"Nancy Drew" scribe Tiffany Paulsen is set to write the script of "Further Adventures in Babysitting" for Walt Disney Pictures.
Marking her next writing stint for film feature after her debut for "Nancy Drew", Tiffany Paulsen has reached an agreement to pen for "Further Adventures in Babysitting", which is currently in development under Walt Disney Pictures banner.
A remake of the 1987 flick "Adventures in Babysitting", the adventure comedy has already picked up Raven-Symone and Miley Cyrus as the stars with Lynda Obst producing. Meanwhile, story is likely to stay close to the original, which saw Elisabeth Shue as a suburban high school senior whose dull night of babysitting is interrupted by a desperate call from a friend, leading her to an all-night adventure.
Paulsen, repped by CAA, is also known as an actress and last appeared on the big screen in John Schlesinger's 2000 romantic comedy "The Next Best Thing." She recently sold one-hour TV show "Emerald City" to ABC Family while getting assigned to write "Fast Girls" for Fox Searchlight Pictures as well.

On the face of it, contemporary educational research is significantly different in order and kind from the period after WWII when the esteemed American education psychologist, Harold H. Abelson (1948) [
While, more than 60 years on, Abelson's faith in educational research's contribution to the "march toward democracy" may quite understandably elicit skepticism, it is my hope that the inauguration of this new journal,
A democracy is more than a form of government; it is primarily a mode of associated living of conjoint communicated experience. The extension into space of the number of individuals who participate in an interest so that each has to refer his own action to that of others, and to consider the action of others to give point and direction to his own is equivalent to the breaking down of those barriers of class, race, and national territory which kept men from perceiving the full import of their activity. [
Abelson wrote, "Education is a crucial weapon in the struggle towards democracy", but also wisely advised that not just any kind of education and not just any kind of educational research was required. Wary of research that is the "servant' of some 'predetermined program, our journal also seeks to publish research that reflects genuine inquiry willing to question unexamined education practices and thinking. Like Abelson,
In 1948, Abelson was unlikely to predict some of the internal methodological debates that have shaped educational research in the intervening years. And he would likely be surprised by recent statist interest and control in the legitimacy and quality of education research. Abelson understood that education intrinsically normative "connected to notions of human excellence, of the kind of society we want to build, of the forms of human engagement and activity…" [
Since Abelson's essay, professional outlets for educational research have mushroomed and begs the question, why yet another education journal? Australia, as do an increasing number of countries, has a national system of assessing the quality of university research. The benchmarking of scholarly output may have the effect of narrowing the form and focus of the production of new knowledge. Characterized as part of a broader set of moves toward accountability in the public sector, these measures may run counter to "a serious research culture (that) should include and nurture a wide range of activity, from bluesky and fundamental, so-called 'pure' research; to activity focused on particular more accessible parts of the big agenda, or activity that is trying to solve a problem in the field as commissioned by someone else" [
Harold Abelson understood that educational research is not a neutral technical exercise. 'It is invariably a deeply ethical, political and cultural one bound up with ideas about the good society and how life can be worthwhile' [

But the mining giant has yet to release the revised environmental impact statement for the project which would kick off the formal assessment by the South Australia, Northern Territory and federal governments.
BHP is still sticking by its expectation that a final ruling on the project should be forthcoming from the governments in the second half, but the various authorities are still scrutinising the huge document before the governments go back to the company with any further requests for information.
"We are now awaiting permission from the Commonwealth to publish the Supplementary Environmental Impact Statement, which will allow formal assessment of the project by the respective governments," BHP Billiton uranium president Dean Dalla Valle said in a statement on Wednesday.

12 Valentine's Day Gifts For Your Ex
Just because you broke up doesn't mean you still don't have feelings for you ex … mostly feelings of hostility. Why not express your unresolved rage over the breakup with a passive-agressive Valentine's Day gift? After the jump, some adorable present ideas that your jerk of an ex will surely enjoy. That motherf**ker. 1. A ring shaped like a gun. You're not going to give her an engagement ring, that's clear at this point. How about this blinding little token of your affection?
2. That box full of the crap that your ex left at your place. It's been sitting in the garage for months. Why not send them a care package? C.O.D. of course.
3. A handmade voodoo doll. Hit your ex where it hurts and stick a pin through the groin before you send.
4. Sign him up a listserv he would certainly enjoy. Wouldn't your former beloved be dying to be kept abreast of all the happenings at the local Renaissance Fair? Make their dreams come true by signing them up for the listserv. Unless they actually dig the Ren Fair, then anything that will clog their inbox.
5. A customized T-shirt. Your ex will look hot wearing one that read, "It Wasn't You, It Was Me."
6. A flaming bag of poo. Classic, simple, and to the point.
7. Personalized candy. Now that you can customize M&Ms, you may want to send your ex a special batch with a message like "GFY!"
8. A framed photo of you and your new boo. Happy Valentine's Day, I'm happier now! With love, Your Angry Ex.
9. An impaled pig's heart. Your former lover will feel like crap for ripping your heart out of your chest. Make a spectacle by having it delivered special to his or her desk at work.
10. A visit from the IRS. Give the IRS a ring and rat your former love out for their less-than-legal tax practices.
11. A magazine subscription. It may be fun to sign your ex up for a subscription to Cat Fancy magazine, or some other magazine he or she has expressed EXTREME interest in (read as extreme disinterest).
12. Therapy. A gift certificate for therapy sessions will be just what your ex-paramour needs to get over their deep-seated commitment issues. Happy head shrinking, dick!

