Boaters in Central Texas are now required to drain their watercraft to help fight the spread of invasive zebra mussels.
State officials recently approved adding 30 counties in North and Central Texas to the requirement including Bell and Coryell counties.
"Communicating the severity of the zebra mussel invasion to the public is important for several reasons," said Virginia Sanders, a Fort Hood biologist. "These zebra mussels negatively impact the ecosystem, the water supply infrastructure and the recreational quality of the waters."
Zebra mussels were discovered in Belton Lake in September. The small, invasive species is one-eighth to 2 inches long, has a striped, yellow-brown shell and uses byssal threads to attach to rocks and other hard surfaces. Each one can produce 30,000 to 1 million offspring a year and cause significant damage. Zebra mussels can shut down a city's water supply by colonizing inside pipelines. They also can sink buoys and docks and damage boats and other structures in the water.
"The lessons learned from the zebra mussel infestation in the Great Lakes tells us that over the next few decades the zebra mussels will deplete the nutrients in Belton Lake, which will ultimately cause a decline in the abundance of fish and native freshwater mussels," Sanders said.
Stocking of live channel catfish for sport fishing will be discontinued in any Fort Hood lake or pond that becomes infected with zebra mussels. Military units also are required to drain and clean military vehicles after conducting training in the waters of Belton Lake.
To help prevent the invasive species spreading to other bodies of water, individuals leaving or approaching public water in the affected counties are required to drain all water from their vessels and on-board receptacles. This applies to all types and sizes of boats whether powered or not, personal watercraft, sailboats, or any other vessel used to travel on public waters.

Issac comes from an Alaska sled-dog racing family so it was fun to see some familiar faces in the crowd.. They were married above the banks of the Nenana River at the Princess Lodge, then went across the street to the beautiful Denali Grand with it's huge and impressive view from atop the bluff. After the ceremony we scoped out some cool spots and took one of my favorite bride-groom shots.. a totally manly truck with Leah and Issac hanging out with it.. and properly labled with the "Just Married" between two hearts. During our family photo sessions, their awesome birch arch blew over and almost took out the wedding party. All dove for cover in time and there were no injuries; even the arch came out unscathed.

JANE Clough's mother has branded her daughter's murderer a "sexual predator" after learning he tried to sexually assault a 14-year-old schoolgirl while working as a lifeguard in Preston in 2003.
Penny Clough has commended the strength and bravery of 23-year-old Kelly Fowler who reported the attempted assault by Jonathan Vass to police, but has asked why it was never brought to light.
She has since found out the police had made up a "bad character" file which was presented to the Crown Prosecution Service which she says could have stopped Vass being released on bail following 13 charges of rape against Jane.
But the allegations were never heard at the court bail hearing and he was freed to go on and stab Jane to death last July.
Penny said: "Looking at it we are very pleased this young girl has come forward but there are a lot of questions that need answering. At the time the girl was only 14 so he would also be classed as a paedophile."
Vass was working as an assistant at the leisure centre when he was accused of trying to put his hands down her trousers.
Due to lack of evidence the case was dropped.
Penny has now asked why Vass' past has never been brought up and wants to find out whether the CPS passed on the bad character file to the judge.
She said: "He's obviously a sexually predator. I think it is very important Vass should be in prison as a sex offender and dealt with as a sex offender."
She remains adamant she wants him to be tried for the rape charges and says his past should have been investigated.
This week Penny and her husband John received a letter from Keir Starmer QC, the Director of Public Prosecutions and head of the Crown Prosecution Service.
Penny said: "Mr Starmer said it was the CPS in conjunction with the judge who dropped the rape charges just because he pleaded guilty to her murder. At the murder trial we always believed up to the very last minute he was going to be held accountable for the rapes against Jane.
"It has always been the case that he would be tried, but when he put in a guilty plea to her murder they said the rape charges would lie on file.
"We were horrified and we find it very worrying the CPS have done this.
"It's sending out totally the wrong message. We as a country have the worst rape convictions in Europe.
"How could they ignore all the evidence and how can it not be in the public interest to have a rapist tried?"

OCD (Obsessive -Compulsive Disorder) is a mental disorder where on feel the need to repeatedly perform certain routines, have certain thoughts and check certain things. A person is unable to control thoughts and activities for a short period. A person suffering OCD may show obsessions and compulsion symptoms. OCD is a common mental disorder that affects children, teenagers and adults globally. OCD is typically treated with psychotherapy, medication or combination of the two. Here is a video to help you understand what OCD is and how it affects people.
How Therapy can help with OCD
Over the years only two types of psychological treatment has been proven to be effective by scientific researchers; behavior therapy and cognitive therapy. The two treatments are often used jointly, thus the term cognitive behavioral therapy.
a) Cognitive therapy
This type of therapy involves identifying one's anxious beliefs about the meaning of obsessions and replacing them with realistic thoughts. Pure cognitive therapy approach to OCD, offers a number of benefits including cognitive therapy avoids the discomfort of prolonged exposure and response prevention (ERP). CT can help with OCD in the following ways;
Replacing anxious beliefs and obsessions with reality.
- Eliminating the fear of unknown
- Eliminating the fear of losing control- enhancing self-control
b) Behavior therapy
Behavior therapy involves confronting a distressing situation, until the situation no longer triggers distress and also curbing anxiety behaviors. This type of therapy can help with OCD in the following ways;
- Eliminating anxiety behaviors
- Eliminating stressful situations
c) Combined therapy (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) )
In most cases joint treatment of is used for better results. The most common type of CBT treatment is called (ERP) Exposure and Response Prevention. CBT provides relief from the symptoms, thus the patients are able to live a normal live. CBT mostly involve exposing the patient to the feared obsession, thus the patients are able to let go the fear and obsession. Although this type of therapy takes time and practice, the results are far more better. CBT can help with OCD in the following ways;
- Enhancing self control and eliminating the fear of harming others.
- Reducing obsessions thought and activities such as intrusive violent and sexually explicit thoughts and images
- Reducing excessive focus on moral and religious ideas
d) Other related therapies e.g Habit Reversal Training
Other CBT related therapies include habit reversal training. This type of therapy involves awareness training, building motivation, development of a competing response and generalization of skills. HRT helps in eliminating certain obsessive habits. Several techniques are used that aid to ease the patient urge to obsessive activities. The techniques include deep breathing, visual imagery teachings and muscle relaxation.

