Bieber fans irate at Grammy snub
Scooter Braun hits out at Record Academy leaving teen star out of this year's nominations
- Image Credit: Chris Pizzello/Invision/AP
- Justin Bieber performing at the Jingle Ball on Wednesday. While his album, Believe, sold more than 1.1 million copies, he got no Grammy nominations
Irate fans of Justin Bieber and boy band One Direction took to social media on Thursday to voice their outrage after being snubbed by the Grammys for a chance to win the biggest honours in the music industry.
Indie-pop band fun. and rapper Frank Ocean led the 2013 nominations, tying with The Black Keys, Mumford & Sons, Jay-Z and Kanye West for six nods. But The Recording Academy overlooked some of the year's biggest and most commercially successful artists in Wednesday's nominations.
While Bieber, 18, who won three American Music Awards in November, stayed quiet on his omission, his manager Scooter Braun took to Twitter.
"Grammy board u blew it on this one. the hardest thing to do is transition, keep the train moving. The kid delivered. Huge successful album, sold out tour, and won people over. ... This time he deserved to be recognized," Braun posted in a series of tweets.
Many of Bieber's 31 million Twitter fans quickly followed suit, with hashtags such as #BieberForGrammys trending on the micro-blogging service.
The Canadian singer, who has never won a Grammy, in June released album "Believe," showcasing a more grown-up image. The album, which produced top 10 hits "Boyfriend" and "As Long As You Love Me," has sold more than 1.1 million copies.
British boy band One Direction was also left empty-handed despite their debut album "Up All Night" having topped the Billboard 200 album chart.
The quintet has performed sold-out shows across the world and won three MTV video music awards earlier this year.
The Grammy Awards are voted on by members of The Recording Academy and recognize achievement in 81 categories.
Lady Gaga, rapper Nicki Minaj and Korea's Psy also failed to snag any nominations.
While Gaga hasn't released new music this year, focusing on her global tour, Minaj released "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," which topped the Billboard 200 chart and spawned singles such as "Starships."
Psy may have YouTube's most watched video ever with "Gangnam Style," - over 897 million views - but he missed out on becoming the first Korean artist to receive a Grammy nod.
Kelly Clarkson was one of the few leading female nominees, picking up three nominations, including record of the year and best pop vocal album.
R&B singer Rihanna also landed three nods, including best solo pop performance for "Where Have You Been."
Record of the year nominees saw an assortment of rock, pop and hip hop nominees, with Clarkson's "Stronger" competing with The Black Keys' "Lonely Boy," fun.'s "We Are Young," Australian artist Gotye's heartbreak hit "Somebody That I Used To Know," Ocean's "Thinkin Bout You," and Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together."
To be eligible for nominations this year, artists had to release their music between Oct. 1, 2011, and Sept. 30, 2012.
Adele, who swept the awards in February with six accolades including the top three, landed only one nomination this year for best pop solo performance, as she did not release any music in the eligibility time frame.
The nominations for the top awards and main categories were announced during an hour-long televised concert in Nashville for the first time, co-hosted by country-pop artist Swift and veteran Grammy host, rapper-actor LL Cool J.
Adding a twist to the announcements, Hayes sang the nominees for best pop album, a tight contest between Maroon 5, Clarkson, Pink, fun. and Florence and the Machine. Hayes picked up two nods for best new artist and best country vocal performance.
British rock legends The Who will receive the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in February.
The Grammy Awards will be handed out at a live performance show and ceremony on Feb. 10 in Los Angeles.

