About 300 members of Association of University Teachers (AUT) staged a demonstration here on Monday demanding appropriate action by the State government on the DVAC enquiry report pertaining to faculty appointments in Bharathidasan University (BDU). The national secretary of All India Federation of University and College Teachers' Organisations P. Jayagandhi; former State president of AUT K. Pandiyan, M. Ravi Chandran, General Secretary, and other senior functionaries questioned the silence of the department of higher education and the Chancellor over the issue. In a press release, the Chairman of AUT University Coordination Council (UCC), Tiruchi and Thanjavur Zones, R. Samba Sivam, said there were "irregularities" in the appointment of faculties made in February 2011 in "serious violation of UGC norms and rules of the government". The AUT-UCC had already drawn their attention to the violation of norms in the appointment of 106 guest lecturers in the eight constituent colleges.

Top-ranked recipe named "Wild Mushroom Risotto"
A terrific, hearty warm dish. It's filling and rich, so serve it in modest portions and pair it with a light salad.
"Great dish and was very proud of my results. Personally I would suggest a little less salt -I used chicken stock cubes to make the stock which I think is quite salty anyway.
Although it look complex, the timings are pretty simple and obvious when more stock is needed.
This turned out better than some risotto I have had in restaurants (and I am a total beginner!!)"- RussellJim
In a covered stockpot, bring the stock to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer.
In a large saucepan on medium heat, cook 2 tablespoons of butter and the olive oil until sizzling, about 2 minutes. Add the onion, stir well and cook for two minutes. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, stir well and cook for 4 minutes. Raise the heat to medium-high, add the mushrooms, and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and cook for 3 minutes, stiring to prevent sticking. Add the wine and deglaze. Make sure you dislodge all the brown bits that might stick to the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the rice, salt and pepper and stir until all the wine has evaporated, about 2 minutes more.
Add 3 cups of the simmering stock and bring to a boil, stiring continuously for 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to a low simmer, cover the saucepan and let the rice cook 15 more minutes.
Stir the risotto. Raise the heat to medium and add 1/2 cup of simmering stock, stiring well until it is all incorporated. continue adding the simmering stock 1/2 cup at a time, and stiring well until all the risotto is cooked, about 5-8 minutes. Taste the rice with each addition of the stock it is perfectly cooked when tender to the bite. Don't worry if you haven't used all the stock.
Turn off the heat, optionally add cream and butter, the rest of the parsley, the cheese and 1/2 cup of remaining simmering stock. Mix well and let the risotto rest for 3 miutes. Serve on a plate or deep pasta bowls. Pair with a Pinot Grigio and a crisp Italian salad.

gusssk 2 years agoThis dish, coupled with the great recipe and ingredients, made me feel like a true chef. I only had portobello mushrooms. Didn't have heavy cream (which I recommend NOT adding. Once you put in the cheese it is plenty creamy
daveransom 2 years agoAwesome! I halved the recipe and substituted white button mushrooms instead of crimini. Needed more salt. Definitely add the cream and cheese (just not too much cheese!).
Mrsswill 3 years agoVery good. Didn't have cream, so used the same amount of milk. Had to halve the recipe since it was just for my husband and I. There was still a lot left. We'll definitely have it again. Thanks for the posting :)

A few days after Spain took to the world by storm and defeated the Dutch in a one-love war of attrition to become world champions, FIFA revealed an update in the world ranks.
No surprise that Spain tops the chart as the number one ranked nation in the world. The last they held that ranking was during last years Confederations Cup which they ended up losing in the semis to the Yankees, and thus, dropped from the charts.
Brazil gets demoted to the number three spot and as a result of their early exit, the Brazilian Federation canned Coach Dunga.
Uruguay, and rightfully so, got promoted from 16th in the world to sixth. Their front man Diego Forlan was awarded the Golden Ball for being the best over all player and Lius Suarez was bestowed the Golden Hand prize for his stop against Ghana (I just made that last part up).
France and Italy were demoted and personally, it wasn't enough. France now sits as the 21st ranked nation and the Italians only got penalized to the 11th spot. Really?! 11th! They should be far lower in the ranks.
The Red, White, and Blue sit in the 13th spot just below the Greeks.
The surprising turn of events were for the Mexicans. They got pushed back to the 24th spot. They weren't impressive in the World Cup, but they didn't play horribly enough to get pushed back... In my opinion, they were probably penalized for elderly abuse; namely, playing Cuauhtémoc Blanco. He's old ladies and gentleman, that's all I'm saying.
The award for the most improved nation that participated in the WC goes to New Zealand! The All Whites did not lose a single match in the WC, they also didn't win one either. As a result, they were shipped home after the bracket stage. However, FIFA promoted the island 24 places moving them to 54th, in the world.
