Both The Canterbury Tales and Troilus and Cressida are presented complete in this anthology, in fresh modern translations by Theodore Morrison that convey both the gravity and gaiety of the Middle English originals. The Portable Chaucer also contains selections from The Book of Duchess, The House of Fame, The Bird's Parliament, and The Legend of Good Women, together with short poems. Morrison's introduction is vital for its insights into Chaucer as man and artist, and as a product of the Middle Ages whose shrewdness, humor, and compassion have a wonderfully contemporary ring.

Do you feel fortunate to be a member of the UB faculty or staff?
Scott Weber does, and that's one of the reasons he gives to the university's annual fund.
The senior vice provost for academic affairs is chairing an effort to encourage more of his colleagues to join him in giving to the UB annual fund this year.
Weber would like to see UB strengthen its faculty and staff giving rates to better compare with those of its peer Association of American Universities (AAU) members, whose faculty/staff giving rates range from the single digits to 24.3 percent at the University of Virginia.
"Right now, we fall into the bottom third when stacked up against our AAU public peers," notes Weber, who says the faculty/staff giving rate in fiscal year 2013 was only 5 percent.
Given the sheer numbers of UB employees, Weber is confident the university can improve its giving rate this year.
With such a large faculty and staff — of approximately 9,500 members — UB is its own community, Weber points out, adding "That's bigger than some townships in Western New York."
Like every thriving community, UB considers its people as its most valuable asset.
"The faculty and staff drive UB's momentum and make our university stronger every day," Weber says, adding that several recent indicators demonstrate how their work has helped make UB a premier research university.
These include UB's recent rise — to 176 out of 400 — in the Times Education World University Rankings of the world's top research universities; UB's selection to lead a statewide effort to accelerate advances in genomic medicine; and the John R. Oishei Foundation awarding $5 million to support construction of the new UB medical school on the downtown Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
"These are just a few of the successful ventures that can be directly linked to hard work by our dedicated faculty and staff, who contribute daily their time and talents," Weber says.
The annual fund contributes to many UB-wide initiatives, as well as to academic programs and scholarships to help students complete their college educations, he says.
"Enrollment data shows us how important scholarships are to families; they often are the deal-breakers for students deciding which university to attend," he notes. "The annual fund also helps students with sudden financial trouble stay in school."
Weber understands that giving to UB is "a personal choice" for each faculty and staff member, but adds that some don't give because they haven't been asked to.
"That's why I'm asking all UB faculty and staff to join me this year and make a gift — in any amount — to the annual fund," he saya. "Your gifts will help us keep our university strong and competitive."
He adds that anyone can designate where their gift is used at UB by visiting the Giving to UB website for the list of schools, departments and programs the annual fund supports.
The important thing is to make a gift, he says.
"UB has given me a supportive community in which I have pursued my career. The annual fund is a chance to give something back. I hope the UB community will join me."

U.K. Runs Tax Deal Past Bolt
LONDON—The U.K. government is hoping to tempt Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt to race again in London this summer after granting a one-off tax exemption that has previously deterred the sprinter from competing in Britain.
Other than the Olympic Games, Mr. Bolt hasn't appeared in a race in Britain since 2009, citing stringent taxation laws which mean he would end up paying more in tax than he earns from competing.
But U.K. Treasury chief George Osborne has granted a one-off tax amnesty for this summer's London Grand Prix athletics event in the hope it will persuade Mr. Bolt and other stars to compete. Previous sporting events held in Britain, such as the UEFA Champions League soccer final and the Olympic Games, have had such amnesties written into their contracts, but experts say this is the first exemption made by a politician.
"The government is determined to do everything possible to secure the Olympic legacy and I am delighted to grant this exemption," Mr. Osborne said in a statement.
Mr. Bolt couldn't be reached for comment.
Under U.K. law, athletes are taxed on their annual income—including sponsorship deals—in proportion to the number of appearances they make in Britain. In practice, this means an athlete such as Mr. Bolt, who may race 10 times a year, would be taxed on 10% of his annual income. Mr. Bolt earned $20.3 million in the 12 months to June 2012, according to Forbes magazine estimates last year, meaning the appearance fee for any event in Britain would likely be eclipsed by his tax bill.
The U.K. Treasury has argued that athletes earn their sponsorship money through public appearances, but the system is significantly harsher than other jurisdictions around the world, where tax on foreign athletes is based on the number of days spent in country, or on the incremental income earned.
"We have one of the harshest systems," said Tina Riches, technical director at the Chartered Institute of Taxation, a U.K. industry body. "Big stars who have a significant amount of sponsorship income could end up paying more in tax to the U.K. than they could ever earn by actually coming here."
Mr. Bolt isn't the first athlete to decline an invitation to compete in Britain. Former world tennis No. 1 Rafael Nadal has restricted his appearances outside of the Wimbledon Championships, while Andre Agassi was ordered to pay a proportion of his sponsorship income after losing a U.K. court case in 2006.

Does daylight saving time cost Utahns money? Study says yes
By Jennifer Napier-Pearce
The Salt Lake Tribune
William Shughart abhors daylight saving time.
"I think it's a tyrannical action by the federal government," Shughart, a Utah State University finance professor who's written numerous articles on the topic, said in an interview this week.
Love it or loathe it, daylight saving time is on its way, with Americans (except for Arizonans and Hawaiians) springing clocks forward an hour at 2 a.m. Sunday.
The practice of setting clocks based on sunlight has had its critics since Congress started officially regulating time in 1966.
Some say the practice throws off body clocks, with one study citing an uptick in auto accidents the Monday following the time change and another showing a "significant" increase in heart attacks in the three days following springing forward.

