Black Magic Specialist , in India Pandit Karan Sharma Ji is the best and famous astrologer of the world. Black magic has traditionally referred to the use of supernatural powers or magic for evil and selfish purposes. With respect to the left hand path and right hand path dichotomy, black magic is the malicious, left hand counterpart of benevolent white magic. In modern times, some find that the definition of black magic has been convoluted by people who define magic or ritualistic practices that they disapprove of as black magic. The terms Left-Hand Path and Right-Hand Path refer to a dichotomy between two opposing approaches found in Western esotericism, which itself covers various groups involved in the occult and ceremonial magic. In some definitions, the Left-Hand Path is equated with malicious Black magic and the Right-Hand Path with benevolent White magic. Other occultists have criticized this definition, believing that the Left-Right dichotomy refers merely to different kinds of working, and does not necessarily connote good or bad magical actions. In more recent definitions, which base themselves on the terms' origins among Indian Tantra, the Right-Hand Path, or RHP, is seen as a definition for those magical groups which follow specific ethical codes and adopt social convention, while the Left-Hand Path adopts the opposite attitude, espousing the breaking of taboo and the abandoning of set morality. Some contemporary occultists have stressed that both paths can be followed by a magical practitioner, as essentially they have the same goals.

Astrology and Numerology is the important place in our life. It is create all the situations in our life. Numerology is the universal language of numbers; an each of us was born with a set of numbers unique to us. These numbers unlock the door to the depths of our personality and reveal the way we interact with others, lessons we have yet to learn, opportunities we will be given and challenges we will face at specific period of our lives or throughout life as a whole. Pythagorian numerology was organized by Greek philosopher and mathematician Pythagoras, who combined the mathematical disciplines of the Arabic, Druid, and Phoenician, Egyptian and Essence Science then it has continued to evolve. It formed the spiritual basis for many secret societies, such as the Rosicrucian Masons, Anthroposophist and others.
Panchang in Hindu Astrology or Indian vedic astrology is a sort of Hindu Almanac. Literally it means "Five Limbs (parts)". It is an astrological diary that gives useful astrological information required by an astrologer. It is consulted for finding and selecting an appropriate and auspicious time for important occasions, ceremonies or actions like marriage, education, travel, starting new business or project, examination, interview etc. So, basically, Panchang is used to match the current position of planets with the position of planets in a person's astrological chart so as to find and if required, to look ahead to find astrologically good days and times for that person. It is an ancient method to synchronize our actions with good times so as to reduce obstacles and increase our chances for success. In other words, it helps in knowing what days and times are good for an individual and which ones may cause problems so as to avoid them. It is clear that Panchang is a helpful and practical use of Indian vedic astrology and with its help, we can know the nature and quality of any day in advance. The belief is that time is an energy having unique qualities which can be reined in for our comprehensive improvement.

Craig Johnstone, Vietnam Veteran
This was the first time he had told his story. Unlike the present war, in response to an actual attack on American soil, Vietnam was a questionable war in a far away country. There were no troop send offs, no kissing the girl from the window of a train as it pulled out of the station. Instead, there were mass antiwar demonstrations. Soldiers in uniform were spit on in airports, had garbage thrown at them, and were called names, like "Baby Killers!" When the soldiers came home, if they came home, they took off their uniforms as fast as they could and tried to put it all behind them. Cold hard fact: more Vietnam Veterans died of suicide following the war, than were killed in action.
For Craig Johnstone of Grinnell, he tried to drink it away. When that didn't work, he was fortunate to find the love of his life, Janyce, get married, and get back into college at Iowa State University. He received a degree in Civil Engineering, and now at age 66, runs a successful surveying business in Newton, Johnstone and Associates.
Graduating from Newton High School in 1965, Craig enrolled in the Electronics Technology curriculum at Iowa State University. During the summer after his first year in E. Tech., Craig took an Army induction physical and discovered that he was colorblind, a condition that would not allow him to be an Electronic Technician. Devastated, he dropped out of school, and lost his draft deferment. Not to worry, he signed up for a 120-day delayed, three-year enlistment in the Army, with the understanding that he would be guaranteed construction drafting school. On induction day, he discovered that the only thing that was "guaranteed" was the three years. The Army's only openings were in infantry, artillery, and medics. Craig chose medics.
After a stint in Germany, Craig found himself with the 1st Cavalry in the Central Highlands of Vietnam during the 1969 Tet Offensive. The Viet Cong would mine roads at night, and it was the cavalry's job to sweep the roads in the morning. One French doctor became impatient and went around Craig's unit. They picked up the pieces a mile down the road.
It all came home to Craig when he had a buddy die in his arms, and could do nothing to stop his friend from dying. It was at that point that Craig understood that he was not in charge, there was a God, and it was He who was running things.
Politics stood in the way of allowing the U.S. to win the war in Vietnam. The Viet Cong would retreat into Thailand and Cambodia, and US troops were not allowed to follow. "When you go to war," Craig says. "Play to win, or don't mess with it."
After the war, all of the medical training Crag received paid off when he saved the life of a woman in Iowa State's Student Union Bookstore. She had stopped breathing and Craig performed CPR.
Like so many Vietnam Veterans, Craig has never participated in veteran organizations, or the Army's reunions. He doesn't even receive VA medical benefits. However, he did get his college education with the help of the Cold War GI Bill. He simply moved on.
This is long overdue: The Vietnam War veteran is as honorable as the World War II vet, the Korean War vet, the Gulf War vet, the Iraq-Iran war vet, and Afghanastan War veteran. They all fought, they all served their country, and they all deserve our respect.
Craig, we thank you for your service.

