Caspase-14 shields skin damage
Ghent – Researchers from VIB, Flanders Interuniversity Institute of Biotechnology have found a molecule which shields the skin from damages from UV-B rays and dehydration. They believe that overprotection of Caspase-14 could open up a way to fortify the skin as a barrier against all kinds of stress. When Geertrui Denecker and colleagues knocked out the aspartat protease Caspase-14 in lab mice, they observed increased levels of UV-B-mediated apoptosis in the epidermis as well as an altered structure of its outer surface, the stratum corneum (Nature Cell Biol. 9(6):666-74). Further analyses showed that caspase-14 deficency led to a significant increase of so-called keratohyalin F- granules, a kind of storage vehicle for profilaggrin, a calcium binding protein involved in terminal differentiation of the epidermal cells. Experiments with a recombinant Caspase-14 showed that profilaggrin-processing is impaired in the knock-out mice. This is accompanied by formation of cyclobutane pyrimidine dimers, leading to UVB-sensitivity.

1% for the Holidays
Things 1% Member products are great for:
#16: holiday presents (#1-15 forthcoming)
These days, the average consumer good has a two month lifespan. That means the product is either obsolete, broken, or forgotten within 60 days of purchase. More than ever, looking for a timeless and thoughtful gift for the holidays comes with a new (environmental) challenge — to reduce the junk effect while supporting more environmentally-friendly brands.
So if you're buying a gift this holiday season, consider getting one from a company that has a 1% member logo on the label or their company website. If the pants you're eyeing for your sibling came from a 1% member company, you can let him or her know their new trendy trousers also came with an environmental commitment woven into their basic fabric. And if you want to go one step further in showing your 1% support, there are a handful of items adorned with the 1% logo available in the 1% store.
Luckily, member businesses now cover most all product categories we dutifully peruse during the holiday seasons. Case in point – I took 15 minutes to see if I could come up with a variety of 1% Member companies that make pants. I used the 1% member search engine, the 1% online store suppliers list, and some basic web searching.
Here's what I came up with.
Mt. Borah www.mtborah.com
Patagonia www.patagonia.com
Mountain Khakis www.mountainkhakis.com
Frugi www.welovefrugi.com
MEK www.mekdenim.com
Rock Revival www.rockrevival.com
Volcom www.volcom.com
Not Just Pretty www.notjustpretty.com
Green Vogue www.easyoga.com
Beebliss www.beebliss.com
Pretty good list for 15 minutes of searching, right? And I'm sure there are plenty of others, too. If you're a 1% member with pants for sale, please let me know! I will add you to this post. jake -at- onepercentfortheplanet -dot- org

Back in 2011, Focus Home Interactive published Rotastic on XBLA. Rotastic was an okay game in its own right, but had mechanics that were better suited for mobile platforms. In June 2012, we learned Rotastic would be making its way to iOS and Android under the name Knights of the Round Cable. Since then, the game has taken on yet another name change, and is now referred to as Super Knights. Super Knights was just released on the Android platform under Chillingo for free.
The core gameplay is just as it was in Rotastic. Your heavily-bearded knight will swing and rotate around on pegs scattered across each level while he collects a lot of gems. However, Super Knights is not an exact copy of Rotastic. You're automatically moved from area to area until you eventually fall victim to random hazards. Your performance dictates how many coins you earn. The coins can be spent in the in-game store on upgrades and new knights.
In many ways, this is an entirely new game that happens to use the same mechanics as Rotastic. I think it's worth checking out if you have some time to kill.

High school teacher tells student he can be arrested for criticizing Obama
She told the class that it was a criminal offense to criticize Obama.

The video appears to have been taken with a camera phone pointing to the
ceiling and does not show the teacher or any of the students.
After criticizing Mitt Romney, a North Carolina high school teacher
yelled at a student for asking a question about Barack Obama, telling
him that he could be arrested for criticizing Barack Obama.
Sarah Campbell wrote at the Salisbury Post
Saturday that the heated exchange began "with a classroom conversation
about a recent news story detailing Republican presidential candidate
Mitt Romney allegedly bullying a classmate in prep school. It turns into a heated, sometimes confrontational debate."
"Didn't Obama bully someone though," one student asked, referring to
an incident in Obama's memoir, "Dreams from My Father," in which Obama
admitted pushing a girl when other students called him her boyfriend.
"Stop, no, because there is no comparison," the teacher said.
According to the teacher, Romney is "running for president," and
therefore does not deserve the same respect as Obama, who "is the
"Listen, let me tell you something, you will not disrespect the president of the United States in this classroom," she said.
She went on to tell the student that he "will not" say what he wants
about Obama, and asserted that it was a crime to "slander" the
President. The student responded by recalling that many spoke ill of
George W. Bush while he was President, and such arrests would violate
the Constitutional right to free speech.
The teacher asked: "Do you realize that people were arrested for saying things bad about Bush?"
But Michael Bitzer, a political science professor at Catawba College,
told the Post he had "no idea" what the teacher was talking about when
she claimed people "were arrested for saying bad things about Bush."
"I have never heard of anyone arrested for saying derogatory things
about George W. Bush, which I am assuming she is referring to," he said.
"Her belief that if one slanders the president is not very accurate —
if you 'threaten' the president, that is another story, and that is a
criminal offense."
Bitzer went on to say the student was more correct than the teacher.
"Her point about not being able to say anything 'disrespectful' about
the president does fly in the face of the First Amendment, and while
she may wish to enforce that edict about 'respecting' the president, the
issue seems to have gotten personal on her part," he added, saying that
her attempt to make a point seems to have been overshadowed by her
personal feelings toward Obama.
"Granted, she apparently tried to ensure that a respectful
conversation was had about the president, but she seems to have taken
things a bit too personally — and it appears the student was set on
making a confrontation in the guise of raising a question about 'who
bullied who — both Romney and Obama'," he wrote.
Bitzer said the teacher was a "bit overboard in being rude towards
the student," but added that the student "was also trying to pick a
The school system said it could not comment on the incident publicly,
but said the social studies teacher - who was not identified - is still
working for the district.
"The Rowan-Salisbury School System expects all students and employees
to be respectful in the school environment and for all teachers to
maintain their professionalism in the classroom. This incident should
serve as an education for all teachers to stop and reflect on their
interaction with students," the district told the Post in an email.

