Come exam season and students across all engineering colleges can be seen scurrying around for the right books to study from and breaking their heads over tricky questions. While many struggle to cram and get through the exams, others are clueless about how to prepare for it. To curb this last minute hassle, Paperhut, an innovative portal helps students in preparing for their exams. Offering previous years' question papers and used books for engineering and MBA courses, Paperhut has grown to be a favourite in the student community. A start-up established by four students of Anna University, Paperhut now has over 10,000 users a day. "Paperhut was born when our professors said the simplest way to score 85 per cent was by going through previous years' question papers," says Krishna Murari, one of the founders. "Then as we tried to access these papers, we had to slog for hours in the library or head out to ask if our seniors had it. On an average, it took us about 3-4 hours to get the papers we wanted. We then contacted a bunch of friends from a few more universities across India, and it looked like everyone faced the same issue! Instead of cribbing about it, we decided to go ahead and solve this problem. And that's how Paperhut was born."
Redefining study
The team of four consists of Krishna Murari, Raghavendra Ramesh, Sreekesh Krishnan and Thiru Venkadam.
Redefining the studying process for students during examinations and making it much easier, Paperhut makes old question papers and books accessible to universities across Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. They have partnered with four colleges in Tamil Nadu to offer their services, allowing the college management as well to share their internal papers and notes. Convincing colleges and universities to become a part of the portal is no mean task and Krishna Murari agrees. "While a lot of colleges have shown interest, we're facing a roadblock as the management boards in many are skeptical about adopting a newer technology in empowering their students. Communicating with colleges involves a lot of effort, including driving down to remote locations for each meeting to take it forward," he says. But their high point comes during exams when Paperhut is put to its best use. "We spot a lot of students with question papers printed from our portal and that is a moment of pride and happiness for us," he adds.
Developing content
Sourcing the papers from students, college seniors and Paperhut volunteers in colleges, they have an online tool which tracks and ensures that all the question papers reach them within a month of the end of a semester. "The question papers are then digitised and optimised before they're uploaded in Paperhut," says Krishna. He adds that the the pre-owned books are sourced from students, dealers in the city and college alumni. Quality checks are also done on the books to ensure its usability before putting them up for sale on Paperhut.
Having received the 'Most Innovative Venture' award from Microsoft at a start-up fest in 2013, Paperhut has progressed and is now Paperhut Education Private Limited. "We are excited to see how we can take this initiative forward to help students across universities," explains Krishna Murari. "We are currently working on sourcing law, medical and chartered accountancy papers and we're halfway through it. We are also looking at expanding our student base, improving the logistics for Paperhut Books and see if we can do something about solving a few more problems that students face. It would help us in taking this initiative further if the managements across colleges could lend some more support in working with us," he concludes.

MSNBC resident blowhard Joe Scarborough just couldn't resist bloviating about the arrests of Washington Post's Wesley Lowery and the Huffington Post's Ryan Reilly. Scarborough's idiot opinion? They must have gotten arrested because they just "want to get on TV."
Lowery had a thing or two to say about that, when CNN interviewed him about his experience, and Scarborough's comments.
"Well, I would invite Joe Scarborough to come down to Ferguson and get out of 30 Rock where he's sitting and sipping his Starbucks smugly," Lowery said during a Thursday morning appearance on CNN. "I invite him to come and talk to the residents of Ferguson, where I've been since Monday afternoon having tear gas shot at me, having rubber bullets shot at me ... I would invite Joe Scarborough down here to do some reporting on the ground, then maybe we can have an educated conversation about what's happening here."Nice idea, but fat chance that Scarborough puts his fat ass in harm's way. Because Scarborough isn't a journalist, he's a hot-air machine.

Emeril has put his name on everything from spoons to oven mitts. If it can be associated with food in any way, it has his face on it. His food looks and tastes like run of the mill Olive Garden-type Italian food with a little Cajun spice thrown in. He does make good salad tongs, though.

The 4th in the series and I have enjoyed them all. Homicide Detective, Lieutenant Lucinda Pierce, is back. A woman opens her front door to get her newspaper and is shocked to find the dead body of her father-in-law lying on her front porch. There is no blood, no sign of foul play, but he is dead. The strange thing is, her father-in-law, who had Alzheimer's has been missing for 6 months! AND he has a pocket full of acorns! The lady and her husband call the police and Lt. Pierce is dispatched to the home. Then she ends up talking to Sgt. Butler from Missing Persons and he tells her there has been a real uptake in the numbers of elderly people in the last year. They all had some form of dementia and there was no signs of violence in any of the disappearances. Lt. Pierce and Sgt. Black work together to try to solve the mystery of the missing people. This book was like the first 3 books in the Lucinda Pierce mysteries….very good and an enjoyable read. I gave it 4 stars.

