Mingo makes return in exhibition win
During the last two seasons, Drey Mingo has had only four games in Mackey Arena that she hasn't had to worry about illness or injury.
The sixth-year senior was able to add No. 5 on Sunday afternoon, as Purdue played its only public exhibition game in preparation for the 2012-13 season, and blew out NAIA Lindsey Wilson College.
Mingo, a 6-foot-2 forward who missed last season with a torn ACL and endured bacterial meningitis the year before, scored 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting - she hit her only three-point attempt - with five rebounds, two blocks and a steal in 16 minutes.
"Drey just does so much for us on the court," point guard KK Houser said following Purdue's 89-33 victory. "She posts hard every time and is such a big target. It's nice to have such a consistent scorer down low and she can step outside and hit the three. It's amazing having Drey back."
But Purdue's exhibition wasn't only about Mingo; the game provided the Boilermakers with their last tuneup before the regular season begins on Saturday.
It started out ugly. Although the Boilermakers had played a closed-door scrimmage a week ago vs. Indiana State, they looked rusty for the first two-plus minutes against Lindsey Wilson, as the Blue Raiders, who were playing their third game in as many days, raced to an 8-0 lead.
"The first four minutes were way too fast," Coach Sharon Versyp said. "We had too much sugar or something. Everyone was dribbling the ball all over the place."
But the Boilermakers responded, and it was a freshman who helped settled them down. Immediately after entering, point guard April Wilson found Camille Redmon with a dish inside, giving Purdue its first lead at the 14-minute mark. Then, Wilson converted a steal into a layup for a four-point edge.
Minutes later, Mingo put back in an offensive rebound, then hit her triple from the top of the circle. On the third trip in the series, Courtney Moses took a pass from Houser, finished and hit the free throw for a 12-point lead. It was never closer, as the Boilers were up 43-18 at the break.
Wilson, who had 10 points off the bench, with three rebounds, four steals and an assist without a turnover, seemed to be a good influence on her teammates.
"One reason we recruited April is that she just really has that poise and she defers to others all the time," Versyp said. "That's what she did in high school; she always made people around her better and that's a very good thing for us."
Purdue started the second half with its three point guard - Houser, Courtney Moses and Wilson - on the floor together, with Sam Ostarello and Mingo (Chantel Poston started the game, in for Wilson). And the unit, which Versyp had wanted to feature, looked good.
In the first four minutes after the break, Wilson hit two three-pointers; Moses had a layup off a Houser feed, fed Houser for a triple, found Mingo inside for a layup and did the same with Ostarello, who converted into a three-point play. It ended with the Boilers up 39.
"I did that one time in practice the other day and we had some good results," she said. "I'm trying different lineups, different things but I think we're extremely quick and can handle and push the ball with those three.
"And then if you have Sam O and Drey in, they can run. I think that can be our quickest lineup - it doesn't always mean it's going to be our most effective - but I think we need to play it at times."
Ostarello led Purdue with 14 points, the high-scorer among five in double-figures. Houser had 13, with five assists and four steals in 18 minutes and Moses scored 11, despite being only 4-of-14 from the floor with seven misses from three-point range.
Purdue shot 46 percent for the game - LWC shot 27 percent and had 30 turnovers - with just 11 turnovers. And the Boilers controlled the boards, winning on the glass almost 2-to-1.
Following its scrimmage vs. ISU, Purdue said its goals were to be better on the boards and in transition defense.
"We still have a lot way to go, but we cleaned it up," Houser said.
Purdue did a lot well Sunday - twelve players played at least nine minutes and the four freshmen combined for 25 points and 13 rebounds - but the best sight of the day was Mingo.
"I was really, really excited to get to enjoy the game that I love with the people that I love again," she said. "It was awesome to be back out on the court."

Ian Somerhalder & Meghan Auld Couple Up
Ian Somerhalder holds hands with his girlfriend, NYU alum Meghan Auld, on a snowy Sunday afternoon (February 28) in New York City.
The 31-year-old Vampire Diaries hunk recently tweeted about the recent Chile earthquake, which has resulted in over 700 deaths. Ian said, "Chile… I'm at a loss for words. So uhh, I'll help in whatever way I can and simply say sorry to anyone and everyone hurt by this thing."

With that kind of faint praise I could hardly wait to get my hands on the DOL report. It is 62 pages of tables, text and data, some rehashed from other reports and a lot of it from 2008, which is a lifetime ago in terms of the economy and healthcare.
There is some new information on 12 selected benefits: ambulance services, durable medical equipment, diabetes care management, ER visits, infertility treatments, kidney dialysis, maternity care, organ and tissue transplantation, physical therapy, prosthetics, gynecological exams and sterilization.
But here's the rub: for a report that's supposed to help guide decisions about what constitutes essential healthcare benefits, it's very light on what is actually covered. Part of the problem stems from the definition of "covered" used in the report, which requires that health plan documents specifically mention the service as covered to be counted as covered. If a service isn't mentioned its falls into the "not mentioned" category, which the report explains means the service may or may not be covered. Huh?
For six of the 12 benefits the "not mentioned" percentage is larger than the "covered" percentage. What does that tell anyone who is trying to justify identifying one benefit over another as essential? If you followed the logic of the DOL report you'd give ER visits the nod over diabetes care management.

