India takes up Gita ban issue with Russia
Moscow: India has strongly taken up the
demand for banning Hindu scripture Bhagavad Gita, which a
group linked to the Christian Orthodox Church has described as
`extremist`, with the Russian authorities, Indian Ambassador
to Russia Ajai Malhotra said.
"The matter has been taken up by the Indian Embassy in
Moscow with the Russian Government at senior official level,
seeking its favourable and positive intervention in the
matter," Ambassador Malhotra said, as the court in Tomsk
postponed its ruling on the petition banning Bhagwad Gita as
`extremist` and allegedly `sowing` social-discord in Russia.
Describing Bhagwat Gita as extremist, a group linked to
the Christian Orthodox Church has demanded ban due to conflict
of interests between the Russian followers of Lord Krishna and
the local authorities in the Siberian region of Tomsk.
Malhotra personally and his mission here have been
publicly expressed their support to the local chapter of
International Society of Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON).
The final hearing in the Tomsk District Court is
scheduled for December 28, as the Court agreed to seek the
opinion of the Russian Ombudsman on Human Rights in Tomsk
Region and of Indologists from Moscow and St Petersburg (all
of whom favour dismissal of the case).
The case pertains to the legal relationship between a
Russian registered socio-cultural organization and the local
authorities. Nevertheless, the Embassy in Moscow has been
publicly supportive and sympathetic in the matter.
"We believe that there are new operational concepts that
link the Indian Ocean with the Pacific Ocean, we want to talk
about the manifestations of that, both in terms of maritime
security and other aspects of commerce and security
interactions and we would talk about developments among all
the key countries in the Asia Pacific region," Campbell said.
"But our talks wouldn`t end there. There would also be
talks on global issues. I am very excited about these
developments and I think they have the potential to advance
trust and understanding among all three Capitals," he said.
Campbell said the future prospects of India-US-Japan
dialogue depends on progress of the today`s meeting.
"Well, it has taken us some time to set up this meeting.
I think, we all will see how this one goes. I think, we
will make our assessment after that. We certainly would be
open to more frequent discussions, but all parties would have
to be comfortable with that. And I think, what we are trying
to do is to take step at a time and just see how this first
set of interactions goes," he said.

Douglas Haora Martin seemed to be everything a high school could want in a senior teacher - responsible, trustworthy and respected by staff and pupils alike.
But behind the impeccable schooling career and glowing references was a dirty secret.
Yesterday, Martin was named as the teacher who made secret up-skirt videos on 17 unsuspecting victims in and around Christchurch.
The former Lincoln High School assistant principal abandoned his appeal to the High Court to keep his name secret, and the suppression order lapsed.
Martin, 57, admitted in January to making 20 up-skirt videos using a small hand-held recorder.
The recordings were made over several months last year.
Police seized his computer after he was caught making a recording in the food-court area at the Westfield Riccarton mall, and then laid the 20 charges.
Some suppressions continue to apply in the case, but all victims have been contacted by police.
Lincoln High School principal Linda Tame said she was "outraged and angry" by his behaviour.
Martin was suspended from his job after his arrest and resigned on January 24.
Martin started at Lincoln High School as a teacher in 2000, was appointed assistant principal in 2004 and had "outstanding references" and was "highly respected" in the school and community.
"There were no red flags," Tame said.
Learning of Martin's offending - "an immense breach of trust" - sparked a review of staff vetting processes, which were found to be rigorous. Only "time will tell" how much damage had been done to the school's reputation, she said.
Parents spoken to by The Press said Martin was "a bad apple" and it had not put them off the school.
One woman with a daughter at the school said Martin should have been publicly named "a long time ago".
A father with sons at the school said: "She [Tame] doesn't need to worry about the reputation, though parents of girls at the school might have a different view."
Students said rumours about Martin started circulating on social media websites in January.
"Everyone assumed it was him [but] finding out it was actually him was a shock," Kayti Carrick said.
Bethany Hampton said most students respected him, while Kaija Rollinson said because Martin was "high up" in the school it had been a big surprise.
Martin is on bail and is due to be sentenced on April 18. He will go before a New Zealand Teachers' Council disciplinary tribunal this month.
Council director Peter Lind said any case where serious misconduct of a sexual nature was proved usually resulted in a teacher being struck off.

I live in Seattle, WA, and found a Honda Insight for sale via Cars.com. I called several mechanics around Portland, OR, where the car was being offered for sale. Many were honest in sharing they weren't qualified to assess the integrity of the hybrid system. Nazier and his team at E & A, however, took the job with confidence and aplomb. For a very reasonable price, they drove from their center to the sales center, picked up the auto and later returned it(!), thoroughly inspected it--including an assessment of the body (beyond the contracted mechanical survey), and within hours called me back with a detailed report. From the very start I felt like a valued customer to the entire E & A staff--from the affable ladies who answered my original call, to the impressively knowledgeable Nazier himself. Nazier spoke with me via phone for nearly a half-hour, running down everything he'd found, and divulging his concerns with the auto. Thanks to E & A, I saved myself at least $15000.

