The continuous downpour on Friday brought traffic to a grinding halt as usual, with critical points of the city including the eastern freeway and Lilavati junction reporting congestion and bottlenecks. Potholes and tree collapses added to the commuters' woes.
Never-ending rows of vehicles were spotted at several parts of the city during peak hour. While the traffic situation was the worst in the morning and evening, it had relatively eased during the afternoon.
Heavy traffic was reported at Lilavati junction, from Bandra to the sea link, along MG road leading to Ghatkopar (West) station, Juhu Tara road, the eastern freeway, Veera Desai road, Elphinstone bridge, between Dadar Circle and the Lalbaug flyover, along 60 Feet road in Dharavi, the Santacruz Chembur Link Road (SCLR) exit at CST Road, Aarey check naka at Goregaon (East), Powai to Sakinaka route via Chandivli, Mahalaxmi station area and LJ road towards Mahim among other areas.
"Heavy water-logging was reported in areas like Bhavans college, Gandhi market in Matunga, Dadar TT, Hindmata, SV Road, Andheri subway, pockets of Lower Parel, P D'mello Road, Milind Nagar, Powai Hiranandani and Juhu galli among others," said a traffic police official.
A tree collapse at Waterfield Road in Bandra (West) around noon led to traffic congestion and a car allegedly got stuck in a manhole at Kalachowkie in the morning. The fire brigade had to be called to pull it out.
Due to the newly repaired but pothole-ridden Dindoshi flyover in Malad (East), major traffic snarls were reported on the Western Express Highway, especially in the morning.
Flights delayed
Flights at international airport were delayed by around 20 minutes on account of low visibility and strong winds. An airport spokesperson said that while four flights were made to go-around, none were cancelled or diverted.

When the original Jeep Cherokee debuted back in 1984, its compact dimensions, unibody (as opposed to heavier body-on-frame) architecture and go-anywhere capability made it an immediate success. But the SUV scene changed dramatically over the course of its nearly 20-year production run. By the early 2000s, car-based "crossovers" like the Honda CR-V and Toyota RAV4 had usurped the antiquated Cherokee's throne. With the arrival of the modernized Jeep Liberty for the 2002 model year, the Cherokee was put out to pasture, its time seemingly having come and gone.
The Liberty never really caught on with consumers, however, whereas the trusty Cherokee's reputation continued to resonate. Accordingly, Jeep resurrected the iconic Cherokee nameplate for the Liberty's successor. Today's Cherokee is a true crossover that shares its platform with the front-wheel-drive Dodge Dart sedan, departing from the rear-wheel-drive tradition established by the original Cherokee and upheld by the Liberty. Its aerodynamic shape, feature-rich interior and carlike driving dynamics speak soothingly to today's pavement-biased shoppers. But rest assured, it's still a Jeep -- so if you do want to hit up some trails, three available four-wheel-drive systems plus numerous off-road-ready options ensure you won't get left in the dust.
Current Jeep Cherokee
The current Cherokee is offered in Sport, Latitude, Trailhawk and Limited trim levels. The Sport is pretty spartan, but it provides convenience features like power accessories, a tilt-and-telescoping steering wheel and a six-speaker touchscreen stereo with USB/Bluetooth connectivity. The better-equipped Latitude entices with its alloy wheels, foglights, LED interior lighting and options like dual sunroofs, nine-speaker audio and the excellent 8.4-inch Uconnect touchscreen interface. The Trailhawk focuses on heavy-duty hardware, including standard 4WD with the locking rear differential, flared fenders, wider wheels and tires, skid plates, tow hooks and an off-road suspension with a 1-inch lift. The fancy Limited lacks those rough-and-ready items but boasts bigger alloy wheels, dual-zone automatic climate control, leather upholstery and other luxury-oriented provisions. A panoramic sunroof replaces the dual sunroofs on the options list for both the Trailhawk and Limited.
In the engine room, the Cherokee is powered by either a 2.4-liter four-cylinder (184 horsepower) or a 3.2-liter V6 (271 hp). The transmission for both is a nine-speed automatic. Front-wheel-drive is standard, but Jeep offers three four-wheel-drive systems: an introductory setup with a single-speed power transfer unit (referred to by most automakers as "all-wheel drive"), a two-speed unit with low-range gearing, and an upgraded two-speed system with a locking rear differential that's exclusive to the Trailhawk.
In reviews, we've found the Cherokee's four-cylinder engine underwhelming in terms of both power and refinement, but the V6 is a nice upgrade considering its smooth, satisfying acceleration. We're pleasantly surprised that Jeep offers it, as V6s have largely disappeared from this segment in favor of more fuel-efficient fours. As noted, the Cherokee's V6 isn't much less efficient than the base four, so it's pretty much a win-win. We're not convinced that the transmission really needs all nine speeds, but it goes about its business unobtrusively for the most part.
From the driver seat, the Cherokee isn't as sporty as the Ford Escape or Mazda CX-5, but it handles well enough, and its cushy, quiet ride makes commuting a breeze. Off-roaders intrigued by the Cherokee's refinement will be pleased to learn that there's some real bushwhacking potential here, particularly in the "Trail Rated" Trailhawk, which also looks considerably meaner from the curb. What's not found in the Cherokee is an abundance of cargo space -- it brings up the rear among comparable crossovers -- but on the bright side, the sliding-and-reclining backseat is thoroughly adult-friendly.

Hamas official: Gaza militants agree to cease-fire
JERUSALEM Gaza militants agreed to a cease-fire with Israel to stop three days of violence, a Hamas official said Sunday, after a deadly attack on Israelis near the Egypt-Israel border set off a round of Israeli airstrikes and rocket barrages from Gaza.
The sudden flareup also threatened Israel-Egypt relations, after Egypt said five of its policemen were killed by Israeli fire as Israel's troops and aircraft pursued the militants responsible for killing eight people Thursday. Egypt complained strongly as thousands demonstrated in Cairo, and Israel apologized.
The senior Hamas official said Sunday afternoon that militant groups in Gaza agreed that the truce would go into effect Sunday evening. Hamas security personnel would enforce the agreement brokered by Egypt, the official said. He said Egypt told the groups that Israel would agree to halt its airstrikes only if the Palestinians stopped the rocket fire first.
A spokesman for Israel's government would not comment, and it was not clear if the cease-fire indeed had the backing of all of Gaza's armed factions.
Palestinian rocket fire and Israeli airstrikes continued hours after the cease-fire was to take effect at 9 p.m. local time.
Earlier Sunday, a salvo of rockets from Gaza struck an empty school and sent thousands of Israelis into bomb shelters. Israel responded with airstrikes and diplomats scrambled to limit the violence.
The diplomatic efforts were also aimed at limiting the damage from the deaths of the Egyptian policemen. On Sunday morning, an Israeli envoy arrived at Cairo's international airport and was whisked off in a convoy of four waiting cars, airport officials said. Israel's government would not comment on the envoy's identity or the details of his mission. A second unidentified envoy arrived later Sunday, the Egyptian officials said. France and Germany were also working with the Israelis and Egyptians to end the diplomatic spat, the officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity in order to discuss ongoing diplomatic efforts.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Jeffrey Feltman also arrived to help mediate, according to an official at the American Embassy in Cairo, speaking on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak to reporters.
Alongside the diplomacy, Israel threatened to intensify its attacks if the rocket barrages continue.
Speaking to Israel Radio, military spokesman Brig. Gen. Yoav Mordechai said Israel "will not hesitate" to widen its military operation if necessary. Diplomats scrambled to try to prevent the violence - the deadliest since Israel went to war against Gaza militants 2 1/2 years ago - from spiraling out of control.
Large-scale Israeli military operations in Gaza would create new friction with the Muslim world at a time when Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas is preparing to ask the United Nations to recognize an independent Palestinian state. Pictures of a major Israeli offensive in Gaza could hurt the Jewish state's efforts to minimize world support for the Palestinian statehood bid.
A spokesman said Abbas' Palestinian Authority planned to use the renewed violence to bolster its case for statehood at the United Nations next month.

