MSU is bracing for the second round of a fight against freezing temperatures, and there hasn't been time for the university to determine how it got hit as hard as it did in round one.
On Jan. 7, after two consecutive days of temperatures staying below 32 degrees and often dipping into single digits, sprinkler system water pipes ruptured in Ruby Hall, impacting about 120 students and driving many into alternate housing for the spring semester. Similar but lesser damage hit Oak and Magnolia halls. MSU Chief Communications Officer Sid Salter said it's the first time these residence halls, still less than a decade old, have faced temperatures this low, and the reasons they succumbed to freezing are still unknown.Â

There are two advertisements for lager running on British TV at the moment. The first, for American brand Budweiser, suggests that the key to good lager is fast shipment from brewery to bottle to drinker. It says fresh lager tastes better. The second, for Dutch beer Grolsch, makes exactly the opposite claim. It stresses the importance of a long conditioning period to improve flavour before the beer is bottled. Which will produce a better beer and why?
• As a keen home brewer I feel qualified to answer the question on the ageing of lagers.
All true lagers are aged before consumption. Lager in fact comes from the German word meaning to store. After fermentation, the beer undergoes a storage - or lagering - process at low temperature to allow the beer to mature and take on the distinctive clean taste for which lagers are famous. Lagering takes from one ...

Rayz snap losing streak
CC rallies to best Youngstown
The Rayz didn't win many style points on Sunday afternoon.
However, the two points they skated off with provided plenty of aesthetic value.
Corpus Christi snapped a five-game winless streak, rallying for a 3-2 shootout victory over the Youngstown SteelHounds at the American Bank Center.
The win was the first for the Rayz (2-5-1, 5 points) since beating Rio Grande Valley in their Oct. 20 home opener. While it remains to be seen if it's a temporary respite or potential turning point, Corpus Christi finally saw a close contest go its way after dropping three one-goal decisions in the previous four games. The loss also marked the first defeat of the Central Hockey League season for Youngstown (7-0-1, 15 points).
"We'll take it," Rayz coach Ken McRae said. "We needed that win desperately. Like I told those guys, you've got to use that as (progress). We did the same thing against Youngstown (on Oct. 27) and fell short in a shootout.
"It doesn't feel the same after a shootout loss. (In this game), we came back and that's got to be a boost. We've got to take baby steps. That's hopefully the first sign right there that we're heading in the right direction."
With less than three minutes remaining in regulation, the Rayz faced a 2-1 deficit and save for rookie defenseman Evan Stoflet's goal in the final minute of the second period, had been rebuffed time and again by SteelHounds goalie Andy Franck.
But the SteelHounds turned the puck over in neutral ice, leading to a two-on-one rush for the Rayz' Adam Hogg and Adam Powell. From the top of the right circle, Hogg ripped a slap shot past Franck -- with the puck staying lodged in the netting -- for his first professional goal with just 2:37 to go in the third.
"It was good timing and definitely a big goal for our team," Hogg said. "I'm glad I could contribute that way. I knew (Powell) was going to the net and wasn't looking for the pass. Talking on the bench, he said, 'Any opportunity you have, shoot the puck.'"
In the shootout, rookie forward Brent Howarth broke a 1-1 deadlock in the fourth round and goalie Jason Tapp stopped four of the five SteelHound shooters he faced to seal the victory.
Almost as big as the late rally was the effort of the Rayz' penalty killers. They erased all seven of Youngstown's power plays, including a critical 5-on-3 situation for a full two minutes to start the second period after the SteelHounds took a 2-0 lead late in the opening frame. The Rayz also killed off an overtime power play to force the shootout.
"That's been one of our strengths," said Tapp, who stopped the final 27 shots he saw over the final two periods and overtime. "I know we've struggled getting wins, but our PK has been pretty strong. Guys have been paying the price, blocking shots, clearing rebounds and doing the things they have to do to be successful. We needed it big-time and those guys stepped up."
Up next is five straight games on the road, with the hope Sunday's win can revive an offense that's been stagnant to start the season.
"If you watch it, it's just not there yet," McRae said. "It's a misfire or a wide shot or a second early or a second late. There are chances there and we have to start bearing down and burying them -- that's the bottom line."

