Description : The book "Urban Decay in India (c. 300-c. 1000)" on the decline of the towns and their desertion in late ancient and early medieval India on the basis of archaeological evidence. The author has material remains to study crafts, commerce and coinage, and identifies and illustrates signs of growth and decay for more than 130 excavated sites. The strata with poor remains are taken to indicate decrease in construction, manufacturing and commercial activities, and are hence associated with de-urbanization.
The reasons for the urban eclipse are sought not only in the fall of empires but also in social disorder and the loss of long-distance trade. The disintegration of the town life is seen not as social regression but as part of the social transformation which generated classical feudalism and promoted rural expansion.
The book explores the link between urban decay and land grants to officials, priests, temples and monasteries. It shows how the landed elements collected surplus and services directly from the peasants, and remunerated artisan servicing castes through land grants and grain supply. The monograph should interest students of pre-modern urban history and those who study processes of change in economy and society in Gupta and post-Gupta times. It may also provide basic information on the urban horizons of excavated sites during the second half of the first millennium BC and the following six centuries AD.(Description courtsey MMRL)

After Julia Haner transferred to Lake Oswego High School her junior year, her teachers and cheerleading coach tried to lend a little support and structure.
Below is the email sent to Lake Oswego High School parents:
LOSD and LOHS were contacted today by the US Attorney's Office in Portland to advise us of the indictment of a former student, Julia Haner, who attended Lake Oswego High School during the 2011-12 school year, and for one class a day during the 2012-13 school year. Haner was an LOHS cheerleader during the 2011-12 school year, and was also a member of a non-school competitive cheer team.
The indictment charges Julia Haner and a co-defendant, Konrod Mason (who appears to have no connection to LOHS), with sex trafficking a minor, and transporting the minor to Washington for the purpose of prostitution. Among other charges, Haner is charged with recruiting a 17 year-old minor female to work as a prostitute. Haner knew the victim because they attended LOHS together. While the name of the victim will not be released by law enforcement, we have been told that the victim is not a current LOHS student.
Haner is also charged with recently recruiting a 20 year-old woman who Haner knew because they used to cheer together. We have been told that this victim did not attend LOHS.
We expect that this incident will receive considerable media attention. As we continue to look into the circumstances surrounding this indictment, we will keep you informed of any additional information we learn that is important and relevant to the safety of our students.

It's common today to see newcomers buying and renovating quaint cottages in Treme, adding rooms or tearing out walls and ceilings of existing spaces to expand interiors. Adolph Bynum became enamored with the historic neighborhood long before its recent renaissance, though.
He began investing in the area in the 1970s.
"He learned to appreciate older properties from his mother, but couldn't afford property in the French Quarter," said Bynum's wife, Naydja Bynum. "With Treme just one block from it, he had a vision that this could be 'his French Quarter' and decided to invest and move in."
But there were obvious obstacles that Adolph, a Xavier University School of Pharmacy graduate, faced in the early days.
"During that time," Naydja recalled, "the neighborhood, especially the block we live in now, was in poor condition, very dirty -- prostitution and drug activities, with look-out people to protect them. There were jacked-up cars getting mechanical work in the streets, with oil spills and car parts everywhere. His friends thought he'd lost his mind."
The young entrepreneur soon realized that in order to make a difference in the neighborhood, he would have to purchase and renovate, if possible, the entire block.
"For the most part," Naydja said, "that is what he did."
The Bynums own seven buildings on their block, as well as nearby properties connected to local music history: a double where Fats Domino once lived, and a bar, formerly The Treme Music Hall, that once was owned by jazz clarinetist Alphonse Picou's family.
All told, the Bynums owns 13 properties in the neighborhood, including their own home -- a replica of a Creole cottage that received the 2002 New Orleans Historic Landmarks Commission's Honor Award for New Construction.
The Bynums met on a Zulu float in 1985, but it wasn't until they crossed paths again at a social event a decade later that they discovered they shared a mutual interest in architecture and history -- as well as a passion for the card game Biz Whist, which they each had played in college.