Gyasi Zardes snaps goalless streak as Bruce Arena says the time is now for the LA Galaxy striker to go on a scoring run
FRISCO, Texas -- LA Galaxy striker Gyasi Zardes ended his eight game goalless streak, but you can forgive the 23-year-old for being less than pleased with the performance after the LA Galaxy's 2-1 defeat to FC Dallas.
Starting as the lone striker, Zardes snapped his scoreless drought in the 59th minute by nodding in a Stefan Ishizaki corner past Dallas' goalkeeper Dan Kennedy. The run itself was vintage Zardes as the 23-year-old wiggled free of a defender to create the space needed to nod the cross down to the far post.
After the match, Zardes was pleased with his second goal of the season, but admitted that the way the Galaxy conceded two goals in the final 15 minutes left him in a sour mood.
"Personally, it's good to get the goal but that's not my main priority," Zardes told reporters after the loss. "My main priority is the team and getting more than a point on this road trip. It's difficult losing a point like this."
With Robbie Keane (groin strain) and Jose Villarreal (hamstring strain) still dealing with injuries, the Galaxy could use more offensive production from Zardes. After the match, head coach Bruce Arena admitted that the time is now for Zardes to go on a scoring run much like he did in 2014 when he ended the season with 16 goals.
"Let's hope," Arena said. "Let's hope."
WATCH: Omar Gonzalez and Gyasi Zardes look to shine as LA Galaxy look for win over New York Red Bulls
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy head off to New York this weekend in search of their first road win since last August.
Getting a victory in New York will not be easy as the Red Bulls are currently the lone undefeated team in Major League Soccer. In my latest video for Time Warner Cable SportsNet, we breakdown the Galaxy's match against New York and the role that Omar Gonzalez and Gyasi Zardes will play.
Check it out above.
Bruce Arena provides LA Galaxy injury update; says he's undecided on Gyasi Zardes and Omar Gonzalez's role for Saturday
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy have dealt with the injury bug over the last several weeks, and now head coach Bruce Arena will have to evaluate the statuses of returning internationals Omar Gonzalez and Gyasi Zardes ahead of the weekend clash with Sporting Kansas City .
The Galaxy duo both went a full 90 minutes in the U.S. National Team's 2-0 victory over archrival Mexico in San Antonio on Wednesday. Both players returned to Southern California on Thursday but according to Arena, he'll have some thinking to do when he decides whether to slot the pair in the starting lineup for the match with Sporting.
"We have players that have been injured over the last two or three weeks, going to likely return. Jose Villarreal, Robbie Keane is a possibility, Mika Vayaynen is a possibility, AJ DeLaGarza is coming back from a slight injury, Edson Buddle's probably going to be available. A number of players. That makes for a good week," Arena told reporters on Thrusday. "However, we have to be cautious with players that played with the U.S. team last night. That will be their third game in a week. We gotta make a decision on whether they're going to be involved with our team on Saturday."
Like many, Arena did not take too much from the Americans latest 2-0 win over Mexico, remarking that the pitiful field conditions took away from the overall product.
"I don't think it's a game you could say a whole lot about," Arena said. "The playing conditions were so poor, Mexico put out a good team that certainly is not their team. I don't know what you make out of that. On the night the US was certainly the better team and deserved to win."
WATCH: LA Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes featured in FIFA Crossbar Challenge alongside U.S. National Teammate Miguel Ibarra
LA Galaxy forward Gyasi Zardes has made himself quite at home with the U.S. National Team in the past few months, and with international appearances come certain perks.
During the USMNT's recent tour of FIFA headquarters in Zurich, Zardes and international teammate Miguel Ibarra were featured in FIFA's Crossbar Challenge. The two U.S. National Team players had 10 chances to hit the crossbar, with the winner rattling the frame more than the other.
Check out who won in the video above.
LA Galaxy striker Gyasi Zardes earned a start and went 89 minutes as the U.S. National Team picked up a 1-1 draw with Switzerland in Zurich on Tuesday.
Starting up top alongside Jozy Altidore, Zardes was active from the start and had numerous opportunties in the first half to give the Americans the advantage. The Americans went into the half up a goal after Orlando City's Brek Shea scored a stunning free kick to put the U.S. ahead.
Zardes came closest to finding the back of the net just moments into the second half when he beat the goalkeeper but skied his header just wide of the frame. As the half wore on, the Swiss began to find their feet and were boosted when Jozy Altidore was sent off in the 68th minute after a late challenge and dissent to the referee.
Up a man, Switzerland found their goal in the 80th minute when a defensive breakdown on a corner kick allowed Valentin Stocker to poke a shot past William Yarbrough. With the goal, the U.S. has now conceded 12 times in the second half since the World Cup.
The Americans return to action later this month when they face Mexico in San Antonio on April 15.
CARSON, Calif. -- The LA Galaxy host the Houston Dynamo this Saturday in their third match of the 2015 MLS regular season.
In the latest edition of LAGalaxy.com's By the Numbers, we take a look at the club's recent struggles against the Dynamo.
Check it out below.
SAN JOSE, Calif. – The LA Galaxy were without several key pieces when they ended the preseason with a 3-2 defeat to the San Jose Earthquakes, but head coach Bruce Arena expects the full team in training next week.
Galaxy regulars Baggio Husidic, Jaime Penedo and Gyasi Zardes as well as trialist Edson Buddle missed out on the club's final preseason preseason match due to unspecified injuries, but according to Arena, they'll be on the training field on Monday when the club ramps up their preparations for Friday's MLS regular season opener against the Chicago Fire.
"All our guys will be back next week," said Arena.
The Galaxy boss was also optimistic about the status of defender A.J. DeLaGarza who has missed the entire preseason with a bone bruise in his left leg.
"He'll be in full training on Monday," Arena said afterward.
CARSON, Calif. -- Gyasi Zardes returned to the LA Galaxy before the team's trip to Europe loaded with confidence after his successful stint with the U.S. National Team.
During the USMNT's annual Winter camp, Zardes made his first two appearances for the national side including an influential start during their 2-0 victory over Panama last Sunday. Following two days off after a month-long training camp, Zardes rejoined the Galaxy where he admitted that he was feeling an extra pep in his step.
"This preseason has been wonderful for me. Just jumping in a new environment [with the USMNT]," said Zardes. "You always gain confidence the more you play, no matter what team you play on. Being with the camp helped me grow. My method is once you find rhythm try to keep it. Bring that to a new atmosphere. I'm just trying to get better and take advantage of every opportunity I get. Stay humble and level-headed. That's how I grow."
LA Galaxy striker Gyasi Zardes says time with U.S. National Team and Jurgen Klinsmann has improved his fitness
CARSON, Calif. -- Many have taken U.S. head coach Jurgen Klinsmann to task for his recent comments about the fitness of members of the U.S. National Team, but LA Galaxy striker Gyasi Zardes believes that he is a true success story of Klinsmann's conditioning program.
Superior fitness has long been the hallmark of American soccer players, but Klinsmann called that into question following the team's 3-2 defeat to Chile last week , leading to considerable condemnation from former players and the American soccer media. In a interview earlier this week, Klinsmann stated that the reason the U.S. has won just a single match in their last nine and suffered repeated late game collapses were because of the team's lack of emphasis on offseason fitness preparation.
Klinsmann's claims were met with major pushback from numerous places including by former national team defender Alexi Lalas but such condemnation of Klinsmann meant little to LA Galaxy striker Gyasi Zardes who is in camp with the national team and is expected to play a major role when they take on Panama on Sunday at StubHub Center.
In fact, Zardes believes that he's gotten even fitter just by training with the U.S. over the last month.
"Fitness is a key component of the game because you need to be good for 90 minutes. I'm glad that we do a lot of fitness with the national team and it's wonderful to experience different types of fitness because each coach has different methods. [Jurgen's] philosphy toward fitness is incredible," Zardes told LA Galaxy Insider. "I personally think that it is helping me improve as a player because I feel myself able to run longer. My stamina is up and my acceleration is growing even more. I think that I'm growing in this field."
LA Galaxy Homegrown Player Gyasi Zardes made his international debut on Wednesday going 22 minutes for the U.S. National Team in their 3-2 defeat to Chile in Rancagua.
Brek Shea put the U.S. up with an early goal only six minutes into the match, but the Chileans soon equalized as Roberto Gutiérrez scored just four minutes later. New Toronto FC striker Jozy Altidore gave the Americans the lead after 31 minutes to give hope to Jurgen Klinsmann's side heading into the second half.
The lead did not hold, however, as Mark González found the back of the net in the 66th minute after a flurry of chances for the home side were turned away by USMNT goalkeeper Nick Rimando. After the Chileans brought the score level, Klinsmann opted to insert Zardes to create some offensive punch, but La Roja's attack proved too strong as they edged ahead on another tally from Gonzalez in the 75th minute.
The U.S. National Team will play their second and final match of their annual January camp on Feb. 8 at StubHub Center.

