Girl Talk: In Praise Of Monogamy
Recently my husband and I went on a double date. We met my friend Kate and her husband Bear, at a German Beer Hall. I hadn't met Bear, and I always find meeting a friend's partner interesting. Kate seemed to come to life in Bear's presence. He is upbeat but sensible, she is witty and wildly imaginative. She is small and brunette, he is big and blond. They are a physical yin and yang. And even though there was plenty of room on the bench, they sat close, Kate in the nook of his arm.
Maybe it was the crowded hall or the oversized stein of beer, but I suddenly felt warm watching Kate pluck pommes frites from Bear's plate. They are proof that monogamy is a valid option, and one that can be mindfully chosen with integrity.
I fully endorse monogamy, but my husband, Edmund, and I are not monogamous. And among the polyamorous, non-monogamous set, monogamy isn't often talked about as a valid option. Maybe it's because most people just fall into monogamy as a relationship default. But monogamy can be chosen, and in the beer hall, I remembered the days when Edmund and I chose it.
When we were first dating, we slept in a small twin bed. No matter which way one of us turned, there was the other's body: face-to-face, head-to-chest, butt-to-butt (the latter of which is apparently called "zen style," the more tasteful way to describe it).
One weekend morning, I woke up to a surprise: a new queen size bed had been delivered with fresh bedding and pillows.
"You know I ordered that bed for you," Edmund likes to remind me.
This was when we were getting serious. We were becoming exclusive. He wanted to nurture our bond and he did so by making space for us to fall in love, a private space.
In those early days, I couldn't have imagined fitting another person into our life. There wasn't time for it. It seemed like days were lost in our new bed. Every moment was spent staring at each other, or when apart on the phone, saying "I love you" before we hung up (which is great until you accidentally say it to the boss, then you spend all non-boyfriend phone calls, half listening, half mentally reminding yourself don't say "I love you"!) The eye-gazing adds up. It takes time to get to know another person, and by being monogamous we had a lot of time to devote to one and other, to understand how we fit together, to understand what kind of relationship would work for us.
When I asked Kate why she and Bear chose monogamy (this was big choice for her as well) here's what she said:
"When you're secure, you have all of this time. Time to get to know your partner really well. Time to get really, really good at having sex with them. Time to think about plenty of other stuff. When I was single, I was always looking. Like, a tenth of my brain would be looking for a potential partner while the rest of it was doing something else."
In mine and Edmund's relationship, building a foundation with monogamy made me secure. Being monogamous at first was a way to get a handle on jealousy, it was showing each other that we were committed. It was understanding how we both handled jealousy. It was building trust, so that later, we could shake the foundation up a little and still be okay. I don't think being non-monogamous from the start would have worked, for us.
I understood when Kate said about Bear: "Love is an opening. But it closed an important door. Abruptly, for the first time in my life, I had no need to think about boys. It was simply gone. And the funny thing is, I didn't even notice it happening."
I felt this way for a long time, I just had no interest in anyone else. And being this way, I experienced another upside of monogamy, when this was the reality of mine and Edmund's, our relationship was so easily accepted by society. People commented with "awwws" on our Facebook photos together. No one questioned the nature of our relationship. I never had to justify our love. Things were simpler.
In discussions of monogamy and non-monogamy, the advice often dispensed is that we shouldn't enter into monogamous relationships if we don't want them and that both partners should agree ahead of time on what is okay upon entering. It all sounds very rational. But, as in mine and Edmund's case, it's never that easy. Relationship dynamics can change. Monogamy can be fluid.
"You know, I don't really consider us non-mongamous" my husband, said, when I told him what I was writing, "Yet, I don't consider us monogamous either, both just sound so serious."
I nodded. He said it better than I could. It feels weird that these two words sound so opposite, when they don't feel that way in our relationship.
What makes our relationship complete is an open door between he and I, and a window, sometimes open sometimes closed, to others. It's our yin and yang.
Staring back across the table, from under the nook of Bear's arm, Kate said, "You two just make sense."

The crash Thursday that wrecked Danica Patrick's car looked violent but turned out OK for the driver.
Patrick was nudged on the last lap of her Daytona 500 qualifying race and sent into a wall.
DANICA PATRICK: Driver okay after crash
The cameras inside her car showed her quick-thinking. She released her hands from the wheel to avoid a broken wrist.
"It felt like a pretty big hit, so I don't know what (the crash) looked like," Patrick said. "I'm really just bummed out that we didn't finish the last two corners. Instead we have a car in the wall and lots of damage and I'm sure a backup. But maybe the backup car will be faster."

Factors Affecting Participation of Italian Farmers in Rural Development Policy
In this paper a (micro)econometric approach is developed by considering the farmer likelihood to participate in different policy programs as linked to the objective of farmer to maximize their welfare. In this way we model farmers participation in policy support scheme by using a new institutional economics approach and conceptualizing the decision to entry as a contractual choice between two rural development types of policy. Different discrete choice modelling approaches are used to analyze the complementarity/ substitutability of different policy programs such as environmental-related measures and farm investment supports policy schemes and the main driving factors behind them. We use an extensive cross-sectional database related to the Italian FADN 2006. Results indicate that social capital and institutional factors should be taken much more into account in order to understand farmers likelihood to entry in policy support schemes. Location and farm(er) socio-economic features are also relevant factors. Moreover complementarity has been found between different policy schemes.

