It is that time of year when Edward Elgar's Pomp and Circumstance March #1 wafts through the air. There are graduation parties and newly-minted graduates deciding what the next step is in their life journey. Having spent 30 years at a university, I know that it also means a very large graduation ceremony with way too much food, lots of family, photos, and hopes for good weather.
When you look up the definition of commencement, it is a beginning or a start. Other words used to define it are an opening, a launch, an initiation, an inception, or in Alabama terms, a kickoff. As we reflect on what all the Girl Scouts who are graduating this year, we look back on the many things they have accomplished. We have seven Gold Awardees graduating this May. We have thespians, musicians, athletes, and all of these girls can do anything, as illustrated by the fact they are still participating in Girl Scouts.We wish the Girl Scout graduates of 2016 a future filled with changing the world, one day at a time, one person at a time, and a journey filled with courage, confidence, and character.

Groton - The relationship between the volunteer company that owns the Fort Hill Station in Poquonnock Bridge and the fire district board has deteriorated to the point that the board is considering closing the station, moving all career firefighters across town, and starting a new volunteer force.
Poquonnock Bridge Volunteer Fire Co. No. 1, Inc., which owns the Fort Hill Station and leases it to the district, met Thursday night and voted unanimously to not accept applications for any new volunteers until a committee discusses the issue with the chief, according to a statement released by Fire Company Vice President John Parfitt Jr.
The statement, issued on behalf of the company, also said volunteer members who were active and served until 2010 should be retrained before new ones are brought in, and that volunteers should not be used to replace career firefighters.
Alan Ackley, incoming president of the Poquonnock Bridge Fire District, said the volunteer company does not have as much power as it thinks. He said the board would proceed with volunteers whether the company likes it or not.
"They think they hold all the cards and they don't," he said.
Ackley said the board could opt to close the Fort Hill Fire Station at 13 Fort Hill Road - which would require a majority vote of the board - relocate career firefighters to the second station on Long Hill Road and start a new volunteer company in Poquonnock Bridge. Ackley said the board might close the Fort Hill station regardless of the volunteer issue to save money on daily operations.
Voters approved a budget of $3.5 million for the fire district for the year starting July 1, about half of what the board had sought, and not enough to cover its payroll. Taxpayers also elected three new members.
Deb Monteiro, one newly-elected member, said the board is making things worse by rushing decisions, talking about closing a fire station and effectively telling firefighters, "if they don't play ball, their jobs are in jeopardy."
She said she's concerned about potential layoffs and the impact on public safety. The two stations in Poquonnock Bridge are at opposite ends of a large district, she added.
"The (Long Hill) location, it's about as far removed from Fitch Senior High as you can get," she said.
Ron Yuhas, a fire district board member recently re-elected, said he spoke to Deputy Chief Curt Floyd this week and was told the fire district doesn't put aside money for unemployment insurance but is on a "pay as you go plan" if it lays off firefighters.
Given this, Yuhas said the district would have to cover the unemployment costs. Chief Todd Paige was on vacation and Floyd could not be reached for comment.
Yuhas said issues regarding the Fort Hill Station, establishing a volunteer force and the costs and benefits of potential layoffs would be discussed after the new board takes office July 1.
He said comments about risking public safety are scare tactics.
"Is easy to say, 'We need, we need, we need'," Yuhas said. "But there's only so much you can spend. We have $3.5 million. And we're going to have to try to work it out."
Monteiro said the board continues to make matters worse, by making poor decisions.
"And they're talking about major layoffs," she said.
Monteiro said the state would expect the district to meet its obligation and pay unemployment costs.
"I mean, it's just a mess," she said.
Town Mayor Heather Bond Somers said the council's public safety committee is watching closley what happens in the fire district.
"But until they ask for support we probably should let things run their course because they are their own autonomous entity," she said.

I have the following scenario.
My environment is Visual Studio 2010, Framework 4.0.
There is a dll I don't control with certain (fairly complex) object in it. I need to call that object in my wcf service then pass it to the client application, so client application would continue working with it.
I create data contract in the wcf, something like this:
public class Test
public dllCustomObjectType MyTest;
Then I create an interface for this data contract:
interface ITest
dllCustomObjectType GetMyTest(int Id);
Then I implement the interface and use the implemented method in the client application.
Client application has references to the same dll I don't control.
When I try to run it (in fact, even when I update service reference) I am getting the error that request failed and metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved.
I can replicate that object in my data contracts (and it is a lot of work) but I am wondering if there is a way to pass the value of that object type to the client application without recreating the object.
I would appreciate any assistance.

