Human HSPA1A Protein expressed in Baculovirus infected Insect Cells - ABIN2004489
Heck, Schöler, de Bittencourt: HSP70 expression: does it a novel fatigue signalling factor from immune system to the brain? in Cell biochemistry and function 2011
hsp72 was more potent than hsc73 (show HSPA8 Proteins) in generating protective immune responses against the class Ia-negative 15/0 tumors.
Data show that BAG2 (show BAG2 Proteins) Inhibits CHIP-Mediated HSP72 ubiquitination in aged cells.
The cardioprotective effect of 40-60 g/d of alcohol consumption could be due in part, to increased intracellular HSPA1A, a potent anti-inflammatory protein. Excessive intake of alcohol increases antibodies anti-Hsp60 (show HSPD1 Proteins), stimulating proinflammatory cytokines. This fact may explain the mortality from cardiovascular disease in heavy drinkers.
There is a direct correlation between plasma HSPA1A and PAI-1 (show SERPINE1 Proteins) levels in patients with diabetes, which is lost when they develop albuminuria.
The present study revealed that salivary extracellular HSP70 (show HSP70 Proteins) significantly increased at 4 h after the 59 min of intense exercise in sedentary male subjects and correlated with resting salivary secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA) levels at rest.
HSP70-2 (show HSPA1B Proteins) (+1267A/G) gene polymorphism was associated with Henoch-Schonlein purpura in children
HSP72 blocks fibroblast activation and proliferation in renal fibrosis via targeting the STAT3 (show STAT3 Proteins) pathway and may serve as a novel therapeutic agent for chronic kidney disease regardless of the etiology
Studies suggest that heat shock protein 72/70 (Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins) proteins) are beneficial to the patient in slowing the onset of neurodegenerative disorders.
P53 (show TP53 Proteins) could be used to distinguish early HCC (show FAM126A Proteins) from advanced hepatocellular carcinoma, but HSP70 (show HSP70 Proteins) cannot
cytokines, not being influenced by HSP72 polymorphisms, cortisol, or illness severity. Gln may depress l/mHSP72 after LPS (show IRF6 Proteins) exposure and enhance them after HS induction, but it may not affect early induced HSP72 mRNA.
heat acclimation reduces physiological strain, and the transcription of HSP72, but not HSP90alpha (show HSP90AA2 Proteins) mRNA in acute normobaric hypoxia.
In Sahiwal cattle the mRNA expression of HSP70 (show HSP70 Proteins) and its protein concentration were higher (P<0.05) during peak summer (44 degrees C) and winter (10 degrees C) as compared to Frieswal cattle. This investigation supports the earlier information on the higher adaptability of indigenous cattle breeds to hot and humid conditions compared to the crossbreds of temperate cattle breeds.
Inhibition of Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins) by using the Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins) inhibitor KNK437 or knock down Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins) using siRNA exaggerated and overexpression of Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins) prevented the second phase disruption of lung endothelial integrity.
Prostaglandin E synthase (show PTGES Proteins) interacts with inducible heat shock protein 70 after heat stress in bovine primary dermal fibroblast cells.
Hsp70-1A is a biomarker of low beef tenderness across the cattle breeds. [HSP70-1a]
More DNMT1 (show DNMT1 Proteins) mRNA was detected in the transgenic somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) group than the other three groups. Hsp 70.1 mRNA was detected in the in vitro fertilzation embryos. Mash2 (show ASCL2 Proteins) mRNA was present at highest levels in transgenic SCNT embryos.
the promoter region of bovine hsp70.1 gene is polymorphic and may be useful in selection of dairy cows for relatively better thermotolerance and higher milk production.
Heat shock increased both HSP70 and IFNT expression in blastocysts.
This study showed that Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins) concentration is a reliable indicator of chronic stress but is not a reliable indicator of a single stressor when animals are exposed to multiple chronic stressors.
the presence of SNPs (C/- and G/T) in the 5'-UTR region of inducible Hsp70.1 ameliorates HS response and tolerance to heat of bovine peripheral blood mononuclear cells
that HSC70 (show HSPA8 Proteins) preconditioning (1) attenuates the TNF-alpha (show TNF Proteins) response to endotoxin in macrophages in vitro, (2) induces cardiac functional tolerance to endotoxin and (3) reduces NF-kappaB (show NFKB1 Proteins) activity, and TNF-alpha (show TNF Proteins) and ICAM-1 (show ICAM1 Proteins) levels in heart tissue.
Perturbation of the HSP70-HSP90 (show HSP90 Proteins) heat-shock protein axis stimulates degradation of endothelial VEGFR2 (show KDR Proteins).
HSP70, the earliest induced gene in the zebrafish retina after optic nerve injury, is a crucial factor for retinal ganglion cell survival and optic nerve regeneration.
HSP70 mRNA and protein were increased 2.2 fold at 0.5-24 hours after optic nerve injury then returned to control level.
hsp70 is required for embryonic lens development.
data suggest that HSF1 (show HSF1 Proteins) is involved in regulating constitutive lens specific expression of hsp70 in the embryonic zebrafish.
in rheumatoid arthritis Significantly higher Hsp70 (heat shock protein 70 (show HSP70 Proteins)) expression was found on synovial cells than on skin fibroblasts; high co-expression of CD91 (show LRP1 Proteins) and Hsp70 on RA synovial cells
These results demonstrate that induction of Hsp70 in response to heat stress is dependent on ERK (show MAPK1 Proteins) activation in Pac2 (show PSMG2 Proteins) cells.
Hsp70 levels above the median were associated with a higher rate of progression to the accelerated/blast phase and a tendency toward shorter survival
HSPA1A/B induction is a novel approach to delay thrombus formation with minimal bleeding risk in knockout mice.
HspA1A-phosphoinositide binding is complex yet specific, is mediated by both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions, is not related to the lipid-head charge, and depends on the physicochemical properties of the lipid.
The protective mechanism of HAS2 (show HAS2 Proteins) involves an increased expression of the heat-shock protein Hsp72, a chaperone with antiapoptotic activity
HspA1A embeds in membranes when bound to liposomes composed of cardiolipin and sulfatide.The two domains of HspA1A differentially bind to lipids, such as cardiolipin and sulfatide.
Knockdown lines were created for specific DSBs in regions of the chromosome that are coding for HSPA1A. Clonogenic cell survival was significantly lower in irradiated Hsp70 KD cells with low mHsp70 expression, than in ctrl cells.
genetic manipulation of Hsp72 does not lead to alterations in metabolic processes in cardiac tissue under resting conditions, but identifies mouse strain-specific differences in cardiac lipid accumulation and insulin (show INS Proteins)-stimulated glucose clearance.
Data indicate that heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70 (show HSP70 Proteins)) is higher in nuclear protein 1 (Nupr1 (show NUPR1 Proteins)+/-) haplodeficient mice, concomitant with improved insulin (show INS Proteins) sensitivity.
HuR (show ELAVL1 Proteins) does not play a role in APA (show ENPEP Proteins) of the Hsp70.3 mRNA, and these two regulatory events appear to be mutually exclusive regulators of Hsp70.3 expression
Activating HSP72 in rodent skeletal muscle increases mitochondrial number and oxidative capacity and decreases insulin (show INS Proteins) resistance.
Activation of HSP-72 upregulates lung injury associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia.
overexpression of the HSP70.2 (show HSPA2 Proteins) gene in multiple organs of transgenic mice improves survival during heatstroke by reducing hyperthermia, circulatory shock, and cerebral ischemia and damage
This intronless gene encodes a 70kDa heat shock protein which is a member of the heat shock protein 70 family. In conjuction with other heat shock proteins, this protein stabilizes existing proteins against aggregation and mediates the folding of newly translated proteins in the cytosol and in organelles. It is also involved in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway through interaction with the AU-rich element RNA-binding protein 1. The gene is located in the major histocompatibility complex class III region, in a cluster with two closely related genes which encode similar proteins.

