You know that wigs less birds could not fly and birds with free wings could fly more distance and hence some bird even fly hours and miles together and reach the place and migrate for reproduction around the world. We have number places for bird sanctuary in Tamil Nadu, India and every year birds from various countries even come here and shelter for their reproductive activities and stay here till the children are also able to fly with them such a long distance and reach their place of origin. See sisters birds too feel for a safer and comfortable place for their reproductive activity and see the poor women are driven out of their homes and houses even at the time of pregnancy and natal periods. The reproductive nature is a such a blessing for women and we need a peaceful and a joyful period of love and affection during this period of pregnancy and natal and how many women are happy during their period of pregnancy and natal?
Human mind such a fragile property and it is comprised of emotions and intelligence. Human beings expect love affection, safety, security and sense of humor. Women are not exceptions to these feelings and emotions. But at the same time exploitation over women at the cost of their emotions, sorry we can not allow the same.
Women become nest less or shelter less because of their emotional weakness and tolerance for any type of atrocities and violence on them due to the reasons of emotional dependency on others especially on husband, children and the kith and kins. At this point of vulnerability the women are deceived and sent out of home or house and made to live in crisis. Women are facing such homelessness at the following circumstances.
• Change in marital status - when they become widows or on divorce. • Status of women as single women e.g. unmarried daughters. • Old age is often insecure and troublesome for women who have to depend solely on their children or survive at the mercy of the State. • Customs and traditions that outcast women from the social system e.g. a woman declared as a witch will be forced to leave or be thrown out of family and be regarded as an outcast, thereby depriving her of her basic right to life, which includes housing. • Customs and traditions that do not recognise women's contribution as productive. • Absence of laws, policies and programmes that are sensitive towards women and the aged. • Lack or absence of institutional support in times of distress and homelessness. • Laws that deny women legal security of tenure. • Lack of gender-sensitive laws and policies on rehabilitation and resettlement. • Credit facilities that discriminate against women.
While these circumstances apply to some or more women the first and foremost condition they face is the homelessness. Women in most of the countries arround the world are facing similar situations and only few women are not able to resotre to the normal life or live in permanent trauma till the end. The social arrangements for helping the women in distress is the timely help and the legal help is the permanent help for the homeless women and she needs a safe place for her shelter and further lilfe. We need to voice for strengthening the law and the social supports to these women. We are human beings the higher animal and stand better than the birds. Is it not?
Bagirathi Ramanathan
Bagirathi Ramanathan, It is important for everyone to have a sanctuary. It is important for us to not only have a physical sanctuary but also a mental and emotional one. Once we feel safe in all sanctuaries we can truly grow in a positive way. If these sanctuaries aren't provided for us we'll have to find them on our own, which can seem to be impossible at times. But as the birds who flock together, to find a place for rest, eating, and reproduction, us women need to do the same. We need to travel this voyage together to find and even demand shelter. For if birds can't find a place in the world where they can find shelter they would soon and rapidly die off. Thus, we have to use this idea for womens rights too, where womens needs, issues, and wants need a sanctuary or they'll fade away as well. -Carri Pence
Dear carri Pence Thank you verymuch for your comments. Yes women should raise themselves at the time of cisis and find their own nests and homes. This is the idea behid my voice and I am happy that women like you arround the globe are there to help the women to raise themselves and work for women rights and gender equality and equity under the sky. Thank you verymuch for your comments and enourage our women to work for the cause and join together with their high voice for women rights and justice which ever the nation and society they belong to. we are one and we work with onness and helpout the women in distress and establish their rights under the sky. Bagirathi Ramanathan
I love the passion that you have. May this passion cause a community of women in your community that will fight for equality, in every aspect, for women. Thank you!

Billboard changes "Shake" up Top of the Charts
This week Billboard announced a change to its Hot 100 formula for chart methodology that now incorporates YouTube views alongside radio play, digital sales and online radio play. The result finds a song that rose to popularity due much to its own YouTube video falling to a chart newcomer that found success as the basis of the biggest current Internet meme. Take a look below to find out the full scoop and the jump back to find out which songs were the biggest hits this week in 2007, 1997, 1987 and 1977.

Imagine Dragon's diverse sound helps sell out Eagles Ballroom
The folk revival and dubstep are two of the hottest trends in music right now. One harks back to simpler times with group singing and rustic instruments like banjos. The other, with its alien, bass-heavy, chest-pounding electronic beats, is like music from the future.
You couldn't find two sounds that are more different. But one band, Imagine Dragons, has channeled them both. The first single, "It's Time," starts with hand claps and mandolin, leading up to a sweeping, synth-swelling, modern rock chorus. The second single, "Radioactive," goes in a different direction, reverberating with steady dubstep-style thumping infused with melodic passages and urgent mass vocals. »Read Full Article

After posting one of the most impressive stat lines during this past season on the gridiron 2012 RB Blake Hayes vaulted to the top of our position rankings at running back for 2012. Hayes was a huge threat running and receiving out of the backfield for coach Kent Haltwinger and the Generals.
Since we announced that Hayes was our #1 RB prospect in the state for the 2012 cycle more and more big time schools have been in contact with the Wade Hampton standout. He spoke with SCPrepNation.com recently to give us a quick update on just who has been making contact and where he's been to visit since our last interview.
"There's been a lot of schools contacting me lately. Florida has been sending me the most stuff lately though. I haven't taken any other visits besides to South Carolina before. I will be visiting both South Carolina and Georgia Tech in June though," Hayes said.
Hayes paired with 2011 WR Hakeem Flowers it gives the Generals two explosive players who can take it the distance anytime the ball is in their possession. The plan for next season is to open up the offense instead of running out of the wing-T formation that they have in recent years. The plan should provide many headaches for opponents and plenty of options for the Generals' quarterback Capers Williamson.
Stay tuned to SCPrepNation.com as we'll have the very latest information regarding Blake Hayes and other top prospects from across the Palmetto State.

