Export and Economic Growth in India: Causal Interpretation
The present study focuses on the cointegration between Export and Gross Domestic Product and its components at current and constant prices. Time series data for Export and Gross Domestic Product and its components has been taken for the period 1950-51 to 2001-02. In the long run export and GDP reveal that export and GDP at constant prices are not cointegrable while export and GDP at current prices are cointegrable and also the direction of causality is positive. In the short run, through error correction mechanism it has been observed that GDP as dependent variable and export as an independent variable show that short run changes in export have affected positively to GDP and its components.

Seeing as I bore my soul this week and shared the skeleton of all skeletons, I'm much more in the "light and fluffy" mood today. That being said, I want to share a not-so-serious confession. Why is it that part of me actually thinks that one day I will date Leonardo DiCaprio? (Pan to dead serious Lex expression.) Several months ago, my girlfriend was mulling over the latest Hollywood gossip mag and said, "Really?! Are Eva Mendes and Ryan Gosling really dating?" (Dramatic pause here before the conversation took a turn toward creepy, stalker girl.) My response, "What? She is?!" I exclaimed that with the same personal conviction as having just found out my best friend is dating someone new and forgot to tell me. Are you kidding me?! Who in their wildest dreams gets to date Ryan Gosling much less in real life?! Please inform me what perfume she wears and any other girly secrets she uses for bait.
Now I know this conversation is superficial. I know that celebrity magazines, much less the celebrities themselves, are not our real friends despite how much we would like them to be. But now that I'm on this whole honesty kick, there is a piece of me deep down that feels like one day, I'll just be strolling along and BAM!! Out of nowhere, the handsome Leo will walk up with his boyish smile that won me over in Romeo + Juliet (the fish tank scene, I know you know what I'm talking about), ask me out and then we'll sail off into the sunset.
As a mature woman, I know this makes me out to be a lunatic, but someone has to marry him and George Clooney. Maybe I've recently watched too many romantic comedies, which breathes life into a statement I heard. "Romantic comedies are a girl's porn." It does kinda make you create this absurd fantasy in your mind, and worse, you actually hold onto a 1% plausibility. I mean, come on. I saw Win a Date with Tad Hamilton! (starring my girl and IATG ambassador, Kate Bosworth) and it was awesome. Pretty much how I see it going down for me.
Anyhow, this blog is just so you don't feel alone and in the hopes that I am not alone in my hot man, celebrity crush daydream. I know this makes us 13, but hell, sometimes it's fun to gush over our childlike pastimes. After all, we could use a break from the big bad world. So, if you could date any famous hottie, who would it be and at what point did they steal your heart? Now if you're totally too mature for this and find my highlighting and validating a celebrity-obsessed culture both irresponsible as well as counterproductive to the future of women's empowerment and female independence; stop taking life so seriously, sit this one out and join us next week for my rant on how expensive birth control is along with how it's serving as a barrier to safe sex. For my other girls who are down to giggle with me, and find transitioning between politics, education, business, entertainment and self-worth as effortless as deciding on the pair of shoes you're planning on adorning for the day, indulge me.

Yankees dig way into familiar territory
Latest edition of slow start has October veterans in last place
By /
The Yankees are 20-24. The only possible solace in that record is that it is exactly the same record they had at the same point last season.
The 2007 Yankees went 74-44 from that point, to grab a postseason berth, their 13th straight. The current club aspires to precisely that sort of performance, but it has created precious little evidence that it is capable of any sort of sustained excellence.
But you wouldn't want to call the Yankees' bullpen deep with a straight face. Witness, for instance, Ross Ohlendorf's four runs in one-third of an inning of work on Sunday night. Placing Kyle Farnsworth in critical situations has not, historically, been a recipe for success. Perhaps Edwar Ramirez can help, a great deal.
The starting rotation may be the most troublesome issue of all. In defending the outlook for this group, Girardi suggested that the top three starters were working well. This is true in the case of Mike Mussina and Chien-Ming Wang, his loss to the Mets on Sunday night aside. But Andy Pettitte hasn't won a decision in a month.
Girardi praised the work of Darrell Rasner, who has been solid in two starts. But the manager also suggested that Ian Kennedy would come around and be a productive member of the rotation. The 8.48 ERA of the pitcher in question tells you that this is a hope, not a plan.
The two losses against the Mets were particularly discouraging, not because of the Subway Series hoopla, but because of the performances of Pettitte and Wang, two pitchers who are expected to carry a large part of the load for this team. The Yankees were set up to succeed in these two games. They were subsequently outscored, 18-6.
The Yankees can only toss the first quarter of the season over their shoulders and look ahead.
"I thought our record would be better, but it's not about those 44 games," Girardi said. "It's about the next 118. And it's really about the next one, starting on Tuesday."
It is too early in the season to write off any team, particularly a team with this much talent and tradition on its side. But the automatic assumption that the Yankees can turn this thing around because that's what they did last year is flawed.
"I would hope that they're not thinking that way," Girardi said of his players. "Just think about Tuesday and what we're going to do on Tuesday. You can't think in big pictures in this game -- you've got to think in small amounts of time."
For the Yankees, thinking about Tuesday -- when they will face the Orioles -- as opposed to thinking about the last seven weeks, would be much less painful. And thinking about Tuesday, as opposed to thinking about another October, would be, at this point, simply much more realistic. This is a season in which nothing can be taken for granted, even for the Yankees.

CRS – The Kurds and Possible Iraqi Kurdish Independence. Jim Zanotti, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs; Kenneth Katzman, Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs. July 15, 2014 (IN10105)
"Approximately 30 million ethnic Kurds inhabit a largely mountainous region at the intersection of Turkey, Iraq, Syria, and Iran. In recent years, Kurdish populations have increasingly influenced regional developments, particularly given ongoing conflict and change in Iraq and Syria and long-standing efforts by Turkey's Kurds to obtain greater political rights (see CRS Report R43612, Iraq Crisis and U.S. Policy). These developments are of interest to Congress and the Obama Administration, in light of recent indications that the autonomous Kurdish region in northern Iraq may seek outright independence."

