Fela Warschau Describes liberation by British forces at Bergen-Belsen [1995 interview]
But we got weaker every day because there was nothing to eat. Finally, the last day when we had nothing, I could barely drag myself. I said to my sister, "I'm going into the barrack, and I'm going to lie down and just die in there. I do not want to die and people should just step over me like others do." They followed me. We all lie down there and just almost said goodbye to life. One of our friends--she was even younger than I was, the youngest--she was always searching, trying to find a way. So she said she has to take the last look outside and see what's going on. When she came back she said to me, "There's something funny going out there. People are running all over the place" and it's, it's unusual. It's not what usually happen. And I told her to just lay down and die in peace. She must be hallucinating. She insisted, so my sister walked out with her. When my sister came back, I don't know with what strength she came back, grabbed me by my arm, and she says, "Get up, get up. Guess what, everybody's running, and the gates are open. There's a man sitting, is it a tank or whatever"--we couldn't distinguish at that time one thing from the other--"he is speaking through a loudspeaker. His words are being translated. I think we were liberated." When I got up and walked outside, my eyes couldn't comprehend. It just didn't register. It's unbelievable. I couldn't believe this was really true, so I said to my sister that she has to grab me by my arm and do something physical so I realize I am really alive and we were liberated. It was the English army that liberated us.
Eyewitness Account Taken from http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/media_oi.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005224&MediaId=3281
Refael Olewski, one of the DP Camp leaders
The eldest son of Rabbi Yehuda-Arie Olewski and Hannah-Rivka (Nejman), Rafael-Gershon Olewski was born into a highly respected Hassidic family on 19 March 1914, in the small town of Osi?ciny, Poland.
As a youth, he studied in a Yeshiva towards rabbinical ordination, but went on to become a teacher at a religious school, an activist for the Jewish National Fund (Keren-Kayemeth-LeIsrael) and chairman of the local literary circle. He wrote articles in the regional Yiddish magazine, under the pen name "R. Rebus", and was a reporter for the Jewish Scientific Institute (YIVO).
In 1937, he was drafted into the Polish army and served in an elite cavalry regiment, where he was known as Felix. On one occasion, Rafael defended his Jewish faith by hitting a Pole who was harassing him about it, an act that gained him great respect in the eyes of the other soldiers.
In September 1939, the cavalry regiment lost a battle against a German tanks unit. Shot and wounded, Rafael was taken prisoner-of- war. That same night he escaped, facing a death penalty if recaptured.
Returning to Osi?ciny, he lived with his beloved mother in the local ghetto and, in 1941, was deported to several forced-labor camps, eventually reaching Auschwitz III [Buna-Monowitz]. With the Nazi withdrawal, he was deported to additional camps during the infamous "Death March," finally arriving at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, which was liberated by the British army on 15 April 1945.
Apart from his brother Rabbi Israel-Moshe Olewski, he had lost his entire family, and the two met by mere chance a few days after the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, discovering that, without knowing it, they had been incarcerated in adjacent blocks.
The brothers were prominent figures in the Bergen-Belsen camp and they were both nominated by the Central Jewish Committee to organize Jewish life in post-war Celle (May 1945).
Rafael Olewski was elected the first chairman of the Jewish community of Celle after World War II.
On 15 January 1946, he married an Auschwitz survivor, Rachela Zelmanowicz of Bedzin, Poland, who had played in the Auschwitz-Birkenau women's orchestra. The rabbi who married Rachela and Rafael – in the local synagogue of Celle – was his brother, Rabbi Israel-Moshe Olewski, who was the first rabbi of Celle after World War II.
Their first child, Jochi (Jochevet-Rivka), was one of the first baby girls born in the hospital of the DP camp.
In Celle, Rafael Olewski initiated, edited and published (along with his colleagues Paul Trepman and David Rosenthal) the first independent Jewish magazine in the British Zone - UNDZER SZTYME. The building next to the synagogue, which had formerly housed the Jewish school, became the offices of the renewed Jewish community, where Rafael and his brother organized a revitalized Jewish life for the survivors.
This dedicated work lasted for about five years, however, Rafael Olewski was later elected to the Central Jewish Committee of the British Zone in Germany. His duties – which included heading the Culture Department and History Commission – forced him to return to the Bergen-Belsen DP camp, from where he continued supporting the Jewish community of Celle.
Rafael Olewski quickly became one of the leaders of the Bergen-Belsen survivors, dedicating himself to his people and working for their individual and cultural rehabilitation. He initiated the establishment of The Popular University of Bergen-Belsen. He fought to commemorate the lessons of the Holocaust. He was also very active in illegal Aliya-Bet to Palestine and was involved in the events surrounding the ship EXODUS.
As a devoted Zionist, he finally made Aliya to Israel in 1949, with his wife and daughter. His son Arie (Yehuda-Arie) was born in Israel.
In Israel, he was one of the founders, and later the Chairman of the Organization of Bergen-Belsen Survivors in Israel (IRGUN SHE'ERIT HAPLETA BERGEN-BELSEN BE-ISRAEL).
He was the Vice-President of the WORLD FEDERATION OF BERGEN-BELSEN SURVIVORS; a member of the YAD-VASHEM Public Council; Chairman of the BUNA-AUSCHWITZ INMATES ORGANIZATION; President of the AUSCHWITZ COMMITTEE in Israel; Chairman of the control committee of WORLD ORGANIZATION FOR JEWISH FIGHTERS, PARTISANS AND INMATES, and more.
A self-taught expert on compensation claims, he received a special State permit to practice law without having to sit for the Bar exam. The Minister of Justice appointed him to be an official member of the State committee investigating claims of compensation from Germany regarding forced-labor.
Taking an active part in Israel's political life, he was one of the founders of the Likud, on behalf of the Israeli Liberal Party.
Serving in the Israel Defense Forces, he took part in the 1956 Sinai war, and was awarded the "Decoration of State Warriors" and the "Fighters against Nazis Medal."
A long-standing journalist, he wrote for Yiddish magazines in post-war Germany and, then later on, in Israel. He also published articles in Hebrew newspapers.
He had a rare talent for organization, which he used to create a new framework for thousands of survivors and their families, both in Israel and throughout the Diaspora. In the highly active Belsen organization, they found a warm home and an opportunity to influence life in Israel. This new framework included: annual world conferences of Belsen survivors, Hanukah and Purim parties, conferences to commemorate Holocaust memorial days, pilgrimages to Mount Zion in Jerusalem, erecting memorial monuments in Jerusalem and at the Belsen memorial site in Germany, visits to Yad Vashem, inauguration of street names in various Israeli cities, planting trees in the Belsen Forest in Israel, and more. He was known as a true and devoted friend, and as a good-hearted, warm and humane person. He personally knew each and every one of the thousands of Belsen survivors, helping them whenever necessary, usually by anonymous acts of charity. He was a father figure to many and a leader to admire.
He brought up his children on values of tolerance and respect for all people, and taught them to honor Jewish tradition.
Always looking for the good in a person, he treated well-known people in the same way that he treated simple people, giving each the deepest respect.
He had great love for his younger, orthodox brother, Rabbi Israel-Moshe Olewski, even though he himself was not religious.
He was a devoted Zionist and a proud Jew.
As a journalist and a naturally gifted writer, he documented the daily life of his small Polish hometown in his book THE TEAR, depicting both the drabness and colorfulness of its people, the pre-Holocaust days, the horrors of the camps, and the hope and rehabilitation following liberation.
Rafael Olewski died in Israel on 24 November 1981.
His book THE TEAR was published in Hebrew in 1983 by the Israel Organization of Bergen-Belsen Survivors. The Belsen Memorial site and the Culture Ministry of Lower Saxony in Germany are about to publish the book in German.
His important historical documentation of the post-Holocaust Jewish press in Germany and in Israel, which he had collected for many years, was donated to The RACHEL AND RAFAEL OLEWSKI PRESS WING in the MASSUA museum (Tel-Yitschak, Israel), by his children, Jochevet Ritz (Olewski) and Arie Olewski.
In May 2006 his name was commemorated on a plaque at the synagogue of Celle, alongside the name of his beloved brother Rabbi Israel-Moshe Olewski.
The Archives of the State Museum Auschwitz-Birkenau sent his children in 2006 an extraordinary document – "greeting from hell": A page out of the Revier Clinique of Auschwitz documenting Rafael's hospitalizing in 23rd March 1944, exactly as told by him in The TEAR…
In 2008 the ITS sent another document: his post control card from KZ Lager Mittelbau-Dora of January 1945.

