RT on DVD & Blu-Ray: Marvel's Phase One Collection on Blu-Ray
Plus, a bunch of movies barely anyone saw.
Believe it or not (and trust me when I say this isn't some half-baked attempt at an April Fool's joke column), there are no new wide releases coming out on home video this week. As a result, the Avengers-themed box set will easily be of greatest interest, while everything else sort of falls by the wayside. You may not have even heard of a few of the movies featured this week, but for better or worse, you can see below for the full list.
Marvel Cinematic Universe: Phase One - Avengers Assembled
Being that there aren't any new wide releases out this week, this particular item easily takes the top spot. In case you've been in a coma for the past five years or so, you're probably aware that a string of movies based on Marvel Comics characters have done rather well, both critically and commercially, and that they all served to set up one hefty blockbuster in the form of last year's The Avengers. Now, if you're a hard core fan, chances are you've already picked up a few or all of those films, but if you haven't, or if that annoying "friend" of yours refuses to return your Blu-rays of Thor and Iron Man, you may rejoice. This week, Disney is releasing a rather spiffy box set that includes all of the films collectively known as "Phase One" of Marvel's Avengers universe (all three aforementioned movies, plus Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Captain America), as well as a bonus disc with never before seen footage and a preview of "Phase Two." All of this comes packaged in a S.H.I.E.L.D.-esque briefcase with a replica of the Tesseract, which is also pretty cool. (P.S. -- Clicking on the poster image or the title link will take you to the Amazon page for the set.)
John Dies at the End
If you happen to peruse Cracked.com from time to time like I do (only during lunch, I swear), you probably know who David Wong is (a senior editor there) and you're likely aware of the novel he wrote, John Dies at the End. You're also probably aware that novel was turned into a movie, but if you actually saw the movie in theaters, you can count yourself among a select few. It's a bit difficult to summarize the story here; suffice it to say it involves a hallucinogenic drug that seems to have otherworldly metaphysical side effects and two college dropouts who attempt to battle an interdimensional invasion of sorts. In other words, it's precisely the kind of material you'd expect from a Cracked.com writer, and while many critics were left scratching their heads, a good number of them were still able to appreciate the film's charm and dark humor. At 60% on the Tomatometer, John Dies at the End is anything but your run-of-the-mill horror comedy, but if absurdity is your bag, you might like it.
The Sweeney
If you need a convincing badass for a British crime thriller, Ray Winstone is pretty much a top shelf choice; it's just unfortunate The Sweeney didn't impress more people. Based on the 1970s police drama of the same name, The Sweeney centers around a pair of officers in Flying Squad, a division of the London Police dedicated to armed robberies. Detective Inspector Jack Regan (Winstone) and Detective Constable George Carter (Ben Drew) are on the trail of a jewel theft when Regan begins to piece together that the culprits are working with dangerous Serbian criminals; though instructed not to follow through, Regan decides to pursue justice to the end. Back in the late '70s, The Sweeney was actually adapted into two feature films, concurrent with the series and starring the same cast, and those films took advantage of the opportunity to present stories in a rawer format. With the setting updated for contemporary audiences in this latest film, however, critics were simply disappointed that it mostly played it safe, resulting in a somewhat generic movie that garnered just a 47% on the Tomatometer, despite Winstone's charismatic performance.
Hitler's Children
Though it opened in super-limited release and only has a handful of reviews at the moment, here's a documentary with a unique angle: where are the descendants of the highest ranking Nazis of the Third Reich, and how have their lives been affected by the legacy of their forebears? Director Chanoch Zeevi secures interviews with a number of subjects who sport last names like Himmler and G�ring, revealing the delicate balance between the love and admiration one has for one's parents/grandparents and the natural disgust one feels when considering their crimes. It's an emotion most people experience at one time or another in their lives, amplified here to a much greater extent, and most critics who have weighed in so far say it's alternately haunting and fascinating. At 79%, Hitler's Children may not probe as deeply as you might want, but it still provides some thought-provoking insights about some very human emotions.
Meet the Fokkens
As long as we're talking about provocative documentaries, why not Meet the Fokkens? In this surprisingly lighthearted portrait, Gabrielle Provaas and Rob Schr�der profile a pair of Dutch twin sisters, Louise and Martine Fokkens, who have been operating as sex workers in Amsterdam's red light district for 50 years. Yes, you read that right: 50 years. Granted, Louise had to retire due to arthritis, but Martine is still at it, and we get a glimpse into both of their worlds. It may sound distasteful or exploitive, and it may derive its name from a subpar Ben Stiller comedy, but critics say Meet the Fokkens is charming and giddy, bolstered by the larger-than-life personalities of the sisters. It currently holds a 93% on the Tomatometer based on fifteen reviews, and even if some of the positive reviews concede the narrative wanders just a little bit, Louise and Martine are so interesting and fun to watch, that most just didn't seem to mind.
Also available this week:
- The HBO production Hemingway & Gellhorn, directed by Philip Kaufman and starring Clive Owen and Nicole Kidman, about the relationship between the celebrated author and his journalist wife.
- The Baytown Outlaws (19%), starring Billy Bob Thornton and Eva Longoria in a frenetic, oddball actioner about a woman trying to rescue her godson from her ex-husband.

