Q: For days, residents of the beach area have been struggling with the moon crater potholes on N. Dixie Hwy. between Brest Rd. and Stony Creek Rd. Traffic, that normally proceeds at 45 mph, slows to a halt in the war zone.
This is an evacuation route for the Fermi. When will anyone investigate the inefficiency and lack of prioritization of the Monroe County Road Commission?
A: "The Monroe County Road Commission has experienced 25-28 days of snow in the month of January," said Randy Pierce, managing director. "That leaves only two to three days to address road maintenance such as pothole patching. Patching potholes is a temporary fix and with no additional funding coming from Lansing there does not appear to be a long term solution.
"The MCRC has battled on a daily basis trying to keep the roads clear of snow, and with blowing and drifting this has been a very time consuming and difficult task for our crews. Even when pothole patching is put in place, when more snow falls that requires scraping and salting of the roads, the patch material does not hold and the road appears to the general public that patching was not done.
"Crews were already scheduled to be out patching this section of N. Dixie Hwy. on Tuesday (but another snowstorm hit.) The MCRC will be out doing the best job possible with the resources that are available."
◆ ◆ ◆
Q: Does the Monroe County Road Commission salt subdivisions?
A: "The Monroe County Road Commission has not salted subdivisions in over 10 years, as it is cost prohibitive. Per board procedure: During snow/ice events, state roads, primary roads and school routes (roads where schools are located) are plowed on a 24-hour basis. Salting ceases once the snow starts to accumulate to allow for scraping and plowing of snow. Application of salt on these listed roads resumes when snowfall ceases," officials said.
"Local roads are cleared on straight time and salting takes place on intersections, hills, railroad crossings and known dangerous curves, or as deemed necessary due to conditions.
Subdivisions are cleared on straight time during the day shift when time permits. Salting in subdivision intersections takes place only when a major safety concern is identified by the MCRC or first responders.
"Based on the severity of the last three storm events, the MCRC has authorized overtime for crews to plow and/or scrape local roads and subdivisions. During the recent snow events, there has been tremendous blowing and drifting, which has required crews to be taken off local roads and subdivisions and redirected back to state, primary and school routes."
◆ ◆ ◆
Q: Do communities such as Luna Pier and Dundee receive salt from the Monroe County Road Commission?
A: "As a courtesy, the MCRC allows municipalities and schools to purchase salt as a cost savings to those organizations because they cannot purchase it as cheaply as the road commission is able through the State of Michigan," officials said.
"Due to the unexpected and extreme weather conditions, there is a salt shortage across the region.
"The MCRC does not have any written agreements or contracts with the municipalities or schools, except one, but we have routinely, as a courtesy, allowed them to purchase salt. The MCRC's first commitment is to the county road system, which prompted the salt being limited to those outside agencies to two tons a day (or 10 tons a week) effective Jan. 31.
"Due to the shortage, the MCRC continues to work diligently to obtain additional salt from outside sources.
"Based on the salt shortage, the MCRC will be mixing two parts salt to one part sand in applicable areas.
"The MCRC would also ask residents and motorists to drive safely and be patient as the snow storm and high winds may make clean-up more difficult and take additional time."

A disappointing and injury-riddled 8-8-1 season hasnt shaken Green Bay Packers general manager Ted Thompson from his core beliefs.
Thats why the 61-year-old Thompson is again down in Mobile, Ala., scouting the next crop of prospects to feed his draft-and-develop mantra instead of salivating at the upcoming pool of free agents.
This year, Thompsons work is a bit trickier. The Packers have 17 unrestricted free agents to deal with. Several, such as cornerback Sam Shields and defensive lineman B.J. Raji, should command a bull market for their services.
Thompson reiterated those intentions during his first public interview in months earlier this week on SiriusXM NFL Radio with Vic Carucci and ESPN NFL Insider Adam Caplan.
Yes, free agency remains an option, but Thompson isnt deviating from the unwavering draft-and-develop principles hes loyal to.
We just think its a good model to use under the rules of the collective bargaining agreement and that sort of thing, Thompson said. We just feel like your best policy is to try as best you can and it doesnt always work out because sometimes you have to do different things but if you draft good people, you develop them, you get a good coaching staff that coaches them up.
A litany of injuries were the biggest culprit of the Packers eight-win campaign. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers missed seven games with a fractured collarbone and 15 players finished the season on injured reserve.
Hefty contracts doled out to Rodgers and outside linebacker Clay Matthews will make the Packers think long and hard about who to bring back.
Its inevitable the Packers roster will undergo some form of makeover this offseason. Its up to Thompson to decide how drastic the change might be.
As for this past season, hes pleased with how the team fared all things considered.
Well its fairly trying, Thompson said. I was very, very proud of our team though, and I think it shows some of the culture that coach McCarthy and his staff has brought into it because they never quit playing, never quit trying. But it was an awful tough year, it was that.

I was a little hesitant to open up my gallery thread for I didn't know exactly what to post. I've been doing graphics since I was about 13 years old. I'm not sure what level which depresses me a lot. When people ask me what I can do with graphics, sometimes I stumble and don't know how to answer correctly for I do various graphics.
I started with creating websites and then moved to icons and signatures. My beginning was tough actually and in no time, I was already familiar with websites and coding them. After that, I started liking icons more and more especially since the time I joined soompi. That forum taught me too many things already which I'm extremely grateful for. I got the chance to practice and take requests. Members noticed my work and liked it. For that too, I'm truly thankful.
Then, I moved to creating small posters for online stories in soompi again. Either I take requests or do few of my own using many textures and colorization. But, I stopped doing all of this lately for I was into something new as well. That is, pixel art. Since joining the community Gaia I was introduced to yet another amazing art. Even though pixel arts sometimes are small but they were so cute which made me attempt creating some, and I succeeded.
Lately, I developed my techniques and enabled my imagination to go wilder. For few months now, I've been creating patterns, doing some digital art work, and doing logos. I never thought that I could develop my style to do all of these at once. But not, I'm so happy with my achievements so far and hope that by everyone's support, I'll progress even more and share more of my work.

