text: Well, I came home from a delightful weekend and heard from my roommate that many people came and saw this wondrous bird. It showed up throughout the weekend although relatively hit and miss as many visitors probably discovered. My roomie's last report was that the bird was observed and heard singing in the honey locust tree in front of the house. Awesome considering that I had never heard it utter a peep. She also said she truly enjoyed interacting with as many visitors as she could and loves you guys. You are all so considerate, enthusiastic, passionate and patient. She said she had never met so many simply nice people. So thank you all for being you! Today, Monday, I did not see or hear hide nor hair of our feathered beastie. I patiently paced my house, window to window, had delightful visitors and they too saw nary a sign nor trace of our displaced rainbow wonder. I am feeling traces of sadness if indeed this miracle bird has moved on and that my yard might not be blessed with it's presence and grace again. But, more than sadness I am feeling an honor and gratitude that I got to share space with this bird and had the joy of sharing food, water and comfort with it. A experience like this puts all my career working and efforts, my daily misdirections, my judgments and assessments of myself and others into corrected illumination. This bird in all its perfection did not struggle to survive, make mistakes, blow an assignment, or fail in any way - even in its apparent straying from its normal abode it was a gift and gave simply by being what and who it is. I look at everything that enters my life, my space, my awareness as a mirror to something in me that I get to be reminded of and to embrace or give up - whatever works for me having the life I say is worth living. This bird gave me a boat load of mirrors in the ease with which it survives and thrives. I know that if it left here, it is likely moving on to what will fulfill its life. What do I get to let go of to move on to mine? Thank you little bird and thank you for all of you who I got to meet as a result of the bird's visit. There are no accidents. I will keep posting if any sign of the bird shows up. Thomas Maiello Spring Lake Park

CORVALLIS — The continuing inclement weather conditions in Louisiana and neighboring states due to Hurricane Isaac has prompted school officials at Oregon State University and Nicholls State University to postpone Saturday's season opener at Reser Stadium.
"It became apparent as the day progressed that the safety of Nicholls State's team and personnel was a primary concern," OSU Director of Athletics Bob De Carolis said. "Many of the Colonels' student-athletes and staff are with family and there is a deepening concern about their safety in returning to campus. We will continue to discuss the possibility of rescheduling the game."
The bye weeks for both teams do not match as Oregon State is off Sept. 15 and Nicholls State is idle Sept. 29. Officials at both schools will consider scheduling options in the near future with the possibility of playing the weekend of Dec. 1, providing OSU is not in the Pac-12 Championship Game or Nicholls State is not in the Football Championship Series playoffs.
This is the first postponed OSU football game since Sept. 15, 2001, when the Beavers' home game with Montana State was cancelled due to 9/11. OSU later scheduled a Nov. 17, 2001 contest at home vs. Northern Arizona.
The Beavers will now open the season Saturday, Sept. 8, against the Wisconsin Badgers in Corvallis at 1 p.m. in game being televised by FX.

Old English settan, of Germanic origin; related to Dutch zetten, German setzen, also to sit.
Old English settan is from a Germanic source and is related to Dutch zetten, German setzen, and English sit (Old English). Confusion between set and sit began as early as the 14th century from similarity of certain past forms and certain senses. Meanings branch into: 'cause to sit' (set them upon the camel's back); 'sink' (the sun has set); 'put in a definite place' (sleeves set into the shirt); 'appoint, establish' (set a boundary); 'arrange, adjust' (set a snare); 'place mentally' (set at naught); 'come into a settled condition' (her face set in a sulky stare); and 'cause to take a certain direction' (set our course at north north-east). The word for a group or collection is partly from Latin secta 'sect', and partly from set 'fix, place.'