Never a Dull Mo @ Staunton Media
This week we get to deal with the UN in New York, and from Hollywood, our own Gabriel Byrne will be in the house. He will be one of the guest speakers at the Theatre Forum at NUI Galway's Bailey Allen Hall on Thursday and Friday of this week.
National Bike Week Promo
Our promotional video was chosen by Galway City Council for part of their promotional efforts for Bike Week 2011, bringing national attention to our work here at Staunton Media
Big up to my crew: Leon, Tim and Bill.
Staunton Media International
Been extremely busy for the last couple of months. Video shoots, band PAs, Event Management, and interactive AV displays, its been all good, just not a lot of time for the paperwork and all that jazz. But no time for that now, as we're off on an international assignment now. Details later ...
NUIG Alumni Awards Highlights
Here's a video highlight package we put together for the NUIG Alumni Awards Gala Ball earlier this month.
Rock The World Record!
Here, as promised, video from the successful World Record attempt by NUI Galway's SU ... cheers to all!
What a Week!
Wow, just had one of the busiest week ever! Started off last Monday with a world record, would you believe, when NUIG's Student Union broke the world record for number of people 'Rocking the Boat' .. We were there filming and providing PA skills. Big shout out to classy French DJ Adrien Parmentier from rocking the joint. We'll have video by end of the week. Later that evening we were back behind the mixing desk doing sound for the anarchic comedy stylings of TV's David McSavage. What a nutter.
Then from the madness of College Week, it was straight into dealing with the glitz and glamour of the Alumni Awards Gala Ball. This year as well as providing AV support for the event, we also provided the multimedia portions of the Awards ceremony, which provoked an very positive audible response from the audience.
Monday Mayhem ...
Monday 28Feb should be interesting. College Week in Galway with NUIG attempting a world record of most people doing 'Rock The Boat' at 1pm in the Sports Hall. We'll be filming that, as well as coordinating the sound systems with help from DJ Soc and i104FM.
Then at 8pm we'll be proving sound and lighting for David Savage as TV's Savage Eye hits the Kirwan theatre at 8pm.
So, get along and do your thing, y'all.
NUI Galway Rock the Boat for Charity
NUIG SU are attempting a world record for Rock the Boat ... what's that? Have a look at this video we put together ...

You spent 9 months at the Musée d'Orsay? Wow. ... OK, just kidding. I get it. In fact to share a personal note with you, your comment reminds me of what my mother would sometimes angrily tell her six kids when we misbehaved or joked-around too much: "Sometimes I wish I could just put you kids right back where you came from!". Which would just stoke our stupid humor and bring dumb retorts such as, "Gee, mom, then to eat, we'd have to call for 'womb' service".
OK, I apologize (especially to mom).

A man in Glendale, Ariz., used a pickax in an attempt to destroy a police camera used to catch speeders, authorities said.

An office worker in Worcester, England, kept a World War I shell as a paperweight for years without knowing it was still live, a friend says. Jon Williamson said his friend, Jeff Heyes, had unknowingly put his own life in danger by keeping the live shell on his desk, using the potentially deadly item
An obese dog survived a night outside in Wisconsin because its fat provided insulation protecting it from temperatures so cold it was frozen to the pavement. Carey Payne, a manager at the Sheboygan County Humane Society shelter, said that she and other employees poured warm water on the animal to free it Thursday morning, The Sheboygan (Wis.) Press reported. The dog's owner faces charges of animal neglect.

President-elect Barack Obama's reported use of a Microsoft Zune mp3 player caused a Philadelphia newspaper's Web site to crash temporarily, an editor said. Drew Lazor, the online editor for citypaper.net, said Obama's choice of a Zune over his usual iPod while working out at a gym was reported as a rather innocuous comment in the original piece appearing in the weekly newspaper, the Chicago Tribune reported Friday. Lazor said the mention of Obama's Zune did not come until the fourth paragraph of the story but a tech blogger spotted the story and it kind of exploded from there.
A Plainfield, Ill., woman says she is flying the U.S.
A Naperville, Ill., woman who owns a Jeep that once belonged to President-elect Barack Obama said she plans to put the vehicle on eBay this month. Liz Murphy, 45, said she learned after purchasing her Jeep Grand Cherokee that Obama had been its first owner while he was serving as an Illinois state senator, the Chicago Sun-Times reported Friday. Murphy said eBay bidding on other Obama memorabilia -- including a Topps baseball card signed by Obama that had a high bid of $2,025 Friday -- has given her hope for a profitable auction. My plan is to put it out there to see what happens, Murphy said.
A Ludlow, England, auction includes a letter written by the former Prince of Wales lamenting his inability to serve on the front lines of World War I. The letter, written in March 1915 by the future King Edward VIII when he was 19-years-old, will be auctioned Dec.

