Thanks to the rumblings produced by the single Umma Do Me, ATL's Rocko received a major label deal with Island Urban Music to release his upcoming debut, Swag Season. A possible inclusion on that debut is the non-single, This Morning, where the Rowdy Records co-founder once again covers hip-hop's three most popular modern day subjects: money, money and more money. While his fiancée Monica (yes, Monica the popular singer) might have a problem with the line "I never had a wife/I'm married to the cash, she treat her daddy right," producer Marvelous J provides a backdrop that should help Rocko's boo not even think twice. Self-Made will be released in the spring of '08.

CYRPESS – The game is dying, slowly but certainly, and maybe you're among the masses wondering what lingering value, if any, horse racing still holds these days.
Perhaps it remains the Sport of Kings, but exactly how many kings are left in the world? You know what other activity is referred to as being a sport of kings? Falconry. Good luck trying to convince people of the value of that.
Even on nights with live racing, most tracks have largely empty grandstands and hollow hallways. On simulcast days, the places look like elaborate gambling man-caves for white-haired lifers, greasy guys in track suits and the decidedly degenerate.
Trust me, I know. I fit right in whenever I'm there.
But let's go back now to the barns at Los Alamitos Race Course, where the Hadley family can be found – a mother and father, their two sons and the sons' girlfriends – a family held together by horse racing and proudly striding arm-in-arm toward the winner's circle.
Even Dad, who's confined to a wheelchair.
Yeah, who needs this sport anymore?
"We decided if we were going to keep doing this," Susan Hadley says, "we were going to do it as a family and be partners, just like Sherm and I were. I'm so proud of how everything has worked out."
An accomplished trainer, Sherman Hadley was injured in an accident on the family ranch in Ogden, Utah, in 2008. Three bales of hay – 800 pounds each – fell, and the last thing he would do before being crushed was push his younger son, Garrett, out of the way.
Sherman suffered a brain injury that required the removal of half his skull. He had a stroke that paralyzed his left side and stole much of his ability to communicate.
He spent five months in the hospital and, for the next two years, the Hadleys struggled to grasp their new normal.
They were horse breeders, as well, and Susan thought they might have to be content focusing on that. But racing – still, believe it or not – can touch certain people deeply, the Hadleys among that group.
So they would continue training, as long as someone was willing to try to fill the gaps Sherman's accident had created.
"Jordan had to grow up fast," Susan says of the couple's elder son. "Overnight, really. Both boys had to. I couldn't do it without them."
Then 17, Jordan dropped out of day school to attend classes at night so he could work on the ranch, assisting in the training and becoming a jockey. One of the early lessons he learned: "In this business, if you don't do it, it doesn't get done."
The Hadleys are now back to training 24 horses, still breeding and have a filly, Feature Miss Alibi, running here Saturday night in one of the races of the Bank of America Challenge.

Jayson Castro is not looking ahead at the World Cup of basketball in Spain next year. Not yet, anyway.
It may be at the back of his mind, but the daredevil guard of Gilas Pilipinas is focusing on his team's PBA campaign in the Governors' Cup which starts today.
Although the entire Gilas squad, including the coaching staff, deserves credit for the country's successful bid to play in the World Cup, Castro shone brightest in the galaxy of Filipino players during the FIBA Asia Championship campaign.
So it was not surprising that from among several stars, Castro was named to the Mythical Five, a singular honor for the Philippines and a personal achievement for a player who had been through several teams and trials in roller-coaster career.
In nine games, Castro averaged 11.8 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.0 assists to earn a place into the Mythical Five alongside shooting guard Kim Mingoo of Korea, small forward Lin Chih-Chieh of Taiwan, Iran's center and Most Valuable Player Hamed Haddadi and power forward Oshin Sahakian.
His finest hour, Castro said, was during their emotional 86-79 victory over Korea that secured Gilas' entry into next year's FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain.
In that game where center Marcus Douthit rode on the bench with an injured calf muscle in the second half, Castro and Marc Pingris alternately outfoxed and outsmarted their Korean counterparts.
Pingris tallied 16 markers and Castro went on to finish with 17 points.
"Parang feeling ko na ako ang kayang mag-drive all the way, kaya everytime when we get the rebound hinihingi ko bola tsaka nakikita ko na may open sa low block, especially sila (Pingris) at Japeth," said Castro.
He continued his aggressiveness even against Hamed Hadadi and the rest of Iran in the championship game, scoring 18 points in a losing effort.
Castro's performance completed a long road in his career that began with the Philippine Youth team in 2004 followed by his sensational stints with Philippine Christian University in the NCAA, Harbour Centre in the now-defunct Philippine Basketball League and currently with Talk N' Text in the pros.
He also played for the Harbour Centre-backed Philippine team in the 2007 SEA Games in Thailand before suiting up for Singapore Slingers in the National Basketball League in Australia.
Though he's looking forward to the prospect of playing in the World Cup against the best of the best, particularly American stars from the NBA, his main focus for now is to return with Talk N' Text for the season-ending Governors' Cup.

