First Stereo Italian Partners Plan to Appeal to Court
Italian shareholders of the First Stereo broadcasting company will lodge a lawsuit against MP David Bezhuashvili, one of the founders of the broadcaster, David Zilfimian told media.ge.
According to him, Italian partners plan to appeal to court for lien on their property and to request compensation for the loss.
"The verdict made on the given case by Italian Court will be in force, as according to Georgian legislation, a case of a company registered in Georgia and of a Georgian defendant must be discussed by Georgian City Court," Kakha Kozhoridze, lawyer of the Georgian Young Lawyers Association says. According to him, Italian Court will be authorized to decide upon the case only in case if in the contract it was indicated that disputes have to be settled in Italian Court.
Media.ge attempted to obtain contact information of Zilfimian's Italian partners from the founder of the First Stereo himself, although Zilfimian refused to reveal the information.
'You will not be able to communicate with them first of all due to the language barrier and also they do not trust Georgian journalists; they will doubt if you are a journalist, or Bezhuashvili's representative who will use their quotes as he wants," Zilfimian said.
Founder and former director of the broadcaster is also planning to lodge two lawsuits against Bezhuashvili. With one lawsuit he plans to request annulling of the decision of the Partners' Meeting and with the second lawsuit is requested lifting of lien put on David Zilfimian's property.
According to David Zilfimian, he started facing problems with his property after he reregistered Stereo + to his son and signed a contract on technical cooperation with the Ninth Channel.

The new Calvin Klein photos by Marco Ovando are a dark and revealing collection featuring Simon Sherry-Wood wearing Calvin Klein briefs. Simon poses in a grimy hotel room, smoking a cigarette and slipping off his underwear to make a phone call. We're guessing he wasn't just ordering room service.
Marco Ovando has been a busy guy lately. He shot the promotional video for the Dworld Underwear Party which comes in both clean and x-rated versions. Ovando took party host Will Winkle and porn star Jake Andrews and put them in a sleazy New Jersey hotel room with three other guys in underwear. As we're sure you can imagine, things got a little crazy.
"A lot happened that didn't make it into the clean cut," Ovando told The Underwear Expert. "The good news is that we will be realizing an x-rated version really soon on XTube and for more you're going have to come to the party where you will see the raw footage displayed as visuals."
Ovando also praised the professionalism of the models in the video and photo shoot. "The experience was fun. We got a good team together. We had a problem finding the right place to shoot in New Jersey, but once we found the cheap hotel room, it was easy to get into the mood. It went better than planned, the energy was great and everyone was in good spirits. Everyone had good chemistry and all of the boys were very professional and took directions very well."
The DWorld Underwear Party will be at Rebel Nightclub in New York City the night before Thanksgiving (November 21st). With Daniel Nardicio producing and Will Wikle hosting, it's definitely going to be an event you'll want to attend. Tickets to the party can be purchased at www.dworld.us. Be sure to use the special discount code "expert" when buying your advanced tickets.
Check out the Calvin Klein photos by Marco Ovando below, and be sure to keep an eye on The Underwear Expert for continued coverage of the DWorld Underwear Party.

If true, this will be a big leap forward for mirrorless systems. No waffling.Note too, the power zoom for video fans.http://www.43rumors.com/ft5-hot-image-leak-panasonic-new-14-42mm-is-a-pancake/Cheers,Rick
And here it is.http://dpreview.com/previews/panasonic_x_14-42_3p5-5p6/While targeting the video-centric shooter, if it's as sharp as Panny implies it will be a very attractive compact zoom for still photographers. Smallest zoom I've ever seen for a system camera. On a GF3 body the combined weight will be a scant 359g/12.7 oz. Remarkable.Cheers,Rick
I have to say that the Panny shooters have had a great lineup of lenses and this one is really nice. I typically restrict myself to the 16mm prime on my NEX because of it's small size but it means that many of my portraits are so-so. With a 42mm that would change things quite a bit. I'm not changing my system, but wish Sony could put a little more effort in competing with Panasonic. I could always buy a Pentax 40mm 2.8 Prime and use my adapter but it's a lot more work. I'll just keep whining.
This lens is the one! Extremely compact and light and Pana claims that it has better image quality.I've been waiting for micro four thirds or NEX to mature and they are getting there. I'd been leaning towards the new PEN Micro in part because the Oly 14-42 is smaller than the Pana equivalent and the PEN 14-140 zoom is much lighter than the Pana or NEX alternatives. But this lens pushes me towards the GF. Finally a great camera system that is light enough to put in a pack!
The Pancake zoom was made official yesterday and with that Pana announced their "premium" 45-175mm (90-350mm) tele zoom.This is a 3.5", 7.4oz lens (90mm,210g)http://www.dpreview.com/news/1108/11082612panasoniclumix_x_45-175mm.aspIf you can put up with the max aperture, the above duo sounds pretty good to me.Franco
Very nice. I'm going to have to jump in now! Probably with the Olympus system as I have to have an EVF and I believe that the GF3 doesn't allow for one to be used. This lens combined with a fast prime would be very sweet system.

For small-business owners inundated with the tasks of expanding, employee wellness is often far down the list of things to consider.
But whether you have five employees or 5,000, paying attention to workers' general health and helping people prevent or manage disabilities can pay off.
Health-Care Reform and Your Small Business
How does the Affordable Care Act affect small-business owners? MarketWatch's Robert Powell talks with three experts about how business owners should approach employee health benefits in light of the new law.
That was the theme at the Integrated Benefits Institute's annual forum held recently in San Francisco, where more than 400 benefits directors and chief medical officers from companies large and small traded ideas about managing workers' health, productivity and absences.
The good news is it doesn't have to be a heavy lift. By keeping activities fun for participants, small businesses often find they can weave wellness into their existing health and safety infrastructure, said Karen Curran, director of health risk management for Pinnacol Assurance, which sells workers' compensation insurance to 55,000 policyholders in Colorado.
Given an aging population and growing obesity nationwide, health risk factors and chronic medical conditions are putting more small companies at risk for high costs, Curran said: "If we're going to move the needle, we've got to help the small guys."
Small businesses are especially well-positioned to launch homegrown programs because they know their culture and what motivates their people.
Employers can promote stop-smoking and nutrition classes, biometric screenings that help people monitor their blood pressure and cholesterol, and health-risk assessments by making them "more like recess than a spelling test," Curran said.
In a weight-loss challenge, for example, measuring results by teams' total pounds shed can defuse the pressure individuals may feel to drop weight. "It's camaraderie. It's kickball on the playground, not 'You have to do this or you're going to be punished.'"
A variety of wellness offerings and incentives can work, from replacing office candy bowls with fruit to staging team-based physical activity contests, conference panelists said. But having a single-minded focus on return on investment is often self-defeating.
Catching problems early
Yoga classes during lunch, smoking-cessation help and biometric screenings are among the offerings at Flood & Peterson Insurance, Chief Executive Mike Butler said during a presentation. Flood & Peterson is a Pinnacol client and broker that has 115 employees at three sites in Colorado.
Through biometric screenings, two employees were found to have life-threatening illnesses and entered treatment, which was covered by the company's health plan, he said.
"The flip side is our health costs went up in the next few years," Butler said. "We want to be known as an employer who cares about our employees, so we were prepared to make that investment."
The wellness program has brought gains that don't show up right away on the company's balance sheet, he said. "We've seen significant improvement from the cultural standpoint and morale standpoint, but not on ROI. That takes time."
Workers used to adhering to safety guidelines through a workers' compensation program can be more receptive to wellness initiatives than those who are introduced through their health-insurance plans, since workers tend to associate privacy fears with the latter, said Curran of Pinnacol.
"We've got to look at the whole person, not just the short-term disability," she said.
Unlike most workers' compensation insurers, Pinnacol offers assistance to small businesses that also want a worksite wellness program.

