Nirupam Ends Fast after Assurance from Chavan on Power Tariff
By PTI - MUMBAI
Published: 26th January 2014 10:29 PM
Last Updated: 26th January 2014 10:29 PM
Congress MP Sanjay Nirupam today called off his four-day old fast after an assurance from Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan that a decision on his demand to reduce power tariff in Mumbai would be taken in the next two days.
The MP from Mumbai North had been on a hunger strike outside Reliance Energy office in suburban Kandivali since Thursday seeking lowering of rates for power consumers in the metropolis, which was excluded from the just announced cut in tariff.
Sources close to Nirupam said Chavan spoke to the Lok Sabha member and asked him to call off his fast as the government will take a decision on reducing power tariff in the financial capital in a couple of days.
State Congress President Manikrao Thakre later met Nirupam, who is also AICC Secretary, and conveyed Chavan's message. After this, Nirupam ended his fast.
Nirupam, however, warned that he would start his agitation again if the decision was not taken in the given time-frame.
Mumbai was excluded from the government's January 21 decision to slash rates by 20 per cent for domestic consumers, industries and powerlooms served by the state-run Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company (MahaVitaran).
Consumers in the metropolis get electricity from private utilities Tata Power, Reliance Infrastructure and also civic agency Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport undertaking.

What Books on Mexicans Should I Buy this Christmas?
Dear Readers: Behold your favorite Mexican's annual Christmas gift guide, where I give shout-outs to some of my favorite books that deserve your money this holiday season! And for once, I won't recommend my books — ¡Ask a Mexican!, Orange County: A Personal History and Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America — as gifts ... oh wait, I just did!
The Perennials: I've plugged the following books in the past, and I'll never stop plugging them because they're magnificent: North from Mexico by Cary McWilliams (the first serious history of Mexicans in the United States), Tex(t)-Mex: Seductive Hallucinations of the Mexican in America by William Nericcio (to quote myself last year, a "scabrous take on Mexicans in the American imagination"), Barrios to Burbs: The Making of the Mexican-American Middle Class by USC professor Jody Agius Vallejo (a beautifully written analysis of how Mexis move up in societal circles) and anything by Lalo Alcaraz (legendary cartoonista) and Sam Quinones (who's currently working on a book about America's drug epidemic).
The Oldies-but-Goodies: The Mexican never stops reading, so here are some classics worth revisiting, all great starting points for those of ustedes who want to know your Chicano history: The Decline of the Californios: A Social History of the Spanish-speaking Californians, 1846-1890 by Leonard Pitts (a late-1960s tome that explains in depressing detail how California's Mexican-hating roots began), "With His Pistol in his Hand": A Border Ballad and its Hero by Américo Paredes (a pioneering folklore study on the corridos surrounding Tejano hero Gregorio Cortez) and Occupied America, the ultimate textbook on Chicano studies.
The Newbies: Standing on Common Ground: The Making of a Sunbelt Borderland by Northwestern professor Geraldo L. Cadava is a much-needed, wonderfully researched, well-written overview of an often-forgotten part of Aztlán: Arizona. (I mean, Arizona is always part of the conversation due to Arpayaso and all of its Know Nothing politicians, but we rarely talk about the good of the state). Hotel Mariachi: Urban Space and Cultural Heritage in Los Angeles by Catherine L. Kurland is an awesome ethnography of the mariachis of Boyle Heights, with stunning photos giving readers a sense of place. Finally, but definitely not least, a massive shout-out to Everything Begins and Ends at the Kentucky Club, a collection of short stories by El Paso writer Benjamin Alire Sáenz that won this year's prestigious PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction — a huge victory not just for Chicano literature but also small presses, as the cabrones who published it were my pals at Cinco Puntos Press.

CAPITOLA, Calif. (AP) - It might not have been a white wedding, but it certainly was a wet one.
Tiffany Taylor and Cole Hudson decided to pass up a church wedding and instead said "I do" while clinging to surfboards in the chilly waters off Capitola Beach.
The pair wore black wet suits for the Thanksgiving Day nuptials. The bride jazzed up her suit with a veil, while the groom wore a top hat.
The two surfing fans met a year ago at a nonprofit group in nearby Santa Cruz which brings homebound seniors to its offices for a hot meal and socializing.
Hudson worked there, while Taylor was a volunteer.
Both said they believe it was love at first sight, although their first date didn't come until May. Cole popped the question over the summer.
The wet suit wedding fit their personalities.
"We were done with the formal wedding stuff and wanted something that glorified God," Taylor said.