New Liverpool signing Andrea Dossena admits he's taken great pride from his move to Anfield.
"It is an honour to be wearing such a prestigious shirt," former Udinese fullback Dossena told liverpoolfc.tv. "It was great for me that Liverpool were so determined to have me in their squad. It is a very important shirt to wear and I will do my best. I have a great will to work hard and succeed and achieve great results.
"Of course I'll feel very strong emotions when I wear the shirt at Anfield for the first time but after the first few seconds these will be replaced by a focus on what I am doing.
"There are so many great players here and I hope to be playing beside them as soon as possible.
"I believe I will bring determination as my main strength. I have a will to succeed and achieve results. These are also characteristics I have seen in Liverpool as a team."

Introducing Nada Loutfi
Critics at her solo recital at the Dayton Art Institute compared Nada Loutfi to legendary pianists Gina Bachauer and Clara Haskil. Following her American orchestral debut (Beethoven with the Louisville Orchestra), conductor Lawrence Leighton Smith said, "I have rarely felt so satisfied in a collaboration … She is a major talent."
Nada Loutfi has performed in solo recitals, with chamber ensembles and as soloist with orchestras in Europe, the Middle East and the United States. She gave a triumphant performance in the Salle Montaigne of her native Beirut, Lebanon, her first performance there after an absence of 11 years. The recital inspired critics to write, "Nada Loutfi has the modesty of the greatest. One can no longer find the interpreter, only the music, and that reverence of a hall left absolutely breathless." (Orient-le-Jour, Beirut, Lebanon)

Electronics recycling hits 100 million pounds
Electronics recyclling has hit 100 million pounds during the first three years of the program, the Department of Natural Resources reported.
Starting in 2010, the state banned most electronic goods from landfills. This year more than 39 million pounds of old TV, computers and other electronics have been recycled.
Nearly all the metal and plastic can be separated and recycled. Still, the DNR says that landfills are reporting that they still find electronics in their waste streams.
State recycled 35 million pounds of e-waste in first full year of program
More than 35 million pounds of electronics – 6.2 pounds of electronics per person – were recycled in the first full year of the state e-cycling program, for the period ending June 30.
Department of Natural Resources officials are pleased with the results, and emphasize that the mandated program relies on private markets to move unwanted computers, TVs, cell phones and other products from landfills for re-use for other purposes.
During the first year of the program, covering a 6-month period, the DNR said that 10.4 million pounds of electronics were recycled. »Read Full Blog Post(1)
Groups ask Walker to reconsider end to recycling mandate
More than 150 organizations, including dozens of Wisconsin municipalities, have asked Gov. Scott Walker to reconsider his plan to eliminate the state's mandate requiring local units of government to run recycling programs.
The groups, including the Associated Recyclers of Wisconsin, say the state's recycling program has strong support and provides economic benefits by cutting the flow of garbage to landfills and providing recycled waste to industry. The groups writing a letter to Walker included 23 cities, 24 villages and 25 townships. Environmental groups and companies from the private sector also signed on. »Read Full Blog Post(11)
Four Republicans oppose Walker's bid to end reycling mandate
Four Republican lawmakers have criticized Gov. Scott Walker's proposal to end the mandate on local governments to run recycling programs.
The Republicans all said the mandate is needed to assure that waste is recycled and not thrown into landfills.
They are: Senate President Mike Ellis (R-Neenah,) Sen. Rob Cowles (R-Green Bay,) and Reps. Robin Vos (R-Burlington) and John Nygren (R-Marinette.) »Read Full Blog Post(80)

Remove the slide. Push the locking block pin in about ¼ ways in left to right. Push the trigger pin in about ¼ or more ways in. remove the slide stop lever. Push the locking block pin back in. Install the slide stop lever push the trigger pin back in. If it still does not work you bent the slide stop lever spring.
You will probably have to wiggle the slide stop lever when trying to push in on the trigger pin.

