Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif said on Tuesday his government plans to launch air-conditioned buses in seven major cities of the Punjab. The announcement came on Tuesday during a meeting with Lahore Transport Company Chairman Khawaja Ahmad Hassaan and Bus Rapid Transit System Chairman Mehar Ishtiaq.
The Planning and Development Board chairman, Transport and Finance Departments secretaries, divisional commissioners, Lahore Development Authority director general, the district coordination officer and National Engineering Services Pakistan (Pvt) Limited representatives were also present.
A Chief Minister's Secretariat spokesperson told The Express Tribune that several decisions were taken in the meeting regarding the air-conditioned bus service, establishing the Bus Rapid Transit Authority and modernising the public transport system in the province.
The chief minister while addressing the meeting said that the provision of affordable and comfortable transport facilities to the masses was one of the government's priorities. He said that air-conditioned CNG public transport buses will soon be launched in Lahore, Faisalabad, Bahawalpur, Multan, Rawalpindi, Gujranwala and Sialkot.
He said that 350 buses had so far been imported from Turkey. Out of these, he said, 200 had arrived in Lahore last week. The remaining were undergoing the clearance process in Karachi. The chief minister said that the service would soon be launched in collaboration with the private sector.
The chief minister said that a proposal to launch a bus service up to Wagha border was also under consideration. He also directed the district coordination officers to take special measures for regulating traffic in their districts.
He said that establishing a certified parking company was the need of the hour. He said it would soon be set up under the city district government, which would be responsible for safe and suitable parking arrangements at various points in the city.
The chief minister said that the Bus Rapid Transit Authority would run a Metro Bus Service. He said that the Metro Bus Service would prove a paradigm shift in the public transport system in the country.
He also directed the officers concerned to make necessary arrangements to accommodate the disabled and senior citizens. He said besides installation of electronic ticketing in Metro Bus Service, proper training will be given to its staff.
"A Metro Bus would be available every two minutes," he added.
Later, Hassaan briefed the chief minister on various aspects of the Bus Rapid Transit System.

Gagne looking for a return to Dodger Blue
Gagne looking for a return to Dodger Blue
General manager Ned Colletti said that his scouts have seen Gagne throw but that the club has not made an offer or decided whether it would. Gagne also reportedly has contacted the Rockies, who are managed by Jim Tracy, Gagne's skipper during his glory years with Los Angeles.
The Dodgers' bullpen is loaded -- with Jonathan Broxton, George Sherrill, Hong-Chih Kuo and Ronald Belisario, among others -- and the 40-man roster is full. Thus Gagne would have to make the club on a Minor League contract.
Gagne, 34, is the greatest closer in Dodgers history, a fan favorite, the National League Cy Young Award winner in 2003, a three-time All-Star and holder of baseball's all-time record of 84 consecutive save conversions.
He singlehandedly disrupted the traditional tendency of fans to leave home games early to avoid traffic, as they preferred to stay and watch "Game Over" Gagne, who entered the field to the blaring sound of Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle."
But his career spiraled downward, beginning with elbow surgery in 2005, then another elbow operation and back surgery in 2006, after which he left the Dodgers as a free agent. In 2007, Gagne was linked to performance-enhancing drug use when named in the Mitchell Report.
Gagne made stops in Texas, Boston and Milwaukee after leaving Los Angeles. After pitching for the Brewers in 2008, he was released during Spring Training of 2009 with a slight tear in his rotator cuff that he rehabbed without surgery.
Last year he played for the Quebec Capitales of the independent Can-Am League as a starting pitcher/coach. In 17 starts (102 2/3 inning) he went 6-6 with a 4.65 ERA and 64 strikeouts. (Gagne originally was a starter for the Dodgers before moving to the bullpen in 2002.)
A native Canadian, Gagne lives in Scottsdale, Ariz., and visited the Dodgers' training complex at Camelback Ranch-Glendale last spring after being released by the Brewers.

