Hartford — A bill authorizing the state's top public safety official to negotiate agreements establishing the authority of the Mashantucket Pequot and Mohegan tribal police departments won overwhelming support late Tuesday in the House of Representatives, which passed the measure 132-3.
House Bill 6373 now moves on to the Senate.
Under the proposal, the commissioner of the state Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection, a post currently held by Reuben Bradford, would enter into separate agreements with each of the tribes, subject to the chief state's attorney's approval. It's expected that such agreements would empower tribal police officers to arrest non-Indians on reservation lands, including Foxwoods Resort Casino and Mohegan Sun, owned, respectively, by the Mashantuckets and the Mohegans.
Currently, tribal police may only detain non-Indian suspects for arrest by state police and prosecution in state court. Tribal police are authorized to arrest tribal members who are prosecuted in tribal court.
State and tribal police have had concurrent jurisdiction on the Mashantucket and Mohegan reservations since the 1990s.
The bill would also grant the public safety commissioner and the chief state's attorney joint authority to revoke the agreements, and specifies that members of the tribal police departments would have to undergo certification training by the Police Officer Standards and Training Council.
The legislature's Public Safety and Security Committee unanimously approved the bill in March, weeks after conducting a public hearing that elicited little opposition. The Government Administration and Elections Committee also approved the measure.
State Rep. Stephen Dargan, D-West Haven, the public safety committee's co-chairman, said that once a tribal department's officers were POST-certified, the department would function as any municipal police department in the state does.
State Rep. Tim Bowles, D-Preston, asked whether the tribal police departments' jurisdiction would extend to state or local roads adjacent to tribal lands.
"I don't think they want to branch off any more than the property that they have unless there is a major accident where they have a mutual response to it," Dargan said. "It wouldn't be more than any of our other communities now."
The Mashantuckets' department, preparing for a greater role in policing the tribe's reservation, including Foxwoods, has added more than a dozen officers in the last year, most with decades of experience working for municipal police departments. Tribal Police Chief William Dittman has said all department members will soon be POST-certified.
All members of the Mohegans' police force are also expected to have the certification.
The legislation grew out of talks between Gov. Dannel P. Malloy's administration and the tribes. Both parties agreed to cut costs by reducing the state police presence at the casinos as tribal police became better trained.
A review of the bill by the state Office of Fiscal Analysis found that in each of the last four fiscal years, the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection incurred more costs related to law enforcement at the casinos than it received in reimbursements from the tribes.
Total costs incurred exceeded tribal reimbursement by $1.2 million in fiscal 2011 and by nearly $2.3 million in fiscal 2012, the office reported.