- - "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing? (http://www.sailnet.com/forums/boat-review-purchase-forum/94608-right-boat-icw-nc-gunkholing.html)
"Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Hello folks. I have a question and would appreciate some advice. Planning for semi-retirement, we are thinking of changing boats to fit our needs, including on the ICW and gunkholing NC coast. Therefore draft is a consideration. Also we expect that as we further age, the next boat will be used more to motor than sail.
We currently have a wonderful Cheoy Lee Offshore 28 in Maine. What we like about her: Full keel with cut away forefoot, protected prop and rudder, draft under 4' with board up and mast under 40' powered by Yanmar 30. It also has an elevated table/seating below that works like a deck saloon with a view of surroundings as you sit at the table.
While this could make for a good boat for us and the ICW, we also want to have room for guests along the way and are looking at boats with second cabin.
As price is an important consideration, we have looked, and read on-line, about many older boats including motorsailors, such as older Nauticat 33. Considering we could have the cockpit as seating "with a view," we looked at Luder's Midshipman 36, Gulfstar 36 and also viewed some catamarans. We certainly want to keep sailing, as well as motor the ICW. We want to keep size down, which will help with size of rig, anchor, etc. and help with costs. Lastly, aesthetics are a consideration.
What other boats might we look at? What draft should we consider for the ICW and for gunkholing NC? Any other thoughts would be appreciated.
David (and Nancy)
ps - I hope this is the right place to post this question. Let me know if I need to move it. thanks
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Ahh, to actually be considering sailing away! I appreciate the opportunity to pretend for a moment since I can't follow in your wake just yet.
To summarize your requirements, some of them inferred from the boats that you cited,
1) Good motoring qualities, but can still sail
2) Room for 2 couples
3) A nice "back porch" for watching the ICW go by
4) Shoal draft
5) Traditional lines
6) Not sure what your cruising kitty holds, but I tried to limit the list to those you could get for around 100K
Here's some boats that I'd consider:

Good luck with the hunt!
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Though I'm obviously biased, that's what the Ontario 32 was designed for.
While it doesn't have 2 "cabins", the L settee pulls out to a double.
The downside is the cockpit isn't big like the newer boats. Hard to beat the late model Catalinas and Hunters with their wide beam and sternrail seats, as well as the walk through sugar scoop.
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
If I was to buy a sub 35', sub $50 k motorsailer, to cruise the ICW, the Bahamas and maybe do the loop, I would snap up the best Fales Navigator I could find.
1977 Fales Trawler MotorSailer Power Boat For Sale - www.yachtworld.com
I've been tracking these for a couple of years. real world sale prices are south of $30K, as low as $15K.
There are better sailing boats, better motoring boats, but it is hard to beat the overall package for ICW crawling.
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Probably the hands on best for the Carolina Sounds would be a center-board boat such as a Tartan37 ... and quite a few T37s have circumnavigated.
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Thank you all for your replies. I am looking at the links you provided. Just this past weekend I looked at a tired, Nauticat 33 that seems to draw about 4'5"). Tired is unfortunate, but the crusing kitty will require something in need of work.
Again, thank you for your thoughts. I will continue to check back here and post new findings.
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Thanks for the note on the Gratitude 105. $435,000. Lovely boat, move the decimal point to the left two places and it still stretches, but begins to fit the cruising fund! All the best, David
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Billsull -
Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I think you crusing fund idea is, unfortunately, too large.
Our lovely Cheoy Lee Offshore 28 could do the ICW trip, but, without providing the space for additional visiting friends. Unless we enclose the cockpit for additional sleeping space.
Anyway, we would have to sell her to get a larger ICW boat. She will not sell for 30k, even in her pretty state so....
The fact of many cruisers; spend more money on a boat and have more boat and limited time to cruise; or, spend less money on a boat and have less boat and more time to cruise.
Re: "Right" boat for the ICW and NC gunkholing?
Sweet boat. I can see why you like her.
I see nothing, however, above what our Cheoy Lee offers. We can drop the table to create a double berth and thus sleep at least 5 plus two in the cockpit. What we are seeking is two seperate, private, double berths for visiting friends.

Focus Features
"Hyde Park on Hudson" opens in Austin on Dec. 21, 2012.
MOVIE REVIEW: Hyde Park on Hudson
Bill Murray leads the way with a Golden Globe nomination for his portrayal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt in "Hyde Park Hudson," opening to a limited release on Dec. 21, 2012.
When Margaret "Daisy" Suckley died in 1991, her family discovered a treasure trove of letters and diary entries detailing her 99-year life. She had been long known as a confidante and very close friend and aide to her distant cousin Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States. Daisy spent much of her time at the President's side, both at the White House and FDR's mother's house, Hyde Park-on-Hudson. Amongst the letters and diary entries found under Daisy's bed were accounts of meeting King George VI and his wife Queen Consort Elizabeth, Winston Churchill, and Joseph Stalin at the Yalta Conference. Her relationship with FDR had long been speculated as intimate, and her letters and diaries gave enough indication that Richard Nelson wrote the play "Hyde Park-on-Hudson" about their relationship. And it was this play that provided the story for the film of the same name.
The film itself operates on the same level as a radio play, something that the original play explored in an adaption for BBC Radio 3 in 2009. Because much of the relationship between Daisy and FDR is pieced together from her personal letters and diaries, she provides a voiceover narration that is consistent throughout the entire film. The backbone of the film, however, is ultimately King George VI and Queen Consort Elizabeth's visit to America in June 1939. With Europe on the brink of a Second World War, the Royal Couple visited FDR to please for assistance when England declared war against Germany. However, because of political pressures and lingering disdain for the British Crown, FDR's cabinet and advisors warned against the two visiting at the White House. Instead, they met at Hyde Park-on-Hudson, the house of FDR's domineering and controlling mother Sara Delano Roosevelt.
|Laura Linney, Bill Murray, and Olivia Williams
|Rotten Tomatoes
The personal conflict of the film stems from the power plays of the women in FDR's life, most notably his secretary Missy, his mother, and his wife Eleanor. The President was constantly surrounded by powerful women who aimed to steer the Royal visit in the direction they saw fit. Daisy here provides mostly observation on the power dynamic at Hyde Park-on-Hudson, and how after a single phone call from FDR her life became hinged upon his visits. And while the four women spied and sneered, the King and Queen of England were battling just as much for appearances and the facade of control and confidence as FDR's women. However, their stakes were much higher, and ultimately made their side of the story the most engaging and rewarding.
This is ultimately the film's biggest weak point. While Daisy clearly has an interesting perspective on FDR and the power plays of the women he surrounded himself with, there was never a goal reached or even aspired to in these relationships. They were content to share, and although high emotions ran through the women's interactions—particularly Missy and Daisy—the ultimate compromise was disappointing. The Royal Visit, however, contained the most tension and intrigue, as the film spent equal time showing their reactions and nervous anticipation as it did FDR's and the entire Hyde Park-on-Hudson staff.
What it comes down to is, much like radio, one character became the narrator because it felt like a narrator was needed, and Daisy was easily that voice because she was the newest member and could observe as a neutral outsider. But since her story never really grew, and she never had any sense of real character development, it felt like her character was only present as an excuse to have her act as narrator. The translation from play to film could have been better executed, but the pieces and players in this film truly shine. What it retains from the radio play, however, is the changing tone of the film. Both Daisy and the Royal Couple adjust to Hyde Park-on-Hudson and the power dynamics of the household, and as the film progresses, the tension decreases.
|The King and Queen meet FDR at Hyde Park-on-Hudson
|Rotten Tomatoes
Although the two portions of the film's narrative feel somewhat disconnected, there are plenty of other elements that make it truly shine. The cinematography is absolutely gorgeous—it can be so easy to think of the Presidency as something that happens behind closed doors and in smoky rooms, but ultimately FDR's existence hinged upon the outdoors. Flower-covered fields, winding roads through the forest, swimming pools, and hills upon hills surround the President at Hyde Park-on-Hudson, and director Roger Michell captured this scenery in breathtaking fashion. FDR felt at peace when he could escape his meetings and staff and drive through the countryside, and those moments in the film felt truly open and free. The setting of the period, from cars to linens to outfits, was gorgeously executed, with the entire film feeling truly drenched in the 1930s.
Already nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance, Bill Murray truly leads the way in this film with a masterful performance. His acting was truly nuanced and approached with great care. The only weakness, however, is that Murray ultimately looks and sounds nothing like FDR. Yet in spite of that, he really does play the part masterfully. The true treasures of this film, however, are Olivia Colman and Samuel West, who play the Queen and King respectively. In the quiet moments they have together at Hyde Park-on-Hudson they quickly establish the dynamic of their relationship—a couple that had the Throne thrust upon them after his brother abdicated—and also highlight the two predominant views of America by the British. The Queen disdained America and harbored the resent of a collapsing Empire, while The King saw that matching America's self-confidence could help them forge a powerful and rewarding relationship. Their conversations were the most rewarding, and their story the most engaging.
Some viewers may not find themselves able to forgive the disjointed narrative of Daisy and the Royal Couple's visit. And while this is a noticeable flaw, the acting and gorgeous cinematography shouldn't scare anyone away from seeing the film in theaters.