|Re: nodetool cleanup - results in more disk use?
|Mon, 04 Apr 2011 11:57:14 GMT
cleanup reads each SSTable on disk and writes a new file that contains the same data with the exception of rows that are no longer in a token range the node is a replica for. It's not compacting the files into fewer files or purging tombstones. But it is re-writing all the data for the CF. Part of the process will trigger GC if needed to free up disk space from SSTables no longer needed. AFAIK having fewer bigger files will not cause longer minor compactions. Compaction thresholds are applied per bucket of files that share a similar size, there is normally more smaller files and fewer larger files.

GNOME 3.0 Hits Desktops Today
"In the face of constant change, both in software technology itself and in people's attitudes toward it, long-term software projects need to reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant. I'm encouraged to see the GNOME community taking up this challenge, responding to the evolving needs of users and questioning the status quo," says Matt Zimmerman, Canonical CTO.
According to GNOME, nine years and over 3500 people, including employees from 106 companies, have contributed to the project's code repositories and it is through these efforts GNOME prepares to unleash GNOME 3.0 as it announces today that GNOME 3.0 with the new and innovated GNOME shell UI redesign is now available for download.
Features for GNOME 3.0 include a sleek new look, built in messaging, distraction free computing, redesigned system settings and more.
Complete with a new GNOME 3.0 website and a newsletter devoted to the GNOME 3.0 release, the GNOME project is poised to bring this new desktop to millions of users around the world as it partners with Novell, Red Hat, other distributors, schools and governments, and user groups. In addition the GNOME community has over 100 launch parties planned to celebrate this, "A revolutionary new user interface and new features for developers make this a historic moment for the free and open source desktop."
More about the GNOME project and the GNOME 3.0 release can be found on the GNOME website.

Fraser Valley commuters should prepare for increased toll rates on the Golden Ears Bridge.
Translink says tolls will rise 1.5% as of July 15th to match the rate of inflation, bringing the average pay as you go fare from $4.25, to $4.30 per trip.
Pitt Meadows mayor Deb Walters says all Lower Mainland bridges should be tolled, but at a lower rate.
"I think the idea is we want to encourage people to use it, and by raising the tolls, it just forces people to look for alternate routes."
Walters says the ever increasing toll is bad news for commuters.
"I would think that they should be looking at other ways for sure, this is just this year, and then next year, it's a compounded charge that our riders are going to have to pay."
Walters says Fraser Valley residents unfairly bear the brunt of costs for tolled crossings.
"People move out here because its a little more affordable to live, however transportation to get into work is very expensive, whether its the West Coast Express, whether its tolls on a bridge, and you know we are all part of a region, and we all pay in to it, and I think that was one of the things that the mayors vision saw when we put together the entire plan, is that we have to make it fair for the entire region."
The bridge isn't a money maker, with a shortfall of 35 to 40 million dollars a year.

Woman Scammed In Mystery Shopper Job
Published November 18th, 2009
Loading Video...
A Silver Springs Woman thought she found a dream job. Secret shopping: being paid to spend someone else's money. Or so she thought before she fell victim to a scam.
Kimberly Hall of Silver Springs says she received an email from someone advertising positions as a mystery shopper. Once she applied on line and was accepted, she received a check in the mail from the company wanting her to shop.
Not all mystery shopping is a scam, but police say to avoid being scammed, you should take the check to your bank; not for them to cash or deposit into your account, but to investigate it to see if it's legit.

It's been a while since I did our fun feature where I highlighted other gluten-free bloggers that I think are doing a great job in the gluten-free community. I have many ideas for bloggers in mind but if you know of someone you would just love to see featured please e-mail me at email@example.com.
The gluten-free blogger I will be featuring today is a very sweet lady with lots of passion for blogging. Her recipes and photographs are just gorgeous! They definitely make you want to cook. I now introduce to you, Crysty of Garden of Gluten Free!
Please tell everyone a little about yourself.
I am a musician, a mother, a wife…
I love to laugh and find the amusing side of life.
I have traveled all over the world, and experienced
some truly wonderful things.
I was diagnosed with Celiac immediately following the loss of my second child en utero.
Please tell me about your gluten-free blog.
My blog is recipe based, but not your average GF cookie and cake blog.
I am tackling recipes like tempura shrimp sushi, Korean beef and pot stickers.
All the recipes I have including in my blog have been tested and
retested until they are perfect.
I only add recipes I love and am craving, and they are delicious! Try them!
How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging for a couple years, but only recently blogging gluten-free.
Why did you start a gluten-free blog?
I recently read somewhere that "deprivation breeds creativity."
When I was diagnosed with celiac, something changed in me. All of a
sudden I was driven to make delicious food. I wanted to feel normal, like
I didn't have any limitations.
I didn't want to settle for some mediocre, poor mans GF version of
food. I wanted my food to taste just as amazing as the next guys.
It basically became an obession to learn how make delicious food.
I started the blog because I wanted to share my journey with others
struggling with celiac. I wanted to take something terrible and turn it into
something beautiful.
What kinds of products do you feature on your blog?
Currently, I promote whatever cookbook I am enjoying,
or the odd kitchen gadget I have found useful.
What would you like to see with your gluten-free blog in the future?
I think the sky is the limit! I would love to expand and start to network
more with other GF bloggers. Certainly I want to continue to add more recipes.
What do you love about gluten-free blogging most?
I love how I feel at the end of the day after writing.
But what I love MOST about it is that I feel it brings hope.
Do you do giveaways? If so, what was your favorite giveaway?
I haven't yet, but would really like too!
Tell me some of your favorite gluten-free blogs that you read.
Gluten-free goddess
How can people find you?