Draw This Again by kiki-kitWatch
©2012-2016 kiki-kit
i know i improved
but holy crap
and the dates were purely coincidental xDDD
yeah ;u;
characters [c] me
<EDIT: dfjkbsdfkjbhfgkjnhfgh i made it to the semi-finalists
this is probably one of the first contests i've entered for a LONG time. last contest i ever entered was probably back on my other account xD and that was just a contest held by some deviant
never thought i was worthy of getting so far into a dA contest ;u;
but im not going to doubt myself anymore :'D yay~
*under their hair*
I just wanted to post this comment in the most appropriate place for an improvement suggestion, if you're wondering.
You have improved very well. Now one suggestion I might make is that perhaps you can remove "floating eye" from your style (for example, when someone's hair is covering their eyebrows/eyes, don't make it so that the outline of the eye is visible under their eyes or something). I love your art and keep up the good work.
I love your HS fanart and that pose study.
It's so beautiful now! And congrats on the semi final spot amgio!
your character is so cute I love george!!
awwww definitely like the composition in the second one it relays their feelings better good luck
aww i love both the first ones really adorable! and then the second one is cute, it's like these peoples relationship has matured love it!
So amazing!
i like the first more...
AWWW! That's super sweet! It's like 2 years ago he's wooing the girl and now they're together and revisiting the place one of their earlier dates!
You made it to the finals!
Go Kiki!
Go Kiki!
aw i like how the couple look like their relationship has grown as well :')
Your art is really good and you should have been a finalist instead of a semi finalist but at least you got this far and good job What program do you use?
ahh the picture is fantastic itself gives reaaallly warmy feeling. great job. and yeah indeed holy crap so much improvement!!!
I see that they've grown much closer over a year.
Congrats girl! I just about lost it when this picture came up! Congratulations on making it to the semi finalists!
Yay! You DID get into the semi-finalists! Your's is one of my favorites. >u<
Congrats on getting in the semi finalists!
can't decide they both look awesome
Oh my god, this one is super cute. ^O^
Congratulations!! When I saw this in the batch I was like... OMG KIKI MADE IT IN!!
wow i so saw this as 9/22/12 & 9/23/12 at first LOL i was flipping out.
but wow, that improvement is beautiful O.O
but wow, that improvement is beautiful O.O
awwn! *-* both are soooo adorable!!
AFDERTVCXDSWZQFGDWAFGTVCZSDF You made it into the top 50 in the contest! congrats! hope you make it all the way~
Those are both super adorable!!
OMG i love both
Ilove them both. True Love
what do you mean dear god? It's amazing!
wow, you have REALLY improve but i love both versions, no doubt, the mood the song the LOOOOOVE
this is an amazing couple that you created, i love it great work
this is an amazing couple that you created, i love it great work
It's just my opinion, but I think it was perfect before, but now it's amazing, beautiful, spectacular.
To me it looks like as you improved, they got older, and they're more attached to each other, and they know that they're in love… they're much more relaxed, and the improvement in your style just adds….. something that's difficult to explain…
ohmahgawd so much improvment ;A;
I love them both : D
I like the art style in the first one way more personally.
i like the old one
I'm faving this because it shows how time and effort affect your art. Great improvement man! Keep it up
I like the first one more, if only because you can actually see things. The newest is so dark you can barely see anything, and the characters are too small.
There's an improvement, but I have to say, I like both. The first one sorta has a cute cartoonly style.
I actually like the first version better. But they are both good
OH my god, I love both of these! To be honest, it looks kinda like in the first one, they were like 13, 14 and go there....and then in the second, they come back again as older teens for another date.
It's so cuuuuuuuuuuute!
It's so cuuuuuuuuuuute!
i actually prefer the old version ^^
but the new one is good to 8D
but the new one is good to 8D
My only critique is that you lighten up your newer image because it is very dark and a bit difficult to see without viewing the full image.
dude how did i end up seeing this and be listening to the messenger by linkin park at the same time. the two fit.

Album: Food For Thought Substitute
There's a chance for a future
A chance for all human beings
Trapped within these altered faces
Hiding behind our disguise
That protects us from the pain
And the truth that's deep inside of us all
I'm the king of your nightmares
The ruler of your despair
To disobey your soul
And I will set all your boundaries
Control your anxiety
And never let you grow
And I will decide what you remember
Despite of what you languish for
Your desperate cries tear the night
And I will close the curtains on your dreams
And all that you'll ever see
Will be obscured until the end
In this world, I'm your cruel disguise
You're just an image, I can decide
You're just a false face of what I am
I am the bringer of all your fears
Afraid of slowly fading away
We won't ever let them go
And I am the mask that you always wear
When you exchange with all your friends
You'll never be yourself
I'm your worst nemesis
No one can be closer to you
I just want to remember
Who will be fading, who will remain
This constant struggle, through all these years
See all that I am, the essence of man
Tearing the flesh suit apart
I'm an invisible scar
I am a leap of faith
In the most desperate times
Release of hooks
From this tortured state of mind
Follow the steps
To the uncharted lands
And unleash the purity of life
The point of no return

It was all love, saying "Go hard"
Lyric Meaning
This is a reference to his song "Difference" from his album Culdesac. "My life is a green light, I always try and go hard."
Perhaps "It was all love" is a hint that things were better back then – times were simple. All love.

March also said he wouldn't rule out the possibility that the board deserves a raise. He said the procedural aspects of the recently proposed raises upset him.
"The raises were brought up after the November elections and the public hearing on the issue was held on a holiday," said March. He said that both of these occurrences may have limited the input of the public on the issue.
He also said that a 50 percent salary increase at one time was too much, but that after a proper period of research and community involvement, a more reasonable increase might be determined.
Councilman Joe Signore, who was a strong proponent of the raises, agreed with March that more public involvement on the issue would be in the town's best interest.
"This committee would put away any doubts that things were being done behind the scenes," said Signore. "The salaries of all town appointees and employees, not just the board, can be discussed in public and we can get more input."
Signore went on to say that he hopes the proposed committee would find that a raise for the board would be good for both Republicans and Democrats, as it would attract high-quality candidates.
For an update, see www.spotlightnews.com.
Electronic signs discussed
The board also discussed the possibility of amending a local law that would allow flashing signs for public schools and public firehouses.
Tommasone said that the scrolling electronic signs in front of these public buildings provide vital information to town residents.
"These signs could be of use during times of emergency if the town needed to get the word out on something quickly," said Tommasone.
The sign outside of Mohonasen High School also provides information about upcoming school events including statewide tests and school plays.
If the resolution passes, the new law would make an exception for schools and firehouses, but would disallow private businesses or residents from displaying signs with flashing, intermittent, rotating or moving light or lights.""