"Hello, I must be going…" read the note addressed to me and taped to the door of Allan Reiff's office in the Philosophy/Humanities Department at our local community college. The year was 1983, and little did I know then, the dark truth hidden in those seemingly light-hearted words; the man I would eventually marry would be taken from me all too soon by the ravages of Alzheimer's Disease.
Caregiver Stories
Read Fellow Caregiver's Stories, Submit Your Own . . .
Welcome to FCA's online story-telling corner. We've invited caregivers around the world to tell us their caregiving stories. What better way to learn about caring for our loved ones if not from those who have done it before us, or are doing it with us? If you'd care to submit your own caregiving story, use our form to answer "How or Why Did You Become a Caregiver?".
Our family equation for caregiving developed slowly, over five rigorous years following our father's death. Two sisters and I divide the year into three, with each caregiving our 85 year-old mother four months. Mom spends summer on Kauai. My first summer with Mom was clumsy. Not clumsy like, "Oops, I tripped over a crack . . ." clumsy like a caffeinated circus performer juggling 14 greased kittens─ridiculous, slightly hazardous, and horrifying to observers.
My name is Julie Pacheco, I'm 47 years old and I take care of my step father Jack who is 90 years old. He suffers from dementia. When I was 26 my mother married this man and he became a part of our crazy, dysfunctional family. By dysfunctional I mean mainly myself, who at that time, was a single mother sufferring from the disease of addiction.
For the past 15 years my mother and I have been under the tutelage of Alzheimer's Disease, a malevolent force which has actually been with her much longer than that but I was too obtuse, and she was too confused, to comprehend. She will turn 101 this November, still a strikingly beautiful woman. Our family is just the two of us and our fat cat, Velcro, who cares for us both.
I have multiple illnesses and receive only SSI, though I did try to work some freelance after getting disability. I am currently living with, and trying to look after two parents. They are in their late 80s/early 90s and very luckily have only mild dementia. I attribute some of this to the fact that I am there and, being a person who is interested in many things, create a stimulating environment.
For 3 years, it was forgetting just little things. He never thought anything about it as his job was very stressful. He had a mandatory work meeting down state which he went to. But he called me on the phone saying that he was lost, and that's when I knew there was something wrong. I found him on the side of the road; I had told him to park and stay in his car. We went home and he seemed fine for a while.
I had a strained relationship with hope before my wife was diagnosed with cancer. To me, hope was a high waiting for a low, a fix with a nasty flipside. Far from the precious entity exalted by legions of poets and philosophers, hope was just another coordinate on the pain/pleasure cycle existing in infinite balance with its opposite. In the same way that happiness alternates with sadness, or desire with loss, hope alternates with fear. One requires that the other exist. Hope was for suckers, and I was no sucker.
My name is Lisa. I'm a baby boomer and so was my childhood sweetheart. We met at 15, and dated until we were married in 1966, just turning 20 years old. We were born in August, and chose that month to marry as well. A lot of celebrating for two Leos. Our life began rather simply. Living and working in San Francisco, but wanting to start a family, we decided to buy a home in the burbs.
My husband and I were watching a movie, sitting on couch on a Saturday night. He said he was tired as I got up and went to the kitchen. Then he said "I have a tremendous headache," then held his hand on the left side of his face, saying "my face feels numb, funny" . . . then his head fell back. I tried to talk to him. He was screaming "Oh no!" I called 911.
My husband and I care for my grandma, age 94, with dementia. She moved in with us April 2013. I also go to another lady's home for one hour in the morning to get her showered, dressed and fed and for one hour in the evening for physical therapy and to get her into bed in the evening.
My husband and I have been caring for my 92 year old mother for over five years. It has taken me almost that long to even admit and verbalize that my mother has dementia. I always would just say that she was forgetful and then as time went on I added the word confused. In the last year she has also become anxious and panicky when we leave her home alone for a short period of time. Tonight, after I ran an errand for less than two hours, I returned to a frantic mother.
It was the beginning of 2013 and my husband and I hit rock bottom. Once again, another medication did not work. This was the 10th medication in 10 years my husband tried to relieve his chronic pain. He was depressed, angry, and began to talk about divorce. I was about to throw in the towel as well because I was experiencing caregiver burnout.
I became a cargiver shortly after my divorce. I had quit my job in an attempt to salvage my marriage . . . not the best thing to do. I moved in with my parents to assist them and I had a place to stay. Then 3 weeks later my dad required a triple bypass. This became a full time job with his recovery, and since he has Parkinson's disease, it was even more difficult.
My son Neil was seventeen when he sustained a traumatic brain injury at the hands of a drunk driver who hit him and his girlfriend Trista as they were walking. Trista was killed. That was ten years ago. Initially helpless in an intensive care unit, he had no choice but to allow his family to take care of him in a way that had not been necessary since he was a small boy. His father carried him to the bathroom. His brother fed him smoothies from a straw. I brushed his unruly curls, massaged his muscles and helped with the exercises his therapist recommended.
Gerry Sandusky, left, his wife Lee Ann and their two children Katy and Zack, with Gerry's dad, John Sandusky shortly before his passing.
I am 67 years old, married with no children. My mother who now is 89 took care of my handicapped sister for nearly 10 years and is now 66. Both have lived with my husband and I for nearly four years. Some of the happiest years of our lives.
I've been a caregiver for my husband since about 2001 when he began having angina. My caregiving responsibilities have progressively increased and his health has progressively declined since he had triple heart bypass surgery in 2003. After the surgery, he had atrial fibrillation, which stayed. In addition to heart problems, he developed COPD from years of smoking. These are the biggies, but through the years there have been numerous diagnoses added from arthritis to gout and several hospital stays. He's had several strokes as well.
Hello everyone! I am new to this site but not new to caregiving. This may be a little long, but I encourage you to read it. I encourage you because I know that you can relate to everything that I am going to say.....
I am the only daughter (age 46) of my parents (ages 68 and 66, dad and mom), and my mom was diagnosed with stage 4 uterine/cervical cancer out of the blue. She was in the best shape of her life, and she and Dad were about to visit Nepal as they were enjoying their retirement together. My husband and I were living in another part of the country when she got her diagnosis, and my life turned upside down. I had just moved with my husband to take a new job ( for me) in the Northwest after living 20 years in the Midwest.
It started when my Aunt went to the hospital for a procedure to check her heart. I cannot remember the precise name of that procedure however, my mother told me the day before that there was a slight chance that things could go wrong, according to her medical book. The last words I heard my aunt tell me as she stuck her hands out wide were, "Say a prayer for me this long!"