The tradition of a strong executive in Albany, initiated by Charles Evans Hughes and Alfred E. Smith, was carried on by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his conflict with the legislature over the issue of the Executive Budget. Within four weeks after taking his oath of office, Roosevelt found himself in a controversy with a recalcitrant legislature which refused to acknowledge that an amendment to the State Constitution had deprived the lawmakers of certain powers of budget-making.
Considered by many political scientists as the most significant of the Governor's executive powers in relation to the legislature, the control of the budget was a question which had plagued executive-legislative relationships in New York since Governor George Clinton.
Today, it is the duty of New York's Governor to develop a financial program, with respect both to revenue and expenditure, to prepare and submit a budget, and to supervise the course of expenditures. While the legislature retains ultimate control of the purse strings, the executive has the fiscal initiative.
This was not the situation, however, at the turn of the century. Until 1900 the Governor had little to do with administration. His secondary position was evident by the large number of independent constitutional officers and independent charitable and correctional institutions. Even the President of the United States was in an inferior administrative position until the twentieth century. With the absence of executive budgets, for example, governmental agencies went directly to the appropriating body, denying chief executives any influence or

M Relationships: Great Leap Forward; Sunday Is an Opportunity to Pop the Question to Your Man and Let Him Finally Make an Honest Woman of You. but before You Go Leaping in on Leap Year, Study Our Guide on How to Propose - It Could Improve Your Chance of Him Saying Yes
Byline: FLIC EVERETT
ONCE every four years comes the official opportunity for a woman to propose to her man.
Nobody's promising that popping the question on February 29 will guarantee champagne and smiles all round, but there are ways of asking that will help you get the answer you want - "yes", presumably.
SHOULD YOU GO FOR IT? Before you get down on one knee, consider realistically what the outcome is likely to be.
If he's said he doesn't want to get married, or if you've only been together a few months, or if his Decree Absolute from his bitter ex has only just arrived, you probably won't get a positive response.
Most men mean what they say when it comes to commitment - it's a fantasy to think you can win him round with a long-stemmed rose and an eager grin. And the last thing you want is a humiliating scene that ends in tears. Or by him saying yes for fear of hurting you, then calling it all off later.
If you suspect that he is thinking about asking you - maybe he's already proposed and you've wanted "more time", or you have been together for years and never got round to marriage - then feel free to ask and expect him to accept.
HOW AND WHEN TO ASK Once you've decided to pop the question, there are four basic styles of proposal - The Casual, The Formal, The Surprise and The Third Party Insurance.
Before deciding which is best for you, think about your man. Is he a planner who gets upset if he finds a new filling in his sandwich? Or a free-spirit who doesn't know which country he'll be in for breakfast?
Then pick your type of proposal according to his personality - it will increase the chance of him saying yes.
The casual APPEALS TO: The bloke who doesn't see marriage as a big deal. He's fun, spontaneous, and happiest in trainers and T-shirts.
HOW TO: Don't be too casual. "We've run out of milk - by the way will you marry me?" may be amusing, but hardly invests the question with any gravitas. Bring it up in a moment of intimacy - in bed or cuddled up on the sofa.
Turn the talk to how happy you are with him and how much you love him. Make sure he's nodding along. Then drop in your killer question, "In fact, I've been wondering... Will you marry me?"
IF HE SAYS NO: Maintain the cuddle position and say, "I'm a bit surprised - I got the impression you might say yes. …

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) — Auburn has hired former Temple offensive coordinator Scot Loeffler to run its offense.
The Tigers announced Sunday that Loeffler (LEFF-ler) will replace Gus Malzahn, who left to become head coach at Arkansas State.
The former Michigan quarterback has worked with six future NFL passers during his college career, including Tom Brady and Tim Tebow.
Loeffler spent the 2008 season in the NFL as Detroit's quarterbacks coach and coached Tebow at Florida.
Loeffler will try to turn around an offense that Malzahn and quarterback Cam Newton turned into one of the nation's best en route to the national title two seasons ago. With inconsistent quarterback play, the Tigers slipped to 100th in total offense last season.
The Owls went 9-4 and Loeffler's offense ranked seventh nationally in rushing.

Hi all,
I'm trying decompile make_package_npdrm.exe with ida/hexrays to understand how sony make a pkg. Does anyone try this before?
Hi all,
I'm trying decompile make_package_npdrm.exe with ida/hexrays to understand how sony make a pkg. Does anyone try this before?
pkg is like a zip file but only for sony PS3.
with a hex i dont know if you can understand something
i think if you unassemble it, you can see better how this soft work.
you can see the file on a mac as a box icon file so im assuming its been made on a mac the pkg files.
Here are some threads on PS3 PKG files, in case you haven't seen them yet:
I suggest you should take into consideration that make_package_npdrm.exe creates packages not protected by drm. So, these packages are runable only on test units and there could be much more differences between npdrm and retail packages than we can imagine.
However, I wish you good luck.
Thank for all advise. Anyway I still trying and will post the result (if any) there.
the pkg files should be encrypted so i don't know if you could obtain something useful...anyway good luck ^^
i think maybe a windows app for compress or convert file someone want to put in his console
and indeed, this file can create pkg but not signed so if no one know how we can make a signed pkg, propose programm for ps3 risk to be hard
good luck for your investigation
I did take a look at it and how it does decrypt the files.
The Filestructure of the pkg it self is more or less already known so I don't go into that.
As for the decrypting (only works on files generated with make_package_npdrm).
[Register or Login to view code]
To put it in words, it takes a key, adds a row number and uses the sha1 hash of it to decrpyt the data.
I didn't look to much into it but it does compute the sha1 hash of the header and stuff as well, didn't look to much into which part of the header exactly was used though.
Still the problem is make_package_npdrm can't decrypt non-dev packages.
BTW: I'm sure I'm not the first one finding it, but as nobody mentioned it so far.
[Register or Login to view code]
Any progress on this... I haven't had time to do much digging myself but i got IDA installed so I might pick thro a couple of the other .exe files on the 1.60 sdk and see if anything else stands out.

