Manisha Singh Nair

The enforcement of intellectual property rights (IPRs) is
crucial to the grant, claim and maintenance of such rights. In
India, the Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods)
Enforcement Rules, 2007 is a set of regulations that form
a primary part of IP enforcement norms and strategy.
The recent import and consequent seizure of dual SIM card
phones has brought these rules to the fore yet again. Dual SIM
card mobile phone technology has been patented in India by an
individual inventor who enforced his IPRs by getting the
imported phones impounded at the airport.
The Intellectual Property Rights (Imported Goods)
Enforcement Rules, 2007 were brought into force by the
central government in exercise of the powers conferred under
sub-section (1) of section 156 of the Customs Act,
1962 – read with clauses (n) and (u) of
sub-section (2) of section 11 of said Act. Such legislation is
applicable with respect to the enforcement of IPRs in imported
The Rules elucidate an attempt to define the key role that
the customs officials play in the protection and implementation
of IPRs, with active participation from IPR holders. A Notice
in writing by the IPR holder is mandated at the port of import
of goods infringing the IPRs. This requests the suspension of
clearance of goods that are suspected to be infringing
The Notice must be registered by the commissioner for a
minimum period of one year. This is subject to the execution of
a bond and an undertaking to protect the importer, consignee
and owner of the goods and the competent authorities against
all liabilities. They must also bear the costs towards
destruction, demurrage and detention charges incurred till the
time of destruction or disposal, as the case may be.
The IPR holder must execute a bond indemnifying the customs
authorities against all liabilities and expenses on account of
suspension of the release of allegedly infringing goods. The
Rules impose a prohibition on the import of following:
1) Goods having applied thereto a false trade mark as
specified in Section 102 of the Trade Marks Act,
2) Goods having applied thereto a false trade description
within the meaning of clause (i) of sub-section (1) of section
2 of the Trade Marks Act, 1999, otherwise than in relation to
any of the matters specified in sub-clauses (ii) and (iii) of
clause (za) of that sub-section;
3) Goods made or produced beyond the limits of India and
intended for sale, and having applied thereto a design in which
copyright exists under the Designs Act, 2000, in
respect of the class to which the goods belong or any
fraudulent or obvious imitation of such design except when the
application of such design has been made with the licence or
written consent of the registered proprietor of the design;
4) The product made or produced beyond the limits of India
and intended for sale for which a patent is in force under the
Patents Act, 1970, except in cases where the consent
from the patentee in India has been obtained provided that such
prohibition is not applicable to the cases where such
importation is allowed under the Patents Act, 1970;
5) The product obtained directly by the process made or
produced beyond the limits of India and intended for sale,
where a patent for such process is in force under the Patents
Act 1970, except in cases where the consent from the patentee
in India has been obtained provided that such prohibition is
not applicable to the case where such importation is allowed
under the Patents Act, 1970;
6) Goods having applied thereto a false geographical
indication within the meaning of section 38 of
Geographical Indications of Goods (Registration
and Protection) Act, 1999; and
7) Goods that are prohibited to be imported by issuance of
an order issued by Registrar of Copyrights under section 53 of
the Copyright Act, 1957.
The recent case of dual SIM card mobile phones being
imported to India clearly falls under the rules governing
patented products in India. The seizure of the goods puts some
large corporations and manufacturers in an uncomfortable
position, hence they are moving towards the Indian Courts. A
writ petition stands pending at the High Court of Delhi
challenging the constitutionality of these rules. The result of
this petition will help define the enforcement strategies that
will be adopted to protect IPRs in the days to come.

Sweet-looking banjo is sure to impress.
It's been three decades since Ibanez was in the banjo business, but they're back with a bang (or is it a twang?) with the B100 Banjo. Old-timers may recall Ibanez was quite enamored with banjo-building, having even collaborated on an artist signature model with the late great Earl Scruggs.
The Ibanez B100 is a sweet 5-string closed-back banjo at a price that wont break the bank. It features an aluminum rim with 24-lug configuration and mahogany resonator. The mahogany neck has a rosewood fingerboard with gorgeous mother-of-pearl inlays. Chrome die-cast tuners lend a vintage note while keeping things in tune. Other appointments that give the B100 appeal include ivory binding and a chrome tailpeice and armpiece.

