We develop artisan businesses through fair trade,
Noonday Collection is a member of the Fair Trade Federation. We are fully committed to following the principles of fair trade in how we do business. We also ensure that our Artisan Business Partners follow the principles of fair trade in how they do business.
At Noonday, our commitment to fair trade means much more than simply meeting a list of standards – it means building strong relationships with Artisan Businesses so we can make an impact together. This commitment also means actively engaging in the fair trade community and publicly affirming our commitment to fair trade.
We design our collection in collaboration with talented Artisans around the world. Artisans use
indigenous materials and traditional skills to create modern, fashionable designs.
In Guatemala, we partner with an Artisan Business that specializes in hand-beaded jewelry. The owner of the business is Cristobal, an Artisan Entrepreneur who is also the talented designer behind one of our most beloved bracelets - the La Noche. Inspired by this customer favorite, our design team in Austin collaborated with Cristobal to create a piece that translates the La Noche's elegance and shine into a luxurious bib necklace, La Luna. By fusing modern design and traditional artisan techniques, we bring you pieces that capture the beauty of partnership.
We offer no-interest loans and advance payments that provide Artisan Businesses
with the cash flow they need to grow sustainably.
In 2011, we met a group of 11 women in Rwanda who were struggling to provide for their families. We partnered with women across the United States to send these Rwandan women to sewing school. To enable them to launch their business, we purchased their first sewing machines and offered no-interest loans. Over the last four years, we have provided responsible financing that has empowered them to grow sustainably. Today, these women are proud business owners who are able to provide for their families and give back by creating dignified jobs for more women in their community.
We are committed to helping Artisan Businesses grow, investing to develop their capacity through design, operations and production training. We equip entrepreneurs to impact their communities by tailoring training to their unique strengths and challenges.
In Ethiopia, we partner with an Artisan Business that provides holistic support and job opportunities to vulnerable women involved in the sex trade, enabling them to start new lives. We have partnered with this business since 2013, originally to make intricate woven scarves. When we discovered that many of the Artisans were struggling to learn how to weave scarves by hand, we began to look for new opportunities. Beginning in 2014, we partnered with the business to provide training and capacity building, enabling them to build a jewelry workshop from the ground up – and to create dignified jobs for more women.
We build business partnerships based on mutual accountability, respect and trust. We strive to make a long-term commitment to Artisan Entrepreneurs, empowering them to earn a sustainable income and create dignified jobs in their communities.
We believe that building strong partnerships is key to creating a lasting impact. Around the world, many talented Artisan Entrepreneurs are unable to grow their businesses because they do not have orders they can count on. We have been purchasing from an Artisan Business in Vietnam since spring 2014. The owner of the business, David, has been living and working in Vietnam since 1995. David's business invests in developing local Artisan leaders with the goal of empowering them to independently run their operations one day. We have partnered with the business to expand its jewelry making capacity and encourage collaboration between Artisans in different villages.
The Fair Trade Federation (FTF) is an organization that brings together 250 businesses and non-profits that share a commitment to the principles of fair trade.
Noonday Collection became a member of the FTF in 2014 and is actively engaged in the fair trade community in the United States and around the world.
To become a member of the FTF, Noonday Collection successfully completed an intensive screening process that required us to be fully transparent about how we work with our Artisan Business Partners. We have demonstrated how we follow the principles of fair trade and how we evaluate and monitor our Artisan Business Partners to ensure they do the same. The FTF has affirmed that we following the principles of fair trade.
The Fair Trade Federation principles have been created using the global principles of the World Fair Trade Organization as their foundation. Noonday Collection is committed to following these principles in all aspects of our business.
We require the Artisan Businesses from which we source products to meet our minimum requirements in how they do business. These requirements are based on the principles of fair trade.
Many of our partners are members of the Fair Trade Federation, World Fair Trade Organization, or other fair trade membership organizations. We regularly visit these businesses to ensure they are meeting these standards, including paying fair wages, providing safe and healthy working conditions, and prohibiting child and forced labor.
We collaborate with Artisan Businesses to set prices that allow them to grow sustainably and pay Artisans fair wages. We do not set Artisan wages. Rather, we ensure that Artisans earn wages that are fair based on the cost of living in their country. A fair wage is established through a transparent process and is mutually agreed upon through dialogue with Artisan Entrepreneurs and Artisans. This process is designed to increase Artisans' incomes, ensure sustainable livelihoods and empower communities.