Seated in her dining room, surrounded by paintings and sculpture by local artists and art work collected on trips around the world, Naydja swept her finger across her iPad, layering card over card in an online version of the game she enjoys with her husband and friends. Looking up from the dining table, she pointed to the brick-between-post wall that's a highlight of the space, an emulation of walls in authentic cottages in the neighborhood.
"Everyone admires that," she said, "and it wasn't part of the original plan.
"For a long time Adolph wanted to build a house that represented New Orleans historical properties. Buying this location allowed him to fulfill the dream, while contributing something positive to Treme."
Nestled snugly into a typically narrow 27-foot-wide by 120-foot-deep lot, the Bynums' new -- but historically accurate -- cottage replaces a red-brick, single-story mid-20th-century slab house.
After buying and demolishing the slab structure, work began on a foundation for the new house, sloping it toward the street to minimize the chance of flooding.
As the Bynums originally planned to occupy the house for a short time and then sell it, architect Webster Deadman proposed a traditional floor plan, with a large living room stretching across the front, opening into a separate dining room, with a door into the kitchen.
Anticipating an active role in the house's design, Naydja, who holds a doctorate in nursing and serves as a part-time adjunct faculty member of Dillard University's School of Nursing, signed up for an interior decorating class at Delgado Community College.
Within weeks, walls on the initial floor plan began to disappear as the entire ground floor became an open, welcoming space, geared toward entertaining. Gradually it became obvious to Adolph and Naydja that creative thinking inside the four-square box was turning an investment into a permanent home.
"With the changes, the interior began to open up like a flower," she said. "We managed the construction ourselves by sub-contracting with various professionals to do the work. As far as the decor, the decoration class at Delgado helped us decide on color, layout and other particulars to help make our home what we wanted it to look like."
That was, as she phrased it, a "new-old home." Details such as cypress cabinets, mantles and bookcases, as well as the brick-between-post wall with Louisiana bricks and cypress posts, provide a warm and inviting showcase for the couple's vibrant art collection.
Above the mantelpiece in the den, a jazzy panorama of houses on their block by local artist Terrance Osborne enlivens the room, which like the other ground-floor areas is painted in earth tones to unify the spaces.
"It's our favorite room in the house because it flows with the living, dining and kitchen areas and has three tall French doors in the den that allow us to see and interact with the bricked patio and garden," Naydja said. The open plan also allows her to cook in the kitchen and still chat with guests in the dining room or den.
Throughout, Brazilian cherry wood floors provide a distinct contrast to the warm tones of the Louisiana cypress of the kitchen cabinets, floor-to-ceiling entertainment center, bookcases and mantelpiece in the den and corner china cabinet in the dining room.
In the living room, another Osborne painting, of Naydja's birthplace, Davant near Pointe a la Hache in Plaquemines Parish, hangs above the sofa. On an adjacent table, a photograph of her grandfather, Alexander Plicque, shares spaces with a black rotary-dial telephone, still in use, that she salvaged from her mother-in-law's house in 2004.
At one end of the living room, a gently-curving staircase leads to the second floor, where the master suite opens to a pair of walk-in closets. Built-in cypress chests of drawers in the hallway add additional storage. In the bathroom, cypress wainscoting sets off a claw-footed tub.
In the attic, a sewing and craft room features custom-made cypress cabinets and tables.
Naydja, who serves on the board of the Preservation Resource Center, acknowledges that some of their ideas for reviving the neighborhood have sparked ongoing debate. "There's always someone with another point of view," she said with a shrug of her shoulders.
But they still have more dreams of further revitalization in Treme, one renovation at a time.

I think it is perfectly normal for me to be surfing the motorcycle sales ads while we sit halfway through a 30-centimetre snowfall. I can't think of a better time to dream of warm winds, open roads and blue skies.
There's nothing like a four-wheel drift across a full parking lot to bring on the longing for dry pavement, either. An empty parking lot? Well, that's another story for another day.
I guess it's the slow increase of daylight time, the subtle promise of evening sunsets over Conception Bay or the hills of Humber Valley, or the far horizon off the southern shore that bring the bike back to the top of mind. That, and the fact that most riders will tell you it is never far from top of mind.
Yes, we have weeks - and not just a couple - left to survive before we can swing a leg over the steed and get those horses galloping, but this weekend is one weekend closer, and we can pin our pining on that, for now.
