Eversheds is in talks with at least two firms from Denton Wilde Sapte's collapsed European network, The Lawyer can reveal.
Head of international at Eversheds Alan Jenkins is leading talks with Dentons' former Spanish member Denton Lupicinio, which in turn has introduced the UK firm to former Austrian member Baier Lambert.
It is understood that Dentons' former German ally Heuking Kühn Lüer Wojtek attempted to broker talks between Eversheds and the network's entire Continental membership of seven firms. However, a source close to the network told The Lawyer that the proposed deal with Eversheds was rejected by the Scandinavian members.
Heuking is not understood to be part of the talks now ongoing between Eversheds and the Spanish and Austrian firms.
An association would give Eversheds' international strategy a much-needed boost after talks with Cologne-based Cornelius Bartenbach ended in failure in June (The Lawyer, 16 June).
Eversheds hopes that deals elsewhere in Europe will make it a more enticing prospect for German allies.

Cow flatulence explosion nearly blows barn roof off
NewsWednesday 29 January 2014
A herd of dairy cows in a barn in central Germany nearly took the roof off when methane released by the animals caused an explosion.
The flatulent cows had produced a large quantity of the gas, which became ignited by a static electric charge causing a spurt of flame.
The roof was damaged in the incident, but only one of the flatulent cows was hurt.
The police in Hesse, said that 90 cows are kept in the shed at a farm in Rasdorf, and that it wasn't clear as to why the quantities of methane had built up.
A Portsmouth University economist has revealed how a herd of cows can produce more greenhouse gas in a year than a family car would produce in driving 3,000 miles.
Dr Andy Thorpe then went on to say that 200 cows can expel an annual amount of methane that is equivalent to the carbon dioxide emissions of a car burning 21,400 litres of petrol.
Luckily no one was hurt in this giant flatulent explosion and the local emergency services arrived on the scene and took gas readings to test for the risk of further blasts.

The Form.com platform offers advanced features that let you simplify and automate data-driven processes that take place at the office and in field on mobile devices.
Companies that conduct building inspections are under pressure from their customers to deliver in shorter time frames, while maintaining and improving the accuracy of the collected information.
For one company, they found that manually collecting inspection data was limiting their ability to accommodate customer requests and was hardly cost effective. Trying to remain on top of the mounting piles of paperwork created operational bottlenecks that eventually turned into a liability for the company. They knew they needed a cost effective way of efficiently collecting and processing inspection data that would be available to customers instantaneously.
The Company turned to Form.com to roll out a completely electronic solution that automated the inspection process, even when inspections were being conducted offline.

You spin around, fast enough to lose a few feathers from your feet in the process.
"Mom!" you exclaim in surprise.
"Yes, darling, I came to tell you that you forgot to put on your shoes and take off those gosh-darned chicken slippers of yours on your way to work this morning," says your mother, a grey-haired woman of approximately fifty years.
"Ooops. Sorry mom." You take off the chicken slippers and trade them with the pair of blue suede loafers your mother hands you. Elvis-impersonator or not, it's just not right to go into work wearing chicken slippers.

Things To Do
A visit to the Yorkshire Arboretum can be action-packed or completely relaxing - it's entirely up to you. Whether you are visiting alone, with friends or family, or as part of a group we look forward to making you welcome. Our 120 acre garden of trees is yours to explore.
Tree Trails
If you'd like to explore the highlights of the arboretum's tree collection at your own pace, pick up a copy of our tree trail map in the Visitor Centre. This map details our short and long tree trails, which take about 1 and 2 hours to complete respectively. These approximate timings depend, of course, entirely on how fast you choose to walk and how often you pause to admire the view!
Both trails guide you to some of our most interesting and beautiful trees such as Sorbus caloneura (Chinese Mountain Ash). The original seed from which this tree grew was collected in 1985 on an expedition to an isolated mountain in China by Jim Russell (who, with George Howard, created and planted the Yorkshire Arboretum) and John Simmons (instigator of the Castle Howard Arboretum Trust).
If you'd like to learn more about our tree trails in advance of your visit, you can download the map here.
Our events programme runs throughout the year and is constantly expanding, with new events and activities being added all the time. For the latest information on what's going on during your visit please check the Event Calendar.
FREE Drop-In Guided Tours
Every Thursday from mid April to the end of October one of our friendly, expert guides will be on hand to introduce you to the collection, explain the arboretum's history, and show you the very best of our seasonal treasures.
Tours start from the Visitor Centre at 1.30pm and last between 1 and 2 hours (depending on the season, the weather, how much we chat and how slowly we walk!) Tours are free of charge. Standard arboretum admission charges apply. Well-behaved dogs on leads welcome. No need to book - just turn up and join in!
Bespoke, private tours may also be booked in advance for your party. Please contact us on email@example.com or phone 01653 648598

George Galloway, leader of the Respect Party, has caused a stir in a constituency that has one of the largest populations of Jewish people in the UK after it was announced that he would appear in the area on Question Time this week.
The broadcaster's inclusion of the MP, who is a vocal opponent of Israel, was criticised as being "deliberately provocative" by Mike Freer, the MP for Finchley and Golders Green in north London.

