One fanatical football supporter has made the ultimate tribute to assassinated Colombia international Andres Escobar - by having the defender's shirt tattooed all over his body.
Felipe Alvarez was just nine years old when Escobar was murdered by a man connected with Colombian gambling syndicates after he scored an own goal against USA at the 1994 World Cup.
Tributes are paid to the late defender every year on the anniversary of his death, especially at Atletico Nacional, where he spent most of his career.
However, 25-year-old Alvarez has taken those tributes to a whole new level by having Escobar's shirt - complete with squad number - tattooed on his torso, shoulders and arms.
With all those green stripes to fill in, it must have cost him a few pesos. Perhaps he should have got the sponsor's name across his chest too to help with the cost.
It might have been about this time that Alvarez was beginning to regret his decision.
Check out this loving attention to detail.
Past the halfway mark. No turning back now!
Whatever you do, don't go over the lines.
Alvarez's efforts are rewarded with a presentation on matchday by Atletico legend and former team-mate of Escobar, Victor Hugo Aristazabal.
Now fully kitted out, Alvarez leads the tributes to Escobar.

Shibata wrests Japanese 154lb belt
By Joe Koizumi
Ex-OPBF champ Akio Shibata (18-7-1, 8 KOs), 153.75, captured the Japanese super-welter belt from defending titlist Daisuke Nakagawa (19-3-2, 15 KOs), 153.5, as he made best use of his swift footwork based on his experience as a basketball player, smartly countered the game but slower champ and withstood his retaliation down the stretch, winning a unanimous verdict (96-95, 96-94 and 98-93) over ten sizzling rounds on Saturday in Tokyo, Japan. It's an interesting affair of a slow starter and an early starter, both six-footers, as Shibata, a quick speedster, piled up good points in the first six rounds, while Nakagawa, two-time champ in the 147 and 154-pound categories, showed his last surge to overcome his early deficits on points from the seventh round onward. Shibata had yielded his OPBF throne to Charlie Ota Bellamy, an American hard-puncher living here, in 2010 and failed to win it back from him last year—both via a KO route. Some people then castigated his defeats caused by his lack of heart and stamina, but Shibata tonight displayed his determination to wrest the belt again, fighting with his top speed from the outset. Their difference on precision accounted for his re-coronation regardless of the margins on the tallies. The crestfallen ex-champ, four years his senior at 34, said he would hang up gloves for good for the sake of his family.
WBA#8 lightweight and ex-world challenger Takashi Miura (23-2-2, 17 KOs), 135, dropped Filipino Dison Cag-Ong (11-7, 6 KOs), 132.75, with a southpaw left and halted him with his furious follow-up attack at 2:35 of the second session in a scheduled eight. Miura had an unsuccessful shot at the WBA 130-pound belt against Takashi Uchiyama, quitting with a deteriorated vision after the eighth—though once flooring the champ with his devastating left—in January of the previous year. He demonstrated his lethal weapon against the Filipino youngster.
Former OPBF ruler Motoki Sasaki (38-9-1, 23 KOs), 136.25, won a unanimous decision (79-74, 80-73 and 80-72) over game and gallant Filipino Amor Tino (14-11-2, 4 KOs), over eight.

I buy these cookies regularly throughout the year for our grandson who lives in Texas. He LOVES them and now, so do his parents. He told me the last time they came, Daddy and Mom ate "some of them so there were less cookies for me." Guess it is a good thing when everyone likes them.

I sent the smiley cookies to my 25 year old daughter to celebrate her Birthday month, July. We are sailing soon on vacation, so I was thrilled to find fishes! We took her to Eat n Park a lot when she was little and she loved the cookies. The website was easy to navigate and I was happy with the cost. She was delighted with her gift.

Baltimore, Md. – The One Love Foundation in honor of Yeardley Reynolds Love, today announced University of North Carolina's Zoe Skinner and Loyola University's Jason Crane have been selected as the 2013 Yeardley Reynolds Love ("YRL") Unsung Hero Award winners. Now in its third year, the award celebrates selfless acts of initiative and commitment performed by Division I lacrosse players. Zoe and Jason are being awarded based on their exceptional dedication, integrity, humility, hard work, community service, leadership, kindness and sportsmanship, traits Yeardley exemplified on-and-off the field.
The YRL Unsung Hero Award winners are chosen from a pool of applicants nominated by either a coach or person associated with Division I lacrosse programs throughout the United States. The award's selection committee highlights their ten finalists (five women, five men), who were announced on May 1, then choose the winners to announce leading up to the culmination of the NCAA lacrosse season. Each winner will receive a silver bowl recognizing their accomplishment, a $250 donation in their name to a charity of their choice, acknowledgment on both the One Love Foundation website (www.JoinOneLove.org) and InsideLacrosse.com, the award's media partner.
Sharon Robinson, Yeardley's cousin and a member of the award's selection committee said, "We are so impressed with both Zoe and Jason and are proud to celebrate the positive influences that each of them have had on their teams, and on the community at large. Like Yeardley, they both epitomize the goodness in collegiate athletics that is sometimes overlooked in our society. They are amazing student-athletes and we salute them for their humble leadership."
A Baltimore, Md. native and junior on the North Carolina's semifinal women's lacrosse team, Zoe leads many community service projects andpushes her teammates behind-the-scenes. Last summer, she spent time in Vietnam with the Atlantic Coast Conference Student-Athletes Coach for College Teacher program, teaching English and coaching volleyball to 5th grade children in Southern Vietnam. Also serving as the women's lacrosse liaison with Carolina Athletics Outreach, Zoe coordinates the team's volunteer efforts with UNC Hospitals, Murdoch Development Center, New Hope Elementary School, Share Your Christmas Foundation and UNCLaxForKellie. She does the same on the field, tirelessly working behind-the-scenes to improve her teammates in practice.
"I'm thrilled to have Zoe earn this recognition. We do a lot of outreach at Carolina, and more times than not, Zoe is part of the efforts in some way," said Cricket Lane, UNC Assistant Director for Student-Athlete Development. "She's been involved in so many projects, yet she puts her heart into every single one. And in addition to reaching out herself, she's great at getting her teammates and other student-athletes involved and invested, making her impact that much greater. Her enthusiasm is contagious and her positive attitude affects everyone around her. She's a great role model and is very deserving of this honor."
In his first year at Loyola University, Jason missed much of fall practice with a hand injury, but he quickly became close with his teammates and coaches, and showed leadership qualities early on. Displaying initiative, courage and leadership in December 2012, he reached out to the director of youth lacrosse in Newtown, Conn. to ask how Loyola Lacrosse could assist in the wake of the tragic shooting that claimed the lives of 26 people at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Jason then organized a clinic, gathering 13 of his teammates during their winter break to travel to Newtown and put on a free clinic for the youth in town. On the field, Jason stepped in to a role on the Greyhounds' rope unit as a long-stick midfielder in his first collegiate season.
"Jason's compassion and enthusiasm to help those around him truly embodies the shared memories of Yeardley and how she gave herself to others without asking for anything in return," commented Jeff Tousignant, President of Newtown Youth Lacrosse. "His offer to help our community and rally the support of his fellow teammates to visit our children in their darkest moment brought smiles to their faces and those of their families; it helped put laughter back in their voices. It is something our children and parents will never forget. I could think of no finer person to receive this wonderful award."
In 2010, Yeardley was honored with the Betty and Money Yates Unsung Hero Award at the University of Virginia, which is given out each year to a lacrosse player that best exemplifies dedication and leadership to the team. For more information on the YRL Unsung Hero Award and its past recipients, visit the official website at www.JoinOneLove.org/UnsungHeroes.

