Chief Minister Jagadish Shettar will lead the request of the people's representatives to ensure a smooth passage of an amendment to Article 371 of the Constitution in Parliament, not withstanding the head start that the Congress has obtained with the Cabinet Committee on Political Affairs clearing the various features of the amendment, which on receiving the assent of the President will be classified as Article 371 (J).
Sources in the State government and the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party told The Hindu that every effort would be made to push for an easy passage of the Bill.
The Chief Minister will camp in New Delhi when the monsoon session of Parliament starts and call upon the MPs from the State, apart from those of the Bharatiya Janata Party hailing from other States, to work for the adoption of the law.
There are 19 Bharatiya Janata Party members in the Lok Sabha and eight in Rajya Sabha from Karnataka.
An amendment to the Constitution calls for a majority support of both the Houses of Parliament, with at least two-thirds of the members present during voting extending their support.
It is common knowledge that all political parties over the past four decades have appealed to the Union government of the day to confer special status on the districts of the Hyderabad-Karnataka region which have, by and large, remained backward since the reorganisation of States in 1956. It is another matter that the D.M. Nanjundappa committee report has made certain special recommendations for the overall development of the region, with funds drawn from the State's coffers, but a special provision made under the Constitution will mean a whole lot of difference.
The all-important amendment to Article 371 of the Constitution, which is coming about at a time when Karnataka is heading for elections to the Legislative Assembly, has propped up the antenna of all political parties given the fact that all of them while in power have raised the issue of a special status to the six districts of the Hyderabad-Karnataka region.
It is natural that all political parties will like to obtain a piece of the pie, and all the three parties have had a control over the region at one point of time or the other.
The former Prime Minister H.D. Deve Gowda told The Hindu that he will use his good offices to obtain the benefit for Karnataka.
"Although I headed the United Front government in 1996-97, the then Janata Dal did not enjoy the requisite strength. Karnataka has been seeking an amendment to Article 371 for a long period, and I am happy that it will come through shortly," he said.
The former Law Minister M.C. Nanaiah, MLC, said: "we have to now work for the constitutional amendment on apolitical lines. Several governments in the past have made a plea to the Union government".
The special status to Gulbarga, Yadgir, Bidar, Raichur, Koppal and Bellary districts will translate into better employment opportunities for the local people, reservation in education and a special board to monitor the overall socio-economic development of the region.

"It's that guy again! Wasn't he on...uhm...what was that show again?" Normally, when you watch a movie or show and this situation comes up, you pause the video (if you're on demand or on video streaming), get your phone or tablet, then try to search for specific terms that would eventually lead you to who that actor is. But it will take you a few minutes, maybe hours. Now if you have an Amazon device and Amazon Instant Video, it will just take you a few seconds.