State officials opted 13 years ago to keep Minneapolis-St. Paul International airport at its current location rather build a new one.
The whole process caused a storm of controversy and the decision not to build a new airport led to spending more than $3 billion to improve and expand the existing airport. That expansion is nearly done, and the next one is being planned.
The final MSP improvement project is a $23 million rebuild of the middle of the airport's north runway.
Standing on the side of the runway, aircraft taxi to and from the rebuilt Lindbergh terminal is less than half a mile away.
Dozens of dump trucks, lined up nose to tail, and are being filled with black dirt while others carry in sand.
A runway is no different from highways, water-logged dirt freezes and thaws and cracks them.
Metropolitan Airports Commission project manager Allen Dye said replacing the soil with sand is better.
"The water will drain completely out of it, you want to get that freeze thaw and get that movement that you get in the pavement," Dye said.
The new runway section, Dye said, should last 50 years. But will MSP be around that long or will there be a need for a bigger airport at a different site?
There doesn't appear to be a simple answer at the moment.
Metropolitan Airports Commission deputy executive director for planning and environment Dennis Probst said there's plenty of capacity for nearly a decade. That's due to the $3.2 billion expansion and improvement of MSP.
It's also due to the recession.
The number of airplanes landing and taking off at MSP is down to 1994 levels. Probst and others predict when the recession ends, air travel will perk up.
He said that 20 years from now, by 2030, there could be more than 60 million passengers a year using MSP.
"Which would be a doubling of the current use of this facility," Probst said. "So the pressure that's going to be on MSP going forward is going to be how we deal with passengers and that interface of how people get to the airport, get to their aircraft and have a great experience in the process."
Airports and airline companies around the world are hurting because of the recession.
The MAC's deputy executive director for finance and administration, Steve Busch, said the airport's big revenue source, parking, is down as are nearly all other revenue streams.
"It's a significant hit on our revenue, but it's starting to moderate and slow down," Busch said.
Busch said the downturn does not threaten the MAC's or the airport's financial survival.
In fact, it's possible to argue that keeping the existing airport and spending $3.2 billion to improve it, rather than building a new one at perhaps something approaching twice the cost, was a smart move.
There's a smaller debt to pay off, and a smaller airport may not be at a competitive disadvantage.
That's certainly true for the moment with greatly reduced numbers of flights.
Even when air travel recovers and there are many more planes in the air, aviation experts say better technology will allow airplanes to land closer together.
That may help smaller hub airports like MSP, only 3,400 acres in size and only 4 runways, compete with big airports like Denver at 33,000 acres in size and six runways.
Still, the 2030 deadline looms, when MSP may be at capacity.
Dan Boivin, a private-practice attorney appointed as the city of Minneapolis member to the Metropolitan Airports Commission wonders what happens then.
"I think we are very well positioned for right now, but we need to start planning again now for twenty five years from now," Boivin said.
Does that mean starting the long process of selecting a site and buying land for a new airport?
Bert McKasy, also an attorney, and a Commission member appointed by the Pawlenty administration doesn't know the answer.
McKasy doubts, however, there's room at the existing airport for another runway.
"My impression is we're getting very close to being landlocked there as to what we can do," McKasy said.
A snapshot of what we got for the $3.2 billion MSP rebuild includes greatly-expanded parking and terminal capacity, runway improvements, and the biggest ticket item, the new 8,000-foot long north-south runway, which makes a lot of additional flights possible.
The other big expense, approaching $500 million, is the cost of treating hundreds of homes around the airport to help residents cope with aircraft noise.
The wish list for the next batch of improvements is already being prepared. However, the list does not include a new runway, but calls for more terminal and parking upgrades.

Cape Town, with its international reputation, should be considered above Pretoria in the event the government was considering a single capital.
That was the response from Cape Chamber of Commerce president Janine Myburgh, while Mayor Patricia de Lille scoffed at the idea of moving Parliament to Pretoria to save on the costs of maintaining two capitals.
The idea, aimed at eliminating the need for duplicate houses and vehicles for ministers and their deputies, was revived by President Jacob Zuma in his State of the Nation Address on Thursday after it died a quiet death in the late 1990s.
Read: 'Cut the size of government'
Commentators and opposition parties also dismissed the idea as "a red herring" intended to mask the government's failure to tackle a structural budget deficit resulting from a cost base exceeding its revenue.
Jugal Mahabir, lecturer in public economics at the University of Johannesburg, said: "If you really wanted to make a dent in terms of the size of government, you'd have to take more aggressive action – say we're reducing our cabinet a bit, or such things."
While moving Parliament was a good idea in principle and could result in significant savings in the long term, it was a huge undertaking.
Apart from the costs of maintaining two households for members of the executive, and the travel and accommodation costs of government officials who must frequently travel to Cape Town to report to Parliament, having the legislature in the same city as the seat of government could improve productivity by saving travel time.
Government expenditure on consultants, travel and catering stood at R25 billion in 2013/14, a significant proportion of which would have been related to government delegations travelling to Parliament.
But Finance Minister Pravin Gordhan introduced limits on the sizes of government delegations in 2013, along with prescribing economy class flights for officials below the level of director-general, and limits on the class of vehicles to be used on official trips, as well as those purchased for ministers.
The measures announced by Zuma seek to intensify these steps, but Mahabir was sceptical about their likely effectiveness.
"The thing is, you can say these things, but whether they happen is a totally different issue.
"To be honest, there was not a lot of conviction in the things he said."
The possibility of moving Parliament to Pretoria was first suggested under then-president Nelson Mandela, who set up a committee to report on the cost implications.
Furious lobbying by the two cities ended in a stalemate, and the topic has been raised sporadically ever since.
While a Cape Town-based estimate put the cost at the time at R3.5bn, the Pretoria lobby suggested it could be done for as little as R160 million in 1997 costs.