Main Street traffic improvements must be done
March 01, 2012
Sometimes there are difficult choices local government officials must make. There are always two sides to an issue. There's taxpayer money involved and seemingly always the way of life and future of the municipality at stake.
One upcoming decision the Lake Geneva City Council will make is whether to install state-of-the-art traffic signals on Main Street at the intersections of Center and Broad streets.
While a good percentage of most decisions are tough, this one is a no-brainer. I don't believe there is a choice in this matter. Just like the need for the Edwards Boulevard extension to Sheridan Springs Road, this is a need in the community that can't fall by the wayside.
During multiple meetings, the benefits of what is estimated to be a $310,000 expense has been explained. One of the most important aspects of these new signals is they could reduce downtown traffic congestion up to 20 percent and during the busy summer weekends, that improvement could increase to 50 percent. That will reduce fuel wasted and emissions while sitting at traffic lights and frustration for people who want to shop or have dinner downtown and can't get there quickly.
If you were to ask any visitor to the city, especially on a summer weekend, a special event or a holiday, their biggest complaint would probably be traffic. Here's a way to try to do something to make traffic flow less of a problem.
So, how will this all work?
Among the changes would be to interconnect the three traffic signals along Main Street to include Wells, Center and Broad streets, so there is less likely the chance that vehicles are stopped at more than one intersection on their way through downtown. The signals would, in essence, talk to each other to better manage the traffic flow depending on the day of the week and the time of the day.
Currently, the traffic signals are the same all the time, whether it is 10 p.m. on a Wednesday in February or 2 p.m. on a warm, sunny Saturday in July.
Intersection turn signals also would be set based on whether cars are in the turn lanes. Right now, the green turn signal goes on for several seconds even if there is no car in the turn lane to use it. That unnecessarily limits the green time for cross traffic.
These types of signals that gauge traffic currently are at the intersection of Sheridan Springs Road and Highway 120, near the Horizon Shell gas station on the north end of the city. When cars approach the intersection from Sheridan Springs, the lights receive a signal to make the change. If you have driven there, you know there isn't much waiting, regardless of which street you're on.
Another case in favor of new signals is the age of the current lights which could continue to work fine for years or stop operating at any moment. The current signals on Main Street at the intersections of Center and Broad streets are at least 30 years old. The signals apparently were installed in the 1970s and the 1980s. The underground cable is worn out and the lights aren't compatible with the newer signals on Wells Street. Those were installed in 2005 when the intersection was redone and will not need much work other than countdown timers for pedestrian crossing.
Here's another reason. The city will use already collected Tax Incremental Financing funds to pay for the new signals. For years, the money has been budgeted in the TIF to be used for intersection traffic signal improvements. Originally, much more than the $310,000 was projected and budgeted for the work.
This TIF money either is used for important and necessary projects, or it goes back to all the taxing bodies and only future borrowing would allow the city to complete an improvement such as this. TIF funds already have been included in your taxes and have been collected.
If TIF money is not spent on a project such as this, then the money shouldn't be spent on anything.
I suspect the city's remaining TIF district will be closed within the next year. Not all the millions of dollars in it right now will be spent, but there are some projects that are much more important than others — this is one of them.
When making a big decision, I like to make a list of positives and negatives. In this case, I can't think of a single negative. That should makes this an easy and justifiable decision for the City Council.

Superior Court Office
What we do:
The Superior Court serves all of the citizens of Adams County as one of the two existing trial courts. The Court has jurisdiction over all felonies, but primarily focuses on misdemeanors and Class D Felonies. This Court, likewise, has jurisdiction over all civil matters involving all amounts, but the primary focus is in small claims ($6,000.00 or less). All traffic cases are filed in this Court as well, although many are administered through the traffic violations bureau at the clerk's office. The Court also has jurisdiction over landlord/tenant issues, dissolution of marriage, title and possession of real property and all other cases except for juvenile offenses (under the age of 18).
About the Judge:
Pat Miller is a 1988 graduate of Indiana University and a 1991 graduate of Indiana University School of Law-Indianapolis with a Doctor of Jurisprudence degree. Pat Miller has presided as Judge of Adams Superior Court since January 1, 2009.
Small claims:
A civil action requesting a money judgment for $6,000.00 or less can be filed as a small claim. Typically, these cases involve demands for paying debts, back rent, unpaid medical bills, failure to make payments in accordance with agreements, etc.
A current small claims manual is available at www.in.gov/judiciary/selfservice/info.html
The forms for filing are available at the clerk's office in the main courthouse.
NOTE: The filing of the claim occurs in the main courthouse, but any hearings are held in the Superior Court Building at 122 South 3rd Street (next to the library).
Criminal matters:
Almost all of the misdemeanors and Class D Felonies in Adams County are filed in this Court. If a police officer or a jail officer has given a criminal defendant a notice to appear in Court, the hearing ordinarily would be held at 8:15 each day and the defendant is required to attend. At that time the person will be advised of his or her legal and constitutional rights, as well as the procedures and future hearing dates. Failure to attend said hearing could result in an arrest warrant being issued or (in traffic cases) suspension of driver's license until the person appears in Court.
Note: Minor traffic violations (for example, speeding, unless otherwise noted, stop sign violations, seat belt violations, etc.) can be processed through the violations bureau at the clerk's office. Information about the violations bureau of available on the purple card that was perhaps given to you by a police officer, on the clerk's website or by contacting the clerk's office at (260) 724-5300, Extension 2106.
Dissolution of marriage:
If there are children involved in a dissolution of marriage, a decree will not be issued by the Court unless it is shown that both of the parties have successfully completed a program called "Families in Transition." You may enroll by calling (260) 824-8574. Likewise, all parents should be aware of the presumption of the application of the parenting guidelines.
These guidelines can be found at www.in.gov/judiciary/rules/parenting/index.html
Basically, these guidelines illustrate the customary allotment of time between the two parents often called "visitation." Likewise, the Supreme Court has issued guidelines in determining the amount of support to be payable by the non-custodial parent.
These guidelines can be found at www.in.gov/judiciary/rules/child_support/index.html
Finally, a dissolution of marriage cannot be granted until at least 60 days have expired after the date of filing.
Protective Orders:
In the past, these orders were called restraining orders. Not everyone can obtain a protective order. The petitioner must be a victim of domestic or family violence, stalking or a sex offense.
The forms are available at www.in.gov/judiciary/forms/po.html
Carefully read the instructions. The forms and instructions are also available at the clerk's office in the main courthouse.

