Pasadena, CA – Two-tone mineral veins at a site NASA's Curiosity rover has reached by climbing a layered Martian mountain offer clues about multiple episodes of fluid movement. These episodes occurred later than the wet environmental conditions that formed lake-bed deposits the rover examined at the mountain's base.
Curiosity has analyzed rock samples drilled from three targets lower on the mountain in the past seven months. It found a different mineral composition at each, including a silica mineral named cristobalite in the most recent sample.
This March 18, 2015, view from the Mast Camera on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows a network of two-tone mineral veins at an area called "Garden City" on lower Mount Sharp. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Greenbelt, MD – A team using the Sample Analysis at Mars (SAM) instrument suite aboard NASA's Curiosity rover has made the first detection of nitrogen on the surface of Mars from release during heating of Martian sediments.
The nitrogen was detected in the form of nitric oxide, and could be released from the breakdown of nitrates during heating. Nitrates are a class of molecules that contain nitrogen in a form that can be used by living organisms. The discovery adds to the evidence that ancient Mars was habitable for life.
This self-portrait of NASA's Mars rover Curiosity combines dozens of exposures taken by the rover's Mars Hand Lens Imager (MAHLI) during the 177th Martian day, or sol, of Curiosity's work on Mars (Feb. 3, 2013), plus three exposures taken during Sol 270 (May 10, 2013) to update the appearance of part of the ground beside the rover.

Pasadena, CA – It's tricky to get a spacecraft to land exactly where you want. That's why the area where the Mars rover Curiosity team had targeted to land was an ellipse that may seem large, measuring 12 miles by 4 miles (20 by 7 kilometers).
Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have been developing cutting-edge technologies that would enable spacecraft to land at a specific location on Mars — or any other planetary body — with more precision than ever before.

Washington, D.C. – NASA's Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) spacecraft has observed two unexpected phenomena in the Martian atmosphere: an unexplained high-altitude dust cloud and aurora that reaches deep into the Martian atmosphere.
The presence of the dust at orbital altitudes from about 93 miles (150 kilometers) to 190 miles (300 kilometers) above the surface was not predicted. Although the source and composition of the dust are unknown, there is no hazard to MAVEN and other spacecraft orbiting Mars.

Pasadena, CA – NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its robotic arm Wednesday, March 11th, to sieve and deliver a rock-powder sample to an onboard instrument. The sample was collected last month before the team temporarily suspended rover arm movement pending analysis of a short circuit.
The Chemistry and Mineralogy (CheMin) analytical instrument inside the rover received the sample powder. This sample comes from a rock target called "Telegraph Peak," the third target drilled during about six months of investigating the "Pahrump Hills" outcrop on Mount Sharp. With this delivery completed, the rover team plans to drive Curiosity away from Pahrump Hills in coming days.
This area at the base of Mount Sharp on Mars includes a pale outcrop, called "Pahrump Hills," that NASA's Curiosity Mars rover investigated from September 2014 to March 2015, and the "Artist's Drive" route toward higher layers of the mountain. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/Univ. of Arizona)
Pasadena, CA – Managers of NASA's Curiosity Mars rover mission expect to approve resumption of rover arm movements as early as next week while continuing analysis of what appears to be an intermittent short circuit in the drill.
A fluctuation in current on February 27th triggered a fault-protection response that immediately halted action by the rover during the mission's 911th Martian day, or sol.
Since then, the rover team has avoided driving Curiosity or moving the rover's arm, while engineers have focused on diagnostic tests. Science observations with instruments on the rover's mast have continued, along with environmental monitoring by its weather station.
This March 4, 2015, image from the Navcam on NASA's Curiosity Mars rover shows the position in which the rover held its arm for several days after a transient short circuit triggered onboard fault-protection programming to halt arm activities on Feb. 27th. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Pasadena, CA – NASA's Curiosity Mars rover used its drill on Tuesday, February 24th to collect sample powder from inside a rock target called "Telegraph Peak." The target sits in the upper portion of "Pahrump Hills," an outcrop the mission has been investigating for five months.
The Pahrump Hills campaign previously drilled at two other sites. The outcrop is an exposure of bedrock that forms the basal layer of Mount Sharp. Curiosity's extended mission, which began last year after a two-year prime mission, is examining layers of this mountain that are expected to hold records of how ancient wet environments on Mars evolved into drier environments.
This hole, with a diameter slightly smaller than a U.S. dime, was drilled by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover into a rock target called "Telegraph Peak." (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)
Pasadena, CA – The second bite of a Martian mountain taken by NASA's Curiosity Mars rover hints at long-ago effects of water that was more acidic than any evidenced in the rover's first taste of Mount Sharp, a layered rock record of ancient Martian environments.
The rover used a new, low-percussion-level drilling technique to collect sample powder last week from a rock target called "Mojave 2."
Curiosity reached the base of Mount Sharp five months ago after two years of examining other sites inside Gale Crater and driving toward the mountain at the crater's center. The first sample of the mountain's base layer came from a target called "Confidence Hills," drilled in September.
Gray cuttings from Curiosity's drilling into a target called "Mohave 2″ are visible surrounding the sample-collection hole in this Jan. 31, 2015, image from the rover's MAHLI camera. This site in the "Pahrump Hills" outcrop provided the mission's second drilled sample of Mars' Mount Sharp. (NASA/JPL-Caltech/MSSS)

Pasadena, CA – NASA and Microsoft have teamed up to develop software called OnSight, a new technology that will enable scientists to work virtually on Mars using wearable technology called Microsoft HoloLens.
Developed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, OnSight will give scientists a means to plan and, along with the Mars Curiosity rover, conduct science operations on the Red Planet.

