"Then I hear it. The sound of the piano. And what's more, as if it's drifting up through time as well as space, the piece being played is Brahms' 'Rhapsody No 2' in G minor."
December, 1989. While Margaret is visiting her sister and her husband at Blackheath Vicarage for a family Christmas, she finds the diary she kept during a school exchange visit to Germany in the summer of 1954. Painful memories from that time come flooding back when she hears a Brahms rhapsody being played on the piano by Jonathan, a consultant at the local hospital.
At the age of 17, she believed she had found the love of her life when a young pianist, Peter, kissed her and quoted poetry to her. But the traumatic events that followed changed her life forever. Now, 35 years later, emotional feelings she thought she had suppressed for ever are once again awoken as she begins to fall in love with Jonathan. As the family gathers to celebrate Christmas and the New Year, it appears that her sister's marriage is beginning to crumble.
While Margaret's story is unfolding, the Soviet Union is collapsing. Ceausescu and his wife are executed in Romania, Havel becomes president of Czechoslovakia and the border dividing East and West Germany has come down, emphasising the pointlessness of the ever-changing divisions and alliances between peoples.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
Over New Year's weekend, many of you watched bowl games on TV. You watched as the same play was repeated again in slow motion then again in slow motion but with computer generated chalk marks keying you in on important components you probably missed. You poured beer and chips down the hatch while listening to ceaseless commentary and play by plays. You relived the same moments over and over until something else worth repeating indefinitely occurred. I did not. I cleaned and rearranged my room, got my oil changed and actually read a book, (gasp!). I'd like to think that my New Year's weekend was more productive than those who sat on their butt cheeks and grew some roots to watch umpteen bowl games.I did not go to a college with a football program so I never developed a strong connection with college football. My high school friends went to UGA but I never got to attend a game during my visits to Athens. I don't know how many bowls there are and who's playing in which one. It's simply another constructed world that I have little contact with. And before you go on in disbelief at my words or say I'm not a man, let me give you my own sports commentary. It's like listening to a foreign language hearing my friends talk about recent games. I don't speak the language so I just wait the conversations out while acting like I'm passively involved in them, giving a nod or two. If they figure out I'm clueless about football then I fear being thought of as a wimpy "Nancy boy." So what if I don't care to watch football on TV and keep up with statistics that have no bearing on my life. Does that have to mean I'd rather philosophize all day? No. For starters I have been a great snow skier since I was a kid and I have run the Peachtree Road race with my dad a number of times. I was very psychically active as a child. Athleticism and physical exercise are certainly necessary for a healthy living and should be rewarded. I have nothing but respect for athletes and their various talents. I see athletes every week on assignment for the newspaper and it would be hard for me to ignore their efforts as I record them with my camera. In fact shooting sports is always fun because there is a real thrill in catching one single extraordinary moment in time. It's a challenge because a great play will not recur. With TV there are hundreds of cameras to assure that the footage will recur over and over again to fill space and time on cable sports networks. The same bit of action will be played over and over but from every conceivable angle. Historic sports photos or any great photos still have great appeal because viewers realize that the photo was clicked in one single instant - what Henri Cartier-Bresson called the "decisive moment." Video footage of the same event may be great but arguably less difficult to achieve results since the camera is constantly rolling. Sports are of interest to me, just not on TV. I can't get enthralled by a sports event unless I'm really there. It wasn't until I went to my first NASCAR race on assignment that I grew a special place in my heart for all those crazy hootin' and hollering fans. I don't care if you do have a big screen and surround sound certified by George Lucas himself, those revving engines and equally ear-deafening fans atop thousands of RV's just won't sound the same unless your really there.

|Effects of chronic lithium treatment on renal function.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20483164 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|INTRODUCTION: Lithium treatment is associated with renal side effects which vary from mild nephrogenic diabetes insipidus to end stage renal disease (ESRD). A review of the literature suggests that ESRD is a very rare side effect, caused after very long-term lithium treatment, and that it might be preventable if lithium is stopped early.
METHODS: Sixty-one patients were treated with lithium for a mean of 15.6 years (range 3-32, SD=6.4). Their kidney function was monitored at an Affective Disorders Clinic for a mean of 11.5 years (range 2-29, SD=5.4). We estimated their glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) at the end of monitoring. As a control group we used 53 patients who received ECT at our hospital, and had not taken lithium, and nine patients from the same clinic who were taking other mood-stabilisers.
RESULTS: Lithium patients had lower eGFR compared to controls: 66.1 vs. 75.0 mL/min/1.73 m2, p=0.0006 after controlling for age and gender. The percentage of patients with an eGFR<60 ml/min/1.73 m2 (grade 3 chronic kidney disease) was 34.4%, vs. 13.1% in the controls, and was much increased compared to the general population in the respective age ranges. There was a modest but non-significant correlation between the number of years that patients had taken lithium and their eGFR, (beta=-0.177, B=-0.43, p=0.1). One patient reached an eGFR of 28 mL/min/1.73 m2 and her lithium was stopped. One patient required dialysis 6 years after leaving the clinic.
CONCLUSIONS: Lithium causes a modest decline in renal function. However the available research suggests that ESRD is a very rare complication of long-term lithium treatment, affecting ∼1% of patients who have taken lithium for over 15 years.

|Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Meropenem in Elderly Chinese with Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: Population Pharmacokinetics Analysis Using Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Modelling and Clinical Pharmacodynamics Study.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 22037385 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|BACKGROUND: Meropenem is a broad-spectrum antibacterial that is usually used in the treatment of serious lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs). However, there is a lack of published studies exploring the correlation between the population pharmacokinetics of meropenem, the clinical pharmacodynamics of the drug and the response to the drug in Chinese patients with LRTIs, especially in the elderly. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to develop a pharmacokinetic model of meropenem using patient data and use this to explore the clinical pharmacodynamics of meropenem in the treatment of LRTIs in elderly Chinese patients. METHODS: We measured serum meropenem concentrations in patients who had received meropenem 0.5 or 1.0 g infused over 0.5 hours every 8 or 12 hours, respectively. The pharmacokinetic analysis of meropenem was performed using nonlinear mixed-effects modelling (NONMEM) software. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of meropenem against Gram-negative bacilli was tested by the E-test method. The pharmacodynamic parameters of percentage of time above MIC (%T>MIC), the ratio of the drug area under the serum concentration-time curve to MIC (AUC/MIC), the ratio of the maximum serum concentration of the drug to MIC (Cmax/MIC) and the ratio of the minimum serum concentration of the drug to MIC (Cmin/MIC) were analysed for their association with clinical and bacteriological outcomes. RESULTS: A total of 284 serum meropenem concentration measurements were obtained from 75 patients (aged 63-95 years). A two-compartment model fitted the concentration data best. The covariates creatinine clearance (CLCR) and Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score had the most significant effects on meropenem pharmacokinetics. Forty-five patients were enrolled in the pharmacodynamic study, including 25 clinical responders and 21 patients with bacteriological eradication. All of the 45 patients had Gram-negative bacilli isolated from tracheal aspirate or sputum. The %T>MIC, AUC/MIC, Cmax/MIC and Cmin/MIC values for the 25 clinical responders were significantly higher than those for the nonresponders (all p < 0.05). However, logistic regression analysis showed that only %T>MIC independently influenced clinical outcome (p = 0.001, odds ratio [OR] = 1.065). The cut-off value for predicting clinical success using %T>MIC was 76%; the sensitivity and specificity of %T>MIC for predicting a successful response were 84% and 85%, respectively. The %T>MIC, AUC/MIC, Cmax/MIC and Cmin/MIC values, and the serum level of albumin, for the 21 patients with bacteriological eradication were significantly higher than those for patients with bacteriological treatment failure (all p < 0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that %T>MIC (p = 0.008, OR = 1.047) and serum level of albumin (p = 0.033, OR = 1.434) independently influenced bacteriological eradication. CONCLUSIONS: To our knowledge, this is the first study to investigate the population pharmacokinetics and clinical pharmacodynamics of meropenem in elderly Chinese. CLCR and APACHE II score have significant influences on meropenem pharmacokinetics. In LRTI patients, the cut-off value of 76% for %T>MIC can be applied to optimize their meropenem dose regimen to achieve clinical success.

Debra Fordham, a supervising producer for the television series, told Playbill.com, "I specifically wrote this part for [D'Abruzzo] after seeing her in I Love You Because this spring, so to actually have her here in person playing it is just amazing to me. She's been here for a week-and–a-half now and she's just fabulous — personally and professionally. I couldn't be more thrilled."
Fordham previously told Playbill.com that Avenue Q's Tony-winning composers, Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, have penned several songs for the musical episode. "The general plot," said Fordham, "is that a woman comes into Sacred Heart, our hospital, complaining that she constantly hears music, yet all her tests come back normal. Is she just crazy? Or is something else going on?"
"Scrubs," according to the show's official website, "focuses on the strange experiences of J.D., a medical resident, as he continues on his healing career in a surreal hospital crammed full of unpredictable staffers and patients — where humor and tragedy can merge paths at any time." Zach Braff portrays Dr. John "J.D." Dorian, and the cast also features Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Neil Flynn, Ken Jenkins, John C. McGinley and Judy Reyes. Bill Lawrence is the executive producer of the Emmy-nominated series; Will McKenzie will direct the musical episode.

To the Dutchess County Housing Consortium - which coordinated a census to count the homeless in Dutchess County. The data is turned over to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, which uses the information to calculate funding for housing grants. But the census-taking also was used to help link the homeless with services that can help.
Homeless people could receive a health screening and learn about services offered by the county Health Department and Division of Veterans Services; Grace Smith House, which provides support for domestic violence victims; and Path Stone, a housing agency. The Family Partnership Center in Poughkeepsie held "Glamour Day" in conjunction with the census, which offered free haircuts, shaves and hairstyling.
Tallies were taken during a weekly free meal served at Beulah Baptist Church in Poughkeepsie and at the Salvation Army in Beacon and at shelters throughout Dutchess last week.
To the Town of Hyde Park's positive move in initiating a public workshop called "Hyde Park Walks." The officials and the people of Hyde Park are putting together a vision for a more walkable community - and having a vision is essential to seeing things get done.
The Town Board will hear recommendations from a volunteer team that has worked for eight months to come up with ways to improve the town's sidewalks.
Hyde Park was chosen from among several municipal applicants to receive assistance from the Poughkeepsie-Dutchess County Transportation Council to evaluate the town's sidewalks and create a plan to make the towns' commercial centers more pedestrian-friendly.
To the third annual Beacon Film Festival - Freeze Frame, which is set in The Beacon, a 700-seat theater on Main Street that first opened in 1934. The film festival will screen 21 films and celebrates the Hudson Valley's deep connections to the film industry. Stirring interest in the regional film industry can also spur the economy.
"The main thrust of our film festival is to bring attention to talented people that are filmmakers of the Hudson Valley, in three different genres - music videos, feature films and documentaries," said Kim Elizabeth, director of the Beacon Film Festival - Freeze Frame. "The whole thing is to generate excitement about the Hudson Valley." The festival runs Feb. 7-10. Information on the schedule and tickets can be found at: http://www.thebeacontheatre.org/freeze-frame-film-festival/.

