22 delicacies of the coastal belt steal the show
MANGALORE: Facets of Tulunadu culture came alive at a prototype "Guttina Mane" (a traditional house for a clan with an open courtyard) at Pilikula Nisargadhama here on Wednesday.
The occasion was a programme titled "aatitonji dino" (a day in the Hindu lunar month of "aashada) organised by Pilikula Nisargadhama Society.
People tasted 22 delicious delicacies of the coastal belt at the "nadu mane" (sheltered area around courtyard) besides witnessing some of the ancient household articles, agriculture-related articles, old bamboo baskets, wooden game articles, pottery items and articles used in "bhoota worship" (spirit worship). The special Aashada delicacies were made by enthusiastic women at their own places and brought to "Guttina Mane". There was "sarnedde" (a sweet recipe prepared using jaggery, coconut and rice flour). "Women prepare this dish for Shivaratri," said Sunitha R. Shetty who had cooked it and also served it to the participants.
Shankari T. Alva had cooked "neeruppad chatni" (chutni prepared from mango pieces stuffed in salt water). There were coastal specific dishes such as "patrode", "kudu chutni", "timare chutni", "kanili gasi", "pejakai chutni", "mude", "manjal ireta gatti".
And when K.M. Kaveriappa, vice-chancellor of Mangalore University, played "chenne mane" (a rural indoor game), it marked the inauguration of the event. For those who could wait for the cultural programme to take place, there was "aati kalenja" dance, "chennu kunita" (a Tulu dance) and other folk dances.
Students rendered folk songs. Some women shared the tricks of the trade of preparing dishes of the "aati" month. Books on Tulu culture and literature were put on sale.
Father Denis D'Sa, administrator, Father Muller Medical College and Hospital, who attended the event, said: "There was an uncomfortable atmosphere in the city today. I saw police checking vehicles at many places in the background of the recent bomb blasts. I felt free here. It is a serene atmosphere in the village here. I feel free here."

Although the 2013 Virginia General Assembly Session has ended, the work of state government does not rest. In particular, several legislative commissions involving healthcare reform are beginning their work for the summer and fall in preparation for the 2014 session. Recently, the Virginia Health Reform Initiative (VHRI) Advisory Council, and the Medicaid Innovation and Reform Commission (MIRC), held public meetings.
VHRI was formed in 2010 to make recommendations regarding implementation of health reform in Virginia. In 2011 and 2013, VHRI studied the many state related issues arising out of the Patient Protection and Affordability Act ("Obama Care"). Virginia subsequently opted not to set up its own state-based exchange, and thus it will default to the Federal Exchange. However, the Virginia Bureau of Insurance will still provide "plan management" functions for plans in the Federal Exchange available to Virginia residents.
As such the work of VHRI continues. On June 12, 2013, VHRI reviewed legislation from the 2013 Legislative Session, and heard status reports on Exchange development, eligibility and enrollment. The meeting documents are available by clicking this link VHRI Meeting Documents. The Advisory Council plans to meet 2-3 times by the end of this year.
The MIRC had its first meeting on June 17, 2013. MIRC is the legislative commission charged with reviewing and approving several Medicaid reforms, including the expansion of Medicaid pursuant to Obama Care. At this "organizational" meeting, Sen. Emmett Hanger (R) and Del. Steve Landes (R) were elected Co-Chairs of the commission. The meeting centered on an overview by Secretary Hazel and his staff regarding Virginia's Medicaid program, including the rising costs of services. The next meeting of this commission will most likely be in July, but a date has not yet been scheduled.
We will continue to follow the activities of these bodies and keep you informed of healthcare reform issues here in Virginia. As always, we welcome the opportunity to speak with you about these issues.

Hey DssAT,
When troubleshooting issues with home sharing, I find the following article helpful:
The section that may provide the best resolution to you is Section 5: "Check Firewall Settings":
Matt M.
DssAT May 24, 2013 2:37 PM
Re: iPad network sharing and homesharing in response to matt00
My mistake. I should have included the information about my firewall. I am not using a firewall during the setup. I have found that, for setup purposes (and given the short amount of time things are in the open), passwords and firewalls just add a layer of complication not required. I usually get everything up and running and then add every layer of protection I can find. The point is, my firewall is off and not giving me an issue. Additionally, I am making this response from a different iPad (setup identically to my other iPad) via the network wherein I can't load my home sharing iTunes library. Thanks for your advise.