Hammertime is a reality TV show on the A&E Network about M.C. Hammer and his family, produced by 3Ball Productions Inc.[1] The title comes from the lyrics of Hammer's song "U Can't Touch This" (which became a popular culture catchphrase used in many television shows and movies), as well as his nickname.[1] Unlike previous shows Hammer was involved with, Hammertime focused only on him and his family who are living in Tracy, California in a large ranch-style abode situated on a two-acre corner lot.[2] At the time the show began, Hammer and his wife Stephanie had been married for over 25 years and raising six children: Bobby, Jeremiah, Sammy, Sarah, A'keiba (eventually spending some time at college) and nephew Jamaris; along with his cousin Marv co-starring.[2][3][4] After Hammer's personal superstar status, he wanted to involve his entire family with him for this project. Hammer served as one of the executive producers for the show.[5] The series premiered June 14, 2009, airing on Sundays at 10 PM EST. For the first season, 11 episodes and a bonus 12th were ordered. Webisodes can still be viewed on the network's website.[3]
On July 30, 2009, Hammer's cousin "Bigg Marv" was arrested on rape charges after being accused by a woman he had met online.[4] With over a million followers, Hammer utilized his Twitter page to call the charges 'pure nonsense' and expressed his thoughts on the arrest. He tweeted: "Marv has been picked up. We're standing by him. Welcome to Fame Cousin Marv. We're praying for you". He went on to say, "Thanks for your Prayers for Bigg Marv. He's a good guy, he has not been exposed to the 'World of Fame' where you become 'The Prey'."[5] Some speculate that the show was cancelled because of Marv's rape case.[6][7] In June 2010, the charges against Marv were dropped and the case dismissed.[8][9]
The premiere averaged a very modest 1.123 million on Sunday night at 10pm. It wasn't among the 15 most-watched shows on A&E. Many fans liked the show, but some people claimed they weren't aware of it. Other critics reported having seen sufficient promotion/advertising for the show.[10]

