Vijay & Smita
(27 May 2008)
Vijay: Yes, we met through Shaadi.com (and we both are thankful for that) but a means was all that this site was...for marriages are made in heaven and after meeting Smita that belief has just got reinforced all the more. For me the initiative was taken by me?& started looking for prospective matches on this site beginning January 2007. I search through the profiles and send first Initiative purposal to the most relevant. We came across some good profiles and it was helpful to interact with different people and understand what each was looking for. It even helped me clarify ideas as to what was most important for me?but even though this went on for few months, I couldn't get close to finding the 'one' we all hope to find one day! And then came Smita. Oct 13th, 2007 was my first email to her after she had sent her details - Few more emails, online conversations and phone calls and there wasn't a doubt left that if there was someone at all anywhere...here she was! By 20th Oct I had conveyed as much to her, and we both agreed upon our first meeting - Jan 20th, 2008 in Mumbai. The meeting with her family too went well and another one between the two parents was arranged soon after... That is how it happened in short?but our courtship continued through phone calls and Internet (the way it started) and lasted almost 3 months till 9th March, 2008 - the date we got married and I got to bring back with me my best friend and closest confidant for life. Our love has just grown stronger since then! Once again, even though knowing Smita I have no doubt that she is God's special blessing for me, and this alliance was decided and arranged by the Almighty Himself, I will still like to thank Shaadi.com in the role they have played as the being the facilitators for this match! Smita: I had registered on Shaadi.com out of curiosity, which with passing days, weeks and months gained seriousness in finding my life partner. I had been on the site for nearly 3 Months, and with no luck so far had almost given up hope of finding my Mr. Right through this medium. My frequency of keeping the profile hidden increased significantly, and accesses to the account dropped sharply? which led to receiving a number of reminders from Shaadi.com about being more active on the portal. After receiving one such reminder, I decided to close my account - the day was 19 Oct 2007. Even though I had made up my mind, my sister suggested that it may be a good idea to check the profiles one last time? open interesting ones and give it one final shot. After passing through a few pages, we came across an interest that had been sent on 17 Oct 2007. One thing that got my attention was that it had come from the parent. Though I had my doubts that things would work out here due to certain reasons (his being Banker etc), something within told me to go ahead? and I sent the acceptance with my email address. The next morning I was surprised to receive a mail from him. No sooner had I replied with my phone numbers and yahoo id than we happened to meet online on Jan 20th. A phone call followed the same evening, and as I was listening to this sweet boyish voice from the other end? an instant easiness came into me that left no room for discomfort. The conversation flowed smoothly and two hours later when I kept the phone down, I already had a soft corner for this gentle man. I still wasn?t sure whether it would go all the way, but was at least certain that I had come across an excellent human being in all respects. If things went well it would be great, otherwise I would still consider myself lucky for having found a new friend in him. The online conversations and phone calls went on for next few days, and soon it was apparent that we both wanted to take it to the next level & then next.. next... next... We have had some tough times in our lives since then, but then?during these most difficult times is when we have realized how much we love each other and how empty life is with out each other. Today, I feel proud to be his wife? we both believe that Everything Happens for a Reason? and for me the reason is my husband Vijay! This wedding has now been stamped as a love marriage from all who know us? family, friends, relatives? and many singles in our circle have already signed up or are planning to sign up with Shaadi.com? with a hope of finding their mate? not just a life mate but a SOUL MATE !! Thank you very much Shaadi.com for being His medium in bringing us together!! Wedding DATE : 9th Mar, 2008 Vijay & Dr. Smita
Wedding DATE :
9th Mar, 2008
Vijay & Smita
Shaadi.com Team congratulates Vijay & Smita. We wish you both a happy future.