Rookie defenseman Slava Voynov collected his first NHL points with two goals and an assist and Jonathan Quick turned aside 30 shots as the Los Angeles Kings skated to a 5-3 road triumph over the Dallas Stars on Thursday in a battle of Pacific Division rivals.
Captain Dustin Brown had a goal and two assists and Justin Williams and Scott Parse also scored for Los Angeles, which defeated Dallas for the second time in five days and handed the Stars their first loss at American Airlines Center this season. The Kings posted a 1-0 triumph over the division-leading Stars on Saturday.
After Michael Ryder and Eric Nystrom tallied in just over a four-minute span to level the contest at 3-3, Voynov blasted a shot from the point which beat a screened Kari Lehtonen with 6:52 remaining.
Quick, who saw his shutout streak come to an end after 202 minutes, 11 seconds after defenseman Trevor Daley scored, kept the Stars at bay to preserve the victory.
Voynov, who is playing in place of the injured Drew Doughty, gave Los Angeles a 3-1 advantage after wiring a shot past Lehtonen for his first NHL goal with 4:39 remaining in the second period.
Lehtonen finished with 24 saves to suffer his first loss in eight starts this season.

|Home > World News > Article
Zimbabwean farm groups estimated that about two-thirds of the 2900 white farmers facing eviction remained on their land yesterday in defiance of government threats. They point out that while all have been told to stop farming, very few have had all their land occupied by the poor and middle-class blacks granted plots of between 10 and 30 hectares under Mr Mugabe's fast-track land reform programs.
Farmers say there are signs that many of these smaller "settlers" are not bothering to take up their options by building homesteads and physically occupying their plots, thereby leaving the whites with sections of their farms intact. Some, however, still face eviction by senior government supporters who have been allocated entire farms and their homesteads.
A spokeswoman for the Justice for Agriculture group, Ms Jenni Williams, said yesterday that the farmers who were clinging to their land wished to continue producing food and cash crops at a time when the UN says half of Zimbabwe's 12 million people face looming starvation.
Economists are warning that a mass default by dispossessed farmers will finish off a financial system already staggering under the effects of rampant inflation, interest rates and unemployment combined with collapsing farming, mining and industrial production caused by a chronic foreign exchange crisis and the government's onslaught on white business.
Mr Mugabe has blamed the crisis on a regional drought and sabotage by whites and neo-colonialist Western powers.
Ms Williams said that despite the government threats most farmers did not believe they were obliged to leave their land until they had exhausted their legal appeal rights.
Many farmers fear that in practice, however, Mr Mugabe is determined to obtain his end by force. Since blaming the wealthy white minority for his defeat in a February 2000 constitutional referendum the former liberation leader has openly encouraged tens of thousands of militant supporters to invade white farms and businesses and to harass and attack black supporters of the opposition Movement for Democratic Change.
Human rights groups say that dozens of black opposition supporters and at least 10 white farmers have been murdered by Mr Mugabe's supporters over the past two-and-a-half years.

6,000 tickets sold on first day for Canelo vs. Angulo fight, says Schaefer
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Richard Schaefer is reporting high ticket sales for the March 8th bout between former WBA/WBC light middleweight champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (42-1-1-, 30 KO's) and fringe contender Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18 KO's) in their fight pay-per-view bout on Showtime from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. 6,000 tickets were sold on the first day alone, says Schaefer via Dan Rafael.
This fight card is going to be a good test of the 23-year-old Canelo's drawing power, because Golden Boy Promotions didn't go out of their way to match Canelo tough by selecting Angulo coming off of a knockout loss to Erislandy Lara. If the Canelo-Angulo fight brings in huge PPV numbers on Showtime there won't be any point in Golden Boy needing to risk Canelo by matching him against good opposition like Erislandy Lara. They can instead match him against Angulo type fighters while waiting for the big fights to open up against the likes of Miguel Cotto, Sergio Martinez, and possibly Floyd Mayweather Jr. again or Adrien Broner.
Rafael said "On a call regarding #CaneloAngulo. Richard Schaefer says about 6,000 tix were sold on the first day."
Depending on what your expectations are for PPV cards, you either love the undercard that Golden Boy has packaged with the Canelo-Angulo fight or you hate it. Personally, I've not too excited about it, but then again I'm well familiar with all of the fighters that Golden Boy has put on the undercard and I know a mismatch when I see one and there's plenty of mismatches for fans to see on the undercard.
Here's what fans will get for their hard-earned money on the underard:
Leo Santa Cruz vs. Cristian Mijares = easy win for Santa Cruz.
Omar Figueroa vs. Ricardo Alvarez = easy win for Omar over Canelo's brother.
Carlos Molina vs. Jermall Charlo = Molina wins in an ugly fight.
Jorge Linares vs. Nihito Arakawa = Linares wins if he doesn't cut up and cause a bloody stoppage.