By the way, I did a quick pixel measure on the lightened image from page 10 of this thread. If the middle "jar" structure contains the bridge (seems like it has the same lights as the set pictures), that measures about 100 px. The entire primary hull is 1800 px across, or 18 times as wide. So, if you put the bridge at, say, a liberal 20m diameter, the hull is 360m across.
Anyway, if Vengeance "twice as big" as the Enterprise, that would downscale the ship to about the size of the TMP refit (in fact, your diagram above shows the length of the Enterprise is roughly the same as Vengeance's saucer).
BUT, if you look at the scene where Vengeance is crushing Alcatraz, the "death ball" is roughly the size of the lighthouse, which is 27m tall. I measure the starboard one to be about 65 or 70 px, which suggests about 0.4m/px. So, an 1800px diameter would be just under 900m. But that would make that central structure almost 50m wide.
Looks like the graphic artists are taking liberties again...

23rd Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game
23rd Most Memorable Chicago Bears Game since 1979
Bears 28, 49ers 27: October 28, 1979
The Bears trailed the 49ers by the score of 27-21 with just moments left in the game. They faced fourth down, ten yards to go from the San Francisco 48-yard line. Chicago quarterback Mike Phipps dropped back and heaved a pass to receiver James Scott, who was streaking open down the right sideline. Scott galloped in for the touchdown, and after Bob Thomas kicked the ensuing extra point, the Bears had sneaked away with a victory over the 1-7 49ers in Bill Walsh's rookie year coaching his team.
Bear running back Walter Payton rushed for 162 yards and three touchdowns on the day. Steve DeBerg, quarterbacking Walsh's west coast offense while rookie third round pick Joe Montana watched, threw for 348 yards and three touchdowns on the Bear defense.
Most memorable about this game was that it turned the Bears' season and launched a four-game winning streak. Chicago finished the first half of the 1979 season with a record on 3-5, and would need a strong finish to have any hope of making the playoffs. The season would be capped with an even more memorable game two months later.

Ariana Grande Teases Her Cover of Wham!'s 'This Christmas': Listen
Ariana Grande is spreading Christmas joy a little early this year by teasing Arianators with a 15-second snippet of her take on Wham!'s holiday classic, "This Christmas," on Tuesday.
The 20-year-old, who shared the preview on Instagram, gave the yuletide tune a pop treatment by replacing the soft jingles and mid-tempo vocals with her strong, sultry voice and up-tempo beats. Using hashtags, the starlet also revealed that the remake was produced by Babyface and The Rascals, the same production crew who worked on her debut album, Yours Truly.
"But it ['This Christmas'] has a melancholy lyric, so I like that, it's interesting and it seems to be one of the favorites that everyone loves and we put a really fun twist on it," Ariana told MTV. "We took the chorus and then we rewrote the verses and all that stuff, very excited."
The "Baby I" singer is scheduled to drop new music, which range from original tracks to Christmas covers, every Tuesday starting November 19 as a countdown to the holidays.
What are your thoughts on Ariana's version of "This Christmas"?

Hi all,
I'm almost certain that two of my Italian ancestors never naturalised in the UK. Pietro Speroni and Rosa Anna Speroni (maiden name Pietronave) are shown in the 1911 census as Italian and not having naturalised.
I have already contacted the National Archives in the UK and they have found no record of naturalisation. However, they do not issue certificates confirming this. I am having trouble finding out who would issue these certificates. I know the UKBA issue these from 1986 onwards but I don't know if they do before this date? Does anyone know?
Official UK document to confirm ancestor never naturalised
Over 25 million Italians have emigrated between 1861 and 1960 with a migration boom between 1871 and 1915 when over 13,5 million emigrants left the country for European and overseas destinations.

Re: Official UK document to confirm ancestor never naturalis
I wrote the UK National Archives and received a letter confirming that they had no record of my great-great-grandfather's naturalization. The letter was on UK National Archives letterhead and explained the specific archives that were searched. I e-mailed the Italian consulate in London, assuming that they probably deal with letters of no record for the UK more often, and they confirmed that the letter that I received is sufficient.

Footloose and fancy free - the bare facts about skiing without skisAlong with the Bucket List of things to do before you die, there should be a 'Duck It' List of things to not do as you drag your sorry carcass to the midlife-crisis mark and beyond.
Eschewing slow horses and fast women are Rules 1 and 2, according to my 90-year-old dad. Refraining from barefoot skiing would be near the top of my own list.
Over Easter we'd barely finished paying homage to the first bloke to go barefoot on water than the Australian Barefoot Racers Club hit town.
Instead of flowing robes, these guys wore padded wetsuits and neckbraces. A speedboat was hauling them along at 160 kmh, at which speed the water could potentially burn the heels of their feet.
How barefooting was probably invented ... skier "Badger" Hextell bites the dust Gary Sakoff
Now, I can relate to the offshore and circuit powerboat racing yarns that populate these pages. I've even ridden shotgun in an F1 Superboat. But the guy who invented barefooting must've either been a very bad conventional skier or as crazy as the first Frenchmen to plop a snail in garlic broth and say bon appetite.
The race is over 350 metres from start line to finish and lasts anywhere from 14 to 25 seconds. The skier perches on the boat's transom and, once the green light shows, they fall off the back while holding onto the ski handle. The boat then accelerates to run out the ski rope.
When the rope is taut the driver belts the throttle to get the barefooter out of the water and across the finish line in a blur of spray.
The tow boats are a mix of monohulls and hydroplanes, powered by anything from supercharged inboards running on methanol to naturally aspirated inboard engines. There are also high-powered outboards.

