Memory Bulletin: DRAMs, NAND down
Post a comment
SAN JOSE, Calif. It was a forgettable week for memories, as DRAMs and NAND flash were down.
For the period from July 21 to July 28, spot prices for NAND flash-memories fell for the seventh consecutive week "and showed the steepest price decline during the previous seven weeks," according to Gartner Inc.
Spot prices fell by an average of 3.6 percent during the period, standing at $2.28 on a 1-gigabit (Gbit) equivalent basis, according to the market research firm. Prices for 4- and 8-Gbit parts fell 4.2 and 4.7 percent, respectively, during the period, according to Gartner.
"Demand continues to be seasonally soft, which, in addition to pre-emptive price declines initiated by SanDisk in the retail sector in July, is contributing the price declines," according to Gartner.
As previously reported, there is expected to be an "undersupply" of NAND in the fourth quarter due to huge anticipated demand, the firm said.
But this week, the market started off with a bang. SanDisk Corp., a leader in flash memory subsystems for imaging and audio storage, is acquiring one of its largest solid-state memory competitors, Msystems Ltd. of Israel, in a stock transaction worth approximately $1.35 billion.
Meanwhile, during the same period, "DRAM spot pricing was mixed," according to Gartner. DRAM spot prices fell by an average of 0.8 percent from the previous week, standing at $2.48 on a 256-megabit basis, according to the firm.
Prices for DDR1 parts were stable due to limited supply. DDR2 prices continue to fall due to lackluster demand, according to the research firm.

Shock As Mother Sells Her Newborn Baby For 20,000 Naira In Calabar Cross River State
Oct 30, 2015 – Shock As Mother Sells Her Newborn Baby For 20,000 Naira In Calabar Cross River State
Cross River State Police Command has arrested a young mother who sold her two-week old baby for 20,000 Nigerian Naira in Calabar.
In a news briefing in Calabar on Thursday, Calabar Police spokesman, John Eluu, said that on October 27, the police received information that one Miss Maria Ekanem who was delivered of a baby two weeks ago was negotiating the sale of her baby.
He said that Ekanem allegedly negotiated with one Mrs Sunday Abang, the matron of Sedatoe Maternity Clinic on No 2, Umon Street, Calabar South, for sale of the baby. The PPRO added that one Dr Okokon Offiong, who runs Evangel Clinic, was also contacted to sell the baby. He said: "Ekanem went to where she and the buyers had agreed to meet at Inyang by Fuller Street.
On arrival, she was given N20,000 as part payment for the transaction. "On receipt of the information, a team of police detective swung into action leading to the arrest of five suspects, and the recovery the baby boy and a white Toyota RAV4 Jeep with registration No. JP 493 ABC used during the operation.
Eluu, who said investigation was still ongoing, promised that the suspects would be charged to court as soon as investigations were concluded. He added: "We assure members of the public of the command's resolve and preparedness to wage war against all forms of crimes and criminality mostly in these ember months. "We are warning all troublemakers that the command will not spare them in her effort to weed criminal elements out of the state."
However, Ekanem said she had no intention of selling her baby. She said she wanted to give out the child for proper care since she could not afford to take care of the child.
She added: "I have no intention of selling my child.
I don't have money to take care of the child that is why I wanted to give him out to someone to help me take good care of him. I am not working, so I don't have money to take care of him and even feed myself.

Azerbaijan: International organisations concerned by the detention of youth opposition activist
08 Oct 2012
The International Partnership Group for Azerbaijan (IPGA), coordinated by ARTICLE 19, is concerned about the arrest of Zaur Gurbanli, an activist with the N!DA Civic Movement and the Positive Change Youth Movement. Gurbanli was held incommunicado from 29 September to 1 October and is now serving a 15 day administrative sentence for allegedly resisting the police officers when arrested.
In particular, the IPGA is concerned by the covert nature of Gurbanli's arrest and detention, and the apparent political motivations guiding the case.
On the morning of 29 September 2012, Zaur Gurbanli, 25, was arrested outside his apartment in the capital Baku by members of the Azerbaijiani Interior Ministry's Central Unit Against Organised Crime. Gurbanli's apartment and offices were then searched in his presence, but without a search warrant, after which the activist was transferred to an unknown location. During the following two days no information was provided to his family or lawyer regarding the activist's whereabouts or the reason for his detention. One of the officials reportedly claimed that Gurbanli was being taken to the Yasamal District Police Department, yet when contacted by the activist's lawyer the department denied this claim. A witness later reported seeing Gurbanli near the Anti-organised Crime Unit although the Ministry of Internal Affairs refused to confirm this. The silence surrounding Gurbanli's detention led his family and friends to believe he had been kidnapped.
Due to the lack of information regarding his whereabouts there was also significant delay before the activist was allowed access to a lawyer, violating his fundamental rights as a detainee. Gurbanli's lawyer, Asabali Mustafayev, was finally granted access to his client on 1 October and it was subsequently reported the activist's detention was based on information about his possible involvement in drug trafficking. However, it appears that no charges have been brought with regards to these allegations. Instead, Gurbanli was sentenced in a closed hearing by Absheron Regional Court to 15 days administrative detention under Article 19 310.1 of the Code of Administrative Offences for deliberately resisting to obey lawful demands of on-duty police officers. It was also claimed by the authorities that illegal documents and other materials had been found at his workplace.
During the search of the office of the Positive Change Movement, carried out without a search warrant on 29 September, officials from the Central Unit Against Organized Crime had confiscated printed N!DA campaign materials showing Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev's silhouette and the words 'I will go in 2013 if you join the N!DA'. Gurbanli's laptop had also been seized. In a subsequent statement other members of the N!DA Civic Movement stated that the 8,000 flyers confiscated by the police were only promotional materials intended to attract new members to their organisation, which had been printed in accordance with Azerbaijani law.
At a press conference held on 1 October, after Gurbanli's sentencing, representatives of N!DA indicated their belief that his activism was the real motivation behind his arrest.
Zaur Gurbanli's arrest is the latest in a series of apparently politically motivated arrests over the last few months. Particularly targeted are those, like Gurbanli, who were critical of the authorities in the build up to, and during, the Eurovision Song Contest, hosted by Azerbaijan in May this year. Gurbanli was part of the Sing for Democracy movement, which used the contest as an opportunity to highlight human rights abuses in Azerbaijan. His fellow activist Mehman Huseynov was arrested in June 2012, on charges of hooliganism. Although later released from pre-trial detention he remains under investigation. There are currently seven imprisoned journalists/human rights defenders, a further six detained on pre-trial detention and two, including Huseynov, who have been charged but not detained.
The IPGA condemns the Azerbaijani authorities' ongoing attempts to silence those who criticise the government and/or support political change; the detention and trial of opposition activists, as well as the seemingly political charges and sentences brought against them, all of which violate international standards on the right to freedom of expression and information.
Following Gurbanli's arrest, the IPGA recommends that the Azerbaijani authorities immediately take the following action:
- Carry out a prompt, thorough and transparent investigation into Gurbanli's incommunicado detention and hold those responsible to account;
- Make public the evidence supporting its charge against Zaur Gurbanli;
- Ensure Azerbaijan upholds international standards regarding the right to freedom of expression and right to freedom of information and that these rights are respected and guaranteed for all its citizens.