The Crooked Mirror: A Memoir of Polish-Jewish Reconciliation
An estimated eighty percent of American Jews are of Polish decent. Most Jewish Poles who immigrated to the United States remember their homeland as a place of murderous anti-Semitism. Stories of fleeing violent hatred and persecution are passed down through many Jewish-American families, and to this day Poland is not regarded as a tolerant or welcoming country for Jews. In The Crooked Mirror: A Memoir of Polish-Jewish Reconciliation (2013), author Louise Steinman challenges assumptions about modern Polish anti-Semitism.
For centuries prior to World War II, Poland had been an epicenter of European Jewish life. Not only was Poland's Jewish population nearly extinguished during the Holocaust, but in the subsequent decades of communist rule it was taboo to discuss any of the country's rich Jewish history. It wasn't until recently that Poles and Jews began to honestly examine their entwined history. In her memoir, Steinman returns to a small Polish town where her family lived for generations, and becomes a witness and participant in Poland's reawakening to its Jewish past. This important book captures the blossoming of a vital new era of Polish-Jewish reconciliation.
Steinman is a writer and literary curator, and her work often deals with memory, history, and reconciliation. In 2002 she wrote the acclaimed memoir The Souvenir: A Daughter Discovers Her Father's War, and illuminates how war changed one generation and shaped another. Her first book, The Knowing Body: The Artist As Storyteller in Contemporary Performance (1995), is a critically acclaimed study of the performing arts. Her articles and essays have appeared in prominent national publications such as The New York Times and Washington Post.

I wish we had outside financial assistance. No one has given a penny to us to make this dream a reality. Hence we don't even have a donate button on our blog. Lots of long hours at work made this a reality for me. Glad you enjoy browsing the blog! We are in the Chesapeake running from the hurricane season. The first of October we will begin heading South through the Caribbean and over to Central America. That's when things will really begin to get exciting!

How we work
Children are at the heart of everything we do.
Plan is a child-centred community development organization. This means we work with children, their families, communities, organizations and local governments to bring about positive change.
When children and adults work together as part of the change process, it is more likely that programs will be successful and sustainable.
Listening to what children have to say about their rights, needs and concerns is key to this approach. We encourage and help children to take an active role in finding solutions to their problems and realizing their full potential.

I am trying to obtain a list of results from a database table ('result'), however, each member may have submitted multiple results, and I wish to retrieve their best time.
The query below works (although I'm not sure if it is efficient), except in the case where there are multiple results from the same competitor with the same time scored. (e.g. competitor #2 scores time 32.15 seconds twice). In this situation I get two rows for this competitor, rather than the one I'd like.
SELECT result_id FROM (
SELECT member_id,MIN(time) AS mintime FROM result
JOIN member_result ON result.id = member_result.result_id
WHERE event_id = ?
GROUP BY member_id ORDER BY mintime ) AS x
JOIN result ON result.time = x.mintime
JOIN member_result ON member_result.result_id = result.id
AND member_result.member_id = x.member_id
Any suggestions to fix the issue would be greatly received.
EDIT: Structure of tables as requested;
member_result (TABLE)
id int unsigned (10)
result_id int unsigned (10)
member_id int unsigned (10)

I'd just like one row returned, with either result_id - currently both rows are returned as the min time is equal.

