NBA Lockout Watch, Day 120: Sides Sounds Optimistic A Deal Could Be Close
Published October 28, 2011
FINALLY CRACKING A SMILE: In L.A., Mike Bresnahan notes Stern was "caught smiling in the back of an interview room after Thursday's meeting." He was also "upbeat when he sat down at the dais to talk with reporters" (L.A. TIMES, 10/28). On Long Island, Alan Hahn reports with a "smiling Stern sitting in on his news conference, Hunter pointed to his counterpart when asked at what point BRI would return to the front burner." Hunter said, "David Stern is sitting back there. I believe he can tell you." Stern interjected while smiling, "Tomorrow!" Hahn writes, "The giddy repartee between the sides cannot be overlooked, but those involved in the talks believe things once again will reach a delicate stage when the BRI is broached" (NEWSDAY, 10/28). In Houston, Jonathan Feigen wrote at Thursday's press conference, Stern "went from heckler in the audience to open mic night comic," and it took NBPA President and Lakers G Derek Fisher to "warn that the bargaining gets toughest at the end." Both sides said that they "had not even begun to discuss how to split the basketball related income, the issues that led them to being separated a week earlier and for the mediator to bolt out of town." Feigen noted even the "negotiations on the system issues that filled the two days of talks were not complete, though there was considerable progress on the sticky luxury tax system" (CHRON.com, 10/27). Fisher said after Thursday's session, "There's no guarantees we'll get it done, but we're going to give it one heck of a shot tomorrow. And I think Billy and the union's negotiators feel the same way" (N.Y. TIMES, 10/28).
FINISH STRONG: YAHOO SPORTS' Wojnarowski noted the two sides "still have a litany of 'B-list' items that they barely discussed in the process, including the draft age minimum, code of conduct for players, drug testing and pensions." But items like that "often fall into place quickly once the major issues are resolved in talks." Sources said that the sides "have made significant progress on one of the labor fight's most vexing obstacles: the luxury tax teams would have to pay for going over the salary." But there are "still a couple sticking points with the tax that need to be resolved" (SPORTS.YAHOO.com, 10/27). During Thursday's press conference, Stern was asked "if the league was prepared to make another economic move Friday if necessary to get the deal done." Stern said, "We're prepared to negotiate over everything. We're looking forward to it." Berger notes the two sides are "trying to agree on the framework of a new system of player contracts and team payrolls before proceeding with the final, most important, and interrelated piece of the negotiation: the split of BRI." Sources said the "split of revenues was not discussed Wednesday or Thursday" (CBSSPORTS.com, 10/28). Sources said that Hunter "spoke to players earlier Thursday and reiterated the union's stance that players want at least a 52-48 split of BRI." Hunter said, "I think we're within reach and within striking distance of getting a deal. It's just a question of how receptive the NBA is and whether or not they want to do a deal" (ESPNNY.com, 10/27). SI's Ian Thomsen writes, "Talk of salvaging an 82-game slate ... is far less important than getting the details right on Friday" (SI.com, 10/28).
are still some significant issues left to negotiate
ROOT OF THE OPTIMISM: TRUE HOOP's Henry Abbott wrote Thursday's press conference was the "first time either side has been this jolly and the first time either side has declared a day as the day." Abbott: "Friday is the day, and no one's afraid to say it." He noted there are three reasons for the progress. Federal mediator George Cohen "was effective," and both sides "appear to be genuinely motivated to meet the next deadline, coming any day now, which is the latest possible day to make a deal while preserving the chance of an 82-game season." Sources said that a third contributing factor "has been the absence this week of one of the union's most feared negotiators, lawyer Jeffrey Kessler." Abbott noted much "was made of Portland owner Paul Allen's appearance in last week's mediated session. The suggestion was that he was there to send a message that owners were holding a hard line." But league sources said that it was "nothing of the sort." The sources added that Allen "was there at the invitation of the NBA's negotiators to watch Kessler" (ESPN.com, 10/27).
MEDIA REAX: In Philadelphia, Kate Fagan notes progress is "being made, a middle ground could be in sight, but crucial hurdles remain." Fagan notes neither the union nor the NBA "was willing to extrapolate specifically on the progress made, saying it would be fruitless to discuss advances when any given issue could trigger a backslide" (PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER, 10/28). In N.Y., Marc Berman writes the "skeptic will argue too many false alarms have occurred for an agreement to be probable, that this is a show by Stern, who is representing a caravan of hard-line, small-market owners wanting it all." A source said that there is "always a possibility of today ending with acrimony that short-circuited last Thursday's federal mediation talks" (N.Y. POST, 10/28). In N.Y., Mike Lupica writes, "We will find out in the next day or two, before more of the NBA season is canceled, how much the league's owners actually want to make a deal." Lupica: "We know players want to play, because they always do. Now we will find out about the owners, if enough of them really are willing to bang an entire season of professional basketball in this country to get the system they want." It is "impossible for any reasonable person to believe that there isn't a deal to be made that is fair to both sides, and made now." But it is "on the owners." The "idea that this is all about Hunter's players being the pigs here is ridiculous, and always has been, whether they have the leverage in this or not" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 10/28).
82-GAME PICKUP: Hunter has said a full 82-game schedule is possible if a new CBA deal is reached by Monday. N.Y. Daily News reporter Frank Isola said, "I don't know why you would try to squeeze 82 games in. That could mean having to play a lot more back-to-backs, maybe three games in three nights, scheduling issues. It's not good for the players in terms of their physical well-being and the product won't be as good." He also added that Stern did say about the potential of a three-game home stand in four nights, "it might be asking a lot from the fans" ("Daily News Live," SportsNet N.Y., 10/27). Boston Globe columnist Bob Ryan said playing all 82 games "would just be further proof that the owners do not care about the quality of the product that they are putting out there" ("Around the Horn," ESPN, 10/27).

