Indefinite curfew was clamped in Assam's hill district of Dima Hasao after at least ten people were injured in separate incidents of clashes between bandh enforcers and the police on Friday.
Official sources said the clashes took place at several places in the district, including the district headquarter town of Haflong, following a 48-hr bandh call by North Cachar Indigenous People's Forum and North Cachar Indigenous Womens forum which ended at 5pm on Friday.
The bandh was called to demand bifurcation of Dima Hasao district into two autonomous districts.
As a precautionary measure, indefinite curfew was clamped and the situation was now under control, sources said.
As the supporters gathered to enforce the bandh, police fired in the air to disperse them. In the melee, at least ten people were injured, sources said.
They have been admitted to Haflong civil hospital.

Cristobal Montoro, the Spain's finance minister has made a liquidity destroying proposal to tax short-term financial transactions at an astonishing 56% tax rate. Businesses are already upset over hikes in the VAT and have threatened to leave Spain.Interestingly, in spite of raising taxes elsewhere, the VAT was lowered on the highly subsidized renewable energy sector. Why? Here is the answer: "Secretary of State for Finance, Ricardo Martinez Rico, is the leading advisor in the industry".Prepare for Spanish ImplosionHere is the "as-is" Google translation of the El Econimista article Waiting for the Intervention. Emphasis in bold not added.
The Bundesbank is opposed to the purchase of deduda, the only thing that can save Spain and Italy. Autonomy, conflict, power and government crisis rumors complicate everything.The situation is out of control. The government approved last week the biggest adjustment of his story in hopes that it would serve to calm the markets. But it was not. The risk premium yesterday overcame the barrier of hundred basis points, something never seen, and the bond closed at 7.27 percent. The first question that arises is what should make efforts so painful as the increase in VAT or removal of the extra pay of officials if markets continue to punish us hard. It would be naive to think that just announced a big cut, things would begin to change. There are still many uncertainties that sow mistrust.The fine print of 65,000 million adjustment shows that there is more emphasis on income than expenditure. Tax revenues provide about 38,000 million, compared to 27,000 in less spending. This, coupled with the rise in income tax, makes Spain one of the countries with the highest direct and indirect tax burden on the planet Earth. Economists warn that this tax increase may cause a contraction in gross domestic product (GDP) higher than expected by the Government. Especially in 2013, in which the drop exceed 1 percent, twice the official estimate.Apart from the contradictions of the official figures of the adjustment and the controversy, was put in doubt the 22,000 million in revenue under VAT, only so far this year has accumulated a fall of 10 percent. The increase will boost the economy submerged and can neutralize the expected increase in revenue, defended himself as finance minister, Cristobal Montoro, as opposed to undertake this measure. The general impression is that more cuts are to be decided. Montoro himself fed this thesis to warn this week in Congress that state coffers are empty.The other settings should focus on the regions and aim to remove 427,000 employees created by them during the last ten years (see story on Monday in elEconomista). However, this week has been strong resistance from regional governments to make further cuts. The call of the President of the Generalitat, Artur Mas, a regional rebellion against the Government is a paradigm for stimulating this international distrust.Many people wonder, moreover, what moral authority left to the PP's general secretary, Maria Dolores de Cospedal, to convince the rest of communities governed by their party, when his government of Castilla-La Mancha is among reprimanded. No, of course.I do not think right now an investor in and outside our borders who believe in the autonomy will obey Montoro. The finance minister was guilty of naivete in advance at the beginning of the year 5.176 million for half of the estimated settlement funding system because it has stopped to tighten their belts. In addition, ICO 15,000 million in loans to cover the debt did not help anything.In the energy sector also confusion reigns. Vice President, Soraya Saenz de Santamaria, yesterday attributed the delay in reforms that several ministers were outside Spain, including Industry, José Manuel Soria. But the reality is that Soria travel left after slamming the door and refuse to accept the distribution of tax burden and renewable power on the table by Montoro. Some companies threatened to move the headquarters of their business outside Spain to avoid the very strong tax hike planned