Moelis Gets its Payday as Omnicom's Adviser on $17 Billion Deal
When Ken Moelis has been asked during the financial crisis when the investment banking model that finances big ticket deals with fat balance sheets would return to normal, he's said: "They're not getting it. This is normal."
"There's a whole generation of chief executives who think this investment banking model is all there is. But the aberration isn't what I am doing [with a pure advisory model]; the aberration was 2001 to 2007, when the credit bubble distorted an independent advisory model that had worked for 250 years," said Mr. Moelis, founder and chief executive of Moelis & Co. in an interview with sister title Financial News last October.
Mr. Moelis said relationships, not balance sheets, were at the heart of the independent model.
Today that model came into sharp focus after Moelis & Co. was one of just two advisers selected to steer the biggest advertising merger in history. It has landed a role advising Omnicom on its $17.3 billion merger with rival Publicis opposite Rothschild, which is advising France's Publicis.
Analysts at Panmure Gordon & Co today said the transaction would provide a "huge bonus pool for the investment bankers involved".
The deals helps Moelis & Co. seal its march up the global M&A rankings. In 2009 for January to July 29, it ranked 62nd with 15 deals worth $3.6 billion. In the tables for the same period now, it's 11th, with 50 deals worth $97 billion, according to Dealogic data. (Rothschild was 12th in 2009 and is 12th this year too.)
It's also Moelis & Co.'s biggest mandate involving a European company since 2008, when it advised Anheuser Busch on its purchase of Belgium's InBev, valued at $59.6 billion.
The Moelis & Co team advising Omnicom comprises Geoff Austin and Benoit Renon, both managing directors in London, James Butcher, also based in London, as well as Mr. Moelis and US-based managing director Andrew Haber.
The Omnicom/Publicis deal also extends a strong run for independent advisory houses in the technology, media and telecoms sector; US advisory firm LionTree Advisers worked on Liberty Global's $25.1 billion deal for Virgin Media, while Perella Weinberg is advising Kabel Deutschland on its pending sale to Vodafone.
Last week, Centerview Partners and Allen & Co were named as advisers on the separation of computer games maker Activision Blizzard from Vivendi.

i also use vodafone umts and i'm not very happy about this lossy
'compression feature'. espacially during presentations it's not very
nice to press always a key combination according
"Shift+R improves the quality of this image.
CTRL+F5 reloads the whole page."
to get the real content. vodafone isn't able to / won't deactivate it.
so i have to do it myself. i studied the script bmi.js and found out
that it appends the string "bmi_orig_img" to images for the uncomressed
ones. that means there is a transparent proxy in the vodafone net which
filters all jpeg and gif images from a port 80 (http) (maybe some other
ports too: 8080, etc.) and compresses it with a data lossy encoding. :(
the script changes the url of the image to get the uncompressed version.
if the user presses a key combination (s.a.) for example the url
changes to
and for images generted dynamically
changes to
so, to get instantly the uncompressed images i have to change the html
source (according above) before loading the images. for example in a
local modified proxy or the browser.
any ideas how to do this?
thanks, jan

DesignWare ARC nSIM: Speed, Accuracy and Visibility
nSIM Product Released
Synopsys has officially announced and released nSIM - an Instruction Accurate simulator for the DesignWare ARC processor family.
"It uses state-of-the-art JIT compilation technology that reduces compilation overhead and leverages multi-core host capabilities to increase simulation speed. The JIT compilation engine is integrated with a powerful and very efficient micro-architectural performance model of the processor pipeline. This enables a near cycle-accuracy of up to 95% (compared to RTL) to be achieved at high simulation speeds of 25 MIPS, and allows high-speed architectural exploration and system profiling. "
Parallel Trace Based JIT in Action