Hidden Gems: Roy's cooking class offers culinary delights
BONITA SPRINGS - Take a cooking demonstration class at Roy's in Bonita Springs and soon you will be saying Aloha to a new style of culinary delights.
Nestled into the Promenade at Bonita Bay, Roy's chef partner Jason Grasty offers cooking classes at the restaurant with many tips — transforming the most challenging recipes into manageable, fun and tasty meals for beginner chefs.
Earlier this week, I took part in one of Roy's monthly cooking lessons. Grasty offers a two and a half-hour cooking class every second Tuesday of the month, plus an additional cooking demonstration during season.
On my recent visit, Grasty told the group of about 25 that he was trying to cook dishes that everyone might be able to go home and attempt to cook.
I thought I would be putting on a cooking apron during my recent visit, but that wasn't the case. The morning class wasn't hands-on, but if you participate, you too could master techniques in the kitchen.
The menu for that day included: spicy lobster bisque, braised pork osso bucco and a butterscotch budino.
"Most of the recipes that we do are for four people, so you can enjoy it the next day without all the fuss," Grasty told the group while stirring the bisque. And if you don't want it the next day, he said the spicy lobster bisque would freeze really well.
Before we were served the soup, Grasty, standing behind one of three large steaming roasting pots, demonstrated the cooking process — stirring the ginger, lemon grass, shallots, carrots and celery for less than five minutes over medium high heat.
He advised attendees to remove the gills from the lobsters' front torso. Before throwing in the front section of the lobster's bodies, which should be opened up, into the soup, he walked around the two large tables showing attendees a bowl full of lobsters.
While the bisque cooked, Grasty spoke about making rue, also known as roux. Rue is a combination of wheat and fat. It is often used in numerous foods, such as many types of creams and other French foods.
Then, he added lobster stock, lobster bodies, coconut milk and heavy cream. Grasty told the class that when searching for good coconut milk try to find one that has coconut intact.
With simplicity, Grasty pealed a ginger root with a spoon, while sharing with the class that this way one can maintain 90 percent of the root.
Grasty went on to demonstrate how to make brioche croutons.
We learned that there are three secrets to French cooking, which are "butter, butter and butter," Grasty said. The group's laughter filled the air, as he proceeded to dice the bread and then mix it with unsalted butter and a little bit of salt and pepper.
After cooking the bisque, Grasty strained the soup in a China cap. Don't worry, at home, you could use a large colander.
Then he poured the soup through another strainer — a chinois, a cone-shaped sieve with a closely woven mesh. If you don't have this at home, you can also use a strainer with smaller perforations.
Grasty said one typically waits until the end of the cooking process to toss the fresh herbs into the bisque.
Following Grasty's demonstration, attendees were served the warm, lobster bisque.
When the orange-colored soups arrived at the more than 10-people tables, the aroma of sweet and spicy filled the air immediately.
At my first spoon full, the bisque tasted smooth and fresh — with spices, including the red curry paste. It tasted incredible. I knew that I would soon be cooking this at home.
"It smells so good," Joe Bevilacqua, 72, said the moment his bowl arrived.
"Oh," he said after his first taste. "I like the spicy."
As attendees enjoyed their soup, Grasty continued with the cooking demonstration of pork osso bucco with orange macadamia nut gremolata. And, the group's sense of smell heightened with the baking aromas of the combination of sweet, spicy, sour and salty.
The main dish included braised pork osso bucco (a piece of pork shank with a bone and meat around it), fingerling potatoes, halved brussels sprouts, Kim Chee aioli and gremolata (a mix of orange zest, lemon zest, toasted and ground fine macadamia nuts, fine chopped parsley, panko breadcrumbs, olive oil and kosher salt). One can also substitute the pork for braised veal shanks.
The pork osso bucco was tender and melted in my mouth — wonderful.
And even though, the Kim Chee aioli contained mayonnaise, and I'm not a fan of mayonnaise at all, I couldn't taste the mayonnaise in the combination, which included Kim Chee paste, lime juice, honey, mayonnaise and kosher salt.
"My God, it's delicious," said Dianne Bevilacqua, 62.
Then came the dessert a butterscotch budino (an Italian custard/pudding).
When the chilled, creamy butterscotch dessert — topped with salted caramel sauce with chopped macadamia nuts — hits your tongue it's so delightful. It was so good. I actually wanted another one.
Be sure to come with an appetite because you'll get a three-course lunch for $50, plus tax and tip. But don't worry if you can't finish your whole meal in one sitting, you can take your leftovers home.
"I hope you enjoyed everything and maybe you learned something new," Grasty told the group at the end of the class.
The class has become so popular, that it has repeat guests.
Among the returning students were the Bevilazcqua's, a couple from Fort Myers, who have attended Grasty's cooking classes about six to seven times.
"We love it," said Dianne Bevilacqua. "It's consistently great."
She said they enjoy coming to Grasty's classes to learn new techniques. Moreover, they like that Grasty makes cooking look so simple that they can try it at home.
You can wear whatever footwear you would wear at a nice, fun lunch date since you will not be cooking in the kitchen. I wore my stiletto heels that day. If cooking is not your strength, then Grasty's recipes might intrigue you. Or simply consider the cooking class as a meal demonstration with great lunch.
Grasty has been offering the demonstration class for about 3 1/2 years. He said the classes have grown over time from two or four people to about 25 attendees, adding a second class during season.
Grasty says that the three best, versatile cooking tools to own in one's kitchen, not including knives, are a food processor, a blender and a mixer.
"You have those three things you can do just about anything," he said.
Roy's is located at 26831 South Bay Drive in the Promenade, off U.S. 41 in Bonita Springs. There is another Roy's in downtown Naples.

- Chipotle reluctantly in spotlight as immigration investigators increase their focus on employers
- May 5:
- ICE zeros in on Chipotle
- May 4:
- ICE visits 30 Chipotle restaurants in ongoing criminal investigation
- Apr 22:
- Chipotle exec says firm is helping in ICE review
- Apr 19:
- High Court leaves intact ruling against Chipotle.
Chipotle Mexican Grill Inc. is working with the criminal division of the U.S. Attorney's Office in the District of Columbia following a request by prosecutors to provide them with documents, the Denver-based company said.
During an earnings call on Wednesday, Chipotle co-CEO Monty Moran acknowledged that the U.S. attorney's office in Washington requested the documents as "part of a review they are conducting."
The Wall Street Journal reported late Wednesday that the federal government has begun a criminal investigation into whether Chipotle has knowingly hired illegal immigrants at its restaurants.
During the conference call Wednesday, Moran said Chipotle isn't clear about the scope of the review.
"We are relatively new to this process, and are not fully aware of the specific details about how these agencies do their work, but we are told that it is customary for ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs enforcement) and the Assistant U.S. Attorney to work together, so it makes sense they would be interested in reviewing this incident," said Moran.
Moran said Chipotle has been "completely open and transparent" with both ICE and the U.S. Attorney. He said discussions with both agencies "seem to be going well."
Chris Arnold, Chipotle's communication director, emphasized today that the Denver-based company is fully cooperating.
"We have been very open and transparent in all of this," said Arnold.
Bill Miller, spokesman for the U.S. Attorneys Office for the District of Columbia, said he couldn't comment.
"The U.S. Attorney's Office does not confirm or deny investigations," said Miller.
And Washington-based ICE spokeswoman Gillian Christensen said that "as a matter of policy ICE does not comment on ongoing investigations."
In March, Chipotle received "notices of inspection" from ICE for employees in Virginia and Washington, D.C. after receiving them in Minnesota last year.
The notices require employers to submit copies of I-9 employment-eligibility forms, along with other payroll documents.
If the documents are falsified, such as using another person's Social Security number, employers are given a warning and must dismiss the workers involved.
Chipotle said earlier this year that it has been put in a tough position - caught between laws that require it to thoroughly document the employees it hires and immigration laws that forbid it to introduce practices construed as discriminatory when they hire.
In February, Chipotle began introducing the E-Verify system to all of its 1,100 U.S. restaurants - a process that was completed in March.
E-Verify, a government database, matches the names of people seeking work with Chipotle with the Social Security numbers they provide to make sure they can work in the United States.
The company also uses two levels of review on the I-9 forms. They are reviewed by both the hiring manager and Chipotle's human resources department.

