Daisy and the party
What does Gatsby want from Daisy?
8 comments:

Some dreams do come true but others only partly come true. On the night that Daisy finally comes to one of Gatsby's known parties he is awfully disappointed to notice she is not having fun. At the party Daisy seems to be very distasted with the events. This of course puts Gatsby down since in a way those parties had always been for Daisy. Gatsby had always thrown these parties in hope that maybe some day Daisy would waltz in. What Gatsby most wants is to impress Daisy, he wants her to want him. Gatsby actually believes that if he impresses Daisy enough he can win her over again; and that is what he wants most from Daisy, for her to love him again.

I agree 100% with Kristeena. All the parties were arranged solely for Daisy's satisfaction. However, seeing that Daisy does not enjoy the party, Gatsby is greatly affected. All the luxury is worth nothing because of Daisy does not like the party. What Gatsby wants from Daisy, is her love. In the past, Daisy had promised Gatsby that she would wait, but she got married with Tom instead. So, by impressing Daisy with his parties, Gatsby thought he could get Daisy back to him.

The parties Gatsby hosted had a purpose to show Daisy that he was not the man she knew before. Although it was a way to lure her to him it was also a way to get her to feel differently in terms of socially with Gatsby. But as the party seemed too much for Daisy and Gatsby knowing this apparently he is bummed to know that all he accomplished failed. To him he might have thought that because she disliked the party she thought less of Gatsby. Their "relationship" would depend on the way she saw him at that party. What he wanted was just an approval from Daisy regarding his position now, a rich powerful man.

In Chapter VI when Daisy and Tom go to Gatsby's party for the first time, Daisy doesn't really seem to be enjoying the party. Gatsby notices this and it greatly affects him because he had been hosting all his parties all along for the hope that Daisy might appear at one of them. Although Daisy did show up, Gatsby was disappointed to know that Daisy seemed uninterested and displeased. What Gatsby wants is to have Daisy's love. He wants to go back to the past so Daisy would leave Tom for him. Gatsby wants Daisy to go to Tom and say that she never loved Tom. Although Daisy's opinion of Gatsby's party was not great, Gatsby doesn't seem to give up and tells Nick that he was going to fix everything just the way it was before so Daisy would come back to him.

Daisy doesn't enjoy the party too much because it really isn't her kind of crowd. All these people are rich celebrities who don't have high classed ancestors. They are the "new" rich and act like a total mess at Gatsby's party. This makes Daisy uncomfortable but she tries to act as if she is enjoying her time in front of Tom. Gatsby sees her reaction to party and is disappointed his plan failed yet he doesn't give up.

Gatsby's unique parties were only to attract Daisy's interest. He planned everything according to what Daisy could like, such as the fancy high status people, the noise of laughter, expensive food, and much more. All he asked for was for Daisy to arrive and have a good time. Gatsby's true purpose was to regain Daisy and her love. When he saw her having a mediocre time at one of his parties he felt uncomfortable. This is because she could of thought of Gatsby as not that great anymore.

- clara said...
Daisy was clearly not happy at Gatsby's party. She was probably not used to the way the "new" rich "played." Gatsby noticed this and was instantly dispirited by Daisy's lack of enthusiasm. Gatsby always thought that his parties would somehow attract Daisy's attention, which was why he always threw the parties; for Daisy's acceptance. He always wanted Daisy to acknowledge his success, his wealth; which was why he always flaunted his money around.

Fitzgerald essentially demonstrates that pure love is a result of simplicity. The close association between emotions and materialism is not a viable connection.

Baroness Scotland: UK working on arrest law
The Attorney-General, Baroness Scotland, who is currently visiting Israel, has refused to comment on individual arrest warrants issued against Israeli leaders in Britain.
IDF officers have been forced to cancel a trip to Britain after the British government failed to guarantee that arrest warrants would not be issued against them, it emerged today.
This followed an attempt to arrest Tzipi Livni, leader of Israel's Kadima party, who cancelled a trip to the UK after a warrant was issued.
Speaking at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, Baroness Scotland said: "When first considering this lecture last spring I little realised the prospect of its having such added topicality in light of recent events, as regards private applications for arrest warrants.
"I shall not tonight be talking about the rights and wrongs of any individual case.
"But you will know that the Foreign Secretary has stated clearly that the government is looking urgently at ways in which the UK system might be changed to avoid this situation arising again, and is determined that Israel's leaders should always be able to travel freely to the UK".
Earlier today the Attorney General met Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon, who was reportedly livid at the IDF cancellation.

Prime Minister of Norway running country from his iPad
- By Joshua Keating
Joshua Keating was an associate editor at Foreign Policy
Governing Norway? There's an app for that.
Prime minister Jens Stoltenberg, like thousands of others, has been stranded by the volcanic cloud hanging over Europe. But he seems to be managing:
Stoltenberg, who was in town for President Obama's nuclear summit, was due to return to his country Thursday. But thousands of flights to northern Europe were cancelled because of volcanic ash from the exploding Eyjafjallajokull volcano.
His solution? Stoltenberg pulled out the iPad he's presumably just bought and has started to govern his country with it.
"Due to the delays, I'll be working from New York," Norwegian newspapers reported the president as saying.

NEW ORLEANS — John Boehner was reelected House Speaker yesterday by his Republican colleagues despite some dissenting members.
Dahl, as wedded as he is to his own boots, is a dissenting voice in the chorus saying that what Obama wears makes any difference.

No African-American witnesses were called, and only one dissenting witness was heard—the tireless Stetson.
Roberts, wrote Campos, authored both the majority and dissenting opinion.

To this advice, however, there was one dissenting voice, and that voice was John's.

