Drupal + India = opportunity
We sure had a blast, thanks for making it, Dries!
Great news!
If you are reading this and want to make Drupal work beter in India and generally in non-English and/or multilingual environments, you are probably interested in the Drupal 8 Multilingual Initiative. See http://drupal.org/node/1260534 for the overall plan and get in touch with me if you'd like to help make Drupal a much better system for non-English languages: http://hojtsy.hu/contact
I would say that the IT sector in India is very English focused.I would assume they would be familiar with English. For India in particular, I think what would be more helpful is to have content that is published in English be simple for easier to understand and grasp.
I may be wrong but I am pretty sure of what I know of India.
Dharmesh, you see, D8 Multilingual initiative is not about translation documentation for site creators. It is about improving multilingual capabilities of Drupal, i.e. it will be easier to create multilingual sites. I think it is more than important in India, because not all it's citizens are IT professionals, and most of the sites should handle content in many languages.
Renat, you are very right. Thanks! Indeed Drupal 8 targets to improve the functionality to build multilingual websites.
India Rocks!!!
This is so exciting!
I've personally encountered a few people from India who 'get' Drupal in terms of both community and code, it's great to see this is growing and it's wonderful to have the common language of Drupal to connect more with others from around the world and innovate without restrictions.
It's so much more exciting than my previous experiences working with teams in India on OSCommerce, XOOPS, etc. projects - the community aspect of Drupal really does make it stand out amongst other alternatives to a degree which simply cannot be replicated by code alone.
Really great that you had the opportunity to visit and I hope you get the chance to do it again soon, congrats to all involved!
Your next trip should be to Indonesia. Here, we have 240 million people. Not quite as big, but still, quite an opportunity. :)
It was nice to meet you guys at DrupalCamp Mumbai, Very nice keynote session by you, and a great community contribution session by Jacob Singh.
Waiting for your next trip.
Thank you,
Kuldip Gohil
It was so unfortunate for me that I was unable to attend those camps. I am from eastern part of India, Kolkata, and trying hard to build the community here. I have attended DrupalCon SF and I would like to recreate the Drupal fun and feelings here at this part of India, Kolkata, one of the Metro city among the four in India (Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Kolkata).
I do hope one day you will also visit Kolkata and we will rock again here at Kolkata. As far as opportunity is concerned, I know NodeOne already reached Kolkata to train one of the major IT company, which have started operation in Drupal verticals.
Here at Kolkata, TCS, CapGemini, Ericsson, CTS have built their Drupal team and started executing projects on Drupal as biggies and there are lot of small shops too who are into the business already, but there are severe scarcity in skilled Drupalistas.
Good to see lot of Drupal developers emerging from the country like India..
These kind of awareness programs will make Drupal CMS popular and many companies will start using it!.
India will rock soon!
Wow ... I was waiting for this posting since I attended Drupal Camp Deccan in Hyderabad and was waiting to know what Dries felt of the Indian Drupal community and its scope.
Drupal influence is increasingly growing in India with small/media/large scale technology players. Hope you enjoyed your trip to India.
This was truly a great experience. It was a pleasure meeting up with Ron and you. Tekriti definitely looks forward to an even greater association with Drupal and Acquia
Though I have missed the meeting, I got the updates from my friend. And yes with the Big Companies Like Accenture, Capgemini, TCS providing Drupal solutions for clients like Royal Mail, Turner and more, the Drupal will surely flourish in India with more speed and also contribute to the community.
Rahul - Capgemini Drupal Factory.
AweSome!!Drupal will surely flourish in India with more speed .Thanks for Sharing
I too missed the chance to join DrupalCon in India with a sad feeling, but I'm completely agree with the views of Dries!! Drupal is gonna be a leading open source CMS user in India.
Thanks for the detailed write up Dries.
"well-known Drupal sites that we assumed were developed in the US or Europe were primarily delivered from India."
As of my experience, most of the time all high level design happens in US or other countries (eg. for a functionality, whether can combine two or more contrib module or write a new module(custom) specific to it. If custom, how this would be implemented, etc...). Most of these decisions are responsible for non-function requirements like performance, scale-ability etc...
So most of the elaboration phase would be in other countries and construction in India for big projects.
So yes, we delivered but not really started from the beginning :)
Would be great, if drupal guides like acquia, lullabot focus India not only on Drupal development but also on overall architecture(where to use what).
Dries, you are a great story teller! Stars working crazily for you!
I scan once again, every captured screenshot from the India 2011 photo album. Great!
You did not miss to capture this: http://buytaert.net/album/india-2011/capitalism-is-bad. :-)
Wish you Best!

Sunday's lineups (updated with Jackson injury): Tigers at Indians
UPDATE: Austin Jackson was originally in the Tigers lineup, but was scratched. No official reason was given, but it looked like his left knee was bothering him as he walking around the clubhouse earlier today.
Quintin Berry starts in place of Andy Dirks, who's 3-for-19 off Ubaldo Jimenez.

