NAIROBI, Kenya — In a career filled with close calls, death-defying escapes, kidnappings and the constant threat of danger, Sept. 21, 2013, was supposed to be a quiet, relaxing day for Tyler Hicks.
It didn't turn out that way.
That day, Hicks — a former Troy Daily News photographer — was running errands in Nairobi, Kenya. Hicks — who now works for the The New York Times and lives and works out of Kenya — was in a small shop purchasing frames for some of his photographs when he heard about a commotion taking place at the upscale Westgate shopping mall, just blocks from where he was. He had no clue an international incident was about to break out within walking distance from the shop.
"I was just running some errands," Hicks said in a telephone interview with the Troy Daily News. "I was at a shop close to the mall getting some photographs framed to give as gifts. It was a frame shop close to the mall. When the shooting started, I was within walking distance of the mall.
"In the city I'm living in now, there's not typically a lot of unrest. It's not like living in Cairo or Beirut. Outside of street crime, things like that usually don't happen here. When I first heard about it, it sounded like a robbery gone bad. Street crime is not that uncommon, so I was sure it was some kind of shootout, which is rare at an upscale mall filled with tourists, but not necessarily unheard of. I figured it was something that had happened hours ago and when I went over there, there would be nothing to see. But when I walked out into the street, I saw hundreds of people running away from the scene and no cars were moving. That's when I knew it was something much more than a robbery."
It was, in fact, a terrorist attack at the mall that resulted in at least 67 deaths and more than 175 wounded in the mass shooting. The Islamist group al-Shabaab claimed responsibility for the attack, which it claimed was in retribution for the Kenyan army's deployment in Somalia.
With bullets flying, blood flowing and chaos in the streets, Hicks did what he has done so many times throughout his career as an internationally acclaimed war correspondent — he grabbed his camera and headed into the heat of the battle. Hicks' photographs from the attack were used by news agencies around the globe — and Monday, Hicks found out he had been awarded the Pulitzer Prize for breaking news photography, the journalism industry's most prestigious honor.
"It really is a huge honor," said Hicks, who also was a part of a New York Times team that won the award in 2009 for International Reporting for its coverage of the conflicts in Pakistan and Afghanistan. "Obviously it's a big recognition that everyone in our industry hopes to get some day. It's a great honor that my work in Kenya was recognized."
For Hicks — who is based in Kenya but continues to travel the world for The New York Times — it truly was a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
"Just the odds of me being in town when this was happening were pretty remote — I'm traveling to other countries on assignment at least 70 percent of the time," Hicks said. "For something like this to happen right around the corner from me is really pretty amazing. These were pretty unusual circumstances. Usually I travel thousands of miles to be where the story is happening. When I go to someplace like Afghanistan, Syria or Libya, it usually takes several days or even a week to reach places like that."
Hicks has become one of the top photographers in the world based on his willingness to travel into the heart of conflict. Since leaving the Troy Daily News in the early 1990s, he's worked in Syria, Libya, Pakistan, India, Iraq, Russia, Bosnia, Lebanon, Israel, the Balkans and numerous countries in Africa. His work has won numerous national and international awards in addition to his pair of Pulitzer Prizes.
On March 16, 2011, Hicks was reported missing while covering the revolution in Libya for The New York Times. Six days later, Hicks — along with fellow journalists Anthony Shadid, Lynsey Addario and Stephen Farrell were released by pro-Muammar al-Gaddafi forces. Less than a year later, on Feb. 16, 2012, Shaddid suffered a fatal asthma attack while covering civil unrest in Syria alongside Hicks. Hicks assisted in carrying Shaddid's body across the border to Turkey.
"If you were going to make up a fictional story about Tyler Hicks, they would probably send it back to you because no one would ever believe it," said former Troy Daily News executive editor David Lindeman, who hired Hicks as an intern — and then as chief photographer — in the early 1990s. They would say it was too far out there. Tyler is the master of being in the right place at the right time. I remember after he left here and went to North Carolina, he sent us a picture of him standing on a dock in the middle of a hurricane. That's just how he is. He's going to throw himself into situations like that. He's like a superhero photographer."
Despite his coverage of nearly every major conflict in the past 20 years, however, Hicks said the terrorist attack at the Westgate shopping mall presented dangers to which even he was not accustomed.
"It was a situation where the danger level was very high," Hicks said. "We were going into a place where we didn't really know what to expect. A lot of things were unclear. We didn't know how many terrorists to expect or who they even were. We didn't know if they had guns or explosives or had set up tripwires or booby traps or anything like that."
While he may not be afraid to enter dangerous situations, Hicks said he is never reckless when entering a war zone — and has spent his entire adult life learning how to deal with dangerous situations from some of the best and most experienced journalists in the world.
"It's not something I would think about doing with prior exposure to those types of situations," he said. "I've been in a lot of places where conflict is going on and worked around other experienced journalists, observing them. A lot of them have been at it a long time and been successful at doing it. You pay attention to how they do that. A lot of what you learn from them factor into the decisions you make when you are entering a place like the Westgate mall."
One of the journalists Hicks learned from was former Troy Daily News chief photographer Chris Hondros. Following Hicks' graduation from Boston University in 1992, it was Hondros who hired him as a TDN photo intern. When Hondros left the Troy Daily News, Hicks took over as chief photographer and would spend a year in Troy. Like Hicks, Hondros would go on to become one of the top international war correspondents, taking photos in many of the same war-torn locations as Hicks.
Hondros' work appeared on the cover of magazines such as Newsweek and on the front pages of newspapers such as The New York Times, Washington Post and Los Angeles Times. Hondros was a Pulitzer Prize finalist. He was killed in a mortar attack on April 20, 2011, while covering the Libyan civil war.
"I didn't know Chris prior to coming to Troy," Hicks said. "But after I had graduated from Boston University, I was living with my father in New York City, looking for post-graduate work or internships. Chris called me and told me to come on out — and I loved it in Troy. When Chris moved on, I took his job for a year. Our careers would end up following very parallel paths, as we both worked covering a lot of the same things."
Both Hicks and Hondros are part of a long lineage of award-winning former Troy Daily News photographers. Spencer Platt also covered a number of foreign wars for Getty Images. Chris Usher is a Washington, D.C.-based photographer who has covered national politics — including several U.S. presidents — for a number of years. Vince Musi is a photographer for National Geographic. Rick Wilson is a Florida-based sports photographer who has won dozens of national awards, particularly for his photos the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. J.D. Pooley is a frequent contributor to national newspapers and magazines. Troy resident Jim Witmer has won dozens of awards for his photography.
"The TDN has a pretty long line of amazing photographers come through there," Lindeman said. "This current line started with Witmer, who basically won every award in the universe. He kind of started that string of people, then once you get that in place, it kind of builds upon itself. They all rub off on each other. They all learn from one another."
When Hicks left the Troy Daily News, Pooley — who currently works in Bowling Green — replaced him. He fondly remembers many of the lessons he learned from Hicks.
"The one thing I remember about Tyler in Troy was how passionate he was, no matter what he was shooting," Pooley said. "I remember him talking about how it was his goal every day to get one great feature photo for the front page for David Lindeman. He was driven to get great photos. That's something that really resonated with me and it's something that has stuck with me as I've been in the business for 20 years now."
Hicks said that while he has traveled the globe, he's still proud of his roots and remembers Troy fondly.
"I think Troy has been gifted with many talented photographers with extraordinary talents over the years," he said. "It's pretty incredible some of the photographers that have been through the Troy Daily News — I know a lot of papers would be happy to have had that many, let alone a smaller paper like Troy. I'm thankful to have had the chance to work there and work with some of the photographers I did."

