US serial killer Richard Ramirez dies
More News from Associated Press
LOS ANGELES— California corrections officials say convicted serial killer Richard Ramirez, known as the Night Stalker, has died in prison.
San Quentin State Prison spokesman Lt. Sam Robinson says Ramirez died Friday morning.
Ramirez was convicted of 13 murders that terrorized Southern California in 1984 and '85, and sentenced to death.
Satanic symbols were left at murder scenes and some victims were forced to "swear to Satan" by the killer, who entered homes through unlocked windows and doors.
Ramirez was captured and beaten in 1985 by residents of an East Los Angeles neighborhood while attempting a carjacking.

Councillors complain to Mayor about Assistant Engineers
The Madurai Corporation Councillors were disappointed as senior officials came unprepared for the Council meeting held on Friday. Most of the top-ranking officials of the civic body could not reply to queries raised by the members on various issues such as drinking water problem, drainage, bore wells and schools.
For most of the questions raised by the Councillors, their common reply was that the "work is at the tender stage", implying that tenders will be called for.
In a few instances, Mayor V.V.Rajan Chellappa and Commissioner R.Nanthagopal felt embarrassed as the officials fumbled for a reply. Several senior officials did not even know how to switch on the hand mike, and when they took a long time for that, the Mayor had to tell them how to use a mike. When the Councillors said in chorus that they were not getting satisfactory answers, the Commissioner intervened and directed the officials concerned to visit the places and take immediate action on the complaints.
"If you have answers ready, then tell them here or go to the spots mentioned by the members and complete the works," Mr.Rajan Chellappa said.
Many Councillors have complained that Assistant Engineers (AE) could not be traced in many wards as they were not visiting their designated localities at all.
Two AIADMK Councillors — Raja S.Sreenivasan (Ward 93) and M.Kumutha (Ward 79) — said it would be difficult to face the people when the AEs did not perform their official duties.
Kamatchi Muthukumar of Ward 55 urged the Mayor and the Commissioner to ask the engineers and senior officials to visit each ward to assess the local requirements.
At one stage, the Corporation Commissioner was perturbed to know that officials had not installed an electric inverter at a Councillor's office.
"Works in Zone-2 are not being done properly. I told you to do so but why the delay?" he asked the officials.
M.Kesavapandiammal, Councillor for Ward 1, asked the Mayor to announce a few Corporation initiatives for her area, which has no school or dispensary run by the civic body.

Baldwin passed away on May 24, 2014, after almost 3 years in Red Paw's care
After three years of responding, and close to 700 calls involving hundreds and hundreds of animals, you start to lose track of who's who. But not with Baldwin's response. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was September 9, 2011. We had only been in existence for two months. The phone rang at 5:00 in the morning, for a fire in Southwest Philly where a cat had been displaced. I threw on my Fire Department uniform just in case the response took a while so that I would already be dressed for work. I grabbed a jacket to throw over my uniform and off I went. I could drive you to his old house right now I remember it so clearly […]

Comfortable room with a nice view of the River.
Clean casino, kid friendly with arcades, good selection of restaurants and shops, and also areana for sporting events/concerts.
Nothing else around the casino, so you have to stay in there.
The charm of a 1700s home and the grounds.
Too far from our targeted visit area (my fault).
ambience hospitality comfort restaurants
parking and hotel elevators to far and far from hotel lobby
The Casino was wonderful, what one isn't!
Hotel is beautiful
Our room could have been a little cleaner and larger for the price.
I loved how quick and easy check in was! The staff was very welcoming and answered all of my questions. The rooms were nice and clean, had the perfect size television. The bed was extremely comfortable. Delicious hot breakfast was included until 10am. Check out was 11 so after breakfast we still had plenty of time to check out on time. It was just an all around great stay!
Because of all of the snow parking was limited. We had to circle around for a couple of minutes before finally parking in the last parking spot. But again snow is not something the staff can control.
I needed to move the reservation 1 day due to severe weather but Priceline and Hampton Inn were unable to accommodate.
Mariah checked us in and I was blown away by the customer service she provided. She had an extra room available so she upgraded us, provided us with a few toiletries that we forgot instead if having to buy them in the store, and gave us free Buffett breakfast vouchers. She called the restaurant personally to book our dinner reservation (which we could have done ourselves but it was amazing how she just jumped in with "I'll call for you no problem") every time we passed the counter she greeted us by name and the most impressive part was when she called our room around 6 to see if we needed anything else before she headed out for the evening. I was just floored by her service and how genuine she was. I will recommend this hotel to everyone I know and will for sure be back again.
Good breakfast, friendly staff, convenient location to casinos and RI beaches
We had two couples, two rooms, for a weekend casino trip. This was SO much more interesting and less expensive than staying down the street on-site. Each room had a comfortable 4-post bed, clean bathroom, TV and automatic temperature controlled fireplace. Being a 260+ year-old home, it's rustic open beams and wood floors gave a "step back in time" feel. Hosts Ted and Carol made us feel right at home, and breakfast of baked apple, pancakes, sausage, eggs, coffee/juice was delightful. They also have refreshments available 24/7. This was our first trip, but the four of us already decided we'll definitely become regulars.
