India retains capital punishment for a number of serious offences.[1] The Indian Supreme Court has allowed the death penalty to be carried out in only 4 instances since 1995.
The Supreme Court in Mithu vs State of Punjab struck down Section 303 of the Indian Penal Code, which provided for a mandatory death sentence for offenders serving a life sentence.[2] The number of people executed in India since independence in 1947 is a matter of dispute; official government statistics claim that only 52 people had been executed since independence. However, research by the People's Union for Civil Liberties indicates that the actual number of executions is in fact much higher, as they located records of 1,422 executions in the decade from 1953 to 1963 alone.[3] In December 2007, India voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution calling for a moratorium on the death penalty.[4] In November 2012, India again upheld its stance on capital punishment by voting against the UN General Assembly draft resolution seeking to ban death penalty.[5]

Crimes punishable by death[edit]
Under Article 21 of the Constitution of India, no person can be deprived of his life except according to procedure established by law.
Indian Penal Code, 1860[edit]
In colonial India, death was prescribed as one of the punishments in the Indian Penal Code,1860 (IPC),[2] and the same was retained after independence.
|Section under IPC
|Nature of crime
|Punishment of criminal conspiracy
|Waging, or attempting to wage war, or abetting waging of war, against
the Government of India
|Abetment of mutiny
|If an innocent person be convicted and executed in consequence of such false
evidence to procure conviction of capital offence
|302, 303
|Abetment of suicide of child or insane person
|Kidnapping for ransom
|Dacoity with murder
If any one of five or more persons, who are conjointly committing dacoity, commits murder in so committing dacoity, every one of those persons shall be punished
|Rape/Sexual Assault An amendment in the year 2013 provided for death penalty in case he inflicts an injury upon woman during rape which causes her death or to be in persistent vegetative state.[6]
Court proceedings[edit]
The Supreme Court of India ruled in 1983 that the death penalty should be imposed only in "the rarest of rare cases."[1] While stating that honour killings fall within the "rarest of the rare" category, Supreme Court has recommended the death penalty be extended to those found guilty of committing "honour killings", which deserve to be a capital crime.[7] The Supreme Court also recommended death sentences to be imposed on police officials who commit police brutality in the form of encounter killings.[8]
An appeal filed in 2013 by Vikram Singh and another person facing the death sentence questioned the constitutional validity of Section 364A of the Indian Penal Code.[9]
Other legislation[edit]
In addition to the Indian Penal Code, a series of legislation enacted by the Parliament of India have provisions for the death penalty.
Sati is an inhumane practice involving the burning or burying alive of any widow or woman along with the body of her deceased husband or any other relative or with any article, object or thing associated with the husband or such relative. Under the Commission of Sati (Prevention) Act, 1987 Part. II, Section 4(1), if any person commits sati, whoever abets the commission of such sati, either directly or indirectly, shall be punishable with death.[10]
The Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989 was enacted to prevent the commission of offences of atrocities against the members of the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes. Under Section 3(2)(i) of the Act, bearing false witness in a capital case against a member of a scheduled caste or tribe, resulting in that person's conviction and execution, carries the death penalty[11] In 1989, the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act was passed which applied a mandatory death penalty for a second offence of "large scale narcotics trafficking".
In recent years, the death penalty has been imposed under new anti-terrorism legislation for people convicted of terrorist activities.[1] On 3 February 2013, in response to public outcry over a brutal gang rape in Delhi, the Indian Government passed an ordinance which applied the death penalty in cases of rape that leads to death or leaves the victim in a "persistent vegetative state".[12][13] The death penalty can also be handed down to repeat rape offenders under the Criminal Law (Amendment) Act, 2013.
Clemency in the Indian Constitution[edit]
After the award of the death sentence by a sessions (trial) court,the sentence must be confirmed by a High Court to make it final.[2] Once confirmed, the condemned convict has the option of appealing to the Supreme Court. If this is not possible, or if the Supreme Court turns down the appeal or refuses to hear the petition, the condemned person can submit a 'mercy petition' to the President of India and the Governor of the State.[14]
Power of the President[edit]
The present day constitutional clemency powers of the President and Governors originate from the Government of India Act 1935 but, unlike the Governor-General, the President and Governors in independent India do not have any prerogative clemency powers.
