The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in talks with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) and the newborn Jana Sena Party to form an alliance in Andhra Pradesh for the upcoming Lok Sabha and state assembly elections.
The Jana Sena Party was formed on March 14 by Telegu actor Pawan Kalyan, who is also actor and Union minister Chiranjeevi's brother.
A potential BJP-TDP-Jana Sena Party alliance will be a heady combination in Andhra Pradesh, where political emotions are running high over the Telangana split. The Congress has been made irrelevant by the Telangana Rashtra Samiti (TRS). The BJP is aware that, on its own, it cannot make a dent either in Telangana or Seemandhra.
But BJP leaders in Telangana are angry with TDP for denigrating the party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi and labeling BJP "communal" but still want an alliance to save their skin in the region. Pawan, who has a huge following in both the regions, will therefore be key to the alliance. With Pawan on its combine, the TDP can swing the youth and Kapu vote bank in Seemandhra and in Telangana. As for the BJP, Pawan's presence will be a buffer and smoothen the impact.
BJP general secretary Prakash Javadekar said the alliance will be finalised within a week. The chief hiccup on the BJP's side appears to be the state BJP president G Kishan Reddy, who is against allying with the TDP. Javadekar has been sent to the state to persuafe Reddy to come around.
Pawan had a long dialogue with TDP chief Chandrababu Naidu on Monday night at an undisclosed location where both discussed ways to fight the Congress. Naidu is learnt to have had a phone conversation with Modi on the advantage of using Pawan against the Congress in both Telangana and Seemandhra; Pawan's slogan for his party is "Congress hatao, desh bachao (remove Congress, save the nation)."
Pawan, whose last film Attarintiki Daredi clocked 100 days and Rs100 crore in earnings, is scheduled to meet BJP leaders and Modi on March 20. In Delhi, he will meet BJP president Rajnath Singh, senior leaders LK Advani and Sushma Swaraj. He will later fly to Ahmedabad to meet Modi.

In Phase One you do not yet have, and may never have, cancer, but predisposing factors—poor diet and digestion, toxins, adrenal exhaustion, and blood sugar imbalances, among others—can progressively and cumulatively increase your likelihood of developing it.

When you try to start the nailgun server (using jruby 1.6.0) it dies with a java.net.UnknownHostException exception if you have JRUBY_OPTS="--1.9" set and are not root:

JRUBY-5923 Can't start a NailGun server when running JRuby in 1.9 mode
Changing JRUBY_OPTS="" works fine too. So the issue seems to be localised to using v1.9 compatibility mode in jruby 1.6.0.
It's probably a bug in processing JRUBY_OPTS along with --ng-server. I suspect that we are passing --1.9 as some sort of address to nailgun.
I suggest sanitizing JRUBY_OPTS before running with --ng-server.
Keep in mind that you can dictate which language mode to run on the client side:
[system] ~ $ jruby --ng -e 'puts RUBY_DESCRIPTION' jruby 1.6.0 (ruby 1.8.7 patchlevel 330) (2011-03-15 f3b6154) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_24) [darwin-x86_64-java] [system] ~ $ jruby --1.9 --ng -e 'puts RUBY_DESCRIPTION' jruby 1.6.0 (ruby 1.9.2 patchlevel 136) (2011-03-15 f3b6154) (Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.6.0_24) [darwin-x86_64-java]
Setting component to launcher, since the bash script (nor the experimental bourne shell compat script) doesn't exhibit this behavior.
The exception is also dependent on network configuration. In some cases, I got (masked IP address):
$ JRUBY_OPTS='--1.9' jruby --ng-server NGServer started on NNN.NNN.NNN.NNN, port 2113. java.net.BindException: Can't assign requested address at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.socketBind(Native Method) at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.bind(PlainSocketImpl.java:383) at java.net.ServerSocket.bind(ServerSocket.java:328) at java.net.ServerSocket.<init>(ServerSocket.java:194) at com.martiansoftware.nailgun.NGServer.run(Unknown Source) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:680) com.martiansoftware.nailgun.builtins.NGAlias: 0/0 com.martiansoftware.nailgun.builtins.NGClasspath: 0/0 com.martiansoftware.nailgun.builtins.NGServerStats: 0/0 com.martiansoftware.nailgun.builtins.NGStop: 0/0 com.martiansoftware.nailgun.builtins.NGVersion: 0/0 NGServer shut down.