It took a lot less time for IPTV to reach its inflection point than it did for HDTV. It's not surprising as it's hard to imagine a consumer technology roll out as flawed as HD. iSuppli released a report last week predicting Internet-enabled television sales in 2010 will significantly outpace 3D TV sales.
Global shipments of IETVs—i.e., TV sets with built-in Internet capability—will amount to 27.7 million units in 2010. In contrast, 3-D set shipments will total only 4.2 million this year. While 3-D television shipments are set to soar in the coming years, iSuppli's forecast shows the biggest near-term growth story is in IETV.
iSuppli expects the trend to continue through 2014. By 2014 I would expect every television sold in the developed world to be Internet enabled. Never will every TV be 3D capable — stereoscopy in the kitchen or bathroom can lead to some unexpected outcomes. But predicting IETV sales to exceed 3D set sales is like predicting tires will be a more popular accessory in motor vehicles than convertible tops. To paraphrase Seth and Amy — Really?
What is truly interesting is that by 2014 iSuppli expects there will be about a quarter of a billion IETVs in homes. That is going to be like a tsunami to the broadcast and cable industries. If you think the audience is fragmented now, just wait until the cost of starting a viable "TV network" hits the mid-four figures. Micro-pay per view and Google-like ad models will destroy traditional cable subscription models.
While the cable companies might be seriously injured, they are likely to survive. The IETV roadkill will be the set top box manufacturers — Roku, TiVo, and Apple TV (if Apple doesn't mercy kill it first). The standalone IPTV device will go the way of the standalone GPS. Navigation will be as common on phones in the next few years as cameras are today. Who's going to need a Garmin? Even Steve Jobs kind of agrees.
There's an obvious pattern emerging in consumer electronics. A market is created and validated by a single-use device, then the single-use device is pushed aside by multi-use devices delivering the same functionality. That's why the Android platform is the death of Garmin, and the iPad will flatten the Kindle.
Of course what we don't know yet, is Aunt Mary in Peoria going to have any idea what to do with an Internet-enabled TV.

A broad agreement among the various entities administrating the MF Global bankruptcy was announced Saturday morning that resolves existing claims among the competing interests and will expedite additional distributions to former MF Global customers and claimants and provide certainty on the total value of claims against the estates.
The agreement was reached between James Giddens, Trustee for the Securities Investor Protection Act (SIPA) liquidation of MF Global Inc. (MFGI), and Richard Heis, a Joint Administrator of MF Global UK Ltd. (MFGUK) to resolve all claims between the two entities, including the 30.7 client assets and repo to maturity valuation disputes currently before the High Court of England. Giddens was seeking approximately $700 million from MFGUK. The agreement estimates that between $500 million and $600 million will be returned to the MFGI estate.
Simultaneously, Giddens and Louis J. Freeh, Chapter 11 Trustee for MF Global Holdings Ltd., et al, (MFGH), agreed to resolve all claims between their respective estates. Claims between MFGH and MFGUK have also been resolved. The agreements are subject to certain conditions and court approval, and suspend existing litigation.
According to the release, Giddens anticipates the possibility of 100% satisfaction of allowed securities customers' claims and significant additional distributions to commodities customers who traded on U.S. exchanges (4d funds) and commodities customers who traded on non-US exchanges (30.7 funds).
"These agreements are in the best interests of former customers and other creditors and allow us to request court approval for significant additional distributions for securities and commodities customers," noted Giddens in the release. "Resolving complex issues with these entities marks a critical milestone in administering the MF Global Inc. estate.
Giddens also announced that he is seeking to make a further distribution of customer claims. "Near-term distributions will be made available from customer property now in the Trustee's possession, and future distributions will be from customer property recovered or returned in the future," noted a release.
The distribution will cover both 4d and Part 30.7 claims and is subject to approval by U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Martin Glenn. To date former MF Global customers have received approximately 80% of 4d assets but only 5% of Part 30.7 assets that was the subject of the UK litigation.
Hearings on both the settlement agreements and further distributions are set for Jan. 31.

STOCKTON - Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden says he isn't perfect, but he does not regret speaking out about the rise in crime and reduction in police resources in Stockton, even if his words leave him at odds with city leaders in his beloved hometown.
STOCKTON - Oakland Athletics pitcher Dallas Braden says he isn't perfect, but he does not regret speaking out about the rise in crime and reduction in police resources in Stockton, even if his words leave him at odds with city leaders in his beloved hometown.
Braden spoke with characteristic candor and colorful language in two wide-ranging interviews, alternately punctuating his thoughts with humor and anger. He likened law enforcement officers to superheroes with dwindling powers, detailed his recent encounters with police and criticized Stockton Mayor Ann Johnston, who gave him a key to the city after he pitched a perfect game for the A's on Mother's Day in 2010.
"You can take that key you gave me back," Braden said. "It might unlock the truth, and that would be good for you to bestow upon every citizen in this community."
Braden, a 29-year-old Stagg High School graduate who has Stockton's area code tattooed on his stomach, found himself embroiled in controversy after brandishing a baseball bat and raising his voice during a community meeting Sept. 26 at Victory Park. Hundreds of area residents gathered near the steps of The Haggin Museum, where Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones and Councilwoman Susan Eggman discussed efforts to stem the rise of violent crime in Stockton.
Television cameras caught Braden shouting at Jones from the crowd. He later said he was leaving Stockton because the community had become unsafe, calling it the "wild west" while pointing to the city's record homicide rates, bankruptcy, budget cuts and reductions in the police force.
Braden said Johnston and Jones aren't telling Stockton residents how dangerous the city has become and how little police can do to protect them. He scoffed at the idea of community volunteers patrolling the streets when the Stockton Police Department has seen its staff cut from 441 to 330 in four years, forcing the department to stop responding to lower-priority calls.
"What I'm saying is we are in a time and place in this city, specifically, where it has not been an unrealistic outcry for martial law. Martial law! 'Where's the National Guard?' " Braden said, his voice growing louder and angrier. "At the meeting, that thought was there. You have people standing in a crowd asking for that type of protection, and you're holding this hot-stove meeting about how we're going to carry flashlights and make our presence felt?"
Braden said he was frustrated with police response after he and his grandmother, Stockton resident Peggy Lindsey, were victimized by crimes in a span of 72 hours. Lindsey, who said "I don't feel real safe in Stockton," said it took six hours for police to respond after she reported a burglary at her apartment Sept. 17. She said they initially told her to file a report online.
"The first thing you think is, 'Well, I would if they hadn't stolen my damn computer,' " Lindsey said.
Three days later, Braden said he was attacked while driving his car on March Lane. Braden said a man punched his window, kicked his door and tried to pull his passenger out of the car.
Braden, who recently underwent shoulder surgery and has missed most of the past two seasons with injuries, said he felt defenseless. He said it took three to four minutes to reach a 911 dispatcher. When the alleged assailant drove away, Braden followed, giving a 911 operator the license plate number and a description of the suspect's vehicle.
"They said, 'Sir, we don't have anybody in that area. You need to quit following him,' " Braden said. "I said, 'I'm going to decline on that because nothing is going to happen if I quit following him.' "
Braden pulled over when he saw officers near the scene of a car accident. He tried to direct their attention to the suspect, who was stopped at a red light nearby, but "they were ultra-aggressive in letting me know they were going to be in charge in this situation; they didn't even want to hear what the situation was."
Braden said the officers antagonized him, leading to a verbal exchange in which he shouted and swore at them.
"The guy said, 'Oh, you think you're famous? What was your name again?' " Braden said. "I said, 'Oh, real cute. Go back to the police station and Google me.' "
According to a police report, Braden drove away after saying: "(Expletive) this ... I'm outta here."
Braden said taxpayers aren't getting their money's worth if officers can't help them in such situations, but he said he respects and admires police, adding "my anger came from this one isolated incident involving these two cowboys."
Braden said a 2011 ride along with Stockton police gave him a sense of their frustrations over budget cuts and staff reductions. Officer Joe Silva, a spokesman for the Stockton Police Department, said the department is doing its best to address the community's concerns.
"Not only do we want to hear firsthand from our citizens about their concerns, but as a department we want to be open and transparent with our citizens about crime in our city and what the department's police strategies are while we police during these very unique times," Silva said.
Johnston asked Braden and other residents to be patient while the city works to resolve Stockton's crime woes. She noted that Stockton police have taken 600 guns off the street since Jan. 1. She said the city will hire 17 new officers when money from an $8 million federal grant becomes available. She also praised the coming implementation of Project Ceasefire, an initiative which has reduced gun violence and homicides in cities such as Boston, Chicago and Cincinnati. Stockton saw a 43-percent reduction in gun violence when it implemented the program in the 1990s.
"I would urge Dallas to have faith, to know that city leaders are committed to bringing the level of community safety that he and others in our community want to see," Johnston said. "It's not all smoke and mirrors."
Braden declined to speak about plans to sell his home in Stockton, but he said he is shopping for new homes for himself and his grandmother in another city.

