STARKVILLE, Miss. (WCBI/MSU Athletics) — Knocking at the doorstep of the Southeastern Conference elite, the Mississippi State softball team kicked the door down with a thrilling 2-1 come-from-behind victory against No. 12 LSU Saturday at the MSU Softball Stadium.
The win over the 2012 Women's College World Series participant snapped a 21-game losing streak against the Tigers, giving the Bulldogs their first triumph against their SEC Western Division foe since a doubleheader sweep on March 30, 2005.
"This is a great win for Starkville's team," Head Coach Vann Stuedeman said. "The crowd was packed and I could not be prouder of our fans as well as the resiliency of our players and their willingness to fight back."
The 2-1 win came less than 16 hours after a 14-inning classic at the Dawg Diamond, which saw the visiting team squeak out a narrow 1-0 victory in a pitchers' duel for the ages. Saturday's statement game improved MSU to 16-5 in 2013 (1-1 SEC), while dropping LSU to 18-5 on the year (1-1 SEC). The two rivals will square off one last time in the rubber match Sunday at 1 p.m. to decide which school wakes up on Monday above .500 within the ultra-competitive SEC.
Displaying arguably the deepest pitching staff in the conference, a trio of Stuedeman's pitchers held the Tigers to one run for the second-consecutive day. Senior southpaw Stephanie Becker drew the starting assignment, giving up LSU's lone run on four hits in 5.0 innings of work. Fellow senior lefty Kylie Vry picked up the win in relief (2-2) after throwing a scoreless sixth with two strikeouts. Reining two-time SEC Pitcher of the Week and this week's National Pitcher of the Week Alison Owen earned her SEC-leading third save of the season with a pair of strikeouts in a hitless seventh frame.
"I don't believe we walk out victorious without all three of those pitchers today," Stuedeman explained. "Kylie Vry received the win and there are major leaguers out there who get paid millions of dollars to throw a scoreless inning, so hats off to her."
LSU junior right-hander Meghan Patterson suffered the loss in the circle for the visitors, falling to 3-2 on the year after surrendering two runs on four hits and three walks in 5.1 innings. Fellow junior righty Ashley Czechner recorded the final two outs in the bottom of the sixth with one hit allowed.
Bulldog junior Logan Foulks and senior Shelby Fisher were the heroes for the home team. Foulks finished 1-for-3 with a solo home run, while Fisher went 1-for-3 with an RBI single. Redshirt junior shortstop Erin Nesbit (2-for-3) recorded the only multiple-hit game of the 21-inning series so far in the pitching-dominated weekend.
The two SEC heavyweights battled back and forth for four innings before LSU jumped on the scoreboard first courtesy of a suicide squeeze RBI-bunt single in the top of the fifth by center fielder A.J. Andrews.
Down by a run heading into the bottom of the sixth, the Maroon and White dug deep inside and barked back on offense. With one out, Foulks sent an 0-1 offering screaming over the left-center field wall, tying the game at 1-1 and bringing the MSU faithful to its feet.
"I could not be prouder of this team coming together like they did today," Foulks said. "It did not matter who is up at the plate for us, because we know we are all capable of getting it done."
With barrels banging and cowbells clanging, junior Sam Lenahan drew her third walk of the game and her team-high 20th on the season. Pinch running for the junior slugger, freshman Kayla Winkfield swiped second on the first pitch of senior Jessica Cooley's at-bat, and advanced to third on a strike-three swinging wild pitch that put Cooley on first. With runners on the corners, Fisher calmly sliced the game-winning single through the left side of the infield, knocking in Winkfield and sending the 646 fans at the Dawg Diamond into a euphoric roar of cheers and whistles.
"I would not even have had the RBI opportunity had it not been for my teammates on base, so give them credit," Fisher said. "Logan fired me up with her home run and our entire team responded to that nicely."
Stepping into the circle with a lead for the first time this weekend, Owen did what she does best, retiring the side in order with two strikeouts to secure MSU's first victory against a top-15 squad since a 5-3 home win against No. 7 Georgia exactly a year ago Saturday (March 9, 2012)

The dress is beautifully made & just like the picture.The style is very flattering & makes me feel like I look nice.
I will definitely be ordering again.
We had to make 1 alteration which was the straps appear to be made for someone with high shoulder to top of dress ration. The strap had to be altered by 3 inches!
I love it & can't wait for the parties to start!
Dress made to custom order. Was a bit nervous and anxious waiting for my dress to arrive...but absolutely perfect. Fits to perfection and I actually look like a femine female for a change. Nice and breezy and feels gorgeous.fit perfectly, looks wonderful. Could not be more pleased!
the dress is for my wife, she is thin and tall, the dress fit her well, the most important is the color of the dress fit her skin color. a successful dress and a nice shopping on line. I hope there is next time to buy dress on this website.

I loved this dress so much.the size which i have choosen fits me perfectly. I highly recommend this dress and i will buy more.
The dress is very beautifully made and is a gorgeous dress. I ordered it to exact measurements and for the most part it fits well. It's a little tight through the hips but we were warned that the measurements of the finished product could vary by up to an inch in either direction. The final product far exceeded my expectations as far as the quality of the garment. Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and I would definitely order from jenjenhouse again.
Beautiful Dress!
I had a few issues with this dress. My first dress arrived VERY quickly but without the beading on the side. After numerous emails back and forth to the customer service department. I finally ended up with a dress that is EXACTLY like the picture.
I will order from this company once again. Great quality and great price even with shipping and duty!
Hi, i really like this dress but I am hesitating about the color. is it possible to have pictures of all the colors?
Thank you in advance.

