Now's the time of year to concoct a rosy plan
Though it may seem a bit late in the season to pay attention to your roses, now is a critical time for them. Without adequate protection, some types of roses will not survive the winter, while others will simply not perform their best next growing season. Improper pruning this late in the season also can lead to increased winter damage and decreased vigor. So, while your roses might not be priority No. 1 this month, here are some ideas for keeping them happy and healthy for many years to come.
First and foremost, know that different types of roses require different types of winter maintenance. Newer rose selections, like those in the Flowering Carpet and Knock Out series, are touted as easy-care and require little maintenance this time of year. In fact, you are better off completely ignoring these roses each fall and waiting to prune them until next spring. They often have less winter die-back if left alone in the autumn. The most care they'll need is a covering of deer netting, if Bambi is an issue in your neighborhood.
English roses, such as some of those in the David Austin series, require minimal winter care, though some selections are more tender than others. To cover your bases, provide these types of roses with a bit of extra winter protection, but there is no need to go overboard. If you'd like, you can place a 3- to 4-inch layer of mulch around their root zone and snug up against their stem. Be sure to remove the mulch in late March when you prune them back to 3 feet in height. I know a few folks who wrap their English roses, especially climbers, in landscape fabric to keep them warm and snug through the winter. I don't think this is a necessary step unless it is a more winter-tender variety, but it also isn't likely to hurt them.
The fussiest of all roses, the hybrid teas, require the most winter protection. All grafted roses, including hybrid teas, must have the graft union adequately protected from freezing temperatures or you risk losing them. If you are unsure if your rose is grafted, follow the plant from the soil level upward and look for a large, swollen knob on the trunk a few inches above the ground. If one exists, this is probably the graft union (the point where the root system was joined to a separate shoot system). To protect grafted roses for the winter, mound shredded leaves, peat moss, or shredded bark up and over the graft node. You may need to surround the plant with a ring of chicken wire to contain the mulch. Remove the mulch in late March and prune the plants back to 1 to 2 feet in height.
Come spring, all roses should be fertilized every four to six weeks with an organic granular fertilizer formulated specifically for roses (I use RoseTone from Espoma). At that time, you'll also want to prune out any canes blackened by winter kill.

TPWD News Release — April 5, 2010
The Children's Discovery Center, designed by the Texas Parks and Wildlife's Interpretive Services Department, occupies a hexagonal building not far from the Guadalupe River. The center encourages youngsters to look at the popular Texas Hill Country park's remarkable natural resources through the eyes of a scientist. Children enter the building by crawling through the trunk of a "cypress tree" to discover what awaits them outdoors in the almost 2,000-acre state park when they really pay attention to nature.
A number of hands-on exhibits on such topics as water ecology, interesting critters and strange night sounds invite children and adults alike to "take another look at the park through the eyes of a scientist to see what you've been missing." The colorful murals and interactive exhibits with such titles as "What's Under the Water?" support and enhance outdoor educational activities and align with national initiatives to reconnect urban children with the outdoor world.
Nine concrete markers containing a different animal track have been placed in various spots in the park's Day Use Area near the river to help visitors identify animals that left them. The answers can be found by looking inside a book located just outside the discovery center.
"As interpretive planners," says TPWD's Wendy Womack, "we determined there was a need at Guadalupe River State Park to make children more comfortable with the outdoors by providing a building that would give them the tools to better see and understand the natural world."
She says the discovery center is composed of three parts: interactive exhibits, a circular desk with activity boxes containing natural items such as animal shells and fossils, and backpacks containing simple tools such as magnifying glasses that can be checked out for park exploration.
During the Earth Day celebration, youngsters will be able to visit 20 different learning stations staffed by TPWD biologists and archeologists, park volunteers and experts from such organizations as the Austin Gem and Mineral Society and Texas Natural Science Center. Kids who visit the discovery center get a free bug box with a magnifier lid. Members of the Native Plant Society of Texas will be talking about plants and seed planting, and will hand out wildflower seeds. The state park's friends group will be serving free hot dogs.
Two-hour guided walks of the adjacent Honey Creek State Natural Area will be given at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. In addition, throughout the day, Spider Joe will be strolling through the park, shaking spiders out of trees and answering questions about his arachnid buddies.
Texas Parks and Wildlife believes that places like Guadalupe River State Park's Children's Discovery Center help connect Texas' increasingly urban population with the natural world and serve to put outdoor experience into context to help youngsters understand how nature works. The new center is one way the state park is enhancing its interpretive programming that reaches tens of thousands of visitors annually, but has a difficult time serving the influx of visitors during warm-weather months. The new center will augment the park's interpretive programs by leading families to engage in unstructured outdoor nature investigation.
The park entry fee for persons 13 years of age or older is $7; children 12 and younger are free. After entrance to the park, all Earth Day activities and a hot dog lunch are free. For more information about the Earth Day events at Guadalupe River State Park, call (512) 389-8598 or visit the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Web site.

Hard Candy Lash Tinsel Mascara Reviews
ewi got this in spellbound, it is not visable by itself but over black it looks okay. or get some product with a small brush and use it as glitter eyeliner — 6 years, 7 months agoaly7 | 396 reviews
This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful
Not impressedI tried this product alone and wasn't impressed with the amount of sparkle or the volume it gave (or didn't give I should say). So I used another volumizing mascara and put this product over top hoping it would look better. It just ended up clumped on my lashes and made them look chunky. It really didn't make my lashes sparkle. A friend of mine said it looked like I had dandruff on my eyelashes (lol). — 7 years, 7 months agoGeekyChic | 226 reviews

Just no..Doesn't seem to coat my lashes well. The glitter kind of clumps. Also in black you can't really tell it is supposed to have glitter. Not impressed. — 4 years, 6 months agoDeMo | 4 reviews
Clumpy lashesWhile this product is fun and cute I find it to be very hard to distribute onto my lashes and also have a problem with it clumping them together. However once you figure a way around that it looks very cute — 6 years agoabbylou18 | 2 reviews