The Brewton-Parker College softball team finished its best-ever conference season with a doubleheader sweep of Georgia Southwestern State University at Americus on April 13 to lock up at least a tie for third place in the Georgia-Alabama-Carolina Conference standings.
Then, after splitting a non-conference twin bill against Savannah College of Art and Design on April 16, the Lady Barons' GACC situation actually improved for this week's conference tournament, Thursday through Saturday in Dahlonega.
By virtue of top-seeded and regular-season champion North Georgia College and State University's doubleheader sweep of Faulkner University (Ala.) on April 14, Faulkner and Brewton-Parker were locked into a tie for third with 19-9 GACC records. However, the teams split their four games, with each sweeping on the road.
Because of the Lady Barons' doubleheader split against North Georgia on March 26, Brewton-Parker won the third-place tiebreak after Faulkner was winless against the Lady Saints.
The Lady Barons (33-14 overall) therefore open the GACC tournament against No. 6 seeded Shorter College (8-20, both overall and in GACC action) on Thursday at 4 p.m.
A win puts the Lady Barons into Friday's noon game against the winner of the 2 p.m. game between No.2 seeded Georgia Southwestern (21-7, 33-18) -- against which the Lady Barons went 3-1 -- and No. 7 Emmanuel College (6-22, 12-40 before a Tuesday non-conference doubleheader). A loss against Shorter results in an 8 p.m. game Thursday against the Southwestern-Emmanuel loser.
The championship semifinal is set for 6 p.m. Friday, with the championship game at 1 p.m. Saturday. A second title game, if necessary, will be at 3 p.m.
"We broke the school records for conference wins and conference finish," said second-year Lady Barons coach Jason Bryant. "We are looking forward to this weekend."
The Lady Barons earned their school-record 19th conference victory with their 4-0 and 5-2 sweep of Southwestern, with senior Kelly Hamilton of Fergus, Ontario, getting the win in the opener and assisted offensively by Hiram freshman Lindsay Hamrick's two-out, three-RBI double.
In the nightcap, Tonya Golden got the win, aided by a two-run homer and three RBI overall by freshman Alease Connell of Nashville, Ga., who drove in four base runners on the day.
Against SCAD, Hamilton (19-7) pitched a solid game in the opener but was outdone by her Bees counterpart, Sarah Areheart, who struck out eight and scattered three hits and aided her own cause with a two-run double in SCAD's three-run third inning – all the Bees needed for a 3-0 win.
"Kelly pitched a great game, but we didn't match the other girl
pitch for pitch," Bryant said.
"SCAD played a very good game."
In the nightcap, however, Golden (10-4) took the upper hand and got the 9-5 win with lots of run support.
"We played very well offensively, highlighted by Ashley Todd (Claxton sophomore) and her two-out, two-RBI double for a 6-5 lead in the fifth," Bryant said.
Connell then drove home two runs
with a double in the sixth, giving the Lady Barons their final margin. Sophomore
Rachael Harper of Brunswick had a pair of two-out hits also produced runs.

Friday, March 28, at 3:30 PM in NSC 224. Join us for refreshments in the Planetarium at 3:05 PM.
The disparity between the availability and utilization of solar energy can be overcome with effective storage technology. One promising pathway is to use solar energy to produce a fuel, thereby storing the energy in chemical bonds. Within this pathway, solar thermochemical metal oxide cycles that produce hydrogen and carbon monoxide from water and carbon dioxide are of considerable interest. I will present experimental studies of two approaches for solar thermochemical metal oxide cycles to split water and carbon dioxide. The first is based on the dissociation of zinc oxide, and the second is based on the partial reduction of cerium dioxide. In the zinc-oxide-based cycle, a new approach to hydrogen and carbon monoxide production is proposed based on the heterogeneous oxidation of Zn(g). The kinetics of Zn(g) oxidation will be presented and shown to overcome limitations associated with the oxidation of solid and liquid zinc. In the cerium dioxide-based cycle, hydrogen and carbon monoxide are produced via the oxidation of partially reduced cerium dioxide. The effect of solid morphology on the thermochemical cycling behavior of cerium dioxide will be presented using three-dimensionally ordered macroporous cerium dioxide as an example. I will also briefly introduce a third metal oxide cycle based on iron oxide for hydrogen production jointly under study by the Chemistry and Mechanical Engineering departments at Valpo and show how the solar furnace in the James S. Markiewicz Solar Energy Research Facility supports the effort.

Cuban Five lose appeal, protests build
Almost ten months after defense attorneys presented oral arguments, the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals June 4 delivered bad news to prisoners Gerardo Hernandez, Fernando Gonzalez; Rene Gonzalez; Ramon Labanino; and Antonio Guerrero, collectively known as the Cuban Five. The three judge panel reaffirmed all five convictions plus the sentences imposed on two of the men. However, the Appeals Court did revoke life sentences for Labanino and Guerrero, also Fernando Gonzalez' 19-year term. The judges noted that "no top secret information was gathered or transmitted." Their cases go back to the Miami court for resentencing.