CFP Conference-Workshop: The Global War Centenary, 1914-2014
The Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS), Lahore, Pakistan, March 21-23, 2014
The impending withdrawal of the United States' military forces from Afghanistan in 2014 follows one hundred years after the outbreak of the First World War; this centenary of continuous global conflict invites critical reflection on the place of war in modern history. Accelerated development of the means of destruction and technologies of war in the twentieth century, humanity's most violent, has been as much a feature of modernity as material progress. This process in fact germinated with the dramatic pace and scope of industrialization and colonization in the nineteenth century.
The ensuing 'Age of Extremes' can be collapsed into three periods: (1) 1914-1945- that witnessed the two world wars – frequently described as 'total wars'– unprecedented in their geographical scope and the scale of barbarity; (2) 1945-1991- the Cold War, in which proxy warfare and guerrilla insurgencies were fuelled by competing ideologies; and (3) since 1991- the era of 'new wars' characterized by increasingly transnational flows of combatants, ideologies, new technologies and ever-shifting perpetrators and theaters of violence, represented most dramatically by the twenty-first century's borderless 'War on Terror'. The modes of warfare in these three periods interacted and shaped each other in complex ways reflecting both the geopolitics and technological innovations of the twentieth century and the fruits of the preceding centuries of economic and military progress. As the locales, organizations, and technologies of war have continuously shifted and evolved, twentieth-century warfare has given new names and forms to historically familiar patterns of conflict, whilst globalizing and mechanizing war as never before.
This conference-workshop identifies war as an essential and perennial feature of modernity rather than the aberrational violation of sovereignty or the outbreak of inter-state violence. Inasmuch as war is an event, it is also a process that defines the modern world; it represents a synthesis of historical developments that disregarded sixteenth-century notions of sovereignty which had prioritized the state as a repository of authority, power, and rational collective action. Viewed over the longue durée, the roots of war are traceable to the very basis of economic and political modernization, and in developments central to our age:
industrialization and economic development; imperial consolidation and anti-colonial resistance; state-formation and nationalism; ideological warfare and alliance building; revolutionary Marxism and transnational capitalism; identity politics and secessionist movements.
The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at LUMS is pleased to host this dialogue in Lahore. Professors Bruce Cumings (University of Chicago), Gopal Balakrishnan (University of California, Santa Cruz), and Dirk Moses (European University Institute) shall present keynote addresses in open plenary sessions and serve as critical commentators during the event.
We welcome abstracts on a broad range of themes relating to war, society and modernity across the long twentieth century for either panel or workshop presentation. We aim to dedicate the workshop sessions to pre-circulated papers. These papers should represent work in progress and be twenty to twenty-five pages in length. Following the event, we plan to compile the papers in an edited volume or a journal special issue.
Please send an abstract of up to five hundred words and a short bio to
. The Department of Humanities and Social Sciences at LUMS shall extend full hospitality – covering accommodation, meals and local transport – to participants for the duration of the conference-workshop. Participants are requested to make their own travel arrangements to Lahore, Pakistan.