Have we counted the minutes - has it come to that? Of course it has. A hundred and fourteen days to May 24 from the time this is written.
Not to suggest May 24 will be the earliest ride, just to say that is the traditional start to all things summer. Even if there is still snow on the ground.
Will we ride before then? Quite likely. The diehards among us will trot out the two-wheeler at the slightest hint of acceptable conditions. Acceptable, not appropriate, as in 4 C is acceptable for a quick run up the shore if the sun is good. Watch the leftover ice.
Late on a Saturday night, snow still piled high on the lawn, a friend looked at me and said he would take his bike out now, if he could.
I couldn't disagree, or even question his sanity.
Without questioning my own.

Ex-NFL players say teams gave pain pills out 'like candy'May 21, 2014 – 5:46 am by Ryan Phillips
The NFL is about to face a whirlwind of backlash thanks to a lawsuit filed Tuesday on behalf of more than 600 former players. The suit alleges that team physicians and trainers across the league routinely handed out powerful drugs and other controlled substances on game days to help players mask their pain.
Though it's not shocking that the use of painkillers is rampant across the league, the plaintiffs in the suit give details about the drugs they claim teams persuaded them to use and how severe injuries were actually covered up. Painkillers like Percodan, Percocet and Vicodin, anti-inflammatories such as Toradol, and sleep aids like Ambien were "handed out like candy at Halloween," according to lead attorney Steven Silverman.
Former San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Jeremy Newberry is one of the plaintiffs and has been vocal about the fact that the drugs worked, but caused long-term problems. The 38-year-old Newberry now suffers from kidney failure, high blood pressure and violent headaches. He is one of eight plaintiffs named in the suit.
Newberry claims he "often" walked into the 49ers locker room in a walking boot and crutches, then lined up behind as many as two dozen teammates for "treatment." He would get a cocktail of painkillers and/or Toradol and within a few minutes head out onto the field to play.
The NFL settled a lawsuit with former players regarding concussions for $765 million less than a year ago.
Many of the players involved claim they knew they were taking powerful drugs, but felt that they would lose their jobs if they didn't adhere to the advice of team officials and use the substances provided.
Three members of the 1985 NFL champion Chicago Bears – quarterback Jim McMahon, Hall of Fame defensive end Richard Dent and offensive lineman Keith Van Horne – all report serious debilitating effects, like chronic muscle and bone ailments to permanent nerve and organ damage. McMahon and Van Horne are among several players who claim they were never told about broken bones they suffered and were fed pills to mask the pain.
Former NFL offensive lineman Kyle Turley had the following to say:
"There was a room set up near the locker room and you got in line. Obviously, we were grown adults and had a choice. But when a team doctor is saying this will take the pain away, you trust them."
The culture described by players is seriously disturbing. It's one thing to tough it out through an injury at some point, it's another to do that every week for an entire career. The fact that the NFL has such a strong stance against a drug like marijuana yet allows teams to pump their players full of these painkillers is ridiculous.
Something has to change and hopefully this lawsuit brings these behind-the-scenes practices to light.

Today saw two previously relatively successful NHL coaches get the ax... The stuggling Capitals Bruce Boudreau and the Hurricanes Paul Maurice are gone... These are two coaches who could no longer get their star players Alex Ovechkin and Eric Staal (respectively) going.
Ovechkin's verbal battles with Boudreau were well documented... And he he seems a shell of the dominant player we all know he could be. Boudreau also tried last year to change his team from a fast skating offensive juggernaut, to a defensively-responsible and cautious snooze-fest of wasted years of high draft picks' talent. After a fast start, it is no longer working.
Maurice's albatross was Staal. An NHL all-star and cup winner who is already a whopping minus 17 and only has 5 goals. Their franchise player is on pace for the worst season of his career.
So what does this mean for the Devils? Well, Peter DeBoer better look out! The Devils revolving door of coaches is now becoming a bi-annual event.
What's double-trouble for DoBoer is that he has TWO underachieving star players. Parise and Kovalchuk.
Also, his team is on the playoff bubble and shows no signs of ever getting off until the last game of the season. For fans, it is a frustrating season. Though obviously better than last year's first half debacle, the team is inconsistent from game to game and period to period. Third periods especially have been a sore spot with the Devils creating little or no scoring chances while giving up long up stretches puck possession to other teams in our own end.
