Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy's proposed $55-per-person tax rebate won the approval of a key state legislative committee on Tuesday. Members of the Finance, Revenue and Bonding Committee voted 31 to 19 for the proposal.
The Speaker of the Connecticut House of Representatives said on Wednesday he's in favor of allowing municipalities to tax college and hospital properties. Such institutions are currently exempt from local property taxes because they are non-profits.
Connecticut House Speaker Brendan Sharkey says legislation that would end municipal car taxes is on his agenda for next year's legislative session. Sharkey announced his plans for the 2014 legislative session in Hartford on Thursday.

The PHRF ratings on the CS36M SD indicate the boat would be a tad faster than the other boats I'm considering. Oddly though, the PHRF High, Low, Median numbers are all the same for the Shoal Draft version. Also, I'm suprised at the deltas between the Deep draft, Shoal Draft and Wing Keel versions of this boat. While I'd expect some loss of performance with the short keel, the shoal draft is the slowest of the three by a wider margin than I would have guessed. I would have thought there would be little difference between SD and WK versions. Apparently, PHRF thinks the WK does indeed improve the boats performance. Anyway, I don't intend to race, and the boat does offer a more performance than the production boats that fit my budget and I require the shallow draft. It really comes down to condtion and build quality. There seems to be a perception that perhaps the Merlin is not as well built as its predecssor, but I'm seeking opinons on how it would compare with boats like a Beneteau, Catalina, Tartan or Sabre.
Thanks for the advice on giving the once over on a boat. That is pretty much the routine we've adopted for looking at boats. The reference to pictures was just to point out that you really cannot form an opinon on the conditon of a boat based on pictures. The Sabre we went to see, looked great in the photos, but was rough in real life. There had been no attempt at deception, the photos just did not reveal the warts.

Buying my first boat for liveaboard (Hunter 33 Cherubini 1978)
I am thinking of placing an offer on a 1978 Hunter 33 Cherubini. I had spoken before in the forums asking about other boats..that were much costlier and better suited for liveaboards but I found a small affordable boat I would be very happy with.
-Is it reasonable to expect to live aboard a Hunter.. I know its not a bluewater boat nor that large but the previous owner was a cabinet maker and the interior is just packed with teak cupboards which I am thrilled about.
-I am thinking it might take some creativity is finding a place for my cats litter box. Am I okay leaving my cat alone in my boat while I am away at work. Can I leave electric heating on in the boat for her during the winter or is that unsafe?
-How much could I expect in trailering fees to get this boat to my Marina.. it is roughly 300km (186miles) away.
Just some of my many questions running through my head before I speak with the finance guys tomorrow and go through with an offer.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

FireWhat Inc. Launches Website for Free Firefighter Training and Life-Saving Innovation
Founded by an MIT grad and two professional California firefighters, FireWhat Inc. provides critical tools and necessary training materials to the emergency service industries. With a variety of site features ranging from wildland fire imagery to product reviews, this completely free platform is truly a game-changer for the Fire Service of tomorrow.
Burlingame, CA (PRWEB) July 01, 2011
Today FireWhat Inc unveiled firewhat.com, a revolutionary new website, through which the company improves the delivery of emergency service training and constantly develops innovative tools for the Fire Service. With this 4th of July weekend marking the start of Fire Season in the state of California, the launch of firewhat.com couldn't have come at a more appropriate time.
After months of development, the FireWhat team has rolled out a complete line of web products catering specifically to the needs of the Fire Service. In the months prior to today's launch, the founding team has been conducting market research and gathering quality feedback from industry experts. Recent demos include a presentation at Carnegie Mellon University's Disaster Management Initiative annual workshop at NASA Research Park at Moffett Field in Mountain View, California. There the site received rave reviews and anxious anticipation of its launch.
Of the many ground-breaking features offered by this website, the most revolutionary will be FireWhat's wildland fire tracking system. This platform combines satellite imagery, active fire perimeters, spot weather monitoring and forecasts, live radio traffic, and fire information sharing. For the first time in history, firefighters will respond to wildland fires utilizing live satellite imagery (provided by Weather Underground, wunderground.com) and the most rapid communication platforms. The site gives wildland firefighters the ability to find and share information about what is happening on the fire ground. Not only will this product deliver critical, life-saving information to wildland firefighters; it will do so for free.
In addition to the fire incident tracking, firewhat.com offers a wide variety of features. Initially intended to be a free firefighter training resource, the bulk of the site is devoted to improving firefighter education. Educational resources are compiled and categorized under more than 1,500 topics. Instructors can make use of the site's lesson plan generation, sharing and record-keeping tools. Product reviews (coming soon to the site) will improve Fire Service purchasing decisions by providing unbiased evaluations of the products and services that firefighters buy. Up-to-the-minute firefighter news, fire video search, free job listings, forums and a full set of social features make firewhat.com a real one-stop-shop for all things relevant to emergency service professionals.
FireWhat Inc is dedicated to its mission to provide free, high-quality training and education to the emergency services. In collaboration with its Launch Sponsors""FS3 (Authorized Holmatro Dealer), SF Police Credit Union, and The Supply Cache Inc""FireWhat is doing its part to make sure that all emergency responders get home safely.
About FireWhat Inc.
FireWhat Inc. is a start-up company founded by an MIT grad and two professional firefighters. FireWhat's mission is to provide a professional platform that inspires the highest quality of emergency service training and education. Through development of web and mobile products, FireWhat Inc. seeks to update the antiquated delivery of emergency services training and to incorporate innovation into a technology-deprived industry.