Popular Like iPad & Chat Roulette: Bieber tackles kiss with Jasmine Villegas
By Conrad Abellanosa at 10 December, at 03 : 09 AM
Justin Bieber is as popular as iPad and Chat Roulette and he addressed kissing Jasmine Villegas to Barbara Walters.
There's no denying that Justin Bieber is the one of the most popular teen star in his generation. In fact, he's one of 2010′s most popular searches – where his level of popularity is as immense like a website (Chat Roulette) and a gadget (iPad). That's a report confirmed by Google Zeitgiest – dubbed as "the aggregation of billions of search queries people typed in" in the world's prime search engine (if you don't know what that is – you're living under a rock, honey!).
That list is topped by Chat Roulette – an innovative website that pairs two people randomly to have a video chat with each other. That's followed by iPad then Justin Bieber comes in third. Did you remember that Twitter banned "Justin Bieber" because his name pops up in their trending topic almost daily?
Anyway, that's probably the reason also why Justin is in Barbara Walter's "10 Most Fascinating People of 2010″. Aside from his intense popularity, Justin is also haunted by issues on his personal life. The kissing photo with Jasmine Villegas has caught Barbara's fancy that she confronted him about it. Justin addressed the issue saying that it's just normal for 16 year old boys to kiss – there's no big deal about that. For the record, he said they didn't know somebody was taking photos of them.
To clear things up, Bieber declared that he is single. So Jasmine is not his girlfriend for now. Oh well, we're guessing a lot of tween gals out there are rejoicing to hear this wonderful news.

Been using this for 6 weeks. The lady at the counter said this is when I will start to see improvements. Still have very bad acne scarring on my forehead and other areas on my face. Extremely expensive, didn't work, broke me out, not worth it.

I have normal/combination skin with a fair amount of acne scarring. I've been using this product for at least six months and I've seen a vast improvement in the scarring (the scarring got lighter and it looked like it was disappearing). I'm pretty impressed with this corrector. It has a running consistency, goes on a little sticky, but gets absorbed quite quickly. There isn't much of a fragrance and it didn't break me out. You can put on moisturizer afterwards, but you don't have to. One complaint I do have about this is if you like trying out new products, this isn't for you. For some reason, when I stopped using this to try another serum, the scarring kind of came back....So I really don't know how long I have to use this product to get "permanent" results.

- formula feels nice on skin
- does not need additional moisturizer at night
- does not leave greasy film after application or after many hours
- does not irritate my skin or my eyes (if accidentally smeared close)
- one pump is enough for my cheeks and forehead where my spots are
- pump dispenser = more sanitary and keeps formula from deteriorating
- does not eliminate or lighten spots
- spendy for the amount in the whole bottle
- large bottle packaging, small amount
- can't tell when you are running out
Got this from my mom's stash. Used it day and night. No improvement on dark spots. Won't repurchase. Try it as it seems to work for some people - maybe the younger set??

Does wonders for my sensitive/rosacea/combination skin! I dont have major pigmentation issues to fight, but have a few old pink acne scars, general redness and the first small age spots on my temples. I have been using this serum nightly for 6 months, and wake up every morning withhappy, even, almost flawless skin. While i don't see huge improvements on the age spots, this serum calms down my rosacea redness, evens out my overall skin tone and smooths out my skin. I very rarely write rave reviews, but this serum is a product i will never be without.

love the pump and the quantity received from it. the consistency of the product is not bad and goes on smooth as silk, i love waking up in the morning without that grimy oily face and when i wake when using it, it feels the same as the night before (nice and fresh).
as for the ability of dark spot correcting, i have yet to see any change. but i have only used it for about a week on and off.

As a sufferer of hyper pigmentation, I thought I would try this product after hearing so many positive things about it. The lady who served me at the Clinique counter pointed out that even though I was 24 (and live in the UK) my skin was somehow suffering from sun damage and this product would help to repair my skin.
I was recommended to use the product once in the morning alongside SPF sun cream and once before I go to bed. After working my way through 2 bottles, I was amazed with the results. My sun damaged patches seemed to reduce and become less obvious and dark spot scarring on my face appeared to fade. I think the key is that you need to use a high SPF during the day with this product in order for it to work effectively.
I have since stopped using this product as I can't afford it at a pricey �42 for 30ml. However, I haven't noticed any regression in terms of dark spots returning so I would say that the product does work well for me. If I had the money I would definitely continue to use it.

I have dark acne prone skin, and i decieded to buy this based on the what it said it dies on the website. I have never been a clinique fan, but since i was looking to get rid of post acne marks i made the decision to purchase. I used up 2 bottles but no change. Even added the cleansing bar and the clarifying lotion. I do not know if this works well for dark skin, but it did nothing for me. The only good thing is that it didnt break me out.