Nigerian police raided a so-called baby factory in the south-eastern city of Aba, rescuing 32 pregnant teenage girls who were allegedly being held captive in order to have their babies bought, the AFP reports.
Authorities claim the raided home in Aba was used to lock up the teenagers, force them to get pregnant and then sell their babies to be trafficked and used for ritual witchcraft or illegal adoption.
"We stormed the premises of the Cross Foundation in Aba three days ago following a report that pregnant girls aged between 15 and 17 are being made to make babies for the proprietor," police commissioner for Abia state Bala Hassan told AFP.
The police commissioner said they rescued 32 pregnant girls and held the owner of the home who is being questioned over allegations that he sells the babies.
The girls allegedly sell their babies for between 25,000 and 30,000 naira ($160 and $192) to the home owner, who then sells them for upwards of one million naira each to buyers.
The home's owner denied running a "baby factory" or "baby farm," as it has been called in the local press. He says the home has been set up for teenagers with unwanted pregnancies, BBC reports.
The United Nations ranks human trafficking the third most common crime in Nigeria, after economic fraud and drug trafficking. It estimates that at least 10 children are sold across Nigeria each day.

text: (Adds details on electricity rates, background) RIO DE JANEIRO, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Brazil's 12-month inflation rate rose more than expected in July, to the highest in nearly 12 years, as electricity rates continued to increase sharply. Consumer prices rose 9.56 percent in the 12 months though July, the highest rate since November 2003, from 8.89 percent in June, statistics agency IBGE said on Friday. The benchmark IPCA index rose 0.62 percent month-on-month, slightly above the median of analysts' forecasts for an increase of 0.60 percent. Electricity rates, one of the leading drivers of Brazil's soaring inflation this year, rose 4.2 percent in July from June. High inflation has compounded Brazil's worst economic crisis in 25 years, helping send the popularity of President Dilma Rousseff and consumer confidence to record lows. The central bank, which targets annual inflation at 4.5 percent, has raised interest rates to nine-year highs since October. It signaled this week it could keep increasing rates if inflation spiked more than expected. Electricity rates have climbed sharply since the beginning of the year as a severe drought depleted reservoirs of Brazil's main hydroelectric plants. Pent-up pressures after years of artificially low prices during Rousseff's first term also contributed to the steep increase in power rates. Rains have returned recently, allowing officials to turn off some of the costly thermoelectric plants that have backstopped Brazil's power system. It remains unclear whether rates could drop in coming months as a result. Other government-regulated prices increased in July, including health insurance, which increased 1.6 percent, and interstate bus fares, which rose 6.3 percent. Below is the result for each price category: July June - Food and beverages 0.65 0.63 - Housing 1.52 0.86 - Household articles 0.86 0.72 - Apparel -0.31 0.58 - Transport 0.15 0.70 - Health and personal care 0.84 0.91 - Personal expenses 0.61 1.63 - Education 0.00 0.20 - Communication 0.30 0.34 - IPCA 0.62 0.79 (Reporting by Silvio Cascione and Rodrigo Viga Gaier in Rio de Janeiro; Editing by Bernadette Baum and Phil Berlowitz)

WINONA, Minn. (AP) — A sneezing driver is to blame for a power outage in Winona, according to a report in the Winona Daily News.
Police say Travers DeWitte inadvertently stepped on the gas when a sneeze erupted, sending his vehicle across an intersection, up a curb and into a guy wire attached to a power pole.
The crash snapped the cable, which flew up and severed a power line, cutting service to about 1,300 Xcel Energy customers Wednesday.
Police tell the Winona Daily News that sparks from the broken line ignited a small grass fire which quickly burned itself out.
Power was later restored.

Today, I can breathe a long sigh of relief. When a person writes something as flowery as this about a game that they've only seen being played, there's a strong risk that the person in question will have to eat every one of those hastily chosen words. Not this time: I have now played an entire case from Rockstar's forthcoming LA Noire, and, but for some unforeseeable disaster, the studio seems to have another critical darling on its hands.
Here's a complete guide to every element of what is looking like one of the most significant games of the year.
LA Noire: The City
Rockstar's mastery of atmosphere has been proved time and again. No matter what one might say about Grand Theft Auto's shooting mechanic or the drawn-out Mexico section of Red Dead Redemption, the pure, sensual pleasure of inhabiting their worlds is beyond reproach. LA Noire looks set to be another home-run in that respect, recreating the Los Angeles of 1947 with an unerring eye for detail: roads obliterated by the freeways were restored; businesses long-since shuttered were returned to their former premises; crimes committed in the game are straight from the headlines of the day.
Like the crime novels and films from which it draws inspiration, LA Noire's story explores the underbelly of the city, and particularly the glamour and allure of Hollywood. This will be nothing new to hardened veterans of noir fiction, but, like Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire is an attempt to realise a classic cinematic genre in interactive form. Familiarity is kind of the point.
The world is open to you, but your access to it is more controlled than in a game like Grand Theft Auto, or even Canis Canem Edit. You will drive between locations the vast majority of the time, and you're free to choose your own route. Occasionally, you'll get a call for assistance over the radio, which you can choose to pursue or ignore, but I get the impression that these side-pursuits are there as much for authenticity as the need for more gameplay.
LA Noire: The Cops
In 1947, there were a lot of confused young men flooding into America's major cities. Veterans of World War II were arriving home en masse, some of them trying to continue with their former lives, others deciding to re-evaluate and ring in the changes. LA Noire's protagonist, Cole Phelps, is one of them, starting work as a patrolman for the LAPD to make a positive contribution to the city. He was awarded the Silver Star for bravery in the Battle of Okinawa but prefers not to discuss it, which pretty much guarantees that his experiences will play a key role in the plot at some point.
The LAPD see Phelps as poster-boy material, and fast-track him through the ranks. The game follows him on this meteoric rise, solving cases on a number of different desks, from Traffic to Vice to Homicide. Each desk introduces a new partner character who can offer advice, threats or sarcastic banter as the situation demands. And for those who would rather not engage in LA Noire's open city, you can always ask your partner to drive.
LA Noire: The Crime Scene
This is probably a good point to remind everyone that L.A. Noire does feature the driving, shooting and brawling for which Rockstar games are known, but only in relatively small doses. Beyond that, the gameplay is roughly divided into two parts, the first of which is investigating the crime scene.
The case I played was the Silk Stocking Murder, and after a curt debriefing from the irascible Captain Donnelly I was poking around the corpse of a mutilated Hispanic girl. Rockstar makes no attempt to sanitise the experience: the body must be closely examined by grabbing and moving the arms, body and head. The fact that she is naked could be a clue. The nature of the wounds might help profile the killer.
In this case the victim had "Kiss The Blood. BD" scrawled on her stomach in red lipstick, but there are always other items scattered across the surrounding area - some are pertinent to the case, others are red herrings, still others are useless junk. The information gleaned from the crime scene evidence adds notes on people, places and items to Phelps's notebook, which can be referenced at any time.
Certain leads can be followed up with HQ from phone-booths all over the city - a licence plate, perhaps, or a convict's name - but most will require Phelps to find and question people who knew the victim, which neatly brings us to the other part of LA Noire's gameplay.