Waiting game for Latics players
Date published: 11 April 2011
DECISIONS over which players will be offered deals for next season won't be rubber-stamped until after the Athletic board convenes next week.
At present, only seven professionals — Djeny Bembo-Leta, Warren Feeney, Dean Furman, Kieran Lee, Kirk Millar, Dale Stephens and Chris Taylor — are contracted to the club for the 2011-12 campaign.
There is also an option to keep striker Reuben Reid at Boundary Park beyond the expiration of his deal at the end of this season.
Managerial duo Paul Dickov and Gerry Taggart, who are in the process of deciding who they want to offer contracts to, remain with Athletic on 12-month rolling contracts.
Meanwhile, Jason Lowe and Filipe Morais could be back in Athletic's squad to travel to Yeovil.
Lowe missed out on selection against Charlton as a result of an ankle problem he picked up during the 2-0 win at Notts County seven days earlier — a game in which he converted a late penalty — while Morais took a painful knock to the hip in the same game and is also plotting a return at Huish Park this Saturday.
"Jason did it in the first half at Notts County and did well to finish the game," said Dickov.
"He struggled but we are hopeful he will be okay for Yeovil.
"Felipe is struggling too, but we hope to have them both and they are both big players for us."
Yeovil lost 3-1 at Hartlepool on Saturday, despite taking the lead at Victoria Park.
The Glovers are 17th in npower League One and have so-far accumulated 47 points this season.
Feeney has another season of playing for N.Ireland while being paid by Latics. Another very poor decision to give him a 2 year deal.
Dale Stephens will be going to Southampton unless they suss him out - looks good but lacks strenght and fight.
I might dust of my boots for next season :o). Seriously these are desparate times and I fear for the club next season on and off the pitch.
Poor decision to keep Feeney -a liability. One can gloss over the cracks within the squad but even those being retained are not capable of allowing Latics to move onwards and upwards.
If money is made available (a big IF I agree) then a clear-out is required but who will want most of the players that would be made available? Next season must be better but, the question is, will it be?
Deanmo....doesn't matter who or who wouldn't want them. At the end of June, a significant number are out of contract and will be told to clear out their locker. The players and their agents will know during the next few weeks what their future will be regarding Latics.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has officially declared the eastern cougar extinct, 79 years after the last one was reported in the wild in the United States.
The eastern cougar is a subspecies of the cougar, which includes the Florida panther and the western cougar. There are multiple subspecies, though exactly how many is debated among biologists. All are called by several names depending on the area, including puma, panther, mountain lion, catamount, cougar and painter.
The eastern cougar's historic range extended from Maine south to Georgia, west into eastern Missouri and eastern Illinois, and north to Michigan and Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick, Canada.
Eastern cougars were killed off by European immigrants protecting both themselves and their livestock. States offered bounties to encourage killing them. The last official records of eastern cougars are believed to be in Maine in 1938 and New Brunswick in Canada in 1932.
It's true that cougars are still sighted within the eastern cougar's historic range, but the Fish and Wildlife Service has confirmed that all of them are either western cougars or cougars from South America kept as pets and released into the wild, says Meagan Racey, with the Service's Hadley, Mass. office. It's known that western cougars are migrating towards the Midwest, Racey says.
The Service published an eastern cougar recovery plan in 1982 but the Service now wants to delist the subspecies, because it no longer exists.
While some had claimed that 'ghost cats' still lived in the cougars' historic range, extensive efforts by Fish and Wildlife found none left.
"Even small populations of cougars, such as those in Florida and North and South Dakota, leave substantial physical evidence (tracks, photographs, scat, hair, genetic samples, road mortalities, cougars shot or caught in traps)," the agency said in a Q&A on its web site. "Service biologists assembled 108 records dating from 1900 to 2010 with a high level of confirmation that the described animals were cougars. After careful examination, the biologists concluded all reported cougars were animals that escaped or were released from captivity or that dispersed from the western United States."

15 Acts You Have to See at the Inaugural KAABOO Del Mar Festival
The first installment of the "musix mix-perience" in San Diego kicks off this week and we've got 15 artists you'll definitely want to make time to catch.
The first installment of the "musix mix-perience" in San Diego kicks off this week and we've got 15 artists you'll definitely want to make time to catch.
We're loving "Coming of Age" from Foster The People and if you like to plan your summer road trips around concerts, we've got the 2014 Foster The People tour dates!
Foster the People frontman Mark Foster reached the top of Mt. Kilimanjaro yesterday. He and singer Kenna scaled the Tanzanian natural landmark to spark awareness about the need for clean water across the globe.
Foster the People's breakthrough smash 'Pumped Up Kicks' was pulled from many radio stations in the wake of the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Conn., which left 26 people dead, most of them young children. The song was a point of contention, due to the lyrics "You better run, better run / Outrun my gun / You better run, better run / Faster than my bullet." The band has responded to the song being temporarily removed from the airwaves.
You've heard Foster The People's "Call It What You Want" on 95-1 The MOOSE for some time but if you've never seen these guys live, check out their performance on David Letterman.
Foster the People have become one of our fave bands in the last year or so and they have done a fantastic job of keeping their online presence engaging and FUNNY. Check out behind the scenes of their Houdini video here:
In my clan of industry buddies, I'm one of the few that doesn't go to Bonnaroo. SXSW? You bet. There's a fancy Hilton there. Middle of nowhere Tennessee in the dirt? No thanks.
Los Angeles bubblegum indie rockers Foster the People have a new video full of death, dance floors and remote-control resurrection — plus even some boy band choreography. Check out the surreal 'Houdini' below.
When I'm working at my desk, I'm notorious for playing something over and over until I get the task done. Theoretically, I'll work faster to get it done so I don't get sick of it. Today's treat is Foster The People and a live version of "Houdini". Enjoy.
Downloading, both legal and illegal, has taken a lot of the blame for the sales collapse suffered by the music industry over the last decade and change. But not every artist has a horror story to tell regarding mp3s and filesharing technology.
Just ask Mark Foster, frontman for fast-rising rockers Foster the People, whose inescapable hit single 'Pumped Up Kicks' started out as a free download on the band's website.

November 7, 2003
AMHERST, MA - One year removed from posting a school-record 24 wins and advancing to the NCAA Quarterfinals for the first time since 1994, the Amherst College men's basketball team garnered a No. 14 national ranking in the 2003-04 D3hoops.com Preseason Top 25, which was announced on Thursday. The Jeffs open their season November 21st at 6 p.m. against visiting non-league foe Gordon College in the first-round of the Ken Wright '52 Memorial Invitational Tournament.
Coming off a 24-5 campaign, Amherst returns 11 players, including senior tri-captain guards Adam Harper (Washington, DC/St. Albans) and John Donovan (Holmdel, NJ/Holmdel) - both two-year starters with a wealth of experience. Harper, the 2003 NESCAC Defensive Player of the Year and a Second-Team All NESCAC pick, led the conference in steals (3.5 spg) and finished sixth in free throw percentage (.794) and 21st in scoring (12.4 ppg) as a junior. Donovan was ninth in three-point FG% (.417) and 10th in three-point field goals made (2.00/gm.), while averaging 9.8 points per game. Junior point guard Ray Corrigan (Queens, NY/Poly Prep) is ready to fill the void left by graduated point guard Ryan Faulkner '03 after finishing fifth in the NESCAC in assist/turnover ratio (2.44) and seventh in assists (3.39 apg) in 2002-03. Fellow junior Russell Lee (Lorton, VA/Hayfield Secondary), a slick left-handed shooter and penetrator, also returns, as does sophomore sharpshooter John Bedford (Ridgewood, NJ/Lawrenceville), who averaged 5.7 points and played in all 29 games as a rookie. Look for sophomore southpaw Keith Zalaski (Simsbury, CT/Simsbury) and senior defensive stopper Frank Perry (Hartford, CT/Loomis Chaffee) - a two-time All-NESCAC forward on the men's soccer team - to contribute as well.
The frontcourt will rely on athleticism, which shouldn't be a problem with the personnel returning. At the top of the list is 6-7 junior forward Andrew Schiel (Wayne, PA/Conestoga), a scoring threat on both the post and the perimeter who finished seventh in the NESCAC in three-point FG% (.429), eighth in blocked shots (1.18 bpg), 11th in free throw percentage (.772) and 22nd in scoring (12.4 ppg) last season. Senior tri-captain forward Tim Jones (Richmond, VA/Governor's School) adds a strong defensive presence, finishing 13th in the NESCAC in blocked shots (0.82/gm) last season. Rangy 6-6 sophomore forward John Casnocha (San Francisco, CA/S.F. University HS) gained valuable experience as a first-year, averaging 2.8 points and 2.6 boards in just under 10 minutes per game, while 6-8 senior center Don Quinn (Princeton, NJ/Montgomery) returns for his final campaign with three years of postseason experience.
Amherst is one of only two NESCAC schools ranked in the preseason Top 25. Defending national champion Williams College heads the list at No. 1.

