Raw mango or kairee or kayree as we call in Hindi language is abundant in the summer months. Mango rice is one such classic dish made of fluffy rice, freshly grated raw mango and spices to give a nice tangy and flavorful dish.
Mangoes and summer season go hand in hand. Ugadi marks the beginning of the hot season or summer that coincides with the arrival of the mangoes. Raw mangoes are available in abundance only during the two months (April/ May). Ugadi is characterised by new clothes, sumptuous food and reveling. The air is filled with joy, enthusiasm and gaiety. People in Andhra Pradesh make full use of the raw mangoes to last them until the next season by preparing the famous Mango pickle. They pickle the mangoes with salt, powdered mustard and powdered dry red chilli and a lot of oil to float over the mangoes. This preparation is called "avakai" and lasts for a whole year.
The celebration of Ugadi is marked by religious zeal and social merriment. The doors in house are decorated with mango leaves and flowers. Special dishes are prepared for the occasion. In Andhra Pradesh, eatables such as "Mamidikaaya pulihora" (Mango rice), "bobbatlu" and preparations made with raw mango go well with the occasion. In Karnataka too, similar preparations are made but called "puliogure" and "holige". The famous Ugadi pachadi is also made on this day where they use the raw mango pieces.Raw mango rice is well blended rice with freshly grated mango to give a nice flavor and tangy taste that is enjoyed by most of the people. This simple dish needs less time to prepare and is suitable for lunch box also. To retain mango flavor and the nutrients, do not over-cook raw mango. Raw mango is known as Maangai in Tamil and as Kachcha Aam in Hindi. Rice (cooked) is known as Sadam in Tamil and as Chawal in Hindi.
Mangoes are the joyous herald. These delicious mango fruits have a divine taste and flavor that's quite unrivalled. The mangoes juicy and tangy taste makes it deal served as pickles, pachadis, chutney, juice (panna), mixed in dals and rices and so on. In Thailand, green mango slices are dipped in chilli powder, sugar and salt as a delicious snack item. Grated green mango is used throughout Southeast Asia, India and Malaysia to add a tart flavor to dishes, especially in salads. The mango is the national fruit of India, Pakistan, and the Philippines. The mango tree is the national tree of Bangladesh.
Mamidikaya annam (raw mango rice), a south Indian delicacy is prepared on Ugadi to celebrate the season's fresh produce of mangoes. This dish is almost prepared on the same lines as lemon rice and is the most simple and easiest recipe. It's a wholesome tangy specialty and can also be made with left over rice for an interesting and refreshing change. Mango rice is a healthy rice dish unlike most pulaos and biryanis which calls for generous amount of oil or ghee. The key to this rice dish is mango which lends it a tangy flavor and is counter balanced with a fragrant tempering of dals, chillis, hing, curry leaves, dried red chillies, slit green chillies and a good measure of peanuts or cashew nuts. The simplicity of ingredients keeps the aroma of raw mangoes mixed with turmeric intact and taste is just perfect. The most important thing in this preparation is the quality of raw Mango. The raw mango has to be really sour, so it purely depends on the Mango taste. If the raw Mango has wonderful aroma and sourness then the Mango rice would also have strong flavors and perfect taste.
To prepare perfect Mango rice, add oil in a hot pan, add whole dried red chillies, mustard seeds and cumin seeds. When they crackle add channa dal, urad dal, broken cashew nuts and sauté well, add hing, slit green chillies and curry leaves and fry.Add chopped ginger (optional), turmeric powder, salt and grated mangoes. Cook till the grated mango mixture is tender and then add the cooked fluffy rice and mix well. The mango rice is ready to serve.
Do prepare this dish and enjoy the aromatic flavors of this seasonal raw mango. View the making of mango rice at: https://www.vahrehvah.com/mango+rice:949
Raw mango is specially used in making a wonderful cooling summer drink called panna or panha comes from mangoes. The delicious and very nutritious mango fruit is packed with vitamins and minerals.
The mango is a native fruit of southern Asia, especially Burma and eastern India. It is from these parts of the world that it slowly spread to Malaya, eastern Asia, and eastern Africa. It has been in cultivation for over 4,000 years although it was only introduced in Santa Barbara, California in 1880.
Nutritionally, mangoes are wonderful sources of minerals such as copper and potassium. It also contains traces of other minerals such as manganese, selenium, magnesium, calcium, iron, and phosphorous. Mangoes are high in vitamin A and vitamin C. Traces of other vitamins such as vitamin E, vitamin B, and vitamin K can also be found in this wonderful orange fruit. If you want more vitamin C, try eating a raw mango rather than a ripe one. The fiber content in mangoes is also higher than other fruits. Mangoes are also wonderful blood cleansers. It is also supposed to reduce excessive heat in the body and prevent body odors.