With winter finally here, and with that I mean snow, vehicle accidents will surely be on the rise.
According to local law enforcement, as of Tuesday, over 10 reported wrecks have occurred in Cynthiana and Harrison County this month.
Aside from contributing factors related to the beginning of the year such as rushing to company New Year's Eve parties, one factor seems to have spiked the sudden number of wrecks... snow.

I remember in September 2011 they teased a Mewtwo Wi-Fi event as a 'shocking announcement;, and everyone was freaking out that it could be a new game.
I do think this one is more likely to be an announcement of Gen VI though. Gen V was announced in January 2010 so if Gen VI is being released in 2013 I don't see why they wouldn't announce it in Jan 2013.
I'm just ready for the next game to be confirmed so I know where R/S/E remakes stand. If Gen VI is coming out next year, I can see an Emerald remake being released on its 10th anniversary in 2014.

The other day, in a meeting here at Goldstar, someone justified a decision they were announcing on the basis of some data that was supposedly "proven" by something we had tested before in the company.
Ok, that's so vague, I'll make up something ridiculous to use instead of real facts and names. Let's start again…
The other day, in a meeting here at Goldstar, Trogdor, our Senior Manager of Sales to Munchkinland, announced that he was going to cast an enchantment spell on our customers in Munchkinland using a magic wand made of metal rather than wood, because our tests had proven that it didn't matter what the magic wand is made of because they all resulted in just about as many enchanted customers. Any old material would do. Maybe even plastic.
Trogdor stated this as a fact, proven by evidence.
Except no such evidence existed. Some six or nine months ago, there was a study of magic wands, wherein the traditional wooden wands were tested against metal wands, and with a small amount of data, there was a completely inconclusive and incomplete preliminary piece of work that suggested that it was possible, in some circumstances, that metal wands could be effective, but that in essence we didn't know anything yet.
But Trogdor didn't need to hear anything else. Off he went, attempting to enchant the countryside with a metal magic wand, even though intuitively everyone knows magic wands should be made of wood.
There was nothing wrong with the initial data; it was simply inconclusive and opened up some questions, which ultimately didn't pan out, when it came to metal wands. The problem was in Trogdor's use of that data, or to be more accurate, rumors about that data that weren't really true. The funny thing of course is that Trogdor's intuition would have told him that metal wands couldn't possibly be as good as wooden wands, but armed with "proof" to the contrary, he was willing to march off to certain defeat in Munchkinland because metal wands are cheap and plentiful.
"In God We Trust. All Others Must Use Data" is one of our informal mottoes around here, but half-baked, incorrect, mis-analyzed data is worse than going with your gut, especially if that gut has some training and experience. Data, when believed, has a kind of tyrannical power once it's let loose because who can argue with facts? Yes, absolutely, fair enough, but be sure you're getting the facts right.

