1. These Appeals are filed against the orders and judgments of a learned single Judge dismissing the appellants' petition Under Section 34 of the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 (for short "the said Act") for setting aside the award of the learned sole Arbitrator. The learned counsel stated that the decision in Appeal (Lodging) No. 993 of 2003 will govern the decision in Appeal (Lodging) No. 994 of 2003. We shall for convenience refer to the facts in the former Appeal.
2. The appellants invited tenders for certain construction work. The respondent was the successful tenderer. The appellants therefore, accepted the Appeal (Lodging) No. 993 of 2003 in Arb. Pet. No. 218 of 2003 decided on 22-2-2005. (O.O.C.J., Bombay) respondent's tender by a letter dated 29th November, 1997. The agreement was governed by the terms and conditions contained in the said letter and other documents such as the General Conditions of Contract for Lump Sum Contracts, Special Conditions of Contract, Particular Specifications, Drawing and MES Standard Schedule of Rates. The contract was signed between the parties on 4th February, 1999. Disputes and differences having arisen between the parties the respondent invoked the arbitration clause. The respondent claimed an amount of Rs. 1,88,14,887/-. The learned Arbitrator on 30th December, 2002 made the award and on 9th January, 2003 amended the same.
3. The learned single Judge by the impugned order dated 21st July, 2003, dismissed both the petitions holding that all the contentions raised before the learned Arbitrator had been taken into consideration; that the findings are within the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator and that the same could not be challenged in a petition Under Section 34 of the said Act.
4. Mr. Suresh Kumar, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the appellant confined the challenge to the award in respect of four claims. We will deal with each of them separately.
5. The learned Arbitrator awarded an amount of Rs. 1,99,5487- in favour of the respondent on account of wrong price adjustment in respect of Deviation Order (D.O.) No. 27. The claim and the award in respect of this deviation order pertained to price adjustment for the provision of certain sanitary fittings such as wash basins and W.Cs. of one make in lieu of the makes specified in the contract. The challenge was based on Condition 62 (G) of the General Conditions of Contracts For Lump Sum Contracts (I.A.F. W-2159). It is an admitted position that these conditions were part of the terms and conditions between the parties. Condition 62 reads as under :--
"62. Valuation of Deviations. -- The value of items of work covered by deviation order shall be ascertained by measurements or lump sum assessment in the following order of precedence :--
(G). For all Contracts --
If any Work, the rate for which cannot be obtained by any of the methods referred to in paras (A) to (E) above, has been ordered on the Contractor, the rate shall be decided by the G.E. on the basis of the cost to the contractor at Site of Works plus 10% to cover all overheads and profit. Provided that if the Contractor is not satisfied with the decision of the G.E. he shall be entitled to represent the matter to the C.W.E, within seven days of receipt of the G.E.'s decision and the decision of the C.W.E. thereon shall be final and binding."
6. It is admitted that the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator to decide the claim based on the deviation orders including this deviation order was never questioned in the arbitration proceedings itself. This point was raised only after the award was passed. Even assuming that not having challenged the jurisdiction of the learned Arbitrator, it is open to the appellant to challenge the award on this ground in a petition Under Section 34 of the said Act there is no merit in the contention. In fact this contention is unfair to the learned Arbitrator.
7. As rightly pointed out by Mr. Rajadeksha, the learned counsel appearing on behalf of the respondent, the deviation orders were submitted by the respondent to the appellant. They were not decided by the Garisson Engineer (G.E.). The deviation orders were not issued by the appellant. This was the grievance of the respondent before the learned Arbitrator. In these circumstances, the parties expressly agreed to leave this aspect of the matter to the decision of the learned Arbitrator. This is clear from the entire award dealing with the deviation orders.
8. In view of the grievance of the respondent, the appellant finalised, during the course of the arbitration proceedings, all the deviation orders upto serial No. 32 including the said deviation order No. 27 the award in respect whereof is under challenge. Thereafter the respondent was directed to take these deviation orders as the basic documents and to state their objections, if any, in respect thereof. Each deviation order under objection was discussed and argued by the parties before the learned Arbitrator. The procedure was followed in respect of all the disputed deviation orders. Thereafter the appellant placed on record its arguments before the learned Arbitrator.
9. It is obvious therefore why the appellant never questioned the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator by invoking the provisions of Clause 62(G) of the General Conditions of Contracts.
10. The learned Arbitrator thereupon considered in detail the rival cases and gave a detailed reasoned award in respect of each of the deviation orders including deviation order No. 27. As far as the decision of the Arbitrator on merits is concerned, there was no real grievance on the part of the appellant.
In the circumstances, we are unable to accept Mr. Suresh Kumar's challenge to the award in respect of deviation order No. 27.
11. Mr. Suresh Kumar then challenged the award in respect of the respondent's claim pertaining to changes executed at site but for which deviation orders regularizing the same had not been finalized and issued by the appellant. In respect of a part of the respondent's claim No. 1 in the sum of Rs. 1,25,798/-, it was contended on behalf of the respondent that the change was not ordered and that the contactor executed a part of the work without being authorised to do so. It is contended on behalf of the appellant that the appellant had permitted only a part of the work to be executed and that therefore the respondent was not entitled to the entire amount claimed in respect of the said claim. The claim was for 3.5 cm bituminous carpet. The appellant's contention was that only 2.0 cm bituminous carpet was authorised.
12. This contention however was specifically raised before the learned Arbitrator who held that he did not accept the appellant's contention that the respondent executed this change on his own without any order from the department. The learned Arbitrator therefore awarded an amount of Rs. 1,05,750/- being the difference due to the respondent. This is a finding of fact which the learned Arbitrator arrived at after considering the evidence. The challenge to the award in this respect must therefore fail.
13. Mr. Suresh Kumar then challenged the award in respect of claim No. 2 raised by the respondent pertaining to the provisions of MS grills to windows. It was submitted that the learned Arbitrator had no jurisdiction to award the said amount in view of Condition 6-A of the General Conditions of Contracts which reads as under :--
"6A. Discrepancies and Adjustment of Errors (Applicable generally to Measurement and Lump Sum Contracts) -- The several documents forming the contract are to be taken as mutually explanatory of one another, detailed drawings being followed in preference to small scale drawings and figured dimensions in preference to scale.
In the case of discrepancy between Schedule "A", the Bills of Quantities, the Specifications and/or the Drawings the following order of precedence shall be observed :--
(a) Description of Schedule "A'TBills of Quantities. (b) Particular Specification (c) Drawings. (d) General Specification.
If there are varying or conflicting provisions made in any one document forming part of the Contract the Accepting Officer shall be the sole deciding authority with regard to the intention of the document and his decision in this respect shall be final and binding."
14. It is clear on a plain reading of this clause that the Accepting Officer is the sole deciding authority with regard to the intention of the document and his decision in this respect shall be final and binding only if there are varying or conflicting provisions made in any one document forming part of the contract. The fallacy in Mr. Suresh Kumar's submission is that there is in fact no variation or conflict in any such contractual document insofar as claim No. 2 is concerned. We repeatedly asked Mr. Suresh Kumar to show us the provisions in the contract documents which were at variance or in conflict with each other. He failed to do so.
15. This was never even the case of the appellant itself. Mr. Rajadeksha submitted that in fact the item viz. MS grill are not included in the contract. The question therefore of there being any conflict or variance regarding the same in any contractual document cannot and does not arise. In this regard Mr. Rajadeksha relied upon a letter dated 14th June, 1999 addressed by the appellant to the respondent in which the appellant expressly stated that:
"These MS GRILL are not included in the contract. A proposal to order provision of MS GRILL has been initiated by this office. But AIP has not been accorded by 6E/CME/CE (K) Mumbai. As per agreed condition of contract under condition 7 of IAPW-2249 you will not execute any work without written order to you."
16. In these circumstances, the learned Arbitrator inter-alia held as under:--
"As such I find that there are no conflicting or varying provisions in any one document requiring the Accepting Officer to give final and binding decision under condition 6A of IAFW 2249 and the decision or interpretation given by CE cannot be final and binding in terms of condition 6A of IAFW 2249. In view of above UOI's contention about arbitrability of this claim stand rejected and I conclude that I have got the jurisdiction to arbitrate and adjudicate on this claim."
17. We are in respectful agreement with the finding of the learned Arbitrator. Moreover, the learned Arbitrator was entitled in view of Section 16 of the said Act to decide the question as to his jurisdiction which he has done. We not only do not find the decision of the learned Arbitrator in this regard perverse or unsustainable but we are in respectful agreement with the learned Arbitrator.
In the circumstances, the challenge to the award in respect of Claim No. 2 is also rejected.
18. Claim No. 12 pertains to damages for breach of contract resulting due to prolongation of work necessitating extra expenditure such as on overheads, supervision and headquarter expenses. It was submitted on behalf of the appellant that the claim was not arbitrable in view of condition No. 11 (C) of the General Conditions of Contracts.
19. The point is no longer res integra. An identical contention was raised in respect of the same clause in Shyam Charan Agarwala and Sons v. Union of India (Appeal No. 1249 of 1996 in Arbitration Petition No. 86 of 1995), decided on 8th January, 1997 - . A Division Bench of this Court upheld the contention similar to the one raised on behalf of the appellant in this case. The Supreme Court however set aside the judgment of the Division Bench (1998) 9 SCC 410. We will deal with the judgments shortly.
20. Condition 11 reads as under :--"11. Time, Delay and Extension --
(A) Time is of the essence of the Contract and is specified in the contract documents or in each individual Works Order. As soon as possible after Contract is let or any substantial Works Order is placed and before Work order it is begun, the G.E. and the Contractor shall agree upon a Time and Progress Chart. The Chart shall be prepared in direct relation to the time stated in the contract documents or the Works Order for completion of the individual items thereof and/or the Contract or Works Order as a whole. It shall indicate the forecast of the dates for commencement and completion of the various trade processes or sections of the work, and shall be amended as may be required by agreement between the G.E. and the Contractor within the limitation of time imposed in the contract documents or Works Order. If the Works be delayed :--
