|Site notes
Ram Janmabhoomi is the name given to the site that many Hindus believe to be the birthplace of Rama, the 7th avatar of the Hindu deity Vishnu. The Ramayana states that the location of Rama's birthplace is on the banks of the Sarayu river in the city of Ayodhya in Uttar Pradesh. There is historical evidence for the claim regarding the precise location. Hindu tradition maintains that a temple existed at the site in historical times. In 1528, a Mosque was built at the site by the Mughal general Mir Baqi, and named the "Babri Masjid" in honor of the Mughal Emperor Babur. From 1528 to 1853 the Mosque remained a place of worship for Muslims.[1] Following communal disputes in 1853, a separate area near the mosque was earmarked for Hindus to perform religious ceremonies.
In 1949 an idol of Rama was surreptitiously placed inside the mosque. Following Muslim outrage and a legal dispute, the gates to the mosque were locked. In the 1980s the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Bharatiya Janata Party launched a campaign to build a temple at the site. In 1992, a rally for this movement developed into a riot involving 150,000 people that led to the demolition of the Mosque. Since then, the future of the site has been debated in court. The debate around the history of the site is colloquially known as the Ayodhya dispute.
History of the site[edit]
According to historian Ram Sharan Sharma, "Ayodhya seems to have emerged as a place of religious pilgrimage in medieval times. Although chapter 85 of the Vishnu Smriti lists as many as fifty-two places of pilgrimage, including towns, lakes, rivers, mountains, etc., it does not include Ayodhya in this list."[2] Sharma also notes that Tulsidas, who wrote the Ramcharitmanas in 1574 at Ayodhya, does not mention it as a place of pilgrimage.
According to historian Romila Thapar "If we do not take Hindu mythology in account the first historical description of the city dates back recently to the 7th century, when the Chinese pilgrim Xuanzang observed there were 20 Buddhist temples with 3000 monks at Ayodhya, amongst a large Hindu population. In 1528, nobles under Mughal emperor Babur constructed a mosque over the disputed site. The mosque, called the Babri Masjid, has become a source of contention for some Hindus. At the end of the 19th century, Ayodhya contained 96 Hindu temples and 36 Muslim mosques. Little local trade was carried on, but the great Hindu fair of Ram Navami held every year was attended by about 500,000 people."[3]
In 1528, the Babri Mosque was constructed by Babur's general, Mir Baqi on the orders of Babur after the alleged demolition of a Ram temple.[4] From the time of its construction until 1859, the mosque was a place of worship for Muslims. That decade saw the first instances of religious violence at the site. In response, the British colonial administration extended access to a portion of the outer courtyard of the Masjid to Hindus who wished to conduct religious ceremonies there.[5] The semi-governmental Waqf Board, an Indian Muslim trust, owned the land on which the mosque stood. This state of affairs persisted until 1949, when activists of the Hindu Mahasabha desecrated the mosque by placing idols of Rama inside.[6] The Hindu activists then claimed that the idol had "miraculously appeared" inside the mosque.[7] This resulted in an uproar, and both the Sunni Wakf Board and the Hindu activists filed civil suits staking their respective claims to the site. The land was declared to be under dispute, and the gates of the mosque were locked.[5]
In 1989-90, the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) intensified its agitation in favor of a temple by laying the foundation for a Ram temple on the adjacent property.[8][9][10][10] On 6 December 1992, the VHP and its associates, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), organised a rally involving 150,000 VHP and BJP kar sevaks at the site of the mosque. The ceremonies included speeches by BJP leaders such as Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi and Uma Bharti.[11] The mob grew restive through the duration of the speeches, and stormed the mosque shortly after noon. A police cordon placed there to protect the mosque was heavily outnumbered. The mosque was attacked with a number of improvised tools, and brought to the ground in a few hours.[12][13] This occurred despite a commitment from the state government to the Indian Supreme Court that the mosque would not be harmed.[14][15] The demolition of the mosque triggered large-scale rioting across the country, with more than 2000 people, mostly Muslim, perishing in the violence.[16][17]
On 3 April 2009, the BJP released its election manifesto, again promising to construct a temple to Rama at the site.[18][19]
Prior to Indian independence, several travelers in the region recorded their testimonies about the history of the site.
Joseph Tieffenthaler[edit]
The Austrian Jesuit Joseph Tieffenthaler wrote in 1768: "Emperor Aurangzeb demolished the fortress called Ramcot, and erected on the same place a Mohammedan temple with three cupolas. Others believe that it was constructed by Babor."[20] Tieffenthaler also writes that Hindus celebrated Ram Navami (Rama's birth festival) in front of the mosque, and that the mosque was built on a temple.[21] He wrote: "The reason is that here existed formerly a house in which Beschan (Vishnu) took birth in the form of Rama and where it is said his three brothers were also born. Subsequently Aurangzeb and some say Babur destroyed the place in order to prevent the heathens from practising their ceremonies. However, they have continued to practice their religious ceremonies in both the places knowing this to have been the birth place of Rama by going around it three times and prostrating on the ground."[22]
Shykh Muhammad Azamat Ali Kakorawi Nami[edit]
Shykh Muhammad Azamat Ali Kakorawi Nami (1811–1893) wrote: 'According to old records, it has been a rule with the Muslim rulers from the first to build mosques, monasteries, and inns, spread Islam, and put (a stop to) non-Islamic practices, wherever they found prominence (of kufr). Accordingly, even as they cleared up Mathura, Bindraban, etc., from the rubbish of non-Islamic practices, the Babari mosque was built up in 923(?) A.H. under the patronage of Sayyid Musa Ashiqan in the Janmasthan temple in Faizabad-Avadh, which was a great place of (worship) and capital of Rama's father' (p. 9). 'Among the Hindus it was known as Sita ki Rasoi' (p. 10).[23] Zak Kakorawi, in his publication of the work of Shykh Azamat Ali Kakorawi Nami, also includes an excerpt written by Mirza Rajab Ali Beg Surur. Mirza Rajab Ali Beg Surur (1787–1867) wrote in Fasanah-i Ibrat that 'a great mosque was built on the spot where Sita ki Rasoi is situated. During the regime of Babar, The mosque was built in 923(?) A.H. under the patronage of Sayyid Mir Ashiqan… Aurangzeb built a mosque on the Hanuman Garhi… The Bairagis raised the mosque and erected a temple in its place. Then idols began to be worshipped openly in the Babari mosque where the Sita ki Rasoi is situated,' (pp. 71–72).
Other sources[edit]
A. Führer wrote that: 'Mir Khan built a masjid in A.H. 930 during the reign of Babur, which still bears his name. This old temple must have been a fine one, for many of its columns have been utilised by the Musalmans in the construction of Babur's Masjid.'[24]
H.R. Neville wrote that the Janmasthan temple "was destroyed by Babur and replaced by a mosque."[25] He also wrote "The Janmasthan was in Ramkot and marked the birthplace of Rama. In 1528 A.D. Babur came to Ayodhya and halted here for a week. He destroyed the ancient temple and on its site built a mosque, still known as Babur's mosque. The materials of the old structure [i.e., the temple] were largely employed, and many of the columns were in good preservation."[26]
Archaeology of the site[edit]

