Pack Comes Back, Nips Tulane 3-2
Aug. 24, 2012
RENO, Nev. – The University of Nevada volleyball team fought off two match points in the fourth game, coming back to defeat the Tulane Green Wave 3-2 and earn its first win of the season and as a member of the Mountain West.
The win in the first match of the Fairfield Inn North Baylor Classic moved Nevada to 1-0 and dropped Tulane to 0-1.
Tessa Lea'ea was strong for Nevada throughout the match, recording 18 kills to lead the Wolf Pack. The sophomore from Stockton, Calif. also led the charge defensively, recording two solo blocks and eight block assists.
The match was tightly contested throughout, with the first four games decided by two points. The first three ended 25-23. Tulane eked out the first, with Nevada rebounding in game two and the Green Wave continuing the see-saw match with a win in the third. The fourth went to Nevada on the strength of two late service aces by Janelle Batista. The senior middle blocker had five for the match and Nevada ended the match with 14 as a team.
The Pack ran out to a 7-3 lead in the fifth game en route to a 15-9 win.
Dana Holt commanded the offense for most of the day, leading the team with 36 assists. Lea'ea was one of three players with double-digit kills, as she was joined by Batista (10) and Grace Anxo (10).
Nevada will take on the host Baylor Bears on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. in its next action.

text: I was discussing this topic earlier with a friend, basically we were wondering how much the social networks contribute to spreading information about figure skating and how fans use them. Personally I don't friend skaters but I added some pages, most of the time their newest info doesn't reach my wall, so I began wondering how it works for other fans. Do you receive fresh skating info frequently via FB, Twitter or others, or do you still rely mostly on other sites (let's face it, mostly FSU ) to get your info? Is there a particular aspect of social networks that you dislike from a sport fan perspective?

The following are excerpts from a recent Daily Press (VA) article highlighting how students in Hampton Roads and Newport News are benefiting from No Child Left Behind's 21st Century Community Learning Centers program:
"Schools in Hampton and Newport News are using federal dollars to help raise the grades and improve the lives of low-income students and their families. ... Hampton schools got a portion of federal grant money from the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program last year to work after school with students struggling in certain Standards of Learning subjects."
"Tammie Johnson, 29, a single parent who enrolled two of her three children in the program at Lincoln Park Community Center in October, said it has made a big difference in their academic performance. ... 'It's a positive way to reinforce what the school is teaching,' Johnson said. 'I think it's an excellent program.'"
"Hampton City Schools received $277,296 through the 21st Century program. In addition to the sites now operating, the grant allows Hampton schools this fall to tutor about 500 students attending Bassette, Lee, Mallory, Wythe and Bryan elementary schools along with Lindsay Middle School. Passage Middle School in Newport News received $170,000, which it has used to offer after-school reading and math instruction to about 90 students since April 19. The grants are renewable for up to three years."
"The grant pays for hiring a school system educator to coordinate the academic aspects of after-school instruction, and two tutors for each school site."

A sea of pink will engulf downtown Tauranga tomorrow evening, when the city celebrates the 10th annual ASB Women's Walk for Breast Cancer.
Commonly known as ''the pink walk'', thousands of women all dressed in pink are expected to swarm through the streets of Tauranga in an event that celebrates life as well as early detection and awareness of breast cancer.
Iris Thomas, who has been organising the walk since 2002, said this year's event was set to be a great celebration to mark the 10th anniversary.
''The countdown is on and it's going to be one special event,'' she said.
''The weather is set to be great, it's forecast for sunshine and we're expecting, as usual, the last minute city rush.''
Each year more than 2000 people snake their way 4.5km through central Tauranga, and for the anniversary walk organisers are hoping for even more.
''Ticket sales have been a bit slow but I'm not concerned about it because people tend to just turn up on the day,'' she said.
''It's good to pre-register but people can still enter on the day and they can even do it during the event.''
Participants can buy the $5 entry ticket from Smiths Sports Shoes on the corner of Grey St and Elizabeth St in Tauranga or ASB Bank in Mid-City Mall.
Walkers can also head to Masonic Park on The Strand and enter there. All proceeds go to the Tauranga Breast Cancer Support Service.
The walk will see participants travel up Devonport Rd, along Third Avenue, down Cameron Rd, right into Brown St and down Willow St, past the police station construction site, before finishing on The Strand.
It kicks off at 6pm but live entertainment will begin about 5.15pm, so Ms Thomas advised revellers to get dressed in their costumes and come down after work.
''When it comes to costumes the bigger the better,'' she said.
''The judges are poised with their pencils to find the best costumes and there will be loads of prizes to give away too.''
The walk is traditionally for women only and its purpose is to raise awareness of breast cancer but Ms Thomas said organisers wouldn't turn away anyone.
''I just want to tell everyone to rock up, come along and give it a go. It's about celebrating life and generating awareness for breast cancer and it will be a fun time.''

Ask a Trooper: Parking lights and headlights revisited
Question: Not long ago, I read an article you wrote saying that drivers should have their headlights on all the time. I agree 100 percent. Why don't they make it a law? (And not just parking lights, I mean actual headlights — I can't stand seeing cars with just their parking lights on so I flash them). Anyway, making this a law would be easier on everybody.
Answer: Back around 1985, I sent my captain a memo regarding this very issue. In the memo, I asked if we could somehow get support for a bill mandating the use of headlights at all times. He agreed, and sent it on to our legislative supervisor. That person agreed, but when he brought it up, he was told by someone in the Legislature at that time that the manufacturers would soon be making their vehicles so the headlights would automatically turn on when you start the vehicle and we would be wasting our time supporting such a bill. Well, this is many years later, and you can see how far we are with this issue now.
If you want to be safer, drive with your headlights on at all times. There is no better time to start a very good habit. (I suggest not flashing your bright lights at anyone. That is how road rage incidents can start).