No complaints. My only regret is that we didn't notice the diary in every room where the past visitors recorded their paranormal experience. We heard stories at breakfast, where another couple filled us in and showed pictures they'd taken that captured floating orbs. Not that it made any difference to our wonderful time, but evidently the Inn is haunted, so keep that in mind if that sort of thing bothers you.
Ted & Caroll were just delighful. Would go back again. Evergthing was just perfect.
nothing to dislike
We got to check in at 11 am. Close to foxwoods, free shuttle
Website said free continental breakfast but it was not true.
Close to Foxwoods
Worn down room.
Room was amazing
Larger size of room
Check in sparse--no real counter. Bathroom not as clean. Toenail clipping on floor, back of toilet with stains.
A mile from Foxwoods! Breakfast served until 11:40. Bar in hotel. Very large room and bathroom. Toiletries like makeup remover wipes in the bathroom ! Dunkin donuts across the street.
Small TV. We may have gotten a handicap room but we enjoyed the space.
Hot tube was nice but wish the pool was open
The pool was closed
Room was better than expected for money we paid. Room was very clean and queen beds were comfortable.
The staff/service is terrible. We booked the shuttle to a casino for 930pm but when we arrived 5 minutes early they left us while claiming the people from our room had already boarded the shuttle. They had no way of verifying and making sure the right people boarded. My girlfriend had to wait in -2 degree weather for th next shuttle. Also there's breakfast until 11am amd we arrived at 1055 to get something quick to eat for the ride back and they said it had already closed. Why say it's opened until 11am but close earlier than the advertised time. Entire staff and manager seemed unorganized and unprofessional.
The casino shuttle and waffle maker in the morning make this place! Less then half what you pay to stay at foxwoods. I'd definitely go back.
Nothing I can think of.
Great value! Reception desk staff greeted me as I was still approaching the desk. Professional hospitality, great facility, in great condition, in a fantastic location. Would definitely return.
The size if the room was perfect. The bed was very comfy. It was a short distance to both Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun. The Mystic Aquarium was with in walking distance as was the Old Mystic Plaza. All in all it was a great stay and I would recommend it to a friend.
We did not like that there wasn't a shuttle, car service or limo service to the Casino Resorts. For the price this feature should be included as well as a free Continental Breakfast.
Further than I thought from Foxwoods
Clean and comfort

Some senators want dramatic shift in bullet train plan
Still others say the project's revenue forecasts are unrealistically upbeat and mask the reality that the bullet train will need heavy annual subsidies.
Meanwhile, the project faces lawsuits from opponents who claim construction would wreck residential neighborhoods on the San Francisco Peninsula and prime farmland in the Central Valley.
After installing a new management team at the state High-Speed Rail Authority and whacking its budget, the governor embraced the project.
The state Assembly is expected to approve Brown's plan. But in the Senate a group of Democrats who had become uneasy with the project's costs and priorities began searching for an alternative plan, according to interviews.
In addition to DeSaulnier, they include Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, long a critic of the project's finances, and Joe Simitian, D-Palo Alto, who has opposed the project on environmental grounds.
Also interested in the alternative is state Sen. Leland Yee, D-San Francisco. According to a spokesman, Yee supports high-speed rail but thinks it unwise to begin construction in the Central Valley.
A big advantage of Plan B is that it's "shovel ready," said Nadia Naik, co-founder of Californians Advocating Responsible Rail Design, a group that opposes the present project.
The San Francisco tunnel project already has its environmental permits, according to a spokesman for the transbay center. The Los Angeles Union Station project underwent federal environmental review years ago, said Paul Dyson, president of the Rail Passenger Association of California and Nevada.
By contrast, the bullet train's permits are tied up in litigation.
"They're having problems getting anything through the environmental process," said Richard Tolmach, president of the California Rail Foundation and a project critic. "There are five lawsuits now and more coming."

BEAVERTON -- A man was arrested Wednesday morning after a bus driver reported a man walking naked in front of Five Oaks Middle School.
There were children on the bus as the report was made, according to Beaverton police.
The school, on 1600 NW 173rd, was put into lockout to prevent anyone from entering the building, police said.
Washington County sheriff's deputies spotted the man on 173rd and Fieldstone. He was wearing only socks, shoes and a backpack. He told deputies he had been visiting a friend, was walking around and saw no issue with being naked.
Russell David Persons, 23, of Beaverton, was accused of disorderly conduct for causing the school lockout. He was taken to the Washington County jail.

Indians lose 5th straight, 6-4 to Angels
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) — As if the Cleveland Indians haven't had enough problems on this West Coast trip, All-Star second baseman Jason Kipnis strained an abdominal muscle Tuesday night and left the game after grounding into a double play in his second at-bat.
The rest of the game didn't go much better for the Indians, who lost their fifth in a row.
Corey Kluber was charged with four runs in 4 2-3 innings and Joe Smith got his second save against his former teammates in two nights to secure a 6-4 victory for Jered Weaver and the Los Angeles Angels.
Kipnis, a first-time All-Star last season, is batting .234 with three home runs and 12 RBIs in 26 games. He had 17 homers and 84 RBIs in 2013 — both career highs — in becoming the first Indians second baseman to lead the team in RBIs since Joe Gordon in 1948.
"Jason's obviously a huge part of what we do, so keep our fingers crossed," manager Terry Francona said. "I think the training staff is hopeful that it's more of a cramping-type thing. When he shows up tomorrow and doesn't have the adrenaline of a game going, and he's gotten a chance to sleep on it, we'll know a lot more. If it doesn't feel worse, that'll be a really good sign."
