A big no for Club Glo
City Council council Monday night voted to tell the State Liquor Control Commission to not renew Club Glo's liquor license. The lawyer representing the club begged for more time to right the wrongs, but almost everyone in the council chambers agreed, the club has had more than enough time to clean up it's act.
"I love the area I live in and right now, to be honest with you, I don't feel safe because of Glo, they need to go," said Mina Baby.
Ferndale City Council got an earful from ticked off residents. Their beef: Club Glo, the nuisance nightclub next door.
"My children, I try to refrain from having them go outside and play because of the liquor bottles, the used condom that was found by my daughter, the broken glass," said Brian Baby.
"This is not going to get better, it's going to get worse."
On the agenda Monday night, an objection to it's liquor license renewal because of non-compliance. The problems started when the club opened in November, then came the noise, trash, and drunk club goers.
"We were threatened Tuesday night by patrons verbally, our home was threatened, we were physically threatened as well."
It all came to a head last week when two unlucky patrons were stabbed on St. Patrick's Day; another was knocked upside the head with a bottle.
"We did locate a blood trail near the exterior of the building, little question in mind that it happened inside the building."
"The last time I checked, the police officer saying I've come to my conclusion and tried to put the evidence into it, usually comes up on the wrong side of it," said Attorney Todd Flood.
Todd Flood represents the club's owners.
"He turned a deaf ear to the fact that the guy, (one of the victims), tried to bribe or extort the owner by $200,000 the next day," said Attorney Todd Flood. "C'mon there's an agenda all the way around."
And he says that includes the backlash against Club Glo.
"I would highly suggest that these business owners find a new city or a new type of business because these residents are ready to run you out of town with pitch forks and torches," said Ferndale Council Member Greg Pawlica.
"The clientele is primarily black, it's 90 percent, but I didn't want to get into race, but when I heard the pitchforks and blow torches, that kinda blew me away," said Flood.
"Has nothing to do with ethnicity," said Phil Elam. Nothing? "Nothing the bottom line is safety. Like I said, I'm a black American male, grew up in Detroit, and my partner and I actually had to put pylons in our driveway to prevent people from turning into our driveway and parking in our driveway."
When it was all said and done, the vote was a no brainer for city council.
But here's the catch. Club Glo is operating on a temporary liquor license that expires in September, so this place will remain open until then. The city is trying to figure out what it can do to quell drama until then.

"I found my experience at DCH very ..."
About: Dorset County Hospital Dorset County Hospital Dorchester DT1 2JY
Posted via NHS Choices (as ),
What I liked
I found my experience at DCH very pleasant. From the time that I went into surgery to the day that I went home. Everybody was most helpful, kind and sencere. The food was lovely, the cleaning staff was very thorough.
The Dr.s, Staff Nurses and Nursing Assistants were all lovely, they gave me good advice, and I wouldn't hessitate to recommend this hospital.
I was in hospital for 3 days, and was very well looked after. Well done everyone at DCH, who looked after me, you all do a remarkable job!!!!
What could be improved
It is really hard to think of anything, maybe though, the waiting time between each consultation could be shortened, I found it took a long time to get to the stage where it was decided that surgery was my best option., but apart from that nothing else.
Anything else?
I think we are lucky to have such a lovely hospital, and know from family members who live in another part of the country, that other hospitals are not so good as ours with their care.

Celebrities love high heels and Instagram. What happens when the two meet? Lots of interesting photos. We chose our six current favorite Instagram celebs.
We begin with Ariana Grande. The singer loves to post mostly funny photos, montages and pictures of her having fun with friends. But every now and then Ariana also posts more artsy photos like this one.
Hot, no? Taylor Swift is another singer who loves Instagram. She is quite active on the photo-centric social media, but posts monstly pictures from her live shows, studio work and… her cats. It wouldn't be an Instagram profile without cat pictures, right?
Angry flamingo strikes again tonight. #1989TourCologne
A photo posted by Taylor Swift (@taylorswift) on
Kylie Jenner is also a big fan of Instagram. She often posts various pics from her daily activities, outfits of the day, parties and so on. There is also the occasional more artsy picture like this one.
Not to be outdone Kendall Jenner is also on Instagram. The glamorous model shows off a mix of fun pictures, nice panoramic views, her latest work, daily outfits and many more. This one is amongst our all time favorites, though.
yesterday with @esteelauder for the #TFFAwards❤ #KJ4EL
A photo posted by Kendall Jenner (@kendalljenner) on
Rihanna is not only the bad girl of music. She is also the bad girl of Instagram. Her profile is filled with all kinds of pictures from her everyday life. You can see her trying out new outfits, meeting with friends or simply owning the given event she is attending.
Shakira on the other hand is much more… lets say held back on the social media site. The famous singer posts pictures somewhat rarely, which is sad. With that being said, when she does posts a picture, you will notice.
And one more for good luck. Here is Beyonce who often sees the fun side. So if one Beyonce is not enough for you, how about five?
As you can see most celebrities love Instagram. This is great as we can see them in a different light, outside the studios and stage. And we get yet another chance to gaze at their high heels, of course. Like this one.

text: I am trying to figure out if it is possible to pick which network I want the phone to be on. Here is my issue. At my house the "EV network" is complete crap. I get full signal but data to the phone will come for about 2 seconds, stop for 8 seconds, come again, then stop again etc etc. Last night on the couch my phone showed the "1x Network." So I did the speed test and it was constant speed no break ups. Browsing was fast enough for my liking. Is there a way to pick and choose the 1x over the EV or does the Moment automatically pick it for you.