Anglican Conversions? - Fr Gregory - 14-07-2008
At the risk (?) of provoking controversy, some comment seems appropriate on reactions to the decision by the Church of England to allow the ordination of women. This is a comment on the reactions to the decision, not to the decision. I don?t see it as the role of other churches to criticize decision of the Church of England, an autonomous body following its own decision-making processes.
An apparently large number of bishops and priests have announced that they will convert to the Roman Catholic Church in the wake of the decision. This is surely a very odd reaction. Presumably the day before the decision they were committed, at least minimally, to the faith and order of the Church of England. Presumably they were also happily receiving stipends from that Church. If they really held to the faith of the Roman Catholic Church they were engaged in fraud. They were also fundamentally in error as far as Rome is concerned. Roman Catholic doctrine is perfectly clear: it is necessary to submit to the Roman Pontiff. It is not possible, except in the strange fantasies of some Anglo-Catholics or Anglo-Papalists, to hold to the Roman Catholic faith while being out of communion with the Pope.
Apparently for the soon-to-be-converted Anglican bishops and priests some ?Road to Damascus? experience occurred after the final vote in Synod. Having been Anglican bishops and priests (and paid as such), they seem now to acknowledge that they are or ought to be Roman Catholic laymen, and are not now nor have they ever been bishops and priests (in Roman Catholic terms). Having undergone this dramatic change of heart and mind they seem not to have resigned, reverted to lay status and declined to accept any longer payments from the Church of England, but appear to be holding out for an acceptable offer from Rome. Can supposed conversion be based on negotiating a deal?
This is truly bizarre behaviour. Are these bishops and priests continuing to exercise the orders that Rome (and presumably now they) say they do not hold? How are their positions to be explained to those to whom they (apparently) continue to minister? ?I am your bishop/priest but I no longer believe in the validity of the church within which I am a bishop/priest and have converted, at least in anticipation, to a church which denies that I am a bishop/priest??
I can only imagine the response from my Bishop if I said: ?I?m thinking about becoming a Roman Catholic, but I?m waiting to see what deal the Vatican will offer me. If I don?t like the offer, I?ll stay with you. Meanwhile, I?ll just continue as a Priest in the British Orthodox Church.?
Just why Rome would accept converts on the basis that they reject the ordination of women as bishops remains a mystery. Either these men have always held to the faith as defined by Rome (in which case, what were they doing in the Church of England?) or they are simply Anglicans who reject the ordination of women. To what have they been converted?
There must be a warning here to the Orthodox. Some Anglicans opposed to the ordination of women have converted the Orthodoxy, particularly in the USA. Some have sought, as have some who converted to Roman Catholicism, to maintain their Anglican liturgy and ethos. Conversion to the Orthodox Faith ought to be a cause for joy and thanksgiving. However, it is conversion TO Orthodoxy, not conversion FROM something else. I am not Orthodox because I reject the Methodism of my childhood. I am Orthodox because I positively accept the Orthodox Faith.
I recently received an e-mail from a Church of England clergyman seeking advice on how to convert to Orthodoxy IF the ordination of women bishops proceeded. Objection to the ordination of women is not a basis upon which to become Orthodox. The Faith of Orthodoxy is not a single item: ?I do not believe in the ordination of women.? Conversion cannot be conditional: ?If the ordination of women goes ahead, I?ll convert; if not, I?ll stay? is hardly suggestive of a true conversion of heart and mind to the Orthodox Faith.
Those who are unhappy within the Church of England (or other churches of the Anglican Communion) may well seek homes elsewhere. They may, through the Grace of God, be drawn to Orthodoxy. However, true conversion to Orthodoxy cannot be negative. Orthodoxy cannot be some sort of refuge for disgruntled members of other churches.

anglican conversions? - kirk yacoub - 15-07-2008
Dear Father Gregory,
The way that you explain the "conversion" of Anglican clergy to Roman Catholicism is very apt, and it makes them seem like Premiership footballers.
I converted to the Syriac Orthodox Church not from Anglicanism, but from nothing, although, at school, I had experienced enough of what Anglicanism is to know that it did not and does not speak to me. My wife is a Roman Catholic and I know that not only is Anglicanism different to Roman Catholicism,but that Orthodoxy is even more different to both. In dealing with Anglicans I find that they haven't the faintest idea of what we are, and that often I am looked upon as an odd archaelogical specimen.Of course, if an Anglican truly wants to convert it cannot be on one issue, but on everything.
Kirk Yacoub
- John Charmley - 17-07-2008
Dear Fr. Gregory,
As a converted Anglican I can see where some of those who say they are thinking of converting are coming from; but I have not yet seen many of them go there!
Anglicanism is such a capacious Gladstone bag that it contains everyone from those who see that Church as the English version of Orthodoxy to those who would make Zwingli seem an Anglo-Catholic; indeed, one of my last few vicars held the view that there was much to be said for Buddhism and used to preach regularly on the subject. Now I'm all for a bit of understanding others, but four weeks running seemed a little much!
The pull of tradition and circumstance for those who do feel that Anglicanism is the English version of orthodoxy is a great one; as is the desire to be obedient to those set in authority above them. The fight to prevent their Church from being taken over by those who see it as purely Protestant is one of the things that has kept such people in the Anglican Church.
These things said, I would have to agree that the timing and the methodology which seems in evidence are both dubious. Why Rome should be more attractive this morning than yesterday is a puzzle. Two of my best friends went to Rome after the decision to ordain women. They had both been Anglo-Catholics of long-standing, and from my own discussions with them, it was clear that only the issue of Papal Infallibility had stood in their way for years; there was no Old Catholic grouping they could join, so Rome it was. These many years on they are more like Manning than Newman - but it is often the way.
I suspect many of these Anglicans are hoping for an English uniate Church, which Archbishop Nicolls has certainly discussed in print; they may even get it from this Pope, whose recent moves in relation to the canonisation of John Henry Newman certainly raise hopes in that direction.
For myself, there was never any temptation to Rome; the differences between what it teaches and what the early Church held are too great. For me, it was a case of having been left by my own Church a long time ago, but being in the wilderness. Eastern Orthodoxy, although more in evidence in the UK than Oriental Orthodoxy, seemed too riven by ethnic considerations and too narrow in its attitude towards other Orthodox. despite contacts with it, I was never moved in its direction.
That is why I thank the Lord for the British Orthodox Church, where I have been fortunate and blessed in finding an Orthodox home in which I can learn - and experience - the True Faith once given. I remain grateful to the Anglican Church, which brought me a long way along the road; but I am a member of the BOC because it is where I encounter the Risen Christ.
In Christ,