(i) by force majeure, or (ii) by reason of abnormally bad weather; or (iii) by reason of serious loss or damage by fire, or (iv) by reason of civil commotion, local combination of workmen, strike or lockout, affecting any of the trades employed on the work, or (v) by reason of delay on part of nominated sub-contractors, or nominated suppliers which the Contractor has, in the opinion of G.E., taken all practicable steps to avoid, or reduce, or (vi) by reasons of delay on the part of Contractors or tradesmen engaged by Government in executing works not forming part of the contracts, or (vii) by reason of any other cause, which in the absolute discretion of the Accepting Officer is beyond the Contractor's control;
then, in any such case the Officer hereinafter mentioned may make fair and reasonable extension in the completion dates of individual items or groups of items of works for which separate periods of completion are mentioned in the contract documents or Works Order, as applicable.
Upon the happening of any such event causing delay, the Contractor shall immediately, but not later than 30 days of the happening of the event, give notice thereof in writing to the G.E. but shall nevertheless use constantly his best endeavour to prevent or make good the delay and shall do all that may reasonably be required to the satisfaction of the G.E. to proceed with the works. Extension of time shall be granted as under :--
(a) by G.E. for all Term Contracts (b) by Accepting Officer of the contract for all other Contracts. In case the Contractor fails to notify the G.E. of happening of an event(s) causing delay within the period of 30 days stipulated in sub-para (3) above, he shall forfeit his right to claim extension of time for the delay caused due to such event(s). Extension of time, as granted above, shall be communicated to the Contractor by G.E. in writing and shall be final and binding. PROVIDED THAT in the case of contracts (other than Term Contracts) accepted by the G.E., in the event of the Contractor not agreeing to the extension granted by the G.E., the matter shall be referred to the C.W.E. whose decision shall be final and binding. (B) If the Works be delayed :-- (a) by reason of non-availability of Government stores shown in Schedule "B"; (b) by reason of non-availability or breakdown of Govt. Tools and Plant listed in Schedule "C";
then, in any such event, notwithstanding the provisions hereinbefore contained, the Accepting Officer may in his discretion grant such extension of time as may appear reasonable to him and the same shall be communicated to the Contractor by the G.E. in writing. The decision so communicated shall be final and binding and the Contractor shall be bound to complete the works within such extended time.
(C) No claim in respect of compensation or otherwise, howsoever arising, as a result of extensions granted under Conditions (A) and (B) above shall be admitted.
21. The bar contained in Condition 11 (C) would operate only if the extension is granted under Clauses 11(A) and (B). The question whether the extension falls within the ambit of condition Nos. 11(A) and (B) pertains to the construction/interpretation of the agreement which falls within the jurisdiction of the Arbitrator. Condition 11 certainly required to be interpreted and construed. It is not a clause which requires no interpretation and must simply be applied by the Arbitrator.
22. The Arbitrator after a detailed consideration and analysis of the rival contentions and of the contractual provisions held that the extension granted did not fall within the ambit of condition Nos. 11(A) and (B).
23. Firstly, the learned Arbitrator came to the conclusion that a mere statement on the part of the appellant that the extension was granted under condition No. 11 (C) is not sufficient to bring into operation the said clause. We are in respectful agreement with the same. It is certainly open to the Arbitrator to decide whether the extension was within the ambit of condition Nos. 11(A) and (B) in order to determine whether the bar contained in condition No. 11 (C) came into operation or not despite the appellant's letter granting the extension. For the appellant's statement that the extension is under Clause 11 (A) is the appellant's interpretation of the condition which is not binding on the respondent and certainly cannot bind the Arbitrator. The dispute regarding the ambit of the clause is one which fell for the decision of the Arbitration.
24. That the appellant caused the delays necessitating the extensions being granted was not disputed before us. Mr. Suresh Kumar however submitted that an extension even in such cases falls within the ambit of Clauses 11 (A) and/or (B). He submitted that condition 11(A)(vii) pertains to all extensions irrespective of the circumstances in which the same may have been necessitated. The learned Arbitrator however held that Sub-clause (vii) is merely an extension of Sub-Clauses (i) to (vi) which preceded it. The learned Arbitrator came to the conclusion that the extensions were necessitated by reason of the delay caused by the appellant and were therefore not governed by Sub-clause (vii). He held that Sub-clause (vii) cannot be considered in isolation and must be read together with Sub-clauses (i) to (vi). He held that Sub-clause (vii) does not encompass the reasons or causes which are within the appellant's control and where the appellant is guilty for the delay, in the present case the Arbitrator came to the conclusion that the delay was caused by the appellant which necessitated the extension.
25. We are in agreement with the construction placed on Clause 11 by the learned Arbitrator. The least that can be said is that the Arbitrator's view is a possible view. In any event, the question is no longer res-integra. A learned single Judge of this Court, S. A. Bobde J., had occasion to consider a similar point in the case of Union of India v. Mukesh Construction Co. and Anr., (Arbitration Petition No. 141 of 1997 in Award No. 19 of 1997). The submission in that case on behalf of the petitioner was identical to the submission before us. The contractual provisions are also identical. Bobde. J. has demonstrated clearly how the appellant's submission is not sustainable in view of the Supreme Court having overruled the judgment of the Division Bench of this Court in Shyam Charan Agarwala and Sons v. Union of India (Appeal No. 1249 of 1996, decided on 8th. January, 1997), . It is necessary for us to only elaborate upon the judgment of Bobde, J. as the point appears to arise in several matters and as His Lordship's judgment is not reported.
26(a). In 5. C. Agarwala and Sons, as in this case, the extensions were all due to the default committed by the respondents therein. It was submitted therefore on behalf of the appellant that the extensions which were granted by the respondents for execution of the work are not covered by Clauses 11(A)(B) of the agreement. The Arbitrator in that case had upheld this contention. The respondent filed the petition for setting aside the award. The learned Single Judge set aside the award. Upholding the order of the learned Single Judge and rejecting the appellant's contention the Division Bench held as under :--
"In view of the aforesaid admission in the statement of claim, it is apparent that extensions were granted by the respondents at the instance of the appellants and the appellants have pointed out that the time was extended by the respondents due to reasons which were beyond the control of the claimants. It has been also specifically mentioned that the reason for grant of extensions was all due to bad planning and delay in decision and non-availability of Government stores to be issued under Schedule B.
5. If this is the position, it cannot be said that extensions which were granted by the respondents for execution of the work are not covered by Clause 11 (A) or (B) of the agreement. Extensions were granted at the request of the appellants. As per Clause 11 (A), extensions of time granted are final and binding on the contractor. Further, he has never raised any dispute for such extensions. Otherwise matter would have been referred to the C.W.E. Once the said extensions are covered under Clauses 11(A) or (B) of the agreement; under Clause 11(C) neither party to the agreement is entitled to claim compensation or otherwise howsoever arising as a result of extensions granted under conditions (A) and (B) of Clause 11. Therefore, in our view, the learned Single Judge rightly set aside the award passed by the learned Arbitrator by misconstruing the aforesaid clauses of the agreement.
6. While dealing with similar clause in the case of Union of India v. Ajit Mehta and Associates and Ors., AIR 1990 Bombay 45, the Court held that when there was a specific prohibition against entertainment of such claim in the contract, it was certainly not open for the arbitrator to grant the same and if the arbitrators have granted the same, they are guilty of legal misconduct on that count. In such a situation, the arbitrator has not only misread or misconstrued or misunderstood the contract but has acted in excess of what was agreed. It was an error going to the root of his jurisdiction because the arbitrator asked himself the wrong question, disregarded the contract and awarded an amount which was not contemplated under the agreement."
(b). By its order and judgment dated 7-9-1998 the Supreme Court, overruling the judgment held as. under :
"In view of the decision of the Court in P. R. Ravindran v. State of Kerala, 1996 (10) SCC 35, the appeal is allowed and the impugned judgment and order of the Court is set aside. There will be, therefore, a decree in respect of Claim No. 8 of the Award."
(c). As noted by Bobde, J., the citation of K. R. Raveendranathan's case was wrongly given as 7996 (10) SCC 35. This was subsequently corrected by the order of the Supreme Court dated 12th March, 1990 while dismissing a Review petition filed by the Union of India in that case.
(d). The Supreme Court in K. R. Raveendranathan's case held as under :--"2. The learned counsel for the appellant points out that the question in issue in the present appeals is squarely covered by the decision of this Court in Hindustan Construction Co. Ltd. v. State of J and K. In particular, it drew our attention to para 10 of the judgment and the portion extracted from the decision in Sudarsan Trading Co. case wherein it was said that by purporting to construe the contract the Court could not take upon itself the burden of saying that this was contrary to the contract and, as such, beyond jurisdiction. That is exactly what the Court has done in the instant case. Therefore, the issue stands covered by this decision and the learned counsel for the respondents could not in the face of this decision argue otherwise.
3. In the result, we allow these appeals and set aside the impugned order of the Division Bench of the High Court with no order as to costs."
27. The judgment of the Supreme Court in S. C. Agarwala and Sons (supra) is binding on us. It was in respect of the same clause and on the identical issue.
28. The same clause also fell for consideration before another learned Single Judge of this Court (Dr. D. Y. Chandrachud, J.) in Union of India v. Moti Enterprises and Anr., 2003(1) Mh.L.J. 930 = 2003 Vol. 105 (1) BLR 560. The arbitrator in that case had taken the same view as the arbitrator in the present case. On behalf of the Union of India, the award was challenged, on the same ground as they have challenged the award in the present case. The learned Single Judge held as under :--
"The view which has been taken by the learned Arbitrator accords, in my opinion, with a plain construction of the contractual conditions in the present case. The view which has been taken by the Arbitrator cannot be in any manner considered to be perverse or of a nature which would warrant an invocation of the defence of public policy. The Arbitrator was entirely justified in taking the view that if an extension that is granted is not referable to Condition 11(A) and (B), the prohibition contained in Condition 11(C) could not be attracted. However, I must add that even if the view which was taken by the learned Arbitrator was a possible view to take, this Court Under Section 34 would not have - interfered. In the present case it does so happen that the interpretation taken by the Arbitrator is a correct view to take."
29. We are in respectful agreement with the judgments of both the learned Single Judges in the case of Union of India v. Mukesh Construction Company and Union of India v. Moti Enterprises. In the circumstances, the challenge to the award in respect of claim No. 12 is rejected.
30. In the circumstances, the Appeals are dismissed. The appellant shall pay the costs of this Appeal to the respondents fixed at Rs. 2,5007- in respect of each of the Appeals.