Perry rallies to lead FBR Open
Piercy started the day in a tie for eighth at 6 under. He quickly vaulted to the top of the leaderboard with birdies on eight of the first 13 holes.
"The putter was rolling so well today," he said. "The hole looked like a five-gallon bucket."
Piercy's lead over Perry grew to four strokes after 13 holes. But that's when Piercy began to falter.
On the par-4, 477-yard 14th, he buried his second shot in thick grass beyond the green, then fluffed his chip shot and two-putted for bogey.
The 558-yard 15th had been the easiest hole this week. But Piercy drove into a lake on the left and took another bogey.
At some point, Perry glanced at a leaderboard and saw that Piercy had dropped to 11 under from 14 under.
"I was like, 'What happened?' " Perry said. "So either they put wrong numbers up or he had a couple of tough holes coming in."
Piercy missed a chance to make up a stroke on the fully enclosed 16th. Piercy hit his tee shot to five feet but missed the birdie putt and had to settle for par.
Piercy followed that with another bogey, on the par-4, 332-yard 17th – his third bogey in four holes.
Piercy parred No. 18, but by the time he reached the clubhouse, his lead over Perry had evaporated into the dry desert air.
Piercy said he didn't look at his slow finish as a missed opportunity.
"The bogeys, whatever," Piercy said. "I look at it as eight birdies; that was awesome."

