A British Columbia woman and her brother have been arrested in connection with the decade-old murder of her daughter, who had married a man of whom her family did not approve.
On Thursday, the Supreme Court of British Columbia issued arrest warrants for Malkit Kaur Sidhu, 63, and Surjit Singh Badesha, 67, both residents of the Vancouver suburb of Maple Ridge. On Friday, police took the pair into custody. They face extradition to India to stand trial.
Jaswinder (Jassi) Kaur Sidhu, Ms. Sidhu's then-25-year-old daughter, was kidnapped and murdered in the Indian state of Punjab on June 8, 2000, her body left in a ditch. Her husband, Sukwinder (Mithu) Singh Sidhu, was badly hurt.
The younger Ms. Sidhu, who had worked as a beautician in Maple Ridge, met her husband, a rickshaw driver, during a trip to India.
Seven people were convicted in India for their parts in the murder. Indian police uncovered evidence that Ms. Sidhu's family had ordered the killing from Canada and contacted the RCMP, the force said in a statement.
For 11 years, the RCMP worked with authorities in the Punjab to investigate the case and start extradition proceedings.

The issue of prisoner votes has turned into a question of trust between David Cameron and his backbenchers. Most Tory MPs well remember that the Prime Minister's initial intention was to comply with the Strasbourg court's ruling; he only changed his mind after seeing how strong feelings were on the issue on the Tory benches and in the country.
For this reason, Cameron needs to scotch all this talk of a draft bill on votes for at least some prisoners at PMQs today. If he doesn't, he'll have just as large a rebellion on his hands as he did last time. The issue will also drive a further wedge between Cameron and his backbenchers.
Dominic Grieve, the attorney general and a passionate believer in both the European Convention on Human Rights and the European Court of Human Rights, has—in his usual lawyerly fashion—been warning about the damage that will be done to the United Kingdom's international reputation if this country doesn't comply with the Court. But this is an issue of who governs Britain and Cameron would be well advised to show that, in this case, he does.

Well, it's all in the eye of the beholder. To me, he's a sex object (and a lovely one too!), while Fabio is not. He's charming, but I could care less to see Fabio's flabby mid-section.

"Sex object"?? Possibly. I never liked Jeff's wink during the show's opening credits and from the first time I saw it I knew he'd be portrayed as the sexy dude of the cast. Let's face it, he's not too hard on the eyes but I hate the way reality shows characterize/pigeon hole their cast members.
That said, I appreciated Jeff's comments in the interview. He was honest and probably correct in his assumptions about everything and I don't think he burned any bridges behind him by revealing his views.
Although I love Tom I think that at this point in the competition he already had chosen his favorite (Stefan). He thought Jeff was much more of a threat to Stefan than Fabio so he pushed to get rid of him while he had the chance. JMO
It'll be interesting to see what happens.
Hmm...I hadn't thought about it from that angle, but that does seem very possible...Originally Posted by tinderbox;3296581;
They're BOTH sex objects. It was awful that the judges had to pick between our two sex objects for this season. I found the whole experience traumatic.Originally Posted by hutchlover;3296187;
Now that's the fun-luvin' attitude a show like this should provoke! I, too, think both Richard and Fabio are pretty steamy, but the attraction came to me differently for each of them.Originally Posted by Mags225;3297237;
Fabio's charm was immediate. His in-your-face friendliness, sexy accent, and good-humor was captivating from the get-go. As time went on, however, it got a bit stale for me.
Richard, on the other hand, didn't do it for me at the beginning. I appreciated the fact that he is good looking, but he was so quiet that he struck me as kind of boring. However, as time went on, it was clear to me that there is more going on with him than he lets on. I think he is just a very intense person who processes things internally. He's like my son.....I have to feel for his pulse to make sure he's still with us most of the time, but the kid is always listening, thinking, and processing. Same with Richard.
If I could choose who to spend time with, it would be Richard because I think he'd be much more interesting to talk to. I think we've already seen the depths of Fabio, but we have only scraped the surface with Richard.
On a related note....I think Richard and Arianne seemed to connect a bit. They both had maturity and moral standards about how to handle themselves in the intense Top Chef environment. I was/am impressed by those two a great deal.
Richard took his loss sooo hard. Too hard, I think. For me it was clear he shined as a chef, but alas. I think Carla hit it on the nose....he has a hard time reigning in all that he wants to do. I don't think he has anything to be ashamed of....unlike the guy who made smores (ok and Arianne making deviled eggs; I'm sure she regrets that one).

You mean Jeff, though, right? Not Richard? Richard WAS the guy who did the smores.Originally Posted by Jexter;3297308;
Jeff is prettier, but Fabio is more charming and has the cuter personality. I think that is the reason they let Jeff go and kept Fabio. It seemed to me that Jeff's dish was not as off-putting as Fabio's, but Fabio is better TV so he got to stay. Besides, from what I read on another site, Jeff was ready to leave. He missed his wife.Originally Posted by Mags225;3297237;
Sex object? This guy had a perpetual sour look on his face and a grumpy personality to boot. Nothing sexy about it.
Jeff, sex object? Nooooo, but he is very good looking. Fabio, no way.
Love 'em both, but Jeff is doing it for me more than Fabio.