7/7 George Galloway
The outspoken politician George Galloway will turn his hand to film making following an announcement that he intends to produce a feature-length documentary entitled The Killing of Tony Blair in 2012.
Mr Freer and the Jewish Leadership Council wrote to the BBC calling for his appearance on Thursday to be cancelled and questioned if inviting him was a "responsible move," according to the Daily Mail.
The MP for Bradford West is to sit on the panel alongside Tory education secretary Nicky Morgan, Labour shadow education secretary Tristram Hunt, deputy chairman of Ukip Suzanne Evans and The Guardian executive editor and columnist Jonathan Freedland.
The politician, who describes himself as anti-Zionist, is known for his strong views against the atrocities inflicted in Palestine and the Gaza Strip amid the on-off war with Israel spanning several decades.
Mr Galloway was assaulted in a street attack in August by Neil Masterson – 39, from Kensington – who called him an "anti-Semitic little man" and was subsequently jailed for 16 months in December.
The MP declared his constituency in the Midlands as an "Israel-free zone" and had refused to engage in a debate with a student upon learning that he was Israeli.
Mr Galloway walked out of the Oxford University debate two years ago saying that he had been "misled" and that he does not debate with supporters of Israel as a matter of principle.
@segal_matt I don't debate with Israelis or speak to their media. If Israelis want to speak about Palestine they can talk to the PLO; George Galloway (@georgegalloway) February 20, 2013
The Board of Deputies of British Jews also criticised the BBC for their decision but did not ask for the invite to be retracted.
Supporters of Mr Galloway slammed the protests from within some sections of Jewish communities as being hypocritical and in breach of the notion of freedom of speech.
The campaign against @georgegalloway's appearance on BBC QT this week is an attack on democracy. Free speech for some but not others.; John Wight (@JohnWight1) February 3, 2015
What happened to freedom of speech and Charlie Hebdo? #hypocrits http://t.co/MJwt93yxA7; Faisal Siddiqui (@faisalsiddiqui1) February 3, 2015
A BBC spokesperson said: "Question Time invites panellists who reflect a significant range of opinions on a number of different topics. Whilst Mr Galloway's views are entirely his own, as an MP he has a right to appear on the programme and has done so previously.
"Subjects for discussion are chosen by our audience ahead of each show and this edition of Question Time will be no different."Reuse content

Can You Say Crazy?
HE'S BAAAAACK...ALMOST! Toronto mayor Rob Ford is out of rehab and will return to City Hall on June 30. He has also asked the city to change back the locks to his office. It seems the city changed the locks when the screwball went into rehab. Don't really know if they were changed to keep HIM out or to protect the crack and alcohol HE had stored there. One thing is for sure, not too many people want him back. One councilman said "Ever since his departure, things have been calm." Councilman Kristyn Wong-Tam also said "There is a lot of business being conducted." Civility has also reportedly returned to Toronto City Hall. Imagine that, politicians doing the peoples work!
UP IN TOLEDO A REPUBLICAN PARTY organizational meeting turned into a brawl last week. As a result, congressional candidate Richard May is suspending his campaign activities. May said "The physical confrontations and acts of uncivility are embarrassing to Toledo, the GOP and the conservative movement. I condemn these thug tactics." Imagine that, a politician ashamed of anything!!!
AND NOW A MOMENT OF SANITY. THAT WWII B-24 LIBERATOR AIRPLANE is on the ground at Akron Fulton International Airport and is open for tours all this week. If you would like to take a ride in it, visit www.airpowertour.org. It's a pricey flight but it could also be a once in a lifetime flight. Only 2 of these things are still flying. The flights will take place on Saturday and Sunday only.
NEXT TIME YOU NEED AN attorney, remember this....A Florida lawyer missed her client's court date because her adversary (the prosecutor) implanted a microchip in her brain and has taken control of her...really. When the judge, somewhat surprised, ask if there was indeed a microchip in her brain, she responded "Yes, in the area of my left ear." Alright then. She also said the prosecutor is using the implant to torture her. Alright then again. Apparently this is not the first time Janice Jennings has displayed strange behavior, but she is still practicing law.Now I ask you, If the judge was surprised, how do you suppose the defendant was feeling?
APPARENTLY IT WAS A SLOW NEWSDAY at USA Today. After much research the paper figured out that men are more involved with car repairs than women. Huh, I'd a never thunk it!
HAVE A GREAT DAY and stay cool. Talk to you in the morning on 640 WHLO.

Memoirs of a Cavalier - Or, a Military Journal of the Wars in Germany, and the Wars in England - From the Year 1632 to the Year 1648

Lieferbar innerhalb von 2-3 Tagen

BeschreibungThis vintage book comprises Daniel Defoe's 1922 novel, "Memoirs of a Cavalier". One of his more obscure works, this novel tells the tale of a young English nobleman who embarks on a quest to traverse the continent with a friend and see the world. It is written in the style of a memoir, and one that appears so authentic that it fooled many a contemporary into thinking that it was a genuine account. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are thus republishing this classic work in an affordable, high quality, modern edition - complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