Mary Portas has long had her critics. Dismissed by some as a TV celebrity lacking the necessary gravitas to tackle deep entrenched problems on our high streets, her Portas Pilots were always up against it. But while some jeered from the sidelines, pouring cynicism on the idea, I always believed the Portas approach was a much-needed breath of fresh air. At last there was someone making the case for a different kind of high street that shattered the clone town consensus, which had become an article of faith for unimaginative regeneration chiefs.
At their best Portas Pilots embodied a spirit of brave community-led experimentalism allowing local people to reclaim public spaces that had become eyesores. They had unlimited potential and looked to be creating a blueprint for the future of high streets.
But two things threatened to hold this quantum leap of progress back. Firstly, it soon became clear that Government never bought into the idea seriously and saw the whole scheme as nothing more than a valuable PR exercise. How else can you explain ministers queuing up for photo-shoots and issuing endless press releases on the Pilots only to then commit less funding to the programme than Jordan Henderson's transfer fee to Liverpool? Or introducing the biggest increase in business rates in 20-years just before launching the Pilots? Or ignoring the central recommendations from Portas' report?
Whichever way you look at it Portas never had full support from Government and I believe she was used.
Secondly, while the concept of town teams had the potential to unleash a busload of great ideas and community spirit onto tired, desolate high streets it didn't take long before councils started to dominate the teams and spoiled them with cloying bureaucracy.
This has been confirmed to me by the results of a Freedom of Information request I submitted to find a breakdown of how the first wave of Portas Pilots have spent their money. The findings are extremely depressing.
Only 12 per cent of the money (£136,000) has been spent so far with very little going on delivery and the bulk of it on bureaucracy and admin costs. This was a unique opportunity to try something different for the high street but many councils have reverted to type and wasted funding on the usual bureaucracy of meetings, expense claims and consultants.
There are countless bad examples. Bedminster Council spent £15,510 on consultants including a backdated £2,000 for the cost of its application and Stockton-on-Tees Council spent £2,549 on time spent by business representatives on town team activities, £1,000 on rail and travel costs and £35 on refreshments for a ministerial visit to the town team.
Stockport Council has yet to spend any of the £100,000 it were awarded last May.
Only a few days ago, Mary Portas said that all the people involved in the regeneration of their high streets are doing this for nothing. I wonder how she would feel knowing that Stockton Council is paying business representatives to be on the town team? It hardly seems in the spirit of the Pilots.
Watching a Stockport councillor on the BBC's Newsnight last night explain why 259 people had to vote on every item of expenditure was painful. We need town centre champions, not a committee. Equally painful was hearing Dartford Council chiefs yesterday try to justify spending 24 per cent of their money so far on Peppa Pig, Mike the Knight and Fireman Sam costumes. Wasn't the criteria set by Government for these awards that they must offer a "transformational vision"?
To me this makes a mockery of ministers' rhetoric about the Pilots being "the vanguard of a high street revolution" that would "kick start a renaissance" in town centres.
Despite such snail-like progress, there is still a future for town centres, but we need a much greater sense of urgency about the task ahead – and recognition that councils are not capable of delivering the dynamic change needed.
After all, these are the people who presided over the decline in high streets. Why does the Government think that schemes to reverse years of decline on the high street can only be delivered by Councils? If you want to see creative solutions and real innovation then it's time bureaucrats were pushed out of the way and entrepreneurs, creatives and community groups were given bigger opportunities. You've got to bring fresh thinking into the room. The Portas Pilots are a great idea. But at the moment they're at risk of drowning in bureaucracy.

- Valencia Test - Day One
Felipe Massa racked up 102 laps in his Ferrari F10 and set the fastest lap time of 1:12.574 on the opening day of multi-team pre-season testing at Valencia's Circuit Ricardo Tormo on Monday.
"The first impressions from the car are very positive," Massa said. "The car is easy to drive, has more grip than last year's car and it's also easy for the mechanics to work with. It was a very satisfying day, but clearly there's still a tremendous amount of work to be done, because our competitors are also very strong.
"But I'm very happy with this first day of testing. We didn't have the slightest mechanical problem all day, and the grip was there from the first run and already then the car was already well balanced. Then we worked on the set-up and improved the car. That with the fact the track was also improved during the day allowed us to improve our lap times by quite a lot during the day."
Pedro de la Rosa said he had no problems getting back in the cockpit after such a long time. He ended up second with a time of 1:12.784 in his Sauber.
Michael Schumacher roared back into F1 in convincing style as he was third quickest overall with a time of 1:12.947 in his Mercedes MGP W01, a full half-second faster than team-mate Nico Rosberg who drove the same car for the first two thirds of the day.
"In a way it is like 1991," Schumacher said. "When I came into F1 I was shocked on the first lap and extremely excited on the second lap and further laps. And it is exactly the same today. I feel like a young boy that has a toy in his hands and enjoys himself.
"I think we have done a very good job. The guys did a superb job out there, making a few control checks and making the car reliable. We did more than 80 laps, and for the first day that is a superb job."
Rosberg was fourth after setting a 1:13.543. "It was a good first day of testing for us and my initial impressions of the new car are very positive," he said. "It felt great to be in the car for the first time and to get our pre-season testing programme underway. Generally everything felt good although I was sitting too low in the car and couldn't see the track very well which we will improve for tomorrow.
"It's too early to get an initial impression of the competitiveness but it was very special to drive the new Silver Arrow out of the garage. I'm looking forward to tomorrow when we have a full day of testing to make further progress."
Gary Paffett, ironically the only test driver who is scheduled to appear, is handling the shakedown duties for McLaren. He wound up fifth with a time of 1:13.846 in the new MP4-25.
Rubens Barrichello caused the only red flag of the day when his Williams stopped out on the track in the afternoon with a throttle problem. "I feel like it is the first day of school," he said of settling in with his new team.
Sebastien Buemi officially kicked off the test when he drove his Toro Rosso out of the pit lane at Valencia's Circuit Ricardo Tormo shortly after the track opened at 10am. The Toro Rosso team had worked late into the previous night putting the finishing touches on the car, but it spent much of the day in the garage because of problems with the gear selection mechanism.
Buemi, who only completed 18 laps, got out late in the day to clock a 1:14.762 which was seventh fastest overall. "It is a bit too early to speak about how the car feels," he said. "At the moment I am just looking at my seat, the position and all the other things we need to solve on the car. For the rest we will wait for the next test."
Robert Kubica ended up at the bottom of the time sheets with a time of 1:15.000 in the Renault R30. "There are some areas of the car to improve," he said, "but the overall feeling of the car is quite good."
In the morning the drivers were doing short runs punctuated by long stops in the pits for the cars to be checked over.
"The main target here is to check all the systems," said BMW Sauber's technical director Willy Rampf. "We want to get an overall picture about the car, and where we are regarding weight distribution, for example, because this will be one of the main issues this season. And then we will feed that information back so that in the next tests we can work on set-ups and preparing everything."
The weather cooperated with it being sunny throughout the day and the air temperature climbing to 13 degrees.

