She was fine after that, but nervous.
We had plans to camp that night on the last trail leading to our end point. When we got to that trail, it was marked with a "no camping" sign. So, since it was almost dark, we got on the road and hiked straight to the endpoint. By the time we did the hour drive back to the starting point to get my truck, then back to the endpoint to pick up the rest of the guys and packs, then drove home, we got to my house at 1am and Doyle got home with the mules about 2am. We ended up hiking 7 miles (two of us had 9 miles in).
Sunday morning, we were all glad we weren't picking up a wet camp in that freezing wind!
Most of us had a good time. A few had very sore feet or wet feet because the trails were holding a lot of water from recent rains and were very muddy. Doyle and I were very proud of the mules performance.
We will plan things differently and more thoroughly next time!
National Park Quiz 53: Castles
As a National Park Service buff, I enjoyed your Castle quiz. I just wanted to say that the Governors Island Preservation and Education Corporation (GIPEC) owns 150 acres of the 172 acre Governors Island. The remaining acerage is administered by the National Park Service, this includes Fort Jay and Castle Williams. Castle Williams and Fort Jay are not managed by GIPEC at all, yet the National Park Service and GIPEC are both land owners on Governors Island and work together for the island's future.

Mammoth Cave National Park Tours Not Affected By White-Nose Syndrome
The U. S. Forest Service has recently taken action as well.
On April 24, 2009, the U.S. Forest Service, Eastern Region Deputy Regional Forester signed an emergency closure order for all caves and mines on NFS lands in the Eastern Region in response to white nose syndrome.
The USFS Eastern Region covers: Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.
Forest Service officials are very concerned about the spread of White-nose Syndrome, a malady of unknown origin that has led to the death of nearly 500,000 bats in the New England and Mid-Atlantic States. There is evidence to suggest that human visitors to infected caves can inadvertently transfer White-nose Syndrome to clean caves and mines. To help slow the spread of White-nose Syndrome to other areas of the United States, the Forest Service has joined with other agencies and caving organizations to temporarily close caves and mines on National Forests in the Eastern and Southern Regions.
The USFS Southern Region website is currently being overhauled and is not current, so I couldn't verify the above information that the emergency closure order also applies to caves on USFS land in that area. The USFS Southern Region encompasses 13 States—from Virginia to Florida and Oklahoma – as well as Puerto Rico.
A key question is how effective these closures will be, since enforcement relies to a large extent on voluntary compliance, but all officials can do is try.

Billing For Search and Rescue Missions -- Yes, or No?
Jim.hiker great observation on who is really getting rescued. Before we launch into Human Error, Gross or Reckless Negligence or Intentional Rule Violator decisions the National Park Service needs to start treating our visitors like adults. When we accept responsibility for creating the nuisance in the first place and mitigate it, post appropriate warnings and honestly relay what the ramifications are if you choose to disregard the warnings we might see some folks make the right decision in the first place. Our visiting public is smarter than we give them credit for. When you are drawn like a moth to the flame towards the lava spewing into the ocean to get a glimpse of Pele you pass signs that tell you in no uncertain terms what your fate will be if you play with lava. I think most adults can figure that out. Nowhere on that hike do we accurately post the ramifications for walking on unstable terrain for 2 miles in flip flops, sandals, motorcycle boots and high heels. These unsuspecting visitors embark on the journey only to meet their fate of a serious knee or ankle injury that keeps them from their original destination. Human Error, Gross or Reckless Negligence or Intentional Rule Violator? If we spent the time and energy at this level we would decrease our SAR work load significantly. I'm all for holding people accountable for their actions, it's a tool we have and use. Clearly it's not the answer to this significant fiscal dilemma. I'm not ready to charge the public (honest error) for a rescue if we've not done our due diligence and as you've pointed out this is where we spend the majority of our time and energy.

