After the patient approach of Salgaocar helped them to book a place in the finale, it was time to decide their opponents as East Bengal squared off against their trademark bogeys Prayag United. (Former Chirag United)
The early momentum of the red and gold brigade saw the giants exibhit some fluid flavour of football with a fair amount of pace injected in the team helping them to reach the semi finals after ousting several hurdles in their path while Prayag United once again proved the mettle of their character in knockout tournaments as they qualified from the group stage.
The match began with Prayag looking the most dangerous raiding the red and yellow defence at instances as East Bengal were looking to settle down. The early bit of attack from United was rewarded with an opening goal for them as Snehasish Dutta scored a screamer to help his side take the lead.
A brilliant left footed effort was executed nicely by Snehasish as the bravehearts registered an early lead.
The goal acted like a slap to the spirits of East Bengal as they started to get in the groove of the match controlling the possession to a higher extent. The moment of madness came in 36mins as Bello Rasaq commited a rash tackle on Alan Gow with the referee awarding a spotkick to East Bengal. Gow despatched the penalty with perfect accuracy as the scoreline was level with the first half coming to an end.
The second half began with Prayag missing a golden chance in 52mins as Josimar failed to capitalise on a nice cross executed by Snehasish but Sandip reacted well getting hold off the ball to prevent any damage being to the scoreline.
The closing minutes proved to be more treacherous for Prayag after Josimar was sent off for an early shower after getting the second yellow in 77mins for a rough tackle on Soumik.
The ten men disadvantage of Prayag was well exploited by the mighty East Bengal as they took the lead in 82mins courtesy of a well taken goal by Paite. Baljit was the creator and Paite, the executor as East Bengal took a vital lead in a decisive moment.
The final few minutes saw 5 minutes being added as a golden chance was missed in the final minute of the stoppage time. A shot from Paite hit the woodwork as the rebound received the same fate from Baljit with the scoreline remaining the same.
The match ended with East Bengal reaching the final of the 33rd Federation Cup as a mega match is set to unfold on 29th September with the reigning I League champions locking horns with the runners up of last season as football will do the talking.

Easter Bunnies Turn Local Newscast Into a Sex Show [VIDEO]
To celebrate Easter, Knoxville, TN TV station WBIR brought a couple of rabbits to its news set, and it didn't take long for things to go from 'G' to 'NC-17′.
Well as you know, rabbits do have a bit of a reputation.
We're willing to be that people will relentlessly remind the anchor on the right that the gestational period for rabbits is only about one month, not nine, but we get it.

What would be best?
Ok so I'm new to this site and fairly new to 3d shooting. I have been shooting a Scott wrist strap release for a while and am pretty confident with it. I want to elevate my game and have been told a handheld release is the way to go. Problem is, which one? Do I need a backtension or thumb release? Suggestions and comments please!

Comic Cooper footage unearthed
The earliest known TV footage of legendary comic Tommy Cooper on stage has been found in a garden shed - 51 years after it was filmed.
It shows the 27-year old star performing an early routine at a gala screening to celebrate the opening of the Lime Grove Studios in December 1950.
The precious footage is to be displayed later this year at Bradford's National Museum of Photography, Film and Television.
The fez-wearing comic, who died after collapsing on stage in 1984 during a live TV performance, was one of the UK's best-loved entertainers.
As well as being a master of the one-liner, he was also expert at performing bizarre and often deliberately doomed magic tricks.
He would often shoot behind the scenes film to study the lighting sets, but in this case he also captured a young Cooper going through his early routine.
The actual broadcast went out live and so no recording was made, leaving Campbell's footage as the only version in existence.
After leaving the BBC, he stored his old film reels in his garden shed where they lay undiscovered for 50 years until his son, Neil, started to sort through them late last year.
Campbell's son gave the footage to the Alexandra Palace Television Society (APTS), who work to preserve the history of early TV pioneers.
The APTS's archivist Simon Vaughan traced the history of the film, offering it to the National Museum of Photography, Film and Television when he realised its importance.
A spokesman for the museum told BBC News Online: "The APTS were invaluable in doing a lot of the background research, and identifying who the people are in the footage."
Experts at the museum have been working on the film to restore it to its original condition.
'TV history'
Along with other rare pieces of television history, the footage will form part of the display in the museum's new research centre Insight, which opens later this year.
Also found in the garden was footage which showed glimpses of the first TV gardener, Mr M Middleton and the BBC's first Christmas pantomime.
John Trenouth, senior TV curator at the National Museum of Photography, Film & Television, said: "This is TV history I never expected to see.
"These programmes were literally beamed into the ether, never to return, and TV historians could only speculate on their contents.
"This footage changes completely our view of what those early TV broadcasts were actually like. We're absolutely delighted."

