And Useful Ones, at that!
In my opinion (and quite likely yours too!), Steve Jobs should have won. Even though he is dead. He didn't even make the Runners-Up List.
TIME thinks these protesters (including the Guy Fawkes Masked Protesters, pictured above: they're from Russia BTW) positively contributed to their respective societies. Nothing could be further from the truth…especially the ones who "protested" all over the Middle East. And guess what, they got EXACTLY what they really wanted: Mohammedan Democracy. One Man, One Vote, One Time Only! And Destroy the JOOOOOOS!
Next, they will all sing the Muslim National Anthem™! Good going, TIME. NOT.

I hear there's this huge-a** freeway closure in LA this weekend. A 10-mile stretch of the 405 is scheduled to be closed for repairs, and people are in a panic. Gee I wonder why.
Along comes actor Tom Hanks of the Film Actors' Guild, who tweets his followers:
Imagine that!

I haven't done one of these in a while. So let's get right to it!
FREEDOM OF WORSHIP - NOT: Remember folks, the Mohammedans want East Jerusalem as their "capital" for a future Paleostinian State. I…don't…think…so!
WHAT THE F**K WAS THAT: No, I'm not talking about the Mayor of Hiroshima on August 6, 1945. I'm referring to Президент Обама's reaction to his dressing down by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
And speaking of that…let's see the contempt Обама has for Bibi:

I don't get a lot of content out from these folks anyway. There are those who do and I'm sure they will be more than willing to pay. And true to form, they announce that there are ways to get around the paywall. Sayeth Times publisher Arthur Sulzberger:
"We did create something purposely porous.
"Can people go around the system? The answer is yes. There are going to be ways.
"Just as if you run down Sixth Avenue right now and you pass a newsstand and grab the paper and keep running you can actually get the Times free."
Paging Mr. Barrett Brown and Anonymous….

The words of a certain poem, last prominently displayed in The Stand, comes to mind:
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
Indeed. Couldn't have happened to a more perky lady. And she wants to go back to daytime. Gee I wonder why.

Eastern Time Zone Goes First…
Friday, February 25, 2011
I hope my wife doesn't kick my a** for using that euphemism, but it is so appropriate here.
According to The Daily Caller, Wisconsin's Senate may be able to move toward elimination of the collective
bargaining extortion tool away from the Public Sector Unions…by stripping it away from the spending legislation currently sitting there, due to the Demo☭rats' running away to the Народная Республика Ильиной for Sanctuary:
Wisconsin's Senate needs a quorum, or 20 senators, to proceed on any spending or fiscal business. There are only 19 Republican state senators, and because all the Democrats fled, the Senate can't hold a vote on Gov. Scott Walker's budget. But a quorum isn't needed for most non-spending legislation.
Newly elected state Sen. Leah Vukmir, a Tea Party favorite, told The Daily Caller the Senate could separate the removal of collective bargaining rights for state and local employees from the spending bill if the Democrats refuse to return. Vukmir said she's not yet sure if Wisconsin's Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald will do so, but said it's a possibility.
The State Assembly has already voted through the measure. If the State Senate utilizes this tactic, I'm guessing it will have to go through some sort of conference committee, if this is provided for in their State Constitution. to bring the two of them together.
What a way to stick it to those chickens**t Demo☭rats! Meanwhile, here's a sign carried by a Pro-Union demonstrator:
Go figure.

Once again, Президент Оба́ма shows the world that everything he touches turns to s**t:
• The Olympics (Chicago losing bid to Rio)
• The World Cup (USA losing bid to Qatar)
• The Super Bowl (Pittsburgh loses to Green Bay)
I know I have lost count on the number of political stuff he's done the same with. Let's see what else is on the wires:
RUSSIAN LAWMAKER FLEES TO USA: He obviously does not Dance The Poot. I don't think Оба́ма, Холдер, or the Department of Social Justice will let him stay here.
HUFFPO BOUGHT OUT BY…AOHELL: AOHell really IS...AOHell. Let's see how many 'refugees' end up at one of three sites: DU, Kos, or LGF.
GLOBAL WARMING HITS MEXICO: I highly doubt Manbearpig will show his face there, lest he gets lynched.
Tuesday, January 18, 2011
While I'm waiting for this to actually occur, let's see what's out on the wires:
PLAYING GOD: Doesn't matter if it's with dogs or mammoths. It's not a good idea at all.
A GAYLE KING FOR EVERYONE: Sorry, Harpo, but I don't want to be teh ghey. Good thing you didn't kill yourself and your baby back in the day.
PRAY FOR DICK CHENEY: He hasn't decided yet whether to go for a heart transplant, but he will soon.

Might as well take care of this now, before I encounter the last-minute rush at Wal-Mart and the Post Office. First, yet another Unholy Christmas Carol, this one is from Mad About Mahmoud:
And then, some wire stories:
SADDAM TIMES LA FOOD CRITIC OUTED: Quick, where's my violin?
PAT ROBERTSON QUESTIONS POT LAWS: I thought he sowed his wild oats back in the day…
Friday, December 10, 2010
I don't know what's worse….this?
All I can say about the dead actors is that their estates had better protect their likenesses from Lucas' macabre idea. Now about the de-aging: I seem to recall that both Patrick Stewart and Sir Ian McKellan were digitally de-aged for X-Men 3: The Last Stand a few years ago. So that's OLD NEWS.
Now how about this?
The latter story also seems OLD NEWS to me. I seem to recall Cher dressing like this on several other occasions…during the 1990s!
Like I said: I report, you decide.

Now check these two license plate designs. One from the Commonwealth of Virginia, the other from the Lone Star State of Texas:
One other state has a proposal in the works: Nevada. This presents an excellent discussion topic, for I seen quite a few Gadsden Flag bumper stickers on their vehicles.
Should other states adopt this for a specialty plate? Yes or No? This discussion will remain open for 14 days, so y'all can get comments in.

I hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving. We didn't have our dinner until well after 2000 hours, becuase my wife had to work. So I stayed home and saw The Loins get their a**es kicked by The Patriots…whose last TD was marred by three Unsportsmanlike Conduct penalties by The Loins! Two of these were assessed on the ensuing Pats' kickoff from The Loins' 40-yard line. And it went straight through the uprights!
The other NFL traditional game saw The Saints defeat The Cowboys. A much closer contest for sure. And the Rotating game saw the Jets beat The Bengals.
OK, enough Football talk. Here's what on the wires:
WALKING EAGLE LOSES COLORADO JOB: Ward Churchill is called this because he's so full of s**t, he can't fly!
WIKILEAKS THREATENS FOGGY BOTTOM: Does anyone have any good ideas as to what to do with this site and/or its founder? I wish I did.
أوباما's GRANDMOTHER PRAYS FOR CONVERSION: Um…guess she doesn't know her own culture.
If you don't like what I have to say...
"And the rock cried out, 'O Infidel! There is a Muslim hiding under me, come and kill him!'"

It would be nice if the liquid cooling and new design allows intervals of 12k or 18k. With my 07 I don't worry too much about where I will be when it's time for a service. I can easily carry the few tools needed to do it. I've done it more than once in a parking lot in a 3rd world country and it isn't a big deal. No concerns about finding the right shim or waiting for it, or finding what shim I need only to find out it isn't quickly available and having to put things back together and deal with it at a later time when the shim can be had.

Jackie Murray spent a portion of her day earlier this week typing and preparing an agenda for the Clinton City Board of Education meeting. As the administrative assistant to the superintendent and the board, Murray has attended many meetings and typed up many agendas.
But on Friday that will all end with her retirement. "I'm passing the gauntlet, sort of speaking," she said.
After 35 years of work in administration, Murray is officially retiring Aug. 1. Nacole Hayes will take over the duties of the position. Some of it includes providing assistance to the superintendent, setting up board agendas and corresponding with board members to keep them abreast of things going on in the district.
"I really like working in education, knowing that it helps our children to get what they need to be successful in life," Murray said. "I know it's not a direct instruction kind of thing, but I know it takes all of us to do our part to help that process."
She has loved her job, she said.
"I used to tell people, I'm a secretary to the bone," she asserted. "I know we're called administrative assistants now, but back then we were secretaries."
But the goal is to help administrators become successful.
"That's the way I always felt," she stressed. "I want to do the best job I can to make whoever I'm working with look good and be the best they can be."
That philosophy goes for the school system too.
"I love Clinton City Schools because I'm a product of Clinton City Schools," she asserted. "I think we have a great office here and our staff is just wonderful. It takes all of us working together to get the job done."
Murray said she wants to spend more time with her family and provide more assistance to her parents, A.E. and Velma Spell.
"I will miss the people here," she noted about her coworkers at the central office. "With my years of working with Clinton City Schools, I've seen a lot of people come and I've seen a lot of people go. It's like my extended or second family."
She is married to Charles Murray and together they have one daughter, Heather Watson, who is married to Derek. Jackie and Charles are the grandparents of Gabby, 13, and Gloria, 11.
"We all live in the same general area," Murray said. "They go to the county schools so sometimes I help them get on the bus in the mornings."
The grandmother plans to watch her grandchildren's sport activities more as well, something retirement will afford her the opportunity to do.
The Sampson County native was raised on Clinton's Ferrell Street and graduated from Clinton High School in 1973. Her education continued at Sampson Community College (SCC), where she earned a secretarial science degree, studying under the executive secretary program.
"The executive secretary had to learn shorthand," Murray said while discussing the college's programs. "When I was in school, that was a big thing. But people don't need that anymore because people type their own stuff in the computer. I'll say it's a dinosaur."
Prior to the Clinton City system, she worked with SCC for five years as an administrative assistant in the business department. Next, she worked in an attorney's office before heading to CCS in 1982.
After living in other areas, she returned to Clinton City Schools in 1989. About 28 of her 35 years were spent with the city school system.
Murray and her husband took a hiatus from Sampson County after living briefly in Morehead City and West Virginia, where Charles pastored at churches. She provided assistance to the schools in Morehead City.
"But mostly I've been right here in Sampson County," she said.
When she's not spending time with family members, she enjoys scrapbooking, knitting, cross stitching, Sudoku and attending The Church of God.
"I'm looking forward to retirement, but I will miss the people here at Clinton City Schools," Murray said. "I really enjoyed it and having a set structured day. It's going to be different. Everybody is telling me that I'm going to be busy, and I expect I will."
After working with Murray for the last time during a Monday work session, new school board chairman Jason Walters said she will be missed.
"She certainly is a vital part of our school system," Walters said. "She's one of the people who make everything work. I'm pretty sure Nacole is going to be able to step in, but we're really going to miss her."
Superintendent Stuart Blount said he's going to miss Murray, too.
"Mrs. Murray has provided a tremendous amount of expertise in her position," Blount said. "She'll be sorely missed, but we wish her the best in her new endeavor."