by the minister of finance.The reduced charge provided for solar energy, although it is one of the most subsidized, and the fact that former Secretary of State for Finance, Ricardo Martinez Rico, is the leading advisor in the industry, Abengoa, raises many critical and casts suspicion on the cleaning process. If autonomy is not yet speak openly of rebellion, in power so clearly.To add more uncertainty, Montoro announced his willingness to levy confiscatory rates close to 56 percent of the purchase or sale of short-term securities. An initiative incomprehensible allegedly coming from a government liberal or right, we like a capricious regime such as the populist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.To complete the clinical astonishing about our rulers, the rumors of clashes between the ministers of finance and economics, Luis de Guindos, or between it and the head of the Economic Office, Alvaro Nadal, have given way to a possible government crisis to designate a single responsible in economic affairs. The recent article by Foreign Minister, Jose Manuel Garcia-Margallo, El Pais, dedicated to solving economic problems rather than addressing the many international crises, pitted the bonfire of the vanities. Margallo with Josep Pique are the secrets to a hypothetical vice presidential candidates economy. It is true that in Europe caused a great embarrassment to the current division of responsibilities between the Treasury and between them and the Economic Bureau, which serves as a minister in the shade to chair the Executive Committee for Economic Affairs in the absence of Rajoy.The spark that triggered this Molotov cocktail on black economic forecasts and instability of the government team is highly liquid Treasuries. The data show that the mattress is exhausted debt issued earlier this year at affordable prices, so from now the Treasury must pay prohibitive prices, which make untenable the vote.The mere request of the autonomous community of Valencia to qualify for the liquidity fund announced by the Treasury market sparked fears and attacks on the risk premium. The alarm was given by the auction on Thursday, because it showed no there is a demand for government debt beyond the lyrics to one year. With banks in retreat, because they have run out of ammunition delivered earlier this year by the ECB, nobody can predict how they will renew the 28,000 million coming due next October.The German Parliament gave strong support for the bank bailout. But the statements by Bundesbank President Jens Weidmann, the end of last week, encouraging all to seek the intervention Rajoy, are a sign of strong opposition within the ECB to resume purchases of debt of Spain and Italy, all that could save us. It is also an indication that Germany is not aware of the risk to the single currency. Experts predict that if Spain is operated, the eye of the hurricane will move over Italy and eventually destroy the entire European project. The countdown to self-destruction of the euro is already underway. We'll see if we can stop it.

Cagayan, Big Chill shoot for semis slots
More News from Mark Giongco
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines – Cagayan Valley and Big Chill look to complete the final four cast Tuesday in the quarterfinal round of the PBA D-League Aspirants Cup.
But despite owning a twice-to-beat advantage, the Rising Suns and the Superchargers know they're in for a grind.
"We have an opportunity to get even but our focus is to get to the next level. Cebuana was really impressive in their past two games so we have to play defense for 40 minutes," said Cagayan head coach Alvin Pua, whose squad battles the Gems in the first game at the Arena in San Juan.
"If we can keep the game close and be consistent with our defensive effort I think we have a chance," added Pua.
Cebuana Lhuillier, which beat out Fruitas for the last playoffs spot, topped Cagayan 86-82 in the elimination round.
"They (Cagayan) are playing solid but right now we really don't care who we play. We're just happy to make the quarters despite all the troubles we've encountered in the elims. Who knows we might be lucky again," said Cebuana coach Beaujing Acot.
The Gems got a much-needed push when they signed James Martinez to provide firepower in their offense.
Also looking for more help, the Suns added point guard Julius Pasculado, a PBA draft pick by Alaska in 2011.
Fourth seed Big Chill on the other hand, barely escaped no. 5 Air21-JRU 77-76 on a buzzer-beater by Mark Canlas in their elimination round match.
"This game against JRU is gonna be tough so we are going all out to win and take out of our minds that we are in a twice-to-beat advantage situation," Big Chill coach Robert Sison said.
The Superchargers will be without their top scorer Terrence Romeo, who would be out at least six weeks due to a hairline fracture on his right hand, an injury he suffered during their loss to Informatics last January 17.
