The Central Committee of the banned Communist Party of India (Maoist) has called for an all-India "Protest Week" from January 2 to 8 to protest against the life sentences handed down to physician and human rights activist Binayak Sen, businessman Pijush Guha and alleged Maoist leader Narayan Sanyal.
On December 24, Judge B.P. Verma of the Raipur Additional District and Sessions Court held the three guilty of conspiring to commit sedition and sentenced to them to life imprisonment.
In a statement e-mailed to this correspondent, Maoist spokesperson Abhay clarified that his party was not calling for a 'bandh' or lock-down of businesses and transportation, but urged party cadres to protest via "press conferences, statements, dharnas, rasta rokos, meetings, protest rallies, processions, signature campaigns, wearing black badges, waving black flags, burning of effigies etc."
Terming the verdict the "latest addition to the cache of anti-people, fascist repressive measures of the Indian ruling classes, Abhay described Sanyal as a member of the politburo of the CPI (Maoist) who joined the "revolutionary" movement in 1968.
The press release claims a number of Maoist leaders such as Kobad Gandhi, Sushil Roy, Patitpavan Haldar, Pramod Mishra and Chandi Sarkar were being held on false charges across the country.

Earth Day takes on a new meaning as Dunkin' Donuts starts construction on its newest green building.
Content provided by Dunkin' Donuts
Dunkin' Donuts continues its commitment to sustainable building this Earth Day by breaking ground on its third "green" restaurant in Edgewater, Fla.
This will be the third sustainable collaboration between Dunkin' and Aziz Company since 2008. All three restaurants have been meticulously planned to maximize energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact, with positive impact to the bottom line.
The first restaurant, built in 2008, focused on energy efficiency and achieved Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver certification. The second restaurant, built in 2010, added an expanded water-savings strategy and achieved LEED Gold certification. The latest building will incorporate the best of both, plus enhanced community involvement in the building process and will submit for LEED certification upon completion.
During the Edgewater restaurant construction, a smartphone station will be available to encourage community members to take their own photos, which will be included in a video about the project.
The new location's green attributes will include:
- Energy-efficient LED lighting
- Insulated concrete foam walls
- Highly reflective hardscapes and roofing
- Sophisticated energy monitoring system
- Low-flow plumbing fixtures
- Rainwater harvesting system for landscape irrigation
- Healthy interior finishes
- Re-usable beverage mug program and paper cup option for hot beverages
- Food donation initiative
- Coffee ground composting in partnership with local farmers
Many green attributes from Dunkin' Donuts three LEED certification projects have also been incorporated into building specifications as standard for all new U.S. restaurants, including low-flow faucets, LED-illuminated signage and insulated glass.

Dr Hadef bin Jua'an Al Daheri, Minister of Justice, said in a statement after the committee's meeting Saturday night that Monday will be the first day of Ramadan.
On this occasion, Al Daheri and the committee congratulated President His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, His Highness Sheikh Mohammad bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, Their Highnesses Supreme Council Members and Rulers of the Emirates, General Sheikh Mohammad bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Abu Dhabi Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, and other Crown Princes.
Saudi Arabia will also start Ramadan on Monday along with most other Gulf states, regional media said on Saturday.
Reports from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Lebanon, Kuwait and Qatar said the new moon had not been sighted after sunset on Saturday, indicating that Sunday would be regarded as the last day of the Muslim lunar month preceding Ramadan.
In Yemen, Ramadan will also start on Monday. In Oman the Moon-sighting Committee for the Holy Month of Ramadan for the year 1432 Hijri of the Ministry of Awqaf and Religious Affairs will hold a meeting on Sunday under the chairmanship of HE Sheikh Abdullah Bin Mohammed Al Salmi, Minister of Awqaf and Religious Affairs, at the ministry building.
His Eminence Sheikh Ahmed Bin Hamad Al Khalili, Grand Mufti of the Sultanate, and other members of the committee will receive information on sighting the moon from various wilayats and regions.
The ministry, in cooperation with judges and walis of wilayats, has formed local committees for the information on moon-sighting in each wilayat.
The ministry also conducted training courses for a number of astronomers who were selected from different wilayats to follow the emergence and movement of the crescent by using latest equipment.
Based on the astronomical calculations on the movement of sun, the earth, moon and the impact of other planets, Oman Tribune had published a report that the crescent of Ramadan 1432 H will be born at 22:40 and 54 seconds on July 30, where the sighting of the moon will be impossible in all regions of the Sultanate and all Arab and Islamic countries due to the fact that the crescent will be born after sunset on that day while its sighting could be difficult on July 31 from some regions of the Sultanate and some Arab and Islamic countries where it will stay in the Sultanate's sky for 21 minutes and 37 seconds.
In case the moon is sighted, the first day of Ramadan will be August 1.