To the Editor:
I noticed that Joyce Bant has "peppered" various newspapers throughout the Northwoods with a letter to the editor defending Rep. Sean Duffy's voting record, specifically as to supporting our troops.
In the letter, "Duffy supports our troops," Ms. Bant challenges the TV ad stating Duffy voted against two "troop" bills and does not support our troops. But, as the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel Politifact of Sept. 16 explains, "Duffy was for troop pay at the same time he was against it."
While in the end Duffy did vote "aye," he and his GOP house colleagues essentially played fiscal brinkmanship holding defense funding hostage and threatening to let the U.S. default on its obligations.
First of all, H.R. 1363 was not just a military funding bill, but an appropriations bill submitted to prevent a government shutdown. Structurally, this bill would have funded the Department of Defense for the remainder of fiscal year 2011, but would leave all other government agencies and programs enough funding for only one more week. Furthermore, this legislation would have cut all non-security discretionary spending by approximately $13 billion. It did pass the House and went to the Senate, but the Senate was compelled to append a number of key amendments to ensure fiscal sanity. It then went back to the House where the bluff was called; the bill passed.
Second, H.R. 1540 did increase pay for all members of the armed services by 1.6 percent. However, the Democrats asked for a motion to recommit that would have increased combat pay for soldiers by $100 per month. The Republican House rejected this motion because there were no off-sets. All 184 Democrats present and one Republican voted "yea," 233 Republicans voted "nay."
Democrats support our troops, Republicans use them (http://media.iava.org/iava_action/IAVA_Action_2010_Congressional_Report_Card.pdf).
Third, H.R. 3835, Duffy's "aye" vote allows him to look good by freezing his $174,000 pay, but this bill was just a political ploy setting up a Hobson's choice that required congressmen to vote against extending the freeze for themselves in order to lift the freeze on federal employees. But, then again, congressmen don't worry because they have other funding sources, such as staff funding. Duffy paid his staff a total of $780,342 in 2011. I'm not saying, but I'd be willing to bet, that someway within that budget he will manage to make up his shortfall.
As for H.R. 1012, the 10 percent paycut for Congress. Get real. This was just a GOP public relations gimmick. This bill went back to committee for consideration where it's destined to die a slow death.
According to OpenCongress, Duffy has voted with his party 93 percent of the time and has the lowest effectiveness ranking of "440" for his five sponsored bills (zero made into law) and his 126 co-sponsored bills (six made into law). In fact, Duffy's on pace with Paul Ryan, who after 13 years in Congress has seen only two of his bills pass into law (renaming a post office and modifying an arrow excise tax).
In fact, this Republican Congress has sent only 54 bills to the president for signing so far this year, 14 to rename post offices, 9 to approve real estate transactions and six to renew existing laws.
That record puts this obstructionist Congress on track to be one of the least productive in recent history.
Yet, people vote for them. Remember Duffy's promise for holding town hall meetings in every district so he can meet with his constituents? Does it count, if you give routine short notice of these public meetings, hold them during the day when people have to work, limit the meetings to as little as an hour and then send out preferential invitations so those invited can come and agree with you.
As constituents we are being short-changed.

We've been hearing about Quentin Tarantino's new movie for so long I've been wondering if it will ever arrive. Thankfully, a Christmas release date has been set for Django Unchained, and the promotional push has begun.
Tarantino, along with The Weinstein Co. and Red Bull, have announced an "emerging artist" contest related to Django.
The contest will be judged by the filmmaker, and it challenges participants to create an original multimedia piece, "whether it's poster art, a funny GIF or a short film."
Requirements include the following: The piece must include footage from the Django Unchained trailer or one of the spaghetti westerns that inspired it. It also must incorporate a song from a Red Bull Records artist.
Entries will be accepted from June 15-30, and one winner will receive a pretty sweet prize: a trip to Comic-Con to meet Tarantino.
Django Unchained stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz. Make a plan to see it Dec. 25.

Whenever the word ROZEE.PK is uttered, people seem to relate it to Job Fair. The reason for this is the fact that ROZEE.PK has a legacy of organizing the most splendid Job Fairs in Pakistan. Another such event is about to happen in Peshawar on 28th May, 2013. This event is being held in collaboration with Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IT Board while it is being organized by Gravity IT Solutions.
Job Fairs
Job Fairs are vital for one's career growth as they promise to be an excellent platform where corporate bodies can market and promote their products and services to a wide, diverse audience. One of the most prominent features of Job Fairs is 'awareness' of the job market. Job seekers visit career fairs to be aware of the potential employers in their cities. This is as true for Employers as it is for the job seekers. Employers set up their booths in Job Fair in order to collect CVs of hundreds of potential candidates. On the contrary, many employers also actively participate in Job Fairs solely for the purpose of promoting their company as a brand, a concept known as 'Employer Branding'.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IT Board & ROZEE.PK
Peshawar Job Fair 2013 is part of a special initiative by the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Through this special initiative, an IT board by the name of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa IT Board has been established. This board has a single purpose of promoting IT in the province. The board will be providing subsidiaries to the IT companies of the province, in order to promote IT entrepreneurship. Partnering with ROZEE.PK Job Fair is a step in the right direction, as it will help the IT companies reach potential job seekers in the information technology sector.
Peshawar Job Fair 2013 will begin at 11:00 am in the morning on Tuesday, May 28, 2013. This event will take place in the prestigious Dean's Trade Center in the Cantonment area of Peshawar. If past Job Fairs are any indication, the venue will be filled to the brim. Roughly 30,000 job seekers and dozens of employers from all over the province are expected to participate in this day long event.
The Sponsor
Gravity IT Solutions are the official organizers of this event. Gravity IT Solutions is a Pakistan-based software house and has been working in the IT sector of Pakistan since 2008. They have a large clientele, based in the Middle East and the US with expertise in web solutions, VOIP solutions, cell phone solutions, desktop solutions, PABX and hosting.
A Lively Event
Peshawar Job Fair 2013 will be a breath of fresh air for this region of the country. This will be an opportunity for employers to explore the talent of KP and unexplored yet flourishing market of Afghanistan. It is expected to be a rewarding event for employers of all sizes and industries. It is planned to be an event where Job seekers can interact with employers of their city in a lively manner. Employers can take on-the-spot interviews and shortlist CVs for further consideration. They can also categorize CVs according to the functional area/department for hiring in the future.
Employers, get your booth booked for this job fair and get face to face access to thousands of fresh and experienced job seekers of Peshawar. For job seekers, time spent at Job Fair pays off. It's your chance to acquire knowledge about the career paths and the wide set of career choices offered by potential employers who, ultimately, can offer you your dream job.