|Cormorant Controversy
|Written by Bay City Times
|Monday, 18 July 2005 10:05
The charter crew was fishing Lake Huron near Alpena when a green blip registered on the boat's radar.
"Storm approaching," the captain said. The blip looked like any other storm cloud they'd encountered on Thunder Bay.
But on this particular summer day in 1996, a different black cloud - 20 years in the making - had come to roost in northern Lake Huron.
"It was cormorants," Alpena fishing guide Brad MacNeill recalled on a recent day. "A mile-long string of big, black birds. Flying low to the water. We watched them come in, coordinate and gang up on the forage fish. It was an amazing sight."
Amazing by any estimate. Lake Huron's double-crested cormorant, a federally protected bird, hovered near extinction just 30 years ago.
Today the goose-sized fish-eater numbers some 2 million in North America. A majority - some 70 percent - congregate around the Great Lakes from April to September for breeding. Federal wildlife managers estimate some 60,000 adult cormorants nest in Michigan.
To environmentalists, the cormorant's wildly successful recovery makes it the poster child for Great Lakes water quality.
But to anglers and growing numbers of resort-town business owners, the cormorant is the center point of a decimating fish population that's tied to many northern livelihoods.
Wherever the truth lies, the cormorant comeback prompted a dramatic federal rule change. Effective in 2004, the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service "depredation order" now allows for cormorant population controls - including killing.
Three groups - state wildlife agencies, American Indian tribes and the U.S. Department of Agriculture in 24 states including Michigan - can manage cormorants when and where they destroy public resources.
Wildlife managers say it was fishermen's fury, demonstrated in the illegal shooting of some 500 nesting cormorants five years ago on northern Lake Huron's Little Charity Island, that helped precipitate the federal review. The island kill left hundreds more fledgling and yet-to-hatch cormorants to die from exposure. The crime remains unsolved.
"Charity Island became one of those indicators of how much pent-up concern and animosity there was," said Peter Butchko, state director for the USDA's Wildlife Services, the lead agency in Michigan's cormorant control projects.
Taking control
By 2003, cormorant research was backing up public outcry against the bird, prompting the rule change, federal policy makers said.
Research concluded that cormorants were damaging some localized fisheries. Policy-makers reasoned that the bird was destroying vegetation and habitat where other, more fragile, colonial water birds nested.
Today, 18 months after the rules took effect, Michigan stands at the vanguard of U.S. cormorant control, wildlife managers say. Northeast Michigan is front and center.
Michigan, unlike many in the Great Lakes region, received federal funding for cormorant control projects along with its new authority, wildlife managers explain.
Nowhere are resources more committed than on northern Lake Huron's Les Cheneaux Islands. The 36-island archipelago northeast of Mackinac Island had been renowned for generations for its yellow perch fishery.
No longer. Les Cheneaux's century-old resort fishing industry vanished in less than a decade, and with it, the islands' social and economic fabric.
"It wasn't just a cyclical decline in the perch," Butchko said. "It was the unprecedented collapse of a huge industry."
The yellow perch crash coincided with exploding cormorant numbers, researchers and anglers say. The migratory water bird found Les Cheneaux's protected, predator-free islands attractive breeding grounds.
So it made sense for federal wildlife managers to launch pilot control measures on Les Cheneaux's major cormorant colonies first, in 2004.
State and federal agents began last summer by shooting 910 cormorants, nearly 15 percent of the islands' adult population. Crews also oiled eggs in 3,200 cormorant nests to eliminate reproduction. Oiling plugs the porous eggshells, suffocating the embryo inside.
This summer, the USDA and Michigan Department of Natural Resources raised the stakes. Crews are working to shoot 25 percent of the islands' adult cormorants and continue egg oiling.
Though Les Cheneaux already shows signs of improved fishing, researchers say the project is in its infancy. They'll need another year's data to gauge what's happening above and beneath the lake - to cormorants and fish - and refine a management approach for future controls, they say.
Even so, wildlife managers expanded cormorant controls this year to Alpena. Here on Thunder Bay, several remote islands have created well-established cormorant nesting sites.
In April, wildlife managers began controls at three cormorant feeding sites - a state-owned boat launch on Lake Huron called Rockport and neighboring Long and Grand lakes.
The three waterways had shown significant fish declines in recent years, paralleled by heavy cormorant foraging, managers say.
Volunteer crews, supervised by state and federal managers, worked round-the-clock in April and May to keep cormorants from the waters. The period marks the birds' migration to northern Lake Huron breeding grounds. The cormorants' arrival also coincides with fish spawning - and vulnerability.
To protect the Alpena fisheries, volunteers harassed the birds, shooting loud fireworks from boats. Volunteers were authorized to shoot the most stubborn of the birds. The fine for unauthorized shooting of a single cormorant: $2,500.
The project got rave reviews from even the most skeptical anglers who participated, including Lori Pahlkotter.
The Alpena mother runs a Long Lake bait shop and wholesale tackle business and has fished the area all her life. The USDA recruited Pahlkotter to coordinate volunteers.
"The fish decline here has put a big hurt on us these last few years," said Pahlkotter, 46. "Winters are bad, too, because the ice fishing bottomed out. It all happened when the cormorant showed up."
Though the Alpena control projects are too small-scale for her tastes, Pahlkotter and other volunteers agree that it accomplished its immediate goal. The birds spooked from all three local waterways, and the harassment saved the fish, they say. Wildlife agencies plan to repeat the program next year.
Too little, too late?
Still, many more sportsmen, and their legislators, are fed up. DNR and USDA efforts are too little, too late, they charge.
They ask: Why should an aggressive predator, so overly abundant, continue getting government protection when fishery resources are jeopardized?
"They're eating us out of house and home," said Steve Porter, owner of Bunyon Town bait shop in Oscoda. "The consensus among sport fishermen is that the fishery won't recover until they kill the cormorants. Killing them in little batches isn't enough.
"It's like exterminating a fraction of the termites in your home. The problem will continue."
Cormorant animosity is spreading. As Lake Huron forage fish populations plummet, the ever-adaptable cormorant has turned inland to feed on neighboring lakes and rivers.
It's hard, anglers say, to argue with their own eyes. Watch the open water and see first-hand the bird's astounding capacity to fish, they say.
The black flocks arrive in formation, coordinate their ranks, then dive deep - up to 100 feet, biologists say. As one flock surfaces, fish in bills, another waits behind to leapfrog the routine. So the feeding frenzy continues.
A single cormorant eats a pound of fish daily, biologists say. A thousand birds? That's a ton of fish every other day, 15 tons each month. No wonder anglers conclude cormorants are culprit No. 1 in the declining fish populations.
The cormorant's diet, highly flexible, also reflects what's most abundant and easiest to catch in any given area, researchers add. Documented stomach contents range from 2-inch fry to 22-inch walleye and an occasional turtle.
But wildlife biologists caution against scape-goating cormorants. Cormorants can alter ecosystems and damage local fisheries, they concede. But more often, multiple factors influence fish populations. The cormorant is typically one factor, but not the primary factor, biologists say.
Other major players include, for example, the zebra mussel. The exotic species has wreaked havoc on Great Lakes fish production. The state's salmon stocking program and consecutive tough winters for forage fish are all factors in recent fishery changes, researchers say.
"Just because an area has nesting cormorants doesn't mean it has a fish problem," said Ray Rustem, state Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist and non-game program supervisor.
"You have to interpret factors in combination. If there's lots of fishing pressure on a limited fish population, for example, the fishery can be more vulnerable to the effects of cormorants," he said.
"Cormorants are in the mix, but not necessarily the primary culprit."
The long view
What's next for Michigan, armed with new cormorant rules, is to compile the year's new data in Les Cheneaux, Alpena and elsewhere. Then, based on the science, planners need to begin setting priorities on when and where to next exercise control measures.
"We appreciate that the public is eager, even passionate, for more dramatic action. They're tired of studies," said Dave Fielder, DNR fisheries researcher. "But too many people are willing to blame the cormorant.
"In the big scheme, we're also still pretty short on research in this cormorant/fisheries equation."
Patience continues to wear thin among some northern residents. Many bought homes and moved north to build a life around their fishing passion.
Now the fish are diminished, and cormorants are plentiful.
"Why am I paying the price for the government's overprotection of these birds?" asked Don Wassman, who retired on Oscoda's Van Etten Lake 12 years ago.
"For the last two years, I've watched the cormorants come in here and slaughter the fish. I'm ready to start shooting just to draw attention to this ridiculous situation."
Wildlife managers urge the impassioned to join their volunteer ranks, helping document and report cormorant behavior and numbers. They caution that cormorant killing is still illegal unless authorized.
"We've got to take a longer view of our natural resources and where we want them to be," Rustem said. "It's taking years, for example, to bring white-tail deer numbers back in to check from their overabundance.
"We've got to take the same, science-based approach to the cormorant controversy."