To much sparkle for day, not enough for night...Ok when i first saw this at the store.. i thought shiny! i put on the mascara and i didn't see a difference, so i put on a few more light coats and then as i moved my lashes into the light it was very sparkly.. i wore them around and people told me my lashes were sparkly, but also commented: what is stuff in your lashes. i would have to tell them. my suggestion wear to a night club or some party,...read more but not everyday use. the mascara did clump a little bit, but all it really did was add sparkle. so buy it IF your going to a party, because it doesn't lengthen your lashes it just decorates. — 7 years, 7 months agoval_gal | 8 reviews
Love the GlitzThe entire Hard Candy cosmetics line is fun! The Lash Tinsel Mascara brush is skimpy, though, and won't thicken or lengthen lashes, so I don't use it alone. First I use a volumizing mascara, let it partially set, and then use the Lash Tinsel on top, so my lashes get the thickening and lengthening I want topped off with some sparkle. I've only ever seen the Hard Candy line at WalMart,, but it's inexpensive enough to try any number of the products. — 7 years, 7 months agoMaryMcP | 27 reviews

My Reasons for Reporting This


text:
In early January several local blogs picked up Rob Goodspeed's posting on how brick sidewalks are more slippery when wet than concrete pavers. I've also noticed that many of our area red brick sidewalks have lasting salt stains since the snow on January 27th.
Are these discolored bricks an issue of property management companies using a type of salt not suited for brick? Or is it just a lack of realization that the bricks must be cleaned after a salting?

The FDA ruling that the combination drug of neomycin and oxytetracycline can no longer be used in its current 2:1 dosage in milk replacer will influence the medication options that milk replacer manufacturers offer their customers in the near future.
The change in medicated milk replacer regulations gives calf raisers an opportunity to focus on preventing coccidiosis from day one. Anticoccidials are common in starter feeds offered to calves, yet most calves are not consuming enough starter - and, therefore, adequate levels of the medication - until several weeks of age. This has left a gap in the protection against coccidiosis. Having the anticoccidial in the milk replacer along with the anticoccidial in the grain can effectively 'bridge the gap' for solid coccidiosis control.
Provide coccidiosis medication to calves starting on day one. Once a coccidiosis infection has been diagnosed or clinical symptoms appear, intestinal damage has already been done. A clinical coccidiosis outbreak today is the result of an infection that took place approximately 21 days prior.
Understand that without coccidiosis medication in milk replacer calves are susceptible to disease until they are eating enough starter feed (usually 1 lb. between weeks 4 or 5) to provide an adequate anticoccidial dose. Anticoccidial milk replacer medication effectively 'bridges the gap' between birth and adequate starter intake needed to deliver a full, effective dose.
Keep it simple: use the same medication in the milk replacer and the calf starter feed. Avoid confusion around calves receiving low (or half) doses and alleviate combination approval concerns.
Where post-weaning respiratory disease is a concern, be aware of available combination approvals. Aureomycin combination approvals with Deccox or Bovatec provide enteric plus respiratory disease control. A proactive approach to addressing post-weaning respiratory disease is to include Aureomycin in starter feeds in addition to Deccox or Bovatec in milk replacer.

R. Stevens of Dieselsweeties fame writes,
I've been meaning to post about Three Panel Soul, the new comic by Ian and Matt of MacHall fame- unfortunately I've got to do so under less-than-wonderful circumstances. I love this new strip because I'm finding it a lot more minimalist and relatable… also ridiculously funny.Read the full text of his post here: Link.
Matt was working as a contractor for a branch of the government. He made the mistake of being interested in the hobby of paper target shooting at about the same time as the VA Tech shootings and talking to someone about this hobby at work. Keep in mind he wasn't even talking about those shootings, in fact he was discussing how he wanted a gun which would make it difficult to kill someone.
He was promptly fired and not allowed back to work because people were scared of him.
To top it all off, he was later visited by police detectives for making a comic about his experience, because it was a "borderline terroristic threat." (Is "terroristic" even a word? Did they get that from the Colbert report?)

Not that we haven't discussed this, but I thought some would enjoy seeing it in the Cleveland press:
http://www.cleveland.com/cavs/index...._assess_r.htmlTroy Murphy, Pacers: According to multiple sources, there's an interest from both parties for the prototypical stretch forward. Murphy hasn't been on the best terms with the Pacers, who are losing lots of money and still owe Murphy $12 million next year. Murphy is averaging 13 points and nine rebounds this season and the 6-11 big man is a career 40 percent 3-point shooter. Those are good numbers but perhaps not enough for the Pacers, who have a losing record and a $65 million payroll.
The downside to Murphy is that he's not a good defender. But he would fit well on the floor with Anderson Varejao or Shaquille O'Neal because of his ability to hit the outside jumper. Plus he's an excellent pick-and-pop player, which makes him a good match to play with James and Mo Williams in halfcourt situations.
Murphy may not be the Cavs' first choice, but he's probably going to be one of the best players available and it is something the team is already studying.

