When Ashley and her sister promoted their 2004 film New York Minute, several of their Full House co-stars met up with them to support them, including Candace Cameron, Jodie Sweetin, Bob Saget, and Dave Coulier.
It's been said that on Full House, Ashley usually played Michelle when the character had to be emotional or act bratty in some way, while Mary-Kate took over for the more tomboyish, athletic side of Michelle. "One of them was more yuppie, and the other was more Melrose," TV dad Bob Saget once said about the girls in real life.
Ashley was said to be the fussier twin when she and Mary-Kate were babies on Full House and because Ashley cried so much throughout Season 1, her sister was forced to do most of the scenes.

Ashley decided to play Jane and Mary-Kate decided to play Roxanne (in New York Minute) after reading the script and deciding who they felt related to them more.
In the 1993, Ashley and Mary-Kate were initially going to play young Eve girls on The X-Files episode Eve. Eventually - because of the strict children's labor law - they were replaced by the Krievins twins from the region of Vancouver.
Ashley: (on working and life) I don't think it's the creative process that has ever gotten to us. More than anything, it's about trying to find balance with work and how we can personally stay balanced while having our corporations grow, and I think that's been the biggest thing that we are constantly aware of.
Ashley: We worked non-stop until we were 18. Then we decided to take a break and go to school and that was when we decided to question whether we would carry on in entertainment. It was time to step behind the process. I wanted to work on other things.
Ashley: (on where Mary-Kate and her finds inspiration for their website) I have to admit we're not that tech-savvy, but we're constantly learning and discovering new things on the Web. I check com to look at the collections and love to poke around some of the other fashion blogs to see what's going on. And, of course, I check nytimes.com religiously and huffingtonpost.com for news. A friend introduced to me to hypem.com, which is an amazing resource to check out new music.
Ashley: (about her and her siblings' allowances as a kid) We got $7 a week each, but we really had to earn it. We have to clean our room, vacuum, feed the dogs......it was $7, but if you missed one day, or there was one little thing on the floor, you didn't get anything for the whole week.
Ashley: (about her sister's 2004 eating disorder drama) That situation was more about how destructive the media can be to a person emotionally, to their identity, and their public persona. It's really sick, if you ask me. I know when Mary-Kate's hurting, I know when she's going through something. I know when she's happy. Whether I'm with her or not, I know. We both carry the weight of each other. When she's doing really well, maybe I'm not doing so well. We just kind of balance each other out.
Ashley: I live a very normal life. I have friends, and I've always gone to school. The part that's not normal is that I've been working since I was 9 months old, but at the same time, it's completely normal to me.
Ashley: I love driving, but sometimes, I'm not too good at it because I spend too much time looking in the rearview mirror if I know I'm being followed. You don't respond like, "Oh, there's paparazzi." It's more like, "There's a man, and he's going to attack me." That's how your body responds.
Ashley: (about watching Full House today with her sister) Sometimes we can tell who is playing Michelle, and sometimes we can't. It's pretty weird. Watching that show is like watching little home videos, and it always takes us back to that time, and that day, and that scene.
Ashley: (at age 21) I want to make sure that my family is taken care of. I have a will. I know where everything is going.
Ashley: (on the lives she and Mary-Kate have led since childhood) Some people look at it as complete mayhem, or just paint splattered on a canvas, and yet there's so much emotion behind it. Some people will never, ever get that. No one knows what it's been like for us, and really, we don't expect anyone to know the good, the bad, or the amazing. What we do expect is for people to just respect the decisions we make.
Ashley: I don't think of myself as hot or cool or anything, just a dork.
Ashley: Some twins feel like they need to compare themselves to each other, but we're not that way. That's because of my parents, though, and having six kids in the family. We all do our own thing. Our younger sister plays club volleyball, and our older brother is an amazing writer.
Ashley: (on Mary-Kate) She's always there for me when I need her; She's my best friend; she's just my everything.

Cadillac Catera and Cimarron Forum Discussion, Greetings in Past Cadillac Vehicle Discussion; Hey crew, I'm new to the boards...wanted to introduce myself. I bought a 98' cat off the lot in beginning ...
Hey crew,
I'm new to the boards...wanted to introduce myself. I bought a 98' cat off the lot in beginning of 98. My baby only had 21miles on it. I'm still driving it today, with 74k on it. Have taken care of this car like I do my son. interior is still showroom condition, exterior is machine polished/sealed every spring. change the oil every 2k miles..... have been quite lucky...only put about $2k into repairs since i've owned it. the car still looks and drive as it did when it had 10k on it.
today is the first day i've seen these forums...quite surprised that i havent found them earlier. i spent the entire day reading through the archives.(who wants to really work anyway).
one, i'd like to get some projector headlights...doesnt have to be hid. does anyone know where you can find projector lights for the catera? $$ not an issue...just want to get rid of the nasty normal headlights.
two, i need to replace both foglight assembly's...anyone know a cheap place to find them? i find it crazy to spend $150 per foglight at the dealership.
three, for you guys looking for white gauges...i dont have an exact replacement for white gauges...but i did replace all the bulbs in the instrument cluster with blue bulbs...sure does spice the inside of the car up. its cheap too.
four, i'd like a different grill on the car...any suggestions?
five, i've been told that i can only put cadillac factory wheels on the car? i'd like to scrap the 16's and put on 18's...or at least 17's...does anyone know if you can do that?
six, the header on my driver side went out...the light still comes on when you push the button...anyone have this problem and know what the fix is? i dont want to have to replace the entire seat to warm my fat caboos
i look forward to the community here at cadillacforums.com
i have some pictures of my cat(about 2years old)...i'm going to take some new ones in a few days and will post...will include the "blue" instrument cluster lights.
i also saw a post about someone wanting to add subs to his stock bose system. yes its done very easy...just use the line converter. all you need is an amp and a sub and the system will sound amazing.
anyone have a tv in their cat? i'd like to mount one but dont know how to mount it where i'd liek it. i want it where the sunroof would be(i dont have a sunroof).
anyways, i'm sure i'll have more questions later....
thanks in advance for reading and helpin out.
Re: Greetings
1. I see you wanted to buy rhbanda's ones.. email him instead of posting because he probably wont check it. He wants 800 .. i forget it if thats for each or complete.
2. Foglights.. whats wrong with them? The site i go to for some reason only shows things like the plastic covers etc.. so ill need more info maybe. Especially if they arent working. Ill search to find assembly's
3.Only place (now) to get them is from Europe, try here: http://www.irmscher.de/com/ go to Accessories Programme>Omega>Till 1999>Saloon>Accessories Programme> Exterior
4. No, you can get custom wheels; try tirerack.com , look up your model... the wheels they have there are ones that fit your car. 5x110 is the bolt pattern and 19 x 8.0 is the max size and width.
5. Heated Seats: It may be the relay or the element(s), Http://www.cadillac-parts-dealer.com has items like that.
Re: Greetings
Welcome to the forums by the way, sounds like youve got a nice Catera there. Despite the little problems right now..
Re: Greetings
Thanks for the info.
I'm looking for 18" chrome wheels for the cat. i'm having a hard time finding any 5x110 patterns..
anyone know where to look?