I'm seeing this on ubuntu 10.04 with jruby-1.6.1
Essentially this is blocking further moves to use JRuby - I'd need to set this up at the system level via rvm after_use hook.
Hopefully the impotance can be elevated.
Can you elaborate on how you're using the 1.9 mode and nailgun server under RVM?
I have shown a couple of clear workarounds. How do they fall short for you?
Well, I'm not because of this bug
But here is what I wanted to do:
Install RVM
Install Jruby within RVM (RVM builds+installs nailgun)
Now create:
cat <<EOT >~/.rvm/hooks/after_use echo "running: \$rvm_ruby_string" if [[ \$rvm_ruby_string =~ jruby ]]; then # blocking --1.9 --fast on http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5611 # initially had javaopts here. jruby --ng-server 2>&1 | logger -is -p "user.notice" -t "nailgun-\$rvm_ruby_string" fi EOT
Now whenever you start run `rvm use jruby` nailgun is ready for you.
Of course stopping ng is an issue, but more important is being able to pass --1.9 and --fast vis java_opts, both of which prevent nailgun from starting.
The workaorunds fell short because I didn't want to rely on clients doing the right things, rather I wanted to ensure the 1.9 was used - maybe I misunderstand that passing 1.9 to the ng-server enforces?
This issue is duplicated by
I also experience this problem using jruby 1.7.0.dev using Java HotSpot 1.6.0_27-b07 64-bit Server VM (build 20.2-b06, mixed mode).
After trying out a few things, it looks like the problem is not with 1.9 mode per se, but that anything specified in JRUBY_OPTS or on the jruby command line messes up the way in which JRuby builds the command that starts up Nailgun.
As a simple and significant test, I'd recommend specifying "--1.8" and seeing if the same problem will occur (I'm suggesting it will).
In other words, I think the problem is related to specifying options, rather than the specification of any particular option. I believe this is relevant to the following issues:
I'm posting this comment in all three of the above.
- Keith
Oops, I overlooked Hiro Asari's comment on http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-6246, which said that Nailgun could be run in 1.9 mode by using the following:
jruby -Xcompat.version=1.9 --ng-server
I guess there are some options that can be specified safely.
Another comment of his said that the Nailgun's server version does not affect the version in which clients run, so it may not be important to set the version anyway.
- Keith
In general I don't think there should be a reason you'd want to set these properties in the server; they should get passed through from the client. That's the real bug here.
An experiment:
system ~/projects/jruby $ jruby --ng-server & [3] 41993 system ~/projects/jruby $ NGServer started on all interfaces, port 2113. system ~/projects/jruby $ jruby --ng -v jruby 1.7.0.preview2 (1.9.3p203) 2012-09-19 2d497af on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.7.0_07-b10 [darwin-x86_64] system ~/projects/jruby $ jruby --ng --1.8 -v jruby 1.7.0.preview2 (ruby-1.8.7p370) 2012-09-19 2d497af on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM 1.7.0_07-b10 [darwin-x86_64] system ~/projects/jruby $ kill -9 %3 [3]- Killed: 9 jruby --ng-server system ~/projects/jruby $ jruby --ng -v connect to Nailgun server: Connection refused
This seems to indicate that options from the client are passing through to the server just fine. Is this not acceptable?
Charlie -
I now understand that my real error was thinking that specifying --1.9 on the Nailgun server command line would be helpful for me.
However, for the sake of other users, I think it would be helpful to communicate this more clearly; currently they get the unknown host error.
I suggest that when --ng-server is used, the script checks to see if --1.8 or --1.9 is specified, and, if so, fails with a message such as this:
Invalid option: --1.9; Ruby version may not be specified for the Nailgun server.
Instead, specify the version on the client process you want Nailgun to run for you.
Ex: jruby --1.9 --ng my-script.rb
With JRuby 1.6.x, --1.9 is specified to override the default, but in 1.7.x (I presume), --1.8 will be used to override the default of 1.9 when version 1.8 is needed. So this will continue to be an issue, though probably less so.
I would offer a patch myself, but I'm not proficient in shell scripting. I could write something in JRuby, but then I'd be launching an extra JVM to launch the Nailgun server JVM, right? I could write a minimal Java class that checks for this and then passes control to the Nailgun entry point class, but then that new class would need to be the Nailgun server entry point for JRuby – would that be ok, and would you like me to give that a try? If so, would you like to offer any clues as to where to put the class, what to call it, what needs to be changed to call it, where to put tests, which branch/version to fix, etc.?
- Keith
Come to think of it, based on Hiro's message at http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-6246?focusedCommentId=287116&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-287116, it is possible to specify the version, but in a different way:
jruby -Xcompat.version=1.9 --ng-server
So the error message should be something more like this:
Invalid option: --1.9; Setting the Ruby version for the Nailgun server does not determine which version is used for client tasks. Instead, specify the version on the client process you want Nailgun to run for you. For example:
jruby --1.9 --ng my-script.rb
However, if you still want to specify the Ruby version for the Nailgun server, then
you can do so as follows:
jruby -Xcompat.version=1.9 --ng-server
jruby -Xcompat.version=1.8 --ng-server
JRuby has moved bug tracking to Github, accessible via our Github page at https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues, or via http://bugs.jruby.org. In addition, this bug has not been updated in over two years.
We have decided to close down these old JIRA issues.
If your report is still a problem on current JRuby versions (1.7.18 or master/22.214.171.124), please re-file the bug at http://bugs.jruby.org.
You can contact us on the JRuby mailing lists, Freenode IRC channel #jruby, or the @jruby Twitter account if you are unsure how to proceed.

