Attorneys focus on judicial appointments
Hugh R. Jones is the 2010 president of the Hawaii State Bar Association and the first practicing public-sector lawyer elected to the position in the association's history.
Jones has been with the state Attorney General's office since 1989 and currently is the deputy attorney general for the tax division, which oversees all of the department's charitable oversight including charitable trusts, corporate charities and private foundations.
He also teaches a full-semester course in nonprofit law at the University of Hawaii William S. Richardson School of Law.
Jones sat down with PBN legal reporter Linda Chiem to discuss challenges facing the legal profession and what he wants to accomplish this year as president of the 7,000-member bar association.
What are your top priorities for the HSBA this year?
What is consuming the bar, right now and this year, is the judicial appointments, both pending and future ones. Many judges have retired in the last year either as a reaction to or prompted by the pay cuts and furloughs. The bar does review the qualifications of the nominees of the governor or the chief justice and it is a time-consuming process. Already three months into my term, we've had three to four special meetings [on recent appointments] to review and solicit comments from the full bar.
Also, with the new mandatory continuing legal education requirement for lawyers, we're working to roll out classes that are affordable and convenient to meet the required three credits as well as the recommended 12 more credits a year.
I also want to try to develop programs that promote access to justice for the indigent population and see sections [of the bar] develop them as well. For example, our real property or collections section could do foreclosure or bankruptcy clinics to let people know what to do, what are your rights and what to expect the process to look like.
There has been heavy discussion on the regulation of lawyers and the overall practice of law in Hawaii in recent years. What is your take on all of it? Has more regulation been overdue?
With the mandatory continuing legal education, it is common in other bars [across the country] and we crafted a rule that is user-friendly. The bar is mindful of keeping the classes low-cost and accessible on all islands.
Also, we are very close to seeing a complete change of our code of ethics and that is about to be unveiled, we expect, in the next 60 days. This has been a multiyear process of the Hawaii Supreme Court and it changes the rules of the game and how we practice. This is essentially the Rules of Professional Conduct and that is certainly a big change.
2009 was not kind to lawyers with almost unprecedented cuts at law firms across the country. What was last year like for Hawaii lawyers?
It was a very difficult year whether at private firms or in the public sector. I'm working two less days a month and often multitasking from home on those furlough Fridays. In the 20 years I've been practicing here, it's certainly the most difficult conditions I've worked in, both budgetary and morale-wise. We're just hoping that this spring we'll start to see a strengthening of the economic situation again that trends toward recovery.

Thousands to test flu emergency response
THE government is to conduct the largest emergency exercise since the cold war on Tuesday to test whether it could cope in the event of a flu epidemic in Britain.
Confidential plans have been circulated in Whitehall that will involve thousands of civil servants and officials from the emergency services. Some government advisers believe that a bird flu epidemic has overtaken terrorism as the biggest risk facing the country.
The exercise is designed to ensure that the authorities could cope with up to 30% of the population being infected and a possible 750,000 deaths.
Guidelines for coping with an epidemic suggest that people may have to be shown how to dispose of the bodies of family members killed by the disease. They also envisage that…