Scrap Metal Thieves and Traders Targeted in Dorset Crackdown
8:31am 19th December 2013
Scrap metal traders in Dorset could face prosecution under new laws aimed at cutting down on scrap metal thefts.
Dealers now need a licence from their local council to collect, buy or sell scrap metal.
They also need to verify the identity of the seller.
Scrap metal thieves have targeted the county - stripping lead from church roofs and even stealing man hole covers.
The licence is required for both door to door collectors and scrap metal sites.
Both West Dorset District Council and Weymouth & Portland Borough Council are responsible for issuing the licences in West Dorset, Weymouth and Portland.
There are an estimated 1,000 metal thefts a week in the UK, which is said to cost the country around £220 million a year.
Cllr Robert Gould, Leader of West Dorset District Council, said: "Scrap metal thefts are a scourge on the community, causing damage to buildings and infrastructure.
"What these new laws will mean is that traders will need to prove their suitability to trade scrap metal to the council, which will reduce the likelihood of scrap metal thefts across the district."
The council's licensing team will be working with Dorset Police to enforce the new legislation.

The Brumbies have consolidated their position at the top of the Australian conference with a scrappy 20-3 Super Rugby win over the Cheetahs at GIO Stadium in Canberra.
The victory extended the Brumbies' win streak at home to eleven games, one shy of equalling a record stretching back to the 1996-1998 seasons.
The Brumbies appeared to show no ill-effects following the bye and a disrupted preparation due to the Wallabies camp in the lead-up, taking just three minutes to open the scoring.
Henry Speight, moving from the wing to outside centre due to a Tevita Kuridrani's shoulder injury, made a strong run and Christian Lealiifano soon after broke through for a try that he converted.
The home side dominated possession in the opening 20 minutes but were unable to add to their score while the visitors from Bloemfontein opened their account with a penalty goal to Joe Pietersen.
Despite all their territorial and possession dominance in the first half, the Brumbies only added another penalty goal for a 13-3 lead at halftime.
New starting lock Blake Enever snared his first try for the Brumbies early in the second half from a rolling maul, a tactic they kept using throughout the game with mixed results.
The rest of the half was a fairly scrappy affair with dropped ball hampering any chance of the game coming to life.
The Brumbies blew a number of chances because of a lack of patience and execution – Matt Toomua was pulled up for a double movement and Speight dropped the ball over the tryline – and would be disappointed to not bank a four-try bonus point.
The scrum battle was very intense with neither side able to get on top.
Despite a lack of ball and field position, the Cheetahs tried to get back into the game in the final 20 minutes but were let down by poor handling and strong Brumbies defence.
The Brumbies head to Auckland next week to take on the win-less Blues on Friday night while the Cheetahs face the Western Force in Perth on Saturday.