An Encores! Special Event
November 6 - 16, 2014
Tickets on Sale September 2
Tony Award winner Brian Stokes Mitchell will star in The Band Wagon, an Encores! Special Event, based on the classic MGM film of the same title. The show has a book by Douglas Carter Beane adapted from the screenplay by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, with music by Arthur Schwartz and lyrics by Howard Dietz. The Band Wagon will be directed and choreographed by Tony Award winner Kathleen Marshall with music direction by Todd Ellison. The Band Wagon will run for 12 performances, by special arrangement with Warner Bros. Theatre Ventures.
The Band Wagon is a classic backstage musical: A washed-up Hollywood star trying to make a comeback by doing a Broadway show, a British director who is a genius but has no business directing a musical, a leading lady who's never done a show before, and a composer and a lyricist who are at each other's throats. All the things that could never happen in the New York theater today.
Written by Broadway's ultimate insiders, Betty Comden and Adolph Green, the 1953 film used Arthur Schwartz and Howard Dietz's wonderful songs to tell their story and took its title from the famed 1931 Broadway revue written by Schwartz, Dietz, and George S. Kaufman.
Now five-time Tony nominee Douglas Carter Beane will use the original Comden and Green screenplay (including scenes never filmed) as a basis for this Encores! Special Event, with a wonderful score that includes "Dancing in the Dark," "By Myself," "I Guess I'll Have to Change My Plan," "A Shine on My Shoes," and that great anthem for all of show business, "That's Entertainment."