2012 NAHA Winners Include 8 Grads from Paul Mitchell Schools!Posted By Paul Mitchell Schools
Wed Jul 25 2012 at 6:54 PM, Last Edit: Fri Oct 11 2013
(July 22, 2012 - Las Vegas) An audience of nearly 3,000 beauty professionals gathered at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas to celebrate the honorees of the prestigious 2012 North American Hairstyling Awards (NAHA) – including eight winners from Paul Mitchell Schools!
Nick Hemsley (right), graduate of Paul Mitchell The School Salt Lake City.
Nick was also a finalist in the Newcomer of the Year category.
Jasmine Gibbs, graduate of Cactus Academy, A Paul Mitchell Partner School
Jasmine was also a finalist in the Newcomer of the Year category.
Lunatic Fringe Salon Team, including Casie Norries, Chelsea Pearl Laterza, Steven Robertson, Cambo Kelly, Jeremy Mcdougle, and Rapha Bertelli, graduates of Paul Mitchell The School Salt Lake City. Both Lunatic Fringe and Paul Mitchell The School Salt Lake City are owned and directed by Shawn Truillo and Angie Katsanevas.
Paul Mitchell Schools' Dean and Cofounder Winn Claybaugh acknowledged all of the NAHA participants, saying: "How many hairdressers does it take to win NAHA? One hundred! One to do all the work, and 99 to stand by and say, 'Oh, I could've won that.' The fact is, while many stand on the sidelines, very few actually do the work and make the commitment to move ahead, take the scary risks, and eventually radically improve their careers. I personally want to honor and celebrate those who entered NAHA and those who won. You did what most will never do, and you are true visionaries!"
Jasmine Gibbs said, "I'm so proud to be a Paul Mitchell Alumni. . . . When I decided to go to beauty school I thought I would work in a small Brooklyn salon doing weaves. It wasn't until I discovered the Paul Mithell Schools Newsletter that I knew of the endless possibilities. I've been a nurse 7 years and never received an award nor a promotion. Two years in the beauty industry and I have a NAHA under my belt. It's because of passion and inspiring leaders . . . I thank you for an exceptional education and culture. I love what I do, who I do it for, and who I do it with!"

The Col. Frank J. Hecker House is located at 5510 Woodward Avenue (at the corner of East Ferry Avenue) in Midtown Detroit, Michigan. The mansion serves as the Royal Danish Consulate in Detroit. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1958,[2] is a contributing property to the East Ferry Avenue Historic District and Cultural Center Historic District, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.[1]
Colonel Frank J. Hecker[edit]
Frank J. Hecker was born in Freedom, Michigan in 1846.[3] He joined the Union Army at age 18,[3] and rose to the rank of Colonel.[4] After the conclusion of the Civil War, he hired on as an agent for the Union Pacific Railroad.[3] Using this experience, he later organized the Peninsular Car Company (with Charles Lang Freer, whose home is next to Hecker's) in Detroit, making his fortune in the railroad supply business.[4] Hecker served in the Army again in the Spanish-American War, where he was in charge of transporting Spanish prisoners.[3] This service brought him to the attention of President Theodore Roosevelt, who in 1904 appointed Hecker to the Panama Canal Commission.[3] Hecker also served as Detroit Police Commissioner, organized several banks in the midwest, and sat on the boards of the Detroit Copper and Brass Rolling Mills, Michigan Fire and Marine Insurance Company, and the Detroit Lumber Company.[3]
In 1888, Hecker hired architect Louis Kamper and began construction on the mansion at Woodward Avenue at the corner of Ferry. The Col. Frank J. Hecker House, with 21,000 square feet (1,951 m2), is an imposing example of French Châteauesque style based on the Château de Chenonceaux near Tours, France.[3] Hecker used his home to host elaborate parties where he entertained luminaries such as presidents William McKinley and Rutherford B. Hayes.[3]
The exterior of the home has large turrets at the corners, and Flemish dormers in the steep hip roof.[4] Several bays project from the main body of the home, and wrapped around the whole is a balustraded, colonnaded loggia.[4] A carriage house in the rear is clearly visible from Woodward. At one point this structure was converted into a concert hall capable of seating 200.[4]
The interior has 49 rooms, including a large oak-paneled hall designed for large parties, an oval dining room done in mahogany, a lobby done in English oak, and a white and gold music room.[4] The fireplaces were constructed of Egyptian Nubian marble and onyx and Italian Siena marble were used in the vestibules.[4]
Later Use[edit]
Col. Frank J. Hecker lived in the home until his death in 1927.[5] For the next twenty years, the home was owned by the Hecker family, but operated as a boarding house for single college students.[5]
In 1947, the mansion was sold to Paul Smiley[5] of the Smiley Brothers Music Company, who used it for musical instruction and practice as well as a sales office.[3] During this time, both the Detroit Chamber Music Workshop and Women's Symphony started on the premises.[3] When Smiley died in 1990, the building was sold to Charfoos & Christensen, P.C.[6] The firm rehabilitated the mansion, and it currently serves as their law offices.[5]
The mansion also serves as the Royal Danish Consulate in Detroit.[7]