10 great iPhone apps for business users
InfoWorld presents a grab bag of handy productivity apps that can make your iPhone as useful as it can be
As a member of the nomadic business class, I appreciate how Apple has managed to make a device as small as the iPhone a truly useful enterprise tool. Thanks to the wildly successful App Store, an amazing number and variety of apps promise to keep me organized, on time, on track, and productive even if my ever-present laptop isn't available.
The question for me, as it is for most users, is exactly which App Store apps will make the iPhone as useful as it can be. What follows is my own personal top 10 list, plus a few extras for good measure. If you use your iPhone (or iPod Touch) for business purposes, you'll likely come to rely on a few of these apps too.
[ Take a quick slideshow tour of these 10 great iPhone apps for business users. Discover 10 top iPhone apps for IT pros and 21 apps Apple doesn't want on your iPhone. ]
There were a few ground rules I used in putting this group together -- guidelines that made sense to me, as I think they will to a lot of other users. First, because I'm living inside the current economy, I wanted the applications to be as inexpensive as possible. A bargain-priced iPhone app that requires an expensive desktop app or subscription was at a serious disadvantage.
Second, I wanted my iPhone software to work, to the greatest extent possible, with software I was already using on my laptop. I know that this introduces some biases, but the companion services and applications I'll mention are popular and widely adopted, so this is not as great a limitation as it might otherwise be.
Finally, there are more than 100,000 applications available on the Apple App Store. I didn't try them all. I didn't even try to try them all. I talked to other users, peered over the shoulder of iPhone-wielding business folks, and read reviews, articles, and blog posts from as many people as I could to narrow the field -- pretty much the same process most business users go through when selecting software. The following list of applications, then, is the one I've come to depend on. I'll look forward to reader comments telling me what I've missed.
When you need to move files back and forth between two (or more) computers on the same desk or in the same office, you have a number of options. When you need to move files between devices in different states, your options are rather more limited, and most of those options are in the cloud. One of the most popular for desktop computers is Dropbox, which is now available for the iPhone.
With Dropbox, you designate a desktop folder or subdirectory to synchronize, and then sit back and let the cloud-based storage system do its thing. On the iPhone, Dropbox allows you to upload and download files, and it provide links to individual files for collaborators to share entire subdirectories with coworkers. Dropbox also lets you view common file types like documents, spreadsheets, and photos.
For a business user on the go, the ability to provide the link through e-mail is critical, and the ability to view the files can be a lifesaver. In my case, I was already using Dropbox as a way to share files between my Macintosh and Windows machines, and the Web-based interface allowed me to reach my files when I was away from any of my computers.

Behavioral characteristics seen as unrelated to learning are being factored into students' grades, and may be elevating the grades of female students and students from affluent backgrounds, according to a recent international study. The study of 17 countries by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development shows that such an approach to student grading may put boys at a disadvantage and affect their self-esteem.

Although this may not be true for some, many people who abuse hard drugs always seem to have started by harmlessly smoking weed and getting high from time to time, which creates a desire for more. A reason for it being a gateway drug, I think, is that once people become comfortable with marijuana then other drugs begin to look more okay. ]]> Commented on If you can do it, I can do it in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.354953#16610082 2012-05-07T07:07:46Z laut0056 I think social comparison is essential in todays world to always hold yourself to a higher standard. With social comparison there is always that push to do better and achieve at a higher level with those your surround yourself with. I think this type of competition is beneficial for motivating yourself to have goals and beat them. If no one compared themselves then there would be no progression in todays world and nothing would get accomplished.]]> Commented on Fact: All blue-eyed people are LAZY, DUMB, and dishonest. in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.355150#16610048 2012-05-07T07:01:21Z laut0056 This is an interesting concept that goes to show how performance can be determined by group status and comparison. If a situation creates inequality across a group of people, then the people who are thought less of take on a mentality that results in them displaying reasons for being below others. I think a good example of this can be seen by comparing certain sets of siblings. If one sibling is highly achieved and sets the bar high for his siblings, then his siblings may sit in their shadow and never live up to the unspoken expectations that they feel they have to fight to meet. ]]> Posted Come on man, Everyones doing it! to Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.355142 2012-05-06T02:18:56Z 2012-05-06T02:45:30Z Psychology proved to be one of my favorite classes this semester but the topic that was most intriguing to myself would have to be conformity.