Republic of the Philippines

So what can you say after seeing this tattoo? Looks familiar right? But you're thinking where you saw it just I did. Well, this tattoo of William Fuchs from Seattle, WA is actually the image/logo of Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas). This one emphasizes his root and heritage without a doubt. To be clear to everyone, he is a half-Filipino and obviously he is very proud of it. You can get a design like this by signing up for the mailing list on pinoytattoos.com.

October- January is probably the best part of the year for me.
As soon as they start putting out the halloween stuff in the shops I'm happy.
I've always been into the things surrounding halloween, witches, bats, eyeballs...
I'd love to, in the future, go to Mexico to join in the day of the dead celebrations.
Saying this, I live in the english countryside- nothing is really done here to celebrate, and as my Dad says "HALLOWEEN IS A FAKE AMERICAN CELEBRATION".
This year though, I couldn't resist dressing up as Edward Scissorhands.
Purely to eat my lunch using only blades.
No I'm not going trick or treating.
(But I secretly want to)
I mean look at him.
This scene was the one I wanted to try out.
Autumn for me is a full on TIM BURTON APPRECIATION TIME.
I need not go into how amazing he is, because most people already know and I swear I mention him in nearly all my blog posts.
Burton marathon tonight!!! eeek.
My sloppy attempt at eating with scissors.
yay you get to hear my voice for the first time!
Halloween moon
a dead rose i've had since valentines day
these are being worn all year round
The dressed down Halloween look- vintage velvet floral dress.
More tacky halloween stock- skeleton straws!
Ok. HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Or HAPPY NOVEMBER TIME.
Watch Tim Burton films,
back comb your hair,
carve a pumpkin,
have a hot drink.

The Life That Past to Fast!!
The Life That Past to Fast!
The years go by so fast,
Memories remain from the past.
You remember the times of good and bad,
the days you wish you'd never had.
the people you wished you never met,
but at the same time wish to never forget.
The time has gone by so quickly,
and now you realize it was never about the jewelry,
but the relationship with your family.
As we inter the faze of life where we search for who we really are,
we find out that we were never really far,
as you strum your last strum on your guitar,
take your last toke of your cigar,
we all realize life is by far way to bizarre.....

Pacific University students and alumni look "upstream" to find solutions to endemic hunger and malnutrition among Oregon's bounty.Jenni Luckett | Editor
"I'm just a super-duper fruity lady."
When she came to Pacific, she planned to study sociology or social work—the "people side" of hunger.
Then, "I had an epiphany one night, when someone was talking about a quince." (That's a fruit similar to an apple or pear, but native to southwest Asia.) "I was having another conversation with someone else, but I kept getting distracted; I was so excited to talk about food."
She signed up for Pacific's permaculture class, became an environmental studies major and ultimately completed her senior project by establishing a gleaning program that collected and donated otherwise unharvested fruit.
Under Glastonbury's direction in October 2011, volunteers completed two harvests, giving the best quality apples and pears to area charities and splitting the rest between the volunteers and the homeowners who donated their fruit.
"I just want to get the fruit in the mouths," rather than rotting on the ground, she said.
She added she would like to see the program continue, expanding to involve the recipients of the donated food in the harvest process and also to include education for fruit tree owners on better tree care, which could lead to more productive harvests.
Both expansions, really, would be part of what Summers said is called "food sovereignty," or the creation and ownership of your own food.
Summers first learned of the notion on a study abroad trip to the Amazon region of Ecuador the summer after her freshman year at Pacific. She said the people who students visited were extremely poor but still never worried about going hungry with the abundance of food produced by the rainforest. As outsiders came in, though—particularly big companies interested in drilling oil, building pipelines or patenting seeds—the people worried about losing their food sovereignty.
In reality, few people in the industrialized world are truly food sovereign, a fact that concerns environmental science Professor Deke Gundersen. He teaches and lives permaculture—a system that mimics nature, both in sustainable food production and in many other social and cultural systems—and worries about the day that fuel stores run out and the food distribution systems we depend on fail.
"Right now, we have really good access to food, and we're still not doing it very well. We can get food from anywhere in the world, and what do we choose to do?" (Eat fast food.)
"I think we need to get back to eating locally, eating what's really available. Once the fossil fuel economy ends, you're not going to be able to have that mango grown in Mexico," he said.
His home in Forest Grove features 18 fruit trees, a myriad of berries, herbs and raised-bed vegetable gardens.