Jennifer Aniston really, really needs people to start going to her movies so she is pretty much willing to do anything at this point.
In case you wanted to combine your Johnny Depp & Indiana Jones fantasies into one big mind meld. Oh, an Penelope Cruz was there too.

text: The critical situation Europe is experiencing has placed economic growth at the forefront. Consumer's confidence, industrial production, manufacturing and trade sale are topics on everybody's lips. But what exactly are consumers' expectations? Is it possible to make sustainable consumption a mass-reality in times of crisis? These and other questions were thronged and tackled at the 2012 European Consumer Day, held today in Copenhagen and organised by the European Economic and Social Committee and the Danish Consumer Council.

Ernest Hemingway was not only a great writer; he was also an ambitious traveler who spent extended periods of time in Paris, Madrid, Pamplona, Venice, Havana, and Key West. No matter where he went, he frequented the best bars and restaurants—from the Ritz in Paris to Harry's Bar in Venice—often writing about these places in his novels and short stories and thus ensuring their long-lived fame. In honor of Hemingway's upcoming birthday—he would have turned 115 years old on July 21—here are some of his favorite haunts around the world.

text: Why I Hate...Top Gear A blogger explains why he hates the motoring show starring Clarkson, Hammond and May... Comments Written By David Whitehouse 2:23 PM, 16 January 2008 I am a man. I have a car. It has four wheels and I quite like driving it. But, honestly, what else do you need to know? They go. Some faster than others. They come in different colours. Mine's blue and has got a CD player. They're also quite expensive. That's enough information, surely? It would be altogether too easy and too obvious to devote the bulk of this piece to a character assassination of Jeremy Clarkson. But, hey, what's wrong with easy and obvious? The man's a prig, a smug boor who sports a ludicrous haircut and has an unfeasibly high opinion of himself. And that's just for starters. The real wonder of Top Gear is how three unreconstructed schoolboys have persuaded the BBC to let them indulge their puerile fantasies for so long. This is nothing more than playground humour, riddled with clichés and pointless hyperbole, delivered in a grating, facetious drone. It's all so irredeemably male. With inane and laboured analogies, each banal sentence they utter is littered with sexual connotations and lame innuendo, frequently misogynistic. At least the Stig has the good grace to remain silent and faceless. Unbelievably there have been ten series of this drivel. Once you've seen one programme you've seen them all: they're indistinguishable. TV as wallpaper, now interminably repeated on bloke's TV. Each episode features a new car its audience drool over but could never afford: they may feature different cars each time but the song remains the same. They also have ludicrous challenges that arguably seem to be designed more to provide an opportunity for foreign travel than genuinely test the engineering of the car. They must have a huge budget to waste. And then, of course, there is "Star in a Reasonably Priced Car", in which celebrities check out their own testosterone levels. You can understand why Gordon Ramsay, Simon Cowell and Jimmy Carr are game for a spot of self-promotion but what on earth has induced people of the stature of Helen Mirren and Michael Gambon to participate in this garbage? This is television for the sad and mindless - everything you hate about blokes and then some. You can see them in the gormless studio audience standing around uselessly, fawning over each presenter's pathetic pronouncements, laughing to order as though drugged or hypnotised. These are people who get seriously turned on by all that talk of torque, understeer, traction control. This is nothing other than car pornography. I mean, just how fascinating are endless shots of cars driving along motorways? This is a show that promotes dangerous driving and the worst kind of blokishness. It is advertising masquerading as programming. And in these ecologically minded times is it not irresponsible of the BBC to endorse a gas-guzzling sub-culture that glories in its own enormous carbon footprint? Frankly, I would rather poke needles in my eyes than ever have to watch it again. 0 to 60 minutes and on to oblivion at the push of the remote switch. Like this? Share it.

Driftwood swap anyone?
I have 2 XL pieces that I got for my 220, but since I sold that tank Im looking for a bunch of smaller ones. I like twisty/rooty stuff. Heres what I have.
Id say this piece is just under 5' so it will need a 5' or 6' tank or to be cut down. I love the shape and the big end will anchor under some substrate to get a long branch to reach across the whole aquarium.
This one is deffinetly a one of a kind. Comes to a point at either end and has the best branch hole dead center. It has a general shape of a 1/2 cylnder or a C.
oh, stumps are cool too! Id rather drive and meet, shipping would be a pain!
Ill take $20 each or $30 for both, anyone want to rescue these from storage?