From the Publisher"Mystical and miserable, tragic and hilarious, like Irish life itself. An utterly absorbing book that will bring some comfort to families afflicted with this strange condition." —Malachy McCourt, author, A Monk Swimming: A Memoir
"For more than a century, the prevalence of schizophrenia in Ireland was among the highest in the world. Patrick Tracey's important and engaging book describes his search to understand why, and the effects the disease has had on his own Irish-American family." —E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., coauthor, The Invisible Plague: The Rise of Mental Illness from 1790 to the Present:
"With courage, humor, and rare insight through the tangles of history, biology, and culture, Tracey tracks that ghost in the brain, which is always ready in any generation to randomly strike his family down. This book is an original. Pick it up and you won't be able to put it down."—Shane Connaughton, screenwriter, My Left Foot and author, A Border Station
"With heartbreaking candor and poetic vision, Tracey recounts a spiritual and scientific pilgrimage that will resonate for all siblings who have witnessed a brother's or sister's descent into madness."—Jeanne Safer, Ph.D., author of The Normal One: Life with a Difficult or Damaged Sibling
"Be prepared to put all else aside: this is a fascinating descent into the dark soul of madness. Tracey's brave and compelling search for his family's psychological origins swept me up like a literary thriller."—Terri Cheney, author of Manic: A Memoir
"Stalking Irish Madness is obviously a must-read for families, especially Irish families, that have been affected by this most severe form of mental illness…. The fragile, human story at its core is beautiful and devastating."–Minneapolis Star-Tribune
"[T]his book helps to dispel misconceptions about schizophrenia and reveals the various attempts by experts to make sense of this mental illness." —Publishers Weekly
"A brilliant meditation on Irish people's vexed relationship with the mind and its matters."–Irish Voice

Rosol Reaches First Final In Bucharest; Garcia-Lopez Tops Mayer
Bucharest, Romania
by ATP Staff|
Lukas Rosol will bid to lift his first ATP World Tour trophy Sunday in Bucharest after a stellar performance saw the Czech oust three-time champion Gilles Simon 6-2, 6-3 in Saturday's semi-finals at the BRD Nastase Tiriac Trophy. Rosol will square off against Guillermo Garcia-Lopez for the first time in an all-unseeded final.
"I knew that I could beat him if I played good tennis," said Rosol. "I'm happy because today my game was working really well. Tomorrow I hope to win my first final. I have a good record at Challengers, where I only lost one of my six finals. So I hope that I can continue this good run. For sure, this tournament will always be in my memory since I reached my first final here."
Most widely remembered for his stunning second-round upset over Rafael Nadal at Wimbledon last year, Rosol was contesting his first tour-level semi-final against Simon. For the second straight day, the World No. 48 stepped up on his serve when it counted most, erasing all eight break points he faced to dismiss the second-seeded Frenchman in 78 minutes, knocking off his third seeded opponent of the week. Simon saw his 16-match win streak at the event come to an end.
"I was not playing well with my backhand and gave him too many easy points. I only started playing well in the middle of the second set and that ended up being too late," Simon said. "Lukas was confident, got off a great start and played some beautiful points. I'm obviously very disappointed about losing in the semi-finals here."
In his past two matches, Rosol has saved 18 break points en route to the title match. The 27 year old is looking to become the third first-time winner this season, with Bernard Tomic triumphing at the Apia International Sydney (d. Anderson) and Horacio Zeballos topping Rafael Nadal at the VTR Open in Vina del Mar.
Garcia-Lopez has put together an equally impressive run, also toppling three seeds to reach the final. A day after knocking out World No. 10 Janko Tipsarevic, Garcia-Lopez backed up the victory by defeating fifth seed and 2011 titlist Florian Mayer 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 in two hours and nine minutes.
"I'm really happy right now. It's [been] a long time since I played in a final," said Garcia-Lopez. "I feel really good. Every match here, I've played three sets. So that makes me confident because I've been winning the matches in the last set."
The Spaniard is aiming to win his first title since October 2010, when he shocked Nadal en route to capturing the crown at the Thailand Open in Bangkok (d. Nieminen). Entering the month of April, the 87th-ranked Garcia-Lopez was winless in six tour-level matches, but has since advanced to the quarter-finals of the Grand Prix Hassan II in Casablanca (l. to Wawrinka) and finished runner-up at the Rome Challenger (l. to Reister).

Hungary ready to discuss standby deal with IMF
BUDAPEST, Hungary Hungary struggled through a poor bond auction Thursday and its top financial negotiator said his nation was open to working out a standby loan with the International Monetary Fund.
Negotiator Tamas Fellegi insisted that Hungary was still able to finance its debts from the markets - but that time appeared to be rapidly evaporating.
Hungary's debt management agency sold less than the full amount on offer at an auction of 12-month Treasury bills, with the average yield rising to 9.96 percent - more than 2 percentage points higher than at a similar auction Dec. 22. That is also significantly higher than the 7 percent level that forced three other European nations to seek bailouts.
With Hungary's credit rating cut to junk status by two U.S. ratings agencies and possible recession looming in 2012, the Central European nation's finances are on the edge. It has been hard hit by the debt crisis in the eurozone - by far its biggest export market - and the government has struggled to boost economic growth amid anemic domestic consumption and large debt burdens in both the public and private sectors.
Adding to its woes, Hungary has been in a standoff of late with international financial institutions over a new law that reduces the independence of its central bank.
"I can negotiate a safety net for Hungary, a financial solution with reasonable conditions we can agree to. This was never in doubt," Fellegi said.
"The determined will of the government is to achieve a fast agreement" with the IMF and the European Union, he added. "The government is aware of the severity of the situation and what is at stake in the IMF negotiations."
The country's currency, the forint, hit a new low early Thursday at over 324 per euro, but recovered slightly after Fellegi's news conference. It was still under pressure at around 320 per euro at mid-afternoon in Europe.
Analysts said Fellegi needs to act fast.
"The alternative to an IMF-EU financial aid package appears dire," said a report from French banking group BNP Paribas.
Without an agreement offering Hungary some euro15 billion ($19.5 billion) to euro20 billion ($26 billion), "Hungary would find it difficult to repay maturing external sovereign debt or refinance it on the market at a reasonable cost," the bank said.
Fellegi said he would travel to Washington next week to hopefully conclude preparatory talks with the IMF, but it seemed that a requested meeting afterward in Brussels with EU Economic Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn will not produce results.
"We could meet with them, mainly as a courtesy, but it will be clear that financial assistance will not be on the agenda," said an EU official, speaking on condition of anonymity to fully discuss the EU's position. The official dismissed Fellegi's comments about how Hungary can borrow money on the markets as not credible.
In 2008, Hungary accepted an IMF bailout of euro20 billion ($26 billion), but in 2010, under the leadership of conservative Prime Minister Viktor Orban, it chose not to renew the deal.