Woman Dies in Fall From Angel's Landing
I climbed AL last week. The entire park was amazingly beautiful. The views from AL were spectacular but they were from many other places as well. Without a doubt, there is adrenalin climbing AL. There are a few narrow places where extra caution is required but caution is recommended on pretty much the entire trail - an accidental loss of balance or trip, even by the most experienced and prepared people, can result in an undesirable fate.
I disagree with any suggestion that people who fall are necessarily acting foolishly - when coming down AL in several sections, I was mentally focussed, had proper hiking boots, not carrying too much, and all that was needed was for me to accidentally trip or lose my balance and I could have had an undesirable ending. Accidents happen to the most experienced and prepared.
Although all 5 non-suspicious deaths off AL are tragic, I'm surprised there haven't been more since the park was established - that's over many decades. I think the warnings were clear. Leave these places open. Every time we hop in a vehicle or cross a street, we're put in danger but I don't see anyone saying we should ban automobiles. I think the place should be closed in icy/snowy conditions and perhaps at night. I'm not sure about kids - in groups, it's not a good idea - too much peer pressure. Although kids tend to have more physical stamina than adults, they are also less conscious of danger and generally less responsible....and often act more foolishly when in groups. I wouldn't bring my young kid up there, but that's me. Carrying a young child in a pack up there is plain stupid.
I'd be more hesitant going up there in heavy tourist season. There are some sections where I'd want to be the only person going through them. I'm sure in summer there are far more people going up and down on many sections at the same time - I wouldn't want that. It wasn't bad when I was there.
Enjoy the place. It's amazing. Oh, if you notice any loose post or a problem with the chain, please report it to the park officials.

LAKE FOREST, Joan Kroll: Kudos for cleverness, columnist Mark Landsbaum, but not so
|MCT illustration
much for logic, let alone science ["Global warming and corruption of science," Opinion, Sept. 7]: First, religion is an organized collection of beliefs, cultural systems and worldviews that relate humanity to the supernatural and to spirituality. By what stretch is this equated to science? To take a statement from someone, albeit a scientist, saying that something is becoming a religion doesn't seem like a legitimate preface to your argument.
Then, to establish C. S. Lewis' references to the Nazi's destructive corruption of science as being comparable to the scientific warnings about climate change actually being destructive seems at best incongruous.
Then we come to President Dwight Eisenhower and "the growing power of the military-industrial complex." Perhaps the government was investing too much into that "complex," just as it now supports the oil-and-coal industries, but how does that condemn advocates of climate change? Further, the reference to public policy becoming captive of a scientific elite is a little confusing. Could this be a reference to "fracking"?
Now, when it comes down to science itself, there seems to be plenty of evidence for our own eyes. The ice shelves are melting at a rate not hereto seen. The oceans are rising and weather is more devastating. Just ask New Yorkers and others after Hurricane Sandy; Mid-America, after the record tornadoes, and the rest of the world after the freaky weather of the last few years. And these are only a few examples that we all can bear witness to here and abroad.
Yes, there's plenty of testing science can do, but what does logic truly dictate?
An eco-activist religion
FULLERTON, Ken Cowans: As one with a successful career in heat transfer, I can only say, Amen. Mark Landsbaum says that meaning in life for some people comes from "the belief that they are saving the planet by paying attention to their carbon footprint." This expresses the popularity of the "religion" of global warming.
However, cutting down the carbon footprint will only delay the advent of Armageddon if CO2 is the culprit.
The "religion" will not fix the problem, only retard its progress. Thus, there will be an extended period for added civil servants to oversee cap-and-trade and the like. All bow down to the religion.
It is easy to show that the millions of miles of U.S. pavement and other pavement elsewhere transfers sun's heat to the air. This, in turn, allows a larger amount of water vapor (the major greenhouse gas) in the atmosphere. These calculations are, however, heretical to the religion.
I congratulate Mark Landsbaum for clearly stating the difference between science and activism ["Global warming and corruption of science," Opinion, Sept. 7]. Too often studies and calculations are made to prove a point and then used to sway public opinion or public policy, which is backward.