A resource for journalists who cover violence
At Arizona State University in Phoenix, a panel discussion on how, when crisis occurs, reporters unfamiliar with the landscape can effectively cover the communities, cultures and people involved.
Journalists Victor Merina and Ina Jaffe discuss how reporters can effectively cover communities, cultures and people they know little about – and how that situation is even more challenging when those communities are facing a crisis.
Merina is senior correspondent and special projects editor for reznet, a website that focuses on Native American issues and indigenous people. He is a former Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter for the Los Angeles Times.
Ina Jaffe is a National desk correspondent based at NPR West, NPR's production center in Los Angeles. Her reports can be heard regularly on NPR newsmagazines including Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Covering California and the West, Jaffe has reported on nearly all of the major news events, elections, and natural disasters in the region. She also reports on national stories, such as the 2008 presidential campaign and the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans.

Sciences are always in a state of ebb and flow (sorry), and topics of study fall in or out of fashion in response to paradigms shifts, methodological advances, and to support necessary ecological applications.
For the sake of curiosity, I've compiled the top keywords from ecology publications in 2010. Obviously there are many covariates, but it should come as no surprise that the top words were "biodiversity" (667 times), "climate change" (293), and "conservation" (274); other popular keywords were "evolution" (277), "population (ecology)" (273), and the rather vague "patterns" (196).

Springfield hospital officials said they're pleased that federal legislators are looking at correcting a problem that is costing Missouri hospitals an estimated $15.6 million a year in Medicare payments.
The problem has a pair of catchy names: the "Nantucket effect" or the "Bay State boondoggle."
Massachusetts hospital officials used the way that hospitals are classified to funnel more money in Medicare payments to Massachusetts at the expense of hospitals in most of the rest of the United States - an extra $256.6 million to $367 million a year for the last two years. ...

On June 16, 2005, Christopher Harrison, 20, was shot twice in the back inside his car at 39th and Main streets by a man sitting in the back seat.
The shooter also fired at Harrison's cousin, Antrell Glover, 26, who was in the passenger seat, hitting him in the head, back and hand.
Glover identified John Thomas Jones, a Louisville teenager, to police as the shooter, according to court records. Two other people came forward to tell police that Jones had told them he was responsible for the shootings, according to records.
But as Jones sat in jail, charged with murder, assault and tampering with physical evidence in the case, evidence that should have been processed was not.
Glover told police that before the shootings, Harrison received a cell phone call from the person they then picked up. However, neither prosecutors nor police ever checked Harrison's cell phone records to trace who made that call.
"The smoking gun, so to speak, was never followed up on, and the phone company doesn't keep the records after six months," Assistant Commonwealth's Attorney Jon Heck told a judge March 31, nearly 10 months after the shootings.
Besides the unchecked phone records, including records of calls from Jones' phone, authorities also hadn't completed an analysis of the crime scene, prosecutors later acknowledged.
The firearm at the scene was not sent to the ballistics lab for several months; blood found at the scene and from Jones was not tested; and fingerprints samples in the vehicle weren't compared, said Heck, who took over the case in March from a prosecutor who had left the office.
Lt. Steve Green, commander of the homicide/robbery unit, disagreed with some of Heck's assertions but acknowledged that he was "not happy" with the police work on the case.
Jones pleaded to reckless homicide, which carries a sentence of one to five years, and was sentenced to the nine months he'd already spent in jail. He was released that same day.
Jones was recently arrested for drug possession.

|Stimulatory effect of zinc-chelating dipeptide on deoxyribonucleic acid synthesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 8959758 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|Whether deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) synthesis in osteoblastic MC3T3-E1 cells is stimulated by zinc, an activator of bone formation, was investigated in vitro. After subculture for 3 days, the cells were cultured for up to 3 days (72 h) with zinc sulfate or zinc-chelated dipeptide (beta-alanyl-L-histidinato zinc; AHZ) in the range of 10(-7) to 10(-5) M. The culture with zinc compounds (10(-5) M) produced a significant increase of cell number, DNA content, and protein concentration in the cells, as reported previously. The culture with zinc compounds (10(-6) and 10(-5) M) clearly stimulated DNA synthesis in the homogenate, when it was estimated by the incorporation of [3H]deoxythymidine 5'-triphosphate into the DNA in the homogenate of cells. The AHZ effect was greater than that of zinc sulfate. The culture together with cycloheximide (19(-6) M) completely abolished the zinc compounds (10(-5) M)-induced increase of DNA synthesis in the cells, suggesting that the zinc compound effect is based on a newly synthesized protein component. Moreover, when zinc sulfate (10(-7) and 10(-6) M) or AHZ (10(-8) to 10(-5) M) was added into the reaction mixture with the homogenate of cells cultured without zinc compounds, the DNA synthesis was clearly increased. The effect of addition of zinc compounds (10(-6) M) on the DNA synthesis was completely inhibited by the presence of staurosporine (10(-8) M), an inhibitor of protein kinase C, or okadaic acid (10(-7) M), an inhibitor of protein phosphatase. The present study demonstrates that zinc compounds have a stimulatory effect on DNA synthesis in osteoblastic cells.