AG Versus the Prosecution
The attorney general proved to be a legal innovator in the way he reached his decision not to indict Prime Minister Ariel Sharon or his son Gilad.
Attorney General Menachem Mazuz has decided to close the case against Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and his son Gilad. That decision is within his authority and his rights. He did so because, in his assessment, a "sufficient infrastructure of evidence" for an indictment did not exist. He said he reached this conclusion using the test of whether there was "a reasonable chance to convict," and from a belief that "there is only one law for both the prime minister and the ordinary man."
The attorney general proved to be a legal innovator in the way he reached his decision not to indict. The innovation lay not in the fact that his conclusion differed from that of a senior team headed by former state prosecutor Edna Arbel, which recommended indicting the prime minister. That has happened before.
The previous attorney general, Elyakim Rubinstein, decided not to indict former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Amedi affair, despite Arbel's contrary opinion, but this did not create any "earthquakes" of the sort that are being felt now.
Mazuz's legal innovation lay in the fact that he appointed a new team to evaluate the evidence - something that has never before occurred in the prosecution. From that moment on it should have been clear that something had happened that would affect the way decisions are made about indicting a prime minister or any other senior official in the future.
The minute the conclusions of a skilled and experienced team are not accepted, a new team will be appointed in its stead. The mythological Buzaglo, who can be indicted by any police prosecutor, can only sigh as he reads the attorney general's declaration that "all citizens are equal before the law."
The attorney general's lack of faith in the prosecution was not just expressed in his decision to set up his own team. It also emerged from many pages of his detailed and reasoned decision regarding Sharon. This decision contained a legal-factual analysis and an interpretation of the facts about which the last legal word has not yet been spoken.
Yet it seems that never before has a document written and signed by the head of Israel's prosecution, the attorney general, portrayed the skilled team subordinate to him as an empty vessel.
The attorney general's remarks about "evidentiary material that suffered from weakness" with regard to both the factual and the psychological elements of the crime, and that it "did not add up to a structure capable of standing on its own," essentially assigned a grade of "unsatisfactory" to the prosecutors whose job it was to assess what jurists call "the sufficiency of the evidence."
The attorney general treated the prosecution's opinion as an "allegation" that Sharon had accepted a bribe. This allegation, in his opinion, "is based on a web of generalizations and indirect and circumstantial evidence." This finding is a direct slap at work in which great effort was invested.
Not only is such a style not the norm among civil servants who are supposed to work together in enforcing the rule of law, it is also not to be found in criticisms by external bodies such as the State Comptroller's Office or the courts, which are always careful of an agency's dignity even when they cancel its decisions.
High Court of Justice rulings that have overturned attorney generals' directives or their decisions not to indict someone due to lack of "public interest" have never leveled such grave accusations. The standard phrase used by lawyers, "my learned colleague," which has already eroded over time, has now suffered a mortal blow from the attorney general, who is supposed to set an example for young attorneys.
The attorney general's temper had not cooled when he met reporters and launched an unprecedently vicious attack on the prosecutors who were part of Arbel's team. He described the head of the team as having "influenced" the others and of having set herself a "target" - something that to jurists would constitute an egregious lack of professional integrity. Hurling such accusations is like accusing the attorney general of having approached the Sharon case with the "target" of not indicting him - something that is equally inconceivable.
The attorney general announced yesterday, a day late, that he would publish the state prosecutor's opinion and the draft indictment that she had prepared. This will make it possible to evaluate the nature of the evidence and the reasonability of the prosecution's recommendation and the attorney general's decision.
But regardless of the reasonableness of the attorney general's decision not to indict, his style, and the accusation that he drafted against senior prosecutors who as civil servants are barred from responding publicly, are clearly unreasonable. Mazuz must now demonstrate leadership by putting his house in order, without defining a "target," and by finding a way to close the case of "the attorney general versus the prosecution."

Detainees to Seek Charges Against Rumsfeld
Posted on Nov 10, 2006
A dozen men who were held at Abu Ghraib intend to file charges with Germany's top prosecutor to seek a criminal investigation and prosecution of the outgoing defense secretary, along with various other top Bush administration officials, over the detainees' alleged mistreatment.

If these victims need a donation to help with legal costs, let me know. I don't have much but they'll get all the help I can muster.
There's no reason those in the US who are suspected of criminal acts should not be brought to trial… that includes anyone in any position from TOP to bottom.
Tell Rumsfeld to set a good example and give himself up. If he's "done nothing wrong he's got nothing to fear." (Rumsfeld would be the first person to use that line on those being illegally held in his stinking prisons… let's see how it feels for the shoe to be on the other foot). If convicted, he should have to spend the rest of unnatural life in Abu Ghraib, naked and bent double… and on a live 24/7 webcam where we can all watch him.

I hope they build an air tight case. I hope we eventually decide whether to extridite these guys so someone can obtain a little justice.
By L.D., November 10, 2006 at 4:35 pm Link to this comment
YES!!! I agree with every proposed indictment listed…but they didn't go nearly far enough up the chain of command. Hopefully, the new Congress will take it upon themselves to investigate the crimes of this administration, but if they don't, it is good to know that there is an alternative ready and willing to take up the case.

Microphthalmia-associated t ranscription f actor (MITF) is a transcription factor with a basic-helix-loop-helix-leucine zipper (bHLHZip) structure. Mutations of the MITF gene cause a variety of phenotypes, most notably in pigmented cells, in several species. In humans, haploinsufficiency of MITF causes Waardenburg syndrome type 2, while a dominant-negative mutation causes Tietz syndrome. Four isoforms have been cloned so far: MITF-M is the most abundant and is expressed in neural-crest-derived melanocytes; MITF-A is expressed in various cultured cells including retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and enriched in RPE of embryonal and developing eyes; MITF-H are expressed in many types of cultured cells and in the heart tissue; MITF-C is expressed in many types of cultured cells, but not in melanocytes. Many growth factor signaling pathways have been implicated for regulation of MITF at both protein and promoter levels. Most notably, Steel factor/c-Kit signaling pathway was linked to phosphorylation of MITF at Ser73 and Ser409 through activation of MAP kinase and RSK-1, respectively. Phosphorylation of MITF is also conducted at Ser298 through GSK3β, although the signaling pathway for this event still remains to be elucidated. IGF-1 and HGF/SF pathways may merge with the c-Kit signaling pathway. WNT and MSH signaling pathways regulate MITF positively at the promoter level. Endothelins may regulate MITF at the protein and promoter levels. MITF is involved in the differentiation, growth and survival of pigment cells, employing a number of signaling pathways.