August and September in California is foodie heaven, a time when farmers markets and grocery stores overflow with plump berries, sweet nectarines and oozing figs.
But do you know what these fruits look like when they first sprout? Or how a farmer knows when they're ready to be harvested?
Jewish National Fund, Bay Area Tribe and Birthright Israel want young adults to know the answers to these questions. On Sept. 21, they'll bus dozens of people to an organic farm in Petaluma for an Eco-Farm Dinner, where visitors can tour County Line Harvest's 26 acres and then dine on its crops.
"I call it the scratch and sniff tour," said David Retsky, owner of the farm. "We'll walk around, people can ask questions and touch the plants and the soil. Which is an experience for a lot of people — to see how a carrot grows, how a beet grows."
Sherri Morr, regional director of JNF, came up with the idea of the Eco-Farm Dinner three years ago, around the same time Retsky, her nephew, started farming in Petaluma. She's thrilled to finally put her idea on the calendar.
"I think it speaks to the Bay Area, it speaks to young adults, it speaks to the very beginnings of Israel, when everyone always thought of Jaffa oranges when they thought of Israel," she said.
Retsky first became interested in agriculture after high school, when he spent a year in Israel harvesting fruits and vegetables on a kibbutz. He loved it.
"At the time, I didn't really get it. But afterward, I realized it was really life-changing, to live like that," he recalled.
When he returned to the United States, he found a job at an urban farm in Santa Barbara. After several years in Southern California and traveling the world, he settled in Petaluma and began farming. County Line grows salad greens, radishes, turnips, basil, onions, garlic, beets, carrots, chard, kale, tomatoes and strawberries, among other crops. Retsky sells directly to Bay Area restaurants and to consumers at farmers markets in the East Bay and North Bay.
"I think I've brought a bit of kibbutz to the farm," he said. He hires interns each year, most of whom live on the farm. And though it's in no way a commune [County Line is for-profit], "we all help one another," he said.
The Sept. 21 event will not only include a farm tour and dinner, but also a conversation with two students from the Arava Institute for Environmental Studies in Israel. The speakers — an Israeli woman and a Palestinian man — will discuss how the environmental school also promotes dialogue and coexistence.
In addition to the tour and speakers, event coordinators say there also will be plenty of time for shmoozing during a wine and beer tasting and also during dinner.
Eli Raber, director of Bay Area Tribe, said he hopes the event builds community and inspires people to think more carefully about the food they eat and where it comes from.
"Being out in the field and talking to the farmer will make the dining experience so much richer," he said. "I think it's an experience that will stay with people."
Tickets for the Eco-Farm Dinner are $40 (Birthright Israel alumni are eligible for a $10 discount) and include transportation to and from San Francisco, farm tour, beer and wine tasting and vegetarian meal. Buses depart at 4 p.m. Sept. 21 from Justin Herman Plaza. To purchase tickets or for more information, check www.jnf.org or call (415) 677-9600.

Many people can't afford to pay twice for school tuition. Once via taxes, and then again to pay for private school tuition or home-schooling. Government run schools have the monopoly so most children are forced to go to schools closest to their homes. I agree with some that a system should be in place to allow parents to decide, not the federal government where and how their children should be educated.
"If you expect a nation to be ignorant and free you expect what never was and never can be."

"A nation under a well regulated government, should permit none to remain uninstructed. It is monarchical and aristocratical government only that requires ignorance for its support."

Pope ends resignation rumours
There has been growing speculation that John Paul II could be forced to resign because of ill health.
He is 82, and has found it increasingly difficult to cope with lengthy public appearances.
But a front-page story in the Milan daily Corriere della Sera says the pontiff has no intention of standing down.
The article was written by Vittorio Messori, the journalist who in 1994 helped to produce the Pope's best-selling book "Crossing the Threshold of Hope".
Mr Messori did not name his source for the story, but said his information was "recent and certain".
God's will
In the article he sums up what he believes can be "deduced" about the Pope's thinking.
"The force to continue is not my problem but that of Christ who wanted to call me, though unworthy, to be his vicar on Earth.
"In his mysterious design, He has brought me here. And it will be He who decides my fate."
The article will come as no surprise to many Vatican watchers who have long believed the Pope would never consider resignation.
But his growing frailty in recent months has led some cardinals to speculate that John Paul II might be forced to quit because of ill health.
Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga, of Honduras, said recently he thought the Pope "would have the courage" to resign if he was no longer able to continue his ministry.
And there was speculation that the Pope might use a trip to his native Poland, in August, to announce his retirement.
Resignation is allowed under church law, but in modern times no pope has left the job before his death.
The last pope to stand down voluntarily was Celestine V, in 1294.
In the case of the present pope, there is no doubt that the demands of the job have become a strain on a man who suffers from the symptoms of Parkinson's disease.
Earlier this year, I saw him at his day of prayer for world peace, in Assisi, and at a rally for young people in St Peter's Square, in Rome.
His physical decline is painfully obvious for all to see. He walks only short distances, his speech is slurred, and he tires quickly.
But his aides insist that his mind is still sharp, and he is clearly lifted by the rapturous reception he receives when he makes public appearances.
On Sunday, he used his weekly address to thank the faithful for helping to keep him going.
"In the moments of great difficulty and suffering, this spiritual force is a real help."
The Vatican recently suggested that the Pope's overseas trips might have to be curtailed, because of his ill health.
But it has now been confirmed that he will go ahead with visits to Canada, Guatemala and Mexico, beginning in late July.
It will be the Pope's 97th foreign visit.
Italian Cardinal Ersilio Tonini, himself 87, said he hoped there would now be an end to the speculation about the health of the Pope.
"Let us hope that the prophets of doom will now stop talking about his resignation," he told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica.
"The Pope has hidden nothing of his current illness. He has not been ashamed to show himself as weak, fatigued.
"He feels divine will guiding him, and for that reason will never quit."
Job for life
Should a Pope resign his position?