Now just look at those homemade sweet potato chips. Don't they look good? Well, they weren't.
|Homemade sweet potato chips with homemade blue cheese dressing for dipping
At least not as good as I expected them to be. And they were quite "fussy" to make (read that "tedious!") ... the amount of effort required was not worth the result. Though my husband Mark just said from the kitchen, as I'm typing this post, "I like the sweet potatoes pretty good." The flavor was decent, so maybe I'll try to re-work the spicing from this recipe into a roasted sweet potato side dish. Maybe...
Anway, both recipes (the sweet potato chips and the blue cheese dressing) are from my "50 Recipes for 2011" list (click here to see the list). The potato chips have a combination of chili powder, cumin, and paprika on them. Hmmmm, I thought to myself - if we dip buffalo hot wings in blue cheese dressing, might it be tasty to dip these spicy sweet potato chips in blue cheese dressing?? And that's how today's cooking adventure was born. So, I went to work making sweet potato chips and blue cheese dressing.
I'm happy to say that the blue cheese dressing is fabulous! The recipe is from my friend Jennie, and I can say with confidence that, as of today, it will be a very rare day when I buy pre-fabbed blue cheese dressing. I'm now a homemade convert. So, let's begin there.
First, put all your blue cheese dressing ingredients - minus the blue cheese - in a bowl.
Give it a good stir to get everything all cozy together.
I actually tasted it at this point, before adding the blue cheese. It was already yummy!
Now put in your blue cheese crumbles, and gently fold those in.
You don't want to over-work it and break up all those nice, big hunks of blue cheese. You want it to be all lumpy-bumpy.
With phase 1 of the adventure done, it was time to move on to the sweet potato chips. Unfortunately, phase 2 didn't go so well. The first challenge was to get the sweet potatos sliced thinly - about 1/8" thick. My food processor isn't able to slice that thinly, and I don't own a mandoline (and would be afraid I'd cut my fingers off if I did! I'm a clutz.), so I tried the slicing side of my 6-sided box grater. No luck. This left me with only the option of slicing by hand. Do you know how hard it is to evenly slice by hand? "Fussiness" #1.
Next, toss the potato slices in a canola oil-and-spice mix to coat, and lay in a single layer on baking sheets. Oil coated potato slices stick together and are not that easy to separate. "Fussiness" #2. Then bake, watching carefully to make sure they don't burn. Remember that trouble I had slicing them evenly? Well ... here's what happens when some of the slices are thinner than others ... they end up like these guys -- "Fussiness" #3.
|Thin potato slices ... a *bit* crisp ... not so good
The final result - sweet potato chips that were very unevenly cooked - sometimes burnt, sometimes just right, and - more often than not - soggy and flimsy. While the flavor was good, I was severely disappointed with the end product.
So ... the very fabulous, absolutely yummy, amazingly wonderful homemade blue cheese dressing ended up being enjoyed like this. Yum.
|Good ol' veggie sticks with blue cheese.
Source: My friend Jennie
(Printable recipe)
- 3/4 c. nonfat plain yogurt (I used nonfat plain Greek yogurt)
- 3/4 c. mayonnaise
- 1 medium shallot, finely chopped (I usually use just a small slice from a regular onion, and grate it)
- 1 T. fresh lemon juice
- 1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
- 1/4 tsp. freshly ground pepper
- 3 to 4 oz. good blue cheese, crumbled
- In a bowl, combine all dressing ingredients except the blue cheese. Crumble in the blue cheese and fold together gently. (NOTE: Don't use finely crumbled blue cheese - you want it chunky.)
- Store covered in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Simon in Reds' Opening Day bullpen
Simon in Reds' Opening Day bullpen
CINCINNATI -- Pitcher Alfredo Simon did not spend a single day at Reds camp this spring, yet finds himself on their Opening Day roster. Simon was claimed off waivers on Tuesday and will be a middle reliever out of the bullpen. Simon pitched in four spring games for Baltimore, including two starts, and had a 7.00 ERA. In nine innings, he had two walks and five strikeouts. "They had a lot of pitching and didn't have a spot for me," Simon said. "I had a groin injury and they put me on waivers because I didn't pitch that much in Spring Training. I knew I'd get picked up. It's business. It happens."
Simon, 30, is 8-12 lifetime with a 5.18 ERA in 78 games, including 36 starts, all with the Orioles since 2008. As a reliever last season, Simon was 1-1 with a 4.64 ERA in 21 1/3 innings over seven games. "I'm glad to be here with the guys here," Simon said. "They're very nice. I will enjoy it here."

A second suspect in the blatant, brutal murder of a Crown Heights teenager on October 20 on Flatlands Avenue walked into the Foster Avenue station house, home of the 69th Precint, with his lawyer last Saturday and gave himself up to members of the
local Detective Squad.
Jeremy Morris, 18, of Fountain
Avenue, East New York, joined Trevon Killings, 28, ofCrown Heights, behind bars after he was picked up by detectives for allegedly murdering 17- year-old Duvena Dudzinkis after an argument on East 96th Street near YOUTH'S HOMICIDE
Flatlands Avenue.
Killings was positively identified, police said, after witnesses identified him in a lineup at the police precinct on November 3. At that point, he was officially arrested and charged with murder in the second degree, He had been seen arguing with the victim about gang-related clothing he had apparently been wearing at a different time and place in front of the restaurant on Flatlands Avenue near East 96th Street and, when the argument escalated, he turned his back and began to walk away, and then began to run, at which time at least two shots rang out, according to witnesses, and Dudzinkis fell to the ground at East 94th Street. The gang that had attacked him disbursed at this point just as police, having been called by witnesses, arrived.
Cops called Emergency Medical Service paramedics, who took the victim to Brookdale Hospital where he was pronounced dead at about 5 p.m., police said.
After interviewing witnesses and local shop owners, Killings was picked up and identified in a lineup week ago.
Morris' lawyer accompanied the accused man as he gave himself up at the station house. Detectives are holding the case open pending further statements
Police here said both Killings and Morris have prior records. The case is still being held open pending any new developements. Therefore, anyone with further information is asked to call the 69th Precinct Detective Squad at (718) 257-6215 or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS. All calls will be kept strictly confidential.

