Here are the top 5 blockbuster movies of mammootty. The movies are selected on the basis of the box-office collection, year, no of days run and the records set by them. All the 5 films entered this list as the broken the collection records.
1. Oru CBI Diary Kurippu
In 1988 Mammootty delivered one of the biggest hits in the history of Malayalam Cinema with his Oru CBI Diary Kurippu. Oru CBI Diary Kurippu went on to create box-office history in Kerala as well as in Tamil Nadu.
Mammootty's role as a CBI officer in this film got him critical acclaim. Following the success of the first CBI film Oru CBI Diary Kurippu, three more murder mystery sequels were produced with the same cast of characters: Jagratha (1989), Sethurama Iyer CBI (2004) and Nerariyan C.B.I (2005), all directed by K Madhu, penned by S.N. Swamy with Mammootty as Sethurama Iyer, an intelligent but unassuming CBI officer. All CBI films were super hits at box-office.
Oru CBI Diary Kurippu still holds the record of most ran Malayalam film outside kerala, it ran a year in Safire, the flagship theatre of the Vecumsees group (now defunct),Madras(now chennai) . Intresting fact is that no mammootty films (not even CBI) ran that much n kerala.

2. New Delhi
For a short while during mid 80's, Mammooty saw his career in a decline. Many of his films during this period saw him portraying very stereotypical roles as a family man or a businessman. Nearly 10 of his movies bombed at the box-office in a row. He even thought of stopping his career. Mammootty made an unbelievable comeback with New Delhi. It broke all the collection records. Mammootty regained his stardom again with the help of this faboulus movie.
New Delhi was the most important movie in his life as an actor. His portrayal of a victimized journalist, who systematically took revenge on politicians who flattered him, was noticed and well accepted by the masses. Movie ran well in Kerala Box office and Tamil nadu also. In Kerala, it ran more than 150 days breaking the collection records till date. It was the biggest Hit of 1987.

So with all the drawing down that is currently going on, leaving Iraq and possibly soon to be Afghanistan. I will be picking orders in early next year and it will be my first chance to go green side.

Any advise would be appreciated

The person who called for the welfare check was a third party, not the person who was transported or the person who was detained, Crumley said.

|Thrombophilia in patients with chronic venous leg ulcers-a study on patients with or without post-thrombotic syndrome.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21392126 Owner: NLM Status: Publisher
|Background Chronic venous leg ulcers (CVU) cause considerable burden of disease for the patients as well as enormous costs for health care systems. The pathophysiology of CVU is complex and not entirely understood. So far reliable pathogenic and/or prognostic parameters have not been identified. Objectives We studied the role of thrombophilia in patients referred to a University dermatology department for treatment of CVU. Patients and methods A cohort of 310 patients with active chronic venous leg ulcers (CEAP 6) was stratified into two comparably large groups according to the presence or absence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS+; PTS-) as determined using duplex scan and/or phlebography. In addition, several thrombophilia parameters were assessed. Results The prevalence of protein S deficiency and factor V Leiden mutation was significantly higher in PTS+ patients compared with the PTS- group. However, patients in both subgroups revealed high prevalences of thrombophilia (antithrombin deficiency, protein C deficiency, protein S deficiency, activated protein C resistance, factor V mutation or elevated homocysteine). Conclusion Based on these data, it is conceivable that thrombophilia contributes to the pathogenesis of CVU, possibly through induction of microcirculatory dysregulations.

text: Open house was a success this year at Competition Accessories here in Rock Hill, South Carolina. We had a DJ that was cranking out good tunes; provided dogs (hot), chips, cookies, and drinks; handed out tons of raffle give-a-ways; and a bunch of our distributors were hanging out representing several different brands giving insight on different products. It was a great time even on a day that brought cloud covering weather. Instead of having the event in the bright sunshine that we hoped South Carolina would provide, the misty showers continued which brought the fun inside of our massive warehouse, keeping everyone and everything dry. On display there were many different motorcycle products from motorcycle helmets, to helmet locks, motorcycle jackets, and much more. Overall, Open House was a huge success by bringing in a nice crowd, handing out sweet prizes, staying dry, and spreading tons of knowledge about the various products we have available. It couldn't of been made possible without our loyal customers, all the new customers and the awesome distributors we have. Thanks to everyone that made it out! If you didn't make it this year, you missed out on a good time. We hope to see you in 2014! Check out some of the footage from the event.

Nate Berkus Explains When to Call In an Interior Designer
Three Things a Designer Can Help You With:
1. Getting the scale right. "I can look at a photo and the dimensions of any piece and tell you if it's going to sit well with the four other pieces in your room."
2. Mixing styles. "If someone says, 'I love the glamour of Hollywood in the 1940s, but I also love the idea of a log cabin, and I'm happiest when I'm at the beach with natural colors,' I can combine all of that for them."
3. Access to resources. "It's my job to know what's available, from every retailer, catalog, website, antiques mall, and craftsperson. A good designer or decorator has to have an almost encyclopedic knowledge."
Three Things You Don't Need a Designer For:
1. Buying furniture. "You don't need anyone's help to buy a well-made sofa or chest of drawers."
2. Hanging artwork. "When I see a wall that's hung with different objects, framed or unframed, what I like about it is its fluidity and rule-breaking nature. Just experiment a bit."
3. Choosing colors. "I've always felt that color is intrinsically personal. It evokes a tremendous amount of emotion. If there's a color you respond to, that's something you can incorporate into your home. No one can tell you it's wrong."