Former Chief Election Commissioner ATM Shamsul Huda has come forth with a suggestion that calls for serious and purposeful discussion. The names of individuals shortlisted for the positions of CEC and Election Commissioners, he has said, should be publicized through the media in order for public scrutiny to be applied to an examination of the ability or otherwise of the nominees for the Election Commission. Coming from a person whose high reputation as CEC under the last caretaker regime remains impeccable, the idea must not be ignored. Men like Huda do not make frivolous statements. On his watch, in company with his colleagues Sakhawat Hossain and Sohul Hossain, a properly fair and transparent election was gone through by Bangladesh's people in December 2008. That is a record not many in the history of the Election Commission have been able to equal.
The suggestion that the names of all nominees for the top positions at the Election Commission, as they appear on the shortlist, be made known to citizens has some clear advantages. In the first place, if and when the principle of a publicizing of names is accepted, it will become incumbent on the President and on the party in power to ensure that only individuals with proven careers in probity are considered for the EC. Again, once the names appear in the media, a rigorous procedure can be applied, both by the media and citizens across the board, in examining the suitability as well as the background of the individuals named on the shortlist. An additional advantage that could accrue from such a process would be a guarantee that those being considered for positions in the EC will not be swayed by their individual political preferences and will not be ready or willing, voluntarily or otherwise, to kowtow before the powers that be. In simple terms, Huda's proposal aims at a promotion of ability and professionalism in the Election Commission.
The former CEC's ideas quite predictably propel one into a consideration of the changes that are required in other areas. A particular region is the Anti-Corruption Commission. The general discipline and professionalism which underpinned the working of the ACC when it operated under Hasan Mashhud Chowdhury ought to be given a rethink. Since it is not in our democracy for candidates for high office to be subjected to parliamentary scrutiny or hearings before their appointments can be confirmed or rejected, the best option one can fall back on is, yes, again the media. But, of course, the media too will need to be scrupulous in their assessments of the persons considered for positions in the ACC or EC or in such organizations as the National Human Rights Commission. Journalists, like everyone else, certainly have their personal take on national politics. But if it clouds their judgment in critical areas of policy, it can only exacerbate matters.
But, of course, in all these reflections relating to Shamsul Huda's proposal and all the good that can come of it, we are speaking of an ideal situation. We notice that not much comment has been generated by the proposal; and the major political parties have maintained silence on it. That, however, does not detract from the thought that a wholesale fresh approach to the formation of bodies such as the Election Commission, given the suspicions which continue to govern ties between the major political parties, is in order. For democracy to dig deeper roots, it is important that changes take place constantly, that reforms come in all the time. And in our particular circumstances, where pluralism often remains hostage both to semi-feudalism and a culture of silence, change is the mechanism that can give democracy a meaningful push.
And where else, other than the Election Commission, do we need change? Do note that the globally accepted norm of regular cabinet reshuffles has been as good as non-existent in Bangladesh. Yes, in the tortuous course of our fragile democracy over the years, sometimes a minister or minister of state has been dropped; sometimes new ministers have been brought in. But large-scale changes, such as through shifting ministers from one office to another, have not been there. All too often, the impression has been one of ministers entering upon office for five years, and handling the same portfolio, until the next election. That is dangerous, for two reasons. First, ministerial experience is limited to just a single ministry. Second, without reshuffles, incompetent ministers preside over departments with nothing to show for it, other than platitudes, at the end.
Cabinet reshuffles testify to the dynamism of a government in the parliamentary system. Finance ministers may be moved to foreign affairs; foreign ministers may be asked to take charge of planning; agriculture ministers may be directed to take over the home ministry; local government ministers can be asked to try their hand at education. And so on and so forth. Reshuffles also do the necessary job of winnowing out the incompetent and those who have developed unsavoury reputations in the public mind. In the end, cabinet reshuffles prepare ministers for greater and wider levels of leadership through the cumulative experience they gain in presiding over different ministries. That has been the norm in the West. That can be the norm in Bangladesh.
Other changes, all in the larger public interest, can be brought into the nation's political system. The scrutiny by parliamentary standing committees of the performance of ministries through grilling the relevant ministers will serve a definitively larger purpose if the proceedings are aired direct through the media, especially the television networks. In parliament, taboos need to be broken. All specifics related to the national budget, including the component of it earmarked for the defence sector, ought to be discussed in the public domain. Has anyone wondered, by the way, that in Bangladesh we have never had a minister holding independent charge of defence? The tradition of the head of government being in charge of the ministry of defence has always precluded the possibility of an individual minister of defence becoming part of the cabinet. It is a tradition the country should be doing away with. There surely can be no reason to think that a senior figure in a ruling party cannot be trusted to administer the ministry of defence when he can be considered for any one of the other ministries on the platter of the head of government.
And perhaps we can also begin to think in terms of amendments to Article 70 of the Constitution? To allow lawmakers to exercise their individual options, where necessary, in voting on issues relating to the public weal?
ATM Shamsul Huda has given us food for thought over the constitution of the next Election Commission. Observe what that has done to our imagination.
Imagination bodies forth, as Shakespeare told us long ago, the forms of things unknown.