Corpus Christi 0 1 1 0 1 -- 3

I value staying active- not being lazy. Also, when I exercise and eat right, I find that I perform better in my classes. I think more clearly and I stay on task and don't procrastinate.
My scenario for a student who might use this web site : My overweight friend is hooked on coffee and sugar drinks. The problem is when she gets to this afternoon class, she has no energy and can't seem to focus. She hasn't turned in her assignments and she needs help! Before the stress college life, she used to be in pretty good shape and at least turned in her assignments on time. The information in this website would put her on the right track physically and nutritionally resulting hopefully in more energy, improved academic performance and higher self-esteem because of her success or achievement in following the recommended exercise and eating habits from the website.
This blog is a tool of the Department of Special Programs and Services at Saddleback Community College in Mission Viejo, Ca. While some of the resources might be specific to the Saddleback community, hopefully many others will address the diverse needs of a variety of post-secondary students. Welcome and enjoy!

Dancing With The Stars
Dancing With the Stars 2013: Wendy Williams Tells Dina Lohan, "Nobody Wants to See You on DWTS"
We don't always agree with Wendy Williams — who didn't exactly light up the ballroom on Dancing With the Stars Season 12 — but we're feeling her argument against Dina Lohan.
Dina recently told Extra's Mario Lopez that she'd like to do DWTS — with pro Maksim Chmerkovskiy. The response from Wetpaint readers was swift, unanimous, and filled with variations on "Noooooo!"
Wendy is also on Team Hell No, but she went even further against Dina, chiding Lindsay Lohan's mom for faulty priorities. "I gotta tell you Dina Lohan is not a star. She's what appears to be a bad mom. One of the worst. She's the bad mom of what appears to be a falling star, Lindsay Lohan," Wendy said on her show on Wednesday (via Examiner). "Nobody wants to see you on Dancing With The Stars. You know where we want to see you, Dina? At your daughter's side, helping her clean up her act. Also, you know what Dina? Maks would never put up with your foolishness."
Served! During Dina's Extra interview, she complained that she was "the most misunderstood mother in America," so Wendy's words seem to echo a reason she'd want to do DWTS — to show people she's not how they picture her. Of course, she'd probably like the six-figure paycheck as well.

PROTEST AGAINST BUSH'S CUBA POLICIES - Mitch Perry
Tomorrow in Tampa a demonstration is being held against the new Cuba travel restrictions imposed by the Bush Administration on June 30th.
The new rules forbid Cuban-Americans from items, such as clothes, personal hygiene items, seeds, fishing supplies, soap-making equipment and veterinary medicines to their family members in Cuba. This rule also limits the recipients of these gift parcels to immediate family members by barring Cuban-Americans from sending basic necessities to their aunts, uncles and cousins in Cuba.
In addition, the amendment would prohibit the use of funds for the Administration's new rule that travelers to Cuba can only bring 44 pounds of luggage.
Henry Mendoza is from the group "Cuban Family Rights Committee".....He's angry at the restrictions, and that's why he's organized tomorrow morning's protest, scheduled to be held at 9AM at the corner of Columbus & Himes in West Tampa. He says the President has made a massive error (roll tape#1 o.q."family in Cuba as well")
Last week legislation co-sponsored by Tampa Congressman Jim Davis that would rescind the Administration's new Cuban restrictions passed in the House......It still needs Senate approval, and Congressman Davis told WMNF last week he's not certain when that will happen.(roll tape#2 o.q."so far so good")
Davis said he has heart breaking stories from Cuban-Americans living in Tampa who have already been affected adversely by the Bush Administration's new policy
(roll tape#3 o.q."suffering from Cuba")
Activist Henry Mendoza says part of tomorrow' demonstration is also a show of support for Davis' legislation - and he says it affects ALL Americans, not just those with family in Cuba (roll tape#4 o.q."anyway they want")
Again that protest against the Bush Administration's new restrictions on travel and remittances to Cuba takes place tomorrow morning at 9AM at the corner of Himes and Columbus in Tampa.comments powered by Disqus