Like most good DJ tricks, though, this tactic soon got overplayed. Part of the problem was that Vitalic was frustratingly unprolific; up until this year, he only had a few tracks to his name. That's finally remedied with OK Cowboy, which collects the classic tunes from Poney EP and adds a bunch of hard-rocking new synthesizer workouts. Listening to it from start to finish is so bracing it's overwhelming; it sounds like what it would feel like to drink six cups of black coffee chased down with a bucket of ice water.
"My Friend Dario," the first new single, is a perfect illustration of how the Vitalic machine operates. A relentlessly looping treadmill-to-hell melody, complete with dumb nonsense lyrics, suddenly breaks down into an unspeakably euphoric, fist-pumping chorus.
To paraphrase Sasha Frere-Jones writing on the Clash, everyone is invincible the minute it starts playing.

extreme novice on amps, speakers
ok, on another forum, actually a car audio forum, someone asked about how one would go about increasing the impedance the amp sees from a speaker (i don't think that's the best explaination of it but...)
basically, someone said to just hook a 4ohm resistor in series with the speaker. I disagreed with that idea. beyond the practicalities of the heat from the resistor, I said that because impedance is variable across the freqency domain (that is the right word?) that hooking up a fixed resistance would be goofy.
then i thoght back to the "output impedance" of an amplifier. I am assuming that it is somehow related to the impedance of the load to prevent a similar mismatch problem, or made to be extremely small compared to the load. or am i looking at this wrong?
if only it could be used for good, not evil...

A- Resistors come in a variety of wattages to deal with heat. I've no idea what would be needed in a car system but one could be hypercautions and use a 25W sandcast. Cost is under $5.
B- At any frequency adding the 4 ohm resistor in seriies would just raise the impedance of the speaker by 4. Or if you were to express it on a graph L vs. F it would simply shift the curve up by 4 ohm.
If I'm mistaken, about this someone will correct me I'm sure.
A more interesting question is why would someone want to do this? To make the speaker more "efficient"? I expect the sound quality is going to suffer.

Humm, all this will do ( simplistically) is waste power from the amp by heating the resistor, is this a case that someone had a dodgy car amp that would only drive 8 Ohm? I personally don't see the point...

Tried it once just for fun. D'ont know why but the sound quality suffer à lot when I've done it. really not a good idea as it's going to wast half of the energy.
But I can still not understand the extreme lost in sound quality. The resistor was ok.

well, kinda missing the point a little.
the exact problem someone had was a 1ohm tweeter and a 4ohm amp. now i know the tweeter won't need uber-power. someone suggested a series resistance.
I said it would not be good, because the impedance of a speaker is not constant when you look at freqency. i haven't checked to see if phase would do anything to my reasoning. in any case i asked basically, how is amplifier output impedance different from a series resistance.
i ran winISD and adding a series resistor altered freqency response.
if only it could be used for good, not evil...

often when you are told an amp is for 4 or 8 Ohms, it has to do with when the amp will melt. For example, If am amp is rated for only 8 ohms and you hook it up to a 4 ohm speaker, the four ohm speaker will draw twice as much current (this is why an amp is generally rated at a higher power for a 4 ohm speaker). If the amp supplies (or tries to supply) the required current the transistors in it will get very hot. When they get hot bad things start to happen. For your case the amplifier will need to supply 4 times the current it would for a 4 ohm speaker. I will say that just hooking up the 1 ohm speaker will not blow the amp but if the volume gets high look for fire, I would not suggest hooking it up and trying to keep the volume low.

ok, i'll try this over.
i explained how the question came up, and that part was answered instead. so i re-asked and got another question answered. so now i ask my question for a third time.
I want to know how the output inpedance of an amp differs from a series resistance before the speaker. also, what effect does changing output impedance of an amp have on the sound that would come out of the speaker.
i thank all who have posted, but i feel my question is either not clear or being avoided, despite the line:
"in any case i asked basically, how is amplifier output impedance different from a series resistance. "
maby i shouldn't have stated i was a novice, because it seems like the questions you're answering are easier than the question i asked.

You are corect in that this is not such a simple question. The way I understand it, the output resistance of an amplifier works the same way as a resistor in series with the speaker, usually it is seen as desirable to minimize this so as to get closer to the ideal amplifier. This resistance is lowered usually by using additional output transistors. The bad news is that if the amplifier uses feedback (and they almost all do, especially in cars) this resistance is inside the feedback loop. If you add enough resistance inside the feedback the amplifier will change to where it is supplying current instead of voltage.
So you may ask "what does all this mean?" and my answer is I'm not sure. Here is a link to some information which you may find useful http://sound.westhost.com/z-effects.htm
Hope this gets us back on track.

Visions was an annual science fiction convention held from 1990 to 1998 in Rosemont, Illinois on Thanksgiving weekend. The convention was held at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare except for the 1992 event which was held at the Ramada O'Hare. The convention was originally called Visions but was renamed HME Visions in 1998.
The convention was founded by retired fireman, electrical contractor, and longtime Doctor Who fan Robert H. McLaughlin III of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. He organized the 1990 Doctor Who convention to raise money for Lambs Farm. The convention was run by McLaughlin with a committee of about 20 plus fan volunteers (gophers) recruited at each event.
Over time the convention expanded from a Doctor Who convention into a celebration of British TV shows. While the main focus of each convention was Doctor Who, Visions often invited actors from Blakes 7, Red Dwarf and Robin of Sherwood. Visions '93 celebrated the 30th anniversary of Doctor Who and the 15th anniversary of Blakes 7.