ORDER J. K. Mathur, J.
1. This appeal is directed against an order passed by the 12th Bench of City Civil Court, Calcutta, allowing the application under Section 144 of C.P.C. and directing the possession of suit premises to be delivered to the applicant/respondents.
2. The appellant before us filed a suit for recovery of possession of the disputed premises under S. 6 of the Specific Relief Act, claiming that he was a tenant in possession in the said premises and that he had been forcibly dispossessed by the defendant/respondents, who claimed to have purchased the property from the original landlord Fide Hussain Ahmed Bhoi & Zainal Baid Ahmed Bhoi, a firm, this suit being No. 107 of 1989 was decreed ex parte on 4-6-1990. On the strength of this decree, the appellant obtained possession on 22-5-1992. The respondents thereupon moved an application for setting aside of the ex parte decree. This was allowed and the ex parte decree was set aside on 5-5-1993. The respondents thereafter initiated the proceedings under S. 144, C.P.C. and sought restitution of the possession of property on the ground that the ex parte decree on the basis of which the appellant had taken possession having been set aside, they were entitled to be restored the possession of the premises, to be put in the position which they occupied before passing to the said decree. Plaintiff/ appellant got the suit dismissed on 22-7-1993 during pendency of the proceeding for restitution.
3. This application was contested. In a written objection filed on behalf of the appellant, it was asserted inter alia, that the application was not maintainable and the suit having been dismissed for non-prosecution on 22-7-1993, the miscellaneous proceedings under S. 144 also could not continue. Certain other objections were also raised in the course of the argument before the Ld. Trial Court. It was found that the provisions of S. 144 were applicable in the present case and that the plea that the respondent was in wrongful possession was not available in the proceedings under S. 144, C..P.C.
4. The application was, therefore, allowed and possession ordered to be delivered to respondents.
5. In this Court availability of proceedings under S. 144 in cases where decree was set aside in miscellaneous proceedings under Order, rule 13, C.P.C. was not challenged, in view of the amendment to -- C.P.C. effected in 1977. However, it was asserted that the proceedings under S. 144, C.P.C. have to take into account the equities and also the fact that the appellant was in rightful possession as a tenant and that the respondents were trespassers. This ought to have been taken into account by the Ld. Trial Judge and in not doing so, he has committed an error of law which has vitiated the order. It was also asserted that after termination of the suit from which the proceedings under S. 144 arose, the proceedings could not continue and would lapse with the termination of the suit.
6. Section 144(1), C.P.C. runs as follows :--
"Application for restitution:-- (1) where and in so far as a decree (or an order) is varied or reversed in any appeal, revision or other proceeding or is set aside or modified in any suit instituted for the purpose, the Court which passed the decree or order shall, on the application of any party entitled to any benefit by way of restitution or otherwise, cause such restitution to be made as well, so far as may be, place the parties in the position which they would have occupied but for such decree (or order) or such part thereof as has been varied, reversed, set aside or modified and, for this purpose, the Court may make any orders, including orders for the refund of costs and for the payment of interest, damages, compensation and mesne profits, which are properly consequential on such variation, reversal, setting aside or modification of the decree or order.
Explanation:-- For the purposes of sub-s. (1), the expression "Court which passed the decree or order" shall be deemed to include -
(a) where the decree or order has been varied or reversed in exercise of appellate or revisional jurisdiction, the Court of first instance;
(b) where the decree or order has been set aside by a separate suit, the Court of first instance which passed such decree or order;
(c) where the Court of first instance has ceased to exist or has ceased to have jurisdiction to execute it, the Court which, if the suit wherein the decree or order was passed were instituted at the time of making the application for restitution under this section, would have jurisdiction to try such suit".
7. A plain reading of these provisions will show that if a person has obtained any benefit in pursuance of a decree on order, on reversal variation setting aside or modification of that decree or order in a manner that he is no longer entitled to that benefit, the Court will ask him to restore the benefit obtained by him under the decree or order which was set aside or reversed, varied or modified.
8. The Ld. Trial Court also applied only these principles when he found that the appellant had obtained possession of the disputed premises in pursuance of ex parte decree and that ex parte decree having been set aside, he was no longer entitled to retain possession and would therefore be liable to give back the possession to the respondents who were dispossessed by execution of the decree.
9. However, on behalf of the appellant, it has been urged that these are not the only factors which ought to have been taken into account and in case where the person having taken possession is prima facie entitled to the possession while the person seeking restitution is patently a trespasser this should be also be taken into account and restitution refused.
10. In support of this contention Shri Roy Chowdhury relies on a decision of Madras High Court reported in ILR XXIII, Madras 306, Dora Sami Ayyar v. Annasami Ayyar.
11. In this case, a suit was filed by the respondents claiming that they were trustees of the property of the temple while the appellant defendant who had also been a trustee had been removed from his Office by the committee exercising control over the temple property. He, however, continued to interfere in the conduct of the management of the temple. An injunction was sought against him in a suit which was decreed by the trial court but the High Court subsequently reversed the decree and the suit was dismissed. The application for restitution was there upon moved by the appellant on the ground that the property of which he was in posses-
sion had been taken in the proceedings of the court purporting to have been issued in execution of the decree.
12. The application for restitution was contested inter alia on the ground that during the pendency of the proceedings one Siva Sami Ayyar had been vaiidly appointed as an additional trustee and had taken over the properties of the trust in his possession and the application for restoration could not be preferred against him as he was not a party to the original proceedings.
13. The Court turned down the argument that granting of the restoration is a discretionary remedy. It was held that it was the duty of the Court to enforce restitution unless it was shown that it would he clearly contrary to the real justice of the case.
14. This dictum was relied upon to urge that restitution is not such a statutory remedy in which equities cannot be seen and a person has to be given the possession only because the decree has been reversed.
15. A similar observation in the case of Lal Bhagwant Singh v. Hari Kishen Das, was also relied upon. The Supreme Court held that it is the duty of the Court to order restitution where a party has received benefit of an erroneous judgment unless it would be clearly contrary to the interests of justice.
16. Another case relied upon by the Ld. Counsel for the appellant is S. N. Banerjee v. The Kuchwar Lime & Stone Co. Ltd., reported in (1942) 46 CWN-374. In this case the possession had been taken on a finding that the appellants were guilty of contempt._ When they sought restitution it was found that Section 144 did not apply. The Privy Council refused to deliver the possession in exercise of power under Section 151, C.P.C. in view of the fact that there was a clear judgment of the Privy Council that the appellants were trespassers while the respondent company had a valid lease for property. In view of the circumstances the possession was refused.
17. In this case the provisions of S. 144 were not being considered and also there was a judgment of the Privy Council itself that appellants who were claiming restoration under inherent powers were trespassers. In the use of the inherent powers the equities play much more role than they do in exercising of power under statutory provisions. In exercise of inherent powers the primary object is to meet out complete justice between the parties, and to prevent the abuse of the process of the Court. The consequences of restitution would therefore be important determinants to see that the order does not result in unentitled gain to any party.
18. In the present case the proceedings are being taken under statutory provisions of Section 144 and not under Section 151 and the statutory determinants shall be necessary considerations.
19. In another Full-Bench decision of the Madras High Court; Pappu Reddier v. P.S.V.Rm. Ramanath Iyer, , relied upon by Sri Roy Chowdhury, it was held as follows at page 46 :
"Before we refer to the decisions on the subject, it will be appropriate to refer to the principle which underlies the granting of restitution. It is one of he highest duties of the Court to see that no party suffers by any erroneous act done by it. On the reversal of a judgment law places an obligation on the party who received a benefit under that erronueous judgment to make restitution to the other party of what he had lost. The Court possesses the power, a power which is both inherent and statutory to enforce that obligation. But the mere restoration of what a party lost under a decree or order which is later set aside might not secure 'to him complete justice. Restitution of property so called is restoration to the original state which would include reparation for the injury done. Section 144, C.P.C. recognises this when it says that for the purpose of placing the panics in the position which they would have occupied but for the decree that had been set aside, the Court would have powers to direct payment of interest, damages, mesne profits, etc. Essentially, therefore, restitution is doing justice between the two parties".
"Restitution conceived in that light namely doing justice between the parties, will necessarily have to depend on the facts and circumstances of each case and cannot be reduced to the form of an inflexible rule that Court should have regard only to the detriment suffered by one party and not to the position of the other. Indeed the very statement of the principle above there is a correlation of the injury to the benefit secured under the erroneous judgment".
20. Emphasis was laid by the Ld. Counsel for appellant on the dictum that complete justice has to be done between the parties while enforcing the provision Section 144, C.P.C. and take into account fact and cicumstances of the case. In this case the dispute related to the interest demanded on the amount of money deposited by the petitioner in the Court in execution of a decree which was varied in appeal. The Opposite Party contested by saying that he had not taken any benefit as having not withdrawn the amount from the Court and was therefore not liable to pay the interest. The decision therefore relates itself to the extent of reparation and not to the entitlement to restitution.
21. A perusal of these cases does show that there may be certain occasions where the grant of the benefit under a decree and its reversal may not be only determinants always.
22. There may be some rare occasions where other factors may also have to be taken into account by the Court in determining entitlement to restitution. This question however, need not be gone into in detail to determine the extent to which the circumstance may be considered in view of the specific contention raised on behalf of the appellants that he being a tenant and having been unlawfully dispossessed should be the factors taken into account to refuse restitution which question alone arises for determination in this appeal.
23. Before this question is considered, it may be pointed out that, it is not disputed between the parties that the appellant was a tenant of the property. The contention of the appellant is that he was forcibly dispossessed while the respondents, who are the owners of the property contend that the appellant had surrendered his tenancy long before the alleged dispossession.
24. The appellant instituted a suit under Section 6 of the Specific Relief Act to regain the possession of the property on the allegation that he had been forcibly dispossessed, having been in possession of the property till the date of such alleged dispossession. He, however, withdrew the suit after the ex parte decree was set aside.
25. In the aforesaid circumstances, the appellant avoided a decision in the regular forum which would have definitely decided whether appellant was actually in possession, as claimed by him or had already surrendered the possession to the respondents. Instead of haying those questions decided in the appropriate suit filed for the purpose, he wants this question to be considered in these proceedings, having withdrawn the suit.
26. The extent of enquiry under Section 144 cannot be enlarged to usurp the jurisdiction of the regular court, especially when that court had the question raised before it by parties but was not permitted to adjudicate finally. This Court cannot enter upon rights of the parties which were in fact the subject matters of the suit and decide them in the proceedings under Section 144, C.P.C., in the circumstances of the present case where the appellant pressing for the decision of this question has avoided a decision by a competent Court and also because the parties still have the forum of the regular suit to have their rights determined. In these circumstances, the proceedings under Section 144, cannot be converted into omnibus proceedings while they are meant only to consider entitlement to restitution in terms, of the provisions of law.
27. This proposition is also supported by the decision in Dura Sami Ayyar (supra) :
"Suppose, for instance, the party wanting the restitution chooses to institute a fresh suit for the purpose, as he is entitled to do in the absence of a statutory prohibition on the point, instead of pursuing the other remedy open to him, viz, the less costly and more expeditious process of applying for restitution in the very suit in which the decision in consequence of which restitution is claimed was passed. In such fresh suit the defendant pleads that the right to the property claimed has been all along vested in himself and that the plaintiff never had any title to it, there is no authority, that I am aware of for laying down that he would be estopped from raising such a plea, that he must surrender the property in that suit and then bring an action to recover it. To hold so would of course lead to unnecessary multiplicity of suits. But whether this opinion is correct or not, it must, I think, be conceded that if restitution is claimed in proceedings commenced by an application the party opposing the claim will not be entitled to the same latitude that think is allowable to a defendant in a suit brought for restitution. A different view will scarcely be consistent with the limited scope of the proceedings which ex hypothesis are taken in subordination to the decision in consequence whereof the restitution is claimed and without reference to the actual rights of the parlies except so far as they can be gathered from that decision itself."
28. The proceedings under Section 144 have limited scope and, therefore, we find that it would be impermissible to allow either of the parties to prove their rights as they stood before the order of reversal was passed.
29. It was also urged by the Ld. Counsel for the appellant that in appropriate cases this Court has even granted mandatory injunction to restitute the possession to a tenant if he has been illegally dispossessed. For this proposition reliance was placed on the India Cable Co. Ltd. v. Smt. Sumita Chakraborty, .
30. The equities which are considered by the Court for injunction are not exactly the same as are considered in determining the rights under Section 144, C.P.C. This case cannot therefore help the appellant.
31. We, therefore, find that in this case the question of the appellant being a tenant and having been dispossessed forcibly are the questions, which could not have been validly considered in determining an application under Section 144, C.P.C.
32. The other question raised by the ld. Counsel for the appellant was that the proceedings under Section 144 are in the nature of interlocutory proceedings arising out of the main suit and they would come to an end on determination of the suit itself.
33. These arguments were very ably advanced but we are unable to convince ourselves of their validity.
34. The very first reason is that Section 144, the provisions of which have been cited above does not intrinsically contain any words or clauses suggestive of their being available only during the pendency of a suit. In fact, the provisions were not referred to suggest any intrinsic material for such interpretation. In absence of any such meanings attributable to any part of this provision, it cannot be held that it is a remedy available only during pendency of a suit.
35. Even where a possible interpretation of a provision suggested is one which will attribute such a meaning, the Court will not construe the provision in a manner which will lead to inconvenience, hardship or injustice. (See Tirath Singh v. Bachittar Singh, . Commission of Income-tax v. J. H. Gotla Yedgin, AIR 1985, SC 1968 : 1985 Tax LR 1443).
36. If the suggested interpretation is adopted the respondents would be driven to initiate a suit again for the same relief, which suit would also be of controversial maintainability in view of Section 144(2) which bars suits, where a relief is obtainable under Section 144. Admittedly the proceedings lay under Section 144, when they were instituted. In view of this multiplicity of proceedings, inconvenience and a probability of respondents being left without a remedy will cause hardship to them. Such an interpretation would be eschewed by the Court.
37. No provision of law providing a right, substantive or processual can be so interpret-
ed as to permit it being frustrated by the person against whom it is available, over the conduct of whom the holder of the right has no control. In the present case the appellant himself brought an end to the suit, and may not be permitted to say that it would non-suit the respondents.
38. Another fallacy in the contention can be seen by the fact that it was not disputed that an application for restitution would lie where a benefit is realised in execution of decree which is set aside in appeal, in which situation no suit would be pending even at the time the cause to claim restitution arises. If the arguments of the appellant are accepted the proceedings for restitution would be still born as they would stand lapsed on conclusion of the suit.
39. Indeed there is nothing in the provisions of Section 144 to suggest that the order under which a benefit is gained should have been passed only in a suit. If an Order has been passed in any proceedings not being a suit and benefit obtained on its compliance, the proceedings subsequently initiated for restitution may not be relatable to any suit, and the hypothesis that such proceedings would be co-extensive with a suit, so deftly conjured on behalf of the appellant would have no legs to stand on.
40. When a decree passed in one suit is set aside in another suit filed for that purpose, the cause to claim restitution of any benefit obtained under the decree set aside will arise only when both the suits stand terminated and no application can possibly be moved during the pendency of either of them. Yet this is explicitly provided to be a situation where an application under Section 144 would lie, negativing the appellants contention according to which in such a situation, no such proceedings can be taken,
41. The argument, therefore, does not get support either from the provisions of the Section 144 or on consideration of the possible consequences.
42. These proceedings being interlocutory proceedings and, therefore, being liable to lapse on determination of suit is also not a tenable argument.
43. Interlocutory proceedings have been given to be the preparatory stages of an action accruing between the originating summons or the issue of a writ and the trial of resulting issues, according to the Dictionary of Law' by L.B. Curzon (Pitman publishing) 4th Ed.
44. Some proceedings are meant either to be steps in aid of a suit or are aimed at protecting rights of a party during pendency of a suit. The very purpose of the proceedings is such that they need not be continued after the suit terminates. These are the interlocutory proceedings which need not, and do not survive the suit in which they arise. There may yet be other proceedings which may arise out of a suit but the culmination of the suit has no logical impact on the continuance of the proceedings. Proceedings under Section 144 are meant to effectuate rights of a person who has been deprived of them in pursuance of an order passed in a suif or proceedings. The right of restitution is not limited in its availability to the period during which the suit or proceeding is pending nor would it therefore perish with the suit. The proceedings which are meant only to make the right effective cannot by any stretch of logic be dependent on proceedings is suit and stop midway before making the right available.
45. The proceedings are not step in aid of the suit, nor are meant to make arrangement pendente iite, and therefore do not lapse with the conclusion of the suit.
46. It is the nature of the proceedings which will determine their surviving the suit, and not the name that is given to them.
47. We therefore find that conclusion the suit cannot render the proceedings under Section 144 infructuous.
48. The learned Counsel for the appellant also relied upon certain provisions of Code of Civil Procedure to urge that wherever the legislature intended the proceedings to continue on determination of a suit it has specifically so provided while there was no such provision appended to Section 144, C.P.C. It was therefore inferred that these proceedings lapse on culmination of a suit. In this context, reference was made to Order I, Rule 8(4), Order 8, Rule 6D, Order 23, Rule 1(2) and Order 41, Rule 22(4), C.P.C.
49. Order 23,Rule 1(5) and Order 1, Rule 8(5) provide for the competence of only one of the parties to conclude a suit without the consent or notice to the other parties. Under Order 23, rule 1(5), no suit may be withdrawn by only one of the plaintiffs without the consent of the other co-plaintiffs while under Order 1, Rule 8(4), C.P.C. the party on record who represents the interest of the numerous other persons in representative suit may not compromise or withdraw the suit without notice to the other persons having the interest. Neither of these two provisions deal with the survival of any proceedings consequent to termination of the other. They provide for disability of one of the parties in aforesaid circumstances to conclude the proceedings. These provisions do not provide any guidance for the construction of Section 144, C.P.C
50. Under Order 8, Rule 6D a counter claim is permitted to survive a suit where the suit is discontinued, stayed or dismissed. Similarly, a cross-objection is to survive an appeal in certain circumstances under Order 41, Rule 22(4). In either of these the cross-objection -- or the coutner-claim is heard in the very proceedings of the appeal or the suit and unless there was a provision to the contrary once the appeal or the suit stand terminated, there would be no proceeding in which the cross-objection or counter-claim could be adjudicated. They, however, being independent claims of the respondents or the defendant cannot be permitted to become infructuous on the appellant or the plaintiff withdrawing the suit on appeal.
51. In centra-distinction to the aforesaid proceedings, proceedings under Section 144 are not heard in the suit and, therefore, termination of the suit would not ipso facto result in conclusion of the proceedings under Section 144, C.P.C. These proceedings are not proceedings in the suit and they are not heard as a part of the proceedings in the suit and cannot be interlocutory proceedings in the sense implied above. These proceedings are taken distinctly from the suit and as pointed out above may not necessarily be even contemporaneous with the suit. They, therefore, do not need any separate provision to save them after a suit ends.
52. In view of the above, we do not find any force in either of the two contentions raised on behalf of the appellant against the judgment of the Trial Court.
53. No other point was raised. The appeal, therefore, fails and is hereby dismissed.
54. There will be no order as to costs.
S.K. Mookherjee, J.
55. I agree.
56. A prayer for stay of operation of the judgment is made and is refused.
57. Appeal dismissed.