As he pursues his 15th straight win and his 11th knockout during that run against Jean Marc Mormeck on Saturday, it's easy to forget that THE RING heavyweight champion Wladimir Klitschko's relationship with trainer Manny Steward began with a knockout — for the other guy.
Steward debuted with the giant Ukrainian a little less than eight years ago in April of 2004, when Klitschko was stopped in the fifth-round by Lamon Brewster of Los Angeles.
"Considering how we had to pick things up from his having been knocked out, Wladimir's development has been phenomenal," said Steward, also the former trainer of hall of famers Thomas Hearns and Lennox Lewis.
"I would say that my work with him is very rewarding, and that it ranks pretty highly with some of the best experiences that I've had as a trainer."
The nearly 6-foot-7 boxer-puncher will defend his WBA, IBF and WBO belts against former cruiserweight champ Jean Marc Mormeck (36-4, 22 KOs) on EPIX from the ESPRIT arena, Düsseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany. Klitschko (56-3, 49 KOs) is hoping to add the Frenchman to a long line of fallen foes.
Klitschko stopped ex-titleholder Brewster in the seventh round of their rematch in July of 2007, and has also knocked out former American beltholders Chris Byrd, Hasim Rahman, as well as other U.S. fighters such as Calvin Brock, Ray Austin, Tony Thompson and Eddie Chambers.
Yet another American, DaVarryl Williamson, lost by five-round technical decision to Klitschko, who also boasts career-defining wins over Samuel Peter by unanimous decision in September of 2005 and 10th-round knockout of the Nigerian in 2010.
In his last fight, in July of last year, Klitschko won the WBA belt from England's David Haye by unanimous decision, ending Haye's winning streak of 15 straight fights, including 13 stoppages.
RingTV.com: As dominant as you have been, do you still respect the potential for a loss due to your experience against Brewster in 2004 even though you are a prohibitive favorite to beat Mormeck?
Wladimir Klitschko: That's right. People probably forget about 2004, when I went to the bottom of the sport after losing to Lamont Brewster. That's actually the fight where Emanuel and I started to work together.
I think that I have a lot of respect for Emanuel that he saw that I was only 29 years old, and he still saw the fire in the young man that I was. He saw the fire and the talent and he stuck with me.
I believed in myself and Emanuel believed in me, and we worked our way up and back on top. We're not on the top right now, but we're continuing to improve the technique, and the talent that I have.
It's enjoyable, because our relationship is very special. Of course it's not the regular relationship between a boxer and a trainer. I do respect his experience in and outside of the ring, and he respects my experience inside the ring.
It's very artistic work, because he's not always telling me what to do, like, usually, a coach tells a boxer to do this or to do that. It's creative. So I'm listening, and I'm learning from his comments. He's also listening to my comments.
RTV: You said that Manny believed in you, but what made you believe in him?
WK: I can't really tell you. We just meshed. I would compare it to the relationship between a man and a woman. It's like you met your wife, and you knew exactly: That's her.
I saw Emanuel, we started to work out on the pads, and talked a little bit about strategy, and he knew exactly what to say and do. We just clicked. I knew that's what I needed. That was my understanding and my feeling.

Elkins City Council passed the first reading of an ordinance that will increase fire fees by 50 percent over three years during a special meeting on Wednesday. Councilman and Finance Committee Chair Bob Woolwine, 1st Ward, said it is the first increase in the rate since the 1970s.
"The fire department has been running in a deficit for years because the fire fees are to low and we have to use money from the general fund," Woolwine told The Inter-Mountain following the meeting. "A few years ago we changed the amount of square footage that was assessed."
The 50 percent increase will be phased in over three years with the first 20 percent increase coming on Sept. 1 if the ordinance passes a second reading. The second and third phase will both be 15 percent and go into effect on Sept. 1 2012, and Sept. 2, 2013.
City Treasurer Lisa Daniels Smith said building owners are currently assessed a fee of 0.325 cents per square foot and following the full implantation of the increase the assessed fee would be 0.487 cents per square foot.
"All the revenue goes to the fire department," she said. "It will free money up in the general fund to go toward other things."
According to Smith, the city currently brings in about $330,000 per year and the increase will bring in an additional $65,000 the first year and an $50,000 in the next two years of the increase. Smith said after the rate is fully in place the city will be bringing in about $500,000 in fire fee revenue.
"We don't have enough money to operate the way it is," Elkins Fire Department Chief Tom Meader told The Inter-Mountain. "If we have to rely on the revenue coming in, we have to increase it."
Elkins City Attorney said the ordinance will have to pass a second reading on Sept. 1 before it goes into effect. She said the city must also make a legal announcement about the increase and hold a public hearing before the city can take action on the second reading.
Councilman Danny Satterfield, 5th Ward, asked why council had to have a special meeting to consider the increase.
"I wish I knew," Councilman and Finance Committee Member Tom Hensil, 2nd Ward, said. "It somehow fell through the cracks."
City Council will next meet at 7 p.m. on Aug. 18.