Dirks. 2 for 7 in 2012
Berry: 2 for 7
Boesch 5 for 22.
Fielder: 9 for 30
Cabrera: 10 for 32
DY:10 for 30
JP: 6 for 19
Austin jackson 7 for 18. Good to see him there
Infante 3 for 10? They were both in the NL
Laird : 2 for 4
Avila: 5 for 19
Iott: Benoit not available. Valverde could pitch if needed
I'd rather see Boesch batting 2nd and Berry at the bottom and Avila 6th.
Maybe Berry can parlay yesterday into a good game today.
I think Boesch is on the verge of breaking out and batting in front of Cabby might really work for him right now.
We need the nine men chosen for today's game to grind out every AB. Their pitcher is prone to walking batters. We need a laugher today. Go Tigers!!!!
Why the 3:05 start??
@Beck t's something the Indians tried on some Sunday games this year based on fan feedback. ~ "@mrw5150: Why are the tigers playing at 3:05?"
So does it increase attendance? Chris Perez wants to know. Maybe they should have their Dollar Dog Night everyday. I liked that one.
Anybody seen the Kimbrell kid, closer for Atlanta? 101 K and 14 BB. I'd love to have one like that.
Detroit @ Cleveland. Five runs wins. Neither team scored six runs in any game yet this year!!! First time today??? Go Tigers!!!!!!!!!
Not swapping Dirks and Infante today. That's different.
Jimenez RHP.
wow loosing AJ could destroy any playoff hopes – regardless of starting pitching or bullpen performance. This offense is very AJ-centric – and QB has 6 hits in his past 38 plate appearances (.222 OBP over that time span (aug 4-now)). The bottom of this lineup had better produce.
Austin Jackson apperances: 69-52 / in Starts: 69-50
8-17 without him.
We were fortunate to get runs, but there's not much point in having your first five hitters with patient ABs and your sixth man swing at several pitches off the plate. Get your head in the game, Boesch.
Then Cleveland does the same thing in their turn at bat (shakes head).
When did Smyly even pitch last?
Vs Cle 2 BB 3 SO 1 inn
Santana and Cabrera are S hitters
Cleveland 28th with bases loaded
Inconsistent strike zone so far. Corners going both ways.
ChiSox 9-2
One of the few times Rick didn't have good control. Usually he gets clipped by umpires on the low pitch.
Avila still have a healthy 354 OBP
Infante has caught the hitless wonder bug. Can't remember the last time I saw hime get a hit.
74 SO for Berry
should have batted berry 9th, and shifted the rest of the lineup – up one spot.
Infante was 2 for 4 yesterday. He is hitting 296 last 10.
He also moved the runners on friday setting the little rally
Well ….hope the Tigers can start hitting again.
I must just be seeing Infante bat at the wrong times. Can Rick get through 6 innings?
This one is starting to look bad. They're getting shut down by Ubaldo because they have no plate patience. They swing at garbage. Been doing it all year.
We shouldn't be playing so many close games. What a season.
Does anyone feel comfortable with a 1-run lead?
That the part I dont get. He had 8 E in 83 games and now he has 7 in 45 for the Tigers. And lost range. How do you lose range changing teams?
8 in 45
3 screw ups this inning……terrific. And the Indians aren't bothered by shadows but apparently we are just going to cough this one up!
4 double plays that should of been turned freaking fantastic! This is the Tigers we know
Completely sure the bats will disappear now too! That's just the Tigers way!
So many blown chances. Does anyone think one of those two plays at first base was an out?
These guys are turning me into a cranky old man.
This game is why so many of us feel there is just something lacking with this team. The continued terrible at-bats by Boesch and Young. They don't listen to the coach if he is telling them? Infante has a good rep in the National League but comes to the Tigers and looks below average. Seven years is long enough. The manager and coaches need to go.
The two S hitters are better against LHP
Can't even decide who is going to catch a routine pop up! Comedy errors, they really don't want to win do they?
The pitcher is supposed to direct that play
Well the ump definitely screwed that one up but the throw was still horrible!
Six runs in Cleveland!!!!!!!!!! Wow!!!!!!!!!! MVP!!!!!!
31 tying, 106 to go ahead for his career
The 3 run bomb!!!!!!
Carrying the team almost by himself.
Not sure I'd leave Smyly in here but, we will see!
Way to go drew I was wrong!
If Miguel Cabrera isn't the MVP, there's no such thing.
I agree but all those media members are in love with Trout…..they've already made up their minds.
When's the last time Dotel got in a game??
6 days ago
Coke's best pitch in two months!!!! Strike three!!
Still leading in avg, RBI, OPS and TB
well jose f'd up another one. Go thing we didn't tack on those runs in the top of the inning. Berry wasn't paing attention on those wild pitches and he could of advanced and scored. And the big boys didn't com through. Typical.
Why Kelly in right and not Garcia?
That was bad
Great! Before he came in I was hoping they wouldn't bring Valverde in because of how much he worked the last few days and unfortunately I was right. But it all goes back to inning when they either didn't get the calls or turn the plays. They played bad baseball and almost got away with it. They didn't tack on runs in the ninth and they brought in a closer who had worked a lot lately instead of bringing in a Dotel or Albequerque. Bad baseball. Bad umping just plain bad!
This loss end the current longest winning sreak in MLB.
Gk,,, Excellent observation about QB's baserunning. He was obviously not anticipating balls in the dirt despite the pitcher repeatedly throwing grounders to his catcher.
Santana was 0 for 8 with 2 SO vs JV
Don't get me wrong I'm not letting Jose off the hook here, but I also think he deserves a lot more credit than he gets around Detroit. Everyone loved him last year. My point is that the team as a whole did everything in their power to lose thi game. Nobody is off the hook here. Nobody. Well maybe Laird?
Excellent points punctuated with a sense of balance.
Well, it comes down to this regarding a closer. When he comes in, everyone should be confident that the game is in capable hands. How many feel that way when Valverde comes styling into the game? There's your answer.
There are more holes on this team than can be discussed without writing a book, and I'm not in a book writing mood. Tomorrow's game has become a must win and would only accomplish keeping us where we started today. I seem to have said that before. Nobody is going to help us since we seem to be the only club that can beat Chicago. I don't see us going 13-3 to finish up. No matter how it all ends up, the most frustrating Tiger season in the last half century is nearing the end. That's a good thing.
I bet a lot of us knew that Miggy would get to Smith to put us back ahead. And I also bet that a lot of us knew that the Cap Tapper would blow a huge game. Such an unusual game in so many ways; even they way we scored in the first, all the way to the Tribe going ahead in the fifth. so many close calls, huge errors, lack of communication, great stops, then hurried throws; only our Tigers could present this brand of Baseball. Poor old Infante almost has as many errors as a shortstop. He must be scared to death of Jim. Prince couldn't control his emotions today, and probably is the first guy in a long time to score a knockout in the late rounds. I still can't believe what I witnessed today. Hope it's not a back breaker, but it surely buckled our knees. Through all of that, there were three things I liked about the game today:
1. Dirks AB's; not only an important one in the first, but of most importance in the 8th. If Jackson can't start, he's my leadoff guy. A true grit player.
2. Smyly's relief job; should have been no runs charged to him because of the WWF match on the foul line. He will be the five starter next year.
3. Miggy's ability to hit on the big stage. This is why he is the MVP over Trout. If nothing else, we as Tiger fans have the pleasure of watching him bat each game over the season.
It's already been said, but QB does not need to be in the leadoff spot for 5 AB's. And the one talent he has, he hasn't utilized it for any good lately. Don't start him, unless there is no alternative. I love his energy, but not during Prime Time. All the pressure is on Fister tomorrow, because a loss is three down, mad that ain't where we want to be at this stage in the season. Good night all!
That's a tough loss. First things first. We make sure no one is left behind in the whirlpool. Aching bodies everywhere. We started our first game in Cleveland in June without AJ. But the next game we have a callup from Toledo, one Quentin Berry. That's worked out very well. Ironically we get ready for our last game in Cleveland for the season and AJ can not go because he crashed into the fence yesterday trying to make another impossible catch. Somebody jot down a special note for our outfield to get extra work next season when we come to Cleveland for the first time. Good news. Smyly was ready to go. He did the job. That might have been the best true middle relief effort of the season. Coke's strileout pitch was nasty. Stay nasty Phil. No day off tomorrow. We get to play the Hawk Sox one last time. Two games down. Seventeen to go. No time for the timid. Anyone going to the game tomorrow?? Go Tigers!!!!
It may be no time for the timid, but time's about up for those of us weary of watching bad baseball. A team is usually in the postseason hunt because they're playing well and people enjoy watching them play. We're only in it because we're in an incredibly weak division and there's no joy in watching them play. I can't stand to watch the things they do out there, and it's only a half century of being a Tiger fan that keeps me in it. It's about as much fun as watching an exsanguination race.
Well fellas – listened to the game while slamming smallmouth and pike out in ann arbor today. I saw the first 2 "controversial" plays – but thought they were correct. Feel like the dugout let avila down. Thought miggy was a MVP player. And VV hopefully got one out of the way.
Win tomorrow and we are 1 out. Lots of games left fellas.
Could Smyly start a game or two down the stretch against a stacked LHB team?
Could JL get creative and try someone else as closer. Like BV or Al Al? or a rested Benoit? or Dotel, or……………..