Constitutional power[edit]
Article 72(1) of the Constitution of India states:
The President shall have the power to grant pardons, reprieves, respites or remissions of punishment or to suspend, remit or commute the sentence of any person convicted of any offence
(a) in all cases where the punishment or sentence is by a Court Martial;
(b) in all cases where the punishment or sentence is for an offence against any law relating to a matter to which the executive power of the Union extends;
(c) in all cases where the sentence is a sentence of death.
Execution of death sentence[edit]
The execution of death sentence in India is carried out by two modes, namely hanging by the neck till death and being shot to death.
The Code of Criminal Procedure (1898) called for the method of execution to be hanging. The same method was adopted in the Code of Criminal Procedure (1973).[15] Section 354(5) of the above procedure reads as "When any person is sentenced to death, the sentence shall direct that he be hanged by the neck till he is dead."
The Army Act and Air Force Act also provide for the execution of the death sentence.[16] Section 34 of the Air Force Act, 1950 empowers the court martial to impose the death sentence for the offences mentioned in section 34(a) to (o) of The Air Force Act, 1950. Section 163 of the Act provides for the form of the sentence of death as:-
"In awarding a sentence of death, a court-martial shall, in its discretion, direct that the offender shall suffer death by being hanged by the neck until he be dead or shall suffer death by being shot to death".
This provides for the discretion of the Court Martial to either provide for the execution of the death sentence by hanging or by being shot to death. The Army Act, 1950, and the Navy Act, 1957 also provide for the similar provisions as in The Air Force Act, 1950.
About 26 mercy petitions are pending before the president, some of them from 1992. These include those of Khalistan Liberation Force terrorist Davinder Singh Bhullar, the cases of slain forest brigand Veerappan's four associates—Simon, Gnanprakasham, Meesekar Madaiah and Bilvendran—for killing 21 policemen in 1993; and one Praveen Kumar for killing four members of his family in Mangalore in 1994.[17] On 27 April 1995, Auto Shankar was hanged in Salem, Tamil Nadu.
At least 100 people in 2007, 40 in 2006, 77 in 2005, 23 in 2002, and 33 in 2001 were sentenced to death (but not executed), according to Amnesty International figures. No official statistics of those sentenced to death have been released.
Afzal Guru was convicted of conspiracy in connection with the 2001 Indian Parliament attack and was sentenced to death. The Supreme Court of India upheld the sentence, ruling that the attack "shocked the conscience of the society at large." Afzal was scheduled to be executed on 20 October 2006, but the sentence was stayed.[citation needed] Guru was hanged on 9 February 2013 at Delhi's Tihar Jail.[18][19]
On 3 May 2010, a Mumbai Special Court convicted Ajmal Kasab of murder, waging war on India, possessing explosives, and other charges.[20] On 6 May 2010, the same trial court sentenced him to death on four counts and to a life sentence on five other counts. Kasab was sentenced to death for attacking Mumbai and killing 166 people on 26 November 2008 along with nine Pakistani terrorists. He was found guilty of 80 offences, including waging war against the nation, which is punishable by the death penalty.[21] Kasab's death sentence was upheld by the Bombay High Court on 21 February 2011.[22] and by the Supreme Court on 29 August 2012.[23] His mercy plea was rejected by the president on 5 November and the same was communicated to him on 12 November. On 21 November 2012, Kasab was hanged in the Yerwada Central Jail in Pune.