Biggest Loser award goes to Cameroon. Everyone expected a lot from the "Indomitable" Lions, but their star player Samuel E'eto (must like Lionel Messi of Argentina) plays perfectly for his club, but is a major flop for his nation. Cameroon got penalized 21 places and now sits 40th in the ranks.

Actually, "Parallels" has been mentioned (ironically enough) multiple times. Each time, it's been ignored by those whose pet ideas about time travel don't include multiple universes.
As for changing ideas of how warp drive looks, we can start with the first pilot, with Jeffrey Hunter as Capt. Pike, where it was depicted as a sort of "stretching" in the vision of those on board, not unlike initial depictions of jump drive in the new
Battlestar Galactica
. The rest of TOS ignored the issue, other than those streaks that couldn't really have been stars; Gene's explanations included one variant where the ship actually entered a subspace realm where distances were much smaller, and the ship was effectively gigantic. (So, as you can see, nonsense technobabble isn't exactly original to TNG.)
The first movie gave us a circle of rainbow streaks; a similar sort of tunneling effect was used in TWOK, if I recall correctly (my copy went missing a few years back). I believe it was TNG that originated the idea of the visual effect being the ship stretching out, then snapping into a blue blaze with a loud "BOOM", like a New Gods Boom Tube. That became pretty much standard after that, because it looks cool; this game decided to accompany it with a pair of light-streaks, like your starship just peeled out (and, of course, the "temporary wormhole" effect of engaging transwarp).
So, as you can see, there have been a
of variations on what it looks like when you go to warp, and the one chosen for the most recent move (probably chosen by the director of principal photography, whose job that is, rather than the movie's director, whose job involves the actors) is in fact a bit of a callback to the very first episode. Incidentally, it was also the director of photography (whose name escapes me) who was responsible for all the lens flare; he said he wanted to emphasize how shiny and new the ship was. Hopefully, that means that in the next one the lens flare is toned down a lot, since the
now has a few trillion miles on her...

The confrontations between police and demonstrators at the Stonewall Inn in New York City the weekend of June 27-29, 1969 mark the beginning of the modern glbtq movement for equal rights.
Formed soon after the Stonewall Riots of 1969, the short-lived but influential Gay Liberation Front brought a new militancy to the movement that became known as gay liberation.
The sexual revolution of post-World War II America changed sexual and gender roles profoundly.
"Leather" is a blanket term for a large array of sexual preferences, identities, relationship structures, and social organizations loosely tied together by the thread of what is conventionally understood as sadomasochistic sex.
Although best known for her crusade for women's suffrage, Susan B. Anthony spoke out on a range of feminist issues.
With reports from hundreds of sub-Saharan African locales of male-male sexual relations and from about fifty of female-female sexual relations, it is clear that same-sex sexual relations existed in traditional African societies, though varying in forms and in the degree of public acceptance
Androgyny, a psychological blending of gender traits, has long been embraced by strong women, soft men, members of queer communities, and others who do not easily fit into traditionally defined gender categories.
A cultural crossroads between Asia and Europe, Russia has a long, rich, and often violent heritage of varied influences and stark confrontations in regard to its patterns of same-sex love.
When the Supreme Court on December 7, 2012 somewhat surprisingly announced that it would review the Proposition 8 case, now known as Hollingsworth v. Perry, it indicated that among the issues it would consider in the case is the question of standing, i.e., whether the proponents of Proposition 8 had the right to defend the Proposition after the Governor and Attorney General of California declined to do so. The question of standing is an issue that has haunted the case from the very beginning of the appellate process and it may preclude a broad-ranging decision from the Court.
In 2010, after Judge Vaughn Walker issued his historic decision declaring Proposition 8 unconstitutional, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals expedited review of the case and ordered that briefs address the question of whether the proponents of Proposition 8 had standing to appeal.
On December 6, 2010, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments in the case. On January 4, 2011, the panel issued a unanimous ruling to certify to the California Supreme Court the question of whether Proposition 8's proponents had standing to pursue the case. The question posed to the California Suprme Court was whether California law recognizes the right of the proponents of a ballot initiative to defend its constitutionality if state officials decline to do so.
The certification to the California Supreme Court delayed the ruling for some eight months. Finally, on November 7, 2011, the California Supreme Court decided that the proponents of voter-enacted legislation would have the right to defend such legislation in state courts in cases where the state declines to do so. Although this ruling by the California Supreme Court was not binding on the Ninth Circuit, or in federal court generally, the panel accepted the state court's recommendation on the question of standing and on February 7, 2012 ruled on a 2-1 vote that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional.