The Complete Fairy Tales of the Brothers Grimm
Perhaps no other stories possess as much power to enchant, delight, and surprise as those penned by the immortal Brothers Grimm.
Is this new edition necessary? Only scholars are likely to persevere through all 32 of the ``previously untranslated'' tales found among the 242 entries. A few, rejected by the Grimms as too French or too literary, have merit; most of the others are slight variants of tales already in the canon or are fragments. There is no analysis or commentary of any individual tales, and though Zipes offers a fine introduction, he himself acknowledges the excellence of Ralph Manheim's translation of the canon (misspelling his name). Since Manheim's work is still in print and available at low cost in paper (Doubleday, 1977), only wealthy scholars, who will appreciate the identification of each tale's human or published source and date of first publication, might insist on Zipes.

A woman who gained entry to WFAA-TV's Victory Park studio before its 10 p.m. newscast was removed by Dallas police after she sprawled out on the floor, screaming and claiming she was paralyzed.
Although details of the incident had not been officially released, Channel 8 reporter Jason Whitely used Twitter to update people about the incident.
The station was working to determine how the woman got into the studio about 9 p.m., but Whitely said she apparently came in while a fire alarm was sounding. There was no fire.
A station producer said the woman, whose name had not been released, did not make clear what she wanted. She began tossing scripts around before lying down on the floor.
Whitely said that by about 9:20 p.m., officers had picked up the woman, who he said was not disabled, by her arms and legs and removed her from the studio.
News anchors Gloria Campos and Casey Norton were waiting to take their positions for the newscast while the woman was removed, Whitely said.
The station made the decision to move the newscast to its downtown studio near Houston and Young streets because the fire alarm was still sounding.
Details about whether the woman remained in custody were not available.

Cattail Cove is a 2.2 mile out and back trail located near Lake Havasu City, Arizona that features a lake. The trail is rated as moderate and primarily used for hiking and off road driving. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
dogs on leash
off road driving
Not bad mostly wash running Rovers Needle is cool
Nice hike, but don't go during weekends or busy times of the year--the area sometimes seems to be swamped with ATVs/dirtbikes/idiots, or any combination thereof.
Nice desert walk! Simple terrain. Once you get in the large dirt parking lot turn left and take it all the way to the end before the canyon drops. Follow the atv trail down the hill into the canyon and take a left through the drainage pipes. There is no real trail but once the canyon opens again near the lake follow the atv trails to the right and up the hill, you will see a nice picnic area with a bathroom and tables! It's beautiful and right on the beach! Bring some bread we saw some friendly ducks!
Fun hike with lots of different terrain . We did a loop hike that started by hwy.95 went under the
highway through drainage tubes , down to the campground , then took a trail through this tight
canyon and back to the tubes...3.5 miles , 90 minutes. Beautiful ...

BRACKNELL MP Dr Phillip Lee enjoyed an active day in his constituency which included discussing education and cranberry juice production.
Dr Lee visited Ocean Spray's UK headquarters by Lily Hill Park and was given an overview of the soft drinks company's activity.
Dr Lee also visited Bracknell Forest Council's education department, where he spoke to Janette Karklins, director of the children, young people and learning; Cllr Gareth Barnard, the executive member for this department; and Bob Welch, chief adviser on learning and achievement.
He said: "Education and young people are areas which I am extremely interested in, and I make regular visits to schools, nurseries, colleges and youth clubs around the constituency. The department works to achieve solutions to these issues, and ultimately improve young people's prospects and quality of life.
"Bracknell Forest Council's children, young people and learning team do a fantastic job in our local community." Dr Lee rounded off his travels – which took place on Friday, May 9 – with a visit to Wild Acres Care Home in Finchampstead. He was given a tour of the home, which cares for 26 people, including John Ford, a former Japanese prisoner of war approaching his 95th birthday.
Dr Lee said he shared some "fascinating and humbling stories'" and he enjoyed tea and homemade cakes.

Breast cancer occurs when the cells lining the breast ducts or lobules grow abnormally and out of control. A tumour can form in the ducts or lobules of the breast.
Women and men can both get breast cancer, although it is rare in men. Men's symptoms are similar to women's.
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Victorian women. About 3,690 women are diagnosed each year. Breast cancer is rare in men with about 28 diagnosed in Victoria each year.
Although it can occur at any age, breast cancer is more common in older women. The average age at diagnosis is 60. About one-quarter of women who are diagnosed are younger than 50 years of age.
More than $12.5 million has been given to fund research specifically into breast cancer.
In addition, more than $16.2 million has been spent on research projects looking into the detection and treatment of all tumour types (including breast).
Overall, Cancer Council Victoria has funded $69 million worth of lab-based research in Victorian hospitals, universities and research institutions since 2003.