Scalable Multi-Core Simulation Paper Accepted
Our paper titled Scalable Multi-Core Simulation Using Parallel Dynamic Binary Translation and written by O.Almer, I.Böhm, T.Edler von Koch, B.Franke, S.Kyle, V.Seeker, C.Thompson and N.Topham, was accepted at the International Symposium on Systems, Architectures, Modeling, and Simulation (SAMOS'11) in Samos, Greece.
In this work we have made advances in the area of multi-core simulation, exploiting and extending our novel trace-based parallel JIT compilation system. For the first time we were able to demonstrate that architectural simulation of multi-core systems can be extremely fast, efficient, and scalable.
Paper Accepted at PLDI'11
Our paper titled Generalized Just-In-Time Trace Compilation using a Parallel Task Farm in a Dynamic Binary Translator and written by I.Böhm, T.Edler von Koch, S. Kyle, B.Franke and N.Topham, was accepted at the ACM SIGPLAN 2011 Conference on Programming Language Design and Implementation (PLDI'11) in San Jose, CA.
In this work we have made advances in the area of trace-based compilation by proposing a novel tracing strategy, namely interval based tracing. Another significant advancement is the design and implementation of a truly parallel JIT compilation system based on the task farm design pattern. This parallel JIT compilation system is the first of its kind to successfully exploit the parallelism available on today's multi-core architectures, and to exploit the parallelism exposed by our novel tracing strategy.
EnCore Castle Processor Fully Functional!
The second silicon implementation of an extended EnCore processor is a test-chip codenamed Castle, fabricated in a generic 90nm CMOS process. All of the EnCore test chips are named after hills in Edinburgh; Castle is named after the rock on which Edinburgh Castle is built.
The Castle chip contains an extended version of the EnCore processor, together with a 32KB 4-way set-associative Instruction Cache, and a 32KB 4-way set-associative Data Cache. It is embedded within a system-on-chip (SoC) design that provides a generic 32-bit memory interface, as well as interrupt, clocks and reset signals.
Paper accepted for SAMOS'10
Our paper about Cycle-Accurate Performance Modelling in an Ultra-Fast Just-In-Time Dynamic Binary Translation Instruction Set Simulator got accepted for SAMOS 2010.
Here is the abstract:
"Instruction set simulators (ISS) are vital tools for compiler and processor architecture design space exploration and verification. State-of-the-art simulators using just-in-time (JIT) dynamic binary translation (DBT) techniques are able to simulate complex embedded processors at speeds above 500 MIPS. However, these functional ISS do not provide microarchitectural observability. In contrast, low-level cycle-accurate ISS are too slow to simulate full-scale applications, forcing developers to revert to FPGA-based simulations. In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to run ultra-high speed cycle-accurate instruction set simulations surpassing FPGA-based simulation speeds. We extend the JIT DBT engine of our ISS and augment JIT generated code with a verified cycle-accurate processor model. Our approach can model any microarchitectural configuration, does not rely on prior profiling, instrumentation, or compilation, and works for all binaries targeting a state-of-the-art embedded processor implementing the ARCompact instruction set architecture (ISA). We achieve simulation speeds up to 63 MIPS on a standard x86 desktop computer, whilst the average cycle-count deviation is less than 1.5 % for the industry standard EEMBC and CoreMark benchmark suites."