There are many dialect areas; in England and S Scotland these are of long standing, and the variations are striking; the Scottish dialect especially has been cultivated literarily. There are newer dialect differences also, such as in the United States, including regional varieties such as Southern English, and cultural varieties, such as Black English. Standard forms of English differ also; thus, the standard British ("the king's English") is dissimilar to the several standard varieties of American and to Australian, Canadian, New Zealand, and Indian English.
Today's English is the continuation of the language of the 5th-century Germanic invaders of Britain. No records exist of preinvasion forms of the language. The language most closely related to English is the West Germanic language Frisian. The history of English is an aspect of the history of the English people and their development. Thus in the 9th cent. the standard English was the dialect of dominant Wessex (see Anglo-Saxon literature). The Norman Conquest (11th cent.) brought in foreign rulers, whose native language was Norman French; and English was eclipsed by French as the official language. When English became again (14th cent.) the language of the upper class, the capital was London, and the new standard (continued in Modern Standard English) was a London dialect.
It is convenient to divide English into periods—Old English (or Anglo-Saxon; to c.1150), Middle English (to c.1500; see Middle English literature), and Modern English; this division implies no discontinuity, for even the hegemony of French affected only a small percentage of the population. The English-speaking areas have expanded at all periods. Before the Normans the language was spoken in England and S Scotland, but not in Cornwall, Wales, or, at first, in Strathclyde. English has not completely ousted the Celtic languages from the British Isles, but it has spread vastly overseas.
Like other languages, English has changed greatly, albeit imperceptibly, so that an English speaker of 1300 would not have understood the English of 500 nor the English of today. Changes of every sort have taken place concomitantly in the sounds (phonetics), in their distribution (phonemics), and in the grammar (morphology and syntax). The following familiar words show changes of 1,000 years:The changes are more radical than they appear, for Modern English ō and ā are diphthongs. The words home, stones, and name exemplify the fate of unaccented vowels, which became ə, then ə disappeared. In Old English important inflectional contrasts depended upon the difference between unaccented vowels; so, as these vowels coalesced into ə and this disappeared, much of the case system disappeared too. In Modern English a different technique, word order (subject + predicate + object), is used to show what a case contrast once did, namely, which is the actor and which the goal of the action.
Although the pronunciation of English has changed greatly since the 15th cent., the spelling of English words has altered very little over the same period. As a result, English spelling is not a reliable guide to the pronunciation of the language.
The vocabulary of English has naturally expanded, but many common modern words are derived from the lexicon of the earliest English; e.g., bread, good, and shower. From words acquired with Latin Christianity come priest, bishop, and others; and from words adopted from Scandinavian settlers come root, egg, take, window, and many more. French words, such as castle, began to come into English shortly before the Norman Conquest. After the Conquest, Norman French became the language of the court and of official life, and it remained so until the end of the 14th cent.
During these 300 or more years English remained the language of the common people, but an increasingly large number of French words found their way into the language, so that when the 14th-century vernacular revival, dominated by Chaucer and Wyclif, restored English to its old place as the speech of all classes, the French element in the English vocabulary was very considerable. To this phase of French influence belong most legal terms (such as judge, jury, tort, and assault) and words denoting social ranks and institutions (such as duke, baron, peer, countess, and parliament), together with a great number of other words that cannot be classified readily—e.g., honor, courage, season, manner, study, feeble, and poor. Since nearly all of these French words are ultimately derived from Late Latin, they may be regarded as an indirect influence of the classical languages upon the English vocabulary.
The direct influence of the classical languages began with the Renaissance and has continued ever since; even today Latin and Greek roots are the chief source for English words in science and technology (e.g., conifer, cyclotron, intravenous, isotope, polymeric, and telephone). During the last 300 years the borrowing of words from foreign languages has continued unchecked, so that now most of the languages of the world are represented to some extent in the vocabulary. English vocabulary has also been greatly expanded by the blending of existing words (e.g., smog from smoke and fog) and by back-formations (e.g., burgle from burglar), whereby a segment of an existing word is treated as an affix and dropped, resulting in a new word, usually with a related meaning.

