San Martín is a city in the north-center part of the Mendoza Province in Argentina. It is the capital of the San Martín Department and constitutes, with Palmira and La Colonia, the third-largest metropolitan area in the province.
The first San Martín inhabitants were the Huarpe Milkayak people. The territory was governed by the tribal chief called Pallamay until 1563, when the first Europeans under the command of the Captain Pedro Moyano Cornejo, arrived to the area.
The city was known as Rodeo de Moyano or, alternatively, as La Reducción (Spanish: The Reduction); but its name was changed to Villa Los Barriales in 1816, when it was included in the Corocorto Priesthood of Mendoza Province and officially established by the Governor of Mendoza, Toribio de Luzuriaga.
San Martín came into prominence in the war of the Argentine independence period, when José de San Martín received an extensive land grant in the area to take advantage of agriculture and help the Chilean army of Bernardo O'Higgins in an effort to prevent new Spanish invasions from Chile to Argentina. In 1823, the governor Pedro Molina changed the name of the city yet again in homage to the Argentine general José de San Martín,[1] who, besides his inestimable historical role, contributed many innovations to the local farming sector and in viticulture, particularly.
In 1885, the first railway arrived in San Martin, uniting Buenos Aires with Mendoza and Chile. This development brought many Italian immigrants to the area from Buenos Aires; during the 1950s and '60s, National Route 7 was built between Buenos Aires and Mendoza Province, converting the city into an important distribution center along the most important highway between Buenos Aires and Santiago, Chile.
Palmira and his quest to become Autonomous Municipality[edit]
The district with the highest density of San Martin claims its independence and now has more than 12,000 signatures that support such an initiative. This is not the first time that jarilleros want their city to be declared department. The first initiatives date back to 1928, even to the Senate in 1990, but at that time did not reach a majority. Palmira were seriously damaged during the 90's with factory closures very important to the area and currently there is no economic activity involving livelihood, has declined both economically and socially, and now has more people than several departments. It would be a way reimpulsarlo, to separate it from San Martin can manage your budget and decide that prioritize public works. San Martin is saturated and this would be a way of letting descongestionarlo meet the demands of 40,000 inhabitants.From 2011 began circulating forms of adhesion to the proposal, making it about 30% of the population manifest their conformity with the project. And now it seems to take more force, and that began to appear in the posters and banners and even began organizing festivals and shows promoting palmirense longing. Why could become department? From the "Department Palmira Organizing Committee," its president Carlos Chacon, said "we have very solid foundations and the conviction that the initiative will pass, many years of fighting for this project. We administrate ourselves, choose our authorities, because today is not even a requirement that the municipal delegate living in Palmira ", and apparently those are not the only reasons: According to the National Census 2010, Palmyra has more people than departments santa Rosa, La Paz, Malargüe, Lavalle, Tupungato and San Carlos, and even almost equated with the department of Junín. The Provincial Constitution states in Article 208 that "the Legislature of the Province, may increase the number of municipalities, subdividing the departments, when required by the needs of the population with a majority of members of which each house." Besides projecting positive opinions of the Provincial Institute of Mendoza and Public Law Research Centre and Land Management Training (CIFOT) of the National University of Cuyo, who gave the nod to the initiative, said the organizing committee. So far, more than 12,000 signatures from neighbors endorse the project.