Attractive Sun Hat
Review by Quailgray
Value Quality Overall Style
This is a pretty straw hat in a lovely honey-brown color. The fit is good - I wear a M to L size. Love the deep brim and it provides good sun protection. Material is good quality and sturdy. Not flimsy, so it keeps it shape. I've worn my new hat several times and it looks attractive on me. A very nice addition to my wardrobe for the upcoming summer weather.

Italy Blasts Hollywood With a Few Home Truths
By Jonathon Romney
Shot like a war film, this scorching expose of the brutalities of organised crime in Naples has no huggable heroes or happy endings Film Gomorrah Matteo Garrone 137 MINS, 15
There's only one moment in the new Italian film Gomorrah that resembles the gangster movie as we know it. In a tanning parlour, assorted fleshy men stand gleaming in the blue light of their cubicles. Backs are slapped, grins grinned, jokes cracked. Then suddenly, bada bing! – or however that translates in Neapolitan dialect, the main language of Matteo Garrone's extraordinary drama.
Set around Naples, Gomorrah is an everyday epic of criminality, exposing the activities of the Camorra, the underworld network that holds sway in that region. But perhaps "underworld" isn't the right term: judging by Garrone's film, there's nothing remotely surreptitious about the Camorra's activities. In the world of Gomorrah, crime is simply the business of everyday life.
The film is based on a book by journalist Roberto Saviano (also one of the film's co-writers), whose revelations about what's known locally as "the System" proved so incisive that he's been under police protection for two years. Director Garrone may need his own protection because – while Hollywood gangster cinema has traditionally tickled and flattered the Mob – there's not an iota of glamour in Gomorrah's harsh, unforgiving tableau.
Gomorrah comprises five interleaved stories. One strand involves an angelic-looking boy, Tot (Salvatore Abruzzese), who wants to be a gang foot-soldier. He passes his audition: donning a bullet-proof vest, he stands to be shot at, then is told, "Now you're a man". At home, he proudly admires the bruise on his chest: a medal of war, but also a reminder that, like everyone in the Camorra's circle of hell, he's already been kissed by death.
We also meet Don Ciro (Gianfelice Imparato), a bagman who scuttles around in his respectable windcheater doling out cash to families of faithful Camorra members. Then there's Pasquale, an expert tailor on a couture-house shopfloor, who gets into deep water when he agrees to moonlight giving lessons to a rival Chinese concern. A dash of black comedy is provided by two young yahoos (Marco Macor, Ciro Petrone), who fancy themselves as go-it-alone outlaws: they're first seen swaggering around like children, making "pow! pow!" noises and fancying themselves as Tony Montana, Al Pacino's anti-hero in Scarface. They're almost lovable in a pitiful way: one has a raspy bulldog voice, the other a nebbish whine, and their adventures constitute a sort of ill-fated love story.
In the fifth story we see the System's respectable face, represented by dapper Franco, whose lucrative business is the disposal of toxic waste as landfill. In a quarry, he smilingly oversees a gang of children that he's enlisted to drive trucks – their spilled contents having already left one adult looking like the English Patient. The film's most chilling moment comes when an elderly peasant woman gives Franco and his lieutenant a tray of peaches. Once he's on the road, Franco throws them away: they're toxic. A shot of the junked fruit brings the point home: the peaches are the people, poisoned by the Camorra's contempt for its own land.
The cast includes a few outstanding professionals, notably Salvatore Cantalupo as the careworn tailor, and the superb Toni Servillo as Franco. Best known for his lead in The Consequences of Love (smoothly creepy, like John Malkovich all'italiana), here Servillo is all bonhomie and vicious cynicism. But Garrone's truly creative casting is among local non-professionals, some with real Camorra ties: the tubercular-looking youths, the fat old men in beach shorts, the terrifying Zio Bernardino (Bernardino Terracciano) who rasps veiled warnings from a tracheotomy-scarred throat.
Garrone films in the kind of locations that are the Camorra's real terrain, notably a housing project with many apartments blasted or burned out. Little wonder that he has compared Gomorrah to a war film: this could be Beirut or Sarajevo at the height of their conflicts. Marco Onorato's camera creeps nervously, as if in fear of ambush, along the estate's walkways, where drugs are dealt to clamouring crowds and the walls resound with dialect cries from lookouts: we get a terrific sense of the noise of crime.
An especially sobering note comes in the end titles, which reveal how vast the Camorra's business is, how noxious its effects, and how involved it is in legit mainstream concerns: the organisation has apparently invested in the Twin Towers reconstruction. But for Garrone's characters, the Camorra is about daily life: the business of living or dying, paying your staff's wages, killing a neighbour. There's no romantic Mafia-movie stuff here, no noble omerta – just poverty, squalor and contempt for life. Matteo Garrone's film has the authentic ring of reportage, and by comparison, Tony Montana might as well have walked out of Tolkien.

