Engelbert, Duke of Carinthia
|Engelbert, Duke of Carinthia
|Uta of Passau
|Noble family
|House of Sponheim
|Engelbert I of Sponheim
|12 or 13 April 1141
Seeon Abbey
Engelbert II (died 12 or 13 April 1141) from the House of Sponheim was Margrave of Istria and Carniola from sometime between 1101 and 1107 until 1124. In 1124, he was raised to a Duke of Carinthia and Margrave of Verona which he held until his retirement in 1135.
Engelbert II was the son of Count Engelbert I of Sponheim and his wife Hedwig of uncertain descent, maybe a daughter of the Billung duke Bernard II of Saxony. He married Uta, daughter of Burgrave Ulric of Passau (died about 1099). Together they were the parents of the following children:
- Ulric I, succeeded his father in Carinthia in 1135
- Engelbert III, succeeded his father in Istria, Carniola and Kraiburg in 1124
- Henry, Bishop of Troyes in 1145
- Matilda, married Count Theobald the Great of Blois-Champagne
- Rapoto I, Count of Ortenburg in 1130 and Kraiburg in 1173
- Adelheid, Abbess of Göss in 1146
- Hartwig II, Bishop of Regensburg in 1155
- Ida, married Count William III of Nevers
About 1100 he established the County of Kraiburg on the inherited estates of his wife in Bavaria. Unlike his father, Engelbert II was a loyal supporter of the Salian dynasty. He stood as guarantor of German king Henry V at his coronation as Holy Roman Emperor in February 1111 and witnessed the Concordat of Worms with Pope Callixtus II in September 1122. In the same year his elder brother Henry IV was created Duke of Carinthia and upon his death in 1123 Engelbert II succeeded him, having already replaced Count Ulric II of Weimar as margrave in Istria and Carniola about 1107.
Engelbert II died and was buried at Seeon Abbey.

The Paphos District
Paphos town is only a 15 minute drive away and is a must for a visit. There are numerous restaurants and bars and places of historical interest to visit. It is recommended to visit the harbour area at lunch time on Sundays. It's a really friendly atmosphere with families making Sunday lunch, at one of the many restaurants, a real event.
There are also many supermarkets in and around Paphos where you can buy everything that you will need for the perfect self-catering holiday at very reasonable prices.
We chose Mandria for its beauty, charm, tranquillity and the fact that the village is still traditional and has not been commercialised. The village centre is a 5 minute walk and the beach only a 10 minute walk away. The apartment is just a 15 minute drive from Paphos and more or less the same to the two golf courses Secret Valley and Aphrodite Hills with the new Alea course only 20 minutes away. The airport is only a ten minute drive, so no long hauls from and to the airport. The whole area is very flat making walking to the village and the beach very easy and no problems for people with mobility issues. The surrounding countryside is beautiful with orange groves and farmland surrounding the village and the roads down to the beach. It is the perfect place for a quiet relaxing holiday. You will find the people of Cyprus really friendly, hospitable,very willing to help and extremely easy to do business with. Mandria also has a good number of ex-pats who are always more than willing to help and give advice.

(excerpt from soon to be published "Why Lawyers Suck and What You Can Do About It" by Melody A. Kramer)
Lawyers cannot do "simple." This complaint comes over and over again in different iterations. Lawyers write documents that are too complicated to understand. They talk to people in such complicated terms that no one can understand them. They call a 25-page document a "brief."
Truth is that lawyers don't know how to do things in a simple matter. There are several reasons for this. First, they live and work in a judicial system that is barely beyond the Stone Age in efficiency and mentality, governed by overlapping layers of multiple sets of rules and regulations that even the best and brightest minds find hard to comprehend. . . . For example, it would be easier to invade a small country than file a court document!
We live in a society where you can order a pizza, buy a movie, and order an arsenal of weapons for home delivery with a few clicks of a keyboard or on your smartphone. Lawyers, on the other hand, work within a near Stone Age legal system governed by the most complicated and overlapping set of rules, regulations, and conventions as to boggle even the most genius of legal minds.

Pitchers prove to be a hit with the bat
"Nothing compares with your first big league hit. But to do that, to get a sweep in San Francisco against a division team, that was awesome."
Latos adjustment
Latos has allowed only two runs on nine hits in 23 innings since pitching coach Darren Balsley moved the 22-year-old to the left side of the rubber.
"It gives Mat a better angle to the outside corner against right-handed hitters," explained Padres manager Bud Black, who Friday also discussed the difference between pulling Latos after eight innings in Houston last Saturday and allowing him to complete Thursday's shutout in San Francisco.
"He wasn't laboring in Houston, but he was getting close. You could see his confidence grow in the seventh and eighth in San Francisco. He threw better in the second half of the game than the first half. His last pitch was 95 (mph)."
Suicidal squeeze
The Dodgers had the bases loaded with one out in the second and pitcher Ramon Ortiz at the plate.
Ortiz bunted. Garland picked it up and started an easy 1-2-3 double play.
Garland was almost as fortunate in the third. Four straight Dodgers singles tied the game at 1-1 and left the bases loaded with no one out. James Loney popped out and Casey Blake grounded into a double play.

A study that included 38 children's hospitals nationwide shows up to 4% of hospitalized youths suffered some type of medical complication, including infections caused by medical care. Researchers say the findings show more prevention work is needed and may bring about changes in hospital safety policies and nurse-to-patient ratios.