Tips for Selecting a Moving Company
Moving can be one of the most stressful experiences a family or an individual undergoes. From lost property to broken glassware and mislabeled household boxes, packing up all your earthly belongings and hauling them across State lines or even cities can be a form of torture if not handled properly. The best moving companies saw this gap in the market and realized that they could provide homeowners with a seamless moving experience. One where you do not have to bear the brunt of it all by yourself.
Professional movers make everything easier. Not only do they immaculately pack everything for you, but they also help you unpack and place everything right where you want it at the new location. This is what a good moving company does. However, it is not uncommon for individuals to still have bad moving experiences. Not choosing the right moving company can lead to just as much stress, if not more, than trying to move everything yourself. Here are some Tips for Selecting a Moving Company that should help ensure the best experience possible when moving.
Tips for Selecting a Moving Company
Go for experience
Moving requires a lot of logistical acuities. Some of these tricks can only come with experience. Finding a moving company that has been in business for a long time will ensure that you have experienced movers who understand the whole process. Additionally, the fact that they have been in business for a long time means that customers have been trusting them with their household belongings for a while. No mediocre moving company can survive and stay in business if they can't deliver what they promise.
Look them up online
Today almost every business has an online presence. The best thing about that is that their reputation is also online. You can easily look up real life reviews and customer experiences online. Any moving company that offers great service will have excellent reviews online. Of course, there are always a few odd or negative experiences. But if you want to be certain, all you have to do is ask the company for references. Make sure to call and find out for sure if the moving company is to be trusted.
Are they a legitimate business?
Moving companies require licenses and insurance covers. To protect yourself and your property, make sure that you choose a company that is both licensed and insured. In the United States, companies that move people interstate have what is known as a US DOT number. This is the license they get from the Department of Transportation. Make sure that the DOT number is valid before trusting them with your personal property.
One of the best and most reliable Tips for Selecting a Moving Company is to find one that is active in the community. Most companies that take the time to bond with the community and companies that intend to stay in business for a while. Which means the local opinion matters. Which in turn means that they will go out of their way to take care of you so that you can come and share the great experience with everyone else. Whichever way you look at it, this is good for your moving experience.

RICHMOND, Va. — Plans to expand Medicaid in Virginia may not be dead on arrival at the General Assembly, but they're struggling for life support.
"It's such a big new entitlement at a time when we need to be looking hard at the cost of entitlements," House Speaker William Howell told Watchdog.org in an interview.
Howell and his fellow Republicans, who hold a veto-proof lock on the House and regained a majority in the Senate, rebuffed efforts to expand Medicaid last session.

RANCHO CUCAMONGA, Calif. — A 10-year-old boy has been recognized by law enforcement officials in San Bernardino County for his efforts to improve safety at his school bus stop, KABC reports.
Sterling Vieau noticed that many cars and trucks were not stopping at the intersection where his bus stop is located, so he conducted a survey with his mother. He told the news outlet that they went to the stop at different times during the day for 15 minutes, and they would tally which cars stopped and which did not. Vieau found that 67% of the vehicles didn't stop, despite posted signs, San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon told the news outlet. (The boy took his findings to the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department upon completion of the survey.)
Last week, Vieau was recognized for his efforts to improve safety at his school bus stop with a certificate from the sheriff's department, which was presented to him at school by McMahon and other sheriff's department officials.
Deputies also handed out a number of citations to motorists who failed to stop at the intersection.

On Thursday, December 3, our Regular Program Meeting, entitled Train Transporting Hazardous Substances, featured a discussion about hazardous materials being transported via rail through our yards, schools and playgrounds. Gerri Songer, a member of the Sierra Club Woods and Wetlands Group and contact for Energy Transport and Infrastructure, outlined the need for better regulations and more safety measures.
In May of 2014, Ms. Songer began attending Village meetings after seeing an increased presence of trains at all hours of the day and questioned what they were carrying. Through public records, she learned these trains were transporting toxic, hazardous, and explosive substances, and her research showed that many trains have met with accident and created hazardous runoff.
For those who missed the presentation, or for those who are otherwise interested, the program included a slide presentation, which can be found at the students4democracy.net website, and here. Ms. Songer also presented information on the Stop Fukushima Freeways campaign. You can learn more about the campaign and find a link to the full slide presentation by clicking here.