Anmeldelser af denne bolig
Vi fik en meget ♡ Lich. Værelserne er meget nice og moderne. Det har meget god pleje af os, og vi var bestemt ikke sidste gang i de kongelige domstol studio lejligheder.
Wir wurden sehr ♡lich empfangen. Die Zimmer sind sehr schön und modern. Man hat sich sehr gut um uns gekümmert und wir waren sicher nicht das letzte mal in den royal court studio Apartments.
I had the best experience with this apartment during my stay (in April 2016) The staff welcomed me in a way that I felt at home immediately and during my time there all of them were extremly helpfull and really friendly at any time! The location of the apartments is in a perfect position: you reach most of the tourist-attractions in a short walk of 10-15 minutes, also a small supermarket is opposite the street that covers all your daily needs, as well there is a good (vegetarian!!) restaurant closeby in the same street, a nice bar on the other side of the street and a metro-station within a short walk of about 3 minutes! The apartment itself was extremly clean and with nice furniture! I was lucky enough and had an apartment with a window to the backyard - so it was quiet inside at any time of the day/night! I can highly recommend these apartments - I would book it again at any time ... if I am lucky enough to return to the beautiful city of Prague ...
The apartment was simply great! Big and well furnished, extremely clean and cosy. Boys and girls at the reception were great too helping us find our way through the discovery of Prague!.
Close to the metro, close to the city center and really easy to reach also from the airport.
We loved this wonderful apartments in the center of Prague! So close to subway ad tram. Also the apartment was brand new, warm, roomy, clean... We couldn't ask for more
The stay at Praque was a wonderful time.
It is a beautiful apartment and it includes everything what you need!
It was clean, tidy and nicely furnished.
I would recommend it to any one to stay there. The people are very friendly and it is also very close by the city. My friend and I were able to go everyday by foot to the town ( To the city of Prague).
So altogether it's a great house with lots of nice people and a good location to have a wonderful stay in Prague.
Absolutely great experience.
Huge, nice, clean and lovely designed flat. Very central and definetely to recommend.
The apartment was beautiful. It feels like home. It had everything we needed for this little stay successful.
By cons, we were a little disappointed that there was no bedding for 2 people or bedside light to read a book before going to sleep.
I will recommend this hotel apart.
Dear Elizabeth!
Your hotel is great! We had wonderful days in Prague! The apartment is beautiful, great service and with the metro no problem to reach. The old town is not far away and there are also supermarkets just one step out of the house! Thank you! Greetings from Germany:-)
Estupendo apartamento bien ubicado y limpio, las recepcionistas mas simpáticas de toda Praga. Gracias por todo.
Das Apartment ist sehr zentral gelegen und es gibt zahlreiche Cafés und Restaurants um die Ecke. Es befindet sich in einem Apartmenthaus mit eigener Rezeption, was praktisch ist, da alle Fragen schnell und freundlich beantwortet werden.

Our Governors
* Elected Staff Governor
** Elected Parent Governor
*** Appointed by Reading Foundation
Dr Susan Bowen
I am an appointed Governor and have been on the Governing Body since December 2011. I work as a General Practitioner, with special interests in GP Training and Appraisal, all areas which have parallels in school management. I serve on the Curriculum and Admissions Committees and am Chair of the External Relations and Pastoral Care Committee. I am Link Governor for Biology, for the school's Learning Resources Centre and for Special Educational Needs and Disability I also have two sons, one of whom left the school in 2015, the younger one will be in Year 12 from Sept 2015
Mr Richard Childs **
I was elected a parent governor in 2010. I try to be an active support to the school, spending my time in the following areas: Finance Committee; Property Committee; Development Board; Headmaster's Financial Strategies Working Group; link governor for physics; and I am a trustee of the Reading Foundation. I am an alumnus of the school myself (1971-78). I retired early from Accenture where I was a senior partner – so I have a clear view of what top employers look for from boys like ours. I have two daughters who have both been through secondary school, the university entrance process and are experiencing the current job market. I taught physics for two years a long time ago! I am interested in supporting the team that runs Reading School, securing funds for the school and in finding ways of improving the facilities that are on offer to current and future generations of students.
Mr Mark Faulkner
I am an appointed governor, joining the governing body in March 2014. I am a retired chartered accountant and stockbroker, having lived and worked across Asia and the Americas for almost 20 years. For the majority of my career I managed teams of research analysts looking into economies, industries and companies to provide investment advice to professional investors. I have also spent extended periods as a visiting post-graduate researcher at Keio University in Tokyo, Japan and in a similar role in the Japanese central bank, the Bank of Japan. I am currently a serving school governor at a primary school in Hampshire and a local councillor. My interests include how Reading School prepares boys for life after they leave the school and, against the backdrop of the way in which my life and career unfolded, opportunities for boys to find experience overseas. I have a son who recently joined the school as a boarding pupil.
Mr David Fisher (Vice Chair)
I have been a governor at Reading School since November 2008. I serve on the Finance and EXPC Committees.. I am a local government accountant and have served a total of over 15 years as a governor at 3 different local schools. I am an elected parent governor (until 2016) and act as Responsible Officer providing independent oversight of the school's financial affairs.
Mr Rodney Huggins MBE ***
I have been a Governor representing the Reading Foundation since October 2008. My Committees are Property and the Development Board. I have also been a Trustee of Reading Foundation since 2000 and Chairman of the Foundation's Board of Trustees since 2006. I was at Reading School from 1944 until 1952. I then qualified as a solicitor, and worked a Court Advocate in Kenya from 1959 until 1961. From 1983, I was a tribunal judge specialising in social security, tax and criminal injuries and retired in 2010. My interests include music, golf, cricket and rugby. I am also a keen Rotarian having held several national and international posts mainly in the constitutional field.
Mr David Jubb
I have been a Governor in schools in Leicestershire and Berkshire for over 20 years and, at Reading School for nearly 14 years. During this time I have served on both the Curriculum and Finance Committees, and have been Chairman of the latter for a number of years. I am a Chartered Accountant and have spent most of my career in industry. For the last 25 years I have worked for the UK subsidiary of a large US multinational group. My areas of expertise are finance, tax and general business matters. My main area of interest is finance and supporting the school in maintaining a sound financial position.
Mrs Angie Kay
I became an appointed governor in December 2012 and Vice Chair of Governors in December 2013. I serve on the Curriculum & Standards, Property & Projects, External Relations & Pastoral Care and Finance Committees, am Vice Chair of Finance, Link Governor for Development, Drama and Music and Lead Governor on Governing Body Self-Evaluation and Training.

Outside of Reading School I am a company director, an independent marketing, PR and fundraising consultant, an Associate Trainer/Consultant with the National Governors' Association and a member of an Interim Executive Board for a local primary school in special measures. My primary interest is in making the Governing Body as effective as it can be in supporting Reading School boys and staff to achieve their full potential.
Mr Bob Kenwrick (Chair)
I have a son who is currently in the Sixth Form. I have been involved as a Governor in a number of schools over the last 10 years. Here at Reading School I have been a Governor for 4 years. I sit on the Property and External Relations and Pastoral Care committees. My other responsibilities within the Governing Body are Health and Safety, Boarding, and I sit on the Headmasters performance committee.
Miss Deirdre Smith
I was a real estate partner in a large City firm of solicitors which I gave up when having my family. I was an in house solicitor for some time afterwards and then I acquired a small local business in Caversham to run around organising the family. My son will start at Reading School in year 7 so I am very happy to use my skills to help the school in any way that I can. I have joined the Property and Finance committees and will also help on issues to do with sport.
Professor Stephen Nortcliff
I have been a Governor since 2002. I am also a member of the Finance Committee and a Trustee of the Reading Foundation. I taught and researched Soil Science in the Tertiary sector from 1972 until my retirement in 2011.