Many of them had not been paid for nearly three years; Karnataka government clears Rs. 53 crore in dues
The payment of honoraria to all guest lecturers serving in government colleges of the State will be made at the end of every month unlike in the past when it was not paid even at the end of the academic year.
There are nearly 900 posts of teaching staff which have remained vacant for years and guest lecturers have been appointed on an ad hoc basis. Most of them had not been paid for nearly three years and the new government has cleared the dues amounting to nearly Rs. 53 crore. Efforts are now on to ensure that the honoraria to nearly 10,000 guest lecturers are paid at the end of every month similar to the payment of salaries to the other teaching staff. The payments will be made directly to their respective bank account.
Minister for Higher Education R.V. Deshpande told The Hindu that the aim was to create an adequate knowledge wealth. Towards this end, the financial outlay for higher education had been substantially raised — from 11.87 per cent (Rs. 2,087 crore) in 2012–13 to 17.13 per cent (Rs. 3,243 crore) for 2013–14, an increase of Rs. 1,156 crore in a single calendar year. In another few years, the allocation to the education sector would be raised to 30 per cent.
There are 362 government-run first-grade degree colleges in the State apart from 317 aided degree colleges and 1,743 private unaided colleges.
Apart from filling a majority of the vacant posts of teaching staff — an order for recruitment has been issued to the Karnataka Public Service Commission for the purpose, the government had also created additional posts of teaching staff (2,359) and non-teaching staff (2,399) to provide quality education.
Mr. Deshpande said there were nearly 70 lakh youth in the State in the age group of 18 to 25 and only 17 lakh of them had enrolled for higher education, including those admitted to medical and engineering colleges. However, compared with the national average of 21 per cent of the youth pursuing higher education (gross enrolment ratio), the State average is higher at 24 per cent and the aim now was to take it to 30 per cent by 2020.
Further, there was also regional disparity in the density of educational institutions. Twenty of the 30 districts were educationally backward and the gross enrolment ratio in them was way below the national average. This included the 39 most backward taluks identified by the D.M. Nanjundappa Committee which went into the subject of regional imbalances.
Meanwhile, efforts are also under way to streamline the process of appointing guest lecturers in government-run institutions and an online system has been put in place to ensure a higher degree of transparency. When applications were called recently, nearly 34,908 candidates responded and even indicated the college and district of their preference. A large number of selected teachers have already commenced work. In the past, guest lecturers were appointed long after the commencement of the academic year.
Varsity trifurcation
On the proposed trifurcation of the Bangalore University, the Higher Education Minister said the matter was pending before Governor H.R. Bhardwaj, who is also the Chancellor of the university. There were administrators, academics and students who were for and against the trifurcation of the university. The matter was not before the government at the present juncture, he said.

(Melbourne) – Ozarka Kids Academy assisted with the planting of trees during the city of Melbourne's Arbor Day Celebration. The celebration took place on April 30, 2015, at Ozarka College in Melbourne, Arkansas.
Prior to the ceremony, students of the Kids Academy learned about the different parts of a tree, how trees are important to our environment, and they drew pictures that were showcased during the ceremony. Additionally, the students also enjoyed a special appearance by Smokey the Bear!
*Photo Caption: Students from Ozarka Kids Academy assist with the planting of trees during Melbourne's Arbor Day Celebration.
from the Baxter County Sheriff's Office
The Sheriff's Office is notifying the public that a Level 2 Registered Sex Offender (moderate risk to re-offend with community notification justified) has changed addresses and moved to a new location in Baxter County.
OLD ADDRESS: 236 Garden Terrace, #2
Mountain Home, Arkansas 72653
NEW ADDRESS: 1414 Benton Street
Mountain Home, Arkansas 72653
The offender was convicted of two counts of Sexual Assault in the Second Degree on 10/29/2008.