Court verdict[edit]
On 30 September 2010, Allahabad High Court ruled that the disputed site, with an area of 2,400 square feet (220 m2), on which the Babri Masjid had stood prior to its demolition on 6 December 1992, should be divided into three parts. The ruling stated that the third of the site on which the idol of Rama was placed would be granted to the party stating that it represented Rama. Another third of the site would be granted to the Sunni Wakf Board, and the remaining third to the Hindu sect Nirmohi Akhara.[27] The verdict was appealed in the Supreme Court of India. In an order dated 27 Jan 2013, the court stated that the status quo should be maintained at the disputed site, while the appeals were dealt with.[28]

Film Description: Kids offers a bleak, unblinking view of a group of vacuous, thoughtless New York City teens in their ceaseless quest for sex, drugs, and trouble. The film primarily follows Telly (Leo Fitzpatrick), who, having just realized the conquest of his latest virgin, brags that by day's end he will claim one more. While he and his friends brag to each other about their sexual exploits, Jenny (Chloë Sevigny) describes her own less-than-romantic encounter with Telly. Soon after the conversation, she learns that Telly, the only boy with whom she has slept, has infected her with the AIDS virus. Devastated, she sets out to find him and share the news. Meanwhile, Telly has set his sights on Darcy (Yakira Peguero), a lovely young girl whom he invites for a skinny dip at the local pool. Together with his friends, Telly drags Darcy along, and the entire crew jump the fence after hours. There he presents his now-familiar spiel which Darcy naïvely accepts, and the scene is set for disaster as the group heads back to a vacant apartment for an evening of sex, booze, drugs, and debauchery. Jenny finally locates Telly at the impromptu party and rushes to confront him, although she may be too late to save the next virgin in line from sharing her fate.