Lady, Be Good ushered in the Golden Age of Broadway, from the mid-'20s until the early '40s, when Broadway musicals were opportunities for great songwriters, great songs, and great performers. The Gershwins (George was hot off the triumph of Rhapsody in Blue) delivered a jazz-age score that featured "Fascinatin' Rhythm" as well as a song that got unaccountably dropped during the show's tryout in Philadelphia, "The Man I Love." The stars of the show included Fred and Adele Astaire, playing a penniless brother and sister who crash a garden party in hopes of some quick nourishment.
Lady, Be Good has music by George Gershwin and lyrics by Ira Gershwin, with a book by Guy Bolton and Fred Thompson. Most of Lady, Be Good's original orchestrations disappeared long ago, and earlier attempts to put the show back together have not been complete. Thanks to the Joseph S. and Diane H. Steinberg Broadway Musical Restoration Fund, Encores! will have the opportunity to reproduce an authentic score under the supervision of Encores! Founding Music Director Rob Fisher.
Single Tickets: Starting at $30
Encores! season subscriptions can be purchased at www.NYCityCenter.org starting August 11.
Havana Rakatan
February 18 - 22, 2015
Tickets on Sale Sept. 2
Salsa, mambo, jazz, bolero, son, cha-cha-cha, and rumba come alive in Havana Rakatan, a dazzling display of Cuban dance. Set to live music by Cuban son band Turquino, Havana Rakatan explores the roots of Cuban music and dance, a unique fusion of Spanish culture and African spiritual beliefs. In it, flamenco, Yoruba and Afro- Haitian rhythms, as well as jazz, mambo, and son, give way to the modern forms of salsa that originated in the early twentieth-century salon dances. Havana Rakatan made its hugely successful debut in 2007 at the Peacock Theatre in London and has since toured all over the world.
Cuban choreographer Nilda Guerra directs a talented and versatile company of dancers, most of whom are graduates of the renowned Escuela Nacional de Arte de la Habana, which combines contemporary dance training with Cuban dance and Latin styles. Havana Rakatan is presented by New York City Center in association with Sadler's Wells and Congas Productions.

AppTrap for Mac
OK, here's a fairly simple idea: what if applications could be uninstalled as easily as they are installed, in other words, by drag-and-drop. Wait, I can already hear you say: "They can! By using x, y or z!". Well, nice try, sunshine!
Neither x, y or z are truly that simple, right? What can be considered the exact opposite of dragging an application to the Applications folder? Opening another application, dragging the unwanted application to that application, clicking a button, clicking another button, quitting? Nope!
The exact opposite would have to be... dragging the application to the trash. Ah, there you go! This is exactly what AppTrap does. Whenever you drag an application to the trash, a dialog window will pop up, asking if you want to delete the associated system files too. Simple as that.