Google's work on helping Android developers deal with fragmentation is getting some teeth.
Android applications designed for past versions, dating all the way back to the Android 1.6 release, can now take advantage of anti-fragmentation tools (that are for some reason called "Fragment") with the ability to use code that helps make Android apps created for phones run better on Android tablets. CNET noticed Google's quiet blog post on the matter Thursday.
One of the more poorly kept secrets about Android development is that developers can find it challenging to support the wide variety of screen sizes and resolutions that Google's hardware partners use on their phones, not to mention the breakneck speed at which Google (NSDQ: GOOG) releases new versions. In February, with the pending debut of the tablet-optimized Android 3.0 software that could have potentially made things worse, Google released a "Fragment" API that let application developers writing apps for that operating system, also known as Honeycomb, have their apps automatically adjust to different screen sizes.
However, that release only helped out developers who were writing apps for the 3.0 version of the software. With Thursday's release, older applications can get the same benefit.
This is really important for those making games or multimedia applications that not only have to work across multiple devices, but have to look really good or the value of the app is diminished. This is a lot easier for Apple (NSDQ: AAPL), which by default controls exactly which screen sizes iOS applications run on, and illustrates some of the trade-offs between Apple's totally integrated strategy and Google's open licensing strategy, which will probably result in greater long-term market share.

In the latest step to fine-tune the implementation of the District of Columbia's mandatory unitary combined reporting statute, the Office of Tax and Revenue (OTR) has issued a taxpayer-friendly proposed regulation that would provide an automatic seven-month extension for calendar and fiscal year combined reporting filers. Prop. D.C. Mun. Regs. 9 § 176.1 (June 14, 2013). The automatic seven-month extension applies to tax years beginning after December 31, 2010, and applies to all final zero returns. Id. Combined reporting filers must request the automatic seven-month extension on or before the due date of the return and must pay any tax due by the original due date. Prop. D.C. Mun. Regs. 9 § 176.2 (June 14, 2013). Unlike prior extensions, the new extension applies equally to calendar and fiscal year taxpayers (see OTR Notice 2012-07 (Sept. 7, 2012), which gave calendar-year taxpayers an extension for only the first year of combined reporting).
This latest extension for combined reporting filers is meant to give taxpayers 30 days after the due date of their federal return to file a District return. The transition from separate reporting to mandatory unitary combined reporting–which took effect for tax years beginning on or after December 31, 2010–resulted in more complex filings for taxpayers...

