They have been asked to appear again on May 17
`The duo claimed they were innocent and gave prevaricating replies to most questions'`Investigation is being conducted covering various aspects of the case'
NEW DELHI: Two of the four Members of Parliament who were served fresh notices by the Delhi police to join investigations into the human trafficking racket allegedly involving Bharatiya Janata Party MP Babu Bhai Katara presented themselves before the investigating agency . The two Bahujan Samaj Party MPs have been asked to appear again on May 17.
Mitrasen Yadav from Faizabad arrived at the R.K. Puram office of the Crime Branch, while Ashok Kumar Rawat from Misrikh joined later. Both were accompanied by their lawyers, who were, however, not present at the time of their questioning.
It is learnt that the two MPs were confronted with certain documents, including copies of their visa forms and passport details, gathered by the police. Though senior police officers remained tight-lipped about what transpired during the questioning, according to sources, the duo claimed they were innocent and gave prevaricating replies to most questions. While Mr. Yadav was questioned for about two hours, Mr. Rawat was quizzed for about an hour and a half.
Police Commissioner K.K. Paul said: "Investigation is being conducted covering various aspects of the case. There are certain gaps that need to be plugged." Stating that at this stage it would be a hasty decision to conclude about the complicity of the MPs, Dr. Paul said they had been asked to join the investigations to explain some of the doubts that emerged while gathering documentary evidence in the case.
The other two MPs, Ramswaroop Koli from Bayana in Rajasthan and Mohammed Tahir Khan from Sultanpur in Uttar Pradesh, did not turn up on Monday. The police will again serve them fresh notices to join the investigations. The four MPs were earlier served notices on April 23 seeking their cooperation in the investigations.

Sometimes the normal fat cells in the breast become round, firm lumps
made up of damaged fatty tissue. This is called fat necrosis of the breast. The
lumps may or may not be painful. This problem is most often seen in obese women
who have very large breasts or after an injury to a breast.
Fat necrosis can be caused by an injury or blow to the breast.
Sometimes the skin around this lump looks red or bruised. Fat necrosis is
sometimes seen following a motor vehicle accident in which the seat belt has
forcefully squeezed the breast.