"It will be tough playing without Terrence (Romeo). Every player should step their game up in Terrence's absence," said Sison, who expects a physical match against JRU.
The Heavy Bombers have been on a roll as of late and head coach Vergel Meneses believes his team can pull off the upset.
"I'm pleased with our showing in our maiden stint in the D-League. The players have shown maturity the past couple of games and their confidence level is high. I have no doubts on their ability. I know they can compete against any team in this league. All we need is some consistency in our game," Meneses said.

Instant Analysis - Chick-fil-A Bowl
Virginia Tech 37 ... Tennessee 14
Yes, Virginia Tech winning ten games six seasons in a row is impressive
no matter how many ways you want to slice it. If it was so easy to do,
then why is it that only Texas shares such a run? However, and I picked
Tennessee and was obviously dead wrong, it's not time to start doing
back-flips over beating this Volunteer team.
I liked Tennessee because I thought the coaching staff was going to come
up with a plan for the Tech running game, the defense was going to play
up to the level that made it 18th in the nation in yards allowed, and I
thought the offensive line was going to hold its own against the
Virginia Tech defensive line, Instead, Tech was more creative, far more
physical, far sharper, and far more into the game when the momentum was
its way. Now it's time to for the Hokies to take another step up and
really and truly be back in the national title debate.
There aren't any SEC teams on next year's slate, Darren Evans is back to
join Ryan Williams to give the Hokies the nation's best 1-2 rushing
punch, and the schedule helps the cause with Central Michigan, James
Madison, East Carolina, and Boise State (played outside of Washington at
FedEx Field in a Tech home game). And after a stomping of an SEC team,
even one as devoid of deep talent as Tennessee, the hype should be
through the roof. Tech, it's time to deal with the expectations and live
up to them. The four road games are at Miami, North Carolina, Boston
College, and NC State, and Georgia Tech ahs to come to Blacksburg. One
loss will be acceptable, but anything less than an ACC title will be a
disappointment. After after the way the Hokies played against the Vols,
hopefully for those who want a decent Chick-fil-A Bowl, it'll be a BCS
season for Frank Beamer's club. Anything less, if the team can play at
this high a level, will be a major disappointment.
RB Ryan Williams was terrific in Virginia Tech's poignant 37-14 rout of Tennessee in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, but he was not the MVP of this game. No, that's an award that should be split into fifths and equally shared by five different Hokies.
Just a redshirt freshman, Williams has an amazing future in Blacksburg. That's beyond debate. On this night, however, he owes a debt of gratitude to his offensive line, which manhandled the big, bad Tennessee defense from start to finish. Inconsistency has been the calling card of this unit for years, but with a pivotal, prove-it game against an SEC opponent, it flexed its muscles and created all kinds of daylight for Williams to navigate. In fact, when the rookie sensation tweaked his ankle in the second half, backup Josh Oglesby had similar running room. Ditto David Wilson and QB Tyrod Taylor, who also chipped in on the 229-yard ground assault. Plus, Taylor was sacked just once, a stark contrast to Vol Jonathan Crompton, who ran for his life all evening, getting dumped behind the line six times.
Virginia Tech owned the line of scrimmage for 60 minutes, which explains why it also owns a nifty five-game winning streak heading into the offseason and an impressive sixth 10-win season in-a-row. So go ahead and hand the individual hardware to Williams if you must. It's certainly not a bad choice. Just be sure to save a nice word or two for Blake DeChristopher, Beau Warren, Jaymes Brooks, Sergio Render, and Ed Wang. Without their dominating play in the trenches against that tough Monte Kiffin D, tonight's red-letter victory might not have been possible.
Matt Zemek
1) Ryan Williams was a stud, Bud Foster outcoached Monte Kiffin, and Tennessee dropped a very big pass precisely when Virginia Tech's secondary imitated Idaho in the Humanitarian Bowl, but the most newsworthy development in the Peach Bowl (just can't give the corporate endorsement; they blew up the "John Hancock Bowl," after all, and returned to an original state of Sun-filled football nature…) is that Tyrod Taylor ended 2009 with a bang.