Ontario class counsel are increasingly entering into third-party funding arrangements to hedge against the risks of adverse costs awards. The practice was recently reviewed and summarized by Justice Perell in Bayens v. Kinross Gold Corporation, 2013 ONSC 4974. The decision was summarized in a Bennett Jones client update released earlier this week.
Though the concept of third-party funding remains a work in progress, courts are aware that the practice could significantly affect the risk-reward analysis of class counsel and representative plaintiffs. One question to ask is whether courts should, in assessing fees, consider whether class counsel has assumed the risk of an adverse costs award or whether they have offloaded that risk to a third party? Given that the cost of third-party funding is paid from the class' recovery, the willingness of counsel (or lack thereof) to expose itself to the risk of an adverse costs award would seem to merit some judicial consideration in the assessment of counsel's fees.
In the interim, the continuing message from Ontario courts is that class counsel should tread lightly in this area and only enter into third-party agreements where outside funding is truly necessary.

Top 100 Star Wars Characters in Alphabetical Order
I probably should have done something like this sooner, but ah well. I'd think the title of this is pretty self-explanatory. Unfortunately, Comicvine does not have pages on all of the characters on my list, namely Atton Rand, Canderous Ordo, Darth Sion, HK-47, Hondo Ohnaka, The Jedi Exile/Meetra Surik, Johlee Bindo, and Kreia/Darth Traya

"Test all things; hold fast what is good.": 1 Thessalonians 5:21
"I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. For in my inner being I delight in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God--through Jesus Christ our Lord!"

Special Correspondent
Thiruvananthapuram: The Spanish city of Barcelona has approved a draft proposal for a twinning agreement with Thiruvananthapuram, clearing the decks for formalisation of the pact later this year.
Minister of State for External Affairs and Thiruvananthapuram MP Shashi Tharoor announced this after discussions with Barcelona Mayor Jordi Hereu during his official visit to Spain last week.
The Twin City pact has to be signed by the mayors of the two cities after the Union government clears the proposal. The office of Mayor C. Jayan Babu said it had received the draft proposal.
Mr. Tharoor said a delegation from Barcelona would reach the capital city by the end of the month for the second round of discussions on the pact. This would be followed by a visit from the Director of International Cooperation, Barcelona. A delegation from the city is also expected to visit Barcelona before the formal signing of the agreement, the MP's office said.
The pact will pave the way for cooperation in several areas, including culture, sports and development of infrastructure. It will open up the possibility of research assistance for institutions such as the Regional Cancer Centre (RCC). The city can also make use of Barcelona's assistance in solid waste management.
In a press note issued here on Monday, Mr. Tharoor said the association between the two cities would be mutually beneficial. He said the agreement would blossom into a relationship benefiting the common man.
The pact will also involve standalone agreements for cooperation between institutions in the city and Barcelona.
If all goes well, the agreement will be signed in two months' time, a spokesperson for Mr.Tharoor said.
During the first round of discussions between the Thiruvananthapuram Corporation and the Barcelona City Council held here last October, the two sides discussed possible cooperation in several areas, including information technology, cancer research, biotechnology, sports, culture, urban renewal and waste management.
The Spanish delegation visited the Technopark campus at Kazhakuttam, Sri Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Science and Technology, the RCC and the site for the proposed international container transhipment terminal at Vizhinjam.
The delegation also visited a football club in the coastal belt of the city.

Following our leak out of the trendy 45c Platinum phone and mentioning a lot of devices Archos was working on, we were able to find some images of the new Archos products. Because we can not reveal the source of the images, we have played a little bit with the lettertype and the placement of the products on the images, while leaving the rest untouched.
We will start with the Copper range, with the 70, 90 and 101 models that will be introduced first, while the 7.9 inch model will be added later. As reported earlier, just like the Xenon range, it comes with a 3G/phone function. Also GPS and Bluetooth networks are supported and thanks to the images below, we can conclude that the models will run on Android 4.4 Kit-Kat. Probably, the Copper range will be placed slightly lower than the Xenon tablets. The 70 Copper will come with 4GB of storage, while the 90 and the 101 models will both feature 8GB of storage.
Then we have the 80b Xenon and 101b Platinum models running on Android 4.4 too. 80b Xenon will feature a phone function, while the 101b Platinum is just an ordinary Wi-Fi only quad-core tablet.
As we reported earlier, the 70c Cobalt and 101b Cobalt models will be introduced to the Cobalt range. Both will come with 8GB of storage, dual-core CPUs and Android 4.4.
The Platinum range will not only be joined by the 45c Platinum phonej, but also by the 50b Platinu. Do not expect anything high-end here either. But for the RRP of under 149€, it might not be that bad….
Finally, here are the 40c Titanium and 59 Titanium models which will be added to the Titanium line-up. All that we know for now is that both will feature dual-core MediaTek CPUs, 512MB of RAM, 4GB of storage, Android 4.4 and a resolution of 854×480 pixels for the 5.9inch model.
[…] Archos has more tablets on the way Probably the best thing you can say about these new tablets with 7, 8, and 10 inch screens is that it looks like they'll all run Android 4.4 KitKat. [ArcTablet] […]