Red tide appears to be dissipating
State biologists to examine area on Thursday
State biologists will get a better look at the red tide that has killed fish from Port Aransas to the Padre Island National Seashore today when they fly over the Gulf Thursday.
Merideth Byrd, a Texas Parks and Wildlife harmful algal blooms coordinator, said the most recent reports revealed nearly 30 miles of dead fish and indications of the algae as far south as the 30-mile marker on the seashore.
Commonly called red tide, the algae produces harmful neurotoxins that can kill fish, discolor water and cause respiratory problems in humans when the algae multiply or bloom.
"It is starting to be a pretty big area," she said. "The good news is it seems to have slowed down, maybe dissipated a little bit near Aransas Pass."
Byrd said a planned flyover Tuesday was canceled because of weather and rescheduled for Thursday. Biologists continue to test water and Byrd said recent samples show a significant decrease in the number of living organisms near Port Aransas. Respiratory irritants were not felt in the Port Aransas area, but severe problems were reported at Padre Island National Seashore from the northern boundary to 10 miles south of Park Road 22.
Park visitors are warned about red tide, its presence and effects as they enter and at the visitors' center, said Darrell Echols, chief of science and resources management at the park.
Dead fish and respiratory irritation were reported down to the 30-mile marker, but there were no reports of red water.
"It obviously will affect people on the beach who are sensitive, but I don't expect we'll have a huge decrease in visitation," he said.
Echols said the park will remain open, but some activities, such as beach walks, may be limited.
Byrd and others biologists will examine fish kills along Mustang and Padre islands today.
Most of the dead fish were mullets, she said, a good sign that the game fish have been unaffected.
Byrd said people should avoid red water and risk skin irritations if they swim in affected waters. Areas with dead fish also should be avoided because decomposing fish create dangerous bacteria.
Byrd said fish that appear healthy still are safe to eat, as the toxins collect in fish guts not the edible sections. Shrimp and crabs are unaffected by red tide, but officials are monitoring the market supply of oysters, clams and mussels to ensure its safety.

The burst took place around 3 a.m. and the information reached the Corporation after two-and-a-half hours
A burst in Pilloor pipeline on Dr.Nanjappa Road near the Avanashi Road flyover in the small hours of Saturday led to waterlogging on Old Post Office Road, Dr.Nanjappa Road, Avanashi Road, the Collectorate and nearby areas for nearly three hours.
According to the Corporation sources, frequent power disruptions on Friday led to air-lock causing damage to the pipeline.
The burst took place around 3 a.m. and the information reached the Corporation after two-and-a-half hours. Later, the officials came to the spot and the water supply to the line was stopped. However, the water in the mainline had to be drained and it left the areas waterlogged.
Works by the Corporation by digging the road to replace the damaged portion of 500-mm dia asbestos concrete pipe with a mild steel pipe that began in the morning threw traffic out of gear on LIC Road and Dr.Nanjappa Road throughout the day on Saturday.
Traffic on flyover heading towards Dr.Nanjappa Road was also diverted on Avanashi Road to take the left turn at the LIC Junction. This led to choking of traffic on LIC Road and VOC Park area.
A team of officials led by Assistant Commissioner of Coimbatore Corporation, South Zone, A. Lakshmanan, Executive Engineer Sugumar and Assistant Engineer C. Sundarraj carried out the restoration works.
They were confident of laying the replacement pipe by late on Saturday night and resuming the water supply by midnight, so that Town Hall, Ukkadam, GM Nagar, Karumbukkadai, Olymbus, Ramanathapuram, Puliakulam, Tiruchi Road and Sowripalayam areas get water by Sunday evening.
The officials said that they were resuming the supply in a phased manner by gradually increasing the quantity.

I watched the top spinner arm in the dishwasher to see if it was turning. It was not. I figured the chopper assembly screen might be clogged, or the blade might have been stuck. I found the repair video from PartSelect on YouTube (it's also on the Chopper Assembly website) and followed the instructions. The chopper shaft was broken. I ordered the part, and thankfully it was on my doorstep the next day using standard shipping. Following the video's instructions, I had a working dishwasher again in about 15 minutes. Thanks.