(Des Moines) (AP) – Egg prices surged to a record on Friday, a month after bird flu was first detected in the chicken flock in Iowa, the nation's leading egg producer.
Midwest large eggs reached $2.32 a dozen.
Rick Brown, a senior vice president for Urner Barry, a commodity market analyst says that's a 95 percent increase in the month since bird flu first hit Iowa chickens. He says the previous record was $2.27 set on Dec 4.
Eggs used to make ice cream, mayonnaise and other processed foods set a record Friday of $2.13 a dozen, up 238 percent from the selling price of April 22 around the date Iowa's first chicken farm tested positive.
More than 21 million of Iowa's egg-laying hens have been killed.
(Marshfield) (AP) – A southwest Missouri man is charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 22-year-old Springfield woman.
The Webster County Prosecuting Attorney on Friday charged Kevin Newman in the death of Ashley Onescu. She was last seen June 30, 2014, in Springfield getting into a car with two men she knew. Mushroom hunters found her remains outside Fordland last month.
Newman is currently jailed in Greene County on unrelated charges. His bail is set at $1 million.
Online court records do not indicate that Newman has an attorney.
(Jefferson City) (AP) – A Missouri man sentenced to life without parole for marijuana-related offenses is eligible for parole Friday after Gov. Jay Nixon commuted his sentence.
Nixon's action means 62-year-old Jeff Mizanskey will be eligible for parole immediately. Mizanskey has served more than two decades in prison after being sentenced and convicted as a persistent drug offender under Missouri law that's since been changed.
His son, 37-year-old Chris Mizanskey, said he was in awe at the news and planned to go see his father in the morning.
"It's amazing," Mizanskey said. "To be able to talk to him, to be able to sit here and have a conversation with him. To have my son sit on his lap, for him to be a part of his grandkid's life, our lives, my whole family. I mean really words can't even describe it."
Jeff Mizanskey had two previous felony convictions for marijuana-related offenses when he was sentenced in 1996 to life without parole for a third felony offense. At the time, the law allowed a sentence of life without parole for people with three felony drug convictions and has since been changed.
Police said Mizanskey conspired to sell six pounds of pot to a dealer connected to Mexican drug cartels. Nixon said in a statement that none of the offenses were violent or involved selling to children.
"My action provides Jeff Mizanskey with the opportunity to demonstrate that he deserves parole," Nixon said.
Mizanskey's previous felonies were for possession and sale of marijuana in 1984 and possession in 1991. Family members, lawmakers and advocates for marijuana legalization have campaigned for the Missouri man's freedom. Mizanskey was the only person in Missouri serving a life sentence without any possibility for parole for nonviolent marijuana-related offenses.
Nixon also on Friday pardoned five nonviolent offenders he said had completed their sentences and demonstrated an ability to turn their lives around.
Nixon pardoned Michael Derrington, a substance abuse counselor who had a misdemeanor marijuana possession conviction; Nicole Lowe, a loan officer who was convicted of misdemeanor stealing; Bill Holt, a former school bus driver convicted of misdemeanor non-support; Doris Atchison, who was convicted of misdemeanor stealing; and Earl Wolf, who was convicted of misdemeanor burglary and larceny.
(Mountain Home) – Michael Schwarz of Conway uses photography to preserve the memories and history of Arkansas places which are steadily disappearing from the landscape. Schwarz, creator of the AbandonedArkansas.com website, will be the guest speaker for the May 26 meeting of the Baxter County Historical and Genealogical Society.
"My interest in abandoned structures started at a young age," says Schwarz, "when I first viewed the film Titanic." The images of the remains of the ship at the bottom of the Atlantic "stirred my emotions for abandoned places," Schwarz says. His interest led him to explore an abandoned circus in Oklahoma " to see how to build a short film around this interesting site. This led me to other abandoned structures."
A television newscast in 2012 reported a fire at the abandoned Dunjee, Oklahoma High School, a place Schwarz had visited many times before. He went to the school to photograph the remaining ruins of the building and met the widow of the former principal. "Her story evoked strong emotions because, through her tears, she revealed this building was the last tangible memory which remained of her husband. This story changed my perspective of abandoned buildings from this point forward," Schwarz says. "I started to realize they weren't just buildings but places that hold history and valuable memories for many people."
When Michael Schwarz enrolled at the University of Central Arkansas in Conway, he wanted to do more than just share his photographs with friends on social media, so he created the AbandonedArknansas.com website. The site now documents over 300 locations in Arkansas and Oklahoma, including Mountain Home's amusement park, Fun Mountain.
Schwarz will share his photos and his plans "to continue this diary of bygone days" with the Historical Society. The May meeting will be on Tuesday, May 26, at 6:00 p.m. in the Knox Room at the Library. There is no admission and visitors are always welcome.

Mayday Parade, Only Different
Oct 06, 2009
By The Boleyn Girl
Anywhere But Here is second full-length album from alternative rock band Mayday Parade. The Tallahassee-based group has always been set apart from others in its genre for its heartfelt vocals, well-written lyrics, and general originality. After the success of their first album, A Lesson in Romantics--the cleverly-versed follow up to the EP, Tales Told by Dead Friends--Mayday Parade was highly praised by even those who like to complain about the sameness of most alternative bands. Mayday Parade was a different thing altogether, and in a very good way. In this second album, Mayday keeps its heartbreaking vocals, but loses something in the process of rearranging itself to a broader audience.
As most fans will know, this album marks the first time Mayday Parade has had to function without the lyrical support of Jason Lancaster, and the results are somewhat mixed. As expected, the lyrics are considerably less witty and poetic and sound somewhat less sincere as a result. However, frontman Derek Sanders' voice is so earnest (and, in this album, has matured to a smooth but still unique tone)that you still "feel" the songs. The instrumentals flow very nicely, and the composition is as good as ever, but the fact remains that without Lancaster, Mayday Parade is simply a different band. I still love them, and the band still ranks as one of my absolute favorites, but I must admit that I prefer their style from A Lesson in Romantics and the Tales Told By Dead Friends EP. Their sound was fresh and individual, whereas in Anywhere But Here the band seems to be following a preset pattern laid out for most typical alternative bands. The Silence and Get Up are both tracks that sound unremarkable and forgettable. However, I Swear This Time I Mean It, The Memory, and Save Your Heart are highlights and reflect the style that was so winning in A Lesson In Romantics.
Overall, Anywhere But Here is a worthy buy for Mayday Parade fans, and will probably win over legions of new supporters, but those who have loved Mayday Parade from the first will be a little disappointed by the new, more common-sounding style. 3.5 stars.