In Venezuela, La Negra Hipolita is considered a Latter-day Saint.
So thank goodness for documentary filmmaker Robert Greenwald, a Latter-day Saint in my book.
That is not the spirit that should characterize a Latter-day Saint.
This was the first time a Latter-day Saint elder had preached in that town.
No Latter-day Saint needs to be told that two or three dances a week for his children are out of all sense or reason.
What experiences did the Latter-day Saint boys and girls of Jackson county pass through?
He apparently now has no wish to conceal that he is a Latter-day Saint.
In the faith of every Latter-day Saint, the temple was therefore the holy of holies, the most sacred of all sacred places.
You know she was a Latter-day Saint, you know she was true to her convictions.
This was the first time a Latter-day Saint Elder had preached in that town.

Tom Brady(notes) has been mad before. The three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback has yelled at linemen, thrown his helmet in disgust and had a pointed word or two on the sideline for coaches. But never has the New England Patriots signal caller looked as furious as he was on Sunday night.
After getting stopped by the Pittsburgh Steelers defense, which forced a punt, Brady came off the field and laid into his teammates, screaming at them while coming off the field and later when they surrounded him on the bench. It was the most animated we've ever seen the future Hall of Famer.
The outburst came late in the first half with the Patriots leading their AFC rivals 10-3. Yes, Brady was winning at the time of his blowup. Just imagine how angry he would have been if he'd been losing.
Later on, Brady was asked why he was so angry. "There were plenty of plays we didn't make we should have made," he replied. Penalties, drops and poor execution (particularly on the third-down run before the outburst) would seem to be the culprit. At that point of the game, New England should have been up by more than a touchdown. As Brady knows, let a good team hang around that long, and it's bound to come back to bite you.
[Rewind: Player picks on Tom Brady's haircut]
On Sunday, it didn't. New England cruised to a 39-26 win.
Some teams win statement games. This was a statement outburst by Brady. There have been unfounded whispers that he's become too Hollywood, what with his marriage to a supermodel and the Bieber-like haircut. A loss to the Cleveland Browns last week had people suggesting the Patriots weren't as good as their 6-2 record would indicate.
[Rewind: Tom Brady takes the field]
In one night and with one tirade, Brady quieted all the doubters. Is anyone going to think Brady's soft after that? Is anyone going to doubt that the Pats are the Super Bowl favorites now?

" Brand: Ronhill / Type: Running Accessories "
* Prices may differ from that shown
As a keen runner, you are often placed with the dilemma of how to carry a drink whilst on your run. Carrying a standard 500ml bottle is not ideal, as they will slip out of your hands when sweaty and have no real handle. I purchased the Ronhill water bottle for £2.99 from Amazon a few months back and have been delighted with the purchase.
It has a smooth grip which fits all sizes of hand and so can be used by large and small hands alike. The design with the Ronhill logo on both sides looks professional and the bottle gives the appearance of a much more expensive bottle. Furthermore, the pull-top is comfortable to drink out of whilst on the move and allows you to squeeze the water into your mouth without putting the top in your mouth in case you are worried about falling whilst drinking.
The bottle holds 270ml but they do also do a 500ml one if you are going on a longer run, and there is no place for you to fill up. 270ml is a good amount for a short 15 minute run but if you are going further, then you will need the 500ml version.
The best aspect about this bottle is the cost. It can be bought from Amazon for just £2.99 and this is a steal for any keen runner who does not yet have a wrist bottle. If treated well, it should last just as long as the expensive brands of bottle. In conclusion, I would highly recommend this product.
I run a lot and I've gotten through a lot of wrist bottles, I think my main problem is that I end up nibbling on the sports cap, a terrible habit. As I replace them every few months I don't like to spend a lot so when I found the Ronhill Sports Wrist Bottle on sale in Sports World (also known as Sports Soccer and Sports Direct online) for the amazing price of £1 down from it's RRP of a reasonable £2.50 I bought one with gusto.
The bottle is a standard grip bottle in white with the Ronhill logo up the side (on each side if that makes sense) in black. The screw cap and sports top is black also and the cover is semi clear plastic. It certainly doesn't look like a cheap sports bottle, so I was happy with the looks.
It's easy to fill up, just screw the lid off and fill up with water or isotonic drink or whatever takes your fancy. It will hold 500ml of liquid which is handy as that's the size of a standard bottle of drink if you're buying a bottle and decanting it. The water (or whatever liquid) holds well with no leaks from the screw cap.
In use, the bottle has proven easy to hold and my husband (who has bigger hands than me) finds it easy to hold also, so I'd be confident in recommending this to all types of runner. I think 500ml is a decent amount of liquid for a standard run or power walk, I always find it's just the right amount.
I am so pleased with the Ronhill Sports Wrist Bottle that I've actually gone back to my local Sports World and purchased three more for my hubby and I, they should easily last the year and at less than the price I've paid for one other bottle, then you really can't go wrong. I highly recommend this sports bottle, it is incredibly cheap but very high quality and if you're a keen runner, or you just like to go out socially / sporadically, you can't do better than this bottle for the price.
Highly recommended, a well deserved 5/5 stars from me.