Progenitors of the Information Age
The Development of Chips and Computers
James W. Cortada
Ground zero and the first minute of the Computer Revolution occurred at 9:00 A.M., April 21, 1952, at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. Representatives from more than thirty companies gathered for a six-day seminar on the transistor, learning about what would become the heart of the computer. The companies had paid a $25,000 fee for their representatives to attend, and with that attendance to sign up for the right to manufacture the transistor. If one had to pick the one time, place, and item that heralded the arrival of the computer, this event is as good as any because the key to understanding why the computer was such an American story depended more on appreciating how this machine was diffused than on how it was invented. The initial development of the computer for primarily military purposes occurred simultaneously in Great Britain and the United States, with smaller projects underway in Germany and in Poland, but the transistor was clearly a U.S. invention that we can precisely document as having been created at Bell Labs in the I940s. It was the decision of American Telephone & Telegraph (AT&T) to license this technology to other firms that made it possible for the transistor to work its way out of one company into many, and therefore to be used in ways unanticipated in the beginning. One of those unanticipated uses would be as the heart of this new machine we call the computer.
AT&T recognized that by sharing the rights to manufacture the transistor it would fulfill a traditional commitment as a nationally regulated utility in disseminating knowledge useful to the public while generating revenues from licensing agreements. This act would also stave off real concerns about what the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice might do; at that moment, government lawyers were pondering the massive market power of AT&T.

Would having Philip Rivers or Billy Volek behind center make a difference? Is allowing LaDainian Tomlinson to languish on the sidelines a big loss?

When I purchased this scale, I weighed 392 lbs. Everyday I would wake up and read the part of the owner's manual that says "Weight limit: 330 lbs". I'd say to myself "Marcus, one day that's going to be you." Then I would throw on my all gray XXXXL workout attire, pop on my Kenny Loggins/Taylor Swift mix and burn fat in a Rocky-style exercise montage. I'm happy to report that today I weigh 321 lbs and I'm loving my Harbor Freight bathroom scale.

We moved the scale to several flat surfaces within the house. We use a 15 lb dumbbell as our yardstick. The scale reported different weights at each location. In terms of price, you can't beat it as we used a 20% off on the already regular low price of $12.99. But if we can't trust the readout, we can't use the scale so we decided to return it.

Fantastic scale
By Amanda

I bought this scale because it was so inexpensive, and didn't expect much from it. I've had it for almost 2 years now and it's still completely accurate to both my doctor and Weight Watchers. I would buy this again in a heartbeat.
very nice looking

Easy to use and really nice looking. Great Value.It is about -1.5 pounds off though. (some people might like shedding a pound and half so easy!)
Won't read small weights
By Tool nut
from Jackson, NJ
After exchanging a bad scale, the current one has worked fine for several years. I would buy it again. The other day I discovered a little quirk. I was curious to see what a very heavy pair of winter boots actually weighed. I put them on the scale and it still read 00. I then weighed myself with and without the boots and got a 6 lb. difference. The scale just does not work at the low end. I have no idea at what weight it starts to work. Since this is a scale for people weight, this is no big deal.

Scale weight is 4 lbs more

This scale weighs my wife and I 4 lbs heavier than the gyms scales. We have an older analog scale that agrees with the lighter weight.

I got it home today and removed the paper from under the batteries. Closed up the battery compartment but the thing doesn't work. No numbers, just a blank display, even after tapping repeatedly. I will take it in tomorrow for an exchange.

Make sure it works before buying
By DatGeek

looked great when I opened it. took the protective backing off the batteries. and it didnt work. read the instructions. sait to turn on the on/off switch. mine had no on/off switch just a hole where one probably should be. if I pushed the F/C button it would com on and weigh me but after it shut down I had to push the button again to get it on. not worth the trouble. check it before you buy it make sure it works.

Karl Rove speculates on Hilliary's Health.
She has always had character damage , so.......................
Didn't see this.. : ) Will use the same reply.
If Karl was a girl..he would have fitted nicely in here in some clicks.. He's not a doctor..he can have an opinion..but he's not a doctor. It is no secret that she couldn't testify (if I remember correctly) because of falling and hitting her head?? Or something like that..so I'm sure it will be brought up if she runs.. In my opinion she hasn't looked well for a long time.. Should she run? Her decision..I wont be voting for her..

First of all, I am aware that this question is dangerously close to: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1231860/how-to-mappath-in-a-unit-test-in-c
I'm hoping however, that it has a different solution. My issue follows:
In my code I have an object that needs to be validated. I am creating unit tests for each validation method to make sure it is validating correctly. I am creating mock data and loading it into the object, then validating it. The problem is that within the validation, when an error occurs, an error code is assigned. This error code is used to gather information about the error from an xml file using Server.MapPath. However, when trying to get the xml file, an exception is thrown meaning the file cannot be found.
Since MapPath is in my validation code, and not my unit test, how do I get my unit test to recognize the path? Does this question make sense?
Error Line (In my Validation code NOT my unit test):
XDocument xdoc = XDocument.Load(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("App_Data/ErrorCodes.xml"));
Simplified: The Unit Test calls a method in my program that calls Server.MapPath which then fails.

