Epic discoveries made in the early 1980's that nucleic acids could function like enzymes provided the logical basis for an RNA-only world. In such a world, RNA is pictured as a molecule that can store useful information, undergo replication, change by the process of Darwinian selection and carry within itself a range of catalytic activities. This description is not too different from the known functions of RNA so it is not too difficult to imagine. But what of the developments that led to this RNA-only world? Where did the nucleotides that were used as building blocks for the first RNAs come from? Considerable research effort was directed to this problem in the 60s and 70s which subsequently subsided. In view of the RNA-only world hypothesis a resurgence of effort to find more effective pathways to the first nucleotides takes on added importance. That is the focus of our research at the present time.
Thusfar my laboratory has made several contributions to our understanding of possible prebiotic pathways for the synthesis of the first nucleotides which I consider to be quite significant. We have found efficient conditions for the conversion of aminoimidazole carbonitrile (AICN) and aminoimidazole carboxamide (AICA) into adenine and hypoxanthine respectively. We have developed new and more effective methods for phosphorylation of nucleosides and nucleotides. We have developed a lead-catalyzed system for the synthesis of the aldopentoses with yields of about 30%. Presently we seek to improve the system for ribose synthesis and to resolve some of the other remaining problems in the prebiotic synthesis of activated adenosine and inosine nucleotides.
Professor Zubay did his undergraduate work and some graduate work at the University of Chicago, where he worked under Henry Taube and Willard Libby. He received his Ph.D. in physical chemistry at Harvard under Paul Doty. Postdoctoral work was done in England where he worked under M.H.F. Wilkins, P.B. Medawar and Hugh Huxley. Further postdoctoral work was done at Rockefeller University in the laboratory of Fritz Lipman.
Currently he is on the editorial board of two journals: Origins of Life, Chemtracts Biochem. and Mol. Biol.

Harding scores 21 as Southeast beats Carroll
Jerrick Harding and his Southeast teammates had led Bishop Carroll since the first quarter with athleticism and defensive pressure, but the Golden Buffaloes couldn't pull away.
So with a two-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, Harding took over with an increase in offense. The sophomore guard scored 10 points in less than three minutes, then knocked down a pair of key free throws with 25 seconds left in Southeast's 50-44 win.
"Coach told me to shoot the ball," Harding said. "And my teammates got me the ball when I was open. They helped me, and that's what we needed."
Harding, who hadn't scored since the 5:17 mark of the first quarter, hit three-pointers on back-to-back possessions early in the fourth quarter. He drove down the middle of the lane the next time down the floor and scored with a finger roll, then added a 5-foot floater on the following possession. With 1:50 left in the game, Southeast's lead had grown to 10 points.
But Carroll, outmatched in speed and athleticism, made a final run that nearly spoiled Harding's surge. Sophomore guard Patrick Carney hit a pair of fourth-quarter threes. His last one came with 38 seconds left and capped a 9-1 Carroll run that brought the Eagles to within two points.
Harding converted both shots of a one-and-one opportunity and teammate Jordan Murdock did the same with 8.3 seconds left to seal the win. Harding scored 12 of his game-high 21 points in the fourth quarter.
"That's the maturing we've needed," Southeast coach Melvin Herring said. "He's starting to listen and make the right decisions. We're a young team. We have a lot of sophomores out there, so we need to be smart and listen and mature. We saw some of that tonight."
Carroll, which struggled against the speed and athleticism of Southeast's backcourt, limited the turnovers by containing Southeast in transition. But the Eagles couldn't overcome a flat shooting night that saw the home team go 3 for 20 from the three-point line.
"We saw some good things tonight and took some steps forward," Carroll coach Lonnie Lollar said. "We didn't match up with their quickness very well, and that was evident early but we were able to get back into our game."
Carroll overcame foul trouble for starting forwards Matt Price and Connor Evans. Price fouled out with two minutes left, and Evans missed most of the second and third quarters.
Carroll's comeback was aided by Carney's offensive rebound and put-back with a minute left, followed by his three-pointer from the right corner to pull within two.
Southeast, which hit just 3 of its first 9 free throws, hit five in a row to end the game.
Southeast — E. Garnes 6, J. Harding 21, E. Payne 5, D. Love 2, R. Oyugi 6, O. Loudermilk 1, J. Murdock 9.
Carroll — M. Wilbert 4, L. Hohl 13, P. Carney 10, M. Price 4, K. Demel 2, C. Evans 11.

