Adivasis including women are on a hunger strike under the banner of the ALRPC, and many meetings were held at the Collectrorate, he said adding that no serious action was taken so far on the promises given to them At the meetings convened by the District Collector, they were given promises to rehabilitate them in a time frame. It was at the last meeting, the District Collector announced to rehabilitate them before April 22. The meeting was also attended by the representatives of various political parties.
Though it was earlier informed them that they would be rehabilitated in Munnar area, later it was announced that land has been demarcated for their rehabilitation in Peerumade taluk. It was at the last meeting, they were given promise to provide land and a time frame was decided.
Mr Babu said that the agitation will be intensified from May 1 and they will start hunger strike in front of the assembly if the authorities fail in keeping the promise given to them. The Adivasis are now being threatened to withdraw from the hunger strike in front of the Collectorate, he said. The authorities should cancel all cases registered against them and the land earmarked for them should be allocated without any further delay, he said.

agreement for a loan of
plan and its additional credit needs until the end of 2012. The financing
program also includes the backing of US EX-IM Bank for additional loans
The EX-IM Bank backing has been approved by the United States Congress in
February this year.
The financing plan has been approved by ORL's Board of Directors for
ORL's general funding needs until the end of 2012 which include, first and

Amitim – Pension funds, Clal Insurance Company and Harel Insurance Company.
The hydrocracker which will be set up at the
expected investment of
and kerosene (jet fuel), is expected to be operational in early 2012. The
hydrocracker unit will allow, once operated, production of more distillates
with higher added value per barrel, and will increase the flexibility of the
refinery in its selection of raw materials and product mix, to suit changing
market conditions. Repayment of the principle of the loans will commence only
12 months after the hydrocracker begins its operations, which is sufficient

Bank employees owing allegiance to four Left-leaning unions today went on a strike protesting the proposed merger of the State Bank of Indore with parent State Bank of India (SBI), disrupting normal banking operations in the country, a top union official said.
AIBEA General Secretary C. H. Venkatachalam told PTI that employees under the banner of All India Bank Employees' Association (AIBEA) and All India Bank Officers' Association (AIBOA) are on a one-day strike.
Mr. Venkatachalam said there should be no consolidation in the public sector banks in the name of creating global size banks.
Many public and private sector banks have already informed customers that the normal functioning at bank's branches may get affected in view of the strike call.
Public Sector Undertaking (PSU) banks control about 70 per cent of the banking operations in the country.
IANS reports:
Around 450,000 bank employees of both public sector and private sector banks across the country went on a strike on Wednesday, bringing banking services to a standstill.
"We are striking keeping the merger issue of the State Bank of Indore with the State Bank of India in the front. But in general it is our policy to oppose merger and consolidation of public sector banks," Rajen Nagar, national president of one of the unions — All India Bank Employees' Association (AIBEA) told IANS.
AIBEA and All India Bank Officers' Association (AIBOA) had said that their members propose to go on strike on Dec. 16 against the merger and consolidation.
Twenty seven state-run banks and around a similar number of private sector banks are keeping their shutters down, he said.
Nagar added: "These mergers are not in national interest. It does not only amount to job loss, it also hampers banking services for small customers like SMEs (small and medium enterprises)."
"We want extension of public sector banks, not mergers," he said.