OAS and Spain Sign Agreement on Human Resource Training
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
July 8, 2014
The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), José Miguel Insulza, and the Secretary of State for International Cooperation for Ibero-America and President of the Spanish Agency of International Cooperation for Development (AECID), Jesús Gracia, signed a memorandum of understanding whereby both organizations will strengthen their cooperation in the field of human resources training and the promotion of dialogue in the field.
The signing took place at OAS headquarters in Washington, DC, in a ceremony in which the OAS and AECID authorities highlighted the extensive and fruitful relationship of collaboration between the two entities and the importance of advancing and further strengthening this strategic partnership, which, they consider, will benefit the member countries of the OAS. The agreement between the OAS and the AECID is especially focused in the areas of crisis prevention and peace-building, human rights, electoral systems and processes, legal and judicial development, citizen and multidimensional security, and governments and civil society.
Secretary General Insulza said the memorandum signed today with the Spanish entity is in line with the objectives of the OAS. "We are currently in an intense period of debate within the Organization on the areas in which we will put more emphasis, and I have no doubt that the area of education and development will continue to occupy an important place," he said. In particular, the leader of the OAS highlighted the scholarship program of the institution, which has almost 50 years of existence, as well as the various online and presence training programs and those related to the improvement of public administration.
The leader of the hemispheric Organization recalled that in recent years the government of Spain had contributed $700,000 in scholarships and professional development programs. As part of this renewed cooperation, they are expected to develop over 20 seminars, meetings and workshops on key issues on which the OAS focuses its work, including electoral process, the fight against drug abuse, migration and the protection of victims of violence. "This signing formalizes an existing commitment and strengthens our bonds of friendship that are important and deep-rooted and that we hope to maintain and to grow over the coming years," he said.
For his part, Secretary of State Gracia alluded to the importance Spain assigns to the OAS, "an organism that has the desire for integration and the ability to promote the principles of democracy and respect for human rights and of political cooperation as well as more specific issues for their countries in terms of development cooperation."
The Spanish authority said the agreement signed today is focused on the main lines of work of Spanish cooperation with the countries of Latin America, "a mature cooperation, in which we take advantage of sharing languages and the opportunity to have similar identities and cultures to work in those areas where we are most effective for the benefit of our citizens."
Finally, the representative of the Spanish government said that as part of the agreement, a component of triangular cooperation will be included, which seeks to identify "how we can bring the experiences of our country from one place to another across the Atlantic, and how to use the knowledge we have accumulated over time."
The signing ceremony was also attended by the OAS Assistant Secretary General, Albert Ramdin; the Permanent Observer of Spain to the OAS, Jorge Hevia; and representatives of the member countries of the hemispheric institution.

Chevron profit up on asset exchange, refineries
Chevron Corp. posted a 41 percent gain in net income for the fourth quarter as the company produced more oil and gas, improved the performance of its refinery business and realized a gain from swapping assets in an Australian natural gas field.
AP Energy Writer
Chevron Corp. posted a 41 percent gain in net income for the fourth quarter as the company produced more oil and gas, improved the performance of its refinery business and realized a gain from swapping assets in an Australian natural gas field.
Chevron Corp. posted net income of $7.2 billion for the quarter on revenue of $60.6 billion. That's up from $5.1 billion on revenue of $60 billion a year ago.
It was the biggest fourth quarter profit in the company's history. The company's annual profit of $26.2 billion was second only to last year's numbers.
On a per-share basis, Chevron earned $3.70. Analysts had expected the company to earn $3.06 per share, according to FactSet, but analysts had not factored in the $1.4 billion gain from Chevron's asset exchange.
Stacey Hudson, an analyst at Raymond James, estimates the exchange was worth 72 cents per share, which would put Chevron's adjusted earnings 8 cents below what analysts had expected but 40 cents higher than the fourth quarter of last year. Chevron's results were also helped by the sale of the company's fuels marketing operations in the Caribbean.
Excluding the gain from the Australian asset sale Chevron's net income rose 14 percent in the quarter.
Hudson described the results as "solid." Chevron shares rose $1.35 to close at $116.50 Friday.
Chevron's production rose to 2.67 million barrels of oil and gas per day for the quarter, up just slightly from a year ago but up substantially from the 2.5 million the company produced in the third quarter of last year. For the year, Chevron produced an average of 2.64 million barrels per day, down from 2.67 million barrels per day in 2011.
Production has been hurt by the temporary closure of the company's Brazilian offshore project in what is known as the Frade field. It has been closed since oil was found to be seeping from the field in November 2011 and again in March 2012.
The company's production of oil and other liquid hydrocarbons in the U.S. rose 3 percent to 462,000 barrels per day in the quarter. That lagged the blistering growth of overall U.S. production which has been rising dramatically in recent years. U.S. crude production rose 14 percent in the fourth quarter of last year to 6.85 million barrels per day, up from 5.98 million barrels per day in the same period of the previous year, according to the Energy Department.
Chevron sold oil and liquids for an average of $91 per barrel in the fourth quarter in the U.S., down from $101 per barrel during last year's fourth quarter. Abroad, Chevron brought in $100 per barrel, down from $101 last year.
Chevron's chemicals and refining operations improved, especially in the U.S., because input costs at the plants including crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids fell while the prices for the refined fuels and chemicals rose. Chevron's refinery output in the U.S. fell by 75,000 barrels per day, however, after an August fire at its Richmond, Calif. plant shut down a processing unit.
Larger rival Exxon Mobil Corp. reported a 6 percent increase in fourth-quarter earnings to $9.95 billion.