A&M loss will only feed Franchione critics
Olin Buchanan
Rivals.com College Football Columnist
� Notes: Huskers clinch North | Game Story | Box score
COLLEGE STATION, Texas � In the Big 12 standings it will appear merely as a third loss in an overall solid season.
Yet, Texas A&M coach Dennis Franchione might have lost much more than a football game on Saturday when Nebraska stunned the Aggies 28-27 with a late comeback that probably shouldn't have happened.
He lost more credibility with disgruntled A&M fans who have called for his firing. He might have even lost some supporters who have stubbornly backed him through four difficult years.
This loss hurt. It might hurt more than that 77-0 debacle at Oklahoma three years ago, and maybe more than that 17-16 loss to the Sooners last week.
It might hurt more than any lopsided loss in Lubbock, or last year's blowout at the hands of Iowa State. Maybe � just maybe � this loss hurt more than any defeat dealt by rival Texas.
1. Kick a field goal
2. Avoid a huge penalty
3. Make a final defensive stand
Or they could have just stayed in bounds.
The Aggies had rallied from an early two-touchdown deficit to take a 27-21 lead. A&M was in position to get a game-clinching field goal or leave Nebraska precious little time when linebacker Mark Dodge's interception put A&M at the Cornhuskers' 29-yard line with just under three minutes remaining.
But on first down freshman running back Mike Goodson ran around right end and went out of bounds, which stopped the clock and saved the Cornhuskers one of their two remaining time outs.
"It was an outside zone play and we told Michael not to go out of bounds, but he really didn't have any choice," Franchione said. "It was just one of those things."
He didn't have a choice? Maybe. Maybe not. But Franchione certainly did. He could have run inside to keep the clock moving and force Nebraska to use its two timeouts.
A&M hadn't been overly successful running between the tackles, but at least they could have left Nebraska with 90 seconds or less for a final series.
Instead, A&M consumed just 53 seconds on the ensuing drive. The possession ended when Nebraska's Barry Turner blocked Layne Neumann's 42-yard field goal attempt. The Cornhuskers took over at their 25-yard line with 1:57 to play.
The Huskers needed 11 plays � and a key roughing the passer penalty at the A&M 17 � to go 75 yards for Zac Taylor's game-winning 9-yard touchdown pass to Maurice Purify.
"We work on the two-minute drill every Thursday in practice against our defense, and we have a great defense," Taylor said. "A lot of times we execute it to perfection. We are always confident that we can go in there and drive to score to win."
Nebraska might have still gone 75 yards in 90 seconds, but those precious seconds may have been the difference between winning and losing.
"You know, there are a lot of plays in that game that you can take over," Franchione said. "I mean, we make the field goal, we bat down the pass and don't get a roughing penalty, I call better plays at this point in time or that point in time.
"That was just a matter of a few seconds. Obviously, they were going to use their timeouts then, and they used their timeouts well. So that may have saved them a timeout right there. But I can't say that (caused the loss)."
But that's not the only decision that will be scrutinized.
In last week's loss to OU, Jorvorskie Lane did not get the ball on a third-and-goal at the Sooners' 2-yard line. The Aggies eventually kicked a field goal instead of getting a game-tying touchdown.
They were in a similar position trailing Nebraska 21-10 late in the third quarter. But on third-and-2 at the 3, Lane was sent in motion out of the backfield to a chorus of boos.
Quarterback Stephen McGee's pass was incomplete, and the Aggies settled for a field goal.
The 83,336 roared its approval � perhaps in frustration � when Lane finally got the call midway through the fourth quarter and plunged into the end zone for the touchdown that gave A&M the lead.
Overall Lane carried just six times for 13 yards.
"There wasn't a decision not to give Jorvorskie the ball," Franchione said. "It was a decision of trying to call plays to move the ball the very best you can. I think at one point in time in the third quarter we had 27 rushing yards. It's pretty hard to run from tackle to tackle on those guys."
It's also hard to please angry Aggies, who have endured a 2-10 record in November since Franchione's arrival.
But that doesn't mean the call for Franchione's firing should be answered.
The Aggies have shown improvement from last year's 5-6 season. They've posted eight victories and their three losses have come by a combined six points.
Franchione still has his supporters, but maybe not as many.