Skip to comments.Notice: FR is and will remain a pro-life, small government conservative site.
Posted on 04/10/2012 12:29:15 PM PDT by Jim Robinson
To hell with the GOP-e. Barring a miracle, they got their big government, unconstitutional mandate loving, socialist abortionist Obama-lite RINO on the ballot, they can now get him elected.
We are the resistance!!
Shove him down our throats today, we shove him up your donkeys in November!!
I can see November from my house!!
The President is NOT King!
Romney will not take the Czarist, anti-constitutional approach to implementing the destruction of America, the way Obama IS.
Romney's sin were opportunistic patronization, NOT ideological hatred for America.
Romneycare was a State level experiment that failed, and he has clearly stated his intent to overturn Obamacare.
Romney is now Pro-Life. Many of today's strongest Pro-Life advocates were once abortionists themselves. Too bad your bias won't allow for that.
Judicial appointments were constrained by what was possible.
I guess I'd ask you, why you let your bias blind you to the certain ruin of America under Obama?
Apparently satire seems beyond you as well. AB was a great guy. He was wrong on occasion as well.
BTW, why are you hanging out in a place you detest?
The "idiots" are those proclaiming they are through trying to defeat Obama.
At this point, if you don't vote for Romney, you are NOT trying to defeat Obama.
Staying home or meaningless protest votes are NOT trying to defeat Obama.
You obviously think Obama is better. Go for it!
Little point discussing this. You obviously fear Obama to the exclusion of all else. So be it.
Otherwise, as happened to Ford in 1976 and Bush in 1996, conservatives back a primary challenger and, even though you win renomination, you are weakened and end up defeated for reelection.
A President Romney would be subject to the same political calculus.
I guess I'm alone. I'm going to vote for Romney. Not because I want to, but but because I have to. I'm just as conservative as the next person here, but frankly an unchecked second Obama term without him fearing re-election scares me to death.
Yours is the most logical post in this thread. Will Mittens keep talking conservative or will he make a 90 degree turn towards severely moderate to appease the centrists. If he starts talking liberal talk now that Rick has left the race, I will abstain in 2012, in spite of knowing Obama in 2nd term will be far more destructive of the country. I detest people who are undependable more than people who have a core belief even if it is not same as mine.
Amen! I'm glad to see someone here GETS IT!!
"I will march behind who ever our candidate is"
Do you see what you wrote? "Our candidate"?
Are you a republican or a Conservative?
I think the point so many "vote for Romney because he is THE nominee" people here are missing is that FR is NOT a Republican website.
Not just TX. We in CA and a bunch of other states get screwed too. Why can't we have a fairer primary system?
Thank you! I think we're just upset. I am too! I got in a really bad funk and quit Newt's campaign after the Florida primary. I though 'well, what's the point?! You give voters some good candidates and they turn around and vote for the most liberal one?!' It's ridiculous, but Ive seen what third parties do to electorate counts...especially popular candidates!
No one wields as much power as the presidency- in one single decision-making body. You can take the most conservative candidates to have ever existed and stick them in congress. It's still not going to have the focus of message as a single conservative in the White House.
The only chance we have is to remind Romney- assuming he wins in November- that we are the reason he's there.
"FR is NOT a Republican website."
And I'm not a Republican. I'm a profound Conservative. But I will vote for the Republican nominee if that is the only way to deny Obama a second term. If he gets re-elected it will mean the destruction of this great country we all love so much.
"Swallow your pride and help save this country!!!!"
Are you saying vote for Romney to save the country?
Voting for Romney to save the country is like throwing an anchor to a drowning man.
That is very likely to happen. Time will tell. If that's the case, time will tell how those fellow conservatives who back Romney now will react to it. I hope I don't hear them go so far as make excuses for his leftward shift.
Then by all means vote for Obama!
Or ... Then by all means sit it out... and re-elect Obama!
It's not extremist to believe as you do. I believe in the constitution and life as well. But you guys are utopian, wishing only to have things exactly as we want them. We will elect a president in nov and it looks like the nominees are a truly evil commie who hates us and a weasely unpleasant liberal moderate.
The heroic act of not stopping evil isn't all that heroic. Letting a drunk driver crash into your car and kill your kids just so you can say it wasn't your fault, when you could have swerved to avoid it, is no win.
Good points. None of these anti-Romney guys and gals are our enemies - we're all on the same side. I'm anti-Romney too! But the most important thing right now, as I see it is... I'm MUCH more... and emphatically so - anti-Obama!
It will be up to Republicans in Congress and at the state level to stop him.
And, why would you trust Romney, who believes in man-made global warming, to do any better a job with the EPA?
It's not Utopian. Look at the list of Romeny's greatest hits I posted back a few posts. Each and every one of those has an Obama counterpart. And that's just a fraction of the shared views they have.
So whats the difference? Seriously, please help me understand why it's OK for Mitt to do the EXACT same things we condemn Obama for. Does it matter that one is a Marxist Jihadi wanabee and one's a garden variety lib when the end result is the same? Because the end result is all that matters.
Is destroying America OK because the guy doing it claims to be Republican "by voter ID only"? I don't think it does. In fact I KNOW it does not.
"It will be up to Republicans in Congress and at the state level to stop him."
And that has been working just peachy so far, huh! Gimme a break!
What ever happened to the adults? Personally, I'm not a one issue voter and I have enough patience to not expect 100 years of stead fast liberal gains to be over turned in a single election. But you go ahead and take your ball and go home.
I didn't leave FR, FR left me just like the rnc did.
"If he gets re-elected it will mean the destruction of this great country we all love so much."
You know what? Obama is not really the core problem with America.
The core problem is all the looters who vote for him. Even when he is gone, the looters remain.
No, I will NOT vote for a man who panders to the looters just to gain office. That means I won't be voting for Obama OR Romney.
We the PRODUCTIVE people of this land WILL survive, even if the country does not.
Did you ever consider that the country we love so much doesn't exist anymore? It may already be dead, sir.
You need to calm down and get a grip on yourself. Your posts sound like those of a person who is scared.
This is not a time for fear, it is a time for courage.
I agree.
Good one Jim.
Enough RINOs are enough.
It's the RINO that broke the camel's back.
Spare the rod - spoil the RINO.
RINO me once (twice, three times)shame on you. RINO me four times shame on me.
"Then by all means vote for Obama!"
I have no intentions of voting for Obama.
"That means I wont be voting for Obama OR Romney."
Uh, no... That means you'll be re-electing Obama!
Those are the "facts". Anyone attempting to rationalize a vote for MR as a being a 'conservative' or a 'conservative thing' after reading them is practicing doublespeak of Orwellian proportions.
You iZ or you ain't. And voting for MR can in no way be justified as such. It flies in the face of everything conservatism stands for.
"So whats the difference?"
Obviously they're the same to you so you might as well just vote for Obama and be happy with it. Unfortunately, there are no perfect candidates. Just the lesser of two evils. Sad fact of life.
"You know what? Obama is not really the core problem with America."
Ha! You want fries with that Whopper?
"Uh, no... That means youll be re-electing Obama!"
Arguing with you Romneybots is like playing chess against a pigeon - no matter how well I play, all the pigeon is going to do is knock over the pieces, crap all over the board and strut around like he is winning.
I don't drink.
Socialism is THE DESTRUCTION OF AMERICA. Romney supports socialism.
Thus, they are cut from the same cloth. One is just more radical than the other.
Are you capable of a thought other than "You're voting for Obama"? Do things like factual information and historical reality offend you?
As a Navy Dad, do you believe in defending the right to vote for people we believe in or just the ones you approve of?
You know what? Obama is not really the core problem with America.
Ha! You want fries with that Whopper?
actually they are right. Obama is not the core problem. He is the symptom. The problem is the people willing to vote for someone like Obama.
There will ALWAYS be people like Obama trying to obtain power. It's up to us, the voters, to determine who we should, or should not vote for.
"You know what? Obama is not really the core problem with America.
Ha! You want fries with that Whopper?"
So you think that when we get rid of Obama we can just sit back and relax?
Just keep knocking over the pieces.
Nik, this is the result of critical thought being stricken from America's education system.
"Nik, this is the result of critical thought being stricken from Americas education system."
The sad thing is, it has been that way for the past several generations.
Now you're sounding like a Lib - reverting to namecalling. I've already said many times I'm no Ronmey fan. You must have conveniently missed that.
"One is just more radical than the other."
Exactly! And when presented with the lesser of two evils...
The OP stated the definition of a conservative that most here agree with and support.
The influx of Romney-bots of deriding the folks here because they will never vote for Romney will not change that fact.
Thumbs up to that post. Dead right you are!
No fear, no vote, unless there is someone worthy, and at the current time there is none. This country was founded on people that were willing to give their lives for what they believed, and yet so many are willing to sell their souls to vote for a person/party they don't believe in to possibly shut down another person/party they don't believe in. It truly is a time for courage. No fear, no vote! Conservatives speak up!
"Arguing with you Romneybots is like...
Now you're sounding like a Lib - reverting to namecalling. I've already said many times I'm no Ronmey fan. You must have conveniently missed that."
Then why are you crapping on the board?
"Only way this ends is we ban together and get Newt as the nominee somehow."
As much as some here think I'm for Romney, if you can pull that off, I'll be with you 100%! Otherwise, I will vote for Romney over Obama.

