Vintage Seattle Police car draws eyes around town By The Associated Press • Apr 24, 2013 Manuel Valdes / Associated Press At a recent scene of a fight on Seattle's waterfront, most of the gawkers weren't looking at the handcuffed and yelling suspect or the bloodied victim.

Why you should license your pet:
¨ A San Bernardino pet license can provide your pet safe passage home if it becomes lost. If it is injured, its license enables others to notify you more quickly.
¨ A San Bernardino pet license also provides important proof of current rabies vaccination. Rabies exists in San Bernardino County in certain wild animals as well as domestic animals that come infected through contact with them. Every year hundreds of city residents are bitten by dogs, and some of them will be required to undergo a very expensive rabies treatment because the dog was not currently vaccinated against rabies. While the law does not require rabies vaccinations for cats, it would be prudent for cat owners to do so because of their possible contact with wild animals and bats.
¨ Dog licensing is mandatory - cat licensing is voluntary. All dogs over the age of 4 months must be licensed within 30 days. Pet owners moving into the area must also license within 30 days. A current rabies vaccination certificate is required to purchase a license.
License Category (Dogs)
One Year
Two Year
Three Year
Regular Unaltered
Altered - Dog is spayed or neutered. (Spay/neuter Certificate is required)
Senior - Pet owner is 60+ and dog is spayed or neutered. (Spay/neuter Certificate is required)
Voluntary License Category (Cats)
Altered - Cat is spayed or neutered. (Spay/neuter Certificate is required on initial licensing)
Senior - Pet owner is 60+ and cat is spayed or neutered. (Spay/neuter Certificate is required)
Where to license your pet: ¨San Bernardino Animal Control - 333 Chandler Place, San Bernardino, CA 92408 ¨By Mail. To purchase by mail, fill out our license application and mail in.
Remember, you must provide proof of spaying or neutering if you are applying for an Altered or Senior Altered Pet License (for the first time) and a copy of a current rabies vaccination certificate.

Can somebody please explain what the code I have pasted below does, which can be found from the Link - Algorithms
for i = 0:30
imgINumber = i; imgPNumber = i+2;
if imgINumber < 10 imgIFile = sprintf('./%s/gray/%s00%d.ras',imageName, imageName, imgINumber); elseif imgINumber < 100 imgIFile = sprintf('./%s/gray/%s0%d.ras',imageName, imageName, imgINumber); end
if imgPNumber < 10 imgPFile = sprintf('./%s/gray/%s00%d.ras',imageName, imageName, imgPNumber); elseif imgPNumber < 100 imgPFile = sprintf('./%s/gray/%s0%d.ras',imageName, imageName, imgPNumber); end
I want to perform some of the motion estimation algorithms using my own mpeg video, but I need to know what this code does. It would be very much appreciated, as it will help me with my final year project.
No products are associated with this question.
it creates a string based upon the image name & number. It pads the number with zeros to get a string with a consistent number of characters
It is code for selecting file names from a directory relative to the current directory. The subdirectory involved is indicated by imageName and then the 'gray' subdirectory of that. The file names involved will start with that same name, followed by a 3 digit number, followed by '.ras'. For any one pass of the for loop over "i", two files are selected, one using i as the number, and the other using i+2
The code could be replaced with
for i = 0:30 imgIFile = sprintf('./%s/gray/%s%03d.ras', imageName, imageName, i); imgPfile = sprintf('./%s/gray/%s%03d.ras', imageName, imageName, i+2);
That simplified code is helpful.
What does this part mean though - './%s/gray/%s%03d.ras'
Also, if I had all the images in one folder called gray, then what would the code look like?
'./%s/gray/%s%03d.ras' is an sprintf format string. It means that the output string is to start with a period, then a slash, then the next parameter (the 2nd to the call) should be interpreted as a string and placed in the buffer, followed by a slash and the literal word 'gray', followed by a slash, then the next parameter (the 3rd to the call) should be interpreted as a string and placed in the buffer, followed by a slash, then the next parameter (the 4th to the call) should be interpreted as a string and placed in the buffer, then the next parameter (the 5th to the call) should be converted to be a 3 digit integer with leading zeroes, and finally that a literal period and 'ras' should be added to the buffer.
If all the images are in a folder called gray that is a subdirectory of your current directory, then the code would look like:
for i = 0:30
imgIFile = sprintf('./gray/%s%03d.ras', imageName, i);
imgPfile = sprintf('./gray/%s%03d.ras', imageName, i+2);