Greece has been and will be the cradle of western culture since ancient times. Even today, when everyone seems to remember the Hellenic country in another direction, is giving us new talent. This applies to our guest today, a founding member and songwriter for the progressive 81db, an Italian-based band is ready to leave no stone cold! Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Kostas Ladopoulos!
Hi Kostas, how are you? First of all, thank you a lot for give us your time!
Hi, I thank you for giving us the chance to talk to our friends from Spain!
When I try to explain which kind of music plays 81db, an internal maze appears on my mind. How can you describe 81db?
What we want to show with our sound is music that would make the ear, the sentiment and the brain work together. I believe that each time that somebody listens to our album, discovers something new. It has happened to me a lot of times to listen to someone saying to me "Hey you know, this is the first time, I notice that!" in some songs, thus making him understand more and more its meaning. I consider the whole "Impressions" as an album that as long as more you listen to it, so much more it becomes yours. That's why we picked such a title. Regarding the band's influences I would say that we are influenced by alternative groups like Faith No More and Tool, classic ones like Megadeth and Metallica but also more progressive like Pain Of Salvation, Dream Theater, Rush, Watchtower etc. Many elements from the legendary scene of 70's: Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath etc. Adding also the traditional Mediterranean sound, that's what you take as a result! As you see it's a musical kaleidoscope!
Maybe prog metal could be a good label, but most people always give this one to bands like Dream Theater… don't you think?
I have to say that I love Dream Theater. Their music was a progression of the Rush sound in to something more complex and metal. Nowadays there are too many bands playing this style and therefore in my opinion it cannot be called progressive anymore. Maybe technical metal would be more appropriate. For me Faith No More, Dillinger Escape Plan, Pain of Salvation or Tool can be as much "progressive" too…
It has been a year ago when "Impressions" arrived to our ears ¿how does it work nowadays? Does it met your expectation?
"Impressions" is the natural follower of "Evaluation". It is even more complex and heavier sounding and still has some more of this crazy mixes of metal riffs with Mediterranean sounds. It contains songs that are more direct like "the Last Laugh" and at the same time songs that require much more mental and listening process to grasp like "Freakshow" and "Jabberwocky". I believe anyone who loves rock and metal sounds and is open minded enough to accept all these elements could love this album.
With your first album ("Evaluation"), 81 db got good reviews and a great response from the media and the public. Has "Impressions" go a little further?
Well, I am pretty convinced that this album is better than our first one, more mature and technical, more progressive in a certain way if you will. As usual, the first album is made of ideas that existed many years before its final creation. This new album is fresh, full of new ideas at the time and paths we explored for the first time (as the use of the trombone in Jabberwocky) and the use of an electric Sitar in the final track. This album is full of new ideas and experiments, heavy riffs and new melodies. We are more than happy with it!
Did things change in the band's life since the album debut?
Well, one can say that we now see the band more of a full time and serious occupation than before. We dedicate much more time and attention, so yes, in that field we have surely changed. We are also more mature and still growing musically something that you may hear on our 3 rd album that we are currently working on…
What means the name Sylvia Massy for 81 db? And talking about names… what does 81 db means???
Working with Sylvia in her studio was a unique experience! The studio was fully equipped with everything that a musician may need and full of great and capable people like our sound engineer. Sylvia loved our sound since the beginning and followed some special procedures for recording our songs since they were more complex and technical than the average songs. She has a great spirit of making you feel comfortable and gave us ideas whenever she felt that there was something to improve. We went there with the tracks almost completed and she changed some few parts where she felt it could sound stronger and more interesting. In any case, working with a person with such an experience is by itself a psychological bonus! It really helped us a lot!
About the name. It is 81 decibels. It stands for a certain limit (80dB) that above that, in a normal situation, the sound could be considered as noise pollution. It was written on the door of a studio I used to work and suggested that the sound coming out of the studio door should not surpass the 80dB limit. So 81db could be considered as noise pollution in a way, but as the great AC/DC have said "Rock 'n Roll ain't noise pollution"!
When I did the "Impressions" review, I wrote something like "if Daniel Glindelow and Mike Patton has a baby, it could be 81db!!"… Was I wrong?
I guess it's one of the most accurate descriptions I have ever read for our sound! We love this two composers and their music and it's more than an honor to follow their difficult and crazy soundpath!
In 2007 you opened the Deep Purple show in Torino; in 2009 your video "Voices" was played in MTV Greece and MAD TV… wich is the most important highlight in your career?
I don't know exactly the procedural details, but I know that our then managers came in contact with those of Deep Purple, they listened to our work and the next thing I know is that we played in the same stage, just before the band of the most classic rock riff of all times. Personally, remembering that when I have took my guitar for first time "Smoke on the Water" was the first song I learnt to play, and suddenly as I have been in the same stage with Steve Morse, I felt awe…Our pleasure was even more, when the road crew of Deep Purple, as well their keyboard player showed particular interest about our live. Some of them left with the 81db T-shirt, that we of course gave them as a gift. It was really an unforgettable experience!
A few months ago you published a video for "Jabberwocky", one of the most intrincated songs of "Impressions". What can you tell me about this? Don't you think this one could be a double edge sword? I mean, it´s a great and curious song with a lot of changes and music styles, but maybe it could be a problem for people who looks for a direct and "simple" single.
I'll be honest, we didn't care that much if it isn't straightforward or simple for the radio or TV. We don't hope that the (mainstream) TV or Radio guys would ever appreciate what we do. What was important is that Jabberwocky can resemble our crazy and melodic part pretty well, that's why we chose it for the video. It is also one of my favorites of the album. In a few days we will release the video for another song from the album, Petrified (Medusa) that will reveal our darkest and heavier musical side.
How about your future plans in 81db? Can we wait a new album soon?
We are working as we speak for the new songs of a 3rd album. It's early to say much yet but the new songs are heavier and more complex. I'm pretty sure our friends with more heavy taste will be satisfied!
Finally, thanks for your time! Do you want to send any message to the spanish metalheads?

