I agree this is going to be what happen with the next generation; but why not? If we can get better efficiency from a smaller package while giving the same power - why not? This is exactly why I can't watch the 5th Generation go by without getting one - because I fear this will be the last of the larger V8 engines we'll see. This car has the best balance of character, charisma, performance, and ergonimics of any car I've laid eyes on. I can't imagine a car I'd like as much as this one.
I seriously hope for Z28 to return in a year or two. It'd be nice to see a '13 C7 and have Z28 reintroduced sharing the same Gen V engine; maybe downrated a bit. It's going to need some serious power, but I think it'll do great so long as the chassis is sorted.
...What IS true: We anticipated that this would happen - we are never finished - and yes, Ford DOES deserve to win now and then. To think that GM can come out with a car to make ford throw in the towel is simply foolhardy...

BOSTON -- It's been a difficult week for this city, and the Boston Bruins wanted to do whatever they could to ease that burden.
With two games rescheduled in the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings Monday, the Bruins took to the TD Garden ice Saturday afternoon, knowing the manhunt that locked down the city Friday had been successful.
"I think it was a little more of a celebration with everyone here [Saturday]," Bruins forward Brad Marchand said following a 3-2 loss to the Pittsburgh Penguins. "More of an opportunity for us to thank them and give our respects for the amazing job they did with taking those guys into custody and cleaning up the streets pretty much.
"It just seems like there's a whole different aura around the building [Saturday]. Everyone was a little more safe and excited that it's over."
The Bruins lost to the Buffalo Sabres, 3-2, here on Wednesday, after their game scheduled for Monday against the Ottawa Senators was rescheduled to next week.
Saturday, the Bruins had another opportunity to pay tribute to the heroes of the past five days.
Players took the pregame warm-up wearing hats that honored the Watertown, Boston and Massachusetts State Police, who teamed up to catch the remaining suspect in suburban Watertown.
When faceoff neared, the Bruins took the ice with the lights dimmed for the second straight game. A video tribute featured scenes from the marathon, but many more from the suspect's capture and the celebration throughout the region Friday.
"I think the Bruins did a great job of giving respect for those people, and we got to meet them after the last game and shake their hand, take some pictures and get to talk to them," forward Shawn Thornton said. "I think there were 70 or 80 first responders. And I think you can never say 'Thanks' enough to those people."

"Because there is a single-minded purpose, and that purpose is to cheat to manipulate the grades, what we are alleging is that she was a full participant in that conspiracy," Paul Howard, Atlanta's District Attorney, said about Hall. "Without her, the conspiracy could not have taken place."
Hall was also charged with theft because prosecutors said some of the bonuses Hall received – about $580,000 — were also tied to falsified scores.
One former Atlanta teacher broke her silence and told prosecutors that Hall ruled the school district by fear and threatened to fire teachers who refused to join Hall's illegal operation. The teacher said Hall would force educators to erase lower grades on tests and replace them with higher grades. Hall told principals and teachers that falling short was not acceptable. "Their performance was criticized," the indictment said, "their jobs were threatened, and some were terminated."
Hall, through her attorney, has denied the charges against her and said she had no involvement in the cheating scandal.
In a video message to schools staff before she retired in the summer of 2011, Hall warned that the state investigation would likely reveal "alarming" behavior.
"It's become increasingly clear that a segment of our staff chose to violate the trust that was placed in them," Hall said. "There is simply no excuse for unethical behavior and no room in this district for unethical conduct. I am confident that aggressive, swift action will be taken against anyone who believed so little in our students and in our system of support that they turned to dishonesty as the only option."
Really? Who was she talking about?
Hall is clearly in denial and desperately needs to be taught a lesson about integrity, honesty, and how her crimes against Atlanta's unsuspecting public school children could adversely impact their lives for years to come.
Shame on Hall.
Perhaps sending her to prison will send a clear message to other would-be public school con artists and prevent these crimes of betrayal from ever happening again.

fish with swollen areas, like tumors?
HI all,
A couple of weeks ago, i visited a friend and she has a couple of tanks at her place. In a 20 gallon long, she has several fish that seem to have tumor-like growths, that is one area of the fish would be swollen, like a ball. She told me that it started with one fish and now almost every fish in the tank has it.
My first though was parasite, but i don't know any. The fish are not exhibiting any normal behavior. She also moved a birchir from the 20 gallon to a 50 with chiclids and the birchir has that same lump in its side (looks super awkward). Anyway i was wondering if anyone had any ideas on what this could be and how to treat it?
interesting.... what fish are they ?
kind of sounds like dropsy, but its not particularly contagious unless its just really bad water conditions
the infected fish are all kinds, black skirts, a birchir, and a rosey barb. I thought dropsy made fish slower and less likely to eat? according to her her fish eat like gluttons still. Also, the fish have been around and having this problem for a long time too, so it doesnt seem to be affecting thier lifespan too much. I will ask her to see if any dropsy meds will work. Thanks