Moreover, Nazier offered me a loyal customer discount for future work--fantastic! It's hard to capture in a few sentences the appreciation I feel for E & A's honesty, professionalism, and indomitable dedication to customer service--a frighteningly vanishing art. Having had nearly a dozen autos inspected in the last six months alone--from Honda Insights to Mercedes AMG-SLKs, I'm confident in my judgment that E & A offers the very best overall service likely to be found in the Pacific Northwest, all at an unbeatable price. Now that's superlative value. Do yourself a favor--save the time and effort to find the best, and just head over to E & A Auto Repair, and ask for Nazier. And while you're at it, give a warm hello to Bonnie in the front office
I recently purchased a car from Rider European Vehicles. I went out there on a Saturday just to look and was pleasantly surprised at the great selection of high end European cars for very reasonable prices. The folks there were very nice, very knowledgeable and there was no pressure whatsoever. They let me take time looking over the car, driving it and addressed any questions/concerns I may have had. I left without buying a car but went back the very next day with two folks that know everything about cars. We spent about an hour prior to heading out there trying to find something on this establishment and/or car I was interested that may sway me from buying from them. Headed out to their shop and spent two hours mulling over the inside and out of the car I was interested in. Again, they were very nice, very patient, no pressure and after tearing the thing apart inside and out – couldn't find one thing wrong with the car –and certainly had no complaints about the shop or the people running it. They give your space to look, drive and are extremely knowledgeable about the cars they take in to sell. They were very honest with me and even swayed me away from buying a sweet Mercedes Benz- indicating I might love it until something goes wrong and the cost to fix (since I am price sensitive), would blow my mind and I would not want the car. I was shocked at the candid feedback and found it very refreshing. I would highly recommend if you are in search of a nice European car and want a reasonable price- coupled with a staff of 3 that know everything about each car, with absolutely no pressure in buying, then this is the place for you! I have nothing negative to say about my experience and confident the car I purchased is well worth every penny spent. A+++++++ in my opinion.
The owner, David, bought this shop a couple of years ago. Unfortunately there are still a few old negative reviews attached to this location from before he took over. If you're really serious about finding a good mechanic, take into account the age of those reviews in your calculations. Also look around, I am not the only one singing his praises. As for my own personal experiences, he has been exemplary . I've taken my car here a few times already, the first of which was for some pretty major work. Every time David has been extremely knowledgable and friendly and motivated. He very obviously takes a lot of pride in his craft, and treats your car like he would treat his own. On top of that, he is just a very, genuinely good guy. He isn't pushy at all, and didn't talk down to me because of how little I know. He is accessible, straightforward, and thorough. He has always gone out of his way to help me understand what's happening and what options I have. His prices our fair, and he has consistently offered to work with my needs, even to save me money at his own expense when he felt it would still be a good decision for the health of my car. The truth is, I never review anything, but after all he's done for me, I feel I owe him a debt of favors, and I don't know any other way to do that but to try to get him more business. He has won my trust, time and again. Both in how he treats me as a customer, and in the skill he has in his work on my car. And that kind of trustworthiness is hard to find in any industry, let alone a mechanic. Needless to say, I wholeheartedly recommend this shop.
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.