When the Saginaw Spirit look to lock up their first West Division title this weekend, they might have to do it without one of their top six forwards.
Spirit coach and General Manager Todd Watson said on his Monday radio show that Spirit forward John McFarland is unlikely to be available for the final three games of the regular season, starting Thursday in Windsor.
"I don't expect him to go," Watson said. "I think he's out for the regular season."
McFarland, who has 18 goals and 27 points in 36 games since being traded to the Spirit in December, left Saturday's game against Sault Ste. Marie favoring on his arm.
Without elaborating on his injury, Watson said McFarland is unlikely to play, but didn't rule him out.
"Would I be shocked if he played?" No," Watson said. "Do I expect him to play? No."
Another Spirit player, Jordan Szwarz, is also battling an upper body injury. Watson said it's "possible" that Szwarz plays Thursday.

The Sports Week, sponsored by the Alabama High School Athletic Directors and Coaches Association along with the Alabama High School Athletic Association, is in Huntsville for the last of a six-year run. The Huntsville Sports Commission, which plays a vital role in hosting the event, has drawn raves while the event has been in the Rocket City but it will move back to its original home of Montgomery next summer.
Montgomery is not only centrally located but is home to both the AHSADCA and AHSAA.
In the meantime, tonight's soccer will be followed by a baseball doubleheader at 4 p.m. Tuesday at Joe Davis Stadium with a softball doubleheader set for 6 p.m. Wednesday at Metro Kiwanis Sportsplex.
Thursday at UAH's Spragins Hall, a volleyball series starts at 2 p.m., followed by girls and boys basketball games beginning at 6 p.m.
The week, which features coaching and rules clinics, will conclude with the football game at 7 p.m. Friday at Alabama A&M's Louis Crews Stadium.
All games feature rising seniors except for football, which employs graduated seniors.
Tickets are $5 per event.
The North girls soccer team lost one of its top players when striker Annalika Steyn of Class 6A state champion Spain Park had to drop out because of a commitment to play with her club team in a tournament. The only other player on any of the soccer rosters who didn't arrive was Fairhope's Brandon Landau, who had transportation issues.
Both North teams won last year, the girls 3-0 and the boys 2-0, and holds series leads of 7-1-1 and 5-3-1, respectively.
Among the players hoping to meet with success is New Hope midfielder Natalie Harding. She's the first player from her school, which has never made the playoffs in the seven seasons it's fielded a team, selected to play in the game.
"There's a lot of good players coming together,'' Harding said. "We have player that will be able to link up and hopefully win.''

How to make a crucible capable of containing molten aluminum?
This fellah makes a crucible out of materials right at home. The only thing I don't have is the graphite, which is no big purchase for me. Hope this helps.
Making a Graphite Crucible 14:55
Disposable propane tanks, which are about 1/32" thick burn through in as few as 3 melts. It's quite dangerous, as it may not start dripping until you take your crucible out of the furnace...
I've recently started working with copper, and the higher sustained temperatures are forcing me to look beyond steel... Not excited about shelling out big bucks for graphite crucibles, so any ideas will be much appreciated!

Acer Quad-Core A200 10 inch tablet
Rumors about an Acer
Quad Dual-Core tablet
Update 12/2/2011: The initial rumors were wrong, the Acer A200 tablet will contain a Tegra 2 dual-core processor. One of the reasons the Tablet PC Pro community of websites does not publish many rumors about upcoming devices.
Update 12/1/2011: There are conflicting rumors about the A200 tablet about whether it will have the Tegra 2 (dual-core) or Tegra 3 (quad-core) processor. I guess we will need to wait for something official from Acer.
A promotional video has been leaked showing off the new Acer A200 quad-core 10 in tablet PC.
There has not been anything official released by Acer, but from the video and other rumors we hope to see the following features:
- 10 inch Display
- Quad-core processor??
- 1GB RAM; 8GB or 16GB Internal Storage
- Full USB, micro SD, HDMI out
- Wi-Fi and Bluetooth
- "Clear-Fi" perhaps a wireless interface with a TV?
- Front facing camera
- Acer Ring user interface overlay
- ~8 Hours of video playback
That is all we know for now, but from the theme of the video, it seems like it may be released soon to take advantage of the holiday shoppers.

Records from a 2009 meeting of the Passaic Valley Water Commission have been seized by the Passaic County Prosecutor's Office, according to a report on NorthJersey.com.
The investigation might focus on spare parts and equipment that were stored outside the commission's Little Falls treatment plant, the report said. A contract and pay raises were also awarded at the Oct. 21, 2009 meeting.
The public utility provides water to southern Bergen and Passaic counties.

(WBNG Binghamton) Norwich farmer Drew Piaschyk has been tilling his field in Plymouth for more than 30 years, but he said in the past five years his property taxes have increased by 50 percent.
"I can't really compete with garlic that's grown in China or shipped in from California here in tractor trailer load," Piaschyk said.
Senators in the Southern Tier responded by joining a new movement called "Grown in New York," to push new bills supporting New York's largest industry.
With New York's farmers' property taxes averaging $38.41 per acre, they're paying the second most in the nation, according to Farm Credit East, an accounting firm for farmers.
Last month, the assembly joined the Senate in approving a 2 percent tax cap on increases for annual farm assessments.
Sen. Tom O'Mara, R-Big Flats, said helping keep farmers in business will outweigh any losses in revenue by imposing the tax cap.
"We need to be more cognizant of how our taxes affect the cost of living and the cost of doing business in New York state," O'Mara said.
As for Piaschyk, he said unless more can be done to balance soaring costs in farming, he may not last.
"If we can't do that, sell our product for more than our costs, then we're just going to go out of business," he said.
The tax cap bill still needs to be signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo before it can take effect.
That may not happen until the next legislative session, which begins in January.

A note to say thank you for your support during the Million Can Crusade. With the help of Sweet Tomatoes we blew away our Million Can goal by hundreds of thousands! KNIX FM in Phoenix collected over 1.4 million cans for St. Vincent De Paul and we couldn't have done it without you!
St. Vincent De Paul estimates that with the 4 stores they will pick up from in Arizona (Arrowhead, Scottsdale, Desert Ridge and Metro Center) Sweet Tomatoes helped collect over 100 lbs of food.
The VERY cool thing was that during our KNIX Million Can Stop at the Metro Center location, a listener came by and dropped off a check for $2,000! That equals 20,000 cans!
Thank you so much again for participating!