Jamie Lynn Spears is the star on the Nickelodeon show Zoey 101 and the studio bosses acted like everything was peachy even though the 16-year old star of the show was knocked up.
It doesn't really seem like that's the case because rumor on the block is that they might cancel the show. The fourth season has already been filmed but the bosses are indecisive whether to actually air the show. An insider said, "For now it looks like it has been canned."
Jamie Lynn shouldn't worry too much, she can always sell more of her personal stories to the tabs cause she seems to be really popular. Her OK! Magazine exclusive sold more than 2 million copies which is way more than what Britney sold a few months back.

BROOKVILLE — A week after Punxsutawney Borough Council sought to halt possible sales of bath salts and synthetic marijuana in the borough, District Attorney Jeff Burkett reported that he filed a civil action Monday, asking for an injunction banning the sale and possession of various forms of synthetic drugs that are sprouting up all over Pennsylvania.
According to Burkett, the Senate passed a bill June 15 that banned a number of different drugs, including synthetic marijuana and bath salts.
Gov. Tom Corbett signed the bill Thursday, but it will not go into effect for another 60 days.
HARMONY — PennDOT held a public meeting at the Elk Run fire hall Wednesday to display plans for the proposed replacement of Harmony bridges No. 1 and No. 2, Route 310, in Young Township.
Ray Smith, PennDOT project manager, said the first bridge will be replaced with a concrete bridge, and the second will be replaced with a galvanized box culvert.
Smith said the bridge project is supposed to be bid in December, with construction to begin in April. Completion is scheduled for the fall of 2012.

Lamar Hunt loved cheesecake. Who doesn't? So in his great desire to share during a Chiefs trip to Los Angeles several years ago, Hunt gathered together many dessert-loving Chiefs employees and VIPs in the hotel lobby for a trip to one of his favorite restaurants for cheesecake.
Naturally, the restaurant was packed, but the billionaire had the restaurant employees hopping to find a big table for the Hunt party. Once seated, the Hunt party awaited his order. So did the waiter, figuring he was going to score a big tab. To everyone's surprise, Hunt didn't order the menu. Instead, he ordered several slices of cheesecake and forks for everyone.
That anecdote symbolized Lamar Hunt, who died Wednesday night at age 74 from complications of cancer. He was a billionaire who lived like the common man.
When limos were lined up at the airport awaiting the arrival of dignitaries for an NFL owners' meeting, Hunt would be with reporters at the rental car counter trying to find the right midsize car. Despite coming from one of the country's richest families, Hunt wasn't tainted by his billions. And he was all about sharing.
Tip your forks to a great American sportsman.
As the 1960s began, Hunt's cheesecake was pro football. He tried to get Dallas' NFL expansion franchise but was blocked by George Halas, who favored Clint Murchison. Instead of following the rest of his family, the son of oilman H.L. Hunt wanted to go into the sports business.
Rejected by the NFL, the 27-year old Hunt got a call from Ralph Wilson, the current Buffalo Bills owner. Wilson flew to Dallas for a meeting of the minds. Together, they started "The Foolish Club," a collection of eight owners crazy enough to form the American Football League to compete against the NFL. If you can't join them, try to beat them.
It wouldn't have been the Hunt way to get into football the conventional way. The AFL was an upstart league with bold ideas and modest pockets to pay for them. Hunt gave the league credibility. In times of trouble, he had the money to bail out teams. Being a good sportsman, Hunt once traded the Oakland Raiders a quarterback just because they didn't have one. He wanted a competitive league.
Hunt got the Dallas franchise of the AFL but didn't make money. His team won the 1962 championship, but Hunt moved the team to Kansas City, turning his Dallas Texans into the Kansas City Chiefs.
In helping set up the AFL, Hunt brought fresh ideas to pro football. Former NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle gets credit for the revenue-sharing concept that is the foundation of the league. The late Wellington Mara has been lionized -- and rightfully so -- for making the NFL work by his willingness to share the rich New York television market with his fellow owners.
But both got the idea from Hunt and his AFL days. Whether the beneficiary was a cheesecake-loving colleague or a league striving to remain competitive, Hunt believed in sharing. As it turned out, Hunt, the moderate, also had enough credibility with NFL owners and Rozelle to broker the merger of the AFL and NFL.
The AFC Championship trophy bears his name, and it was only fitting that the first AFL-NFL championship game featured the Chiefs playing the Packers. Hunt is also credited with coining the term "Super Bowl" for the NFL's supreme game. He was inspired by watching his daughter play with a SuperBall, which is now displayed in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