I'm impressed with Doctor Greaux and his experience with Scoliosis. Most Chiropractors are passionate about health and well being, but to get the CLEAR training to treat and educate his patients is an honest dedication to natural health. I'm so happy and grateful we found him!
Dr. Alex and his staff are truly amazing. My son has been a patient here for almost two years. If you are hesitant to start treatment for your child….DON'T! Dr. Alex has really invested time in my son's treatment. He is even making special equipment for him, since what he needs isn't currently on the market. We have recently returned from a Summer Boot Camp and Kaleb's curve went from 41 degrees to 31 degrees in one week. We are blessed to have found this clinic.
I want to share my experience with my 10 year old daughter Maia, so it can help other parents dealing with Scoliosis.
Maia was diagnosed with Scoliosis and we as a family where completely shocked since we didn't have any idea of what scoliosis was and the severe complications it could arise in a person's life if you don't take the correct steps.
We immediately started searching for opinions locally in our country and each doctor we visited gave us a completely different opinion and each one was making us more and more nervous. We arrived at a point that we really didn't know what to do.
Searching on the web we found SFSC and after getting all the info we needed, we decided in less than two weeks to fly to Miami and take the Intensive Care treatment. I have to admit that we had our doubts since in our country the doctors told us not to do anything related with chiropractics since there where no scientific studies that proved it worked in Scoliosis cases.
Anyway, we left everything in God's hands and decided to start the treatment.
Today I can say, thank God we made that decision!
On Maia's first Xray she had a curve of 43 degrees and after 2 weeks of intensive treatment we got a reduction of 10 degrees and now she is 33 degrees. We are in the process of the 90 days of exercises at home and even though we haven't had further xrays (we will get them after the 90 days home treatment), I can see she keeps improving.
So far we are very happy with the results.
About our experience at the center I can say that we are more than pleased with the staff, they are just GREAT, extremely kind, very professional and always willing to help you or inform you of any doubt or concern you could have.
Dr. Greaux is just amazingly professional and makes you feel very comfortable during the whole process and is always available even with the home follow up, and most importantly he explains anything you need to know to understand that scoliosis is a condition and that can really be treated without surgery.
I want to thank you all once again for your kind attention and if you have any mother that needs to get feedback from the treatment, I will be more than happy to help her.
Best regards!
At the end of the week intensive, my daughter's reward was that her curve had reduced from 22 degrees to 15 degrees!!! She also achieved substantial progress in increasing the proper mobility and shape of her neck. We are overjoyed! While she is momentarily out of the danger zone, we most certainly recognize the importance of continuing the home therapy precisely per the instructions of Dr. Greaux, or else the curve could once again escalate into total devastation. We are so grateful to Dr. Greaux and all of his staff for their hard work and dedication to pioneer advances in non-surgical scoliosis treatment, especially in the face of hostility from many orthopedic surgeons. In fact, my husband, daughter and I cannot wait for our next appointment with the orthopedist so we can share our own success story with the hopes of persuading him to reconsider his position that "therapy is a scam." Read more here.
This is the best treatment and alternative to a back operation for scoliosis I've ever come across. I have had scoliosis since childhood, and noticed that as I've aged the scoliosis pain had become acute. So painful that after using my right arm for a few hours during routine household chores and painting at my easel that I had to lie down on my bed or lie in a bath of hot water to try and ease the pain. Many times I would burst into tears because the pain was so powerful. I found this wonderful clinic by pure chance on the web, while searching for relief during a painful episode – or maybe not by chance – I'm thankful everyday for the wonderful and caring staff I encounter there during every visit. I wish this had been available when I was little. I'm more than happy with the results. And no more pain! Thank you for being there
After being diagnosed with scoliosis in my 60s, I was given only one option by several orthopedic physicians: i.e. surgery. I read about the work that Dr. Greaux has done with scoliosis and was interested in any alternative to surgery.
I am so very impressed with Dr. Greaux' expert approach and demeanor. When I express that I am in pain, he goes to extreme measures to try new techniques. He is always positive, forward-looking, and professional. I have more trust in his expertise then in any physician I have gone to.
It is a pleasure to enter the office. The entire staff are always extremely friendly, caring, and accommodating, they are knowledgeable about scoliosis and very capable of implementing specified individualized programs. Lisa, as office manager, is always warm, and communicates with all the patients.
I cannot imagine a more professional, expert, caring atmosphere in a health office setting.
As always, my daughter and I are 100% dedicated to following the CLEAR method and intend to be a successful case study for others to observe and learn from. We are determined to get her curve under 10 degrees. In fact, I am happy to report that even her dancing has improved enormously from the therapy!! You can't imagine the super grin she had slapped on her face after privates on Thursday! For me, that's priceless.
We love you and your staff Dr. Greaux, and we are ever so grateful.
Dr. Greaux, you're an Angel I don't understand how I've traveled all around the world and didn't know about you and then I have to travel half way across the world for this treatment.. I would do it 100 times over. It was an amazing experience.
Dr. Greaux has had a huge impact on my entire family's life. I have always suffered from neck pain, back pain,
sleep issues and other residual pains from scoliosis. I lead a very active lifestyle, but it was extremely limited by chronic pain. I had been treated by other chiropractors in the past-and would get relief-but it was only temporary. With Dr. Greaux's unique scoliosis correction approach , I am healthier and stronger now than I was in my 30's!
My children have been patients for years as well; and my 16 year old son recently completed a successful week at the scoliosis boot camp. We are extremely grateful for Dr. Alex and his amazing brain! 🙂
I will save and share your website with anyone having same problem as my son has. This is a great program and it should be absolutely used by anyone with such disorder prior going w/brace or having surgery.
Many thanks to you for taking care of him, you are a wonderful person and absolutely an amazing doctor. Moreover, I would like to extend my gratitude to all people from your office for their warm and understanding attitude and for helping Elvin on every step of the way, we had a great experience at your office.

It's Started: Parents To Be Can Choose Shared Parental Leave
Mums and dads with babies born on or after the 5th of April 2015 can start sharing up to 50 weeks of parental leave, parents to be have to start thinking about what they're going to do and discussing it with their employers.
Shared Parental Leave (or SPL) will, for the first time in the UK, allow new dads to be entitled to take more time off work than they have been able to in the past.
Are my partner and I eligible?
You can find out by checking this link*
What will we be paid?
The existing right to statutory maternity pay will be transferred to SPL. Mothers currently receive 90% of their normal salary for the first six weeks and then a statutory £138 a week for the next 33 weeks. Fathers will be paid a share of the money depending on how much time they choose to take off.
There are various combinations available to new parents. They can choose to take time off together or alone but are required to give their bosses at least 8 weeks notice of their intentions.
While this gives couples more freedom and control over their family life and indeed their finances, how easily will it transfer into practice?
New families will be able to decide what's right for them, giving them more control and that's got to be a good thing surely?
Will you and your partner be choosing Shared Parental Leave? We'd love to hear your thoughts.

text: LOL Funny you say that.... I just put on night sights about 2 weeks ago. While the sights were off, I took it to the range, just to see how hard it would be to shoot. It wasn't hard at all. The flat top of the slide and the squared sides made it easy to get on target- just put the flat of the slide below what I wanted to hit, same as with regular sights, only, the sights themselves weren't in the way. I was tempted to just run it sightless, but if I were to have to use it, the lack of sights could be used against me in court.