Dear Editor: Here is the only just answer to Obamacare: Have a national referendum. If the people want it, let them vote for it. All voters would write their name on a handbill and write "yes" or "no" on it. No machines used to vote. Result given in one week.

A short dramatic video depicting Jesus in line to be sent inside the Auschwitz concentration camp by Nazi soldiers circa 1943 Poland, and chosen to be killed inside a gas chamber, was released this week by Jews for Jesus, a ministry of Christian outreach into the Jewish community.
The video, "That Jew Died for You," was intentionally released in conjunction with Passover, Holy Week and upcoming Holocaust Remembrance Day to help redefine the conversation and reshape views of Jesus and His relationship to the Holocaust, the group's leaders say.
"Our intent was not to illicit any kind of angry response but to actually engage people in a conversation because we think that the conversation about who Jesus is [is] important for Jews and Gentiles to discuss, and especially at this time of year, as we are in the Passover, Easter season, and leading into Holocaust Remembrance Day next week," Susan Perlman, associate executive director of Jews for Jesus, told The Christian Post Thursday. more >>
Roman Catholic, Anglican and Muslim representatives came together on Monday at the Vatican to launch together the Global Freedom Network, with a mission to put an end to human trafficking and slavery by the end of the decade.
"It's not politically correct to call this modern slavery a crime against humanity but we want to arrive at that in national and international law," said Bishop Marcelo Sanchez Sorondo on behalf of Pope Francis, who signed the new initiative.
Sorondo was joined by New Zealand Archbishop David Moxon, director of the Anglican Centre in Rome, as well as Dr. Mahmoud Azab, representing the Grand Imam of Egypt's Al-Azhar Sunni Islam center. more >>
Samir Becic, a world renowned fitness trainer who leads health classes at Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church, has compiled a "Top 10 Fittest Christian Leaders" list of U.S. pastors who do a good job of balancing their spiritual lives along with health and proper nutrition.
Becic's list, that he released exclusively to The Christian Post, includes pastors Joel Osteen, Rick Warren, and Chuck Bernal. The list was made after his team at Health Fitness Revolution did research on each leader, taking into account how they promote a healthy lifestyle as well as how many people they reach with the Gospel message.
"Some of them had major health problems that they overcame with a healthy lifestyle," Becic told CP. "They can be great ambassadors for the Christian community that might be struggling with their physical health." more >>
Pope Francis and Archbishop Justin Welby signed an agreement Monday to support an anti-slavery, anti-human trafficking initiative. The leaders of the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion backed the initiative known as the Global Freedom Network.
"Many are already engaged in the struggle and we join them with much to learn as well as much to contribute. All are called to join common cause to end this crime and suffering," said Welby. "We are struggling against evil in secret places and in deeply entrenched networks of malice and cruelty. No one of us is strong enough, but together we are ready for the challenge God is placing before us today, and we know that he will strengthen us so that all people may live in freedom and dignity."
In a statement released honoring the occasion, Welby said that the joint endeavor was part of the efforts to have Anglicans and Catholics united. more >>

With the aim of resupplying themselves by using cash, the group members joined the microfinance institution Soro Yiriwaso and are now on their seventh solidarity loan.
Ms. Sata (the only woman seated in the photo) is known in and around the village for selling quality grains. She intends to use her loan to purchase 5 sacks of rice. She resupplies herself with rice at the Cinzana Gare fair and sometimes in Ségou from the fair-goers of Niono (Zone Office du Niger). Retail sales are made in cash or on credit from her home. Her customer base is composed mostly of men.
With this loan, Ms. Sata hopes to make an average monthly profit of 40,000 francs CFA that will be used for reinvesting in business, to meet household needs, and to care for the children. Her ambition is to become a wholesale merchant selling grains in this partnership with Soro Yiriwaso.
Madame Sata (Seule femme assise sur la photo) est connue dans le village et environnants pour la vente des céréales de qualité. Elle compte utiliser son prêt pour acheter 5 sacs de riz. Elle se ravitaille en riz à la foire de Cinzana Gare et parfois à Ségou avec les forains de Niono (zone office du Niger). La revente se fait au comptant et à crédit à domicile à une clientèle composée majoritairement d'hommes. Madame Sata espère réaliser avec ce prêt un bénéfice mensuel moyen de 40 000FCFA qui sera utilisé pour être réinvesti dans l'activité, prendre en charge les besoins du foyer et l'entretien des enfants. Elle ambitionne devenir grossiste dans la vente des céréales dans ce partenariat avec Soro Yiriwaso.
Additional Information
Important InformationSoro Yiriwaso is a microfinance institution that works primarily in rural and semi-urban areas of Mali to provide underprivileged communities with access to financial services.The organization facilitates access for disadvantaged clients, particularly women, to new resources and services, fostering solidarity and cooperation among its clients. Kiva lenders' funds will enable Soro Yiriwaso to expand its outreach and target even more underserved Malians involved in business and agriculture.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

NEW DELHI: The law ministry has told the prime minister's office and the ministry of chemicals and fertilizers that multinational petrochemical major Dow Chemicals will normally have a legal liability to clean up the Bhopal gas tragedy site on account of its acquisition of Union Carbide Corporation. This liability, however, can be fixed only after examining the Dow-UCC deal to see if the transaction had specifically excluded liabilities arising out of the 1984 disaster, government sources told ET.
The union cabinet will shortly meet to look into whether Dow has a legal liability on account of the acquisition and whether it should pay for remediation. A decision on this could impact Dow's proposed $1 billion investments in India as visiting company executives may face legal wrangles that can hinder their business operations.