Oh no. It's happening again.
I am NEVER satisfied with my hair. I have the kind of hair that I always have to style it somehow or else it's a frizzy mess. And I tend to want long hair when my hair is short and short hair when my hair is long.
Currently my hair is a bit past my shoulders. Not super long but not short either. I tend to either wear it totally straight or I'll use a barrel curling iron to put big curls in it. Nothing overly interesting. Oh, and did I mention I have natural wave in my hair? It definitely doesn't help.
I've been growing my hair out for about a year and a half. Before that I had an inverted bob which I loved but was a bit of upkeep. And now I am itching for short hair. Oh no! I started searching around last night and found some cute styles with bangs:

If you thought Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi's Beverly Hills home was impressive, have a look at their weekend place.
The couple's 26-acre ranch in Hidden Valley, Calif., north of Los Angeles, is the epitome of rustic elegance, pairing DeGeneres's notorious love of art and design with de Rossi's passion for horseback riding.
The property, featured in the May issue of Elle Decor out April 16, had fallen into disrepair. But in the four years since they bought it, DeGeneres and de Rossi have transformed it into a stunning showcase of art and design.
"I thought it might take Ellen five years to finish the project," de Rossi says, "and she did it in one. It was shocking!"
The ranch has two large barns at the center, as well as eight cabins, each of which DeGeneres, 55, working with decorator Jay Holman and designer Cliff Fong, designed to be unique. The property mixes 20th-century designs by Jean Prouvé and Arne Jacobsen with industrial furnishings, old portraits and fencing masks.
The talk-show host has even brought a touch of domesticity to the stables. "There are times I'll come to the barn and see a beautiful piece of early American furniture where my horses get groomed," says de Rossi, 40. "I have to explain to Ellen that I need to fit a horse in there."
DeGeneres is known for moving from home to home, but she admits the ranch – which was owned by the actor William Powell in the 1920s, and and has also been a monastery and a rehab center in its lifetime – might be a keeper.
"If I find something else and can see having a new project, I'm open to that," she says. "But I'd have to fight Portia, because this is her dream property. This we may just hold on to."

Fantabulous is an adjective meaning something is of the highest quality. It is a combination of fantastic and fabulous, which was commonly used in London in the 1960s and 70s to describe various aspects of pop culture and fashions. It was especially popular with Chelsea girls like Joanna Lumley. It is still in use in England today, but not as much as it used to be.

ENGLEWOOD � Eric Decker spent his first year in the NFL recovering from a foot injury that ended his college career and his second season catching an average of two passes a game from Tim Tebow.
Now, he�s Peyton Manning�s top target, and a busy one at that.
The Denver Broncos� third-year pro leads the team with 46 receptions and seven touchdown catches, all of which have come over the last five games as the Broncos have begun revving up under their resurgent quarterback.
That�s roughly the same production Decker had all of last season, when he led the team with 44 catches but scored half of his eight touchdowns before Kyle Orton lost his starting job by Week 6.
With 583 yards so far, Decker is the biggest beneficiary of Manning�s arrival in Denver. He�s on pace for his first 1,000-yard season, a stark contrast to last year, when he caught just 14 passes once the Broncos dusted off the old read-option offense to fit Tebow�s unusual skill set.
Manning and Decker wasted no time hooking up at local high school football fields to begin working on their timing this spring, and they�ve spent countless extra hours after practice honing that synergy.
�I think in any relationship, whether it�s a significant other or a teammate, the more time you get the better it always develops,� Decker said. �And I think the more we get on the same page, the more we understand nonverbal cues, certain routes and how to read defenses. All of those things, you can use to your advantage offensively. We�re definitely clicking more as a unit offensively.�
It�s not quite the chemistry Manning built up with Reggie Wayne or Marvin Harrison in Indianapolis � or the comfort zone he maintains with Broncos slot receiver Brandon Stokley, a former teammate of his with the Colts, for that matter � but it�s getting there.
�I see a big body, a good athlete, a good football player, a smart football player who understands what Peyton�s looking for and what he�s looking at,� said Carolina coach Ron Rivera, whose Panthers (2-6) will host the Broncos (5-3) on Sunday.
Manning leads the league in passer rating and is smack dab in the middle of the conversation for another MVP trophy, and a big reason is Decker, his 6-3, 218-pound wide receiver who was kept out of the end zone during the team�s 1-2 start but who hasn�t been denied a touchdown since the Houston Texans shut him out Sept. 23.
Demaryius Thomas also is having a big year. His 45 catches for a team-leading 756 yards already are career highs, and he�s tied his career best with four touchdown receptions so far.
Decker, who�s been targeted a team-high 69 times, and Thomas have combined for 1,339 yards receiving, most by any tandem in the NFL.
�Experience is your best teacher, so I think I do know more about my teammates and about what certain guys like, and how a guy�s body moves and when he�s going to come out of a break,� Manning said. �The more repetitions you get, the better. I don�t know them as well as I would if I would�ve played with a guy for five years. It�s been a crash course, and everybody�s been cramming.�
Thomas came into the league the same year as Decker, and both have hit their stride this season after dealing with injuries much of their first two years with the Broncos.
�Every day we push each other,� Decker said. �That�s the best thing about our relationship, is that we really respect one another. We�re good friends � we used to be roommates � but we�re also competitors at the same position.�
Decker also is benefiting from his first full training camp this summer. Last year there was the lockout, and his rookie year, he still was on the mend. He had missed the last half of his senior season at the University of Minnesota after tearing the ligament that holds the first two toes together in a game against Ohio State in October 2009.
Called a Lisfranc injury, it requires a long and arduous rehab with no guarantee of success. His draft stock dropped after his injury, but the Broncos took him with the 87th overall pick and preached patience with him.
�It wasn�t until my second year in Denver I started to feel good, feel like I had my strength, that I wasn�t thinking about it, and it wasn�t hurting after practice,� Decker said.
Decker, who only caught a half dozen passes his rookie year, when he primarily was a kick returner, received a call from Stokley right after he got hurt. Stokley had suffered the same ligament injury in 2002, and he shared his advice about rehab and adjusting to the NFL. The two became fast friends, then teamed up together in Denver in 2009 and again this season.
�Man, I�ve had a ton of injuries, Achilles, knee, you name it, and that was by far the worst one,� Stokley said. �It made me want to know if I really wanted to keep playing football. It was a beast. They did the surgery, you�re on crutches, in a boot, and then once you heal up, they have to operate again to take out the screws, and you�re back on crutches, in a boot.
�Then, it just hurts every day. Every morning, it�s killing you. The pain is so incredible,� Stokley said. �But one day, I finally turned the corner.�
Just like Decker.
He said that�s the one thing that really resonated with him during his comeback: Stokley�s admonition to stay on top of his rehab and his rest and to keep a positive attitude �because he said one day it�s going to feel good.�
�And it�s funny because that one day came, and the pain just went away.�

The Ultimate Fighter has become an absolute monster since UFC and Dana White introduced it to the world back in 2005. That first season helped re-popularize the sport of mixed martial arts and subsequent iterations have only taken the brand into new stratospheres.
Well, to borrow from Bachman Turner Overdrive, you ain't seen nothin' yet.
Tighten your seat belt because Season 13 promises to push into even loftier heights.
Love him or hate him—and chances are you fall into one of those two extremist camps—Brock Lesnar is an absolute force of nature. Where the big man goes, some magnitude of hysteria follows and that means his spin as a coach on the reality franchise should be quite the event.
Not only will we be introduced to Coach Lesnar, but we'll also get an intimate snapshot of his interactions with a fearsome opponent with whom he is preparing to do battle.
Make no mistake about it, Junior dos Santos is already a bad man at the tender age of 26, and he's only getting better. Many in the Brazilian's corner will argue that he represents the toughest challenge on Brock's resume, a slate that includes the latter's defeat to current UFC Heavyweight Champion Cain Velasquez.
Truth be told, they might be right.
But before we get an answer to that million dollar question, we get to go behind the scenes with the pair of behemoths and watch as they train a group of green welterweights for the biggest fights of their lives.
As with Season 12, Bleacher Report will be there watching and providing live reactions from the festivities every step of the way.
Join us back here when the show starts at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT on Spike TV (times are for DirecTV).

End of the Road for Samy Vellu - A Wake Up Call for Indian Malaysian Community
By sacking his secretary-general Murugessan, his action is pushing himself to the brink. The expulsion of Murugessan shows how insecure Samy is about the prospect of losing power. Unfortunately, the MIC chief is losing goodwill and respect faster than he could imagine.
The sign is clear and it shows that the Anti-Samy protest (GAS) has the support of some higher echelon in the country. If not, the group's gathering would have been able to obtain a police permit to gather and condemn a leader of Barisan component party.
Vel Paari's apology to UMNO was an attempt not to further anger some factions in UMNO who may want to oust his dad.
Samy is a politician who has outlived his time. Dr Mahathir had given him a good advice - do not overstay his usefulness. But Samy must do better than Mahathir in preserving his legacy after his retirement.
MIC is a party in decline. The state of MIC mirrors that of the community. Indians in Malaysia are a neglected lot similarly other minorities are often not featured or considered in any mainstream development.
The fate of Indian Malaysian community lies with the mindset of the community itself. They should start to exercise their democratic rights by choosing good governance over some lame communal promises made by any politicians.
A lack of political awareness amongst the Indian Malaysian community is a sad thing. The community needs something which none of the political parties in Malaysia is able to deliver - some direction, leadership and sincerity in putting the community's needs, issues and insecurities in the right perspective.
How long since have we heard of any Indian Malaysian who had excelled in a certain field since Dr Jegathesan?
This is a wake up call for the community. It is time to break out of their communal shell.
10 comments:
Ouch! Ur comment bout lack of persons after Dr. Jegathesan is unbecoming.
There are numerous Malaysians who are of Indian/Sri Lankan descent who are leaders in their field.
It so happens becoz they are not of a race and/or religion that attracts journalists, but there are many class leading Malaysians of Indian/Sri Lankan origin out there.

It is better for sami to stay on.
We need his "help" in the coming general election ( can be anytime )
"How long since have we heard of any Indian Malaysian who had excelled in a certain field since Dr Jegathesan?"
I can name one and that is Vk Lingam.
It is best for the Indian Malaysians not to support single race base political parties . Most of such parties are failures.
PAS realized it and they are now open to all Malaysians.
We are all inter related in some ways or another.
Let sami keeps his presidency.
Let him holds onto his lifebuoy and drift to nowhere.
This is 1 time I support Semi value, not the hand and butt kissing Indian farts (GAS???) from Hulu Selangor.
Mugilan, Kamalanathan etc can go and join Gerakan or convert and join UMNO.
The Indians ore either too stupid or too frighten to fight for their future.
First MCA, now MIC.Struggle for POWER and $$$$ REWARDS.......
He should leave gracefully singing the oldie-MY WAY.
Regrets , I have but too few to mention....
Is there not something very wrong when a political party's president can simply kick out anyone he chooses to kick out without any hearing or at least the endorsement of some high level committee (like the CWC in MIC)? And if the president also has the power to appoint anyone he chooses to the cWC, what check and balance is there?
The president becomes like the feudal lords and kings of old, whose word is law, and whose summary execution orders must be carried out without question, no?
Such power vested in one person surely gives rise to questions about absolute power corrupting absolutely (re: Lord Acton). And fears of the person becoming a dictator simply disposing of any challengers by the simple means of kicking him put of the party.
Even if the president is downright corrupt, anyone trying to legitimately bring it up in the party can also be similarly kicked out.
Is there any justification for such powers to be vested in any party president in this day and age?
That "semi value" guy, still think that he owns MIC. One has to look at the overall indian community welfare today after 52+ years will know what has this "semi value" guy did. In fact, he milked the whole poor indian community high and dry. Those greedy parasites who hang on to him have no compunction at all to their own community. As long as their pockets are full, who cares la.
Anyway, MIC is dead and gone since that "semi value" got kicked out in 0308 by his very own community. But his face is so so thick and ego as high as the sky having the cheek to say that he was trying to save MIC from being destroyed. He is still in dreamland. MIC is dead and gone, what to save la????????
In the corporate sector, people have to retire at the age of 60, sometimes even earlier, for by then these people are considered over-the-hill and can no longer cut it. The retirement is often mandatory but, we can be sure, in many cases non-voluntary.
Unfortunately, in politics there is no such policy. So, what we see is that people in their late 60's and even 70's still strutting around as Cabinet Ministers. These decrepit old geezers simply just won't go away on their own, and in the case at hand, we see this fellow fighting tooth-and-nail to cling on to his post.
It is deeply disappointing that these last-gasp, fossilized old relics just don't seem to have the self-awareness and humility to vacate their seat in order that a younger, more dynamic, capable, and higher educated, person could have a chance to serve the people and take the nation to a higher plane.
By hanging on to their positions stubbornly when it is clear to everyone that they have already outstayed their usefulness and effectiveness, these decaying, putrid derelicts are inflicting a grievous injustice on the younger generation of leaders who are kept waiting in the wings to take over. In the meantime, the nation and the ordinary people suffer from a lack of progress that they otherwise would have enjoyed.
I think there are still some towering Indians out there, especially in the legal arena etc. How about Ananda Krishnan? The 2nd richest man in Malaysia.
But we get your drift on the state of Indians as a whole in Malaysia.

