The Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute has been estimating marine fish landings along the Indian Coast for the past three decades and the data are being furnished to Central and State Governments, Industry, and national and international agencies. The Institute is also involved with the assessment of our marine fishery resources and management of multispecies harvested by diverse fishing gears. In the years to come, our commercially utilised marine animal and plant resources may cover not only conventional fin-and shell-fishes.but also non-conventional groups, such as mesopelagics, sponges, corals and seaweeds. There are endangered groups, such as marine mammals and turtles, which are protected under Wildlife Act. They occur as incidental catches or are 'occasionally stranded and these need monitoring.

Although most paleontologists agree that birds are descendants of dinosaurs, they have yet to figure out how and why the early birds managed to get off the ground and fly. How, in particular, did the wings of birds evolve from the forelimbs of dinosaurs?
Paleontologists digging in the Patagonian region of Argentina have now uncovered fossils of what they say is the most bird-like dinosaur ever found. It was a long-legged, meat-eating creature, nearly four feet tall at the hip and more than seven feet long. It could not fly, but it had a pelvis and hind limbs like ancient birds and shoulder bones that were oriented in an avian way.
With the shoulder socket facing down and back, the animal could tuck its upper arm bones close to its body, much like the wing-folding mechanism of birds. Outstretched, the forelimbs were probably capable of full upstrokes necessary for flapping flight. It is not known if the animal had feathers.
A team of Argentine paleontologists reported yesterday that the newly discovered dinosaur appears to be a close relative of birds and bears many anatomical characteristics of the intermediate species between dinosaurs and Archaeopteryx, the earliest known bird. The new fossil animal has been named Unenlagia comahuensis, which means ''half bird from northwest Patagonia'' in the language of the Mapuche Indians of the region.
Dr. Fernando E. Novas, a paleontologist with the Argentine Museum of Natural Sciences in Buenos Aires, said in a telephone interview that the new fossil species ''is significant because it represents a new dinosaur more closely related to birds than any other known dinosaur.''Continue reading the main story
Other paleontologists said the findings added further support to theories of a close kinship between dinosaurs and birds, and should provide clues to the evolutionary transition between the two. But the critical point about Unenlagia's shoulder orientation was likely to provoke controversy, they said.
The discovery was announced in Washington by Dr. Novas at the National Geographic Society, which supported the research. Dr. Novas and Pablo F. Puerta, a technician at the Patagonian Paleontological Museum in Trelew, Argentina, are reporting more details of the bird-like dinosaur in an article to be published on Thursday in the journal Nature.
In an accompanying article written for the journal, Dr. Lawrence M. Witmer, a paleontologist at Ohio University in Athens, said, ''Unenlagia is a true mosaic, begging the question of where to draw the line between what is, or is not, a bird.''
Dr. Mark A. Norell, a dinosaur specialist at the American Museum of Natural History in New York City, said the discovery was an important step in filling a wide gap in evolutionary history leading up to birds. ''This is an active area of research,'' he said, and more discoveries concerning the dinosaur-bird relationship are expected soon.
More than 20 bone fragments of the bird-like dinosaur were found in January 1996 in the sandy soil of a remote Patagonian hill. Geological dating of sediments indicated that the fossil animal is about 90 million years old. That means it lived well after birds evolved; Archaeopteryx lived about 145 million years ago.
Unenlagia, paleontologists said, could thus be considered a cousin of Archaeopteryx and other extinct reptilian birds, the two lineages stemming from a common ancestor. It is a relationship comparable to that of humans and chimpanzees. Though it lived later, Unenlagia was probably a descendant of a lineage that diverged just before the fully feathered and flying line that leads to Archeaopteryx and true birds.
If its body was too big and its wing-like forelimbs too short for flight, Dr. Novas said, the newly discovered Unenlagia might have used its wing-flapping ability in running and jumping in pursuit of prey. A pigeon flaps its wings up and down in a similar fashion to take off from the ground.
The new evidence, Dr. Novas and Mr. Puerta wrote, could help settle a longstanding debate over the origin of powered flight by birds. Did flight evolve from the trees down, with birds jumping from limbs and gliding first, or from the ground up? The anatomy of Unenlagia, the scientists said, suggested that flying began from the ground up, without an intervening arboreal gliding phase.
Dr. Witmer said this interpretation of flight was certain to cause an argument among theorists.Continue reading the main story