If you're the sort of rock-dweller who has remained blissfully clueless about the Harry Potter phenomenon, but now you're feeling left out and want to catch up, you could do no better than to see Potted Potter.
This cheerfully daft U.K. import, now at the Panasonic Theatre, is a crash course in all things Harry, from Quidditch to Horcruxes to the ambiguous nature of Severus Snape. And if that last sentence was just gibberish to you, never fear – by the end of this show you'll have the mysteries of the Potterverse unlocked for you, courtesy of a couple of lovably loopy guides named Dan and Jeff.
These are actor-writers Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner, who have set themselves the mad task of acting out all seven of J.K. Rowling's novels in just 70 minutes. Of the two, Jeff's the sober-sided HP expert. Dan's the silly nit whose grasp of the books is a tad slippery. He seems to have confused them with The Chronicles of Narnia – hence the wooden wardrobe he's provided as a set piece at centre stage. As for his promised replica of Hogwarts, Harry's alma mater, in his confusion he's instead come up with a pair of warthogs.
No matter. The two plunge into the canon with verve, short, peevish Jeff playing the titular boy wizard and lanky, grinning Dan taking on all the other 300 characters in the books – give or take a few. Silly hats and sillier accents are the order of day, as well as cheap props. Lord Voldemort's deadly pet serpent Nagini is represented by a toy snake. Dobby the house-elf is a hand puppet. Dan assures us there will be a really spectacular dragon for the fourth book, Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. There had better be – he's blown the show's budget on it.
Like Rowling's books, this is a show for all ages – though it favours the preteens. (Note that Hogwarts/warthogs joke.) Jeff and Dan fast-forward through the books like a couple of high-energy kids acting them out in the backyard. They spray one another with Silly String and the audience with a Super Soaker – yes, we're pulled into the action, too. One of the highlights has Dan supervising the entire auditorium in a Quidditch match – minus the flying broomsticks, of course.
But there are funny bits aimed just at the older crowd. Jeff uses a PowerPoint presentation to illustrate the recurring template Rowling uses in writing her books. (Basically, any character who first appears to be bad will likely turn out to be good – and vice versa..) And they take a few digs at the larger ambitions of the later novels. That fat door-stopper of a finale, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, is pithily summed up as being about "camping and death." As for the two-part movie version, "part one was about camping and part two was about death." (Not actually an inaccurate assessment, when you think about it.)
It's all affectionate joshing, of course. Clarkson and Turner's show originated as a five-minute skit to entertain queuing book-buyers when the sixth novel, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, was released in 2005. In its expanded form, Potted Potter has become a little phenomenon itself, playing the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and London's West End to acclaim as well as touring internationally. This Toronto engagement is its North American debut.
If it has an obvious model, it's an earlier British import, the Reduced Shakespeare Company's 1980s hit The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). In that much-produced spoof, three actors whip through the Bard's oeuvre at warp speed. Its hysterical finale has them performing all of Hamlet in less than a minute.
The Potted Potter lads, under Richard Hurst's swift but seldom frenzied direction, take their time in comparison. Occasionally they could make better use of it. Rowling's eccentric wizards are ripe for parody, especially as incarnated in the films, but apart from Dan's Ralph Fiennes-ish Voldemort, they settle for the quickest of quick sketches.
While it's fun family entertainment, Potted Potter doesn't really give a sense of why so many people are wild about Harry. But if you've been in the dark, you will come away finally knowing what it is they're so wild about.
Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience
- Written and performed by Daniel Clarkson and Jefferson Turner
- Directed by Richard Hurst
- Produced by Starvox Entertainment and Potted Productions
- At the Panasonic Theatre in Toronto
Potted Potter: The Unauthorized Harry Experience runs until March 25.

Construction of the Cedar Rapids and Iowa City Railway, originally known as the "Interurban," began in 1903.
Formally established under the name Iowa Railway & Light Company, the little railroad eventually became known and nationally recognized as CRANDIC, representing the communities it served: Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
The CRANDIC's original design was to be a high-speed 27-mile-long interurban rail system connecting the metropolitan areas of Cedar Rapids and Iowa City.
On August 10, 1903, a special election was held to determine if a franchise should be given to the CRANDIC for passenger train service. In total, 38 votes were cast: 35 for and three against.
Area farmers were in favor of the action, as it would provide a means to haul produce, freight and milk, as well as passengers.
The Iowa Railway and Light Company was the brainchild of Isaac Smith (left) and
Track construction began in the summer of 1903. With mules, slip scoops

I'm writing this post after being offline from XDA for quite a long while, so keep it cool when answering since my knowledge of what I'm talking about is very limited by now. I have an Xperia Z with eXistenZ 5.0 installed, Build number 10.4.B.0.569, which is a JB Rom and I'd like to try out some new roms, firmwares, recoveries and so on..
What I am interested in knowing is why does my recovery mod disappear, this has happened a few times, and also can I choose exactly the kernel that I want for any rom or does some roms only support special kernels? And what about the recovery mods? Are they depending on kernel as well? How do I update to a newer kernel from 10.4.B.0.569?
First of, I have unlocked my bootloader a very long time ago and I haven't gone back to Stock since then and I am not planning to do so. However to start updating my Xperia what should be done? I have already backed up my current rom with Titanium Backup.
For some reason I can't access recovery mode when powering on and pressing volume down, but I know for a fact that it's pretty easy to install a recovery again.
It would be very much appreciated if you would explain what should be done and why.
Looking forward to hearing from you..!

I started out this month's To-Do list post by saying "the hardest thing about these monthly To-Do posts is narrowing down my list to a size that can be accomplished in one month." Well. . .I did not narrow the list down enough this time.
- Write 8 blog posts (no including "On this date" posts) – I still have FGS notes to write up, so those are my priority. I actually wrote 12 posts, but none were from my FGS notes.
- Process 5 headstone photos from Chatsworth Heights Cemetery (this includes entering data into RootsMagic, (possibly) writing "Tombstone Tuesday" posts, and adding the photos to TNG). 6 completed.
- Census project: Analyze two 1930 census records – one for my paternal grandmother and one for my maternal grandfather. I was overly ambitious here. Transcribing census records for the surrounding 50 households of an ancestor, plus all other households with the same surname, is taking much more time than I had anticipated. I got about halfway through with the analysis work for my maternal grandfather.
- Work on France Kendrick/Lizzie West family group sheet. Ensure that I have basic birth-marriage-death facts for everyone and that they are properly cited. Done.
- Due diligence on p. 16 of Butler Ahnentafel report. I didn't get to this at all.
- The FHL film I ordered last week should come in, so look for marriage bond for Ben Hemphill and Martha Lytle, as well as for others who may have been married in McDowell County, NC between 1842 and 1868. Done. I found about 50 marriage records on this roll, including the bond for Ben & Martha (yay!).
- Order FHL film of Fannin County, GA marriages. I found out these images have been added to Georgia's Virtual Vault, so I didn't need to order the film.
- Database work: delete duplicate notes from records with surnames starting with P and Q. Done.
- Lesson Two of NGS Home Study Course. Done.
- Attend Family History Expo in Atlanta! Done.
I give myself a B this month, not so much for lack of work, as for overplanning. I'm trying out a time-tracking tool that should help me put together more realistic plans going forward. Stay tuned for news about that.
Check back on Thursday to see my to-do list for December.

Is there such a thing as an Alien? The provenance of the term is uncertain, though most people believe that it was coined by Colin Edwards in 2009, after he kept finishing in fifth place behind Valentino Rossi, Casey Stoner, Jorge Lorenzo, and Dani Pedrosa.
Whatever he tried, he could not stay with them. "They are riding out of this world," he said.
The term has stuck. Since then, the term Alien has been applied to the top four riders, the only difference being that Marc Márquez has been swapped for Casey Stoner now that the Australian has retired.
The reality is that since Jorge Lorenzo entered the class until the start of the 2016 season, the five MotoGP Aliens had accounted for all but two of the 143 MotoGP races held.
The two non-Alien wins were by Andrea Dovizioso (Donington 2009) and Ben Spies (Assen 2011). Both of those races came in unusual conditions. The five Aliens dominated the podiums throughout that period as well.
2016 looks like becoming the year the Alien died. Or perhaps more realistically (and less dramatically) the year we had to readjust the concept of a MotoGP Alien. The season was going very much to plan up until Assen, when Jack Miller won an interrupted race in the driving rain.
Then in Austria, Andrea Iannone finally did what everyone has been waiting for, won a race with a Ducati. Cal Crutchlow used a drying surface to his advantage to win at Brno, and then Maverick Viñales won at a dry but cold Silverstone. Questions were asked whether Maverick Viñales was the next Alien.