On 5 March 2012, a sessions court in Chandigarh ordered the execution of Balwant Singh Rajoana, a terrorist from Babbar Khalsa, convicted for his involvement in the assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh.[24] The sentence was to be carried out on 31 March 2012 in Patiala Central Jail,[25] but the Centre stayed the execution on 28 March due to worldwide protests by Sikhs that the execution was unfair and amounted to a human rights violation.[26]
On 13 March 2012, a court in Sirsa, Haryana, condemned to death the 22-year-old Nikka Singh for raping and strangling to death a 75-year-old woman on 11 February 2011.[27] "The imposition of the death sentence was most appropriate in this case. The court has held that it was a cold-blooded murder and where rape was committed on an innocent and hapless old woman," said Neelima Shangla, the Sirsa additional district and sessions judge.[28] "The rape and cold-blooded murder of a woman, who was of grandmother's age of the accused, falls in the rarest of the rare case." The court held that Nikka Singh was a "savage" whose "existence on earth was a grave danger to society" as he had also attempted to rape two other village women.[29]
In June 2012, it became known that Indian president Pratibha Patil near the end of her five-year term as president commuted the death sentence of as many as 35 convicts to life, including four on the same day (2 June), which created a storm of protest.[30] This caused further embarrassment to the government when it came to light that one of these convicts, Bandu Baburao Tidke—convicted for the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl—had already died five years previously from HIV.[31]
As of 11 February 2013[update], there were 477 convicts on death row in India. States with the maximum number of prisoners on death row were Uttar Pradesh (174), Karnataka (61), Maharashtra (50) and Bihar (37).[32]

Over the years the Nebraska football staff has been one of the most stable in the nation.
That can be said for the last 2 seasons as head coach Bo Pelini has been able to retain all of his assistants..
That has now changed.
After 2 seasons, Secondary coach Terry Joseph, seen here in the sunglasses, is leaving the Huskers staff for that of Coach Kevin Sumlin and the Texas A&M Aggies.
He came to the Huskers from the University of Tennessee and had worked with Bo when he was a grad assistant at LSU and Bo was defensive coordinator.
Joseph's departure leaves a huge hole to fill since he's been one of the best defensive back coaches in the nation at several schools including Nebraska.

What's Next When the Wall Decal Headboard Won't Cut It Anymore?
Good Questions
Q: I'm thirty, and while it's very whimsical and pretty, the wall decal headboard just won't cut it anymore. I'm looking for a 'grown up' option, and I want to stick to my demure aesthetic — most of my furniture is much-loved turn-of-the-century pine and other heirlooms. I love the look of iron, but I am open to wood as well. Anything fabric-based or tufted is out — it'll just turn into a scratching post for the kitties. I am on a budget (hoping to pay less than $300), so I am looking for something modest that blends in without breaking the bank. Any suggestions?

I've always liked this one at Ballard (a little over your budget, but nice) http://www.ballarddesigns.com/claudette-headboard/furniture/category/bedroom/beds-headboards/13996
If you are willing to paint, check out your local thrift stores. I just scored a gorgeous turned (Jenny Lind-like) full-size headboard & footboard with side planks for $20. I'm not kidding :) The wood was in excellent condition, but I am going to paint it to suit my son's room. You'd be surprised by how many styles you can find if you are willing to make a few trips and have patience (and a paint brush).
Have fun!
Consider folding screens - would fit full and queen beds and would give you flexibility in the future. Pier One, World Market and similar (online, of course) will have a variety in many materials.
I can't tell if that is a full size or queen size bed. If full size,t here are lots of antique options that would work and be reasonably priced. If it's queen sized, you will have a harder time finding something in the same genre/age range as the rest of your pieces. I'm not sure if they made fewer queen size beds back then or if they are so much more in demand - but either way it can be hard to find.
For $300 I have to say ... don't get an iron bed. At least not a new one. In that price point it will likely be poorly made & start squeaking within a year. But if you like that look then consider an old gate. A friend did that and it looks AMAZING. She mounted it to the wall & it's really beautiful. Look for one that has been sandblasted or doesn't have lots of chipping/flaking paint, and you might find something really unique that you love.
There are lots of "using an old door as a headboard" projects on line - seems like it can be done pretty cheaply and it adds a lot of character to the room.
I woudl save up for the iron one you really like and in the meantime prop up a bunch of pillows...
I have a gorgeous handmade cast iron bed frame that I bought for $300 on Craigslist. The sellers originally purchased it for around $3,000 from Anthropologie (they showed me the bed in the catalogue), so I got it for a steal.
Unlike mattresses, for example, I feel like a bed frame is something that you can buy "preowned" with pretty good results. If you know what you want, I would recommend stalking Craigslist for a while!
