Matt Cain Injured Himself Doing WHAT?!
Have you ever injured yourself accidentally?
SF Giants pitcher Matt Cain was placed on the "disabled" list yesterday. Apparently, he cut his right index finger...making sandwich triangles!

According to the Chronicle,
"Cain wants it known that he had finished the ham-and-cheese sandwich and grabbed the knife so he could cut it.
"I went to cut it, to make it fancy in triangles," he said. When he dropped the knife he tried to catch it, and now he is on the DL for the second time in his career.

Got two minutes? For Katy Perry, you do! The behind-the-scenes footage from her mega hot GQ cover shoot is hotter than the booby-baring cover itself... and that was pretty blazing.
Katy Perry and her bodacious, perfect boobies cover the February issue of GQ. Like whoa!
Suit, no tie! That's how Justin Timberlake, the sharp-dressed, good-looking and charming gentleman, covers the Men of the Year issue of GQ.
Harry Styles of One Direction is 19, but he is the heartthrobbiest in a group of heartthrobs, so it's no surprise that his sexuality came up not once but twice in the band's British GQ cover feature. First, his bisexuality was questioned, which he shot down. Now, it appears that the journalist grilled the teen over how many sexual partners he has had. You stay classy, GQ.
Boston is famous for many things. Like The Boston Pops, the Boston Celtics, The Boston Bruins, Harvard, The Boston Marathon, Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market and countless colleges and universities. Yes, Boston is now known for other things too, like being named American's worst dressed city.

Robert L. C.wrote a review of The North Face Rock 32 Bx Tent: 3-Person 3-Season on May 31, 2012
The Perfect Tent for Hotter Climate.
I have had a lot of outdoor sleeping experience. I wouldn't call it camping but, more surviving. I served 6 years in the Marine Corps and have been issued all types of gear. Some of this gear was great and some I wouldn't put it in my pack if they paid me. The tents that I was issued all lacked good ventilation. These tents were so hot that I would usually spend my few hours sleeping in my gore tex sleeping bag cover, if not on top of the cover, with a mosquito netting thrown over me. I have had personal tents from other makers but, they were just cheap last minute purchases right before a weekend trip. I have been looking for a good 2 man tent so that my girlfriend will be comfortable on a weekend trip. Keeping her dry and as cool as possible were my biggest concerns. No better way to ruin a persons desire to cmap than to make their first trip miserable. This tent is well ventilated, dry, durable and not too heavy. The tent will sleep 3 people but, fits 2 with gear perfect and will let you keep your gear inside as well. I like the green color because it allows me to blend in better with the surroundings. The tent overall is made well and is a great price compaired to other tents that are made cheaper. Hope this review helps others make a great purchase.

A Syracuse police lieutenant has resigned amid an internal investigation that may result in charges.
The police department has concluded its investigation of Tracy Jensen, who was a lieutenant until he resigned earlier this month. Police Chief Garret Atkin could not comment on why Jensen was investigated or when the internal investigation began.
Jensen had been with the department for about 15 years and has acted as its spokesman.
Robert Rice, the city manager, said he received a letter of resignation from Jensen on Feb. 20, who did not give a reason for his departure.
When reached by phone on Wednesday, Jensen said that he left the department because he and Atkin sometimes didn't "see eye to eye." He added that he was not aware of an investigation.

The beginning of the closing statements from the prosecution and defense painted wholly different pictures of Supervisor Ray Nutting on May 8: That he was a hypocrite from the prosecution or that he was simply a man who made inadvertent mistakes from the defense.
Politicians are held to higher standards than normal citizens, Deputy District Attorney James Clinchard said in his closing statement. Invoices, votes and loans show that Nutting cannot be held to that high standard and is guilty of filing false documents, not recusing himself from a conflict of interest vote and receiving loans from other county employees and contractors.
Nutting signed Form 700s — forms that show economic interests and incomes for an elected official — under penalty of perjury. In looking at what he did not include — reimbursements from Proposition 40 grants — political opponents George Turnboo and Helen Baumann would have used the missing info in campaigns. The information could have been used by voters to determine whether to elect or retain Nutting and whether he had any biases.
Nutting is a smart man, having gotten a bachelor's degree and run businesses, Clinchard said, and has been filling out Form 700s since 1992. It is not a defense that he may not have known or mistook the laws, he said.
As for the reason for a need to extend time needed to complete work required to be reimbursed, Nutting said in court it was to spray herbicide on his property. Clinchard showed the jury a document that stated it was due to an "economic situation " that "postponed the start of the project to December 2008." Nutting can tailor his testimony, being that last witness, to testimony previously heard in the trial.
Despite the fact that Jeff Calvert testified that the work could not be done 45 days after the deadline — April 15, 2009 — which was meant for doing paperwork, Nutting testified that he had sprayed herbicide after the date.
Clinchard asked the jury to consider whether Nutting was a member of the Board of Supervisors and whether he acted knowingly and willingly in voting. He had a financial interest in keeping the El Dorado County and Georgetown Divide resource conservation districts funded as members of each made up the chairman or vice chairman of the Sierra Coordinated Resource Management Council — the joint powers association that cuts the Prop. 40 checks on behalf of Cal Fire. Votes by Nutting put more than $600,000 in the coffers of the two RCDs. In turn, Nutting and his brother Tom received between 15 and 20 percent of all Prop. 40 money for the county between 2009 and 2012. Possible or potential conflict of interest can be shown in this.
Nutting is supposed to have "absolute loyalty" and "undivided interest" to the Board of Supervisors, Clinchard said, but clearly does not. As a grantee of Prop. 40, he receives money for himself. In this way, he wants to keep SCRMC happy. That way, he can use the money to transition his ranch back to farming timber — not a need of the citizens. Nutting had said previously that he did not want his land to become a "money pit."
But, Clinchard reiterated, Nutting did not show this on his Form 700, making it impossible for the public to evaluate Nutting's "divided interests." Instead, Nutting told them to "Trust me," Clinchard said.
As for illegal bail, it does not matter the purpose of or what the people giving the money to Nutting called it, the act of giving money with an agreement for return is what constitutes a loan. Giving it to a spouse first to give to Nutting still counts, as does knowledge of where the money came from — which Nutting did, Clinchard said.
Nutting accepted the bail, filed the false documents and voted on conflicts of interests "again and again," Clinchard said. He violated not only the public trust, but the law.
Defense attorney David Weiner, as in his opening statement of the trial, said that the facts of the case were not in dispute, the interpretation was.
Nutting is "obviously a woodsman. He can make mistakes, he can bumble," Weiner said. Nutting is used to relying on other people and their advice, such as on the Board of Supervisors. He can't sit and read every single document that goes through the office. Others review the documents and tell him whether to sign or not. That was why Nutting hired Mark Stewart to help with the Prop. 40 documents. And when the District Attorney's Office began looking into the documents, Nutting amended his Form 700 from 2009 to show the income. He was not trying to hide anything.
Meanwhile, the prosecution did not contest where $26,000 in Nutting's account came from after Jennifer, Ray's wife, itemized them in court. Multiple times during the trial, the prosecution did not cross-examine or rebut statements.
Weiner said Nutting was not a "polished witness" and had a tough time testifying. He's a politician and wants to talk, rather than get to the point and move on. He's emotional. He made mistakes, but said what they were. He did not mislead.
As for the 15-20 percent, after asking Marilyn Meixner, who gave the numbers, what the percentage would be taking Tom Nutting's part and money that had not yet been paid to Ray out, the number became 5 percent. But the higher numbers "established a picture (the prosecution) wanted to paint." That of favoritism for the county supervisor.
"Phony maps" showed the area of Nutting's ranch and his brother's trust to not be high-risk fire areas; defense maps and witnesses said it was mid- or high-risk.
The bail, meanwhile, were not loans — there was no agreement to pay the money back, only the assumption.
The money he voted on for the RCDs did not, as the prosecution would have the jury believe, go to Nutting or the SCRMC. There was no benefit for Nutting; he was treated no differently than any public citizen with a Prop. 40 contract. Voting to improve Missouri Flat Road benefitted Nutting, but was not a conflict of interest, Weiner pointed out.
"There's only one victim here: It's my client," Weiner said. "He made some mistakes." But he told the truth, as he said he would.
The rebuttal by the prosecution was to begin after a lunch break.

