With the SDAT Stadium getting ready for the 2013 edition of the Chennai Open, set to commence on December 31, fans hope the city will continue to host the prestigious tournament in the years to come
Winter nights are best enjoyed in Chennai. The air is just right: crisp and refreshing, not forbiddingly frosty. And on seven of those nights, some of the world's best tennis players — Pat Rafter, Boris Becker, Rafael Nadal, and Carlos Moya are among those that have come — offer entertainment not found anywhere else in India.
But as the 2013 edition of the Chennai Open is set to begin, there's the vague danger of winters not being the same anymore. The current contract for the tournament ends with this edition. The Tamil Nadu Tennis Association is in talks with IMG, which owns the tournament, and an announcement is expected on the day of the final. Indications are that the negotiations are going well, but you never know in such situations.
As is frequently the case, the possibility of losing something makes you better appreciate what you had. The Chennai Open has done much for tennis, for both those who play it and those who follow it.
The breakthroughs
TNTA CEO Hiten Joshi refers to the breakthroughs in the tournament. "Leander (Paes) and Mahesh (Bhupathi) won their first ATP event in Chennai, Somdev (Devvarman) reached his first ever ATP final here,
Rohan's (Bopanna) first ever doubles final was here, all these first-evers have been in Chennai," he says.
There's no doubt the tournament has given top Indian talents an exposure — even if it has been brief in some cases — to the highest level. It has also helped spread the game by making top-rate tennis accessible. Says Joshi: "You don't get to watch this quality anywhere in the world at this price [season tickets from Rs. 1,500 to Rs. 5,000; daily prices differ. That itself is a big boon to any tennis lover." The effect of watching tennis live can't be overstated; it stirs your senses, it broadens your perception. Ramkumar Ramanathan, currently 18 and ranked 796th in the world, was transformed after his parents took him as a ten-year-old to the SDAT Tennis Stadium.
"I could feel their power, their spin, their speed," says Ramkumar. "The final between (Paradorn) Srichapan and (Carlos) Moya in 2005 was incredible. There was just so much intensity, it was unbelievable shot-making; they just went for it. Watching such tennis makes you want to play at that level too.
"The more you watch, the more you begin to think how you would construct the same points, you watch how they play under pressure, what they do that works, you learn so much. But it's not just thinking. That happens automatically. It's also a lot of fun because you love the game."
The TNTA is aware of the importance of juniors watching tennis. Secretary C.B.N. Reddy, who is part of the tournament committee, says the association is giving academies free tickets for the first three days. It also solves a problem tournaments everywhere in the world have with early attendance.
"We have a capacity of 5,800 which is almost filled on the last three days," says Reddy, "but it's not quite the same on the first three days because the top players aren't meeting each other yet and the Indian doubles stars haven't begun as yet. There has been an improvement over the last two years. We hardly had anyone before that, but the last two years we had close to 2000. This initiative (tickets for juniors) will also help."
Things have come together at the SDAT Tennis Stadium: re-laid courts; re-painted walls; re-built stalls. You hope it isn't for the last time.

David Williams: University of Memphis coach Josh Pastner has timing down
Tigers again hit stride at right time
I've figured out this whole basketball coaching thing. It's not about wiles or strategy or otherwise out-coaching the other coach.
Oh, there's a little of that, sure. But mostly -- let's say, 99.9 percent -- it comes down to this: Can you consistently get your team to play the "right" way (i.e., hard and smart).
From there, it comes down to talent and the way the ball bounces that day.
Play hard. Play smart. Play "right."
It's what we talk about when we talk about whether Josh Pastner can coach, isn't it?
It's why we're seriously considering the notion that Pastner, at age 34, at the most crucial stage of a most confounding season, has finally figured it out, has finally broken through as University of Memphis coach.
Has he? Honestly, I haven't the foggiest. I thought he figured it all out last March, but I was wrong then. I was caught up in the momentum that got Pastner a big raise and his team a consensus top-10 ranking to start this season.
I wrote the lead headline for our Nov. 13, 2011, preseason special section: "No Joshing -- with roster and staff in place, it's time for Pastner's Tigers to win big."
Then came the botched opportunities, the dispirited efforts, the inexplicable turns, the desperate stunts.
So are we just being teased again? Or is this the real deal? It sure looked real Saturday afternoon, in the Tigers' dominating 78-66 victory at Tulsa for the Conference USA regular-season championship.
It sure has looked real, lately -- ever since after that home loss to a UTEP(id) team that hadn't won a road game all season.
You remember how Pastner reacted. He had the players' names removed from the back of their jerseys, an act (file under: "stunt, desperate") that was the strongest evidence yet that while Pastner may not have his players' total attention, he'll try anything to get it.
But they're undefeated since then. They're conference champs. They're playing their best basketball -- read: hard, smart, "right" -- in the month of March.
If the guy hasn't totally mastered this coaching gig, give him this: He's got impeccable timing.
Or maybe he's just been paying attention to the job the local NBA coach has been turning in the last couple of seasons.
The Grizzlies' Lionel Hollins -- now there's a guy who can seriously coach.
He doesn't have a bubbly personality. He sometimes seems as if he'd just as soon coach in a closed gym, with no media to pester him and no fans to cheer for Hamed Haddadi. But think about it: He's convinced a collective of NBA players to do -- on a consistent basis -- what NBA players supposedly hate to do: win with hard work, hew stubbornly to a plan, and listen to one voice: his.
That, sports fans, is coaching.
And it seems to be catching.