If you have the time, you can troll Craigslist to see what is available out there. Even if you don't buy anything, it can be an education in what styles, prices, and qualities you could go for. It seems like you don't have a good idea of what you want, so looking at used furniture (and new furniture for that matter) on-line is a good way to start.
I am speaking from experience here. When I decided to change the direction of my bedroom decor I started looking on CL and gradually refined what I liked and what would fit well into my space. Ultimately I found the perfect bedframe that I still love.
I second the advice about not buying a cheap metal bed. Also, don't buy a cheap pine bed either because those often start squeaking too. Go for a nice hardwood or veneered piece.
I got an iron bed from the early 1900's for $100. Someone was cleaning out their barn.
I think this would look beautiful in your bedroom and you can't beat the price.
Not sure where you live, but if you are open to the antique look, you should check out estate sales and auctions where you live till you find 'the one.'
Look on ebay for antique/vintage headboards. You may have to take the whole bedstead and chuck what you don't want but prices can be very reasonable.
Two thoughts on iron bedsteads. If they don't fit up your staircase they just dont (I know!) And even if they do, a metal bedstead looks pretty but isn't comfortable to lean against without oodles of pillows.
i've never heard of using a gate before but that is such a creative idea!
I saw a pretty Asian bamboo headboard at Home Goods this week -- $200. It was very "thin" and I was thinking it would work for the guest room which only has a tapestry now, since the bed is a tight fit. Something like that might work. But I agree, thrift stores will have lots of pine headboards, as well.
And thank you for telling us what your budget actually is.
Agree with those who suggested Craigslist. The nice thing about that is if you don't like it after a few years, you did not put a whole lot into it and probably got your money's worth. I'm currently looking for an old hospital bed--the metal ones for my 2nd bedroom.
Good luck.

Upholstered headboards are available in all sizes and many shapes/styles at great prices. Easily attached to your metal bedframe, for ease if you move.
Or DIY it - easy.
Go on Google Images and type in the words old door headboard, and you can see hundreds of different types of headboards using an old door. See if you like that type of style. Do the same thing with the words iron gate headboard.

We've had it for about a year and I've been impressed--it looks and feels much more expensive than the cost. It is heavy and very sturdy--he is almost-four and crawls all over it. We've had zero issues. I'd easily put it in a master bedroom.
What Virginia Grayson suggested. I am using a carved Indonesian folding screen as a headboard in my bedroom - it happens to be the same width (maybe an inch wider) than my queen sized bed.
I think it cost either $175 or $199 (plus tax) at HomeSense.
When I am tired of the dark wood I will paint it. I have had it for about 8 years and I haven't tired of it yet.
Pottery Barn is having a huge sale right now - and there's a great iron bed, comes in Queen and King only. It is quite substantial and looks like my antique one - only problem for me is they opted to put crystal doorknobs on the posts instead of brass knobs. But you can order brass from an antiques hardware repro place.
Otherwise I'd just haunt the consignment shops, every one I go to has dozens of headboards at any given time.
A friend of mine found a gorgeous iron headboard online that cost several thousand dollars, which was waaaaaay out of her budget. She then found a local ironworking shop, and took in a picture of what she wanted, and had them build her something similar and powdercoat it, which ended up around $350. She's in a rural area, so in a city it might be more expensive, but it might be worth looking into. Sometimes, custom is surprisingly cheaper.
My two iron beds are my favorite purchase. Easy tp pair with other types of furniture and will last forever.
I always liked this home tour. One of my favorites. In the guest bedroom they found cheap pine beds on CL for 50 bucks and painted them black. I think they are stunning.
I see tons of cheap four poster beds from the 70's and 80's on CL all the time-for less than a hundred bucks. Pick one with strong architectural detail-like a Jenny Lind, etc. It stands out the most when painted black.
You can search your area for local woodworkers who could build you a headboard to fit on a regular bed frame. Mine was made by RH Timber who is in Chicago. Depending on the size and type of wood chosen, you could definitely get a beautiful custom headboard in your price point. http://rhtimber.com/tag/chicago/
In a similar boat, I opted for a metal bedframe from overstock.com (NYC in the middle of the bedbug epidemic turned me way way off of upholstery & even wood bed frames) that cost under $300 that has held up nicely for over a year.