West Nile Virus: Questions and Answers
What protections do consumers need to take? Who is most likely to get West Nile in areas that are active right now? continued...
Anyone who lives in an area where the virus is circulating can get infected. The risk of infection is in general higher for people who work outside or participate in lots of outdoor activities, especially during dawn and dusk, when the activity is greatest, because they're just more likely to be exposed to mosquitos.
Once somebody is infected, there are some people who have greater risk for getting diseased with West Nile virus, and those are people who are older adults, over 50 or 60 years of age, and those with certain medical conditions, like cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and organ transplant recipients.
We know that DEET is the most effective way to prevent against West Nile, but some people have concerns using it. Do any of the more natural products work?
There are a number of EPA-registered products that provide relatively long-lasting protection. Those include DEET [...] as well as some products called picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus, and IR3535. Oil of lemon eucalyptus and IR3535 are derived from natural materials, and they are classified as bio-pesticides by EPA.
No matter which of these products you're going to use, the most important thing is that you read the directions for that specific repellent because even the amount of that active [ingredient] that's in the product that you're using will vary, so you want to follow the directions as to how much to apply and how often to reapply it.
DEET, of all the products, has the longest track record and information regarding its effectiveness and safety. I can understand that some people want to use other products, but there are no specific concerns that we have with regards to the use of DEET when it's used according to the label.

The problem of the Chakmas and Hajongs really began to the late seventies and early eighties when educational facilities such as stipend and employment rights to Chakmas and Hajongs were banned officially by the state Government and AAPSU also became vocal on the foreigners issue which was at its peak in Assam at that point of time. In this sense the Anti-foreigners movement in A.P is a spill over from Assam and not finding its Bengali muslim counterparts, the Chakmas and Hajongs became the soft target in Arunachal Pradesh. Wall posters and banners decrying the Chakmas as 'foreigners' or 'refugees' came up
and Chakma students became the target of AAPSU violence.
Myths, rumours and propaganda of all sorts began to be floated around and were all directed to project a criminal like image of the Chakma community. The exact figure of population was
blown out of proportion and the 38,000 Chakmas and Hajongs (official estimate in 1991) were
projected at more than 1 lakh. Even incidents of death by accident or natural calamities began to be interpreted in terms of murder.
Once the foreigners issue showed its ugly head it caught the imagination of the local politicians who in turn, politicised the not-so-important issue into a more prominent one. Real issues
such as development and the boundary dispute with Assam went into the background and
Chakma/Foreigners issue became the number 1 point in the agenda of things. Provocative statements against the Chakmas were now freely traded. The Chakma issue became a every-man's tool for securing political mileage so much so that even those who were sympathetic to the cause of the Chakmas and Hajongs were not in a position to show their support openly. The foreigners issue in the North-east like any other issue such as the Ramjanambhumi-Babri Masjid
issue whether real or not, does have a symbolic meaning in this particular historical context.

As a consequence, village after village in Bandarban, Ruma, Lama, Kaptai, Rangamati, Barkal, Langadu, Mahalchari, Matiranga, Ramgarh, Manikchari, Rajasthali, Laxmi Chari, Nania Char, Panchari areas were destroyed. On 25th March, 1980, Kaukhali Kalampati genocide was committed, many Buddhist temples were destroyed, thousands of Jumma people were rendered homeless, thousands of houses were burnt to ashes, hundreds of Jumma women were raped, hundreds of Jumma people were killed. On 26th June, 1981, Matiranga genocide was committed and about 25,000 Jumma people were compelled to take shelter in India. It is mentionable that I, as avsitting Member of Bangladesh Parliament, protested against the large scale infiltration of Bangladesh Muslims into CHT and also against the brutal genocides committed at Kalampati and Matiranga by Bangladesh forces and Muslim infiltrators.
The then leaders held press conference at Sangsad (Parliament) Bhavan against these genocides demanding impartial judicial inquiry and exemplary punishment to the culprits but no justice was meted out. They tried to raise the matter before the Parliament but it was not allowed. It is also notable that They met President Ziaur Rahman several times and placed their requests for a permanent peaceful political solution of CHT problem but there was no response from him. Rather, he pressurised them to make the Shanti Bahini surrendered.
There was no end to the sufferings of the Jumma people. When General HM Ershad came into power in 1982, he immediately set to implement the incomplete programme of his predecessors to change the demographic character of CHT.
General Ershad and his government accelerated the infiltration programme which was initiated by the government of Ziaur Rahman, to give it a final shape. Moreover, the military junta intensified the repressive and suppressive measures and military terrorism. Besides, in order to misguide and to divide the Jumma people, it has revived the Tribal Convention and Headman Association, formed the Jana Kalyan Samiti, Marma Unnayan Sangsad, Tripura Unnayan Sangsad. The government forcibly shifted the Jumma people to concentration camps such as - Jukta gram, Adarsha gram and Jautha Khamar to detach the Jumma people from the JSS and to thwart the movement of self determination. The Bangladesh army in collaboration with the Muslim infiltrators committed a genocide at Bhusan Chara in1984. As a result, about 200 Jumma people were killed and wounded, hundreds of houses were looted and burnt to ashes. Thousands of Jumma people were rendered homeless and about 6,000 Jumma people had to take refuge in Mizoram, India. When all kinds of repressive measures such as - genocide, killing, communal riots,
arrests, rape, looting, arsoning, economic blockade, combing operations, restriction on movement, religious persecution,
land grabbing, eviction etc. using the puppet organisations failed to suppress the movement of self-determination led by the JSS, when the activities of the JSS got momentum and international pressure on Bangladesh Government increased then the Ershad government contrived another conspiracy by proposing for dialogue with the JSS. With this object a three member Liaison Committee was formed in 1984 of which Mr. Upendra Lal Chakma was made the convenor. The first dialogue between the Bangladesh Government and the JSS was held on 21st October, 1985, where the Bangladesh Government agreed that the problem of CHT is national and political problem and should be solved politically. The 2nd dialogue which was scheduled to be held on 25th December, 1985, and accordingly the JSS delegation attended the place of dialogue but the Bangladesh delegation remained absent which later communicated the Liaison Committee to postpone the dialogue for the reasons not specified.
While a process for peaceful solution of CHT problem was going on at that moment Bangladesh Government again intensified its repressive activities and on 1st May, 1986, Bangladesh army in collaboration with Muslim infiltrators perpetrated Panchari-Khagrachari-Dighinala-Matiranga
genocide. As a result, about 500 Jumma people were killed and more than 100 were missing and 50 were wounded. Many Buddhist and Hindu temples were destroyed including one Buddhist monk killed. 50,000 Jumma people were compelled to take refuge in Tripura state, India for security of life.