Going into this weekend, a split on the road against the Mountain schools looked like the most probable outcome for the Stanford Cardinal, as the Farm Boys were three-point 'dogs on Thursday night. But after a 74-50 thumping of Tad Boyle's Colorado Buffaloes, a split would be extremely disappointing.
That's because the team on the back-end of this two-game
roadie is Utah, a squad that has been in a world of hurt since the season
started. At 5-22 and 2-13 in conference play, it would appear that the Runnin'
Utes would offer little-to-no resistance to a Stanford team fresh off a 24-point
beat-down of a team that is in the running for a first-round bye in the Pac-12
Not so fast though. I'm sure everyone reading this article
remembers well the gruesome 68-65 victory for Stanford over Utah in Maples
Pavilion last month. Although the Farm Boys came out victorious, it was probably
their worst performance of the season. Five for 17 free-throwing and 18
turnovers for Stanford in that game - hell, if Utah had hit more than half of
its free throws, the Runnin' Utes would have won the damn thing! Instead, Utah
was 1-9 as a team from the charity stripe and fell in what was their best road
performance of the season (Utah has yet to win a road game this
Another thing about the Huntsman Hunks - they play HARD; if only
the Phil Matthews-led USF Dons of the late-'90s and early 2000's could lend
Krystkowiak their shooting shirts! Colorado only knocked off the Runnin' Utes
last weekend by seven points for a reason, and it wasn't because Colorado played
terribly (we've been through what happened the first 12 minutes of that game,
but outside of that, Colorado wasn't all that bad). Utah made everything
difficult on the Buffaloes and forced them to work for every bucket that wasn't
out of a timeout set. Colorado was clearly the better team, but Utah certainly
had their moments.
They got into a good rhythm offensively in the second
half. Jason Washburn was a handful down low, finishing nicely and quickly around
the basket en route to a 16-point, 10-rebound performance. The guy has touch and
is pretty skilled. I still think he's a little slow and that he needs work on
the defensive end, but he can certainly be a pill on the offensive end.
The Runnin' Utes were also pretty effective from downtown, hitting six
of their first 14 three-point attempts before missing their final five. Now to
be fair, they did bank in two threes in the first half, and neither was
intentional - Dijon Farr's offering from the left wing was simply completely off
target and Chris Hines' banker came from just about even with the basket on the
right baseline. I've seen that shot made once before in my life, and it was from
somebody who didn't come close to making the cut on our high school basketball
team (but who am I to speak- I got cut too and it wasn't even
There is one big difference on the Utah team from when Stanford
played the Utes last - their leading scorer has been sent packing. That's Josh
"Jiggy" Watkins, who was averaging a cool 15.6 points and 4.8 assists per game.
The Pac-12's very own Khalid El-Amin allegedly got the boot for repeating
similar actions that got him suspended for one game earlier in the season, which
included sleeping through class and being late to practice, according to this
Salt Lake City Tribune Article.
I interviewed Krystkowiak less than a week before he kicked Watkins off the
team, and in hindsight, I realize that I sort of sensed that Coach K wasn't a
big Watkins fan. I asked him what Watkins meant to the team beyond the points
and assists stats, and he pretty much just described how Watkins scores and
drops dimes. You can re-read the Q&A - maybe I'm reading too much into it,
because he does compliment Watkins quite a bit - but he wasn't exactly
heaping praise on his all-everything like you would expect most coaches
In any case… Without their go-to, who was going to pick up the
Junior guard Chris Hines has done his best filling the shoes left
behind by Jiggy, averaging 11.5 points per game since Watkins has been gone. And
regardless of how ugly Hines' three may have looked against Colorado in that one
instant, the Ute actually leads the conference in three-pointers made per game
in conference games only at 2.5 per contest. In contrast, Cardinal fans probably
remember him more for his ability to get to the rack at will on Stanford en
route to 21 points. He certainly has the capability of scoring from anywhere on
the court.
Cedric Martin has also picked up his scoring, averaging more
than 12 points in the last five games leading up to this weekend. He has also
helped out in the assists category, where Watkins also left a gaping hole,
combining for 12 assists and just one turnover in the two previous games leading
up to Thursday's 60-46 loss against Cal (what nobody is talking about: both Cal
men's and women's basketball teams beat Utah's men's and women's basketball
teams by a score of 60-46 on Thursday night. How often has that
The other guy helping out with the dimes is the true freshman
Kareem Storey, who has started at the "1" since Watkins' dismissal. In those
starts, Storey is averaging 7.7 points and 5.0 assists while sporting a 1.6:1
assist-to-turnover ratio.
Utah is at their best when they muck it up, so
to speak - hold on to the ball for 20 seconds before getting into much offense
and limit the number of possessions the game can possibly have. They are at an
athletic disadvantage at every spot on the floor, so grinding the game to a halt
gives them the best chance to neutralize the opposition's comparative
And, although Utah will have its first losing record at home
in 38 years, Coach K's team has been pretty tough to beat at the Huntsman
Center. Washington State and Arizona State found that out harshly - the Cougars
lost in OT and the Sun Devils never had a chance, falling by 21. Colorado was
able to escape last weekend with a W. Same with Washington back in the second
weekend of conference play - the Utes were pretty much step-for-step with the
Pac-12 frontrunners the whole way before dropping the contest by four. Hell,
even Cal was tied with the Runnin' Utes at halftime.
Stanford should win,
and if Thursday is any indication, it shouldn't be close to being close. But
then again, Utah is perhaps the worst road team in a BCS conference and didn't
fall to the Cardinal until a last-second three point attempt was airmailed from
30-feet out.
As long as Stanford limits the turnovers and improves the
free-throw shooting as compared to the January 12 game against Utah, they should
be in good shape. But even those things being corrected won't mean a
double-digit road victory: Washington only committed eight turnovers against
Utah in Salt Lake City; Washington State only ten in 45 minutes; Colorado only
12 and shot 79 percent from the charity stripe.
In any case, a win for
the Cardinal puts them at 20 and clinches their first winning conference record
under the watchful eye of Johnny Dawkins. It also keeps Stanford in serious
contention for a top-half Pac-12 finish, which would mean avoiding having to
play Cal or Washington in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 tournament should
Stanford win its first round game.
Get ready for a potentially "ugly"
basketball game. Doesn't matter how it looks, though, as long as the Card can
complete the sweep.

