According to Nomura, demand has slowed down quite substantially post a relatively strong festival season, however, margins for automakers would hold on due to recent price hikes
December auto sales were below expectations, especially for commercial vehicles (CVs), while the decline in car sales was somewhat arrested by Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. "As per our discussion with the companies and dealers, demand has slowed down quite substantially post a relatively strong festival season. However, margins would hold on due to recent price increase," said Nomura in a research report.
According to the report, car industry volumes declined by 5% in December marginally above Nomura's expectations of a 7-8% decline led by strong performance from Maruti Suzuki. The report said, "Maruti Suzuki's domestic volumes increased by about 6% while we were expecting a 4% decline. Strong growth in low-end petrol segment and D'zire led to the positive surprise, we believe. Maruti Suzuki's market share was around 55% in December 2013 – the highest in the past four years. This is quite positive especially considering increased competitive intensity from global original equipment manufacturers (OEMs)," Nomura added.
During December for other unlisted companies, Hyundai's volumes were up 6%, while Honda's volumes increased by about 30%, led by its Amaze variant. Other global OEMs like GM and Ford saw double-digit volume decline despite new launches.
Nomura said during the month, volumes in the medium and heavy CVs declined by about 25% as against its expectations of 20% decline. Volumes for Tata Motors declined by 22% while Ashok Leyland saw 26% decline in MHCV volumes and Eicher's CV volumes fell by 34%, the report said.
Volumes in two wheeler increased marginally by 2%, led by Honda Motorcycle and Scooter India Pvt Ltd (HMSI). HMSI reported another strong set of numbers (up 36%) as its scooter volumes increased by 54% while bike volumes increased by 18%. During December Hero MotoCorp's volumes declined by about 3% while Bajaj Auto had a weak month with domestic motorcycle volumes down around 30%. TVS' volumes were flattish while Yamaha saw a strong 58% growth partly due to the lower base effect.
"Within our coverage, only Maruti Suzuki reported stronger-than-expected volumes. If the current trend continues, we see downside risks to our FY14F volume estimates for Bajaj Auto and CV OEMs – Ashok Leyland and Tata Motors. There could be some upside risks to our volumes estimates for Hero MotoCorp," Nomura said.
While rejected petitions filed by AUSPI and COAI, the High Court permitted CAG to conduct audit of private telecom companies under the TRAI Act
The Delhi High Court on Monday held that the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) can audit accounts of private telecom operators under the relevant provisions of the law.
A Bench of Justices Pradeep Nandrajog and V Kameswar Rao permitted the top accounting body to conduct audit of private telecom companies under the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) Act.
The HC rejected separate petitions filed by Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers (AUSPI) and Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI) against the decision of Telecom tribunal TDSAT on the issue in 2010.
The high court had reserved its order in November 2013 after conducting marathon hearings on the issue where it took on record submissions of the Centre, CAG and the petitioners — COAI and AUSPI.
Both the associations had argued, in essence, that CAG can't audit private companies.
To achieve the purpose of audit, the operators had pointed out that they have already put in place mechanism of special audit as envisaged in the licence agreement between department of telecom and the companies.
The firms had claimed they maintain accounts in line with the TRAI rules and can't be forced to furnish financials to CAG.
The CAG had vigorously staked its claim to audit the accounts and sought revenue sharing details from the telecom companies.
The heart surgery programme in the US alone is a $100 million business! They thrive on panic mongering. There is compelling evidence that more health care and more aggressive treatment across the complete spectrum of illnesses is not necessarily better
Our greatest achievement in modern medicine has been our success in making the many people mortally terrified of diseases and death. For instance, Hypochondriasis has gone up exponentially since modern hi-tech medicine learnt the "art" of advertising both the morbid side of illnesses and our capacity to "drag people even from the jaws of death"! In short, we have transformed the medicical profession—a healthy union of the sick and the saviour in mutual trust—into a big business. This has exposed us to the vagaries of consumer society of fault-finding and lawsuits for negligence. Just read this letter from a friend of mine to find out how fear mongering goes on daily!
"I'm a regular reader of Money life and a big fan of your columns on health. Thank you for sharing your wealth of knowledge with us readers. I know you're not a big fan of Western drugs, and can foresee more and more "diseases" being treated with simple herbal holistic drugs of the East. However, I'm asking this question due to widespread confusion on this issue. I'm about to get married in March and, based on my limited online knowledge, recommended my fiancé to take the HPV vaccine shots. Online blogs tell me that this vaccine prevents many forms of cancer in females, like cervical, anal, vaginal & vulvar. It also prevents certain STDs for both males and females. Also, I'm told that this vaccine is supposed to be taken by girls before they turn 25.
Accordingly, she consulted two doctors. Both advised her to go ahead with the vaccination. But she later came to know of a case in her city wherein a girl got herself vaccinated but the vaccine had massive side-effects. There is a general lack of awareness about this vaccine in India and many doctors also don't guide us properly. Could you please shed some light on the vaccine? It would be of great help to us and others. Thanks for your time."
You see the scare mongering!
Vaccine business is a gold mine while drugs have limited market! We now advertise medicines and even ourselves in the media. We, of course, take the Hippocratic oath only to become hypocrites soon after. Doctors are educated by the drug companies; they do it intentionally.
Now the cat is out of the bag. The Independent reports a damning observation undertaken by the Public Accounts Committee on drug companies. The Independent states: "Drug companies have 'routinely and legally' withheld the results of medical trials from doctors, researchers and patients for decades, MPs have said. In a damning report, the Public Accounts Committee said it was of 'extreme concern' that about half of all trial results for medicines available on the global market were not subject to public and independent scrutiny. Warning that doctors and patients are being 'undermined' in their ability to make informed decisions on treatment, the committee called on the Government to act to ensure that the results of all clinical trials of every medicine currently being prescribed are made available. The report will significantly increase pressure on the world's pharmaceutical giants to commit to full transparency over clinical trials. Critics have accused 'Big Pharma' of systematically putting profit before patients, withholding data that might undermine confidence in their blockbuster drugs. MPs said that 'trials which gave a favourable verdict' were 'about twice as likely to be published as trials giving unfavourable results.'".
Further more, the Independent piece states that Dr Ben Goldacre, who gave evidence to the Committee, told that the public had been given "false reassurance" by the pharmaceutical industry and the medical establishment for at least 20 years. "Patients suffer and die unnecessarily because of this," he said. "It's very common that we are persuaded to use the less effective of the available treatments because of withheld trial results.
The report also says, "The Public Accounts Committee said it was 'disturbed' by claims that regulators did not have access to all the available trial data on the anti-viral drug Tamiflu. There was 'limited evidence and widespread disagreement among regulators and other bodies internationally on whether [it] confers any benefits on complications and mortality.'"
Department of Health reviewed whether to spend a further £49m on stockpiling Tamiflu!, the report from The Independent says.
The common man goes by advertisements of the pharma companies in addition to the pharma lobby selling those ideas to doctors. Advertisements make one buy things that s/he does not need! The best example is HPV vaccine Gardasil, developed by Diane Harper who admitted that the jabs are essentially useless and more dangerous than the very conditions they are hailed as preventing and treating. Ethan Huff of Natural News writes: "This was before the vaccine industry apparently convinced her to change her story...Dr. Diane Harper, a key developer of Gardasil, is on the record as having cleared her conscience about this fraudulent vaccine, which has been shown to be both ineffective and dangerous."
Anyone, who goes for a check-up or goes with some vague chest discomfort to a hospital having a cardiac care centre. If the person is affluent, s/he comes back home with either an angioplasty or bypass surgery. Occasionally the victim might end up in heaven also. We make them get panicky by showing them some blocks in the four epicardial vessels that are visualised in the angiogram. The usual conversation goes thus:
"Are those dangerous, doctor?" asks the hapless victim.
"You are sitting on a volcano which might burst and kill you any time sooner than later," tells the cardiologist.
They do not let the victim go home lest s/he should change the mind. They are told that death might even occur on their way home! What we DON'T tell them is that these intraluminal blocks rarely kill. The vulnerable lesions that kill are usually not seen in the angiogram as they are inside the blood vessel wall (intramural) and therefore do not show up as blocks inside the vessel lumen.
Dr Nortin M Hadler, professor of medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and author of The Last Well Person, feels that bypass surgery in particular "should have been relegated to the archives 15 years ago." Except in a minority of patients with severe disease, bypass operations don't prolong life or prevent future heart attacks, nor does angioplasty. "People often believe that having these procedures fixes the problem, as if a plumber came in and fixed the plumbing with a new piece of pipe," explains Dr. L. David Hillis, professor of cardiology at the University of Texas South-Western Medical School. "But it fundamentally doesn't fix the problem."
The heart surgery programme in the US alone is a $100 million business! They thrive on panic mongering. There is compelling evidence that more health care and more aggressive treatment across the complete spectrum of illnesses is not necessarily better.
How do people benefit from these interventions? Recently Harvard Medical School associate professor of medicine Dr Roger J Laham reported on follow-up results of a randomised trial looking at laser surgery to improve blood flow. "Patients who got the surgery had significantly less pain and improved heart function. But so did patients who had a sham operation—the equivalent of a placebo. After 30 months the placebo effect was still there. Scans and other tests showed physiological gains in blood flow among only those who thought they had been operated on. A similar large placebo effect might explain "most of the benefits that we've seen so far with balloon angioplasty and bypass surgery," Laham says.
Medical scare system increases illness in society to the benefit of the medical industry; good for the latter in an affluent society.