Guardian Angelic Moral Police
[co-authored with Bobby Kunhu]
Of all the different kinds of moral police that inhabit the land of Kerala, the species that should be feared most must probably be the 'Guardian Angelic Moral Police'(GAMP). The GAMP is just as potent as the Goonda-Activist Moral Police (G-AMP) but in striking contrast to the latter, the former thrives on the surface precisely on values dear to the Malayalee middle-class – the sanction of law, paternal concern, state protectionism of women as the 'weaker sex'. This makes it much harder for victims of moral policing to fight off their intrusions all of which are couched in the language of benevolent concern. We just got a taste of that from the Hon. Justice V R Krishna Iyer with his controversial Women's Code Bill, but since so much of his language is such antiquated hyperbole, it was impossible to take any of it seriously. However, it appears that the judiciary in Kerala has more sophisticated GAMP, and recent orders passed by the bench consisting of Justices R Basant and M C Hari Rani of the Kerala High Court seem to leave no reason for scepticism.
How is one to describe Justice R. Basant? Well, he is a Permanent Judge at the Kerala High Court, but to many of us, he is better-known for his call for a more humane legal dispensation. That 'humane' in Kerala's context can also mean a complete disregard for the personal choices made by full-grown, well-educated adults with skills that command high demand in the global job market is, however, what comes through the orders mentioned above. The case, which appeared before the bench consisting of Justices R Basant and M C Hari Rani, involved a 22-year-old female nursing student who had just completed her course and was about to appear for her exams, who decided to marry a 30-year-old man of another religious community. In response to this, a habeas corpus petition was filed by her father, which alleged that she was being illegally detained by her chosen fiancé. When the case was called the young couple appeared and the young woman clarified that she was not being held against her will and that she was in love and wished to marry the young man who had been accused of detaining her. They had filed an application to register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act. The judges remark in the order (W.P (CRL )No. 453 of 2011) that this is a case in which "the parties must try to settle the dispute harmoniously". According to the order, the parents continued to argue that their daughter was not taking an "informed and voluntary decision" though it does not mention the grounds they provided for this. Clearly, given that the judges do not seem to have demanded the grounds, there seems to be a shared understanding between the parents and the judges : if a couple chooses each other without prior parental supervision then there is a prima facie case to be made to suppose that their decision — especially that of the woman — is ill-informed and involuntary.
It is clear that there are no other grounds. For example, the average ages of marriage for women and men in Kerala are 22 and 28 respectively; the couple in question are not 'young' by that standard widely respected by, precisely, the state. It is also evident that at least one partner, the woman, is capable of earning a salary once she gets her degree — and she is more likely to strive towards it if she chooses to stay in a relationship not supported by relatives, than in one which offers the spurious sense of security that arranged marriages conjure up. And I do not think it necessary to produce evidence for the spuriousness of this security — one just has to take a look at the data on dowry-related domestic violence. Thirdly, the couple applied to register their marriage under the Special Marriage Act, and so no cry of 'Love Jihad' can be made (ah, surely many of our leer-ned jeer-nalists are disappointed). The parents demanded that they be given time to "counsel, advise, and guide" their daughter and agreed that they would accept the marriage if she stuck to her decision. And strangely enough, the judges probably outdid the expectations of the parents –they ordered that the woman should accompany her parents to their home till the next date of posting. The home, it appears, had been transformed into an implicit detention centre — since the order states that only the parents and the sister of the woman in question are to stay there and no visitors are to be allowed to reside and interact with her. Her chosen fiancé was to speak with her only over the telephone and that too, between exactly 4 and 5 PM every day. That the order was guardian angelic – that it did not sanction physical coercion by parents — is evident in that it also specified that "no medicine was to be administered" to her during this stay and that the parents were not to "harass and torment" her.
It is really worrying that the court seems to think in this case that it needs to take into account and prevent only physical coercion. Despite the sophisticated understanding of domestic violence in the law that takes into account many forms other than physical violence, here, it appears that the possibility of parents exerting emotional blackmail is not considered at all. It is very common for parents to issue threats of suicide to recalcitrant offspring; there have also been cases in which veiled threats against the fiancé and other loved ones have been made. How is it that the honorable judges do not consider these — and especially in the light of the fact that they have ordered the young woman to be kept in isolation, which, it may be argued,could well be blatantly overstepping its mandate in a writ of habeas corpus?
What followed, then, was only the most predictable result. In the next hearing on the matter, the young woman, who underwent this isolation, declared that she wished to accompany her parents! In the following order dated 18 Oct 2011 the judges express their "surprise" at her decision, but what is there, really, to be surprised? What if she was emotionally blackmailed, and how can we ever be sure she wasn't? Very predictable reactions from parents could take precisely these forms : statements like 'We will kill ourselves — and you can live happily thereafter'; 'do you want to be happy after ruining all your sister's prospects?' etc .etc. are all very potent under given circumstances. Indeed, is this not a total farce in which the judges merely act as if they are dispensing justice while they actually perpetuate, deliberately or not, the commingled evil of moral policing and the policing of the boundaries of caste and community? In this instance of GAMP, it is of course the halo of the GA that renders the MP invisible.
And most shocking of all are today's developments. While we yet to see the order issued, very reliable sources tell us that the case was posted for today and the young woman declared in court that she wanted to return to her fiancé! Well, I suppose most predictably but utterly inexplicably, the court decided that this could not be allowed – it ordered her to stay in a government guest house for a week after which it would hear the case again! It remains to be seen if the new space of implicit confinement wreaks the miracle that her parents desire!
A host of angry hysterical responses can well be expected in defense of these efforts of the court: for example, there may be the argument that 'love marriages' are fragile and 'immature' people shouldn't be allowed to blunder into and out of marriages. Now, this confirms patriarchal elitist commonsense that discriminates against the young, but actually stands on feet of clay. First, it may be true that people who marry for love may be more willing to part in case of disappointment because they have fewer community and material ties that bind them down. But there is no evidence that arranged marriages are internally balanced and that forced marital stability is conducive to a more balanced society. Indeed, there is plenty of evidence that internally unbalanced marriages are toxic, and end up destroying not only the partners but also the children. So there is no reason why courts should work in such convoluted — and indeed illegal –ways to ensure that love marriages do not happen. Secondly, specific to Kerala is the fact that in this post-demographic-transition context in which we live in, children are no longer insurance against old age but much more trophies to be won or lost in the desperate struggle to either retain or achieve upward mobility and community identity! It is utterly worrying that the court should appear to pander to such irrational –and indeed dehumanizing– sensibilities of an ageing society which violate the rights of children, and even fully adult children! Thirdly, what shapes our understanding of 'immature'? What sort of a society is this, which treats a 22 year-old-woman as immature when the law allows her adulthood earlier? What sort of a society is this, in which it is blindly accepted that a 22 year-old-woman can be 'misled' by her chosen fiancé, but won't suffer the same experience at the hands of people well-placed to exert emotional blackmail and veiled threats on her? And what to say of the judiciary that has ostensibly lost all sense of its own distinct location and mandate, above the cacophony and confusion thrown up by such uncivil society?
Indeed, there used to be clear-sighted people in Kerala who could cut through such nonsense: for instance, one of the earliest feminist voices in Kerala, K Saraswati Amma. Reflecting in the 1950s on the need for balanced and steady marital relationships, Amma, who was deeply sceptical of the utility of romantic love to this end, concluded that for enduring marital relationships to happen we would have to allow a long period before marriage in which women and men could practice a version of 'flirting'! She used the English word, remarking that there was no adequate Malayalam expression that could capture the nuance she wished to convey. 'Flirting' was not romantic love. According to her, the latter was not desirable because it disabled rational consideration before entering into relationships meant to last long. 'Flirting' means that you hover around the person[s] you are interested in, taking pleasure but never leaving your rational mind so that you would in the end make a reasoned decision about allowing the relationship to grow or not. But, as she noted, unfortunately and indeed ironically, romantic love was celebrated in modern Kerala while 'flirting' was totally disapproved as 'immoral' when it was actually the only way to ensure some rational expectation of a long-lasting marriage! Little surprise, she remarked, that people jumped into relationships at the first flush of romantic love simply because they were not allowed to 'flirt' long enough to discover whether the relationship was worthwhile or not! Hence the many failed and internally-rotting marriages!
If one may reasonably hope that Justices Basant and Hari Rani are neither pandering directly and consciously to community interests nor succumbing to the dehumanizing thrusts of an ageing society, but implicitly reiterating the now-common fear that young people choosing to cross social boundaries are 'immature', then it seems necessary to extend Saraswati Amma's views than half-a-century after she put them forward. Instead of the alleged immaturity of young people who choose partners on their own, it is the immaturity of a society that does not allow them the time, the space, the resources, and the peace of mind to make rational choices of partners that ought to be blamed.But what really intrigues us is this: what would have been the reaction of this very same court, had the young woman declared that she was pregnant and past the fourth month, but actually wanted to go back to her parents?