A homeless man in America is about to make more than $145,000 after giving back an engagement ring that was accidently dropped into his cup.
By Declan Whooley
Billy Ray Harris was begging in his usual spot in Kansas City when a passer-by, Sarah Darling, took some coins from her purse and dropped them into the man's cup. Unfortunately for her, she had taken her engagement ring off earlier in the day and placed it in her purse, and this went in with the coins also.
Realising her mistake the following day, she frantically went back to Billy Ray in the hope he still had the ring, and luck was on her side.
"It seemed like a miracle," Miss Darling said. "I thought for sure there was no way I would get it back."
She gave Billy Ray all the money in her purse, while her fiancée set up a website seeking donations for the homeless man, which currently stands at more than $145,000.
"I think in our world we often jump to like the worst conclusion, and it just makes you realise that there are good people out there," she said.
As for Billy Ray himself, he says the reason he returned the ring was because of his religious upbringing.
"My grandfather was a reverend. He raised me from the time I was six months old and thank the good Lord, it's a blessing, but I do still have some character," he said.
A story that has worked out well for all concerned.

To identify groups of carriers that are operating under common management and spreading violations across multiple carriers to avoid being detected as unsafe. The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) requires the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) to require carriers that are operating under common management to declare they are doing so. Carriers will be able to report this using the new MCSA-1 form that is being rolled out by FMCSA as part of the Unified Registration System (URS-1). Carriers who fail to report that they are operating under common management will be identified as chameleons.
Spreading of violations among managed groups was particularly observed among motorcoach operators. There is a growing trend for such commonly managed groups of carriers to share drivers and vehicles. This effectively spreads the violations of those drivers and vehicles among more than one motorcoach carrier, thus improving their Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) Safety Measurement System (SMS) scores.
The goal of this project was to apply an analysis technique that clusters all of the violations of drivers and vehicles for all of the carriers for which they work. This technique identifies the sharing of drivers and vehicles and greatly assists in identifying such sharing among commonly managed carriers. Use of these analysis techniques in the future will help overcome the data shortage about single carriers that is common in SMS. This is because there are a limited number of inspections/crashes attributed explicitly to a chameleon carrier by its U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) number. This research will assist in implementing analysis capabilities for identifying such undeclared chameleon carriers operating as part of a managed group.
A list of commonly managed high-risk carriers was identified by applying the analysis techniques. That list correlated very highly with a list of carriers that were identified by labor-intensive analysis previously completed by the I-95 strike force. The list of carriers identified by FMCSA's analysis also correlates highly with less-predictable ad hoc information that a carrier might be high-risk.
September 2013 Draft final report
January 2015 Final report
Completed. Report under review for possible inclusion in the risk assessment software being developed for the Office of Registration and Safety Information (MC-RS).

This piece first appeared in the Hindustan Times on May 18, 2014.
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.
Congress ran the economy into the ground by minimizing (FISCAL DEFICIT + TRADE DEFICIT) as appropriate to a gold standard economy instead of maximizing ( FISCAL DEFICIT - TRADE DEFICIT) appropriate to fiat money economics.
Modi is repeating the same mistake. India is out of luck!
"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to relive it." Is right. Taxes are not needed to fund the federal govt. It only helps if the govt can increases the tax at the high end which is impossible because the rich own the govt and bribe the politicians and the people are too stupid to object.
For a money creator, DEFICIT means created money. At one time the govt and private sector were on the same side of economic balance and if the govt were in deficit, so did the people. Not any more. The new balance is
FISCAL DEFICIT – TRADE DEFICIT = NET PRIVATE SAVINGS, where FISCAL DEFICIT is created money, created at zero cost and zero interest rate and no debt payments. The fact its name is DEFICIT scares people. Note that FISCAL DEFICIT is the prime mover of the economy. It is supposed to be invested in all commons.At neutral trade, one dollar DEFICIT
adds one dollar to PRIVATE SAVINGS and One dollar of wealth.
This is shown by data in
Comparing the BJP with MIM? You are on to something!.. Anwar.
It is this sort of statements which polarised the Hindus. Muslims terrporise the hindus and all political parties support them. Hindus try to reciprocate, and they become Sanghis. It is time Muslims learn how to behave.
How do we know that Narendra Modi is a visionary leader ?
P.V.Narasimha Rao as Chief Minister of AP proved to be inefficient ,lack luster chief minister who became famous for his flying to Delhi for every single decision ! He sought help from Indira Gandhi for every issue concerning even state administration !!! For example he did not know as to how to handle an issue like separe Telengana state.
But later on, by the end of his political career and his life as well he became Prime Minister of India.
He proved be a visionary beyond criticism. He liberalised economy.Appointed Man Mohan Singh as finance minister. Did away most aspects of licence raj. And ignored Gandhi or Sonia parivar completely and along with them all of their boot lickers and sycophants.
Now Modi became PM on the projection of himself as a great man of development !! and also an euphoric clean administration.
I have great doubts about Mr.Modi's vision of India and his future plans for younger generations of India.
A Prime Minister need not be a great administrator . But he must be a great visionary. For example he or she must be a great visionary to bring administrative reforms rather than being a great administrator himself.
Indira Gandhi thought that green revolution was the key. She went on with nationalisation of banks, achieving self sufficiency in food production early on to her credit. She could also divide a nasty enemy neighbour Pakistan in to two pieces. She thought of making an atom bomb and satellites when people were practically starving for lack of food grain and even when milk production was absymally low.
So was Rajiv Gandhi with his vision for software, super computers when commuinists and BJP argued in parliament against computerization for fear of increased unemployment !!! but he did not listen.Today we know what it means a visionary when so much money is coming in to India because of our younger generation skills of software. We caught it early on, much earlier than Germany ,U.K. or China for example.
What could be the vision of Mr.Narendra Modi? I think he must forget Gujarat Model of development and the hype woven around it. There was no vision ,nothing.
A village sarpanch like strict administration is not an answer for future of India. In a developing country , corrupt administration of Govt. is a necessary evil. For example N.T.Rama Rao came to power on the plank of corrupt free administration and made blunders like early retirement for govt.employees and other blunders like terrible caste riots in Vijyawada etc., He completely lacked a vision and proved himself as a person who lacked dignity.
What was the necessity for Mr.Modi to call Sri lanka PM or Nawaz Sharif ? This was like Modi appreciating genocide commited by Sri lanka on Tamil minority !
Within 100 days I think Mr.Modi will execute biggest blunders.