2012 BMW 750Li Reviews and Owner Comments
2012 BMW 750Li owners review and rate their 2012 BMW 750Li.
Login to Review This Car
2012 BMW 750Li (2 Reviews)
750 Li BMW these 2012 do use some oil due to turbo chargers which is infact a super charger ran off the exhaust . Some people cannot understand that turbo superchager . Ram air .2012 i have will take an extra quart of oil every 10,000 miles
Our 2012 BMW 750LI has been burning about one quart of oil every 5000 miles. We are currently at 12250+/- and the oil indicator shows that we are losing oil. BMW says its normal for this car to burn oil,but our 2006 750li never did this. Every mechanic I speak to about this says it should not do it. Who am I to believe?

Q I found this hippo (3 inches tall and 5 inches long) at a garage sale years ago and have always been curious as to its origin and value. The bottom is marked "Made in Italy."
A What a charming little planter. Italy has a history of producing fine porcelain extending back to the Medicis in the 16th century. Italy still produces fine tiles, decorative elements and tableware in porcelain today.
The late 1890s saw the McKinley Tariff Act requiring that goods made outside of the United States and imported into this country be labeled with the country of origin. We know, then, that your hippo was made after 1898.
The tariff act was revisited and reworded after World War I; by 1920, items imported into the United States had to be labeled with the country of origin using only English terms and characters. Therefore, we now know that your hippo was made post-1920.
Italy has a long history of scientific inquiry and preservation. In Florence, the Museum of Zoology and Natural History contains a taxidermied hippopotamus that is said to have roamed in the Boboli Gardens as a pet of the De Medici family.
I cannot say for certain what it is you have; what I do know is that you have a delightful hippo-shaped planter made in Italy in the 20th century. If you paid less than $10 for it, you got a good deal.
Q I have two small ornaments that belonged to my uncle for as long as I can remember. Uncle George died in 2003; he was about 83.
These little horses survived South London during World War II (as did the rest of us), and a number of moves after that. By the time my uncle died, I had moved to the United States. The horses were mailed to me in a large box with other memorabilia
It isn't really a question of value, but I hope you may have some information as to their history. The small, dapple-gray horse is so beautiful. It is 3 inches long by 2½ inches high, really small. The surface has a matte finish. It is hollow inside, but not thin, with no identifying marks.
The ornament is a little bigger, with a shiny surface, and was given by my grandmother to her son, Uncle George, when he was very young. He did become an artist.
Both are secured to the mantelpiece with museum putty, so they should continue to be safe.
A I'm a pushover for a sweetly written story, but I was at a loss about the origins of these horse figures. Luckily, in the Bay Area we have no shortage of people passionate and knowledgeable about ceramics.
I forwarded your letter and photographs to Colin and Patricia Knight, founders of the San Francisco Ceramics Circle, a support affiliate to Fine Arts Museum of San Francisco. The Ceramics Circle, now in its fifth decade, promotes the study and enjoyment of ceramics by hosting curators and collectors to give lectures and seminars. It is one of the oldest and most respected ceramics organizations in the United States.
Colin and Pat examined the photographs and came to the following conclusions:
Pat thinks they are probably individual pieces rather than production. We are not aware of anything similar from factories.
The white horse is much more accomplished and is reminiscent of Staffordshire figures in the way the body is supported. The thick white glaze on a red body is unusual, and the fact that it does not cover the entire figure makes us think it is an artist piece.
About 1936, Charlotte Rhead developed a thick slightly matte finish called "snow glaze," which caused quite a stir in the potteries and may have been imitated by others.
The small horse looks like someone having fun with some leftover clay. The flat base is reminiscent of Yorkshire or perhaps Chinese. It is quite primitive, so it is hard to tell from the photo if it is early or perhaps something that has been worked in a primitive style. It could also be the work of a child with pottery connections.
Perhaps your grandmother saw early artistic promise in Uncle George, and the gift of this horse inspired his later artistic endeavors. The story, and the figures, are priceless.
For information about the San Francisco Ceramic Circle go to www.patricianantiques.com.
Q I am inquiring as to the value of a Shoji Hamada 9-inch diameter, ceramic plate with signed box, circa 1950.
In 1956, when my father was stationed in Kobe, Japan, my mother became friends with a Japanese woman who wanted to practice her English. In 1958, my father was transferred to Tokyo, and my mother's friend gave her this plate as a going away present.
A Shoji Hamada (Japan, 1894-1978) was a hugely influential craftsman and is considered a seminal element in the Japanese crafts revival of the 1950s and 1960s.
Hamada studied ceramics at Tokyo Technical College, graduating in 1916. He then spent several years traveling and studying traditional Japanese ceramic and glazing techniques with master craftsmen and potters. In 1920, he met British potter Bernard Leach, who was also studying Japanese ceramics. The two moved to Cornwall, England, where Hamada worked for three years.
After his return to Japan, Hamada continued to integrate Japanese pottery and glazing techniques with the arts and crafts revival philosophy he learned in England. Like many of his fellow craftsmen, Hamada did not sign his work. He believed that his technique, glazing and decoration should speak for themselves.
Hamada's work was so valued in Japan that in 1955 his government named him a "Living National Treasure." Those individuals or groups so designated preserve important intangible cultural properties, including music, dance, theater, ceramics and metalworking.
In 1962, he was appointed the second director of the Japanese Fold Craft Museum. Hamada continued to teach, travel the world and demonstrate ceramic techniques throughout his lifetime.
Your lovely plate, with its temmoku iron glaze and drip decoration, together with its signed box and provenance, would have a pre-auction estimate of $1,000-$1,500.
Jane Alexiadis is an appraiser with Michaan's Auctions. Send your questions, any history, a brief description and measurements to email@example.com. Please send no more than three photos.