People earning less than £10,000 a year should not have to pay Income tax
Currently the personal tax allowance over a tax year is set at £6,475. Many feel that this doesn't go far enough for those on the lowest incomes, and that people earning less than 10,000 pounds a year should be exempt from paying Income tax. The Lib dems have advocated raising the personal tax allowance to £10,000 a year, thus freeing around 4 million of the lowest earners from paying Income ax.
You can also add to the debate by leaving a comment at the end of the page.
Taxing the poorest is unfair and makes no sense
Currently the personal tax allowance stands at £6,475. This should be raised to at least £10,000 as it makes little sense to tax those on the lowest incomes, as the levy generated isn't that much. If the personal tax allowance was raised to 10,000, the £705 saved could go a long way to for those with the least, as living in our society gets more and more expensive. Why should those that make the choice to work, when technically they are considered to be below the poverty line have to pay tax when they are doing all they can in order to survive?
[[http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/alexsingleton/8046867/Its_inefficient_and_unfair_to_make_poor_people_pay_income_tax/]]. It seems absurd to tax those who are in most need of our help. We should be taxing those who can afford to pay it, not those who cannot.
But this will only mean that those who earn just over £10,000 a year will claim that they are the lowest paid in society and therefore should not have to pay income tax either. Drawing arbitrary lines is a hard task. We have to acknowledge that people do have to pay income tax in order to fund all the things that our Government do for us. Therefore, everyone should contribute something to the public pot no matter how small. Income tax is a percentage. So if you earn a little, you only pay a little, if you earn a lot you pay a lot. This is what is fair. The personal tax allowance is a mere act of generosity from the Government, not a right that should be extended.
It will provide an incentive to those on benefits to find paid work
For those on benefits it is often more financially viable to remain on benefits than to find paid work. Surely we must be doing all we can to encourage those on benefits to find work. By increasing the threshold for the personal tax allowance, the stimulus will be there for more people to return to work. More people in work can only help the welfare state in cutting its costs. Especially in the current economic climate where public spending is under such scrutiny.
Instead, surely we should create an attitude towards working for a living which does not revolve around fiscal gain. People should want to work, not just for money, but also for a sense of self and satisfaction. If people lack this motivation, something is wrong. We need to find and solve the route cause, not just give these people more financial reasons to work. Work incentives are most effective through means-tested benefits and tax credits, not through the rates of income tax.[[Stuart Adam, Mike Brewer and Andrew Shephard, The poverty trade-off: work incentives and income redistribution in Britain, Joseph Rowntree Foundation, 3/10/06, http://www.jrf.org.uk/sites/files/jrf/1936.pdf%5D%5D So changing the tax bands would not be as effective as promising extra benefits to those who work, particularly for those things that work get in the way of like after school and holiday childcare.
We should take away the tax allowance and replace this with a £10,000 income rule
Currently, any one who pays tax gets an allowance of around £6,000 a year. This money is untaxed. It means that each month the person pays a little less tax than they should to ensure that they get their £6,000 tax free. If we were the change this whole allowance into £10,000 the Government would be short of just under £4,000 per working person in Britain per year. This is not viable. Therefore, we should scrap this allowance and instead implement this rule whereby if you earn under £10,000 a year you do not have to pay tax. That way, those who can afford to will pay more into the tax system, whilst those earning a meagre wage will be able to keep all that they earn.
This is not a viable option either. What rate do you set tax at for those who earn over £10,000? We would end up in a situation where people would rather stay in a job that pays £9,000 than get promoted to a job that pays £11,000 because the person earning £11,000 would probably end up earning less than £9,000. The reason why the tax allowance system works is because if you earn over £6,000 a year, you only pay tax on the money which exceeds that threshold. The tax system would simply collapse if we had no personal tax allowance. It would cause amass disservice to justice and fairness.
yes.....why nt
today a person earning money is fed up of increased expenses and acc. to me this shud nt be a liability on people to pay tax.......tax is taken fr people's benefit if they r nt paying dont wat a big deal ?????
Everyone should contribute to the state
Everyone in the UK has access to free healthcare and education. Many people take our welfare system for granted yet through our taxes, we all contribute to it. Therefore, as it's free to everyone. If people do not contribute taxes towards it, why should they be open to its benefits?
there are people on small incomes such as private pensions,who do not qualify for any state benifits. they pay tax on small incomes such as £7,500 per anumn, and find it very hard to manage as we are so heavily taxed on everything from council tax to car taxes, vat, income tax. It is very difficult to make ends meet for these people who pay their way on small incomes and dont claim anything from the state. A tax allowance of 10, 000 would be fair on this group of people, many of whom have been hard working and paid into the system all their lives, and may not yet be old enough to access their state pension, which of course they have paid for.
Those who earn less receive more from the Government already
Most benefits are mean tested. We have tax breaks, we have child care allowances, house cost allowances, fuel allowances, EMA. Britain is known as the welfare state because we give so much away in terms of benefits to those who are less well off. Given that they receive the most out of the system, surely it is in their interest to keep paying income tax. They will get the money back, if not two-fold anyway.
Personal tax allowances are given to everyone
Everyone gets a personal tax allowance. It does not only mean that you have to earn above this threshold to start paying tax. It means that every year, everyone can earn over £6,475 un-taxed.[[http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/rates/it.htm]] If we changed this figure to £10,000 we would also be giving a benefit to those who earn substantially more than £10,000. This will mean that there are less taxes being paid into the public purse and therefore less benefits around to help those who really need it. Raising the personal tax allowance to £10,000 is not a publically or politically viable option.
This argument does not explain why those who earn under £10,000 should be taxed, it merely asserts that other people will benefit from the personal tax allowance being raised. But then what we should argue, as above, is that the personal tax allowance should be scrapped and replaced with the idea of no-one paying tax if they earn less than £10,000. That way there is more money in the pot from those who earn more to account for those who earn less. This is the way meritocratic Britain should work.
What do you think?

(CNSNews.com) - UN Secretary General Kofi Annan has urged Japan to continue paying its UN dues despite increasing frustration in the Asian nation that it does not have a permanent seat on the Security Council.
Annan was in Japan last week meeting with Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi and other lawmakers.
In a speech at United Nations University following meetings with members of Parliament, Annan said that the country would be a "worthy member" of the Council and acknowledged Japan's "growing frustration" at being denied a seat.
He also responded to Japanese critics who have urged the nation to withhold its UN dues until it is given a seat, saying, "This would be counterproductive and unworthy of Japan's high standing in the world. . . . I would counsel patience instead."
Japan contributed almost $208 million to the UN this year, an amount that represents 20 percent of its operating budget - second only to the U.S.
The Security Council was set up in 1945 with five permanent members who had veto power - the U.S., Britain, France, the U.S.S.R., and nationalist China - and 10 other member nations elected to two-year terms.
Since that time, Taiwan has been replaced by mainland China, Communism has fallen, and the two European powers have became less dominant on the world scene. And yet the basic structure of the Council has remained intact, a fact that nations in Africa, Asia, and Europe want changed - including removing veto power from permanent members.
Annan told Japanese lawmakers that the Council "represents the realities of 1945 and should be transformed into a more representative, democratic and effective body. . . . Such a reform would have to take into account today's realities, including the role played by Japan in international politics"
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan favors reforming the Security Council, but his spokesperson told CNSNews.com "he has zero control over how it happens."
"It has to be decided by member states," said Jessica Jiji, Annan's spokesperson. "It's incredibly complex. For example, Africa wants increased representation, and Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa will all say that they deserve a seat. So the question is, what kind of formula can be arrived at that will be acceptable to all countries?"
The U.S. government favors giving Japan and Germany permanent seats on the Security Council, and adding three seats to be rotated among nations from Asia, Africa, and Latin and South America.
Debates over nations withholding their dues are complicated by more than $1 billion in dues owed to the UN by the United States, which has become a contentious issue between the White House and Congress in budget debates.