|Sasha, Michelle and Malia Obama in Glendalough, Co. Wicklow last week. (EPA)
What did the Obama girls do to deserve such torture during their 24-hour visit to Dublin last week?
Bored stiff by some ancient book in Trinity College, forced to listen to ancient diddle-aye music at the now ancient show Riverdance, eaten alive by midges while looking at an ancient rock in Glendalough and, worst of all, having a pub lunch with some ancient, nauseating rock star called Bono.
Is it any wonder they were looking sulky and pulling cross-eyed faces? At least they weren't on their phones all day like Irish teenagers.
After getting over the shock of how unimpressed the Obama girls seemed to be, and how their visit here with their mom was being reported back in the U.S., the Irish media decided to be sympathetic and agree.
The Book of Kells and the old ledgers showing the family births and deaths of their Irish ancestors, the Kearneys, which the girls were shown in Trinity, was hardly interesting stuff for teenagers. Riverdance is a show for middle-aged people. Being bitten by midges is horrible and scary, especially if you're not used to it.
And who -- adult or teenager -- would want to be subjected to Bono and his ego when they're trying to eat their lunch?
The negative coverage was a bit of a laugh, we decided. And it wasn't all boring, despite what the pictures seemed to show.
They're barely teenagers, for God's sake. Give them a break.
It's not so long since some of my gang were teenagers, and I know all about this. You and I might think there are accepted standards of behavior in such situations even for teenagers (like when they're visiting relatives or attending school events), behavior involving politeness, showing an interest, making an effort to engage, smiling now and then.
It's not a big deal. I'm just saying that when my teenagers behaved that way back in the day I was not happy with them. I'm just saying, that's all.
Hundreds of Irish kids go on school trips to see the book of the Books of Kells here every year and find it amazing. The history of your own family should be fascinating to anyone.
Glendalough is so spectacular (even when there are a few midges around) it could be a location for Game of Thrones. What's not to like? Even Riverdance is impressive, despite being a bit of a cliché these days.
And as for His Bononess ... well, okay, there I give up. He's enough to make anyone go cross-eyed.
As various people here said afterwards, it should have been lunch with Niall from One Direction. That surely would have put a smile or two on those sad, disconnected Obama faces.
But it wasn't all Yawnsville, even for teenagers, although I do have some sympathy for the Obama girls. (At least they weren't on their phones, like the texter Enda Kenny when he was meeting the last Pope.)
The person from Official Ireland who put the program together clearly was trying to show off things that would look good on TV in the U.S. and attract lots of American tourists rather than genuinely entertain a couple of young teenagers.
Was that the right thing to do? Probably not ... but it's too late now.
The visit also raised some other questions, not just here but in the U.S. How much had it cost? And was it worth it?
The answer is a definite yes, for one reason that got little attention. While First Lady Michelle Obama and the two girls were here the meeting of the G8 leaders was taking place in Fermanagh, bringing the most powerful people in the world (Obama, Putin and the others) to Northern Ireland.
Beautiful Lough Erne and Co. Fermanagh, once a very troubled place where sectarian murder was common, looked wonderful, bathed in sunshine. It looked as beautiful and peaceful a place as you could imagine.
And it also looked British.
The Union Jacks fluttering in the gentle breeze made it very clear to the global audience watching TV news that although the pictures were coming from Ireland, this was happening in a part of the United Kingdom. David Cameron, the British prime minister, was on hand to welcome the world leaders.