Taylor Lautner and Bill Condon on bringing 'horror' to 'Breaking Dawn'
In a few short hours, millions of "Twilight" fans in the United States and around the world will finally get their chance to see "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1," the second to last film in the series. Clearly the most difficult to adapt out of all of author Stephenie Meyer's novels the process was complicated by the fact it was broken into two films that were shot back-to-back and in locations as diverse as Baton Rouge, LA (tax credits), Vancouver, B.C. (home of "New Moon" and "Eclipse") and Brazil. Speaking to star Taylor Lautner (in an interview embedded in the top of this story), he knew what he was in for.
"I knew it would be tough and it was as tough as it would be," Lautner says. "Sometimes we would literally be filming - because we didn't shoot it in order we filmed it on location. So, sometimes we'd be shooting something from the beginning of the first movie in the morning and then after lunch we are shooting a scene from the end of the second movie. And there is so much going on in-between there and our characters change so much. My character changes so much in the first movie alone, but from the beginning of this till the end of the second? He's a completely different guy."
Lautner adds that there were three factors that assisted him during the shoot.
"[Director] Bill Condon - huge help. Stephenie Meyer on set - huge help. The books - just being able to literally look in the books and read the scenes and just thinking about where my character is at that point," Lautner says. "A lot of things helped. I couldn't have done it alone."
For Condon, the man behind "Gods and Monsters," "Kinsey" and "Dreamgirls" saw an opportunity to partially return to his horror/genre roots.
"I started out making horror movies and I always wanted to make another genre movie and this specific book feels the most like a horror movie Certainly the last half," Condon says. "There is also this incredible connection to the audience and there is something about making a movie where so many people care and so many people are watching. It adds to the intensity of it."
The infamous birth scene at the end of "Pt. 1" is much more intense than some might have expected for a PG-13 film, but as always, the MPAA continues to surprise in what they find suitable.
"Not one comment about that scene [from the MPAA]," Condon reveals. "There was a little hiccup with the honeymoon, but not at all with all that birth stuff. It's pretty typical of what you hear [about the MPAA]. I was sort of glad we got away with that."

Here are some of the best - and worst - of the week:
FREDONIA MUSIC - Congratulations to the Fredonia Central School District's music department. The school was recently recognized as a 2014 Best Community for Music Education by the National Association of Music Merchants. According to School Board President Michael Bobseine, less than 3 percent of districts in the nation receive this designation. "It's a testament to the community at large and a tribute to the efforts of our students, staff, teachers and everyone." We agree.
LIFESAVER - Mr. and Mrs. William Sayers of Fredonia should be proud. Their granddaughter, April Sayers, a fifth-grader at an elementary school in Virginia, was serving as safety patrol in January when she saw a kindergartner go after a toy that was sitting under a school bus. April pulled the young student out shortly before the bus began moving. "She saved a little girl's life," Mr. Sayers said. Because of her actions she got to throw out the first pitch at a recent Baltimore Orioles game. We applaud April for her actions.
SCHOOL 7 FUNDRAISER - Good job to the students at School 7 in Dunkirk. The students worked hard at this year's annual Math-A-Thon and raised nearly $5,000 for St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital. The children worked on math problems, asked relatives to sponsor them, brought in loose change, paid admission to Zumba, took a chance on shooting a basketball through a hoop and wore silly hats to help other children with their battle against childhood cancer. Their efforts were worth it because they raised more money than any other year. Good job!
ROAD RAGE - Earlier this week a pick-up truck from Virginia was traveling along I-90 in the town of Evans when a passenger reportedly pulled out a handgun and shot at a vehicle from Ontario. The driver from Ontario told police he threw a soda pop can out the window at the pick-up truck after he was cut off. Let's be honest here; traffic on I-90 in Evans is limited. There's no reason to be cutting people off, but even if it happens, don't try to "get even." You never know what crazy person is behind the wheel. If you're that worried about it, slow down, let them go ahead of you and after they're out of sight, call the police. Don't seek to get revenge. It's not worth it.

Portland coach and general manager Mike Johnston talked after Monday's practice about the weekend in Kelowna — losing Game 1, trailing after the first period of Game 2 — and the Winterhawks' response, which was a goal in the first 24 seconds of the second period, then four unanswered goals to close out the 5-3 win.
It was an example of what Johnston calls "character wins."
He also talked about momentum, pointing to the Portland Trail Blazers' overtime win in Houston on Sunday night as an example of handling the swings in momentum and being able to handle those moments.
Johnston also talked about goaltenders Brendan Burke and Corbin Boes, after he lifted Burke for Boes in Game 2.

FLEMINGTON — Police are looking for four men in two cars who robbed Roman Jewelers at gunpoint shortly after noon today, May 5.
Prosecutor Anthony P. Kearns III and his Chief of Detectives John Kuczynski offered this "initial report" based on the very preliminary findings of the investigation.
UPDATE: Five men sought in Flemington jewelry store armed robbery
They said that it appears that four African-American men, who used hoodies and bandanas to obscure their faces, had entered the store, each armed with a handgun. They stole jewelry and watches and bound the hands of the roughly 11 people in the store — a mix of customers and store personnel. The call to 911 came in at 12:21 p.m.
The guns "were utilized in a threatening manner, but they were not fired, and no one suffered any significant injury, Kearns said.
It appears that the men fled west on Route 12 in two cars, described as a white Chrysler 300 sedan and a black Audi, possibly an A-5. Flemington police and a county detective responded to the alarm quickly, Kearns said, but the robbers had departed.
Kuczynski said that police in Hunterdon and surrounding counties were asked to be on the lookout for the robbers.
Witnesses were taken to the county prosecutor's offices for additional interviews, which are continuing now.
Kearns said, "I'd like to commend the rapid response of the Flemington Police Department and our office," and expressed the hope that the witnesses can quickly move beyond this traumatic event. He noted that his office has a team that helps witnesses to such events cope with both the emotional and the practical sides of the process.

India's first superstar died almost a lonely life.

Let's talk business
Top diplomats from India and Pakistan are spending yet another summer going over the familiar territory of bilateral ties, hoping for some light at the end of the tunnel. But how can either side hope to achieve a new outcome, when the steps taken remain the same? Earlier this used to be called "composite dialogue", now we call it "resumed" dialogue. But it's still the same old talk shop.
Jalil Jilani, Pakistan's foreign secretary, lands in India with warm words. What's the first thing he does? He sits down for tea with the Hurriyat separatists from Kashmir - Geelani, Mirwaiz and other members of the tired lot. In 2003, the same Jilani did Pakistan proud when, as deputy high commissioner in Delhi, he declared his support for the same separatists by allegedly funnelling funds to them.
But the separatist narrative has changed in the interim years. The Hurriyat has been discredited time and again, certainly diminished by the disclosures that their lifestyles are "maintained" by non-Indian interests to put it delicately.
Meanwhile, Kashmir is having one of its best tourist seasons ever. The average Kashmiri has many complaints against the Indian state, just like people from other states of India. They are not running to the Hurriyat to help them solve those problems.
There remains a sense of alienation in Kashmir and the Indian government, as with much else, does a lousy job of addressing it. That has not changed much - we have an independent interlocutors' report to prove it - and neither has Pakistan's dependence on these tired men. Pakistani leaders keep them flush and feeling vaguely important. If these signals are the same as they have been for years, what are the Jammu & Kashmir talks about?
There is an agreement, the t's crossed and the i's dotted, on Kashmir hammered out through what is popularly known as the "back channel". Without shifting sovereignty, Satinder Lambah and Tariq Aziz have worked out an understanding that could be a solution. Could this be moved out of the back channel and debated among the officials? It is said that Pakistan army chief General Ashraf Kayani has refused to bless this agreement. So this cannot be discussed. We've all said everything there is to say on LoC border crossings, trade points and so on.
Pakistan will not do the Sir Creek agreement, which too is "done". It might help India. If India really wants it, let there be a Siachen agreement instead - this is the thinking in Rawalpindi. But India will not do a Siachen agreement the way Pakistan wants it to. In another few years, some enterprising Gujarati will find shale oil in the marshes and that will be the end of discussions. Siachen should actually be made part of an overall Kashmir agreement, but since nobody thought of that earlier, nobody bothered to rejig the dialogue. India has lowered the cost of Siachen, Pakistan doesn't have Siachen. The conversation remains what it always was - a dialogue of the deaf.
Even the discussions on terrorism remain the same. India asks Pakistan to prosecute Hafiz Saeed and a rogues gallery of really bad eggs. Pakistan hangs on to them for dear life, believing they will one day again come in handy against India. P Chidambaram has a slanging match with Rehman Malik on whether Pakistan trained Abu Jundal or not.
Chidambaram wants Malik to "admit" that Pakistan supports terror. What legal, political or counter-terror step would that be? It should be noted that after Clinton's "sorry", Pakistan's decision to open the Nato supply lines to Afghanistan was met by silence from Hafiz Saeed and his ilk. If this isn't an example of the state using terrorists, what is? Chidambaram really should not be asking for another "admission. "
So far, the only constructive conversation is about economics and trade - about India selling power and Pakistan allowing wheat to go to Afghanistan through the Karachi port. About opening up of bilateral trade, buying of cement from Pakistan and tomatoes from India. Having Pakistan companies working here or working with Indian companies in Afghanistan. These are valuable conversations. They affect - for the better - lives of ordinary Pakistanis and Indians. That's a darn sight better than whether the boundary line should run through mid-channel or on the eastern bank of a marshy creek.
Let's rework the India-Pak dialogue and let's only talk business and visas. The rest can be "managed" until the world feels more comfortable for Pakistan.