This recipe has been featured in a post on The Recipe Girl blog: Slow Cooked Carnitas Tacos. This dish is gluten free adaptable– please see notes below the recipe.
Yield: 4 servings
Prep Time: 25 min
Cook Time: 6 hrs
This is a super easy recipe to make. Throw the pork and spices in the crockpot and leave for the day. It shreds easily and then you put it into tortillas for dinner!
2 pounds boneless country- style pork ribs or pork shoulder (Boston Butt), cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
2 teaspoons dried oregano (preferably Mexican)
1/2 large onion, cut into 4 pieces
1 large avocado, halved, pitted & sliced
fresh cilantro & sliced red bell peppers
tortillas (corn or flour)
green chile salsa
1. Toss pork in bowl of slow cooker with salt, pepper, and oregano to coat. Place onion pieces atop pork. Cover slow cooker and cook pork on low setting until meat is very tender and falling apart, about 6 hours.
2. Using slotted spoon, transfer pork to cutting board. Discard onion pieces. Using fingers, shred pork; transfer carnitas to platter. Place avocado slices, cilantro sprigs, and sliced red bell peppers, if desired, alongside. Wrap corn or flour tortillas in damp kitchen towel; microwave until warm, about 1 minute. Serve carnitas with warm tortillas and green salsa.
*If you need to prepare this recipe as GLUTEN FREE, just be sure to use a GF corn tortilla instead of flour.
*If you need to leave the slow cooker for longer than 6 hours, the pork will be just fine. We left ours in the slow cooker for 10 hours and it was tender as can be.

The writer, a guest blogger at The Huffington Post whose non-fiction book Gorilla Theater was published by Routledge, compares his Twitter novel to starting up a business. "It's very similar to a startup in that it takes a lot of intense effort and you don't see the monetization right away," he said. Sanderson also sees Twitter as opening new business opportunities to writers. "It's a way to use a new form to connect to traditional publishing," he told TheStreet. His goal, he adds, is to see 1,000, a Novel in Tweets published as a physical novel and an e-book. "As it's tweeting, I'm also courting agents," he said. "It's a whole new way of doing business for literary fiction." -- Written by James Rogers in New York. Follow @jamesjrogers >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Paul Begala has some advice for Democrats who are disappointed in President Obama: "Man up."
"Shut up," he told Obama's liberal critics Wednesday at the University of Georgia Chapel. "Toughen up."
Begala - a political consultant turned pundit who helped put President Bill Clinton into office and presided over Democratic congressional campaigns when the party lost more than 60 seats in 1994 - predicted big wins for Republicans this year.
But he also predicted Obama would turn it around in 2012. Republicans have moved too far to the right, he said, joking that Sarah Palin makes President George W. Bush look like a Communist. He compared Obama to Clinton and President Ronald Reagan, whose parties suffered losses two years after they took office but went on to win re-election easily.
Obama has been stung by high expectations voters had for him and that he set for himself, in contrast to Bush, who took pride in being "misunderestimated," Begala said. He joked that Congress' original health care plan was, "If we but touch the hem of his garment, we shall be healed."
Even though Obama has disappointed voters on both the left and the right, he urged Democrats to stay involved, especially the young people who turned out in record numbers in 2008. Last year, youth turnout dropped 50 percent, he said, leading to Republican wins in Virginia and New Jersey gubernatorial races and a U.S. Senate special election in Massachusetts, all states Obama won.
"We have got to find ways to be there for our country even when the politicians disappoint us," he said.
Republicans have the momentum now because of the tea party movement, Begala said. He cautioned against demonizing or patronizing the tea parties. They mostly are angry about spending, he said, which is a good debate to have.
But most people, tea partiers or not, seem to have lost faith in America's institutions - corporations, the church and government.
"We're mad at every institution," he said. "All our institutions have let us down."
The proper response is to get back in the game, because politics is a game - but one with serious consequences, he said.
He cited as an example former Gov. Zell Miller's HOPE Scholarship, an idea he credited to Steve Wrigley, a former Miller aide and current UGA vice president for public service and outreach. HOPE gave middle- and lower-income students a chance for a high-quality education, he said.
But it would not have been possible had Miller not won the governorship in 1990, he said.
"If you beat the other guy, you win and you get to serve - unless the Supreme Court overturns it," he said.

In May 2009, a class action lawsuit was filed against the Wm. Wrigley Jr. Company, maker of Eclipse chewing gum and mints. The lawsuit alleged misleading advertising about the germ-killing properties of Wrigley's Eclipse products.
On July 7, the parties announced that they have reached a settlement, subject to approval by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida, in which Wrigley will create a fund of $6 million (plus up to an additional $1 million if needed to satisfy claims) to reimburse eligible consumers up to $10 for qualified purchases of Eclipse chewing gum and mint products with a "natural germ killing" message, and to cover the other costs associated with the settlement.
Additionally, Wrigley will make certain changes to its marketing and labeling of this product.
"Wrigley has agreed to a settlement of this lawsuit to prevent further distraction to its business and denies any wrongdoing," said Paul Chibe, Wrigley Vice President and General Manager U.S. Gum and Mints.