Estonian national energy strategy.
Energy plays an important role in lives of all of us. Therefore there are very high requirements established for energy supply. Execution of these requirements requires the development of the energy sector in time and to a needed extent. The development of energy sector is a very long-term and expensive process. For that reason the choice of optimal development strategy is very important.
The first energy strategy plan for Estonia was compiled in 1938. The basic ideas at that time were the following:
1) To form the interconnected electrical network in Estonia. Small local power plants have to be built only to the islands or areas, where the construction of high voltage network is not profitable.
2) To optimize the load distribution between power plants.
3) The great power plants must be interconnected by transmission lines.
4) The distribution network must interconnect all towns and all industrial and main agricultural centres.
5) The price of electricity in power system must be lower than in isolated power plants.
For the realization of that plan in 1939 the "Electricity Centre" was created, but the actual life took a different turn. After the Second World War Estonia remained the member of the USSR until 1991. During that period the Estonian energy sector was developed as a part of the power system of the USSR. Four oil shale power plants (Kohtla-Jarve, Ahtme, Balti and Eesti PP) and one oil-fired power plant (Iru PP) were built. Estonian Energy System was connected with power systems of St. Petersburg, Pskov and Latvia. Estonian oil shale power plants were exploited very intensively. Since 2006 the Estonian power system is also interconnected with the Finnish power system. The main energy enterprise in Estonia is "Eesti Energia".
National energy strategy programs
The planning of national energy strategy for re-independent Estonia started in 1988. From 1988 to 2007 several energy development programs have been compiled for Estonia.
1. Estonian Energy Development Plan (until 2005). Working group "kW". 1990.
The first energy strategy plan for re-independent Estonia was compiled by a voluntary working group. The plan proceeded from the prognosis of energy demand and forecast of the technical progress in the entire energy sector. This report prioritized energy strategy goals and role of the state in achieving them. The main long-term targets for energy development were the following:
1) decreasing and cleaning of emissions of oil shale power plants,
2) energy saving, 3) decreasing of electricity export, 4) optimization of power system operation, 5) interconnecting of the power systems of Finland and Estonia.
2. Energy Development Plan for Estonia (until 2030), Estonian Academy of Sciences and Estonian National Planning Committee, 1992.
It was the first state energy development plan. The plan also treated the problems of new technology of combustion, restructuring of energy sector and research and development objectives.
3. Energy saving Program, Ministry of Building, 1992.
The main goals of the program were: 1) decreasing the import of fuels up to 50% compared to 1991, 2) to start using market base prices in the fuel and energy sector, 3) to promote energy saving.
4. Research and Development Program ("Energy 2000"), Estonian Energy Institute, 1995.
The main topics of scientific and innovative research work that have to be financed in Estonia were formulated. A Foundation of Energy Research to finance this program was recommended to be created.
5. National Fuel and Energy Sector Development Plan. The Parliament of Estonia, 1998.
The priority goals were: 1) quality and stability of energy supply, 2) independence of energy sector, security reserves, 3) energy saving, 4) execution of environmental requirements.
6. National Fuel and Energy Sector Development Plan until 2015 (2030). The Parliament of Estonia, 2004.
The main decisions: 1) the state will create conditions for continuous development of fuel and energy sector, 2) the presence of local electricity production capacities for covering annual load curve will be guaranteed permanently, 3) liberalization of the energy market and development of the free market will continue, 4) the new taxation system of environment and energy will be introduced, 5) the renovation of Narva Power Plants will continue, 6) the share of peat, wood and wind in the primary energy balance sheet will increase, etc.
7. Electricity Industry program, Government of Estonia, 2005 The program specifies the plan of electric generation capacity until 2015. The main attention is paid to the renovation of condensing power plants, to the use of gas turbines and alternative energy resources.
The first Energy Act was passed in 1997. In 2003 this act was transformed into the Electricity Market Act. Estonia decided to join the European Union in 1995 and joined the EU in 2004.
Fuel Committee was founded in 1988 and the State Energy Office in 1990. The office started to operate in 1991.
In 1998, the Estonian Energy Market Inspectorate and the Estonian Technical Inspectorate were founded.
Goals of state energy strategy
The main goals of state energy strategy are as follows:
1. To guarantee continuous energy supply with suitable prices
2. To guarantee the development of energy technology
3. To guarantee the reliability and security of energy systems [1]
4. To guarantee the quality of energy [2]
5. To guarantee the increasing of energy consumption efficiency and to promote energy saving
6. To develop free competition and energy markets [3]
7. To foster the use of alternatives energy resources
8. To discharge the environmental requirements
9. To develop cooperation between power systems interconnected with the national power system [4]
10. To develop education and research in the field of energy.
For achieving these goals the state uses legislation, long-term development plans, energy policy and owner's rights. The role of the state is very important in a small state such as Estonia.
A small state has an advantage of being flexible, ready for fast changes. The government of each state, especially of a small one, must create conditions for the growth of the GNP, a beneficial environment for business activities and good living conditions. The infrastructure, especially the fuel and energy sector, is the basis for the development of production and business activities as a whole. During its long history Estonia has made good use of this advantage and developed its potential. In long-term planning of power systems and the whole energy policy the state has to play a determining role, forecasting the economic development and environmental changes as a whole. Considering the needs and possibilities of the society it is necessary to deal with long-term development planning (30-40 years) of the fuel and energy sector. The long-term (30-40 years) energy development plans must also include the following items [1]:
1. Regulation--control over the enterprises that have a dominant position. For this purpose the state has regulatory and control mechanisms. The market regulator has the central position and it is more complicated for the state to perform its role [2]
2. Innovation--support mechanisms for new ideas, research and development, technology transfer [3]
3. Energy efficiency--sustainable development and utilization in energy production, transmission and consumption
The implementation mechanism of the state for these parts works through legislation.
Main directions of development of fuel and energy sector in Estonia:
1. To continue the development of oil shale power plants on the fluidized bed combustion (FBC) technology
2. To develop mining technology
3. To take into use the gas turbines for covering peak loads and emergency reserves
4. To foster the building of news cogeneration power plants and the use of alternative energy resources
5. To develop energy networks
6. To develop education and scientific research in the area of fuel and energy sector
7. To improve the cooperation between Baltic and Nordic states in the area of fuels and energy [5]
8. To work out a national security plan for the entire fuel and energy industry
9. To re-establish the State Energy Office.
1. National energy strategy and executing this into practice are very important problems requiring complementary research work.
2. Development of energy sector depends on the above-mentioned strategy and a large number of other factors such as:
* Economical development
* Reforms in energy sector
* Development of new technologies
* Development of the regional and international energy markets
* Environmental requirements etc.

Assessing long-term effects of capacity building – a new challenge01 June 2015 – UNESCO has embarked on the establishment of a follow-up and evaluation mechanism for activities carried out under the Convention's global capacity-building programme. The programme is part of global and national efforts to attain long-term development goals benefitting more than 65 countries to date. While it is considered by many the most important mechanism of the Convention, little is known about its long term effects at country level. How do the participants of training workshops use the knowledge acquired? How do countries build on the policy support provided?

Owe yea I can dance and love the connection that kissing and holding hands brings. My Partner: Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do long after the mood you said it in has left you...very important. She must understand that I have a 14yr old still at home that needs me from time to time. I know she would find that he is one of the most polite and respectful young men should would ever meet. My friends are always trying to adopt him. She does not have to be a good cook as I'm sure I can handle most things in the kitchen, even baking. That's right..this guy can bake. I take care of my body so its important that my partner do the same, hell I even get a pedicure once a month. Gotta take care of your feet you only get one pair and they have to last you a lifetime. I have an organization that helps girls get scholarships for college thru softball and I'm proud to say that all of my seniors have been signed these past few years...If you want to know more please ask me. Bye for now! If you want to know what my intentions are in life with my partner Billy Currington can tell you in the song Here I Am. Have a listen!