But this month, Leffler, 59, who was forced out of office by term limits and lost a race for borough president last year, is wrestling with an integrity issue of his own: whether to plead guilty to charges that he allowed a political supporter to deceive the campaign finance system by donating money in others' names.
The charges stem from $10,000 in campaign contributionsroughly three times the $3500-per-person limit allowed by lawthat a controversial Queens real estate owner tried to steer into Leffler's borough presidency race. All of the money came from Rita Stark, an old family friend of Leffler's and the owner of Fred Stark Realty in Hollis, one of Queens' largest real estate holders. But campaign records show the contributions were divided into 40 individual checks and money orders, each for $250, each made out in the name of a Stark tenant or employee and bearing the date July 6, 1999.
The gifts spelled a potential small bonanza for Leffler's campaign, since beginning with the 2001 election, the public campaign finance system provided a four-to-one match for contributions of $250 and below, meaning each of Stark's allegedly concocted checks and money orders was worth an added $1000 to the campaign.
Several people whose names appeared on the contributions said they never gave to Leffler's race.
"I don't contribute; I don't have any money to contribute. I'm on welfare," said Douglas Hazelwood, who lives in a Stark-owned apartment building at 201-05 Jamaica Avenue and whose name and address were listed on one of the money orders. "I think the landlady did that," added Hazelwood. "She put all our names on the checks."
"Leffler? I don't know who that is," said Maria Kazlovas, a tenant of another Stark property, at 193-30 Jamaica Avenue, and also listed as a contributor.
Yet another Stark tenant, Zora Jenkins of 195th Street in Hollis, also expressed surprise that a campaign gift was made in her name. "No, I didn't do that," said Jenkins.
Several names were misspelled on the contributions, and some addresses listed for donors appear not to exist at all. At any rate, they didn't fool the city's Campaign Finance Board, which was on the lookout for fraud, given the increased matching amount for smaller contributions. The agency flagged them in an audit last year and referred the matter to the office of Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau.
Investigators there approached Stark, who, according to sources familiar with the probe, admitted her role and agreed to tape-record a meeting with Leffler last August in which she discussed her bungled effort and suggested that she have new checks made out to the campaign, also in the names of nominees. A half-dozen such checks were later deposited as contributions, records show.
What happened in that August 13, 2001, meeting between Leffler and Stark is the nub of the matter for prosecutors, who have said that Leffler knowingly agreed to the scheme. "Leffler took the money with full recognition of violating the campaign finance laws," one investigator told the Voice.
There is no threat of jail time for Leffler, the sources said, but prosecutors are seeking a fine of as much as $50,000 and an agreement that Leffler forfeit any matching funds still owed him by the Campaign Finance Board, an amount estimated at between $60,000 and $85,000.
Leffler acknowledged the accusations against him, but refused to talk about specifics. "This is not the time for me to discuss this," he said. Yet in a sometimes rambling phone interview, Leffler, a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, indicated he felt he had done no wrong. He was only thinking of settling, he said, because his wife and law partners "want me to get this wrapped up, to get some closure." But he also said he would be inclined to fight the charges at trial if not for the high cost of mounting a criminal defense. He said the $100,000 estimated cost of a trial was "more than anyone should have to pay to get at the truth."
"I have agonized over this and lost tremendous sleep over it," said Leffler. "It is not a simple thing. I have an internal gyroscope and try to do what is right. I was in the council 24 years and people believe in me."
All that had been jeopardized, he said, in a brief, fateful meeting with an old family friend in the midst of the tense primary election last summer. "You get hung up on something that took a few secondsliterally secondsin the course of a difficult race."
That conversation, one he refused to discuss specifically, had provided the fuel for the charges against him, he said.
"I was told that the campaign finance system and Manhattan D.A. feel there is a problem generally in terms of fraud," said the ex-lawmaker. "And they are looking to make an example of someone. Well, they got Rita Stark, and I am the person."
Rita Stark returned none of the messages left at her real estate office on Jamaica Avenue. The business was founded by her father, Fred, an immigrant from Austria, in 1923. A builder of small homes and shopping centers, Fred Stark was considered Queens' largest real estate investor by the time of his death in 1988. One of those he sold property to was Leffler's father, who was in the trucking business.
"There is a long relationship," said Leffler. "I knew the Stark family for many years." He also worked with Rita Stark for several years on the board of the Hollis Chamber of Commerce, where Leffler served as the unpaid general counsel. "I have a letter here in which Rita praises me to the heavens as a great councilman," said Leffler.
Stark, however, was an odd match as a supporter for a politician who won steady backing from tenant groups in his campaigns. She has been accused of allowing several properties, including residential apartment houses, to fall into disrepair. Officials of the Jamaica Arts Center have for years complained that Stark has left the next-door Jamaica Savings Bank headquarters, a stately but ailing old beaux-arts-style structure, to deteriorate into a graffiti-scarred shell.
In 1996 the building was designated a landmark by city officials. But at Stark's request, in a rare move, the council overturned the designation. Former Queens councilman Archie Spigner, also a recipient of Stark campaign gifts, was the main foe of the designation, but Leffler acknowledged that he had also opposed it.
Stark has also been unpopular among merchants and activists in the Rockaways, where a shopping mall on Mott Avenue built by her father has also deteriorated, with many stores now vacant.
Newsday reported last year that local politicians were so frustrated by Stark's refusal to either rent the vacant shops or sell the property that they demanded the mall be condemned.
Stark's 1999 contributions represented the first major infusion of cash into Leffler's borough presidency campaign. But when two formidable opponentsformer councilwoman Helen Marshall, who had the backing of the Queens Democratic organization, and ex-school board president Carol Gresserentered the race early last year, Leffler quickly found himself strapped for funds. His hoped-for support from labor unions never materialized, a casualty of several votes Leffler cast on the council opposing labor-backed bills, such as the first living-wage legislation.
Nor did he obtain another much sought-after prize, the endorsement of The New York Times. "He thought he had earned that, as such a good-government advocate," said one supporter. Instead, the Times nod went to winner Marshall. Leffler ran a distant third in the race, with 24,416 votes, less than a third of Marshall's total, and slightly more than half the votes garnered by runner-up Gresser.
"I gave the voters of Queens their first real choice for borough president in history," said Leffler. "In a campaign you come in contact with a host of people. How much responsibility do you take for what they do?"