They have some more traditional options too, as you weed through the...less than attractive ones.
In the meantime, I'll save save save for a more permanent piece.
Wow -- thanks so much for all the suggestions! Just to answer a few of the questions, it is a queen side bed which means a lot of not all antiques are out and I live in NYC where all antiques are expensive anyway. I was hoping to have a headboard that attached to the metal frame and not the wall.
I look forward to looking through all your suggestions and ideas. Thanks so much!
While I can like the look of iron, I also want something less cold and easier to read against...so mission style slat wood headboard style for me.
Might I suggest that consider graduating to a full bedframe, and not just a headboard? You know, footboard and side rails, too? I always hated bumping my ankles on the metal frame with wheels that I had under my old mattress and box springs, which I got from a friend not using it any more along with the mattress and box spring. I saw a solid wood bed I fell in love with in a store window one night, and sometime in the next few years, I went and bought one. I was happy to get rid of the metal frame on wheels. I hate the way they look, too, and don't like those little skirts that cover them.
Your style is antique...so craigslist, thrift and antique stores are your best bet. Especially craigslist...when people are moving, they often need to just get rid of nice stuff and sell it cheap. Look at what's on online to see what's out there, as someone suggested. Agree there's a lot more out there in full size than queen, and can't tell from the photo which yours is, though some full size antique beds have been altered to fit queen size.
Also, be sure the measure carefully, which ever you buy. Not only with antique beds do things not always fit..I knew someone who ordered a new bed, and it came just a tad small so the standard size mattress that was supposed to fit in it, didn't fit.
I would see if you've got an architectural salvage place in your area. There are all kinds of treasures there that might work for you (doors, windows, gates, random metal work from old buildings). Even if you don't find something that works, you'll get some inspiration for what you might want...
I found my headboard by chance at Ikea for $20. It is simple, a flat board that is probably 4 1/2 feet tall, dark brown. It was a great deal for a headboard. I would look on craigslist & see if anyone is selling one and fix it up if it isnt exactly to your liking. If you want to make a head board, see if anyone is selling wood on craigslist or go to home depot and buy wood to put one together.
Oh and be creative maybe someone is selling a table for pennies and you can rip the legs off and make a headboard or use an old door.
Just a thought. We have kitties which love to scratch. We put some sticky paws on our upholstered headboard the day it arrived (well, the day it was assembled). It is basically giant double sided tape. Have not had a problem. I love our upholstered headboard for reading in bed. So much better than our old metal one, which was cold and spaced too far apart for comfort.
I am in with those who suggest hitting Craigslist, and also Kijiji, and maybe some thrift stores. I found my headboard for five bucks in a thrift store on the day I decided to go out looking for one. I knew it was The One immediately - it just needed a paint job to fit my decorating style. And yep, it's queen, and attaches to the metal frame. ;-) You have a nice size headboard budget there, I bet you will find the perfect thing.
If you plan to read or watch tv in bed it's best to avoid an iron bar headboard. If you lean against it between the bars then you get no back support, and if you lean against the bars, well, it feels like have some iron bars digging into your back.
Thanks for the support - I had to look up Home Sense - turns out it's the Canadian/UK name for Home Goods. Learned something new! I'll bet your carved screen is wonderful - I'm going to get one for myself if I run across it - mine is padded - I like but would love to have a carved wooden one like yours instead.

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
While I agree with your overall comment regarding people skipping everything in an ultimate race to Ulduar, it really doesn't have a thing to do with the servers. In levelling my current alt, whenever I've managed to get a group together for a low level instance or given/received a run, it's the non-Ulduar servers that take 45 mins. of bouncing against the instance portal to get into. Perhaps I'm fortunate on my server, but not being able to enter Naxx or Ulduar due to the "additional instances" door boss has only happened twice (we have various groups going to 10 and 25 man 6 nights a week) in the past several months while we haven't managed to launch anything below a heroic without this message, many times for hours.

