2002 Gujarat riots: Dipda Darwaza convicts move HC
Top Stories
The 22 accused convicted in the 2002 Dipda Darwaza riot case moved the Gujarat High Court Thursday challenging their sentence awarded by a trial court.
The designated fast-track court in Mehsana had in July sentenced 21 accused to life imprisonment while then Visnagar police inspector M K Patel was convicted of dereliction of duty and was sentenced to one-year imprisonment.
"There are numerous grounds for challenging the lower court's order. The basis of conviction found by the court is largely based on IPC section 307 (attempt to murder) and not IPC 302 (murder) and 120B (conspiracy). The Special Investigation Team, which investigated the case, couldn't find evidence of the people supposed to have been killed. Therefore, life imprisonment is not reasonable," said lawyer Ashish Dagli, who is representing the convicts.
Dagli said the HC has admitted their appeal and the matter is likely to be heard within a week.
The trial court had acquitted 61 accused in the case, giving them benefit of doubt while 10 others were set free as there were no evidence against them. Among those acquitted were Prahalad Gosa, the then BJP MLA from Visnagar, and MT Patel, the then president of Visnagar Municipality.
As many as 11 members of a family were killed in the massacre on February 28, 2002.
Absconding Naroda Patiya convict in net
AHMEDABAD: THE Special Investigation Team (SIT) probing the post-Godhra riots on Thursday arrested Suresh Netalkar alias Suresh Langda, who had been absconding after being convicted in the Naroda Patiya massacre case.
An SIT team nabbed Langda from Nadurbar in Maharashtra, sources said.
Langda was convicted for murder, attempt to murder, rape and conspiracy.
ACP (crime) Nirlipt Rai, who led the SIT team that nabbed Langda, said he was arrested on the orders of the special court, which had issued a non-bailable warrant against him.

Sanyo has announced it will begin marketing a washing machine which does not require washing powder or soap of any kind. The machine cleans the clothes by combining electrolysed water's dirt dissolving and bacteria removing properties with its ultrasonic wave technology. For really dirty clothes, there's a cycle suitable for using detergent, but if used in "zero detergent" mode, Sanyo claims the machine is capable of saving AUS$180 a year in detergent costs alone. No plans are in place for an Australian release just yet, but the Japanese domestic price of the machine will be around AUS$2000, meaning it will pay for itself in just over a decade.
No Washing Powder Required

Youth baseball clinics starting on Feb. 15
The Gilford Cal Ripken Youth Baseball League is happy to announce the return of its "spring training" skills clinics for the 2015 season. This is a 5-week series of clinics that will focus on all the fundamentals of throwing, fielding and hitting, as well as pitching and catching.
Players from the towns of Gilford and Laconia who are eligible to play in either the Majors, Minors, or Rookie divisions for the upcoming regular season are encouraged to attend.
Clinics will be held from 4 to 5:30 on Sundays in the GHS gymnasium for players ages 7-12, and Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 8 p.m. at the Gilford Community Center for players ages 9-12. Clinics will begin on Sunday, February 15 and run for 5 weeks. A one-time donation of $20 per family is requested, which covers both locations and time slots. Aside from a ball glove, the only equipment needed will be a pair of clean indoor shoes and shorts or sweats. Players are also encouraged to register for the 2015 season at any of these times.
For questions or more information, please contact any Gilford Cal Ripken board member from the links on www.gilfordbaseball.org.