Senate committee approves drug compounding, 'track and trace' bill
AHA News Now
May 22, 2013
The Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee today approved legislation to improve the safety of compounded drugs by clarifying the oversight responsibilities of state and federal authorities. The legislation distinguishes between traditional compounding pharmacies and "compounding manufacturers," which make sterile products without or in advance of a prescription and sell them across state lines. Traditional compounding would continue to be regulated primarily by state pharmacy boards, while compounding manufacturers would be regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Health systems that engage in sterile compounding would be considered traditional compounders, regulated by the states as they are now, even if they ship interstate for dispensing within their system. The approved bill (S. 959) incorporates "track and trace" legislation (S. 957) to increase the safety and security of the nation's drug distribution system by requiring interoperable, electronic unit-level product tracing within 10 years. According to a report released by the committee today, large-scale drug compounders continue to pose a serious risk to public health since last year's fungal meningitis outbreak involving the New England Compounding Center.

Open Access Debates – get talkingTuesday, November 20, 2012 17:53
A series of interesting and thought-provoking debates is scheduled to launch on 27 November.
Funded by DFID and hosted on UNESCO's WSIS Open Access Community Forum, the discussion will provide a valuable space to discuss different perspectives on what open access means for the developing world and what it can offer.
Register for the online discussions on the WSIS Open Access Knowledge Communities here. The discussion is found at the following link: http://bit.ly/TdUyHG. But please note that in order to post comments you will need to be registered as a user on the platform.
The kickoff topic for debate will be The production, publication and consumption of scholarly knowledge and OA.
The introductory debate will focus on the greater concern of scholarly research in the developing country context debating the questions:
• What does OA imply and offer the developing world in terms of production, publication and consumption of academic materials and research activities?
• What are the specific challenges and opportunities for access to knowledge in developing countries?
Within this topic will be the following sub-themes will be introduced:
- Sub-theme 1: Considering the issues of translation; co-production and increasing access to academic materials; and the importance of OA in producing and sharing of non-state-supported educational materials;
- Sub-theme 2: OA in academia and the search for global prestige; the perverse impact of metrics and rankings; scholarly knowledge production; and sharing and consumption challenges in developing countries.
Backgrounding open access
Open access has enjoyed a great deal of acceptance and growth over the last decade, with a particularly strong spurt in the adoption of open access policies by major agencies and governments in the last 12 months. With open access policies and initiatives now being taken up by UNESCO, the World Bank, the FAO, the European Commission, and the governments of the United Kingdom and the United States, it is clear that open access has entered the global mainstream.
We now know that open access can work in the immediate and short term in providing better access to the research literature, whilst some of the longer term consequences and effects are still emerging. This is especially so in the developing world, which has been badly served by the publishing system we have inherited from the 20th century new opportunities and possibilities are created by open access, and, at the same time certain pitfalls need to be noted and avoided.
A foundational report prepared to inform this dialogue shows the risks posed to all scholarly communications, discourse and practices by the publish-or-perish system, and indicates that in the developing world, the detriments are potentially much deeper and more damaging. As researchers are incentivised to publish in overseas-based journals – mostly unavailable in many developing world contexts – this research 'brain-drain' risks widening the gap between research and policy[1].
At the same time, it also puts localised research at risks – as researchers tend to do the types of research that are more likely to be published in core journals, they are less likely to undertake research that has a more local focus and application because their work is either considered to be only of local or regional interest or does not meet the quality standards required by the major commercial indexes[2]. These kinds of research, however, may be far more relevant than research from the richer countries, and may also be more applicable in other countries with similar socio-economic situations.[3] This potential for the loss of specialised, context-appropriate research is one of the key areas where an adoption of open access at a higher education policy level can have a potential to reverse the trend. In order for this to happen though, national research policies have to consider the communication aspect of scholarly activity and invest not only in the principles of open access, but also in developing the technical infrastructure and skills to support this.
There is another aspect to the publish-or-perish phenomenon, which needs to be borne in mind when considering the potential of open access to mitigate it – and that is that, while open access can relieve some of the financial burden that arises, it does not necessarily solve the problem of citation scores. In fact, a key irony of the development of open access in the global North is that it is increasingly being appropriated by the mainstream to justify publish-or-perish. Many researchers see publishing using open access as a way of increasing individual citations, and several journals have chosen to prominently publish their impact factors, which does little to decrease the marginalisation of research from the developing world. If researchers and academics from these countries really want to take full advantage of the power of open access to make their research visible globally and challenge the status quo, they need to take advantage of the power of networks and social media in order to bypass the traditional system of publishing and evaluation of the perceived "quality" of research[4]. This means creating kinds of impact metrics, particularly those which demonstrate the impact of research on development. In this context, the growth of open access journals in the developing world offers some very real opportunities for measuring and recording alternative impact. However, policymakers and funders need to be educated on this issue – not only in terms of open access, but in the light of the open source, open education and free culture movements as well, which when seen in a broader context, make a convincing argument for convergence in effort and collaboration.
Building Sustainable Funding Models
In many – but by no means all – open access models, the cost of publication is borne by the author. To date, one of the most common ways of managing the cost is to build it into the research funding, or for donors and funders to cover it. While these models are being tested at the moment, for many researchers in developing countries it still means that publication of local research, even in local open access journals, it still arbitrated by external bodies. In the long term, this can be overcome by the development of a more locally-focussed global knowledge commons, which encourages leverage of networked world we live in. It is well understood that phenomena such as disease and climate change are global and do not recognise borders, much less currencies. The exchange of knowledge across borders and the building of a global knowledge commons is increasingly important for solving problems that we all face. The funding of a global knowledge commons is a fraught and complex issue, but open access provides one tool for making the funding of the tools for exchanging information simpler and more equitable.
In many countries, and indeed in many international agencies, the power wielded by the commercial scholarly publishing lobby is still great. They are able to convince governments and agencies that their subscription donations are a viable alternative, and in many developing countries, they exploit the lack of coherent research development frameworks to further their market-driven purposes. Historically many universities in the developing world, emerging out of undemocratic systems needed to rebuild their research systems after the depredations of World Bank and IMF structural adjustment programmes. The focus in this recovery period tended to be on the need to rebuild prestige and so the policy focus and reward systems for researchers gave preference to publication in the big international commercial journals, with their high-impact ratings. However, many institutions in the developing world are increasingly attempting to leverage the potential for the development of scholarly publications that can contribute to their strategies for research contribution to national and local development imperatives. Open access offers an opportunity to make a significant difference at a policy level, which encourages dialogue among developing country research organisations, allowing them to reframe the focus of global open access policy initiatives, contributing to the debate rather than just playing follow-on.