Developing an Integrative Studies Major
Developing a proposal for an Integrative Studies major takes time, and involves lots of research and conversations with faculty. There are three main components to the application: the proposal form, the course list, and a letter from your Faculty Mentor.
Be prepared to spend at least 8-10 weeks developing an application; getting started early and sticking with it are key to submitting proposals in time for the final review by the Integrative Studies Advisory Board.
First step:
Meet with the Integrative Studies Coordinator.
This initial conversation will help you understand the parameters of developing an effective and feasible plan, and whether there might be other approaches for you to meet your goals, such as by combining existing majors and minors at the College. The Coordinator may also recommend you consider developing your plan around one of the possible platforms that have been identified and developed by faculty, based on years of students interest.
Next steps include:
Meeting with faculty in the areas you want to include in your plan.
If you don't know faculty in these areas yet, the Integrative Studies Coordinator can help you figure out who to contact. Another good place to start is with chairs of departments in which you want to take courses, and/or with assistant/associate deans, especially in Schools other than Humanities and Sciences. The assistant/associate deans are extremely knowledgeable and are in an excellent position to advise you. The chairs and deans can give you advice on the curriculum, on which courses may be relevant to your goals, and they can tell you when courses will next be offered. They may also refer you to faculty members who are particularly knowledgeable about the areas addressed by your plan. Through this process, you should also work to identify a faculty member who can serve as a Faculty Mentor for your plan.
Planning meeting with faculty.
Once you have begun to clarify your goals, the Integrative Studies Coordinator will bring together a group of faculty to meet with you over lunch so you can get more ideas about and direction for your plan.
Studying the Ithaca College course catalog and department web sites.
The course catalog provides information about all the official courses approved in departmental curricula, and department web sites often have additional information about special course offerings that don't appear in the catalog, such as experimental courses and selected topics courses that change across semesters. This research will help you to prepare the course list (see the Application Process section) that will accompany your proposal.
Researching majors offered at other colleges.
Investigate majors offered at other colleges that are similar to the program of study you are interested in pursuing. Existing majors at other institutions can often serve as models for plans. You can obtain information about the curricular offerings at other colleges by looking at their web pages or by contacting them directly.
Contacting the Office of Career Services.
They have a wealth of information on careers and on the requirements necessary for entrance into those careers. Call and make an appointment to talk to a Career Center counselor.
Final Steps to Approval
1) When the Coordinator determines that your application is complete, the proposal and course list are circulated to chairs and deans of departments represented in your course list. Chairs and deans may, at this stage, request changes in your proposed course of study, based on availability of courses.
2) Once approvals from all the chairs and deans involved in the review of your course list have been received, your proposal is then submitted to the Integrative Studies Advisory Board and the associate dean of the School of Humanities and Sciences for final approval. Additional revisions may be requested after this review. Note that the Advisory Board meets once each semester to review proposals, so it is important to complete all the required elements of the proposal well in advance of that meeting.
3) After approval by the Advisory Board, including any revisions requested, the Associate Dean will officially sign off on your proposal, and notify you via email. You can then submit the Change of Major form, and this point you become an official Integrative Studies major.

Guwahati, Jan. 16: A Guwahati-based NGO has expressed concern over a cheaper variety of eri shawls (sador) from Bihar flooding the markets of Assam.
Despite Assam producing about 95 per cent of the eri cocoons, only 20 to 25 per cent of it are used to make eri sadors here while the rest are sent to the mills of Bhagalpur in Bihar by an unscrupulous section of traders. In return, a thread of inferior quality is sent to Bijoynagar in south Kamrup district of Assam, which was once known for its flourishing eri trade, alleged Sadananda Choudhury, secretary of Muga, the NGO.
Choudhury said the eri sador made in Bhagalpur is almost 10 times cheaper, hence, more in demand here.
The thread used to make the eri sador in Bhagalpur is of inferior quality and hence, the product would be cheaper by almost 10 times. For example, a hand-woven eri sador in Assam costs between Rs 3,500 and Rs 6,500 while the one made in Bihar sells for anything between Rs 350 and Rs 600. Hence, there is a greater demand for the variety which resembles the original product, he said.
Sualkuchi, Assams silk village about 35km from here, was on the boil last year when products of Benarasi silk were being sold as Assam textiles by wholesalers. This led to clashes between artis-ans/local traders with the police and subsequent clamping of an indefinite curfew.
The situation, however, was controlled later with Dispur announcing short-term steps to check the practice. The steps included asking retailers to separately display the two products in their shops, making it mandatory for shops dealing in both products to mention the same clearly on their signboards and constitution of special enforcement squads to check the practice.
The NGO further alleged that a majority of eri shawls available in the Khadi Board, ARTFED and the like are from Bhagalpur.
An eri hub, Bijoynagar, is about 32km from Guwahati. About 150 villages in south Kamrup are engaged in eri cultivation.
The conspiracy by a section of traders to malign the image of Assam eri began in 2006. A couple of years later, an artificial shortage of eri was created in Bijoynagar and during the period, a cheaper variety of thread and synthetic fibre (costing between Rs 350 and Rs 650 per kg) from Bihar made its way to shops here. Consumers accepted the product because the original eri thread costs Rs 1,600 to Rs 2,800 per kg, Choudhury said.
The organisation today appealed to the authorities to put an end to the dispatch of eri cocoons to Bihar and asked consumers to be more careful while making a purchase.
The eri trade is dying and it is important for the government to stop the practice of dispatching eri cocoons to Bhagalpur and entry of the inferior thread from there, said Chandan Keshav of Boko, who imparts training on natural dye applications.
In Bijoynagar, there is an artificial shortage created by a section (of traders) who export the eri cocoons to Bihar after hoarding them. So, for almost half the year, the mills (at Chaygaon near Bijoynagar and another in Kokrajhar) stay idle, Keshav added.

U.S. Congressman Leonard Lance ( 7th District )
Congressman Lance was elected in November, 2008 to fill the seat formerly held by Mike Ferguson.
Leonard Lance was elected to the Senate in November 2001 and reelected in November 2003 and 2007. He currently serves as the Senate Budget Officer. He was a member of the General Assembly from February 1991 until entering the Senate.
Mr. Lance was born in 1952 and was raised in Hunterdon County, where he attended public schools. He holds a bachelor's degree from Lehigh University, where he was elected to Phi Beta Kappa; a law degree from Vanderbilt University; and a master's degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs of Princeton University.
The Senator served as the law clerk to the Warren County Court in 1977 and 1978. He was assistant counsel for county and municipal matters to Governor Thomas H. Kean from 1983 to 1990.
Mr. Lance is married to Heidi A. Rohrbach. He is a trustee of the Newark Museum and of Centenary College in Hackettstown, and he is a member of the New Jersey Council for the Humanities.
Senator Lance is the third generation of his family to serve in the Legislature, following his great-uncle, H. Kiefer Lance, and his father, Wesley L. Lance.
The Democratic majorities in Washington have deliberately engaged in gridlock. We need to bring about fundamental change.I have a proven record of leadership as a fiscal conservative who believes deeply that public office is a public trust.I have voted in the Legislature against massive borrowing without voter approval and successfully sued Jim McGreevey on this issue. I have fought my own party in Trenton when it has abandoned core conservative fiscal principles and I will do so again in Washington, if necessary.We must cut the size of the federal budget and restore integrity by reforming the scandalous earmark process. The tax cuts should be made permanent.Unlike the Democrats, who believe that government is the answer to most of our problems, we believe in lower taxes and respect for each person as an individual.
I ask for your support in this campaign for Congress.