Lewis Hamilton is on a roll, having notched up his fourth consecutive win of the season, at today's Spanish Grand Prix. The victory is his 26th Formula 1 career win, but his first in Barcelona. The new 2014 F1 world championship leader spoke of his race afternoon at Circuit de Catalunya.
What a great race, what a great finish, four race wins in a row…
Lewis Hamilton: A big thank you to my team, they've just done an incredible job this year. I'm really happy with the support that I've had here in Spain, it's the best I've ever had, so thank you to everyone in the grandstands, it means the world to me. My first win here in Spain, it means everything to me.
We heard you grumbling, or not quite happy with your team about the graining and also about the time loss in the pits. Tell me, were you upset?
LH: No, not for the pits. I wasn't fast enough really today; Nico was quicker. I struggled a lot with the balance and really had to rely on my engineers a lot more to give me the gaps and to try to find where I could find time. And also with all my settings, I was moving them up and down, up and down really trying to find extra time. But Nico was just generally quicker this weekend but fortunately I was able to keep him behind.
Are you surprised with the dominance, because a lot of people called into question your idea of coming to Mercedes maybe 18 months ago. Had you got this in the back of your mind that this was all the potential that was being told to you?
LH: Yeah, sitting down with Ross at my mum's house at the kitchen table, yeah this is the idea that I was given. I really, truly believed it was going to happen, but I could never have imagined us to have a 50-second gap to Red Bull in a race. So it's just an exceptional job from the team and I feel truly blessed to firstly be a part of this team, to be contributing, getting the results. This is our fourth 1-2 together, it's just unreal.
Four wins in a row, fourth Mercedes 1-2 in a row, which is fairly hard to achieve. First win for you in Spain and you're leading the Driver's World Championship for the first time since, I think, 2012. Which of those things means the most to you?
LH: Of course getting my first grand prix win here after trying for eight years. It's very difficult to really put into words the feeling when you come to a race and have a result like this. Never have I had a car like this and obviously we've never had a gap like this to anyone before. Nico did a fantastic job today, it was a struggle to keep him behind, but I'm grateful that I was able to. I just feel that it is such a huge blessing, for not only me but for all the guys in the team, because of all the hard work they've done for many years now, but finally they are starting to see the fruits of their labour. So, for me, yeah, just enjoying every moment, every step of the way. And it's really great today we have our board members, our bosses from Mercedes, so it was really good to…every time Dr Zetsche came last year, we generally had a bad race, so it was really important to get a good result for him to get rid of that negative bug, or bad luck that I guess he thought he was bringing, so I'm really grateful for the team being able to do that today.
Just looking ahead to the next couple of races that are coming up, Monaco is a track that's been strong in the past for both of you and strong in the past for Mercedes, and then we go on to Montreal which has always been one of Lewis' favourites. How do you go there, Nico? And your thoughts, both of you, on those two upcoming races.
LH: I think I have a bit of work to do in the next couple of weeks but of course I love those two races. Struggled last year in Monaco and struggled with this race, so need to figure out where I'm losing the time and apply it to the next race.
Your first win here in Spain. Makes it 26, one more than Jim Clark and one more than Niki Lauda, one of the big guys on your team – are you planning any jokes on him tonight and how many victories can you make it this year?
LH: At the rate the team's going, we're looking strong for at least a few more races. It's by no means easy for me because I've still got a massive challenge with Nico. But, I mean, I could never had imagined winning these four races but it's still so close, long, long way to go and, just as I was saying earlier, I've got a bit more time to find in this car, so going to work on it.
In the race, did you experience similar problems to those you had yesterday and how did you try to dial them out? There was a lot of conversation between you and the engineers.
LH: I did have the same problems as I had yesterday, yes. It was very strange because Friday P2 was excellent. The car was really good, [but] degradation…I mean I was very very fast and I stopped my run with 18 laps or something like that, but if I just brought my pace down a little bit I probably could have eked it out even longer. Those changes just transformed the car and today, just not able to attack the corners due to snap oversteer, and that's generally where Nico was catching me, through those entries of corners.
Mercedes have won every race this year. What secret did you find and where?
LH: I haven't found any secrets but I think Mercedes – there is no secret really, it's just been hard work and really constructive work. Often when you're working towards something, sometimes you stumble and fall and then you have to build it again and the team has just been building and building, building and not really having many times when they're falling. It's quite remarkable, the actual car itself, the downforce is very good, I'm sure very very close with the Red Bulls and then with the engine, it's the best engine Mercedes have made.
At the end of the 2012 season when you announced that you would switch to Mercedes, there were some really harsh criticisms against you, stating that you are destroying your career without the guidance of your Dad. Now that you're winning and leading the championship and have the very best car of the whole pack, is it important for you that you could really prove that you can make good decisions on your own?
LH: Yeah, for sure, it was obviously a great call and there was never a moment that I ever doubted it but of course never could have imagined that we would be having this kind of success. I'm not one to rub it in people's faces. I knew that I was in a good place, I knew that I was making the right decision for me and now it should be becoming more evident to people…I'm sure the people that wrote those things had an opinion at the beginning and I'm sure it's changed now.
You and Nico seem to get along pretty well right now but the problem is that just one of you can win if it keeps going this way. Do you believe that your relationship is going to be the same by the end of the year?
LH: We've been racing together for a long time so I don't see why not.
You've said quite a few times this year about how perfect this car is, how well suited it feels. Could you explain just a little bit about how you've guided the development of it so that it suits your style?
LH: It's a lengthy process. Obviously last year…when you request something to be changed, it takes some time because obviously you don't want to take away their focus from the most important things which is getting downforce. I think it's just taken some time. I think Michael required a little bit of a…he had a different driving style to me. He required different things, different seating position, different set-up and as I've come along, I've really tried to…and I guess Nico probably and Michael both kind of gelled and went in one direction with the balance and then as I've come along, mine is slightly different and I guess we've then created a hybrid: Nico's come halfway, I've come halfway so we now require the same things from the car, but last year it was maybe a little bit different and so over the time just really, for the engineers to get to know what I require from a car and I think really working on being comfortable with the engineers as well, new engineers, it takes a while to build those relationships and that's probably been a key strength to this year.

BIOGRAPHYRough trajectory: Cornell ECE, BS -> SUNY Downstate research Engineer -> Duke Neurobiology, Ph.D. -> UCSF research engineer.
I grew up in NY, spent nearly 8 years in North Carolina, and now call California home!
Flexible Electrodes and Insertion Machine for Stable, Minimally-Invasive Neural Recording [BPN731]Current approaches to interfacing with the nervous system mainly rely on stiff electrode materials, which work remarkably well, but suffer degradation from chronic immune response due to mechanical impedance mismatch and blood-brain barrier disruption. This current technology also poses limits on recording depth, spacing, and location. In this project we aim to ameliorate these issues by developing a system of very fine and flexible electrodes for recording from nervous tissue, a robotic system for manipulating and implanting these electrodes, and a means for integrating electrodes with neural processing chips. We have fabricated five versions of the electrodes, and have demonstrated their manual and automated insertion into an agarose tissue proxy and ex-vivo brain using a etched tungsten needle. We have also fabricated and tested in agarose three revisions of the inserter robot. The most recent inserter robot design uses a replaceable electrode cartridge to which electrodes are mounted; these electrodes are made on a 5um thick polyimide substrate with a parylene peel-away backing. The parylene backing holds the fine wires and keeps them from tangling until they are inserted, and provides a more robust means of handling and mounting the structures. Simultaneously, we have been developing a machine for laser and resistance micro-welding the insertion needle, and have completed several promising test needles. We hope to test the full system in rats within a month.