land security require collaborations with end users at the state and local levels of government so that programs can take into account the needs of these users, like technologies for first responders. Further, federal programs must be designed with an understanding of the critical role industry will play as a developer, producer, and user of counterterrorism technologies. Important questions include who the consumer of these technologies will be, whether there will be a commercial market for new products, and what role government procurement can productively play.
Despite these problems, the nation's research system, with vast and diverse capabilities spread among universities, national and federal laboratories, and industry, provides a unique infrastructure and sound basis for mounting aggressive programs in the kinds of crosscutting R&D discussed in this chapter. The challenge for government leaders is to harness this capacity for the creation of a greatly expanded and coordinated national S&T agenda for counterterrorism. This will require a commitment to providing significant new funding and to sustaining the programs over a number of years.

Court enters not guilty plea for Napoles
Reporters and photographers mob Janet Napoles and her security escorts as she is being led out of the courtroom in Makati after her arraignment Monday. VIDEO by INQUIRER.net's Julliane Love de Jesus
MANILA, Philippine – Janet Napoles-Lim, who is at the center of the P10-billion "pork barrel" scam, on Monday opted not to enter a plea on the case of serious illegal detention filed against her by whistle-blower Benhur Luy.
Napoles made the decision in the arraignment proceedings around 1:30 p.m. before Judge Elmo Alameda of Branch 150 of the Makati Regional Trial Court.
"This means judge will enter for her a plea of not guilty," said Napoles' lawyer, Lorna Kapunan.
Kapunan said Napoles cannot enter any plea as they still have a pending petition before the Court of Appeals, which questioned the Department of Justice's decision that reversed its earlier resolution which said that Napoles didn't commit serious illegal detention and kidnapping.
"Ang nangyari nung naging NBI investigation, sinisingil na ang DOJ ng plunder case, eh biglang ni-revive nila yung kaso ng serious illegal detention. Almost overnight ni-reverse nila ang decision at ikinulong si Mrs. Napoles," Kapunan said.
Before this, Napoles' camp filed an urgent motion to move the arraignment in Laguna, citing "security reasons."
Last Friday, Alameda junked Napoles' petition, which sought for the postponement of the arraignment due to "lack of merit."
Kapunan said they wanted to defer Napoles' arraignment, citing her pending petition for certiorari before the Court of Appeals.
Alameda, however, said the mere pendency of a petition for certiorari at the appellate court will not automatically suspend the proceedings.
Alameda issued an arrest warrant against Napoles and her brother Reynald Lim on August 14 for the illegal detention of her cousin Luy.
Napoles turned herself in to President Benigno Aquino III on August 28, hours after the President announced a P10-million reward for information leading to her arrest. Her brother, however, remained at large.
Napoles was initially detained at the Makati City Jail, and was later transferred to the Fort Santo Domingo in Santa Rosa, Laguna.
From Laguna, Napoles was escorted by members of Philippine National Police's elite Special Action Force to Makati City which is about 65 kilometers away.
Police Senior Superintendent Manuel Lukban, Makati police chief, earlier said a dry run was held Saturday to test the security plan for Napoles' transfer.

- Shopping Bag ( 0 items )
From the PublisherThis is certainly a favorable book for someone seeking an account of wavelet applications in earth sciences. Do we recommend buying it? Yes, as long as you possess a complementary book more throughly detailing the fundamentals ofwavelet theory.
This book brings wavelets back to (the) earth, and provides a good reference for any researcher who is interested in the applications of wavelet transforms in geophysics....Geophysics covers a very wide study area—from the atmosphere, several hundred miles high, to the very center of the earth. In this sense, the book itself is localized in both time and space.
Only in the past couple of years have geophysicists started to reevaluate the use of wavelet transformsin their applications. Thus it is very encouraging to find a new publication detailing some recent developments and applications of the use of wavelet transforms in geophysics.
—Mathematics of Computation
The book under review is of definite interest to all applied researchers in the field. ...this book is very timely: the papers cover a wide range of applications and the results are well presented. We recommend this book without hesitation to any researcher, practitioner or student in geophysics.