How These Donkeys Say Goodbye To Their Friend Is The Most Emotional Thing You'll See Today
It is a very emotional and sad time when anyone of us lose a human being in our lives that we count so dear, as we will sure miss them due to their passing away from illness or some other tragedy. And we also feel a deep loss when we lose our pets. Our grief is very real as humans at the loss of people or pets we have loved and cherished over the years.
But it is not only humans that feel the loss of their loved ones that they are close to or their pets that they have spent so many years with. Animals indeed do feel deep sadness at the loss of their companions when death takes them unexpectedly from their lives.
And in the video here we see some donkeys–quite a large group of donkeys–actually grieving over the loss of another donkey that is so sadly laying lifeless on a sheet of plastic on the ground that the owners of the donkey put on the ground for it to lay on.
It was as if the owners knew they had to have a special dedication time for the rest of the donkeys to be able to mourn for their friend whom they loved and now have lost so unfortunately. The plastic, that may be referred to as a tarp by some, is dark and somber to match the occasion of this seemingly type of funeral for the donkey. No human words are said, though the human owners do put stones down on the corners of the plastic to keep it in place, so that the corners do not blow in the wind and so that the donkeys who want to be near their friend who is now deceased do not trip over them.
The donkeys honk and honk. There are greyish black donkeys, some white and black spotted donkeys and even a pretty beige colored donkey. Yes, they honk and honk. They are so upset by the passing of this dear donkey who lay there on the hard ground on top of the clean dark plastic with his eyes closed, never to open them again.
The donkeys then began to make mourning and weeping sounds from deep within themselves, even worse and more mournful than the honking. They had heavy hearts. Many people have never heard or seen donkeys grieve like this. Some even sniffed and seemingly kissed their friend.
[fvplayer src="https://youtu.be/LuxrhiicesU" width="640″ height="480″]
Some kicked at him to try to get him to stand up and one even tried to pick him up by grabbing its hip area with its teeth, but he was not strong enough to get the donkey on its legs. And the donkey lying there could not stand anyway, as he had passed away. Finally, all the donkeys realized that he was gone forever and that they had indeed lost their friend.

Can Optimism about Technology Stocks Be Good for Welfare? Positive Spillovers vs. Equity Market Losses
This paper analyzes the impact of equity market information imperfections on R&D driven growth. The mechanism proposed is built on two premises. First, the R&D-sector relies largely on equity finance, because of its production features. Second, equity can be persistently mispriced. This is due to investors rationally taking into account both private and public information. This paper shows that optimism in equity market can generate long-run consumption gains, despite the excess capital losses realized in the short-run. This result arises from the externalities in R&D production that result in uderinvestment in R&D in a market economy with perfect information.

PM Modi, Russian Prez Vladimir Putin to jointly dedicate Kudankulam Nuclear Plant Unit-I
The first unit of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant will be jointly dedicated to the nation by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Jayalalithaa, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin through video conferencing. While the Nuclear Power Corporation Chairman SK Sharma, Russian company Atomstroy Export President Limareenko and site Director Sundar will attend the function at Kudankulam site.
The first unit of Kudankulam power plant is generating its full capacity of 1000 megawatts of electricity. It has been built with Russian expertise following a pact between the then Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Soviet leader Mikahil Gorbachev in November 1988. But the first unit was synchronized with the southern power grid in 2013 and commercial power generation started by the end of December 2014.
So let's discuss some questions related to this post:
1. Which nuclear power plant will be dedicated to the nation by Tamil Nadu CM Jayalalithaa, PM Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin?
2. What is the capacity of the first unit of Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant?

Kindness After the Paris Attacks
Immediately following the November 13th Paris attacks, I was contacted by a few different sites to write an article about it. Being less than two miles away from where one of the attacks happened, and living in a city where the effects of the attacks continue to be felt, it seemed I was a decent candidate to write about them.
I was flattered. But I was also at a loss for words. I couldn't really figure out what I wanted to say about it. What was different about my experience? We'd all gone through it in different ways, some much more affected than others.
Finally, I was able to put something in words, taking on the angle of a parent with small kids.
I shared my story over on TODAY Parents:

Need a break from holiday planning? Looking for some laughs? I might be able to help:
Confessions of a Paris Party Girl
is on sale for only $.99!
When newly-single party girl Vicki moved to Paris, she was hoping to indulge in wine, stuff her face with croissants, and fall in love. It proved to be much more difficile than she'd imagined. In this laugh-out-loud memoir, this cheeky storyteller recounts the highs and lows of her life in the City of Light. Sassy and shamefully honest, Vicki makes you feel as if you're right there in Paris stumbling along the cobblestones with her.
Will she find love? Will she learn to consume reasonable amounts of alcohol? Will the French administration ever cut her a break?
"Humor and misadventure set against the backdrop of a sweet love story and a very likeable narrator make for a perfect read."
Jennie Goutet

April Lily Heise
, author of Je T'Aime, Me Neither
"I thoroughly enjoyed Vicki's bold observations on everything from the sometimes-irritating realities of French bureaucracy to the simply irresistible allure of Paris itself. Confessions of a Paris Party Girl is an entertaining inside look at what it's like to be a 20-something American girl in the city of love."