Pasadena, CA – A rock target where NASA's Curiosity Mars rover is using its sample-collection drill this week may have a salty story to tell.
This target, called "Mojave," displays copious slender features, slightly smaller than grains of rice, that appear to be mineral crystals. A chance to learn their composition prompted the Curiosity science team to choose Mojave as the next rock-drilling target for the 29-month-old mission investigating Mars' Gale Crater. The features might be a salt mineral left behind when lakewater evaporated.
This week, Curiosity is beginning a "mini-drill" test to assess the rock's suitability for deeper drilling, which collects a sample for onboard laboratory analysis.
This view from the wide-angle Hazard Avoidance Camera on the front of NASA's Curiosity Mars Rover shows the rover's drill in position for a mini-drill test to assess whether a rock target called "Mojave" is appropriate for full-depth drilling to collect a sample. (NASA/JPL-Caltech)

2007 Mercedes-Benz R320 CDI Q&A
2007 Mercedes-Benz R320 CDI Question: my battery light came on, what do think it is?
my battery light came on, what is the cause? - lou 62
Answer 1
The most common reason for the battery light to come on would be a failure in the charging system. It could be the alternator, but with the cost involved in replacing the alternator, I would recommend having the problem diagnosed before simply replacing it. - Jim Taddei
Answer 2
Because of the age of your car, you may need to replace both the auxiliary battery and the main battery. Just replacing the main battery does not necessarily solve the problem. Just this year April 2012, I first replace the main battery and still got the battery light and then had to replace the auxiliary battery and the problem went away. The mechanics checked the alternator in the alternate was fine but there is a limited life to both batteries. The cheapest battery that I could find that was a exact replacement for the Mercedes battery was obtained at batteries plus. - rglucas

No. 1 | Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation | DiversityInc Top 50
Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (NPC) becomes the first company to ever hold the No. 1 spot two years in a row. This company's diversity-and-inclusion journey has evolved from compliance to true leadership and provides a roadmap for other organizations to follow.
NPC received a well-deserved award last fall as DiversityInc's Top Company for Diversity- Management Progress. Under the leadership of U.S. Country Head, President of Novartis Corporation & President of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation Christi Shaw, the company has a remarkable track record for promoting women: Approximately 60 percent of Shaw's direct reports are women.
NPC's D&I strategy focuses on leveraging the diversity of patients, customers and markets. Diversity and inclusion are embedded in every aspect of NPC's business, from new- product development, to clinical-trial diversity, to commercialization and marketing. NPC's D&I strategy also has focused on recruitment, on-boarding and talent development.
The company has had a disciplined plan to get to this level of diversity management, led by Rhonda Crichlow, Vice President & Head of U.S. Diversity & Inclusion. As part of the performance-management process, executive- committee members and people managers have objectives related to NPC's D&I strategy.
The company's 19 employee resource groups are used both for market development and recruitment/talent enhancement. Many employees participate in these groups—and leaders can capture their roles/responsibilities as part of the performance-management process.
The company has an Executive Diversity and Inclusion Council (EDIC), with Shaw and Crichlow serving as co-chairs. EDIC members represent each functional group and business organization within the company. There also are D&I councils organized by employees who take responsibility for "infusing" D&I in their organizations and functions.
U.S. Country Head, President of Novartis Corporation and President of Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation
"Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation is focused on creating products, services and solutions that help patients manage disease and live fuller lives. We believe that diversity and inclusion are directly linked to the achievement of these goals—and can help us create a culture where people can be authentic and courageous, where collaboration can flourish, and where greater patient and customer understanding can drive future breakthroughs and innovations."
Vice President and Head of U.S. Diversity & Inclusion
"As a healthcare company, having clearer business focus relative to Diversity & Inclusion has become increasingly important to NPC. D&I aligns with what matters most to our business, enabling associates to develop and enhance sustainable business practices to meet the current and emerging needs of our customers, and keep patients at the center of everything we do."

Answer 1
If the check engine light is coming on there should be fault codes stored in the engine control module. Reading a diagnosing the stored codes should help in diagnosing your stalling condition.

I think he just was calling out all the 60's hippie folks. I think (don't have the song at the ready) that the previous name was Kennedy, and he needed a long name, so he chose Zimmerman over Dylan.
Elvis, Zimmerman, Beatles.
Thanks. I guess I should clarify to say 50's/60's hippie folks.

From "Lennon Remembers":
Interviewer: Why did you choose to refer to Dylan as Zimmerman and not as Dylan?
John: Because Dylan is bullshit, Zimmerman is his name.
Yoko: He changed his name.
John: You see, I don't believe in Dylan. I don't believe in Tom Jones either in that way. Zimmerman is his name. My name isn't John Beatle, it's John Lennon. You know, just like that.
(For the record, "Tom Jones" was born "Thomas John Woodward". Wasn't aware that there was anyone named "John Beatle".)