DENVER � Wednesday, Jan. 29, 2014 � Gov. John Hickenlooper today announced a proclamation that temporarily renames Colorado�s tallest majestic mountain peaks -- also known as 14ers -- after individual active players on the Denver Broncos football team. The mountains will go by their new names for one day only -- on Super Bowl Sunday.
The full text of the proclamation:
WHEREAS, the State of Colorado is confident that the Denver Broncos will beat the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLVIII; and
WHEREAS, the Denver Broncos gave Coloradans a lot to be proud of this season, including becoming the first team in NFL history to score more than 600 points in a single season and winning the AFC Championship; and
WHEREAS, Seattle makes some, well, OK beer; and
WHEREAS, the Seahawks have a 12th man, whatever, while the Denver Broncos have the greatest fans -- men, women and children -- in pro sports; and
WHEREAS, we are proud of the majestic mountains in Colorado, which is home to 53 14ers � the same number of players on the Denver Broncos� active roster; and
WHEREAS, Peyton Manning bears a symbolic resemblance to Mount Elbert, the tallest 14er in Colorado, because he stands tall as an extraordinary leader of the Broncos; and
WHEREAS, Matt Prater kicks the football long � an NFL record 64 yards long � and could be compared to Longs Peak; and
WHEREAS, the Broncos offensive line stands together, like our Collegiate Peaks, rooted into the earth and preventing anyone from getting to Peyton Manning; and
WHEREAS, there are many other connections between other 14ers and players as referenced below;
Therefore, I, John W. Hickenlooper, Governor of the State of Colorado, do hereby hurry up and proclaim Sunday, February 2, 2014,
Here is the full list of mountains (ranked by size) and the active players the peaks are being renamed for:

If you're anything like me, you're broke. Just because we can't afford the finer things in lifefancy cars, exotic vacations, health caredoesn't mean we have to starve to death, though. Not only is spending a mere $20 a week on groceries possible, it's also probably a lot healthier than your current diet. Follow these tips […]
In the past 6 years I've flown back and forth across the country at least 20 times. I hate to think of the thousands of dollars I've scraped together, only to be dumped backed into the greedy mouths of the head honchos at [Insert Evil Corporation] Airlines. Thinking of all the money I've spent helps me go the extra mile to save more and more each time I travel so that I can take a few extra mini-trips throughout the year. And the best way to start saving some sweet getaway cash is at the airport. Here are a few tips I've picked up along the way:
On your first, second, and even third trip to Vegas, you're still just a wide-eyed "fish" with a pocket full of "greenys". You land at McCarron Airport so eager for a YOLO weekend of Jager shots at a topless pool, you don't even care that you're basically what P.T. Barnum would call The Mark. You're a sucker. A newbie. A "grinder". But then, a few bachelor parties later, you start to learn your way around the city. Before you know it, you're asking yourself, "Wait, why is the cab driver getting on the freeway?"
Don't let the cab driver get on the freeway. It's a classic cabbie fair hike technique. Every city's taxi drivers do it. It's a longer route, it's more expensive. Stay off the freeway. But why are you taking a cab anyway? The airport shuttles like ASC, Bell Trans, Showtime, and SuperShuttle are fairly quick and convenient. They cost about $7 to a hotel on the strip and around $9 to downtown. But be prepared for the cultural enlightenment that comes with sharing a van with eight strangers from Maui, Wisconsin, and Tokyo.
As someone who lives her life treating gender like it's merely a suggestion (because it is), I've grown quite accustomed to the way that marketing loves to divide the world up in order to trick us into giving them maximized profits. While my life history has made me perhaps more keenly aware of it, I'm hardly the first to notice, or even to break down why it happens. What I can do, however, is provide you with some examples of some ways that shoppers of any sex and gender can cut costs by cutting through gender roles.
A new addition to the slate of seemingly unnecessarily gendered products this year: sunscreen. Banana Boat has recently launched the all new Banana Boat For Men. This is apparently to combat the waves of sunburned men who have refused to use a product as girly and effete as Banana Boat Sport? I guess I find it hard to believe that there are legions of lobster-looking bros out there who have been adamant that they'd rather get skin cancer than put on any of that chick stuff, but apparently Banana Boat is banking on the idea that there are. Or more likely, they think that by creating the solution the problem will start to exist. All I know is I've been to plenty of beaches and I've never heard anyone complain about sissy sunscreen.