Music profile: Javed Ali
Slow and Steady
The name Javed Ali does not yet evoke rapturous responses from music fans but mention the song Ek din teri raahon mein from Naqaab, and they will perk up immediately. Playback singer Javed Ali, the voice behind the song, has been working in Bollywood for nearly a decade, finally finds fame knocking at his door.
Bollywood is a place where instant gratification rules. Everyone wants fame and money - now. Playback singer Javed Ali is a class apart from the usual industry types. His rise to fame has been slow and steady. He doesn't regret it at all. What he wants is to be known as a good singer. He is not in the least bit bitter that although he played a part in the song 'Kajraa re' (Bunty Aur Babli), he was overshadowed by Shankar Mahadevan and Alisha Chinai. He admits that he got noticed only in songs where he had to 'stand in' for the final singer and dub his lines. Even in Naqaab, the original choice was Zubeen Garg. It is perhaps this very attitude that will help him carve a niche in the long run.
Javed Ali's father Hamid Husain, is a renowned Qawwali, Gurbani and Kirtan singer. He was Javed's first teacher. Later, the young man learnt music from Mallu Khan and Majid Khan as well. He says that although classical training helps, a playback singer has to be extremely versatile in order to survive in Hindi films. Javed Ali also impressed Kalyanji (of the famous Kalyanji-Anandji duo)so much that the veteran music man even suggested to Javed's father that he, Kalyanji, would foot all his educational expenses if he remained in Mumbai. However, Javed went back home to Delhi, honed his singing skills and came back to Mumbai in 1999.
The path to becoming a playback singer was carved by Kalyanji since initially, Javed only wanted to be a ghazal singer. However, when Kalyanji asked him why he did not want to sing in films, Javed thought it was a good idea and started working on becoming one. It wasn't difficult since he was already a trained classical singer. He sang his first song, a duet with Anuradha Paudwal, in Viju Shah's (Kalyanji's son) Beti No. 1. However, the film did not do well and he sang 'A ding-dang-do' in Paagalpan along with Udit Narayan, Sunidhi Chauhan, Harvard and Vicky. It was no surprise that he was never noticed.
His breakthrough came with 'Ab ghar aaja' in Haasil in which he sang his first solo. He dubbed the song for Jatin-Lalit but director Tigmanshu Dhulia liked his voice so much that Javed's voice was retained. He reasons that although the classical tag might have been a reason for the slow and steady rise in his career, he was never without work. The songs kept coming in ranging from 'Chhalka chhalka' (Aankhen) to 'Bheegi hui koi shaam hai' (Chameli). Recently he has sung in My Friend Ganesha and worked with A.R. Rahman in some regional films as well.
He is all praise for Pritam, his music director in Naqaab. He is grateful for all that the industry has given him and says that he got plenty of work to do remix along with working in TV serials. He has no qualms singing songs of any genre although he trained in classical music. He knows that in order to survive in the film industry, he needs to be versatile, talented and persevering. Javed Ali is well on his way to claiming his own spot in the spotlight.

This week Victor Plotnikov, a former star with the Boston Ballet, originally from the Republic of Georgia, has been working with the company coaching Don Quixote. It's been an intense week and he's focused particularly on the opening scene of Act III which is set in a Spanish taverna. There is a very complicated flamenco-inspired dance for the men, dancing to the sound of the company clapping some very complex rhythms while Aurora Dickie, in a tough-girl role, stomps out the beat with a pole (all while straddling a café chair). Rehearsals have seemed a little silly as the real props haven't arrived yet, so she's been using a hobby horse from The Nutcracker instead. Hopefully the real props with show up soon—Nutcracker iconography will show up soon enough.

I would like to know is the WSO2 ESB Version 4.5.1 installation out of the box production ready in terms of configuration, If no, can someone give me some hints, would like to know what to turn off in a production environment.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Stack Overflow is a question and answer site for professional and enthusiast programmers. It's 100% free.
All the WSO2 products are production compatible out-of-the-box in general. But if you are using with distributed setup you may need to setup server in clusters with backend-frontend separation. And also you may need to use WSO2 Elastic Load Balancer. And the default embedded H2 database will not be efficient and you may need to change to MySQL.
Anyway if you are using a small setup in production all of them may not needed.

CFX.mkII Series Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How do I get signal out of the Main Outputs?
A: Unlike some other Mackie mixers, the CFX.mkII mixers do not automatically pass signal from the channels to the main outputs. There are also no L-R assign buttons on the channels to assign them directly to the main Left/Right bus. Therefore, you must send channels to the Subgroups and then route the Subgroups to the Main Outs. The most straightforward way to achieve this is to press the 1-2 assign buttons on all of the channels; these buttons are located next to each of the channel faders. This sends all of the channels to the first pair of Subgroups. Now bring up the first two Subgroup faders to the unity position. These are the blue faders below the effects section. Above Subgroup 1, press the Left button, and above Subgroup 2, press the Right button. This sends the Subgroups to the Main bus. By bringing up the main fader you will now hear sound from your Main Outputs. Leave the Subgroup section as it is and control the channel volume and pan from the channels themselves. If you want to do more elaborate subgroup routing, remember the following: pan the signal between Subgroups 1 and 2 and Subgroups 3 and 4 just as you would pan between the Left and the Right, and assign the Subgroups to the Main Outs with the Left and Right buttons above the Subgroup faders. The Subgroups can be used as four mono groups (Left and Right assign button pressed for each Subgroup), two stereo pairs (Left assign button pressed for Subgroups 1 and 3, and Right assign button pressed for Subgroups 2 and 4), or as two mono groups and one stereo pair.
Q: Why are my meters only working on the left side?
A: Most likely a PFL Solo button is engaged on one of the channels; the Rude Solo Light will be blinking if a Solo button is pressed. Also, the PFL Solo is a mono signal; we show this by displaying it on only the left side of the meters. Check all of your channel Solo buttons and be sure they are all disengaged. Now you should see signal on both sides of the meters and the Rude Solo Light will no longer be blinking. These two visual cues quickly remind you that you have a channel Soloed.
Q: How do I hook up stage monitors?
A: The best way to connect stage monitors to the CFX.mkII mixer is to use the Aux Sends. These allow you to create up two independent mixes for your monitors. Connect Aux Send 1 to the inputs of your monitor amps and connect the amps to the speakers. On each channel is a button labeled Pre; this should be pressed to make the Aux Sends pre-fader for that channel. This means that any fader changes you make to the channels, will not affect the monitor mixes. On each channel turn up the Aux 1 knob to send that channel to the first monitor mix. This allows you to dial in a mix just as you would with the channel faders. The Master Aux Send 1 knob controls the master volume of the stage monitor. If it is all the way down, you will not here anything from the monitor. Repeat the process with Aux Send 2 to set up your second monitor mix if necessary.
Q: Can I use multiple internal effects at the same time?
A: No. The internal effects processor allows you to choose one global effect for the entire mixer. You can then choose the amount of signal sent from any given channel to the EMAC processor. This is achieved by turning up the EFX 2 knob on the channel you would like to hear more effects on. This allows you to add a different amount of the effect to each input.
Q: How do I get the internal effects to my stage monitors?
A: By connecting your monitor amplifiers to the Aux Sends, it is possible to route the internal effects to hear them in the monitors. Set the controls in the effects section so you hear the desired effect in the Mains. There are two knobs in the effects section labeled Effects To Monitor, Aux 1 and Aux 2. Turn these up to send the effects to each Aux Send. This allows you to control the amount of effects going to the Mains and Auxes separately.
Q: How do I hook up an EQ/Compressor on my main mix?
A: The best place to connect an EQ or Compressor for your main speakers is at the Main Insert jacks. This requires the use of an Insert Y Cable, also called a Send/Return Y Cable. One end of the Y cable is a single Tip Ring Sleeve (TRS) 1/4" jack and the other ends are two Tip Sleeve (TS) 1/4" jacks; commonly, one will be labeled Tip (or Send) and the other will be labeled Ring (or Return). You will need two of these Y cables for stereo operation with a stereo processor. Plug the TRS end of one insert Y cable into the Left Main Insert. Connect the end labeled Tip into the left input of your processor and the end labeled Ring into the left output of your processor. Do the same with the second Y cable for the Right Main Insert. The Main Inserts tap the signal just before the master fader so the signal will travel from the mixer to the processor and back to the mixer before it reaches the main fader. This setup allows the processor to always see a full strength signal regardless of how you change your master fader, giving you much better operation, especially if you are using a compressor. Another advantage of this method is that if you have a problem with your processor in the middle of a performance, you can quickly remove it from the insert jacks and continue the show. You can use this same method to insert a device on a mono channel by using the Channel Insert jacks.