Junior hockey: Wolves bounce back, beat Junior Monarchs 6-2
LACONIA — The New England Wolves rebounded from Saturday night's defeat at the hands of the New Hampshire Junior Monarchs with a decisive 6-2 win over the 2014 MJHL Champion Boston Bandits on Sunday afternoon in Bridgewater, Mass.
Sunday's 6-2 victory was paced by two of the league's youngest players, Laconia's Bryce Ricker and Moscow, Russia native Mikhail Astakhov. The 1998 birth year players tallied 2 goals each. Steadied on their forward line by MJHL All- Star Kevin Morello (who recorded 1 goal and 3 assists himself), the trio played with terrific chemistry and discipline throughout the effort. "Coach Potenza and I tried mixing up our combinations and lines to jump start our offense on Sunday and it worked. Getting statistical contributions from our youngest players says a lot about their development and the health of the program," said Wolves coach Andrew Trimble.
Additionally, Wolves captain Dillon Smith played his first full game on defense, due to the illness of other defenders and the injury to Will Francis, and recorded a multi-assist game. 6'4" 1994 birth year defender Hunter Craig also scored. Netminder Harley Eliason made several key saves, including a cross crease pad save mid-way through the 2nd period that preserved the lead for his teammates. Towards the latter portion of the 3rd period, penalties became an issue including a game ejection for the Bandits coach, and the Wolves displayed tremendous discipline.
The Wolves return to action next weekend (February 14 and 15) with games in Hackensack, N.J. as part of the MJHL's final league showcase. They will be taking on the Philadelphia Revolution and the Wilkes-Barre/ Scranton Knights. Both are Southern Division teams.

Gunstock Swim Team back in action
It's almost the end of the Fall/Winter competitive swim season and yet members of the Gunstock Swim Team had yet to compete in a sanctioned meet. Their pool had only recently reopened for training – after closing its doors two seasons ago – when local businessman Les Schuster purchased the Gunstock Inn and Fitness Center and welcomed back the competitive USA Swim team.
Only 15 swimmers comprise the new team. Coached by Al Rozzi and Jim and Martha McIntire, they found success recently at the Connecticut Valley Invitational, hosted by Upper Valley Aquatic Center in White River Junction, Vt. It was the one and only chance for GST to individually qualify for end-of-season competition, namely Regionals (N.H.), Silvers (N.H. and Mass.) and Age Groups (New England).
The following swimmers have qualified for further competition: Sarah Bellefleur (age 12/Wolfeboro) 50 Breast (Regionals), 50 Fly & 50 Free (Silvers); Sydney Eastman (age 9/Gilford) 50 Free (Regionals); Bradley McIntire (age 10/Gilmanton) 50 Fly (Silvers), 50 Back (new meet record), 50 Free (new meet record), 100 IM (Age Groups); Reagan McIntire (age 12/Gilmanton) 50 Fly, 50 Free (Regionals), 50 Breast (Silvers); Lachlan Plache (age 15/Wolfeboro) 50 Free, 100 Free (Regionals); Lily Stinchfield (age 12/Wolfeboro) 50 Back, 50 Free (Regionals); Carolyn Trepanier (age 13/Wolfeboro) 100 Back, 50 Free,(Regionals). Madison Eastman (age 13/Gilford) and Essence Bourque (age 14/Barnstead) both achieved personal best times. Eastman bested her seed times in the 100 Free, 100 Back and 100 Breast. Bourque bested her previous times in the 100 Free, 100 Back and 100 Fly.

Why Jeffrey Toobin Is Wrong About the Supreme Court and Obamacare
"This was a train wreck for the Obama administration. This law looks like it's going to be struck down." And with that hyperbolic instant reaction, CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin prejudiced media coverage of the Supreme Court arguments on the constitutionality of Obamacare. But reading the entire transcript carefully, I wondered if I was reading the same thing Toobin witnessed inside the court.

Pretty good! My family always added leftover mashed potatoes. We always put them in the fridgefor an hour to help them set before frying
I've tried salmon patties with oatmeal and bread crumbs before, but never with crackers. I thought it was a little odd at first, but it tasted pretty good.They didn't seem too well bound, and broke some while turning them. But all in all, not a bad effort. I also added a little chopped onion out of habit.