Sound — 10
From their debut album The Prodigy have managed to revive electronica, but their scene was threatened with the "Criminal Justice and Public Order Act 1994" which had effectively criminalised the rave scene and response is "Music for the Jilted Genration." Much like Kyuss's change of sound, The Prodigy had moved into longer tracks allowing Liam to implement keyboard riffs everywhere. Shifting the mood drastically in some tracks and for some disappointing slow. Overall this album has a much darker and more structured also there is less sampling as there was in their debut. The drums are more distinct across all the tracks which was the major downer of experience. Another standard out feature for me is the use of organs in certain tracks such as "One Love" and "No Good (Start the Dance)."
Lyrics — 8
The lyrics are less prominent and Liam uses this to jab the listener in some tracks such as "Their Law" "F--k 'em and their law" or such as in "Voodoo People" "magic people, voodoo people" but however Liam's most cleverest sample is the "Your no good for me I don't need nobody" form Helly Charles single "You're No Good for Me."
Overall Impression — 10
This album altogether has a much darker and underground feel to it and Liam is pretty much stretching his legs and treading into new areas. For me the most impressive songs on this album would have to be "No Good" and the last 3 "Narcotic" tracks. This album is lengthy and so you'll need to be a dedicated listener to fully appreciate this album 2 to 3 whirls in the CD player should get you into it. Also if I were to find another album that comes close to being this dark it would have to be Queens of the stone Age's "Lullabies to Paralyze" and for any rave fan this is a must have, as one other review stated this is the perfect album for British rave hordes dogging the police.


text: It might be a noob-question, but here goes: In my area there are a lot (a LOT) open wifi networks. My HTC Desire has the capability to auto-connect to these networks, but I am hesitant to enable this option. While a laptop working on an open Wifi is a risk, I am unsure on what the risk is with an Android phone. So my question boils down to this: is the auto-sync connection safe for use on open wifi networks? If yes, which connections are NOT safe on open wifi (like latitude, maps, the browser, etc)? And if no: is there any way to make it safe? Like using a vpn on a laptop or something similar.

Twitter is a really great social networking site. Over the years it has grown to be one of the biggest websites in the world. It has been predicted to grow bigger than Facebook, and although that hasn't happened just yet, it is very close to it. If you assess Alexa ranking Facebook is ahead with 2 while Twitter has 8.
However, if you look at page rank, Twitter has 10 and Facebook only 8. This page rank of 10 for twitter is the first ever perfect page rank I have ever seen with all of my web browsing. Not even Google itself — who creates page rank –- has a page rank of 10.
With that said, Twitter still frustrates many people. The main culprit for this is the fact that Twitter only allows an amount of characters to be typed into a message. If you are used to using Facebook – where you can post much more – it can be very frustrating trying to get a message across on Twitter. It is understandable why Twitter does this, the reason being it can get very cluttered with messages as it is let alone having people write more in a post. But that doesn't solve the problem. The only real solution there is naturally, is to give a "to be continued" signed and write them another message. But this feature is not ideal, especially if it is an important message. Thankfully though, there are ways around this problem so that you can post longer tweets on twitter.
The first way to post longer tweets on twitter is by a service called long tweets. The way long tweets works is it turns your message into a picture message. This picture will now be displayed on your Twitter timeline as though it was a message sent, thus making the entire message view-able to your audience.
The next solution, is to use a service called tall tweets. Tall tweet lets you send tweets as you normally would with the to be continued nature, but it ensures that your tweets stay in correct order and posted directly one after the other. The result being a product that doesn't differ much from the standard tweet, but it does all the separating and ordering for you automatic, so there is no need to do anything but say your normal message. Even though its very similar to the task you could do yourself, it takes away any of the pressure and works quite well. So when you hear the name tall tweets, don't think of taller letters, but instead think of tweets stuck together one after the other making it taller.
The save the best for last solution would bu for those who happen to use Mozilla Firefox. if you use this web browser then you are lucky enough to have an extension you can download called shorttxt. This extension, once downloaded, will let you post tweets more than 140 characters long.
These three services are the only services that are currently available to normal users. However if you are into hacking such as jailbreaking and rooting your devices, you will find a bunch of cool tweaks and apps that can also help you in other ways.

In the recent past, negative views about capital Delhi have ruled out the intelligence of people on social media and various other platforms. In addition to writing a proper Hindi blog on the Myth that Delhi is a rape capital, Here I am trying to bring to your notice that Delhi is not that bad as you might have assumed it to be. Scroll down to take some positive vibes about Delhi.
I have discussed Metro and Nightlife In Delhi in my previous write-ups. Here are the 13 facts about Delhi that will make you feel proud of being a Delhiite.
(1) Delhi Metro
Delhi Metro is the lifeline of Delhi. Since the metro is important for the capital city, it also stays the reason that makes us feel proud. The Delhi Metro Carries More Than 700 Million People In A Year, which is more than the double of the population of the United States of America. On a daily average, around 23 lakh people travel by metro in Delhi. To know some more facts about Delhi metro you can also read 13 Amazing Facts About Delhi Metro.
(2) Feel Proud On Your DTC Network
Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) is the main public transport operator of Delhi and we all know this fact. The Reason, why I am including it, is the fact given in the image above. In an international study by World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the conversion of Delhi into using CNG was regarded as one of the top 10 policies in the world. Delhi has more than 1 crore CNG run vehicles, to control the air pollution levels on the roads.
(3) Nightlife In Delhi
A Delhiite can never ignore the nightlife of Delhi while feeling Proud Of Being A Delhiite. Delhi has various things for the daytime but do you know about the Nightlife in Delhi? Yes, it is awesome. Here I have listed some places for night out if you are new to the city and its places- List Of Night Out Places In Delhi
(4) Dwarka- The Largest Subcity
Being a resident of Dwarka, One can feel the pride of residing in the biggest sub-city of Asia in Delhi. Dwarka is probably the best place in Delhi to live in.
(5) Street Food Of Delhi
Delhi is a foodies' paradise. From street food to international cuisines, Delhi, or as we lovingly call 'Dilli', can blow your mind in every expense. You can have a number of delicious and unique food items while in clubs in restaurants, From the Chhole Kulchas to the Parantha's of the Paranthe wali Gali, street food is the best thing in terms of food in Delhi. "O yeah" You will love it for sure.
(6) A Rich Heritage
We have already discussed Various Unique places in India but the reality that people from other countries always praise India as a hub of attractive cultural traditions. With 3 World Heritage Sites, 174 National Protected Monuments and hundreds of state protected monuments, the message goes strong about the rich heritage that Delhi has. The monuments have been protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI).