On Wednesday, the Lords voted by more than two-to-one against a ban but on Thursday MPs used something called the Parliament Act to push it through.
This means the Lords' opinion has been overlooked and hunting will be banned from February 2005.
Pro-hunt campaigners are preparing to ask a court to make the ban illegal.
The Act has only been used three times since it was introduced in 1949, and pro-hunt campaigners argue that it's wrong to use the Act.
They also say the ban does not take into account some aspects of another law called the Human Rights Act.
Some campaigners are threatening to ignore the new laws, and say they will try and stop the MPs who voted for the ban from getting elected again.
Rural Affairs Minister Alun Michael said he was confident pro-hunting protests would not prevent the new law from coming in, saying: "I don't believe that they will succeed. "
The ban will outlaw fox and deer hunting and hare-coursing with dogs.
What do you think about the ban?

Ex-Corrie fella vows never to return to Coronation Street
In his book "The Great Northern Cook book" (which is wonderful, by the way) Sean say this: "By 2005 I knew my tenure on the Street had to end. An editorial decision was made that Martin should embark on an underage relationship, something that made me uncomfortable. I picked up my coat and left in September in that year ending 21 years of massive fun with a fabulous on-set family."
And now Sean has confirmed his future is in cooking and cheeses rather than the cobbles. He told the North West Evening mail:
He said: "I will act again, but never with Coronation Street. They were very rude to me when I left, I would rather walk down any other street even if I had a nail in my shoe."
Since leaving Corrie, he as established The Saddleworth Cheese Company and spent a lot of time cooking in Michelin-starred restaurants.

Aw. I think it says a lot about how things are behind the scenes to be honest even if it was 2005.
- 27 January 2013 at 17:32
Well I don't miss him on Corrie although I applaud him for standing by his beliefs that the storyline was unacceptable. To be honest I thought the article might have been about Steve Huison who played Eddie Windass. I definitely think they should bring him back . After all he has a grandchild on the way and Owen and Anna are not working as a couple for me. We are expected to accept that Eddie just left , Anna wasn't bothered, and he's not spoken of anymore .
- 27 January 2013 at 17:36
Not above using the Street's massive media profile to promote his endeavours though, eh? Even though they were so "rude" to him. I'm with Scott.
- 27 January 2013 at 18:16
His two kids were very young at the time and he was worried they would be bullied at school. Didn't Bill Roache complain of something similar - and he was only accused of being boring?! Why shouldn't he use his connection with Coronation Street? It's on his cv and, hey, business is business.
- 27 January 2013 at 18:32
I am glad he has built a successful career and so he is able to tell the truth about his departure. His character may not have set the steet on fire, but after 21 years he surely deserved better. I have thought for a long time that there is one rule for those who get an "explosive exit" and another for those who are seen as dispensable.

"Sean Wilson, who played Martin Platt in Coronation Street, left the show in 2005 after it was claimed that he was unhappy with the direction his character was going."
- I lost interest after that bit. Soap characters losing character integrity to ratings?
Eh? He'd have better luck convincing the world the pope is Jewish, rather than it's unfair, unjust, and unheard of, for soap characters to be made to behave outrageously out of character!
Once an actor treats their character portrayal as precious - they're finished.
- 27 January 2013 at 20:46
He is an actor and Martin was just a role. I am sure Katy Ford does go around bashing men on the head in real life. Jane Danson was never a prostitute, Natalie Gumede is not bully etc, etc. Is he not able to tell fact from fiction?
- 27 January 2013 at 20:48
I give him credit for standing up for what he felt was an inappropriate storyline, whether or not he's just an actor and Martin was just a role. There are some lines that should not be crossed and that was right up there with having an incestuous couple on the Street or some such other disgrace. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean you should.
Unfortunately, his exit from Corrie appears to have played out exactly the same as any other workplace. They love you when you do what they want and forget you the second you say you want to leave; doesn't matter how many years you were there or what your role/relationship was. Such is life.
- 27 January 2013 at 21:37
I did like Martin Platt during his time, but its strange how he is just forgotten about and barely mention. I think a few months after his departure he was mentioned by David, like going to visit him. But now in the past few years he has barely got a mention, or his current living conditions. And considering a lot the Platts have gone through in the past few years, with David being an evil little git, to his wedding to Kylie, Gail locked up in prison, Joe's death, etc, its strange Martin wouldn't be concerned. I understand they can't really "show" Martin if Sean Wilson doesn't return, but he can be mentioned, or somehow make his presence felt, not like he just vanished into a black hole.
But anyway, glad he is having a good career in cheese making, as long as he is doing well and having a good life that's all that matters. Perhaps one day in the future he might be convinced to make an appearance of some sort, that's if he isn't killed off-screen.