DOHA – World powers supporting Syria's rebels said Saturday they will provide them with urgent military aid, some of it secretly, so they can counter "brutal attacks" by the regime and protect the Syrian people.
Yet even as they prepared to step up their own involvement in a war that has killed nearly 100,000 people, they demanded that Iran and Lebanese movement Hezbollah stop supporting President Bashar Assad's regime.
Speaking in Doha, top Qatari diplomat, Sheikh Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, said a ministerial meeting of the "Friends of Syria" had taken "secret decisions about practical measures to change the situation on the ground in Syria."
They agreed to provide rebels "urgently all the necessary materiel and equipment . . . each country in its own way in order to enable them to counter brutal attacks by the regime and its allies and protect the Syrian people," a final communique said.
Ministers from Britain, Egypt, France, Germany, Italy, Jordan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United States attended the talks.
Washington and Doha had called for increasing aid to end what U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry called an "imbalance" in Assad's favor.
Kerry said the U.S. remained committed to a peace plan that includes a conference in Geneva and a transitional government picked both by Assad and the opposition. But he said the rebels need more support "for the purpose of being able to get to Geneva and to be able to address the imbalance on the ground."
On Thursday, the Free Syrian Army said it was already receiving unspecified new types of arms that could change the course of the battle, while also saying it needed antiaircraft and antitank weapons.
The ministers agreed that all military aid provided would be channelled through the Free Syrian Army's Supreme Military Council.
France admitted Saturday that treatment kits against the effects of the deadly sarin nerve gas had already been shipped to the opposition.
In other news, French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the ministers demanded that predominantly Shiite Iran and Hezbollah stop meddling in the war by supporting Assad, whose Alawite sect is an offshoot of Shiite Islam. "We are fully against the internationalization of the conflict," he said.

Love, love, love the compactness of this, but for now, I'll just bookmark it until there's more than two of us going camping. Two pots, 2 lids, 4 deep plates, 4 stainless steel cups and a pot handle.
Much needed for camping. Nothing gets you up in the morning like a hot cup of freshly brewed coffee. Delicious! I need one for Burningman, too!Tags: outdoor, cooking, french, coffee, camping, hiking, nature, stainless steel, coffee makersAdded 9 Years Ago from REI

Newly hired as: Teacher at Eman School Fishers
Where did you hear about this opportunity, and what/who contributed to your being hired?
During our last semester at Xavier University, I attended a presentation conducted by Valarie Jacobsen from Career Development Office. It was meant to be for all the undergrad students studying Education. The presentation educated us really well about how to prepare for job interviews. Valarie also helped me with my resume and gave me loads of tips for job applications. Staff at CDO has been very supportive while I was preparing for job interviews.
I enthusiastically attended Job Fair held at our campus. As I was searching Private Islamic Schools, I came to know about Eman School Fishers. When I did some research, I heard great things about Eman School. My mentors: Mrs Kelly Law, Mike Phipps, Mrs Umama Alam, Dr Tanveer and Mr Ben Brown have a huge contribution in the process of making the final decision and being hired. Out of the multiple good options, I finalized Eman Scool Fishers. Now I am teaching 6th grade Math, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, 6th and 8th grade English Language Arts at Eman Scool.

Microsoft Release BlueHat 2013 Presentation
James Forshaw presents on 'Surface-Attack-Surface: Bypassing Code Integrity in 140 Characters or Fewer' at BlueHat 2013.
Windows 8 RT was the first desktop version of Windows which heavily restricted what a normal user could execute. While it provided almost a complete desktop environment only code signed by a trusted Microsoft certificate was allowed to run. This represents a significantly different security environment to typical remote-code-execution mitigations which makes the large attack surface interesting.
This presentation will go through some of the changes made to the desktop environment from Windows 7 to make it harder to circumvent the restrictions, some of the known ways unsigned code can be executed, as well as some of the changes in Windows 8.1 RT to mitigate these issues.

Rising English star Ben Howard takes on an at-capacity crowd with his dark, jazz-tinged folk. His debut, Every Kingdom—released by Ben Lovett's label, Communion—is rife with nature references, swoonsome acoustic guitar strums and softly crooned angst. Excellent support comes from Communion labelmate Michael Kiwanuka, a young British soul singer whose honeyed pipes and warm way with melody will stop you in your tracks, especially if you're a fan of such veteran soulsters as Terry Callier; check out his debut album, Home Again, if the sound of that appeals.