Sizing Information:
13" Length x 7" Width x 2" Depth
No more crazy noise! My dog loves the Hear Doggy toys and we love them too since we can finally hear an entire TV show :)
This toy does not make noise that a human can hear, which seems like a good idea, but our dog seems to prefer the squeaking toys.
Very cute toy. I bought 2 for Easter gifts. I can't wait to give them to my 2 favorite dogs.
This was an Easter Gift for my grandpup. Needed a bunny of sort and this fit the bill as something a bit different. She seems to enjoy biting on his squeakers as much as any of the other plush toys. It has such pretty white soft fur.

Hot Bollywood lass, who is known for her independent spirit as well as for her acting prowess might experience a rough weather as far as her personal life is concerned. Though the renowned astrologer did not mention exactly what the problem might be, it seems like Priyanka 'MIGHT' face some personal and emotional problems in the year to come.
Priyanka Chopra has always made headlines, apart from her professional life. Not long ago, the young actress was linked up with mega star Shahrukh Khan. It was even speculated that SRK's wife Gauri Khan is not too happy with the link-up and deliberately avoids and isolates Priyanka. Piggy Chops, as she is fondly known was also linked to Shahid Kapoor and even Akshay Kumar in the past.
Recently, rumours have also been floating around saying that Priyanka Chopra, who was looking out for a sea-facing apartment has found a new home at Akshay Kumar's building in Juhu, Prime Beach. Hmm...interesting!
Also Read: Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Deepika Padukone To Rule Box Office in 2014?
Anyways, coming to Bejan Daruwala's predictions, the astrologer had even predicted that Hrithik Roshan will marry in 2015. He has also said that Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor and Salman Khan will rule Bollywood in 2014.
Let's see what the future has in store for our very own 'Priyanka Chopra' and wish her good luck.

About Me
I've enjoyed and been fascinated with photography for years. The concept of "capturing" an image, which conveys an emotion or a story is awesome. It was a hobby until 5 years ago when I decided to take the next step and treat it as a business.
You may have heard the saying.
"If you do something you love, you will never have to work a day in your life". [Something like that]
So that's my goal, to do what I love and have a passion for.
I see myself as a developing photographer, I don't like to think that "I've arrived". There is always more to learn and I enjoy learning.
I respect the feelings of every model and have received positive comments from models I've worked with.
My goal is to "discover" the model; I enjoy letting them express themselves. It's very satisfying helping them develop their portfolio. I feel my job is to "Capture their Beauty".
Have you worked with photo? Add Credits for photo! >>

To the many models that I have been fortunate to work with, and to those with whom I will, let's work together and Capture More of Your Beauty.

Medi: Microns and Copic markers
Medi: Microns and Copic markers
Beautiful. Congratz!