Many people thought that the question of standing had been settled. But the U.S. Supreme Court brought the issue back into relevance when it accepted review of Proposition 8 and specifically directed the parties to discuss the question of standing in their briefs.
The question of standing has a long history in federal courts. The Supreme Court has become increasingly concerned with the issue, perhaps as a way of limiting access to courts by parties who are actually impacted by a case as opposed to parties who simply have an ideological interest in the outcome of a case. The general rule is that for a party to have standing in an appellate court they must have more than simply a generalized interest in the enforcement of a law; instead, they must be able to demonstrate a particular and specific harm caused by the enforcement of a law. In the case of Proposition 8, the real question regarding standing is whether the proponents of the law would be harmed if the state of California married same-sex couples.
As Tom Goldstein at SCOTUSblog reports, in their filing the proponents of Proposition 8 unsurprisingly give a full-throated defense of their standing. However, in their response Theodore Olson and David Boies treat the question of standing somewhat perfunctorily, spending only seven paragraphs of their 63-page brief on it. "The brevity of the presentation on standing in the wake of a specific order from the Court is striking," Goldstein writes.
Olson and Boies are clearly more interested in the merits of the case and in crafting a sweeping and persuasive argument on behalf of a fundamental right to same-sex marriage than they are in the question of standing. The reason for this is obvious: they want the Court to issue a broad ruling on the merits rather than merely uphold the District Court's decision on the grounds that the proponents had no right to appeal.
Another respondent, the City and County of San Francisco, does devote more attention to the question of standing in their brief, arguing for ten pages that the proponents lack standing. The question of standing is also addressed seriously in the amicus brief filed by Attorney General Kamala Harris on behalf of the state of California.
But the fullest attack on the standing of the proponents comes in an amicus brief filed on behalf of Walter Dellinger.
Dellinger is the Douglas B. Maggs Professor of Law at Duke University and head of the appellate practice at O'Melveny & Myers in Washington, D.C. He also leads Harvard Law School's Supreme Court and Appellate Litigation Clinic. He served as an Assistant Attorney General and acting Solicitor General during the Clinton administration.
Dellinger's brief makes a powerful and persuasive case that the proponents of Proposition 8 lacked Article III standing to appeal from the district court's judgment holding Proposition 8 unconstitutional. The brief contends that the proponents "have only a generalized interest in the enforcement of that law, and the Court has repeatedly held that such an interest is not sufficient to establish a case or controversy under Article III. The Court should therefore vacate the court of appeals' judgment and remand with directions to dismiss the proponents' appeal."
Although most amicus briefs exercise little influence on the outcome of a case, Dellenger's brief may be an exception. It is highly focused, tightly reasoned, and well documented.
If the Court accepts the argument that the proponents of Proposition 8 lack standing, the District Court's ruling that Proposition 8 is unconstitutional will prevail and same-sex marriages will resume in California.
That will be a victory for same-sex couples in California, but it will be a limited one with no precedential value beyond California.
Insofar as such a ruling will enable the Supreme Court to evade the question of whether same-sex couples have a constitutional right to equal treatment under the law, it will be a bitter-sweet victory indeed.
The brief filed on behalf of Walter Dellinger on the question of standing in Hollingsworth v. Perry may be found here.
Briefs filed by Equality California and by the Columbia Law School Sexuality & Gender Law Clinic and the Society of American Law Teachers also argue that the proponents of Proposition 8 lack standing. Their briefs may be found on the website of the Office of the City Attorney of San Francisco, which has links to all 50 of the amici briefs filed in support of the challenge to the constitutionality of Proposition 8.
In the video below, Walter Dellinger discusses same-sex marriage with former Solicitor General Paul D. Clement, who is now defending the Defense of Marriage Act. Dellinger points to how the Fourteenth Amendment, with its equal protection and due process guarantees, fundamentally changed the country.

Former Chancellor criticises HS2 rail link
Live updates
HS2 scrutinised in Manchester
The House of Lords Economic Affairs Committee will be in Mancheester to discuss the high speed rail link. They'll hear evidence from Town Hall bossess over what potential benefits HS2 will bring to the region and what needs to be improved.
The evidence sessions are open to the public. Click herefor full details.
Chancellor backs £15bn transport investment
The Chancellor is in Manchester to set out his vision for a £15bn investment in the north of England.
The "One North" report makes the case for better connections across the north, including Manchester and Liverpool.
George Osborne says the government can commit to big transport improvements.
Chancellor to set out vision for a Northern Powerhouse
Chancellor George Osborne will today set out the government's vision for a northern economic powerhouse.