Would you like to save as your currency permanently or for this visit only?
Very nice and luxurious but a bit expensive at times. Gorgeous setting
Pool, coffee shop...all great. And retail shops if you need it for last minute gifts. The fitness center and spa are great and the grounds are amazing for runners/walkers. Beautiful property with everything you need right on site. Food is overpriced and not that great.
room was spacious with a great view (tower) , comfortable bed, friendly staff, breakfast in Sweetwaters was sub par hash browns tasted old breakfast came with biscuits and gravy all on same plate gravy on everything. Breakfast service stops at 11 am (too early) I thought a $20.00 brunch should have prime rib. Toilet in room was kiddie sized
Excellent facilities with a lot of family things to do. Every little things cost money. No free breakfast.
The water area was not a big as some other locations, IE no wave pool, fewer slides, but enough for our kids who are 6 and 9, not to be bored during our two day stay. Upon arrival, the lineup to check in was ridiculously long with only three employees working the desk. Both the male and female locker rooms smelled terribly and we're absolutely filthy. Guest services, once they answered the phone, could not care less. Rooms were run down but the bed was comfy. The pillows felt like old bricks. Trying to reach front desk was like playing a shell game: unwound call, they would eventually answer, out me in hold, I would get frustrated, hang up, call back, and this went in for three different voices until I finally went to the front desk for help. Cleaning ladies were great!
Family room was comfortable with older children. Room did NOT smell clean nor fresh and housekeeping single attempt did not fix the odor. Extra charge on stay was corrected and still does not make me eager to return.
Staff was friendly and efficient. View was fantastic. Rooms were very nice! Breakfast was of mediocre quality. Price was quite steep for a 3 star (it is an honest 3 star however!)
Super Great staff
location They had some wedding guests and they were partying in hallway till 2 am. Complained to front desk 2-3 times, they didn't do anything. So noisy and annoying.

Pilgrims on their way to Deoghar for the Shravani Mela are having a tough time after Jamui and Munger police withdrew night patrolling from Lakshmipur, 85km southwest of Sultanganj.
The kanwariyas, who collect water from the Ganga at Sultanganj and proceed to Deoghar to pray to Lord Baidyanath, look at crossing Lakshmipur by night. It ensures them an early start for Deoghar. Since Monday, the police of Jamui and Munger stopped night patrolling through Ganta forest after receiving intelligence inputs of a possible attack on the personnel. The pilgrims are also stopped at Lakshmipur from where Ganta forest, considered a Maoist stronghold, starts.
Around July 13, when the month-long Shravani Mela began, Munger and Jamui police initiated the special patrolling drive for the pilgrims passing through the 13-km stretch of Ganta forest at night. Jamui police escorted the kanwariyas till Sawalakh Baba Sthan after Lakshmipur after which Mungers Ganta police took over for the remaining stretch.
Last year, too, the rebels targeted an anti-landmine vehicle of the police when officers were on their way back after escorting kanwariyas through the forest.
From Monday, Jamui police handed over the responsibility to escort the kanwariyas from Lakshmipur to the rural police but the security personnel decided against crossing the forest at night.
The pilgrims, however, have no other route to reach Sultanganj late in the night than taking the forest route. In 2012, the dilapidated Ghorghat bride on National Highway 80 closed down, forcing vehicles on way to Sultanganj from west (Patna side) and south (Gaya side) to take the Jamui-Tarapur-Sultanganj road via the Ganta forest. Restriction on proceeding to Sultanganj late in the night has led to resentment among the pilgrims.
Subodh Prasad, a pilgrim from Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, was stopped at Lakshmipur on Wednesday night. He said: We travelled a long way to reach Sultanganj at midnight. But we had to wait at Lakshmipur from 11.30pm to 4am, resulting in a delay to leave for Sultanganj on Thursday.
Jamui superintendent of police Upendra Prasad Singh said: Night patrolling has been temporarily suspended on the road passing through Ganta forest. The police although continue to provide the kanwariyas vehicles security. We just stop them at Lakshmipur late in the night. We allow them to proceed in groups after 4am.