THE STORY OF BALDER THE BEAUTIFUL By E. M. WILMOT-BUXTON From Stories Of Norse Heroes,1909. FAIR beyond all the sons of Odin was Balder the Beautiful, Balder of the snow- white brow and golden locks, and he was well beloved not only by the Asa folk, but also by the men of the earth below. "Of all the twelve round Odin's throne, Balder, the Beautiful, alone, The Sun god, good and pure and bright, Was loved by all, as all love light." Balder had a twin brother named Hoder, who was born blind. Gloomy and silent was he, but none the less he loved his bright sun-brother best of all in heaven or earth. The home of Balder was a palace with silver roof and pillars of gold, and nothing unclean or impure was allowed to come inside its doors. Very wise in all magic charms was this radiant young god; and for all others save himself he could read the future; but "to keep his own life safe and see the sun" was not granted to him. Now there came a time when Balder's bright face grew sad and downcast; and when his father Odin and his mother Frigga perceived this they implored him to tell them the cause of his grief. Then Balder told them that he had been troubled by strange dreams; and, since in those days men believed that dreams were sent as a warning of what was about to happen, he had gone heavily since these visions had come to him. First he had dreamt that a dark cloud had arisen which came before the sun and shut out all brightness from the land. The next night he dreamt that Asgard lay in darkness and that her bright flowers and radiant trees were withered and lifeless, and that the Asa folk, dull and with- ered also, were sorrowing as though from some great calamity. The third night he dreamt yet again that Asgard was dark and lifeless and that from out of the gloom one sad voice cried: "Woe! Woe! Woe! For Balder the Beautiful is dead-is dead!" Odin listened to the recital of this story with heavy heart, and at its conclusion he mounted his coal-black horse and rode over many a hard and toilsome road till he came to the dark abode of Hela. And there he saw, to his surprise, that a great banquet was being prepared in the gloomy hall. Dishes of gold were set upon the table and all the couches were covered with the richest silken tapestry, as though some honored guest were expected. But a throne that stood at the head of the table was empty. Very thoughtfully Odin rode on through those dim halls, till he came to one where dwelt an ancient prophetess whose voice no man had heard for many a long year. Silent he stood before her until she asked in a voice that sounded as though it came from far away: "Who art thou, and from whence dost thou come to trouble my long rest?" Now Odin was fearful that she would not answer him did he give his real name, so he told her that he was the son of Valtam, and asked anxiously for whom the grim goddess of death was preparing her banquet. Then, to his great grief, the hollow voice of the prophetess replied that Balder was the expected guest, and he would shortly be sent thither, slain by the hand of Hoder, the blind god of darkness. "Who then," asked Odin, in sorrowful tones, "shall avenge the death of Balder?" And she answered that the son of the Earth goddess, Vali by name, should nei- ther "Comb his raven hair Nor wash his visage in the stream, Nor see the sun's departing beam, Till He on Hoder's corse shall smile Flaming on the funeral pile." And learning thus of the fate of his two favorite sons, All-Father Odin went sadly back to Asgard. Meantime Mother Frigga had not been idle. Filled with anxiety for her darling son, she decided to send her servants throughout the earth, bidding them exact a promise from all things-not only living creatures, but plants, stones, and met- als, fire, water, trees and diseases of all kinds-that they would do harm in no way to Balder the Beautiful. Theirs was an easy task, for all things loved the bright Sun-god and readily agreed to give the pledge. Nothing was overlooked, save only the mistletoe growing upon the oak tree that shaded the entrance of Valhalla. It seemed so insignificant that no one thought it worth while to ask this plant to take the oath. The servants returned to Frigga with all the vows and compacts that had been made; and the Mother of Gods and Men went back with heart at ease to her spinning wheel. The Asa folk, too, were reassured, and, casting aside the burden of care that had fallen upon them, they resumed their favorite game upon the plains of Idavold, where they were wont to contend with one another in the throwing of golden disks. And when it became known among them that nothing would hurt Balder the Beautiful they invented a new game. Placing the young Sun-god in their midst they would throw stones at him, or thrust at him with their knives, or strike with their wooden staves; and the wood or the knife or the stone would glance off from Balder and leave him quite unhurt. This new game delighted both Balder and the Asa folk, and so loud was their laughter that Loki, who was some distance away pursuing one of his schemes in the disguise of an old woman, shook with rage at the sound. For Loki was jeal- ous of Balder and, as is usual with people who make themselves disliked, noth- ing gave him such displeasure as to see a group of the Asas on such happy terms with each other. Presently in his wanderings Loki passed by the house of Fensalir in the doorway of which sat Frigga, at her spinning wheel. She did not recognize Red Loki but greeted him kindly and asked: "Old woman, dost thou know why the gods are so merry this evening?" And Loki answered: "They are casting stones and throwing sharp knives and great clubs at Balder the Beautiful, who stands smiling in their midst daring them to hurt him." Then Frigga smiled tranquilly and turned again to her wheel, saying: "Let them play on, for no harm will come to him whom all things in heaven and earth have sworn not to hurt." "Art thou sure, good mother, that all things in heaven and earth have taken this vow?" "Ay, indeed," replied Frigga, "all save a harmless little plant, the mistletoe, which grows on the oak by Valhalla, and this is far too small and weak to be feared." And to this Loki replied in musing voice, nodding his head as he spoke: "Yea, thou art right, great Mother of Gods and Men." But the wicked Asa had learnt what he desired to know. The instrument by which he might bring harm to Balder the Beautiful was now awaiting him, and he determined to use it to the dire sorrow of Asgard. Hastening to the western gate of Valhalla, he pulled a clump of the mistletoe from the oak, and fashioned therefrom a little wand, or stick, and with this in his hand he returned to the plain of Idavold. He was far too cunning, however, to attempt to carry out his wicked design himself. His malicious heart was too well known to the Asa folk. But he soon found an innocent tool. Leaning against a tree and taking no part in the game was Hoder, the blind god, the twin brother of Balder, and to him he began: "Hark to the Asas-how they laugh! Do you take no share in the game, good Hoder?" "Not I," said Hoder gloomily, "for I am blind, and know not, where to throw." "I could show you that," said Loki, assuming a pleasant tone; "'tis no hard mat- ter, Hoder, and methinks the Asas will call you proud and haughty if you take no share in the fun." "But I have nothing to throw," said poor blind Hoder. Then Loki said: "Here, at least, is a small shaft, 'twill serve your purpose," and leading innocent Hoder into the ring he cunningly guided his aim. Hoder, well pleased to be able to share in a game with his beloved brother, boldly sped the shaft, expecting to hear the usual shouts of joyous laughter which greeted all such attempts. There fell instead dead silence on his ear, and immediately on this followed a wail of bitter agony. For Balder the Beautiful had fallen dead with- out a groan, his heart transfixed by the little dart of mistletoe. "So on the floor lay Balder dead; and round Lay thickly strewn swords, axes, darts, and spears, Which all the gods in sport had idly thrown At Balder, whom no weapon pierced or clove; But in his breast stood fixed the fatal bough Of mistletoe, which Loki the Accuser gave To Hoder, and unwitting Hoder threw- 'Gainst that alone had Balder's life no charm." Dreading he knew not what, Hoder stood in doubt for some moments. But soon the meaning of that bitter wail was borne in upon him, piercing the cloud of darkness in which he always moved. He opened wide his arms as though to clasp the beloved form, and then with: "I have slain thee, my brother," despair seized him and he fell prostrate in utter grief. Meantime, the Asa folk crowded round the silent form of Balder, weeping and wailing; but, alas! their moans and tears could not bring Balder back. At length, All-Father Odin, whose grief was too deep for lamentations, bade them be silent and prepare to bear the body of the dead Asa to the seashore. The unhappy Hoder, unable to take part in these last offices, made his way sadly through Asgard, beyond the walls and along the seashore until he came to the house Fensalir. Frigga was seated upon her seat of honor before the fire against the inner wall, and standing before her with bent head and woeful sightless gaze Hoder told her of the dread mishap that had befallen "Tell me, O Mother," he cried in end- ing, and his voice sounded like the wail of the wind on stormy nights, "tell me, is there aught I can do to bring my brother back? Or can I make agreement with the dread mother of the Underworld, giving my life in exchange for his?" Woe crowded upon woe in the heart of Frigga as she listened to the story. The doom was wrought that she had tried so vainly to avert, and not even her moth- er's love had availed to safeguard the son so dearly cherished. "On Balder Death hath laid her hand, not thee, my son," she said; "yet though we fail in the end, there is much that may be tried before all hope is lost." Then she told Hoder of a road by which the abode of Hela could be reached, one which had been traveled by none living save Odin himself: "Who goes that way must take no other horse To ride, but Sleipnir, Odin's horse, alone. Nor must he choose that common path of gods Which every day they come and go in heaven, O'er the bridge Bifrost, where is Heimdall's watch But he must tread a dark untraveled road Which branches from the north of heaven, and ride Nine days, nine nights, toward the northern ice, Through valleys deep engulfed, with roaring streams, And he will reach on the tenth morn a bridge Which spans with golden arches Gioll's stream. Then he will journey through no lighted land, Nor see the sun arise, nor see it set; And he must fare across the dismal ice Northward, until he meets a stretching wall Barring his way, and in the wall a grate, But then he must dismount and on the ice Tighten the girths of Sleipnir, Odin's horse, And make him leap the grate, and come within." There in that cheerless abode dead Balder was enthroned, but, said Frigga, he who braves that dread journey must take no heed of him, nor of the sad ghosts flitting to and fro like eddying leaves. First he must accost their gloomy queen and entreat her with prayers: "Telling her all that grief they have in heaven For Balder, whom she holds by right below." A bitter groan of anguish escaped from Hoder when Frigga had finished her recital of the trials which must be undergone: "Mother, a dreadful way is this thou showest; No journey for a sightless god to go." And she replied: "... Thyself thou shalt not go, my son; But he whom first thou meetest when thou com'st To Asgard and declar'st this hidden way, Shall go; and I will be his guide unseen." Meantime the Asa folk had felled trees and had carried to the seashore outside the walls of Asgard a great pile of fuel, which they laid upon the deck of Balder's great ship, Ringhorn, as it lay stranded high up on the beach. "Seventy ells and four extended On the grass the vessel's keel; High above it, gilt and splendid, Rose the figurehead ferocious With its crest of steel." Then they adorned the funeral pyre with garlands of flowers, with golden vessels and rings, with finely wrought weapons and rich necklets and armlets; and when this was done they carried out the fair body of Balder the Beautiful, and bearing it reverently upon their shields they laid it upon the pyre. Then they tried to launch the good ship, but so heavily laden was she that they could not stir her an inch. The Mountain Giants, from their heights afar, had watched the tragedy with eyes that were not unpitying, for even they had no ill will for Balder, and they sent and told of a giantess called Hyrroken, who was so strong that she could launch any vessel whatever its weight might be. So the Asas sent to fetch her from Giantland, and she soon came, riding a wolf for steed and twisted serpents for reins. When she alighted, Odin ordered four of his mightiest warriors to hold the wolf, but he was so strong that they could do nothing until the giantess had thrown him down and bound him fast. Then with a few enormous strides, Hyrroken reached the great vessel, and set her shoulder against the prow, sending the ship rolling into the deep. The earth shook with the force of the movement as though with an earthquake, and the Asa folk collided with one another like pine trees during a storm. The ship, too, with its precious weight, was well-nigh lost. At this Thor was wroth and, seizing his hammer, would have slain the giantess had not the other Asas held him back, bidding him not forget the last duty to the dead god. So Thor hallowed the pyre with a touch of his sacred hammer and kindled it with a thorn twig, which is the emblem of sleep. Last of all, before the pyre blazed up, All-Father Odin added to the pile of offer- ings his magic ring, from which fell eight new rings every ninth night, and bend- ing he whispered in Balder's ear. But none to this day know the words that Odin spake thus in the ear of his dead son. Then the flames from the pyre rose high and the great ship drifted out to sea, and the wind caught the sails and fanned the flames till it seemed as though sky and sea were wrapped in golden flame. "And while they gazed, the sun went lurid down Into the smoke-wrapt sea, and night came on. But through the dark they watched the burning ship Still carried o'er the distant waters.... But fainter, as the stars rose high, it flared; And as, in a decaying winter fire, A charr'd log, falling, makes a shower of sparks- So, with a shower of sparks, the pile fell in, Reddening the sea around; and all was dark." And thus did Balder the Beautiful pass from the peaceful steads of Asgard, as passes the sun when he paints the evening clouds with the glory of his setting.