Sterling Financial Corp., which this year acquired the former First Independent Bank, reported Thursday a net income of $320.9 million, or $5.13 per diluted share, for its second quarter ending June 30. That income included a $288.8 million release of a set-aside, called a deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The corporate parent of Sterling Bank also announced a quarterly cash dividend of 15 cents per share to be paid on Aug. 20.
The Spokane-based bank's pretax income for the quarter was $32 million, a 141 percent increase from the first quarter, Sterling said after the close of trading.
Sterling's stock closed at $19.46, up slightly from Wednesday's closing of $19.24 per share. Its acquisition of Vancouver-based First Independent was completed on Feb. 29, and the two banks were fully integrated this week.

Actors Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra , and the 'desi' girl says she is nervous.
"Filmfare awards is an experience in itself. This is the first time that I will be co-hosting the awards, I am very nervous," the 31-year-old said here Monday at a press conference for the forthcoming event.
As part of their anchoring, the two actors will present the future of Indian cinema in a fun way at the awards ceremony.
"I have not done it much, but Ranbir and I have been working very hard to make sure it will be lot of fun to show you the future of what we think cinema should be, which will obviously be a little mad and lots of fun. So, it's going to be a really exciting time," Priyanka said.
This is Priyanka's first stint at hosting the prestigious awards and she is feeling the pressure considering the standard set by other actors in previous editions.
"Very few girls have hosted the awards. But yes, there is a huge pressure because Filmfare as an event has always been entertaining, funny and there has been a standard set by a lot of people, including Ranbir himself," Priyanka said.
"Whether it is Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir, Imran Khan... so many people who have hosted the show, they have always set the standard. So, it is scary and exciting," she added.
The 59th edition of the Filmfare awards will be held Jan 24 at Yash Raj Films studio.

Filmmaker Kiran Rao, who released Anand Gandhi's highly acclaimed "Ship of Theseus" in association with UTV Motion Pictures, is overwhelmed with the film's National Award win. But she also feels that for the makers, the best reward is acceptance by the audience.
The makers of "Ship of Theseus" and "Shahid" threw a success party here Tuesday to celebrate the National Award win of both films.
"All filmmakers are greedy. We (filmmakers) want everything. We want box office success, critical acclaim, awards and everything else. But I think when the audience likes a film, that appreciation is far more fulfilling, far more satisfying than any award," Kiran said here Tuesday at the party.
"I think both these films - 'Ship of Theseus' and 'Shahid' - have done that. They have touched the people. That's the biggest reward you can get as a filmmaker," she added.
"Ship of Theseus", directed by Anand Gandhi, won the National Award in the Best Feature film category at the 61st National Awards. The film, which had been to the 12th Toronto International Film Festival as well, explores various aspects of life through three different characters from different walks of life.
Meanwhile, Hansal Mehta's directorial venture "Shahid", won two National Awards -- best actor award for Rajkummar Rao and best director for Hansal Mehta. It is based on the life of murdered human rights lawyer Shahid Azmi.

What is personality?
Personality Spirituality: In some ways we are all the same. We all have the same human nature. We share a common humanity. We all have human bodies and human minds, we all have human thoughts and human feelings. Yet in other ways we are all completely different and unique. No two people are truly alike. No two people can ever have the same experience of life, the same perspective, the same mind. Even identical twins are unique in this respect: twin number 1 will always be twin number 1 and will never know what it is actually like to be twin number 2, to experience life and see the world through number 2's eyes. Somewhere between these two — our common humanity and our unique individuality — lies personality. Personality is about our different ways of being human. How we are all variations on the same themes. How the human nature we all share manifests in different styles of thinking, feeling and acting...read more>>>...