Worked miracles!!!
Being reluctant (stupid to be accurate) to use UV filters while sunbathing, left me with terrible dark brown patches on my cheeks and forehead. After reading 100's of reviews of different products I decided to go with Clinique Even Better Dark Spot Corrector. The leaflet states that one 30ml bottle will provide 6 weeks of treatment. It lasted me 6 months used 2 a day for the first 3 and then only once in the morning followed by the spf40 cream from the same range (which BTW is just awesome). So I did not see any improvement for the first 2 months and I started feeling rather disappointed but decided to use the rest of the product before starting another search for sth that would actually work. But then, I started noticing a slight improvement and eventually, 3 months later I realised all of the discolouration was completely gone. I wish I have taken pictures at the beginning of the treatment to show you how bad the discolouration was and how my skin looks now. Clinique consultants all say you must use this for a while to see improvements and at first I thought it is simply to make people buy more and more of this stuff but this actually is a key to get the desired results. They also say that most of people dump this serum when they don't see any change in 6 weeks and that is what I was about to do. Thanks God I didn't. Give it a go and don't forget about using high SPF after.

"My Dear Daughter, Severe Not Your Family Ties"
29/04/2012 23:35:00 hk
Kochi: "I will not live without my daughter. I will never believe that she converted into another religion, even if the whole world says so. No one knows her better than I do. I know for sure that there are people who have conspired, to convert her into another religion. But how do we ever prove this? We do not have the money or means of doing it." These were the heartrending words of Radhamani, whose daughter Nimmy pretended not to see her family members.
Nimmy, on whom her own father, mother and brother had lavished all their love, now stands estranged from the family- she is now under the influence of Islam after having made a conversion into a Muslim. Nimmy, who is a Post Gradutate, with a B.Ed has taken to Islam a month earlier and is now studying in a seminary in Kozhikode, Tharbiyathul Islam. Her mother continues to live with the hope that Nimmy will return to the family after her 2-month study at the Islamic seminary.
The incident came into light when Nimmy, daughter of Karthikeyan, who hails from Kayamkulam Kanjirappilly, remained missing from the family. Her father filed a Habeas Corpus, following which Nimmy presented herself in the High Court on Friday. However, what surprised and anguished her parents were the utterances of Nimmy, when she said that she had made the conversion to Islam on her own, without any compulsions from outside.
The distraught parents feel that the very behavior and attitude of their daughter is far from natural. "Two days after our daughter was missing, we got the information that she was in an Islamic seminary in Kozhikode. We immediately went to see her there. Her demeanor, appearance, way of talking, everything seemed so far from natural," said a heartbroken Karthikeyan.
"Let me, atleast now, realize God. I am prepared to even sacrifice my life for God," said Karthikeyan, repeating the very same words his daughter uttered before him, when he went to meet her. Karthikeyan said that his daughter's statements were mostly based on issues like the punishment that awaited one in the next world, following death. "A sinner would be roasted in fire in Hell," is what Nimmy told her father.
"The authorities there were trying to send us away using force. They did not let us spend some time with our daughter. I fear that she is under the influence of some dreadful narcotic," said Karthikeyan, who had also requested the court that his daughter be produced before a psychiatric counselor, which was unfortunately declined by the court.
Even as a child, when it came to studies, Nimmy has been a brilliant student. "She has been a voracious reader. However, we never checked the reading material she was going through. But following the news of her conversion, after we made a thorough check of her room, we discovered many journals and write ups from her room. They were highly inflammatory and extremeist by nature and were mostly 'anti-Christian, anti-Hindu' write ups," said Karthikeyan, her father.
"We suspect her friends at the Arabic classes at MSM College, Kayamkulam to have furnished her with these materials," he said. Nimmy's parents are clueless about the direction in which they must move henceforth, to get their daughter back. Her mother even remembers the instance where, in spite of there being a vacancy in St. Mary's School, Kayamkulam, Nimmy was least interested in joining as a teacher, inspite of her B Ed Degree.
Nimmy's parents believe that there are people who are involved in the hijack of their daughter from the High Court premises. "We are extremely sure that Nimmy is under the surveillance and custody of someone who is hiding behind the scene. This is what made Radhamani and me file for a Habeas Corpus, to take her with us. When we were about to take our daughter with us and as we were about to enter the car, the advocate representing the defendant barged onto the scene, punched me on my face. I fell down. They thus took away our daughter. I don't know why this was done. We are clueless about all these happenings. Things seem far from normal. There are so many unanswered questions too.Our suspicions regarding many things are now being confirmed too," said Kathikeyan.
"Recently, our home now receives threatening phone calls, saying that the entire family will be killed. We don't care. If death will bring back our daughter, we are prepared for that as well. Even we die, our daughter has to be rescued, said Karthikeyan, who feel that death is hounding them, every minute they step out of home. The driver, who drove the vehicle in which Nimmy was forcibly taken away by the Islamic seminary, is now under arrest.

My dear daughter
Religious leaders of the desert religions try to prevent Hindu religious educatio, as it is easier to convert religiously illiterate Hindus. They can also be fooled to claim after conversion that they are descendants of Namboodiris. Imitations can also be done without understanding the religious significance. Thus spurious Vedapustakam, vaidikan etc can be fabricated which are deceptively similar to Hinduism. Hindus have been slaves for centuries and ruled by foreigners. Even after so called independence, we continue to be ruled by foreigners and half foreigners. Foreign religions and foreign godmen continue to dupe gullible Hindus

Educate Hindus on Dharma!
The only solution to this problem, is to teach Hindus (present generation) the greatness of Hindu Dharma so that they would never ever fall into the trap of other religions! Also they should be told about the atrocities Hindus faced due to the cruel attacks on them by Muslims and Christians! If the true face of these religions are exposed to our children, no Hindu would dare to convert to those reliigons!

Religious Education
@ Sahya
Good observations !
But I have doubts : Why muslim girls and christian girls in Kerala are not "finding solace outside " ? Why there is no "distress in educated upwardly mobile young women" from islam and christianity ? What about rationality in Kuran and Bible ? What about practices in Kuran and Bible ? Are they scientific or rational ?
How other wives and their children feel when their father brings a new wife into the house ? (as approved by Kuran ). There is no distress ?
What the wives feel when they are beaten by husbands as approved by Kuran ? There is no solace outside?
How a christian girl ( educated upwardly mobile young women ) celebrate Easter ? Can any dead man come back ? How this belief is rational ? How a christian girl can believe that Jesus was born from God ? ( Not from Joseph) ? God has no other work ?
Sahya is not basically interested in religious education for Hindus. Because that will result in many changes in Kerala which will be unimaginable.
Let me repeat:
There is no substitute for a Hindu religious education . Religious education is a must for Hindu children. Our Children should know the Hindu History and Hindu Scriptures and they must also know the real cruel and inhuman face of Islam and Christianity.
Jai Bhavani !
Jai Hinduism !

some interospection required
One more addition here is that the Hindu society should Keep with time. Ideosyncrasies of the past such as 'Jataka dosham', endogamy is causing distress in educated upwardly mobile young women. Unlike their parent, today's girls have horizon of oppertunities open before them. Irespective of any theological education if a belief is not rational it will hardly find any takers in todays world.
There are ample families were girls are failing to get alliance due to astrological issues , in such a case there are chances that family find solace outside.Astrological practices being suggested cause loss of valuable resources such as time and money. We have to get rid of these sort of Ideosyncarsies or else our legacy and faith will end up as a page in history especialy in a socialy advanced state such as kerala

My dear daughter
"A sinner would be roasted in fire in hell", what are we human beings or cashew nuts to be roasted ? Such asinine theories are believed in only because we Hindus fail to teach the rudiments of our great religion to our children. As a result when they hear or read dreadful nonsense they are frightened and agitated. They think by converting into some crude desert religion their soul or whatever it is will be saved. Has anybody seen this hell or heaven ? NSS and SNDP should start religious education to prevent such fraudulent conversions. I think there might be a love jihad angle behind this.