GOLDEN — The United States has filed a civil complaint against PowerTrain Inc., Wood Sales Co. Inc., and Tool Mart Inc., all based in Golden, alleging that they imported and sold more than 78,000 Chinese-made engines that do not meet federal air pollution standards, the Justice Department and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced.
The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., is part of an ongoing effort to ensure that imported non-road engines and equipment comply with the Clean Air Act's emissions standards. The filing marks the first federal court action enforcing the Clean Air Act's emissions standards for portable generators, water pumps and other "non-handheld equipment."
The complaint alleges that the non-road engines imported and sold by PowerTrain, Wood Sales and Tool Mart from September 2002 through at least May 2007 were not certified to meet applicable emission standards. The Clean Air Act prohibits any non-road engine from being imported and sold in the U.S. unless covered by a "certificate of conformity" indicating that the engine meets applicable emission standards. The complaint also alleges that the companies failed to provide buyers with the full emission-system warranty required by the Clean Air Act for all of the non-road engines that were sold, to install proper emission-compliance labels on many of the engines and to fully respond to EPA's administrative information requests issued under the Clean Air Act.
The complaint, filed by the Department of Justice on behalf of the EPA, seeks civil penalties up to the maximum amount authorized by law, as well as actions by the companies to remedy the violations and to mitigate any excess pollutant emissions caused by the violations.

In early October 2000, just before Slobodan Milosevic was overthrown in a bloodless popular revolt, the leader of that movement, Zoran Djindjic, placed a call to one of the most feared men in Serbia: Milorad Lukovic, known to his friends as Legija, or the Legionnaire. Djindjic knew that Lukovic, a square-jawed former paramilitary who was commander of the élite Serbian police unit called the Red Berets, could have crushed the uprising that ousted Milosevic. Djindjic wanted assurances that he would not. But he recognized the risk he was taking by even agreeing to meet Lukovic. "If Milosevic wanted to kill me,...

MUMBAI (Reuters) - Indian Hotels Co Ltd's (IHTL.NS) unsolicited and unexpected $1.2 billion bid for luxury hotel group Orient-Express Hotels Ltd OEH.N, which it has long coveted, sent shares in the company controlled by the Tata conglomerate falling more than 5 percent.
The bid may prove to be the last bold act by Tata group Chairman Ratan Tata before he retires at the end of this year, and marks a rare hostile approach from an Indian company.
The scion of the Mumbai-based Tatas, India's most prominent business family, has built the software-to-steel conglomerate into the country's biggest business house through a series of large overseas acquisitions.
But the group has a mixed record on deals, and investors greeted the offer for Orient-Express, priced at a 40 percent premium, with wariness. Indian Hotels would also assume Orient-Express debt, about $530 million at the end of June.
Indian Hotels has bought several overseas properties, including the Pierre in New York, but they have not tended to perform as well as its domestic operations, which include its flagship Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai.
"Generally, acquisitions for Indian Hotels have not been rewarding for the company," said Niraj Mansingka, an analyst with Edelweiss Capital in Mumbai.
Orient-Express owns a global portfolio of properties including the Hotel Cipriani in Venice and the 21 Club in New York, but its heavy exposure to the sluggish European economy has crimped growth.
"It seems clear to us that (Indian Hotels) wants to position itself as a global hospitality chain," JPMorgan analysts wrote.
Indian Hotels was rebuffed in an attempt to strike an alliance with Orient-Express in 2007, and again in August.
In its $12.63-a-share takeover bid, Indian Hotels has secured the backing of the former CEO of Orient-Express, Paul White, and Luca Cordero di Montezemolo, chairman of Italian sports car maker Ferrari and a close friend of Ratan Tata.
Shares in Orient-Express, which is headquartered in Bermuda, rose as much as 41 percent in New York after the bid was announced on Thursday, closing at $11.05, up 22.5 percent.
The Tata group has been at the forefront of an overseas acquisition binge by Indian companies that started in 2007 and has delivered uneven results.
Tata Motors Ltd (TAMO.NS) made one of India's signature buys when it paid $2.3 billion in 2008 for British luxury car maker Jaguar Land Rover, a heavily-leveraged deal whose wisdom was questioned at the time but has proven to be a winner.
Tata Steel Ltd's (TISC.NS) $12.7 billion takeover in 2007 of Anglo-Dutch steelmaker Corus, India's largest outbound deal, has been less successful, with the European steel sector plagued by overcapacity, high costs and broader economic troubles.
"Those acquisitions have created very anxious moments in shareholders," said Jagannadham Thunuguntla, head of research at SMC Investments and Advisors Ltd in New Delhi.
"Considering that, (it) needs to be seen how far Indian Hotels group would like to stretch themselves," he said.
Another Indian conglomerate, the unlisted Sahara group, has also been buying up trophy hotels, including London's Grosvenor House and, more recently, the Plaza Hotel in New York.
Orient-Express confirmed in a statement late on Thursday that it had received the proposal and would evaluate it. The company has a dual share structure that would make a hostile takeover hard to pull off.
Under the proposed deal, the Charme II Fund, managed by the Ferrari chairman's Montezemolo and Partners S.p.A, would invest $100 million for a minority stake in the newly combined group.
Indian Hotels would contribute $650 million in cash while the rest would be funded by other Tata group entities and debt from ICICI Bank (ICBK.NS), Standard Chartered Bank (STAN.L) and Bank of America-Merrill Lynch (BAC.N), which is also advising it on the deal.
Indian Hotels bought a 10 percent stake in Orient-Express in 2007, and it now owns about 7 percent.
One analyst at a Mumbai brokerage who tracks Indian Hotels and declined to be identified said the takeover proposal does not look attractive for the Mumbai-based company's shareholders, partly because of the debt that Indian Hotels is already carrying.
Indian Hotels, with a market value of $1 billion, had net debt of 35.7 billion rupees ($672 million) at the end of March, up 5 percent from a year earlier.
"It will be earnings dilutive and worsen the debt profile in a troubled business environment. Orient-Express gets a third of its revenue from Europe, which is facing problems," the analyst said.
"Paying 40 percent premium for a property in a low-growth region is probably not a great idea in this environment." ($1 = 53.1250 Indian rupees)