Google has announced Android TV, a brand new smart TV platform that will be introduced to TVs, set top boxes and streaming boxes in the future.
Announced during the Google I/O keynote, the new TV system will be introduced later this year and shows Google's increased focus on TVs following the success of Chromecast.
"This isn't a new platform. We're just giving TV the same level of attention as phones and tablets have traditionally enjoyed", said David Burke, Google's Director of Android Engineering.
Basically, there's now one Android SDK for all form factors, which will let developers create apps for phones, tablets and TVs in one go.
To use Android TV, all you'll need is a remote control with a D-Pad and voice input. This can be done in hardware, like a traditional remote or game console controller, or with software.
There's a special Android TV app for your phone and tablet, plus you can use your Android Wear smartwatch as a remote control as well.
The actual Android TV UI looks and feels like any other, but has been designed with the Android L material-theme to be a "super-simple, lean-back experience".
"Users don't want complexity from their TV", added Burke.
Pressing the home button offers you the Android TV UI over the top of the already playing content. First up, you'll get content recommendations that are tailored to your viewing and playing habits, but can be pulled from any app source.
You'll also get apps and games too, in the lower menus, all sorted by your recently accessed or viewed content.
To quickly find new or familiar content, the Google Search voice commands have been integrated as the core search functionality into the UI.
For example, searching for Breaking Bad with a voice command brings up the option to watch the series on Google Play or other streaming services. But you'll also get wikipedia entries for cast members, related searches and YouTube clips.
If you select a cast member, they will become the centre of your search, with the related content tied to that person, including their other work.
Beyond TV series and films, voice search can also be very specific, like asking for "Oscar nominated movies for 2002" or asking questions like "Who plays Katniss in The Hunger Games?"
The Google Play store has also been tailored to the biggest screen in your home, and aims to offer "fluid cinematic 10-foot experiences".
The Google Play Movies app, for example, has been translated straight from the tablet app to your TV. The strong material colours from Android L have been introduced, but tailored for that "lean-back experience" that Burke is heavily emphasising.
Selecting films or programmes will present you with "Detail Mode", with a nice content backdrop and then a synopsis of the programme floating in-front. It all looks very slick and speedy, even when navigating with the Android Wear smartwatch.
As for Google Play Games, you can tap into this on Android TV for achievements, multiplayer, any other content accessible on your phone and tablet.
Burke said this is particularly important because 3 out of 4 Android users play games.
Android TV will also have full Google cast support, so you'll be able to use the platform just like you can a Chromecast to push content like music and photos to your TV.
There will also be a special Android TV Apps store, which will launch in the autumn with Android L.
The Android TV hardware will include the Sony 2015 HDTV range, Philips 2015 HDTV range and the Sharp 2015 HDTV range.
Google also teased that Android TV streaming boxes from companies like Asus and Razr would arrive later this year as well.
Razr states that its Android TV box will "stream movies, music and other apps for large-screen entertainment with an emphasis on gaming." In fact, it promises to offer "hardcore" gaming in some capacity, but it's keeping mum on that for now.
"In keeping with the spirit of Google I/O, we will not be discussing specific product details at this time."