Breeders Cup Turf
Breeders Cup Turf
Breeders' Cup Turf Field and Analysis
by T.O. Whenham
The Breeders' Cup Turf makes me tired just thinking about it. It's such a long race (a mile and a half), and the turf itself can be so grueling and challenging that it is truly an endurance test of the highest order. The horses that are pointed to this event, though, are cut out specifically for the unique challenges of the event. Given the difficulty of the event, it's not surprising that the field will not be full this year. As it looks now, only nine horses will enter the starting gate. What the race lacks in quantity, though, it more than makes up for in quality.
Given the small field it's a strange circumstance that we have two former winners of the race running on Saturday. Red Rocks is back to defend the title he brought home last year, while Better Talk Now, a grizzled eight-year-old veteran, won in 2004. Red Rocks hasn't had a particularly good year since his win. He was pretty poor in Dubai, he came back with a win in England, but then had two straight fourth-place finishes behind top European horses. As an added knock, six Turf winners have come back to defend their win, and none have been successful. Only one, in fact, has even made the board. Despite the flaws, it would be a mistake to view Red Rocks as an also ran - he wasn't particularly highly regarded last year when he won, either.
Better Talk Now deserves some sort of a medal for longevity. It would really help here if that medal caused the horse to run faster, because he'll need any help he can get to win here. Or at least that's how it looks on paper. He has run only three times this year, and missed his last start in August with a foot injury. Those three races were solid, though - he won the Manhattan and was third in the United Nations at Monmouth. He's won the UN before, so we know he likes the track and he only had one win before his 2004 win, so the lack of dominant form isn't a huge problem. He also managed to finish second last year in the Turf at 19/1. What I'm saying is that there is no solid reason to back this horse, but history has shown us that betting against him isn't a great idea. If the top runners have a rough day then Better Talk Now could pick up the pieces.
Neither of the former champions will be the favorite. That honor goes to Dylan Thomas, the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, who will likely be the shortest priced favorite on the card. He has five wins and three seconds in eight starts against the best that Europe has to offer this year, and none of the horses that have beat him will be at Monmouth. He destroyed Red Rocks in their only head-to-head of the year. The Arc-Turf was very soft, so he won't be phased by an off track. The downside exists, though - the Arc-Turf double seems like an almost impossible task with major races on two continents against top competition less than three weeks apart, and his only race on American soil, albeit on dirt, was a disastrous fourth in the Jockey Club Gold Cup last year. At the price he will go off at, this is the type of horse you have to either back whole-heartedly or totally right off, because the value isn't there to go halfway.
English Channel is back this year, and he is likely the top American hope. He was third last year, and he had the race in hand before weakening down the stretch. This year started very poorly with an ugly 12th in the Dubai Duty Free. He fared much better upon returning to the States, though, with two wins and two seconds, all in grade ones, including a win in the United Nations at Monmouth. He's won the UN twice in a row, and set the course record at 1 3/8 miles each time, so he is a horse for the course. He's been the heavy betting favorite the last times he has run in the U.S., so his supporters will be happy that the price on him is unfamiliarly high. It will still be low, though, so the challenge is figuring out if it is too low.
Grand Couturier is a puzzler. He came over from France last year for the Sword Dancer and has never left. He hadn't given us much to like until the Sword Dancer this year when he upset English Channel. He came back from that race in the Man O' War, and ended up third. Sunriver was second in that race, and came back last weekend to be a dull sixth in the Canadian International, so the third place result doesn't look great. He was horrible in July at Monmouth, but that race was just a mile, so there is little directly to be learned even though he didn't appear to love the surface. On his best day he is obviously competitive, but the price would definitely have to be right to make him worth a look.
The rest of the field has far less sparkle. Fri Guy has never been better than fourth in grade one stakes, and hasn't measured up to other runners in this field in previous tries. Shamdinan wasn't competitive in Europe, had a grade one win here in the Secretariat against a weak field, and has since struggled at shorter distances. I don't see how he is remotely competitive. Transduction Gold has never run in higher than a grade three, and has only won at that level once.
Re: Breeders Cup Turf
The Turf
Breeders' Cup Breakdown
The Turf
1 ½ miles(T); $3 million; 3up; 4:50 Saturday
The History
It owns the distinction of being the only event that had a dead heat for win when High Chapparal, who was winning his second Turf in a row, dead-heated with Johar in 2003. Foreigners have won over half of the 23 runnings but Manila and Theatrical did the US proud back in the mid 1980's.
Favorites: 8 for 23 (35%); Average Win Price: $23.88
The Best
It's hard to argue that Dylan Thomas doesn't deserve to be 7-5, the lowest priced morning line favorite in all eleven Breeders' Cup races this year. He's won three of Europe's premiere events this year – the King George at the Royal Ascot meet in England, the Irish Champion Stakes in Ireland and the Arc de Triomphe in France – all G1 events. He's 3 for 4 at the 1 ½ mile distance and is trained by Aidan O'Brien, one of the best in the business.
English Channel will look to run his record at Monmouth to a perfect three for three with a win in the Turf, a race he's run in the past two seasons. He won the past two runnings of the G1 United nations over this course and busted through a hole along the inside like an animal unleashed in the G1 Turf Classic at Belmont going this distance in his most recent outing for trainer Todd Pletcher.
2004 winner Better Talk Now will look to become the eighth horse in the history of the Breeders' Cup to win a race twice. Better Talk Now hasn't raced since a third place finish in this years United Nations. He defeated English Channel two starts back in the G1 Manhattan at Belmont.
Like Better Talk Now, Red Rocks will also be trying to win this for the second time after flying past better Talk Now and English Channel in last years renewal of the Turf. He's been an enigma since then, winning just a low-level G3 in England while not coming close to Dylan Thomas in two starts against him. Perhaps the Lasix he had in last years win will help him and his trainer Brian Meehan on Saturday.
The Rest Grand Couturier upset the Sword Dancer two back at over 15-1 before a third place finish in the G1 Man O' War last out. Shamdinan won the G1 Secretariat in his first start in this country on Arlington Million day. Fri Guy just missed in the Kentucky Cup Turf after an off the board finish in the Sword Dancer. Transduction Gold won the G3 Sycamore at this distance at Keeneland last out at over 15-1.
The Scenario Fri Guy figures to be alone on the lead with Transduction Gold and English Channel following behind. Look for Red Rocks and Dylan Thomas to set up shop in mid-pack while Better Talk Now, Shamdinan Grand Couturier will be towards the rear.
The Strategy
I see this being the most formful race of the day and can't imagine one of the top three choices not winning, especially Dylan Thomas who seems to have these over a barrel.
The Bomb
Shamdinan hasn't run that well in his two starts since the Secretariat but he'll be over 20-1 and is worth a flyer if you're a longshot player.
Re: Breeders Cup Turf
English Channel captures Breeders' Cup Turf
October 27th, 2007
Oceanport, NJ (Sports Network) - English Channel captured the $3 million Breeders' Cup Turf at Monmouth Park. The win snapped a long Breeders' Cup losing streak for trainer Todd Pletcher.
Only eight grass runners left the starting gate in the 1 1/2 mile event. Dylan Thomas, rated as the top thoroughbred in the world, was the 4-5 favorite and English Channel was the 3-1 second choice.
Longshot Fri Guy set the pace with Shamdinan, English Channel and Transduction following. The pace was very slow as the field went through the six-furlong mark in just under 1:20.
Around the turn for home English Channel and Shamdinan were alone in front. English Channel, ridden by John Velazquez, kicked away from the field to record a seven length victory.
Shamdinan finished second followed by 2006 champ Red Rocks and 2004 winner Better Talk Now.
English Channel, third in last year's running, covered the 1 1/2 miles in 2:36 4/5 on the soft going.
Owned by James Scatuorchio, English Channel has won three of his last four starts and adds $1.5 million to his earnings. In his career the five-year-old has won 13 of 23 races for better than $5.2 million.
This was Pletcher's first Breeders' Cup victory since the 2004 Sprint with Speightstown.
English Channel paid $8.00, $4.40 and $3.00. Shamdinan returned $17.60 and $9.40, and Red Rocks paid $4.60 to show.