Emma Goldman
Emma Goldman was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing, and speeches.

Born in Kovno in the Russian Empire, Goldman emigrated to the U.S. in 1885 and lived in New York City, where she joined the burgeoning anarchist movement in 1889.

Mad Jim Jaspers looked around himself. How had he gotten stuck here? He had no idea. Strangely enough this had been his idea of a vacation. But how does someone who has been across the cosmos and through the multiverse take a vacation from the ordinary? Well they don't. Except that Jim had something he could do, he could create his own. He wanted a vacation away, but he knew that he would only create himself a new one at any chance he got. So it was pretty easy, create a world which he was bound to for two weeks and which he could not leave.
"Another Vanilla Coke?" the waitress asked him.
"I didn't want it the first time when I got here," he said "stop asking me!" He wanted to remove her from existence but he couldn't. In fact she had more power over him at the moment even though he had created her. He had thought a 1950s style diner waitress at a resort would be funny, it wasn't.
"What can I get for you then?" she said.
"You can get me out of here," he replied.
"Never heard of one of those," she said, "Vanilla Coke it is." She walked away and left him sitting there staring at the table in his patio. Surely there had to be a way to get out of here! Some kind of temporal loophole, a dimensional anomaly. Whatever it was he could not take another ten days of sitting at the beach while the myriad of strange characters harassed him on a daily basis. Is this really what people like when they go on vacation? There was no action just a lot of sitting and thinking.
He looked out to the water. The girls in their bikinis were out frolicking in the waves. He had thought at the beginning that such moments of levity would add to his experience as well, but now he was indifferent to them. All he could think of was that they would be getting a sunburn, at least if he had allowed a sun where people get sunburns (he didn't want to inadvertently get a burn himself.)
"Is there no end to this torture?" he asked aloud.
"You wish something sir?" the butler asked from behind him. He had forgotten that he had created a butler that responded to every verbal cue and that he couldn't talk without being harassed by him either.
"End the torture," Jim said.
"That is not on the days events," the butler said, "but if you like I can sign you up for the watercraft lesson later on in the day?"
"I did that my first day and it was boring," Jim said, "just get out of here, leave me alone."
"As you wish sir," the butler said, "all the same though I will sign you up for the lesson."
The butler walked away and disappeared. Jim sat there wondering how it was that he was going to escape from this place, the most torturous of locations, and one created by his own mind.
Black Panther vs Deadpool
Black Panther was on a plane heading back to Wakanda from New York. He had heard reports of Deadpool killing the heroes in Europe and he needed to go home to protect his kingdom. Once his plane arrived in the general area of Wakanda air space, missiles were heading towards his plane. A missile hit the wing of the plane and military drones shot the pilots in the cockpit. The main pilots head fell on the button that opened the part of the plane where large objects were stored.
Black Panther put on his suit and grabbed a parachute. He made a running jump out of the plane and opened it over a jungle. He stealthily moved around the jungle to find a point where he could scout out the area, however a missile landed not too far from him and it exploded into a fiery inferno. Black Panther made a run for it from the infernos to the capitol of Wakanda. He made it to the capitol but he arrived to find it also in flames. He knew the only man responsible for this is Wade Willson. He begins to walk into the burning city as a sniper bullet hits him in the chest. It falls to the ground as he looks up and sees Deadpool with Storms head next to him.
"Damn vibranium suit, why can't you just be like your name and be unlucky?" Enraged Black Panther lunges at Deadpool with his super human jumping, pouncing on him like a panther. "I will stop your reign of terror Deadpool!"
Deadpool kicked Black Panther and he took out his Katana blades. He tried to stab Black Panther in the heart but the tips of the blades just broke off on your armor. Deadpool looked at the ends for a few moments giving Black Panther the chance to beat on him. He hit Deadpool in all of his vital areas and pressure points. He falls over but gets right back up.
"I was trying to think of something witty!" Deadpool said as he slashed at his suit. The suit tore but his skin was still safe. Both he and Deadpool charged in the air at each other with Deadpool screaming "Matrix style slomo!" he took out a gun that froze time for Black Panther making him move slower. Deadpool put a shot gun to the open part of Black Panthers suit and shot him. The shock put him back into real time. He grabbed Deadpools broken Katana and cut of his head. He limped off to a rock were he laid down on a rock not too far from where Deadpools decapitated body was. He sighed but then heard a ticking noise from Deadpools body. He tried to run from it but before he could get up a nuclear bomb went off destroying all of Wakanda.

text: Okay, well while falling asleep last night I was thinking about Disneyland. One of the thoughts I thought () was how TSI related to Critter Country and NOS. Now looking from NOS across the river to TSI is really out of the theme of the place you are...with the one notable exception of they both have Pirate things. Is it just me or is it a little odd that, that is. Same for Critter Country. Here we are in a land where we are supposed to be in the woods. And we look out and see this whole island with treehouses and pirate stuff. That is just out of theme! Now my question and challenge to you MiceChatters is how could Disney make TSI at least a little like the lands around it? How could they make it fit into the theme?

India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni said here on Friday the 49th and 50th overs India bowled were "quite bad".
Ishant Sharma conceded 20 in the 49th and Bhuvaneshwar Kumar 18 in the 50th.
"We knew that the last 10 overs would be crucial with only four fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle. You find the gap and it will be a four.
"It was certainly not a 325 wicket, but 280 or 290 wicket," said Dhoni before the power in the media conference room and press box was shut down to allow for the laser show for the spectators.
"Shall I leave? I think I have answered most of the questions," said Dhoni in pitch dark conditions in the conference room.
Dhoni also said he was not aware about Shami Ahmed's skills to bowl on flat wickets, especially yorkers. "Dinda has the experience and bowls yorker-length deliveries," he said.

On April 25, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) announced that it has opened a formal criminal investigation into London-listed ENRC, following allegations of fraud, bribery and corruption surrounding its assets in Kazakhstan and Africa.
The probe will come as no surprise to many as it follows recent claims by a whistleblower, which led to the suspension of a manager in Mozambique and the initiation of an internal investigation led by a law firm. The SFO had already made a formal demand for documents from that law firm, meaning that they had reasonable grounds to suspect an offense involving serious or complex fraud or corruption.

Their skin is charred. Their bones melted away. Many watched their parents die. Yet they consider themselves the lucky ones. 65 years ago, they survived the unimaginable: the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
They are called the Hibakusha. They are a unique group which hopes their dramatic stories will convey the need to eliminate the scourge that nearly killed them during two days that changed the world, 65 years ago.
Mikiso Iwasa says August 6th, 1945 began like any other day. "It was a hot summer day, and the cicadas were singing," said Iwasa. Then the sound changed.
"We heard the sound…from the north and the children screamed. It's a plane! It's a plane!," he recalled.
During that day in the Japanese city of Hiroshima, survival rested solely on being in the right place at the right time.
Iwasa believes he survived the atomic bomb dropped out of the U.S. B-29 plane, named the Enola Gay, only because he was sheltered directly behind his home.
While then seven-year-old Michiko Kodoma's classmates played outside, she went inside her wooden elementary school that day, to take her seat. Suddenly she saw a light.
"I saw a bright blast, and I saw yellow and silver and orange and all sorts of colors that I can't explain. Those colors came and attacked us, and the ceiling beams of the wooden school along with the glass from the window pane all shattered and blew away all at once."
Kodoma says what she witnessed next are horrors that no child should ever experience. "[There were] people whose eyeballs had popped out their sockets. There were those who held their babies – burnt black; they themselves had no skin. There were those whose intestines had come out of their bodies, and confused they struggled to put them back in."
After the blast, Kodoma's father found her and carried her to safety on his back. Together, they tried to save her older sister, but here injuries were too severe.
"Three days later, she leaned on me and passed away," Kodoma said.
The initial bomb blast on Hiroshima is believed to have killed 70,000 people.
The horror did not end. On August 9, and 230 miles south of Hiroshima, similar scenes of death and anguish unfolded again; this time in Nagasaki.
65 years later, time has healed many of the wounds inflicted by Japan and the United States on each other. Today, it is hard for younger generations to even fathom that these staunch allies were once bitter enemies.
The Hibakusha, which in Japanese means explosion-affected people, fear that time has also made people forget. Their numbers continue to dwindle, leaving them little time to remind people of the horrors they experienced.
The group travels around Japan and the world, preaching tolerance and peace.
In May, many of them struggled to board planes, perhaps for the final time. They travelled to New York for the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Talks held at the United Nations. They wanted to seize the momentum created by the Obama administration and other global leaders who are fighting to stop nuclear proliferation.
Sumiteru Taniguchi, still struggling from his injuries, travels with respiratory equipment. He tells his tale and lifts his shirt with arms that reveal melted skin to show the world where his rib cage had once been.
"Every day I wondered when I would die. Every day I would scream, Kill me! Kill me!"

This Caravan Park is located 3kms from Cowell, so you need a car to reach here. The road to the park was located on the RH side as we were heading towards Whyalla. There is a blue caravan sign to point you in the right direction!
The Park is dirt with shade trees, it has a clean amenities block and an undercover BBQ area where there is an open fireplace. There is a good playground and solar heated swimming pool, and if you come here with your pet, then that is ok too.
Fishing is pretty good in the area, so a fish cleaning table has been provided. A boat ramp is only 100 metres from the caravan park and the office sells bait.
We found the staff to be helpful and friendly and we enjoyed our stay here the best we could.
Nothing wrong with the park, just a strong cold wind blowing straight from the ocean.
The office is open from 8-8pm daily.
There are 5 cabins available for rent.
I enjoyed the lovely views from the Caravan Park

Can a beautiful, sophisticated Parisian courtesan find happiness with a young man from the country? Or is her love affair doomed by a past she cannot keep secret? Celebrated OTSL music director Stephen Lord brings Puccini's gorgeous music and romantic storytelling to life in this stunning, new belle epoque period production.
Critically acclaimed soprano Corinne Winters returns as the beautiful Magda, after unforgettable performances as Vendulka in 2013's The Kiss ("a radiant voice and winsome allure" — New York Times), Michaëla in 2012's Carmen ("singing with beauty and intelligence" — Post-Dispatch), and Mélisande in 2011's Pelléas and Mélisande ("her natural radiance and vulnerability were affecting" — Opera News), opposite Anthony Kalil in his company debut as her lover, Ruggero.

By SHEFAH SZETU
Charlene Rajendran takes readers on thought-provoking, unexpected journeys.
MALAYSIAN writer Charlene Rajendran only started taking taxis regularly when she moved to Singapore eight years ago.
A theatre writer, performer and educator, she currently works and lives on campus at Nanyang Technology University. Having decided not to own a car, her days are often punctuated by "little tales" in taxis.
The tales in her book range from the quirky to the profound, weaving together a collage of little journeys and the conversations that ensue in this "in-between" space. Rajendran finds that unlike most other spaces in our lives, it is free of expectations, a small release valve in our pressurised lives.
"I think our urban environments are becoming increasingly structured," observes Rajendran. "You do this here and that there, and the two don't overlap. Writing the book got me thinking: What do we do with all these little in-between spaces?"
The innately human trait of emphasising differences rather than sameness is a key issue examined in this book, as the author traces that which connects us. Upon closer inspection, what may at first seem to be a "blank space" shuttling one from A to B is, she observes, not at all neutral.
"I think a lot depends on my mood and the vibe of the taxi driver. Just their voice, as you rarely see their face," she explains.
Rajendran's own voice displays a confident and charming repertoire of accents. She often qualifies her statements with the postscript "in a sense", which makes one wonder that there must be other senses.
As a Malaysian with South Indian ancestry who lives closer to Johor than Singapore's Orchard Road, Rajendran sees herself as an "insider-outsider". She recounts that from a very early age she realised that she didn't fit into any one category: "When you have to narrow it down to one thing, it doesn't work," she explains.
For someone who refuses the convenience of conventions, simple questions don't always have simple answers."Playing devil's advocate makes for good conversation. If you agree too much you won't get a conversation, you will only get a moaning session – no point lah," she says.
Perhaps it is her background in theatre that makes her comfortable with the concept of "playing face" or wearing masks, which, rather than being seen as duplicitous, can provide what she calls "an arrow to deeper realities".
"I don't think a mask is a bad thing, I think we are all wearing masks," she says.
When I ask her how she sees herself, she answers that, "I'm really like a Joker, lah, with a capital J ... I want to play this game with you! I want to provoke you to think," she grins mischievously. Like a cross between a court jester and a Zen monk, she prods your assumptions with invisible fists.
The crooked bridge in the title initially refers to former Malaysian Prime Minister (now) Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's failed bridge across the Causeway project, but as the story evolves so does the metaphor.
"When you build a bride you're supposed to build it nice and straight, when in fact a lot of the ways we negotiate bridges between people is extremely circuitous," observes Rajendran. In taxis, and in life, the direct route is rarely the best.
Written in the vein of folk tales, the book follows the tradition of oral story-telling. That "telling tales" can be viewed as a propensity to bend the truth only seems to excite her rather than put her off.
When writing the book, she discarded the idea of recording the conversations because she wanted to ensure the drivers remain completely unidentified. In these encounters, her own identity as the author is the only one that is revealed, and even that fact "is completely up for grabs", she notes."I wanted to be completely interpretive, completely selective and, in that sense, it borders on fictional: What really happened? What really was said?"
Rajendran observes that spontaneity is a rare commodity in Singapore, which is a high surveillance society that "rarely believes that play is edifying, knowledge-gaining, or thought-provoking".
So how does a person like her survive in a place where kindness is instilled though public campaigns? She explains to me that she imagines Singapore as barren typography; its soil overworked, emptied of its nutrients – but yet, "In the cracks, people do survive, resilient, talented, and wonderful people".
In the book's final tale, the author turns the prescribed driver-passenger rules on their head by asking the driver to decide where to take her. I won't tell you where she ends up – except that it isn't the Esplanade.
Shefah Szetu is made in Malaysia but raised by Vikings up north. When she grows up, she wants to be just like you.

vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield Stabilizes Life-Threatening Plaque
Healthy Vessel Seen in 6-Month Follow-up Exam on First Patient to Receive Preventive Treatment for Vulnerable Plaque
To date, the treated artery demonstrated excellent blood flow and healing. As part of the healing process the Shield is now covered by a thin layer of tissue, incorporating it into the arterial wall. This is a hallmark of a successful implant and demonstrated that the Shield performed much better than would be expected for traditional bare metal stents and comparable to the first generation of drug-eluting stents.
"The self-expanding vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield minimizes injury on deployment enabling safe placement over rupture-prone vulnerable plaques," said
Patients enrolled in SECRITT I have been referred to the cath lab for treatment of clinically significant coronary lesions, which are treated according to current standards of care. Using a combination of ultrasound and optical imaging techniques, the SECRITT I investigators examine the coronary arteries for signs of additional, non-flow-limiting vulnerable plaques, for which patients would not generally receive treatment. Patients with vulnerable plaques undergo follow-up diagnostic catheterizations 6 months post-treatment, at which time investigators determine the Shield's impact.
According to Professor Serruys, the vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield represents a logical extension of modern cardiac medicine: "We are very good at opening arteries that are blocked, but we have not succeeded in preventing heart attacks related to plaque rupture. The vProtect(TM) Luminal Shield has demonstrated that it can be safely placed over a vulnerable lesion without rupturing the plaque, and the results at six months are extremely promising. The Shield performed exactly as intended, allowing us to prevent plaque rupture and an acute event, rather than trying to repair the damage after the fact."

A lot of ups and downs in the game, could lose or gain
A couple pounds tryin to maintain -- one day you here
The next you not
from Nas – We Will Survive Lyrics on Genius
Again, exemplifying difficulties felt by rappers. There are both pros and cons to being a rapper. Nas compares this to trying to maintain a steady flow of drugs and also alludes to the dangers of both. You could be shot and killed any day, drug dealer OR rapper.
He could be hinting how competitive the hip-hop scene is when he asserts one could lose a couple pounds or gain a couple ones trying to maintain.
One can lose pounds striving to compete and stay relevant since he will definitely have to roll up his sleeves, work hard for it and eventually end up sweating like a pig at the effort. In other words this all thing is pretty much like sports…
As far as i am concerned the "gain pounds" parts refers to merciless attacks an established rapstar has to go through.
It's sort of a lose-lose situation here. The idea here is that being successful in hip hop equals to a Pyrrhic victory.

A smooth, confident right-hander (2-handed backhand), Yevgeny Alexandrevic Kafelnikov of Sochi, was the first Russian to win a major singles title: the French Open in 1996, defeating Michael Stich, 7-6 (7-4), 7-5, 7-6 (7-4). He also won the Australian in 1999, defeating Thomas Enqvist, 4-6, 6-0, 6-3, 7-6 (7-1). He was the best of that territory since Soviet (Georgian) Alex Metreveli (Wimbledon finalist in 1973, world's No. 9 in 1974). He was in the world's Top 10 for six years: No. 6 in 1995; No. 3 in 1996; No. 5 in 1997, 2000; No. 2 in 1999; No. 4 in 2001—and was ranked No. 1 briefly during the 1999 season.
Kafelnikov was born February 18, 1974, in Sochi. A 6-foot-3 blond, he preferred the baseline, though he was a sharp volleyer. He was a rare singles-doubles combiner, also winning four doubles majors—the French in 1996-97 with Daniel Vacek and 2002 with Paul Haarhuis; the U.S. Open in 1997 with Vacek. At the 1996 French, he was the first to score a major singles-doubles double since Ken Rosewall at the 1972 Australian, and the first at the French since Rosewall in 1968.
He lost the Australian final in 2000 to Andre Agassi, 3-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4, but won Olympic singles gold "Down Under" in Sydney later in the year, defeating Tommy Haas of Germany, 7-6 (7-4), 3-6, 6-2, 4-6, 6-3. He led Russia to its first Davis Cup final appearance in 1994 (loss to Sweden) and again in 1995 (loss to the United States), but was on the 2002 squad that won the Cup in 2002 (defeating France).
He turned pro in 1992 and won 26 singles titles (609-306 matches), 25 doubles titles (358-213 matches) and $23,883,797 prize money.
MAJOR TITLES (6) — French Open singles, 1996; Australian Open singles 1999, French Open doubles, 1996, 1997, 2002; US Open doubles, 1997.
DAVIS CUP — 1993-2002; 31-16 singles, 13-12 doubles (1 Cup)
SINGLES RECORD IN THE MAJORS — Australian (28-7), French (31-10), Wimbledon (16-10), US (24-9).

The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday created a new exemption to the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provision that requires for-profit companies to offer birth control health insurance coverage to their employees. In a 5-4 vote, the justices ruled that the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) applies to closely held companies and shields them from having to provide contraception coverage to their employees. In the Court's majority opinion, a closely held corporation is loosely defined as "being owned and controlled by members of a single family."
Under the ACA and related U.S. Department of Health and Human Services regulations, many health plans must cover certain preventive services for women without cost sharing in the form of coinsurance, copayments and deductibles. These preventive services include "all Food and Drug Administration approved contraceptive methods, sterilization procedures, and patient education and counseling for all women with reproductive capacity." The "contraception mandate," as it became known, requires companies with 50 or more full-time employees to provide female participants covered by a company health plan with specified contraceptive coverage at no cost, or face financial penalties.
The contraceptive mandate has been the subject of lawsuits across the country since the ACA became law. In the Hobby Lobby case decided earlier this week, the Supreme Court combined two cases challenging the mandate—Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. and Conestoga Wood Specialties Corp. v. Burwell. In both cases, the owners of private, family-owned for-profit corporations argued that it would violate their religious beliefs to facilitate access to certain contraceptive drugs or devices.
The court made clear that its decision in Hobby Lobby is limited to the contraceptive mandate. It stated that the decision does not hold that all mandates must necessarily fall if they conflict with an employer's religious beliefs. (The Court gave the example of mandates regarding vaccinations and blood transfusions.) It also stressed that the ruling does not allow employers to ignore other laws that prohibit employment discrimination based on religion under the guise of an employer's own religious freedom acknowledged in the Hobby Lobby decision.

Crude prices mixed in Asian trade
popular .
SINGAPORE – Oil prices were mixed in Asia on Monday with downward pressure coming from a slip in US industrial output, analysts said.
New York's main contract, light sweet crude for delivery in March eased 14 cents to $95.72 a barrel while Brent North Sea crude for delivery in April added 26 cents to $117.92.
Trading was restrained "after an unexpected dip in US industrial production spurred concerns about lagging economic activity", Phillip Futures said in a report.
Official data Friday showed industrial production in the United States – the world's largest economy and oil consumer— contracting 0.1 percent in January, with manufacturing output falling 0.4 percent.
"Economists had been expecting a modest increase in industrial output in January," Phillip Futures said.

COLUMBIA, S.C., Sept. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Benefits enrollment
management is a top concern for businesses of all sizes. Just when
employers think they have their enrollments under control, they discover
issues like these that complicate the enrollment:
-- Employees don't understand their benefits and don't realize the value
of what their employer provides.
-- Health plan changes that must be communicated to all employees.
-- A handful of employees who are located in remote locations.
-- Their strapped human resources department doesn't have enough staff or
resources to conduct the enrollment.
Colonial Life & Accident Insurance Company's new web-based Harmony(R) enrollment system helps businesses address those concerns. "Advances in enrollment technology make it easier for employers to get their arms around their enrollment issues," says Henry Price, senior vice president of customer acquisition services for Colonial Life. "For example, because the Harmony(R) enrollment system is web-based, the employer can get daily reports on enrollment progress. It also offers offline options when Internet connectivity may be an issue for an employer."
(Logo: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20080109/CLW033LOGO )
"In today's environment, businesses aren't all neatly packaged in one location with in-house employees," Price says. "In fact, many businesses have multiple locations, as well as employees who work in the office, outside the office, in their homes, on the road or across the country. So, you can't take a one-size-fits-all approach to enrolling employees."
The Harmony(R) enrollment system has the flexibility to enroll all of
an employer's benefits anytime, anywhere - meeting any employer's open
enrollment needs. Colonial Life benefits representatives can use the system

Dame Eyola - Dame, to me, is a title. Eg, Dame Judy Dench, Dame Maggie Smith, Dame Helen Mirren, Dame Julie Andrews. So, to me, this sounds like a Dame who is named Eyola.
Persia - I could see this working. If India, Dallas, Carolina, Georgia, Ireland, etc can work, why not Persia?
Forever, Illumination, Reminisce, Diary - These are all a little too out there, IMO. They could potentially work as creative middles with the right first name... but honestly they are a little cheesey. And I can't help but think that a little Diary would be teased and called diarrhea.
Heart - I can totally see this as a middle. I think it would work well, especially for a child born around the parent's anniversary. Cute.Ladies

How much will foreclosures rise this year? A lot.
By Suzy Khimm,
Sales of foreclosed homes are expected to rise to 1.25 million in 2012 — a 25 percent increase from last year, according to new data from Moody's Analytics first reported by Bloomberg. As a result, home prices in the 20 biggest U.S. metro areas are expected to drop by 2.9 percent this year, according to Celia Chen, a housing economist at Moody's Analytics, citing the Case-Shiller/S&P Home Price Index. Carlos Barria Reuters
The drop comes because the market will be working through the backlog of homes that had been held up before the mortgage fraud settlement was finalized in February. But the sudden glut poses risks for the economy, Chen says. "As long as home prices are falling, the economy is at risk of falling into another recession, because people are going to be nervous about buying homes." That said, the economy — along with other parts of the housing market — has shown other signs of picking up, so Chen still expects the overall economy to expand in 2012.
The more hopeful scenario is that deep-pocketed investors are becoming interested in buying up distressed homes in bulk, and they could see this sudden rush of foreclosures as an opportunity to make some big deals.

Following the Telangana development, rumblings of a separatist movement has begun down south in Karnataka as well.
Two main separatist groups have got up from their slumber in Madikeri and Mangalore and soon they may surface with demands for carving out Tulu Nadu and Kodava Land from Udupi in Dakshina Kannada and Kodagu respectively.
The Codava National Council (CNC) had already demanded special status for the Kodava community after the national census had indicated an appalling decline in the number of natives in Kodagu district.
"The struggle for a separate statehood for Kodagu has been in the air for the past 24 years. It stemmed out of a long wait for the state to give Kodagu its share of resources.
Kodavas, who are natives of Kodagu district, are never given their share in government jobs and many other government resources that is needed for the development of Kodagu," said journalist AC Mahesh Nachaiah.
Meanwhile, the CNC is planning to take a delegation to the central government and hold a meeting outside the parliament house in Delhi later this year. "We are a community that is dwindling in numbers at a fast rate. There is a need to sustain the Kodava genus constitutionally under the article 340 and 342, which provides for recognising ethno linguistic tribal minority nationality," said NU Nachappa, president of the CNC.
"We may not press for a separate statehood, but we will definitely press for autonomous region status for Kodagu," he added.
According to the 2011 census, there were 2.25 lakh Kodavas in the world, of which, only 1.25 lakh Kodavas were living within the political jurisdiction of Kodagu district. Kodagu was a separate C grade state till 1956, when the reorganisation of states was taken up.
Meanwhile, the demand for granting separate statehood for Tulu Nadu is picking pace. The first call for Tulu Nadu was made just after the quit India movement in 1942.
"Srinivas Updhyaya Paniyadi, a banker and a press owner from Udupi, had given momentum to this movement in 1943-44, when the leaders were organising their regions on the basis of languages. At that point of time, the Karnataka Ekikarana Samithi had requested Paniyadi not to press for Tulu Nadu. But, with the winds of bifurcation of states for creating smaller administrative units taking place in Telangana, the Tulu Nadu movement should also start now and we are getting together for a series of meetings, starting on Friday," said Niranjan Rai of the World Tulu Federation (formerly Tulunada Rajya Chavadi).