Billy Ray Cyrus to Release New Patriotic Album I'm American on Buena Vista Records June 28
NASHVILLE, Tenn., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Billy Ray Cyrus, multi-platinum artist, returns to his patriotic roots with the June 28 release of his new album I'm American on Buena Vista Records. Cyrus' collection of songs dedicated to the spirit of being American features special guest appearances by Amy Grant and country artists (also veterans) Jamey Johnson, Craig Morgan and Darryl Worley. Cyrus' single, "Runway Lights," will be shipped to Country radio later this month, and will be the theme song to his upcoming TLC "Surprise Homecoming" series that debuts on May 30, in which the artist will greet troops coming home from the war.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110510/LA97280)
Inspired by a 2009 USO tour in which Cyrus performed for the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan, Cyrus has dedicated the album to a new generation of troops, while paying respect to all veterans past and present. The album will feature eight songs – "Runway Lights," "We Fought Hard," "Keep The Light On," "Stripes and Stars," "I'm American," "Nineteen" and "Old Army Hat." The album will also include a newly re-recorded version of "Some Gave All," the song and title of his debut album released in 1992, which was dedicated to the men and women of the U.S. military, and earned Cyrus the Congressional Medal of Honor Society's Entertainers Award.
Cyrus has sold more than 25 million albums worldwide and has had three #1 hit singles. His 11 albums have generated 30 chart singles, including 15 Top 40 hits. The album Some Gave All has been certified 9x Platinum by the R.I.A.A., and set a record as the longest run by a debut artist in music history on the Billboard 200 for 17 consecutive weeks. Over the last decade he has starred in the PAX-TV series "Doc" and on the Disney Channel hit series "Hannah Montana."
His 2007 release Home At Last reached the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 and No. 3 on the Top Country Albums chart, while his singles "Busy Man" and "Ready, Set, Don't Go" – his duet with Miley Cyrus – both became smash country hits. In 2009, Cyrus released Back To Tennessee, in which the title track was featured in "Hannah Montana: The Movie" and was included on the film's soundtrack.
In addition to appearing in and co-producing "Hannah Montana: The Movie," Cyrus' film and television appearances include the Lifetime film "Flying By," Hallmark Channel's original movie "Christmas in Canaan," the Jackie Chan action-comedy "The Spy Next Door" and the critically acclaimed film "Mulholland Drive." He also starred in "Bait Shop" alongside Bill Engval. Cyrus has hosted country music's "Nashville Star" talent show and in 2007 was a semi-finalist on the ABC hit "Dancing With The Stars. "

You have made over 300 posts, we should not have to request this information from you.
And what do you think the error message means?
This is also for ASP so should be in the appropriate forum. I will move it on this occasion.
error lines are as following

I need to load external site script to my site.And after loading that i need to use that script in window.open
Which is not working at all for me.That's why i am trying to do some different ways.

Yes i tried this as well but external site script not allowing me to do that.

I have the same model. The rear lens, I found out much later, suffered from severe fungus. But it could be repaired (and recoated) and it now is my beloved take-anywhere camera. I even sold my 2.8F planar, since I decided I could get more for that model while the results of my 2.8C Xenotar where no less spectacular. The repair did add to the costs, but the camera still is the one to go for me (I have a Rolleiflex 6008i and Pentax 645N as well, and just sold my Plaubel Makina 67).
CLA is worth it. I am probably replacing the screen with a Mamiya 67 screen too (not the more expensive options of Maxwell etc, not because they are too expensive, but because they may be too bright in daylight).

Each ward will be visited by 50 squads, with a minimum of three members each, and each squad will cover 44 to 58 houses
Come November 4, 5,000 squads, comprising personnel from the city Corporation and the Department of Health, will fan out in the capital city to try and tackle a looming health hazard—dengue fever.
Beginning 8 a.m. on the day, an intensive drive will be held to identify and destroy the breeding grounds of mosquitoes. The 100 city Corporation wards have been divided into 25 zones for the day-long programme. Each ward will be visited by 50 squads, with a minimum of three members each, and each squad will cover 44 to 58 houses.
Junior Health Inspectors, Junior Public Health Nurses, the district's 3,000-strong ASHA workers, Kudumbasree members, Anganwadi workers, residents' association representatives and volunteers from various youth and social welfare groups will be the mainstay of the drive. Overseeing the work of the squads will be District Medical Officer T. Peethambaran, District Programme Manager of the National Rural Health Mission B. Unnikrishnan and Corporation Health Officer D. Sreekumar. "It will be held through the day and will continue as a weekly affair for the next three weeks," Dr. Sreekumar told The Hindu.
Corporation officials would conduct surveys, as a precursor to giving the pipe-compost project a new lease of life. "It is the CleanWell workers who will be responsible for the maintenance of these systems. For the time being, the best way to dispose of organic waste generated at houses is to deal with them at the source itself," said the Health Officer, adding that the mobile incinerator, once started functioning, would probably be used to deal with the waste that has accumulated in market areas and waysides.
Corporation health standing committee chairperson S. Pushpalatha said that a public awareness campaign was the prime agenda of this programme, a view reiterated by Mr. Peethambaran. In a press release issued here, the DMO solicited the cooperation of the public, and residents' associations in particular. He has also included a list of possible spots where the Aedes mosquito could breed, such as terraces, sun-shades, behind refrigerators and air conditioners and objects such as coconut shells.
Notices to hotels
The Corporation health officials inspected 28 hotels in the city last week and issued notices to 16. A press note here said a second stage of inspections was held in hotels which were issued notices earlier. Action was initiated against 22 persons for dumping garbage in public places and Rs.17,520 was levied as fine from them. Of the 86 shops inspected, four were found using plastic bags below 40 microns in thickness.