While I can appreciate the skill and care put into these new cat form models, I'm not entirely feeling it, at least not yet. I just can't imagine my druid looking like that! Fortunately, it doesn't seem as if the talent is really relevant to my personal playstyle -- Lunar Inspiration seems more my speed -- but I can see how it may be very important for PvP'ers in particular. What about you? Are you going to grab Claws of Shirvallah at level 100? Is the model part of the reason why or why not?

Webster Schroeder's Alexa Antetomaso carries a 95 average. She hopes to become a nurse. She is one of a handful of area students selected for the New Visions Program. Every morning, her classroom is the hospital where she gets real life experience and college credit.
Antetomaso said, "We rotate through pharmacy, nursing, PT, OT. We get a mentor and hands on experience."
Alexa is also class treasurer and is in chorus. Her natural energy is obvious.
Antetomaso said, "Crazy, upbeat, always want to win. I love my teams. They are awesome."
She has three teams, along with club soccer. Alexa has been on varsity soccer and basketball for four years. She is captain and has also played lacrosse for three years.
Antetomaso said, "I love to play three sports. You interact with new friends, different coaches, it is all on how I can better and improve."
But soccer has been her passion since the age of four. Her skills and grades have earned her the opportunity to play for Notre Dame.
Antetomaso said, "I feel like I want to pince myself like I'm in a dream. I never thought I would be playing for the Fighting Irish, I'm speechless."
It also leaves her humble. Her grandfather, John, a Notre Dame alum, who served as a bodyguard for Lou Holtz, died two years ago and didn't get to see his granddaughter reach her dream.
Antetomaso said, "The first thing I did after I was accepted was go to his grave and put down balloons, I told him first."

How U.K. Fared With Salt RestrictionsJanuary 12, 2010 - 11:18 AM | by: Amy Kellogg
The U.K. began its salt reduction program in 2004, spearheaded and overseen by the Food Standards Agency. The agency estimates that, as a result of the program, the average daily salt consumption is down from .33 ounces of salt per person per day, to .30 per day. It might not sound like much, but the Food Standards people estimate that 6000 unnecessary deaths are being prevented each year because Brits are eating less salt.
Alette Addison, Head of the Salt Reduction Branch at the Food Standards Agency in London said they originally faced a bit of resistance. But though some people grumble about the "Nanny State", most people find there is not much of an argument about reducing salt intake. "As we move forward it's far, far more positive maybe than when we started. And that's a message I would give to New York City, you know, it's great to see you start…you can do something…you can reduce intakes…but it will take work."
The UK's salt reduction is voluntary, with manufacturers cutting the salt they put into things like bread, potato chips and cereal. The Food Standards Agency says 75% of our salt intake is actually from pre-packaged foods, not from our liberal use of the table top salt shaker! Bread makes up 20% of British salt consumption. It's not that bread is that salty of course—but it does contain salt—and it is something we tend to consume a lot of. Here in the UK, the salt content of sliced bread is down 35% thanks to the program. In cereals it is down 43%.
I asked if people complain about food tasting bland, with less salt in it.
Addison said by taking away a bit of salt, you get something else!
"In fact, people have also seen that the other flavors start to come out. If you eat a pizza that's got less salt in it you may taste more herbs and more tomato…so you just get the other flavors coming through instead."
Addison said palettes adjust quickly. She said despite the fact that great strides have been made, ultimate targets have not yet been met. The Food Standards Agency would like to see daily consumption of salt down to .21 ounces a day, which is about a teaspoon. (average consumption is currently .31 per person per day). And Addison claims, you only need .14 ounces per day to get what you need out of salt.
The British Food Standards Agency is really interested in seeing New York get its salt reduction program up and running. Because what happens in the United States impacts upon Great Britain. After all, the UK imports a lot of pre-packaged food from America. So it can cut back all it likes, but if some of its food suppliers around the world are paying little heed to salt content, it won't make the progress it wants to.