Conformity refers to altering your behavior because of group pressures or to fit into a stereotype that you want to be apart of. I always thought it was interesting how people can let this happen and stray away from what they think is right or wrong based on external influences, such as people. The Asch study made the event of conformity even more ridiculous when a test subject would give the wrong answer because the rest of the group did, even when they knew it to be wrong. I never have thought of myself as one to conform when in reality I probably do it regularly. I always believe that my behavior is consistent with who I represent myself as and not what others are influencing it to be. Although this may be true sometimes, when looking at the people I surround myself with I will often conform to the behaviors of my friends and the groups I am apart of. Although it makes sense to have similar tendencies and behaviors as your friend group the result can be a cross group deindividuation. What I mean by this is that people who become to comfortable in the group there in will end up always going with the flow of others around them, resulting in not necessarily a loss of identity, but a change of identity that is similar to those you surround yourself with on a regular basis. This is not a bad thing, but what I believe is that people should never limit themselves to a certain group of people, especially if they have a negative influence on you. CHANGE IS GOOD and helps you develop into a more concrete individual by learning to step outside your comfort zone and do something completely different then what your regular friends would. ]]> Commented on Children and Technology; is it too much? in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.348830#16554352 2012-04-27T05:29:09Z laut0056 Technology is here to stay and is everywhere so it's obvious that children are going to grow up in that kind of society. We grew up before the technological era exploded, so we have the opportunity to take advantage and use this technology. If younger kids weren't able to access it, then they would be far behind in their later years because of how fast advancements are being made. We cannot stop progress which means that as technology continues to become more and more important in daily lives, then children, younger and younger, will have to learn and adapt to that as well. ]]> Commented on 19 Kids and COUNTING?! in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.349054#16554300 2012-04-27T05:17:15Z laut0056 I agree, having that many children does not seem like it would be possible. You would have to give each child the time it takes to care for them and help them grow up. I would say more then 8 kids would be entirely to much, and I came from a family of 3 kids. Even with three kids it seems like it could be a bit stressful, and I think it would be unfair to your kids to have any more then you think you could handle. If you think you could handle having a large number of kids, sure, go for it, I know I probably wont. ]]> Commented on Average? Or Extraordinary? in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.350130#16554271 2012-04-27T05:05:51Z laut0056 The average person maybe statistically more attractive, just because there are so many of them. Just because they look average doesn't mean they are not attractive, so it is more likely to think an average person is attractive because there everywhere. I would have to say at times I would think an average person is attractive, but usually try to identify certain things that are attractive to me personally. These things usually jump out at me right away so it doesn't take much looking, but if an average person is standing next to a person with these qualities, then they are not that attractive by comparison. ]]> Commented on ACT? SAT? IDK! in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.350148#16554232 2012-04-27T04:55:19Z laut0056 I would have to say that although someone is not good at taking a test, it still measures to some degree how well you will do in the coming years. If so much emphasis is placed on a test, then its probably a good idea to prepare for that test. That being said, I think less emphasis should be placed around the results of the test, like doing well in challenging classes through out high school. I think this should be one of the main components because if a student doesn't take school seriously in high school and work hard, then why would they deserve acceptance into a good college? The kids who do challenge themselves and work hard should always have first priority in my opinion. ]]> Commented on Enough is Enough in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.353508#16554097 