What: Fifth annual Day for Kids celebration
When: Noon to 3 p.m. Saturday
Where: Boys and Girls Clubs of Redlands, Hansberger Clubhouse, 1251 Clay St., Redlands
Admission: Free
Information: 909-798-4599, begreatie.org
REDLANDS >> The Boys and Girls Clubs of Redlands is putting the final touches on its fifth annual Day for Kids Celebration set for Saturday.
Club members and children and families from the community are to the Hansberger Clubhouse off Clay Street for a few hours of fun, laughter and some surprises.
"Mothers have a day. Grandparents have a day. Heck, even a groundhog has a day. Why not kids?" said P.T. McEwen, chief executive officer for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Redlands.
More than 50 sponsors — including the Kiwanis Club of Redlands Noon and the Redlands Quality of Life Department — have helped make this year's "Day" bigger and better, said organizers.
Themed "Full STEM Ahead," the event will focus on science, technology, engineering and math to get youngsters excited about the subjects and hands-on learning.
There will be booths and activities. Free vision screenings will be available for those who pre-register.
"One of the reasons why we do 'Day for Kids' is because it is important for parents and kids to spend time together. And what better place as a family to spend time than at the Boys and Girls Club?" said Mark Davis, club vice president.
Club members from the areas the organization serves, including San Bernardino, Mentone and Loma Linda, will be bused in to participate in the event, which organizers are hoping serves 400 to 600 people, Davis said.
"You don't have to live in Redlands to come to the event," he said.
Disney will be on hand with a booth. Panda Express will offer up some grub. Coca-Cola will provide refreshments.
A rock climbing wall is an added draw, said organizers.
"There's a little bit of everything," Davis said.
Saturday's event will run from noon to 3 p.m. at 1251 Clay St.
Admission is free.

Your hair is like the mighty ocean—it can look wavy, it can look choppy, and it will be depressing when it's gone forever. Love your locks with this Groupon.
Choose from Three Options
$25 for one blowout package (up to an $80 value)
$69 for three blowout packages (up to a $240 value)
$99 for five blowout packages (up to a $400 value)

Each package includes a choice of one of the following:
- A damage-remedy treatment
- A moisture-immersion conditioning treatment
- An express makeover

Stylists use Aveda's plant- and flower-derived haircare line to cleanse locks, then massage the neck and scalp with the therapeutic scent of essential oils. After a final rinse, stylist blow-dries the hair into textured waves, pin-straight sleekness, or flowing curls.
With their blowout, clients also can choose an add-on from the following: a damage-remedy treatment, a moisture-immersion conditioning treatment, or an express makeover. The damage-remedy treatment draws upon the healing power of quinoa proteins and sugar-beet amino acids, which can reverse up to 84% of strand damage to rekindle hair's naturally soft, supple texture. Alternatively, the moisture-immersion treatment calls on buriti and pomegranate oils to add a hydrating layer to strands, improving hair's moisture and smoothness levels by up to 86%. During the express makeover, stylists apply a light touch of makeup to grant clients a tidy countenance before they leave the salon.

Eco Beauty Salon Spa
The stylists at Eco Beauty Salon Spa cultivate natural beauty by using natural products—those made by Aveda, to be precise. Each of the company's haircare, skincare, and cosmetic formulas are made with plant- and flower-derived ingredients, and at least 89% of those ingredients hail from organic sources. These natural products elevate every one of the salon's treatments, from the essential-oil scalp massages that begin each cut and style to the slate of facials that rebalance complexions using customized masks and essential oils. Meanwhile, a happy hour menu available from 11–2 p.m. Tuesday through Thursday includes brow, lip, and face waxing packages, hair cuts and colors, and makeup touch ups.

Woman slashed, set on fireVancouver's 17th Murder of '96
A Vancouver prostitute who was attacked and then set on fire is the city's latest homicide victim. Police were called shortly after midnight Saturday by a couple walking beside the water in Fraser River Park at West 75th Avenue, said Const. Anne Drennan.
"They say what they thought was a bonfire," she said. "Then they saw an arm and a leg coming out of the fire.
"They realized they were seeing a smouldering body."
Police have identified the woman as a prostitute but had not released her name last evening. They said her throat had been slashed.
The woman apparently was dead when she was set on fire said Det. Steve Pranzl.
"It appears an accelerant was usd to set her on fire," Pranzl said.
Witnesses say a dark-colored car with four or five occupants leave the area after the fire was discovered, police said.
A motive has not been determined, and an autopsy will be done.
The murder is the city's 17th this year.
Police are asking anyone with information to call them.

Some of the world's leading experts are in Glasgow discussing how to tackle drug abuse in communities.
The conference follows the death in December of two-year-old Derek Doran, who drank the heroin substitute at his home in Elphinstone, East Lothian.
This prompted a review of methadone programmes and rehabilitation services.
More than 650 delegates are attending the fourth annual National Drug Treatment Conference.
It comes at a time when drug treatment in Scotland is high on the political agenda.
There was concern last month when it emerged that an 11-year-old girl had admitted taking heroin for two months.
Neil Hunter, from the Glasgow Addiction Services Partnership, said there was no overnight solution.
He said: "People who we currently work with have long-term complex problems.
"The approach we have to take is about giving them a stake back in their community."
In the last 18 months, 1,200 people have accessed training, employment and education at the end point of their rehabilitation in Glasgow.
Beyond methadone
The conference is looking at how to treat drug addicts beyond methadone.
Mr Hunter said: "We do have a large methadone programme.
"There is considerable evidence it is very effective."
Professor Jason White, director of treatment services for alcohol and drug abuse for South Australia, said: "Drug services need to be comprehensive.
"They need to offer a range of different options that will suit different people.
"There shouldn't be a belief there is some kind of magic bullet out there that will enable people to become suddenly drug free in a matter of days or months.
"The important thing is any drug rehabilitation is long-term.
"It's a years' long proposition."
Methadone access
Bill Nelles is general secretary of the Methadone Alliance.
He has received methadone treatment for 20 years.
In that time he as held a post as a senior manager in the NHS for a decade, was awarded a degree at the London School of Economic and founded the alliance.
He said: "My life has been improved enormously by having my addiction recognised as something that I've tried hard to change but haven't been able to.
"What I have been able to do is have high quality of life with good methadone.
"I thinks it's great when people recover from heroin addiction.
"I know the reality is that is probably less than half of people who go through even such good treatments as residential rehabilitation.
"So we have to have the full range of options available.
"For the people who do respond to methadone they should be able to access methadone for as long as it can be shown it is helping them."
The Tories have called for different kinds of drug treatment, including abstinence-based rehabilitation.
Cold turkey
Conservative Leader Annabel Goldie said she was concerned there was an "over-reliance on methadone".
She said: "The key to dealing with drug abuse is a range of options.
"It seemed to be in Scotland we did not have a suitable range of options and we didn't have choice.
"There are not enough facilities.
"It really did grieve me to hear there was a facility with beds lying vacant and no referrals and there were desperate souls wanting help.
"There is not a shadow of a doubt there is a role for an abstinence message.
"That is what choice and rehabilitation is about.
"You cannot force someone into cold turkey."

