The state rural development and PHE minister Subrata Mukherjee and state finance minister Amit Mitra both criticised the Centre for depriving the state of funds. "We have sent a report to the Centre that the state is not getting funds. The Centre is constitutionally bound to provide money for development of the state," Mukherjee told reporters at the state secretariat here.
Mukherjee said his department had sought Rs 1200 crore from the Centre under the MNREGA scheme, adding only Rs 100 crore was provided. Similarly, the state was lacking funds for constructing rural roads under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY) due to which, contractors could not be paid.
"What we demand is our right and not seeking any dole. If needed, we will have to take the path of confrontation and we are also planning to meet Union Finance Minister P Chidambaram and Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh," he said.
Mitra said as per the Finance Commission's formula of funds devolution, the state was supposed to get Rs 1804 crore, but got only Rs 1379 crore. "We are not aware why Rs 425 crore has not been deposited in the state's exchequer," he said. Mitra said during the Left Front rule, the state was receiving Rs 800 crore as CST compensation. "But in the past two years, we are getting Rs 600 crore only," he added.

When asked about female priests, Pope Francis referred to a declaration by St. John Paul II: 'The exclusion of women from the priesthood is in accordance with God's plan '
Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, a philosophy professor is said to have exchanged letters with Pope John Paul II during a four-year period
I would not be a priest were it not for the witness and teaching of the Polish pope.
John Paul visited his attacker in a Rome prison exactly 31 years ago, on Dec. 27, 1983,. He later intervened to gain Agca's release in 2000
During the ceremony, relics of the new saints — John Paul's blood and a piece of John XXIII's skin taken after his body was exhumed — were brought to the altar
John Paul the Great offered one set of answers. Good Pope John offered another. On Sunday, both will be offered to the Church and the world
Floribeth Mora Diaz was on pain medication and lying in bed clutching a magazine with a front cover photograph of the former Polish pontiff, when he purportedly appeared before her in a vision
Dziwisz, now a cardinal, said that he "did not have the courage" to destroy the notes and is having them published as a book in Poland
Police are searching an Italian mountain area beloved by Pope John Paul II for a stolen relic bearing his blood
The Church, like the prophets of old, is often not popular when proclaiming God's word, which always challenges the errors of the time