Hi, this is Russ,! I will give you the benefit of 28 years experience and teaching. If indeed the spark dies, then returns after it cools for a while, the solid state/coil is going bad. Replace the solid state or coil which ever it is equipped with. This is a rather common occurance in that it will "open" after it is used then "close" upon cooling. Thanks and good luck!
what is the color of the spark in the bottle of spark tester mine is some kind of orange thanks for your time

Published: December 15, 2011 at 5:03 PMSweet! One of my suggestions came to fruition (can't find the original thread - it was years ago). The tie between Drew Carey and the improv at Comedy Warehouse is obvious and could make for an excellent attraction. How to keep it funny and clean, however... less obvious.
Maybe they could do an alternative nighttime adults-only show.
Published: December 15, 2011 at 5:05 PMLooks like maybe the early stages of DHS starting to get some much needed love. Narnia shut down, Sounds Dangerous flushed and the clearing out of the i.d.e.a.s. group a few years ago, clear the way for some new attractions and possible expansion. I know a lot of people would like to see a new country added to EPCOT first, but DHS is a bit of a disjointed mess that could use some California Adventure type of love.

Directed with grim, artful efficiency by Don Siegel (Charley Varrick), Private Hell 36 is a thriller that revels in the claustrophobic tawdriness of its characters and is much smarter and potent than its gears-turning plot first reveals. The stellar cast includes Dean Jagger as the detectives Captain and Dorothy Malone as Duffs understandably worried wife.

Published: September 25, 1988
A BRIGHT SHINING LIE John Paul Vann and America in Vietnam. By Neil Sheehan. Illustrated. 861 pp. New York: Random House. $24.95.
Some wars are known for their heroes. Our parks are populated with statues of stalwart generals on rearing horses. But the war in Vietnam is known for its victims: the Americans who died and were maimed there for ''reasons of state'' that few can now remember, the Vietnamese casually sacrificed by rival military machines. It is fitting that our monument to the dead of this war should be a slash in the earth with a roll call of the fallen.
But there were, of course, heroes in Vietnam, men who fought and died bravely and were loyal to their comrades; men who thought they were upholding an ideal, whether or not their leaders at home really believed in it. The effort to connect the struggle and sacrifice of these men with the politics of the war, the truth of the battlefield with the evasions and delusions of the policy makers, is the difficult work of literature.
Our war in Vietnam continues to haunt our consciousness. This is not only because of the 58,000 American lives lost, for both world wars took more. Nor is it because we were defeated, for most Americans eventually came to prefer even that to the endless bleeding for a cause their own leaders could not explain. Rather it is because Vietnam is the graveyard of an image we held of ourselves: America as the defender of the oppressed. In Vietnam we were confronted with ourselves as an imperial power, fighting not for democracy but to demonstrate that Communist-led ''wars of national liberation'' were not the wave of the future.
Thus so much of the literature on Vietnam is one of disillusion: in the Vietnamese, in our leaders, in ourselves. ''A Bright Shining Lie,'' as its very title suggests, is rooted in that disillusion. It vividly dramatizes and holds up to merciless scrutiny the Washington geopoliticians who ''wanted native regimes that would act as surrogates for American power,'' a United States military leadership marked by ''professional arrogance, lack of imagination, and moral and intellectual insensitivity,'' an American elite ''stupefied by too much money, too many material resources, too much power, and too much success'' and an admired protagonist who turns out to be something other than he seemed.
As with most works of disillusion, the power of this compelling book lies in its anger. This anger infuses the extraordinary descriptive passages of battle, the machinations of confused or venal men in Washington and Saigon, and above all the account of the man who serves as both its hero and antihero. Immensely long, enormously ambitious, told with an emotion that bursts through its pages, this is an impressive achievement. If there is one book that captures the Vietnam War in the sheer Homeric scale of its passion and folly, this book is it.
Through the personality of John Paul Vann, a man of great courage and also of great cunning, Neil Sheehan orchestrates a great fugue evoking all the elements of the war: the conflict of wills and the self-deceiving illusions of the American military and civilian bureaucracy, the historical forces that brought the two sides into conflict; the terrible battles in which they sacrificed so many of their best; and the men who gave the struggle its meaning.
When a 26-year-old Sheehan first arrived in Saigon as a reporter in April 1962, there were only a dozen full-time resident correspondents and fewer than 5,000 United States military men in the country. At that time the war was still an adventure, and the Communist-led Vietcong seemed a nuisance that the Army of South Vietnam, with American guidance, could easily subdue. The Pentagon's worst-case scenario called for victory by 1965 at the latest, with no more than 1,600 Americans still in the country. (By 1965 there would be almost 185,000, and by 1969 543,000.) But not all the American advisers to the South Vietnamese Army shared this optimism. Among the most outspoken of the skeptics was John Paul Vann, a lieutenant colonel who had served with distinction in the Korean War and arrived in Vietnam shortly before Mr. Sheehan.
Vann thought he had been sent to help a beleaguered democracy defend its freedoms. What he encountered was a South Vietnamese Army that would not fight, an officer corps mired in the corruption of Saigon politics, a military strategy based on the indiscriminate bombing and shelling of peasant hamlets and a feudal social system that surrendered the banner of reform to the Communists.
Vann was a dedicated and gung-ho officer. He had no quarrel with the war itself, any more than did the mostly young journalists who had been sent to report it. ''We regarded the conflict as our war too,'' Mr. Sheehan says of himself and his colleagues. ''We believed in what our government said it was trying to accomplish in Vietnam, and we wanted our country to win this war just as passionately as Vann and his captains did.''
But it was a war that the Saigon Government was losing. A frustrated and angry Vann tried to tell his superiors that the attrition strategy was a failure, that the devastation of the countryside was winning converts to the Vietcong, that the South Vietnamese Army commanders cared more about pleasing their protectors in Saigon than in defeating the Communists, and the country's leaders saw American involvement in their war as a way to line their pockets.