Bolt Prospects 2011-2012 Midterm RankingsSubmitted by pete on February 13, 2012 - 21:02
With the graduation of Brett Connolly from prospect status, it's finally time to release Bolt Prospects' 2011-2012 Midterm Rankings. While difficult for the Lightning at the NHL level, this season has proven to be incredibly exciting for the development of the team's prospects. The Lightning have never boasted such incredible depth in the system, and that depth extends to overage prospects like Trevor Smith, Pierre-Cedric Labrie, and J.T. Wyman, who have made positive contributions to the big club during injury recalls. The team should also be excited about the performance of AHL signees like Philip-Michael Devos and Cory Conacher, the latter of whom is a lock to earn an NHL entry-level contract from the Lightning very soon.
Bolt Prospects 2011-2012 Preliminary RankingsSubmitted by pete on October 16, 2011 - 19:07
Now that the season has begun, it's time to update our prospect rankings here on Bolt Prospects. Readers of the site know the drill, as we update our rankings three times during the season and add Supplemental Rankings shortly after the draft each year. But, for new readers, or for those who might've forgotten the rules, here's our legal disclaimer regarding prospect eligibility.
Bolt Prospects considers any prospect 24 years of age or older on opening night of the Lightning's season to be an overage prospect and ineligible for inclusion on the list. As a consequence, older prospects like Mattias Ritola, Blair Jones, and Johan Harju are no longer included on our list. The exception to the 24 year old rule is NCAA players, who shall remain eligible for the rankings so long as they remain in college. Bolt Prospects also has rules pertaining to a player's graduation from prospect status that also determines eligibility for the rankings. For skaters, any player who has played 41 or more NHL games in a single season or 82 or more career NHL games is ineligible for the list. As a consequence, players like James Wright and Dana Tyrell are ineligible for the list. For goaltenders, any player who receives 30 or more NHL decisions in a single season or 41 or more NHL decisions in a career is ineligible.
With all that in mind, here are Bolt Prospects 2011-2012 Preliminary Rankings:
Bolt Prospects 2010-2011 Supplemental RankingsSubmitted by pete on July 8, 2011 - 22:06
Now that the 2011 NHL Entry Draft is over, Bolt Prospects is issuing its 2011 Supplemental Rankings. The rankings add the 2011 draft picks, subtract prospects who did not receive qualifying offers from the club, and reflect some slight adjustments in the rankings based on changes in the depth chart. The remainder of this story includes the placement of the 2011 draft picks. For a full look at our Top-25 Rankings, please take a look at our Prospects page.
Bolts Announce Summer Prospects Camp RosterSubmitted by timothy on July 2, 2011 - 12:19
TAMPA BAY – The Tampa Bay Lightning announced the roster for their 2011 development camp today. The roster, which includes three former first round picks, consists of 17 forwards, nine defensemen and four goaltenders. The camp will be held Wednesday, July 6 though Wednesday, July 13 at the Brandon Ice Sports Forum in Brandon, FL. The camp is open to the public and the schedule will be released at a later date.
Highlights of the roster include the No. 6 overall pick in the 2010 draft, Brett Connolly, who recently signed an entry-level contract with the Lightning, as well as this summer's first-round selection, Vladislav Namestnikov. Former first-round pick Carter Ashton and highly-touted prospect Richard Panik are also expected to attend.
Of the attendees, only James Wright played a game in the NHL last season, while 10 players played at least one in the American Hockey League. The roster also includes 22 players drafted by the Lightning, three signed as free agents and five invitees.
Included in the roster are four players from the 2011 NHL Entry Draft, recently held at the Excel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota. Those players are Namestnikov, forwards Ondrej Palat and Matthew Peca, as well as goaltender Adam Wilcox.
The youngest player is Peca, at 18 years and two months, while the oldest is Jeff Dimmen at 25-years-old.
Free agent invitees include forwards Cory Conacher, Gabriel Desjardins, Philip-Michael Devos, Seth Griffith and blueliner Jeff Dimmen. Dimmen and Devos have AHL contracts in place with the Norfolk Admirals for the 2011-12 season.
Complete roster attached to this story.

Gear Review
good, not great.
Expensive but durable. Better than a plastic fantastic trowel from the dollar store. The handle can be very hard to close, but when it does - this thing packs down small. The end cap to get "inside" the handle is also really tough to open. Nice thought on the product, but how much can you expect out of a poop shovel?

Terrain looks too good, character texture on the 4th image looks very odd tho, and you use a lot of blur :P
Stone Rage™ is a Free-To-Play online third person multiplayer action game set within the Pleistocene and Eocene eras, featuring prehistoric tribalism, prehistoric landscapes and prehistoric animals. Players will take control of a single character of either a human class, neanderthal tribe or animal genus and wreak havoc in either survival, team objective or deathmatch game types. As players win games and progress through achievements, options in weapon layout, upgrades and personalized character customization will be unlock, giving a large array of choices to those who do not wish to completely conform to a single archetype!
Hello everyone and welcome to another Stone Rage update. I am Criff from Mountainwheel Games here to tell you all of the new happenings of the game, and try and bring everyone up to speed on some ground breaking new elements that have been brought into the game over the past few months. In recent happenings we are proud to announce that we have new in-game screenshots to show of the upcoming map Stone Canyon.

Hello everyone and welcome to another Stone Rage update. I am Criff from Mountainwheel Games here to tell you all of the new happenings of the game, and try and bring everyone up to speed on some ground breaking new elements that have been brought into the game over the past few months. In recent happenings we are proud to announce that we have new CryEngine3 SDK in-game screenshots to show of the upcoming map Stone Canyon. Stone Canyon is a medium/large map that has been painstakingly worked on by some of our developers here at Mountainwheel Games. This map has come a long way from its original form and has truly made its shape thanks to our level designer Salomo, with the use of environment assets made by our lead environment artist Christopher Guptill, and with extra help from our environment artist Ali Farsangi. With the near completion of this map ahead, we will wait to see more from them soon as we continue on molding the landscapes. We have also gained a new level designer named, Marco Catena. Marco Catena will be working on the "Beast arena" map which is sure to be a favorite for bigger creatures such as the Mammoth or Mastodon.
Also in recent happenings, there has been expanding's onto our animations department. We have our lead animator Christopher Slavik hard at work developing the many motions of the Gastornis bird. You may wonder exactly how many animations a single bird could have. Christopher developed more than thirty movement, idle, and combat animations to allow the players to get the full experience of playing this creature. Expect to see more from him in the near future, and also expect to see some upcoming animations from Jeffrey Simonetta. Jeffrey is working hard on developing the animations for the heck cattle, and soon to be working on many other creatures. And some of new animators are: Ryan Mohler, Josh Grissett, Stefan Iverson. Newest character/animal artist addition is Nick Miller who's currently working on a special support animal class for you guys, you'll love it.
Now we move on to the concept art department of our team, the 2D artists, consisting of Jesses (2D designer), Derek Parcell (Concept Artists), and Markus Lovadina (Lead concept artist). All of them have worked very hard to get out concepts and etchings to help pave the way to the latest characters, weaponry, and creatures that will be staring within Stone Rage.