L'Elisir D'Amore is Donizetti's most performed opera worldwide. Its plot combines dramatic, emotional aspects with comic relief to craft a satisfying and diverse experience. Beautiful songs including the famous tenor aria "Una Furtiva Lagrima" round out this show as one of the operatic canon's best. Order your L'Elisir D'Amore tickets today and enjoy!
L' Elisir D'amore Information
About the Show:
L'Elisir D'Amore is an opera composed by Gaetano Donizetti, with a libretto by Felice Romani. Premiering on May 12, 1832, at Milan's Teatro della Canobbiana, it was based on Daniel Francois Esprit Auber's 1831 opera, Le Philtre. Of the many differences between the two, perhaps the most famous is the tenor aria "Una Furtiva Lagrima ("A Hidden Tear")," one of the most performed arias in the entire operatic canon. Certainly, Donizetti's opera has withstood the test of time more than the work it is based on; it is number 12 on Operabase's list of the world's most-performed operas.
L'Elisir D'Amore has elements of comedy, but Donizetti did not categorize it as simply as that. Rather, because it is really a melodrama with comic elements and a happy ending, he considered it a "drama giocoso," much like The Marriage of Figaro." And because of its relatively harmless subject matter, it is appropriate for a wider audience than most of today's more popular selections, so it serves as a good introduction to the art form for young people. Order L'Elisir D'Amore tickets today for yourself, the class, or the whole family; this popular work won't disappoint.
Plot Synopsis:
Act I: An Italian village, at the turn of the 19th century. Nemorino, a poor peasant, dotes over Adina, a beautiful landowner, who plays with his emotions. When Adina explains to the peasants the story of how Tristan won Isolde by drinking a magic love potion, he resolves to do the very same to win her heart. When Sergeant Belcore appears with his regiment proposing marriage to Adina, Nemorino runs off to the travelling salesman Dulcamara, who offers him a (fake) love potion for the contents of his pockets. Dulcamara tells Nemorino that the potion (actually just wine) will take effect the next day (by which time he plans to have left town).
Suddenly bursting with confidence, Nemorino begins treating Adina with the same indifference she has shown him, sure that by the next day she will be in love with him. She is upset by this reversal, but hides her affection for him. Sergeant Belcore arrives saying that he is set to ship off the next morning, so she agrees to marry him that day. Secretly panicking, Nemorino rushes back to Dulcamara for help.
Act II: The lavish wedding party has commenced, but when the notary arrives to officiate the marriage, Adina wonders where Nemorino is. Outside, Nemorino finds Dulcamara, asking him for a more powerful potion, but he refuses when he sees that the boy has no money. Dulcamara exits as Belcore encounters Nemorino and asks about his sorrow. When he replies that he has no money, Belcore suggests that he enlist in the army. He will be paid immediately (and Belcore will have Adina all to himself). Nemorino desperately signs the contract and Belcore hands over the cash.
Later, Nemorino is drunk off of the "potions" that he has bought from Dulcamara, and he is totally oblivious to the news that his uncle has died and left him a fortune. When the opportunistic women of the town crowd around him, he is convinced the magic has worked. Adina notices Nemorino's new mood and asks Dulcamara what has gotten into him. When he replies that the boy has spent all of his money and even enlisted in the army to win the love of a defiant woman, she is enchanted by his devotion and falls completely in love with him.
Adina finally finds Nemorino and asks him why he enlisted, to which he replies that he seeks a better life. She replies that he is loved and that she has bought back his military contract, which she offers him as she turns away. He blurts out his feelings for Adina and she responds with her own, begging him to forgive her for her previous teasing and cruelty. When Belcore returns to see the two embracing, he accepts it and blesses their union, saying that there are other women who will love him. Dulcamara packs his bags for his next journey as the townspeople agree that the magical elixir has done its job.

Millions of dollars in tax credits will be available for California businesses through the California Competes program this year, representing a five-fold increase in money available for companies looking to expand, hire and remain in the state.
[caption id="attachment_94196" align="alignright" width="297"] Dimitri Alexeev, Tom Gargliano, Tim Ricard[/caption]
Up to $150 million in income tax credits will be granted as part of a planned ramp-up of California Competes, following the $30 million awarded in the first 12-month cycle ended June 30. A committee overseeing the program under the office of Governor Jerry Brown voted to approve the first round of credits on June 19.
The larger second round stands to benefit a much broader array of companies in California, from small firms to those with hundreds of employees, according to tax and business development experts in the North Bay. And as part of a broader tax package passed in 2013, the credit marks a rare example of tax-based incentives in a state known for its high cost of doing business.
"If you look at the tax benefit programs from the state – you can literally count them on your fingers, there aren't that many," said Dmitri Alexeev, senior tax manager in the North Bay practice of accounting and advising firm Moss Adams. "The individual and corporate tax rates in California are some of the highest in the country. Jerry Brown and the Legislature realized something needs to be done to keep business here."
The governor's Office of Business and Economic Development – GO-Biz – recommended 31 companies for awards in the credit's first year. The office selected those companies based on plans for hiring and expansion, and received nearly 400 applications representing $500 million in requests for the first award cycle, according to GO-Biz.
Those listed in the first round include Novato's Ultragenyx Pharmaceutical, which was recommended a $2.1 million credit to support hiring of 180 employees and business investments totaling $16.3 million. Others in the North Bay include $100,000 for Matheson Tri-Gas, which has a Santa Rosa location, and $20,000 for XCell Science, another pharmaceutical company in Novato.
Credits are awarded based on a guarantee that companies will follow through on plans like hiring, investment or a decision to move to or remain in California. Approximately 6,000 hires and $2 billion in investments are from winners of the first round, according to GO-Biz.
Yet despite those results, many in the North Bay noted that the short window for applying in that first round – a less-than-one-month period between March 19th and April 14th – meant that larger firms with more resources held a distinct advantage over smaller companies. More small businesses are expected to participate in the upcoming application period, with 25 percent of credits set aside specifically for business with gross receipts under $2 million.