"I'm not really the hero."
An odd story about a teenager that decides to take over the United States.
Sophie blinked her eyes softly in the dark. The door had been opened, of course.
"Hello?" She spoke in a soft voice.
"Good morning."
A chill ran down Sophie's spine. She slowly sat up and scanned the room.
"Jared, is that you?"
A slight laugh came from the corner. "Oh, come on Sophie? Don't you remember me?"
"Now, that guess is correct."
He came out of the corner, and smiled. "It's been nice seeing you, Sophie."
Before she could take a glimpse at his brown eyes, Sophie was out like a light.
Sophie had a splitting headache.
"What the hell is going on?!" She growled, the room flashing with colored spots in her eyes.
"Calm down, you might burst a blood vessel." Ryan was twirling a string in his fingers.
Sophie rolled her eyes and tried to stand up. Along with being too dizzy, she also was trapped against the wall, her hands in metal cuffs. She fell against the wall, and sat staring at the ground at it flew in and out of focus.
"Also, you shouldn't stand up," Ryan seemed on the edge of giggles.
Ryan threw a bottle, full of water next to the wall. "Here," he sighed.
Sophie downed the liquid as soon as she could rip the cap off. She let out a loud groan as it ran down her throat. She suddenly realized how hungry she was. Her stomach growled loudly.
Ryan looked over, "We won't have anything to eat for a while, but I'm sure you'll live."
"Alright." Sophie slumped over and her eyes began to shut.
When she awoke again, Sophie was no longer in handcuffs against the wall; instead she was in the center of a small room, with a mirror on one wall.
"Excellent, you're awake." A voice came from nowhere as a small brown bag fell from the ceiling. Sophie looked inside and gobbled up the small pieces of bread and slice of cheese. She immediately felt full, and took a moment to look around the room. Nothing but a beanbag chair, and a small curtained area on the other side of the room.
"Are you feeling alright?" Ryan spoke; his voice was coming from a speaker somewhere.
Sophie seemed to be fine. "Yes," she croaked.
"Well, then I suppose we could begin…" Ryan was silent a moment as he talked with someone with the microphone off.
"Sorry about that," Ryan said and the microphone made a clicking noise. "Do you have any questions before we begin?"
Begin with what exactly? And where was she? But maybe it wasn't such a good idea to ask- Sophie had learned it was better not knowing most things. Especially when you wanted to ask questions about whatever it was, ignorance was bliss as they used to say.
Ryan must have been surprised, he didn't say anything for a while.
"Alright then, I suppose." He didn't have much to say. A section of the mirror twisted open, and Ryan walked out. He stood across from the beanbag and tapped the corners of a tile on the floor, which rose, revealing another beanbag below. "Damn, I told them chairs."
Ryan sat down anyways, and it made a squishing noise, the door closing across the room. "Sit down," he seemed to smile at Sophie. Sophie looked cautiously at the beanbag, but sat as well. Ryan took out a pad of paper.
He looked at her, turned his head, turned it the other. "Well, are you going to say something or what?" Sophie growled. Ryan suddenly looked sad, his eyes tearing up.
"Why?" He asked in a small voice.
"Is that it? And I seriously thought you were doing a good job with this kidnapping thing so far. Why what? Why am I alive? I can't even answer that question honestly, idiot," Sophie stood up and went over to the mirror, looking at the panels.
"So you just decided to ruin the world for the rest of us, for fun?" He grabbed her arm.
"Like you know anything about me at all, Ryan," His name was a poison, deadly- almost sharp in a way.
"Just because I was some kid from suburbia long ago?" She glared and stared through the mirror, only able to see his brown eyes.
"Like you cared about anything- you little slut." Jared sat calmly. It was exactly what he wanted.
"You really want to know why I ruined your stupid little 'utopia' that you thought we were long ago? When we were still thirteen?" She tapped the mirror lightly with her foot.
"That's all I want to know."
There was a song playing on the radio- I didn't know the tune, but I had memorized the lyrics by the end of the first verse. "Hello… suburbia," the song ended. I stared at the perfect box shaped houses out the window- all the same, with the green grass lawns, their average one and a half kids. My parents had dreamed of living here all their lives, for some weird reason.
My mom's beige station wagon stopped in front of a red brick house- a square one of course. She opened the trunk and I grabbed the first box I saw, one of the few that was mine, 'Sophie's Room', it said.
I lugged the box inside and stood inside the front door. From the second I saw the perfect little granite countertops and air freshener, I knew I would hate this place.

Case II - Part 4Mature
Johakin "Dancing Wolf" Aylen lived in a house that looked more like a hunting cabin than anything else. The large back yard that had been fortified with a wooden palisade seemed to contain a longhosue replica that could be seen from the road.
Vincent needed to talk to the Shaman that could have been responsible for the death of the teen boy several days earlier. Vincent had nothing bad on him that he had found but magicians could alway raise hell if they wanted to...
After parking the car, The investigator walked to the cabin and knocked on the door three times. After a minute of silence, he was about to knock again when the door opened. Behind it was a native man with fairly dark skin wearing a cultural outfit.
"Osiyo!" This one said, greeting the agent in the cherokee language.
"Evening sir. I'm Special agent Anderson, FBI. I'd like to ask you some questions."
"Of course, please come in."
The shaman brought his guest to the center of the two room house, sitting him a large wicker chair.
"What brings you here Mr. Anderson?"
"I'm here investigating the death of Jake Edwards."
"Pardon me, but I fail to understand how I am related to this case..."
"I've been ordered to check every leads, I assure you, you aren't a suspect. What do you know about the brown mountain lights?" Vincent reasured him.
"You see, when whiteman came, there was many strife and sorrows. Those lights are the soul of my tribe's ancestors, trying to find their way back to their now inexsistant homes."
"And would these spirits have any reason to attack Mr.Edwards?"
"Perhaps they are angry and sought vengeance from the white man."
"By killing a kid but not the girl with her? She even said she felt good when the lights touched her..." The false FBI suit noted, analysing the man's response.
"Perhaps one of the tribes men like the dear girl." The other said with a shrug.
"Liked, as in love?"
"I do not know. But that may be the case."
"Alright. I've got something else to ask you." Vincent said, rummaging through his pockets before taking out a page from a personal calendar.
"The victim's girlfriend's mother came to see you three days prior to the incident, apparently she wished to speak to her dead husband which as I was informed, you summoned. He was a man with a perticular hatred of Mr. Edwards..."
The shaman's face turned livid as his smile shifted to a scared glance.
"I... I... I don't see what you imply sir."
"Did you summon the spirit of Ms. Meyers' husband?"
The man didn't answer before tackling the agent and bailing out using the front door.
Vincent tried to catch him, but he was begining to be hungry, not enough blood left in him to accelerate to preternatural speed...
"God damn it!" He spat.