Is it just me or is "Dancing with the Stars" starting to lose its steam? Don't get me wrong, I still love the show, and it's been a fun -- although injury-ridden -- season. But it's just not grabbing my attention as it did earlier in the season.
This morning on the "Barnaby & Friends" radio show on WLHT-FM (95.7), we featured our expert Sharon, whose popular Tink's Corner blog appears on the dance lesson Web site Ballroom Dance Channel. And she even agreed it has been a season where producers are throwing a little bit of everything at us.
"They've almost tried too much new stuff this season," she said. "Like the group dance last week ... wouldn't it have been a better if they would have both had the same kind of dance for us to compare?"
Listen to the complete interview with Sharon here:
Also on our radio show, co-host Suzanne Schulz and WLHT sales rep Raquel Huber said dancer Edyta Sliwinska is turning teen star Cody Linley into a "a man." I don't agree with that. Although I like Edyta, the pairing doesn't work for me. I miss the sweetness of Cody and Julianne, who has been out with an injury. She returns next week.
As for who will get the boot tonight? Our expert Sharon said she expects Maurice Green to get the heave-ho, mainly because of his lack of popularity compared to the others. And I agree with that.
Guest Blogger Lorilee Craker thinks it will be either Cody or Lance Bass who goes home. And our online pollsters think Maurice is also in the mix.
What do you think?

FLINT, MI -- City Councilman Eric Mays says he will lead a protest to demand his colleagues vote to lower water rates in Flint -- even though they don't have the authority to set prices.
Mays said in a post on his Facebook page today, July 30, he needs at least 500 residents to join him in the protest, which will start at noon Friday, Aug. 1.
"Bills are too high and residents (voters) want them lowered," the statement says. "Flint residents need to show up about 500 strong ... at least ... City Council needs to be told by a large number of Flint residents to (vote) to lower water rates ..."
Mays said he wants the council to go on record in support of lowering water and sewer rates in the city, which are higher than any other municipality in Genesee County.
"Seven of them voted for a budget that included higher water rates," Mays said of the council. "I said I would not be a part of that mess."
Mays abstained from voting on the council's budget recommendation and has complained that members didn't spend enough time reviewing various elements of the spending plan.
The demonstration is planned for the front lawn of City Hall, 1101 S. Saginaw St., and Mays said it could last several hours.
Emergency manager Darnell Earley set water rates in his budget for the current fiscal year.
Although Earley considered recommendations from the City Council in preparing the budget, the council has no authority to set water and sewer rates, which increased 6.5 percent in the fiscal year that started July 1.
That's because the city remains under the control of a state-appointed emergency manager.
Flint residents pay $35 more per month in water and sewer rates than the next-highest municipality in Genesee County, and $90 more than the lowest, according to an MLive-Flint Journal analysis earlier this year.

And while the Flying Dutchmen are a legit threat to win a fourth straight CC crown and a decorated Messiah program can never be discounted, a third club - Elizabethtown - has thrown its hat into the ring during this 2013-14 women's basketball season.
All three clubs are vying for the CC regular-season title during this final week before the postseason.
Caitlin Bach and Taylor Umbrell each posted double-double to lead LVC to a 65-51 win over Messiah on Saturday. The win vaulted the Flying Dutchmen back into a first-place tie in the Commonwealth Conference.
Elizabethtown, meanwhile, rocked Hood 74-55 thanks to the efforts of a pair of Lancaster-Lebanon League products in Solanco grad Taylor Kreider and Hempfield grad Kendra Beittel. The Blue Jays have not won a regular-season conference title since 2001.
The Flying Dutchmen, the Falcons and the Jays - along with with Stevenson - have clinched berths in the upcoming CC playoffs. Widener and Albright are battling for the fifth and final spot.
Here are the head-to-head records between the three conference leaders:
Lebanon Valley - 2-0 vs. Messiah; 1-1 vs. Elizabethtown
Elizabethtown - 1-1 vs. Lebanon Valley; 1-1 vs. Messiah
Messiah - 1-1 vs. Elizabethtown; 0-2 vs. Lebanon Valley

AMES - The sixth-ranked Fort Dodge baseball team dropped a doubleheader to Ames on Monday night.
The Dodgers (21-12 overall, 6-4 CIC) lost the opener and dropped a 15-8 decision in the nightcap.
In the first contest, both teams had seven hits each, but the Dodgers couldn't find the timely hitting.
"We have to have good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting,'' said Fort Dodge head coach Blake Utley. "We didn't have that hitting in the first game."
Austin Halligan was 3-for-3 with two doubles in the contest.
In the second game, Ames exploded for all 15 of their runs in the second and third innings.

JC Hatcher and Devon Harms were both 2-for-3. Parker Van Zyl was 2-for-4 and Nate Sunken had two hits.
"This game was much different, we were hitting and we played good defense, we just didn't have the pitching,'' Utley said. "We have to find a way to get all three things together. We're not a team that can rely on one or two of those attributes."
The Dodgers are back in action at home on Thursday when they host Valley.

IRON MOUNTAIN - Kingsford, playing for a fourth time in five days, suffered a 7-5 Great Lakes Hockey Conference setback to Escanaba, which played for the fourth time in six days Tuesday evening at Mountain View Ice Arena in what was a tightly fought contest.
"We had our chances," Flivvers coach Jim Peterson said. "I thought we played a real good game."
A blast by Escanaba's Steve Wood that deflected off a Flivver shin or foot broke a 4-4 tie in the final minute of the second period, and Escanaba (18-3) never trailed again.
Jake Eastin and Ben Lesecki added goals about a minute and a half apart in the middle of the third to officially put away the Flivvers. Eastin's tally came on a 2-on-1 break while Lesecki's was another odd deflection off a Flivver defender.
"We started settling down," Escanaba coach Tim McCarthy said. "We got too sloppy in the first two periods.
"Kingsford has a nice team. They moved the puck well. When they got a couple on us we got down on ourselves. We finally buckled down in that third period."