Hyderabad: Even as public sector oil companies continue to sell petrol and diesel at the existing rates despite the slump in crude oil price in the global market, Shell India has taken the lead and slashed its petrol and diesel prices in twin cities.
"Based on supplies from the refineries, we change prices of our products every fortnight," says Deepak Mukherji, country head of corporate affairs of Shell India.
Premium quality petrol that was sold at Rs. 61.45 per litre at Shell's retail outlets a fortnight ago is now offered at Rs. 58.95 per litre since November 15. Similarly, diesel price has been slashed from Rs. 55.45 per litre to Rs. 44.95. While, premium petrol in public sector oil companies like Indian Oil Corporation and Bharat Petroleum in twin cities is sold at Rs. 60.66 (Xtra Premium) and Rs. 60.70 (Speed) per litre respectively, Shell India offers it at Rs. 58.95 (Shell Super Four for extra mile).
There are over 300 petrol and diesel selling pumps in Hyderabad and Ranga Reddy districts. On an average, 900 kilolitres of petrol and 1,500 kilolitres of diesel is sold everyday in the two districts, says Twin Cities Petrol and Diesel Retail Dealers Association General Secretary, T.C. Goel.

Thought I'd share my Battle Scoot
This is my 1984 Yamaha Riva 180z. I recently applied a custom colored digital camo skin on it with my friend Brian Gerrard from Imagecraft Graphics in Auburn WA. It's my daily driver, although I have several other bikes that like to compete with it for my seat time. I love it. Picked it up in Olympia from a kid for $700, rode it all the way home to Seattle on I-5 with my Wifey following behind. The next weekend I rode it at the Isle of Vashon. Couple weeks later, had the Knobbies mounted, and never looked back. Most recently I wired up a 12v power outlet in the glove box for phone and GPS charging, and I just ordered my Ram mount for my Garmin Nuvi GPS, soon to make an appearance in the cockpit for longer missions and adventures.
Thanks as always for being such a great community, ADV. I love seeing everyone's' rides and learning from you all.