Trachelectomy to remove the cervical stump after prior supracervical hysterectomy is typically performed to manage cervical symptoms or disease that develops postoperatively, such as abnormal bleeding or abnormal cytology. This topic will review the indications for trachelectomy after supracervical hysterectomy, as well as techniques and possible complications. Radical trachelectomy performed as fertility sparing surgery in women with early stage cervical cancer is discussed separately. (See "Fertility-sparing surgery for cervical cancer".)
Trachelectomy is typically performed after prior supracervical hysterectomy to treat disease or symptoms referable to the cervical stump. It may also be performed in conjunction with other pelvic surgery (eg, oophorectomy, bowel resection). After supracervical hysterectomy, new cervical symptoms will develop in up to one-quarter of women [1-4].
In the largest series of trachelectomy from a single institution (n = 310 cases from 1974 to 2003), the most common indications were [5]:
●Prolapse (52 percent)
●Pelvic mass (25 percent)To continue reading this article, you must log in with your personal, hospital, or group practice subscription. For more information on subscription options, click below on the option that best describes you:

" Brand: Remington / Type: Volume & Curl Dryer "
I was looking for a new hairdryer with a diffuser, and came across this, buying it because it was the more cost-friendly option.
What you get: hairdryer with nice long cord and hang-up loop; 2 attachments, one which focuses air with result of nice straight hair, the other a diffuser designed to result in defined waves or curls; four velcro rollers; four hair sectioning clips; and a hairbrush.
Features: 2000W dryer, which has 3 heat settings and 2 different speeds, so that if you're using the diffuser you don't end up just blasting curls apart. It also has a cool shot for getting styles to set more effectively. The ceramic ring means heat is distributed evenly, and the air filter and grille can be removed. It also comes with a two-year guarantee, which I am almost sure I won't need, but it is reassuring.
Looks: comes in a black gift box which I've kept to store my dryer and accessories in. The dryer itself has a slightly childish flowery pattern on the side, but I don't really mind it. It just doesn't make the dryer look particularly sophisticated.
Price: All this is available from Amazon for a bargain of £21.35 (rrp is £40).
My thoughts: it works! I use the dryer with the diffuser mostly, but have also used the other attachment and the result is great. My hair does not end up frizzy or damaged. I use the sectioning clips occasionally, but do not use the rollers or brush at all, which is a shame but I don't feel as though I paid any extra for them.
Overall, highly recommended, particularly as it's going to last at least 2 years.
When my hair dryer recently broke I decided to look for a good quality hair dryer, which also didn't break the bank. I was buying off Amazon with my DooYoo vouchers, and there was a good choice to choose from, including the newest model of my now broken hair dryer, however I decided to opt for something different after finding this dryer, and I'm glad I found the Remington Hair Envy Volume & Curl dryer as it's been brilliant.
This hair dryer is a 2000W dryer and isn't as noisy as other dryers. It boasts a ceramic ring and ionic conditioning (popular in modern hair dryers!) which helps reduce frizz and give hair a nicer shine. It has 3 heat and 2 speed switching settings which are very easy to use, and include a cool shot which you press and hld to give a cool shot of hair to help 'set' your hair style. The rear grille of the dryer is removeable and this makes it easier to clean, all you have to do is turn it anti-clockwise to remove, and then turn it clock wise it secure it back on again, thus making sure the grille doesn't get clogged up with dust and hair. The dryer comes with 2 attachments, a concentrator and diffuser, one you will recognise as it comes with the majority of dryers however the other one I have never seen on a dryer before, and I'm actually not sure what it should do! (If anyone does know please tell me!)
This hair dryer set also comes with a volumising brush, 4 velcro rolles and 4 sectioning clips. It all comes packaged in a lovely storage black box which is of a good quality.
When I recieved the dryer I was very pleased with how it came packaged and the storage box is good, and it's easy to put the dryer away after use. The hair dryer itself looks attractive and feels of a good quality. It has a pretty floral design towards the grille side of it which I really like. The dryer has a long barrel so it looks really professional.
Using the hair dryer was easy! It wasn't heavy at all, so I didn't find my arms aching after I dried my hair, and I found it dried my hair really quickly. Having it on the hottest setting it does become rather hot after a while, but switching this down to the 2nd setting quickly gives a cool but still warm blast. It didn't make as much noise as other dryer's I've owned, but it will be impossible to have a noise less hair dryer!
I have naturally wavy/curly but thin hair and ends up looking a mess, using this dryer I still didn't recieve any nice gorgeous curls, which I didn't expect, but I did notice my hair was much less frizzy and it actually felt soft and appeared shiny after use which I am really happy about! My pevious hair dryer was the Babyliss BEliss one which straightens your hair as you dry. I was never happy with the results of that one as my hair ended up feeling dry and actually really frizzy despite it's 'sleek and shiny' claims. This dryer however does deliver that and I find it gives much better results than my previous dryer.
Lastly, this hair dryer is a bargain on Amazon at the moment, costing only £20! Considering this is a large, professional style dryer of a very good quality this really is a bargain not to be missed. I've noticed my previous dryer is around £3 more and it doesn't deliver good results the way this dryer does. If you are in the market for a dryer which dries your hair quickly without drying your hair out and making it frizzy, then I certainly recommend this one!
Seet includes: 2000W dryer with low noise, Professional chrome barrel with 3 heat /2 speed settings, removable rear grille, ionic conditioning and ceramic ring and concentrator and diffuser.