No. 24/22 Memphis Upsets No. 12/8 Louisville on the Road
Jan. 9, 2014
Box Score | Notes | Photo Gallery
LOUISVILLE, Ky. - A 7-0 run by the No. 24/22 University of Memphis men's basketball team (11-3, 2-1 American) in the final 1:24 lifted the Tigers to a 73-67 win over No. 12/8 Louisville (13-3, 2-1 American) on Thursday night at the KFC Yum! Center. The win over the Cardinals was the first for Memphis since the 2004-05 season when the Tigers won 85-68.
All five Memphis starters reached double figures with Shaq Goodwin and Joe Jackson leading the Tigers with 15 points apiece. Goodwin added eight boards while Jackson dished out six assists. Geron Johnson posted his second career double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds. Chris Crawford totaled 12 points on 3-of-3 shooting from behind the arc, while Austin Nichols also reached double digits with 10 points and seven boards.
Louisville was led by Luke Hancock, who had 20 points, while Russ Smith (19) and Montrezl Harrell (14) also added double figures.
With Louisville holding a 67-66 lead, two free throws from Johnson put Memphis up for good with 1:24 left. After a miss from Smith, Jackson extended the Tigers' lead to 70-67 with 39 ticks on the clock.
A missed three from Hancock would force Louisville to foul Jackson, who made one-of-two from the line for a 71-67 game with 18 seconds to play. The Cardinals would not be able to capitalize in the final seconds as Memphis took the 73-67 win.
Memphis never trailed during the first half as the Tigers jumped out to a 9-4 lead through the first minutes of play. The Tigers increased their lead to 18-12 at the 9:26 mark after two free throws from Michael Dixon Jr., but the Cardinals stayed close thanks to Hancock, who totaled 14 first half points to lead Louisville.
With Memphis holding a 23-18 advantage following a Nichols jumper, Hancock scored five-straight points to knot it up for the first time during the game with 6:43 to go.
Crawford began a 7-0 run for Memphis with a three-pointer before baskets from Goodwin and Jackson to extend the Tigers' lead to 32-25 with less than four minutes left in the half.
The Cardinals answered with an 8-2 spurt over the next minute and a half with treys from Smith and Terry Rozier to pull within one at 34-33. A jumper from Dixon Jr. gave the Tigers a 36-33 lead at the half.
Louisville began the second half on a 10-3 run to take a 43-39 advantage six minutes out of the break. Memphis tied the game with back-to-back buckets from Jackson before a three from Johnson put the Tigers back on top, 48-45, with 10:50 remaining.
The Cardinals regained the lead after a three-pointer from Smith to go up by two before two free throws from the charity stripe by Hancock pushed the Louisville lead back to four with 7:40 to play.
Trailing by six with five and a half minutes to go, the Tigers began to cut down their deficit with a 9-3 run capped off by a three-point play from Johnson to tie the game at 64-all with 3:13 to play. The Tigers biggest deficit would be just one point in the final three minutes on their way to a 73-67 victory.
Memphis continues its road swing Saturday when the Tigers face Temple in Philadelphia at 2 p.m. (CT). The game will be televised on ESPN2.

The lemons are really nice, you should put some of your own fruit together and give them acrylics to some more work.

Renuka Sayola is not quite sure how to fill-up the plethora of forms. While her hands betray a sense of uncertainty, her eyes are all focussed and reflect her resolve to fight for a cause in which she believes in. The house maid says she is fed up with empty promises from political parties and has decided to contest as an independent from Musheerabad assembly constituency.
"Domestic helps in Hyderabad are the worst sufferers but nobody bothers to protect their basic rights. I may not win or make an impact in these elections, but I want my voice to be heard. I thought this is the best platform," she says, while filling up the nomination papers on Wednesday.
Given her financial status and limited means, it was not an easy decision to take the plunge. "Everyday, I come across horror stories of domestic helps. They are made scapegoats, ill treated, beaten up badly and even sexually harassed by employees. On most occasions, I am helpless because local politicians and corporators do not bother to help," she says.
During nights, Renuka's husband S. Yadaiah works as a security guard and in the day, takes care of the couple's two young daughters, while she works in the nearby apartments and independent houses. "It's really hard to raise a deposit of Rs. 10,000 for filing papers. We are taking donations from members of our own ilk to raise some funds for the campaign," she says.
Despite a shoe string budget, Renuka says that housemaids and their families in and around Musheerabad area understand her fight. "We don't have health insurance, maternity leave and social security and we struggle to send our children to English medium schools. I want to raise these issues during the campaign," she says.
Being a member of AP State Domestic Workers Union definitely helps. "Our association members have volunteered their precious time and money for the cause and we will definitely make an impact," she exudes confidence.