Master's Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Virginia Tech in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of
Master of Landscape Architecture
Landscape Architecture
Dean Bork
April 30, 1997
Blacksburg, Virginia
Accessibility in the landscape has gained increased attention in recent years, and the practice of Universal Design, rather than providing accessible accommodations as separate, distinct elements within the landscape, attempts to address social issues such as segregation by proposing an integrated accessibility and design for a diverse society. However, while proposing integration, it can be criticized as designing to the lowest common denominator and clinging to the idea of a disabled population which must be designed down to. It frequently fails to address the complexities arising from conflicts between the needs of individuals with different disabilities and lacks a theoretical framework which would place the philosophy's ideals within a broader social and cultural context. The poststructural project is posited as such a theoretical framework, and a means for evaluating the principles of Universal Design along with the social and cultural beliefs upon which the accessibility issue rests. Poststructuralism is used to challenge the idea of separate abledisabled populations on the basis that this dichotomous opposition is based on limiting conceptions of disability and fails to acknowledge the complexities which comprise the diverse fabric of society. The project is explored here as an alternative means for advancing the ideals of Universal Design within the realm of landscape architecture. Using a matrix of poststructural practices, social concepts such as normality and disability are examined and deconstructed. Ultimately a reconstruction of the paradigm, a Critically Integrated Design, is proposed based upon the reconceptualization and resituation of accessibility and social conditions.

The Northwest is on the verge of becoming a gateway for crude oil. Three different developers have plans to use docks on Grays Harbor, Washington to transfer crude oil from trains to ships. Other projects are getting off the ground in Tacoma, Vancouver, BC and on the lower Columbia River. There was a huge turnout Wednesday night at an introductory public workshop in Aberdeen, Washington. Correspondent Tom Banse reports the response indicates crude-by-rail may be the region's next big environmental controversy.
There's a growing glut of oil in North Dakota, eastern Montana and Canada. It's part of the shale drilling revolution, which promises to turn North America from an energy importer to an exporter. Pipelines can't keep up with the gusher of production. Port of Grays Harbor CEO Gary Nelson says that creates new opportunities in places that could use them.
Nelson: "Gosh, in this community, we've certainly had our ups and downs with sawmills and pulp mills. Up and down, up and down. You can never sit back on your laurels. You've always got to look for the next new thing."
Nelson spoke to a standing-room-only audience in Aberdeen, Washington. The crowd was testy… some not necessarily seeing the "big opportunity" part of receiving crude oil by train and transferring it onward on tankers and barges.
Around the sides of the meeting hall, a trio of prospective crude oil terminal operators handed out literature and fielded questions.
Questioner: "What refineries are you planning on feeding this oil to?"
Other people asked about oil spill response, rail congestion, how many jobs would be created, and how big the oil tankers could be.
In many respects, this event represents a public "coming out" for a business opportunity that is catching the eye of multiple Northwest ports and companies. Listen to this roll call.
Near Clatskanie, Oregon, a Massachusetts firm just paid $95 million for a newly established crude terminal on the Columbia River.
In Tacoma, the port just approved an expansion of the Targa Sound Terminal so it can receive crude and other liquids by rail.
Up in British Columbia, energy giant Kinder Morgan plans to greatly expand its pipeline (from Alberta) and Vancouver terminal to supply Asian markets.
In Hoquiam, Washington, U.S. Development Group proposes to build an oil terminal.
Separately nearby, the owner of a biodiesel refinery wants to diversify into crude oil shipping.
Add Aberdeen, and you've got six potential crude oil terminals in the Northwest, versus having just one half a year ago.
Sound: "…Off to the left of the four tanks you see there is where we're going to build the four new tanks…"
On the Aberdeen waterfront, Westway Terminal Company Vice President Robbie Johnson explains why this place appeals to his company.
Johnson: "Grays Harbor is in the catbirds seat for handling crude by rail. It's very close to deep water. It's a desirable location. It's very pro-business. Labor is available. We're very, very excited about this."
Johnson says federal law bans the export of U.S. crude oil to foreign countries. So he expects the customers for the crude rolling our way will be coastal refineries in California and northwest Washington.
Johnson: "We are very good stewards of the environment. We have not had spills. We're very careful."
But the potential for spills is just what they're worried about across the bay.
Cannery workers are shucking freshly harvested razor clams at Brady's Oysters. Co-owner Korey Engvall says his seafood company also cultivates about 30 acres of oyster beds in Grays Harbor.
Engvall: "There's been a large record of oil being spilled everywhere it is transported. So, you know, it makes us very, very nervous. We do not like the idea at all."
Korey's dad, the business' namesake Brady Engvall, previously opposed a plan to export coal from Grays Harbor. That's now shelved. He argues crude would be worse.
Engvall: "This is just a risk we can't afford to take."
Others around the harbor weigh the risks and benefits differently. As of last month, Grays Harbor County had an unemployment rate of 12.4%. That's the second highest among Washington counties. The crude terminal developers in this area say they've received wide support from local elected officials hungry for new, family-wage jobs.