Romero Go 8-Bit in "Take the Potion" VideoPosted in Bootleg Theater on October 13th, 2014 by H.P. Taskmaster
This one hit me like a punch directly in the demographic. I remember well playing Zelda II: The Adventure of Link for NES, and having no idea of what was actually happening in the game. Back in the day, an RPG would just basically tell you "go here and get this thing and try not to die on the way" and that was the game. Turn-based battle was the shit, and Final Fantasy always had that over Zelda in my book, but no question the Zelda series has some of the best games ever made in it, between A Link to the Past for SNES and The Ocarina of Time for N64. Classic stuff.
Much to the credit of Wisconsin heavy rockers Romero, who released their debut LP, Take the Potion (review here), last year, the plotline of their 8-bit-style video for the title-track actually makes more sense than did the actual plotline of Zelda II. Drummer/vocalist Ben Brooks goes on an adventure with zombies and a stash of reefer and gradually builds an army of the undead — whose sole purpose, by the look of it, is to party — and eventually saves the Princess with a magic potion made of the last of his stash and whatever else, thus becoming "a real hero." All the while we cut periodically back to the band — Brooks, guitarist/vocalist Jeffrey Mundt, bassist Patrick Hotlen and guitarist/organist Tim Consequence — who are rocking out "Take the Potion" in, what else?, a dungeon.
As videos go, "Take the Potion" is a lot more fun and a lot more creative than four dudes rocking out in a room, and it goes a long way in conveying Romero's unpretentious vibe, the band not taking themselves too seriously as they bust out what's still a killer track from the album that shares its name. The clip comes with a promise of new music soon, so that'll definitely be one to watch for. In the meantime, enjoy:

Hello Zelda Fans!!!!
We are currently working on the Lost Woods. TheXPGamers made again an awesome small teaser for us:
I hope you guys like it!
Please don't leave this hidden, I would love to download this.
I want to ask you guys, If I should make this Mod DLC required. I know, that the most will say, no because they dont want to spend money on the DLCs, but I can make Hyrule mutch more acutater with them. Like I will have Goblins trough the Dragonborn DLC and a perfect volcano,...
Well I dont have that DLC at the moment, only Dawnguard, but maybe later.
Here some Pics for you guys:
Hyrule Guard:
Labrynna Regime:
honestly if it helps make the mod better go for it, don't hold back cause of us
Sounds good to me.
Loving the zelda nostalgia! Just make sure to make the sounds easily editable by the mods fans, so that while you use non-propriatary music to be able to release the mod to a wide array of fans, those of us who have the origional osts and "clips" of in-game sounds (such as the chest open/item obtain) sounds can easily swap them out for the old goodies. :)
Good way to do this would be with a readme that says,
Here are the tracks listed below, and the recommended sountracks to use with them.
"zeldarocks2d" = Zelda Theme from OOT's OST
"hyrulezfield03.wav" = Replace with Soundtrack from Twilight Princess' Ost.
I am using the music from the ZREO Team. But!!!: There wont be any chest open, or battle musics ( only for Endbosses), there will be only Zelda Music for areas like Hyrule Plains, Lost Woods,... But this Music can be only hearn in Hyrule and not in Skyrim. But it will be easily editable, I gave everything proper names, you just need to go under Data/Music/Zelda and Replace the tracks you want, I gave them all the original Names+ the Zelda Games they are from.
Well at the moment I have all Musictracks from ZREO, but maybe I will find an Task for you, if i have one, I will mail you. At the moment Landscape designer are more in Need for this Project.

The 2006 Yamaha R6 was the most high-tech, track focussed motorcycle you could buy when it was released. Technology to put Yamaha's own R1 of the day to shame, reinforcing that 600cc motorcycles are no longer a budget option but for many, simply the best choice.

599cc, 108bhp, 160mph, Insurance group 15
For a supersports machine that's as easy to ride to the shops as it is round Donington Park the 2005 Yamaha YZF-R6 comes close to spot-on. Launched as a rearguard action while the factory prepared their dinky, ride-by-wire '06 hottie, this older version of the Yamaha YZF-R6 still comes with toys like radial brakes and is seriously underrated.