How to protect your early-stage company
The UpTake: With a million things to consider when expanding your startup, one of the most important is brand and website security, says author Phil Laboon.
Secure Your Website
The more traffic you get, the bigger a target you are for hackers. Protect your website and your users by takings steps to prevent viruses and hacker infiltration. Set up creative login usernames and password (your password shouldn't be "password").
You can also be proactive by using tools like Sucuri SiteCheck to scan for malware, spam, blacklisting and other security issues on your website. This particular tool monitors your site and sends you alerts if it detects a security threat. Attacks on websites are common, so it's important to have some type of monitoring in place to make sure you're not being affected. Sometimes, by the time you realize you've been hacked or infected, your search engine rankings will already be suffering. It's much easier to prevent hacking than to recover from an attack.
With these tips, you can stay on top of movement within your industry as well as protect your brand during a vulnerable time of growth. Now it's your turn. What strategies have helped your small business take off?
Phil Laboon has been involved in the internet marketing space since 2001 where he started as a one-man consulting shop and has now consulted for everything from start-ups to Fortune 500's, developing clients' online presences and authority.

Local partner Gawad Kalinga and the JTI Foundation are helping to improve the quality of life of poor communities in the Philippines by building two new settlements that will house more than 60 families. These JTI Foundation GK Villages are located in the typhoon-prone provinces of Pangasinan and Ilocos Sur.
Besides offering space and comfort, the new homes are sited and specially constructed to withstand extreme weather conditions. The effectiveness of their design was dramatically proven in 2009 when Typhoon Parma struck Pangasinan, flooding 90 percent of the region. The houses resisted the storm, protected the families inside, and were used as evacuation centers for displaced persons from the surrounding countryside.
Residents were enthusiastic about the project from the start. "Our lives improved greatly when we came here," one notes. "We're safe now and we help each other like brothers and sisters... There is a true sense of community."
The project team continues to help the local communities to improve their livelihoods by raising cattle and goats. There are plans to sink a deep well to ensure safe water, set up a village store to make medicines and other essentials available locally, and even to construct a village school.

By Gerry J. GilmoreAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Jan. 23, 2008 The U.S. troop surge and the contributions of improved Iraqi security forces and concerned local citizens' groups have combined to tip the scales against al Qaeda in Iraq and other insurgents, a senior U.S. military officer said today.
The two-week-old Operation Phantom Phoenix that is pressuring insurgents across Iraq is building on successful surge-enabled offensives conducted in spring through the fall of 2007 in Anbar province and Baghdad, Army Brig. Gen. Joseph Anderson, chief of staff for Multinational Corps Iraq, told reporters during a conference call.
"The surge forces were critical," Anderson said, noting the additional 30,000 U.S. troops provided commanders "the ability to hold ground."
As the surge took hold, al Qaeda in Iraq operatives and other terrorists fled Baghdad into the Diyala River Valley and other areas north of the Iraqi capital city, Anderson explained. This exodus is borne out by the fact that about 60 percent of terrorist attacks in Iraq now occur in the northern part of the country, he noted.
Meanwhile, U.S. troops and Iraqi security forces and concerned local citizens' groups, now totaling about 80,000 people across Iraq, are keeping the pressure on insurgents, the general said.
"We will pursue al Qaeda and other extremists wherever they attempt to take sanctuary," Anderson said.
U.S. and Iraqi forces are being positioned to areas "where they are the most needed," he added.
"We will not give up" any ground taken from the insurgents, Anderson vowed.
Iraqi soldiers and police "have matured and developed," Anderson pointed out. The Iraqis, like their American counterparts, also are holding onto ground they've seized from the insurgents. The Iraqis' performance, the general said, "is allowing us to do Phantom Phoenix."
The success of concerned local citizens' groups "has enabled us to find numerous extremists, criminals, weapons and munitions caches," Anderson said.
The increased use of unmanned and manned aerial reconnaissance platforms has negatively impacted insurgents' attempts to launch mortar attacks against Iraqi and coalition forces or emplace roadside bombs, Anderson pointed out.
Consequently, the enemy "is much more aware that they don't have freedom of maneuver to go out and do all of that stuff," the general said.
Other operations being conducted across Iraq include forming an Iraqi civil-service corps and providing micro-grants to stimulate new businesses, Anderson said.
Phantom Phoenix is successfully taking the fight to the enemy, Anderson said, noting the broad scope and multifaceted power of the offensive is keeping the terrorists off balance and on the defensive.
"The focus of the offensive appears (to be going in) the right direction," the general said.