Real Teen Kissing Sarah Mae, Mina - Two Lesbos Play With Toys In The Shower
Two very naughty girls were in the bathroom in their panties. They were kissing each other all over their bodies and started rubbing their pussies. As one of the girls sat on the edge of the bathtub, the blonde dove in and started lapping up her pussy. Then the redhead returned the favor by eating the blonde's wet cunt while she bent over in her face. Eventually the girls got into the shower and started using the nozzle to run some water along their clits for warm stimulation. Then the blonde grabbed a dildo and stuffed it in her box while the other girl took a dildo and stuffed it in her ass. She had a double penetration as the girls kissed.

My wife and I spent our 5th wedding anniversary and have no regrets. We love to travel to Sedona Az and stay at the Dreamaker, but Polly Harper more than made up for staying local. My wife and I love to bike the rails to trails and then come back to a comfortable bed & jaccuzzi Polly Harper had both. Its only about 7 miles from the Austinburg trailhead to the Western Reserve Greenway paved rails to trail which offers 48 miles of flat trails with numerous species of birds and animals right on the trail. Also offers easy drive to numerous covered bridges nearby. Although we are not winery fans if you are, they are abundant in the area and grape vines are a stone throw from the inn. Many websites tend to make the location look better than it is, but their website does not due it justice. The rooms and house exceeded our expectations despite viewing the pictures ahead of time.
One nice touch was the fact that breakfast is available at 7:30 but you get to pick the time you want to eat. Two of the rooms have in room dinning tables.
If you are an avid biker looking for the safety of rails to trails or just looking for a romantic get away this is a great spot. I saved about $60 over a local chain hotel with a Jacuzzi and hands down the rooms don't even compare. Glad I found them instead
You are also very close to Geneva on the Lake and and other Lake Erie Attractions
For the price you can't beat this