experts adopt a working forward strategy in certain situations (e.g., solving introductory mechanics problems from physics). That strategy may reflect the nature of the particular problem-solving tasks that have been investigated; other problems, from the same or other disciplines, may require different strategies or approaches for successful and/or efficient solution.
Where findings have been replicated in numerous disciplines within and outside the sciences, it is probably safe to presume that those findings generalize to new problem domains or disciplines yet to be investigated. A prime candidate for such a finding is the differential reliance of experts and novices on structural versus superficial features of problems, respectively.
A potential complication of generalizing from cognitive science research relates to the research setting and nature of the problems studied. DBER is typically conducted in classroom settings with discipline-specific problems, whereas much of the cognitive science research—especially early in that field's history—has been conducted in laboratory settings with puzzle problems or brain teasers. However, cognitive science research on problem solving in more ecologically valid settings and in domains such as physics and mathematics has often yielded comparable results to studies of puzzle problems (Bassok and Novick, 2012). What changes from one problem to another in these situations is the specific knowledge students need to bring to bear on their solution attempts, rather than the underlying cognitive processes. This general pattern of consistent results across disparate types of problems lends support to the committee's view that findings from cognitive science research on problem solving may be applicable in undergraduate science and engineering domains in which they have not yet been investigated. After all, humans have a single cognitive system, with specific operating parameters and constraints, that underlies their learning and problem solving regardless of the problem or discipline under investigation (Simon, 1978). At the same time, domain knowledge, which the general processes take as input, is important as well. In the inevitable cases where different patterns of results are found across problems or disciplines, these patterns will point to specific areas of science learning where disciplinary knowledge and perspectives are especially critical.
Overview of Discipline-Based Education
Research on Problem Solving
Problem solving is a significant focus of DBER in physics (see Docktor and Mestre, 2011, for a review), chemistry (for reviews, see Bodner and Herron, 2002; Gabel and Bunce, 1994), and engineering (see Svinicki, 2011, for a review), and an emerging area of study in biology and the geosciences. Because problem solving is not taught frequently enough in astronomy, the committee did not find peer-reviewed astronomy education

As host of ESPN's hugely popular radio show "Mike & Mike in the Morning," Mike Greenberg has interviewed everyone from Michael Jordan to Danica Patrick.
In his debut book, he tackles the subject of fatherhood.
In "Why My Wife Thinks I'm an Idiot," Greenberg talks about his panic when learning he would become a father and everything from the true significance of sports to the worst possible thing to say in a room full of pregnant women.
You can read an excerpt below.
Why My Wife Thinks I'm An Idiot: The Life and Times of a Sportscaster Dad
The First Trimester: Denial
I must confess, the very first thought that went through my mind was that Ricky Ricardo was full of s***. And that devastates me, because I love Ricky Ricardo. The man was wearing clothes in the fifties that would still be hip today, and he made smoking look so cool I started doing it. To my mind, he was the coolest character in the history of television.
What a shame he was so obviously full of s***.
I'll tell you how I know: Remember the episode where Lucy tells Ricky she's pregnant? She does it anonymously, making him figure it out in front of his audience at the Tropicana nightclub. Ricky sings "We're Having a Baby, My Baby and Me," trying to guess which guest is the lucky one. Do you remember how he strolls right past Lucy without the foggiest notion it might be she who is expecting? What are we to make of this? Was it the second Immaculate Conception? Had Ricky never traversed the space between those separated twin beds? Could it really have been that much of a surprise?
Now, this was the fifties, so I'm willing to cut them slack on sexual chemistry. I suppose in the time of Joseph McCarthy, network censors might have been squeamish if Lucy had said, "I should go off the Ortho-Cept this week. Last time it took me three months to get my period."
But did they really need to insult our intelligence?
Now, maybe it was better the way they did it. I certainly didn't need to hear Lucy tell Ricky she was ovulating, or tell Ethel she was three centimeters dilated and twenty percent effaced. I don't regret never seeing Lucille Ball in the stirrups, or bored out of her mind on bed rest because she was carrying too low and they didn't want to use a stitch in her cervix. Perhaps the world was a better place when we were spared all of that on television, but mustn't Ricky have had some inkling that Lucy might be knocked up?
The point of all this is that today, my wife told me we are going to have a baby. Unlike Ricky, I was not shocked by the news. Not after we went off the pill three months ago, visited three obstetricians and a pediatrician, pinpointed the optimal instant of ovulation, became unprecedentedly intimate with a thermometer, had sex when I didn't feel like it (a first), and spent hundreds of dollars on books -- everything from prenatal diet tips to the benefits of communication with the fetus. Like everything else in my life, this transaction was carefully budgeted, programmed by a computer, dissected on a spreadsheet, discussed via e-mail, and scheduled in my BlackBerry long before any rabbit died. My wife didn't need to slip me an anonymous note, and there was no point in feigning surprise. This was a day that was only about the facts.
We're having a baby. My baby and me.

Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd (BSNL) has been providing links to universities with National Knowledge Node (NKN), a site specially meant for education, sponsored by the Ministry of Human Resource Development to ensure that universities access all information in the field of education, said J.V. Raja Reddy, General Manager, BSNL, Thanjavur, here on Tuesday.
Inaugurating a national-level technical seminar at Periyar Maniammai University (PMU), Mr. Raja Reddy said the programme costs Rs. 2 crore and the duration is 10 years. Universities that want access to NKN should pay Rs.45 lakh. The HRD Ministry is providing Rs.1.2 crore and the remaining Rs.35 lakh will be borne by the BSNL. " In Thanjavur, three universities - PMU, SASTRA University and the Central University of Tamil Nadu in Tiruvarur - have applied for it. The BSNL has provided the link to PMU and SASTRA University, while the Central University will get the same soon," Mr. Raja Reddy said.
R.Kandaswamy, Dean, Academic, PMU, said people are now living in an era of electronics. There is a wide range of electronic devices and applications which make our lives easier and enjoyable .
N. Ramachandran, Vice-Chancellor, PMU, appealed to the engineering students to contribute to the development of technology. "You should make this world a better place to live by your constant research," he said.

text: The premiere of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Woman in White, which opens at the West End's Palace Theatre in September 2004 (See News, 12 Dec 2003), could have a very different look than his previous musicals. We hear that director Trevor Nunn has brought designer William Dudley on board the creative team. Dudley broke award-winning ground last year in Nunn's NT staging of Stoppard epic The Coast of Utopia and has since employed similarly impressively high-tech, 3-D projections in two further premieres – the Royal Court's production of Terry Johnson's Hitchcock Blonde, which transferred to the West End, and Out of Joint's production of David Hare's The Permanent Way, which comes to the National in January. How will the technique fare in transporting Wilkie Collins' 17th-century thriller to the stage?