IMPPA director says it was released a year before Dadasaheb Phalke's Raja Harishchandra, but experts say it was a play.
For a month now, the director of Indian Motion Picture Producers' Association (IMPPA) has been collecting evidence related to the film Pundalik that was made by Pune's Ram Chandra Gopal 'Dadasaheb' Torne.
"Though the film released on May 18, 1912, almost a year before Dadasaheb Phalke's Raja Harishchandra, Torne's work was not acknowledged and did not get the due it deserved," says Vikas Patil, who has collected the cuttings of the English newspaper dated May 18, 1912, in which the advertisement of the film was published. He also has a cutting of the newspaper dated May 25, 1912, which published a review of Pundalik. Patil also got in touch with Torne's family members to gather more information. "Anil Torne, one of the three sons of Ram Chandra Torne, said they have written to various government authorities several times, but haven't got any response yet," he said. The family members are currently residing in Talegaon Dhabade.
Patil is planning to take the issue to the state government and the cultural ministry. "In case nothing concrete is done, I plan to file a public interest litigation," says Patil. According to him, Pundalik had gone through all required procedures of film-making before its release and hence was entitled to be called a full-length feature film. "It had a shooting script, was shot with a camera, its negatives were sent to London for processing, it was followed by the positives and finally released at Coronation Cinematograph, Girgaum. The film ran for two weeks," he argues.
Incidentally, Raja Harishchandra was also released in the same theatre. Torne stayed in Pune from 1931 to 1960 and had set up his studio, Saraswati Cinetone, in the city. He had made 22 films under the banner of Saraswati, such as Raja Gopichand, Chhatrapati Sambhaji, Shyamsundar, Aut Ghatkecha Raja, Bhakt Pralhad, Thaksen Rajputra, Savitri, Bhagva Jhenda and Majhi Ladki. "Shyamsundar was the first Indian movie that ran for 25 weeks. He was also the one to introduce the concept of a double role through his film Aut Ghatkecha Raja," says Patil.