Wednesday dawned (well, as much as a day can dawn when it's cloudy and raining) and it was pouring! I had to go to traffic court all the way up in Yanceyville in Caswell County (that speeding ticked from the weekend of the NC BC Boards picnic) and I was worried about making it on time because news reports were that streams were flooding back roads.
I went out to feed and the barn looked like the set from "A River Runs Through It." No kidding. Whoever situated this barn on the downhill side of a hill with no drainage measures must not have been thinking. When it rains, the water runs through. When it pours, the water pours through. On my way out the drive, I checked the rain guage. Five inches! Woohoo!
I'll not go into the details of my day at court. Suffice to say that it's one big moneymaking scheme--show up and your ticket will automatically be reduced. Sit there all day for your 15 seconds of pleading guilty to a lesser speed, give us your money, and thank you, have a nice day. I will say that they had something like 357 cases scheduled, and public parking spaces for maybe 25 cars. Nothing like having to park a quarter mile or more away and hike to the courthouse in the pouring rain (there was just no way not to be soaked).
Anyway, while I was whiling away my time in the courtroom and getting a lot of reading (The Worst Hard Time) done, folks down my way were braving tornado sightings, school lockdowns, and roads closed due to flooding. I had to take the long way home down 85 since the back roads I normally take were closed.
That means I missed the worst of the flooding here as well. Jimmy said that at one point the sheep were up to their knees in water standing in the bottom of the pasture near their round bale. The spring/creek that runs through the bottom there (at the bottom of a 6-foot-deep gully) was overflowing. The road we take to the back of the property was overflowing, and the culvert Lark likes to jump under was a raging torrent that even she wouldn't brave.
Hello, sheep? There's plenty of high ground you could move to.
Lark actually did make her jump once, but the water was rushing so hard that I think it scared her because while she would stand there looking at the water coming out of the culvert (the same water she likes to snatch at as she jumps into the pool below) she refused to make a second jump.
Here you can see how much water is rushing out, but just an hour earlier when Jimmy shot some video, the culvert was completely full and the water came up over the edge that Lark is standing on, so it has already receded significantly in this photo.
The final tally? Seven inches! I'm sure it came down at such a rate that most of it ran off, but some moisture must have gotten to our pastures, and at least the creeks, ponds, and aquifers will have benefited from the run off. I think we were down a total of 12 inches between this year and last, so at least we've made up part of that. And the good news is that I didn't really complain at all, even with 40 muddy paws to deal with. I had promised I wouldn't bitch and moan if we just got some much-needed rain, and since Mother Nature came through with the rain, I held up my end of the bargain too.
Phoebe does have a nickname or two. Since she was little, she's been known as the "rabid possum" because, well, she's a bit snarky and when she's wet she does look like a possum. She's also known as "pigpen," and you can see why from the photos below.
Here she's continuing her excavation work by Lark's swimming hole, trying to expand it. Excavation is so much more fun when there's also muddy water in the hole!
If anything that was planted in the fall garden plots remains after all that rain, Phoebe is doing her best to remove it.

Harman was a supporter of social democrat economic policies, and is desperate to fight the overall economic depression in the UK.

The conservative Tory party and the far-right British National Party are both often openly bashed her in the media during her reign.
Harman resigned in 2013 after the fateful public poll which led Scotland to leave the United Kingdom. Her resignation was mostly seen by the public as an acceptance of guilt in the matter. She was succeeded as Prime Minister by Tory party leader John Major. SInce her resignation, Harman left politics to pursue a career in the private sector.

Fairing Slider Kit, FJR1300A
Fairing Slider Kit, FJR1300A
Questions about this product? Call 1-800-491-2926 or e-mail our sales team
The risk of dropping your bike is ever present, and on fully faired bikes such as the FJR 1300, it can be really expensive. Our fairing crash bungs have been developed by LSL, and offer safe protection if you drop your bike or have a fall. The combination of decorative outer shell and replaceable plastic interior is new. The outer shell is a finely turned aluminum "mushroom" with a decoratively colored coating. The rounded contour adapts to edges on the road surface (manhole covers, potholes etc.) like a runner, and thereby prevents snagging. The plastic inner part cushions the impact in the event of a fall, and reduces the speed of the vehicle. After minor slides, only the plastic slider needs to be changed. When sliding at higher speed, the off-center contact surface of the pad guides the sliding bike, thereby preventing it from rotating and reducing the risk of overturning.

As October is National Disability Employment Awareness Month, it provides all Americans with an opportunity to recognize the important contributions of workers with disabilities. On Wednesday, I was honored to tour Crossroads Industrial Services, a nonprofit division of Easter Seals Crossroads, which provides jobs for people with disabilities. Crossroads Industrial Services employs over 100 employees, 75 percent of whom have a disability.
Crossroads is a proud participant in the Ability One Program. This program provides employment opportunities to more than 40,000 people by leveraging the purchasing power of the federal government to buy products and services from participating, community-based nonprofits dedicated to training and employing individuals with disabilities. I look forward to working with Crossroads and other disability providers in Central Indiana in the weeks and months to come.

After more than two-and-a-half years of negotiations for a new contract, the union representing some 1,900 NetJets pilots is closer to resolving their differences with NetJets management. According to Dave Vermeulen, chairman of the pilot's union master executive council, the two sides recently reached agreement over benefits and an improved system for handling pilot grievances, disciplinary actions and terminations. At press time, negotiations were under way over scope, salary and retirement issues. Vermeulen credited NetJets president Bill Boisture for helping to create an atmosphere of cooperation, including NetJets' recent establishment of a labor-relations department.