LISLE, Ill. (March 18, 2014) – Art and science come together at The Morton Arboretum every day, as experts conduct tree research surrounded by the beautiful 1,700-acre landscape of trees. For more than 90 years, art and science together have influenced the Arboretum's plant collections, education and research programs, and the way people experience the Arboretum – through mind, body, heart, and soul.
On May 10, The Morton Arboretum will host its premier annual fundraising event, with this year's theme of Art & Science. Taking place on the Arboretum's scenic grounds, the event will be an elegant evening supporting the institution's tree-focused mission to create a greener, healthier, and more beautiful world.
"The Arboretum's tree collections are beautiful, but it takes research scientists, horticulturists, and groundskeepers who use science daily to make the Arboretum a place of quality and enjoyment," 2014 Dinner Party Chair Valencia Ray said. "Join us for a fun night out and chance to learn more about the importance of keeping the Arboretum's splendor, beauty, and purpose alive."
The Art & Science Dinner Party will start at 6 p.m. with cocktails outdoors in Arbor Court, followed by a gourmet dinner in the Visitor Center, and concluding with live jazz music. The 2014 drawing will feature a catered dinner for 10 at the Arboretum, tickets to a Chicago Symphony Orchestra outdoor concert at the Arboretum in June, a majestic tree at the Arboretum designated in tribute to someone of the winner's choice, and more.
Tickets are $375, and tables start at $5,000. For more information or to purchase tickets, contact The Morton Arboretum Development Office at 630-725-2027.
The 2014 Dinner Party Committee is chaired by Valencia Ray and Darrell Jackson of Naperville. Corporate Sponsorship Chairs are Christina Immelman of Lisle and Joe Weidenbach of Naperville. Committee members include Mary Ann Anderson (Lisle), Anna Ball (Glen Ellyn), Sandy Becky (Wheaton), Ann Grube (Hinsdale), Mirja Haffner (Chicago), Amy Louis (Hinsdale), Toni Mueller (Glen Ellyn), Sherry Reum (Wayne), Catherine Slark (Burr Ridge) and Amy Weidenbach (Naperville).

Reminiscences by Laila Muraleedharan, a student of the first batch of All Saints' College, which is celebrating its golden jubilee
The year 1964 was special because three new colleges were born in the capital city and its outskirts – All Saints' College, St Xavier's College and SN College, Chempazhanthy. I had finished my class ten then from Holy Angels' Convent and we girls, especially those who were good in studies, were encouraged to join All Saints' when it started functioning on our school campus on July 6.
I was the first one in the family to get a first class in the class ten exam and expectations were high when I joined All Saints for the pre-degree course.
Being the first batch came with some advantages as well. We had the opportunity to place a few requests before our teachers! Our requests were – no uniforms; encouragement for sports; good magazines and books to read. The teachers accepted all our demands.
I took the first group, which had Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. I still remember that my roll number was 18. My ambition was to do something related to Physics, like obtaining a doctorate, perhaps inspired by a science exhibition I saw at University College while in class eight.
Margaret P. Paulose was our Principal and vice-principal was Sister Mary Alice. If I'm not mistaken, there were around 60 students in my class. Of course, we didn't have to wear uniforms and we all came in sari or skirt and blouse. In fact, a majority of the girls wore skirt and blouse.
But when there was assembly, we had to follow a dress code. Those who wore saris, had to wear white ones. The colour of the blouse varied, depending on the subjects we had chosen. Those who had taken the first group had to wear bottle green-coloured blouse and those in the second group had to wear red-coloured blouse. Students in the other two groups had to wear Ramar blue or yellow coloured-blouse.
There was little excitement of being a college student, since we were on the same campus where we had been school students. I was a student of Holy Angels' since class six. So, there was nothing new or exciting in terms of the ambience. Also, initially it was quite difficult for me to follow the textbooks in English because I had studied in the Malayalam medium at school.
Wonderful teachers
But then, we had a wonderful team of teachers. Math was my favourite subject and it was taught by Varghese sir, who had come from Warrangal. Parvathy teacher, who was with Government College for Women, taught us chemistry. Meenakshy teacher, Sister Alice, Sister Amata, Sthanu Bai (who had a triple MA)… I remember all of them. In those days, teachers who were married were not employed by the management.
Sports was given importance and we had two physical education teachers – Vijayalakshmi and Cicilyamma. The campus was small, but we did make use of the available facilities to play badminton, basketball and other games. However, other than college day celebrations, we hardly had any event or programme on the lines of inter-collegiate contests.
There was a great deal of importance on discipline, but the management was not unnecessarily strict. Our teachers were very friendly with us. They were experts in the subject and taught us well.
But at the end of our studies, some of the students really got a shock. During the final year examination, the Math paper was so tough that many students failed! The very same students got high marks in other subjects. It was disturbing for our teachers, Varghese also.
By the time the college was shifted to the present campus in 1967, all of us had passed out. I haven't been to the present campus. I feel proud that the college is all set to celebrate its golden jubilee and I am a part of its glorious history.
And it is from this girls' only campus that I entered the College of Engineering Trivandrum, where I opted for electrical engineering. My first experience of studying in a co-ed college became all the more interesting because in the first year there were only two girls.
The next year, I was the only one studying with 27 other boys!
Thus I've been able to live two entirely different phases as a student.