Belding begins preparation for football season opener
BELDING — Football season is officially under way now that the first full-team practices of the season are taking place.
Belding's football team had their first full-team practice Monday, and coach Joe Schwander was ready for his team to get going.
"We're really excited, the kids are excited," Schwander said before practice started. "It's like Christmas in August. We've spent the last seven months trying to get to this point, to get to where you have your team assembled, finalized and with all the camps and fundraising."
So now it's time to "have fun," according to Schwander.
"All the work is done in what you do during the winter and during the summer," he said. "Now it's go out there and put it all together."
The first three days of practice are without pads, mandated by rules of the Michigan High School Athletic Association. During those days, Schwander said he will be getting the team in shape and ready to go.
"I think you're trying to instill a work ethic in your kids if they don't already have it, which our guys, they already have," he said. "They work extremely hard. So you try to push tempo and conditioning and technique. You do a lot of technique stuff with blocking and tackling, you can install a lot of schemes. With us it's not much different than when we have pads on."
There is a lot of things that Schwander is doing different from this time last season. In fact, Schwander said "everything" is different.
"Last year at this time nobody knew anything," he said. "Now our starting point is farther ahead. Our kids know what's going on. And the kids that don't, like the sophomores that came up and didn't do as much on that level, our guys have done a great job in the summer coaching them up. They start learning on the fly faster. That's different from having to teach 60 kids the whole system from scratch."
The practices themselves are structured differently also, according to Schwander.
"We're doing different things to make sure that we're in shape," he said. "We have 30-some guys on our roster and all our guys will be playing all the time. We're trying to make practice more competitive, more fun and don't let the kids know we're conditioning them in the process. They're going to be so concerned about competing and getting after it. But by the end of practice the goal is to have them be tired and leave it all on the field."
Belding will open the season at home when they face the Greenville Yellow Jackets in the annual rivalry game at Rudness Field Aug. 29.

How women around the world are taking part in combating gender-based hate speech on Facebook
Sexist, gender-based violent speech is a norm today. Sign in, check your home page and somewhere on that or over the timeline you'll be linked to a page or a photo which only serves to demean the existence of woman. What's worse is finding some of your friends making jokes about it. But should that be a norm too? Finding your friends making rape and other gender-based jokes? No, it's NOT funny!

Thursday, December 1, 2011
In most situations when a team goes on a road trip and returns without a victory, the players and coaches are often disappointed and frustrated.
However, for the Baker University wrestling team, their trip to the Iowa City Duals was different.
The Wildcats lost their first three duals in school history Friday against NCAA Division I No. 1 University of Iowa, NCAA Division III No. 5 Cornell College and NJCAA No. 1 Iowa Central Community College.
"Obviously, we went up there to win as many matches as we could, and we struggled to win matches individually, but when I woke up (Saturday) morning, I thought about the group we took up there and the monumental task that was accomplished," head coach Jimmy May said. "Looking at it now, I couldn't be prouder of our kids."
BU began the day by taking on Iowa in Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
The Hawkeyes took control of the dual early by pinning the first three Wildcats to get out to an 18-0 lead, but then senior Jarell Price got the opportunity to prove himself as an All-American.
Price and Iowa's Jacob Ballweg were deadlocked in a 3-3 tie late in the third period until Price recorded a takedown with three seconds remaining to win 5-3 for BU's lone three points of the dual.
"I was just thinking that Baker athletics and all I stand for is that we wrestle anybody at any time, so I was like, I'm in this match so I might as well take him down and win it," Price said.
The Hawkeyes went on to win the dual 47-3, but May was pleased with his team's effort.
"For us to score points against the number one team in the nation was a great moment for us," May said.
The Wildcats then went up against the Tritons of Iowa Central, but the top-ranked junior college in the nation proved as an equally tough opponent. Iowa Central defeated BU 42-3 with junior Brandon Gebhardt coming away with a victory.
Baker closed out the day against Cornell, which proved to be the most successful dual of the day for the Wildcats. Price, junior Parker Owen and senior Dylan Berg won their matches to give the 'Cats their nine points in the 25-9 defeat.
"It was extremely exciting to be at the mecca of American wrestling and being underneath the big lights and getting your hand raised," Owen said. "It's something that a lot of people dream of doing, but not a lot of people ever accomplish."
Losing duals is not something the Wildcats have ever been accustomed to, but the experience of working out in Iowa's wrestling room and wrestling against some of the best teams in the nation in Carver-Hawkeye Arena was well worth it for the team.
"It was a great experience, not only for the kids, but for our coaches and our program and the school," May said.

text: Hey guys, I got in my truck last nigh, and the dome light just wouldn't go off. I think it usually shuts off in about 10 seconds or so and I waited and it never went off. I even pushed my dome light button and nothing happened. I turned my truck off and waited about a whole minute and it was still on. I eventually had to disconnect the wires from the light to get it to go off as it was getting so hot. I have no idea why its doing this. Any suggestions? I'd realllllllly prefer not to have to take it all the way back to my dealer (45 minute drive) for the fix.

****Paint Issues****
So ive washed my jeep a couple times now since the end of winter. since i have found numerous scratches along the side of the jeep and some rock chips on the hood. the scratches im hoping will be taken care of with the detail im going to get in the next week or so, but the rock chips wont be able to be fixed.
my question is... what is the best touch up paint available? ive heard of dr color chip and the normal touch up paint you can get from the dealer. has anyone used either?
Re: ****Paint Issues****
Dude Im in the same boat as you right now. But I have a black 05 WK so 2 more years of rock chips and other paint issues lol But I may just repaint my hood, I have a guy through my regular mechanic that works at the auto body dept of a Jeep Dealership who paints on the side at the dealership. If I remember right he said its possible he may do the hood for just $200-$250. If thats the case then I'm doing it! I also have a couple of rust spots on the inside of my lift gate and rear passenger door that will need to be attended to soon. But as far as touch-up paint from the dealership, its pretty damn good. I touched up a few areas and it came out really good. No experience with Dr Color Chip though but I've been tempted to try.
Re: ****Paint Issues****
yea i have not looked for quotes for painting the whole hood... but if i find its only around the $250 range i may do it next year. as for now i might just touch it up.
Re: ****Paint Issues****
BEST there is!
Re: ****Paint Issues****
Re: ****Paint Issues****
i have used the aerosol cans for painting some engine parts and touchup paint for my MOPAR badge in the front.
For the scratches, I think the paint pens work best. I ordered 3 pens for th scratches i will be fixing up in the upcoming week, basecoat,primer,clearcoat.
I can take some before and after pics for the scratches. Just need to find time lol
Re: ****Paint Issues****
lol i hear you!
so this touch up needs primer, paint and clear?
Re: ****Paint Issues****
yea shouldnt be too hard, they got some how to vids on its site.
you can prolly just use the basecoat if you really want to shortcut it. But do it right with the primer,paint and clear!
Re: ****Paint Issues****
sweet just ordered some! got the primer clear paint cleaning wipe and compound for after.
thanks man.