Far better than staying up at Alhambra itself which also cost three time as much. Fantastic view of Alhambra and an easy walk into town. Small establishment very new and clean with very friendly and helpfull staff. Highly recommended. Really in an ideal location. No breakfast but plenty of options a short walk away down hill!

Is CU2 for SQL Server 2012 SP1 supported as well or just SP1 no CU?
@Justin: Short answer yes.
Long answer: We only publish support announcements for major releases and service packs of products we interoperate with as they can contain architectural and design changes that may affect the functionality of our products. Certifying our products on those releases require significant test effort and may sometimes require updates to our products.
Hotfixes and hotfix rollups/cumulative updates on the other hand are intended to be comparatively small contained bug fixes. Installing a SQL CU would not make a Configuration Manager installation unsupported.
I installed SQL 2012 with SP1 Standard addition, making a named pipe called CONFIGMGR. I then verified that TCP/IP connection was enabled and then turned on named pipe connections. After rebooting, I started up the one service that was set to manual and verified that the other two services were running. After all that, I could not get Configuration Manager 2012 SP1 to connect to the database. In case it matters, I'm using a hyper-v 2012 server that is running Server 2012 Standard for the install. I'm going to try again and let the CM installation wizard do whatever it wants to with 2008 SQL.
It seems my sin was to make my own instance rather than using the default instance. CM SP1 is running on SQL 2012 SP1 not that I'm using the default instance of MSSQLSERVER. I'm surprised by this as it actually has a blank in CM setup for you to put a particular instance name.
Hi Yvette.
Do yoo know when SQL 2012 SP2 will be officially supported by Configmgr 2012 SP1?
@Claus, please see our announcement here:

This was so easy with the Partselect video. I removed the back of the dryer (9 screws) with a pair of pliers. Took a picture of the cycling thermostat with a digital camara, just in case I mixed up the wires. I removed 4 wires and two screws, screwed in the new cycling thermostat and reattached the wires. NOTE: wires can be pretty tight, a pair of needle nose pliers would have helped.Unfortunately, my wife did not mention that the dryer was not getting hot, only that the timer did not advance. I hopped back online, ordered the heating element and the thermal fuse, debated about paying for a next day delivery and decided against it. I placed the order on a Thursday night at 10:00 p.m. It shipped Friday and arrived on Saturday evening. I was not expecting it until Wednesday!! The Dryer is working like new, my wife thinks that I'm a genious and I'm just happy I did not have to help lug clothes to the laundromat Sunday!!!LT

But the Y's developmental programs go far beyond bodily strength; their enrichment and leadership courses equip youths with the confidence needed to take charge in their everyday lives, and ESL classes help newcomers to English embark on the next step of their linguistic lives.776 Washington StDorchester Center, MA US