I was also Secretary General of the International Union of Soil Sciences from 2002 to 2010. I have experience in managing staff and funds whilst providing a broad curriculum to fit the varied needs of the students. My principal interests are in supporting the School in providing a curriculum which is challenging to the boys and which equips them for success in their University careers and beyond.

Elected as parent governor in December 2012 (my son is now in Year 13), I serve on the Curriculum and Standards Committee and am Vice-Chair of the External Relations and Pastoral Care Committee. My Link Governor role comprises both Classics and Modern Foreign Languages, so my professional work as an MFL teacher in another Academy supports this function, and my previous marketing/PR career and governorship also enable me to contribute further knowledge, skills and experience.
Dr Beth Reynaert
I joined the Governing Body in March 2015. I am a teacher and Academic Manager by profession, entering the field of education after completing a BSc in Applied Biology, a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and five years as a Research Associate studying the physical interaction of proteins in Thrombosis and Neurofibromatosis. I have been teaching Chemistry for the last 14 years and have experience of teaching in both the independent and state sectors. My day to day activities involve scrutinising data, finding multiple solutions to complex problems, strategic planning, monitoring academic departments and advising on whole school academic issues. I have developed an in depth knowledge of tracking pupil progress, careers education, timetabling and curriculum, exams management, data management and analysis, staffing and pastoral care within both boarding and day settings. I am interested in all aspects of school management. I am keen to utilise my position on the Governing Body to support Reading School in the education of its pupils against an ever changing educational landscape.
Karen Ross MBE
I was appointed as Governor in March, 2016 and am working out which areas of support I can provide. In my career, I recently retired as Chief Executive of Relate Berkshire, running counselling services to support couples, families, children and young people. During my time at Relate, I was awarded the MBE for services to children and families. I am also on the Board of the Berkshire County Sports Partnership, known as Get Berkshire Active and a Committee member of the Riverside Nursery.
I am passionate about providing quality education in an environment which encourages young people to grow and develop and am currently working out which areas of support for the school I can provide to the Board.
Aditi Bose **
I joined Reading School governing body from December 2016 as a parent governor and have twin boys in the school who started in Year 7 from September 2015. Being a chemical engineer by profession with over 20 years of experience, I have been lucky to have worked in various roles, responsibilities, locations and in wide variety of industries including Oil & Gas, refinery, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, atomic energy and nuclear waste management to name a few. It is my pleasure that I am able to support Reading School with my limited ability to maintain it's high standards and ethos of providing excellent education and leadership qualities to the boys and giving the society some of their best men who not only shine in their future lives as a successful man and a good human being but also help other less fortunate ones.
Mr Edmund Bradley**
I joined the Governing Body as a parent governor in December 2016 and plan to attend the meetings of all the sub-committees before deciding which ones to support on a permanent basis. I am an accountant by profession and until recently was financial business partner for children and schools at a nearby Berkshire local authority. School funding has been a big part of my professional career and I am familiar with the financial challenges state-funded schools face. I look forward to using this knowledge to help shape the future direction of Reading School and to develop further the broader experience of the boys. I have also worked with the Audit Commission, in the education charity sector, and have recently taken up a new finance role at Reading University. I have two sons, one is in his first year at university, the other is now in year 10. My wider interests include music, modern languages and current affairs.

Sprint Nextel and the Association for Maximum Service Television (MSTV) have announced a new program that reimburses broadcasters for costs associated with relocating eligible secondary broadcast auxiliary service (BAS) facilities from the 1990MHz to 2025MHz band.
Sprint said it would voluntarily reimburse the "reasonable expenses" of those secondary station licenses, including low-power television stations, television translators and stations operating under the FCC's 720-hour rule.
"Sprint voluntarily agreed to reimburse these additional costs to promote timely completion of the BAS relocation process," said Michael Degitz, Sprint vice president Spectrum Allocation.
MSTV president David Donovan said that each TV station or group must contract individually with Sprint. For many stations, he said, "we anticipate this will become part of their current frequency relocation agreement."
The FCC recently affirmed that while Sprint is not required to reimburse the costs of relocating secondary BAS station licenses, it may choose to at the company's discretion. The agreement between Sprint and MSTV provides specific criteria under which broadcasters can become eligible to receive compensation from Sprint for costs associated with relocating operations to comparable facilities in the revised channel plan.
The 1990MHz to 2110MHz band (2GHz BAS band) is currently used extensively by the BAS for mobile TV pickup (TVPU) operations, including electronic newsgathering (ENG) operations to cover news and sporting events. In cooperation with the broadcast industry, Sprint Nextel has committed to funding the cost of relocating eligible primary BAS incumbents nationwide from the 1990MHz to 2025MHz band to ensure a timely transition to the new BAS configuration and pave the way for new wireless services.
Broadcasters can review detailed information on the eligibility requirements and intermediate milestones that secondary BAS licensees must meet at www.2ghzrelocation.com.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by BillLaimbeer, Oct 15, 2013.
I hope they don't rush him back. Wait for the tooth to be back at full strength. It's a long season.
as I said at a different occassion in this forum, this may be a blessing in disguise. I'd love to see Siva get some burn and Will Bynum running fastbreaks with the bigs. Also, Jennings will have to work even harder to get minutes if the rotation without him delivers.
Stuckey's injury is a blessing in disguise. We've all seen his "thumbs-down" act for years and I have no reason to believe that it would be any different this year. His injury paves the way for our lottery pick to get some extra reps and helps make sure that we see as little of Rodney as possible. Different story with Brandon Jennings IMO. Jennings is on a new team and has a fresh start. He needs to be out there running with his new teammates. I don't see any angle of this situation that makes this a "blessing in disguise". He's a starting PG on a new team. He needs to rehab his tooth ASAP and get back to work.
From all reports, it sounds like Stuckey will be back much sooner than Jennings. The Thumb may be back for the opener.
Can we call Jennings "The Tooth" now? Please? Because someone with better Photoshop skills than me could make a phenomenal spoof of this: Also, he's not the worst-shooting PG the Pistons have had in some time, but Calderon was arguably the best-shooting PG in the league.
Okay, so inspired by myself, I went ahead and created a fairly amateur one.
now...toothless has a new meaning....wider meaning... "without "The Tooth" this team is toothless"
I just hope Jennings has to play a couple of game with the old school bandage tied around his jaw/head with the bunny ears up top tied in a knot.
...fashioned from banana peels.
Thumb down, man down. The good news with teeth is that once they're healed, they're healed. There is no risk of re-injuring it.
Why can't he play with a hurt tooth? Stuckey did... although his street cred fell down a notch with his finger boo boo.
I read an article yesterday that Jennings is now able to put his tooth pretty high up on the wall. It sounds like he's progressing. (I'll try and find the link.)
I looked at his models. His situation looks worse than first believed.
I think you're right... I'm no dentist, but a mouth and teeth made of some sort of rubber polymer can't be a good thing.