The junior is one of those players who has seemingly spent seven or eight years in college, but he'll be back for 2010, and after playing his most complete game of the season, he'll have a fresh supply of confidence in the future. Taylor ran decisively, threw crisply, and led boldly on Thursday night, and if this is the quarterback who will appear in Blacksburg next September, it's likely that the Hokies will retake the ACC from Georgia Tech.
2) Twelve straight seasons with at least eight wins. Six straight seasons with at least 10 wins (second to Texas, since USC went only 9-4 this year). Virginia Tech is still a king of high-quality consistency on the college football landscape. Yeah, the lack of an ACC title stung this year, but even if the Hokies hadn't suffered their one really bad loss – at home to North Carolina – they still wouldn't have gone to Tampa on Dec. 5 with a chance to defend their league title. Georgia Tech was simply better than BeamerBall in 2009, but guess who welcomes the Yellow Jackets back to Lane Stadium next fall? This is the clear ACC favorite in 2010, and if 10-3 is a down year, well, that speaks to the standards Frank Beamer and Bud Foster have established over the past few decades.

Cheetah Cub
Yawns, sits, and lies down.
Pit-pattering footsteps; vocalizations (periodic and on-click)
Can be found under large trees alongside Plainsland Cheetahs.
There are only two spawn points for this pet in Southern Barrens. They spawn under a large tree near Hunter's Hill in the very northern-most tip of Southern Barrens.
First battle happened to be a rare. How lucky!
These beauties are awesome battle pets too! Cats are very underrated and have an awesome self-heal, and it's better than another favorite pet, Chrominius, who only heals for 249. Cats heal for about 444 if you time Devour to kill the mob. I start with Rake, then Claw if the pet isn't low enough to kill with Devour, which hits twice. I frequently find my cat at 100% health at the end of the fight because of its strong heal. (My various cats are S/S)
It took me an hour to find a rare S/S one. Really good in soloing ^^
battled with every claw I've met but still can't find a rear - -!
Cleaning up someone elses skinning and came across an Uncommon in Thorn Hill at 62 - 56. 11:00P server time
Found under a tree at 49.23, 70.03. Just stumbled across it as I was leveling some other low pets. Rare on the first drop at ~ 11:00pm realm time.
Was leaving from Ratchet to gather Kor'Kron supplies for Little Gaz and spotted this little guy with its mother under the first tree to the right of the path heading West out of the town, (sorry no coordinates). On a whim I decided to battle quick and it turned out to be a rare! Time was about 11 pm.
I found my rare easily as well! Northern Barrens 43.04 55.19, under a tree. :D
I found my rare easily at 1:20am server time, under a tree in Northern Barrens, at 53.8, 65.3.
Happy Hunting =)
Thanks a lot for the tip about a rare at 41,18 in Southern Barrens! Can confirm that it works, found a rare one there. =)
Found this little beauty SE of Crossroads on my way to Ratchet around 1:00am (too excited to remember to write down exact time/location-sorry) under a tree with a whole pride of lions! They must have adopted her because I could not find her mother anywhere. First rare pet I found and didn't even know battle pets had ratings other than poor until her. Beacause of this little cub I found WarcraftPets.com in order to figure out what rare means in pet lingo. I owe her so much.
Read on another message board that they spawn under trees with "their mother." This helped a lot in finding them. I found about 6-7 poors before I found a rare. Found it south of the Staganat Oasis just south of the building shown on the map. (on Hellscream at about 12:20 AM)
Just got him at 35,57. Uncommon
YAY!! Got a rare :-D 3:24am (41,18) Bloodscalp
Found my rare lvl 10 at Southern Barrens, under a big tree right next to the Great Divide (41,17).
found this lil guy behide a tree with its mommy and i was very lucky i got it striaght after i got the youge harpling it was like right next to that area =]
I spotted this cub on the minimap using the flightpath from orgrimmar to thunder bluff, so i immediately returned to catch it. It was my first pet catch, and it was a rare!