The "Outstanding Teachers for All Oakland Students" tax, as the name implies, would raise the wages of the school system's more than 2,000 teachers — but not its custodians, its secretaries, its teachers' aides, or its attendance clerks.
Which, of course, raises the question of equity: For the school system to improve, shouldn't all school employees benefit equally?
Most of the speakers at last night's hearing — which drew a decent sized crowd for Aug. 4 — seemed to think so. But Noel Gallo, the only school board member who supports OUSD's latest parcel tax initiative, made an intersesting counterpoint.
Gallo said the board and the district have long acknowledged the importance of improving teaching quality in Oakland. If it's truly a priority, he argued, the district should throw its resources behind it — and not spread its money too thin.
The Oakland school district is "too poor to be cheap," he said.
If the parcel tax measure passes, some $10 million a year will be spent on teachers' salaries, while the rest would go to charter schools. If all of the new compensation funding went to the district's roughly 220 first-year teachers, for example, their starting pay would go from under $40,000 to $48,000, Superintendent Roberta Mayor said at the meeting.
If distributed across the pay scale, the money would bump the starting teacher's salary to about $42,400, Mayor said, according to initial calculations. That amounts to about a 7 percent raise.
Given the funding limitations, does it make sense to funnel the funding into teacher pay, or is it short-sighted to neglect other employees? Which strategy stands the best chance of improving the education system, as a whole?
Of course, these discussions are contingent on the measure passing — possibly, without the support of the school board or the teachers.

Public Conversations: How Should We Grade Our Teachers?
By editor
This week, the education topic of basing teacher pay on performance was the subject of a WFAE Public Conversations forum. CMS is pushing such a plan, which would judge teacher performance in part on how well, or how poorly, students do on standardized tests. Our panel included two teachers with different opinions. One, Larry Bosc of East Mecklenburg High, has been a teacher for more than 30 years. He's against the CMS plan. Courtney Mason is in her fourth year teaching. She supports the plan. This audio includes an edited exchange between them, starting with Mr. Bosc. You can also listen to the entire public conversation here.

Grails is a high productivity framework for JVM, based on Groovy language. It has been around since 2006. Since then, innumerable sites have successfully been launched using the framework. Below are 15 reasons that make Grails the web development framework of choice:
The IndicThreads Conference On Software Development will be held on 13-14 July 2012 in Delhi NCR. Some of the key topics covered are: Java EE7, Hadoop, NoSQL, PhoneGap, BDD , JAX-RS, HTML5, GPars, Groovy, Node.js, Redis, SaaS, Machine Learning, Akka, PAAS, Nutch & more… Below is the detailed schedule. Conference Details at : http://Delhi12.IndicThreads.com . Continue reading »
Since 2006, IndicThreads' Conferences have been delivering world class content on technologies like Java, Cloud Computing, Mobile & Software Quality. IndicThreads is excited to bring the same world class, vendor-neutral technology learning to India's capital city, Delhi. IndicThreads Delhi will be held on 13 – 14 July.
Delhi 2012 sessions cover a vast array of critical & emerging software development technologies like JavaEE 7, Hadoop, JAX-RS, NoSQL, Redis, PhoneGap, jQuery Mobile, Sencha Touch, BDD Cucumber, HTML5, BPM, SOA, GPars, Groovy, Node.js, SaaS Architecture, Machine Learning, Akka, Nutch & more…
Build orchestration and automation has always been a tricky problem, especially once we start crossing application boundaries. Several tools in he Java ecosystem, such as ant and maven, have taken a stab at this problem.
A relatively new entrant to this space is Gradle. Built using Groovy it offers an extremely flexible means of describing builds with only as much text as is absolutely necessary thanks to it's powerful plugin infrastructure and sensible conventions borrowed from existing tools.
This session will introduce the audience to Gradle, the various DSLs used to describe builds as well as the plugin infrastructure that allows for extending Gradle's capabilities.
Simplifying Builds with Gradle was presented at 6th Annual IndicThreads.com Conference On Java, December 2011, Pune, India. Presentation – Slides