He will be in Manchester to hear proposals for a £15 billion plan to improve the future of the northern economy in Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, Newcastle and Sheffield over the next 15 years.
Mr Osborne is expected to say: "Today I give you this personal commitment. Work with me over the coming months and together we will make a reality of the plan I've set out for the Northern Powerhouse.
"I'm ready to commit new money, new infrastructure, new transport and new science. And real new civic power too."
- ITV Report
Chancellor sets out vision for 'Northern Powerhouse'
Northern cities could be offered "serious devolution of powers and budgets" in return for adopting elected mayors.Read the full story ›
Osborne: A closely linked North could 'take on world'
George Osborne will say a collection of northern cities linked closer together by new transport infrastructure could "take on the world" as he bids to end London's "unhealthy" economic dominance.
The Chancellor will say in a keynote speech in Manchester today:
We need an ambitious plan to make the cities and towns here in this northern belt radically more connected from east to west - to create the equivalent of travelling around a single global city.
As well as fixing the roads, that means considering a new high speed rail link.
Today I want us to start thinking about whether to build a new high-speed rail connection east-west from Manchester to Leeds.
London to Manchester in one hour on new rail link
New railway plans proposed by Chancellor George Osborne mean commuters could soon travel from London to Manchester in just one hour.
In a speech in Manchester today Mr Osborne will say 'we must do more to connect our northern cities.'
The proposed line would be based on the existing rail route between the two cities "but speeded up with new tunnels and infrastructure" to create "a third high speed railway for Britain".
He will also propose a high-speed rail connection east-west from Manchester to Leeds.
Chancellor sets out vision for 'Northern Powerhouse'
A new high-speed rail connection and improved roads between England's northern cities could help create an economic powerhouse to rival London, George Osborne will say today.
He will use a speech to say an upgraded, link between Manchester and Leeds should be considered as part of the review of the second phase of the project. The Chancellor will say he wants travelling through towns and cities in the north to be as easy as moving around a major global metropolis.
Under current plans the £50 billion HS2 high-speed rail project will link London to Birmingham in its first stage, before creating a Y-shaped network with lines to Manchester and Leeds by 2032/33.
We need an ambitious plan to make the cities and towns here in this northern belt radically more connected from east to west - to create the equivalent of travelling around a single global city.
As well as fixing the roads, that means considering a new high speed rail link. Today I want us to start thinking about whether to build a new high-speed rail connection east-west from Manchester to Leeds."
Nobody will believe the Tories can deliver the jobs, growth and investment we need for the north of England. Regional growth divides have widened markedly since 2010. The Tories scrapped Labour's successful regional development agencies, failed to implement Lord Heseltine's growth report and are planning to cut infrastructure investment next year.
On high-speed rail, we said months ago that we need value for money for the taxpayer and to improve the existing plans to maximise the benefits for the whole country and strengthen the links between northern cities. Ministers need finally to start listening."
Manchester shortlisted to become the home of the National College for High Speed Rail
Manchester is among four locations across the country to have been shortlisted to become the home of the National College for High Speed Rail.
The announcement came from Skills and Enterprise Minister Matthew Hancock.
The Government say the so called new College 'hub' and a number of 'spokes' based across the country will provide training to the next generation of engineers working on the HS2 project and beyond.
The areas shortlisted for further development are Birmingham, Derby, Doncaster and Manchester.
The quality of responses was very high overall with strong bids from many locations.
All bids were assessed against a range of criteria including the size and availability of a suitable site, accessibility, and the potential to develop strong links with employers and providers already operating in the sector.
Church of England joins HS2 battle
The Church of England has joined opponents of the Government's HS2 proposals, warning that current plans for constructing the line mean human remains will not be treated "in a decent and reverent manner".
The Archbishops' Council, which is led by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of York, says there must be changes to give greater protection to remains which have to be exhumed along the route.
In a petition to the House of Commons, the Council says that works authorised by the Bill will involve the destruction of three burial grounds consecrated for the burial of the dead in accordance with the rites of the Church of England and the removal of human remains and monuments from them.
They have complained that the link will cut through their estates,cause noise and damage areas of outstanding natural beauty. The link will speed up travel time between the north and south.
Manchester firms encouraged to make the most of HS2
The company behind the High Speed rail link is urging companies in Manchester to prepare for future business opportunities. HS2 limited are in the city today to speak to local firms and help them make the most out of the multi-billion pound project.
HS2 will bring huge benefits to Manchester in terms of creating jobs and redevelopment opportunities around the HS2 stations, making it an even more attractive place to work and do business.