Back on track: how an old-fashioned Kansan with railroading in his blood breathed new life into the UP.
Yet this is a company planted firmly in prairie sod, where an exec's word is a bond. Had Union Pacific been a high-flying firm typical of the go-go '90s, its chief executive might have bailed out on a golden parachute or brazenly proposed yet another merger.
Not so Richard K. Davidson, who became Union Pacific's CEO during the height of the crisis, in early 1997. The spare-worded Kansan and former railroad brakeman characteristically took the heat himself. "I lived on an airplane for about, oh golly, six or nine months," he says in a flat Midwestern accent. "I went from meeting to meeting and government agency to agency apologizing for what was happening but assuring people that we would get it fixed." When he faced a hostile Surface Transportation Board hearing, his statement was notably lacking in hubris: "Our company is embarrassed at the time it has taken to recover from our congestion crisis."
Dick Davidson's mid-American values seem to consist of straight talk, a steady gaze and a handshake. Not one to throw $2-million toga parties in Sardinia, he lives modestly with his wife, Trish, near the more down-to-earth Omaha. For fun, he goes to work, although he's been known to head off into the fields, shotgun in hand, searching for pheasant or quail. "You look at the other CEOs out there and a lot of them are accountants or lawyers," says Davidson. "I think it's just my good fortune that I know what I am--a son of toil."
This proletarian mind-set, combined with vast investments in advanced information technology, saved Union Pacific. Davidson spent $2.8 billion beefing up computer systems and integrating car coding and routing between the underfinanced Southern Pacific and its new owner. The pieces are still not all in place. Just this past fall, the railroad, along with its competitors, was blindsided by a bumper grain crop and a shortage of rail cars, causing more foul-ups. But Union Pacific has made a solid comeback. Its stock is up to the $65-per-share level and recent third-quarter earnings beat Street estimates by 6 cents and earned record revenues.
The re-energized UP is serving up strong competition against Burlington Northern Sante Fe, its historic and faltering competitor in the West and Midwest. The two railroads battle over low-sulfur coal from Wyoming, NAFTA products from Mexico and cheap consumer goods from China arriving at West Coast ports. UP directors are happy with the results. "I've always been a strong advocate of Dick. He's a no-nonsense, up-from-the-ranks kind of guy who understands the business," says Philip F. Anschutz, the Denver billionaire who is Union Pacific's chairman.
Davidson, his colleagues say, never forgets where he is from--a poor farm family making a tough living in the middle of Kansas. When he was 18, in 1960, he embarked on a career and style that would serve him the rest of his life. Lacking college money, he began working nights and weekends as a brakeman on the Missouri Pacific railroad, later bought out by Union Pacific. He climbed the ladder of the working rails, becoming a conductor and later, supervisor, while earning a history degree from Washburn University in Topeka.
He learned many practical lessons along the way. One of the sharpest came in 1965 from Downing B. Jenks, the late chairman of the Missouri Pacific. There was a massive flood in Texas and the railroad sent all the young members of its management training program, including Davidson, down there to get experience handling emergencies. Recalls Davidson: "Lo and behold, there I was up to my waist in water working on a piece of track that was washed out. Here came Mr. Jenks--the chairman of the company and the vice president of operations. That really set a tremendous leadership example of how you get out and just prove to everybody that you're willing to work as hard as or harder than anyone else in the company."
Unbeknown to Davidson, such experiences were prepping him for his career's biggest challenge, fixing the merger mess. As part of that, he needed to finesse the very different corporate cultures of several railroads. For example, the Missouri Pacific, which was bought by Union Pacific in 1982, had a reputation of being a laid-back, good-old-boy kind of route. By contrast, Southern Pacific was seen as a penny-pinching, second-best outfit struggling to survive.
The aristocrat of the bunch was Union Pacific. Its predecessor company had pounded in the golden spike in Promontory, Utah, in 1869 with the Central Pacific railroad, creating the first transcontinental line. Later, international troubleshooter Averill Harriman, a major shareholder, added to UP's classy image. In rail's golden age in the 1930s and 1940s, UP's mustard-colored streamliners whisked celebrities like Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland across the country.
So pervasive was Union Pacific's cachet that when the merger went afoul years later, some Southern Pacific officials just threw in the towel, assuming that UP was simply abusing them, as it always had. Having come from the also-modest Missouri Pacific, Davidson was able to squelch that sentiment and move the newly combined teams quickly toward resolving practical problems.
Another change Davidson initiated was improving ties with customers. Historically, railroads have tended to hold shippers hostage on rates and operations. In this regard, Union Pacific was no shrinking violet. But after the disastrous 1996 merger, Davidson knew he had to win customers back, primarily to keep them from shifting even more to trucks. So, he began a wholesale change in sales attitude and created new, express services, such as the so-called I-5 Corridor, which expedites freight along Interstate 5 running from Seattle to Los Angeles. One new service cuts three days off the transport of interposal cargo from Mexico to markets in the eastern U.S., while a "Blue Streak" line rushes containers west to east.
Customers have noticed. "We went in to bid for coal business," says David L. Sokol, chairman and CEO of MidAmerican Energy Holdings, an Omaha-based energy firm, "and Dick and his team came up with innovative approaches. Usually, innovation in rail is an oxymoron."
IT: The Key to Survival
The biggest changes of all have involved rewiring the train and cargo controls covering 33,000 miles of track across 23 states. The two railroads faced major integration challenges. "We had a modern up-to-date computer system," says Davidson. "Southern Pacific had outsourced their work to IBM and so hadn't had much modernization over the years." The biggest problems showed up in former Southern Pacific territory around Houston and then across SP's southern route from Texas to California. Solving those issues took at least a year. Conflicting union rules between the two roads didn't help.
Even today, routing for the area around parts of Texas is still handled locally, in part because not all of the former Southern Pacific's systems are integrated. For most of UP, routing and traffic control are directed at Omaha's Harriman dispatching center, an old boxcar repair shop that has been converted into a tornado- and terrorist-proof bunker. Inside the darkened structure, 23,000 miles of tracks are displayed in color-coded monitors stretching hundreds of feet down big walls. L. Merrill Bryan Jr., the company's CIO, says the railroad spends about $200 million a year on its IT system. Another system to locate locomotives by remote control will cost $70 million.
IT is the key to survival, Bryan says. "We are extremely capital intensive," he says. "So we need to get more out of what we have." At the moment, 90 percent of customer reports, such as bills of lading, are online. But there's still room to grow; only 50 percent of "event" reporting, including accidents, is done electronically.
Logjams still occur, notably with grain shipments last fall. For the first time in several years, the U.S. has had a bountiful grain crop throughout much of the corn belt. It caught railroads short, causing growers to complain of slow shipments. A UP spokes-woman says reasons for the shortages include a dearth of rail cars: UP has 23,500 cars in grain service and has leased another 1,200. More grain is being exported to Mexico, which is positive, but it also takes cars longer to make their return trips for new loads. And UP has been short of train crews and locomotives. In late November, UP signed for 175 late-model SD70M locomotives with General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. It was UP's biggest buy since 1999 and is worth several hundred million dollars, signaling a strengthening economy.
Overall, Davidson, who is due to retire in two years, says Union Pacific's comeback should be replicated by the entire U.S. railroad industry. Rails may not be as fast as trucks, he adds, but trucking faces some of the same woes that bedeviled rails for years. "The infrastructure is getting crowded, it's getting worn out and there's not enough money to renew it all," Davidson continues. And, in fact, UP is jettisoning Overnite, its trucking unit.
Whether or not railroading achieves a big revival remains to be seen. Other railroads that went through the same type of merger blues as Union Pacific in the 1990s--Norfolk Southern, Burlington Northern Sante Fe and CSX--have not made as strong a recovery. But Davidson has the advantage of having railroading in his blood. That may very well be what it takes to transform UP into a 21st-century competitor.