still adorable
preety! love her hair here!
Great color choices.
Kinda flirtatious isn't it?
you made her look so elegant and pretty. I love chun li and this pic.
i dont know why but she looks like a human eleking
AAaaannnd my OTHER sister...
Great work.^^
You have a nice anime style, but maybe with a bit more realistic proportions and perspective. I can't draw worth spit, but if I could, I'd certainly like to be l to make pictures like yours. I love the way you draw, my dear!
better than the original
What surprises me most is the fan design. Its superb!
oh heeeeey
This is the best Chun Lee which I ever seen!
This is really cute! And the colors actually make this even better, in my opinion. I like your work. ^^ Keep it up!
Oh! very cute!
she has my body o.o
Excellent representation of Chun-li. She looks cute yet also sexy. Hard combo to pull off (no pun intended)
Oooooo, that's a really wicked design on that dress Chun-Li is sporting, not to mention she look so darn cute in it.
Oh, this is really pretty. I love that fan!
Cute! I like the outfit and her facial expression and the fan looks really cool as well!
So cute! *_*
Looks great! I love how stylish her outfit is. Awesome work as usual!
She just looks ridiculously adorable with that expression. I love the dress and the fan too.
So beautiful
Really cute Chun Li pic. Thank you for allowing your picture to be in the group.
Instant fave. Pure class, no doubt.
Wow I reall like this outfit of hers! Very nice! More beautiful than her original one!
I like the pose.
I like the artwork.
I like the dress.
I like the fan.
And I like Chun-Li.
I like the artwork.
I like the dress.
I like the fan.
And I like Chun-Li.
Very pretty.
Great one! I love it!
very interesting design choice. It seems a little fashion snobbish of me to say this, but it just seems like she's wearing converses for her choice of shoe, the boot style. which makes it a little more relaxing as an outfit, otherwise those spiked pumps that the ladies are so fond of these days seem like her style of shoe for this one. either way it seems like she's clubbing. your pieces do seem to have a way of filling in blanks when you look at them. wonderful piece indeed.
So very sexy this is.
She looks really pretty!
Love the bracelet design on the dress.
very nice
So cute!
the hair it's amazing!
she looks good in anything

Statement of Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid Regarding the Passage of the Short Term Extension of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Program
"Yesterday, the Senate passed the House extension to the TANF program. H.R. 3021 provides a 3-month extension for the existing TANF program, ensuring that our nation's most vulnerable populations will have access to uninterrupted social services.
"Passage of the 10th short term extension was necessary because Senate Republicans have been unwilling to bring to the Senate floor a new authorization bill that passed the Senate Finance Committee by a voice vote, one opposing more than three months ago.
"I strongly hope that Senate Republicans resolve their differences and permit the committee-passed bill to come to the Senate floor. If Republicans cannot agree to let the Senate take up the committee-passed bill, Senate Democrats are committed to ensuring that we take up some version of this bill so that the latest temporary extension will be the last. I stand ready to work with Senator Frist and the leaders on the Finance Committee to achieve that goal.

Aerosmith, with its 32 music videos, was a natural choice for the honour, said Brian Graden, MTV's president for programming.
"They were one of the first to play in other genres. They embraced the infusion of rap and rock and they have continued to work with other artists," he said. "They really have become generational icons."
Guitarist Joe Perry shrugged off the icon status.
"You stick around long enough and you get noticed," he joked. "It's fun. It's another adventure for us. That's why we're doing it."
He and Tyler formed Aerosmith in 1970. They became the US answer to British invasion bands like the Rolling Stones and The Who, with hits like Dream On.
But along with success came alcohol, drugs and infighting that caused the band to split.
A sobered-up band reunited in the mid-1980s. They teamed with rappers Run-DMC for a remix of Aerosmith's signature song Walk This Way. The success continued in the '90s. They won Grammys and hit the top of the singles charts for the first time with I Don't Want to Miss a Thing (the love theme for the movie Armageddon).
In preparation for mtvICON, which included Aerosmith interviews, the band members admitted to reflecting on their careers.
Tyler said one night recently before he went to bed he compiled a list of the band's ups and downs.
"Aerosmith has been eaten, beaten, cheated, ignored. We've been loved, hated, censored, quoted, banned, scanned, honoured, offered, rewarded and reported. We've been seen, heard, read, near dead. So where do we see Aerosmith going?" he read from the list.
The answer, he said: "Wherever the road doesn't take us, that's where we'll be."
After three decades, Perry said he has come to recognise that his association with the band is "about the journey and getting the most out of it."
"As long as I still get goose bumps playing and watching Steven hit those high notes, I know I'm doing OK," he said.
For bassist Tom Hamilton, the show has brought the band full circle from its beginnings.
"All these things that were supposed to replace us have come and gone - disco, punk, new wave. It's all gone and we're still lingering," he said.
It's that staying power that has the attention of many performing in the show.
"If there's anybody to look up to for that, it's them. They are one of the only rock bands left from the 70s," said Papa Roach guitarist Jerry Horton. "They are still doing it and doing it well. ... We definitely are going for that kind of longevity in our careers."
Shakira said she admired not only the band's longevity but its generational fan base.
"So many people - children, older people - know who they are," she said.
Horton, whose band performed Sweet Emotion during the tribute, admitted to a few nerves prior to taking the stage before Aerosmith.
"I don't normally get nervous. But it's one thing to cover a song from a band, it's another to cover it while they are listening to it," he said.