More than ever, executives in information technology and lines of business are working to meet the increasing demands for data that can provide insights to drive competitive advantage for their organisations. From July to December 2012, SAS conducted an industrywide survey with executives across Australia & New Zealand to understand how today's enterprises are managing the big data phenomenon. It's become clear that if you are not looking for the value in big data, your competition is.
The results from our recent study reveal that 88 per cent of organisations agree that big data holds the key to competitive advantage over the next two years and 88 per cent of organisations also recognise the importance of applying analytics to real-time decision making.
Despite this acknowledgement of the importance of big data the survey also found that:
- 41 per cent of organisations lack the skills to derive value from big data
- 82 per cent of organisations have zero to satisfactory capabilities to collect, analyse and derive value from big data
- 82 per cent of organisations don't have a data management strategy to collect and analyse data from existing sources.

Foreign Relations
In international relations 2003 was largely consumed by German efforts to come in from the cold after Berlin's lone rejection of military action against Iraq. The move had angered the U.S. and isolated Germany from its European allies at a time when the European Union was working on a common foreign policy.
Help came on January 22 during a trip Schröder took to Paris to celebrate 40 years of Franco-German cooperation. For months France had left open the option to join the U.S. in a military campaign. It had also backed an initial resolution of the UN Security Council authorizing a possible war on Iraq. Now France joined Germany in an outright rejection of a military campaign. The agreement was a historic turning point; over the years the U.S. had had periodic spats with its European allies, but never before had Europe's two most powerful countries teamed up to challenge Washington's top foreign priority, in this case the removal of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. The German-French understanding also split European nations between those that embraced the U.S. plans and those that opposed them. The U.S. was dismayed. In January, U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld dismissed Germany and France as part of an "old Europe" that was losing in importance to a "new Europe," consisting of the new Western-allied countries such as Poland and Hungary, which supported the Iraq invasion. Foreign Minister Fischer returned the insult by telling Rumsfeld at a security conference in Munich that he was "not convinced" by U.S. reasoning for intervention. France and Germany actively lobbied other nations to join the antiwar camp. In February Russia's foreign minister began to echo France in threatening to veto a second UN resolution. Late that month Schröder traveled to Moscow to lobby Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin to side with the Franco-German alliance. Russia eventually did so, boosting the international opposition to U.S. plans. Also in February Merkel went to Washington. U.S. leaders expressed their bitterness about Germany's stance and talked about moving U.S. military bases from Germany to friendlier and cheaper countries in Eastern Europe.
When hostilities began in Iraq in late March, Germany was awash in peace demonstrations. Tens of thousands protested what they saw as an American violation of international law and demanded that Schröder deny the U.S. overflight rights and use of its military installations in Germany.
In April the leaders of France, Germany, Belgium, and Luxembourg held talks on boosting defense cooperation and reducing Europe's military reliance on the U.S. Participants said the plans were not directed against NATO but aimed to strengthen the European pillar in the transatlantic alliance. Also in April Schröder made his first attempt to patch up differences within Europe and with the U.S. by speaking out in support of the removal of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. (See Biographies.) In a speech to Parliament, the German leader said he hoped the war would end swiftly with "a victory for the allies." A month later, during a visit to Berlin by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell, he backed a U.S. push to lift sanctions against Iraq. Soon afterward Schröder shook hands with U.S. Pres. George W. Bush at a meeting of the Group of Eight in Évian, France. A more formal meeting of the two leaders came in September in New York, where Bush lobbied UN member states for financial and military help in Iraq. Yet differences continued about Iraq's postwar affairs. Germany, along with France and Russia, rejected U.S. pleas to share among states the burden of Iraqi reconstruction. An American draft resolution before the UN called for a multinational force to help bring order to Iraq. Germany and others wanted the UN to play a greater role than foreseen in the U.S. proposal. They also argued that Washington should hand over political authority to Iraqis as soon as possible.