The Problem with Cleaning your Plate
By Gary Worth
Las Cruces, NM – You probably recall your parents telling you to clean your plate at dinnertime. Well, it turns out that may NOT be very good advise. The conclusion is the result of research done by Collin Payne -- a marketing professor at New Mexico State University who says telling children to clean their plate may cause them to have poor eating habits and lead to obesity. KRWG's Gary Worth has more on the study.

Recipe Card Challenge ~ May 2013
Dear friends: For the first time in over 3 years and with Toiny's permission, I need to take a break from this month's challenge. The truth is: I am so far behind in my real life after spending all my waking after-work hours helping my daughter with lots of renovation/remodeling of her new home, and we still have quite a bit to finish in the next few weeks. I've also got a lot going on with my full-time job, including being in travel status this week, and I just need a teeny-tiny breather.
Thanks so much for your understanding and support. Please enjoy this month off yourself and be ready to come back strong in June! : )
If you participated in April, you will get all the cards (although I might be late sending them out), and you will receive a coupon code for the June's kit for free.

WAUWATOSA — During a 2:00 p.m. media briefing Monday afternoon, August 6th, Froedtert Hospital officials said three victims injured during Sunday morning's shooting at the Sikh Temple in Oak Creek remain in critical condition.
Froedtert Hospital's Director of Surgical Services, Dr. Gary Seabrook was able to read statements from two of the victims' families.
50-year-old Santokh Singh suffered a single gunshot wound that penetrated his stomach, diaphragm and chest. Singh had surgery Sunday, and another surgical procedure Monday.
51-year-old Oak Creek Police Lt. Brian Murphy is in critical condition in the ICU. Dr. Seabrook read a statement from Lt. Murphy's family, who said they are grateful to so many who addressed Lt. Murphy's needs at the scene, and in the hospital. The statement said Lt. Murphy suffered eight to nine gunshot wounds at the scene, as described by officials Monday morning, and that he was "clearly in a blaze of gunfire."
Both families extended their thoughts and prayers to the Sikh community and the families of those who lost their lives.
Froedtert Hospital officials expressed that as a Level 1 Trauma Center, Froedtert is fully prepared to handle a mass casualty event such as Sunday's shooting incident.
"The saddest aspect is that we see gunshot victims and injured patients every day. We saw three here yesterday, and it's not uncommon for us to see three on a nightly basis due to senseless violence. We are here to serve the community and try to prevent these senseless injuries. When we can't prevent them, we do all we can to treat them," Froedtert Trauma Surgeon Dr. Travis Webb said.
Webb said while Froedtert did not receive as many casualties as they had expected, they were able to mobilize services in rapid fashion and bring in support immediately.
"Sadly, there were losses at the scene. We wish we could have done something for those people," Dr. Webb said.

LIMA, Peru, April 14, 2010 Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates expressed confidence today in progress being made toward passing a U.N. Security Council resolution that would ratchet up sanctions against Iran for refusing to abandon its nuclear weapons program.Video
Such a resolution could go a long way not only in isolating Iran, but also in providing a new legal platform for some countries to impose even more stringent sanctions against it, Gates said in response to a reporter's question during a news conference with Peruvian Defense Minister Rafael Rey.
Gates said he left for Latin America before he could get details about President Barack Obama's exchange with Chinese President Hu Jintao earlier this week in conjunction with the Nuclear Security Summit. While acknowledging that he doesn't know exactly where China stands at this point, Gates said, "all indications are that they were moving in the direction of being willing to support a resolution."
China is a member of the U.N. Security Council, so all resolutions require its approval.
Gates said the exact content of a resolution is less important than the fact that it would further isolate Iran from the rest of the world. It also could also serve as a "launching pad for more specific sanctions by individual countries and cooperating nations" such as the European Union, he said.
Speaking to reporters yesterday during his flight to Lima, Gates said he doesn't believe reports that Tehran could acquire a nuclear weapon within a matter of months. He said a more realistic timeframe, based on most intelligence estimates he's seen, is "at least a year," and possibly longer.