Esky led 2-0 just seven minutes into the contest thanks to goals by Derek Chaillier and TJ Myrick. Chaillier put one top shelf from the slot on the game's first power play. Myrick, camped out alone in front Flivver goalie Wes Paupore, poked his through at 4:15.
But Kingsford roared back with two of their own in the span of a minute.
Marcus Andrews deflected one that fluttered over the right shoulder of Esky netminder Nick LeMire a few seconds after a faceoff in the Esky zone. Alex Wiitanen then followed up his own shot with a backhanded swat to knock the puck in from mid air for Kingsford's second marker.
Ted Pietila put Kingsford up 3-2 near the end of a 5-on-3 advantage with a nifty flip from in close over LeMire to the far corner of the net at 13:17.
The Flivvers' lead last just a few minutes though, as Escanaba added two more before the first frame ended.
Levi Wunder cashed in a power play chance by smashing in a rebound that stuck near the corner of the net. He then set up Nick Vandermissen with just 42 seconds left in the frame.
Kingsford drew even again at 7:09 of the second when Nick Brule sped in a short-handed and beat LeMire up high.
The game stayed tied until Wood's go-ahead tally with 27 seconds left in the period.
Kingsford had two power play chances early in the third but couldn't convert, Esky's penalty killers doing just enough to disrupt the puck.
"We've done quite well (on the penalty kill) all year," McCarthy said. "It wasn't our best game, and we have some things to work on, but our kids battled."
Following the kills, Esky's speed became too much for the fatigued Flivvers, leading to the chances that turned into two insurance markers.
Ted Pietila tapped in Kingsford's final goal, off a rebound of shot by Reid Pietila with two minutes left in the game.
Despite 12 goals in the game, both goalies put on impressive displays throughout. LeMire stopped 32 shots, while Paupore saved 42, making some terrific denials on several second and even third chance attempts.
"Wes did a nice job in net for them," McCarthy said.
"Their goalie played great," Peterson said. "Wes played a great game too. I was pleased with the way we played and we look forward to seeing them again."
Kingsford (9-10, 3-3 GLC) plays at Jeffers Friday.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – The calendar may say it's October, but it's Christmas week for Birmingham's hospitality industry.
Over a 10-day stretch that is bookended by two of the biggest tourism draws of the year visitors will have pumped a total of more than $34.7 million into the metro Birmingham economy, according to an analysis by the Greater Birmingham Convention and Visitors Bureau.
Data collected from the industry shows that last week's Sprint Cup race at Talladega Superspeedway had an estimated economic impact of $19.6 million on the Birmingham metro area. That includes money spent on hotels, gas, food and entertainment.
And forecasts predict that this weekend's Magic City Classic will have an impact of $15 million, said Jim Smither, president of the convention and visitors bureau.
The impact of races at Talladega has fallen in recent years as attendance has declined nationwide. In 2012 attendance at 36 Sprint Cup races totaled 3.5 million, for an average of 97,722 spectators per race. At its peak in 2005, attendance totaled 4.7 million, or 129,733 per race.
The recession hit the race business hard as fans had less disposable income, and other entertainment options have been gaining ground, Smither said. And, he said, metro Birmingham's share of the impact is a fraction of the whole. Race fans, who come from all 50 states and about 25 countries, routinely stay in hotels in Atlanta and in western Georgia and eastern Alabama.
"Atlanta gets a lot more than we do," Smither said.
The Magic City Classic ostensibly is a football game between historically black colleges Alabama A&M and Alabama State. But it's long been much more than that. The game itself typically draws around 65,000 fans, but thousands more come for a week of parties, days of tailgating and for the Saturday parade, for which actor and musician Ice Cube will serve as grand marshal. Morris Day and the Time will play a concert after the Saturday game.
"They come for a whole week," Smither said of Classic fans. "For a lot of people, it's their vacation."
Just as hoteliers and merchants will benefit from the crowds, so will the state. The two events will contribute an estimated total of $1.7 million in state tax revenue.

NORTH OLMSTED, Ohio – The city's residential recycling rate dropped by about 1 percent between 2012 and 2013, according to a new report from the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District.
However, North Olmsted remains one of only 16 communities in the county with recycling rates greater than 50 percent. Forty-three communities recycled less than 50 percent of their waste.
North Olmsted residents in 2013 recycled 50.71 percent of their trash by weight, a decrease from 51.94 percent in 2012.
North Olmsted's residents sent about 9,811 tons to the landfill last year, the county report said. City residents diverted 2,730 tons of recyclables through curbside or drop-off programs, including cardboard, plastic, cans, glass, scrap metal, appliances, computers, household hazardous waste and scrap tires.
Yard waste, including leaves, brush and grass, totaled 7,362 tons. The yard waste also was diverted from landfills.
The countywide residential recycling rate in 2013 was almost 35 percent, according to the report. That was up from about 33 percent in 2012.
Increasing recycling helps extend the life of existing landfills, delaying the need to expand or build new landfills.
Details about how North Olmsted stacked up against other Cuyahoga County communities is available here.

Updates a story posted Wednesday at 12:57 p.m.
NORTHAMPTON — Testifying today in the trial of a University of Massachusetts student accused of raping her, a 20-year old University of Massachusetts student recalled telling the defendant she had a boyfriend back in China.
"Boyfriends back in China are not regarded as boyfriends" the woman said Weiland Wang, 19, of Hadley, told her during their first meeting at freshman orientation last year.
Wang has pleaded not guilty to one count of rape and three counts of indecent sexual assault dating back to a Feb. 19, 2013 sexual encounter with the woman in his dorm room.
Both the defendant and his accuser are Chinese nationals and were freshmen at UMass last year.
Testifying as the first prosecution witness, the woman described Wang as a study partner and friend, one of a half-dozen Chinese students she hung out with during her first semester in Amherst.
He repeatedly quizzed her about her boyfriend back in China, and volunteered his services as her on-campus boyfriend, the woman testified with the help of a Chinese translator.
She replied that cheating on her boyfriend would be wrong, and "besides, I'm not so interested in him," the woman said.
In opening arguments Wednesday in Hampshire Superior Court, a prosecutor told jurors that Wang was determined to have sex with the victim from their first meeting at freshman orientation, a prosecutor said today.
"He wanted her, he pursued her, he chased her," said Assistant Hampshire District Attorney Carrie Russell.
"He knew what he wanted ... and he took it against (the victim's) will and by force," Russell added.
But defense lawyer John Connor urged the 12-woman, 4-man jury to reserve judgment until the full story of his client's relationship with a 20-year old student is presented in court.
Connor said the sexual encounter in Wang's dorm room was "mutual and consensual," despite statements to the contrary made by his client to police later that night.
Wang tailored his description of the sexual encounter to avoid embarrassing the victim, who had a boyfriend back in China, Connor said.
When police asked Wang if he was trying to protect the victim, he responded, "I guess I am," Connor told jurors.
The trial continued this afternoon.
MassLive will have an update on Wednesday afternoon's testimony later today

8:50: Johnson coach Jack Doss:
"The kids had a good two weeks off for Christmas. We got some practice in and the (Huntsville Times Classic). We started gelling. And you have to do that. The kids have to go through it and see who can handle it and who can't. We've had some changes, and our kids have accepted that and played well.
"We came back and played really well against Pope John Paul II, then played great against Lee. And our kids knew then we could play with anybody. Now the adrenaline rush isn't as big and we can settle down and run some stuff."