Kluber (2-3) gave up four hits with five strikeouts and four walks. One of the runs he allowed was unearned, the result of shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera's fielding error on Chris Iannetta's leadoff grounder in the fourth.
"Man, he had to work so hard," Francona said of Kluber. "You could tell early on they knew he was going to work ahead in the count, so they were really hacking. I think their leadoff hitters got on in every inning against him, and he wiggled out of the majority of it by making some really good pitches. They were all stressful innings. When I'm keeping track of the pitch count, I always put an asterisk when guys work hard. And it was pretty much every inning."
The right-hander escaped a bases-loaded jam in the fourth, retiring Albert Pujols on a popup after an intentional walk to Mike Trout and then striking out Raul Ibanez with the Indians trailing 2-0.
"He had good stuff. He kept the ball down and he has a couple of good weapons to put you away," Pujols said. "He made a good pitch on me, and he didn't show that pitch until that at-bat with the bases loaded. He got in a couple of jams, and we got a huge hit from Howie (Kendrick) to knock him out of the game."
Kendrick, in the leadoff spot for the first time this season, extended the Angels' lead to 4-0 in the fifth with a two-run single.
Iannetta had a pair of RBI singles in support of Weaver (2-2), who allowed two runs and eight hits in 5 1-3 innings and tied a season high with six strikeouts. The right-hander threw 90 pitches and was lifted after giving up four consecutive hits, including a two-run homer by Carlos Santana.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla A top Republican state senator and current chairman of Gov. Rick Scott's re-election campaign is now the lone candidate to become Florida State University president.
In a highly unusual move, an FSU search committee on Wednesday narrowly voted to interview John Thrasher for the job. Thrasher, R-St. Augustine, is a former House speaker and FSU alumnus who helped his alma mater get a medical school.
The 15-9 vote came after search committee members heard from a consulting firm that FSU was having trouble attracting candidates because of the perception that Thrasher was going to get the job due to ongoing media reports.
Students and faculty members on the committee protested the decision.
Former FSU President Eric Barron stepped down earlier this year to become president of Penn State University.

MARVEL MAYHEM: Astonishing X-Men #1
MARVEL MAYHEM: Astonishing X-Men #2
MARVEL MAYHEM: Astonishing X-Men #3
The X-Men were just preparing themselves for the battle ahead against Kruun once more, who proved to be quite an adversary for the team. Also, the X-Men were recovering from the sudden arrest of their leader, Cyclops as a young yet brash woman named Dallas arrested Cyclops for causing mayhem in New York City (despite the fact that the X-Men were trying to defeat Kruun during that time).However, once the misunderstanding was settled and Cyclops was released from jail, the X-Men were back inside the Blackbird, scanning the area for any sign of Kruun.
"Well Slim, were they playing gentle with ya?" Wolverine said sarcastically.
"Ha, ha, very funny, ferret," said Cyclops causing Wolverine to growl softly. "Have you found the location on Kruun?"
"Not yet, I'm afraid," said Beast as he looked at the Blackbird's computer system to check the coordinates for Kruun's location."However, based on the calculations of the wind speed and the point of impact in the outer boundaries of New York, Kruun seemed to have been thrown eighty miles away from this city."
"Great, now we lost Kruun's track thanks to that crazy woman," sighed Cyclops.
He then turned towards the team and said, "Alright team, here's what we are going to do: Logan, see if you can track down Kruun's scent around the city. Hank, try to set up a tracking radar to hone in on Kruun's location. Ororo, fly around the boundaries of the city to see where Kruun has landed at. Peter, check out any buildings beyond the boundaries to see if Kruun is hiding among them."
"This is a clever strategy, Scott.But, what will you do?" asked Storm.
Cyclops just smiled and said, "Well, somebody's got to fly this ship."
The X-Men then split up into different directions, determined to find Kruun at all costs.
Meanwhile, in space…
A large battle cruiser was flying slowly through space, seeking out any kind of activity that could disrupt the peace and serenity of its alien inhabitants.This battle cruiser belongs to none other than the Shi'ar Empire, an elite alien race that had helped the X-Men many times over in the past.Just as it seemed that no activity was taking place, the alarms started going off as it sensed a strange object floating towards Earth.
"Captain!The sensors are picking up a foreign object floating towards the planet Earth!" one of the Imperial officers reported to the Captain of the ship.
"Then we must take this object back to the Shi'ar Empire immediately!Who knows where this object came from and what it is capable of doing.This is a matter that the Empress Lilandra must be notified about. Communications – establish insta-link with the Imperial Center at once!"
While the captain was busy contacting Lilandra, the battle cruiser then emitted two large metallic tentacles that started wrapping up the object and slowly pulling it towards the cruiser and away from the Earth.Then, the battle cruiser zoomed off towards the Shi'ar Empire, determined to show this strange discovery to their Empress.
Later on…
Lilandra, who is now the Empress of the Shi'ar Empire, was sitting in her bedchamber, dressing up for her royal duties, when she suddenly received a message from her lord chamberlain.
"Your Majesty!The Imperial officers have finally arrived back from their patrol and they have retrieved a large bullet shaped object that was floating near the Earth's atmosphere!"