Plots of lands varying from 5-10 acres of the family depending upon the size of the family was allotted to Chakma and Hajong families under Centrally sponsored rehabilitation scheme. The areas where Chakmas and Hajongs were settled during 1964-69 were impenetrable jungles. However, by dint of hard work the Chakmas and Hajongs made the wilderness fit for cultivation and established a settled life. Many of the educated Chakma and Hajongs youths were absorbed in various Government departments. The Chakma and Hajong children received free education, stipends, book grants, free dresses e.t.c. The Government issued trading licenses. But in the 80s all this facilities were taken away from the Chakmas.
At present a large no. of Chakma and Hajong families are landless due to floods by the Noa Dihing River and Buri Dihing River in Changlang district and Bereng River in Lohit district. Huge tracts of agricultural lands has been either eroded away or rendered uncultivable through siltation.

Yesterday joint forces of
Bangladesh conducting operations in various areas in the Dighinala Sub-district arrested 11
indigenous protesters, including a college going woman student, involved in the 15 March Dighanala peaceful protest against BGB's (Border Guard Bangladesh) land grabbing. The indigenous protesters arrested were sent to jail.
CHTHRW condemns the illegal and unjustified arrest and punishment of the indigenous
protesters and demands their immediate release from jail without any conditions.
CHTHRW urges the Bangladesh Government to implement the CHT Accord, including withdrawal
500+ "temporary" military and paramilitary camps from CHT, in letter and spirit without any further delay for restoration of democracy and peace in
the region, rather than suppressing the justified and democratic voice of the indigenous protesters
demanding removal of the 51st BGB HQs from Dighinala and return of the lands of the 21 indigenous families grabbed by BGB for establishment of its HQs.
Bangladesh has been sustaining the ethnic conflict in Chittagong Hill Tracts with force for settlement of millions of settlers in the region. But how long and what about peace in the region?

A protest rally is being organised at Kamalanagar (HQ of Chakma Council) by Bharatiya Janata Party today to highlight and oppose the alleged illegal misuse of power by CADC govt. "The CADC govt lead by Congress party has illegally appointed nominated Village Council Members just to snatch power & form Village Council in some of the Village Councils where BJP secured majority in the recently concluded election. They have been indulging in all sort illegal activities and misuse of power with impunity so far but not anymore, if necessary we will raise the issue in Aizawl as well
as in Delhi. Public are angry and infuriated but cautious and we shall carry the voice of the people" says a local BJP leader. Hundreds
gathered at the District BJP office at Kamlanagar, many of them came from far away villages.

2.They are the descendants of the Sakyas,
3.Their original capital was Kalapnagar,
4.Their second capital was Champaknagar,
5.They conquered newland to the south-west of Champaknagar by crossing the river Lohita and named it KALABAGHA after the able General. The capital of this new land was also named Champaknagar after the previous Capital. From this Champaknagar the prince and the Governor of Kalabagha, Bijoygiri led expedition against the MOGAL or MOGGLE (Mongol?) with the help of the Hosui Troops, provided by the King of Tripura.
6.During this expedition, Radha Mohan and Kunjha Dhan were his commanders and they conquered many countries which include the Magh, Kukis, Axas, Khyengs, Kanchana Desha, and other kingdoms making Chadigang as their base. These expeditions said to have lasted for twelve years for Radha Mohan and Khunja Dhan.
On receipt of the news of conquering new land by Radha Mohan and Khunja Dhan, Bijoygiri went forward up to Safrai Valley to receive the commanders and returned back to Chadigang with them. Here, he learnt the news of his father's death and of his younger brother ascending of throne. After seven days of mourning for his father, he decided not to return to the Kingdom but establish a new Kingdom at Safrai Valley. He also gave option to his men to return to the old Kingdom or live with him. Radha Mohan is said to have returned and Khunja Dhan remained with him. He also permitted his men to marry girls from the defeated kingdom. He himself married an ARI girl and thus established a new Kingdom named RAMPUDI (Ramavati?) at the Safrai Valley. Afterwards, Kalabagha Kingdom was annexed by the Tripura King and communication with the old Champaknagar was totally cut off. The capital of the Chakma kingdom was later named Manijgir. In 1333, Burmese king Mengdi or Minthi with the help of the Portuguese attacked Manijgir or Moisagiri through deceitful means and brought its downfall. He made King Arunjug his captive along with the subjects and settled them in different places. After a hard attempt a group of the Chakmas could somehow make a habitation at MONGZAMBROO. After sometime they had to flee again to CHOKKAIDAO of Kaladan due to unbearable atrocities of the Magh. From Chokkaidao, they sought permission for settlement in Bengal and Nawab Jalaluddin, the son of Raja Ganesh granted them settlement in twelve villages at Chadigang. It was only in 1418 they could flee to Bengal and settle in twelve places leaving behind the group of Doinaks and the followers of the second prince, in Burma. From these twelve villages, after many ups and downs, the Chakma Kingdom was established at Chittagong Hills Tract, which lasted there until the British transformed it into a mere Circle. The said Chittagong Hill Tracts was awarded to Pakistan in 1947 during India's independence.
Thursday, 5 March 2015
(Minutes of a meeting held at Government House, New Delhi, 16 August 1947, to receive the awards of the Boundary Commissions which demarcated the boundaries between India and Pakistan in Bengal and the Punjab.)
The Indian leaders present at this meeting to consider the awards of the Boundary Commissions were severely critical of the awards. The Chittagong Hill Tracts in particular were hotly disputed. These had a large Hindu majority and Nehru consequently argued for them to become part of India. However, the Tracts were regarded as having an intimate physical and economic association with East Bengal and no proper communication links with Assam, thus Sir Radcliffe awarded them to Pakistan (see Map 2).
The Punjab was another area of dispute. Sikhs made up a large proportion of the population in this area and had important historical and religious associations with it. Tara Singh, a leader of the Sikhs, demanded a separate Sikh state if partition was to go ahead. This came to nothing and the Punjab was divided on the basis of majority areas of Muslims and non-Muslims as well as other factors like administrative viability, natural boundaries, and communication, water and irrigation systems (see Map 3).
The Awards of the Boundary Commissions Minutes of a meeting held at Government House,
New Delhi at 5 p.m. on Saturday, 16th August. Present Viscount Mountbatten of Burma - Governor- General, India. Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru – Prime Minister, India. Mr. Liaquat Ali Khan – Prime Minister, Pakistan. Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel - Home Minister, India. Mr. Fazlur Rahman -Minister of the Interior, Pakistan. Sardar Baldev Singh - Defence Minister, India. Mr. Mohammed Ali - Cabinet Secretary, Pakistan. Rao Bahadur V.P. Menon -Secretary of the States Department, India. Lt. Col. V.F. Erakine-Crum - Conference
Secretary to the Governor-General of India.
1. The meeting considered the awards of the Boundary Commissions, copies of which had been given to the Ministers after the Joint Defence Council meeting that morning.
2. Pandit Nehru said that he had never considered that the allocation of the Chittagong Hill Tracts to East Bengal was possible under the terms of reference of the Boundary Commission. Eminent lawyers had confirmed this point of view. These Tracts were an excluded area, and were not represented in the Bengal Council. He and his colleagues had given assurances to petty chiefs from the Chittagong Hill Tracts who had come to see them, that there was no question of the territory being included in Pakistan. The population of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, though small (approximately ¼ million) was 97% Buddhist and Hindu. There was not the least doubt that the people themselves would prefer to form part
of India. On religious and cultural grounds, the Chittagong Hill Tracts should form part of India. Sir Cyril Radcliffe had had no business to touch them.
3. The Governor-General explained the reasons why Sir Cyril Radcliffe had included the
Chittagong Hill Tracts in East Bengal. He emphasised particularly the economic ties which
bound Chittagong District and the Hill Tracts together. He stressed the importance to
Chittagong Port of the proper supervision of the Kannaphuli River, which ran through the Hill Tracts.
had been so unfavourable to Pakistan, that he could not consider any minor modification only, such as had been suggested.