Paris, Rue des Martyrs
Adria J. Cimino
Some encounters make a difference.
Four strangers in Paris. Each one is on a quest: to uncover a family secret, to grasp a new chance at love, to repair mistakes of the past. Four stories entwine, four quests become one, as their paths cross amid the beauty, squalor, animation and desolation of a street in Paris, the rue des Martyrs.
Rafael's search for his birth mother leads him to love and grim family secrets. Cecile's view of herself as an unsatisfied housewife is radically changed by the promise of a passionate liaison. Andre, an aging actor, troubled by the arrival of the son he abandoned years ago, must make a choice, to either lose his son forever or put aside pride and seek redemption. Mira travels to Paris to begin a new life and forget about love... or so she intends.
Four strangers, four stories, one riveting novel.
Anthology with 14 authors, including Regina Calcaterra and Kristopher Jansma
What will you leave behind?
Long after we've left this world, our legacy remains. Or doesn't. Or remains only in the minds of those who knew us, those whose lives we've touched. Those we've written to, or about.
If you had a choice, what mark would you leave? How should people remember you? Should they remember you?
Fourteen authors sat down during the month of January 2015, shut out distractions of the outside world and wrote about the subject. The resulting fiction and nonfiction stories fill the pages of Legacy: An Anthology. The book includes stories from Kristopher Jansma, winner of the 2014 Sherwood Anderson Award for Fiction, New York Times best-selling author Regina Calcaterra and Canadian best-selling author Marissa Stapley among others.
Within these pages, there is laughter, pride and hope. There is romance and rock and roll. Certain messages are eerie, while others bestow a sense of peace. The collection, through the discerning lens of each writer, runs the gamut of the human experience.
Author proceeds benefit the charity PAWS for Reading, which pairs pets with children to improve reading and communication skills. Thanks for supporting the cause!

8 Things to do Once the Kids Go to Bed
The other night Mika had to work late. He NEVER does that. Which means I'm NEVER alone with both kids on a busy weeknight. I had to pick them up from the creche/school and get them both home. Uphill, sweating, as Leo pointed out one motorcycle that was broken and EVERY MOTORCYCLE IN THE ENTIRE CITY OF PARIS that was not broken. There were a lot.
Then I had to cook them both dinner. Then give them both baths without them drowning. Then get them to bed without them screaming.
I realize a lot of parents fly solo all the time: single parents, parents with a spouse in the military, or parents with a spouse who works late or works a different shift. That's not me. I'm totally spoiled because I almost always have Mika by my side to help! He's awesome!
I was sure the evening would be a disaster because even regular evenings are tough. But the kids were angels! It was amazing! For a second I wondered if I'd picked up someone else's kids from the creche/school!
Then I had a little time to kill before Mika got home. What to do... Luckily I wrote an article about it on BLUNTmoms! Check out
8 Things To Do Once the Kids Go to Bed

Here's a taste:
4. Catch up on your email. Then get distracted by an article about leggings or vaccines or belly wraps, and blow through the rest of your free time without clearing a single email from your inbox.

Back in college I was a substitute teacher. You'd think that would mean it was the kids who were doing all the learning, but I learned quite a bit myself...
Today I'm over on BonBon Break with 8 things in particular I learned. If you count this as learning:
#5 Don't let them pit you against their regular teacher/ the other parent.
"Mrs. Brown lets us talk while we write our essays."
"Dad lets us eat pizza and candy for breakfast."
"Mr. Elliott said it's OK to eat Cheetos in chem lab as long as we share."
Don't be fooled! Your subs said it to you, now it's your turn to say it: "Well, I'm not Mrs. Brown/ your Dad/ Mr. Elliott!" And go ahead and confiscate all that pizza and candy and Cheetos for yourself.
Want to find out the other 7 things I learned? Check out the full post:

Close to Destiny
Adria J. Cimino
Does déjà vu have a deeper meaning? A puzzling gift from a stranger in a hat shop. Whisperings and footsteps in a dim luxury hotel. Dreams that transport to elegant parties where champagne flows like water. Kat is both frightened and intrigued by the events that have plagued her since she arrived in London, in a final effort to save herself from anorexia and recover from her latest suicide attempt.
Most disturbing is an encounter with a mysterious woman who introduces Kat to Will. And this lovely messenger has information she desperately wants to share with Kat: an incident from more than a century ago that could transform Kat's future. But will Kat listen?
A story of the role of destiny in life... and of righting the wrongs of the past.
Katie Rose Guest Pryal
Awkward, 21-year-old Greta Donovan, the fiercely intelligent daughter of a philandering physics professor, doesn't relate to people nearly as well as she relates to facts and figures. While Greta gets quarks and string theory, she hasn't a clue where men are concerned.
Which is exactly why she doesn't see it coming when someone tries to kill her.
Newly transplanted in L.A. after being kicked out of her father's house, Greta moves in with her best friend Daphne Saito, a troubled girl with an abusive past. The charismatic Daphne teaches Greta how to wear stilettos, apply lip gloss, and navigate 1990s Hollywood nightlife. Daphne is determined to succeed, and she drags an unwilling Greta into the limelight with her.
When Greta walks out on her, Daphne tries to win her back. But Daphne's desperate tactics just push Greta further away. Reeling, Daphne betrays her friend. Can Greta survive? Can she forgive?
Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer
Vicki Lesage
If you think motherhood in America is a challenge, try navigating the City of Light with a stroller in one hand and a croissant in the other. In this riotous memoir, author Vicki Lesage shares the highs and lows of raising her family in Paris.
A former party girl, Vicki has now traded wine bottles for baby bottles. If she's awake at 2 a.m. it's because of a crying baby, not a wild night out on the town. Follow her journey through pregnancy to raising two kids with her ever-patient French husband, all while trying to enjoy life in Paris.
Minutes Before Sunset
, book 1 of The Timely Death Trilogy by
Shannon A. Thompson
Two destinies. One death.
"Her kiss could kill us, and my consent signed our death certificates."
Eric Welborn isn't completely human, but he isn't the only shade in the small Midwest town of Hayworth. With one year left before his eighteenth birthday, Eric is destined to win a long-raging war for his kind. But then she happens. In the middle of the night, Eric meets a nameless shade, and she's powerful―too powerful―and his beliefs are altered. The Dark has lied to him, and he's determined to figure out exactly what lies were told, even if the secrets protect his survival.
Jessica Taylor moves to Hayworth, and her only goal is to find more information on her deceased biological family. Her adoptive parents agree to help on one condition: perfect grades. And Jessica is distraught when she's assigned as Eric's class partner. He won't help, let alone talk to her, but she's determined to change him―even if it means revealing everything he's strived to hide.
Minutes Before Sunset is the first book in The Timely Death Trilogy.
Once upon a Nightmare: A Collection
Cherie Reich
A monster hunts us. After hibernating for a decade, it's ravenous. We long to stop this nightmare, but the end of the road is far. There is no waking up once a legend sets its sights on you.
Disappearances every ten or so years make little impact on the small town of New Haven, Virginia. Hikers get lost. Hunters lose the trail. Even when a body is discovered, the inhabitants' memories last about as long as the newspaper articles.
No one connects the cases. No one notices the disappearances go back beyond Civil War times. No one believes a legendary monster roams the forests in Southwestern Virginia.
I don't either until the truck breaks down on an old mountain trail. Cell phones won't work in this neck of the woods. It's amazing how much a person can see by starlight alone. So what if we can't feel our fingers or toes as we hike toward the main road. How many more miles left to go?
Crrraaack! Hear that noise?
Enter now to win these 5 books! Good luck!

Resistance is Futile
Nearly four years ago, I married the man of my dreams. Which means about four years ago I had my bachelorette party, during which I attempted to dance on the bar but fell off the barstool before that awesomeness could even begin. And that means it's been three years since the bruise on my shin went away.
Yep, you read that right. That blasted bruise lasted for almost exactly a year. Which, in hindsight, was about what I deserved.
Singing all night long: Totally awesome
Dancing all night long: Totally fun
Dancing on bars: Totally unsafe
Falling off bars: Totally embarrassing
But, hey, you only (usually) have a bachelorette party once, right? Totally worth it.

enter to win
For every girl who wondered if she should love him or dump him…..For every girl who listened to her heart instead of her friends advice….
For every girl who l wondered if she was wasting her time dating that guy….
meet Hilary….
She had gotten used to dating the commitment-phobic Marc, thirteen years her senior. They had a great relationship–why rush into things? She saw no need to pressure him for marriage, believing that when the time was right, he would propose. But after they had been together for four years, their friends decided to take matters into their own hands, pushing Marc to propose and making Hilary realize how much she really did want to marry the man that she loved. Unfortunately, Marc still wasn't ready–and their friends' meddling in the form of a faux engagement party led to a disastrous New Year's Eve that brought their relationship to an inevitable turning point.
For anyone who has ever dated a commitment-phobe, who has found their patience wearing thin with the one they love, or who has sat around wondering if he is ever going to pop the question while trying to remain the very picture of patience and grace, Hilary's humorous and honest story will hit home.
Some cats need nine lives to make a difference. Avalon only needed one.
From Amazon bestselling author Vanessa Morgan, Avalon is the heartwarming and once-in-a-lifetime love story of a girl and her neurotic Turkish Van cat.
With humor, the author details how Avalon made other creatures cringe in distress whenever he was around, how he threw her dates out by means of special techniques, and how he rendered it almost impossible for her to leave the house. Avalon was so incorrigible that even her landlord ordered her to get rid of him. But beneath Avalon's demonic boisterousness, Vanessa recognized her own flaws and insecurities, and she understood that abandoning Avalon would be the worst she could do to him. Thanks to her unswerving loyalty, Avalon transformed into a tender feline, and even landed a major role in a horror movie. In turn, Avalon made it his mission to be there for his human companion.
By turns jubilant and deeply moving, Avalon is a memoir for anyone who has ever been obsessively in love with a pet.
PEOPLE OF FOXWICK and THEIR NEIGHBORS
War threatens Foxwick on all sides.
The dreaded Shadowlands gains more souls. From the shrouded trees in Greymist Forest to the arid Blackden Barrens, monsters roam in search of their next victim. Sirens lure ships beneath Merrilea Sea. In cold and snowy Wintermill, royals plot to claim Foxwick as their own, even if they must use dragons and sorcery. Marriage between Foxwick's king and Lochhollow's princess creates a perilous alliance. Although brave Valdale will come to Foxwick's aid, the cost may be more than a true friend can stomach.
Set over a hundred years, these seventeen fantasy short stories explore the people, creatures, and lands in and around the Kingdom of Foxwick.
A CHANGE OF MIND and OTHER STORIES
A Change of Mind and Other Stories consists of a novella, four short stories and one flash fiction piece. This collection puts the extremes of human behaviour under the microscope with the help of lashings of dark humour, and includes four pieces previously published in Writer's Muse magazine.
In A Change of Mind, Reuben is an office worker so meek and mild he puts up with daily bullying from his boorish male colleagues as if it's just a normal part of his day. But when a stranger points him in the direction of a surgeon offering a revolutionary new procedure, he can't pass up the chance to turn his life around.
But this isn't your average surgeon. For a start, he operates alone in a small room above a mechanic's. And he promises to alter his patients' personality so they can be anything they want to be…
In Marissa, a man who is determined to find evidence of his girlfriend's infidelity ends up wondering if he should have left well alone.
The Dog God finds a chink in the armour of a man with a megalomaniacal desire to take over the world.
In The Insomniac, a man who leads an obsessively regimented lifestyle on one hour's sleep a night finds a disruption to his routine doesn't work for him.
Hole In One sees a dedicated golfer achieving a lifelong ambition.
The Loner ends the collection on a note of hope as two family members try to rebuild their lives after they are torn apart by jealousy.
When newly-single party girl Vicki moved to Paris, she was hoping to indulge in wine, stuff her face with croissants, and fall in love. It proved to be much more
than she'd imagined. In this laugh-out-loud memoir, this cheeky storyteller recounts the highs and lows of her life in the City of Light. Sassy and shamefully honest, Vicki makes you feel as if you're right there in Paris stumbling along the cobblestones with her.
Thanks so much to all the authors for their generosity!