TrancenDanceGroup Presents UNVEILED SOULS, 11/10 & 11
Now in its third season, TrancenDanceGroup announces the fall performances of "Unveiled Souls" at the Manhattan Movement and Arts Center tonight, November 10th and the 11th, featuring the world premiere of company director/choreographer Gabriel Chajnik's Crescent and full, and G*D, a multimedia dance work in progress about a holocaust survivor. "Unveiled Souls " presents two microcosms of human frailty and hope, communicated through provocative and emotionally charged choreography that is sometimes poetic, sometimes edgy. Music ranges from an original score by musician and Grammy Award-winning producer Barry Goldstein commissioned for TrancenDanceGroup to pieces by Henryk Gorecky, Ernst Bloch, and others.
In addition to the two performances, the dance company holds its gala following the Saturday performance. A master class to be held on Sunday afternoon and led by company member and rehearsal assistant Jennifer Roit offers the opportunity to learn movement from the above new work.
One choreographer. Seven dancers. Two different yet emotionally connected works.
TrancenDanceGroup's "Unveiled Souls" plays tonight, November 10, 2012 at 7:00 PM and Sunday, November 11, 2012 at 5:00 PM, with a gala immediately following the performance on November 10, 2012. There will be a master class on November 11, 2012 at 3:00 pm. The Manhattan Movement and Arts Center is located at 248 West 60th Street, New York, NY.
"We are excited to share these new works with audiences this November," said Company Director Gabriel Chajnik. "When Hector Zaraspe, whom I studied with at Juilliard, first encouraged me to form a dance company, I knew that the goal of the company would be for our audiences to experience the Art of Dance in its full potentiality and transformative power. As a company, we strive to create dances that provide the observer insight into the human soul, using movement as a narrative through which different aspects of human interaction can be experienced. As we enter our third season as a company, it is especially rewarding for me to present the first glimpse of G*D, which has provided me the great joy of working once again with my mentor."
Crescent and full is a four section work for six dancers exploring light, sound, and energy, and their effects on perception and experience. Incorporating digital movement design by Aby Diaz, whose work was part of the recent 2012 DUMBO Arts Festival, the music for the piece is an original composition written for the company by musician and Grammy Award-winning producer Barry Goldstein. Featured company dancers include Gabriel Chajnik, Michael Dauer, Michael Crawford, Jessica Black, Michelle Joy, and Jennifer Roit.
G*D is a multimedia work in progress which portrays the compelling tale of survival of a Jewish father and his family during the Nazi regime in Poland. The complete work will receive its premiere in New York in 2013; the November concerts present a fragment draft performed to music by Henryk Gorecky, Ernst Bloch, and others. G*D is based on the true story of the late Haim Tzvi Rosmarim, a survivor of the Jewish Holocaust, written by his daughter Hannah Rosmarim Steinhaus. The work depicts the emotional state of the family from the time of their escape from their burning home town of Rowno (now the Ukraine), to their survival by living in a hole they dug in the ground in a barn after being unable to find a safe house, and finally, after a year and a half, liberation. The piece is danced by Jennifer Roit, Michael Dauer, Erin Gallagher, Michelle Joy, Jessica Black, and Ray Keller. Mr. Chajnik, who is related to Rosmarims, will follow the work with a brief Q & A.

It could be five or six weeks before
On the same day as Mr Strauss-Kahn's exit on May 19, the European Union was forced to increase the borrowing forecasts for its two bailout funds: the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism and the European Financial Stability Facility.
The next day, Greece's debt rating was slashed by Fitch Ratings to four levels below investment grade and Standard & Poor's announced several hours later that Italy's A+ credit rating was under review.
Two days ago Belgium joined the list of European nations facing the prospect of a credit downgrade. Fitch lowered its outlook on the country's debt to negative.
Greece's cabinet, also this week, endorsed plans for a fresh round of budget cuts and asset sales in order to meet the targets imposed by the European Union and the IMF as part of the €110 billion ($147 billion) rescue package.
Bond yields on Greek, Irish, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish debt have rocketed to record highs as investors demand more to hold paper issued by Europe's most indebted nations.
Credit-default swaps on Greek debt have surged to almost 1500 basis points, highlighting a near complete deterioration in perceptions of the country's credit quality.
Simon Johnson, an academic from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology who served as the IMF's chief economist during 2007 and 2008, warned in a television interview this week that Greece "may be about to face their own special European Lehman moment".
While all this is going on, the leading candidates in the race to replace Mr Strauss-Kahn are jockeying for position. The clear front runner at this stage is the French Finance Minister, Christine Lagarde, who has strong support from Europe, which, by convention, has selected every IMF managing director since the body's creation at Bretton Woods in 1944.
Brazil, China and other developing economies have called for an end to this clearly out-of-date tradition. Mexico's central bank chief, Agustin Carstens, is the latest emerging-nation candidate to put his hand up for the job.
Australian Treasurer
European governments have been calling for someone from Europe to continue in the top IMF spot given the severe debt crisis that has engulfed the continent.
That's a somewhat spurious and self-serving argument as there were certainly no moves by the Europeans to cede the position to someone from a developing economy during the Asian financial crisis of 1997-98.
The problem for emerging nations is that they have no real institutional framework that could be employed to coalesce around a single candidate, making it more difficult to achieve the "broad support" that US Treasury Secretary
The intense lobbying that is now under way over Mr Strauss-Kahn's replacement is also a major distraction for policymakers whose time could be far better spent over the next few weeks ensuring that Europe's crisis does not spread further.
Prominent commentators including New York University professor Nouriel Roubini and influential business people such as Berkshire Hathaway's
Europe's political leaders and central bankers at this stage are unable to agree whether to allow Greece to extend its debt repayment schedule and whether the European Central Bank should accept Greek government bonds as collateral in its refinancing operations.
Timely intervention by a new IMF chief with broad support from the world's major economies could help overcome this deadlock and therefore limit any further potential contagion from Greece's worsening crisis.
Waiting more than a month while politicians from these same economies squabble over who should take on the top IMF job could have the opposite effect, with disastrous consequences for a still fragile global economy.