you mention that you guys build these motor's, that's weird cause i have seen the exact same motor with the exact same specs and exact same valve covers, everything, being sold by other performance shops.
i have nothing against skip white's performance shop as i have bought a few products online from them and they have been good quality and have been received in a very timely fashion.
you mention that these heads are strong performers, i disagree, they dont have good flow numbers at all. they dont flow any better than a set of RHS 180 pro actions and if you compair them to a set of RHS/DART/brodix/AFR... the list goes on heads with the same runner sizes you will really see where they are inferior. i've also heard that they are made with inferior metals/aluminum and that is why you can buy them online all day long for 649.99 (you get what you pay for).
i too know machinest who will use PC products, but only when given a very low budget or when dealing with someone who askes for them beacuse of their price, if you ask a machinest if they would build their own motor with them they will tell you NO!!!
one other thing is to use 210cc heads on a 383 with the hyd cam used and to make 440hp is all mismatched.

'How we were arrested for protesting against violence towards women'
On June 13, thirteen women activists were arrested in Kolkata for protesting against violence against women near Mamata's residence.
On June 13, thirteen women activists were arrested in Kolkata for protesting against violence against women near the residence of the West Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee. This is a first-person account of the day's events by one of them.
"Women and girls in our state are facing terrible violence and many have been killed but that does not galvanise the police and administration of West Bengal into action. Activists from a women's rights network, drawing attention to horrific violence against women, are seen as a threat to the Chief Minister's life and taken into police custody."
Maitree, a women's rights network of organisations and activists, took shape in Calcutta in 1995. Since then, Maitree has been working for women's rights issues - we organise meetings and marches, write letters, have discussions - do all those things that 'activists' do. The week before last, we were deeply upset and angry to learn that a young college student in Barasat had been raped by several men and killed. On June 10, 2013, a group of human rights activists, including representatives of Maitree had tried to meet the Chief Minister with a letter demanding action on violence against women in West Bengal and the rape and murder of the college student in Barasat. They were kept waiting for more than an hour but the Chief Minister did not meet them.
At a Maitree meeting on June 11, it was decided that a rally and gathering would be organised in Barasat on June 17 to protest against the murder of the college student and draw attention to violence against women in West Bengal. On June 12, we woke up to the news of the rape and murder of a 13-year-old schoolgirl in Nadia - killed on her way home from school. We decided that things were spinning out of control and we needed to meet the Chief Minister and speak to her about our worries, anguish and concern.
On June 13, activists began gathering near the new gate of the Kalighat temple from around 7.30 in the morning. By 8 am there were some 30-and-odd activists - persons of various age groups and genders - gathered there and we decided to try to meet the Chief Minister, who had come to power rallying around Ma, Mati, Manush (Mother, Land/ Earth and People), at the office in her residence. We crossed the road and reached the mouth of the road which you have to take to go to the CM's house. We were stopped by a contingent of police posted at the booth there and asked where we were going. We explained that we were shocked and upset by the killing of young girls in Barasat and Nadia and wanted to meet the Chief Minister. We had a letter to give her and also wanted to ask her how she was thinking of ensuring the freedom of movement of girls and women in West Bengal. After all, it did not augur well for the state if girls and women were killed on their way home from school and college, did it?
The police asked us whether we had an appointment. We said that we did not but we had come to meet the Chief Minister and surely she would give us an appointment.
"You must understand that what has happened is very serious. We are not here about a trifling matter. Surely when the Chief Minister hears that the manush of her state wish to speak to her, she will see us," said Kakali Bhattacharya.
The police asked us to move to the side of the road so that we did not obstruct traffic. We complied. Some stood facing the road with placards round their necks, some colleagues were singing, some were talking to passersby about violence against women and some were talking to the police.
"Is anyone among you prominent?" asked a policeman, much to our amusement. We wondered whether the presence of a 'prominent person' would have ensured an audience with the Chief Minister. The police said that the Chief Minister meets people after 9.30 am and they were trying to ensure that three or four representatives of our group could meet her. We were quite hopeful that we would be able to meet her. The Officer in Charge of the Kalighat police-station also came and spoke to some of people in our group.
Suddenly, around 8.30 am, I heard some policemen shouting, "Pick them up, pick them up!" I turned around to see what was going on and saw that Swapna was being dragged towards a police van by some policewomen. I ran up to hold Swapna back. As I was trying to prevent her from being bundled into the van, I felt many hands tugging and pulling at me.
"Didi, don't resist. Just get into the van," said a policewoman to me.
"But why are you shoving us into the van?" I asked.
Suddenly, I found myself sprawled on the floor of the police van. I managed to sit up and found that several other colleagues were already inside. The placard I had been wearing round my neck had been torn away. Kakali had somehow saved my glasses from being broken as the policewomen shoved me in. Finally, there were six of us from Maitree, in the van, Anuradha Kapoor, Kakali Bhattacharya, Swapna, Shyamoli Das, Ratnaboli Ray and myself, along with several police personnel. Very soon, the van was on its way.
"Where are we going?" we asked but we did not get an answer.
"The driver knows," we were told, after we asked a few times more.
I discovered my watch damaged in the melee, and Swapna said her arm was hurting badly. After a while, we were told that we were being taken to the lock-up in Lalbazar. Of course, we were not told why.
Once we reached Lalbazar, we were asked to deposit the placards we were carrying and also told that we would be kept on the first floor. We were not going to be put in cells but in the corridor. The cell doors were left open and we were shown our place in the corridor. We had been provided three pedestal fans. A large plastic jug of drinking water was brought in and a mug - the kind of mug we keep in our bathrooms.
"Aren't you going to give us glasses?" I asked.
"We have no provision for glasses," was the reply.
"But we can't drink from that bathroom mug."
So they brought us two bottles of water. They also told us that the water in the jug and the bottles was safe to drink.
Once the six of us were in the corridor, a bench was placed across the doorway and four young women, in plainclothes, positioned themselves on the bench facing us. They were Green Police, temporary workers or 'civic volunteers', recruited by the Kolkata Municipal Corporation, to assist the police.
The police did not lock us in but kept us guarded. We were also told that we might be released before noon, or in the afternoon, but we would not be kept overnight. We asked why we were there but got no answers. We had our mobile phones with us and so could talk to colleagues, friends and family.
No chairs were provided, so we spread the newspapers that we were carrying, settled down on the floor, and prepared to face what the rest of the day would bring. We were soon joined by more colleagues, who had been picked up as the protesters dispersed.
Needless to say, they had also asked why they were being taken in but got no answers. The group of six inside the lock up had become twelve - joined by Aditi Basu, Sudeshna Basu, Srija Chakrabarti, Sarmistha Datta Gupta, Shreya Ila Anasuya and Madhura Chakrabarti. Yes, we understood that we had really angered the powers that be but we were finding it hard to believe that a peaceful assembly had been broken up in the way it had and a dozen of us were in police custody. We kept asking why we were there but got no answers.
We were getting calls from friends and colleagues in the city - those who had been at the protest and those who had not. They were worried about those whom the police picked up as the group dispersed. There was relief all around when they heard that the rest were also with us in Lalbazar. We were making jokes and trying to keep our spirits up, but most of us were feeling very uneasy that we were picked up for protesting on a public road and that we were in custody and had no information regarding the reasons why we had been locked up.
In the meanwhile, Swapna's left arm was hurting. One of the young women, the Green Police, took her to get medical help. Our feelings of uneasiness increased when we heard that Abir had been picked up by the police and taken to Kalighat thana. There were a dozen of us together in the Central Lock Up in Lalbazar, but the thought of Abir alone in Kalighat police station was making us very uncomfortable indeed. However, Abir joined us soon after with a puzzling story of how she was being booked for a parking offence because she had parked her scooter in a no-parking zone but then a policeman pointed out that she had been part of THE protest and so was bundled off to Lalbazar. Swapna came back with her arm in a bandage and so there we were, a band of thirteen women wondering why gathering to raise concerns about violence against women in a democratic country would result in our arrest. Had we been arrested? This was a question we kept coming back to and getting no answers.