Crossroads and Mandy Patinkin
Crossroads provides sound for Mandy Patinkin in Dallas' McFarlan Auditorium
Review: Patinkin changes gears effortlessly
He's full speed ahead from songs to anecdotes
Mandy Patinkin needs no props. He's more colorful than any stage gadget. The acclaimed singer-actor can fill a platform with the sheer breadth of his personality. He's larger than life, yet seems comfortably approachable.
There he was Thursday night at Southern Methodist University's McFarlin Auditorium, dressed in simple black slacks, a red long-sleeve pullover and sneakers. He wore a headset mike, all the better to keep his hands free. Longtime piano man and musical arranger Paul Ford was his sole accompaniment, and the McFarlin stage was bare behind him. The curtains weren't even drawn. It looked like a theater rehearsal.
That was no accident. Mr. Patinkin's performance was a benefit for Colorado's Creede Repertory Theatre, the company where he learned his craft back in the early '70s. So the surroundings were an appropriate mood setter for the cause.
But most important, you got the full spectrum of Mr. Patinkin's talents with minimal distractions. Although it would be hard to imagine anybody's mind wandering from the amazing presence under the spotlight. The Chicago-born entertainer is the personification of tour de force. He's effortlessly unpredictable, manic and passionate. You never see the wheels turning.
The show was musical, of course, with Mr. Ford and Mr. Patinkin tackling a broad range of material, from Broadway tunes (his specialty) to children's songs and folk-pop classics. And yet, at least a quarter of the concert was about Mr. Patinkin telling stories about his wife, Kathryn, his two sons, Isaac and Gideon, his time at Creede and even his exasperating attempts at buying a new outfit for this tour.
Mundane stuff, all of it, but it came to vibrant, hilarious life in his hands. When he broke into song, it was almost as if he were telling another story embellished by a melody and a big finish. There were several numbers from Kidults, Mr. Patinkin's latest album, and a few more from his five other records. Every time he started a song, it was hard to tell how it would end up.
"Singin' in the Bathtub" seemed like an innocent, jovial ditty about crooning and splashing in the tub. Until out of nowhere Mr. Patinkin switched characters and became the comically irate mother of the boy who's spending too much time in the bathroom. Then, "Holiday for Strings" began as a lovely piano piece, slow and soothing, before he donned a hand puppet and morphed into a craggy heckler who speeds up the number.
Such abrupt changes are no challenge for Mr. Patinkin, who sings with the instinct of an actor and the confidence of a showman. He's theatrical but not overwrought. He can make his pliable voice go from a soft tone to an operatic belt in seconds. He's a roller-coaster ride, and you're along for the thrills.

How different would the world of restaurant criticism have been had the late Michael Winner not been served a dodgy Dover sole at Le Pont de la Tour?
The full details of that encounter 20 years ago have now been revealed by Chris Wright, the music mogul who was the dining guest of Winner and Jenny Seagrove at the meal which launched the film director's career as a food critic.
"Everybody's food did not arrive at the same time. Michael was thus already in a bit of a state when his sole arrived," Wright recalls in his autobiography, One Way Or Another .
"'This fish isn't fresh'," he told the waiter. 'I can assure you it is,' the waiter replied. Michael asked to speak to the manager and repeated his complaint.
"The French manager rolled his eyes, stormed off to the kitchen and returned waving the bill from Billingsgate. 'Look here!' he asserted. 'Here: 75 Dover soles and today's date! This fish is fresh.' The slanging match went on for 10 minutes."
Winner chronicled the details in a letter to the Sunday Times and the resulting furore earned him a weekly feature in the paper, Winner's Dinners.

Having issues with significant figures.
82.420g + 3.24g = 85.66g
Would it be 85.7g?
I don't think so.
In addition, the result may have as many s.f. as the least precise value. Since 3.24 has only two places to the right of the decimal, the answer may have two places to the right of the decimal; therefore, you need not round the .66 to .7. I would keep the answer as 85.66. Here is a site that may be of some help but post again if you don't get it.
I was thinking that since 3.24 has 3 significant figures then the answer should have 3. Very confusing.
Not confusing if you keep up with the rules. The rules are different for multiplication and division versus addition and subtraction.
For M and D you count the number of s.f., just as you did, and the number of s.f. in the answer is the same as the smallest number of s.f. in the numbers being multiplied or divided. BUT in addition and subtraction, you count the number of places to the right of the decimal and the number of places to the right of the decimal in the answer is the same as the lowest number of places in any of the numbers added or subtracted. For example,
3.20 x 1.6 = 5.120. The 3.20 has three s.f. and 1.6 has two; therefore, the answer may have two so it would be rounded to 5.1.
Adding 5.22 + 1.1 + 5.127 = 11.777. The number 1.1 determines the rounding; therefore, we round to 11.8.
That helps. Thanks so much!

Anyone have a Viridian Laser? I was thinking about buying one to go with my Olive Drab SR9 and was wondering how they stack up with other lasers in the market. It does help that there is a 50% discount on the SR9 Viridian Laser. $150 after the discount. Also helps that they came out with an OD version which would be awesome. Just having trouble deciding if it is worth it and if I can afford it.
Thanks for any help!

At the same time they try to drop Rossi's salary. Rossi says up yours I'll go to Ducati. The title sponsor also says up yours I'll take my cheque elsewhere. Doesn't really make good business sense does it? 38 agree 3 disagree

Johan Djourou's own goal gave Chelsea a half-time lead but Van Persie struck twice in three second-half minutes as Chelsea slid to a second home league defeat this season.
Champions Manchester United are now just five points behind Chelsea with a game in hand after they won 1-0 at Manchester City despite having Cristiano Ronaldo sent off. Wayne Rooney poached the winner just before half-time.
Tottenham were beaten 1-0 at home by Everton while Portsmouth beat Blackburn 3-2 at Fratton Park.
Liverpool can now move three points clear at the top tonight if they beat West Ham at Anfield.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger had refused to concede that his side's title challenge was over despite five league defeats and a 10-point deficit to the leaders.
The Frenchman's claims seemed optimistic after 31 minutes when Arsenal went behind. Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia was guilty of a careless throw-out and after Chelsea won possession Jose Bosingwa's cross was turned in by Djourou.
Arsenal were going nowhere until the 59th minute when Chelsea failed to clear and an offside-looking Van Persie turned and smashed a shot past Petr Cech.
There was no doubt about Van Persie's second as he spun on the edge of the area and hit a low left-foot shot past Cech.
United manager Alex Ferguson would have cheered Van Persie's contribution after his side deservedly won the Manchester derby with Rooney's 100th club goal.
"We needed three points today because we are chasing," Ferguson told Sky Sports. "This was a significant result today."
Rooney scored a tap-in three minutes before half-time after Michael Carrick's shot had been parried into his path by City goalkeeper Joe Hart.
United had to play the last 23 minutes with 10 men after Ronaldo was shown a second yellow card when he inexplicably met a corner using his hands rather than his head.