Why does Uplay suck this much? I mean most games are awesome, don't misunderstand me, but c'mon!
I wanted to reinstall my computer, while saving my savegames. But no, ofcourse not. I can't back them up cuz they are stored online. GREAT WORK. NO REALLY. [edit] FANTASTIC.
And logging in every single time. If I CAN login, cause servers can be down or w/e.
Hi There,
I think you are confusing Uplay and the DRM used in certain games?
Uplay is a service to offer free content as a reward for completing certain in game challenges..
If you re-install a OSP game, one where you are required to log in to play, the game will copy your save games for you.
There are also local files, should you need them.
The main benefit for the online saves is that you can simply install the game on a new pc / install, sign in with the account you first used and your saves will be downloaded automatically.
If you wish to disable the online back up's you can do so via the launcher's settings tab.
If you have any questions - please contact Ubisoft Support.
Please also remember - that swearing is against the forum rules.
this is the first time i met uplay.
i installed hawx 2 and had to log in.
i had to insert my install keycode.
uplay said it was wrong so i pressed some more times on the login button.
Now i can't play the game!
nowhere stands how long the ''temporarily banned'' time is and how i can fix this.
Thank you uplay.
i was happy yo have the game after some weeks and now i can't play!
ok, first i have a 360, when i first played splinter cell conviction, i thought it was fun, uplay was neat. when i got ghost recon: future soldier and decided to play online, i get a message saying unless i buy a uplay play pass or whatever it is, and if i dont i am only able to level up to level 5. i guess what im asking is why, if im paying for xbox live, should i have to pay to play a single game online? my opinion on this is that this is a crappy move, no offence to the creators, i love the games just not online.
Hi There,
Please have a read through on the following threads:
Uplay connection issues: http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...nection-issues

On a recent visit to a self-storage facility, I encountered a manager who left me shaking my head. As I approached the office and looked through the window, I could see a pair of boots on the front desk, attached to some ragged old jeans. I thought, "Hmmm ... The maintenance guy must be taking a break in the office."
As I entered the office, I noticed two, ah, gentlemen behind the counter. One was watching TV, and the other appeared to be doing bookwork. With no phones ringing, a TV blaring, and no other customers around, the "boots on the counter" guy asked me if I could hang on a minute.
Perhaps the president was buying another industry or something, and I just didn't get the memo. After a minute or so, and some light conversation, I learned the guy doing bookwork was the owner, and "boots" was his son, the manager. Are you serious?
It's amazing the number of owners out there who operate with little more sophistication than a lemonade stand. Complacent managers and distracted owners translate to weakening bottom lines. Can you make money that way?
A lot of self-storage owners have for many years. Keep expenses low and hope for the best. But that's not good business, and as we all know from recent experience, the best is not bankable. If you want your business to be profitable in the long term, you'd better get serious now. Otherwise, you'll lose.
Developers, owners and managers should look for better efficiencies, tactical marketing initiatives, and ways to sharpen their competitive edge, no matter what stage of the self-storage life cycle they're in—development, startup, leaseup, stabilization or sale. The key is to get serious about your business. This article targets the self-storage owner, who always holds the keys to success or failure.
Exercise and Strengthen
No matter how good you're doing, you can get better. And when you're struggling, there are probably opportunities being overlooked. The whole point of opening our doors every day is to make a profit, not just pay the bills. Focus on being profitable because it's good for you and good for our industry as a whole.
First, take a hard look at your manager. Don't be cynical, but as the lifeblood of your operation, your managers deserve a lot of attention. Start this process with a manager's self-evaluation. The best way to improve the manager's performance is to engage involvement.