About the One Love Foundation:

In September 2012, One Love launched its "Be 1 for Change" campaign to heighten public awareness and perception of the Relationship Violence epidemic in the United States.

The students use Mathematica everywhere -- all over campus, on their own

thing, it just wouldn't be worth it. It's not like the behavior of Limit

[MLS PREVIEW: Week 29] It's rare that a showcase MLS match features two rivals close to full strength, and rarer still that the game gets the evening all to itself.
All the elements are in place for a Friday night special at CenturyLink Field, where Seattle hosts
Real Salt Lake (10 p.m. ET, NBCSN) in a showdown of the Western Conference's top two teams. More than 52,000 tickets have already been distributed for the game.
Leader RSL (14-8-6,
48 points) has taken the teams' two meetings so far this season by scores of 2-0 and 2-1, yet Seattle (14-8-4, 46 points) would take over the top spot by winning. It also holds two games in hand
over RSL.
There will be aftereffects of the recent international fixture dates, as many of the principals involved were in action earlier this week. RSL forward Alvaro Saborio was a late sub for Costa Rica against the USA last Friday and left camp early to return to his club team. RSL midfielder Kyle
Beckerman and the Sounders strike force of Clint Dempsey and Eddie Johnson all played against Mexico Tuesday:
Beckerman and Dempsey went the full 90, Johnson notched a goal in 75 minutes of action before leaving the field after he banged his head on the grass.
Beckerman scored one of the goals in
RSL's 2-0 defeat of the Sounders at Rio Tinto Stadium June 22. Robbie Findley tallied in both of the games against Seattle and is third on the team in
goals this season with six, trailing Saborio (10) and Javier Morales (7). Morales is among the league leaders in assists with 10, and RSL is getting good
production out of Joao Plata, second on the team with eight assists.
Despite playing only 16 of Seattle's 26 matches, Johnson is tied for the
team lead in goals for Seattle. Lamar Neagle, Obafemi Martins and Johnson each has seven. Dempsey has yet to record a
goal or an assist while starting three of his four appearances for the Sounders, yet his acquisition is a main reason many observers are picking Seattle to reach MLS Cup for the first time.
Seattle is also the league's hottest team with seven wins in its last eight games, including home victories last week over Chivas USA (1-0) and Chicago (2-1). RSL is on a two-game winning
streak with 4-2 and 4-0 wins and sat out last weekend's league action.
EASTERN FACTORS. Two crucial games will likely shuffle the standings
amongst the bubble teams in the Eastern Conference as the teams sitting fourth through seventh, which are clustered within three points of each other, square off head-to-head.
Fourth-place Philadelphia (10-9-9, 39 pts.) hosts sixth-place Houston (10-10-7, 37 pts.) Saturday (7:30 p.m., MLS Direct Kick). The reeling Dynamo is 0-3-1 in its last four games and the Union is
coming off a tough 1-0 loss at San Jose last weekend.
Houston is actually tied for fifth place with New England (10-10-7, 37 pts.); the Revs hold fifth place on the second tiebreaker,
goals scored, heading into their game at seventh-place Chicago (10-11-6, 36 pts.).
New England opened the season with a 1-0 win in Chicago, and also won the last meeting, 2-0, at Gillette
Stadium Aug. 17 on goals by Juan Agudelo and Kelyn Rowe. That victory pushed New England ahead of Chicago in the
standings and nearly a month later, the teams are still separated by just one point.

ON TOUR: Williams into Final at Palm Coast (Fla.) Futures
Former Vol Rhyne Wiliams reached his fifth career professional tennis final Saturday thanks to another straight-set victory at the Palm Coast (Fla.) Futures.
Williams knocked off sixth-seeded Gabriel Moraru 6-2, 6-4 in the semifinals to reach the title match of the $10,000 level tournament. He faces Australian prospect Jason Kubler in Sunday's final.
Williams has won his first four matches in straight sets in the tournament. Last week, he reached the semifinals of the Weston (Fla.) Futures. The Knoxville native has reached five finals and won two Futures titles in his career: in Pittsburgh in 2007 and 2011 in Innisbrook, Fla.
On Monday, he will crack the top 500 ATP singles ranking for the first time in his career.
And in Dallas: Tennys Sandgren beat wildcard Charles Boyce 6-2, 6-4 to advance to the second round of qualifying at the Dallas Challenger, a $100,000 event. He faces the sixth seed in qualifying, Kevin Kim, on Sunday.

Sales of financial crisis board game surge in UK's richest area
By John Geddie and Alasdair Pal
LONDON (Reuters) - There will be no Christmas break from market mayhem for London's financial elite if sales of a board game based on a banking collapse are anything to go by.
Market Meltdown, which has echoes of the 2008 financial crisis that led to the worst UK recession since World War Two, is one of the bestsellers in the Peter Jones store in Sloane Square, home to hundreds of bankers and hedge fund managers.
Manufacturer Clarendon Games has seen sales of the game more than double this year and creator Will Sorrell has noted particular interest from financial professionals.
"I assume the people that are making big investments make their decisions based on rational reasons, but they tell me that markets aren't always rational," said Sorrell, whose father was a stockbroker in the "boom and bust" 1980s.
Situated in the London borough of Kensington and Chelsea -- where the average house price is over 2 million pounds ($3.13 million) -- Peter Jones has been restocking the game more than any other store over the last month, according to the manufacturer, which did not want to publish sales figures.
Peter Jones' parent company, John Lewis, confirmed it was one of the branch's top sellers.
The game is reminiscent of Monopoly, the 80-year old classic in which players try to amass a fortune in property speculation. But in Market Meltdown, players start rich and try to stay solvent in the face of defaults, spiraling debts and bonus caps.
Flying private jets round the board, they bet on the stock market (represented by a roulette wheel), and can "go rogue" by borrowing up to a billion pounds to cover losses should their trades go awry. Continued...