Lilandra looked shocked for a moment and then said, "A bullet shaped object?This is worth investigating into.Chamberlain, summon the guards to keep an eye on that bullet for we do not know what it might do to the citizens of this Empire.I will be arriving to the space port shortly." Lilandra then finished dressing herself and ran towards the space port where the battle cruiser had just landed, with the bullet in tow.
The Imperial Guards then crowded around the bullet, with their weapons at ready.Lilandra and the Lord Chamberlain then approached the bullet cautiously, surveying the bullet for any signs of danger.
"What could this strange object be your majesty?" asked the Lord Chamberlain.
"I am not quite certain what this object is, but I am certain that this object is not from the Shi'ar Empire and is from some foreign planet not known to us.But, what planet could this object be from?" wondered Lilandra.
Suddenly, a lone figure fell out of the bullet and landed on the ground with a soft thud.The Imperial Guards then immediately went towards the figure, regarding it with caution. Lilandra then quickly approached the figure and covered her mouth in surprise.
"Sharra and K'ythri preserve us!This young woman…looks so familiar…But, how did she get inside that object?Guards!Bring her to my bedchambers at once!I will tend to her as best as I can!"
The Imperial Guards then lifted the young woman off the ground and carried her towards Lilandra's bedchambers.
The room started swirling around with psychedelic colors covering Kitty Pryde's eyes as she woke up.Kitty rubbed her eyes, trying to clear her vision and when she tried to rise up, she felt dizzy and fell back onto the bed. She then said, "Aw man…why does it feel like a giant bullet just ran straight through my head?"
"That is because you were inside a bullet," a soft voice sounded across the room.
"What the heck?!"Kitty looked around frantically and she saw a gorgeous woman who had black markings on her face and black feathery hair approaching her.
"Where…where am I?" asked Kitty.
"You are in the Shi'ar Empire and inside my bedchamber recovering," said the woman.
"The Shi'ar Empire?Wait a minute, I think I heard of this place before and you definitely look familiar…" Kitty pondered and then added breathlessly, "Lilandra?"
"Yes, and you must be Kitty Pryde," said Lilandra smiling.
"Lilandra!I'm so happy to see you again!" said Kitty excitedly, hugging Lilandra.
"And I am glad to see you too, little one. Except, you are not so little anymore I see," said Lilandra.
"Well, it's been a long time since I was Sprite, that lovable little superhero that everyone loved!" said Kitty smiling.
"And are you still known as Sprite?" asked Lilandra.
"Actually, I'm Shadowcat now, but that's a long story," said Kitty.
"Speaking of long stories, why were you inside that bullet?" asked Lilandra.
Kitty then looked down and said sadly, "So much has happened since we last met, so I guess I'll just skip to what had currently happened when we were on the Breakworld."
"The Breakworld? I do not think that this planet is known to us," said Lilandra.
"It wasn't known to us either, actually. We just recently found out that this planet even exists.But I think I need to explain about how we got tangled up into the Breakworld in the first place.Years ago, a terrible virus called the Legacy virus broke out and was killing the mutant population.Things seemed hopeless until we discovered a way to prevent the virus from spreading and that was for a mutant to sacrifice their life for the cure to work.The mutant who ended up sacrificing his life was Peter himself."
Kitty paused for a few moments, trying not to let her emotions get to her and then she went on:
"After I heard what happened to Peter, I just couldn't bear it and I ended up leaving the X-Men, while taking his ashes back to Russia.But during that time, I remembered that I joined the X-Men because I wanted to protect people from various threats and I couldn't let my emotions get to me, even though I had lost someone so dear to me.So, I decided to return to the X-Men and things were definitely different when I came back.But then, we discovered that there was a mutant cure that was just created and we went to the laboratories to investigate.As I got further into the laboratory, I ended up finding someone that I thought was dead."
"Peter?" said Lilandra softly.
Kitty slowly nodded her head and continued, "It turned out that Ord, the alien who came from the Breakworld, had somehow brought him back to life and they were doing experiments on him for the cure," Kitty said a little angrily and then continued:
"But, it turned out that there was a bigger plan at work here as the Breakworlders predicted that Peter was going to destroy their planet and they decided to send a large bullet towards Earth.But, I ended up getting inside of the bullet and I had to phase it to stop it from destroying the Earth.The Earth was saved, but I ended up getting trapped inside of the bullet and I thought that no one would ever rescue me… until now anyway," Kitty finished.
Lilandra looked at Kitty in awe and said, "I must say Kitty, you have truly proved your bravery these past few years.I am sure that the X-Men are proud of you."
"Thank you," Kitty said; but suddenly, she looked up in shock and said, "Oh my god, the X-Men!They must think that I am dead!I got to get back to them, but how will I get back to Earth?"
"Do not worry, I will send one of my most elite Imperial Guards to escort you back to Earth." Lilandra then called out, "Gladiator!"
Suddenly, the doors to the bedchamber opened and a large purple skinned man with a large Mohawk came inside."Yes your majesty?"
"Miss Kitty Pryde would like to go back to Earth. Please escort her back to her home planet," said Lilandra.
"I will do as you command, your majesty."
Meanwhile, back on Earth…
Colossus was scanning the area around the outer boundaries of New York City, searching for any signs of Kruun's whereabouts.