I followed many of the tips here and finally got my rare. The key is to kill the Plainsland Cheetahs that spawn under the trees who don't have cubs with them. The new ones that spawn will most likely have cubs, and continue to have cubs at approx 5 min intervals. I marked the ones that did with world markers so I wouldn't kill them. It took me about an hour to get a rare, but there were PLENTY of uncommons.
Found 3 of them at 48, 69
They are all around the zone and they are usually 100% of the time with an adult and under a tree (big yellowish trees), never did I ever find one out in the open or by itself.
I found a few north of the zone, but most of them was south half of the zone on both sides, if you need to spawn some you really need to KILL the adult and they can spawn back with the pet. I found plenty of uncommon but no rares, so good luck on you hunt!

The Journal Sentinel sports staff brings Milwaukee Bucks fans the latest news, notes and analysis
Bogut out; Ilyasova to try despite flu
Bucks coach Scott Skiles confirmed in his pre-game remarks that center Andrew Bogut would miss Friday night's game against Miami due to a mid-back strain.
Bogut was not at the Bradley Center and was getting treatment elsewhere, Skiles said.
Forward Ersan Ilyasova was receiving intravenous fluids prior to the game and would try to play, the coach indicated, despite a case of the flu.
"He's going to try; he doesn't look too good in there," Skiles said of Ilyasova. "He's had an IV. He'll go out and warm up, see how he looks, how he feels."
Veteran Kurt Thomas will start in Bogut's place and faces a difficult challenge in Heat center Jermaine O'Neal. The 6-foot-11, 255-pound O'Neal had 24 points in 25 minutes in Miami's 103-74 rout of the Chicago Bulls on Thursday night.
"You've got to try to get Jermaine off the box area," Skiles said. "He'll face up; he wants to drive left. We've got to try to get on his left hand. We've got to try to get him to the middle a little bit, to his right hand, get down there with some help.
"Kurt generally does a nice job of getting guys off the box and areas where they're not as comfortable."
Skiles said Thomas would not likely play more than 30 minutes. Dan Gadzuric and Primoz Brezec both were activated for the game.
Skiles repeated that he did not consider Bogut's injury to be a serious one. The Bucks center missed 43 games last season, including the final 31, due to a lower back stress fracture.
"This doesn't have anything to do with what happened last year," Skiles said. "This is in his upper mid-back. It's just a strain. I can't imagine it being very long. It's more or less just back spasms. Normally those things don't last very long. I would hope he'll play on Sunday."
The Heat was primed for the encounter with the Bucks, coming off their lopsided victory in Chicago. And Miami coach Erik Spoelstra did not let his team forget how they were embarrassed by the Bucks in three earlier games this season.
"They've bludgeoned us in the paint and on the glass, more than anything it's been those effort and toughness areas," Spoelstra said. "Tonight it's got to be different, different for one night.
"And we're capable of it. You have to give Milwaukee credit. Regardless of who has been on the court for us or not, they've handled us in really a dominating fashion."
Heat all-star guard Dwyane Wade was held down in the first two games of the series, but he did not play the last time the teams met, in a 94-71 victory by the Bucks in Miami on Feb. 27.
The Heat (38-34) trails the Bucks (39-31) by two games in the race for the fifth playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
"We know what it's about; Milwaukee knows what it's about," Spoelstra said. "We watched film. We talked about the last three games, but we're moving on from what they've done against us.
"One night it's a different mentality to change the outcome."

EYEMAGINE Transforms 99 Ranch's Website Into A Customer-Friendly Information Channel
Redesigned website and custom-built functionality gives users greater access to local store specials, promotions, and blogging community
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) January 15, 2013
EYEMAGINE, a premiere interactive agency, has announced the launch of a newly redesigned 99Ranch.com, the official website of the Asian American grocery chain 99 Ranch Market. The new website offers users information unique to their local store, including shopping specials, new products, recipe ideas, and events.
To satisfy 99 Ranch´s requirements of building an online destination that keeps existing and new customers aware of promotions from the grocery chain, EYEMAGINE adorned the new website with a fresh design and streamlined navigation.