Answers to a few general questions about moving to France from the Ask an Expat series of posts.
What's the Most Difficult Thing About Living in France?
I thought it would be a good idea to create a Q&A series about living abroad, and, more specifically, about life in France. If you have ever lived abroad, are toying with the idea of making the move, or just like dreaming about what it might be like, you may find some of the questions in this series helpful. I'm starting with a bit of a tough question because although we might all have a love affair with La Belle France, it's important to be informed of the potential challenges of living abroad before deciding to take the big leap to la vie française.
Of course, everyone will experience life abroad differently, but, only speaking for myself, I have found that the challenges I faced living in Italy are quite the same as the ones I currently face in France. There can be many trials living in another country, but I believe the following three issues to be the most challenging for my life in France:
1. Always Feeling Foreign
This may seem obvious, or even laughable. Of course you're going to feel foreign, you're in a foreign country. At first the feeling of being "different" is quite novel & exciting. People will probably go out of their way to help you (I think our local "cheese guy" could talk to me forever about the grandeur of Comte), and nearly everyone is curious about who you are & why you are in their country. You may surely love the attention, but being special also means feeling a bit different everyday. It's part of the unique living-abroad experience and many expats find ways to benefit from their uniqueness, but it does take some time to make the adjustment.
2. Expressing Yourself in Another Language
Much like the forever "foreign feeling", being truly able to express yourself in another language is quite difficult. I reached a good level in Italy, & felt comfortable conversing, shopping, and even hosting a few parties; but this was after living in the country for three years. You eventually get to the point where speaking another language becomes second nature, but in the beginning showing your personality and having French speakers "get" the real you is very tough. I find that having complex conversations (French politics at a dinner party anyone?), expressing opinions, and showing humor (I promise I really am funny in English) to be the most challenging language tasks when speaking French.
3. Finding a (Good) Job
There are a lot of factors that go into job-hunting success; ie. level of language fluency, professional background, & sheer willingness to pound the pavement until an opportunity comes your way. Of course there are jobs to be had in France, and surely you can find more opportunities in bigger cities like Paris, but it's a very important consideration when deciding where you will move in France. I love the South of France, but jobs here are fewer (even for the French) and so expat opportunities are limited. In short, many foreigners make their own opportunities in teaching, tourism, translation, importing/exporting, or offering services to other expats (to name a few). It's not impossible, but it does take a lot of work and you have to be willing to be creative when carving out your professional niche.
Everyone will face their own particular issues when living abroad, and there are many strategies for coping with the stress of transition & culture shock. In the end, I believe the positives outweigh the negatives, as I hope to illustrate with next week's question, "What's the best thing about living in France?". And yes, cheese will surely be near the top of the list.

What's the Best Thing About Living in France?
Last week, I discussed some of the difficulties of living in France, and now I'd like to look at some of the best things about calling this country home. While I was going through photos for this post, I thought about how challenging living abroad is & how it's easy to get bogged down in the day-to-day details of making a life for yourself in a foreign land, while forgetting what's wonderful in your new home.
Again, these are some of my thoughts from living in the South of France, which I find warm (the weather & the people), quirky (more the people), & above all, oh-so-delicious. Here is what I enjoy best about living in France:
1. The French
Before moving here, I guess I was carrying around a bit of my own generalized anti-French sentiment, some of which I discussed in French Stereotypes, because I had bought into the idea that the French were arrogant, at best, and downright (cough) scoundrels, at worst. Now that I have spent some time with these nasty Frenchies (& cohabit with one), I have found that quite the opposite is true. Although I can't claim to be friends with everyone in our town, the majority of French that I have come into contact with are among the kindest, funniest, and most generous people I have ever met. This coming after living for three years in Italy with it's fair share of warm & hospitable people. I'm not sure where these stereotypes about the French have their roots (perhaps a few snooty waiters in Paris made the trek back to the States & spread like wildfire), but right at the top of my favorite things about France is the people themselves.
2. The Food
I'd be a little wary of any best of France post that failed to mention the food. As with Italy, when you think about the country, you can't help but envision all of the culinary delights that await you on a trip or extended stay. Although I certainly miss the heaping plates pasta carbonara, I am quite in love with French food- the salty & the sweet. Sometimes standing in the cheese aisle at a French supermarket is enough to remind me why I love living here, and learning the ins & outs of French cooking can be a lifetime pursuit (which many happily sign-up for). I'm just waiting for the release of American Women Don't Get Fat because I could use a bit of help getting my pastry-sampling under control.
3. The Aesthetics
If you like pretty things, chances are you'll love French style. Along with a French food obsession, I also have a keen admiration for how things look & a special fondness for attention to detail. In French design, you get it all; your shabby and your chic. Shabby in the faded interiors & softness of white & blue cotton arranged just so that daily living feels not only exceedingly comfortable, but dreamy. Chic in the elaborately-layered chocolate pastries, cherry-oak antiques, and couture fashions. I may not be able to afford many of the goodies that are quintessentially French, but the care & attention the French give to creating beautiful environments makes this a very pleasant place to live.
4. The Attitude to Time
This is the classic live to work vs. work to live argument and, as you can imagine, the majority of the French fall into the later category. I'm in the South, so attitudes are even more relaxed here.
Certainly we can point out a few folks who do live for their job, but the focus is much more on working in order to enjoy your free time. Oh, and there's that little thing called the 35-hour work week. Not everyone adheres to it, and there is a decent argument about what it means for the economy, but it does speak to a pervasive sentiment in the culture that work comes second, or third, in your list of priorities. Call it European values in general, or just an excuse to skip out early to hit the cafés, but I like a slower approach to life- even if all the best markets are closed on Sundays.

Personal trainers sweat as Washington, D.C., readies new rules
By Ian Simpson
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A battle is brewing in Washington as the capital city prepares to regulate personal fitness trainers in a move that could ripple through the country's booming $24 billion gym industry and its fight against flab.
The District of Columbia, whose residents are generally fitter than the rest of the country, is set to adopt the United States' first regulations on trainers, following a law passed by the city council last year. It named an obscure city regulatory panel, the Board of Physical Therapy, to develop rules for trainers who help guide exercise aficionados through their stretching, weightlifting and crunches.
The board is set to vote on the new standards on Sept. 22. After a 30-day period for public comment followed by possible revisions, the rules would take effect.
Backers of regulation say consumers need protection against unqualified trainers and problems that can range from injury to sexual misconduct. Opponents reject the move as government meddling in an innovative business.
The effort "is first in the nation and it's going to set precedent for the industry," said Phillip Godfrey, a medical exercise specialist who has long tracked the District law on trainers.
Opponents also worry that Board of Physical Therapy rules will drive up costs for clients and eat into health club profits.
"Personal training is the biggest profit center in health clubs - hire a kid at $12 an hour and charge $40," said Sal Arria, the president of the National Board of Fitness Examiners, a non-profit which offers its own certification standards for trainers.
Washington would seem to be a perfect place to test fitness rules. Its streets are alive with joggers and people toting rolled-up workout mats and it was rated the fittest U.S. city in May by the American College of Sports Medicine and the Anthem Foundation. Continued...

text: A man from Howland accused of robbing a store in Enfield is being held without bail until his next hearing. Brett Doane, 19, is charged with armed robbery and violating bail conditions. He reportedly admitted to robbing the Bridge Street Market on Sunday night. A cashier says $200 was taken. At the time, Doane was out on bail for six other burglaries, that's why he's being held without bail until another hearing for his most recent charges.