It's no secret that consumers are more concerned with the health benefits, purity, and environmental impacts of the food they buy than ever before.
But a recent Cone Communications survey polled more than 1,000 people to dig a bit deeper for specifics, finding that generational divides exist within these trends and that food brands have a fresh opportunity to define and differentiate themselves via consumer preferences. 74% of participants said that companies need to do a better job of explaining why they stand apart in terms of environmental concerns.
Some more key stats from the "2014 Food Issues Trend Tracker" after the jump.
Consumers placed safety (93%) and nutrition (92%) at the top of their priorities list, but…
- 74% would prefer to buy locally produced products
- 69% value sustainable packaging
- 65% want no GMOs in their food
On the local issue:
- 66% would pay more for local; 64% give "supporting local businesses" as the main reason
- 39% believe local products are higher quality
83% consider sustainability when making purchasing decisions:
- 43% want to be more environmentally active
- 38% want to support companies that "do the right thing"
Women and Millennials are more passionate about these issues, with female shoppers more likely to consider local production and sustainability and young shoppers more interested than the public at large in buying from companies that produce organic products and partner with charities. (Interestingly, Millennials are slightly less interested in buying local.)
Finally, confusion reigns when it comes to GMOs: 84% want companies to provide more information but a majority (55%) are unsure whether GMOs decrease the health value of the food they buy.
Alison DaSilva, EVP at Cone, answered some of our questions about the survey.
What do you think is the most significant finding to pass on to clients?
The tracker reveals that sustainability is now a key driver of consumer food purchases, alongside health and family satisfaction. In fact, at least two-thirds of shoppers are looking for food that's not only safe and nutritious, but locally and humanely produced, sustainably packaged and better for the environment.
Consumer motivations for shopping with sustainability in mind are both altruistic and personal. Food manufacturers, therefore, can't rest their laurels on a single claim anymore. They need to identify and communicate mutual benefits.
Which brands are already ahead of these trends?
Whole Foods has been on the leading edge of food sustainability, and the company is still pushing these issues forward, as evident in its demand for all GMO products to be labeled by 2018.
Ben & Jerry's (Cone client) prides itself on using high-quality, ethically-sourced products, and goes beyond its core product offering to advocate for larger social issues. The company is also transparent about its GMO-free journey, with a dedicated portion of its website featuring its position on the issue.
Silk products (soymilk, coconut milk, etc.) are non-GMO verified, and the company has been a big advocate for more transparency in labeling. Silk has also been a supporter of non-GMO labeling campaigns. (Silk's parent company, WhiteWave, is a Cone client.)
Chipotle is front and forward in the sustainable, ethical food category, using nontraditional means to engage consumers around food issues, such as its "Farmed and Dangerous" mini-series and Huffington Post Food for Thought sponsorship.
But this more robust focus on sustainability isn't limited to niche, values-based companies; consider McDonald's and its sustainable beef commitment. Even the big guys are setting ambitious, game-changing sustainability goals that carry implications for the entire supply chain.
How can companies offer clarity on these issues in the name of both customer satisfaction and brand positioning?
Companies play an incredibly powerful role in helping consumers understand these issues. Partnerships with trusted institutions like Fair Trade USA (client), Rainforest Alliance and the Non-GMO Project help provide consumer assurance, verify claims and show real commitment to the issues as well.
Most consumers do not want to look very hard or far for those details; they primarily look on product packages or labels for more information. Being transparent on-pack is critical in providing consumers with simple ways to learn more about products' manufacturing and packaging, and vague statements like "all natural" aren't going to work. Claims that are too general and not substantiated with specific facts are less convincing to consumers. They want to know more, and they'll punish companies they feel are misleading them, as we saw with the NAKED Juice lawsuit.
The importance of social media cannot be overstated, as there's a lot of conversation about these issues happening online. Companies need to be a part of that dialogue with an authentic voice and transparent communications.
What sort of specific messaging and marketing practices would you recommend in light of this information? What would you discourage?
Transparency, authenticity and consistency. Companies must be transparent in their product production and packing; authentic in the claims they make about those products and associated benefits, and consistent in how those attributes and commitments are substantiated and communicated.
Greenwashing or deceptive marketing is to be avoided at all costs – and not just in how claims are worded, but in how the information is presented, from font colors on labels to website imagery. Our recent 2013 Cone Communications/Echo Global CSR Study has shown that nearly nine-in-ten U.S. consumers will boycott companies they feel are misleading them or acting irresponsibly (88%).
Do you think the new FDA labeling regulations will have any effect on brands' ability to position themselves within the health food sector?
At their core, the new FDA labeling regulations are designed to help consumers make informed decisions and prevent deceptive claims, signaling a greater call for transparency across a broad range of issues. It's likely we'll see more efforts in the vein of the labeling regulations.
What do we take from these findings, and how are we encouraging clients to get ahead of the trends?

Thanks Ladies 🙂 It's nice to see the work finally pay off 🙂
This morning I asked for a sign… a sign that I was on the right path and that I wasn't wasting my life pursuing this dream of photography, of art, of something for myself.
I'm not in the habit of asking for signs. Actually I'm more likely to ignore one that jumps up and waves at me. This morning I had just finished reading week three of The Artist's Way, which was about acting and then receiving the gifts you are given from God, the universe, creativity itself, or whatever you happen to believe in. So I asked…
I turned on the computer and received an e-mail from a friend in Amsterdam. He happened to glance at the credits of the book he was reading and something caught his eye – My Name.
|Thank you to Robert for sending the scan.
|My picture on the cover…
So I searched on-line to find the cover of the book and although it's cropped tightly, it is my image. It was sold from one of the micro-stock sites I've been contributing to for the past year. I don't know which one. And for the thousands of images I've sold, I've only ever found half a dozen or so, on websites. But this find was big… a book is so much more permanent. I'm in shock.
Last week I had another micro-stock 'moment.' Possibly one of those other signs I ignored. I received another e-mail through istock from a film producer in Hollywood. He wanted to use one of my images in a documentary but needed to purchase a license option I hadn't enabled… would I be interested? Um… yeah!
I know the arguments against micro-stock. I've read them all and I debated for a long time before I started selling my images this way. I haven't been too vocal about my micro victories because I was worried what people would think. That somehow it wasn't a valid way to sell my images – that I wasn't a real photographer.
My photos have now been used on websites, on a book cover, in a documentary film and in a travel brochure. These are only the few I've stumbled upon.
I'm not posting any of this here to brag or feel self-important. On the contrary, I still worry about what everyone thinks, including me. Putting this out in the world is just another small, tentative step that I'm making to prove to myself that I can do this and that I'm worthy of achieving my dreams.

Fantastic … being creative just is … that's it, you can't escape it but you can determine if it's going to be shared or private, an enterprise or personal, mainstream or artistic, or, more likely for you, a magical blend of all of the above. I love being able to see what you see … trust that there are a lot of folks like me and keep finding ways to get your images out there! Love ya! pugwash pops

Born: Jan. 26, 1880, at Fort Little Rock, Ark.
Family Background: His father, General Arthur MacArthur, was a Civil War colonel ("the Boy Colonel of the West") who earned a Congressional Medal, became an Indian fighter in the '70s, a hero of the Spanish-American war, and Military Governor of the Philippines. He died dramatically of a heart attack while addressing a reunion of his old regiment in Milwaukee in 1912. Douglas MacArthur grew up at a succession of Army posts and, as a child at Fort Little Rock, was almost killed by an arrow during the last of the western Indian uprisings.

I have 2 old quilts that my Grandmother made.
1 she made for me when I was a little girl. I don't ever remember being without it.........so I don't know how old it is. There are pieces that are worn to the batting and I have to figure out how to fix them.....and the second quilt her guild made for her, it is one with the signature blocks. My aunt is going to give me one of her quilts that is a crazy quilt......Can't wait to get my hands on that one.
My question is how do I store them. I have them in one of those vacumn bags now but I don't know if the fabric is going to get creased. When I move I want to be able to display them but until then I need to store them safely.
Thanks for your help!