I was asked to speak on a panel about offence and free speech post Charlie Hebdo. I always quite like the idea of speaking at some serious discussion, but in practice I just make everybody uncomfortable and they all smile at me uneasily in the way a posh café owner does when builders come in to buy rolls.
And yet current attitudes in Britain to offence and free speech certainly mean that I've got a lot of fucking time on my hands, so I thought I'd take a break from building matchstick cathedrals and learning the harpsichord to share my thoughts.
I find it incredibly worrying that we no longer need to hear the actual content of the thing we're told to be offended by. We hear of people being arrested for tweets without the tweet being reported; comics are blasted for routines that aren't printed; newspapers hire lip-readers to find something to get offended by at the tennis and then print the resulting fuckfest as asterisks. And who decides whether we should be outraged at something we haven't seen or heard? The press. Our seething collective id. None of us would trust a journalist to hold our pint while we went to the bathroom, yet we allow them to be ethical arbiters for the entire culture.
I don't read newspapers anymore — I just lie to myself and cut out the middleman, but I think it's important to note that the press themselves are not actually outraged by what they report on as being offensive. No tabloid journo — whose life is invariably a shattered kaleidoscope of prostitutes, gambling, cocaine, self-loathing, literally going through a strangers bins, erectile dysfunction and cocaine — is genuinely offended when some students dress up as the Twin Towers for Halloween.
Outrage just makes good copy. It's easier to write, and simpler to understand. A tabloid hack knows that their average reader can barely read and they're not going to try to communicate anything like ennui in the vocabulary of a ten year old.
Offence is often simply an attempt to deny reality. Avant-garde film makers get attacked for saying things that are avant-garde; comedians get attacked for making jokes and footballers get attacked for being stupid. Nowadays offence is taken symbolically. It even gets translated into symbolic terms. Imagine if I did a joke along the lines of...
"The thing about that paedophile ring at Westminster is that they weren't even the worst MPs. There were people in Parliament who were to the right of MPs that STRANGLED KIDS. And they actually did more harm than paedophiles. I mean, the nonces tried to do harm in their own little way, but Thatcher fucked ALL the kids."
Not my finest work, but it doesn't matter because if it started a shitstorm, the joke itself wouldn't be printed. I would be in trouble because I'd joked about abused children or made a sick joke about a dead pensioner. The joke itself would be translated into these terms so as to maximise offence and minimise its message. I would be adjudged to have transgressed on a symbolic level, like some gibbering 13th Century Heretic.
Also, a lot of people would form an opinion about the joke without having heard it. It's a feature of late capitalism that we get a lot of information thrown at us, and we have to make snap decisions and form strong opinions without really knowing anything. Sure, if our football club buys a new centre half we might do a bit of research. But often we're just being asked if we should bomb Syria or not, and we're busy, and we just have to say fuck it, yeah, my mate Gavin's in the army, so yeah.
It's important not to confuse social progress with increasing homogenisation. What appalls me is not teenagers trolling celebrities. Going on Twitter and telling Danny Dyer you think he's a cunt seems fine to me. Even — to be completely honest — even drunkenly tweeting him you're going to run over his legs with a truck — is actually what I see as the sort of thing a normal, healthy teenager might be up to. It's the ones who have gravitated towards accepting our increasingly formal culture that I worry about.
Teenagers were allowed to vote at 16 in the Independence Referendum. They did a kind of Question Time at the Glasgow Hydro and the kids all turned up looking smart and asked Nicola Sturgeon and George Galloway some interesting questions. I was disgusted. If you're 16 you shouldn't be asking George Galloway a polite question about currency union, you should be at home writing a song about how you want to take a shit in George Galloway's mouth.
Anyone offended by that should note that even on a good day I only really half agree with myself. So why did I write it, if it might offend you? Because it's worth saying, even though it's not entirely correct, and I don't really give a fuck about you, someone who might find a group of words in the wrong order too much to bear.
The sheer range of opinion on this planet means you can't be inoffensive. It's something that can only really be aspired to within homogeneous groups or authoritarian societies. What would a completely inoffensive cartoon look like? Those little cartoons you used to see in Punch or Private Eye in a doctor's waiting room maybe? Always set in a doctor's office? Or showing two castaways on a desert island, or two eskimos by an igloo ice-fishing?
I can't ever remember seeing a cartoon doctor who was black, or female. Even though the actual doctor I was there to see was both. You didn't even get black people as castaways on what were obviously Caribbean islands. And of course to, say, a Canadian, a joke about two eskimos (they don't like being called that by the way) sitting by an igloo would set you apart as a bitterly committed racist with a hard-on of hate for indigenous people.
I'm not saying those old cartoons were ok: I'm saying we don't always recognise our own prejudices. Our individual maps of what is offensive and what is worthwhile are often determined by social class. There was a piece in the New Statesman recently about Tim Minchin, breathlessly titled "The Satirist Who Ran Out of Upwards To Punch".
Now I love Tim's shows, but he'll probably have been surprised to find that he's the apotheosis of political comedy because "he wrote "The Pope Song", which called the pontiff a motherf***er more than 40 times " (their asterisks) and delivers " ... a nine-minute beat poem called "Storm", featuring a narrator at a north London dinner party getting increasingly angry with a tattooed hippie ... he berates her for her credulousness. The rant takes in psychics, homoeopathy, auras, star signs, spiritual healers and religious prophets."
You might have imagined that routines "punching up" against the big targets of the day would have to involve the international banking system; the arms industry; or even just the fact that the entire world is about to disappear screaming under boiling waves. To the well trained ear of the English middle-classes, an authentic target is more likely to be something like "star signs".
Something that you literally find on the same page of a newspaper as the cartoons. Perhaps the journalist actually understands better than me that real targets are off-limits, and is simply happy to see a routine socking it to the true enemy of The New Statesman reader, "the tattooed hippie".
To be fair, that article was simply guilty of the Endtimes hubris that affects us all: we have started to attribute to our personal tastes and preferences a kind of moral force. We all live in a war economy, that launders criminal money and sells arms. Are some of us really morally superior because we don't like Top Gear? If you're an activist trying to do something important, I salute you. Most of us just give ourselves ethical brownie points for watching Channel 2 instead of Channel 3, like characters in a broad dystopian satire.
Perhaps we're encouraged to see ourselves as embattled pockets of morality because that's how our country sees itself in the world. Rather than, say, a nuclear armed, money-laundering pirate ship, where all the ship's officers have been sent away from their families at a young age and deliberately driven insane through the medium of sodomy.
We hear a lot these days about jokes needing to have the right targets. I find it frankly suspicious that things like jokes, tweets and cartoons are asked to be increasingly socially responsible in societies that just happen to be run by controlling people who don't like to be laughed at. Naturally, the idea that corporate journalism should have the right targets is so laughably unachievable that it's rarely mentioned anywhere...
I'm actually all for political correctness. If you want to work to change the usage of a word that's discriminatory then fine, I'm behind you. But that's a conversation that needs to be had in the culture. You can't just decide that commonly used parts of a language are evil and that the people who didn't get the memo must be bad people.
Awkwardly, the areas of culture which would be most useful in updating how people perceive language are the very ones that are most censored. I tried to do a routine about why I thought we should be worried about Britain's "rape culture" on Live at The Apollo recently (and I do feel we're reaching a crisis point where some people view rape as mere bad sexual etiquette, like patting your cock dry on a tea towel or paying in loose change), only to be told that while the sentiments of the routine were acceptable I just couldn't say the word rape.
If you're any kind of writer these days the culture seems to be saying "Please challenge and provoke me, redefine how I see the world, while I scream my head off every time I hear something I don't like."
So now a lot of challenging stuff just doesn't get made. Good stuff that does get made is weaker because it has to contain the seeds of its own defence. Because when the baleful burning eye of journalism turns upon you, you want to be able to say that it was all completely defensible.
Nobody wants to be stood on the doorstep in their dressing gown saying "Well, actually it was supposed to be thorny and ambiguous and disturbing. I know it didn't please people, but actually I was trying not to please them." to a bored reporter from the Daily Mail who in their head is already translating your play about right to die legislation into a call for disabled death camps.
In the future we will all be famous for 15 minutes. It will be on a daytime magazine programme and we will each wear a tasteful shirt and slacks combination. We'll be interviewed by a soothing voice under a clock that's permanently set to 4pm. We will talk about the weather. We will record for months to get 15 minutes they can use in the edit. We will think that we recognise a faint, familiar smell from childhood, but it will turn out to be hand sanitizer. We will feel like saying something we shouldn't, something that will send them all scurrying about the studio floor screaming at each other like a besieged rat colony. We will stay on our best behaviour and feel relieved when it's over.
We don't live in a shared reality, we each live in a reality of our own, and causing upset is often the price of trying to reach each other. It's always easier to dismiss other people than to go through the awkward and time consuming process of understanding them. We have given taking offence a social status it doesn't deserve: it's not much more than a way of avoiding difficult conversations.