Naked Greens, In the Raw Naturally™, is a modern, welcoming concept designed to cater to today's health conscious consumer and those looking for a convenient and quick alternative to more mainstream fast food options. The restaurant promises to use no artificial ingredients and only the freshest produce available. All of its meats are of the highest quality, and are free of added hormones and antibiotics. And, their dressings are made in-house daily.
Here's a sample of some of signature salads on the menu:
- Caprese Crunch – arugula, radicchio, fresh mozzarella, tomatoes, fresh basil and pita chips

Five hand-crafted soups are standard bill of fare, with two seasonal soups added each week.
Owner Victor Melendez says. "I wanted to create a restaurant where we celebrate the harvest everyday by providing creative recipes that are healthy, fresh and brimming with flavor, as well as conveniently served up in a friendly environment. We're committed to using the freshest, highest quality ingredients in a variety of homemade dishes…. some classic and some a little more exotic drawing on the flavors of my Latin American heritage and global travels."
When developing his concept, Melendez decided to purchase the former Soup Alley, which started in Wilton and expanded to South Norwalk, and known for its exceptional soup recipes. Victor hired the former chefs who will continue to create renowned, signature soups.

On Wednesday, April 4, 2007 at Tonic,
Capital M presents its second annual concert of world premieres,
featuring new works by Ian Dicke, Mike
Gamble (world premiere), Caroline Mallonée
(world premiere), Ian Moss (world premiere)
, Edward RosenBerg III (world premiere),
Jonathan Russell, and Kyle Sanna
(world premiere). Noted provocateurs and ne'er-do-wells Anti-Social
Music will follow with their particular brand of "punk
classical" madness.
This concert will be graced by the musical stylings of Mike Gamble,
guitar; John Hadfield, drums and percussion; Peter Hess, reeds;
Bradley Kemp, bass; Ian Moss, vocals; Renate Rohlfing, piano and
keyboard; Kyle Sanna, guitar; and special guests.
composer and performer IAN DICKE (b. 1982)
creates music that is uniquely representative of today's overlapping
musical cultures. His compositional voice emerges from a range
of influences including electronica, math-core rock, pop music
from Southeastern Asia, and contemporary concert music. The
subject matter of Ian's music is often inspired by his passion
for environmental issues and politics. His work has received
many awards and distinctions including the Jim Highsmith Orchestral
Award and a Meet the Composer Creative Connections grant.
His music has been presented around the world by a variety
of ensembles and festivals including the 16mm Orchestra, Capital
M, the University of Michigan's Philharmonia Orchestra, the
San Francisco Conservatory of Music Symphony Orchestra, Gamma-UT,
60x60, and the Midwest Composers Symposium. Ian has studied
composition with David Conte, Daniel Becker, Bright Sheng,
and Michael Daugherty. Current composition projects include
a work for cello and electronics and a large scale piano piece.
About his piece Press Play!, Ian writes, "When
I finally made the decision to study music seriously in my
late teens, I entered the San Francisco Conservatory of Music
and quickly realized that I didn't know anything about classical
music. In my youth, Nirvana was my Mozart and while I am in
love with almost all forms of sound, my kinship with pop and
rock music still remains my most important influence. To compensate
for my lack of a classical background, my undergraduate years
were filled with a complete immersion into the great sonatas
and symphonies and a tour de force of writing derivative pieces.
I had my Impressionistic chamber works, my Prokofievian piano
concerto, and I even paid tribute to Steve Reich with a piece
that included two marimbas playing canonic African rhythms.
After graduating the conservatory and through the encouragement
of my teacher Dan Becker, a few friends and I started a 'new
music' chamber ensemble with the idea of fusing rock and
classical music. Press Play! is the fruit of that
labor. Its conception marked a return to my roots as a rock
musician while maintaining the classical ideals of form and
GAMBLE was born in the U.S. of A's smallest state,
Rhode Island, and has been on the road ever since. Mike and
his family relocated to rural New Jersey, Atlanta, GA, and
finally Columbus, Ohio, where Mike gave up the sports and
video games to pursue music full-time. After years of playing
sousaphone in marching band, cello in youth orchestras, and
guitar in various rock/jazz bands, Mike decided to pursue
a Jazz degree at NEC, where he studied with John Abercrombie,
Gene Bertoncini, Bob Brookmeyer, Bob Moses, and George Garzone.
Gamble now teaches guitar all over the tri-state area and
is in and out of his apartment in Brooklyn. In addition to
Capital M, Mike performs with other NYC-based groups such
as the Inbetweens, Bootyjuice, A.D.M., Michael Cain, Snuggle/Stencil,
the Barbarians, Brooklyn Qawwali Party, and collaborates on
several movie scores.
"In the fall of 2005 I had the wonderful
opportunity to fly across the world with my girlfriend Devin
to visit her brother Jared, whom was studying to be a business
lawyer in Hong Kong. Within a short week Jared managed to
squeeze in snapshots of both the traditional and modern lifestyle
of China. We visited a jade market in Kowloon, the ever-so
bustling Hong Kong, a small city on stilts, the Great W all,
an enormous Buddhist temple, the forbidden palace of Beijing,
and even the casino-ridden Macao. As we trekked along I managed
to fit my belongings into the case of my 'backpacker' guitar,
in which I periodically took out to work out some ideas I
had going through my head. Meanwhile, Devin jotted down her
observations in her diary, which now serves as the text of
the suite that I have arranged for Capital M. China, from
what I saw and felt, is geared up to take over the world.
It is said by many that the "American Century" has
run its course. Some argue (notably Hunter S. Thompson) that
9/11 undeniably marks its death. Others, such as the neo-conservative
US think tank Project for the New American Century (PNAC),
continue to promote US military and economic space, cyberspace,
and global domination. With the rise of its free-flowing economy
coupled with the loosening up of its communist ideals, China
could conceivably carry the torch. So, more or less, this
piece is a short-lived journey through a vastly changing country,
Zhongguo (the region of China and its surrounding islands).
As you will hear, the piece concludes with an Morse-code S.O.S.
motif, which I heard as the ferry was docking in Macao. The
very next moment a lady attempted suicide off of the footbridge.
She failed miserably."
CAROLINE MALLONÉE (b. 1975) received
her Ph.D. from Duke University. She also holds degrees from
Harvard University and the Yale School of Music. She held
a Fulbright Fellowship for study with Louis Andriessen at
the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag from 2004-2005.
Ms. Mallonée's compositions have been played
by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, the Contemporary Music Forum,
the Women Composer's Orchestra, the Baltimore Choral Arts
Society, the Virginia Pops Symphony, Non Sequitur, the PRISM
Saxophone Quartet, the Greater Baltimore Youth Orchestra,
the Del Sol, Ciompi, Alexander, and Mendelssohn String Quartets
and the Gregg Smith Singers. Her music has been heard at the
Bowdoin Summer Music Festival, on the New Music New Haven
series, at the Chapel Hill Arts Festival and at the Durham
Downtown Music Festival. Her music has been performed in the
U.S., the Netherlands, Wales, England, and Mexico, and has
been broadcast several times over National Public Radio on
Garrison Keillor's "Prairie Home Companion." Ms.
Mallonée has been on the faculty of The Walden School
for young composers in Dublin, NH for nine summers, where
she teaches composition and musicianship. She holds the position
of Director of Composer Forums, directs the female choir,
and is the Academic Dean. She has been co-commissioned by
the Walden School and artists-in-residence for a new work
five times. Ms. Mallonée is a member of pulsoptional,
a sextet and composers' collective devoted to new repertoire
that performs regularly in Durham, NC and Chapel Hill, NC.