THE NEW SEASON/MOVIES; Hannibal to Hobbits, Pinochet to Pinocchio
By DAVE KEHR (Compiled with the assistance of SUZANNE O'CONNOR)
Published: September 8, 2002
THE PINOCHET CASE -- Gen. Augusto Pinochet's arrest for rights abuses committed while he was the military ruler of Chile, and the effort to bring him to trial, are the subject of this documentary by Patricio Guzman, whose ''Battle of Chile'' was one of the most widely seen political films of the 1970's. Wednesday.
ALIAS BETTY -- From Claude Miller, a French psychological thriller about a promising young novelist (Sandrine Kiberlain) whose orderly suburban life is destroyed when her young son dies in an accident. But wait, there's more: her deeply disturbed, abusive mother (Nicole Garcia) moves in and decides that Betty needs another child to care for -- so she kidnaps one. From a novel by Ruth Rendell, ''The Tree of Hands.'' Friday.
BARBERSHOP -- A barbershop on Chicago's South Side becomes the gathering place for an assortment of neighborhood characters, including the crusty veteran barber (Cedric the Entertainer), a self-regarding college student (Sean Patrick Thomas), an ex-con trying to stay out of trouble (Michael Ealy) and a street-smart woman (the rap star Eve) who still isn't tough enough to tell off her double-dealing boyfriend. Ice Cube is the uncertain owner, who's inherited the shaky business from his father. Directed by Tim Story. Friday.
CHILDREN OF THE CENTURY -- The tumultuous love story of two French literary icons of the early 19th century: the novelist George Sand (Juliette Binoche) and the poet Alfred de Musset (Benoît Magimel, of ''The Piano Teacher''). Things fall apart in Venice, where de Musset is distracted by drugs and Sand by a handsome Italian doctor. With Stefano Dionisi and Karin Viard; Diane Kurys (''Entre Nous'') directed, departing from her usual autobiographical mode. Friday.
ELVIRA'S HAUNTED HILLS -- Cassandra Peterson brings her bosomy vampire character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, out of retirement for a horror spoof set in Translyvania. Directed by Sam Irvin, it's said to be a send-up of the Vincent Price-Edgar Allan Poe horror films of the early 60's. Friday (midnight shows only).
IGBY GOES DOWN -- Kieran Culkin is Igby Slocumb, a restless 17-year-old from a decaying patrician family. Sent to a military school by his uncomprehending parents (Bill Pullman and Susan Sarandon), he soon breaks out and makes for New York, where he finds refuge at the bachelor pad of his swinging godfather (Jeff Goldblum). He meets his godfather's clotheshorse girlfriend (Amanda Peet) and an oversophisticated young woman (Claire Danes), who teach him a few things about life. Written and directed by Burr Steers; with Jared Harris and Ryan Phillippe. Friday. A related article is on Page 33.
MAHAGONNY -- The musicologist and experimental filmmaker Harry Smith shot this avant-garde feature from 1970 to 1972, drawing on downtown friends like Patti Smith, Allen Ginsberg and Jonas Mekas to create a vision of daily life in New York City set to Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht's 1930 opera of the same name. Friday.
QUITTING -- A dramatization of the true story of the Chinese actor Jia Hongsheng, who plays himself. A rising star in Chinese television, Jia drifted into drugs and despair and was rescued when his parents (who also play themselves) arrived from the country to take care of him. Directed by Zhang Yang, who made the gentle, crowd-pleasing ''Shower.'' Friday.
STEALING HARVARD -- After the controversial comedy ''Freddy Got Fingered,'' the MTV comic Tom Green returns to the big screen, partnered with the affable Jason Lee in a romp about a young man who turns to crime to finance a Harvard education for his niece. With Seymour Cassel, Dennis Farina, Richard Jenkins and John C. McGinley; the director is the once and future Kid in the Hall Bruce McCulloch. Friday.
SWIMMING -- Lauren Ambrose of ''Six Feet Under'' plays a sexually uptight teenager working in her father's diner in Myrtle Beach, S.C. She opens up when she befriends an older, more experienced girl (Joelle Carter). Robert J. Siegel directed and co-wrote the script (with Lisa Bazadona). Friday.
TED BUNDY -- Michael Reilly Burke plays the notorious serial killer of the 1970's, who claimed to have murdered more than 35 women. Directed and co-written by Matthew Bright (a specialist in the material -- his last film was ''Ed Gein,'' about another prolific murderer), the film is told from Bundy's point of view. Friday.
THE TRANSPORTER -- Jason Statham, one of the lads in the British crime film ''Snatch,'' plays a mercenary hired to kidnap the daughter of a Hong Kong crime lord whose specialty is smuggling immigrants into France.

The Hong Kong sexpot Shu Qi makes her English-language debut. Friday.
DAS EXPERIMENT -- In Oliver Hirschbiegel's German film, Moritz Bleibtreu of ''Run, Lola, Run'' is a journalist who infiltrates a psychological experiment. Twenty paid volunteers will be locked up in a mock prison, where each will be assigned a role either as a guard or as an inmate; their only instructions are to stay in character for two weeks while a team of psychologists observes them. That, of course, is not as easy as it sounds. A big commercial success on its home turf. Mr. Hirschbiegel is to direct the next chapter in the ''Blade'' series. Sept. 18.