Greenpeace "A Watershed Moment in India†challenge, which was open from September 3rd, 2013, saw participation from over 1500 people across 58 countries, who created 256 designs for renewable energy powered, portable, affordable irrigation systems for small farmers in the Indian state of Bihar.
Participants uploaded their designs to a web platform, where they were viewable by the public (including other competing teams) who commented on all designs and suggested improvements, which the designers took into consideration to iterate and adapt their designs.
Solutions covered a wide spectrum of technologies, from solar PV and solar thermal to waste biogas powered designs and more exotic choices such as hydrogen/fuel cell designs. The winning designs are all renewable energy powered pumps that fit into the lifestyle and budget of India's small-scale farmers. In the next project phase, the prototypes will be given to Bihar farmers, who will use them and then share the feedback. This feedback will then be incorporated in the design to further improve it. The optimized designs will then be showcased in a Clean Pumping Fair to manufacturers and distributors. "These pumps will create a new market segment – the clean-powered, portable, cheap pump for small farmers –as a viable alternative to expensive, dirty diesel pumps,†adds Ingo Boltz, Manager, Greenpeace Innovation Lab.
Need for such renewable irrigation systems:
In India, many small-scale farmers work in areas where the electric grid is unreliable or nonexistent.  They need to pump water from the ground to irrigate their fields and the ubiquitous diesel pump is the most common choice.  The machines are initially inexpensive, but the rising cost of fuel and negative side effects like air and water pollution make these pumps costly and threatening to farmers' fragile livelihoods in the long run.
A renewable energy powered pump is a logical solution: its power source is free or low-cost and greenhouse gas emissions are minimal. But the adoption of such pumps both in India and elsewhere remains low. There is currently no pump available on the market that fully meets the needs of the Indian small farmer, with an unsubsidized price low enough to compete with the diesel pumps and be adopted widely.

With some in Congress arguing lawmakers and their staff should not get subsidies to cover their health insurance as President Obama's health care law goes into effect, the Republican senator from Kentucky told The Daily Caller on Sunday that he's going to start pushing a constitutional amendment that goes even further.

I am wanting to know the titles and authors of the 19th century books that we have to read and also the poets that we will have to study. I am also wanting to know what the English language speech will consist of. How we do that part of the exam and what the subject matter will be that we will have to talk about so that I can have the time to research it and know it inside out.
Thank you all in advance for any help that you are able to offer to me.

Anthropology invites you to learn more about other ways of life, and its study gives you a framework for looking critically at your own. A look at life in a hunting band or a Himalayan village helps bring life in our cities into focus. Looking in depth at the challenges facing indigenous and Third World peoples can help you become a better world citizen. Cultural anthropology investigates the lore and logic of other cultures.
Anthropology means not only looking out at other cultures, but looking back at our origins and what it means to be human. What needs, urges and patterns have been built into us? How and why did we change from being scavengers to hunter-gatherers to farmers to "city-zens"? Can we create a global village or are we driving to a world-long strip mall interrupted by occasional theme parks and game reserves? Physical anthropologists and archaeologists join cultural anthropologists in answering these questions.

LAHORE, Nov 8: The Punjab government on Friday sent the draft of an ordinance for approval that sought to amend the Punjab Local Government Act 2013 so as to provide for party-based local elections as per a direction by the Lahore High Court.
The original law provided for non-party local elections which the court had rejected on Thursday.
The draft was prepared by the local government department in consultation with law department officials.It was learnt that the ordinance contained a number of other amendments to the PLGA but no details could be ascertained.
Earlier in the day, Law Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan had declared that the provincial government would abide by the court ruling.
Our Sialkot correspondent adds: Speaking to journalists during a visit to the city on Friday, Punjab Law and Parliamentary Affairs Minister Rana Sanaullah aid the government respected the verdicts of the Supreme Court and the Lahore High Court and was ready to hold local elections on a party basis.
He averred that there should be no doubt about the Punjab government's intention of fairly conducting the local body polls.
The law minister also reviewed Muharram security arrangements at Adda Pasruriyaan and Mistry Abdullah imambargahs, pledging foolproof security for processions and other religious gatherings to all licence holders.
He said the government was trying its best to ensure peace and weed out terrorism from the country.
Chief Secretary Naveed Akram Cheema, Gujranwala Division Commissioner Khwaja Shamail Ahmad and Sialkot District Coordination Officer Iftikhar Ali Sahu accompanied the minister.

It's been another night of quiet consolidation around 0.7900 for the NZD/USD.
Overall, it's been a fairly tame offshore session for currency markets, as investors stopped to pause for breath following all the post-Bernanke excitement.
Still, a general bias to push the USD higher has re-emerged after some upbeat US economic data restored confidence in the US recovery. The more optimistic sentiment also pulled US bond yields and US equities higher.
However, for the moment, the NZD/USD remains fairly resistant to the headwinds of a stronger USD. Indeed, the currency essentially tracked sideways overnight in a tight 0.7850-0.7910 range.
Speculative investors appear far more inclined to express a positive USD view in those currencies with dovish central banks like the JPY, AUD, and to a lesser extent the EUR.
Both the JPY and AUD underperformed overnight, the latter not helped by various reports of Chinese authorities warning against the use of large scale stimulus.
NZD/AUD has carried on its merry way higher, and is now close to the recent 5-year highs around 0.8630.
In our Wednesday strategy note, we suggested cyclical NZD/AUD drivers are still strongly positive, and long-run valuations are not yet problematic. As a result, we remain comfortable with our forecast for further appreciation in the cross, to 0.8850 by year-end.
Near-term, momentum is positive and with the RBA likely to cut rates again on 6 August, we suspect we'll see a push through the 0.8630 highs before long.
For today, net migration and credit card billings figures will be released in NZ. Neither tends to move the currency.
However, it will be worth keeping an eye on Chinese repo markets for any evidence of the liquidity pressures that knocked back the AUD (and by association the NZD) yesterday.
Short-term resistance on the NZD/USD remains around 0.7950, with pullbacks into the 0.7830/40 window likely to attract support.