Bob Ellis cajoled his way onto a Lockheed Vega and then built a legendary life in the air and on the ground. "Few people," Bob Ellis (pictured at right circa 1980) said in a 1991 interview, "have had a more interesting life than I have."
"Bob was a true pioneer, instrumental in developing aviation in the state of Alaska and helping make Alaska Airlines a success," said former Alaska CEO Bruce Kennedy. "He was a warm person with a ready smile and a good story to tell."
Born and raised in St. Albans, Vermont, Ellis entered the U.S. Naval Academy at age 16, but left two years later when he learned that only a small portion of his class would receive commissions due to military spending cuts following World War I.
A friend from Annapolis who grew up in Seattle invited Ellis and his brother Vic to come to the timber-rich Pacific Northwest. He worked in lumber exporting for a time, but joined the Naval Reserve in 1926 and became a pilot. In 1929, just months after receiving his commercial transport license, he served as navigator on the plywood floatplane—a Lockheed Vega—that made the first nonstop flight between Seattle and Juneau. Ellis had been enlisted to plot the course for the pilot of the historic flight, but purposely complicated the plan so the pilot would have to take Ellis along. Nearly eight hours later, with a hero's welcome, the native New Englander and one-time cadet at Annapolis was an Alaskan for life.
Over the next six years he flew all over Alaska for a variety of airlines, in all kinds of planes—landing on everything from ice fields to river bars. He always maintained a wonderful sense of humor even in the face of close calls, daring rescues, and challenging weather.
Ignorance, he said, was the worst enemy of early-day Alaskan pilots. There were no flight or aircraft manuals of any kind, and radio and instrument technology was a ways off. "Once we got our license at 200 hours, we were on our own, and the only thing you learned was something you discovered by yourself or you gained by talking with other pilots. And there usually wasn't another pilot around to talk over things—like wingtip stall—which is important to know," he said in the book Heroes of the Horizon. "When I discovered it I didn't even know the name for it."
In another book, Alaska Bush Pilots—The Float Country, he said, "We'd go on for days, flying all over hell into areas that weren't even on the map. Every flight back then was a grand adventure."
In 1936, with a four-seat, single-engine Cabin Waco floatplane, he founded Ketchikan-based Ellis Air Transport (later renamed Ellis Airlines). Business grew steadily with Bob's dedication to customer service. In the tiny villages he served in Southeast Alaska, for instance, he'd take orders for groceries before flying back to Ketchikan. People would also trust him with their paychecks, knowing he could be counted on to return with carefully identified envelopes full of cash. At Christmas, he'd dress up to become "The Flying Santa Claus," landing in the villages to pass out candy to the children.
His reliability, willingness to lend a hand, quick wit, and gentle manner carried him far, not only in business, but in politics too. He served in the Territorial Senate and was mayor of Ketchikan.
When the Navy called Ellis to serve as a squadron and air station commander during World War II, his wife, Peg, and two trusted employees kept the business going. He was commanding the squadron based on Kodiak in 1944 when President Roosevelt made a surprise visit en route from Hawaii to Washington. D.C. Ellis' exaggerated stories about Alaska bears and Matanuska Valley strawberries are reported to have had the President in stitches.
After the war, with a growing fleet of war-surplus Grumman Goose aircraft, Ellis Airlines prospered, forcing Bob to hang up his goggles and focus on management.
In 1962, Ellis joined forces with Alaska Coastal Airlines, a Juneau-based carrier operated by fellow pioneers
Shell Simmons
and Ben Benecke. The merger of their combined company with Alaska Airlines six years later brought Bob to the Alaska Airlines board of directors, where he served for 13 years before retiring in 1981 as director emeritus.
He and Peg had two sons, Mike and Peter, and a daughter, Sabra Jenkins. The final chapter in the extraordinary run of the legendary bush pilot who founded one of the carriers that forms the Alaska Airlines of today came on May 8, 1994, when he died at his home in Ketchikan. He was 91.

LONDON, Feb 21 (Reuters) - Europe's largest low-fare airline Ryanair (RYA.I) said on Saturday it planned to save costs by closing all its airport check-in desks by the end of the year and have passengers check in online instead.
"All we will have is a bag drop where passengers can drop off their luggage, otherwise everything will be done online," Ryanair Chief Executive Michael O'Leary told the Daily Telegraph.
He said the savings would be passed on to passengers in the form of lower fares.
Ryanair spokesman Stephen McNamara told Reuters that 75 percent of the airline's passenger already used its online check-in services.
"We are trying to encourage the remaining 25 percent to do the same," he said.
"Hopefully by the end of the year we will have bag drop-in areas instead, which will be manned."
The airline would continue to have staff running ticket desks at airports, he said.
The change would lead to layoffs but the airline used many third-party staff at airports and would attempt to limit the effect of the reduction.
"We are hoping the job cuts will be minor," McNamara said.

Kurnool is known as the Gateway to Rayalaseema. It is a city and municipal corporation and the administrative headquarters of Kurnool district, state of Andhra Pradesh, India. Post bifurcation of the state, Kurnool is the Fifth-most populous city of Andhra Pradesh. Kurnool served as the state capital of Andhra (not Andhra Pradesh) from 1 October 1953 to 31 October 1956.
Palaeolithic era
The Ketavaram rock paintings from the Paleolithic era and are (18 kilometres from Kurnool). Also the Jurreru Valley, Katavani Kunta and Yaganti in Kurnool District have some important rock art's and painting's in the vicinity, may be dated from 35,000 to 40,000 years ago.
Little was known about Kurnool Town before the 11th century. The earliest knowledge of this settlement dates from the 11th Century. It has developed as transit place on the southern banks of the river Tungabhadra and was commonly known as 'Kandenavolu'. It was a greasing place for the carts which used to transport stone for the construction of temples at Alampur from which the name 'Kandenavolu' was derived. It was ruled by Cholas and later by Kakatiya kings in the 12th and 13th Centuries. Later on it became an independent part of the country under Jagirdars. Late it came under the influence of Vijayanagar Kings and it was during the 16th Century that Achyuta Raya built the Kurnool Fort. During the 17th Century it was ruled by Gopal Raja. Abdul Wahab conquered king Gopal Raja and ruled over the country for 16 years. The town came under the influence of Moghal Emperor Aurangazeb in 1686. Later the town was ruled by Nawabs from Dawood Khan to Gulam Rasool Khan (1823). In 1839 the British Government took over control. In 1858 it was made over to a Collector under the General regulations. The British rule continued till 1947 during which period, Kurnool town was a part of the Madras presidency. After separation of the 11 districts of Andhra from the composite of Madras state in 1953, Kurnool became the state Headquarters on 1 October 1953.
The Telugu speaking areas of erstwhile Hyderabad State were merged with Andhra Pradesh. The state of Andhra Pradesh came into existence in November 1956, and its state capital was shifted from Kurnool to Hyderabad.