The always-delicate political truce in the United States on abortion rights has been plunged into unexpected jeopardy thanks to an amendment inserted at the eleventh hour in the healthcare reform legislation approved by the House of Representatives.
Tensions that have lurked below the surface of the healthcare debate exploded into the open when more than 60 Democrats in the House approved the amendment adding new restrictions on access to abortion for women. The manoeuvre helped ensure the passage of the legislation in the House last Saturday. The US Senate is scheduled to begin debating its version of reform early next week.
President Barack Obama and other Democratic Party leaders have strived for months to keep the lid on debate about abortion, which in America becomes very emotional very fast. The President expressed anxiety that fresh political warfare on the issue could derail the wider reform effort. "This is a health care bill, not an abortion bill," he insisted during an interview with ABC News.
While the US Supreme Court returned to women the right to seek an abortion in the landmark 1973 Roe vs Wade ruling, Congress subsequently instituted a rule barring the use of federal funds for abortions. But access to abortion, particularly for poorer women, would be narrowed further under the amendment introduced to the legislation by Congressman Bart Stupak last weekend.
The Stupak amendment aims indeed to ensure that abortions will not be available under the new system to women with health coverage subsidised by Government dollars. Additionally, however, it bars insurers from including abortions in their coverage plans if they participate in proposed health insurance exchanges designed to make it easier for lower-income people and small business owners to get insurance.
It didn't take long for defenders of abortion rights to understand that this represents a change of the rules for women because the effect of the amendment would be to make it impossible for some women to obtain coverage for abortions even when they are ready to pay for it with their own money.
"There's going to be a firestorm," warned Diana DeGette, a Democrat who opposed the amendment. "Women are going to realise that a Democratic-controlled House has passed legislation that would prohibit women paying for abortions with their own funds... we're not going to let this into law."
Nancy Keenan, the President of NARAL-Pro Choice America, condemned the vote as "extremely disappointing and outrageous" and vowed that the "fight isn't over yet". Pro-choice forces are in fact galvanising themselves for action as the focus switches to the US Senate. Now that the abortion debate has gone from a simmer to a spitting boil, it is hard to see who could cool it back down again, however.
"I said all along that the inclusion of abortion as healthcare was going to be a political conflagration," noted Charmaine Yoest, president of Americans United For Life Action, who hailed the amendment's passage.
But Senator Barbara Boxer of California is among those now determined to have it erased before a final law reaches the desk of Mr Obama, something that supporters hope will happen by Christmas.
"This amendment is unfair and discriminatory toward women," she declared. "We've had a compromise in place for decades that has been fair. Anything that disrupts that compromise is a huge step back for women."
In practice, few women in the US who obtain abortions claim back the costs for them even if they have coverage, usually for reasons of privacy. But such is the determination of both sides in the debate to hold their respective ground that any tweaks to the law will always trigger a fresh outbreak of warfare. And once hostilities begin, finding the terms of a new truce is always hard.

National Stress Pandemic Will End In California
Author and stress expert Paul Hujlich offers readers a chance to relax with a trip for two to Los Angeles
"I want everyone to know it's possible to turn around heath issues by reaching for the life preserver: the 9-step process I created and used to turn my own life around," says Hujlich. "I wrote this book to empower and inspire people to take control their stress— before it takes control of them."
Paul Hujlich was co-founder and joint CEO of Best Corporation, an organic food company in New Zealand. In leading the company to a value of more than $100 million, Huljich developed a number of stress-related conditions including anxiety and depression. In 1998 he had a mental breakdown. He lost a lifetime of hard work, and the consequences were disastrous to him and his family.
Despite seeking the best care available, Huljich was told he would inevitably relapse and that there was no cure for his illness. Determined to free himself of his conditions, he began a search for a cure. He traveled to the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota and voluntarily admitted himself to the Menninger Clinic in Kansas for treatment. Ultimately, Huljich succeeded in fortifying himself and conquering his stress. Since the year 2000, he has not taken any medication related to any condition of the mind, nor has he suffered any relapse or needed any further treatment regarding any kind of mental illness. He has fully cured himself and has never felt better. He shares his personal story of struggle, and his path to complete recovery and optimum wellness in the second edition of Stress Pandemic: 9 Natural Steps to Break the Cycle of Stress and Thrive.
Paul Huljich is one of America's leading stress experts, a public speaker, a stress management coach, and a member of the American Institute of Stress. He has appeared in over 500 radio and television shows and he blogs for Psychology Today. Hujlich, who frequently tours the United States giving seminars and speaking at conferences, will be attending this year's American Library Association (ALA) in Las Vegas June 26-July 1. He resides in New York City.

Now Soundstyle has revamped them with some new features and a £10 price hike – the first in a decade. Soundstyle has added lockable spikes to the base and improved the bolt and socket assembly of the main support for additional rigiidity, while also filling it with damping materials to reduce resonance. They also come with top spikes. We gave them the Monitor Audio Bronze BR2s paired with Adele's 19 album and had a listen. The new stands neatly improve detail, with the rippling acoustic bass and Adele's winsome vocals taking on a new sense of clarity and space. Dynamically, the music gains more drive and there's a real sense of excitement and verve in changes of tempo. Downsides? Tonal balance is a little lean, but the extra detail and panache in the sound outweights this minor shortcoming and these Z2s firmly remain a five-star product.