Tour boat sinks in Vietnam; 12 dead from 9 nations
HA LONG BAY, Vietnam An anchored boat packed with sleeping travelers sank early Thursday in Vietnam's scenic Ha Long Bay, killing 12 people from nine countries in the deadliest tour boat accident since the country opened to foreign visitors 25 years ago.
Vacationers from the U.S., Britain, Australia, Japan, Russia, France, Sweden and Switzerland have been confirmed dead, along with a Vietnamese tour guide, the government said.
All were trapped in the boat when it went down in about 30 feet (10 meters) of water close to several other vessels anchored near a small island about an hour's sail offshore, an official said. Those who survived - nine foreigners and six locals - jumped into the water, where they were rescued by other tour boats.
"The boat took one minute to sink," said Stefano Corda, 35, of Palermo, Italy, who fled with a friend after feeling the boat lurch and hearing noises from on deck.
"We went to the exit, and the boat was almost vertical," Corda said. "I grabbed my friend, we went out and it was so fast."
Ha Long Bay is one of the country's top tourist attractions, drawing more than 5 million visitors a year to the province where 1,600 stunning jagged rock formations rise out of the bay, forming tiny islands. Many visitors stay overnight on wooden boats equipped with sleeping cabins and eating quarters.
Survivors reported seeing a wooden plank on their ship ripping away at around 5 a.m. as the vessel was anchored for the night, followed by gushing water inundating the boat and quickly pulling it under near Titov island, about an hour from mainland's shore, said Vu Van Thin, chief administrator of Quang Ninh province. The boat sank in about 26 to 33 feet (8 to 10 meters) of water.
"Crew members tried to stop the water from coming in and alerted the tourists who were sleeping, but the water came in and the boat sank quickly," Thin said. "All of the 12 people who died were in the cabins."
Italian traveler Stefano Sacconi, 33, of Rome was in the bathroom around 4:20 a.m. when he thought he felt the boat buckling. He returned to bed in a cabin he was sharing with Corda.
"After 20 minutes, we started to hear tables and glasses falling from the top of the restaurant," he said. "After that, my friend went out. He called me, 'Come up! Come up! Something's wrong here! The boat is going down!'"
They jumped from the junk and swam to another nearby ship.
There were 27 people, including six crew members, aboard the boat and all have been accounted for, Thin said. The vessel, which is owned by Truong Hai Co., was anchored alongside dozens of other cruise boats and weather conditions were calm at the time of the sinking.
The dead have been sent to Bai Chay Hospital for identification, where survivors received treatment for minor injuries, said Ngo Van Hung, director of Ha Long Bay's management board.

Microfilm will aid genealogy research
Genealogists researching Edgar County were thrilled to learn of a recent gift to the public library. The Beacon News gave 132 reels of microfilm covering the years 1955-1987 to Paris Public Library on March 12, 2015.
With this generous gift, virtually the entire run of the Beacon and its predecessors is available for searching within the county. Edgar County Genealogy Library owns 1895 through 1954 and 1955 onward is now at the public library. This completes a long-standing project between both libraries to acquire all available issues of the newspaper.
ECGS meeting rescheduled to March 30
Edgar County Genealogical Society will meet on Monday, March 30, at 7pm in the Museum Annex. Following the business meeting, Teresa Pennington will talk about new genealogy-related acquisitions at Paris Public Library.
This is the meeting that was postponed due to inclement weather earlier in the month. The original program presenter will not be available until a later date.
Saturday hours to be added in February
Edgar County Genealogy Library plans to expand its regular hours beginning in February. Weather permitting, ECGL will be open 9am-1pm on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month. Extra hours begin February 7.
Winter weather may change ECGL schedule
Edgar County Genealogy Library may not open – or may close early – when snow, ice, or extreme cold make travel hazardous. Please call 217-463-4209 in inclement weather to see if we are open before traveling to the library.
And the award goes to . . .
This year's Edythe Stephens Award was presented to Phyllis Sutton at the June 2 ECGS annual meeting.
Sutton is a member of ECGS, volunteer librarian at Edgar County Genealogy Library, and genealogist who photographs tombstones and indexed hundreds of names in the 1940 U.S. census. The award was announced by last year's winner Linda Cary.
ECGS began presenting the award in 1990 as a tribute to Edythe Stephens and to honor those who make outstanding contributions in the preservation of local genealogy and history.
ECGS approves new bylaws
Edgar County Genealogical Society met on April 7, at 7pm, in the Historical Museum Annex. The proposed bylaws were approved by unanimous vote. The bylaws are now located in the members section of the website.
A committee was appointed in October to review and revise the bylaws. Following advice in the FGS Bylaws Workbook, the committee decided to combine the ECGS constitution and bylaws into one document. Our thanks to the members of the committee for their work on this project.