Motion picture extras in Part II
this wiki
A motion picture extra is a person who is hired to appear as part of the background of a film. These persons generally do not have a speaking role, and are seldom given screen credit. In return for a per diem payment, an extra must follow the same directions for as many takes as are necessary for a particular scene, until the film director is satisfied. When filming is done on location, rather than on a closed set, there is generally not a compensation for a person who is passing through while filming is done. As with Back to the Future, Back to the Future Part II had hundreds of extras on a variety of sets, including people dressed up in the fashions of 2015, motorcycle riders in 1985A, and a mostly new group of actors appearing in 1955 at a reshooting of the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.

I'd say she is still over 200. She won't give her size which I have done, so that tells me the only place she could wear size 6 underwear is on her head or she could use my size underwear to dust her spouse. I'm quite sure she didn't weigh 155 and get down to 105. She copies Spooky. It's freaky. SM claims her goal weight is 115 and then she crows about walking everywhere. She says her health impairments are from two years ago. They forget they both posted about health issues recently.

I feel sorry for the women ignored by their absentee, snoring husbands. They get on here late at night because they can't sleep due to their husbands and then sleep during the day and post again the next night. They follow the one poster who may or not be male like he is Charlie Manson, David Koresh or some other religious leader phony guru.
Why don't they try following the Dalai Lama and seeking peace?
It doesn't matter what you weigh, only that you love yourself.

I think a great deal of the problem is that it is so expensive to eat healthy. I went to the store this morning and even shopping carefully, it was $200.00 and I still need to pick up a few more things this particular store did not carry. The main reason I went there was because it was on my way and because it quiet in the a.m. Now, when I make my Whole Foods run, I will only have to grab fresh vegetables and fruits. I've tried making things from scratch, but who wants to simmer things all day every day. We're a prefab society. It's the packaged food and fast food meals that will be our demise.
Maybe some will tell how they lost their weight. A friend of mine went on the liquid protein diet to lose weight for her wedding. It's working. She also gets up at 4:30 a.m. to work out 5 days a week. It's not a sustainable diet, however.

If you've been told that you have multiple lung nodules after a test like an x-ray or a CT scan, it can be very frightening. What exactly are lung nodules (also called pulmonary nodules) what are some of the possible causes, and what might you expect as you work with your doctor to determine the cause?

Overview

Multiple lung nodules, in contrast to a solitary pulmonary nodule, include the finding of two or more nodules within the lungs.

Lung nodules are defined as "spots" or "lesions" on a lung scan that are 3 cm (about 1 ½ inches) or less in diameter. If an abnormality seen in the lungs is larger than this, it is called a lung mass.

Lung nodules

Causes

Unfortunately, the most common cause of multiple lung nodules is cancer that has spread (metastasized) to the lungs from other regions of the body. That said, there are many benign (non-cancerous) causes of multiple nodules as well.

Multiple nodules are more likely to be cancerous if they are greater than or equal to 1 cm in diameter (about half an inch.) Smaller nodules less than 5 mm, especially if they are found along the fissures between the lobes of the lung or along the tissue that lines the lung (the pleura) are more likely to be benign (non-cancerous.)

Some possible causes of multiple nodules include:

Malignant (Cancerous) Tumors - As noted above, metastatic cancer to the lungs from other regions of the body is the most common cause of multiple lung nodules, especially if you have a history of cancer. Nearly any cancer can spread (metastasize) to the lungs. The most common of these include breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, and bladder cancer. In addition to lung cancer, cancers such as lymphomas, and Kaposi's sarcoma, may also lead to multiple nodules.

Lymph nodes - Lymph nodes may be enlarged and show up for many reasons. They are usually located, however, not scattered within the lung tissue, but along the lining of the lungs and the fissures that separate the lungs.

Benign Tumors - Such as hamartomas. Hamartomas are benign tumors that are made up of fat, cartilage, and connective tissue—tissues that normally occur in the lungs but grow in a disorderly way. These are the most common type of benign tumor found in the lungs. Other types of benign tumors which may appear as multiple nodules include

Autoimmune - Conditions such as Wegeners granulomatosis, sarcoidosis, eosinophilic granules, and rheumatoid arthritis can appear as multiple nodules.

Infections - Several types of infections can result in the appearance of multiple nodules on a scan of the lungs. These include bacterial infections such as septic nodules (the spread of infection via the bloodstream from another area of the body), tuberculosis, and nocardiosis, fungal infections such as aspergillosis, histoplasmosis, coccidiomycosis, and cryptococcosis, and parasitic infections such as echinococcosis (hydatid cysts), and paragonimus (liver flukes).

Inflammatory (pneumoconiosis) – better known as black lung disease (coal miner's lung), silicosis.

Scars - For example, scars may form after previous severe episodes of pneumonia or after tuberculosis.

For a more comprehensive list of possible causes of lung nodules - both solitary and multiple, check out this article on the differential diagnosis of lung nodules.

How Common Are Lung Nodules?

Lung nodules are fairly common, being found on 1 in 500 chest x-rays and 1 in 100 CT scans. In one study, 51 percent of smokers aged 50 and older had lung nodules on CT scans.

Diagnosis

Since the most common cause of multiple lung nodules is cancer that has spread from other parts of the body, tests may be recommended to look for a primary cancer—that is, a cancer in another part of the body that could have spread to the lungs. Examples of these may include a mammogram to look for a breast tumor or a colonoscopy to look for a colon tumor.

Your doctor may also recommend tests to further understand the nodules that are in your lungs. These may include CT scans, MRI studies, or a PET scan. A recent small study found that a combination of CT and PET scans helped in determining the cause of multiple nodules more accurately than either of these tests alone. If the cause of your lung nodules is not obvious based on other studies, a lung biopsy may be done to get a sample of one of the lung nodules in order to determine the cause.

Other tests will depend upon the possible causes of your nodules, for example, blood tests may be ordered to evaluate for infectious and inflammatory causes.