New York, Jan 13 (ANI): Tiger Woods' estranged wife Elin Nordegren is said to have rented a five-bedroom mansion, just three miles from her old family home.
According to TMZ.com, the huge house in Windermere, Fla, is on the market for 2.65 million dollars - and the real estate company selling it says it was "purchased by a professional athlete this year and never lived in."
The master bedroom has its own bar, steam room, fireplace, fountain and a 'massage area', reports the New York Daily News.
There are two kitchens, four baths, a game room, pool, hot tub, wine cellar and more.
Nordegren moved out of her own home soon after the Woods' sex scandal exploded.
Revelations that he had cheated with a dozen or so mistresses came pouring out after he crashed his SUV following a fight with Nordegren. (ANI)

The young woman, she didn't live long after that day. As some of the other women carried away her lifeless body, I saw that the ill-fitting shoes we were allocated were left at the end of the bed. As I went to collect them, I saw that she had stuffed something inside. I recognised it almost immediately as the papers she had scribbled on for the short time she had been here. I pulled the contents out and looked over it, and as I did, in some indescribable way, it warmed me. That what was left of her life was written down here. She had poured her soul into them, and between the crooked lines swam the iridescent essence that was life. I took them, hid them, and decided to carry her writing on for her. It seemed unjust to let her efforts slip away into history as she had.
At this moment, the soldier scowled, with a combination of fury and sorrow. It was if a close friend had just passed. In a sudden realisation, he found himself likening this woman to his own mother. She was a proud and dominant woman. He grudgingly found a slight sense of respect for her strength and pride. The way she had continued what he supposed could be called a tradition, paying tribute to Katya in a silent, unsung and almost unnoticeable way. He respected her enough to read on.

Statistics show the greatest number of accidents occurred in the intersection of Highway 46 south and the Interstate Highway 35 service road. Twenty-four accidents occurred at that intersection. Out of those accidents, 22 people were inured. The second highest number of accidents was reported in the intersection of Walnut Street and San Antonio Street. In this intersection, there were 20 accidents. Statistics show 19 accidents occurred in the intersection at South Walnut Street and the Interstate Highway 35 service road near Wal-Mart and 18 accidents occurred in the intersection of South Seguin Street and the Interstate Highway 35 aervice road. Ll John Wommack, who oversees the petrol division of the New Braunfels Police Department, said he wai not surprised these intersections came out on the top of the list for accidents in New Braunfels. Hereld-Zeitung photo by JOHN HUSETH The most dangerous Intersection In New Braunfels list ysar was Walnut & 1-35. intersection and should hesitate one-half a second to make sure nobody is running a red light, said Wommack. Tbs corner of Walnut & Sen Antonio Ie often an accident scene. B See Q&A with local TxDOT engineer, Page 1B, ■ See "Growth," Page 1B "They are all extremely high traffic areas,'' he said. "There are no specific dangers at these intersections but there is a high volume of cars." Wommack said many of the accidents occurring in these intersections are caused by people missing red lights or making unprotected left turns. In order to avoid accidents drivers should be aware they are approaching a heavily traveled Turnout for early voting low By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer ■ See county precinct polling place, election judges for Tuesday's runoff election, Page 9A Early voting turnout for the April 12 runoff election was low, according to Comal County Clerk Joy Streater. As of 4 p.m. Friday, — — ........ ....... 381 people voted early in the runoff election. Streater said 224 people voted early in person in the Democratic election and 63 voted by mail-in ballot. Ninety-four people voted in the Republican runoff. No Republican ballots have been received through the mail as of Friday. 'Turnout has been low on the Republican side because there was nobody locally on the ballot. When that happens, people seem to take a passive attitude. The Democrats are turning out because of the district judge's race," said Streater. The only local race being decided in the runoff is for the Democratic nomination for 207th District Court Judge. Running in that race are New Braunfels resident Nile Reidel and Dripping Springs resident Jeff Van Archer. Early voting began Monday and continued until Friday. Election day is Tuesday. Polling places and election judges have been chosen. Teamsters' strike poses little threat to New Braunfels By JENNIFER ROMPEL Staff Writer The recent strike by the International Brotherhood of Teamsters should have and has had little effect on the New Braunfels area, according to officials with the San Antonio chapter of the union. "It will have very little effect on the average person in New Braunfels, Texas, " said Preston Ketchum, president of Teamsters Local Union No. 657 in San Antonio. — Ketchum said the only local business he knows of that may be affected is Wal-Mart. However, he said the strike should be over soon. "The main issue is over working conditions and job security," he said. "The companies want to implement part-time labor at $9 per hour. A regular employee gets $17." 'It will have vary intla affect on thaavaraga parson in Now Braunfels, Taxas.' - Preston Ketchum President, Teamsters Local Union No 657 Some accidents in these intersections cannot be prevented, according to Wommack. He said the intersections are well-designed and have the best traffic controls developed. However, Wommack said some accidents on the Interstate Highway 35 service roads may be avoided after the roads are made one-way on each side instead of two-way, as they are now. "We won't have the double flow of traffic and some of the left turns will be eliminated because people won't be cutting across a lane of traffic to turn," he said. Judging by personal experience, Wommack said most of the people involved in accidents are between the ages of 16 to 24 and most accidents occur near the driver's home. Ketchum said IO companies have signed a tentative agreement, A meeting was scheduled for Saturday afternoon concerning those agreements. The strike targets 22 trucking companies, according to an article printed in the Austin American-States-man. The article states that the group decided not to picket one of the companies, Carolina Freight Carrier Corporation, because it has agreed to go along with any agreement. The strike began Wednesday and involves 75,000 Teamsters across the United States. Ketchum said the San Antonio Chapter has gotten IOO percent participation from its members. Only IS to 20 people who live or work in New Braunfels are part of the union, said Ketchum. Officials have said that the average consumer should feel little impact since companies involved transport raw materials and equipment rather than finished products. Food delivery is not expected to be affected.For subscription, news or advertising information, call 625-9144 (Metro 606-0846) ;