Jack McKeon accepts the Marlins' job. So: how old is Jack McKeon?
Jun 20, 2011, 11:33 AM EDT
It's official: Jack McKeon has accepted the job as Marlins' interim manager.
As I said this morning, the McKeon-is-old jokes will grow tired soon. I think the "let's put Jack McKeon's age in perspective thing" has some legs, however. Not mocking his age, mind you, just noting his experience in the game and how having an 80-year-old manager sort of warps the general timeline.
Over at The Hardball Times, Chris Jaffe has a good look at all of that. Which makes sense considering he's a historian. The list goes on and on, but this may be my favorite entry:
McKeon is older than James Dean or Elizabeth Taylor. He's older than Mikhail Gorbachev or Ted Kennedy. He's older than Sam Cooke. He's older than Chuck Noll or Bill Walsh. He's older than Bud Selig and only 20 weeks younger than George Steinbrenner.
Good stuff. Check it out. And then root for Jack McKeon, because this is pretty cool.

"So: How old is Jack McKeon"?
About the same age as Jose Contreras.
- tuftsb - Jun 20, 2011 at 11:45 AM
Instead of 430pm meetings in the manager's office, they will adjourn to a local restaurant for the early bird special to discuss the lineup.
McKeon will also be warned to stop telling opposing infielders to "get off my lawn".
- halladaysbicepts - Jun 20, 2011 at 11:53 AM
McKeon: "Back in my day, we didn't use baseball gloves. We used our bare, crackled hands to catch balls. And that's the way we liked it"!
McKeon: "Back in my day, we didn't use batting helmets. Like my old coach Abner Doubleday used to tell me, if you can't take a baseball to the head, you can't play for me."

Great article by Chris Jaffe at your alma mater. Surprised you don't reference THT more often. Maybe we'll go hide over there once in a while from the Blue Network.

There's only one explanation for hiring such an old man to run a team that's loaded with a bunch of kids who are young enough to almost be his great-great Grandchildren, and that's because Marlins owner Loria badly wants to hire Ozzie Guillen away from the White Sox in time for the opening of their new stadium next season.
Ozzie won't come cheap though, as the White Sox have already picked up his option for next season, so if the White Sox are open to letting Ozzie pursue the Marlins job, it's likely going to cost the Marlins a top prospect in trade.

Old enough to know better. Which is why I'm so surprised to see him take this job.