We now go to our audio department which is led by Mael Vignaux, and our composition which is led by Mike Skalandunas. Both of them have been creating many different sounds, and songs that bring the game together and give it the perfect playing atmosphere that is sure to really bring the player even deeper into the lush environment, and the brutal fights.
I am now saddened to say that our lead coder Bleutn has left the team, but I am also happy, and honored to announce that we have promoted a new lead, Oliver Neumann. He is a true team player, helping out wherever he can, and getting the work done as quickly, and efficiently as possible. He is truly helping greatly to keep steady the foundation of Stone Rage. We will be updating you all more frequently on new, and up and coming events for Stone Rage, and we hope to hear your thoughts, ideas, and any messages you may have for us that will make your experience the best it can possibly be. "And as the earth dies beneath the white we say our goodbyes. With the fog of many dying breaths that lay ahead we make our way to newer ground, ready for the battle, ready for the end."
And a big credit to our Lead Rigging Artist Dilen Shah !!

Comcast DVR-any aftermarket boxes available?Do I have to rent the Comcast Scientific Atlanta DVR box, or can I purchase an aftermarket one to work with Comcast?
I would assume that I could buy my own instead or renting it every month-that is rediculous.....
Can anyone help me out? Thanks!
i would be very suspicious of people selling cable-company branded equipment.
When you buy more, you save more. And when you save more, you can buy more.
And when you buy more, you save more. It all starts when you BUY MORE.

If you decide to go with eBay, make sure you ask the seller for serial # and model and call Comcast to make sure that box is ok to activate before you buy it.
I believe Comcast are the owner of all their boxes (doesn't matter how/where you get it from, it belongs to them) and they prop. will ask for it back when you terminated the service. DirecTV did asked for all the HD boxes that I purchased from eBay when I left them.

Tivo has:
Netflix streaming
Amazon and Blockbuster movie rentals
The ability to download shows to your PC/Mobile (Zune, iPod, etc)
-Downloading to mobile devices requires Tivo Desktop Plus for $24.95
Stream video and audio and display photos from your PC
Season Pass automatically tracks changes in schedule, etc for your favorite shows.
Kidzone only allows your kids to see what you want them to.
Plus be wary of any of the Scientific Atlanta / Cisco or Motorola boxes you might find on Craig's List or eBay. Since you can't really go out and buy them unless you are a MSO, good chance they are un-returned or stolen. which probably means bricked.
All the previous posters are correct:
1) If someone is selling a box online, it is likely stolen and unusable. It's not possible for a customer to own their own video equipment.
2) If you are interested in eliminating the fee, a cable card would likely be your only route.
Cable cards were designed because of the monopoly created because a typical customer does not have the option to own their own digital boxes. Motorola and SA are the two biggest manufacturers of set tops. In order to break up that monopoly, the physical device (host) and security/authorization (cable card) pieces were split up, to allow the consumer to purchase their own hardware.
You could buy a Moxi, Comcast may want to check it out before you use to verify that it is compatible with their system.
http://moxi.com/us/home.html These things are expensive though.
You can also upgrade the hard drive on Tivo HD(involves some reading and opening the box, violating the warranty. You can get a refurb unit for cheap, about $200). I currently have a 1TB drive in it which holds about 150hrs HD content. Pretty sweet.
Don't forget to rep the people that help you.
System: i5 firstname.lastname@example.com; MSI P67; 2x4GB DDR1600; Asus 5850; Corsair HX520 PSU
I can't tell you how many times I've tried to fast forward through some commercials only to have the ffwd mechanism (for lack of a better term) become laggy and then just put me at the end of my program.

I just don't understand why you have to "rent" their equipment if you NEED it to get the HD channels. Sounds a little silly to me.....I haven't checked lately (wife pays the bill) but I think it's between $10-$15/month to RENT the Comcast box. It seems like a bit of a monopoly to me-oops I just realized that's what Comcast is-a monopoly...
You should be able to use other boxes to be able to get comcast services.
Kind of like subscribing for telephone service and having to use THEIR phone and being charged to rent it monthly. Silly. Does anyone else feel me here?

With boomers coming, hospice industry diversifies
Laurie Farmer of the Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association agrees. And she adds that hospice is all about providing individualized care, something that baby boomers likely will demand.
"The baby boom generation comes as very educated consumers, and so we are feeling that we have been meeting that challenge," she said.
At age 70, Liz Murphy, of Deerfield, N.H., is a few years older than the oldest baby boomers. But like many of the baby boomers served by the Concord hospice program, she did her homework before deciding several weeks ago to move into the program's hospice house.
Murphy, a longtime Statehouse lobbyist, was found several years ago to have an extremely rare cancer of the connective tissue that settled mainly in her bones but also has spread to her brain, liver and other organs. She started considering hospice after a spate of surgeries just weeks apart resulted in no improvements.
Murphy said she knew where the hospice house was, but beyond that, knew little about it before she started looking into it. But once she did, she made her decision quickly.
"I talked it through with my husband and my children and anybody else who I thought would have an interest in it, and I feel as though I got information from as many people as I needed. I came and looked at it, and I'm very happy with it," she said.
"It's been great. I love the place. I've been very fortunate that the people who are here are people who are happy to work with me, and are interested in working together with my family, my husband and me to give us the program we're interested in."