The installer on the job makes openings in the internal and external longitudinal grooves according to his "selective powers". The corners are negotiated by the bus bars by adding an L-shaped connection. The system is distinguishable for requiring the electrician to open the preferred locations in the outlet molding for enabling an electrical plug with two contacts to contact the bus bars.

U.S. Reissue Pat. No. 355,161 issued on Feb. 7, 1995, to Larry J. Bodnar describes a combined electrical outlet and outlet holder comprising an outlet with a pair of prong contacts, a longitudinal holder with two longitudinal apertures, and a U-shaped wall bracket to secure the holder.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,283,398 issued on May 19, 1942, to Harry R. Van Derventer describes an electric circuit molding made of rubber which may be tapped at any point comprising two longitudinal slots which are normally closed but have deformable edges for tapping.

Phosphorbronze conductor strips with in-turned edges are inserted in each of the two slots in the rubber circuit molding.
U.S. Pat. No. 2,441,461 issued on May 11, 1948, to Anthony Wayne describes an electric utility connection moulding comprising a U-shaped plastic moulding having an inner filler strip to define two longitudinal recesses for incorporating a pair of resilient tubular contacts.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,786,171 issued on Jan. 15, 1974, to Jerry P. Shira describes an integral hinged wiring raceway.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,052,937 issued on Oct. 1, 1991, to Bryan D. Glen describes a baseboard with a movable electrical outlet slid along a track.