NEW ULM - A loud whooshing sound rumbled through downtown on Monday, followed by billowing clouds of steam dissipating into the sky.
The noise and the steam came from the Public Utility building at 310 1st North St., and the procedure was the last step in a three-year plan to install a new back-pressure steam turbine.
In preparation for the new turbine system NUPU conducted steam flushing to clear the lines. Utilities Director Patrick Wrase explained that flushing the lines was necessary to remove any contaminants in them. Due to the extreme pressure produced in steam lines, any debris left inside could potentially damage the new equipment. Wrase said that even small particles could reduce the turbine to "Swiss cheese."

Staff photos by Clay Schuldt
(Above) An employee of New Ulm Public Utilities watches steam billow from the building Monday afternoon. The steam was produced during a procedure to flush the steam lines before a new back-pressure team turbine goes online.
A New Ulm Public Utilities worker stands near the new back-pressure steam turbine that will go into operation later this month. The new turbine will increase efficiency at the power plant.
NUPU conducted eight steam blasts on Monday. Each blast lasted just under 15 minutes. As a precaution a section of 1st North Street directly in front of the Public Utilities building was closed during the procedures.
The noise caused by the blasts hit as high as 130 decibels and shot debris across the roadway, according to Chief Engineer Gary Domeier
After the steam lines have been cleared. the turbine will be hooked into the City's steam system. The new turbine will allow NUPU to utilize more of the steam generated and increase electrical efficiency and significantly cut New Ulm's energy bill. The turbine is expected to be operation by the end of the month.
Last year, the New Ulm Public Utilities Commission awarded a $946,880 bid from Brennan Construction for the back pressure steam turbine project for the power plant.

We have a large number of people relocating to positions in Saudi Arabia, and since the majority are women, I present a list of the questions frequently asked by women:
Do I have to wear a burqa?
Women in Saudi Arabia do not wear a burqa, they wear an abaya, which is a black, lightweight cloak that drapes over one's clothing. Western women, or any woman not wearing typical Muslim hijab, must also carry a scarf that can be used to cover the hair (if required) when in public areas (e.g., malls, souqs). Abayas are typically sold with a matching scarf, so you don't have to buy them separately. Also see our video about abaya shopping in Riyadh
Must the abaya be a certain colour or length?
Yes, abayas must be black, but they can have embroidery, sequins, applique, etc. The abaya should hang to the ankles.
Can I wear sandals in Saudi Arabia?
Yes: In fact you will see sandals (mostly high-heeled) and flip-flops that are every bit as simple or elaborate as any you will see over here or in any fashion magazine. (However, because the asphalt can become so hot in the summer, you may want to keep the cheap flip-flops for wear in cooler months or for around the house, lest they begin to melt ... or at least deteriorate quickly!)
Do hair stylists know how to style the hair of African Americans?
Not all of them can, but your African American and African colleagues can point you towards those who can!
What is the shopping like?
The shopping malls house all the international boutiques (with their Prada, Gucci, Yves St. Laurent, Boss, etc., designs), as well as larger stores which sell less costly clothes (e.g., GAP, H&M, American Eagle, Zara), and US and European chain department stores (e.g., Saks Fifth Avenue, Debenhams, Harvey Nichols, Marks & Spencer). But if you like to shop, in my view, the most interesting purchases are in the souqs, with their traditional hats, scarves, camel blankets, rugs, brass works, etc.
Can I try on clothes in shops?
This is a surprisingly tricky question. In the women's-only malls, such as the "Ladies' Kingdom" at the Kingdom Centre Mall in Riyadh, women can try on clothes. In other malls, since most sales clerks are males, if one wants to try on a garment, one must first purchase the garment, then take it to the restrooms, which have toilet sections and change room sections, and try on the garment. If it doesn't fit, return it — if it does, you're lucky!
Can I buy underwear?
Although you can buy all styles of women's underwear, if you have a favourite brand/style, I would stock up before relocating. Most people feel that cotton is the most comfortable fabric for the hot climate.
Only recently has Saudi Arabia been allowing female sales clerks in lingerie shops (women had, of course, been the clerks in women's-only malls). The lingerie shops are now designated "families only" or "women only" — no unaccompanied men allowed. Before the advent of female sales clerks, lingerie shopping could be a challenge, because few women were comfortable discussing things such as their cup size with men ...
Can I wear a two-piece bathing suit?
Yes, if you are swimming in the women's-only pool of your compound. But if you are swimming in one of the coastal waters in which men and women of all nationalities swim, a conservative one-piece is best.
Can I wear makeup?
Yes. The Arab women (Saudi women included) are very skilled in the art of applying makeup. Even if you see only the eyes, they are dramatically shadowed and otherwise elaborately enhanced, and their eyebrows waxed into precise shapes.
Can I buy tampons?
Yes, they can be found in most pharmacies or grocery store personal care product aisles. But the selection is not as good as at home.
Can I wear jewelry?
Very definitely. In fact, one of your main recreational pursuits will be shopping for gold in the souqs.
Can I bring workout DVDs?
Yes, but be careful of the covers. If the cover images are of scantily-clad (from a conservative society's perspective) women/men working out, take the discs out of the cases, and put them in a plain sleeve, accordion-style case, etc.
Can I get spa treatments?
Absolutely! You can get enormously varied range of treatments, including massages, facials, manicures, and pedicures. (And it's typically cheaper than back home.)
What kinds of clothes should I pack?
The two things to keep in mind are 1) Saudi Arabia is a more conservative society, and 2) for most of the year it's very, very hot.
So besides buying an abaya and scarf (as noted above), you really don't need to change your wardrobe much (unless it happens to be stocked with flannels and fleece).
Surprised? Don't be. You will attend parties and embassy concerts and events, which require the same sort of clothing you'd wear to such events back home, e.g., a cocktail dress. You will hang around by your pool and you will work out, so you will need a bathing suit and gym gear. And because in public (e.g., malls, souqs, restaurants) you will be wearing your abaya, you can wear whatever you want underneath it.
But to deal with the heat (and in Jeddah, the humidity), you may want to add a few lighter garments to your regular clothing collection — perhaps some "wicking" or fast-drying tops or pants, or perhaps a long skirt to let the air circulate around your legs. And you may want to throw in a few longer sweaters or jackets both to help you deal with the omnipresent air conditioning and for conservative cover-up of your hip region. But you don't need to buy a new wardrobe ... unless, of course, you want to.