Bowie Young takes early lead on short course
"We're just going to play through," Jacqui Concolino said with a smile to Park, Lewis and Nordqvist. They were walking off the seventh green and headed to No. 4. Juli Inkster, Catriona Matthew and Candie Kung were approaching the seventh green. There was a lot of traffic.
The Lewis trio got into carts, because the tee on par-4 fourth hole was moved to about 130 yards of the green. There was standing water in the fairways - it looked more like small ponds - though the problem was a large bunker right of the green that was unplayable. Tour officials couldn't afford players going into the bunker, and they made the muddy mess easier to avoid by making it a short par 3.
That's what surprised the players the most. Most of them were on board with a 12-hole course - remember, Prestwick was only 12 holes when the British Open was played on the links 15 times back in the day - in an effort to have a tournament. They just didn't realize there would be five par 3s. It felt like an executive course.
What made them unaware was that storms earlier in the week kept some of them from getting in a full practice round.
"Of the 12 holes that we played, I think I had seen seven and I had not seen five," Bowie Young said. "So maybe I shouldn't play practice rounds anymore."
Laura Davies had a 2-under 43. She was all smiles on her way to the golf course, and full of a few quips.
"This should be a lot of fun," Davies said. "I just hope I don't get disqualified if I can't find my way to the next tee. I'll just walk slow and follow everybody else."
LPGA Tour commissioner Mike Whan is trying to avoid a Monday finish because several players have U.S. Women's Open qualifying early next week.

Recently, I wanted to play it so I went to get the quest and realised I didn't even have EotN on my account. I got the box (the two in one) and found the game activation card with the key code already scratched out. I tried entering the code to get EotN, but it just tells me it's already used. How can I get EotN?

Indians of North America
As every baby who's ever beaten a spoon against her high chair knows, there's nothing more fun than the rhythm of a pounding drum sound. Fast or slow, loud or soft, people around the world use the drum to build community spirit.
Everybody knows that the Pilgrims celebrated the first Thanksgiving, right? Well, probably not, but it was the Pilgrims' Thanksgiving that gave us our Thanksgiving holiday as we know it today.
The Pilgrims came to the New World looking for a way to worship God as they wished. They were not Puritans. Puritans wanted to change the Church of England to do away with its bishops but keep its ties to the government. The Puritans went on to settle the Massachusetts Bay Colony. The Pilgrims at the Plymouth Colony were Separatists.
Take a moment to savor the summer delights and craft some new traditions while learning the legends of summer.
Ancient Stargazers
By Jane Kosa
Pocahontas, the Powhatan princess who befriended the Jamestown colonists, married the Englishman John Rolfe in 1614, and is believed by many to have saved John Smith's life -- that is why the world knows the Powhatan Confederacy. Her father, Powhatan, almost alone, united the small scattered Algonquian tribes of present-day Virginia and Delaware into a thirty tribe group in the late 1500s. We know this group as the Powhatan Confederacy. The Confederacy included 128 Algonquian villages and 20,000+ people at its peak in the early 1600s.
The tribes who lived in the Western Hemisphere before the coming of the Europeans were as different from each other as the countries that came to claim their lands. The many stories of the people who farmed, hunted, and herded in the plains, forests, deserts, and hills of what we call North America tell how they saw the Universe and the wisdom that they found in Nature.

"Going forward, we just have to consolidate this and continue doing what we're doing to help people get onto their first choice of programs at university.
"Our job is to broaden their horizons and encourage them to go further in life. I've been here for three years and this is the first time we've seen a pass rate like this so I'm very proud."

D'Antoni hopes Lakers start playing like Knicks
NEW YORK Mike D'Antoni never built the team he wanted in New York. Now he looks at the Knicks and sees what he would like his Lakers to become.
D'Antoni returns to Madison Square Garden on Thursday for the first time since resigning as Knicks coach last March, hoping to see the type of performance his new team hasn't demonstrated nearly enough.
The Knicks were a disappointment last season, with D'Antoni saying things went "sideways" right from the start. Things haven't been much better in Los Angeles, where the Lakers are playing without injured starters Steve Nash and Pau Gasol.
While they struggle, the Knicks have surged to the top of the Eastern Conference, with Carmelo Anthony playing at a level he never reached under D'Antoni.
"They're playing the way I would like for us to play," D'Antoni said after the Lakers' morning workout. "They're spreading the floor and one of the best things they do is they're not turning it over and they shoot 3s, and those are two big stats for winning and they do it the best in the league."
The Knicks, still using some aspects of D'Antoni's offense under Mike Woodson, lead the NBA with 12 3-pointers per game while committing a league-low average of 10.5 turnovers.
Anthony is playing at an MVP level after struggling last season in D'Antoni's offense, which was baffling because of how well he's performed in it with the U.S. Olympic team.
D'Antoni stepped down in March when it became clear he and Anthony weren't going to be able to find a way to make it work and save the season. The Knicks then went 18-6 under Woodson before racing to a 16-5 start this season.
D'Antoni said he doesn't regret his time in New York and doesn't hold any resentment toward the Knicks, even after Anthony admitted he played harder under Woodson than he did under D'Antoni.
"Things got sideways," D'Antoni said. "It was a shortened season and people were hurt and we were trying to battle through stuff and I was probably getting a little anxious and we didn't get there quick enough. But you learn from it, you move on, and what they're doing now is good."
What the Lakers are doing isn't so good.
They entered Thursday's game with three straight losses and a 9-13 record. Though D'Antoni concedes sometimes the team's focus and spirit are down, the bigger problem is its health. Gasol was set to miss his sixth straight game Thursday with tendinitis in his knees and Nash still isn't back after breaking his leg in the second game of the season.
But the two-time MVP point guard under D'Antoni in Phoenix has been running and getting closer to a return, giving D'Antoni hope of a turnaround that never came once things went bad last season.
"We thought it was going to a marriage made in heaven because Nash was here," D'Antoni said. "Well, I haven't seen him yet."
D'Antoni has said he regretted rushing into a decision to leave Phoenix in 2008, rather than realize what he had with Nash. He took the Knicks job for four years and $24 million, but never had a great shot at winning. His first two seasons were spent shedding high-salary players so they could be far under the salary cap in the summer of 2010, when LeBron James led the free agency class.