Seven people were killed and four injured when a seven-storey building collapsed on Friday morning in Vakola, Santa Cruz (East).
Around 11.45am, Shankar Lok Apartments in Yashwant Nagar near Vakola Masjid crashed with a substantial chunk falling on neighbouring Catherine chawl Nos 1 and 2, home to 25 families. Only two families lived in Shankar Lok. This was the fourth such incident in the past nine months. "I was standing in the balcony when I saw the third floor coming down," Sunanda Kadam, resident of a neighbouring building, said. "Within few seconds, the entire building crashed like a pack of cards in a whirl of dust."
Given the condition of the building, this was bound to happen, another resident said. "We have repeatedly asked the BMC to demolish the building. But no action was taken because of a legal matter," he said. "See what happened today."
Four people who were pulled out of the rubble are being treated at VN Desai hospital for head and leg injuries.
Shankar Lok, built about 31 years ago, was declared dangerous in 2007. The building posed a threat to the neighbouring chawl as well. In 2007, the BMC issued a stop work notice under section 354 of the Mumbai Municipal Corporation Act, 1888. Two more notices followed in 2008 and 2010. Most of the families vacated the flats one by one, except two families who continued to live in the ground floor flats.
One of the families was that of a lawyer, Sandhya Sridharan, who stayed with her sister Sudha and brother Satyam. The other occupant, Sanjeev Pandey, managed to escape in the nick of time. BMC officials say Sandhya had been fighting the civic body in the Bombay high court over vacating her flat. "Despite repeated warnings and notices, the family didn't vacate the flat. They entered into a legal battle and in December 2013, the court issued a stay order," Sanjay Deshmukh, additional municipal commissioner, said.
Another civic official said the court, however, made it clear that though they could continue staying in the building, the BMC won't be held responsible if something went wrong. The BMC filed three affidavits, telling the court that if the building collapsed it could damage neighbouring structures. "We were to approach the court again... But things went wrong before we could move," the official said.
The chawl residents were angry with the Sridharans for their "high-handed attitude". "We have been staying in this chawl for the past 40 years. Redevelopment talks were underway. The BMC warned us about Shankar Lok two days ago. But civic officials told us that they could do nothing because the Sridharans were contesting the eviction notice in court. I lost my wife [Chandanben Patel] because of somebody else's fault," Kanti Patel said.
Sandhya Sridharan who lost her sister Sudha in the collapse was in a state of shock and refused to talk to the media.
Ajit Kumar Ambi, assistant municipal commissioner (H-East ward), said the building was in a pathetic condition. "There were cracks in the walls; the beams and columns had corroded," he said. "In October, when we inspected the place, Shridharan filed a criminal case against us."
Local corporator Sunaina Potnis, who lives in an adjacent building, said Sridharan strongly felt that the BMC was trying to usurp her home. "They remained aloof most of the time, without interacting with any of their neighbours."
At the spot, MP Priya Dutt said she would try to help the affected. Mayor Sunil Prabhu visited the site and said a case of culpable homicide should be registered against the lawyer for delaying the demolition process. "I will talk to municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte," he said.
Apart from Sudha Sridharan, 32, and Chandanben Patel, 50, the other deceased are Ayush Pardhi, 5, Aditya Pardhi, 7, Rajashri Pardhi, 30, Sundarabai Pardhi, 66 and Louis Bobetura Nonas, 60.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Hurricane Sandy has been devastating for the Northeast; nevertheless, it could be good news for timber stocks as the region rebuilds, says Michael Underhill, portfolio manager for recently launched Capital Innovations Global Infrastructure, Timber and Agribusiness Fund (INNAX).
Welcome to TheStreet's Fund Manager Five Spot, where top fund managers give their best stock picks and views on the market in a five-question format.
What is your view of the economy and how will Hurricane Sandy affect it?
Underhill: We are in a high-volatility, low GDP growth environment so we believe that investing in food, forests and fuel will enable us to outperform. We have been focused in timber and forestry in holdings like Plum Creek Timber (PCL - Get Report) and diversified wood products exposure through Louisiana Pacific (LPX - Get Report). With the housing recovery and reduced supply of lumber and timber, there has been significant leverage to the upside in these positions. Confidence among U.S. homebuilders climbed in September to the highest level in more than six years, adding to signs of progress in residential construction.Finally, the economic impact of Hurricane Sandy reflects an initial $10-20 billion in total property losses, though this figure could end up being significantly higher. The "re-roofing" effect will keep lumber markets very tight well into the spring. A lot of the roofs were not just on your average priced house. What is your top stock pick? Underhill: I would say our favorite is Louisiana Pacific. Pine lumber prices in the U.S. South continued to rise in September and are now 35% higher than year earlier levels. LPX will benefit from higher lumber, OSB