Budget phones with 8-megapixel cameras
If you want a phone for its camera capabilities, you don't need an expensive handset with blown out specifications. Here's our pick of smartphones under Rs10,000 with 8-megapixel cameras.
Let's say you're looking to get something specific out of your smartphone; there's no reason to pay heavily for a whole bevy of features that you don't want and may never use. If, for example, you're looking for a phone just so that you can take good photos with it, you don't have to pay upwards of Rs40,000.
This feature article focuses on budget smartphones that offer 8-megapixel cameras. There are several out there that will fit your budget if you like capturing photography with your cell phone camera. Nothing too professional; just quick, good quality pictures. And with the power of the operating system that a smartphone affords over a standard point-and-shoot, you can even beautify your shots with several apps.
We'll have other feature articles that tell you about other budget alternatives which bring you specific features in a phone.
Prices last updated on June 4, 2014.
Micromax Canvas Doodle (A111)
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: Autofocus with dual LED flash
Price: Rs8,800
Camera features: Besides autofocus, the phone has a night mode for low light photos and 4x zoom. The 2-megapixel front camera is an interesting addition.
Other features: With a large 5.3-inch capacitive screen, the Canvas Doodle gives you a good platform to view your shots. But being a budget phone, the screen resolution is limited to 480×854 pixels. RAM is less at just 512MB, and of the 4GB internal ROM, just 1.2 is available. However, memory expansion is possible up to 32GB. The phone has a 1.2GHz, quad-core processor.
Intex Aqua N8
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: Autofocus, flash
Price: Rs9,000 (MRP); available for Rs8,000
Camera features: In addition to the 8-megapixel camera with AF and flash at the rear, the Aqua N8 has a 2-megapixel front-facing snapper which also comes with autofocus.
Other features: Only 512MB of RAM here, but you get a 1.3GHz, quad core processor and Jelly Bean. The dual-SIM gadget has a 4.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 854x480p. Internal storage space is less but you can expand memory with a microSD card. The battery – at 1,750mAh – is also small.
Xolo Q700S
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: AF, dual LED flash
Price: Rs9,000 (MRP); available for Rs7,500
Camera features: The rear camera incorporates a BSI sensor for clarity and can record video at 1080p. Unfortunately, the front camera is of VGA resolution only.
Other features: The great thing about the phone is that it has 1GB of RAM and a 4GB internal ROM (however usable space will be less) which is expandable by up to 32GB. The battery is not very large though – 1,800mAh – but then again the screen is 4.5 inches across. Speed comes from the 1.3GHz, quad-core CPU and the 416MHz Mali GPU.
Lava Iris 458q
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: Autofocus with LED flash
Price: Rs9,000 (MRP); available for Rs8,100
Camera features: Besides the AF and LED flash, the Iris 458q offers face detection and a panorama mode. The front camera, however, is just 0.3-megapixel.

Karbonn A29
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: AF, LED flash
Price: Rs6,293 (online)
Camera features: A 2-megapixel front camera trumps many budget models with VGA camera facing the user.
Other features: The A29 has an IPS screen 4.7 inches across with a resolution of 540x960p and it has gesture support. The 512MB of RAM may be less, but the 4GB internal storage (2.5GB usable) is expandable by up to 32GB. The dual-SIM phone comes with a 1.2GHz, dual-core CPU and a 2,000mAh battery.
13-megapixel camera for the price of 8-megapixel
Intex Aqua i5 HD
The Intex Aqua i5 HD gives you a 13-megapixel camera but still manages to squeeze into our tight budget. You can consider the phone if you want even more photography power (larger images).
Camera: 13-megapixel
Extra features: Autofocus, flash
Price: Rs10,000
Camera features: The 13-megapixel rear camera also has exciting features such as voice capture, panorama, HDR and continuous shot modes. A colossal 5-megapixel front camera should allow you to take clear selfies.
Other features: The i5 HD has a 5-inch screen with a resolution of 720x1280p, 1GB of RAM and a 1.3Ghz, quad-core processor. The 2,000mAh battery should be powerful enough to handle the large screen. However, in-built memory is small, although you can easily expand by as much as 32GB.
Also consider
These smartphones are just beyond the Rs10,000 budget tag we've set. But you should check them out if you can allot a little more cash to your purchase. They have a more premium feel and are from more highly rated manufacturers.
LG Optimus L7 II Dual
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: Autofocus with LED flash
Price: Rs14,500 (MRP); available for Rs12,500

There is also cheese shutter function – which allows you to take photos by saying out certain words – and you can control the ISO from 100 to 400.
Other features: The phone doesn't have that much RAM – you'll have to make do with 768MB – but there is a 1GHz, dual-core processor. Your shots will display on a 4.3-inch, true IPS display; however, screen resolution is just of the WVGA type (i.e. 800x480p). The L7 II Dual has 4GB of internal memory to store your photos, but only about 1.8GB is available. However, you can expand memory by up to 32GB using an external card. LG claims the 2,460mAh, Li-ion battery will last over 850 hours on standby or for 12.5 hours of talk time.
Lenovo S720
Camera: 8-megapixel
Extra features: AF with LED flash

Camera features: Besides geo-tagging (a feature that many smartphones include for their photos), the S720's camera also has face detection and allows you to tap the screen to focus on a point.