Asteroid Spacecraft
Back in February, the asteroid 2012 DA14 got 17,100 miles from Earth and, as scientists predicted, kept right on going. The omens now suggest that the large rock wasn't an asteroid at all, but a spaceship in disguise doing a fly-by to get a better idea of the ideal landing spot for the aliens to spread their message of... April Fool's!
ARIES (March 21-April 19). You probably don't want to spend a lot of time learning how to work a tool in order to do a job. You just want to do the job. And yet, taking the time to master your tools now will save you time in the end.
TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Many around you won't share your mood, and you may find that quite all right. After all, can we really assume that being happy is better than all of the other emotional tones a person could be?
GEMINI (May 21-June 21). How things change. You are in the process of fashioning a weird little family out of these people you once hardly knew — and perhaps weren't even sure you wanted to know.
CANCER (June 22-July 22). If the choice is to join a group or go it alone, this is an excellent time to bond with a few diverse personalities. When one person is tired and ready to give up, another person will be up and ready to help.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). The bigger your heart gets the less you feel the need to protect yourself. You learn that you can gather your strength from many sources instead of from the small, self-serving pool of the ego.
VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). As the sign that rules natural growth, you know that everything takes time. For instance, after you plant a seed in the ground, you don't dig it up every few hours to see how it's doing.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). You may have the urge to travel with a posse. There is strength in numbers, after all. But be careful, and use your judgment. If you bring too many people, you could actually be perceived as insecure.
SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). You'll have the choice to play the hero, the villain or the helpless victim who needs saving. All three characters are necessary in drama. Lighten up, choose a role, and have some fun with it.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). The sparkle of charisma that keeps your phone buzzing today could be blamed on the moon in your sign, or possibly on your utterly unselfconscious way of dealing with people.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). On the other side of a realization is a ticket to ride the next train to the destination of your choice. But you must first have the realization. It's how you pay the fare.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). Expectations, your own and other people's, have a way of changing your experience of reality. But you can always choose to see things differently than the way everyone around you sees them.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Your dual nature is fascinating to those around you. You can be many things at once. Even when you feel skeptical or afraid, there's still a part of you that is bold and ready for whatever comes.
TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (April 1). You go into the year with great passion and are willing to perform self-sacrificing acts to keep relationships strong and love alive. Pull back a bit in May, though, to allow others to rise to the occasion of returning your affection. June brings a financial breakthrough, and in July, you'll invest in an exciting new venture. Aquarius and Pisces people adore you. Your lucky numbers are: 30, 1, 22, 24 and 16.
ASTROLOGICAL QUESTIONS: "I'm a Libra who has been studying the topics of having a better relationship and family life and also finding happiness. My problem is that the books I've read suggest that to be happier in marriage, I have to change the way I look at things and behave. For instance, some suggestions are that I stop keeping score of what I do and what my husband does around the house, that I give him a better quality of my attention, etc. It's absurd because I spend 10 times more hours on domestic work, and I work a full-time job. Shouldn't I be getting angry instead of giving him more loving attention? And why is it always the woman who has to change? Isn't there something fundamentally wrong with our society when married women are statistically less happy than single women and married men are statistically happier than single men? Or maybe I just should have married a Virgo."
Interesting rant, dear Libra, and you make some excellent points. As the sign of the scales, keeping track is part of your basic nature. Happiness might be obtained by staying truer to your feelings. Keep track, get mad, and ask your husband to change for a change!
CELEBRITY PROFILES: WWE "Raw" wrestling champion and actor Randy Orton was advised by his family not to go into professional wrestling, and they were speaking from experience: His father, grandfather and uncle were all wrestling pros. But the Aries warrior energy ran too deep for this champion to resist his calling. With Mars in Leo, the business of entertainment also comes as a natural fit.

Museum spokesman Alan di Perna says the guitar was discovered in an upstairs closet at Presley's Graceland home in 1982. Museum restoration specialists are repairing minor damage to the guitar's neck and body. It will be on display for two years starting August 6, along with at least a dozen other items from Presley's estate. For more information, visit themim.org.

twenty years ago I started a small business that was really more of a hobby than a business. I manufactured a couple of products that have, over the years, developed a substantial customer following. I never trademarked the name of these products. Now I find that someone has started to make a similar product, has appropriated my product name as his own, and is going after my customer base. Having a twenty year history of using this name, do I have any recourse in making him stop using my product name?
This is a food product and is now shipped all over the country. The business, although still small,is no longer a hobby.