GLOBE GRAPHIC: Map of Jammu and Kashmir
DODA, India -- Violence by Islamic militants aimed at Indian-controlled Kashmir's Hindu minority has left 35 dead, police said yesterday, just ahead of a planned meeting between the divided region's political separatists and India's prime minister.
In one village, militants disguised as soldiers coaxed residents from their homes and then gunned down 22 of them. It was the bloodiest attack by Islamic guerrillas in Kashmir since a 2003 truce between India and Pakistan.
The Indian prime minister, Manmohan Singh, suggested that the killings would not hamper efforts to find peace in the Himalayan region.
''People of Kashmir have rejected and rebuffed terrorists repeatedly," Singh said.
India has accused Pakistan of backing the militants, even as the two countries have discussed peace. Singh, however, stopped short of blaming Islamabad.
A spokeswoman for Pakistan's Foreign Ministry, Tasnim Aslam, said the killings were ''an act of terrorism, and we condemn it."
Witnesses said more than a half-dozen assailants, some of them in army uniforms, slipped into the village of Thava after dark Sunday and, using local guides, told villagers they had come to meet residents.
''When we assembled outside the home of the village head . . . they showered bullets on us," said Gyan Chand, one of five people wounded in the attack. He spoke from a hospital in Doda, near Thava, 600 miles north of New Delhi.
After the attack, survivors rushed to alert the army, but the assailants fled before security forces arrived, said Sheesh Pal Vaid, a police inspector-general.
For centuries, Kashmir's Hindus, the Pandits, lived amid the Muslim majority.
But the Pandits have been targeted relentlessly by Islamic insurgents who have been fighting since 1989 to wrest the part of Kashmir controlled by New Delhi from largely Hindu India.
Most have fled, many to squalid refugee camps in safer parts of India. About 2,000 Pandits have been killed in the insurgency, which has claimed nearly 67,000 lives. The remaining 25,000 Pandits in Kashmir, one-tenth of the preinsurgency population, are subject to attacks.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two sheriff's deputies have filed a federal civil rights lawsuit alleging gang-like lawlessness by a clique of Los Angeles County jailers.
The suit was filed Wednesday by deputies Chris Vasquez and Elizario Perez, who say they were attacked by fellow deputies during a Christmas party at a Montebello banquet hall.
The Los Angeles Times says the lawsuit alleges illegal acts and excessive force by an aggressive group of third-floor deputies at the downtown Men's Central Jail.
The Sheriff's Department won't say if the deputies identified in the lawsuit are among the six deputies the department decided to fire in March.
Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore denies the department fosters lawlessness among jail employees.

Bengaluru: A single-judge bench of Justice Anand Byrareddy has ruled that holding discussions with one's advocates is a fundamental right of a person in judicial custody.
The bench made this observation while hearing a plea from Bannanje Raja, an alleged underworld don, currently lodged in Belagavi jail.
The court also observed that the investigating officials' refusal to allow advocates to visit him jail could not be termed wrong, since they had an apprehension that he, being an international criminal, was prone to assault by outsiders. The court has asked Raja to provide the jail authorities with a list of preferred advocates for consultation.
The court designated under the Karnataka Control of Organized Crime Act (KCOCA) has already completed the hearing in connection with the murder of entrepreneur R N Nayak from Ankola.
Hence he has been shifted to the Parappana Agrahara jail in the city, to continue to be in the judicial custody up to Nov 2.
In the meantime, the Shivamogga police are trying to obtain his custody in connection with the threat to and attempt on the life of entrepreneur Omkarappa.

Summary Box: Lilly's 1Q profit falls 15 percent
by The Associated Press
PROFIT FALLS: Drugmaker Eli Lilly and Co.'s first-quarter net income fell 15 percent to $1.06 billion, or 95 cents per share. Revenue climbed 6 percent to $5.84 billion.
WHAT HAPPENED: One-time charges for severance costs and a drug-development agreement hurt earnings, but international sales helped revenue. Excluding one-time charges, Lilly's profit was $1.24 per share. That topped analyst expectations.
2011 OUTLOOK: Lilly says its profit will fall, as it faces generic competition for its top-selling drug, the antipsychotic Zyprexa, and costs tied to the health care overhaul.