Freedom to Marry, NCLR Launch Resource on U.S. Court of Appeals 10th Circuit Marriage Cases
Oral Arguments for UT and OK Cases Scheduled for April 10 and 17 in Denver
Press Contacts:
Angela Dallara | email@example.com | 646-430-3925
Erik Olvera | firstname.lastname@example.com | 415-994-3242
New York - Next month, freedom to marry cases in Utah and Oklahoma will be heard by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals, the first marriage cases to be heard by an appellate court since the Windsor ruling striking down the core of the so-called Defense of Marriage Act. The plaintiffs in both cases prevailed in their suits against state constitutional amendments denying the freedom to marry.
Given the importance of the Utah (Kitchen v. Herbert) and Oklahoma (Bishop v. Oklahoma) cases, Freedom to Marry and the National Center for Lesbian Rights (NCLR) have launched a new web resource, 10thcircuit.org, as a straightforward, comprehensive one-stop-shop for information, news, and analysis. The site is a resource for background on the cases, friend-of the-court briefs, plaintiff profiles, recent polling, and context about the state-of-play in Utah, Oklahoma, Colorado, Wyoming, New Mexico and Kansas – the six states covered by the 10th Circuit.
"With the explosion of marriage cases in the courts, we've created a dynamic one-stop shop for everything 10th circuit-related," said Evan Wolfson, president of Freedom to Marry. "Background on these critical cases, the plaintiffs and attorneys, polling, and champions in the region make a strong, bipartisan case for the freedom to marry."
There are now 58 active lawsuits in 28 states seeking the freedom to marry or equal respect under the law for same-sex couples who have gotten married. In recent months, nine out of nine federal judges have ruled against marriage discrimination; not one court has upheld marriage discrimination or ruled against the freedom to marry in years.
"As lawyers involved in a number of the marriage cases, either directly or working with local attorneys behind the scenes, we knew we could best assist the public by making information about the goings on in the 10th circuit readily available in a single web link," said Kate Kendell, executive director of NCLR and co-counsel in the Utah case. "Even for those of us involved day-to-day, any resource that makes information available in real time and in one place is a tremendous asset."
As cases ripen in the other circuits in the coming days and weeks similar resources will be made available.
Freedom to Marry is the campaign to win marriage nationwide. We are pursuing our Roadmap to Victory by working to win the freedom to marry in more states, grow the national majority for marriage, and end federal marriage discrimination. We partner with individuals and organizations across the country to end the exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage and the protections, responsibilities, and commitment that marriage brings.
The National Center for Lesbian Rights is a national legal organization committed to advancing the civil and human rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender people and their families through litigation, public policy advocacy, and public education. www.NCLRights.org

Voices of Faith: If it were possible, how would you change or improve your faith?
Q. If it were possible, how would you change or improve your faith?
I would create a co-equal role for women as deacons, priests and bishops. No lesser approach would be satisfactory to honor and enlist every human creature in creating and sanctifying the world as the kingdom of God.
I remember the distinct dishonor and disappointment my own daughters felt when not allowed to even be altar servers in their growing up years.
In the badly-needed service roles of the church towards the poor and disenfranchised, women would be a marvelous asset, as both advocates and preachers and "doers." Who else could stand to see so many children starve and be neglected? Or families destroyed by war and poverty?
The greatest description of God is love incarnate. We need the softer side of our human hearts empowered to lead us to a new spiritual destiny, one based on mercy, forgiveness and a sincere caring for each other; no exceptions.
Deacon Mike Evans
Sacred Heart Church, Anderson
There is nothing I would change about my faith tradition in regards to its teachings. I enjoy a tradition that explores all teachings and honors and examines the life of Jesus Christ and what he knew about healing. In addition, the strength of this tradition is that it invites each individual to develop a practice and way of life that integrates the things that person holds sacred from any tradition. It is open, supportive and deeply respectful of all traditions and people.
There are areas, however, where further growth is being actively encouraged, namely for instance, in ethnic diversity. As a relatively young tradition, programs have been recently developed to reach out to communities and groups to welcome exploration into the tradition to diversify. Further exploration is also being encouraged to difficult to reach regions throughout the world. The call is to awaken humanity to its spiritual magnificence.

God tells the Muslim in the Holy Quran, "this day I have completed your religion." Therefore the religion is complete.
God himself has completed it, therefore there is no need to add to it or take anything away from it. To do so would mean that you know better than God how your faith should be. No there is nothing that I would take away or add to my religion, since God has said this day he has perfected the religion.
Imam Abu Bakr H. Salahuddin
Islamic Center of Redding
My favorite time at the temple is not the worship service, although I enjoy that, but Torah study. And my favorite moment in Torah study is when the rabbi asks, "What does this passage mean to you?" It makes me think, but more importantly, it brings me closer to others when I hear their thoughts.
My parents meant well, but my early training in religion didn't encourage exploration, even though it is intrinsic to our faith. Our rabbis or parents, in trying to inculcate "correct thinking," often miss that.
The sages have interpreted the very sensual "Song of Songs" as man's "natural" yearning for God. Whether they are right or whether a bit of lust found its way into scripture, I think there is a natural yearning for God. Ritual and Bible study should do more to facilitate that yearning and resist the need to indoctrinate.

Buddhists have always practiced ethical behavior and compassion on a personal level, but could learn from Christians about offering organized provision of social and charitable services.
Buddhists have already made steps in this direction through what is called engaged Buddhism, with Buddhist organizations for environmental and peace issues, disaster relief, educational uplift, economic development, and chaplaincy programs for individuals and families in hospice settings, prison inmates, and those suffering chronic pain. These modern practices take some inspiration from Asoka, the first Buddhist emperor, who created, for example, free hospitals, travelers' hostels, veterinary care, and wildlife refuges.
Buddhists could learn from Christians regarding social programs just as Christians could learn and benefit from many Buddhist practices and insights. Respectful interfaith dialog makes the wisdom of diverse religious and ethical traditions available to everyone, regardless of faith or belief.
May our spiritual and ethical practices benefit all beings and bring peace.
Chris Carrigan, Buddhist
River Oak Sangha, Redding
If by faith you mean my belief system, Christianity, I would not change it. Since it finds its source in the infinitely wise and good mind and will of God, it is perfect. It cannot be improved upon; it cannot tend any more to the glory of God than it already does.
If by faith you mean my own personal trust in Christ, my faith in him, I would change it the way I endeavor to change it every day, to make it stronger, freer from the weaknesses with which I struggle. I desire to trust him more completely; serve him more intensely; know him better; and to be filled day by day, more and more, with the knowledge of Christ; love for his people; and an ongoing decrease of myself, that he might increase.
Rev. Gene Crow, Pastor
Redding Reformed Fellowship
Two thousand years ago God showed up and changed the world! When Satan realized that he couldn't defeat Jesus he set out to defeat the Church. Christ's biggest adversaries of his day? The Church. If Jesus were to return tomorrow, would he even recognized the gospel he taught? So many doctrines, so many theologies, so many "Christians" moving away from sound Biblical truths to hear what their "itching ears" want to hear. (Timothy)
Sadly many faiths, old and new, that embrace the words of Christianity are far from it. Satan did a good job introducing doubt in the garden and he is doing a really good job today distorting those Biblical truths.
If it were possible it wouldn't be change or improvement, it would be, "Return! Return to sound Bible teaching."