How to Grow a Cherry Blossom Tree
The Japanese word for cherry blossom trees is Sakura and is roughly translated as "Japanese flowering cherry." The flowers are referred to as cherry blossoms. There is a common misconception that these trees produce cherries, but they actually don't. The fruit-bearing cherry tree is a completely different species of tree. The cherry blossom tree's name comes from the soft and pretty pastel pink blossoms they produce.
The cherry blossom tree is known for its short yet beautiful blooming season which ends with an inevitable fall to the ground. For Japanese people, this symbolizes the way of human life where rising, blossoming, and falling are part of our natural destiny.
If you would like to plant and grow one of these flower producing trees, then review the steps below.
1Find a location. If you're planting in your backyard, make sure that the spot you locate has plenty of sunlight and allows for good drainage.
2Buy a seedling or young cherry blossom plant from your local nursery. If you buy from a local nursery, check for plants that can grow in your zone Cherry blossoms grow well in zones 5 to 8. If these plantings were produced from your zone, that would make them more suitable for transplanting in your area. However, this doesn't mean that other cherry blossoms sold in other locations wouldn't work for your area. You can find nurseries in zones where cherry blossoms flourish as your best resources. Do your research well when buying out of your area or online.
3If you've bought a young cherry blossom plant instead of a seed, dig a hole about a size and a half of the plant base using a spade or shovel. Loosen the roots very gently before placing inside the hole. Make sure that you don't dig the hole too deep so that the trunk will be exposed. Allow for about three inches of the soil base to rise above the soil.
4Add soil mix. Cherry blossoms can tolerate a variety of pH range. Check with your nursery to find what the best pH level is for the plant you chose.
5Water, and let it drain well before adding additional water.
6Apply compound fertilizer with minerals only once a year. The nutrients are slowly released to the root system only when plants are active growing during warm weather. NPK mixture or Nitrogen, Phosphate, and Potassium (15-9-12).
7Enjoy your brilliant, beautiful cherry blossoms!
Community Q&A
Can cherry trees grow and bear fruit successfully in Banglore Karnataka, India?
What do I do if my tree hasn't bloomed, but it has what looks like a small tree growing near its trunk?
what is the best time to plant the tree?
How big will roots get I have one right next to my conservatory?
Can I plant a cherry blossom tree in Bangladesh?
- After bloom is gone, make sure to defoliate, or remove old leaves from the tree, to encourage new growth.
- Prune branches at least once a year.
- If you plant it in a moist area and with other foliage around it that will grow under the tree, this will help to keep soil moist.
- If you plant your cherry blossom tree beside a path, the faded spring blossoms will drop to the surface to create a confetti of dainty petals.
- Don't saturate too heavily with water.
- Avoid cutting down branches to the trunks like oak trees for the branches may not re-grow.
- Watch the moss. Use a garden hose or hands to keep the moss of branches that can inhibit growth.
Things You'll Need
- cherry blossom seedlings or young plants from nursery
- pot or planting area
- soil
- soil mix
- fertilizer
- water
- basic gardening tools (spade, shovel, pruner)

India's Kingfisher Airlines cancels several flights citing worker threats
October 2, 2012, 12:26 pm TWN
MUMBAI -- India's cash-strapped Kingfisher Airlines cancelled several flights on Monday due to staff unrest, it said, fueling more doubts about the private carrier's future and sending its shares plunging.
Kingfisher, which is desperately in need of capital to keep flying, said in a statement it believed some employees might not report to work after being threatened by other workers.
"A section of our employees have been threatening and manhandling other employees who are reporting to work. We are anticipating disruptions and delays of flights across our network," airline spokesman Prakash Mirpuri said.
"With a view to mitigate the impact of these anticipated disruptions, we are proactively cancelling several flights across our network for Oct. 1," he said in the statement, adding the firm would talk to employees on the issue.
Mirpuri could not be reached by telephone and the statement did not specify how many flights were affected, but according to domestic media reports Kingfisher's fleet has fallen to seven planes from 66 last October.