POCATELLO Two men admitted they tried to lure two young girls from Idaho to Hollywood, Calif., with the intent to have illicit sexual conduct with them.
U.S. Attorney Wendy J. Olson said Wayne Allen Ginnis, 29, of Seattle, Wash., and James Russell Ashley, 47, of Augusta, Georgia, entered guilty pleas in federal court Tuesday.
Today's guilty plea brings justice to two men who sought to exploit young Idaho girls, said Olson. State and federal law enforcement acted quickly and decisively to prevent an even more horrific act of sexual exploitation of children. I applaud their efforts. I also caution parents to be aware of sexual predators seeking to entice and endanger children over the Internet. Responsible adults must ensure that Internet communications are not used to lure children into becoming victims.
In their plea agreements entered last month, the two men also admitted sending the girls, ages 12 and 13, bus tickets. On May 2, 2011, the girls boarded a bus for California. They were intercepted by police in St. George, Utah, and returned to their parents.
Ashley and Ginnis admitted they then intended to travel from Hollywood to Idaho to meet the girls and have sex with them. Ginnis was arrested in Las Vegas, while Ashley was arrested in Idaho. Both men admitted they knew the ages of the girls.
Authorities say the men first made contact with the two girls over the Internet, and communicated with their young victims by cell phone and texting.
Ashley and Ginnis face up to 30 years in prison and a maximum fine of $250,000.
They are scheduled to be sentenced on August 27, 2012 at the federal courthouse in Pocatello.
The case was investigated by the Pocatello Police Department, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshals Service.

The McKern Family NBA Predictions
The NBA 2014/15 season is so close you can count the days on one hand…
*Checks calendar and counts day on hand*
Now that I've clarified you can actually count the amount of days on your hand let's get down to why you are reading this right now.
As is often the case with this time of year a lot of people begin putting out predictions for the season ahead and try to decipher what is actually going to happen next.
The problem with doing this is that 99% of the time we are left with egg on our faces.
Bill Simmons last season predicted Phoenix to finish bottom 3 in the west and look what happened there.
My fellow podcast host, Pumpa, said that the Wizards wouldn't be any good and look where that got him.
After writing those previous sentences I'm now questioning why the hell I'm even writing this article, want to know why I'm writing this? Because making these predictions is one of the most fun things you can do and as humans it's insanely hard not to try and predict what is coming.
The beauty of this article today is that I'm bringing on board my Miami Heat loving cousin, Tim McKern. A kid who I spent a lot of my childhood growing up with and someone who I can guarantee we will be hearing a lot more of in future.
Strap yourselves in and prepare for some absolutely ridiculous predictions, yes the normal ones will be in there but the rest will be a mixed bag of questions.

Re: how do i make it warm
Basically just using the bottle as the body of the stove, think 20lb propane cylinder. Cut a hole in the top add air intake and door and off you go. Not a bad idea so long as the cylinder is well vented first. A precaution friends used to take was to remove the valve assembly, after letting it sit for a week or two put it on a fire for a while to burn off paint and any propane.
check out the Kandle Heeter. Eccentric guy, but the multiple pots over a candle or two makes a lot of sense, will trap and release heat very efficiently.
The link there shows how to make it pretty easily I think.
I'll be making a ducted version of the heat stick, drawing hot air from the cabin top and circulating it at foot level, but that only works when you've already got heat in the cabin.

Espoma Organic Weed Control & Weed Killer
Espoma Earth Tone 4n1 Weed Control
This item is not currently available.
Espoma weed control and premium organic lawn foods give the gardener peace of mind; preventing unsightly weeds and feeding with long lasting organics that nourish the soil as well as the grass so your lawn is more resistant to heat, drought, and other stress. Each is comprised of natural or food safe synthetic active ingredients that do the job and then degrade into inert compounds. And because the product is all natural, it is safe for your family, your pets, and the environment.
Model Choices
Espoma Earth Tone 4n1 Weed Control
Espoma Oragnic Weed Preventer 900
Earth-tone 4n1 Weed Control knocks down weeds fast and keeps them from coming back for up to six weeks. Earth-tone 4n1 Weed Control consists of a unique, patented combination of actives. Ammoniated soap knocks down foliage in hours, even in cool temperatures. Maleic Hydrazide, a food safe, synthetic anti-sprouting agent, prevents the weed from regrowing. This active is approved for the application to foods for human consumption such as potatoes and onions to prevent them from sprouting in transit. It's important to remember that this is a non selective weed control and it will harm desirable plants that are treated. Use care to only apply to undesirable weeds, grasses, moss, or algae. For best results thorough coverage is important. Spray until the foliage is wet. Use any time during the year. Areas can be re-sown five days after treatment. Prevents plant re-growth for up to 6 weeks. Does not stain concrete or asphalt.