Trend Micro Delivers Online Freedom With Smarter 2009 Consumer Security Suites
CUPERTINO, Calif., Sept. 11 /PRNewswire/ — Trend Micro, Incorporated , a global leader in Internet content security, rolled out today the 2009 versions of its flagship consumer products. Trend Micro(TM) Internet Security and Trend Micro(TM) Internet Security Pro keep consumers' data and personal information more secure from online threats by offering significantly lighter memory load, faster installation, and more effective protection. The products are powered by the Trend Micro(TM) Smart Protection Network, a cloud-client security infrastructure that correlates Web, and email threat data by using reputation technologies that compare threats against in-the-cloud threat databases.
"In this year's release, we focused on developing products that offer smarter protection against data-stealing threats, along with the smallest impact on computer resources. Customers will experience up to over 40 percent lower memory usage and nearly 50 percent faster boot-up time," said Carol Carpenter, vice president of global marketing for the consumer business unit. "Then, by leveraging the Trend Micro Smart Protection Network, Trend Micro offers our customers the strongest real-time protection against the latest Internet threats while enjoying online activities to the fullest."
New and enhanced features help consumers "get smart" about Internet-usage
— An enhanced Home Network Security Management function allows users to see and remotely manage other computers in their home network through a graphical home network map and block wireless network intruders. Plus, Trend Micro provides an extra layer of protection by scanning for suspicious links from email, Web sites, or instant messages. Spam blocking is also bolstered – - regardless of volume, spam gets blocked without adversely affecting computer performance.
— With enhanced parental controls, parents can better tailor controls depending on the particular family member. New functionalities include the ability to control the date and time each child can go on the Internet. Parents also have the option to specify categories of information (such as home addresses, telephone numbers, passwords, etc.) they do not wish to be sent from a computer.
— The Security Activity Dashboard gives customers a comprehensive and customizable snapshot of all the security activities on their computers through easy-to-use charts and graphs. By learning more about when and how their computers can be attacked, users can surf more securely and intelligently.
— The Quick Scan feature checks for threats in the places they are more likely to hide in a fraction of the time that Full Scan takes. It works alongside the product's state aware feature, meaning scans and updates happen only when it's convenient for users — no inconvenient in-product messages while they are watching a video, conducting a PowerPoint presentation, or playing a computer game.
— For those who would like to extend the Trend Micro protection to their smartphones, Trend Micro Internet Security Pro offers mobile security against viruses, SMS text message spam, malware attacks, data theft and service disruptions.
Trend Micro consumer security suites come in two flavors: Trend Micro Internet Security and Trend Micro Internet Security Pro. Trend Micro Internet Security Pro offers additional features that are optimized for performance, laptop usage away from home, and online banking and shopping.

Both Trend Micro Internet Security and Trend Micro Internet Security Pro will be available online on September 11 at http://www.trendmicro.com/.

The subscription prices for one year are $49.95 and $69.95, respectively for Trend Micro Internet Security and Trend Micro Internet Security Pro.

VA to add about 1,900 to mental health staff
Thursday - 4/19/2012, 11:14pm EDT
By ERIC TUCKER
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Department of Veterans Affairs said Thursday it was increasing its staff of mental health workers by roughly 1,900, part of an effort to address a shortage of specialists and to better prepare for the medical needs of veterans returning home from war.
The department plans to add about 1,600 clinicians, including psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, social workers and professional counselors, and about 300 support staff to an existing mental health staff of roughly 20,590.
"As the tide of war recedes, we have the opportunity, and the responsibility, to anticipate the needs of returning veterans," VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said in a statement. "History shows that the costs of war will continue to grow for a decade or more after the operational missions in Iraq and Afghanistan have ended. As more veterans return home, we must ensure that all veterans have access to quality mental health care."
The new hires follow a months-long VA review that determined shortages in mental health staff nationwide, leading veterans in some areas to wait longer than they should for treatment, VA Under Secretary for Health Robert Petzel said in an interview. Recruitment is expected to begin soon, and the VA plans to attract specialists from the military, the private sector and fresh out of school, Petzel said.
"We feel as if we need to add additional personnel," he said.
The move was cheered by Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, which also called on the VA to reduce its claims backlog and urged President Barack Obama to issue a national call for service for mental health professionals.
Since 2007, the VA has experienced a 35 percent increase in the number of veterans receiving mental health services. The department says it's made strides in part by developing a more extensive suicide prevention program and by increasing the number of counseling centers.
The mental well-being of U.S. veterans has been a critical area of concern in recent years, especially amid reports showing high suicide rates and long wait times for those seeking treatment. A VA survey released last fall, for instance, reported that nearly 40 percent of the 272 mental health providers surveyed said they could not schedule a new patient for an appointment in their own clinic within the VA-mandated window of 14 days, and 70 percent said they lacked adequate space and staff.
Petzel said those problems were largely a reflection by vacancies and a staff shortage, problems the new hires are intended to address.
Rep. Jeff Miller, a Florida Republican and chairman of the House Veterans' Affairs Committee, said the announcement was a good start, but that the VA also needs to strengthen training of employees who encounter veterans suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.
"Right now, too many veterans fall through the cracks. We can avert tragedy with the proper outreach and care," Miller said in a statement.
Sen. Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee, has scheduled a hearing on the topic for next week. She noted that the VA's announcement comes days before the release of an inspector general's report on the subject, but Petzel said the review had been underway for months and was not timed to the report. Murray said the new hires were "desperately needed" at a time when "staff vacancies, scheduling delays and red tape" are leaving veterans without the help they need.