U.K. Patent Application No. 517,318 published on Jan. 26, 1940, for Drury N. Davies et al. describes a plastic hollow duct having two or more spaced conductor members, and has a slot or openings between them into which a plug can be inserted along with an earth contact.
U.K. Patent Application No. 2 067 363 A published on Jul. 22, 1981, for Akihiro Suzue et al. describes an electric power supply track with upper and central buffer spaces for encasing a pair of conductors for an electric power supply for a plug-in socket and for wiring cables.
U.K. Patent Application No. 2 149 230 A published on Jun. 5, 1985, for John I. Hankin describes an electrical track distribution system comprising an elongate box panel with a longitudinal aperture defining lips of differing thickness, and with electrical conductors on the inwardly facing lip surface. An earth conductor is located on back inner surface of the panel.
E.P.O. Patent Application No. 0 428 055 A2 published on May 22, 1991, for Eero Pajunen describes a conductor rail having various cross-sectional configurations ranging from a U-shaped rail to circular with or without a cover. A plurality of conductors are inset in longitudinal insulator grooves. Various configurations of insulator structures are described.
None of the above inventions and patents, taken either singularly or in combination, is seen to describe the instant invention as claimed. Thus, a fabricated continuous baseplate for electrical installations solving the aforementioned problems is desired.
The present invention is directed to a continuous baseboard electrical outlet which can be installed during initial construction, or after as a retrofit. There is a need for this device for providing the placement of electrical appliances at any point in a room without being restricted to actual spaced outlets and an inadequate number to support the appliances required for a specific room, be it a bedroom, kitchen, living room, hallway, etc. The universal outlet is safe from curious children, but allows placement of an electrical appliance anywhere in a room at any time. The baseboard electrical outlet has a support bracket for the wall, continuous embedded electrical contacts along the length of the electrical device to allow a user to install an electrical plug into the outlet at any point along the length of the outlet, and a duct for communication cables. This extruded base plate wall outlet device can be substituted for any existing electrical base plate.
Accordingly, it is a principal object of the invention to provide a safe, continuous, electrical plug outlet for any room, hallway and the like.
It is another object of the invention to provide a continuous electrical plug outlet as a baseboard and a substitute for existing electrical base plate outlets.
It is a further object of the invention to provide a continuous electrical baseboard plug outlet which is extruded and has continuous embedded electrical contacts.
Still another object of the invention is to provide a continuous electrical baseboard plug outlet which has a duct for communication cables such as telephone and cable television wires.
It is an object of the invention to provide improved elements and arrangements thereof for the purposes described which is inexpensive, dependable and fully effective in accomplishing its intended purposes.
These and other objects of the present invention will become readily apparent upon further review of the following specification and drawings.
FIG. 1 is a partial, environmental, perspective view of a room corner having a continuous fabricated baseplate for electrical installations installed with an exemplary electrical plug for an appliance inserted according to the present invention.
FIG. 2 is a partial exploded perspective view of the outlet with its support bracket, fastener, and an included electrical cable.
Similar reference characters denote corresponding features consistently throughout the attached drawings.
The present invention illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 2 is directed to a fabricated electrical baseplate outlet device 10 for electrical installations along the wall 12 of a room 14 adjacent the floor 16.
As shown in FIG. 2, the device 10 comprises an extruded extensive length of an insulative plastic baseplate having three continuous parallel indentations 18 exposed in its front portion along its entire length. Each indentation 18 has a continuous electrical contact strip 20 in its innermost region for insertion of an electrical inlet plug and wire 22 (FIG. 1) of an appliance (not shown) for a source of electricity. The plug portion 22 may have either a ground electrode or not.
As depicted in an enlarged version with an open end in FIG. 2, the device 10 has a continuous coping 24 having a rear open cavity 26 with a top wall 28 and a bottom wall 30. The cavity 26 is continuous, linear, and has a pair of parallel aligned protuberances or keys 32 on its top and bottom walls 28, 30, respectively.
As shown in FIG. 2, a rectangular plastic block 34 has linear aligned slots or keyways 36 conforming to include by friction fit the two protuberances or keys 32 in the cavity 26 for securing the device 10 along the wall 12 on the floor 16. The block 34 has an aperture 46 aligned with its horizontal axis for fastening the block 34 to the wall 12.
The device 10 has a continuous trough 38 in its bottom portion with a continuous rear opening 40 for insertion of one or more electrical cables 42. The device 10 is attached to walls 12 adjacent the floor 16 by fasteners 44 inserted through apertures 46 made during the installation in the front portion of the device 10 in the region of the continuous rear opening 40 in the trough 38.
The three continuous electrical contact strips 20 are U-shaped brass strips embedded in the indentations 18 during extrusion of the device 10. This construction adds to the stability of the contact strips 20 in the device 10 to withstand the frequent insertion and withdrawal of the inlet contact plugs 22 over a prolonged period of use. The U-shaped brass strips 20 have a pair of aligned, parallel, narrow, and longitudinal protrusions 48 for securely gripping the electrodes of each plug 22 inserted in the device 10.
Thus, an economical and ergonomic electrical baseplate device 10 has been shown which would eliminate the problem of placing electrical appliances at restricted specific baseboard outlets in a room, hallway and the like, when building or installing as a retrofitting device in a dwelling.
It is to be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiment described above, but encompasses any and all embodiments within the scope of the following claims.

Huge Portions for a reasonable price. Good Service compared to other places we have visited. However, waitresses need to check back after meal is delivered to refill water etc.
We would go back here again.
I work a mere few meters away from Dim Sum King, the building next door to be more exact. I purchase food from them on a regular basis, say two to three times per week at least.
My lunch starts at 12, so My coworkers and I place our orders no later than 11:30. Recently, we have noticed that every...
Ive had chinese all over the world. And i must say. This is prob one of if not some of the best if ever had. Great quality. Very wide menu. And all at a great price. Call in and take out available too
Food is yummy and you get alot of food for a very reasonable price in my opinion. Its not fine dining with a fancy atmosphere but its a cute place to just have a casual meal experience.
Best chine food you will ever eat. The broccoli is great and their dim sum fried rice. Prompt service and the place is very clean.
A good alternative to run of the mill Chinese food. Dining is quite and out of the way, great pick up point for 'on the go' as there is a supermarket on the same compound. Late closing time to match casino on compound.
Had dinner and lunch with friends.The servings are quite substantial and the taste is exquisite.An appetising pepper sauce is available.You can have a drink of your choice...the chinese tea finishes your meal.Great ambiance...good service...friendly staff...a bit pricey....but you are very satisfied with your meal.
Everything is delicious, the dim sum was unique in taste..great service...affordable price...don't worry about location..Taste is more important
The food is good. Nothing extraordinary. But great value. Good sized portions too. It is a very big restaurant. Lots of space if you have a big party with you. However I don't know if they are ever full because they few times I have been there it is relatively empty. The service is also not that great.
Here is a restaurant owned and operated by Chinese. You have authentic Chinese cuisine. You must try the Dim Sum. Service is very good. Food quality and quantity is excellent. Although, depending on when you go the Dim Sum menu is limited. Best time to go is Sundays for brunch.
Location is not all that but when you get inside...