Chances Lung Nodules Are Cancer

As noted above, if you have a history of cancer, the chance that your lung nodules are cancerous is higher. Larger lung nodules—those greater than 1 cm (or ½ inch) in diameter—are more likely to be malignant, whereas smaller nodules are more likely to be benign. If you are in good overall health and nodules are discovered incidentally (that is, accidentally) on a study done for some other reason, your nodules are more likely to be benign. Certain descriptions on x-ray studies may also suggest whether or not your nodules are likely to be cancerous. If your nodules are described as "calcified" it is more likely that they have a benign cause. In contrast, nodules described as having a "ground glass" appearance are more likely to be malignant.

If you are working with your doctor to determine if a nodule you have is cancer, you're probably very frightened and confused. It probably feels like everyone is speaking in a foreign language as well. There are several characteristics doctors look at to try to decide if a nodule is cancerous, such as whether or not it has calcifications, whether there is "cavitation" and more.

Multiple Nodules Detected on Lung Cancer Screening

what happens if lung nodules are detected on a a screening test for lung cancer and what are the chances it's cancer?

Benign vs. Malignant Tumors

If you are working with your doctor to determine if a nodule you have is cancer, you're probably very frightened and confused. It probably feels like everyone is speaking in a foreign language as well. There are several characteristics doctors look at to try to decide if a nodule is cancerous, such as whether or not it has calcifications, whether there is "cavitation" and more.

This article discusses some of the differences between benign and malignant tumors, and may help answer some of your questions as well.

Multiple Nodules in People Who Don't Smoke

(It's important to note that non-smokers can get lung cancer too, and lung cancer in never smokers is actually the 6th leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States.)

Treatment

The treatment of your nodules will, of course, depend on what they are—the cause. Benign nodules may be left alone, or treated with antiparasitic drugs if due to an infection, or with drugs to treat rheumatoid arthritis in the case of rheumatoid nodules.

If your nodules are due to the spread of cancer, the treatment of the underlying cancer will be the goal of therapy. For some nodules related to the spread of cancer, physicians are evaluating whether or not metastectomy—removing the nodules—is helpful. Procedures such as stereotactic body radiotherapy (SBRT) may be used to treat a single, and sometimes a few, metastases. (The term used only a few metastases is oligometastases.) In some cases, it's been found that this treatment can prolong survival, and in rare cases has even resulted in a cure.

Puducherry, Aug 2 (UNI) Alleging that the ruling Congress government in the Union Territory had lost the trust and support of its coalition parties, AIADMK Puducherry unit secretary and MLA A Anbazhagan, MLA, today urged Chief Minister N Rangasamy to convene a special session of the territorial Assembly to prove his majority.
Addressing a press conference here he said as the relations between Mr Rangasamy and the ministers were not cordinal, the Lt Governor should invoke the powers wrested with him to convene the Assembly session.
He alleged that because of the ''tussle'' between the Chief Minsiter and the ministers, and infighting in the Congress, about Rs 75 lakh of government money was wasted for shuttling between Puducherry and New Delhi to make allegations and counter allegations to the party High Command.
He also alleged that the administration was totally paralysed here.
Mr Anbazhagan said as many as 12,500 applications for the provision of old age and widow pensions were pending, and several welfare schemes stopped in the union territory.

B.P.P.V or benign paroxysmal positional vertigo is a condition caused by a mechanical defect in the inner ear. Calcium carbonate crystals (otoconia) which remain embedded in the utricle get dislodged due to various reasons and float freely in the semi circular canals. During head movements they stimulate the vestibular end organs and cause the sensation of vertigo. Particle repositioning techniques, such as Epley's maneuver can cure the condition. During an episode of vertigo the vagus nerve is stimulated, which in turn gives rise to symptoms like nausea , vomiting, gastric acid secretion & sometimes bowel movement. So acidity is not the cause, but the effect.

Clifford Chance secured storage company Safestore's IPO and admission to the main list, with corporate finance partner Iain Hunter leading. Safestore raised £209m and said it plans to use £35m for further growth.
Citigroup, with Merrill Lynch, were joint global coordinators and joint bookrunners, with Citigroup appointed as sole sponsor. Ashurst advised the banks, with corporate partner Nicholas Holmes leading.
The offer comprised 72.4 million ordinary shares and 14.9 million new shares sold at 240p a share. It represents a £150m return for Bridgepoint, Safestore's private equity owner, after it invested £40m in a management buyout in 2003. Bridgepoint will now sell half of its 81 per cent stake.

EPL: Top transfer news and rumours on October 23
- Chelsea captain John Terry is set to leave Stamford Bridge and Valencia have already tabled an offer for the former England skipper. The Blues are not willing to renew his contract which ends in June while the La Liga side are ready to sign Terry, 31, in January.
- Arsenal ignore contract rebel Theo Walcott but have offered contracts to other youngsters such as Alex Oxlade Chamberlian, Kieran Gibbs and Emmanuel Frimpong. Liverpool, Manchester City and Chelsea are monitoring the situation with the England winger. The Gunners are also confident that right-back Bacary Sagna will stay but Inter Milan are linked with the 29-year-old French international.
- Shakthar Donetsk forward Willian has hinted a move to Chelsea during the January transfer window. The Brazilian tormented the Blues defence during their 2-1 win over the reigning champions on Tuesday night. However, London rivals Spurs have also been linked to the 25-year-old who is valued at £25 million.
- Manchester City target Daniele De Rossi is now chased by Real Madrid. The Italy international, who has reportedly fallen out with Roma current coach Zdenek Zeman, is Real's prime target during the January transfer window.
- Porto star Joao Moutinho is all set to snub Tottenham Hotspur during the winter transfer window to join cash-rich club Paris Saint-Germain. Spurs had failed to sign the 26-year-old playmaker despite making a huge £22m offer. The deal had broken due to the players wage demands.
- Stoke City are eyeing a move for Southampton striker Rickie Lambert in the January transfer window. The deal could see out-of-favour Potters striker Kenwyne Jones join the Saints.
- LA Galaxy and American striker Landon Donovan are set to reject a loan deal with Everton and opt to travel the globe or even consider retirement.
- Spur manager Andre Villas-Boas will not allow striker Emmanuel Adebayor, who has not started a game this season, to leave the club in January.
- Ashley Cole is being targetted by big spenders across Europe. Cash-rich clubs from Spain, Italy and France are believed to be interested in Cole, 31, who rejected a one-year deal with Chelsea.