Fred Hoiberg wants a more aggressive Bulls defense
Fred Hoiberg wants a more aggressive Bulls defense
Being a better defensive team was a prime objective for Fred Hoiberg coming into camp, as the Bulls hope to reclaim some of their defensive identity that disappeared last season.
Reciting a not-so-true stat routinely to reporters in the first few days, that the Bulls were last in forcing turnovers in 2015-16, means he's likely barking it to the team in practices (they were actually second-to-last behind the New York Knicks).
"Absolutely," said Hoiberg when asked if being more aggressive defensively is a goal. "We are turning the ball over way too much. After watching film, our defense is responsible for some of that. We have a guy in (Rajon) Rondo that's a high steals guy, got great hands, great instincts, great wingspan. Jimmy (Butler) is always had great anticipation and one of the top steals guy."
Butler is one of the best two-way players, along with San Antonio's Kawhi Leonard and Indiana's Paul George, but even he admitted his defense slipped last year as the Bulls fell to a middle-of-the-pack team in terms of advanced defensive rankings (15th).
[SHOP: Get up for the 2016-17 season, Bulls fans!]
Rondo was once one of the league's best defensive point guards before tearing up his knee his last full season in Boston, and averaged two steals last year in Sacramento, but gave up a career-high 107 points per 100 possessions, according to basketball-reference.com.
Whether Rondo was a function of a bad defense overall for the Kings or a player who no longer fully commits himself to that end remains to be seen, but it's clear Hoiberg wants a more hands-y defense. Too many times last year, the Bulls defense had leaks from the top down, resulting in compromised drives to the basket and breakdowns all around.
More than anything, the Bulls defense was one of indifference, especially after the first 30 games or so.
"Like all staffs we watched a ton of film and tried to figure out with this group how to create more turnovers, how to impact the ball better," Hoiberg said. "Every day it's been a big emphasis in our defense and we get out and force turnovers and make sure the help is there behind the trap and being aggressive on the ball."
Denzel Valentine a candidate for minutes at the point for Bulls
Denzel Valentine a candidate for minutes at the point for Bulls
The common refrain among coaches in the first days of training camp is "this guy had an incredible summer", a phrase Bulls coach Fred Hoiberg has said so much that even he had to laugh when asked who didn't have a banner summer period.
Of course, that's before fans and media get to see anyone play, so we can only speculate who'll win certain position battles, like the starting power forward spot or how deep Hoiberg's rotation will go.
So in the spirit of speculation, Bulls rookie Denzel Valentine's versatility makes him a candidate for the backup point guard position, a spot that is filled with different options for Hoiberg to choose from.
"He's such an instinctive player. He does a great job," Hoiberg said. "We talk about making simple plays. You've done your job when you beat your man, draw the second defender and make the easy, simple play. Denzel is great at that. That's not a gift that everybody has. That's not an instinct that all players have. But Denzel certainly has it."
One wonders if Valentine could find himself on the outside looking in at the start of the season, like Bobby Portis did last year before all the injuries hit the Bulls and forced him into action.
It's a different vision than when Valentine was drafted as a late lottery pick after a seasoned career at Michigan State. The Bulls hadn't signed Dwyane Wade or Rajon Rondo in free agency, and had traded Derrick Rose 24 hours before the draft, so the thought was Valentine could be an instant contributor.
Even still, Valentine can likely play anything from point guard to small forward, but hasn't gotten extensive reps at the point, yet.
"I've played on the wing so far. A little bit of point," Valentine said. "I got a couple reps on the point, but like 70-30. Seventy on the wing, 30 on the point."
[SHOP: Get up for the 2016-17 season, Bulls fans!]
He got an early jump on the Hoiberg terminology at summer league, so the language isn't a big adjustment, but having to learn multiple positions along with the tendencies of new teammates can mean a steeper learning curve.
"Yeah, I just got to continue learning sets and learning guys' strengths so that I can use that to their best advantage," Valentine said. "Play-make as best I can when I'm at the point guard spot. Just learning the system, learning guys' strengths, and then I'll be better at it."
The presence of Wade and Jimmy Butler, one of whom will likely anchor the second unit as Hoiberg will probably stagger minutes so each can have the requisite time and space, means even if Valentine were on the floor, he wouldn't have to be a natural point guard.
Hoiberg does, however, crave having multiple playmakers who can initiate offense or create shots off penetration or pick and roll action, meaning Valentine can work it to his advantage.
"I think he can. Jimmy played with the ball in his hands a lot last year," Hoiberg said. "Jimmy rebounds the ball and if Dwyane rebounds the ball, they're bringing it. Rajon if he's out there knows to fill one of the lanes. Denzel is an excellent passer. He's got such good basketball instincts. So if you can get guys out there who can make plays, that's what it's all about. I think you're very difficult to guard in this league when you have multiple ballmakers."
Other notes:
Dwyane Wade won't be taking walk-up triples for the Bulls, despite his call that Hoiberg wants him being more comfortable from behind the long line. Hoiberg does want him being willing and able to take corner threes, likely off guard penetration from Rondo or Jimmy Butler.
When Wade played with LeBron James in Miami, cutting from the corners became a staple, so putting him there could be an old wrinkle Hoiberg is adding to his scheme.
Wade took seven of his 44 3-pointers from the corner last season, hitting two from the right side, according to vorped.com.
"When he's open, especially in the corners, that's a shot we want him taking. It's a thing we worked on yesterday, making sure he stays on balance," Hoiberg said. "He's got a natural lean on his shot, which has been very effective, being on the elite mid range shooters in our game. That's allowed him to get shots over bigger defenders. When you get out further from the basket, especially by the line, you need to get momentum going in, work on your body position and work on finishing that shot. He's got good mechanics, it's a matter of finishing the shot."