Edit Article
wikiHow to Make Ghee
Ghee is a type of clarified butter that is prepared by boiling butter and removing the residue. It is composed almost entirely of fat. It is widely used in Indian cuisine and is also the main ingredient in some of the ayurvedic medicines.
- 1 pound unsalted butter, preferably organic and unsalted, but ultimately the best butter you can find
- Skillet with high sides
- Fine-mesh sieve
- Cheesecloth
1Heat a skillet on medium-low heat. When it becomes hot, add the butter, stirring constantly.
2Continue to stir the butter with a wooden spoon until it has melted entirely. This process should take 5 minutes or less.
3When the butter is entirely melted and begins to bubble, turn the heat on the burner down just a bit. You don't want the butter to be boiling so vigorously that it spills and spats out of the skillet.
4Cook for another 25 to 30 minutes until the milk protein starts separating on both the top and bottom of the pan.
5With a fine-mesh sieve, skim the milk protein from the top of the butter. Discard. When you're finished with this step, the only milk protein you should be able to see will be sitting on the bottom.
6Turn the burner back up to medium-low and wait for milk protein bits at the bottom of the pan to begin to brown. This should take 5 to 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the burner before the milk protein bits begin to burn.
7Allow ghee to cool for approximately 5 minutes.
8Strain ghee through cheesecloth on top of a mason jar to remove the toasted milk protein bits. Discard.
9Store your ghee in a cool area or in the refrigerator. Ghee solidifies a bit at room temperature, and becomes a solid once set in the refrigerator. When solid, it can be used as a spread.[1]

The Thursday wrap
The New York Times reports that the United States is "laying the groundwork for operations to kill or capture militants implicated in the deadly attack on a diplomatic mission in Libya." That's great news. And the account would be more accurate if The Times stopped sugarcoating things by using the word "militants." They're terrorists. Call them that. ... The Obama campaign this week implored women to "vote like your lady parts depend on it." We're still trying to confirm that it was removed from the president's official campaign website after Michelle threatened Barack with removing his "man parts." Ahem. ... Vice President Joe Biden admits that the American middle class has been "buried" over the last four years. Incidentally, that coincides with the first (and we hope only) term of the Obama-Biden ticket. ... The PJ Tatler reports that prices for items such as paper, pencils and building materials could soar by up to 20 percent if the U.S. Green Building Council adopts a foreign-pushed standard for forestry lands. We're all for conservation; none of us are for suicide. ... The Weather Channel says it will start naming winter storms. The first three names will be Athena, Brutus and Caesar. And that's raised the ire of some, who actually complain that storm-naming must be coordinated with and/or by the federal government. Throw another log on the fire, honey, it's nuts out there.

MacDirectory review of FotoMagico 3
by Sarah - Wednesday, July 28, 2010 - Permalink
Several years ago I was asked to create a going-away slide show for the director of a volunteer center where I did a good deal of work, which taking hundreds of photos and shooting hours of video over a period of years. First, thinking it would be an easy way out, I tried out iMovie's new (at the time) "Ken Burns" pan-and-scan effect and discovered that I had little control over the results. In theory, Final Cut Pro would do what I needed but the interface made the workflow far from ideal. Finally, I settled on After Effects to build the move on each image (batch rendering overnight) and Final Cut to assemble the project for the DVD. The end result was a farewell worthy of my colleague and friend at the cost of several evenings of hard work. If I had had Boinx Software's FotoMagico 3.5, I could have done just as well in a single evening with a single application. FotoMagico is the real Ken Burns effect, giving the auteur full creative control over the project.

Having four daughters and working in book publishing presents both opportunities and challenges as far as finding appropriate books for the girls to read. They are all at different levels, and they all have different interests so it's not as simple as passing on a sweater or pair of pants from one to the next. What I find happens is that if a kid isn't interested in the book that's up for discussion, it sits on a shelf or next to the bed or worse!
I recently came up on this really great website, amightygirl.com, that aims to empower girls by offering a range of resources that relate to books for girls. Its tagline is "The world's largest collection of books, toys and movies for smart, confident, and courageous girls". It's fun to play around and see what they've come up with, like a list of best female book characters, which includes the likes of Madeline, Hermione Granger, Nancy Drew and Ladybug Girl (impressive to find a way to fit all of those lovely girls into one sentence). I was also pleased to see a book listed on the same subject as an upcoming book on my own list about the inspiring Irena Sendler who saved 2,500 Jewish children in Poland during WWII, which means they must have great taste!
I wonder if any of you have thoughts on wonderful book ideas for girls? There was this book I read over and over as a kid that so resonated with me called Somebody Else's Kids by Torey L. Hayden, a psychologist who writes nonfiction accounts of her work with children. It's about four kids of varying ages with serious and very different issues and how their remarkable teacher goes to great lengths to help them. I suppose my love of narrative nonfiction started when I was young. I just ordered it for my oldest to read and look forward to finding many more books with strong, female protagonists that will empower my girls and help them reach their highest potential.