Stupid of him, though. It started the rumors that Israel did it (which I do not believe, BTW). QUIT trying to get stuff on the backs of REAL victims!
If selected for publication, it will appear as soon as possible on Haaretz.com.
The Israeli newspaper Ma'ariv on Wednesday reported that Likud leader Benjamin Netanyahu told an audience at Bar Ilan university that the September 11, 2001 terror attacks had been beneficial for Israel.
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor."
Netanyahu reportedly made the comments during a conference at Bar-Ilan University on the division of Jerusalem as part of a peace deal with the Palestinians.
Meanwhile, Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad cast doubt over the veracity of the September 11 attacks Thursday, calling it a pretext to invade Afghanistan and Iraq.
"Four or five years ago, a suspicious event occurred in New York. A building collapsed and they said that 3,000 people had been killed but never published their names," Ahmadinejad told Iranians in the holy city of Qom.
"Under this pretext, they [the U.S.] attacked Afghanistan and Iraq and since then, a million people have been killed only in Iraq."
Speaking Wednesday at a news conference on the Iran threat, Netanyahu compared Ahmadinejad to Adolf Hitler and likened Tehran's nuclear program to the threat the Nazis posed to Europe in the late 1930s.
Netanyahu said Iran differed from the Nazis in one vital respect, explaining that "where that [Nazi] regime embarked on a global conflict before it developed nuclear weapons," he said. "This regime [Iran] is developing nuclear weapons before it embarks on a global conflict."