Lou can't like what he sees. While gaining major strides in some areas of the game like the amazing penalty kill... The Devils PP continues to be anemic as well as giving up crucial shorthanded opportunities and goals.
He NEEDS to get his stars going or it will be another short season.
With Lou's track record... DeBoer needs to start make the right changes... or he will soon be the one changed...
for another coach.

P. Slane (CfA)
With sub-arcsecond angular resolution accompanied by a broad spectral bandpass and spatially resolved spectral capabilities, the Chandra X-ray Observatory provides a unique capability for the study of supernova remnants. In only the first year of operation, Chandra has already returned stunning images of SNRs which reveal the distribution of ejecta synthesized in the stellar explosions, the distinct properties of the forward and reverse shocks, and the presence of faint shells surrounding compact remnants. Studies of the emission spectra on small spatial scales have revealed variations in the composition of ejecta and in the ionization state of shocked regions. High resolution images have identified clear finger-like structures produced by Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities at the shock interface. Hard-band imaging has uncovered underlying synchrotron nebulae which harbor compact sources, presumably representing neutron stars produced in the stellar explosions, and the spectra of these nebulae show radial variations associated with the finite lifetime of synchrotron emitting electrons injected in the central regions.
Perhaps most importantly, the high angular resolution now presents us with the opportunity for comparisons of unique emission regions in different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, finally providing a complement to optical and high resolution radio images. In this talk I will discuss these and other results from early Chandra investigations of SNRs, and summarize ongoing and upcoming studies expected to broaden other horizons in SNR research.

Perry Moore, Gay Film Exec Behind Narnia Found Dead At Home In Apparent Overdose
Perry Moore, the executive producer of The Chronicles of Narnia, and the author of gay superhero book Hero, was pronounced dead after his body was found unconscious in his New York City apartment. He was 39. Moore, who wrote Hero after seeing Marvel kill off the gay character Northstar in 2005, reportedly died of a OxyContin overdose. Narnia, with total receipts of $1.5 billion, is ranked the 16th highest-grossing film series ever. Moore was found by his partner Hunter Hill in their bathroom.
Never mind Westboro. Perry Moore was openly devotedly Christian (hence the connection to the Narnia work) and gay. And with the Irish surname Moore, yet! Gays will probably protest at his funeral.
How very sad…definitely too young to go! RIP
I'm so sad! I loved hero. R.I.P Perry Moore
How completely sad and tragic. Rich, good looking successful and dead because of a stupid drug. Why is it that these people with everything to live for end up dying over nothing.
I recently lost a good friend to an overdose. He was bright, funny, great looking. It was a huge shock. It torments me not knowing if it was an accident or intentional.
@Soupy: It was accidental. Moore suffered from chronic back pain for years.
How do you know it was accidental?
I'm not arguing the point, but without additional information, it's well known that OxyContin is highly addictive and has a narrow therapeutic window [the gap between being effective and being fatal].
It's typically very closely monitored but it's a drug widely available on the street.
Chronic-pain patients very ofen become very desperate and despondent, due to the pain — no matter how well the rest of their life may be going.
My sympathies to his partner, family and friends.
This makes me very very sad. I loved Hero, and I loved The Chronicles of Narnia. He will be greatly missed.
Wow, this really is a very sad thing to hear. His book was such a wonderful piece of work that made me experience a range of emotions, and also made me look forward to reading much more from him. Just a tragic loss
This so sad. My partner lives with chronic neck and back pain for the last decade or so.. We tried spinal fusion surgeries, and other procedures without success. After many years of unbelievable pain, we found a terrific pain management physician. So, I've seen the impact of chronic and severe pain to my partner
If Oxycontin is being used for pain management for severe and intolerable pain, it isn't extremely addictive. My partner has been taking it for 4 years, and he isn't addicted to the medication. This medication allows him to enjoy his live, and he isn't over-medicated due to the medication. However, a person taking Oxycontin must constantly meet with his physician due to the underlying condition and the nature of the medication.