A Japanese children's television presenter has worn an outfit with "I love c***", "I love p****" and "I love f*** yeah" emblazoned on it.
Sasuga Minami has apparently donned the explicit onesie on numerous occasions for morning TV show Miburi TV.
And perhaps most shockingly of all nobody has apparently batted an eyelid.
It is thought the first two words would likely be lost in translation somewhat.
But the third is far more well known because it is a close translation of their word "fakku".
To cap off the bizarre nature of the programme, in one episode Minami appears to be teaching a group of children in Nirvana t-shirts how to dance.

Ayurveda: The Balance of Health
If I could earn a living doing what I love most, I would promote health and balance through Ayurveda, a form of alternative medicine. Currently, I am attending nursing school to obtain a Bachelor's of Science in nursing degree. As a student nurse I am not only interested in helping people—I am interested in assisting individuals to empower and educate themselves in order to maximize their quality of life. My lifelong goal is to inspire everyone I meet to find the perfect balance of exercise, family, and work, all while remaining in top physical health. Ayurvedic medicine is one of the worlds oldest holistic healing systems that deal with the equilibrium of certain elements, which prolong health and prevent illness. Through this form of medicine I would be able to offer care for individuals who were suffering injury or illness and provide education on how they could find their way back to good health using Ayurvedic treatments such as massage, diet, breathing techniques, herbal remedies, and relaxation practices. I would also be able to motivate people who were not ill to continue leading healthy lifestyles in order to encourage others to do the same. Instead of worrying about expensive medical bills, people could positively impact their quality of life through the simple yet effective practices of Ayurvedic medicine.

IT IS no wonder that councillors Alexander and Merrett do not want an inquiry into the Lendal Bridge fiasco (Lendal Bridge Inquiry Opposed, The Press, June 5) as they were the main perpetrators of this ill thought out idea.
It is amazing how these two have kept their positions on the council, Merrett being moved to another post with a fancy title and Alexander writing the odd letter to The Press and the usual photo shoots.
In any other workplace they would be either out of a job or demoted. You couldn't make it up.