Importance of title tags in seo
Search engine optimization as a web technique or practice has become an important matter for the web designers as well as for the website owners. Nowadays, the online war has become faster but tricky. You need to have more interest and information about the latest trends to increase the efficiency of search engine optimization practices. As you know there are various search engine optimization techniques being used by the web designers and creators. The techniques and practices are also suggested to the website owners and managers. In this article we are discussing about the importance and efficient use of articles or web contents for the enhanced search engine optimization.
Titles of the web contents (Articles):
First of all, it is a widely known practice that articles are uploaded for the search engine optimization. The web contents are written by the expert writers who know how to use the power of words for enhanced SEO. The titles are always given major attention. Actually, the titles are searched and picked by the readers. Titles must be interesting and attention taking. In this way the web content will get success to gather more readers on the web page to increase the traffic and ranking of the site. For research papers, articles, essays and other contents the titles are chosen at the end. This is done to emphasize the things present in article. Efficient use of titles can provide basic support to the new web designers and owners. Don't ignore the value and significance of the titles for the search engine optimization.
Tags are always helpful for the websites:
In most of the cases the Meta tags are used for the articles. Tags are important to make the web content easily accessible. By using tags we encourage the online search engines to easily pick the web contents. In this way the search engine optimization is supported. Modern tag writing and formation is allowing the users to enhance the web traffic and ranking in a better way.
Descriptions: role and contribution for the SEO:
For the enhanced search engine optimization the descriptions of web contents are used. The descriptions are precise introduction of objectives given in the article. By using the descriptions the readers are attracted. For example, if you are uploading a photo on website without giving any description then it will not be helpful. Give the description and create more chances for the readers and viewers to understand the purpose of uploading photos online. This practice is providing more help to the web designers and search engine optimizers.
Link building:
It needs no introduction because link building means you are connecting your website or blog with others. As a matter of fact, millions of websites and blogs are working online. You can use other web platforms to increase the web ranking and traffic of your websites and blogs. It is an easy task for the people who know about it. When someone use the practice of link building to enhance the search engine optimization he attaches the web links in articles, blogs, and pictures. The most common example is facebook that is being used for the link building. People upload contents, videos and photos after attaching web links with them. When someone clinks on the given material he is automatically directed to the host's site.

3D Modeling Capabilities
OPAC has considerable expertise in creating 3D surface models for rapid prototyping and detailing, photorealistic rendering and project visualization, and developing input geometry for structural analysis as well as for preparing 3D integrated shop drawings for conflict checking and resolution.
OPAC uses the NURBS-based surface modeler Rhinoceros 3D by McNeel & Associates. Rhino is an extensible program that can be scripted for automation and use with other programs such as Microsoft Excel, SAP2000 or OPAC's proprietary SFRAME/S3D program. A special Rhinoscript (an extension of VBscript) was developed by OPAC to systematically check for intersections between embedded items and report the locations of those conflicts in Microsoft Excel.

Rangers going to skip Tepesch in rotation
ARLINGTON, Texas – Nick Tepesch, who left his Sunday start because of a sore left knee, won't pitch in the series against Cleveland.
The Rangers have decided to skip Tepesch to give his knee a chance to rest some. He's slated to pitch in next week's series at Chicago.
"He should be ready to go when we get to Chicago," Texas manager Ron Washington said. "He took himself out of a game. We're not going to rush him back. It'll give him a chance to catch up."
Tepesch played catch Tuesday and said his knee felt better. He was originally slated to throw a bullpen but that was pushed back once the club decided to skip him. He said the knee is progressing.
"It's close," Tepesch said. "It feels a lot better than it did the other say. I wouldn't call it 100 percent."
With Tepesch getting skipped the club will start Jerome Williams Friday against the Indians with Miles Mikolas starting Saturday and Yu Darvish Sunday.

"Shameful - would never return or choose this..."
About: Harrogate District Hospital Harrogate District Hospital Harrogate HG2 7SX
Posted via NHS Choices
What I liked
Help from Patient Experience Team
What could be improved
No continuity. Every time I attended the hospital, I would have to explain in detail what was wrong with me. I was lied to by hospital and told I was far too overweight to have surgery despite the previous consultant advising me against losing weight. Notes were written up by doctors who were not even in the room and I received no medication for 8 months. Top consultants lied about my treatment to the Patient Experience Team and reduced me to tears on 3 separate occassions.
Anything else?
Treat your patients with some dignity and respect because you control their quality of life. When you degrade them, lie to them and fail to treat them, you destroy their lives.