Projects involve Teaching, Care, Medicine & Healthcare Projects - including Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Nursing and Midwifery, Veterinary Medicine and Sports.
Where we are Based in India
Projects Abroad India has its office in Jaipur.
Despite India's colossal size, you will experience a strong sense of community in Jaipur. You'll be treated as an exciting addition to any family or school that you join for your placement.
General Information in India
To live in India is to participate in a lifestyle that is unlike anything you'll experience in the West. The most mundane tasks often become adventures. Everything is colourful, nothing is predictable. Life – especially in urban areas – is truly chaotic. The sights, sounds and smells that greet you in each new place will overwhelm your senses.
India is the world's seventh largest country but the second-most populated, with this being particularly evident in its overcrowded cities. However, tribal Indian society remains strong, especially in the uplands and woodland areas. Economically, India has taken the positive elements from its colonial past and developed a sound, well-developed infrastructure, although the exploding population means that this is often tested beyond capacity.
The cultural heritage of India dates back over 5000 years. You'll find fifteen official languages, a diverse array of religions and spiritual practices, a wide variety of performing arts, colourful festivals almost every day of the year, and tradition and variety in all aspects of life.
Travel and Tourism in India
From the towering Himalayas that mark India's northern borderlands through to its plains, deserts and tropical rainforests, this is a country of awe-inspiring ancient temples and colourful tribal villages.
Northern India will allow you to tick off many of India's most classic tourist destinations including the majestic Taj Mahal in Agra and the captivating pink city of Jaipur. You could also explore the state of Rajasthan.
Almost every village in India is connected to the rest of the country by a vast fleet of rickety buses, and an elaborate train service. Public transport ranges from the eccentric to mind-boggling – an orderly queue is an alien concept!

Nirvana, KISS among Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees
Published on Apr 11, 2014 2:45 AM
NEW YORK (REUTERS) - Grunge band Nirvana, flamboyant rockers KISS, country-rock singer Linda Ronstadt and chart-toppers Hall and Oates were among artists being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame on Thursday, at a ceremony marked by expectations that many inductees will either not perform or show up at all.
Ronstadt, who revealed last year that she is battling Parkinson's disease, will not attend, while neither KISS nor the surviving members of Nirvana - founder Kurt Cobain committed suicide in 1994 aged 27 - is expected to perform.
That leaves only British singer-songwriters Peter Gabriel and Cat Stevens, and duo Hall and Oates as performing inductees, although Chris Martin, Glenn Frey, Michael Stipe, Questlove, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Asher and Tom Morello are set to appear - though not necessarily perform.
Stevens, who goes by the name Yusuf Islam, was confirmed just days ago after the folk singer had trouble securing a visa to travel from London. His induction, he wrote in the current issue of Rolling Stone, "will no doubt do much to heal the scars that many years of separation have caused and help to reconnect people to my legacy, which still speaks loud and clear in my music." And it could signal a return to the spotlight for the "Wild World," "Peace Train" and "Moon Shadow" singer after decades of not performing.