who will go to Nanning to take part in the 2008 ASEAN Expo?Shall we communicate?
Does the world need another egofestival? With global warming and the so called economic meltdown, we have an ASEAN expo in China. Why not in Australia or New Zealand, and call it ASEANZ Expo.
They are inviting people from southeast Asia? Its is not very easy for southeast asians to get a tourist visa. The ever changing visa rules due to the Olympics have made things more complicated.
Can people get a visa in Hanoi and go to Nanning? Or this event will be another reason to prolong the policies inspired by the Olympics and paraolympics...
The official name is China-ASEAN Expo, which is a trade fair jointly organised by China and ASEAN. And they are targeting the businessmen (category F visa), not tourists (L visa).

|NEW YORK – June 10, 2012 – Overnight ratings for the Belmont Stakes on NBC soared, despite the scratch of Triple Crown-hopeful I'll Have Another, topping last year's overnight by 13%, and the 2010 overnight by 74%. Yesterday's overnight rating is the highest for a non-Triple Crown Belmont since 2005 on NBC.NBC' broadcast of the Belmont Stakes, which was won by Union Rags, registered a 5.4 overnight rating and an 13 share for the race portion, up 13 percent from last year's race (4.8/11 on NBC), and up 74% from the 2010 race (3.1/7 on ABC). Yesterday's Belmont had the highest overnight for the race in a non-Triple Crown year since 2005 on NBC (6.0/13), according to overnight ratings data provided today by The Nielsen Company.
The NBC Sports Group presented 11 total hours of Belmont Week coverage (8.5 hours on NBC Sports Network and 2.5 hours on NBC). This is the second consecutive year that NBC televised all three Triple Crown races. NBC previously aired all three races from 2001-2005.
*Viewership for Belmont Stakes will be available on Tuesday when The Nielsen Company releases national ratings.
BELMONT STAKES OVERNIGHT RATINGS SINCE 2006 (Race Portion):
2012 5.4/13 NBC (Triple Crown contender I'll Have Another scratched
1. Ft. Myers, 11.2/23
The Belmont ratings success follows strong ratings for the Kentucky Derby and Preakness.
14.8 MILLION WATCH KENTUCKY DERBY: NBC's coverage of Saturday's Kentucky Derby drew 14.8 million viewers, the third most-watched Kentucky Derby in 23 years, and up two percent from last year's Derby. Since implementing NBC Sports Group's 'Big Event Strategy,' the last four Kentucky Derby races have all recorded at least 14.5 million viewers.
NBC's coverage of the Kentucky Derby over the last 12 years averages more than 2 million more viewers than the previous 12 Kentucky Derby broadcasts on ABC (14.1 million vs.12.0 million, up 17 percent).
8.1 MILLION WATCH PREAKNESS STAKES: NBC Sports coverage of the Preakness Stakes drew 8.1 million viewers, the fourth consecutive year that the Preakness drew more than eight million viewers. Since NBC began broadcasting the Preakness in 2001, every Preakness telecast on NBC over that period attracted more viewers than any Preakness telecast on ABC in the previous seven years. Viewership for the Preakness is up an average of 60% in the 12 years on NBC compared to the previous eight years on ABC.
NBC SPORTS GROUP AND HORSE RACING: The NBC Sports Group is the exclusive home to the most important and prestigious events in horse racing, including the Triple Crown and the Breeders' Cup, which was broadcast on NBC from 1984-2005. Last year marked the first time that all three Triple Crown races appeared on one network since NBC last aired the Triple Crown in 2005. NBC has been the exclusive home of the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes since 2001. This year, the NBC Sports Group will present 27½ hours of Triple Crown coverage across NBC and NBC Sports Network.
NBC Sports Group is also the home to Summer at Saratoga, Autumn at Keeneland, and, in collaboration with The Jockey Club, the Road to the Kentucky Derby series that provided live coverage of six major prep races for the 2012 Kentucky Derby.