A valve control mechanism for operating a plurality of valves in a bank of valves which can be selectively operated by interchangeable lever arrangements one of which has a separate lever for each valve and another of which has a single lever for a pair of valves. The bank of valves and the lever arrangements are detachably removable independently of each other to permit easy servicing and selecting of the desired lever arrangement or to change the sequence of valve operation.
1. A method of constructing valve control mechanism having a plurality of operator levers and a plurality of control valves to enable the valve lever patterns to be quickly and simply changed relative to the control valves comprising the steps of:
providing a fixed support structure,
mounting a plurality of control members on a bracket for movement relative thereto to thereby form a first lever assembly,
mounting the operator levers on said control members in a specific pattern to operate the control valves,
rigidly attaching said bracket in a readily detachable manner to said support structure as a sole means of support for said first lever assembly and providing a second lever assembly having an associated bracket mounting an alternate pattern of levers to operate the control valves thus permitting an alternate pattern of levers to be used by detaching said bracket and first lever assembly to permit attachment of said second lever assembly with its associated bracket and alternate pattern of levers in a manner as provided for said first manifold, and
detachably disposing connecting means between each of said control members and the control valves.
2. A method of providing a changeable pattern valve control mechanism having a plurality of control valves, one plurality of operator levers having at least one lever operable on two control valves and another plurality of operator levers where at least one of the above two control valves is operated by a lever other than the one for said one plurality of operator levers to enable quick and simple change of lever patterns relative to the control valves comprising the steps of:
mounting either said one or another plurality of operator levers on a plurality of control members adapted to their particular pattern on a bracket for movement relative thereto to thereby form a lever assembly,
providing a fixed support structure adapted to fixedly support said lever assembly by readily receiving said bracket in a detachable manner as a sole means of support for said lever assemblies to permit alternate patterns of levers to be used by detaching said one bracket and associated lever assembly and attachment of another bracket and associated plurality of levers forming an alternate lever assembly resulting in alternate lever patterns for the valve control mechanism, and
detachably disposing connecting means between each of said control members and the control valves.
This is a Division of application Ser. No. 640,809, filed Dec. 15, 1975 and now U.S. Pat. No. 4,051,860.
This invention relates to valve control arrangements for operating a plurality of valves and particularly to a valve console by which control levers of different types may be substituted for each other.
Many load and earth handling machines such as a backhoe mounted on a tractor use numerous hydraulic motors to separately control various elements such as a boom which is elevated and swings about a vertical axis, a dipper stick which is adjusted in angle relative to the boom and a digging bucket which is pivoted relative to the dipper stick. In addition, hydraulic motors are used to position stabilizers which are moved relative to the backhoe and into engagement with the ground to steady the backhoe. For these functions alone it is usual to use at least six separate valves which may be separately controlled by separate control levers or in which two related movements and therefore the two related valves may be controlled by a single lever control mechanism.
The possible relative arrangements and patterns of control levers for six separate valves varies between the manufacturers of such equipment and even the same manufacturer may have different lever control patterns for similar equipment. With such equipment it often becomes desirable and necessary to modify or rearrange the control patterns to suit a particular arrangement or pattern to which the operator has become accustomed or to interchange single lever, dual valve controls and individual lever, single valve controls. Heretofore, a change of either lever control patterns or types of control levers has required substantial modification of the control console in which such levers are mounted by modifying linkage between the control levers and the valves or by rearranging the valves together with their integrally associated control levers. Such modifications become time consuming and expensive to achieve.
It is an object of the invention to provide a control console for a multiplicity of valves in which various lever controls may be readily interchanged with a minimum of time and effort.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a control console for a multiplicity of valves in which the control patterns of the various lever controls may be readily varied without requiring repositioning of the valves or modifying the control linkage between the valves and levers.
The valve control console or mechanism of the invention includes a bank of individually controllable valves which may be controlled by a selected lever assembly having either a separate lever for each valve or a single lever for a pair of valves, the lever assemblies being readily attachable to and detachable from a support structure in association with the valves to be operated. The lever assemblies are connectable to valves by elements easily detachable between the valves and a selected one of the lever assemblies. One of the lever assemblies has control levers for each of the valves arranged for movement about a common axis and the other of the lever assemblies has a single control lever to individually or simultaneously operate a pair of valves by movement of the single control lever about intersecting axes.
FIG. 1 is a side elevation of a portion of a backhoe incorporating the valve control mechanism embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a sectional view at an enlarged scale taken in the direction of line 2--2 in FIG. 1;