Excellent piece, loved it!
Inasu Thalak/ poet,writer/. Paris permalinkOctober 26, 2011 5:12 AM
True, the judges did not do "justice" to their professed functions! But probably they wanted
to promote communal harmony! Who knows? What is really beyond comrehension is : how the judges can order a "detention at home" for the girl. She is not minor. There is a deeper problem tormenting th so called young "educated professionals" of the state. They dare not contradict their parents and elders of their "tribe" (meaning caste or community) Caste and community "belonging" is searched by the young themselves to avoid all confrontations and self-affirmation vis-a-vis their elders. It is flagrantly evident even
among the NRI Keralites. If I search for a mere Malayalee partner (meaning sharing a common language and some aspects of culture) no chance of finding one. In Kerala one is
not a secularized citizen in any real sense of that term. Of course we have debates on Women's Enpowement, modern and postmodern ideas, liberating ideologies of the Left/ Socialistic variety- but when it comes to beget and multiply, it should be within one's own community. May be the covert rivalry and animosity that exists among the three major religious groups contribute to this state of affairs! But, finally it is high time women in the state opt for intercaste and interreligious unions with audace, especially those who are edu-cated and lucratively employed.Until that happens, judges will be victims of an unseen social pressure. Cannot forget that most of them are for the beaten track, albeit, statusquo!