Giant-cell arteritis (GCA) is a disease involving inflammation of blood vessels. It is sometimes called "temporal arteritis," and it can lead to blindness if it is not treated. Some studies have suggested that patients with GCA may be at increased risk for other blood vessel diseases, including heart attacks; strokes; and blockages of arteries providing blood to other parts of the body, such as the legs ("peripheral artery disease").
To see whether patients with GCA have an increased risk for heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease.
3408 patients with a new diagnosis of GCA and 17,027 people without GCA.
The researchers collected data on whether patients with a new diagnosis of GCA subsequently had a heart attack, a stroke, or peripheral artery disease. They did the same among a group of people with similar characteristics but without a diagnosis of GCA to see whether patients with GCA had these problems more often.
Patients with GCA had higher rates of heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease than people without GCA. The increased risk for these problems was most pronounced during the first month after the diagnosis of GCA was made.
This type of study cannot tell whether having GCA caused more heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease. Other factors common to both GCA and these other problems (such as the severity of other risks) may have caused the findings.
Physicians and patients should be aware of the apparent increase in risk for heart attacks, strokes, and peripheral artery disease if a diagnosis of GCA is made so that any appropriate preventative measures may be taken and early warning signs may be noted and treated promptly.

Is this Rafa's last season...
Rafa says that the main target this year is domestic honours so does that mean if he fails to deliver the title or at least be 'close' challengers, will he get the sack? I really think that the time is now right for him to deliver. He has got new players in with hopefully another to come. I dont think failure will be an option this season.Sort: Newest | Oldest | Most Replied Expand all replies
Considering how long he has on his contract the board (owners) will probably keep him till it runs out maybe giving him an extension is he brings the EPL back or gets close and brings another trophy.
Personnally I wanna see us with the EPL, CL or FA Cup. And getting close on the EPL if we don't get it.

I much prefer if this is the American's last season with us!
...win the CL..he stays
...win EPL..he stays
...win FA CUP...runner up in either of above...he prob stays..
..win League CUP...runner up in EPL or CL...he may stay..
...win f**k all....out on his ar*e....

Boing, if you have been a long time reader of this forum, you should know that I back Rafa 95% of time. Yes, there may be issues that I disagree with him, but those are purely academic and subjective. Given the nuisance from the board, I really don't know anyone better who can put up with the shxt and take us forward.
If he persists with his rotation policy then surely he will fail? There are no easy beats in the EPL.
- 1 Reply to gary
IF Benitez STARTS Robbie Keane up front partnering Torres and maintains that partnership at least for all EPL fixtures then I think perhaps there is room for some optimism about this season. IF Benitez stubbornly persists with the insane policy of rotation in one last ditch effort to prove himself right then perhaps its best to wave bye-bye right now to any hopes we might harbour of a serious challenge for the Title. I feel even die-hard Rafa Loyalists will this season finally lose patience with the man should he persist with the much detested rotation policy.
im still not sure about rafa...sometimes he's a genius and sometimes he does some crazy stuff...but to be fair last season we lost only 4 games 1 less than the mancs as you all know we drew a hell of a lot of games so maybe and hopefully with this in mind and if its his last season (only he knows surely) he will go out all guns blazing and forget about thinking of the next weekends game at half time as he normaly does
- 2 Replies to Andrew
Like the way Andrew A thinks hope hes right when he says its pos Rafa knowing this could very well be his last season will go out ALL GUNS BLAZING...THIS would be truly an adventure surely there cant just be me wanting to see him use what in my opinion is a very talented squad in this way rather than this dull strategy of packing the side with midfielders and expecting everybody even Torres to tackleback soon as the slightest pressure from the opposition threatens ? We see this all the time , even in the early stages of home games with the score still at 0.0
Then there s the madness of incessant ROTATION....
Start the strongest eleven and rotate but only from the bench when the game is already comfortably won or as a result of an unforseen injury. Let our strongest starting eleven have the chance to develop an understanding so that they can gel .......
This insane incessant rotation of the starting eleven ISNT going to bring us any trophies if its used again this season....I feel Rafa is a stubborn man determined to prove to us hes right even in the face of much criticism from the fans and for this reason Im not optimistic about the chance of honours this season but I hope Im wrong and Andrew A is right and Rafa stuns everyone by adopting a strategy of going out with ALL GUNS BLAZING ditching his extreme caution tactics and ....GOING FOR GOAL!!!
A Yahoo! User Aug 2, 2008 22:55 Flag
Gentlemen ( and Ladies ) a bit of patience please. Rafa called
a mad genius? Thats probably deadly accurate. He seems to
piss off as many people as he pleases. I've whined & bitched
myself with his constant rotation tactics. But.........give the man
some credit where credit is due. Every damn one of you knows
that in the majority of those draws last year....our boys carried
the play. We desperately needed another striker.......... cold ,
clinical , and deadly up front to provide the finish. Torres ,
talented though he is , can't be the lone assassin...it don't work.
And Rafa has strengthened the side with the addition of Keane.
Rafa ain't going nowhere , he ain't done here just yet thank you
very much.
Closer. Ever closer.
This is a hungry talented team. Bring on the new season.

This is a weekly snapshot of what was happening in Dallas, the nation and the world the year President John F. Kennedy was assassinated.
Dallas: Assistant City Attorney Alex Bickley argued in District Court to block Irving's efforts to annex a five-mile strip of the Trinity River flood plain from Irving's southern boundary to roughly the Commerce Street Bridge.
— The State Highway Commission authorized median guard rails for Interstate 35E from Marsalis Avenue to the Trinity River bridge and from the T&P Railroad bridge to the Harry Hines Boulevard interchange.
Texas: The House voted 120-9 to keep a bill alive that would replace the poll tax with permanent voter-registration system. President Kennedy had urged Texas and 22 other states to ratify a constitutional amendment banning poll taxes in federal elections.
Nation: Flights by Russian aircraft created a buzz across the country after two Russian reconnaissance planes flew for half an hour over a remote area of southwest Alaska. Four other Russian planes flew over the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Constellation in the western Pacific.
World: Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev told of his discovery of potato chips while traveling in America by airplane in 1959. "We were served thinly cut, fried potatoes, prepared in a factory," he recalled. "They were produced by firms in special packages. They were excellently kept as they are dry."