The unambiguously positive jobs report, which showed 114,000 new jobs created in September and the unemployment rate dropping to 7.8 percent from last month's 8.1 percent, caused some predictable reactions. Elation on the left, sober assessment from the center. And conspiracies from the right. Jack Welch, Congressman Allen West, Joe Scarborough, a collection of Fox News hosts, and a motley crew on Twitter all seemed to conclude there was something fishy about the report: the fix is in.
Jack Welch, the former General Electric CEO, was perhaps first out the gate, even speculating about a possible conspiracy theory last night, when he tweeted "Tomorrow employment numbers for Sept. with all the assumptions Labor Dept. can make..wonder about participation assumption??" And when the news came in, it was certain: "Unbelievable jobs numbers..these Chicago guys will do anything.. can't debate so change numbers." That's pretty rich, considering Welch's GE was known for producing quarterly earnings results that were just right.
Is there any reason to believe Welch and his fellow brave truth tellers? No.

THE music line-up for this year's CarFest has been announced, with Texas headlining for the second year running.
The second CarFest event at Laverstoke Park Farm, near Overton, takes places over the August bank holiday weekend (August 23-25), and includes cars, music, food and aerial displays.
Organised by Radio 2 DJ Chris Evans, this year's music line-up features Keane, Jamie Cullum, Jools Holland, Ocean Colour Scene, The Feeling, Reef and Scouting for Girls.
Evans will broadcast live from the event, which raises money for BBC Children in Need. Extra day-tickets have now gone on sale for those who missed out when the original allocation sold out within hours back in January.
This year's CarFest has been extended to include the full day on Friday, August 23, when the action will begin from noon. Cars from Evans' own private collection will be on display at the farm, which is owned by former Formula One champion Jody Scheckter.
A pavilion will house food and drink and the Cakes versus Pies competition will return, judged by a panel of professionals, including food writer Mary Berry who will declare the winners.
Family entertainment will include a silent disco, kids' driving school, dancing diggers, medieval jousting and a Vulcan bomber flypast.
Evans, left, said: "CarFest last year was brilliant – kids, mums, dads, grandparents all had a fabulous time. It's like a huge village fete where everyone can have masses of fun together. I can't wait to do it all again."

Passport photos are a vexed subject for most people, and surely business high-flyers are the same. Still, it's unusual for the quality of one's photo in a company's annual report to be raised at an annual general meeting.
But that was the case for chairman
One shareholder complained that the directors and executives did not appear in a team shot, and that the passport photos used instead were a hard way to judge a person's character.
Another shareholder later rated OneSteel's annual report a solid eight out of 10, although it was unclear whether he was referring to Smedley's and chief executive
The meeting featured the usual verbal jousting between Smedley and AGM agitator Jack Tilburn, both of whom clearly enjoy their turn at the microphone. It was hard to figure out who was trying to out-filibuster whom at several stages of the meeting.