Carter says hopes to meet North Korea leader and son
"The Elders are not in a position to negotiate, we're not mediators. We're going to learn what we can and share what we find with the leaders with whom we have contact in the future."
Their visit comes as the six-party envoys step up their shuttle diplomacy to search for ways to restart nuclear talks. China's representative Wu Dawei will visit Seoul on Tuesday.
The main regional powers agree inter-Korean dialogue must precede the resumption of regional nuclear talks.
South Korea's Unification Minister Hyun In-taek told a seminar on Monday the situation had reached an "inflection point," but reiterated that Pyongyang must show a responsible attitude on last year's two attacks on the peninsula.
The North denies responsibility for the torpedoing of a South Korean warship last year, and said it shelled Yongpyeong island after South Korea test-fired artillery into its waters.
While Washington has said it "won't talk for talks' sake," experts say that while the two sides engage in dialogue the likelihood of the North staging a military attack like last year's deadly assault on a South Korean island diminishes.
Carter and his team, which includes former Irish President Mary Robinson, former Finnish President Martti Ahtisaari and ex-Norwegian Prime Minister Gro Brundtland, will also be looking at the country's parlous food resources.
More than 6 million people in North Korea urgently need food aid because of substantial falls in domestic production, food imports and international aid, the United Nations said last month. Continued...

George Kurtz, CTO of McAfee, said in a blog post that his company is participating in the investigation and that the intellectual property stolen from Google was likely source code. Citing a study conducted by his company, he said that businesses lose more than $1 trillion in intellectual property annually due to data theft and cybercrime,
In a blog post on Wednesday, Mikko Hypponen, chief research officer at Finnish security company F-Secure, said he believes "the attack was launched via a convincing e-mail with an exploit-ridden PDF attachment."
The iDefense report says that the December attack on Google and other companies has similarities to a July attack on about 100 companies in the IT sector. That attack used a malicious PDF file to exploit a zero-day vulnerability in Adobe Reader.
"According to sources familiar with the present attack, attackers delivered malicious code used against Google and others using PDFs as e-mail attachments; those same sources also claim that the files have similar characteristics to those distributed during the July attacks," the report states. "In both attacks, the malicious files drop a backdoor Trojan in the form of a Windows DLL."
The report suggests the July and December attacks may be the same attack, meaning that affected companies may have been compromised for months.
In reference to the December attack, an Adobe spokesperson said, "At this time, we have no evidence to suggest that a vulnerability in Adobe Reader was an attack vector in this incident."
Adobe on Tuesday happened to issue a security patch for a vulnerability in its Acrobat and Reader software that had been actively exploited for at least a month.
Alan Paller, director of research at the SANS Institute, said it is likely that the attack was a highly targeted spear-phishing attack that exploited a zero-day vulnerability in the software used by employees at targeted companies.
"It doesn't really matter if the attack targeted Word or Adobe or a video player," said Chris Wysopal, CTO of Veracode. "What's clear is that the set of software on the user's system really isn't being scrutinized and managed the way a machine connected to the Internet, like a Web server or gateway, is."
That's something that needs to change, Wysopal insists.

Sia - Clap Your Hands (new video & official mixes)
Nothing makes us happier than getting news from camp Sia. With an endless supply of free spiritedness along with a perfect pop musicality to boot, the Australian singer and songwriter never fails to entertain, be it visually or audibly. Today, we're picking up on a bit of both, so get ready to grin, because there are goodies to gobble up.
Second single, Clap Your Hands, from the gal's upcoming 5th studio album, We Are Born, is a jaunty jam of a gem, showcasing the singer's often-neurotic, yet embraceable, style of singing and wordplay. At times it,'s funky and with moments of sincere emotions tossed on top, not only does the track have us smacking our mitts together, but it has our feet tapping the ground in nonstop fashion. The single was released earlier this month and can be purchased here.
Yesterday, she unveiled the video for the song, and holy puppets and fundom! Sia always manages to keep a young wash of wonder throughout her videos and this one falls right in line with everything we dig about her visual productions.
Watch the clip below, then jump after for :30 second previews of official remixes of Clap Your Hands from Diplo and Fred Falke. Two completely different yet equally stunning jaw-droppers!

I think i would have waited til i was down the street a little before i checked my car for damage .
As far as him pointing the pole saw at your dad , your walking away already ( which is the right thing to do ) Is he coming at your dad with it or standing his ground with it .
It goes to your thought on what his thoughts were at the time either to shoe you and your dad away or assulat your dad . If it was to harm your dad then u have to make a choice and very fast.
Sometimes these things are posted and people say either shoot or dont shoot but its hard to put yourself in the shoes of someone else with out all the details.
What did you do ?

Sundance Vacations Plan with Tan, Travel Advantage Network Manipulative, Illegal business practices Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
Sundance Vacations (Plan with Tan/Travel Advantage Network) used many material misrepresentations in their presentation to me, including lying about acquiring properties in Europe, telling me there would always be studio units availabe, and many other things. In addition, they used illegal business practices by telling me in writing in my contract that I had no right of rescission. In fact, this is agains the law in PA, which gives me a three day right of rescission that Sundance legally was supposed to tell me in writing at the time of sale.
If this wasn't bad enough, every time I said NO, they kept changing their speech and manipulating me in order to get me to buy their product. They are an underhanded company that uses illegal practices and manipulation to lure people into buying a product, and then they don't deliver on their promises!
Stay away from Sundance Vacations and all of their subsidiaries. They cannnot be trusted!!!