|NBA Odds: Dallas Mavericks at Toronto Raptors Spread Picks & Public Bets
|Written by Anthony Rome
|Wednesday, 12 December 2007 02:35
Big Challenge
The Toronto Raptors hoped the returns of Chris Bosh, Andrea Bargnani and T.J. Ford would give the team a spark.
The reunion of Toronto's three stars, however, appears to be short-lived.
Likely without Ford - their second-leading scorer - the Raptors try to end an eight-game losing streak to the Dallas Mavericks when they meet Wednesday at the Air Canada Centre.
Oddsmakers from SBG Global have made Dallas -5 point spread favorites (NBA Odds) for today's game, the over/under has been set at 198 total points (Matchup). Our public betting information shows that 90% of bets for this game have been placed on Dallas –5 (View NBA Bet Percentages).
Bosh, Bargnani and Ford have all missed points of the season with various injuries, and Tuesday's 100-88 victory marked the first time the trio played together since Nov. 20. But Ford may not be available for the Raptors (12-10) after taking a scary fall in the win, and his status is uncertain.
Raptors spokesman Jim LaBumbard said Ford "had feeling in his upper and lower extremities when he was taken off the floor." He was expected to remain at an Atlanta hospital overnight.
Ford scored 26 points - nearly doubling his season average of 14.1 points - and was driving to the basket when Hawks rookie Al Horford hit the guard's face with his hand. The diminutive point guard landed hard on his back, his head bouncing off the floor.
As a precaution, Ford, who missed the 2004-05 season while with Milwaukee due to neck surgery, was strapped to a stretcher and wheeled off the court.
"After a while I could see him moving and that was a relief," said Bosh, adding there was immediate concern from the team because of his injury history.
"It turns my stomach because of who it is," Bosh said. "Like I say, we know about his situation and everything."
Jose Calderon likely will see extended minutes if Ford is unable to play, and is coming off a solid performance Tuesday in which he had 15 points and seven assists in just 19 minutes. Still, the Raptors may be hard-pressed to salvage a split of the season series with the Mavericks (14-8), whom they lost to 105-99 on Nov. 20, and have not beaten since a 77-71 victory Nov. 6, 2003.
The Mavericks are hoping to extend their mastery of the Raptors as they continue to try and put a difficult 3-6 stretch from Nov. 23-Dec. 6 behind them. Dallas has won consecutive games, including a 98-89 win over the New York Knicks on Monday as Dirk Nowitzki had a season-high 36 points on 14-of-23 shooting.
"I was fortunate I was able to find the rhythm very quick," said Nowitzki, who scored 15 third-quarter points. "From the beginning on I stayed aggressive, had some good looks. Pretty much I was on attack mode all night long."
Josh Howard added 22 points, but coach Avery Johnson was upset his team let a 22-point lead dwindle to seven in the second half.
"We had a big enough lead and we should have kept it," Johnson said. "The last two minutes or three minutes of the third quarter was absolutely pathetic. The guys who were in there let the whole team down. We can't afford the team to do that."
Johnson's frustrations were apparent to his players during the team's film session Tuesday before his team practiced in Toronto.
"The film session was a little tense," Jerry Stackhouse told the Mavericks' official Web site. "I think just from a matter of the letdown, so many good things happened for two and half quarters for us, but just a couple bad possessions then all of a sudden it snowballed into more of a game than we liked."
Nowitzki, who scored 32 points against the Raptors on Nov. 20, has enjoyed a lot of success against Toronto. He has averaged 24.1 points in 16 career games against them, and 27.8 points the last six meetings.
He posted four double-doubles and recorded four 30-point games in that span.