21 May 2012 08:57 [Source: ICIS news]
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Japanese chemical group Asahi Kasei said on Monday it aims to record yen (Y) 2,000bn ($25bn) in sales revenue and Y200bn in operating profit for its 2015 fiscal year.
"The operating climate for the Asahi Kasei Group is a challenging one, with global economic stagnation, a high exchange value of the yen and elevated prices of feedstocks and fuel," the company said in a statement.
Asahi Kasei said it aims to expand its businesses in order to meet these challenges, while implementing measures to improve its earnings structure.
In the near term, the company aims to accelerate the growth of its critical care businesses and other products in the US, while planning to establish a "world-leading position" in critical care in the long-term.
Asahi Kasei set aside Y1,000bn in its 2011–2015 master plan to be used for expansions, including operations in fields related to the environment and energy, residential living and healthcare.
Of this amount, some Y100bn was used in its 2011 fiscal year for the expansion of existing operations, including a new solution-polymerised styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) unit in Singapore, as well as an additional acrylonitrile (ACN) plant and a new acetonitrile facility in South Korea.
In April 2012, Asahi Kasei completed a tender offer process to acquire ZOLL Medical Corporation – a US manufacturer of critical care devices – for $2.21bn (€1.72bn).
The company's net sales rose by 1.1% year on year to Y1,573bn in the full-year period ending 31 March this year, while operating income fell by 15.2% year on year to Y104.3bn, the company said in a statement.

Army must act wisely to restore Thailand
Published on May 28, 2014 7:16 AM
A repeat cycle of military takeover and suspended liberties in Thailand will deepen its class cleavage, making it plausible that rule enforced by the gun could become its default condition. How this will save democracy for those who want to practise and honour it is an open question. Army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha's justification for assuming control was to reform the country's political system, its economy and society. But how this is to be done to everyone's liking remains an open question.
Months of stand-still when the Puea Thai government was made a prisoner of its own mandate by an unmolested insurrection cried out for decisive action to be taken. A brief period of military rule might even be welcomed by sections of the population tired of the carnival-style theatrics. Thailand was not just hurting, it was going down. The economy is tipping into recession, after a steep first-quarter contraction. Subversives given free rein by state organs, including the judiciary, made a nonsense of the law. Significant, therefore, was General Prayuth's warning to agitators of all political stripes not to stoke tensions, after he received the king's imprimatur for his mission.
But the army must never overstay its welcome. Elections should be called as soon as conditions are stabilised and the suspended constitution is reworked in a non-partisan consultation. Spontaneous protests despite a ban are a sign of a new political consciousness among young people unaffiliated to any constituency. In the north of the country, seething resentments over the removal of a government the rural people consider to be fair are a powder keg. The gun is not a solution in these circumstances.
Above all, the junta has to be impartial. Certain acts taken in the first days have been troubling. The leadership of the Puea Thai party and its "red shirts" grassroots network appear to have been neutered. Critics of the palace-leaning elites are being read the riot act. Promising rice farmers their unpaid accounts with the Yingluck Shinawatra government will be settled soon is the right thing to do, but cynics wonder if it is not intended also to undercut Puea Thai's support base.

While all the Chanel Les Exclusifs fragrances are outstanding in their own unique way, I find Bel Respiro to be the least memorable.
Perhaps it is the fact that green scents don't usually appeal to me, with Chanel No.19 being a scent that I truly despised and wished to forget. Bel Respiro although similar in style to No.19 is much nicer, more complex and a touch more floral.
While crisp, dewy and green, Bel Respiro reminds me of the smell of a fernery after a heavy downpour of rain. It has a delightful sense of watery greeness and subtle herbs.
There are some floral nuances throughout the composition that are more like wilted, soggy blooms rather than the bright, lively, overtly scented ones.
The leather features quite prominently during the heart and towards the drydown, however I don't find this note as nauseating as the leather clashing with the green notes in Chanel No.19.
Bel Respiro is the essence of Spring in a bottle, evoking the sense of a pretty sun-shower. Despite being marketed towards women, I find this fragrance equally wearable for men. The powdery aspect in the drydown is the only thing about Bel Respiro that I'd call feminine.
It's a fairly polite scent, in other words not as bold and daring as let's say Coromandel, No.22 and 31 Rue Cambon. However, with that being said, I find it to be a nice additive to the green floral category, one that I can tolerate and enjoy.

Budget director explains 2015 state spending plan
By Current State
Governor Rick Snyder unveiled his budget for the 2015 fiscal year yesterday. Overall, the plan increases state gross spending by 2% over this year's budget, with increases in education and educator pensions, the rainy day fund, roads, and many more.
Current State talked with Michigan's Budget Director John Nixon about the budget process.
Nixon says that the economy is making a comeback and they have the surplus to invest in areas like higher education. From looking over the budget for several months, they believe they have come up with a very balanced approach.