Structured Songs, Lancaster Departure Take Away What I Loved Most About Mayday Parade
Oct 07, 2009
By HuskerDog
Other than absolutely loving the music, the first thing that made an impression on me concerning Mayday Parade's "A Lesson In Romantics" album was the length of some of their song titles...14, 15, even 22 words long. Most of the songs didn't have a set-in-stone structure to them, yet the soaring melodies flowed so effortlessly, the music was so powerful, the vocals were performed so passionately and the lyrics were such that they made you think real hard (and the thinking was well worth it)... that after all was said and done, I have to rate that album as my favorite alternative/punk/emo record ever.
Immediately after discovering it, I wanted more! I wanted it to go on and on forever...it was (and still is) that good. So finally, Mayday puts out "Anywhere But Here", partnering with a major label for the first time, and my excitement upon hearing the news was over the top. Now, I have to admit, I never took much time digging into the specifics of who the band members were, and I don't have the means to see them in concert. All I had were these songs I had downloaded and were playing the heck out of.
Eventually I found out that shortly after the recording of it, one of the lead singers, Jason Lancaster, had left the band. That scared me for the future of this band, because another highlight of that album was the flawless intertwining of the two lead vocalists. Since I had no physical copy, I had no idea that Jason's was the voice I had fallen in love with...so distinctive, so passionate, so incredible! That's not to put down Derek Sanders (the other lead vocalist), because he's awesome too...just not quite the emotive singer Jason is.
I've listened to this new one several times now, and while it's still good, it doesn't approach the quality of "A Lesson...". It would be difficult to label this an alternative rock album. Most of these songs are structured (verse, pre-chorus, chorus, verse, etc.) just like every other mainstream pop-rock album out there today. Most of the songs have choruses where the song title is sung and repeated (again, just like everything else out there). Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing, but when you find a band as creative with its songwriting as Mayday Parade was, you miss it when they don't follow up with their unique formula for writing (few songs on "A Lesson..." used the song title in the lyrics of the chorus). The point is, there's nothing special here to differentiate this from any other run-of-the-mill modern rock album.
I couldn't believe my ears when I heard the opener, "Kids In Love". It's almost childish. The lyrics are, to be kind, bland. Lyrics referencing young love and first kisses are heard on more than one occasion. "Bruised And Scarred" has about as cliche of a chorus as you can get. Many songs, such as "Center Of Attention", just don't have much to offer, either musically or lyrically. To be fair, not all songs sound uninspired. While the overall performance and presentation is somewhat flat and stale, some songs remind you of the 'old' Mayday Parade. The two songs with the longest titles attempt to repeat the classics from "A Lesson...". They aren't bad, but without Jason the passion just isn't there. There are several similar songs that are somewhere-in-the-middle as far as quality goes...the title track, "The Silence", "Still Breathing", "Save Your Heart"...decent songs with good harmonies and melodies. "The End" is a good song, too (relatively speaking).
If you've never heard of Mayday Parade before, and you like mainstream rock music, chances are you'll like this album. Even many Mayday fans will accept the changes a little more gracefully than me and enjoy this record for a long time to come. In no way is this an awful album...otherwise I would have only given it one star. I'm only being harsh because I know what Mayday Parade is capable of. I'd hope that Jason would hop back on the bus for the next record and all would be well, but for now he's off trying to make something of his new band, Go Radio.

Amazing... Absolutely amazing. <3
Oct 15, 2009
By Stephanie Trujillo
The new Mayday Parade cd is so amazing. I haven't even had it for a full day and I love it. The vocals are beautiful. Everyone is complaining about Jason leaving... But I think the band is still awesome. The lyrics are still meaningful and they are still very emotional. I recommend picking this cd up. My favorite song is I Swear This Time I Mean It.
I'm a huge Mayday Parade fan. <3

Anywhere But Here is anything but ordinary
Oct 16, 2009
By J. Johnston
The new Mayday Parade album, Anywhere But Here, absolutely rocks! It has everything from happy, upbeat, tunes to ballads fulls of beautifully written lyrics. These guys are amazing. I don't think I've ever heard a single song by them that wasn't instantly soothing to my ears! Anyone who buys this album will NOT be disappointed.

NOLA.com – Candice Bennatt wore her "Miss Louisiana USA" sash over a dark dress Tuesday (April 28) when she told a legislative panel at the Louisiana State Capitol her boyfriend abused her when she was 16 years old.
A decade ago the young man she thought she loved ruptured her eardrum, fractured her jaw and made her believe she would never be beautiful.
Now 26, Bennatt considers herself a survivor — not a victim, after a long road to recovery. She's a law student at Loyola's College of Law in New Orleans and will share her story this summer with a national audience while competing in Baton Rouge in one of the most widely recognized beauty pageants.

A video on YouTube claims to show "the eyes of God" peeking out from the weathered bark of a gnarly old backyard tree.
In the video, a series of photos taken of an otherwise nondescript elm are dramatically zoomed in on and the end result is to reveal a pattern in the bark which does indeed look like the eyes of a wizened old man.
But are they "the eyes of God"?
According to the narrative description on the video, the purpose of taking the pictures was to test the resolution quality of a new digital camera. It wasn't until the photos were examined in detail later on that the image of a face with "the eyes of God" was noticed.
And, apparently, the vision came at just the right moment. According to the story, the uploader had been wondering that very day whether or not God was watching his back anymore. Looks like he got his answer.
It seems this is just another example of a phenomenon known as Pareidolia, a condition in which the eyes detect familiar patterns in unrelated objects, such as the Man in the Moon or Jesus on toast. But, there are those who would argue that if God is everywhere, then why not in the bark of a tree or a slice of bread?
In the end, it all comes down to a matter of faith. The YouTuber promises to learn from the experience and look for other examples of "the eyes of God" in the world all around us. It might be interesting to watch.
Follow along by clicking here.
What do you think? Does the video show "the eyes of God"? Or is it just a tree?