Today I am taking a look at one of their latest cases, actually released in the second half of last year, the H2gO. In the words of Mountain Mods, the H2gO is "designed for the enthusiast on the go. Measuring up to 17 inches deep, 13.5 inches tall and 12.75 inches wide, makes this case highly portable without sacrificing in the cooling or technology departments." The box the H2gO came shipped in certainly didn't match the typical computer case shipping container; a plain brown cube with no exterior markings to indicate what's inside. I always liked this about one other manufacturer, Thermalright, who for years has used plain brown boxes to pack their products in. I think it says something about the company, something to the effect of... we'd rather spend our money on making you a great product than flashy advertising on the box it comes in.
Join me as I take a closer look at the Mountain Mods H2gO.

Hedberg Public Library opens travel resource center
Today, they are housed in one area�the Great Escapes Travel Resource Center.
The new center is easy to spot: its bookshelves are decorated with globes, maps, postcards and suitcases housed in one of the library's half-dozen "neighborhood" sections.
"These are books that got lost in the regular sections of the library," said Carol Kuntzelman, head of technical services and collections manager.
To highlight the items, they were pulled from the far back corner of the library's collection and placed between adult fiction and nonfiction�behind do-it-yourself materials�where they are more visible and more easily accessible.
"This is a one-stop shop," Kuntzelman said.
The center features DVDs, books, travel guides and atlases containing information on area tourist sites, plus hotel and restaurant information. Travel magazines soon will be added, she said.
Public response has been good, Kuntzelman said.
"Now that we've got signage, it's less confusing to find them (the travel items)," she said.
Also housed within the new center are five travel totes that focus on the country's most popular destinations: Orlando, Las Vegas, New York City, Chicago and the state of Wisconsin. Each contains durable maps, travel guides, DVDs, and lists of websites and digital download information.
"If they are popular, we will create some (totes) for foreign destinations because we know everybody likes things bundled," said Elizabeth Hough, library public information coordinator.
While travel information is available online and through travel agencies, Kuntzelman and Hough point out the new center's advantages.
"The library has all the resources together at your fingertips that have been handpicked by skilled staff. And it's free,'' Hough said.
Materials are kept up-to-date, saving research time cand the expenses of buying travel guides and paying for computer paper and ink.
Would-be travelers also can download free travel eBooks, audio books, movies and more from the link to Overdrive on the library's home page, all without leaving the comfort of their homes. Kuntzelman said the library added 300 new downloadable travel titles in September.