Nadal's knee problems may continue
VINA DEL MAR, Chile (AP)
Rafael Nadal's ailing left knee may still bother him for a few more weeks, his coach said Monday.
SLAM DANCETake a look back at each of Rafael Nadal's 13 Grand Slam titles.
Nadal practiced for 90 minutes with Nicolas Massu of Chile on Monday, his fourth straight day of training since arriving in the country for his first match in more than seven months.
Nadal opens up Tuesday in the VTR Open, playing doubles with Argentina's Juan Monaco. On Wednesday, he will play singles in the second round against the winner of a first-round match between Argentines Guido Pella and Federico Delbonis.
''The knee is much better, but they've told us he will feel some discomfort and lack of mobility until the end of the month,'' said Toni Nadal, the seven-time French Open champion's coach and uncle. ''But it's definitely getting better.''
Nadal has avoided surgery so far, getting therapy in hopes of speeding the healing. But the slow recovery from the inflamed knee means Nadal has been trying to lower expectations as he uses three Latin American clay-court tournaments to prepare for a run at an eighth French Open title.
Nadal has practiced in Chile wearing a white bandage around his knee.
''The bandage is normal and is part of the treatment,'' his coach said.
Nadal will be watched closely in doubles Tuesday, which is meant to give him extra playing time on top of his matches in singles.
His uncle has called the small Chilean tournament ''our first French Open.''
Nadal has the best clay-court record in the Open Era, winning 93 percent of his matches. Many will expect him to sweep through this event as he would in the first week of the French Open, perhaps without dropping a set. Anything less will add to speculation about his future and could add pressure.
''His game is much better than when we got here,'' Toni Nadal said. ''It was better yesterday and even better today. We're looking to the doubles as an added test.''

HYDERABAD: Tension prevailed at different points in the city on Thursday as an Assembly segment contestant was arrested for election code violation (later released on bail) and the convoys of Grand Alliance candidates in Hyderabad Parliamentary and Karvan Assembly constituencies were attacked.
Suspected activists of the Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen allegedly pelted stones on the convoys of Grand Alliance candidates -- Zahid Ali Khan and M. Srinivas Reddy -- at Mohmmadiya Lines in Langerhouz in the evening. The contestants, along with their supporters, were taking out a 'padayatra' when MIM workers allegedly pelted stones damaging four of their vehicles.
Complaint lodged
The Grand Alliance workers alleged that the attack was masterminded by MIM's Karvan candidate, Afsar Khan, who too was campaigning in the area then. By the time police rushed there, the attackers fled the place. Later, the Grand Alliance supporters lodged a complaint with the Langerhouz police who registered a criminal case against the MIM workers. The CPI(M) city secretary, P.S.N. Murthy, condemned the attack.
Meanwhile, the Punjagutta police arrested the PR candidate, N. Vijayendra, on charge of violating election code of conduct. According to Punjagutta ACP, Subbarami Reddy, the PR nominee was found campaigning in M.S. Matkha area on Wednesday without securing permission from the police. A case under Section 188 (not complying with the law promulgated by public servant) of Indian Penal Code was registered against him.

When it comes to South America tours, there are certain activities you absolutely have to do. Whether it's a trip to Machu Picchu or a ride on the funicular railway of Valparaiso, some aspects of the journey cannot be missed. This is also true for the Mercado Central de Santiago when you find yourself in the Chilean capital.
A tourist hotspot for years, this marketplace has become a popular destination for good reason. The large market can trace its roots as far back as the 1860s. The steel building it is housed in today is an enormous building with a vaulted ceiling and intricate interior design, and has an interesting story to it. The structure was built in England, taken apart, and then reassembled once it made its way overseas.. Over the last 100-plus years, a visit to the market has become a staple of trips to Chile.
Mercado Central has earned a reputation thanks in large part to the fast-paced atmosphere housed inside. The building is lined with merchants trying to sell you their wares, from fruits and vegetables to seafood. It can certainly be a little overbearing if you're not used to it, but the chaotic environment is part of the charm.
There's likely no wrong time to go to Mercado Central, but travel experts advise heading there during the lunchtime. Having some of the local fare for a mid-day meal is a great way to break up the day in Santiago, and the market is especially famous for its ceviche and caldillo de congrio - a thick eel soup. You'll have a taste of Chilean cuisine and culture all in one quick stop.

While DSLRs give photographers great creative freedom and image quality, the cameras themselves don't cope too well with being exposed to excessive amounts of sand, mud, water or snow – which can be a pain if you get your kicks from shooting things like extreme sports. Outex is a weather and modular waterproof housing system for DSLRs that works much like a drysuit for your camera, and can protect your gear underwater to a depth of 10 meters (33 feet). The new "Big O" adds a big Outex LCD viewfinder window to the system. Read More
Robotic fish learn to go with the flow

We've already seen several underwater robots that mimic the swimming abilities of fish. The European FILOSE research project, however, is also interested in copying another feature of our finned friends – their lateral line. The result could be swimming robots that use differences in water pressure to navigate and save energy. Read More

DARPA wants to hide naval assets on the sea bottom
By David Szondy
January 14, 2013
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has seen the future of naval warfare and it's falling upward. As part of an effort to reduce the logistics of sending equipment into trouble areas, the agency's Upward Falling Payloads project is aimed at developing storage capsules capable of remaining on the deep seabed for years. These would contain non-lethal military assets that could be deployed on the spot years in advance and rise to the surface as needed. Read More
Every year between November and January, endangered North Atlantic right whales are thought to use an area off the coast of Maine known as the Outer Fall as a breeding ground. They are "thought to" because the ocean conditions at that time of year can make it difficult to locate them. Two autonomous marine robots called gliders have now been used as a real time whale-detection system for researchers and to warn boats in the area to slow down to avoid striking the marine mammals.

Ever wonder how fish can find their way around so easily in murky water? Well, most of them use something called their lateral line – a row of hair cells down either side of their body that detect changes in water pressure caused by movement, or by water flowing around objects. Now, scientists from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University and MIT have copied the lateral lines of the blind cave fish, in a man-made system designed to allow autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) to navigate more accurately and efficiently.

CSIRO sensor detects explosives at sea

Clearing explosives is a major operation and removing the deadly residue of over a century of warfare is a never ending task. The problem is that before you can remove explosives you have to find them. That isn't always easy – especially underwater, so Australia's Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) has developed a new sensor that uses high-temperature planar gradiometers to seek out explosives in the sea.