India has all the requirements to return to a GDP growth rate of 8% in the coming years, Deputy Chairman of the Planning Commission Montek Singh Ahluwalia said, while highlighting that current account deficit is a big problem right now.
"India has averaged 7.5% growth in the last 10 years. It should have done that for 15 years but it is possible to bring it back to the average performance of the last decade. The target for 2013-14 is 6.5-7% and then accelerate further. India has all the requirements to return to 8%, even if it is later than expected," he told a gathering of students and academics at Oxford University.
"A little over 5% is a slowing down but the whole world is experiencing a slowing of growth. It is a worry because we expect much more but it is not as big a disaster as the media makes it out to be. Growth is important but that growth has to be inclusive and sustainable," Ahluwalia said last evening.
India's leading economic strategist also stressed that the pace of poverty reduction in the country was within the target set by the government.
"It is clear that the government knows how to get growth going but there is a perception that we lag behind on inclusiveness. It is something the government takes very seriously and latest data indicates that the pace of poverty reduction has increased. The extreme view that the rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer is nonsense. There is a lot of good news in terms of the pattern of growth being more inclusive," he said.
The former alumnus of the University of Oxford, who was invited by the Blavatnik School of Government to speak about 'India's Challenges Ahead', was in the UK on his way back from the G-20 Sherpas Meeting in Moscow.
"The state of the world economy is a challenge. The focus of government policy is to re-assure foreign investors that India is wide open for business. India has the human resources in place and an expanding private sector. The only problem is the current account deficit. But the global financial system appears to be stabilising and the most important message is that India is a good bet for foreign investment and that message is getting across," he said.
Ahluwalia also said that there is a good chance that Vodafone dispute will be resolved soon.
"The Vodafone case did not do us any favours. My personal view is that they knew very well that it (Vodafone's purchase of the Indian operations of Hutchinson Whampoa in 2007) was chargeable to tax, but they decided to take a calculated risk. The finance minister (P Chidambaram) is in negotiations to come up with a reasonable compromise and there is a good chance we can put this behind us for good," Ahluwalia said yesterday while admitting that the $2-billion Vodafone tax dispute had affected global perceptions about the country.
Ahluwalia also described the Supreme Court's decision to cancel the 2G telecom licences last year as a "blip" that would lead to clear and transparent rules for the sector.
"The telecom story is a good one. It is sectors like energy and water that will prove crucial in terms of ensuring sustainable growth. It just takes a long time in India but in the next few years, the huge debates will centre around an intelligent use of national resources, which will require intelligent regulations and pricing in both these sectors," he said.

Ah, Inception. How nice it is to see a film performing at the box office that actually inspires its audience to use their brains. Actually, it looks as if it has inspired even more than that!
According to the Hollywood Reporter's Heat Vision Blog, Warner Brothers has picked up an original project from Josh Zetumer, the writer behind Dune and several other flicks, that also sees Ruben Fleischer, the director behind Zombieland, on board to executive produce.
Details for the story are being kept under wraps. The untitled project is star-driven and has a genre component to it, although it is not sci-fi. "You can't put it in a box," was how one studio insider described it.
Okay. Interest piqued. Look for more on this one soon as we see what we can dig up on it!

Unprecedented Plastic Pollution
When The Mermaids Cry: The Great Plastic Tide
By Claire Le Guern Lytle
The world population is living, working, vacationing, increasingly conglomerating along the coasts, and standing on the front row of the greatest, most unprecedented, plastic waste tide ever faced.
Washed out on our coasts in obvious and clearly visible form, the plastic debris spectacle blatantly unveiling on our beaches is only the prelude of the greater story that unfolded further away in the the world's oceans, yet mostly originating from where we stand: the land.
In 2008, our global plastic consumption worldwide has been estimated at 260 million tons. Plastic is versatile, lightweight, flexible, moisture resistant, strong, and relatively inexpensive. Those are the attractive qualities that lead us, around the world, to such a voracious appetite and over-consumption of plastic goods. However, durable and very slow to degrade, plastic materials that are used in the production of so many products all, ultimately, become waste with staying power. Our tremendous attraction to plastic, coupled with an undeniable behavioral propensity of increasingly over-consuming, discarding, littering and thus polluting, has become a combination of lethal nature.