NVPerfGraph only showing main system CPU/memory, not GPU values
1 Attachment(s)
NVPerfgraph only offers me counters from the CPU and from main memory, none from the GPU.
Not sure what I'm missing. I can't think I need a DX10 GPU, right?
I have a 7800GTX and a 6200 in Debian/stable. I use an older Xorg release and the displays are :8.0 to :8.2, that's sometimes the main candidate for software getting confused (some hardcode to assume :0.0 but I can't think this tool does it).
Thanks for any help.
Re: NVPerfGraph only showing main system CPU/memory, not GPU values
Any idea what's wrong?

I've recently signed up and installed Plex, specifically for watching .wtv files on the Surface RT tablet I just purchased. I've been using media streaming servers like Remote Potato, AirVideo and Qloud to stream our recorded files to different devices I've owned for ages, but Plex is the only one I can find for Windows 8.
All the files I've tried seem to stream ok to my Windows Phone 8 and the Plex desktop program on my laptop (running Win 8 Pro). So the server seems to be working ok. But only a small number of files will stream to Windows 8 plex (whether on my SurfaceRT, or on the same Win 8 laptop).
I have tried .wtv, .mpg and .avi files. None of the .mpg or .avi files I've tried have worked. The loading dots just cycle forever, and up the top it says "HTTP Live Streaming - Opening". I've managed to get a couple of .wtv files to play, but almost all load forever, and never play. This is all just over local network for now (remote connection should work once local does).
It's a very clean, attractive app! And would make my awesome Surface RT experience that much more complete, so would be great to sort it out.
Thanks for your help!

My sketchy book of stuffs!
Hi there!
A little swede here, happily working with games as an animator atm and the first game I worked on for iOS was recently released!
Struggling to jumpstart myself to draw comics which I been wanting to do for a long time, but hopefully I can kick myself to get started soon enough.
I always like to hear any pointers taking me into the right direction so feel free to give any sort of feedback, I can take harsh, but honest crits!
As usual jump to the end of this sketchbook to see the most recent stuff =)

Wow! When you said colors, you weren't kidding! I'm just starting to get used to colors myself, but I think you should start off with a more muted base color, and then work your way into the the more vibrant colors of the piece. By the way, I love how little and curvy your figures are. They're so cute!
January 14th, 2010 #9
thank you, glad you like them
and about the colors, was just fooling around and made them very bright, not colors i usually work with :p

A four year old girl who studies in the pre primary section of a private school based in Karve Nagar has been allegedly sexually abused by her school bus driver and attendant. What's worse is that the girl's parents who learnt about the abuse on Friday had alerted the school authorities but the latter didn't bother to take any action.
Furious a mob of over 200 parents ransacked the school premises and even reportedly manhandled the management on Monday morning after some of them saw the same bus driver had reported to duty.
FIR Filed
According to Deecan Gymkhana police officials, "On Friday afternoon, the victim complained about pain in her private parts. Later she told her mother that the bus driver and male attendant did some dirty things with her. The shocked mother rushed her child to a gynecologist who did a detailed medical examination and confirmed sexual abuse. The victim's parent approached the principal praying to take stringent action against duo and lodging criminal FIR. Despite three days, the school did not took cognizance of the complaint which prompted the parents to take law in their hand."
Angry parents
Speaking to dna, a parent said, "The principal was aware about the incident and she remained mum about it. As per the new act under The Protection of Children from Sexual offense Act the school authorities cannot remain mum on such issue or even try to hush it up."
The parents added that for a few days the bus driver had stopped dropping the girl at the same point and taking the girl a little distance ahead to drop her off. When questioned by the mother, he had said the drop off point was a very narrow lane and due to traffic congestion, he was taking the detour.
The arrested persons have been identified as Amol Maruti Sherker who is attended of the bus and Vinayak Bhikaji Karanje the bus driver . The duo has been arrested under the relevant section of Indian Penal Code and also under the provision of The Protection of Children from Sexual offense Act