Investors' focus switched from central bank rhetoric back to the fundamentals overnight. A string of encouraging US data and corporate earnings reports buoyed sentiment, and breathed life back into the trend for a stronger USD.
Not only did the US Philly Fed index rise to the highest level since March 2011 (19.8 vs. 8.0 expected), but jobless claims dropped sharply to 334k (345k expected), close to a 5-year low.
In response, US interest rates recouped much of yesterday's Bernanke-inspired losses. 10-year Treasury yields climbed from 2.46% back to the familiar 2.55% level.
Equity markets pressed higher. The Eurostoxx 50 notched up a 1.4% gain, helped by positive UK retail sales data and a successful Spanish bond auction.
US equities are up 0.2-0.6% as the US corporate earnings season continues to impress. Of the 84 S&P500 firms that have reported their Q2 earnings to date, 55 (65%) have beaten expectations.
Overnight action in currency markets has been fairly subdued, with investors no doubt a little battle wary from all the post-Bernanke volatility. Still, the bounce in US bond yields did see a general pro-USD bias re-emerge.
USD/JPY climbed from 99.60 to almost 100.50 and EUR/USD once again encountered sellers above 1.3150. The single currency eventually settled lower around 1.3100.
The GBP (along with the CAD and NZD) was one of the few currencies to shake off the stronger USD, following some solid retail sales figures (2.2%m/m vs. 1.7% expected).
As we noted yesterday, the Fed's plan to taper QE will be a major talking point of the G20 meeting tonight and over the weekend. We can expect the usual soothing words about the global economy and a repetition of the usual line that the G20 "will not target exchange rates for competitive purposes".
We doubt there will be anything for markets to get excited about. With little else on the economic data calendar, it's shaping up as a quiet end to the week.
Event Calendar:
19 July: NZ net migration; NZ credit card billings; UK public sector borrowing.

" Address: 4/6 North Street / Guildford / Surrey / GU1 4AA "
This club formally known as Time had a huge make-over & re-fit and changed their name to Dusk. This club has been fully refurbished with a bigger and better sound system and a new light system. A new dance floor has been put down and they have designated VIP area's and booths you can hire out for birthday's or other occasions.
This club is now more modern looking and looks cleaner and brighter. As you walk into the club you see will the dance floor straight ahead of you, if you look carefully you will notice the dance-floor has sparkly pieces in the flooring which sparkle under the lights.
To the right had side there is a small bar and on the left hand side behind the DJ booth you will see another bar as well. Over to the left hand side of this bar are a disable toilet and the ladies and men's toilets. Across the dance-floor from when you walk in you will notice another bar, which I would presume is the main bar seeing as this is the biggest one in the club.
This club is probably one of the smallest clubs I have been in, how-ever there always seems to be plenty of room to move around and there are no stairs making access to the disabled easier.
Of course as this is a nightclub you do have to be over 18 to get into the club and doormen never fail to check ID if they think you look under-age. Trainers and sports-wear is not allowed in the club on any of their nights, but other dress codes vary by their nights.
If doorman believe you are already intoxicated before getting in the club they have the right to refuse you entry into the club. It is advised that you do not take large bags to the venue as these may be searched and you will have to deposit the item into the cloakroom. As with any nightclub it is also advisable that you do not leave any items unattended during the night either.
* Monday Nights - This is Guildford's number 1 student night. Drinks are just £1.30 before midnight and admission is just £4, unless you have a NUS card and then entry will be reduced to just £3. The music for the night includes Party, Dance, R'n'B & Disco. Dress code is relaxed and you can wear jeans and trainers to this event.
* Thursday Nights - This night is called vibe and is surrey's number 1 urban night, playing R'n'B, Garage & Drum and Bass. Admission is £5 all night or £4 with a NUS card and dress code is smart casual. Please note that ID is essential.
* Friday Nights - This night is called Desire and they play the best of R'n'B, Party & Dance music. Entry before 11pm is £3.50, before 12 entry is £4.50, and after 12 entry will go up to £6.50. No sportswear is allowed and you must dress to impress. Again ID is essential.
* Saturday Nights - Introducing Platinum, playing Funky House, Baseline, Smooth Grooves and dance classics. Entry before 11pm is £3.50, before 12 entry is £5.50, and after 12 entry goes to £7.50. Dress code is smart dress and no sportswear or trainers.
You can put your coat or bag into the cloakroom. Sometimes there are long queues to put your coat in and even longer queues to collect it again at the end of the night. This costs £1.50 per item, and they will give you a ticket which you must keep, as this which tell them which number your jacket/bag is. If you loose this ticket you have to wait until the end of the night, until everyone else has got their jackets until you can get yours.
They don't do a huge range of drinks but do stock Alco pops, water and bottle beer. They also have Pepsi and they do a range or Corky shots as well. They also their own brand of Red Bull, which you can choose to have with vodka if you wish. The Alco pop bottles cost about £4.00, they aren't cheap and the cherry flavour is very sweet, not only this but this flavour stains your clothes very badly as well. They do a range of flavours including, Apple, Cherry, Orange and they sell Smirnoff Ice as well.
I have to admit that this was their worst area before they had the refit, the toilets were disgusting and people were forever tripping over the carpet which was always loose. I was looking forwards to seeing the newly refurbished toilets. How-ever these look great when you walk in, but already half the toilets don't lock, some of them don't flush. Half of them leak and a lot of the lights in the toilets don't work either. I was very surprised at how quickly these toilets got vandalised. There always seem to be a lack of toilet tissue in them as well & very often I have had to use a tissue from my bag. I have also noticed empty vodka bottles in here where people have obviously sneaked their own bottles into the club and have drunk the bottles in the toilet and have left them in there.
They do have a designated smoking area. As you pay for you tickets to get into the club you will be stamped on your hand. This enables you to go in and out of the club when you wish, if you are a smoker. The smoking area is just literally outside the club on the path outside. This is ok for customers as they don't have to walk very far, but I think it blocks the path outside the club and passer's by sometimes have a job to walk through.
I had have had good nights here and bad nights here. Some nights are really good, and I have heard that Monday night's are one of the best night's to go to. I only ever go here on a Friday and Saturday and even then the majority of it will be a Saturday night with the girls.
We always put our jackets in the cloakroom and keep hold of our bags. We spend minimal waiting time at the bar before we are served by polite and friendly staff who seem more than happy to serve us. The dance-floor is normally always packed and when you do managed to get on here, a lot of the time you will be pushed/shoved about and you will be forever kicking and tripping over the bottles which have been dropped onto the dance floor. Please note that these are glass bottles as well, not plastic so if these break and someone falls over this can cut them quite badly.
On a few occasions I have been here there have been a few fights, but never anything which the door-team can't handle. If there is a fight kicking off the door-team will be there straight away and they ill taken to the nearest fire exit. I have to point out that there is a lot less trouble in here than there used to be!