Arguably Gordon Lish's masterpiece, Peru begins with its narrator announcing, There is nothing which I will not tell you if I can think of it. Gradually, the story of a dark childhood secret-real or imagined-unfolds: in 1940, six-year-old Gordon murdered his harelipped rival, Steven Adinoff, in a Long Island sandbox . . . (unless he didn't). Peru's narrator weaves together strands of disconnected, mesmerizing trivia, resurrecting memories of the mundane suburban childhood that spawned a killing: the sense of tedium on an endless summer day; the squishy sounds of a hoe digging into flesh. Ambiguous, complex, inventive, and subversively comic, Peru is a compendium of unnerving observations about memory, violence, obsession, and the potential horror behind the facade of an ordinary life.

Is GW's women's only swim for Muslim students legal?
- The legality of women swimming alone (Photo: Associated Press)
Last month, the George Washington University announced its new women-only swim hour, a weekly "Sister Splash" meant to accommodate Muslim women on campus who feel that swimming in the presence of men conflicts with their religious beliefs. In Sister Splash's wake, we entertained the opinions of students on campus: Those who have the chance to swim at college for the first time; those who find the event an idiotic and sexist act of politically correct nonsense that represents the dangerous "Islamization of America"; and those who don't really care if they can't access the exercise pool one hour a week.
Now, we turn to the legal perspective. Four takes on the legality of the "Sisters swim," below:
THE CHURCH AND STATE PERSPECTIVE: Inside Higher Ed quotes Americans United for Separation of Church and State legal director Ayesha N. Kham on the issue:
Because George Washington is a private university, there are no constitutional issues with the swim hour, said Ayesha N. Khan, legal director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. Should a similar program start up at a public university, the presence of church-state issues would depend on the many facts of the situation, such as whether access is religion-specific, Khan said.
THE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY PERSPECTIVE John L. Esposito, founding director of Georgetown University's Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding, offers his take:
Esposito cited numerous other ways institutions serve different groups: parking for people with disabilities, campus chapels for various religions, and excusing attendance for students celebrating religious holidays other than the traditionally recognized Christmas or Easter. "If there's a segment of the community that can benefit from an accommodation, you make it when you can," he said. "The fact is, they have rights and you have to accept it."
THE TITLE IX PERSPECTIVE: Western New England College associate professor Erin E. Buzuvis contributes:
[Buzuvis] said it's unclear whether barring men from the pool constitutes a violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, the law requiring gender equity in educational programs at federally funded schools and colleges. Men can still swim 95 percent of the time, so they're not completely excluded. And if the program's purpose is to accommodate a religious group, rather than women in general, that could work in the university's favor.
"The university might have a plausible defense that while this would technically be a form of gender discrimination, that they're doing it to accommodate a student's religion," Buzuvis said. "If that weren't an issue, I would say a female-only swim hour would be highly questionable under Title IX."
THE MALE PERSPECTIVE: The Washington Post consulted GW law professor Ira Lupu on the battling issues of gender and religious discrimination at play in the swim hour:
I asked him if Muslim women could argue religious discrimination if they couldn't use the pool because of men, or if male students could argue they were losing out? He seemed to think the latter camp had a better argument due to Title IX's ban on sexual discrimination in educational programs that get federal money.
"If I was in the [university's] office of general counsel, I'd say make it the same for men as women," said Lupu.
The focus on what some critics call "creeping sharia" (the term implies a subtle encroachment of orthodox Islam onto American freedoms) comes at an interesting time. Conservative religious groups - mostly evangelicals, but also Jews and Catholics - have just spent the past few decades pouring money into legal cases establishing access for religious groups to public spaces; cases have focused on everything from Bible groups' right to advertise and meet on public school property after-hours to religious holiday displays on public land.
"When you push for equal access, it really means that. Not just for your own folks," Lupu said. "So here we go."

What do you get when communications technology, creative individuals, the Avon Foundation for Women and the Institute of Medicine (IOM) join together to help prevent domestic violence? How about the "Ending Violence @ Home App Challenge," a program to create apps that drive awareness and prevention of domestic abuse – truly, a way to leverage emerging technology to tackle a longstanding problem.
The program grew out of a workshop convened by IOM's Forum on Global Violence Prevention, at which participants discussed how traditional and new media can be harnessed to prevent domestic abuse. Funding came from the Avon Foundation for Women, which awards grants to build awareness, education, prevention and direct service programs to end domestic and gender violence. In February 2012, the "Ending Violence @ Home App Challenge" was announced at the 2nd World Conference of Women's Shelters in Washington, DC, and with communications including a celebrity video message. The Avon Foundation and IOM invited individuals in domestic violence prevention and communications technologies to combine skills and develop apps to drive awareness and prevent domestic abuse.
The program drew 19 creative submissions from nine countries, and the winners were chosen based upon five criteria: innovation, design, potential impact, how well they integrate evidence-based information, and their usability in different settings. Here is a bit about each of the four top entries:
The top prize went to the developers of Çocuktan Al Haberi, or Wisdom of the Children, a website in Turkey that encourages people, especially parents and children, to create positive new expressions from old sayings that condone violence. Using a "Mad Libs" format of replacing selected words, Çocuktan Al Haberi can, for example, change "don't spare a baby from your wife's belly and rod from her back" into "don't spare soup from a women's belly and sunscreen from her back." Participants upload new sayings and site visitors vote on their favorites. The site also directs people to resources for victims of violence.
Second place was awarded to the team that created Circle of 6, a mobile app and Facebook pledge designed to prevent dating violence on university campuses. The Circle of 6 app enables users to quickly call six people from their contact lists for aid to prevent violence before it occurs, and the app also comes with preprogrammed hotline numbers and accommodates local helpline information.
The third prize went to the creators of R3, an app that helps health care providers recognize, respond, and refer victims of domestic abuse. Only 10% of physicians regularly screen for domestic violence in part because they lack an evidence-based screening tool and knowledge of how to respond. The R3 app provides a set of four questions that have been shown to effectively identify victims of abuse, an automatic scoring function, links to recommendations on appropriate action based on a patient's score, and a resource locator.
The fourth prize went to HealtheSAVE, which helps health care providers better recognize and communicate with patients who have experienced violence, and refer them to appropriate services. The program includes a website that will be tied to social media platforms, a mobile app, educational tools and resources, with a focus on applicability to international users.
The results show that the issue of domestic violence and the passion to solve the problem are without boundaries, and that unusual partnerships can be key to success. As the line in a movie once said, if you build it, they will come. In this case, if you ask for solutions, they will be found—sometimes in unexpected places.