We know you can't get enough of the April 29 royal wedding of Kate and William, but here is something closer to home – and you can attend. On May 22, K-Earth 101's Gary Bryan and two military chaplains will marry 25 military couples in a lavish ceremony at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort & Spa.
Supported by the USO, K-Earth wants couples to submit their stories on why they should be selected for this event, which takes place during Armed Forces Weekend. Here's the link to enter: kearth101.radio.com/gary-marries-the-military/
According to the station announcement, the 1 p.m. ceremony will take place in the resort's Lighthouse. "Honoring proper military tradition, each couple will be presented with a joint service presentation of the saber arch and flying of each of the Armed Forces flags," the release said, adding that a reception will follow in the ballroom. No word yet on any honeymoon surprises.
"We are thrilled K-Mozart is returning," wrote Gisela Sanders of Yorba Linda, after reading that starting April 4, classical music was going to be on KMZT/1260 AM, 105.1 FM HD2, and on www.kmozart.com. "KUSC is wonderful, but it is so nice to have more of a selection."
"How exciting to have K-Mozart back," e-mailed Suzy Casey, Newport Coast. Readers agreed with KMZT owner Saul Levine the AM sound was improved, while others said they enjoyed the stereo quality of the FM and Internet.
Lorri Spiegel, Beverlywood (south of Beverly Hills) e-mailed that she rushed out to buy a HD radio so she could hear the "Retro" adult standards format on 105.1 FM HD 3. "It's charging now," she added. It can also be heard on www.retro105.com.
The transition from retro to classical seemed to go smoothly. I enjoyed the frequent airings of Aaron Copland, Leonard Bernstein and other composers and musicians whose works are lively enough to entertain people like me while doing my daily driving.
Jazz and classical musician David Benoit starts April 18 in the 2-5 p.m. weekday slot. Concert commitments delayed his debut. His classical interests, he said in an interview, "started when I married my wife Kaye, who is Japanese. She is totally into classical, and I started conducting for pop acts like Lainie Kazan and Connie Stevens. Then I started scoring films."
Benoit did a benefit for the Asia American Symphony Association, then "they asked me to take over. That was ten years ago. I just jumped in and conducted a double piano concerto. It was trial by fire, but now I keep a pretty good mix between jazz and classical orchestra," he said.
Condolences to KABC/790 AM mid-morning talk host Larry Elder on the death of his father Randolph, 95. He often talked about his dad on his program. He told writer Tina Marie Ito, "He was in assisted living, and his memory was going. He was comfortable, he was well-loved, he had friends and he lived a big, huge, epic life, and I'm so proud of him." He added, "I am proud I'm his son, I hope I honored him. I intend to live my life in a way that he'd be proud of me."
Elder's book, "Dear Father, Dear Son," describes his relationship with his dad. To read more of Elder's interview with Ito, go to the subscription website, www.LARadio.com.
Correction: An earlier version of this column misidentified Larry Elder's father.

G.O.T. axiom Walter Brennan exhibited the most range in the category: from Vicious G.O.T., as nasty Old Man Clanton in My Darling Clementine, to (more typically) the Dotty and Adorable G.O.T. In Rio Bravo, his toothless and perpetually riled Stumpy is cook, maid, nurse, and babysitter (of the sole local prisoner), yet still finds time to save the day with a few expertly tossed bundles of dynamite. If Brennan was G.O.T. as hero, then Hank Worden (much later the ancient bellhop on Twin Peaks) embodied the holy fool, aiding the obsessive quest in The Searchers in return for the homely promise of "just a rockin' chair by the fire." In The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, cackling, jig-dancing G.O.T. Walter Huston is a veritable loom of homespun wisdom, from gold extraction ("Gotta know how to tickle her so she'll come out laughin' ") to workplace relations ("Got somethin' up yer nose? Blow it out, it'll do ya good"). When trouble gallops onto the horizon and lesser men grab their pistols, Huston reaches instead for his cookware, and gets some beans on the firehis boys can't fight bandits on an empty stomach.

Around three weeks ago, it seemed that the government was mulling over cutting short the budget session for lack of business. Now, it is toying with the idea of extending the session if bills prioritised by it are not passed in the next three days.
A final decision on whether to extend the 28 sittings session will be taken at a meeting of the Cabinet Committee on Parliamentary Affairs (CCPA) on Wednesday, government sources said. The session, which began on July 7, might be extended by two-three days from August 19, as August 18 is a holiday for Janmashtami, they said. If the session is extended, five more bills will likely be taken up, according to sources.
The government is keen on ensuring passage of the Judicial Appointments Commission Bill, which was taken up in the Lok Sabha on Tuesday. The government has the numbers in the Lok Sabha, but in the Rajya Sabha, the government is dependent on the Opposition for legislative business.
The other bills that the government wants passed are the Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Bill, Constitution (121st Amendment) bill and three labour related bills — Apprentices (Amendment) bill, Repealing and Amending Bill and Factories (Amendment) Bill. The insurance bill, to raise FDI cap to 49 per cent, is being referred to the Select Committee.
Earlier on Tuesday, parliamentary affairs minister Venkaiah Naidu said at a meeting of the BJP parliamentary party that the government was committed to passing the crucial bills and would extend the session if Congress obstructs the passage of bills. He asked the MPs to be present in the House when the crucial bills are taken up.
The UPA government was castigated for its low legislative turnout. The ongoing budget session was being seen as the first test for the Modi government's parliamentary efficiency. Prime Minister Narendra Modi was averse to the idea of cutting short the session, which pushed various ministries to get some bills ready.