Ratnaboli got a call from a television crew that was waiting outside and we thought that we could go down and meet them. Swapna's visit to the doctor and the steady stream of new arrivals had somehow dislodged the bench that had been placed across the doorway. Ratna and I decided to go down to meet the TV folk and as we went down the stairs, one of our Green guards ran after us frantically. We were pretending that we owned the place and ran it but we did not, and could not meet the TV crew - they were not allowed in and we were not allowed out. We spoke to the TV journalist on the phone and explained that we did not know why we were there and whether there were any charges against us.
We were buoyed by the telephone calls and messages of support we were getting - many of us could even access Facebook, but a feeling of annoyance was building up. We heard that the Home Secretary had asked for another half an hour before they could explain why we were there. Then we were told that the Commissioner of Police was expected in his office around 11 am and we would know only after that.
We asked for mineral water because we wanted some interaction with the authorities. A policeman told us that the water they had provided was safe for drinking but if we insisted on mineral water, we would have to pay. We paid and someone was sent off to buy mineral water. Of course, all this took much to-ing and fro-ing but finally, several bottles of mineral water arrived.
A friend called and asked where we had been kept. I explained that we were not in cells but in a corridor with three pedestal fans. He asked whether we had drinking water and access to toilets. I told him that the cell doors had been left open and each cell, which could comfortably accommodate fifteen people, had an attached toilet. The toilets were spacious but had no doors. Imagine sharing a room with many people and then going into the attached bathroom and having to do everything without a modicum of privacy!
Tired of waiting for word from men in power like the Home Secretary or the Police Commissioner, we decided to seek information a little more actively. A few of us went downstairs and began asking why we were there. Some people met us with looks of complete incomprehension and suddenly someone said that we could meet the Investigating Officer of our case. And so, three or four fairly intimidating women marched into the room and got the first glimpse of Sub Inspector Manish Singh, our IO. He told us that our paperwork was being done - he would come upstairs to get our names - and we would be booked under Section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code. More than two hours after we had been in custody we got some idea of why we were there!
Section 151 in The Code Of Criminal Procedure, 1973, says
151. Arrest to prevent the commission of cognizable offences.
(1) A police officer knowing of a design to commit any cognizable offence may arrest, without orders from a Magistrate and without a warrant, the person so designing, if it appears to such officer that the commission of the offence cannot be otherwise prevented.
(2) No person arrested under sub- section (1) shall be detained in custody for a period exceeding twenty- four hours from the time of his arrest unless his further detention is required or authorised under any other provisions of this Code or of any other law for the time being in force.
What was the offence we could have committed? We had said very clearly that we wanted to give a letter to the Chief Minister. Is that an offence in our democracy? Is expressing anger, anguish and concern for rapes and murders an offence? Is singing songs on the road an offence?
The IO came with a sheaf of papers to inform us of the charges against us and to get our 'particulars'. As you know, in India, in all official documents, a woman has to say that she is the daughter of (son in the case of a man) or wife of so and so. So as soon as we were asked to provide our father's/husband's names the IO got an earful about the patriarchal mindset of the Indian state.
It was almost twelve noon and none of us had had anything to eat since leaving home early in the morning. Sarmistha started feeling quite faint and we were also getting hungry. We asked for food and requested that Sarmistha urgently be given something to eat. The bald constable (henceforth PC), who had been quite visible in our early hours in the lock up, made an appearance:
PC: "I hear you're asking for food. See, it's your fault that you are hungry."
Me: "Fault?"
PC: "Yes, we'd offered you tea and biscuits soon after you came and one of you said that you didn't want any."
Me: "One of our colleagues is feeling faint. We're hungry, so please hurry up."
I bit my tongue and did not ask why the tea had not been sent anyway.
PC came back after a bit and asked whether we wanted samosas and sweets or some rice, one chapati and vegetables. We wanted samosas and sweets, we replied with a straight face.
This was followed by two people from a tea shop bringing us tea and biscuits. We were hungry, irritable and worried because we still had no idea when we were likely to be released. The man with the tea kettle heard our discussions and advised us to ask the police for information. "If you don't ask they may keep you here till eight or nine in the evening," he said.
So we went downstairs again to meet our IO. He and a woman colleague told us that they were filling up our arrest memos and yes, we would be released soon. Anuradha asked why we were not being given an unconditional release but the IO and his colleague said that it was CrPC 151 for us. My phone was running out of charge and I had already asked our Green Police guards if they could get me a Nokia charger. They had said no. However, downstairs, I repeated my request. A young man in plainclothes took out a Nokia charger from his backpack, asked for my phone and put it on charge.
"You are young people, learn," said Ratnaboli to the Green Police, as I thanked the young man.
That morning, while many of us were being bundled into police vans and then driven to Lalbazar, we had tried talking to the policewomen. We had asked them why they were picking up women campaigners who were asking for freedom and safety for women. Did they not think that we need to raise our voices to protest violence against women and girls? One of them said that they were in agreement with what we were saying and doing but they had to pick us up because they had been ordered to do so. We had tried talking to the Green Police but had been met by absolute incomprehension.
The clock was ticking away. We had no clear idea of when we would be released, whether we would be released from Lalbazar or if we would be taken to court. In the meanwhile, our IO was summoned by his seniors and he left. We began talking to the other men and women in the room - asking them why we had been arrested. We were asking the state administration to ensure safety for women. Why was it wrong to protest against violence against women? Did they not think that they should join us in our struggle?
One of the policemen said that people did not understand the difficulties the police faced. No one cared if policemen were killed as they worked to protect people. We replied that more often than not the police appeared to be working against the people than for them.
We went upstairs to rejoin our colleagues and partake of the samosas and sweets - we were allocated one of each. We also heard that the Commissioner of Police was holding a Press Conference. Very soon we began getting phone calls and text messages saying that people had heard that we had been released. No, we had not been released. We were still inside the lock-up.
Since the world outside had heard that we had been released but we had not, some of us went downstairs again. Sarmistha had begun a discussion with the police there about how they managed to work in an office with no windows, day in and day out.
Finally, it appeared that the IO had our arrest memos ready. We gathered up our things and went downstairs. During this daylong wait, some colleagues had spread out newspapers and taken naps. They were woken up and given news of our soon- to-be-release. We signed our arrest memos, took copies, our placards were returned to us and we were ready to leave, but then were met with a locked gate and an unsmiling policeman. He told us that he had not yet received orders to unlock the gate and let us out!
Were we angry? Yes! What did we do? We sang "Ora amader gaan gaite dey na, shilpi songrami Paul Robeson, ora bhoy peyechhe amader" (O Paul Robeson, revolutionary artist, they don't let us sing our songs, they are afraid of us.) I was musing about the hundreds of thousands of times this song must have been sung in the Lalbazar lock up by political prisoners of different hues. The order for opening the doors finally arrived and we were let out through a side entrance, and we left singing "Amar protibaader bhasha, amar protirodher aagun digun jole jeno" (Let my language of protest, my fire of resistance, burn doubly bright).
We were greeted outside by colleagues, friends and mediapersons. A young TV journalist showed me the statement made by the Commissioner of Police, Kolkata, where he said that we had been asked to disperse but we had not listened to them and so the police had been compelled to arrest us because they feared for the Chief Minister's life! Of course, the Commissioner had overlooked the fact that we had not been asked to disperse. Women and girls in our state are facing terrible violence and many have been killed but that does not galvanise the police and administration of West Bengal into action. Activists from a women's rights network, drawing attention to horrific violence against women, are seen as a threat to the Chief Minister's life and taken into police custody.
Is this how democracy works in India? The people of West Bengal had voted Mamata Banerjee in believing that she understood the problems and aspirations of ordinary people and was willing to listen to them. The Chief Minister, it appears, no longer thinks it necessary to listen to voices of the people. She has been quick to condemn women, as we saw during the Park Street rape but she has yet to do anything to let the women of West Bengal know that she and the government are committed to ensuring women's freedom and their right to life and liberty, both within their homes and outside.