|This company has recently been acquired or received a credible acquisition offer.
Tween Brands (NYSE: TWB) operates retail stores that sell clothing to "tweens", girls between the ages of 7 and 14. TWB's stores sell clothing, jewelry, backpacks, purses, and other accessories.[1] The Limited Too was TWB's first chain, with 586 stores open in the U.S. at the end of the first quarter of 2008, and it is aimed at an older, fashion-conscious group that will pay more for clothes than the younger girls that shop at Justice.[2] Justice was launched in 2004, operating 281 stores at the end of Q1 FY08.[3]
Tween Brands' sales have nearly doubled between the end of 2003 ($598 million) and 2007 ($1.0 billion) due to the launch and growth of the Justice brand. Same store sales grew 4% company-wide in 2007, but this was fueled by 21% growth at Justice stores while sales at The Limited Too remained flat (0% growth).[4] The company announced in August '08 that in response to slumping sales at these stores, it will discontinue the Limited Too brand, converting 560 stores to the Justice brand and closing 26 others.[5]
Despite nearly doubling its total revenue from $599 million in 2003 to $1.0 billion in 2007, Tween Brands remains a smaller player in the specialty youth apparel retail market.[6] The company must continue growing to match the performance of competitors like Abercrombie & Fitch ($3.75 billion of sales in 2007), American Eagle ($3.0 billion), and Aeropostale ($1.6 billion).[7][8][9]
Limited Too was launched as an in-store department of The Limited, a subsidiary of Limited Brands. Limited Too later grew into its own retail store chain, then in 1999 Tween Brands was spun-off from Limited Brands (LTD). In early calendar-year 2004 (end of FY03), Tween Brands launched Justice, ending FY04 with 35 Justice stores operating in the United States.[10] Both stores have grown significantly since launch, as TWB operated 586 Limited Too and 281 Justice stores at the end of the first quarter of FY08, as well as 26 Limited Too locations in the Middle East through a licensing agreement with Alshaya Trading Co. and 1 Limited Too Store in Sweden through a licensing agreement with Family Invest AB.[11]
Each of Tween Brands' stores target girls aged 7 to 14 with a wide range of apparel and other merchandise, including jewelry, cosmetics, footwear, electronics, music, games, toys (including fad-item Webkinz stuffed animals) and other accessories. Limited Too and Justice only sell their own respective private label apparel, but some of the accessories sold in TWB's stores are sourced from branded manufacturers. While Limited Too and Justice each cater to the tween market, Limited Too's merchandise is higher priced (Limited Too's most expensive jean is priced at $54.50 compared to Justice's most expensive pair at $36.50) and geared for a slightly older portion of the tween market than Justice's assortment.[12][13]
In 2007, Tween Brands received a total of $1.01 billion in sales between the two apparel store chains, a 14.7% increase from revenue in 2006.[14] TWB's total revenue has increased more than 12% annually since 2004, with net sales nearly doubling from $599 million in 2003 to $1.0 billion in 2007.[15] TWB earned a 36.4% gross margin and 8.3% operating margin on its $1.0 billion of revenue in 2007.[16] TWB's operating margin fell over 2 percentage points in 2007 (from 10.8% in 2006 to 8.3% in 2007), party because operating income fell due to $4.4 million of restructuring expenses related to cost saving initiatives.[17]
In addition to store locations, TWB operates an e-commerce store for the Limited Too brand, which drove a 92% increase in direct channel (e-commerce and catalog) sales for the brand in 2007.[19] This growth continued in 2008 as e-commerce sales from Limited Too's website increased 75% in the first quarter of FY08.[20] In order to capitalize on the growing importance of e-commerce Tween Brands launched an e-commerce operation for its Justice brand in the summer of 2008 for the fall season, in hopes of mirroring the success and popularity of the Limited Too online store which experienced a 35% increase in unique user visits in 2007.[21] Similar tremendous growth in e-commerce sales can be observed at several other youth apparel retailers, such as Abercrombie & Fitch where direct-to-consumer (e-commerce and catalog) sales grew 49% in fiscal 2007 to $259 million (7% of total sales).[22]
Due to the surge of shopping in the second half of the fiscal year created by the back-to-school and holiday seasons, Tween Brands' performance in the third and fourth quarters are incredibly important to the company's success. In 2007, the second half of the year accounted for 57% of total sales and 58% of total gross profit.[23]
Tween Brands is the largest specialty apparel retailer focusing on the tween demographic, with $1.0 billion in 2007 sales[28]. However, it is the only major retailer that specifically and exclusively targets the "tween" market of 7 to 14 year old girls. Most of its competition comes from other youth apparel retailers who target teenagers or children with similarly fashioned apparel and merchandise. One of Tween Brands' most direct competitors are Abercrombie & Fitch Company (ANF) and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO). Tween Brands' most threatening competitor is another company that was spun-off from Limited Brands: Abercrombie & Fitch. Abercrombie is a major competitor for Tween Brands because although most of its revenue comes from its namesake and Hollister chains, ANF's children's store, abercrombie, targets a similar age group as TWB's stores. ANF received over $471 million in sales in 2007 from its 202 abercrombie stores, making the specialty children's store about half the size of Tween Brands.[29] In addition to Abercrombie & Fitch Company (ANF), American Eagle's aerie sub-brand which is sold in AEO stores and 62 standalone aerie stores targets teenage girls who fall in the older end of Tween Brand's target market. Also, American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) will launch a children's brand, 77kids, online in the second-half of fiscal 2008 and in stores in 2010, which will directly compete with Limited Too and Justice.[30] Also within the youth apparel specialty market, Tween Brands faces some competition from Aeropostale, which targets 14 to 17 year old girls and boys, placing it in the cusp of Tween Brands' target age range.
Beyond Abercrombie & Fitch Company (ANF), American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) and Aeropostale (ARO), Tween Brands competes with other retailers who offer apparel and accessories for young girls, such as Gap (GPS), through its GapKids and Old Navy stores.