Law pertaining to anti-suit injunctions in India
Law suits are anyway difficult – but what if the other party files a parallel case in another country, in another court of law? Imagine that you have filed a case against a party in Mumbai, but suddenly the other party also files a case against you in the same matter in a London court. Imagine the logistical nightmare it can be, if you are required to defend or fight the same case in multiple jurisdictions.
In international transactions, there is an obvious incentive for the defaulting party to deliberately initiate parallel legal proceedings in multiple courts (across different countries) in an attempt to delay or frustrate resolution of disputes. How do you prevent this situation from arising in your dispute?
An anti-suit injunction (together with effective drafting techniques) can be a very useful tool here. An anti-suit injunction prevents the parties to a case from filing proceedings in others courts or tribunals, usually in other countries. It helps to get such an injunction if you want to restrain another party (or potential party) from continuing or commencing a suit in another court.
1. Example of how an anti-suit injunction works
Assume that a tech company based in the US (USCo) enters into a distribution contract with
an Indian startup (IndCo) to distribute its products in all of South Asia. The contract should specify which courts will have jurisdiction over disputes that arise between the parties. Not specifying which courts have jurisdiction could be extremely risky – since litigation over a dispute in relation to this contract could potentially be initiated in US, India or even in the South Asian country (if the dispute arises from an action taken there). Therefore, in the event of a dispute, USCo may be able to initiate legal proceedings in, say Singapore (if an action resulting in the dispute was taken there), US or in India. While USCo would prefer courts which are most likely to grant relief (ideally in the US), IndCo may prefer Indian courts to have jurisdiction. Both entities could file litigations against each other in all three jurisdictions, leading to a mess.
Let's say the contract contained a jurisdiction clause requiring all disputes to be settled in Singapore courts. Depending on the circumstances, IndCo could still prefer filing a case in Indian courts, or even in US courts (if it believes US courts are more likely to grant relief) despite the contract stating to the contrary. In such cases, USCo could file an anti-suit injunction in an Indian court, requesting the court to prohibit IndCo from pursuing legal proceedings with respect to the dispute in India or in the US (as the Indian court has personal jurisdiction over IndCo).
2. Types of jurisdiction clauses in contracts and when to use anti-suit injunctions
Most modern contracts contain a jurisdiction clause, empowering the courts of a particular country to decide disputes. What happens when parties include a jurisdiction clause? Let's assume that the parties intend to expressly specify under the contract the courts which will have jurisdiction over disputes arising from the contract. They could specify, for example, that Indian courts, US courts or the courts of a third 'neutral' country (e.g. United Kingdom) would resolve any disputes related to the contract. The contract may specify whether such courts have exclusive jurisdiction or whether the jurisdiction is non-exclusive.
"All disputes arising in relation to this contract shall be subject to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts in England."
Consider the following situation and test your skills by answering the questions that follow:
Consider the following clause:
"All disputes arising in relation to this contract shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Courts in Australia."
The above clause clearly expresses that parties can only approach courts in Australia in the event of a dispute. In light of the example of USCo and IndCo in the previous section, let us discuss following two situations:
3. Principles under Indian law for grant of anti-suit injunctions
In general, courts are cautious while granting anti-suit injunctions.
As explained before, an anti-suit injunction can only be granted against a person over whom a court has personal jurisdiction.
Secondly, since an anti-suit injunction issued by a court of one country has the risk of excluding the jurisdiction of another court (which may be competent to try cases in another country), the power to issue anti-suit injunctions is used very sparingly and keeping in mind the principle of comity which governs the relationship of courts in different countries.Mutual respect for other courts in other countries in which the commencement or continuance of action/proceeding may be sought.
Thirdly, an anti-suit injunction can only be granted when refusal of the injunction will lead to denial of justice and perpetuation of injustice (which is a vague condition, and subject to interpretation by courts).
Both, the second and third criteria are very wide and provide the court a very broad discretion. For example, when should a court form an opinion that refusal of injunction can lead to injustice? In this light, the following rules are relevant (Refer Supreme Court in the case of Modi Entertainment Network and Anr. v. W.S.G. Cricket Pvt. Ltd.)
In a case where an action can be filed in courts or tribunals of multiple countries, a court will examine as to which is the appropriate forum (forum conveniens) having regard to the convenience of the parties and may grant anti-suit injunction in regard to proceedings which are oppressive or vexations or in a court which is not convenient for the parties (forum non-conveniens)
Before granting anti-suit injunctions, the court must bear in mind that that the Indian proceedings or foreign proceedings must be "oppressive and vexatious" and should cause inequitable hardship in order to merit the granting of an anti-suit injunction. "Vexatious" is defined as "one being instituted without sufficient grounds for winning purely to cause trouble or annoyance to the defendant" and "oppressive" is defined as "unjustly inflicting hardship and constraint".
- If a clause provides for jurisdiction of the courts of a particular country, Indian courts will usually respect the choice of parties (even if the clause provides for non-exclusive jurisdiction of such a court). E.g. If a contract provides for non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts in London, the Bombay High Court will not ordinarily issue an anti-suit injunction preventing a party from approaching courts in London or from continuing legal proceedings there.
- However, under exceptional circumstances, courts may disregard the choice of parties specified under the contract. It will be easier for courts to disregard the choice of parties when the contract specifies non-exclusive jurisdiction of courts of a particular country. Such exceptional circumstances could include situations which permit a contracting party to be relieved of the burden of the contract or subsequent events rendering it impossible for a party to prosecute the case in the court of choice because the essence of the jurisdiction of the court does not exist or because of a force majeure.
- The court will not grant an anti-suit injunction if it will deprive the defendant of any advantages available to it in a foreign forum which of which it would be unjust to deprive him.
4. Anti-suit injunctions in context of international arbitrations
Where a contract provides for an arbitration clause, an anti-suit injunction could be used in two ways:
1.It could be used to prevent litigation before courts in other countries. In this way, the anti-suit injunction helps in furthering arbitration proceedings as per the contract between the parties.
Let's take an example. In case of a dispute, a defaulting party may have an incentive to approach courts of other jurisdictions (other than the jurisdiction chosen by the parties) to try and circumvent the arbitration proceedings. For example, a US entity could approach the courts of Singapore in a dispute with an Indian entity, although their contract expressly provides for dispute resolution by arbitration in UK. Since the law in different countries will differ, it will be extremely difficult for the Indian entity to defend its case in each jurisdiction, based on the law of that state. Instead, the Indian entity could apply for an anti-suit injunction before an Indian court – the court would be requested to prevent the US entity from initiating legal proceedings in other countries and to approach the arbitral tribunal, thus saving the arbitration.
2. It could be used to stop the arbitration itself and to get the dispute decided by a court in a country different from that of the arbitral tribunal. In this case, it would be used to defeat the arbitration.
Courts are extremely unlikely to issue anti-suit injunctions against the arbitration proceedings. Arbitration clauses in contracts usually contain strict rules for jurisdiction in case of disputes and the venue (including the courts which parties may approach for necessary intervention in arbitration proceedings) and the legal system applicable to the dispute are carefully chosen by the parties after application of mind. Further, arbitral tribunals also have the authority to decide their jurisdiction and competence over a particular dispute. Hence, in case there is a challenge to the jurisdiction of an arbitral tribunal, courts will not ordinarily entertain the challenge, and leave the matter to the arbitral tribunal to decide.