Speaker P Dhanapal has convened the House on February 16 where the interim budget will be presented, Tamil Nadu Legislative Assembly Secretary AMP Jamaludeen said in a release here.
The House had earlier met for the customary Governor's address and a debate on it last month.
The assembly will meet at 11am. "Speaker P Dhanapal has summoned the assembly. On that day, the interim budget will be presented," the secretary said in a brief statement.
"We met the revenue secretary and some representatives of the commerce ministry," Ahmed, chairman of the Council for Leather Exports, told ET Magazine. "It was not like the earlier Budget discussions. They had called only three industry representatives at one time. The revenue secretary spoke to us in detail and heard our demands. There was more focus and attention paid to individual sectors," he said.

Thank you for letting Dr. Lundberg out of his holding cell! Glad to have him back..
Mona Sigal
While I have tremendous respect for Dr Willett, I profoundly disagree with his statement about the need for fish or fish oil supplements as sources for omega-3 PUFAs. The concomitant intake of sat fats and cholesterol make fish an extremely poor choice for PUFAs. Instead, ground flax seed will not only provide the perfect 3:6 PUFAs ratio of 1:4, but also the abundant amount needed by humans ( women ~1.1mg/day; men ~1.6mg/day) in just one TBS /day. Neither it is necessary to cover these needs with daily flax seed intake. In addition, flax seed provides an abundance of additional nutritional benefits..

" Manufacturer: Glen / Compact / Alimentation: Electric / 2 Heating Levels / Fan Forced / Thermostat / Anti Freeze / Carrying Handle "
Since I have recently told you about the two new heaters that we have bought for our lifeboat shop I thought it was about time I told you about my heater here at home.
At my previous house I had a medium sized conservatory fitted and, whilst it was lovely and (sometimes too) warm in summer it could get mighty cold in winter. As I used to have the family round for Christmas lunch and the conservatory was the only place to put the table I had to think about getting a decent heater.
The one that I chose was a small three kilowatt fan heater made by Glen. I can't remember how much I paid for it as I have had it for a few years now but it is currently £33.60 on Amazon.
The heater in question is a compact flat fan heater measuring just 23.8cm by 23.5cm by 11.2cm. It is white and has a carrying handle at the end opposite the heat output. It has two dials to control the temperature and also has a built in thermostat.
To use the heater it just needs to be plugged in and switched on using the two controls. One is the choice of output - either one or two - or you can set it to give an output of cool air if the room needs cooling down rather than heating up.
The other control is then turned to get the temperature to the level that you want. When this temperature is reached the fan will automatically cut out and will restart once the temperature has dropped again. The only downside, if it is the sort of thing that bothers you is the fact that, when the fan is running, this heater is a bit noisy. I have never found it to be loud enough to disturb us though.
I have used this fan heater to heat the conservatory on many occasions, sometimes when it has been extremely cold outside, and it has always risen to the challenge. The whole room would heat up quite quickly, not just the small area around the heater, although it has to be said that if you are sitting near to it the hot air is lovely on your feet!
Being so small it is light and portable so it is easy to carry from room to room so you can have the extra heat (or cool air) exactly where you need it.
Well, there isn't much else to say about this little marvel, apart from saying I wouldn't be without mine and would recommend it to anyone who needs a bit of portable heat.

Helping other people
Sometimes it's OK to forgo financial gains if you can use your money to help make the world a better place. Energy in Common is Kiva with a green twist — all the projects they offer up for investment are for renewable energy systems in the developing world. Last year I invested $25 in Edna Mganga, a restaurateur in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, who used my capital and the capital of other micro-investors to buy a solar panel system for her restaurant. Her $1,085 loan will be paid back in 12 months and will fund a solar system big enough to prevent 1 metric ton of CO2 from being produced each year.
What the deal lacks in interest (like Kiva, loans made via Energy in Common are paid back at 0 percent interest) it more than makes up for in feel-good. It's a great tool to help people like Edna Mganga reduce their energy bills while knocking out a small portion of the dirty electricity needed to fully power the grid in Dar es Salaam.
You can peruse the list of loans looking for investors at Energy in Common here. Making a loan is quick and easy and a good place for your tax return.