Commercial Real Estate Attorney
Certainly. Trademark registration is not required for trademark enforcement, it merely is a sure way of proving the establishment of your mark (trade or servicemark) and may entitle you to greater damages. But by using the mark in commerce you establish a mark whether it is registered or not. The strength of the trademark will depend on the type of word you are talking about. Fanciful marks are coined terms specifically created to function as a mark. think of Polaroid, Canon and Xerox. These words were unknown to consumers before being created as marks. They are the strongest marks and are very protectable, meaning you probably can't use the word even if you are using it for a different product like "Polaroid T-Shirts" of "Exxon Fertilizer."Suggestive marks suggest qualities which are desirable for a product, but do not actually describe them. Think of "7-Eleven" for a convenience store, "Seventeen" for a teen magazine, or "Best Buy" for cheap electronics. Though not as strong as fanciful or arbitrary marks, suggestive marks are distinctive and highly protectable. Descriptive, surnames, and geographical marks which are merely descriptive of goods or services, are much weaker than fanciful, arbitrary or suggestive marks. To be protectable, these marks must have secondary meaning. That means that out in the marketplace when people hear that mark, they don't just think of the generic word, they think of the product. It is this "secondary meaning" that generates the most litigation. Our firm has represented many businesses, large and small, that have sought to enforce or defend against these types of lawsuits. From what you are telling us it sounds like you stand a great chance of success. Also, a declaratory judgment is almost always part of a trademark lawsuit. It is a court judgment that declares a company's right to use a particular mark; so it would be very valuable to you and your company.
Finally, you may have other remedies for "going after your customer base" if he is tortiously interfering with your contracts with your customers for example. You should take a stand and do so quickly to avoid confusion and loss of business in the marketplace. Good Luck.
Intellectual Property Law Attorney
As Oscar notes, you need not do anything other than use a trademark in commerce to acquire trademark rights. Registration of those rights with your state and/or the federal government provides many benefits but is not required. In short, trademark rights arise naturally as long as the word, design, or phrase that you "use in commerce" as a trademark is not the very name of the product being sold or describes the product or a key element of the product. A trademark attorney will be able to determine if you have developed trademark rights in the mark being used to brand your product.
Two key points:
(1) Trademark rights are geographical in scope. For example, it is lawful for one person to use Trademark X to sell certain goods in Florida while another uses the identical trademark to sell those same goods in Alaska. While the internet advertising of products has complicated the question of the scope of trademark rights, this principle is still firmly applicable. In short, determining the scope of trademark rights is sometimes a complicated question -- but which must be answered before concluding whether someone has "infringed" your rights.
(2) Trademark rights arise only if the mark is used in commerce. According to trademark law: "The term 'use in commerce' means the bona fide use of a mark in the ordinary course of trade, and not made merely to reserve a right in a mark." The rule is that the occasional sale of a product -- either in the course of a business or "as a hobby" -- does not rise to the level of the "ordinary course of trade" and so is insufficient to create trademark rights in the mark that is used on the product. Without more information about the extent of your use of the mark, no one can tell you if you have developed rights in the mark you have been using.
General information about trademarks and the registration process is available at from the US Patent and Trademark Office at http://www.uspto.gov/web/offices/tac/tmfaq.htm

Aeros Hockey: Fourth Place, No First Place, No Fouth Place (Or Second Place, Maybe)
John Royal What would a hockey game be without a fight, eh?
That moment happened on Saturday night when the Aeros defeated the Lake Erie Monsters 2-1 for their second win in two nights. With the win, the Aeros moved into a West Division first place tie with the Milwaukee Admirals that lasted as long as it took for the Aeros to blow a 2-0 first period lead yesterday in losing to the Toronto Marlies 4-2.
And with that loss, the Aeros were back where they had begun the weekend, back in fourth place (technically, they're tied for second). But in the grand scheme of things, even being in fourth place is a victory for this Aeros team. Especially if you view things from this perspective: Back on December 25, the Aeros were in seventh place, had dropped four straight and were in the midst of a scoreless string stretching across three games.
Since that time, the Aeros have won 10 of 15 games and earned points in 11 of the games. They've soared from the bottom of the standings to where they are now, which is one point out of first place.

The weekend started in Houston on Friday night when the Aeros defeated the Texas Stars 3-1. The Aeros, as has been the case since Christmas, were powered by Robbie Earl, Jon DiSalvatore and Patrick O'Sullivan. O'Sullivan assisted on two of the goals while DiSalvatore scored one goal and assisted on another while Robbie Earl got the game-winning goal. And goalie Matt Hackett stopped 30 of 31 shots to guarantee the win.
No player has seen as big an uptick in play since Christmas than Earl. In that 15-game span, he's scored 13 points with six goals and seven assists.
"I think he was getting a little bit worn down, not that he wasn't good, but I wouldn't say that he was as good," head coach Mike Yeo said on Friday night. "I think his game has gone to another level. Coming out of Christmas he was focused. He came into the office and said, 'What do I need to do, what do I need to do to take another step and be a leader on this team?' He's done it. He's been a great leader for us going out and his work ethic has been phenomenal, first and foremost. And when the work ethic is there, the skill is going to follow."
John Royal Matt Hackett keeps the puck in his sights Friday night
"We have to deal with it," Yeo said of this weekend's schedule. "It's in front of us. I think last weekend was a tough weekend, and we got through it well. Certainly we don't want to start looking at Sunday [in Toronto] and say that's going to be a tough game. We have to go in and approach that game tomorrow [Lake Erie] like it's the last game of the weekend. If we do that, I think we'll be ready to lay it on the line, and if we do that, then we give ourselves a good chance to win against a [Toronto] team that's been playing some awfully good hockey lately."
So the Aeros are no longer in first place. But the important thing to remember is this: They won two of three games this weekend and they've won ten of their last 15 games. And while they're in fourth place, they're only one point out of first place.
There are still 31 games left in the season, and the Aeros are by no means guaranteed a spot in the playoffs. But they're in a lot better shape than they were one month ago, and they're in a lot better shape than many observers thought possible at this time last month.
SOME MISCELLANEOUS NOTES: The Aeros next play on Wednesday night in Syracuse before returning to Houston for a game on Friday night against Abbotsford....The Aeros have won ten of 14 games at home since November 21, and have not lost in regulation in Houston since December 26....Robbie Earl was hit with a game misconduct for abuse of officials following the game -- though this abuse of officials supposedly consisted of nothing more than cracking his stick on the boards following what appears to have been another poorly officiated game....And one further note of importance, the Aeros are 21-7-0-3 when scoring first...the Aeros are tied in points for second points, but they are in fourth place due to their current winning percentage.