COLUMBIA The State Board of Education has disciplined 18 South Carolina teachers in the past two years for sexual offenses against students.
The State of Columbia reports (http://bit.ly/ZXMa30) that the latest teacher disciplined is Kinsley Wentzky, a Dreher High School teacher who had her teaching certificate suspended last week after she was charged with two counts of sexual battery with a student.
Education officials entered Wentzky's name into a national database of suspended teachers.
Wentzky's lawyer says he didn't know his client's license was suspended and wouldnt talk about the case.
The State Board of Education has reprimanded or suspended or revoked the licenses of 143 teachers in South Carolina since the beginning of 2011 for problems ranging from coming to school drunk to defaulting on loans for teacher certification exams.

: This sophisticated "Right Bank"-styled Bordeaux blend debuted in the 2004 vintage as a complement to De Toren's legendary "Left Bank"-styled Fusion V. A higher proportion of Merlot makes this delicious red softer and more approachable in its youth than its blockbuster sibling. It delivers intense aromas and flavors of plum, dark berries, and spicebox with classic notes of tobacco, graphite, and leather.
Critical Acclaim
Wine Enthusiast - "Cocoa-dusted black cherry and berry aromas hit you first in the bouquet, followed by soft notes of black tea, violets and licorice shortly after. Full and rich in the mouth, the fruit is intense and juicy, framed by a lush but firm structure and balanced acidity hinting at the life that this wine still has to come. Long finish with a peppery back note."
International Wine Cellar - "Good deep red with ruby tones. Sexy aromas of blackberry, spices and violet. Suave, sweet and deep, with lovely integrated acidity contributing to the wine's seamless texture. Offers considerable early appeal but has the structure for aging too, finishing with savory, firm-edged tannins. Very much in a Right Bank style, unusual for a Bordeaux blend in South Africa."
Wine Spectator - "Ripe and focused, displaying delightful plum and blackberry notes laced with hints of herb and dark licorice. The supple, lengthy finish relies on acidity more than toast or muscle. Well put together. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now."

De Toren Winery
De Toren proprietors Emil and Sonette den Dulk left Johannesburg in 1991 to establish their vineyards in the Polkadraai Hills of Stellenbosch. Situated on southern facing slopes overlooking False Bay, De Toren enjoys the cooling effect of constant ocean breezes. Taking a holistic approach to keeping vineyard soils healthy and balanced, viticulturalist Ernest Manuel employs sustainable farming practices throughout the property. Infrared Aerial Imaging is used extensively in order to monitor ripeness in various vineyard blocks and determine optimal picking times, although actual harvesting and production are done almost entirely by hand.
The winery is operated on gravity flow principles; a 4000 liter pressure tank in an elevator shaft (the "Tower" from which the winery takes its name) is cleverly used to exploit gravity in transporting wine between tanks and barrels without the use of mechanical pumps. As a result of De Toren's innovative, minimal intervention production methods, their wines were among the first South African bottlings to qualify for IP (Integrated Production) certification by the Wine and Spirit Board.
The Den Dulks and winemaker Albie Koch seem to have found the key to success with their simple winemaking philosophy: gentle handling, no pumps, and minimum manipulation. Armed with this winning formula, the boutique farm has quickly risen to the ranks of South Africa's winemaking elite with their duo of dazzling, stylish and complex five-varietal Bordeaux blends: the flagship Fusion V (which debuted in the 1999 vintage and has been hailed by Wine Spectator as "a consistently polished, outstanding Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend") and the Merlot-based "Z," introduced with the 2004 vintage.

A long history of growing grapes and making wine, but less of a history on exporting it, and even lesser on the quality aspect. At the turn of the century (1900, that is), a surplus of wine in South Africa created a hierarchy of cooperatives, the biggest and best known being KWV. This organization seemed to favor quantity over quality and had most control over wines and vineyards until the late 1980's. Now, with a bit more competition, quality is coming around. Yet, South African wine was not even seen in American wine stores until the mid-1990's – the trade embargo on the country for their racial apartheid laws kept South African wine out of the US. When apartheid fell, so did the embargo, and SA bottles began showing up on US shelves.
Notable Facts
White wine has always been the cash crop of South Africa, with much of it distilled to make brandy. More white than red is planted, much of it the Steen variety – known elsewhere in the world as Chenin Blanc. Good producers are making top quality dry wines from this grape. Another grape gaining some raves is Sauvignon Blanc, producing whites that are dry and crisp, yet rounder than many of its Southern Hemisphere counterparts. For reds, the top grapes are Syrah/Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon (& blends) and Pinotage. Cabernet Sauvignon and Bordeaux blends was once the favorite and most-produced, but Shiraz is taking over as wineries crank out high quality wines from the variety. Pinotage, which used to be a grape only your mother could love, has improved dramatically and is often as delicious as it is distinctive. The most popular regions of the country include Stellenbosch and Paarl.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Thursday night's 6-5 Canuck loss versus the Nashville Predators was jam-packed with oddities. There was the offensive outburst, as the two teams combined for 11 goals, only three fewer than their entire season series last year. There was the goalie no-show, as Cory Schneider's hot streak came to a screeching halt with 3 goals on 5 shots and Roberto Luongo only fared marginally better. And, of course, there was that strange little moment when Ryan Kesler scaled the net.
Of course, it made some sense in the moment. Kesler wound up perched above the crossbar as the result of a power move he made to the goal, which, had he not thought on his feet and jumped the net like a cow hurdling the moon, might have resulted in a collision with Anders Lindback. Then, in order to get back down without stepping down on Lindback, Kesler had to swivel around and drop down behind the net. It's all very reasonable.
Except that it looked completely ridiculous. Kesler less resembles a hockey player here than a bank robber being thwarted by Spiderman or a gymnast working the pommel horse. Reader Jake was kind enough to bless us with a photoshop of the latter.
It's been said that Kesler has all sorts of core strength, and we can see it at work here. Just offscreen, Sofia Coppola and the girl in the black leotard are staring daggers at her, like in that classic Chemical Brothers video.
And finally, reader @zombotron points out that Kesler has a history of winding up strangely sprawled, so we shouldn't be all that surprised by shenanigans of this sort.
Tags: featured, I Find this Photo Odd, Kesler, photoshop, We have awesome readers
Funny articles, spot on. Was a great relief to see someone writing intelligently about the goaltenders lately, so was a bit confused to see your comments above – why do you write Luongo was marginally better, when you mean twice as good, or 40% better — quite a margin!