American Idol: Atlanta Auditions
The American Idol auditions moved to Atlanta on Wednesday, and the producers eased up on the personal stories of overcoming hardships and, while they were at it, cut from the show all but a few decent auditions. Instead the episode was an unremitting parade of yokels and loose cannons handpicked by the show not as legitimate contenders but as sure meltdowns and freakshows, propped up as easy targets in front of the judges, who in turn pummeled them with uproarious guffaws.
The most shamefully manufactured humiliation was at the expense of a simple little country fellow named Jason, who claimed he had "almost died" three times, each scenario given Unsolved Mysteries-style dramatization spoofs. The guy couldn't remember how to start the Garth Brooks song he'd planned to sing, and the judges made him stand there for several minutes while they cracked each other up trying top each others' putdowns, playing the dozens with a guy who had no interest in keeping up. It was a cheap shot in letting the poor bastard get that far.
Among legitimate contenders, however, a couple of soul singers walked away golden, including a thoroughly obnoxious attention-starved dude who calls himself "Skii Bo Ski"; he impressed everybody except Simon, though, with a snaky version of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine", despite his outward buffoonery. Far more appealing was Keia Johnson, a cute Lauryn Hill type who sang a clearly competent rendition of "My Heart Will Go On"; she's one to watch although Simon told her she belonged in the cast of Oklahoma!, one of the stranger comments of the night. And an affable singer from Joliet, IL, Jermaine Sellers offered the night's only heart-wrenching—his mother suffers from spina bifida—so he was predictably solid on Joan Osborne's "One of Us"; the end of the song deteriorated into a melismatic nightmare, but the judges bought it enthusiastically and gave him the nod. Finally, a police officer and Chicken Little lookalike from Tennessee, Bryan Walker, turned in the evening's most graceful performance on "Superstar".
Drawing from the rural hinterlands of the South, the audition was heavy on country singers, perhaps to the chagrin of a profoundly bored-looking Mary J Blige, the guest judge for this segment. Still, the night belonged to country gals, and given the success of Kellie "I Thought Europe Was a Country" Pickler and, especially, Carrie Underwood, you can't blame the show for mining for more twangy starlets, and Atlanta brought them in by the dozens. Mallorie Haley is dirty-blonde Nashville material in seven-inch heels, singing a speedy, drawly take on "Piece of My Heart"; don't bet against her any time soon. One of the oddest candidates to make it through was Holly Harden, who arrived in a doofy guitar-shaped costume. It was set up to be another laughable reject moment, but once she started singing, she discarded her squeaky Betty Boop schtick for a rich, sonorous version of Loretta Lynn's "You Ain't Woman Enough to Take My Man".
More interesting was Vanessa Wolfe, the one folks will be talking about and eager to see again once the show moves to Hollywood. A scrawny blonde from backwater Tennessee, Vanessa is as country as they get, described as a bridge jumper ("the higher, the better") because there's nothing else to do. A fish out of water in the big city, she admitted, "I don't want 'em to look down on me or nothin' like that". No way this girl could be any good. But then she was, singing a sweet, springy take on Old Crow Medicine Show's "Wagon Wheel". Vanessa will take her first "aeroplane" ride to Hollywood, and watching her transform into a contender could be one of this season's most compelling storylines.
But, again, this episode was dominated by oddities. Dewone Robinson, with a well-connected Motown legacy, stepped up and sang an original song called "Lady, We're Not Together Anymore", a title so terrible that it's awesome. Unfortunately, that particular Motown bloodline has run out. Then, two seemingly insane teenage girls, Lauren and Carmen, auditioned together after doing each other's makeup as a JonBenet tribute and whitening their teeth into oblivion. Shocking twist: Carmen made it, but Lauren didn't, forcing everyone to hug it out. Lamar Royal came with a painful, screaming version of "Kiss From a Rose", and after the judges (where was Simon?) passed on him, he flipped out and had to be escorted off the premises by Jerry Springer's bodyguards. Finally, as a special exhibition, 62-year-old General Larry Platt was allowed to audition, singing what might become America's next sensation: "Pants on the Ground", a smackdown to bagging and sagging sartorial trends. All together now...
Next stop: Chicago.

Mangaluru: Every coin has to sides. It was proved on the day of the nationwide shutdown on Wednesday, Sep 2 at the Kulur bridge.
The old Kulur bridge, constructed at the time to laying of the west coast highway in the late 1960s, has been in a very bad shape. Repair and restoration work on any normal day would have put the traffic in total disarray.
Hence they thought of making use of minimum traffic on the occasion of bandh to get repairs done to the much worn-out bridge. The eastern bridge was shut down from Tuesday night itself.
However, the idea was not a total success. Traffic was allowed only on the western wing with the hope that there would not be heavy vehicles plying on the day.
But a large number of private vehicles had to ply on a single-way system, which resulted in jams every now and then, especially in the morning and evening.

to all who have been urging me/others to try Thai Boom on Venice in Culver City, I must say a hearty, "THANK YOU. THANK YOU. THANK YOU."
Hole in the wall vibe, a location that would not inspire much hope and a door hanger menu that is too close to the standard awful glop Westside Thai place - and yet, Thai Boom is not Westside Thai, unless that means the Westside of Hat Yai or Bangkok.
Finally, a place near enough to my place that is worth my time and reminds me of the food I miss from my days in BKK.
They have also been very nice and delivered for free to my place near Olympic/Sawtelle.
Last night we had green curry with fried tofu, squid with ginger and mushrooms, shrimp/crab with glass noodles in clay pot (well, no clay pot for delivery), shrimp with cashews and spicy fried rice. Since I used the English translations of the dish names, that list sounds tame and lame. Don't fret - this is good stuff. A friend of ours from Thailand was over last night and she was heading to Thailand today - and for some perverse reason we subjected her to Westside Thai - and she judged the food excellent.
Also, we had a lot of food and I estimate the cost to have been about 60% of what the same amount of food from Chan Dara would cost (and the food was better by far).
This was my 4th meal at/from Thai Boom in a few weeks and I have only had one disappointment: look chim bpla (fish balls). Just not very tasty, especially compared to a great batch we picked up at LAX-C recently (and LAX-C is another great place I found through Chowhound).