I don't know much about WiiMC but did you checked Stomp_442's thread?
Hi there, I have a black 4.2E wii softmoded following all the rules in this forum. I've got the latest homebrew channel installed through bannerbomb and the hackmii installer. I'm playing backups from an external HDD formatted to WBFS without a problem and the rest of the HDD i believe is formatted NTFS (i use mac osx 10.5.8 and I know it's not FAT32 so I believe it's the remaining one).
I downloaded and installed WiiMc to be able to watch movies from the HDD but it doesn't seem to recognise it. Doesn't say anything, the usb folder just appears to be empty (and it's not). I browsed the forum but can't seem to find any answers. I'm not a pro with the whole softmoding thing, I just follow the step by step guides.
I ran the IOS58 installer succesfully and tried installing WiiMc as a Channel. HBC is still running on IOS61. Tried reinstalling HBC, still IOS61. My HDD is usb2.0 so I figure that must be the problem, but I don't know how to fix it
Can anyone give me a hand and tell me step by step what I need to do? or if there's already an answer to this (trust me, I searched quite a bit before posting) can you link me to it?
I don't know much about WiiMC but did you checked Stomp_442's thread?

Legal Question in Employment Law in California
I've been a manager at a storage facility for 2 years, and believe that my employer has violated CA laws. I live onsite in an apartment, and also get a monthly base pay plus rental bonus.
1) Is it legal to have me work 7 days a week, with no additional pay for days 6 and 7? No overtime paid, either! (I think the owner may use the excuse that I am a "Manager", but I have no budget, supervise no employees, and he always has an excuse for why he can't hire someone part time so that I can have 2 days off.)
2) Since I am the only one there now (he had 2 people in the past), is he required to provide me with a lunch hour?
3) If he was required to pay me for days 6 and 7 for the past 2 years, at an overtime rate, do interest or penalties apply?
Thanks! Ted

It sounds as if you might have been either misclassified as an exempt employee or just improperly paid as an employee under the California Labor Code. Please call (213-381-6557) or email me ([email protected]) if you would like to discuss the matter further.
All the best,
Ari Leichter
You can probably show you are an hourly employee, improperly classified as salary exempt. That would entitle you to OT for any hours over 8 or 40, with penalties and interest accruing. Denied breaks and lunches also earn OT, penalties and interest. If you win at court you would also get judgment for all your attorney fees. If serious about hiring counsel to help in this, feel free to contact me.

Monday night, Hodgenville City Council reversed a decision it made last fall. Council members voted to rejoin the LaRue County Chamber of Commerce.
Last September, the council was divided on the benefits offered by the Chamber – and former mayor Terry Cruse said the membership cost wasn't budgeted.
Interim Mayor Kenny DeVore said Monday he had received a letter from the organization inviting the City to join at a "reduced" level: $2,500 annually (the same amount that was requested last fall).
Toni Burton has been hired as Hodgenville City Clerk.
City Council approved the recommendation of Interim Mayor Kenny DeVore Monday and Burton began her duties Tuesday.
Three of the council members screened applications, narrowed the field to seven applicants, and forwarded their top-two selections to DeVore.
Her employment is provisional on the outcome of a drug and credit screen and a background check. She will be on probation for one year.
"She won't be sworn in until those come back," said DeVore.
A hearing has been scheduled to consider a complaint filed by Elizabethtown resident Richard Leal against Hardin County Emergency Medical Services.
The Kentucky Board of Emergency Medical Services' preliminary inquiry board will review the complaint during a 10 a.m. meeting Aug. 12 at its Lexington office, according to Deputy Executive Director Charles O'Neal.
Monday, June 30, the LaRue County Fiscal Court held a brief special meeting to discuss closing the 2013-14 budget, the acceptance of an oil bid, and a revised copy of the health insurance renewals. The meeting was called to meet the deadline to close accounts at the end of the fiscal year
Hodgenville City Council met in a special session Monday to hold second reading of the 2014-15 budget ordinance.
The budget is almost identical to last year's.
The budget anticipates $336,800 in occupational taxes; $296,000 in city taxes; and $285,000 in insurance premium tax. Another $532,000 is budgeted for sewer revenue; $790,000 for water revenue.
Expenditures include $587,000 for police; $490,000 for city/capital outlay; $55,250 for fire department debt; $25,000 for park and recreation; and $78,200 for Red Hill Cemetery.
LaRue County Fiscal Court has approved a three-year agreement with Emergency Communications Network for CodeRed, a system that will allow notifications, such as severe weather or chemical spills affecting roadways, to instantly be relayed through email, text messages, and home or cell phones.
Magistrates meeting at the courthouse in Hodgenville June 24 heard Judge-executive Tommy Turner say that more than 80 Kentucky Counties have the coverage.
The Kentucky Department of Revenue has set the 2014 State Real Property Tax Rate at 12.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. Kentucky Revised Statute 132.020 requires the Department of Revenue to set the real property rate no later than July 1 of each year.

A hearing was scheduled June 13 in the lawsuit filed over the results of the May 20 Republican primary race for the 24th District state representatives, but the court is no closer to a decision.
The 24th District includes Green, LaRue and Marion counties.
LaRue Countians have an opportunity to influence community planning by completing a short survey.
The Land of Lincoln Planning and Zoning is offering a nine question survey on their website www.laruecounty.org/pzsurvey and in the June 18 issue of The LaRue County Herald News (See page 5A.) Paper ballots are available at three offices in the LaRue County Courthouse (planning and zoning, county clerk and PVA) and Hodgenville City Hall.
The Land of Lincoln Board of Adjustments has provided a tape recording of a closed meeting to The LaRue County Herald News.
The newspaper filed a formal complaint with the BOA after a June 2 meeting. The board went into closed session to discuss conditions to place on a request for a sawmill on Sonora Road.
Governing bodies can enter into closed session for only a few reasons – mainly discussion of specific personnel, land transaction or pending litigation – according to the state's Open Meeting Law.

South China Sea dispute at Asian summit
Updated 10:48 pm, Tuesday, November 20, 2012
Phnom Penh, Cambodia --
President Obama's attendance at an annual summit of Southeast Asian leaders on Tuesday thrust him right in the eye of the region's most stormy dispute: the long-raging rivalry between China and five neighbors for control of strategic and resource-rich waters in the South China Sea.
The inability to resolve these territorial conflicts has become a major impediment to the 10-member Association of Southeast Asian Nations as it tackles ambitious dreams like a plan to turn the economically vibrant region of 600 million people into an EU-like community by the end of 2015.