Naturally occurring compounds, or natural products, have been and continue to be an important source of commercially successful products and leads in the pharmaceutical, agrochemical and nutritional sectors. The conference Functional Molecules from Natural Sources, which was held at Magdalen College, Oxford in July 2009, set out to highlight current trends, challenges and successes in the exploitation of natural products from microbial, plant and marine sources. This book is based on the proceedings of the conference and comprises modern and emerging perspectives on natural product utilization and improved strategies for their exploitation. Several case studies on important natural product leads, or functional molecules, are presented with the strategy for their development. These detail new medical applications in the use of familiar natural molecules and advances in the understanding and manipulation of natural product biosynthesis at the genetic level. Highlights include an authoritative review of the entire field of natural anticancer agents emphasising those currently in clinical development, an account of the optimisation of the pleuromutilin antibiotic template for human use and a comprehensive description of the research programme that resulted in the discovery of platensimycin. Articles on biosynthesis include studies of the antibiotics of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), the anthrax siderophore petrobactin and the modification of oxidation and glycosylation events in the biosynthesis of mithramycins. Written by leading industrial and academic practitioners from each sector, the book offers authoritative updates on new approaches to the use of naturally occurring compounds within the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical and agrochemical industries.show more

Naturally-occurring compounds have been, and continue to be, a vital source of new leads and of commercially successful products for important industrial sectors, notably pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals. The conference, Functional Molecules from Natural Sources, held at Magdalen College, Oxford, in July 2009 set out to highlight current trends, challenges and successes in the use of natural products from microbial, plant and marine sources. Based on the proceedings of the conference, the themes of this book are modern and emerging perspectives on natural product utilization and improved strategies for their exploitation. It provides case studies on important natural product leads (functional molecules) and their enhancement. These comprise new medical applications for old natural products and advances in the understanding and manipulation of natural product biosynthesis at the genetic level.

Review quote
This book is based upon the proceedings of a conference, Functional Molecules from Natural Sources, organised by the Royal Society of Chemistry's Biotechnology Group and held at Magdalen College, Oxford, in July 2009. Most of the eighteen chapters are in the form of a transcript of an individual lecture given at the conference, while others are derived from a selection of the posters presented at it, and the final chapter provides a summary of those lectures for which a transcript was not available. In order to gain most benefit from the book, readers require some prior knowledge of medicinal or pharmaceutical chemistry and, consequently, its usefulness to many chemistry undergraduate students is likely to be limited. Moreover, at GBP109.99, it is priced well beyond that which most undergraduates would be willing to spend. As is to be expected from any book where individual chapters are written by different authors, the style of the writing varies considerably from chapter to chapter. In some of the best chapters the original 'transcript' appears to have been re-written by its author to make it a more readable chapter in the book. The book concentrates on the continuing importance of active compounds originally identified in and isolated from microbial, plant, and marine sources. The first chapter consists of a comprehensive survey of anticancer compounds that are currently undergoing clinical trials. This is followed by chapters that are case studies of the identification of functional compounds, their subsequent development and enhancement. While later chapters deal with the biosynthesis and genetics of active compounds. Altogether there is much to interest those working in drug discovery and development, or related fields. For undergraduate students, and their teachers, probably the two most useful chapters are "Discovery and Development of Antibiotics with Novel Modes of Action" (S B Singh), an interesting and elegantly written account of the discovery of platensimycin for development as a new antibiotic, and "High Capacity Countercurrent Chromatography for Fast Isolation of Natural Products" (I J Gerrard and D Fisher), a concise account of an important technique that is unlikely to be encountered in standard undergraduate chemistry textbooks. The book contains few errors, and these are simply printing mistakes. However, in some of the cases where the skeletal formula of a compound is included in the text it is on a different page to that in which the compound is first introduced, thus necessitating superfluous page turning and sometimes making it more difficult to compare molecular structures, while in others the size in which the formula has been printed is so small (e.g. page 63, figure 11) as to make comparison of structures hard work. Other figures too, including some photographs of cultures from a microbial strain collection (page 85, figure 2) have been printed too small to serve any useful purpose. The use of colour in the three dimensional molecular diagrams, especially where this had clearly been intended (e.g. page 179, figure 22), would also have been helpful. Although such flaws are not uncommon in contemporary chemistry texts, it would have made the reading of this book a more comfortable experience if they had been rectified prior to publication. It is possible that increasing the number of pages to accommodate larger figures or enable their position in the text to be changed, and the use of colour for diagrams, were rejected on grounds of cost. But if that is the case, a more appropriate economy would have been to publish the book as a paperback rather than a hardback. -- Julian Perfect - New York University in London Higher Phys Ed Sci Acad Cen - Journal 22 Vol 12 Issue 1show more