Here in Australia, the happy meal choices are :
cheeseburger, fries, drink
nuggets, fries, drink
toasted cheese/tomato sandwich, box sultana's, juice
pasta shapes (filled with cheese and roast vege's) with a tomato dipping sauce, and a reduced fat milk drink plus a flavoured straw (blech... i don't like these... my daughter would just get the milk)
I haven't let DD have mcdonalds for ages, but I think it's good that there's pasta there as well, now. We have McCafe's, I guess they're in the US too? So we could go to Macca's, I could have a paninni with tomato and fetta, plus an espresso, and DD could have pasta and a juice. And I could have a piece of mud cake afterwards (breastfeeding... I need chocolate for that, right? LOL that's my excuse anyway..!!)
Somehow I can't imagine how the lettuce and tomatoes make it any healthier, yuck! Kinda like how ordering a diet coke w/ a big mac is weight control.
Mama to (DS 7) and (DD 5), wife to DH
The lettuce isn't exactly healthy though. Sure it's a "veggie", but that is just iceberg lettuce with no nutritional value.
We all know that mickey d's is crap, most all chain store food is crap.
But I want everyone to keep in mind one thing.
I was raised by a woman who had extreme food and TV values... no sugar...EVER, no meat,dairy, the closest thing to fast food was tomato soup. and god forbid I ever had kool aid or soda, Popsicles, and for the longest time... i hated chocolate, until i learned that carob and chocolate are not the same.
No TV either.. one hour a week.
When I went to my friend's houses... I BEGGED for the sugary treats, zombied myself in front of their TV.
Then I went away to school... and discovered diet Pepsi, fast food and because I was never taught moderation of these things, I did a huge number on my body.
So in my adult house... we eat well, we do meat, dairy and organic veggies, and food from our garden, the neighbors trees and the like. BUT the kids get to go to Mickey D's, or their favorite Taco bell, they get the occasional soda, they are allowed to make reasonable responsible decisions about food NOW. And I admit we will go months with out eating fast food, and then finals hit and I am bringing home fast food every night for a week. (then we all are begging for real food again)
TV.. during the summer, the TV is rarely on, because there are lots of things to do and be.. during the Oregon rainy winters, we do watch more, IN MODERATION and the children get to make the decisions on whether they want to play card games, or watch TV.
BTW... my mom never learned this lesson.. I have a 15 year old brother (I'm 37) and when he is at my house... his head is in my son's psp, or he's zoned out on the boob tube... and raiding my fridge for goodies... And at 15, he can wipe out both my inside fridge and outside fridge of all things "banned" at mom's.
Well, I have no issues re: McD either way but wanted to share a chuckle...
We have Bearded Dragons (AWESOME little pets) but the breeder made sure that we understood NEVER to feed them iceberg lettuce as it won't give them enough nutritional value. ANd, yeah, sure enough, they adore organic dark leaf lettuce.
But, hey, if you're balancing out your diet w/more than crickets, go for it.
Our children make a study of us in a way no one else ever will. If we don't act according to our values, they will know.~Starhawk New User Agreement! http://www.mothering.com/community/wiki/user-agreement

Madhuri Pawar, 19, had a bitter quarrel with her mother on Saturday when she refused to buy her a new dress. An hour later, Madhuri was found hanging from the ceiling fan of the kitchen in their Andheri (East) home.
It is not uncommon for children to quarrel with their parents when they do not get what they want, so the Pawars never imagined that their daughter would take such a drastic step. According to the police, Madhuri took her own life at around 1 pm on Saturday, while her father Vilas Pawar was sleeping in another room and her mother had left home for some work.
"A few minutes before the incident, Madhuri had an argument with her mother because she
had bought a new dress for her elder sister. According to the mother's statement, she had told Madhuri that she bought the dress for her sister because she was older. To this, Madhuri replied that she was always given her sister's old clothes to wear," said sub-inspector RD Yamgar of MIDC police station.
"After an argument, Madhuri's mother left home for some work and Madhuri hanged herself in a fit of rage," added Yamgar.
The incident came to light when Vilas woke up and found her hanging in the kitchen. He immediately called his wife and their neighbours. They rushed Madhuri to Rajawadi hospital, but she was declared dead before admission.
"During the investigations, Madhuri's family members told the police that she was very short-tempered and always fought with her siblings and parents over small issues," said a police officer.
"A case of accidental death has been registered, but the case is being investigated from all possible angles. We are recording the statements of the victim's neighbour and relatives to find out more," added the officer.
Madhuri's father used to work in private firm but is currently unemployed. Her mother works as a domestic help, said the police.