Fearing arrest, Delhi rape accused tried to strangle 5-yr-old victim
Investigations into the barbaric rape of a 5-yr-old have revealed the accused tried to kill the girl after brutalising her as he feared arrest. He left for his native village in Bihar after she fell unconscious. Karn Pratap Singh reports. Rape victim stable, out of dangerdelhi Updated: Apr 21, 2013 03:25 IST
Investigations into the barbaric rape of a five-year-old have revealed that the accused, Manoj Kumar, tried to kill the girl after brutalising her as he feared arrest.
Police said the incident took place between 6 pm and 7 pm. Kumar kidnapped the girl at 6 pm and left her locked inside his rented room around 7 pm. He left for his native village in Bihar after the girl fell unconscious.
Police said there were cut marks and signs of strangulation on the neck of the victim, which proves that Kumar had tried to kill her. But after being brutalised and strangled by Kumar, she fell unconscious and Kumar thought that she had died.
Prabhakar, DCP (east), said Kumar disclosed during interrogation that he left the house within an hour of crime, thinking that the girl was dead. The girl remained in that dark room for nearly 40 hours before being rescued, Prabhakar said.
"Prima facie, it appears that Kumar had strangled the girl and she lost consciousness. She also gave in under the extreme pain inflicted by Kumar who inserted several objects inside body. Assuming her to be dead, Kumar locked the house and boarded a bus to New Delhi Railway Station from where he boarded the Swatantrata Senani Express for Muzaffarpur and left Delhi around 8.30 pm," said a source.
After leaving Delhi, Kumar first went to his ancestral house at Bharathua village in Bihar's Muzaffarpur district on April 16 and the next day reached in-laws' house in Chiknauta village.
His father-in-law Mahendra Sah said Kumar suddenly arrived at the village on Tuesday evening without any prior notice. "We had no clue what he was up to," he told reporters in Bihar. People in his native village have decided to boycott Kumar's family.

English School FA Cup
South Gloucestershire and Stroud 2, Bridgwater College 0
Bridgwater were undone by a strong second-half performance by the home Gloucestershire and Stroud side.
Tom Judge produced some good first half saves as defenders David Coley and Sam Hallett allowed Bridgwater to grow into the game.
Lee Villis and Callum Kennelly went close, both hitting the post, and some great footwork from Sam Anthony also provided an excellent opportunity but a good stop from the home side's keeper kept the scores level.
In the second half, the home side took the lead from a defensive lapse and sealed the win from a corner.
Manager Jason Gunningham said: "I am very pleased with the performance and commitment shown but it did not go our way today."
Bridgwater College have a chance of revenge in their next home fixture against South Gloucestershire and Strode in the league tomorrow (Wednesday).
South-West British Colleges Basketball 1A League
Bridgwater College 60, South Gloucestershire & Stroud College 2nds 69
THIS was Bridgwater's best performance to date against a Bristol team and they come away feeling disappointed that they did not win.
Both teams couldn't pull away from each other with the lead changing four times in the first half and one team never getting more than six points ahead of the other.
Adam Lewis (19 points) put in an impressive performance and Jack Roberts (23 points) helped to keep Bridgwater in the game.
Unfortunately South Gloucestershire & Stroud College Mens Seconds were much more clinical in their finishing in the fourth quarter and closed out the game 69-60.
Manager Richard Anderson said: "It was definitely our game to lose, there were too many turnovers and we can't expect to beat anyone playing like that - it was disappointing."
The academies next fixture is away to St. Brendans tomorrow (Wednesday).
*ANY Year 11 students wishing to play sport at Bridgwater College next year call Ben Norman on 01278-455464.