From the city of Antakya, Turkey, near the Syrian border, Puneh Ala'i relayed her plan back to Orange County on Friday.
Ala'i had just ended a phone call with her Laguna Niguel parents. She informed them she planned to cross the border into Syria on Saturday, just as a U.S. military strike in that country was beginning to appear imminent.
"I said, 'Dad, I'm going in tomorrow morning,'" Ala'i, 27, said. "And it was quiet, like he lost his breath. I said, 'I love you, and I'll see you soon."'
"Do you know what's going on?" Ala'i said her father, Rudy, then asked her.
Ala'i does, and she admits she is especially nervous for this trip, her fourth time crossing the border into Syria since April.
On the first trips, she fundraised money in Orange County before buying and delivering food and medical supplies to several northern Syrian towns and refugee camps, including one town about three hours south of the border. She has built several strong connections with a private Syrian aid group called Watan.
Ala'i and her Syrian-American friend, Nesrin Tarablosi, originally from Anaheim, said they were nearly killed by a rocket attack while delivering aid there in April.
Now, Ala'i said she is planning to cross the border and travel to the same town with a Reuters photojournalist. She said she has developed a strong bond with the children there. While on this trip she doesn't have the funds to deliver significant humanitarian aid, she said she plans to bring toys, coloring books, and other items for the kids.
"I want to spend time with the children there, and see what their needs are," she said.
Ala'i said the trip is somewhat last-minute – she had originally flown to Turkey last week to attend the "Rebuilding Syria Together" conference in Gaziantep, and promote her recently-founded nonprofit, For the Unseen.
As for a possible U.S. strike, Ala'i said she is "indifferent."
"I'm not into another war starting because of a war," she said. "But those people are suffering. It's hard."
She said she does know things will likely get tricky if any U.S. action occurs while she is there. "I would be stuck inside, from what I've gathered," she said. She said on Friday that a journalist friend had showed her a transcript of U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry's speech on the situation before telling her, "I don't think you should go in."
But she said she is nevertheless being pulled in by the Syrian friends she has made on her previous trips, friends she has been in constant contact with since.
"I'm a little anxiety-ridden," Ala'i said. "But I'm at peace with what tomorrow can bring. I'm hoping to get in."

The Westminster dog show, ending today at Madison Square Garden in New York, hasn't only been about the dogs lately. Last year, PETA protesters invaded the two-day event.
As a handler trotted a graceful Doberman around the ring, one of the protesters held up a sign reading "Mutts rule." She was led away by security officers, but another protester appeared and mounted the winners podium to hold up a sign that read "Breeders Kill Shelter Dogs Chances." Her message lasted for maybe 10 seconds before she too was led away.
The protests are an indication of how complicated dog politics have become. To start with, these days, mutts do rule, at least relatively. Rescue dogs, which are mostly mutts, have never been more popular, while the American Kennel Club, arbiter and protector of purebred dogs, has seen its membership and registrations drop for a decade or more.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, though inspired by the horror of shelters in 1970s America, is in many ways a latecomer to these issues. PETA's founder and head, Ingrid Newkirk, as the young expatriate bride of a race car driver, volunteered at an animal shelter and was appalled at the conditions in which the animals lived and died. It opened her eyes to animal suffering. Alarmed at the carelessness of her co-workers, she volunteered for extra euthanasias, and eventually founded an organization that's done more than any other to change the way we view the treatment of animals.
It's an amazing legacy but a complicated one. In the past, PETA viewed the keeping of household pets as equivalent to chattel slavery. "If people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects," Newkirk said years ago.
These days, those kinds of sentiments have been deeply submerged, if they still exist at all in PETA. Newkirk herself became much cuddlier, even writing a book called "Let's Have a Dog Party," possibly because she's realized that it's difficult for a broad-based animal-rights organization to survive without the donations of pet owners.
But even with this adjustment, PETA's radicalism can be grating and off-key. In recent years, it has equated the AKC with the KKK - because of both organizations' emphasis on purity - and sent protesters to Westminster in hooded robes. "No dog breeder can be called responsible," PETA's website says. "Only greedy."
PETA's point is that, with homeless dogs languishing in shelters, more dogs shouldn't be purposely brought into the world - a notion that contains a sensible kernel but is precisely the kind of stern moral equation that makes it difficult for most people to buy into PETA's message.
PETA aims to reduce animal suffering by any means necessary; it's utilitarian mathematics. And the most shocking consequence of this aim is that PETA euthanizes a remarkably high percentage of the animals it rescues: more than 90 percent in 2011. One would expect in an animal-rights organization more of a distinction between life and death, even painless death, but PETA has always talked in remarkably positive terms about euthanasia.
Though there are still too many dogs in U.S. shelters, and too many of them end up euthanized, the no-kill movement has actually been a huge success story, reducing euthanasias in shelters by a factor of four while creating a vast, ad hoc national network devoted to saving dogs. In many suburbs there aren't enough rescue dogs, especially puppies, to meet the demand.
Care must be taken that the current system isn't commercialized. (And, given the speed of change in the dog world in the last few decades, the current system probably won't last.) Westminster, with its air of tradition and its aspirations to be the Super Bowl of dogs, seems a perfect place to protest the dog status quo - and of course, there's much to protest. But in many ways the dog status quo has already changed - and Westminster is a kind of relic.
John Homans, executive editor of New York magazine, is the author of "What's a Dog For: The Surprising History, Science, Philosophy and Politics of Man's Best Friend."