Jack Thom: The leftist pundits and Hillary supporters must be butt hurt, this man they claim is so unfit won all the online polls. Yet HRC had to prepare for a whole week for a debate with an amateur, not a political hack, or lawyer, yet she couldn't win one poll. Sad, really sad, biggly sad. She's been preparing.. what 26 years according to fact checkers, yet she doesn't know what C/c stands for, or not to destroy evidence after being supeoned by a Congressional committee.

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless (A909g) inkjet multifunction
HP's premium inkjet multifunction is a versatile alternative to colour laser printers
- Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, automatic duplex, touch-sensitive screen, inexpensive consumables
- Self-cleaning process renders it unusable for one to two minutes, feathered text in documents
Bottom Line
The HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless inkjet multifunction provides tough competition for budget colour laser printers, offering cheap consumables and plenty of features to suit the home or small office.
Price$ 499.00 (AUD)
Designed to compete with colour laser multifunctions on running costs and speed, the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless inkjet multifunction offers good quality printing, a comprehensive feature set and versatile connectivity. It is a great choice if you want low running costs without compromising on quality or features.
Resembling an Officejet Pro 8000 with an automatic document feeder attached, the HP Officejet 8500 Wireless has more features than you can poke a stick at. It has USB, Ethernet and Wi-Fi connectivity, as well an automatic duplex unit and touch-sensitive control panel. The integrated media card readers support SD, CompactFlash, xD, MMC, MemoryStick and MemoryStick Duo, and there is a PictBridge USB port as well.
Whereas Epson's Stylus Photo TX800FW relies on a single touch-sensitive panel to control all functions, HP has both a touch screen and buttons. Copy and fax functions can be initiated from the touch screen or buttons, as can the scan to email and scan to network folder functions; local scans and photo editing can only be done through the touch screen.
The multifunction uses a capillary tube system which separates the ink cartridges from the printhead. As a result, HP can use larger cartridges without making the printhead heavier; high yield cartridges are quoted at 1400 pages for each colour cartridge and 2200 pages for black ink. A consumables cost of 14.2c per A4 page makes the Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless cheaper to run than the Fuji Xerox DocuPrint C1190FS, though more expensive lasers often only cost 3-4c per page.
In order to stop ink from drying and clogging the capillary tubes, the multifunction regularly initiates a self-cleaning process. Unfortunately, this frequently happens between print jobs, rendering the printer unusable for one to two minutes. Scanning and faxing can't be conducted during this process, either.
The multifunction's Web interface offers detailed status information as well as in-depth fax, e-mail and, if the optional Bluetooth USB dongle is purchased, Bluetooth settings. The network folder scan preset is particularly welcome. It uses an existing shared folder on a networked computer or network-attached storage device.
It takes an average of 19sec for the HP Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless to print the first page of a document. It prints black and white documents at 22.7 pages per minute using draft quality and 14.6ppm using normal quality. Draft colour documents print at 22.9ppm, but the printer slows to 8.9ppm when using normal quality. The draft speeds are on par with mid-range laser multifunctions like the Brother MFC-9840CDW, but most lasers have consistent speeds between quality settings and the output of the Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless isn't as good.
Documents understandably have an "inky" look to them, resulting in feathered text and making 7pt text less readable than documents produced by laser printers. However, the HP Officejet Pro 8500 produces vibrant colours (although blues are slightly faded).
The quality of photos is good, but the 1200x1200dpi hardware print resolution causes a slight grain. There are no other problems with the photos, however, making the Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless suitable for printing the occasional snapshot.
Scans, which took an average of 1min 45sec during testing when scanning to a folder on the network, are highly detailed. The 4800dpi optical scan resolution suits photos as well as complex documents or graphics.
HP's Officejet Pro 8500 Wireless inkjet multifunction offers comprehensive functionality, although it has a premium price. Though the self-cleaning process may be irritating, it's hard to ignore the connectivity options and good cost per page.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Over at Poetic Bloomings, the prompt today is all about Heroes, real or imaginary, sung or unsung. I also think today is about courage; the acknowledgement of courage.
Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.
~ Winston Churchill
One of the most compelling characteristics of Heroes is that their response typically is "I was just doing my job." Or, it sometimes is "I did nothing different than anyone else would have done." If you really step back and listen, more often than not, you will hear yourself saying those very words in response to heartfelt gratitude by another. While life is a gift, it takes a great amount of personal courage to make something of it. Courage is a basic human virtue that renders us dauntless in the face of adversity. Adversity, as you well know, comes in all shapes and sizes these days.
Let me share with you 12 every day actions that each require a good doze of courage:
- The courage to take responsibility: It is too easy to place blame on others when situations do not work out well. When you own the responsibility in spite of the fear of consequences, that is courage.
- The courage to live with integrity: It is too easy to take the easy street some times even though they conflict from your inner values. When you stick to your path and your core beliefs despite the hardship, that is courage.
- The courage to challenge "Your Stories": It is too easy to insist that your interpretation of the world is the only truth. When you are willing to question your beliefs and assumptions, that is courage.
- The courage to dream bigger: It is too easy to confine our dreams to the limits of our personal experience. When you dare yourself to dream big and reach for the unknown potential beyond, that is courage.
- The courage to be who you are: It is too easy to succumb to the pressures of society to be within the norm. When you express your genuine authentic self, that is courage.
- The courage to speak up: It is too easy to fall prey to group think and passively react to the injustices about you. When you dare yourself to speak up and voice your concerns against popular opinion, that is courage.
- The courage to step boldly into action: It is too easy to fear failure and become inactive and ineffective. When you fear regret more than you fear failure, that is courage.
- The courage to persevere: It is too easy throw you hands up and throw in the towel in this day and age. When you reach within to harness that last ounce of resolve and surge forth unsure of success, that is courage.
- The courage to say "No": It is too easy to agree in a society that relies on compliance. When you refuse and define your boundaries, that is courage.
- The courage to open your heart fully: It is too easy to shield the heart in a world full of antagonism and apathy. When you open your heart to life's pain as well as its joy, that is courage.
- The courage to let go: It is too easy to try to control every moment and every outcome in our lives. When you give up resisting what you can't control and go with the flow of life, that is courage.
- The courage to be a leader: It is too easy to decide to only concern yourself with your own fate. When you take on the welfare of others as they follow your shining light, that is courage.
The Red Poppy
By: Meena Rose
I wonder if anyone will notice;
I wonder if anyone will care
That I no longer festoon myself
With a red poppy lapel pin.
My remembrances and my goodbyes;
London burning and the endless cries;
The Blitz – the ever present fear
That Judith and our unborn child survived.
My remembrances and my goodbyes;
My anger, my dread, my sorrow, my grief;
All things to be honored privately;
I am the last of those who remember
What it was like to be at brink of
Oblivion and what it was like to
Look the enemy in the eye and
Offer up a prayer for their mothers
As I snuffed the light out of their sons
Never once wavering till it was all done;
With each kill, I lost a piece of my heart;
With each kill, I prayed less and less;
With each kill, I lost pieces of humanity
Becoming a man-beast who was bone weary
Man wanting to go home and wondering if
There was still a home to return to.
And then, just like it started, it ended;
We, as a world, remembered lessons
That I now feel are long forgotten;
Our nations forever at the ready to
Descend into war's hellish embrace;
Our remembrance, mere lip service;
Can we turn this holiday sideways,
Recognize the service and teach peace?

Truth, faith, hope collide in Milwaukee Rep's 'How the World Began'
You can take as gospel truth that when a high school biology teacher in rural Kansas tells a classroom of students that creationism is "gobbledygook," there's going to be an uproar.
That's not exactly what Susan Pierce said to her students, but it's close enough to offend 16-year-old Micah Staab, for whom every word in the Book of Genesis is true.