adeshi military is responsible for gross human rights violations, including 13 major genocides and crimes against humanity, against the indigenous people of the region.
Stop militarization of CHT Lift the de facto military rule from the region Restore democracy and respect the human rights and fundamental rights and freedoms of the indigenous people
It is noteworthy to mention that the Chakmas ruled the CHTs which at that time also consisted of a part of the Lushai hills, present day Mizoram.
II. Partition of India: Injustice done to the Chakmas during Partition (14 August 1947), India was divided on the religious line. Muslim-majority areas went to form Pakistan. Surprisingly, Chakma- dominated Chittagong Hill Tracts of present day Bangladesh formed part of Pakistan even though Muslims were only meagre 2 %. The Chakmas are Buddhists and wanted to remain as part of India, where they thought their future would be more secure and independent. The Partition axed the Chakma's destiny. The Chakmas have been patriots. They fought against the British, and did not allow the conquerors to conquer them.
Following the Partition, they were celebrating the Independence Day on 15 August 1947 by unfurling the Indian tricolour in Rangamati, the main town of CHT. It was pity that they did not even know they were already Pakistanis, much against their own will. No wonder, the Pakistani troops immediately pull down the Indian flag and made a few Chakmas captive. The Chakmas could not give a united stand against the injustice done. Indian government remained mum. It did not recognize the Chakmas' contributions and sacrifices during the freedom movement. It did not respect their aspirations and dreams either.
Those displaced were neither rehabilitated nor compensated nor treated well. Thousands became IDPs and refugees. In 1971, Bangladesh was liberated with India's help. But that did not bring any change in the policy of the Muslim government towards the Chakmas. With active participation of the Bangladesh military, the Chakmas were attacked, massacred, kidnapped, and raped and their houses burned. There was no reprieve, no mercy. The precarious situation of the Chakmas of Bangladesh could be summarized in a line - "Life is not ours", they say. The Chakmas have turned from rulers to refugees. In 1964, around 30,000 indigenous Chakmas displaced by the Kaptai Hydro-Electric dam in CHT of then East Pakistan migrated to India. They were given settlement by the government of Indian the North Eastern Frontier Agency (NEFA), the present Arunachal Pradesh, after consultation with the local tribal chiefs. While being shifted to the NEFA, Government of India issued valid migration certificates to the migrants and assured them of citizenship rights in due course."They came in a hopeless, pathetic condition, just with the clothes that they wore" recalls one senior Mizoram official, who was part of the Assam government team that received the Chakma in the Cachar and Lushai hills.
between 1964 and 1969, about 30,000 Chakma and Hajong tribals had migrated to India from the Chittagong Hill Tracts in East Pakistan (now Bangladesh) and were rehabilitated by the
Government of India in the then North East Frontier Agency (NEFA), now Arunachal Pradesh. Their present population is stated to be around 65,000. The Chakma tribals did not face any trouble when Arunachal Pradesh was a Union territory and they were getting every facility that was available for an Indian citizen. Only after 1979, when Arunachal Pradesh was given State status, Chakmas were harassed and treated as refugees. Since 1980, no Chakma has been given employment in the state. Government of Arunachal Pradesh vide their circular CS/PR-154/89/99, had banned the issue of ration cards to Chakmas and
Hajongs of Changlang district. Again in 1994, the Government of Arunachal Pradesh asked them to surrender all the ration cards. The AAPSU activists regularly harassed the Chakmas and burned schools, houses, and denied them medical facilities.
Even some of them died out of hunger. Since 1991, the Chakmas and Hajongs have been fighting for citizenship rights under the leadership of the Committee for Citizenship Rights of the Chakmas of Arunachal Pradesh (CCRCAP). On 9 January 1996, the Supreme Court of India in its historic judgement in the case of National Human Rights Commission Vs State of Arunachal Pradesh and An (Civil Writ Petition 720 of 1995) directed the State government of Arunachal Pradesh to process the citizenship applications of those who migrated between 1964 and 1969 and directed to protect the life and personal liberty of each and every Chakma residing within the State of Arunachal Pradesh. (Access SC's judgment herehttp://www.aitpn.org/StatelessIPs/SCjudgement.pdf ) National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) of India had moved the Supreme Court. The Delhi High Court in its
judgment of 28 September 2000 (CPR no. 886 of 2000) directed the authorities to enroll all eligible Chakma and Hajong voters into the electoral rolls.
(Read the judgment here: http://www.aitpn.org/StatelessIPs/DelhiHCjudgement.pdf )But the State Government and its agencies including the State Election Commission have been bias and discriminatory towards the Chakmas. The question is "how long"?Further reports on human rights violations of Chakmas of Arunachal Pradesh: Asian Centre for Human Rights, New Delhi: http://www.achrweb.org/reports/india/AR07/arunachal.htm#_Toc166925350b .
Mizoram, India the Census of India 2001 put the Chakmas' total population at 71,283 in Mizoram, and constituted the second largest tribal community in the state with 8.5% - only next to the Mizos who constituted 77%.The Chakmas have distinct culture, dress, language and follow Buddhism while Mizoram is a Christian majority state (90.5% are Christians). The Chakmas face discrimination in all spheres of life for being "different". They live in a contiguous belt along Indo-Bangladesh border, covering the three districts of Mizoram, namely Mamit, Lunglei and Lawngthlai. Though the Chakma population has been inhabiting this contiguous area of Mizoram, they have been under four separate Administrative units, namely, Mamit district, Lunglei district, Chakma Autonomous District Council and the Lai
Autonomous District Council. As a result, the cultural, social and political unity of the Chakmas has been disrupted leading, to gross under-development of Chakmas inhabited areas. The Chakmas gained the Chakma Autonomous District Council (CADC) in 1972 to protect and promote their distinct culture and identity and freely choose their own political, social and economic goals. But the District Council covers only one-third of the Chakma population in the state. The Chakmas living outside the District Council (including Sajek
Valley area) are subject to regular harassment and discrimination by the State government in various forms. Moreover, the state government has been conspiring to dissolve the CADC by hook or by crook. Life is no less painful in Sajek area of Mizoram. The Chakmas have been living in acute poverty and without access to basic healthcare, education and infrastructure such as roads, electricity connectivity. Most Chakma household is engaged in traditional Jhum cultivation. As forest cover is diminished and production scanty, another name for life has become "struggle for survival". Hundreds have already been deleted from voters list arbitrarily. Although Mizoram's overall literacy is 88.49%, the rate of illiteracy of the Chakmas is very high. According to Census of India 2001, the Chakmas are the most illiterate community in Mizoram.
A large Number of Chakma can be found in Tripura and some in 3 district of Assam mainly Karbi Anglong, Nagaon and Kamrup. The economical condition of Chakmas in Karbi Anglong must worst then the Chakmas of Arunachal Pradesh. Thought Assam government gave them the citizen status of its state.