Fun on the Fragrant Isle
How Corsica became our NFP (New Favourite Place)
Corsica is brilliant for so many reasons (none of which include the ferry crossing you'll be pleased to note). Here are a few of the highlights:
1. The food. Mmmmm. Sheeps-milk cheese, charcuterie of all kinds (yep, even donkey), chestnut-flour beer and cakes, great (and cheap) rose, good coffee…
2. The scenery. One minute you're in a cute little Mediterranean port like Calvi, the next you come across a quaint mountain hamlet. You can swim in clear, deep rivers or pure-white sandy beaches. You can hike through the macqui (sweet-scented bushland – it smells like herbs), or stroll through picturesque little seaside villages. There truly is something for all tastes.
3. The ease. Corsica is relatively small, and driving around it is easy-peasy. Well, when you get used to the crazy Corsican driving. The island is very close to both Italy and France…when it comes to road tactics, need I say more? However, once you've accepted the fact that any number plate ending with a 2A or 2B will drive right up your, um, botty, until a) you pull over or b) they hoon past you on a blind corner on the wrong side of the road, you're laughing. The road surfaces are amazingly sound, most are safe and they're all quite fast, making seeing a lot of the island in a short time entirely possible.
4. The people. Corsicans are proud of their island and rightly so. There is a very strong sense of patriotism – they are part of France, but distinctly separate and always Corsican first. The island has a troubled past but no animosity is directed at tourists and we felt perfectly welcome. There is a local language, but the people speak French to tourists (you may struggle if you didn't know any at all, we didn't come across a lot of English speakers), albeit with a strong Italian accent which makes it sound even more exotic.
5. The accommodation. Cheap, clean, fab. What more could you want?
Our highlight? A crazy-cool boat trip (yes, I managed to strap on my sea-legs again!) from Tiuccia around Les Calanches (huge red-granite gorges) and the Scandola peninsula. We saw osprey fishing, dolphins playing in the surf and hundreds of colourful fish. We swam in deep, warm ocean off the back of the boat, and were escorted in style by the glamour-captain fondly named by his crew 'Mister Corse' (say it with an Italian accent and you get the drift). His motto seemed to be "No Shirt, No Worries", or perhaps "There's no such things as a too-dark tan".
All told, we had an incredible 5 days and wished it were longer. Our loop of the island took us to some amazing beaches, bushland, towns and villages. We'd go back in a heartbeat, and for longer. Even for Mike to swig some more Pietra (that chestnut-flour beer) and for me to jam in a little more of that stinky sheep's cheese.

text: What's the one (1) thing these draft profiles from Fox Sports have in common. Vital Statistics Position: DE School/Team: Troy Height: 6-4 Weight: 232 lbs. Ware is an athletic defensive end with good change of direction. He also has a quick first step off the line and uses his hands effectively to get a solid punch. He has some pass rush potential, but he needs to develop more moves and refine his technique. Ware has been a productive end in college, playing for an improved Troy program, and looked dominant at times. His great speed allows him to play sideline to sideline and cover more ground than an average defensive end. His 38 inch vertical leap is unheard of at his position. He has gained 35 pounds since his freshman year at Troy and may need to do that again to stay on the defensive line on Sundays. Ware projects by many scouts as an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme. Vital Statistics Position: DE School/Team: LSU Height: 6-4 Weight: 298 lbs. 2004 turned out to be a very memorable season for Spears. He was named First-Team All-America by Walter Camp, AFCA, and the AP, was a semifinalist for the Lombardi, Bednarik, and Lott awards, and ranked second in the SEC with nine sacks. Spears also posted 49 tackles, 17 for a loss, one interception, and 21 hurries en route to one of the most dominating seasons by a LSU lineman in school history. He has good size, long arms and a ton of athletic ability. A playmaker that can score on the defensive side of the ball, Spears is a versatile athlete that was touted as one of the top tight end prospects coming out of high school. Quick and agile for a big man, he is tough against the run, but he needs to play with better leverage and refine his technique. Spears lacks top speed to play the end and may not be tough enough for the inside. A position change may be in order upon his arrival in the NFL, but he could be a solid end in a 3-4 scheme. Vital Statistics Position: DE School/Team: Virginia Height: 6-7 Weight: 290 lbs. An effective defensive end in the ACC since his sophomore year, Canty suffered a season ending knee injury his senior season. His recovery will be the true key on where Canty will be drafted. If his knee is healed, he could be drafted much higher than if it isn't. Canty still has a lot of upside and could end up being better in the pros than he was in college. He is an athletically gifted, run stuffing end who played that position in Virginia's 3-4 scheme. He has great size for the NFL, with a huge frame and long arms. Many scouts believe he could become a good pass rusher despite never really being given the opportunity in college. He has good strength, and he is quick and agile, which allowed him to be a successful pass rusher in limited chances. He's also shown the ability to play tight end in goal line situations due to his large frame. He could end up as a 3-4 defensive end in the NFL. Position: DT School/Team: Auburn Height: 6-5 Weight: 278 lbs. A defensive end before moving to tackle, Ratliff is a good athlete with desire to improve. He probably has a better chance for success as an end in the NFL, as he does not have the size for the inside just yet. Ratliff has good size with a frame to get even bigger and has the athleticism to be a productive left end in the NFL. His game is still a little raw, and he needs to improve his technique, but he is a hard worker and should continue to develop at the pro level. He needs to learn to play with better leverage and strength, and he must improve his durability, as injuries have hampered him throughout his career. Ratliff is a hard working, team player with some upside as a pro, and will best succeed in a 3-4 scheme as an end.