Sara Evans Doesn't Let Her Little Ladies Be Slobs
Sara Evans prides herself on being a neat and tidy lady. She keeps her house spic and span, but it can be hard keeping a house clean when you're the only one who picks up after yourself.
Evans has quite the family, too — she is married to Jay Barker, an ex-University of Alabama quarterback, and they have blended their respective families into a household with seven children! That alone is daunting, but Evans insists her daughters are the worst mess-makers.
"I guess my girls are pretty bad about that," Evans tells to ABC News Radio. "My girls are pretty slobby."
Girls will be girls, but Evans tries her best to remind them to pick up their clothes and keep their rooms tidy.
"I'm on them constantly to keep their room clean," she furthers. "I'm like, 'You're a young woman. I'm not going to let you be just a slob just with clothes everywhere.'"
Does her hubby at least try to help keep the house clean? Evans doesn't quite say, but does call the National Championship winner and current radio host out for being a little forgetful.
"Well, Jay, he's a typical guy in the sense that he will leave, and then pretty much every time he leaves, he has to come back and grab something," the country star shares.
When Evans isn't busy being a mom and reminding her girls to pick up their clothes, she's promoting her upcoming album 'Slow Me Down,' which is due out March 11.

The stunner
Well, that was a bracing start to the T20 World Cup for the Australians. The West Indies v Australia game might have been a wake-up call to the most arrogantly-inclined type of Australian cricket fan that the national team (or teams) aren't the master of all formats they survey. Or maybe final confirmation – if that were needed – that a very specialist type of cricket has, in the world champion West Indies, bred an international specialist team. Sort of like the Monster creating a Frankenstein, instead of the more conventional type of arrangement.
The snoozer
There was some media discussion of further and ever more detailed revelations from his chequered past by former football manager guy, Ricky Nixon. Arguably there is unidentifiable waste matter intermittently found at the bottom of the vegetable crisper in the average household fridge that is both more welcome and more inherently interesting than any further revelations concerning Ricky Nixon.
The yak attack
James Hird has been given the word and is job-safe and presumably family-member-silent again. Hallelujah and pass the beer nuts.
How far the cherry?
The most unforgettable piece of writing that appeared in a sport section this week turned up in Some Unidentified Newspaper, and went as follows:
"When Supertramp wrote the hit song, It's Raining Again, it's unlikely that they had the Sydney autumn racing carnival in mind, but they should have."
Of course they should have. Isn't that what all of us have in mind whenever we hear It's Raining Again by Supertramp? (Note – all those under the age of 50 are released from the obligation of answering this question.) Some readers may be anxious to be given context on the featured statement. However, when they think about it, they will presumably realise there is no context that could possibly help. In the interests of even-handedness, the co-feature this week occurred in The Age – a breakdown of the groupings for soccer's 2015 Asian Cup which featured the Korean Republic in Group A and South Korea in Group B. Hmm, those would be the same Korea. This never happens when you use the directions. In the accompanying text by Michael Lynch, the Group B hopefuls were correctly identified as North Korea.
Bozo of the week
By common acknowledgement it had nothing to do with the 6-0 scoreline in favour of Chelsea, but referee Andre Marriner earned his spot by sending off Arsenal's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain after Keiran Gibbs handled the ball on the goal line. Even a momentary brain fade of that magnitude might be forgiven, but in the face of Oxlade-Chamberlain actually indicating to the official "It was me!" and being ignored, Ref Marriner has to go into the book.

Shortly after Halloween kids will get an incentive to give up their sweet tooth for cold, hard cash.
Several Ahwatukee Foothills dentists are participating in programs that allow kids to make money by selling their pre-wrapped candy back to their offices. The candy will then be sent to men and women in the military serving overseas.
On Nov. 2 Rapacz Dental will host "Operation Buy Back." From 2 to 6 p.m. the Ahwatukee-based office will pay kids $1 per pound of donated candy up to $5. In addition, people will be able to sign cards for the soldiers.
"It's really great to see because a lot of the military people don't get any type of goodies either for Halloween or for Christmas," said Shelley Miller Rapacz, office manager at Rapacz Dental. "It's just another way of saying 'thank you' to (the troops)."
The dentist's office is also giving away goody bags for the kids, as well as raffle prizes for adults, Rapacz said. The goody bags will include items like toothbrushes and toothpaste.
"Everything's kind of healthy," she added.
Kids and parents who can't make it to the event are free to donate candy at Rapacz's office any time until Nov. 4. The dentist said the program doesn't just help the troops; it also benefits the community by getting teeth-decaying candy out of kids' hands while also improving their self esteem.
"We want kids to feel good about giving their candy away," Rapacz said.
Design by Dental, another office operating in Ahwatukee Foothills, is offering a similar program, called "Cash for Candy." The program was conceived by Dr. Rahul Kode, a cosmetic dentist working in the office, who said he wanted to do something good for the troops.
"It's going to be great," Kode said. "We just hope that it grows."
He said that his office will also give children $1 for every pound of candy they bring in. The program will continue for about two weeks after Halloween, he said. No official deadline for donations has been set.
Cash for Candy is currently independent of other organizations, such as Operation Buy Back, but may team up with them in the future, Kode said. At the moment, Dental by Design plans to ship the candy overseas themselves.
Neither program requires appointments. Children can just come in with their parents to sell their candy.
Rapacz and Kode both said they plan to host a similar event again next year.
"It's a win-win situation for everyone," Rapacz said.