Oil spills on the worlds beaches and in the worlds oceans
By Linda Pilkey-Jarvis
Beaches and river shorelines all over the world are at risk from oil spills. Spills are most likely to occur while oil is transported or transferred between oil tankers, barges, pipelines, refineries, and distribution or storage facilities. Spills may also occur during natural disasters (such as hurricanes), or through deliberate acts by countries at war, sunken ships, vandals, or illegal dumpers. Read More

Ocean Pollution... and Ocean Polluters
By Bekah Barlow
Did you know that it's legal to dump trash in the ocean? Yes, there are limitations for what you can and cannot dump. But it is perfectly acceptable to dump your raw sewage, paper, rags, glass, metal, bottles, or similar refuse, as long as you are at least 12 miles away from the nearest shoreline. It is not permissible to dump plastics anywhere. Read More

U.S. EPA Reverses Obama-Era Request for Methane Emission Data from Oil and Gas Companies
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency announced it will no longer ask oil and gas well operators to submit information about their equipment or methane emissions. Methane is short-lived, but powerful greenhouse gas. Over the short term, it can trap heat at least 30 times more efficiently than carbon dioxide, and is thought to be responsible for about a quarter of modern global warming.

Only 14% of plastics are recycled – can tech innovation tackle the rest?
The world recycles just 14% of the plastic packaging it uses. Even worse: 8m tons of plastic, much of it packaging, ends up in the oceans each year. 30% (by weight) of the plastic packaging isn't recycled because the material is contaminated or too small for easy collection, has very low economic value or contains multiple materials that cannot be easily separated.

If you get an incomplete, or worse a low grade, you can still retake the class, as some schools allow you to average the two grades on your final transcript. Challenge yourself by taking some courses outside your major to fulfill breadth requirements.
By purchasing lecture notes from a reputable source such as the student union, you can save time by not taking notes in class, and concentrate on paying better attention. You also can audit courses that you're interested in, but would prefer to skip exams and just listen in. Beyond consideration for Boise State University online law degree, you may think about High Point University course selection for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Firm's forest felling upsets conservationists
Controversial plans to expand New Plymouth's multimillion-dollar Tasmanian dairying venture are a step closer to being realised.
The company, owned by the New Plymouth District Council's investment arm, has been given the green light from Tasmanian authorities to convert 1800ha of native forest to dairy paddocks.
They are still waiting on Australian government approval.
The proposal has angered the Tasmanian Conservation Trust because the expansion area is habitat of the nationally-threatened tasmanian devil and spotted-tailed quoll.
But the company's bosses say they have taken steps to ensure the tasmanian devils are protected.
The expansion plan will make the Woolnorth property one of the largest grass-fed dairy operations in the world.
The New Plymouth District Council, through its Taranaki Investment Management Ltd (TIML), has a 98.42 per cent share in Tasman Farms Ltd, which owns Van Diemen's Land Company (VDL).
The company milks 17,400 cows across 24 farms in northwest Tasmania, producing about 5.76 million kilograms of milksolids.
The $122 million expansion will double milk production at Woolnorth, creating 11 new dairy farms by converting beef operations and clearing land for another two.
Conservation trust director Peter McGlone said it was outrageous to clear land where there were endangered species habitats.
Mr McGlone described the plan as "an horrific attack on our threatened native fauna by a New Zealand-owned company".
He called on the council to stop VDL from proceeding with the clearing.
The TCT is worried clearing thousands of hectares of native bush would encourage other land owners to seek approvals for similar large-scale clearance.
But TIML chairman Keith Sutton said the company was working with the government to make sure the tasmanian devil was protected.
"Everybody's really confident with the proposal.
"We got all the expert advice, we wouldn't have got permission if we hadn't gone through the right processes."
As a result of this advice, the company reduced the area of native vegetation it planned to clear by almost 50 per cent, from 3500ha to 1806ha.
Seventy per cent of the 6900ha of native vegetation on the whole of VDL properties will be protected in reserves.
The company will not confirm where its funding for the expansion will come from but said it is in talks with several interested parties.
In late 2012 there were rumours of Chinese investors seeking a stake in the dairy operation.