'Not Fade Away': 5 Years After 'Sopranos,' Does David Chase Still Hate People?
Amy Monaghan: Talk to me about how, as a "Sopranos" fan, you felt about the news of a David Chase movie at long last, the coming-of-age-in-Jersey film Not Fade Away, which we are here to dismantle today.
Sean Burns: Mostly I wondered what took him five years. I knew Chase had taken off to France for a while, presumably hiding from the folks with torches and pitchforks after that "Sopranos" finale. But he has such a distinctive cinematic sensibility, I thought he'd be making movies a lot sooner.
Amy: His distinctive cinematic sensibility? Remember, I'm the only person on the planet to never watch "The Sopranos." No, wait, I did see one episode. Annabella Sciorra was Tony's mistress and met a bad end, I think?
Sean: Yeah, have I nagged you about that lately?
Amy: Fuhgettaboutit. Listen, right after I read Ulysses and Infinite Jest, I am ON IT.
Sean: What I think confounded people about "The Sopranos" was that Chase viewed the gangsters and goombahs milieu through the prism of 1960s European art cinema. The edits were elliptical, storylines abruptly abandoned, and he was never afraid to dive into surrealism. The show's sometimes terrifyingly evocative (and other times hilarious) dream sequences were a constant thorn in the side of viewers who just wanted to watch people get whacked.
Amy: As one does. OK, so he's not afraid of ambiguity and pissing people off. In fact, when we first talked about Not Fade Away, you told me "I think Chase just hates people."
Sean: Well, "The Sopranos" is my favorite show ever because I feel like it captures a cultural moment, a nagging existential dissatisfaction in the midst of lavish material excess. So much of the show is about consumption and waste. There's more eating and shitting on this show than we ever saw on television.
Amy: You can't have Italian Americans without eating.
Sean: And the arc of the series, particularly the final season, saw every one of the rotten, soul-sick characters given a second chance to change their lives and (possibly) redeem themselves. But after a bit of lip service they all went right back to what was most convenient. Which in the case of this show meant either crime or, best-case scenario, severe moral compromise. So yeah, I don't think Chase has a particularly sunny view of humanity.
Amy: Let's artfully segue from dissatisfaction to how Not Fade Away begins. A televised emergency broadcast system siren bleeds into the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" on the soundtrack. How would you rate your anticipation/giddiness at that opening moment, having waited for five years?
Sean: It might be my favorite metatextual gag since David Lynch smashed a TV in the opening shot of the Twin Peaks movie.
Amy: Yeah, but "Satisfaction," of all songs? (Eyeroll) I mean, aside from advertising from note one that this movie had an ENORMOUS music clearance budget, why go for the Time-Life greatest hit of hits? (Caveat: I may still nurse a grudge about Chase disinterring that fucking Journey song from where I'd happily left it, at high school dances.)
Sean: If you're going to play around with iconography, might as well aim high.
It's a strange film, and I don't think it entirely works, but I can see what he was attempting.
Amy: Which is?
Sean: This is a very familiar story, so familiar that he skips across the predictable beats in an elliptical fashion, focusing mostly on odd details. It feels very much like a personal remembrance using a hackneyed formula as a mere clothesline.
Amy: Gotcha. So, familiar story: Douglas (John Magaro) and his friends Eugene (Jack Huston) and Wells (Will Brill) start a band in 1960s New Jersey. They practice. They work shitty jobs and/or go off to college. They play a house party. They pine after Grace (Bella Heathcote with bangs that walked right off the sleeve of The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, perhaps prompting Douglas to later sport a Bobby Z. perm?). There are rivalries, family strife, Vietnam obliquely, college, weed, dropping out, ventures into Manhattan, and almost but not quite "making it."
Sean: I gather that you hated it.
Amy: No, I didn't hate it. I was impatient with it. Of COURSE there's the beautiful girl the shy drummer longs for who only looks his way once he starts singing lead. Maybe I also agreed with the father, Pat (James Gandolfini), that Douglas could be a whiny little prick. Tell me about the family dynamic in Not Fade Away vis-a-vis your beloved "Sopranos" template. There's the "Chase and Gandolfini, together again" aspect, of course. But what the fuck does Chase have against mothers?
Sean: His mother issues are a topic not even years of therapy and a long-running television program could even begin to unpack, obviously. But yes, I agree with you that the kid could indeed be a whiny little prick—which is something you never see in semi-autobiographical memory flicks like this. Filmmakers are usually trying so hard to idealize their childhood selves, but in this case Douglas is terribly short-sighted and can be more than a little bit of an asshole.
Amy: That whole scene when he comes back for the holidays and pitches a fit at the dinner table, all "The BAND'S my family now." Oof.
Sean: The kids in this movie are a lot like Meadow and A.J. on "The Sopranos," so self-obsessed they're often oblivious to anything outside their tiny universe.
Amy: Even Vietnam. Or the civil rights movement.
Sean: Exactly. The Kennedy assassination barely even registers with the kids in this movie.
Amy: Well, the movie starts just after. But yeah, I feel like Chase drops in these shriekingly obvious "here's what's happening in the world" markers, usually via the television, so we have a sense of what time it is outside of their bubble. Like the girls watching the Stones perform on television in a room smeary with cigarette smoke or Douglas heading to Los Angeles of COURSE right as RFK's ready to make his speech/get assassinated.
Amy: Oh, hey, can we talk about Grace's sister? The "Jenny" a la Forrest Gump embodiment of THE COUNTERCULTURE???
Sean: Not my favorite subplot. Her scenes are played a lot broader than the rest of the picture.
Amy: She LIVES IN THE VILLAGE. She DOES DRUGS. She PAINTS FUCKED-UP PICTURES. Why have her in the movie? Is she meant to suggest that even beautiful, rich Grace has depth and problems? How does she fit into your larger understanding of the Chase-i-verse?
Sean: Well, I originally thought she was so overscaled to suggest the exoticism of older sisters in the world of teenage boys.
Amy: Ah, that I would actually buy. Along with suggesting that even a rich, country club family and not just Pat the Pep Boy employee's goombah brood is confounded by the changing culture?
Sean: Yeah, and it is classic Chase that her flower-power slogans are often risible. He's remembering a time while being a bit too clear eyed to idealize anything. Well, anything except the music.
Amy: Yes, the music. When I saw Not Fade Away at the New York Film Festival, Little Steven, resplendent in purple from pirate headscarf to suede booties, was part of the post-screening press conference. He and Chase talked about how rock n' roll comes out of places like suburban Jersey because there are cars and garages there. What did you think of the practice/performance scenes?
Sean: I assume Little Steven coached them to death, because I was convinced. What I enjoyed about that aspect of the movie is the dearly now out-of-fashion idea of rock 'n' roll as an agent of liberation and escape.
Amy: Little Steven said he ran a boot camp, after Chase ignored his plea to cast musicians who could act. And I agree, there's something urgent and vital about a Bo Diddley drum beat that can't be denied.
Sean: At that age, when you are just forming your identity, isn't it natural to define yourself at least in part by what kind of music you listen to?
Amy: Oh, DEFINITELY. This is my tribe, my people. Beatles or Stones? These are life-and death-fealties, for sure. And, I guess, Not Fade Away being essentially a Stones picture would explain the more bluesy longueurs of the pacing overall? Because you'd think 4/4 rock might otherwise impose a more uniform rhythm.
Amy: What about when the band plays the house party the first time they and their classmates are back home from college for the holidays? Douglas steps in after lead singer Eugene swallows a joint and sings "Time Is On My Side" while following Grace's movement through the party.
Sean: That's a lovely scene.
Amy: Indeed. And then there's Lee Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning" later on, not played by the band but underpinning a motorcycle accident. (And I just gotta say, after Dylan, of COURSE there's a motorcycle accident.)
Sean: A remarkably low-stakes motorcycle accident involving a garden gnome.
Amy: Ahem, shouldn't you say "spoiler alert" or something? But going back to that party, I loved how quickly Douglas's post-performance high crashes when Grace says she's dating an adjunct professor of medieval Persian poetry. I mean, of course she is. That's what unattainable girls like that do after they graduate from dating high-school jocks.
Sean: I think the hugeness of the music is at times a very funny contrast with the smallness of these characters and their limited world.
Amy: Yes, that "hugeness." I think the aggressiveness with which this era's music has been telling us how to feel for 50 years now might have something to do with that impatience I felt. Also, during the press conference, Boomers in the crowd asked questions that congratulated themselves on their musical taste and breathlessly asked the 80s-born actors, how could you possibly channel the AWESOMENESS of this era you missed but have had shoved down your throat as the sine qua non of AWESOMENESS ever since.
Sean: There's nothing that makes my teeth itch worse than Boomer nostalgia. But it's not like we're talking about Across the Universe here or a Robert Zemeckis film. Look at James Gandolfini, who is actually wrestling with far more serious crises and even life-and-death concerns that his son barely notices.
Amy: True. Douglas essentially shits on his father Pat's dream of upward mobility for his kids by dropping out of college, and they remain at an impasse until that scene in the restaurant. I understood then why you-all revered Tony Soprano so.
Sean: Gandolfini's on a remarkable run right now, stealing scenes in Zero Dark Thirty and walking away with Killing Them Softly. What I enjoyed was how much more layered Pat was than the usual "disapproving father" cliché, despite dropping racist and homophobic slurs during the family cookout.
Amy: Do you think having Pat's big moment of treating his son like the man of the family—at a restaurant—gives "Sopranos" fans a little gift since they left Gandolfini in that diner so abruptly five years ago?
Sean: I love that diner scene so much (yes, even the Journey song) that I want Tony to stay in limbo there forever. But what I think the restaurant scene here does—by far the best scene in the movie—is capture that moment growing up when you discover that your father actually once had his own life beyond just caring for your family, which always feels like such a shock even though it obviously shouldn't.
Amy: Oh, I agree. And it is so much more compassionate about the generational divide than anything else the movie gives us. Here is a man with regrets and never-disclosed passions who follows the code of responsibility to his family even as he admires Douglas's relative freedom to follow Grace and his dreams out to California. And the grace-note shot of him watching "Bali Ha'i" from South Pacific on television while his shrewish wife sleeps on the sofa beside him… chills.
Amy: I suspect that set of scenes also brings us back to what you said earlier about Chase and 60s art films. Douglas complains when he's watching Blow-Up with Grace (because what young man hasn't endured an art movie to impress a girl?): "Nothing happens and there's no orchestra to tell you to watch out, this guy's gonna get killed."
Sean: That's a bingo. And after five years people are still trying to "prove" whether or not Tony Soprano died in that diner, as if a work of art is a puzzle that can be solved.
Amy: Listen to you, sounding like something out of the nouvelle vague! I loved Grace's answer, too: "I think the trees are the music." Which brings me to the movie's final set piece, when Douglas goes to California with the (David Chase-ian) idea of "putting music together with film images." There's some of that leaden stuff that irks me for being too telegraphed: a marquee advertising The Graduate and shots of the Capitol Records building as ubiquitous as the Eiffel Tower in a Paris-set picture. But then there's that ENDING. What in the hell do you think viewers are gonna do with that?
Sean: I have a sneaking, completely un-provable suspicion that Little Steven wrote that closing line, because it sounds exactly like stuff he says on his radio show all that time. That said, I thought it was unfortunate but salvaged by the closing credits in which the Sex Pistols play behind a vintage "American Bandstand" clip, and the music and movements are weirdly in sync—suggesting a continuity through the generations. But before that… um, yeesh.
Amy: Yeesh "the younger sister dancing" or yeesh "Roadrunner"?
Sean: The younger sister.
Amy: Oh, good, because "Roadrunner" redeemed it for me, although obviously not completely. It was not just beautifully leftfield. (Although when Chase was asked why he closed with a song that chronologically anachronistic, he said, "I like that song.") What I really loved about the choice is that "Roadrunner" launches into orbit with Jonathan Richman's exhilarating count-off, which I think Greil Marcus writes about as a crucial turning point for popular music: "One-two-three-four-FIVE."
Sean: Oh, that wasn't the Sex Pistols version?
Amy: Shit, I think it might be. But even so, I felt as though I could breathe again. So, is this the sort of movie people should see with their Boomer parents on Christmas?
Sean: They'll probably want to see that fucking thing with Billy Crystal and Bette Midler, instead.
Amy: Or Streisand and Rogen. But, I guess, if you must see only one movie where non-musicians sing… give me Little Steven over sub-par Susan Boyle.