By Audra Calloway, Picatinny Public AffairsMarch 14, 2011
PICATINNY ARSENAL, N.J. - The Program Executive Office for Ammunition has expanded to add towed artillery systems to the growing list of products that it manages for the military.
On Jan. 20, Army Acquisition Executive Malcolm O'Neill approved the immediate transfer of the Program Manager Lightweight 155 office located here from the Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems, headquartered at Warren, Mich., to Picatinny's Program Executive Office, or PEO, Ammunition.
O'Neill also approved the immediate renaming of PM Program Manager Lightweight 155 to Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems.
Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems is a joint project management office between the Army and the United States Marine Corps, consisting of 15 Army civilians and 11 Marine Corps civilians. The office manages all towed howitzers in the Army's inventory, the M777A2 howitzer for the Marine Corps, and two survey systems.
Because of Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems' geographical distance from its Picatinny-based employees and its increased mission to include the Ground Combat Vehicle, senior Program Executive Office Ground Combat Systems officials recommended that Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems realign to PEO Ammunition, explained Jim Shields, Deputy Program Executive Officer for Ammunition.
The transition will also make it easier to manage personnel matters and allow Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems to engage more frequently with other PEO Ammunition organizations, such as Product Manager Excalibur, which manages the 155mm precision-guided Excalibur artillery round that is fired from the M777A2 howitzer.
"It makes a lot of sense because we will manage artillery systems as opposed to individual pieces," Shields said.
"The artillery propellant, fuses, primers, munitions and now weapons will all be at the same place. I think we'll see benefits when it comes to integration and a significant reduction in interface issues. We'll be able to get equipment to the Soldiers quicker and more efficiently.
"There's software that ARDEC (Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center) is developing and maintaining to support PM TAS (Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems), and now there will be improved opportunities for commonality and leveraging with the software being developed for our mortar fire control systems," Shields added.
"This will help us to re-establish the relationships as we move forward. It's going to be good for Picatinny and will make Picatinny stronger," explained Keith Gooding, with Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems.
"I've noticed already with the little time we've been under PEO Ammo, that we're starting to re-engage with ARDEC, which I think is a good thing. It's positive for us to interface with the expertise that ARDEC has in weapons systems."
The entire Program Manager Lightweight 155 office had been located at Picatinny, so no employees were relocated because of the realignment.
"The biggest change from the program office is how we interface and operate in the PEO," Gooding said. "Different PEOs have different standard operating procedures and policies. I'm still learning how PEO Ammunition operates, how it's structured and how we need to support the organization."
"I know all the employees in that office," said Shields, who was the Program Manager Lightweight 155 before becoming the Deputy PEO for Ammunition. "I know it's a great office with high-performing people who have done tremendous work over the years. I think we're fortunate to have them join the ranks of PEO Ammo."
The suite of systems that has transferred from PEO GCS to PEO Ammunition include:
- Lightweight 55mm M777A2 Howitzer - A joint Army and Marine program, the M777A2 is made primarily of high strength titanium alloy and weighs 40 percent less than the original M198 system it is replacing, making it much easier to transport.
- M198 Howitzer - The legacy 155mm towed howitzer for the Army, which is being replaced by the M777A2.
- M119A2 Howitzer - A light-weight 105mm howitzer used in a direct support artillery role for Infantry Brigade Combat Teams and used extensively in Afghanistan.
- Russian D-30 Howitzer - A Russian 122mm howitzer that PEO Ammunition is responsible for refurbishing for the Afghan Army.
- Gun Laying and Positioning System - A legacy system that provides critical input for the field artillery mission on the digital battlefield, determining precise aiming of cannon artillery.
- M111 Improved Position and Azimuth Determining System Program - An inertial survey system that is not dependent on the Global Positioning System, that is used to provide primary and back-up, precise location, elevation and direction for field artillery cannons, rockets, missiles and Patriot air defense artillery platforms.
Project Manager Counter Explosive Hazard
In addition to Project Manager Towed Artillery Systems, PEO Ammunition will stand up another new Project Manager office in 2012.
PEO Ammunition's Project Manager Close Combat Systems will be reorganized and part of its portfolio of products will be transferred to a new office that will be called Project Manager Counter Explosive Hazard, which will manage counter mine and counter improvised explosive device products.
"PM CCS has a very broad and diverse portfolio and supports hundreds of products," Shields said. "We now have approval to break-out a portion of PM Close Combat Systems' current mission and establish another PM office. PM Close Combat Systems will continue to be led by an Army O6, as will the new Project Manager Counter Explosive Hazards.
"By separating the counter explosive hazard mission out from PM CCS (PM Close Combat Systems), each office can better organize, focus and execute in their specific areas," he added.
"We're grouping similar products within a portfolio so that items like the Self-Protection Adaptive Roller Kit rollers, ground penetrating radars, and other IED-defeat products are managed separately from PM CCS items like hand grenades, demolitions, shoulder launched munitions, non-lethal, pyrotechnics and emplaced munitions."