DENVER - Federal officials Tuesday began conducting a series of public meetings to discuss Colorado's proposed plan for managing roadless areas in national forests.
Colorado is one of two states - along with Idaho - that has petitioned federal officials with plans for managing its undeveloped national forest land amid a lingering dispute over federal regulations for almost 60 million acres of untouched land across dozens of states.
Colorado's plan for managing about 4.2 million acres of its undeveloped national forest areas would more than double the amount of land suggested for higher protection than what was offered under a 2001 federal proposal.
That plan - adopted just before former President Bill Clinton left office - prohibited commercial logging, mining and other types of development on about 58 million acres of national forest in 38 states and Puerto Rico.
A policy from the George W. Bush administration later began to allow commercial development on some of the protected land and required that state's petition for protection of roadless areas.
Elise Jones, executive director at the Colorado Environmental Coalition said the Obama administration has defended the 2001 roadless rules in federal court and repeatedly expressed support for protecting undeveloped areas.
Colorado's latest rules include a proposal that that offers more protection to about 562,000 acres. The "upper tier" protection stipulates that land wouldn't be subject to exceptions and would get the highest levels of protection.
Colorado's proposal set aside about 8,300 acres to allow for potential ski resort expansions. It also allowed for forest thinning near residential areas as a wildfire prevention technique.
The proposal also makes an exception for coal miners in western Colorado and allowed for the construction of methane vents.
The latest version of Colorado's roadless rules has been in development since 2005. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said in April the changes reflect the interests of local residents and stakeholders.
A 90-day public comment period on the proposed rules and a draft statement of its potential environmental impacts opened last month. The open houses are for the public to discuss any new revisions or proposals in the roadless rules draft that opened to public comment.
The draft currently up for review came after 200,000 people submitted comments to federal and state officials.
But environmental officials say they offer too many exceptions, especially for oil and gas drilling.
If the Colorado rules are adopted, it would prohibit road construction on oil and gas leases issued in roadless areas. But the rule doesn't apply to leases that had been previously issued in roadless areas.
"It's also important to recognize that the adverse effects of roads extend far beyond their immediate footprint," said Barry Noon, a biology professor at Colorado State University.
Road construction would impact Colorado's watersheds and fragment wildlife habitats, Noon said.
The open houses start Tuesday at the U.S. Forest Service's regional office in Golden. Public meetings are set to continue across Colorado through June 16.

Actor, Mr.Ajith Kumar who is passionate towards biking, took a ride with his BMW bike from Pune to Chennai.He crossed a distance of 1354 Km from Navnit Motors Pvt.Ltd , Pune to the Valmiki Nagar Post office, Chennai. He chose the AH 47/NH 4 to reach chennai. He has taken 19 hours and 26 minutes to complete this trip.
He already took a bike ride for road safety in the month of August. At that time he has taken a bike ride from Chennai to Bangalore in order to create the awareness of road safety and this bike trip also to explore the traffic culture.
He felt that that the road trip was like meditation that gave him a lot of time to think about his other future plans .He was spotted at many places on the road side with all necessary safety measures. He enjoyed eating local foods at the roadside shops.
A person close to the actor says , "After wrapping up a small patch work for 'Arrambam', Ajith drove his bike from Mumbai to Pune, to shoot for 'Veeram'. After completing his 20-day schedule for the film, he decided to ride back from Pune to Chennai in his bike. With the help of a road map, he rode more than 1300 km for about 19 hours in his bike with all the necessary safety gear. This road trip is to continue the road safety campaign and also to get to know more about the traffic culture in India. He has always wanted to discover that."

WAREHAM — Voters will be asked to appropriate $110,000 from the Community Preservation Fund to restore the roof of the Multi-Service Center at Monday's special Town Meeting.
They will also be asked to approve spending $7,500 from the same fund to create a "concept plan" for a Nature Explore Outdoor Classroom/Play Area on the grounds of the public library.
All told, voters will act on 26 articles when the special session convenes at 7 p.m. Monday at Wareham High School.
Also on the warrant are proposals dealing with bylaws for medical marijuana treatment centers and sign regulations, as well as a citizens' petition to override a recent decision by selectmen permitting town committees, boards and commissions to participate in meetings remotely.
Articles on the warrant but expected to be withdrawn include a request to borrow up to $60,000 to fund a feasibility study to repair the high school roof; that cost will now be absorbed by the School Department. Also expected to be pulled are articles creating a bylaw for civil fingerprinting of vendors and authorizing the purchase of a vacuum truck.
Reflecting the town's improved accounting measures, a proposed article authorizing voters to pay outstanding bills from the previous fiscal year will also be withdrawn. According to Town Administrator Derek Sullivan, the town has no unpaid bills from fiscal 2013.

Friday October 17 2008 / Science & Technology
Is this the world's first Sat Nav?
Called the Plus Fours Routefinder, this little British invention was designed to be worn on your wrist, and the "maps" were printed on little wooden rollers which you would turn manually as you drove along.
The tiny scrolls show the route as you motor along, winding continully to display the bit of the road you are on. There's even a little "Stop" instruction at the end of the route.
OK, it doesn't use satellites so it's really just a Nav, but as it was invented in 1920's this could well be world's first personal navigation system.
It was a great idea, but as there were so few cars on the roads in the 1920s, the device never really took off.
Now consigned to the scrap heap of history, the Routefinder is one of many gadgets patented by inventors who were hoping to strike it rich with their bizarre contraptions.
It's part of a collection of weird and wonderful inventions, all conceived between 1851 and 1951, which have gone on display at the British Library in London.