In February, a ruling by a Lucas County Court of Common Pleas judge in 2013 to reinstate the former fire chief in Jerusalem Township after trustees fired him was reversed by Ohio's Sixth District Court of Appeals.
The appellate court, consisting of Judges Mark L. Pietrykowski, Arlene Singer, and James D. Jenson, unanimously voted on Feb. 6 to uphold the trustees' dismissal of former Fire Chief Harold Stanton.
Stanton filed an appeal of that decision with the Supreme Court of Ohio in March. On September 16, the high court decided to not accept the appeal for review.
In its ruling, the court simply wrote, "Upon consideration of the jurisdictional memoranda filed in this case, the court declines to accept jurisdiction of the appeal.
The Sixth District Court of Appeals has unanimously dismissed a complaint by the Sandusky County prosecutor's office that challenged an appointment to a vacant seat on the Woodmore Board of Education.
The court ruled the school board had followed state law when it selected Daniel Hoppe in May during a special meeting to fill a seat vacated by Grant Cummings, then the board vice president, who had resigned earlier that month.
The prosecutor's office filed its complaint June 11, arguing the Ohio Revised Code requires an appointment to be made by a probate court judge when a school board doesn't act within a required time frame. The complaint asked that Hoppe prove he is rightfully a member of the board and, failing to do that, asked to remove him from the board.
Board President Steve Huss applauded the decision.
Refinancing a portion of its bond debt will save the Genoa Area Local School District approximately $221,990, according to the administration, which announced last week it had completed a refinancing agreement.
The debt was incurred to finance the district's share of construction costs for the John C. Roberts Middle School building.
"This savings will go directly to the district taxpayers," Bill Nye, district treasurer, said. "I'll be meeting with the Ottawa County auditor to have the tax adjusted. This will effectively reduce taxpayer costs."
Voters in 1999 approved a bond levy to build the new school. The district also received a credit of $6.2 million from the Ohio School Facilities Commission for the project.
The school opened in 2001.
Oregon City Council on Monday agreed to pay $23,000 to Hull & Associates, Inc., to provide engineering design and to develop funding assistance for a proposed public boat launch in the city for access to Lake Erie.
Council also agreed to pay $21,500 to Hull & Associates to provide conceptual designs for the city's waterfront resources and possible funding partnerships.
City officials and Hull & Associates discussed the boat launch and other potential waterfront improvements at a Drainage, Roads, Buildings and Lands Committee meeting on Aug. 10.
For years, the city has discussed the possibility of developing a public boat launch, though it has never materialized.
"We get people inquiring about a boat launch all the time," Mayor Mike Seferian told The Press before the meeting. Locating an appropriate site has been the biggest challenge.
In a District 3 city council primary Tuesday, Peter J. Ujvagi and Glen Cook were chosen by East Toledo and Old South End voters to advance to the November 3 general election.
Ujvagi, a 69-year-old Democrat, finished with 882 votes (46.6 percent) and Cook, a 73-year-old independent, garnered 558 (29.5 percent) in unofficial results released by the Lucas County Elections Board.
Ernest D. McCarthy, a 73-year-old Republican, followed with 238 votes (12.6) and 20-year-old independent Robert James Worthington finished last with 213 (11.3). City wide, 9.1 percent of registered voters went to the polls.
Ujvagi, of 124 Paine Ave. in East Toledo, is well-known in Toledo political circles, having served in the public sector since 1970. He is a University of Toledo graduate, majoring in economics and political science. Ujvagi is currently chief of public policy and legislation and from 2010-13 was the Lucas County administrator.