Knight House is located between the Freedom Square (Vabaduse Viljak) and the Town Hall Square. Whether you come by bus, ferry, train or plane: public transport will stop at he big Freedom Square and from here and then it will be only a 4 minute walk to the hostel.
Once you arrive by any means of transport, cross the Vabaduse Viljak and walk into Harju street. At the first intersection turn to the left and you are already in Riitli street. Follow the road around the corner and very soon you will see our big while house (with the sign 'Knight') on your left side.
HOW TO REACH VABADUSE ViLJAK
From the Central Bus station:
You need to take a tram No. 4 (direction Tondi) until the tram stop 'Vabaduse viljak', or take a bus No. 17, 17a or 23 to the bus stop 'Vabaduse viljak'.
From the Harbour and Train station:
You need to take a tram No. 1 or 2 (direction Tondi, ilemiste or Kadriorg) to tram stop 'Hobujaama', and take a tram No. 3 or 4 from there (direction Tondi) and ride to the 'Vabaduse viljak' tram stop'.
From the Airport:
You can take bus No. 2 and get off at the bus stop 'A.Laikmaa' in the city center. From there take a short walk to the tram stop 'Hobujaama' and take a tram No. 3 or 4 (direction Tondi) to the 'Vabaduse viljak' tram stop.
Coming by taxi:
Taxis that you find on the street tend to overcharge. Try to negotiate a price with them and try not to pay more than 10 euros. If you can, it's much more reliable and cheaper to order a taxi on +372 638 0000 to pick you up (pay attention to the car number that they tell you) and expect to pay 5-10 Euro, depending on traffic and whether you are coming from the harbor, bus station or airport.
Coming by car:
There is a paid car park right across the street from our hostel.

Almost a year after joining the World Trade Organization (WTO), China still falls short of completing many of its promises to the international community. Regional political problems and a depressed global economy have increased pressure on the Communist Party leadership to remain protective of domestic agriculture, many state owned industries, and traditional businesses even as the national government remains strongly committed to opening Chinese markets to international trade and financial flows. Expanding international commerce has continued to increase economic opportunities for many Chinese but the greater integration into the world community has not yet translated into greater individual rights. China has arguably become more closed over the past year with its tightening restrictions on religious groups and its increased regulation of the Internet.

If I find a piece of clothing that looks and fits great, I try it out for a bit, make sure it holds up to washing, and then I go back and buy one in every color I find appealing. Saves on the time and effort to find good pieces and makes dressing a little more uniform and simple.

I am so guilty of buying a lot of cheap clothes. I would have overflowing closets but nothing to wear! I think it's a lot better strategy to buy things you LOVE and just a few of them. If you find a pair of jeans that look great on you, wouldn't you wear them 4 or 5 days of the week? Even if your wardrobe only consists of a handful of items you can accessorize with belts, scarves or jewelry and create totally different looks. Also, don't be afraid to have things tailored!
We are a family of Jesus loving urban-nesters living the granola life in a not-so-crunchy city. Our kids (DS 8, DS 7, DD 4) are home birthed and educated, and we just found out that a new Little will be added to our roost mid-April '14!
i am a size 16 or 18 and love old navy jeans, not expnsive and i think they last a while, and i think they look good on me. i have some that i have had for 5 years or so, the knee is worn, but i am hard on my clothes.