text: Softball Wins Series Finale vs. Kennesaw 4-2 April 14, 2013 The Stetson softball team scored three runs in the first, one in the second, and held on for a 4-2 victory over Kennesaw State in the rubber game of an Atlantic Sun Conference series Sunday afternoon at Patricia Wilson Field. Jessica Griffin, Demi Meza, and Morgan Hatch each drove in runs and Meredith Owen registered her third consecutive win in the circle as the Hatters (24-17, 7-10) picked up a critical series win over the Owls (27-16, 11-10 A-Sun). Stetson, which needs to move past two teams to qualify for next month's A-Sun tournament, is now tied with Kennesaw State in the loss column with four games at hand. Was Sunday a must-win game for the Hatters? "I felt like it was," Stetson head coach Frank Griffin said. "We are going to have to come up with a good win streak this week. We have two games Wednesday with North Florida and three on Saturday and Sunday with East Tennessee, I feel like we have to win all those games to get back in the hunt for the conference tournament." Stetson's three-run first inning was aided by an illegal pitch called against KSU starter Abbey Mixon. With one out and the bases loaded, Mixon appeared to have struck out Hatch on a 2-2 offering, but the illegal pitch took the out off the board and allowed Chrissy Morello to advance home with the second run of the inning. Hatch then delivered a sacrifice fly to right to put Stetson ahead 3-0. In the bottom of the second, Kayla Drury lined a one-out double to left field and scored on an infield single with two outs by Jessica Griffin. Drury finished the game 2-for-3 at the plate and had four assists at second base. "Kayla is swinging the bat well, and she did a good job at second," Frank Griffin said. "I thought her defense was outstanding today." The Owls cut the lead in half behind solo home runs from Sharon Swanson in the third and Angie Dascoli in fourth. "(The early lead) allowed Meredith to pitch with more confidence, knowing she had a little cushion," Frank Griffin said. "The two home runs didn't hurt as bad - they were just single runs. Had there been baserunners on that could have turned the whole ball game." Owen went to work after Dascoli's home run, retiring the final 11 consecutive batters she faced. For the game she struck out six and retired 10 others on ground ball outs. "(Today's win) was extremely important," Owen said. "We have to get on a roll right now to get us into the conference tournament, so this is just the beginning." Brittany Hawn, Jessica Griffin and Drury each recorded a pair of hits for Stetson. "We knew coming into today we had to pull out a win, and we got it done," Drury said. Winners of four out of five, the Hatters will host UNF in a doubleheader at 4 p.m. on Wednesday. Notes: Meredith Owen went 3-0 on the week and moved past 100 strikeouts on the season ... Frank Griffin coached his 1,250th career game Sunday ... Stetson improved to 19-4 when scoring first ... Chrissy Morello extended her hit streak to 10.Print Friendly Version More Headlines

MILL HALL - The announcers from the northeastern Pennsylvania television station broadcasting Friday night's PIAA Class A semifinal football game at Central Mountain High School remarked numerous times about how impressed they were with Bellwood-Antis' speed and hard-hitting.
Blue Devil linebacker Tyler Campbell and his teammates, though, left as big a mark on their program's rich history as they did on opposing players.
Even while the sting of Dunmore's 40-19 win that ended Bellwood's season at a rain-drenched Malinak Stadium still was fresh, Blue Devil players were able to recognize and take pride in a long list of accomplishments that put this team on the short list in the discussion of the best the school has ever produced.
"It's just an honor to be a part of one of the best Bellwood-Antis football teams that'll ever be around," Campbell said, fighting back tears. "To be right up there with Josh Kleinfelter and Devon Clapper - those guys were great - it's an honor to be up there with them."
Kleinfelter and Clapper were key performers on the last Blue Devil team to make it this far in 2006, back when Campbell and his fellow seniors were watching as sixth graders. The only other Bellwood-Antis team to reach this point was the 1988 edition. None made it further.
"I feel really proud of what we did. Compared to other Bellwood-Antis teams, we're up there near the top. It means a lot to be a part of one of the best teams ever at Bellwood-Antis," said senior tight end/linebacker O'Shea.
It also was the sixth B-A team to win a District 6 championship, bouncing back after losing in the finals last year.
"It was an outstanding season," Coach John Hayes said. "From the very beginning, through the regular season and the playoff run, you look at it, and you're one of the top four teams left in the state, and you have to be very proud of that, which we are."
This year's Blue Devils matched some of Bellwood's greatest teams from the past, but it also set some standards all its own. The Blue Devils tied the school record for wins in a season with 13 and established records for total points (492) and total yards (5,268). Junior tailback Casey Gray posted the third best rushing season ever for the Blue Devils, running behind a line that included just one senior and one player weighing more than 220 pounds.
"I feel real good. Everyone was expecting the line to be one of the weak spots, but, with us being so small, we can step it up and compete with bigger kids," guard/defensive tackle Keith Shawley said. "We've got really good running backs. Casey's one of the best running backs I've ever seen. We've got a lot of really good athletes. We've got play-makers. Ian O'Shea, coming back from injury, was a big player for us. Haden DeGennaro, it's a bummer [he couldn't play after breaking his leg in the state quarterfinals]. He averaged almost 10 yards a carry. We had a really good quarterback [Seth Worthing]."
"I'm even surprised at how good we did. I wasn't expecting that," Worthing said. "I wasn't expecting to win districts, honestly. I was expecting maybe something like last year. It really surprised me. It's wonderful."
The Blue Devils not only won the district title, they won it convincingly over perennial nemesis Bishop McCort in one of the most dominating District 6 finals performances ever, 54-3. However, for the Devils, it was hard to pick between that game or their season-opening win against Tyrone for their favorite moment of the year.
"That's pretty tough," Shawley said. "For my senior year, the first goal I wanted was to beat Tyrone. I lost to them as a sophomore, as a junior. It felt like 'This is my last chance. I've got to beat them.' And we pulled it out. They've got a really good football team, and I give them a lot of credit. But we were able to win this year."
It's a rare choice for Blue Devil players to have to make. The only other time B-A was able to win both the Backyard Brawl and District 6 was in 1988.
"It's the first game, but it's also a special game," Campbell said. "It gave us confidence. It showed us what we could do."
Campbell and Dan Beech keyed a defense that held 11 teams to two touchdowns or less from their inside linebacker spots, while Cameron Worthing gave the Devils a big-play threat at receiver with five touchdowns. The seniors will be missed, Gray said.
"They're all my best friends," Gray said of the seniors. "I just learned to never give up and love everyone on your team as though they were your family."
The 2012 Blue Devils leave some big shoes. However, the 2013 Devils have the advantage of having a lot of the same players to come back and fill them.
Hayes started six underclassmen on offense against Dunmore and five more opened the state semifinal on defense. That doesn't even include junior Owen Worthing and freshman Jake Burch - both engineered drives filling in at quarterback after Seth Worthing was injured early - and Josh Gates, who started at tight end for the first half of the year when O'Shea was banged up.
"All those guys are going to be stepping up," Shawley said. "I expect a lot from them. I think they're going to do a really good job."
"The experience will definitely help us next year. We know what it takes. We know how to act," Gray said. "Hopefully we can do the same next year, or even better."
This year's team left them something to shoot for, as well as all future Bellwood football teams.
"It's nice that kids will be looking at our records and trying to beat them," Seth Worthing said. "Just knowing that I'm setting the bar higher for them means our team had a lot to feel good about."