Californian mass media denounces pro-Armenian resolution
12 May 2014 [14:15] -
The resolution regarding the so-called "independence" of Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region was received with outrage by various California media outlets.
The resolution AJR 32 regarding the so-called "independence" of Azerbaijan's Nagorno-Karabakh region - currently under illegal occupation by Armenia, was discussed on May 5 and passed on May 8 by the California State Assembly under the huge pressure by the Armenian lobby.
Stressing that Nagorno-Karabakh is recognized as part of Azerbaijan both by U.S. Government and the whole international community, the media outlets characterized the resolution as a noxious interference by the California Assembly in U.S. foreign policy, Azerbaijani Consulate General in Los-Angeles said.
Dan Walters, a renowned reporter for the newspaper "Sacramento Bee", which is the most widely read political newspaper in California, said in a video-blog that the California State Legislature is involving Californians' time and money into dabbling in foreign affairs.
"Why should the Legislature be passing resolutions on this or that side of an international conflict," he asks.
Referring to the resolution, introduced by Assemblyman Mike Gatto, Walters said that "according to U.S. official policy, the Nagorno-Karabakh region belongs to Azerbaijan, which means that this resolution contradicts American foreign policy."
Noting that this resolution will anyway have no effect on the conflict situation on the ground, Walters mentions that the Armenian lobby in California is putting much pressure on the Legislature to pass the resolution.
"And the Legislature doesn't have the capacity to say "NO" to these people. It should say "NO" and stay out of these things and pay attention to the business of the people of California, and not to the people of the Caucasus many thousands of miles away," he concludes. His video-blog can be watched here: http://goo.gl/hEc1Bd
Even a newspaper published in the district of the resolution's main author Gatto has expressed unease with the resolution.
In an article published by "Crescenta Valley Weekly" the article's author mentions that both the U.S. Government and four resolutions passed by the UN Security Council recognize Nagorno-Karabakh belonging to Azerbaijan.
"To this date, no member states of the United Nations have disputed Azerbaijan's de jure control of the area," he notes.
The author also highlights the mass expulsion of hundreds of thousands of Azerbaijanis from Armenia as well as from the occupied regions of Azerbaijan by Armenia, and mentions the war crimes committed by Armenian forces against Azerbaijani civilians.
Referring to Azerbaijan's Consul General in Los Angeles Nasimi Aghayev, the author notes that this very divisive resolution is pitting the Azerbaijani and Armenian communities of California against each other, "stirring ethnic tension and animosity in such a diverse and multicultural state as California."
"U.S. foreign policy is very clear: it supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. The international community, too, recognizes this fact. Why would California contradict its own government and the will of the international community?" the article quotes.
The article ends by stressing that other U.S. "states have taken the opposite course of California, instead affirming the foreign policy views of the federal government," and mentions in this regard the resolutions passed by Arizona Legislature on Jan. 30, 2014 recognizing Azerbaijan's territorial integrity. The article can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/DDy4Id
An analytical blog widely read in California's political circles named "California Political News & Views" also published an article on the issue.
Titled "Sacramento Democrats want foreign policy instead of Jobs" the article says: "The State of California is in a Depression-our real unemployment is in the 15 percent raise, taxes are high, businesses leaving the State, the pension system is collapsing. We have a $16.7 billion cash deficit... But Assemblyman Gatto has time to create a resolution giving California a foreign policy in re: Armenia and Azerbaijan! Gatto represents the Burbank area-which is losing the movie and TV business to other States and nations-but really cares about foreign policy."
The same blog has also published an article by Azerbaijan's Consul General in Los Angeles Nasimi Aghayev entitled "California Legislature should not allow Armenian lobby to manipulate it into harming U.S. foreign policy and national interests".
Two articles published by "Los Angeles Times" also highlight the issue. The articles' author Melanie Mason stresses that Nagorno-Karabakh is considered as part of Azerbaijan by the U.S. Government, "therefore the resolution diverges from the State Department at a particularly sensitive time, given the upheaval in eastern Ukraine."
Placing comments under both articles, the LA Times readers have also expressed indignation with the resolution suggesting to the California legislators to pay more attention to solving California's urgent problems instead of dealing with foreign policy. The articles can be viewed here: http://goo.gl/wYRSYj&http://goo.gl/yOA14L
The political blog specializing on ethnic separatism and conflicts "Springtime of Nations" also highlighted the biasedness of the resolution.
An article published on the blog titled "California Assembly Passes Resolution Approving Ethnic Cleansing" lambasts the resolution. Informing the readers on the illegal military occupation and ethnic cleansing of Azerbaijan's lands by Armenia, as well as war crimes committed against Azerbaijani civilians such as the Khojaly Massacre of 1992, the author notes that by passing this pro-Armenian resolution the California Assembly has only approved all these horrible crimes.

Orange resident wins home raffle's grand prize
DANA POINT – The Ocean Institute held its drawing Saturday for the eighth annual Laguna Beach Million Dollar Home Raffle, drawing a crowd of more than 500 people waiting to see if one had bought the lucky ticket.
Orange resident Derek Moore won the grand prize: a choice between $1 million in cash or a Laguna Beach home valued at $1 million. Moore was in the crowd when his name was drawn for the prize, something that has never happened before, raffle spokesman Jim Graves said.
The nonprofit fundraiser benefiting programs through Dana Point's Ocean Institute has each year grossed enough ticket sales to award the grand prize of a house or $1 million cash since the raffle's inception in 2005.
Buyers who purchased more than one ticket or referred a friend to buy a ticket won prizes including a Toyota Prius C, a two-night stay at the Montage Laguna Beach Resort, a dream vacation, an iPad and more.
All winners will be posted at www.ocean-institute.org/raffle/winners.html.

is still very sexy even at her age. She got divorced long ago and George is the
only her son. He just turned 18. They are great friends even though many teenagers
at his age have problems with parents. The only thing that bothered him in his
relations with mothers is that she was extremely jealous to his girlfriends. He
couldn�t understand why till one night she came to his bedroom is short robe to
talk about it. As you may see their conversation ended with really wild and messy
Amanda�s sons grew up it was very painful for her to watch them having fun at
parties and clubs and dating young girls. She did her best to stay # 1 for them.
Sons often joked that she�s she only woman in the world they will ever love. Once
they had pretty frank conversation about sex and Amanda said desperately she�s
not able to explain everything they ask her about but she�s able to show! That
was nasty but her sons took her right. It was their first incest experience so
they recorded it on video.
grew up without mother. She died when Helen was a just small kid. Her father Artur
took care of her, protected and cherished her. Sure, for Helen loved him not like
a father but like a man. But she couldn�t confessed herself in it till the day
he kissed her lips while she was sleeping. She woke up and finally realized how
happy she is. She never enjoyed sex with guys from her college as much as she
enjoyed it with Artur. She got her cunt eaten out as never before and then stuffed
with her father�s strong cock.