KVM Device Failover
Support for transparent failover between an assigned and an emulated device, allows enabling the migration and overcommit dynamically, while still gaining the performance benefits of device assignment and without disrupting the guest operation.

Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 19
- Last updated: (Jan 29)
- Percentage of completion: 50%
Detailed Description
For virtual machines, device assignment is the best option for performance. However, when a device is assigned to a VM, both migration and memory overcommit are currently disabled.
This feature aims at removing the performance/features tradeoff, by switching to an emulated device in a way that is almost transparent to users, for configurations where both host and guest are Fedora.
Fedora should detect that the emulated device serves as a failover for the assigned device. When requested by the hypervisor, it will stop and eject the assigned device, switching to failover. After this point, migration and memory overcommit are possible, while device configuration is preserved. Once e.g. migration completes, the reverse switch can take place.
At the kernel level, for networking, this can be done by and creating a bond in a failover configuration, and for storage, using multipath, on top of both the assigned and the emulated device.
Benefit to Fedora
Work left to do:
- kvm needs to be extended to notify the guest that the two devices are setup in a fallback configuration
- For networking, udev and/or network manager needs to be extended to detect this and setup bonding
- For storage, need to setup device-mapper-multipath to autodetect this configuration
- libvirt has to be extended to specify this configuration
- libvirt has to be extended to request failover, and ack on guest ack of the failover
- above covers linux guests
if possible, guest agent for windows should be extended to add this support in windows guests as well
How To Test
Two systems with device assignment (IOMMU) support are required to test this feature. To test the feature, specify an assigned device, start guest and migrate.
User Experience
User will see that they can specify an assigned network or storage device and still migrate the guest seamlessly.
For networking, https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/NetworkManagerBonding
Contingency Plan
None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour.

CIU Student Honored for Volunteer Work
Columbia International University student Baron O'Neal has been named "Volunteer of the Quarter" by Sexual Trauma Services of the Midlands (STSM) in Columbia, S.C. O'Neal is a senior majoring in Psychology.
As a volunteer, O'Neal provides service to survivors of sexual assault during hotline calls and at the hospital. While it is unusual for a man to counsel victims of sexual trauma, O'Neal encourages more men to volunteer.
"It is a myth that women will be afraid of a man being there after a sexual assault," O'Neal told STSM's newsletter New Beginnings. "It has been my experience that the survivor, male or female, cares less about who you are and more about how well you are doing what you are there to do."
STSM Volunteer Services Coordinator Sarah Moran Nevarez calls O'Neal a dedicated volunteer.
"He is compassionate and truly cares about every survivor he works with," Nevarez said.

Racing's wheel of fortune turns full circle for owner
RACING'S wheel of fortune turns in extraordinary ways, as owner Geoff Makim had re-enforced to him at Clifford Park today.
Makim was left celebrating after Olliewood ($4) collected her third career win in the Oscar Jenson Memorial Class 1 Handicap (1300m).
The five-year-old finished generously from mid-field for Nozi Tomizawa to reel in Pukekura Boy ($15) for a 2¼-length victory.
Laredo ($4.40) finished a length back third after racing prominently throughout.
"I bred this mare and I think we deserved this win today," Makim said.
"Her full sister was killed after breaking her neck in a fall at the Sunshine Coast a little while ago.
"She was a lovely filly as well having her first race start and it was a real shame to lose her."
Olliewood was having her third start for trainer Kevin Kemp on Saturday after joining his stable recently from Makim's good friend Ken Waller.
Kemp's wife Judy said the five-year-old was transferred to Clifford Park to have use of the on-track pool.
"She loves swimming and that's the reason she's come to Kevin," Judy said.
Olliewood's dam Lady Ollie is presently in foal to Choistar.
Tomizawa went of to complete a winning double on the card aboard debutante Lotto Hill.
Lotto Hill justified his $1.70 favouritism when he wore down fellow first-starter More Say ($8) to score by 1½ lengths in the Barb Mitchell Memorial Maiden Handicap (850m) for trainer Tony Sears.
Jockey Skye Bogenhuber admitted to having her own mid-race doubts about Rocket Boots adding to his winning Clifford Park tally before the gelding picked himself up off the floor to take out the Jasmond Transport Benchmark 75 Handicap (1625m).
Rocket Boots ($1.80 fav) ground home tenaciously from back in the field to down Tisani Star ($7) by a long neck for Eagle Farm trainer Tony Gollan.
Race leader Monjaya Boy ($8) held on to be long neck back third.
Today's win was Rocket Boots' fifth career victory - all of which have come on the Clifford Park Cushion Track.
"He wants to switch off in behind them," Bogenhuber said after her energy-sapping ride.
"But once he gets in the open he starts picking up okay.
"They had him off the bit a fair way out today and I thought he had the job ahead of him.
"But they went along pretty hard up front and once he started picking up the leaders after straightening I was confident he'd get there."
THREE-kilogram apprentice notched his first Clifford Park win today when piloted the Ben Currie-trained Song Of The Bell ($2.40) to a last-stride win over Diamond Heist in the Fresenius Class 2 Handicap.

It's a simple formula.
Win at home. Compete on the road. Get hot in the playoffs.
Faltering in any of those three categories could spoil the Bears' championship aspirations. Success starts at Soldier Field, where the Bears will play host to the Seattle Seahawks today.
"We should win every home game," said Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, a veteran of 13 seasons and 181 games on the lakefront. "That's our goal. That's our mindset."
Sorry, houseguests. Better luck elsewhere.
Today marks the Bears' second-to-last home game of the regular season, with the team's home finale scheduled for Dec. 16 against the Green Bay Packers. The Bears also have road games remaining against the Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Detroit Lions.
A 5-1 record at Soldier Field has helped the Bears to climb atop the NFC North entering the season's final month. A win today would give the Bears six victories at Soldier Field for the first time since 2008 while keeping them in position to host at least one playoff game.
The Bears' only setback at home this season came in the form of a 13-6 loss to the Houston Texans. Jay Cutler left the game after the first half because of a concussion, and the Bears managed only 249 total yards against one of the top defenses in the NFL.
Although Cutler has returned, others have exited.
Lance Louis, the Bears' most consistent offensive lineman through 11 games, sustained a season-ending knee injury last week and has been replaced by Gabe Carimi at right guard. Meanwhile, Edwin Williams will start at left guard in place of injured starter Chris Spencer.
Devin Hester also is out this week because of a concussion, and fellow receiver Alshon Jeffery is doubtful to play because of a knee injury. Their absences will increase pressure on Earl Bennett and Eric Weems to emerge as secondary targets alongside Brandon Marshall.
Bears coach Lovie Smith knows that injuries happen during the course of a 16-game season. However, he said, home losses cannot happen.
That's where the Seahawks come in.
Seattle scored 31 unanswered points in the second half last season to thump the Bears, 38-14, at Soldier Field. That followed another Seahawks' victory at Soldier Field in 2010, when they relied on rushing touchdowns by Marshawn Lynch and Justin Forsett to win, 23-20.
"Seattle has beaten us two out of three times on our home field," Smith said. "We just can't allow that to continue. It's as simple as that.
"They're a good football team – run the football on the offensive side, play hard on the defensive side, have a great returner. Both of us are fighting for playoff position, so it should be a heck of a game."
This season, the road has not been kind to the Seahawks. They are 5-0 at home but 1-5 on the road, including a three-point loss to the Miami Dolphins last week in which they surrendered 17 points in the fourth quarter.
The Bears are eager to contribute to the Seahawks' road woes while maintaining their lead in the NFC North. Now that the calendar has flipped to December, the stakes are high.
"The division's tight right now," Urlacher said. "So they do mean a little more than they did early. But you still have to win football games. That's all it comes down to."
Especially at home.

The installer of this stove in the new constuction of my house has not been trained in this particular unit and this is there first install of this fireplace. I have a few questions because Quadrafire costomer service email has assured me the installer should simply read the manual and that not passing inspection should motivate them to do it correctly (I live way out in the sticks and there are no inspectors or code, our builder has agreed to bulid the house to the code of his town 30 miles away, the stove installer is not a sub of the bulider because builder does not install EPA fireplaces, only gas).
Where the outside air pipe for combustion connects to the fireplace, they used a flex/foil type of pipe used for clothes dryers and sealed it to the stove with ordinary duct tape. Is this correct? They haven't connected to air intake for the SL pipe yet but I assume they will do the same, is this correct?
Also the flue pipe does not pass through the center of the fire stop in the ceiling, is this OK?
Thanks for your reply!

Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, will deliver the weekly Republican address Saturday.
Upton plans to talk about American energy prospects and jobs, according to a video statement he made on Facebook Friday.
�Hi there folks, just wanted to let you know about tomorrow�s Weekly Republican Address, where I�m going to talk about the exciting potential of America�s energy abundance to support our families, our economy, and our position as a global energy leader,� the House Energy and Commerce Committee chairman said in his video message.
The House is expected to vote next week on a pair of Energy and Commerce Committee bills that would allow for increased liquid natural gas exports and no longer require Department of Energy approval to export or import natural gas by pipeline to and from Mexico and Canada and the U.S.
The Weekly Republican Address will be available Saturday at 6 a.m. on Speaker.gov and GOP.gov.

PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Police say a 13-year-old girl will survive after she was found seriously injured in the same room of a coastal Oregon resort where her 2-year-old sister was found dead.
No suspects have been named, but investigators are looking for the mother of the children — 40-year-old Jessica Smith of Goldendale, Washington.
At a news conference Saturday, Cannon Beach Chief Jason Schermerhorn said the father of the girls has cooperated with detectives and been ruled out as a suspect.
Multiple media reports citing court records say the couple had recently separated.
The girl was found cut Friday morning. The chief says her toddler sister was not cut, and he's awaiting autopsy results.
The teen is recovering after surgery at a children's hospital in Portland, and her condition is stable.