By Dianne Cornish, REVIEW STAFF

A proposal from Branthaven Homes to build 45 three-storey townhouse units on the northwest corner of Parkside Drive and Hamilton Street has neighbouring residents worried about increased traffic pressures at an intersection that is already heavily travelled.

A petition signed by 30 residents of Truedell Circle, a residential street in the new subdivision just west of the proposed development, was recently presented to Ward 15 councillor Judi Partridge, who hosted a public meeting about the development last Wednesday. About 30 residents attended the meeting at St. Thomas the Apostle Roman Catholic Church.

Attendees were given an opportunity to ask questions about the townhouse development and voice their concerns about the plan.

The petition indicated residents are opposed to increasing the number of townhouses from 47 to 59 units. But Jason Mosdell, project coordinator for Branthaven Homes, said the density has been decreased from 47 to 45 units and there was never any plan to build 59 units on the site. He explained that some confusion might have arisen from a document previously circulated to area homeowners that mentioned the number of proposed units based on 59 units per hectare. That number, too, has been downgraded to 57 units per hectare, he added.

Partridge scheduled last week's meeting after learning about the proposal from a Branthaven Homes representative about three weeks ago. "That is a lot of density for an incredibly busy intersection," she said, adding that traffic and parking are her biggest concerns. Parking will not be permitted on the streets of the new development, putting additional pressure on areas in the neighbourhood where parking is allowed, she said.

Mosdell said Tuesday that each townhouse will have two parking spaces, one in an attached garage and the other in a driveway. In addition, visitors' parking will be provided.

As far as adding to traffic in the area, he said the development will "minimally add to an existing problem" that is to be alleviated with the widening of Parkside Drive in the area.

Partridge said residents at the meeting wanted to know when Parkside would be widened and when the proposed east-west corridor north of Parkside will be built. Both measures are designed to relieve traffic congestion in the area.

While the City of Hamilton wasn't planning to widen Parkside Drive to three lanes from Hwy. 6 to Churchill Ave. until 2016, Partridge was successful in getting the project moved up to 2013-2014. Discussion on the east-west corridor is expected to resume this fall, the councillor said.

The petition about the Branthaven Homes proposal was drawn up after Partridge's office circulated a notice about last week's meeting. Because some residents were scheduled to be away during the week, an area homeowner created the petition so they had a way to indicate their opposition to the plan.

Partridge said residents were "respectful but very vocal" about their concerns. Some are worried the new development will be linked to their neighbourhood, increasing traffic on their streets, but Mosdell said there is no interest in having the new development access onto Truedell Circle. At the meeting, the project coordinator gave a presentation about the proposal and, along with city planners, fielded questions from residents for over an hour.

Partridge said holding the meeting was a good way not only of garnering public input, but also to show a representative of the developer firsthand what the concerns and challenges are for any development at the busy intersection. She said she plans to hold a public meeting for all developments that have yet to receive site plan approval in Ward 15 since she was elected as councillor.

Early plans for the Branthaven development showed one egress from Hamilton Street and two on Parkside, right across from the Tim Horton's entrance, but the revised plan shows just two on Parkside.

Mosdell suggested that anyone wanting to get an idea of the styles of townhouses planned for the Waterdown site can visit Branthaven's Mayfair development at 4240 Fairview St. in Burlington, where back-to-back townhouses exist, or the Millcroft Lane development at 4183 Upper Middle Rd. in Burlington, where standard and rear-lane townhouses can be seen.

Partridge said she plans to keep on top of the Branthaven plan until a resolution satisfactory to neighbouring residents is found. "I will not support anything that doesn't work for that particular intersection," she said.

The proposal is expected to come before the city's planning committee for public comment in December.

International Guild of Town Pipers
From medieval times up to the beginning of the 19th century every British town and city of any note had a band of Waits.
Their duties varied from time to time and place to place, but included playing their instruments through the town at night, waking the townsfolk on dark winter mornings by playing under their windows, welcoming Royal visitors by playing at the town gates, and leading the Mayor's procession on civic occasions. Their instruments also varied, but were for the main part loud and penetrating wind instruments such as the shawm, which was so closely associated with them that it was also known as the Wait-Pipe. Waits were provided with salaries, liveries and silver chains of office, bearing the town's arms.
For more information on the Guild of Town pipers visit: www.townwaits.org.uk
The Taborers Society
The Taborers Society celebrates an ancient musical tradition going back over 700 years. Taborers are depicted in church and cathedral carvings across England.
The taborer plays two instruments at once, a small drum (the tabor) and a one-handed flute (the pipe or tabor pipe). This enables the musician to beat a dance rhythm on the drum whilst playing the melody on the pipe. The heyday of the taborer was the 13th century to the 15th century. Taborers played an important role in court and civic life, and would have been a familiar sight to those attending the original Mystery Plays.
For the modern productions of the York Mystery Plays, the Taborers play English music, sacred and secular, from the period of the original plays. Musicians in costume play modern copies of early instruments. They are accompanied by musicians playing other instruments from that time, including the English bagpipe and the hurdy gurdy.

BTW you're car looks good to what color is it???
HEY a little neg camber didnt hurt anyone.... well except for uneven tire wear lol

To the original poster, I'd like to see a picture of how low your front adjustment is to achieve the final height pictured here:
My fronts are at their lowest setting and they must be sitting close to or slightly higher than yours!
I've already contacted KW and am currently filling out their tech sheet/ sending pictures. Something is wrong!
Is this what you were asking for??
the second shot is from a lower perspective thats why it looks like it has massive wheel gap lol
I didnt mess with the height adjustment knob.... so i basically pulled it out of the box and installed them as they came...
but if yours is at the lowest setting and it is at my ride height then i think you should contact KW... because i know their is alot of thread to lower mine at this ride height!