From the article: Bikram Yoga - Hot Yoga
Bikram Choudhury, the hot yoga innovator, is a very controversial figure in contemporary yoga. Some love his style and credit it with transforming their lives, others find him distasteful and his methods dangerous. What's your experience with Bikram yoga?
I have mixed feelings.....
- I had a very bad Bikram experience. Several years ago, I used to teach yoga. I practiced a few times a week, either Astanga or "power flow" yoga. I went to this class expecting great things. And the teacher was awful! It's not that she didn't know what she was doing, she was highly skilled and knowledgable. I know that Bikram requires a special certification, so it's not like just anyone can hop up there and teach. But she was mean! I told her I had a few years experience with power yoga, and she looked at me like I was an inferior human being. She scoffed at my yoga rug (apparently, she also rents towels). She said things to the class like "if your hands are sliding, it means you are WEAK!" She told us to make sure we sweated only on the towels, so we could "take your stink with you" when we left. I was horrified. You know, my hip flexors had never felt better than they did after that class, but I refused to ever go back. Sadly it's the only Bikram studio in town. Too bad!
- —EKJacques
I loved it
- Bikram was actually the first style of yoga I tried and I was immediately hooked. After every class I felt like I'd had a great workout AND a full-body massage. There were definitely some teachers at the studio that were much better than others, in spite of the fact that they all receive the exact same training. Where I live now there is no Bikram studio, so I attend vinyasa classes which I also enjoy.
- —FamilyFitness
Seems quite phoney, and quite dull
- I love Vinyasa in a hot room, but 30-34 not 40. I thought I'd give Bikram a go as it's so popular. I've been to a few classes, but I won't be staying once my intro special offer is used up. Why? It's an illusion that it's a great workout: you sweat a lot because it's really hot, that's all. Some of the poses are challenging to balance or stretch, but overall it's not that challenging compared to power yoga. The room has no natural light, and smells of hot rubber yoga mats. There is too little focus on the upper body and arms - nothing that compares to downward dog/plank/handstand etc in vinyasa. There is no flow, it's all static, which is partly boring, but also just not very athletic. It's always the same, so you might really improve at one stretch, but have a whole set of tight muscles you never work really. The thing I dislike most though is the instructor yelling EXACTLY THE SAME THING EVERY TIME. And, people, you can't "detox" by sweating! That's salty water.
- —Guest vinyasa for me
56 years young
- I was introduced to Bikram yoga in Alaska. My first teacher, Rick Resnick was awesome. The year was 2001. I now attend studios in Austin TX that are excellent! Bikram yoga is not for everyone....although I personally feel it could "help many different challenges" if the person could allow and work with determination in poses and heat. I experienced many wonderful yogic styles,pose and schools(I have ever taught yoga). For me, the Bikram poses and classes are wonderful...despite critics and doomsayers ....I have seen the healing forces of many students through practice of Bikram. The best studios are in Austin,TX. Wonderful caring teachers that guide and help you. Don't condemn if it's beyond your liking...move on to another yogic experience. Let it shine,heal and balance the ones that Bikram yoga pulls in.
- —Guest Robin
I'm on the fence
- I'm 52 and my 20 year old son and his girlfriend are really into this so convinced me to try it. I thought I was going to die the first time but a nice lady in the locker room told me "just try to make it through the 90 minutes, even if you don't do the poses". So I did, I have gone now at least 10 times. I am starting to enjoy it more. Lucky for me, I am in an area where the variety of students is so wide, I don't feel like I need to be a yogi master. I am not very flexible, could never do the splits or touch my toes but I am getting there. I feel like my arthritis in toes is getting a break too. When friends ask me about it, I don't go overboard recommending as I am still waiting for noticeable weight loss results and will let them speak for me. I do get a lot of compliments on how good my skin looks.
- —Guest Shelly
Common Sense
- I am a Bikram Devotee. As in any type of athletic activity, there is a pace one must pay attention to, especially in the beginning. It is the responsibility of the student to listen to their body and know their limitations. If it hurts, don't do it, or at least modify the posture. Bikram is a marathon, not a sprint.
- —Guest Guest Ginger
Bikram caused my lower back pain
- I was a Bikram devotee for about 3 years and loved going to class. Since I'm a Type A personality, I pushed myself and was able to get better and better each class. Unfortunately, the "pushing until you can't stand" or "bending over backwards until you can see the wall" really did a number on my lower back. As a result, I've suffered from (sometimes) debilitating back pain since leaving Bikram yoga. What has improved my back is a vinyasa practice which greatly helped my core strength, which the Bikram cadence of poses did not. No more bikram for me!!!
- —Guest Denise
Pain for New Student
- I went to Hot Bikram Yoga to improve my flexibility. I am fit and healthy female, regularly work out with TRX, Dumbells, cycle. On my first class, I wasn't advised on what to expect. Teacher was pushing everyone the same. As a strong minded and just strong person, I was pushing myself to the limits if not beyond. I was pretty much 'wiped out' for 2 days after, with a little energy and a mild back pain. Nevertheless, I'm went back in 48 hours. It was a different teacher, who atleast asked me couple of questions during the class but I pretty much was copying what others were doing. Now, since the morning after, I have a severe lower and mid back pain (shooting) when I change position from sitting to standing, lying to sitting, etc. I've been applying cold, ibuprofen in and out for 48 hrs with no improvement. Starting to feel feverish as well. Think a trip to a doctor is on the cards!! I'm not against Birkam Yoga, Maybe needs a difficulty option for beginners and better coaching? TMel
- —Guest Mel T
I Love Bikram
- I love it. I love the strictness, I love the fact I am not allowed to leave the room, I love that teachers push me passed my comfort zone. I love the routine of knowing what every posture is going to be. I love the way it makes me feel physically, and mentally. If you don't like being told what to do, or you don't have the willpower to stay in the room or you choose to believe that Bikram is bad for you because it pushes you too hard then there are plenty of flowy, non challenging styles of yoga. If I'm going to give up 90 minutes of my day I want the best workout possible and in my mind this is it.
- —Guest James
Bikram Yoga
- I am hooked on Bikram Yoga, I went to the first class riddled with aches and pains left over from a bad injury. I was 60 lbs over weight, depressed to a clinical state. 6 monthes Later I am down to the same weight I was in high school, I have a 32 inch waist from a 40 inch, I don't feel sore at all (just tired muscles) my posture is better, I sleep better and am not depresssed at all. I feel literally 10 years younger (I am 38). I cannot say enough good things about Bikram yoga! The only thing is the dehydration, I feel like I manage my life around that - I drink like 4, 5 litres a water a day lol.
- —Guest Mike
Can't Live Without It
- I am in my early 30's, and I have practiced many types of yoga since the age of 17: hatha, Iyengar, Ashtanga. I started Bikram after also feeling very reluctant based on things I had heard about him. After working his method for five months I am in love. I have not lost weight at all, but have tightened up considerably. I have eliminated a chronic back pain problem that was stress related. I feel happier and less stressed. I have met some great teachers, and regularly attend class here in LA. I encourage yogis everywhere to give it a try before judging it like I did.
- —Guest Angie
Good, but more of a workout than yoga
- I have been practicing Hatha yoga for a year now, with wonderful results on a physical, mental and spiritual level. I always thought of Bikram as practicing vinyasa flow in a sauna and therefore it did not appeal to me. A friend heard about a 10 days trial at a Bikram yoga studio and asked me along. One problem though, I live abroad and understand little of the language. My knowledge of yoga helped me greatly as I already knew all the poses, but when I managed to attend a class taught by an English teacher, I realized how much I was missing, like the fact we should keep our eyes open, the breathing etc... that day I left a lot more sore than normal. It is hard work but the feeling afterwards is amazing. I am however missing the meditation/spiritual dimension, although by keeping my eyes open at all times and the drone of the foreign language instructions (I understand some drills by now though), I feel like I am meditating
- —Guest Gin
Bikram V. Yoga
- I love the bikram approach, having a 90 minute routine that works the legs arms and spine. I hate the Bikramscript. My practice is to tune out the instructors, ESP if what they say overrides what my body is telling me. The script does interfere with the mediation, that makes it yoga not workout. I have found some quiet teachers, and some useful instructors. It is Bikram yoga, not Bikram workout. It is important for the student to enter any studio with a yoga intention, otherwise they might hurt themselves. This is a yoga class not a gym workout.
- —Guest Kathleen
You'll Get Used To The Heat
- I've been doing this for 6 yrs and help me mentally and physically. Drink lots of fluid and don't eat anything 3 hrs before class starts. You'll make it all the way thru and will feel soooooo energized!!!!
- —Guest Peters
bikram has done me wonders
- First time I went to Bikram was about 4 years ago and smoked a pack a day and was a little bit hung over with not to much sleep. But my friend told me to come and I did. I don't regret it at all to this day. I am thankful she brought me because after that first class, I have never felt better!! Yes its hot in there, be hydrated like the instructions tell you to do before class and do not eat 3 hrs before. If you need to eat, eat something light and healthy. The instructor was awesome and very understanding when I told him it was my first time. He said just try your best to stay in the room the whole time. If you need to rest, just lay down on your back. I stopped for about 2 years for no reason but now am back at it in full force and loving it. Never felt better, more alive and feel better after each class. Its about pushing yourself and getting that stretch. People who put down Bikram have had either just a bad instructor or not well enough prepared.