Turkey Demands Israel's Respect
More than just a little bit
Suat Kiniklioglu, Turkey's "deputy chairman of external affairs" (we presume this is something like an assistant secretary of state), requests in tomorrow's International Herald Tribune that the world, particularly Europe and Israel, make a "mental shift" regarding Turkey. According to Kiniklioglu, Turkey is still treated as though it is a pawn of the Great Powers, when in reality it has emerged as a regional force in its own right. Regarding the incident from earlier this month when an Israeli diplomat deliberately (and, it should be said, unwisely) humiliated Turkey's ambassador, Kiniklioglu argues:
Israel appears to be yearning for the golden 1990s, which were the product of a very specific situation in the region. Those days are over and are unlikely to come back even if the ruling Justice and Development Party, or A.K.P., ends up out of government.
The A.K.P. has bucked Turkey's traditional rigorous secularism in favor of a modified Islamist approach to governing. He continues:
The natural uniting and bonding in Turkey over the Ayalon affair should be an eye-opener for those who believe that all would be dandy if only the A.K.P. would fall from power. Friends and foes better treat our ambassadors accordingly. Clumsy efforts to humiliate a Turkish ambassador should never be part of Israeli domestic political calculations.
Fair points all. Even so, relatively young nations with Black Sea-sized chips on their shoulders have rarely boded well for short-term international comity.

Kane Williamson's unbeaten 92 rounded off a fine day's work for New Zealand in the first Test against England at Lord's on Friday. The Black Caps ended the second day well-placed at 303 for two, just 86 runs behind England's first innings 389. Williamson and Ross Taylor (47 not out) had so far shared an unbroken stand of 155 after coming together when the tourists had lost two wickets with their score on 148.
Kobe Bryant will make next season his last with the Los Angeles Lakers after 20 years that have produced five NBA titles, Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak said. "He has indicated to me this is it," Kupchak told SiriusXM NBA Radio. The 36-year-old guard has played for the Lakers for his entire NBA career, but has been nagged by injuries in recent seasons and unable to display the form that made him a 17-time All-Star, two-time NBA scoring champion and two-time Olympic champion.

SAN ANTONIO -- It's been a year and four months since her daughter was killed. But this mother has no freedom from her grief until there's justice for the person who took her daughter's life and didn't even care enough to stop and help her.
My life will never be the same, said Linda Mares. There's no way I can stop until I have someone take responsibility, she said with tears in her eyes.
Mares' life hasn't been the same since May 25, 2011. That's the night that police say a white Ford F-150 struck and killed her daughter in the 3700 block of Roosevelt.
The next day, Mares was watching the news and though they didn't say who the victim was, she already knew in her gut that it was Betty Jane Zuniga.
It felt like an elephant sat on my chest, said Mares. Her door was closed and I was thinking she was there.
But Zuniga wasn't in her room. She was at the Medical Examiner's Office.
Mares had to call police to confirm her fears and then identify her daughter's body.
But since then there have been no arrests.
Someone will come forward, Mares said. I feel in my heart that my daughter deserves justice and so do I.
Though she says people have comforted her by telling her Zuniga is in a better place, she has no peace as long as the suspect is free.
What about me? I'm walking around like I'm dead. What if it was your child? You would want someone to come forward, said Mares. You don't have to give your name. You just have to share what you know.
She's right. You can remain anonymous when you call Crime Stoppers at 210-224-STOP. You can also submit a tip by text or online at sacrimestoppers.com.

"Loss of reproduction owing to disturbance on account of heavily-used infrastructure like highways" is one of the reasons for decline of tiger population, Environment Minister Jayanthi Natarajan said in the Lok Sabha on Monday.
She told Bhausaheb Wakchaure in a written reply that the general causes also include mortality of wild animals due to poaching, degradation of forest status outside tiger reserves owing to human pressure, livestock pressure and ecologically unsustainable land uses.
Fragmentation leading to loss of gene flow from source populations coupled with mortality of wild animals due to man-animal conflict is also creating problems in tiger population growth.
Besides lack of adequate protection, loss of forest quality in terms of prey-biomass to support large carnivores like tigers and leopards is also among one of the causes for the decline of their numbers.
The Minister also cited insurgency and law and order problems in some tiger reserves as one of the causes.
Mrs. Natarajan, however, said the country level tiger population, assessed once in every four years using the refined methodology, has shown an increasing trend.
The findings of the second countrywide assessment of the status of tigers indicate a countrywide 20 per cent increase in the number of tigers in the year 2010 with an estimated number of 1706, she said.
Keywords: Tiger population, Heavily-used infrastructure, Highways, Jayanthi Natarajan, Environment Minister

I highly recommend trying this spot out. Everything I have ordered has been fresh and delicious, from sushi rolls, to appetizers, and main course. Cant go wrong with great affordable dishes. Don't think twice... Oh yea pretty speedy delivery
Posted by Anastasiya on 02/10/2012
Always do delivery from them. Fast, the food ( and for me it is sushi) is great and it's cheap.
Posted by anonymous on 05/14/2010
We have eaten here many many times and have never been disappointed. We still can't believe that the sushi and sashimi are only $1! Don't know how they keep their prices so low, but I am glad they do. The rolls are excellent as well, as is their hot food. The only (minor) negative that I can mention is the the dining-in experience is not that great - lighting, decor, music, etc. can be better. But, I can live with it if they keep their sushi fresh and their prices low!