Scenario of point of care DS Patient X arrives for her office visit. The nurse brings her back to the examination room and puts a preliminary diagnosis of ""sinus infection"" into the computer. Dr. Smith arrives to see her a few minutes later. After examining her and confirming the preliminary diagnosis, Dr. Smith clicks a button to reveal an evidence-based recommendation on the best antibiotic options for this condition. The computer returns a list of three antibiotic choices; next to each choice is an icon indicating whether that medication is covered on patient X"s plan. The first antibiotic is off-formulary, so Dr. Smith selects the second antibiotic. The computer checks the patient"s other active medications, and an alert window pops up indicating that the drug may interact with one of her diabetes drugs, resulting in vomiting (in fact, it was this interaction, not the patient"s age or kidney function, which was responsible for patient X"s vomiting in the first scenario; in that scenario, the physician never did make this connection).

The scope of a typical DSS KM is the assessment of a single patient in a specified topic area. The topic area may be narrow (e.g., the need for a glycated hemoglobin test for a patient with diabetes) or broad (e.g., the existence of contraindications to any medications prescribed or about to be prescribed for a patient).

Go Daddy is maintaining its steadfast support of the U.S. government's position opposing the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) treaty and a last-minute resolution aimed at relinquishing control of the Internet to the United Nations.
The U.S. government, along with several Internet companies including Google and Go Daddy, has adamantly opposed new government controls outlined in the proposed telecommunications treaty debated this week at the World Conference on International Telecommunications (WCIT) in Dubai.
"We stand with the Internet community-at-large in rejecting any plans that would allow this treaty to regulate the Web," said newly-appointed Go Daddy General Counsel Nima Kelly. "It is clear to us that some have a keen interest in censorship, but we believe organic expression … freedom of speech … is what makes the Internet such an empowering force in our society."
The debate over giving control of digital communications to the U.N. took place over the last two weeks in the United Arab Emirates, whose government was among those calling for further Internet restrictions.
Go Daddy was a member of the U.S. delegation attending the WCIT and has always supported the principles cited by the U.S., Canada and several European countries in their refusal to support the proposed resolution. The U.S. contends the Internet should not have been referenced from the start and argues the resolution diminishes free speech because it would replace the more open form of Internet oversight, with a government-led model. Currently, multi-stakeholder organizations, such as the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names Numbers (ICANN) manage key functions of the Internet.
Blake Irving, who officially takes the reins as Go Daddy CEO next month, echoed concerns over the proposed changes to regulate the Internet. "The global nature of the Internet, as we know it, has been, and is, vitally important to freedom of speech. The Internet is the 'voice' for societal needs and consumer demands."
Go Daddy is the world's largest provider of Web hosting and domain names, serving as a one-stop shop for small businesses to leverage the power of the Internet. Go Daddy serves nearly 11 million customers globally.
The goal of the conference, which failed, was to review and revise the 1988 treaty for all members. The conference, some say, uncovered a deep philosophical divide between world governments and vastly different visions about the future of the Internet. As for what happens next with the resolution, there will be no immediate impact on the Internet, though it is certainly not the end of the discussion.