Just to clarify some of those points...
by Wolfie2k5 - 3/3/13 11:59 AM
In Reply to: Do I need a tablet by AngryRaisin
CPros -
Excellent battery life - depends on the make and model of the unit. Some are better than others.
Instant boot - Eh.. Not so much. My Ainol Novo 7 takes abut 1 minute or so to cold boot. After all, it is running Android - which is a flavor of Linux. On the plus side, once booted, it can go to sleep and be woken up instantly.
Works faster outta the box - than what? Even though most tablets come with some complimentary games and apps, it's like any other computing device - it will require finding, downloading and installing other apps to bend the default tablet to your needs.
Cons -
No keyboard - Should read "No PHYSICAL keyboard". All such devices do have an on screen keyboard.
Connections with other devices is iffy at best - Well.. That's one of those things that falls into the "that depends" catagory. It depends on how much effort you want to put into connecting them. Wifi usually works pretty well, but once connected it's generally a matter of getting them to talk to each other.
Small storage space - Well... that kinda flys into the face of one of your Pros - Cloud Connectivity - and how much storage you've got there. But most tablets have an SD chip slot you can use to add more storage. The notable exception - the iOS line of devices. DOH!
Without internet connectivity your experience will probably be pretty poor - That would depend largely on the app in question. I managed to survive without internet access with my tablet for about 4 months (at home) as I had problems with my wifi router. Still, the apps I used worked fine - even the ad supported ones - without the cloud...
There's one more you can add to the cons list...
Flash - Much of the internet runs on Flash. Games such as Farmville on Facebook, most videos on YouTube, and other popular items - live and breathe Flash. Some content is available, but much of it is not. I know I've gone out to find a song on YouTube by way of the tablet - so I can turn a friend onto a band I've come across - only to be blocked because that video is Flash only. DOH! Sometimes you get lucky while others - not so much.

The Web was abuzz last month with talk of the Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA. Most people were probably aware that sites like Wikipedia and Reddit blacked out in protest on January 18th but what is SOPA and why should it matter to the average American? There's nothing wrong with wanting to stop online piracy, right? It depends.
U.S. Representative Lamar Smith (R-TX) authored SOPA and introduced it to the House in October 2011. (The bill's complete title is "To promote prosperity, creativity, entrepreneurship, and innovation by combating the theft of U.S. property, and for other purposes" -H.R. 3261.) While protecting ideas that belong to the States from plagiarism by people outside the U.S. jurisdiction certainly sounds like a noble cause, dealing with the Web is a tricky demographic: If SOPA comes into effect, the U.S. Department of Justice will be able to seek court orders against sites generated in foreign countries that they believe are violating copyright laws and American sites would no longer even be allowed to conduct business with or be linked to these sites.
The Motion Picture Association of America is a proponent of the bill, citing protection of creative ideas. Other supporters of SOPA say that it will help the pharmaceutical industry in America by preventing counterfeit drugs from being shipped in inexpensively from other countries. Opponents of the bill fear that their First Amendment rights are being encroached upon, as user-generated sites would likely feel the biggest sting. If a small minority of users violated copyright laws, would sites like YouTube or Flickr be shut down for everyone?
Two days after the online blackout/protest, Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-NV) announced that the decision to consider SOPA was being postponed due to the negative response from the sites who protested and the citizens who supported them for doing so. Is this the last we will hear of SOPA or is it set to be an ongoing battle? And finally, how would SOPA affect college students? While most professors don't consider Wikipedia to be a valid source of information to cite on a research paper, it does give students a good overview of a topic and provide valuable links to scholarly websites that would be good resources. Social networking sites could be affected, too...need I say more? SOPA is not just talk that will stay on Capitol Hill – it could potentially change the way Americans use (or don't use) the Internet forever.