Absolutley addicted! Not many delicious places for sushi in Brooklyn so this is it! Always there eating my fried lobster and cali rolls...soooo good

LIMA — Once Lima Central Catholic's engine got warmed up, there wasn't much Bluffton could do to cool it off.
Three players reached double-digits to keep the LCC girls basketball team unbeaten after a 68-46 victory over visiting Bluffton on Wednesday in a nonleague game.
LCC moves to 6-0 while Bluffton falls to 4-3.
Sydney Mohler, who at 5-foot-8 is LCC's tallest player, helped outrebound Bluffton's taller team with a game-high 17 rebounds to go with her 13 points. Kayla Verhoff scored 17 points for the Thunderbirds, and Madison Stolly had 14 points.
LCC made 25-of-52 shots from the field and hit 8-of-16 3-point attempts.
"This year it's been really great having so many shooters and that has been a great tool for us to get leads in the game," LCC coach Katie Krieg said. "Last year, we lost so many of these first games by three or less points, so we were really hoping to win those close games this year. We've got everyone back and with the addition of Madison Stolly, that's really jump-started our game.
"Kayla Verhoff really stepped up tonight, and she has really stepped up in other games. Overall, Meredith (Shepherd) is such a great player for us. She's not the quickest and she's not the tallest, but she's so incredibly smart. She's such a leader for us on the court."
Bluffton stuck right with LCC for the first quarter, trailing only 14-13 heading into the second. But that's when LCC started to heat up.
The T-birds opened the second quarter by hitting 6-of-7 field-goal attempts, including four 3-pointers, to go up 30-19 with 4:04 remaining before halftime. Shepherd hit two of her 3-pointers in the stretch, finishing with nine points, and Verhoff had a 3-pointer and a bucket.
LCC cooled off a bit after that but still led 33-23 at half. Following the intermission, Mohler got hot with nine points in an 11-4 run that put her team up 46-30 with 3:37 remaining in the quarter.
"We couldn't match up with their quickness," Bluffton coach Eric Garmatter said. "Their quickness and their ability to get out in transitions just killed us. They did a good job of keeping us from getting into our offense.
"For a bunch of girls that are pretty small, they used that quickness to beat us pretty bad on the boards. Meredith (Shepherd) just seemed to be in the right spot all the time."
Along with her nine points, Shepherd led LCC with five steals while Sydney Santaguida had nine points, three steals and three assists.
Sarah Schriner turned in a nice effort for Bluffton with a team-high 14 points while Abbie Parkins added 12 points.
Bluffton entered the game following three solid victories in a row with wins over Ottoville, Fort Jennings and Delphos Jefferson.
"Tonight was just a hiccup we need to bounce back from," Garmatter said. "The Ottoville win, I know they've lost a lot but they beat us by 40 last year. For us to bounce back and beat them last week was huge."
The Pirates will get a bit of a break before trying to bounce back when Lincolnview visits Bluffton on Dec. 19.
LCC, meanwhile, doesn't have much time to celebrate. The T-birds will take on a tough foe when Lima Senior visits at 3:30 p.m. Saturday.
The Spartans, who play host to St. Ursula Academy today, are 4-1.
"That's going to be a really tough one for us, we'll see how good we are then," Krieg said. "(Guard Indiya Benjamin) is such a great player. We're just going to do what we do, which is play tough, man halfcourt defense, take care of the ball and try to handle their pressure.
"Last year we did not do a good job of handling their pressure. But we're more mature this year, we have some experience, so we're hoping that will be a whole different game for us."

When a Congress leader hints at the possibility of his party supporting a Third Front — which in Indian political parlance means a non-BJP, non-Congress formation — to keep the BJP out, and the BJP responds by dismissing the Third Front as a "failed idea" and as a "charter for chaos", it is becomes evident that what is at work is psychological war between two big parties. The Lok Sabha election has still two phases — May 7 and 12 — to go, and the question of who would form the next government and through what means will become clear only after the counting is done on May 16.
And the nature of the game is such that, every party including the likely losers, makes the claim that they will emerge winners. So, for Congress which still clings to the straw of a hope that it will lead a UPAIII government to moot the idea of a Third Front, and for the BJP which is sure it will form the government any which way to dismiss vehemently the possibility of a Third Front shows that apart from verbal fencing which is the norm during an electoral battle, they are keeping the notion of a Third Front alive, though really in a vicarious manner.
The Congress as well as the BJP prefer a bipolar polity where they are the only two players left to battle for the laurels, and they are loath to acknowledge the presence of regional political parties across the country which refuse to be pushed out of the arena. The AIADMK and the DMK might be confined to Tamil Nadu, the TDP and the TRS are restricted to Seemandhhra and Telangana respectively, the BJD and the TMC in Odisha and West Bengal, make the national political picture a little too crowded, much to the chagrin and discomfiture of the ostentatious national parties.
The BJP had learned in 1998 that it could hope to form a government not on its own but through a coalition of regional parties, and this it did through the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The Congress learned the lesson of the imperatives of coalition a little late but it did learn when it formed the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) in 2004, and it was as the leader of the UPA that it won the 2004 and 2009 Lok Sabha elections. The BJP and the Congress have literally squeezed out the space and possibility of a non-Congress, non-BJP Third Front because the potential members of the Third Front have been wooed to become part of either the BJP-led NDA or the Congress-led UPA.
The fear lingers in the hearts and minds of the Congress and the BJP that the other parties may assert themselves and refuse to be part of the two big coalitions. The ghostly existence of a Third Front, neither real nor unreal, is a salutary check on the overweening self-confidence of the BJP and the Congress that they are the only parties strutting on the national political stage. Even when the AIADMK, DMK, BJD, TDP, TMC, SP and BSP fail to form a front of their own, they keep the big two on their toes. It is this tantalising thought that keeps the communist parties of the Left Front active and alive. The Indian political chequerboard is complicated like the Chinese chequers, and that makes Indian political power games elusive if not illusive.