not to mention, he probably also broke your auto-leveling arm by doing that lol

President Ross gives Lynn's fifth State of the University address
Published Oct. 28, 2010
President Kevin M. Ross reviewed successes, challenges and ambitious goals during his fifth State of the University address on Oct. 27, in front of staff, faculty and students in the Keith C. and Elaine Johnson Wold Performing Arts Center.
Knights Unite Day of Caring on Jan. 12, 2011
One of the highlights of the speech was the announcement of the annual Knights Unite Day of Caring, a new service project that will occur each Jan. 12, starting in 2011, as a way to remember the lost but never forgotten members of Lynn's community – professors Patrick Hartwick and Richard Bruno and students, Stephanie Crispinelli, Brittney Gengel, Christine Gianacaci and Courtney Hayes. A Celebration of Life Ceremony will take place that day at 4:53 p.m., the time of the quake, to honor their lives as well as the lives of their family and friends.
The past year called for a time of mourning, reflection and now remembrance, Ross said. Since then, "we are stronger in a lot ways… We have now gained and most definitely earned the reputation as the university that cares." Ross said the university is dedicated to continuing the work of the six lost members of the Journey of Hope Haiti.
After the quake, the university established the Lynn University Haiti Crisis Fund, which raised nearly $54,000, to assist members of the campus community, including students, faculty and more than 40 Haitian staff members who were affected by the earthquake. In addition, the Lynn University Global Citizenship Memorial Fund was also started to aid students in educational experience and service opportunities.
Lynn's curriculum receives national attention
Ross pointed out that Lynn's core curriculum, The Dialogues of Learning, entered into its second year and received national recognition by the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U) for a second time. He proudly announced that Lynn was chosen as one of 32 universities out of more than 140 applicants to participate in General Education for a Global Century, a curriculum and faculty development project that is part of AAC&U's Shared Futures initiative funded by the Henry Luce Foundation.
"The Dialogues are helping us fulfill our mission to provide the education, support and environment that enable individual students to realize their full potential and to prepare for success in the world," Ross said.
The cost of education
Ross also focused on Lynn's devotion to holding the line on tuition rates and doing its part to make college more affordable for our families. Despite being a private university during the greatest recession in a lifetime, Lynn has managed to keep the growing cost of tuition well below the national average. At Lynn, undergraduate tuition rose only 2.8 percent compared to the national average of 4.5 percent. In addition, there were no increases for room and board and various other fees at the university.
Lynn 2020 and the master plan
Ross outlined the Lynn 2020 strategic plan – now in its fifth year – and the campus master plan, which includes a new student center at the top of the list, along with enhanced stadiums for soccer, baseball and softball, as well as new on-campus student housing.
He also reviewed the recently completed additions to campus including the Perper Tennis Complex, which hosted last year's NCAA Division II tennis championship, and the Wold Performing Arts Center which hosted the Klein-West congressional debate on Oct. 12 and the Haiti benefit concert featuring Dashboard Confessional on April 30.
"Every day we wake up and say, 'Okay, what's next?'" Ross said. "We already know what's supposed to happen when."
The master plan has already been submitted to the city for approval.
Student Government Association President Mohamed Abdalla, a senior aviation management student, said there's only one downside to the 2020 plan. "I wish it could be done before I graduate," said Abdalla. "The master plan is amazing and makes a lot of sense."
Lynn's 50th anniversary in 2012
Lynn anticipates the celebration of its 50th anniversary in 2012. "It will be a celebration like none other in our school's history," Ross told the audience.
As he closed his speech, Ross said, "It is the dedication and drive of our faculty and staff; the spirit and strength of our students; and the support and enthusiasm of our friends that makes us who we are."
Upon exiting the theater after the speech, Abdalla was asked if he planned to stay connected to Lynn University after he graduates, and his simple reply, "I am Lynn."

A choir of 600 singers gave the Queen her first idea of the choral singing for which Wales is famous.
Greatly must they rejoice when they see their beautiful child in the choral dance.
With regard to choral and orchestral performances apart from the stage, Vienna had till more recent times very little to boast of.
They were, like most Spartan choral dances, renowned for their graceful rhythms.
Ries was consequently very anxious to give the choral Symphony according to Beethoven's own ideas.
Not at all, but I find dolorous passages in this choral, as in all the Calvinist hymns.
The "Ambrosian Chant" was the antiphonal plain-song arranged and systematized to statelier effect in choral symphony.
The sacrifice has been offered; the choral prayer has gone up.
Three other members of the choral company were there already.
In any case the choral sections would have to be translated.
1580s, from Middle French choral or directly from Medieval Latin choralis "belonging to a chorus or choir," from Latin chorus (see chorus).

December 11, 2002
AMHERST, MA - After earning New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) Player of the Week honors on Monday, Amherst College senior tri-captain Pat Fitzsimons (Durham, NC) was named the ECAC Men's Basketball Player of the Week for the period ending December 7.
Fitzsimons averaged 17.7 points and 13.3 rebounds while leading the undefeated and ninth-ranked Lord Jeffs to a trio of home victories over Clark University, Springfield College and Westfield State last week. His performance against Clark was particularly notable. The 6' 8", 220-pound center fell just one block shy of his second career triple-double with 11 points, 15 boards and nine blocks, as Amherst snapped a string of four straight losses to Clark, a team that has advanced to the NCAA Elite in each of the past two seasons.
Fitzsimons then torched Springfield for 15 points and game-highs of 12 rebounds and five blocks, before pouring in a career-high 27 points on 12-for-15 shooting, to go along with game-highs of 13 rebounds and five blocks, against Westfield State. He now has five double-doubles in seven games this season, has led the Jeffs in scoring three times and has led the team in rebounding in every game.
Prior to last night's 80-62 win at Worcester State College, in which he tallied eight points, nine boards and four blocks, Fitzsimons led the NESCAC in rebounding (11.7 rpg), blocked shots (5.33 bpg) and field goal percentage (.681), and was third in the conference in scoring at 19.0 points per game.
Fitzsimons was a Second-Team All-NESCAC selection as a junior, when he finished second in the nation, led the conference and set a new Amherst single-season record with a .664 field-goal percentage. He also led the NESCAC and finished 16th in the nation in blocked shots (2.6 bpg), was third in the conference in rebounding (9.0 rpg), and shattered his own single-season school record with 76 blocked shots. Fitzsimons is currently the 19th leading scorer in school history with 933 points (and counting) - 67 points shy of becoming just the 16th Amherst player to crack the career 1,000-point plateau.
After a 24-day layoff, Amherst will put its 7-0 record to the test with a non-league tilt at Webber International University in Babson Park, Florida on Friday, January 3.

Mixing Beer And Booze
Creative Cocktails at Mediterranean Restaurant in Greenwich Village
Finding creative—if not tasty in the light of day—mixers for vodka have saved many a party. But even the most desperate college kid might not think to pour an IPA into a cup of Absolut. (For those who are wondering, it tastes just fine.)
At Melibea, a Mediterranean restaurant that opened last month in Greenwich Village, perhaps the most unorthodox cocktail is made with vodka, IPA beer, grapefruit liqueur and orujo, a Spanish liqueur...

I tried posting this elsewhere and got no response....maybe I posted it in the wrong thread....
A little background. We have a 16 yo, an almost 13 yo......and an almost 20 MONTH old. ds#2 was a total surprise. We were shocked. We weren't trying. But he has been a total blessing and as soon as we had him we decided we wanted another despite our ages. We are both 42 right now....I'm turning 43 next week. And that's part of the frustration. We've been trying for at least over a year now. We had a miscarriage back in the spring...before Mother's Day. :( I was only about 7 weeks. So weve been trying ever since. I've had bloodwork done.....nothing is amiss. My periods were very irregular though after the miscarriage so I've been seeking homeopathic help for about three months now and trying the blood type diet as that has been indicated to help with fertility. So now my periods are at least more regular now. Last month was actually a totally normal one, but I think I may be getting my period just a bit early this month. All the signs are here except the actual start so I know conception hasn't occurred again. And wouldn't you know it, according to FF.com we had tried every day that week EXCEPT the actual day of ovulation. :(. DH has NOT been tested. It's a male thing....... I sort of understand but it's very frustrating to me. He said he would but hasn't. I don't know how much longer to try. I don't want to be so overwhelmed with this that I miss out on enjoying what we have. Sometimes I think I let it overtake my life (at least my mood) and other times, I'm like whatever...if it happens great, but otherwise it's just not meant to be. I guess it's the age factor that bothers me the most. I know I really really want another baby. I know right now we are both very healthy parents.....but should we be doing this lingers in my mind. I don't know what I'm seeking from all of you.....advice, empathy, just someone to vent with? But I'll take whatever I can get. Well----off to try to accomplish something today and hopefully not dwell on another month without success.
Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.
I'm sorry that you didn't get any responses to your post before, I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry you're having trouble TTC again. At your ages, TTC can be a very long journey- usually counted in years, not months. But I think it's very promising that you did get pregnant last spring- that indicates that you are ovulating and that your hormones are probably good for the most part. I would assume it's most likely that there was an issue with the egg... it happens and happens more frequently the older we get.
You mentioned that you're charting... can you share your charts? Hitting every day except O still gives you a great chance- it's not over until AF arrives. FX for you!
Maybe join the 40+ TTC thread? You'll get lots of support there!
Mama to Avalon 1/07 , Austin 1/10 in between and Avery 12/11
Sending hugs to you, organicmom! I'm sorry TTC #4 has been a long journey so far. I hope you don't have much longer to wait - just keep up with the BDing during your fertile time then let whatever happens happens. Although I want to give my DS a sibling SOOO much, I still have to think of the option of that maybe it doesn't work out and I need to be happy with what I have. I am young, but I still have to think of that possibility if there's a fertility issue (I've already had 2 m/c and that scares me). I am sooooo blessed with DS and I have to remind myself that I may need to be content with my little family I have now and be happy. I guess what I'm trying to say is you are so blessed to have 3 children, and I really hope and pray you can have that 4th little one, but also try to think of your 3 beautiful blessings you have now and be content if things don't work out with having a 4th.
I hope that BFP is just around the corner for you though! Hugs.
Me (30), DH (33), DS1 (6), DS2 (2), and surprise DS3 born Dec 2014!
Will always remember our angel babies - Jan 2008 and Nov 2011