"I loved this announcement. I had newborn photos taken professionally. For the announcement I used a fall themed picture and it matched perfectly with the orange on the card. The cards are nice and thick. The bows on the back were a cute touch. I got a lot of great feedback from everyone I sent these to. I am also very impressed with the quickness that I received them."
"Wonderful design, really happy with the orange color and the painterly style. Excited to send this out. Wish the print quality a little more crisp but overall very happy with the end result."
"I love the bright colors and ability to showcase more than one photo. The delivery was so quick on both my initial order and my re-order. Thank you for your great customer service!"
"We love these announcements! I opted to add an additional photo on the back and it came out awesome! would definitely recommend these."
"We used this card with full color pictures, and the printing came out great. I put a photo on the back with the patterned background, which was a little busy, but still cute. Very well designed, great printing job, and the shipment delivered early!! I would totally recommend this card!"

More Than Word(s)
Ways to deal with MS Word documents using Linux and to create platform-independent documents.
by Jan Schaumann
We are told that Microsoft Word files can be viewed in any text editor, which probably is why so many people insist on sending even simple text documents as big Word attachments: "These download files are in Microsoft Word 6.0 format. After unzipping, these files can be viewed in any text editor, including all versions of Microsoft Word, WordPad and Microsoft Word Viewer" (from Microsoft's web site). How often do you receive an e-mail with a Word document attached because the sender simply assumes that everyone uses Microsoft Word (presuming they think about it at all)? Not only is it dangerous for anyone actually using Word to open attachments that might possibly contain macroviruses, but for anyone not using any of Microsoft's products, they have become a real nuisance. Actually, even people who do have MS Word need to make sure they have the latest version (and possibly buy an upgrade) because the discrepancies between the various versions are so large that sometimes Word can't read Word. This article tries to make your (office) life a bit easier by elaborating on the various possibilities of dealing with these dreaded documents.
Short of rejecting any documents not in standard format (more on this later), there is no optimal way of dealing with MS Word documents in Linux. As mentioned above, sometimes even Word can't read Word. There are, however, a number of approaches to opening most documents and even preserving the format.
There are the full-fledged word processors (very similar to Microsoft Word), a few file converters and some rather unconventional means of extracting the information out of a .doc file. Depending on your needs, you may choose different solutions in different situations.
If you need to do a lot of word processing and often exchange documents with coworkers, you most certainly will want to install a complete office suite. An office suite comes with, among other things, a word processor that lets you read (and sometimes write) various MS Word formats, even though they all have their own document formats as well. The most common office suites available for Linux are Applixware Office, Corel WordPerfect Office 2000, KOffice and StarOffice (OpenOffice).
Of all the above, Applixware Office is the only one not available at no cost. However, Applix was kind enough to provide me with a copy of their software for this article (retail price is $99 US). I received a few colorful boxes containing a copy of Applixware Office, Applixware Words (standalone) and Applixware Spreadsheets (standalone). The Office package came with a beautiful handbook, something that I would certainly appreciate, once I set it up.
Eager to test the new software, I attempted to install Applixware Words, following the instructions in the manual. As I run Debian, I do not mind the fact that the instructions to install per RPM are missing a step (you need to change the directories once more to find the RPM-install script, which was not mentioned), and I happily executed the setup binary.
At first, things seemed to go smoothly, but then closed-software practices took their toll. There appears to be a small bug in the install scripts that made it impossible for me to install the software. When I attempted to install into /opt/applix (as suggested by the program), the error log told me after the failed installation that it apparently tried to install to /optapplix, even though it created /opt/applix.
This would be just a minor nuisance if the user was able to edit the install script, but as this is closed software, there was nothing I could do. I tried /opt/applix and a few other tricks, but to no avail.
Due to unmet dependencies (on a Debian system, it appears as if I did not have any of the most basic RPMs installed) the RPM install fails as well, so that in my last attempt to install Applixware Words, I generated .deb packages from the RPMs using alien:
mkdir /tmp/applix cp cdrom/RPMS/*.rpm /tmp/applix/ cd /tmp/applix/ alien *.rpm ... dpkg -i --force-overwrite *.deb
This seemed to install the packages, but running the application led to several errors. I finally gave up and wrote an e-mail to Applix to inquire about these problems.
While word of mouth has it that this is a solid product—an advantage of this suite is that its native file format is plain ASCII text with the specifications freely available from the web site, which makes it easy to write import/export filters—these kinds of problems are rather frustrating.
The advantage of having a nice printed manual with a (supposedly) fine product is, in my opinion, outweighed by the fact that it's closed software. I can't go in and try to fix errors myself, which leaves me helpless.