Dental by Design is located at 4855 E. Warner Road. For more information on that program, call (480) 753-9063.
No official deadline has been set for the Cash for Candy Program at Rapacz Dental, 3646 E. Ray Road. For more information on that program, call (480) 759-4501.

Delhi: Auto drivers ask police to 'go soft'
The Delhi Auto-rickshaw Sangh took out a protest rally on Monday, demanding the police to go soft on violations by auto drivers. HT reports.delhi Updated: Feb 18, 2013 23:27 IST
The Delhi Auto-rickshaw Sangh took out a protest rally on Monday, demanding the police to go soft on violations by auto drivers.
They later submitted a charter of demands to special commissioner of police (traffic) Sudhir Yadav.
The demands included lighter punishment for norm violations, increase in auto fare and a fresh survey on the distance of localities for fixing fare charts for prepaid auto/taxi booths among others.
"For any violations such as refusal and overcharging, the traffic police issue us court challans and also impound our vehicles for 15 days.
"We have demanded that traffic police should not impound our vehicles as court imposes huge penalty on us, which is enough deterrent," said Rajender Soni, a spokesperson for the Sangh.
He also said that auto-rickshaw drivers should be allowed to go home in the evening after eight hours of duty and refusal during such time should not be considered a violation.
The Sangh has also demanded immediate revision in auto fare structure or subsidy for CNG.
"The last fare revision took place in 2010 but since then CNG prices have gone up several times," Soni said.
"The special commissioner (traffic) assured us that he would discuss our charter of demands with his officers. If our demands are not met, we will observe a token strike for two days on Sunday and Monday. If this also does not yield any results, we will go off roads everyday from 4pm, starting March 1," he said.
Special Commissioner Yadav, however, was not available for comment.

Cholera toxin (CT), an AB5-subunit toxin, enters host cells by binding the ganglioside GM1 at the plasma membrane (PM) and travels retrograde through the
Cholera toxin (CT) is the causative agent for the massive secretory diarrhea seen in Asiatic cholera. CT is secreted by the gram-negative bacterium
Current model for CT cell entry and intoxication. CT,
CT belongs to the larger family of AB toxins [
The 27 kDa A-subunit of CT is comprised of an A2- and enzymatically active A1-chain, which is linked non-covalently to the B-subunit
Three-dimensional structure of CT [
Following retro-translocation, the A1-chain enters the cytosol as an active ADP-ribosyltransferase that modifies the heterotrimeric G protein, Gsα. Modification of this G protein leads to the constitutive activation of adenylate cyclase and the rapid production of cAMP. In intestinal cells, this induces intestinal chloride secretion, which is accompanied by a massive movement of water and the diarrhea that is the hallmark of cholera.
Cholera toxin begins its intracellular journey by binding to the ganglioside GM1 located on the outer leaflet of apical membranes of intestinal epithelial cells. GM1 is the vehicle that transports the toxin all the way backwards in the secretory pathway from PM to ER. When clustered by binding to the B-subunit, GM1 shows preferential association with membrane microdomains, termed "lipid rafts," composed of gangliosides, cholesterol, GPI-anchored proteins and sphingomyelin (
Retrograde Trafficking from the PM to the ER. CT binds to the ganglioside GM1 (blue) found in membrane microdomains (lipid rafts-green) on the plasma membrane of host cells, and can cluster five GM1 molecules at once. The toxin enters the cell by various endocytic mechanisms, including clathrin and caveolin-dependent, as well as caveolin and dynamin-independent mechanisms, and traffics to early and recycling endosomes [
The heterogeneous lipid composition of the PM has been shown to be important for CT function. In cells depleted of membrane cholesterol or sphingomyelin, downstream trafficking to the Golgi is inhibited and toxicity is attenuated [
Toxin endocytosis en route to early endosomes from the PM can occur by various mechanisms [
Early endosome to Golgi transport for CT is not completely understood, but the toxins, in general, are thought to move from early endosomes to TGN, independent of the late endosome pathway [
From the TGN, cholera toxin is transported to the ER
Proteolytic cleavage of the loop connecting the A1- and A2-chains of CT occurs following secretion from
Many groups speculated that CT, like other ERAD substrates [
We presume the PDI-A1-chain complex is released to the ER lumen when dissociated from the B-subunit. In yeast, misfolded ER lumenal proteins are processed for retro-translocation by a core multi-protein complex containing the Derlin-1 homologue Der1 and the ubiquitin E3 ligase Hrd1 (the ERAD-L pathway) [
Recently, Dixit
The model emerging from these studies proposes that the CT-GM1 complex first interacts with Derlin-1 on the lumenal side of the ER membrane [
Endogenous ERAD substrates exit the ER and enter the cytosol for ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. CT [
In a few cases, proteins not conjugated to ubiquitin are degraded by the proteasome [
The lack of dependence on p97 [
A summary for how retro-translocation might progress is shown (
Schematic of CT retro-translocation. It is still unclear exactly how retro-translocation proceeds. This figure shows the candidate proteins thought to be involved. Following entry into the ER, CT remains bound to GM1 and can interact with Derlin-1 [
CT binds the ganglioside GM1 and co-opts a lipid-based sorting pathway to traffic retrograde from the PM into the ER where a portion of the toxin, the A1-chain, retro-translocates to the cytosol. Unlike most retro-translocation substrates, the A1-chain escapes degradation by the proteasome and refolds in the cytosol to induce disease. The mechanisms and host proteins involved (