The THREAT !!
As Shine states "This girl is no child.She is an adult post graduate.If she doen't need her parents let her go.No one can stop her. Later, I am sure she will regret.".. May it be clearly understood, This is NOT a case where she has taken this drastic step on her own free will. As the findings mentioned there were attempts since long to brainwash her with reading materials that were pro Islamic and the misbelefs of Islam that sinners would be baked in Hell.. These crap has been induced into her minds by dedicated teams who have been working hard in their goal. There sure is a considerable amount of Fault on the Parents side, in ignoring their children. This is mainly due to less interaction among family members.
Such attempts should be thwarted at all levels. Also all efforts should be taken by all to get the child back from the Clutches of Islam.
Secondly theres No reason to Wonder. The preference of choice in converting girls is more because, this will reduce the birth rate of Hindus by every female that is dragged away.
Its time Hindus wake up to the grave reality that our very existence is under threat.
Learn, know, Understand, educate, UNITE and then we can FIGHT together. Only then can we WIN !!
No Victory.. NO SURVIVAL

There should be website to record such cases
After a while, most people, except those closely associated with her, will forget about this incident. I think there should be an independent website in order to have a permanent record of such cases, including a detailed case study of each case for future guidance.

That girl is destined to go to hell. It's quite unfortunate what her family members have to go through because of her.
30/04/2012 03:14:07
if u don't need us......
This girl is no child.She is an adult post graduate.If she doen't need her parents let her go.No one can stop her. Later, I am sure she will regret.I don't think we should lower our selves to those muslims who are more than happy to kill their own daughters if they marry a non muslim.Honour killing they call it.Feel sorry for the parents.As parents we should all start to warn our children of this kind of dangers.We should educate our kids more about our faith as Gita said.And I wonder why they are so keen on converting girls not boys.
30/04/2012 00:41:53
Much needs to be done
As smt Gita correctly pointed out, this happens because Hindus do not care to impart religious education to kids. Love Jihad and other orchestrated efforts could be present in the society. But in this particular case it is not love jihad which snatched that girl from Hindu society but the fear about the hell and all other crap the desert religions sell in this land. The only solution is to educate our kids. Similar cases need to be studied well by VHP's help line and proper counter strategies developed. Atleast if Mr Karthikeyan had taken the help of one of the Hindu organizations while appearing in the court, at least his daughter would not have been taken away by force from the court premises. VHP helplines should contact the families of victims and bring them to forefront to enlighten other Hindus about this danger.
All lady leaders of this site, pls popularize this site among your lady friends. This will ensure that more Hindu ladies are aware of these social dangers. Pls take it as personal responsibility.
29/04/2012 23:43:17
Love Jihad
I feel sad, ashamed and provoked at the fate of Sri Karthikeyan family. But as reported
"She has been a voracious reader. However, we never checked the reading material she was going through. But following the news of her conversion, after we made a thorough check of her room, we discovered many journals and write ups from her room. They were highly inflammatory and extremeist by nature and were mostly 'anti-Christian, anti-Hindu' write ups," said Karthikeyan, her father.
THIS IS THE REAL PROBLEM . We should know this is the real problem.
There is no substitute than a Hindu religious education . Our Children should know the Hindu History and Hindu Scriptires and they must also know the real cruel and inhuman face of Islam anf Christianity.
Jai Bhavani !
Jai Hinduism !

Are we living in Pakistan?
These kinds of incidents are regular in Pakistan. But, such things happening in Kerala, is shocking!
Where are we living, in Pakistan, or 'secular' India?
What kind of religious compulsion has prevented the girl from meeting or talking even to her parents or brother? Do we need more such incidents to open the eyes of the society, to the 'freedom' prevalent in the 'religion of peace'?
There is no language in the world, even Greek, which has the clarity and the philosophical precision of Sanskrit, and this great India is not only at the origin of everything, She is superior in everything, intellectually, religiously or politically and even the Greek heritage seems pale in comparison.

Correct Vinyasa: It's Really, Really F*cking Hard. ~ David Robson
I've just recorded an MP3 of the Ashtanga Primary Series, set to the beat of a drum. The drum provides a measure for each breath: four seconds for the inhalation, four seconds for the exhalation.
I made this recording as an experiment. My teacher, Sharath Jois, says when we practice the breath, it should be even; inhalations and exhalations should be the same duration and intensity. In order to experience even breaths throughout the practice, I recorded Ashtanga's traditional vinyasa count along to the drum. And, finally, after practicing along with the recording, here's what I have learned: It's really, really fucking hard.
The drum revealed that I lengthen some breaths and shorten others, I take extra breaths getting in and out of poses, and the vinyasa count is, in parts, almost impossible to match. I can't do the whole Primary Series along the with the correct vinyasa count if the breaths are even. And I'm not referring to just the notoriously difficult poses and transitions, like Marichyasana D, or Supta Kurmasana; Utthita Hasta Padangustasana nearly killed me.
Does this mean that I'm doing the practice wrong?
I don't think it really makes a difference if I manage to bind Marichyasana D in one breath or not. On the days when I do get into the pose in one breath, I don't feel any more enlightened—skinnier maybe, but no wiser. In fact, more struggle often seems to create an opportunity for more mindfulness. My practice is just as often about the discrepancies in the vinyasa as much as it is the times I actually match the count. Both experiences are mired in citta, and can provide the same opportunities for observation and non-attachment.
However, while I don't have to be able to do floating jump backs, or get into Marichyasana D in one breath to gain the benefits of the practice, I do have to try as hard as I can—whether I can do it or not, the vinyasa count does matter. The count keeps me focused on the breath and in the present moment. And it is only by striving to match the vinyasa that the deep, internal heat of tapas, and its corresponding purification, will come.
In Ashtanga we work at our personal edge every day. That work is to balance sincere effort with ease and surrender. The vinyasa frames our experience during practice, limiting our focus to the prescribed breath and movement. But we also need to apply non-attachment, vairagya, to the experiences that practice yields.
I believe that the unattainable quality of the vinyasa count and the never-ending difficulty of the poses are designed to cultivate softness as much as strength. We need the ideal, the strong rules of the practice to direct and focus our energy. And we also need to accept the results of our efforts, whatever they are, with equanimity. When both sincere effort and non-attachment are present in our practice, correct vinyasa might just happen.

"In Ashtanga we work at our personal edge every day. That work is to balance sincere effort with ease and surrender."
I think the beauty of this idea captures very simply why it is that both Guruji and Sharath are famous for remarking that the only person who cannot take practice is a lazy one.