Zimbabwe opposition leader to be prime minister
JOHANNESBURG Opposition leader Morgan Tsvangirai takes the prime minister's oath Wednesday as part of a power-sharing agreement with longtime President Robert Mugabe that Zimbabweans hope will bring help as they suffer through economic and humanitarian crises.
But quick solutions are unlikely given the enormity of Zimbabwe's problems and the legacy of a long, bloody rivalry between Tsvangirai and Mugabe.
Neighboring leaders who pushed for the coalition say once they join in the unity government, the two men will overcome mutual mistrust and work together for the good of their country amid an economic meltdown and cholera epidemic that has killed 3,400 people. History will judge whether that hope is naive or prescient.
Tsvangirai told reporters Tuesday he did not see himself as joining Mugabe, who remains president under the agreement originally reached in September.
"This is part of a transition arrangement that has been negotiated," Tsvangirai said. "No one is joining anyone."
Mugabe, who turns 85 on Feb. 21 and has been in power since independence from Britain in 1980, has so far treated the 56-year-old Tsvangirai as a junior partner at best, often not bothering to hide his contempt.
But Tsvangirai won the most votes in the first round of the presidential election held almost a year ago, and withdrew from a June runoff only because of attacks on his supporters.
Tsvangirai's party, the Movement for Democratic Change, also broke ZANU-PF's lock on parliament for the first time since independence in those March 2008 elections.
The two men have clashed repeatedly since the decade-old MDC emerged as the most serious threat to the ruling regime since independence.
Tsvangirai has been beaten and jailed by Mugabe's security forces. In 2007, police attacked him after he held an opposition meeting the government had banned. Images shown on news broadcasts around the world of his bruised and bloodied face came to symbolize the challenges his movement faced.
He is to be sworn in as prime minister on Wednesday sometime after 11 a.m. (0900 GMT, 4 a.m. EST) and the rest of the Cabinet is scheduled to be sworn in on Friday.
The coalition agreement calls for the government to make its priority reviving an economy the opposition accuses Mugabe of destroying through corruption and mismanagement. The world's highest inflation rate has left millions of Zimbabweans dependent on international food aid to survive.
Even if the factions can put aside their own differences, they can't do much without foreign help. The world's main donor, the United States, has made clear the money won't flow if Mugabe tries to sideline Tsvangirai.
Tsvangirai announced Tuesday that one of his most senior aides, Tendai Biti, would head the finance ministry. The move comes only days after a judge shut down a treason trial for Biti, who had faced a possible death sentence.
Tsvangirai's party also holds the health ministry, another key post given the country's cholera epidemic. The rapid and unusually deadly spread of the usually easy to contain disease has been blamed on the collapse of Zimbabwe's health and sanitation infrastructures because of lack of funds for maintenance.

`Witnesses identified suspects in prison and court'
MADURAI: Imam Ali ordered one of the gangsters, who rescued him from police custody, to open fire on escort personnel at Tirumangalam police station in Madurai district on March 7, 2002. The prosecution disclosed this when the Imam Ali escape case came up for arguments before the third fast track court judge, G. Savithri, here on Wednesday.
Explaining the rescue operation, the Assistant Public Prosecutor, K.S. Murali, said a gang of nine suspects came in a Tata Sumo vehicle with arms and explosives to the Tirumangalam police station to free Imam Ali and Hyder Ali from police custody. Soon after reaching the police station, Shahjahan alias Dhokka hurled explosives on police vehicles, while others fired indiscriminately at police personnel.
In the melee that followed, Imam Ali snatched a loaded AK-47 assault rifle from police constable Ganesan, and ran towards the Tata Sumo vehicle. When an escort policeman, Kesavan, tried to intercept, Imam Ali ordered Seniappa to open fire. The constable suffered grievous injuries and was rushed to the Government Rajaji Hospital.
As the escapees sped towards Vazhathoppu area, the then Silaiman Inspector, Nadankan, chased them in his jeep. There was an exchange of fire in which the jeep was damaged. A little later, they abandoned their vehicle and escaped in auto-rickshaws. Police seized arms and explosive substances from the vehicle.
Mr. Murali said prosecution witnesses identified the suspects both in the court and the Madurai central prison. All the 41 accused were present during the arguments that took place amidst tight police security.
Imam Ali and Seeniappa were among five persons gunned down by the police in an encounter at Bangalore on September 29, 2002.

London area of King's Cross guide
What to do and where to stay in London's King's Cross neighbourhood
Named after a vast monument dedicated to King George IV in 1835, which used to stand where the station is today, King's Cross cropped up on the site of a village previously known as Battle Bridge. This village was located by an ancient crossing of the River Fleet and was rumoured to be the setting for a major battle between the Romans and Queen Boudicca's Iceni tribe. King's Cross was one of London's poorest districts in the 19th century and was the playground of Dickens' Oliver Twist. Post World War II, the area declined further, with many industrial buildings left to go derelict. A big redevelopment push, however, has transformed the make-up of King's Cross, which is now home to all manner of cultural institutions, including The British Library, King's Place, The Wellcome Collection, The Foundling Museum, London Canal Museum, Gagosian Art Gallery, the offices of The Guardian and The Observer newspapers, and The Place, London's specialist venue for contemporary dance. The seemingly out-of-place Camley Street Natural Park is a two-acre wildlife reserve a stone's throw from the area's redevelopment on the banks of the Regent's Canal, while the Greek-style St Pancras Parish Church is London's most expensive church after St Paul's Cathedral. King's Cross is dominated by the imposing (and newly restored) Grade I listed St Pancras railway station, arguably one of the finest stations in the world and now, with the Eurostar service, a gateway to Europe. The famous Platform Nine and Three-Quarters from the Harry Potter films is located in the main train terminal, providing quick access to Hogwarts (provided you can walk through the brick wall).