Each year SSE SWALEC awards cricket clubs from across Wales a share of £10,000 as part of its Cricket Development Fund.
The fund was first introduced in 2011 to provide matched funding for Welsh grassroots cricket clubs. In association with Cricket Wales and Glamorgan Cricket, it aims to grow one of Wales' favourite national sports at a local level.
We've helped more than 50 clubs invest in everything from waterhogs and cover sheets to sight screens and score boxes to date.
The Community Development Fund is our way of giving something back to local cricket clubs across Wales. These eleven clubs don't always have access to the funds needed for new equipment and pitch maintenance so we're happy that we're able to help these eleven clubs with this essential funding.
If your cricket club is interested in receiving a share of £10,000 next season (2015), please e-mail Kerry Lloyd on email@example.com for more information on the application and selection process.
SSE SWALEC signed a 10-year partnership with Glamorgan Cricket and the iconic SWALEC stadium in 2008. The home of Welsh cricket has hosted some exceptionally exciting international fixtures which has helped put elite cricket in Wales on the map!

Uttar Pradesh has 121 big power consumers who have Rs 1 crore or more worth pending electricity bills. The total power bill that these consumers have to pay is Rs 1007.01 crore. Noida Power Company Limited (NPCL) of Greater Noida tops the list with Rs 276.72 crore outstanding. The revealation came to the fore during the reply by the state government on a question asked by Congress MLA Anugrah Nariain Singh and BJP MLA Upendra Tiwari during question hour in UP Assembly on Wednesday.
Interestingly, several of the answer sheets given to the mediapersons didn't have the answer to this query. The answer was also not uploaded online.
As per the government reply, Paschimanchal Power Corporation (West UP) accounts for maximum chunk of the total dues to be recovered — Rs 567.54 crore, while the least is to be recovered by Kanpur Electric Supply Company (Kesco) at Rs 38.93 crore.
Dues to be recovered by Madhyanchal amounts to Rs 170.10 crore while Purvanchal has to recover Rs 90.63 crore and Dakkshinanchal has to recover Rs 139.81 crore. None of the defaulters has less than a crore pending against them.
Jal Sansthan office at Aishbagh in Lucknow owes Rs 91.35 crore to UPPCL. Similarly, 13 institutions under LESA's jurisdiction collectively owe Rs 112.12 crore. In the same way, six private institutions in Bareilly have dues pending against them to the tune of Rs 21.15 crore. Five factories in Meerut have to collectively pay Rs 11.05 crore, six factories of Moradabad have to pay Rs 31.11 crore and 18 factories have to pay Rs 168.43 crore as electricity dues.
Similarly, in Saharanpur region, 27 factories owe Rs 63.79 crore, 3 factories in Varanasi, which is now Prime Minister Narendra Modi's constituency, have to pay Rs 8.4 crore and four factories in Gorakhpur have to pay Rs 38.6 crore. Mirzapur's joint hospital at Anpara has Rs 4.18 crore dues pending against it. Similarly, Churk Cement Corporation Colony has dues to the tune of Rs 20.17 crore.
Gurma Unit Colony in Mirzapur owes Rs 3.68 crore as dues. In Allahabad, Mau Aima and four other weaving units together have Rs 15.55 crore as dues against them.
In Faizabad, 3 power units have Rs 5.23 crore as dues pending. Similarly, against four units of Lucknow dues pending are Rs 31.6 crore.
Interestingly, Estate Department's Vidhayak Niwas at Darulshafa has 1.45 crore dues as electricity bill. Indira Bhawan housing major state government offices as Rs 2.69 crore as due pending, Jawahar Bhawan has Rs 1.96 crore, Mantri Awas (Bahukhandi) has Rs 1.49 crore and VVIP guest house on Meera Bai Marg has dues pending to tune of Rs 1.24 crore.
BJP MLA Upendra Tiwari later talking to TOI said that this has exposed the Samajwadi Party government which wastes no time in putting farmers behind bars if they have pending dues in thousands while has failed to take action against these defaulters. Had they realised the pending bills from these 121 defaulters, several villages might have got electricity, Tiwari further said.

Celtic captain and Scotland midfielder Scott Brown insists he will not be starstruck when his nation meets Brazil this weekend.
The 25-year old and his Scotland teammates are currently preparing for Sunday's encounter with the world's number five team at London's Emirates Stadium but Brown says that there is no point thinking about how good the Brazilians can be and would rather focus on his own team.
"When you think of Brazil you think of the frightening players they've had throughout the years," he told SunSport.
"I've played against a few before like Ronaldinho and Kaka.
"Just to be out on the same pitch as these guys is amazing, because as a player you want to play against the world's best players.
"But you can't fear them - when I step out onto the park against anybody I want to win.
"It doesn't matter who I'm up against.
"It could be a Sunday League team or one of the best teams in the world like Brazil, I look at it in the same way.
"The way I see it is that I want to prove I'm just as good as these guys. It's about showing you deserve to be on the same park."

Therese Willkomm, Author,Assistive Technology Solutions in Minutes, Director New Hampshire's State Assistive Technology Program with the Institute of Disability at the University of New Hampshire
Smartphones, tablets and computers could help seniors stay connected to their communities and families. But a hefty price tag, steep learning curves, and designs meant for younger eyes and hands could keep some older adults from logging on. Guests discuss the best ways for seniors to tackle new technology, and how devices can be adapted to accommodate older users.