BRIAN ELLISON went mob handed in a bid to win the Fine Equinity Stakes at York Racecourse and Edge Of Sanity sprang a 25-1 surprise to give the Norton trainer what he wanted.
The five-year-old, ridden handily by Paul Mulrennan, was one of five entries for the Spring Cottage Stables-based trainer and was having only his second run for Ellison after being bought for 48,000 guineas.
He finished half a length ahead of Quest For More to give Ellison a priceless Welcome To Yorkshire Ebor Festival winner.
"Four of the five were hold up horses," said the trainer, who also saddled Totalize, Saptapadi, Streets Of Newyork and Knightly Escapade.
"I said to Paul to just sit handily with him. He ran at Ascot last time and we dropped him out last in a race with no pace. It just didn't suit him.
"He is going to the Cesarewitch now. He is a lovely horse."

Educate the Children
Educate the Children Honduras is currently working with three schools in the mountain region of Olancho. The three schools have a total of 120 students attending and a staff of eight teachers who provide instruction to them.
Parents are committed to purchasing uniforms and supplies when they are able. However, with an average wage of $3.00/day this requires significant sacrifice on their part but underpins the dignity within our partnering relationship.
The teachers are constantly seeking new ways to increase and develop their students' skills in academic, creative and vocational training. As a result, the students are now beginning to recognize their own potential and dream for a future that they never imagined possible! We are so proud that three of our former students are now teachers.
To educate a child costs about $30/month. A total cost of approximately $360/year.
Please help these children to continue to realize their dreams. Any gift or prayer is greatly appreciated. God bless you.
Just fill-out the sponsorship form and send it to the address below. Please make checks payable to "Educate the Children - Honduras."

Our IBUS 744: International Dimensions in Management course provide students the opportunity to experience the management practices and business environments in Brazilian organizations.
This year students will visit Rio de Janiero and Sao Paulo. The program begins with four class meetings during the second half of Fall 2012 semester to learn about the Brazilian business environment and set the stage to maximize the international exposure. Class will be held on Wednesday evenings from 8:10—10:40 p.m. on the following dates: October 31, November 7, November 14, and November 28.
During the winter break, students will travel to Brazil. The travel component of the program consists of a series of meetings with senior managers and company tours of both local and multinational companies across various industry sectors, engaged in interactive follow-up discussions to analyze the state of economic development in one of the largest economies in the world. The course enables you to fuse classroom learning with actual techniques used to compete in the global marketplace.
Through planned city tours of Rio de Janiero and Sao Paulo, you'll also be able to experience the incredible historic and cultural attractions of Brazil. The professor, Frank DuBois, has extensive international experience with a special interest in the Brazilian business sector. This will be his fifth semester teaching and leading this course in Brazil.
Students should depart the US on Saturday, January 5, to arrive in Sao Paulo on Sunday, January 6. The group departs Rio de Janiero via an overnight flight on Saturday, January 12, arriving in the US the following day. A single group transfer from the Sao Paulo airport and to the Rio de Janiero airport is included in the program fee and will be communicated in the weeks prior to the program.
Please note that students are responsible for reserving and purchasing their own airfare to and from Brazil, and may choose to arrive early for personal travel in the region.
This program is a 2-credit fall course (IBUS-744-001) and standard AU tuition applies. A 3-credit section of the course is also available (IBUS-744-002).
Students are responsible for the following costs of the program:
Tuition: Costs for tuition are based on the number of credits, calculated per the tuition and fee schedule posted on the Student Accounts website. Full-time students not exceeding 17 total credits for the semester will not incur additional tuition charges. Any tuition charges that do apply will be billed by and paid directly to AU.
Program Fee: The $2,375 program fee includes double occupancy room, ground transportation as part of the program, company site visits, and meals and cultural activities as outlined on the program itinerary. Due to possible exchange rate fluctuations, the final program cost may need to be adjusted and will be confirmed 30–60 days in advance of departure to Brazil. This program fee is billed to your Student Account, minus a $300 non-refundable deposit which is paid to AU through the Kogod Office of Global Learning Programs.
Travel: Students are responsible for the reservation and payment of air travel to and from Brazil.
Passport & Visa: Students are solely responsible for obtaining a passport, visas, or other immigration documents required to enter and exit Brazil, including related fees. The Kogod Office of Global Learning Programs will support students with any required letters from AU.
Incidentals: Expenses for shopping, personal activities, and meals and local transportation not included in the program itinerary are the student's responsibility.
Financial Aid: Students planning to use financial aid should consult with the Financial Aid office to determine coverage and eligibility.
Students are solely responsible for obtaining a passport and any visas or other immigration documents required to enter and exit Brazil, including any related fees. The Kogod Office of Global Learning Programs will support students in this endeavor with any required letters from AU. US citizens are required to obtain a visa prior to their arrival to Brazil.