It was an impressive show of support Tuesday from some big shots at a local elementary school who showed up to celebrate the first day of school.
Gov. Scott Walker, state Superintendent Tony Evers and Milwaukee Public Schools Superintendent Gregory Thornton all took part in a bell-ringing ceremony at Gilbert Stuart School, 7001 N. 86th St., to welcome students for the new school year. It made for good TV, if nothing else.
The first day of school should be a heartwarming scene for parents, teachers and, of course, eager young students embarking on the next chapter of a promising academic career. But in Milwaukee, it can seem more like a PR event for officials pretending they care about public school kids who often end up getting the short end of the stick.
Most of the students at Gilbert Stuart were probably too young to be cynical about the appearance of a governor who has drastically cut funding for public education. They also weren't equipped to challenge the superintendents of the state and the local school systems about some of the most daunting problems for public schools.
One of those problems is all those MPS students who fail to graduate each year. Another is a two-tiered education system that siphons money from public schools to support a school voucher program that recent studies have found offers little noticeable improvement in test scores over public school students.
Even elementary kids could figure out that means taxpayers in Wisconsin are paying for two education systems when one should be enough.
If the Gilbert Stuart students were savvier, they might have questioned all three about the results of budget cuts that created larger class sizes with fewer teachers and fewer school programs for music and the arts. They might even have asked why Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett didn't take part in the bell-ringing. (He has been at the Democratic National Convention.) After all, MPS is the largest public school system in the state and so important to the future of Milwaukee that Barrett actually proposed a mayoral takeover just a few years ago.
If these elementary students were more aware of the bigger picture, they'd probably ask why 26 states - including Wisconsin - are providing less funding per student to local school districts than in 2008, according to a recent report. Even with modest increases in per-pupil funding in Wisconsin this year, the amount still doesn't make up for what's been lost since the recession.
Explain that one to the kids.
If they were older and wiser, the kids at Gilbert Stuart might have viewed the whole bell-ringing thing with more skepticism. And they would probably feel the same way about any grown-up who tried to sell them on the idea that all kids deserve the best education possible, but then didn't do enough to make that happen.
If the kids were smart enough to figure out the scam being played on them, they would have demanded that Walker, Evers and Thornton tell them what they planned to do in order to improve things. Outside of ringing bells, I mean.
The first day of school is an important event, but for a failing school district like MPS it can seem like the start of another ride on the same old broken-down merry-go-round. As they become more aware, some MPS kids might look back and realize public school was a place where adults told them one thing and did something else.
That's a pretty valuable lesson whether it's the first day of school or not.

TBS, TNT and other cable TV networks that are popular with the 18-to-49 demographic could see demand for scatter inventory go up because of declining ratings this fall on broadcast channels, Cowen Group analyst Doug Creutz said in a note. Broadcast networks, with overall ratings off by 9% and 18-to-49 numbers down by 10%, are likely to have to provide make-goods to clients and therefore will have little inventory left for the scatter market, according to Creutz.