On Friday of last week, the FTSE 100 took a plunge down to 4365 area, but showed immense resilience by climbing back up to close the week at 4403 – above our technical support level.
Since then the FTSE 100 has built some foundations for a rally back up to our technical target level of 4680, via some interim resistance at 4500 and 4600. The market is still within the bands of its 12-month upward trend, and therefore we remain bullish of the FTSE 100 until support levels are breached.
The FTSE 250 however paints a different picture, being down 6% from recent highs, versus the FTSE 100 which is only down 3% from recent highs. The 250 has also broken below a significant support level at 6125, which is 100 points higher than Wednesday's close of 6027. Target levels for the 250 are initially 5800 and then 5650, with the 6125 level now becoming a resistance level should the market rally.
An important factor for the coming week is the Dow's behaviour around the psychological 10,000 level, along with the Nasdaq's attraction to the 1900 level. We all know that the UK sneezes when the US catches a cold!

WA Liberals in disarray
Tony Jones speaks with Noel Crichton-Browne, former Federal Liberal senator and reputed party power-broker.
Compere: Tony Jones
Reporter: Tony Jones
TONY JONES: Noel Crichton-Browne, what do you think of this deal stitched up today by Richard Court?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE, FORMER WA LIBERAL SENATOR: Well it does tell you that the party clearly takes the view that there's nobody within the present parliamentary Liberal Party capable of being the future leader.
I think it's unfortunate that the members of Parliament had to attend the party meeting this morning only having read it in the newspaper some hours earlier that the circumstances which they were to be confronted with were such as they were to be confronted with.
TONY JONES: What's it done to the party, do you think?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: I think it's deeply divided the party.
The fact that Richard Court himself was only returned on the vote of 17 against 13 from Colin Barnett tells you that the party is deeply divided both emotionally, philosophically and spiritually.
TONY JONES: It's a very difficult question to answer but what do you think the public is going to think about this?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: Well, it was Peter Costello who recently described Julie Bishop as a bishop about to become a cardinal and she's now a bishop about to become a parish priest.
They must be wondering why it is the Liberal Party has to bring somebody back from Canberra, who's done less than one term, she is politically immature and parachute her into the Liberal Party to find somebody half respectable to run what's left of the Opposition.
TONY JONES: You're clearly saying you don't think she's the right leader?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: No I am not saying that at all.
She doesn't have the experience .
Julie's one of those people who loves to be loved and to be Leader of the Opposition you have to be very tough, insensitive and uncaring about what people say about you.
She'll find that hard.
But on the other hand she's an attractive candidate for the position.
She's intelligent and she's a good media performer.
I'm not certain that's enough.
But it certainly will add, enhance her prospects on the short-term of being attractive to the public.
TONY JONES: Is there going to be a sense in this that she's parachuting out of the Government where she was considered to be a rising star?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: Well of course so.
I mean, she saw herself until very recently as a future Senior Minister in the Federal Liberal Government.
She's now leaving that to go to the backwater of a dispirited, disheartened and disillusioned and disappointed Opposition that's had its worst defeat in the history of the Liberal Party and I don't recall an Opposition leader who took the position over the day after the election ever seeing through to the position of Premiership.
So it's rather remarkable that she's taken the course of action she has, although she hasn't completely made her mind up, she says.
But what it does say is that she believes what everybody else believes and that is John Howard and the Liberal Party will be utterly and totally destroyed at the next election.
TONY JONES: Is that because of the party disunity or because of the general feeling as you perceive it in the community against the Government?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: You mean federally?
TONY JONES: Federally.
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: I think that the people are unhappy with Howard's performance, I think they're unhappy with his insensitivity, I think they're unhappy with the fact that he's incapable of offering any empathy, his position on petrol might be right, but his message is utterly barren in terms of communicating a care or a concern or an understanding of the concerns of the people of Australia.
TONY JONES: He was at great pains to say that this Western Australian vote was actually decided on State issues.
You take issue with that, I'd say.
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: He would say that, wouldn't he?
Of course it included the GST and of course it included petrol and of course it included the business activity statement.
These people were prepared to kick - in WA - the first Liberal Government that came along, and that happened to be Richard Court.
That's not to say they would have made a difference but certainly they compounded the result.
TONY JONES: How is the party going to pick itself up in the middle of this crisis, I suppose, and organisationally fight a Federal election?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: Well, the party, as I say, is disheartened, dispirited, disillusioned and greatly disappointed.
I think that the enthusiasm and the energy and the pizzaz that's needed to run a good robust campaign is not there at the present time.
I think that you'll find in WA at least that the Liberal Party will be going through a very bad low at the time of the next Federal election and I expect a very bad result in WA.
TONY JONES: Briefly, how do you think the One Nation vote is going to play out in WA?
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: Well, at the last State election, in spite of John Howard and Kim Beazley wishing to thank the Greens for the result, One Nation were responsible for every seat that the Liberal Party lost, save for six.
And the One Nation attracted a vote of 20% on average in all the seats that they stood for.
I suspect, unless Pauline Hanson falls over between now and tomorrow morning, which she's capable of doing, that One Nation will have a very significant effect in WA.
TONY JONES: We'll have to leave it there.
Noel Crichton-Browne, thanks for joining us on Lateline.
NOEL CRICHTON-BROWNE: Thank you.