2015 Kia GT4 Stinger Release Date And Review
- By knjazmilos
- 10 January, 2014
- 1 Comment
If the rumors and announcements about the 2015 Kia GT4 Stinger Concept based vehicle come true we might be getting one really interesting and sporty car. Here is another set of images that are delivered even before the official debut.
Release date of this concept has been scheduled for 2014 Detroit Auto Show where we will be getting additional information's. On the images that we have for now it is obvious that this could be one quite competitive sporty car with great design and specs that promise a lot of fun.
2015 Kia GT4 Stinger Release Date
Under the hood we will be getting the 2.0 liter inline four cylinder engine that will deliver up to 315 hp like in the concept version. Since this will be a 2+2 vehicle with a rear wheel drive which is a great setup for many we expect it to be praised and that explains the highly anticipating crowd and positive comments on info that we have until now.
Main competition to the 2015 Kia GT4 Stinger will be the Hyundai Genesis Coupe but if the 315 hp engine is delivered in combination with great looks and rear wheel drive than this vehicle will have much serious problems with competition. Among those competitors we could see 2015 Ford Mustang that will be offered with EcoBoost turbocharged engine and similar amount of power.
For best performances, power of this turbo unit will be transferred to rear wheels through a six speed manual transmission that will have close ratios allowing great accelerations and performances. On the rear we will be getting Pirelli P-Zero performance tires in 275/35/R20 dimensions while on the from the tires will be fitted but in 235/35/R20 dimension.
For the 2015 Kia GT4 Stinger we will be getting custom 20 inch aluminum wheels that will come with carbon fiber inserts that will reduce weight and improve strength of these alloys. With decent amount of power we need brake force that is delivered by Brembo Gran Turismo two piece cross drilled rotors that come with four piston calipers.
Review Of 2015 GT4 Stinger
Looking at these images there is no doubt that this concept looks really nice. After the official launch we will be able to see everything and get more details. With great color presented here there is no doubt that it will be able to attract more people at Detroit Auto Show.

PARKERSBURG - An assistant superintendent in Raleigh County Schools has withdrawn from consideration as the next superintendent of Wood County Schools.
Kenneth Moles sent an email early Tuesday morning notifying the board of education he was withdrawing, said Tim Yeater, president of the Wood County Board of Education.
When contacted Tuesday at Raleigh County Schools, Moles said his decision was made based on family.
"I have a wife and two children. We try to do most things as a family and make decisions as a family," he said. "After really reflecting and discussing the situation, we decided it was not the right time for this move."
Moles was one of four finalists to succeed Pat Law, who is leaving this summer.
"It had nothing to do with the process or Wood County Schools. It was nothing negative whatsoever. My wife and I just decided now was not the time for me to move into a superintendent seat," Moles said.
Moles said he had previously worked with Wood County Schools and at several area elementary schools through his role at the West Virginia Department of Education in the Office of Title I and School Improvement.
"It was an honor to be selected as a finalist," he said. "Those are good people there and I really was honored to be chosen."
Yeater said he was disappointed Moles withdrew, but said he respected Moles' decision.
"He was obviously a very well-qualified, well-liked candidate," Yeater said. "His reputation at the state level preceded him."
The board was set to interview Moles and three other candidates on Tuesday. Yeater said the board will move forward interviewing Ronald B. Cantley II, an assistant superintendent in Fayette County, W.Va.; John Flint, a retired Wood County Schools administrator, and Thomas Graves, a principal in Russell County, Va. The closed-door interviews began at 5:30 p.m.