Gartner could regain its upward trend after having run out of steam.
From a fundamental viewpoint, the security has many qualities. According to Thomson Reuters, sales are expected to increase by almost 40% by 2015, and the net margin by 70%.
Graphically, buyer flows are reduced. But prices have just bounced on the USD 48.5 short term support and are supported by the 50-day moving average. In weekly data, the configuration is bullish as shown by increasing moving averages. In consequence, the stock could comeback to the USD 52.8 resistance.
Investors could take a buy order at the current price. The objective will be set at the USD 52.8 resistance. A stop loss must be placed below the USD 48.5 short term support, threshold which would invalidate this strategy.

Telephone survey response rates are on a precipitous decline, although telephone surveys that include landlines and cell phones and are weighted to match the demographic composition of the population continue to provide accurate data along most measures, finds the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press in a May 2012 report. Looking at contact rates over time (the percent of households in which an adult was reached), the study shows a drop from 90% in 1997 to just 62% this year. And when factoring in a declining cooperation rate (percent of households contacted that yielded an interview), the report finds the response rate (percent of households sampled that yielded an interview) this year to be just 9%, down from 36% in 1997 and 25% in 2000.
The study was based on 2 new telephone surveys conducted by the research center. One was conducted January 4-8, 2012, among 1,057 adults using Pew Research's standard methodology, achieving an overall response rate of 9%. The other, conducted January 5 to March 15, among 2,226 adults, used a longer field period as well as other efforts to increase participation, achieving a 22% response rate. The survey questions were compared with similar or identical benchmark questions asked in large federal government surveys that achieve response rates of 75% or higher and therefore have minimal non-response bias.
Comparing the standard Pew survey with the US government survey shows the standard survey to be generally representative of most politically-relevant facets of the population, including the proportion of respondents who are married, have children in the household, are internet users, and are registered to vote. The only areas in which the standard survey significantly overstated the proportion of respondents were for contacting a public official in the past year, and volunteering for an organization in the past year. However, over-representing volunteers was found to have little effect on survey estimates.
Not only did the standard Pew survey compare well with the larger US government survey, it also fared well when compared with the high-effort survey that yielded a 22% response rate. In fact, 28 of the 40 comparisons yielded differences of 2% points or less, while there were 3% point differences on 7 items and 4% point differences on the remaining 5 items.