Superior, WI - (Northland's NewsCenter) - With the announcement that the next-generation of corporate airplanes will be manufactured in Superior, bringing 600 jobs to the area...the next generation of workers will need the training to fill those jobs.
With Kestrel Aircraft Corporation looking to hire 600 new workers in Superior...regional technical schools anticipate higher enrollment in programs geared toward manufacturing and engineering.
"This is huge. I like to think of it as a game changer, quite honestly, for our community," says Associate Dean of Continuing Education at W-I-T-C, Charles Glazman.
Wisconsin Indian Technical College in Superior is already looking at adapting their programs to fit the needs of Kestrel.
"Our hope is that we can serve Kestrel with providing a skilled workforce based on their needs. That's pretty much a purpose of the technical colleges within the state of Wisconsin," Glazman says.
A workforce CEO of Kestrel, Alan Klapmeier, says they are excited to utilize.
"Certainly one of our characteristics of this company would be, in the beginning it's engineering, it's RND, it's a lot of creative type jobs. And in the past we've used interns and students and new hires...so we're looking forward to continuing to do that," Klapmeier said.
Superior Mayor Bruce Hagen says having Kestrel come to Superior is a great opportunity for students.
"The Kestrel folks will be identifying the skill sets necessary so people can either present them or take the opportunity to present them or take the opportunity to get those skill sets on board," Hagen says.
Skill sets that will be varied...like the positions Kestrel will be hiring for.
"There's a lot of different jobs. To start with, it's engineers and technicians that are building prototypes and test parts for certification. Later on, eventually, there will be more traditional composite manufacturing jobs, similar to other jobs in the area," Klapmeier says.
Associate Dean of Continuing Education at W-I-T-C, Charles Glazman, says this will have a tremendous impact for students...one they are excited to prepare them for.
"We've got to be working along side them as closely as possible and trying to address those needs as they come up," Glazman said.
Glazman says WITC has been in talks with Kestrel since August in order to work them on the future of both Kestrel and WITC's programs.

text: Explore Mendoza Province Mendoza Province San Juan and La Rioja Share The southern half of El Nuevo Cuyo is taken up by Mendoza Province, the self-styled Tierra del Sol y del Buen Vino, the "land of sunshine and good wine". Within its borders are some of the country's most dramatic mountain landscapes, where you can try a host of adventure pursuits, from kayaking to hang-gliding. Its lively capital city, Mendoza, can satisfy yearnings for creature comforts after treks, climbs into the Andes or a day of whitewater rafting. While Mendoza Province shares many things with San Juan and La Rioja – bleak wildernesses backed by snow-peaked mountains, remarkably varied flora and fauna, an incredibly sunny climate prone to sudden temperature changes and pockets of rich farmland mainly used to produce beefy red wines – it differs in the way it exploits them. Mendoza leads the way in tourism just as it does in the wine industry, combining professionalism with a taste for the avant-garde. The two industries come together for Mendoza's nationally famous Fiesta de la Vendimia, or Wine Harvest Festival, held in early March, a slightly kitsch but exuberant bacchanalia at which a carnival queen is elected from candidates representing every town in the province. Mendoza Province can be divided into three sections, each with its own base. The north, around the capital, has the country's biggest concentration of vineyards and top-class wineries, clustered around Maipú and Luján de Cuyo, while the scenic Alta Montaña route races up in a westerly direction towards the high Chilean border, passing the mighty Cerro Aconcagua, an increasingly popular climbing destination. Not far to the southwest are the much more challenging Cerro Tupungato (6570m) and the remote Laguna Diamante, a choppy altiplanic lagoon in the shadow of the perfectly shaped Volcán Maipo, which can only be visited from December to March. Central Mendoza is focused on the laidback town of San Rafael, where you can taste more wine, and from where several tour operators offer whitewater-rafting trips along the nearby Cañón del Atuel, or rivers like the Sosneado and Diamante. If you've always wanted to ski or snowboard in July, try the winter sports resort at Las Leñas, where you'll be sharing pistes with South America's jet-set. The third, least-visited section of the province wraps around the southern outpost of Malargüe, a final-frontier kind of place promoting itself as a centre for nature, scientific discovery and adventure. Within easy reach are the Laguna de Llancanelo, home to an enormous community of flamingoes, the charcoal-grey and rust-red lava deserts of La Payunia and the karstic caves of Caverna de las Brujas. Mendoza and around Alta Montaña South of Mendoza San Rafael and around Las Leñas and around La Payunia Read More