Diners in Hong Kong flock to Tin Lung Heen, the Cantonese restaurant in the Ritz-Carlton hotel, to indulge in dim sum made by chef Leung Tsang Hoi.

"The skin is very important: not too thick, it should not stick on paper or chopsticks, and it should not be overcooked so that the skin falls apart."

Simplistic journalism, especially about misunderstood parts of the world and complex conflicts, can do grave harm by reinforcing biases or deepening anger. The U.S. news media has demonstrated this point with its coverage of the current Middle East unrest, writes Erin Niemela.
Obama Administration
The Constitution's Unhappy Birthday
As the U.S. Constitution reaches its 225th birthday, the democratic Republic that it made possible is facing extraordinary threats to its survival, at least as anything but a shell of its former self. The main culprit is a relentless assault by the super-rich and their political/media handmaidens, says Beverly Bandler.
Misreading the Arab Street's Anger
The neocon response toward the anger against the U.S. on the Arab and Muslim "street" is to lash out at those countries and to chastise President Obama for his early efforts at out-reach. But Middle East specialists Flynt and Hillary Mann Leverett say the real problem was the lack of follow-through.
US Media Distorts Iran Nuke Dispute
Exclusive: The major U.S. news media continues its biased coverage of the Israel-Iran standoff, tilting consistently in favor of Israel, in part, by ignoring Israel's actual nuclear arsenal and hyping Iran's hypothetical one. Even a rare wrist-slap from the Washington Post's ombudsman has had no effect, writes Robert Parry.
Has Netanyahu Gone Too Far?
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is demanding that President Obama set a precise "red line" regarding Iran's nuclear program, meaning a commitment to go to war even if Iran is not actually building a nuclear weapon. Ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar sees a possible turning point in the U.S.-Israeli relationship.
Romney's Jaw-Dropping Incoherence
Exclusive: Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney's latest distortion about an attempt by the U.S. Embassy in Egypt to calm Mideast tensions is not only renewing concerns about his honesty but raising new questions about his mental stability, writes Robert Parry.
Managing Mideast's Anti-Americanism
Anti-Americanism remains strong in the Muslim world, exacerbated by the kind of crude bigotry in a video that stoked the latest violence against U.S. diplomatic outposts and the killing of the American ambassador in Libya. Cool heads are needed to manage this problematic relationship, says ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Neocons Regroup on Libyan War
From the Archive: The assault by radical Islamists on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, killing U.S. Ambassador to Libya J. Christopher Stevens and three of his aides, underscores the under-reported risk of the U.S.-backed military campaign against Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi, as Robert Parry noted in 2011.
Would Neocons Control Romney?
Mitt Romney has articulated few substantive differences between himself and President Obama on foreign policy, but a Romney victory could dramatically change the U.S. approach to the world because he, like George W. Bush, is surrounding himself with neocon advisers, notes ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar.
Walking the Jerusalem Plank
In reversing the decision of the Democratic platform committee to omit a plank declaring Jerusalem the capital of Israel, President Obama may have intended to deny the Republicans another attack line, but he also added to the disenchantment of some progressives, says Lawrence Davidson.