The issue of "tribe" seems to be emerging as the next big spiritual
issue. Tribe is now gaining the same popularity ( and over use)
mysticism did a few years ago — and its often used just as
One's "tribe" is not one's friends — though one's friends
may be part of one's tribe. It's not one's family — though one's
nuclear or extended family may be part of the tribe. It's not one's
professional association — though members of a professional
association (like the AMA, the Bar Association, the National Fire
Fighter's Union, etc.) might be part of the tribe.
The fact is, in today's modern, technology laden, economically
complex, flatland world, the "tribe" has become equally complex. Yet,
for the term to have any meaning at all as a spiritual Truth (the
focus of which is the first chakra), our modern "tribe" must fulfill
the symbolic roles that spiritual Truth demands.
To begin to decipher just who your modern tribe really is, we first
have to understand its function, both biologically and
spirtitually. The easiest way to do that is to look at a simplified,
"generic" tribal structure:
A Generic Tribe
Originally one's tribe was made up of collections of extended
family units. Five, ten, fifteen or more children, parents,
grandparents, and great-grandparents (or the equivalent thereof if, as
in much of ancient Polynesia, family units as we understand them were
not part of the culture) banded together into a single cohesive unit
that worked together to insure the health and welfare of all. Women
looked after each others' children; fathers fought and died for each
others' sons and daughters. Leaders made sure all tasks were completed
properly; authority figures kept the tribe on track; organizers
attended to every detail; and members applied their gifts and talents
to the good of the whole.
The idea that a tribal member might go without having their needs
met was abhorrent. All gifts that were honored and put to use were
entitled to compensation — i.e. tribal support.
This reciprocal relationship between individual members and the
tribe as a collective is at the heart of what "tribe"
is. The tribe provides the spiritual, physical, and yes even monetary
support (in money based societies) structure; in return each member
provides their spirtual, physical, and monetary support.
Obviously this is a very simple model of something that, in
reality, is far more complex and loaded with human imperfections. The
natural, healthy hierarchy of leadership that emerges in any group of
humans is sometimes replaced by a dominator hierarchy; members of the
tribe have personal issues, or issues with other members that intefere
with the needs of the tribe as a whole getting met. Some members'
gifts might not be valued, or be less valued than some others', giving
rise to jealousy and resentment by those members. There seems no end
to the morass of very human problems that can and have been
experienced in the long history of the tribe.
Tribe in Modern Society
Up until the industrial revolution, the tribe grew with our
cultures, but the basic model outlined above was still
recognizable. In the countryside, where 80% of the population still
lived, the country village was each citizen's tribe, as Rhiannon Ryall
so quaintly describes in West Country Wicca. In the cities,
clubs and associations played much the same role. One might have to go
to an office to work, but tribal loyalty went to the club one spent
one's off work time with.
Then came the industrial revolution, and with it a whole new set of
challenges. Radio replaced the village or club for
socializing. Families now stayed home, ears glued to the radio; later,
TV would take over. The noisy automobile forced houses back from the
streets, so it was no longer possible to wave and chat with passers by
as they clopped along on their horses or in their carriages. As roads,
railways, and eventually air travel increased individual mobility, the
extended family slowly gave way to the nuclear family. Then, toward
the middle of the 20th century, even that began to fragment. Not only
were the next door neighbors strangers, the person in the next chair,
with whom we watched TV every night also became a stranger. It has
been estimated that 95% of families spend 80% of their leisure time
watching TV. In many homes, the set is on 24 hours a day, seven days a
week — a de facto member of the family.
The physically localized social unit fractured; the fragmentation
caused divorce rates to rise, and a whole new set of problems to
emerge among children.
In the confusion, respect for authority plummeted. And as it
dropped, because authoritative systems are an endemic part of all
life, the yearning for respect and credibility sky rocketed. Modern
society has become, on the one hand, addicted to its ever-growing
litany of alphabet soup: credentials, licenses, certifications, and
diplomas in its attempt to address that natural yearning for
authority, and to replace the word of mouth credibility tribe once
provided; while on the other its distaste for those
"authoritarian standards" keeps pushing the bar to gain
those credentials and diplomas lower and lower. Today half of all high
school graduates are functionaly illiterate, according to one
survey. And one does not have to read many recently published doctoral
Where's The Tribe?
So where's the tribe in this morass of modernity? Many say it no
longer exists because it's no longer needed. But "tribe" is
an archetypal energy that cannot be so easily dismissed. It's there,
though it's now ignored, actively criticized, or misunderstood — even by
experts. The result is the near epidemic rate of mental illnesses such
as multiple personality disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder,
depression, and destructive addictions such as drugs and alcoholism;
not to mention family dysfunctions such as the divorce rate, child and
spousal abuse. Misunderstanding and ignorance of the tribal archetype
is also at root cause for the widespread misanthropic view of
authority, because order and structure are two of the primary
functions filled by the tribal archetype.
So just where is the tribe? The largest sense of tribe most people
can sustain is national identity, that loyalty we feel to flag and
country. The fierce pride we feel when we hear the national anthem
played; when "our team" wins gold in the Olympics, even
though we've never met even one member of "the
team". They're compatriots, one of us, they hold our flag high
and stand stock straight as the national anthem is played before
millions, so they are "ours".
But there is a more immediate tribe as well, one that is of more
concern to us right now. The immediate tribe is made up of the people
you do know, probably fairly intimately. They're the ones you
choose to "hang out with" when you're not at work (or maybe
when you are); they're the ones you plan parties and outings with;
they're the ones who turn to you for help; and the ones you turn to
when you need help at 2 am, because you know they won't be
upset. They're the ones whose authority and opinions you respect. They
provide you a much needed sense of order and structure in today's
crazy, modern world; and in return you provide order and structure to
the whole.
It's probably not a group of people you even chose
consciously. Because tribe is an archetype, it must exist in some form
or another, easily or uneasily in the current social structure. It may
be the extended biological family, it may be a group of friends; it
may be co-workers; it may be fellow church, coven, or circle members;
it could be folks you share a hobby interest with. It might even be
your bar buddies. It is not necessarily your blood kin or your friends
or those you may like to think of as your tribe.
In the tribal identification game, actions speak louder than words
or fantasies. You might claim your church is your tribe, but if you
spend five nights a week at your gaming group and only one day a week
with fellow congregants (and that during Sunday service), guess what?
Your gaming group is your tribe, not your church group. To
double check that, think about who is more likely to call you for help
— or who you're more likely to call. Is it Joe from church or
Sally with whom you've now attended three gaming conventions?
Reflections In The Mirror
Identifying your tribe is important because your tribe can tell you
a lot about yourself. An honest look at your present tribe will tell
you how you fit into that tribe and provide a reflection of who you
are right now, and where you are in your path work:
– Are you the group's leader?
– Are you "a member of the pack," doing the work, but
never taking charge?
– Maybe you're still the learner.
– Are you the performer, instantly "on camera" when
you're around your tribe?
– Do you always have to be the center of attention? "The bride
at every wedding and corpse at every funeral?"
– Perhaps you have a profound effect from the background, just
because you are who you are.
– Maybe you're the volunteer, always eager to help out.
However you fit in and interact with those that make up your tribe,
it is one of the most accurate statements of who you are right now.
And if you can be honest with yourself, you can learn a lot about how
much you've grown, and where you need to grow, by paying attention to
how you interact with the other members of your tribe.
The other half of the equation is what your tribe does with
itself. Just as your interactions with the people that make up your
tribe are important, the primary purpose of your tribe's existence
says a lot about what you consider important and the experiences you
seek out. From camping to sewing, from sports to cooking, from the
board room to the bedroom; there are no rights or wrongs, no goods and
bads; what is important is to note the activity and the sense of
purpose you gain from participating in it. Then, and only then, can
you make a decision about whether it is an accurate statement of who
you are, and who you wish to become.
If you discover you're conflicted about your tribe, you're not
alone. Now-a-days it's hardly uncommon to claim as your tribe a group
that really isn't. It's also not uncommon to feel guilty for spending
so much time (and money) engaged in the activities of the tribe,
especially if those activities are not considered socially important
or acceptable, or if your tribe isn't supporting you and your work —
a problem very common for those in spiritual service outside of
traditional religions.
Unfortunately, tribal membership can be neither changed nor
transformed if the existence of it isn't acknowledged in the first
place. And once acknowledged, it must then be accepted. To paraphrase
a good many teachers: In order to get where you're going you must
first be where you are.
If your tribe is your bar buddies, and membership in that tribe is
about to explode your marriage, acknowleding the problem to your
spouse is a good first step in both saving the marriage and putting
you in a place to begin to step away from that tribe.
Even an acknowledged tribe can become problematic when you've
outgrown it. You pull away a bit (or they do), become bored, and yet
all too often get sucked back in. Habits of word and action snap you
right back into the tribal routine. But the incongruence is still
there, and gnaws like an itch that can't be scratched.
This can be a deadly trap for those who take their spiritual growth
seriously. Out growing the tribe, leaving them behind and discovering
a new tribe, is an essential part of growth. One that takes courage,
discipline, and sometimes a willingness to jump into the void, not
knowing what's going to come next. But jump you must, or that tribe
will become the concrete that arrests your spiritual development until
death finally forces you to move on.
So who is your tribe? What do they say about you? Are they
propelling you forward in your evolutionary path, or holding you back?
Dare to look in the mirror they represent.