A week to the Edo State governorship election, the Peoples Democratic Party and the Action Congress of Nigeria are still at loggerheads.
A national leader of the PDP, Dr. Samuel Ogbemudia, in an interview with journalists in Benin, said that the party was confident of victory.
But Edo ACN chairman, Thomas Okosun, countered Ogbemudia, saying his party would not allow the PDP to rig on Saturday.
Ogbemudia, during a recent reconciliation meeting of PDP members at his Benin residence, had outlined how the party's candidate, Charles Airhiavbere, would emerge as the next governor of the state.
He said, "A research has been carried out in the past two weeks, which revealed that the PDP will garner 25 per cent of votes from Edo North, where Oshiomhole is from, 70 per cent from Edo Central, Chief Tony Anenih's area, and will win Edo South by 60 per cent."
He, however, admitted that it would not be easy to defeat the incumbent, saying, "Not only is the governor intelligent, he has a very high IQ (Intelligent Quotient), and he is loved by the people."
Edo South Senatorial District, with seven local government areas, has the highest voter population, doubling that of any of the other two districts.
Edo North, Oshiomhole's home zone, has six LGs and Edo Central, the supposed stronghold of another PDP leader, Anenih.
Okosun told SATURDAY PUNCH that his party would check the PDP, which he said was banking on rigging.
He said, "They have also been indulging in other acts: sponsoring violence and buying voter cards from prospective voters in the state. All these things are the antics of a desperate party, but the people of Edo are now wiser and cannot be hoodwinked.
"They will fail because all their evil plans will be checkmated. The people will monitor their votes right from the polling booth to the state INEC head office.
"The good works of the ACN under the comrade governor is for us, just as he has been highlighting at our rallies across the state, we cannot allow the tide of development to be reversed in Edo. The people will vote ACN, and are ready to defend their votes."
Also, the Director of Media and Publicity of the Oshiomhole Campaign Organisation, Kassim Afegbua, dismissed the PDP's claim that it would win the election.
He said, "The PDP is lazy about campaigns. It is relying on the use of imported thugs and touts into Edo State.
"They will be shocked to find that the ruling party in the state has tremendous goodwill to checkmate all their shenanigans."
Calling for the observance of the principle of one man, one vote, President Goodluck Jonathan had said that ballot box stuffing, falsification of election results and violence would not be tolerated during the poll.
He said heads of the country's security outfits, including the Army, Police and the State Security Service, had indicated their readiness for the election.
Meanwhile, the Independent National Electoral Commission says it has deployed 8,842 personnel for the election.
It said seven candidates would contest the election scheduled for July 14, 2012.
They are Adams Aliyu Oshiomhole (ACN), Solomon Edehiri (All Nigeria Peoples Party), Izevbuwa Roland (Congress for Progressive Change), Andrew Igwemoh (Labour Party), Paul Orumwense (National Conscience Party), Charles Airhiarbere (PDP) and Frank Ukonga (Social Democratic Mega Party). The commission's Director (Public Affairs), Mr. Emmanuel Umenger, said there were 2,627 polling units in the state, adding that INEC would be "deploying 8,842 personnel to conduct the election."
According to him, 1,555,776 registered voters are to take part in the election.
The state REC, Kassim Gaidam, during a workshop for some of the participating officials, gave an assurance of early distribution of materials on the election day.
The state INEC office, however, refused to give information on the amount it would spend on the election.
When contacted, INEC spokesperson, Mrs. Priscilla Imodu-Sule, said, "I am not aware of how much has been earmarked for the conduct of the election."

The Blue Brain Project (BBP) and the Human Brain Project (HBP) are unique projects that overlap in some clear ways. This is not to say that the HBP will be a mere extension of the BBP but rather that the proposed HBP will be a large-scale project offering a solid opportunity to coordinate the work of around 150 international scientific groups (of which BBP will be just one) towards a unifying goal.
What is the HBP?
The HBP is a European Future and Emerging Technologies (FET) Flagship candidate, which means that it is one of six pilot projects that were launched to 'compete' to become full-scale FET Flagship initiatives.
The decision on which two pilot projects will be selected is to be announced in February 2013 by the EU Commission but until then, these pilots remain in the 'proposal' phase i.e. scientists are working on the final proposal for the HBP but the actual project start is subject to the EU decision.
The HBP's main goal is to lay the technical foundations for a new era of ICT-based human brain research – it will catalyze a global effort to integrate knowledge and data from different disciplines to achieve a better understanding of the human brain, novel treatments for brain disease and inspiring new brain-like computing technologies. It is proposed to be a massive ICT-accelerated research project that will be characterized by three research agendas in fields of neuroscience, medical informatics and future computing.
In addition, the HBP has specific goals to create six ICT platforms to carry out research devoted to the goals of the HBP. The scientific public will be able to submit proposals to make use of these platforms. These platforms will take the form of: a neuroinformatics facility, a brain simulation facility (the Blue Brain Project will play an important role in this facility), a high performance computing facility, a medical informatics facility, a neuromorphic computing facility and a neurorobotics facility.
Please see the report available here for a more in depth description of these platforms and the proposed project in general.
And the BBP?
The BBP is a swiss-led project hosted by the Ecole Polytechnique Féderale de Lausanne. It is devoted to creating unifying models and simulations of the rodent neocortical column, and eventually the mammalian brain, through integration of knowledge and data.
Through ever-increasingly detailed models of the mammalian brain (currently, a mesocircuit of rodent neocortical columns), the BBP is making leaps in understanding the multi-level (neuronal, synaptic, molecular etc) organization of the rodent brain. In addition, it is producing research tools to be used by the scientific community - for example, innovative software and models that will be successively released.
See the blog post "Step inside the Blue Brain Project" and here for more information.
Scope and funding and location
The proposed HBP will comprise approximately more than 250 leading scientists representing 24 countries worldwide. The sheer scope of the proposed HBP exceeds that of the BBP many times over. The HBP will be a multi-institutional endeavor while the BBP is essentially a Swiss-led project.
In terms of funding, the HBP's funding will come from the European Commission in concert with contributions from participating states and institutions. The BBP is funded by the Swiss Government.
Both the BBP and the swiss-led part of the HBP will be housed in the still-to-be-built Neuropolis center but for now, the BBP is located in the Quartier d'Innovation Building J in the Ecole Polytechnique Féderale de Lausanne.
It's easy to see how these projects could be confused but as explained above, they are two unique projects. The BBP will contribute work and experience along with approximately 150 other groups internationally to achieve the goals of the HBP.
**** Since the writing of this blog post, the Human Brain Project has since been selected by the EU as a Flagship Initiative and is set to commence officially in October 2013. Further details regarding the HBP can be found on the website humanbrainproject.eu