Advocates Seeking Relief for Surprise Medical Bills
It even happens to New Yorkers who have good health insurance coverage – surprise medical bills that can total tens of thousands of dollars.
That's why consumer and health advocates are calling on lawmakers to protect consumers from the unexpected. Joclyn Krevat says she was on life support and clearly in no position to be thinking about out-of-network providers. Her husband is a New York teacher with good health benefits. She was at a New York hospital, so they figured everything would be OK. But, about two weeks after she got home they checked the mail. "I started getting enormous bills," she recalls. "You know I thought this was a huge mistake, because I went into this thinking I had really good health insurance, but it wasn't a mistake, this is what they do." Krevat was hit with more than $70,000 in surprise medical bills because out-of-network doctors saved her life. With the help of Consumer Health Advocates and the State Department of Financial Services, her bill has been greatly reduced, but she believes lawmakers need to pass legislation to protect fellow New Yorkers from surprise medical bills. Chuck Bell with New Yorkers for Accessible Health Coverage says his organization gets a steady flow of thousands of complaints about unexpected, and often very expensive, medical bills. "We have about 2,000 people every year complaining that they have surprise medical bills," he says. "We think we need better ground rules in the market place to give consumers fair warning when they're going to have a bill that's going to come in much higher than they would expect. "So, we've been talking to the governor and Senate and Assembly leaders about passing legislation to prevent this problem."
New York lawmakers have already proposed measures that require hospitals to provide patients with information about the network affiliation of doctors. Bell says greater disclosure is needed and New Yorkers should be held harmless if they were not aware providers were not in their network.

Las Vegan First to Try Cancer Drug
By Annette Wells
By ANNETTE WELLS
Randy Irwin is the ultimate guinea pig.
He's the first to try out an experimental treatment by New Jersey- based Medarex for kidney cancer to determine whether it works and to observe possible side effects.
Hopes were that his tumor would shrink or disappear – or at the very least remain in check – because of the treatment.
But earlier this month the 50-year-old Las Vegas resident learned that, after three treatments in six weeks, his tumor had progressed.
While this drug trial will continue at the Nevada Cancer Institute, Irwin and his physicians will go back to the drawing board and search for something else – which is what they've been doing for nearly three years.
"The volunteer doesn't always see the benefits right away, but it really does make a difference," said Irwin, who likens subjecting his body to clinical trials to volunteering. "I see this as a great opportunity to give back to future generations."
The drug Irwin tested is composed of a human monoclonal antibody that researchers believe, once introduced into the system, will bind to a recently discovered protein found on kidney cancer cells known as CD70.
Once the bond between the antibody and protein occurs, the theory is the body's immune system will react and eventually destroy the cancer cells. So far, this theory has only been proved in animal research.
Dr. Wolfram Samlowski, chief of the melanoma, renal cancer and immunotherapy section at the Nevada Cancer Institute, said that if the drug can destroy kidney cancer cells in humans, then it could be considered a treatment and quite possibly a cure.
The Nevada Cancer Institute, or NVCI, is one of three sites in the nation Medarex chose to conduct the Phase I clinical trial, a spokeswoman for the pharmaceutical company said.
New York-based Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and Portland Providence Medical Center in Oregon are the other sites.
NVCI was selected because it has a history with the pharmaceutical company, Samlowski said. Also, the cancer institute is capable of conducting Phase I clinical trials.
The research institute has 88 clinical trials open; seven are with treatments that have never been used in humans.
"We are playing with the big boys," Samlowski said about NVCI's clinical trials. "In prior decades people needed to go out of state to test out the newer drugs."
According to NVCI, 13.5 percent of its patients have enrolled in the clinical trials program. On the national level, the percent of adult patients participating in clinical trials is said to be about 3 percent.
Irwin, who was initially diagnosed with renal cell carcinoma in 2005 while living in Louisville, Ky., has undergone several clinical trials. Initially, his right kidney was removed to prevent further spread of the disease.
Though removal of Irwin's right kidney was deemed successful at the time, he was diagnosed with the disease again after moving to Las Vegas in 2006. For the past two years, Dr. Nicholas Vogelzang, director of NVCI, has monitored the cancer.
The cancer eventually began to grow and Irwin was introduced to the Medarex treatment.
"This disease is more relentless than aggressive," Samlowski said.
Renal cell carcinoma is the most common form of kidney cancer in adults, according to the American Cancer Society. Though it can be inherited, the disease can be the result of obesity, a history of smoking and pain medication misuse.
Although some patients some might drop their head to news their cancer is growing and nothing seems to be working to stop it, Irwin lifts his up. To him, there's a drug out there that can do the job.
And members of the Boy Scout troop whom he works with as LDS Willows Ward Young Men's president seem to respect this attitude.
"I think it's really cool that he's participating in studies (clinical trials). If it works, it helps a lot of people," said Damyn Chipman, a 13-year-old member of Boy Scout Troop 423.
Irwin, who is married with four children, is the troop's team leader.
He also volunteers for his church – The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – helping to reach out to youth.
"Brother Irwin is always working and helping us out," Damyn said about Irwin's volunteer work. "He's fun. He's always coming up with activities for us to do. It's just really cool what he's doing."