We have been shooting 360 spherical panoramas for about 4 years now. Until today I have done them with a 700 class electric RC helicopter, a DSLR with 10.5mm fisheye lens and a custom designed camera mount ( our VR360 mount). The DSLR would pan and shoot a series of 6 images for a full 360.
The method mentioned above weighed about 13lb all up ready to fly. A bit heavy for certain missions where safety is of major concern. A 13lb rc helicopter can do tremendous damage to persons and property upon impact.
Also the DLSR method took about 3-4 seconds to capture. An rc helicopter can move quite a but in 4 seconds, even at the hands of a very good pilot. A movement of even 3 feet could create some bad parallax errors when it came time to stitch the images.
The need for a lightweight aerial panorama system which could capture all the images in less than one second was obvious but I put the idea off until a few weeks ago.
I had a few GoPro HD cameras laying around and had been impressed with their still photo quality considering the small size of the camera. I wondered if it woudl be possible to mount multiple GoPro cameras in a radial array to capture all the images simultaneously.
I decided on 5 cameras in an upside down pentagon pyramid array. This would provide the proper overlap between images. I modified the cameras to be triggered within about 1 second of each other and wired power from the copter to each one to eliminate the need for a battery in each camera. I created a power/trigger PCB distribution board with a voltage regulator to bring the copter 16v down to 5v. five photorelays optically isolate the camera trigger signals. Works great.
Having flown several test flights I can say it certainly works and works WELL!
Some samples below: (click & drag your mouse once opened to "look around")

We've also been shooting video with all five cameras and been successful in capturing full 360 video. Will post samples of that when we are allowed by the video software stitching developer.

Next-Generation Oracle Mobile ApplicationsMay 22, 2012 - 9:06pm — bex
In addition to my FatWire tutorial talk, I gave one on ADF Mobile. Or, more accurately, I talked about how cool it is that Oracle is going to be bundling PhoneGap with their ADF Mobile toolkits!
I was never really a fan of mobile applications: I prefer the mobile web experience. Every mobile device supports HTML5, which means that you can do just about everything a mobile app can do, other than high-performance graphics. In fact, according to an Adobe study users prefer mobile web to mobile apps for just about everything.
It covers a lot of turf, but there are four key takeaways:
- You will need to learn HTML5 eventually, no matter what
- Your mobile strategy should default to the mobile web: mobile apps are rarely needed, and add unnecessary complexity
- In cases where you do need mobile functionality (camera, bar code scanner), it makes sense to make a hybrid app with PhoneGap/Cordova/ADF, rather than a native app. This means 99% of the functionality is in HTML5, and 1% is in native code called from JavaScript
- And please make sure your mobile strategy is a natural extension of your business model... or you'll be out a lot of money!
Hope this helps!

Carol Gilligan is an accomplished author and a groundbreaking psychologist. She published her first book, In A Different Voice about the male bias in her chosen field of psychology in 1982 and has never stopped fighting for women's rights. She explains why she decided to write, what she considers to be the trouble years for boys and her research on when girls' psychological well-being plummets.
With her hands in multiple projects, including being the Global Editor of The Creators Project, Julia Kaganskiy was named one of Fast Company's Most Influential Women in Technology in 2011. Now, as a MAKER, she explains her experience with gender roles, strong women and being a perfectionist early in life.

Ghosn's Renault: Bowed, but Not Beaten
Auto industry superstar Carlos Ghosn took the stage at the Paris headquarters of Renault Feb. 8 with none of the rousing, world-beating promise in his voice that he had just a year ago. Ghosn—who is CEO at both Renault and Nissan and has been hailed as a miracle manager for saving Nissan—vowed a year ago that Renault would increase sales by 800,000 cars and earn a robust 6% operating margin by 2009.
But so far he has offered little concrete evidence of acceleration. Last year, in fact, net profit was down 15% on flat revenues. "It was a transition year," said a sober Ghosn, insisting Renault's operating margin will rebound to 3% in 2007, after falling to 2% last year, and hit 6% on time in 2009.
Reintroducing the Laguna
Renault's future growth is riding on some 26 new cars—24 of which are still in the pipeline. Only a few arrive this year: the new Twingo city car, a Laguna sedan, a Samsung crossover, and the low-cost Logan station wagon. The majority of new models will start hitting the market in 2008, at the rate of one a month—and half of the 26 are totally new cars. "It's too early to judge Ghosn by his 2009 targets," says Adam Jonas, analyst at Morgan Stanley (MS) in London.
Ghosn's ability to work magic at Renault will get its first real test in September, when he unveils the new Laguna sedan. The current Laguna is unprofitable and its replacement is the first effort by the ambitious 52-year-old manager to push Renault's larger cars upmarket, with sticker prices starting at $32,000. Ghosn's challenge is to bring costs down, improve quality, and give the car improved cachet in a European sedan market dominated by the German premium brands. "It will take until 2008 to see whether the work I've done is healthy for the group," says Ghosn.
Renault's car sales fell by 4% in 2006, as aging models failed to compete with hot new cars from rivals. But behind the scenes, Ghosn was also slashing unprofitable rental fleet sales to help restore higher resale values and bolster Renault's brand image. Ghosn insisted a quality leap in the Clio III, introduced last year, is a portent of things to come. Breakdowns in the first 12 months declined 40% and warranty costs were down 30% compared with the previous Clio. The quality gains have helped boost the resale value of the new Clio by 6%, Ghosn said.
Looking for a Legacy
Boosting quality is vital to the success of the new Laguna, which failed to stand out in a crowded and upmarket field of sedans. The Laguna competes with the Ford (F) Mondeo, the BMW 3 Series, and the Mercedes C Class. Ghosn is determined to place the Laguna among the top three sedans in service and product quality. "If Ghosn can make Renault compete with cars selling for $32,000, that would be heroic," says Morgan Stanley's Jonas.
The second feat is expanding Renault's global footprint. Five new versions of the low-cost Logan, launched in 2004, are in the works and the recently launched van already has a five-month wait. To meet the challenge of competitors like Toyota (TM) who have vowed to undercut the Logan's $7,000 sticker price, Ghosn says the next-generation model will cost even less. "If he succeeds in growing Logan's sales to 1 million and lowers Renault's dependence on the European market," Jonas adds, "that will be his legacy at Renault."