Recently in Cairo:
An Egyptian court on Saturday [May 16] sentenced to death the deposed president, Mohamed Morsi of the Muslim Brotherhood, along with more than 100 others, for fleeing prison during the 2011 revolt against President Hosni Mubarak.
Mr. Morsi's conviction is the latest sign of the undoing of the uprising that overthrew Mr. Mubarak. Mr. Morsi, who was Egypt's first freely elected leader, now faces the death penalty for escaping extralegal detention — a form of detention that many Egyptians hoped would be eliminated by the revolution.
The past few years in Egypt have been painful to watch. The 2011 revolution that seemed to give many moderate Egyptians hope for a more democratic future was snuffed out after a 2013 coup against their first ever elected leader. Morsi was clearly unpopular and his religious extremism arguably rendered him unfit for the office. But it should be clear now that Egypt would be much better off had they democratically replaced him rather than the extreme response from al-Sisi and the Egyptian military.
At the time of the coup, I chatted a lot with a former co-worker from Microsoft who'd gone back to Alexandria (and who Dana and I visited in Cairo in 2007). He was torn between his fear of greater Islamic control of the country and his desire to trust the democratic process. It's hard for most Americans to put themselves in his shoes. He supported the coup, but hoped it would still lead to more democratic reforms. It hasn't (and he's since moved out of the country again).
Ebrahim Deen, a researcher based in South Africa, wrote about Morsi's death sentence (which he believes won't actually be carried out) at Informed Comment:
The trial verdicts –Mursi was sentenced to life in prison on the espionage charge as well– were procedurally flawed, defendant's had irregular access to legal representation, and evidence gathering and cross examination procedures were severely compromised. The glaring fact that the initial arrests were carried out by the former Mubarak regime in early 2011 under emergency law and without detention orders was not considered and so to [sic] was the communication between Mursi and an Aljazeera journalist the day of the 'breakout' wherein he provided the name, and street address of the prison, asserting that they were not escaping and would remain at the location awaiting government officials responses. The prosecutorial process had been extremely and even laughably shoddy. Of the around seventy Palestinians sentenced, two (Hossam Sanie and Raed El-Attar) had already died –Sanie as far ago as 2008 and Attar, during Israel's operation 'pillar of defence' in 2014, which caused the deaths of over 2000, mostly civilian, Gazans. Another, Hassan Salama, has purportedly been in detention in Israel since 1996 and could not have possibly committed the alleged crimes from inside an Israeli cell. Further in the espionage case, which saw Muslim Brotherhood leaders including Mohamed El-Beltagy and Mohamed Khairet El-Shater receive death sentences, Emad Shahin, a political science professor now based at Georgetown University, who has no real links with the Brotherhood was handed the same censure, and so to was Sondos Assem, a media liaison official employed by Mursi.
This is an insult to everyone's intelligence. Morsi is being sentenced for breaking out of a prison that shouldn't have had the authority to hold him in the first place. Al-Sisi has taken Egypt back to the pre-2011 authoritarian regime where illegal detentions are commonplace, torture is routine, and members of religious parties like the Muslim Brotherhood are presumed to be terrorists, regardless of what those individuals have actually done. Deen continues:
These sentences are the latest in a string of actions adopted by the Sisi regime to crackdown on opposition and descent. Following the 2013 ouster, thousands have been killed, and over 16000 political prisoners currently languish in Egyptian detention facilities. A protest law, which has banned sit-ins and severely curtailed other protest rights, was adopted in November 2013, while in April, the Cairo Administrative Court criminalised worker strikes. Liberals and secular activists have not escaped this purge, in December 2014 Ahmed Maher, Mohamed Adel, and Ahmed Douma, three influential members of the April 6 youth movement were sentenced to three years for organizing protests in contravention of the protest law, while in February Douma was amongst over two hundred who received life sentences for inciting violence and destroying a science facility housing precious artefacts. Shahin's farcical conviction falls into this milieu. Being opposed to the military ouster, publically vocalising this through writings and interviews, and being somewhat more 'reputable' internationally were the main reasons informing his death sentence. In 2014 alone, over 1400 individuals were sentenced to death in mass trials, which usually took only a few days to complete, and lacked even basic prosecutorial and judicial impartiality. It is noteworthy that the judiciary was a key cog in the political structure which allowed and maintained Mubarak's regime and that following Mursi's ouster, Sisi has sought a similar role for the institution –Adli Mansour (head of the Supreme Constitutional Court) was even installed caretaker president following the coup.
At least it's not a theocracy, I guess.

I got a Schrade Schf37M big knife thick blade and sharp was chopping wood and the tip broke off no worries Schrade took great care of me. Sent me another one.

Only 4 stars because of sheath with just two screws on one side could be weak point of sheath. So I put a rubber band around it. I hope that keeps it secure. I love the knife sharp and tough I gave it a tough work out and no complaints.
Beautiful hunting knife. Would definitely recommend this