The Brewers Association (BA) announced today that the United States Senate has founded a Small Brewers Caucus led by Senators Max Baucus (D-Mont.) and Mike Crapo (R-Idaho). The group supports the role of small and independent brewers as drivers of economic growth in the country.
In a letter, the senators wrote "in recent years, the more than 1,700 craft brewers all across America have met growing consumer demand for their products by brewing flavorful and innovative beers which they encourage Americans to enjoy in a responsible manner. These small and independent brewers...generate more than $3 billion in wages and benefits, and pay more than $2.3 billion in business, personal and consumption taxes."
Additionally, the group hopes to discuss strategies for increasing the role and importance of craft breweries in local economies. The 1,700 craft breweries across the nation provide some 100,000 part and full-time jobs.
A House Small Brewers Caucus was formed in 2007.

A good number of iPhone 4S users, including myself, have come across an odd glitch with the new 5.0.1 update that causes the message and phone apps to not display contacts' names, rather only their number. This error seems to only affect Verizon iPhone 4S users who updated over the air (OTA) rather than through iTunes. After a little internet searching and about five minutes of fiddling around with my phone, I was able to fix the issue. Follow these steps and it should fix the glitch:
– Dial *22899
– Once the service update is finished, restart your iPhone
– After it boots, double-tap the Home button to open the task manager, close all apps, and restart the phone again
This SHOULD fix the problem. Oddly enough, this doesn't seem like a problem with Apple or the 5.0.1 update since *22899 (the 99 is iPhone specific. Generally you would dial *228) is Verizon's number to call when you activate or update your iPhone's service. I don't know how OTA iOS updates are handled since I'm new to the iPhone, but I know Google would give each carrier or phone hardware company an update to Android and then the carrier/hardware company would be responsible for pushing the update out. If this is the same for iOS, maybe Verizon somehow pushed out a bad update or screwed up the update before allowing it to be downloaded.