20 Glebe St. c.1840?
Plus additional linked photos
Glebe Street is named for the Glebe Lands, a tract of 17 acres which Affra Harleston Coming gave to the Minister of the Church of England in Charles Town, and his successors in 1698. The Glebe Lands were divided into lots, with large space reserved for the parsonage of St. Philip's church, in 1770. The parsonage lot was further subdivided and Glebe Street was cut through the block in 1797.
(Stoney, This is Charleston , p.126 ; Stockton, DYKYC, March 5,1979.)
IMAGE: TOP OF PAGE -- Built in 1770 as St. Philip's Glebe House, this two story brick house on a high brick basement has the relative simplicity expected of an 18th century parsonage. The house now serves as the official residence of the College of Charleston's President This use is historically fitting, as it was once the residence of the Rev. Robert Smith, who was the College's first president as well as South Carolina's first Episcopal bishop. The house's interior wood work, in the Georgian style, is unpretentious but excellent. The college's first classes met here.
(Stoney, This is Charleston , p.54 ; Smith & Smith, Dwelling Houses , p.313-315 ; Stockton, DYKYC, March 5,1979.; Leland, DYKYC, April 29,1957.)
--Mount Zion A.M.E. Methodist Church, built in 1847-48 as the Glebe Street Presbyterian Church, was once attributed to Charleton architect Francis D. Lee. However, it has since been shown to have been the first commission of Edward C. Jones, to whom Lee was apprenticed before becoming his partner in 1852. The design is a very academic one and shows the influence of Sir John Soane (1753-1837) one of England's most prominent architects of the late 18th and early 19th century, and whose designs were published. When the church was built, the land was leased from St. Philip's Episcopal Church ln 1856, the lot was conveyed to the Glebe Street Presbyterian Church in fee simple by St. Philip's. The Glebe Street Church sold the property to the Zion Presbyterian church in 1866. ln 1882, Zion Presbyterian merged with the Central Presbyterian Church on Meeting Street, and the Glebe Street property was purchased by a group from Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church. They organized a new congregation, which kept the name Zion and named their church the Mount Zion African Methodist Episcopa church. part of the College of Charleston campus.
(Legerton, Historic Churches, p.56-57 ; Ravenel, Architects , p.229-230 ; News & Courier , Aug.29,1885; Stoney, This is Charleston , p.54)

All were built by lessees on lots which they leased from St. Philip's church. Gener ally, the leases were for 3l years, with the lessee or his heirs given the first option to renew the lease (with the approval of the vestry). lf the tenant did not renew the lease, he had the option of moving the house or conveying it to the vestry.

When attempting to shutdown a team with a high-powered offence it takes a complete team defensive effort.
And, that is exactly what the CeeBees minor under-15 female team got when they squared off with the Trinity Placentia TeePees.
It was in the championship of the Girls Under-15 Invitational Tournament at the S.W. Moores Memorial Stadium in Harbour Grace April 6.
The CeeBees held the high-powered offense of the TeePees to a lone goal in their 3-1 victory.
Camryn Taylor, Kristen Shute and Rhiannon Kelly had the goals for the CeeBees.
"They played their hearts out," said coach Doug Taylor.
The CeeBees went undefeated in the tournament defeating the TeePees (6-1), Glovertown (12-1) and Clarenville (3-1) en route to the championship.
"It was a team effort," said Taylor.
The CeeBees got big efforts from all players on the bench. From Samantha Pike, Sam Pike, Dakota Sheppard, Ally Cleary and Kaitlin Butt to Abby Reynolds, Emily Jones and Melissa Murphy, each player had a role to play in the team's title run.
At any level, a hockey team will only go as far as their goaltending will allow them.
So, it helps when the CeeBees were able to throw a top-notch goaltenders like Kelsey Shute and Brittany Kelly at their opponents.
Both had strong tournaments as the team surrendered just four goals in four games.
"The goaltending was superb," said Taylor.
Members of the team are: Kelsey Shute, Samantha Pike, Sam Pike, Dakota Sheppard, Ally Cleary, Melissa Murphy, Brittany Kelly, Kaitlin Butt, Abby Reynolds, Melissa Murphy, Emily Jones, Alliah Jayne, Nancy Pike, Rhiannon Kelly, Kristen Shute, Taylor Slade and Mackenzie King.
Gaining momentum
With their invitational tournament out of the way, the CeeBees have turned their attention to the under-15 female provincial tournament being hosted in Harbour Grace April 11-13.
Here, the team will welcome others from Straits minor in St. Barbe, Glovertown, Stephenville and Twillingate.
This makes the CeeBees tournament win last weekend a huge step in their confidence.
Any time a team can win a championship and then head directly into a provincial tournament brings nothing but good things.
It means some extra jump at practice and a clearer head as the tourney nears.
Taylor sees this and acknowledged it will be big for his team.
"Our tournament was a huge momentum boost," said Taylor. "Our confidence is really high."
The unknown
For Taylor and the CeeBees, there is a sense of the unknown in the tournament.
Aside from Glovertown, the team does not know a whole lot of information on their other three opponents.
"We haven't played either of them before," said the coach.
The unknown means a couple of scouting trips to the arena prior to his teams first game on Friday.
However, Taylor has complete confidence in his team's ability to overcome any team that stands in front of them.
"They've proven they can play with the best," he said,
When asked how he expects his team to fare in the upcoming tournament, Taylor hopes for the best.
"I think we can pull off a medal," he said.
The CeeBees kick off the tournament with a 12:30 p.m. tilt with Stephenville on April 11.

Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
I've had this refrigerator for a little over a year and I love it. There is so much more room than in a side by side style. It keeps food very cold. I didn't get the 3rd drawer style because I didn't think I would get into that drawer that much, but we do. I'd consider that option next time. The water dispenser is a little odd, because of the location (in the very front of the opening- the ice comes out at the back) but works very well. It doesn't make as much ice as some, but has a bin in the freezer where you can dump the ice already made. I knew this already before purchasing and it really hasn't been a problem. I use lots of ice and it is sufficient for me. If another ice loving person is here, then I need to dump the ice bin at night to make extra ice.

Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
I love this fridge. The temperature gauges are right! All my deli, dairy, greens and prepared foods have special temperature draws. The freezer is great with Square storage bins and Te two draws give me quick foods (breakfast sandwiches, nuggets, etc.) and raw foods separate spacing. However, after family use for over a year I have a few comments. The ice production is low, even with the fast button, so you will need to stock ice. The company has provided a tray for this, but it should have a cover. I end up using Ziplock bags. I would also like a built in egg draw which can hold eighteen eggs. It would fit very nicely on the same side as the ice maker and provide extra shelf space. They have upgraded this model to include a quick door for daily items. Buy That One! I would have, but it was not out when I got mine and the kids are always grabbing milk and snacks. It would resolve the open door syndrome.
Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
We love the fridge. Plenty of room for what we use (after removing one of the shelves). The controls are easy to use and the filter is simple to replace. The only gripe we have is the water dispenser is slow. Compared to other refrigerators that friends/family have, this seems like it's about 1/2 the speed of theirs. It does the job, but it gets tiring having to hold an ever-increasing weight longer than necessary.
Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
The condensate drain plug constantly freezes over so the water drains into your freezer (and then all over the floor during defrost). The also ice maker stopped working.
Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
Ice Maker in my fridge quit working right after the warranty was up and i am looking for parts and can't even find a parts breakdown of the unit. I am not gonna pay someone to replace the fan in my fridge when it is only a couple screws and a plug to replace it. had 1F error code which is ice fan which is the fan that blows the cold air into the slim plus ice system on the door to make it cold enough to freeze the ice. When the fan quits you can't get ice or water.
Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
For the first year there were no issues. I begin to notice water pooling in front of the freezer door. After a thorough investigation, I determined the freezer was collecting water in the bottom and it was leaking onto the floor. Once a week I clear the ice to avoid the damage. The ice-maker in the door consistently jams and has to be emptied and cleared.

Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
We bought this refrigerator about 2 years ago and needed a refrigerator that met in a small width space, but gave us a decent enough capacity. We really like the refrigerator. The adjustable shelving and drawer space is perfect for our family needs, we especially the 2-drawer freezer option. There are a few things to note when considering this design. We had a water leak from the water line from valve assembly to ice maker/fresh water that had a crack in it. Also, the adjustable door shelves break very easily. Almost all of them have broken.

Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
Six months after purchasing a coop in New York, the refrigerator that came with the unit magically turned into an oven with soaring tempratures. Repairs promised to be astronimcal, and so grumbling and cursing, we went refrigerator shopping. In retrospect it was the best thing that could have happened to us. NY spaces are tight--and ours is no exception. This one magically however seems to have infinitely more inner space than the old unit. The interior is incredibly well designed and easy to reconfigure. The individual drawers with their own temperature settings are fantastic. The double freezer drawer is a new feature to us--now I wish we had always had one--and the ice maker ample for our needs. And the entire unit is quiet--not true of all refrigerators--making this one of the best purchases we have ever made. Yes it's a bit pricier than others we looked at, but with the 10 year warranty especially, this is a GREAT investment. If you're looking for a new refrigerator, you can't do better.

Comments about LG 24.7 CuFt French Door Refrigerator:
This replaces a GE side by side and the 3 door french style is so much more convenient. Only the left side door space is somewhat constrained by size of items that can be placed there, but having a smaller ice dispenser paves way for a lot more space inside.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In practice, valuation -- particularly the P/E ratio -- no longer means much. If it did, Apple ( AAPL) would not wallow at a forward P/E of 10.27, while Amazon.com ( AMZN) sports a robust 88.34 on the same metric. Using Tuesday's closing prices, Apple's current P/E stands at a puny 13.48 relative to Amazon's inflated 185.29.Unlike Apple bulls and Amazon bears, I pull only one point of significance out of those otherwise meaningless numbers: This is not your Grandfather's stock market.

Finished The World God only Knows (Season 1-3). And I was wrong about this series, it was pretty great and not what I was expecting. Comedy was great and the romances was actually thoughtful and not down right stupid. I would actually call this a Parody romance series/Comedy series.
Third Season was great
I kinda want to know which girl he will end up with though, but I do have an idea
Overall great series, I highly recommend it.
Anyways, Having both a Christmas Wii U from launch year and a Christmas PS4 from launch year, I can safely say that I'm already bored with the games on the PS4 and expect it to not get much use for a month or three after next week.
Ah...It's so nice to be home again, CT. With my slightly slower yet somehow more stable wireless internet. So, less HD youtube vids and more internet gaming.
My vote has been cast. The die has been rolled.
grima was praised this day
I vote this one.
I don't usually like the food my uncle makes. The meat is usually too well done and the vegetable too under cooked =P These next few days my family and I will probably be making our own little Christmas dinners.
Overall today was nice. We did eat some food (there was no way I'd go the whole day with out eating anything), watched some cartoons, played some Mah Jong with the family. Roughly the same thing we do every year.
For Christmas I got a T shirt, $50, and a ton of candy.
For the tie breaker!
I like the other one better, but this one seems like it would make a bitter icon

Apparently Pokemon Bank was pulled from the Japanese eshop due to "connection issues". Pokemon Bank was supposed to be available 12/27/13 in other regions but because of these issues we may not get it tomorow.
You know, since I started watching Hunter x Hunter I've always wondered one thing. Why have not brought this over here? It's such a great show and could be just as popular as DBZ and Naruto are here in the US.

This is the 3rd mashoogida time I've gotten sick in the past two months. I've literally been sick in bed for a total of over 1 month. and it's never the kind of sickness where you eventually throw up, toss back an ib profin and then have fond memories of your time laying in bed playing video games. It's the kind of sickness where everything that touches your body is terrible, your throwing up doesn't relieve your suffering, your aching keeps you from laying still and the diarrhea simply takes the water your drinking and uses that to send you running to the bathroom every several minutes. I don't get what's going on this year but I went from never being sick to sick at all times. I hope I don't throw up that ibprofin because I need that to start working.
Halp, am sick.
I'd vote for Tharja. <3

Lol. Somebody post new info and someone else strike it down as old! Then BAM!
It's funny that a lot of users here constantly bitch about the abundance of "Nintendoom" and Cybersai threads, and make it seem like there are never constructive threads around here. When a constructive or insightful thread comes up, it will get half a page of replies and will die 12 hours later, while sales threads will reach 6 pages. And who replies to the Nintendoom and sales threads? Why it's the very people who bitch about these said sales,etc. threads of course! And those users will solely post in these threads, but avoid the constructive and insightful threads. They want Cybersai to stop posting, but instead of ignoring him, they give Cybersai the attention he wants. They always seem to complain, while being the sole contributor to the problem. Funny, but that's life for you I guess...