The Sha'Kurian Ducal Territories is the name of the government of the Sha'Kurian species.
The true origin of the Sha'Kurians is not known except from what Klingon Imperial Intelligence has managed to gather. What is known is that they are an old race, one that does not have its origins within the Beta Quadrant but are in fact native to the Delta Quadrant.
Intelligence believed that the Sha'Kurians once possessed a large and mighty empire within that region of space after their development of warp technology, which may have not come naturally and which may have actually been acquired from another species. Regardless, their race expanded for hundreds of years but eventually fell apart due to internal dissension which may have sparked civil wars that ultimately destroyed this empire.
The empire which lasted for hundreds of years was eventually torn apart when the Imperial Family was assassinated by a group that history files call as the 'Nameless Ones'. This period was known as the 'The Collapse' in Sha'Kurian lore, when the internal conflicts resulted in many conflicts with the feudal houses being absorbed by the victors or destroyed which eventually meant that the empire shrank to a fraction of its original size. To survive, a faction of the Sha'Kurian people, led by the last few feudal families, left on an exodus to a new region of space to continue their species which is their current territory however the internal conflicts that plagued their race continued.
As the fighting continued for many years, the feudal families were reduced to twelve which became the rulers of the Sha'Kurian Ducal Territories, each led by the Dukes. As this government was formed, the Sha'Kurians declared the maintenance of the status quo to protect whatever power that was left. This ruling council, known as the House of Lords, serves in a manner similar to the Klingon High Council however it possessed no central leader. All the decisions were decided by a simple majority vote.
Minor skirmishes continued over the years however none of the feudal houses were to be destroyed as decided by the House of Lords which ensured that a collapse as they suffered in the past did not happen. Had things continued, it's likely the Sha'Kurians would have remained in this state for the rest of their lives but this was not the case. In the year 2245, elements of the Klingon Defense Force first discovered the Sha'Kurians when the Klingons fought two fleets engaged in battle as two of the Duchies were fighting in one of their regular skirmishes. When the Klingons entered the fray and took several resource rich worlds in the name of the Empire, the Rules of War came into effect which resulted in both Duchies disengaging from the internal conflict and uniting against the Klingons which caught the Defense Force off-guard. Thus, it became common knowledge that when facing the threat of invasion, the Sha'Kurians would be united and drove the Klingons from their territory.
Later, in the year 2258, the Klingons had acquired cloaking technology and attempted to gather intelligence on the Ducal Territories. A cloaked force was sent to probe the region but it never returned as it was eventually learnt that the Sha'Kurians possessed effective means to combat cloaking technology, a fact that the Romulans had also discovered years earlier but had neglected to mention to the Klingons.
At some point, the Sha'Kurians went on an incursion outside their territory to attack a Romulan outpost on the border. During this raid, the Ducal Territories managed to incorporate Gorn Graviton Density Distortion Sphere Generator technology into their ships.
The fate of this government is not known however it is known that they were quite active in the years before the final peace treaty between the Federation and the Klingon Empire.
The Sha'Kurian Ducal Territories consists of as many as twelve Duchies, each consisting of a Duke that sits on the Sha'Kurian House of Lords. Each Duke follows a strict code of law known as the Sha'Kurian Rules of Law that details what actions they must take while they maintain their self governance. This includes uniting with the other Duchies (even if they are engaged in battle with them) if outside threats emerge that threaten the united Ducal Territories. Another facet of the Rules includes the continued survival of the remaining Royal Families and ensures that none of them are destroyed in the many internal conflicts the Duchies enter, which occur at an unusually seasonal period. This has also forced the Sha'Kurians a mandatory capture of prisoners in these battles to ensure that these strict rules are not broken and is perhaps the only thing that keeps the Sha'Kurians from returning civil wars that destroyed their large interstellar empire.
Very little is known about Sha'Kurians or their society. What is known is that they are an ancient, feudal, xenophobic, warrior species that is very protective of their territory and can be incredibly united when facing outside threats.
At heart, the Sha'Kurians are a warrior species but to hone these skills, the Duchies employ the curious practice of fielding mercenary fleets and hiring them to other groups. This has a two sided effect; the first being, it allows a source of income for the Royal Family patron of the mercenary fleet and secondly, it allows young warriors to gain valuable experience in the field of battle. This is how the Sha'Kurians are most encountered outside the battlefield arena. This combined with the Rules of War of mandatory taking prisoners allows the Sha'Kurians to build an effective pool of experienced, fearsome warriors.
Sha'Kurian fleets consist of primarily fighter designs and are perhaps one of the few races that embrace the concept of fighter as well as bomber designs in the use of starship combat. Larger carriers are used in the deployment of these which literally allows the Sha'Kurians to swarm targets even if they are larger more dangerous ones. However, this strength also can serve as their weakness as the destruction of the command ship can leave the fighter flights uncoordinated and easily defeated.
Starship classesEdit
|This article or subsection has an associated category.
|Sha'Kurian starship classes
- Alpha-class super carrier
- Long Fang-class carrier
- Hunter-class light carrier
- Warrior-class carrier
- Sharp Tooth-class bomber
- Claw-class fighter
Its position is located near both the Klingon and Romulan empires, as well as the Gorn Hegemony, in the Beta Quadrant.
The Ducal Territories possess many of the standard technologies that other governments possess such as transporters, shields, both warp drive and impulse drives however they lack the more advanced weaponry such as photon torpedoes. Their shield technology is rudimentary at best while their starships are made of a weak hull design which enemy ships have been known to exploit as Sha'Kurian ships do not possess the staying power of enemy vessels. They supplement this disadvantage with the development of certain key technologies which has ensured their survival. One such advantage is a better usage of speed in combat tactics making Sha'Kurian ships far faster then their enemy equivalents.
In the field of weapons, Sha'Kurians are known to make use of phasers, which are both weaker as well as short ranged compared to equivalents, and heavy usage of missile technology known as Impulse Velocity Projectiles.
They are quite proficient in the use of sensor technology which is so refined that it is capable of piercing Cloaking devices which is the key advantage of both the Klingon Empire and Romulan Star Empire and has resulted in numerous loses for both those governments in their attempts at conquering Sha'Kurian space. This combined with their extensive use of fighter tactics allows them to spread a web to detect cloaked ships.
A recent acquisition of the Sha'Kurians is gravitational density distortion sphere technology that they have adapted for their own use even though it is originally a Gorn technological design. The development of these weapons has greatly enhanced the survival capability of Sha'Kurian ships.

text: CWC South Africa Day 3 By Magicseaweed on 29th July 2010 1 of 7 The Cold Water Classic Series has always offered the wild and rugged and yesterday was no exception. Dawn broke on some decent sized surf and the competition got down to the business end, running up until the quarter finals. With action comes drama and both the current World Number One, Jordy Smith as well as the current CWC Series leader, Royden Bryson were knocked out of the competition opening up the field for both the event and series title. © Fox/magicseaweed.com "It would have been nice to win three events here in South Africa," said Jordy - talking about latest wins firstly in his hometown of Durban, then his first World Tour win at J-Bay. "But it's also just cool to be here in Cape Town and have a contest here. I've been having fun and seeing friends." As the crowds flocked to the beach, Jordy Smith wowed all in his first heat of the day, before bowing out to Greg Emslie and now new local hero Matt Bromley in the Round of 32. © Fox/magicseaweed.com "Jordy is such an amazing surfer. Just to make that heat meant so much to me," said Kometijie local Matt Bromley after his heat in the Round of 32. Matt then unfortunately stalled in the Round of 16. © Fox/magicseaweed.com It was the third day of competition at the O'Neill Cold Water Classic South Africa here on the Cape Peninsula, and it was the third different location in a row, held today at Longbeach - but even that didn't remain the same. "It's like a completely different break out there this afternoon then it was this morning - with the tide and the winds," said Shaun Joubert - one of 6 South African quarter finalists. He is joined by Chad Du Toit, Frankie Oberholzer, Greg Emslie, Antonio Bortoletto and Daniel Redman. © Fox/magicseaweed.com Standing out were the two Australians - Dion Atkinson and Shaun Cansdell. "I get along with the South Africans. Between them and the Australians there's a really good vibe - and I travel with one pretty much full time," said Dion, who despite battling flu powered through to the quarters. As for Shaun Canselll - while all the focus has been on Royden Bryson and Stuart Kennedy vying for the CWC Series lead, sitting quietly behind them has been Shaun, although there is nothing quiet about his surfing at this event. "I really enjoy surfing lefthanders being a goofy footer and am pretty stoked to surf them in an event," said Shaun. "It's pretty wild conditions out there with that wind, and there's a really cold current come in today so it's freezing." "I was in third before this event," he said of the CWC Seires rankings. "I would have to go pretty well but there's still three events including this one - so anything can happen. Anyone could take it. © Fox/magicseaweed.com Chad du Toit bashes the lip into submission. © Fox/magicseaweed.com The event is looking to finish today (Thurdsay, July 29th) in a 4-6ft swell.