I'm sure I wasn't alone in thinking that Netflix (s NFLX) invented the rent-movies-by-mail business. But Hacking Netflix has unearthed a gem about a company called Video Mailbox that offered rent-by-mail — on VHS, no less — way back in 1987, long before little red envelopes clogged up our mailboxes.
There are striking similarities between Netflix and its apparent predecessor. Video Mailbox let you rent movies for a flat monthly fee ($29.95 – yikes!). It provided a pre-paid mailer to return movies. It offered 10,000 movies and users could manage a queue of their favorites.
There's a Video Mailbox site dedicated to preserving the history of video mailbox (including this gem of a TV commercial and a color brochure explaining how it worked). And though the site doesn't provide an official reason for the company's demise, it was obviously an idea ahead of its technological time.

The Vampire Diaries
Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah will be heading to New Orleans in Episode 20 this season for "The Originals" spin-off episode… but that doesn't mean they're just going to stay in NoLa, killing time and waiting for the fall TV season. We can tell you that Episode 20 isn't the last we'll see of Klaus this season on "The Vampire Diaries." Unfinished business in Mystic Falls, perhaps?

Mirroring #2066783: Remove quicksketch from MAINTAINERS.txt, I need to recuse myself from core system or module that I either no longer understand (Path system), or have time to maintain (contact.module, path.module) given that maintaining a core module is shifting away from being a hobby to a responsibility, and I can no longer make that commitment.
I do however still have interested in being a maintainer of the Token system, and that's probably the only thing I'll have the time to work on.

AFTER 40 years, £270,000, hundreds of members and thousands of concerts, Wantage Silver Band has moved into its first ever permanent home.
And it is already planning an extension. to the purpose-built building constructed in a field on the outskirts of the town.
Formed in 1972 for a handful of children, the musical collective now boasts 150 members in four full bands, a training band and four beginners' groups.
Since the band's last rehearsal space – Wantage C of E junior school on Newbury Street – was converted into housing ten years ago, it has had a nomadic existence, using six different rehearsal spaces each week and storing percussion in three sheds.
So for the last 10 years, every concert has been a fundraising opportunity, and the band has amassed a staggering £270,000 to build its first ever real home.
Trombonist Lucy Scott, 53 from Highclere Gardens, said: "I don't want to blow my own trumpet, but we deserve a fanfare.
"It means a new phase of our life, and we can start concentrating on the important things, like winning competitions, instead of organising which village hall we will practise in next week. Now we really want to build a concert hall so people can come and watch us, and it will be a real community facility."
The band received donations from the town council and local music lovers, but raised the majority itself through concerts.
In December alone, it raked in more than £8,000 through 50 performances and a further £3,000 at three full concerts.
Band master of 30 years, Eileen Sykes, 68 from Belmont, said: "These sums indicate the great support the band receives from the people of Wantage and district. In addition, the carol playing attracted new recruits, and we have just started a beginners' class with eight new members."
The new band hall has one large rehearsal room, one small rehearsal room, a kitchen and toilets.
Work began in August last year, and the band officially moved in on March 1.
The land at Tugwell field, off the A417 by Charlton, has been supplied to the band on a peppercorn lease by the county and district councils.
Wantage Silver Band is registered charity and has a dedicated board of directors who oversee activities, supported by a players' committee with members from each band who organise the day-to-day running and engagements.
Band chairman Eleanor Turner, 68, said: "This gives the band an identity and cohesion. It means we're not rehearsing in a different village hall each week."
The arrival of the hall fulfills one of the band's main ambitions: the other is for the A band to reach the Albert Hall finals in the National Brass Band Championships.

The Oxford city council voted five to one with council member Jim Windham opposed, to replace the master water meter on Cook Road at a called meeting Monday night.
The city, along with the city of Covington and Newton County Board of Commissioners, voted to install a revenue meter with double check valves on each side at a cost of $4,290 each.
The need, according to council member Terry Smith, came from the fact that water has been wheeling in both directions, especially when the county's water and sewerage authority chose to turn on the pumping station on the Yellow River, according to unofficial minutes from the meeting. It creates fluctuations in both purchases and losses in water for the city.
The master water meter on Cook Road would provide a western looped water system that would maintain and improve pressure to the city and would also support future commercial growth in East Metro Industrial Park.

Don't tell Jan Michelini that lightning doesn't strike twice.
Michelini, an assistant director on Mel Gibson's The Passion of Christ, was nicknamed Lightning Boy after lightning struck his umbrella during filming on a hilltop in the town of Matera, Italy, reported VLife, a supplement to Variety publications, in its October issue.
He suffered light burns on the tips of his fingers.
A few months later, while the crew was on a remote location a few hours from Rome, a storm rolled in and Michelini, again carrying an umbrella, was standing beside star Jim Caviezel on top of a hill, the publication said.
"I'm about 30 metres away from them," producer Steve McEveety was quoted as saying, "when I glance over and see lightning coming out of Caviezel's ears. Both Caviezel and Michelini got struck this time. The main bolt hit Caviezel and one of its forks hit Michelini's umbrella."
They weren't hurt.
Caviezel stars as Christ and Monica Bellucci is Mary Magdalene in the film.