The TIOBE Programming index for April 2010 says that C is back at the No 1 position and the main reason is said to be the decline of Java which is showing a long-term downward trend. I am sure this will get reported as evidence of the end of Java being near. However while a downward trend for the Java language might be visible, I do not think there's any downward trend for the Java platform as a whole. Continue reading »
While some find Groovy language still in its infancy, others know that there is now Groovy++ and are all eyes and ears on what "++" of the language is going to bring, which itself was touted by some as Java++. Continue reading »

The 2011 NCAA Tournament had taken a wrong turn for the state of Ohio.
At the 2011 NCAA Wrestling Tournament, the proud state of Ohio was to have just four All-Americans, though ten Ohio wrestlers (eleven if you include non-Ohioans wrestling at in-state schools) had earned seeds at the tournament. 2011 was already considered a down year for the state, but four All-Americans is a disheartening sum.
Two Kent State wrestlers battled through the consolation brackets to the Round of 12, but each lost his match and fell short of All-American status. Nic Bedelyon, a returning All-American and the 5th seed at 125, found himself the recipient of a tough draw and would face both the 3rd seed (Brandon Precin, Northwestern) and the 4th seed (James Nicholson, Old Dominion) before he could secure All-American status. Bedelyon nearly finished the winning takedown in his Round of 12 match with Nicholson, but fell short. Brendan Barlow was bested in the 30-second overtime rideout of his go-to match with unseeded Levi Cooper.
Ohio's highest seeded wrestler, undefeated Chris Honeycutt, was knocked off by eventual champion Quentin Wright in the quarterfinals, and was majored in the consolation bracket by an opponent he had previously picked apart for a 7-2 win.
The other undefeated Ohio native, freshman David Taylor, had ridden his season of utter dominance to the brink of glory, but was pinned in a shocking finals match with former teammate Bubba Jenkins. The crowd was eerily silent in anticipation, just waiting to see what fantastic ending might consume that historic night. The last thing fans envisioned was the phenomenal freshman being pinned, but that is what came to pass. Jenkins tightly locked up a cradle off Taylor's second period shot, and David's shoulders were pressed.
There Ohio stood, glad for the three All-Americans who had finished their tournaments, but generally underwhelmed by 2011 season and its capstone tournament. Only one wrestler remained.

Toda Institute Holds Conflict Resolution Workshops in Thailand and U.S.
The Toda Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research held workshops on nonviolent conflict resolution in Thailand from January 19-20 and in the U.S. on February 4.
The first workshop, held in Chiang Mai, Thailand, was cosponsored by Payap University in Chiang Mai and the Peace Information Center of Thamassat University in Bangkok. It opened with remarks by Toda Institute Secretary General Dr. Kevin Clements.
Focusing on nonviolent conflict resolution and reconciliation in the Asia-Pacific region, discussion centered around case studies of political, religious and ethnic conflict in countries such as Thailand, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia. The discussions highlighted how, even in the midst of the most violent conflict, continued efforts to find nonviolent resolutions are invaluable to the post-conflict reconciliation and reconstruction process.
The second workshop, cohosted by the Toda Institute and The Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University near Boston, Massachusetts, where it was held, brought together conflict resolution researchers and frontline conflict mediators. Under the theme "Psychology and Intractability: Theory Informing Practice," the workshop provided a forum to pursue ways to bridge the gap between conflict resolution theory and practice.
There were presentations on three conflicts: the Rwandan genocide of 1994 by Olivier Dreier, executive director of the Karuna Center for Peacebuilding; Israeli-Palestinian relations by Eileen Babbitt, professor of International Conflict Management Practice at the Fletcher School; and Armenian-Turkish relations by Pam Steiner, fellow of the FXB Center for Health and Human Rights at the Harvard School of Public Health.
The Toda Institute for Global Peace and Policy Research was founded by SGI President Daisaku Ikeda in 1996 to promote the pursuit of peace through dialogue and provide a forum for peace researchers and policy makers to discuss nonviolent conflict resolutions.