NORTH COUNTY -- Karen Haynes wears her passion for public higher education in the same manner she wears her clothes -- vibrantly and unabashedly.
It's in her voice, as she talks about how learning should be available to anyone who wants it, the value she places on people, and the importance of reaching out to the community.
On Friday, the day after she was named the third full-time president of Cal State San Marcos, Haynes, 57, spoke at length about her vision for the 14-year-old campus, her dedication to partnerships and diversity, and her belief that an open door and having fun are the keys to success.
It's no coincidence her favorite color is purple.
Haynes says she takes the presidency "very seriously" and the first thing this accomplished author and educator says she will do when she joins the campus on Feb. 1 bears out her convictions.
"I will have arranged to meet with several groups, like the student association, the faculty senate," Haynes said Friday as she prepared for a meeting of the American Association of State College and Universities at the La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad. "I would hope to meet with representatives of the alumni association and several of the advisory council."
"I know how important it is to have the people at the table and providing input, who will be carrying out or be impacted by decisions," Haynes continued. "People have to buy in and believe in things to be successful. I have a record of doing that, and therefore moving a college forward. I spend more time up front, but the payoff is more than worth it in productivity and good will."
Haynes, whose salary hasn't been finalized yet, said she willvisit North County in December and again in January to look for ahouse. President at the University of Houston-Victoria in Texassince 1995, Haynes is replacing Alexander Gonzalez, who was making$205,000 when he left in July for the top post at Cal StateSacramento.
Haynes is leaving a 30-year-old institution with an enrollment of 2,400 students to take the helm at Cal State San Marcos, which enrolls about 7,800 students and just this year made the jump from a commuter to a residential campus.
One of the campus' challenges, Haynes said, is to increase housing and the kind of student population it serves while still providing for "nontraditional" students.
The university is still forging an identity and image in North County, she said. Even the alumni association, which she sees as an important vehicle in helping create the university's identity, is relatively new, with around 10,000 members.
She has taken the University of Houston-Victoria along a similar growth path to that followed by CSUSM, and Victoria's demographics are also similar. The city of 65,000 is near Houston, which has about 2 million residents and the population in Victoria is 50 percent Latino, 40 percent white and 10 percent black.
Haynes said that she looks forward to tapping into her experience as a social worker to help expand programming in health and human services at Cal State San Marcos and that she is "committed" to fund raising at the university.
"I have instituted fund-raising campaigns in both my previous administrative positions and fairly quickly realized that it was in fact easy when you believed in what you were looking for the funds for.
"It's something that I've grown to both enjoy and see as another way that a president is a public relations person for the university."
Haynes also touched on her interest in outreach and said that for public universities to really fulfill their mission, it is imperative that partnerships with the business community take place.
"We need to make sure we have students in the pipeline, but also to make sure those students are prepared for what the community needs," Haynes said.
Liz Branch, who is presently the registrar at University Houston-Victoria but worked with Haynes as the director of continuing education, pointed to several outreach programs that Haynes was pivotal in developing at the university.
One, the Girls' Academy, invites eighth-grade girls to come to campus and meet faculty, women leaders and see the campus.
Another, Letting Education Achieve Dreams, is an effort to encourage minorities and others who have traditionally not sought higher education to do so.
Branch said one of Haynes' "loves" is encouraging minority groups and female students toward higher education.
One of Haynes' challenges, Branch said, was being a female in a position normally held by males.
"She dealt with it very capably and with good presence of mind," she said, "but I think she recognized she was in the minority and worked hard to establish herself as a person who thinks deeply and understands higher education and not as a person who happened to be a female."
Mary Natividad, deal of the school of education at Houston-Victoria, described Haynes as "very stylish and very impeccably dressed at all times."
"It's kind of a signature with her," Natividad said.
Natividad said Haynes is also very sincere. "What you saw (when she visited the campus) is who Karen is. She's open, energetic, and friendly. And then there's this whole other side. She's a very bright lady, she's very intelligent and she knows the business of being president."
Natividad described Haynes as paying great attention to detail.
"Things don't get lost with her," Natividad said. "She listens carefully and frequently takes notes so things don't get waylaid."
Said Branch, "we'll miss her."
Haynes and her husband plan to relocate to the area in January. They have three grown children.

The Henhouse Prowlers
The Abbey Pub
3420 W. Grace St
Chicago, IL, 60618
Doors 9:00 PM / Show 10:00 PM
This event is 21 and over
After eight years of hard work and a relentless tour schedule, Chicago's The Henhouse Prowlers have gained a growing reputation for their highly original, tradition-inspired bluegrass built around intricate harmonies and electrifying stage energy.
In 2010, while balancing time on the road and in the studio in Colorado, the Prowlers placed third in the prestigious Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition and took top honors in the RockyGrass Band Competition. During this time, the band entered the studio with visionary producer and dobro player extraordinaire, Sally Van Meter, completing its third album.
The product, thirteen-track "Verses, Chapters and Rhymes," features original tales of life's trials and tribulations laid over vocal and instrumental work as refined as it is danceable. With the guidance and vision of Sally's truly professional production work, "Verses" offers a mature statement from Chicago's hardest working bluegrass band that is as clean, crisp and deliberate as it is hard-driving and loaded with the raw passion and energy the boys have made their trademark.

Having just made its U.S. debut at L.A.'s Ahmanson Theatre in January, Backbeat is the newest production hailing straight from London that tells the story of the Fab Four when they were originally a Fab Five.
As a special treat for Los Angeleno fans, the cast of Backbeat will be appearing at Hollywood's Amoeba Music for a free in-store performance and CD signing of the play's Original Cast Recording on February 4 at 7 p.m.
The cast will perform select songs from the play's soundtrack Backbeat: Original Cast Recording,, which features the music that both inspired The Beatles and songs created from the earliest Lennon-McCartney collaborations with a 20 song track list including "Johnny Be Goode," "P.S. I Love You," and "Love Me Do."
This hit production tells the story of The Beatles getting their start in small clubs in Hamburg, Germany during the early '60s. It was during this time when the Fab Four was actually five with members John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Pete Best and Stuart Sutcliffe.
The play follows the five London lads to the Hamburg music scene where the group played several residencies at small clubs like The Kaiserkeller and Star Club. It was at these performances that the group met German photographer Astrid Kirchherr, who took some of the memorable photos of the quintet and later became engaged to Sutcliffe.
Raved by critics as being a "back-story to cherish," Backbeat takes a dynamic look at the evolution of The Beatles from struggling artists to one of rock music's most influential groups in history.
Backbeat runs at the Ahmanson Theatre until March 1. For tickets and show times, visit www.centertheatregroup.org.

OAKLAND — Aisia Robertson scored 13 of her 18 points in the first half on Friday to help lead the Bishop O'Dowd High girls basketball team to a 49-44 win over visiting Berkeley on Friday to clinch the West Alameda County Conference-Foothill Division title.
Daniella Williams added 14 points and Asha Thomas 12 as the Dragons struggled through a frustrating second half to prevail.
"We couldn't find the basket; this was one of the games when I tell the girls that defense is going to win the game," Dragons coach Malik McCord said.
For O'Dowd (21-4, 8-0 WACC-Foothill), the win was its second against the Yellowjackets this season, having won in Berkeley 56-47 on Jan. 17.
For the rematch, the teams played evenly in the first half, with the Dragons going into halftime with a 31-29 lead.
O'Dowd started the second half cold. But Berkeley (16-7, 5-2) struggled too, as shot after shot either clanked off the rim or bounced off the glass for both teams.
Still, the Yellowjackets made a games of it, as the score was tied 35-35 through three quarters.
Berkeley senior Desire Finnie led all scorers with 23 points. Xinavane Forman added 11 for the Yellowjackets.
Bishop O'Dowd will look to remain sharp when it closes its regular season next week in a home game with Hayward on Tuesday and an away game with Castro Valley on Friday.
Berkeley closes its regular season next week with home games against Castro Valley and Piedmont.

Things I want to say, today:
1. Happy Thursday, people.
[Thursdays have been my favorite day of the week for years, now. The reasons? A) Thursdays are Greys days. B) It's the last day of the work week before things get "casual," bringing a sweet anticipation to the air. C) Yeah. That's really it.]
2. Happy half-birthday, Nicholas. Happy Birthday in July. [umm: oops. retraction.]
[I like to celebrate half birthdays. My friends, and former roommates, Kyle and Ashley and I took an impromptu trip to Galveston Beach at about 10:30 PM on my 24 1/2 birthday. It was gorgeous and full of wishing.]
[The first real one-on-one conversation I remember having with Nicholas, he shared a story about his Mother and him celebrating his 'birthday in July' (inspired by Christmas in July). The story of tradition and the way in which he spoke about his Mom warmed my heart in an exciting way. This may have been the moment I started to form a little crush on Nicholas, now that I think about it.]
3. Be Kind; it is easy.
[The past few years I've tried to truly focus on making my daily actions be acts of kindness. I want kindness to be a priority for me. I am not perfect in kindness, and I need to remind myself – DAILY – to focus my heart in the direction of kind. I want to share kindness with the world. I want to embrace self-kindness, and kindness I receive from others. One of the best things about kindness, in my opinion, is that kindness doesn't have to be difficult. Kindness can be quite easy. Want proof? Check out my suggestions on BranAppetit: 5 Little 5-Minute-or-Less Activities You Can Do to Spread Kindness.]
[ Because the world needs more hugs and kisses.]