Caroline writes, "Hey Yeah Nanny Nanny
(The Tease) is at once an homage to one of my former
teachers, Louis Andriessen, and a rock ballad. The realization
that the opening motive was reminiscent of 'Nanny Nanny Boo-Boo'
led to the title. This piece was written for Capital M, and
is dedicated to them."
M founder IAN MOSS began his musical studies
at the age of 12 by transcribing classics from the Wee Sing
songbook for his computer's monophonic PC speaker. His
first major composition was a "rock symphony"
written as an independent study project during his senior
year in high school. While earning a degree in music at Yale
University, he served as the Undergraduate Assistant Conductor
of the Yale Glee Club, and for two years as President of the
Yale College Composers' Group (now known as Igigi),
an organization he founded in the fall of 2000. He has sung
baritone with the Dessoff Choirs, the Canticum Novum Singers,
the Choral Arts Society of Philadelphia, and the Yale Glee
Club at venues including Carnegie Hall, Avery Fisher Hall,
Brooklyn Academy of Music, Philadelphia's Kimmel Center and
Academy of Music, and the Cathedral of St. John the Divine,
and is co-founder of C4: The Choral Composer/Conductor Collective.
His music has been performed or read from New Jersey to Alaska
by ensembles including the Princeton Singers, Forecast Music,
Mosaik Two, Cerddorion, Due East, the Choral Arts Society
of Philadelphia, the Yale Symphony Orchestra, and the Way
Blue Bucket. Ian is currently Development Manager for the
American Music Center.
"Obelisk is at once a return to
my roots with Capital M and an exploration of new territory.
Like my earliest compositions for the band, it divides musical
material up into 'cells' which can be repeated an unspecified
number of times, creating a cloud of polymetric possibilities.
However, I also took cues from later compositions such as
liberal use of vocal harmonies, additive rhythmic processes,
notation allowing for minor variations within the same measure,
and a brief obsession with the band Interpol. The result is
a synthesis of a number of techniques I've had interest in
for quite a while. My computer's two-year-old hard drive died
an untimely death in the middle of the conception of this
piece, with the result that Obelisk is the first
manuscript-only composition I have completed in nearly five
ROSENBERG III is 27 years old. He obtained a bachelor's
degree in Saxophone performance from The Eastman School of
Music, in Rochester, NY. He is currently working towards a
Masters degree in composition at Queens College here in New
York City. Ed recently co-authored a book with saxophonist
Walt Weiskopf called "Beyond the Horn," published
by Jamey Aebersold Jazz. He plays tenor saxophone and writes
music for "lungcore" pioneers Jerseyband.
Of Prelude to Beast-Wedding, Ed writes,
"A human being and an animal are frozen and bonded together
by way of some unknown, futuristic mechanism. The overseers
of the experiment have employed said mechanism in order to
produce a creature that will rule the future world. The impetus
for this piece was the rhythm and sound of the word 'Cryogenic.'"
Francisco-based composer JONATHAN RUSSELL
writes music for a wide variety of ensembles, from orchestra
to chorus to rock band, and is especially interested in music
that straddles the line between classical music and popular/folk
genres such as rock, jazz, and klezmer music. Important musical
influences include Johannes Brahms, Gustav Mahler, Igor Stravinsky,
Olivier Messiaen, Charles Mingus,
Steve Reich, Guns 'n' Roses, Fiona Apple, Cornelius Boots,
Ryan Brown, Ben Gribble, Klezmer music, and free improvisation.
Performing on clarinet, bass clarinet, and saxophone is also
a central
part of Jonathan's musical life. A member of the heavy chamber
music Edmund Welles bass clarinet quartet and the Balkan/Klezmer/Experimental
band Zoyres, he also plays in, composes for, and is a founding
member of the Sqwonk bass clarinet duo and the rock chamber
music band Oogog. He also freelances as a classical, contemporary,
and klezmer clarinetist/bass clarinetist. In order to make
a living (and also because he enjoys it), he teaches Theory
and Musicianship at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music,
serves as Music Director at First Congregational Church, San
Francisco, and is a critic for the San Francisco Classical
Voice. He has a BA in Music from Harvard University and an
MA in Composition from San Francisco Conservatory. His composition
teachers have included Dan Becker, Elinor Armer, Eric Sawyer,
John Stewart, and Eric Ewazen. For more information, visit
him online at
Jon's piece Expanding and Contracting
"is a meditative work that happens to have intricate
mathematical processes underlying it. Briefly, this involves
three independent parts that each gradually expand and then
contract their material over the course of the piece according
to different mathematical processes - prime numbers in one
part, a fibonnaci series in another, and an arithemetical
progression in the third. But you don't really need to know
that in order to get the piece, it functions perfectly well
as a nice meditative piece without thinking about any of that."
SANNA began learning rock guitar at age 12 and within
a few years was studying jazz, composition and learning folk
traditions from many parts of the world. His broad interests
have led him into diverse musical territories professionally,
and have earned him a reputation for challenging categorization.
Kyle has performed his original or improvised music in Canada,
Luxembourg, France, Germany, and throughout the U.S. at such
venues as Carnegie's Zankel Hall, concert halls at The
Juilliard School, Manhattan School of Music, Eastman School
of Music, Cal Arts, UCLA, and others. He performs regularly
in the New York area on acoustic and electric guitar, dobro,
and lapsteel. Kyle has received awards for Outstanding Performer
from the Reno Jazz Festival and the University of Oregon School
of Music. As a composer, Kyle most often produces works that
support other media: film scores, music for theater, and dance
pieces. He was a 2003 Finalist in Turner Classic Movies'
Young Film Composers Competition and his latest film score
(for the indie documentary Liferaft in the Desert) will see
its premiere screening in summer, 2007. Other new works this
year will include a piece commissioned by the Elisa Monte
Dance Company and orchestral arrangements of songs by Christina
Courtin. Kyle holds a Bachelor of Music degree in Jazz Performance
from the University of Oregon and studied composition at the
Université Lumière in Lyon, France. His teachers
include Steve Owen, Gary Versace (jazz), Pat O'Brian,
Don Latarski (guitar), Harold Owen and Michel Kawka (composition).
In May, 2006, Kyle participated as both composer and performer
in Carnegie Hall's Porous Borders of Music Workshop
with bass virtuoso Edgar Meyer. Kyle lives in Manhattan and
teaches guitar at the New York Conservatory of Music.
Of Speaking in Tongues, Kyle writes, "Having
not written a note of this piece I jokingly emailed Capital
M bandleader and vocalist, Ian Moss, asking him if he'd
had any experience singing in Chinese. I believe his terse
reply was 'uh, no.' I had no intention to write to a Chinese
text (or any text) but when he later said that my idea wasn't
entirely out of the question, I started imagining Ian singing
a sort of pseudo Chinese. This led to the idea of speaking
in tongues: a phenomenon that already fascinated me. For my
piece, titled Speaking in Tongues, the vocalist will
enter a trance. This will be accomplished with a precise combination
of sleep deprivation, hypnosis, pre-concert chanting, and
pharmaceuticals. The piece is best understood in two movements:
I. Xenoglossy: the paranormal ability to speak a language
that could not have been acquired by natural means.
In this movement the vocalist begins on wordless syllables,
singing with, behind, and around the saxophone against a backdrop
of distorted guitars that suggests a sampler or edited recorded
music. The syllables change and eventually the vocalist is
asked to interpret, in the most convincing manner possible,
alphabets he does not understand. The vocalist is 'possessed.'
Effects on his voice heighten the intensity. In preparing
for the piece, the vocalist must not determine the meaning
of the foreign characters, nor even learn how they sound,
but rather 'interpret' them based on his best approximation
of the sounds, rhythm, and gesture of the language.
II. Glossolalia: the utterance of unintelligible sounds,
often from a
trance-like state (speaking in tongues).
This movement opens with a trio of electric guitar, saxophone,
and glockenspiel that acts as an interlude between the two
louder vocal sections. The vocalist enters quietly on nonsensical
syllables that do not try to suggest a language but do, however,
use the 6 'tones' of Vietnamese. The piece ends as it began,
with the same wordless melody and the same stark guitar backdrop."
Capital M's 2nd Annual World Premieres Extravaganza is made possible
in part with public funds from the Manhattan Community Arts Fund,
supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and
administered by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. This event
is funded in part through Meet The Composer's Creative Connections