Neither the United States nor China is a member of ASEAN, but each has strong supporters in the group. Summit host Cambodia, an ally of China, has tried at this week's summit to shift the focus to economic concerns, but Beijing's territorial disputes with its ASEAN neighbors - including staunch U.S. ally the Philippines - have yet again overshadowed discussions.
Into this heated atmosphere came Obama, who flew to Phnom Penh for Tuesday's expanded East Asia Summit, in which the 10 ASEAN countries were joined by eight other nations, including China and the United States. Behind closed doors, the Chinese and Philippine leaders pressed their territorial claims while others called for restraint. After the summit, the exchange shifted to the chandelier-lit lobby, where diplomats of the two countries reiterated their positions.
Washington has reiterated that it takes no sides in the territorial disputes but would not allow any country to resort to force and block access to the South China Sea, a vital commercial and military gateway to Asia's heartland.
Washington has also called for the early crafting of a "code of conduct" to prevent clashes in the disputed territories, a call backed by Australia and Japan, but it remains unclear if and when China will sit down with rival claimants to draft such a legally binding nonaggression pact.
The potentially oil- and gas-rich South China Sea islands and waters are contested by China, Taiwan and four ASEAN members - Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam.
The last fighting, involving China and Vietnam, killed more than 70 Vietnamese sailors in 1988.

I'm not that big of a whimp ;-)
Hey all,
I noticed that I may have come across as a spoiled two year old who is thriving on self pity. I am not, I do suffer from depression, and other mood issues, but my personality is that of an insane optimist. The reason why I can't believe that I will feel better once I have transitioned from being able to walk, to using a scooter or chair, is that I refuse to believe that I will be using either until I am actually in it. Unfortunately I am one of those people who fear self fulfilling prophesies, if I think that I will be using a scooter in a year, I will, but if I say I won't I won't. I know it is a subconscious issue, but I have several times experienced thinking that I haven't fallen for a while only to find myself face first in the pavement a minute later!.
Right now I am working towards creating an acceptable future, where no matter what happens, I will be able to do something meaningful every day. I have an organization funding me, and the hope is that I will have a home based internet business within a year. For me it is a way to prepare for the worst without having to think about it every day, as many people have home based internet businesses.
I am getting better at enjoying the now, and I have started writing a blog, which is the best form of therapy I have ever experienced. It is hard to put myself out there, but knowing that people do not consider me a pathetic loser, has helped me a lot over the past couple of weeks. I was also recently put on a drug for ADD, and I have so much more control over myself, I am more optimistic, don't get overwhelmed as easily, and my physical strength has increased significantly (checked with my Dr who said that was possible). It is the best thing that has happened to me in years, I wonder how I could go 35 years without being diagnosed!
I did not mean for this to be so long, but I just really wanted to clear things up and let you know that I am not the pathetic whiner I come across as ;-) Have a great weekend out there in the big world.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Hiding Place Inc, Baltimore, MD, USA
I have worked extensively with the Hiding Place for years. The bed bug problem was addressed and over $40,000 in renovations have been done to the site to benefit the women and children. A new bathroom, painting, windows, etc., have been done to better the residents program. In addition, I have not known any staff person to tell a parent to use a belt on their child. If a resident ever has any difficulty then they can always follow the standard grievance procedures of the Hiding Place which is available.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
volunteering and helping coordinate projects.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Expand the program and double its size because their are over 1500 homeless people in Baltimore County and many of them are children.

NEW YORK, Jan 28 (IFR) - Mexico's Pemex broke the silence in the LatAm primary markets on Thursday, announcing a three-part benchmark dollar bond that is the region's first corporate offering of the year.
The oil company picked an opportune time, coming on a day when crude prices were rebounding and following headlines that the government might inject capital into the state-owned entity.
Still, leads were seen offering a generous concession based on initial price thoughts of high 5% area on a three-year, 6.625%-6.75% on a five-year and 7.375% area on a 10-year.
Those levels were a good 70bp or more over the curve, where Pemex's existing 3.125% 2019s, 5.50% 2021s and 4.50% 2026s were being spotted at 4.95%, 5.85% and 6.31%, respectively.
At that level the deal is seen coming cheap, especially relative to the sovereign, whose new 4.125% 2026s were trading at a mid-market yield of around 4%.
"That is like a 300bp spread to the sovereign," one syndicate manager away from the deal told IFR. "Traditionally it has traded 80bp-120bp wide."
While oil hit a three-week high on Thursday, Pemex will have to adjust to higher funding costs this year as investors push back on oil and gas names.
"As a result of deteriorating cash flows and credit investors increasingly avoiding the struggling energy sector, Latin American national oil companies will face high refinancing risk," Nymia Almeida, a senior credit officer at Moody's, wrote earlier this month.
Almeida named Pemex as one of the region's oil companies needing to tackle significant debt maturities in 2016 and 2017. (Reporting by Paul Kilby; Editing by Marc Carnegie)

How can anyone vote for ''Champ'' Walker after seeing the information that he has been arrested four times, one of which was for shoplifting? And, throughout the past few weeks he has failed to attend forums, debates, etc. to which he has been invited.
Each time he did not appear, the people attending must surely wonder what kind of person he is if he is no more dependable then he has demonstrated. I personally feel he does not know the issues and is not well-versed in what is important in the problems that face the 12th District in the state of Georgia. The entire 12th District will be better served if we elect Max Burns as our congressman.
As for Max Cleland, I have seen his television ads and read his commentary and either he or the Congressional Record is not factual. The voting record he claims does not agree with the record. Don't take my word for it -- check it out for yourself. Cleland has been voting most of the time with Ted Kennedy, Tom Daschle and Hillary Clinton and that certainly does not represent the more conservative Georgia. Also, anyone who can vote ''yes'' for partial-birth abortion, which kills an infant being delivered from the birth canal, is a person I do not want as my senator. I also want my representatives and senators to vote in favor of homeland security. How can Zell Miller call Max Cleland the conscience of the Senate? I urge voters to support Saxby Chambliss. Chambliss has a better pulse on the desires and needs of Georgians.