FIG. 11 is a sectional view at an enlarged scale taken on line 11--11 in FIG. 6; and
FIG. 12 is a sectional view taken on line 12--12 in FIG. 1.
The control console embodying the invention is designated at 10 and as shown supported on a main frame member 12 in a position at an operators station of a backhoe 14 only a portion of which is shown but which includes a boom 16 which is vertically adjustable by means of a hydraulic actuator 18. The boom 16 is supported for swinging movement on a vertical post 20 by means of a rotary hydraulic actuator 22. Other hydraulic actuators are used to control the dip stick, bucket and a pair of stabilizers which are conventional and well known in the art and are not shown. Each of such actuators is connected by a pair of hydraulic lines 24 and 26 which serve to control delivery and return of fluid between the associated hydraulic actuator and control valve.
The console 10 incorporates a valve manifold 28 which includes a plurality of valves arranged in a bank in side by side relationship and which receive hydraulic fluid from a conventional source of hydraulic pressure through a common delivery port 30 and return the fluid to the source through a return port 32 as seen in FIG. 12.
The manifold or bank of valves 28 is mounted on a support frame which includes a pair of side frame members 34 and 36 fastened by bolts to a base member 37 forming part of the main frame 12. The manifold is attached to the side frame member 34 and 36 by bolts 38.
As seen in FIG. 2 the manifold 28 includes a bank of valves which may be generally identical and which are indicated in their entirety by the reference characters 41 through 47. The valves are each provided with a vertically movable plungers 51 through 57, respectively, which are aligned in a common plane and are moved vertically in opposite directions from a neutral position to control the respective valves. By way of example the valve 41 can be used to control swinging of the boom, valve 42 to control the positioning of the left stabilizer, valve 44 to control the right stabilizer, valve 46 to control the angular position of the dipper stick and valve 46 to control the tipping of the bucket. Valve 47 can be employed to operate some other hydraulically controlled accessory such as a telescoping boom or dipper.
Operation of the valves 41 through 47 is controlled by movement of the respective control plunger 51 through 57. As best seen in FIG. 2 the control plungers are moved by a lever assembly 60 including separate control levers 61 through 67 operatively connected to each of the control plungers 51 through 57. As seen in FIGS. 2 and 3 the levers 61 through 67 are mounted on a bracket 68 which is mounted in a generally horizontal position between the frame members 34 and 36 by means of bolts 69. The entire structure including the manifold 28 and frame members 34 and 36 are covered by a sheet metal housing indicated at 70 so that the control levers 61 through 67 project from an upper part of the console 10.
The bracket 68 supports a horizontal shaft 71 on which the levers 61 through 66 are mounted. The lever 67 is mounted on a separate shaft 72 supported by a U-shaped bracket 74 held in position relative to the bracket 68 by the bolts 69 so that the shaft 72 is axially aligned with the shaft 71.
Referring now to FIG. 4 the lower end of the lever 67 is provided with a collar 76 which is rotatably mounted on the shaft 72 between the legs of the U bracket 74. An arm 78 projects from the collar 76 and the outer end of the arm is pivotally connected to a pair of links 79 by a pivot pin 80 held in place by a cotter pin 81. The lower ends of the links 79 are pivotally connected by another pin 84 removably held in position by a cotter pin to the upper end of the control plunger 57.
The valve levers 61 through 66 are generally similar to the valve lever 67 in that each includes a collar 76 rotatably mounted on the shaft 70 and each includes an arm 78 connected to the respective control plungers 51 through 56 by means of links 79 and pins 80 and 84.
The lever arms 78 on the levers 61 through 67 are equally spaced apart as seen in FIG. 3 to conform to the equal spacing of the control plungers 51 through 57. Also, when the valves 41 through 47 are in their neutral position, the pins 80 in the free end of the lever arms 78 are axially aligned with each other.
In the arrangement just described each of the valves is provided with its own control lever for individual operation of each of the valves.
Referring now to FIG. 12 each of the valves is provided with a pair of ports 86 and 88 which are connected by a pair of lines 24 and 26 to a particular hydraulic actuator to be operated. If it is desired to change the operating pattern of the control levers 61 through 67 it simply is necessary to remove the pair of lines 24 and 26 for one of the hydraulic actuators from a valve and substitute another pair of lines from a different actuator. In the alternative, the detachable pins 84 may be removed from each of the control plunges 51 through 57 and the valves 41 through 47 in the manifold 28 may be rearranged to obtain the desired control pattern or sequence for the levers.
If, for example, the valve 41 is employed to swing the boom 16 and the valve 42 is used to elevate the boom, the function of the valves 41 and 42 can be reversed by removing the pair of lines 24 and 26 from the valve 41 and connecting them to the valve 42 and to connect the removed lines to the valve 41. Alternatively, the position of the valves 41 and 42 may be reversed in the manifold 28.
If it is desired to change the individual separate lever controls 61 through 67 for other types of levers it is simply necessary to remove the pins 80 from the ends of the arms 78 after which removal of the bolts 69 makes it possible to remove the levers 61 through 66 with the bracket 68 and the control lever 67 with the U-shaped bracket 74 in readiness for attachment of a different control lever arrangement.
Referring now to FIGS. 6 and 7 showing another form of lever assembly 89, the control console 10 is provided with a single lever control 90 to manipulate both of the valve plungers 51 and 52, a single lever control 92 to manipulate both of the valve plungers 55 and 56 and a pair of individual lever controls 94 and 96 to move the pair of valve plungers 53 and 54, respectively. The four lever controls 90, 92, 94 and 96 are mounted on a bracket member 100 which is fastened to the frame members 34 and 36 by means of the bolts 69.
The single lever controls 90 and 92 are generally similar and reference will be made to the single lever control 90 as seen in FIGS. 8 and 9. The support bracket 100 has a fowardly extending bracket element 102 and aligned openings 105 are formed in the bracket portions 100 and 102 to support a shaft 104 for pivotal movement about an axis transversed to the base or bracket 100. Mounted on the shaft 104 is an arm assembly 108 which has a collar portion 109 and an extension 110 projecting to one side of the axis of the shaft 104 as seen in FIGS. 7 and 9.
Pivotally mounted on the arm assembly 108 is an actuating arm member 111. The actuating arm member 111 has a bifurcated portion 112 which receives the collar portion 109 of the arm assembly 108 and is pivoted thereto by a pin 113 passing through collar 109 and transversely through the shaft 104. The actuating arm assembly 111 includes a control arm portion 114 the free end of which terminates in a forked portion 116 supporting a pin 118. In the position shown in the drawings, the pin 118 is axially aligned with the axis of shaft 104. The pin 118 pivotally supports a mounting block 120 which pivotally holds a pair of links 121 on a pin 122 passing through the block 120 below and transversely to the pin 118. The lower ends of the links 121 pivotally receive the removable pin 84 at the upper end of the valve plunger.
The arm extension 110 is provided with a forked end 123 which as seen in FIG. 7, supports a block 124 for pivotal movement on a pin 126. The block 124 is similar to the block 120 seen in FIG. 10 and similarly supports a pivot pin 122 for another pair of links 121. In this instance the links 121 associated with arm 110 have been rotated approximately 90 degrees about the axis of the associated control plunger from the position of the links 121 associated with the control arm 111 so that the pins 84 connected to control plungers 51 and 52 are on axes transverse to each other.
The arm assembly 111 threadably receives the lower end of a control lever 128. Movement of the lever 128 about the axis of the pin 113 causes vertical movement of the control plunger 51 and transverse movement of the control lever 128 about the axis of pin 104 causes vertical movement of the valve control plunger 52. It will be noted that the control plungers 51 and 52 may be operated separately and individually or that they may be operated simultaneously by angular movement of the control lever 128 relative to its intersecting pivot axes defined by the pin 113 and the shaft 104.
The single lever control 92 at the right side of the mounting bracket 100 seen in FIGS. 6 and 7 includes a control lever 129 and is identical to the single lever control 90. The single lever control 92 is connected to operate the valve plungers 55 and 56. The valve plunger 57 is not provided with a control lever but it will be understood that the control lever 67 seen in FIG. 2 could be employed.
The valve control plungers 53 and 54 are controlled by the pair of control lever assemblies 94 and 96 which are similar to the control lever 67 seen in FIG. 4. The control lever assemblies 94 and 96 are mounted to rotate on a common shaft 130 which as seen in FIG. 11, is supported by a U-shaped bracket 136 connected by means of bolts 138 to a central portion of the base bracket 100. The control 96 includes a collar 140 rotatable on shaft 130 and supporting a lever 142. An actuating arm 144 is connected to the collar 140 to support a pair of links 146 by a pin 148. The lower end of the links receive a pin 84 removably connected to the valve plunger 54. The control 94 is identical to control 96 except that its lever is identified by 150 and the links 146 are connected to plunger 53.
With the control lever arrangement of the console 10 seen in FIGS. 6 through 11, manipulation of the control lever 128 at the left side of console may be used to operate the valves 51 and 52 for control of various operations such as swinging and changing the elevation of a boom on a backhoe. Similarly, the control lever 129 at the right side of the console 10 may be used to manipulate the valve plungers 55 and 56 to control other functions such as the angle of the dip stick relative to the boom and the angle of the bucket relative to the dip stick, respectively. The levers 150 and 142 function in a manner similar to the levers 63 and 64 to control single functions such as positioning of the left and right stabilizers of a backhoe.
The substitution of a different lever assembly for the arrangement 89 shown in FIGS. 6 through 11 simply requires removing all of the pins 84 from the links 79, 121 and 146 and removal of the bolts 69. Thereafter, the entire control lever assembly may be removed and replaced with a different lever assembly such as the arrangement 60 shown in FIGS. 1 through 5.
It will be seen that a control console has been provided in which different lever arrangements such as individual lever controls for each of the valves or dual function control levers may be readily substituted for each other by simply disconnecting the pins connecting the control levers to the respective valves. In addition, the control pattern achieved by manipulating the various valves may be varied by interchanging the pair of lines 24 and 26 of one valve with the lines 24 and 26 of another of the valves. Such a change in operating pattern or in the type of lever controls which are used is accomplished without the necessity of replacing and substituting linkage or without the necessity of changing the positions of the valves involved.

The Thames Hotel was opened on 1 November 1868, to cater for the diggers leaving for the Thames goldfields across the road from the Queen St Wharf (as well as for those returning). It was demolished in 1925. The second proprietor was Richard Gratten, born in Auckland in 1849 (making him NZs only NZ born token issuer). He took over the Thames Hotal in 1872, and died on 24 October 1875, aged 26. Reference: Humberstone, Vaughn. Merchants Making Money. Unpublished, 2010.