A group of seven went to the Red House last night, to celebrate...
Reserved an upstairs private room - the building is very old and so the inside is colonial in decoration - although we all wondered what the things on the wall were - turned out they were old tie-on ice skates - sort of random - they looked a little dangerous the way they looked hanging on the wall -
My app was PEI oysters broiled with foie gras, and other ingredients - What can I say? There were 5 oysters - not really plump, but fragrant and briny. Had to use my regular-sized fork which made scooping out all the good stuff a little tricky.
Other apps at the table - Special chilled red pepper bisque, a couple of concoctions of filled phyllo dough - all plates were cleaned -
Entree - this was really great - again from the specials - Linguini with lamb ragout, cooked with mushroom and red wine - this was sumptuous - rich - velvety - decadent - It really hit the spot. It was like a great bolognese except the lamb just made it something very special.
Other entrees were also met with enthusiasm - risotto - one salmon , one lobster - tilapia - but you know, honestly, I only noticed the risottos because they were next to me - I was absolutely transported by the lamb so that I have no accurate recollection of other people were eating.
We shared a couple of bottles of an Australian shiraz - Reynolds? $32 - it was eminently drinkable.
Couple of flies in the upstairs area - that was disconcerting to me, but they buzzed off eventually.
Service was friendly and unobtrusive - we were the opposite of rushed - much appreciated given the celebratory atmosphere.
Prices were a teensy bit high - like maybe a dollar or two above what you might expect - call it the Harvard Square markup -
It's on Winthrop Street, next to the old House of Blues (which has a banner strung across the front proclaiming some sort of a Irish-pub/restaurant theme) -
So I am not really sure how I would characterize this place - No clear theme - no clear direction - seemed like they were heavier on the fish...
I can't say I'd go there by choice, when I think of places to go - but for a group, it was a great choice - there is also a patio, where it seemed most people were dining on this summer evening -
There you go.

Atlanta Braves vs. Oakland Athletics MLB Pick, Odds, Prediction 8/16/14
Oakland Athletics (73-49) at Atlanta Braves (62-60)
MLB Baseball: Saturday, August 16, 2014 at 7:10 pm (Turner Field)
Sonny Gray (R) (12-6) (2.860) vs. Julio Teheran (R) (10-9) (3.059)
The Line: Atlanta Braves -117 / Oakland Athletics +107 --- Over/Under: 6.5 See the Latest Odds
The Atlanta Braves host the Oakland Athletics for game two of a three game weekend series at Turner Field.
The Oakland Athletics were beaten up on Friday night in Atlanta as starting pitcher Jason Hammel again failed to thrive since coming over from the Cubs. Hammel allowed five runs on six hits and was relieved of his duties after just three innings and the Oakland bats could only muster two runs on four hits as Nate Freiman had two RBI's on a home run in the fourth after the deficit was already too large to overcome. The A's rank 1st in the league in runs scored and have the best record in baseball, so it's unlikely they'll allow this current three game losing skid to continue much longer.
USA TODAY Sports
The Athletics will hand the ball to Sonny Gray for Saturday's game in hopes of returning to form. Gray has lost his last three starts after winning the five starts prior. In his last outing, Gray allowed three runs (two earned) on six hits over seven innings to bounce back from being shelled on August 6th by the Rays. For the season Gray has a WHIP of 1.21 and ERA of 2.86 while compiling an impressive 12-6 record. None of the Braves hitters have seen the righty Gray which could very well factor in the A's favor for this matchup.
The Atlanta Braves are just 10-17 in the second half of the season, but last night everything seemed to click for the sliding Braves as they stepped up their game against the MLB-leading Athletics. The Braves scored all seven of their runs via the long ball in last night's 7-2 win as Justin Upton, Evan Gattis, Freddie Freeman and Phil Gosselin all went deep in the rout. The Braves may have played their way out of the NL East race with their recent play but they are still in the heart of the Wild Card race with plenty of baseball left to play.
Julio Teheran takes the mound on Saturday night looking to shake off a strange unraveling in his last outing against the Dodgers. Teheran was absolutely cruising for five innings until a leadoff single by his mound opponent initiated a downhill spiral in the 6th where he was battered with singles, eventually allowing five runs on nine hits over 7.1 innings when all was said and done. For the season Teheran has been generally sharp as he enter Saturday's game with a WHIP of 1.09, ERA of 3.06 and record of 10-9. Teheran could realize an edge like his mound opponent Sonny Gray as the Athletics have never seen Teheran outside of bench player Kyle Blanks.
The price isn't exactly right on the A's but they're the better team over the long haul while the Braves performance last night can be classified as more of a fluky result in the grand scheme of things.