Vimla Kanwar, a 70-year-old widow, had a problem. After her husband, a handloom yarn spinner, died of cancer, the officials at the Khadi Gram Udyog took away his charkha. Concerned about finding a means of survival at her age, Vimla decided to ask for help. But instead of pleading with government officials, she decided to knock at the doors of the Kuchaman Vikas Samiti (KVS).
Inside the samiti's office, Om Prakash Kabra, also in his 70s, listened to Vimla intently. I watched their interaction closely. Vimla was a woman in distress, her voice breaking down and quivering as she narrated her ordeal. Kabra was friendly in his manner, his tone bold yet polite. "Koi baat nahi. Aap dariye mat," he told her and handed her Rs.3,500 and some food grain. As she left, he picked up his phone and dialled a number. By evening, Vimla had got her charkha back. Meanwhile, the municipal body has initiated the process to get Vimla help from the Chief Minister's relief fund.
"Problem solved," he told me with a smile and returned to his work of building a city. "We still have to look at the sanitation problem in schools," he said. Kabra is the president of KVS. The wall near his seat features the legend: Kuchaman Vikas Samiti. Shiksha. Svasthaya. Seva. For the last 30 years, the samiti, founded and registered in 1978 by the late Bal Krishna Sarda, a wealthy businessman-turned-social activist, has been working to develop Kuchaman City, equipping it with all the modern facilities available in big cities. And it has met with considerable success.
Not long ago, Kuchaman, spread across 10km in the backward Nagaur district of Rajasthan, with a population of 70,000, was like a remote village, deprived of the most basic facilities. Its only claim to fame was that it produced salt and marble. Today, Kuchaman is a major trading hub and is known as "shiksha nagri", the second biggest education centre in Rajasthan after Kota. According to Jagadish Rai, block development officer, Kuchaman, 55,000 children from 132 neighbouring towns, villages and dhanis come to Kuchaman every day to study in its 109 schools, colleges and vocational learning institutes. "Every year, one or two state toppers in the Class X and XII boards hail from Kuchaman," says Kabra. At the centre of this transformation story are the efforts of KVS.
Operating from a two-storeyed building, the samiti today manages projects worth over Rs.100 crores in the areas of education, health, social service and city development. The NGO runs eight schools, colleges and technical institutes that provide education from nursery to post-graduate level in subjects like science, arts, commerce, conferring degrees like BCA, BBA and B.Ed. "We also have a tie up with IGNOU, Delhi, and are planning to start an MBA and MCA college soon," says Kabra. The project cost is Rs.1 crore. "Only recently, a company in Noida hired 15 of our BCA students," he adds.
The samiti has various kinds of scholarship schemes like the UGC fellowship, where 50 per cent of the course fee is waived, and a CM scholarship plan where Rs.500 is awarded every month for five years. At present, a third of all students in the samiti's institutes are on scholarships and, in the last year, the NGO awarded Rs.10 lakh in grants. There are also financial incentives to promote girls' education. "The samiti supports nearly 50-100 per cent of the education fees of poor and orphaned girls," says Kabra. Also, the college bus fee is exempted for girl students from poor families.
The samiti's model is simple. Like any NGO, it works using money collected through donations. But its success has come from making the people of Kuchaman, whether residing here or in other cities or even outside the country, feel duty-bound towards their hometown. For this purpose, the samiti has organised the Kuchaman Pravasi Meet three times. The meet isn't just for collecting more donations, but also to invite ideas from Kuchaman citizens on how to improve their city. Among the regular attendees and donors is the B.K. Birla family, which has donated close to Rs.6 crore in the last 20 years, built two impressive marriage halls and has set up the Institute of Technical Education.
But the samiti's work hasn't been without problems. In 2009, the samiti built a computer lab at a local girls' school. "But the government doesn't provide us with computer trainers because the lab has not been built by them," says Soni Devi, principal, Somani Devi Girls School. So now the samiti provides the trainers, and sometimes, the teachers pitch in with their personal income to hire trainers. In the computer lab, Rekha Kanwar Zorwar Singh, a Class X student, is struggling to copy a column in an Excel spreadsheet. "I like Word more," she grumbles. Rekha wants to become a doctor when she grows up, a big dream for a girl whose mother makes a meagre Rs.300 per month as a housemaid and is raising her single-handedly. Rekha's father died in 2007.
Besides education, the samiti has played an important role in the improvement of healthcare services. It has built an Ayurvedic hospital (handed over to the State government), a homeopathic hospital and runs a diagnostic centre with state-of-the art medical equipment for X-ray, sonography and laboratory tests at subsidised rates.
"We also organise medical camps," says Gokul Sarda, vice-president, KVS. Recently, the samiti conducted a cancer diagnosis camp where doctors, invited from the famous Mahavir Cancer Hospital in Jaipur, administered free tests worth Rs 60,000. "Last year, one of the donors, G.K. Sarda, nephew of the samiti founder Bal Krishna Sarda, donated an ambulance, a sale-counter machine for blood tests worth Rs.4 lakh, and set up air-conditioners in the ICU of the government hospital," says Murari Gaur, a local journalist.
The NGO is a testament of how a city can become self-reliant when people get together and decide to play an active role in their development. The model has been successful because the money has been invested in projects that were in need, a far cry from government policies that impose preset plans and projects. It is not surprising then that a shopkeeper seeking monetary help to remodel his shop or a government school looking to build a separate girls' toilet prefer to approach the samiti rather than the government.
The water-coolers at the police station, electricity board office and government schools have been installed by the samiti. Postal and train services in Kuchaman city have been its initiative. Today, major trains from important stations like Jaipur, Kolkata, Guwahati, Mumbai and Delhi stop here. The benches installed at the railway station and waiting-room built at the main bus stand are credited as the work of KVS. "Last year, as part of our clean city initiative, we distributed 1,300 dustbins in school, homes, hospitals and hotels," says Kabra. On October 16 every year, the NGO's founding day, it distributes 1,200-1,500 school uniforms. Besides, the samiti is outsourced the work of meeting minimum requirements of government schools like blackboards, books, table/chairs, etc. "The schools, both government and private, approach us with their demands and we try and help in whichever way we can," says Gokul Sarda.
"It's like running a company," says Kabra. The samiti has 21 executive members, 100 general/voluntary members and 200 salaried employees. It now has branches in other cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Jaipur, Kolkata, Bangalore and Hyderabad. "To maintain transparency, not a single transaction here is done in cash. Even a payment of Rs.100 is made by cheque," says Kabra. The organisation comes out with a publication every two months called "Kuchaman Vikas Patrika", which carries news and information on the samiti's work.
What is surprising is that the NGO has not built even a single temple. "That is because some of our donors and members are Muslim and Sikh. Besides, real education happens in schools, not mandirs," says Kabra.
Travelling to Kuchaman from the railway station can be a rough ride. After you leave the state highway and take a detour to enter the town, you hit a patch of broken, dusty road. I told myself that this was typical of every village, but I was mistaken. Now as I travel back to the station, I know there is a smooth road beyond this broken patch. Sitting in my taxi, I look out of the window and realise I missed a road sign when I first came here. It reads: "Work in Progress".