AACN Launches Tool Kit on the Health Insurance Marketplace
A new resource is now available for AACN members and faculty to assist students and patients in navigating the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act's (ACA) Health Insurance Marketplace.

Messages from Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Mary Wakefield, PhD, RN, on nursing's role in educating the public on the Marketplace
A presentation by Mandy Cohen, MD, MPH, Senior Advisor to the Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, and Ellen-Marie Whelan, PhD, RN, FAAN, Senior Advisor for the Innovation Center on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, about the impact of the ACA on nursing
General information about the Marketplace (enrollment, eligibility, current state action)
Activities and assignments for faculty members to utilize with students
Additional resources for nursing practices that qualify as small businesses
Strategic guidance and review of the tool kit's outline was provided by AACN's inaugural class of Faculty Policy Intensive Fellows.

A very promising act out of Sheffield, Blessa return with their second single, "Pale", still firmly lodged in the gauzy sonics that sound like a never-ending loop of the roller coaster scene in Fear. The band builds layers of reverberating guitars and winsome vocals before tipping toward a punctuating chorus, most memorably turning the word "hold" into a three syllable experience. It is love in reverse, memorialized and pretty from far away. The final movement, propulsive and seasick in the best of ways, focuses on the lyric, "it was impossibly easy for you"—which maybe it wasn't but this doesn't seem to matter here—all forgotten in the fires of an arrangement in full self-actualization mode.

AUBURN, N.Y. - At most meetings of the Zoning Board of Appeals in Auburn, there's not a large crowd; usually just the person who wants to expand their driveway, or put in a swimming pool next to a fence. But tonight's ZBA meeting, which starts at 7 p.m. at City Hall, could have a packed house.
That's because some neighborors in the historic South St. area are opposed to a new proposal for using the Case Mansion. Since 1976, Unity House had occupied the space, and among its many services, it has treated people with alcohol and drug problems, and people with mental illnesses. Many of the neighbors didn't like it at all, but they pretty much grumbled among themselves.
Now, after sitting empty for several years, Mike Henty has leased the Case Mansion from the adjacent First Presbyterian Church, and he wants to turn it into a center for veterans and young people. But many say Henty's plans are far too vague, and that it doesn't conform to the hardship requirement of the city's zoning laws.