And life will happen real fast like a pinprick
And sometimes you're not even warned
Yeah, life will happen so quick in a heartbeat
You dangle from threads badly torn
Sometimes we run
Sometimes we crawl
Sometimes there's just
No hope at all
So this is the cost
This is the cost
For all that is lost
All that is lost
And night will fall sometimes swifter than raindrops
And hold you too close to its chest
Your hands so strong have turned awfully skinny
No break if you're put to the test
Mamma's gonna make you believe
There are better days over that hill
Mamma's gonna make you believe
That good things are happening still
Mamma's gonna give you the world
Though the world is maybe last on your list
Mamma's gonna cradle your heart
Your heart is right in her fist

Juventus coach Antonio Conte has failed in his bid to have a 10-month suspension from football overturned.
The 43-year-old was handed the lengthy ban by the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for allegedly failing to report two incidents of match-fixing during his time in charge of Siena.
But despite appealing the verdict in person at the Federal Court of Justice on Monday, the 43-year-old has been denied the chance to return to coaching Juve for Saturday's opening Serie A game against Parma.
An FIGC statement read: "The Federal Court of Justice can confirm the 10-month disqualification for Antonio Conte."
Conte's implication in the Calcioscommesse scandal involved two Serie B matches that took place in the 2010-11 season.
The statement continued: "It was decided to acquit Conte for his role in the Novara-Siena game, but the 10-month disqualification stands as a disciplinary commission sanction concerning Albinoleffe-Siena."
Juventus President Andrea Agnelli said the ruling confirmed the club's "worst suspicions" about Italy's football justice system claiming it "seems more and more like a witch-hunt".
The FIGC's prosecutor also lost an appeal against the decision to acquit Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci and winger Simone Pepe over an alleged attempt to fix a match between Bari and Udinese in 2010.
The FIGC's prosecutor had wanted a three-and-a-half year ban for Italy's Bonucci, who was playing for Bari at the time, and one-year ban for Pepe, who was with Udinese.
The Serie A season starts this weekend. Juve have said they will stick by Conte with a second appeal set to be launched and heard in September.
Conte's assistant Massimo Carrera has taken charge of Juve's pre-season friendlies and is poised to stay as temporary boss.

First let me say I had cellulitis with Lymphodema and my legs and feet had that reptile look. Eucerin had been clearing it since I came out of rehab for it but now my skin was breaking down more. My Dr comes to visit me at my home being disabled with his wife and she recommended the Borage oil to put on it twice a day. She has thyroid and uses it for her dry skin from her thyroid problem. This 2oz bottle goes very far and I use it with cotton swabs. It is a miracle in a bottle seriously.
A must. And excellent price!

6,000 Navy civilian workers face 11-day furloughs
HONOLULU – The 6,000 civil service employees at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and the Pacific Missile Range Facility on Kauai face furloughs of 11 days because of federal budget cuts, according to the commander of Navy Region Hawaii.
Rear Adm. Frank Ponds told Hawaii News Now that the employees will be off work about one day per week between July and September to meet budget goals dictated by automatic federal budget cuts that went into effect when Congress did not approve alternatives.
The furloughs originally were projected to cover 22 days per employee.
"That's a tremendous achievement because it cuts in half what we would have done to our workforce that we value so much," Ponds said.
The federal budget cuts will cause short-term turbulence but will not alter Navy commitment to Pacific security, he said.
Navy Region Hawaii has 11 ships and 18 submarines. Money will be saved by reducing training days at sea.
"We have not gone underway during the weekend, and come back in and out of port, because it incurs additional costs," he said.
Maintenance also will be affected.
"We are deferring maintenance where we can, delaying maintenance where we can," he said.
Cuts were made where manpower losses could be absorbed, he said. Emergency personnel and 4,300 civil service employees at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard were not affected.
In July, Ponds will leave Hawaii after 20 months for a new assignment in San Diego.

Look at the contributor lists for any Alabama nonprofit arts organization, and you will likely see the Alabama State Council on the Arts at or near the top.
A state agency, ASCA was established in 1966 to work with organizations, individuals, educational institutions and communities to foster Alabama's arts and cultural heritage. It maintains the Alabama Center for Traditional Culture, literary organizations, programs in arts in education, visual arts achievement awards and other programs.
To most arts consumers, ASCA is best known for the grants they award in three rounds each year. Ranging from less than $1,000 to more than $200,000, the grants are vital to the existence of many organizations. Projects that might otherwise be out of reach, they make possible -- museum and concert hall renovations, world-renowned dancers and musicians, community theater presentations and many more.
Starting with $25,000 from the National Endowment for the Arts, its budget had increased to more than $5 million in state and federal money by 1998. But with the state budget reduced for 2010-11, the council is facing some belt tightening.
"We're down to $4.8 million in terms of state funding," said ASCA's Executive Director Al Head. "There were some across-the-board cuts that all state agencies had to absorb, so we realized about a 9.5 percent cut. Thank goodness, our federal money from the National Endowment for the Arts actually went up this year, which helped us absorb some of the cutbacks. We awarded grants in all of our categories and were able to keep the negative impact to a minimum."
The September round of ASCA grants was highest, at $1,982,920. It included operating support grants, the largest of these going to the state's largest arts organizations. At the top was the Alabama Shakespeare Festival ($220,200), followed by the Birmingham Museum of Art ($205,170) and the Alabama Symphony Orchestra ($172, 970).
In June, fellowships and grants were awarded to individual artists ($5,000 each) and for building renovations ($10,000 to $80,000), totaling $290,500. December awards included programs in a variety of areas, such as arts education, literature, performing arts and folklife apprenticeships. They ranged from $995 to $10,000 and totaled $437,270.
The agency was also able to make $300,000 in grants with funds from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (stimulus money).
"We were able to help save positions for about 15 organizations, to keep them from laying off some employees," said Head. "The needs far exceeded our resources, but it was helpful in several areas and several organizations."
With a new governor and legislature coming to Montgomery comes a feeling of uncertainty.
"We're going through a transition," said Head. "Our biggest area of concern is that the challenges of the budget are going to be enormous for the governor and the legislature. We're waiting on tax revenues to come in to see how far behind we're going to be. But we're hopeful. We have a lot of friends of the arts on the council, and arts organizations that have been around for a long time. We have a level of appreciation and support that's very much still there."
That optimism is reflected in the arts organizations' resiliency during tough times.
"Some organizations have had to hunker down a bit," he said. "And there's been some suffering because of reductions in city and county money over the last several years. But there are groups that have been involved with some outstanding programming -- the Birmingham Children's Theatre, Red Mountain Theatre Company, Birmingham Museum of Art. The Alabama Symphony has done really well through a difficult time."
ASCA is also getting involved with the "Year of Alabama Music" in 2011.
"We have partnered with the Department of Tourism," Head said. "They have done a great job with 'year of' themes, and the year of Alabama music should be terrific. Alabama is very rich in folk, traditional, roots music, as well as symphony and opera."

Studio Momentum is an innovative architecture firm focused on incorporating sustainable design, cutting edge technologies and collaborative processes to achieve our goal: Great Architecture!
Through the use of the latest technology for architectural modeling, we can bring the client into the "virtual space" of their project. Building Information Modeling or "BIM" is the future of architectural design. The creation of a digital model can reveal and resolve problems prior to construction. Highly accurate photo real renderings allow the client to visualize the final product in exacting detail. This allows them to give appropriate feedback and become a larger part of the design process.
Architecture is not born in a vacuum. Studio Momentum believes in a collaborative process requiring communication between the client, builder, designer and community to produce meaningful work. We approach each project with open minds, technical skill and experience, and believe that together a true work of art can be realized.
Great Architecture is the goal. Collaboration, sustainability and modern technology are the way.