Mono laser multifunction printers start at a relatively low cost, but faster models, like their single-function counterparts, rise rapidly in price. Epson's AcuLaser MX20DN is specced at 28ppm, which may account for its asking price of around £400.
With a rakish taper from its relatively small base to its flatbed scanner, which includes a healthy, 50-sheet Automatic Document Feeder (ADF), the printer manages to hide its substantial dimensions well.
In front of the chunky ADF is a deep control panel with a widescreen, backlit LCD, complete with four soft function keys. The display is particularly well designed, offering tabs for different settings and using the function keys intelligently to control key options.
Three mode keys for Copy, Scan and Print sit to the left of the display, while to the right is a ring of menu navigation buttons and a numeric keypad, which can be used for PINs in secure printing. There's a version of this machine with fax, though the DN version doesn't include it. Finally, at the extreme right are buttons to start and stop jobs and an illuminated one that switches the whole machine into a power saving mode.
Below the control panel is the gap on top of the printer section, where completed documents come to rest. To the right of this is a socket where you can plug in a USB drive for both direct print and scan to USB.
The main tray can take up to 250 sheets of paper and a pull-down panel above this has a telescopic paper support, which offers an extra 50-sheet multipurpose tray. If this isn't enough, you can add one or two optional trays, each of which take an extra 250 sheets.
At the back are sockets for USB and 10/100 Ethernet, though there's no wireless support on the AcuLaser MX20DN. Pulling down the front panel raises a small cover on the top of the printer section and the two together reveal the hopper for the toner cartridge.
This machine uses a Kyocera Mita engine, which means that the photoconductor drum is a lifetime part and all you're adding is toner, in one of two capacities. Software comprises a status application, drivers for both Windows and OS X and Epson Scan, to handle scanning page images to computer.

Jordan Kovacs
Question: Obviously growing up in the Toledo area, everybody kind of has a side, the Michigan side and Ohio State side. What was it like for you growing up in Northwest Ohio with everybody having a side like that?
Jordan Kovacs: "Obviously, my blood always ran blue. My dad walked on here. I've been a lot of Michigan and Ohio State games and it is an exciting rivalry and it is surreal to finally be a part of it."
Question: Do you recount the last time Michigan beat Ohio State in 2003 what you were doing?
Jordan Kovacs: "Yeah I was here at the game. I was 13 years old and obviously that was the 100th game. I was sitting in section in 27 with my parents and my brother. It was a big win for us."
Question: Is that where your family still sits?
Jordan Kovacs: "Not any more. Now they have my tickets. They do get a couple more. They sit up by the scoreboard but not in the same section."
Question: Any of your friends back home that may have been Ohio State fans converted?
Jordan Kovacs: "I've converted a couple of people, a couple of my good buddies, but I still got some good friends that are diehard Buckeye fans and you know how those guys are. It is tough to turn them Blue. I do have some friends that go to Ohio State. Like I said, we're exciting about going down there and playing and just being able to see my friends and play in front of a lot of my close buddies."
Question: Ever been to the Horseshoe?
Jordan Kovacs: "Yeah I've been to several games in Columbus. I went to the 2002 game obviously when Ohio State went to the National Championship. I went to several Michigan-Ohio State games straight down there. I have not been there since. I did not go to the 2006 one versus two matchup, but that was the first one I missed in a while."
Question: Last year when we talked, you just so excited to be a part of this program, now you come in and are starting on defense. Can you talk about your transition from last year to this year?
Jordan Kovacs: "I guess it came kind of fast. I was kind of thrown in the mix last year at the Notre Dame game and gradually I have just become more comfortable with this defense and my responsibilities on it. Here I am just one of the more veteran guys on the defense I guess you could say. It has gone quick. We're just looking forward to Saturday."
Question: What makes Terrelle Pryor tough to slow down or stop?
Jordan Kovacs: "He is very versatile. He is big guy, 6'6", about 240 and he can run and throw. I think that is why that offense is tough to stop. It is a dynamic offense. They can be under center one snap, pound you, run the power at you and then the next snap they can be in the shotgun and run the zone read with the quarterback and I think this offense is going to bring a great challenge to us. They've got great receivers too. We're looking forward to the challenge."
Question: What is the key for the defense, forcing turnovers or forcing mistakes?
Jordan Kovacs: "I think it is the same as any other game. Any time that you can make an offense one dimensional, you've got a chance to play some good defense. If we can stop them on first and second down and put them in third and long, obviously we can create turnovers that way. That's much easier said then that and we've struggled with that so far."
Question: On defensive progress…
Jordan Kovacs: "Any time your inexperienced in whatever area. Obviously, you are going to have some growing pains. We've had some young guys come in and step up and they've played really well so far and we're excited about the development that they've had."
Question: Did you get to play against Dane (Sanzenbacher) when he was at (Toledo) Central?
Jordan Kovacs: "Yeah I did. I played against him two years and he beat us both years. My junior year, we were up 17-3 on them and they came back and beat us and they went on to win the state championship. I'm still bitter about it. I'm still looking for my first win against him."
Question: Do you know Dane a little bit? Have you talked at all?
Jordan Kovacs: "I don't really have personal relationship with Dane. Obviously, we ran track against them a few times. I can tell you that he is a pretty good 400 runner and I can always tell you that he is a pretty good receiver and he makes big catches for the Buckeyes. It is going to be an exciting matchup."
Question: Coach Rodriguez called Dane one of the best wide receivers in the country.
Jordan Kovacs: "Definitely. He is not a big name guy, but he makes big catches for them. Last week, he had a couple at the end of the game. He's going to be tough to stop. I don't think he does anything great, but he does a lot of things very well. He is not super fast or super elusive, but he finds holes in the defense and comes up with big catches. He is going to bring trouble to this defense so we're just going to get into the film room and see what we can do to stop that."