Just like a fine wine, the Reebok Insta Pump Fury has only become better with time. When it first appeared on the streets twenty years ago, it looked like it was brought to us by sneakerheads of the future while simultaneously becoming an instant footwear classic with a style that is truly unique. To honor its role in the game, END. and Reebok Classic bring us the "Claret," which looks to come with a deep red body and an appropriate cork footbed that should be just as satisfying as a fine bottle of wine. Even the shoe box helps to make things look more authentic with the straight- from-the-vine wooden case look. These teaser images also came with a quote from Pope John XXIII: "Men are like wine – some turn to vinegar, but the best improve with age." Wonder what he'll say about this drop. We can all find out when it releases on March 15 from the UK retailer.

FALL SPECTACULAR: Livestock showcased
SAN ANGELO, Texas - An industrial size bottle of Aussie shampoo sat beside Brooke Willhite as she and her parents washed and brushed #34 — a fine-wool lamb she entered into this year's Fall Spectacular.
Her younger brother lounged in a fold-up chair to the side — having already finished showing for the season.
Brooke was one of 333 exhibitors who came to San Angelo earlier this month to show their animals — and the months of preparation and showmanship they had learned.
The two-day event drew 236 families, from 114 Texas cities, to the livestock pens near the Wells Fargo Pavilion where they showed goats, lamb, pigs and steer.
Brooke's dad, Kevin, said he's starting up a photography club in Midland, where the family lives, to get more children interested in the 4-H program.

Civil liberties?
Would the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School have taken place if God had not been banned from our schools?
I wonder if, during the shooting rampage, any of those children prayed aloud to God to keep them safe. If so, I hope that the American Civil Liberties Union and other staunch and vigilant defenders of our civil liberties will not find out and demand that they be prosecuted for violating the civil rights of others.

A quick update on the yogurt incident in Boulder, Colo., where a student took the blame for accidentally spilling yogurt on President Barack Obama.
Setting the record straight, University of Colorado freshman Kolbi Zerbest told NBC's "Today":
– It wasn't actually yogurt; rather it was a blended fruit concoction, topped with granola.
– It was hers, and she put it on the ground, but it was photographers ("'paparazzi") who actually kicked it. She says: "Technically it was my fault that I placed it there, but I'm not the one who spilled it on him or kicked it on him," as reports had said.
– Lastly, no, it was not some sorority-initiation stunt.

Everton's challenge to BarkleyComment on this story
London - Everton's Ross Barkley must follow an impressive breakthrough season with match-winning performances and more goals when the new Premier League campaign starts on Saturday, according to club captain Phil Jagielka.
The 20-year-old midfielder announced himself with a string of dynamic performances as Everton finished fifth last term, earning him a place in England's World Cup squad.
His direct running and spectacular goals drew widespread praise and admiring glances from some of Europe's top clubs, as comparisons were made to Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard.
Barkley committed his future to Everton in July, however, signing a new four-year contract, and now Jagielka says the Merseyside club have set the prestigious talent small goals to make an even bigger impact in this season.
"Our biggest challenge to Ross is to make those cameo moments into longer spells," the central defender told the BBC on Wednesday. "Then he will become a match-winner.
"We also want him to get a few more goals from that advanced midfield role he plays. We are setting him small goals but not heaping the pressure on him at such a young age."
Barkley made brief appearances in each of England's three group games at the World Cup and is widely considered the country's leading young talent.
Should he meet his club's challenges and add consistency to creativity, Everton and the midfielder can look forward to an even more exciting campaign than the last term.
The club enjoyed a solid first season under new manager Roberto Martinez, securing their highest league finish in five seasons and a Europa League spot playing an exciting brand of attacking football.
The Spaniard consolidated his squad in the close season, making permanent the signings of striker Romelu Lukaku and midfielder Gareth Barry, who were both loanees last term.
He also secured the long-term future of young talents Seamus Coleman and John Stones with new contracts.
Martinez said the new season, which starts with a visit to promoted Leicester City on Saturday, will mean a greater challenge to finish in the top four but retaining the services of Barkley is key to another successful year.
"Handing those players new contracts shows we have ambition, and it is something rare to have Barkley, who knows his best environment and he wanted to stay at Everton and carry on developing here," Martinez told Sky Sports on Wednesday.
"Sometimes to keep a player is more satisfying than signing one. It allows you to have continuity to face all the demands of the season with a strong backbone." – Reuters

The important thing is that I have only had this e-mail for five months and sent it out to some people, and filled in some forms, none of which were political. So I guess the guv stole my e-mail address and I guess everything is shared in common in California. Oh, here it is…
Dear William,
In the last five years, California has massively cut its schools and increased tuition at our universities and community colleges.
That has to stop! Will you take the pledge to save our schools and stop tuition hikes?
Without Proposition 30, tuition at California colleges will increase by thousands of dollars and weeks of class will be cut from our public schools.
In 8 days, you get to decide.
With your YES vote on Prop. 30, we can:
Stop another $6 billion in cuts to our schools and colleges this year.
Prevent steep tuition hikes for college students.
Keep the California Dream alive.
Let's invest in our children, their future and a prosperous California.
Stop the layoffs of teachers. Stop tuition hikes that are blocking college access.
Vote YES on Prop. 30.