Editorial: State Supreme Court should not allow sealing of court records
The state Supreme Court should recognize proposed new rules governing sealing of court records for what they are: radical expansion of court secrecy.
Seattle Times Editorial
THE Washington state Supreme Court has been asked to consider a radical change in rules governing secrecy of court records. If justices sign off on this proposal, records of criminal proceedings might vanish from public view without a trace, and corporations could more easily sweep away a paper trail of malfeasance.
To say it's a bad idea is a gross understatement.
At issue is General Rule 15, which governs the sealing of court records. The changes, proposed by a judicial subcommittee, are described as an update to reflect recent Supreme Court rulings, but they are much more than that.
Attorney Eric Stahl, who submitted comments for the Washington Coalition for Open Government and two newspaper groups, described the proposal as "an overreaching attempt to rewrite" long-established rules.
The proposal erodes Article 1, Section 10 of the state Constitution, which mandates that "justice in all cases shall be administered openly ..."
Proposed changes could ease the sealing of records obtained during the investigative phase of litigation, when secrets are uncovered. People with an interest in "nondisclosure" are invited to intervene.
Watering down these rules virtually ensures that moneyed interests would seek to tuck embarrassing facts in sealed files. Read the 2006 Seattle Times series "Your Courts, Their Secrets" documenting wholesale sealing of cases involving medical malpractice, incompetence by police, sexual abuse of minors and financial exploitation of the elderly.
Also being considered is an unprecedented expansion of secrecy in criminal cases. Criminal charges that do not end in a conviction would be virtually wiped clean from court indexes — a "disappearing docket," as one commenter said.
That means that an acquittal — think O.J. Simpson's murder trial — would be treated like a gubernatorial pardon, or the vacation of a conviction after a felon showed years of rehabilitation and clean behavior. The Washington Association of Prosecuting Attorneys, in comments submitted to the court, calls this "likely unconstitutional."
The state Supreme Court should recognize proposed changes to GR 15 as a radical rewrite of court secrecy. At the very least, the court should call a public hearing. Better, it should summarily reject the proposed changes.
If it does not, citizens should take note of how the court votes. Four justices are up for election this fall. Are they for open courts, or are they for more secrecy?

No one is crying either, we were debating the thread topic when you jumped in and quoted me. There is no reason manny did it except for the advantage, same as any other fighter.
You are somehow trying to make the CW seem noble or a non factor because you like Manny.
Most boxing fans will tell ya, that Pac would beat Cotto regardless of the CW, yet you want to go on about we will never know for sure comments like you speak for the majority or something.
Pac shouldnt have asked for the CW, but most fair people will see that it was only 2lbs. Floyd bloated JMM up 2 divisions and came in over the weight limit. I dont care this thread is about Pac being fair. Floyd clearly was less fair than Pac so is more relevant for discussion. Cotto agreed to fight Pac at a CW, JMm didnt account for Floyd coming over the limit.
I said dont play games with me, you dont want to do that.

Clay: New Extended Excerpt
An exclusive extended excerpt from Chapters 1-3 of the the fourth installment in the Armed and Dangerous series, Clay (available April 12, 2011), by Cheyenne McCray
Author's Note: Clay: Armed & Dangerous has its foundations in a novel, Wildcat, I wrote several years ago for a small e-publisher. If you read that short novel, you will find this endeavor different. This novel is twice as long as the original book and richer with more action, adventure, and mystery.
Clay is by far the most erotic of all of the Armed & Dangerous books. Be sure and handle with oven mitts!
Chapter 1
Rylie Thorn pulled at her earlobe as she guided her battered ranch pickup into the parking lot of the Cochise County Sheriff's Department. The stupid wreck bucked and hiccupped like it wanted to die, then steam billowed out from under its hood as she slammed on its bad brakes and threw it into park. The poor old work vehicle wasn't meant for driving distances, but it wasn't like she had a whole lot of choices.
None, in fact.
Rylie wished she could spit smoke like the wreck. Just driving the piece of shit was an unwelcome flashback to childhood. They had struggled so much. And her mom, the doormat . . . She shook her head.
Then and now. Big difference. Life wasn't easy, but it was nothing like her early years. Rylie knew things would get better soon, and she'd damned sure never be anybody's doormat.
She used an old rag in the seat to wipe sweat off her forehead. Air-conditioning? Of course, the beat-up hunk of junk didn't have any air. She jerked the keys out of the wreck's ignition and slammed the door as she got out. She'd had it up to here with the damn truck thefts, and she was determined to give the new hotshot sheriff a piece of her mind.
Rylie had been pissed about Skylar MacKenna's cattle being stolen last year, and now trucks were going missing all along the border. The Thorn Ranch had been ripped off. Things had definitely gotten personal.
She marched across the parking lot to the sheriff's office, her boot heels clattering against the pavement and her jeans skirt bouncing against the back of her knees. She had on short sleeves, and it was past hot already. Spring never could hold off summer in Douglas. Even though it was only April, the second the night's chill burned away in the morning, she started to sweat. Being furious didn't help that situation one bit.
She shoved the glass doors open and stomped into the reception area. A busty brunette raised a sculpted eyebrow, her scarlet lips set in a what-the-hell-do-you-want smile. "May I help you?" "I'd like to see Sheriff Wayland." Rylie propped her hands on her slim jean-clad hips. "Now." "I don't think he's available." Boob Queen gave a don't-you-wishhe-was-available sniff as she picked up the phone. "Let me check."
Her temper escalating beyond eruption level, Rylie glanced past the reception area. She looked into a room that was empty save for desks sporting computers and equipment . . . and that sorry excuse for a deputy, Hazard Quinn. Young, dark-haired, too good-looking for his own good—Quinn was more country-music-star-to-be than skilled law enforcement—at least in his own mind.
Without so much as a by-your-leave, Rylie headed straight for Quinn. She set her gaze on stun with shoot-to-kill as an alternative if the deputy didn't give her satisfaction.
"You can't—" Miss Mega-Tits spouted behind Rylie.
"I need a word with you." Rylie strode right up to Quinn, propped her hands on her hips, and frowned up at him. At just fi ve feet four, she only came to the deputy's shoulder— but her glare was enough to cut down a man three times her size. And Rylie knew how to wield her icy gaze like a sword.
Quinn's Adam's apple bobbed and he diverted his eyes, waving off Boob Queen, then turning his attention back to Rylie. "What do you need, Ms. Thorn?"
"I'll tell you what I need." Rylie poked one finger at his deputy's star, punctuating each word with a jab at the metal. "I need my trucks back. I lost five last night. Five. At the same time! Four of the ranch hands' vehicles, and my personal truck, too. I need you guys to get off your asses and figure out who the hell is stealing everybody's rides."
Quinn stepped back. "We're working on it. It's a borderwide problem."
"Don't give me that crap." Rylie advanced on the deputy as he retreated. "Get me the sheriff. Now."
"What can I do for you?" A deep rumbling voice startled Rylie out of her tirade and sent shivers down her spine.
She whipped her head to the side and her gaze locked with the most amazing crystalline green eyes—and the hottest man she'd ever seen. Her entire body shivered, every coherent thought fl eeing her mind as she got lost in the pull of those magnetic eyes.
He had his hip and shoulder propped against the doorway of an office, his thumbs hooked in the pockets of his snug Wrangler jeans, and a copper sheriff's star on his shirt. The man raised one hand to push up the brim of his tan felt Stetson as he studied her. His sable mustache twitched as he smiled.
Oh. My. God. For the first time in her life, Rylie Thorn was speechless.
Sheriff Clay Wayland studied the little wildcat who'd stormed into his office and ripped Deputy Quinn a new one. Damn she'd been cute as she'd spouted off at Quinn. Clay had enjoyed watching the flush in her fair cheeks, how her short blond hair shimmered as she spoke, and the way that sprinkling of freckles made her look so damn adorable.
He'd almost hated to interrupt her. And now . . . well, hell. The desire that sparked in those chocolate-brown eyes charged up his own libido. Something in his gut told him this was a woman worth getting to know—in every way a man could know a woman.
But wait, there's more! To read the full excerpt from Chapters 1-3 of Clay by Cheyenne McCray, please register or log in.