Indians unfazed by info overload
9 May 2014
MUMBAI: Indian consumers can cope better with "information overload" than their counterparts in other countries, a new survey across six countries has found.
In addition, the "New Realities" report from Cogito Consulting and Terry Peigh, the senior VP and MD at Interpublic Group (IPG), the agency holding company, said Indian consumers are heavily influenced by recommendations from friends and family,
Best Media Info reported
Based on evidence from 600 online interviews with consumers in India, China, Brazil, Russia, the UK and the US, the study uncovered particular insights into the outlook of Indian consumers.
It found that three-quarters (75%) of Indian survey respondents value receiving information because it made them feel more-empowered, provided them with greater product knowledge and boosted their self-esteem.
Almost half (44%) said they consider social media networks to be a good source of word-of-mouth information on brand experience while 57% believe they always seek out trusted sources of information about brands.
With the value of trust so important for Indian consumers, IPG's Terry Peigh urged brands to concentrate on this attribute and also admit to mistakes if they are made.
"We all know that trust can't be built in a day; it is over years that a brand manages to create goodwill among its consumers," he said. "I suggest newer brands create an emotional and humane bonding with its consumers to climb the trust ladder quickly."
This meant addressing complaints about goods and services, he advised, especially as the study found manufacturers failed to respond to 94% of online complaints.
"Being trusted means you recognise your brand's weakness, admit failures, correct them […] and have the conversation," Peigh said.
Elsewhere, the report also noted that half (49%) of Indian consumers believe they actively promote a brand if they feel strongly about it while 53% enjoy finding out product information.