The Associated Press
BANGALORE, India (AP) — Raj Kumar, a onetime child actor who became one of south India's most beloved movie stars and later was kidnapped by a notorious bandit, died Wednesday at age 77.
Kumar died in a Bangalore hospital of cardiac arrest, Dr. Ramana Rao told the Press Trust of India news agency.
YOUR THOUGHTS: On Deadline blog
Kumar, whose name was also spelled Rajkumar, appeared in more than 200 Kannada-language films in five decades, with millions of fiercely devoted fans. While he largely gave up acting in the mid-1990s, he remained one of the region's best-loved figures.
He appeared in action films, mythological sagas and romance movies in which he was the star attraction.
Although he played rugged, masculine heroes who triumphed over scheming villains in many of his movies, he also was known for never having smoked cigarettes on screen, or never playing a drunkard after his early days.
He was in the news again in 2000 when he was kidnapped by Veerappan, a famed bandit who had spent decades eluding police in the forests of south India. Kumar was freed by Veerappan after 109 days living in the forests with his gang. Local reports said a large ransom was paid, although Kumar denied that.
Kumar's first glimpse into the world of acting was as a child, when he accompanied his father, an actor who performed in plays in small Indian villages.
Kumar soon dropped out of school to act on the stage and later in the movies.
He won more than 20 national and state awards for his contribution to Indian cinema. His fans called him Annavaru meaning "respected elder brother" in the Kannada language.
Movie reviews often told of audiences in cinema halls booing villains who tried to pick fights with him on the big screen. Fans were known to worship his image and pray that his films would be successful at the box office.
He also was a singer whose range extended from dance numbers to classical and devotional songs.
After his retirement, Kumar continued to work behind the scenes as a producer.
Kumar's three sons — Shivraj, Raghavendra and Puneet — all became successful actors.
The regional government in southern India decided to give Kumar a state funeral, according to Press Trust of India.

Exploring Our Suprasensory Nature
Rudolf Steiner
Modern science tells us that we are an insignificant accident in a vast, indifferent universe. Rudolf Steiner maintains instead that we are intimately enmeshed with the whole cosmos, right down to the physical structure of our bodies. In these talks, he explores our relationship as individuals to the spiritual cosmos, in which we will all come to live. The key to being at home in the universe is to understand thesignificance of our individual, physical lives on earth and what happens when we leave our physical bodies behind.
Steiner encapsulates his view of our journey after death and our return to earth and a new life. He describes the "planetary" spheres through which we each pass and their effects on our future. He shows us how our character and actions on earth affect us after we die and how those experiences shape our next physical life.
This is not merely information to be added to our already overabundant store of abstract concepts; Steiner gives us imaginative exercises that help us explore our suprasensory, or spiritual, human nature. We can begin now to act more consciously by recognizing the concrete nature of morality and the real consequences of our present lives.
The introduction and comprehensive afterword by Paul Margulies explain and contextualize Steiner's text, revealing a message that is more vital and relevant than ever in our frenzied, materialistic times. This book can help us experience more meaning in life and become more at home as spiritual citizens of the universe.