GREENWICH - One long run set up a score, two other touchdowns came on sprints of more than 40 yards and Seneca East's defense made the stops Friday in a 20-0 win over South Central.
The Tigers stopped South Central at the goal line on the game's first drive, then used Ethan Caudill's 85-yard rumble to set up Jordan Phillips' 9-yard touchdown run.
It stayed a one-score game until the fourth quarter, when Phillips turned in a 43-yard TD run and Alex Schreiber sprinted 63 yards for another score.
Ben Hahler tallied 10 tackles for the Tigers and Lantz Borher had eight.
BC feasts on diet of Adkins
NEW WASHINGTON - Michael Adkins ran for three scores and Austin McDonnell returned the second-half kickoff 80 yards for a touchdown Friday as Buckeye Central turned back New London, 28-19.
The teams entered the break knotted at 6 after New London's Derek Phillips bulled in from 3 yards out and Adkins scored on a 6-yard run, both in the second quarter.
McDonnell's kickoff return put the Bucks up 12-6, but the Wildcats countered with two Clay Wilson touchdowns, one on a 65-yard pass from Josh Hamilton and another on a 5-yard run, for a 19-12 advantage.
But Adkins and the Bucks answered back in the fourth, with the senior turning in TD runs of 8 and 11 yards to put the game away.
"We have a lot of new kids. Third quarter, New London really got after us and our kids responded. Some of the kids grew up in that fourth quarter and that was the biggest key right there," Buckeye Central coach Jason Ratliff said.
"We rely on Michael a lot, he's our workhorse," he said. "We need him to step up, and down the stretch he did that."
Adkins ran 20 times for 165 yards, equaling the output of New London's ground attack. Grant Loy went 6 of 12 through the air for 95 yards.
New London's Josh Hamilton hit on nine of his 16 passes for 139 yards. Wilson caught had three receptions for 83 yards.
Warriors get around USV
McGUFFEY - Grant Price bulled in from 2 yards out with 48 seconds to go Friday to lift Mohawk to a 28-24 win over Upper Scioto Valley.
Price and Warriors led 22-8 at the end of the first quarter, but the Rams scored single touchdowns in the third and fourth quarters and ran in a pair of conversions to inch ahead 24-22.
Mohawk looked to have the game well in hand in the first quarter, with Drew Loose sandwiching TD tosses of 5 and 30 yards to Mitch Parker around Logan Stillberger's 43-yard scoring run for a 22-0 lead.
Loose ran 15 times for 133 yards, and went 11 of 22 for 142 yards through the air. Parker caught five passes for 59 yards.
Mock-led Redskins top Lakota
ARCADIA - Casey Mock shredded Lakota's defense for 203 yards and four touchdown passes in the first half as the Redskins rolled up a 41-20 season-opening win.
Lakota cut the deficit to 27-14 with a pair of second-half scores, the second of which came with 9:44 to play, but Mock connected with Seth Bauer on a 22-yard TD toss and Chase Gonzales added a 48-yard run to pad Arcadia's lead.
Mock had scoring throws of 45 yards in the first quarter to Terrance Cheeks, and second-quarter TD throws of 6 yards to Clay Moyer and 13 and 14 yards to Bauer.
The Raiders countered with Kody Brewer's 17 yard touchdown sprint in the third quarter and Ed Racheter's 1-yard plunge in the fourth.
Brewer closed out the scoring with a 62-yard burst on the game's final play.
Mock finished 15 of 22 for 263 yards, and ran 11 times for another 111 yards.
Bauer caught 10 passes for 141 yards and Moyer had six receptions for 52 yards.
Brewer gave the Raiders 104 yards on eight carries, and Racheter (18-59) and Tiger Jaso (12-69) combined for 30 carries for 128 yards.
Titans steamroll FHS
OTTAWA - Ottawa-Glandorf broke open a close game with four touchdowns in the second quarter and three in the third Friday in a 62-7 whipping of Fostoria.
Tristan Parker put the Titans went up 7-0 in the first period on a 2-yard run, then added TD runs of 7 and 1 yards in the second quarter. Cody Alt then returned a blocked punt 7 yards for a score, and Caleb Siefker found Brendon Drerup for a 6-yard touchdown toss after a turnover for a 35-0 halftime lead.
The third quarter brought Siefker TD tosses of 6 yards to Drerup and 31 to Jacob Leopold, and Shane Schroeder's 6-yard scoring run.
Drerup tacked on a 29-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter, and Fostoria's Adonis Cousin closes out the scoring with a 1-yard plunge later in the period.
Parker ended with 121 yards on 17 carries and Siefker went 7 of 12 for 102 yards through the air. Leopold caught three passes for 42 yards.
Adonis ran 20 times for 95 yards for the Redmen.