The site also features English and Chinese text, designed to emphasize 99 Ranch´s cross-cultural appeal and reach out to 99 Ranch´s target audience.
"We are thrilled to provide 99 Ranch an opportunity to connect with their audience online and broaden their relationship with existing customers," says EYEMAGINE CTO/Founder, Andy Etemadi. "The same unique cultural shopping experience that makes 99 Ranch so popular with its customers offline can now be translated into a vibrant community online, encouraging brand loyalty and a modern social media experience."

25.01.06 - Inteerview by Per Ake Persson: EBU heavy champ Paolo Vidoz defends the title January 28 against Cengiz Koc in Berlin. I caught the champ at home in Gorizia just before he departed for Germany.
Q: You are fighting Cengiz Koc Jan 28, how do you see the fight?
A: I beat him the amateurs but the pros is a totally different game and I expect a very tough fight..
Q: How´s your training been going?
A: It´s been the usual disaster (laughs). I have my own gym in my home. My friend and trainer Sumbu Kalambay have been with for the last two weeks. It´s been a normal training camp and I´m in good shape.
Q: You have changed promoter right in the middle of all the training?
A: It´s been very tiresome and problematic. For the last two or three months I have been to my lawyer´s office just about every day. I have however been advised by my lawyer not to comment on the matter to media.
Q: According to well spread rumors you don´t overdo it in the gym, some even say you are a bit lazy, what´s your comment to this?
A: If I win this fight the miracle is completed (laughs)! It´s difficult to prepare well in Italy, for instance sparring, I have one pro and one amateur to work out with. There are no other sparring available. They are doing a documentary about me now. I´m probably the only champ to train in my home.
Q: I understand you went to Afghanistan late last year as part of a help project, how did that come about?
A: In 1998 I participated in an amateur tournament in Pakistan. There was a guy there from Afghanistan who wasn´t allowed to participate due to his big beard. Now seven years later I had the chance to bring some boxing equipment , gloves, shoes, headgears, etc, and I gave it to help set up a national team there. I want to fight in Kabul. I would like to do the rematch with Valuev at the national stadium there (laughs)! It was a good experience to go there and to be able to help some people.
Q: Where you a late starter or did you stay in the amateurs for a very long time?
A: Let me see, I think I began boxing in 1987 or so. My dream was always to win Olympic Gold but I had to settle for the bronze in 2000. I also participated in the 96 Olympics
Q: You have ex-World middle champ Sumbo Kalamabay as trainer, what does he mean to you?
A: He is very important and he is also my good friend. He and my wife are the most important people for me. My wife is also my manager.
Q: You first turned pro with Lou Di Bella in the US but then returned home, what happend?
A: The agreement was that if I lost a fight the contract could be terminated. I had a bad night, lost a fight and the contract was terminated. Now I´m back in Gorizia, you know this is the region where Primo Carnera came from. I´m now doing work for the Primo Carnera Foundation with Primo´s son and work with underprivileged children. I have one dream left and this is to win the World heavyweight title.
Q: That brings us to Nikolai Valuev I guess, you lost to him the first time, what happend?
A: Valuev? I took the fight on 16 days notice, I was supposed to fight Steffen Nielsen, the Dane, but that fight was cancelled on very short notice when he fell ill, my management at the time then got me Valuev. I broke my jaw in the third round and had problems with my hands. After the fight I had a four hour operation and they fixed my jaw with two titanium plates and that´s how I got my new nickname, "Titanium Jaw".
Q: Let´s say you beat Koc, what will be the next step in your career?
A: I will try to take the EBU title as long way as is possible but first I must beat Koc and I have a very hard fight ahead of me. I know that the official challenger is Luan Krasniqi but that keeps changing.
Q: You are closing in on 36, what about life after boxing?
A: I got xxx for fighting Valuev and xxx for the Hoffmann fight. What can I say, at this rate I will have to keep fighting until I´m 65 (laughs) in order to be able to pay my bills.