This telenovela star opted for a more conservative look, but she accessorized it enough with a chic bronze necklace and clutch to make it look younger.

As Scooby would say… Rut Roh!
The Monday preview . . . . now that's promising!
Guess it's been a while since we last saw ol' Tunk.
Uh-oh … Here we go again…
Lem-me out of here!
Alternate Alley Oop Chapter 20 "The Coup in Moo Falls Mainly on Oop"(148) 1/11/2014 Sunday
(While Alley and company are busy they fail to have seen that others barred the inside as well Then made sure the the huge bolts can't be pulled out easily, just as on the other side.) The battle begins and our side is out numbered. But then Alley Oop, Ooola and Dinny are fearsome fighters and will give them the one-two-break-your-jaw treatment.
Eeny feels comfortable enough to sit back on her throne, Wootietoot is on her own, and she isn't alone! The other four former rulers are dejected and weak but still have hope. Hope that their side will eventually prevail and the death by long minutes will end.
Fortunately for Eeny, some captive dinosaurs, newly caught, were put in the Arena of Justice holding pens first before the others were released to join the battle outside. The ones they did have were a pale green one with spines on its back and they can be shot from its tail when in danger,a blue jumping meat eater, a white mastodon with red eyes, and a tree climbing meat eater with mottled scaly skin of dappled grays, greens and black to hid itself in the trees and a muscular tail. Here on the ground it is easily seen. The Hairshirts keep it from climbing unto the dais where Eeny and the dejected kings are. Not counting the four xooloo spiders already there. Two of which are up on that same dais to guard the kings and Eeny.
The green spiny back growls and shoots several spines, some hit near by dinos and one went just past Dinny's head and ricocheted by Alley's club to spin off smacking against a nearby wall between two startled Hairshirts.
Morning, Oopsters.
She'd better start caring. This is going to develop into an international incident.
"One if by land, two if by sea …. What the heck am I supposed to do about this….?'
maybe a 'Moooolambassador' will emerge….
A great football playoff greeting to the Benders and the
readers of Alley Oop. Ooola definitely doesn't want to land
in the middle of Lem. King Tuk will demand that Ooola
show how she controls the pterosaur (she doesn't) to be
able to use the lizard as a weapon against Moo.
Long ago Alexander Graham Bell, of telephone fame, said
"The nation that secures control of the air will ultimately
control the world. Tuk will think this Ooola can't and won't
explain this and will probably end up in the Lem pit for Alley to rescue.
What an AWESOME Sunday page. Enjoyable. Great artwork, great job on the coloring. A great moment in Alley Oop History.
the white border stripe, and the signs…lame but hilarious.
a new adventure in Lem looks promising.
In the last panel; Lem looks like a pretty neat place with the high rise apartments.
I'm thinking of mooving there.
A pterosaur has to land up on a cliff or very tall tree. They are not able to, easily, take off from the ground. Looks like Ooola's mount will be heading for it's home-cliff overlooking beautiful downtown Lem.
Lots 'a good visuals and action!
I can see it all in my head. I like it!
very Mooving

Back when Nintendo mysteriously announced the 3D-capable 3DS in a blunt press release that looked more like an internal memo, we speculated that the company could've been looking to shore up their stock price ahead of the financial year ending. As it turns out, the move was a defensive one based on Japanese press discovering the 3DS' existence. According to one analyst, suppliers had spilled the beans on the handheld - which promises stereoscopic gaming without demanding special glasses be worn - and Nintendo chose to break the news themselves.
"Apparently, the Japanese press was all over it and talked with suppliers there and Nintendo just wanted to get out ahead by breaking the news to prevent a leak. Does it clash with the DSi XL? Yes it does" Billy Pigeon, senior analyst, M2 Research
The news couldn't have come at a worse time for Nintendo of America, what with the DSi XL - which we reviewed yesterday - going on sale shortly after the 3DS was confirmed. However, it seems Nintendo prioritized their Japanese audience; the DSi XL - as the DSi LL - has been on sale in Japan for several months now.

Casey Stoner savored the Australian national anthem with his eyes firmly closed under the bright lights of Qatar after taking victory in the first night race in the history of the sport.
The MotoGP World Champion started the defense of his title from fourth on the grid and had dropped to fifth by the end of the first lap, before charging through to set up a stirring battle with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo.
Lorenzo, the Spanish rookie, proved to be the most difficult obstacle between Stoner and his 11th career MotoGP win, but by the eighth lap Stoner was in control and little by little he opened out an insurmountable gap.
"That was a fantastic race and I really enjoyed it — it was like being back in 125s," Stoner said following the race. "The first few laps were really hectic, there were guys bashing fairings and I just tried to stay out of the way. When I got my chance to get through I took it and from there I just focused on setting my pace. Jorge rode brilliantly — it wasn't an easy race by any means, especially at the start. Over the first few laps I was struggling a bit for grip but then the tires got up to temperature and improved. We knew we had a pretty good package for the race but obviously we couldn't be sure that things would go as well as that. I want to say thanks to everybody at Ducati for a great job, my team, the guys at Bridgestone…Thanks everybody."
"Casey is unique…there's nothing more to add to that" said Livio Suppo, Ducati MotoGP project director. "He didn't even make the smallest mistake today and once again he showed why the number 1 is on his bike."
MotoGP pilots next race in Jerez, Spain, on March 30.