Shares in Commonwealth Bank of Australia have slumped, dragging the broader market lower, as a record profit fails to convince investors that they should keep paying more for the country's biggest bank.
CBA shares, which soared 1.28 per cent higher to $81.69 on Tuesday, were trading 1.1 per cent lower at $80.81 at 10:30AM AEDT on Wednesday.
The dive in the bank's share price follows Wednesday morning's release of its full-year result with a cash profit of $8.68 billion, up 12 per cent, fuelled by increasing market share in home and business lending.
But Omkar Joshi, investment analyst at Watermark Funds Management said the result also showed that bad debt charges have modestly increased in the half to 17 basis points in the second half of 2014, up from 16 basis points in the first half.
"This seems to suggest we might have passed the sweet spot in the asset quality cycle and that bad debt charges could start to tick up marginally from here for the industry," he said.
"Overall, an in-line result but with generally pleasing quality. Capital was the highlight of the result," Mr Joshi added.
The result from one of the country's biggest listed companies has weighed on the main benchmark index, the S&P/ASX 200 is 0.29 per cent or 16 points lower at 5514 points.
On July 31, shares in the bank hit a record high of $83.75, prompting many fund managers to question if expectations on earnings had fallen out of sync with the share price.
IG analysts Evan Lucas agreed that while the result was in-line with expectations, underlying changes in the economy impact future earnings and weigh on the bank's share price.
"This is a very strong result, however we have neutral call on the share considering the outlook is soft and at 2.17 times book value, fundamentals may catch up with Australia's largest bank and market security."
The result came in a touch above analyst consensus estimates for a $8.64 billion full-year profit.
CBA also announced a $2.18 final dividend to take total dividends for the year to $4.01, up 10 per cent at a full year payout ratio of 75.1 per cent.
Chief executive Ian Narev said the bank was "cautiously positive" about the outlook for financial 2015.

text: Posted 5 hours ago By Jonathan Auping IRVING, Texas - This Sunday the Cowboys will be looking to do something that no NFC teams have been able to do in quite some time: win in Baltimore. In fact, if the Ravens are able to defeat the Cowboys in front of their home crowd, they will successfully go an entire presidential term without losing to an NFC team at home. Since 2008, the Ravens are 8-0 against NFC opponents in Baltimore, and over the course of their existence, have a home record of 24-5-1 against their rival conference. The fact that individual NFC teams do not face the Ravens on a regular basis and therefore are not as familiar with them may have something to do with the Ravens' success. Combine that with a team that has always won with great defense and the result is NFC teams going into Baltimore have a difficult time trying to execute. However, it's not just an NFC thing, the Ravens are simply a great home team. Read more: http://www.dallascowboys.com/news/a...ur-Years/8ce2b73d-55fc-4d67-8e85-2f8e9b9bc4b6

Consumer Protection Law
Consumer Protection Law Questions? Ask a Lawyer Now.
Part of my concern is that it is supposed to be a 1960 Corvette but many of the components indicate that it appears to be a 58/59 Corvette. This is why I believe it to be a bigger deal that just a homemade VIN plate also located in entirely the wrong area for a 1960 Corvette.
I have consulted with experts that have advised me to return the car. If I try to register the car it could be impounded for obvious VIN tampering. If I try to get it corrected, than I run the risk of a state issued 17 digit VIN which is the kiss of death as far as a value hit for a expensive classic car. The Dealer knows this. They cannot tell for sure what model year the car is without a legit VIN.

|Request for Transactional Scenarios
|Tue, 11 Oct 2011 14:59:15 GMT
Hi, >From time to time discussions pop up here regarding the transactional or atomic capabilities of Cassandra (or lack thereof). There is at least one project dedicated to solving this problem (i.e., Cages). Unfortunately, in pretty much every discussion or blog post I've come across on this subject, people have not been very clear on stating their own reasons for requiring transactional semantics. I would like to hear from people who, at some point, felt they needed transactional semantics in Cassandra. What motivated this need and did you do about it? Did you come up with your solution or used Cages? And how did that worked out for you? I ask this because I'm very interested in contributing with a general solution to this problem, but first it's important to understand its extent. It would be awesome if you could share whatever you can from your experience (e.g., the kind of data, the higher-level operations performed on this data, level of concurrency, throughput requirements, etc). Even if you feel you cannot provide a detailed description, it would also be very useful if you could at least describe the transactional patterns involved (e.g., number of servers accessed, ratio of read/write operations, conflict rate, data flows, etc). Take care, Henrique