Well, I got a new 3DS. I was going to get the sexy Zelda 3DS XL, but I didn't have enough, so I got the 2nd best option, a Purple 3DS. Now I won't need to share one with my brother. Friend Code is in my sig.
I also got Super Mario 3D World.
Also, I need to change my icon. It isn't Christmas anymore.

Nah, that'll be something that will happen where we'll be all like "D'ja see that, grandchild of mine? I remember when Techno Hobbit first started workin' on it. It was right before I bought my first Model T."
It will happen when we least expect it and it will blow us away.
It'll be like we're Link atop of Eagle's Tower, and that one gust attack happens. And then, right when we've recovered:
It'll be the Balrog edition's turn to spice up our lives with its own 5k.

As is yours, my friend, as is yours.
I wish Arrow would stop with all this "attractive people drama". I'm interested in a vigilante hero who fights crime with arrows, why in the hell is the show mostly beautiful people with witty banter and weak ass drama? Oh and all the references to current pop culture like Justin Beiber and The Kardashians? SHUT THE HELL UP! Like I don't get enough of that in my daily life I've got to get it from what should be a super awesome super hero TV show? Who are these writers that don't understand natural human dialogue? It's like all those political thrillers where important people in suits walk hurriedly down a hallway towards a camera and take turns spouting perfectly rehearsed exposition. STFU already, I need a show to watch, so please start being a show.
Side note, Hero's used to be one of my favorites and then it stops being about hero's, powers and a villain and instead turns into a suddenly bisexual girl experimenting with a very boyish college girl, yeah, good one writers. I'm a grump today, I want to complain about stuff.

The original poster and I both wanted to obtain the client computer name. The above codes work for web application and web service pages with a local server. However, these codes did not work when I applied them to my remote server. Like the original poster, I only gathered the Web Server name.
I do not believe that it is possible to obtain the client computer name from a remote server.

Wanning, Hainan, China, January 30, 2013- The International Surfing Association (ISA) is pleased to announce the winners of the 2013 Hainan Classic, 4-Star Men's ASP: Brazilian Caio Ibelli placed 1st defeating Australian Mitch Crews in the Final.
Despite smaller conditions on the last day of the competition, Ibelli was able to choose the right waves that gave him the win. The young and super talented Brazilian earned an 8.33 on his opening ride in the final, and nearing the end of the heat, he tore apart a long left and scored a 9.17 for a heat total of 17.50. The 2011 ASP Billabong World Junior titlist easily defeated Crews' 11.00 total for the Hainan Classic trophy and top cash prize.
"This has been an amazing event filled with lots of surprises. Congratulations to Caio Ibelli for his incredible performance in the long winding waves at the left point in Riyue Bay," said ISA President Fernando Aguerre from his home in La Jolla, California, where he was attending to the needs of a new baby girl born into his family the day before.
Ibelli was the most consistent and in-form surfer of the event since he earned the top 4 highest heat scores: 17.67 in the Quarterfinals, 17.67 in Round 3, 17.50 in the final, and 17.50 in Round 1.
"This contest has been pretty good; the waves were amazing and I had so much fun surfing the heats. There's no better way to start the year than by winning," said the Hainan Classic champ. "This is my first event of the year and I feel awesome."
Second place finisher Crews struggled to find quality waves during the Final. "I started catching the first wave and it just ran off a bit quick. Caio got the one behind it, and it stood up real nice on the reef allowing him to get a few turns," remarked Mitch Crews. "After that there were basically no waves for 10 minutes, and I held priority for as long as I could. It was hard to chose them and the conditions were deteriorating, but I'm happy with my performance and on to the next contest."
The ISA President appreciates all the effort that went into putting on this successful event. "In the name of the ISA and the over 35 million surfers in the world, I would like to thank China's National Water Sports Association, the Hainan Culture and Sports Department, the Wanning Sports Bureau, and especially our great partners, Womei Media. With all of their support, I am looking forward to coming back to Hainan, for the third time next year, for what will be a bigger and even better event."

Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML To celebrate the release of the political thriller The Debt, starring Helen Mirren and in cinemas on 30 September, the New Statesman is offering one lucky reader the chance to attend, with a companion, an exclusive preview screening of the film at members-only London media club The Frontline on 8 September. The Debt was filmed on location in Tel Aviv, the UK and Budapest. The screenplay, by Matthew Vaughn & Jane Goldman and Peter Straughan, is adapted from the 2007 Israeli film Ha-Hov [The Debt]. At the 2011 Beaune International Thriller Film Festival, The Debt was honoured with the Special Police [Jury] Prize. The story begins in 1997, as shocking news reaches retired Mossad secret agents Rachel (played by Academy Award winner Helen Mirren) and Stephan (two-time Academy Award nominee Tom Wilkinson) about their former colleague David (Ciarán Hinds, who also appears in the upcoming film adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy). All three have been venerated for decades by Israel because of the secret mission that they embarked on for their country back in 1965-1966, when the trio (portrayed, respectively, by Jessica Chastain [The Tree of Life, The Help], Marton Csokas [The Lord of the Rings, Dream House], and Sam Worthington [Avatar, Clash of the Titans]) tracked down Nazi war criminal Dieter Vogel (Jesper Christensen of Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace), the feared "Surgeon of Birkenau", in East Berlin. While Rachel found herself grappling with romantic feelings during the mission, the net around Vogel was tightened by using her as bait. At great risk, and at considerable personal cost, the team's mission was accomplished - or was it? The suspense builds across two different time periods, with startling action and surprising revelations that compel Rachel to take matters into her own hands.