Spam Act 2003
|Spam Act 2003
|Enacted by
|Parliament of Australia
|Date enacted
|12 December 2003
|Date assented to
|12 December 2003
|Date commenced
|12 December 2003
|Related legislation
|Telecommunications Act 1997
The Spam Act 2003 was passed in 2003 as federal legislation by the Parliament of the Commonwealth of Australia. The first portions of the act came into effect on 12 December 2003, the day the act received Royal Assent, with all remaining sections of the act coming into force on 10 April 2004.
Its purpose is to set up a scheme for the regulation of commercial e-mail and other types of commercial electronic messages. It restricts spam, especially e-mail spam and some types of phone spam, as well as e-mail address harvesting, however there are broad exemptions. It is enforced by the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA).
The key points of the act provide that:
- Unsolicited commercial electronic messages must not be sent unless it is a designated commercial electronic message defined at Schedule 1 of the act.
- Commercial electronic messages must include information about the individual or organisation who authorised the sending of the message.
- Commercial electronic messages must contain a functional unsubscribe facility.
- Address‑harvesting software must not be supplied, acquired or used.
- An electronic address list produced using address‑harvesting software must not be supplied, acquired or used.
- The main remedies for breaches of this Act are civil penalties and injunctions.
Significant Cases[edit]
Australian Communications Authority v Clarity1 Pty Ltd ABN 60 106 529 604 & Anor[edit]
- Case Information at the Federal Court of Australia (File WAD155/2005)
- Copy of Decision at the Australasian Legal Information Institute
This case has potentially created some significant case law which may aid future actions under the act. In his ruling on the case, Hon Justice Robert Nicholson AO looked at the key defence of the respondent in the matter, being retrospective application of provisions under the act relating to the acquisition and use of harvested address lists. His ruling in the matter noted specifically that lists gathered or acquired prior to the act coming into force are still subject to the legislation. It also clearly struck down the respondent's defence that he had obtained consent to use the gathered addresses for the defined purpose, and also noted a lack of compliance with the provisions of the act requiring the provision of a functional unsubscribe facility.
The Australian Communications Authority is now called the Australian Communications and Media Authority.

The rupee tumbled 77 paise to an almost two-month low of 63.24 against the dollar on Monday as the trade deficit widened from a month ago and the US currency strengthened after encouraging jobs data renewed fears of stimulus tapering.
Sustained capital inflows could not stem the rupee's decline, a forex dealer said. It fell for the fourth straight day to end at the lowest level since 63.38 on September 18.
At the interbank foreign exchange market, the rupee opened lower at 63 a dollar from the previous close of 62.47 and recovered to a high of 62.93. However, it dropped to a low of 63.44 amid heavy dollar demand from importers, mainly oil refiners, and weak equities.
The rupee closed at 63.24, a fall of 77 paise or 1.23 per cent. In four sessions, it has slumped 162 paise.
"Friday's upbeat NFP (non-farm payrolls) report from the US...led to further strength in the US dollar, thereby making the rupee to depreciate against the dollar," said Abhishek Goenka, CEO of India Forex Advisors.
The 30-share Sensex dropped 175.19 points. Overseas investors bought a net Rs. 412.03 crore of shares on Friday, according to provisional data with the stock exchanges.
India's gold and silver imports increased to $1.3 billion in October from $0.8 billion in September even as exports grew at the fastest rate since September 2011. The trade deficit widened to $10.5 billion from $6.76 billion in September.

Speaking with FoodNavigator, John Brewer professor of sport and sports science at the University of Bedford, UK, said that sweeteners play a vital role in creating the perfect balance between taste, fuel and hydration in a sports drink.
"Sweeteners are an ideal way or maintaining the taste, maintaining the science in the formulation, but at the same time not increasing the calories of the drink which – which could otherwise result in reducing the weight loss benefits of exercise," explained Brewer.
Prof. Brewer will be speaking in depth on the role of sweeteners in sports drinks formulation at the upcoming International Sweeteners Association conference in Brussels. For more information about the coming conference, please click here .