All 2008 Ford F-150s will benefit from new cargo management and rearview camera options.
Just a few years ago the only cargo management system you could find on a pickup was bungee cords and plywood. Now almost every full size truck will have a factory supplied payload organizer next year.
Ford hasn't lost its marketing mojo when it comes to the factory installed cargo management system in the hauling portion of the F-150.
Back in the 1920s Procter and Gamble beat the competition and made a fortune on shampoo simply by adding the words, "rinse, lather, repeat" to the bottle. In a pickup truck analog, FoMoCo has doubled the number of extruded aluminum C-channel side rails to two on each wall. Do you really need two sets of cargo rails and an assortment of plug-ins to micromanage your payload? Probably not, but it sounds good when GM, Toyota, and Nissan only come with a single rail to add accessories to. And where every bragging point is a challenge, it probably won't be long before Ford's competitors add a second rail to their cargo systems also. Some sales guys at Alcoa are going to win more than a few trips to the Bahamas for this move.
The default cargo management system setup comes well equipped with a pair of side-mounted lockable plastic storage bins (matched to the truck's ignition key) that can each hold up to 60 pounds. The double walled bins have drain holes to thermally manage any cold beverages you might put in them. Also included are two crossbars that can hold up to 100 pounds and a header bar to split up the box into separate spaces. Slickly designed, squeezable cleats are easier to move than the standard twist type used on other trucks and can hold up to 600 pounds. One shortcoming, the cargo management system will only be available on the 6.5-foot Styleside box.
Ending another improvisational tradition for pickup owners, Ford will offer its take on a rearview camera for the F-150. The optional eye removes the need for indecipherable spousal sign language and confusing, "left, no right, no left" commands while backing up to hitch a trailer or into a tight parking stall. It's mounted high up, next to the tailgate's lift handle instead of down on the rear bumper.
Ford also moves the camera's video image from the console mounted navigation display to the rearview mirror, so you don't have to drop an extra $2500 on a navi/DVD screen to get this option. In normal driving conditions, with the video picture off, the rearview mirror reflects light across its entire surface just like a standard mirror. In reverse, though, the picture shines through the mirror's reflective layer and provides red, yellow, and green depth markers to help center and alight the truck while backing up. The camera's fisheye lens ensures the driver can see the periphery of the vehicle and not just a narrow angle. To assist with frequent forwards and backwards maneuvers, the camera's video feed will remain on in the mirror for 5-seconds after putting the truck into drive.
We spent a few minutes practicing using the new backup system. It's immediately intuitive and extremely useful for seeing what's behind the truck on the pavement (like a rake or bicycle) or at tailgate level (like a trailer or light pole) without having to rely only on the incessant and increasingly urgent tones of the F-150's ultrasonic rear parking assist system. And for some very fine, slow maneuvers we actually turned off the sonar's irritating chimes and went 100% visual using the new system.
Pricing hasn't been announced yet for the cargo management or rearview camera systems.

LOS ANGELES -- The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health has agreed to freeze its current health permit fee for cold food and coffee machines following industry opposition to a proposal that would have more than quadrupled the levy.
The health department had proposed raising the $62 per-machine charge to $275. A group of vending companies that operate in Los Angeles County met recently met with the director of the agency's environmental health division and his staff to explain the impact the fee increase would have on their businesses.
The National Automatic Merchandising Association reported that the health department agreed to freeze the fee at the current rate and work with the vendors on a program that will accomplish its goals to protect the public and, at the same time, not impose an undue burden on vending operators.

Cirrhosis is a disease in which the liver becomes permanently damaged and the normal structure of the liver is changed. Healthy liver cells are replaced by scarred tissue. The liver is not able to do its normal functions, such as detoxifying harmful substances, purifying blood, and making vital nutrients. In addition, scarring slows down the normal flow of blood through the liver, causing blood to find alternate pathways. This may result in gastric or
esophageal varices
Cirrhosis of the Liver

Causes of cirrhosis include:
A risk factor is something that increases your chance of getting a disease or condition.
Risk factors include:
Cirrhosis often does not cause symptoms early in the disease process. Symptoms start when the liver begins to fail, as scar tissue replaces healthy cells. Symptom severity depends on the extent of liver damage.
Early symptoms include:
Later symptoms, some due to complications, include:
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history and perform a physical exam.
Tests may include:
