After paying way too much attention to rules and 1:1 stuff in my Mustang build, I decided to relax a bit and ProMod a '49 Merc.
Before I go anywhere with this, I want to extend my apologies to Dr. Cranky for what I'm about to do to this beautiful auto. The 49 Merc was off my radar until I found his YouTube links and watched his various builds on this car. In fact, Cranky's responsible for my being here at all. I found MCM by following the links he posted on his home page at the Lab-Rat-Ory… Gotta love the guy for all he has done for scale auto modeling. Even if weathering isn't your bag.
Since there's some interest on the board as to how to whack up a perfectly good model, I'll post a few more photos as I go. This is how I do this and everyone has a different approach.
As far as NHRA stuff goes, all I need to really concern myself with is wheelbase and width over the rear axle. The limit for wheelbase in PM is 115 inches and the stock Merc is 118, so that's not a big deal with the fender skirts left on. I figured it needs to be narrowed by around 5 or 6mm to make it the scale equivalent to 70 inches at the back axle. Rather than cut that right out of the middle, I wanted to preserve some of the character of the car in the nose and top so I cut it to the right and left of center in those areas. My way of marking that was to glue strips of 2mm 1/2 round down the length of the car to guide my cuts. Getting glue on the body of a car is a big no-no, but I'm going to throw it away, right?
Here's what it looks like before the cuts with a little coming off the bottom as well.
The cutting is done with the back side of a fresh razor knife blade that is turned around to the sharp side when the cut starts to show through the plastic. Some of the curves and thicker plastic required a razor saw.
The aftermath.
Now to put it back together… I used thin tabs of styrene to help align the sides of the pieces while I reassembled the car. I started at the back and worked towards the front one section at a time using liquid or gel glue or CA, depending on what worked.
And it looked like this. The gaps in the nose are going to take a little more body work than I would like.
Here's the nose after an application of Milliput two part epoxy putty, something that I learned about here on this forum. It works like clay and hardens like sand able rock. The adhesive quality of the epoxy helps a lot in stabilizing a project like this. I applied it to the inside of all of the joints until is started to seep out just a bit. It reacts with water and a wet finger can be used to smith and thin it out. It comes in several grades and this is Standard Yellow-Grey
The first stage of the outside is Milliput Extra Fine White.
This will cure overnight in my dehydrator before I start to sand it.
Thanks for your time.

China central bank urges proper management of risk, liquidity
Published on Feb 8, 2014 9:22 PM
BEIJING (REUTERS) - China's central bank urged commercial banks to properly manage liquidity while reiterating its promise to keep monetary policy stable and to clamp down on risky lending, noting that the world's second-largest economy has yet to find a stable base for growth.
In its quarterly monetary policy report released on Saturday, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) said it would step up oversight of lending in risky areas such as the property sector and industries struggling with overcapacity.
The bank is trying to rein in an explosion of off-balance sheet and risky lending as cautious government regulators resist speedier financial reform that would force markets to price risk more realistically.
"We will guide commercial banks to strengthen liquidity and asset liability management," the PBOC said, to make sure financial institutions are supporting the real economy rather than speculative activity.

At UN, Myanmar blasts sanctions, pledges democracy
UNITED NATIONS The highest-ranking official from Myanmar's military government to appear before the U.N. General Assembly in 14 years lashed out Monday against Western sanctions on his country, but promised to take "systematic steps to hold free and fair elections" next year.
Defiance of the West underpinned the speech by Myanmar's prime minister, Gen. Thein Sein, even as he outlined the military junta's plans for its "transition to democracy" long sought by the United States, Britain, France and their Western allies.
"Sanctions are being employed as a political tool against Myanmar and we consider them unjust," Thein Sein said during the General Assembly's annual high-level gathering that began last week at U.N. headquarters in New York. "Democracy cannot be imposed from the outside and a system suitable for Myanmar can only be born out of Myanmar society."
His speech came two days after U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged a ministerial meeting of southeast Asian nations to take a tougher line on Myanmar, also known as Burma. Ban's own diplomatic efforts, including two high-profile trips there since last year, have yielded few tangible short-term results.
At a meeting Monday with Thein Sein, Ban pressed again for the junta to respond soon to his proposals for laying the groundwork for fair elections, including the release of pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi and other prisoners.
Also Monday, the top U.S. diplomat for East Asia said that direct U.S. engagement with Myanmar's military leaders could provide crucial answers on the junta's dealings with North Korea.
Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell told reporters that the U.S. policy change on the country is a recognition that neither isolation nor engagement had improved miserable living conditions or political freedoms in Myanmar.
The United States has traditionally been Myanmar's strongest critic, applying political and economic sanctions against the military regime. The U.S. and other Western nations have been pressing sanctions because of its poor human rights record and its failure to turn over power to Suu Kyi's National League for Democracy party, which won general elections in 1990.
U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said last week the policy change toward Myanmar will include direct high-level talks with the military regime but that U.S. sanctions against members of Myanmar's leadership would remain in place.
Clinton also attended Ban's so-called "Group of Friends on Myanmar" at the foreign minister level. Afterward, Singapore's Foreign Minister George Yeo predicted that the new stance would give U.S. and Europe more influence in Myanmar.
China and Russia, two of Myanmar's main supporters, oppose the idea of a U.N.-backed international arms embargo and blocked the U.N. Security Council from doing more than simply registering its opposition to Suu Kyi's return to house arrest on Aug. 11.
Thein Sein said new electoral laws will be fashioned and a new election commission will be formed "so that political parties can be formed and contest the elections."
A bicameral legislature is planned, he said, and a government will be formed under a new Constitution. The adoption of the new and disputed Constitution – approved in a nationwide referendum pushed through in May 2008 despite the wreckage and chaos of Cyclone Nargis weeks earlier – is intended to return Myanmar to civilian rule after four and a half decades.

They disseminate information to the public in addition to writing, preparing materials and responding to all public and media inquiries.

Successful public relations professionals often have a bachelor's degree in journalism, advertising, mass communications or public relations. Advanced degrees in these subject areas are also available at many four-year schools. Internships are recommended so that individuals may learn job-specific duties and skills.

Alan Wake 2 In A Town Called Ordinary?
Remedy man Sam Lake has tweeted: 'It's all true. 'It will happen again, in another town, a town called Ordinary.' It's happening now.' This seems to be a tease for a new Alan Wake game, judging by the link he provided with it, which is packed with Wake references.
But will it trundle onto PC in a timely fashion this time around? Signs point to yes. And I'll interested to see what they do to make Alan Wake 2 stand apart from both the original, and American Nightmare, when that happens. (I wonder if they would go back to that plan of an open-world design?)

not been completed as the Otago Regional Council struggles to
keep up with heavy workloads caused by legislation changes.
A separated cycle lane is to be installed on the north side
of Musselburgh Rise through the Musselburgh shopping area, as

Health and safety needs to be more proactively managed by the
Otago Regional Council, councillor Trevor Kempton says.
Corstophine bus users are happy but those on Otago Peninsula
are puzzled by the Otago Regional Council's latest decision
on public bus routes.
The Otago Regional Council is being forced to spend more than
$100,000 on a temporary footbridge across the Water of Leith

Being able to keep its general rate increase to 2.49% is good

|Well, had to settle back in at work again after our weekend stay with you over Easter, which was great, but suppose we must work to earn cash to come back!
We will certainly pass on your good name to any of our friends.
PS The gesture about our "British Summertime breakfast", was unexpected but welcomed.
Thanks for the lie-in!! See you again.

|Hi Steve and Cath
...thanks for your feedback
To explain to the viewer...the gesture for the "British Summer Time Breakfast" caused me a problem late on Easter Saturday night...I'd had a few "jars" and suddenly realised that it was 2 o'clock...not 1 o'clock...and wondered if many of the guests would remember to reset their watches and thus be in time for brekky....So..we made it easy....we just extended the breakfast period to start from 8:45 and end at 10:30...
..it was a bit confusing working the times out so..this was the easiest all around
Anyways....come back soon!