Most of us who live in warm countries like India, Mauritius, Africa, Australia etc whenever we go to our Hindu temples during the month of Shravan, we notice the priests chanting Shiva Mantras and at the same time placing leaves which are trifoliate or triple form on the Shiva Lingam. I have often wondered why this is done and why this particular leaf is so sacred to Lord Shiva especially during Shravan month & decided to dig deeper into its religious & scientific significance.
Hindus believe that the knowledge of medicinal plants is older than history itself, that it was gifted hundreds of thousands of years ago to the Vedic Hindus by Lord Brahma, the divine creator himself. Thus when the Rishis of the Ayurveda sought to heal human suffering, they were able to draw on knowledge that had already been evolving for millennia in the forests of India. One tree about which they had a very deep knowledge was the Bilva tree. The science of Ayurveda values the Bilva highly for the medicinal properties contained in its root, fruit and leaves. According to Swami Sivananda, it is a healing tree which cures all diseases caused by vata (wind) and gives strength to the body.
More commonly known as the Bel Tree in India as well as other warm countries, this is a sacred tree having sacrificial importance and the first thing we can notice about the leaves is that they are generally trifoliate. This trifoliate leaf is symbolic of Trikaal or the Hindu Trinity of Devas known as Brahma Vishnu and Mahesh. The other names of this tree are Wood apple and its botanical name is Aegle marmilos. The Bilva leaf or Patra as it is known, represents the Trinetra or three eyes of Lord Shiva, the main aspects like Trishakti (volition, action and knowledge), the three Shiva lingams and the three syllables of AUM or Omkar and are most favourite of Lord Shiva. There are also five formed Bilva leaves known as PanchaDal patra found on some Bilva trees and these too are held as sacred for the worship of Lord Shiva. Bilva tree grows to a height of 8 meters with thorns. The leaves are alternate, ovate, trifoliate and aromatic. The tender leaves and shoots are consumed as salad greens. The flowers bloom in the month of May and will have a sweet fragrance.
It appears from all the Hindu texts and scriptures that the Bilva tree itself has been held very sacred and auspicious and is considered very holy since time immemorial thats its significance is mentioned in Mahapuranas in various forms of mantras. The Shiva Purana mentions a particular narration of how the usage of Bilva due to its scientific as well as medicinal properties is of great adavantage to Mankind. The 22nd Chapter of maha ShivaPurana narrates '' The trifoliate Bilva Patra is so sacred to Lord Shiva & is therefore a symbol of the Lord. Adored by all the Gods, its importance is difficult for anyone to comprehend. The sacred tree can only be known to a limited extent. Sacred sites of this Earth can only find their place at the root of this auspicious tree. Those who meditate upon Lord Mahadeva in His form of linga at the root of Bilva obtain Moksha & become purified souls by attaining Shiva. Such are the marvels of this sacred Bilva.''
The famous Shri Bilvashtakam (v. 6–7) mentions :
Lakshmyaascha stana utpannam Mahaadeva sadaa priyam,
Bilva vriksham prayachchhaami eka bilvam Shivaarpanam.
Darshanam bilva vrikshasya sparshanam paapanaashanam,
Aghorapaapasamhaaram eka bilvam shivarpanam.
The translation :
Born from the heart of Goddess Lakshmi, the Bilva tree is ever dear to Mahadeva. So I ask this tree to offer one Bilva leaf to Lord Shiva. Even if (one) has darshan ( view) of the Bilva tree, and touches it, surely frees one from sin. The most terrible karma is destroyed when a Bilva leaf is offered to Lord Shiva.
It is also believed that Lakshmi, the Goddess of Wealth, also lives in the bel tree. Those who perform the puja of Shiva and Parvati devoutly, using the leaves, will be endowed with spiritual powers.
Scientific Advantages
According to Hindu scriptures, the Bilva is Triguna which is connected to the three Gunas or components of natural characteristics of the tree. In Hindu philosophy, the three Gunas are Sattva, Rajas & Tamas with Sattva being the pure most while Tamas normally is to do with darkness & ignorance.
The Sattvic component is believed to be more centred within the bilva patra and therefore the high capacity to absorb and emit Sattvic frequencies. This has various effects on the environment as well as on anyone merelt touching the leaf. One of them is the reduction of Rajasic-Tamasic atoms present in the atmosphere & more importantly within the human body. A Sattvic leaf like bilva patra when brought in proximity of a person suffering from negative energies such as distress and anxiety is believed to medically reduce these energies within the human body. People with negative outlook towards life and their environment normally do not realise they have negative energies building up within their body and are at a risk of subconsciously harpering destructive thoughts also. Whenever such people come into contact with a Sattvic atmosphere, what they fail to realise is their negative energies try to fight the positivity of a Sattva predominant environment. This struggle can build up at various levels and can vary from the human mind thinking negatively and can result sudden bursts of anger to destruction of things around them.
Medicinal uses
The roots, skin, fruits and the leaves of the Bilva tree are used for medicinal purpose. Bilva has astringent, edema lessening, anti-diarrhea, laxative and appetizer properties hence, can be used to cure both internal and external diseases.
The sacred tree has many medicinal usages and is advantageous in curing many human ailments such as :
* bleeding gums.
* Bel fruit clears diarrhea, dysentry, phlegm, high blood pressure, morning sickness in pregnancy, stress.
* Asthma can be controlled when a mixture of dry bel leaf powder & honey is consumed daily
* Jaundice can be cured by consuming the extracted juice of the bilva leaves
* Anaemia can be cured by drinking the powder of the bel fruit mixed with milk
* Bel fruit keeps the skin rejuvenated when pasted into a facepack; also cures joint aches
bel (bilva) ke phal (fruit ) me beej ( seeds ) hote hai jinhe jameen par ya gamle me dalne par plants lag jate hai. bel phal market me aasani se milta hai.mai har saal isi prakar se plants taiyar karke logo ko free of cost deta hoo.i have prepared 2 bal plants infront of my home which is 7 years old but they are not giving fruits of bel.iwant to know that how much time take bel tree for giving fruits.