LG just revealed the new design of their 5.5" smartphone called the Optimus G Pro. This new model will come with a quad-core processor and a full HD curved display that will offer a "2.5D-ish" view of objects on the screen.
LG just recently released images and details on their new Optimus L series II handsets that would be on display at the upcoming Mobile World Congress electronics show in Barcelona. Now LG has gone step further and revealed to us the all-new LG 5.5" Optimus G Pro.
This new model Optimus is slimmed down on either side of the display and continues with LG's sleek look, but currently the exact specifications on the model's dimensions are not yet publicly available. It will come with a 1.8GHz quad-core Snapdragon processor and have a standard 2GB of RAM. Also, the Optimus G Pro will sport a high-resolution 13-megapixel camera and run on the highly popular Android "Jelly Bean" (4.1) operating system.
LG has not revealed just when exactly the new G Pro will reach the U.S. market, nor have they released any press releases in English. However, there is a newly published Korean language press release from the LG website stating that the device will be on the market at the end of February 2013. Only time will tell if this recent PR satisfies the question when the model will be sold on the U.S. market.
More detailed information for the new G Pro model is sure to be released once the Mobile World Congress gets on it's way.

text: A friend will sell me his 1980's Honda XL500 for $500. I rode it several years ago a few times. It needs brake work (drums on both wheels), it could run without work, but I'm tempted to try and rejet it an get a new pipe (if I can find the parts). It sags bigtime when I sit on it, so I'm wondering if the suspension is crap. I only rode it on city streets and a few dirt roads. Is this bike more trouble than it's worth? I couldn't find much on my two favorite sites, ADVrider and ThumperTalk. There aren't any forums dedicated to this bike that I could find, other than a German site: http://www.xl500.de/hauptseite/xl500rd.htm. Have any of you had one, or still have one? What do you know about it? Also, are there any other sites where I could maybe find more about this model?

Did you hear about that flight from Chicago to Amsterdam??? Here's the quick story…. Then check out our interview!
(From Fox News) Two men from the Detroit area were arrested in Amsterdam on a flight arriving from Chicago, reportedly suspected of assessing the aviation system for a potential future terror attack. The two men did not have prohibited items on them, a law enforcement official told Fox News, saying that although knives were found in their checked luggage, such checked items aren't prohibited. Law enforcement officials also found several non-functioning cell phones taped together, a phone taped to a Pepto Bismol bottle and a knife and box cutter in checked luggage connected with the men.
Now check this out… A friend of Lisa Stanley was on that flight!!! He called us from Amsterdam to give us the inside scoop!! Check it out!

Opinions on tweaks I made
-Removed bottom cover
-Applied some Dynamat to the under side of the plinth, the suspension brackets and arm board. (2-3hz suspension rate seams OK with the added weight)
-Used WD-40 to get the bearing out of the spindle, cleaned it and use synthetic motor oil when I put it back
-I wrapped the arm a bit (electrical tape)
Systemdek appears to have made 2 different spindle shafts. one smoth and one with a spiral groove. I assume the groove makes sure oil is moved all arouind the shaft? I use the spiral grooved one.
Any thoughts on switching the glass platter for acrylic? The acrylic is lighter (rememeber I used some Dynamat)and I think quieter? (The glass platter came with a great mat. it's soft rubber and seems to deaden the platter well and the records don't slip on it.)
Any idea who makes the stock Systemdek arm?
Anyone ever seen or used the Systemdek IV? If so is it worth the trade up and $. (They are rare used)
Any other tweaks?

since I updated my iPad / iPhone to iOS 6 the video playback / fallback doesn't work.
this seems to be a general problem, cause even on your demo page nothing happens ("sphere"-video).
any ideas how to fix this?
it is urgent, cause most of my visitors are using iOS 6.
thanks in advance!
Hi stdtknd,
Unfortunately this is an issue that has not been able to be fixed yet. Kriesi is working on getting one into a theme release/patch but we don't have an ETA as of yet.

How is it that the New York Islanders and Nassau Coliseum's management company owe as much as $3.8 million in unpaid rent, utilities and other expenses back to 2011 ["You owe millions," News, March 3]?
How are they allowed to continue operations, when Long Islanders with the same unpaid bills would face eviction and cancellation of their utilities?

so this update is a little overdue. sorry about that. we'll try to post more often now that we have something to post about.
hiba is growing every day. she is now a little over two months. she is a very happy baby - always smiling, hardly ever crying, loves being around people, and in the last few days has become very vocal. it's like she's just discovered she can make loud noises, not just "coos". so cute. we are having tons of fun with her. her latest accomplishments include sleeping through the night (that's actually not so new, thanks to the miracle blanket), holding her head steady when we hold her up up on our shoulders, lifting her head while on her stomach (although she hates tummy time...but if she's laying on jason, she'll hold her head up), saying "gaa" when she's not actually just swallowing spit-up while trying to talk, and yesterday jason heard her say "ba". basically, she's a genius.
other than hiba, our lives are more of the same as ever. i (sarah) go back to work on monday. i'm only working part time and i'll take hiba with me, so it will be interesting to see how that goes. paidia has been pretty busy this summer, between planning for summer camps (which start next month), finishing up the spring programs, trying to keep settlers away, and planning for next fall. we're both taking arabic lessons, which are going well. i realized i need to get serious about learning arabic, because otherwise hiba and jason will be able to talk and plot together without me understanding.
well, that's a brief update on our lives. here are the links to some photo albums of hiba. i hope you enjoy them!
Some more of Hiba

new pet models in the PTR data files. The most visually striking one is the new Chromatic Dragon, which is speculated to be the guild reward for completing the tier 13 rogue legendary. Chromatic Dragons are typically portrayed as multicolored, however, so this may not be the final appearance.
This is also our first look at the model for Wrathion. We know he'll be involved in the legendary quest line in some fashion, but exactly how remains to be revealed. Perhaps a hidden quest giver in Ravenholdt Manor? However it turns out, I'm sure someone gets ambushed in the end.
Brace yourselves for what could be some of most exciting updates to the game recently with patch 4.3. Review the official patch notes, and then dig into what's ahead: new item storage options, cross-realm raiding, cosmetic armor skinning and your chance to battle the mighty Deathwing -- from astride his back!