tell that to the people in the unemployment line most ppl who live in the u.s dont set at a desk they actually work whether its a trucker a logger a teacher a policeman a garbageman they arent living in a post industrial age and if u think that your living in a apple fanboy world
I love to imagine Trump as vice President or Secretary of State, for the lulz.
It's not really ironic that everyone would say that America needs more manufacturing jobs. It would be ironic if they agreed on how to achieve this. Perhaps political analysis isn't exactly this site's forte?
I dont believe people would buy the idevices. If i had to pay $500-600 for my iPhone 4 16gb, i dont think i would have bought it. I know i would not have bought my iPad 16gb $800-900. Here is an article discussing the prices: How Much Would the iPad 2 Cost If It Were Made in the U.S.? About $1,140 - Derek Thompson - Business - The Atlantic. So now people dont buy their stuff and then unemployment goes back up because of their lack of sales. People (like "The Donald") need to sometimes think before speaking on certain issues that they are unfamiliar with.
I thought this article was gonna be about Ivanka Trump coming to apple not this Jack Azz.... LoL
I think trump should stick to being a ****** and firing people on his show, that talking about how he wants to help the U.S, most of the american companies have left the U.S to manufacture somewhere else so they can compete with the asian companies such as Samsung and Sony. Apple aren't waiting for trump to give his wiseass opinions about how they run things.
"the U.S. is in a post-industrial era, where knowledge and ideas are more valuable than the ability to assemble."
What? Yes, of course knowledge and ideas are more valuable than "the ability to assemble". This has been true since the beginning of mankind. But for the masses, for billions of people on earth, having "the ability to assemble" allows them to make a living, to survive. Unfortunately, there is a limited number of people that can benefit financially from knowledge and ideas.
If anything, your whole post - IF it's true - would be a reason to send the white collar jobs elsewhere to those who possess better grammar and keep the factory jobs here in America.
On another note as I am typing this, the local news here in Philadelphia brings up a story about people signing a petition to get apple to help employees abroad. Here is the link.
Human Rights Petition: Apple: Protect Workers Making iPhones in Chinese Factories | Change.org
Over 150,000 signatures already. So somebody cares about what Apple is doing(or not doing).
Donald should donate some money for a good cause first before telling others what "good things they should do." His tax statement says he donated $0. Considering he has his own foundation, i'd keep my mouth shut if I was him .... Thats just sad.
The government will have to create serious incentives to make a plant here that would at least be close to what they are getting from building plants elsewhere. They aren't going to raise the prices on their products just to move their products here which will reduce sales. Yeah maybe some people will buy it because it's made in USA but a much larger majority won't care and simply look at the new price tag and walk away.
Hhhhhhh wood's language

Protesters shoot at driver after car hits man at Ferguson vigil
Aug 10 (Reuters) - Several protesters pulled out guns and fired at a car speeding away after hitting a man at a vigil marking the second anniversary of the killing of Michael Brown, an unarmed black man shot by police in Ferguson, Missouri, local media said.
Other protesters tried to block the car to stop the driver from getting away, witnesses told the St. Louis Post Dispatch.
SEE ALSO: Trump's gun gaffe prompts Secret Service to respond
Ferguson police spokesman Jeff Small told the newspaper that the driver did not appear to have intentionally hit the protester and was cooperating with the authorities.
RELATED: Ferguson ethnicity over time
Police had found bullet holes in the car but no arrests have been made and no one was shot, he said.
The unidentified protester had walked into a busy street during the evening demonstration near where Brown was shot by a Ferguson police officer on Aug. 9, 2014, the St. Louis Post Dispatch said.

Brown's death sparked months of sometimes violent protests both in Ferguson and across America following subsequent police killings of unarmed black men in several other cities.
It also spurred the "Black Lives Matter" movement that has cast a spotlight on long-troubled relations between police and minority residents in many U.S. cities.
Ferguson police were not immediately available to comment.

Michael Roberts - Iowa City, Iowa
Earlier in his career, Michael Roberts created highly realistic portrait cut-outs on wood. His subjects included well-known political or historical figures as well as ordinary citizens. The cut-outs appeared three dimensional instead of flat, with facial features augmented by intense lighting at close range.
More recently, Roberts has concentrated on smaller, conventionally framed paintings that are allegorical. Layering acrylics on wood in an old-master style of painting, the surfaces are altered through scratching and incising. He is also working on series of drawings incorporating handcut stamps, and sketchbooks.
Showing the influence of medieval paintings on wood, these works might be mistaken for darkened heirloom oil paintings. On second glance, one sees lying on the ground, a depiction of a recent Time Magazine's Man of the Year edition featuring Newt Gingerich. The partial view of a car tire comes close -- or is it over? -- the magazine. Roberts appears in this painting, as he does in many of the others, this time coming out of a cloud, clutching two figurines. Words in Latin or other "dead languages," as Roberts puts it, are intentionally used. Small elements are noticed in later viewings. You, the viewer, are left to decipher the symbols, the mysteries. Some seem more obvious, others enigmatic.
As Michael explains, "defacing a painting is a deliberate act of artificially aging the painting. It is also a way for me, the artist, to see possibly what my paintings would look like, if they survived, in years way past my lifetime. I want my paintings to be able to do the speaking for me years from now."
Like his wife Connie, a fellow artist who works in wood, Roberts has a loyal following of collectors. Due to the political content of much of his work, his paintings and portraits have found their way to the Washington D.C. area. A resident of Iowa City, Iowa, Roberts is a native of California. He received his MFA from the University of Iowa in 1975 and has participated in numerous exhibitions nationwide.