Whether you are considering the purchase of your first RV or your next RV, we are confident you will enjoy the following advantages of Prime Time Manufacturing:
Prime Time Manufacturing understands the critical elements of designing a winning recreational vehicle – floorplan, eye appeal, storage, and convenience. However, the true genius is in the details. Is every inch of storage space fully utilized? Is there adequate pantry space for both tall and short items? Where do you put your trash can? Does each feature maximize user comfort and convenience? Are the decors residential yet durable? We have spent years listening to customers talk about what they want in the "perfect" RV. Drawing on that feedback, countless hours are incorporated into dissecting every detail to fully maximize the enjoyment each of our models will provide. We are fanatical about design because we want to ensure that our RVs will EXCEED your expectations.
Prime Time Manufacturing chose to headquarter its operations in Wakarusa, Indiana, the center of northern Indiana's Amish community. This is an area where old world craftsmanship, traditional work ethics, and doing things the "right" way are still emphasized and valued. Our executive management team has over 100 years of manufacturing experience that allows Prime Time to engineer and build an RV that will withstand the test of time. Every unit we ship is put through a rigorous 65 point system inspection at our factory AND at your selling dealership to make sure your first camping adventure is memorable for all of the right reasons. Finally, we provide a comprehensive Emergency Roadside Assistance program for your additional safety, convenience, and peace of mind. For us, quality isn't just a slogan, it's our culture.
Prime Time Manufacturing is a division of Forest River, Inc, one of North America's largest producers of towable recreational products. Because of our tremendous corporate sales volume, we are able to leverage massive purchasing power to produce an RV with more features for the money than any other company in the industry. We also operate with extremely low overhead. You won't find Prime Time advertising in national trade magazines or traditional media sources – we rely on good old fashioned word of mouth advertising. Our dealers aren't rewarded with luxurious trips or outfitted with fancy wardrobes – they only get high quality, fast selling RVs that are priced lower than the competition. We understand that the purchase of your next RV is one of the most important decisions you will make and we are committed to giving you the best value for your hard earned dollar.

Does HIV Still Bother Me, After 22 Years?
By River Huston
February 1, 2013
This piece was written in early January, before River left for India (she's there now!).
This morning as I was walking my dog, I was doing a mental checklist about what I need to do before I take my upcoming trip to India. I thought I should get some blood work done before I go. Then, as my mind sometimes does, it wandered. I thought Why not get another HIV test? It has been 22 years since I had one. As I continued my walk down to the ocean I started to fantasizing about what it would feel like to receive a negative result.
"Good news, Ms Huston: You are HIV negative."
Even the words seem foreign: HIV negative. But as I said them in my fantasy nurse voice, my heart lifted and it felt like a huge weight was lifted. I was shocked! After all this time I really did not think HIV had that much effect on me. It has been over two decades. I am relatively healthy, I barely think about HIV except when I take my meds and that is usually just a thought, "Don't forget the pills!" Done. But in this little daydream I was free of the pills, I was free of being seen as someone who is diseased (Just go on a regular internet dating site; the phrase, Disease and drug free, you be the same is common).
It would mean saving thousands of dollars in health care each year, and no more quarterly doctor visits. Gone would be the underlying fear of getting sick, especially when I travel overseas.
I also realized I still had despair and depression about carrying the burden of living with AIDS. It made me maudlin and the rest of the day I kind of gave up. Every day I walk, eat right, try and connect with someone for a laugh, write, paint, a whole host of activities to keep my spirits lifted. I didn't feel like it today and went back to bed. Had a pity party and no one else was invited. (Until now; welcome everyone!)
I have fought for all these years to not let HIV get me down and I believed I had conquered it but after my morning walk I have come to believe that you cannot outrun your reality. This is my hardship in my life. It affects me in a myriad of ways, some I was barely aware of until today. So what to do? Give up or continue to do the work? The option to sit in my room and try and sleep it away didn't really work out well. So onward I go.
As I write this I am sad but oh well, that is life. This month three of my friends chose to commit suicide. Their demons got the best of them. It has been shocking, distressing and in one case devastating. So there is always that permanent exit, but I see I have a choice. Today I grieved another kind of loss. I mourned for the life that could have been if I had not become infected. Who knows what it would have looked like or what challenges I would have faced? AIDS, yep, I said it, is my forever roommate, bad houseguest, crappy relationship, but I don't have to think about every minute of every day. I can let these thoughts sink back down into my unconscious and add a prayer in the morning for a cure.
Battle Weary: A Poem
Is it over yet?
Goodbye Ben
You didn't get the memo?
How long can you live
I manage it
When the smoke cleared and the artillery
This sadness is fierce
My love, my love
Sunrise brings another day

More salmon returned to the Stanislaus River this past fall than any other year since monitoring began a decade ago.
More salmon returned to the Stanislaus River this past fall than any other year since monitoring began a decade ago.
As of Wednesday, 7,019 fish had been counted passing a weir near Riverbank. Last year saw just 764 fish.
The increase is apparently part of a larger upward trend in the Central Valley as salmon continue to rebound from a dramatic decline caused in part by poor conditions in the ocean. That's where the migratory fish spend much of their lives.
But more fish is not always good news, said Doug Demko, whose consulting firm FISHBIO monitors salmon runs in San Joaquin Valley streams.
Many of these Stanislaus fish were bred in hatcheries, meaning they lack the genetic diversity of wild salmon and might be more susceptible to disease.
"It's human nature - we want a lot of fish; we think more is better," Demko said. "Personally, I'd rather see fewer fish in the river and have a higher percentage of natural fish."
What's more, Demko said the Stanislaus has quality habitat to support only about 3,000 spawning adult fish, so many of the baby fish produced by this year's 7,000-plus adults are unlikely to survive.
Finally, while 2012 was impressive compared with recent years, salmon populations were much higher historically before dams were built and water was diverted to farms and cities.
A look at how salmon fared in other major waterways as the fall migration comes to a close:
� Mokelumne River: 12,081 fish had passed Woodbridge Dam as of Christmas Day. That's a decline from last year's record of more than 18,500 fish but is still the fourth-highest yearly total dating back to 1940, according to data from the East Bay Municipal Utility District.
Last year, the federal government closed the Delta Cross Channel gate, ensuring that salmon stayed in the Mokelumne instead of wandering into the nearby Sacramento River.
The gate remained open this year, which might be part of the reason behind the decline from last year's record high, said Joe Miyamoto, the utility's manager of fisheries and wildlife.
� Calaveras River: Biologist Kari Burr, with the Fishery Foundation of California, reported spotting salmon in the Calaveras earlier this month.
This is the second consecutive year in which chinook salmon swam up the Calaveras through Stockton after a four-year absence.
In an email, however, Burr noted that the fish were unable to reach suitable habitat upstream of the Bellota weir. A long-overdue plan that officials have said will be released in early 2013 is supposed to improve fish passage at the weir.