text: Pierce Brendan Brosnan is popularly referred to by his professional name Pierce Brosnan. His career in acting is rather interesting since his first visit to a film showing was for a film that he would one day act in. Brosnan is part of the list of top actors who have been featured in lead roles for the infamous James Bond movies. Surprisingly, at the age of 11, he accompanied his step father to watch a film in a London film house, as it turned out this was a James Bond movie.Brosnan was born on May 16 1953 in Drogheda, County Louth, Ireland, UK. His parents Thomas Brosnan and May Smith did not have any other child after their first one. The Brosnan family lived together for a while before Thomas Brosnan left them. Immediately the lower income family was left in an even worse state as Brosnan's mother did not have any skills to get a good job. While his mother went out to look for work in other towns Brosnan was left in the care of his grandparents. The only time that he got to be in the company of his mother was once a year and on a good year he saw her two times. Brosnan was educated in a catholic school that was headed by Christian Brothers. His time at the institution was tough and he often did not get along with the teachings that were given. Despite this he remained in the Catholic faith and at one point in his childhood he served the church as an altar boy.Later on he moved with his mother to London where he hoped that life would be different. Things however turned out different for Brosnan as his new schoolmates racially discriminated against him. At the age of 16 he gave up and decided to leave school all together. With no solid skills on any kind of job, Brosnan tried out several odd jobs before he returned to school at the Central Saint Martin's College of Art and Design in London in the hope of studying to be a painter. Brosnan joined the Drama Centre in London where he performed for a while before realising that his true passion was in performing. He continued with his studies and on graduating he took up a job writing scripts for different plays.In the early 80's Brosnan ventured into the big screens and he was seen in productions like 1980's The Long Good Friday and 1982's Remington Steele. As a growing actor Brosnan realised that success could be found in the Hollywood film scene so he moved to the U.S to pursue a better career. This was a good choice because it is there that he was able to land roles in films like Death train from 1993 and Night Watch from 1995.Brosnan's popularity rose between 1995 and 2004 when he was signed to appear in four films from the Bond series. In 2005, the James Bond role was transferred from the actor to Daniel Craig. Brosnan continues to be one of the highest earning stars in Hollywood he has been seen in more than 30 films throughout his career.

Besides its really not surprising at all that those who take issue with the ACA would be waiting for the slightest issue to crop up so that they could hoist it up and laud it as proof that the ACA is doomed to failure.

Could it be that you are just mad that me putting forth an example of what is going on with the ACA website isn't abnormal kinda sort takes the bite out of your argument.

Also I am not making excuses. I am just trying to enlighten those that would take this issue and blow its significance way the he11 out of proportion.
I am not defending the ACA either.

This forum topic is undoubtedly about the website problems. Which is technical in nature. I brought up game launch issues because they have also had technical issues during their initial rollout.
Given the track record of things like this happening it is no surprise to me that there are technical issues related to the rollout of the ACA.

The thing I doubt you two realize is that the problems with the ACA website isn't without precedent.
Being a gamer this isn't anything strange to me.
I've seen plenty of launch day glitches with online games. Some glitches take awhile to fix. Heck some games that run fine for most of the time can be brought to almost a standstill because so many people are loading down the servers.
Just look at the SimCity launch debacle.

ColoradoAvalanche.com is profiling some of the draft-eligible prospects leading up to the 2014 NHL Draft in Philadelphia on June 27-28. Next up is Roland McKeown, the No. 27-ranked North American skater in NHL Central Scouting's final rankings.
Kingston Frontenacs defenseman Roland McKeown is used to being around top-end talent on and off the ice.
The Frontenacs, run by general manager and former NHL player Doug Gilmour, are looking to become the first junior team to have three players selected in the first round of the NHL Draft since the Saint John Sea Dogs in 2011. Center Sam Bennett is likely a lock to go in the first five picks, and fellow Kingston teammates McKeown and Spencer Watson are both considered top 60 prospects by NHL Central Scouting and could go early in this year's draft as well.
McKeown said his 27th overall ranking among North American skaters is gratifying, but it is also an incentive to get better.
"It's an honor to be on the list, but it is motivation to move up," he said to NHL.com about Central Scouting's final rankings.
An honor? Yes, but the 6-foot-1, 195-pound, right-shot defenseman is not satisfied with his place among the other draft prospects.
"You see who's in front of you, and you want to be the best you can be," McKeown said. "So I think moving up is definitely a goal."
McKeown is no stranger to having big names in front of him. He was the second-overall pick in the 2012 Ontario Hockey League Draft, selected after Connor McDavid went to the Erie Otters. McDavid is considered one of the top prospects for the 2015 NHL Draft.
In his first year with Kingston in 2012-13, McKeown was named to the OHL's All-Rookie First Team and contributed 29 points (seven goals and 22 assists) in 61 games. He would also earn gold medals with Canada at the Under-18 World Championship in Sochi and the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament.
During his second season with Kingston, the D-man set career highs across the board. His 43 points (11 goals and 32 assists) were good enough for top 15 among OHL defensemen.
McKeown attributes his improvements this past season to added strength.
"I did feel stronger this year," McKeown said. "You could say I'm better defensively, but I think that comes back to the strength part of it. I'm able to get on forwards a lot more and break up the ice quicker because I'm stronger."
His coach, former NHL defenseman Todd Gill, said he believes the young defenseman is discovering when to pick and choose his spots, and that has led to more offensive output from him.
"Roland is a guy who logs a lot of minutes for us every game and plays in every situation," said Gill to the Kingston Region. "When you are logging those minutes, you can't just use your legs to create chances. You need to use your mind, too, and he is doing that."
Central Scouting's David Gregory agrees with Gill on his assessment of McKeown's all-around game.
"I love this kid… he can play offensively and move the puck and has a bomb of a shot," Gregory said. "When defending you, he presents himself as a big, strong and mobile guy. He'll push guys to the side; he's a legitimate top prospect."
In a draft that features a plethora of talented players, McKeown's growth and defensive abilities have put him in position to be one of the first defensemen selected on June 27.