The boom in emerging corporate debt is an ongoing theme that we have discussed often in the past, here on Global Investing as well as on the Reuters news wire. Many of us will therefore recall that outstanding debt volumes from emerging market companies crossed the $1 trillion milestone last October. This year could be shaping up to be another good one.
Global Investing
Pension funds cover the table
As gloomy first paragraphs go, you'd have to go some to top Schroders' Jonathan Smith's introduction to a report touting his firm's momentum investing offering.
Crowing about good earnings
Investors have been cock-a-hoop about the latest earnings season — and probably with some reason. There has been positive surprise after positive surprise, particularly in America. Thomson Reuters latest research shows that of the 337 companies in the S&P 500 that had reported through Friday, 74 percent came in above analysts expectations.
Once Bitten
Nobody knows quite what the landscape for financial services will be after the mayhem of the last three weeks. There is much talk of the investment banking model being dead in the water and swingeing regulation aimed at firmly bolting the door of a horseless stable, but few are ready to hazard at the details.

Paid to Sprawl: Subsidized Job Flight from Cleveland and Cincinnati

July 2011
Many Ohio companies were awarded lucrative property tax breaks as they moved facilities around within the Cleveland and Cincinnati metro areas.

New tip could solve 1980 N.H. missing teen case
Rachael Garden last seen in March 1980
Published 8:22 AM EDT Aug 19, 2013
A new tip could finally solve the 1980 disappearance of New Hampshire teen.
Rachael Garden disappeared in March 1980, after buying cigarettes and gum at a store in Newton, N.H.
The then 15-year-old was supposed to meet friends but never showed up.
The police chief in Newton just got a new tip in the case.
The Eagle Tribune reported police have not said what the exact nature of the tip is, but said it could finally help put all the pieces together.
Garden, who would now be 48, is believed to be dead.

Voice: Ronald Richard Weber, James Township
Since our Democrat-controlled Congress is so averse to reading the bills it passes, some others have done so, with alarming results.
The cap-and-tax bill, which has been passed by the House and which will be taken up by the Senate next year, has a number of really awful provisions in it, which I think your readers should know about, and which you don't seem to be willing to pass on to them.
One requirement is that a license will be required to sell your house. You must retrofit your house to government standards regarding water and energy efficiency. If you don't have the money to retrofit your house, then forget it! In addition, this bill will increase taxes by as much as $6,800 per family of four, with no exceptions.
An EPA administrator will have to certify your home's energy efficiency, and its rating will be posted, sort of like the "Energy Star" ratings on appliances. But if you don't pass, you'll have to pay another fee and do it all again. If your rating isn't high enough, you can't sell. Government estimates of the cost for each test is about $200.
One goal of this bill is to measure the efficiency of 90 percent of America's homes within the first five years, so you can't duck out of this bill by staying put. And just like your car, you'll have to renew every so often with new tests.
I wonder if the Democrats who voted for this bill realized that this stuff was in it. Either way, these "representatives" need to be replaced.
If you don't believe me, then Google "license for your home" or Wall Street Journal's editorials about the cap-and-trade bill. It really is as bad as I say.

Austin Brothers Valley Farm
270 West St.,
We do beef and we grow hay for our own cattle and for sale. We grow sweet corn and we raise pork and we have the farm store at 270 West St. in Belchertown.
We are not in the mainstream of traffic here, so we have to take our products to three farmers markets.
About two years ago, we started offering meat through the Community Supported Agriculture program. People pre-pay and once a month they get various cuts of beef. It helps people to get fresh food and it helps us pre-plan what we will be needing for animals.
We have a Web page, www.austinsfarm.com and a Facebook page.
We have been doing different things to try to get the word out, and the whole family pitches in.
There are regular customers who come to our farmers markets and some come to the farm store as well. We have a corn maze and a pick-your-own-pumpkin patch.
Everything could be better. We wish more people could come to the farm.
When they come, it is best to call ahead to (413) 668-5992.
The price of gasoline has been a big factor in our business, and we feel it every time the tractor goes out into the field to cut the hay, rake it, bail it. It also adds to the cost of going to the farmers market in Cambridge.
In addition to having to cope with the price of gasoline, the price of seed and the price of fertilizer have been going up.