Nokia cuts sales forecast
Mobile telecoms giant Nokia has cut its sales forecast, in a further sign that demand for mobile phone handsets is flattening.
The company said net sales for the April to June quarter would come in 2-6% lower than for the same period a year earlier, compared with an original forecast of 2-7% growth.
It added that handset sales would grow by 0-4% on the year, down from the 5-10% originally forecast.
Nokia now expects revenues for the period of 6.9bn-7.2bn euros.
Stocks dance
Investors reacted with initial dismay, sending Nokia shares down 9% in morning trade, despite assurances from the company that it remained on track to hit profits forecasts.
On Wall Street, however, investors focused on Nokia's reaffirmation of its profits targets. The stock closed 4.6% higher at $12.55 after gaining as much as 10% at one point.
The Finnish mobile maker's stock rallied on its home market in late trade, and closed up 6.2% at 14.31 euros.
Shares in Swedish rival Ericsson closed down 1.1%, after standing more than 7% down in morning trade in response to Nokia's report.
Stiff competition
Nokia has been hit hard in recent months by increased competition from rival mobile handset makers such as Siemens and Samsung.
Global growth in mobile handset sales has failed to meet earlier expectations, with most manufacturers overestimating consumers' willingness to upgrade to new models.
The industry is now pinning its hopes for a return to buoyant sales growth on the introduction of new generation mobile phones capable of sending images and video clips.
However, the advent of so-called '3G' mobile phone technology is still some way off.
Boomtime over
This is the second time this year that Nokia has guided investors' expectations of mobile phone sales lower.
In April, the company said it expected the mobile phone industry to sell 400-420 million handsets this year, down from its previous forecast of 440 million.
Nokia remains the dominant force in the global mobile handset market, producing more than a third of the mobile phones sold worldwide.

She's the epitome of a strong, successful woman in Hollywood, but Zoe Saldana knows she didn't achieve her dream alone.
Her life has undergone a massive overhaul over the past year, and Zoe Saldana is thrilled to be a wife and mother of twin boys!
The Beverly Hilton Hotel was chock full of famous folks as the 26th Annual GLAAD Media Awards got underway on Saturday (March 21).
Always one of the most well attended fetes during Hollywood's biggest night, the Vanity Fair Oscar Party continued to live up to its reputation on Sunday (February 22).
Putting her undeniable beauty on full display, Zoe Saldana looked stunning as she arrived at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday (February 22).
The 36-year-old "Avatar" actress struck a few sexy poses on the red carpet before heading inside for the 87th Annual Academy Awards.
Last month she gave birth to her first two children, but Zoe Saldana wasn't keen on releasing any details at the time. However, earlier today (January 2) the "Avatar" actress told fans that she and her husband Marco Perego named their baby boys Cy and Bowie.
Saldana tweeted, "Happy #2015 ! Starting our #NewYear with a fullhouse. Our boys are finally here! Thank U 4 all the beautiful wishes!"
There are two more blessings for Zoe Saldana to count this holiday season as she gave birth to twins last week.
The "Avatar" actress and her husband Marco Perego are keeping the details minimal at this time, but suffice it to say they have their hands full with their two adorable newborns. An inside source told E! News, "Zoe and Marco are both so excited. They are surrounded by family and friends. All that matters now to Zoe and her husband is that the babies are healthy."
She has a host of sequels on the horizon and while Zoe Saldana is grateful for such enviable gigs, nothing will tear her away from her twins before the time is right.
While chatting with Entertainment Weekly, the soon-to-be-mother discussed how she'll handle her responsibilities with the "Avatar," "Guardians of the Galaxy" and "Star Trek" franchises.

Burlington VT (SPX) Feb 08, 2013
Draker is pleased to announce that it has been selected to install its fully integrated Draker AC and Clarity DC panel-to-grid (P2G) monitoring solution at a 2 MW-AC site, the largest installation to date for a fully integrated Draker AC and Clarity DC monitoring system. The solar PV plant in Massachusetts is a fixed mount, 600V system with utility grid interconnection.
"Deployment of Draker's fully integrated AC and Clarity DC monitoring solution at this 2 MW site is a clear recognition of the improvement to levelized cost of energy (LCOE) that Draker's innovative P2G management approach enables for utility-scale power plants," said Draker CEO Chach Curtis.
"Over 50 percent of energy losses occur on the DC side of the inverter. Draker is unique in our ability to cost-effectively provide insight into both DC and AC losses through our comprehensive P2G solutions."
Typical module-level electronics are cost-prohibitive because they must be installed on every module in an array. In contrast, the Clarity DC system provides precise module-level diagnostics at a much lower cost through selective deployment on only 2 modules per string.
Installed cost is further reduced by use of a wireless mesh data communications system, eliminating data cabling and trenching. The actionable intelligence provided by Clarity DC informs operations and maintenance (O and M) strategies and helps to cost-justify preventive and corrective maintenance decisions.
In other developments, Draker is pleased to announce that it has recently concluded a study of the DC-side issues uncovered by its Clarity DC system installed at over 25 customer sites across North America. Draker has analyzed the types and magnitude of DC losses identified at these sites, and their negative effects on system performance.
Systematically analyzing these factors creates a framework in which customers can evaluate the costs, benefits and economic payback from installing a Clarity DC system. The study and its findings can be downloaded from Draker's web site at http://clarity.drakerenergy.com/whitepaper-request-form.html.
Draker's Clarity DC system and Intelligent Array software are available now in North America and Japan, and are being certified for use in additional international markets. Draker's P2G solutions, including Clarity DC, can be installed on new sites or easily retrofit to existing sites.

She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb
She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb It may seem to you like right now, things aren't going well for you at all. With the pressures of college, driving, sports, school and friends, it can be pretty overwhelming, especially if you have bigger problems along with it. If you can find time to read She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb, do so. I'm not saying that no one's life is harder than Dolores Price's, but the problems that seem big to you will seem very, very small compared to Dolores' lifetime of hardships. Dolores is a bitter girl after her parents separate. Her father rarely calls, which hurts her even more because she always had been so close to him. It seems as if from then on, whenever she comes to trust anyone, something awful happens. Lamb takes you from Dolores' childhood to being a young woman, to middle age.When Dolores is about to graduate high school, she weighs in at 257 pounds - weight that accumulated from stuffing herself with every kind of food and sitting in front of the television for years.