Kate is a breast cancer survivor who is about to embark on a white-water rapids trip with her daughter. Because she is taking a chance and doing something out of her comfort zone, she challenges her closest friends to do the same. Kate gives them their tasks in hopes that it will allow them to let go of their own insecurities and rediscover happiness. (PUTNAM, Jun., 288 pp., $24.95)

Now, as an investor at kbs+p Ventures (and still an entrepreneur), our portfolio companies are asking us for hiring help. Taylor and I are working on an internal & external talent management tool but I didn't want to wait to publish these until it's polished and released as it could be another month or so.

In between Victor Sjöström and Luchino Visconti there is a glorious spate of international auteurs that range from cinematic innovators from the silent era to those who continue to push the limits of film in their contemporary work, carrying on the rich traditions of those who came before them and directly referencing these innovators in their work, re-interpreting the past for modern movie-going audiences, often brilliantly.
(1879 - 1960)
Three Key Films: The Phantom Carriage (1921), He Who Gets Slapped (1924), The Wind (1928)
Underrated: The Outlaw and His Wife (1918)
Unforgettable: Letty (a career-best Lillian Gish), shot in agonized close-up, as the sandstorm wailing outside the door of her shack threatens to tear both her and the entire place to pieces. Insidiously, her new environment has eroded her mind and in this moment, Letty goes from perfectly rational city girl on the prairie to wide-eyed madwoman lost in the eye of a monstrous Texas cyclone. Though The Wind is one of the final films of the silent era, this ghostly image is always the first that comes to mind when I think of silent film, for the very expressiveness of that violent moment defines what can be said onscreen without words.
The Legend: Sjöström is arguably best known to today's cinephile crowd as an actor rather than a director, appearing in the key leading role of Isak Borg in Ingmar Bergman's melancholic masterpiece about aging, Wild Strawberries (1957), for which he was recently celebrated in PopMatters' 100 Essential Male Film Performances as one of the classics that everyone should know. Even though his uncomfortability with the form's transition into sound is allegedly what sparked his return to the theater and to acting, as a pioneering film director Sjöström's contribution to cinema as both a visual storyteller and technician remains one of the most under-appreciated of the silent era.
Beginning in his native Sweden, where he made over forty films after leaving the theater and before being drawn to Hollywood by Louis B. Mayer, Sjöström honed his craft on films such as Sons of Ingmar (1919) and Karin, Daughter of Ingmar (1920). Though much of his early Swedish ouevre has been forever lost, Sjöström would come to be known for building poetic, surrealist paens to love, obsession, and brutality in the decade that immediately preceded the first sound films. Initially, his stylistically-innovative work was more than often dismissed by critics of the time as a pastiche of old conventions, of techniques that were quickly going out of vogue, from expressive, theatrical acting performances to the clean, clear moments of repetitive visual symbolism (think the wedding ring or the transposed, braying horses in The Wind). Thankfully, modern film critics have slowly but surely given Sjöström his proper due as one of the medium's earliest and most influential artists to dynamically cross international borders as an actor, and most importantly, as a director who seemed to be in constant pursuit of technical excellence and innovation through pure artistic impulse and expression.