SS informed us that the USGS reported that the Landsat 5 mission is in jeopardy.
From the USGS: "The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has stopped acquiring images from the 27-year-old Landsat 5 Earth observation satellite due to a rapidly degrading electronic component. Landsat 5 was launched in 1984 and designed to last 3 years. The USGS assumed operation of Landsat 5 in 2001 and managed to bring the aging satellite back from the brink of total failure on several occasions following the malfunction of key subsystems. There is now an increasing likelihood that the Landsat 5 mission is nearing its end. […] For several months, the Landsat flight operations team has been closely tracking the fluctuating performance of an amplifier essential for transmitting land-surface images from the Landsat 5 satellite to ground receiving stations in the U.S. and around the world. Over the past 10 days, problems with the amplifier have led to drastically reduced image download capabilities, a sign of impending failure. […] Landsat 8, currently called the Landsat Data Continuity Mission, is now scheduled to be launched in January 2013."
We obviously mentioned Landsat 5 often in the past, including in 2005, 2007 and 2009 when it suffered technical problems, but each time, was able to resume satellite imagery acquisition. This time, it's probable it's really the end of Landsat 5. Here's the Landsat 5 Wikipedia article.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- In the past 40 years, survival for childhood cancer patients has increased from 10 percent to 78 percent.
That's a gift to many of the 40,000 children who undergo treatment for cancer each year, but it has also spawned a growing area of medical study -- how to deal with so-called "late effects," the treatment-related health problems that can appear months or years after cancer therapy has ended.
"We try to educate the families about the risks they face," said childhood cancer expert Dr. Kimberly Whelan, of Children's of Alabama and UAB's hematology/oncology division. "Most of these issues occur several years later."
Whelan heads a clinic at Children's called TLC, or Taking on Life after Cancer. There she sees child, adolescent and young adult cancer survivors, along with their families. It's the only clinic of its kind in Alabama.
Last Friday, Wesley Hughes of Mobile, 24, came for his first TLC visit.
Hughes was diagnosed with leukemia in January of his senior year of high school at McGill-Toolen Catholic.
"It was just as all the fun stuff was supposed to happen," Hughes said.
He was treated at Children's for three years ending in May 2008. Now with his visit to TLC, Hughes is starting to look ahead, to be prepared for issues that may come up in the next five to 10 years.
Whelan said that morbidity, the rate of disease, is about eight times higher in childhood cancer survivors. Up to two-thirds may develop chronic health-related problems, as contrasted with only 30 percent of their brothers or sisters who never had cancer.
Late effects from childhood cancer stem from the chemotherapy, radiation and surgery that may be used to cure the disease.
The problems vary greatly, depending on the type of cancer, the type of treatment or the age of the patient, but in general the main areas are:
• Issues involving endocrine glands and their hormones, including impaired growth, fertility problems, hormone imbalances or osteoporosis.
• Heart, lung or dental problems, or changes in hearing or vision.
• Secondary cancers as opposed to relapses of the original cancer, including leukemias, skin cancer, breast cancer or bone tumors.
• Learning disabilities and memory loss, or psychological problems such as depression or anxiety. Some patients or parents may show symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.
At the TLC clinic, survivors and families learn about the long-term effects of cancer treatment and get screening for late effects based on the particular treatments the patient received, as well as psychosocial evaluation and support. Clinic visitors are referred to specialist doctors as needed.
"We try to educate the families about the risks they face and also educate their primary physicians," Whelan said.
"Most of the kids are just trying to move on with their lives," Whelan said, "but we want them to know the details of their treatment, have a treatment summary and get follow-ups as needed."
The families would have heard much of this during their detailed consent process for the initial cancer treatment, but it probably didn't stick.
"They hear about the consequences," Whelan said, "but to be honest, it pretty much pales in comparison with the immediate problem."
During Hughes' recent visit to the TLC clinic, he was given a bone density scan, lab work and an EKG to check his heart. Hughes said the tests were all specific for the particular drugs he got during treatment.
"It's very tailored," he said.
Hughes was also given a one-page summary of his cancer treatment that he can give to future doctors, and a practical guidebook called "Childhood Cancer Survivors."
"It has all sorts of information for potential side effects," said Hughes, who has finished college and works for Whitney Bank in Mobile. The book also talks about how cancer can affect issues such as employment, health insurance or relationships with friends and family.
Hughes said he had met several children during his treatment who have since died, and his cancer experience has "definitely made me more attuned to the struggles other people go through."
"It makes me more empathetic and able to understand," he said.
Children's treats more than 90 percent of Alabama children diagnosed with cancer. Survivors have follow-ups with their primary oncologist at Children's, but not all the survivors go through the TLC clinic. Whelan hopes to make that number grow.