The 45 year old singer was behind the wheel of his tour bus Easter weekend when it slammed into some freeway barrels here and it sent him through the windshield:
"Physically he had perhaps a one in three chance of not surviving us. Now we're talking about him moving to rehab and complaining about hospital food. So, that's pretty impressive."
At a news conference at Memorial Hermann Hospital, where Emilio has been since March 23rd, Dr Alex Valadka, director of neurotrauma services says it's now on to another challenge:
"Although he has made alot of progress, he still has a long way to go and recovery from this can continue to take a long time. He's very impatient. He'll need to learn to deal with that because he will not be able to do things as well as he used to. At least, not for a little while."
Surgeries were performed to deal with a head injury and to repair an aneurysm in his lung. Dr Alan Cohen is chief of vascular interventional imaging at UT Health Sciences Center:
"If we didn't do anything, this was very dangerous. It would bleed and that could be very fatal. I was able to put a catheter up and block it off with a combination, primarily of coils of various different types. At the end of the time, the aneurysm is totally occluded. There's no
more blood flow in it, so there's no more risk of it rupturing."
Doctors say Emilio will likely have trouble with his memory and concentration during recovery, but a good sign was his ability to write his name a few weeks ago. The accident remains under investigation.

Silas: Warming UpMature
I had wandered over to the van, sifting through my stuff for my sun glasses. When they came out broken, I sighed, chucking them into the trash. I had seen a hut just down the road so I figured I'd go for a walk on my own.
"Hey Si! Where you going?" Harry called from his comfortable seat on the beach.
"Away from you." A chorus of laughs accompanied my footsteps as I started to walk away. I could hear someone coming up behind me pretty fast and turned around sharply to see Liv there with a smile.
"You're more than welcome to use my phone if needs be, Livvy." I smiled kindly, hoping that she understood the sentiment. She nodded in understanding.
"It's ok, Silas. I'm fine." she patted me on the shoulder.
I picked up the first set of glasses I could find that suited me and paid the vendor. I thought about getting Liv something to help but picked up something for everyone else instead.
If we were going to be staying here for a few more days, I figured we'd need something to drink. Well they would at least. That way I'd get some peace in the morning.

I Scream For Life
I'm screaming out! Can you hear me? I'm calling out to the world, I'm praying for...no, I'm screaming for life. But yet I feel...NOTHING. I am numb. Numb to love, to laughter, to happiness, to emotion, to life. I stumble through the door to a brand new day, but in reality my day has not come yet. Day is dead for me, I live in night, in darkness. Though life passes me by I seem to go through it without a second glance. Will I ever feel yet? I'm screaming out for you, for life, for help. Please help me...please help me. I scream for life, a life to feel for, a life to live. Will one be given to me? Will feelings find me? Will I ever be found here in the dark? Can I brought to life?

New Control On Blood Vessels In Developing Brain Revealed By Chance Finding
Instead, he wanted to see how changing a particular gene in brain cells called glia would affect the growth of neurons.
The result was hemorrhage, caused by deteriorating veins and arteries, and it begged for explanation.
"It was a surprising finding," says Huang, an assistant professor of neuroscience and neurology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. "I was mainly interested in the neurological aspect, how the brain develops and wires itself to prepare for all the wonderful things it does."
But chance favors the prepared mind, as Louis Pasteur said, and Huang knew he needed to follow up on the suggestion that glia, normally considered "helpers" for the neurons, would affect the growth of blood vessels. For one thing, blood flow is a big deal in the brain, says Huang, whose collaborators included Shang Ma, in the graduate program in cellular and molecular biology at UW-Madison. "We know the brain is very energy-intensive. Per unit of volume, it consumes 10 times as much oxygen as the rest of the body."
Although it makes intuitive sense that blood vessel development should be guided by neuronal development in some fashion, Huang spent years making sure he wasn't being mislead by his experiment. Now, he's satisfied himself, and his scientific reviewers, and the journal PLOS Biology has just published his study.
Glial cells in the nervous system establish a nurturing environment for neurons but do not carry signals. In particular, Huang looked at "radial glial cells," which also act as stem cells in creating new neurons. Radial glia extend from the inside of the brain to the outside, and also guide growing neurons to their final locations.
A standard way to find out what cells and genes do is to "knock out" specific genes, using a technology invented at UW-Madison by former professor Oliver Smithies (who shared the 2010 Nobel Prize for this discovery).
When Huang grew mice with a "knock out" mutation that blocked cell division among the radial glia, he expected to see abnormalities in the embryonic brain. But the major abnormality was completely unexpected: blood vessels that had already formed had collapsed.
New blood vessels in an embryo generally develop via a two-step process, first growing, and then stabilizing. "If the second step cannot be carried out, the vessels may already be formed, but the organ still cannot get its blood supply because the vessel will regress, or collapse," Huang says.
When blood vessels collapse, neurons start to die, says Huang. Some brain diseases, including Alzheimer's and hemorrhagic stroke, show a similar regression, and Huang says it's possible that the signaling mechanism that he experimentally blocked may play a role in these diseases as well.
Although any clinical treatment is years away, Huang is still basking in the thrill of basic discovery.
"We find that these progenitor and helper cells, the radial glia, regulate blood vessel development, and nobody has found that before." Huang says. "We used a mouse with alterations in genetics that regulate activity in these helper cells in the brain, and were very surprised to see that this had a drastic effect on blood vessel development. Previously it was always thought that these were two separate systems, now we know there is crosstalk between them. It's almost like a new field has opened up."