Is Being Nice Part of Being Ethical as a Healthcare Provider?
Being on the other side of the healthcare equation is always illuminating. That is, last week I was a patient at our institution having major, elective, abdominal surgery. Most of the care I received was kind and humane, but when it was not the negative effects were not small. Before I "go negative" I would like to say that every nurse I encountered treated me with respect and empathy, and most did not know I was an attending physician.
But now to the negative. An attending anesthesiologist came into my pre-operative cubicle to interview me prior to the surgery. She started speaking very softly, and she asked me a question that I could not understand. I told her I was hearing impaired, and that I needed her to speak up a bit, and she responded with a snort of derision. I was shocked, and I looked over at my wife who seemed to have read the situation the same way. She then proceeded to speak too loudly for the rest of the interview, and then stood there silently for several minutes filling out paperwork before just turning and walking out. "Can you request another anesthesiologist," my wife asked. "Do you think you can trust her to take care of you while you're asleep?' I had no answer to these questions, and while it follows logically that her rude behavior does not directly impugn her clinical skills, she sowed a seed of doubt in my mind that even Versed (the pre-operative sedative given to patients) did not completely overcome. Her rude behavior increased my fear and anxiety, and lessened my trust in her clinical skills. This questioning of her abilities is emotionally justified, but it was also justified on clinical grounds as well. My pre-operative history and physical, which she should have reviewed prior to speaking to me, documented my hearing loss, and the fact that I use hearing aids. She came in unprepared, and then blamed me for her mistake.
Patients interviewed in a primary care setting responded that physician empathy and caring was even more important to them than physician knowledge and skill [1], but many of us have assumed that in a surgical setting patients would feel differently. But how did I judge the skills of my surgeon except by his reputation, a warm bedside manner and thorough pre-operative informed consent discussion? Being "nice" isn't extra—it is the starting point of patient trust, and lack of trust undermines confidence and creates anxiety. You would think that interpersonal skills would be less important as an anesthesiologist, but you would be wrong. Any healthcare professional that interacts with patients needs to be well mannered, and preferably genuinely caring and compassionate. The nursing assistant who patiently walked me around the unit at 1 am in the morning post-operatively could give lessons to the anesthesiologist.
When it comes to medical education there has been some debate about whether we should screen for empathy or whether we can just teach it as part of the curriculum. I think the answer is both. Few physicians take roles that do not involve direct patient care, so rejecting applicants who have poor interpersonal skills seems both reasonable and appropriate to me. But the "hidden curriculum" of the third and fourth year of medical school has been shown to reduce students' empathy [2], and we as educators need to actively guard against this. At AMC, the antidote is a longitudinal class "Health, Care, and Society (HCS)." The course is taught over all four years of medical school, but combating the erosive effects of the clinical experience begins in the third-year. We meet with students fifteen times during their last two years of medical school to "de-brief" them on their experiences, and help them sort out what they have witnessed. Often we find them excusing the bad behavior of the residents and attendings, and when we challenge them on this their response is often genuine relief, because we have now allowed them to critique inappropriate behavior by their superiors. Even more importantly, we look for positive examples of modeling that can be emulated, and fortunately students are quick to recognize these as well. This "sorting" is critical, because at times the negative behaviors can be so commonplace as to become the norm, and students stop seeing them for what they really are.
Last year a student told me during her Internal Medicine clerkship that she realized that many of the "nicest" residents had graduated from Albany Medical College. It was her supposition, not mine, that the reason was HCS. I have no idea how to test this, but if true it is the highest praise I could have received for the work we are doing. Being "nice" isn't extra—it is the essential starting point of patient care.

FDA unveils safety measures for opioid painkillers (Fox News)
Drugmakers that market powerful painkiller medications will be required to fund training programs to help U.S. doctors and other health professionals safely prescribe the drugs, which are blamed for thousands of fatal overdoses each year. The safety plan released by the Food and Drug Administration on Monday is designed to reduce misuse and abuse of long-acting opioid pain relievers, which include forms of morphine, methadone and oxycodone. The agency's plan mainly involves educating doctors and patients about appropriate use of the drugs.