There are no District 52 Little League Major all-stars games scheduled for the Fourth of July. No need. There were plenty of fireworks in Saturday's tourney opener when Palo Alto American outslugged Menlo Atherton 16-14 at Kiwanis Field in Redwood City. The teams combined for 10 home runs and 35 hits in a game that lasted nearly three hours.
Palo Alto American, which edged Foster City 7-5 on Sunday, takes on Belmont-Redwood Shores in a winners bracket contest at Kiwanis Field on Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. Menlo Atherton rebounded to eliminate Ravenswood-East Palo Alto 11-1 on Sunday. Menlo Atherton ripped San Mateo National Monday night 20-6 in five innings. Menlo Atherton battles Palo Alto National at Kiwanis Field on Thursday at 5:30 p.m.
The explosions started right off the bat with Menlo Atherton's Charlie Giesler sending a skyrocket down the left field line for a solo homer. Solo home runs were the theme for Menlo Atherton, which hit six of them. Sam Weseloh drove one over the right-center field fence for back-to-back jacks.
The duo repeated the deed to begin the third inning. Giesler blasted one deep to center field, while Weseloh clouted a tape-measure shot to left-center, the ball traveling an estimated 280 feet. Weseloh was the only player in the game with five hits as he added three singles and a third RBI.
The bottom of the third was the turning point. Eric Aboytes laid a bunt down for a base hit. Ben Civjan, who had a two-run double down the right field line in the first inning, blooped a single to center. A walk to Sam Sloan was followed by an RBI single through the box by winning pitcher Aidan Berger. PA American manager Ryan Valenti inserted Kyle Mostofizadeh, who quickly got behind in the count 0-2, with the bases loaded. Mostofizadeh swung at the next pitch, sending one well over the right field fence for a grand slam and an 8-4 lead.
"I didn't think I was going to do anything," Mostofizadeh said. "I thought I was going to get a base hit because the fence is really high. I decided to put bat on ball."
In the bottom of the fifth, Mostofizadeh hit the right field fence for a double, driving in three more runs for a seven-RBI day. He singled and scored in the fourth inning, falling a triple short of the cycle after coming off the bench.
PA American extended its lead in that fourth inning to 12-5, keyed by successive homers by Civjan and Sam Sloan, his second home run of the game.
PA American led 16-8 entering the top of the sixth inning, but that didn't faze Menlo Atherton. Devin Ghumman homered to left-center to lead off the inning. Singles by Will Moldow, who had three hits, and Ryan Miles got a run home. Weseloh's fifth hit loaded the bases. A walk to Daniel Burke brought in a run, the second time Burke walked with the bases jammed. Jake Albro walked to force in another run, as did Ghumman. Ian Collins worked a walk against Mostofizadeh, who came in to relieve as Menlo Atherton had the tying run to second base.
Mostofizadeh got the final out on a ground out to first baseman Sonny Young, who stepped on the bag to end a draining tourney opener. Young showed tremendous speed as a leadoff hitter, beating out three hits and doubling in a fourth-inning run in a four-hit performance.
"It was a battle between two heavyweights," Menlo Atherton manager Chris Weseloh said. "The difference was that they hit their homers with men on base and we didn't."
"We have to respect Menlo Atherton," Sloan said. "They matched us the whole way through. We never had the game locked up."

A year after Cameron Crowe climbed back aboard the tour bus for one last spin through rock's golden days of giddy hedonism and phony heroism comes a film set a decade later, in the mid-1980s, when the parties got harder, the music louder and the musicians prettier. The world of Rock Star is one that Crowe's young stand-in from Almost Famous, William, would probably flee out of terror and pity; his golden gods have been replaced by makeup-wearing, chain-mail-sporting cock-rock clowns with hair more teased than a third-grader with a stutter. They're quite famous indeed but hollow icons at best, jukebox zeroes without a groupie in one hand and a vial of blow in the other. They're dispensable cutouts easily replaced by any wanna-be in the audience who knows all the words and knows how to shout them to the devil.
Ask singer Rob Halford, who left Judas Priest at the beginning of the '90s to be replaced by an Ohio kid who once dreamed of being Rob Halford. Rock Star is -- and isn't -- the story of Tim "Ripper" Owens, the Akron office-supply salesman who went from fronting a Judas Priest tribute band (never say cover band) to fronting the Priest, a fantasy made tangible with a single phone call. Owens's tale, recounted in a July 1997 New York Times piece, comes complete with the happiest of leather-clad endings; it goes Behind the Music, sans the overdoses and car wrecks. After replacing Halford, Owens went on tour with the Priest, recorded two albums as the band's lead singer and was recently married -- a fairy tale for the Metal Edge crowd, down to Owens's insistence upon staying in Akron and hanging with his old pals at the local chicken-wing eatery. That regular-guy routine is part of Owens's allure: He is the audience's surrogate, the one fan lucky enough to live the daydream.
Rock Star tells the same story -- indeed, the exact same story -- until it ransacks the grab bag of rock 'n' roll clichés for its second half, which plays like one of those VH1 biopics about Def Leppard starring Anthony Michael Hall. Writer John Stockwell changes names (Tim "Ripper" Owens becomes Chris "Izzy" Coles, played by reformed rapper Mark Wahlberg), settings (Akron becomes Pittsburgh), genres (the Priest's metal edge has been dulled to sound more like Poison) and eras (the mid-'90s give way to the mid-'80s). For the most part, it stays faithful to the fable: Chris's mother, like Tim's, runs a day-care center out of her home; Chris sells office supplies, and he fronts a tribute band that mimics, down to every last sustained note and squeal, his idols (a hair band named Steel Dragon, made up of Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde and Jason Bonham, son of late Led Zep drummer John Bonham). Chris, thanks to a videotape made by two groupies, is invited to front the band when the Dragon's lead singer, Bobby Beers (Jason Flemyng) is ousted after being outed, a reference to Halford's coming out of the closet in 1995.
Rock Star
Rated R
For a while, Rock Star lets us in on the thrill of living the dream -- even if that means wearing someone else's clothes and singing someone else's words exactly the way he did. Chris is so obsessed with getting Bobby right that he manages to alienate his own band; he'd rather pick an onstage fight with his guitarist than let him play one wrong note in public. He refuses to write his own songs, but he's meant for bigger things than a tribute band. Wahlberg plays Chris like a superstar trapped in Mom and Dad's suburbia; he even swaggers in his sleep. But when invited to Steel Dragon's mansion for an audition, he and his faithful girlfriend-manager, Emily (Jennifer Aniston), can't make it through the hallway without ogling the guitars and platinum albums that adorn the walls and trophy cases. He's Alice in heavy-metal wonderland.
But Stockwell and director Stephen Herek (responsible for Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure, the ultimate dope-rock fantasy) aren't content with letting Chris live out the dream, which is why Owens has voiced his displeasure with Rock Star. Theirs is less a movie about a (would-be) rock star than it is a movie about rock movie clichés. They haul out the groupies and orgies and booze and blow like dressing-room caterers; they never let Chris enjoy the ride, not when they're too busy trying to throw him under the tour bus. The movie portrays Chris as a naïf so bereft of probity and personality he destroys the dream just as he begins to live it. He's a fool who believes he's the band and not just some singer-for-hire, and the movie sets about to tear him down before it ever builds him up. It revels in his humiliation.