The principles behind Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) were established long before the Internet became a force, and certainly before the appearance of Cloud infrastructure.
Although many people consider SOA as well as the Cloud to be about ways of building, deploying and managing applications, these technologies and methodologies are also important in making "big data" useful and manageable. Indeed, SOA and Cloud are increasingly becoming so intertwined as to cause major confusion in the marketplace.
Let's be clear - there's SOA, and there's Cloud and there's the intersection of SOA and Cloud. That intersection is a very exciting place to be
I remember having discussions a couple of decades ago on technologies like CICS, which embodied many of the principals behind SOA - and I'm sure there are technologies (and methodologies) older than that which similarly embody various principles of Cloud as well as SOA). Like so many things in this industry, the more things change, the more they seem strangely (though never entirely) similar. I suppose that's evolution for you.
Although SOA's success in the enterprise has been mixed, the power of SOA is evident. The strength of SOA's core principles has been illustrated by the SOA's ability to embrace (and in some ways help define) new technologies such as Web services and the Internet. This evolution of SOA is happening again with the proliferation of elastic Cloud computing technologies.
Cloud-based data services leveraging platforms such as Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure offer the possibility of tremendous and "instant" scalability for compute power, storage, and other resources, and can provide significant other advantages (e.g. response time, economics, time-to-value, cost to develop/test).
Enterprises AND software companies seeking competitive advantage through IT innovation should be aware of this technology shift and actively defining strategies for capitalizing on it.
In his session at 20th Cloud Expo, Brad Winett, Senior Technologist for DDN Storage, will present several current, end-user environments that are using object storage at scale for cloud deployments including private cloud and cloud providers. Details on the top considerations of features and functions for selecting object storage will be included. Brad will also touch on recent developments in tiering technologies that deliver single solution and an end-user view of data across files and objects...

DevOps is often described as a combination of technology and culture. Without both, DevOps isn't complete. However, applying the culture to outdated technology is a recipe for disaster; as response times grow and connections between teams are delayed by technology, the culture will die. A Nutanix Enterprise Cloud has many benefits that provide the needed base for a true DevOps paradigm.

Research shows that the inflection point where organizations begin to see maximum value is when they implement tight integration deploying their code to their infrastructure. Success at this level is the last barrier to at-will deployment. Storage, for instance, is more capable than where we read and write data. In his session at @DevOpsSummit at 20th Cloud Expo, Josh Atwell, a Developer Advocate for NetApp, will discuss the role and value...

A strange thing is happening along the way to the Internet of Things, namely far too many devices to work with and manage.

The problem with life...Mature
...People expect too much. I expect too much. I keep thinking somehow I will get the one thing I've been working hard at right. But no, no matter how I approach the task, I still seem to fail. Am I hoping for too much? Wanting to please everyone?
The one story I've developed for years in my head. The one that's dearest to me. Is the one story I can never seem to write well enough. I don't understand how I can write a story I've only worked on for two years better than one that's been in my head since I was thirteen. Am I misunderstanding something? Am I too close to the story and characters to see where I don't tell people enough. Am I so used to the characters that I'm not showing their personality enough?
Where am I going wrong here?

A federal appeals court has temporarily put plans for Idaho same-sex weddings on hold while it considers the state's request for a longer stay.
The state's gay marriage ban was overturned Tuesday when US district judge Candy Dale said the law unconstitutionally denied gay and lesbian residents their fundamental right to marry. Dale said Idaho must begin issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples starting Friday morning.
But the 9th US circuit court of appeals on Thursday put the weddings on hold while it considers a request for a longer stay while the governor and attorney general appeal the case.
The four couples who sued to get Idaho's ban overturned had asked the court to allow the weddings to begin.
The decision in Idaho came hours after a judge cleared the way for gay marriages to resume in Arkansas, striking down all state laws that prevent same-sex couples from wedding.
Gay marriage is legal in 17 states and the District of Columbia.

YouTube Connect To Challenge Twitter's Periscope And Facebook Live
- According to credible rumors, Alphabet is entering the live video streaming sector with YouTube Connect.
- The service, which could be launched before Google's I/O developer conference in May, will challenge Facebook, Twitter, and IBM.
- Live video streaming could be "the new TV" and have a disruptive impact on online media and advertising.
Next-generation live video streaming platforms are rapidly revolutionizing online communications for consumers and businesses alike. Now, according to credible rumors, Alphabet Inc-A (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is entering the live video streaming sector with YouTube Connect.
In January, IBM (NYSE:IBM) acquired veteran live video streaming provider Ustream, a company headquartered in San Francisco that provides video streaming services to more than 80 million viewers and broadcasters.
"Video is the most powerful and emotional medium," said Brad Hunstable, CEO, Ustream. "Increasingly it is becoming the favored form of communication, not just for entertainment, but also for business." In fact, IBM's plans for Ustream target the business market, but powerful live streaming platforms for consumers are emerging and rapidly gaining popularity.
Twitter (NYSE:TWTR) and Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) offer video streaming services for consumers, integrated with today's leading social media.
Twitter's Periscope, launched in March 2015, lets everyone stream live video to the world from an app available for iOS and Android devices. While Periscope wasn't the first live video streaming app for consumers, it's arguably the first to achieve mass usability and appeal, and captured ten million users in just four months from launch.
In December 2015, Apple named Periscope as the iPhone App of the Year. The company was acquired by Twitter in January 2015, before the product had been publicly launched. Periscope is simplicity itself, and anyone can start broadcasting live video immediately after downloading the app and creating a profile, no questions asked. In fact, the bare immediacy of Periscope matches that of Twitter itself and Facebook's photo-sharing service Instagram.
Writing for The Huffington Post, Danielle James described Periscope's potential as "the new TV." In fact, besides broadcasting rants and family moments from one's living room, Periscope can be used to broadcast current events live. Politicians are starting to use Periscope - including Donald Trump, who hosted some Periscope broadcasts.
Facebook offers live video streaming in Facebook Mentions, the company's outreach tool for public figures and brands. Individual users are also able to stream live video after getting their profile verified by Facebook. Getting one's profile verified is an extra step that deters some users, but the process - which requires sending a scanned id to Facebook - is reasonably straightforward, and Facebook live streaming is arguably better integrated with the rest of Facebook than Periscope with Twitter. Many Facebook power users are beginning to use live video streaming to connect with their friends and followers.
In both cases, live streaming is integrated with the embedding social networks, and broadcasters can receive and answer questions and comments from other users via the app or the desktop. The rapid fire discussions on popular streams show the potential of live streaming to connect with social network audiences and indicate that live streaming could not only provide an important boost to the popularity of the embedding social networks - Twitter and Facebook - but also open new channels for product promotion and advertising.
Live video streaming is also noteworthy in the context of the ongoing push of social media companies, first and foremost Facebook, to become major media hubs. While directly challenging traditional media wouldn't make too much sense for Facebook, it seems that live streaming could be an important complement to Facebook's services for publishers, such as Instant Articles.
Alphabet offers live video streaming via Hangouts on Air and YouTube Creator Studio, but Alphabet's streaming services aren't so immediate and advanced as Ustream, Periscope, or Facebook Live. But now Alphabet wants to fill the gap, VentureBeat reports. The company, which hasn't yet made an announcement or issued official comments, is rumored to be working on a new live streaming app called YouTube Connect, which will be available on both iOS and Android devices, to compete directly against Twitter's Periscope and Facebook Live.
According to unnamed "sources close to the matter," a launch of YouTube Connect before Google's I/O developer conference in May seems likely. "You can log into the app using your Google or YouTube account and immediately begin streaming from your mobile phone," reveals VentureBeat. "There are chat and tagging features, and a 'news feed' that features the latest clips from your friends or those that you've subscribed to on YouTube. Videos will be viewable live within the app, as well as on the YouTube site in their respective channels."
Alphabet couldn't stay out of the emerging live video streaming space, which ties directly in key parts of Alphabet's business lines, such as YouTube, Google+, News, and Adsense. Investors should feel reassured that Alphabet is taking the necessary steps to protect and reinforce its leading position in online media and advertising.