Kaniyanpura - Moyar Elephant Corridor in Nilgiri Biosphere Reserve maintains the contiguity of habitat within the Bandipur Tiger Reserve along its border with Satyamangalam Forest Division. The corridor is narrow and is bordered on one side by an elephant proof trench and on the other by the steepslopes of the Moyar gorge.
Forest Division: Bandipur Tiger Reserve
Connectivity : Western part of Bandipur Tiger Reserve with its eastern extremities
Geographical Coordinates:
Latitude 11°37'–11°37' N
Longitude 77°40'–77°41' E
Length: 1 km
Width: 0.4 km
Forest type/ Vegetation: Tropical thorn and deciduous forest
Nearest Protected Area: Bandipur Tiger Reserve
Legal status of the corridor: Reserve Forest
Major land-use: Forest
Major habitation/settlements in corridor: Nil
Corridor dependent villages: Kaniyanpura and Karragihundi
Human artefacts on the corridor: Nil
Frequency of usage of the corridor by elephants: Regular; used by herds and bulls
Threats to the corridor
- Cattle grazing and fuel wood collection
- Declaration, demarcation and legal protection of the corridor under various laws appropriate for the state
- Monitoring the already acquired corridor for encroachment
- Reducing habitat disturbances caused by cattle grazing and fuel wood collection
This was initially a narrow corridor of about 0.1 km width. The Karnataka Forest Department with the financial assistance of the Directorate of Project Elephant have acquired the adjacent revenue land and annexed it to the Reserve Forest to widen the corridor near Karragihundi village.

DID WALL STREET RIP-OFF UNITED STATES FACEBOOK INVESTORS? 0 commentsNov 12, 2012 9:31 AM
Troubling signs that emerged days before the IPO were hidden from the public by Wall Street, according to an article in The Motley Fool by Eric Bleeker entitled "The Tragedy of Facebook: How Wall Street Robbed Main Street." While Wall Street helped Facebook promote its IPO, and brought it public at a falsely elevated price, analysts at the underwriter firms cut their earnings estimates for Facebook. That was unprecedented for an IPO. But it was only disclosed to a few favored clients, while the rest, who were encouraged to buy Facebook stock in the IPO, were kept in the dark. The banks' analysts apparently didn't even cut their estimates based on their own due diligence. A Facebook executive had to tell them they should cut their estimates, according to the article.
After Facebook shares popped up, and then quickly began to sink, while Morgan Stanley, the lead underwriter, was buying shares to try to temporarily prop up the price, underwriters Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan were lending out Facebook shares to be sold short by the few institutional clients who had been tipped off about Facebook's lowered earnings estimates, further exacerbating the slide. So much for Wall Street's claim that it can manage its conflicts of interest while millions of dollars are in play.
Morgan Stanley's buying of Facebook shares did not result in a loss for Morgan Stanley. It sold more shares into the IPO than it bought, and therefore made a profit even though Facebook shares plummeted. Indeed the Wall Street underwriters made $100 million from trading Facebook as retail investors lost $630 million and counting. Thus Wall Street wins even if investors lose because the game is rigged against the investors and in favor of Wall Street.

MASON, Ohio -- The suburban home of Cincinnati Bengals football player Antwan Odom, a former Alabama and Bryant star, has been heavily damaged by fire.
Fire officials in the city of Mason north of Cincinnati say the defensive end and his family were out of town at the time.
Firefighters responded just after 2:30 a.m. Tuesday to what they describe as a very serious fire that collapsed the home's roof. They say hot spots and unstable areas are delaying their investigation into the cause.
The Warren County auditor's website estimates the home's value at nearly $1.2 million. It was built in 2000 and has nearly 6,000 square feet of space.