Kuchofuku has once again offering a weird gadget for cooling down the summer heat. We have seen their air-conditioned coat, now they are releasing the pants to complete the collection.
Kuchofuku air conditioned cooling pants has two fans equipped at each side pocket (see the picture for more details) that will suck air into the pants to cooling down your hot lower body. The pant is made of 65-percent of polyester 65% and 35-percent of cotton to make sure the captured cool air will stay longer inside and minimize leak.
If you work outdoors during the hot summer months you'll know how hard it is to find flexible and practical pants that also keep you cool. After making seats, beds and even beekeeper suits, air-conditioned clothing specialists Kuchofuku have now put their innovative minds to chilling the lower half of our bodies with these Cooling Pants.
The battery-powered fan set hangs on the outside of the pants so it doesn't add any real bulk or weight, all the while keeping you cool as you go about your work in the blazing heat. Available in a range of sizes, the durable pants also come in a simple green color that will match most situations and wardrobes.
This is cool and funny, but the downside is that you have to pay a lot for this weird cooling solution. JapanTrendShop is currently selling this stuff for $208 (add $20 for shipping cost) in four different sizes including M, L, 2L and XL.

DENVER (CBS4)– People were lining up Friday before the drawing for the biggest jackpot in lottery history.
The Mega Millions jackpot has reached $640 million. Lotto officials said the world-record prize increased nearly $100 million since yesterday because so many people bought tickets.
Many people took part in office pools.
"There's several of us that we each put in two dollars and some people aren't in the office. We left those others behind," said one Mega Millions ticket buyer.
But the odds aren't good, one in 175 million of having the winning combination.
Here's another way to look at it: if you buy 50 tickets a week, you'll win the jackpot once every 68,000 years. There's a better chance of becoming a movie star, having identical quadruplets or shooting a hole in one.
But some aren't deterred by those odds.
"I mean, you know, its free money… if you win you win. You can't win if you can't play," said one Mega Millions ticket buyer.

Fox News host Greta Van Susteren lit into fellow network colleague Erick Erickson in a post on her blog GretaWire after he tweeted harshly about Texas gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis, characterizing her as "Abortion Barbie."
Van Susteren posted a large, sweaty photograph of the conservative pundit and headlined it, "What is wrong with this guy? He is such a jerk! He is a repeat offender!"
Also Read: CNN Rejected Greta Van Susteren Return to Network
Van Susteren was incensed by a recent Erickson tweet that linked to a critical article in the Dallas Morning News.
So Abortion Barbie had a Sugar Daddy Ken. No exactly the bio she claimed. http://t.co/hXboCZYzjC
— Erick Erickson (@EWErickson) January 19, 2014
"So Abortion Barbie had a Sugar Daddy Ken," Erickson wrote. "No (sic) exactly the bio she claimed."
"We are a big nation with different viewpoints," Van Susteren seethed. "We won't always agree but a strong debate is helpful when we disagree. Sometimes if you are smart in your debate, you persuade someone who otherwise had disagreed with you. And then there are the creeps who take cheap shots because they are too ignorant and small to engage in an important discussion."

"The best they can do is make themselves look really bad," she continued in her lengthy blog post. "No one should pay any attention to them – they are not persuasive, they are noise, and in some instances boorish and obnoxious. I suspect this guy feels that he makes himself relevant or even important if he says or tweets like this. I just roll my eyes and wonder what is going on in his head!"
Erickson shot back at Van Susteren, tweeting, "Well, Abortion Barbie does have a vocal fan club. Might be larger except for the open season on anyone under 40 weeks."