Why such orders have not been challenged. The girl could have challenged the orders of the High Court as that interferes with her personal liberty and right to move freely and interact with others. She/her advocate could have got a stay on that order and could have argued that it violates her fundamental rights.
Lekshmy permalinkOctober 26, 2011 5:41 PM
Excellent insight. The lack of accountability of judges is making them deliver 'panchayathi raj' model compromise orders based on extraneous considerations rather than law. Same set of facts are producing contradictory orders from High Court of Kerala based on not-so good reasons…the faster it is rectified the better. This is probably the only HC which has got ample time to micro manage a temple! No matter how great Sabarimala Temple is, to dedicate a bench for deciding day to day administration and even sundry construction is nothing buy aggrandisement….this approach will only ruin the judiciary. Populism and sexist patronage style is not expected of an enlightened judiciary.
Seema Duhan permalinkOctober 27, 2011 11:06 AM
It resonates so strongly across the cultures. Wish, we would have had 'grown up and mature parents'. the problem with the judges had been that it was conveninient to get into the shoes of parents and promoting it as 'humaneness'. they could easily identify with their parental self. Hats of the the couple which is so much in love to stand by it.
November 6, 2011 11:47 PM
I certainly think the judiciary was trying to do something more than what it was supposed to do. My point is on the other aspect of the whole issue. Why did the parent think that their daughter was immature. Or at least they could sell that argument to the judiciary and the general public.
In my view we don't develop this quality of being responsible for one self. All important decisions of our life are not made by us. Starting with education, marriage and so on. It is too much parenting.

well the fact that the order of the high court on the acquittal of the accused in the suryanelli case is another stark reminder of the justice system in kerala….
Bismi permalinkFebruary 9, 2013 11:09 PM
The same justice basant was caught on camera recently voicing really immature and outrageous comments about the suryanelli case! He obviously does not know the first thing about law, or morality. How did this stupid guy get to this high a post inspite of being such an ignoramus?

[caption id="attachment_2298" align="alignleft" width="300" caption="Beerakai chutney"][/caption]
Ridge gourd or Turai or Beerakaya (in India) are all same names of one vegetable commonly known as Chinese Okra in other parts of the countries. This vegetable is popular in Asia and Africa. This vegetable is believed to have originated in the Arabic desserts, and has spread throughout the world. It is a dark green, ridged vegetable having white pulp with white seeds embedded in spongy flesh. All species of ridge gourd/loofah are edible, but they must be consumed before they mature, or else they will be too woody and fibrous to eat.
Beerakai chutney is the sweetness of the ridge gourd perfectly complimented with the hot and sour flavors of onions, chillies and tamarind. To give a nutty flavor you can also add Cashew nuts and roasted channa dal. The Chutney will be a perfect side dish with hot rice, roti, chapatti etc.
This chutney is absolutely delicious. This vegetable chutney is eaten with plain hot rice drizzled with a few drops of melted ghee and makes a meal by itself. Turai or ridge gourd is cooked with onions, tempered with mustard, green chillies, garlic and curry leaves and then puréed to get smooth and tasty chutney. In South Indians, the peel of the ridge gourd is also used for making chutney. To enhance the flavors, gingelly or sesame oil is used. The key ingredient to make great turai chutney is adding extra green chillies because it compliments the spongy sweetness of the ridge gourd.
To prepare the turai chutney, cut turai into small pieces, add oil in a hot pan, fry all ingredients (tamarind, green chillies, garlic, cashew, roasted channa dal) one after the other over a low flame and keep aside. Add little mustard, cumin, chopped onions (allow to cook till they become transparent) and then add the ridge gourd pieces and allow to cook. Cook till they become soft and mashy. Mix this to the spices mixture and blend them together in a blender to the right consistency. Shift the chutney into a bowl. Add salt to taste and mix well. Temper the chutney with some mustard seeds, cumin, dry red chillies, urad dal and curry leaves. In this chutney, garlic is optional. To prepare this chutney it hardly takes few minutes as the ridge gourd is soft and spongy.
Ridge gourd is awesome vegetable as it is low in saturated fats, cholesterol, and high in dietary fibre, vitamin C, Riboflavin, Zinc and Iron. This versatile vegetable is mildly sweet in taste, which adds a new dimension to the vegetarian cuisine, but sometimes it does taste very bitter. So before you make the chutney do taste a small piece of ridge gourd. Beerakai is used a lot in Andhra cooking. They cook it with dal or make curry also with it. Most common dishes made with beerakai are (beerakai with senagapappu, tomato, potatoes, stuffed with home made curry powder, onion masala), pappu (cooked with lentils), pachadi and also chutney with the peels.
Ridge gourd has many health benefits and nutritional values like maintaining optimum health, being low in saturated fat and cholesterol and high in dietary fiber, it becomes the ideal choice for anyone who wishes to lose some weight quickly. It also has very high water content, making it a very low calorie vegetable (only 60 calories in 100 gm of cooked ridge gourd). The juice prepared from ridge gourd is a natural remedy for jaundice. It also helps as blood purifier, lowers the blood sugar levels and is good for stomach.