I recently inherited a car from a relative who passed away. It's a 2003 BMW 325ci with 42K miles. It's a sweet car to drive, but not super practical. Insurance costs a lot, it only takes premium gas, mpg isn't great, and when it starts to break I know it's going to cost a ton to repair.
I'm interested in selling or trading in this car to buy something that's better on gas, cheaper to insure, and cheaper to repair. I'm thinking about something along the lines of a Hyundai Elantra with the hatchback so I can fit some shit in it when I take trips. I'm estimating my car to be worth around $10K, and would like to avoid spending more than that if possible.
Any recommendations? What do you guys drive?
The two most practical vehicles I owned was a 97 Ford Ranger, and a 93 Acura Integra Hatchback. The Integra got 35 mpg, and had plenty of storage space. I fit everything I owned into it a few times when moving (minus furniture).
I was pleasantly surprised with the overall experience of the Hyundai Sonata, but not sure how well that works for storage. I never drove an Elantra, but I'd imagine it's comparable.
The hatchback is a nice option, although over time as the seals break down, you might experience increased wind noise and possibly even water leaks in the trunk.
Personally, I drive an Infiniti G, and my girlfriend drives a Mercedes SLK, neither of which are particularly practical by your definition. But, um, if you're ever in the market, I recommend test driving both of those.
Buy a Toyota!
Or Honda.
Or Nissan.
lol at a 325 with no miles being unpractical. get a beige camry, or a beige minivan, i hear those are super awesome.
Doesn't seem like a terribly impractical car.
Seems you may be overestimating the value, though that is pretty low mileage. http://www.edmunds.com/bmw/3-series/2003/
I had looked it up on KBB and looked at Carmax and Ebay motors, but since I haven't actually tried selling it or taken it to a dealer, who knows.
Drove a Nissan Xterra for a while and totally loved it, but while it made a lot of sense when I was teaching at different college campuses, completing a second grad degree, still hitting the gym each day, and shuttling my 2 dogs around town (I was basically living out of my car), it's been far from practical for a while.
I just recently picked up a Subaru Crosstrek. Great gas mileage (~35 hw), great safety ratings, great storage, and drives smooth as hell. Now the wife and I keep joking that we need to take more weekend trips and really emulate the "subaru-people" in all the commercials.
I had a Camry for a while. It was a pretty solid car. A minivan would be dope but tough on gas mileage, and probably more car than I really need right now. Thanks for the advice!
I'll take a look, that sounds like what I'm looking for. Thanks!

A minivan dope? what kind of blasphemy is this??!!
Can't go wrong with Accord or even Civic.
If you're looking for a hatchback, don't forget the Mazda 3 or VW Golf.
You're car is definitely worth $10k to the right person, try listing it on a BMW enthusiast site like Bimmerforums. For the right person, a low mileage, unmolested 3 series coupe is a good find.
A dealer won't give you anything for it, they'll turn it around and sell it at auction.
Repairs on a car you own outright are almost always cheaper than payments on a car you don't really own.
Not Nissan, blown head gasket at 116,000 miles....Slightly costly.
It depends on what you want. Do you want a cool car or just dependable transportation. Are you a car guy? If you don't care what you drive then don't waste your money on the bimmer. If you appreciate well engineered cars with power and excellent chassis design then you cannot go wrong with a bimmer.It depends on who you are. I like bitchin' cars, so I would be willing to absorb the extra cost for the joy of the drive. But if you are an a to b kind of person, get an a to b kind of car.
A 42K BMW just might go for 90K miles before it needs anything big and no car payment all that time. Give you a couple years to save up a good down payment on something else.
I'd skip the Nissans too. I have 2 Altimas, which were good until about 95K and 125K miles. Then everything breaks.
The new Civic looks great. If you can wrap your head around a Hyundai, look at the Kias. They were bought out by Hyundai.
2014 Mazda 6 - 40MPG (advertised Highway, but they really do get close to this), bigger than an elantra, and way cooler.
Nissan - My parents both have 08 altimas with the 2.5L 4-CYL/CVT, they are really nice cars (I'd pick it above honda)Honda- Always Solid, however due to their reputation, EXPENSIVEToyota - GTFO, pedestrian cars!! you will fall asleep while driving it and kill yourself. OVER-RATED reliability/longevity wise!
I have an 06 Mazda 6/ V6 and I feel like a million bucks everytime I get in it (every bell/whistle available), shes been great!I had a 98 Camry with 150K miles and It had WAY more problems than my old 96 MAzda 626 had with 180K on it.
Get a car you will love (standard brand with all the options, holds its value best) and keep it as long as possible.
American cars don't count....uh oh here come the torches!
yup, ELANTRA = OPTIMA with different styling...I think the optimas look prettycharp/futuristic...it's all about those ACUTE angles
I like my Nissan Rogue. I actually bought it because if its excellent safety ratings as I was in a pretty bad car accident in 2007. It has plenty of storage, decent gas mileage, good in snow, and dependable thus far (only at 50K miles though).