2012-04-27T04:31:48Z laut0056 I dont believe there is anything in our brain, Geri, that impacts the amount we learn over a long period of time. I think what happens with people experiencing something similar as yourself is that, as the weather and such gets nicer and signs of summer begin appearing, you lose all motivation. Its understandable though since almost everyone is thinking about summer at this point, but the years almost done, so that should be your main focus until the end. Kind of interesting though. ]]> Commented on Hungry? in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.350480#16532881 2012-04-24T05:26:11Z laut0056 I think portion is an interesting thing to look at from a college students perspective. With random class times, homework, and other obligations through out the day its hard to get on a concrete schedule of eating. I often will find myself snacking throughout the day instead of having a meal which leads to more hunger later on. Then when I do finally sit down I eat a large amount of food to the point where I am stuffed. I think it would be interesting to compare the demands of people in the past to those of people today to see if that has any effect on the increase in portion size and our country growing fatter daily. ]]> Commented on Not hungry... or... in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.350547#16532841 2012-04-24T05:18:29Z laut0056 Media, peer influence, and social context seem to all be tied into eating disorders and are major contributors to such things. One thing that I have always tried to remind myself about people is that you never know what has happened to them earlier on in life that could have stimulated the growth of such disorders at a young age. Then throw the media, peer influence, and other stresses in life on top of that and tell children its weird to be to skinny? Something to think about I guess ]]> Commented on Please keep your distance in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.352499#16532824 2012-04-24T05:12:43Z laut0056 I also agree with this post. Everyone has a personal bubble (not necessarily 1.5-4ft) that measures how comfortable one is when interacting with other individuals. Being a male I find that when another male gets to close I feel the urge to say "back off buddy" but my personal bubble to females is much smaller. If someone you are holding a conversation with is invading that space, I become irritable an look for ways to end the conversation sooner, usually not gaining anything out of the interaction from the sheer fact that I was way to uncomfortable to begin with. ]]> Commented on IQ Score Matter? in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.352329#16532777 2012-04-24T05:06:54Z laut0056 IQ is an interesting subject when it comes to work performance. A high IQ should obviously have a positive correlation with more critical and analytical jobs that require higher mental abilities. Where this may true in a lot of cases, I think that if you have a balance between your IQ and or sociological factors that make up your emotional intelligence, you do not necessarily have to be the smartest person. If you have an average IQ and a good emotional base, then that should be enough to be able to perform those higher thinking jobs. ]]> Commented on The Milgram Study in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.352660#16532763 2012-04-24T04:59:37Z laut0056 I think it is important to take into account how morally right something is whenever dealing with authority. I tend to be one to question authority in general because its always good to test how credible a person is, and then make a decision based on if you think its right or wrong. Everyone falls victim to taking orders from someone that is perceived to have greater power or knowledge of something, it just has to come down to if your okay with that, or are a good or terrible person to begin with. It's like hitler and the nazi's. ]]> Commented on You RACIST! in Psychology 1001 S23, Sp2012 tag:blog.lib.umn.edu,2012:/wlas0006/jhon's_sp2012 class//15485.352541#16532747 2012-04-24T04:53:02Z laut0056 I think there is no test that can tell you if you have a preference for different races, accurately that is. I believe that there will be some sort of racism or prejudice in everyone from a different race, whether you realize it or not. To test it is absurd and just keeps the idea for racism and such alive because the stereotypes that will always exist about different races will always exist, which will form an image, probably a negative one, that will always be present. It depends how this image is taken in the eye of the beholder that determines how racist one is. ]]>