|Patriots Look Poised For Another Super Bowl Run
|Bruins Trade For Drew Stafford
|Black and Gold Bruins Turn Yellow On Parade Day
|Inconsistency Will Continue For Bruins Unless A Change Is Made
Amid rumors that David Ortiz is older than he claims, is he trying to turn back the clock and record his first 40-40 season? Maybe not. He hit his second home run of the season, a 300-footer off the Pesky pole (the shortest Major League home run possible) and attempted his second stolen base of the season in the Rangers series. Knowing his wheels are a little slow, he left a little too early and was thrown out at second by the pitcher. The Nation is still waiting for the power surge, and at this point, breaking the Mendoza line is a victory of sorts.
The Red Sox swept the series in Mo-Town, but returned home and lost the series to the Rangers, an occurrence unseen since 1997, dropping the Red Sox behind the Yankees heading into this week's showdown. After the Red Sox complete this week's series with the Phillies, it will be the fourth consecutive series against a division leader.
The Red Sox found their offense in Detroit and swept the Tigers to get the week off to a good start. Daisuke Matsuzaka got the Red Sox off on the right foot with his best outing of the season to earn his first win. He allowed only one run in five innings with a modest six hits and three walks to go along with six K's. This was the Dice-K I think the Nation was expecting: very much in control, though 96 pitches only got him through five. He has to get after hitters and avoid the deep pitch counts and he can last deeper into games.
Jacoby Ellsbury went 3-3 with a walk and Jason Bay added another home run to get Terry Francona his 500th managerial win in the 5-1 decision.
Josh Beckett had another ace's outing in the second game as he went 7.2 strong innings, just mowing the Tigers down, and not allowing a hit until the seventh. He finished with nine whiffs, two hits, two walks, and three runs, though none earned in the 10-5 victory.
The offense spread it around with every starter recording a hit and no one getting more than two. J. D. Drew had a home run and Ortiz had an RBI double as he continues to get a good rip on the occaisional pitch, but cannot shake the funk.
Tim Wakefield recovered from a three-run second to earn his seventh win as he went 6.2 innings in the 6-3 win. The Red Sox got all six runs in the third inning without an extra base hit. They took advantage of Dontrelle Willis' control issues (five walks) and rapped out a bunch of hits of Tigers relievers. For the game the Sox plated six on only six hits, but did get the nine walks and one hit batsman.
It was a very good series for the Red Sox as they won with patience and very little power and really took Detroit's bullpen apart. They got three good outings from the starters and the bullpen did their job as well.
The power outage the Red Sox were suffering from in Detroit cost the Red Sox against Texas as they could have used a few more runs. Brad Penny's trade value took a hit as he was rocked for five runs in 5.2 innings, the big blow being a three-run Ian Kinsler home run. Kevin Millwood sprinkled seven Sox hits around as he allowed only one unearned runs in seven innings in the 5-1 loss. Papi had the only RBI with a single and Drew was the only Sox with more than one hit.
Jon Lester returned to last season's form with a brilliant effort in the second game, going perfect for 6.1 innings in the complete game two hitter. He also struck out 11 in the 8-1 win. Ortiz was 2-3 with a walk and that 300-foot home run off Pesky's pole.
In the finale, Dice-K failed to walk a batter, but gave up 10 hits and five runs in 5.2 innings to fall to 1-4 on the season. He was around the plate as evidence by his eight whiffs, but the Rangers got a lot of wood on the ball. The Red Sox trailed all day and Mark Kotsay returned to the starting lineup for the first time this season with a home run as they dropped the series with the 6-3 defeat.
The Red Sox continue to do as well as their starters do. Their offense appears to be missing that major power threat as they are struggling to come from behind as the pitching staff carries the team.
The Yankees offense has been reinvigorated with Alex Rodriguez' return since these teams last played each other. Mark Teixeira has found the form that made him so coveted this offseason with the protection in the lineup. The Yankees score almost six per game, second in the majors, and their 88 home runs are also good for second. Their .357 on base percentage (.001 ahead of the Red Sox) is good for third with credit going to the lineup that strikes out less than six times per game, in the top third in the league, and a change from recent years.
So, where are the problems? Pitching. Their 4.89 ERA is fourth worst in the majors partly because the new stadium has become a home run derby park and the Yankees have allowed the fourth most overall.
The matchups feature Beckett and high priced free agent signee A.J. Burnett (4-2, 4.69 ERA, 1.39 WHIP) who is not yet hurt, Wakefield and the recently returned Chien-Ming Wang (0-3, 14.46, 2.57), and Penny facing the Yankees other prize CC Sabathia (5-3, 3.56, 1.13). Beckett lives for these games and Wang should go back to looking for answers which should give the Red Sox enough to win the series, but Wakefield makes it no lock as the Yankees do know him after seeing him so often.
Every Penny start from now until he is traded (it seems like a when, not if) is an audition and facing a potent offense against CC does not put him in the best position to impress.
The weather was not so friendly the last time the Red Sox visited the City of Brotherly Love in 2008. One day was postponed, forcing the Red Sox to give up a Labor Day weekend day off and play a one-game series in the city to make up the day.
This time around the Phillies are reigning World Champs and looking just as good, at least offensively this season. Brad Lidge is the big question mark of late, having blown the most saves in the majors after a perfect season last year.
Raul Ibanez has been the free agent pickup of the year with his .329-19 HR-54 RBI-46 R start to the season. All of those numbers are team highs, along with his 72 hits and 20 doubles. He is not even a one man team as Chase Utley is hitting .296 with 12 HR, 11 2B, 38 RBI, and 39 R. Shane Victorino is hitting .295 with 39 R and 9 swipes. Ryan Howard, not an average threat, has 17 bombs and 47 batted in while hitting .259.
As a team, the Phils are fifth in runs, third in home runs, and 10th in OBP among ML teams. Their team ERA is near the bottom, however, but their bullpen is the strong part of the staff, and that includes Lidge's shakiness. Lester draws Joe Blanton (4-3, 5.46, 1.46), Dice-K faces Antonio Bastardo (2-0, 2.45, 1.18), and Beckett gets J. A. Happ (4-0, 2.48, 0.98).
Citizen's Bank Park is a launching pad which tends to hurt Lester, more of a flyball pitcher, but Blanton struggles with the big hits as well. Bastardo and Happ have great lines, but not a lot behind them yet. Bastardo has made two career starts: in Los Angeles (NL) and San Diego, two pitcher's parks and no offense like the Red Sox, since the Dodgers are without Manny Ramirez. If Dice-K gets wild in this game, 100 pitches will not get him through three innings. Happ has mostly been used in relief, very effectively at that, and his starts have been short (about five innings) and his best one also came away from home, also at LA.
I like the Sox in this litmus test to take two of three.

I have two flues in my home. A 8" basement flue 60" off of the cement floor thru cinder block. Very easy to work with any unit. The second is a 6" flue in the one side on my living area set up to burn a small stove either wood of coal. There is a 2x6 framed decked area for stove placement with the synthetic material used around stoves.
But the flue for this area is a mere 25" off of the deck. This limits which stoves I can use. I believe the po's built this area to seat a Harman Mark I although they had a Mark III in place when I purchased. I picked up a Godin Oval in excellent condition but the outlet of the Godin is almost 32". I need to pipe into 24". No room for elbows. I put myself in a jam buying this stove. But it looks great.
How many inches floor to flue is typical in a living room setting?

Police: Man breaks into apartment, hides in bed
GREENVILLE - At about 1:25 am Greenville Police responded to the report of a burglary in progress at the Province Apartment complex. Two female victims reported that a man was banging on the door and attempting to gain entry through a window.
One of the girls escaped from the ground floor apartment through another window, while the other girl locked herself in a bathroom.
Stephanie Gordy said she was terrified as she watched the suspect walk throughout the apartment from the bottom of the floor.
"Oh I was freaking out. I was like if the police don't come in here right now. I was so scared they weren't going to show up," she said.
She said she could also hear him going through the kitchen.
"He had pulled out chicken wings out of the fridge like leftover wings and a bottle of wine and bottle of liquor out of the freezer," Gordy said.
Greenville Police and East Carolina University Police Officers surrounded the apartment building and then GPD officers entered the apartment. The officers evacuated Gordy from the bathroom and then they searched the apartment for the suspect.
Officers found 22 year old Derrick Greene hiding in a bedroom. He appeared to be pretending to be asleep when the officers located him.
"[He was] pretending that he lived there so [my roommate] was kinda freaked out that he was in her bed," Gordy said.
Greene was arrested and charged with First Degree Burglary, and Damage to Property. He was jailed under a $500,000 secured bond.