The Raiders again squandered a scoring opportunity when Chad Boaen led off with a double, but Cook pitcher Kaleb Cowart struck out two of the next three batters. Cowart had seven strikeouts through four innings. In the bottom of the inning, SCPS reliever Andrew Drought surrendered a walk, but Cook couldn't get him around.

Often, decision making is the responsibility of the deceased's next of kin. The first step is looking for a funeral director. It is important that you and your director understand each other well. Arrangement conference is a must before signing a contract.
Job Role of a Director
The director will take care of all the legal requirements or paperwork, coffin, the body and viewing of the body. The type of ceremony and venue that you want will be considered. You will also decide on the coffin purchase, hearse rental and time schedule. Even if you hire a director, it does not mean that you will not be responsible for anything. The director will ask you a lot of questions. It is important that you prepare your answers in advance because your time will be limited. He will come to your house to do the interview.
The most important thing to do when looking for a director is to check if he is a member of The National Society of Allied and Independent Funeral Directors (SAIF); being affiliated with The National Association of Funeral Directors (NAFD) is also a good sign. Members of these associations are required to meet certain industry standards.
This is an important factor when deciding which director to select. Usually, the price is around $2,500 to $2,800. This price includes the hearse rental, staff, coffin purchase and the storing of the body.
Other optional services are always available. The disbursement costs will vary based on whether you select a cremation or burial. This includes general memorial expenses (minister, priest, etc.), burial ground feeds and doctor's fees. Directors should abide to the SAIF and NAFD pricing standards. If a company goes above a specific threshold, it will lose its membership. If you are suspicious about the payment procedures or pricing structure of a firm, you should consult its governing body before making any payment.
Burial or Cremation?
This is one of the important decisions you should make. You should abide by the deceased's wishes if he has made any whether it is written in his will or made verbally. If you do not have enough money, cremation is recommended since it is generally cheaper than a burial. The director can help you in decision making by giving the cons and pros of each procedure.
Optional Services
If you prepare for your Q and A, you can make an informed decision about anything. Be sure that you are specific and detailed when making a decision. Do not let your director pressure you to make choices that you do not want.
Order of Service
This is your responsibility. Even though it is the job of a director to make sure that the event follows personal, legal and religious guidelines, you still have a choice to set the order of service. It is important to get this right so that you can decide the right way the service will be conducted. For instance, you may choose between a more formal ceremony and a celebration of life type ceremony.
The Eve of the Funeral
Often, family members and close friends meet up the night before the ceremony to grieve together. Spending the night before consoling, laughing, crying and talking can make the actual ceremony easier to bear. It can also be considered a way of having a bonding session.

For something that's the most natural event in the world, childbirth really takes it out of you. Let's take a closer look at what actually happens to your vagina after baby has emerged through the 'traditional' exit.
Cry or laugh, or maybe both at the same time, and you may find you wee yourself after giving birth. 40% of new mums suffer some incontinence. It usually goes away after a few weeks when your poor battered vagina starts to pull itself together again.
About half of new mums tear or have an episiotomy during birth. You'll have stitches to manage afterwards. These can become infected, so keep a close eye on yourself.
A prolapse is when your womb, bladder or rectum is pushed into your vaginal walls. It happens to about 10% of women. You'll feel something heavy in your vagina like the world is about to fall out. Feeling hot, sweaty and panicky at this point is natural, especially if you look in the mirror and see a bulge.
Sex Drought
When you are surviving on 4 hours of broken sleep a night, sex is not on your mind. Your partner will just have to lump it. Any suggestion of oral in the meantime may result in it being bitten off. If you do fancy a quickie, you might be thwarted by vaginal dryness.
Is there no end to these indignities?
Vagina Like A Wizard's Sleeve
After childbirth your vagina will not be as tight as it was, but what you may lack in virgin tightness you will make up for in sheer uninhibited naughtiness, after all if 12 nurses, 2 midwives, a surgeon and 4 medical students have seen up your lady parts whilst you cry and give birth to massive haemorrhoids, leaving the lights on for reverse cowgirl is a piece of cake.
How To Fix It
Stop crying, you can make it better.
Pelvic Floor Workout
Pelvic floor muscles keep it all together down there. Your vagina can stretch up to 10cm to let that howling baby out, but it needs help to retract. Don't worry, you will walk again. Pelvic floor exercises often solve the majority of post-birth vaginal problems. In the days after birth you won't feel them moving much, but keep at it because they are very important. I bet there's an app you can download to help you work it out.
Use lubricant for about a year after giving birth, especially if you have an episiotomy scar - they occasionally split.
Wee On A Sponge
If you have stitches, wee in the bath or on a wet sponge to dilute your urine's acidity.
If the pelvic floor exercises don't do the trick, you may need an operation for a prolapse.
It'll probably depend on how big your baby is, or whether forceps or ventouse were used, as to how badly you are affected by these post birth vaginal problems. The key to recovery are your pelvic floor muscle exercises, so squeeze, squeeze and squeeze. If you can't locate them, go for a wee and then stop mid-flow. Those are the ones you need to endlessly exercise. You'll be glad you did.