Jenison took seventh in the final standings with 133 points on the back of seven all-state performances and three school records.
Leading the way for Jenison was the 400 yard relay team of Jacob Clement, Ben Moss, Josh Bouma and Jason Wesseling, which finished sixth with a time of 3:11.28, breaking a school record set in 1988.
Wesseling set another school record earlier in the meet, finishing third in the 100 backstroke in 50.71 and breaking his own school record. Clement also broke another school-record, swimming the 500 freestyle a 4:43.83 to finish ninth in the race, a place off of all-state honors.
RELATED – Photo gallery from the Division 2 Swim and Dive state finals
Wesseling finished seventh in the 50 freestyle (21.90) and swam a leg on the eighth-place 200 medley relay (1:39.94) to earn all-state honors in all four of his races, and Clement finished eighth in the 200 freestyle (1:43.87) and swam a leg on the eighth-place 200 freestyle relay (1:29.16) to finish the day with three all-state honors.
Josh Bouma swam legs on all three relays for Jenison and finished sixth in the 100 freestyle (47.45) to earn four all-state honors as well.
"We had a couple of tough schools come down from D1 that really altered the meet, and made it a lot tougher to get into the top 8," Jenison co-coach Jennifer Coffey said. "Our team responded to the challenge well and we swam our best times of the year today. I was really impressed with their performance.
"We've got a lot of our swimmers coming back, so as happy as we are with this season's results, we're expecting even bigger things next year."
Grand Rapids Northview finished 12th, with 71 points, led by an all-state finish from sophomore diver Austin Mirandette.
Mirandette, who just missed earning all-state honors last season in the 1 meter diving competition, finished seventh this season, with a score of 367.1.
"It's a great accomplishment for him, because the field this year was a lot tougher than last year's," Northview coach Rob Damuth said. "He was just consistent overall, stayed safe and executed his dives. I think he showed the rest of the state what's he's capable of over the next two seasons today."
Hudsonville Unity Christian (20th, 17 points) got an all-state finish from Drew Besselsen, who took sixth in the 100 butterfly with a time of 52.05.
Portage Central seniors Robin Nickell and Nathan Weber both earned all-state honors in their final high school competition.
Nickell finished fifth in the 1-meter diving competition, with 379.65 points, and Weber took seventh in the 100 backstroke in a time of 53.46, a personal-best.
"It was a great way for both guys to finish their careers," Portage Central coach Jim Schafer said. "They both had great days against tough competition and put in the best performances of the year."
Portage Northern also had two athletes earn all-state honors.
Diver Connor Brown took sixth in his competition, with 370.55 points, and Evan Holzgen took fifth in the 100 breaststroke (58.72).
"Connor's diving was great today, he had a high degree of difficulty on a lot of his dives, and he was able to execute them well and do better than we had hoped," Portage Northern coach Ken Mange said. "Evan had a great day as well."
Jackson swimmer Colin Cogan followed up two school record times on Friday with strong performances in the consolation finals on Saturday.
Cogan finished 12th in the 500 freestyle (4:46.25) and 14th in the 200 individual medley (1:59.43) in the consolation finals, coming close to matching his school record-setting times in both events on Friday.
Cogan swam a 4:45.62 in the 500 freestyle and a 1:58.78 in the 200 individual medley in the preliminaries to advance to Saturday's consolation final.
"Colin put it all on the line, competing as hard as he could against really tough competition on both days," Jackson coach Joe Zessin. "It took lifetime-best swims to even get to today, but he did everything he could to advance. I'm really proud of his attitude and his performances today."
Swartz Creek's Jackson Maxwell finished 10th in the 1 meter diving competition (357.25) to lead the Dragons.
Fenton's 200 freestyle relay team of Adam Andreski, Brant Cassidy, Zahne Macklin and Chris Taylor finished 15th overall, with a time of 1:31.02.
Jarred Butler took 12th in the 100 freestyle (48.14) and 13th in the 200 freestyle (1:44.77) to lead Oxford.