If you didn't get 172 when it was released for testing, I don't think you are going to get it. Think of it as a Toyota with faulty steering and brakes—DAZ recalled 172 because it was too buggy. 132 is the latest beta that is being released for testing at this time.
Install 132 and test it. Report any problems or concerns by filing a bug report. If you don't want to be an unpaid tester, don't install any build of 8.5.
Maybe the title of this thread should be changed to delete the "172" or the thread just closed completely.

Victoria Beckham splashes out for Harper's first Christmas
Published 14/12/2011 | 09:18
David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly spent thousands of pounds to ensure that their baby girl Harper has the best first Christmas ever.
The celebrity couple are well known for their lavish spending and ensuring that their family has the best of everything.
And Britain's Daily Mail is reporting that Victoria has ordered no expense to be spared for the holiday season which they will be spending at their £18million mansion in Hertfordshire, nicknamed Beckingham Palace.
The former Spice Girl turned fashion designer has drafted in London department store Fortnum & Mason to create a festive theme to be ready for the family's return from their base in Los Angeles.
The fashionista has apparently ordered six 10ft Nordic pine Christmas trees and requested at least £5,000 to be spent on each one for decorations plus another £5,000 for extra festive treats around the house.
"Victoria wanted the best of everything and liaised with the store directly to organise decorations," a source told the publication. "She seemed really excited about Christmas, knew what she wanted and was very specific."
"She ordered silver and glass decorations only, covering all six of the trees throughout the main rooms of the house and lots of decorations for the hallways."
David is said to have ordered a pair of pink football boots for his longed for daughter with her middle name, Seven, stitched onto them.
Victoria has reportedly bought sensory toys for Harper, funny slogan T-shirts for her three sons; Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz and a rare vintage Harley Davidson motorbike and photography kit for David.
The Beckhams will likely spend Christmas day with their best friends Gordon and Tana Ramsay as they have done for the past two holidays.
The Ramsays have five children which will make for a fun-filled occasion as well as handy with Gordon being a world-class chef.

Wow! I've never baked with buckwheat but now cookies are not just for Christmas anymore!
I remember Anise cookies as they were made only at Christmas time when I was a little girl. Anise cookies and Christmas go together and bring back fond memories.
Now this beats fruit cake anytime.
If they are crunchy, I'll love them.
Now you promise I won't gain weight, right? Yum!
Now the sea salt is a new twist for me. I'm going to try it.
I've got to try this recipe!
All these recipes will surely get me out of the rut of always making the same kind of Christmas cookie. Thanks!
Truffles and Christmas go together. It's time to indulge!
I absolutely have to try these.
I always include Gingersnaps in my Christmas collection. I'll have to try this recipe as it is a slight variation from my recipe.
Fudge and Christmas go together!

Japanese Asteroid Spacecraft On Its Way Home
The Hayabusa Japanese spacecraft, which is designed to return samples from an asteroid back to Earth, has completed an important step on its journey back.
The unmanned craft achieved the second and largest of four engine firings designed to guide the probe back home.
The probe visited the asteroid Itokawa in 2005 in order to capture soil during its journey.
However, the mission has been filled with technical glitches affecting the engines and communications with Earth.
It is still unclear whether the probe managed to grab material from Itokawa or not.
The Japanese Space Agency (JAXA) said over the weekend that Hayabusa had successfully completed its second Trajectory Correction Maneuver (TCM), guiding the spacecraft to Earth's "outer rim."
According to JAXA, the craft is now about 4,700,000 miles from Earth, and is set to return on June 13.
At about 24,800 miles from our planet, the Hayabusa "mothership" will release its sample return capsule.
If the craft failed to pick up large samples from the asteroid, then the capsule may still contain some residues from Itokawa.
Researchers have already been able to study remote sensing data sent back to Earth by the spacecraft during its encounter with the asteroid.
Hayabusa was launched from the Kagoshima Space Center in Japan on May 9, 2003.
The spacecraft arrived on the asteroid in September 2005 and returned images of the potato-shaped asteroid's jagged terrain.
Hayabusa – which manes "Falcon" in Japanese – made two "touchdowns" designed to collect rocks and soil for return to Earth. However, it apparently failed to fire a metal bullet designed to gather the samples.
Asteroids contain primordial material left over from the formation of the Solar System billions of years ago.
In 2005, a fuel leak left Hayabusa's chemical propellant tanks empty. Because of this, engineers had to use the spacecraft's ion engines to guide the spacecraft home.
Ion thrusters have a low acceleration but are highly efficient. This means that each trajectory correction takes much longer to complete than the typical chemical engines would.