This was intended specifically for Halloween, so because of that I gave no shits to how well it was constructed. So the top is a little baggy and the gloves are complete shit. But for some reason, I decided to wear it at Katsucon and NC comic con haha.
Shield is bought and belt was something I had in my drawer. Everything else is sewn. First time learning how to sew with stretchy material and that was awesome. By awesome I mean not.
There IS a cowl attached directly to the top. I just don't wear it because it interferes with the wig.

ON BOARD PM'S SPECIAL AIRCRAFT: Indicating he was ready to play any role in the Congress after the 2014 general elections, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said on Saturday he would be "very happy" to work under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi.
Mr Singh also maintained that Mr Gandhi, the Congress vice-president, would be an "ideal choice" for the premier's post after the next Lok Sabha polls.
"I have always maintained that Rahul Gandhi would be an ideal choice for the PM post after 2014 elections. I will be very happy to work in the Congress under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi," the prime minister told reporters accompanying him on board the special Air India aircraft on his way home after attending the G20 summit in the Russian city of St Petersburg.
Mr Singh also did not rule out any alliances with erstwhile ally Trinamool Congress in the future, saying in politics there were no permanent enemies and permanent friends. He was asked whether the Congress would seek an alliance with Trinamool for the upcoming parliamentary elections.
"In politics, there are no permanent enemies and permanent friends. And in many ways, a week in politics is sometimes an unusually long period of time," he said, adding, "So, I don't rule out, for example, alliances."
Noting that Mamata Banerjee was a very respectable member of the Congress party at one time, the prime minister said the Congress was also very happy to have her in the UPA government.
Mr Singh said the Congress would very much like like-minded, secular-minded persons to work again to give the country's polity a thrust in favour of secular elements.

Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon 3rd November 2012 Written Update
Iss Pyaar Ko Kya Naam Doon 3rd November 2012 Written Update by DesiTVBox.com
Summary – Short Update:
-Aarav apologizes to Sheetal for what he did and Sheetal also forgives him.
-There is Karva-Chauth fast tomorrow and all Raizada bahus (Khushi, Payal, Manorama mami) keep fast for their husband's longer age.
-Nk also keeps fast with them so he gets a good wife (indirectly Sheetal).
-Sheetal also indirectly does all the rituals that all Raizada bahus did for Karva-Chauth.
-Sheetal avoids eating any food as well, which makes Khushi think that Sheetal is fasting as well. And the person for whom she is having this Karva-Chauth fast is in this house only as this fast can only be broke after seeing husband's face.
-While Khushi is doing this fast, Arnav continuously teases her by talking about food or bringing food in front of her eyes.
-Arnav says that he doesn't believe in all this.
-In the evening, when everyone is waiting for moon to come out and when Khushi goes to the pool side to check if moon came out or no, Khushi and Arnav get some time to spend alone. Arnav doesn't miss this opportunity to tease her either.
-Finally Khushi gets furious and tells him, you may not be believing in this, but I do and I am keeping this Karva-Chauth for your longer age so I can spend more time with you.
-Arnav finally understands her point of view, and there is a romantic scene between the two. They dance on a song and episode ends with both smiling.
Detailed Update with Pictures:
Episode starts with Aarav calling to Sheetal and she goes in. Khushi tells everyone else that Sheetal will manage alone. Aakash agrees and says, we should leave her alone for some time. Everyone agrees. Sheetal goes in Aarav's room. He apologizes to her. Sheetal says to him, what will happen by saying sorry? Why don't you listen to me? Why did you go there? What if anything happened to you? Aarav says, I want to meet dad. Sheetal says, even I want you to meet your dad, but everything doesn't happen the way we want. Aarav says, not even once? Sheetal says, I am with you na.. what else you want? Aarav says, yea and they hug. Khushi is watching them and gets emotional.
Sheetal comes to the living room where whole Raizada family has gathered. She tells everyone, Aarav is fine now. Arnav apologizes to Sheetal. She says to him, you don't need to apologize and I will take care from next time. Manorama reminds everyone, tomorrow is Karva-Chauth. Sheetal gets excited and says, even I forgot. She then goes somewhere. Khushi explains Nk, it's one of the most important days for a wife. Arnav says, yea right.. and leaves from there. Nk asks what happened to him? Khushi says, he doesn't believe in this day. Anjali gets lost in some thoughts. Khushi sees her and holds her hand. Anjali says, yes and it's first Karva-Chauth of my two bhabhis. Payal says, I will definitely keep this fast, am not sure about Khushi. Khushi says, why not? I will also keep this fast. She then prays God to help her in keeping this fast.
All bahus are getting mehendi done in their hands. Anjali is putting mehendi on Khushi's hand. Nk is putting mehendi on Manorama mami's hand. Sheetal comes there and asks, wow can I put mehendi too? Mami says, you kept fast too? Sheetal says, no I just like mehendi. Nani then puts mehendi in Sheetal's hand. Khushi gets lost in thoughts and looks at Sheetal. Khushi's mehendi is done and she's going upstair where she sees Aarav. She tells him, you should be resting.. what are you doing here? Aarav says, I am fine and why everyone is making noise? Khushi says, it's Karva-Chauth tomorrow so all bahus are getting mehendi done in their hands. Aarav says, oh yes.. it's the festival when mumma fasts. Aarav now goes to Sheetal. Khushi is in her room and eating one last time before midnight like she has never seen food before. She is talking to herself while eating. She says, on one side Sheetal says she is not keeping this fast, and on the other side Aarav says, she keeps this fast. And if she does this fast, then for who? Arnav comes there and asks her what's going on? Khushi says, I am eating as much as I can until midnight, so I don't remember about all this tomorrow. read full update with pictures only at Arnav says, okay. And then he tries to eat too, but Khushi tells him, don't touch this food.. it's for me. Arnav tells her, who told you to do all this? Khushi says, why not? All wives keep this fast for their husbands long life. Arnav says, I don't believe in all this. Khushi says, but I do believe and she tells him to learn something from Salman Khan who keeps fast for her wives in all his movies. Arnav asks, so you want me to fast? Khushi says, no.. else you will get sick. Arnav tells her, you can't keep this fast. Khushi says, you don't know me properly yet.. once I commit then … and then some sounds come from her stomach. Arnav laughs and challenges her that she can't fast. Khushi asks, what kind of husband you are? Arnav says, if I win then no fasting from next time. Khushi agrees.
All ladies are cooking in kitchen where Nani tells them, why are you helping me? I should be preparing all this alone for all my bahus. Khushi says, we are helping so all food get prepared faster. Anjali says, it is so much fun.. wake up early .. prepare food like this and eat in morning.. and then don't eat anything whole day. She then tells everyone not to worry.. at least no one is betraying now.. and she is very hapy now. In the background, mami is snoring. She opens her eyes and asks if food is ready or no. Nk also wakes up early to encourage all bahus. Nani gives some gifts to bahus and they do other rituals. Khushi tells everyone to eat as much as they can because sometimes moon take forever to show up. All these remind Nani of her husband. Khushi says, and my husband.. snoring and sleeping there. Sheetal comes there now and she wows seeing Kheer. She says, it's my favorite desert.. can I eat? Anjali invites Sheetal. Sheetal sits down beside Nani who feeds her Kheer. This reminds Khushi how Nani said that it's ritual that sasuma feeds her bahu first. Khushi says, yesterday night mehendi and now kheer.. isn't it like she's keeping this fast? and if she is.. then for who?
Khushi is dreaming.. Arnav breaking fast of Sheetal and Arnav says, awesome-threesome. When Arnav is about to give a hug to Sheetal.. Khushi says to Sheetal, you witch. Khushi gets up all of a sudden. She says to herself, now she started coming in my dreams too. She wonders how she will do this fast. She says, husbands should fast too. She says, it's okay.. I will do it. I won't think about gol gappe, jalebis.. she says to herself, you will have to do this.. else Arnav will win. She worries how the day will pass.. she has to kpep this fast and on top of that find out what's going on with Sheetal.
She comes downstairs where everyone is at dining table. Arnav is eating his breakfast. Khushi asks Arnav, will you eat all this? Arnav says, so? I don't have any fast. Manorama gets excited seeing all the food. She says, should I break my fast? Khushi also has water in her mouth and wants to eat. Mamiji somehow controls herself and leaves from there. Nk is not eating anything either. He says, how much you will torture me? And then he says, I mean Khushi ji. Nk sees Sheetal coming there, and says, you have to do so much for you love. When Sheetal comes there, he says, I also kept this fast so I get a good wife. Anjali asks him, what kind of wife do you want? Nk looks at Sheetal and says, I want a wife that is modern from outside, but traditional from inside, an independent, etc.. and the one who loves playing basketball. Anjali says, basketball? Isn't it a strange demand? Nk says, someone with whom you get happy when talking. Khushi and Nk ask Sheetal to have breakfast too, but Sheetal says, I don't eat such oily food in the morning. She leaves from there. Anjali asks Arnav to eat another food saying it's delicious. Khushi closes her eyes and says to Anjali, you both brother and sister are alike. She leaves from there. Nk follows her. Anjali and Arnav laugh. Anjali says to Arnav, it was so much fun.. but why are we doing this with Khushi? Arnav says, you know I don't believe in all this. We can't decide how much a person can live doing all this.. fasting and stuff.
Khushi is talking with herself and says, I know he is doing all this purposely. But I won't give up. Mami also says, I won't give up. They two sit down together on a side where no one can bother them. But Arnav comes there with a bowl in his hand. He asks Khushi to make aalu-ke-pakode for him. Khushi has no choice.. she goes to the kitchen. Arnav is in the kitchen as well.. Khushi tells him, I will tell Hariprasad to make them. Arnav says, no.. I want the ones made by my wife.. no one makes them like her. Arnav slowly slowly says the recipe and how Khushi makes them so khushi gets excited. In end he says, and then me and you eat them together. Khushi gets excited and says, I will make them right now. After pakores are ready.. Khushi says, let me taste one. And then she realizes that she is doing a fast. She asks Arnav, why are you doing this with me? She gives them to Arnav, but he says.. I don't want them now. He leaves. Khushi is looking at the pakores. Arnav comes back and tells her, no one is watching.. you can have one. He leaves. Khushi controls herself and doesn't eat.
Arnav is sitting outside with his family. Khushi comes there with pakores and says, I specially made for Arnav. She then says how spicy they are and stuff. Nk and Manorama tell her, we were with you in the morning and now how can you do this with us? Khushi asks Arnav to eat but he says, no way..they are so oily. He says, give them to Sheetal… she is our guest. He leaves. Khushi is curious to know if Sheetal eats them or no. Sheetal makes excuses that Aarav has homework. But everyone forces her so she takes a plate and says, I will eat in my room while helping Aarav with his homework. Khushi also goes somehwere. Nk says, don't know when this moon will come out. Nani says, there's still time.
Khushi is wondering if Sheetal would have eaten those pakores or no. Aarav doesn't like them, just like Arnav, so he won't eat them. She then says, it wouldn't be difficult to find out. She goes to Sheetal's room and says, I just came to see what work needs to be done for diwali. She's then going around the room to search for the empty plate. She finally sees the empty plate below bed and has a sigh of relief. She leaves from there happily. She goes outside and sees Hariprasad. He says to her, your pakores were awesome. Khushi says, what? You ate those pakores? Hariprashad says that Sheetal gave them to him as she didn't want to eat them. Khushi says to herself, that means Sheetal kept this fast. And why is she hiding? It can only mean one thing.. the person who she kept fast for.. is in this house only.
It's evening now. All guests are in and everyone is waiting for moon to come out. Nani introduces Sheetal to the guests. One of the guests asks Sheetal, what does your husband do? Sheetal makes excuse that she has to see Aarav and leaves from there. Khushi goes to the pool side to see if moon came out. Arnav is on the phone with someone there, but Khushi doesn't see him yet. Khushi sees food in front of her eyes and gets excited. Arnav brings food in front of her and asks her to eat.. he says, no one is watching. Khushi gets furious and says, what do you think.. I am keeping this fast just for show off? All this seem a joke to you right? Yes, I agree that I am hungry and I am thinking about food over and over.. but forgive me.. all this might be joke for you.. not for me. I want to keep this fast. Arnav says, okay I am sorry. Khushi continues, I want to stay happy with you for forever.. and I believe that forever will get longer by keeping this fast.. can't you understand? Arnav gives her a hug and says, I am sorry. Can I do something to make you feel better? Khushi points at the sky and asking to bring moon indirectly. Arnav turns her around and asks her to look into the water. Khushi sees her own face and smiles.
A song plays in background. Arnav kisses Khushi's hand. And then they dance. Arnav carries her and is about to kiss her. But Khushi gets shy and just hugs him. She says to him, it's a very special day for me today. Arnav asks, why special? Khushi says, because it's my first Karva-Chauth vrat today and it is for your longer age. And I will keep it every year. Arnav asks her, can all this happen just with one fasting? Khushi says, I believe in it so.
Khushi is then opening something and it goes into her eyes. Arnav blows into her eyes to take that out. He then snatches pooja's thaal from her. Khushi asks him to return it to her, but he doesn't and he again tries to kiss her. But Khushi smartly takes it back from him. She tries to run away but her earing gets stuck into Arnav's shirt's button which reminds her of a similar incident that happened before. Arnav then points at the sky signaling moon is out, but it hasn't. Khushi then runs away from there and is about to fall down. Arnav quickly catches her and says, I will keep taking care for forever.
Episode ends with Arnav and Khushi's smiling faces.
Precap: Moon is out and Sheetal looks at the moon first. She then shouts, Arnav so he looks at her. She quickly looks back to him through her dupatta and breaks her fast after looking at his face. Khushi notices all that.