Summer's here, and that means you should be doing one thing: getting your tush out on the open road. From Kerouac to Juggalos, everyone loves discovering our country and themselves via America's highways. Only problem? That can be mega expensive. Here are some tips for you to save some cash when planning your road trip.
Whether out alone or with some pals, you're going to hit some boredom travelling the country—usually this starts around Kansas and extends through the great plains. There's so little to look at, you can't even make fun of ridiculous billboards or stupid town names. Sure, once you get into Missouri, there's some stuff to make fun of, (I'm looking at you Herculaneum, MO, for sounding like an amphitheater that is exclusively headlined by KISS.) so what can you do? Podcasts.
For those not in the know, podcasts are FREE radio shows put on by some of the finest minds in comedy, history, sports, and pop culture, that are available on demand whenever you see fit to listen.

Research Area: Biomaterials, interface science, surface analysis, bio-interfaces, biocompatible coatings
Degree: Honours
Supervisor: Prof Hans Griesser
Description: This project aims to investigate the reasons why bioactive coatings can rapidly lose their effectiveness when placed in biological environments. Bioactive coatings can have a variety of chemical compositions, and the common denominator is that they have a predictable, known function and thus exert a specific response in the biological environment when a synthetic material is placed in contact with biological environments. Applications for bioactive coatings comprise the control of wound healing around biomedical devices and the mitigation of bacterial infections on implants, catheters and contact lenses. The coatings can consist of hydroxyapatite (for orthopaedic applications), synthetic or natural antimicrobial substances (to combat bacterial colonization), or surface-adsorbed or covalently immobilized protein layers. There has been considerable research into the fabrication and clinical evaluation of such bioactive coatings, but their effectiveness often decreases markedly with time over periods much shorter than is clinically desirable. Thus, it is highly desirable to develop bioactive coatings with longer effectiveness. To do so in a rational fashion, one must understand the reasons for the current limitations.
One possibility is that when used on biomedical implants, such coatings are attacked by the host body's defense system, which reacts to the trauma caused by the surgical procedure by an inflammatory and wound healing response. At the microscopic level, this comprises attack by proteolytic and oxidative enzymes as well as cells that attempt to engulf the implant (phagocytosis). Thus, it is conceivable that protein-containing bioactive coatings are digested too rapidly by the wound response system. It is, however, less clear why synthetic molecules and coatings should be digested rapidly. Thus, another mechanism may apply : protein adsorption covers the bioactive layer with a random, uncontrolled layer of biological molecules. This adsorbed layer is not capable of exerting the specific bio-responses that one wishes to dictate to the wound healing process.
Hence, the hypothesis of prime interest in this project is whether uncontrolled, non-specific adsorption of various proteins onto bioactive coating is a major cause of loss of bio-specific responses to such coatings. A second line of investigation is, for protein-based bioactive coatings, whether proteolytic digestion is important. A further question focuses on the role and importance of oxidative enzymes, which conceivably could also attack synthetic bioactive coatings, such as comprising bacterial inhibitors.
Finally, based on the results from those experimental approaches, designs will be established for bioactive coatings that may provide longer effective times in biomedical implant applications. Such coatings will be tested in collaboration with microbiologists.
Aims and Significance: The principal aims of this project are to acquire a fundamental understanding of the factors that limit the clinical usefulness and effectiveness of current bioactive coatings. Based on investigation of several possible degradation mechanisms, an understanding will be achieved of the key factors involved for several types of coatings. This will then enable the rational design of strategies for improving the longevity of bioactive coatings. It is expected that the mechanisms may vary for different types of coatings, and hence the paths to improvement may also be different for different types of coatings. This knowledge will underpin the rational design of novel implant surfaces that elicit optimal bio-interface responses. By understanding interactions between bioactive coatings and the host biological environment, one may be able to establish design "rules" for optimal bioactive coatings for various human medicine applications.