1Place an egg separator over a small bowl. Crack open 1 egg over the egg separator to seperate the yolk from the white; then separate the other egg. (Save the whites for another recipe.) In a small bowl, place the yolks. Beat the egg yolks with a fork or wire whisk until mixed. Stir in 1 1/2 cups milk; set aside.
2In a 2-quart saucepan, stir 1/3 cup granulated sugar, the cornstarch and 1/8 teaspoon salt until mixed. Gradually stir egg mixture into sugar mixture. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and stir 1 minute; remove from heat. Stir in 2 teaspoons vanilla. Press plastic wrap on surface of filling to prevent a tough layer from forming on top. Refrigerate at least 2 hours until set but no longer than 24 hours. While filling is chilling, continue with recipe.
3Heat the oven to 350°F. Spray just the bottom of a 9-inch round cake pan with the baking spray.
4In a large bowl, beat all cake ingredients with an electric mixer on low speed 30 seconds, stopping frequently to scrape batter from side and bottom of bowl with a rubber spatula. Beat on high speed 3 minutes, stopping occasionally to scrape bowl. Pour batter into the pan; use a rubber spatula to scrape batter from bowl, spread batter evenly in pan and smooth top of batter.
5Bake about 35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool cake in pan on a cooling rack 20 minutes, then remove onto cooling rack to finish cooling completely, about 1 hour.
6In a 1-quart saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons butter and the chocolate over low heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, in 1-cup glass measuring cup, microwave the water uncovered on High 15 to 30 seconds or until hot. Remove chocolate mixture from heat. Stir in the powdered sugar and 3/4 teaspoon vanilla. Stir in 3 tablespoons hot water. Stir in additional water, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing is smooth and thin enough to spread.
7To split cake horizontally in half, mark middle points around side of cake with toothpicks. Using toothpicks as a guide, cut through the cake with a long, sharp knife, using a back-and-forth motion. On a serving plate, place bottom layer with the cut side up. Spread filling over bottom layer. Top with top of cake, cut side down.

It used to be that what you saw on a movie set would pretty much be what you saw in the final movie. If you wanted to have a mountain in the background, you'd have to go to one. However with modern technology, CGI has made it possible to have that mountain in the background without even leaving your home. Just whip up a green screen and you're good to go! This advancement in technology has meant for some big differences between what is filmed and what we see in the final movie.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A robber held a sporting goods store manager at gunpoint and forced her to remove money from a safe, according to Daytona Beach police.
The holdup, which was captured by surveillance cameras, occurred around noon Wednesday at the Dick's Sporting Goods store on International Speedway Boulevard in Daytona Beach while the store was filled with customers.
In the video, the gunman is seen ordering the store manager to empty the safe, located in a back office, and fill an empty cardboard box with cash. Although the manager complies, the robber appears to become angry.
Video shows the thief grabbing the woman by the neck and pushing her into a counter as he holds a gun to her head.
As the holdup was underway, an accomplice waited inside the store, according to investigators.
Anyone who recognizes the thieves are urged to call Daytona Beach police.

Title: Circumstellar Gas in Proto-Solar Nebula Analogs: NIFS Observations of Proplyd 253-1536
Abstract: The formation of planetary systems is intimately connected to the properties of the circumstellar disks in which they are formed. While most disk studies have focused on nearby star forming regions like Taurus for their proximity, most stars actually form in dense clusters near massive OB-stars like those in Orion. Building on the success of our NIFS observations of H2 in circumstellar disks in Taurus, we propose to observe the young binary "proplyd" in Orion, 253-1536, to measure its molecular gas content. Although molecular gas is the dominant constituent of circumstellar disks, (99% by mass), it has not been spatially resolved toward any disks in Orion to date. If we can spatially resolve the H2 emission from the disk, we can directly estimate the mass of emitting molecular gas in these disks, and constrain the gas-to-dust ratio for the first time in Orion. Our proposed observations will allow more accurate measurements of the disk masses, and will constrain models for the potential of disks to form planets in the typical birth environment of most stars in our Galaxy.

Marlins righthander Ramon Del Orbe is scheduled to have surgery to relieve pressure and swelling as he recovers from a Josh Bell line drive that struck him in the head during the sixth inning of a game Tuesday night in the South Atlantic League.
Del Orbe, pitching for low Class A Greensboro, suffered multiple skull fractures. Del Orbe was rushed to a Charleston, W.Va., hospital where he has been kept in intensive care under observation. Initially it was thought that Del Orbe would not need surgery, but according to a Marlins official, doctors decided Wednesday morning that surgery was needed. It's expected the surgery will take roughly two hours.
Del Orbe, signed out of the Dominican Republic in 2008, is 5-8. 4.75 for Greensboro this year in 23 starts.

I got this email the other day:
I'd like to setup a call with the principal of your firm. We've recently discovered a web company that has been plagiarizing our content. In doing our research, we've notice that they've also stolen from you. This should look familiar...
What followed was a link to an article I had written, but it wasn't on my site. It was on another company's website. There were a few minor changes, but it was 90% the same. They had even copied one of the comments and added it as a comment on their post.How did we find it?
It turns out, this company had copied more than 20 articles, mostly from a web design firm called Newfangled, but also from Blair Enns. It was Mark from Newfangled who spotted it.
Together, we decided to contact them. Blair sent a email demanding they take down the articles and recommending that they take down their entire blog. The full email is posted at the end of this article. It's absolutely worth reading.
Their first response? "We didn't know that was plagiarism. We thought everyone does that." So let's get that out of the way. What exactly is plagiarism?
- pla·gia·rism (noun): The practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.
Pretty clear. If you make it sound like you wrote it, but you didn't, and hold it out as your own with no citation, no link, or attribution, that's unlawful and you enter the world of copyright infringement. Had they cited the work and linked back to the authors, it would likely have been legit.How do I know if my content is being used unlawfully?
It's amazingly simple. Here is one of the many plagiarism checkers: Copyscape. Checking for violators is as easy as searching Google. Here's how it works...