How to Make a Disease Disappear
by Professor Malcolm Hooper
and Margaret Williams
February 2010
For a long
time Invest in ME have been critical of the workings, decisions
and policies of the Medical Research Council.
Given that
biomedical research, including gene research (which has shown
that in people with ME/CFS, there are more gene abnormalities
present than are found in cancer sufferers) has demonstrated
that the psychiatrists who hold such sway at the MRC are
comprehensively wrong about ME/CFS, nowhere could such criticism
be more appropriate than in relation to the PACE Trial.
Professor Malcolm Hooper has
made a formal complaint to the Minister of State responsible for
the Medical Research Council.
A 442 page report, under the
title Magical Medicine: How to Make a Disease Disappear, has also
been produced detailing the failings of the Medical Research
Council and specifically the PACE trials.
The report
addresses the background to the MRC "PACE" Trial on "CFS/ME",
the biomedical evidence that disproves the assumptions of the
MRC trial Principal Investigators, the many extremely disturbing
issues surrounding the PACE Trial, and illustrations from the
Manuals used in the trial. The document
contains the background to consideration of and quotations from the Manuals for the Medical Research Council's PACE Trial of behavioural interventions for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Myalgic Encephalomyelitis together with evidence that such interventions are unlikely to be effective and may even be contra-indicated.

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) -- Miami Dolphins linebacker Kevin Burnett is sidelined by a foot injury, raising doubts about his availability for Sunday's game against the New York Jets. Burnett was added to the injury report Thursday, when he did not practice. He missed much of training camp with a back injury but started the Dolphins' first two games. Reserve defensive tackle Tony McDaniel (knee) and receiver Marlon Moore (hamstring) also sat out practice. Starting cornerback Richard Marshall (back) and reserve receiver Anthony Armstrong (hamstring) were limited. Backup running back Daniel Thomas has practiced fully the past two days after missing Sunday's win over Oakland with a concussion.

There are things about her past Arianna has never had access to. No matter how hard she's tried to just remember, something. Anything. All she has is who she is now. Having been raised to fight for the right to survive, she was doing just that, for the Tiger Lord's secret community. But when events happen that irrevocably change her place within the community, she goes on the hunt for revenge. Which sees her working for the King of the Southern Realms - a man hellbent on ruling as much of the continent as he can get his hands on. And at the expense of people's personal freedoms. Driven by greed, power and a fear of the magic he seeks to eradicate. Which puts the friends she never imagined she'd make, in lethal danger. Can Arianna manage her own desires with the need to save so many others? What begins as a quest to save her future becomes not only a fight for the future safety of the continent, but also sets her on a collision course with the past she thought she had forever lost.

Dravid has played, and always will play, in the considerable shadow of the venerated Sachin Tendulkar.
It is something the multi-talented Dravid has managed with great maturity, for his record stands up favourably with that of the Little Master.
A career average of 54.3 in Tests marks Dravid as one of the game's greats, even if his unfussy, compact style means his best efforts often go un-noticed.
Nicknamed The Wall because he borders on the impenetrable, and certainly Australia could find no way through when he scored an unheralded 180 to help VVS Laxman sink them at Calcutta in 2001.
Dravid will be determined to make up for a poor showing on his only previous tour Down Under, where he managed just 93 runs in six innings.
Dravid is versatile enough to be a major threat in one-dayers as well as Tests, as evidenced in the 1999 World Cup where he was the tournament's leading run-scorer.