It's as though Herek and Stockwell felt that to make a "serious" rock movie, they had to capitulate to the genre's worst excesses, and so we're treated to countless scenes of dance-floor orgies, backstage "pussy passes," drug binges, trashed hotel rooms and blood transfusions. Herek has made a bloated concept album about faith and redemption and has left off all the good songs -- the ones that make you wanna pump your fist in the air, wave your Bic and scream for vengeance. Rock Star takes itself so seriously it becomes full-on parody -- This Is Spinal Tap as a sanctimonious cautionary tale. And how rock 'n' roll is that?

Mahaffey benefit rescheduled due to conflict
A benefit for Charlie Mahaffey has been moved to 2 p.m. Sunday due to a conflict of a playoff game for the Mount Vernon baseball team this past weekend.
The Mahaffey fundraiser will be held at Mount Vernon's ballpark. It will still feature softball, floats and haircuts with a live auction.
Charlie Mahaffey will be a junior at Mount Vernon High School this fall. The fundraiser will help the family deal with mounting medical expenses due to heart problems.
The fundraiser is being sponsored by Davison County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and friends of Charlie Mahaffey. Supplemental funds from the Davison County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Modern Woodmen of America have been applied for.
If the weather is uncooperative, the fundraiser will move to the Tom Young Community Center of Mount Vernon and the sporting activity will be volleyball. For more information, call Mindy Ehrke at 236-5305.