Antibiotic Mouthwash Gets Boost from National Cancer Institute
PolyMedix won a $161,000 grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) to progress evaluation of its defensin-mimetic antibiotic candidate brilacidin in the treatment of oral mucositis. The funds will support dosing studies in animal models, evaluation of the drug's mechanism of action, and optimization of an oral rinse formulation.
Preclinical in vivo studies have previously demonstrated brilacidin reduces the occurrence of severe ulcerative oral mucositis in animal models by over 94%, PolyMedix claims. The firm is currently working toward an IND application with FDA, and projects clinical trials could start in cancer patients during the first half of 2013.
"Like host defense proteins, brilacidin and related compounds have shown antibacterial, antibiofilm, and anti-inflammatory properties," states Richard Scott, Ph.D., vp of research at PolyMedix. "We believe that the combination of these attributes contribute to the encouraging efficacy of brilacidin demonstrated in these animal studies."
Brilacidin is the first in PolyMedix' program to develop defensin-mimetic antibiotics, a class of antibacterials designed to mimic the action of host defense proteins that kill infecting bacteria by forming pores in the bacterial cell membrane. The firm claims that by mimicking this mechanism, brilacidin exploits a method of bacterial cell killing that significantly reduces the risk for emergence of resistance. The drug has demonstrated rapid bactericidal activity against a number of Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens, including methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), drug resistant Enteroccus, E. coli, and NDM-1 drug-resistant Klebsiella pneumonia.
In April PolyMedix reported promising data from a Phase II clinical trial evaluating brilacidin in the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused by Staphyloccocus aureus, including MRSA. The firm in addition plans to develop brilacidin against blood stream infections and lung infections.

As a naughty child who seldom made his parents proud I climbed up trees and spent long hours up there concealed, observing birds, watching people without being noticed, peeping in through many house windows and plucking Guavas. The part of Delhi where I grew up had many such dense and huge trees which seconded as a hideout especially when my parents looked for me to punish me for some window glass I must have shattered in a game of cricket or some prank I would have played on my siblings. Little did I know that the fascination for trees will one day develop into a deep affection and bonding so much so that I would be enjoying walks to admire trees in the gardens in every European city that my work would bring me to. I try to steal a break from my busy schedule and make a desperate attempt to capture the varied hues of yellow, brown, green, tan and orange in the autumn months.
Having recently moved out of my home of 15 years, the thing I miss most about it is not its quiet park- facing location or the helpful neighbors, but a giant tree that was a family member in many ways. The tree stood tall and gave me hope as I woke up to the melody of singing birds and squirrels running amok on its long branches. The tree was part of my front yard and loomed over all the three floors, camouflaging its balconies in a way that I could see the people strolling in the garden right opposite whereas the tree kept me hidden from them.
As I bid adieu to a friend of a decade and a half, I hope that its new occupants will continue to tend to it the way I did for it's a haven for birds, many of who work better than an alarm clock.
Popularly known as "ladies tongue", the SIRIS tree is a native of North India and many wide roads in Gurgaon are still dotted with it. Its beauty in different seasons can inspire poetry. My favorite was again the autumn when it looked barren and brown as the green leaves gave way to long brown pods containing three to four seeds placed equidistant from each other.
Nibbling on the pod, disrobing its seeds and chewing it till it dislodged from the tree was a favorite pastime of squirrels. The rain of pods continued from dawn till dusk as if squirrels were on a mission to cover the entire floor with it.
The crushing sound under the feet while a guest walked in would raise an alarm much before he could reach the call bell.
The most common visitor was a green-headed barbet who dutifully never failed to give a wake- up call in the monsoon season. I honed my photography skills as I silently went on a clicking spree ensuring that squirrels and birds were unperturbed by my presence in the balcony. Mynas (common starlings) occupied the only deep hollow by chasing away the previous occupants- a family of five parrots who lived there for a fortnight or so. I regularly sighted Grey Hornbills, Oriental Magpie Robins, Shikras, Bulbuls, Babblers, Purple Sunbirds, Warblers, Pigeons, Crows, Common Hoopoe and House sparrows.
A variety of birds was driven to the tree for its soft silky white flowers in the spring season that emitted an intoxicating smell, but ones who partied the most were the squirrels. They even tried to chase the birds who interrupted their sprints and friendly race on its long trunk and branches. Long live my tree…. you will be missed.