The al-Qaida leader reportedly was a fan of the UK's Arsenal soccer team, hailing the "beauty" of its plays. He also liked to watch volleyball.

Newcombe: "Djokovic is really going to struggle the first six months of next year"
Views on Djokovic, Nadal and Federer from John Newcombe (7 singles grand slam titles, 17 doubles grand slam titles):
"Djokovic is really going to struggle the first six months of next year - he's really knocked himself out…He's just won so many matches, and it's been pretty obvious, even at the US Open, he was struggling. I even thought he was struggling at Wimbledon against Bernard [Tomic], but he was able to pull himself together…He was very lucky to win the US Open, because Roger should never have lost that match from where he was. And now since the US Open, there's injuries, a sore shoulder, a sore back, and when you watch him playing, he's running on three cylinders, so I'd say that his body, it's given in. It's not a lot of time to suddenly suck it up and start the year again and defend everything that he won last year, so I think it will be a superhuman effort for him to repeat the six months that he had. It was an amazing run, and that is very hard to defend."
"It's not going to surprise me if, by the end of July next year, Roger is very close to being No.1 again."
"With Rafa, it's like the heavyweight champion of the world that's never been knocked out, and suddenly, gets knocked out six times within the space of six months by Djokovic. He doesn't have the same self-belief any more. All of a sudden he's having to face things, questions, that he's never doubted. So it's a question of can he get his head around this whole thing, and come back to where he was?"
Federer for the Golden CYGS. :)
Djokovic defintly won't defend what he did last year but he will manage with some semis, finals and wins.
Even though I like both Djokovic and Nadal, I think that's a pretty fair assessment. I guess we'll see in a few weeks or so...
Wouldn't surprise me if Djokovic's only slam win next year turns out to be the USO. Like Federer only defended the USO in 2008 after winning the AO/Wimbledon/USO trio in 2007.
I actually see Djokovic defending the AO and US titles next year, not sure about Wimbledon, tho
Djokovic should be good next year, he's young and those injuries were nothing that rest can't take care of.
Djokovic will win the French and the US. Del Potro/Murray will win the AO sparking talk of a repeat of djokovic's this year, and then Federer will bag the Olympics and Wimbledon.
We really need to bookmark all these predictions older players are making about Noel, Roger and Ralphie, and see as the year progresses.
Nope. He will be back to sweeping the season again just like he did this year. I do not buy his injury claims or his claims of fatigue,either. He will be fine.
newcome doubts djokovic and nadal could maintain/reclaim their positions but he believes federer could move up close to the no. 1 position despite being 5, 6 years older than his rivals ? :)
If Fed starts the year well, with a possible W in AO, who knows what could happen?
Should be interesting to see how Djokovic does in 2012. Hope he comes out strong and has a repeat year.
Interestingly, my longtime hitting partner was courtside when Newcombe retired from competitive play after losing a very tight match to Bjorn Borg (late 70's WCT).
He was extremely impressed with Newcombe's "self-awarness" as he stepped up to the mike after, apologies to the fans, and openly stated that his time had come, that he no longer had what it took to stay at the top level of tennis...wondering if Newk is really onto something...certainly been there before...
The thing about the calendar is: Apart from the Australian Open, all the majors are within 3 months of each other. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he didn't bomb the first 6 months to give himself time to recover and build up to the slam season.
Sampras did this to great effect throughout his career. It's all about the June-September.
Well, Newcombe may be totally wrong in the end, but seeing the respective forms of the top 3 at the end of the season, it's hard to fault his logic right now. Sure, Djokovic's got a huge lead coming into the 2012 season, but he will need to be much more reliable than he'e ever been at defending his titles (at the moment, he's only marginally more succesfull than Nadal is outside clay, and that is saying something, considering that the Spaniard never managed to defend a non-clay event :shock:). Not saying that he will lose all 10 of them, but I would be surprised if he keeps, say, even half of them. Besides, history shows that it's mighty hard to win at least two slams in a year after managing a 'small slam'. Look how many players have managed to do it since the beginning of the open era...
So yes, Federer faces quite an uphill battle (a 5,460 pts deficit), but a win at the AO with Djokovic going out at the semi-final stage and he would close almost half this gap, so who knows? The AO sure looks crucial, though. We'll see.
2012 is gonna be majestic.
I think Nadal will regain #1, and Fed and Djoker will battle for #2. Nadal will again defend RG. One of the Big 3 will take Wimbledon.
As for USO and AO, I think there will be a new first-timer taking at least one of those.
Last tennis season before the world ends.
Roger had better make this one good..........

Xerostomia is a common complication of radiotherapy for head and neck cancer because irreparable damage is caused to the salivary glands if they are included in the radiation fields. The aim of the study was to evaluate the degree of xerostomia in survivors of head and neck cancer and to determine its impact on quality of life.
Methods and materials
A xerostomia questionnaire consisting of three parts (xerostomia score, quality of life survey, and visual analogue scale) was completed by 75 head and neck cancer patients, more than 6 months after radiotherapy and without evidence of disease.
The majority of patients (93%) suffered from a dry mouth, and 65% had moderate to severe xerostomia (grade 2 to 3). Both dysphagia (65%) and taste loss (63%) were common, although oral pain was less frequent (33%). The emotional impact of xerostomia was significant, causing worry (64%), tension (61%), or feelings of depression (44%). Furthermore, patients reported problems with talking to (60%) or eating with (54%) other people and to feel restricted in amount and type of food (65%). Quality of life was influenced by T classification, clinical stage, a higher radiation dose or the use of concomitant chemotherapy, but was independent of the interval since the end of radiotherapy.
Xerostomia after radiotherapy for head and neck cancer is extremely common and significantly affects quality of life. No recuperation is seen over time, and the use of concomitant chemotherapy significantly increases the oral complications of radiation. These results warrant the continuing efforts put into the development of salivary gland-sparing radiotherapy techniques and effective treatments of radiation-induced xerostomia.

Guwahati: Thirty-two militants belonging to various outfits surrendered and laid down weapons and explosives at the Army's Dinjan base in upper Assam on Monday.