The sister of missing Newport woman Susan Reid has made an impassioned plea for her return as the police search widens.
Forces in Cumbria and Aberystwyth, Wales, have been called in to help find the 56-year-old, who disappeared from her home in Kerr Street on January 21.
Helicopter and specialist dive teams have already scoured the Taybridgehead area without success and enquiries in the Aberdeen area, where Susan has relatives, drew a blank.
"Susan has visited Cumbria and Aberystwyth on holiday and it is often the case that missing people will return to a place that brings back happy memories," said a spokesman for Police Scotland.
"The police in Wales and Cumbria have linked up with the local media there in an effort to widen the search as much as possible.
"We are using a number of search techniques to try to re-unite her with her family."
Meanwhile Susan's sister Lesley Coull, who lives near Aberdeen, has been using social media in the hope that someone has seen Susan or that Susan herself will see her posts herself and respond.
On Tuesday, three weeks to the day after her elder sister vanished, Lesley wrote a poignant message on her Facebook page.
It reads: 'Susan...if you are somewhere, somehow reading this....please get in touch. We all miss you so much, there are no words. Our lives stopped the day you went missing, and will never be the same again until you return to us. Whatever has happened...we will sort it out for you.
'I miss you Sis. I need you Susan, my wise, funny, beautiful, kind big sister. Our family is incomplete without you. Come home. We love you' x
The post has attracted dozens of messages of support and hundreds of 'shares'.
Susan, a librarian at Dundee University, is described as white, 5ft 7ins tall, of slim build, with short blonde/greying hair.
Her disappearance has been described as 'out of character' by her family, who last week issued a plea for information through Police Scotland.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact Police Scotland on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Computing & Technology Writing
My university degree was in Computer Science and my first job out of university was as a UK Market Engineer for Yahoo!, so when I took voluntary redundancy to become a freelance writer in 2007 it was only natural that I should find work writing about the computer industry. Since that time I have been a contributor to Micro Mart magazine, where I regularly review hardware, test software and write long-form features. For 3 years I was a security expert in the weekly column, Ask James, and recently I have been running a weekly spotlight on crowdfunding projects. I have also written on tech-based subjects for other outlets including The Literary Platform, Channel 4, and Wired UK, where I was a regular news contributor.
From 2007-2008 I was also a Site Director (essentially the editor) for the IGN sub-sites, Classic Gaming and Planet X-Men, where I assisted with major relaunches, managing a team of writers to create original content and disseminate promotional material. I also wrote reviews, articles, news items and other site copy, performing sub-editing, QA & proofing on any submissions during that period.
Even further back, from 2003-2004 I worked as a QA tester and occasional level designer for the Leamington-based games company Aqua-Pacific, which is now defunct. Nothing to do with me, that.
Script Services
I currently offer a script-reading and editing service. Please email for rates. I specialise in sketches, sitcoms and comic book scripts, but I'm happy to read anything. A quick & honest response guaranteed!
"James provided me with prompt and helpful notes, which helped improve scripts and gave me the confidence to start brandishing them around." – Abigail Brady
"James gave clear and honest feedback that proved invaluable in steering a project in the right direction. Quick turnaround too!" – Luke Whiston
Comics & Podcasting Work
I was a comic reader long before most people had ever heard of Tony Stark, which means I've delighted in the growing prominence of the medium, not least for the freelance opportunities it's afforded me. My expert-level (yes, you may also read that as "nerd-level") interest in comics has gotten me work for Film4 and the New Statesman, regular spots in the sadly-departed Comic Heroes and SFX magazines, and work on podcasts such as the Graphic Novel Book Club Podcast and Alternate Cover podcast.
From 2008-2013 I was a staff writer/reviewer at Comic Book Resources, the biggest comic book news site on the web, and a complete archive of my work for them can be found here. From 2007-2008 I ran a Jeffrey Brown oeuvreblog called Crudely Drawn Naked People. In 2009 I contributed a comic to the sold-out anthology Phonogram Vs. the Fans, which contained stories based on Kieron Gillen & Jamie McKelvie's comic series, Phonogram.
At present, I am one half of the editorial team for Panel Beats, a collective of comics fans who write criticism, features and reviews, and one-third of the broadcasting team for Cinematic Universe, a new fortnightly comic movies podcast hosted by Film4's Joe Cunningham. I am also working on a number of comic pitches, and always in search of artists. If you're an artist looking for a well-connected writer to work with, please get in touch!

Mangaluru: KPCC secretary "NSUI" Mohammed Badruddin (54) died after collapsing on a sofa due to low blood sugar in Bengaluru here, on August 25.
On August 24 night, Mohammed Badruddin had been to Bengaluru to meet his friend, former MLC Saleem Mohammed. On August 25, morning, while he was relaxing on the sofa and chatting with Saleem, due to low blood sugar, he collapsed. He was rushed to the hospital at Basavanagar, but he breathed his last in the hospital.
Speaking to mangalorean.com, President of district Youth Congress Mithun Rai said that Badruddin was an active leader of NSUI. He was better known as NSUI Mohammed. He was the secretary of Karnataka Pradesh Cogress Committee and was mentored by senior Congress leader Janardhan Poojary. He strived hard to strengthen NSUI in Dakshina Kannada by encouraging more and more youth to join NSUI.
"Congress party has lost a able leader, we all miss him dearly. May his soul rest in peace," said Mithun.
MLA J R Lobo said that the sudden death of senior Congress leader Mohammed Badruddin has saddened and shocked all of us. He was a leader of service, expected no lavish lifestyle. He lived in a rented house and fully dedicated his life to the Congress party as well as served the society whole heartedly. We will miss him dearly.
Congress leaders including Oscar Fernandes, Janardhan Poojary, Veerappa Moily, Ramanath Rai, U T Kadher, Vinay Kumar Sorake, Abhaychandra Jain, Moideen Bava, Shakunthala shetty, Vijaya kumar shetty and Vasanth Bangera condoled the sudden death of Mohammed Badruddin.
Mohammed Badruddin's body will be flown to Mangaluru by August 25.