text: Jesus was not forsaken by the Father on the cross. He was reciting Psalm 22 about himself: "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" It goes on: "I can count every one of my bones. These people stare at me and gloat; they divide my clothing among them. They cast lots for my robe." It is most important to realize that Jesus has a human and divine nature. It was his human nature that suffered and died, not his divine nature.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
The Forge for decades has had one of the most impressive wine cellars in town. However, with the relaunch of the "new" Forge a few months ago, enophiles on a budget have a reason to celebrate. Along with its revamped menu and décor, the Forge has introduced an enomatic wine system that allows patrons to sample more than 80 wines for a fraction of the cost of buying the whole bottle. The eight stainless-steel-and-glass wine stations are divided up by varietal and taste (think Red Powerful). Patrons simply insert a black Forge card into the machine and choose which size pour they want (from one to five ounces). From there, this upscale vending machine dispenses the wine directly into the glass. Ever wanted to taste a superexpensive wine like Opus One? Well, now you can for $13 for a one-ounce sip. Serious tipplers need not worry, though. There are more than 600 bottles on the main wine list, and owner Shareef Malnik's renowned cellar is still intact. Despite the economy, customers still pay more than $5,000 for bottles such as the 1975 Château Haut-Brion, Premier Grand Cru Classé. Ask for a consult with executive sommelier Gino Santangelo, who has been with the Forge for 35 years. Not only can he suggest the perfect wine pairing with the bone-in 18-ounce filet mignon, but also he leads private tours of the wine cellar. Regardless of whether you are a wine novice or a snob, spending time at the Forge's grape-friendly bar will leave you tipsy and well educated.
Each season yields a fresh crop of new restaurants. Sometimes they are highly anticipated due to a big-name chef. Other times they are preceded by a sizzling sister eatery in New York or L.A. Or maybe they boast a distinctive dining concept. Sugarcane brought none of those attributes to the table yet took this town by storm in a way few dining establishments have. The draw here is a grand, breezy, and urban-chic décor; an electrically charged bar scene pouring distinctive cocktails to a comely clientele; and a diverse menu of fresh, tasty New American cuisine at unexpectedly affordable prices (just about everything is $12 or less). The fare, orchestrated by chef Timon Baloo, is triumvirated into raw bar selections (oysters, crudos, sushi); foods cooked in a robata grill (chicken yakitori, squid, Japanese eggplant); and globally influenced small plates such as pork buns, lobster rolls, crisp sweetbreads, and goat cheese croquettes with membrillo marmalade. We didn't see Sugarcane coming, but we're sure glad it arrived.
Chef Michael Psilakis has put together the lightest, brightest, most brilliant hotel menu in town. Chef de cuisine Jason Hall executes the cooking impeccably: Lobster-and-sea-urchin risotto brings a bowl of yogurt, caviar, fried herbs, and a barely poached egg, and then the lobster and risotto get mixed in. Smoked octopus is shockingly good with diced pineapple, sopressata sticks, and paper-thin ringlets of fennel. Greek "paella" is jammed with clams, mussels, Merguez sausage, and jumbo head-on prawns in a saffron-spiced sauce spiked with Espelette pepper. Restaurateur Donatella Arpaia has trained the waitstaff to be one of Miami's finest, the room is gorgeous, and the outdoor terrace of the 15th-floor restaurant affords breathtaking views. Yet Eos charges noticeably less for its superior dining experience than every other top-tier hotel in town: Most plates, including that paella, run $10 to $16, and a dessert of two tropical fruit cannoli shells made from dried pineapple and filled with papaya, mango, passion fruit foam, and baby basil sprouts on coconut-vanilla tapioca goes for $6. Then comes the complimentary plate of petite sweet treats. Psilakis has already won a James Beard Award, and Eos was a Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant this year. Did we mention $5 valet parking?
All comebacks are impressive by dint of courage to change and the grit to make it work. But not all are alike. Chef Allen revived his long-standing landmark restaurant in brilliant fashion last year via refurbishment and a revamped menu concept. Solea first opened its doors around that time, but the highly anticipated venue in the glittering new W Hotel South Beach was greeted with sparse business and sluggish reviews. The jump-start occurred with the hiring from Por Fin of Marc Vidal, who had been named one of the top young chefs of Spain in 2005. Vidal installed a menu of small bites ($6 to $16) such as Iberico ham and fried egg over crisp potatoes, chanterelle mushrooms, and truffle oil; rice dishes and paellas served in cast-iron pans ($24 to $28); Mediterranean seafoods ($24 to $34) such as branzino with lentils, smoked sweet paprika vinaigrette, and potato purée; and meat dishes ($21 to $34) found nowhere else — like braised veal cheeks with porcini-Idiazabal cheese toast. Critics have loved the changes, and the swank indoor/outdoor space is buzzing. Solea was a James Beard semifinalist for Best New Restaurant this year. That's what you call a comeback.
It's easy to imagine you're lounging on the French Riviera as this two-level beach-club-cum-restaurant pulsates with pretty Europeans and presents peerless panoramas of the ocean (Atlantic, not Med) — as well as of the glimmering pool scene right by Côte's open-air tables. A DJ spins world music, bartenders blend tropical fruit cocktails, palm trees sway in the balmy breeze, and good-looking waiters carry plates of pristine cuisine imbued with the ingredients and flavors of the Mediterranean. The last translates to salad Niçoise (natch) with seared tuna, purple potatoes, and pert sherry vinaigrette; custardy tomato-and-Brie quiche; raw bar selections; jumbo prawns and branzino fish fresh off a sizzling grill; homemade pastas; and a Kumomoto oyster bloody mary shooter topped with celery foam. Prices are nicer than at Nice, with most plates ranging from $15 to $30. Yet while it is easy to imagine you're on the Riviera, there really is no need to — dining at La Côte, right here on beautiful and sexy Miami Beach, is as good as it gets.
Dear Cheapskate:These are just a few reasons I am leaving you for good:1. A cubic zirconia engagement ring.2. That used copy of the Sticky Fingers LP, without the zipper, that you gave my parents as a gift for their 50th anniversary.3. Your insistence on taking buses to restaurants in order to save on parking fees. Except when we go to Morgans and you get to park free in the spacious lot outside. Come to think of it, taking me to Morgans is the only smart thing you ever did. I remember seeing your eyes light up as you scanned the menu prices. "We can have panko-crusted tofu ($9), grilled rib lamb chops ($22), and coconut cake for dessert ($6)!" you exclaimed with glee. I was excited too, not realizing you meant we would share those three dishes. I can't wait to go out with somebody who will buy me my own meal. Chef Cory Smith's food is always so fresh and homespun, and the wines, as you pointed out more than once, aren't marked up nearly as high as at most other places. In fact, it was the only restaurant where you ever purchased a bottle. God, I used to die inside every time you would ask a sommelier at some fancy establishment for a taste of a certain wine, and then a taste of another, and another, and then refuse to purchase any on the grounds "it wasn't good to mix too many grapes." Morgans' workers are so nice, and the 1930s home atmosphere and wraparound porch are so, well, comforting and even — dare I say — romantic, or at least they will be when I'm finally sitting there with somebody, anybody, but you.

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Friday expressed a willingness to postpone next year's planned consumption tax hike at the last minute if the economy is hit by an event of similar magnitude to the 2008 financial crisis.
"If that happens, we will protect the national economy," Abe said at a House of Councilors Budget Committee meeting. "To protect employment, we must avoid the wrong economic policy choice."
At the same time, Abe stressed there is no such serious situation at present.
He also said he has given no consideration to dissolving the House of Representatives for a snap election anytime soon.
The consumption tax rate is set to be raised from 8 percent to 10 percent in April 2017. Speculation is growing, though, that Abe may put the tax hike on hold and call a snap election for the Lower House.
"If the tax hike does not lead to a rise in tax revenue, it would make no sense," Abe said. "It's natural to avoid a path that puts the Japanese economy in danger."
Abe also denied that he has any plans to compile a supplementary budget for fiscal 2016, starting next month, including stimulus measures.
Abe's comments follow recent warnings from Nobel laureate economists Joseph Stiglitz and Paul Krugman that Japan's economy is too weak to withstand another tax hike.
The economy initially expanded under a policy mix dubbed "Abenomics" that included monetary easing and fiscal stimulus.
However, China's slowdown, weaker-than-hoped-for growth in other economies and lackluster spending by households and businesses have combined to keep Japan's growth well below forecasts. Cheaper oil prices, meanwhile, have slowed progress toward a 2 percent inflation goal that Abe and his advisers say is needed to revive the "animal spirits" that will get growth back on track.
The economy contracted at a 0.3 percent annual rate in October-December and is forecast to shrink again in the current quarter.
The sales tax was due to rise to 10 percent from 8 percent last October, but that increase was deferred until April 2017. Now many here are betting that with an election for the Upper House of the Diet looming, Abe will once again postpone that hike.
"The headwinds that are facing us are far stronger than what the policymakers expected," said Masamichi Adachi of JPMorgan in Tokyo. "You can make an argument that it's a good excuse to change the original plan."
An April 2014 tax hike from 5 percent to 8 percent was an urgent priority to try to rein in Japan's public debt, which has ballooned to more than twice the size of its GDP. But the move led to a sharp economic contraction, and despite a barrage of monetary stimulus, the economy has meandered in and out of recession ever since.
Inflation has also remained flat. Core inflation, which excludes volatile food prices, was zero in February, data released Friday showed. Earlier in the week, the government downgraded its assessment of the economy for the first time in five months.
Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga, one of Abe's most powerful allies, says the tax will be raised unless it is clear the hike will hurt the economy so badly that tax revenues would fall.
That is where the economic big guns come in, as Abe seeks advice ahead of the Group of Seven leaders summit scheduled to be held in Ise-Shima, Mie Prefecture, in late May.
TV news showed Stiglitz and Krugman addressing Abe and other top officials. Both men urged Abe not to raise taxes.
"I'm a great admirer of the policy moves that have been made by Japan, but they are not good enough, and partly because all the rest of us are in trouble as well," Krugman said.
According to documents posted online, Stiglitz called for boosting demand and countering rising inequality by retraining workers, improving social services networks such as child care, and improving oversight of the financial sector.
Since Abe earlier promised to go ahead with the next tax hike unless the global economic outlook is too weak, a pessimistic assessment of the global situation could provide a pretext for another postponement, while deflecting criticism of his own policies and Japan's domestic economic performance.
"If the Japanese economy is not doing well, it's the failure of Abenomics," said Adachi of JPMorgan. The consultations with top foreign experts allow Japanese leaders to say: "Our policy is working and it's the fault of the severe global environment."
However, he noted, if Abe delays the tax hike he likely will call a snap general election, just as he did in late 2014. That is not an easy choice for the head of a ruling coalition that holds a two-thirds majority in the Diet's powerful Lower House.
Economist Tomo Kinoshita of Nomura Securities Co. puts the likelihood of a delay at 40 percent.
"It's not the main scenario, but the possibility of a delay is growing," he said.