5 of my keys don't work sometimes, sometimes they are OK, sometimes only 2, depends
Ok. So back in May all of a sudden my Delete key stopped working well, I had to press it twice basically to get a response. I also noticed that my tab key and my space key didn't work either, as well as my right arrow and my up arrow.
All summer they worked fine, and now that school has started again they don't work well. Sometimes they don't work at all, sometimes space but not delete, sometimes they only work when I press twice, etc.
I brought this up in May and people said its keyboard failure and that I need to back everything up before I can't use my laptop. I disagreed, since if it was laptop failure it wouldn't be just 5 keys.
I was right and here I am many months later.
I crackedopen my(crap.there.goes.thespace.key.not.kidding 0) and every thing seemed ok. I closed it back up and now I am making this topic.
What could be causing my TAB, DELETE, SPACEBAR, RIGHT ARROW, TOP ARROW, to not work, sometimes. Sometimes it works perfect for days/weeks, and then all of a sudden works 50% or not work at all.Also.it.goes.from.one.minute.to.another.quite.randomly.Temperature.has.nothing.to.do.withit.I.am .quite.confused.
Booted in Linux and they don't work (so its hardware). Plugging in a keyboard and it works fine.
Can someone help me out a bit and tell me what it COULD be? I rather not drop a big wad of cash on a new keyboard.
I have a 1.83ghz 2006 White Macbook.

same problem...
I am recently having the exact same problem, only my keys that sometimes don't work are F7, 7, U, J, M, ; and ' . (They actually went out halfway through typing that). It's been a few months since you posted this thread, any news on what's going on here? My white macbook is just about 3.5 years old now... hope it's not dying on me...

I ordered new topcase for my white macbook and I had same problems, but I fixed it.
Problem is with keyboard connector. Ribbon connector, what comes from keyboard, to circuit board (beneath trackpad) was badly connected. You have to remove this grey plastic cover, then you see this connector.

IANAL, but I think Richard's point is the question of what the user has purchased if the EULA does not apply. The general view of 3D content is that, absent the EULA, the content is for personal use. It is the EULA that grants the user the right to sell renders made with the content; otherwise you would be selling a derivative work. As an analogy, if I purchase a copy of a movie, I do not have the right to sell prints of frames from that movie, or photoshopped prints of frames; I only have the right to view it. So is 3D Content considered an artwork, which the end user has the right to use privately but not commercially, or is it a tool akin to a paintbrush, which can be used to create items for sale? While software could be considered akin to a paintbrush or movie camera, as a tool, content seems to me to be more akin to a work of art. You can create your own content using software, just as you could create your own movie with a camera, and sell it if you wished, but creating a render using content made by others would be more like dubbing your own dialog into a movie you had purchased. You can use it for your personal enjoyment, and you could sell the original, but you could not sell derivative works created using it.
The movie thing partially a false analogy though, as selling prints of that frame is a direct copy, and thus clearly derivative work. The Photoshop item, on the other hand, might not qualify, depending on how much of the work is that image, and how much of it is original. Remember that derivative works are not an all or nothing item under the law, but rather taken as a case by case basis (Supreme Court, in Campbell v. Acuff-Rose Music). If it can be shown that the change is 'significant', then EULA or not, transformativness applies and it qualifies as a new work under the law.
It might seem peculiar (and it is) but under the law, using the example above, if taken as-is, it's art (maybe, some of them, such as Optitex tshirts, are so broadly generic that they would be questionable). If it's changed though from the original in some meaningful way, it becomes the paintbrush.
What exactly qualifies as 'meaningful' is a good question.
Edit:I'll add one more complication this causes: Sales records from the online store are no longer sure fire records that someone has or has not bought a product legally, since the private sale of a license, while perfectly legal now, does not provide a big trail of proof to follow, with the burden of proof being on the prosecutor or plaintiff.