opinionBy Peter Vale
Johannesburg — AS BURMA's generals seek the wherewithal to feed their burgeoning prison population, South Africans ought perhaps to consider what they might have done to make a difference.
The Mbeki government's vacillation over the Saffron Revolution - as some now call recent events in Burma - has hidden behind the discourse of human rights and a somewhat technical debate around United Nations reform. As guides to building a better world, these pursuits are consistent with the strong undertakings around the future direction of the country's foreign policy, which were made when apartheid ended. But as a response to the press of everyday politics in Burma (and elsewhere, of course) they have been found wanting. The fact of the matter is this: over the past 15 years, SA has done nothing substantial on Burma. This has continued in the face of expectations that SA's own experience - an imprisoned leader, a government guided by the military, international sanctions, to mention only three similarities between apartheid SA and present-day Burma - would compel this country to assist.
Expectation is a poor guide to foreign policy behaviour but the poignancy of the Burmese case lies in another truism -- that liberation politics always lives on hope alone. These lessons were brought home to me almost a decade ago when, at the behest of a Scandinavian government, I visited Thailand to counsel Burmese refugees.
The verb counsel is carefully chosen: the brief was slightly different. It asked that I talk about what Burmese democracy groups could learn from SA's successful transition. Put differently, was SA's experience instructive elsewhere?
In long talks with activists, some exiled, some not, I relived much of the dark trauma of SA in the 1980s -- the torture, the betrayal, the death of loved ones and much more.
But the high hopes that the African National Congress had promised for this country's foreign policy had been largely muted. The cunning insertion of the
19th-century idea of "national interest" into the foreign policy agenda had emptied all high-sounding words of their content. In their place, a new procedural discourse purported to link SA to the "real world" -- this held that the legal clause always carried greater weight than the liberation cause.
As a British commentator jubilantly proclaimed at the time, SA had become just another country. Put into the more accommodating language of
socio-psychology, the new SA had been "domesticated".
It was both difficult and painful to explain this to the Burmese. Their understandings of this country glowed in the hype around the ending of apartheid and were embellished by Nelson Mandela's commanding international standing. Surely, I was repeatedly asked, SA would do something that would both secure the release of Aung San Sui Kyi -- who had been under house arrest for six years -- and get conversations going between her and the junta.
In long days and sometimes even longer nights, the six words "don't build your hopes too much" frequently passed my lips. Again and again, the Burmese who heard them were disbelieving. Sometimes they were bewildered; sometimes plain angry.
My field notes make for painful reading; as, incidentally, does the report I wrote for the sponsors. On my return, I presented a copy of the same document to the Presidency, but never heard another word on the matter.
Eighteen months later, the Scandinavians asked me to return to conduct a workshop. This time I took a colleague -- a lawyer whose energy and interest in the constitution-making process deeply engaged the Burmese exiles. The fruit of this work was widely explored in academic and other writings in Asia and elsewhere.
What does this account say about the role of governments in bringing political change in other countries? Surely the lesson is this: short of invasion, the exercise of leverage
over other governments is difficult, if not impossible. And it is here that South Africans need to remember their own history.
More than anything else, people power sealed apartheid's fate. Just three examples will make this point: the internal ructions of the 1980s; the global anti-apartheid movement and financial sanctions. Without these, whatever others -- particularly in the west -- triumphantly now claim, SA's people might well now be facing a similar crackdown to that which has silenced -- but seemingly not stilled -- the Saffron Revolution.
There is, however, more cause for belief that changes can happen in Burma than there was in 1999. First, the purported call by Aung San Sui Kyi that the people of the world will help to free Burma is a clear signal that the country's real leadership knows that the undomesticated power of people can help change the world.
Second, the fact that Gary Player has been dropped from the Nelson Mandela Invitation Golf Tournament following the outcry over the fact that he designed a golf course in the country he calls Myanmar is patent evidence that South Africans can help free Burma.