Feldman's Heroics Lift Amherst Women over
Senior Co-captain scores eight points in final 2:59 to seal thrilling 53-50 win
AMHERST, Mass. - Senior Amherst Co-captain
Liza Feldman (Sudbury, MA) scored all eight of her points
in the final 2:59 of Saturday's Little III thriller, accounting
for Amherst's last eight points as the Jeffs held off their arch-rivals,
53-50, for their first win over Williams in two years before a
capacity LeFrak Gymnasium crowd of over 1,400.
Feldman's heroics capped a game full of them, as Eph senior Co-captain Rebecca Brooks (Simsbury, CT) kept the visitors in the game almost single-handedly at times, posting 10 points in each half, including her 1,000th and 1,001st points of her career which tied the game at 45 with 3:47 remaining. For the Jeffs, who opened up a 13-point first-half lead thanks to a 21-2 run which put them up 27-14, senior Co-captain Naomi Sullivan (Hudson, MA) and freshman forward Sarah Walker (West Hartford, CT) did most of the damage, combining to score 18 of the Jeffs' 27 first-half points.
But stingy defense kept the Ephs in the game, as the visitors held Amherst scoreless over the final 6:37 of the first half, closing to within three at halftime thanks to a 10-0 run. First-year Kate Stumpo (Walpole, MA) fueled the run with a pair of threes, and the Eph deficit was only three at the break.
The second half saw much of the same back-and-forth action, as the Jeffs went on a 9-0 run to take a 41-33 lead before the Ephs fought back, scoring eight straight points to tie the game at 45 inside the four minute mark.
But Feldman, who came off the bench for the first time all year in the game, re-energized the hosts with a running jumper and a pair of free throws. The senior, who sprained her ankle Tuesday against Smith College and did not play against Babson, came through in the clutch despite being limited to seven minutes for the game, and the Ephs never tied the game again.
Stumpo's desperation three at the buzzer fell short, and the Jeffs had their first win over their arch-rivals since the 1997-98 season.
Sullivan posted a team-high 17 points and a game-high 11 rebounds for the Jeffs, capping a week which saw her average 22 points in the Jeffs' three wins with her first double-double of the season. Walker finished with 10 points and also had a game-high 11 rebounds, her fourth double-double of the year and her sixth double-digit rebound game, and Amherst first-year Sally Hamill (Scituate, MA) finished with nine points on three three-pointers, as the Jeffs connected for four treys for the game. Junior forward Charlotte Taylor (Harvard, MA) turned in another blue-collar effort, picking up seven rebounds and three steals, while first-year Sara Bozorg (Amherst, MA) played every second en route to a seven-point, five-assist game.
For Williams, Brooks finished with a game-high 20 points, while Stumpo was the only other Eph in double-figures, with 10. Eph junior Liz Tilley (Queens, NY) posted a game-high seven assists, and added two steals to her five-point, five-rebound performance.
The two teams combined for 53 turnovers in a game that was very sloppy at times, as the Jeffs earned their first win over their arch-rivals since their stunning 57-54 upset in Williamstown two seasons ago. The senior class of Feldman and Sullivan had never previously beaten the Ephs at home.
The Jeffs, who improve to 7-4 with their third win of the week, are next in action on Tuesday night at Little III foe Wesleyan University, while the Ephs return home to battle Hamilton College. The two arch-rivals meet again in three weeks on Friday, February 4, for a 5:30 p.m. tilt at Williams' Chandler Gymnasium.

Asus PA246Q Calibration bug?
JOHNNYCAKES wrote:
I just received a new Asus PA246 and went to calibrate using the Colormunki Display by XRite...
I calibrated in User mode and it came out fine... issue is, when I disconnect my MacBook Pro and/or reboot, the monitor reverts back to factory setting
do you mean changes from "USER MODE" to "STANDARD MODE"?
and I have to go into the System Preferences menu and select the profile.
do you mean you have to reselect "USER MODE" in the monitor menu or do you mean load the calibration profile on the Computer.
Further to Newsy's comment, are you saying that
- If you simply disconnect the monitor and then reconnect it without shutting down or rebooting your computer then the monitor reverts to a default (factory) settings.
- Or are you saying that Rebooting your computer causes the monitor to revert to default (factory) settings.
- All the above.
- Or is it that the graphics card in your PC is reverting to default settings.
Unfortunately I cannot help with calibration software as I use a Spyder3.
But suggest you ensure, before you do a full calibration you set the Monitor to "USER" and reset the User setting to default.
If your Colormunki is at all like the Spyder it will check your ambient light and then help you set the brightness setting and the colour temperature settings on your monitor. It also should suggest the preferred Gamma setting.
Once the Colormunki has done its thing it will write a profile for the graphics/video card to use. There is no need for the settings to be saved to the Monitor. The only settings that need to be set on the monitor (AFAIK) are the colour temp, gamma (2.2 for Win) and brightness with all other settings (colour mainly) set to default
When you boot your computer the video card (with profile) will set the display colours.
If the Monitor switches from "USER MODE" to one of its other inbuilt modes (such as STANDARD etc) without any intervention from you then there is something wrong with the monitor. I would suspect that this is not the case. That would be like your TV adjusting the volume when you turn it of and on.
However if it stays on "USER MODE" and has not changed the Brightness, Colour Temp and Gamma settings as show when you access through the menu, then the problem clearly lays with the computer not loading the correct profile when it boots, or the Colormunki sofware not saving the profile correctly after the calibration.
Is there a way to load it into the monitor user settings permanently?
You can set the monitor by manual adjustment within the menu but you cannot load in profiles (AFIAK).
There is no need to in any case, as you are relying on your video card to do the heavy lifting for calibrated display.
Also the first few times I loaded the profile it booted with a green color cast which I believe I read was a bug issue
Is this a reported bug with the Monitor or a video card/computer bug?
When you say loaded the profile infers to me software/video card/computer issue, not monitor.
The Computer should be "loading" the profile on boot up. Why then do you have to load it. Cannot you set it as the default profile for your video card to use.
Thank you
Ryder - All my comments are based on a Win machine but I would think that a Mac in this area would not be a whole lot different.
Hope it works out for you as I would find your issue very frustrating.
Good luck

ROYAL OAK, Mich. -- Presidential hopeful Mitt Romney ended his final sweep through Michigan thanking supporters at a rally that included a live rendition of his campaign theme song performed by rocker/rapper Kid Rock.
Romney, who introduced Rock as "a friend" and "a guy that makes great music," said Rock agreed to perform after discussing what Romney would do for Michigan as president.
"He had a piece of paper and had written down some questions for me," Romney said at the rally Monday night at the Royal Oak Music Theater. "He said, 'Mitt, if you are elected president will you help me help the state of Michigan?' I said I would."
Romney said he then asked Rock -- a Michigan native like the Republican candidate -- to play a concert for his supporters.
The rapper performed his 2010 hit, Born Free, in front of a massive American flag, but did not address the crowd. He ended the appearance by shaking hands with Romney.