Bug With Star Award
So basically Charlene called and told me to buy a $1200 dress, after that she told me to go next door from her office to attend the star awards ceremony and I did but the area is not open and there's no paparazzi or anything! Is this some kind of a glitch? Or do I need to wait for a few hours till Charlene calls me and tell me to attend the star award? P.s I also have NO task to do.
Answer from: Cam

The yellow dress is 1250, I bought the identical white dress. I bought a 1200 dollar skirt and also another dress that was more than 1200. And it still says I have to buy and wear a 1200 dollar dress. What blue/black dress?
Answer from: hello
I already bought $1250 white dress and $1850 black dress but it still not working. it still says I have to buy and wear a $1200 dollar dress
Answer from: Shelly
You have to buy the $1200 yellow dress, put it on wear it, go talk to Charlene and then after your dialogue with her you will get a phone call from her again about the awards (dont remember how long the wait is).So whatever dresses and skirt or w/e your buying is wrong. 1200 yellow dress.
Answer from: melissa
What if you already bought the yellow dress and its still stuck? it doesnt recognize that I even bought a dress despite buying many dresses that price. Is there any way to fox it?
Answer from: mamabored
Im also stuck at this point. Ive spent all my money buying every dress there is around that price although they were all 1250 because there are no dresses which as 1200. Please help x
Answer from: Chocolatte
I found the 1200 dress after getting out of the stardom app. Try going back in and scroll through. In the midst of the Tops section, there will be a yellow dress.
Answer from: AshleyStardom
You need to wait few more hours and you need to buy yellow dress with price $1200

ABSTRACT: Background: Safe and effective management of the second stage of labor presents a clinical challenge for laboring women and practitioners of obstetric care. This systematic review was conducted to evaluate evidence for the influence of prolonged second stage of labor on the risk of selected adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes. Methods: Articles were searched using PubMed, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL from 1980 until 2005. Studies were included according to 3 criteria: if they reported duration of the second stage of labor, if they reported maternal and/or neonatal outcomes in relation to prolonged second stage, and if they reported original research. Results: Our systematic review found evidence of a strong association between prolonged second stage and operative delivery. Although significant associations with maternal outcomes such as postpartum hemorrhage, infection, and severe obstetric lacerations were reported, inherent limitations in methodology were evident in the studies. Recurrent limitations included oversimplified categorization of second stage, inconsistency in study population characteristics, and lack of control of confounding factors. No associations between prolonged second stage and adverse neonatal outcomes were reported. Conclusions: The primary findings of our review indicated that most of the studies are flawed and do not answer the important questions for maternity caregivers to safely manage prolonged second stage. Meanwhile, approaches for promoting a normal second stage of labor are available to caregivers, such as maternal positioning and pain relief measures and also promoting effective pushing technique.