HTML5 takes a much more flexible approach than XHTML did. HTML5 is designed with the idea that authors have been writing HTML in many different ways over the years and there are zillions of web pages out there that don't adhere to the strict XHTML standards. Rather than render those page useless, let's just relax the standard a bit (well, a whole lot). They call this "paving the cowpaths."
As an example of this flexibility, all of the following are permitted in HTML5:
As the above shows:
This new flexibility could lead to a bit of chaos on your development team. Different HTML authors will take different approaches. Our recommendation is that you choose one approach and stick to it. In this course, for example, we use the following guidelines:
Again, it doesn't matter so much which guidelines you choose, but it'll make your life easier if you specify some. If you're a big XML fan, you're more than welcome to stick with XML syntax described above and create XHTML5 pages.

This Brilliant Water Filter Made From A Tree Branch Could Help Millions Of People
good to know. I could rig up a large funnel from a 5 gallon carboid easily enough, use a fairly long hose, for greater pressure, and make a cheap, easy filter for very litle cost.
I posted this response on the Bushcraft USA forum and I'll repost it here...
This sounds like a good way to die covered in your own feces. Boil, filter or chemically disinfect if at all possible. I had crypto once and would not wish it on my worst enemy. Think back to your worst case of the flu and add the worst case of the shits ever; that's crypto.
No way you can even take care of yourself let alone move out of harms way. I ended up in the ER getting 3 bags of saline through a IV before it was over. I caught it from a municipal water source that was not up to snuff. Drinking the water in 3rd world countries is a fast and ugly way to die.
I find it hard to "like" that.
I like the point @whynot made..... better to do it right than to take a chance you may pay dearly for.
Just.a fyi read.. You practice what you have researched and know work's. As I said, interesting read. I got something from our small town. Water. Thr MIL and I both had to switch to bottled water for 6 months until the rural water supply fixed what was wrong, but nothing was wrong. Strong chlorine smell and they started flushing the pipeline regularly.
sent from inside the fire tornado
I'm going to play devil's advocate here. I completely and totally agree with Whynot's opinion on the matter, BUT, after taking microbiology last semester I can see how this system works and it is THEORETICALLY sound.
The Cryptosporidium protozoa is not a bacteria, but instead is classified as a protozoa- a microscopic animal (whereas bacteria is actually microscopic plants) that gets by our intense stomach acid defenses because they form cysts. Cysts are like a tough covering that protects the protozoa while it is dormant. They can float around like that almost indefinitely until they encounter conditions that allow them to regrow back into their trophozoid form- the cryptosporidium protozoa. This will usually happen in the small intestine. The little ba$tards then attack and eat your epithelial tissue (thin interior lining) and create havoc- hence the diarrhea that your body creates to try to flush them away.
Due to the nature of the protozoan, they are very similar in genetic makeup to us (more so than bacteria, because they are plants) because we are both animals, antibiotics will have no effect whatsoever. Your immune system must be up to snuff to get rid of it.
The crux of the argument- the pine branch filter was tested to a particulate size of 70 nanometers. The protozoan Cryptosporidium are actually rather big (even in the cyst form) and are MUCH larger than bacteria. The average Cryptosporidium is 4000 nanometers in diameter, and in no way would be able to fit through the xylem columns.
NOT to say that nature can't find a way to kill you! This filter would have no effect on viruses. All viruses could theoretically sail right on through this filter medium! Remember, many viruses can protect themselves by becoming spores similar to cysts, and extremely hard to kill. Only boiling or autoclave will get rid of them.
I think the handling process with this type of filter will have to be very precise. If you mess up and use the dirty water tube the next day instead of using the clean water tube, you will have a very good possibility of getting something through and contaminating your water. This would be through human error, not from the filter itself.
I would only use fresh branches and only use it for one day. Cut and use it, not cut and store for later use. The xylem cells that make up the columns won't last long without nutrients. How long? I don't know, and I wouldn't want to test it to find out. I would use it and toss it, making sure the clean water tube and affiliated equipment (clamp, bottle, or bladder) do NOT come in physical contact with the dirty water equipment OR my hands after handling them.
I think soap would be a good thing to have! Keep it clean.
Since we know that certain wood is capable of filtering down to 70 nanometers, just look up the sizes of certain local bacteria and protozoa to see if they are small enough to pass through. Then you look up the individual bacteria's ID50 to see how many of the little microbes are needed to make you sick.
Some bacteria only take ONE individual bacteria organism to make you sick, others require a bunch. Each one reacts with the human body in a different way. 98% of naturally found bacteria is not physically equipped to attack the human body, but the few that do are nasty.
Again, I am not trying to make light of the situation. I'm just trying to explain the science behind the findings. And yes, I do now plan to try a test run. I'll talk with some of my professors to see where I can get dye with a definite sized particles to experiment. Not all wood is the same, and wood from the same tree may not be up to snuff. A green branch with no dry areas or cracks is where I would start.
I put this out, as a Reference Point.... Alaskachick (Momma) is a Team Member, and now Staff, with a Dr's w/o Boarders. Her team goes to Africa every other Year. She also Teaches, groups of volunteers, that are being formed into Teams, at their Training Site, In New York State. One of the very FIRST Training Sessions, is how to use a Berkey Water Filter System. This is the ONE MANDATORY System, that gets deployed with EVERY Team. It can turn, the most contaminated Swamp Water, into Drinkable Water. It just doesn't work, if the Health Pros are to sick, to help the folks they were sent to Help. Also doesn't endear confidence with the locals. I wouldn't trust anything else, with my Drinking Water, If I was in an UnKnown, or unfamiliar location. ..... YMMV....
I don't think anyone is proposing this method as the preferred water filter, where options are available. But as a survival technique, I think it has merit. It's another one of those tips to tuck away in the back of your mind for use in extremis. I think most of us have known that we could draw water out of a grape vine, or many hardwood trees, in a survival situation. That water is safe to drink because of the plants' natural ability to filter out contaminants. This filter, it seems to me, is just an example of that ability.