When you first bite into the cheesecake at Chiang Mai's "Love at First Bite," you are transported to a place far away. Your mind snaps back to the salient taste memories of cheesecake, real cheesecake and screams: "this is what I've missed!"
Then you begin to look around. You see apple pie, banana cream pie, coconut cream pie, quiches, cookies and all manner of confectionaries; more taste memories waiting to
be explored. The bakery's refrigerators are full with them, tempting you to indulge, to plunge in and enjoy.
You would not be alone in this. "Love at First Bite's" reputation as the place for the best baked goods is growing day
by day, giving the small bakery a steadily growing clientele.A bit difficult to find for the first-timer, this five-star bakery
hides in the guise of an ordinary-looking house, tucked away in the alley-streets on the "other" side of the Ping River, off the Chiangmai-Lamphun Highway.
Customers are free to sit in the air-conditioned glassed-in dining room or opt for a meal out in the garden area, the brunch alcove on the lawn amidst trees and flowers. A driveway leads between these and to a small parking lot,hardly enough for the constant flow of traffic in and out."Love at First Bite" places no ads in the local papers. It doesn't have to. Its advertising is accomplished solely by word of mouth.
Owner Jerry and owner/main baker Mattie S. Watana are an affable, welcoming pair, two people joined by a long- term marriage and love of food. My fianc? and I had the pleasure of joining them one sunny weekend morning, to discuss food, travels and the success of "Love at First Bite."
We arrived to the sound of building.Workmen are busy constructing a larger kitchen in a back corner of the yard, a future addition that will operate as the main kitchen and possible as a teaching studio for Mattie.
"That's my dream kitchen," she told us. "I don't have a kitchen any more, because it's a fulltime bakery … nothing is in the right place."
The Watanas were born in Chiang Mai, but lived in the United States for 27 years and travelled the length and breadth of the land during their stay there; he as a computer specialist and she as an employee of United Airlines. As they travelled, they explored
their love of food, dining with friends, or on their own, trying out the regional cuisines.It is a popular subject with the two of them, for they love to enjoy quality cuisine and they search for the best of food. During our conversation, we veer through subjects as diverse as the best Kow Soy noodles in Chiang Mai to the best lobster ( Maine by a landslide). In Jerry's point of view,the search for good food should take you into the unexplored areas,the places off the beaten path - a bit like the location for "Love at First Bite" in fact.
He explained with one of the regional specialties in the U.S. - Mexican food.
"If I want to go to a real Mexican restaurant, it doesn't have to be expensive," he said. "You eat a burrito at Taco Bell and it won't taste as good as the one from a small mom and pop shop Mexican food. That I can tell. I can tell the difference."
The two of them work well together, each with their respective roles. Jerry acts as the "high- tech" marketing part of the operation, while Mattie mans the ovens. Mattie began her own training early enough. As a girl, she experimented with baking ( her father worked with missionaries)
and picked up early an appreciation of the skills and aptitudes of Western cuisine.
"I have loved to bake since I was a young girl. I never took any course or craft. Somebody up there probably gave it to me,"Mattie said. "Since I was a young girl, I would make food for everybody in the house and make them eat it."
"She's got a talent," Jerry said, nodding in appreciation.
When they returned in 1992, the Watanas settled into their current home and Mattie kept experimenting with baking. At first, she baked for parties and special events, but as time went on, her skill in the kitchen became something of a legend and friends began ordering cakes from her. Jerry retired from his position at Telecom Asia and together, they decided to formally open the shop on July 4th, 1999.
Jerry remembers the first day.
"We picked it because of Independence Day. We wanted to declare to the people that we wanted to be independent. We don't work for anyone," he said. "Well, would you believe the first person to walk in was an American guy?
It was an American guy and his wife. He just saw the sign and he walked in and ordered the chocolate cake."
From there, "Love at First Bite" was born.
My fianc? and I were given a sample of the delicious specialties during our visit, including the ever-popular blueberry cheesecake,a standard from Day One and the rich and creamy Black Russian cake with Kahlua. With a side of coffee, it was a brunch taste test made in heaven.The chocolate cake was rich and creamy (inciting yet another sharp taste memory). There is no "Thai taste" here to the baked goods, a product of using the finest ingredients available - such as cream cheese from Philadelphia, whipped cream from New York and chocolate from Belgium or Switzerland.
On the urging of our hosts, we also partook of a slice of Quiche, the crust of which melted in our mouths. We had tasted the chicken pot pie before, which had incited yet another memory from home, specifically of one of my favourite bakeries in New Hampshire. To go,we were given a slice of Mattie's newest creation, Grasshopper Pie, a sweet minty concoction fresh out of the imagination of the hostess.
"I create new stuff all the time, " she said. " People want to try new things. When I start something new, it goes fast. And if it keeps on going, I keep it and if it doesn't go, then I stop it."
"Love at First Bite" keeps a menu of popular standards (the blueberry cheesecake and chocolate "town" cake are always big sellers), while offering new taste sensations every month. There were just over 20 selections when we visited, ranging from banana cream pie (her favourite) to the macadamia-nut covered Hawaiian Cheesecake. With this blend of innovation and popular standards, "Love at First Bite" stakes a firm claim to its five-star bakery status.
"People in Thailand … they want to open a bakery, so they open a bakery," Jerry said. "They look at a recipe, they take a six month course and they start baking. But put it this way - if you have never eaten it, how can you make a cheesecake the way the cheesecake should taste like? You have to know what it tastes like to make it."
At "Love at First Bite," they have that knowledge, making this home-run bakery the place to go for delicious baked goods and sweet memories in Chiang Mai.