Celebrating our 53rd Year of Professional Auto Racing
BECHTELSVILLE, PA The battle for the lucrative point championships is down to just three events remaining in each division of competition at NASCAR sanctioned Grandview Speedway but the battles are far from over. This Saturday night FHG Services presents a doubleheader show featuring the NASCAR 358 modifieds and late models with the green flag falling at 7:30 p.m. Jeff Strunk, a seven time track champion, leads the standings with Duane Howard, considered one of the best dirt track racers in the business, holding on to second. Just one miscue by Strunk, a missed feature, would put Howard back in front of the point chase. During the next three events there are more than 900 points available if a driver can win them all and Strunk has just a 286 point edge so a lot can happen in three weeks. And don't count out six time track champion Craig VonDohren sitting in third spot or the "oldtimer" Meme DeSantis sitting in fourth. With 12 different feature winners so far this season it has been one of the most competitive modified seasons on record. It has been difficult for fans to pick the winners as the BPG Racing Pick 3 Contest is now worth $1050 to a lucky fan who can pick the top three in the modified feature in the order they will finish using the entry blank in the Grandview Groove track magazine. Competition is even tighter for the championship in the NASCAR Late Models with past champion Randy Stoudt, all time leading late model feature winner amongst active drivers, leading the standings by just 59 points over another past champion Brian Shuey. Ron Kline, also a past champion is third in the standings. Interesting to note, based on more than 900 points being available to the racers in the next three weeks, the top nine racers in the standings still have a chance to grab the title. There have been seven different late model feature winners this season so far. The modifieds will top off their night with a 30-lap FHG Services feature starting 28 cars while the late models go in a 20-lap event. Many of the modified racers will be using these final three events to ready for the challenge of the biggest and richest event of the season when the BPG Racing Freedom 76 is presented on Saturday, September 12th. This event, paying $20,000 to win plus lap money, will attract many of the top talents in 358 modified racing as they try to win the prestigious event. Information on entering the race can be had by telephoning 610.754.7688. Tech information can be had from Mike Kelly at firstname.lastname@example.com. Adult admission for the BPG Racing Freedom 76 is $25 while youngsters 6 thru 11 pay $10. Children under 6 are admitted free. Pit passes will be $40. Advance tickets are available at the speedway on Saturday nights. There are still a limited number of lap sponsorships available at $10 a lap. Included in the sponsorship is a listing in the track magazine for that special night and mentions on the public address system. Contact Ernie Saxton at firstname.lastname@example.com or see him at the track. Coming up on Saturday, August 29th, is a tripleheader show featuring the NASCAR 358 modifieds, late models and ARDC wingless midgets. The 7:30 p.m. show will be sponsored by 3 Starz Inc. Landscaping of Hatboro, PA. Adult admission will be $15. Grandview Speedway is located at 43 Passmore Road, just off Route 100 in Bechtelsville, PA, 10 miles north of Pottstown. For information telephone 610.754.7688 or check in at www.grandviewspeedway.com

November 27, 2015
Denver (AP) A state audit of the private fund–raising foundation of the University of Colorado is scheduled to be
publicly released Tuesday. The Legislative Audit Committee plans to meet with foundation and university leaders to discuss the audit's findings.
The audit was one of several probes launched in the fallout over allegations that C.U. used sex and alcohol to recruit football players. A statewide grand jury investigating the claims indicted only a former recruiting aide, who admitted soliciting a prostitute for himself and misusing a university phone.
Another state audit on two of football coach Gary Barnett's
camps is to be released December 13th.
The Internal Revenue Service also has requested documents regarding the camps.

Trial set for 2 charged in Upshur killing
BUCKHANNON, W.Va. -- An April trial is set for two people accused of participating in a plot to kill a Buckhannon man.
The Upshur County grand jury indicted 29-year-old Jessie Lee Heater of Buckhannon and 30-year-old Robert Eugene Siron III last week on murder and conspiracy charges. Both men also are charged with concealing a body.
Media outlets report that Upshur County Circuit Court Judge Robert Keadle scheduled the men's trial for April 30.
Keadle approved a prosecution motion to have the defendants tried together. But he stipulated that a new judge could decide to hold separate trials. Keadle is retiring at the end of January.
Heater and Siron are charged with killing 29-year-old Joshua Oberg. Oberg's body was found in a grave along Bull Run Road last summer.