BLENDING natural colours is what makes emerging designers Randeep Narayan and Rachna Kumar's design stand out.
With their Rachran label and 10 designs showcased at last night's Fiji Fashion Week show, the two designers were inspired and motivated to continue with their dream of creating more elegant design pieces.
Mr Narayan said being from the West and being part of the fashion show was an accomplishment on its own and to be able to feature as an emerging designer for the first time was a dream come true for the duo.
"We're excited to showcase our 10 designs at the show and we hope people will enjoy what they see especially since we put in a lot of effort and time to come up with the elegant designs," Mr Narayan said.
"One of the challenges we faced in creating the designs was on fitting and creating casual wear that is fashionable."

Model Number: T5E231
The full size Timex Ironman Sleek 100-Lap Watch is loaded with features tailored for the endurance runner. The large display, 100-hour chronograph, 100-lap memory and 9 interval timers all cater to those who go-the-distance.
Comments: I agree with the other reviewer. The ideal running watch. Because of the large face, all watch functions are easily readable. The "flick" feature, which I initially thought was a gimmick, is actually quite useful as it allows turning on the light with a flick of the wrist and without having to use the other hand. That means no disruption of your running rhythm when you want to check the time at night. I like the interval timer a lot. It's not fancy, but for my purposes - I run 17 min and walk 3 - it's enough. Each interval is announced with a series of clear beeps. The watch tells you at all times which interval you're in and how many overall interval cycles you've gone through. And unlike the Galloway run/walk counters, its waterproof.
From: Uli, Elmhurst, IL, USA. September 8th 2014
Comments: For me, this remains the best running watch. Simple to use and Timex reliability. I liked the looks of my past, sleek version better and this model's band holder is a bit loose. Other brands (such as Soleus) are also misleading about the number of interval timers. This watch only has ONE interval timer. The interval timer has nine segments, but there are not nine, independent interval timers (unfortunately).

Bo Jackson vs Roger Federer comparison on ESPN

Bo Jackson was an extremely gifted and talented athlete who excelled in two very difficult sports, football and baseball. He could have also been a track star. Yet, the skills that are required for for football, baseball, track, and tennis are very different, but do have some things in common. They are all very difficult sports. Yet, to expect to have some sort of agreement when comparing such different sports and when considering something as nebulous as "greatness". Just what exactly does one mean by that? Roger Federer is a much more accomplished athlete than Bo Jackson, but Bo Jackson exhibited great athleticism in two difficult sports. He was a phenomenon, but so are athletes like Federer, Nadal, Djokovic, Borg, Lendl, Sampras, Laver, etc.
Tennis is quite unique in that it is an individual sport, played outdoors, played year round, while being very international. It's extremely competitive at most every level in all the tennis playing nations. It requires great footspeed, quickness, as well as top speed, agility and stamina, eye hand coordination, and tremendous skill. You can't take short cuts with tennis. There is no place to hide weaknesses, and even great players must lose often and then constantly retain confidence and win difficult matches soon thereafter. There is no way to avoid endless hours of skill refinement on top of all the purely athletic requirements of tennis. Tennis is one tough sport. In my opinion, it's the greatest sport there is.
Bjorn Borg defied analysis. No one could manufacture a man that won 6 French Open and 5 straight Wimbledon titles. - Andrew Longmore

Let's See Some Christmas Lights
I know a lot of you have spent the last week putting up some nice Christmas lights. So, lets see them!
Run out and take a quick shot and post it here.
Can't wait to see them :thumbsup:
Bah humbug. :laughing:
Sorry, I couldn't resist. I haven't even got the x-mas tree put up yet, let alone the lights.
3 Attachment(s)
While standing out in the cold last Sunday listening to the girl scouts sing I took these:
I'd take a pic but all we really did this year was to put rope lights around the entire house under the eves so it looks like under counter lighting. So you can easily envision it...
It is a nice effect so the top of the walls are lit up but you do not see the actual lighting. A lighting effect that can be used year round...

When it comes to the relationship between legal and compliance, I reminisce to my days refereeing fights between my children (before they hit the ripe old age of the 20s) . I hate to refer to the days of Rodney King asking the US public – "why can't we just get along?"
There is a lot of truth in both of my references but it is time for CCOs and GCs to lay down the gloves and work together for the common good. In some ways, they are fighting over a very small piece of the pie; instead they should join forces and promote greater corporate influence. After all, they are arguing for much the same thing – senior leadership commitment to legal and ethical compliance. They both need each other and the sooner they realize that the better.
Unfortunately, and I hate to castigate my legal brethren, the legal profession continues to express its insecurity and fear of CCOs and their rise in the corporate governance organization. For some reason, the legal community sees CCOs as a threat. I hate to remind the legal community but this is not a zero-sum game – one does not win at the expense of the other.
Sometimes I fear lawyers suffer from paranoia. They see grander schemes and conspiracies among compliance professionals and senior management than actually exist. In reality, the elevation of a CCO inescapably leads to the rise of the legal players in a company – one cannot operate without the other.
Frankly, I would urge a general counsel to meet with a CCO and map out a plan for raising the awareness and role of ethics and compliance in a company. They should work together to map out a protocol for dividing responsibilities and assignments between the two to reinforce each other as important corporate players.
As I often analogize, lawyers define the legal boundaries for corporate conduct – what is legal and what is illegal. CCOs have a different function – they adopt and implement processes, controls, communication and training to ensure that corporate actors stay within the boundaries defined by the lawyers. That is not hard to understand. It is a clear demarcation of responsibilities.
If this overarching agreement is reached, paranoia is brushed aside, then a CCO and lawyers should be able to define a protocol based this common principle. CCOs are not lawyers and do not define what is legal or illegal. They take the advice of lawyers and build compliance controls and protocols around legal principles to ensure compliance.
For example, however a legal officer defines a legal issue, e.g. relating to gifts and thresholds for review, a CCO's job is not to redefine the principles and policies defined by the lawyers but to adopt policies and procedures needed to enforce these legal policies and monitor corporate actions to make sure that such legal limits are followed.
In the end, the difference between a lawyer and a compliance officer is very distinct but their purpose is shared and their mission is common. So why does it appear that they cannot work together or that they fear each other?
It is time to lay down the arms and begin the work that needs to be completed – a common purpose of ensuring corporate compliance and adherence to the rule of law. Let's get started on this and let bygones be bygones – it is time to join together for the greater good.