"Where could Kruun be hiding at?He could be anywhere around this area.This may take me a long time to search for his presence," said Colossus to himself.
As he continued searching, he suddenly heard a loud crashing sound coming from one of the abandoned buildings and Kruun came crashing out of the building, leveling it to the ground.
"On second thought, this did not take long at all," muttered Colossus to himself.
"COLOSSUS!PREPARE TO FACE YOUR DOOM!" yelled Kruun.
"Da, I had heard that too many times before," Colossus growled.He then got into a fighting stance and said:
"Shall we finish this, tovarisch?"
Meanwhile in space…
A small Shi'ar ship was zooming through space at break-neck speed, heading towards its destination Earth.Inside the ship, Gladiator was steering the ship while Kitty sat at the back.
"So, you have been Lilandra's most elite Imperial Guard for years, huh?" asked Kitty.
"I am indeed the most elite of Empress Lilandra's Imperial Guards as I am a force to be reckoned with!I once lifted the entire Baxter building with my bare hands and I only needed one punch to stop the Starship Enterprise!No force in this entire universe can stop me, even if they tried!" said Gladiator boldly.
"Yeah and I'm the Queen of England," said Kitty sarcastically.
Gladiator looked at Kitty confused and said, "Who is this Queen of England?Surely, she is not as powerful as our Empress Lilandra?"
Kitty just shook her head and said, "You know, for being the world's strongest alien being, you don't know much about Earth culture or sarcasm for that matter."
Back on Earth…
Colossus and Kruun continued fighting each other, their blows causing the buildings to crumble.Colossus then grabs Kruun by his arm and throws him into another abandoned building, causing the building to collapse into a large heap.Colossus then went towards the building to see if Kruun was still alive when suddenly; Kruun jumps out of the heap and tackles Colossus to the ground.Colossus struggled on the ground, trying to get Kruun off of him, but Kruun wouldn't budge as he dug his knees deeper into Colossus' stomach.
"HA, HA! I GOT YOU NOW! NOW DIE!" screamed Kruun.
Suddenly, a low booming sound came from the sky as a small ship started landing in the empty area.
"What in the world?" Colossus wondered to himself.
Once the ship landed, a tall figure emerged from the doorway and he said in a loud voice, "I am Gladiator and I have come to this planet to deliver a passenger safely back home!"
Kruun looked up at Gladiator and said menacingly, "Shut up, you insignificant insect or I will pummel you to the ground!"
Gladiator glared dangerously at Kruun and bellowed, "YOU DARE SPEAK SO INFORMALLY TO ME?YOU WILL NOW KNOW THE IMMENSE POWER I YIELD!"
Gladiator then flew towards Kruun and knocked him off of Colossus, tackling him to the ground.Colossus then slowly got up from the ground, holding his stomach and saw Gladiator and Kruun fighting each other.
"Gladiator is back on Earth? Boize Moi…" Colossus groaned.
Kruun tried to take a swing at Gladiator, but Gladiator just grabbed his hand and ended up ripping his remaining arm out of its socket.Kruun then screamed out in pain and slumped to the ground, but was then punched out cold by Gladiator.
"Pathetic," Gladiator muttered as he threw Kruun's arm to the ground.He then picked Kruun off from the ground and turned towards Colossus and said, "It seems that this insignificant fool was giving you trouble, though I am not surprised he had nearly beaten you.I will take him to the Shi'ar Empire where he will be put on trial for his crimes against the planet Earth."
"Sounds good to me," said Colossus.
"And by the way, I had mentioned earlier that I have a passenger who needed to get back to Earth safely. I am sure you know who this person is," said Gladiator as he boarded the ship.
Colossus looked confused for a moment as the ship lifted up and flew away from the area, with Kruun inside.Just as Colossus was about to leave, a soft voice called out,
"Hey Peter."
Colossus then stopped abruptly and he turned around to see where the voice came from.When he finally got a good look at the figure that called out his name, his breath caught in his throat and he said quietly:
"Katya?Is that really you?"
Kitty then walked up towards Colossus and said smiling, "You bet it is."
The two X-Men then reached their hands towards each other, both afraid that the other would disappear if they didn't held on to each other.When their hands joined together, they felt a perfect harmony that they had once experienced while they were on the Breakworld together.
"Welcome back, Katya," whispered Colossus with tears in his eyes.
"Glad to be back, Peter," Kitty said with emotion ringing in her voice.

Acerbis Wave MX10 gear surprised us with its expert fit, making it an instant favorite.
If there's one set of motorcycle gear I've wanted in my closet for the past couple years it's something from the
line. We're typically fortunate enough to have more dirt bike gear than we know what to do with, but getting a set of Acerbis proved more difficult than expected because distribution in America is still very limited. Well, it finally showed up and the Wave MX10 was blindingly orange and absolutely killer to wear.
Most jerseys are cookie-cutter versions of one another, but the Wave sets itself apart with a large rubber logo patch sewn high on the chest. The defining feature adds significant weight to the jersey and I was originally very leery of it. However, after wearing and washing it, the logo is firmly in place and is very unnoticeable while riding. It acts as a mini roost deflector for those who don't wear them. I try to wear a full chest protector at all times but never had any issues with the logo interfering. The neck and micro-cuffs are comfortably snug and the pre-curved arms have the right amount of fabric. Made from 100% polyester, the Wave jersey cleans up well and has resisted staining.