Clinton foundation spent $50 million on travel
Posted By -NO AUTHOR- On 08/20/2013 @ 1:05 pm In Money,Politics,U.S. | No Comments
(NYPOST) — Bill Clinton's foundation has spent more than $50 million on travel expenses since 2003, an analysis of the non-profit's tax forms reveal.
The web of foundations run by the former president spent an eye-opening $12.1 million on travel in 2011 alone, according to an internal audit conducted by foundation accountants. That's enough to by 12,000 air tickets costing $1,000 each, or 33 air tickets each day of the year.
That overall figure includes travel costs for the William J. Clinton Foundation (to which Hillary and Chelsea are now attached) of $4.2 million on travel in 2011, the most recent year where figures are available.

Issaquah girls, 11 and 12, charged in Facebook cyberbullying case
April 26, 2011
By Warren Kagarise
NEW — 2:15 p.m. April 26, 2011
Prosecutors charged two preteen Issaquah girls, 11 and 12, with cyberstalking and first-degree computer trespassing Tuesday, after investigators said the girls posted sexually explicit messages and photos on another girl's Facebook page.
Prosecutors said the girls accessed the Facebook account of a 12-year-old girl, and then posted the explicit material and sent out solicitations for sex, court documents state.
The suspects used the girl's Facebook password to access the profile, and post the lewd photos and messages.
The 11-year-old told investigators she and the girl targeted in the incident used to be friends, but recently had a "falling out," court documents state.
The Issaquah Press usually does not name defendants age 12 or younger.
The girl targeted in the incident and her family learned about the explicit material after a mentor to the girl noticed photos on the Facebook page had been changed. The phrase "I'm a slut" had been scrawled across a photo of the girl, court documents state. The girl's family also found a photo of a woman with "disproportionate breasts," the documents continue.
The girls all attend Issaquah Middle School. The incident occurred off campus and outside of the school day.
If convicted as charged, the sentence for the girls could be up to 30 days in juvenile detention.
Issaquah police investigators responded to a report of harassment March 18 from the mother of the girl targeted in the Facebook incident. The department completed the investigation and forwarded the case to the Prosecutor's Office.
In announcing the charges, King County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said children should understand the consequences of their actions on the Internet.
"This case reveals the dark side of social media sites used by young people," he said in a statement. "Many kids think that on a social media site that their actions will be anonymous and that they are free to use it as weapon to bully, harass and intimidate another person."
The 12-year-old defendant is due to be arraigned in Juvenile Court on May 10. The 11-year-old girl will have a scheduling conference May 3 in Juvenile Court.
The younger defendant is also scheduled for a capacity hearing May 10. The court will determine whether the 11-year-old understands if her actions wrong and is capable of committing a crime. State law presumes children 8 to 11 are not capable of committing crimes.
"This case demonstrates that assuming the identity of another person on the Internet with the intent to torment them and expose them to the harassment of others is a crime," Satterberg added.

people are looking for loopholes to avoid paying taxes and this is the result. More kids in the classroom with their children. More people on the unemployment roles.

When we find comments with the above characteristics, we wonder why media people and politicians are often not forced to account for them. Those who cannot demonstrate civility and respect deserve, we think, to be called to task.
Conservative radio personality Neal Boortz today defended Mitt Romney's experience at Bain Capital, saying the private equity firm saved more jobs than it lost.
He went on, "Thanks to government education, the people in this country are too economically ignorant, too economically ignorant to figure out what's going on with this guy (Pres. Obama) that he's running an anti-capitalist campaign, which is exactly what you'd expect a Marxist to do. The people are too ignorant to figure that one out either."
Boortz continues to refer to the President as a Marxist, which is still not supported by facts. He and others, who think voters are not smart enough to judge whether he's a Marxist, might be surprised to hear how independent voters feel about that.
Chris Matthews, the host of Hardball on liberal MSNBC, on Monday harshly criticized Newark Mayor Corey Booker's comments about President Obama, made Sunday during a Meet the Press interview. The mayor, considered an up-and-coming Democrat who could, one day, be on a White House ticket, called President Barack Obama's advertisement criticizing Mitt Romney's tenure at private equity firm, Bain Capital, "nauseating."
Mr. Booker added, "We're getting to a ridiculous point in America. It's either going to be a small campaign about this crap or it's going to be a big campaign, in my opinion, about the issues that the American public cares about."
While some believe he was playing to his base of campaign contributors, Matthews focused on the potential effect of the comments on Pres. Obama's reelection campaign. He labeled the comments, "the horror of Cory Booker," and the "disaster on Meet the Press."
Matthews spoke a day after the mayor's statements. It is way too early to determine whether they will have any lasting effect. We believe softer words than "horror" and "disaster" should have been chosen.
+ + +
Liberal radio host Rand Rhodes also cited Romney's tenure at Bain Capital, saying the company only dealt with rich clients. She said Tuesday,"They pick and choose. This economy should not pick and choose. This economy needs to create a level playing field," where everyone can "pick and choose for themselves how far or how near they want to go with their lives …
"Mitt Romney doesn't give a damn about people like that 'cause he's never needed to … Now when he's governor of Massachusetts, he's 47th in a nation of 50 states in job creation because he doesn't know how to do it."
Her language is not appropriate and she cannot know whether Romney cares about the middle class.
+ + +
Martin Bashir, another MSNBC host, failed to give a balanced picture of poll results on women's preferences in the presidential race. He cited a recent NBC news poll that showed Pres. Obama 15 points ahead of Romney.
But other polls show the advantage falling significantly. According to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll released this week, the President's lead, which reached 19 points last month, has now fallen to 7points.
Good journalism dictates that you don't just cite the poll that makes your candidate look best. Poll results vary, both among themselves at a given time, and over time. A fuller picture needs to be presented to viewers seeking reliable information.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY — After the chaos of Black Friday weekend comes the relatively calm of Cyber Monday, and with it goes billions of dollars in uncollected sales tax dollars that would otherwise go to states and local governments.
But is it a fair trade? Retailers say a growing amount of the revenues generated in the post-Thanksgiving Day weekend shopping boom is coming through online retailers.
The Herald asked people on Facebook Friday why they choose to shop online instead of heading out to a traditional bricks-and-mortar store, and the answers ranged from convenience to reduced stress to convenience to free shipping to convenience to bigger selection. Oh, and did we mention convenience?
"Why fight the crowds when you can shop in your PJ's!" Leigh Jacaman posted.
For Michelle Woodard, living in Tifton has its shopping limitations.
"I live in Tifton, Ga., and shop online because I live in Tifton, Ga.! There aren't any major retailers other than Walmart and Kmart here and you work fulltime and have a family so I can't make it to shop an hour or more away from home very often," Woodard said.
Some say they are just thrilled to avoid all of the hassles of standing in line with people who may not be as merry as one might think.
"I don't have to deal with rude, inconsiderate people who cheat, skip and bumrush people who have been patiently waiting in line in the cold," Molly Steen Johnson posted. "Do unto others people!"
For these reasons and others, people are turning to the Internet to do their holiday shopping and, thanks to a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that prevents states from charging sales taxes to retailers who don't have any "physical" presence in the state in which they are operating, much of it goes untaxed. Some contend this hurts local businesses who do tax goods.
According to a report published through the New Rules Project — a program of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance — online retailers that are allowed to forego sales tax collections disadvantage local small business, undermine state and local governments and "make a regressive tax more regressive because only those with Internet access, a credit card, and a home or workplace where they can accept daytime deliveries are able to take advantage of the tax exemption."
A 2009 study by the University of Tennessee reported that states had lost as much as $7.7 billion in 2008 alone from uncollected sales taxes on e-commerce.
And while Cyber Monday may quickly become a thing of the past as retailers seem less and less likely to wait to put their best deals online following Black Friday, e-commerce is showing no signs of stopping. And the data seem to support the shift. Cyber Monday is becoming more significant as online retailers try to grab a larger share of the marketplace earlier each year.
The e-commerce blog site CyberMonday2011.com shares statistics from past Cyber Mondays.
According to its statistics, in 2005 consumers spent $608 million online during Cyber Monday. That figure jumped by 21 percent in 2007 to $733 million and another 15 percent in 2008 to $846 million. In 2009, growth increased modestly by 5 percent to $887 million. There were no data available for 2010.