The education equation
The Real Maverick Orem, UTOct. 12, 2012 11:17 p.m.
I have a better idea, lets base the salary of our elected officials on merit pay! Lets see how they like it!
RedShirt USS Enterprise, UTOct. 12, 2012 2:21 p.m.
Unfortunately the problems that we see in schools are the result of society. Just look at other countries around the world. In some countries, you have to pass tests to go to highschool and college, otherwise you are sent to a trade school. Some average 60 kids in a classroom, and maintain higher test scores than their US counter parts. Some countries will fire the administrators and teachers in failing schools and replace them.
Yes some of the problem lies with the teachers, but when you have parents who will sue the school because their child failed a class you can see that the problem isn't totally on the shoulders of the teachers.
At the same time, the success of teachers is not due entirely to their efforts. For example, if you have a teacher who only teaches the basic math course that is required for graduation and compare them to the teacher who teaches an optional Calculus course, I would bet that the Calculus teacher would come out on top every time.
If you want to fix our schools, first fix society. For what is being spent per child on public education, they could get a private education.
Christian 24-7 Murray, UTOct. 12, 2012 12:53 p.m.
Great letter!
There is a reason we pay teachers by years served. As the daughter of an auto shop teacher, merit pay based on test scores seems to ridiculous. So often students who are largely unsuccessful in school are sent to try shop to see if they can do better there. Some may excel there, but so many have other issues as pointed out in your article, that they cannot succeed. If we were to really look at merit pay, we would have to rate each student on the difficulty to educate and factor that in, to appropriately reward those exceptional teachers who take the challenge to teach the toughest kids. But clearly that would be so complex and expensive that it would counterproductive.
Hutterite American Fork, UTOct. 12, 2012 9:05 a.m.
Nicely said. If I were a teacher in front of a classroom full of utah students, and they told me my pay was tied to their performance, I'd be looking for a cab driver job. Unless I was the phys ed teacher and I was looking at a hand picked class full of basketball players.
one old man Ogden, UTOct. 12, 2012 8:56 a.m.
An excellent, sensible letter. Thank you, Sir.

Day 4 - Hohburg/Black Forest
Black Forest Travel Blog› entry 6 of 19 › view all entries
We left Zum Engel at 6am(!) (oh and I just googled it, and apparantly it's in Hohberg, which means nothing to me but still, at least I know where I was. It's in Ortenau in Baden-Württemberg - which does make sense because that's where the Black Forest is) and progressed further into the Black Forest proper, seeing more and more snow as we went on, which was quite strange for April I think. The sides of the hills were literally coated with snow and of course, it was freezing.
We stopped at a cuckoo clock making place, somewhere near where Marie Antoinette had stayed for the night (apparantly) The building had a cuckoo clock thing on the side of it, like the bird popping out and the various dancing people popping in and out and suchlike and a clock and just the whole thing really. We got the whole cuckoo making, Black Forest experience.
To say that I was inappropriately dressed for the weather was an understatement. I had on ballet shoes, really light weight white cord trousers, a really thin top and my white jacket. Yes, me in the snow with no socks on and those shoes :-| It was beyond freezing, verging on frostbite for me most probably, well not really, but it was really really cold. I didn't expect snow! We got to see how cuckoo clocks were made and suchlike and then went on our way, which I was beyond thankful for.

From John Bunyan's classic The Pilgrim's Progress, Part II, Section 2, Step 4.7.
Now about this time their month was out; wherefore they signified to those of the house, that it was convenient for them to up and be going. Then said Joseph to his mother, It is proper that you forget not to send to the house of Mr Interpreter, to pray him to grant that Mr Great-Heart should be sent unto us, that he may be our conductor for the rest of the way. Good boy, said she, I had almost forgot. So she drew up a petition, and prayed Mr Watchful the porter to send it by some fit man to her good friend Mr Interpreter; who, when it was come, and he had seen the contents of the petition, said to the messenger, Go, tell them that I will send him.
When the family where Christiana was, saw that they had a purpose to go forward, they called the whole house together, to give thanks to their King for sending of them such profitable guests as these. Which done, they said unto Christiana, And shall we not show thee something, as our custom is to do to pilgrims, on which thou mayest meditate when thou art upon the way? So they took Christiana, her children, and Mercy, into the closet, and showed them one of the apples that Eve ate of, and that she also did give to her husband, and that for the eating of which they were both turned out of paradise, and asked her what she thought that was. Then Christiana said, It is food or poison, I know not which. So they opened the matter to her, and she held up her hands and wondered (Gen. 3:6; Rom. 7:24).
Then they had her to a place, and showed her Jacob's ladder (Gen. 28:12). Now at that time there were some angels ascending upon it. So Christiana looked and looked to see the angels go up: so did the rest of the company. Then they were going into another place, to show them something else; but James said to his mother, Pray, bid them stay here a little longer, for this is a curious sight. So they turned again, and stood feeding their eyes with this so pleasant a prospect.
After this, they had them into a place where did hang up a golden anchor. So they bid Christiana take it down; for said they, You shall have it with you, for it is of absolute necessity that you should, that you may lay hold of that within the veil (Heb. 6:19), and stand stedfast in case you should meet with turbulent weather (Joel 3:16): so they were glad thereof. Then they took them, and had them to the mount upon which Abraham our father offered up Isaac his son, and showed them the altar, the wood, the fire, and the knife, for they remain to be seen to this very day (Gen. 22:9). When they had seen it, they held up their hands, and blessed themselves, and said, Oh, what a man for love to his Master, and for denial to himself, was Abraham!
After they had showed them all these things, Prudence took them into a dining room, where stood a pair of excellent virginals; so she played upon them, and turned what she had showed them into this excellent song, saying,
Now, about this time, one knocked at the door; so the Porter opened, and behold, Mr Great-Heart was there. But when he was come in, what joy was there! for it came now afresh again into their minds, how but a while ago he had slain old Grim Bloody-man the giant, and had delivered them from the lions.
Then said Mr Great-Heart to Christiana and to Mercy, My Lord has sent each of you a bottle of wine, and also some parched corn, together with a couple of pomegranates; he has also sent the boys some figs and raisins; to refresh you in your way.
Then they addressed themselves to their journey, and Prudence and Piety went along with them. When they came to the gate, Christiana asked the Porter if any of late went by. He said, No; only one, some time since, who also told me, that of late there had been a great robbery committed on the King's highway as you go. But, said he, the thieves are taken, and will shortly be tried for their lives. Then Christiana and Mercy were afraid; but Matthew said, Mother, fear nothing, as long as Mr Great-Heart is to go with us, and to be our conductor.
Then said Christiana to the Porter, Sir, I am much obliged to you for all the kindnesses that you have showed to me since I came hither; and also for that you have been so loving and kind to my children. I know not how to gratify your kindness; wherefore, pray, as a token of my respect to you, accept of this small mite. So she put a gold angel in his hand; and he made her a low obeisance, and said, "Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head want no ointment" (Eccles. 9:8). Let Mercy live and not die, and let not her works be few (Deut. 33:6). And to the boys he said, Do you fly youthful lusts, and follow after godliness with them that are grave and wise (2 Tim. 2:22): so shall you put gladness into your mother's heart, and obtain praise of all that are sober-minded. So they thanked the Porter, and departed.