5. Smash Potater The EP
Showing the forum some love, here. Smash Potater are a crossover/thrash band featuring poster metallicbrian666 on guitars and back up vokills. These guys write speedy songs that are short, sweet, and to the point. Fast riffs, speedy solos are abundant along with an array of vocal styles, from typical crossover shouted vocals to death growls. Every song starts with a sample of some sort, which ties in the song lyrically. Speaking of lyrics, these guys have a good sense of humor and use in their lyrics. Lyrical themes are mostly centered around food but they also have hilarious thrash commentary. Its hard not to chuckle when listening to this EP. If you like quick thrash and funny lyrics, check this out.
4. Chrome Waves Chrome Waves
Post-black metal super group Chrome Waves, featuring members of Wolvhammer, Gates of Slumber and The Atlas Moth, step foot into the metal realm with their self-titled debut EP. Their style of post-black metal is definitely a bit on the slower side, definitely taking on emphasis on the rock in post-rock. While the songs they write are slow in feeling and atmosphere, the do have an upbeat rock groove with constant chord strumming, similar to Agalloch. That sets them apart from many of their colleagues in the post-BM game. The only real line that connects these guys to black metal is the heavy use of minor chords do build a melancholic atmosphere and of course the blackened shrieks. Blast beats and unrelenting double bass passages are kept to a minimum on the record. The vocals are delivered with tons of emotion, and sound very tortured, as good black metal vocals should. Guitar and bass work on this album sound great with rich fuzzy tone and cool use of acoustic guitar, whether its strumming are arpeggiating chords. Over all this is a great post-black metal record more in the vein of the neo-folk sound that Agalloch produces.
Height Of the Rifles
I wouldnt be surprised if Im the only person to include this in their year-end review. Or if I was the only person who listened to it. TNGHT (pronounced tonight) is a collaboration between producers Hudson Mohawke and Lunice. TNGHT create beats that quite energetic, bass heavy, loud, sample heavy, and could be described as ignorant or obnoxious. Considering bass, wonky, and trap are some of the tags on their last.fm, Im not sure this is going to attract many people on there, but I really like it. Every song is different in feel and actually showcases some musical knowledge. There is obviously a lot of work put into these beats, because theyre pretty layered with a lot of sounds and pretty impressive rhythmic work. They also use a lot of cool samples that dont seem common in hip-hop like babies, bubbles popping, cars crashing, video game sounds, and more. If you like fun, energetic electronic music, give it a shot.
2. Light Bearer - Celestium Apocrypha; Book of Watchers
Technically this is a split with Northless, but I only downloaded the Light Bearer side, so Im considering it a single. Light Bearer start yet another music series, the Celestium Apocrypha, which will be a compilation of side of whats going on in the Æsahættr Tetralogy, with the first installment: Book of Watchers. The song start with about 4 minutes of feedback and static then drums fade, later joined by guitar, then bass. An excellent riff is established and played for a bit then changes as vocals come in, but it then returns to the main riff, this time layered with guitar leads. The riff evolves into a behemoth of a riff, then calms down for a bit, only to return to its previous stature, only to die down again. At this point theres only noise and vocals that are harmonized. Slowly, piece-by-piece, the band enters back in and introduces a really slow, dark lead and pummeling drums that sound like a primitive warning that something dark and evil is coming. That eventually happens with an enormous, slow riff that blasts in, aided by call and response screamed vocals. Again, it dies down to a clean chord progression. It then ends in loud crescendo on a riff used earlier in the song. Light Bearer prove that they are masters in the craft of writing evil atmospheric sludge that pulls you in, sits you down, and tells you a story.
Celestium Apocrypha; Book of Watchers
1) Agalloch Faustian Echoes
Agalloch release the finest EP of the year with their 20-minute song, Faustian Echoes. The song shows Agalloch furthering themselves into black metal as we saw on their last LP, Marrow of the Spirit. After a short sample, the song comes blazing with a back metal riff, full of tremolo picking and blast beats. It soon goes into the dark neo-folk kind of passage were used to from these guys, but heavier than before. The chord progression is soon met with an arpeggiation of chords layered on top. But they Agalloch doesnt stop there, adding even more layers, such as a tremolo picked melody on top of what has already been set. All of this is not 6 minutes into the song, and you have some of the best writing weve seen from these guys, with awesome guitar layering, audible bass with a good tone and good bassline, and Aesops drumming is ace. All of this is halted with a quick break with one of the catchiest riffs in Agalloch history. And like before, that riff is accompanied with an awesome melody and great backing section. That soon dies down, with a heavy and slow riff. After all comes to silence, were met with samples from a movie that I can only assume if about Faust, which is what the song is also about. They band returns to the song with a fast and furious black metal passage that is as much evil as it is beautiful. That evolves into less distorted black/folk metal riff. All of this then returns to a variation of that sweet riff that happened early in the song, around the 6:40 mark. They then introduce one last idea, accompanied with an awesome guitar solo, and then the song dies down to a sample from the movie mentioned before. Agalloch may have written one of their best songs to date with Faustian Echoes. It combines everything there is to love about their last two records and more.