Brook no delay in reforming UN Security Council: IndiaJune 7th, 2011 - 6:15 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, June 7 (IANS) India Tuesday pushed hard for expansion of the UN Security Council and exhorted the world to "brook no delay" in carrying forward the long overdue reforms of the 192-nation global body.
"An overwhelming majority of UN member-states has repeatedly expressed themselves in favour of expansion of the Security Council in both its permanent and non-permanent categories and an improvement in its working methods," External Affairs Minister S.M. Krishna said at the 10th meeting of foreign ministers of the 46-nation Asia-Europe (ASEM) inter-regional dialogue forum in Godollo, Hungary.
"It is imperative that all the countries of Asia and Europe solidly support an expansion in both categories and collectively push for real reform of the Security Council," he stressed.
Krishna underlined a new urgency for reform of the global body ahead of the next session of the UN General Assembly in New York in September when the issue is expected to top the agenda.
"The time for this reform has not only come, it is imperative that we brook no delay as that will only be at the expense of the United Nations, which is not in the interest of any of us, individually or collectively," he said.
The minister also criticised vacillation on the UN reforms for the last two decades, saying much of this time was spent in an endless open-ended working group.
"However, the text-based inter-governmental negotiations that started last year have now brought us to a turning point where we can move things forward with real negotiations on Council reform," he said.
Calling for revitalisation of the UN General Assembly, Krishna said the structure of the Security Council continued to reflect post Second World War and not contemporary realities.
"This detracts severely from its legitimacy. It also does not allow it to harness the benefits from the shifts in the global power balance in the last 65 years," he said.

Polamalu sits out Steelers' practice, expected to miss Thursday's game
Steelers strong safety Troy Polamalu did not practice today, all but assuring that he will not play Thursday night against the visiting Carolina Panthers.
Polamalu, who is expected to miss a second consecutive game because of a lower leg injury, watched the last half hour of practice today and will be a spectator when the Steelers try to improve to 11-4 Thursday at Heinz Field.
Ryan Mundy, a Woodland Hills High graduate, is again expected to start in place of Polamalu.
Tight end Heath Miller, who has missed the last two games because of post-concussion symptoms, is on track to return to action after practicing today. His availability for the game against the Panthers is contingent on Miller not experiencing exercise-induced headaches prior to Thursday.
"Hopefully all goes well and we'll be ready to roll," Miller said.
There apparently won't be any changes on the offensive line after left tackle Jonathan Scott got pulled for Trai Essex late in the Steelers' 22-17 loss to the New York Jets last Sunday.
"I'm anticipating everything will be the same as it has been," said Essex, who has played guard, tackle and even some tight end this season. "It's been kind of crazy this year but whatever position they want me to play I'll play."

Indonesia: Reform of religious schools
Source:Amana Media Initiative
Islamic boarding schools in Indonesia are moving to promote a sense of civic nationalism alongside religious education to help stop violence committed in the name of religion, reports AMANA.
A conference of leaders from traditional Islamic boarding schools, or pesantren, around Indonesia has agreed upon the inclusion of civic education within the schools, to encourage ideas of the rights of all citizens regardless of religion or background.
The decision arose due to concerns that the use of violence in the name of religion was increasing, the Jakarta Post reported.
Clerics from the Muslim organisation Nadlatul Ulama also called for a dialogue with hardliners to discuss concepts such as jihad (Islamic holy war), dzimmi (non-Muslims living in Islamic states) and kafir (infidel) and their definition in a modern context.
Pesantren have often been subject to accusations of inciting extremism in the past, however the majority of the approximately 14,000 schools in Indonesia teach a moderate form of Islam.

Sure, Mark Zuckerberg and pals launched Facebook in 2004, but NewMusicBox was already cruising into its 5th anniversary by that point. For the traditionalists in the house, the appropriate gift is wood, which we needed because the year was rife with arguments over fences. That's right—I'm talking about of the blurring of genre lines.
The launch of New Amsterdam Records was still four years off, but the chatter surrounding this muddying of artistic indicators had already turned our heads. Of course this wasn't exactly an original concept way back in 2004 either, but technology and easily accessible programs such as GarageBand were changing the landscape. With the broader availability of basic tools, gates were opening and an increasing number of music makers were walking through. Could the cost of and aptitude for lengthy training (which limited participation in certain kinds of music making) be circumvented, or at least mitigated, by software? This seemed to get everyone thinking.
We here at NewMusicBox were certainly thinking about the opportunities that rapidly developing tech and web interconnectivity offered. When the site launched in 1999, it was meant to serve as a national gathering place and resource for an industry often siloed in discrete geographic pockets. It might be difficult to rewind to a time when personal music blogs were still considered "experimental" now that we're ankle deep into a discussion of their decline, but there was an energy and excitement to these new and strengthening virtual relationships. Though this was also the year that the performing arts pooled their knowledge under a single convention center roof in Pittsburgh for some real-world problem solving, music makers and fans were sharing their sounds and ideas with one another regardless of zip code in ever-growing numbers—fueled by passion and linked by an internet connection.
The field may have drawn some strength from this increasingly connected community of colleagues, but there were still lines in the sand—even if the winds of change were making them harder to see. There was an appreciation by an impressive list of thinkers for music that was personally important to them even though it remained professionally "other." There were those ready to pull down the barriers between pop and classical, but there were still those defending the disappearing divider. For those so up-close-and-personal with the music that it was difficult to label anything accurately, there were guidelines for that. Still, whether we liked it or not, the music seemed to be telling us that the new common practice was no common practice at all. Even the Pulitzer Prize board admitted that it was time to make some adjustments. There were rules, and they were being torn up and rearranged in the quest for new music. But if we were expecting pop music to enter the new music arena and save our industry from obsolescence, we were strongly advised not to hold our breath.