(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is part 8 of 10 in a series on rivalries. Red Wings 101 will count down the top ten current rivals of the Detroit Red Wings. Fans are encouraged to comment with memories from past games that they may have seen in the past.)
This next rivalry is the newest on the list. It is also probably built on mutual respect than any other team on the list. Checking in at number 3:
No. 3: Nashville Predators
Since the Predators came into the NHL in 1999, head coach Barry Trotz has always looked up to the Red Wings as the standard to follow in the NHL. Nashville has often been considered the "little brother" of the Red Wings (not from a Mike Hart standpoint for any Michigan football fans reading this). Despite the respect that exists, there have been rising tensions between the two teams.
They have met three times in the playoffs, with the Red Wings winning in the first round in 2004 in six games, courtesy of a Game 6 shutout from Curtis Joseph.
They met again in 2008, and with the series deadlocked at two games a piece, Mike Babcock elected to start Chris Osgood in net for Game 5 after two subpar performances from Dominik Hasek. The game remained tied after 60 minutes thanks to a goaltending duel between Osgood and Nashville's Dan Ellis. In overtime, it was Johan Franzen beating Ellis on a breakaway goal for the win. The Red Wings would go on to win the series in Game 6, once again courtesy of a Game 6 shutout; this time from Osgood.
DEFINING MOMENT: The defining moment came in the 2012 playoffs when both teams met again. This time it was the Predators who had the upper hand heading into the series. In Game 1, with the Predators clinging to a 3-2 lead, Paul Gaustad won the final faceoff from Henrik Zetterberg. The puck went to Shea Weber, who simply held it against the boards. Zetterberg came over to free the puck, but Weber grabbed him and slammed his head into the glass.
Zetterberg was not injured as a result of the act. Red Wings' fans screamed for Weber to be suspended, but he was only fined $2500. Todd Bertuzzi would take the law into his own hands in Game 2, which the Red Wings won. Nashville would go on to win the next three games to win the series. It was also after Game 5 where Trotz walked up to Nick Lidstrom in the handshake line and asked him to not retire, and the rest is history.
Honorable mention goes to Bertuzzi fighting Shane O'Brien not once, but twice in the same game in 2011. Both players were ejected as a result.
No. 10: Montreal Canadiens
No. 9: Toronto Maple Leafs
No. 8: Vancouver Canucks
No. 7: Anaheim Ducks
No. 6: St. Louis Blues
No. 5: Pittsburgh Penguins
No. 4: San Jose SharksTags: Chris Osgood, Detroit, Detroit Red Wings, Dominik Hasek, Hockey, Johan Franzen, NHL, Nick Lidstrom, Todd Bertuzzi

Since 1995, Freddy Krueger has been "terrorizing" the professional water ski circuit with his amazing performances. Coming from a family of water ski enthusiasts, Freddy has been involved in the sport since childhood. He managed to secure a water skiing scholarship to Louisiana State University, and from there went on the pros.
Freddy has been the Masters Water Ski Tournament Jump Champion 10 times, The International Waterski & Wakeboard Federation World Cup Jump Champion 4 times, the Water Ski National Championships Men's Jumping Champion 6 times, has won or placed in numerous other championships, and currently holds the world record for the longest waterski jump at 247 feet. He even met his wife, Karen Truelove Krueger, a professional water-skier herself, through the sport.
While winning championships is exciting, Freddy's favorite aspect of water skiing is how much of a social activity it is. "For those families that truly want to be engaged with their kids, you can't do better than waterskiing," he says. From grandparents to children, waterskiing is an activity that everyone can enjoy.
"The excitement I felt teaching my 10-year-old nephew how to jump was equal to any tournament I've ever won."
It's not just families that waterskiing brings together. During his first world championship tournament in 1997, Freddy's skis broke on a jump. One of the other competitors, Bruce Neville, lent Freddy his skis to continue to compete, and while Freddy didn't win that tournament, this would set the tone of his professional career. As Freddy put it, when it comes to his fellow water skiers, "You lift them up, you don't tear them down."
Freddy's Favorite Places to Water Ski
Freddy loves to waterski near his home in Winter Garden, Fla. He also recommends Sanford, N.C., and for a great family outing, Freddy says Bennett's Water Ski and Wakeboard School in Zachary, La. can't be beat.
Freddy's Tips for Beginners to Water Skiing
If you want to get started in waterskiing, the first thing you should do is reach out to someone more experienced you can learn from. If you don't know an experienced waterskier and want to find one, usawaterski.org is a good place to start. There are also a number of good articles there by Freddy and other pros to help you avoid "just getting drug around and drinking lake water" as he puts it.
While there may be temptation to waterski around other people to show off a bit, Freddy recommends finding a clear area. The fewer boats and people around the better, as other boats can make the water choppy, and there is always the chance of hitting another boat or person, especially with an inexperienced driver.
Make sure your skis are fitted to you, and you are wearing a Coast Guard approved life vest that fits properly as well. A boat that is designed to pull a water skier will improve your experience, but as you can expect, they don't come cheap. People are often willing to share boats. Freddy said that his family shared a boat with a number of other families as he was growing up.
One of the most important aspects of waterskiing is staying abreast of the weather. According to Freddy, getting pelted with rain at 60 mph feels like getting hit with needles, and you should never go out on the water when there is lightning.
Finally, just make sure you are having fun.