What they're saying about State of the Union
Wednesday - 2/13/2013, 7:07am EST
The Associated Press
Some reaction from members of Congress to the President Barack Obama's State of the Union address Tuesday night:
"Presidents in both parties -- from John F. Kennedy to Ronald Reagan -- have known that our free enterprise economy is the source of our middle class prosperity. But President Obama? He believes it's the cause of our problems, that the economic downturn happened because our government didn't tax enough, spend enough and control enough. And, therefore, as you heard tonight, his solution to virtually every problem we face is for Washington to tax more, borrow more and spend more." -- Florida Sen. Marco Rubio, in the official Republican response.
"Our focus must remain on creating jobs, building up our middle class and supporting families who struggle. There are so many proven ways to accomplish this -- many of which were mentioned tonight. We need to boost our workforce by investing in education so students can afford to get a degree or the best training for the jobs of today and tomorrow. We need to invest in manufacturing to help local businesses grow and hire more workers. And we need to invest in infrastructure to make sure our country and state have the transportation and technology to compete globally." -- Sen. Jay Rockefeller, D-W.Va.
"Each year the president has promised, pledged and pivoted, but American families continue to confront persistently high unemployment, rising health care costs and the prospect of losing more of their hard-earned paychecks to tax increases." -- Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas.
"I support the president in his determination to advance the rights of all Americans. Issues such as immigration, gun control and election reform must be addressed this Congress. We cannot sit idly by and allow the rights of individuals to be denied by discriminatory laws." -- Rep. Alcee Hastings, D-Fla.
"Once again President Obama failed to look the American people in the eye and tell them the truth about our perilous financial condition or the egregious waste of taxpayer dollars that occurs every day. Excessive debt is pulling down growth, destroying jobs and incomes and threatening every American worker. The president's policies are creating dependency and poverty." -- Sen. Jeff Sessions, R-Ala.
"The president laid out his vision for a safer, more inclusive and more prosperous America. House Democrats are united in our commitment to create jobs by growing the middle class, to fix our broken immigration system and to protect our kids by reducing gun violence. Unfortunately, tea party House Republicans continue to stand for extremism and chronic chaos, blocking these important solutions and leaving the middle class out in the cold. " -- Rep. Steve Israel, D-N.Y., chairman of House Democrats' campaign arm.

Metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from a tumor and travel to distant parts of the body—the most dreaded event for a cancer patient. It is a mystery why some cells are able to travel through the body while others are not.
Our goal is to put an end to breast cancer wherever it persists.

On Wednesday, March 18, The New York Times featured a front page story on a study published in this week's "Journal of the American Medical Association" (JAMA).
While breast cancer outcomes have continued to improve and women are living longer after a breast cancer diagnosis, the goal of research has to be no diagnosis at all — preventing cancer from occurring in the first place.
Breast cancer knows no gender. According to the American Cancer Society, about 1 in every 1,000 men will be diagnosed in their lifetime.

Electric sanders
Hi I am wondering how good the dust collector on an
electric sander works.Would it work good enough to
do drywall work in a living room without worring about
dust getting in to our computer,stereo,tv.and just
making a mess.
Or am I dreaming.
Thank's Doug
You're pretty much dreaming. Cover everything in painters plastic (make sure that it's all off) and hook a shopvac to the sander. You'll still have some dust to contend with, just not as much.

Latest June 2008 Midwest floods Stories
As flood threat increases, so does the need for donations WASHINGTON, May 9, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Forecasters are predicting catastrophic flooding may occur along the Mississippi River in the next few days, and the American Red Cross is ramping up to help people along the river as efforts continue to assist thousands of people in tornado-ravaged communities across the South.
MADISON, Wis., July 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Alliant Energy Corporation announced today that the estimated impact of last month's unprecedented flooding in its service territory will reduce its utility business earnings per share by approximately $0.20 in 2008.
WINFIELD, Mo. _ Sandbagging at the squishy Pin Oak levee was the latest stand Monday in the struggle to keep the flooding Mississippi River at bay. A muskrat burrow led to a levee leak the size of a fire hydrant's flow and, through a bit of luck, the remedy, authorities said.
By Cheryl Wittenauer Associated Press FOLEY, Mo. -- Amid the battle to hold back the swollen Mississippi River, some towns in northeastern Missouri and Illinois got an unwelcome surprise Saturday as river levels rose higher than projected.
By MONICA DAVEY By Monica Davey The New York Times CANTON, Mo. The levees along the Mississippi River offer a patchwork of unpredictable protections. Some are tall and earthen, others aging and sandy, and many along its tributaries uncataloged by federal officials.
By The Associated Press FORT ATKINSON, Wis. (AP) - Gov.
By The Janesville Gazette, Wis. Jun. 20--MADISON -- Gov. Jim Doyle planned to meet Friday with those affected by floods and storms in Jefferson County. The county is not one of the 19 that have been declared federal disaster areas.
U.S. President George Bush toured the flood-stricken Iowa communities of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Thursday as federal officials discussed recovery plans. Air Force One landed at The Eastern Iowa Airport after 11 a.m.
By The Associated Press GULFPORT (AP) - The rising Mississippi River interrupted travel on two bridges between Iowa and Illinois and threatened thousands of acres of farmland Tuesday.
By Maria Sudekum Fisher Associated Press GULFPORT, Ill. -- The rising Mississippi River broke through a levee Tuesday, forcing authorities to rescue about a half-dozen people by helicopter, boat and four-wheeler as floodwaters moved south into Illinois and Missouri.