Sterling banned for life by the NBA
NEW YORK (AP) — Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned for life by the NBA in response to racist comments the league says he made in a recorded conversation.
Commissioner Adam Silver said he will try to force the controversial owner to sell his franchise. Sterling has also been fined $2.5 million, and Silver made no effort to hide his outrage over the comments.
"I fully expect to get the support I need from the other NBA owners I need to remove him," Silver said.
The rebuke, which came three days after the scandal broke, is the harshest penalty ever issued by the league and one of the stiffest punishments ever given to an owner in professional sports. Silver said a league investigation found the NBA's longest-tenured owner was in fact the person on the audiotapes that were released over the weekend.
"We stand together in condemning Mr. Sterling's views," Silver said. "They simply have no place in the NBA."
Sterling acknowledged he was the man on the tape, Silver said.
Sterling is immediately barred from attending any NBA games or practices, be present at any Clippers office or facility, or participate in any business or player personnel decisions involving the team.
He also cannot participate in any league business going forward. It's unclear how he will respond, and a lawsuit certainly seems possible.
"This league is far bigger than any one owner, any one coach and any one player," Silver said.
The fine will be donated to organizations dedicated to anti-discrimination and tolerance efforts that will be jointly selected by the NBA and the Players Association, Silver said.
"This has all happened in three days, and so I am hopeful there will be no long-term damage to the league and to the Clippers organization," Silver said. "But as I said earlier, I'm outraged so I certainly understand other people's outrage. This will take some time and appropriate healing will be necessary."
After the announcement, the Clippers' website had a simple message: "We are one," it read.
"We wholeheartedly support and embrace the decision by the NBA and Commissioner Adam Silver today. Now the healing process begins," the Clippers added in a statement released to the media.
Sterling's comments were released over the weekend by TMZ and Deadspin, and numerous NBA owners and players have condemned them. Even President Barack Obama weighed in on the crisis, the first of Silver's brief tenure as commissioner.
The league's investigation started Saturday and players immediately began expressing intense displeasure with the situation, even going so far as to ask Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson to get involved on behalf of the players' union.
"Commissioner Silver thank you for protecting our beautiful and powerful league!! Great leader!!," Miami Heat star LeBron James wrote on Twitter.
Before Silver took the podium, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban tweeted out a photo of the NBA Constitution, saying "It exists for a reason."
The announcement of the sanctions came just hours before the Clippers will play Golden State in Game 5 of a knotted-up Western Conference first-round playoff series.

Speeding EDA with GPUs
http://www.eetimes.com/ContentEETime..._pic_small.jpgUri Tal from Rocketick writes that GPUs offer great potential for speeding EDA processing.
There's a lot of potential in GPUs for those EDA applications that have parallelism potential. The GPU architecture is ideal for data-parallel processing; it is an incredible throughput-machine, if you give it the right code to run. However, a major effort is needed to redesign not only the software, but the underlying algorithms as well. For us at Rocketick, this redesign effort paid off. We are able today to simulate the largest chip designs in the world 10 to 30 times faster, compared to the leading simulators in the market.Read the Full Story.

Guest post by OKhi
The aim of running a Kenyan Lean series is to bring more startups in the Kenyan startup space together to share their learnings on product development and increase the speed of learning in the ecosystem. We believe there is a wealth of knowledge in our startup eco-system and we want to help startups leverage on this to build great companies.
Lean startup is a method for building products and businesses championed byEric Riesthat helps startup to be more innovative and to reduce risk by maximising their learning. If you are looking to get started or you are already on your startup journey, this will also be a good platform to pick out the best practices for building a great company.
Why we are doing this?
When we got started on OkHi earlier this year we had some very insightful conversations with other startups and entrepreneurs across the globe on how to build a great company. We have been able to make great progress from the insights we got from those conversations as well as our combined learning as a team, with more than 15-years experience building products and tech-businesses
How we plan to do it?
We are aiming to make it an experiential process of regular meet-ups where each session we:
- focus on one aspect of the lean business: UX, analytics, product management, etc.
- discuss our lean process for the last 4 weeks; share what went well, what didn't.
- give an overview of our plan for the next 4 weeks
- get other startups to provide insights into their lean methodology.
Who should participate?
Anybody who is currently or has previously ran a startup and is willing to share their learning from that process with full transparency on the product development process. As a startup, you will learn from others and in sharing your learning you will actually develop a self-analysis process that will help to ensure that your are maximising your own learning.
If you're planning to get started on the startup journey, this will also be a good platform to pick out the best-case practices for building a great company.
Get involved!
We would like to get your feedback on how best to structure these meet-ups. Please fill thisshort surveyto make sure we maximise your learning from this series.
We are holding the first event atiHub,Tuesday 29th Julyat 5:30pm. Signuphere: LINK