The Palestinian Revolution Will Be Tweeted
Israeli P.R. fights on a new front
On Nakba Day, Israel faced hostility on four borders: Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, and Lebanon. Yet as another flotilla prepares to sail and as the Palestinians prepare to head for Turtle Bay in September, a different front is on Israel's mind. I speak, of course, of the dread Twitter. "We are intensively preparing ahead of September," Chaim Shacham, the Foreign Ministry's head of information and Internet, tells Haaretz. ("Think of him as the Israeli government's tweeter.") Well jeeze, I mean Jews do run the Internet, this shouldn't be that difficult?
Twitter hasbara turns out to be complicated though. "For instance," says a Foreign Ministry spokesperson, using the flotilla as an example, "it isn't enough to say there's a maritime blockade—we have to explain where it can be under international law. Since the explanation is a complex legal one, which contradicts the simplicity of messages by Twitter or Facebook, we have to distill the complex messages in a more accessible way, and send links to legal sources."
So basically, the Internet is the new bumper sticker. With links.

As part of a new initiative, police will be able to build cases - paperless - from the street
By Alice Philipson
The Telegraph
United Kingdom — Wi-Fi will be introduced in nearly 500 courtrooms across England and Wales, bringing centuries of paper-based tradition to an end.
As part of the £160 million initiative, to be announced today, evidence given in court will no longer be presented on paper and will appear on screen by the end of 2016.
The process of storing evidence digitally will begin with police, who are to record incidents on smartphones, enabling them to start building case files from the street.

Being fairly new to airheads and motorcycles in general, I futz with things here and there not really knowing where to check. End up pushing to the road and bump starting, but with no voltmeter to tell me anything about the status of the charging system. I ride out of town a few miles, figuring I'll stop on a hill, test it, then roll back into Stovepipe if things don't work out. As you might guess, things didn't work out.
Here I am sitting at the side of the road frustrated and debating who to call first when I get back to Stovepipe Wells when a fellow airhead from the rally rides up and asks if everything is OK. I tell him the situation, he checks that the Gen light doesn't come on, then says "Probably the alternator rotor. I've got a spare. I'm gonna tell you how to install it but you're gonna do all the work. Get out your tool roll!" Front cover off of the bike in a few minutes, rotor bolt out with a few more minutes of cursing, tapping, and "gentle" coaxing, and an hour or so later we've got it up and running! He sends me off with his email address, says he'll shadow me to the next town, but with any luck won't see me again until the next event.
So, now I need to order some jumper cables, a pocket multimeter, and an Enduralast charger, but the question I have for you guys - what do I order to put in the box with the rotor when I ship it back to its home?
And lastly - what a community! That knowledge not only saved my bacon this time - but will help me be better prepared the next time I see a rider stuck on the road.
Since it's hard to ship a case of beer......Wrap the rotor with a "C - Note".
or a sporting goods store gift certificate might be a good idea too.
....or better yet, prepare yourself to help out others as he did you. I always carry a lot of spares plus extra Bing Carb diaphragms. I've only used one of them for myself. Three others have gone to other riders on the road for free....that's what it's all about.
I was at DV too....what a great time!