That's exactly it, Thaddeus. It took me a long time to understand "Only a lazy man cannot practice."
Awesome article. The Primary Series is so incredibly humbling. Any given practice features so many aspects I can't get to – but the thing I really appreciate about Ashtanga is that the ideal is presented and kept in mind. It's by no means demanded of the practitioner, but it's part of our awareness.
Thanks for commenting Andy. Yes, trying to maintain the ideal in the Sadhana, for 1.5 hours or so, is great Dharana, but we have to actively strive for it.
This is great. Thank you, Robson!
You are welcome, Ryan!
I once tried to set my practice to the beat of a metronome. And I'm glad to know that 1. I'm not the only insane person to have tried to math the inhale with the exhale, and 2. I'm not the only insane person to find that it was really fucking hard.
I think I went crazy after 1 Surya Namaskar A.
I laughed because I still often come to my mat with the attitude that if it took 1 person 3 years to 'master such and such,' it'll only take me a month….hah. All ego, but an ego I can definitely laugh at.
Yes, I agree that the whole metronome/breath really is taking an idea too far. But it is definitely interesting, and provides such a great screen against which we can watch the ego squirm.
[…] but it is, I suppose, worth noting when similar ideas bubble up in our virtually connected world. Link for those […]
Great article! It would be pure stumble hell to 'attempt' to hold Utthita Hasta Padangustasana for this amount of time. Kudos to you my friend for such an honest and wonderfully written piece…

I do not think this is taking an idea too far. In fact, I think that breath elongation and mastering is FAR more important that entering an asana in one single breath. Or staying there 5 breaths.
When I do the primary series (not often I admit) I also try and keep a 4 sec length for both inhale and exhale. It has an incredibly relaxing effect. The best of the best is to ensure you complete the breaths, in the sense of cherishing that little spontaneous hold that happens at the end of inhale and exhale, without hurrying to the next asana. It changes the practice completely. I am not necessarily talking about ashtanga vinyasa but any personal practice.
I could even recommend that you try and make your exhale slightly longer, and even that you try and increase the inhale and exhale length to 6 sec. This is apparently the best physiological breath ration (4-5 breaths/minute) to induce relaxation effects, although I admit it is pretty hard during such an intense practice as ashtanga. But for any other vinyasa, especially vinyasa krama, or viniyoga, just try! and you will see what I mean.
I just did your full primary MP3 and was very humbled by how much harder every single pose was with proper breath count (just when I was starting to actually enjoy navasana)! You managed to kick my ass all the way over here in Jerusalem. Thanks for your authenticity and intensity.
Awesome to know I can have an effect all the way over in Jerusalem! xo
thanks for sharing! its good to know that other people also do that as i felt like beeing a bit too perfectionstic using a metronom. i use a metronom that u can listen to online for free with one beat per second. i do 2 sec inhale and 2 sec exhale and in some difficult poses only one sec trying to lengthen the breath over time. and in the finishing poses i lengthen the breath more. i like the metronom because it brings me back to the present moment and deepens my concentration. it helps to make the inhalation as long as the exhalation which i find important too. trying to remain a steady cognitiv stream of accurate counting helps me to register when my thoughts go in other directions and realising when my breath becomes short helps to notice when i m too deep in a posture or just not relaxed anymore.

Thanks for this article! Why 4 seconds and not 3 or 5?
4 seconds was mostly an arbitrary choice. 3 sec felt too short, and 5 felt too long. Duration and intensity of breath are probably determined by lung size and depth of practice, i.e. unique for every practitioner.

It was great to find this article as I searched for some clarity on the tempo of the vinyasa count. I've seen so many different paces of practice…it seems to fluctuate with the instructor's own personal "tempo". I like the four count per breath…it jibes with me as a musician. I recently have started introducing this "matched breathing" in my led classes during the first sun salutations. I don't want to torture my students with my own obsessiveness, but I do feel that it's an important and worthy exercise to illuminate our own habitual shortening or lengthening of certain vinyasa.
David , i found this article really really interesting and very much into my own thoughts about the breathing and the practice. Lately i came to the same conclusion that i don't have the same counting in my vinyasas and i tried for couple of practices to go into a counting of 8, of course no need to say that took me 2 hours without the finishing to do the primaries…but what i noticed it was that my practice was softer and more liberated. the drum rhythm with the count of 4 seems also challenging and a great idea! I was very inspired from this experiment and i think is a great way to drive your attention right to the core of the practice!!
All the very best
Aum Shanti
8 seconds per breath? Ugh. That would be tough. Definitely straight to the core!:)

I admire Ashtanga Yogis. I admire them for their unparalleled dedication and relentless pursuit of the extreme yoga asanas.
Ashtanga was my first yoga, and I became certified as an Ashtanga instructor. I am a student of the Yoga Sutra of Patanjali and practice the eight limbs of yoga called "Ashtanga". However; the term was co-opted by Pattabi Jois and made synonymous with the set of sequences which he defined, thanks to various texts such as the yoga korunta and yoga pradipika.
We find in LA studios this myth that there is a "correct way" to do a "Vinyasa". Actually vinyasa is a sanskrit term that means the stringing of sequences of poses together with the breath. But "Vinyasa" has been used most often to the sequence of chatturanga, udrva mukha svanasana, and adho mukha svanasana. There has come this politically correct method of this sequences of poses with the knees off of the floor, the plank only descending until the arms are at 90 degrees with the elbows inward, etc. Whatever. Plop on the deck if you need. Try to keep your elbows in. Don't worry about your knees. Let your body find its form in time. Rather concentrate on the entire body and the breath, and the fluid motion of the poses like a creature of the sea or something. I believe that is most important.
Realize that there are differing opinions on the "correct" up dog as well. Ashtanga teaches that the drishti is into the navel, while more common schools seem more concerned with achieving this perfect alignement and lengthened form. And that reminds me of why I love Ashtanga – because I learned that the five uindamentals of Asana are Mudhra, Drishti, Bandhas, Pranayama, and Vinyasa.