27 September 2013 18:28 [Source: ICIS news]
HOUSTON (ICIS)--A public hearing for input on the proposed modifications to the El Dorado Chemical fertilizer facility air emissions permit will be held 21 October, the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality said on Friday.
El Dorado's Arkansas plant produces nitric acid, sulfuric acid and ammonium nitrate (AN).
The company, a subsidiary of LSB Industries, has proposed changes to the operations that include installation of additional equipment for the chemical production processes, a new cooling tower and ammonia storage tanks, as well as adding a start-up boiler and chemical steam scrubber.
Other modifications the company plans to implement, if approved by regulators, are the removal of some existing boilers and cooling towers plus the replacement of some of its current production equipment.
It is the company's belief that these changes will result in the decreased emissions of some pollutants associated with the production of products.
LSB is in the process of building a $250m (€185m) ammonia plant project in El Dorado, Arkansas, with estimated completion by the end of 2015. It is expected to have an ammonia production capacity of 1,350 short tons/day (1,225 tonnes/day).

Ulster v Northampton - Live
Full-time Ulster 9-10 Northampton
80 Northampton's pack grind out the penalty with forty seconds left. Myler finds touch in Ulster's half and Saints secure the ball, moving the maul forward... Myler finds touch and Northampton win at Ravenhill! A huge response from last week's loss at home. A gritty thrillier in Belfast.
79 One last attack from Ulster with a minute and a half remaining. Knocked forward however and Northampton have the scrum.
78 Bowe departs to generous applause from the home crowd. Pienaar lines up the shot at goal... it's wide! Northampton cling on.
77 Play stopped for Bowe's injury; happened in the tackle with Jamie Elliott. Looks in some pain, instant concerns over his availability for Ireland and the Lions.
77 Ulster break again through Bowe, but he is unable to recycle cleanly and Ulster have a penalty! Calls for a forward pass from Marshall but waved on. Wide on the right around 40 metres out, Pienaar has a chance to give Ulster the lead with three minutes left... stretcher is on for Bowe.
76 A crucial steal at the lineout gives Northampton possession deep in Ulster territory, but the ball is stuck and Ulster win the scrum.
74 Roger Wilson knocks on against his old team to hand Northampton first a scrum and then crucial field position following Myler's kick to touch in Ulster's 22.
72 A scrappy lineout from Northampton hands Ulster another scrum, the hosts running out of time to take back the lead.
69 More power from Northampton's scrum hands them a penalty. Saints attack down the right through Dowson before Myler drops back for the drop goal. It's charged down and Luke Marshall sprints away before being turned over for a Northampton penalty.
66 Pienaar finds touch with an excellent kick but Northampton secure the lineout. Gilroy's pass looks forward but play continues, Ulster building the phases before Williams inexplicably knocks on.
64 No try - scrum to Ulster five metres out. Reset, but Northampton power through and win the penalty, hanging on in front of their try line.
63 Bowe makes a half break down the right wing, but his offload is scooped up by Elliott. Ulster have the lineout five metres out and use their forwards, driving for the line. Time is stopped... Nick Williams not certain if he's scored.
60 Both sides making persistent errors in attack resulting in multiple changes of possession - Northampton settling things down with a 22 dropout.
56 Trimble gathers a Dickson box kick and sets off, but play is stopped after the touch judge raises his flag. Clark is penalised for a high tackle but avoids the bin. Craig Gilroy on for Trimble.

49 Penalty to Northampton, Nick Williams the offender and Saints kick for the corner. Wide ball to Foden who is wrapped up, before Saints attack down the right. A kick through from Myler is hunted by Tom May but the centre is unable to control the ball which bounces into touch near the try line.
47 Northampton's driving maul creaks towards the try line, but loose ball at the base is snapped up bu Ulster with Pienaar clearing deep. Foden glides through defenders to put Northampton on the attack once more - Pisi grubbers through and it works out as Manoa charges for the line, however Ulster win the penalty.

43 Manoa steals the ball on the restart and Jamie Elliott comes close down the left wing, but loses the ball forward. Ulster's clearance kick is far from perfect and Northampton have the lineout in Ulster's half.
42 PENALTY, ULSTER, JACKSON! 9-10. Ulster instantly on the attack through Payne, before switching the play down the left through Bowe. Courtney Lawes commits an offence and Jackson lines up a shot at goal. Over it goes.
40 Paddy Jacksons starts off the second half, Ulster trailing by four points.
Half-time Ulster 6-10 Northampton
40 Foden collects a high kick and Northampton win a scrum with time ticking away. Once again the pass goes loose and that's half-time. Northampton should be delighted with their opening 20 minutes but Ulster are edging their way back in.
36 PENALTY, ULSTER, JACKSON! 6-10. A grubber kick from Payne causes confusion in the Northampton defence, with George Pisi penalised for holding on. Jackson steps up and makes no mistake.
33 Penalty to Ulster from the scrum, Paul Doran-Jones penalised. Jackson though is unable to convert, so a dropout to Northampton.
32 Williams is everywhere, the big man making another important break into Northampton territory. Ball comes wide left but Payne can't hold the pass, scrum to Northampton.
30 PENALTY, ULSTER, JACKSON! 3-10. Ulster coming from deep, Clark penalised for going off his feet. Lineout on the Northampton 22 and the Ulster maul wins a penalty. Chance for Paddy Jackson, who converts.

24 Ulster scrum and Wallace makes metres, crossing the 22. But another knock on stops Ulster short, Northampton's physicality too much for the hosts right now.