Khan, Malignaggi brawl during fight weigh-in
NEW YORK -- Junior welterweight champion Amir Khan and Paulie Malignaggi have been trading verbal jabs for weeks, and their mutual dislike escalated into a shoving match during their weigh-in at a hotel ballroom Friday.
They'll finally exchange blows on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.
Khan will be defending his WBA version of the title in his first fight in the United States, taking on former IBF titleholder Malignaggi just across the East River from his home in Brooklyn. The fight is expected to sell out the Garden's smaller theater.
If promoters were having any trouble selling tickets, they got some help from the near-brawl that took place between the fighters' camps Friday at the Essex House.
Both had made the 140-pound limit and turned to face each other for the traditional stare-down photo opportunity. They began arguing and briefly touched heads before they started pushing each other, and several dozen people began to rush the small stage.
No punches were thrown and the room was eventually cleared out.
"Here's where things get dicey," said Malignaggi's promoter, Lou DiBella. "Will it sell more tickets? Maybe. But honestly, from my standpoint I was scared. I've been in this 20 years now, and I was still scared when that was going on."
DiBella was incensed that a weigh-in that was supposed to be closed to the public wound up with about a hundred supporters for Khan, the former Olympic silver medalist from Britain. There were only a couple dozen people from Malignaggi's team in attendance.
"It was disgraceful," DiBella said. "When they weighed in, they charged the stage, and I don't think Khan knew it was happening behind him. I think he thought it was Paulie's people. It was Khan's followers, and Khan shoved Paulie, and it was a dangerous scene."
It's unclear whether any fines or suspensions will result from incident. State athletic commission chairman Melvina Lathan did not return a call seeking comment.
"It was getting pretty heated, but thank God nobody got injured and nothing bad happened," said Khan's promoter, Richard Schaefer. "Big fights always attract a lot of people, and I guess some of those people made it into the ballroom where the weigh-in was held."
Schaefer had a different perspective on who started the incident.
He said he was standing near the fighters when they started to argue, and was about to step in to separate them when he "saw Malignaggi grabbing Khan's neck. And then the pushing started and a lot of people jumped in the middle, and I then took Amir off the stage to the corner and everybody calmed down there. And that's all I really saw."
Khan (22-1, 16 KOs) had been considered one of the hottest prospects in boxing until a stunning loss to Breidis Prescott two years ago, but he's regrouped to win four straight fights and a world title. Along the way, he stopped previously unbeaten Dmitriy Salita in 76 seconds.
He's revamped his physique and his style, transferring some of his upper-body muscle to his legs under the watchful eye of Freddie Roach, who also trains Manny Pacquiao. The two fighters have sparred together numerous times over the past year.
Khan's first fight in the United States has reminded many people of when Naseem Hamed came over in 1997. He also made his debut at the Garden against another New York-based fighter who was prone to speaking his mind, Kevin Kelley. The promotion featured plenty of trash talk and the fight had a series of knockdowns before Hamed ended it with a fourth-round knockout.
"I'm going to send a statement to the 140-pound division," Khan said earlier this week. "I can't wait to beat him, you know, because Paulie needs shutting up and I think I'm the only guy who can shut him up properly. He won't think about coming back, because I think this is his only last chance he's ever going to get."
Malignaggi (27-3, 5 KOs) should have a hometown advantage and has been in numerous high-profile fights during his career, ring savvy that he can use to his advantage.
But he's giving up size and power to the champion, and their speed is a wash.
"This is the redemption right here, this is what I was waiting for, because nobody thought I would be back in a world championship fight," Malignaggi said. "Everybody is saying this guy is so great, he's the future, all this. Don't forget that after the fight Saturday night."

John Mayer Range Roves in Jen Aniston's Car
They've officially become one. After weeks of PDAs and cozy dinners and inner-circle meet-and-greets, John Mayer is now tooling around town in Jennifer Aniston's car.
It's not like he doesn't have any wheels of his own. Okay, well, his Land Rover probably still doesn't have any plates on it, so that's out. And his Technicolor dreamcar? That's way too flashy for everyday use.
So, John opted for a sturdy SUV that serves dual purposes. He can pick up his lady's dry-cleaning AND extend the stream of gossip items that true love is indeed in bloom.
Or at least, true publicity.