He is also challenging the order dated 06.09.2010 by which the inquiry authority has been appointed to inquire into the charges against the Applicant.
2. The facts of the case, in a nutshell, are that the Applicant was posted as Registrar, Cooperative Societies, Delhi between the period September 1999 to February 2001. A Writ Petition (Civil) No. 10066/2004 was filed before the Honourable Delhi High Court complaining of illegal nexus between the builders and the officers of the Delhi Development Authority and the office of the Registrar of Cooperative Societies, by which land was being allotted to the ineligible societies on concessional rates and then the flats constructed thereon were being sold at market rates by the builders. The High Court, after hearing the case, directed on 13.02.2006, that a thorough investigation be conducted in the matter of 135 Cooperative Societies, which had become defunct and revived by the builders. On completion of the inquiry the CBI requested for sanction of prosecution against the Applicant, which was given on 05.06.2009 by the Department of Personnel and Training (DOP&T). It was also mentioned in the above mentioned letter that the Central Vigilance Commission (CVC) had also recommended initiation of major penalty proceedings against the Applicant and advised the Ministry of Home Affairs to take appropriate action in the matter.
3. The Article of Charges against the Applicant have been extracted below:
Article-1 Shri R.K.Srivastava, while functioning as Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS), Government of NCT of Delhi, New Delhi in the office of Registrar of Co-0perative Societies (RCS), Government of NCT of Delhi during the period between August, 1999 to February 2001 committed gross misconduct by passing revival order in respect of defunct Palwell Co-operative Group Housing Society Ltd. in collusion with S/Shri Yogiraj, the then Assistant Registrar, P.K.Thirwani, the then Sr. Auditor,Satish Aswal, the then Dealing Assistant, while working in the office of Registrar Co-operative Societies,Delhi and S/Shri Ashok Goenka, Gokul Chand Agarwal, Ashwani Sharma, Lalit Gupta dn. S.P.Saxena, all private persons who were closely associated with the affairs of the aforesaid society. The Society had been ordered to be wound up on 8.10.1992 and put under liquidation for violation of DCS Act and Rule. The Society was not found functioning from its registered address. On a letter dated 16.6.2000 submitted by Shri Gokul Chand Aggarwal, Secretary of the Society, Shri R.K. Srivastava passed an order dated 15.12.2000 for revival of the society on the basis of false and forged documents. Shri R.K. Srivastava ordered for revival of the Society on the basis of false and forged documents/affidavits processed and put up by Shri Satish Aswal, dealing hand without due verification/cross checking of records. Later, on a note date 5.1.2001 put up by Shri Satish Aswal, dealing assistant, Shri R.K. Srivastava approved the list of 60 members and ordered for forwarding the same to DDA for the allotment of land. Original members of the Society had been falsely shown to have resigned from the membership of the Society and their signatures were forged on the resignation letters.
Shri R.K.Srivastava by his above acts exhibited lack of integrity, devotion to duty, unbecoming of a Government servant and thereby violated Rule 3 of All India Service (Conduct) Rules, 1968.
Article-II Shri R.K.Srivastava, while functioning as Registrar of Co-operative Societies (RCS), Government of NCT of Delhi, New Delhi in the office of Registrar of Cooperative Societies (RCS), Government of NCT of Delhi, New Delhi during the period between August 1999 to February, 2001 committed gross misconduct in as much as knowingly ignored the initial note put up on the file by Shri S. Subramanium, dealing assistant after receipt of application for the revival of the Palwell Co-operative Group Housing Society Ltd. and in which inter-alia, physical inspection/verification of the said Society and its records was recommended but no physical inspection/verification of the Society was carried out. Shri R.K.Srivastava, however, approved the bogus list of members of the Society which was forwarded to Delhi Development Authority for allotment of land at prefixed rates which were very low in comparison to prevailing market rates.
Shri R.K.Srivatava by his above acts exhibited lack of integrity, devotion to duty, unbecoming of a Government servant and thereby violated rule 3 of All India Service (Conduct) Rules, 1968.
4. The learned senior counsel for the Applicant argued that about 135 FIRs were filed after the CBI completed the investigation, but it was only the Applicant who had to face both the criminal prosecution as well as departmental proceedings. No action was taken against other persons holding the post of Registrar before him and involved in the alleged scam. It was urged that during that period Shri Gopal Dixit, the Applicant and Shri N. Diwakar were posted as Registrar of Cooperative Societies, but departmental proceedings were not initiated against the other two persons posted as Registrar of Cooperative Societies, although the charges in the criminal trial against the aforementioned two persons were the same as against the Applicant.
5. It was further submitted that on receiving the Memorandum of Charge the Applicant had given a representation to the Secretary, Ministry of Home Affairs, the first Respondent herein, that the orders passed by him in exercise of quasi-judicial powers could not be a subject matter of disciplinary proceedings. It was submitted that in the quasi-judicial proceeding the concerned officer acts independently only under the statute, which he is supposed to administer. The Applicant has worked according to the provisions of the law regarding regulation of Cooperative Societies and the pronouncements of the courts in this regard. The action of the Respondents would amount to undermining the judicial process and call in question the exercise of quasi-judicial powers vested in the Registrar. It was submitted that there was no charge of the Applicant acquiring any material gains in the process of revival of defunct societies or that he acted from corrupt motive. There was no allegation that the Applicant tried to give undue favour to anyone and that he acted recklessly and in a grossly negligent manner.
6. It was also contended that the Applicant was facing a criminal trial and issues before the court were complex in nature and involved determination of complicated questions of fact and law. In the circumstances the Respondents were not justified in ordering departmental proceedings against the Applicant. The Applicant would be compelled to disclose his case even before the prosecution had stated its own case in the criminal trial and thus he would be deprived of a fair and just trial.
7. It has been contended that the Applicant has acted as per the provisions of the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act and Rules. It was argued that there was no provision in the above mentioned Act and Rule for deputing Area Inspector for physical verification. Under Section 40 of the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act, entries of the list of members of share-holders kept with any Cooperative Society is prima facie evidence of the particulars entered in that register with respect to the date on which the name of any person is entered in the register, who becomes a member or ceases to be a member. It was, therefore, patently wrong on the part of the Respondents to allege that he had knowingly ignored the contents of the note put up by the dealing hand recommending physical verification of the information provided by the Society. A legitimate action performed by a quasi-judicial authority could not be questioned even though it might result in benefit to a person, contended the learned senior counsel for the Applicant. The contents of the impugned Memorandum of Charge did not disclose any misconduct committed by him. The Applicant carried out certain acts in discharge of his quasi-judicial powers as Registrar of Cooperative Societies. He was legally bound to decide every application made to him under the provisions of the Delhi Cooperative Societies Act and could not abdicate his responsibilities. In order to commit misconduct there should be some impropriety in the actions of the Applicant and element of unlawful behaviour and wilful disregard of the law. Errors of judgement would not constitute misconduct and these would have to be corrected in a higher judicial forum. The Respondents never challenged the order passed by the Applicant before the appellate authority, which showed that the order passed by the Applicant was correct and proper.
8. It was further argued that the Respondents had completely failed to account for the delay in issuing the Memorandum of Charge highly belatedly. Such action of the Respondents had caused serious prejudice to the Applicant inasmuch as he would not be able to recall the events from such distant past.