If you bet on the horses this past Saturday and I hope you won. I don't recall the track ever being that muddy before.
The upside is the sun came out on Sunday and I could work in my garden. My goal is always to have at least half in the ground by Derby. Mission accomplished.
My 5-year-old has a raised bed garden that he planted and will water and watch. I think it's important for him to understand where food comes from, how much work is involved, and how much better it tastes.
At a recent book club gathering, while discussing J.D. Vance's bestselling Hillbilly Elegy, we fell to talking politics.
Our fall came unexpected. Book club has always been sacrosanct, a space carved out once a month for literature, fun, good friends and conversation. For, let's be honest, a night out with wine and cheese.
That's not to say we spend every minute of the night talking about the book we (were supposed to have) read. But politics? Politics have always been a big fat no.
Until Hillbilly Elegy, where we could not avoid it.
It was not easy taking one week to drive across the country with my husband, three children, two cars, one dog, piles of suitcases, blankets and toys to arrive at our new home in Kentucky. By the time we hit Oklahoma it was our fourth day on the road. I honestly started questioning how many more days I could drive in a row, or if we would ever reach our destination.
This week is Cinco De Mayo which is a great reason to try your hand at making Queso dip. Queso simply means cheese in Spanish. You will taste the difference immediately when you make homemade versus store bought dip.
1 cup pepper jack cheese, shredded
1 cup cheddar, shredded
¼ cup of canned green chilies, drained
¼ cup roasted red peppers, drained and chopped
2 tablespoon butter
1 garlic clove, minced
Happy May. Let the gardening begin. Instead of just going shopping for plants and then coming home to plant them, may I suggest you lay out a garden plan first? It kind of forces you to think about how much stuff you need. It also helps if you pick your varieties, especially if you grow corn and tomatoes to can.
I have varieties of tomatoes that can be harvested in as little as 55 days, some that take 90 days, and some in-between. That allows me to harvest throughout the season and not be inundated with tons of ripe ones all at once. You can do the same with corn.
Column as I see 'em …
I wasn't aware until recently that the University of Kentucky is going broke.
Please forgive my ignorance because while I don't venture into the city very often, it would appear when I do that the state's namesake university is humming along nicely. Not only does the construction of new buildings and such go on in perpetuity, the school certainly isn't shy about hefty tuition increases each and every year.
Cattle receiving insecticide-impregnated ear tags take their fly control system with them. Ear tags have provided a popular option to control the horn fly, a blood-sucking insect that hits producers with a $1 billion bill for losses and control costs each year. In addition, the tags can reduce face fly numbers on cattle.
Avocados aren't just for guacamole.
I've seen avocado ice cream, brownies and muffins, avocado-walnut pesto, avocado dips and even avocado soup.
Avocados are a very unique fruit. They contain lots of fiber and are rich in vitamins and minerals, such as B-vitamins, vitamin K, potassium, copper, vitamin E and vitamin C. They have more potassium than bananas. Eating avocados has been linked with various health benefits, such as decreased risk of cardiovascular disease and arthritis.
In the fall I call it peeping; in the spring I call it leaving. The ornery kid in me really wanted to start this paragraph with "I'm leaving", but thought better of it.
Actually, I'm just really enjoying watching the trees get their leaves on.
It was during a coffee break outside Bliss Hall that an Army colonel from Virginia shared his exasperation with TV news.
"I was in one of those tanks," he told me, clearly angry, "rolling down a street in Iraq. FOX, CNN, the networks, they all showed us throwing fistfuls of candy to crowds of kids with the caption 'US troops greeted as liberators.' I was so dang mad. Those kids weren't the welcome wagon, they were starving."