There are plenty of Democrats and even some Republicans who view the Republican primary as a gift to President Obama. Sixteen debates, web videos and "you can't even make this up" candidate behavior, have provided plenty of fodder for late night comedians and opposition researchers. Meanwhile, frontrunner Mitt Romneyhas solidified his place on top thanks mostly to the fact that his opponents have imploded.
Even so, three new national polls should give Democrats some serious pause. They show a very vulnerable president who is serious danger of losing re-election.
ABC/Washington Post polling shows Obama's approval rating at 48 percent. Pollster Gary Langer writes: "In polling since 1940, just four previous presidents have started their re-election year with less than 50 percent approval. Only one of them won, Richard Nixon in 1972."
Gallup's Lydia Saad writes: " Obama's job approval rating has averaged 44 percent in Gallup Daily tracking since the start of January. That is below the approval rating of seven out of eight previous incumbents at a comparable point in their presidencies."
CNN/ORC poll asked voters who they saw as best able to "get the economy moving." Just 40 percent chose Obama, while 53 percent picked Romney.

This is not what our nation needs – especially not right now, when our government already spends so much over and beyond what they bring in every year, and the economy is still extremely stagnant.
But despite the blame game that has been the entire Fiscal Cliff drama, the simple, unadulterated truth is that the Fiscal Cliff, and the resulting 11th-hour deal is a direct result of the massive failure in leadership of President Obama and Harry Reid. While the sequestration aspect was an attempt by the GOP to force Democrats into cutting spending, if Obama and Reid truly gave a damn about America's future, they would have taken a break from campaigning six or seven months ago and ironed out a deal then. But that wasn't in the Democrats' best interests politically, so instead the media buried any mention of the Fiscal Cliff until after the election, and the Democrats purposely put off a resolution until the very last second so they could engage in their blame-game. The election was two months ago, yet Barack Obama still has not stopped campaigning.
The Democrats have made it perfectly clear that they are willing to do extreme harm to our nation if it is in their own political self-interest.

100-Year Flood-It's All About Chance
General Information Product 106
- By:
- Robert R. Holmes, Jr. and Karen Dinicola
- More information: USGS Index Page (html)
- Download citation as: RIS
AbstractIn the 1960's, the United States government decided to use the 1-percent annual exceedance probability (AEP) flood as the basis for the National Flood Insurance Program. The 1-percent AEP flood was thought to be a fair balance between protecting the public and overly stringent regulation. Because the 1-percent AEP flood has a 1 in 100 chance of being equaled or exceeded in any 1 year, and it has an average recurrence interval of 100 years, it often is referred to as the '100-year flood'. The term '100-year flood' is part of the national lexicon, but is often a source of confusion by those not familiar with flood science and statistics. This poster is an attempt to explain the concept, probabilistic nature, and inherent uncertainties of the '100-year flood' to the layman.

Homer (1836-1910), Head of a Boy,
1877, pencil on paper, John Wilmerding Collection
As is so often the case with Winslow Homer's images,
the subject seems to be contemplating something beyond the pictorial
space, yet we are given no clue what may have drawn it. The
artist's reluctance to set up narratives with clear resolution,
coupled with his bold handling of line, give Head
of a Boy its considerable strength.
Winslow Homer, Blackboard

Gallery of Art, Gift (Partial and Promised) of Jo Ann and
Julian Ganz, Jr., in Honor of the 50th Anniversary of the

Would You like to Work Less?
Our friends in Sweden have an idea: less work; more play. Some Swedes only work a six hour day. But would that be a good idea in the U.S.?
Employment guru John Challenger of Challenger, Gray & Christmas says one reason the U.S. is the world's top economy is because of our work ethic.
"No question; economic health is tied to the number of hours the workforce works."
But more work doesn't always lead to wealth. Challenger says the typical U.S. worker works 1,790 hours per year.
"If you go to Chile it's 2,029; Mexico 2,226 hours. So there's a lot of variation out there."
Plus, Challenger says less work hours may not be as much about love for workers as it is an attempt to hide a dirty little secret.
"Often when you see this sort of thing it means the country is addressing its unemployment issue by shortening the work week."
Mandating fewer hours means companies have to hire more workers.
Challenger says the Asians outwork us, but the Europeans take much more vacation and work lots fewer hours than Americans.