While other races may carry more prize money, in terms of honour and prestige, the Grand Prix Stakes is second to none in Korea. It's a race that has had movies named after it and is, perhaps, the only domestic horse race to register in the national consciousness.
Sunday at Seoul Race Park sees the 31st edition of the race. It's young in international terms, but in a country where the private ownership of racehorses – and therefore prize money and big Stakes races – go back less than two decades, it is positively venerable. With race fans invited to vote on which horses they want to see in the starting gate, it is the undisputed Championship race in Korea. There is no question of the best horses trying to avoid each other as there is nowhere else to go. In the Grand Prix, the best face the best.
This is because whereas the Classics are restricted to Korean bred entrants, the Grand Prix is open to all. Indeed in the previous 30 editions, home-bred horses have ended up in the winner's circle just four times (including Mister Park who was born in Korea after his dam was imported while in foal). Fillies or mares have won the race five times with Ka Shock Do taking back-to-back wins in 1990 and 1991.
The origin of the winners also shows the change in influence on Korean racing. Throughout the eighties and nineties, the vast majority of horses imported to Korea were from the Southern Hemisphere. This is reflected by Australian or New Zealand breds winning thirteen of the first sixteen runnings, compared with just one American. Since the turn of the century, the majority of imports have come from the USA and American breds have won six out of the last eight editions.
As recently as 1999, a non-thoroughbred was triumphant. Saegangja was by the established sire Fiercely, however, his dam Chuk Je, was not in the studbook. That won't happen again as year on year, Korean racing gradually becomes more mature.
Last year's winner Tough Win is likely to contend favouritism for this year's race with the remarkable Dangdae Bulpae, who is now a three-time President's Cup winner. Dangdae Bulpae didn't stay the distance in 2010 and didn't even start last year but at five, he appears at the peak of his powers.
While Derby winner and champion three-year old Jigeum I Sungan looks set to sit out for sporting reasons, two other names are missing who really should have been here had circumstances been different. 2010 champion Mister Park tragically died after a race at Busan in June this year while Smarty Moonhak, who finished 3rd in the race as a two year old a year ago, was diagnosed with tendinitis after finishing second to Dangdae Bulpae in the Busan Metropolitan.
There is still plenty of interest besides the big two though. US filly Gamdonguibada has won two bg Stakes races and is getting better and better while Sing Sing Cat defeated an out-of-sorts Tough Win to claim the KRA Cup Classic. Meanwhile there are young up and comers such as Smoking Gun and Sydney Jewelry who may also take their chance.
Also set to line up is Dongbanui Gangja, the 2008 and 2009 champion. He's fit and he's still fast but he'll be an outsider to add a third crown.
On Sunday Tough Win will seek to join Dongbanui Gangja, Ka Shock Do and the great Po Gyeong Seon as double winners of the race and prevent a new name being added to the list of horses below who, for one year at least, can claim to have been the undisputed best.
2011: Tough Win (USA) [Yonaguska - Maggie May's Sword (Sword Dance)]
2010: Mister Park (KOR) [Ecton Park - Formal Deal (Formal Gold)]
2009: Dongbanui Gangja (USA) [Broken Vow - Maremaid (Storm Bird)] The now seven-year old two-time champion is a likely starter this year.
2008: Dongbanui Gangja (USA) [Broken Vow - Maremaid (Storm Bird)]
2007: Bally Brae (USA) [Yarrow Brae - Political Bluff (Unaccounted For)] – Also has two second places to his name, in 2006 and 2008. Like his great rival Subsidy, Bally Brae too passed away this year after a short illness having been retired to the Korea Horse Affairs High School.
2006: Flying Cat (KOR) [Western Cat - Flying Wood (Tapping Wood)]
2005: Subsidy (USA) [Mr. Prospector - Foreign Aid (Danzig)] The last son of Mister Prospector died in a paddock accident earlier this year.
2004: Value Play (USA) [Mt. Livermore - Return Of Mom (Deputy Minister)]
2003: Tempest West (USA) [Silent Tempest - Westabout (Gone West)]
2002: Bohamian Butler (USA) [Patton - Circus Princess (Forli)]
2001: Tahamkke (NZ) [Dance Floor - Cantango (Danzatore)]- has gone on to become a moderately successful sire in Korea
2000: Cheolgeoun Party (KOR) [Big Sur - Party Paint (Acaroid)] – The only Korean bred filly to win.
1999: Saegangja (KOR) [Fiercely - Chuk Je] (non-thoroughbred)

Taxi fares from airport may increase by $2 per trip
It may soon cost a little more to grab a taxi from Richmond International Airport, but airport officials believe the extra fee will be worth it.
The Capital Region Airport Commission is asking Henrico and three other localities in the region to approve an additional $2 fee for taxi service that originates at the airport. Henrico's Board of Supervisors will hold a public hearing Oct. 23 to consider a change to its county code that would permit the fee.
Earlier this year, CRAC officials created new, stricter standards for walk-up taxi service at the airport and invited bids from taxi companies willing to meet them. Officials selected the proposals of three companies – Airport Taxi, Galaxy Cab and Richmond Flyer Taxi, which as of July 1 are the only three permitted to transport walk-up passengers. (Other taxi companies can pick up passengers on a pre-arranged basis only.)
The new standards required that each of the three companies:
• use only vehicles that are new as of this year;
• provide uniformed drivers who speak English as a second language, at a minimum, and who have completed a mandatory training program
• accept credit cards.
Each of the three companies is required to pay a $2-per-trip fee to CRAC for the right to provide pick-up service. Companies that provide pre-arranged service pay a $2.60 fee per trip to CRAC.
Because each of the three walk-up service companies invested heavily in order to meet the new standards, allowing them to recoup that $2 fee from passengers would help defray their costs, airport President and CEO Jon Mathiasen told the Henrico Board of Supervisors Sept. 25.
"We're trying to improve the overall appearance of ground transportation at Richmond International Airport," he said. "It is the front door and the last door that many visitors see [of Greater Richmond]."
The new standards make the airport one of few in the nation to offer an entire fleet of brand new vehicles (41 in total, including 5 that are fitted for disabled passengers), Mathiasen said. Each vehicle makes an average of 15 trips per day, Mathiasen said.
Taxi fares from the airport last increased five years ago this month.
Three Chopt District Supervisor Dave Kaechele said he had noticed a difference since the new standards took effect.
"The improvement is dramatic out there," he said. "It's very professional. I think it's got to make a big impression on visitors."
The airport is investing several hundred thousand dollars on a new queuing system that will help taxis conserve gas while they wait for passengers, Mathiasen said. It should be active within about two months.