In our area wedding ceremony is an activity which took place when there is a mutual consent between a man and a woman who agreed to become husband and wife. The marriage contract must be witnessed by certain male witnesses in front of the guardian of the wife and that of the husband.
It is normally conducted in a Mosque or outside the house of the guardian of the bride.
People especially friends and relatives gathered in that place in order to witness the marriage contract. Cola notes were distributed during the wedding ceremony and then prayers were offered for the successful marriage life of the couple. Then people depart to their activities.
Women both young and old gathered in the bride ës parent house to celebrate the marriage ceremony, different types of food were brought by friends and relatives to the brideís house.
Then in the night the bride would be escorted to the bridegroomís house by her friends and relatives.
See the attachment.
In our area when a person is dead , people will be shocked and with grief especially those that are close to the deceased i.e friends and relatives .Immediately the death is known/ascertained ,close relations ,friends, Muslim brothers and sisters will converge to the deceased ës house for preparations of his burial . No much time is wasted ,immediately the death has been confirmed the preparations begun.
The deceased body will be washed by his relations according to Islamic rites, then a white wrapper will be used to cover the whole of his body.
Then he/she will be put into a traditional stretcher and will be taken out from his/her home for the funeral prayer. The Imam and rest of the Muslims will put the dead body in front of them and start the prayer which is purposely for seeking forgiveness to the deceased.
After the prayer ,the corpse will be taken on shoulders and on feet to the grave yard where the dead body will be laid down in his/her grave. The grave will be covered with broken pots and wet sand and elevated up a little for identification. No cement is required and no any expenses is required in digging the grave but only volunteers who were given incentives if so wish as charity.
After the burial , prayers were again offered in the grave yard and in the deceased house after returning back. Friends and relatives will stay at the deceased house for at least three days receiving condolences from people.
The burial of a deceased took place on the day in which the person has passed away, unless it happened in the night.
NB: Friends and relations will be In grief and sorrow during a burial ,up to the end of the burial, so it is not easy to snap or record a video at that time, and our custom did not support that. We have tried much to do so but we are unable to do so.

Crystal Palace vote of confidence for Ian Holloway
CRYSTAL PALACE joint-chairman Steve Parish has given manager Ian Holloway the dreaded vote of confidence.
Holloway earned praise for guiding Palace, who play second-placed Liverpool at Anfield on Saturday, into the Premier League last term, but his position has come under scrutiny after a run of one win in six games.
Parish said, however: "I believe in the manager and I believe in his ability to create a winning team.
I believe in the manager and I believe in his ability to create a winning team
"We need to keep the ball better. You can't keep giving it away in this league because, unlike in the Championship, you won't get it back.
"Ian knows that and I've got every faith in him to sort it out."

If you want to keep your backup loading and movie watching within the same general area, deank has compiled these special Showtime for multiMAN builds. Essentially they allow for much of the same basic functions, but they additionally tie themselves a little tighter into the multiMAN framework. See the release notes below!

Parker was born with an ear tag. It doesn't hurt him; he has no idea it's even there. Honestly, when I first saw it I was bothered by it and asked the hospital pedi to remove it. He refused and advised that I wait. Ugh. Great. The pedi in Cypress recommended that we wait until six months. The pedi here in SA referred me to an ENT. The ENT checked Parker out and we booked him for surgery. Wait, surgery?! As in...anesthesia? It seems that's the most effective way to safely cut things off a baby. I have wrestled with the idea of leaving his ear tag alone. It doesn't bother me nearly as much as the thought of putting my baby under. But I know I'll always have concerns so we are saying prayers and going ahead with it!
Before photo.
Surgery day: Wow, what an early morning. 4:30am alarm! I pumped, Dan and I got dressed, fixed coffee, took care of dogs and then woke our man up and hopped in the car. I was nervous to wake him without offering a bottle but he did surprisingly well and was even in a good mood on our 30 minute drive to the hospital. We checked in and waited. They took us back, asked a ton of questions, took vitals and we waited FOREVER. It's really hard to keep a baby happy on a hospital bed. Thankfully we were allowed to walk around just a little and that seemed to help pass the time. The first baby went back within 20 minutes a nurse was coming for Parker. He willingly let her take him from me and we were sent to the waiting room. I whispered a prayer {though I felt super confident all would be fine} and before we knew it, his doctor was telling me all about the procedure. We had to tough out a few more minutes while they brought Parker out of his sleep and then they led us back to him. He did fuss once we sat. After making sure he wasn't going to get sick, I was allowed to feed him applesauce and give him a bottle {only because it was breast milk - yay me!}. Parker handled the entire procedure so well and his daddy and I are super proud. Once we got home, the three of us crashed for a few hours and then spent the day in our jammies. I'm super thankful for how easy this was and can't wait to see his ear all healed.