ACC presents second rebuttal against speaker
Land Allotment Case: There existed no proof of the National Assembly speaker in his capacity as Mongar dzongda in 2001 that the Gyalpoizhing plot allotment was done openly through public notification.
This was one of the main arguments Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) representatives, in their second rebuttal statement against the speaker at the Mongar district court, presented.
The defendant also deceived the government, the statement read, by stating that the committee allotted the plots, when he did it.
ACC's statement also said the defendant had encouraged people he knew to apply for plots, and most of those who received plots in Gyalpoizhing were rich and powerful people.
"The defendant, as the implementer of the policy of government, has abused his position," the statement said. "He instead went on to favour powerful individuals, rather than alleviate the plight of common people."
The statement stated that local residents, and those who lost their land to the project, were not considered, despite their applications.
It also said the zonal administrator was very clear in issuing the order that stressed the plots be given to alleviate the plights of those business people, who were unable to acquire plots, and were, therefore, conducting their business from huts.
From a total of 14 acres allotted during the defendant's tenure between 2001 and 2002, 12.74 acres, ACC's rebuttal statement said, were allotted to individuals, who did not qualify, going by the government approved criteria.
In 2001, out of 26 commercial plots, it stated 23 were allotted to individuals, who did not fulfill the criteria; it was the same about residential plots, where out of 41 residential plots, 32 were allotted to individuals, who did not fulfill government criteria.
In 2002, seven more plots were allotted to individuals, who did not fulfill the criteria.
The statement said the defendant abused his authority to allot the many plots deceptively, and saying they were done by the plot allotment committee through a lucky draw.
"In reality, these plots were allotted by the defendant himself, and these individual did not participate in the lucky draw," the statement read. "It is thus a deceptive practice described under Na 1-2 of the Thrimzhung Chhenmo."
The defendant was instructed not to register the plots and collect money, until government approval was conveyed to him.
"The many letters and correspondences, seeking clarification and providing instructions, were, in the opinion of the state, administrative redressals," ACC's statement said. "The defendant, however, provided vague, evasive and false clarification."
ACC officials also said the dzongda, who preceded the speaker, Karma Dorji, in his statement to the commission, said the command to allot plots at Mongar town was given to him by the fourth King. However, when it came to allotment of plots at Gyalpoizhing, he had said, the fourth Druk Gyalpo did not give any specific command.
Therefore, ACC's statement said the submission of the defendant that he was bestowed the authority to allocate plots was null and void.
The criteria to allot plots, it said, were clear, which the defendant deviated from to favour individuals, based on his personal preference.
Speaker Jigme Tshultim reiterated his earlier stance again that the case having been taken over by ACC, and the district court admitting it violated the Constitution.
"We all have to work within the purview of law," he said, adding ACC was a constitutional body and had its own Act to function within which and not beyond. He said the ACC Act came into effect in July 5, 2011.
Office of the Attorney General (OAG), as a constitutional body, he said, had its own mandate, and it has found no basis to prosecute the case.
"I know law as a speaker, and I went through all the process of law to get elected," he said. "It's treason to break the provisions of the Constitution, and ACC has done that."
There are 20 dzongdas and drangpons in the country's 20 districts, to represent the King and execute his command.
During the plot allotment, he said, gups, mangmis and tshogpas were also there, except for a few villagers and they did not get land.
There were only around 19 shops and allotted plots as per the rules, set criteria and kings kaja.
"I used my authority to help my people because of which they are happy with me," he said. "I reached my present position, because of my contribution then."
At the court, the speaker, who said the media failed to reflect his points of views, asked the drangpon of the possibility of having the broadcast media in the court room.
The drangpon said that recording devices of any kind was disallowed in the courtroom and that he could seek the chief justice's approval if the speaker really wished, to which the speaker said if that was the case, they should stick to the rules.