So you want to get Jane's Walks started in your city? Awesome!
First, check whether there is already a City Organizer in your city by visiting our city directory. If there is already a City Organizer, get in touch with them and offer to help.
If there isn't a City Organizer listed for your city, that means we're still looking for someone to lead the charge! City Organizers coordinate walks in their cities and serve as the primary contact for local walk leaders, media, and the Jane's Walk project office in Toronto.
All City Organizers have three core responsibilities.
1. To read the Jane's Walk Principles (click here), agree to uphold them, and review any walks planned for their city to make sure these adhere to the Principles.
2. To be the primary contact for all Walk Leaders in the city.
3. To help promote all walks, particularly during the festival, through local and social media.
The City Organizer's role is also to sustain the project locally and help it grow, so we encourage them to:
- Collect feedback from walk leaders and participants
- Make plans to ensure that walks continue in the future -- for example, build a list of people who might take over if the current CO is unable to organize again next year
- Manage a blog on their city's Jane's Walk page
- Collaborate with other local events and reach out to other organizations to get them involved
City Organizers often seek out new Walk Leaders, especially those whose voices aren't always heard in civic conversations. Reaching out to new walk leaders will help you build the project. Think about what's happening in your city:
- Are there intriguing civic and community projects in the works?
- Are there communities and groups with experiences of your city that you'd like to learn about?
- Have you heard about individuals doing interesting and valuable work?
Reach out and bring new voices into the conversation!
That depends on the size of your project.
Jane's Walk works at five different scales -- Murmur, Buzz, Dialogue, Chorus, and Movement. We've compiled guides with detailed directions and advice for leading the global festival (as a starting point) at each of these scales. Beyond this, you can expand to year round walking tours and encourage people to organize them for various local events and campaigns.
Click here to read the guides -- they'll give you a sense of what kind of work will be involved.
Generally a team of people will work together on organizing the project, with one person as the "face" or main contact person. Some people pull together teams of volunteer organizers; others organize walks as part of their work with community development associations, city planning offices, university planning departments, etc.
If this is the first time you're organizing Jane's Walks in your city, you'll probably want to host a small (Murmur or Buzz-sized) festival during the global festival weekend -- if it goes well, you can scale up in the years to come.
Once your city is added to the Jane's Walk website, anyone will be able to post a walk. If you live in a large city, it's possible that a lot of people will post walks, particularly during the festival, and your project will grow quickly. If things are beyond what you can manage, we'll provide support from the Project Office in Toronto.
If you would like to sign on as a CO, or if you'd like to be part of an organizing team for your city, click here.

The 2012-13 financial outlook for the Skaneateles Central School District is bleak and uncertain due to insurance and benefit increases, loss of state and federal aid and the new state tax levy cap.
This was the message given to the board of education at its Dec. 6 work session by Dale Bates, assistant superintendent for business and finance.
"We've already taken out [of the budget] almost everything we can that doesn't affect instructional programs, so come next year there will be some hard choices to make," Bates said.
Bates' presentation to the board was on the tentative assumptions for the 2012-13 district budget in order to maintain current programs.
The tentative budget for next year is $29,629,197, an increase over last year of $608,440 or 2.1 percent.
The budget numbers are difficult to estimate, however, because so much of the content is unknown, Bates said.
There are three expired labor contracts and a transportation contract extension not yet completed, and potential increases in health insurance and employee benefit costs. The district is scheduled to lose more than $300,000 in federal jobs money and the projected 4 percent increase in state aid is "basically off the table" because of the state's huge budget shortfalls, although that will be decided soon by the state legislature, Bates said. The new state tax levy cap and continued decreases in county sales tax also will limit the revenues coming in to the district.
In order to maintain the current budget, the school district needs a tentative revenue increase of $608,440, Bates said. The 2 percent tax levy cap would allow the school to raise $423,000, but the district's recent use of $425,000 from its reserves to reduce the tax levy last year basically negates the revenue.
However, because of the uncertainty of the numbers, that needed revenue increase could be more or less than currently projected, he said.
In order to make up the possible budget shortfall, the district can either use money from its reserve funds or make more cuts. Taking money out of the reserve funds is a dangerous move that could put the district in serious financial trouble, Bates said.
Superintendent Phil D'Angelo said he recently saw a report anticipating that 10 to 15 percent of school districts in New York state will go bankrupt next year precisely because they used up their fund balances.
"Our district is in better fiscal shape than most school districts," D'Angelo said, but added, "We are very concerned about our financial picture. I cannot image how other districts in poor fiscal shape will navigate successfully through the next year."
As for budget cuts, the Skaneateles district has cut more than $1 million in the past two years, including some teacher and support staff position reductions. The dire financial outlook for 2012-13 could necessitate more teacher and staff layoffs, Bates said.
"It's too early to know for sure, but it could be," said Board of Education President Evan Dreyfuss. "There will have to be a cut in expenditure, I just don't know how were going to fund it. It could be using our reserves, could be early retirements in staff potentially or we could cut programming, which could include teachers."
In addition to difficult finances, the district also is facing continued decline in student enrollment, Bates said.
Enrollment has dropped every year for the past five years, with the 2012-13 numbers expected to be 1,534 total enrollment, Bates said. By 2017, the total student body is expected to be down to 1,431. The decline is the result of more families moving out of town than into town, and smaller family sizes in general, he said.
The "significant impact" of this steady decline could be reductions in class sizes, in class offerings and possibly even the closure of one of the district's school buildings, Bates said.