From my perspective, this situation should never happen. His doctor should have been completely in control of his prescription usage. My partner's physician frequently requests to inspect bottles of medication to confirm he is complying with his prescription. Every so often, he request lab work to confirm the level of medication in the blood stream, and to confirm the impact to his health. I think any responsible physician should handle pain management in this manner.
So, I hate reading such sad and uninformed comments. This situation should have been avoided, and his physician should have been tracking his usage of medication.
RIP Perry….Hero was a great book that brought a smile to my face!
Oh wow, how horrible! His partner found him to, oh my god what tradgedy. I absolutely loved this guy's book, it was so, so, inspiring to me. I am so sad to hear he passed on. =(

Some Google users were so upset they fled to Bing, the Microsoft search engine. Incredibly, some people thought the picture was of Hugo Chavez, the recently deceased president of Venezuela. Oops, wrong Chavez.
One religious blog, First Things, argued it wasn't such a stretch to honor Cesar Chavez on Easter Sunday, because his leadership of the farm workers movement was shaped and informed by his Christian beliefs:
"For Chavez, social reform was never merely external. Without peace of spirit and purity of heart, there was little point in pursuing justice. Collective bargaining, just wages, shorter workdays: for Chavez none of these made sense outside the fact of his risen Lord."
What do you think? Did the Google Doodle go over the line?

CLEVELAND -- Max Scherzer had his first really bad start in a long, long time. Brad Ausmus drew his first ejection as a manager. Nick Castellanos had the first three-hit game of his career. Joe Nathan had his first blown save since April 9.
The Tigers were swept for the first time this season.
The Cleveland Indians scored the winning run with two outs in the bottom of the 13th inning Wednesday afternoon when Al Alburquerque committed a balk with the bases loaded and Ryan Raburn at the plate.
After Alex Avila homered in the top of the 13th to give the Tigers a 10-9 lead, Phil Coke surrendered an infield single and hit a batter to put two on with one out in the bottom of the inning. Michael Brantley then singled to left field to score Mike Aviles from second base with the tying run.
David Murphy grounded into a fielder's choice for the second out of the inning. Alburquerque entered the game at that point and fell behind Yan Gomes before completing an intentional walk to load the bases.
Alburquerque missed inside on the first pitch to Raburn, then committed a balk to force across the winning run.
Coke suffered the loss. J.D. Martinez and Victor Martinez hit home runs for the Tigers.
The Tigers appeared to be in good shape after scoring two runs in the eighth inning to break a 7-7 tie. They had runners at first and second and nobody out when Victor Martinez hit a slow roller to second base. Mike Aviles fielded the ball and threw to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera for the force, but Cabrera whiffed on the catch entirely as the ball went into left field.
Ian Kinsler scored on the error to give the Tigers an 8-7 lead, and J.D. Martinez followed with an RBI single to give the Tigers some breathing room.
But David Murphy hit a two-run home run off Tigers closer Joe Nathan with one out in the ninth inning to tie the game at 9-9. It was the first blown save for Nathan since April 9.
Lonnie Chisenhall drew a one-out walk in the 10th, the first walk issued by Ian Krol this season, and went to third on a single to left by Mike Aviles. Michael Bourn followed with a fly ball that was not deep at all to left field. Chisenhall tagged up in an attempt to score the winning run, but Rajai Davis threw him out at the plate to extend the game.
Scherzer allowed seven runs on 12 hits -- both season highs -- in seven innings of work. He walked two and struck out five.
It was an impressive accomplishment that Scherzer recovered from an absolute disastrous start to the game and managed to get through seven innings. He was actually in line for the win until the home run by Murphy off Nathan. Scherzer had allowed a combined six runs in his previous six starts.
Cabrera and manager Ausmus were ejected in the sixth inning following a dispute with home plate umpire Tim Timmons.
Tigers' highlights
-- The Tigers jumped on Indians starter Zach McAllister for four runs in the first inning. The Tigers already held a 2-0 lead on a sacrifice fly by Cabrera and a single by Victor Martinez when J.D. Martinez hit a two-run home run -- his second of the series -- to give the Tigers an early 4-0 lead.
-- Victor Martinez hit a McAllister offering just over the all in right field to cut his team's deficit to 6-5 in the third inning. The home run was the 12th of the season for Martinez and the eighth this month. That's the most home runs Martinez has ever hit in one month in his career. He hit seven each in May 2007, June 2009 and September 2010.