Photography is a passion for former Valley Independent managing editor
Historians are still researching and searching for any clues as to the identity of the woman who inspired, if that was the case, Da Vinci to paint the Mona Lisa.
For Frank Jaworoski of West Newton there was no such "aha" moment when he "happened to be standing there at that particular time and it caught my eye, just instantaneous inspiration," he said, chuckling.
What caught Jaworoski's eye was a side of a building at Friendship Hill National Historic site on the Albert Gallatin estate north of Point Marion.
"I have no idea," Jaworoski said, regarding what inspired him to snap the photo – an 8½-by-11-inch color photo he titled "Friendship Hill" — of a side of a building, a photo which earned the Ohio State University grad and retired assistant suburban editor of Pittsburgh Tribune-Review and managing editor of Valley Independent newspaper a share of the People's Choice Award at the Touchstone Center for Crafts in Farmington earlier this summer, in a juried exhibit sponsored by the Uniontown Art Club.
"No, I am not a professional photographer," he said. "I consider myself an advanced amateur. I walk around with my camera and when something catches my eye I take a picture. It was a humbling moment to be honored with the People's Choice Award. It's always nice to be recognized and have people like what I do. That award means people saw it and liked it."
Beverly DeMotte, president of the Uniontown Art Club, explained that the People's Choice Award is voted on by visitors who are encouraged to vote for their favorite piece of art.
Jaworoski, incidentally, shared the award with Peter Pasqua of Uniontown, for his wood sculpture, "Owen Nelson, MD."
With a bachelor of arts degree in journalism, Jaworski's professional career began as a writer, working for small papers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and admits that his alter-ego career as a photographer began in the most mundane of ways.
"I became involved in photography in the late 1960s when I picked up a camera in New York City and started shooting there," he recalls. "From there it was photography courses and I was fortunate to be able to combine photography with my journalism." Jaworoski, however, admits that he comes from an art-based family and in one form or another art has been present throughout his life. His brother is a painter/sculptor, and his wife, Terri, a former teacher, makes jewelry and paints watercolors.
Originally from Avon Lake, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, he moved to western Pennsylvanian in the mid-1980s. Since relocating, he has shown his photos at Touchstone, where each of the three photographs he submitted for the juried exhibition was selected for display, Friendship Hill, the DV8 gallery in Greensburg, and Arts Monongahela Gallery in Morgantown, where he was recently honored with a third place award for his photo.
"I walk around with my camera and when something catches my eye I take a picture," Jaworoski said. "My focus is on the image. It's not the process or the camera; but the final image that is important. That final image is the holy grail of photography. I never thought about doing photography for a living. Rather, photography is a creative outlet for me. This has become my passion."
If there is an inspiration for his photos, it's the Yough River bike trail, he mused, along with virtually all of western Pennsylvania, northern West Virginia and western Maryland, all amazing areas to explore and photograph, he said.
Obviously and much closer to home, Jaworoski added, "There are lot of treasures such as Friendship Hill. This is where I focus my artistic eye. There is so much to offer."
Jeannie Kuhn, executive director of Arts Monongahela, first met Jaworoski when he submitted photos for an exhibition.
"This was a juried exhibit, and I was very impressed with the three photos he submitted," Kuhn said, noting the exhibit was juried by Michael Sherman, who teaches photography at West Virginia University. "His photos have a beautiful, painterly-like softness quality, and I loved his use of color. Frank has a keen eye and I enjoyed his photography and his participation in the exhibit."
In September, Jaworoski's photos will move to Friendship Hill, and he is busy putting together books of photos, "to share what I've seen through my photographs," he said. "My photography represents my eye and is the focus of my passion, my heart."