The 3,078-meter (10,157 feet) Mount Ciremai near the town of Kuningan in West Java began "a new phase or state of activity" last week, signaled by a small sequence of earth tremors, said Maman Sukirman, an official with the Mount Ciremai monitoring post.
Some 6,000 residents in 20 villages are living surrounding the volcano, the highest in West Java province, Sukirman told AFP.
"Villagers living near the volcano have felt minor but constant tremors since last week. They have not yet been evacuated because the volcano's activity is still relatively non-threatening," he said by telephone from his post, some 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) west of the crater.
Authorities have issued an "alert" status and are monitoring the volcano around the clock, he said.
Mount Ciremai, some 200 kilometers southeast of Jakarta, last erupted in
The Indonesian archipelago has some 127 active volcanos along what is known as the Pacific Ring of Fire.

Important Questions To Ask Books Printers
If you are an author that has chosen the self publishing model, it is possible for you to write, edit, proof-read and typeset your work entirely. However, unless you also own a printing company, this job is one that should be left totally to the experts.
Understand that there are many costly complications that can occur in the printing process. That's why you should seek out a printing company that specialises in books; not the ones that also do business cards or letterheads, but the book printing companies that solely concentrate on books, day in day out.
Before meeting with book printers, here are some of the questions that you should ask yourself:
What size do you want your book?
There are many different sizes and you have the choice to make your book any size you want, however, you should note that the printing presses are designed for certain dimensions – A-size; B-size, B-plus, C-format, Quarto; and so forth. So while you can customise you dimensions, it is highly recommended to follow the set dimensions otherwise you will end up paying for the larger size only to have unused dimensions cut of the sides.
What paper do I use?
The answer to this question depends on the number of pages and whether you wish to increase the perceived value of the book. For example, the Bible contains a lot of pages so to use bulky paperback would not be a good idea; hence the numerous bibles that use extremely thin paper.
If a publisher has a set price they want to put on a book they may bulk the book up by using a thicker paper. However, bulky paper doesn't work well for books with a lot of graphics and photographs because it will absorb the colour too much. So if you have a lot of images then you need a high-bright paper (it looks white and is slightly thinner) where the colour bleeds less.
What type of cover do I want?
Firstly you need to decide whether you want a hard or soft cover. Then if you want a hard cover are you going to print on the cover or are going to have a jacket? If you go with a soft cover is your design going to be matt or gloss? Are you going to use design techniques such as embossing (where the letters have been punched out and the letters are raised like Braille) or spot varnish (where the light picks up part of the cover)? What costs are involved with each approach?
Do I want bookmarks?
This a great promotional tool that is cheap and easy. However, if you decide to print bookmarks then make sure you tell your printer before they start printing. The reason for this is that when they print your cover, they usually have left over space on the paper which allows for them to print the bookmarks at the same time. This means if you are a good negotiator often you can secure a large volume of bookmarks at no cost.
How many books do I print?
This is always the million dollar questions, as price it influenced dramatically by the number of books that you print. If it's your first time then you should look at a short print runs, like 100-200 copies. Typically this will be done digitally and will cost you a lot more to print each individual book. However you now have something to show your database, clients, publishers, the media and other members of your audience. After evaluating everyone feedback, you can then make all of the necessary changes and then think about doing larger print runs.
Printing can be a complicated stage in the book production process and one that can become clouded with the many decisions that need to be made. However, if you are clear on what you want and articulate these ideas to your printer then you should be able to minimise any problems that may occur.

When a case proceeds by summons, the issuing authority also must issue an order requiring the defendant to submit to the administrative processing and identification procedures as authorized by law (such as fingerprinting) that ordinarily occur following an arrest.
Paragraph (B)(4) requires that the defendant be advised of the consequences of failing to appear for any court proceeding. See Rule 602 concerning a defendants failure to appear for trial; see also Commonwealth v. Bond, 693 A.2d 220, 223 (Pa. Super. 1997) ([A] defendant who is unaware of the charges against him, unaware of the establishment of his trial date or is absent involuntarily is not absent without cause.).
Paragraph (C)(2), added in 2008, requires that the fingerprint order be sent to the defendant with the summons. The purpose of this change is to ensure that the fingerprinting process in summons cases is completed. See the Criminal History Record Information Act, 18 Pa.C.S. § 9112.
The requirement in paragraph (C)(2) that a fingerprint order be attached to the summons does not apply to cases that have been initiated by private complaint or cases in which the defendant has been processed for fingerprinting and other identification procedures prior to being released pursuant to Rule 519.
If a defendant has not complied with the fingerprint order by the time of the preliminary hearing, the issuing authority must make compliance a condition of release on bail.
See Rule 511 for service of the summons and proof of service.
See Rule 543(D) for the procedures when a defendant fails to appear for the preliminary hearing.
For the consequences of defects in a summons in a court case, see Rule 109.