EU Bans Companies From Claiming Water Prevents Dehydration
In what can only be described as a bizarre ruling, the European Union (EU) has ruled that drinking water manufacturers cannot claim that their product prevents dehydration, or they could face up to two years in prison, various media outlets reported Friday.
According to Steve Doughy the Daily Mail, the ruling was handed down by a panel of 21 scientists following three years worth of deliberation, and "results from an attempt by two German academics" – Dr. Andreas Hahn and Dr. Moritz Hagenmeyer — "to test EU advertising rules which set down when companies can claim their products reduce the risk of disease."
"The academics asked for a ruling on a convoluted statement which, in short, claimed that water could reduce dehydration," Doughy added. "Dehydration is defined as a shortage of water in the body — but the European Food Standards Authority decided the statement could not be allowed."
Telegraph writers Victoria Ward and Nick Collins say that the policy will become official throughout the UK beginning next month, and despite the fact that National Health Service (NHS) guidelines "clearly that drinking water helps avoid dehydration, and that Britons should drink at least 1.2 liters per day," will prohibit bottled water companies from making such claims.
Giles Sheldrick of the Daily Express notes that the EU's European Food Safety Authority panel on Dietetic Products, Nutrition and Allergies "was ridiculed" following the ruling, which he refers to as "scarcely believable."
"This is stupidity writ large," Conservative MEP Roger Helmer told reporters after the verdict was handed down. "The euro is burning, the EU is falling apart and yet here they are: highly-paid, highly-pensioned officials worrying about the obvious qualities of water and trying to deny us the right to say what is patently true"¦ If ever there were an episode which demonstrates the folly of the great European project then this is it."
"I had to read this four or five times before I believed it," added UKIP MEP Paul Nuttall, according to the Daily Mail. "It is a perfect example of what Brussels does best. Spend three years, with 20 separate pieces of correspondence before summoning 21 professors to Parma, where they decide with great solemnity that drinking water cannot be sold as a way to combat dehydration."

Wheeler was arrested in Sept., 2011 after Bethany's body was found inside her Central Point apartment. He originally faced 10 charges, however six were dropped before Wheeler changed his plea Friday. All six of the dropped charges are related to arson.
The four charges that were not dropped include Murder and Arson, for which he pleaded Guilty, and Criminal Mistreatment and Abuse of a Corpse which ended in no contest pleas.
In court Friday, prosecutors outlined the evidence which led to the no contest pleas. They said there's proof Wheeler stabbed his ex-girlfriend 22 times in the neck, then used lighter fluid to try to set her body on fire. Several areas of Bethany's body were burned.
Wheeler chose to plead no contest to Criminal Mistreatment after learning the evidence the state had against him in regards to the daughter he shared with Bethany. Attorneys said the toddler was in the home at the time of the murder and contend Wheeler took the girl to a neighbor after Bethany's death with the intention of abandoning her.
During the investigation, attorneys said the neighbor told them Wheeler intended to leave the child with her "for a couple of days" and also left diapers. Another witness was quoted as saying Wheeler asked about ways to get a plane ticket without a driver's license. Attorneys argued that showed intent to leave the child for a longer period of time.
Both sides of the case discussed the change in plea with Bethany's family before it was entered into court Friday. They said the family agreed to the pleas to avoid a painful trial.
Sentencing in the case has not been scheduled.

Fun and loves life!
I'm a Colorado native who moved away after college and lived in Washington, DC, NYC and the Czech Republic. I moved back two years ago and don't see myself leaving again. I love the relaxing, laid back culture of Colorado, the mountains and wide open spaces and being closer to family. I am a fun, optimistic, well-traveled girl who loves life. I'm very close with my family. My favorite thing to do is travel. I just got back from Peru. My favorite place to be is outdoors -- hiking, running, riding my bike, snowshoeing or just enjoying the sun. But I also like relaxing inside, hanging out with friends, going to museums, theater, reading, listening to music (live or otherwise) or seeing movies. I started a new career in PR almost 2 years ago after working for 10 years as a TV news producer in NYC. I'm looking for a confident, fun, smart and honest 30 year old guy who's also looking for a meaningful and lasting relationship. I only respond to in-state emails, am open to interracial dating and am not looking to exchange emails endlessly. I would rather see if there's a connection in person!