Long sleeves are her signature look on The Voice. For 19-year-old Karise Eden, they are more than a fashion choice. She wears them to cover the scars on her arms - from years of self-harm. ''I call them my tribal scars,'' Eden told The Sun-Herald.
The teenager has opened up about her harrowing childhood and early teenage years. The self-harming started at 11. She left home at 13. From then until age 16 she was shunted between more than 20 refuges. ''I was just moved and moved. I went through a lot of traumatic experiences.''
But tonight and tomorrow night, Eden performs in the grand final of The Voice, Australia's most-watched TV show. She goes in as favourite, according to Sportsbet, which has her priced at $1.57 to win. Eden is telling her story now, hoping to give hope to other teenagers who have endured hardship. ''There is a way out,'' she says. ''You can get through it.''
It didn't always seem that way.
The self-harm started while living on the central coast with her mother Michelle and sister Siana-Lee. ''I won't go into the actual reasons why. I guess I was just stuck in a place in my life when I thought there was nothing else. I was nothing, I felt nothing.''
In the youth refuges, she says, ''there was a lot of playing the game of who's top dog. There was a lot of violence in places like that and we were all just kids, in such a stressful situation.''
Eden was given her own place under community housing at 16, in Woy Woy. She slowly built a local reputation as a singer, performing at restaurants and shopping centres. ''It was just through word of mouth, through friends and family who knew people locally.'' And life got better.
''I broke the chain [of self-harm] when I was 15 or 16,'' she says.
She describes her relationship with her mother as difficult, but she has invited her and her sister to be in the live studio audience in Sydney tonight.
''We have a love-hate relationship,'' Eden says. ''There's a lot of bitterness but a lot of love. There's a lot of underlying, deep issues that we've never touched on. It's very mixed emotions for her because I grew into an adult without her … So I guess it's hard, us trying to figure out each other. Yeah, it is a difficult relationship but at the end of the day she's my mum.''
Eden uses her middle name as a surname. Her foster parents joined her at the first audition for The Voice.
''Eighty per cent of me - actually, 100 per cent of me - wants to run and scream to the world what happened to me. I want to just get out there and scream and plead with [other] kids.''
She has her doubts, adding: ''But they're not going to listen to me.''
Tonight, surely many will.
The grand finale screens over two nights on Channel Nine. Public voting will decide the winner.
RACHAEL LEAHCAR has just 10 per cent of her sight remaining and uses a white cane to guide her.
Although there is a cure ''on the horizon'' for her hereditary condition - retinitis pigmentosa - the teenager said she would not necessarily want her situation to change.
''Every year they discover something new,'' Leahcar said of a potential cure for the disease that affects one in 3000 Australians. ''So I have some hope … maybe even in five or 10 years there will be something.
''I'm not sure now [though]. I've become this role model for people with disabilities. I'm not sure if I want to go down that road, because I'm really happy with my life.''
The condition, that began as a loss of peripheral vision and progressed to tunnel vision, has not hampered her independence.
As well as her burgeoning singing career, Leahcar is an ambassador for the Royal Society for the Blind in South Australia.
''She is so positive and confident,'' the society's spokeswoman, Jessica Hamilton, said. ''You don't feel that she has a disability of any kind.''
Leahcar's success has attracted much interest on social media, praising her as an inspiration for visually impaired children.
The head of the Discipline of Ophthalmology at Sydney University, John Grigg, said research into a cure through gene therapy and stem cell therapy was progressing here and overseas.
''A cure is on the horizon,'' he said.
Leahcar said that more needed to be done in the community to change attitudes towards people with disabilities.
''Sometimes I'm called the blind singer and those two words have absolutely no relation to each other,'' she said. ''You can't feel sorry for someone who's so happy … I'm on top of the world.''