Accident cancels Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride - but there's lots more for city's cyclists to do
Safety first as organisers take decision to pull plug on event, but it will be back next year
Previous News
Next News
Organisers of Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride, cancelled on Sunday due to a combination of a road traffic accident and poor weather that made conditions dangerous for entrants, have said it is impossible to reschedule the event for later this year, but promise it will be back in 2012.
The four rides that make up the mass-participation event open to all ages and abilities had each been due to travel on a route including the Portway, closed to motor traffic each year to allow Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride to take place.
However, an accident involving a van there on Sunday morning before the road was closed resulted in diesel and glass being spread across the surface, while there were also fears that a lamp post over the road might collapse.
With safety considerations uppermost, organisers cancelled the ride for the first time in the 18 years it has been held, and as it turned out it was four hours before the road could be cleared and reopened.
Councillor Jon Rogers, Bristol City Council's Executive Member for Cycling, commented: "Everyone was really disappointed. Over 5,500 people had registered to take part, and more were registering on the morning of the event. 100's of people had already turned up ready to ride, even in the rain, when the decision came through that the event was cancelled.
"Today, we considered the the possibility of rescheduling the event for later in the year. Bristol's Biggest Bike Ride is a major event that involves a huge amount of work and resources to ensure that it is safely and properly run for thousands of people to enjoy.
"It was concluded that logistically it is not possible to reschedule for this year. However, we'll concentrate efforts on making next year's event even better. In the meantime, I would encourage everyone to enjoy the many other cycling events being held in and around Bristol this summer."
In the meantime, there are a number of other cycling-realted events coming up in Bristol in the months ahead, starting with the World Naked Bike Ride on Sunday.
The same day sees Dinotour, a family cycling treasure hunt for dinosaur clues that follows 13 miles of the Bristol-Bath Railway Path between Whitehall and Bath.
On Thursday 23 June, there's the Bristol Bike and Walk Picnic on College Green, and on Saturday 25th June, cyclists get half-price entry at Bristol Zoo Gardens.
Finally, 17 July sees the 56-mile Great Weston Ride, which starts in Bristol before heading over the Mendips and the Somerset Levels to Weston-Super-Mare.
Full details of all those events and others can be found on the Better By Bike website.
drove past on the way to the burnham tri at about 7:45. There was a van that had crashed into the barriers but it was a good 5m off the carriageway beyond a footpath. There was no debris on the carriageway and unless the van had hit a lighting pole and then moved it seems odd that there was a risk from one as there didnt appear to be anything affected.
A bit of an over reaction but given the weather on sunday it was probably quite nice for the council to have this as an excuse.
not all carbon is the same.

Diesel on the road is remarkably easy to clean up, once you know it's there.
Step 1: get a bucket
Step 2: fill it with hot water and mix in household washing up liquid
Step 3: pour mixture over affected area of road and sweep vigorously with stiff bristle brush.
The detergent breaks up the oily diesel particles very effectively and allows the roadway to be cleaned effectively and quickly. Anyone with O grade chemistry should know this. Animal testing isn't particularly nice but it means household detergents used for washing up are known to be safe.

Aha, I worked as a lab technician at a grain merchant one summer on account of that chemistry o grade. If you think napthalene is bad try picking up a test tube with concentrated suplhuric acid on the inside as well as spilled on the outside. I picked it up, wondered what the sticky stuff was on the outside (concentrated H2 SO4 is quite viscous, put the test tube down and then marvelled as my finger tips turned first red then black. only when they were properly black did the pain hit. I didn't have any fingerprints for a month or so. They do grow back.

I ordered and received a 3D Print design prototype in White, Strong & Flexible, and was delighted with the product and service, with the exception of the turn-around time. I live near Las Vegas, NV - when Shapeways start producing in New York State, turn-around time for US orders should be quicker. Of course, since receiving the WSF print I have modified the design and ordered another print along with a few other models I'm planning to offer through a Shapeways Store. I know there will a learning curve I'll have to get through before every thing is up and running smoothly. (i.e., wire sizes and changing material specifications and processes) This brings me to some problems that have me stuck: When I followed the steps in your How to open a Shop tutorial, I am instructed to open a My Designs page. I assume this is the same as My Models page listed under "Doug Thornton" on the home page when I log into Shapeways.com. I have looked for a My Designs page - no luck. Anyway: 1) I have not been able to get a png or jpg photo/image to upload in the Edit Models Mode/Add a photo browser. I have attempted both 674 by 501 and 450 by 324 pixel images. 2) I have not been able to get a png or jpg mug-shot photo/image to upload on the Account page.

Participants only ask for extension of the project and water for more areas
440 hectares of forestland required for the project works in Anantapur districtInterested sections either seek higher compensation or project water for more areas None speaks on the environmental aspect
ANANTAPUR: A public hearing conducted here on Monday to receive objections and suggestions on the impact of works pertaining to Handri-Neeva project on the environmental aspects in the district was reduced to a mere formality due to poor participation of the sections concerned.
Speaking at the meeting, Collector Y.V. Anuradha stated that notification on the environmental objections pertaining to Handri-Neeva project was issued to elicit the public opinion before giving a clearance.
There was not much forest cover and wild life in the district and the clearance would come without any hassle.
Only 440 hectares of forestland, which did not have much vegetation, was required for the project works in the district.
The reservoirs to be constructed under the project also required small amount of land and the area of submergence was also very little, the Collector explained.
Many seats unoccupied
All the participants, including Hindupur legislator P. Ranganayakulu, only demanded extension of the project and water for more areas. The seating arranged for VIPs and politicians, including the elected representatives, was seen vacant all through, as their participation was minimal.
A handful of public and a few other interested sections either demanded higher compensation for their lands acquired for the project works or the project water for more areas in the district. But, nobody spoke on the environmental aspect for which the meeting was convened.
The hearing was conducted by the regional office of the Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board.