Dear everyone,
On of the things I love to do when a book has really effected me is, write to the author and let them know. I wrote a letter to Susan Herrera, author of Mango Elephants In the Sun, a book I reviewed in this blog. She wrote back:
Dear Angel,
Thank you sooooooo very much for your e-mail. I really needed to hear that!!! I am just finishing up the next book and sometimes doubt my abilities as a writer. I will keep these words and look at them when I feel stuck and unable to get to the next place in the writing.
AIDS wasn't a big issue where I was – at least I was totally unaware of it with my own eyes. Doc talked about two patients who had AIDS but they were from the Southern part of the country.
I hope you enjoyed your Americorps experience. Maybe you will write about it someday.
Thank you for the postings on the website. It is so thoughtful and supportive. Please look for Laughing Girl Howling Woman to come out in 2006.
(Isn't that awesome? Always remember, if you love someone's work, give them the compliement! And that's one to grow on!
With love, from Angel)
I read The Burn Journals after my best friend told me I needed to read it. Her and I have our own sort of private book club going... we're always swapping books. Anyway, The Burn Journals is a true story, and it begins as a 14-year-old boy, feeling upset with the world and at himself and worried about getting in trouble for a minor crime he has recently committed, decides to kill himself. He has attempted suicide before, but obviously all of his attempts resulted in him sheepishly waking up the next day feeling alright. The boy decides he needs a foolproof way to kill himself, and decides that the best way to do this would be to douse himself in gasoline and set himself on fire.
This action changes the boy's life forever. Just barely surviving the fire, Brent is forced to face up to what he has done and why. At the same time as he is undergoing a painful physical recovery, he is also undergoing the pain of realizing what his family is going through, and figuring out what life means to him. The Burn Journals follows Brent as he heals, both physically and emotionally.
One of the things that The Burn Journals made me think about is the fact that people take each other for granted, and even hurt the people they love. Yet when that person is taken away from them... or nearly taken away, for that matter... the people around him will realize how much they loved that person, and never be able to take him for granted again. Who hasn't gone through a time in their life when, after a fight with parents, siblings, friends, spouse, or children, they found themself thinking, "What if I get killed in a car accident tonight? Then they'll feel bad! Then they'll wish they had been nicer to me!" It sounds like the self-indulgent thoughts of an angry adolescent... but in reality, those words are very true. Often, you have to lose something, or face losing it, to find out how much you want it in the first place.
The Burn Journals will give you a new perspective on your life and your loved ones. Everyone, in every walk of life, should read this book.
With love,
From Angel
Mango Elephants In the Sun is about a young woman who, in order to escape memories of a dysfunctional childhood and an abusive husband, joins Peace Corps. She is sent to a small village in Africa, where she will work as a high school teacher. The story follows Susana's initial culture shock, as she struggles to get used to having to draw her own water from a well, kill her own animals for food, and deal with a lack of things people in the United States take for granted such as grocery stores, cars, movies, etc. She also gets some hard lessons about how some cultures view females; when one of her female students becomes very ill, the students' family refuses to spend the time and money to take the girl to the doctor, because she is, after all, only a girl. Another female student is determined to learn how to ride a bike, but must leanr in secret because in their culture women are not allowed to ride bikes. But however harsh life is in Africa, the people of the village do offer some very true commentary about life in the United States. In one chapter, Susana is explaining to some newfound African friends about how, in the United States, a person can put their dirty dishes into a machine and have them washed just by pressing a button... and how one can buy their meat already killed and pleaned, on a styrafoam plate. (One person inquires, confused, "And do they eat the styrafoam too>?") When the Africans muse that all people in the United States must be very rich, Susana tries to explain the homelessness and poverty that exists in the United States. The Africans are bewildered by this new idea of the United States. They tell Susana, "Maybe your country should not worry about having their dinners prepared for them, and their idshes washed for them, until everyone in the country has a home." Mango Elephants In the Sun gave me a new appreciation for the things I do have, and Made it hard for me to complain about the small things I don't have. However, after reading the book, one thing I was envious of was of the strong communities in the villages in Africa. There are lots of problems in Africa... yet in Susana's village, everyone stuck together and helped one another. When one woman in the village had a little son die, the entire village came together to cry with the woman in a sort of ceremony. The saying "It takes a village" comes from Africa, and it seems that in Africa it really does ring true. With love, from Angel
Dear everyone, I have been reading this book by Julia Butterfly Hill, and it is a true story of a girl who lived in a huge Redwood tree for two years. It actually happened very close to where my little brother lives in Eureka, California. You see the redwoods are these huge, ancient trees that seem to reach up to the sky, and some of them are so thick that you can drive through them. When they get struck by lightening their insides get hollowed out, but they continue to live. I have pictures of myself and my brother inside redwood trees. Anyway the Pacific Lumber Corporation takes advantage of these redwood trees by chopping them down in mass quantities. Not only does that destroy trees that have been on Earth since beofre Jesus or anyone, but they also destroy homes of many endangered species. Plus. since the trees hold the dirt down , there was a neighborhood that got completely wiped out by a mudslide because a hill had been so wiped clean of treas that there was nothing to keep the mud grounded. Anyway there was this protest going on and people built a fort up in one of the tallest Redwood trees, which they named Luna. Mostly people were taking turns staying in the tree, so that there would always be someone in the tree. The idea was to keep the lumberjacks from chopping down the tree, and meanwhile other activists would be trying to put pressure on politicians to keep the tree and surrounding trees from being cut down at all. There was this girl Julia who volunteered to go up in the treewith some other people... but after other people lost interest or gave up, Julia stayed. Everyone had nature names that they used in public, sort of like street names to prevent them from being arrested and stuff. So her name was Butterfly. And she stayed up in the tree for two years, never ever getting down. At one point she really didn't even have anything to eat, because the lumberjacks decided to try to starve her out of the tree so they wouldn't let anyone bring her supplies. But once more people knew about her, people she didn't even know were always bringing her stuff. When I was in California I heard stories of Julia Butterfly and she is sort of like a legend. I have not finished the book yet. In real life I heard that the tree eventually got cut down, but I also heard from other people that the tree is still standing. So I can't wait to finish the book and find out why she eventually came out of the tree, and whether the tree is still standing. It is another one of those "Life-changing" books that makes me want to take a second look at everything I do. It makes me want to start recycling, start eating natural foods (as I was reading the book last night at school I was eating a big french toast, egg and sausage sandwich from the satellite cafe, and it was already sort of disgusting... I had thought it looked so good in the oven thing but really it was cold and soggy and greasy and nasty... and as I read the book and chewed my grease sandwich I felt like puking. it back up and getting my money back.) I am going to finish the book and then I am going to write a letter to Julia Butterfly and maybe I will send her a picture of me inside a tree in California.
With love, from Angel

A. Jinnah; Theodore Friedmann DOI: 10.1036/ommbid.135 Abstract Inherited deficiency of the purine salvage enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) causes three overlapping clinical syndromes, depending on the amount of residual enzyme activity. Patients with at least 8 percent of residual enzyme activity demonstrate marked overproduction of uric acid, with associated hyperuricemia, nephrolithiasis, and gout. Patients with 1.5 to 8 percent of residual activity demonstrate uric acid overproduction with neurologic disability that varies from minor clumsiness to debilitating extrapyramidal and pyramidal motor dysfunction. Patients with less than 1.5 percent of residual activity demonstrate overproduction of uric acid, debilitating neurologic disability, varying degrees of cognitive disability, and behavioral abnormalities that include impulsive and self-injurious behaviors. This latter and most severe form of the disease is known as Lesch-Nyhan disease (LND).HPRT deficiency is inherited as an X-linked recessive condition, and the HPRT gene has been mapped to Xq26-q27. The entire HPRT gene has been cloned and sequenced and more than 200 mutations responsible for disease have been characterized. These advances at the molecular genetic level have allowed for the development of rapid and convenient methods for diagnosis, carrier identification, and prenatal testing.The metabolic basis for the overproduction of uric acid in HPRT deficiency has been determined to result from changes in the regulation of purine synthesis and degradation. The overproduction of uric acid can be blocked by the administration of allopurinol, providing an effective means to reduce the risk of nephrolithiasis and gout in affected patients. Unfortunately, allopurinol has no efficacy against the neurobehavioral features.The pathogenesis of the neurologic and behavioral features remains incompletely understood, although growing evidence suggests that these features result from dysfunction of the dopamine transmitter systems of the basal ganglia. Treatments for the neurobehavioral features are limited to protective physical devices and behavior therapy.Current research efforts are focused on prevention, elucidating the basis for the central nervous system dysfunction, and developing more effective treatment strategies for the neurobehavioral features.