2012 Who's Hot & Not
Week 2
Cirminiello -
Who's Hot ... Week 2
Who's Not ...
10. Houston
The Cougars miss head coach Kevin Sumlin and QB Case Keenum even more than anyone might have guessed. A year after winning 13 games, and flirting with a BCS bowl game, Houston has already lost more games than it did throughout all of 2011. In the Week 1 upset loss at the hands of Texas State, the offense was AWOL, resulting in the hasty departure of coordinator Mike Nesbitt. On Saturday, the Cougs cranked out almost 700 yards, yet it still wasn't enough in a 56-49 loss to Louisiana Tech. The school has already burned two home games without picking up a win, a troubling sign for the rest of the season.
9. Penn State PK Sam Ficken
Forget Silas Redd. Anthony Fera may have been the costliest departure for the Nittany Lions. Since taking over once Fera left for Texas, Ficken has been a disaster for the special teams unit. Saturday in Charlottesville, for instance. Penn State outplayed Virginia on the road, but the placekicker left 13 points on the table, hooking an extra point and missing 4-of-5 field goal attempt. His final whiff at the end of regulation ensured Penn State of a second straight loss, 17-16.
8. Colorado coach Jon Embree
Embree got a justifiable free pass as a rookie in 2011, taking over a dilapidated program from Dan Hawkins. However, the coach was supposed to pilot the Buffaloes in a northerly direction this year, even if they remained well on the outskirts of Pac-12 contention. Instead, Embree may already be putting himself and his staff in a precarious situation. Colorado is off to an unimaginably bad start, losing to rival Colorado State in Denver and FCS Sacramento State in Boulder on a last-second field goal. The Buffs expected to be 2-0. At 0-2, Embree could be headed toward probation if his kids fail to make a dramatic turnaround.
7. Pittsburgh
Save for a rash of injuries or a player revolt, it'd be hard to imagine the Paul Chryst era in Pittsburgh getting off to a worse start. Five days after falling to Youngstown State in a humiliating opener, the Panthers—and their head coach—appeared lost in a 34-10, nationally-televised loss Cincinnati. Facing a rebuilding Bearcats D, Pitt allowed six sacks of Tino Sunseri, and didn't break the goal line until there were just 34 seconds left on the clock. Life won't get any easier with this week's visit from Virginia Tech.
6. Auburn QB Kiehl Frazier
Frazier won't be the last hurler to struggle in the face of the Mississippi State secondary, but he looked particularly lost in Starkville on Saturday afternoon. The sophomore is even rawer than many assumed when he won the job in the offseason, completing less than half of his throws, and throwing four interceptions and just one touchdown pass in the first two games. Against the Bulldogs, he played frightened and tentative, turning the ball over five times. He's Auburn's guy for now, but if he continues to play scared and tentative, Gene Chizik may have no choice but to summon Clint Moseley from the bench.
5. Alabama in Pass Pro
Does the star-studded Crimson Tide O-line have a problem protecting the quarterback? 'Bama shockingly ranks 113th in the country in sacks allowed, yielding eight in the first two games. Western Kentucky, of all opponents, got to AJ McCarron six times over the weekend, including three sacks from speedy senior DE Quanterus Smith. The breakdowns against the Hilltoppers may wind up being a blip on the screen that gets rectified in practice. However, if 'Bama has ongoing problems on the edge, it's the kind of issue that could cost the team once SEC play begins.
4. Wisconsin on the Ground
In a stunning departure from recent history, the Badgers are having an unusually hard time getting off the ball in 2012. Despite opening the season against Northern Iowa and Oregon State—and having Montee Ball in the backfield—Wisconsin has rushed for just 203 yards, and is averaging 2.9 yards a carry. An inability to generate a push against the Beavers is the main reason that the Badgers are 1-1, unranked and a little lost through the first two weeks of the new campaign.
3. Miami
The Hurricanes suffered one of their worst losses in recent history, bowing meekly to Kansas State in Manhattan, 52-13. The outcome was a stark contrast to this time last year, when the game between the two programs went down to the final seconds. Miami was no match on Saturday, getting schooled on both sides of the ball by QB Collin Klein and the Wildcats. While the offense was in disarray, the defense was toothless and completely lost for a second consecutive weekend. The 'Canes are a mediocre football team, with a long way to go under Al Golden.
2. The Arkansas D
Long before QB Tyler Wilson left the game with concussion-like symptoms, the offense had staked the Hogs to what should have been a comfortable 28-7 lead versus Louisiana-Monroe. Turns out it wasn't enough. Arkansas repeatedly allowed the Warhawks to convert, including an inexcusable 6-of-7 times on fourth downs to squander the three-touchdown cushion. The then-No. 8 team was no match for QB Kolton Browning, who vexed the Razorbacks for 481 total yards and four touchdowns, including the game-winning scamper in overtime.
1. The Big Ten
The league that seems to begin every year with a chip on its shoulder may already be without a legitimate contender for a spot in the BCS National Championship Game … just two weeks in. Ohio State has looked great, but the Buckeyes are ineligible in 2012. This past weekend was a disaster for the conference. Wisconsin lost to a middling Oregon State team a week after escaping Northern Iowa. Iowa bowed to Iowa State a week after escaping Northern Illinois. Illinois was garroted by Arizona State. Penn State is 0-2, with a loss to a MAC opponent. Michigan nearly got picked off by Air Force in Ann Arbor. And Nebraska took it on the chin at UCLA. It's been a rough start for the Big Ten, no matter how the first two weekends are sliced.