An Australian live export ship broke down en route to Jordan but is back on course after repairs, with the company saying the animals on board did not suffer adverse conditions.
The MV Ocean Drover, owned and operated by Fremantle-based Wellard, said on-board engineers fixed the main engine malfunction.
The 12-year-old vessel was stopped for 72 hours near the Cocos Islands while repairs and testing were carried out, the company said in a statement.
"Importantly, the provision of feed, water and ventilation to the 42,000 sheep and 6000 cattle on board the vessel were unaffected by the mechanical issues due to the redundancy provisions built into the ship to protect and enhance animal welfare," Wellard said.
The company said daytime temperatures as the vessel made its way to the Aqaba Gulf were averaging 27 degrees, "well below the 35-40 degrees the livestock experienced in their paddocks before being transferred to the vessel".
Wellard has notified both the Australian Maritime Safety Authority and the Department of Agriculture.
The company hit headlines in October 2012 when activists made death threats to staff after video footage emerged of its sheep being inhumanely slaughtered in Pakistan.

Shorebirds Break Camp Ready for 2010 Season
Orioles 1st Rounder Matt Hobgood Headlines New Crop
By Delmarva Shorebirds | April 5, 2010 11:35 AM ET
Salisbury, MD - In conjunction with the Baltimore Orioles, the Delmarva Shorebirds are excited to release the "Break Camp Roster" for the 2010 season. The 15th Anniversary edition of the Shorebirds will feature five players ranked among the "Top 30 Prospects" according to Baseball America. The roster also features seven players that suited up for the Shorebirds last season.
Headlining the pitching staff this season will be Orioles first round selection in 2009 (fifth overall) Matt Hobgood. The Norco, California native went 1-2 with a 4.73 ERA last season for the Bluefield Orioles. Baseball America has tabbed him as the fifth best prospect in the Orioles farm system.
The lone Shorebirds returning starter is southpaw Nathan Moreau. The former University of Georgia star went 5-3 with a 3.61 ERA for the Shorebirds in 20 starts a year ago.
The two other high profile pitchers are Jake Cowan and Ryan Berry. Cowan is the 23rd best prospect in the Orioles system, while Berry is the 24th best prospect in the chain according to Baseball America. Cowan was selected in the 10th round of the 2009 draft, while Berry was the Orioles ninth round pick last year. Berry played his college baseball for perennial powerhouse Rice. He went 7-2 with a 2.42 ERA in 11 starts for the Owls last season.
The rest of the pitching staff includes Jesse Beal, James Brandhorst, Bobby Bundy, Tony Butler, Josh Dowdy, Nick Haughian, Randy Henry, Ryan Palsha and Jake Smith.
Three catchers will patrol the plate this year. Michael Ohlman was the Orioles 11th round selection in 2009. Baseball America tabbed him as the 15th best prospect in the system. Justin Dalles was selected in the sixth round of the 2009 draft. The former South Carolina Gamecocks star was a Second Team All-SEC selection in 2009. The third catcher is Justin Stifler, who was signed as a non-drafted free agent in 2009 out of Towson University.
The lone returning position player this year is Tyler Kolodny. The Woodland Hills, California native hit .226 in 107 games for the 'Birds last season. He is expected to be the everyday first baseman this year.
The highest rated position player prospect is shortstop Garabez Rosa, who played in 11 games for the 'Birds last season. Rosa is the 27th best prospect in the Orioles system according to Baseball America. He hit .218 with six home runs and 25 RBIs in 64 games for the Aberdeen Ironbirds last year.
The rest of the infielders are Levi Carolus, Gary Helmick, Tyler Kelly, Mike Mooney and Tyler Stampone.
The Shorebirds outfield will be anchored by Steve Bumbry, son of former Orioles great Al Bumbry. The younger Bumbry was selected in the 12th round of last year's draft. He hit .234 for the Aberdeen Ironbirds.
The only returning outfielder is Brian Conley, who played in 29 games last season. The Gaithersburg, Maryland product and Towson University star spent time in Aberdeen, Delmarva and Bowie last year.
Mike Planeta and T.J. Baxter will also roam the Shorebirds outfield in 2010.
First year manager and former Shorebirds great Ryan Minor will guide the Shorebirds in 2010. The new pitching coach is Troy Mattes, who played for the Shorebirds in 1996. The new hitting coach is Mike Devereaux, who spent seven years as an outfielder for the Orioles.
The Shorebirds begin the 15th Anniversary season on the road on April 8th against the Greenville Drive. The team returns to Perdue Stadium for the home opener on April 16th at 7:05 p.m. against the Hagerstown Suns.

| USE LABELS FOR CLONED MEAT. I absolutely refuse to believe that the FDA would be so reckless as to allow cloned meat into our grocery stores without so much as labeling it. I do not accept your verbal or written assurances that this meat is "safe" for my family and absolutely require that *I* be allowed to be make the choice about what my family eats and what *I* deem safe. This should not even be an OPTION. Put on your label "no different from conventional food" if you like, but you MUST identify it for the consumer so that WE have a choice about what we consume. I implore the FDA to require labels identifying any and all cloned substance designed for human consumption. Thank you