New Delhi: Soaring onion prices pushed food inflation to a 10-week high of 14.44% for the week ended 18th December, a worrying development that could prompt the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to hike key policy rates next month to check price rise.
"This is an area of concern no doubt... there has been real increase in the prices of certain food items. We are looking into it," finance minister Pranab Mukherjee said.
Food inflation rose for the fifth consecutive week on the back of high onion prices that rose by almost 40% on an annual basis to touch Rs75-80 per kg in the retail market, reports PTI. However, the prices have declined a little since then.
The price rise was also quite steep for vegetables, fruits and protein-based products like milk, egg, fish and meat. The price rise in these products ranged between 17 and 30%.
"So far as onion is concerned, we have taken care of it... but the fluctuation in milk, fruits, vegetables and certain commodities have also contributed to the inflation. We are waiting for the full monthly figure," Mr Mukherjee said. "Weekly variations are there. Whether these are corrected in the coming week is to be seen. But I am still holding that year-end inflation may be around 6.5%."
Mr Mukherjee's estimate of year-end inflation, however, is higher than the 5.5% that prime minister Manmohan Singh indicated earlier this month.
Experts say that the rise in food inflation by 2.31 percentage points from 12.13% in the previous reporting week would force the central bank to review the pause on a short-term rate hike at the quarterly policy review meet on 25th January 2011. Food inflation was at 21.29% a year ago.
The recent hike in the petrol price by about Rs3 a litre also contributed to pushing up the index of fuel and power by 11.63% year-on-year during the week. The rise in index on account of the petrol price increase was over 25%.
"If food inflation persists, the RBI may go in for a moderate hike of 25 basis points in short-term rates at its next policy review," said Crisil chief economist DK Joshi. On the impact of the fuel price hike, he said: "What is of more concern to overall inflation is the global fuel price. We believe that fuel price will remain a challenge for the government in 2011."
Rising inflation, saw the government put off a decision to raise the price of diesel yesterday, even as global crude prices soared to $92 a barrel, the highest in two years.
"There could be some monetary action before the end of the fiscal if inflation remains at such a high level for sometime," said Anubhuti Sahay, economist at Standard Chartered Bank.
For the week under review, the price of cereals declined marginally by 0.70% y-o-y, while that for pulses fell by 10.79%. The price of rice went up marginally y-o-y, while that for wheat declined by 5.51%. Potato prices also declined on an annual basis by almost 24%. On a weekly basis, however, the price of most items—barring vegetables—moved in a narrow range.
The last time food inflation was this high was in the week ended 9th October when it was 15.53%. Food inflation has been in the double-digits through most of 2010. But the government was looking forward to a moderation in food inflation after a normal monsoon.
But after a brief decline in November, food inflation again started to climb on account of the rise in onion prices. Onion prices have shot up due to destruction of crop in some parts by unseasonal rain and hoarding. Last week, the government announced a ban on exports of onions and also withdrew import duty to increase availability in the domestic market.
Lanco Infratech Ltd said it would undertake a Rs1,000 crore contract for constructing a portion of the Aligarh to Kanpur section of the National Highway in Uttar Pradesh.
"Lanco Infratech Ltd has emerged as successful bidder for two-laning of Aligarh to Kanpur Section of NH-91 in UP," the company said in a statement.
The scope of work involves two-laning of existing road, repair, widening and reconstruction of three major and 29 minor bridges, construction of five new Rail-over-Bridges, 4 toll plazas and other wayside amenities.
The project involves an investment of around Rs1,000 crore. The grant from National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) would be Rs287.91 crore.
On Thursday, Lanco Infra ended 0.32% up at Rs62.65 on the Bombay Stock Exchange, while the benchmark Sensex gained 0.66% to 20,389.07 points.
Infrastructure services provider Pratibha Industries Ltd said it has won two projects worth Rs73.28 crore for construction of residential complexes.
The order from Mahindra Lifespace Developers Ltd is for construction of a residential building 'Mahindra Angelica' in Goregaon, Mumbai. The completion period of the project is 24 months.
The second order is from Luxora Mist (Soham Group) for construction of two residential buildings in Thane, Mumbai, with a completion period of 20 months.
On Thursday, Pratibha Industries ended 1.94% up at Rs68.45 on the Bombay Stock Exchange, while the benchmark Sensex gained 0.66% to 20,389.07 points.

The reason I ask is I've been thinking about writing a app for my phone that will load thread titles in a feed page. Then if I click on the thread, it will load in a browser. The reason for this is, navigating pages on a small device is a bit unwieldy. Obviously if you want to read the thread it's necessary unless all the data was made available which I doubt and page scraping is ****. A nice clean app that does this would be very cool. If anyone has seen it, it would work similar to the default news feed app on Android. Swipe left and right to get to other forums and then downward scrolling to view thread titles.

Points of Hope, the church in the Cineplex movie theatre, will close after its service on Sunday.
The church opened at the movie theatre in the Truro Power Centre in January of this year and has had a small congregation, up to about 20 people.
According to an email to the Truro Daily News from the church's pastor, Bill Martin, the church body wasn't large enough or financially secure to continue.
"We connected with a few people and made a difference in a few lives. That is what ministry is all about. We did not connect with enough to make a viable church, at least a church in an expensive building," Martin said. "Seven months is a good test, but we have not met our objective so it is time to surrender."
The church set its goal on reaching a younger generation, largely people who have never or rarely attended a traditional church.
"We wanted to reach people in a new way, with a greater emphasis on relationship, both within the church and the community. We were not able to connect in that way and to continue would have meant competing with existing churches and that was not our purpose," said Martin.
The pastor said it was a great learning experience and he'll take time to assess a "number of options" then put those lessons to work.
"It was a great learning experience. I learned a lot about Truro, a lot about people, and a lot about reaching out. These are valuable lessons that will serve well in moving forward."
Martin refuses to call the venture a failure.
"We cannot sustain the church in the theatre, but we will not give up. There is a great need out there and we are called to address it."
The final service for Points of Hope at the Cineplex will be Sunday at 9:45 am. Everyone is welcome to attend.