Aricent Unveils OSS / BSS Innovation Lab for Enhancing Service Provider Operations
PALO ALTO, Calif., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire/ – Aricent(TM), a global innovation, technology and services company focused exclusively on communications, today announced a new facility and associated services aimed at helping service providers architect and implement the latest in multi-vendor Operational Support Systems (OSS) and Business Support Systems (BSS) technology. Based upon a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach, the lab highlights how service providers can evolve their existing OSS / BSS solutions as well as rapidly implement new OSS / BSS components in support of advanced services and 4G. Aricent's new Innovation Lab is designed to help operators assess, develop and deploy new business models and improve the overall customer experience.
One example of the frameworks and services available through Aricent's Innovation Lab is a WiMAX reference architecture. Aricent's pre-packaged OSS / BSS solution for WiMAX can enable operators to accelerate time-to-revenue and quickly monetize new 4G services in emerging markets. This solution addresses the fundamental need among WiMAX operators to minimize capital expenditures, while investing in a solution that can scale and adapt to the evolution of new product offerings and business models.
"Aricent's extensive expertise in end-to-end OSS / BSS system integration is evidenced by the fully integrated order management process for WiMAX and Triple Play solutions," said Chun-Ling Woon, vice president of marketing and business development at ConceptWave. "The pre-packaged OSS / BSS solution fully utilizes the ConceptWave Order Management product set and can be conveniently demonstrated to interested operators in the Aricent Innovation Lab."
Advances in mobile devices and connected consumer electronics, new wireless broadband technologies including Femtocells, WiMAX and LTE and a wave of Web 2.0 and cloud-based services are driving significant changes in carriers' OSS / BSS implementations. Aricent's OSS / BSS Innovation Lab helps service providers overcome a number of related challenges, including:
- Integrating and Commercializing new OSS / BSS solutions based on COTS platforms: Green field operators in emerging markets are looking for very cost-effective, pre-packaged COTS-based solutions that are highly scalable and can be implemented quickly offering the flexibility to address evolving business models;
- Deploying new Network Infrastructure, including 4G: As operators look to deploy the latest 4G technologies like WiMAX and LTE, optimizing CAPEX and OPEX while trying to quickly recoup investments is critical. Aricent' s lab provides a cost effective feasibility modeling vehicle for implementing new technologies and solutions that involve multiple OSS / BSS vendors;
- Delivering and Monetizing Web 2.0 and Cloud-based services: Carriers are looking to open network APIs and embrace cloud services, partnering with external vendors to deliver next-generation context aware services like location-based social networking and mobile gaming. As a result, there is a critical need for creating a back office infrastructure that makes it simple for third-party application providers to monetize and roll out services.
The Aricent Innovation lab is initially equipped with COTS products from leading partners including ConceptWave, Hewlett Packard, Oracle and Telcordia. The lab also includes a number of Aricent software products and frameworks, which enable faster roll out of a variety of new services. Aricent will expand the number of partner products that will be integrated in the lab as the partner program continues to grow.
"Aricent has deep domain expertise in wireless and wireline networks, a thorough understanding of OSS and BSS processes and a 15-year heritage working with the leading infrastructure vendors," said Ajay Gupta, sr. vice president at Aricent. "This, combined with a vast and proven implementation capability, makes us a uniquely qualified partner for operators deploying and commercializing new broadband technologies."

Currently there are two Institutional repositories in Sudan, namely: The Sudanese Association of Libraries and Information Library English Literature Collection (SALI) .a Greenstone-based repository providing access to the conference outputs of the institution. The number of available items is rather low (4 as of 8/8/2011) and they are available in English and Arabic. The interface is also available in English and Arabic. The Sudan Open Archive (SOA) is designed and implemented by the Kenya and UK-based Rift Valley Institute, working with institutional partners in the north and south of Sudan The Archive was created by DL- Digital Library Consulting using open-source Greenstone archive software developed by the New Zealand Digital Library project at the University of Waikato offering free digital access to knowledge about all regions of Sudan. SOA 3.0, includes two new special collections: the first thirty-two volumes of Sudan Notes and Records, Sudan's flagship scholarly journal, and the collected papers of the late Sudanese scholar, Richard Gray. It is maintained with support from the J.M. Kaplan Fund. Other partners include UNICEF, UNEP and the Southern Sudan Centre for Census, Statistics and Evaluation.
Enabling Environment
The University of Khartoum (UofK) will be having an Institutional Repository so researchers affiliated with its Faculty of Science will be able to comply with these Open Access policies by simply depositing a copy of their research papers at DSpace@ScienceUofK, either directly (via self-archiving) or with help from the repository managers (mediated deposit).
According to ITU (International Telecommunication Union) with a population of 45,047,502, Internet users grew from 30,000 in 2000 to 4,200,000 in 2011, it implies that 9.3 percent of the population has an internet access.
Potential Barriers
Poor ICT infrastructure and Low level of awareness of the potentials of Open Access amongst organizations that sponsor research activities in Sudan.
Major Projects/Initiatives
OASCIR is a 10-month project aiming to promote awareness of Open Access-related issues among the U of K researchers, scholarly community, librarians and beyond. It is funded by EIFL.net.. This project started on March 2011 and two training courses on Open Access and the IR management were scheduled for the end of July- funding of the Project and of this specific training activity respectively by EIFL-OA and the Carlos III University Madrid. See also OASCIR Project blog
The Open University of Sudan (OUS) is a partner with The Open University (UKOU) in the project Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa Project (TESSA). It brings together teachers and teacher educators from across Africa. It offers a range of materials (Open Educational Resources) in four languages to support school based teacher education and training.
National and Institutional Level Policies/Mandates
Many current funding agencies operating in Sudan have established some kind of Open Access policy, by which the research results of such funding (that is mainly research papers) should be made available Open Access within 6 or 12 months from its publication on a research journal.
Details of Key Organizations
Open University of Sudan (OUS), In pursuit of the desire to liberate higher education from the limitations of time and place, the Sudanese Council of Ministers founded the Open University of Sudan (OUS) in 2002. OUS is a partner with The Open University (UKOU) in the project Teacher Education in Sub-Saharan Africa Project (TESSA).