Metal Gear has been a staple of gaming since its jump from 2D to 3D with Metal Gear Solid for the Playstation 1. The first game is one of the favourites of many and practically gave birth to the modern stealth games. Over the next thirteen years many more titles would be added to the series and sell millions of copies. Now though, three of these titles are being given the HD upgrade that fans have been screaming for since HD remakes were first introduced. Not only that but 2004 title Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater is also being released in 3D on the 3DS. All of the titles were available at Eurogamer Expo and we were there to try them all out.
The main meat at the show was the Metal Gear Solid HD Collection. The pack contains, in Europe and America, HD versions of Metal Gear Solid 2, Metal Gear Solid 3 and PSP title Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker. Going in release order, MGS2 is the oldest title but even the PS2 version still holds up today as being graphically fantastic, especially thanks to the water and rain effects on the Tanker. The HD version of it still looks good, but if you go into it expecting the same feelings of amazement when you first played it, you'll probably be disappointed.
The problem with MGS2, and other HD remasters, is that the game looks the same but with more pixels. PS2's and XBOX's graphics look bad today because of the fuzzy analogue signals and lack of higher resolution. MGS2 and other titles from the era are simply exactly the same, just re-rendered. There's been no additions or overhauls in terms of textures, everything is now just clear. This isn't a bad thing if you know that this is what you should be expecting.
The same can also be said for Peace Walker as it's the PSP game but blown up and re-rendered. Things look nicer in general, especially as the PSP version had a weird sort of dot layer on top of the image, but texture wise it's still the same.
The two games look great, but people shouldn't imagine that they've suddenly been turned into current gen standard games. Of course everything I've just said could just be an enormous fallacy, as then came MGS3.
There is only one way of describing the HD version of MGS3 and this is by saying this: Metal Gear Solid 3 HD might be the best looking PS3 and X360 game. The game is arguably the best looking game in the PS2 library and this has transferred to HD perfectly. The jungle environments still look deep and rich and the characters still look as rugged as ever. Whether this will transfer onto the more linear bits of the game later on is yet to be seen, but it's a perfect HD upgrade and is a game that needs to be replayed when the collection is out, even just to see the spectacle of it.
That's on the PS3 and X360 though. On the 3DS it's a horrible, unoptimised mess. Not in the graphics sense per se as the graphics look great, very comparable to Peace Walker, but the game suffers from immense FPS slowdown during cutscenes and with Metal Gear you get two things; Lots of cutscenes and lots of slowdown.
Loading times are also a big problem as you expect loading when going into the next area of the game, but a loading screen before a cutscene and before codecs is inexcusable. The screen also seems simply too small. I hadn't seen or played MGS3 HD yet, so it wasn't a subconscious feeling of needing to see more on the screen, it was just a big reduction in the POV.
The controls aren't fantastic, leading many people to give up and walk away whilst I was playing on a different unit. They probably won't be a problem to anyone who has played MGS games on the PSP, but that's no excuse for them being bad. MGS 3DS will support the 3DS second control stick add on though, which will make the controls better whilst simultaneously bulking up the console.
In regards to the 3D aspect it's certainly there, but it's nothing special. As I've said many times before, I cant see 3D properly but I've still played 3DS games at other Nintendo events and seen depth. Nothing really seemed to happen with MGS 3DS, even on the maximum setting. Metal Gear Solid 3 is a game that flows very well, but on the 3DS it just feels stodgy and awkward.
The home consoles have certainly got the upper hand with three fantastic games, the best on each respective original platform, in HD with full controls and achievements. The 3DS however has got the runt of the pack, something that certainly shouldn't be used as an introduction to the series. With both probably retailing for around the same price, it's easy to see which prospective Metal Gear fans should buy.
The Metal Gear Solid HD Collection is coming out later this year for the PS3 and X360. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D is due in February for the Nintendo 3DS

The Crossword was initially conceived as a single award for a work of fiction written in English by an Indian citizen. In 2000 it was expanded to include a prize for a work of fiction written in any Indian language and translated into English. Following a hiatus (2001–03), in 2004 the bookseller teamed with Hutchison Essar Limited (known as Hutch Essar), an Indian telecommunications company, and reintroduced the honour as the Hutch Crossword Book Award. From 2006 the award included an additional nonfiction prize and a popular award, voted on by the public. The award was known as the Vodafone Crossword Book Award from 2008, following the purchase of Hutchison Essar by English telecommunications giant Vodafone Group. A children's book award was added in 2010. The award 2011 prizes were awarded under the name The Economist Crossword Book Awards, which reflected a shift in sponsorship to the British magazine The Economist. The prizes honour books published during the calendar year prior to the announcement of the winners; the 2011 winners, for example, were announced in October 2012.
The awards included a monetary prize, and the winning books were promoted by Crossword. Each category was judged by a panel of writers and academics. Notable winners include Vikram Seth, Kiran Desai, and Salman Rushdie.
Winners of the Vodafone Crossword Book Award are listed in the table.

SAN CLEMENTE – Two young daughters of a Camp Pendleton Marine were in the back seat of an SUV on Tuesday when a sheriff's deputy fired, fatally wounding the 31-year-old man, officials said Thursday.
On Thursday morning, officials with the Orange County Sheriff's Department identified the man as Manuel Levi Loggins and began to release details regarding what led a deputy to shoot him after a traffic stop at San Clemente High School.
Sheriff's investigators work near a GMC SUV which has a school gate wedged underneath it. The man drove through a gate and into San Clemente High School parking lot early Tuesday and was injured in an officer-involved shooting and later died. By Wednesday afternoon, Camp Pendleton officials confirmed that the man who died in the officer-involved shooting was a Marine stationed at the base, but declined to give the man's name, rank or time of service.
Officials would not say how close the shooting occurred to the two girls, who they said were 9 and 14 years old, but said the shooting was near the vehicle.
Authorities said Loggins was walking back toward the GMC Yukon when the deputy feared for his life and fired. The two girls were not injured.
Sheriff's officials said Loggins was spotted speeding and crashing through a gate at the high school along Avenida Pico early Tuesday, prompting a deputy to contact the Marine.
Loggins got out of his SUV and ignored several commands from the deputy, said Jim Amormino, spokesman for the department.
As Loggins walked back to the vehicle, the deputy fired, Amormino said.
After the shooting, the deputy's patrol car could be seen parked a few feet behind Loggins' SUV.
Sheriff's officials would not say what made the deputy think his life was in danger or if Loggins had a weapon.
"That is part of the investigation," Amormino said.
A sheriff's blotter entry shows that deputies were called for a possible hit-and-run and child endangerment.
Officials from Camp Pendleton identified Loggins as a sergeant and native of Joliet, Ill.
Loggins enlisted in the Marines in October 1998 and was assigned as a transportation management specialist assigned to Headquarters and Support Battalion in Pendleton.
During his service, Loggins received a Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal, two Navy Unit Commendations, three Marine Corps Good Conduct Medals, the National Defense Service Medal, a Korean Defense Service Medal and the Global War on Terrorism Service Medal.
Sheriff's officials said the shooting occurred at about 4:40 a.m. Tuesday morning. The deputy was parked in the high school parking lot doing paperwork when he spotted the white SUV speeding, turning into the school parking lot and crashing through a gate.
Amormino said Loggins got out of the car and walked toward the field, ignoring the deputy's orders to stop.
"Loggins gets out of his car and is heading toward the field," Amormino said. "The deputy gives him a set of commands that (Loggins) disobeys."
Loggins walked back toward the car. At that point, Amormino said, something happened that made the deputy fear for his life. What that was, however, was not disclosed.

LOL GOP: 'if Reid tries to stop us from shutting down the Senate, we will shut down the Senate'
By Zandar November 26th, 2012
Peeking under the Senate hood and into the engine, there appears to be a large red obstruction blocking the thing from going anywhere, and its going to be a real pain to dislodge.
Heres what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is considering: banning filibusters used to prevent debate from even starting and House-Senate conference committees from ever meeting. He also may make filibusters become actual filibusters to force senators to carry out the nonstop, talkathon sessions.
Republicans are threatening even greater retaliation if Reid uses a move rarely used by Senate majorities: changing the chambers precedent by 51 votes, rather than the usual 67 votes it takes to overhaul the rules.
I think the backlash will be severe, Sen. Tom Coburn (R-Okla.), the conservative firebrand, said sternly. If you take away minority rights, which is what youre doing because youre an ineffective leader, youll destroy the place. And if you destroy the place, well do what we have to do to fight back.
It will shut down the Senate, the incoming Senate GOP whip, Texas Sen. John Cornyn, told POLITICO. Its such an abuse of power.
To recap, if Harry Reid tries to stop the GOP from shutting down the Senate, the GOP will shut down the Senate.