Big Sean fumbles the flow at Rave show
Even the most dedicated hip-hop fan might have to admit that rap shows are not usually known for their excellent pacing.
Songs die just as they're getting started; shout-outs take the place of choruses or, although this is rarer, the performer follows a whim and recruits female fans to compete in an informal contest of callipygous qualities. »Read Full Article

Adaptation au stress chez les entérobactéries
Keywords : Escherichia coli, Salmonella Typhimurium, Fe/S biogenesis, Stress response, sncRNA, Methionine Sulfoxide reductase.
Bacterial stress adaptation is the underlying theme of studies carried out in the group. Proteins containing Fe/S centers are key players in bacterial stress response as Fe/S centers are both targets and generators of oxidative stress. Deficiencies in building Fe/S centers cause severe defects in any organism, including pathological disorders in humans. Because Fe/S centers are so reactive, their biogenesis requires complex machineries to make and deliver them to their final destination, the apo-targets. Our studies aimed at understanding how E. coli manages to carry out Fe/S biogenesis under different growth conditions. Studying Salmonella virulence offers an other model to study microbiol stress adaptation. Our current investigations aim at understanding how Salmonella resists oxidative and nitrosative stresses when it grows into macrophages. Role of the type-three-secretion system in Salmonella multiplication is also addressed. Our next studies will be adding imaging technology to our genetic and molecular expertises.

Most Helpful
Loved, loved, loved this! Nice balance of lemon to watermelon.
I had a bunch of leftover watermelon, was looking for a simple recipe to use it. This was the perfect choice! It tastes very watermelon-y, not like lemonade, but still quite good. Very, very easy to make.

Take Action: Thank EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy for Standing Up for Science
On Monday, U.S. EPA administrator Gina McCarthy delivered a speech at the National Academy of Sciences. In her remarks, Administrator McCarthy rebuked critics who have been attempting to deny and discredit reputable, peer-reviewed science and research. As Administrator McCarthy spelled out, their efforts are really aimed at blocking the EPA from protecting our air, water, and lands. The EPA has been relentlessly attacked by pro-polluter members of Congress trying to cast a shadow of doubt over the agency's work.
Send Gina McCarthy a note to say thank you for defending sound science -- and to let her know we've got her back.

INfo on Polish P64 9X18

> INfo on Polish P64 9X18
November 28, 2006, 07:40 PM
Saw three of these in a local shop today. Look new with owner's manuals. Are they decent pistols as far as reliability, accuracy?
Price was $189

I tend to get confused with these and the FEG P-63, but I think the P-64 has a very heavy DA trigger which is very tough to work on.
In general, if you want a surplus handgun, the Makarov is where to look.
November 28, 2006, 08:05 PM
I had one for awhile. They are reliable, but not particularly accurate (probably a sight issue, mostly). They are also tiny and powerful so I liked mine.
Shooting the 9x18 round in such a small pistol is an experience that should not be missed. It's a lot of fun, but be careful where you put the fingers of your weak hand if you are using a two-handed grip. The muzzle-blast can sting you if your fingers are too far foreward.
That price is not terrible but see if you can get them down a bit. I remember paying a little less than that for mine, but forget the exact number. Something like $150, I think...
The trigger is a little weird. The first DA pull runs about 20lbs+ and the following SA pull is about 1.5lbs. It's easy to "double" if your trigger control is not perfect.
November 28, 2006, 09:35 PM
Run around, $150. tack driving accurate, heavy DA trigger, easy to fix buy a #18 ppk main spring from wolf (around $3.) Direct drop in fit. The poles claim they did not copy the PPK, but it's "very similar". Great gun, all steel, deep sexy blue, one of the best value's out there on a 9x18. Check out this site for more info :
Here's a link to my post.
November 28, 2006, 09:58 PM
There's a member around here who's knowledgeable about these. It's M2Carbine, I think is his userid. I bought 2 of these P-64s and they're nice, well-made guns, fully suitable for carry. The Makarovs are a better fit, IMO. I do recommend reading up at the P-64 Resource board. Lots of valuable information there. Mine are 1968 and 1973 vintages.
November 28, 2006, 10:01 PM
Actually I thought they were Makarov's until I read a little on them tonight. Are they smaller?
November 28, 2006, 10:05 PM
Are they smaller?
Marginally. And that's due largely to the shorter butt and (slightly) shorter barrel. You might say the two use the same design principles. Nevertheless, they're good buys for the money.
November 28, 2006, 10:08 PM
Which is more shootable, and is 9X18 hard to come by?
November 28, 2006, 10:30 PM
Ammo availablility is not really consistant. I can easily find a good steady supply of Sellier & Bellot, but this is premium stuff and costs nearly as much as 9x19. The Russian stuff coming into the country now is cheaper and I can usually dig it up at gunshows. The Makarov is the easiest to shoot. Sights are better (but still not up to modern "combat" standards).
November 29, 2006, 12:02 AM
The P 64 is a great little pocket pistol. Accurate and powerful but use 95 grain bullet loads nothing heavier, the 115 grain HP Mak loads punish the gun and the shooter.