James Kilburg was first inspired to make the Geochron in 1962 after while being overseas he was awoken by his wife who called him at two in the morning not realizing the true time difference. After that incident James decided he needed to create the world's first accurate time machine. In 1963 the first Geochron was born. For years James was making the Geochron only when ever people called him and requested one to be built. Then in 1984 James Kilburg Jr. bought the company from his father and moved the companies headquarters to Redwood City, CA. Since then the company has grown and become international but little has changed about the actual Geochron, which is still the same as it was when first built.

Kanye West Cameos, 2011-'13
The last time we checked in with Kanye West, he was as active as any other platinum-selling rap superstar. Between the release of 2010's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy and his Jay-Z collaboration Watch the Throne, he made dozens of cameos, from big pop anthems like Katy Perry's "E.T." to deep cuts like T.I.'s "Welcome to the World." But in the 20 months since Watch the Throne was released, he has only featured on a total of six tracks. When compared to such overachievers as Lil Wayne and Rick Ross, Kanye's relative silence was nearly Eminem-like.
This paucity of recent cameos is unusual in a genre where top earners are usually ubiquitous. But it's not like Kanye hasn't been busy, and we're not talking just about his sundry tabloid adventures with girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Last August, he assembled a Cruel Summer compilation spotlighting his G.O.O.D. Music roster, and hits like "Mercy" and "Clique." This year, he brings Yeezus, and judging by tracks like "New Slaves" and "Black Skinhead," he's reconsidering his role as luxury rap's chief spokesperson. Then again, it's not easy to anticipate the next move by hip-hop's greatest provocateur.
Here, we replay his recent output, pre-Yeezus, from his hilarious "hubby wants a ménage à trois" lyric on 2 Chainz's "Birthday Song" to standout singles from Watch the Throne and Cruel Summer, like "N#gg#s In Paris" and "New God Flow."

KOLKATA: "I'm not an enemy of the party, that I can assure you…If my expulsion has helped the party to become stronger, I'd be happy; though I'm saddest that I wanted to die as an ordinary member of the CPI(M) and that will not happen," Lok Sabha Speaker Somnath Chatterjee told The Hindu here on Wednesday.
"I came all the way from Delhi only to vote for the party," Mr. Chatterjee, who voted in the Kolkata Dakshin constituency earlier on Wednesday, said. He said he had declined "a plum offer." He chose not to elaborate on what that was.
Though "apprehensive" that the number of seats the Left parties win could be fewer this time, Mr. Chatterjee, who was expelled from the party in July 2008, said, "It will continue to remain important in the national scenario."
"But I've a few doubts on how the party is proceeding…I could never imagine that the Left parties will be so keen to form an alliance with leaders like Jayalalithaa or Mayawati who do not even have the pretension of being progressive or Left," Mr. Chatterjee said. He wondered "on what basis" such an alliance was being considered, one "without any programmatic understanding and with only a negative aspect."
"Today, you're making the Left irrelevant in India," Mr. Chatterjee argued. "I hope it remains relevant."
The Left is "now fighting a defensive battle, not an offensive one," Mr. Chatterjee observed. "Today, it's a mess in Kerala, in West Bengal too. I wish sincerely that the party had become stronger with my expulsion," he added.
"In almost 10 months [since his expulsion] I've not spoken a word against the party and have accepted its decision without any questions. I never wanted to embarrass the party," he said.
"I must have made a mistake obviously so far as the party is concerned, and I feel extremely sad," Mr. Chatterjee said, referring to his expulsion. "But I've not been informed of the real reasons…"
"I've been characterised as a betrayer. I did not want any certificate from the party but if somebody takes away my pride — my only possession — I feel very upset, very sad… I became a member of the party in early 1973 and my membership had been the proudest possession of my life," he added.
On whether he would respond to any move that the CPI(M) leadership might make to re-induct him into it, Mr. Chatterjee said: "I will not respond. There should be a proper change of heart, not just an expression. I am not an enemy of the party, that I can assure you."