Off the wall From the first known anamorphic drawing – Leonardo da Vinci's 1485 sketch of an eye, which had to be turned to the side to be seen properly – to digital images created by psychologists and neuroscientists, optical illusions are much more than Magic Eye posters. A new book, Illusion Confusion, surveys the ways in which artists have confounded us since the Renaissance. Here, a trompe-l'oeil wall mural by John Pugh in Los Gatos, California, recalls an earthquake that hit the town in 1989; the jaguars are a reference to the city's name and to Tepeyollotl, the Aztec god of earthquakes and jaguars. (John Pugh/Thames & Hudson) Invisible man Renowned for his camouflage art, Liu Bolin has covered himself in paint to blend in with backgrounds ranging from the Freedom Tower in New York and the Great Wall of China to a coal heap and cinema seats. The Chinese artist uses a team of assistants to perform his visual trickery: in a TED talk last year, he said the images were a way of speaking for those rendered invisible by the Chinese government, by consumer culture or by the circumstances of history. (Klein Sun Gallery) Feeling peaky This rock formation on Cannon Mountain in New Hampshire was first noted in 1805; it collapsed on 3 May, 2003.

(Thames & Hudson) Towering vision While these two photographs of the Leaning Tower of Pisa are identical, one appears to be leaning more than the other.

The Supreme Court will hear on Tuesday a special leave petition filed by the Karnataka High Court challenging the orders passed by Justice D.V. Shylendra Kumar, heading a Division Bench, questioning the administrative powers of Chief Justice P.D. Dinakaran.
A vacation Bench of Justices Deepak Verma and K.S. Radhakrishnan agreed to list the matter for Tuesday when senior counsel Uday Holla mentioned the urgency of the issue and said Justice Shylendra Kumar was to take up the case in the afternoon.
Counsel submitted that even after it was brought to the notice of Justice Shylendra Kumar on Monday morning that the Supreme Court was to hear the matter, the judge had called for the files from the High Court Registrar and heard them (Registrar-General and others) in the open court. Justice Verma said: "We have not read the papers, we need time to go through. We will take it up tomorrow [on Tuesday]."
In its SLP, the High Court alleged that while hearing a tax/customs matter, a Division Bench of Justices Shylendra Kumar and N. Ananda, questioned the administrative decisions taken by Justice Dinakaran and had sought information from the Registrar-General about the roaster of judges and allocation of work for judges of the principal and circuit Benches.
It said Justice Shylendra Kumar had questioned the decision of the Chief Justice not listing the tax matter on a particular date before the circuit Bench at Dharwar which he was presiding.
The Chief Justice had taken a decision that the matter would be heard later when they return to the Principal Bench in Bangalore.
The Bench called for the records as if to sit in appeal over the decision of the Chief Justice. The Registrar-General and Registrar (Judicial) were directed to file an explanation and the matter was listed for June 4, 9, 10 and 11.
On June 9, Justice Shylendra Kumar made some comments, viz., "Who is the Chief Justice? What authority does he have? The Chief Justice could be the highest authority, but he cannot alter judicial orders. It is dereliction on the part of the Chief Justice, if he is altering the order of others …by doing so the High Court has lost its sanctity."
The SLP said it was a settled law that the Chief Justice was the Master of the Roster and he alone would decide how Benches of the High Courts had to be constituted and work distributed among the judges.
That apart, Justice Shylendra Kumar had been berating the Chief Justice in open court in intemperate language with a view to ensuring that the same was printed in the news media.
The SLP said: "This has gone on for four continuous days and presently the matter is directed to be listed today [June 14] with a further direction to produce more documents and records in order to again sit in appeal over the orders of Chief Justice relating to the assignment of roasters, constitution of Benches, which is within the sole domain of Chief Justice, with a view to further denigrate him questioning his authority."