Legislative Branch (Congress)
Bicameral Structure of Congress
- Congress has two chambers: Senate and House of Representatives
- Senate is smaller; each state has two senators
- House is larger; each state has a number of representatives proportional to its population
- Founding Fathers chose bicameralism for historical, theoretical, and practical reasons
The Constitution created a bicameral national legislature—that is, a Congress composed of two separate chambers, the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The Senate, sometimes called "the upper house," is smaller (currently 100 seats) and its members serve longer terms (six years). Each state, no matter how large or small, has equal representation (two seats each) in the Senate.
The House of Representatives, a.k.a. "the lower house," is much larger (currently 435 seats) and its members serve much shorter terms (two years). Representation in the House is proportional to population, so larger states receive many more seats than do smaller states.
Both houses have certain unique powers and responsibilities, but for the most part, the House and Senate work in parallel. That is to say, senators and congressmen perform broadly similar functions in the national government. Both houses have to pass any piece of proposed legislation for it to become law. The House and the Senate are arguably redundant institutions.
Why, then, did the Constitution create a bicameral legislature? Why not merge the House and Senate into a single unicameral legislative body?
There are three main reasons.
The first was a matter of historical precedent. While the American colonists had rebelled against British rule in the Revolutionary War, they still drew many of their ideas about government from their colonial experience as British subjects. And the British Parliament had two houses—an upper chamber, the House of Lords, filled with representatives of the aristocracy, and a lower chamber, the House of Commons, filled with representatives of the ordinary people. That example shaped the thinking of the Constitution's framers.
The second was more theoretical. The framers' emphasis on the idea of checks and balances led them to be suspicious that a unicameral legislature might consolidate too much power in one institution. By dividing legislative power between the House and the Senate, the two chambers would serve as checks against each other's authority, theoretically preventing either from ever gaining tyrannical power.
The third, and by far the most important, was a matter of practical politics. The Constitutional Convention included delegates from twelve of the original thirteen states. (Rhode Island boycotted the whole thing.) Those delegates came from small states and large states. The small states, afraid of losing influence in the new government, demanded that representation in Congress be awarded on an equal basis to all states, no matter how large or small. But the large states insisted, no less forcefully, that representation should be based on population; since larger states had more voters, they ought to have more votes in Congress, too. This fierce dispute over representation dragged on throughout the summer of 1787, threatening to derail the entire Constitutional Convention. But a bicameral legislature provided the perfect opportunity for compromise—in fact, for "The Great Compromise." Small states got their equal representation in the Senate, large states got their proportional representation in the House, and everyone went home happy.
But was "The Great Compromise" really so great? If the first principle of democracy is "one person, one vote," then how democratic is the United States Senate? Today, the largest state (California, home to more than 36.5 million people) has a population about 73 times larger than the smallest state (Wyoming, home to just over 500,000). But the two states' representation in the Senate is equal—two seats each. That arguably means that an individual voter from Wyoming is worth 73 times as much as any one Californian. Is that fair? Is that democratic? (Your answer to that question will probably depend on whether you live in Cheyenne or San Francisco.) On the one hand, the current system does ensure that places like Wyoming aren't entirely ignored in our national politics. On the other hand, it hardly seems fair to deny Californians (and Texans, New Yorkers, and residents of other large states) the right to "one person, one vote."
Whatever you think about the justice of equal representation in the Senate, the system is here to stay. Article V of the Constitution guarantees that no state can ever be stripped of its equal representation in the Senate without giving its consent...and Wyoming is no more likely to agree to that now than the small states were back in 1787.
So if you don't like the current setup, maybe you should just move to Canada. Or Wyoming.