ASPEN � The Demons beat the snow, but they couldn�t beat the Skiers.
The Durango High School boys lacrosse team opened the Colorado prep season with a game at Aspen on Friday afternoon, finishing ahead of an approaching winter storm.
Playing outside for only the second time all year, the Demons dropped a 21-3 decision to the red-hot Skiers, who have been practicing outside on their all-weather artificial turf field for three weeks.
Aspen scored four goals in a dizzying span of 49 seconds in the opening period to set the tone.
The Skiers led 10-0 before Duncan Whitley put the Demons on the board in the closing seconds of the first half. He attacked from behind the goal and slipped the ball into the net.
Whitley added a second goal for the Demons on a rocket of a shot early in the fourth quarter.
Jared Cook scored Durango�s final goal after taking a pass from Trevor Gabbard, a Bayfield student who is playing lacrosse in Durango because the Wolverines� don�t field a lacrosse team.
Durango opened the season last weekend with a 12-0 win at Santa Fe Prep in New Mexico.
�The faceoffs killed us,� DHS head coach John Robinette said. �Then, most of their goals came in transition.�
Robinette said the annual adjustment from indoors to outdoors is difficult for the Demons.
�It�s the same story starting the season for us,� Robinette said. �Fifty guys practicing lacrosse in a basketball gym. It�s not an excuse; it�s just the circumstance we have.�
He said he hopes the Demons will be able to practice outdoors next week.
�But hey, we didn�t execute. We didn�t make the plays we needed to make. Hats off to Aspen. They are a good team,� Robinette said.
�One thing I can say about these guys (Demons) is they didn�t give up; they didn�t get down,� Robinette said. �Obviously, we have some work to do.�
The Demons will play Battle Mountain (Vail) on Saturday, weather permitting.

Lower Your Health Care Costs
There are steps you can take to help reduce the rising health care costs.
Take Charge of Your Health
Many health care costs are related to personal behavior. Unhealthy habits can result in chronic health issues, which cost our economy an estimated $1 trillion each year. Here are just a few ways you can improve your health while helping to manage your health care costs.
- Eat smart. Eating healthy foods can help prevent chronic health issues such as obesity.
- Exercise. Regular exercise is key to getting and staying healthy.
- Don't smoke. Tobacco use is a leading preventable cause of death.
- Manage chronic conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure.
- Schedule regular check-ups with your doctor to prevent health issues.
Health Plan Cost Estimator
Use the estimator tool to create a health profile to evaluate insurance plan options and estimated annual costs.
If your employer has given you an eight-character pass code to access your employer group's Health Plan Cost Estimator tool, enter the code below.
Help Prevent Health Care Fraud and Abuse
Health care fraud is a key driver of rising health care costs. About 3% of all health care spending — or $68 billion each year — is lost to health care fraud. Here are some things you can do to help prevent health care fraud and abuse.
- Review your health care charges. Look over your Explanation of Benefits from your insurer and receipts from your doctor or pharmacist to make sure the right dates of service are recorded, and that you are billed for the right services or medications.
- Protect your health information. Keep your insurance card and health care records in a safe place at all times.
- Monitor your medications. Count your pills each time that you pick up a prescription.
- Report suspected fraud and abuse as soon as possible. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico members can call our Provider Fraud Hotline at 800-543-0867 to report suspected health care fraud.

NHS Education for Scotland
- Replaces legacy software and file shares with Alfresco
- Improved document collaboration
- Metadata tagging for improved search
- Workflows increased the efficiencies of NES employees
- Control of a document's full lifecycle
- Documents can be shared in text and multimedia formats
National Health Service's (NHS) Education for Scotland (NES) is NHS Scotland's national education and training board. It is responsible for the development and delivery of education and training for all those who work in NHS Scotland. NES has sites across Scotland, with central offices in Edinburgh and Glasgow as well as regional offices in Dundee, Aberdeen and Inverness. NES members works alongside territorial health boards within Scotland in order to support their needs, and provides a wide range of educational activities to meet governmental policy.
In 2010, NES saw the need to improve its information management and invited companies to respond to a request for proposal (RFP) to provide the NES with enterprise document and records management, intranet and collaboration services. NES was seeking a fully integrated enterprise content management (ECM) system hosted on the NES network to replace its legacy software which only provided a basic, stand-alone functionality.
At the time, NES stored documents in shared drive content silos and a stand-alone intranet / content management systems (CMS). As a result, most documents were shared between employees via email. With over 700 full- and part-time staff operating across 13 sites, NES recognized the need for an ECM system to provide improved productivity, workflow and access to information. There was also a need for the scanning and storage of paper documents.
The RFP was advertised on the United Kingdom's Office of Government Commerce (OGC) Buying Solutions Framework and won by Ixxus, an Alfresco Platinum Partner. Ixxus had won several public sector Alfresco contracts, including the Partnership for Schools and the University of Westminster projects. With a proven track record of successfully delivering on such projects, Ixxus was the ideal partner to provide a solution tailored specifically to NES requirements.
The contract was won with Ixxus' proposal for using Alfresco. This solution was more cost-effective for meeting NES's requirements than a number of proprietary solutions, including Microsoft SharePoint. The Ixxus solution delivered an open source, highly scalable and cost effective architecture based around the Alfresco ECM platform.
Ixxus was responsible for the end-to-end implementation. Ixxus used its proven 6D implementation methodology, using a mixture of agile scrum techniques and PRINCE2 project management. Daily scrums were used to track progress of the sprints iterations with regular sprint review demonstrations performed on-site or through remote facilities.
The new Alfresco solution enables NES to create, manage and share electronic documents in text and multimedia formats. The solution provides powerful data and metadata tagging facilities, dramatically improving the ability for users to search and locate the content that they need quickly and easily.
New workflows designed in Alfresco increase the efficiency of NES workers and provide NES with full control over the lifecycle of its content. The solution also allows NES to manage permissions levels at a granular level. With Alfresco, NES can quickly set up new secure team workspace environments to collaborate on documents and content within a unified repository, with a consistent user interface across the whole ECM solution.
- Alfresco is successfully deployed at NES and provides the organizations with easy to use document management, records management and collaboration functionality.
- Alfresco partner, Ixxus conducted a "train-the-trainer and administrator" training for NES to obtain the required knowledge to train and support end users.
- NES anticipates that its Alfresco implementation will grow to potentially 750 users and two million document objects.