Civilization 5 – DirectX 11 and 3D Gaming
Civilization 5 was released at the end of September 2010 and in a somewhat surprising move the developers have included a number of advanced graphical features in the latest version of this franchise. This includes support for DirectX 11 and terrain tessellation, ensuring this is the best looking Civilization ever.

Civilization 5 poses no real problems for our two cards; there is a drop below 25fps on each as we move between views however the main gameplay averages 85-96fps with the 6870 performing best and giving us a great gaming experience.
That said, this is a game where we see one of the strengths of the NVIDIA card, we can enable stereoscopic 3D when running in DX11 mode without issue, something that cannot be said of the AMD card. Stereoscopic 3D really enhances the CIV 5 experience so it is well worth keeping this result in mind.
Here is how the game looks at our tested settings.

Captain of sunken South Korean ferry arrested
MOKPO, South Korea -- Police arrested the captain and two other crew members of the South Korean ferry that sank two days ago, leaving more than 270 people missing and 29 people dead, the Yonhap news agency reported.
As the last bit of the ferry's hull slipped Friday beneath the murky water off southern South Korea, there was a new victim: a vice principal of the high school whose students were among the passengers was found hanged, an apparent suicide.
The ferry had left the port of Incheon on Tuesday on an overnight journey to the island of Jeju in the south with 476 people aboard, including 323 students from Danwon High School in Ansan. It capsized within hours of the crew making a distress call to the shore a little before 9 a.m. Wednesday.
Strong currents and rain made it difficult to get inside the ferry. Divers worked in shifts to try to get into the vessel, where most of the passengers were believed to have been trapped when it sank, coast guard spokesman Kim Jae-in said.
Investigators said the accident came at a point where the ship had to make a turn, and prosecutor Park Jae-eok said investigators were looking at whether the third mate ordered a turn that was so sharp that it caused the vessel to list.
The sharp turn came between 8:48 a.m. and 8:49 a.m., but it's not known whether it was done voluntarily or because of some external factor, a Maritime Ministry spokesman said
Another angle being probed is the role of the captain, Lee Joon-seok, who was detained early today, along with two crew members. Lee, 68, faces five charges including negligence of duty and violation of maritime law, Yonhap said.
Senior prosecutor Yang Jung-jin said Lee was not on the bridge when the ferry was passing through an area with many islands clustered closely together, something he said is required by law so the captain can help a mate make a turn. The captain also abandoned people in need of help and rescue, he said.