Fodor's Go List: Top 21 Places to Go in 2012

Dine like a local and save money by trying a burek in Croatia.
This local take on the sandwich is a local delicacy. Although Zagreb is not exactly overflowing with budget sandwich shops, traditional bakeries have long fulfilled that role for locals.
Drink like a local in Croatia---raise a glass of rakija!
Get two Croatians together, and somebody's bound to introduce this distilled herbal or fruit spirit that makes up an important part of Croatian culture
Croatia and Slovenia: Bring the kids and some extra patience
Travel in Slovenia and Croatia is generally safe for families—you'll find playgrounds in nearly every city—but there isn't a lot of special attention paid to the needs of children otherwise. It's hit or miss as to whether you'll find a high chair in a restaurant, and very few have child-specific menus.
Croatia: Budget for a burek
This local take on the sandwich is a must-eat. Although Zagreb is not exactly overflowing with budget sandwich shops, traditional bakeries have long fulfilled that role for locals. At such places, which are on practically every street corner, you can pick up a burek for as little as 10 Kn a piece.
Croatia Itinerary: Split to Dubrovnik
On the eastern coast of the Adriatic sea, a renaissance in tourism to Croatia is underway. Though a very popular destination for Europeans for over 40 years, Croatia is only now coming into its own for Americans, when—finally—gleaming new cities have been rebuilt out of the wreckage of the civil war of the mid-1990s. When cruise ships first returned to Split and Dubrovnik in the late 1990s, cruise passengers might have seen bombed-out buildings on their way to the beach. But the pace of infrastructure repair caught up with skyrocketing tourism, and since 2001, Croatia has come onto travelers' radar in a big way. Now it is a major summer destination for hundreds of thousands of Americans. Most people planning a trip will go to Split, Dubrovnik, or one of the beautiful islands in between. There are many ways to travel, of course, and our forums are full of suggestions: Is 8 days too short?, Itinerary & Lodging help, and Favorite Islands? are just a few recent examples. Fo

7 Best Dog Breeds for Meeting New People
Move over grocery stores, dog parks are the new "go to" place to meet people these days. Dogs, in general, are matchmakers and certainly ambassadors to introducing us to folks we might not ever have known.
There are, however, breeds that go the extra wag when it comes to meeting new people. Although all dogs are conversation starters, whether by their sheer size, appearance, temperament, or a behavior, here are seven canine standouts. Next time you take a stroll to the park, see how many new people you meet with one of these dogs by your side:
Great Dane: Gentle, easy going, loving, and oh so huge in stature, we double dog dare you to take a Great Dane out in public and not meet someone. According to the American Kennel Club, this statuesque pooch is often labeled the "king of dogs," with a personality that beckons complete strangers to turn into cuddly softies.
Cocker Spaniel: As a lifelong Cocker Spaniel mom, I would be remiss in not mentioning this Wigglebutt breed as a people greeter. In general, the Cocker Spaniel has a merry temperament, with many of them probably politicians in a previous life. They love smooching babies and shaking paws with strangers.
Muttigree: How many times have you asked a complete stranger "what kind of dog is that?" Often times, the cutest and most approachable dogs are a mix of this, that, and something else. The All-American Mutt is definitely an ice breaker. If you know the breeds that comprise your dog's DNA, see if a stranger can guess the next time around. It makes for great conversation and opens the doggie door to whatever comes next.

PBGV: The shortcut acronym is a conversation starter, but this mighty dog in a small package is a meeter-greeter to the max. The PBGV is short in stature but long on personality, as the Petit Basset Griffon Vendeen, is part of the Hound group. He is a happy, extroverted, confident pooch that takes to people well and makes breaking the ice that much easier.

Greyhound: There is something stately, regal, and oh-so-approachable when a Greyhound makes his way down the street or glides smoothly across the dog park. Greyhounds are generally loving, kind, friendly, and a highly approachable and admired breed. Most Greyhounds are rescued from the track, so strangers often want to get to know them better.

Pug: Pug lovers, unite: We see you out there, with your portly cuteness and little engine that could attitude. That huge personality in a stout package is part of the Pug's charm and approachable aura. Playful, friendly, and intelligent, this member of the Toy group is a great icebreaker in public.

Golden Retriever: A great friend to children and a wonderful family dog, the Golden Retriever might simply be the poster child for socializing. It's great popularity means more than likely someone in your group of friends or family has one (or more). Their easy-going and "love me" nature make them the consummate breed to meet new people.
Do you have a dog that tends to "introduce" you to new people? Let us know in the comments below.

Because True Detective is competing in the drama category, Noah Hawley's Fargo has a fighting chance to nab some Emmys in the miniseries category (and like True Detective, Fargo was written entirely by one person). It'll face stiff competition from Sherlock, a funny, self-aware show that also stars Martin Freeman, and the two shows seem like an apt odd couple to compete for the same statues.
Freely adapted from the Coen brothers' classic, Oscar-winning 1996 film, Hawley's series takes great joy in flirting with the Coens' films while still venturing into uncharted territory. The main characters, initially, are Freeman's neurotic, hen-pecked real estate loser Lester Nygaard, whose Coen brothers analogue is William H. Macy's car salesman Jerry Lundegaard, and Bill Bob Thornton's sinister, mysterious Lorne Malvo. Whereas Macy's Jerry is a despicable cretin, he's also a borderline idiot, as are so many Coen brothers characters.
Freeman's Lester is a creep from the beginning, albeit one that feels emasculated. But as the show goes on, he makes himself feel empowered through the suffering of others (he staples a teenage boy's neck, has violent sex with his dead enemy's wife while glaring victoriously at her family photo, and sends his second wife to her death so he can get away). He's irredeemable, even though we, the viewers, hold on to that last lingering hope that he will ultimately be a good guy — like we did with Tony Soprano and with Walter White.
Malvo has no analog equivalent in the Coen's movie, but he's also the most Coen-esque character, oddly. Toward the beginning of the series, Thornton seems to be on a different wavelength than the rest of the cast. As Hawley and his hired-gun directors are consciously uncoupling from the Coen brothers' classic, the character gradually moving away from the ironic, cryptic whimsy that marks a Coen brothers film, Thornton smirks with the knowing, conspiratorial look of a man with a plan: a schemer. He is, after all, the guy who had a half-naked man stuffed in the trunk of his sedan, the guy who seems to get off to violence.
Well, no, that's not really true: He doesn't seem to enjoy the violence as much as he finds its fascinating, like an inquisitive higher being causing ripples in the pool of humanity and examining the repercussions. He's at once alien and leaden, a hum-drum psychopath. Like Hannibal Lecter, he plays God; unlike Hannibal Lecter, who has exquisitely refined taste and lofty social standing, Malvo seems to exist solely to cause trouble.
As the series goes on, Malvo's quirky likability dissipates, and he becomes an outright monster that makes Heisenberg look like Mr. Rogers.