Critical Review by Michael Coveney
SOURCE: A review of The Sisters Rosensweig, in The Observer, August 14, 1994, p. 11.
In the following review, Coveney offers a mixed assessment of a London production of The Sisters Rosensweig, but praises Wasserstein for her "clever mix of emotional comedy and old-fashioned Broadway wise-cracking."
Wendy Wasserstein's The Sisters Rosensweig is a well-wrought comedy about growing older without sex and learning to live with your family. Some folks around me were not sure about 'schtupping' but they soon caught on; we've all seen She Schtups to Conquer, after all, and that's how Sara Goode (Janet Suzman) proceeds with her fake furrier (Larry Lamb), 'the furrier who came to dinner.'
As an American comedy set in London, the play's jaundiced squint at Jewish displacement in middle-class life was always deliberate: the idea of withering roots and values is absorbed in a comfortable, creamy Holland Park apartment, enticingly well designed by Lez Brotherston. And Suzman's tense and throatily intoned Sara is easily the match of Jane Alexander's in New York; Sara, the twice-divorced European head of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, celebrates her 54th birthday in September 1991 and provides a gloriously irrelevant social flashpoint while Russia crumbles and Lithuania declares its independence.
Wasserstein's confection, with its nods towards Chekhov, Moss Hart and George S Kaufman, is a clever mix of emotional comedy and old-fashioned Broadway wisecracking. Lynda Bellingham is fine as the younger, journalist sister. But Maureen Lipman spoils a winning performance as the daffy sibling by coarse clowning. On Broadway, when Madeline Khan tried on her surprise gift of a pink Chanel suit, she was both touching and hilarious as she inquired, 'Do I look like Catherine Denoove?' Ms Lipman crashes around with a lampshade on her head and asks, without the slightest hope of a positive reply, 'Do I look like Audrey Hepburn?' Michael Blakemore's direction is otherwise impeccable.

The hosts had an early penalty appeal waved away when striker Rory Fallon went down following a challenge by John Guthrie before Crewe went ahead after 18 minutes.
Goalkeeper Paul Jones could only parry a low shot from Mathias Pogba and Uche Ikpeazu, on loan from Watford, had the easiest of tasks to steer the ball home from close range.
At the other end Ben Garratt denied Crawley an immediate equaliser by expertly tipping a goal-bound shot from Billy Clarke over the crossbar.
Garratt later showed alertness by coming out to thwart the on-rushing Billy Clarke on the edge of the area.
Crewe's leading scorer Chuks Aneke had a goal-bound shot saved by Jones shortly after the break when a Byron Moore cross was headed back by Pogba.
Garratt cleared confidently at the feet of Clarke before midfielder Mike Jones was narrowly off target for Crawley with a low shot which flashed wide.
The visitors lived dangerously as a deflected shot from Mark Connolly came back off a post and substitute Jamie Proctor then forced Garratt into another smart save.
The Red Devils pulled level after 69 minutes when Proctor let fly with an angled drive which flew into the top corner of the net.
But Inman struck 10 minutes from time to give Crewe only their second win in the last nine games by steering in a Moore pass.

A new league alignment for Kern County's high school sports teams is one step closer to reality after Wednesday's Central Section Board of Managers meeting in Porterville.
The Board of Managers heard the final proposal, which moves Garces into the Southwest Yosemite League and takes Independence out, and moved it along for a final vote in May with little discussion, section commissioner Jim Crichlow said.
"I expect it will pass easily," he said.
Independence would then join a yet-to-be-named league with East, Golden Valley, Ridgeview, Tehachapi and West. A third league would contain Foothill, Highland, Mira Monte, North and South.
The changes would take effect for the 2014-15 school year.
Also discussed at the meeting and moved on for final vote in May was a proposal to move all section volleyball championships to one location in time for next fall. The championship locale would rotate between north area (Fresno and Madera Counties) to central area (Tulare and Kings Counties) to south area (Kern County) every three years.
Crichlow said football could be headed toward one-site finals, too. A Fresno group led by businessman Bob Kayajanian is drafting a proposal that all football section championships be held at Bulldog Stadium in Fresno. Crichlow advised Kayajanian to iron out a few more details in the proposal and present it at the May meeting. The final vote could then take place next fall.

Liberty center and long snapper Cole Mazza was named to Cal Hi Sports' Football All-State third team, the only local to be honored on the team.
Mazza has verbally committed to play long snapper for two-time national champion Alabama.
The only Central Section player named to the first team was Clovis North quarterback Christian Rossi, who led the Broncos to the Division I section title, but several Kern County players were named to the website's various other all-state teams.
Garces offensive lineman Keoni Taylor and Ridgeview quarterback Kamari Cotton-Moya were named to the first-team All-State Medium Schools, and Wasco's Isaiah Sharp was first-team All-State Small Schools.
Two other Tigers, offensive lineman Joe Dominguez and linebacker Kris Aguilar, were named to the Small Schools second team, as were Bakersfield Christian linebacker Grant Bouma and Boron quarterback Austyn Fink.
Sharp and Bakersfield Christian running back Matt Smith were named to the All-State Sophomores second team.
Rehkopf racks 'em up
Bakersfield Christian sophomore Hannah Rehkopf ramped up her incredible girls soccer scoring binge this week, scoring 11 goals in two games against Kennedy and Delano.
Rehkopf had six of the Eagles' goals in a 7-0 victory over the Thunderbirds on Monday, and she added five more Wednesday in a 9-0 victory against Arvin.
She now has 45 goals in 19 games for the season. According to MaxPreps' database, that total ranks first in California and sixth in the nation among states that play soccer in the winter.
Stuebbe at Shafter
Shafter graduate and former Bakersfield College athletic director Jan Stuebbe will be at Friday's basketball game when Shafter hosts Bakersfield Christian to sign a book he recently wrote.
Garces alumni game
Garces softball is hosting an alumni game at 10 a.m. on Feb. 16 at the school's softball field.
All former Rams players are encouraged to participate. If interested, contact coach Mike D'Amato at (661) 319-6877.