The MX10 pants looked a little tight to begin with, but once I slipped them over my POD knee braces, they proved to be just right, especially after the first couple washes. These are expensive moto trousers, but the heavy-duty Nylon construction, Kevlar-reinforced right knee and perfectly placed spandex and elastic allow this durable pant to bend and move with the rider in all situations. The double-cinch waist closure is one of my favorite features. It pulls from both sides to create an unmatched fit. Inside is a mesh liner extending to the knees. The cuffs don't have soft elastic, which I typically prefer, but I never had any problems with uncomfortable pressure points inside my boots. Some other pants like the
Klim Chinook pants
offer extra features, but if you don't need pockets then the Acerbis garb is near perfect.
Usually with a set of gloves, some of the fingers are a tad long while one or two fit just right – not so with the Wave. I loved the fit and it offers a good blend of protective coverage and breathability. Spandex, Neoprene and mesh panels make up the back of the glove giving it plenty of flex. It's standard to have silicone print at the end of the index and middle fingers, but Acerbis extends it all the way down onto the palm for added grip. The Clarino palm is soft but durable and an additional patch reinforces the thumb area. If anything the Velcro closure is a little large, but overall this is an awesome glove.
The MX10 pants are like a second layer of skin - light and tight.
This has become my new favorite set of gear, especially for racing. The only downfall is trying to get a set. Distribution should increase in the future, but for now you have to contact
Acerbis USA
directly. What I didn't get to do was wear it in really hot weather, but I did ride it in temps ranging from the mid-30s to about 70 degrees and the MX10 gear has held up admirably and performed impressively. I love it partly because it is exotic, but mostly because there's not one ounce or inch of extra material, and it never pinches, bunches or wads up. For many gear reviews, there's not much to say about the jersey and gloves, but every piece of the Acerbis ensemble is noteworthy. It's like a new, better layer of skin.
Wave Pant - $170

"The PM's visit to Sabarimala should create an awareness of the problems faced, and perhaps it will lead to the dissolution of the Devaswom Board, just as that other white elephant, the Planning Commission was disbanded. That would be not a day too soon. Kerala's temples deserve the right to manage themselves without busybodies from government interfering in them." – Rajeev Srinivasan
The hill abode of Sri Ayyappan in the Western Ghats has become one of the most-visited temples in India, and it is in the list of places where the most places converge in the world (Source: The Economist, 2013). Unfortunately, it is also a testament to the incompetence and uncaring attitude of the Indian state, because pilgrims suffer greatly if they wish to visit.
Therefore I am delighted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi may visit the shrine this year, according to G. Ananthakrishnan ("Sabarimala on PM radar") in The Telegraph, as it may force the authorities to improve the critically deficient infrastructure that they could easily upgrade, but won't. It is also a metaphor for what appears to be active official hostility to Hindu pilgrims.
I know because I just went to Sabarimala for Deepavali. I have done the pilgrimage five or six times over many years, and can testify first-hand as to how it has deteriorated over time. My very first pilgrimage was when I was 17, and at that time there were no permanent settlements on the summit of the hill, where the shrine is. People only went there during the season (November to January) and for a few days at the beginning of every Malayalam month.
The main difference is the number of pilgrims visiting, which has grown exponentially, as it is an attractive, albeit difficult, trip, and the worship of Ayyappa has grown dramatically in the southern states. Then, I walked alone up the hill through rough paths, and I encountered only a handful of people who were going down the hill. When I went to the summit, I could pray for as long as I wanted in front of the deity's tiny abode.
A few days ago, there were thousands of pilgrims at the summit, and I encountered hundreds returning down the arduous climb. During the season the numbers swell to hundreds of thousands of black-clad visitors, as the total number over the truncated period comes to over 30 million (which is the entire population of Kerala, to give some perspective).
Unfortunately, this tsunami of pilgrims has overwhelmed the carrying capacity of the area, and it makes the strenuous climb far more difficult than it needs to be. For, from the Pamba River staging area where vehicles park, it is a vertiginous climb up a few thousand feet through dense tropical forest to the small plateau where the shrine is. It is hard on the feet (we climbed barefoot up the granite and concrete path), on the heart (every year a few people have cardiac arrest), and on your system in general (there are only a dozen or so toilets on this path).
Once you get up to the plateau, things don't get any better. Often, in peak-season, you have to wait for up to 10-12 hours in line in concrete sheds with corrugated-iron sheeting as roofs, which gets stiflingly hot on sunny days. Accommodation availability is utterly minimal: many sleep in these very sheds. Toilets, bathrooms, a clean place to sleep, decent food to eat, medical care—all are scarce.
The amount of plastic trash around the place is startling: bottles, bags. There are feral pigs – yes, wild pigs with mean-looking fangs – rooting in the food waste and human waste, and they add their droppings to the mess of mud and paper and flowers and plastic.
And there have been several stampedes in the past, which obviously is a problem of poor organisation and crowd management. (Tirupati, with an equally large number of pilgrims, has figured out crowd control; there is no reason why this cannot be attempted in Sabarimala too.)