The recession has led to a steady increase in over-the-counter medicine sales, but private-label brands are enjoying most of the benefit
When struck with coughs, colds or the flu, shoppers are becoming more likely to seek advice from their supermarket pharmacist and turn to over-the-counter remedies for relief. The reasons are straightforward. In-store clinics have become more prevalent. And, the prolonged recession has caused many people to lose their health insurance, and led many others to avoid copays for doctor's visits and prescription drugs for less serious illnesses.

On and off the air for Wednesday night's Comcast show, Bob Myers and Jerry West told each other and told everybody nearby that they're loving the energy of the Warriors' draft room.
It's lively. There's strong, good and continuous debate. That seems beyond question.
Everybody has an opinion -- I would imagine from Joe Lacob to Myers to West to Kirk Lacob to Travis Schlenk and maybe to the scouts and the coaches.
I asked West: Is there any kind of consensus forming in there?
West said that, through the discussions, the Warriors have pretty much settled on "two or three" players that they would take if they get to the Golden State's No. 7 slot.
And West suggested that if those players are all gone, the Warriors have the option to trade down to recoup multiple players.
West also said that at No. 7, the Warriors need a player who can help immediately, that they can't wait around for a couple years for somebody to develop. And he said that first and foremost, the team needs and will add toughness in this draft.
That isn't too difficult to decipher, because it all points away from Connecticut big man Andre Drummond, who isn't ready to help right now and certainly isn't considered one of the tough, passionate guys in this draft.
Lacob might and probably will urge the draft room to give Drummond one more look if he's there at No. 7, but I expect the Warriors to either pass on him or take him and then trade him.
I don't expect them to have Drummond on their roster in October.
So who are the two or three guys West is referencing? I believe North Carolina's Harrison Barnes and Syracuse's Dion Waiters are two of them. Maybe the third is Weber State's Damian Lillard or, as Marcus Thompson II suggested earlier Wednesday, Duke's Austin Rivers.
But Lillard and Rivers are both straight-up point guards, and I don't know how much the Warriors want to go back down the road of wondering what this all means for Stephen Curry's future -- which would be a duplicate of the drafting of Curry and the immediate wondering about Monta Ellis' future.
And the "toughness" remark really sounds like a description of Waiters, a combo guard who I've heard is getting raves from opponent coaches and players during this process.
In fact, I was told that when asked about Waiters and Drummond, players and coaches who competed against both say Waiters is easily the superior talent and player.

by age 18 (minimum voting age), i think it is a reasonable expectation to think that everyone will have an id. the state has taken every possible angle to make this plan feasible. i support showing an id to vote.
Indiana provides IDs free of charge to people without driver's licenses. It also allows voters who lack photo ID's to cast a provisional ballot and then show up within 10 days at their county courthouse to produce identification or otherwise attest to their identity.
if someone isn't willing to go get a free id, i don't think they can complain about being left out of the voting process. i think all states should adopt this policy. (although i'm not going to hold my breath on my home state of massachusetts)

Americans were treated to nine commercials that featured a wide array of animals, including a hyena, leopard, woodchuck, bull, cockatoo, Capuchin monkey, chickens, frogs, snakes, horses and dogs. And while these ads placed many animals in comical situations, most advertisers made sure that Certified Animal Safety Representatives™ from American Humane's Film & TV Unit were on the set to ensure that the animals were safe during filming.
The advertisements monitored by American Humane included spots from some of the biggest brands in the world, including Coca-Cola, Budweiser and Volkswagen. In each case, the advertiser worked closely with American Humane's highly trained safety representatives to ensure the safety of the animals in the production.
"Thanks to decades of leadership from American Humane, film and television directors, producers and actors rely on American Humane to ensure the safety of animal actors," said Karen Rosa, vice president of American Humane's Film & TV Unit in Los Angeles. "The fact that so many advertisers are calling on our services shows that across our society, there is recognition of the importance of the human-animal bond and the safety of animals."
Rosa noted that most TV networks will not air a commercial featuring an animal without American Humane's sign-off letter stating that the production did not harm any animals.
American Humane is a 133-year-old organization dedicated to preventing cruelty to children and animals. American Humane has exclusive authority to grant the "No Animals Were Harmed" end-credit disclaimer seen at the end of movies and television shows. All domestic productions working under the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA) agreements are required to inform American Humane when using animal actors.

Sending mass emails to customers and prospects has become a low-cost and increasingly popular method of distributing promotional information.

Our Wired Mail service provides you with a powerful tool kit to select recipients, measure speed and delivery performance, determine if the email was actually opened, and test the "call to action" suggested in the mail out.