Question: You obviously know and understand the rivalry very well; how badly does Michigan need a win?
Jordan Kovacs: "It is a big rivalry and obviously we are not happy about the streak right now, but we're just looking forward to the game Saturday. It will be a big win for us if we can pull it off and we're going to have to play very well. We're going to have to play a flawless game, we know that and that's what we're looking forward to doing in Columbus on Saturday."
Question: Because of the defensive struggles against the top half teams of the Big Ten, Iowa, Michigan State, Wisconsin, are you guys still confident? Do you feel like you can stop a team like Ohio State?
Jordan Kovacs: "Yeah. We've gone into every game confident. Like I said, if we can make them a one dimension team whether it be throwing the ball, passing the ball, I think we have a chance to beat anybody and I think the guys are looking forward to getting in the film room and look into their offense with a little more detail and just getting at it in practice. We're confident and we're excited about this challenge."
Kevin Koger
Question: How old where you when the last time Michigan beat Ohio State in 2003 and do you remember that game?
Kevin Koger: "Naw, I don't really remember the game. In 2003, I was 13 or 14 years old, in high school. I really don't remember the game, but I remember the more memorable ones, even though every one should be memorable."
Question: Take me back to the recruiting process and how close were you to going to Ohio State?
Kevin Koger: "Me and Tree (Roy Roundtree) talk about it all the time. He whole-heartedly thought I was going. I definitely gave them a serious look but it just didn't work out. It felt right up here, a perfect fit for me and I'm loving it up here."
Question: Your friends back home more Michigan or Ohio State fans?
Kevin Koger: "It's really split. They really don't discuss it with me because they're kind of biased now since I play up here. It is really a split being from Toledo. It is closer to either school, so it is really split between my friends."
Question: Can you talk about your season and are you happy with your play?
Kevin Koger: "I could always do better. I'm never perfect, nobody is perfect. To be satisfied, definitely not, there is always room for improvement."
Question: I asked Jordan Kovacs the same question, have any of your Ohio State fans jumped over to the Michigan side?
Kevin Koger: "I don't think any have jumped over. I always hear all the time that I'm an Ohio State fan, but I'm also a Kevin Koger fan too, so I get that all the time. So I don't think they've jumped over, but they do support me."
Question: What do you guys have to do to go down to Columbus and win?
Kevin Koger: "We got to take care of the ball. The last couple of games, two games in a row we've had five turnovers and we still managed to win. We can't do that at Ohio State and win. They're a great team and have a great defense. We cannot afford those turnovers."
Question: You're four losses, you guys have started slowly, any reason why you guys start slow?
Kevin Koger: "Just poor execution. That's all it really amounts too. We're not executing and obviously we're not taking care of the ball. I think that is the main thing we have to focus on is ball security – bell security definitely."
Question: You talk about ball security and turnovers did something happen because for a while there you didn't turn it over?
Kevin Koger: "I think we just have to play attention to detail. I think that is what it comes down to. We have to focus more on it at practice and that is on us. It is not the coaches or anything that the coaches can do. It is definitely on us and we just have to be accountable and do what we can do."
Question: Talk to any of the guys from (Toledo) Whitmer after their win Saturday?
Kevin Koger: "I texted Coach Palka this morning, but I haven't talked to any of the guys. Kenny Hayes, I'm close to him. I guess I'll have to talk to him and see it feels because I've never been there so see how it goes for them."
Question: On the excitement of playing in the Michigan – Ohio State game…
Kevin Koger: "It's crazy because you grow up idolizing this game and always want to play in it and now that we have a whole bunch of guys playing in it, it is definitely going to be an experience for everybody."
Question: How important would it be for this team to be the team that stopped the losing streak to Ohio State?
Kevin Koger: "It would definitely mean a lot to us. Every game means a lot, but this one means a little bit more. To be remembered for stopping the streak, it definitely holds something dear in my heart."
Question: Do you feel like the rivalry has kind of lost some of its luster since Michigan hasn't won in a while?
Kevin Koger: "Definitely not. Definitely not, it means the same to me as it has every year. I feel like it has been the same game as it has been in the past 100 years. I feel like it still holds the same significance."
Question: Did Ohio State want you as a tight end or did they want you on defense?
Kevin Koger: "They said both. I really don't know. First, they said defensive end and then they said tight end. Probably would have helped me when I got down there."
Question: What was the determining factor for coming up here?
Kevin Koger: "Just the people. First of it is close to home. It is 45 minutes away from my house so I can go home whenever I want to, but it is far away enough that my parents cannot pop up. Just the people, I came up here and it felt right. My dad always has been a Michigan fan his entire life and I know he wanted me to come here too that was big on me too. My mom didn't really care one way or the other."
Question: Was Michigan always #1 on your list or was Ohio State at any point?
Kevin Koger: "I wouldn't say one was higher up than the other. They were both even. Just talking to my parents, talking to the people that really matter to me, I just came to the conclusion that Michigan was right for me."
Question: Mike Martin said he hated Ohio State, do you hate Ohio State?
Kevin Koger: "Hate, that is such a strong word. It is such a strong word. I would probably say that I respect, but I definitely don't like them at all, but hate is such a strong word. I wouldn't use that."
Question: Are you embarrassed by the streak that Ohio State is on?
Kevin Koger: "It is definitely not something to be proud about. They have definitely dominated us the past couple of years. It is on us to stop it. They're a great team and we know what we're up against. We have to prepare extra hard this week to take them down Saturday."