There's been lots of media attention lately for the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge which is really cool, In fact I did that challenge myself (John – editor) We want to make sure though that a hardworking group of volunteers and cyclists from the ALS Cycle of Hope are also given accolades for their efforts to raise awareness, support and research dollars for ALS. These folks did far more than just dump ice water on their heads. The following post is an excerpt from the ALS Cycle for Hope post event wrap-up for 2014. Accent Inns has been thrilled to support these awesome volunteers! Each year, for the past three years, the Cycle of Hope Society proudly offers a variety of exciting fundraising events and fun community/family cycling events in Kelowna and Victoria. (more…)

2nd Annual ALS Cycle of Hope LaunchesFriday, June 14th, 2013
Here's a copy of the ALS Cycle of Hope Launch – June Press Release – "Inspiring hope for families living with ALS"
VICTORIA – A new crop of riders are set to pedal 700 kilometers for seven days starting in Kamloops August 8th and finishing in Keremeos August 14th for the 2nd Annual ALS Cycle of Hope. This year's Awareness Journey will be more demanding physically but will also feature riders who have been directly affected by ALS through family and friends.
"I'm so excited to build on what we accomplished last year by growing the size of the team and the scope of this year's event", said Cindy Lister the inspiration behind the Cycle of Hope. "Last year was about riding for my Dad and starting this journey. This year it's about spreading the awareness further with each of these riders sharing their stories and those of every community we ride through."
In addition to the Awareness Journey, this year the public can join one of two community rides in Kelowna on August 11th; a 30 or a 70-kilometer loop or join a virtual ride on-line (www.cycleofhope.ca) where riders can track their mileage and raise support for ALS in their own community. (more…)

Stretching and myofascial release ARE important... Muscles have the most optimal force production at certain, optimal length. If some of your muscles are too short or too long, then the forces produced are less than optimal and your performance suffers... In addition, muscle groups work in synergies, and if groups are tight and/or shortened, then the forces around the joints are not as they are supposed to for optimal movement and there's more stress on the joint, and sooner or later injuries.
If your muscles are in great condition (no trigger points etc) and in optimal length, you don't need much stretching. But I bet that EVERY tennis player has some issues, because tennis is so one-sided. One side of the hip is overactive and too tight, other side may not fire and all... sooner or later, injury will happen somewhere along the kinetic chain.
So here, to stretch and do myofascial release after your training is super important --- to get your tissue to where it is supposed to me.
Even joggers can have muscular imbalances (front vs back) and they need to stretch.
We are what we repeatedly do... Excellence then is not an act, but a habit.

It's a little princess!

Fans of Julia Roberts have been delighted to see the leading lady return to the red carpet this year. Her public appearance this week had nothing to do with the promotional trail however, but rather philanthropy.
On Monday the actress joined stars including Robert Redford and Harry Connick Jr at a special benefit in New York to celebrate the late Paul Newman and his Hole In The Wall Gang camps – residential summer camps set up for children with serious ailments.
Hosted by the late actor's wife of 50 years, Joanne Woodward, the evening featured performances by accomplished pianist Harry, inspired to contribute to an "incredible cause", and Grammy winner James Taylor. Also helping entertain the star-studded audience were some of the children who attend the camps, the first of which was founded by the actor in 1988.
For Julia, the establishing and running of the camps by Paul, who she described after his passing in September as her hero, has been made all the more poignant by motherhood.
Speaking of her long involvement with the camps, which she first began working with 13 years ago, Julia said her volunteer work had been a joy, adding that having three healthy children of her own has made her feel especially blessed.
Named after the gang in Paul's hit film Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, in which he starred with Robert Redford, the camps give children a vacation experience based around the philosophy that everyone is equal. By 2012 there will be over 20 camps in operation around the world.

'Ways have to be devised to bring them back into the system'
If the country needs to increase the Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER), we will have to address the issue of dropouts and devise ways to bring them back into the system, suggested All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) chairman S.S. Mantha.
Hostel for boys
Participating in the foundation stone-laying ceremony for the 'Ashoka' SC/ST boys' hostel at the Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology here on Saturday, Mr. Mantha listed out the steps being taken to address the problem.
"We have worked with the University Grants Commission on steps to introduce a bachelor's course in vocational training as well as a diploma course. Though the official notification for these courses was given in September last year, we have requested the government to adopt it," he said.
Speaking about the National Vocational Education Qualifications Framework (NVEQF), which, he said, provides pathways for skills, education and job opportunities, he also said the concept of community colleges should be advocated.
"We are allotting Rs. 2 crore to 200 polytechnics for this," he added.
The 'Ashoka' hostel, which is being funded by the AICTE's National Skill Development Policy (NSDP), is one among six hostels being established in Karnataka, other than the Rs. 28-crore grants and a research park being set up here, Mr. Mantha said.
Petroleum firms
Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas M. Veerappa Moily, who also participated in the programme, said Karnataka was considered the 'Makkah of technical education'. He also proposed to get petroleum companies on board for campus placements in technical institutions.
Minister for Higher Education R.V. Deshpande spoke about the need to bring in more transparency in the teacher recruitment process, and said the government was working on bringing in more transparency.