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 GameCube
- Publisher: Activision
- Release Date: Nov 13, 2001
- Also On: PC, PlayStation 2
- Critic Score
- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Zipping along at 60 frames per second, you almost forget you're looking at a game. [Dec 2001, p.166]
It delivers all the clever, addictive gameplay that a THPS game should, and in higher resolution than ever before.
The Hawk may have competition, but it still flies higher than anyone else.
The controls have also been polished, and GameCubes controller is put to excellent use. The location of the Y button allows the gamer to press both A and Y, which makes grinding a lot easier, as the gamer must jump with A and grind with Y.
The graphics are pretty close to those of the PS 2 version but clearly some optimizations should have been made for GameCube hardware. The game generally runs fluidly, but slowdown and framerate problems rear their ugly heads noticeably from time to time.
An incredibly addictive experience that will see you tying your fingers into great fangled knots of joy. Essential. [GamesMaster Magazine]
I have to recommend the PS2 version of the game over the GameCube one for the simple reasons that the PlayStation's D-Pad ultimately feels a bit better and that the system supports online play.
For the most part, the graphics and gameplay are identical to its PS2 brother...[but, of course] the revolutionary online component is sadly missing from the Gamecube version.
For those who have the Dual Shock firmly hardwired into their psyche, switching over to the oddly-shpaed GameCube can prove difficult. [Feb 2003, p.96]
The GameCube version may be less jaggy than the original PS2 release, but its lack of online multiplayer and somewhat sketchy frame rate keep it from living up to its full potential.
So many games nowadays fall short when it comes to life span, but Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 is the very definition of value for money.
It has graphics that match, if not pass the PS2 version thanks to a lack of jaggies...Controller aside, it just felt better than the PS2 version.
Neversoft succeeded by sacrificing some of the polish that could have made the game a better by a smidgen. The framerate and lack of astonishing detail are valid complaints, but should not deter any Gamecube owner from buying this game.
It expands on the previous game with new stages, more tricks, an excellent and varied soundtrack and more. It just doesnt have much in the way of innovation.
The best skateboarding game ever but without multiplayer support, it falls a notch behind the PS2 version.
Even without the online multiplayer offered in the Playstation 2 version Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 is a near-perfect game.
With a slick combination of pleasing graphics, awesome music, huge environments to explore, and a killer combo control system, the game's replay value flies over the ramp and off the charts.
Visually, its a dead heat between the GameCube and PS2 versions, but both look fantastic, so who cares? [Jan 2002, p.202]

I find that hard to believe because the gameplay looks like 2004. This is among the best sports games I have played. Not only have the skateboarding physics improved, but the large amount of customization and fantastic level design are great. The controls can be very difficult, so I recommend this to more experienced players. You can not only create your own skater character, but also your own skate park!… Full Review »
DanielM.Nov 9, 2004Best extreme sports title made by a human.
[Anonymous]May 12, 2004This game is great, but not as good as THPS 4 in my opinion. And the music is great, and I have no idea why Ian and Shawn hated it.

The Battle Over "All You Can Eat"
by Mike Casey
posted May 17 2012 4:50AM
– Apparently when Chuck's Place advertises an all-you-can-eat fish fry, it doesn't
you can eat, as Bill Wisth discovered to his dismay Friday. The Wisconsin restaurant refused to give him any more fish after he ate 12 pieces, and eventually sent him off with eight additional pieces. Not satisfied, Wisth called the police, then returned two days later with a picket sign and says he plans to picket every Sunday until the restaurant revises its policy.
But the restaurant says it was running out of fish and that 53-year-old Wisth (who is 6'6", 350 pounds, and admits he can eat a lot) has been a problem before—he allegedly has a tab there that still isn't paid off, a waitress tells
. Police gave him a warning for disorderly conduct while he was picketing, reports
Mequon Now
. According to the police report, he had initially refused to pay his bill, but paid after being given the additional fish.
Mike's Thoughts: I'm all for consumer protection, but if you really need to eat more than 12 pieces of fish in one sitting I'd offer there are bigger issues at play here.