Travel Insurance
AUTHOR: RF_X-pcln - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, October 27, 2010POSTED: Wednesday, October 27, 2010
You didn't say what your "unforseen circumstances" were but in general, travel insurance covers VERIFIABLE cases of injury, illness, death, and job loss. There are a LOT of things covered but those are the four general catagories.
Examples of things NOT covered by travel insurance would be ... "my car wont start so I cant go" or "my boss changed my vacation days" or "I cant find someone to watch my dog while I'm gone".
The travel insurance sold through the Priceline webpage really is insurance, and the information about the insurance is provided on the Priceline webpage when it is being offered to customers. Yet for some reason customers that dont bother to look at the info provided, seem to think the travel insurance is some kind of "get out of jail (or reservation) free" card that will allow them to cancel their reserveration for any old reason that they can dream up.
Just like car insurance or homeowners insurance, if you want to file a claim for reimbursement you need to be able to provide proof that a covered issue prevented you from using the reservation you agreed to purchase. You cant go to your car insurance agent, and tell him somebody hit your car, and then expect him to just hand you money to get a new car, without even checking to see if your original car really was damaged or not! He would also need the particulars of the incident, such as "Who hit your car?". If you didnt know who did it, you better have uninsured motorist coverage, or you still wont get any money from him because you wouldn't be covered for that type of issue.

After some time in the federal government (and really let's be honest, a bunch of government happy hours), I have gotten used to hearing some variant on:
"Beth, you'll appreciate this… you're a social scientist."
While it is quite true that I do appreciate a wide variety of topics, the phrasing always made me somewhat curious about what people think I do all day. Particularly when the topics included things like the Kardashian's use of social media or the latest internet meme.
The social sciences have quite a bit of work to do to better communicate what we do, and natural scientists have consciously worked to communicate about things like climate change. I believe that social science has a lot to offer in that arena.
To that end, I've been collecting reports for a while* that I thought I'd put in one place. Suggestions welcome!
- Brookings has some work on public opinion and Climate Change that is a useful discussion of the ways in which different groups look at regulatory approaches to mitigating climate change.
- This article from Stanford Social Innovation Review engages in a discussion about the values and beliefs that underly the discussions around climate science.
- A Pew Study on the differences between scientists and the public highlights some of the key differences in the way that the public looks at climate change (as well as other issues) and how science views their work.
- A report on the relationship between social science and science from the Campaign for Social Science in the UK. The idea that social science is "disciplined curiosity" is engaging.
- World Social Science Report (pdf) is a behemoth, but has a lot in it that is worth reading from some excellent scholars.
- The Anthropologists weigh in on Climate change and Anthropology (pdf).
*I found many of these articles through the excellent AAAS Fellows Social Sciences Affinity Group List Serve