A 46-year-old rickshaw driver in Thane has been booked for allegedly molesting his teenage daughter since last three years, police said today.
According to the complaint lodged by the 17-year-old girl yesterday, accused Vishwanath Mishra used to molest her whenever his wife and younger daughter were not at home, WPSI Amruta Chowre of Kapurbawdi police said.
Mishra lived in Kolshet locality here along with his family. The victim said she used to resist his advances reminding him of their relationship but was often hushed up with dire consequences and death threats, police said.
Fed up of the torture, she finally approached the police and lodged a complaint following which he was booked under section 354, 354(a)(i)(ii) of the IPC.
Mishra is absconding and a manhunt has been launched for him.

Vystar Polymer Consultant Ranjit K. Matthan, PhD to Present Paper at MARGMA's 5th International Rubber Glove Conference & Exhibition 2010 in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
ATLANTA, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Dr. Ranjit K. Matthan, polymer consultant to Vystar® Corporation, (OTC Bulletin Board: VYST), the exclusive creator of Vytex® Natural Rubber Latex, ("Vytex NRL") a multi-patented, all-natural raw material that contains significantly reduced levels of the antigenic proteins found in natural rubber latex, will present a paper at the 5th International Rubber Glove Conference & Exhibition, 2010. The conference, organized by the Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers' Association, has as its theme "Gloves ~ The Frontline of Barrier Protection," and will run from September 28-30, 2010 at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Dr. Matthan's paper is titled, "Balancing Material Acquisition and Production Costs: Quantifying the True Cost of Aluminum Hydroxide Treated Natural Rubber Latex." Dr. Matthan, explained, "The true cost of manufacturing is measured as the sum of the total costs throughout the production cycle. Sometimes more can be less. Water and energy stress caused by the growing global population is expected to reach historic proportions, driving supply levels down and costs up, and directly affecting business operations according to a recent United Nations report."
Dr. Matthan continues, "Vytex NRL addresses both of these burgeoning global environmental and manufacturing concerns. With its green beginnings, Vytex NRL is biodegradable and renewable unlike the petroleum-based synthetics in use today that can challenge acquisition, use, and disposal operations. Vystar Corporation has developed a multi-patented technology using green chemistry to remove proteins and other non-rubber impurities from natural rubber latex, creating Vytex NRL (modified NRL). With its significantly reduced antigenic protein content, upgrading to modified NRL can eliminate the need for added processing steps to lower protein levels, saving energy, water, supply, and material handling costs while enhancing quality of the end product."
William R. Doyle, President and CEO of Vystar, commented, "The fact that our paper was accepted by MARGMA is exceptional considering the focus of the conference being on gloves just as we successfully conclude glove trials in Malaysia and start utilizing Vystar Professional Support to help launch exam gloves made with Vytex NRL. Dr. Matthan is exceptionally well-qualified in his field. He holds a Doctorate in Polymer Chemistry and is a Fellow at the Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining in the UK, at the National College Rubber Technology in London, and at the Indian Rubber Institute. We are very fortunate to have him as one of Vystar's scientific advisors, and I believe his presentation will put forward a compelling economic and environmental case for using Vytex NRL in many varied industries."
The Malaysian Rubber Glove Manufacturers' Association (MARGMA) is the trade association representing rubber / latex glove manufacturers in Malaysia, and other supplier / supporting companies related to the industry, both local and overseas.
Established in 1989, the Association has been the voice and advocate for the industry in the country, dealing with government lead agencies and related trade associations in the promotion and protection of the interests of the manufacturers and the industry, as well as those of the supporting industries.
About the 5th International Rubber Glove Conference & Exhibition 2010 (IRGCE)