Gay Former Clinton Aide Furious Over Rick Warren
Jim Burroway
January 14th, 2009
David Gilgoff at U.S. News and World Reports mistrusts LGBT leaders' ability to speak for the gay community (he generally distrusts leaders of any movement, not just LGBT). So he was wondering if the rank-and-file were as mollified over Obama's invitation to Gene Robinson as the LGBT leaders seemed to be, or were they still upset over Rick Warren giving the inaugural invocation. "Without polls, it's really impossible to know," he explained.
But he is getting a lot of angtry comments from LGBT people who aren't happy with their self-appointed leaders. One came from a former Clinton White House aide:
… [T]he problem here goes well beyond Warren's incendiary language equating gay marriage with incest. He is what he is. The greater problem lies in the President-Elect's cruel calculation that this insult and offense to gay America is acceptable collateral damage for whatever plus he sees in the suck-up to Warren, giving profile and platform to this mega-merchant of discrimination in the first program agenda item during the first official act of his first day in office. I was one of the 12 first-ever openly gay White House staff members to take up work the day following President Clinton's inauguration. His respect for gay Americans was evident even when setbacks and disappointments slowed the change agenda, and he certainly did not deliberately nor unnecessarily scheme to sell out gay Americans on his first day in office to score points with opponents. Ordinary gay Americans will need to hold this new Administration to the tenets of its campaign and to the idealism of its Inaugural language — and to a fundamental expectation for respect. The Warren invitation remains a disgrace and a blemish on day one of the new Administration. Shame on Obama.
Meanwhile, Nancy Goldstein thinks the Robinson choice was "too little, too late."

An anomalous phenomenon is an observed phenomenon for which there is no agreeable rational explanation. Because such observations don't fit into the established framework or consensus reality, they can be the subject of controversy.
Some phenomena aren't widely accepted as real by mainstream scientists. Ideas about hard-to-reproduce anomalies are often deemed pseudoscientific, partly because science needs phenomena to be reproducible.
Other phenomena are recognized to be substantially real, but can't be readily explained. For example, many people have observed unidentified flying objects; naturally their explanations for such objects will differ as a result of their backgrounds. The Tunguska event was an obvious and undeniable anomaly, but ideas of what eventuated it have ranged from asteroids to cross-dimensional rips. Scientific opinion tends to be conservative partly because reputations are at stake, partly because standards are rigorous.
Some anomalous phenomena are, on investigation, clearly the result of fatigue, illusion, perceptual misinterpretation. Dalí celebrated the waywardness of the mind in his famous melting clock image. Hallucinations, sometimes the result of altered states, are an example of such misinterpretation. Some mirages look very much like water. In this case, the brain interprets an unusual phenomenon as a similar and very common one.
Einstein recognized that wonder is essential. The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Examples of anomalous phenomena
Some examples of anomalous phenomena are:
- folie a deux
- out-of-body experiences
- near-death experiences
- extrasensory perception
- ghosts
- UFOs
- alien abduction experiences
- twin connections
- cryptozoology
As the framework of scientific knowledge expands, some anomalies get explained logically, losing their status as unexplained phenomena. For instance, while the idea of stones falling from the sky was long ridiculed, meteorites are now acknowledged and well understood.
Though actually a subcategory of anomalous phenomena, paranormal phenomena are studied in the field of parapsychology, and can be divided into three main classes:
- Mental phenomena: unusual mental states or abilities, such as telepathy, clairvoyance and precognition
- Physical phenomena: unusual physical occurrences that may be controlled by a conscious entity, as in the cases of psychokinesis, poltergeists, stigmata or materializations
- Out-of-body experiences (OBEs) and near-death experiences (NDEs)
Written works
- Classical civilization included unique signs and prodigies of nature in works of paradoxography such as The Phaenomena (240 BC) by Aratus of Soli.
- Inoue Enryo, a Japanese educator and philosopher, authored the six-volume The Study of Yōkai (妖怪学). As a result, he was best known as Dr. Ghost (お化け博士) or Dr. Yōkai (妖怪博士).
- Charles Fort, in his four works on anomalies, lambasted and ridiculed the scientists of his day for their shortsightedness. Some of the anomalies listed in his work have been explained and incorporated into modern science (e.g. meteors), while others continue to be unexplained.
- William R. Corliss' Science Frontiers has covered reports in the scientific literature regarding anomalies for years. He, through his Sourcebook Project, has published a large body of reports collected in many of the scientific disciplines.
- Leonard George, a psychologist who specializes in anomalous phenomena, compiled an authoritative encyclopedia of unusual experiences, activities, and beliefs in his 1995 book Alternative Realities.
- Fortean Times, a British monthly magazine, continues in the spirit of Fort's work by publishing reports of anomalous phenomena and longer investigative articles.
- The Anomalist, edited by Patrick Huyghe and Dennis Stacy, is another magazine/journal devoted to the study of anomalies (which may be called anomalistics).
- Strange Magazine is another magazine devoted to the study of anomalies in the spirit of Fort's work.
- Fate Magazine, with the slogan "True Reports of the Strange and Unknown" has been published continuously since 1948, and is the longest-running publication of its kind.