It is being designed for distribution through big box stores where bottles would be sold off pallets. Packaging development has to encompass the primary package and extend into the pallet to assure sales in the store. It illustrates the need for an integrated development strategy.
The product is the brainchild of Tom Schneider and Bill O'Day who have formed the WaterBall International Group. The blow-molded PET ball holds 3.3 gallons of water.
The package offers two advantages in the retail environment-size and shape. Filled with 3.3 gallons of water it weighs about 28 lbs compared to 40-plus lbs for the traditional five-gallon water jug. "With the smaller size we think it has appeal with women" notes Schneider. WaterBall International doesn't have all the answers to its retail packaging yet but here are key criteria on packaging in the mass merchandising environment. Many of the considerations involve getting the best display on the pallet:
• Secondary packaging needs to leverage the WaterBall's visual appeal. Holograms are one tactic under investigation. They can interact with light in the store to create heightened visual appeal. Neck hangers are one way to introduce holograms. Inserts between bottles on the pallet are another potential avenue.
• Ribbed versus a smooth bottle surface on the primary container. The PET globe can be molded either way. According to Schneider current informal research shows women preferring the ribbed version.
• White liner on corrugated pallet tier sheets. White—as opposed to natural kraft—facing stock can reflect more light into the bottles building visual impact.
Because the round bottles do not stabilize each other in the way that square-footprint bottles do development of the pallet configuration is critical. It may involve stretch wrapping of individual tiers to add stability followed by stretch wrapping of the entire pallet. However that step conflicts with retailers' objectives of reducing pallet debris and simplifying pallet handling in stores.

Attention all you star fuckers: You can now stalk all your favorite stars with half the work...aint that grand? From our friends at Us Weekly:
"In the name of privacy and completely invading it comes Gawker Stalker Maps! Brought to you from gawker.com, the site has people send in celebrity sightings which are then posted immediately on a map. So basically, if you have no shame or conscience whatsoever, you can pinpoint the location of a celeb and then go follow them around like a lovestruck teenager. Launched this morning, the site already has uber-publicists like Ken Sunshine and Leslie Sloane-Zelnick ("Spinderella"!) tearing off their headsets and breaking their clipboards across their knees in fury. We're predicting this is going to turn into mobs of people chasing after celebs like Sly Stallone running up the stairs in Rocky. Not that anyone's going to be running after Stallone, but you get where we're going with this."

A racing legend dies in a car explosion on the streets of Manhattan during an exhibition race and when our CSIs discover car tampering, their murder investigation leads us through the F1 racing community to find the killer. The victim, a legend in his time but definitely passed his racing prime, was not well liked and had a number of enemies which made Mac and the team's job to find his killer that much harder. His #1 competitor was a female race car driver (played by Danica Patrick), who was racing him at the time of his death. She had all the motive in the world to kill the victim since he almost killed her in a race not to long ago. When the team finds fibers from her race suit at the location where they know the car tampering took place they think they have there killer but she has an alibi that checks out and claims she was just trying to get a look at the competition. The break in the case comes in the form of surveillance video showing the victim's wife leaving the hotel room of the victim's longtime and seemingly loyal Crew Chief. During interrogation they both admit to conspiring to rig the engine to short circuit but never to kill him. They wanted him to stop racing and retire and knew making him lose was the only way to convince him to quit. Mac believes their story and when Sheldon finally finds the tool that damaged the engine wire, causing the explosion, he also finds a fingerprint on the tool; it belongs to the owner of the racecar. The owner thought the victim was over the hill and needed him out of the way so that he could bring in a new, hotter race car driver and build up million dollar sponsorships again, so he believed there was no other way to get rid of him than killing him.


text: The mating or breeding of distantly related or unrelated individuals. Outbreeding often produces offspring of superior quality because it increases homozygosity (the occurrence of two alleles for the same trait at corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes), thereby sharply reducing the risk of deleterious recessive genes being expressed. Crossbreeding is the most common form of outbreeding.

Very simple. First step was to unplug the dryer. The I removed the 10 or so screws of the back panel. Located the heating element on the lower right side of dryer. Detached the electrical wiring to the heating element. Removed the 4 screws that held it in place. Easily pulled the old heating element. Moved the electronic switch from the old heating element to the new one. Placed the new element back into place with its 4 screws. Reattached the electrical wiring. Placed the back panel on. Ready to go. Quite an easy job.