What is a skin?
Our skins are sticker-like in form. Our high-quality vinyl material allows for easy application, and removal. Our skins are intended to enhance the natural physical appearance of the device in its innate form; because let's admit, they're beautiful au natural. Our skins do not add any volume to the overall look and feel of your device; rather they offer a simple (and did we say chic?) form or protection.
Should I opt for the Clear Hard Case protection for my MacBook?
If you're someone who frequently carries your MacBook with you (maybe you're a student or work remotely from your MacBook), we recommend selecting the Skin + Hard Case option as this offers a more heavy type of protection. The Clear case is meant to snap over your skin. It protects against scuffs and scratches that are almost inevitable when you're on-the-go.
What material is your Clear Hard Case made from?
Our MacBook cases are constructed from light-weight polycarbonate (more commonly known as plastic). Our polycarbonate is very dense, making the case strong and durable, yet maintaining a sleek and elegant look for users. Again, the clear case is designed to snap over any of our skins. It can be either purchased with the skin or separately should you change your mind.
Will the skin damage my MacBook?
No, our skins are made with the highest adhesive on the market, 3M Controltac. This is what separates us from our competitors. Our skins do not leave behind any sort of residue or film upon removal. In fact, the skin actually aids in the protection of your device exterior, and does so in style.
How do I find my exact MacBook model?
A common question! Simply click the Apple logo in the top left corner of your screen, then select About This Mac, finally click More Info and your MacBook model should display.
How do I care for my skin?
Any surface stains or markings may be removed with a soft surface, dampened. Avoid using any chemically based cleaners as this may damage the skin, not to mention the device. For difficult stains, we recommend using a very small amount mild soap and warm water. Dampen the cloth then gently wipe away the unwanted markings.
Why does my MacBook skin have cutouts in each corner?
MacBook Pro Non-Retina models in all sizes require these cutouts to ensure a perfect fit. Because the outer edges of the MacBook Pro Non-Retina models are rounded, these small incisions are required for the skin to lay flat. MacBook Air and MacBook Pro Retina models in all sizes do not have these cutouts, as their edges are far less rounded than the MacBook Pro Non-Retina models. Without these incisions the skin would wrinkle in each corner. Wrinkling may lead to the skin lifting if your MacBook is subject to heavy use.
Why isn't there a skin for the bottom of my MacBook?
We're going to get all technical on you, so bear with us as this is very important to understand. The entire aluminum lower case is a component of the machine's cooling system, absorbing heat from the very hot internal components and releasing it by convection to the air outside and by radiation to other things outside. A skin impairs radiational cooling and prevents convective cooling from the underside of the laptop, forcing the single internal fan to work harder (i.e., spin faster and more noisily) to keep the laptop at a safe temperature, and also causing the keyboard and wrist rest surfaces to be hotter than they otherwise would. Operating the laptop in this condition with a high level of heat in extended periods will likely decrease the life of your MacBook. For this reason, we have chosen to not produce a bottom skin.
What skin should I purchase if I have an original Unibody MacBook?
Original Unibody MacBook's are nearly identical in size to MacBook Pro Non-Retina models. Therefore, you will make this selection when buying your skin, MacBook Pro Non-Retina. Please be advised however our Hard Case protection option does not work with this model due to the slight difference in size.
What material is your iPhone case made from?
Our iPhone cases are constructed from high-quality polycarbonate (more commonly known as plastic). Our polycarbonate is very dense, making the case strong and durable, yet maintaining a sleek and elegant look for users. Our cases are finished with rubber oil, which makes them soft and silk-like to the touch.
How do I Care for my iPhone Case?
Any surface stains or markings may be removed with a soft surface, dampened. Avoid using any chemically based cleaners as this may damage the case, not to mention the device. For difficult stains, we recommend using a very small amount mild soap and warm water. Dampen the cloth then gently wipe away the unwanted markings.
Why do iPad's come with top and bottom skins and MacBook's only a top skin?
Unlike MacBook's, iPad's do not have rubber feet on the bottom/back side of their exterior to protect the surface. Furthermore, iPad's are often used as portable handheld devices, whereas MacBook's are portable yet often placed on a table or flat surface in use. For these reasons, we have chosen to include a top and bottom skin for iPad's, and only a top skin for MacBook's.
What material is your Large Reversible Cross Blanket made from?
Our Large Reversible Cross Blanket is made from 100 percent luxurious imported cotton. With a fabric weight of 380 GSM (grams per square meter), our blanket is the perfect addition to any rainy day or chilly night in. The Large Reversible Cross Blanket measures 160 by 240 centimeters.
How do I wash my Large Reversible Cross Blanket?
Machine-wash your Large Reversible Cross Blanket in cold water on the delicate cycle. We recommend washing your blanket by itself. Do not use bleach to treat stains or for any other purpose. Should you wish to tumble your blanket after being washed, we suggest only doing so on low heat for about 15 minutes. Hang or lay flat your blanket to dry completely. We do not recommend ironing your blanket. If you must, use a low heat setting.
Why don't I have a tracking number with my order? How can I get a tracking number?
You most likely selected standard shipping. There is no tracking number feature included in this option. There is an option to track your order; however, in this case you would have had to select the international air or US with tracking option (which costs a little extra). Select this option if you would like your order tracked.