This story has been updated.
WESTCHESTER COUNTY, N.Y. -- The first human case of West Nile Virus this year in Westchester was reported Friday by the Westchester County Department of Health.
An unidentified 71-year-old Larchmont woman has been hospitalized with the virus, the health department said.
The Westchester County Department of Health searched for signs of mosquito breeding activity in the surrounding area. If needed, nearby catch basins will be retreated with larvicide.
"This first case should serve as a reminder to residents to discard any standing water from their property and to use repellents if they spend time outdoors from dusk to dawn, when mosquitoes are most active," said Sherlita Amler, MD, Commissioner of Health.
So far this year, three positive mosquito batches were identified in Westchester, starting July 24.
West Nile Virus infection most often causes a mild or moderate flu-like illness, but can be more serious and potentially fatal in people 50 and older, and those with other health complications.
The county health department has provided tips for both eliminating mosquito breeding grounds and to help prevent mosquito bites.
To help eliminate breeding grounds where you live:
· Get rid of all water-holding containers, especially old tires, cans, buckets, drums, wheelbarrows and bottles.
· Cover outdoor trash containers to keep rainwater from accumulating inside.
· Drill holes in the bottoms of recycling containers that are left outdoors.
· Clean roof gutters and remove standing water from flat roofs.
· Drain water in birdbaths, plant pots and drip trays twice a week.
· Sweep driveways after it rains so that they are free of puddles.
· Clean and chlorinate swimming pools, outdoor saunas and hot tubs. Keep them empty and covered if not in use; drain water that collects in pool covers.
To reduce your risk of mosquito bites:
· Use insect repellent if you must spend time outdoors from dusk to dawn. Follow the label instructions. Adults can apply insect repellents with up to 10 percent DEET once a day on infants over 2 months old by applying the product to their own hands and then rubbing it onto their children, avoiding their hands. Products containing DEET should not be used on children under 2 months old. Instead, consider keeping them indoors when mosquitoes are most active, at dusk and dawn.
· Wear long pants, long-sleeved shirts and socks when outdoors in areas and at times where and when mosquitoes are active.
· Make sure doors and windows have tight-fitting screens.
· Check your property for buckets, containers, pots, toys and tires that can hold standing water.
· Clean and chlorinate swimming pools and hot tubs and drain water that collects on their covers.
· Change the water in birdbaths at least twice weekly.
· Keep storm drains and gutters clear of leaves and debris.
Residents who notice large areas of standing water on public property should report this to the Westchester County Department of Health at (914) 813-5000.

Sid Meier's Civilization II is an empire-building turn-based strategy game. The game starts at the Old Stone Age in 4000 BC. Your tribe begins with a Settlers unit and has no knowledge about the surrounding area. As you found new cities and explore the surroundings, you may find hostile barbarians, villages, and other competing cultures. Once you have discovered another culture, you can adopt a policy of co-existence by signing a permanent peace treaty with that culture; you can even form a military alliance. But for those who like to conquer, you will find great satisfaction in deploying more than 50 different military units and crush your enemies. However, military is not the only aspect of this game. You will also need to concentrate on trade, science development, and make your people happy in order to avoid civil disorders.
Throughout the game, you need to research technological advances, one after another, closely following the development of human civilization. To stay ahead in the science race is one thing that could lead to success. In your long reign, you can set your cities to build Wonders of the World, which are huge projects that require tremendous amount of labor and resources. Owners of these Wonders enjoy everlasting glories and benefits.
You can choose from six different types of government: Despotism, Monarchy, Fundamentalism, Republic, Communism and Democracy. Each of these government type has its distinct advantages and disadvantages. They represent how your empire will operate and have profound influence on your empire.
Civilization II also excels in the multimedia front. Every time you completed building a wonder, there is a short but representative movie. If you need help in administering your empire, the animated advisors are always available. Your advisors present you with their ideas and also some comical relief. You can watch your advisors arguing with each other based on their own principles. Also, you meet with ambassadors from other empires face-to-face. Your reply sometimes is enough to incite an ambassador to take out a knife, howling, and threaten to destroy your empire! In other cases, your reply may please the ambassadors and they will bow cordially, pay you tribute, or share their knowledge for your peaceful nature.
Diplomacy is improved in Civilization II. Your bad attitude toward other empires will ruin your reputation. Although the final score calculation does not take reputation into account, walking around with a stained reputation can really hurt your diplomacy. Other cultures will remember your treachery for a longer period of time. Reputation recovers at snail speed.
Many people complain that some computer games offer no challenge. This is not the case in Civilization II. There are six levels available: the Chieftain level, Warlord level, Prince level, King level, Emperor level, and finally the Deity level. The deity level is most difficult — even expert players are subject to destruction!
Civilization II can be played over and over again and you may never see the same thing since the maps are randomly generated and the whole game requires many decision makings.
For all these great features and innovations, Sid Meier's Civilization II is absolutely the best strategy game, unprecedented, and it will be a long time before you will see such a unique and fun strategy game again.

I would agree that fewer sub-forums would be better. But I do like having a separate doping forum, I have to admit. Were I king of the world, I'd probably have a General forum, a doping forum and maybe an OT forum. More could always be added later. Just my $.02....and likely worth less than that!!

History 301 covers the growth of our knowledge of the history, present structure, and future of the universe as men and women astronomers, physicists, and mathematicians have uncovered it in the last four or five generations. Your great-grandparents lived in a small, cozy, well-ordered universe, with pleasant neighbors, wistful vistas, and the certainty that they were in the cockpit of history. We live in an immense, active, explosive universe, and we are not even sure that ours is the only one. In this course we shall traverse the path of discovery together.
The sole prerequisite for this course is intellectual curiosity: no math, science, or technical training beyond what you had when you completed the eleventh grade.
We will learn through lecture, weekly class discussions, reading the works of great men and women scientists, and making our own sense of the evidence that they saw. Because the universe is a pretty spectacular place, we will spend a lot of time looking at images and watching the scientist at work. Your grade will depend on two exams and a final examination. Let me remind you: this is a history, not a science course, and no special training is required or recommended. Ours is the very human story of a growing understanding of the history and future of the universe. Thus we will read not only about scientific advance but about the men and women themselves, usually in their own words.
Among the topics we shall discuss are: amateurs as leaders in science, science as a reflection of the business community, the developing roles of women in science, scientific advance as a result of technological growth, the discovery of the expanding universe, the growth of "big science," Einstein as an icon of the twentieth century, science at war, the Bomb, UFOs, responses to "black holes" and "dark energy," and public responses to scientific advances in general.