Consortium moves ahead with ambitious Desertec project
- Details
- Category: Business
04 Nov 2009
- Published on Wednesday, 04 November 2009 13:37
- Hits (747)
DESERTEC Industrial Initiative is tasked with studying the concept further and establishing a framework for potential investments.
The group of large European companies which together will form a new entity that will move the ambitious Desertec project forward have officially incorporated their company on Friday.
The Desertec project wants to build a wide network of wind and solar installation across resource-rich Africa and the Middle East. The idea is for these regions to supply as much as 15 percent of Europe's electricity demand by 2050 through an extensive grid interconnection network.
In return, energy from the sites will power water desalination systems and other projects in the water-scarce regions.
Critics of the plan say it would be too costly, with estimates ranging from 400 billion to over 500 billion euros ($590 to $737 billion).
The articles effectively form the DESERTEC Industrial Initiative G.m.b.H. (D.I.I.) and sets the relationship of its 12 shareholders.
Plans for the forming of DESERTEC were announced in July, giving some practical boost to what has been a long-discussed, though criticized, concept of making use of the vast deserts of Africa and the Middle East.
The 12 shareholders, mostly European, include engineering giants ABB and Siemens; solar companies MAN Solar Millennium and Schott Solar; and European utilities E.ON and RWE.
They are joined by financial giants Deutsche Bank, HSH Nordbank and Munich Re.
DESERTEC Industrial Initiative is tasked with studying the concept further and establishing a framework for potential investments.
Paul van Son was appointed chief executive. He has 30 years of experience in the European energy industry and was chairman of the Energy4All Foundation that is active in Africa.
"The D.I.I. will primarily focus on the economic, technical and regulatory conditions that must be fulfilled for successful project implementation. Early reference projects will allow us to learn for further rollout plans by the D.I.I. and other parties," Mr. van Son said.
Hermann Scheer, chairman of the World Council for Renewable Energy and member of the German parliament, has called the Desertec concept a "mirage."
Mr. Scheer said there is no need to go to Africa to fulfill Europe's future electricity needs because the continent can reportedly source energy from its own backyard. Desertec's proponents have refuted this.
The Desertec concept's main proponent is the elite think tank Club of Rome.

Issaquah Democrat Mark Mullet joins state Senate
December 4, 2012
By Warren Kagarise
Issaquah City Councilman Mark Mullet joined the state Senate on Nov. 30 — 45 days before other freshman lawmakers convene in Olympia for the 2013 legislative session.
In a ceremony on the Senate floor, state Supreme Court Chief Justice Barbara Madsen administered the oath to Mullet as the Democrat's family members watched.
Mullet joined the Senate after a bruising contest against Snoqualmie Republican Brad Toft to represent the 5th Legislative District — a mishmash between suburban and rural communities stretched between Issaquah and Snoqualmie Pass.
The last senator to represent the district, Maple Valley Republican Cheryl Pflug, resigned from the seat in June to serve on a state board. Sammamish Republican Dino Rossi — senator from the district in the late 1990s and early 2000s — served in the role between Pflug's resignation and Mullet's arrival.
Mullet joined the Senate earlier than other freshman lawmakers because Pflug resigned and state law required her successor to fill the remaining weeks in her term.
The next legislative session starts Jan. 14 as lawmakers gather in the Capitol to face another tough budget climate.
Mullet scored a leadership role in the chamber — assistant majority whip, or the lawmaker responsible for tracking legislation and lining up votes on bills.
"It's a good job for a freshman senator because your responsibility is basically to count votes and figure out what people are thinking on different issues," he said. "You get a chance to learn a lot about how your colleagues are thinking about things."
Leaders assigned the novice senator to the Early Learning & K-12 Education Committee, Transportation Committee and, in a nod to Mullet's former career as a Bank of America currency trader, to the vice chairman spot on the Financial Institutions, Housing & Insurance Committee.
The education post is particularly important as legislators confront the dilemma of how to fund K-12 schools despite limited resources.
The recent state Supreme Court ruling in McCleary v. State of Washington ordered the Legislature to fully fund basic education by 2018.
Mullet, owner of Zeeks Pizza and Ben & Jerry's Scoop Shop in the Issaquah Highlands, often touted business experience on the campaign trail, and said the knowledge already proved useful in conversations with other senators.
"When they hear that idea from somebody who's just recently opened businesses, I think they give it more credit than they would from somebody who's just repeating some line from a lobbyist," he said.
Mullet plans to serve in the Senate and on the City Council simultaneously through Jan. 8.
The council is poised to tackle major issues in the weeks ahead, including the Central Issaquah Plan growth blueprint, a development agreement between the city and landowner Lakeside Industries, and the 2013 municipal budget.
Once Mullet resigns, council members intend to put out a call for potential successors and conduct interviews before appointing a resident to the seat.
Mullet joined the Issaquah City Council in January 2010 after running unopposed for the seat and, earlier in 2012, spearheaded a controversial plastic bag ban at Issaquah businesses. On the council, he led the Council Utilities, Technology & Environment Committee and served as a local representative on the Eastside Fire & Rescue board.
The experience in local government offered Mullet a lesson in how the state can help Issaquah and other cities succeed.
"You can't solve the state's budget problems by shifting state responsibilities to the cities, because at the end of the day, the state government is here to make it a better place to live for the residents of Washington, and you're not achieving that goal" if cities must bear the burden to provide services, he said.