Electric vehicles WILL go mass market. Here's why.
November 16, 2014 08:09 AM - BOB SHETH, Electric Forum
Over the last 100 years there have been a number of attempts from electric vehicle enthusiasts to push them into the mass market. Unfortunately the vast majority of these attempts have failed for a variety of reasons, often out of the control of the market itself, but today we stand in a very different place and electric vehicles will eventually go mass-market. We hereby list five reasons why electric vehicles are here to stay in the longer term: –
There have been enormous leaps in electric vehicle technology over the last 10 years which not only offer greater efficiency but also give the driving public greater confidence. This technology continues to advance at breathtaking speed not only in the area of electric vehicles themselves but also battery technology. In many ways the development of new technologies is putting gasoline vehicles in the shadows and grabbing the headlines.
How would you feel if electric vehicles were the only ones allowed in center cities?
November 9, 2014 04:42 AM - , Electric Forum
The subject of making electric vehicles compulsory in city centres in the UK, and indeed many other areas of the world, is one which keeps popping up time and time again. The Liberal Democrat party in the UK has been pushing for greater adoption of electric vehicles within city centres and, don't shout this, a ban on diesel and petrol vehicles. This is now something of a hot topic and one which will continue to appear in the political domain as we approach general and local elections.
How would you feel about making city centres a no-go area for petrol and diesel vehicles? Is electric vehicle technology of sufficient reliability to support such a dramatic and controversial move?
Electric Vehicles and charging systems need to be moving forward in harmony
November 5, 2014 05:51 AM - BOB SHETH, Electric Forum
In many ways electric car technology jumped to far too quickly leaving behind electric vehicle charging systems which for many years have been totally inadequate. There has been major concern amongst motorists around the world that even the most technologically advanced electric vehicle would be unreliable if you are not able to charge it when and where you wanted. This has held the electric car industry for some time although thankfully governments around the world are now focusing upon electric car charging networks.
This then begs the question – could electric car chargers be the next growth industry?
A new concept in EV charging
October 8, 2014 08:07 AM - BOB SHETH, Electric Forum
There is no doubt that the EV industry is here to stay, too much money has been invested and too many people have transferred over from old-style technology. However, while EV technology itself continues to develop, efficiencies are improved and prices continue to fall, there have been ongoing concerns about recharging systems of the future. However, a company by the name of Ubitricity in Germany may well have come up with a solution which could be the answer to all our prayers!
Ford to release electric Focus
April 13, 2014 08:01 AM - BOB SHETH, Electric Forum
Ford has already confirmed plans for a new 2015 Focus Sedan although the introduction of a Ford Focus Electric car in New York next week did take some experts by surprise. While the company has been relatively successful with regards to its alternative power supply vehicles, the introduction of the Focus Electric seems to be low key to say the least. The press release which accompanied next week's launch did much to wax lyrical about the Ford Sedan but there was very little in the way of mention about the Ford Focus Electric. This has prompted speculation as to whether Ford has an "ace up its sleeve" or indeed whether it is playing down the electric car launch because it may well be a token gesture on the company's behalf?
Ground breaking battery technology promises to extend EV range
March 30, 2014 09:09 AM - BOB SHETH, Electric Forum
Over the last few years much of the talk with regards to the electric vehicle sector has focused upon battery restrictions with many people calling for greater investment in the sector. There was a general consensus emerging that lithium ion batteries had perhaps been pushed to their technological limit and we may need to strip back the battery sector and go back to square one. However, researchers at the University of Limerick have announced a ground breaking breakthrough which could effectively double the life of an electric vehicle battery. This new development incorporates the latest nanotechnology which is something that will impact every area of everyday life. It is a technology which has been around for a few years but is still in its infancy with regards to its potential to change areas such as battery storage capacity.
EV's only in city centers?
January 24, 2014 07:35 AM - Bob Sheth, Electric Forum
Should governments give serious consideration to electric car only city centres? Over the last 12 months the subject of electric car only city centres has been discussed on numerous occasions although so far no government has been brave enough to push through any formal regulations. The authorities continue to encourage the use of electric vehicles within city centres, assisting with creating a network of recharging stations, but perhaps they could be doing more? Only a few days ago we wrote about an expert in the field of electric vehicles who is suggesting that financial incentives should be focused towards commercial operations such as taxis and vehicle fleets. The idea is that taxis and vehicle fleets cover the most mileage per annum compared to your traditional motorist and therefore electric vehicles will be more visible under this particular strategy.
Ford announces plans for solar powered electric vehicle
January 6, 2014 09:22 AM - Bob Sheth, Electric Forum
While it may only be a concept vehicle at this moment in time, the Ford C-Max Solar Engeri will be showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas between 7 January and 10 January 2014. This is not the first time that solar power has been interlinked with the electric vehicle market but so far no solar powered vehicle has actually made it to the market.
Electric vehicle market predictions
December 25, 2013 08:39 AM - BOB SHETH, Electric Forum
While there is no doubt that the electric vehicle market has performed admirably during 2013, what does the future hold for the electric vehicle industry in 2014? As we come to the end of 2013 all eyes are now moving towards next year when many experts believe we will see developments which could change the whole landscape of the electric vehicle market. There are a number of initiatives under the surface, perhaps not grabbing the headlines as you might expect, which could come into play in 2014 and indeed we will be one year nearer an affordable electric vehicle priced around $30,000. There are very few people who would have guessed that 2013 would be so successful for the worldwide electric vehicle market especially as the year began on a fairly downward note. Not only did we have a number of setbacks for the industry, with regards to government investments, but the spat between Tesla and the New York Times did nobody any favours.
Innovation in EV technology from BMW
November 22, 2013 08:20 AM - Move Forward, Electric Forum
In years gone by it seemed that EV manufacturers, EV retailers and recharging network providers were happy to be at loggerheads with each other rather than working together. We saw an array of charging technologies hit the market with different protocols and different companies decided to go in very different directions. Slowly but surely, as the electric the industry continues to develop, recharging network providers are now looking to work with electric vehicle manufacturers. The latest such deal involves the BMW i3 which is the company's first all-electric production vehicle. So, what will BMW i3 owners have access to and why do many believe it is a revolutionary deal for not only BMW but the electric vehicle market?