When Milton Ochieng '04 and Fred Ochieng '05 left their small village of Lwala, Kenya for a private high school near Nairobi, they were struck by the comparative lack of health care in their hometown.
After graduating and receiving the Lombard Post-Grad Fellowship from the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding, Fred returned home to Lwala in the summer with five Dartmouth students and alumni where he was soon reminded of the region's health care problems.
"A pregnant woman who was about to deliver developed complications and was being taken in a wheelbarrow down a dirt road to the nearest treatment facility," he said. "She bled to death on the way, and both the child and mother were lost."
Fred and Milton broke ground on the Lwala Community Clinic in June.
The facility is designed to serve the 4,000 residents of Lwala and the surrounding region who are currently without basic primary health care.
"We started fundraising in January and by the end of June we already had $27,000 from friends, families and different connections," Fred said.
Milton, who is currently studying at Vanderbilt Medical School, said that treating malaria, providing prenatal and postnatal care and delivering antiretroviral drugs for HIV patients are the clinic's most pressing concerns.
Lwala is located in the Nyanza Province, which has one of the highest HIV infection rates in Kenya.
Currently, HIV-positive patients seeking antiretroviral drugs must travel over 40 kilometers at considerable expense to receive treatment.
The clinic, which has completed its first phase of construction, is currently in the process of installing electricity and running water.
In Hanover, the Lwala Development Committee, a group of students, faculty and community members devoted to raising funds, is assisting with the clinic project.
"We need to raise a substantial amount of money, probably $50,000 minimum," said committee chairman Craig Parker, who is also the campus minister for the Navigators Christian Fellowship. "We want to have enough to sustain the clinic for the next few years."
Caitlin Reiner '06, who also serves on the committee, spent last summer in Lwala and other parts of Kenya.
"The stories that I heard from the people in the village made it shockingly clear that this was needed," Reiner said. She is involved primarily in the committee's education arm, which raises money for Lwala area youth to go to high school.
Fred and Milton cited numerous sources of inspiration and support for their project.
They were both involved with the Navigators during their time at Dartmouth, and both said that the spring break service trips that the group organized impacted them significantly. Milton has also met with the celebrated economist Jeffrey Sachs to discuss the project.
The brothers, along with members of the Dartmouth and Vanderbilt communities, will be spend a portion of the summer in Lwala working on the clinic and HIV education initiatives. In the fall, Fred will return to the United States to begin studying at Vanderbilt Medical School.
While it is unclear when the clinic will begin seeing patients, organizers hope that it will open by Jan. 1.
The Ochieng brothers have created a webpage within the Vanderbilt Medical School website containing further information about the Lwala project.

Can someone please tell me how to get my chocolate buttercream to a dark brown? Thanks
add brown food coloring
I've already added some brown coloring. Maybe I need to add alot more?
yep. I wanted a darker brown once and thought I'd add black to it .... uh, that turns it black-ish, not brown. So don't try that one.
Try and and add some cocoa powder. If you get the Dutch process cocoa it is very dark brown, the regular cocoa is a bit more brick coloured.
Now it is late already. Next time exchange in your buttercream part of the sugar for dark cocoa - you get brown buttercream and don't need as much food coloring.
Add some dark cocoa powder (100% cocoa, not cocoa drink which has some milk solids and sugar in it) . It turns a nice dark brown and gives a yummy chocolate taste.
You also may need to reduce sugar in your buttercream and add melted dark chocolate to it to balance the taste and texture.
I went through that whole dark brown chocolate thing myself. I kept adding brown food coloring, wanting the dark color with fresh BC dark, not realizing that it turns much darker as it crusts up. Just adding a bag of melted semi-sweets gives me a dark icing without food coloring. But you wouldn't think so by looking at it right away.
When I make chocolate buttercream, I use my regular recipe, then add as much cocoa as I need to get whatever color I want. If you're going for a dark chocolate it may take 1/2 the container of cocoa or more depending on how much frosting you have. You will have to add more milk or water to your frosting to compensate.
I ran into the same problem once and I needed darker brown fast, brown coloring didn't work and a run to the store was not an option. I had some store bought chocolate fudge frosting on hand, I added that to my homemade chocolate buttercream and it worked great. HTH
Hershey's Special Dark cocoa powder does it every time!
Thanks eveyone for such quick responses. Since I've already made my frosting do you think it would be okay to add the special dark cocoa to it or will it be too chocolate?
Wait....whats too much chocolate????
Seriously, yes, just add until you get the color you want and as I said you may need more liquid.
No such thing as too much chocolate! I say just go for it! If you use dry cocoa I would sift it together with a little powdered sugar to stop it from clumping, then add it to your BC with a little more liquid until you get the right consistency.
Add some black to your icing slowly until you get the color you want. Brown is basically red and black anyway. Usually there is a red tint already in the icing so you can darken it with the black. Also I have added some green to get certain hues.

Cal Worthington of Worthington Ford – who died in September at 92 – will be awarded the 2014 City National Bank Entrepreneur of the Year award by the Long Beach Chamber of Commerce on April3.
Worthington is probably best known for his decades-long television ad spots that featured him and his dog "Spot" – which was always any animal but a dog.
A lanky pitchman in a Stetson hat, Worthington became one of the most iconic auto dealers in the West, with 23 dealerships in Texas, California, Nevada, Washington and Alaska, with a flagship location in Long Beach. Worthington was born in 1920 in the middle of the Dust Bowl in Shidler, Okla.
Worthington's grandson, Nick Worthington, who manages Worthington Ford today, will accept the award on behalf of his grandfather.
"Worthington Ford is a Long Beach success story that continues today," Randy Gordon, president and CEO of the Long Beach Chamber said in a statement. "Cal had the vision, the business acumen and entrepreneurial spirit to grow his dealership as it has thrived for many decades."
Gordon praised the unique sense of humor Worthington put forth in his ads. "Cal was a fixture on Southern California television and became famous for his ads with a menagerie of live animals," Gordon said.
The Entrepreneur of the Year award will be bestowed at a chamber luncheon at the Hyatt Regency Long Beach. The event starts at 10:30 a.m. and goes to 11:30 a.m., said Jim Haney, senior vice president and regional manager of commercial banking services at City National Bank.

Wiley Rein & Fielding's John F. Kamp Co-Authors Book on Strategies to Win FDA Drug Approvals and Then Stay in Compliance with FDA Rules
Washington, DC—Wiley Rein & Fielding attorney and executive director of the Coalition for Healthcare Communication John F. Kamp, a recognized leading advocate of drug marketing issues, and Wayne L. Pines, an expert on regulatory and media matters involving pharmaceuticals and biologics and a former FDA's associate commissioner for public affairs, have authored the just published book Making Your Case to the FDA. The book is the latest volume in FDAnews' six-book series edited by Kamp and Pines titled Strategies for Winning at the FDA.
Making Your Case to the FDA unveils successful communication strategies used by pharmaceutical companies and their advisors to accelerate the drug approval process. In doing so, it illuminates the inner workings of the agency and recommends best practices for communicating with regulators before, during and after a product's approval. The book covers the two most important and distinct aspects of the FDA's communication pipeline: what to do while an application is pending and complying with post-approval advertising and promotion rules.
Numerous medical executives prize Dr. Kamp's public policy expertise, and he is a frequent speaker at industry meetings on the legal and political issues surrounding drug marketing. He serves on the public advisory committees of the American Academy of Family Physicians and WebMD, and is an editorial advisor for the Rx Compliance Report and the FDA Advertising and Promotion Manual.