To celebrate the Brooklyn Book Festival (which is taking place this weekend), PEN is hosting a Literary Pub Quiz tomorrow at St. Ann's Warehouse, 38 Water Street in Dumbo, Brooklyn, from 7 to 9.
PEN American Center is pleased to announce the return of our popular Literary Pub Quiz! This Brooklyn Book Festival Bookend event gives you the chance to compete with (and against!) editors and writers from your favorite literary magazines, including Cabinet, Gigantic, Harper's, and Electric Literature, as well as writers Matthea Harvey, Ben Greenman, and many more. Come early to reserve your spot on the team with the writer-captain who also knows where Hemingway was born. We'll supply the paper and the pencils; you bring the literary smarts!
Team captains include Gabe Boylan of Harper's, George Prochnik of Cabinet Magazine, James Yeh of Gigantic Magazine, Scott Lindenbaum and Andy Hunter of Electric Literature, translator Susan Bernofsky, Ben Greenman, Matthea Harvey, Amy Sohn, and more; hosted by Katie Halper.
This is free, open to the public, and should be a lot of fun . . .
The Brooklyn Book Festival took place this past Saturday, and as always, I wish I could've been there. I was able to attend a few years back, and was really impressed by how many people were out browsing the stands, attending panels and readings, and generally getting excited about books. And from what I've heard the festival has grown every year since.
As covered in The Mantle, this year's BKBF included a "Reading the World" panel featuring some of my favorite publishers and translators including Karen Emmerich, Susan Bernofsky, Ugly Duckling, and Zephyr. Here's a clip from Shaun Randol's write-up:
Great stuff all around, an excellently curated panel. Every single one of the works presented is worth purchasing (skip the library and give these people some money!). (Note to participants: correct me if you see a mistake! There were no Cliffs Notes for what we were listening to on stage.) Karen Emmerich (representing Team Archipelago) read the poetry and prose from the Greek writer Miltos Sachtouris, skipping us across Aegean waters from Greek isles to ancient Greece. And then . . . Ms. Emmerich read an outstanding piece of poetry on the life of plant, by the poet/author Helenē Vakalo. The Mantle audience pleads for an answer—what is this poem and where can we find it? This vegetative poetic genius!?!? Ms. Emmerich, if you are reading this, please put the information in the comments section below!
Next up, Susan Bernofksy (Team New Directions), reading from German author Jenny Erpenbeck's Visitation. I have nothing written down in my notebook here. This is what happens when the story is too absorbing—you neglect your reporter duties. A complete blank because my eyes were closed and I just listened to the pitter-patter of her voice as she conveyed one of a dozen stories taking place in a single house over generations in what must be an exceptionally intricate novel penned by Erpenbeck. The house is/was real (it belonged to Erpenbeck's family), so how much of the story is as well? Ahhhh . . . German intrigue . . .
Sounds like a fun panel—one of many that took place. Ah well. Next year . . . There's always next year . . .
Aside from bringing some attention to this fair/panel, it's worth spending some time looking around The Mantle. Embarrassed to say that this is the first time I've come across the site, which is dedicated to providing "a forum for the next generation of leaders to be heard—a space for opinions that are different from those found in traditional, established outlets." It's an interesting publication, with a very international focus, and an intriguing book review section. Definitely worth checking out.
He claims his mouth is open because he's pitching a book, which is proof that he works when he goes to NYC. Should we believe him?
The Brooklyn Book Festival is on Sunday, and has a host of interesting events scheduled. (I'd include the link, but the website doesn't allow it.)
One that I'm definitely going to attend is "Brooklyn Bridges to Europe," 3pm on Sunday at St. Francis College (180 Remsen St.):
Brooklyn authors Jonathan Lethem and Jonathan Safran Foer, in conversation with their French and German publishers, explore the appeal of their work to European audiences. Presented with The Cultural Services of the French Embassy, the French-American Foundation and the German Book Office in New York. Moderated by literary critic Liesl Schillinger.
This is part of the "Editors Exchange Program in New York" that the German Book Office, Cultural Services of the French Embassy, and French-American Foundation are putting on.
In addition to the BBF event, there's a panel on "Promoting Literature in Translation Online" Monday at 11am and an "Editors' 'Buzz' Panel" on Monday at 5. Both of these events will take place at the Deutsches Haus NYU (42 Washington Mews, off University Place).
Both events should be pretty interesting. I'll be on the Translations Online panel with people from Words Without Borders, In Translation, PEN America, and elsewhere, and the Buzz panel will give editors from L'Olivier, Editions Allia, Harcourt, DuMont, Wylie Agency (?!), P.O.L., Houghton-Mifflin, and Tropen Verlag a chance to discuss their latest publications or books in progress.
Founded in 1960 by such creative pioneers as George Perec, Raymond Queneau and Italo Calvino, the Oulipo, shorthand for Ouvroir de littérature potentielle, came about in when a group of writers and mathematicians sought constraints to find new structures and. . .
There's little to say about a series of prose poems that willfully refuse to identify pronoun antecedents. Or perhaps there are a million things. The poems in Morse, My Deaf Friend— the chapbook by Miloš Djurdjević published by Ugly Duckling. . .
The Crimson Thread of Abandon is the first collection of short fiction available in English by the prolific Japanese writer and all-around avant-garde trickster Terayama Shūji, who died in 1983 at the age of 47. This collection would be important. . .
Last year, NYRB Classics introduced English-language readers to Catalan writer Josep Pla with Peter Bush's translation of The Gray Notebook. In that book, Pla wrote about life in Spain during an influenza outbreak soon after World War I, when. . .
"Your bile is stagnant, you see sorrow in everything, you are drenched in melancholy," my friend the doctor said.
bq. "Isn't melancholy something from previous centuries? Isn't some vaccine against it yet, hasn't medicine taken care of it yet?" I. . .
What to make of Vano and Niko, the English translation of Erlom Akhvlediani's work of the same name, as well as the two other short books that comprise a sort of trilogy? Quick searches will inform the curious reader that. . .
The opening of Jón Gnarr's novel/memoir The Indian is a playful bit of extravagant ego, telling the traditional story of creation, where the "Let there be light!" moment is also the moment of his birth on January 2nd, 1967. Then. . .