This is no way to run a holy place. Nor any way to treat poor pilgrims who come from far away. I once met a barefoot pilgrim who was a Sri Lankan-origin investment banker in London, but many are ordinary folks from villages in interior Karnataka or Andhra Pradesh. They come, black-clad and bearded after 41 days of penance, carrying on their heads the twin coconuts filled with ghee that they will use for ablutions. These are the believers, that vast and invisible substratum of India that Dharampal once mentioned: they follow ancient practices of pilgrimage to holy spots, ignoring the cities and other distractions. This is eternal India, sanatana dharma.
You get a glimpse of this true India when you finally reach the sanctum with your aching and weary body, your only thoughts those about Ayyappa. Strangely, when you try to get your micro-second glimpse of the presiding deity before you are shoved forward by the press of those behind you, you tend to forget all the hassles. Because it is a point of singular power, and it has been so for millennia: historian Lokesh Chandra notes that it was once a temple to both Shiva and the Avalokiteswara Padmapani (the Bodhisattva of Compassion) simultaneously, as described by the Buddhist monk Hiuen Tsang (Xuanzang) who visited some 1,400 years ago and considered it already an ancient temple. (See my old article on its history here.)
The criminal neglect of the temple is mostly due to state hostility and partly to sheer incompetence. Kerala alternatively has Communist-led and Congress-led governments, which for practical purposes means a Communist/Muslim coalition or a Christian/Muslim coalition. The Hindu vote is fragmented and divided, to the extent that the BJP is yet to have a single MP from the state, although O. Rajagopal almost unseated Shashi Tharoor in Trivandrum last May. Modi appeals to the OBC Ezhavas (the mainstay of the Communists) and to the SC Pulayas; and this may lead to some electoral realignments, and that is surely part of his calculations.
There is a monstrous entity called the 'Devaswom Board' that controls all Hindu temples (and note please: only Hindu temples, as Christian and Muslim places of worship are entirely free of control or even audit or tax. I read a ruling by an Income Tax appellate court that Hinduism is a way of life, not a religion, and therefore Hindu temples are not tax-exempt!)
In fact, in an allegedly secular state, there should be separation of 'church' and 'state', that is, the government should not interfere in religion. That is true for Christians and Muslims: the State leaves them alone to do whatever they want with their churches and mosques. But in the case of Hindus, the government expropriates whatever Hindu temples have. The Devaswom Board is a violation of the constitutional principles of equality before the law and freedom of religion.
This is the principal reason Hindu temples are in trouble in Kerala, as the Devaswom Board, with atheists and Communists often as board members, acts as a mechanism to commingle the revenues of temples with government revenue. In other words, the Devaswom Board, and thus the Kerala government, steal the money that pilgrims donate to Sabarimala (and other large temples like Guruvayur). No more than 5 percent of this is spent on upkeep and maintenance and infrastructure development in the big temples; the rest is swallowed by the state treasury.
Many of the smaller temples under Devaswom control are closing because there is no money spent on them at all (I read a report quoting the Travancore Manual that were some 10,000 temples in Travancore a hundred years ago; while today there are fewer than 1,500). This verges on extinction.
Temples are torn down for 'development'. For instance, the 1,800 year-old Parthasarathy Temple in Aranmula is slated for severe downgrading for an unnecessary airport project there which is basically a land-grab. Dozens of temples were torn down to create Cochin's airport. In the 1950s, a planter tried to burn down the Sabarimala shrine to grab the forest land around it. All this is simply abominable.
A visit by the Prime Minister should shine the spotlight on this unsavory aspect of what is quite simply apartheid against Hindus. In addition, he will see first-hand how his idea of a Swachh Bharat has a long way to go: unlike most temples in Kerala, where the abundance of water, and related habits, ensure cleanliness, poor Sabarimala is the epitome of unsanitary conditions.
The PM's visit should create an awareness of the problems faced, and perhaps it will lead to the dissolution of the Devaswom Board, just as that other white elephant, the Planning Commission was disbanded. That would be not a day too soon. Kerala's temples deserve the right to manage themselves without busybodies from government interfering in them.
If the PM were to visit during the season, the difficulty in ensuring security will mean disruption for pilgrims, especially if he were to make the full trek up and down the hill, which, he, as a physically fit individual, should be able to do, unlike all other PMs so far. Still, that would be a small price to pay for the possible improvements it might bring. – FirstPost, 24 October 2014
Socio-political history of Sabarimala – Ashok Chowgule
There is a socio-political history that needs to be mentioned about Sabrimala, which would indicate the civilisational importance of the temple. From Wikipedia, we can read: "In 1950, a fire broke out which destroyed the entire temple and it had to be reconstructed. According to the official enquiry report submitted by the Deputy Inspector General of Police, K. Kesava Menon, some Christian fundamentalists committed the arson."
This was preceded by attempts of the Christian churches to grab properties on the way to the hill, erect crosses and shrines. The objective was to block the path to the temple and so prevent worship at the site. The local RSS units (at the time this was the only mass based Hindu organisation working at the grassroot level—VHP, of which I am a senior office bearer, was formed in 1964 by the RSS) had to mount a protest against this effort, some of which had to be done in a violent way. This was successful, and yet another pilgrimage shrine was kept free for the Hindus to be able to worship in the future.
What Wikipedia does not mention is that the vandals were instigated by the Christian churches, and DIG Kesava Menon has given names of various people involved. None of them were prosecuted.