-- The Tigers rallied for two runs in the top of the fifth inning to tie the game at 7-7. A Victor Martinez double, his third hit of the game, put runners at second and third with no outs. A sacrifice fly by Austin Jackson made it 7-6, and Castellanos followed with a two-out double to tie the game. The double gave Castellanos 20 RBIs this season.
-- Davis is not known for having a strong arm, but his clutch throw in the 10th inning gave him his fourth outfield assist of the season.
Tigers' lowlights
-- Fly balls hit shallow to the outfield were adventurous for the Tigers early on. Asdrubal Cabrera reached base with a single when a ball dropped in right between Jackson, Danny Worth and Kinsler in the first inning. Worth then lost a pop fly in the sun on a single by Michael Bourn in the second inning. The ball eventually fell in safely just behind Worth in shallow left.
-- The Indians quickly overcame their early four-run deficit against Scherzer. They scored one run in the first on a sacrifice fly by David Murphy, then added five more in the second on six hits and a walk. Lonnie Chisenhall, Mike Aviles and Murphy each doubled off Scherzer in the second. The fly ball that eluded Worth helped extend the inning, but Scherzer was hit hard.
-- Chisenhall hit a home run off Scherzer in the third to make it 7-5.
-- With the score still tied at 7-7, the Tigers loaded the bases with two outs in the seventh inning. But Rajai Davis grounded out to second base to strand three runners and leave the score tied.
-- Josh Tomlin, the scheduled starter for the Indians for their game Thursday, entered the game in the 11th and struck out the side in order.
Game notes
-- Carlos Santana flied out to left field for both the first and the last out of the second inning for the Indians.
-- The final line for McAllister: 2-plus IP, 5H, 5R, 4ER, 2BB, 2SO. He threw 59 pitches, 36 for strikes, and saw his ERA climb from 5.36 to 5.89. The final line for Scherzer: 7IP, 12H, 7R, 7ER, 2BB, 5SO. His ERA climbed from 1.83 to 2.59.
-- The Tigers lost a challenge after Victor Martinez was ruled out on a close play at first base to end the sixth inning. The play was upheld upon video review.
-- The Tigers drew a season-high 10 walks and stranded 14 runners.

Pierce Transit Redraws Bus Boundaries
The Public Transportation Improvement Conference, convened to consider new boundaries for Pierce Transit, voted unanimously last night to contract the transit agency's boundaries, excluding the car-centric suburban and exurban areas that voted against last year's proposed transit funding measure from the transit agency's boundaries.
After voters rejected a sales-tax increase---three-tenths of one percent---in 2011, Pierce Transit had to reduce service by 42 percent---
cutting routes, eliminating service after 8 pm on weekdays and 6 pm on weekends, and reducing service frequency throughout the system. Some exurban areas are no longer served by transit at all.
In response to the vote, Pierce Transit is effectively saying to the suburbs: "If you don't want to pay for bus service, fine. But you can't have bus service anymore, either."
The decision comes after ten solid years in which the Tacoma suburbs (including Buckley, Bonney Lake, Orting, and South Hill) have voted against every transit measure that has gone to a countywide ballot. Although the suburbs' opposition to transit once
didn't matter---Tacoma's pro-transit vote was enough to pass any transit measure---massive population growth in unincorporated, car-centric Pierce County has swung the pendulum in Pierce County in the anti-transit direction.
As Andrew Austin at Transportation Choices Coalition sums up the situation:
None of this is rocket science. It is extremely expensive to provide fixed-route bus service to sprawling car-centric areas. In those sprawling communities, they don't see the value of bus service (or don't even have any service) and have more conservative anti-tax voters than urban areas like Tacoma. As a result, they came out swinging against
save our buses, and we lost. ...
We have hit the rock bottom of bus service in Pierce County. Under the current map, communities that are willing to pay a little more to restore thousands of hours of bus service will be able to do just that.
The new map eliminates about 200 square miles from Pierce Transit's service area, including Orting, Sumner, Bonney Lake, Buckley, DuPont and parts of unincorporated Pierce County.