We're Doomed: Scientists Discover a Venomous Tarantula the Size of a Human Face
Huge: The female spider (Picture: Ranil Nanayakkara/British Tarantula Society)
It's been a rough day for arachnophobes -- news traveled from Sri Lanka this morning that scientists have identified a spider the size of a human face.
Introducing the Poecilotheria rajaei.
See also: - Scientists Discover Genitalia-Headed Fish - Scientists Discover Jumping Cockroach - We're Doomed: Scientists Discover Spiders with Claws
The male spider (Picture: Ranil Nanayakkara/British Tarantula Society)
The tarantula has a leg span of 8 inches and, according to the Sri Lankan scientists who've studied it, has enough venom to kill snakes, small birds, lizards, and mice.
Ranil Nanayakkara, co-founder of Sri Lanka's Biodiversity Education and Research writes that the spider was "slightly smaller than the size of the plate we have dinner on."
The colorful spiders are tree dwellers and are mainly found in India and Sri Lanka. But because of deforestation, writes Nanayakkara, the spider has been forced out of its natural habitat.
Sweet dreams.

New tank(filter and stocking questions)
Hello everyone,
I like this forum, seems likes it been around awhile and I like the answers the big posting people tend to give. So I figured I would make this my new hobby and join the club :)
Ok, so that being said I have a questions for the forum.
I have a 30g tank with a Fluval 206 External Filter. I did a fish less cycle and made sure my water was good before adding any fish. My first question is, how often do I have to change the material in the filter? Since it is layers do you only change a bit at a time? also I only have what came with the filter, is there anything else someone can recommend putting in?
The other major question I have which seems to be very common but no solid answers I can find.
How many fish can a 30g tank hold. I currently have:
2 Celebes Rainbow
4 blood fin tetras
2 cherry barbs
I would like to add a catfish(I have sand substrate) and the family wanted to add a few more other randoms. If I have an excuse to get another tank :) all the better, but really is what I have enough?
So far I've changed the media (felt & floss) after a months run. I'm going to let it run for two months before
opening it and rinsing all the media and see what happens. My tank is fairly heavily planted, I suspect that helps.
As for the stocking question I suggest AqAdvisor. You can play with different set ups to get a better idea of the results of various set ups. Just google AqAdvisor.
Hope it helps.
I change the media basically when it is falling apart. In my canister filter I still haven't changed the pads after two years, and that is an unplanted tank. Removing a bunch of the media each month to replace it, just means a loss of some of your bacteria and money. Much better to just clean them when it's needed.
Not really with the fish mentioned, but I do know they are all shoaling species and should be in bigger groups than that.
yeah I JUST found aqadvisor and I'm starting to see I'm kind of light lol I think for now I'll add a few of each to get 5 cherry barbs
5 bloodfins
5 rainbows.
Then hold out there and see how it goes.
Thanks for the advice on the filter. I have not even opened it since the tank fully cycled. I was just not sure if there was some after market media that would be better than what comes with it.
Thanks again so far :)
This is a 30 breeder? 12 inches high? If that's right I might do one, maybe two shoals plus bottom feeders. I'm a fan of larger groups and fewer species though since it just looks better to me. Even if you don't go that route I'd still up things even further so you're in the 6-8 range at least.
So I went and measured it to be sure and it is according to aqadviosr a 28g bowfront.

Slaying of 'good kid' in Pittsburgh's Allentown neighborhood angers Brashear High School teacher
A teenager who was fatally shot on Thursday evening on a street corner in the city's Allentown neighborhood was a "good kid" focused on learning, his friends and relatives said.
Police officers found Deondre Pace, 16, on the ground at Beltzhoover Avenue and Climax Street with a gunshot in the chest about 7:15 p.m. He was pronounced dead at UPMC Mercy hospital, Uptown.
Homicide detectives do not yet have a motive for the shooting, and no arrests have been made.
"I heard there was a shooting in the neighborhood, but didn't think much about it because it happens a lot up here," said Brashear High School teacher Tom Hurt, who lives a few blocks away from Pace in Allentown. "But when I learned Deondre had been killed, I was just so angry. I just couldn't believe it."
Pace, a sophomore at Brashear, studied in the life skills program Hurt teaches, which is aimed at helping students with physical and mental disabilities or behavior problems.
"Deondre was a good kid — very focu sed on learning. He loved anything to do with animals," said Hurt, 57, adding that he regularly spoke with Pace outside of school.
"Deondre asked to come to my house on Wednesday to talk about some issues he was dealing with, but he never showed up. We were planning to try to get together on Thursday, but he was killed before that could happen," Hurt said. "It's just so sens eless tha t he had to die this way."
Pace's family and friends set up a makeshift memorial with candles and stuffed animals on the sidewalk where he was killed.
Pace's aunt, Antoinette White, believes her nephew knew the person who shot him.
"He was a good kid, not the kind who went looking for trouble," White said. "And he wasn't the type of person who judged or stereotyped people. Unfortunately, because of that, I don't think he realized that you pick and choose your friends, and it's sad that the friends you chose are sometimes the bad ones."