A quick and easy project that can be made for a young woman in a couple of hours. This guide is about making a ribbon scarf.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
This is a quick and easy scarf that can be made in a couple of hours' time. It is perfect for those little ladies on your list. Or if you like the pattern, you can continue on and make it longer for an adult. It uses about a 1/2 to a 1/4 of a skein so this would be a great project to use up the last of that skein from another project. When it is worked in a light weight yarn it is a very pretty, very feminine lacy scarf.
Row 1: In second chain from hook DC and in each stitch across. Chain 3 turn.
Row 2-9 DC in each stitch across. Chain 3 turn.
Row 10 DC in first 2 stitches, skip one stitch, In next stitch 3 DC chain 2 3 Dc skip a stitch Dc in last two stitches.

Phase II study of the farnesyltransferase inhibitor R115777 in advanced melanoma (CALGB 500104)

Journal of Translational Medicine 2012, 10:246 doi:10.1186/1479-5876-10-246Published: 10 December 2012
Multiple farnesylated proteins are involved in signal transduction in cancer. Farnesyltransferase inhibitors (FTIs) have been developed as a strategy to inhibit the function of these proteins. As FTIs inhibit proliferation of melanoma cell lines, we undertook a study to assess the impact of a FTI in advanced melanoma. As farnesylated proteins are also important for T cell activation, measurement of effects on T cell function was also pursued.
A 3-stage trial design was developed with a maximum of 40 patients and early stopping if there were no responders in the first 14, or fewer than 2 responders in the first 28 patients. Eligibility included performance status of 0–1, no prior chemotherapy, at most 1 prior immunotherapy, no brain metastases, and presence of at least 2 cutaneous lesions amenable to biopsy. R115777 was administered twice per day for 21 days of a 28-day cycle. Patients were evaluated every 2 cycles by RECIST. Blood and tumor were analyzed pre-treatment and during week 7.
Fourteen patients were enrolled. Two patients had grade 3 toxicities, which included myelosuppression, nausea/vomiting, elevated BUN, and anorexia. There were no clinical responses. All patients analyzed showed potent inhibition of FT activity (85-98%) in tumor tissue; inhibition of phosphorylated ERK and Akt was also observed. T cells showed evidence of FT inhibition and diminished IFN-γ production.
Despite potent target inhibition, R115777 showed no evidence of clinical activity in this cohort of melanoma patients. Inhibition of T cell function by FTIs has potential clinical implications.

Dog attacked in Romania on the mend in Dane End
Posted: December 17, 2012|
A ROMANIAN dog that was torn apart by other hounds in the country is recovering well after an animal trust in Dane End raised funds for her vet bill.
Hanovia Gold Animal Trust, which Tracey Parker runs from her home in Easington Road, raised £300 to pay for Nova's care and bring her to England.
The money came from a dog show held at the Rest and Welcome pub in Haultwick.
Tracey, 46, who was told about Nova by dog rescuers in Romania, with whom she is in regular contact, said: "She had been ripped apart. She was found by the roadside with her intestines hanging out her body. Her puppies managed to escape.
"In Romania there are two types of dogs – the traumatised ones who won't go near people and go around in packs to hunt smaller dogs, and the friendly ones like Nova who know if they stay with humans they get food.
"The pack got hold of Nova and tore her apart."
When the street dog first arrived, she was in a bad way, but is now improving.
Tracey, who looks after around 38 animals, said: "She's mingled in really well. She's still scared and if you are a stranger, she will shrink away, but she's getting better."
She has since been joined by Milly, her last surviving puppy, after the trust raised money to bring her over, and is bonding well with her daughter.
Next month a Romanian cat and dog, named Orange and Ursu respectively, will arrive at the trust and Tracey is hoping to find someone to give the animals a home together.
She said: "They sit and beg together at the gas station in Romania. That's very unusual and the dog must be protecting the cat or the cat would be eaten.
"For a dog and cat to pair up for food and the dog not to kill the cat is a really big thing."
Anyone interested in giving the pair a home or fostering another of Tracey's animals should email email@example.com.