I've made this twice and got raves both times. Easy and delicious. I tweaked the recipe a bit. First, I only used enough olive oil to coat both sides of the onion slices before cooking, and did not add any after cooking--way less than called for. Second, I used crumbled Amablu cheese instead of Cabrales. Third, I used thinly sliced green onions instead of the chives, just for a touch of green. Fourth, I used just a few drops of white basalmic vinegar instead of the sherry vinegar.
This recipe is quite delicious and easy to make, though a little time consuming due to the time it takes to roast the onions. When served as the recipe states, my family and friends enjoyed it, but didn't love it. Given how delicious the onions were, I was determined to make this a hit with everyone. I tweaked the recipe by making toasted French Baguette Rounds and putting the roasted onions on top. Then I topped them with the dressing and cheese. This was a huge hit. With the added toasted baguettes, I give this recipe 4 forks.
I had friends for a Spanish meal: four types of tapas, paella, poached pears. This was the highlight. An unbelievable melding of flavors. The Cabrales is just a perfect flavor for this dish.
WOW - this is a great appetizer for a get together - made it twice in the last two weeks - it was such a hit the first time (for 8 people) that I doubled the recipe (for 8 ) the next time. My slices were more like 1/2 inch, used Gorgonzola since that was what I had in house and used a Chianti wine vinegar. My cooking time was about 30 - 40 minutes, and toasted the almonds for no more than 5 minutes during that time. Roasted the onions about fours hours ahead of time - prepped everything else so that dressing the platter was 1,2,3 when my guests arrived.
By mistake, I used goat cheese instead of blue cheese. Everyone loved it. I can't wait to make it again the right way.
This was a huge hit at our Barcelona cooking party. I used Valdeon cheese as Cabrales was not available at Balducci's. It was amazing, everyone loved it and I can easily see using this as a side with roasted or grilled meat.
This was out of the park amazing! Only thing I didn't add was the chopped chives. Served this at a Girls Only Martnini Party and everyone wanted the recipe. Thank you!
I brought this to a tapas party and it was a huge hit. It was a little messy, but the layers of flavours were excellent. I substituted gorgonzola for cabrales, and used a combination of balsamic vinegar and real sherry because I couldn't find sherry vinegar. Mmmm. Would absolutely make this again.
This is so easy and so good! Guests will think this was so difficult to make :) I subbed gorgonzola with tasty results.
Made this last night as part of a tapas cocktail party. I was a bit skeptical, but it was delicious. I drizzled less olive oil than called for and used less cheese (used a mild blue cheese) and no chives because I forgot to buy them. This would be so good in sandwiches.....mmmmm.

Ahead of July 4th, a tropical storm off Florida
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) — With the July Fourth weekend on the horizon, the Atlantic hurricane season's first named storm plodded off Florida's coast early Wednesday, though Tropical Storm Arthur wasn't yet spooking too many in the storm's potential path.
"I think everybody's keeping one eye on the weather and one eye on the events this weekend," said Joe Marinelli, president of Visit Savannah, the city's tourism bureau.
A tropical storm watch was in effect for a swath of Florida's east coast. The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami urged those as far north as parts of Virginia to monitor Tropical Storm Arthur's path. The center said Arthur was becoming better organized and predicted it would become a hurricane by Thursday.
Early Wednesday morning, forecasters said the storm was growing a little stronger as it moved slowly northward. It was about 95 miles (155 km) off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida, and its maximum sustained winds had increased to about 60 mph (95 kph). The storm was heading north at about 4 mph (6 kph). A gradual increase in forward speed was expected Wednesday, followed by a turn to the northeast by Thursday, the Hurricane Center said.
Off Florida's Space Coast beaches — the closest to Arthur — the sky was cloudy and winds fairly normal, said Eisen Witcher, assistant chief of Brevard County Ocean Rescue.
Red flags warned of rough surf, and beachgoers were advised to get into the water only in areas with staffed lifeguard stands. But overall, Witcher said, "it's business as usual."
Red flags also flew at Daytona Beach. By midday, a dozen swimmers had been aided by lifeguards when they got caught in a rip current. On any given day, 15 to 20 swimmers need help, said Tammy Marris, spokeswoman for the Volusia County Beach Patrol.
Near the storm, 19 ill crew members were evacuated from a South Korean cargo ship after they showed signs of food poisoning. The cargo ship JS Comet was anchored 3 miles off Cape Canaveral, and the Coast Guard reported that deteriorating weather conditions were one factor in the decision to evacuate.
Outside Florida, there were no official storm watches or warnings, but forecasters started to warn of upcoming rain, heavy surf and swells, and rip tides.
In North Carolina's Outer Banks, officials said they would close Cape Lookout National Seashore at 5 p.m. Wednesday and reopen when it's safe.
The motel Shutters on the Banks was completely booked for the holiday weekend, general manager John Zeller said, despite forecasts for potentially heavy rain, gusty winds and isolated tornadoes late Thursday and Friday.
"We have received some cancellations but not too many," he said. "Basically we are telling people to kind of wait and see what happens."
The motel has a 72-hour advance notice on cancellations, but Zeller said it will be waived if the storm tracks toward the area or warnings are issued.
In Folly Beach, South Carolina, dozens of people fished from the pier under sunny skies Tuesday. Others surfed on gentle swells, sunbathed and looked for shells.

Rockn LearnRead MoreIt was 1986 when Richard Caudle, a school psychologist, saw something missing in children's education. The lesson plans used lacked multisensory learning approaches, music, and engaging content that would make learning fun. Taking matters into his own chalk-covered hands, Mr. Caudle contacted his brother Brad, a musician, and together the two recorded Rock 'N Learn's first program. More than 25 years and a slew of awards later, the company still remains a family affair. Brad's wife, Melissa, writes material and coordinates research, while Richard's wife, Kathie, manages the sales and marketing team. Together, they have created more than 50 books, audio programs, and videos. Rock 'N Learn's educational DVDs and CDs fuse music and colorful imagery to teach skills in areas such as math, science, phonics, and language. Their DVD programs give life to animated characters such as D.J. Doc, the Hip Hop Hamster, who raps positive lyrics about states and capitals and the challenges of finding rodent-sized sunglasses. Some of Rock 'N Learn's other items include interactive stories for the iPad and iPhone as well as DVDs that cover test-taking strategies.105 Commercial CirConroe, TX US
TradeWinds KitesRead MoreLocated at the rear of Virginia Beach Resort Hotel, TradeWinds Restaurant faces the Chesapeake Bay. A covered patio, buffered only by tall grasses, abuts the waters, which wash over every aspect of TradeWinds, from the bayside ambiance to the menu's locally sourced oysters, salmon, and crab. Fresh seafood pairs with new york strip steak at dinner and with salads and sandwiches at lunch. During Sunday brunch, the bright dining room fills with the aromas of made-to-order omelets and seared yellowfin tuna slathered in a variety of spices and sauces.403A Bradford AveKemah, TX US