BERLIN CENTER - After three consectutive victories, Leetonia's early season momentum hit a speed bump Friday at Western Reserve. The Blue Devils got 156 rushing yards from Tim Cooper and two touchdown passes from Quarterback Nick Allison en route to a 35-14 victory over the Bears.
Western Reserve (4-2, 2-0 ITCL Tier 2) has now reeled off four wins in a row after beginning the season 0-2.
"Nobody should count this team out," head coach Andy Hake said. "We lost a lot of skill off of last year's team, and faced a tough schedule early this season, but our players are starting to come together."
Leetonia (3-2, 1-1 ITCL Tier 2) got off to a fast start, getting a 43-yard run from fullback Zack Van Giesen on the game's first play from scrimmage to set up 1st-and-10 at the Western Reserve 25. Six rushing plays later, the Bears were in the end zone, with Van Giesen going 2-yards over the middle for the score to make it 7-0 Leetonia.
Western Reserve went three-and-out on their first drive, but Leetonia gave the ball right back after a high third down snap was recovered by the Blue Devils at the Leetonia 38. After four runs by Cooper netted 22 yards, fullback Dan Zilke finished things off with a five-yard touchdown run to even the score at seven apiece.
After pounding Leetonia with the running game, Western Reserve decided to go to the air on their next drive, and it didn't take long to connect. On 2nd-and-15 from his own 21, Allison play-faked to Cooper and lofted a pass over the top that Parker Warren hauled in at midfield and took the rest of the way for a touchdown. The 79-yard score, along with a two-point conversion run by Cooper made it 15-7. Leetonia drew to within one later in the quarter on a 4-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Trent Ferry to Brandon Dattilo with 5:18 to go in the half. The score was set up three plays earlier when the Bears recovered a Dan Zilke fumble at the Blue Devil nine. Neither team could mount any offense for the remainder of the quarter, and the score stayed 15-14 at halftime.
"I thought we started out well in the first half," said Leetonia coach Matt Altomare. "We came out running the ball hard, and our defense was able to make some plays for us. Unfortunately we were not able to sustain our execution in the 2nd half."
Halfway through the 3rd quarter - still leading by a point - Western Reserve blocked a Leetonia punt and took over at the Bears 31. The Blue Devils had been pounding away with Tim Cooper for the entire third quarter, but on 1st down from the 19, Allison play-faked and found on open John Timko for a 19-yard touchdown pass to make it 22-14.
"We were very flat in the first half, said Hake." I told the guys in the locker room that they weren't playing like themselves. We came out and were a completely different team in the 2nd half."
On Leetonia's ensuing drive, they were dealt a crippling blow when Zack Van Giesen went down with a leg injury and did not return.
"Losing Zach was huge for us," Altomare said. "In addition to what he gives us in the running game, he also does a great job along the defensive line plugging holes."
Western Reserve ran right at the Leetonia defensive line on their next drive, with Cooper going 52 yards up the middle to put the Blue Devils up by two scores with 10 minutes left. "The offensive line did a great job at opening up holes in the 2nd half," Cooper said. "We could tell [Leetonia] was wearing down a little bit up front so we decided to keep going at them."
After a Leetonia three-and-out Western Reserve took over with 7:30 to play and proceeded to ice the game with a 7-play 76-yard drive, with all of the yardage coming on the ground.
"Their line is huge," Altomare said. "We have a lot of guys playing both ways, which took its toll in the second half. We have to look at tonight as a learning experience, and keep trying to get better one week at a time."
"I'm proud of the way our guys played tonight," Hake said. "But we have to find more consistancy going forward. The ITCL lower-tier should be a good race this year, and we aren't going to overlook anybody on the schedule."
Leetonia hosts McDonald next week, while Western Reserve travels to Lowellville.

LISBON - Anthony Carosiello, the brother-in-law of murder victim Holly Carosiello, pleaded guilty Wednesday in Columbiana County Common Pleas Court to three counts of tampering with evidence.
He faces up to nine years in prison. However, as part of a plea agreement requiring him to cooperate and testify truthfully in any and all court hearings involving Holly Carosiello's death, Assistant County Prosecutor Tammie Riley Jones said she will ask for a two-year prison sentence.
Sentencing is not until Jan. 18. Anthony Carosiello, 26, Hillcrest Road, Wellsville, was served with a subpoena to appear before the grand jury following Wednesday's hearing.
Jones said the three counts were due to Anthony Carosiello's actions following the shooting death of Holly Carosiello. She was shot in the head outside the home of her estranged husband, Nick Carosiello, on Aug. 12, 2011.
According to Jones, Anthony Carosiello entered the home on Township Line Road that night, concealed and removed a handgun. Likewise on Aug. 13, while investigators continued to work on the case, Anthony Carosiello reportedly took a second handgun from the home along with a Walmart bag containing a large quantity of marijuana.
As part of the plea agreement, Jones said she will recommend a fourth charge of obstructing official business be dropped. The charge was for failing to tell detectives he had taken the pistols and marijuana from the home while they were investigating the murder. She also agreed to drop the firearm specifications.
Anthony Carosiello is the fourth person to plea to charges involving the night of Holly Carosiello's murder. No one has been charged with the murder at this time. However, at Jamie Adkins' sentencing hearing, his defense attorney, Kelly Linger, had accused Nick Carosiello as being the person who pulled the trigger while Adkins held her up to help her break into the house through a window.
Adkins, who was believed to have been the one who planned the burglary of Nick Carosiello's home, was sentenced to 10 years. Joshua Rudder, who drove the group committing the robbery, was sentenced to five years. Dustin Green, a co-conspirator in the robbery, is scheduled to be sentenced Nov. 15.