Finding Kind
Lauren Parsekian and Molly Thompson, both 24, are taking on bullies. Their weapon of choice: kindness. Parsekian and Thompson are the founders of the Kind Campaign. It's an international movement that raises awareness of bullying among girls in schools, and encourages them to simply be nice to one another.
The two friends and Pepperdine University classmates started the campaign in 2009, after making a documentary called Finding Kind, on the effects of bullying. The pair can relate: They were both bullied in grade school. Parsekian and Thompson traveled across the U.S. and spoke to women and girls of all ages. Watch the trailer for Finding Kind, above.

By Mohd. Ismail Khan, TwoCircles.net,
Vijayawada/Hyderabad: National capital is caught in uproar against the brutal rape of 23 year old para-medical student who is now fighting for her life in a hospital bed. Away from media galore, however, family members of victim of another para-medical student in Vijayawada are waiting for justice five years after the incident.
Exactly five year ago, on December 26, 2007 Ayesha Meera, 19 year old pharmacy student was gang raped and murdered inside the girls' hostel she was living and brutally murdered.
Ayesha Meera, a resident of Tenali Town in Guntur district was a student of Nimra engineering and medical college at neighbouring Vijayawada city in Krishna district. 100 K.m. away from her home she was staying at Sri Durga Ladies Hostel in Ibrahimpatnam village near her college.
In the early hours of morning on December 27, 2007 Ayesha's naked blood soaked body was found in the hostel toilet with legs and hands tied to water tap and the iron rod, with her own dress.
Her head was under pool of blood and it was clear that her head was banged on the wall and made unconscious before she was brutally raped. Autopsy report found that she was not only being raped before getting killed of brain damage due to head injury, but that inhuman act continued even on her dead body.
At that time this case caused sensation in Andhra Pradesh when the names of senior Congress leaders were brought up. Grandson of former deputy C.M. Koneru Ranga Rao(who was then Municipal administration minister) Koneru Satish, who was the Sarpanch of the village was one of the suspects. Another suspect was Congress Mandal President Cheruku Madhav Rao.
For five years, however, shrouded in lax investigations by local police, the case has seen many flip-flops. In September, 2010 the lone accused Pidathala Satyam Babu, a physically handicapped illiterate man from a backward community, was convicted and sentenced for life. Ayesha Meera's family, however, claim that Babu was just a scapegoat to save the real culprits.
Ayesha's mother Shamshad Begum (center)
At the time of incident many Muslim groups, women and human rights organizations had protested frequently in Vijayawada when investigation of the case was not dealt properly. One such organization was Muslim United Front of Vijayawada. Its president Habeebur Rehman told TCN that he has lost hope that Ayesha will ever get justice in the present situation.
Habeebur Rehman alleged that the role of police was wary from the beginning. "The fact is police even failed to secure the crime scene, most of the crucial evidence was cleared even before police had reached the spot," he alleged.
Rehman explained that there were 20 students on the second floor of the hostel, where the crime took place, including Ayesha's two roommates. The only stairs to reach the 2nd floor was locked by an iron gate whose keys were always with its warden I. Padma. "But surprisingly gang of murderers climbed those stairs entered the building, gang raped and brutally killed an innocent girl and every one denied even hearing anything that night," he added.
Rehman said locals who assembled at spot saw Sarpanch of the village Koneru Satish and Congress Mandal president Madhav Rao in the hostel even before the police arrived. MUF also claimed that their organization collected the phone records of the hostel and found that frequent calls were made to a doctor in the early morning of December 27.
MUF claimed that doctor was called even before the police to remove any forensic evidence. After MUF reveled the fact about presence of doctor at the site, investigating officer next day gave clean chit to the doctor by saying that he was present there whole day for 'some other propose'.
Muslim women demanding justice for Ayesha
Police could not find any other evidence except a love letter written allegedly by the killer, some blood stains on the clothes of Ayesha, a left foot print in her room and handwritten word by marker 'Chirutta'(leopard) in Telugu written on the chest of the deceased.
The case had then caused uproar in the Andhra Pradesh Assembly in early 2008 when Chandrababu Naidu, leader of the opposition attacked CM Rajshekar Reddy on the alleged involvement of the kin of his cabinet minister.
Three police commissioners were changed in Vijayawada city during the course of preliminary investigation. Government even fielded Muslim IPS officer AK Khan as CP to pacify the agitated Muslims whom started believing that investigation was getting diverted.
Police during the initial period of investigation tried to arrest kin of Ayesha Meera, including her uncle, with whom police alleged Ayesha had an affair. Ayesha Meera's father Syed Iqbal Basha said it was the tactic of the police to build pressure on the family so they would restrain from demanding justice and to bring Ayesha in the poor light in the society.
When police couldn't find anything against Ayesha's family, under pressure they arrested Sivanjaneyulu from Hyderabad and declared him an accused. When nothing was found against Sivan, police arrested Upendra Singh from Jagityal in Karimnagar district and later his accomplice Gurvindar Singh Anand alias Laddu who was already in jail for other rape charges. But police had to release them when no proof was found against them and when their kin approached State Human Rights Commission.
During the process of police investigation, AP Minority's Commission, National Women Commission, and State Human Rights Commission did their own independent investigation and found many lapses in police investigation. They recommended interrogation of key players including hostel warden and politicians of the village.
Rally demanding arrest of real culprits
Infact polygraph test was done on K. Satish by the police, and the test reports reveled that Satish lied to police on two occasions, when he was asked if he knew the hostel owner, and when asked if he is hiding any facts.
As a year passed by and police appeared clueless, suddenly one day Piduthala Satyam Babu was shown arrested in the case and made prime accused.
During the process of his trial, Satyam was taken for medical examination, and Satyam who can't walk without the support of others, according to police, escaped from the custody of 10 officers. But when Dalit organizations started protests fearing his encounter, he was declared found after some hours.
Satyam Babu, a Christian Dalit who is suffering from GB syndrome and can hardly walk, was convicted in September, 2010 in Ayesha Meera gang rape and murder case and awarded life imprisonment.
But now Shamshad Begum, mother of Ayesha Meera and lecturer by profession, believes that Satyam Babu was made a scape goat by the Congress Government to save the kin of their cabinet minister. Even residents of Satyam's village claimed that Satyam at the night of December 26 was in his village of Anasargarm and attended mass prayers of the Christmas Eve.
Speaking to TCN Satyam's lawyer, Srinivas said "Women trial court convicted Satyam Babu on the basis of confession statement taken in police custody, and on the report from a tainted doctor of AP Forensic Lab, Dr.Venkanna (he was caught red-handed by ACB while he was accepting a bribe for making a false forensic report). And moreover that Judge didn't allow defense lawyer to question the prosecution witness."
Srinivas added that trial in women court was conducted in a hurried manner as government was keen in protecting their workers. Advocate Srinivas believes that in High court they will be able to prove the innocence of Satyam Babu. They will then demand fresh enquiry in Ayesha's rape and murder case to make sure that real culprits are brought to justice, he added.
Syed Iqbal Basha, a mathematics teacher and father of Ayesha Meera told TCN, "Even after five years of suffering we have not received justice as police failed to make proper and unbiased investigation." He added that the family met even the Vice-president Hamid Ansari and other senior government officials in the state to beg for justice and fair investigation but they got nothing but lip service.
Iqbal also alleges that when he, accompanied by MIM president Assaduddin Owaisi, met the then Chief Minister Rajshekar Reddy he asked him to take 75,000 rupees and close the matter as it was matter of 'unholy love affair between uncle and her niece'.
Iqbal said he was disheartened by the words of CM and refused to accept the ex-gratia and demanded justice.
Kaneez Fatima, Joint Secretary of Civil Liberties Monitoring committee, said that Ayesha's case proves how influential people often influence the course of investigation, and how parents whose daughter were raped and murdered have to face all kind of discrimination, even by the CM.
Fatima added late YS Rajshekar Reddy was responsible for diverting the investigation and denying justice to the family. She said it was the duty of Muslim leadership to get justice for their community's daughter, in which they have failed shamefully.
She also said that although the investigation is being diverted, but it's never been too late for the justice to be done. She demanded CBI enquiry into the case for free and fair probe.
Assaduddin Owaisi speaking to the local protesters
Shamshad Begum was upset that most of the community leaders and members did not stand with the family in the time of need, and its leaders often betrayed them. She said once she went to the office of senior Congress leader and then electricity minister Mohd. Ali Shabbir but he didn't even bother to respond to her salam and she was not allowed to enter his office.
The family of Ayesha Meera said they are stuck in a situation where they can't do anything except to wait for the judgment of the High Court on Satyam Babu, only when Satyam Babu is proven innocent they can move to court for a fresh investigation.
The family is resolute though that they will fight till end to get justice for their daughter. Breaking down into tears Iqbal said that he believes in Allah and that even if courts failed to provide justice, Allah will definitely listen to their plight, and will provide peace to their daughter's soul.
He added that his daughter Ayesha was born and died on the same days as Benazir Bhutto. Bhutto's death brought revolution in Pakistan, and he said he is waiting to see revolution of Ayesha's part in Andhra Pradesh as an uprising for the protection and safety of many other daughters, like it is currently going on in Delhi.