This fridge is very nice looking. It can hold 4 one gallon containers in the doors. I like to two drawers that are next to each other, and the big drawer underneath. The only thing that bothers me on this is that the right side door has a hinged lip (best way I can describe it) that is supposed to turn to a 90 def angle when you open the door, then slide in a slot and and flatten out when you close the door so that it covers the gap between the two doors when it is closed. However, sometimes it does not turn the 90 deg when you open it, then when you close it you bang the door and have to manually adjust the lip for the door to close. This is fine for us because we are two adults who can watch for this and move it as needed, but it is a concern for me when we have kids who will just slam the door...The freezer is ok, a little small. Also, I think the gliding mechanism should be smoother. The ice maker works well.

Was the lucky person to receive a lemon. Ice maker made 1 batch of ice from day 1. Got names of factory approved technicians. They had 1-3 week wait times. Some didn't service my area.Others were not in the area so appointments were mid day which meant taking the whole day off from work & only 1x week. Multiple problems w/ refrigerator (icemaker & refrigerator was in freezing temp which cracked lines & plastic parts of filter). Sensor replaced, filter, filter housing (all on separate visits), the eventually this was solved. Icemaker still not working. Lost faith in 1st tech & asked for local technician. Tired of taking so many days off. Local tech better. Took 2 visits & looks like problem resolved. Refrigerator delivered 7/25/13. Final problem probably resolved 12/10/13. I bought at independent dealer to get the service I felt would not be there from do it your self like Lowes or online. Ended up with having to deal with this myself anyway. Felt like it was all on me to provide proof this was a lemon. Was 1 step away from having the refrigerator replaced as defective - learned all the rules. Last tech was declaring it unrepairable. I feel like I need to buy the continued warranty b/c I did get a lemon & who knows what else will be wrong with it. Took a total of 5 visits & 1 failed visit b/c tech couldn't come when promised. I know you don't count diagnostic visits, which means 3 to you, but we were home 5x. Our time counts too. Not entering for prize - someone just needs to read/hear this.

Perfect Design

Comments about Electrolux Counter Depth French Door Black Refrigerator:
Purchased this refrigerator about a month ago and it's fantastic! We assumed going with a counter depth fridge we would be giving up a lot of space but this baby is great! Lots of room for all of our needs and we are a family of 4! The freezer is small but that's what the chest freezer is for. The design of this fridge is superior to everything else we have seen, from the glide drawers to the glass shelves it is a beautiful high end appliance at a reasonable price!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Very good refrigerator. Works just fun. Very good refrigerator.
The perfect fridge!
By Bowen
from Portland, OR, United States
We wanted a fridge that didn't have water or ice in the door so we could have more room inside. This fridge is perfect in so many ways. The soft shut drawers, the open storage and ease of seeing what you want, the lighting, the soft serve drawer and the little bells and whistles you take for granted even ate enhanced. Since it's real stainless you can't put a magnet on the front which helps to keep it looking clean and new. Plenty of room on the side and the ability to do over the door type hangers for kids Art if needed. We love this thing and would recommend it to anyone! Plus it's pretty quiet overall when running which is also very nice.

Purchased in March, this Electrolux refrigerator exceeds my expectations in performance and style. It's also very energy efficient. One negative: My model, the EI23BC30KS, does not include a covered dairy bin.
Great cooling, space and easy to clean..

We have really enjoyed our new refrigerator, especially the features. We can basically do everything from the door display. Unfortunately, we had a ice maker issue. It was a good thing we purchase the warranty.
Good design features

The installers finally got it put together correctly. It is still too early to comment on its reliability but it is a nicely thought out design. And it is a real good looking unit!
Great features!

By James Slater: When Martin Rogan and Matt Skelton met to decide the Commonwealth heavyweight title in February of 2009, the two put on a great, domestic FOTY candidate. Belfasts Rogan, on a real roll at the time, won via dramatic 11th-round stoppage, but Rogie knew hed been in a real war. Now, as has been confirmed by BBC Sport, the two will look to do it all over again at The Kings Hall, Belfast on November 12th.
I hope to put on a show and win in Belfast, Rogan said. But I am going to have to work very hard because Skelton will try to grind me down. Im sure everyone remembers the last time we met. It went down as one of the best British heavyweight fights of the decade.
Did it ever! The question now is, can the older, possibly slower big men put a show approaching the quality of their first encounter?
Bedford Bear Skelton, 25-6(20) is now 44-years-old, while Rogan, 14-2(7) is now 40. Neither guy has been overly active as of late. Skelton last fought in October of last year, when he was beaten by Michael Sprott in the final of Prizefighter. Rogan last boxed in November of last year, winning his second fight back after suffering two losses in a row to Sam Sexton. We have no idea how much either guy has left.
Maybe (hopefully), the styles of the two men will see to it that another give and take battle ensues. Both men love a good tear-up, both can punch and take a punch, and both men always give their all in the gym. As old as they are, we can rely on both warriors doing their best to win and to entertain next month.
Back in 2009, Rogan, coming off a Prizefighter win of his own as well as an important (at the time) win over Audley Harrison, became the first man to put a dent in the immensely strong Skelton. Big Matt had previously lost only decisions to Danny Williams and Ruslan Chagaev, and the sight of him on the floor in the 11th-round against Rogan was somewhat shocking. Basically, Rogan took Skeltons best and then wore him down.
Looking like a genuine world title contender, the popular Belfast man lost his next two, however. Did he peak in the Skelton fight?
The loser of November 12ths fight will pretty much have nowhere to go, while the winner may get one more shot at a big fight. Both guys will know their very careers will be on the line next month.
I think Skelton might be able to dig deep enough to pull off a mightily close points win, thus avenging his first stoppage defeat.