I looked through the various departments of the Forum and I really couldn't find a thread that was open to forum members to talk about some of their favorite home waters. So, here we go.
Let's talk about those waters close to where you live and are available to you when you can't make a long drive or plan a trip somewhere, yet they scratch the itch to get out and fish.
Also, let's talk about those waters that were important to you when you were younger as in home waters where you grew up. Take us for a trip down memory lane, then bring ir back to your own backyard.
Perhaps this one will become a 'sticky' so it will be in front of us regularly, but more important, maybe it will become important to you to share those places that define you as a fly angler. Those places that renew and revive you and help you focus on the 'here-and-now' rather than the day-to-day challenges we all face.
Tell us why they are important, and maybe even wax poetic when describing them and what they mean to you.
When I was young I was transported to so many places through the written word and pictures of my favorite outdoor magazines - places I knew I would never see - yet I was able to experience them to some extent. Share those places with the rest of us. Describe what they look like, favorite runs and riffles, how you try to continue to fool that large brown trout in that secluded plunge pool.
Oh, and don't forget pictures - you don't have to be a famous photographer - just share with us the things you see when you get to your favorite place, along with what's along the way as you travel.
Anyway, enough of my waxing...let's get to it.
I am blessed to live in the heart of some of the world's most famous trout waters. With the upper Henry's Fork an hour's drive away, the South Fork of the Snake River nearly in my backyard, my favorite spring creek a 45-minute drive, the Madison River an hour-and-a-half drive, and so on and so on. I am blessed.
Those who know me understand that I fish a certain unnamed spring creek that is just a short drive from my home here in southeast Idaho. Years ago, just after moving to Idaho from southern Utah, and hungry to find local waters to fish, my brother-in-law and I were chasing the salmonfly hatch on a local river. Failing to find the head, tail or the middle of the hatch we were returning home when drove by a stretch of river we had passed earlier. The water was very slow moving and fish were turning - big fish. We stopped and looked the water over. It appeared to be a side-channel of the main river.
After much discussion and my expressing concern that this would be pretty difficult water to fish, we rigged up and waded in. Most spots were very gooey with deep clinging mud that sucked on your boots and stunk like sulfur (1st clue). We fished a multitude of dry flies to actively feeding fish. It was unnerving because many of these fish fit the description I later gave them of 2 to the 3rd power - they were all brown trout that were jumping two-feet out of the water, two-feet from me, and they were two-feet long! No, this is not an exaggeration.
Finally, after hours of fishing various dries to feeding fish, my brother-in-law, Barron, finally had a take and a miss on a good old Renegade. I tied one on and caught my first fish of the day. We were hooked after that and I returned often to the spring.
It took several years, but we were finally able to 'crack-the-code' on this particular water. I also discovered that the water was actually a true spring creek and not a side-channel of the main river. I discovered that there were resident brown trout in a beaver pond on the upper end of the river that were over 30-inches. I found that many fish overwintered in the spring, in fact, I don't think they ever left, as we have pictures of catching some of the same fish year-after-year.
I was able to perfect my method of fishing any spring creek or slack water with suspended nymphs by using the Parasol Emerger fly as a slow-water indicator which resulted in my breaking into the outdoor writing world with my first article ever written about this subject.
Nevertheless, this water holds strong and powerful memories, as well as being the one place in this world where I can go and leave the world behind. I can focus on that very small parasol fly as it drifts slowly suspending a double nymph rig right at the level where the fish are holding. I'm concerned only with having the right flies, the right drift, and hoping one of the big ones is on a collision course with my offerings.
A little slice of heaven on earth...
I know that many of you have seen my pictures of this place, but I will share them here again in order to kick this off.
Kelly's 'No-Tellum' Spring Creek - somewhere in southeast Idaho:
This is what the fish like to eat the most - amber scuds:
And this is what we catch:
And sometimes, a few of these...:
And, this is what we see sometimes when we are really lucky:
Share with us your "Home Waters"...
Best Fishes,

If our tax dollars were put to proper and more pertinent use -- instead of wasteful go-nowhere pursuits such as health care, debt relief, etc. -- scientists may have already come up with an answer to this timeless question that affects us all.
As it is, the clock is ticking on our most precious of commodities.
We've already lost Christina Aguilera, who's now little more than a poster girl for penicillin.
As for Britney Spears, there's still a glimmer hope.
Most people -- pundits, late-night talk show hosts, a guy I sat next to on the bus, his friend -- think her career is over and there's nothing left to salvage.
Granted, her last album didn't do as well as it should have and her good name has been soiled and sullied (soilied?) thanks to Fred Durst's lurid and graphic tales of wild sex, newspaper reports of cocaine abuse and nipple-piercing parties, and other alleged bad girl behaviour.
But look at her. Look deep inside of Britney's heart and you'll see the pop princess and her career are still very much alive. A new album is on the way, and with it, hopefully, the dawn of a new and refreshed Britney.
So, with the goal being the betterment of all mankind, here are a six suggestions for the Oops girl on how she can survive, prosper, and, in doing so, further enrich all of our lives.
Get back with Justin: They were our Kennedys, our Taylor and Burton, our Smokey and the Bandit (I, II and II!) -- made for each other and meant to be together. There have been many reports of her attempts at reconciliation despite being linked to everyone from Durst to Colin Farrell. And look at the clues there are to how obsessed he still is with her: That video where he's stalking a Britney body double; a tour with her nemesis Christina in an obvious attempt to make her jealous; the bum-fondling of Kylie Minogue which came across as hollow and a rather sad. He's trying so hard to say he still loves her. And it's not too late. Someone just needs to lock these crazy kids in a room together so they can sort everything out and get back to making magic.
Cover up, girlfriend!: How does that old saying go? Why buy the milk when you can see pictures and video of the cow dressed in tube tops and low slung jeans and thrusting its crotch towards the camera for free. Part of Britney's early charm was the mystery and the wholesome image she presented wearing pigtails and a school girl uniform. There was no hidden meaning, or sexual undercurrent -- it was all about purity. And if there's one thing I've learned in my 32 years on God's green earth, it's that nothing sells like chastity and propriety.
Embrace an entirely new musical style: Pop music may be dead, but there are so many other styles suited to her talents. New country, for example would welcome a superstar of Spears' calibre. Get some banjos, patriotic songs, put her on a horse and no one would be asking O Britney, Where Art Thou? Or beat Durst at his own game -- female rap rock. Both she and the near-dead meathead musical genre would reap the benefits. Better yet -- jazz pop! If the Grammys proved one thing this year -- other than insomnia can be cured -- it's that jazz pop is hot, hot, hot. Norah Jones is alright I suppose, but she doesn't have the kind of shazam! and wowza! needed to become the capital 'S' star we all demand from our true artists.
Go Vegas!: And I'm not talking the sweaty, leather-clad Elvis Vegas comeback special, but the Celine Dion style of Vegas show! Taking that stance and approach would give off the impression that her career was in fine shape. Costumes, dance numbers, explosions, albino tigers, magic, children's choirs and songs. Pure dynamite, pure Britney!
Uncle Sam wants you Britney -- to join the U.S.O.!: I don't think you'll find one sailor or armed forces member who hasn't spent time, alone, in a foxhole thinking about Britney and her talents as an artist. With the impending war, those numbers will increase significantly with young men, just out of high school who are ready to die for ... something. She should go to those lonely G.I.s aching for a taste of home and ask them to surrender to her overwhelming pop music might! Note: It also sets her up for the obligatory Iraq War film soundtracks that preproduction work has already begun for.
Last resort: Playboy. Yes, I know it goes against pretty much every previous bit of advice I've offered. But I look at it this way: If you're going to go down in flames, you might as well follow every other well-built hasbeen and do it naked.
Album sales in Canada, (Nielsen SoundScan): ...Baby One More Time - 922,820 copies; Oops! ...I Did It Again - 710,044 copies; and Britney - 316,944 copies.
Feb. 2002: Film debut Crossroads bombs at box office.
March '02: Breaks up with longtime beau Justin Timberlake.
May '02: Parents split up.
July '02: Walks off stage in Mexico, ending tour prematurely.
Aug. '02: Announces six-month hiatus from the music business.
Nov. '02: Ends hiatus and bails out of her New York restaurant.
Jan. '03: Romantically linked to bad boy Fred Durst which she then denies setting off two months of insults and innuendo.