NBC Sports Network NHL analyst Mike Milbury completely trashed Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin for his lack of effort during Wednesday night's game against the Philadelphia Flyers. During the second intermission, Milbury said that Oveckin "should be ashamed of himself" for his "awful display of hockey" during the first two periods. Among the lowlights of Ovechkin's play that Milbury pointed out: A blind pass from behind the Flyers net that he sent all the way down to his own net. A "ridiculous embellishment" when trying to draw a penalty Poor effort on a backcheck A line change taken as the Flyers were scoring a goal. The Flyers won the game 4-1. H/T Puck Daddy.

Salute Your Community Gardeners
Many community garden spots are tended by people you never see; who come to plant and weed and water as volunteers. Salute them over the 4th.
Plant Trees And Shrubs In The Fall
Even with all the recent storms we've had, it's still smarter and less risky to plant trees and shrubs in the fall rather than summer.
Prune Tomatoes If You Prefer
A listener wrote last week to ask about pruning tomatoes. The first thing to know is, you don't have to do it, it's up to you. Secondly, you probably only want to prune vining varieties.
Nature Sees To It That Seeds Get Around
If you wonder how something sprouts in your yard when you didn't plant it, it's because Nature designed seeds to be strewn.
A Hardy Hydrangea That Bounces Back
Native Hydrangea arborescens bloom beautifully no matter how harsh winter was, which is a big relief!
Sprinkling Seeds Can Be Simply Satisfying
Sprinkling seeds is so much easier and cheaper than buying and planting annuals and, since it's only June, they have months to bloom.
Two Free Tours At Scott Arboretum
There's a free tour tonight at the Scott Arboretum and another one tomorrow morning.
Those Bloomin' Hydrangeas Blooming Again
Those old-fashioned big leaf hydrangeas didn't bloom last year because the winter before was so harsh, but now they're back!
Easily Grow Blueberries
If you haven't planted blueberries yet, what are you waiting for?
Your Lawn Is Lucky To Have Clover
Take a week off from mowing. Letting clover flower in your lawn helps the bees – and it's good for the soil too.
Firefly Fun For The Family At Bowman's Hill
You have a chance to recapture the thrill of going out to chase fireflies on Thursday evening, June 25, 2015, from 7:30 – 9:00 at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve.
Plant Asters For Beauty And For Butterflies
Our native asters come in beautiful colors like pink, blue and purple and they attract butterflies, something your mums won't do.
Rain Gauge Will Tell You When To Water
Since it's wasteful and expensive to water when you don't need to, it's just smart to get a rain gauge.
Bet On Baptisia To Please
Baptisia australis or 'false indigo' is an easy-to-grow native perennial that's stunning through three seasons.
Some Plant Rules Made To Be Broken
Even when you don't plant by 'the rules', sometimes a plant will thrive.

FSFE and FFII to Radio Station Winners: "rOGG on"
Radio Free Deutschland: For Document Freedom Day, March 31 2010, a couple of European radio stations were granted awards for using open standards.
The radio stations Deutschlandradio and Radio Orange received the awards from the Free Software Foundation Europe and Foundation for a Free Information Infrastructure because they transmitted over the Internet in the Ogg Vorbis media container format. The free Radio Orange 94.0 in Vienna and dradio.de (Deutschlandfunk in Cologne and Deutschlandradio Kultur in Berlin) were honored with the awards (and a cake) the afternoon of March 31 under the slogan "rOGG on!" (see Gallery).
"We feel more honored by this award than by a Grimme Award," said the online editor of Deutschlandradio, Egbert Meyer, at the cake cutting in Berlin. Matthias Kirschner of the FSFE congratulated the radio station for its pioneering role: "Since 2006 anyone with free software can receive the Ogg Vorbis live-streams from Deutschlandradio without a problem." Stephan Uhlmann of the FFII board of directors added, "Document Freedom Day Prize 2010 honors [the radio stations] for doing it right. With nonpatented audio formats they assure their listeners a freer selection of playback devices and software."
The FFII's commitment to open standards is based on their assertion that patented formats often request licensing fees once there is a dependency on them. "When MP3 first became popular, in 1998 Fraunhofer Institute and Thomson began requesting license fees for the audio format with over a dozen patents," the FFII claims. On their website, dradio.de provides its Ogg streams not only in multiple quality levels for the various bandwidths, but also recommends a variety of playback software, including Linux platforms.

Thank you all for your replies!
I am Australian & I didn't know Rachel Griffiths has a daughter Clementine Grace & do agree because of that that is has been "done".
I love the sound of Clementine Louise Lily & had not thought of using both. The only issue is that if we have a second girl down the track I would want to use whichever MN we don't use for Clementine..
Clementine Louise has won thus far.
Thank you all.