Getting the Word out.
For all you established guys out there. When you were first starting your catering business, what was the most effective way you got your name out to the people. I have a couple of ideas in my head but would love to hear from those here who have 'been there and done that' as to what worked best for them.
I personally am doing local Farmers Markets. Any public Event you can land. Craigslist is a free way.
Right now we can't vend any events. The way our county health codes are they make a distinction between 'contract cooks' and 'vendors' We don't have the equipment yet to be inspected and verified as a 'vendor' so until we basically have a small inspectable comerical kitchen we are set up as a 'contract cook' This means individuals can hire us to cook for them, or for any party/event they have. We just can't go and set up and sell/vend to the public.
I haven't thought about craigslist, I'll have to check that out. I just got a Myspace page set up and sent out a ton of friend request.
Human Resource Fairs, mailings, word of mouth!
Sell dinners to your friends, family and coworkers. Pick a day and tell everyone that you are selling dinners to be picked up on that day. Get payment in advance. Offer to deliver for orders of 10 or more. You get the word out and make cash at the same time. I've funded many a contest that way,
Call local catering companies and offer to sell them authentic slow smoked BBQ. Some catering companies get calls for BBQ but don't really do BBQ. Go to local VFW, AM VETS, ELKS organizations that have halls bring samples and ask to be put on thier preferred catering list. Get involved with non profit charity organizations and do thier party at cost (plus a little extra for yourself). Tell them to provide labor help. That way you and your product are being exposed and you are a good person for helping.
I haven't thought about the local VFWs and ELKS. Good idea. We have done some church fundraisers, but it was in another state so no real prospects there. I am contacting local churchs to offer our services for fun raisers at cost just with the stipulation that they let us hand out cards and menus.
Having a website has helped me increase my catering sales.
make full color menus. mine are coming out soon
I started smoking ribs and chicken then taking them to my local boozer giving them away and asking for comments. I have been doing Q there during the summer a few years and started a 'you bring it I cook it for beer' campaign.
Once people understood our ability, I asked for sponsorship for a contest ( 300 pounds cash) and brought home the Grand Champion award. The local paper did a big story on us at my local pub and word spread. I was granted access to the pubs kitchen free of charge anytime I liked just as long as the landlord got first choice where feasible if he needed some Q done.
My kids are in on the program too. They returned home from school to tell me they signed us up to do the summer fair so we have been there two years running. I received an email from the head of the PTA asking if I could put something together for an American 4th of July carnival in 2009.
It's slow and the money isn't great but I'm getting out there.
Also we stuck our sponsors names on our team banner too.
Dr. Sweetsmoke
The names are seperate stickers so they can be removed if they want to drop out.
I just returned from getting things set up at another pub for a cook tomorrow and I forgot to add that if you can ask local businesses to advertise for you.
This is what they did for in in preparation for tomorrow.
They are busy all week and have several visiting darts teams so what better place to advertise then next to the board..
I think the secret is to take advantage of an opportunity by cooking the best BBQ you possibly can and getting feedback from folks. I did a three day golf tournament last month and all of the memebrs were rather well off and most if not all have their own businesses. There is no telling when that word of mouth will run dry.
Golf tournaments! A lot of work but was well worth it.
I started out by donating a BBQ dinner for 20 at my parish school's annual fund raising auction. From there it's been all word of mouth.

Columbus Water Damage Restoration Services
When you have water in your home, you want it gone — now! Water creates problems very quickly and must be addressed immediately to stop further damage and expenses. But quick response isn't enough. It's equally important to make sure your water removal and cleanup process includes thorough drying to prevent mold and other problems. We provide water damage restoration services in Columbus OH and the surrounding areas.
We address water damage everywhere - from basement to attic
Many water damage cleanup companies miss critical elements of effective drying. Buildings are like sponges, so just because there isn't any visible water doesn't mean the building is dry. Also, attic and basement water damage can be particularly tricky to handle because of hidden moisture and conditions that are ripe for speedy mold growth, and any sewage damage that might be associated with the flooding can contain dangerous microbes that pose a serious danger to your health. So it's important to use a water damage company who are expert at delivering all aspects of water damage restoration.
When Dry Patrol arrives at your home or commercial business, we're officially on alert for all flooding damage issues, whether they're caused by broken, leaky or frozen pipes, sink or toilet overflows, or malfunctions of washing machines, refrigerators, water heaters or dishwashers. Our flood damage technicians look beyond the surface level and measure moisture at the stud, insulation, and sill plate level. Then, we create a moisture map of the affected area and monitor moisture content, temperatures, and relative humidity levels on a daily basis. This thoroughness and commitment to drying your home is one of the unique advantages of working with Dry Patrol. Finally, Dry Patrol also has the equipment and expertise to take care of all sewage cleanup and removal safely and quickly.
Once structural drying is completed, the water damage repair process can begin and all damaged walls, ceilings, carpet and hardwood floors can be cleaned and repaired or replaced.

What happens when you call Dry Patrol for flood and sewage damage cleanup and repair?
Today's ever-changing climate conditions are causing more frequent flooding and weather-related Columbus water damage. Flood damage cleanup is more complex than normal water restoration because all floodwater — no matter the color — is considered toxic "black water" and must be treated as sewage removal.
Among the various types of water damage, sewage or "black water" is the most dangerous because it contains pollutants and toxic pathogens, including human waste. This type of water comes from storm drain or sewage backups, toilet failure, or external floodwaters. It typically has a distinct smell and color, but even "clean" floodwater has the potential to become black water if it's not addressed within 72 hours.
Whether it's flooding or a sewage backup harming your home or commercial property, you need a team who can clean up the mess and make sure your health, as well as your family or your employees, are not at risk. Only the experts at Dry Patrol have the equipment and experience to guarantee cleanliness and safety.

Then, the team ensures your home is 100% sewage-free and safe by applying Benefect, an all-natural botanical antimicrobial formula that cleans and kills germs without endangering your health.