Job nobody applies for - military caregiver
Military caregivers speak out about need for support
There are no bandages to change. But diagnoses can be difficult to achieve and, therefore, care sometimes comes very late.
Jack Canaday still has shrapnel inside his skull from bomb blasts during his 2004 to 2005 Iraq deployment. But he was cleared for duty and deployed several times afterward.
When he returned from a 2012 trip to Afghanistan, the physical and emotional bill finally came due.
Gina Canaday's happy husband -- who used to lead T-ball games in the street and repair all the neighborhood kids' bikes – had stopped playing with their children. He couldn't remember things.
The Marine Corps saw it, too, and wanted to medically retire him last year based on brain injury and PTSD.
Gina Canaday said it was the wake-up call she needed.
"We were just surviving. I was handling everything. The bills, and I was his memory. And I was at my end," she said.
"When they decided to medically retire him, I finally decided to reach out to other people in my situation, and I was shocked at how many of us there are. I don't want anyone to feel that lost-and-alone feeling I had for so long."
Shannon Duncan and her husband, Daniel, are still getting comfortable with the "caregiver" term.
"I don't think I need care-giving," said Daniel Duncan, 32, an active-duty Marine who has deployed to both Iraq and Afghanistan.
But he acknowledges the toll that his PTSD and mood disorder have taken.
He transferred to a rear unit while getting counseling. Sometimes he couldn't handle time with their boys Hayden and Matt, ages 6 and 2. He also tried to fill the emptiness he was feeling with spending sprees. The couple has gone through four motorcycles in three years, plus dirt bikes and campers.
"For Shannon to stay by my side – most spouses probably would have left – meant a lot," Daniel Duncan said. "I guess that would classify her as a caregiver. She cared enough to stay."
The idea of keeping a regular job is made more complicated when the military spouse is also the caregiver, Blue Star Families officials said. That's the economic hardship the monthly stipends from the VA or Defense Department are supposed to address.
Shannon Duncan is able to work full-time now, including weekends, thanks to considerable counseling for her husband and the pair as a couple, plus doctors finding the right medication for Daniel.
Gina Canaday, like many military wives, couldn't work because of the need to be a single parent while her husband deployed. Now that he goes to regular weekly appointments, she accompanies him to fill in the blanks in his memory.
"How do you tell a brand-new employer, 'I'd love to a job, but three days a week I've got to go to a doctors appointment'?" she asked.

See also general information on Proficiency Exams and Placement Interviews.
Proficiency Exams measure your ability in a language and are used to satisfy or waive language requirements.
Placement Interviews determine which language class is appropriate for your background and ability, and are only necessary if you intend to take the course. The interview results cannot be substituted for a proficiency exam.
The department does not offer either Proficiency or Placement to those outside the University.
Proficiency Exam:
To show proficiency in Korean language or to waive the language requirement you must take the Korean Program (KR100A) administered in the Office of Educational Assessment (440 Schmitz Hall, (206) 543-1171).
KR100A consists of a listening section followed by a written section (vocabulary, grammar, and reading). If you receive a score of 66 to 90, you are exempted from the general language requirement for graduation.
There is no re-test policy or waiting period. You may retake KR100A at any time.
If you want to prove that you are proficient at the second-year level, take KR200A.
Taking KR200A may not exempt you from the language requirement of your major, if what is required is the in-class time rather than the proficiency at that level. Confirm the requirement with the advisor in your department.
There is no re-test policy or waiting period. You may retake KR200A at any time.
*Heritage track students: can take the KR100A if they are trying to fulfill their language requirement for graduation, but cannot take the KR100A in replacement of Korean 135. If you missed taking Korean 135 in Autumn Quarter, you may want to take the KR200A and see if you can place into 3rd year Korean (300-level)*
Placement Interview:
If you have had no exposure to Korean and are looking to enroll in Korean 101, then you should fill out the Placement Interview Questionnaire to get an add code. The instructor will contact you within a week with placement information.
If you have had prior exposure to Korean (i.e. spoken Korean at home or taken a prior class) then you should contact Dr. Soohee Kim for further instructions.
Do NOT take any written tests at UW until you are told to do so.