18 TRY, NORTHAMPTON, VAN VELZE! 0-10. High kick works for Northampton as they regain possession outside the Ulster 22. Tonga'uiha to Ken Pisi who feeds Van Velze, who scores! The visitors stretching the lead.
16 Wide pass from Myler releases Haywood for charges up the left-hand side, Northampton metres from the try line. After plenty of phases however, Ulster win the penalty to clear their lines.
14 Northampton with the early edge at the scrum, Soane Tonga'uiha getting on top of John Afoa and winning a penalty.
11 Scrum on the right for Ulster and Bowe blasts through on the switch. Knocked on by Trimble near the try line, scrum to Northampton.
10 Northampton turn the ball over after Ulster knock-on, scrum to the Saints by the far touchline. Frenetic start from both sides.
7 Dickson clears from the re-start up to the Northampton 10 metre line. Ulster go backwards from the lineout, Paddy Jackson's high kick taken by Ben Foden. Turnover by Chris Henry, nearly an interception by Manoa but Ulster go wide through Darren Cave.
6 PENALTY, NORTHAMPTON, MYLER! 0-3. Overthrow from Rory Best and Phil Dowson pounces, Northampton metres out. Paddy Wallace penalised for offside and Myler will go for the points. The visitors take the lead, Ulster yet to get to their hands on the ball.
3 Couple of mauls from Ulster early on, but the second is turned over by Northampton in great field position. Quick hands but the ball goes into touch after some speculative passing.
1 Northampton on the attack early on, making ground but a loose pass sends them away from the 22. Myler's chip goes out deep in the Ulster 22, lots of energy from the visitors.
Kick-off Stephen Myler gets us underway at Ravenhill. Game on!

Fantastic flat, perfect for 4 girls visiting NY for their 40ths ! Great location, easy to get around to all of NY locations. Fantastic wandering, places for breakfast, diner, drinks and shops. Description as it states in the overview. Very clean and everything in good working order! We were all very happy to stay there.
Nice!非常不错,在曼哈顿能住的这么便宜又干净整洁的房子真是运气太好了!两个房间一个客厅一家人住非常自由!交通也非常方便,下次去纽约会继续住,Thank julie!
Beskrivelsen af denne bolig er helt korrekt, super dejligt sted tæt på det fantastiske liv i East Village med gode restauranter og barer. Alt hvad man har behov for findes og mere til. Julie er den perfekt vært alt blev klaret som aftalt og systemet med at få nøglerne 1 måned før ankomst med Fed-Ex er super, så undgås stress ved sen ankomst.
Kan varmt anbefales.
This Apartment was fantastic.
It was beautiful, the sleeping rooms are very nice. Thin walls, you hear the neighbours walk, but beds are so comfortable. Slept good anyway. Just low noises from the outside.
It was clean, we had daylight in both bed rooms and enough space for four adults with an almost two year old child. Julie organized a crip for us too, including sheets for it. Small kitchen with everything you need and a big fridge. Around the corner is a real good pizzeria with take away service which saved our first evening (we arrived very late). Supermarket and pharmacy in short distance too. Would love to stay there again, every time! Thank you!
Julie was lovely and helpful from the first communication and her apartment in East Village was a perfect and cosy base for our 2 couple group staying in New York for 5 days.
The apartment is clean, warm and homely with good wifi in a stylish block with comfortable beds and gives you a real sense of living New York style!
The area is brilliant for going out and exploring with an abundance of bars, cafes and restaurants close by - we just wished we had more time to sample them all!
The apartment is well connected to the main subway lines to get you into the heart of Manhattan but is also located in walking distance to wonderful, less toursity areas such as Greenwich and Lower East Side with so much to see, eat, drink, buy and explore!
Julie's instructions were really clear and useful and check in and check out couldn't be easier. I would definitely recommend Julie's place and would stay there again in heartbeat!
Thanks for a great stay in NYC Xx
Great apartment in a great location, comfortably housed a family of four for a week. The neighbourhood is vibrant & amazing with no shortage of restaurants and bars. Easy walking distance to at least two subway stations and kitchen was well equipped for the rare occasion we didn't eat out.
Julie is a fantastic host who made everything easy. Recommended.
We stayed early April'15 and we loved New York, the Lower East Side, E 5th Street and we loved Julie's place. The apartment is situated in an area full of restaurants and bars where you can still buy a slice of pizza for a dollar or a cocktail for an awful lot more. Close to 3 different subway lines but still within walking distance of just about everywhere. We did walk around the area a lot and always felt safe (having a police precinct a few doors down doesn't hurt) and when the subway was flooded one night we walked home from Times Square. Katz Deli, the amazing Wholefoods store and the wonderful Tu-LU & Erin McKenna's gluten free bakeries were only a few blocks away. There were 4 of us staying and the apt is so well designed that we never felt cramped and we loved the high ceilings. As we had been traveling for 2 weeks before we arrived in NYC, the washer & dryer was a real bonus. Julie herself, couldn't have been more helpful answering our many questions. We would have had a great holiday in New York no matter where we stayed but Julie's place was the icing on a rather lovely (gluten free) cake. I can cope with anything as long I can get a good night's sleep and the bed's were perfect. As our trip was as much about spending quality time together as seeing NY, this is something we wouldn't have done in a hotel and could only have happened in a home. A tip for visitors is the 230 Fifth Roof Top Bar (230 5th Av & corner 27th) - arrive shortly before dusk or early in the evening before it gets too busy & enjoy the amazing views for the price of a drink. If you're going to stay you'll love the place but please don't tell everyone as we'd like to come back sometime! Thanks Julie

Tiger Airways to sell or shut Indonesia affiliate if no sign of turnaround: Sources
Published on Mar 3, 2014 1:57 PM
SINGAPORE (REUTERS) - Singapore's Tiger Airways aims to sell or close its Indonesian joint venture unless there are signs of it turning around this year, people familiar with the matter said.
PT Mandala Airlines resumed flights in 2012 after financial restructuring under which Tiger bought a one-third stake, raised to 35.8 per cent in September. Even so, Tiger lost nearly $40 million in the venture in April to December.
Tiger and Indonesian private equity firm Saratoga, which owns 51 per cent of the venture, are now unwilling to make further investment, said the people, who were not authorised to speak publicly on the matter and so declined to be identified.
"The writing is on the wall," said one company source.