Internships encompass many different program models (i.e. paid and
unpaid; full time and part time; of varying length; as a required part
of an academic curriculum or as a course option; for academic credit or
no credit). These experiences help you test your interests and refine
your skills in the marketplace. Many employers use their intern programs
as candidate pools when career opportunities become available in their
organizations. Broad use of the term "internship" to cover diverse
circumstances can present a challenge for students, faculty and
employers, so being clear about each party's definition, goals and
expectations is important at the beginning of any discussion about

EXCLUSIVE — John Goodman's Bentley, Victim's Hyundai Missing From Evidence!
The Bentley that Wellington polo mogul John Goodman drove into the Hyundai of a freshly graduated engineering student in a February 2010 DUI accident is missing from the Palm Beach County Sheriff's evidence warehouse, Gossip Extra has learned.
It's no longer available for Goodman's attorneys to analyze, something that could throw the millionaire's re-trial for DUI manslaughter into chaos!
Doug Duncan, Goodman's new defense attorney, made the stunning revelation today in a motion filed with a court in West Palm Beach and exclusively obtained by Gossip Extra.
UPDATE — Prosecutors say car disappearance won't hurt their new case!
"The defense is shocked and surprised to learn that both vehicle, previously described as critical evidence, and that the integrity of said evidence could only be maintained by being held in state custody, are no longer in evidence and no longer available for examination by the defense," the motion reads.
The absence of the vehicles could become a big deal since, in Goodman's first trial, he claimed the Bentley malfunctioned and surged forward at a stop sign before colliding with the Hyundai.
The jury that found Goodman guilty of DUI manslaughter last year didn't seem to believe that theory brought forth by Miami defense attorney Roy Black.
In time, Goodman was sentenced to 16 years behind bar, but a new trial was ordered in May because of jury misconduct.
Emails between Duncan and Assistant State Attorney Sherri Collins included in today's motion, meanwhile, show that the wrecks of both the Bentley and Hyundai were released after the guilty verdict was pronounced.
In the motion, Duncan asked for all of the State Attorney's documentation showing who ordered the release of the cars, and why.

Yes, and I like it alot! It reminds me of the first time I played HL. To some that seems like a joke, but I relate it as to how much fun I was having playing the demo.
The thing they are promoting most is the "Geo-Mod technology, the ability to completely alter and destroy the environment in real-time. " Which I think is neat and it adds alot to the game were as you are no longer bound buy a certain path to reach you destination.
But, what I liked best is the characture facial animations. Very smooth and they just plain look better that other games i've seen so far. http://www.redfaction.com/images/scr...1_01_08_sm.jpg
KilrB's PC
Looking forward to the final release, but for now I'll make do with the demo http://discussions.hardwarecentral.com/smile.gif
I played it on PS2 and it wasn't bad but using a control pad in a FPS has never been nice. I downloaded the demo and it runs ok on my 366PII, 128mb ram laptop in 800x600.
Apart from slightly improved graphics and geo mod, this doesn't really differ much from the halflife series. I was looking for something with more of a kick to it from Volition. Saying that I only played the first couple of levels on the PS2. Maybe it gets better the further you get into it.

National biotech meeting to be held at Cornell, June 12-14
By Linda McCandless |
The National Agricultural Biotechnology Council (NABC) will hold its 18th annual meeting at Cornell, on the Ithaca and Geneva campuses, June 12-14.
The meeting, "Agricultural Biotechnology: Economic Development Through New Products, Partnerships and Workforce Development," will address the role universities and state and federal governments play in developing and moving research into the marketplace.
"As land-grant universities seek new ways to fulfill their mission of serving society in the 21st century, they are increasingly using modern science and biotechnology, which has led to new products, economic development and job creation -- main economic development themes of governments throughout the world," said Anthony Shelton, Cornell entomology professor and chairman of the NABC 18 organizing committee. "How we bridge these themes to our evolving land-grant mission is a central focus of NABC 18."
The meeting revolves around four sessions: NABC member institutions' success stories, the function and role of university-based research parks in economic development, an up-close look at a local research park, and bridging the gap from laboratory to commercial product. It features 19 speakers, ranging from the president of the China Agricultural University to consultants and developers of products in the Netherlands, India, Brazil, Germany and Canada, to the director of an agricultural technology park.
A fee of $300 will apply for early-bird registrants until May 10, after which the fee will increase to $350. Student registration is $200 until May 10, then $250.
More information, including registration materials and student applications, can be found online at http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/nabc/.