I also had the similar notion that only His Majesty has the authority to grant kidu land, but it is not that anymore with the National Land Commission taking full advantage of the authority devolved to them. Some section of people in NLC are the most corrupt people in Bhutan, if I may say. They always side with the rich, powerful and beautiful. If you have a beautiful sister or daughter, you can get things done by the NLC. Otherwise it is next to impossible.

I always have been thinking that only His Majesty the King grants land kidus to landless people, but it proved me that my notion of perception was wrong, because there were authorities as well who granted land kidus to richer people as well who already have so many acres of lands in their possession. A hard earned contributions are always reflected at the last stage … When it comes in a court of law, only the Drangpon has the authority to have media or what so ever as per his will… otherwise, some day even the prisoners will ask for a set of televisions in the cells.

Anyone who's been a regular reader over the last couple of years knows that I have no problem letting my children use the internet. They both have far too many Webkinz and know all the best places online to go play free games and like to consult Wikipedia when they feel the need to look something up.
I'm not anti-kid-computer-use, at all. I think it's great that this generation of kids is growing up with a mouse in one hand. But I also think it's very easy, as a parent, to forget that our kids need to be closely monitored while online, too. Please be smart about where your kids surf; check sites like Safe Internet Safe Kids and use parental controls on your computer. (Hey, most of this stuff is common sense. I'm just reiterating what you already know.)
That said, I'll also say this: I think there's lots of great sites out there for kids to enjoy which are absolutely free, so I'm generally skeptical about sites which require payment. But here are some pay-for-play sites that crossed my radar recently, so I'm going to give you the Toy Box Mommy Two Cents on 'em. (My opinion is worth exactly what you pay for it, by the way.)
Scholastic StudyJams! is designed as a curriculum supplement for kids in grades three to six. It offers an array of media (games, quizzes, videos) on an assortment of topics, and my daughter couldn't get enough of it when we recently explored it via free trial. It's education made fun, and the target audience is ideal; old enough to truly "get it" but young enough to be tricked into learning. Would I pay $9.95/month for it…? I'll plead the 5th, but my daughter would be thrilled if I did.
PBS KIDS PLAY! provides "interactive curriculum based learning activities for kids ages 3 to 6." Do three-year-olds truly need a curriculum? I mean, I love PBS, and I'm sure the content here is great… but so's the content on their free site. Not to mention that I have a hard time picturing this being so superior that I'd open my wallet because, goshdarnit, my three-year-old needs me to purchase content! I'm just sayin'.
And finally, I received a very enthusiastic press release yesterday about KidZui, a new browser purporting to be "the internet for kids" because it only allows surfing within its parent- and teacher-reviewed 500k+ sites. It makes surfing the internet "fun and easy for kids 3-12." Yeah. Ummmm. What's safe and easy for twelve-year-olds is not going to be safe and easy for three-year-olds. So I'm skeptical from the get-go, here, and not just because I fear that such a service will lull parents into thinking they needn't monitor their kids' internet activities. There is no such thing as a browser or service that keeps your kids safe online. You keep your kids safe online by keeping tabs on what they're doing.
So should you be paying for content for your kids? I have no idea—that's up to you. But wherever your kids are going online, I hope you're keeping track.

Incredible photos of the northern lights in Michigan, Oct. 24, 2011
In the wee hours of Monday, Oct. 24, 2011, a geomagnetic storm started slamming earth's atmosphere with waves of charged particles. From the ground, it almost looked like immense fireworks were going off in the sky. The aurora borealis was so intense that residents of the Deep South even got a peek. Here's are photos of what the storm looked like at its peak, courtesy of Lake Superior Photo. (Check out LakeSuperiorPhoto on Facebook for more.)
A more soothing view
The photographer had retreated to a car to change camera lenses when the sky developed into a less violent light show.