Britney can schedule a C-Section.Originally Posted by Unassisted
"Hey...Dad. Wanna Have A Catch?" Kevin Costner in "Field Of Dreams."
I've recently learned the new thing is to schedule induction a week before the due date. Seems all the Dr's around here are doing it. That way they can have more control over their schedules. Guess it's time to buy stock in whatever company produces pitocin.Originally Posted by RedsBaron
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
If that's the route she goes, then I don't think anyone who is squeamish (like me) will want to watch. I have to turn my head from some of the special effects on ER. No way do I want to watch a C-section. <shudder>Originally Posted by RedsBaron
Boy, I have mixed feelings about that.Originally Posted by creek14
I've heard this was being done for Hollywood types a few weeks before the due date. The schedule argument is a red herringthis is being done to minimize stretch marks.Originally Posted by creek14
I think we discussed this in the thread once.
Well I know a woman who had this done last week. She wasn't that thrilled with the idea (I'm guessing you have never had pitocin, un) But this was the Dr's policy. With her it had nothing to do with stretch marks.Originally Posted by Unassisted
Plus the stretch marks are there well before week 39.
I have mixed feelings just like GL. I had a planned c-section (creek jr was transverse and 10lbs - too big to turn). His due date was 4 Jun, we waited until 31 May for the section because both the Dr and I wanted his lungs to be as mature as possible. A due date is a due date. I don't think anyone needs to be messing with the time it takes for a baby to mature.
Will trade this space for a #1 starter.
That's funny.After making a tasteless comment about finding out whether Britney is a real blonde,
"It's easier to give up. I'm not a very vocal player. I lead by example. I take the attitude that I've got to go out and do it. Because of who I am, I've got to give everything I've got to come back."

We are little taken aback by the forcefulness of your comments. Can you really fault Britney for simply giving the public what they want?

My wife had a C-Section with Baby BuckU in March. Around 10p.m. the Doctor conveniently scheduled an operation at 10:30. My wife was dilated to 7 and making good progress. Suddenly the Doctor tells us his news. It wasnt till after the fact that we both wondered why he scheduled it. It seemed as if he didnt want to be come in late or in the middle of the night so he just got it over with.
We just feel he screwed the whole thing up by giving her Pitocin as soon as we got to the hospital since she was on the Pitocin she wasnt able to be out of her bed and get an assist from gravity.
Bad, bad, experience. (not the hospital but my wifes OB)

Wandering around Athena Xu is like walking inside a private room, with accessories, hats and home furnishings cleverly draped all through the boutique.
All pieces inside are unique, hand-crafted from a variety of materials, including leather, silk, chiffon, and ribbon. The accessories are adorned with glass beads, crystal and pearls to give off their own distinctive feel. You can even create their own design, which Athena Xu then makes according to your specifications.
Prices for hats and scarves start at RMB 165, and jewelry cost ranges from RMB 80 to RMB 735. Although certainly pricier than mass-produced products, such as those at the nearby Yaxiu market, these beautiful pieces provide a unique feel in a world where everything is mass-produced the same way.

Bills' Hardy set to return to team
Updated: November 2, 2009, 5:34 PM ETAssociated Press
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- The Buffalo Bills expect to promote James Hardy to their active roster because the second-year receiver has shown he's fully recovered 10 months after having left knee surgery.
Barring "something unexpected," coach Dick Jauron said Monday he's leaning toward promoting Hardy, who spent the first six weeks on the physically unable to perform list. The 2008 second-round draft pick out of Indiana began practicing two weeks ago.
The Bills (3-5) are off this ...

I want to join others in their praise of Dr. Janusz. I had my aortic valve replace in Nov. 2008. Three days after surgery I went home to recover. I am enjoying and savouring my good health each day- no issues as a result of the surgery and nothing impedes any physical activity. I am very thankful that Dr. Janusz was my surgeon- I was not nervous at all and had complete confidence in his skills and talents. Thank you, Dr. Janusz!

This week my mom turned 70, and it was because of this talented and kind surgeon that we can enjoy our mom's company to this day. He repaired her heart valve and has given her back quality-of-life, and is a true hero to our family. On the day he operated, he arrived at the hospital in the early morning, and departed well into the night. The incredibly long days that Dr. Janusz puts in to save his patients is absolutely incredible. I think he is grossly UNDERpaid for his knowledge, skill set, time and talent. He is a true gentleman and a very humble one at that. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Dr. Janusz made us feel cery confident during pre-op consult, explaining entire surgery, options, and expected outcome thoroughly, while giving us time for any questions. Both surgery and first 10 days of recovery have gone well. We feel like we've "hit a home-run" with this surgeon!!

Fantastic! My wife underwent a major heart operation at VGH on May 5, 2011, to correct a descending aortic aneurism. This man is brilliant! He thoroughly explained what was to take place, and proceeded to do it (with the support of obviously a well directed team). Dr Janusz phoned me immediately after the 5 hour operation was over :). I told him on the phone that day, and I say it again now: Thank you for all you did, in giving my wife a new lease on life. :) Michael, all the best! Dan (and Viola)

Dr. Janusz saved my mom's life. He's the best heart surgeon. Very compassionate and after my mom's open-heart surgery he came out and told me about the surgery and assured me that everything was fine. Trust YOUR HEART with Dr. Janusz

Dr. Janusz told my husband on Jan 6th, 2010 that he would need open heart surgery to repair his aortic valve, aneurysm on his aortic artery and do 4 bypasses. On March 25th, 2010 he had the surgery done. My husband had 10 hours of surgery and is now feeling great and looking forward to a future. Dr. Janusz was excellent about explaining what was wrong, what needed to be done and what options my husband had. He is very personable, polite and to the point. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing heart surgery.