Google Shows Off Next Android Build
Read the Original Article at InformationWeek
Google is showing developers what to expect from the next version of the Android operating system.
The new branch of development is being called "Donut," and it will add multiple features to help Android compete against rivals like the iPhone, BlackBerry, Symbian, and webOS mobile operating systems. Donut is not Android 2.0, but many of its features and capabilities will likely be found in the next official firmware update.
One of the most important new features in this update is compatibility for CDMA networks, which are used by Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel. Both mobile operators have publicly said they will offer Android smartphones, but they will likely have to wait until an official update to offer devices.
The Donut branch also includes integrated universal search, which should enable users to search online and within the phone's calendars, contacts, music, and installed apps. This is expected to be similar to the Spotlight search feature Apple rolled out with its iPhone 3.0 software. Additionally, Donut features more text-to-speech features, automatic backup, and a home-screen widget to let users easily toggle functions like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Developers first reported Donut included code that would enable multi-touch like the iPhone's pinching and stretching to zoom in and out of Web pages. This was later refuted by Google Android framework developer Romain Guy in a developer forum Sunday.
Andy Rubin, Google's director of mobile platforms, said the search giant plans to provide biannual software updates for the Linux-based mobile OS. Following the dessert-themed naming convention, Rubin said developers can expect the next two updates to be called "Eclair" and "Flan." Existing devices like the T-Mobile G1 and the myTouch 3G should be able to receive these software updates over the air once they're finalized.

Turkey Warns Syria It May 'Respond With Greater Force'
A week of cross-border skirmishes is making Turkey seem eager for a fight, but NATO still urges calm
After a week of exchanging cross-border attacks with Syria, Turkey on Wednesday warned that it may respond even more forcefully than it already has.
"We responded, but if it continues we will respond with greater force," the Turkish chief of staff, Gen. Necdet Ozel said, according to Reuters.
Last week, shelling from Syria landed in a Turkish town and killed 5 civilians. Turkey immediately responded with returning artillery fire. But after Damascus said it would investigate the initial shelling, Ankara just kept on firing across the border, seemingly eager for a fight.
For much of the mortar fire coming into Turkey from Syria, according to the New York Times, "It has not been clear whether the Syrian mortar is deliberate or the result of inaccurate fire in clashes between government forces and rebels seeking the overthrow of President Bashar al-Assad."
Still, Turkey has kept up its "retaliation." NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen said on Tuesday that NATO would back Turkey in case of a more substantial break-out of war. But at the same time he urged the two sides to avoid escalation, in a sign of the West's remaining unease with getting involved in anything more than a proxy war in Syria.

High stake game of chicken. NATO is kicking Turkey to fight Syria, hopefully between what is left of the dwindling infliltrators/insurgents and Turkish military — bring down the regime in Damascus. But Turkey does not want to attack Syria without NATO first taking Syrian airforce. Otherwise, it risks Syria launching retaliatory strikes on Turkish cities.
But the risks for NATO! Turkey may well establish itself as one of the dominant powers in the Middle East, along with Egyipt. With Egypt and Iran coordinating their positions, Middle East may well become Turkish-Egyptian-Iranian condominium.
Then again who knows who actually fired into Turkey. Would not an "incident" staged by the likes of the FSA be in their interest? Anyone willing to let loose suicide bombs and kill civilians willy nilly doesn't give a damn who they kill so long as they get what they want.
I regard this as staged news. I expect Erdogan and Turkish military is under NATO pressure to do so. Not as said here.
I also believe that the shelling into Turkey came from Turkish weapons within the Syrian territory. At least this report of a Lebanese journalist in Syria http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hvujjlIJdek shows Turkish military officers within Syria, having a plane, lorries and many weapons delivered the the NATO fighters – called free Syrian Army – despite being 85-90 percent foreigners according to German secret service http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XbmczLdvZVY and a medical doctor of medicines without border providing surgery for the rebels. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S17-TUqAghU
According to the Syrian UN ambassador Bashar al-Jaafari http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqHzWIcYFVE
Turkey hosts many NATO mercenaries along the whole Turkish border for their hit and run terror attacks on Syrian towns close to the border:
Bashar al-Jaafari http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqHzWIcYFVE
I do not under stand why such information is always censored here. Having experienced so extreme fakes and lies from NATO media I believe virtually anything from the Syrian side. I actually think they are very bad propagandists and act very unprofessionally.
Turkish newspaper says shell at Turkish territory were made with NATO shells, which do not exist in Syria – except those delivered to the rebels by Turkey and shot by them: http://www.yurtgazetesi.com.tr/images/dosyalarim/…
Media Distortion of Facts Vid1: Syrian rebels use pictures of Turkish war crimes against Kurds watch?v=ApsPSySODN8
Huge Istanbul Anti-War Against Syria Protest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0iDlxX1pdI&fe…
Turkey is boiling against Erdogan's Zionist policies in the region and this protest taking Istanbul people out to the streets to show their disagreement of the war drums Turkey's Muslim Brotherhood government is beating against Syria.
considering this really Huge Istanbul Anti-War Demonstration Against Syria war, Erdogan's muslim brotherhood government could get many difficulties:
I guess providing them a haven and base of operations as well as logistic and training support isn't enough Turkey is clearly looking for a way to directly support it's jihadist.
Look, NATO is a militarism regime as USA is and both share the same interests, a world dominating economic power a new conical system with a puppet regime as Tukey is, what is different is the method and political way that countries as NATO operates, they (NATO as democrats, the falsified ones) will kill you with patience and in time, the other side, the Neo liberal fascism hand In hand with European Neo fascism will and wate to kill you faster. Here the Turkish Islamic regime and is first obligation is to help the Saudis stone aged regime to survive while Islamization of Obama doctrine is and has been the agenda for last 4 years,. The presents governments of NATO and USA see the Iranian as their enemy, not the Zionism nor the sunny Muslims, because their constitutions doesn't talk about imperialism and don't say that A government of Iran needs to be a anti imperialism.
Erdagon, why don't you throw in a 'price tag' action or two whilst you are it. After all, that's what the master does when things don't go his way.
Weapons made in the Ukraine and sold to Saudi Arabia have been found at rebel bases in Syria.
Foggy Anders has volunteered to don a NATO t-shirt, showing his muscles and looking savage from where he would stand 50 miles behind the Turk forces growling and foaming.