And, half-way to bowl eligibility already at 3-0, as well as off to the best season start since 1999. But it was much too close for Bulldog comfort, as despite a 23-7 halftime deficit the Trojans were making a real run at the first home-field defeat of a SEC guest. As it turned out State became the first BCS-league team to take a win from Troy at home.
All of which left Coach Dan Mullen with mixed impressions. In fact, he referred first to the evening as "Terrible" with a double-repetition. At the same time, "You know what, I'm proud of our guys. We found a way to win."
This after showing a lot of ways State could have lost. Such as shockingly porous defense that allowed 572 yards and 30 first downs; or a series of stunning dropped passes thrown right to receiver hands, three of which would have surely gone for touchdowns. Add in ill-time penalties; or just a clanked PAT that suddenly loomed large when Troy made it a 23-21 scoreboard at 12:40 of the last period, and a serious SEC upset was possible.
The Trojans did not get their final shot, though. With Russell taking charge, State mustered a 12-play drive of 74 yards to just about lock up victory. Russell, who got it going himself with a called keeper of 20 yards, capped it with a superb read-and-react. The Bulldogs lost a couple of yards on 3rd-and-2 from the Troy 23 but had no notion of attempting any field goal, which Mullen considered useless. "No, it was right at the edge, they had been scoring so fast. We felt we had a good play called."
But not exactly the play Russell saw taking shape. Instead of going over to WR Chris Smith for, hopefully, enough yards to move the chains, Russell tried changing the scoreboard as Bumphis went down the middle. "When I saw the coverage. It was more like a two-coverage and the corner sat-down on Chris," Bumphis said. "So I had to win against just a safety."
Russell's throw found Bumphis just far enough from the back line to get a foot down, though the ball seemed to be a little loose in his hands. The SEC official ruled a touchdown, which mattered as it was reviewed by a Sun Belt official in the booth. He confirmed the score.
Troy answered with a fast surge reaching State's 23 yard line. There Corey Robinson, having a superb evening in the air, threw a rare miss-connect wide of a well-covered Jaquon Robinson inside the ten. With 4th-and-7 the Trojans booted the field goal they would need anyway, hoping to get the ball back despite just one timeout.
They never touched it again. Perkins all-but-sealed the outcome on first down with a 30-yard burst to the midfield stripe. "I knew I had to score or break a long one. And I broke a pretty good one so we ran the clock out after that." With Russell diving forward on 3rd-and-short. Three safe snaps ran out the remaining seconds.
Perkins had a spectacular outing, rushing for a career-best 179 yards on 23 carries with a 30-yard touchdown in the first quarter. That was the score that put State in front to stay, too, after the Trojans had grabbed a short-lived 7-3 advantage. That touchdown came courtesy of Troy's Shawn Southward, who scored twice on 20 carries with 137 yards of his own.
The biggest numbers came via Robinson. A week after chunking the ball a school-record 54 times in one game he threw 'only' 45 passes against State. He completed 32 of them for 343 yards, but no touchdowns. And two of them were intercepted, both by CB Darius Slay in the second quarter.
In fact those turnovers and one other, a strip of a completed pass by LB Deonte Skinner recovered by LB Ferlando Bohanna, might well have set the ultimate course of this game. Because leading 10-7 but already antsy about Troy's consistent production, Mississippi State figured they were perfect moments to pounce.
After Bohanna's recovery at the Bulldog 38 Russell threw a perfect bomb that WR Robert Johnson just plain dropped, open at the 20-yard line. Russell wasn't bothered and came back with a quick screen to Bumphis behind a pair of blockers. They got him the first five yards and Bumphis did the rest, with a timely downfield block by WR Jameon Lewis, for a 72-yard touchdown at 13:03. It was only a 16-7 lead as PK Devon Bell hit an upright for the second time and this PAT came back.
Slay ended Troy's next series with an interception, as Robinson evaded a blitz but forced a deep heave the cornerback out-muscled Eric Thomas for at the eight-yard line. Troy got the ball back and converted a clutch third down, but came back with one of Robinson's rare bad throws. Slay got a hand under this one on the slide at the 42-yard line. During a timeout for review, which upheld the turnover, the call was to go for the jugular again.
This time to Bumphis and this one worked. Russell had just enough time necessary on the play-action for Bumphis to get a step on Troy's Barry Valcin, and while the quarterback was sandwiched upon release the throw connected a step from the goal line for the touchdown at 4:50.
"Yeah, he told me we were going to run it on the sideline," Bumphis said. "And the way their safeties played it was going to be open no matter when we ran it."
Russell finished with a 11-of-26 line which Mullen reminded should have been better, much better save for some embarrassing drops. In the first half WR Ricco Sanders and Lewis also just let sure touchdowns go off their undefended hands. In the third quarter it was WR Joe Morrow, utterly open after his defender fell down and nothing between him and the goal line. He just dropped it, too. Any of those plays, completed, would have made for a much easier evening and better-looking stat sheet. All of them would have made for a record Russell line.
Still, "I never thought about us losing," Perkins said. "We knew it was going to be a hostile environment, they were saying this was the most people that came in a long time. We came out kind of flat but we picked it up."
Bumphis had a career night as well, netting 180 yards on just six catches along with three touchdowns. That tied the State game record, as well as moved the senior into a career-tie of 17 touchdowns. "It's pretty exciting! I didn't do it all by myself though, you've got to give a lot of credit to the quarterback."
LB Cameron Lawrence was a bright spot, along with Slay, for an otherwise battered defense with 13 tackles. But no Dog on that side left happy, with a 6.6-yard per play rate allowed and 9-of-16 conversions on third downs. State only converted 4-of-14 times by contrast, with 457 total yards and just 17 first downs. The Dogs did net better per-play at 7.5, yet it was what else ought to have been gained and scored that kept this one much closer than necessary.
Only, as Mullen said, a close call was still a win and that is something he can teach off of. "We're very fortunate, to play as poorly as we did and come out with a win."

2004 Purdue–Silicon Valley Symposia
Nanoscale manufacturing large, production scale manufacturing of nanoscale materials, structures and devices presents a grand challenge to the engineering community. Over the last decade, progress has been made toward understanding fundamental phenomena at the nanometer scale and the unique properties of nano-engineered materials such as ultrahigh thermal conductivity, electrical conductivity, and mechanical strength. Researchers have also demonstrated nano-electro-mechanical systems (NEMS), integrating physical, chemical, and biological processes into micro to millimeter-scale packages, which could have an enormous impact on economy and national security. However, the current fabrication techniques are often limited to the laboratory scale. Over the next decade, the recently emerged research on nano-technology will influence not only how manufacturing should be done, but will also require entirely new manufacturing methods that are presently unavailable.
In his presentation, Xianfan Xu, Purdue University Professor of Mechanical Engineering, will describe some approaches to nano-manufacturing that are currently under development. He will also explain the nano-manufacturing research being conducted at Purdue. Purdues main efforts focus on the development of large scale nano-lithography/nano-manufacturing processes, development of techniques to assembly nanoscale materials to micro and millimeter scale components and systems, and on the development of low cost techniques for producing nano-crystalline materials. Xu will also discuss the new facilities for nano-manufacturing research, which will be housed in the $100M Birck Nanotechnology Center which is scheduled for completion in summer of 2005.

The 2030 Palette is an interactive online tool that puts the principles behind low-carbon and resilient built environments at the fingertips of architects, planners and designers worldwide. Our goal is to inform the planning and design process at the point of inspiration. By curating the best information... highly complex ideas are made intuitive and accessible. Guiding principles are presented as individual "Swatches", which together make up the larger fabric of sustainable built environments.

 The site - www.2030palette.org - looks like a very useful resource. Could be useful for designers but even more so for client to get by in when trying "new" strategies.