Melbourne Storm prop Kevin Proctor says his side is ignoring the coaching crisis surrounding Wests Tigers and focusing on defence ahead of their match on Monday night.
The New Zealand international believes no matter what is going on around the Tigers, their strong attacking skills will make them a difficult opponent when the two meet at Campbelltown in Western Sydney.
The Tigers were under siege at the weekend with rumours swirling about the future of coach Mick Potter, including reports club captain Robbie Farah wanted him replaced.
Farah and his management have strongly dismissed the claims and the Tigers have said Potter's future won't be assessed until the end of the season, despite the Tigers suffering a 28-12 loss to St George Illawarra Dragons on Sunday.
The Tigers sit in 12th place but are only one win behind the Storm in a very tight NRL ladder.
Proctor said the Tigers were still in finals contention and had to be respected.
"I haven't seen too much media about them," Proctor said.
"They are still a big team and a really dangerous attacking team, we have to really step up this week and get our defence right or they will steamroll us.
"We have to shut down all their big men and their guns - we have to have the right attitude going into this game because if we don't we know what damage they can do to us."
The Storm are enjoying their best form of the season with the team pushing themselves to maintain their consistency after dominating Brisbane Broncos 30-8 last Friday night and moving to within one win of a place in the top four.
"It was our best defence and attacking [performance] in one game," Proctor said.
With a long break between Friday night's game and their Monday night clash, Proctor said the team embraced the extra rest time.
"I think the boys look forward to the long turnaround sometimes," Proctor said.
"Some of them let their hair down and have a couple of beers on Friday night.
"It just gives your body a break after such a tough game against the Broncos.
"It was a tough game, it was pretty physical so I was looking forward to that long turnaround because my body was a bit battered and bruised."
While the Storm have a long turnaround this week, they face a very short break between Monday night in Campbelltown and an emotional game in Newcastle the following Saturday.
The visit to Newcastle will be the Storm's first game in Newcastle since Knights forward Alex McKinnon fractured two vertebrae in his neck against the club in Melbourne earlier this season.
The Storm players will remain in NSW after Monday night's game, setting up camp on the central coast to avoid the extra interstate flights.
"Hopefully we can put on another good performance against Wests Tigers," Proctor said.
The Storm play the Tigers at Campbelltown on Monday night at 7pm.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
Great tool and I used it before with success.
But something must have changed with version 3.4. I want to migrate from local SQL to SQLAzure and everything works until the part where I need to "execute script against target". Then I get a login error because it tries to login to
SQLAzure using my local credentials. The error is something like "Unable to connect to SQLAzure, using <domain>\<username>. Point is, that i don't want it to connect using <domain>\<username> (integrated security)
but instead use the Azure-specific username/password.
It does use the specific credentials to query SQL azure for the list of databases but when you select one and press <next> and accept the "Do you want to execute the script against target?"... you get the error since it now ignores the specific
credentials and use your domain (integrated) credentials... ?

I am having the exact same issue. I have had to revert to a previous version.
If you do not specify a specific database on the connection screen, you will just list all of the databases and be able to select your target database or create a new database. I will fix the issue of connecting to a specific database in v3.4.1.
Ok, I made the fix. If try v3.4.1 and if it does not work, please let me know.

Overheard in the field: Kingston, Pennsylvania
"A few weeks ago, I was volunteering with my neighborhood team in Scranton, Pennsylvania. All of a sudden, Beau Biden, the Vice President's son, comes over and tells us that we're going to win this election because of us, because of our work. He just came over and wanted to tell us that. It was a great moment."
—Jason, a volunteer in Pennsylvania, shares a surprising experience he had while volunteering.

Need Appliance Repair Help? Ask a Technician for Answers ASAP
no sounds, lights work inside, and no control digits on display
Wire brushed the connector, and used CRC contact cleaner, and no results on the compressor, or the display board
We are just going to have to call a service man. I know GE had a recall on some boards in 2005, and there is a link on Amazon for that one.
Thanks for your help, but I have to start emptying the refrigerator.