Official release from Football Australia
Football Federation Australia (FFA) and NAB, together with the Central Coast Mariners, are proud to announce the first nominee for the NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award 2013/14.
Trent Sainsbury from the Central Coast Mariners was voted as the most outstanding U-21 player for the month of October following standout performances in the opening three matches of the Hyundai A-League 2013/14 Season.
ŌĆ£Obviously itŌĆÖs great to be recognised for my performances, and to carry over my form from last season into this one,ŌĆØ Sainsbury said. ŌĆ£Being acknowledged by media and other football experts as one of the top young players in the Hyundai A-League is something I am extremely proud ofŌĆØ, Sainsbury said.
Sainsbury also believes other Central Coast Mariners young guns will be joining him in being nominated for the NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award as the Hyundai A-League 2013/14 season continues.
ŌĆ£Storm Roux is going to be one of our biggest assets this year and I am very surprised he hasnŌĆÖt been nominated himself,ŌĆØ Sainsbury said.
ŌĆ£The coaching style and philosophy that ŌĆśArnieŌĆÖ (Central Coast Mariners Head Coach Graham Arnold) has means that he gives a lot of young boys a go, and after that itŌĆÖs all up to them. ThatŌĆÖs why I think we at the Mariners have been successful over the years in the NAB Young Footballer of the Year category.ŌĆØ
Trent Sainsbury is the first nominee for the annual award and will be joined by five other nominees to be in the running for the grand prize. Interestingly, Sainsbury was also the final nominee for the NAB Young Footballer of the Year Award 2012/13 from the Hyundai A-League 2012/13 season.

U.S. Had Better Cogitate about Nuclear Stand-off with DPRK: KCNA Commentary
| Pyongyang, August 7 (KCNA) -- Locklear, commander-in-chief of the U.S. forces in the Pacific, at a recent emergency press conference said the U.S. is ready to cope with the worst situation including a nuclear threat from the north, while describing its nuclear and missile capabilities as a serious challenge to the international community.
This is sophism to justify Washington's hostile policy toward the DPRK, and self-confidence of those who are utterly unaware of who their rival is.
The actual provocation and threat to the Korean peninsula at present are a product of the U.S. hostile policy toward the DPRK and the former's belligerent nuclear strategy.
Recently the U.S. officially announced it would apply "tailored deterrence strategy", a scenario for a preemptive attack on the north, into Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military exercises it plans to stage from mid-August after conducting joint naval maneuvers with the puppet army with a flotilla of nuclear carrier George Washington involved.
The daily increasing nuclear threat and challenge of the U.S. compels the DPRK to bolster the nuclear force qualitatively and quantitatively to protect the dignity and security of the country and the nation and guarantee peace on the peninsula.
The Voice of Russia recently commented that the policy of ignoring the DPRK's stand is, in the final analysis, little short of helping it become a nuclear power.
The DPRK's access to a powerful nuclear force was a just option for defending its sovereignty and peace.
The U.S. persistent nuclear threats compel the DPRK to steadily bolster its nuclear deterrence.
Given that the U.S. and the puppet forces of south Korea continue staging nuclear war exercises against the DPRK, in particular, the DPRK will take countermeasures for self-defence which will include missile launch, nuclear test and all other programs.
Units of the ground, naval, air and anti-air forces of the Korean People's Army including the strategic forces are staging without let-up exercises for bolstering the nation's capability for self-defence under simulated conditions including the firing of super-precision tactical rockets and artillery firing drills with various missions. These are part of those countermeasures.
The army of the DPRK is reliably protecting the dignity and security of the country and the nation, tightly holding such treasured sword of justice as strategic rockets tipped with nuclear warheads powerful enough to strike the U.S. mainland. This reflects the firm will of the army and people of the DPRK.
The U.S. had better to think twice over the nuclear stand-off with the DPRK.

outboard on a Soling..?

Rep Power:
Thank you for the ideas, I hadn't thought about mounting an outboard anywhere other than off the transom.
Will a 4hp be powerful enough to power the boat against a strong wind (worst case scenario)?
I had in mind some way of attaching an engine so that the engine could be stowed under the front of the cockpit leaving only a bracket on the transom.
only being brought out when needed (higher winds than I am confident to sail in or if I become becalmed)
Thats kind of what I had in mind but i'm by no way fixed to this method.
to move HyLyte's suggestion on, I could rig up some kind of set up to have two tiny (lightweight) long shaft outboards set up on either side of the boat at the back of the cockpit.
That way the boat would remain balanced and I could steer using the ordinary rudder. any thought on this?
Pls forgive me if I am sounding a little inexperienced, but that it precisely what I am
This is my first boat, I've been sailing for a number of year but i'm in uncharted territory here!

European Union
As the Internet of Things starts to take hold, we're seeing the emergence of gadgets equipped with all kinds of sensors to improve the world around us, from energy-saving climate control systems to smart locks for the front door. But have you ever thought about how sound might be measured and used to bring another level of automation? For the last two years, the Ear-IT project has been monitoring acoustics in the Spanish city of Santander, and says the results could improve the lives of its residents in ways ranging from improved traffic flow to energy savings in the home.

Industrial robots have proven useful in reducing production costs in large factories, with major enterprises enlisting their services to execute repetitive tasks. The Factory-in-a-Day project, which kicked off in October, aims to also make robotic technology beneficial to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), by developing adaptable robots that can be integrated with workplace systems within 24 hours.

As evidenced by ongoing efforts in the Philippines in the wake of Typhoon Haiyan, getting aid and support personnel in and victims out of disaster-stricken areas is a major problem when infrastructure such as runways has been rendered unusable. A new aircraft concept combining features of an airship, plane, helicopter and hovercraft that is being developed as part of the European Commission's Extremely Short Take Off and Landing On any Surface (ESTOLAS) project could help address the problem.

NanoMal's hand-held blood analyzer targets drug treatments for malaria
By Brian Dodson
December 27, 2012
A small company in the U.K. is developing an affordable, hand-held device that will not only diagnose malaria in the field, but will also read DNA markers that suggest which antimalarial drugs will be most effective for treatment. If fielded, such a device could help alleviate the 200+ million cases of malaria per year, as well as prevent some of the nearly one million deaths associated with malarial illness. Read More
Research funded by the European Union has resulted in a new low-cost, fingernail-sized radar chip package that could be implemented in a variety of areas, including the automotive industry, robotics and smartphones. Described as "the smallest complete radar system in the world," the chip package measures 8 x 8 mm, operates at 120 GHz, and can calculate the distance of an object up to around 3 meters away to an accuracy of within 1 mm.

A new law came into effect in the U.K. this past weekend which requires U.K.-based websites to receive consent from visitors before using cookies to store tracking information about them. Though the law originally called for visitors to explicitly opt-in with the use of a checkbox or similar method, the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), an independent privacy watchdog, backpedaled just 48 hours before the law was to come into force and watered down the legislation to allow "implied consent" - in other words, websites can assume users have already consented to the use of cookies.

A European Union project known as myCopter has set aside funds of €4.2 million (US$6.2m) to investigate the possibility of introducing Personal Aerial Vehicles (PAVs) into the skyways of many congested European cities. This coming age of the "flying car" where vehicles leave the roads and launch into the skies promises to solve problems like dramatically rising urban traffic congestion, but it also throws up some formidable challenges - it's these challenges that the myCopter project aims to address.