i had smartlipo done last year, like probably every other woman, i was told i was a great candidate for the procedure, i just had a c-section about 9 months prior, and i had lost my preggo fat, they said it would be painless which it WAS NOT,
i was awake during the procedure, constantly getting stabbed by a needle with some numbing serum, which did not work as planned, i could feel the laser burning my abdominal muscles, it hurt so bad i couldnt even stay still, even though it did get rid of my love handles like i wanted, my skin did get some what tighter, but it showed my bulging abdominal muscles that where torn during my c-section,
about a day after the surgery i was still swollen, no biggie i knew it was going to happen, a few weeks later, i ended up gaining 20 pounds from the surgery! if you get this done make sure they tell you what you can and cannot eat and ALL and i mean ALL the risks. after i had it dont i quit eating my fast food and started making home made meals more often, usually tea or water and salads for the next month after wards, after i gained the wait i was concerned and asked the nurse and she says oh yeah, your not supposed to eat sodium after you get it done, but it didnt state it in the papers i received or contract, it was total bull.
so i advise, save your money for a tummy tuck or the real lipo, there may be pain afterwards but the results will be more permanent than this procedure.
most doctors that tell you that you are a good candidate just want your money in there fat wallets to keep there yhatts afloat. but its just the same thing they tell every woman that walks in there.

Light Heavyweight bout: 205 pounds

Quentin? Oh Killz and his spelling :laugh:
Glover via beating up a lazy over the hill Rampage who will plod around the cage looking to land one punch the whole time.
Good riddance to Quintin, that's all I have to say about this fight...
Big fight for Tex. Regardless of what Rampage has done or how he has declined, this is by far the biggest name Glover could add to his record.
I think this fight will be closer than some think. Glover is the kind of guy that Rampage likes to fight. Someone that will stand and trade with him without holding back. That being said, I still see Glover winning by a convincing decision, or by a late round submission after Rampage gets winded. I wouldn't be shocked if Rampage did pull it off, because like I said, this is the kind of match up Rampage likes, but my pick to win is Glover. I've been following this guy a long time and I've always thought he could do good things in the UFC, he hasn't changed my mind so far since signing.

If Rampage comes in real ready to stick it to Dana and the UFC , then I expect a pretty damn good fight.
But there is nothing to assume he will. I will say Rampage survives though.
Tex by UD.
I can see Glover mixing it up a little. I don't think he'll be looking to grapple from start to finish. I can see him exchanging, and if Rampage gets the upper hand even a little, Glover will be looking to put him on his back, or he may just put him there anyway to mix it up. Ah yes, the perks of being multi dimensional. At this point, I give Glover the advantage everywhere. Rampage has good take down defense when he comes in well conditioned (which is the only way I think it will be close, more or less me hoping Rampage comes to fight in good shape. Probably should have specified that), but given his recent performance, and the fact that his interviews haven't made him sound very motivated in terms of fighting, I can't picture him coming into this fight any better. He has a punchers chance if Glover comes into the fight in berserker mode, but I see Glover realizing the danger of Rampage's power and fighting a little bit more conservatively.
I'd be a little disappointed if Glover was looking to make this a pure grappling match. I want him to prove the nay sayers about his chin wrong (that argument is ridiculous anyway, but I'm not going there again) and out strike another good boxer like he did against Maldanado. He's out classed both of his opponents in the UFC in every area, that's one of the best statements you can make. I think he can do the same here. Catch Rampage a few times standing, and then put him on his back and beat him up. Dominant decision win, or late round submission.
I would laugh my ass off if Glover just took him down and stayed on top of him all night... What a fitting end to a bitter Rampage's run with the UFC :p

Coach: Why Wells Fargo Remains Cautious
Investors appear to be nibbling at Coach (COH), one the worst-performing stocks of 2014. After perusing Coach's 10-K, Wells Fargo's Paul Lejuez and team took don't feel much better about Coach's prospects:
We remain cautious about Coach's ability to successfully pull off its brand transformation at this stage in its life cycle. As a result of the attempt at transforming the brand, we continue to expect significant pressure on margins/ROIC as a result of weak sales, although the balance sheet remains in good shape. We are also uncertain if the company's strategy to reduce promotions will be successful, particularly in the factory channel....
As Coach expands its assortment into lifestyle categories such as apparel and footwear, we should remember that these categories typically carry lower margins than handbags. Coach noted that "increased penetration of our broadened lifestyle categories" was a factor in the 310bps gross-margin decline in the US as well as the 180bps gross-margin decline internationally.
Lejuez thinks Market Perform-rate Coach is worth between $32 and $34 a share. Coach has gained 0.7% to $36.51 at 3:03 p.m. today.