|Hello from Canada to my future friends. I would first like to comment on your website, you have very nice pictures detailing the surroundings of the hotel and the interior as well. People like to see the rooms where they will be sleeping, so your virtual tour was an excellent marketing tool. Considering the amount of time and money you have put into your website, and from previous visitors comments I am sure our stay with you will be second to none. Looking forward to meeting with you all. Kindest regards Chloe

|What a simply superb site, informative, entertaining and interesting - quite simply the best hotel site I've ever seen. Your hotel looks great too and I wish I'd known about it when I was in Blackpool in mid Jan 01. Just a question, how far in advance do you take bookings? I live in Melbourne, Australia and am toying with the idea of a holiday in England around Christmas of next year (ie Dec 2003).Rgds David Broom
|Our Reply:
|Hi David - thanks very much for your comments. Xmas 2003 is a bit far away to know if we'll be open or not...we havn't even decided about this year yet! To be honest I don't think we'll ever be open at Xmas - we like our family party too much BUT we will be open for New Year and can take bookings at any time for any year for that!

Very good, Rob. I have a high-mileage /5 clutch (188K over 40 years on the clutch plates) that has been through three clutch friction discs (and diaphragm springs). The pressure pieces, being worn, were to be remachined by Southland Clutch, but I was having concerns about the pressure plate and those spot welds to the sheet-metal pan a that mileage. I'm not hard on a clutch, but it seems that the pressure plate might be the weak point here. I'll evaluate it, but I'm inclined to replace with new rather than patch the old part.

Sections of the Calf Segment of the North Umpqua Trail climb away from the river. There are many grade changes throughout the length of the trail, though none exceed 20% in steepness, and most are under 15%. This trail is rocky and can be muddy in the winter months.
Along this segment, the trail stays near the river allowing hikers to hear its rapids. You'll pass along the edge of the Apple Fire on this segment. Here, the North Umpqua River stopped the fire from spreading farther north. Along this segment, you will see burned trees and the beginning of the natural regrowth process.

Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0: Review Examining Greg Frost's Personal Development Program Released
HonestyFirstReviews.com releases a review of Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0, a newly launched personal development program that promises to reveal the secrets to unlocking the limitless potential of one's own mind in order to achieve success and happiness in all areas of life.
Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2014
Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0 – a new home training course that teaches techniques and methods for harnessing the untapped potential of the human mind has just been released to the public, creating a lot of excitement in the personal development community. The buzz surrounding the release of the program has caught the attention of HonestyFirstReviews.com's Tiffany Hendricks, prompting an in-depth review of the course material.
"There are several major challenges facing people in today's world, from attracting the ideal mate, to managing one's finances and career, to maintaining good physical and emotional health," says Hendricks. "And while there's no shortage of self-improvement guides out there for people who are hoping to find success and happiness in life, Frost's course is unique in that it is based on the idea that the reason people never achieve their goals is because they fail to understand how to tap into the limitless potential of the mind. Like many others, I find this idea that the mind contains limitless, untapped potential to be extremely fascinating, so when I was informed of the release of Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0, I was eager to take a look at Frost's course and to review it on our website."
Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0 was developed by Greg Frost a well-known expert in the fields of personal development and brain science. In the course Frost teaches users concentration techniques and meditation methods that train the mind to tap into the power of the subconscious in order to attain success and happiness. There is a significant amount of course material, including but not limited to case studies, a 160-page eBook, and a guide to interpreting dreams. There is also a complete audio book.
"Our Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0 review explains that the course is loaded with material designed to teach people a variety of proven exercises for unlocking their minds' potential." Based on her review of the course, Hendricks concludes that, "the course is informative, easy-to-follow, and contains powerful concentration techniques that focus on positive energy and methods to harness the power of the mind. Thankfully, the author has taken the time to thoroughly explain each technique, making it much easier to understand how the exercises can be used most effectively to maximize results. I think that Mind Secrets Exposed 2.0 is going to help a lot of people transform their lives."

Whether they make it big in life or not, or rake in the moolah, entrepreneurs are a class apart. They not only have a different value system but also a different approach to work and life altogether. Like the holy men who walked the streets or took to the woods or mountains to practise what they believed in, entrepreneurs too take the path less travelled. And much like these holy men, entrepreneurs too have a patient smile on their faces, which comes from the knowledge that the path ahead is not easy, but they take it nonetheless.
The X factor
So, what is it that these people share in common—the one thing that wakes them up at ungodly hours, makes them focus and work hard towards a goal? Could it be the pursuit of happiness? How else does one explain perfectly intelligent, sometimes even genius people, who consciously leave their hi-flying jobs to start something of their own? Take Bengaluru as an example. "Bengaluru has a lot of MNCs that have large R&D departments," explains Bengaluru-based Orbit Change Catalyst, Angel Investor and an entrepreneur himself, Sharad Sharma, "The employees in these departments work with cutting-edge technology, and if a person is working on version 6.2, someday he would feel the need to work on version 1.0, because that, to him, is a challenge. After working on many product releases, he gets affected by boredom and wonders about his aspirations. A classic example of this is Flipkart, which was brought to realisation by the R&D engineers who worked at Amazon.com."
The many faces of entrepreneurship
Is boredom the only trigger for people to pack their bags and leave their 9-5 jobs to become entrepreneurs? "The reasons for quitting a well-paying job can be many," says Mumbai-based psychiatrist Niti Sapru, "They could range from a disconnect with the physical aspects of that job with the emotional and value system of that person, the final result of ongoing difficulties at work, the pursuit of dreams having gained financial security, a realisation that one has outgrown their job, a pre-emption of being sacked, urgent and unplanned situations demanding shift in priorities, burn-out, etc."
"On the other hand, the triggers that help in moving on to become an entrepreneur are being proactive and innovative, taking calculated risks, not depending on others for continual appraisals, believing in work versus destiny, and even seeing the rainbow on a dull, soggy day," explains Sapru. For Amarpreet Kalkat, Co-founder and Chief Technologist at Frrole, the decision to become an entrepreneur sprung out of the need to "do things his own way". After a stint at Travelomy and simultaneously experimenting with Wayr (a location sharing mobile app,) Kalkat knew that his calling was Frrole, a social data intelligence engine. "Follow your conviction," emphasises Kalkat, "because nobody will understand it better than you."
The push and the pull
Sharma believes that triggers can be classified into two types—the push factors and the pull factors. The push factors, simply put, are those that push you to take such a decision, as highlighted in the R&D example above. "But there are some pull factors too, such as adversity. If you can overcome it by fighting your internal constraints, you come out stronger and 'purified'. You can see it on the faces of mountaineers, who are not really fighting the mountain, but are fighting their own fears and limitations—you can see the radiance on their faces! This is an Eastern way of thinking about it, where we focus on our internal growth. In the West, growth is mostly external. I also think that the middle-class background that most entrepreneurs come from, may have something to do with the fact that for them, it is a journey about confronting their own issues," elucidates Sharma.
Adversity, truly, can bring out the best in us, as seen in Kalkat's case. "We faced some challenges when colleagues left, or when there wasn't much money to be made or when we didn't see much support from investors, but that didn't stop us," remarks Kalkat, "We changed the product focus. I don't let these things bother me as I'm quite stubborn."
The circle of life
Is there a flip side to happiness as well—where do entrepreneurs find themselves once the goals are achieved? "Happiness is a state of well-being that can be momentary as well as sustained over a period of time. It is not an end goal in itself. 40 per cent of our happiness is due to our own actions—choosing positivity over negativity," comments Sapru, "People continue taking newer challenges because of the 'high' they derive from achieving their goals, to not slump into complacency, to sharpen their tools as an assurance that they still have it in them, to make a statement to their peers or contemporaries, not to forget the praise and the moolah that goes with attaining new heights. It is the same as wanting to repeat a terrific meal that fires up the senses and uses the pathways of pleasure and reward centres in the brain."Whether it is a tantalising edible treat or achieving 100 per cent growth for your own company, the pursuit of happiness keeps many of us on our toes. All we need is a gentle push or pull, when we're ready to take the plunge.

No. 17 Kansas unable to stop Griner, No. 1 Baylor
LAWRENCE, Kan. Kansas coach Bonnie Henrickson debuted a new offense before Sunday's game against Baylor.
With the Lady Bears' Brittney Griner in the post and Odyssey Sims up top, the Jayhawks were facing a pick-your-poison scenario. They chose to focus on Sims, and even with the revamped game plan, the outcome was far too familiar.
Griner scored 33 points while playing all 40 minutes, Sims had 14 and top-ranked Baylor rolled over No. 17 Kansas 82-60 for the sixth straight win in the series.
With limited success in the first half, the Jayhawks focused on pulling the Lady Bears' defense out and shooting from the perimeter, abandoning their usual paint-driven offense.
By halftime, Griner already had 22 points.
So in the second half, Kansas reverted to its familiar game plan and tried to match up with her in the lane, and the Jayhawks didn't fare a whole lot better.
"She is a great player, she is going to score," said the Jayhawks' Carolyn Davis. "If you limit some of the other things then you have a chance against them."
CeCe Harper came off the bench to score a career-high 21 points for the Jayhawks (11-4, 2-2 Big 12), who had been unbeaten in nine home games. Angel Goodrich added 16 points and seven assists, and Davis finished with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Brooklyn Pope finished with 13 points and 11 rebounds for the Lady Bears (14-1, 4-0), who also won their 26th consecutive conference game.
"We had some shots as a ready shooter," Henrickson said. "You have to knock down uncontested shots against these guys, and we all have that challenge, to manufacture points against them."
Griner started her 128th game for Baylor, breaking Sophia Young's school record set from 2002-06. She also surpassed Oklahoma's Courtney Paris for second in Big 12 history with 2,741 points, and now trails only Oklahoma State's Andrea Riley with 2,835 points.
The Lady Bears dominated the first 10 minutes, working the ball around the perimeter and then finding Griner in the post. The 6-foot-8 forward, with at least 5 inches on anybody guarding her, had little trouble turning around and using a soft touch to repeatedly score.
"I like playing here," said Griner, who had a big game at Allen Fieldhouse last year.
She had 14 points as the Lady Bears raced to a 29-13 lead, the team at one point hitting seven consecutive shots. They wound up shooting 55.6 percent from the field in the first half.
Henrickson eventually called a timeout, and the Jayhawks started to do a better job of denying Griner the ball. Davis spent most of the day guarding her, but Kansas would usually collapse a second - and sometimes a third - player to defend the entry pass.
The Jayhawks responded by slowly trimming into the lead.
Harper hit a pair of 3-pointers, Davis scored a couple baskets around the rim and Goodrich hit her second 3 of the half as Kansas whittled the lead to 38-28 with 4:06 left in the half.

One would hope that if a Technical publication is going to "Plug" for a MMORPG they would also have others to compare it to. and since this appears to be a long term article, please also start looking into the Quality of play available from SONY Online Entertainment. I have personally played nearly everything available there, and even played WoW, have gone back to SONY for my Fantasy Realms. Thank You, Aleri HonoredSpirit, 65 Fury, Butcherblock, World of Norrath, Qeynosian
Your own group on one of those. This is a group blog of Tech Republic members who grace the rest of us on their progress as a guild in WOW. I like the blogs even tho I don't play. I would love to be a voyeur into your worlds also.
How is it any less shameless than your plug of Sony? Or any other TR article that mentions a product in a non-negative way?
His shameless plug of Sony indeed. Also quite amusing as he inserted the comment int a WoW blog, lmao!

Ziba BeautyRead MoreMore than 25 years ago, Kundan Sabarwal opened the doors of a modest 400-square-foot skincare spa in New Delhi, working diligently to gently and efficiently eradicate her clients' unwanted body hair through a blend of ancient techniques and modern indulgences. With a bit of hard-earned success, Ziba Beauty hopped the pond, eventually expanding to 17 locations in two U.S. states. Each studio embraces American style while retaining its overseas roots, amplifying faces and bodies with traditional Indian cosmetic adornment and hair removal. By rolling small loops of cotton thread over brows and other facial areas, threading specialists can remove pesky fuzz without harming the skin or skipping over fine hairs. For more sizeable zones, Sumita Wax, which was developed in India exclusively for Ziba Beauty, quickly sends errant hairs packing on the face and body. Artistic hands ink bodies with the ornate semipermanent designs of traditional mehndi, or cloak clients in sparkle with intricate art in a choice of 32 glitter mehndi colors and shimmering crystals, readying skin for special events better than a full-body tuxedo tattoo.112 Plaza DrWest Covina, CA US
Sense of Joy SpaRead MoreIn a new crimson-trimmed interior, Sense of Joy Spa?s licensed technicians balance inner tranquility and outer beauty with doting spa services that employ Guinot skincare products. The revitalizing European facial begins with gentle cleansers that trail across lips, noses, eyes, the d?collet?, and second noses, succeeded by exfoliation and extractions as needed. Staffers knead away tension holed up in shoulders, necks, and upper arms before brewing a mask customized to specific epidermal types and afflictions. Sultry pouts and stressed-out peepers steep in a beautifying elixir while employees shift their focus to hands and feet.2970 E Workman AveWest Covina, CA US
Flora Day SpaRead MoreComputers drove Flora Low to her career in the beauty industry. Armed with a degree in graphic design, Flora spent the first 25 years of her career with a printing company, but became increasingly dismayed by the amount of time she had to devote to mastering new computer technologies. She decided she wanted out and turned to a career in the beauty industry, partly because she wanted a career that revolved around personal interactions and partly because she didn?t want to work with any more computers. Now, at her own spa and salon, the aesthetician relies on her keen sense of design to help clients achieve flattering, natural looks using permanent makeup, noninvasive cellulite treatments, and rejuvenating facials. The spa?s facial treatments can use specialized combinations of masks or exfoliating peels, imbuing cheekbones with a glow more youthful than that of a baby chandelier. For a more dramatic effect, the aestheticians can also apply permanent makeup to eye lines, lips, or brows. A permanent-makeup session with Flora requires a two-hour consultation to determine the perfect brow arch or lip line. Though the spa always emphasizes that personal touch, the staff nonetheless employs an arsenal of aesthetic technology, as it recognizes that sometimes you need a little advanced machinery to achieve your beauty goals. Thus, technicians wield cellulite-reducing Starvac SP equipment to help tone the body and the CryoProbe cryotherapy machine to minimize the appearance of hyperpigmentation and blemishes.521 N Azusa Ave #BWest Covina, CA US
Southern California Sports RehabilitationRead MoreGetting injured is usually a surefire way to knock your life off course, but it doesn't have to be.

Of SCSR's 11 facilities, six feature on-site swimming pools for aquatic therapy. Tendonitis sufferers can opt for a cutting-edge procedure called Sonocur shockwave therapy, which helps relieve pain, breaks up scar tissue, and increases circulation with pulsed sound waves. This procedure is also FDA- approved for the treatment of tennis elbow and plantar fasciitis?. And there's always physical therapy for those who need a more personal touch.1321 West Garvey Avenue SouthWest Covina, CA US

Good content bad resolutionThe content is absolutely great. Nice story telling technique you will enjoy. Starts off with the Stars of Football and not really a chronological evolution of football. I kind of like this because I could relate to all the big names. As I watched the other episodes I warmed up to the other lesser known charachters.

Winter!: Prepare for holiday gaming!
An addicitive and unique concept of a game. I loved Uplink because it makes Hacking in a game feel so much fun and the sense of anxiety from if or not you'd fail the hack or if you'd get caught for making any mistakes. The gameplay is undeniably fun if you like hacking however once your caught thats it, Game over and there are no saves. I think this game would of been interesting if multiplayer was implemented and you could hack other players who were playing a LAN game. There was a multiplayer option added but it wasn't completed and it was later removed completely. Besides from the disappointment of the multiplayer the game has got several mods which enable you to upgrade your gateways even more and implement things such as real IRC to actual IRC channels outside the game.

Sadananda Gowda leads delegation to Gujarat Chief Minister
A delegation of areca farmers, led by D.V. Sadananda Gowda, former Chief Minister and leader of the Opposition in the Legislative Council, met Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday to discuss the hurdles faced by areca growers all over the country, and especially in Karnataka.
The visit followed a notification by the government of Maharashtra prohibiting arecanut products (even without nicotine or tobacco) and placing arecanut on the list of banned products, said a press release.
Potential market
The delegation said that Gujarat was a potential market for arecanut and traders were apprehensive that the Maharashtra Food Commissioner's notification may set a trend, jeopardising the future of arecanut and its farmers and traders, adding to the crisis in the arecanut market.
'Ban baseless'
The ban on arecanut was baseless as the produce was not carcinogenic, they said. Since Gujarat consumes the bulk of arecanut, Mr. Modi was requested to safeguard the interests of the areca farmers.
Following the discussion, Mr. Modi assured the delegation that there would no move to ban arecanut products in Gujarat.
The press release said that arecanut was precious, was not carcinogenic, and had medicinal values.
Mangalore MP Nalin Kumar Kateel, the former Deputy Chief Minister K.S. Eshwarappa, Central Arecanut and Cocoa Marketing and Processing Cooperative Ltd. (CAMPCO) president Konkodi Padmanabha and CAMPCO Managing Director M. Suresh Bhandary were part of the team, said the release.
Keywords: Areca growers, Mangalore farmers, Narendra Modi, Sadananda Gowda

Sportscasters call pass-wacky spread offenses radical. They were, in the 1940s when they were devised. One of the best books about football tactics is Dutch Meyer's "Spread Formation Football," published 1952. In it the TCU coach details how he learned to "spread the field" and produce high-scoring college games in the late 1940s. His ideas reached the pros, where high-scoring outcomes occurred before many of today's football enthusiasts were born. (ESPN.com's Mark Schlabach expertly summarized the history of high-octane offense in this 2009 story.) The most total points ever in an NFL game, 113, happened in 1966. The third-most, 101, happened in 1963. The most points ever in a first half, 49, happened in 1983. The most points ever in a second half, also 49, happened in 1941.
Today's pass-wacky offenses are fun to watch, and the season may end with a record pace for overall points production. But nothing is new under the sun: Shootouts would seem normal to Dutch Meyer.
StubHub World: Going into the weekend, 50-yard-line seats behind the home bench were being offered at $650 each for the monster New Orleans at Seattle contest. Bleacher seats for the woofer Jaguars A&M at Browns pairing were offered at $8 each -- until an eBay-like competition broke out, and someone began offering seats at $7.98 to undercut the $8 seller.
Best Purist Drive: In the rematch of Stanford versus Harvard quarterbacks, Indianapolis led 15-14 and took possession with eight minutes remaining. The Colts staged an 11-play clock-killer touchdown drive, rushing on nine of 11 snaps to keep the tick-tick-tick in progress.
Book News: The headline from France's parliament at first blush sounds absurd -- what do they mean there is no such thing as race? Actually, this is a hotly debated point in genetics, sociology and other fields, as Steve Olson laid out in The Atlantic Monthly 12 years ago. The more is known about DNA, the more race appears to be a social construct: that black and white people are no more different than blondes and brunettes.
This emerging theory is reflected in a book about to be released, "A Dreadful Deceit: The Myth of Race from the Colonial Era to Obama's America," by Jacqueline Jones, a highly regarded University of Texas historian. Your columnist just finished an advance copy, and was impressed -- the volume may have a lasting impact on American thought.
Jones persuasively argues that the wealthy and powerful of previous centuries were obsessed with holding back the poor. Pretending blacks represent a different "race" than whites created an excuse, she contends, for the well-off to mistreat blacks; and also a lever to prevent poor blacks and poor whites from joining in common cause. Whites "fashioned their own identity by contrasting themselves to blacks," Jones writes, ingraining the concept that skin color is somehow fundamentally different from all the other cosmetic distinctions among persons, then using the biases to prevent blacks from achieving the education and economic power that would disprove racial assumptions.