2 Recommendations
curlybelle's recommendation
Just in case you MUST straighten those curls... you can't go wrong with CHI! First you get the professional CHI Ceramic 1â Hair Straightener, in, you guessed it â PINK! Next you get CHI Silk Infusionâ¢, Silk Reconstructing Complex, enriched with pure natural silk, wheat and soy proteins. Just a small amount on wet hair is all you need to style your hair into silky serenity. Top it off with CHI 44 Iron Guard, a thermal protecting spray that uses the power of ceramic to provide superior heat protection from the inside out. This value set is like hitting the frizz free, silky smooth jackpot!
My Collections:
This is one of the best hair straightening irons on the market because it gets extra hot. I love my pink CHI.

"I'm a grassroots kid": Rafael Espinal, Vito Lopez, and the special election in Brooklyn's 54th Assembly District
The Espinal for Assembly campaign office is tucked in the wedge of Bushwick between the J/M/Z and L trains, its windows covered in campaign fliers, on a block with a mix of three family homes and newer buildings giving off a condo vibe. It's 5:30 in the afternoon. A gaggle of just under a dozen volunteers are picking up clipboards and literature, a swatch of ethnicity that matches the evolving demographics of the district: mostly Latino, but a number of African-Americans and a few whites; all young.
They head out to make contact with potential voters ahead of the special election scheduled for September 13. Across the street Rafael Espinal can be seen, carrying black plastic bodega bags. The former aide to City Councilman Erik Martin Dilan and pick of Democratic Party boss Vito Lopez for the open seat in Northeast Brooklyn's 54th Assembly District, Espinal went out to get ice and water for office workers and volunteers.
"He's always working," notes Michael Olmeda, his campaign manager. After Espinal drops off the water, everyone gets into separate cars and head out to go door-to-door fliering in near-by public houses. The voters in these houses have traditionally been supporters of the former assemblyman, Darryl Towns. Towns's sister Deidra is one of two other candidates Espinal faces in the fight to be the first new representative from the district in 18 years.
"We're talking about dealing with three separate factions who think they have a mastery of the district," Olmeda says as he takes a right on Bushwick Avenue. Olmeda should know: He worked with Darryl Towns for 15 years before splitting with the family over the unwillingness of Congressman, and dad to Darryl, Ed Towns to step aside so his son could get a shot at his seat.
Olmeda doesn't think Deidra Towns resonates with people in the district the way her brother, who left to be Governor Andrew Cuomo's head of housing, did. He sees her campaign as a weak attempt by Towns Senior to retain his power base. "This is about Ed Towns," Olmeda says. "And about a dynasty from a dinosaur."
Oldmeda approaches the elevated J/M/Z tracks, navigates a tight left turn around the support beams and talks about the other candidate in the race, Jesus Gonzalez, who is running with the Working Families Party's support. Olmeda casts Gonzalez, a community organizer with the local social justice group Make the Road by Walking, as a young and enthusiastic political agitator who hasn't grasped the political battle he's being pushed to fight.
"I think it's more about the people around the kid than the kid himself," Olmeda says about Gonzalez's campaign. From Olmeda's perspective, Gonzalez is the latest candidate progressives and activists have run in the neighborhood in an effort to defeat the local party boss and head of the Brooklyn Democratic Party, Assemblyman Vito Lopez. Often described pejoratively as the machine, Lopez has drawn the ire of reformist, progressive Democratic groups such as Central Brooklyn Independent Democrats and the New Kings Democrats, as well as the Working Families Party. He is characterized by those opposed to him as crooked, antidemocratic, and guilty of political cronyism at its worst.
All that's fine with Olmeda, who says he's a dues-paying member of New Kings Democrats. But, he says, these predominately outside-the-district reformers are more interested in battling Lopez--"WFP wants to break into Northeast Brooklyn," he says--than anything else. "Me, personally, I don't think that's a bad thing." Isn't his candidate Vito's chosen guy? "Yeah," he says. "But I don't work for Vito."
Espinal, Olmeda explains as he pulls over in front of the Sumner Houses, is politically more mature than Gonzalez. And as the Democratic Party pick for the seat, he already has a major advantage over his two opponents. But that's not the main reason he's supporting Espinal. Given the demographic makeup of the district, he wants to see someone in the Assembly that more closely resembles it.
"For the last 18 years there should have been a Latino representing this community," he says. "And now I definitely want to be at the forefront of that."
The shift in demographics is one of the reasons Espinal is at the Sumner Houses. These houses had historically been majority African-American--and a solid base of support for the Towns family. That has changed to a heavily Latino population.
Olmeda is calling his contact in the buildings to meet up. Espinal, wearing a purple patterned button down and slacks, hands out literature to passersby, jumping from English to Spanish as the situation warrants. He greets Charles, who has lived in the Sumner Houses his whole life.
"These houses suck. It takes three years to get a door fixed," Charles says. Olmeda tells Espinal's cousin, Hugo, takes down his name and contact info, promising to look into it when the candidate becomes the elected official. It's a seamless move from campaign to constituent service for someone as practiced as Olmeda, and something Olmeda seems to be reminding Espinal to do often, in tone more than actual direction: make the leap, move beyond the campaign, be the person in office now.
The contact, Barbara Medina, catches up to the candidate's entourage on the street. She's wearing pumps and a no-nonsense business outfit--grey skirt, grey jacket, greyer blouse--and carrying five bags full of fat manila envelopes with Espinal's literature taped to the top. Each envelope is filled with school supplies. Espinal's going to give them out to the households with children, to show his concern for the families and education.
Medina is a powerhouse political operative. She's worked for a number of local elected officials, was a major player in the push for "Leandra's Law," is from the neighborhood, and knows every single person she sees. She knows Espinal from their days working for councilmembers in City Hall. His commitment, hard work, and ability to handle the stresses of the political world convinced her to come on board.
"We're going top to bottom," Olmeda says as the group enters the first house. Well, almost the top: Medina's mother lives on the top floor. The door knocking begins on the sixth floor. Many of the doors are covered in Catholic iconographic stickers--the Virgin Mother, etc.--in Spanish. Espinal wraps the door knockers, flipping between languages depending on the person who answers the door. It's the same spiel each time:
"Hi, I'm Rafael Espinal, the Democratic candidate for State Assembly. I grew up in the neighborhood, was educated in the neighborhood--I was actually born in Woodhull. This is the first time in 18 years we've had a choice, and I want to make sure our community is represented in Albany. I hope I can count on your support on September 13."
He hands them his literature. If they answered the door, they take it. Sometimes Medina has to knock and call out to the person behind the door, "It's me, Barbara from upstairs, your 7A neighbor." If she knows they have kids--or someone in their family has kids--she tells Espinal to give them the school supplies. She knows each household's story. This woman, Amanda, has a one-year-old and a seven-year-old. That woman works with the commissioner at the Administration for Children's Services. Someone else works late, won't be home until after 8 pm. Another person's entire family are crossing guards at local schools. That woman is a voter, she's just...
Once Espinal's knocked on every door in the building and at least made sure there's a piece of literature under the door, it's on to the next building, the next set of voters. Outside he talks about some of the issues in the race: rising rent concerns, youth violence, and poorly maintained streets, and subways. He also vents his frustration over being attacked because of the support he's received from the party establishment and, in particular, Lopez.
"Even though people say I'm backed by the machine, I'm a grassroots kid," he says. "I've never seen myself that way. I see myself as a young man from the neighborhood, who loves his neighborhood and is trying to do good for his neighborhood.
"I was born in the district like I was telling everyone else--raised here, educated here. I've been working really hard at my job at the city councilman's office, and when the opportunity came up I asked him for his support. It's not something that I was molded to be; it's something I'm doing out of my heart, because I care about the community."
After Espinal, Medina and the others have moved on to the next housing complex, Olmeda says he sees this race as Espinal's to lose. He says he's a great kid who listens to criticism and absorbs what he's told. Olmeda has warned him: not everyone is going to like him, and, right now, he's wearing a target on his back because of the support he received. But that just comes with the territory.
"That's politics in this community," Olmeda says. "It can be very vicious at times."