Great interview on Buoloco
Bob Klein hits the nail on the head with this one. This is super relevant, especially for kids and people in a transitional period of their life. Instead of dreaming about being the next Ipod (everyone would love the option to have that life) think about what would happen if you weren't the next Ipod - what would you sacrifice and endure (how many shitty jobs, how many breakups, how much shit from people around you, including family and friends) in order to keep riding - because to keep riding is what its all about.
Anyway, he says it much better:
Bob did nail it and I can say I'm doing what it takes to ride 150 days a season.
I can't watch the video at the moment but I can already tell that I am on the same page to a certain extent.
I was in a seven year relationship that took almost everything I love and I'll never let that happen again.
I lost myself for a while but now I'm back and once again it's much easier for me to essentially say, "fuck you, I'm doing what I love" if I have to...
1 Attachment(s)
Bob is a great guy. I had the fortune of hanging out with him on Berthoud Pass earlier this season. He is definitely worth listening too.
This video has been popping up everywhere today!
It's funny for me to watch this because at the beginning of this season I was totally ditched by a guy who essentially told me he didn't have time for me because he'd decided that his riding was going to come first this winter. I looked at the many sacrifices he was making in his life (work, living situation, friends, even family to some extent) just to snowboard and I thought he was crazy... until he took me snowboarding. I fell in love with it and I actually left my soul-sucking mandatory overtime cubicle job to snowboard more. And I'm broke and have no idea what I'm going to do next but I totally think it has been worth it. I love how he says its not a dream, its reality. Good stuff.

1/2 inch variety...just ordered some for 12.86 shipped.http://cgi.ebay.com/3M-Adhesive-Transfer-Tape-9485PC-1-2-x-60-yd-/320647988411?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aa81c04bb
Thats a really good deal for just one roll but it looks old or like it has been exposed to moisture for an extended period of time. It could be just that one roll in the photo but it should be perfectly round and flat. You don't want to spend $22.00 a meter for first quality cuben and then skimp on the adhesive.. The stuff I buy comes certified with signed paperwork which says the manufacture date and lot number that way if there is a problem then 3M can warranty the failure.
definitely agree that it's not worth saving a few bucks for shoddy adhesive...I ordered a roll so I'll report if it looks the same as in the picture. Seller says they're in unopened sealed bags, so I guess we'll see.

Ramen can be elevated beyond the simple bowl of noodles and used in recipes. This page contains creative ramen recipes
Here is a great tip for making ramen easier and with less mess.
Read and rate the best solutions below by giving them a "thumbs up".
Per serving: I take 3/4 cup chopped broccoli (fresh or frozen, cooked), crumbled fried bacon (1-2 strips), and mix with cooked ramen noodles. Add a bit of butter and a tiny bit of the flavoring packet that comes with the noodles (chicken, mushroom, beef or pork tend to work best) and you have a great tasting lunch or side dish.
By Bobbie L. from WI
My nine year old son loves it!
By Vickie from Canton, MI
I wanted a fast, tasty, inexpensive lunch for one, and this filled my needs at the moment! Almost everyone has a can of some sort of condensed soup lurking in the cupboard and a pack of Ramen noodles, add a bit of leftover cooked chicken, diced ham, or crumbled bacon, and lunch is on the way.
Fill a small saucepan with just enough water to cook the noodles in. While it's heating, toss in some pieces of leftover cooked meat if you want, it'll flavor the water somewhat. (Throw away the noodle seasoning packet, you won't need it.) Add the noodles to the water as it just begins to boil and leave them to cook.
Put the condensed soup in a microwave-safe bowl, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and put it in the microwave for 3 minutes.
When the soup is finished heating, dip the noodles and meat pieces out of the water they're cooking in and stir them into the soup, adding enough of the cooking water to get it to a consistency you like, less for the thicker 'casserole-like' version as shown in the photo or use use more liquid for a thinner soup.
By Mary L. from Mountain Pine, AR
This recipe can be made in twenty minutes and can be varied nicely.
Mix the broth according the package directions using the flavor packets provided in the noodle pack and bring to almost a boil. Drop in shrimp, bok choy, and mushrooms.
Let simmer for about three minutes until shrimp show first blushes of pink. Break noodles of each pack in half and drop into simmering broth. When shrimp are fully pink, soup is ready to be bowled and eaten.
Note: You can substitute shrimp for chicken or use beef roman noodles and substitute thinly sliced lean beef cut to bite sized pieces.

20 Minutes Cooking Time
Source: I created this in my kitchen looking for something different one Sunday afternoon and it drew raves, so we make it often now for snacks or lunches on cold afternoons. I also discovered that when I buy the bok choy, if I cut it into bite sized bits and freeze it, it freezes well without losing flavor or consistency when cooked. We now take ziploc bags and pre-prepare them with chicken, shrimp, or beef and the vegetables, so we can just reach into the freezer grab a ziploc and make the soup whenever we are in the mood for a fast snack or a quick lunch. It looks nice enough for company.
By Willow from Phia, PA
Super easy and cheap, this meal is great for anyone trying to eat on a budget, and sometimes just when the craving hits! I grew up eating these as my parents made them a lot when they were newly married and it just stuck. Probably one of the first meals I learned to make on my own!
Approximate Time: 10-15 min
Yield: 1 omelete
We love canned chicken noodle soup but always seem to have more broth than noodles. My husband got the idea to add ramen noodles to the soup and it satisfies the desire for more noodles and makes a nice lunch. Just prepare the soup as per the instructions on the can and while bringing to a boil, add broken ramen noodles to the broth. We just let it come to a boil again then let take it off the burner for a few minutes and serve. Love the extra noodles!
By HerkDia from Baltimore, Md
This is how I've been eating my ramen since I was a little girl.
Cook noodles then stir fry with fresh green beans and carrots. Add 1/2 flavor packet for low salt. Now add one large Tbsp. peanut butter and some hot sauce to taste. OMGoodness! This has got to be the most inexpensive Thai dish I ever had. Yum!
By Diana Sue from Lubbock, TX
My husband and I make "must-go" ramen frequently. Little bits of this and that get tossed into the water to cook and once everything is tender, we stir in the noodles and flavor packet. Tonight we had ramen with a sliced carrot, a little shredded cabbage, a handful of kale, and pea pods. Other times we'll toss in a couple mushrooms, some grilled onions and peppers and maybe some lettuce that's getting a little wilted. It doesn't matter how small an amount it is, it gets tossed into the pot. Every time we have ramen, it's a different meal. And if we happen to have a clean fridge, we toss in a bag of California mix. It's a great way to clean out the fridge and get lots of veggies into your soup.
By Rita from Minneapolis, MN
Does everyone like long stringy Ramen noodles? I don't, so I pulverize them (before cooking) in a plastic baggy (no spill) by smushing them with a glass-pint canning jar filled with whatever. After cooking, they are very easy to eat with a spoon - no ridiculous and complicated "twinings" on a fork; leave that to native Italians. Carpenters needn't waste valuable time during our very short lunch periods.
By Chuck from OH
I wanted a fancy Chinese meal cheap so I created it!
Cook ramen noodles (including the spice packets) in 3 cups water.
Add cabbage, soy sauce/oyster sauce and chicken.
cook 4 minutes.
Stir in a few shrimp to heat (if already precooked) and serve with hot tea!
Couldn't be simpler, but oh so good!