(note: Paolo mentioned some numbers here but I decided to leave them out)

Robotic strawberry pickers could be on the way
By Ben Coxworth
October 20, 2011
Now that we're moving towards automated orange-sorting and autonomous tractors, what might be the next step in replacing human agricultural workers with machines? Well, how about robotic strawberry pickers? That's what scientists from the UK's National Physical Laboratory (NPL) say could be on the way, thanks to a system that is able to identify ripe strawberries in the field.
Work first began on the system in 2009, at which time is was being developed for use with cauliflowers. Although it was reportedly successful, a drop-off in demand for the vegetables caused the project to stall. It has since been revived, for use with other crops. Strawberries are particularly well-suited to the technology, as their high water content and dry leaves make them easier for the system to image, and the time-consuming process of picking them by hand could be greatly reduced through automation.
The system is able to non-invasively "see" beneath the surface of strawberries using four parts of the electromagnetic spectrum, namely radio frequencies, microwaves, terahertz radiation and far-infrared light. Both the hardware and software involved are reportedly able to detect which berries are ripe enough for picking, and are able to do so for a relatively low cost.
Although robotic strawberry-picking machines would undoubtedly put some field workers out of a job, the NPL scientists say that they would also boost efficiency and reduce waste, as under-ripe berries wouldn't be picked and then discarded. The technology could possibly also be used for sorting municipal waste.
This could allow strawberries to be grown in places where people wouldn\'t be able to pick. They could grow in places where animals would not have easy access. This could increase production.Carlos Grados
Another case of technology making humans obsolete. Technology gives one man the ability of a thousand, and then it burdens the Earth with the thousand people it just made redundant.Nelson
Great Nelson, Lets all go back to making our own food, making our own tools, making our own houses. You could lead the way! Get rid of your car and build your own from scratch! You could make the frame from iron ore. Make the the tires yourself. Make the fuel yourself. Make the alternator; engine; fuel pump; fuel tank; suspension; seats; dashboard; fuel injection system; break system; and the other thousand associated parts! Then you would have a job and you would not be a burden on the earth!PrometheusGoneWild.com
Dennis: the reductio ad absurdum can be done in the other way: lets give all the jobs to automated sistems, until there's no job for any human. I live in a third world country. I agree that technology cant be stopped, but why can't it take also the direction of a human-labor activity?LuchinG

If I could invite any celebrity to our wedding, who would it be and why? Well, that's easy! Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne. As celebrities (and their marriages) go, these two people have withstood the test of time. They are the epitome of love and seeing their vows through to the very end…and their end isn't even close to coming yet.
Ozzy and Sharon married in 1982, and just celebrated their 32nd anniversary…this is just 2 years shy of how old I am - so these people have been married nearly my entire life and are still madly in love and going strong! Almost non-existent in a world where celebrities are mostly known for very short-lived marriages, the lifestyle, opportunities and temptations they are being exposed to daily almost always ends what seems to be a 'perfectly happy marriage'. Not to mention they are in the public eye constantly, so it's more predominantly known that "celebrities have very short marriages," and everyday people will use those failings for jokes (like, "I waited for that package to arrive longer than Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries's marriage lasted!"), and everyone understands what they mean.
They've overcome everything from drug and alcohol abuse, domestic violence, infidelity, a plane crash, and even cancer. This couple has seen, and done, it all. I'm not advocating violence or adultery in any means, but if these people can work through the lowest of lows, nothing can tear them apart.
Who else would you want to be at your wedding ~ the day that you and your significant other celebrate, in front of your closest of friends and family, to show your love for one another ~ than two people who have really showed it ALL, to the world!
Congratulations Kristie and Gregory, we can't wait to host your event!

Hello K,
there are two factors in answering your question.
The first is how you are caring for yourself during the healing. If you are skimping on sleep and eating fast food, while drinking sugary, caffeinated beverages, those things do not at all help the body to heal. In fact they make recovery time longer! So that segment of answer depends on you.
The second factor is how sound you wish to be when returning to the sport. Having just spent time in a cast I personally feel a few additional weeks of rest are worth it in the long term to make sure you're never in a cast again. It is, to ay the least, very inconvenient. You can eagerly rush back to participation and you may be fine. But one must consider how one might feel back in a cast due to their careless, rushed return to a very strenuous activity.