Fischer & the Shorties
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Fischer & the Shorties is a popular dance/rap group that includes Fischer, the white boy rapper and his dancers, Christina, Nikki, Victoria and Amel. They are most famous for their number 1 hit "Bust a move", a cover version by Young MC. Together they topped the Billboard Charts making them the most successful/unique group in the music industry.
edit In the Beginning
The group started out about a month before the Talent Show additions in DHS. Fischer was sitting in the study hall room listening to a song when he saw Christina (50 Pounds) going to get a drink a water. He walked up to her and asked if she wanted to be a part of his group for the talent show. Sources say Christina agreed quickly. But in order for this to take action, she had to find three other girls willing to dance on stage with the bright light in their faces. he then found Amel (Lover of Gazza-J(Cash Only)) and forced her to join. It was not a choice; it was an order. Christina then passed on her duties to Amel to find 2 other girls to fill in the spots. Amel then found Nikki (Night Rider). And of course with Nikki it was a "buy one get one free" thing. Thus, when Nikki joined, Victoria (unknown) joined. It was automatic. Fischer & the Shorties was in the making!
There were only two week to prepare a dance. With Nikki on their side and the sun in the west, they were sure to get a a dance in time. Time passed, food was running low and Channel [V] was screwed up. Could they make it?? Fischer was certain they would.
After many days of choreographing this complex dance routine, Nikki then had to teach the other 4 girls.With auditions only days away, Fischer and the Shorties was not looking too good. For hours these 4 girls practiced and practiced until they got it perfect. However, 3 days before the auditions, they made corrections to this very complex routine. For their first audition they only had 1 minute of their song finished. The judges of the audition where not happy and told them to finish creating their dance to re-audition. Three days later, they finished their whole routine and then auditioned once more. It was a hit! The judges loved them and they were in the Talent Show!
After school and during lunch these girls practiced everyday until the talent show. The last move of the dance was so complex that Nikki would ask the girls to repeat the names of the dance moves all day until they had it absolutely memorized. However, during the dance, everyone got so confused that they did not know what to do at the end. They now realize that adding another step at the end of the dance was extremely stupid. Sources say that Ruti states that this "WAS SO GAY!" However, the other girls were able to fix this horrible mistake that they all made and the whole dance a great success and very enjoyable to all!!!
edit School Life for the Famous
The members of Fischer & the Shorties attend school regularly at DHS in Saudi Arabia. Yes it is what you are thinking and no it is not. Confusing; yes. Fischer hangs with his own crowd; the "white people" while Nikki & Ya Ya hang with their own crowd that does not really have a name but could be called the Blonde Group since there are maybe about 2 or 3 blondes. However, Nikki is not a blonde. One could say that this group could be the "band" group because everyone in this amazing group is in some type of band. Amel chills with her own people too. She sometimes chills with the "Dasies" and these other unimportant people which is why we will move on to Christina. Christina chills with Amel since there is no one else around in her grade. She also chills with this certain ninth grader known as the founder of Saudi Arabia, Naif Bartlett. Sometimes Christina chills with the "band" group as she is a loner and out of the kindness of their heart they let her chill with them sometiems....Yes, please feel bad for Christina. It is a wonder how these five people got together as a group. After their beig debut and returned to school, paparazzi were in the front of the school waiting to take pictures of each of them. Oh the chaos. Even students were crowding the school entrance waiting to get autographs. However, nowadays the students have learned to calm down, but there are still a few students who ask some of the members for autographs. When new students come into the school they just go wild and cannot believe how everyone is so calm while knowing that Fisher & the Shorties go to their school.
edit The Big Debut
February 7, 2007- Talent Show in DHS. Fisher & the Shorties performed their first dance a group. "Bust a Move" by Young MC. The Crowd went wild! Everyone was yelling with excitement! Shoes were being thrown in the air! by Rootie Tootie Fresh and Fruty who is so KOOOL!!! Fischer & the Shorties was a success!
edit World Tour
Fischer & the Shortie's world tour for the summer of 2007 was very successful. Tickets were sold out in 2 days. Many fans of the group that did not get tickets were extremely upset and begged for hours to get more tickets made. The fans who were unfortunate and did not get tickets secretly went backstage to watch show.
edit Talent Show 2008
On Feburary 2008, the last performance for the group had finally come. It was a very, very sad moment for all the members. "I never wanted this to end!" says Christina Dawidowicz. "I'll never forget this! It was an awesome experience." comments Amel Badri. "It'd be really kool if we could all meet up again someday in the future" says Nikki Tracy. Again, if this was a competition, the group would have won for sure. The well known band, 3pm, would not even have a chance against them.
edit The Future
They plan to release a Greatest Hits album near the end of 2008. Rumor has it that the new album will be called, "You Don't Wanna Miss This!". The new album is expected to have bonus DVD extras such has memories shared by members. "It's a very emotional video." says Victoria Heath on the extra video.

Just a note on some new web materials we will be posting soon. By November, we hope to have additional materials relating to Catholic responses to Kristallnacht up on the American Catholic History Classroom website. The materials include responses to the CUA anti-Nazi broadcast from our collection, and a transcript of a broadcast delivered by Father Charles E. Coughlin on November 20, 1938. Coughlin's speech is, in part, a response to the CUA anti-Nazi broadcast, and a very different perspective on the Nazi pogrom against the Jews–where the CUA broadcast condemns Kristallnacht, the Coughlin broadcast justifies it. The Coughlin broadcast, which is anti-Semitic, causes him to become increasingly marginalized among Church leadership, while the CUA broadcast marks a move among US Catholic institutional leaders toward ecumenism.
Secondly, we have just completed a website on Father John A. Ryan, Father Coughlin, and the Presidential election of 1936. Again, we have here two different Catholic perspectives… Father Ryan delivers a radio broadcast supporting incumbent Franklin Delano Roosevelt, while Coughlin rails against the re-election of the president. This site will contain about 40 documents and supplementary educational materials and will be up early next year. The new sites mark a continuation of our attempt to make our materials available to educators and researchers alike.