Perched on a hairpin bend of a Ghat road, surrounded by tea carpets is Kenthala. The small Badaga village is buzzing with activity and a passerby would be forgiven for mistaking that a fair had arrived here instead of the poll campaign making a pitstop for votes. Kenthala's 250-odd residents have gathered around the bus shelter and are spilling out onto the road that best serves the purpose of an non-existent village square.
The quiet of the hills is interrupted by a cacophony of noises—a voice calls over the microphone urging the "Tamil makkal (children), Nilgiris makkal" to come running, the music blares announcing the rising of the sun (the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam symbol). Yusuf, the ice-cream seller, waits patiently for a break in the music to blow his own horn. Children run around wearing masks of the Kalaignar (M. Karunanidhi, former Tamil Nadu CM) or eat ice-creams while old men wearing red and black mufflers (the party colours) sit around gossiping. The candidate, former Union telecom minister A. Raja, is expected to arrive any moment. Surprisingly, it's not just the DMK men who have gathered, supporters of the state's ruling party, the AIADMK, are also there. The Badaga community, which has a sizable population in the Nilgiris, were once staunch supporters of the Congress, but are now divided in their political leanings three ways.
Raja may be an accused in the 2G spectrum case but it's not really an issue in Kenthala or in neighbouring Coonoor. What weighs on everyone's mind is the disqualification of the BJP candidate, S. Gurumurthy (the party was set on contesting seven seats in Tamil Nadu but is now only there in six). Gurumurthy had forgotten to submit form A and B to the returning agent and was instantly disqualified. The big question for the cadres and supporters of the BJP and its numerous allies, MDMK, PMK and DMDK, is who to vote for now. Says K. Lokhanathan, a writer in a tea warehouse, "Ten days ago, the DMK was sure to win, but now the AIADMK has a chance because the BJP voters, stuck without a candidate, will cast their votes in that direction." But there are others dismissive of Lokhanathan's claim, "It is Raja who will claim victory in the Nilgiris. He has been serving the people. We need a man like him." An argument erupts as to who paid off Gurumurthy—was it the DMK or the AIADMK? (The embarrassed BJP state unit has formed a committee and is investigating the matter. Gurumurthy was summoned before the committee to give an explanation.)
The man on the microphone is still highlighting Raja's achievements: "How many people were holding mobile phones before Raja became minister? Every household has numerous phones now, each of us have a telephone...me and my brother too." Murugan, from Kotagiri, is waiting for the bus, but he nods in agreement and says they don't need freebies from Jayalalitha. "Freebies are for beggars. We want water and employment in this area, not mixies and grinders. Our youth are running away to other states or to the big cities." A few minutes later, Raja arrives in an open jeep and crackers are burst to welcome him. People press closer to his vehicle and he addresses the crowd about his achievements—one is that the Nilgiris does not suffer from power cuts like the rest of Tamil Nadu—before he moves on.
The Nilgiris does seem like a pampered constituency, at least on the surface. There are indeed no long hours of power cuts, CM J. Jayalalitha often rushes to her home here in Kodanad and carries out her constitutional duties from there. (Last year, she was even criticised by the opposition for spending almost a month here, away from Chennai). The two AIADMK members nominated to the RS early this year, Selvaraj and Arjunan, are from this constituency. Ideally, it should be a cakewalk for the Coonoor Municipality chairman, C. Gopalakrishnan, the AIADMK candidate. But on the ground it's 'Spectrum' Raja who looks like having the edge.
Ask the people in Coonoor and their anger against the chief minister and the AIADMK councillors (perceived as having done nothing for the locality) comes as a surprise. Says Ponnuswamy (name changed), an auto driver, "Jayalalitha is a liar. Who is bothered about Raja's case? Even Jayalalitha has assets which are disproportionate. We are not bothered about all that, we are only asking that these politicians do something for us."
The Ambedkar colony three kms from Coonoor town has 2,500 residents in 875 houses. It's besieged by a plethora of problems—water scarcity, bad sanitation, crumbling walls, land record issues, unemployment. Says a resident, "The councillor from the AIADMK hasn't visited us in the past three years. When we call him, he says he's in Chennai. Raja came here a few days ago and he has promised to ensure that we get water if he is elected. We were promised mixie, grinder etc by Jayalalitha but we haven't got any of these things. We have been completely ignored. There are just two public toilets for men and two for women here...even here there is no water." Hilda Balan, a 28-year-old pregnant woman with a three-year-old on her hip, has more woes to add. Tucked away at the end of the colony near an open drain, her house crumbled down three years ago. She's now living in a tin shed without electricity or water. She had approached the authorities but no one was bothered. As for AIADMK candidate Gopalakrishnan, let alone seeing him, no one seems to know anything about him.
The Nilgiris constituency is composed of three assembly segments in the plains (from three different districts—Mettupalayam, Satyamangalam and Avinashi) and three in the hills—Udhagamandalam, Coonoor and Gudalur. A BJP leader who didn't want to be quoted feels the people of Gudalur will vote for Raja as he's built a college in the area. Even as analysts speculate which way the voters who favoured the BJP and its allies will vote, Raja seems sure of a victory. The DMK party has already added Nilgiris as a seat to its winning column.
Thank you to all those who have taken the trouble to read the article and share their thoughts. Out of the arguments made here, there are two that perhaps need answering. So here they go.
1. The first part of the article compares outcomes (relative percentages of population of the religions concerned) irrespective of the process that led to those outcomes - whether immigration, relatively faster population growth or conversions. This was for two reasons. One, to put the figure of 2.3 per cent in "numerical perspective", as the article itself explained. The second reason was that outcomes are ultimately what the crux of debate is about. The rest of the article in any case dealt with process - or conversions in this case, from both a contemporary and historical perspective.
2. Some commenters have tried to cast doubts on the reliability of Census 2001. Those who do this should bear in mind that Census 2001 was conducted by a BJP government. Considering the extreme importance that BJP gives to this issue, it would be reasonable to expect that IF it had perceived a problem with the methodology that was distorting the numbers, it would have fixed it. As the article mentioned, BJP or BJP-supported governments have been in power for 10 of the last 40 years, or about a quarter of the time, and the only reasonable conclusion one can arrive at is that any misreporting of numbers, real or perceived, would be marginal and hence, not of importance.
To all other arguments made, my answer is the following: Please read the article again, with particular focus on the quotations of Vivekananda and Monier Williams, and the history of the missionary efforts in Bengal and their outcome.
If Modi can get away with Rs 1 for land to the Tatas and Abanis, why not Raja?

text: Thieves Rip Off $35K From MH370 Passenger Accounts Suspects have been identified: police chief By Arden Dier, Newser Staff Posted Aug 15, 2014 9:32 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (13) (Newser) – Some $35,000 has been withdrawn from the bank accounts of four passengers aboard the lost Malaysia Airlines Flight 370—and no, authorities don't believe the passengers are alive and spending big. Malaysia's Star reports fraudsters funneled funds from three passengers' accounts into a fourth, then moved the money via Internet transfer to an account "believed to be that of one of the suspects," police said. The culprits then "made ATM withdrawals ... until the account was empty," an investigator said, adding "we are now trying to trace the identity of the suspect who opened that account." A police chief's words seemed at odds with that statement yesterday, however. "We have identified the suspects involved and are gathering more evidence before we take further action," he said. The investigator also noted he had not ruled out the possibility of an inside job. The identities of those targeted have not been released, but the Independent reports the crime went down in July, with withdrawals beginning mid-month, and all the accounts are believed to be with HSBC. The culprits could face 10 years in jail or a fine of about $50,000 under Malaysia's Computer Crimes Act.

Atrixx is the most recent iPhone/iPad app created by Newtown High School freshmen Brendan Gregory, who has been interested in programming since seventh grade.
As described by Brendan, Atrixx has the player shoot at enemies from a ship. The player survives for as long as he or she can.
The hockey team and Chess Club member said he first started writing programs in seventh grade, when as a member of the Gifted and Talented Educational Students (GATES) he was tasked with creating and completing a yearlong project. Brendan chose programming.
Since then, Brendan says he has created computer programs and other iPhone and iPad apps. His previous iPhone creations were an unit converter called Mega Math, a fortune teller called Pocket Geeni, and CAIP (Conversational Artificial Intelligence Program).
When starting work on Atrixx, Brendan said he was looking for something challenging.
"I wanted to make a game," said Brendan.
Atrixx is free, but there are things inside the app that users can purchase.
Brendan said he does all of his programming on his MacBook Pro using a program called Xcode.
Atrixx has 20 levels, multiple kinds of enemies, and the ability for users to upgrade their ship. One piece of advice for users from the programmer is destroy red enemies quickly, because they can shoot in eight different directions.
When asked why he finds programming interesting, Brendan said, "It's challenging, it makes me think critically, it's fun, and it's rewarding."
Extra reward comes when Brendan can show his completed projects to friends, he said.
Atrixx is available through Apple's App Store by searching for "Atrixx."