It is vital that we understand and observe the market's current thoughts and opinions before developing our final procurement strategy for Phase One of the project, between London and the West Midlands.
We are keen to work with businesses from across the UK, and also those who are not traditionally involved in the rail sector, as they can bring best practice to ensure the delivery of HS2."
The development of HS2 heralds a wealth of opportunities that will not only benefit the region's economy but will also see major improvements to the existing transport network.
The development of new stations at Piccadilly and Manchester Airport will increase overall capacity across all modes of transport and in so doing enable better connectivity across the network.
HS2's economic forecasts suggest that up to 180,000 new jobs would be created in the region by the early 2040s so it's essential that Greater Manchester's transport network is ready to cater for the increased demand."

Dave Matthews talks music, life and guilt
At 45, the leader of the Dave Matthews Band is older, wiser, more thoughtful
As a teenager in his native South Africa during the brutal apartheid era, Matthews witnessed the dramatic divide separating blacks from whites, rich from poor, the privileged from the oppressed.
Growing up in the midst of such disparity and injustice made a profound impression on him. So does the precarious state of the world today, which he addresses on several songs on DMB's new album. One of them, the mid-tempo, brass-punctuated "Gaucho," features a refrain of "Please wake up" and such plaintive lines as: We gotta do much more than believe / If we wanna see the world change.
Asked about the song's inspiration, Matthews said: "I guess it comes out of a vein of sort of unavoidable sadness that I find in the tailspin of an arrogance a lot of people have, and the fear of what the result of that will be...
"So often, the magical parts of people that we most admire are the moments where we have a little humility, where we suddenly stand back, and think: 'What can make things better? How can we live in a balanced way?' The saddest part of the human race is we're obsessed with this idea of 'us and them,' which is really a no-win situation, whether it's racial, cultural, religious or political."
As a young man in 1991, when DMB was launched, Matthews looked at the world through youthful eyes. How has his approach to songwriting changed, now that he's an older and wiser family man?
"Maybe there's a little more experience and more of a craft to the process," he said. "I've never been much of a craftsman, in an educated way. But I think just the experience of writing makes the avenues I follow a little more efficient, in some ways. At the same time, when you're young, you're a little more fearless and there's less of an internal critic.
"Whether that's good or not, there's a feeling of immortality that comes with being 20 or 25. Sure, we're afraid of a lot of things at that age. But, whatever our obsession is when we're young, we have access (to emotions) without much analysis. Nowadays, I think I'm a little more critical of myself. (Now) when I'm writing and not judging the quality of what comes out, but the process, maybe I have to dig a little more to access the sort of vulnerability that youth is more wiiling to expose.
"As far as the band dynamic, we've lasted quite a while and not always easily survived some tumultuous relationships. At least, where we are now -- I don't assume it will stay this way always because we're older and wiser -- but I feel we have more of the callouses of experience... So, at least at the moment, it doesn't seem the band is as emotionally volatile as it was 15 years ago. And that's just managing to survive our egos and our oversensitive natures. We maybe have a little more wisdom about what matters, at least in out tiny universe, certainly not beyond the tops of the trees."

New Fire Damage Reports Shown on PropertyRecord.com Housing Backgrounds
If consumers are looking to buy a house it's important to find out if it has fire damage history or other dangerous damages with new fire reports from resource PropertyRecord.com.
New York, NY (PRWEB) January 19, 2013
Should a consumer be buying property that has in the past been damaged by fire, they need to take serious precautions because, despite the restorations that could have been carried out, it is possible that major faults were never fully addressed. The consequence is that they´ll be buying the property at a price higher than should actually be the case with a proper assessment. Moreover, such a purchase means that they might be taking on a property that will dent the wallet further with heavy repair and restoration bills.
Fire damage is most visible on the external structure of a property such as the walls, windows, roofs, ceilings and the perimeter walls. These get prominent attention during repair and restoration and it is easy to assume that all that a buyer needed to do has been done. However, there could be greater and more expensive repairs necessary inside the premises.
If the house has an attic, it could have been ruined permanently. Wooden floors and doors could have been ruined and the ceiling, though apparently intact, could have been stained irreparably. Other internal areas that require attention after a fire incident (and which are unlikely to get the attention they deserve) are the toilets, sinks, bathtubs and the basement.
Without professional help, it might not be easy for the potential property owner to truly assess the extent of the fire damage and the effect this should have on the price of the property. That is why home buyers need the professionally prepared new and comprehensive fire damage reports available at PropertyRecord.com. With these reports, anyone can know the exact extent of the fire damage and the kind of repairs necessary. By using these reports, home buyers will know what they are paying for thereby helping avoid unforeseeable repairs in the future.