About Lupus
Lupus is the result of an unbalanced immune system that can become destructive to any major organ or tissue in the body. Lupus is unpredictable and potentially fatal, yet no satisfactory treatment or cure exists. Its health consequences may include heart attacks, strokes, seizures, or sudden organ failure. Current treatments are immune-suppressing agents, which have toxic side effects, increasing risks for infections and other bodily damage. The LFA estimates that more than 1.5 million Americans have some form of lupus.
Although lupus can strike any person at any age, nine of 10 people with lupus are women of childbearing age (ages 15-45). Lupus is two to three times more common among women of color, including African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans and Asians.
About the Lupus Foundation of America
The LFA is the nation's foremost nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus, and providing support, services, and hope to all people affected by lupus. The LFA and its network of nearly 300 chapters, branches, and support groups conduct programs of research, education, and advocacy.

Murudeshwar-Gangavali coastline is known for the breeding of this critically endangered species
Canara Green Academy, Forest Department are jointly involved in protecting turtles in the area
This year we plan to protect around 6,000
eggs: forest official
Honnavar (UTTARa KANNADA DISTRICT): Early one September morning, eco-activist Annappa Naik received a call from a fisherman saying he had seen eggs of the Olive Ridley turtle on a beach near the temple town of Murudeshwar. Mr. Naik rushed to the spot before any damage was done to them.
He brought the 50-odd eggs to a spot near his house in Manki village adjoining the beach, a kilometre from the spot the eggs were hatched. Creating a pit similar to the one that the turtles make, Mr. Naik placed the eggs in it and covered the area with a net. On November 7, two tiny turtles emerged and started moving towards the sea. Many more are likely to enter the Arabian Sea in the next four days.
These little ones belonging to the long-distance travelling and critically-endangered species of turtles are among the many that Naik has protected over the past four years. Protection here is not only provided near the houses but also at the beach along the 75-km-long Murudeshwar - Gangavali route on the west coast. He is one of the few volunteers of the Canara Green Academy that is involved with the Forest Department in the protection of the turtles in the area.
This coastline has been known for breeding of turtles. The turtles lay eggs along the coast mainly between November and February. "A few of the clusters have been found even between September-October and February-March," said Ravi K. Pandit, Superintendent in the Forest Department, who is involved in conservation.
In 1984, the Forest Department set up a turtle breeding centre at Jali village in Honnavar taluk, one of the 10 areas identified for the purpose. But over the years these areas have not been productive. There were reports of turtles not choosing the coastline along the Jali village because of obstruction from the sea wall. This led the Canara Green Academy to undertake the conservation of the turtles in 2005.
In the first year, the volunteers of the academy located a cluster of 92 eggs near Aprasakonda. From this, as many as 16 hatchlings were released into the sea.
The next year the academy and the Forest Department surveyed the coastline and collected information on the spots where the turtle laid eggs.
They also campaigned to build awareness among the fishermen and the residents along the coastline.
In 2007, protection was given for about 6,000 eggs, while 5,000 eggs were protected in 2008. "This year, we plan to protect around 6,000 eggs. You can see the little turtles in action in December," said Mr. Pandit.
Locating the cluster of eggs has been a challenge. "Unlike the east coast where the clusters are located close to each other, the distance between two clusters here is around 2 km," said Deputy Conservator of Forests (Honnavar division) Krishna Udupudi. The department is taking up a host of programmes, including conducting beach walks, for generating awareness about coastal biodiversity, more so of the need to protect Oliver Ridley turtles.
The department also plans to focus on villages such as Haldipur and Taribagli where the eggs are found in large numbers.

Mortality and recruitment in an urban forest (Forest Park in Portland, Oregon) between 1993 and 2003

I examined tree recruitment and mortality over a ten-year period at permanent plots in an urban forest, Forest Park, in Portland, Oregon. The density and diameter at breast height (dbh) for all trees living and dead were measured in 1993 and again in 2003. Data were analyzed using paired Student t-tests. I found significantly fewer live and significantly more dead trees in 2003 than in 1993. The increase in mortality was significant for all species of trees and for all sizes except large diameter trees. Mortality rates ranged from 0% to 67% at my sites. Recruitment was lower at all sites in 2003 with significantly fewer seedlings and saplings. The high mortality and low recruitment resulted in a net loss of trees at all sites. Loss of trees was not offset by increasing tree diameter, which suggests self-thinning is not the cause. No strong correlation with an urban to rural land use gradient was observed. The results may be related to global climate change or pollution. The high mortality of trees of all species in many diameter classes without a concomitant increase in recruitment could lead to dramatic changes in forest structure.