Thank you for the healing you gave me, I didn't realize at the time just what a big gift it was from you. I no longer have tension between my upper shoulders/neck anymore. Also, you put me onto the path of something that i had sent to my junk mail years ago i guess i wasn't ready for it then. Thank you for spending your valuable time working with me during my stay in Dubai, it was an amazing experience for me one that i will never forget!

Big Ass Solutions' unique name originated with the massive overhead fans the company perfected to bring comfort and energy savings to enormous industrial buildings. Today, though, Big Ass is much more than industrial—and much more than Big Ass Fans. Big Ass means quality, form and function to solve problems in the built environment. It's investing in the world's only R&D facility (which is LEED® Gold, no less) dedicated to testing air movement on a grand scale. It's speaking to customers directly to understand and solve their problems. But mostly it's an insatiable drive to improve, engineer, design, test, re-engineer, re-design and re-test each product. And then start over again. It's applying the Big Ass approach to other problems, like lighting and HVAC, and inventing or reinventing solutions. Big Ass Solution's doesn't do things halfway. They go Big Ass. And that's precisely why there's No Equal™.

At Sansone Companies this month, we are reminding everyone about indoor air quality and a quick and easy way to save money on heating and cooling costs.
While people rely on their HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system daily, many don't realize the importance of this simple and easy task so they neglect to change their air filters, which can result in high energy bills, unnecessary illness, poor air circulation, and system failure. Why is it so important?
1.) Keeps energy costs down. HVAC systems work by recirculating air through the building. Since indoor air is up to 70 percent more polluted than outdoor air, each system contains a filter that traps pollutants, such as dust, bacteria, mold spores, and pet dander, from continuously circulating. When the air filter is clogged it makes the HVAC system work harder resulting in more energy being used. And when it requires more energy, to make your heating and air conditioning system work, it causes your energy bill to skyrocket. The Department of Energy says the average household spends about $2,200 a year on its energy bill. When you consistently change your air filter, you can save from 5 to 15 percent on your utility costs.
2.) Maintains healthy air quality. Any home activity can cause indoor air pollutants such as dust, mold spores, pet dander, and allergens to become airborne and travel throughout the home. These pollutants can affect the health and well-being of residents, particularly with individuals who suffer from allergies. Home air filters capture these airborne pollutants as the air is circulated back through the HVAC system, and greatly increases the quality of indoor air. When dirty, however, the filters cannot remove any of these pollutants, and the particles are redistributed through the home.
3.) Prevents many unexpected AC breakdowns. Air filters not only clean circulating air, but they also keep the system's interior clean and working properly. Clogged filters allow dust and other airborne debris to become trapped in the inter-workings of the HVAC system, which can ultimately cause the system to fail long before it would with proper filter upkeep leaving you without air conditioning during our hottest periods of summer.
Energy Star suggests changing your air filter every month, especially during our summer months when your HVAC unit gets the most use. At the bare minimum, don't let three months go by without swapping your dirty one out for a new one. When shopping, look at the MERV (minimum efficiency reporting value) number which ranges from 1 to 12. The higher the number the better the filtration is. Replacing your filter is an easy and inexpensive step to take to save money, improve your indoor air quality, and reduce the cause of many air conditioning outages.

I purchased the strength for dogs under 20 lbs and gave my dog only one a day, in the evening. I noticed that my dog started scratching more than usual - I thought it was the products that her New groomer used. Molly had her 15th birthday this August and we gave her a dog salon party. 1terday I came home from work and she had scratched a big red spot on her side and she did not want to eat dinner. I took her to the veterinarian. The Vet had to shave her side to allow her skin to breath, plus he gave her a shot of antibiotics, steroids and Benadryl. Who knew that my Molly had an allergy to Wheat. ***Please test your food/snack choices for your pet on a smaller scale before investing in the really good price for a larger quantity. Read the labels too! 09/11/2015Rated 4 out of 5by bonniegmy dog loves themMy 12 year old dog really needs dental treatment, but it is sooo expensive. I nearly lost a few fingers when I tried brushing her teeth, so I gave up on that. She really loves her greenies, and the teeth involved in chewing the bone look good. 09/02/2015Rated 5 out of 5by Mycroft Outstanding (Ruff Ruff, Boww Wowwwww) As advertised, this product is irresistible to our three dogs. Two other families I know, concur.