Sandy's wrath stirs painful Katrina memories
Sunday - 11/11/2012, 2:42pm EST
By STACEY PLAISANCE
Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - The chaos wrought by Superstorm Sandy, the homes tossed from foundations and landmarks buried beneath seawater, delivered a gut-wrenching dose of deja vu for survivors of Hurricane Katrina like Joe and Gloria Robert.
Their own home flooded beneath 7 feet of salty water when the levees broke after Katrina struck the Gulf Coast in August 2005, and they know all too well what their countrymen to the north will face: years of debris removal, cleanup, rebuilding, haggling with insurance companies, paying mortgages on homes left unlivable. And they knew they had to help.
"When you watch things like this, you relive all the memories, all the heartache," said Joe Robert, his voice cracking with emotion. He said the images of Sandy victims rummaging through what could be salvaged of their toppled and flood-ravaged homes were painful reminders of his own loss. "I don't have any pictures of my daughter when she was little."
Seven years after Katrina destroyed neighborhoods, killed more than 1,800 people and caused some $108 billion in damage, many of the people caught in its crosshairs are reaching into their wallets and cupboards to try to bring relief to the Atlantic Coast.
Church groups, nonprofits, City Hall and individuals in New Orleans and along the Mississippi Gulf Coast have begun sending care packages, donating money and staging volunteers for the clean-up and recovery efforts.
Robert is working with the Episcopal organization that helped him rebuild his home, St. Paul's Homecoming Center, which was established after Katrina to help residents as they returned to the city to rebuild. The center has expanded its mission to include victims of not just Hurricane Isaac, which struck Louisiana in August, but also East Coast victims of Sandy.
The group has launched an "Adopt-a-Family" program where donations can be made to families in either region to help them as the holiday season approaches. The organization is also coordinating volunteer efforts along the East Coast. They are collecting donations and helping to ferry volunteers from the Gulf Coast to devastated neighborhoods in New York and New Jersey.
"I hurt for them because they don't know what they're in for with recovery," said Connie Uddo, executive director of the Homecoming Center whose New Orleans home flooded in 2005. "The event is one thing, but the recovery is another. It's long, and it's hard."
In New Orleans, the recovery is far from over more than seven years later. Many homes still bear the water lines and spray-painted marks left by rescuers searching for survivors. Some residents have run out of money, given up after years of battling contractor fraud and insurance companies.
Even if the recovery goes smoother on the Atlantic Coast than it did in New Orleans, it will take years.
"First you have to get over the emotional loss," Robert said. "If I could give any advice, it's not to be anxious. Looking back, the mistakes we made were because we rushed some things because we were anxious and emotional and trying to get back in our home quicker."
Robert said he rushed to hire a contractor because he was in a hurry to rebuild, but he ultimately lost time and money when the contractor didn't see the project through to completion.
Taking a lead in organizing relief efforts for victims of Sandy are New Orleans musicians, many of whom have ties to the entertainment industry in New York. It's a place that many travel to for gigs, and they feel an affinity for the city that never sleeps.
A "NOLA Pay It Forward" benefit concert of New Orleans musicians is being organized by Mayor Mitch Landrieu. Proceeds from the Nov. 20 event will go to nonprofits supporting Sandy relief efforts.
Ivan Neville and others donated proceeds from a recent New York concert to benefit Sandy victims while big band singer Johnny Angel _ a Staten Island native who has lived in New Orleans since the 1990s _ is taking a U-Haul truck of donated bleach, mops, rakes, buckets and cleaning supplies from New Orleans to New York.
"Before we can rebuild, we have to clean up," said Jeannie Tralongo, who lives in the hard-hit New York borough of Staten Island and is working with Angel to help coordinate the delivery. `We're overwhelmed."
Tralongo said she's one of the lucky ones. Her Staten Island home was spared of the tidal surge and flooding that decimated the homes of nearby friends and neighbors.