It tells us all we need to know that the gun lobby is deeply afraid of the facts and the evidence. This is why one of the most important actions the president took was to end the ban on research into gun violence by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention that the weapons lobby had forced through a compliant Congress.
Yet Obama and Vice President Joe Biden also worked hard to find middle ground in their anti-violence program in drawing on concerns raised since the Sandy Hook tragedy by gun rights advocates. Obama thus addressed not only firearms issues but also the imperative to improve school security and our mental health system, as well as the need to know more about the impact of violent video games.
Most heartening of all was the tone the president took. He did not cast himself as an evenhanded umpire far above the fray, handing down ideas that all people of goodwill would inevitably accept. He acknowledged that the battle ahead would be difficult. He predicted he would have to fight the lie that his plan constituted "a tyrannical assault on liberty." And he sought to mobilize a new effort to counteract the entrenched power of those who have dictated submissiveness in the face of bloodshed.
"Enough," Obama declared, insisting that change would come only "if the American people demand it."
Will we?

Rail & Intermodal
Canadian National Railway is buying more refrigerated intermodal equipment as the prospect of tighter regulation of food supply chains poses a challenge for shippers.
State-owned rail operator Container Corporation of India reported an 11.5 percent increase in consolidated net earnings in fiscal year 2014-15, which ended March 31, on the back of strong volume gains from its core international freight hauling activity.
Reports from New Delhi said train operations were returning to normal Friday following the end of week-long protests by ethnic Gujjars in the state of Rajasthan.
Civil unrest in parts of India is causing rail freight traffic chaos in the country's busiest northern corridor linking hinterland points around Delhi and major gateway ports on the west coast, including the largest port of Nhava Sheva.
U.S. shippers' expectations for freight growth has dropped to its lowest levels in nearly five years, according to a recent survey.
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang this week visited Brazil and other South American countries and offered to spend billions of dollars on major infrastructure projects, including in the ports and railroad sectors.
Norfolk Southern has announced changes in management responsibilities in its intermodal department, with expanded roles for Jeffrey S. Heller and Cary G. Booth.
Temporary duties placed on Chinese 53-foot domestic dry containers will be refunded after a U.S. trade commission ruled earlier this week that Chinese manufacturers did not have an unfair advantage over their North American competitors.
Contract truckload rates are defying economic gravity, rising in April when truck tonnage and spot market rates slipped. The cause: capacity. Shippers apparently are willing to pay more to secure it for the long-term.
German locomotive drivers on Thursday called off their latest strike —the ninth in 10 months – and agreed to refer their dispute with Deutsche Bahn, the state-owned railway company, to arbitration.

So it's winter, and you can't get your fix of fishing. This is a problem for Vermont anglers every winter, but this year it's particularly acute because all the outdoor things you do in the winter when you can't fish require snow. And, as you may have noticed, there isn't any. Not only is there no snow, but as I write this column it is 46 degrees outside and the long-range forecast offers no promise of significant snowfall in the next 10 days.