Schoolboy's head 'smashed with wrench'
Wesley was a "cheerful and affectionate" boy
A schoolboy was raped, strangled, and hit with a wrench by a music student who lured him home, a court has heard.
Dominic McKilligan, 19, of Newcastle upon Tyne, denies raping 11-year-old Wesley Neailey and murdering him last year.
Prosecuting, John Milford QC told the jury Mr McKilligan had befriended Wesley so that he was confident to visit him at home, which he did on 5 June.
"In the garage the defendant raped the boy then killed him," he said.
Torn cheque
"Later in the same day he took the dead body into the countryside and dumped it where he hoped it would be unlikely to be found."
A ripped-up cheque made out to Wesley was later found in a waste bin at Mr McKilligan's home.
At first Mr McKilligan said he had lost his cheque book, then said he had written the cheque because Wesley, who also came from Newcastle, had offered to fix the brakes on his car, said the prosecution.
When asked by an officer whether he had done that to stop him breathing, Mr McKilligan repeated: "To stop him breathing."
He was also said to have told detectives: "I took the boy out in my car somewhere and I dumped him in a ditch.
"I have told you already about kids getting into the garage. He fell on a ratchet, there was blood everywhere."
Mr McKilligan led police to Wesley's body, dumped near the village of Healey, Northumberland, 20 miles from the boy's home.
The court was told there is forensic evidence linking Wesley to Mr McKilligan's garage, including traces of blood on his car.
'Cheerful boy'
"We submit that this was a deliberate killing," said Mr Milford. "He wanted to kill him and he did."
The court heard Wesley was an affectionate, cheerful boy, but had what was thought to be epilepsy and was behind at school, unable to tell the time or tie his shoelaces.
"He was more trusting and less wary of strangers than others of his age would be," said Mr Milford.
"He seemed quick to strike up friendships with those who lived round about, particularly students."
Lollipop man
Wesley had been collected from school by his mother on the day in question and had gone out later on his pink and white mountain bike.
The last person to see him alive was a lollipop man who said the boy had gone in the direction of Mr McKilligan's house.
His bike was later found in a back lane near the defendant's house.
The trial was adjourned until Tuesday.

In this post I'd like to discuss a feature of LightSwitch that helps speed up your development of HTML client applications. We first released this feature in Visual Studio 2012 Update 2 with the LightSwitch HTML Client and it is also available in Visual Studio 2013 Preview. Beth Massi briefly touched on some aspects of this feature in one of her "How do I" videos (jump to the 2 minute mark to see it in action).
LightSwitch Application Development
Making Development Easier
Let me introduce a feature we call "Edit & Refresh for LightSwitch HTML client". This feature allows you to continue your design & debugging experience without shutting down the runtime. As long as your changes are within the HTML client (adding and editing screens, editing an entity in the client perspective, writing JavaScript code, editing HTML & CSS, etc.) you no longer need to stop and restart debugging!
Let us walk through a couple examples. Using Visual Studio 2012 Update2, I have created a LightSwitch HTML Application (C# or VB) project. I have added a "Contact" entity and a "Browse" screen for Contacts.
Adding/Editing Screens and Editing Entities
Under "Debug configuration" launch the runtime (by pressing F5 or Start). The Browse Contacts screen is displayed with no data (because we haven't added any yet).
While running, let us add a screen for entering data and a button to launch it from the browse screen. Right-click on the rows layout and select "Add button" and choose the existing method "addAndEditNew".
The new screen gets added (see below). Notice that the screen designer and properties windows are available for editing so you can customize any part of the screen while debugging.
In many instances, changes might be spread across several files and clicking just the "Save" button on the toolbar or Ctrl+S might leave some files unsaved. Hence, when you are finished, click the "Save All" button on the toolbar or Ctrl+Shift+S.
Refresh the browser to see your updates. In many instances refreshing the browser will require navigating back to the Browse/Home screen.
Now let us add some data. While running, we can continue to customize the Browse Contacts screen by moving the "Add Contact" button above the list. We can also change the control from a List to a Tile List, or perform a multitude of other screen customizations. After you save and refresh the browser, the application is updated.
This also works under the HTML client perspective in the data designer. The designer & properties window is editable. Open the entity and select the client perspective at the bottom of the data designer.
Also note that adding a screen through here or through the Solution Explorer is also available while the application is still running.
Writing JavaScript Code
Similarly, you can add JavaScript code for screens and entities while the application is running. For instance, open the Contact entity in HTML client perspective, select the "Write Code" drop down, and choose the "Created" event. We can add code to the entity's Created event to set a default value – in this example we will set the "Active" field to true.
We can also customize the rendering methods for controls on any screen. For this example, let us customize the "Add Contact" button so that it shows the "+" icon. Select "Edit PostRender Code" link from properties (or alternatively, you can select "postRender" event from "Write Code" drop down).
You will be able to edit the existing JavaScript code, Save, and quickly verify the changes in the running application. Please note that while the application is running, the scripts shown under the "Script Documents" node in the Solution Explorer are read only. If you want to edit a JavaScript file in Visual Studio 2012, go to the "File View" by toggling the view (see below). After switching to file view, you will see the folder under the HTML client project containing your JavaScript code.
In Visual Studio 2013 Preview there is only one view so you can edit the JavaScript code directly. See Solution Explorer Enhancements for more information.
Editing CSS & HTML Files
Editing CSS and HTML files on disk should be as familiar as traditional Web development. You simply change a file in the project and refresh the browser to verify the change.
Let us change the theme of the application by making a small change in the htm file while application is still running. Like I described above, this will require going to "File View" (in VS2012). Under the HTML client project, open the default.htm file. We can make the following changes to switch to the dark theme.
Press "Save All" on the toolbar and refresh the browser to verify our changes.
Notice the dark theme of the application. Also note the customization of the "Add Contact" button that we made in JavaScript. If you click the "Add Contact" button, you will see the "Add Edit Contact" screen we added previously and the flip switch control for the "Active" field now defaults to Yes (true). You will see the BrowseContacts.js and Contact.js files that contain these modifications under the list of scripts in the Solution Explorer.
As you can see, there are a lot of modifications you can make to the HTML client while debugging. This should help speed up development of your LightSwitch applications.
Things to Remember
There are a few things to keep in mind when using this feature:
- Remember to launch your app under Debug Configuration (F5)
- You can't delete & rename screens while the application is running
- Undo & redo of changes in designers are not allowed at this time
- You can't edit screen queries because queries are executed on the server
- Always remember to Save All (Ctrl+Shif+S) after making changes and before refreshing the browser
As always, we love to hear about your experience with this feature and if you find it useful. Please leave a comment below or you can always leave feedback in the LightSwitch Forum.
-Sudhanshu Kulkarni, Developer, LightSwitch Team