Pune: Till Friday, since there has not been enough rain in the catchment of the dams that provide water to the city, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has taken a decision of supplying water on alternate days to the areas falling under municipal limit, starting from Monday.
The four dams — Khadakwasala, Warasgaon, Panshet and Temghar — have a total of 1.15 TMC water and the PMC is planning to utilise this till end of July, and therefore, the civic administration has decided to cut down water supply even further.
Speaking to the media after a meeting between PMC and the irrigation department officials, Pune's Mayor Chanchala Kodre said, "Since there has not been enough rain in the catchment of the dams, the civic administration is planning to utilise the available water till August 1."
Puneites have no option but to wait for good rains to get back regular water supply. Kodre stated that if catchment receive good amount of rain till August 1, the civic administration will withdraw the imposed water cuts.
Officials of PMC's water department stated that if some areas do not get water supply due to technical issues, then the civic administration will provide water in those areas with the help of 70 tankers. Apart from that, the civic administration has also decided to stop supply of water for construction of buildings. In case any contractor is found using drinking water for construction purpose, the civic body will be issuing stop-work order to him.
Water department officials have also stated that the mosques in the city will be supplied with water through tankers as Ramzaan is going on.
Timely measures
PMC's water department officials said that they have taken action against illegal connections and excess use of water. At least 113 cases of illegal water connections, 52 cases of usage of submersible motors have been detected. Apart from that the department repaired 114 taps which were leaking.

Trading in a market created to combine stocks from Colombia, Chile and Peru is languishing as transactions in the first four months totaled $2.9 million, or the equivalent of about 20 seconds of average volume in Brazil.
Celfin Capital SA, a Santiago-based brokerage, named Rupert Stebbings managing director of its new Colombia unit.
BP Plc , seeking to raise funds to pay compensation for the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, agreed to sell fields in Colombia to Ecopetrol SA and Talisman Energy Inc. for $1.9 billion in cash.
Colombia's central bank kept its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a record low for a third month as policy makers bet that a rebound in economic growth is unlikely to spur excessive inflation.
Isagen SA tumbled in Bogota trading after Oscar Ivan Zuluaga, who opposes the sale of the government's stake in the hydropower company, led the first round of Colombia's presidential vote.
Avianca Holdings SA rebounded to its $15 initial public offering price in New York after the Colombian airline reported a third-quarter profit that more than doubled from last year.
Torrential rains and flooding in Colombia will boost food prices as farmers struggle to harvest crops and transport their produce, Agriculture Minister Juan Camilo Restrepo said today.
Fabricato SA, Colombia's bankrupt textile producer, more than doubled this year on prospects for a U.S. free-trade accord, a rally some analysts say is unwarranted as investors overestimate the potential benefit to earnings.
"Everyone is affected by prices but, on top of that, they have production issues and their exploration record year to date is not that special either."

Brands vie to stand out amid Super Bowl chatter
Monday - 2/3/2014, 8:00pm EST
AP Technology Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- If it's on TV, it's on Twitter, at least when it comes to blockbuster events such as the Super Bowl.
Advertisers, in particular, are ready to capitalize.
"What advertisers have realized is that Super Bowl advertising doesn't just take place on TV, with your 30-second or 60-second spot that you paid millions of dollars for," said Debra Aho Williamson, an analyst for research firm eMarketer. "You really need to have a broader presence."
Last year's Super Bowl was interrupted by a 34-minute power outage -- luckily, for one advertiser at least. Oreo seized on the opportunity and tweeted "you can still dunk in the dark." It was retweeted and mentioned on Facebook thousands of times.
Every brand wants to be this year's Oreo. Brands are setting up social media "war rooms" so they can respond to memorable events as they happen -- be it another blackout, a snow storm or a wardrobe malfunction -- with clever, retweetable quips.
Volkswagen has set up a studio in Los Angeles to create quick, catchy video responses, said Jennifer Clayton, media manager at the automaker. There will be about a dozen people in the room, from creative and production folks to community managers in charge of monitoring chatter on social media. Once a video is shot, it'll be sent to Volkswagen's lawyers for approval and, within 20 minutes, posted on Twitter.
"We are taking advantage of all the conversations going on out there and making it even more impactful," she said. "We're taking a 30- (or) 60-second spot and turning it into a campaign that's multiple days and multiple screens."
The game is a big day for Twitter, too. The company will have its own employees in the "war rooms" of some advertisers, helping them identify what people are tweeting about the most and helping them develop quick, clever reactions.
Beyond advertising, people will be conversing with fellow fans, using Twitter hashtags such as #Seahawks, #Hawks and #12s for the Seattle Seahawks and #Broncos, #Denver and #UnitedInDenver for the Denver Broncos. There will be #SB48 for the Super Bowl and #AdScrimmage to vote for your favorite Super Bowl ads. People have also created unofficial ones -- such as #PotBowl -- a reference to the fact that the teams hail from states that have legalized recreational marijuana.
Advertising, though, is where a lot of money is at stake.
For every Oreo, there are dozens, perhaps hundreds of tweets that fall flat, even if they were conjured in a room full of social media experts and marketers. During last Sunday's Grammys, "a lot of brands tried to do it but only one stood out," Williamson said.
That one was Arby's. Singer Pharrell Williams showed up at the awards show wearing an oversized, puffy brown fedora. It quickly got its own parody Twitter account (with more than 18,000 followers), not to mention all the Twitter mentions. The fast-food chain known for its big cowboy hat logo quickly tweeted "Hey @Pharrell, can we have our hat back? #GRAMMYs."
It went over well. Arby's tweet got more than 83,000 retweets and a response from Williams himself: "Y'all tryna start a roast beef?"
"Brands need to have the perfect storm of the right opportunity, the right message and most critically, a relationship between your brand and whatever it is that you are trying to connect about," analyst Williamson said. "If it's forced or if (it looks) planned, it's going to come across negatively."
Admitting that the right moment may never come up, some brands are taking a different approach.
M&M's marketers plan to use Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and the video-sharing app Vine to distribute short animated videos made from peanut M&M's. The clips will include commentary from the legendary retired quarterback Joe Montana.
Seth Klugherz, senior director for Mars Inc.'s M&M's brand, said in a statement that the brand is "not simply hoping to 'win the night' with a single post or tweet" but add to viewers' experience throughout the night.
Elsewhere in candy land, Butterfinger plans to riff off its brand name, which is slang for someone who tends to drop stuff -- such as a football.
"The idea of a Butterfinger moment, organically, the name of our brand will come up," Butterfinger brand manager Jeremy Vandervoet said. "We can't predict it but we're going to be ready to respond. We don't know how it will happen."
Even without a blackout, Sunday's game is likely to be the most tweeted, Facebooked and Instagrammed-about Super Bowl, simply because more people -- and brands -- are tweeting, Facebooking and Instagramming than a year ago. There were 2.8 million tweets about the 2011 Super Bowl. That grew to nearly 14 million in 2012 and more than 24 million in 2013.