1. How many recess appointments did Obama make this year?
How many nominees are festering on the shelf, not knowing what their immediate future holds for them?
If they want to talk turkey, they better think long and hard.

5. What this comes down to , is public opinion.
The GOP is going to try to convince the public that the Democrats are engaging in an over reaching power grab. The Democrats need to push the idea that this is necessary to legislate the agenda that was decided in the election. I personally believe that , in the long run, we are better off without the filibuster.

and THEN just voted it in.. Too much "gab" and TV face time about this issue will kill it..

Long Beach State entertained some well-known alumni when they visited Arizona State last weekend, former Dirtbags Jered Weaver, Jason Vargas and Troy Tulowitzki taking a break from spring training camps with the Angels and Rockies to visit the 2013 team.
Alas, they were all out of eligibility. The Dirtbags scored just two runs in a three-game sweep at the hands of the Sun Devils, their seventh loss in their last eight games. They are 6-10 on the season.
After a few encouraging performances with the bats the first two weeks, the offense has fallen on hard times, having scored just 21 runs in their last 10 games. They've scored more than four runs just three times this season.
"What we started to do well earlier has been inconsistent of late," head coach Troy Buckley said Monday. "Arizona State had some quality arms and we had some better at-bats, but two runs in 27 innings speaks for itself."
The Dirtbags visit Loyola-Marymount today at 3 p.m. and host Wichita State for three at Blair Field this weekend.
Senior third baseman Juan Avila, one of the top returnees, will be out for at least two weeks after the finger he fractured slightly in the season-opening series at Vanderbilt began to hurt more this weekend. He is scheduled to see a specialist this week.
"The doctors say there's nothing they can do to it right now, it's just a matter of pain management," Buckley said. "He was a little better after Vanderbilt but whether it was swing the bat or just the pounding, it's been aggravated."
Shortstop Micheal Hill (.375), second baseman/center fielder Jeff McNeil (.279) and first baseman Jeff Yamaguchi (.292) have been consistent this season, but there are holes in the rest of the lineup. Ino Patron (.232), one of the most consistent hitters the last two seasons, is in a slump, and the Dirtbags are getting little production from two outfield spots and at catcher.
"There are three parts of the game and we're not giving ourselves a chance in two of them," he said, noting offense and defense.
Shane Carle will remain the Friday starter, but Jake Stassi has moved into the middle spot and freshman David Hill is expected to start Sunday.
Buckley wants to move Jon Maciel to the bullpen full-time. "It's where his career is headed," Buckley said. "We've been asking a lot of him by starting and also throwing in relief."
A look at the other 49er sports this week:
Men's Volleyball (14-4, 12-3 MPSF): The 49ers look to bounce back from a tough four-set loss to No. 2 UC Irvine Saturday when they host UCLA at the Pyramid Wednesday (7 p.m.). Alan Knipe's team then steps out of league play to host the Active Ankle tournament at the Pyramid this weekend, facing George Mason Friday and IPFW Saturday, both at 7p.m.
Women's water polo (16-2): Gavin Arroyo's team rides a 13-game winning streak into its home opener Tuesday against Bucknell at 7 p.m. The 49ers open Big West play Friday when they host Hawaii at 3 p.m.
Women's softball (14-9): The softball squad finally plays at home at the campus complex, hosting Buffalo for a doubleheader Wednesday at 1 p.m. It then hits the road again for the second San Diego Classis with five games in three days starting Friday.
Other sports: The women's tennis team, coming off two non-league wins, plays another match outside the Big West when it hosts Louisville Wednesday 2 p.m. The track and field squads will head to San Diego for the Aztec Invitational Saturday The men's golf team will send a squad to the National Invitational Tournament in Tucson Saturday and Sunday.

How do u rate Jeff Monsons Grappling game?
I know he's one of the best heavy weight grapplers in the world but how do grapplers view him?
A very clever grappler , uses good gameplans for example Monson vs Braulio at the 10k ground clash....
i agree..i think he's great..a very smart guy..
looks for the takedown, passes and holds the position well..
altho not evryone cuppa tea im sure..
Boring but he wins. I think he goes with the intention of shutting down his opponent before thinking about his own attacks... that has won him major titles though, so can't really be argued with.
Being exciting is not necessarily the best way to win!
Look at Rumina Sato; in his day he either won by a cool flying attack, or lost to a Brazilian who ground out a victory. (Like in that old Canadian Ju Jitsu Championship from around 1996) :cool:
In the 1970s several Australian Rugby League coaches went and spent a lot of time with the Green Bay Packers (NFL team). The main thing that they learned is the importance of not losing! So Australian teams focus on playing error-free football and controlling the ball - nowadays GB do well to win the odd match. :(
Back to jiu jitsu (which is not even really a spectator sport- is it?) not losing is undoubtedly the best way to win.
So, control the game, prevent any attacks and grind out a boring points victory; rather than charging in and going for some big, cool, exciting technique - which the fans love - but may, or may not, be successful.

Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) has two decades of experience in Engineering Procurement & Construction (EPC) projects execution, MEIL is a leading Infrastructure Developer in the fields of Irrigation, Water Management, Power (Generation/Transmission /Distribution), Industrial Utilities & Hydro Carbons, and manufacturer of MS Spiral pipes, Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) Pipes and Water Hammer Control devices.
As readers of Panchabuta might be aware, Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) has own a 50MW allocation under the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission in the solar thermal bidding.
Further, Mahagenco has set the target of erecting solar power project capable of generating 125MW of power in the state by 2012 and as a first step has announced the setting up of a up a 4MW solar power plant in Chandrapur where the existing 1MW plant is located. Hyderabad-based Megha Engineering and Infrastructure Ltd was one among the two companies that would construct the solar plant for Mahagenco.
SkyFuel manufactures the SkyTrough parabolic trough concentrating solar collector — a breakthrough in cost and constructability resulting from significant design and material innovations. SkyFuel is developing next-generation, high-temperature parabolic trough and linear Fresnel systems.
According to a release, SkyFuel has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) regarding the use of its parabolic trough collector in concentrating solar power (CSP) projects. MEIL's bid to build, own and operate a 50MW solar thermal power plant, through its wholly owned subsidiary MEIL Green Power Limited, in Andhra Pradesh, India was selected under Phase One of the Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM).
SkyTrough's design allows a high proportion of components to be provided by local fabricators, which allows Indian companies to expand manufacturing into the solar market. SkyFuel is working with partners in India to secure commitments for aluminum and steel fabrication.
"SkyFuel's ReflecTech polymer film and lightweight trough will enable easy adoption into the nascent Indian solar market. Increasing the local supply content will further enhance its appeal to CSP Plant developers in India," said MEIL's UM Reddy. Based in Hyderabad, MEIL has earned a sound reputation for building sophisticated infrastructure on the leading edge of India's modernization.
SkyFuel's parabolic trough is priced 20% lower than competing products, and independent evaluation of a 1 MW plant in California shows that it operates at the same efficiency as traditional, glass mirror based systems. The SkyTrough's ReflecTech silverized polymer reflectors have demonstrated a 25 year outdoor life in independent laboratory tests.
The agreement with MEIL comes shortly after SkyFuel's announcement that they are working with a developer in China for delivery of another 50 MW project. "Providing low cost and high performance systems has been our goal since the start of the SkyTrough design cycle," said SkyFuel's Kelly Beninga. "It is gratifying to see the market respond like this."