CCC seeks donations for food pantry
Citizen Staff Reports 11/12/2014
Commonwealth Catholic Charities is in desperate need of food donations for its community food pantry that serves the region's low-income families, according to officials with the Henrico-based nonprofit.
After moving into its new location this past summer, the agency has dedicated a larger space for the pantry but the shelves are practically empty.
"As we head into the holidays and the weather turns colder, the need for food becomes even more critical, but unfortunately our cupboards are nearly bare," said Jay Brown, the agency's director for the division of housing services. "Donations of food will allow us help provide." > Read more.

A 'Life' well lived
Animated 'Book of Life' overcomes average storyline with extraordinary presentation, details
"Beauty is only skin deep" applies all too well to The Book of Life. An animated feature from first-time director Jorge R. Gutierrez, The Book of Life spins a classic love triangle – two childhood friends, Manolo (Diego Luna) and Joaquin (Channing Tatum) both in love with Maria (Zoe Saldana).
Maria, in all honesty, is a little more interested in Manolo's musical charms, but her father wants her to marry the boastful and militaristic Joaquin. And when two gods, La Muerte and Xibalba (Kate de Castillo and Ron Perlman, respectively), turn this little love triangle into a wager (as gods often do), Manolo's quest for true love will take him through life, death, immortality and the underworlds of Mexican folklore.
Now, back to the "beauty" part – because as far as the visuals go, The Book of Life is the most extraordinary animated film to hit theaters this year. > Read more.

Meira returns with amnesia
October 22, 2002
NEW DELHI: Having been rebuffed in her bid to secure entry on her terms in the BJP and Samata Party, Meira Kumar, daughter of the former deputy prime minister Jagjivan Ram, on Monday returned to the Congress after a hibernation of almost three years. Kumar left the Congress immediately after the 1999 Lok Sabha elections complaining about the "raw deal" being given by the party leadership to the representatives of weaker sections. She had also lashed out at the party president, criticising her for her authoritarian style of functioning.
Pre-paid may be the way to go
January 23, 2006
Sanjay Anand , TNN
NEW DELHI: If you are a post-paid mobile phone subscriber and shell out around Rs 450 a month as fixed charges, you may feel cheated that cellular operators are offering lifetime rent-free offers on pre-paid for just about Rs 999. Is it really so? Are mobile phone companies giving post-paid subscribers ? their high - networth client base ? a raw deal, compared to pre-paid subscribers who tend to come and go? TOI did some calculations to dig out the truth. The conclusion we reached was that if you don't make too many calls, it's definitely worth considering a switch to the lifetime pre-paid scheme, despite the higher call rates in that scheme.
Games fund managers play in Maruti
March 19, 2014
Palak Shah , ET Bureau
At the wedding reception of the daughter of a leading stockbroker , a few fund managers were trying their best to convince analysts to go hammer and tongs against Maruti. Since early March when the rift between the Maruti management and non-promoter shareholders first drew media attention, the stock price has climbed 18 per cent to Rs 1,868, from Rs 1,580. However, none of the large shareholders have sold a single share. While it's a widely shared perception that the Suzuki proposal is a raw deal for minority shareholders, one wonders whether a few of them are sensing this as an opportunity to push the company to dip into its cash reserve of more than Rs 3,500 crore to come out with a buyback offer.
Fund music: FM station fails to catch debt signals
February 4, 2004
The mutual fund industry got a raw deal in the finance minister's Interim Budget. The players had been hopeful of an extension of the exemption from 12.5% dividend distribution tax available to pure equity schemes. The FM, however, chose to ignore the industry's claims. This would affect collections in the growth schemes, as dividend payouts would be hit. Some sectoral funds, particularly banking and petroleum sector funds, also took a knock as companies in these sectors were seen to be adversely impacted by the FM's proposals.