Once people's mindsets change and they do not see it as a dangerous sport, everything will fall into place,' said Lim Teong Chin, general manager of the Singapore Taekwondo Federation (STF)
Lim, 57, has been involved in the local taekwondo scene for almost 40 years, both as a player and with the STF.
He emphasised that taekwondo is a very safe sport, contrary to public opinion.
Mandatory safety equipment is used, and there are safety rules where only certain parts of the body can be hit,' said Lim.
In addition, these parts of the body, such as the head, chest and groin, are heavily padded for the exponent's protection.
He cited an example of how the STF cannot win both ways in their bid to woo more youngsters to take up the sport because of past perceptions.
They recently did a demonstration of the sport in schools here, and the feedback received by parents was that taekwondo was too dangerous for their children.
But when they tweaked the demonstration to make it less aggressive, the children found it boring.
Echoing the view that mindset changes were important was Lim's wife, national coach Wong Liang Ming.
The four-time SEA Games gold medallist feels that parental support and encouragement would be a big boost to the development of taekwondo among the young in Singapore.
People, especially parents, must understand and appreciate the sport. We do lose good players because parents discourage their children for fear of them getting injuries through taekwondo,' said Wong, 42.
Another way to bring up local taekwondo would be to organise a world championship in Singapore, according to Lim.
Such a tournament would bring together as many as 2,000 exponents from 120 countries, and could serve two purposes.
One, it would put taekwondo in the local spotlight and make people take notice.
Two, it would expose local taekwondo exponents to the standards of their fellow competitors from around the world and prepare them for tournaments such as the SEA Games.
'Seeing the standard of world-class players and sparring against them will definitely help develop local talent,' said Lim.
A third boost to the sport, according to Wong, would be for it to be accepted as an official Co-Curricular Activity (CCA) in schools here.
Currently, the Co-Curricular Activities Branch (CCAB) of the Ministry of Education, who oversee CCAs in schools here, allow schools to have it as a CCA for students
But, there is no inter-school competition for taekwondo.
She also commended him for his personal drive and determination, giving the example of how he participated and won a silver medal in the 9th Asian Cities Gold Cup in Hong Kong in February despite having a fractured left hand.
'His exemplary conduct at trainings is a good example for the youngsters,' she said.
One major reason for this is the already packed school sports calender.
'We already have 25 sports in the inter-school sports calender, which runs from January to July,' said Henry Tan, 60, assistant director for sports at CCAB.
The schedule is already very tight, and it is very hard for us to add another sport.
EVERY sportsperson has to make personal sacrifices.
In the case of national taekwondo trainee Ong Koon Yew, 17, he has turned down numerous requests from girls in his school to go out for movie dates because of his training schedule.
'My female class-mates ask me out for movies sometimes, but I usually can't make it because of my tight schedule,' the good-looking Chai Chee Secondary School student said.
He also does not have time for a girlfriend because of his heavy commitments to taekwondo.
'It is hard to balance sports and studies,' he added. 'For me, planning my time is very important.'
The teenager will be receiving his first Meritorious Award (Individual) at the Singapore Sports Awards on Wednesday.
This is the first time a taekwondo exponent will be receiving a Merit Award at the Junior Level.
Ong said that he was 'quite surprised' when he found out he was receiving the award.
'I didn't know I was nominated by my coach until she told me on the morning the winners were announced (21 April),' he said.
On winning the award, Ong gave credit to his coach, Wong Liang Ming, and the encouragement he got from his parents.
'He has a lot of potential for his age. His best asset is his speed and intensity,' commented national coach Wong, who has been coaching the teenager for two years.
She also commended him for his personal drive and determination, giving the example of how he participated and won a silver medal in the 9th Asian Cities Gold Cup in Hong Kong in February despite having a fractured left hand.
'His exemplary conduct at trainings is a good example for the youngsters,' she said.
Ong's ultimate dream is to get a medal in the SEA Games or Asian Games and go on to represent Singapore in the Olympics one day.

Massey's background includes stints with the likes of Donald Harrison Jr., Joe Lovano, Dave Holland and members of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra. Chris is an accomplished composer and arranger, gaining inspiration from drummer-composers of the likes of Brian Blade and Jeff "Tain" Watts. His accomplishment is evident on this CD. Works like Galactus and Vibranium show a diverse talent for injecting power and soul into his compositions. He makes effective use of all the assets of his band. Most notably the complex voices available from his keys and saxes.
While listening to this CD, I felt that there was a direct link to the spirits of the great power projects, Art Blakey did come to mind as did others. Ghosts of the greats, rising out of the Newport Jazz Festival past, filling the August air with lush, complex arrangements. These powerful creations of "the Project" along with the arrangements of of the works of legends such as Joe Henderson (Inner Urge) and Chick Corea(Windows) make for a great listen. The CD has that right mix of dynamic and sultry with the movement needed to keep you paying attention. The choice and combination of songs is also commendable. This CD comes together and stays together on the excellent performance of the artists involved. I have to comment on the piano work of Evgeny Lebedev. This is a powerful performance, tying all these pieces together and providing another dimension to the rhythm section of the band. Lebedev along with David Ostrem on bass come together with Massey to lay the foundation of each of these songs and provide the engine for the band to drive these songs home. Lebedev's work on 'Windows' is worthy of comment and a listen! 'Chango' provided a treat, a solo by Massey that was polyrhythmic and very dynamic.
I am amazed at the rich tradition contained in Massey's arrangements. He demonstrates a knowledge and capacity to recall the critical elements of his craft and to take the familiar and render it 'Nue'! Things you know you've heard before, but clearly have never heard! Vibranium is a must listen, because it proves that this 'Nue Jazz Project' is in fact new, fresh, powerful and worthy.