Motorists' habits spur call for tax increases
WASHINGTON Motorists are driving less and buying less gasoline, which means fuel taxes aren't raising enough money to keep pace with the cost of road, bridge and transit programs.
A federal commission created by Congress to find a way to make up the growing revenue shortfall in the program that funds highway repairs and construction is talking about increasing federal gas and diesel taxes.
A roughly 50 percent increase in gasoline and diesel fuel taxes is being urged by the commission until the government devises another way for motorists to pay for using public roads.
The 15-member National Commission on Surface Transportation Infrastructure Financing is the second group in a year to call for increasing the current 18.4 cents a gallon federal tax on gasoline and the 24.4 cents a gallon tax on diesel. State fuel taxes vary from state to state.
In a report expected in late January, members of the infrastructure financing commission say they will urge Congress to raise the gas tax by 10 cents a gallon and the diesel tax by about 12 cents to 15 cents a gallon. At the same time, the commission will recommend tying the fuel tax rates to inflation.
The commission will also recommend that states raise their fuel taxes and make greater use of toll roads and fees for rush-hour driving.
Although the cost of gasoline has dropped dramatically in recent months, such tax increases could be politically treacherous for Democratic leaders in Congress. A gas tax hike was one of the reasons they lost control of the House and Senate in the 1994 elections. President-elect Barack Obama has expressed concern about raising fuel taxes in the current economic climate.
But commission members said the government must find more road and bridge building money somewhere.
"I'm not excited about a gas tax increase, but the reality is our current gas tax doesn't pay for upkeep of the system we have now," said Adrian Moore, vice president of the Reason Foundation, a libertarian think tank in Los Angeles, and a member of the highway revenue commission. "We can either let the roads go to hell or we can pay more."
The dilemma for Congress is that highway and transit programs are dependent for revenue on fuel taxes that are not sustainable. Many Americans are driving less and switching to more fuel-efficient cars and trucks, and a shift to new fuels and technologies like plug-in hybrid electric cars will further erode gasoline sales.
According to a draft of the financing commission's recommendations, the nation needs to move to a new system that taxes motorists according to how much they use roads. While details have not been worked out, such a system would mean equipping every car and truck with a device that uses global positioning satellites and transponders to record how many miles the vehicle has been driven, and perhaps the type of roads and time of day.
"Most if not all of the commissioners have a strong belief and commitment that we need a fundamental transformation of the current system," said commission chairman Robert Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a technology policy think tank in Washington.

The much-publicised cultural extravaganza, to mark the 500th anniversary of the coronation of Sri Krishnadevaraya, got off to a colourful start at the world famous Hampi, the erstwhile seat of Vijayanagara empire on Wednesday.
A shobha yatra unfolded, in which artistes of various folk forms depicted the tradition and culture of different parts of the State in a procession. Elephants, horses and camels were also part of the pageant.
All the dignitaries, including senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Sushma Swaraj, Sri Sri Ravishankar of Art of Living Foundation, Chief Minister B.S. Yeddyurappa and his Cabinet colleagues, were brought to the main dais in a fully decorated chariot.
All the roads, boulders, fort walls and monuments at the world heritage site were illuminated and this turned out to be a major attraction of the mega-cultural event. Rangoli was laid by the members of the Samskar Bharati at the Virupaksha temple and in front of all the six stages where the cultural events will take place during the three days of the event.
As a curtain raiser, a 'janapada jatre' was held in which several troupes from various parts of the State put up performances.
Immediately after Ms. Sushma Swaraj inaugurated the event by offering puja to the goddess Bhuvaneshwari and by lighting the lamp, the sky was lit with fireworks. A ballet put up by a large number of artistes followed.
Meanwhile, at a separate function to release two books — 'Hampi the splendour that was' and 'Vijayanagar: through the eyes of Alexander Greenlaw 1856 and John Gollings, 1983', and also books published by the Kannada University, the Union Home Minister P. Chidambaram paid rich tributes to the kings of the Vijayanagara empire, especially of Sri Krishnadevaraya, the most powerful among them for promoting peace, harmony and coexistence. He said the values enunciated by them were worth emulating for the prosperity of the State and the nation.
Mr. Chidambaram was all praise for Sri Krishnadevaraya for his initiative in introducing the irrigation system and for encouraging agriculture, art, literature, architecture and communal harmony. "Sri Krishnadevaraya is known for respecting all sections of society and for patronising all languages. Hampi and its architectural marvel is a tribute to the great emperor," he said.
Mr. Yeddyurappa, who presided over the function, called upon Mr. Chidambaram to extend all assistance for the development of Hampi, which is an international tourist destination.
Mr. Yeddyurappa said that the State Government was committed to the protection and preservation of the ancient monuments which have been attracting tourists all over the globe. He added that steps would be initiated to clear all encroachments around the monuments and making alternate arrangements. Nefarious activities would also be checked at the heritage site. Sri Vidyaranya Bharati of Vidyaranya Math, Ministers G. Karunakara Reddy, Suresh Kumar, Arvind Limbavali and Vishweshwar Hegde Kageri, were among those present.