You can always look at the pictures of Pripyat (a town near Chernobyl nuclear power plant) if you want to see what a fairly large town would look like if it were abandoned and not maintained. For example - apartment buildings 24 years after the Chernobyl disaster:
I've seen the trailer for this and the premise looked like it wasn't fully thought through. Since it's another JJ Abrams mystery series, I'll wait for it to get at least to the second season.
The area around Chernobyl is interesting for a lot of reason. In tis case though its not immediately refelctive of normal plant over growth since a large chunk of the plantlife in the immediate area was killed off by the radiation. The plants do eventually return and thrive, but they were initially hindered.

Up to Somethin'
The ring from the book, gold with a small ruby heart. On the picture, is it me or blair vaguely gives the femme fatale here?
yeah its a signature.
she wears the same ring in the books also.
is this before her face gets smashed into the cake?? lol she looks great though!
It's not the ring Nate gave her and for sure it's not a ring that Chuck gave her, because we would have found out in one of the episodes. Probably it's just an it thing , like a signature...
I think it is her mother's ring
yeah I know,, I wanna know too. I heard something about it been giving from Chuck but then I missed that episode xD
That's the the Blair we all know and love! Question, for anybody that can answer. She's been wearing that red ring since season 1, does anyone know where it came from? I thought it was a Nate thing but she still wears it a lot now

CLINTON, Tenn. (AP) -- One day after the motto "In God We Trust" was placed on the Anderson County Courthouse, a defendant has asked that his charge be dropped because of it.
Kenneth Darrin Fisher of Clinton is charged with trying to kill his wife and illegal weapons possession. His trial is scheduled for March.
According to the Knoxville News Sentinel the 22-year-old Fisher is of Cherokee descent and his motion states his spiritually follows the "Red Road."
The paper filed Wednesday by his lawyer says the inscription on the courthouse effectively converted the building into what the motion termed "a temple of fundamentalist Christianity," violating the First Amendment.
Anderson County District Attorney General Dave Clark said he is studying the motion before responding.

A number of times I've run into issues with postponing and incorrect dates and later realized it was because of my time zone not being changed in RTM. This happens infrequently enough that I forget how to fix it, but frequently enough to cause frustration.
Posted at 2:30pm on August 24, 2010
|trantjd says:
I completely agree! I have set my phone to not automatically update the time based on my location just so RTM dates work correctly. As such, I've got to adjust the time in my head anytime I travel. This shouldn't be this hard to deal with, especially when I very rarely use anything other than a specific day for when tasks are due (no time).