Water Polo Falls To Princeton In Easterns Opener
CAMBRIDGE, MA - The Iona College men's water polo team dropped its first contest of the CWPA Eastern Championship 14-3 to 19th-ranked Princeton Friday afternoon at Harvard University's Blodgett Pool.
The victory advances the Tigers to a semifinal match-up against the No. 16-ranked Terriers of St. Francis College. Iona will next face Johns Hopkins at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday with a berth in the fifth place game on the line.
Princeton wasted no time in taking the lead for good with three goals in the first period to put the Tigers ahead 3-0 through eight minutes of action. Princeton exacted man-up goals at 6:32 and 4:52 in the second period to push the margin out to 5-0.
Sophomore Jonathan Hernould put the Gaels on the board at the 4:20 mark courtesy of an advantage score before freshman Tyler Mancuso tickled the twine at 1:44 to make it 5-2 at the break.
The goal appeared to ignite Princeton's offense as Wenzlau the Tigers scored twice to begin the second half and put Iona in an 7-2 hole. Princeton struck again via a man-up marker at 3:08 to finish off a 4-0 run to build the lead to 8-2 before senior Cameron Hudson stopped the bleeding with a man-up goal of his own at 1:31 to close the gap to 8-3 before the end of the period.
Needing a dramatic comeback to pull even with the Tigers, all the Gaels received was six consecutive even-strength strikes by Princeton and a defense that limited Iona to three shots on cage in the final period of play.
For Iona, Mancuso, Hernould and Hudson accounted for the their team's three scores as the Gaels were outshot 22-to-12 and allowed the Tigers to convert on three-of-three man-up chances.
In cage, sophomore Stefen Hill took the loss with eight stops.
Princeton Goals: Tim Wenzlau (3); Jeff Cole (2); Billy Tift (2); Thomas Nelson (2); Chris Cottrell; AJ Galainena; Tommy Donahue; Drew Hoffenberg; Kurt Buchbinder
Iona Goals: Tyler Mancuso; Jonathan Hernould; Cameron Hudson
Saves: Princeton - Tyler Amina (9) ; Iona - Stefen Hill (8)
Exclusions: Princeton - 6; Iona - 3
Advantage Opportunities: Princeton - 3-for-3 ; Iona - 2-for-6
Sprints: Princeton - 3-for-4 (1st, 2nd, 3rd) ; Iona - 1-for-4 (3rd)

Binalshibh's disclosures are significant beyond the Moussaoui case because he is also revealing information about Mohammed, a top al-Qaeda leader who is still at large, the Post said.
Binalshibh, a Yemeni, was captured in Pakistan two months ago. He lived with lead hijacker Mohamed Atta in Germany. He tried and failed to obtain a visa to enter the United States several times in what authorities have said may have been a bid to become one of the hijackers in the September 11 plot.
He boasted of his role in supplying money and logistical support to the 19 hijackers in an interview he and Mohammed gave the al-Jazeera television network.

No, our club consists of people from all different majors. While being an engineering major helps, it is not required.
What year do I have to be to join?
There is no minimum year level to join, as long as you are a student at RIT you can join!
How do I join?
Simple, just show up to one of our meetings on Saturday!
What will I do in the club?
We have new members jump in on designing parts for the airplanes. We will give you an assignment for a part to be designed and what it will do. Once you have it designed, we will show you how to actually produce the part on our laser cutter.
If you are not interested in design, you will be able to build an airplane from the designs that we have. There is no prior experience needed because we teach you how to get started!
Also, in the spring we will be going flying and we have a club trainer. The club trainer allows us to teach anyone to fly without the risk of crashing. We use two transmitters, one a master and the other one the student. If at any time the student gets into a situation, the master can take over and correct the airplane. We also have a computer simulator in the lab to learn the basics.
Where can I get more information?
If you are interested in finding out more information that you cannot find on the website, please do not hesitate to stop by the lab or contact a current member. If it is a question on information regarding joining the club or any general information, please feel free to contact David Pawlush, head of public relations.

"God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers" -Jewish Proverb
This is a very popular saying but instead of mother I would like to replace the word with women. When a girl child is born into this earth she has to play either the role of a mother, daughter, sister or a wife. No matter what the role, she undergoes lot of problems either physically or mentally. When she's a daughter, she has to face all the restrictions that are endorsed upon her. When she's a sister, she has to be all goodie and set an example to others if she is elder and not be fussy if she is younger. When she's a wife, she has to face the problems of her in-laws and also in turn expected to be dedicated. When she's a mother, she has to shift from the corporate office to changing nappies. Apparently, when she's old, she has to take care of her children and grand children. When will she be free and unchained from these restrictions set upon her by the society?
In India, women have faced lot of social problems in the past and continue to face even now. Perhaps, going through a sociology text book will be self-explanatory. But let me do justice by stating the problems that women face - female infanticide, child labour, illiteracy, domestic violence, dowry, rape, divorce, sexual harassment, low salary, torture by in-laws, forced abortion, forced marriage, gender discrimination and so on. All these rob from her the right to lead an independent life without hindrance. Not to forget some universal psychological problems like premenstrual syndrome, premenstrual dysphonic disorder and post partum depression and physical like puberty, monthly cycles, pregnancy and menopause also senility at old age. All these cause mental disturbance, stress and fluctuation of moods. Nevertheless, she is amalgamated with problems from womb to tomb. One strong quality of women is that they are emotionally well built and can easily give vent to their feelings. Maybe that is what makes them so strong and endure any obstacle coming their way.
Recently, I watched an Afghani movie about a girl who disguises herself as a boy in order to earn money for the livelihood of her family. The movie portrayed the life of this girl and generally the life of women in that country. I was shattered after watching the movie because the women were treated inhumanly and weren't given work or education and had to stay inside their respective homes. My immediate response to this movie was, "Thank God! I was born in India".
Today, India has widened its horizon regarding women and their issues by trying to uplift them in every field be it science, commerce, economy, politics, sports, education, arts and so on. The very names of these women - Indira Gandhi, Mother Theresa, Sonia Gandhi, P.T.Usha, Latha Mangeshwar, Kalpana Chawla, Sunitha Williams, Asha Bhonsle, Aishwarya Rai, Pratibha Patil, Deepa Mehta, Nanditha Das, show that women have excelled in every field and have been empowered today in every way. Women's oppression and inequality has spurred them to become more vocal and active in campaigning for change. Tormented and subjugated through all times and ages, women have fought their way against exploitation, harassment and have secured themselves a right in the public domain. In spite of exploitation and abuse, both in domestic and work sector, women have managed to achieve milestones in education, have financially become independent and feel empowered today by fighting for their rights.
Moreover, these days the topic Gender equality has been included as a part of Syllabus in schools and colleges. And this tells us that women are not lesser or inferior to men. Instead, they are equal on par with men. What is important is both are human beings. Why should one be considered inferior to other? Both are created equally therefore demands equal rights.
Nevertheless, women's essence lies in her innate ability to care, love and sacrifice for the other. She not only plays the character of a mother, daughter, sister and wife but also a friend, nurturer, guide and partner. She displays wonderful range of emotions from being patient to courageous at times of crises. Out of 365 days, we have dedicated one day to her and would it be too much to ask all men to suspend judgment , acknowledge and appreciate the love and support that she has showered on them in all times? On the occasion of International Women's Day-8 March which is a global day for celebrating the economic, political and social achievements of women's past, present and future, let us all salute them . Jai Ho!