Swami Shri Adgadanad Ji Maharaj came to the recluse of the worldly saint Paramanand Ji at the age of 23 years in November 1955 searching for the truth. The hermitage of Parmanand Ji was at Chitrakoot Anusuiya, Satna, Madhya Pradesh (India) amidst the dense forests infested with wild animals. Living in such inhabitable forest in the absence of any facility. This rightly reflects that he was a great sage.
Reverend Paramhans Ji received premonitions of his arrival many years ago. The day he reached the ashram, Paramhans Ji received divine presage.
He had declared to his disciples, "A young man who is ardently seeking to go beyond the periodicity of life must be coming at any moment now." Moment he cast his eye upon him, Paramahans Ji declared, "Here he is!"
Whenever a pupil comes in contact with a great sage, immediately it is beyond his senses to fathom the greatness of the sage. He was also intimated by the divine soul and chaste Brahmin, "The sages who have been incarnated in this world, your Guru has all those qualities and he is such sage. With the strengthening of his faith in the Guru his spiritual pursuit also speeded up.
Guided under the angelic guidance of the Guru he set out on the path of spiritual freedom. The aim was established.
Maharaj Ji, although was not interested in writing, following the godly directions he has contributed invaluable treatises through speech and in text for the social good. The first such publication is 'Jeevanadarsh and Atmaanubhooti' – is an account of the ideal life and the spiritual pursuit of his Guru Paramhans Paramanand Ji. It is a collection of his life sketch and many astonishing incidents. Many of the people are even alive today, who have seen such unique personality and for that matter they consider themselves very lucky. Secrets of the techniques of spiritual pursuits, which have been revealed to him by the Guru, have also been included in this book. (To know more visit http://www.yatharthgeeta.com/)

Description: Ahimsa is a complicated question. It is a Yogic word, the word which points out to the inner spiritual Sadhana, but later on people linked it with the violence of living beings of the external world.

Will you sign our open letter to the President asking him to propose 125,000 national service positions this year?
In 2009, one of the first acts of your Presidency was to sign the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act into law -- which promised to grow AmeriCorps from 75,000 to 250,000 annual positions by 2017. Since that time, however, AmeriCorps, Senior Corps, and the entire Corporation for National and Community Service has been threatened with elimination year after year in Congress only to be saved at the last moment after thousands of Americans rallied in defense of national service.
Now is the time to get the Serve America Act Back on Track!
Mr. President, we need you to call on Congress to expand national service opportunities this year by sending them a budget this March that takes AmeriCorps to over 125,000 members. (Download the full letter here.)

Puhoi (pronounced POOHOY) is a Maori word meaning "Slow Water".
Puhoi's population a century ago peaked at a little over 500, which is more than at present.
Originally the Puhoi Bohemians were almost totally isolated as the tidal reach of the Puhoi River was the only access. Today State Highway 1 is but a few kms away and although the village is only 50 kms north of Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, it has retained much of it's heritage character.
The 1800s saw the start of the European settlement of New Zealand. The only other comparable ethnic historic village in the country is the French settlement of Akaroa, on Banks Peninsular near Christchurch in the South Island.
Here now is the Puhoi Story.

Phillip Capshaw provides his own unique perspective on everything from local to world events and, as the blog title suggests, believes that nothing is funnier than observing the comical nature of our fellow man and especially Southern Oklahomans. Phillip is a native of Ardmore, Oklahoma, with varied interests who likes to poke fun at almost any group and occupation, but feels as if there is much to make fun of in passing the mirror everyday.
Wow, what a roller coaster that I have been on in the last 24 hours as I write this! My emotions have run the gamut. These are my disjointed thoughts. I think I am pretty typical. At first, we have fascination with the pure power that Mother Nature can dish out. Then there is shock that this is happening to our friends and neighbors. Then the mental see-saw from elation when we see children reunited with parents, to dejection as we see and hear about the death count. I have had tears of joy and tears of sadness, and have been angry. The body count rises and then hours later, it drops in half.
In any event, hindsight is always 20/20, as they say. We want to blame others and ask questions. We see the best and worst in people. Incredible stories of heroism emerge, as well as incredibly insensitive remarks. Fraud is committed, scammers will try to take advantage of people that have already been devastated and looters are apprehended. Some people are using this as an opportunity to drive home their political points. There are astounding acts of generosity and horrible stories of people's greed and sick jokes. The man-hours are probably already into the thousands from paid professionals and volunteers alike. Churches and businesses immediately ramp-up to take care of fellow human beings, regardless of their religious beliefs. Donations are pouring in from all over the world to give to complete strangers. I'm fascinated with the stories as anyone else and have spent hours in front of the computer screen and television. I have friends in the area, so I am concerned as much as the next person, but I will leave you with the words one of my friends, Joel Johnson, wrote on Facebook:
"The People Have a Right to Know. Media have struck again! I just got through watching a KOCO Channel 5 (Oklahoma City) field reporter interviewing a volunteer nurse and nursing student, who said they'd been told by a rescue worker inside the disaster site perimeter that the search for children inside the school had been turned from a search and rescue operation (live victims) to a "recovery" operation (dead victims). Imagine you're a parent whose child is missing, sitting there while fearfully and tearfully praying...not knowing whether or not your child is dead or alive... hearing that on television. Sometimes the mindlessness, callousness, and senselessness of those "talking heads" astounds even me. The fault does NOT lie with the two well-intended, concerned and dedicated volunteers (although they were not authorized spokespersons). Presumably they were there to selflessly donate their time and skills, and to risk their own personal safety...and weren't seeking media attention. They were lassoed while leaving the disaster site, and were exploited by the media. I called in and spoke to the night news editor. My concerns were voiced as both a crisis intervention professional, and as a surviving parent...and in all probability fell on deaf ears. The public may have a "right to know," but the media does NOT have a right to harm, exploit, and boost ratings at the cost of grieving parents, victims, and survivors."