Earlier today, at the federal courthouse in Brooklyn, defendants Sathajhan Sarachandran and Nadarasa Yogarasa were sentenced to 26 and 14 years in prison, respectively, in connection with their efforts to purchase $1 million worth of high-powered weaponry for the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE), a designated foreign terrorist organization. The sentences were imposed by Chief United States District Judge Raymond J. Dearie. In January 2009, Sarachandran pled guilty to providing, conspiring to provide, and attempting to provide material support to the LTTE and conspiring and attempting to acquire guided surface-to-air missiles and missile launchers, and Yogarasa pled guilty to attempting to provide material support to the LTTE and conspiring to do so.
On August 19, 2006, Sarachandran, Yogarasa and two co-defendants1 were arrested on Long Island after engaging in negotiations with an undercover FBI agent to purchase and export 20 SA-18 heat-seeking missiles, ten missile launchers, 500 AK-47s, and other military equipment for the LTTE. The defendants were acting at the direction of senior LTTE leadership in Sri Lanka, including Pottu Amman, the LTTE's chief of intelligence and procurement and the right-hand man to LTTE leader Velupillai Prabakharan. The LTTE intended to use the SA-18 missiles to shoot down Kfir aircraft used by the Sri Lankan military.
The LTTE was founded in 1976 and uses illegal methods to raise money, acquire weapons and technology, and publicize its cause of establishing an independent Tamil state in northern Sri Lanka. The LTTE began its armed conflict against the Sri Lankan government in 1983, and utilizes a guerrilla strategy that often includes acts of terrorism. With an army of several thousand combatants, the LTTE has, until recently, controlled most of the northern and eastern coastal areas of Sri Lanka. Over the past 17 years, the LTTE has conducted approximately 200 suicide bombings, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of victims, and carried out numerous political assassinations, including the May 1991 assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, the 1993 assassination of the President of Sri Lanka, Ranasinghe Premadasa, the July 1999 assassination of Neelan Thiruchelvam, a member of the Sri Lankan parliament, the June 2000 assassination of C.V. Goonaratne, the Sri Lankan Industry Minister, the August 2006 assassination of the Sri Lankan government's peace secretariat, Ketheshwaran Loganathan, the January 2008 assassination of Sri Lankan Minister for Nation Building, D.M. Dassanayake, and the April 2008 assassination of Sri Lankan Highways Minister, Jeyaraj Fernandopulle.
In 1997, the LTTE was designated by the U.S. State Department as a Foreign Terrorist Organization and therefore may not legally raise money or procure equipment or materials in the United States.
"The defendants attempted to use this district as a terrorist arms depot," stated United States Attorney Campbell. "The sentences handed down today send a clear message – we will use the full force of the law to stop terrorist organizations and their supporters in their tracks." Mr. Campbell added that this prosecution is the result of a coordinated international effort by law enforcement led by the Newark Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Joint Terrorism Task Force, with assistance provided by more than 20 of the FBI's Field Offices, including New York City, New Haven, Buffalo, Seattle, Baltimore, Chicago, and San Jose; the United States Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut; U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); the U.S. Department of State; the Royal Canadian Mounted Police National Security Program; and British law enforcement authorities.
The government's case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Greg D. Andres, Marshall L. Miller, Andrew E. Goldsmith, and Jeffrey H. Knox.
The Defendants:
SATHAJHAN SARACHANDRAN, also known as "Satha"
Age: 30
NADARASA YOGARASA, also known as "Yoga"
Age: 55

Leading Christian right political groups "too busy to comment" on Robertson's assassination remarks
Research ››› ››› MAX BLUMENTHAL
Pat Robertson's August 22 call for the assassination of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez generated demands for an apology from members of Congress and religious groups spanning the ideological spectrum, including the National Council of Churches, the National Association of Evangelicals, and the National Clergy Council. Yet several leading Christian right political groups -- such as the Family Research Council, the Traditional Values Coalition, Focus on the Family, Concerned Women for America, the Christian Coalition of America, and the American Center for Law and Justice -- have maintained silence on the matter. Another major Christian right political outfit, the American Family Association, excused Robertson's comments as having been made in "frustration" during an August 25 radio broadcast and quoted the conservative Media Research Center offering a lukewarm endorsement of Robertson's comments.
When contacted by The New York Times on August 24 to discuss Robertson's remarks, the Family Research Council, the Traditional Values Coalition, and the Christian Coalition each declined to comment, claiming they were "too busy."
The Family Research Council (FRC) has remained mum on Robertson since rebuffing the Times. FRC president Tony Perkins devoted his weekly radio program, Washington Watch Weekly, to his organization's campaign against the proposed .xxx Internet domain for pornography websites, ignoring the Robertson controversy. Perkins has yet to discuss Robertson's remarks in his daily "Washington Update" email newsletters. Following Robertson's call for assassination, on August 26, FRC issued a newsletter denouncing People for the American Way as "People for Getting in the Way."
Silence on the issue has prevailed at James Dobson's Focus on the Family, which sells an audio cassette featuring a discussion among Dobson, Robertson, and attorney Jay Sekulow, titled The Supreme Court Speaks Out. As the controversy over Robertson's remarks exploded in the media on August 25 and 26, Dobson devoted two consecutive radio programs to discussing "the causes and signs of stress in children and how parents can help alleviate that stress"; he has yet to acknowledge the controversy on the air. There has been no mention of the controversy on Focus on the Family's website or in its related publications. Instead, the site features articles such as "Five Aspects of a Godly Man." An excerpt: "God HAS created men with a desire to fight for truth and stand against evil and injustice. We see this in little boys who like play guns, as well as in the longing for significant purpose that a man experiences when watching a movie like Braveheart."
Concerned Women for America (CWA) is keeping quiet as well. Rather than condemn Robertson's call for assassinating Chavez, CWA took aim at the Girl Scouts of the USA; an August 29 article (written by CWA Culture and Family Institute director Robert Knight) denounced the group for its "leftward leanings." Knight singled out for particular criticism the Girl Scouts' invitation of an educator who rejects "ex-'gay' counseling and ministry" to speak at their 2005 national convention. Throughout the Robertson controversy, CWA featured an August 23 article by senior fellow Janice Shaw Crouse, titled "A Pimp's Take on Intimacy ."
The Traditional Values Coalition (TVC) also avoided the Robertson controversy, focusing instead on attacking groups opposed to John G. Roberts Jr.'s nomination to the Supreme Court. On August 25, TVC called People for the American Way "one of the most anti-Christian groups in the country." TVC maintains a prominent space on its website for promotion of TVC president and founder Louis P. Sheldon's recently released book, The Agenda: The Homosexual Plan to Change America (FrontLine, August 2005).
The Christian Coalition of America, which Robertson founded in 1988 and from which he resigned in 2001, has not commented on the controversy. The group's website includes a petition in support of Roberts's Supreme Court nomination, but neither the website nor the coalition's weekly email newsletter, "Washington Weekly Review," mentioned Robertson's call for Chavez's assassination. The group's weblog also avoided the controversy, although it did include an entry criticizing the media as "corrupt, cynical, negative, and dare we say, anti-American" and titled, unironically, "Spiro T. Agnew: Where are you when we need you?"
Among Christian right figures who declined to address Robertson's remarks, perhaps most notable is Sekulow. He is the general counsel of the American Center for Law and Justice, which Robertson founded in 1990 to function as the legal arm of the Christian Coalition. Further, Sekulow received his doctorate from the Robertson-founded Regent University. On August 25, he devoted his radio show, Jay Sekulow Live!, to "Preparing for Battle" for the Roberts confirmation. The following day, Sekulow discussed "the rights of students to express their faith in the school setting."
One of the only major Christian right political groups to acknowledge the Robertson controversy was the American Family Association (AFA). In an August 25 article in AFA's daily newswire service, AgapePress, MRC research director Rich Noyes seemed to offer a lukewarm endorsement of Robertson's call to assassinate Chavez. "What Robertson was basically arguing is that it's time to deal with this problem," Noyes told AgapePress. "I think 'assassination' was an unfortunate word [for Robertson to use]. On the other hand, it seemed to get this conversation going in a way that it hasn't before."
On the August 25 broadcast of the AFA Report radio program, AFA Journal news director Ed Vitagliano offered understanding for Robertson. Of Robertson's call for killing Chavez, Vitagliano said: "We all say things privately that would not be prudent in public. In frustration you might say, 'We ought to just bump off so and so; just get rid of him; we ought to nuke such and such a place.' But you say it publicly, you're gonna get yourself in trouble. This could have been nipped in the bud, as Barney Fife would say, um, from the outset, and it would have all gone away quickly."