clam bell pepper chowder
I decided to take a clam chowder recipe and modify it. This has turned out to be a thinner version of clam chowder (more of a soup texture), with a few additions and other changes. While it is high in fat, the fat is majoritively healthy.
1 Yellow or Orange Bell Pepper, finely chopped
1/2 Small Onion, finely chopped
1 1/2 Tbs Organic Butter or Olive Oil
3 C Milk and/or Half n' Half
1/2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Pepper
1/2 tsp Salt
1 6oz can of Clams
Optional: 2 spicy sausage, cooked, drained and chopped.
Saute bell pepper and onion in the butter or olive oil until they are soft (about 5 minutes)
In Medium saucepan mix milk/half n' half, oregano, pepper, salt, pepper, onion and entire can of clams (including juice). Heat on low until hot. Avoid boiling.
It is all ready to serve. Place chopped sausage in your bowl of soup and enjoy!
i love clam chowder. any macro breakdown?

Hazen Union High wins frog dissection software from PETA
HARDWICK — Biology class may never be the same.
Students at Hazen Union School in Hardwick will be saving the lives of a few amphibians this semester as they learn about anatomy with a dissection simulator.
The software, Digital Frog 2.5, was the prize awarded to Hazen Union by the education arm of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals after science teacher Teal Church submitted the winning essay in a contest explaining why the school deserved the new tool. The students started using it this month.
According to PETA, the tool allows students to "cut" tissue by using a digital scalpel to explore the animal's anatomy. And unlike dead frogs that have been dissected the old-fashioned way — with knives — PETA says the software teaches students about how frogs' living bodies work and about their natural habitats.
"We're delighted to help Ms. Church and Hazen Union take the lead in teaching biology with humane, modern methods," said PETA's senior vice president of laboratory investigations, Kathy Guillermo, in a news release.MORE IN This Just InStephen Goldberg is back with a vengeance.

The IET Strategy was developed in 2009 and sets the direction and focus of the IET.
Our Strategy lays out what the IET intends to achieve and outlines how it will be achieved. It sets the direction and focus of the IET and the journey we will take. For more information, please take a look at our IET Strategy presentation below.
At the highest level, the strategy defines how the IET fulfills its vision and mission.
Thousands of IET volunteers fulfil critical roles in achieving the IET's vision mission, and, as the "people on the ground", can often react more quickly to the changing needs of IET members and customers.

Air National Guard 2nd Lt. Lonnie J. Sackett has graduated from the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training (ENJJPT) program conducted by the 80th Flying Training Wing at Sheppard Air Force Base, Wichita Falls, Texas.
The 55-week training program, sponsored by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is designed to produce pilots qualified for assignment to military fighter aircraft as part of NATO's flying force. The multinational program trains approximately 250 undergraduate pilots from the U.S. and 13 participating NATO nations each year.
The student pilots receive 256 hours of flight training in T-37 and T-38 aircraft, and 537 hours of ground training in academics, officer development, physical training, and other required subjects. Specific hours are used to achieve special skills needed to prepare the student pilot for follow-on training in fighter aircraft and acclimate pilots to adverse weather conditions and restricted airspace as experienced in Europe.
Sackett is a fighter pilot assigned to the 82nd Training Wing at Sheppard Air Force Base, Texas. The second lieutenant has served in the military for two years. He is a resident of Wichita Falls, Texas. When not on active duty, Sackett is a financial analyst for IBM.
He is the son of Franklin and Deborah Sackett, Zimmerman, and grandson of Leonard Johnson of Big Lake.
Sackett graduated in 2006 from Elk River High School, and received a bachelor of science in 2010 from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis.

Charges Filed in Ambulance Crash
By AP
Oklahoma City, OK – EMSA driver faces negligent homicide charge
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) Prosecutors have lodged a negligent homicide charge against an EMSA ambulance driver for a traffic crash that killed a man.
The ambulance's lights and sirens were activated during the Dec. 10 crash in which 43-year-old Fidel Mesa-Solis was killed. The emergency medical technician who was driving the ambulance, 36-year-old Benjamin Ward Samples, was charged Monday.
The Oklahoman reports Samples was going 83 mph in the wrong direction on Northwest 10 when he hit Mesa-Solis' vehicle on the driver side.
Sample's attorney, Ed Blau, says his client was following all of EMSA's procedures and protocols when the crash occurred and that he is innocent of the charge. He also says Samples is "devastated by the tragedy."