need help on computer, i'm fairly new to the computer & when I veiw the plans to build, on this site the numbers is blurrer,even when I enlarge it.I still cannot read it.(observation hive).please can anyone help?
need help on computer, i'm fairly new to the computer & when I veiw the plans to build, on this site the numbers is blurrer,even when I enlarge it.I still cannot read it.(observation hive).please can anyone help?
Do you have a printer? I would print them if you do.
Mark, press the download PDF file button and they will come up in full page size. From there you can print them.
I've printed them & down loaded, but it is still blurry,? every thing else on my computer is real clear.It's like the outside edge is jagged? & no way to read the numbers on the measurement's.anyone else got any idea. sure would like to get it fixed. also anymore plan's on any thing that I can try to see if another web page is the same.( don't care what it is (bird house's or anything ).my computer is still under warranty, did'nt know if it's something I can do before I call them.Thank's for any help I can get
I think Bill hit it when he said you have to display the PDF. I'm guessing you're on the page before that.
I did press PDF,but it's still blurry,also Michael what do you mean the page before.(told you I was dumb).l.o.l.
Displaay what yoiu want to print and then go to File and then to Print Preview. From there you should be able to step forward and Backwards to find what you want to print. Hope this helps, Dale
From www.beesource.com you click on "Plans...Built It!". From this screen you click on what you want to build, say "10 Frame Langstroth Beehive". Now you have a screen with a thumbnail (very small picture) of the document you want to see. This is what I mean by the page before the actual document. Now you click on "Download PDF File". If you have the PDF add in (Adobe Acrobat Reader) then you will see a plan displayed on the screen. If you do not then on the "Plans" screen you can click on the yellow box that says "Get Acrobat" and download it.
Once you have the plans displayed, you can zoom in and out by using the "+" or "-" buttons that are on each side of the percent displayed on the tool bar for the PDF (a row of icons above the document). If you click the "+" it will get larger or "-" it will get smaller. This will let you zoom in on the document to see it better on the screen. The second tool on the tool bar (for the pdf) should be a picture of a printer (right after a picture of a disk). If you click on this what is called a "print dialog box" will pop up. It will have "Print" in the upper left corner of the title bar and below that the printer name and below that the rest of the options for printing. How detailed it will look from here if you click "OK" will depend on these settings and what your printer can print for resolution, but I would expect it to be readable unless there is something wrong with your printer or the resolution of your printer is far below what is normal in the market right now.

thank's for all the reply's. I've tryed them & It's still blur.There is a kid next door that is a computer whiz.I'm going to get her over this afternoon & maybe show me what I'm doing wrong If anything,but I thank all of you for your trying to help me.
My guess is that you have some kind of ink jet printer that is not that high of a resolution combined with a paper that is too absorbent and possibly a bad ink cartridge.
No Michael it even look's blur on my computer screen,before I even try to print it.
P.S. I can go to print preview & inlarge it & it's still blur.
If you would like, I could get it printed up and snail mail it to ya... it would be no problem.
thank's very much greysmoke,& also thank's to you honeyhouse>>>>> Mark
Hi Mark, sorry to see that you are having so much trouble. Do you know what size monitor you have and what the screen resolution is set at? If you have a 17" monitor or larger your screen resolution should be set at 1024 X 768 or larger. Some people who have trouble seeing can set it lower. I am assuming that you are using IE with the free adobe reader for pdf files. After clicking on the download pdf file, you should see the file in the adobe reader plugin program. At the bottom of the screen you should see a number like 57%, just to the right is a down arrow. When you click on that you should see a lot of sizes, and at the bottom you will see (fit in window)if you have a check mark by (fit in window) you could get fuzzy letters. Try (actual size), or (fit to width). About printing the file. This is harder, as there are so many printers. I have a hp 840 printer, when I click the printer button, a control panel pops up. On mine I have a check mark in (fit to page), and I get a readable print.
well, when i started reading, it sounded like it might be a problem with your graphics card but, what browser are you using? Could be a problem with that. What about asking one of us to download it for you, possibly transfer it to a different program other than adobe and send it over email. That might work as well as snail mail and sure would be a lot faster.
Thank everyone for your help,I got my computer fixed so now I can read the plan's & print them. It was a combination of me being dumb mostly,well now I'll have to go & get more lumber & saw blade's, thank's again very much>>>>>>> Mark
Hi Mark,
I am just a beginner and have built my own supers etc. It all began with "..You can't build anything like that....." Well I did.
With this I have learned a lot and still am.
One of the things I learned is that I did not like the Box Joints on some old supers and the fact that my table saw will not accept a dado blade. Well, I went to dovetail joints and like them so much more. They are all glued with exterior glue and so far are holding very well. Also there is no rust from the nails. All it takes is a good router, a dovetail jig (from Sears) and a double bladed dovetail bit. The materials I use is mostly 1x12x8' that Lowe's has here for about $7. I get a lot of materials from them by selecting my cuts and avoiding the bad parts. Hope that helps. Let us know what happens. Alex in Kentucky

BMA comes of age
24 March 2013 , 1:28 PM by Katie Lalor
This year Canberra's street magazine BMA turns 21 and to celebrate the Canberra Contemporary Art Space has been turned into an "obsessive BMA fan's bedroom" with magazine ephemera, posters and flyers from yesteryear. "I often found that whenever I needed go back into an old issue of BMA to find anything ... I could end up losing half a day if I wasn't careful," BMA publisher Allan Sko told Melanie Tait on Canberraphile, "I just realised how many memories and documented instances of exciting things whether they were bands or shows or what not came pouring back ... And I thought it'd be nice to showcase all the issues that we have." Have a listen to the interview to find out more about the history of BMA including what the name stands for ... p>

Is it a mistake to order fish at a barbecue joint? According to a recent Chowhound discussion thread, not at SoulFire in Allston. The fried catfish is the best that jira's ever had, with a thin, crisp coating and zero muddy flavor. Nab agrees, citing "a minor fried fish epiphany" following a recent visit. After jira's party told the server how much they liked the fish, she acknowledged that it's not ordered very often, but clearly someone in the kitchen knows what they're doing with a deep-fryer. That includes the fried mac and cheese, which jira reports had "the thinnest of coating." And Nab and jira both think SoulFire's coleslaw, potato salad, and chili are all winners. Only thing that might need improving: the lack of air conditioning.