Lone wolf ...
WATERTOWN, Massachusetts — Federal agents conducted Thursday morning raids in Massachusetts, New York and New Jersey in connection with the failed Times Square car bomb and arrested two Pakistani men who provided money to suspect Faisal Shahzad, law enforcement officials said.
The two Boston-area men had a "direct connection" to Pakistani-American suspect Faisal Shahzad, said a top Massachusetts law enforcement official. They are believed to have provided money to him. A law enforcement official familiar with the investigation said one of the men had overstayed his visa.

Will you be my special friend?
Fans who share their passion for NBC shows online could earn the network's appreciation — and prizes — in return. "Fan It," an initiative aimed at turning social-media users into an ad hoc promotional team for the network, will launch Monday, NBC said Thursday.
"A recommendation from a friend is infinitely more powerful than any message we can put out through conventional marketing channels," said Adam Stotsky, president of NBC Entertainment Marketing.
After signing up on NBC's website and logging in to their Facebook, Twitter, MySpace or MyNBC accounts, participants earn points through activities such as chatting about series and steering friends to NBC-related links.
The points can be redeemed for rewards including sneak previews of shows, NBC merchandise and entry into a sweepstakes to win big-ticket items such as attendance at the finale of "The Biggest Loser" or a prop from "The Office," the network said.

Elena Kagan's Thesis.
Doug Ross posts the Cliff Notes' version:
"I have transcribed some of the key graphs, below. In fact, you can read her entire, 130-page thesis in 90 seconds here if you wish. I'm not joking about that.
It's now crystal clear that Kagan was nominated for one reason: to rubber-stamp Obama's radical agenda, including an individual mandate for socialized medicine.
She is a radical. She is a socialist. And she must be blocked at all costs."
... the most painful two minutes of video you will ever watch.
Andy McCarthy:
"This YouTube clip from the Attorney General's testimony today will be the most painful two minutes of video you will ever watch. Mr. Holder would obviously rather get a root-canal than utter the words 'radical Islam' (despite the fact that his description of the American people as 'a nation of cowards' on race and of Bush officials as war criminals seemed to roll of the tongue without much difficulty)."

Legal Question in Employment Law in India
I am one of the 3 Divisional Managers with a Cooperative Bank in Bengaluru reporting to Asst Gen Manager, who has been recently promoted and heading the south region. There were healthy and official differences when we were peers and the same has been carried in mind by the present head of zone. My appraisals were very good when i worked under 2 seniors last 2 years. This year, quoting flimsy reasons the zonal head tried to spoil my appraisal. After lot of mail exchange and substantiating my performance in figures, the GM who is reviewing authority, gave me right rating.
Now, unable to withstand me and my another colleague Divisional Manager, the influential AGM has got both of us transferred to Mumbai, which every one knows is not right. I am 56 now and due to retire in 58. There is no remark against me in the bank and performance has been good in my profile. At this stage and age i cannot move to Mumbai alone due to family and financial reasons. And this transfer has come at the time when a junior has been promoted and has been posted in my place which is also not right successor.
Kindly advise if i challenge the transfer and bring stay. Kindly ask me for more information if required.

Empowering deserving military families with educational support and opportunities.
Will there ever be Myjoys for the M Project? I just saw that this year you introduced the contour casuals. when are the M projects coming to customization?
I asked this question while talking to FJ earlier this week. At this time it is not in the plan to put the M Project in the MyJoys program. That being said, FJ is one of those "never say never" companies so you never know!
They already have some pretty cool colors but MyJoys would take them to a new level.
We can only hope...I love the M Projects and would definitely like to see the custom option!
I agree, from what I have heard, no plans in the works, but if they get enough support, you never know.
While I LOVE the myjoys program I dont know if the M:Projects would be a great fit. However until it's tried I'm just going by personal opinion. I know I'd get a pair if they did. I love my M:Projects!
It would be great or if not, increase color options (would be nice to have a meshed navy version).