The last time Long Beach held an election, the voter turnout was pathetic.
A mere 18 percent of the city's more than quarter of a million registered voters turned out during the primary election held in April.
The city spent about $1.4 million then and plans on spending another $1.4 million for the June 3 election. The last time there was a competitive mayoral election in the city back in 2006, voter turnout was 30 percent. But as one political consultant told a Long Beach Press Telegram reporter after the April primary, the voters apparently think city politics is largely irrelevant to their lives.
That's a shame. Let's not allow that to be the case this time.
State and local candidates, their political action committees and supporters have doled out millions this election period.
In the Long Beach mayoral election alone, more than $1 million has been spent on the campaign. It all amounts to tens of thousands of fliers and a handful of political ads on television.
A competitive mayoral race between two men of color under 40 and several statewide primaries on the ballot should pique voters' interest this time around.
But will it bring voters? If history is any guide, chances are slim.
That's a shame because there is a lot at stake this time around, not only in the state but right here at home.
As the editorial board has stated before, the future of Long Beach will largely be shaped by who the next mayor is.
That person will have the ability to push for policies from the fate of the city's civic center to setting budgets, shaping the direction of the port and determining the business climate.
The city attorney's seat is also up for grabs with the Police Officer Association having spent more than a quarter million on the sitting city attorney, Charles Parkin. His opponent James Johnson is a current city councilman.
Whoever wins will represent the city in litigation from environmental issues at the port to police use-of-force lawsuits.
Why does that matter to residents? On the most basic level, the city's policies will hit your pocketbook in the form of taxes. But more importantly, what they do physically affects the city.
If the budget is in the red because of litigation, potholes don't get filled. Or if police and fire personnel get an overly generous contract, then other city services like tree trimming suffer. Zoning rules and developer bonuses can determine the city's skyline and even how much parking is on the street level. It may be the difference between nights at the library or dark and empty space where people could be reading.
Politics is not a passive support. It requires participation.
Casting a vote does more than tick up the vote count, it lets politicians know that you are watching.
That's especially true in Long Beach.
What makes city races so compelling is that your voice has so much power. It is not one of tens of thousands as it is in the national or state races — several of which will be on the ballot — but it can sometimes come down to 1,000 or even a few hundred votes.
There are two council seats in play, in the traditionally low-voting 1st District and the more active 5th District. It's in those races that residents are likely to see just how much impact their vote has.
Don't complain about politics or policies if you don't vote; in that case you have not done enough to change it. Get out and cast a ballot.

Just because they share the same uniform, does not mean they share the same opinion.
Darius McClinton, Chans Colbert and Vondareaz King were all part of Copperas Cove's district championship team last year, and they each experienced the elation of bouncing back from a single-digit loss to eventual state champion Southlake Carroll and winning the final nine games of the regular season.
And they each experienced the playoff loss two games later.
All three players took something different away from the Bulldawgs' 2011 season, but they each use it for the same thing: motivation.
"I feel that we could have went a lot further in the playoffs," running back Colbert said. "I don't think we had the right focus."
During the offseason, whenever Colbert contemplated last year, there was a single thought.
"I didn't want it to happen again."
With the graduation and departure of several key players, the senior accepted a larger leadership role, making a point to become an encouraging and motivating voice for his teammates, while helping everyone remain focused.
Despite the added responsibilities on and off the field, it is a role he is comfortable filling, and, as a running back, he knows exactly who to praise.
"I just keep (everyone) going, telling them good job," Colbert said. "I'll tell the linemen, 'Come on. We need you,' because we can't do it without the linemen."
Backfield teammate King has a fonder recollection of his sophomore season.
"Accomplished," the all-district second team running back said. "District title, district champs; that's what comes to mind."
Now, he is determined to repeat, and he put in the offseason work to prove it. Six times a week, King endures workouts consisting of running two miles, lunge walks and sprints before hitting his home weight bench.
Admittedly, it is an arduous schedule, but it is worth it for a little peace of mind when it comes to achieving his goal of winning consecutive district championships.
"There is a little bit of pressure because if you want to do it again, you've got to work twice as hard just to make sure it happens," King said.
McClinton shares his teammates' visions of district glory and playoff success, but, unlike them, he has disconnected himself from 2011.
"Honestly, I'm not really thinking about last year anymore, because the past is the past," the senior said. "I've got to move on to this season.
"The first day of the offseason is the first day I started getting (last year) out of my state of mind. I've got to shoot for next year."
And his goals are lofty.
"I want to win a district championship," McClinton said. "Well, that's the first step. Hopefully, after that, maybe a state championship."

It's time for holiday festivities, with Thanksgiving and the start of Hanukkah next week, followed by the usual flurry of Christmas-related activities. It's also the giving season, and there's really nothing more fun to give than gifts for little people.
This year, Blackhawk Country Club is working with the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots program to donate toys to less fortunate children. Donation boxes will be set up in the Lakeside Clubhouse lobby, the Falls Clubhouse lobby, the Kids Club at the Sports Complex and the Tennis Villas lobby. The donation boxes will be stationed at the designated areas through Dec. 20.
Members of the Marine Corps Reserve will be in front of the Lakeside Clubhouse at the club's first Tree Lighting at 6 p.m. Dec. 1 to help promote the Toys for Tots drive. Along with favorite holiday songs and music, complimentary hot chocolate, eggnog, apple cider, cookies and festive desserts will be served.
CHORAL CONCERTS: Music is the order of the day for holiday choral concerts in December, including the Danville Girls Chorus, performing in Danville on Dec. 7 and the Blackhawk Chorus performing their winter program at three local venues.
The Danville Girls Chorus features 125 girls from third to eighth grades from schools across the Tri-Valley area. Their program of seasonal music from around the world is at 11 a.m. Dec. 7 at East Bay Four Square Church, 2615 Camino Tassajara Road in Danville. Tickets are $15 for adults and $5 for children 14 and younger and can be bought at the door.
Ken Abrams, an award-winning choral director for San Ramon Valley High School, is directing the Girls Chorus. The girls will also have a spring concert in March, a tour and performances in May in San Diego and a Pops concert in June. For further information, go to www.danvillegirlschorus.org.
Nearly 140 singers comprise the Blackhawk Chorus, which has been performing for the past 20 years under the direction of Diane Gilfether, of Blackhawk. Winter concerts are scheduled at 7 p.m. Dec. 8 in Oakland at Temple Hill, 4780 Lincoln Ave. (no charge for this concert); at 8 p.m. Dec. 13 at Resurrection Lutheran Church, 7557 Amador Valley Blvd. in Dublin (ticket prices are $25 for adults, $17 for children 12 and younger); and at 5:45 p.m. Dec. 15 at Blackhawk Country Club's Lakeside Clubhouse (open to members and their guests; ticket price of $50 includes concert and dinner). For further information, go to http://www.blackhawkchorus.com/index-3.html.
Trees of lights: The annual Hospice of the East Bay Tree of Lights ceremony, celebrating the joy of remembrance, takes place in front of Blackhawk's main gate at Blackhawk Road and Blackhawk Drive at 5 p.m. Dec. 13. It is dedicated to David Newstadt, Blackhawk resident, who passed away earlier this year. The event includes music, poetry, remembrances by family members and hospice staff and the special moment when the tree is lit.
The 27th annual Danville/San Ramon Tree of Lights ceremony was to be held last Friday at the Danville Town Meeting Hall. It was dedicated to Kenneth Docter, who died June 15. These community ceremonies provide a way to honor the lives of friends and loved ones by dedicating a memorial light for a minimum gift of $25, thereby supporting end-of-life patient care. Funds raised allow Hospice of the East Bay to provide essential programs and services, such as the Vigil Program, which ensures no one has to die alone. For light dedications, donations, sponsorships and other questions, call 925-887-5678 or go to http://www.hospiceeastbay.org.