I mean no disrespect, but I was taken aback by the posing of that question. Obviously a very young shooter, was my first thoughts.
When I was very, very young, boys bought solid hard rubber replicas of the ".45 Automatic," as well as fairly accurate cap-pistol copies of the pistol. The ".45 Automatic" was THE gun of gangster movies, as well as the military sidearm of the US Army. Every kid knew terms such as "Snub-nosed .38," ".38 Special", "Colt .45" and ".30-30," whether they knew what they meant or not.
And, sooner or later, they were introduced to the .45 Automatic pistol, as the M1911A1, either through high school ROTC, or being introduced to one, albeit fleetingly, after having been drafted into the Army. And, going by mail order at prices around $21.00, many soon got their hands on one.
I personally resisted the purchase of such guns, preferring to go with the revolver in .45 Colt, slightly more at $29.95. I went whole hog and bought the select model at $34.95.
Ammunition was dirt cheap as military surplus flooded the market, both American and foreign made. The foreign made stuff introduced us to Berdan primed ammunition for the first time. Some even went to great lengths to reload the Berdan stuff, why, I'll never know.
And, accurizing the old slab sided wonder was the topic of many conversations, as well as how to make it function with hjollow points or waddcutter ammunition.
My own venture with the .45 Auto came with a Colt Gold Cup that had been set up for hardball. It was a dandy gun with Winchester Silvertips, making a good crow and varmint gun out to about seventy-five yards or so. That is, if you didn't mind losing a few ejected cases during the day. Or if you didn't mind the slightly distracting habit of having a hat brim with cases rolling around, dropping off before your eyes as you squeezed off a shot.
The .45 Auto round was born in 1905, and its popularity is still going strong.

Moonlight Drive (Demo Version) Lyrics
Artist: The Doors
Album: The Doors Box Set
Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
Penetrate the evening
That the city sleeps to hide
Let's swim out tonight, love
It's our turn to try
Parked beside the ocean
On our moonlight drive.
Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
Surrender to the waiting worlds
That lap against our side.
Nothing left open
And no time to decide.
We've stepped into a river
On our moonlight drive.
Let's swim to the moon
Let's climb through the tide
You reach a hand to hold me
But I can't be your guide.
It's easy to love you
As I watch you glide.
We're falling through wet forests
On our moonlight drive.
Come on, baby, gonna take a little ride
Going' down by the ocean side
Gonna get real close
Get real tight
Baby gonna drown tonight.
Going' down, down, down.

It passed right through Hector's shield and corselet, and might have proved fatal, had the hero not quickly bent aside his body.
Armed as he was with corselet, cuissarts, and headpiece, he sank to trouble them no more.
One Onthophagus decorates his corselet with Florentine bronze; another wears garnets on his wing-cases.
My corselet was torn open under the iron hoofs of the horses.
Sergius' head-piece was gone, but he glanced at his own corselet and then at Decius.
He is able to pierce a corselet with his eye; he talks like a knell, and his hum is a battery.
Ivan drew from his necktie his breast-pin, and with it closed the countess's corselet.
Suppose the bee stung in the rear of the corselet and paralysed.
Their corselet, and the mail worn under it, were of a piece, and put on together.
corselet, pearl-grey, with five rows of fine black dots, which are the roots of stiff bristles pointing backwards.

Nov 16 (Reuters) - The following were the top stories in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday. Reuters has not verified these stories and does not vouch for their accuracy.

* Europe's debt troubles spilled over to top-rated nations that had been largely untouched by the crisis, including Austria, the Netherlands, Finland and France.
* Whistleblowers alleging that two banks overcharged clients for currency trades could provide an early test of a new program to encourage information about financial wrongdoing.
* Bank of America is on the right track, CEO Brian Moynihan is expected to tell his board. But dissent in the Merrill Lynch ranks promises to be a thorn in his side.
* Ford Motor Co this week lifts the veil on a new sport-utility vehicle that illustrates how much Chief Executive Alan Mulally has changed the way that the auto maker now looks at developing and making cars in a global marketplace.
* Geithner said Europe's smoldering fiscal crisis should compel Congress to pass legislation that boosts the economy, warning that continued global pressures are constraining U.S. growth.
* Solyndra LLC postponed a layoff announcement until the day after the 2010 midterm elections following a push by the Department of Energy for a delay, House Republicans said Tuesday, citing emails they obtained in their probe of the company's collapse.
* Citigroup Inc is preparing to eliminate 900 jobs in its securities and banking division, or about 5% of the unit's world-wide staff, as turmoil in the equity and debt markets erodes revenue, people familiar with the situation said. Continua...

Now, on the bank opposite from where they lie, the railroad runs from Matadi to leopoldville.
Other stations have since been founded, further up the river, all tributary to leopoldville.
Next morning I left for leopoldville in a boat much larger than the Deliverance, but with none of her cheer or good-fellowship.
If she meets with no mischance she ought to be at leopoldville on the 2nd of July.
Arriving at leopoldville on the 21st to the great delight of all, one of my first discoveries was the fact 1887.
The line runs along the bank all the way from leopoldville to Coquilhatville and was very difficult to erect.
So, unloading one of the steamers, he sent it back to leopoldville to bring up quickly a Krupp cannon and ammunition.
On the last day of the year we reach leopoldville and are comfortably installed in the Inspector's house.
The next morning Fanny, the young missionary, and I left for leopoldville on the railroad.
Stanley, at one time, had to pay eight hundred of these rods for provisions enough to last the station at leopoldville three days.

Governor Rick Scott Presents Former Gator Coach Steve Spurrier with Award
GAINESVILLE - Governor Rick Scott visited the Swamp today and met up with former Gator coach Steve Spurrier.
The governor presented Spurrier the Great Floridian Award, to go right next to his Heisman.
Spurrier is among 70 Floridians to receive the award since 1981, one of the latest to receive it, Tim Tebow.
The governor met with Spurrier at the F Club, then headed with the media to the stadium to present him with the award.
Spurrier said while he was raised in east Tennessee, he was born in Florida and has been a resident here the most.
The governor gave Spurrier the award for how he guided the Gators when he came to coach in the 90's, a time Spurrier reflected on for us today - "I came at the perfect time…the exact perfect time…the ball players were already here, there wasn't much expected of Florida although we had an excellent team and of course we won the SEC Championship the first two years and almost won it the third year. The situation was as good as any coach could have had it."
It was because of his ability to lead the Gators to victory, and his own personal achievements the governor told us made Spurrier the perfect fit - "he started right here in our great state with a lot of success so you want to give it to people who have done the right thing with their lives and are an inspiration to others and that's what's great about giving it to Coach Spurrier."
Among some of the other winners of the award include governors, supreme court justices, and former FSU head football coach Bobby Bowden.

Last Friday a Black One for Torrent, Fakes Sites
While many of us were seizing bargains on Black Friday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement was busy too. ICE seized 82 websites dedicated to illegal file sharing and counterfeit wares. It's a reminder not everything you can buy on Cyber Monday is authentic or legally for sale.
- ICE shopping spree nets 82 torrent and counterfeit wares sites
- Counterfeit goods cost profits, taxes and sometimes lives
- Shopping online makes it hard to spot fakes, deal only with reputable sites
- Copy this link to share with friends: http://bit.ly/i18DsL
ICE Seizes Websites Dedicated to Counterfeit Goods
ICE is mostly known as the country's immigration cop. It's also in charge of ensuring that imported goods come here legally. ICE has the second largest investigative agency in the US.
That shop includes the Cyber Crimes Center, or C3. It claims to have found thousands of websites, based in and outside the US, selling counterfeit merchandise, including music and software. The question for you, if you care, is how do you know a website's selling authorized copies of movies, songs and software, or genuine goods?
If you're using a torrent file-sharing service to download feature films and commercial songs for free, you probably already know you're committing a crime. When it comes to ordering physical goods, or physical copies of digital media, check out this consumers' guide from the International Intellectual Property Institute. Counterfeit goods aren't just a rip off. They can also be deadly.