CUMMING, Ga. — A passion for lacrosse and shoes helped Natalie Howard lay the groundwork for her Girl Scout Gold Award project.
The Gold Award is equal to the Boy Scout Eagle Award. Any Gold Award project must address both local and global communities.
Howard, a senior at South Forsyth High School, combined lacrosse and shoes to raise awareness and goods for Sole Hope, a nonprofit organization bringing shoes, jobs and hope to widows and orphans in Uganda, Zambia and local Atlanta missions.
Howard's project began in March of 2012 by hosting an athletic shoe and equipment drive.
She promoted her drive throughout the county and collected about 200 pairs of shoes when it ended in May.
Howard continued her project out on the lacrosse field.
In April, Howard gathered 24 girls from first through fourth grade and seven varsity players for a lacrosse fundamentals clinic. The clinic helped raise money to cover shipping costs of the donated goods for Sole Hope. Howard said she and her teammates spent three hours with the girls running drills and teaching them the fundamentals of the game. Many of the girls who participated also brought donations of shoes and cleats to contribute to Sole Hope.
The third and global component of Howard's project was to prepare cutouts of shoes in several size patterns for Sole Hope.
"This group has identified the dire need for children in Uganda and Zambia to have simply sewn shoes made from recycled denim, lining material, heel reinforcements from plastic drink containers and the rubber from tires in order to combat the prevalence of parasites and disease caused by the lack of footwear," Howard said.
Howard hosted parties for people to get together and prepare cutouts and shoe patterns for the organization. The patterns were then shipped by Sole Hope to widows in Africa to be sewn together to create shoes.
"This is the highest award she can earn as a Girl Scout," Natalie's mother Kathy Howard said. "So we are quite proud of her that she has continued with Girl Scouts from kindergarten through her senior year at South Forsyth High School."

What a Great Place
Stayed at the Murray Premises Hotel last weekend. First time we'd stayed there and we were blown away. It's right downtown so we parked the car and were able to walk everywhere. The hotel is built into this really amazing historic building. Lots of exposed beams and pipes. At the same time you get fireplaces and towel warmers and big screen tv's. Loved the robes in the rooms - wish I knew where they got them from. Great place. We'll be back.

European isopropanol (IPA) producers are aiming to increase prices to improve margins, but lacklustre demand is preventing any potential firming, a trader said on 12 March.
"I know producers want to increase their prices," the trader said. "But lack of demand compensates, so we have had steady prices for two weeks now."
European IPA spot prices rolled over at €1,040-€1,110/tonne for technical grade and €1,140-€1,210/tonne for cosmetic and pharmaceutical grade.
Sources described availability as balanced-to-short, with participants from different parts of the market disagreeing on the supply and demand situation.
A trader suggested that a major producer had recently stopped bringing IPA into Europe because of higher import taxes, which had reduced availability.
"There is low seasonal demand from defrosters and windshield products and a bit of quietness in the market," a second trader said. "Demand and availability are more or less in balance… I don't see really too much change in prices."
However, some buyers and producers said demand was strong, with one producer indicating that it was selling high volumes.
One buyer said: "We have very high demand compared to the same period last year, roughly 20 percent higher."
"We have a number of different applications, for example intermediating products, with our main demand being focussed on cosmetics."
IPA spot prices are assessed on a free delivered (FD) northwest Europe (NWE) basis.

Just about everybody knows by now that New Pekin farmers markets are among the best places to find great local produce. Fortunately they are also great places to make friends, taste test new, fresh ingredients before you purchase, and even watch cooking demonstrations and entertainment on many occasions.
New Pekin farmers markets highlight the products from local farms and other agri-businesses, and they also happen in your own home town, so you aren't required to travel far to find them. They've been going on for years in some locations, but they have gotten popular in the last few years, so you should be able to find one not far from home!
The Benefits of Farmers Markets in New Pekin, IN
The benefits of shopping at your local New Pekin farmers market are many. First off, you know the produce and other items are as fresh as they can be, because they come directly from the farm to the market. Most crops available for sale at these markets are organically grown, so you know your friends and family will not be eating anything except farm-fresh goodness.
Also, New Pekin farmers markets are good for the environment. Farms contribute oxygen and remove carbon dioxide from the air, which can help minimize global warming, and usually, farmers don't need to drive too far to the market, so the environment gets another boost by using less fuel and contributing less pollutants into the air.
Typically, prices are cheaper at farmers markets, too, because the farmer doesn't have to mark up his prices to generate income from a wholesaler, who marks up the prices again before they get to the supermarket. So, you're actually paying less of your budget for a much better product, and who doesn't like that?
These markets benefit New Pekin farmers, as well, because they have a weekly (or daily) market to appeal to customers, plus they do not have to ship their products days or weeks in advance at wholesale prices, so they make a better profit, too. It's always safer to buy from local New Pekin farms, since the money stays in the local economy, and that means more jobs and profitability - all from buying fresh local produce!
Finding Your Local New Pekin Farmers Market
Farmers markets in most cases run from late May or early June through September or October, according to where you live and your climate. Really it all depends on the growing season in your area and when farmers can get their first products to market. New Pekin farmers markets are such a big deal now, that usually local newspapers will print a schedule of markets in your area as the season is about to begin.
Often, you'll find a schedule from your local Cooperative Extension or county agricultural board, too. They've become quite popular, in fact, that some communities enjoy a number of farmers markets every week, so it pays to shop all of them and choose the ones that provide the produce and other products you like the best.
What to Look for at a New Pekin Farmers Market
You are sure to find local New Pekin farms promoting their wares at affordable prices, but there are a few things to look out for. Make sure the produce is ripe and hasn't been sitting out in the sun too long, or has been damaged in transport. Nearly all booths will offer you a free taste of whatever you are looking at, so you can check out new flavors and crops you may not have had a chance to experience before.
Some farmers may even provide you with recipes and other ideas on how to serve their products, too. At the really big markets, organizers may bring in free entertainment, arts and crafts booths, and other amusements to draw in the crowds, and they may even provide play areas for the kids, too.
Look for other items at your farmers market, too. Sometimes local meat, cheese, and dairy producers bring their wares, and big markets are more like a county fair, with food booths, information booths, and even games for the whole family. So, check out a local New Pekin farmer market or two, and come home with everything else you need for a healthy, hearty dinner.