text: Well last night was a horror story when I went to pick up EVO number 4 at Radio Shack. I spent over 3 hours at the R/S store getting the phone replaced. To make a long story short Evo #3 was replaced through Sprint service because Radio Shack could not get me a phone for at least 3 weeks Sprint arranged a service replacement handset (no battery or sd card) sent to the local sprint service center store for the replacement exchange. Then just one week later the OTA update bricked my handset that they just replaced. I again called the service center and was told because it was part of the OTA "bricking" I could only get it replaced now through the selling agent Radio Shack and they would call R/S and make the arrangements and they did. Cut to last night............. I get to the store the kid goes Oh yea your the guy that Sprint called us about that got bricked by the OTA we have your phone put away. Takes out the box and unwraps the handset programs it all good then he starts with the paperwork. Says ahhhh the ESN isn't matching the last phone we gave you I say its because Sprint replaced it for me when you didn't have any coming in. Kid goes we can't take this phone back its Sprints phone not R/S!!! you have to go back to Sprint. Then I say well didn't Sprint call you two weeks ago and tell you I had to get the phone replaced at your store because they bricked it with the OTA?? Well yea but this is Sprints phone I can't take it back!!! We didn't sell you this phone!!! I'm like OMFG he gets on the phone with C/S and starts screaming at Sprint and they hang up on him. He calls again after an hour on the phone he gets disconnected again and still no resolution. Now I call Sprint on the new phone thats already activated mind you again we go around and around finally Sprint says I should take the phone to another Sprint store 40 miles away and they will put me on another waiting list to get another phone from them. I EXPLODE then the Radio Shack kid takes the phone and says I have already been without a handset for two weeks why should I be made to wait on still another list why can't they just send that store another phone overnight Sprint refuses. It ends up im now there a 1/2 hour past the stores closing time with no resolution and the kid just hands me the new EVO and says go I don't know what else to do I hope I don't get fired. I called Sprint today and continued my bitching about what had happened. Sprint said R/S should have just given me the handset and they would work it out with R/S. Sprint paid my bill for the month for my trouble but IMO they still suck. THE END Sprint You Suck and Radio Shack You Do Too!

Chennai, Dec 6 A three day holiday has been declared in Tamil Nadu following the death of Tamil Nadu Chief Minister, J Jayalalithaa. The decision was taken by the education department following the death of the CM at 11.30 PM.
On Monday there was speculation about the schools being open or not. After announcing that the schools and colleges would be shut, it was later decided to reverse the decision.
However now with an update from the Apollo hospital, schools and colleges have decided to remain shut for the next three days. This has been done as a mark of respect and also a precautionary measure. The state which is already on high alert will go into a state of mourning following the news about the death of Jayalalithaa.
Earlier Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted that the country had lost a great leader. He said that her connect with the poor will always be an inspiration to many.

The Senate has announced a national inquiry into insolvency in the Australian construction industry (Inquiry).[1]
The Senate Economics References Committee will conduct the Inquiry and report by 11 November 2015. The Inquiry is set to canvass the scale and incidence of insolvency in the Australian construction industry, and in particular:[2]
- The causes and effects of industry insolvencies;
- The amount of money lost by creditors in the industry;
- The impact of insolvency in the industry and it's productivity;
- The adequacy of the current law and regulation to reduce insolvencies in the industry;
- The incidence and nature of misconduct related to insolvencies in the industry, including 'phoenix' companies and unlawful debt collecting and related activities.
The terms of reference do not require the inquiry to make recommendations for reform, although this is a natural next step.
Do we need an inquiry?
The construction sector is one of Australia's highest risk industries in which to operate. The construction industry is consistently ranked as having one of the highest rates of insolvencies of any industry in Australia, with the percentage of construction companies being placed into administration hovering around 22% to 24% annually. [3] In a speech to the Senate in August, Senator Cameron quoted a figure of $2.64 billion[4] as the estimated amount of money lost by creditors in construction related insolvencies annually.[5]
Adding to the complexity of the problem is the phenomenon of 'phoenix companies' where a company deliberately goes into liquidation to avoid paying tax, creditors or employees. The business then 'resurrects' through a different entity. It is particularly prevalent in the construction sector. This enables a company that owes money to creditors and employees to restart without paying its debts.
What is the current regulatory framework?
While various state level inquiries have sought to address the issue of high levels of insolvencies in the industry, with a recent example being the NSW Collins Inquiry,[6] the focus of such inquiries has been on reforms to the Security of Payment legislation (versions of which are operating in almost every state and territory) which provide for rapid adjudication of payment disputes in the construction industry. It is the Commonwealth that regulates insolvency and company practices, primarily through the Bankruptcy Act 1966 and the Corporations Act 2001.
Bruce Collins QC, in his 2012 Report, laid out the following challenge to the Commonwealth entities responsible for administering and regulating such activities:
"Surely there is more work in this area to be done by the Australian Tax Office and ASIC to ensure that the honest operators in the industry, that is the overwhelmingly proportion of contractors, subcontractors and suppliers, get a better deal. The flight of the phoenix is prevalent in the building and construction industry in NSW."[7]
Under the Corporations Act the capacity of subcontractors to make a claim against a company in administration, is limited to that of an unsecured creditor, being a creditor who does not have a charge over the company's assets and will rank behind secured creditors.
Will the national Inquiry bring change?
The Inquiry is in a position to address issues in relation to the duties of company directors and officers under the Corporations Act. Among other duties, the Corporations Act sets out the obligation on company directors to prevent insolvent trading and establishes the rights and responsibilities of the parties involved in the business operations of an insolvent company. Issues with practical enforcement of such laws in the construction sector may well be a focus. There is also likely to be consideration of whether the Corporations Act should be amended so as to give unpaid subcontractors a preferred position amongst creditors in insolvency.
If the Inquiry also considers ways to ameliorate the impacts of insolvency on the industry's most vulnerable participants, subcontractors, project bank accounts and the statutory construction trust could also become areas of interest for the Inquiry (areas that are already the subject of considerable attention from legislators at state level as outlined in our update here).
We note that only 2 of the 6 members of the Committee tasked with conducting the Inquiry are Liberal/National Senators and there is no guarantee that the Government will take action in relation to the recommendations of a Labor-led Inquiry. Nonetheless, the Inquiry may assist in sparking a national conversation on a thorny and pervasive issue within our industry. It is also likely to add momentum to the reform agenda in relation to the regulation of distressed and insolvent construction companies across Australia and their creditors.
Stakeholders will be following the investigations and recommendations made by this national inquiry with interest.