I mentioned earlier that I really dislike the Alpinestar Tech 8's. The boots have an "inner booty" that annoys the snot out of me. After you wash the boots, that booty feels like it shrunk 2 sizes. Then cram your foot into a shrunken leather boot. Long story short, they've annoyed me almost from day one. I thought they'd provide more protection, but I'm honestly not finding that to be the case.
Keep my toes up? I try this best I can, and maybe I need to ride on the balls of my feet more? Tricky though with non stop rear brake work (and no, I won't be getting a left hand rear brake). I'm up for suggestions here on this one. In the meantime, I'll be waiting on my replacement radiator & getting myself prepared for the Shane Watts school.
Gearne SG10's
Had mine for over 2 years of doing 2 full seasons of british enduro's and rallies,and they are still holding up great, the first boot that you can actually move you ankle up and down in, really worth a look, they have a hinge system so you can move your foot but it doesnt reduce te protection.
Also this might sound stupid but try learning to ride by almost resting your big toes on the frame rails, I have size 13 feet aswell and this is the only solution I have found to not nabbing your toes through the rocky rooty stuff :)

After successfully managing the return of the 46 stranded Indian nurses from Tikrit in northern Iraq where the ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) Sunni militant group controlled the area, Indian government has now turned its attention to the Indians in the three important cities in southern Iraq – Najaf, Karbala, Basra – the first two scared Shia pilgrim towns.
Ministry of external affairs (MEA) spokesman Syed Akbaruddin told the media on Sunday that arrangements are now in place for the return of 2,200 Indians in the three southern Iraq cities. This was based on the response of the Indians there who expressed a desire to return to the mobile teams of six members each set up in the three cities. There is also mobile team in Baghdad as well apart from the assistance that is available in the Indian embassy there.
He said that about 600 people who needed assistance in terms of money for air passage has been arranged and 600 others made arrangement through their employers. An Air India flight from Najaf is bringing back 170, while two Iraq Airways flights from Baghdad, one of them going to Najaf to pick up the Indians, are bringing back 370 persons.
The government is arranging for the return of Indians through commercial flights where they are available – there are 10 commercial flights between Baghdad and Delhi every day – and special flights are being provided for those unable to find seats or flights.
The spokesman was cautious about the Indians who are still stranded in the conflict zone in the north, but asserted that even if one Indian remains it is one too many and the government would be working to get everyone back. He did not share any details about the 39 constructions workers who are learned to be struck in the conflict zone.
The expansion of the evacuation of Indians from southern Iraq seems to be based on the apprehension that the hostilities between the ISIS and the Iraq government could soon spread to these places as well. The ISIS is led by Sunni puritans who make no secret of their plans to destroy Shia shrines. The government has anticipated the possibility of Indians being struck in the conflict as it had happened in the north.
The MEA spokesman said individuals who have contractual obligations with their employers would have to sort it out themselves. The government can only help in terms of passage. In reponse to a query he said it is not within the purview of the ministry to deal with the implications of Iraq labour laws and the obligations of Indian workers under these laws.