Pivot, network for millennials, tries to change TV
Thursday - 3/28/2013, 4:56am EDT
AP Television Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- Pivot is the name of a TV channel aimed at 15-to-34-year-olds who want to change the world.
In the process, they could help Pivot change the television business.
Announced last December, the new venture was officially unveiled Wednesday at a news conference disclosing program and distribution details as well as its name and August 1 sign-on date. It initially will be available in more than 40 million homes.
Pivot is a division of Participant Media, founded in 2004 by entrepreneur-philanthropist Jeff Skoll, who helped mastermind eBay. Since then, Participant has produced more than 40 fiction and nonfiction films (with seven Academy Award wins and 35 nominations) that include "The Help," ''Charlie Wilson's War," ''Food, Inc.," ''An Inconvenient Truth" and Steven Spielberg's recent "Lincoln."
The company is dedicated "to creating lasting sustainable change through the power of storytelling," said Pivot president Evan Shapiro, "and now we're bringing that to TV.
"The mandate of Pivot is entertainment that inspires social change and our target is millennials, but other than that we are a general entertainment network with all types of content: drama, comedy, talk and documentaries," said Shapiro, who before joining Participant served as president of IFC and Sundance Channel, and executive-produced such documentaries and series as "This Film Is Not Yet Rated" and the Peabody Award-winning "Brick City" and "Portlandia."
Pivot will program around the clock (no long-form infomercials padding fringe periods). Documentaries will fill much of the schedule, including those from the Participant library, film festivals and world premieres.
Acquired series include "Friday Night Lights," the inspiring high school football drama, and "Farscape," a cult classic previously aired on the Sci-Fi Channel about a diverse group of passengers of a space vessel forced to work together to survive.
Pivot also will introduce its viewers to "Little Mosque on the Prairie," a long-running Canadian sitcom focused on a Muslim community in a fictional Saskatchewan prairie town. "It has never been seen in the United States because the word 'mosque' is in the title," Shapiro said.
Pivot plans 300 hours of new programming its first year.
New series will include an audience-collaborated variety show produced and hosted by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, a talk-reality show with Meghan McCain (daughter of former presidential candidate Sen. John McCain), and, from writer Craig Pearce ("Moulin Rouge" and the upcoming "The Great Gatsby"), a fanciful drama titled "Will," about a young, as-yet-unproven William Shakespeare that mashes up his era with modern times (and is billed as a blend of "Deadwood," ''8 Mile" and "Shakespeare in Love").
"Jersey Strong" is a docu-series from the producers of "Brick City" that focuses on two unconventional families in Newark, N.J. -- a man and woman raising children and and mentoring young people who themselves are members of two rival gangs, and two women in a same-sex relationship who run a law firm.
Each night the network will air "TakePart Live," a talk show whose topics will be chosen earlier in the day by viewers going online to TakePart.com, Participant Media's social action hub.
Pivot is entering into a programing and marketing relationship with Rolling Stone magazine, and will co-produce 10 documentaries with Univision, which will air each film in Spanish while Pivot airs the film in English.
A slogan of Pivot is "It's Your Turn," which addresses the 27 million-member audience segment the network has dubbed "passionate millennials."
Not only is the new network gearing its programs to this group, it's also tailoring its distribution strategy to how they consume media, Shapiro said.
Reports are rampant that younger audiences are shunning traditional TV in favor of YouTube videos on the Internet, and that they are "cutting the cord" of cable programming as a moneysaving move or because they deem TV an outmoded way to watch.
Pivot's research has found otherwise.
"There is no such thing as a cord-cutter," Shapiro said. "They all have broadband -- and it's bringing them everything they want, including video. So we decided to reframe the conversation."
Pivot has identified two main groups within its prospective audience: cable TV subscribers who watch "television" across multiple platforms, and viewers who subscribe only to broadband.
Pivot will accommodate both groups.
"It's the first channel that's available both through traditional pay-television bundling, and via your broadband provider as a stand-alone (service)," he said. For an extra monthly fee (described as less than the cost of a cup of diner coffee) through the Pivot app on any device, "subscribers will be able to take this channel, both live streaming and on-demand, with you wherever you go in the world."