Another advance traffic alert: Highway 99 closure in 2 weeks – SOUTH of the bridgeFebruary 8, 2013 at 3:21 pm | In West Seattle news, West Seattle traffic alerts | 6 Comments
One more advance traffic alert – this one two weeks away, involving the so-called Timber Bridge project on Highway 99 south of the West Seattle Bridge. We first told you about this impending work back in November, and more recently shared WSDOT's announcement that work would begin on February 25th. We now have details on a weekend closure immediately preceding that, to reorganize traffic on the structure to make way for the crews, and to move underground utility pipes out of the way, as described by WSDOT's Broch Bender, followed by details of the changes that then will be in effect during the project:
During the weekend of Feb. 22-25, the project will relocate a waterline under the existing timber structure and shift traffic to the west half of the bridge (where the southbound lanes are today). All traffic on SR 99 over S. Spokane Street will be shifted to the west to allow crews room to safely demolish the timber overpass and replace it with a new, concrete supported structure.
Closure details:
· 10 pm Friday, Feb. 22 to 5 am Monday, Feb. 25 – Both directions of SR 99 between the West Seattle Bridge and S. Nevada Street will be closed around the clock.
o Southbound SR 99 will be closed from the Battery Street Tunnel to S. Nevada Street, traffic will be detoured off the highway at Denny Way.
o Northbound SR 99 will be off-limits to drivers between S. Nevada Street and the West Seattle Bridge. South of Diagonal Street, traffic will be detoured to First Avenue S. North of Diagonal Street, signs will direct drivers off of SR 99 at the West Seattle/S. Spokane St./East Marginal Way S. exit.
Then on Monday, February 25th, after the closures, here's how the traffic flow will work:
·Southbound traffic: South of the West Seattle/Harbor Island exit, southbound traffic will be reduced to one lane between the West Seattle Bridge and S. Nevada Street.
Northbound traffic: Two lanes of northbound traffic between S. Nevada Street and the West Seattle Bridge will be shifted to the west. The third lane remains the drop-lane for the northbound exit to West Seattle and East Marginal Way S.
· Slower speeds: A temporary speed limit reduction to 40 MPH in both directions of SR 99 will be extended south of the Alaskan Way Viaduct through the construction zone to approximately S. Idaho Street.
A map showing all that – as requested at the South Portal Working Group meeting earlier this week – should be available by tonight, and we'll add it to the story when it is. The project is expected to last into June of next year, as crews demolish and rebuild the overpass one half at a time; once the east half is complete, it'll handle traffic so work can commence on the west half.

One lane southbound past Spokane street will likely cause significant slowdowns on 99. Here we go again West Seattle!
Comment by Work downtown — 3:32 pm February 8, 2013 #
One southbound lane after the West Seattle exits is going to cause nightmare evening commutes.
Comment by fiz — 3:46 pm February 8, 2013 #
will there ever be an end to all these closures?
Will there ever be an end to SOV car culture necessitating all these closures?
Comment by Stark — 4:08 pm February 8, 2013 #
The most logical solution is to make the middle lane reversible – Northbound in the morning, Southbound at night. There will still be bottlenecks on both sides, but putting two lanes in the heaviest traffic direction will help minimize the backups.
Comment by sw — 4:12 pm February 8, 2013 #
Any information regarding closure of the streets (E Marginal Way S) that are adjacent to the timber ramp? I'm hoping they keep those open to traffic especially since the concrete plant's main entrance is located on the west of that ramp. That's my commute route.

Country legend Vince Gill loves playing golf and wants to play the U.S. Senior Open
by Michelle Hiskey – ESPN
Country singer Vince Gill will celebrate 20 years at the Grand Ole Opry Saturday night, and for a warmup, he took his two best friends — his guitar and golf clubs — down to Georgia, for a short concert before the PGA Championship.
The 20-time Grammy winner is a scratch golfer who headed to Nashville all those years ago because of his wobbly short game.
"My putter made me a real good guitar player," Gill confessed to the hundreds of blazered club pros who crowded the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre.
The PGA gave Gill its 2003 Distinguished Service Award for The Vinny, (slogan: "Country's First Major"), his annual tourney that funds junior golf in Tennessee. The same prestigious award went to three-time major winner Larry Nelson after the concert ended.
Between songs, Gill joked about his waning career, receding hairline, expanding waistline — and wife Amy Grant. "I've been riding my wife's coattails for 11 years and it's worked pretty good for me."
Mostly Gill talked golf. He invoked Tiger Woods' former caddie by introducing keyboardist Pete Wasner: "He's my Stevie Williams, but he don't talk to the press."
Gill said he got his bad temper from his dad, "the only guy to get really mad over a practice swing." The reason golf clubs have grips, Gill said, "is so you can throw 'em."
At 54, his dream is to play the U.S. Senior Open. At a recent qualifier, "I asked the starter, 'Is throwing up on the first tee a penalty?'" Gill said. He finished fourth, a few strokes short.
But there's always another song, another round. Saturday kicks off his tour for his new four-disc album, "These Days." For any pro who left a business card, Gill promised to trade concert tickets for greens fees.