ADDISON COUNTY — On Friday, Feb. 3, at around 9:30 p.m. Vermont State Police received a 911 call from a man who claimed to be a resident of Hancock. The man gave his name, said he was going to kill his mother and hung up.
Troopers responded to the last known address of the alleged caller in Hancock and through investigation determined that the person who called 911 was not the person the caller claimed to be.
MIDDLEBURY — Middlebury police launched an investigation into the reported sexual assault of a local woman on Feb. 5. Police received the report from the Porter Hospital emergency room, where the victim had gone for treatment.
In other action last week, Middlebury police:
• Responded to a domestic violence report at a Benedict Lane residence on Jan. 30. Police arrested Matthew A. Cooke, 20, of Middlebury on a mittimus warrant from Vermont Department of Corrections and took him to court.
VERGENNES — Vergennes police filed felony burglary and grand larceny charges after the Feb. 1 theft of more than $2,400 from the GoGo Gas Station, and also added a heroin possession charge for one of the two people allegedly involved in the burglary.
I'm not the dyed-in-the-wool football fan I used to be.
But I tuned in Sunday to watch the New York Giants snatch the momentum away from the New England Patriots late in the second half, and saw Eli Manning march his team down to a sure winning field goal and accidentally stumble in for the winning touchdown instead.
OK, OK. We'd had numerous people stop and ask various members of the Addison Independentstaff about the new décor on our southern-facing roof.
We put up two banks of solar panels on our roof late this fall, and they've generated a lot more interest than I might have expected. So, here's the story:
We'd had a slow leak in our roof this past fall, ruining a ceiling tile or two, and causing us to push the photocopier off to the side for a couple days. Nothing major, but something to fix.
Since moving into our old farmhouse five years ago, Mark and I knew we'd eventually like to make some improvements. With a combination of indecision, insufficient funds and outright hostile disagreement, however, we've never gotten around to any renovations. But this winter's oddly pleasant weather has given us the opportunity.
Updated 2/7/12, 3pm
BRISTOL — Vermont State Police on Monday evening cited Vergennes Union High School Co-Principal Edwin Webbley for driving under the influence of alcohol, an action taken after VSP received a call from his wife at their Bristol home and were told Webbley's car had struck the back of their garage.
According to a VSP press release, Webbley's wife, Carrie Askren, told VSP at about 6:50 p.m. on Monday that Webbley was "intoxicated and that he was a danger to himself and others."

Either Cote d'Ivoire or Greece or potentially both will play their final match of this year's World Cup at the Estadio Castelao on Tuesday. The equation is simple for the Africans, win and they are through to the last 16 for the first time; lose or draw and they must hope that Colombia avoid defeat against Japan. For Greece the situation is rather more complicated, with their future resting entirely on their ability to win only a second finals match in nine attempts.
Cote d'Ivoire must bounce back from a 2-1 loss at the hands of Colombia last time out, though their opening match success over Japan suggests that they have the firepower to overcome the Europeans. Greece have yet to even find the net in the competition thus far. After losing 3-0 against the South Americans as the curtain lifted on their tournament, they responded with a typically gritty scoreless draw against the Samurai Blue, having seen Kostas Katsouranis dismissed with the veteran of 113 caps subsequently banned for this encounter.
Head coach Fernando Santos, who will step down at the end of the competition, has seen Kostas Manolas and Kostas Mitroglou, who was withdrawn in the first half of the Japan clash, train apart from the group owing to minor injury problems, but both are expected to be fit to feature in this encounter, though the latter could well be dropped. The wizened figure of Giorgos Karagounis is expected to win his 138th cap in this clash, probably from the start of the game for the first time at this competition.
Meanwhile, a shadow has been cast over the camp of the African side owing to the death of the Ibrahim Toure, younger brother of Yaya and Kolo, on Friday. Both men will carry on in the competition and will be eager to honour their sibling by securing progress through to the knockout stages. No dramatic alterations are expected in Sabri Lamouchi's starting XI, although it is possible that Yaya Toure will occupy a more defensive role, allowing Salomon Kalou to come into the team in a more offensive position.
Fact File:
This will be the first ever meeting between Greece and Ivory Coast.
Greece's previous World Cup games against African opposition were both against Nigeria, losing in 1994 (0-2) and winning in 2010 (2-1).
Greece have only won one of their 8 games at World Cup (Lost-6).
Greece have failed to score in seven of their eight World Cup games while their clean sheet last time out against Japan was their first ever at a World Cup.
Ivory Coast have conceded two or more goals in five of their eight World Cup matches.
Gervinho is the first Ivory Coast player to score in consecutive World Cup matches.
Eight of Ivory Coast's 12 goals at the World Cup have been scored after the 60th minute of games.
The Ivorians have scored in seven of their eight World Cup games.
Five of Ivory Coast's last nine World Cup goals have been headers.

I never seen this functionality in GW so far. Can someone confirm if you had the same expirience? Official comment from arena would also be appreciated if they were testing this new functionality during event.