In India, Fifth Person Is Arrested In Gang Rape, Murder Case
Police have made a fifth arrest in connection to another alleged gang rape and murder in India.
The two girls, ages 14 and 15, were killed and then hanged from a tree in a village more than 100 miles east of New Delhi. The case sparked demonstrations against what villagers perceived was official inaction.
CNN reports that on Saturday, villagers called for the perpetrators to be hanged. The network adds:
"In the northern village where the attack occurred, crowds surrounded the girls for hours after their bodies were found Wednesday. They accused authorities of siding with the suspects and blocked them from taking the girls down from their nooses unless arrests are made.
"Authorities arrested five men — three brothers and two police officers — who are facing rape and murder charges, said R.K.S. Rathore, a senior police officer.
"In addition, the officers face charges of conspiracy in the crime and negligence of duty after villagers accused them of failing to respond when they first pinpointed the suspects."
As we've reported, this is another in a series of sexual violence cases that has united the country in anger.
Reuters adds that this is an early test for new Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his four-day-old government.
His new Home Minister Rajnath Singh asked the "Uttar Pradesh government to submit a report on the attack."
The Guardian reports that the government had also previously committed to set up a "rape crisis cell."
"Indian police and politicians, who for decades had done little about sexual violence, have faced growing public anger since the December 2012 gang-rape and murder of a young woman on a moving New Delhi bus, an attack that sparked national outrage," the Guardian reports.

We saw these studded killer heels during Givenchy's Fall 2009 presentation, and now Aldo have created their own studded spin off.
Both pairs are similar with the same zip design and stud detail.
The Aldo Guerrette studded peep-toes are a fabulous High Street version of the Givenchy shoe and the only real difference is the lack of studs on the heel.
The Givenchy studded heel is still available to purchase, but only in black from Luisa via Roma.

Let's Eat Some Gumbo on My Fan Boat
What the movies and TV always get wrong about New Orleans.
Click here for more from the Fall TV issue.
While K-Ville's backdrop of boarded-up houses and anti-FEMA graffiti places it in 2007, many of the show's cultural touchstones are more evocative of A Streetcar Named Desire than the present day. It's not just the Tennessee Williams-style sweat, booze, and neon lights that feel familiar. A midepisode visit to a voodoo shop (or is it a hoodoo shop?) portends a predictable dalliance with the local witch doctor scene—rent black-arts-on-the-Bayou flicks Angel Heart and The Skeleton Key to see how that's going to turn out. Perhaps if the writers get really lazy, we'll see future plots culled from the Simpsons episode in which Chief Wiggum travels to New Orleans (aka "Sweet Lady Gumbo") to set up a detective agency, only to have an underworld kingpin threaten his life by tossing an alligator through his window.
Why has every television show set in New Orleans—you probably won't remember Bourbon Street Beat or Longstreet or The Big Easy (a spinoff of the movie of the same name) or Orleans—been a short-lived flop? Perhaps because the writers and producers pour on local color like hot sauce, in the hopes of spicing up a bland premise—local judge has kids who are a cop, a district attorney, and a riverboat casino manager, for instance—that wouldn't sustain a two-page outline if the primary location were Iowa City.
Despite the city's terrible track record when it comes to fostering a TV series, K-Ville isn't a lost cause. For one thing, there's nothing bland about New Orleans circa 2007. It's also been proved that it is possible to make a show that captures the city's spirit without looking like an ad for the convention and visitor's bureau. Frank's Place, which aired for a single season on CBS in 1987-88, should've been the city's Cheers. The show, beloved by locals despite the fact that, yes, a voodoo curse figured prominently in the plot, centered around the regulars at a local Creole restaurant. As Rolling Stone's Mark Christensen wrote at the time, "rarely has a prime-time show attempted to capture so accurately a particular American subculture—in this case that of blue-collar blacks in Louisiana." Frank's Place didn't simply pile on servings of red beans and rice—it created a world in which the characters and the setting couldn't exist in isolation. Take the episode in which Frank, a Boston transplant, gets a crash course on the racial politics of his adopted city, learning about the social aid and pleasure club scene's history of black-on-black discrimination.
Alas, it's not realistic to hold K-Ville to the standard of Frank's Place—after all, the latter was canceled because audiences didn't latch onto its challenging material. It's also fair to say that K-Ville will probably never evoke New Orleans in the way that The Wire, which has the benefit of being a nonnetwork show, evokes Baltimore. Nevertheless, the show's network time slot means it will likely become the most-seen record of what's been happening in the city these last two years. In tortured cop Marlin Boulet, the show already has a compelling lead character. Now, K-Ville's writers and producers simply need to show the resolve to leave out the murdered jazz singers and mine New Orleans' plight for fresher cops-and-robbers story lines—the machinations of the Levee Board, graft on federal contracts, and a spiking murder rate as a result of post-Katrina turf wars. If that doesn't work, they can always have Marlin Boulet put a voodoo hex on Mayor Ray Nagin.

OBJECTIVE To describe the association of BMI with mortality in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Using records of 106,640 patients in Scotland, we investigated the association between BMI recorded around the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and mortality using Cox proportional hazards regression adjusted for age and smoking status, with BMI 25 to <30 kg/m2 as a referent group. Deaths within 2 years of BMI determination were excluded. Mean follow-up to death or the end of 2007 was 4.7 years.
RESULTS A total of 9,631 deaths occurred between 2001 and 2007. Compared with the reference group, mortality risk was higher in patients with BMI 20 to <25 kg/m2 (hazard ratio 1.22 [95% CI 1.13–1.32] in men, 1.32 [1.22–1.44] in women) and patients with BMI ≥35 kg/m2 (for example, 1.70 [1.24–2.34] in men and 1.81 [1.46–2.24] in women for BMI 45 to <50 kg/m2). Vascular mortality was higher for each 5-kg/m2 increase in BMI >30 kg/m2 by 24% (15–35%) in men and 23% (14–32%) in women, but was lower below this threshold. The results were similar after further adjustment for HbA1c, year of diagnosis, lipids, blood pressure, and socioeconomic status.
CONCLUSIONS Patients categorized as normal weight or obese with T2DM within a year of diagnosis of T2DM exhibit variably higher mortality outcomes compared with the overweight group, confirming a U-shaped association of BMI with mortality. Whether weight loss interventions reduce mortality in all T2DM patients requires study.