As you may or may not have heard, AT&T (once known as Cingular) has a pretty sweet exclusive on a rather desirable phone being released simultaneously across the country tonight. So with less than a half hour to go until iMania strikes AT&T locations nationwide, we wanted to see how things were going over at the other guys' stores, and we figured that New York City was as good of a test bed as any. Now Manhattan is a rather populous borough, with most retailers seeing a steady flow of customers coming in and out throughout a given weekday, so you'd expect AT&T's three main competitors to continue doing a fairly brisk business even on this holiest of days, right? Not so fast: out of the stores we visited, only Sprint seemed to have the usual excruciating line for service; conversely, you could proud probably have caused a minor stampede among the commissioned sales drones at Verizon and T-Mobile had you so much as ducked inside for a brochure. Click on to get a taste of the telecom world outside the nearly impenetrable dome of influence that Apple and AT&T have magically created today...
The Sprint store on 42nd Street was still packing 'em in as usual, perhaps tempting potential customers with sexy Moguls and the "it's no iPhone but it plays music too" Samsung UpStage.
Seems like no one's home at T-Mobile on 8th Avenue today, where we didn't even have to push people out of the way to get several clear shots of the front of the store.
Things are just as bad at the Verizon dealership across the street from Bryant Park, where despite the COO's iWhatever pep talk to employees and his promise of special deals on select devices, everyone seemed curiously determined to keep heading towards 58th and 5th. Just in case you do get sick of following the iPhone action, though, Verizon stores will all be open until 9PM tonight.
All-in-all, certainly not a red letter for anyone but AT&T in the world of cellphones; consumers, however, can likely expect short lines and enthusiastic associates at their local "off-brand" stores if they do happen to be in the market for a new handset -- and let us just say, if you have in fact avoided being infected with this clever and almost omnipresent virus, we tip our hat to you friend.

Delivers HD audio from a home-theater PC without downsampling; low-profile design.
There's no PCI Express version; compatible only with ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre.
There's no good reason for the existence of Asus's Xonar HDAV 1.3 Slim soundcard, and yet it's a godsend for those of us who want to hear the high-definition soundtracks on so many of the Hollywood movies released on Blu-ray disc. Blame Microsoft for the contradiction: No one would need a product like this if Vista provided a protected audio path.
After all, this card doesn't decode Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD Master Audio soundtracks, nor does it enhance the audio or the video; it just passes the signals through to your A/V receiver. Using the included HDMI cable, the card takes the output from your videocard, re-encrypts the soundtrack so that no one can intercept the bit stream to make a bit-perfect copy, and outputs the encrypted audio and video to a second HDMI port. For those without HDMI, Asus also includes a DVI-to-HDMI cable.
The protected audio path requires a software component, too, so Asus bundles a copy of ArcSoft's TotalMedia Theatre with the Xonar. Not your favorite media player? Too bad, it's the only one that's compatible. For what it's worth, we don't have any complaints about the program. There's nothing objectionable about its user interface; it can handle all the major codecs; and it supports BD-Live, so you can access whatever online content is linked to the movie you're watching.
Asus actually has three cards in its Xonar line that are capable of pulling off this trick. The HDAV 1.3 Slim, however, is the only low-profile card in the lineup, and it's available only in a PCI formfactor. That's unfortunate considering that our current favorite home-theater PC platform, AMD's Live Home Cinema, ditched that aging standard.
So we dragged our desktop rig, which is currently outfitted with an HIS Radeon HD 4770, into our home theater for this evaluation. We connected it to a Yamaha RX-V665 A/V receiver, which is in turn connected to a 42-inch ViewSonic N4285P LCD television. We used Klipsch Reference Series RF-35 loudspeakers. In terms of image quality, the PC clobbered the Samsung BD-P1600 stand-alone Blu-ray player we used for comparison. But the Xonar card doesn't perform any video processing, so we can't give it credit for that; more importantly, the PC didn't sound any better than the Blu-ray player. Then again, the PC would be forced to down-sample the soundtrack without the Xonar card in the loop.

Building on the weekly focus on why is it important for children and youth to have a voice in business, UNICEF and Guardian Sustainable Business wanted to hear the views of youth about the role that businesses can play in the development and well-being of children.
Through a writing challenge to share their thoughts on UNICEF's global youth community – Voices of Youth – we received a flurry of entries, a total of 52, covering more than 30 countries.
Here are a selection of quotes from the competition entries.
Zarina San Jose (21) Philippines:
As the main drivers of our economy, having a voice in businesses, even in governments, allows us to develop our capabilities outside the classroom and outside our families.
Nasheen Abdullah (21) Bangladesh:
"Business" and "Youth": these words have something in common. They are the source of change, dreams, and a better future.
Arthur Chiba (22) Brazil:
So here is my tip to the big leaders of any kind of sector: show us that you care. Not only care about the products that you manufacture and the services that you offer. Show us that you care about the world that we are living in. Show us that you listen!
Najee Chua (23) Philippines:
Your investments need not only be in PR or in marketing -- they could be given to children who will one day thank you for empowering them to speak during a time they couldn't. When businesses focus on the people (in this case, children), they cease being revenue-making entities. They become platforms. They become the voice for those who need it.
Jarud (21) Malaysia:
So, the way I see it, the problem isn't that businesses are not listening to the youths. The problem is selective hearing. For a more utopian environment for youths, firms better start cleaning up their act and start listening to the right messages and read the right signals.
Vlada Zagoruiko (14) Ukraine:
It is necessary for people from a young age to know, that they can influence something, that they have voices and rights, which will be considered and taken into account. This develops a sense of responsibility for their words and actions.
Khalid (20) Morocco:
One of the major reasons why companies should involve young people in business is youth's ability to create: Bill Gates wrote his first software at the age of 13, Mark Zuckerberg created Facebook when he was only 19…
Salman (19) Pakistan:
When young people get involved in business, they shape the future of the world. Most youth come with ideas that are creative and according to their needs. Young people see the world at an angle of hope.
Cynthia Tembo (19) Zambia:
I believe our time is now and not some time tomorrow when we are old.
Edgar Akuffo-Addo (19) USA:
Give the youth fishing poles not a fish for it is far more beneficial for the youth of today to own a share of Nikes than to own a pair of Nikes. We must all come to bear the value of every child and certainly, a human brain is a terrible thing to waste.
Andra Enache (19) Ukraine:
When I will be the CEO of a company, I will make a system just to monitor businesses' advertisements to see if they respect child and human rights.
Monica (22) Australia:
While businesses are quickly realising the consumer potential of youth, the impact youth can have on business extends far beyond their purchasing power.