The year that Spike Mendelsohn opened Good Stuff Eatery in D.C. just happened to coincide with a pretty exciting presidential election. Spike decided to hold his own race to the White House pitting the Obama burger against the McCain burger. The Obama burger ended up beating out the McCain burger four to one. Politics aside, I'm pretty sure the toppings were the ultimate deciding factors in this burger race. More
In The Good Stuff Cookbook Spike explains that he uses Red Bliss potatoes for a few reasons: Their thin skin is edible and does not need to be peeled, they cook faster, and their flavor is sweeter than the traditional Russets. Still a bit skeptical, I heated up a big pot of oil and started slicing my potatoes into fries. More

At Good Stuff Eatery in D.C. Spike has a variety of wedge options but I think the Classic Wedge is the best place to start the iceberg comeback. Basically a quartered head of iceberg lettuce, the Classic Wedge is topped with a fantastic Blue Cheese Dressing, chopped red onions, crumbled bacon, and even more blue cheese. We all know that adding bacon is an easy way to amp up the deliciousness factor but in this case it's the homemade blue cheese dressing that really makes the salad. More
Judging by the comments we've had so far this week, the Toasted Marshmallow Shake at Spike Mendelsohn's Good Stuff Eatery in D.C. is one of the most beloved items on the menu. And when you think about it, how could it not be? Adding gooey toasted marshmallows to a vanilla milkshake is genius. More
Spike Mendelsohn's Farmhouse Bacon Cheeseburgers from The Good Stuff Cookbook possess all of the elements of my holy grail burger— thin patty, squishy potato bun, American cheese, iceberg lettuce, tomato, pickle, red onion, and a secret sauce, oh, and bacon. Spike's concept throughout the book is to keep it simple. And I went into the kitchen with fingers crossed, hoping that not over-thinking it would lead better burgers. More
The Good Stuff Cookbook is a collection of recipes from Spike's eatery that melds burger basics with great locally sourced ingredients and helpful techniques. Spike's method for making a prefect fast-food-style burger is a great one and the resulting burgers are some of the best versions to come out of my kitchen. Enter to win a copy here. More
In preparation for this week's burger-centric Cook the Book featuring The Good Stuff Cookbook we sat down with Spike Mendelsohn to talk burgers, fries, and why this former Top Chef contestant decided to forgo fine dining and embrace the burger at Good Stuff Eatery in D.C. More

Jonesboro, AR (SportsNetwork.com) - Kirk Van Slyke tallied a double-double with 21 points and 14 rebounds, as the Arkansas State Red Wolves took down the South Alabama Jaguars, 72-60, in a Sun Belt Conference clash at the Convocation Center.
Ed Townsel contributed 12 points and 10 boards for ASU (10-5, 3-1 Sun Belt), which has won five of six. Melvin Johnson III came off the bench to score 12 points for the home team.
For South Alabama (6-11, 0-4), losers of five straight, Aakim Saintil was the only player in double figures with 10 points.
ASU shot 42.9 percent from the field in the first half, much better than the Jaguars' 29.6 percent, as it went into the halftime locker room with a 33-25 advantage.
South Alabama brought its deficit to seven early in the second half, but it would get no closer. The Red Wolves pulled away late in the game with an 8-0 run.
ASU held a 41-33 rebounding advantage over South Alabama and outscored it in the paint, 28-14.

How to Play BlackJack
Blackjack is one of the most complex casino games, but it can be incredibly rewarding for players who understand the game. Blackjack rules themselves are not particularly complex; what adds depth and dimension to the game are the many different blackjack tips and strategies that exist. There are many different techniques for how to win at blackjack. Which one will work best for you? Practice blackjack for free and find out!
Basic BlackJack Rules
The aim of blackjack is to get all the cards in your hand to add up to 21 without going over. If you can't reach 21, you want your hand to be high enough that it beats the dealer's hand. Typically, each number card will count for the number on it (for instance, a five of diamonds is a five, a two of hearts is a two, etc.) Face cards (kings, jacks, queens) count as a 10. Aces are either a 1 or an 11, depending on which would be more beneficial to the player. In virtually every type of blackjack game, your hand has two cards in it, so basic blackjack strategy trainer methods all focus on optimizing these two cards.
There are many combinations of cards that could result in a total of 21. For instance, you could have a face card, a nine, and a two or a ten, three, and an eight. Payouts for blackjack vary from table to table. Typical payout is 3:2 but Las Vegas has begun adopting a 6:5 payout resulting in less monies paid to a dealt blackjack which consists of an Ace and a face card or ten.
How To Play Blackjack: Basic Strategy
The game begins with all players dealt a hand of one card. The dealer then deals himself a card and deals each player another card. In most cases, all player cards are visible to everyone at the table. The dealer's first card will always be visible. One of the most important rules of blackjack is that players are not competing against each other; the only competition is the dealer. After the first two cards have been dealt, the dealer will go around the table offering players a chance to make their moves. Players have five options:
- Hit: Accept an additional card, but without changing the bet.
- Stand: Do nothing, ending the turn with the same cards and wager as at the beginning.
- Split: When two cards of the same value exist in the same hand, one can be split off to create two separate hands.
- Double Down: The player doubles his or her bet amount, takes a single card, and is finished playing.
- Surrender:Give up, withdrawing from the game and losing half the initial bet amount.
Once all players have finished playing, the dealer will complete his hand by adding cards until reaching a value greater than or equal to 17. If the value is between 17 and 20, any players with higher hands than the dealer win. If the value is equal to 21, any other players with blackjack get their wager returned. If the dealer goes over 21, all players win.
Blackjack Card Counting & Tips
As you can see, blackjack odds are highly math-based. Because the game is such a question of probability and most of the cards can be seen by all players at all times, learning how to count cards in blackjack can be a key to becoming a successful player. Unlike many other card games, counting cards in blackjack is not against the rules, provided you don't use any outside aids such as calculators to determine your numerical predictions.
A blackjack strategy chart can be helpful for beginning players who are learning the game for the first time. A typical blackjack chart will provide guidance for what to do in a situation by evaluating the current total of your hand, and the current card shown by the dealer. The blackjack cheat sheet is a useful learning aid, but is not permitted for reference in most casinos and would be considered cheating. Don't take a blackjack strategy card, or even the most simplistic blackjack basic strategy chart, into a casino or blackjack game without first checking to ensure that it's permitted for use there.
Ultimately, you don't need any kind of blackjack trainer to be successful at the game. The best training comes from repeated blackjack practice, which will teach you how to remember the rules and patterns without any kind of guide. Whether you're interested in practice or in playing for fun, DoubleDown Casino offers free blackjack with no download and no commitment.

Wonderful finds recommended by Jennifer Dodds Fox
Most of my writing time is wedged between feedings, naps and playtime. With a small child constantly by my side, finding time to sit in front of a computer (and actually accomplish something) can be quite a challenge. So when I first heard of Java Mama, I became ecstatic. The brilliant concept is this: a cafe with great coffee and food, free Wi-Fi and a supervised play space for kids 6 and under. I repeat: supervised play space for kids. This changes everything! Java Mama gives children the chance to play safely while parents work, meet up with friends or just relax with a cup of coffee — which sometimes seems as impossible as achieving world peace. Java Mama also offers regular classes and activities like art, music and gymnastics for more structured play and is available to rent for birthday parties. The cafe menu boasts breakfast and lunch options with kids meals starting at $3.75, paninis at $6.95 and a lineup of sweet treats. The store will also carry gift items from local brands like Old Fort Soap Company and Cedar Creek Candles. Admission to the play space is free for kids under 1 year old and $4 for kids ages 1-6, with a half-price discount for siblings. Java Mama is open 8 a.m.-6 p.m. Mon.-Sat. and stays open until 8 p.m. Fridays. Sundays are reserved for private parties. 5916 Covington Road, Suite A, 46804. (260) 206-6139 or www.javamama.com/FtWayne.
I've previously written about local clothing company The Good Ones, the brainchild of One Lucky Guitar's Matt Kelley. The newest collection, Anything Ever, is another home run for the line of inspired threads for cool dudes. The clothes are comfortable but durable and feature unique details like backside printing, sleeve art and patches that any rough and tumble rock 'n roller would appreciate. Now, in the interest of full disclosure, my two sons appear in some promotional photos and videos for the brand — but since I'm always hunting for unique and stylish clothes for my mini-men, I'll highlight The Good Ones regardless. Check out the latest and greatest at www.thegoodones.com and while you're there, download the original tunes, watch some videos, read the blog and print out the coloring pages for the littles in your life.
If you've never popped into the Visitors Center downtown, you're missing out. The center offers lots of great information as well as Fort Wayne-centric gifts and souvenirs. The inventory includes books, note cards and postcards, T-shirts and hoodies, children's toys, beverage tumblers and more. I particularly dig the vintage-styled embroidered key chain, the Crest T-shirt and the book, "Wolf & Dessauer — Where Fort Wayne Shopped." The shop recently added DeBrand chocolates and Vera Bradley handbags and accessories, making it a one-stop shop for all things Fort Wayne. The center is open 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. Mon., 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Tues.-Fri. and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sat. 927 S. Harrison St., 46802. (260) 424-3700 or www.visitfortwayne.com.
I have crazy, wild hair that takes a village to tame. I've amassed a giant collection of what I lovingly call cranial accessories: hats, headbands, bows, pins, clips, turbans, giant poofs and flowers — I have it all. A friend led me to local company Emily Kai. New mom Emily Bryan was inspired by a fabric market while traveling overseas with her infant son, Kai. As she played around with the beautiful fabrics, the concept for Emily Kai was born. Her line of head scarves, wraps and twist bands are soft, handmade and produced in limited quantities to keep the looks unique. These cranial accessories are stylish, comfortable, stay in place and come beautifully packaged. I purchased mine at Symmetry and they've been my go-to hair tamers for the summer. You'll find this fantastic line at Symmetry and the Pine Valley Rustic Hutch. Prices range from $39 to $60. www.emilykai.com.

Tired of going to gymnasium daily and want to get rid of teasing comments of elder brother? Running on the jogging track seems to be a toughest job on earth to do? No worries guys as I am going to guide you through some of the natural ways to reduce your weight. It is all about mending your routine according to what I will be telling you shortly in this article and that is it. You don't need to jog or lift weights in gymnasium anymore but on one condition that whatsoever you read in this article, follow that strictly and don't deviate from this plan or else all of your efforts will come to a naught. I believe in losing weight through the natural way and not by surgery or other short-cuts. Let us not waste any further time and get on to the top 10 list.
10. Try to eat the low GI diet and make out a weekly menu in which you should include low GI diet. This diet is balanced and is healthy in every manner. The point behind eating food with low GI is that it takes longer for your body to digest these, consequently making you feel full for a longer period of time.
9. Your target must be to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Now it is up to you that how you plan this up and incorporate into your daily routine. Believe me, it is not that easy for most of you to drink 8 glass of water so don't take this thing easy.
8. Eat lot of vegetables, fish, eggs, seeds and nuts. Vegetables fill you up but are very low in calories so it makes you feel light even if you have eaten a lot.
7. There are some interesting and easy tips to lose weight naturally. For instance, you may park your car far away from where you intend to shop. It will make you walk more and help you lose weight. Always use stairs instead of lift unless there is some emergency. Walking for about half an hour daily is not a bad idea guys.
6. Try to take in proteins also along with other constituents because it will keep your metabolism going on. You can make up snack protein by adding food of your choice which contains protein primarily.
5. Are you fond of late night eating or going for dinner in restaurants and eating to your full there?. If this is it, then you are running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. This is never going to work out for you. Eat less at night and take a good diet in morning and at lunch.
4. Divide your 3 meals a day further into 3 and it will make a total of 6 meals a day. It will make your metabolism going. This implies that you should eat after every 2-3 hours. Grab a paper and pen and work your brain into a nice daily schedule.
3. Eat as less sweets as you possibly can as they contain a high calorie content and add up to your weight. If at all you are eating sweets then try not to take any of them after 4pm and prefer the day timing for eating sweets.
2. Further narrowing down my statement on eating fruits, I would strongly recommend you to eat apples. Apple contains a substance called pectin which is known to make you feel full and it retains that feeling for a long time. In that way, you unconsciously desist from eating unhealthy food or high calorie diet.
1. If you feel that high calorie food, if always placed in your cupboard, is an enticement for you to eat a lot of them than there is surely a way out. Out of Sight, Out of Mind ! phrase will make it work for you. Try not to keep this type of food in your refrigerators and kitchen

Complete CSUN/USC Press Release in PDF form
Northridge Notes
Last year (2010-11), Cal State Northridge head coach Bobby Braswell recruited eight freshmen players into the Matador basketball program. This year, the trend continues. Braswell has brought in another seven freshmen and along with two redshirt freshmen from 2010-11.
Cal State Northridge is the youngest team among more than 330 NCAA Division I schools in the country. Of the 18 players on this year's roster, there are only 12 years of collegiate basketball experience, an average of 0.67 years. Navy is second nationally at 0.70 years and UC Irvine is third at 0.71 years. These statistics factor in the team's total years of previous collegiate experience with the number of players on the roster.
The 18-man Matador roster has only three seniors and NO juniors. The rest of the team is composed of underclassmen (six sophomores, seven freshmen, two redshirt freshmen).
Cal State Northridge will obviously be a young, energetic team in 2011-12 that will have to compensate for the loss of graduated seniors Lenny Daniel and Rashaun McLemore who dominated the scoring and rebounding load for CSUN last year. Daniel proved to be one of the best players in the modern era of Matador basketball. Daniel finished his two-year CSUN career (2009-10 and 2010-11) with his name appearing 13 times in the CSUN record book. Last year, Daniel averaged 16.4 points and 9.4 rebounds per game. Daniel led the Big West Conference in field goal percentage (.564), was third in rebounding (9.4 rpg) and blocks (38, 1.2 bpg) and fourth in scoring (16.4 ppg). Daniel produced 17 double-doubles during the year, and grabbed ten or more rebounds in 18 games, including a career-high 15 rebounds against Air Force.
McLemore chipped in 14.6 points and 3.7 rebounds per game.
For their efforts, Daniel gained first team All-Big West Conference honors while McLemore gained second team accolades.
Frankie Eteuati (6-10, 190, Sophomore, Center, Los Angeles, Ca) will be relied upon to help patrol the boards for Cal State Northridge in 2011-12. Eteuati is CSUN's tallest player on the 16-man roster who finished with 21 blocks in 2010-11, eighth-best on the team. His best rebounding game was seven against Cal State Bakersfield. Other veteran frontline returnees include John Hayward-Mayhew (6-8, 220, Senior, Forward, Eugene, Or), Thomas Jacobs (6-6, 215, Sophomore, Forward, San Diego, Ca) and Jordan Mitchell (6-9, 210, Sophomore, Forward, Gardena, Ca). Hayward-Mayhew was a starter in five games last year and that included a seven-rebound performance against UCLA in the season opener. Jacobs came on strong during the final six games of the 2010-11 season. Jacobs averaged 6.2 rebounds per game during that span including a season-high nine boards at Eastern Washington and eight boards against Big West Conference champion UC Santa Barbara. Mitchell was a starter in 13 of the last 16 games of the 2010-11 campaign.
The list of newcomers includes Ari Feldman (6-9, 220, Senior, Forward/Center, Santa Monica, Ca), Stephen Maxwell (6-5, 215, Freshman, Forward, Woodland Hills), Trevone Williams (6-6, 220, Freshman, Forward, Los Angeles, Ca) and Teddy Agbonwaneten (6-3, 215, Freshman, Forward, Los Angeles, Ca). Feldman originally began his CSUN career as a member of the nationally-ranked Matadors volleyball team. Maxwell hails from Taft High School (Woodland Hills, Ca) where he gained all-league and all-city honors. Williams gained numerous honors in helping Westchester High School (Los Angeles, Ca) to a 115-12 record during his four-year tenure. Agbonwaneten is a small forward from Bravo Medical Magnet School.
The Matador backcourt will certainly be a strength of the team in 2011-12. Vinnie McGhee (5-10, 170, Senior, Guard, Oakland, Ca), Josh Greene (6-0, 180, Sophomore, Guard, Los Angeles, Ca), Aqeel Quinn (6-4, 190, Sophomore, Guard), Lawndale, Ca and Allen Jiles IV (6-4, 200, Sophomore, Guard/Forward, Los Angeles, Ca) will form the nucleus of a strong backcourt in 2011-12. McGhee is a two-year veteran (62 games, 27 as a starter) who has the ability to play both the off-guard and point-guard positions for Cal State Northridge. McGhee was the team leader in three-pointers (51) last year for Cal State Northridge. In 25 of the 32 games, McGhee produced at least one three-pointer. McGhee can score and pass the ball by evidence of his season-high 20 points against Cal Poly and his career-high eight assists against UC Davis. As the season progressed in 2011-12, Greene got better and better. Greene, a shooting-guard, scored in double-digits in eight games including a season-high 19 points (6-for-8 from the 3-point territory including the game winner with 24 seconds remaining) at Cal State Fullerton and 17 points in 22 minutes of play against UC Riverside. Greene shot .827 from the free throw line. Quinn, a point-guard, can shoot. In the last 16 games of the 2010-11 season, Quinn hit .483 (14-for-29) from behind the arc. Jiles is a defensive standout who proved to be a valuable reserve in 2010-11.
The list of new guards is outstanding. The list includes Allan Guei (5-9, 160, Freshman, Guard, Compton, Ca), Stephan Hicks (6-5, 190, Guard/Forward, RS Freshman, Thousand Oaks, Ca), Davon Potts (6-2, 175, Freshman, Guard, Cerritos, Ca), Lonnie Watson (6-4, 195, Guard/Forward, RS Freshman, Paso Robles, Ca), Justin Yeargin (6-2, 180, Freshman, Guard, Oakland, Ca) and Ishmael Godfrey (5-11, 175, Guard, Hawthorne, Ca). Guei is a lighting-fast point-guard from Compton High School (Los Angeles, Ca) where he averaged 20.1 points, five rebounds, four assists and nearly three steals per game last year. Hicks is a redshirt freshman who can play both the off-guard and forward positions. Potts hails from Gahr High School (Cerritos, Ca) where he led the team to the 2011 CIF Southern Section Division 2A championship, averaging more than 22 points per game. Watson is another redshirt freshman, who like Hicks, can play both the guard and forward positions. Yeargin helped Bishop O'Dowd HS (Oakland, Ca) to a 33-2 record, the league title as well as the North Coast Section and Northern California championships last year. Godfrey is quick guard who will depth to the Matador roster.
"There will be a lot of coaching and teaching this year," said Braswell. "We'll have to show a lot of patience but I like the energy of this team. I like the fact they are listening and are coachable."
Let the games begin!!!
Conference Chatter
Last year, Cal State Northridge men's basketball was pegged to finish eighth in the annual Big West Conference pre-season media poll ... The Matadors proved the experts wrong, finishing alone in third place (9-7) and eventually landing a spot in the semi-finals of the Big West Tournament at the Honda Center in Anaheim ... This year (2011-12), the pre-season results are the same. Cal State Northridge is predicted to finish eighth in this year's conference. CSUN tallied 61 points to finish just behind UC Davis (63 points) in seventh place, and six points ahead of ninth place UC Irvine (55 points) ... Long Beach State was selected the favorite to claim the 2011-12 Big West men's basketball title. The 49ers collected 20 first-place votes from the 24-member voting panel for a total of 212 points. LBS welcomes back four starters from the 2010-11 squad that finished 22-12 overall and won the Big West regular season title by four games with a 12-4 record ... UC Santa Barbara has presented the biggest roadblock to Long Beach State in its quest to reach the NCAA Tournament. The Gauchos have knocked off the 49ers in the Big West Tournament championship game the last two seasons, earning the conference's automatic bid to the Big Dance. UCSB was picked to finish second in this year's media poll, receiving the four remaining first-place votes and 196 points ... Cal Poly was picked third in the poll with 158 points ... Cal State Fullerton finished fourth in the media poll with 131 points, followed by UC Riverside in fifth place with 114 points, Pacific with 91 points in sixth place, UC Davis with 62 points in seventh place, Cal State Northridge in eighth place with 61 points, and UC Irvine with 55 points to finish in ninth place in the media poll.

However, Cal State Northridge dominated play in the five-minute overtime, 11-6 ... Efevberha and Jayme Miller each collected a team-high five rebounds ... "That was a special night." remembers Matador head coach Bobby Braswell ... "We had a lot of new players since he had lost quite a few seniors from the previous year. We didn't know how good we could be, but again, I told the guys that this wass another opportunity to do something special. The players responded. We defemedd realy well. The team kept fighting, and we won a tough game on the road against a good Pac-10 (now Pac-12) school."
Trojan Tidbits
USC, a participant in the 2011 NCAA Tournament with a 19-15 record, will have a different look in 2011-12 ... The Trojans return only two players who played significant minutes during the 2010-11 campaign ... The team's top returner is sophomore Maurice Jones (5-7, 155, Sophomore, Guard, Saginaw, Mi) who averaged 9.9 points and 2.6 rebounds per game last year ...

John Hayward-Mayhew and Thomas Jacobs each tallied a team-high eight rebounds ... Cal State Northridge outrebounded Cal Baptist, 51-37.
Schedule Saga
Challenging is always the trademark of the CSUN basketball schedule, and this year is no exception ... The non-league schedule includes games at Pac-12 schools USC (season opener on Nov. 11, 2011) and at Washington (12/22/11) ... Both the Trojans and Huskies competed in the NCAA Tournament last year ... The CSUN game at USC is the second straight season that the Matadors have faced a Pac-12 school in the season opener ...

Yesterday, I spent some time discussing the direction of public schools, and the reduced emphasis on the arts, with a colleague. The current obsession with accountability, for students and teachers, creates a vicious cycle that defines non-tested subjects as expendable. I believe that many of these "expendable" subjects play a critical role in the development of empathy, problem solving, and creativity (see Is Music the Key to Success). These so-called "soft" skills are precisely what our society needs (see The World Needs More Social Entrepreneurs), but are often the first casualties of the accountability culture. Ursala Le Guin has said that, "The creative adult is the child who has survived." In many cases, this appears to be the sad reality.
So, as I consider our incredibly diverse (economically, ethnically, and academically) junior high school, I wonder how we go about creating a school that fosters the development of critical soft skills within the constraints of the current system — the reality of required state assessments and teacher evaluation, the necessity of meeting the needs of all of the students who come through our doors, and severe limitations related to staffing and funding.
I'm really not satisfied with the status quo, and falling victim to accountability measures that drive decisions contrary to the best interest of students. So as I consider how we might do things differently, here are some of the questions that come to mind:
- Do junior high students need seventy minutes of mathematics every day? Years ago, our district adopted a schedule that increased all classes to seventy minutes in length and reduced our school day to five periods. This essentially cut elective time in half. This was done in an effort to improve mathematics scores on state tests, but it severely limits our scheduling options.
- How do you provide effective interventions for struggling students (we have many) without severely reducing, or eliminating, their opportunities for exposure to the arts, technology, physical education, etc.?
- With significant academic disparity within a given classroom, how do you engage all students in work that is meaningful, challenging, and engaging? We honestly have classes where approximately fifty percent of our students are below grade level in a given subject.
- Can a public school be all things to all students? Is it possible to be strong in the arts, sciences, mathematics, social sciences and provide the soft skill development that students need to succeed, and be difference makers, in the world?
I know great things are happening in many public schools. I also know there are some very innovative thinkers in the magnet, and charter, sectors. I look at the work of Chris Lehman, and the staff, at Science Leadership Academy, in Philadelphia, and I wonder how that model might be applied to a public junior high school in Arizona. Is it possible to create that kind of learning environment within the funding and accountability constraints of our current system?
I would love to hear your ideas, suggestions, and experiences. Point me in the right direction

In a further sign of Iran's efforts to defend its nuclear program from the possibility of foreign attack, the regime announced today it is moving the devices that enrich uranium for nuclear fuel to an underground bunker near the holy city of Qom. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency, moving centrifuges to Qom was a "further deviation" from several United Nations Security Council resolutions that called for Iran to suspend all enrichment-related activities.
Coming as it does after Iran's announcement in June it plans to triple its capacity to enrich uranium, the move of the centrifuges is an indication of Tehran's determination to go ahead with its nuclear project. Though it claims the project is intended for peaceful uses, the IAEA has noted in recent months that Tehran has been working on construction of a triggering device whose only purpose would be to set off a nuclear weapon as well as upgrading the quality of their centrifuges and their enrichment capacity.
For the last year and a half after the collapse of its attempt to "engage" Iran, the Obama administration has sought to build an international coalition that would isolate and sanction Iran so as to convince it to abandon its nuclear ambitions. The meager results of this diplomatic offensive have been so poor, they did not convince the Iranians they have little to fear from either the United States or the United Nations. And they have used each effort to re-start talks on the nuclear question — such as the latest one put forward by Russia last week — to spin out negotiations indefinitely while they continue to expand their efforts and get closer to their goal of a weapon.
The Iranians are already counting on the reluctance of either the United States or Israel to initiate hostilities to protect them against the possibility of an attack. The move of the centrifuges will make the already daunting task of eliminating Iran's nuclear program by force even more difficult.
The bottom line is despite President Obama's promise he will never allow Iran to obtain a nuclear weapon, Iran is proceeding directly toward that end with little sign America is prepared to act to prevent this from happening. The ayatollahs seem to have come to the conclusion Obama's America is a paper tiger they need not worry about. Whether or not they are right, with each new development in this story, it appears we are getting closer to the moment when Iran will become the latest and among the most dangerous members of the nuclear club.