The ransacking of two local primary schools two weeks ago has been met with widespread disgust, with the principals of both schools condemning the acts as a "violation" and "an attack on children."
St. Patrick's Primary School in The Meadow in Newry and St. Malachy's Primary School in Whitecross became victims to the mindless attacks that took place on Tuesday, January 15.
Entry was forced into both schools and the main offices were completely ransacked, presumably in a search for cash or valuables. The perpetrators left empty-handed as all schools are now cash-free environments, but not before causing serious damage to the premises.

Fifty people were rescued by the R.N.L.I. in 2012 in local waters, according to figures released last Tuesday.
The figures released by the organization also show that Enniskillen's station had the second highest number of "launches" – 46 – in which 50 people were rescued, over the whole of Northern Ireland.
Enniskillen operates two bases on Upper and Lower Lough Erne, which is the North's only inland R.N.L.I. station.
One of the busiest periods here was during August, where the Enniskillen R.N.L.I. rescued 19 sailors in just three days.

A woman, who denies murdering her former boyfriend outside her Salthill apartment by stabbing him 18 times with a kitchen knife, rang Gardaí (police) seconds later telling them: "I've stabbed the bastard."
Maura Thornton (31), from Inverin, Connemara, denies the murder of Kevin Joyce (59) at an apartment at 183 Upper Salthill, on July 31, 2011.
On the opening day of the murder trial at the Central Criminal Court sitting in Galway last Monday, Maura Thornton's mother, Breege Ridge Thornton (59), told the jury she saw her daughter take a black-handled knife from a kitchen drawer and go outside the apartment in a rage to where the deceased had been standing on a flat roof looking in the kitchen window.
Mrs. Ridge Thornton's partner, Brendan Lydon, said he followed the accused outside a few seconds later and while he didn't see her stab Joyce, he did see her standing over his still body with the knife in her hand.

The idea of telling the story of Daniel O'Connell, "The Liberator," on the silver screen was put to leading director Steven Spielberg and actor Daniel Day-Lewis when they attended the premiere of Spielberg's film Lincoln, in Dublin, two weekends ago.
The pair met Arts and Heritage Minister Jimmy Deenihan, who made the suggestion.
The Kerry-based minister, a long-time admirer of O'Connell, said afterwards he was hopeful his proposal might come to reality.
Mr. Deenihan also said Spielberg had heard about O'Connell — who was born at Carhan, Caherciveen, and lived in Derrynane House, also on the Ring of Kerry.

An Athy mother is too terrified to return to her home after it was broken into twice in three days.
Sabrina McMahon claims she has been threatened that her home in Pairc Brid will be firebombed if she returns to live there and says her house is now being used as a "drug den."
The house was first broken into sometime between midnight and noon on January 8, and, on that occasion, flat-screen televisions and a set of keys were taken. The burglars are understood to have returned to the property again three days later on January 11, when a radio cassette player and a check-book were stolen. It's understood that the keys stolen on January 8 were used to access the house on January 11.