Washington D.C., District of Columbia
My Rating
As the focus of this tour is the Capitol, I expected to see the Senate and House chambers. This was not to be as we were ushered thru rotundas housing statues of mostly obscure individuals I'd never heard of. Then we joined another couple of tours, some of whom had different itineries. We whipped thru Important memorials such as the Vietnam Memorial by observing it from a distance and being hurried off to the next destination. A

NZ Lodge Accommodation
Some of the words often used to describe New Zealand lodges and retreats include luxury, heavenly, five-star, beautiful, boutique, distinctive, tranquil, paradise and spectacular. You're probably starting to paint a picture of what makes lodges and resorts so distinctive and New Zealand's lodges and retreats really do offer guests the very best in luxury and service.
New Zealand lodge accommodation and retreat accommodation are located throughout the country. Lodges and retreats are often situated in some of the most beautiful and remote parts of New Zealand and are designed to provide a relaxing holiday for visitors from all over the world.
New Zealand's lodges and retreats include secluded beachfront or lakeside lodges and resorts focusing on specific interests such as golf, fishing, hunting, meditation or wilderness activities (also see Outdoor, Sports, Ski and Fishing Lodges).
Lodges in particular tend to cater for a small number of guests at any one time which creates an intimate, boutique atmosphere and the sort of personalised service that large chain-type hotels simply cannot match. See also NZ Luxury Lodges.
Lodges are often located in stunning rural settings or on the out-of-the-way, secluded fringes of popular beauty spots.
New Zealand resort accommodations vary in size, but like lodge accommodation, specialise in offering guests excellence in luxury, service and facilities. The food is generally of exceptional quality and affords an excellent opportunity for guests to enjoy the very best of New Zealand cuisine, wine and beer in beautiful surroundings. Also see NZ Resorts and Health Spas and NZ Meditation Centres and Health Retreats.
The only downside of staying in one of New Zealand's lodge or retreat accommodation is that you may never want to leave!
Whether for business or pleasure, it's easy to find and book your lodge or retreat accommodation in New Zealand online.

Metal Gear Solid: Ground ZeroesPlay as the legendary hero Snake and infiltrate a Cuban military base to rescue the hostages. Can you make it out alive?
Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes Latest News
Actor pleads "don't throw away" MGS5: The Phantom Pain "because upper management fired a genius"
Actor Donna Burke, who lends her voice to the iDroid, says fans shouldn't "throw away" five year's work from the Kojima Productions team on Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain all because Hideo Kojima 'was fired'.
It's been in the news for a while now that Konami and Hideo Kojima aren't on the best terms, although there's been no public acknowledgement of exactly what's occurred.
Report: Sony Pictures lands film rights to Metal Gear Solid, writer and director attached
Hideo Kojima's Metal Gear Solid is sneaking into cinemas according to a report from Deadline, which says Sony Pictures has landed a deal for the rights to a film adaptation of the complex conspiracy caper.
British writer Jay Basu is attached, though Kojima-san could have input. It's also said Jordan Vogt-Roberts will be directing MGS, which is based off the 1998 release on the original PlayStation.
Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes gives "solid" PC sales for Konami
Konami has revealed the PC version of the prologue Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes has done "solid" numbers on PC, although they didn't reveal the exact figures in their recent fiscal.
It hit Steam in December, having enjoyed a million sales in March 2014 on consoles. Overall Konami's digital arm saw revenue dip, for the nine months leading to December 31st.
First Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes screenshots, Nvidia list PC features
The first two screenshots of Kojima Productions' Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes for PC have been released, but not by the developer itself. Instead the images have been published by Nvidia.
They compare two scenes from a PS4 and PC perspective. They also chest beat what special extras the PC version is getting, like SLI support, higher-resolution effects and 60 frames per second.
Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes PC system requirements released
Standalone prologue Metal Gear Solid 5: Ground Zeroes is set for release on PC this December, and Konami has just revealed the game's recommended specifications.
Not as demanding as you might expect, and certainly not as demanding as Metal Gear Solid 5's will be, probably due to the game's previous release on last generation consoles.

I shoot Fuji Sensia 100, a consumer-version of Astia 100F, a lot. I really like the low contrast and natural colour rendition that is not warm nor cool. Especially the highlight area (is it called "toe" in slide film?) is long, so highlights don't blow up so easily as they do with Provia; you don't have to err on the underexpose side so much, and it will give you more "negative film" look.
If you want even lower contrast, you might want to try rating film one stop slower and pull processing. But, you have to try it with the particular film you are going to use. I have tested pulling and can recommend it with Velvia 50; it will give overall lower contrast both in the shadows and hilights as well as midtones.

Fashioning a business
High-end La Jolla boutique owner Laura Gambucci says she helps her clients develop their own sense of style
Q: What designers do you carry in your boutique?
A: It's a one-stop shop for women, with everything from clothing and shoes to workout gear, lingerie, belts, jewelry, hats and handbags. We have the ability to style clients from head to toe for any occasion. Some of the collections we carry are Barbara Bui, Jean Paul Gaultier, Philosophy, Sharon Wauchob, Firma of Berlin and Yigal Azrouel. Coming soon are Pierre Balmain, Karl by Karl Lagerfeld and CNC Costume National.
Q: How does your personal wardrobe differ from the boutique racks?
A: My personal wardrobe reads like a history of fashion. I am a collector of vintage, from the '30s through the '90s. My latest obsession is purchasing vintage Chanel jewelry from the early '90s. My personal style is the unconventional way I mix the vintage with the current pieces. I dress in the way I would style a photo shoot, which might combine a recent piece from the runway with something from 80 years ago.
Q: What in your closet do you cherish the most?
A: My mother's beautiful squash blossom necklace, cuff and ring from the '70s.