August 2010
by Lt. Gen. Lawrence P. Farrell, Jr., USAF (Ret)
There have been many warnings in recent years about a "perfect storm" threatening U.S. defense spending. These dire predictions so far have not been taken seriously as military budgets doubled during the past decade. But the storm is coming, and now it's time to brace for a big one.A confluence of processes and events is creating the conditions for a severe fiscal crisis that will affect all aspects of the nation's finances, and the impact on defense will be more acute as the U.S. military continues to fight costly wars.The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are now consuming in the neighborhood of $200 billion a year, which despite a defense budget just north of $700 billion, have dragged funds away from needed modernization. Recall that Congressional Budget Office projections from 2005 even then indicated that Defense Department funding was running $100 billion a year short of what it needed to fund the modernization programs planned at that time.Then came the 2007 recession, now extending past 31 months, which is the most protracted since World War II. Along with the downturn are unsustainable federal budgets and projections of more than $1 trillion in annual deficits out through 2020. The national debt is approaching $20 trillion and interest on the debt will be around $900 billion per year in 2020 — larger than the "projected" defense budget that year. The unsustainable nature of this budget projection has now been recognized as a national problem that can no longer be ignored.In response, President Obama this year appointed a National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility and Reform. The so-called Deficit Commission is due to report in December. In anticipation, Congress has deferred action on the 2011 budget, which is normally scheduled to become law Oct. 1.Meanwhile, the $37 billion defense supplemental, that was requested by the Pentagon for prosecution of the ongoing wars, is stalled in Congress. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said in the absence of funding by the July 4 recess, the department would have to "do something stupid." The recess came and went, with no bill. The House passed a $58 billion bill — $37 billion for defense and $21 billion for domestic spending. The Senate has so far not acted, but leadership there opposes domestic spending in the supplemental. The Office of Management and Budget issued a "statement of administration policy" which promises a veto "if the final bill presented to the president includes cuts to education reforms." Where this goes from here is anyone's guess. The something "stupid" mentioned by Secretary Gates involves dipping into operations and maintenance funding from other sectors of defense, such as training, civilian pay, deferring scheduled maintenance, reprogramming and other areas. Even when requested funding becomes available, it never makes up for all the broken glass and broken programs, which creates further disruptions into the future.Senate Finance Committee Chairman Max Baucus, D-Mont., said he sees three areas of focus: "the tax gap, the spending gap and the productivity gap." Since it's fairly certain that government doesn't directly legislate productivity, it is a safe bet that specific tax and spending recommendations will come from the Deficit Commission in December.Other worrisome converging vectors are: Secretary Gates' warnings about the need to cut unnecessary spending at Defense; a report led by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., "Debt, Deficits & Defense," that calls for major budget cuts; and Undersecretary of Defense Ashton Carter's recent initiative on affordability and productivity in defense spending.Gates cautioned that the "gusher" of defense spending that opened on 9/11 is about to close. He advocates retaining the current force structure, but is looking for savings within O&M, overhead (infrastructure, multiple headquarters and staffing), while continuing to oppose "unnecessary" programs such as more C-17's and the alternate fighter engine for the F-35.The Frank report was drastic in its proposals: going to a reduced strategic triad (nuclear bombers eliminated, boomer subs and land-based missiles greatly reduced); curtailing missile defense and space; reducing the Navy to 230 ships with two fewer carriers; eliminating two Air Force fighter wings and concomitant F-35 reductions; canceling the MV-22; slip the tanker buy; and unspecified compensation and healthcare reductions for military personnel and families.Carter rolled out the acquisition companion piece with a focus on reducing funding on unneeded or low-priority overhead and conducting existing programs more efficiently. The aim is to transfer savings into these programs. Carter specifically mentioned that the Navy's new nuclear submarine SSBN(X), the Army Ground Combat Vehicle and the Air Force long-range bomber/prompt global strike would be particularly scrutinized.All of these developments could begin to cause turbulence around December. The major unstoppable weather vector is the dire financial condition of the United States. The other converging elements — tax and spending reform and defense spending and reorganization — are minor by comparison.Carter has invited the defense industry to participate in the coming decision-making and execution process. We intend to do so. Our position should be to make all decisions with a clear articulation of risk up front, and advocate for the most balanced force structure as basic criteria for future budgetary choices.

OSHA will inspect hundreds of companies where flammable dust is present. The announcement was made by the safety agency's head today during a visit to the sugar refinery near Savannah where an explosion killed 12 workers and injured dozens more.
OSHA is looking at 30,000 companies that work with dust.
Right now there are eleven refinery workers in critical condition and one in serious condition at the Joseph M. Still Burn Center in Augusta.

You Don't Need An iPod To Listen To AudiobooksThursday, December 20th, 2012
Listening to audiobooks on a device is much more convenient than the cumbersome audiobooks on CDs.
Most smartphones have the capability of playing audiobooks. But if the expense of a smartphone or an iPod is holding you back from taking advantage of this service, MP3 players are much less expensive and a bit less complicated for the novice.
Be sure to check out our handy tip sheets located here or stop in to one of our branches for assistance in getting started.