The European Commission has released a white paper detailing ambitious plans to transform Europe's transport infrastructure by 2050. The roadmap for a Single European Transport Area includes forty initiatives for road, rail and air travel that aim to increase mobility, reduce reliance on oil imports, cut emissions by 60% and combat congestion by halving the use of "conventionally fueled" cars in urban transport by 2030 with a view to phasing them out in cities by 2050.

It has been estimated that in the European Union, about ten percent of the electricity used in homes and offices goes to power computers and other electronic devices that are in standby mode. By 2020, that amount could constitute 49 terawatt hours per year, which is almost equivalent to the combined annual electrical consumption of Austria, the Czech Republic and Portugal. The European Union's just-announced Steeper research initiative squarely addresses such concerns. Its aim is to develop electronics that operate on less than half a volt when in standby, and that are up to ten times more energy-efficient when active. Read More

South Africa: Mandela in hospital for tests
Mandela was hospitalized for nearly three weeks in December before going home on Dec. 26. At that time, he was treated for a lung infection and had a surgical procedure to remove gallstones.
The former president has become increasingly frail over the years. In January 2011, Mandela was admitted to a Johannesburg hospital for what officials initially described as tests but what turned out to be an acute respiratory infection. He was discharged days later. He also had surgery for an enlarged prostate gland in 1985.
Under South Africa's white-minority apartheid regime, Mandela spent 27 years in prison, where he contracted tuberculosis, before being released in 1990. He later became the nation's first democratically elected president in 1994 under the banner of the African National Congress. He served one five-year term before retiring.
The Nobel laureate last made a public appearance on a major stage when South Africa hosted the 2010 World Cup soccer tournament.

Brookfield's Sharon Lynne Wilson Center for the Arts has been the home of The Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions- Wisconsin District for the past four years. The auditions have been generously sponsored for 10 years at the Wilson Center by Kate Wilson, Mary Lou Gillstrom, and Carrie Gillstrom Matteson. This amazing all day event happens every year due to the commitment of the all volunteer staff lead by Director Kathy Pyeatt of Cedarburg and Assistant Director Tanya Kruse of Waukesha. Pat and Phil Crump of Brookfield have been instrumental in the district's success having been involved with the auditions for 39 years (Mrs. Crump serving as the sole Director during most of those years).
The mission of the National Council is to: discover exceptional young talent, provide a venue for young opera singers from all over the country and to search for new talent for the Metropolitan Opera Lindemann Young Artist Development Program. Past winners of these National Council Auditions have gone on to have very successful operatic careers such as Renee Fleming, Debra Voigt and Ben Heppner.
This year's judges (lead by opera legend Carol Vaness) have chosen 5 singers to advance to the Upper Midwest Region Auditions in St. Paul, Minnesota: Joseph Beutel, Alisa Suzanne Jordheim, Anthony Reed, Darik Knutsen (not in picture) and Kathryn Leemhuis. Each singer was awarded $1750. The winner of the Upper Midwest Region will advance to the National Semi Finals on the stage of the Metropolitan Opera in New York. In addition to the winners the judges handed out $450 encouragement awards to 12 singers: Tim Rebers, Kelley Hollis, Saira Frank, Kevin Newell, Lindsay Sessing, Caitlin Shirley, Michael Roemer, Aiden Smerud, Chelsey Spaeth, Meghan Seubert, Ashley Mispagel and John Arnold. The audience also had a chance to vote for their favorite, Rhea Olivacee and Curtis Bannister tied, splitting the $250 award.
All of the monies awarded come from generous donors in the greater Milwaukee community. Leading the way is the Henry H. Uihlein, Sr. & Marion (Polly) S. Uihlein Foundation, Milton R. Sheffield Trust and the Florentine Opera Club along with several individual donors.

Earthquakes blank Dynamo
Associated Press | May 26, 2014 | Updated: May 26, 2014 12:20am
SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Khari Stephenson broke a nearly yearlong scoring drought with two goals to help the San Jose Earthquakes beat the Dynamo 3-0 on Sunday night.
Stephenson converted off a rare indirect free kick from deep inside the Dynamo penalty area in the first half, then made a penalty kick in the second half. Atiba Harris knocked in the rebound of his header off the post for the third goal.
Dynamo keeper Tally Hall made a pair of uncharacteristic mistakes to help San Jose. In the 36th minute, Hall picked up a pass from teammate David Horst, giving the Earthquakes an indirect free kick just outside the Dynamo 6-yard box. Shea Salinas touched the ball to Stephenson, who scored.
Harris finished the scoring in the 70th minute, taking advantage after Hall was caught outside of his box trying to clear a pass.

Make typhoon donations count
The American Red Cross
Rating: Three out of four stars on Charity Navigator
Typhoon actions: Earlier this week, the American Red Cross announced an initial contribution of $6 million to distribute relief items, repair and rebuild shelters, provide health care and ensure access to clean water and sanitation systems. The organization is working through the Philippine Red Cross, which is the largest humanitarian organization in that country.
Donation details: Online at redcross.org or redcross.org.ph for the Philippine Red Cross; 1-800-733-2767 or text TYPHOON to 90999; The American Red Cross, San Diego and Imperial Valley Chapter, 3950 Calle Fortunada, San Diego, CA 92123. Donations can be designated for Philippine typhoon and flood relief, but the Red Cross will use any surplus to "prepare for and serve victims of other disasters."
Catholic Relief Services
Ratings: Three out of four stars on Charity Navigator and a spot on GuideStar's expert-recommended nonprofits for typhoon relief.
Typhoon actions: This 70-year-old Baltimore-based charity is working to provide 100,000 families with shelter, essential supplies, clean water and sanitation.
Donation details: : crs.org; 1-877-435-7277 : Catholic Relief Services, PO Box 17090, Baltimore, MD 21297-0303. You may designate your donation for typhoon relief, but CRS may use contributions for general purposes if specific purposes "become unnecessary, undesirable (or) impractical to fill."
World Food Program USA
Rating: Four out of four stars on Charity Navigator
Typhoon actions: This support group for the U.N. World Food Programme is distributing food in the Philippines as well as coordinating emergency telecommunications and rebuilding the infrastructure with mobile storage units, generators and other essentials.
Donation details: Online only at wfpusa.org. According to the website, 100 percent of funds received in response to an active emergency will be deployed toward that specific emergency.
Gawad Kalinga USA
Ratings: The Philippine charity is not registered with the IRS, so it is not in the GuideStar or Charity Navigator databases. The group is on the GuideStar list of expert-recommended typhoon-aid nonprofits.
Typhoon actions: Gawad Kalinga USA's goal is to purchase 200,000 food packets that include water, canned goods and rice for a family of four.
Donation details:gk-usa.org; Gawad Kalinga USA, `13860 Stowe Drive, Poway, CA 92064. One-hundred percent of donations designated for typhoon relief will go to that project.