Maher tries to keep it real, on stage and on HBO's 'Real Time'
"Real Time With Bill Maher"
When: 10 p.m. Friday, repeats throughout week
Where: HBO
If you watch "Real Time With Bill Maher" on HBO, you may have noticed something odd: the audience booing the host.
It happens almost every week now, usually after Maher says something critical of the president. Of course, six months ago this same audience would have cheered wildly had Maher ripped the then-occupant of the White House. Now, you'd swear from the reaction that he'd violated some taboo too weird even for pay cable.
Maher knows this. And he knows I know it. And he wants to make one thing perfectly clear.
"That" – the stand-up act – "is just an entirely different animal than the television show."
And he does it by telling (upon request) an Obama joke.
"Now, if I (told that joke) in my studio here at 'Real Time,' they would probably ooh and boo. But the stand-up audience doesn't. They don't have that politically correct stick up their (butt). They're really great about that, and they want to laugh."
It might just be the difference between getting a free ticket to sit in the Bob Barker Studio to watch Maher's comedy-talk show and dropping $40 in the expectation that the guy on stage will bust your gut every single minute.
"This is not an era where people are parting with their dollar easily, and that is on my mind from the moment I get up there," Maher says. "I start out each show by thanking people for coming out to see me in a recession and telling them 'I'd better be bleeping good!' "
When I last saw Maher performing live, it was in 1996 and he was still hosting "Politically Incorrect" on Comedy Central. When I mention this, Maher invokes the deity he doesn't believe in.
"Oh, God," he says.
Back then, his not compelling stock routine was similar to the shtick of a lot of comedians, with observations about relationships and parents. He knows this, and he knows I know this.
"Somewhere along the line there in the early part of this millennium, I think, I really turned a corner," he says. "I worked harder at it. So now, if people come to this show they'll laugh a lot. And they'll get a very comprehensive 90-minute to two-hour dissertation on the state of the world. It's really kind of a State of the Union speech."
To be sure, the kind of television show Maher does changed as well. He certainly does not miss the five-nights-a-week grind on ABC doing "Politically Incorrect." (The nervous Nellies at the network pulled the show in 2002, not long after a post-9/11 episode sparked a firestorm. Maher had dared to allow one of his guests, conservative author Dinesh D'Souza, to express the then-politically incorrect view that the 9/11 attackers were "warriors" rather than cowards. Maher not only tolerated that opinion, he also agreed with it.)
"When I started 'Politically Incorrect' I was in my mid-30s," Maher says. "I was just a much less serious person in fundamental ways. And the show was less serious. I mean, you could only go so deep in a half-hour show – which with commercials wound up being 23 minutes – where you had to share it with four guests, three of whom on any given night were semi-retarded. I mean, it was a lot of dumb celebrities."

The Gene Ontology Project provides structured controlled vocabularies for molecular biology that can be used for the functional annotation of genes and gene products. In a collaboration between the Gene Ontology (GO) Consortium and the muscle biology community, we have made large-scale additions to the GO biological process and cellular component ontologies. The main focus of this ontology development work concerns skeletal muscle, with specific consideration given to the processes of muscle contraction, plasticity, development, and regeneration, and to the sarcomere and membrane-delimited compartments. Our aims were to update the existing structure to reflect current knowledge, and to resolve, in an accommodating manner, the ambiguity in the language used by the community.
The updated muscle terminologies have been incorporated into the GO. There are now 159 new terms covering critical research areas, and 57 existing terms have been improved and reorganized to follow their usage in muscle literature.
The revised GO structure should improve the interpretation of data from high-throughput (e.g. microarray and proteomic) experiments in the area of muscle science and muscle disease. We actively encourage community feedback on, and gene product annotation with these new terms. Please visit the Muscle Community Annotation Wiki http://wiki.geneontology.org/index.php/Muscle_Biology webcite.

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2014 June 23 The Eugene H. Gardner Collection of US Coins Signature Auction - New York.
From the James Swan U.S. Type Collection
Elusive in All Grades
Variety: O-101a, R.5. The 1797 half dollar consists of two varieties, O-101 and O-102, differentiated by the alignment of the reverse wreath in relation to the peripheral lettering. The present example is the late die state of O-101, designated O-101a. This die state exhibits extensive reverse cracks, along with a heavy obverse crack from the rim through star 2 to the second lowest curl. As the 1797 O-101a is the only major die state of the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, it is an important selection for the variety collector.
Population Data (5/14): PCGS has certified five Mint State examples of this issue, and NGC has graded four Mint State pieces. This specimen is the only certified MS63.
Heritage Commentary: The two-year Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar design type, bearing the date 1796 or 1797, is one of the three keys to completing a collection of early U.S. type coins (the others are the 1796 No Stars and 1808 quarter eagles). The scant mintage of 3,918 pieces and survival of about 300 examples affirm the key status of the 1796-1797 half. Both dates are necessary to complete a date collection of early half dollars, and no type collection can be considered complete without the presence of a Draped Bust, Small Eagle half. It is a major challenge to locate an original specimen in any grade, let alone a coin in Mint State making the present MS63 offering a special coin indeed.