Fitch Affirms Banco do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul's Ratings; Outlook Revised to Positive Business Wire SAO PAULO -- December 20, 2013 Fitch Ratings has revised the Rating Outlook to Positive from Stable on the Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings (IDR) and National Long-Term Rating of Banco do Estado do Rio Grande do Sul S.A. (Banrisul). Fitch also affirmed Banrisul's ratings as follows: --Long-term Foreign and Local currency IDRs at 'BB +'; Outlook to Positive from Stable; --Short-term Local and Foreign Currency IDR at 'B'; --Viability Rating at 'bb+'; --Support rating at '4'; --Support Rating Floor at 'B'; --National Long Term rating at 'AA-(bra)'; Positive Outlook; --National Short-Term rating at 'F1+(bra)'; --First Issuance of Senior Unsecured Letras Financeiras at 'AA-(bra)'; --Tier II Subordinated notes due Feb 2022 at 'BB-'. KEY RATING DRIVERS The Positive Outlook reflects Banrisul's consistent performance compared to local and international peers in addition to Fitch's expectation that the bank will preserve both asset quality and profitability metrics going forward. The ratings factor in the bank's regional importance, its stable retail funding base, resilient profitability and liquidity ratios, compatible with its retail profile. On the other hand, the ratings are balanced by the bank's modest national presence and the fiercer competition with larger Brazilian banks. Fitch does not assign ratings to the state of Rio Grande do Sul (RS) and, therefore, does not credit this support to the bank. The Support Rating '4' and the Support Rating Floor 'B' reflect the agency's opinion that in a stress scenario, a limited support from the Federal Government would be possible given Banrisul's relative importance to the state. The Support Rating also reflects the absence of any explicit guarantee from the Federal Government to the entity. Pursuant to this strategy, Banrisul also engages on secured personal loans, benefited by the recent acquisition of Promotora de Vendas Bem Vindo that allows the origination of payroll deductible loans and financial products nationwide. In September 2013, about 27% of total loans were originated for clients domiciled outside of RS relatively stable in relation to 2012. Bem Vindo should also offer other products such as insurance and credit cards. Following market practices, Banrisul created a company to consolidate its credit card activities in October, 2013. This decision is still pending some approvals from the State's House of Representatives and exemplifies the political influences Banrisul is subjected when implementing its commercial strategies. This can constitute a competitive challenge when compared to private peers. As per 3Q13, the bank's nonperforming loans (NPL) above 90 days and its reserve coverage ratio were 3.7% and 165%, respectively, showing a slight worsening trend(2.8% and 239% in 2012). Nevertheless, the agency expects that the weaker economic performance expected would not translate into further credit deterioration and margin compression in 2014. The reduction on provision reserves along 2013 was mainly driven by the revision of the bank's provisioning policies. Despite this measure, Fitch notes that Banrisul's reserves still remains above minimum required by the local regulator and compare well with regional peers. Benefited by resources from the subordinated debt issued in 2012 (total outstanding at BRL1.8 bn in September 2013), liquid investments covered a high 50% of the bank's total short-term obligations in September 2013. In addition, Fitch Core Capital reached a satisfactory 14.6%, compatible with its retail activities. Banrisul is the seventh largest bank in the financial system by total deposits and the largest in the state, provides payroll services to various entities in RS and holds a historically stable deposit base equivalent to almost 35% of the region's total deposits. With 461 branches and controlled by the state of RS, Banrisul is present in 85% of the municipalities. As a retail bank, it focuses primarily on individuals and middle market companies. Banrisul Debt Letras Financeiras: Banrisul's senior unsecured domestic issuances rank equal with its other senior unsecured debt, and its ratings are aligned to the bank long-term national ratings. USD Tier 2 Subordinated Notes: Banrisul's 'BB-' rated subordinated notes due January 2022 are rated two notches below the VR 'bb+' of the bank (one notch for loss severity characteristics and subordinated status and one notch for its moderate risk of failure in performance). These notes will rank pari passu to the bank's subordinated debt and have a cumulative coupon deferral mechanism that can be exercised if the minimum regulatory capital is breached. Rating Sensitivities Banrisul VR and IDRs The IDRs and National Scale Ratings are on Positive Outlook. The ability of the bank to preserve their current capital levels and profitability jointly with its good asset quality ratios (with 90 days NPLs around 3% with more than 150% loan loss reserve coverage and contained loan charge offs) would result in an upgrade. Conversely, an unexpected deterioration of its asset quality and profitability may result in the Outlook to come back to stable. Negative Factors: Banrisul may be downgraded if asset quality ratios show a significant deterioration (90 days past due loan ratio above 5% and weaker loan loss coverage) and/or its Fitch Capital Ratio (FCC) comes below 12% in a continued manner. Any change of Banrisul's ratings may lead to a review of ratings assigned to its issuances. Additional information is available at 'www.fitchratings.com' or 'www.fitchratings.com.br'.

I was lucky enough to sit down with author Cassandra Clare when she was in Philly...she's the author of a great series of books (Mortal Instruments) and a super-cool chick! She brought along with her cast-members (yes the film is about to open!!!), Lilly Collins who plays Clary Fray and Jamie Campbell Bower, who plays Jace. Cassandra shares how her successful writing career began, Jamie shares his love of acting and Lilly, who knew the Mortal Inastrument Series before being cast, shared her excitement getting this role.
It's a quick conversation, so listen when you have a sec...Super Fan of the series was in-studio with me and she got to ask a question too!

When storing food in the cupboard, turn it around so that the nutrition facts are facing outward instead of a picture of the product. That way, your first thought will be "are those calories worth it?", instead of an appetizing picture that might make you lose control of your food choices.
When storing prepackaged food containers in the pantry or fridge, face the Nutrition Labels out. That way the nutrition facts are immediately available as you begin looking for what to eat in the pantry or fridge.
Why pretend you will do something if you know you will not? Why not just face the facts and go on your merry way. Last month I decided that I was going to learn to cook Asian food. Who was I kidding? I hate to cook.....I might as well face it.....it's not going to change!334
I plan ahead with meals as much as possible and I always try to put them into the nutrition tracker in the morning before I have lunch and dinner. This way I can see what I'm lacking and may need to add in and what I'm getting too much of and need to cut out. This is especially helpful for me with eating out. I'll look up a restaurants nutrition facts and if I can't afford that many calories today I move on to another place and plan ahead that way.