Remove Or Change Blue Border On HoverAsked by longo on June 06, 2013 at 03:25 AM
Hi, is it possible to remove or change the colour of the blue border line which appears around the text areas on hover? Its not there with Chrome so I'm guessing it may be a browser specific thing? Firebug wasn't much help on this occassion.
JotForm Support
Is your form embedded? If yes, let us know the website URL so we can check it here. I can see a blue glow on FF when textarea is hovered or if it's active though it's not that huge, it's just a little normal glow. Example:
JotForm Support
I see, your current field borders doesn't have defined color that's why it uses default browser border settings. Defining border colors might help, example:
.form-textarea, .form-textbox{
border: 1px solid #cacaca;
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks.
You are welcome.
Glad to know that your issue was resolved.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

A group of artists and craftspeople from in and around Ashton have formed a new group to promote their work.
Ashton Arts Group was set up by artist Tony Shorthouse, who paints and runs art classes from his home at Tresowes Green.
There are currently nine members, of whom five will be taking part in Open Studios later this month, from May 24 to June 1.
Digby Atkinson is a former art director whose career included 13 years working with Charles Saatchi. His varied work includes drawing, painting, 3D work and print-making.
Jane Bath produces figurative painting, 3D and textile pieces using mixed media including wax, straw, inks, paint and cloth, while Kevin Harris is a furniture maker and woodworker producing items mainly by hand. His off-cuts are turned into smaller items, and leftovers are returned to the land as mulch.
Jackie Harrison produces handwoven textiles, in the form of wall hangings, rugs and tapestries featuring the colours and pattern of the Cornish coastline, while Leach Pottery trained ceramicist Nic Harrison's work is enriched by the use of iron glazes.
Rachel Jeffery produces images inspired by Cornish rock pools and waves, Linda Matthews is inspired by the coastline near her home in ever-changing weather conditions, and often uses mixed media to create surface texture, and Ingrid Sofrin paints seascapes, many of which feature views of Porthleven, as well as still life subjects.
Finally, group founder Tony Shorthouse paints impressionistic views of the Cornish coast and landscape, interspersed with character portraits.
The group will be holding a joint exhibition at the Lifeboat Art Studio in Porthleven for a week from September 19, and will have a stall at Porthleven Lifeboat Day on August 10.

Frequently Asked Questions
Dreams to Reality:
Q:  How can I try a Lopatin flute or head joint?
A: The Lopatin Flute Company exhibits at a number of regional events each year as well as the National Flute Association's annual convention. Instruments can be tried at these events. Head joints are available for immediate purchase and orders for flute are accepted. Visitors to the western North Carolina area can visit our workshop simply by calling for an appointment. Private showings can sometimes be arranged while we are in that region for a flute show, if there is sufficient interest. For example, if a professor at a college has a class who would be interested in trying Lopatin instruments, they can contact us to see if such a meeting may be feasible while we are attending a flute show in that area. These showings are usually scheduled to coincide with a local flute fair or convention. It is also sometimes possible to send instruments out for trial.
Q:  How can we get the Lopatin Flute Company to exhibit at our local or regional flute fair/festival?
A: Ask Leonard Lopatin to perform! We are a small company and there are so many flute fairs and festivals. We have to choose carefully which we can attend. From our standpoint it makes good sense to promote Leonard Lopatin the musician along with the Lopatin Flute Company and the SquareONE family of flutes.
Interested? Listen to samples from Leonard Lopatin's 2 CD's, Squarely Baroque, and Squarely in the Holiday Spirit! at CDBaby.com or Amazon.com.
Q:  What is the idea behind the SquareONE design?
A: With square tone holes, the air column arrives at a straight edge. This means that the air column for the note you are fingering is a uniform length. This gives the flute great clarity, fast response, and a unique tone quality. Click here to read our paper, Discussion of the Square Tone Hole Flute to see illustrations which show in more detail how this works.
Q:  Why should I buy a Lopatin flute? What makes them special?
A: Being a flutist myself, and one who has always demanded a lot from a flute, I know how I want a flute to sound, feel, and look. But that could lead a flute maker to design flutes only to his personal taste and not that of his customers, so I have learned to listen carefully to what players tell me. I never stop trying to learn those things which help me make flutes that satisfy a broad range of players. I strive to make an instrument to my standards and to your taste. Also important is the attention I give to detail. Some of these may be so small as to be visible only to me. Details of this kind may seem insignificant when considered individually, but taken all together, they help create an instrument of unequalled refinement. That is time well spent.
Q:  Are all your head joints cut the same way?
A: As you will see on the Head Joints page, there are three distinct styles offered: the Scherzo, the Lopatin style, and the Modern Traditional. Each has its own character. The Scherzo is fiery and brilliant. The Lopatin is smooth, rich, and colorful. The Modern Traditional is dark and powerful.
Q:  How long have you been making flutes?
A: I have been making flutes for almost 30 years. I began working at Brannen Brothers in 1979 but, after a while, switched to part-time in order to do more playing. By 1989, the first SquareONE had been completed. With that, the Lopatin Flute Company was born. Although I started producing the SquareONE in 1989, I usually say that the Lopatin Flute Company was established in 1994 because that is when I officially separated from Brannen and began to make conventional flutes in addition to the SquareONE. For more information on my training and other details, please see my autobiographical article which appeared in the June 2007 issue of Pan, the Journal of the British Flute Society, entitled:
Q:  What
is the Lopatin Scale and how is it different from the scales
other flute companies use?
A: As a long-time professional flutist, I have had considerable experience playing and testing flutes with many different scales. The difficulties that most performers encountered on the "traditional" or "long" scale flutes when I was growing up were a sharp high register and a flat low register. The reason for this seemed to be that the flute makers of the day had responded to a rising pitch standard simply by shortening the head joint or the upper end of the center joint. Doing so raised the pitch of the flute unevenly, raising the high register more than the low register.
In the early 1970's, I became aware of the work of Albert Cooper. Cooper had come to the correct conclusion that it was necessary to re-work the spacing of all the tone holes, as well as shortening the overall length in order to raise the three registers equally. I found that the scales on flutes which followed Cooper's example were a great improvement. However, it seemed that many of the third octave notes were still sharp, though less so than previously. By further lowering some of the left hand tone holes, those which are used to vent third octave notes, I was able to make the highest notes on the flute much more in tune.
No two flutists play the exactly the same way, and there will always be compromises in the tuning of a flute. At Lopatin Flute Company, we feel that our scale will suit the majority of players. However, if a player desires that a different scale be used, this can be done by special request.
Q:  You were once the piccolo player with the Metropolitan Opera. Why did you leave a position like that to go into flutemaking?
A: From the time I started playing the flute, I was curious about how the flute worked and how they were made. Long before I learned to make flutes, I had begun to formulate ideas for improvements and changes. Although I was (and like to think I still am) an excellent player, I think that there are others who can do an equally fine job interpreting the piccolo parts in operas. It seemed, though, that my ideas about the flute were more original. If they were to become a reality, it was clear I would have to be the one to make it so.
Q:  Have you ever considered using square tubing instead of round, or any other shape (say, triangular) for the tone holes and cups?
A: Yes, after I first thought of using square tone holes but long before I finally made my prototype (more than ten years) I mentally explored the possibilities of different shapes, including the square tubing. I gave each careful consideration but none of them seemed as full of potential as the square shaped tone hole. Triangles and hexagons would give a tone hole a straight edge I felt was imperative, but neither would allow for as much air venting as the square. I'll admit I didn't dwell too long on square tubing since I suspected that a different shape would change too many factors regarding the dynamics of air flow and that's not what I was interested in doing. I wasn't trying to change how the flute plays, simply to make it better. To this end, I made my prototype and first few flutes with square tone holes that were exactly the same area as the round. I found that yes, giving a straight edge to each tone hole makes a difference. But, I eventually found that allowing the right hand holes to be bigger and the foot joint holes to be as large as physically possible, that the combination of straight edge and increased volume of air makes the best difference of all. Another flutemaker of my acquaintance did some experimentation with D shaped tone holes (giving them the straight edge), but the main result was a decrease in the amount of air flow compared with fully round holes which offset any benefit which the straight might have given it.
The only other shape I feel could possibly be practical would be rectangular slots, similar to what Carlo Tommaso Giorgi designed in the latter half of the nineteenth century. (See picture below). These could be all the same width across the tube with increasing lengths as they descend down the tube. This has the potential for allowing each note to have absolutely as much venting as it needs, but as it would involve totally redesigning the flute, I'll leave that notion to someone with more ambition than I. I will happily play-test anyone else's efforts, though!