Rajeev Srinivasan, the author of the above article, does mention the vandalism when he says: "In the 1950s, a planter tried to burn down the Sabarimala shrine to grab the forest land around it." I recognise he did not dwell on it, so that the attention to the main point, relating to the present, is not diluted.

GeoDigital announced that Minneapolis-based Xcel Energy has chosen to implement its WorkStudio work management system for Vegetation Management and Pole Maintenance. Over 700 contractor personnel and company employees in eight states will use the system for day-to-day management of vegetation and wood pole maintenance.
In selecting WorkStudio, Xcel Energy sought a geospatial solution to help meet the following goals:
GeoDigital will supply Xcel Energy with its WorkStudio platform including WorkPlanner for budgeting and program cycle management, VegWorks for mobile vegetation assessments and audits, VegWorker for contractor production reporting, and InfoCenter for enterprise visibility into activity status and budget performance.
Jim Downie, Xcel Energy's Director of Vegetation Management & Ancillary Programs, said, "GeoDigital has been a critical business partner of Xcel Energy for more than eight years. In that time we've jointly developed a variety of VM solutions to address imminent threat, danger tree/hazard tree identification, routine maintenance planning and wildfire protection mitigation, to name a few. This software implementation will bring all of this functionality together into one work management solution that will also enable us to manage a variety of other facility maintenance activities. Teamed up with front line representatives from our contractors we conducted a rigorous and detailed technical evaluation of the responses to our RFP. GeoDigital clearly demonstrated they could meet not only our current work management, analytical and field mobile needs, but would enable us to take that next major step in the evolution of our maintenance programs to improve reliability, better ensure compliance, reduce cost, improve worker safety and provide value to our customers."
Scott Rogers, GeoDigital's Senior Vice-President of Enterprise Solutions, said, "We look forward to working closely with the team at Xcel Energy. Our WorkStudio Best Practices for Vegetation Management will help get users into production quickly, while the platform's configurability and integration capabilities will allow Xcel Energy to support the full range of users and workflows needed on an enterprise software platform that can be readily adapted as Xcel Energy's needs evolve."
Chuck Anderson, GeoDigital's Senior Vice-President for the North American Utility Market, said, "We have worked with Xcel Energy for many years on several cutting edge initiatives, such as laser mapping for NERC vegetation and engineering compliance, fire fuels modeling and tree health analysis due to the mountain pine beetle epidemic. Xcel Energy's focus has always been to leverage technology, where appropriate, to improve service reliability of their network and reduce total system costs. We appreciate the trust Xcel Energy has once again placed in GeoDigital with this important initiative."

The Lift Store USA Announces the Availability of ADA Compliant Pool Lifts
Port St Lucie, FL, Feb 26, 2013 (PRWeb.com via COMTEX) -- Due to the recently eclipsed deadline for compliance with ADA regulations regarding public pools, there is now a strong need among various industries such as hotels, spas, condo associations, etc., for an ADA compliant yet economical pool lift. The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) had previously issued a mandate that all public facilities had to be in compliance with their 2010 Revised Requirements: Accessible Pools--Accessible Means of Entry and Exit by Mar 15, 2012. However, due to public concerns, this deadline was extended to Jan 31, 2013.
Story continues below ↓
The 2010 ADA Standards require that all newly constructed or altered swimming pools, wading pools, and spas have an accessible way for people with disabilities to enter and exit the pool. For pools already in existence, ADA requires full compliance only if it is "readily achievable" to do so, otherwise less stringent standards may be followed. The term "readily achievable" as defined by the ADA means that providing access is "easily accomplishable without much difficulty or expense." (For complete details on all compliance standards please visit
) The Lift Store is proud to announce that they now offer a line of high quality pool lifts from Harmar - a leading manufacturer of mobility lifts. This exciting new product meets and exceeds ADA regulations for providing accessible entry and exit of public pools and spas in hotels and motels, health clubs, recreation centers, public country clubs, rental apartments and condo buildings, and other public facilities, and is "readily achievable" due to its affordability and ease of installation. Due to their attractive appearance and neutral beige colors, these pool lifts blend well with any pool environment.
The new Harmar pool lift from The Lift Store has a weight capacity of 350-400 lbs depending on the model purchased. There will be three different models available - the P300, P350, and P400. Each model features stainless steel construction and a durable, weather-proof, powder-coated frame that creates a smooth layer of color for a long-lasting and beautiful finish that resists peeling, chipping, and fading. Each model also exceeds ADA regulations with a lowering depth of 26 inches. Harmar pool lifts also feature secure concrete anchor or surface bolt mounting as required by the ADA.
In addition, pool lifts come standard with a 24v easily removable battery pack, wall mount charger with hanger, waterproof, sealed hand control, and a seat belt. The P300 and P350 models feature folding arms and footplate. Also, beginning March 1st the P350 & P400 models will be available with an optional portable package.
For hotel and spa chains, as well as other public facilities that may require multiple pool lifts to provide access to pools and/or spas in more than one location, The Lift Store conveniently offers bulk pricing discounts. Customers who buy in bulk can expect significant savings over the list price for purchasing a single unit. To learn more about this exciting new product, or to inquire about bulk pricing, please visit
The Lift Store USA is a division of New Line Products, LLC. Its founder, Dennis Corrado, has over 10 years experience in the mobility lift industry, including installation, service, and troubleshooting.