The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Pronunciation: /midˈwif(ə)rē/ /-ˈwīf(ə)rē/noun
Middle English: probably from the obsolete preposition mid 'with' + wife (in the archaic sense 'woman'), expressing the sense 'a woman who is with (the mother)'.
The original sense of midwife seems to have been 'a woman who is with the mother'. Mid- here is not connected to middle, but is an old word meaning 'with' that is related to Greek meta 'with', which appears in English words beginning meta-, such as metabolism (late 19th century), metaphorical (mid 16th century), and metaphysics (mid 16th century). 'A woman' (rather than 'a married woman') is the oldest sense of wife, still used in Scotland.

Palm's Treo 750 is one of two models offered with Windows Mobile – this one in particular using 6. Specs include a 2.5″ 240×240 touchscreen, 300MHz processor, miniSD support, 1.3MP camera with 2x zoom, 4-hour talk-time, GSM/UMTS support and more.
Palm's new Treo 750 handheld offers multiple refinements over the previous 700 model that make it a worthy successor to the original. Let's take a look at more of the Treo 750's features.
The Treo's keyboard itself is a full QWERTY with secondary functions attached to each key. Flanking the 5 way directional pad are six different buttons. At the top, there is a pair of hard keys that correspond to the touch screen's soft keys. Power is turned off and on via the red hang up button. This is a bit of a misleading button as it doesn't completely power the phone down but rather turns the phone capabilities of the 750 on and off by holding the button down briefly. If you tap it once however, the screen will go black, helping to conserve as much battery life as possible.
Turning the 750 back over once again, we can see that the battery takes up a significant amount of the real estate on the back. Under the battery rests the SIM card.
The stylus of the 750 isn't anything of wonderment, but is a solid feeling piece that should withstand as much abuse as you can put it through. Like we mentioned earlier, the stylus slides down inside the phone itself when not in use.
On the right hand side of the 750, we can see that Palm has abandoned the use of a full sized SD card in favor of its smaller brother, mini SD. If you look closely, just under the card slot on the left hand side, there is a hard reset button. It's nice that this is included and in a well protected but easily accessible area. To the right of the card slot is a standard iR port for those of you that might need this extra functionality.
On the bottom of the 750, there are ports for a PC syncing cable, power charger and a small headphone jack for those who want to fill your mini SD card with music. One thing I found nice was the firmness of the power connector. There were times that the phone fell of my desk and through it all, the power cable stayed put.
On the next page, we'll take a look at the Treo 750's software, and subject it to a battery of tests.

He does not flatly state that Sept. 11 would not have occurred during a Gore administration. But, he writes, "Whenever power is unchecked and unaccountable, it almost inevitably leads to mistakes and abuses. In the absence of rigorous accountability, incompetence flourishes."
Then, using a study from the Markle Foundation, Gore shows how better and quicker analysis -- not the increased data sought by the Bush administration -- would have led to other hijackers. Salem Alhazmi, then Mohammed Atta and Marwan al Shehhi. And so on.
But instead, Gore writes, incompetence rules the day and Bush has pushed for Orwellian powers a la "1984."
What might cause some to speculate that Gore isn't ruling out a third White House run (he also campaigned as a centrist "New Democrat" in 1988) is the cautious wording he uses about two claims against the administration, sensitive ones regarding Bush's religious views and whether or not the war in Iraq was a war for oil. Gore raises them, but even among his many incendiary charges, doesn't claim them as his own.
As for what now? Gore says the nation, indeed the world, is at a fork in the road. Gore calls for the United States to rejoin the international community and lead the war on crises involving global warming, water, terrorism and pandemics such as HIV/AIDS. He calls for a repeal of the Patriot Act, and for the Bush administration to disclose all of its interrogation policies. He wants more transparency in political TV commercials and an expediting of the shift from television toward the Internet as a method of communication.
Gore told ABC News Monday he's focused not on running for president but on solving the climate crisis, but "in order to solve the climate crisis, I'm convinced that we're going to have to address these cracks in the foundation of democracy, these basic problems with the way we're approaching decision-making."
After Random House published 200,000 copies of "Putting People First: How We Can All Change America" -- the soporific campaign tome purportedly written by then-Gov. Bill Clinton and then-Sen. Al Gore -- the ill-fated re-election campaign of then-President George H.W. Bush filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission. Republicans alleged that the book deal constituted an illegal corporate contribution to the Democratic ticket, which didn't directly profit financially from the book though the publicity certainly didn't hurt. How quaint that book must now seem to those Republicans.