Police Take Bite Out of Dogfighting RingAugust 20, 2009 - 5:30 PM | by: David Lewkowict
A man in Box Springs, GA was arrested by authorities alleging he ran a dog fighting ring involving as many as 29 pit bulls.
Antonio Monds was charged with cruelty to animals and dogfighting. The 32 year old was arrested near a wooded area where he allegedly kept the dogs staked to the ground with three foot logging chains around their necks.
Twenty Nine dogs, ranging from puppies to fully grown pit bulls, were seized. The Atlanta Humane Societyand the Georgia Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals were both on scene to rescue the dogs. The animals have been taken to a facility in Columbus, GA where they will remain until they can be adopted.
Phil Gallacher, who works for a nearby private security firm, told the local paper, "several dogs had scars on their faces."
Norred & Associates, where Gallacher works, received a tip regarding the pit bulls and contacted authorities. Gallacher says the investigation had been going on, "for about four months."
Gallacher said, "water was solely supplied by rainwater."

Schneider (DJDM/WENN.com)
We already know Chord Overstreet is returning to Glee as Sam and now it seems we'll get to meet his father. Per TVLine, John Schneider has been tapped to play Sam's dad, whose employment situation, as we learned in the first episode of season 3, forced Sam to transfer out of McKinley High. He is only set to appear in one episode so far, which will be Chord's first episode back.
Perhaps best known for his role as Bo Duke on the "The Dukes of Hazard," Schneider has, among other things, also starred as Jonathan Kent on "Smallville" and porn king Ram Peters on Ryan Murphy's "Nip/Tuck." Are you looking forward to John's "Glee" debut?

A year after her sons stopped wrestling, Mary Lukacs went to the traditional state wrestling tournament and felt out of place.She had watched her boys, Nick and Jared, grow up through the Collins Hill program, with Nick winning three state titles for the Eagles. But with both no longer in the sport it was different returning to the state meet. "I felt sort of unattached and lost," Lukacs said. "I'm the kind of person I can't just go and sit and watch. I've got to be involved doing stuff because I just get too nervous watching." So Lukacs contacted Bud Hennebaul, vice president of the Atlanta Takedown Association and tournament director of the state meet, and asked if she could volunteer. She's now in her fourth year helping at the state tournament, working at the head table entering results. Lukacs' story is a familiar one for many of the adult volunteers at the state tournament, held this weekend at the Arena at Gwinnett Center. It takes 170 volunteers to help run the three-day tournament, the largest high school tournament in the country in terms of participants. And many of the adult volunteers take time off from their regular jobs to pitch in. However, a majority of the volunteers are high school students working the score tables at each mat and doing much of the manual labor. The mats were laid out and set up Thursday morning by the Loganville and Dacula teams. There are many jobs to be done. Some students fill coolers throughout the day for the wrestlers, and after each round the 12 mats are cleaned. There are volunteers who help at the pass gate, with weigh-ins and by selling programs. Marianne Hennebaul runs the hospitality room for table workers and referees and Carol Galloway manages the brackets for state champions and updates the brackets in the lobby. The tournament is overseen by Atlanta Takedown Association president Gary Shaefer along with Walt and Bud Hennebaul. They supervise a group that does tasks both big and small. "There's a lot more involved that people don't have any clue about," said Jim West, who runs the head table. Some of those unsung helpers are Beverly Hennebaul, Terri Smith and Greg and Vicki Dickson who, like Lukacs, take time off from their full-time jobs to work 12- to 14-hour days at the tournament, entering results from each match. "It's a great sport and this a great group of people," Lukacs said. "It amazes me when you realize 90 percent of the people in this group have no kids actively wrestling." West, Ross Copeland, Bobby Robinett and Al Blashaw work the technical side at the head table, keeping the tournament running smoothly. Blashaw updates the brackets and team scores online so people can follow on the Internet. West is the bracket coordinator and oversees the head table, making sure matches start on time, getting bout sheets to the right person and talking to coaches if something is incorrect on a bout sheet. "It takes a lot of people to do this," said West, whose brother Steve was a longtime head coach at Shiloh and Grayson. "There's about 20 to 25 people that are really involved and give their time and efforts. It's not just one person by any stretch of the imagination." Copeland, whose son is a junior at Collins Hill, is a technical adviser for the computer software that is used with the brackets. If there's a problem with the bracket or an entry needs to be changed he can correct it. "It's a lot of fun to be that close to the action," Copeland said. "You see the commitment the wrestlers have, the families have. They travel so far to come see their kids wrestle and compete in the tournament and it's kind of neat to help them out." At one end of the Arena there's a wide screen with the bout number for each mat, letting wrestlers and fans know who is wrestling. That's where Robinett does his work. A wrestler at Central Gwinnett in the late 80s and an area champ in 1990, he keeps the mat assignments updated. Robinett loves wrestling and likes helping others enjoy the sport. It's why he, and the others, are happy to work the long hours needed to make the tournament a success. "We do it because we enjoy wrestling and we enjoy the kids," Robinett said. "Everyone has their own little part of the puzzle." SideBar: If you go What: Traditional state wrestling tournament When: Today-Saturday Where: Arena at Gwinnett Center Tickets: $10 Schedule: Today · 11:15 a.m. - quarterfinals · 7 p.m. - semifinals Saturday · 5 p.m. - Finals for all five classifications