Freshslice Pizza
|Locally owned subsidiary
|Fast food
|Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada
Key people
|Ray J. Russell (founder and CEO)
|Pizza, Pasta, etc.
Freshslice Pizza is a Canadian franchised pizza chain in Metro Vancouver consisting of over 65 locations in the Lower Mainland and 6 locations in the Greater Toronto Area in 2014.[1] The first restaurant opened in 1999 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Today, Freshslice Pizza is the second largest pizza chain in British Columbia behind Panago. It ranks in the top 20 for all franchises in British Columbia in units open as of 2014. In 2013 it was third in growth for all food franchises in British Columbia trailing Subway and Tim Hortons.
Ray J. Russell established Freshslice Pizza with a purpose of developing a new fast-food concept. His goal was to combine pizza delivery with self-serve dining.[1] The Freshslice franchising model is unique in that franchisees pay 0% royalty rates, 0% marketing royalties and are provided with free marketing materials. This is done through an in house dough manufacturing system that is the holder of Canadian patents. The head office also maintains a policy of accepting no "kick backs" from outside food vendors, allowing the franchisees to profit on the improved margin.
Freshslice has been awarded the Consumer Choice Awards for Business Excellence in 2007, 2008 and 2009.[2][3] In 2013 it was awarded the Best By The Slice in Vancouver by Georgia Straight Magazine. In 2011 the company was issued a court order to pay $44,000 for hiring illegal workers.[4] In 2013 they began expansion outside of the greater Vancouver market within the province of British Columbia for the first time, expanding to Vancouver Island. In 2014 the expansion continued into the interior and north of British Columbia.

To say that this book owes to a team of collaborators hardly does justice to the process that spawned its subject. Without the Innocence Commission for Virginia (ICVA), there would have been no book, and without a dedicated steering committee, advisory board, and strong team of pro bono lawyers, the ICVA would not have succeeded. My thanks goes, first, to the cofounders of the ICVA: Don Salzman, Ginny Sloan, Julia Sullivan, and Misty Thomas. I cannot say enough good things about the four. Not only are they incredibly talented and dedicated, but they are delightful to work with as well. Each is especially patient and good-humored, having put up with me as chair of the ICVA. Misty's replacement, Shawn Armbrust, has been a terrific addition, bringing energy, clear thinking, and a wonderfully wry sense of humor that helps brighten what otherwise might be a somber subject.
The ICVA's advisory board members—Joan Anderson, Steve Benjamin, Rodney Leffler, William Sessions, Frank Stokes, John Tucker, and John Whitehead—provided invaluable guidance, direction, and support as the ICVA pursued the investigations and published the report. They deserve special thanks for agreeing to associate with a fledging organization at a time when all we could show them was a blueprint for action. I only hope that the ICVA's work, some of it described here, justifies their support.
Most important, the ICVA's work could not have been done without the tremendous contribution of attorneys from eleven terrific law firms, who helped conduct the case investigations, completed legal research projects, and prepared recommendations for the ICVA's report. Some of these lawyers have since switched positions, but the firms deserve great credit for putting their money where their mouths are in supporting pro bono work. They make law a respectable profession and give lawyers a deservedly good name. Thanks go to the following law firms:

To quote Lord Acton (and why not - everybody else does, and it gives a mere newspaper column a certain faux-scholarliness), exile is the nursery of nationalism. I have no doubt that there are Delawareans who are much more Southern than the general run of Southerners, just as some of the most fervent Zionists I've ever met are American Jews who prefer to practice their ideology at a safe remove. See George Orwell's "Notes on Nationalism" for other such examples. (Or his essay on almost any subject for that matter. He's a master of clear prose-and clear thinking. But I repeat myself. Writing is thinking.)
John Shelton Reed, the Tocqueville of Dixie, has written quite a bit about the marginal Southerner. (He uses words like "marginality" when he's being sociologist-serious rather than just plain insightful and funny as all get-out, which I'd like to think is also a Southern trait.) Anyway, according to Dr. Reed, marginality tends to intensify ethnic/regional identity. Or in plain Suthuhn, there's nothing like being a ways from home to make a man appreciate it.
The thesis of one of John Reed's more statistic-laden studies, "The Social Psychology of Sectionalism," is that Southern regional consciousness "is heightened (1) by urban upbringing and residence, (2) by education, (3) by exposure to the national mass media, and (4) by travel and residence outside the South."
In short, the farther we are from our roots, the more conscious of them we become.
Dr. Reed could have been describing all the authors of "I'll Take My Stand," the classic manifesto of the Southern Agrarians in the 1930s, which was essentially the work of urban academics and intellectuals.
Or he could have cited Richard Weaver, the Southern prophet and elegist. (For what is a prophet but one who urges his listeners to return to the truer ways of the past?) Richard Weaver spent his academic career teaching rhetoric at that great Southern institution, the University of Chicago. Go figure. It is not a simple thing, Southernness. But you know it when it's not there, as in Joe Biden.
A Southerner manque like Sen. Biden can be as amusing as the real thing, but only unintentionally. By all means, let's cut the senator from the great little (and I'm sure quite decent) state of Delaware some slack. He may not be a Southerner, but his attempt to pass himself off as one shows commendable ambition.
Hurry back,
Inky Wretch