Bérénice, the sixth play by Jean Racine, and only his second tragedy set in Rome, has had a chequered reception history. When first staged at the leading Paris public theatre, the Hôtel de Bourgogne, in November 1670, with the newly-recruited actress (and lover of Racine) Marie Champmeslé in the title role, it enjoyed public success, as well as being selected for a private performance by royal command the following month. Many discerning theatre-goers, especially women, apparently liked it enough to return for a second or third performance, such was the pleasurable combination of tenderness and tears. Over the following century, its popularity was sustained, with more than one hundred different public productions recorded, …

Chris Pronger isn't upset, but some women are.
A poster in Tuesday's Chicago Tribune shows the Flyers stalwart defenseman in a skirt, along with a headline that reads, "Chrissy Pronger. Looks like Tarzan, skates like Jane."
Clever like sixth grade.
Not only is the Tarzan joke as old as Tarzan, the skirt thing rips off the New York Post. "The Frillies Are Coming to Town!" its front page declared in October, next to a picture of outfielder Shane Victorino in a skirt.
Pronger barely bothered to react."I don't read what you guys write, good or bad," Pronger said Tuesday. "I really couldn't care, to be honest with you. I'm worried about playing the game."

The 2011 English Premier League season is winding down, and it is time to start looking back on the players who made it so memorable.
Thought the season will once again end with Manchester United on top, this year will be remembered for being one of the most unpredictable seasons ever. Everywhere you turned there was another twist in the race.
Heading into March, Chelsea were 15 points behind Manchester United in the title race. United had a chance to put them 18 points back, eliminating them from the title race and possibly knocking them out of contention to finish in the top four.
Yet one week later, Chelsea had closed that gap to just nine points. With three weeks to play in the season, Chelsea had climbed all the way back to second place and were within three points of the leaders.
Following the high profile appointment of manager Roy Hodgson, expectations at Liverpool were sky high this year. Instead, Liverpool crubmbled and Hodgson was sacked in December. In January, Kenny Dalglish took over with Liverpool just three points above the relegation zone. Since Dalglish took over, Liverpool have picked up 33 points in the league, just two less then Chelsea and one more then Manchester United.
Meanwhile, Roy Hodgson moved to West Bromwich Albion and now has the Baggies within striking distance of finishing in the top half of the league.
Of course it hasn't been the managers that have made this season memorable but the players. Many teams would not be where they are now if it were not for the outstanding contributions of some players, or in other cases, the lack of contributions from certain players.
Here are the top 10 players from the 2010/11 English Premier League season.

LOS ANGELES -- You did not see UCLA quarterback Brett Hundley walk across the stage at Radio City Music Hall on Thursday night. He didn't wrap NFL commissioner Roger Goodell in a man hug, didn't pop the stiff, flat-billed hat with the Browns/Vikings/Whomever logo. He didn't join his former teammate, linebacker and No. 9 pick Anthony Barr, for celebratory pics.
Instead, Hundley watched the draft on TV like everyone else, happy to have a break from his statistics textbook, counting the days until the Bruins begin their preseason workouts.
You did not see Oregon cornerback Ifo Ekpre-Olomu renounce his last season of eligibility in January and hire an agent. He didn't wear a T-shirt at the combine that identified him with a number and the letters CB. He didn't work out at the Ducks' pro day in March. But he was there, daydreaming just a little.
"I'm watching them from the sidelines knowing I could be doing the same thing," Ekpre-Olomu said. "I mean, it was great cheering on my teammates, but at the same time, I thought about it, of course. Yeah, you always think about the what-ifs."
Said Hundley, "Just to know that if I had left, I could have been out there throwing in the pro day with them, is something. Your mind wanders, obviously."
Hundley and Ekpre-Olomu had the money and the dream within their grasp. There were days when both picked it up and held it. But in the end, they let it go.
"There were some times when I could flip a coin and say whether I could stay or go," Hundley said "Honestly, it was a terrible decision, a hard one, personally. Some days I would wake up and I'd be like, 'All right, I'm out.' But if you count the days where I woke up and said, 'All right, I'm going to stay,' it was a little more than when I said I was gone."
Oregon coach Mark Helfrich thought Ekpre-Olomu would leave.
"If I would have been forced to lay my chips somewhere," Helfrich said, "that's probably where I would have. It was a pleasant surprise."
Both young men wanted to remain in college to polish the skills that NFL teams desire. Hundley spent spring practice working on taking snaps under center, something he has rarely done in UCLA's up-tempo offense. Ekpre-Olomu wanted another year playing for Ducks secondary coach John Neal, one of the best in the game.
But both players made the decision for reasons off the field, as well. Both wanted to graduate. Ekpre-Olomu will walk this spring and finish up later this year. Hundley plans to walk in the fall. Both wanted to have their senior year in college, the combination of the most maturity and the least responsibility that most of us will ever have.
"I'm so happy I made the decision to come back," Hundley said. "I really am. Just to get another year to grow with this team, and to grow as a quarterback, it's a special thing. And college is a special thing. It's not something you should rush past."
UCLA coach Jim L. Mora told Hundley he should stay to mature as a quarterback. But the advice that most resonated with Hundley came from his former Bruins teammate, Green Bay running back Johnathan Franklin.
"We're real close," Hundley said. "He's almost like a big brother to me. And he said, 'College is something you really don't want to rush.' The NFL will always be there; basically, it's not going nowhere. The opportunity will always be there. But the opportunity to play college football and to be in the college atmosphere and to have that kind of bond with your teammates won't always be there. So enjoy it while you can and don't really worry about everything else because it will come."
Added Ekpre-Olomu, "I always look back and realize that where I am now is the best place I can be at this moment in my life. Just all the support, all the resources around me. There are a lot of great things you can do at this school, especially outside of football, too."
In the coming weeks, as the draftees report to their new teams and begin their work at the bottom of the NFL ladder, Hundley and Ekpre-Olomu will sling their backpacks over their shoulders and walk to class. They will lead their teammates in offseason work.
And when Green Bay and Seattle open the NFL season on Sept. 4, UCLA and Oregon already will be wrapping up the game plan for their second game of the college football season. The 2015 NFL draft will be seven months away.