Though the Congress said the UPA leadership will decide the chief ministership issue after the polls, the JMM is sure to lay its claim on the post in the...

Rs 3,600-cr highway project to be implemented in K'taka
May 3, 2002
BANGALORE: HIGHWAY projects worth Rs 3,600 crore, including many being initiated by Union Minister for Surface Transport Maj Gen B C Khanduri in different parts of Karnataka on Saturday and Sunday, are being implemented by the Centre this year. The projects, according to state Public Works Minister Dharam Singh, include 625 km of works on NH 4 under the Golden Quadrilateral project and 100 km on NH 7 under the North-South Corridor project. Mr Singh said the Union minister will be inspecting the Krishnarajapuram cable-stayed bridge, the second such biggest project in the country after the Howrah bridge, and performing Bhoomi Pujan programmes for several by-pass works.
Laloo resists MNCs' entry, opposes divestment
May 15, 2004
Ashok K. Mishra , TNN
PATNA: RJD chief Laloo Prasad Yadav, while still on his victory lap, is pulling out all stops to play kingmaker. He has started setting priorities for the "secular" government at the Centre. This time round, he wants to ensure that the disinvestment policy is changed for good. And if Laloo has his way, MNCs will not be allowed entry into the country for producing items which are already manufactured here. He also plans to press for a subsidy regime, demanding a hike in subsidy on items like fertilisers, diesel, et al. Criticising the disinvestment policy hitherto followed by the Centre, Laloo said: "Our country cannot become Singapore or America.
Are NRIs no more a prized lot?
July 28, 2004
Ishani Duttagupta , TNN
NEW DELHI: Global Indians seem to be getting a raw deal. First it was the Budget which did away with tax sops on NRI deposits, and now the official announcement of the dates for the 13th SAARC Summit in Dhaka, January 9 to 11 2005, has put a question mark over the high profile Pravasi Bharatiya Divas which is to be held on the same dates in Mumbai. While no official reaction was available from the ministry for the affairs of overseas Indians, or the minister Mr Jagdish Tytler, sources in the ministry said that Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had been approached for a change in the Saarc summit dates.
Women still minnows in workplace: survey
January 14, 2004
Rajarshi Roy , TNN
MUMBAI: Even as India shines and the nation's politicians debate the fallout of reserving a third of parliamentary seats for the fairer sex, a CII study has found that women employees are being given a raw deal by Indian corporates. The study, initiated by CII's women empowerment committee, has found that employment of women is concentrated in a few sectors, namely banking, IT and IT-enabled services, media, travel, advertising, and market research. But even though 20 to 35 per cent of the employees in these sectors are women, they have little representation at the top level and comprise just 10 to 20 per cent of the senior management.