The basic integration architecture, as defined by ESBs, hasn't changed for more than a decade. Most cloud integration providers still rely on an ESB architecture and their proprietary connectors. As a result, enterprise integration projects suffer from constraints of availability and reliability of these connectors that are not re-usable across other integration vendors. However, the rapid adoption of APIs and almost ubiquitous availability of APIs amongst most SaaS and Cloud applications are rapidly redefining traditional integration approaches and their reliance on proprietary connectors. ...

The financial services industry is as adept as other professions in developing jargon. This is sometimes a useful and convenient way to express ideas succinctly between groups of busy peers. Too frequently, it is also a practice used liberally by practitioners in a bid to make them sound to the uninitiated as though they know what they are talking about - when often they do not.
Some of this jargon is deliberately designed to put a favourable 'spin' on something. The idea is that by changing the way a product, say, is described, it can induce positive thinking that may cloud an independent party's view of the facts.
Much of such practice is harmless enough. These days, we are used to hearing about 'high-yield' rather than 'sub-investment-grade' debt or - to put a negative connotation on it - 'junk'. But it becomes more sinister when terms like 'best-of' structures that promote an unfeasibly high headline coupon of, say, 40% are used in discussions with retail investors, when a simple back-test would show that investors will be lucky to receive much above 0% in returns.
The term 'over-hedging' appears to be an extreme example - it has been increasingly used in recent months to describe currency positions taken by Asian companies. 'Over-hedging' in volatile markets has apparently pushed many small private entitites into bankruptcy and forced Citic Pacific to reach for a large-scale bailout from its mainland parent.
A 'hedge' is 'a contract entered into or asset held as a protection against possible financial loss', according to The Oxford English Dictionary. And to hedge is to 'protect (an investor or investment) against loss by making compensating contracts or transactions'. So what is an 'over-hedge'? The Oxford English Dictionary doesn't appear to have a definition. That's because it is a term used by companies that want to take speculative positions in asset classes where they may have some direct exposure. But over-hedging has nothing to do with efforts to protect against financial loss - rather, it refers to outright bets on the markets.
There is nothing wrong with speculating - hedge funds and bank proprietary trading desks do so every day. But investors do not tend to buy into corporates for their financial derivatives trading capabilities. And investors should certainly be aware that a company is undertaking such activities.
Moreover, use of the term threatens to tarnish companies that deploy genuine 'hedges' that enable them to focus on the business area where they believe they have a competitive advantage. The term 'over-hedging' is a misnomer - and a dangerous one to boot.

More than any other world leader in recent times, George W. Bush is a man of faith…a conservative Christian who has brought the power of prayer and the search for God's will into the Oval Office. His faith has proven to be a bedrock of strength and resolve during two of the most tumultuous years in our nation's history. According to Newsweek magazine, "This presidency is the most resolutely faith based in modern times. An enterprise founded, supported and guided by trust in the temporal and spiritual power of God." David Aikman, skilled journalist and former senior correspondent for TIME magazine, pens this dramatic and gripping account of Bush's journey to faith. Based on interviews and behind-the-scenes stories, you'll learn how…
A Man of Faith…an intimate look at how Bush's spiritual life has impacted his presidency, the nation, and the world.

How can i deploy a struts2 web application in tomcat? I want to avoid eclipse from deploying enviorment. How should I arrange the files in project folder?
I downloaded 'Struts2' from Apache struts site, but I don't know how to use them.
My project was created with Eclipse IDE and i am using MySql database and Tomcat server. It can be successfully deployed from that environment. I don't want to use Eclipse IDE in my deployment.
Is there any change in arrangement of files needed when I place my project in
webapps->root folder of tomcat.
If so, please give me the order required.
I downloaded some examples from Apache site and they run if I deploy them from eclipse, but when I place them in tomcat root folder and run, it shows struts2 tags not found..