Blackpool couple still missing after Tunisia attack
There's still no official word about a couple from Blackpool who've been missing in Tunisia since a gunman went on the rampage and killed 38 holidaymakers.
Elaine and Denis Thwaites were staying at the hotel in Sousse where guests came under attack on Friday. It's thought up to 30 Britons may have been killed.
In the last few hours, the Prime Minister has declared a national minute of silence for the victims on Friday.
Many of those who survived have been talking of their ordeal. Our correspondent Rob Smith has the latest:

Cameron announces national minute of silence
A national one minute's silence to commemorate the victims of the Tunisia beach attack will be held at midday on Friday, David Cameron has told the House of Commons.
It is believed around 30 Britons may have been killed in the attack, though only 18 British deaths have so far been confirmed.
Earlier Tunisian authorities said they had detained a group of suspects believed to be associated with gunman Seifeddine Rezgui - the first arrests since Friday's beach massacre.

All Tunisia wounded to be home in 24 hours
All British nationals injured in the terror attack on a Tunisian beach will be returned to the UK for treatment within the next 24 hours, Downing Street said, as the official toll of UK deaths rose to 18.
Officials confirmed that the total number of Britons killed when a gunman opened fire on sunbathers in the resort of Sousse is expected to reach "around 30", and said that the UK was pressing the Tunisian authorities to ensure swift access for British experts who have been sent to help identify remaining bodies.
Four of those needing treatment are being flown back to the UK on board an RAF C17 plane with "medevac" teams experienced at bringing injured service personnel back from operations overseas, said Prime Minister David Cameron's official spokeswoman.
The developments came as Home Secretary Theresa May visited the scene of the massacre to lay flowers and observe a period of silence.
Mrs May and Foreign Office minister Tobias Ellwood have travelled to the country to pay their respects and take part in talks with the Tunisian government on addressing the extremist threat.
A total of 38 people perished after a gunman opened fire on a beach in the resort on Friday.

Missouri will always hold a special place in Mississippi State head baseball coach John Cohen's heart.
He was a graduate assistant with the Tiger baseball team from 1992-94, then was boosted to an assistant coach from 1995-97.
Cohen says he has been back one time to Columbia, Mo. He went with a couple of people in the MSU athletic department to tour the Missouri athletic facilities.

Mississippi State had an outside shot to win the Southeastern Conference Championship a year ago after the second round.
The Bulldogs shot a 303 in the third round of the event to find themselves 12 shots behind leader Alabama in second place.
The deficit was going to be hard to overcome, and the Bulldogs stumbled in the third round and finished in a tie for fifth place.

Swastika tattoo prompts a casting change at Bayreuth
The Bayreuth Festival has a new Dutchman, this one presumably minus a swastika tattooed on his chest. The bass-baritone Samuel Youn will take over the title role in Wagner's "Flying Dutchman," which opens on Wednesday, news reports said. Mr. Youn is replacing Evgeny Nikitin, who withdrew from the performances over the weekend after German news media reported that he had acquired a swastika tattoo in his youth, when he played in a Russian heavy metal band. Images show another tattoo partially covering the swastika....

Wheel Stuck
I had to change my 2010 1500 Ram's wheel. I took out all the screws and when trying to pull out the wheel, It is completely stuck. I've check the manual, Youtube videos and nothing. Anything that could help?
I'm guessing you probably live in a northern state with salt and what not on the roads? Basically your going to have to force it off by various means. I had the same problem on my previous truck when it was new, I believe I used a mallet and basically try to rock the wheel back and forth to try to break it free, make sure you have it on some jack stands while doing this though. Ever since then I take a little bit of grease and put it on the hub where wheel seats onto, it will make it easier to remove in the future, just make sure not to get any grease on the threads of the wheel studs.
Kick the edge of the wheel one good time and jar it loose
it doesn't take much, just enough to "break the seal"
One trick my dad uses is to back the nuts off a bit then rock the vehicle for wheels that are really stuck.
That could work but it'd be easy to fubar a stud that way.
The rocking is a great idea. Never thought of that but you can really get some serious force that way..
Last weekend I rotated my tires after all winter. Every wheel was stuck. Rubber mallets won't really get the job done. Get a 2x4 wood and just smack the wheel itself with the wood between the hammer and the wheel. Get a hammer that has a pretty good mass and you won't have to hit it very hard.
Use a wire wheel or abrasive wheel made for aluminum to knock off the corrosion on the wheel mounting face and apply a thin coating of anti seize. Make sure to put it around the center part of the wheel that fits over the axle. This is where it mostly gets stuck.
Same thing happened to me a couple days ago. I just kicked them a few times and it broke loose.
I wouldn't do the rocking trick. Otherwise you'd be back on here asking how to replace studs.

'standard' measurements for infant sweaters?
Does anyone know of a site that has a listing of standard measurements by size? I'm looking for a chart that would like things like chest circ, sleeve length, garment length, etc by size (like 0-3mo, 3-6mo, blah, blah)
my google foo is failing me this morning, and a quick search of the memories and tags of this community rendered me empty handed.
thanks in advance!

Until lately the best thing that I was able to think of in favor of civilization, apart from blind acceptance of the order of the universe, was that it made possible the artist, the poet, the philosopher, and the man of science. But I think that is not the greatest thing. Now I believe that the greatest thing is a matter that comes directly home to us all. When it is said that we are too much occupied with the means of living to live, I answer that the chief worth of civilization is just that it makes the means of living more complex: that it calls for great and combined intellectual efforts, instead of simple, uncoordinated ones, in order that the crowd may be fed and clothed and housed and moved from place to place. Because more complex and intense intellectual efforts mean a fuller and richer life. They mean more life. Life is an end in itself, and the only question as to whether it is worth living is whether you have enough of it.