9. The Respondents have opposed the cause of the Applicant on the ground that the action had been initiated against the Applicant on the direction of the Honourable Delhi High Court and the CVC.
10. We have given our utmost consideration to the arguments of the learned counsel for the parties and perused the pleadings in the OA and the counter reply of the Respondents. We have also minutely perused the records placed before us, including the file number 14033/5/08 II of the Ministry of Home Affairs.
11. Mainly the following arguments have been advanced on behalf of the Applicant during the course of submission:
(a) the reason for delay in issuing the charge sheet has not been explained by the Respondents and the delay has prejudiced the defence of the Applicant;
(b) a criminal case and disciplinary proceedings cannot be simultaneously pursued against the Applicant especially when the charges against the Applicant in the criminal proceedings were complex and involved interpretation of complicated facts and law;
(c) the Applicant has been discriminated against because no action has been taken against two other officers, who were working as Registrars of Cooperative Societies during the period of the alleged scam and criminal trial is going on against them; and
(d) the Applicant could not be proceeded against departmentally because he passed the order, which is alleged to be irregular, as quasi-judicial authority.
12. Usually in judicial review the Tribunal should not interfere with the Memorandum of Charge and let the inquiry proceed. Delay in issuing the charge sheet can be one ground for interference, but it is subject to condition that it would depend on the facts of each and every case. If the reasons for delay could be reasonably explained, there would be no need for interfering with the Memorandum of Charge. It is unfortunate that the Respondents have not made any attempt to explain the reasons for delay, which are not far to seek. Normally, we would have accepted the contention of the Applicant that the Memorandum of Charge should be quashed because the long delay in issuing the same had not been explained and the Respondents had not even answered the contention raised in paragraph 5 F of the OA about the delay in issuing charge sheet causing prejudice to the Applicant. However, the charges against the Applicant are serious and also since the delay is so obviously explained by the facts of the case, we are rejecting it. The matter regarding the alleged irregularities came to notice on the Writ Petition (Civil) number 10066/2004 being filed before the Honourable Delhi High Court. The High Court directed in the year 2006 that enquiry into the matter should be made. The CBI completed this inquiry in the year 2008. A similar issue was considered by the Honourable Supreme Court in Food Corporation of India Vs. V.P. Bhatia, JT 1998 (8) SC 16. The Honourable Supreme Court has considered the facts and circumstance of this case to decide whether there was undue delay in serving Memorandum of Charge on the respondent. In this case the CBI was informed by the appellant that sub-standard crates had been supplied to the FCI. On investigation it was found that the crates supplied were indeed sub-standard and that it had caused loss of Rs. 13 lakhs. In its report submitted on 30.12.1988 the CBI recommended holding of disciplinary proceedings against the employees of the appellant-Corporation. Memorandum of Charge was served on the respondent in November 1990. V.P. Bhatia filed a writ petition before the High Court, which was allowed on the ground that the FCI should not have waited for the report of the CBI and should have initiated inquiry straightaway when the misconduct was discovered in the year 1987 itself. The High Court also observed that there was delay even after the submission of the report by the CBI in 1988 because the inquiry was initiated only in 1990. In paragraph 4 of its judgement the Supreme Court observed that:
"4. It is no doubt true that undue delay in initiating of disciplinary proceedings may cause prejudice to the employees concerned in defending himself and, therefore, the courts insist that disciplinary proceedings should be initiated with promptitude and should be completed expeditiously." (emphasis added).
However, it was observed in the same paragraph that:
"........ The question whether there is undue delay in initiation of disciplinary proceedings or they are being unnecessarily prolonged has to be considered in the light of the facts of the particular case."
In this case the appellant, FCI, brought it to the notice of the Supreme Court that Chapter III of Volume I of the Vigilance Manual of the CVC, as adopted by the appellant, mandated that once an enquiry is entrusted to the CBI, departmental inquiry should be kept in abeyance till such time as the investigation by the CBI has been completed. In the circumstances the Honourable Supreme Court held that the delay in serving the charge sheet was not unduly long. In State of Punjab and others Vs. Chaman Lal Goyal, (1995) 2 SC 570, it was held that:
"But how long a delay is too long always depends on the facts of the given case. Moreover, if such delay is likely to cause prejudice to the delinquent officer in defending himself, the enquiry has to be interdicted. Wherever, such the plea is raised, the court has to weigh the factors appearing for and against the said plea and take a decision on the totality of circumstances. In other words the court has to indulge in the process of balancing."
In the instant OA before us, there was a case pending before the Honourable Delhi High Court. Directions were given in the year 2006. The inquiry would naturally have taken time as there were 135 cases before the CBI for inquiry. After submission of the report of the CBI on 31.07.2008, the matter had to be processed for sanction of prosecution, which was given on 05.06.2009. Advice of CVC had also to be taken for initiating departmental proceedings. In the light of these facts and considering that the charge against the delinquent officer is very serious, we are not inclined to interfere with the charge sheet on the ground that it has been served on him belatedly.
13. The issue regarding disciplinary proceedings being maintainable against the orders of quasi-judicial authority has been examined by the Honourable Supreme Court in several judgments. This Tribunal in its judgement in Kamal Kishore Dhawan Vs. the Secretary, Ministry of Finance and others, OA number 1179/2008 decided on 6th February 2009 comprehensively considered the various judgements of the Honourable Supreme Court including Union of India and others Vs. K.K. Dhawan, (1993) 2 SCC 56; Zunjarrao Bhikaji Nagarkar Vs. Union of India and Others, (1999) 7 SCC 409; Union of India and others vs. Duli Chand, (2006)5 SCC 680; Cholan Roadways Ltd. Vs. G. Thirugnanasambandam, (2005) 3 SCC 241; Inspector Prem Chand Vs. Government of NCT of Delhi and others, (Civil Appeal number 1815/2007, decided on 05.04.2007); and Ramesh Chander Singh Vs. High Court of Allahabad and another, (2007) 4 SCC 247. It was observed that in K.K. Dhwan (supra) the Supreme Court distilled six instances, where an officer could be departmentally proceeded against while performing quasi-judicial functions:
Where the officer had acted in a manner as would reflect on his reputation for integrity or good faith or devotion to duty;
If there is prima facie material to show recklessness or misconduct in the discharge of his duty;
if he has acted in a manner which is unbecoming of a Government servant;
if he had acted negligently or that he omitted the prescribed conditions which are essential for the exercise of the statutory powers;
if he had acted in order to unduly favour a party;
if he had been actuated by corrupt motive, however small the bribe may be because Lord Coke said long ago though the bribe may be small, yet the fault is great. The Honourable Supreme Court also observed that:
instances above catalogued are not exhaustive. However, we may add that for a mere technical violation or merely because the order is wrong and the action not falling under the above enumerated instances, disciplinary action is not warranted. Here, we may utter a word of caution. Each case will depend upon the facts and no absolute rule can be postulated. It was also observed that the charged officer may submit all his pleas before the inquiry authority and the disciplinary authority, which would be considered on merit. In Zunjarrao Bhikaji Nagarkar (supra) an identical issue was considered by the Supreme Court. While quoting the above six instances from K.K. Dhawan's (supra) case, it was further observed that:
When we talk of negligence in a quasi-judicial adjudication, it is not negligence perceived as carelessness, inadvertence or omission but as culpable negligence. It was further held that:
A wrong interpretation of law cannot be a ground for misconduct. Of course it is a different matter altogether if it is deliberate and actuated with mala fides. It was also observed that there should be some basis for the disciplinary authority to hold even prima facie that undue favour has been shown to a party. The matter was again considered by the Supreme Court in Duli Chand (supra). The said Duli Chand was punished on the ground that he had wrongly allowed claims for refund to a person on three different occasions. The Tribunal, where the order of punishment was challenged, relying on Zunjarrao Bhikaji Nagarkar (supra) held that disciplinary proceedings would not lie against an officer discharging quasi-judicial functions unless it was stated was established that some undue advantage had accrued to the said officer. The order of the Tribunal was confirmed by the High Court. The Honourable Supreme Court, however, considered the decision of the three-judge Bench in K.K. Dhawan and observed that the officer exercising quasi-judicial functions negligently or recklessly could be proceeded against departmentally. The instances noted in K.K. Dhawan were reproduced in this judgement also. It was also observed that the view taken in Zunjarrao Bhikaji Nagarkar (supra) was different from the view expressed in K.K. Dhawan (supra) and the decision in the latter case being of a larger bench, would prevail. The Tribunal then considered the judgements in Cholan Roadways Ltd (supra), Inspector Prem Chand and Ramesh Chander Singh (supra). It was observed that:
In Cholan Roadways (supra) which is judgment of a Bench consisting of two Honble Judges, the Supreme Court relied upon its judgment in Nagarkars case as well for granting the desired relief. In Prem Chand (supra), which again is by a Bench consisting of two Honble Judges, while granting the relief, the Apex Court placed reliance upon its judgment in Nagarkars case as well. Negligence simpliciter has not been held to be misconduct. The only difference, it appears to us between the judgment of the Honble Court in the case of the applicant himself [K. K. Dhawan (supra)] and Duli Chand, and its judgments in Nagarkar followed in Cholan Roadways and Prem Chand, is that whereas, in one set of judgments, i.e., K. K. Dhawan and Duli Chand gross negligence can also be a misconduct for which departmental enquiry can be held even if the charged officer was discharging functions in his quasi judicial capacity, whereas in Nagarkar, Cholan Roadways and Prem Chand, it would be culpable negligence of an officer which can be tested in a departmental enquiry. The two decisions in Cholan Roadways and Prem Chand, as mentioned above, are by Benches consisting of two Honble Judges, whereas the one recorded by the Honble Supreme Court in Duli Chand (supra) is by a Bench consisting of three Honble Judges. In the two later decisions referred to above, the decision in Duli Chand has not been considered. In the circumstances, as mentioned above, the decision of larger Bench has to be followed. However, the Honble Supreme Court in its judgment in Ramesh Chander Singh (supra), which is by a coordinate Bench consisting of three Judges, while granting the relief, has placed reliance upon Nagarkars case as well. After considering the facts of the case in Ramesh Chander Singh (supra), it was observed that:
While referring to the law laid down in Nagarkars case (supra), it was held, Of course, if the judicial officer conducted in a manner as would reflect on his reputation or integrity or good faith or there is a prima facie material to show recklessness or misconduct in discharge of his duties or he had acted in a manner to unduly favour a party or had passed an order actuated by corrupt motive, the High Court by virtue of its power under Article 235 of the Constitution may exercise its supervisory jurisdiction. The reading of the judgment and the observations made therein would indeed reflect that when it is a case of negligence, it ought to have some overtones or undertones of culpability. The charge against the Applicant is that he passed the orders for revival of the Palwell Cooperative Society in December 2000 on the basis of false and forged documents. The society had been wound up on 8th of October 1992 and put under liquidation under the Delhi Co-Operative Societies Act, 1972. A letter was submitted in June 2000 by the Secretary of the Society for its revival. The order for revival was passed without cross verification or checking of records. The advice of the dealing assistant for physical inspection and verification of the records was also ignored. The facts and circumstances of the case are such that the disciplinary authority cannot be faulted for holding prima facie that it was not simple negligence but an act for which the blame would lie on the Applicant also. It is not what is expected from a person of normal prudence to be not able to suspect that there could be something wrong in the sudden revival of a society, which had become defunct eight years back. It was imprudent to just rely on the documents produced by the Secretary of the Palwell Cooperative Society, without subjecting the claim to thorough investigation, including physical verification. Wrong revival of a Cooperative Society could lead to enormous undue advantage to the builder. Therefore, it would appear prima facie that the Applicant was culpable and had to answer for his actions before the inquiry authority and the disciplinary authority. We are unable to accept the argument that even in this case the Applicant would be immune from disciplinary proceedings because he was performing quasi-judicial function.
14. The issue regarding simultaneous criminal proceedings and disciplinary inquiry has been considered by the Honourable Supreme Court in Capt. M. Paul Anthony Vs. Bharat Gold Mines Ltd and another, (1999) 3 SCC 679. After considering the case law in this matter, it was held that:
22. The conclusions which are deducible from various decisions of this Court referred to above are:
(i) Departmental proceedings and proceedings in a criminal case can proceed simultaneously as there is no bar in their being conducted simultaneously, though separately.
(ii) If the departmental proceedings and the criminal case are based on identical and similar set of facts and the charge in the criminal case against the delinquent employee is of a grave nature which involves complicated questions of law and fact, it would be desirable to stay the departmental proceedings till the conclusion of the criminal case.
(iii) Whether the nature of a charge in a criminal case is grave and whether complicated questions of fact and law are involved in that case, will depend upon the nature of offence, the nature of the case launched against the employee on the basis of evidence and material collected against him during investigation or as reflected in the charge-sheet.
(iv) The factors mentioned at (ii) and (iii) above cannot be considered in isolation to stay the departmental proceedings but due regard has to be given to the fact that the departmental proceedings cannot be unduly delayed.
(v) If the criminal case does not proceed or its disposal is being unduly delayed, the departmental proceedings, even if they were stayed on account of the pendency of the criminal case, can be resumed and proceeded with so as to conclude them at an early date, so that if the employee is found not guilty his honour may be vindicated and in case he is found guilty, the administration may get rid of him at the earliest. Although the charge against the Applicant is of grave nature, but the Applicant has failed to show how complicated questions of law and fact are involved in this case so that the disciplinary proceedings should be stayed. The argument that the defence of the charged officer would be prematurely disclosed in the criminal case has not been held to be a ground by the Honourable Supreme Court order
15. We do not agree that merely because two other officers, who were holding the post of Registrar Cooperative Societies during the period of scam have not been proceeded against departmentally, although criminal cases are pending against them also would amount to discrimination against the Applicant and would be in violation of Article 14 of the Constitution. The charge against the Applicant is specifically about the revival of Palwell Cooperative Society and not about the general scam. It cannot, therefore, be said to be an act of discrimination.
16. Considering all the aspects of the case and the judicial pronouncements of the Honourable Supreme Court, we are of the view that the Respondents can proceed against the Applicant in departmental proceedings also, while a criminal case for the same cause of action, based on the same documents and set of witnesses, is also pending against him. The OA is dismissed. No costs.