So Sammy is potty trained, I suppose. She doesn't wear diapers while she is awake. But she gets confused if she wears clothes.
We used the naked method recommended by Principled Parent and it worked really well, but when we found out that she could not go to Montessori in a dress sans underwear, we realized that we'd better start practicing wearing clothes. Surprisingly, she's doing better with #1 than with #2. In fact, in the past 3 days, not one poop has gone in the potty. They've all gone in her clothes or on the floor. I'm not sure what's up with that, since she originally was much more comfortable using the potty for #2. Right now I'm just trying to be patient and hope that she figures it out on her own, but I don't know – maybe I need to do something about it.
We did get a Piddle Pad (also recommended by PP ) for the car seat. I wasn't going to get one – I figured a towel would do – but when we were at WalMart buying school clothes for her, Sammy brought over a package and put it in the cart. Lo and behold, it was a Piddle Pad, so we bought it! Bright girl, that one. Fortunately, she hasn't had any accidents in the car yet, but I know it will happen the first time she dozes off in the car.
She did just fine at day care last week – not a single accident. And there were no problems at Montessori today either, although it was just a 2 hour day. What she is doing is letting out just enough urine so that she won't leak or have an accident, but holding the rest. I'm not sure why she is doing this, or what to do to help her realize that she can just let it all out at once.
She seems comfortable with all kinds of potties, but at home she prefers the little plastic buckets. We got 2 of them from Ikea for a few bucks apiece. Sammy actually uses the potty, wipes herself (if reminded), pours the pee into the big toilet, closes the lid, flushes, and washes her hands, all by herself. She does need help using the soap, though. We have one of those awful, huge pedestal sinks in the powder room and the soap is just too far away for her to reach.
Anyway, I hope she doesn't want to use the buckets for much longer. It's quite messy, and when she is using the potty 3-4 times an hour, I'm not inclined to mop up the floor or disinfect the potty every single time. Do people actually do that? I just mop up the worst of it with toilet paper and clean up at the end of the day. And how in the world are you supposed to help a child wipe her butt, anyway? There is no way you can get in there while she is standing up. I have Sammy walk into the living room and lie down on a pad and raise her legs just like I did with diapers. I was hoping that particular indignity was over for her, but I can't figure out what else to do.
That reminds me – another purchase that was well worth it was Sammy's own special Kandoo wipes and toddler soap. She likes to have things that are just for her.
The new gear we have to haul around is our portable Potette potty, extra clothes, wipes, and towels. The Potette can function as a stand alone potty like the bucket, except that it has a bag/liner that catches the product and can then be disposed of easily. It can also be used as an attachment to put on top of toilet seats that are just too big. Sammy doesn't seem to like to use it that way. If she uses a toilet, she prefers to just sit on it and hold herself up with her hands. (We might not get any use out of those fancy toilet seats we bought a few months ago!)
Overall, the whole process hasn't been all that bad. I expected a lot more accidents than we've had. One more piece of advice from PP that was particularly helpful was this:
I had to learn to trust my kid. When we first started potty training and we were in the outside world I would nervously ask him over and over if he had to go potty. Ben and I would make each other anxious and Charlie got upset by our bothering him. It also resulted in an accident out and about. From this we learned to relax and not push the issue. It's OK to remind him after a significant amount of time has passed, but not be bothersome.
I do think that the parents' attitude plays a huge role in how the process goes. Too much anxiety is counterproductive. A little trust goes a long way. Being patient with accidents is critical. Accidents will happen. If you set your expectations it won't bother you so much and you can keep the attitude of this being an exciting new thing your child can do. Finally, taking the action of putting away the diapers, telling your child that they are not needed any more, and meaning it, is probably the most important part of the whole process. That, and lots of Clorox wipes.

Tank - Compliments
Artist: Tank
Producer: T-Minus
Album: Savior
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 4 votes )
If there's one thing that all ladies love (and all men, for that matter) it's receiving Compliments. Well aware of this fact, R&B veteran Tank takes the opportunity to shower all of womankind with flattery on his latest single. Since it wasn't possible to get every woman and girl in the studio, Kris Stephens accepts the praise in their place, joining the headliner over T-Minus' sizzling synth boardwork. Like what you're hearing? Then keep it locked for more tunes leading up to the December release of Tank's latest album, Savior.

Bentine takes the leading role, playing Horace Quilby, a mild-mannered widower living in the London Docklands. His job as a sandwich-board man requires him to wander around London wearing morning dress and carrying advertisements. He is also secretary of the Sandwichmen's Brotherhood. But his real interest in life is pigeon racing, especially 'Esmerelda', who is racing from Bordeaux to London. During the course of one day, Quilby encounters a host of eccentric characters, who are played by some of Britain's best known comedy and character actors, and becomes involved in a series of capers. The main story thread sees Quilby reunite Sue (Suzy Kendall), a young model with Steven, her errant boyfriend. Originally the film was slow in the box office at the time of its release, but has since achieved some cult status among film fans, particularly for its backdrop of London in the Swinging Sixties.
Chayley Broadbent (John Gregson) has inherited his father's rag business, fortune and caution with money. This is to the annoyance of Ethel (Susan Stephen), his fiancee, who has refused to marry him until he learns how to enjoy himself. So that is what he decides to do. He travels to London with friends and attends a show. There he is captivated by a stunning, blonde dancer (Diana Dors) and proposes to her as well. She has the attitude that if a man is rich, say yes, if poor, say no. Chayley is left to decide how to impress her and, more importantly, if he really wants to. Watch closely for supporting actors Joan Hickson and Donald Pleasence doing what they do best!
Look Out…Diana Dors in the title role makes the title redundant! While working in a bookstore, our double-barreled femme fatale catches a man stealing a rare book. Report him to the police? Not on your life! She goes with him on a date…one that leads to blackmail!

40" for $222 shipped? i'm in 4 1
tax in CA for me