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Boogers are a substance found in peoples noses which is considered a delicacy all around the world. Cheeseboogers and jawboogers are famous dishes made with them. Boogers also are commonly sprinkled on cakes, pizzas, and cookies. Their liquid form is commonly used as sauce for macaroni, French fries, and for cannibal tribes of the Caribbean and South Pacific, human fingers.
The polite name for snot, a free, delicious, nutritious emergency ration produced, without fanfare, by the nasal mucosa in such abundance that individuals swallow approximately 3.48 gallons per day without realizing it.
Boogers are made up of mucin, water, cells, and inorganic salts. Depending upon the size of the serving, a single helping may contain from 1000 to 4000 calories. Boogers are good to eat whether they are consumed raw, baked, blanched, boiled, broiled, fried, grilled, julienned, sautéed, or steamed. They go well with other body fluids such as blood, spit, vaginal secretions, and semen ( Dont forget turd!). One should be careful not to overcook boogers, as they can turn into slime monsters.
Boogers come in a variety of colors, including:
Despite differences in color and taste, boogers tend to have the same texture, which some diners have described as "like a slug that's had salt poured over it" or like "a snail trail." Others compare the texture to that of a raw oyster.
Experts on boogers (those 12 years old and younger) have identified three varieties in addition to ordinary boogers:
- Loogie - phlegm and spit hocked up (ejected) from the poo, nose, and throat by someone who has nasal congestion
- Snot rocket - a booger that is shot from the snot-loaded nostril by a forceful exhalation through the nose while the other nostril is held shut or plugged.
- Queef shot - plug of cervical mucus ejected by a woman after a big queef/qweef. Acts as an aphrodisiac when eaten by men. Also the name of an alcoholic drink (equal parts Campari, creme de menthe, Bacardi 151, and juices from a can of sardines over shaved ice).
- Crack boogers - The result of snorting crack, in most cases. These are powdery, with a texture similar to biscuit dough. When properly seasoned and deep fried, they are considered by some to be the highest form of delicacy conceivable.
Extraction Techniques
Although it is possible to blow snot through the nose into a folded tissue or handkerchief, it is more fun and disgusting to extract boogers by picking the nose with the finger. Some adults find this practice embarrassing and do so only in private, whereas others, such as Bill Clinton and his mistress Monica Lewinsky are unconcerned and will pick their noses in public as well as in private. Sometimes people will stick a cork up one nostril, and blow their nose into their friends mouth "delicious"
CAUTION: The prolonged habit of nose picking may lead to nose bleed
Another way to eject boogers is to sneeze without covering the nose and mouth with the palm of the hand, in which case the snot is expelled in a spray of fine mist.
In popular culture
Relation with South Park
Anybody who watches South Park knows a familiar character called Butters. Boogers is his insubordinate twin brother adopted from Malaysia, Thong Reef. They were connected by their toes. Strangely, neither died when separated, which disappointed the parents. Therefore, they sent Boogers off to Calcutta as a legitimate sex-slave to old beggars. He is currently in a coma with n00b Allergy Syndrome (nAS).
Famous Aficionados
Many famous men and women are partial to boogers, among whom are:
- Ralph Wiggum
- Karl Malden
- Barbara Streisand
- W. C. Fields
- John Barrymore
- Pinocchio
- Paula Jones (mistress to President Bill Clinton)
- Bozo the Clown
- Big Nose Kate (soiled prairie dove)
- Howard Stern
- Bob Ivany
- Linda Trip
- Jiggaboo Jones
- Getty Lee (singer from Rush)
- Melvin Sneedly (Booger Boy, duh. Also known for killing Phione and voicing Pikachu.
- ↑ Lime boogers, although tasty, can be indicative of an infection. People eat boogers without having to be trained to do so; eating snot is a natural and instinctive activity.

How do I bring my breastmilk supply back up?
From day one my daughter did not latch well and got frustrated quickly, but I was able to exclusively breastfeed/supplement with pumped breastmilk the first three weeks. After a 2hour straight nursing session and her still screaming hungry I broke down & started supplementing an 1-2 ounces of formula at the end of every feeding. At 4 weeks I had to go back to work, but kept pumping twice during work and breastfeeding whenever I was home. That went great for 6 weeks, but recently my daughter went through another growth spurt and ever since my supply has dropped to less than one ounce at a sitting when I pump. She refuses to breastfeed, because she only gets a suck or two before having to work really hard for more, which she refuses to do (always has). The past three days I've up'ed my pumping to every two hours at work (they won't let me do any more) and almost hourly when I'm home, and every day I've produced less and less milk. At only three months old I'm not ready to give up.

what can i take to bring my milk backposted 02/06/2011 by felicitycavazos
Lots of moms I know used fenugreek successfully to bring up their milk supply. There is also a prescription that your doctor can give you to help. I went through a similar problem with my son because he is tongue tied and can't latch on at all on his own. I ended up not being able to bring my milk supply back up. I wish you good luck and hope it works out for you.posted 03/24/2010 by Lynnabel

Over the years, writes the Washington Post's classical writer Anne Midgette, figure skating music has gone from tacky to boring, Skaters used to set their routines to medley's that randomly clashed one classical piece with another were merely tacky.
But today, better editing technology means that skaters can take a single piece and nimbly snip, splice, speed up and slow down music to suit their purposes. Unfortunately, Midgette writes, their choices aren't very exciting.
She writes:
Skaters tend to cling to what has done well before: "Carmen" in variouspermutations tops a list that includes a heavy dose of Russian Ballet and dance music ("Swan Lake," "Scheherazade") and Spanish-themed works.
Part of that is because of new rules that favor the less risky choices and blander fare. Popular movie soundtracks are also popular.
I remember a long time ago seeing a routine set to Pink Floyd's "One of These Days." As I recall, they edited out the one lyric in the middle of the song: "One of these days, I'm going to cut you into little pieces." Even so, that's a pretty risky choice.

Imagine that your doctor says the following. What should you do?
You tell me you have trouble breathing, chest pain and swollen ankles. I will do expensive tests but I already know what is causing this. The root cause is a "broken" heart muscle - you need a new heart. That is too radical a treatment for me to do. I will treat you to take away the chest pain and pills to make you pee. You will feel and look better tomorrow. This will be temporary. Please pay the cashier on the way out.
Hopefully you would stop seeing such a doctor and find someone who would practice good medicine on you: evidence-based, and by doing what you need rather than what is best for the doctor.
Now suppose that your name is M. Healthcare. Your doctor says you are critically ill and will not survive without treatment (reform). Your doctor goes on to say the following. What should you do?
You tell me about uninsured millions, unsupportable costs, shortages of providers, and avoidable deaths.
I will do no tests to determine why you have these symptoms.
The system itself is broken but I am not going to do anything about that.
I know you need system replacement but I cannot do that.
I will treat your symptoms and say I am fixing (reforming) you.
You will feel better temporarily but you will not BE better.
Over time your symptoms will get worse.
I will print more money to pay for what I am doing.
Don't worry about the bill. Your children will pay it.
Do I overstate? Is this not fairly close to what is happening right now with ObamaCare?
Some who are opposed to ObamaCare - like me - are opposed not because of party affiliation or partisanship and not because I oppose reform. I want real reform - that actually makes things better - instead of the appearance of doing something.
Given a fundamentally flawed, unsupportable health care system, we need a new one rather than changing where some dollars flow and adding new dollars that we don't have in the first place.
My friend and colleague Dr. Bill Wiese had the audacity to speak the truth. "We already have enough money in the system. It is just distributed wrong." Throwing more money into health care or moving the dollars around will solve nothing.
To have a system that works for us, one that we can actually afford, we need to create a new system instead of tinkering with the old one. Everyone is afraid of such radical change. Sometimes the medicine you need tastes awful.