SCHOOLS MAY BE CLOSED for the summer, but Mayor Nutter and Gov. Corbett still have some homework to do: They need to find an exit strategy for Superintendent Arlene Ackerman.
That means reaching a financial settlement with her, appointing an interim executive and conducting a thorough search for a replacement.
This would not be the first time a superintendent has been forced out (Michael Marcase under Mayor Bill Green; David Hornbeck under Mayor John Street, and Paul Vallas, under the School Reform Commission).

Dr. Dre, "Compton" review

While you may be avoiding your friends so they don't nominate you to dump ice water on your head, every single celebrity ever has stepped up to the plate and gotten a little damp in the name of ALS awareness.
By MICHAEL LIEDTKE and RYAN NAKASHIMA CUPERTINO, Calif. (AP) — Apple is striking a new chord with a $3 billion acquisition of Beats Electronics, a headphone and music streaming specialist that also brings the swagger of rapper Dr.
Now that L.A. Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been banned from the National Basketball Association for life, the fate of the team is up in the air.
Hip-hop has never felt more mainstream than with Alex Trebek's awkward, yet surprisingly good, rapping Monday night on Jeopardy. The category "It's a Rap" found Trebek spitting listless lines from classic rap songs like Notorious B.I.G.'s "Juicy," the Beastie Boys' "No Sleep til Brooklyn," songs by Dr.
After a year of releases that brought new Jay Z, new Kanye West and a number of breakout stars, 2014 is shaping up to look just as interesting.
Kendrick Lamar and Dr. Dre famously teamed up for the track "Compton" from Lamar's lauded release "good kid, m.a.a.d. city," and now the duo are back in the spotlight together.
2012 was a paramount year for hip-hop music. Fresh faces to the rap game like Kendrick Lamar churned out classic albums ("Good Kid, M.A.A.D City") while a legend like Nas had the streets buzzing with his critically acclaimed release "Life is Good." Now, 2013 is shaping up to be a great year for rap releases.
While Snoop Dogg did not disappoint with a performance rife with his singles at Comfort Dental Amphitheatre on Friday night, the only signs of his new persona, "Snoop Lion," were the last vestiges of Bob Marley's "Jammin' " as Snoop exited the stage.
Snoop Dogg made headlines after his April appearance at Coachella with longtime collaborator Dr. Dre, though the buzz was largely on account of a guest hologram appearance by the late Tupac Shakur.
UPDATE 1/13/11: Passes for both the first and second weekend of this year's festival have sold out in less than three hours, according to the promoter.

Alex Gibney's pic debuted at Tribeca fest
Magnolia Pictures has snagged U.S. rights to Alex Gibney's untitled Eliot Spitzer docu, one of the buzz titles of the 2010 Tribeca film fest.
Deal marks the fifth time Magnolia has pacted to distribute a Gibney pic, following "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room," the recent release "Casino Jack and the United States of Money" and the upcoming "Freakonomics," to which Gibney contributed one seg.
Doc was produced by A&E Networks' A&E IndieFilms along with Wider Film Projects; A&E will air the cable preem of the movie after the theatrical and homevid release. No dates have yet been set.
Docu, still untitled, focuses on Spitzer's rise and fall in New York politics, examining not only his transactions with the prostitution ring that contributed to his public downfall but also concurrent political tides at work. Movie's single screening at Tribeca, where a nearly-finished cut was shown, attracted the fervent interest of the hometown aud and earned some local media attention.
Given the story's New York-centric subject matter, some in the industry wondered whether the doc had a broad enough appeal to warrant a theatrical release, while others believed the Spitzer scandal had achieved enough national prominence to attract theatergoers.
Distribution deal was negotiated by Magnolia senior veep Tom Quinn with John Sloss and Victoria Cook for Cinetic Media, Molly Thompson of A&E Indie Films and Todd and Jedd Wider of Wider Film Projects.