April 25, 2008 Expedition 17 Crew
Early Friday, the Jules Verne Automated Transfer Vehicle's main engines fired for 12 minutes, 15 seconds to complete a two-part reboost of the International Space Station.
This placed the orbiting complex at the correct altitude for docking of the Progress 29 resupply ship on May 16, two days after its launch. The reboost also placed the station in the proper configuration for the arrival of space shuttle Discovery on the STS-124 mission scheduled to launch May 31.
The Expedition 17 crew also wrapped up a productive work week filled with science experiments and station maintenance.
Flight Engineer Garrett Reisman continued working with Coarsening in Solid Liquid Mixtures-2, an experiment which examines the kinetics of competitive particle growth within a liquid metal matrix.
Commander Sergei Volkov conducted routine checks of the Zvezda Service Module audio subsystem which allows crew members to communicate with each other aboard the station.
The Expedition 16 crew members are in Star City, Russia, for debriefs and rehabilitation. Astronaut Peggy Whitson and cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko landed in the steppes of Kazakhstan on April 19 after 192 days in space.

It's free therapy day! Yep, it's Thursday. So thank those people who irked you this past week and get it off your chest. Then go link with Kmama at The Daily Dribbles and check out everyone else's peeves.
To Nick--I realize you couldn't sleep this morning but I was totally not ready to get up at 6:05am. Thank you very much for getting me up along with you. Maybe tomorrow we can sleep a bit longer? Please?
To the officials that decided to make every road around the university campus in our town 20 mph. Thank you very much for deciding to make all of them 20mph. Now I am in danger of speeding because I can't remember to slow down cause I'm so not used to the new limits. I guess the city has to make money some how.
To the girl who "Parked at the curb" in front of our house.You know when you park you need to be closer to the curb. Five feet from it does not count. Too bad about the ticket, but it wasn't me who ratted you out. I'm not happy about where I had to park because you can't park. So thank you very much for your wonderful parking job.
A genuine Thank you very much to Stacy over at SLMPeterson for doing the leg work for some low sodium ideas. Got see what she has up. We can all do with less sodium in our diets.

Blue Bellied Rollers (Coracias cyanogaster)
The blue-bellied roller (Coracias cyanogaster) is a member of the roller family of birds which breeds across Africa in a narrow belt from Senegal to northeast Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is resident, apart from some local seasonal movements, in mature moist savannah dominated by Isoberlinia trees.
The blue-bellied roller is a large bird, nearly the size of a jackdaw at 28–30 cm. It has a dark green back, white head, neck and breast, with the rest of the plumage mainly blue. Adults have 6 cm tail streamers. Sexes are similar, but the juvenile is a drabber version of the adult.
The blue-bellied roller is striking in its strong direct flight, with the brilliant blues of the wings contrasting with the dark back and cream colored head, and the tail streamers trailing behind. source

Although ethical positioning through the 'Garments Without Guilt' campaign, has not brought in higher margins for made-in-Sri Lanka garments, it has pulled in more orders. It has also allowed Sri Lankan garment factories to differentiate themselves in international markets.
"There are lower cost destinations like Bangladesh, but they have an ethical question mark hanging over them," said Mr. M. Raghuraman, the chief executive of Brandix Market Watch told just style.
"Now, with more consumer awareness, compliance matters. It's not like before. Buyers are now getting into ethical sourcing. That's where we have been able to do better. They are not paying us more for ethical products but they are giving us more orders."

Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) has issued a tender for active electronically-scanned array (AESA) radars for the HAL Tejas Mk-1A lightweight multi-role fighter.
A source from HAL informed the Economic Times that the tender – packaged as an 'expression-of-interest' was sent on Wednesday, 14 December to five major leading defence vendors.
Israel's Elta is the leading contender.
Defense News reports that India will be seeking 100 AESA radars for $1.85 billion U.S.
Defense News added that 100 self-protection jamming pods will be sought for $200 million U.S., for which bids had been sent to Elta, Saab, Raytheon, Northrop Grumman, Thales, Rosonboronexport, Indra, and Leonardo (likely Elettronica, in which Leonardo owns 31%).
In November, the Government of India ordered 83 HAL Tejas Mk-1A fighters for $7.5 billion U.S.
HAL's bid is essentially a component of that order.
As per the Economic Times, HAL is currently manufacturing eight Tejas units per year, but it is working to ramp-up the production annual production rate to 16 by 2018.
Notes & Comments:
The Economic Times noted that Israel – i.e. Elta – is the leading candidate to fulfill the Tejas Mk-1A AESA radar requirement. This would make sense considering that Elta had been chosen – via its EL/M-2032 pulse-Doppler radar – to equip the Tejas Mk1. HAL evidently has a relationship with Elta and the fact that the Tejas is poised to use the Rafael Derby would favour continuity.
That said, Thales' entry on the back of the Indian Air Force (IAF)'s multi-billion dollar Rafale purchase could add a competitive dimension. Paired with the commercial offset element, Thales could consider offering a solution in parallel with technology expertise and support.
SIPRI has listed 200 ELTA 2052 AESA radar sales to India as of December 2015. However, Israeli help has often come at quite high prices and Parrikar has been vocal about it, this might be a combo of
1. A chance to beat down costs (not very clear how)
2. Expand the efforts to get hands on AESA technology to make India self reliant soon
The ELTA 2052 purchased would continue to get fitted on the 80 odd Jaguars under the DARIN 3 ongoing upgrades (and on the LP series Tejas Mk 1/1A?).
Unlikely, despite the costs – The off-the-shelf Israeli solution is most likely to be bought.
A better way to get AESA technology along with GaN technology would be to accept SAAB 's offer for the single engine fighter bid
That was my thought too, but then careful observation of the Gripen offer leads to them failing to meet two key points (they cannot give what they don't have)
1. No control over Engine/related development
2. Reliance on Selex for radar (I get the point they are related and all)..
Selex/Finmeccanica/Leonardo is also being invited though my guess is Raytheon/Northrop or Elta will end up winning.
They will obviously buy them from Israel
An aesa radar cost 18 mill $ a piece. That's hell lot of money.
I was expecting around 4/5 mil $
@amar007:disqus , that is the precise problem for us. Given past experiences with the Russians (Engines, SMERCH related blow), French (DCNS saga) and Israelis (Barak costs and tech share inversion)…I doubt if ELTA or Northrop will help us in AESA tech. It might be akin to Cryogenic engine development when India went native/reverse engineered where possible.

Helen Nelder trained at Ecole Jacques Lecoq in Paris. She is a community playwright, director, speaker and mother. Her plays are developed through extensive research and improvisation.
Helen's acclaimed first play, w@rn, is a story of domestic abuse, based on a combination of personal experience and research. Since 2000 the play has been performed extensively for police, social services, local councils and to members of the legal profession, in support of events addressing the issues of domestic abuse.
Helen's next community play was developed with Brighton Young Carers about their experiences and was performed for parents and members of the local community. It was rewritten for Slough Young Carers with the support of Creative Partnerships Slough and performed at The West Wing again to parents, local councillors and MP's.
Helen has worked in schools, using her anti-war play 'What I Just Shot' to teach citizenship and media. She has also been a writer in residence at St Andrew's Primary School in Brighton.
In 2005 Helen developed the w@rn DVD Resource Pack. She continues to raise awareness through speaking at events about Domestic Abuse.
Helen is currently working on a new radio play and lives in Brighton with her husband and daughter.

Andrew Richards
I am an amateur photographer, i generally shoot a lot of winter action sports but am open to and thoroughly enjoy nearly any type of photography. I am currently a college student so i do not have a lot of time or money to travel long distances but i do my best to make the most out of nearby areas or the university campus itself. While my current equipment is very humble and I am still learning lot as I am relatively new to photography, I make sure to make the most out of what I have available to me and am proud of many of my pictures.
Please feel free to critique my photos as I am constantly looking to improve my skills and you're comments would help immensely. I will also do my best to comment in kind to everyone who comments on my photos. And when I comment i will try to do more than just say "nice shot", I will point out why I think it is a good shot.
A side note: I have never been a big fan of editing photographs, I strongly prefer to get it right on the camera. Very rarely will i post images that have been edited more than small corrections and things like lighting, contrast and the like.