Such research is necessarily inter-disciplinary, and the student will acquire skills and understanding of bio-interface science, gas plasma techniques, coatings and surface science, surface analysis, and protein biochemistry. This will equip him/her well for future employment in materials/biotechnology fields.
Methodology: Due to the difficulties and cost associated with obtaining reliable clinical data, most experiments will be done in vitro, with a clinical trial only at the final stage for a promising approach. In vitro test systems for studying interactions between materials and biological media/environments are reliable and repeatable. However, to allow testing of hypotheses, they must be designed with care based on a good knowledge of possible molecular biological phenomena. Thus, model test systems will be designed and implemented to probe for proteolytic and oxidative attack on coatings, and for coverage of the bioactive coating by adsorbing biomolecules. Analysis of the effects of these media on the bioactive coatings will be done primarily by surface analytical techniques, particularly XPS and also some SIMS and ellipsometric measurements. Biochemical assays, particularly ELISA, will also be used to probe for biological activity of epitopes. Once the mechanisms are understood and design criteria established for surfaces that can exert longer-term predictable, controlled bio-interface interactions, such coatings will be fabricated and tested first in model systems and finally in a specific application.

2012 Grammy Awards: Best and worst moments
Best golden statuette: Bruno Mars
After LL Cool J's opening remarks, Bruno Mars kept the energy high and earned a standing ovation with a James Brown-style soul revivalist routine. The pint-sized pop star looked dapper on the Grammy stage in a glowing, gold blazer that practically matched his skin tone. Viewers just tuning in could be forgiven if they thought they were tuning in to the Oscars.

Carine Does Karaoke
While rap brats Odd Future were performing at Alexander Wang's party at Pier 40, a very different headliner was being urged to the stage across the West Side Highway at Westway. At Barneys New York's karaoke party celebrating Carine Roitfeld and the debut of her campaign for the department store, the man of the midnight hour was none other than Valentino Garavani, who brought down the house with a fabulously unironic version of "My Way." It wasn't a moment, it was a moment.
"Done, over—absolutely no one is going to try to top that," said a voice in the audience. But some brave souls did, including Roitfeld, who, having earlier performed a feel-good duet with Anna Dello Russo of Wham!'s "Careless Whisper," now turned her attention to Carly Simon's "You're So Vain." We've heard a rumor that fashion sometimes takes itself too seriously. Kudos to Roitfeld and Barneys creative director Dennis Freedman for devising an evening of entertainment that put a smile on everyone's face. Even before Val got up for his encore, it was clear the night had been "Unforgettable."

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- A new study suggests cougars are again spreading across the Midwest, a century after the generally reclusive predators were hunted to near extinction in much of the region.
The findings by a University of Minnesota doctoral student, a Southern Illinois University wildlife ecologist and the Cougar Network are detailed in the latest Journal of Wildlife Management.
The study showed 178 cougar confirmations in the Midwest between 1990 and 2008. The animals were spotted as far south as Louisiana and Texas.
Confirmed sightings of Midwest cougars were sporadic before 1990, when there were only a couple. The study shows that number spiked to more than 30 by 2008.
Sixty-seven confirmations were in Nebraska, 31 in North Dakota, 12 each in Oklahoma and Texas, 11 in South Dakota and 10 in Missouri. Other states had single-digit tallies.

Serve One Another in Love
- Thursday, February 23, 2012
Most relationship problems have one thing in common: selfishness. What would happen if we followed the Biblical directive to "serve one another in love." (Galatians 5:13) What if we spent as much time concerned about the needs of our mate as those of our own? I believe our marriages would be transformed. Consider reflecting upon your mate's love language, serving them and meeting their needs. Watch as they fall in love with you all over again.
Dr. David Hawkins is the director of the Marriage Recover Center where he counsels couples in distress. He is the author of over 30 books, including Dealing With the CrazyMakers in Your Life, 90 Days to a Fantastic Marriage, and Saying It So He'll Listen. Dr. Hawkins grew up in the beautiful Pacific Northwest and lives with his wife on the South Puget Sound where he enjoys sailing, biking, and skiing. He has active practices in two Washington cities.