I like to make chicken flavored Ramen noodles and add sliced cooked carrots in to it. I buy a can of Libby's sliced carrots and just add some to the bottom of the bowl of noodles. It makes a great lunch and is another way to get your kids to eat more veggies.
This is a quick tip on how to make ramen in a bowl. Ramen is already a quick and easy meal but by making it in a bowl, you don't even have to dirty a pot.
Approximate Time: 4 minutes
Uncooked crushed Ramen noodles are great when sprinkled on chocolate or other flavors of pudding for a little crunch. Save the spice packet for making gravy or seasoning soup.
Use them instead of croutons on salads. They can be used on fruit salads as well as green salads but should be added right before eating so that they will not lose their crunchiness. They are also great as a stir-fry topping.
By Judy S. from Valley City, ND
Ramen noodles and their flavor packets can combine with cheese, sour cream, chilies, olives and pimientos to make an inexpensive casserole.
Dress up ramen noodle soup in a healthy, delicious way! Place ramen noodle soup in a bowl, just cover with water, and add your favorite greens (I especially love mustard greens). Add some soy sauce (you can use low sodium soy sauce), and cook as usual.

By Karen from Easthampton, MA
Ramen noodles make a great replacement for spaghetti, if you have extra sauce to use up. Just fix according to package directions and drain (don't use seasoning packet). It makes about enough for 2 servings.
By Camilla
This is a good pot luck dish, very delicious and refreshing. I knew it must be special when men ask for the recipe.
For Dressing: In a saucepan, heat all ingredients but sesame oil. When cool, add in sesame oil.
For Crunchies: Toast in dry skillet over low heat. Set aside to cool.
Toss vegetables together in a large bowl. Pour and mix dressing over cabbage mix about 1/2 hour before serving and add Crunchies just before serving.
Leftovers, if you have any, taste great, but the noodles may be a little softer.

In a large skillet, brown ground beef over medium heat 10 to 12 minutes or until beef is no longer pink, breaking up into 3/4 inch pieces. Remove with slotted spoon, pour off drippings. Season beef with 1 seasoning packet from noodles and set aside. In same skillet, combine 2 cup water, vegetables, noodles (broken up), ginger and remaining seasoning packet. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 3 minutes or until noodles are tender, stirring occasionally. Return beef to skillet, stir in green onion.
By Robin
I also sometimes add some basil, chopped onion and minced garlic to the broth before adding the ramen noodles. It tastes wonderful either way. Everyone that has tasted this loves it. It takes more time to tell how to make it than it does to do it!
Serves 4-6

By Al from Westtown, NY
AnswerWas this interesting? Yes No
My Mom made the best beef and vegetable soup. You brown your ground beef/chuck. Then on to the soup. She used canned stewed tomatoes, a can of whole kernel corn and a can or two of veg all. She would use onion flakes and then season to taste. Use the packet/s of ramen seasoning. When the soup is basically ready break up the noodles and them add them. When they are done you have soup. Fantastic on cold dreary days or when you just feel under the weather.
Sorry the recipe is a bit vague, but after she passed on its been hard to find all of her hand written recipes. I just rember parts of this one because it's one of my favorites. A lot of my friends now add the ramen noodles to soup and love it. You can add more vegetables as you like. If I ever find exact recipe, I will post it.
I have high blood pressure, so I can't have lots of salt. I like ramen noodles plus they're cheap, but I can't have all that sodium. Is there any way to make ramen noodles taste great with out using the salty seasoning? Thanks.
By Mary
AnswerWas this interesting? Yes No
Saute onion and garlic, add your cooked chicken or any meat, then put chicken broth, seasoned with pepper then add your vegetables.
There is a recipe called roasted chicken ramen soup out there. I can't find mine so if any one has a recipe please post it. Thanks.

70 years to the Alpha Quadrant?

Re: 70 years to the Alpha Quadrant?
We already now that VOY despite being more advanced than the Ent-D is in fact slower, after all in "Where No One Has Gone Before" it'll take the Enterprise over 300 hundred years to traverse the 2.7 million ly. So the maximum number of years would be 399 otherwise it would be over 400 years.
But then again it's always plot speed.
They picked the figure 70 year figure for a number of reasons
1.>To make the journey sound long impling that they wouldn't expect to see home in their lifetime.
2.>To make it easy for the audiance to follow, because obvioulsy the audiance could follow the fact that one season might span a few years.
On the continent of wild endeavour in the mountains of solace and solitude there stood the citadel of the time lords, the oldest and most mighty race in the universe looking down on the galaxies below sworn never to interfere only to watch.

Students need tests after pencil sharpener blade prank
- From: Mercury
- June 19, 2014
STUDENTS have been advised to have precautionary blood tests after cuts from a prank that went wrong at Kingston High School.
The school contacted the parents of injured children on Monday afternoon after a prank in which some students received cuts from pencil sharpener blades.
School principal Angela Bird said that teachers investigated the incident as soon as they became aware of it.
But the cuts were minor and no first aid was required.
"The school followed the established protocol and contacted the students' parents by phone that afternoon and advised them to contact their local GP for precautionary blood tests and to check if their child had received a Hep B vaccination," Ms Bird said.
"The risk of spreading a blood-borne virus in this setting is extremely low; however the Department takes incidents such as these extremely seriously and it is important for parents to seek advice and testing from their GP."