Lunch Bunch: Best bet: Cajun, BBQ eats a treat at Rafter J
Sometimes, you just need some beef.
Or sausage, or pulled pork, as the case may be.
Lunch Buddy No. 1 and I took a short drive to Rafter J Texas BBQ and Cajun Eats in Iowa Park specifically to find some good smoked meat, and we were surprised and elated by the friendliness, quality and variety of the food and the rustic décor of Rafter J.
We were greeted promptly when we sat down with menus and drink requests from our server.
We jumped on the chance to try the corn popper appetizer and were pleasantly surprised with the spicy, cheesy corn nuggets fried to perfection and served with ranch dipping sauce. Sure, it's not the healthiest thing around, but if you split the app with a few lunch buddies or dudes, you'll be OK on the calorie count.
We were surprised to learn that Rafter J offers an extensive menu of Cajun specialties, including crawfish, shrimp and gumbo, just to name a few. It all looks delicious and is a welcome departure from the average, everyday items on an ordinary barbecue restaurant menu.
But since we were on a meat mission, Lunch Buddy No. 1 decided to try the two-meat barbecue plate with pulled pork, smoked sausage, fried okra and sweet potato fries. I also tried a two-meat plate, with sliced brisket and turkey breast, a barbecue favorite of mine, and chose coleslaw and fried corn on the cob for my two sides.
I also decided to go with a bowl of chicken and sausage gumbo so I could sample the Rafter J Cajun delicacies. The gumbo was delivered promptly after we placed our orders. It featured a delicious blend of smoked sausage, chicken, rice and tomatoes in a flavorful broth. I usually avoid tomatoes in gumbo, but I have to say, Rafter J changed my view on that. The tomatoes were delicious and the gumbo wasn't too spicy. It was a great starter to split with a buddy or it could be a meal with a side or two.
Our plates were quick to appear and had a good-sized portion of both meats and sides. Lunch Buddy No. 1's sausage was out of this world. Smoky, tender and juicy, it's enough to make the Health Nut go calorie crazy! LB's pulled pork also was delicious, moist, tender and flavorful. Add a bit of Rafter J's sweet barbecue sauce and you're transported to Memphis quicker than you can say "Oink." My brisket had a great "bark" and was smoked to perfection. I could have eaten it all on its own, without sauce, but the sweet, tangy barbecue sauce was a perfect complement to the meat. And the turkey is definitely worth trying, especially if you are trying to keep the calorie counts in check. It, too, was super moist, tender and smoked perfectly.
Lunch Buddy No. 1 was a little disappointed in her two side items. The sweet potato fries were good, but would have been better with a little bit more seasoning, maybe even a little spice, to complement the smokiness of her meaty main dishes. The fried okra similarly could have used a bit more seasoning.
My coleslaw also was a little under-seasoned, but still had good crunch and was fresh tasting. The fried corn is a wonder to behold, with crunchy, sweet corn kernels clinging to the cob until you take a bite and spray your neighbor with corn bits! I'd never heard tell of frying corn, but now that I've tried it, I may have to do a few home experiments on my own!
Rafter J's is a great spot to stop in if you are in the mood for some great smoked food. Even with the 10-minute drive to Iowa Park, we were back in the office with time to spare on our lunch hour. Four forks for Rafter J Texas BBQ and Cajun Eats!

Johnny The Next Level - My Turn, Your Turn
Johnny's hard up for cash so I'm going to try for a repeat performance of last week in a more 'traditional' setting: Vinnie's bedroom! He's naked and sprawled out on the bed talking about how much sex he's been getting (more than Vinnie?) when I jump up next to him on the bed and take out Mr. Bill… He watches me jerk myself off then swoops down on my cock, barely getting past the head! We switch off for a while then Johnny blows a wad all over my face (and in my ear!) and then I explode all over his thigh… Hey! Vinnie's been bustin' lately!