Jurassic Park (1993) – Directed by Steven Spielberg – Starring Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Richard Attenborough, Joseph Mazzello, Ariana Richards, Samuel L. Jackson, Bob Peck, Martin Ferrero, B.D. Wong, and Wayne Knight.
JURASSIC PARK is the quintessential summer blockbuster. Full of great characters, ideas, and story, it's a highly quotable visual spectacle that leaves you on an emotional high. PARK is both easily consumable and incredibly satisfying.
My favorite scene in the film – and one of my favorite scenes in any film – comes when Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) first arrive on the island. Dr. John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) has picked them up at the copter landing spot and is wheeling them towards his big park's HQ when they see their first dinosaurs. Spielberg masterfully builds to the moment, showing Grant's eye-popping reaction shot, followed by Sattler's eye-popping reaction shot, and then finally turning his camera around to show us a massive, magnificent Brachiosaurus eating from the top of a tree. John Williams' score swells as the camera widens to show more and more dinosaurs moving around a pond. Grant and Sattler's pure disbelief at what they're experiencing when they see the dinos for the first time is like a grown up kid seeing everything they've always dreamed about in the flesh.
The beauty of this scene and the impact it has on Grant and Sattler always gets to me, and I always well up a bit at this moment. I was one of those kids who loved dinosaurs, who read everything I could about them, who endlessly imagined what it would be like to see one of them. The idea of dinosaurs walking the Earth again is, as an idea, an incredibly powerful one, and is, as an idea, something I wholly embrace.
Whether it's an idea that should come to pass is, of course, the philosophical question at the heart of JURASSIC PARK.
Spielberg deftly weaves this question into the movie. Much like the Michael Crichton book the film is based on (Crichton gets a co-screenwriting credit alongside David Koepp), it's Ian Malcolm who gets to pose the toughest questions about the existence of the enterprise, and Malcolm speaks in such a clipped, insightful manner that while his questions are profound, he doesn't come across as pretentious. Well, okay, he does come off as pretentious, but disarmingly so; Malcolm is the kind of know-it-all jerk that you end up liking because he's also just self-deprecating enough to make himself not only tolerable, but oddly likable.
Malcolm is completely in love with himself; his entire "rock star" persona is designed to front an image that he's the coolest guy in the room, and he's got the smarts to intellectually battle anyone who wants to challenge him.
Hammond has brought Grant, Sattler, and Malcom to his island because a worker was killed during a Velociraptor transporting accident. The island's insurance company and its investors are worried enough that they know want experts to come in and sign off on the park. Company lawyer Donald Gennaro (Martin Ferrero) joins them, and to Hammond's surprise it's Gennaro who sides with Hammond and the three scientists who line up against him after they take a mini-tour and see the birth of a raptor in captivity. Malcolm's disagreement is philosophical, as he doesn't think Hammond has earned the power he now wields: "You stood on the shoulders of giants and took the next step."
It's a bit of a weak argument, as this is what scientists have been doing for ages. A far more compelling question is raised when he asks Hammond, "Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."
While they don't spend an inordinate amount of screen time together, Hammond and Grant are set up as dino-loving opposites. Both of the men love the idea of dinosaurs being back, but where Hammond plunges ahead to make that reality a possibility without full recognition or concern for the consequences, Grant sees the inherent danger (both philosophically and physically) in bringing extinct animals back to life.
Hammond urges them to hold off their final judgment until they take the tour, but as further proof that Hammond is just a big kid with a billionaire's bank account, he thinks it's a grand idea to invite his grandkids along for the tour. Lex and Tim (Ariana Richards and Joseph Mazzello) aren't bad kids, but they're kids, and Alan Grant doesn't like kids. So, of course, the film is going to pair Grant with the kids.
Hammond piles the 3 scientists, 2 kids, and 1 laywer into decked-out Ford Explorers and sends them into the park proper. The first stop is the Dilophosaurus area, but they don't show up. The next stop is the Tyrannosaur paddock, but she doesn't show up, either. At this point everyone is starting to get frustrated. In the control room, Hammond and engineer Ray Arnold (Samuel L. Jackson) are busy monitoring everything in the park. Dennis Nedry (Wayne Knight), the computer programmer, is around, too, being a general nuisance. Nedry is planning to steal the dinosaur DNA for a rival company.
Complicating everything (and excellently raising the level of tension in the film), is an approaching storm that has narly everyone working on the island exiting on a departing boat. The storm creates several positives for the film. First, it gets all of the non-essential (to the plot) characters off the island. Second, it raises the tension by creating a sense of foreboding before things go awry with the dinosaurs, and third, it creates one heck of a massive rain storm to make the first night's action sequences even more dramatic.
Before that storm hits, however, we've got a really powerful scene with a sick Triceratops. Bored with the tour, everyone ends up piling out of the Explorers when they see the sick dino. Grant leads the way to the animal, and it's a fantastic scene for several reasons. It gives us a one-to-one, physical interaction between man and dinosaur, which allows us to fully grasp how big these animals are as well as feel that they're real creatures and not just beautiful CGI renderings. Like Grant, the Triceratops was always my favorite as a kid, too. The sequence also shows us the scientists in action, and narratively serves to split Sattler from Grant.
With Sattler sticking behind to help with the Triceratops, Grant, Malcolm, the kids, and the lawyer head back to the Explorers. On their way back to HQ, Nedry shuts the power off, which stalls the vehicles. While they're waiting for the power to come back on, the Tyrannosaur shows up and gives us the film's signature action sequence as the T-Rex takes on the two Explorers.
It is a magical sequence as the T-Rex sniffs and nudges and roars outside the kids' Explorer. The kids are too scared to keep still, which gets the T-Rex to attack their Explorer to get at them, and forces Grant and Malcolm to get out of their Explorer to help. It's as iconic a sequence as you'll find in a popcorn flick, and every bit as good as Spielberg's best and most iconic moments in Raiders of the Lost Ark and Jaws.
By the end of this first encounter with the T-Rex, Gennaro is dead, Malcolm is severely injured, and Grant, Lex, and Tim have fled deeper into the park.
Kids can often be so annoying that they ruin a film like this with all their shrieking and wailing and stupidity, but Lex and Tim make fine additions to JURASSIC PARK, and provide a strong narrative arc for Grant. It's a bit simplistic to think he can go from hating kids to loving kids over the course of a day running away from dinosaurs, but Spielberg doesn't shove it in our faces. The growth comes naturally over the course of the film, and Lex and Tim prove capable of taking care of themselves.
The film is full of great action sequences beyond the initial T-Rex sequence: Nedry vs. the Dilophosaurus, Muldoon (Bob Peck) vs. the Velociraptors, the kids vs. the Velociraptors, and the T-Rex vs. the Velociraptors. There's also some less violent moments, too, such as when Grant and the kids wind up in the middle of a Gallimimus stampede. All of the dinosaurs are gorgeous to look at and it's somewhat surprising that 19 years after the film hit the theaters (God I'm getting old), the dinosaurs still look every bit as incredible as they first did. I bet I've listened to John Williams score to this film more than I've listened to his Star Wars score, as the main JURASSIC PARK theme is every bit as good as the Star Wars theme, but even more uplifting.
JURASSIC PARK is a magnificent movie, as close to cinematic perfection as you can get. Breathtaking, action-packed, funny, full of great characters, great music, and a simple, but satisfying horror story, JURASSIC PARK is one of the most-watched films in my collection. Every time I watch it I get sucked into it all over again. I've always loved dinosaurs but they're special to my childhood more than my adulthood. Just the idea that there were these massive creatures roaming the Earth millions upon millions of years before humans was fascinating, as was the idea (as cheeky as it might sound now) that dinosaurs were nowhere in the Bible. Dinosaurs offered an alternative narrative of the history of the planet that we were learning at Sunday morning mass and in CCD classes. Loving them led to learning about them, and learning about them led to questions about God and church and the history of life itself. As a kid, of course, this manifests as the tried-and-true, "Why are there no dinosaurs in the Bible?" question, but not getting a satisfactory answer led to more questions and more questions and the idea that what I was being taught was perhaps not the truth.
But really, I liked dinosaurs because they were big and awesome and cool-looking, and more than anything else I've ever seen, JURASSIC PARK recaptures that sense of wonder.