Each year more than half a million students - just like - you participate in the National History Day Contest. How can you get in on the action? Choose a historical topic related to the annual theme, and then conduct primary and secondary research. Look through libraries, archives and museums, conduct oral history interviews, and visit historic sites. After you've analyzed and interpreted your sources, and have drawn a conclusion about the significance of your topic, you will then be able to present your work in one of five ways: as a paper, an exhibit, a performance, a documentary, or a web site.
The National History Day Contest is open to students in grades 6-12 in the junior (grades 6-8) and senior (grades 9-12) divisions. The projects relate to a specific historical topic or theme. There are seven categories, including individual papers, individual exhibits, group exhibits, individual performance, group performance, individual documentary, and group documentation. Within each category, the first place winner receives $1,000, the second place winner receives $500, and the third place winner receives $250. The national contest is held in June.

Vicki Prince will soon mark her fifth anniversary as coordinator of volunteer services for Hospice of the Bluegrass.
"It has given me a new perspective on death and dying. It has made me appreciate each day even more," said Prince, whose primary duties are to recruit and train volunteers in Harlan, Bell, Knox, Whitley, Clay and Laurel counties.
"Volunteers are vital to hospice. We are required by Medicare to have volunteers. That was something done in 1982 when they enacted the Hospice Medicare Benefit. It is to help cut costs, but it is much more than that. It is the satisfaction of doing something to help someone else… That is what you get back out of it."
Volunteers serve in various capacities, but respite care services are needed.
"We have so many caregivers who are tired. Some of them are 24/7 caregivers. Maybe they need a break to go get their hair done or to go to an appointment. Having someone there to help is so important. Some don't have family and just need someone to talk to."
Prince said some "are reluctant to commit to something, or they are afraid of saying the wrong thing around a hospice patient or not knowing what to say or how to say it."
She provides training for the volunteers. Depending on interests, she either sends them to help at patients' homes, the nursing home or assigns duties in the office.
As with most service organizations, Price said hospice struggles with recruiting and retention of volunteers.
"We need more volunteers," she said. "We want to find people who are compassionate and caring and who sincerely want to be of service to the community to just help somebody. I know those people are out there. It is just reaching those particular people."
Hospice has no age requirements for volunteering. "We have teen volunteers as young as 13 to 14 years old volunteer in the offices or go to nursing homes," she said. "We have volunteers who cook and sew. We've had volunteers in their 70s and 80s who visit with people in their home or nursing home… They can be a companion to give the caretaker a break."
A native of Georgia, Prince is a member of the chambers of commerce in her service counties. A Rotarian, she serves on the Harlan County Community Education Council and is a past board member of the Harlan Rotary Club. She has volunteered in the local Reading Buddies program.
Prince and her husband, John, have two sons and a daughter. Her hobbies include reading and travel. She enjoys basketball and football.
To volunteer, call Prince at 573-6111 or visit www.hospicebg.org to complete an application.

An important research endeavor in many disease entities has been the development of better and novel diagnostic strategies in the form of non-invasive imaging, biomarkers and neuronal markers of injury. These markers are critical as objective measures of outcome in designing clinical trials.
Development of novel imaging strategies:
To better define the pathology and subtypes of transverse myelitis (TM) and multiple sclerosis (MS), we must develop novel imaging strategies for patients. Although conventional MRI approaches effectively define abnormal regions within the nervous system, they do not precisely define what that abnormality is. Emerging technologies allow a more precise understanding of pathology in the nervous system and can identify appropriate therapeutic interventions in the phase during which those interventions are likely to be helpful.
Proteomics to develop biomarkers:
The past decade has seen much research focused on gene expression arrays that have identified several novel transcripts in MS brain tissue. Proteomics is a relatively newer field that holds significant promise for identifying individual proteins or patterns of proteins that are involved in MS.
Johns Hopkins Medicine has a large proteomics facility that includes several mass spectroscopy units, gas chromatography, HPLC, and a dedicated bioinformatics unit.
This facility has been further coupled with laser capture microscopy and thus has the ability to work with complex biological material to identify unique proteins, peptides, lipids, or carbohydrate moieties expressed in pathological tissues and fluids.
Additionally, the Johns Hopkins Medicine Multiple Sclerosis Center has acquired a Ciphergen proteomics machine (SELDI mass spectroscopy) that is capable of screening large numbers of clinical serum and CSF MS samples to screen for patterns of aberrant protein expression. This project has already been initiated and thus will be operative during years 1-5 of the project.

Now, I will make bbq for his birthday for the meal, but I would LOVE to make him a cake that looks like a bbq sandwich. Any ideas? The buns should be easy, but I'm not sure what to do about the meat.