Strauss-Kahn paid hotel maid $1.5 million – report
More News from Agence France-Presse
PARIS – Disgraced former IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn paid a settlement of $1.5 million (1.1 million euros) to the New York hotel maid who accused him of sexual assault, a French newspaper reported Sunday.
Citing sources close to Strauss-Kahn, Le Journal du Dimanche said Nafissatou Diallo had received the payment under a confidential deal reached to settle her civil suit against him.
The newspaper said Diallo went away with about 70 percent of the sum after paying her defence team.
A judge announced the deal last month, with reports at the time suggesting Strauss-Kahn had paid up to $5 million in the settlement.
Diallo also received a payout from the New York Post, which she had sued for reporting that she worked as a prostitute.
The incident disgraced Strauss-Kahn before a worldwide audience, forcing him to resign his IMF post and wrecking his chances of becoming French president.
He was arrested after Diallo, a Guinean immigrant, claimed he had jumped on her naked and forced her to perform oral sex in his Sofitel hotel room in New York in May 2011.
Strauss-Kahn admitted a sexual encounter took place but insisted it was consensual.
A criminal investigation into the incident collapsed after Diallo changed her version of events, prompting the prosecution to conclude there was little chance of a conviction.
Strauss-Kahn, 63, is still facing a probe in France into allegations that he was involved in procuring prostitutes, after a French court last month rejected a request for the charges to be dismissed.
The case, known as the "Carlton affair" in France, centres around allegations that business leaders and police officials in Lille operated a vice ring supplying girls for sex parties, some of which are said to have taken place at the Carlton Hotel in the northern city.

What is the difference between calories and calories from fat? Why are they different numbers? Which should I follow to maintain and/or lose weight?READ MORE
Hi Rachel,
All right, grab something from your kitchen. I'm looking at a bag of Doritos. On the label you see calories and calories from fat. For the Doritos, calories equal 150 and calories from fat 70. The "calories" stands for total calories in 1 serving from all sources - fat, carbohydrates, and protein. The "calories from fat" stands for just the calories you're receiving from fat. So, these Doritos contain 8 grams of fat. You can calculate the calories from fat yourself by multiplying fat grams by 9. Which, in this case, equals 72 calories. That's pretty close to the 70 indicated by the "Calories from fat" section.
When it comes to weight loss, calories from all sources is the bottom line. You want your total "calories in" (meals/snacks) to be less than total "calories out" (activity) to result in weight loss. So, track "calories". That being said, fat intake is important to monitor. It affects your overall health and heart disease risk. Total fat intake should be 30% of your total daily calories. So, if you consume 2000 calories each day, no more than 600 calories should come from fat. That is where the "calories from fat" on food labels can come in handy.
All the best,
Lisa Nelson, RD

My Rating
Totally enjoyable. We actually had reservations for the 6th, but as we were driving to SF from Cambria, in bad weather, we called and changed our reservation to the next day. Glad we did, as the weather was sunny and wonderful. We watched the sun set and enjoyed drinks and appetizers, which were plentiful and good. Recommend highly. The crew was great!

03 December 2013 07:09 [Source: ICIS news]
By Clive Ong
SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Asia acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) prices gained ground this week as some buying interest emerged out of China though long-term prospects remain unclear, traders and producers said on Tuesday.
Spot ABS prices were said to be in the highs of $1,800s/tonne (€1,332/tonne) to the lows of $1,900s/tonne CFR China, around $20/tonne higher than last week, market sources said.
"The buying interest is likely from some end-users replenishing inventories," said a trader in Hong Kong.
The Asia market is currently in a lull season with most of the production of finished goods completed for the year.
However, many users have purchased limited stocks over the past weeks and were now seeking parcels since prices have stabilised.
"End-users mostly have low stocks and there should be some buying interest since prices appear to be moving up," said a producer in southeast Asia.
Buoyant feedstock styrene monomer (SM) and butadiene (BD) values have also prompted ABS makers to target higher resin values in order to maintain workable margins.
SM prices rose to $1,700/tonne CFR China on 3 December, up from $1,650/tonne CFR China a month ago.
BD prices rose above $1,500/tonne CFR NE Asia for the week ended 29 November, up from $1,425/tonne CFR NE Asia in mid-November.
"Suppliers have to try for higher prices as feedstock costs have increased," said a producer in Taiwan.
Also, a number of ABS producers have also cut back operating rates at their plants in November as demand was weak. Consequently, availability of the resin has tightened and suppliers are keen to achieve higher prices.
With the global economic outlook staying largely weak, a number of traders suspected the improved buying momentum for ABS to be short lived. Key sectors of ABS include appliances and consumer electronics as well as automotives.
"It is unclear if the buying interest seen this week is sustainable since the overall market is in a lull period," said a trader in China.
The Chinese exports sector typically remain in a lull until after the second quarter each year when production of finished goods start to pick up.
ABS producers in Asia include Chimei Corp, Formosa Chemicals & Fibres Corp, LG Chem, Kumho Petrochemical and Cheil Samsung.

Sync to Vertical Blank aborts in TwinView setup
1 Attachment(s)
I have setup TwinView using two Samsung 205BW monitors with my 8800GTX and everything works fine as long as I don't enable vertical synch.
Here are my tests with glxgears:
No __GL_SYNC_TO_BLANK:
114939 frames in 5.0 seconds = 22987.681 FPS
119124 frames in 5.0 seconds = 23824.795 FPS
I have found that if I turn off TwinView and only have one monitor working then everything works correctly, and glxgears reports ~60FPS. So the problem is something to do with TwinView. I have also tried setting __GL_SYNC_DISPLAY_DEVICE=DFP-0 but that didn't seem to make a difference. I have also tried it with and without the composite extension enabled.
Has anyone run into this problem? Or been able to use __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK under TwinView? Any help would be appreciated.
Attached my bug-report.log

Hi downey,
This problem should be resolved in the next release.