Angry Frenchman Cafe offers hip lunch spot at Pendleton
ASHLAND -- Hidden within the Pendleton Art Center lies one of the hippest lunch spots in downtown Ashland. First opening last November, The Angry Frenchman Cafe is a sandwich shop serving an assortment of pita pockets, croissants sandwiches and deli sandwiches. Despite the "angry" name, the diner has a low-key atmosphere with colorful chairs and tie-dyed table cloths.
"The art center needed someone to do food service. After the coffee shop closed, we decided to put in a deli," said owner Paul Runnels. "We wanted something a bit more in the art realm than the coffee shops you find everywhere. We wanted something a little more pliable than a coffee shop, as coffee shops struggle in summer months." Runnels also owns the Chimney Corner Café in Ashland and will be helping the Blackhawk Grill in Barboursville overhaul its menu.
"We do a little bit of everything. We do a little bit of coffee, and we do sandwiches, salads, coffee, etc."
He said it's a "fun" menu.
"The name is Angry Frenchman because I'm part French, and most chefs seem to be kind of angry," Runnels said. "We have croissants and French baguettes. We also use a variety of French cheeses like Port-Salut, Gruyere and Boursin. They aren't rare or expensive, but they are great on sandwiches. We make chicken salad and tuna salad. We have also brought in some quality Butcher Block ham, turkey and roast beef. We also have a hamburger and a bahama mama sausage on the menu. There are also soups, salads, cookies and brownies on the menu."
One of the sandwiches is the Port-Salute & Rosbif, a roast beef sandwich topped with Port-Salut, shaved lettuce, tomatoes and a red pepper horseradish served on a French baguette for $5. For bacon-lovers there's the BLT & Gruyere pocket, featuring shaved lettuce, sliced tomatoes, crispy smoked bacon, alfalfa sprouts, grated Gruyere cheese and a little mayo for $4.96. There's also the 6-ounce Anger Management burger for $6.95 that customers can customize.
Customers can enjoy an Angry Cobb Salad with mixed greens, turkey, avocado, tomatoes, artichokes, cucumbers, sprouts and asiago cheese for $4.95. A different soup of the day sells for $2.95 a cup while a cup of bean soup with corn bread sells for $3.95. For dessert, brownies and cookies are available for $1.99 each.
"We are currently only open for lunch Tuesday through Friday, but we are planning on expanding our hours in the summer when we have more foot traffic through downtown Ashland," Runnels said. "We plan on opening Monday through Saturday. We are currently open extended hours for each month's First Friday."
The Angry Frenchman Cafe is located at the Pendleton Art Center at 1537 Winchester Ave., in Ashland. It is currently open from 11:30 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday. Cash and all major credit cards are accepted. For carry-out orders or more information, call 606-547-6673.

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool will resume their pursuit of Sevilla star Alberto Moreno.
Reports circulating in the Spanish media claim Brendan Rodgers is ready to end a long-running game of cat and mouse by begrudgingly activating Moreno's £23m release clause.
Rodgers' rekindled interest is a result of Southampton's capture of Chelsea defender Ryan Bertrand - although the prospect of Jose Mourinho selling to his Premier League rivals seemed unlikely.
Moreno's move to Anfield has been one of the summers longest running sagas.A multitude of stories regarding Liverpool chief executive Ian Ayre personally visiting Moreno's representatives in Spain appear to have been wide of the mark.
But with the transfer window edging nearer, and targets such as Bertrand no longer on the market - Rodgers will use his sizeable funds to bring another youngster into his ranks.

KINGSTON, R.I. -- January 26, 2000 -- Mitchell Lloyd Sogin, director
of the Josephine Bay Paul Center for Molecular Evolution at the Woods Hole
Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, Mass. will give a public
lecture on the origin and early evolution of the nucleated cell based on
clues from its genes.
Sogin's talk on "Broken Limbs and Net-like Structures in the Tree
of Life" will be in Room 215 of the Morrill Life Science Building on
URI's Kingston Campus on Feb. 7 at noon. The lecture is free and open to
the public. Anyone curious about the vast diversity of life on earth, how
such diversity arose, how gene sequencing can be used to investigate these
issues, and those interested in protecting the vast storehouse of genetic
data stored in microorganisms will be especially interested in this presentation.
Sogin is the author of a new proposal for the early evolution of eukaryotic
organisms. Typically, the origin and evolution of eukaryotic cells has been
found from evidence in the fossil record and in the phenotypic features
of organisms living today. Sogin has pioneered the use of genetic information
coded in the "blueprints of life" (the base sequences of nucleic
acids such as ribosomal RNA's) to seek out the lineages that relate diverse
living organisms to one another through their common ancestry. Discoveries
in his laboratory contradict the current opinions that divides eukaryotic
organisms into a few discrete groups, and have led to his proposal that
eukaryotes should be viewed as a continuation of diverging lineages.
Sogin is also director of the Giardia lamblia Genome Project,
funded by the National institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the
National Institute of Health, the LI-COR Biotechnology Division and the
G. Unger Vetlsen Foundation.
The lecture is sponsored by the URI Honors Program and Visiting Scholars
Committee, and the Department of Biochemistry, Microbiology and Molecular