UN chief Ban Ki-moon opened the international summit on the global food crisis in Rome last week by calling for a 50 per cent increase in food production by the year 2030. As the High-level Conference on World Food Security concluded the UN's long-term focus was revealed; to improve food security whilst increasing production and agricultural financing. For Ban, the world has a "historic opportunity to revitalise agriculture" and must "respond immediately" to improve food security and eliminate "trade and taxation policies that distort markets."
With this declaration the momentum for change is growing, but is this direction going to see the development of sustainable agricultural practices? Will it relieve hunger and improve the quality of lives for the global poor? Or will the rich poor divide worsen through further entrenchment of existing mechanisms that control trade and production in favor of Western politics and economics?
The global food price crisis has been brought about by an increased demand for biofuels, poor harvests from changing environments, increasing transportation costs, land development, a growing Asian market as well as unfavorable trade characteristics. The poorest people around the world have been hit hardest, sparking food riots in some places, for example Haiti, Cameroon and Egypt, as well as food export restrictions in many others such as India, Vietnam and Brazil.
At the summit world leaders agreed that changes to farming practices are needed to address the price rise and food shortage crisis. The UN announced on Friday that $6 billion in new funding would be provided to address the global food crisis through implementation of the "Comprehensive Framework for Action" agreed to by the international task force (including the World Bank, WTO and IMF). Features of the plan include feeding programmes, fertilizer supplies, animal services and other short term measures as well as longer term strategies to reduce export bans on food commodities and increase investment in agricultural production. The Under-Secretary General, John Holmes stated,
"We need to focus both on the immediate needs and on the longer-term issues starting right now and the focus is on the smallholder farmers in developing countries," he said. "These are the people who need most help and where there is the most potential for increasing agricultural productivity and production."
Whilst the object to increase food production is clear and the direction to help small farmers important many questions of implementation arise. For example, is it possible to double world food production in a sustainable manner, are GM foods being reconsidered, what implication does this have regarding land use and environmental protection? Furthermore, questions of accountability about policies and trade practices that have created the hunger crisis remain unaddressed.
It appears that a range of factors have coalesced to reach a global crisis, increasing consumption, overdevelopment, resource depletion, oil crisis, biofuel demands, climate change and so on. These problems and the challenges they bring to security will not be solved under a 'Äòbusiness as usual approach' where trade regimes are not addressed, third-world debt and conditionalities continue to mount and where trade subsidies serve to benefit wealthy nations at the expense of poor communities. It is hoped that this latest mobilisation for change will consider, in real and practical terms, issues of sustainability in agriculture and will extend to address global trading regimes that have produced an unequal distribution of benefits; the root of the food security crisis.

I've had a problem with Sony Xperia Z, Z1 and now the Z1 compact. The alarm clock is unreliable. Not the clock itself actually, every now and then (2-3 times a month) the sound just disappears. This means the alarm clock goes off, but no sound to wake you. When I check, there is no ring sound, sms sound until a reboot.
The only times this happens is during the night, never experienced it at daytime. I've tried to google this, but it seems like I am the only one with this issue. Had it with 3 sony phones witch I guess use some of the same software from Sony..
Anyone else had this? solved it?

From a female blog reader:
I really do not want to be typing this but alas , I find myself doing so. I have carried this secret around for weeks now and have thought of nothing else.Where do I start ? My husband has this lady friend ,a married woman with four kids whom I know has a crush on him but I ignored them because I talked till I got tired.At some point , I confronted her but it didnt end well…She is married to a prominent politician , a very rich man that if I call his name here, it will cause a major scandal. She knows he is married with kids ,he knows she is married with kids ..this is just a case of 2 useless people that found themselves in lust..She flew in from Abuja to Imo state this month just to have sex with my useless husband.I am even ashamed of myself for being married to a man that will sleep with another man's wife ;he does not know the kind of curses he just brought down upon himself. Well , being married to a filthy cheat taught me some things , as soon as I saw the text messages they exchanged discussing the nasty sex they had in a hotel , i simply took screen shots ,her number and face is showing in the texts she cant even deny it.Now , my question is this : I want to forward these screenshots to her husband but
1. Can I live with myself for being the demise of her marriage ? I am 100% sure he will kick her out because her husband has a serious side chic and once he finds out she had sex with my husband , he will take that opportunity to kick her out and bring in his side chic…she deserves it though.
2. What if her husband sends killers to my husband ? Its not impossible oo. you have to think things through before making a decision..he may not know my husband is the culprit but what if her forces his wife and she confesses and points to my husband and the man comes to kill him? I hate my husband but am not quite ready to be a widow,any day I am ready I will kill him myself , nobody will help me with that , I am equal to the task.
The foolish man doesnt even know I know , he has been smiling with me like a goat , am just looking at him.

I've got a friend wanting to trade his XB1 for a PS4 (talked him into it woot to me).
Anyways, he found one on CraigsList a guy is wanting to trade his PS4 for a One, perfect.
The guy has CoD Ghosts, BF4, and FIFA but they are digital copies.
Would it even be possible to get the games to work if my friend bought it? The guy wants to wipe the PS4 before he sells it so there wouldn't be any access to his account to redownload them right? He'd need to leave the games installed and just delete his account?
Anyone know how to keep the games on the PS4 installed but delete the main account they're tied to? Or if it's even possible without buying them all over again.

Building on the momentum from last year's fast on the National Mall, the #Fast4Families campaign has entered into its next phase: a cross-country bus tour. Keeping with the theme "Act; Fast; and Pray until just immigration reform is achieved," #Fast4 Families kicked off its national bus tour on Jan. 27 from California, where hundreds gathered in support.
The tour across America includes two buses heading through approximately 155 cities in more than 75 congressional districts on northern and southern routes. At each of these 100+ stops, fasters will engage with pro-reform advocates, including faith leaders, who are keenly aware of the moral crisis caused by our broken immigration system.
#Fast4Families is joined by more than 50 sponsors on this national bus tour who are urging Congress to enact fair, commonsense solutions. Since its launch, the faith community has been an integral part, as local leaderslike Salt Lake City Catholic Bishop John Wester join to urge action on immigration.
"Our country has been founded by immigrants, has a history of welcoming and integrating immigrants and we will continue to be great as we acknowledge our heritage and be a nation whose shores are a welcome beacon for those on the move," Wester told KSL.com.
Last week, as a time of prayer and reflection began for many Christians with Lent, people around the country have committed to fast each Wednesday through the Lenten season in solidarity with fasters to build momentum on the issue.
Eliseo Medina, a leader in the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), fasted for 22 days while leading the #Fast4Families in Washington, D.C. and believes fasting can have a profound effect on those watching.
"Fasting is a way to engage people in a non-threatening manner," Medina told the Los Angeles Times. "When you're marching or picketing, it's confrontational and people go on the defensive. Fasting says, 'Here's what I believe, here's my faith, and I feel so strongly about it that I'm willing to sacrifice.' When that happens, people take a different attitude. It makes them begin to examine their own principles and values."
This week, as Eliseo and other fasters continue their trek across the country, they will stop in Oklahoma, Colorado, Arkansas, Minnesota, and Louisiana.
To get involved, make sure to follow their route closely and take action by pledging to fast and pray for immigration reform. Also, you can call your member of Congress to support commonsense immigration reform. To get as many people as possible to fast in solidarity with the Washington, D.C. fasters, fast in large groups in public places, so we can bring attention to this important issue. Most of all, you can tell your loved ones, family, and friends about the moral crisis caused by the broken immigration system and raise public awareness of the suffering and sacrifice immigrants face in our country. As we remember MLK's words, let us not forget that each action makes a huge difference: "If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way."

Stay tuned for a weekly update on the tour on our blog.