Our favorite Congresswomen is back in the news.
Over a year after she dropped out, Republican Rep. Michele Bachmann has refused to pay five staffers from her failed presidential bid, according to a former top campaign official. Peter Waldron, her controversial former national field coordinator, told Salon the dispute started when former Iowa straw poll staffers refused to sign a nondisclosure agreement that would bar them from discussing any "unethical, immoral, or criminal activity" they witnessed on the campaign with police or reporters.
Apparently, the dispute started over unsigned non-disclosure agreements after Michelle allegedly unethically acquired and used unauthorized lists of home schooling family lists for fundraising.
Reached my phone, Waldron confirmed the details and said the nondisclosure agreement stems from the campaign's alleged misuse of an email list. A home-schooling group accused the Bachmann campaign of stealing the list, which was contained on a volunteer's laptop, and then using it to fundraise for the campaign. The home-schooling group has sued the campaign and Waldron said there is also a criminal investigation pending, explaining that he spoke with police about the incident "several times."Please read the rest of the article for more good material.
What we have here appears to be a failure for parties to get together and come up with a solution. Instead, the parties dig in their heels and fail to come with an agreement.
Where have I heard this before?
Oh yeah, sounds like the Tea Party.......

DJ K.O. ft. Silent Knight - Ogre
Artist: DJ K.O.
Featuring: Silent Knight
Producer: DJ K.O.
Album: EMPBeTheTeam
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 5 votes )
Those who thought the days of hip-hop blood feuds were comfortably behind us got a rude awakening last Tuesday night, when 18-year-old Chicago rapper Lil JoJo was shot to death in an incident that may have been related to his rivalry with local artists Lil Reese, Lil Durk and Chief Keef. A disturbing reminder that the line between the aestheticized violence of hip-hop lyrics and the realities of America's inner-city streets is blurrier than many of us would like to think, the murder ignited a wave of self-examination among emcee and hip-hop lovers in the Windy City and beyond. The latest contribution to the conversation, DJ K.O.'s Ogre, is a gritty call to conscience, with the Northeastern mainstay looping a bluesy electric guitar sample as the guest emcee Silent Knight attacks the tendency of artists to hide behind the façade of "art for art's sake" rather than taking sides on crucial political issues. Are the collaborators' critiques of the game on-point? I'll leave it to y'all to decide. Either way, you can expect more food for thought on K.O.'s forthcoming EMPBeTheTeam LP, scheduled for release September 18.

But in this case we are talking about hours not minutes. Residual silver tests are only useful if you intend to overuse your fixing bath. So for sodium thiosulfate fixer use a two bath system and fix for 5 minutes in each bath.