Holes in Howard's script this time around
Page Tools
The PM is banking on his record, but it's what he hasn't done that matters, writes Louise Dodson.
Over four years ago, in January 2000, John Howard delivered what he called a Federation address, highlighting some of his goals for Australia. He talked of the importance of national economic policies to deliver higher sustainable growth in order to build a fairer and more prosperous society.
He talked of the changing nature of the workplace and the need for policies to assist people - often women with children - to work from home. And he talked of the need to provide opportunities for older people to remain in the workforce.
He did not mention the Labor Party but he talked of the choice presented to Australians between his policies, which involved sound financial management, an improved tax system, reducing transport costs, individual responsibility and deregulation, and different policy choices which could result in budgetary management being compromised, workplace relations being returned to centralised controls and "social policy reversed in favour of dependence over incentives to personal responsiblity".
In August 2001 - just three months before the federal election in November that year - Howard delivered a National Press Club address.
He talked of the importance of encouraging people aged between 55 and 70 to remain in the workforce to reverse the impact of an ageing population on the economy. He talked of the importance of ensuring sustainable resources such as water. And he talked of the important choice facing Australians between a government which had secured Australia's economic future and the Opposition, which, he said, "has a well-deserved reputation for economic mismanagement and an instinctive tendency towards a tax and spend approach".
Sound familiar? It should.
Three years after the 2001 speech, the Prime Minister has just outlined his vision and goals as a pre-election pitch for a fourth term. There are remarkable similarities, in particular his claim Labor would wreck the economy with financial mismanagement, the importance of strong economic management and deregulation, the need for policies to encourage people working at home, for older people to stay in the workforce and to ensure sustainable resources is almost the same.
What is going on? Why does it suddenly feel like we're in a time warp? Is Howard's policy cupboard bare?
The answer is that Howard is selling himself and his record and trying to whip up fears about Labor leader Mark Latham's ability to govern.
He wants you to remember his consistency and experience. His policy framework and philosophy has changed little in almost 10 years - as evidenced by a perusal of his speeches going back to 1995 when he became the opposition leader.
It is instructional to look back on Howard's policy speech for the 1996 election - which he went on to win.
As in his latest speech, Howard talks of the importance of practical economic policies to improve the living standards of Australians.
He talks up the challenge of attacking unemployment - including among young people - of improving home ownership and home unaffordability, of encouraging small business, of ending the "marginalisation of the interests of older people" and the central role of families.
Eight years later the Government's record on economic policy, on producing balanced or surplus budgets, on keeping interest rates, unemployment and inflation down since 1996, is good.
Even on measures such as home ownership and youth unemployment, the Government has performed well. Youth unemployment remains too high, but it has come down. Home affordability has declined but the Government does provide assistance to people to buy their first home.
But one huge area that Howard stressed in 1996 that does not rate a mention in his latest speech is a commitment to high standards in government, of accountability, independence and openness.
These are all things Latham has been talking about and which Labor is committed to promoting if it wins the upcoming election.
Latham has promised an independent Speaker in Parliament's House of Representatives, more effective freedom of information legislation and an end to the so-called "dirt units" of government staffers who monitor and dig up material to be used against political opponents.
(I would like to put on the record that I have never received any material relating to the personal lives of MPs, including Mark Latham, from the Government.)
Back in 1996 Howard gave accountability top priority.
"This election is also about accountability. It gives Australians the opportunity to determine whether a 13-year-old government that has deceived them, arrogantly taken them for granted and cynically broken the promises made to them is to be rewarded with another term in office," Howard fumed.
The Government has improved financial and budgetary accountability by introducing a charter of budget honesty that requires publishing of up-to-date estimates of budgetary outlays and revenue at the beginning of each election campaign.
Howard did improve the accountability of ministers in Parliament's question time by extending the number of questions covered and by abolishing Paul Keating's practice of not attending every question time.
But in its eight years the Government has been plagued by accountability scandals when ministers and Howard himself have not been informed by their staff, public servants or the military about certain events - including that claims that asylum seekers threw their children overboard during the last election campaign were wrong. Military whistleblowers have been stomped on and many public servants believe the independence of the public service and the military has been compromised.
Although the Government produced an enormous $52 billion budget boost which included tax and family benefits, health and education policies, Howard did not detail his policies for encouraging women and older workers to remain in the workforce in his latest speech. This did not stop him pointing out Labor had not released its tax, health and education policies.
His attack was a little undermined, though, when on the day of Howard's speech Labor released a new detailed $212.4 million policy to give greater job opportunities and security to mature age workers. It was very detailed. Announcing the policy, Latham made the point: "Our plan will help address the challenges of an ageing population. It is a real intergenerational solution".
Howard only said he would be taking additional steps to reduce impediments to older workers and women to create home-based industries in the fourth term - in other words announcing the policy in the election campaign. The contrast was dramatic.