Statement from Minister Paradis: World AIDS Day
December 1, 2013
Around the world, more than 35 million people are living with HIV/AIDS—95 percent of them in low- and middle-income countries. Of the 6,300 new HIV infections that occurred every day in 2012, approximately 5,500 were adults. A remarkable 39 percent of them were between 15 and 24 years old, and nearly half were women, compounding the gender inequality and discrimination that continue to hobble national efforts to scale up HIV services to those people most in need.
At the 2010 Muskoka Summit, Canada joined other G-8 member states in reaffirming its commitment to coming "as close as possible" to universal access to prevention, treatment and care for people living with HIV/AIDS, as part of developing-country-led efforts to achieve this objective. In 2011, UN member states agreed to a 2015 target of reaching 15 million people with HIV treatment in recognition of the severity of the global HIV/AIDS epidemic and its impact.
Canada is a long-standing and active player in the global HIV/AIDS response. Since 2001, Canada has contributed more than $1.5 billion to the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. With contributions from Canada and other donors, Global Fund programs provide antiretroviral therapy to 5.3 million people living with HIV in developing countries. Canada has also been a strong supporter of the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) since it began in 1996.
Recent figures from UNAIDS show that by the end of 2012, 9.7 million people in low- and middle-income countries had access to antiretroviral therapy—an increase of nearly 20 percent in just one year. Compared to 2001, there was an astounding 33-percent drop in the number of new infections among adults and children combined, including a 52-percent reduction in new HIV infections among children. These decreases are due to sustained efforts to improve access to effective treatments, strengthen health systems, and deliver preventative programs and public awareness campaigns.
Canada is also involved in the prevention of mother-to-child HIV transmission, as part of maternal, newborn and child health. In Tanzania, 71 percent of HIV-positive pregnant women now have access to treatment, which prevents transmission to their babies—a sharp increase of more than 34 percent in 2008.
In partnership with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Government of Canada supports the Canadian HIV Vaccine Initiative—a $139-million initiative to help develop an affordable and globally accessible HIV vaccine and prevent the transmission of HIV between mothers and their children. Canada is helping to leverage research, advanced technology, and innovation to develop an effective vaccine.
On World AIDS Day, I am proud to say that Canada remains committed to working with our partners and developing countries to combat HIV/AIDS around the world to continue building on the remarkable progress we have made over the last few years.

Realistic fiction for teens has a reputation for harshness and grittiness. In teen fiction, no subject is taboo. Sex, drugs, violence - it is all there in black and white.
This is not a 21st century trend, either. As far back as the 1970s when teen-oriented fiction was a novelty, reality in all its grim guises was not sugar-coated or negated.
The anonymous and now classic "Go Ask Alice" with its graphic depiction of a teenage girl's descent into drug addiction, and Judy Blume's "Forever" with its frank portrayal of teens and sex, are notable examples. ...

A former "America's Got Talent" contestant was arrested over Labor Day weekend in College Station, according to police.
Officials said the incident began as a noise complaint at an apartment complex.
When officers arrived, they said 21-year-old Eric Nikolaides became angry and charged at them.
Police said when Nikolaides was handcuffed he tried head butting an officer in the leg. He then attempted to bite the officer.
Nikolaides was charged with resisting arrest.

That runs so counter to what many women are told in corporate America, which is to not show weakness.
Surely at some point, some corporate leader or leaders will step forward and say enough.
Forty years later, corporate America beholds the monster it created.
Today, a handful of corporate behemoths, including Activision and Electronic Arts, control the retail landscape.
Her presence at an international conference on corporate and business ethics seems odd to Jimmy.
The growth of a stable, complex, and continuous social order implies the formation of a corporate memory.
We do not easily realise the corporate character of life in those days.
Other organizations of workingmen have themselves felt the oppressive hand of corporate capital.
I feel as if I were part of a corporate body, which leads to misplaced decorum.
We have given this instance to show the direct influence of this corporate power over the president.