Angels Take Hit at Third
March 10, 2005
Mike DiGiovanna, Times Staff Writer
A herniated disk in Dallas McPherson's lower back will sideline the Angel third baseman for two to four weeks, thrusting Robb Quinlan into the starting third base job to open the season, creating an opportunity for infielder Maicer Izturis to make the team and knocking some power out of the Angels' projected lineup. McPherson, who hit 40 home runs in the minor leagues last season and was all but handed Troy Glaus' third base job this spring, was examined by Dr.
Angels deliver in the clutch
July 15, 2010
By Mike DiGiovanna
The Angels hit the skids in Chicago and Oakland last week, going 1-6 against the White Sox and Athletics on their last trip before the All-Star break. Thursday night, they popped the clutch. After tallying seven hits — total — with runners in scoring position in those seven road games, the Angels racked up seven hits in 12 at-bats with runners in scoring position Thursday night for an 8-3 victory over the Seattle Mariners in Angel Stadium. Erick Aybar had three hits and three runs batted in, Jeff Mathis had three hits and two runs, and Bobby Abreu had two hits and three RBIs, as an Angels club that hit .189 and was outscored, 44-14, on the last trip opened the second half on a high note.
Angels' Hideki Matsui starts in left field
July 5, 2010
By Ben Bolch
Reporting from Chicago — Hideki Matsui spent several minutes in the clubhouse Monday afternoon pounding his glove with a small wooden mallet. Then he used the end of a bat to pound it some more. The Angels slugger got even more help breaking in the glove a few hours later when he started a second consecutive game in left field for the first time this season. With Juan Rivera sidelined for a sixth consecutive game because of problems associated with blurry vision, Matsui was again an Angel in the outfield.
Angels' bench is shallow and full of holes
July 19, 2010
By Ben Bolch
With the potential tying run on second base and one out in the ninth inning Sunday, Mike Scioscia turned to his bench. The Angels' manager wanted a pinch-hitter for catcher Jeff Mathis , who was hitless in his first three at-bats, but the players at Scioscia's disposal might have seemed more like last resorts than enticing options. There was Cory Aldridge , who had one major league hit in 14 professional seasons; Bobby Wilson , who was batting .200 against right-handed pitchers; and Brandon Wood , whose season-long slump had only deepened amid a two-for-20 slide.
Angels put Scott Kazmir on DL
July 18, 2010
By Ben Bolch
A few hours before the Angels played Seattle on Sunday, Scott Kazmir said he was "definitely looking forward" to putting a horrid first half of the season behind him when he made his first start after the All-Star break Tuesday against the New York Yankees. So much for that. After the Angels' 2-1 loss to the Mariners at Angel Stadium, Kazmir was placed on the disabled list with what the team described as fatigue in his left shoulder, something Kazmir made no mention of during a pregame interview.
Angels' Ervin Santana could sue for nonsupport after 2-1, 10-inning loss to Seattle
July 18, 2010
By Ben Bolch
Torii Hunter turned 35 on Sunday. He only wishes he felt his age. "The last seven days," the Angels center fielder said, "I felt like I was 50." There was an All-Star game to host and precious little time to relax before a four-game series that the Angels concluded with a 2-1 loss in 10 innings to the Seattle Mariners at Angel Stadium. Hunter hit a bumpy patch in what has been a season of smooth swings. He was two for 17 without an extra-base hit in the series, lining into a double play to end a sixth inning Sunday in which the Angels failed to score after Howie Kendrick hit a leadoff triple.
Angels are breaking bad with their latest loss
July 11, 2010
By Ben Bolch
Reporting from Oakland — The All-Star break officially started for the Angels at 3:50 p.m. PDT Sunday, when Bobby Abreu grounded out to second base on Oakland closer Andrew Bailey's final pitch. It was about time. The weary-looking Angels played as if they were off from the moment their charter plane left the tarmac in Southern California on July 4, concluding a terrible trip with a 5-2 loss to the Athletics at Oakland-Alameda Coliseum. "Some players knew the break was coming," center fielder Torii Hunter said after the Angels finished the trip with a 1-6 mark, "and you can really see it. . . . We've been traveling a lot and mentally you can get worn out."

Chaminade Finishes Strong Run
May 16, 1998
The Chaminade High baseball team capped a remarkable season-ending run with a 6-2 Mission League victory over St. Francis on Friday at Chaminade. The Eagles (14-13-1, 5-6-1 in league play) won five consecutive games to end the season and qualify for an at-large berth in the Southern Section playoffs. A record of .500 or better is required for a playoff berth. Spencer Gordon hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning and Jim Milkovich had two hits, including a two-run double in the fifth.