Could this be a sign of incompetent cervix?
For the past couple of days I have been having some painful pressure in my pubic region. It feels like the baby is pushing down. This pain comes and goes and can be helped by taking a break and putting my feet up. It occurs mostly when I start walking or have been sitting too long. While sitting the pain feels like a bad bruise up in that area. I went to my doctor yesterday and was checked for infections and she said I was all clear and this is probably normal. I just want to be for sure this is our second baby and with our first I tore during pushing phase and I don't know if that would cause an incomptent cervix. I am 16 weeks along I have a thin whitish discharge which get thick at times. Please let me know if this sounds like incompetent cervix and amniotic fluid leak or if this is just normal for this time in a second pregnancy.

When you say you "tore", are your referring to your vaginal area? Your cervix is inside of you, away from the vaginal area. An incompetent cervix makes one dialate really early, sending one into early labor. If your doc checked your cervix yesterday and you weren't dialated at all, then I don't think you should worry. Those with incompetent cervix's are usually sewed up around week 12 to prevent further dialation.posted 04/25/2010 by jeaniecharlie

A Deliberate Campaign to Bash Israel
Barry Rubin, Jerusalem Post
AP Photo
The first, most important thing to understand about the Western and especially American debate on Israel is this: Never before in history has there been such a concerted, systematic and vicious campaign to discredit and demonize Israel, and especially to undermine its support in the Jewish community. Without comprehending this fact, the massive attacks from academia, mass media, organizations and even in mainstream political and intellectual debate cannot be understood. In other words, we aren't dealing with lots of mistakes, but with the mass-production of hate speech.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - An attorney for Barry Bonds says he's surprised the baseball slugger has been indicted on perjury and obstruction of justice charges.
Attorney John Burris says there has been an effort to get Bonds for a long time.
The indictment brings to an end a four-year federal investigation into whether Bonds lied under oath to a grand jury investigating the use of steroids by athletes.
The indictment charges Bonds with lying when he said he didn't knowingly take steroids given to him by his personal trainer Greg Anderson. He is also charged with lying that Anderson never injected him with steroids.
The indictment comes three months after Bonds passed Hank Aaron on the all-time home run list.

OAKLEY & VESTAL SEEK NEW GROWTH WITH NEW OFFICESTwo US-based fashion companies known for their hip accessories, Oakley and Vestal, have announced the opening of new offices to further expand their sales growth.
Oakley Inc. (www.oakley.com), based in Foothill Ranch, California, said last week that it will open a product showroom in New York City's trendy SoHo neighborhood in the third quarter of 2004. The showroom, located at 480 Broadway between Grand and Broome Streets, will coincide with the release of the active brand's s/s 2005 footwear and apparel lines, which are also being showcased this month at WSA and MAGIC.
Oakley, founded in 1975, is known especially for its cool, cutting-edge sunglasses. However, the brand, which is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange, also offers men's and women's apparel, footwear and accessories. Oakley's 12-month revenues through June 30, 2004 were $545.7 million. Oakley products are sold in more than 100 countries.
Meanwhile, Vestal (www.vestalwatch.com), a 6-year-old brand based in Costa Mesa, California that is known for its funky, alternative wristwatches, has just announced the opening of Vestal Europe, its new European headquarters in Biarritz, France. Headed by Alex Messmer, Vestal Europe will centralize the company's European operations and set the stage for the brand's continued global expansion.
At present, Vestal has partnerships in Canada, Japan, Australia, the UK, Germany, Austria, Benelux, Switzerland, Greece, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and South Africa.
Vestal, which claims triple-digit growth in the last year, is independently owned and operated. David Vonaventura is the company's founder and president.

I used to love jogging, but now it hurts? What next?
I was VERY active before I got preggers, I loved to jog, rock climb, play tennis and work out in general. I always swore once I got pregnant I wasn't going to become lazy and stop exercising. BUT I was not expecting to have morning sickness so severe that one mere sit up makes my puke. Or for my breast to hurt with every stride when jogging. I'v already lost muscle tone and put on 7 lbs and I'm only 8 weeks along! Help! I need to do something, but I can't find the motivation to try something new incase it hurts or brings on the sickness. Any ideas?

This is my 5th pregnancy and I have continued to work out though all of them up untill I was due. It is a hard transition going from running 3 or 4 miles a day to maybe only being able to walk one, but listen to your body. If my heart rate gets too high, that is when I get sick. I also have lower back problems so running is out of the question for me at this point. I have found toning, spinning, and swimming are all things I can still do with out over doing it. You could also try yoga but it has never really been my thing. Swimming has been my saving grace, it takes all the pressure off my body and still feels like I am getting a good work out in. 18 weeks pregnant and still working out 5 days a week.posted 01/06/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

I was so surprised when I had to start wearing 2 sports bras to jog! I NEVER expected to need extra support!!! I had to stop running at 20 weeks because of having a low lying placent, then it fixed itself and I was given the okay to start running again a month later. Soon, though, because I gained SO much weight (50 lbs total!) and lost so much muscle tone, running became uncomfortable. Then I had BH contractions all the time and running really hurt. So i took to walking with ankle and wrist weights. It wasn't the same, but I walked hard enough to make myself sweat, so I did get some gratification. And I got the same stress relief as running. And, since I was in such great shape beforehand and started walking again a few days after DS was born and running again 6 weeks PP, I lost all the weight within 5 months. Now, at 11 months PP, I'm 10 pounds less than I was pre-pregnancy. Good luck to you!posted 08/06/2010 by allangwen
I say YOGA! It can be a great workout, if you don't find something that is strenuous enough keep searching.posted 06/06/2010 by sunshine_breath
I'm in the same boat - I jogged and biked five days a week and used yoga as a cool down. However, between the extreme fatigue and morning sickness, with incredible breast tenderness, I didn't do very much between week 7 and week 12. I'm at 19 weeks now. I never thought of using two sports bras - now that the nausea has passed I will try that. I've "made do" with walking every day - although some days even that seems like it is too much. what yoga poses are good for pregnancy and don't put too much stress on the abs?posted 05/25/2010 by MandaTeu
Swimming is great. It is low impact and yet still aerobic. And the water is great support for heavy breasts. If your not a swimmer try water jogging.posted 05/25/2010 by jennWV