Bowling Green, Ky. - The Western Kentucky University softball team will welcome six new members to the 2010 team, head coach Tyra Perry announced today. Karavin Dew, Ciara Garcia, Katrina Metoyer, Mallorie Sulaski, Shelby Taylor and Kimberly Wagner will head to the Hill and become the newest members of the Lady Topper squad.
Dew, a Calhoun, Ga., native, will graduate from Calhoun High School in
2009. The two-time All-State selection was named to the All-Area team
three times, the 2005 All-Region team and was the 2005 Co-Rookie of the Year. In addition, Dew was named to the 2006 Chattanooga Times Free Press All-North Georgia Team and received the 2006 Coaches Award. In 2007, she received the defense award and was named the All-Area Co-Player of the Year.
On the ASA travel ball team, the Alanta Vipers, Dew was honored by
being selected as the recepient of the Stepanie Phillips award for
Leadership skills and was a vital part of the ASA team that finished as
the 2004 National Runner-Up and State Runner-Up and also claimed state championships in 2006 and 2007. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, Dew also competed in nationals. Dew was also a part of the very successful ISA travel team that claimed fifth place in the world championships and were the 2005 State runner-up.
"Karavin is a very talented player that will bring a great mix of quickness and power to our program," Perry said. "She is a person of
character and is a natural leader. We expect great things from Karavin
as a Hilltopper."
"It really is a dream come true for me to attend WKU because I have
always wanted to play softball at the collegiate level," Dew said. "It
is really hard to put into words how excited I am to be a part of the
Western Kentucky University softball program. My decision to come to
WKU, was in large part due to Coach Perry, and I made my decision after meeting and talking to her about the program and academics."
Garcia, from Harvest, Ala., is a two-time Super Softball All-Metro Team
selection and a member of the 2008 North vs. South All-star team. A
member of the Alabama Crusader travel team, Garcia was selected to the 2007 All-State Tournament Team and was a member of the Sparkman High School team that claimed the 2007 and 2008 6A Area Championship, the 2006 Alabama State Championship, the 2007 Alabama Runner-Up title and were the 2006 Regional Champions.
"Ciara is one of the most disciplined players I have ever seen," Perry
stated. "She puts everything she has into helping her team win. She
can play firstbase and also play in the outfield. She is a natural
lefty that swings right."
"It has always been a dream of mine to play college softball," Garcia
said. "When I first met Coach Perry I never knew she would be my head coach someday; but here we are and I'm thrilled to have her as my coach. I haven't learned many of her coaching ideas yet, but the ones I have learned, I completely agree with. I know she will push me to a higher level and I am very excited to play on her team and be coached by her and Coach Bynum and Coach Jenkins."
Metoyer attended Los Alamitos High School in Los Alamitos, Calif. Her
travel team, the OC Batbusters, has won nine ASA 18 and under National Championships since 1983 and she finished her junior season with the second most steals in the league. Additionally, Metyoer received honorable mention as a Sunset league player after both her sophomore and junior seasons and was on a Batbusters' team that finished second in the 18 and under Nationals her first year.
"Katrina was a key player for her high school program and the 18U
Batbusters travel team," Perry said. "She has "big game" experience and will bring much needed speed to our line-up."
"I couldn't be more excited to join WKU softball next fall," Metoyer
said. "I've always wanted to play college softball but I didn't know
where. After discovering Western Kentucky University, I knew it was
the perfect fit for me. I know Coach Perry, Coach Jenkins and Coach
Bynum will work me and push me to be a better athlete. The campus is
also beautfiful and the people are incredibly nice. I'm looking
forward to being a Lady Topper."
Sulaski, from Lakewood, Colo., was a four-year starter at Bear Creek
High School. The four-time All-Conference selection was named All-
State her junior and senior years and is a two-time All-Colorado
honoree. A four-time scholar-athlete award winner, Sulaski helped
guide the Bears to three conference championships, a third-place state
finish and a state runner-up finish in 2007. The captain of the team
her junior and senior years, Sulaski was named MVP both of those
seasons while maintaining at least a 3.6 GPA.
"I am very excited to welcome Mallorie into the WKU Softball family,"
Perry stated. "She is a lefty pitcher that also hits and can play first base. She is naturally poised and a leader by example."
Sulaski's travel team, the Colorado Quicksilver has won many local
tournaments, including a state championship, while also placing 12th in
the ASA Nationals.
"I'm so excited that I will be attending Western Kentucky University
and play for Coach Perry," Sulaski said. "I feel like it's a fine school with genuine people and a great atmosphere. I look forward to working hard and becoming a part of such a talented team."
Taylor, a native of Louisville, Ky., will join the Lady Toppers after
graduating from Eastern High School. As a member of the Eagles' team, Taylor picked up three honors in 2008 including being named to the All-Region team, the 28th District All Tournament team and was selected as a member of the West Junior All-Star team that competed in the East vs. West All-Star game. In 2008, she led the team in batting average posting a .459 average.
"Shelby Taylor is an all-around athlete," Perry said. "She has unlimited potential in the outfield and at the plate. Shelby is also an outstanding student and I am happy she has chosen to join our program."
Finally, Wagner, a D'Iberville High School product, is a six-time All-
District honoree that was named the team MVP two times and picked up the coveted For the Love of the Game award. She also was named to the All-South Mississippi Sun Herald team for two years and was selected as a second team All-State selection by the Clarion Ledger for two seasons. She also received the best defensive player award while at D'Iberville and competed on the travel team, the Louisiana Voodoo.
"Kimberly is a finesse pitcher that can move the ball and change speeds on a dime," Perry said. "She also swings a solid stick and can play in the outfield. Kimberly is a hard worker and she has what it takes to be a key player on the Hill."
"People keep asking me why I chose to attend WKU and the answer is
because WKU is an amazing place," Wagner said. "The campus is beautiful and everyone is so welcoming. My coaches are great people and I am excited to learn, not only softball from the, but also the things that I will face in life. I believe that my time at WKU will be a most wonderful experience and I am truly looking forward to it."
The 2009 WKU softball season kicks off on Saturday, Feb. 7 when the
Lady Toppers travel to Hattiesburg, Miss. to take part in the Southern

State and city officials arent sure whats causing the northbound lane of Washington Street, near the Sisters of St. Joseph, to be flooded.
City Department of Public Works crews put up barricades on the east side of the road several weeks ago because of the flooding problems, which are being attributed to underground springs.
Catch basins were working, but something has changed, state Department of Transportation and city of Watertown officials said.
The spot where its happening is on a downgrade, said Michael R. Flick, public information officer for DOT Region 7.
Its percolating out, Mr. Flick said. It finds it way out into the street.
With the temperatures dipping well below freezing most of the winter, ice has built up there.
City water Superintendent Michael J. Sligar said the abundance of development in recent years on the nearby rocky hill could be the cause. But maybe not, he said.
Artesian wells also could be the culprit, according to Mr. Sligar.
Natural pressure causes groundwater to the surface.
He recalled that the state upgraded the four-lane highway years ago.
He wondered whether that may be playing a role in the flooding.
Mr. Flick said he would like to know whats causing it.
Its something we could look into, he said.
It may very well be that a cause cannot be determined, they said.