Can Testing for Antibodies to Deamidated Gliadin Peptide Allow Earlier Celiac Disease Diagnosis in Children?

- Celiac Disease & Gluten Intolerance Research
- Unrated
Celiac.com 01/29/2015 - Testing for tissue transglutaminase antibodies (TGA) is currently a common part of attempting to diagnose celiac disease. A research team wanted to find out if determination of antibodies to synthetic deamidatedgliadin peptides (anti-DGP) might work as an alternative or complement to TGA testing.
To find out, the team assessed the performance of a time-resolved immunofluorometry (TR-IFMA) based anti-DGP assay in the diagnosis of celiac disease in children, and also retrospectively analyzed the appearance of anti-DGP antibodies before TGA seroconversion. The research team included A. Lammi, P. Arikoski, S. Simell, T. Kinnunen, V. Simell, S. Paavanen-Huhtala, A. Hinkkanen, R. Veijola, M. Knip, J. Toppari, O. Vaarala, O. Simell, and J. Ilonen.
They are variously affiliated with the Department of Clinical Microbiology and the A.I. Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences at the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio, Finland, the Department of Pediatrics at Kuopio University Hospital and University of Eastern Finland, Kuopio, Finland, the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Oulu and Oulu University Hospital in Oulu, Finland, the Children's Hospital, and the Institute of Clinical Medicine at the University of Helsinki in Helsinki, Finland, the Folkhälsan Research Center in Helsinki, Finland, the Department of Pediatrics at Tampere University Hospital in Tampere, Finland, the Immunogenetics Laboratory, and the Department of Physiology at the University of Turku, and with the Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine at the University of Turku and Turku University Hospital in Turku, Finland.
For their study, the team assessed 92 children with biopsy-confirmed celiac disease. The team took blood samples at the time of, or just prior to, clinical diagnosis. The team also assessed a control group of 82 TGA-negative children who were positive for HLA-DQ2 or -DQ8.
Based on receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves, they found that the optimal cut-off value for IgA anti-DGP positivity was 153 arbitrary units (AU) with a sensitivity of 92.4% and specificity of 97.6%, while the optimal cut-off value for IgG anti-DGP 119 AU, with a sensitivity of 97.8% and specificity of 97.6%.
They found that all 92 children with celiac disease tested positive for either IgA or IgG anti-DGP at the time of diagnosis.
Blood results from 48 children with celiac disease, analyzed retrospectively before the diagnosis, showed that anti-DGP antibodies preceded TGA positivity in 35 of 48 celiac disease children and appeared an average of one year earlier.
From these results, the TR-IFMA test for detecting anti-DGP antibodies shows high sensitivity and specificity for celiac disease in children. For most of the patients, anti-DGP seropositivity preceded TGA positivity, which means that monitoring anti-DGP antibodies frequently in genetically susceptible children might allow doctors to spot celiac disease earlier than allowed by current tests.

Tesco in the U.K. is intent on reducing food waste, therefore, will be donating ALL the food surplus from its supermarkets to shelters, food banks, and community centers by the end of 2017.
Recently, Tesco in the U.K. announced that it will be establishing a program to dramatically reduce the amount of food that is wasted. This will be done by donating all of the food surplus generated by its 800 stores to charities capable of utilizing the resources.
As the video above reveals, the grocery store's new Community Food Connection will redirect millions of meals to shelters, food banks, and community centers by the end of 2017. To determine the effectiveness of the program, a trial in Merseyside, England, was first conducted. Reportedly, it made a massive difference to charities in the area.
Good News Network reports that so far, fourteen Tesco stores have adopted the scheme within the past six months. This has resulted in over 22 tons of food – the equivalent to 50,000 meals – being shuffled off to food shelters and citizens in need. That's astounding!
Said Tesco CEO Dave Lewis:
"We believe no food that could be eaten should be wasted. That's why we have committed that no surplus food should go to waste from our stores."