Syrian troops drive insurgents out of Damascus suburb
Syrian security forces have cleared a northern suburb of the capital of insurgents fighting against the government of President Bashar al-Assad, Press TV reports. The Syrian Army drove foreign-backed insurgents out of the Damascus suburb al-Tal on Friday. On Wednesday, Syrian forces killed several insurgent leaders and destroyed their command center in al-Tal. On August 1, Assad said Syria is engaged in a "crucial and heroic" battle that will determine the destiny of the nation. Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011. Damascus says outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorists are the driving factor behind the unrest and deadly violence while the opposition accuses the security forces of being behind the killings. The Syrian government says that the chaos is being orchestrated from outside the country, and there are reports that a very large number of the armed militants are foreign nationals. MHB/HGL

Personal Tax
HMRC has set up specific units to deal with the personal tax affairs of the wealthiest taxpayers in the UK.
HMRC has also invested significantly in technology solutions which enable the analysis of substantial amounts of data to identify tax risks.
A particular focus for HMRC is those who hold assets in overseas jurisdictions.
High Net Worth Unit
The High Net Worth Unit (HNWU) was set up in 2009 to review the personal tax affairs of the 6,200 wealthiest people in the UK, each with a total wealth of at least £20m.
The HNWU has brought in over £937m in extra tax (over and above amounts declared on tax returns) since it was set up. In 2013/14 the tax collected was £268m, up from £222m in 2012/13.
The HNWU comprises around 380 staff working in a number of locations across the UK.
The Affluent Unit
Initially the Affluent Unit (AU) was charged with reviewing the tax affairs of the UK's top one percent of wealthy individuals, who each have wealth of at least £2.5m and/or income of more than £150,000.
The unit was expanded to deal with taxpayers with a net worth of £1m instead of the previous £2.5m. This significantly widened the number of taxpayers to be reviewed by this unit. The AU now covers taxpayers with income over £150,000 or wealth between £1m and £20m.
By the end of December 2012 the AU had brought in an extra £75m in tax with a target of £586m by the end of 2015.
The AU comprises around 200 staff based in a number of locations across the UK.
Offshore Co-Ordination Unit (OCU)
The OCU is coordinating HMRC's crackdown on offshore tax evasion and comprises 100 offshore tax investigators. Their responsibility includes the dealing with the legacy of the UK Switzerland Tax Agreement that entered into force on 1 January 2013. HMRC states that the OCU "will look to fully exploit the increasing amount of offshore information at HMRC's disposal, including bank account data."
Technology solutions
HMRC's 'Connect' system contains more than a billion records including taxpayer records as well as information from the internet, other government departments, within the private sector and information from other countries.
HMRC highlights that the system holds data including income, interest from bank accounts, ownership of businesses and data from tax authorities in other countries. The system uses analytics to identify connections that show true levels of income and spending that can reveal those evading their taxes.
HMRC have already used Connect in conjunction with European Union Savings Directive data gathered from participating states, writing to thousands of taxpayers about their offshore assets and are planning another wave of similar letters.
Accelerated payment and follower notices.
In 2014 the government passed powerful new legislation to collect the millions of pounds of tax postponed pending tribunal hearings where HMRC consider that a tax avoidance scheme has been used and challenged by HMRC. Where an arrangement carries a 'DOTAS' number, or where an arrangement is similar to one that HMRC have already successfully challenged at tribunal, HMRC are able to issue an 'accelerated payment notice' or 'follower notice' respectively. These notices ultimately allow HMRC to collect the tax before the outcome of any hearing is known. KPMG can help clients in receipt of these notices. Implications for high net wealth individuals.
Consequently there is a high likelihood of an enquiry from HMRC for high net wealth individuals (HNWIs). HNWIs and their advisors need to be prepared. By undertaking reviews of their tax affairs at an early stage, in addition to substantially minimising future compliance costs, HNWIs can gain a sense of certainty and peace of mind that a strategy is in place should HMRC write to them.
KPMG is able to provide advice on whether a client's tax affairs are likely to be robust if HMRC challenged the position. Where a review is undertaken, if HMRC was then to ask additional questions we should be able to help achieve early resolution of the issues as much of the work will already have been undertaken. Engaging our help from an early stage should help ensure that clients are prepared should an enquiry arise.
For those already under enquiry or who have received a letter from HMRC about overseas assets, our team is on hand to assist. Our focus is on ensuring that any HMRC intervention is handled efficiently and effectively. KPMG was recently instructed to act in a long running investigation which the client's existing tax advisors were unable to resolve, where the client was incurring substantial fees over a period of approximately three years. Our private client team and tax investigation specialists were able to offer a multi-disciplinary approach, using a combination of thorough understanding of the tax legislation and engagement management, giving HMRC the necessary assurance at each stage that all risks had been cleared. Within four months of KPMG's involvement the matter had been resolved.