Create, modify, or delete a motion path
You can generate an animation timeline automatically by using the Convert to Motion Path tool that makes a target object follow a path on the artboard, whether that path is a line or the perimeter of a shape (such as an ellipse or a rectangle). You can then modify the motion path, changing the path of travel, the repeat count, and the orientation of the object to the path.
If you do not yet have an object that you want to make follow a motion path, create the object, and then give it a name. (You do not have to create the moving object first, but it simplifies this procedure. You also do not have to give the object a name, but it makes it easier to identify your object in a later step when you use the Convert to Motion Path tool.)
If you want to apply the motion path to more than one object, you can group the objects into a panel object and then apply the motion path to the panel. To group objects together, select the objects under Objects and Timeline (hold the CTRL key to select more than one), right-click your selection, point to Group Into, and then click the type of panel that you want.
If you have a storyboard into which you want the motion path timeline to be added, select the storyboard from the Storyboard picker by clicking the Open a Storyboard button under Objects and Timeline. Otherwise, create a new timeline by clicking the New button, and give it a name.
Move the playhead to the location where you want the motion path to start.
If you have existing storyboards in your application, but you do not select one before creating a motion path, then the motion path will be added to the first timeline listed in the Storyboard picker. If you have no storyboards in your application before you create a motion path, one will be created that has a default name.
From the Toolbox, select the drawing tool that can produce the path that you want your moving object to follow.
If you want your object to move in a circular or rectangular motion, select the Ellipse or Rectangle tool. You can modify a shape on the artboard by using the Selection tool and dragging the blue adorners that appear around the object, or by changing the properties in the Transform category of the Properties panel.
By default, a motion path starts at the top-left corner of a rectangle, and at the right side of an ellipse. If you want your starting point to be different, then rotate the shape before you create the motion path. Additionally, motion paths run clockwise, so if you want your motion path to run counter-clockwise, flip the shape (point to Flip on the Object menu) before you create the motion path.
If you want your object to move along a drawn path, use the Pen or Pencil tool. You can modify a drawn path using the Direct Selection tool to move individual points.
By default, a motion path starts at the origin (first point) of a drawn path.
Draw your path object onto the artboard.
You can create more complex shapes and paths by using the pen, compound path, and clipping tools. For more information, see Convert a shape to a path, Change the shape of a curve, Combine shapes or paths, and Apply, modify, or remove a clipping path.
With your path object selected under Objects and Timeline, set the Fill property in the Brushes category of the Properties panel to No Brush and set the Stroke property to Solid Color Brush . This step is not required, but it makes it easier to see the outline of your path object clearly.
With your path object still selected under Objects and Timeline, point to Path on the Object menu, and then click Convert to Motion Path. The Choose Target for Motion Path dialog box appears.
The target for the motion path is your moving object. Select the name of your moving object from the list, and then click OK.
If you have not named your moving object under Objects and Timeline, its type will be displayed in the Choose Target for Motion Path dialog box. After you create the motion path, your moving object will automatically be named. This is because an object must have a name to be referenced elsewhere in your application.
After you click OK, a motion path timeline is generated that represents the movement of your object along the path. The timelines is added to the open storyboard or a new storyboard.
At this point, you can delete the shape or drawn path that you used to generate the motion path, because it is not a part of the timeline.
To modify the playing time of the motion path, expand the nodes of your moving object under Objects and Timeline until you see the Motion Path node, and then on the timeline, drag the blue bars on the ends of the shaded time-span bar. You can also modify the repeat count for your motion path. For an example, see Set the loop duration.
Click the Play button to test your new motion path.
Open the storyboard that contains the motion path. For more information, see Open or close a storyboard.
Select the Direct Selection tool from the Toolbox.
Select your moving object under Objects and Timeline. A dashed line with points (vertices) will appear on the artboard representing your motion path.
Modify the path using any one of the following methods:
Drag a point.
Add a new point to the path by selecting the Pen tool and then clicking the dashed line.
Move the curve between two points by dragging the curve.
Change the shape of a curve between two points by holding the ALT key when you drag the curve.
Click a point and then drag one of the tangent endpoints.
For more path modification features, see Pen and direct selection usage.
Expand the nodes of your moving object under Objects and Timeline until you see the Motion Path node.
On the timeline, drag the blue bars on the ends of the shaded time-span bar. You can also modify the repeat count for your motion path. For an example, see Set the loop duration.
If your motion path is the only timeline in the storyboard, you can delete the storyboard.
If your motion path is not the only timeline in the storyboard, you can just delete the motion path timeline. Expand the nodes of your moving object under Objects and Timeline until you see the Motion Path node, and then press DELETE.