Ask a Lawyer and Get Answers to Your Legal Questions
Hello, I am happy to answer your question.
It doesn't sound right to me.
What court are you in?
Looking at the Civil Practice Law and Rules I do not find any rule that states that a hearing is "required" for an order to show cause to be considered.
This might be where you have difficulty here, because if there is no hearing required at all, then what the judge did was to NOT have a hearing, and to decide based upon just the papers, which i believe is what was stated in the decision, correct?
It certainly doesn't sound like you are being treated very fairly, but to be honest I don't think you have recourse in this instance. The judge decided on the papers, so what happened in court that day wasn't on the record.
Your option is to appeal, but you will need to have a basis for that appeal based upon the papers, not based upon what the judge did.
You can also make a motion to have the judge removed from the case. This is a VERY tricky thing, and I have seen it go very wrong for people. It doesn't happen often and only if there is a severe conflict of interest. In the end , the judge is the judge and it is his courtroom, so as long as he isn't going extremely outside of some written rules, there is not much you can do.
I hope this was helpful and good luck to you.
Ok. The judge does not have to lay out every aspect of his reasoning in a decision, unfortunately, so the fact that he didn't mention law y doesn't really help you.
The injunction from certian activites until there is a hearing is fine as well. I assume he didn't say when that hearing should be?
I think you will have to go with the flow on this one unfortunately.
Take care,
I don't think there is anything you can do about this from my perspective. Especially since the judge kept all interested parties out of chambers and lifted the stays.
Best of luck,
Hello. I see that you received all of my answers.
Please click "Accept" so that I can get paid for my work.
Thanks and good luck.

While Tehran's prosecutor refuses to provide any explanation about threatening reports of explosions in the Evin Prison, other reports indicating the distribution of drugs in Ward 350 of the Evin Prison has further worried the families and the public.
Meanwhile, reports point to the critical conditions of Amir Hossein Kazemi, a member of the nationalist Liberation Front, and journalist Masoud Bastani. On Friday, Zahra Rahnavard visited Narges Mohammadi, who has been at the hospital since her release from prison. Rahnavar said, "The occurrence of tragedies like this in prisoners of a country where officials claim to be just is shameful."
While books are banned at the Evin Prison, and families of journalists and political prisoners cannot bring books for their loved ones in capture, drugs are easily distributed in Ward 350 of the Evin Prison, where most journalists and political prisoners are held captive.
According to the website kalame, drug distribution in Ward 350 has worried many families, who suspect that other motives are involved. The families wonder how drugs are distributed so easily around the ward while books are strictly banned, and even the ward's library and small recreational area are closed.
While drugs are exchanged in higher prices outside prison, they are cheap inside prison.
The families of political prisoners wrote a letter to Tehran's prosecutor asking him to investigate the sound of explosions that were heard in the Evin Prison area, following which prisoners saw flames blazing near the walls of the prison.
Tehran's prosecutor, however, has refused to comment on the matter.
Reports also point to the critical conditions of Amir Hossein Kazemi, a member of the nationalist Liberation Front, and journalist Masoud Bastani.
In a letter to Tehran's prosecutor, Amir Hossein Kazemi's wife has blasted the prison officials' ignorance of her husband's condition.
She wrote, "My husband has been suffering from severe tooth pain for the past 15 nights. Experts say that he must be transferred out of the prison for surgery, but prison officials say that they cannot do that. Instead they give him the pain reliever gelofen day and night."
Amir Hossein Kazemi has been in prison since last winter and was recently sentenced to imprisonment for three years after a 10-minute trial.
Other reports point to Masoud Bastani's critical condition: "Masoud Bastani's tooth and jaw ailments have reached a critical condition. He cannot open his mouth and hasn't slept in the past few night because of the pain."
During the past year, Masoud Bastani and his family have been put under extreme pressure by the intelligence ministry.
Masoud Bastani turned himself in voluntarily last year after his wife, Mahsa Amrabadi, was arrested. He was sentenced to imprisonment and deprivation of citizenship rights for five years.

Hi! I'm really worried about my catfishes. I have a 10 gallon tank with two red-neck turtles in them (size of small palm) and I use to have a few minnows in them to eat. Other then that, I also have 3 catfishes (pleco-something? sorry, not sure of full name) and 1 upside down catfish. Now I don't know what went wrong (its been a half a year and evrything was fine) when all the sudden all of my catfishes started coming out of their hidding places and started swimming near the surface of the tank. The upside down catfish did that for 3 days (i changed the water the second day thinking it might be the water...but it remained swimming around the mid-upper level of the tank) and the next day it died! I thought it might be the oxygen level and I have a filter as well as a oxygen bubble thing running, but to no avail. Now ALL my remaining 3 catfish are swimming around in the open all looking as if they are coasted in white dust or something and they look sick. They NEVER swam out in the open, sometimes not attaching to things...just floating around and that scares me. I thought they might be starving, but I've fed them well! And it couldn't be my turtles attacking because I think BB and GG are actually afraid of the catfish! Plus, there;s still a rosy barb just swimming around for them to eat if they do want to eat fish.... My upside down catfish didn't die of any obvious bites or marks from my turtles. This has never happened before. So I'd really really love some help fast! I'm so nervous.....PLEASE RESPOND SOON! I don't know who else could help me!! Thanks~*

I think what could be causing this might be fungus? I have no idea, but after reading about fish sickness, I think I'll wash everything and dry out everything before moving the fish back into the fish tank...oh...another catfish died...sigh...I'm down to two....

First of all, I don't think I've ever heard of two plecos living in a ten gallon tank... much less three. Secondly, it sounds more like you have a terrarium than an aquarium.
Plecos eat algae, or algae wafers, not guppies. They need plenty of room as I have owned ten and twelve inch plecos. What type of filtration do you have and is the water level to the top of the tank, or mid level?
In half a years time a pleco can grow to be five or six inches long under the right circumstances. I have no experience with turtles, however this is the first case I've heard of turtles and fish being mixed together. You should never wash and dry evrything out in an aquarium as you will be killing all of your good bacteria and the fish will die. Since you , however have more of a terrarium, I have no idea what type of water quality we may be dealing with.
Sorry I couldn't help.

I hope you are able to read this in time. sounds like your fish have Ich. Its a parasite that lives on fish and attacks the respitory system (sorry for spelling) go to your local pet store and ask for ich cure. they sell it. you have to begin treating them asap. and hopefully its not to late. the pet store should be able to tell you what you need to do in order to get rid of this. I purchased some pictus catfish at Walmart a few months back and this is what happened to them within a week of buying them. i posted my situation and someone told me about ich (pronouced ick)Unfortunatly my fish all died. Hope you are able to save yours.