Lord Haskel: My Lords, can my noble friend tell the House whether self-assessment has had any impact on tax evasion? Do all these complications enable people to evade tax?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, compliance with self-assessment is very high--90 per cent of returns are received on time--and the forms produce of the order of Ł22 billion a year, so we are talking about very large sums of money. It is difficult to say whether tax evasion has increased or decreased. Obviously, if we knew what tax was being evaded and who was evading it, we would put a stop to it; it is an unknowable statistic in the classic sense. But we have been able more accurately to target inquiries on suspicious returns than was the case in the past.
Lord Tebbit: My Lords, does the Minister believe that it would be helpful to publish an "idiot's guide" to these matters?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I do not believe that the Revenue would presume to address its main source of income as "idiots".
Lord Shepherd: My Lords, the Minister states that my noble friend Lord Dubs is not an idiot; does he believe that that observation applies also to those who kept the House sitting until a quarter to four this morning? Is the Minister able to give an assessment of the out-turn--the yield--as a consequence of the change from the previous to the present system of assessment?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, I do not believe that the first question is for me. I was here until 3.28 this morning and was not best pleased, but that is really a matter for the House rather than for an individual.
As to the yield, I gave the figure of Ł22 billion. As compliance levels are very high, the yield depends on the demand rather than the assessment system. I do not believe that there is any particularly good evidence that yield has been affected by self-assessment. This project was introduced on time and on budget and saves the Revenue money, which enables it to demand less tax in future years. In particular, the self-assessment facility over the Internet means that the processing of tax returns is very economical because there is no extra stage of data entry.
Lord Roberts of Conwy: My Lords, can the Minister say how many people--idiots or otherwise--failed to meet the 31st January deadline? Can he also say what is the anticipated bonus to the Revenue in terms of interest?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, more than 90 per cent of 6.6 million taxpayers using self-assessment met the deadline. Nearly all the others followed within a few days. Therefore, there is no particular effect on interest. It is sad that the vast majority of returns arrive very close to the deadline; in other words, they come close to the period before 30th September, the deadline for the Revenue doing the assessment, and they come close to the 31st January. Again, without calling anyone an idiot, it is perverse of people to run themselves up against these deadlines.
Lord Woolmer of Leeds: My Lords, the Minister referred to tax returns on the Internet. Can he tell us how many tax returns have been submitted on the Internet? Have there been any lessons learned from this year's experience that can be applied to next year?
Lord McIntosh of Haringey: My Lords, about 40,000 individuals submitted their returns on the Internet. In addition, 285,000 returns were submitted by agents on behalf of individuals, partnerships and trustees using the electronic lodgement service. There is still a long way to go before the full value of the Internet return system is achieved. Certainly, when I tried I was told that my tax is kept in a secure category, as are the tax returns of all Ministers and all Members of Parliament. So I would not have been allowed to use the Internet even if I had succeeded in getting a registration number.
Lord McNally asked Her Majesty's Government:
The Lord Chancellor (Lord Irvine of Lairg): My Lords, let me say first that this Labour Party dinner was for lawyers, whom I understood to be known Labour Party members or supporters who had generally attended before. Lawyers know all the safeguards built into the legal appointments process, a system on which a former Commissioner for Public Appointments, Sir Leonard Peach, recently concluded:
The noble Lord, Lord McNally, is a well-known supporter of state funding for political parties. Without state funding parties have no alternative but to fundraise. Every Minister, from the Prime Minister down, engages in fundraising, as did our predecessors, as do Shadow Ministers. It is not the case that Lord Chancellors are not party political. They are appointed by the Prime Minister; they take the party Whip; they speak and vote for the Government in Parliament; they sit in Cabinet; and they campaign for their party. Fundraising, unless and until the rules are changed, is part and parcel of the party-political activities of Ministers and Shadow Ministers.
Lord McNally: My Lords, I thank the Lord Chancellor for that reply. I am sure that a number of his learned friends will want to probe him further on the legal aspects of his reply. Perhaps I may ask him two questions on the fundraising aspect. First, what precedent does the noble and learned Lord think his behaviour has set in terms of the relationship between ministerial responsibility and fundraising? Can the Secretary of State for Education and Employment write to deputy headmasters? Can the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food write to farmers? Can the Minister of Health write to junior doctors? There is a blurring by the behaviour of the Lord Chancellor of his responsibilities as a Minister and his responsibilities as a politician.
Secondly, the Lord Chancellor may have read in the Daily Telegraph this morning an extremely well-informed article attributed to one of the Lord Chancellor's friends, where it is said that he was led down this route by those rascals in Millbank. Did any of the Lord Chancellor's friends ever suggest that the best course of action for him today would be to come to this House and say that this was an error of judgment which he regrets and for which he apologises? If the noble Lord had done so he would have enhanced the respect for himself, his office and the Government. He missed the chance by not doing so.
The Lord Chancellor: My Lords, first, I have not read the piece in the Daily Telegraph.
Lord McNally: It sounds like he wrote it!
The Lord Chancellor: My Lords, the noble Lord says that it sounds as if I wrote it. I did not. I know nothing about it. If anyone who is a friend of mine was the source and if the account of the noble Lord is correct, I would be very inclined to say, "God, protect me from my friends".
I am simply saying that I do not believe that I have done anything wrong. Nor do I believe that I have broken any current rules. If I did, I would be the first to apologise. There is no real difference between party-political campaigning and fundraising because I believe that fundraising is an inherent part of party-political campaigning. We would be unrealistic not to recognise that.
A great deal has been said about the office of Lord Chancellor being non-party political. That is simply not true. At the great age of 79, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hailsham, toured the country in the 1987 general election campaign. Lord Kilmuir was even more frequently on the campaign trail. In 1997, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Mackay of Clashfern, took a high political profile to speak out strongly against Scottish devolution. I take the view that, unless and until the rules are changed, a Lord Chancellor is no different from any other Cabinet Minister.
If a debate arose out of this to say that a rule should develop that a Lord Chancellor should be different from all other Ministers as regards fundraising, I would listen to such a debate with a very attentive ear. In fact, I could be quite hospitable to the idea that a Lord Chancellor should be excused from the burden of fundraising.
Lord Strathclyde: My Lords, would the noble and learned Lord the Lord Chancellor do it again?