4. Upstream Color (April 5)
Director: Shane Carruth
Cast: Shane Carruth, Amy Seimetz, Andrew Sensenig, Thiago Martins
Current Criticwire average: B+ (see all grades)
Why Is It a "Must See"? Nearly 10 years after his debut "Primer" topped Sundance's awards, Shane Carruth has finally offered us a follow-up with "Upstream Color," which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. "The plot of 'Upstream Color' is tough to define but not exactly intangible," Eric Kohn wrote in Indiewire's Sundance review. "An advanced cinematic collage of ideas involving the slipperiness of human experience. Carruth's polished, highly expressionistic work bears little comparison to his previous feature aside from the constant mental stimulation it provides for its audience." That stimulation potentially comes your way this month, with Carruth releasing the film himself across the US.
Watch the trailer below:
5. Simon Killer (April 5)
Director: Antonio Campos
Cast: Brady Corbet, Mati Diop, Constance Rousseau, Michael Abiteboul
Distributor: IFC Films
Current Criticwire average: B (see all grades)
Why Is It a "Must See"? A highlight from last year's Sundance, Antonio Campos' "Simon Killer" is finally hitting theaters this month. Campos' follow-up to his acclaimed debut "Afterschool" (which also gave us the debut performance of Ezra Miller), "Simon Killer" follows a recent college graduate (Brady Corbet) who flees to Paris after a break-up. That seems like the set-up of a romantic comedy, though "Killer" evolves into something that's close to the farthest thing from it. "With a dense, often impermeable style and a mentally unstable protagonist, 'Simon Killer' is like watching the disturbed anti-hero of 'Afterschool' all grown up," Eric Kohn wrote in Indiewire's review.
Watch the trailer below:
6. Free Angela and All Political Prisoners (April 5)
Director: Shola Lynch
Distributor: CODEBLACK Films/Lionsgate
Current Criticwire average: B+ (see all grades)
Why Is It a "Must See"? Jay-Z, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are teaming up to release Shola Lynch's "Free Angela and All Political Prisoners." The documentary chronicles the life of Angela Davis, once a young college professor who saw her social activism implicate her in a botched kidnapping attempt that ended with a shootout and her name on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. "Confidently constructed, and aided by an assured focus, 'Free Angela & All Political Prisoners' is a solid tribute a woman who was one of many vital pieces of the civil rights movement, and an insightful study of a time when the American identity -- both politically and socially -- was being drastically reshaped," The Playlist wrote in their review.
Check out the trailer below:
7. In The House (April 19)
Director: Francois Ozon
Distributor: Cohen Media Group
Cast: Fabrice Luchini, Ernst Umhauer, Kristin Scott Thomas, Emmanuelle Seigner
Current Criticwire average: B (see all grades)
Why Is It a "Must See"? The sole foreign language entry on this list is arguably Francois Ozon's most acclaimed films in years. Starring newcomer Ernst Umhauer as a sixteen-year-old boy insinuates himself into the house of a fellow student from his literature class and writes about it in essays for his French teacher (a fantastic Fabrice Luchini), the film premiered to strong reviews at Toronto last year (where it won the FIPRESCI prize for best film in the Special Presentations program).

Hi all,
I recently found a complete 1985 Raleigh Mountain Tour Elkhorn. After some research, I discovered that this was the second-to-best quality mtb Raleigh produced that year. Here's the specs:
Frame: 575 MT chrome moly, forged vert dropouts
Bars & Stem: "Bullmoose" (one-piece)
Crankset: Takagi AD 50/44/30, 170mm
Derailleurs: SunTour AG Tech
Levers: Suntour LD-2800
Brakes: Shimano AT-50 canti
Hubs: Sansin AX-10A sealed
Rims: Araya 7X 26x1.75
I'm looking forward to cleaning this old monster up, but I wanted to get some opinions first.
1. Are there any parts I should update or replace? I'd like to keep it all "period correct" (85-88) if I can.
2. Is this considered a classic? I know the Stumpjumper debuted in 81, so this was among the first batch of mass-produced mountain bikes...
Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge.

Just bought the phone and was tinkering with the settings and the first thing to do was to import contacts using Samsung New Pc Studio. Only possibility is with bluetooth as there is no usb function. So I tried to connect the phone and import the contacts. But whenever the pc studio is trying to pair with the phone, the phone is getting restarted. Is anyone facing similar problems? Phone to phone transfer or phone to pc transfer with bluetooth is working fine.

Bought this phone as backup phone. Needed a phone without camera n with bluetooth and 800+ contacts memory and this one fits the bill perfectly. The only downer is there's neither PC connectivity via cable or Kies etc. So only option to transfer files on memory card is bluetooth (slow) or pulling off memory card. But it's ok. What can you ask more in 1700INR.