Poohbear eats twice a day and after every meal he looks for a Greenie for desert. I gladly give it to him because I can't stand 'doggie breathe'. For the past year of giving Poohbear a Grennie for dessert, I can gladly say he has no doggie breathe and his teeth are whiter than mine. Maybe I should also have a Greenie for dessert to help whiten my teeth and cut down on cigarette breathe!

@Philosopher_Edge Okay. So... Illuminati confirmed? What, am I bad then? Lol.
That still doesn't explain how two positives had a negative lol.
I don't know if it's true or not. I just found it funny. ha ha
As far as how you got O-, I wouldn't have the foggiest idea. It's actually an interesting question. I've read how am 0+ and an 0- could have children with blood problems, but not sure how two 0+ people could have 0- offspring.

Three Months Ago: Atlantic County provides $1 million for Brigantine road project
In May, Brigantine City Council was finally able to approve a $1 million project funded by Atlantic County for a renovation project at the intersection of Brigantine Avenue and Brigantine Boulevard.
The project would reconfigure and repave the intersection as well as complete work on Brigantine Avenue between 29th and 32nd streets.
The work was completed by the July 4th weekend as projected and now a portion of Brigantine Avenue is one-way. The triangle separating the two roads has been extended, and a new turning lane allows a safer turn for motorists traveling south of Brigantine Boulevard.
Brigantine Manager Jennifer Blumenthal said crews are still working on rebuilding the fountain at the intersection and that should be complete by today, weather permitting. The city's Garden Club plans to plant flowers at the highly visible section of road.
The work did cause delays during the beginning of the summer season, but traffic will flow much better due to the improvements, she said.
"The county did a great job," she said. "It makes a big difference in that intersection."
Thirteen Months Ago: Former Hammonton woman sues priest in sexual abuse
In June 2012, former Hammonton resident Lisa Shanahan, now 44, filed a lawsuit against the Diocese of Camden and the Rev. Thomas Harkins alleging she was sexually assaulted between 10 and 15 times when she was a student at St. Anthony of Padua church in Hammonton between 1980 and 1981.
In New Jersey, a victim of sexual abuse is allowed to sue as long as two years from the point they realize they have suffered damages from an act of abuse. There are exceptions that allow for victims to sue for damages later, such as if the victim is a child and cannot do so because they still live with his or her abuser.
The diocese challenged the lawsuit, stating the case should be dismissed because the statute of limitations had passed.
But the federal court in Camden on June 22 rejected that claim, stating Shanahan had a right to make her case at trial.
Shanahan's attorney, Adam Horowitz, said they hope to go to trial sometime in 2014 and are very pleased with the court's decision.
"It provides our client with an opportunity and justice," he said. "We suspect that Father Harkins left behind a trail of victims and was moved from parish to parish by the diocese to conceal his wrongdoing. The public has a right to know what the diocese knew about Father Harkins and when they knew it."
Camden Diocese spokesman Peter Feuerherd declined to comment on the lawsuit while it is still in litigation.
Harkins ultimately resigned from the ministry in 2002 and was laicized in 2011, Feuerherd said. Harkins, who now works as a TSA agent at Philadelphia International Airport, could not be reached for comment.
Twenty-nine months ago, Millville shopping center anchor closes
In 2005, Millville opened a new shopping center on Route 47 that would bring in large big box retailers that were new to Cumberland County and generate millions in revenue in the Urban Enterprise Zone. The center currently features Lowe's, National Tire and Battery, and Chili's. It was a precursor to the adjacent Union Lake Crossing Shopping Center, which brought more national chains to the area.
But in February 2011, Acme closed several locations, including the Millville store, which was one of the shopping center's anchors. The store had about 60 employees.
The building has remained vacant, but in January, the city's Planning Board approved an application for a new Planet Fitness in the center. There is no opening date scheduled for the new business.

Club Gold casino refuses to pay me 3000 euro. They claim
that somebody already registered with my details. That is impossible
since I only registered at this casino once. Looks like they only look
for the reason not to pay me.
Club Gold casino refuses to pay me 3000 euro. They claim
Please be advised that the player has been informed exactly of the reasons of the closure. We will be providing the evidence to AskGamblers for their independent review.
In this instance, multiple accounts were opened and same bonuses used.
The terms are clearly stated and always available on our website for everyone's reference. It is the player's responsibility to make sure that they understand the terms & conditions that were agreed upon registering the account.
Please also note that the players initial deposit of EUR100 has been sent back to the payment method used to deposit.
Best regards
Dino G
That is the best solution for me. Send your evidence
to askgamblers and let them see if this evidence is worth
confiscating 3000 euro from me. I have nothing to do
with your claim of multiple accounts etc.
We have received and reviewed all evidences sent to us on behalf Club Gold Casino. Unfortunately, we can confirm that player has indeed breached some of the casino terms and conditions and therefore we are unable to help from now on. This case is now closed and considered closed. If player still consider his rights to be infringed somehow by the casino, we remind him/her to use the option to submit a formal complaint in front of the Curacao Gaming Commission [email protected]