Arata Fujiwara Quits JR Team to Go Independent
translated and edited by Brett Larner
Arata Fujiwara, 28, the runner-up at February's Tokyo Marathon and a member of last summer's World Championships marathon squad, quit his position and job with the JR Higashi Nihon jitsugyodan corporate team on March 31. As of April 1 Fujiwara is no longer part of the jitsugyodan system and will instead pursue his hopes of a successful running career as an independent. Athletes such as 400 m hurdler Dai Tamesue (APF) train and compete without a coach or team, but in the distance running world it is an unheard-of move for a competitive athlete to go independent.
According to JR East Japan head coach Tetsuji Iwase, Fujiwara is very strongly motivated to pursue his own route to the London Olympics. "Over the last six months we tried to persuade him to stay, but he told us, ' It has been my dream to try to do it this way since I was a high school student,'" said Iwase. "His mind was made up."
Born in Nagasaki and a graduate of Isahaya High School and Takushoku University before joining the jitsugyodan system at JR Higashi Nihon, Fujiwara ran 2:08:40 to finish 2nd at the 2008 Tokyo Marathon, earning a spot as the alternate on the Beijing Olympics team.
Translator's note: This is big news. As far as we are aware, Fujiwara is the first Japanese man ever to make this kind of move at the peak of his marathoning career. To the best of our knowledge Naoko Takahashi, the Sydney Olympics marathon gold medalist and the first woman ever to break 2:20, is the only precedent in Japanese women's marathoning for a runner going independent. Team Shiseido head coach Manabu Kawagoe left with four of his top women in 2007 to form the Second Wind club team. In his extensive, exclusive two-part interview with JRN published in the February and March issues of JRNPremium, Fujiwara talked about his hopes for the future post-March 31.

Interesting news, Brett. Just curious, though... I'm assuming he "went pro"???
In the past, Japanese athletes (and coaches) had changed the team, which is rare anyways. Famous ones would be Hayata (forgot his first name now) who hopped around the team and someone even wrote a book on it--"The Man Who Was Too Fast". A very interesting read.
When Masako Chiba, as the bronze medalist in the World Championships 10000m, quit Asahi-Kasei, it made a bit news. She was independent (not so much as a pro) for a while until she went to Koide-san.
To be honest with you, I don't have too good of a feeling about this move, unfortunately (assuming he did go pro). He is probably 2 minutes too slow to go pro.
First Japanese athlete to have "gone pro" was actually Yuko Arimori, not Takahashi.

I think one of his main motivations was wanting to race overseas more and not liking being limited by the East Japan Jitsgyodan Ekiden in early Nov. He believes he is capable of a much faster time.

- Nobby said...
...Or a bigger pay check? ;o)
I actually had a chat with Yuko Arimori on this very topic; pros and cons of corporate team environment. In her case, with 2 Olympic medals, she was "wanted" enough. But I think, with "only" 2:08 and no medal around his neck, it might be a little difficult... Sure, faster times might be possible for just about anybody. Yuko said, however, in her case when she tried to run NY; "I had to pay my own way to NY to do course checking and everything..." That would help in order to attempt faster times but would he afford to do that on his own? As you know, Q-chan did that over Sydney course like 4 or 5 times!

From talking to Fujiwara last month I have the impression that he has something he wants to accomplish beyond just getting more money. I'm very interested to see how he pursues it.

text: I think I finally got dress shoes that are not too big. But, how snug shoudl they be? The shoes I have (AE Sanford) are a 10D [I got fitted and was told I can take a 10 or 10.5 and my foot is in between a C and D). They seem to fit snug, which I think is OK, but they are very snug (I think "tight" is too strong of a word) in the toe box, especially if I walk. Oddly enough, the tightness of how I lace the shoes does not impact the toe box fit any. Is the toe box suppoed to be rather snug? I am not getting blisters or anything of the sort like that and when I put my feet in initially, they seem to have plenty of room, and the snugness is really only pronounced when I walk. When I feel how far my toes hit, I have plenty of clearance, but on the sides of my smaller toes there seems to be less room, which I find kind of strange since I am barely a D in width. Coming from wearing things too big (dress shirts and shoes) and getting used to more fitting dress shirts, I am not sure if this is how a shoe should feel or if it is too tight. I absolutely do not like shoes too big, but don't want them too small obviously. it feels most snug in the toes on TOP of my sides. Basically, if my feet grow by about a centimeter, I will think that my shoes are too small. Right now, they seem to fit perfect when I am not walking and seem to be snug when I walk, but not painful, it just feels like there is not extra room and that putting on say a thick sock over it will make the shoe too small. AE graciously said since this is my first time ordering shoes, I can return them even though I wore them for one day outside. However, I do have some personal concerns about returning stuff like that, I absolutely love the color of the shoe and the style, the "problem" might simply be that I never had properly fitted dress shoes before, and perhaps some break in is needed. On the other hand, I need shoes that properly fit. If my shoes were indeed too small, how would I know? Does this sound like the shoes are too small or just that I need to get used to them or that they will expand ever so slightly during the berak in period. The other two 10D AEs I got fit fine...one Italian loafer I got was actually too BIG but a tounge pad fixed that issue and the McTavish seem to fit looser than the Sanfords. any thoughts? and, thanks. I have been getting compliments about what I wear now, and that feels good

This is how the card looks like when powered on in our test
bed. The fan and the XFX emblem emits a rather faint but cool yellow light.
This is a close up of the fan with the lights off.
This is how the XFX emblem on the anti-warp bar looks like
when lighted up at night. It's a pretty cool sight and great for people wanting to
show off their new XFX card. Great for case modders and LAN Party goers!
The packaged bundle together with this card, is similar to the
one we saw in our previous XFX GeForce 7800GT we've reviewed a while ago. The
packaged bundle items are packed in a lime green box, stuffed right behind the
card in the "X" box. For more details on the standard version of XFX's 7800GT,
please take a look at our previous review
The bundled items are all in this rather slim lime green box.
The packaged items include: 2x DVI to VGA converter, S-Video
In cable, S-Video out cable, 4pin Molex to 6pin PCIe Power connector, VIVO
Games titles include: Far Cry, X2 – The Threat, and Moto GP. Of course, the standard Driver disc.
Yes, this card is available right now in US and Singapore.