The State—Crown Jewel of Human Social Organization »
By Robert Higgs | Wednesday April 3, 2013 at 7:42 AM PDT | 14 Comments
Since the earliest stage of human history (say, the time of Cain and Abel), human beings have been homicidal maniacs. Yet, for untold ages, something was missing, something with the capacity to raise their murderous mania to truly magnificent heights. Only very late in human history—perhaps 10,000 years ago or thereabouts—did the long-awaited breakthrough…

U.S., Afghan Security Pact Is Sweeping But Not Specific
While the headlines proclaim that thanks to a new draft agreement the U.S. will continue to defend Afghanistan for a decade after the planned 2014 withdrawal of foreign combat forces from that country, the stories themselves make clear that many of the key details remain to be worked out:
-- "In many respects the strategic partnership agreement is more symbolic than substantive. It does not lay out specific dollar amounts of aid or name programs that the Americans will support; the financing must be authorized and appropriated by Congress from year to year.
"Nor does it lay out specifically what the American military and security presence will be after 2014 or what role it will play. A more detailed security agreement is to come later, perhaps in the next year, Western diplomats said, once it becomes clear how much support European nations will give to the Afghan security forces."
-- "The document sidesteps some of the thorniest questions about the US military presence. ... Both sides agreed to set aside difficult questions about long-term US access to military bases and the status of any US forces that do stay on in Afghanistan. These issues will be negotiated in a separate deal some time before 2014."
-- "The agreement as read out by Spanta is broad, addressing a mutual commitment to the stability of Afghanistan and to human rights. It does not address specific troop levels or the size or location of bases, though it does say that the U.S. has no plans to keep permanent military bases in Afghanistan."

Now, everyone knows I love a cute little blonde twink. And Glen definitely fits that profile to a T. He's slim, blonde haired, blue-eyed with just a sprinkle of hair going down his young frame. Add to all that the fact that he's smart and fun to talk to, and you've got yourself a hot little boy. The perfect kind to get nice and dirty. Glen's only had sex-sex with two people total his entire life. His first experience was with a guy from high school, and his second with his current girlfriend (who doesn't seem to mind that he's willing to be plowed by guys on camera.) Definitely a cute little freshman. After chatting him up a bit and getting his clothes off, I asked him if he'd be willing to go a little further. Curious and willing to explore, Glen didn't object when I shoved my cock down the back of his throat. This novice didn't need much coaching when it comes to working over a cock. He sucked it with zeal until I couldn't help but paint his face with streams of white stripes. What a

Karnataka is contemplating taking legal action against Tamil Nadu for "deviating" from the original plan on the Hogenakkal drinking water project and on the issue of utilisation of water, State Water Resources Minister Basavaraj Bommai said on Monday.
"The very location of the project is itself in question. As against utilisation of 1.7 tmc feet of water envisaged in the original plan, now it has been increased to 2.4 tmc feet," he told reporters here.
He said Tamil Nadu had earlier stated that the project would provide drinking water to 30 lakh people, but had now revised it to 45 lakh, in "violation" of the original plan.
Moreover, Tamil Nadu was also transferring water from Cauvery basin to Pennar basin through this project, which is against inter-State river water disputes act, he alleged.
Mr. Bommai alleged that Tamil Nadu has defied the Centre's directive to stick to the original plan and had not evinced interest in holding parleys to sort out the contentious issues.
He recalled that Karnataka Chief Minister B. S. Yeddyurappa had indicated during unveiling of a statue of saint-poet Sarvajna in Chennai last year that Chief Secretaries of both States would meet for talks on the Hogenakkal issue. However, no such meeting had taken place so far, he said.
The minister said he would also meet the State's legal team to discuss various options.
Mr. Bommai, who will leave for Delhi tomorrow, said he would call on Union Water Resources Minister to seek his intervention to direct Tamil Nadu to adhere to the "original plan".

Clean Home Restoration, a Walla Walla business known for cleaning up after fire, flood and other disasters, has made a move to a new location.
The business has moved from 1392 Pine St. to 2811 Isaacs Ave., business officials announced.
The new space is larger and will allow for continued expansion of the operation founded several years ago by Matt Sweeney.
A staff of about nine people work for the business that provides 24-hour response and restoration work after disasters from fire to sewer damage and restore everything from textiles to furnishings to pre-loss condition.
The latest niche in the business is full-service for clothes and textiles, which essentially includes dry cleaning restoration.
Employees say the "soft contents" aspect of the business is an area of growth, in part, because it can drastically cut back insurance costs in the wake of a catastrophe. Additionally, Clean Home also has truck-mounted carpet cleaning equipment. Other services include carpet and blind cleaning and crime-scene cleanup. For more details, call 525-7400 or visit cleanhomeww.com .

Killer Queen is burning up the highway to hell-terrorizing a town, in her crimson-red stilettos, by holding random men at gunpoint. She had nothing, except a dad who abused her. and now she has nothing to lose.
"K-I-L-L FM 100" is the visual soundtrack of two opposing lives colliding head-on at a destined radio station.

When the lane narrows on this solitary stretch of highway, both captor and captive realize that something's got to give. Someone's got to go.

A full-throttle storyline, injected with one of the most unique twists ever unleashed, "K-I-L-L FM 100" is the thriller that reads like a soundtrack.
There's a time for everything under heaven. Killer Queen knows there's a time to kill.