Protecting the pigs
By the BBC's Mike Mckay
Smiling broadly, Robin Mair glanced across at trading standards officer Alan David Griffin as he prepared to leave in the police patrol car.
"Just remember," he teased, "We're paying you to ride around looking at North Yorkshire's beautiful countryside! All I see is the inside of my bunker!"
For the next month or so that will continue to be Mr Mair's fate in north Yorkshire.
As the county's chief trading standards' officer, he will monitor the 15 joint police/trading standards patrols whose job is to enforce the law in the tough new 'biosecurity zone' that covers 900 square miles of the county.
Volunteers have arrived from trading standards offices in Lincolnshire, Norfolk and Cornwall. Fifteen extra staff have been taken on to run the county's call centre for worried farmers.
While the government insists that foot-and-mouth in Britain has been reduced to three or four 'hot spots', the cluster of cases breaking out around Thirsk - once the home of James Herriott's practice - suggest the disease is far from beaten.
The government's animal health minister, Elliot Morley, came to inspect the launch of the new biosecurity zone and perform a careful balancing act on prospects for finally eliminating the outbreaks.
At a milk distribution depot, in Topcliffe, just outside Thirsk, the minister watched tankers going through a high-powered disinfectant spraying ramp. Clouds of jetspray palely reflected the brilliant sunshine.
Every tanker arriving at the depot must undergo this process and be hand-sprayed again before leaving the depot.
'Plume of infection'
On the thousands of miles of rural highways and byways across North Yorkshire, the biosecurity patrols will check all movements in and out of farms.
Why has this military-style operation been launched in Herriot country?
"It's absolutely crucial that we stop the disease spreading into the pig-producing sector," said Mr Morley.
Barely a stone's throw away to the east lies the most populous pig-rearing region in Britain - stretching down from the East Riding of Yorkshire to the most southerly corner of Lincolnshire.
"While sheep don't particularly spread the disease by air, pigs do," said Dr Stephen Hunter, Yorkshire operations director for the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra).
"They create a kind of plume of infection - we call it a 'virus factory'. If the disease got into the pig population, it would be a very big outbreak - which is why we're desperate to stop it spreading beyond here."
Farmers in the biosecurity zone accept the need for drastic action - and if effective, says Defra, similar tough measures may be tried in other parts of the UK.
But pig farmers like Richard Lister, whose Boroughbridge farm lies within the security zone, thinks Defra are being inflexible on some issues.
For three decades - since the end of the last great foot-and-mouth outbreak - pig movements have operated under licence - not so sheep and cattle.
"At the moment, we're becoming chock-a-bloc with pigs on our breeding grounds because we're all having to wait for the results of a mass blood-testing on sheep in the county," said Mr Lister.
"But given the normal standards of hygiene in our industry, local vets could have assessed our stocks and issued licenses for movement.
"But I don't think the Defra people care about our immediate worries."
Mr Lister said his farm was becoming a "shanty town" of accommodation for more and more pigs - normally 1,000 a week are born on two sites.
"We've got weaners in pens of straw bales, pigs with sun burn and lots of tail-biting. Plus they've got to be fed and watered while the numbers keep growing."
Like all North Yorkshire's livestock farmers he is awaiting the outcome of blood testing of 50,000 sheep.
If they are found to have anti-bodies, it will confirm the worst fears of a "bush fire" spread of the disease across the Pennines.

Good Counsel (Olney, Md.) football coach Bob Milloy said that wide receiver Stefon Diggs is unlikely to sign on Wednesday, the first day of the national letter of intent period for football.
Diggs, a 6-foot, 185-pound receiver who was a member of the All-USA first team , had 36 catches for 808 yards and scored 13 touchdowns this season.
"I think he is a little confused right now," Milloy said. "He's got a little bit of a decision to make. He just got back from a visit to Ohio State."
Diggs' most prominent pursuers include Auburn, California, Florida, Maryland and Ohio State.
He is ranked No. 8 overall prospect in the country by Rivals.com.

Today Show Sheds 600,000 Viewers Since Savannah Guthrie Replaced Ann Curry
Roughly one year ago, NBC's Today show clumsily replaced Ann Curry with Savannah Guthrie.
Fans seem to still be holding it against the Peacock network for the show has not only lost its first-place position to ABC's Good Morning America, it has also shed over 600,000 viewers.
As The Wrap reported Friday, from July 9, 2012 (Guthrie's first day as co-host) to July 8, 2013, the Today show averaged 4.647 million total viewers from 7 to 9 AM.
This represents a drop of about 606,000 from the 5.253 million the show averaged in the first year following Curry's debut as co-host on June 9, 2011, a twelve percent decline.
In the all important demographic of folks aged 25 to 54, viewers have dropped from 2.321 million to 1.908 million, an eighteen percent decline.
In fairness to Guthrie, it's not atypical for a show to lose viewers in the first year with a new host or co-host. The Today show experienced a similar decline in the year following Meredith Vieira's replacement by Curry.
Will Today's numbers improve in Guthrie's second year?
Stay tuned.

Pa.'s semantic games
The other great rhetorical game unfolding along the banks of the Susquehanna is the "Pennsylvania has a budget surplus" charade.
In his efforts to escape legal entanglements resulting from the Monica Lewinsky scandal, former President Bill Clinton once answered a prosecutor's question by saying "it depends on what the meaning of the word 'is' is." That quote quickly became the gold standard in rhetorical equivocating.
Politicians here in Penn's Woods are working hard this budget season to be Clintonesque in their parsing of words. Given the commonwealth's financial shambles, the word games are especially clever on the topic of taxes and the budget.
Leading the parade are the Republican leaders in the state Senate who are at odds with Gov. Tom Corbett and their more conservative colleagues in the state House who have vowed to hold the line on taxes and control spending. Senate leaders, by contrast, are fighting tooth and nail to increase spending and raise taxes.
Oops, not taxes; fees.
The main targets this year are companies drilling for Marcellus shale gas. Senate President Pro Tem Joe Scarnati and company are acting like Ritalin-deprived schoolchildren in their desire to tax the gas industry more. The GOP's top senator wants to add a $10,000 annual per-well tax in addition to the wide array of taxes already paid by the drillers. He calls this a fee because the money would go to local municipalities and the state's Growing Greener fund, a cleverly named honey pot for lawmakers.
Scarnati calls the tax a fee because he knows Corbett and many legislators have signed the no-new-taxes pledge promoted by anti-tax crusader Grover Norquist's Americans for Tax Reform. So now, Senate Republican Leader Domenic Pileggi has offered legislation to implement the tax/fee, but designate proceeds to offset future — not current — property tax obligations for senior citizens.
Scarnati and Pileggi are playing the "meaning of the word 'is'" game. Their "it's for the kids" reason for implementing a severance tax on Marcellus gas didn't fly. Nor did their "it's for the environment" excuse. Now Pileggi is playing the "it's for the old folks" card. He admits he's doing this to get around the no-tax pledge. But in the tea party age, voters aren't fooled by such semantic games. Simply put, voters know a tax when they see one — and this is a tax.
This is playing out against the backdrop of the other great rhetorical game unfolding along the banks of the Susquehanna — the "Pennsylvania has a budget surplus" charade. Because revenue collections for April and May ran some $500 million over projections, the spend-a-holics see a surplus. But the state's general fund budget has a $4.5-billion deficit, so the $500 million "increase" simply reduces the deficit to $4 billion. And a deficit is a deficit no matter how you define "is."
Fiscal problems have resulted in painful budget cuts, especially in education. But the cuts resulted largely because Gov. Ed Rendell and the Senate's GOP leadership based the education budget on federal stimulus money, even though that revenue stream was temporary. Having played Santa Claus, the state must now be a Grinch.
The recent revenue "surplus" must be viewed as temporary. The economic recovery shows signs of faltering — housing prices down and unemployment rising amid fears of higher inflation. It would not be prudent to budget based upon the track record of the past few months.
But under the Capitol dome a tax is a fee and a deficit is a surplus. Too many legislators of both parties fail us by allowing special interests to feed at the trough. Their leaders need to make tough, necessary budget decisions — assuming they know what leadership is, which, of course, depends on how you define "is."