Dish Network makes $5.15B bid for Clearwire
Tuesday - 1/8/2013, 6:31pm EST
NEW YORK (AP) - Satellite TV provider Dish Network is offering to buy wireless network operator Clearwire _ which agreed to sell itself to Sprint in December _ for $3.30 per share, or $5.15 billion.
Clearwire Corp. said it will discuss the unsolicited offer with Dish. However Sprint, which owns 51 percent of Clearwire, said it would have to sign off on Dish's offer and that it does not intend to do so.
Under the proposed deal, Dish Network Corp. would buy about 24 percent of Clearwire's spectrum assets for $2.2 billion, and Clearwire would build and manage a wireless network for Dish. Dish would also provide up to $800 million in additional financing to the struggling Clearwire.
In December Sprint Nextel Corp. offered to buy the remaining 49 percent of the Bellevue, Wash., company for $2.90 per share. It later raised the offer to $2.97 per share, or $2.2 billion. Sprint is third-largest U.S. cellphone company and it depends on Clearwire to provide high speed Sprint 4G data services on some of its phones. Some of Clearwire's shareholders oppose the sale, saying Clearwire could get a better price.
Dish Network, which is based in Englewood, Colo., confirmed it made the offer and said it is looking forward to discussions with Clearwire. Sprint said its offer is superior because the Dish bid includes a variety of connected commercial agreements and debt and equity purchases in addition to the spectrum sale. The Overland Park, Kan., company added that it would have to voluntarily waive its rights as a Clearwire shareholder and said it has contracts with Clearwire that predate its purchase of part of the company.
Shares of Clearwire rose 2 cents to $2.92 Tuesday and climbed 27 cents, or 9.3 percent, to $3.19 in after-hours trading. Sprint shares gained a penny to $5.97 during the day and lost 14 cents, or 2.4 percent, to $5.83 aftermarket. Dish Network shares were unchanged in late trading after closing at $35.97, down 37 cents.
Both Sprint and Nextel have been struggling financially, but Sprint recently agreed to sell 70 percent of itself to Softbank Corp. in a deal worth about $20 billion. Clearwire shares jumped on that news as investors concluded that Sprint would offer to buy Clearwire. Shares of Clearwire were trading at $1.30 at the time.
Clearwire's main asset is vast swaths of wireless spectrum, or space on the airwaves, that could be used to provide high data download speeds. Those are a crucial competitive factor in today's wireless industry. However, Clearwire's frequencies are difficult to use: they require many cell towers to cover an area, and the signals don't penetrate well into buildings.

Suspected Arsonists Caught Running From Blaze | Crime
Three people were arrested in Beverly on Thursday morning after firefighters spotted them running away from the scene of two building fires. Two of the suspects are minors.
Firefighters were battling a blaze at a property behind Outpost Grocery when they saw a second nearby building was also on fire and spotted the trio fleeing from the site. The group was followed to home in the area where investigators with the Grant County Sheriff's Office questioned them.
Jeremy Ocampo, 21, was arrested along with a 16-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girls. Each faces charges of second degree arson.
"Fire District 10, the Fire Marshal's Office and Deputies all teamed up on this call, " said Sheriff Tom Jones. "In this case, cooperation and attentiveness by responders and investigator helped capture the suspects."
The first building, which had sustained damage in a previous fire, was destroyed. The second was damaged, but the value of the damage has yet to be determined. Both buildings were made of cinder blocks and were unoccupied.
In the state of Washington, second degree arson is a class B felony.

Re: Job loss and USDA loan?
Hi again page41989!
Sit tight and do not stress too much over it. At least you were very lucky enough to land another right away!! That is a blessing in disguise!
Wait until your LO contacts you back. They may be trying to so what they can do, but I doubt you would have issues since this was something beyond your control. My husband is dying to find another job, but we were told to sit tight becuase if he quits after landing a new job, they may put off our closing until he is done with his probation period (which usually is 90 days).
So maybe you will NOT lose the home, but possibly may have to wait it out until you pass your probation period. We are also going for a USDA loan so I think this is a USDA requirement, not sure though as we never asked.

Vikings punter Chris Kluwe and former Vikings tight end Visanthe Shiancoe took to Twitter to rip former New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams for the latest report over his tactics.
In an audio recording released Thursday, April 5, Williams tells his players in a meeting before a January playoff game to target a number of San Francisco 49ers, including wide receivers Kyle Williams (to "put a lick" on the player who had concussion problems) and Michael Crabtree (to "take out that outside ACL" ) and running back Frank Gore ("We need to decide on how many times we can beat Frank Gore's head.")
Williams also wants his players to earn respect through fear, according to the recording, which was made for a documentary that was posted on the filmmaker's website.
"The way you earn respect is through fear," Kluwe posted on his account, @chriswarcraft, later that day. "Are you (expletive) kidding me? What kind of neanderthal message does that send."
Shiancoe, a free agent who played with Kluwe and the Vikings in the 2010 NFC championship game loss to New Orleans, replied on his Twitter account (@VShiancoe).
Shiancoe: "@ChrisWarcraft what do u expect from a neanderthal?"
Kluwe: "@VShiancoe Man, I know we've seen some crazy (expletive) speeches, but that's just unbelievable. What a jerk."
Shiancoe: "@ChrisWarcraft we could have a ring right now."
Kluwe: "@VShiancoe Heh no use looking back, gotta keep pushing forward. Can't change the past.
The Saints targeted Vikings quarterback Brett Favre for a bounty in that conference title game, according to the NFL. Commissioner Roger Goodell recently punished the Saints for their bounty program, which offered money to injure opposing players over a number of years. Gregg Williams, now with the St. Louis Rams, was suspended indefinitely, and head coach Sean Payton was suspended for a season, among other penalties.
Hours after Kluwe and Shiancoe had their Twitter exchange, Kluwe went back on Twitter to offer more on the Williams recording:
"I see a lot of people asking about the context of the Gregg Williams audio clip as it relates to how other teams talk. I will enlighten! 90% of what he said was standard rah rah motivational stuff. Hit guys hard, get him going sideways, etc.; all fine and heard before. The part that is an issue is the other 10%, where he specifically talks about targeting ACL's, twisting guys' ankles in the pile, and trying to hit a concussion victim in the head again. That's why Goodell has to come down so hard on this; you don't want that spreading."