100% raw?
100% raw?
There was a post earlier about 100% raw. Does this mean using no spices at all? How about spices that are freshly ground? I'm not ready for 100% raw, but, I'm curious… for if/when that day comes. :o)
100% does not eliminate spices at all. There are some raw foodies that go to the extreme and do eliminate spices because they feel spices are detrimental to the body. In my own opinion Mother Earth provided me with seeds as spices and I am confident to use them. I believe the key is not to over use spices. I have seen a lot of recipes out there that seem over burdened with spices. Too much spice is not nice :)
i have wondered about this too, more specifically about the drying process of the herbs, if they are actually not raw.
the longer i am close to 100% raw, if i have any dried spices, it tastes dead to me. there is nothing like fresh herbs, the dried stuff doesn't even come close.
also, vinegar, i used to love it, but now my tastes buds have changed and i can appreciate the flavor, but a little goes a long way.

Teleworking & Two-Way Wrist Radios
Thursday - 7/15/2010, 4:00am EDT
Teleworking in 2010 is what detective Dick Tracy's two-way wrist radio watch was in the 1950s: The wave of the future. The solution to most if not all of our problems.
Fans of the wrist radio timepiece, which enabled the fabled newspaper cartoon detective to talk to other crime fighters, predicted we would all be wearing one. Some day. And that once we did, it would make it virtually impossible for crooks to escape the law. They were correct. Up to a point...
From DickTracyMuseum.com
Now we've got cell phones with cameras that tell time. But the crime thingee is still problematic. We haven't stopped it, but we can watch it later on YouTube.
Much the same thing is said about teleworking, especially in the federal government. Backers say that if enough people do it, it could reduce traffic jams, fight pollution, eliminate tardiness and make for a more productive workforce. No one has yet claimed teleworking will help people lose weight or grow hair. But it sounds good.
So is there a downside to teleworking? And if so, would anybody dare voice them?
Along comes Dave.
Dave says he is a long-time fed, with lots of federal friends and with some experience with teleworking. He says that the teleworking cloud doesn't necessarily have a silver lining.
"When things get slow, Congress 'discovers' the merits of teleworking. Nobody will ever be late, sick or unhappy again if they can stay away from the office some or all of the time. Teleworking will enable the US Gov to operate if there is an earthquake, tsunami or multiple terrorist attacks. It is the ultimate win-win solution, so we are told.
"How about a reality check. I worked in an office that tried teleworking years ago. With a couple of exceptions it was a flop. The people who could not telework because of the nature of their work, were bitter. Those who could and did telework seemed to lose touch with the reality of the workplace, resented when they had to come in and quickly went from being grateful to a sense of entitlement. When they had to come to work, or or come in for conferences or meetings, they seemed bored, resentful or distracted. The office stopped doing it after several years. And things, for the most part, returned to 'normal' and got better.
"I've read in your column and elsewhere that the government is using teleworking as a 'lure' to recruit the best and brightest college grads who demand fast-track promotions, training and other 'work life' benefits, such as teleworking before they will deign to serve their country. My question is do we really want these people, and is teleworking worth it?"
Managers, who allegedly dwell in the stone age, are frequently blamed for delaying telework efforts. Bill Bransford, general counsel of the Senior Executives Association says that managers are often blamed by pro-teleworking politicians for opposing telework.
But he says many bosses are skeptical of telework "not from an outdated sense of workplace norms, but due to a sense of entitlement that seems to occur among some employees and the use of telework privileges in improper ways."
Bransford said that teleworking employees are often "inaccessible by telephone to customers" or fellow employees. And he said that "many supervisors have encountered employees who resisted coming in for a necessary meeting because it was called on their scheduled telework day."
Any thoughts?

Nearly Useless Factoid
by Suzanne Kubota
The throwdown has been issued: The Daily Mail newspaper reports a new British snack "rivals even the most fattening American treats". Those modern wizards of cuisine have invented the lasagne sandwich. It has 565 calories and 26.9 grams of fat. "This means that one Tesco lasagne-sandwich is the equivalent of two McDonald's cheeseburgers," notes the paper. KFC's new Double Down sandwich limps in with 540 calories, so now it's up to you America.
House approves Telework Bill
By a vote of 290-131, the House of Representatives today approved H.R. 1722, the Telework Improvements Act. The bill, which is designed to expand the use of teleworking in the federal government, mandates that federal workers eligible to telework be allowed to do so unless agency supervisors determine that the nature of an employee's job keeps them from telecommuting.