Death Penalty Cases Rife With Evidence Flaws
The deputy chief of China's highest court has criticised inconsistent adherence to evidence standards in the country's death penalty cases, whose annual number is a state secret. From the South China Morning Post:
Supreme People's Court Vice-President Zhang Jun, speaking at a conference organised by the China Law Society, said the court had found the quality of capital punishment cases to be worse than expected since authorities ordered all such cases to be reviewed in 2007, according to report by Caixin online [zh].
The biggest problem was with evidence, Zhang said. Law enforcement authorities lacked awareness about the importance of collecting evidence and rules regarding evidence were not applied uniformly.
"For example, [evidence in] murder cases must be subjected to DNA tests," Zhang said. "But this is not always carried out."
Investigators also tended to rely too much on verbal testimony as opposed to physical evidence, he said.

All quotes by Larry Coker
(368 quotes found)
"Our players have checked in, and we start practice tomorrow. We're very excited about it, but more important, the players are excited. ... Now it's time for practice. It's time for football."
"He's really stepped his game up and developed a lot of confidence, and he's getting a lot of confidence in himself of being able to really contribute and being a marquee player for us."
"It's a little bit iffy. Tyrone is still a little sore, still being bothered by the leg. We'll see if he's ready to go today or tomorrow. That will tell us a lot more about this weekend. He's not ready to go, let's put it that way."
"We have some say. Florida State, that's not a normal situation. That was added late in the process. Clemson fell as it fell with the 12th member of the league coming in. We and other teams were caught in a hard spot. It's not anything the league did to punish us."
"I don't know how much effect it has after things get started. Normally, and I use a little Bill Belichick philosophy here, after the game starts, all the hype and the rah-rah and the rhetoric goes out the window and now you play the game."
"We're not a finished product yet by any stretch of the imagination at quarterback. But I think again, if we handle it properly, we can build on it with the players we have."
"Again, it's poise and character. We made some plays. When we stopped doing that, that's how Clemson got in the game. When we got back to doing that, it permeates throughout."

The city of Ottawa wont get another kick at bringing back the CFL if council decides to vote No to the Lansdowne Live proposal.
67s owner Jeff Hunt, a front man for the Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group, told Sun Media Wednesday the hopes of the CFL returning to Frank Clair Stadium will be dead if the city doesnt pass the $250-million redevelopment plan in a controversial vote Friday.
Hunt admitted hes tense.
Im nervous. Very much so. This has been a long time coming, said Hunt. I really think that this is the last shot for CFL football in Ottawa. If people think that another scenario is going to emerge in the years to come (to bring back the CFL), that is an enormous longshot.
This is the ideal convergence of the right people at the right time and in the right place. If this were to fall apart, I dont think theres any doubt that the CFL is dead in Ottawa.
CFL commissioner Mark Cohon will likely deliver that message himself Thursday when he has five minutes to address council at 1:05 p.m. His spokesman Matt Maychuk declined an interview Wednesday, but said Cohon will point out the leagues positives.
One of the keys in the Lansdowne Live proposal is the promise of the 2014 Grey Cup being held here.
Hamilton Tiger-Cats owner Bob Young told Sun Media hes hopeful city council will say yes to Lansdowne Live.
Ottawa is one of the founding franchises of the CFL. A modern facility is one of the key elements for rebuilding a long-term, financially stable, CFL team in Ottawa, said Young in an e-mail.
Sports fans across Canada, and football fans in particular, are on the edge of our seats hoping that the city of Ottawa will recognize the importance of public facilities to the health of our social democracy and the promotion of sport and fitness in Canadian society.
Hunt really isnt sure which way this vote will go. Former Rough Riders Jock Climie and Mark Kosmos are expected to be among the speakers.
All we know, and whats been said, is that its going to be very close. We all know the Yes, the No and the Maybe, said Hunt. The wildcard is: Where are the Maybe votes? Thats what will ultimately make this proposal sink or swim: Its going to be what the Maybes decide.
Thats why Im nervous. I cant sit here and tell you today that we have the absolute and necessary number of Yes votes. Its going be a nerve-wracking couple of days until the vote.
Hunt has a big stake here on a couple of fronts. A decision not to accept Lansdowne Live doesnt mean the future of the 67s at the Civic Centre will be in doubt, but potential upgrades wont be made.
I cant say on the 67s front Ive been worried about our future, but by the same token the future of Lansdowne very much effects the 67s and the Civic Centre, said Hunt.
So, would it be comforting for me to know that Lansdowne is going to be preserved, and more specifically the Civic Centre, is going to have a future here for another 30 years obviously that would be tremendous.