Police: Mom, infant, heroin found in car
Police: Mom, infant, heroin found in car
A Hamilton County mother is jailed after a search of her car turned up drugs and a 13-month-old child.
Melinda Rector, 39, was arrested Saturday after officers stopped her car for past traffic violations.
Police said Rector was with two other adults and her child, and all three adults were known to be drug users.
After Rector gave police permission to search the car, officers said they found:
- A small straw with unknown residue located near the driver's seat
- Heroin folded inside cash in Rector's purse
- A metal socket with a pipe and multiple prescription drugs with Rector's name in her purse
- An empty plastic bag with white residue near the front passenger seat
Heroin was also located folded in cash inside another occupant's shoe, police said.
Child services responded to take custody of the child, while Rector and the passenger were arrested.
Rector was ordered held on $3,500 bond on a endangering children charge. Other charges are pending.

I'm sitting backstage at TechCrunch Disrupt. I'm introduced to (let's call her) Mary, a 22 year old recent college grad. She spends ten minutes setting up a science experiment on my desk. There are jokes about how she managed to get this thing through airport security. She then performs the closest thing to magic I've seen in a long time.
Stuff like that is what makes my job so much fun. In a year or so when this thing is productized you'll be hearing a lot more about Mary.

18 U.S. Code § 1158 - Counterfeiting Indian Arts and Crafts Board trade mark
Whoever counterfeits or colorably imitates any Government trade mark used or devised by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board in the Department of the Interior as provided in section 305a of Title 25, or, except as authorized by the Board, affixes any such Government trade mark, or knowingly, willfully, and corruptly affixes any reproduction, counterfeit, copy, or colorable imitation thereof upon any products, or to any labels, signs, prints, packages, wrappers, or receptacles intended to be used upon or in connection with the sale of such products; or
Whoever knowingly makes any false statement for the purpose of obtaining the use of any such Government trade mark—
Shall (1) in the case of a first violation, if an individual, be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both, and, if a person other than an individual, be fined not more than $1,000,000; and (2) in the case of subsequent violations, if an individual, be fined not more than $1,000,000 or imprisoned not more than fifteen years, or both, and, if a person other than an individual, be fined not more than $5,000,000; and (3) shall be enjoined from further carrying on the act or acts complained of.
Based on section 305d of title 25, U.S.C., 1940 ed., Indians (Aug. 27, 1935, ch. 748, § 5, 49 Stat. 892).
The reference to the offense as a misdemeanor was omitted as unnecessary in view of the definition of misdemeanor in section 1 of this title.
The words "upon conviction thereof" were omitted as unnecessary, since punishment cannot be imposed until a conviction is secured.
Maximum fine was changed from $2,000 to $500 to bring the offense within the category of petty offenses defined by section 1 of this title. (See reviser's note under section 1157 of this title.)
Minor changes were made in phraseology.
1994—Pub. L. 103–322 substituted "fined under this title" for "fined not more than $250,000" in third par.
1990—Pub. L. 101–644, in third par., added cls. (1) and (2), struck out "be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned not more than six months, or both; and" after "Shall", and designated remaining provision at end as cl. (3).
Functions of all other officers of Department of the Interior and functions of all agencies and employees of such Department, with two exceptions, transferred to Secretary of the Interior, with power vested in him to authorize their performance or performance of any of his functions by any of such officers, agencies, and employees, by Reorg. Plan No. 3 of 1950 §§ 1, 2, eff. May 24, 1950, 15 F.R. 3174, 64 Stat. 1262, set out in the Appendix to Title 5, Government Organization and Employees.

BOSTON (Reuters) - Police sorted through bags of items retrieved from the home of New England Patriots football player Aaron Hernandez on Sunday amid a deepening investigation into last week's shooting death of a 27-year-old man.
Hernandez, 23, a tight end and rising star in the National Football League, is at the center of an investigation into the death of Odin Lloyd, a semi-professional football player for the Boston Bandits.
Lloyd's body was discovered on Monday in an industrial park about a mile from Hernandez's home in North Attleborough, some 40 miles south of Boston, near Gillette Stadium, where the Patriots play.
Investigators searched Hernandez's house for nearly four hours on Saturday, removing several bags of material. A law enforcement official with knowledge of the case said on Sunday that police investigators were now busy examining the items, but he declined to give details.
Hernandez has not spoken publicly about the case, and his agent and lawyer have repeatedly declined comment.
Journalists, photographers and television cameramen remained across the street from Hernandez's sprawling suburban house on Sunday after conflicting reports by local news outlets that an arrest warrant may have been issued.
An official at the local prosecutor's office declined comment except to say the investigation remained active. There was no police activity at the house by midday on Sunday.
Hernandez also is being sued by a Connecticut man for allegedly shooting him in the face and partially blinding him after the two visited a strip club in Miami in February.
Florida police said they abandoned their investigation of that shooting after the alleged victim, Alexander Bradley, refused to cooperate.

GULFPORT, MS (WLOX) - Monday night, an informational meeting was held at the Orange Grove Library regarding the Affordable Care Act, also known as ObamaCare. The healthcare law was signed by President Barack Obama back in 2010, but recent budget battles in Washington have brought the law back to the forefront of the political discussion.
With all the talk about the controversial law, a local business woman decided to hold a meeting to clear up some confusion, but turnout wasn't what she expected. A room full of empty seats is what presenters found at the important meeting.
Anne Nicholson, who works for Humana Healthcare, said she organized the event because of the many questions she gets about the reform each day.
"People ask me every day, 'Should I apply for the exchange? Should I stay where I am? How is it going to affect me?'" said Nicholson.
Questions like those went unanswered at Monday's meeting, because there was no one there to ask them. Theodore Diaz has been in the insurance business for 40 years and feels the seats left empty Monday night will be full once ObamaCare takes effect.
"People are not yet excited about the Affordable Care Act, because it hasn't affect them yet. But on October 1, the exchanges opens up, and we're going to have to start looking," said Diaz.
Diaz isn't the only person in the healthcare world facing questions from clients. Mary Buffington is the Executive Director at the Bethesda Free Clinic in Ocean Springs. Buffington said regardless of what happens with the healthcare reform, her clinic will continue to see patients for free. But as a healthcare professional, she wishes she could give them more answers.
"We are hoping information will come to us through the state or via the news media," said Buffington.
The Affordable Care Act will take effect in one week.