Twitter has introduced a new feature allowing members to apply retro and other filters to their images, replicating Instagram, the popular Facebook-owned photography app which has cut ties with the microblogging network.
The move is part of an effort by Twitter to take more control over its service. It has gradually restricted how much data it shares with outside apps and introduced its own competing versions of them.
The introduction of in-house image filtering software by Twitter was anticipated. Last week Instagram severed a link with Twitter Cards, a system that ensured photographs would be well presented if they were shared on Twitter.

Stats Corner: Alvarez heading for position switch?
Since the Pirates selected Pedro Alvarez second overall in the 2008 draft, pundits have questioned whether the 6-foot-3, 235 pound slugger could stick at third base. Alvarez seemingly proved he could last year, displaying range belying his burly frame, but questions about his viability at the hot corner have cropped up again because of his record-setting — and potentially season-altering — throwing woes.
Alvarez has committed an MLB-high 23 errors this season through Friday, putting him in position to challenge the Pirates' single-season franchise record during the Expansion Era (38 by Dick Groat in 1962) and the Brewers' Robin Yount (44 in 1975) for the record since 1961. Twenty-two of Alvarez's errors are of the throwing variety — already a single-season high since Fangraphs started keeping track in 2002.
While Alvarez still shows decent range, his errant throws have cost the Pirates almost a win in the standings. His errors have allowed about nine extra runs to score compared to an average defensive third baseman. That's the third-worst single-season mark dating back to '02, with two months of play remaining.
Costly miscues
Player Year Error runs
Mark Reynolds 2008 -12.5
Aramis Ramirez 2003 -9.0
Pedro Alvarez 2014 -8.8
Ryan Braun 2007 -8.4
Edwin Encarnacion 2006 -7.6
Source: Fangraphs
Braun was booted off third base for good following the 2007 season, and Reynolds and Encarnacion have spent considerable time at first base and DH during their careers. Could Alvarez follow suit by moving down the defensive spectrum?
Alvarez already has bucked precedent by remaining at third base this long, as Alex Rodriguez, Miguel Cabrera, Scott Rolen, Wes Helms and Chris Johnson are the only players of similar size (at least 6-3 and 225 pounds) to appear in 500-plus games at the position. With Josh Harrison proving adept at third and the Pirates generating grounders at an MLB-high 49.7 percent clip, it might be time for Alvarez to switch corners.

I didn't know what her purpose was but I knew that when i grew up I wanted to do what she was doing. She would greet me every morning with the brightest smile and said that she was always available to help me whenever i needed it. Down in our lunch room we had the City Year area which was this room decked out in City Year paraphernalia where students could go and study or just chill during their respective lunch times. Later in the year Ms. Veronica along with others helped put on the school's talent show and they did an amazing job. I didn't know what her purpose was but i wanted to be just like her….now today i stand before you as the recruitment chair for Villanova University representing City Year on the campus. I'm hours away from turning in my application and (hopefully) months away from my dreams coming true and getting that email or phone call that says that I've made it and that i'm an official City Year corps member…I'm on my way to #makebetterhappen #CITYYEAR #giveayear #changetheworld

The employer of one of two American journalists being detained by forces loyal to Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi (MOO'-ah-mar gah-DAH'-fee) says they've been allowed a visitor for the first time after more than a month in captivity.
James Foley was covering the conflict in Libya for the Boston-based news agency GlobalPost when he was captured April 5. Foley has been detained with Clare Morgana Gillis, a freelance journalist who wrote for The Atlantic and USA Today.
A GlobalPost spokesman said Wednesday an intermediary visited Foley and Gillis in Tripoli and said they were in good health and being treated well.
Dozens of relatives, friends and well-wishers attended a candlelight vigil Wednesday evening on the steps of Harvard University's Memorial Church.
Foley's family is from Rochester, N.H. Gillis' parents live in New Haven, Conn.

Aik Hoe dim sum restaurant is one of the most popular in Penang - currently run by the owner-proprietor who's the son of the woman who founded the restaurant more than 6 decades ago. He's very hands-on - making the "baos" himself each morning.
Aik Hoe's dim sum seemed tastier than those served elsewhere in Georgetown's old quarter, but its claim-to-fame are its steamed pork-ribs, and the rich, tasty "nam yue bao": a steamed bread roll encasing a piece of fatty pork belly marinated in "nam yue" (Chinese fermented beancurd), dark soysauce, Shaoxing wine and other aromatics.
The "nam yue bao" at Aik Hoe are smaller than those elsewhere, and they are only ready to be served around 9am onwards. Other dim sum items are available from 8am.