'I controlled anxiety and you can too'Comment on this story
London - So far, it hasn't been the best week for the female of the species. Researchers in the US say there is no real evidence that a diet rich in red wine and chocolate is good for you (they're lying, obviously).
And, the Mental Health Foundation published a report saying that anxiety among women has increased significantly since 2009.
Note the language here: "anxiety", not depression. The two are not the same thing.
And I should know. Because a few years ago I was diagnosed with something called "generalised anxiety disorder".
I know, it sounds as if one of those silly made-up syndromes designed to legitimise something that essentially amounts to being a bit useless.
But the only reason I ended up with this diagnosis was because I was exhibiting some very real and uncharacteristic symptoms.
Having always been a lazybones, I began waking early, worried about everything and nothing in particular.
I developed a slight buzzing in my ears, as though a small insect with a very urgent appointment were struggling to get out. Sometimes, I would get a big lump in my throat, which sort of sat on my chest and made it hard to breathe.
My fingers would start to swell up, and I felt as if I needed to plunge my body in cold water. I had lots to do but never seemed to get anything done.
I went to see my GP, who assured me I wasn't dying (health fears are another symptom) and referred me to a nice lady who explained that I wasn't mad at all; I was just very, very worried - about the children, my career, my husband's career, the yobbos hanging round outside our house, the world's bees dying out, asteroids falling from space - you name it: general anxiety disorder.
Anxiety, she said, was a healthy human reaction to danger. But if a person, for whatever reason (and I'm sure these latest numbers are at least partly related to the financial crash of 2008/9), finds themself in a series of highly stressful situations, the panic button can get stuck. Women especially are prone to this, since they are natural multi-taskers. Just as they juggle their busy lives, they also juggle their worries.
Men, by contrast, are much better at compartmentalisation. It's not that they worry less; it's just that they don't worry about all the worries all the time. Anyway, the good news is there are things you can do to break the cycle. The key for me was training myself not to worry about things I can't control; and learning to live in the moment.
People call this mindfulness, and it is all the rage on the mental wellness scene. But don't let that put you off, because it really works.
I was recently on an aircraft that got caught in a very strong crosswind. It was a seriously bumpy ride; in fact, the pilot made two aborted landings before diverting elsewhere. I won't pretend I wasn't shaken. But, to my surprise, I wasn't nearly as hysterical as I might have been. This was because, as the craft flipped wildly from side to side, I focused on the land below, admiring the beauty of the landscape and simply refusing to let my brain play out the consequences of hitting the Tarmac at 150 miles an hour.
Every time my mind tried to press the panic button, I gently but firmly guided it away. After all, there was no point: I couldn't control the wind and I wasn't flying the plane. That makes it sound as if I've turned into some weird, ultra-rational Mr Spock character; I haven't.I can be just as batty as I've ever been (just ask my husband).
But I know how to clear my mind. It doesn't always work, of course. But it helps a lot.
Daily Mail
The High Court in Pretoria has ruled that murder accused Oscar Pistorius should undergo a psychiatric evaluation to determine whether he had been affected by mental illness, specifically Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), when he shot and killed his girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp in February last year.
The South African Depression and Anxiety Group (SADAG) says there has been an increase in misunderstanding about mental illnesses like GAD. "People who suffer from GAD are becoming scared of stigma and the reaction of others, and concerned that they or a loved one are potentially dangerous", says SADAG's Operations Director Cassey Chambers in a statement.
SADAG said anxiety was often misunderstood. While it is perfectly normal to feel anxious from time to time, particularly when you live in a stressful environment, severe, ongoing anxiety that interferes with your daily functioning is not healthy.
"GAD is a persistent, intense and excessive worrying of such severity that it interferes with someone's functioning", says Johannesburg psychologist Kevin Bolon.
When you worry about everything, and your worrying takes up so much time and energy that you start slipping in your work and social responsibilities, there is a problem.
"My worries consume me some days and I feel anxious even when there's no reason to", says Lara, a 33-year-old GAD sufferer. "I often have this overwhelming feeling that something terrible is going to happen - my family and friends just don't get it."
Anxiety doesn't go away on its own - and can get worse over time, so the earlier it is treated, the better, SADG says.
More than twice as many women as men are diagnosed with GAD (which doesn't mean that men don't suffer from GAD). Childhood trauma, chronic illness, stress, and genetics (anxiety may run in families) are some of the risk factors for GAD.
Living with Generalised Anxiety Disorder can be a long-term challenge. "It causes people to be hyperaware of possible dangers like illness, personal security, and possible natural disasters, and see things as more serious or dangerous than they actually are", says Bolon. It can also lead to, or worsen, other mental and physical health conditions, like depression, insomnia, substance abuse, headaches, and stomach pain.
In order to be diagnosed with Generalised Anxiety Disorder, there are certain criteria that must be met, including:
* excessive anxiety and worry most days of the week for at least six months
* difficulty controlling feelings of worry
* anxiety that causes distress or interferes with daily life.
* feelings of restlessness, fatigue, inability to concentrate, muscle tension or problems sleeping.
"GAD is a very uncomfortable and stressful condition", says Bolon, but he stresses that the condition is not dangerous. Anxiety is an introspective issue and sufferers of GAD are highly unlikely to be dangerous to others.
Anxiety disorders like Generalised Anxiety Disorder are highly treatable and there are many treatment options available - therapy, medication and support groups play an important role as well as lifestyle changes.
SADAG has an extensive referral list and information available on their website www.sadag.org . The counselling centre can be contacted on 0800 21 22 23 or 0800 567 567, 7 days a week from 8am to 8pm. - IOL
