Acharya back at SBI as management audit head
Mar 06 2014 , Mumbai
Acharya, who headed the mid-corporate group as deputy managing director, was forced to go on leave in November after the CBI case charged him with taking pecuniary benefits to clear a loan. However, he was given a clean chit in an internal probe by the bank.
"He has rejoined as the DMD at the inspection and management audit department, which is based in Hyderabad," a bank official said today.
Acharya could not immediately be reached for his comments.
The job involves a lot of travel as it requires overseeing compliance at local head offices and zonal offices. It was, however, not clear as to where Acharya, who retires later this year, will be based.
Acharya was alleged to have facilitated the sanction of a loan against favours following a CBI raid at his place following a tip-off.
On November 24, the Economic Offences wing of the CBI had registered a case against Acharya, ex-SBI official KK Kumarah and chairman of Delhi-based firm Worlds Window Piyoosh Goyal for alleged graft in disbursals of a Rs 400 crore loan, after raiding Acharya's house in the city.
Acharya was alleged to have asked for Rs 15 lakh to clear the loan proposal and, according to the CBI, he was given a couple of luxury watches as the first instalment.
Apart from that, it was reported that several assets which may be disproportionate to his income such as fixed deposits and a large quantity of gold, were found at Acharya's home.

PFLAG Helps Straight Allies Come Outwith the Launch of Straight for Equality
Dear Abby and Cyndi Lauper to Help Kick-Off Nationwide Multiyear Outreach
Washington, DC – Just saying that you have a gay friend isn't good enough anymore, according to Parents, Families and Friends of Lesbians and Gays (PFLAG). Today the organization is launching a new national, multi-year project to help people do something about it.
Straight for Equality aims to help a new group of allies – not the family members that PFLAG is known for working with – start coming out as supportive of their gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender friends and acquaintances. The project accomplishes this with a new approach to the topic as well as a sense of humor.
"PFLAG has a 35-year history of helping people come out, whether they're gay or the family member of someone else who is," said John Cepek, PFLAG's National President. "And now we're taking what we've learned about coming out to a new audience. We're talking to people who don't have a family connection, but who just want to help out because it is the right thing to do."
Last month, PFLAG launched the website for Straight for Equality at www.straightforequality.org. In that time, more than 1,000 people have visited the site to sign the Straight for Equality Pledge which asks allies to "come out, speak up, and join in" the effort to create change. On Thursday morning, multiple-award-winning musician Cyndi Lauper will join PFLAG in Washington to promote the project and sign the Straight for Equality Pledge.
"Our point is that there are lots of ways to be an ally. You don't have to agree on all of the issues – all you need is a desire to want to speak up and learn more," said Jody M. Huckaby, PFLAG's National Executive Director. "We want to meet people where they are and help them learn more. This is about starting conversations, not having confrontations."
According to a poll commissioned last month, America is ready for the program. When people were asked about the level of support for gay people in this country, 56% of respondents said that people should be more supportive of gay individuals. That number shot up to 60% in the 18-44 age range, proving that younger audiences are becoming progressively more accepting.
More importantly, 7 of 10 Americans who say they've spoken up when faced with an anti-gay comment or joke. And a surprising 18% of straight allies who have spoken up did so because of their religious or moral beliefs.
The message of straight allies speaking out has become even more mainstream with the news that PFLAG's first-ever Straight for Equality Award winner, Dear Abby, supports marriage equality for gay people.
"I hate discrimination. In my column and in my daily life, I have always promoted fairness for all people, and I admire the work that PFLAG does for the friends and families of gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender individuals," said Dear Abby. "That's why I'm pleased to help launch Straight for Equality, an important effort to bring even more fair-minded voices to the forefront in supporting a safe and welcoming society for all. And that is why I am honored to accept the first Straight for Equality award."
"When Dear Abby puts her opinion out there, people listen. As one of the world's foremost straight allies, her voice on fairness and inclusion is powerful," said Huckaby. "We're thrilled to be honoring her with our first Straight for Equality Award to recognize the tremendous work she's done to move the conversation about equality forward."
Full Harris Poll results from PFLAG's poll on straight allies in America is available at:http://community.pflag.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?&pid=641&srcid=194
Download the first Straight for Equality publication, the guide to being an ally: http://community.pflag.org/NETCOMMUNITY/Page.aspx?&pid=642&srcid=642
Dear Abby will receive the first Straight for Equality Award on Saturday, October 13, at a program starting at 8:00 pm the PFLAG National Convention in McLean, VA. Press registration is available on site.
Interviews with PFLAG representatives and Straight for Equality honoree Dear Abby are available. Please contact PFLAG to make arrangements.

Democrat Dennis Kucinich responded angrily Friday to a conversation overheard between Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards, in which...
NEW YORK — Democrat Dennis Kucinich responded angrily Friday to a conversation overheard between Hillary Rodham Clinton and John Edwards, in which the two spoke of limiting the number of candidates invited to participate in presidential forums.
"Candidates, no matter how important or influential they perceive themselves to be, do not have and should not have the power to determine who is allowed to speak to the American public and who is not," Kucinich said in a statement released by his campaign.
Asked about Kucinich's complaint during a campaign stop in Iowa, Edwards insisted that what he said to Clinton had been misinterpreted.
Edwards said he wasn't in favor of barring any of the eight Democrats from future gatherings, but rather wanted to see them separated into two groups of four each, chosen randomly.
- Students seeking sugar daddies for tuition, rent
- Seattle-based seafood company shuts down
- What's the top spelling 'mistake' in Washington state? The answer could make you sick
- UW receiver Isaiah Renfro opens up about depression, announces he's leaving team
- Dead whale found on bow of cruise ship in Alaska

"The result would be that we would have a much more serious discussion and people would actually be able to see what the differences are between us," he said.
The Edwards-Clinton exchange was picked up by several broadcasters on an open microphone after an NAACP forum in Detroit on Thursday. All the Democratic contenders took part in the program, including Barack Obama, Bill Richardson, Chris Dodd, Joe Biden, Mike Gravel and Kucinich.
As the candidates exchanged greetings when the forum ended, Edwards was heard telling Clinton that by fall, "We should try to have a more serious and a smaller group."
Clinton agreed, saying the forums were "trivialized" with too many candidates crowding the stage.
Kucinich, who typically polls in the low single digits, clearly felt the slight was directed at him.
"Imperial candidates are as repugnant to the American people and to our democracy as an imperial president," Kucinich said, adding that his campaign would take steps to stop any effort to limit participation in the forums.

Fall Into Ten Thousand Villages – Autumn Home Decor
Allow wilderness to cross the threshold – Haven fall collection – Autumn home decor
Late summer light turns golden, shadows grow long and we prepare spaces of refuge and rest for autumn, a time of coming home and turning in. This collection carries the wilderness across the threshold, creating a homey haven full of natural features. Forms of flora and fauna are recalled in tokens of the wild, cast in woodland colors, like blazing orange, earthy mushroom and hushed charcoal.
Smooth, hard surfaces of wood, horn and stone settle into soft, nubby fabric textures. With rough edges and irregular shapes, they are imperfect but unspoiled. Blankets woven in chevron, ikat and ethnic patterns are cherished emblems of tradition and protection. The autumn home becomes a sanctuary of survival and preservation.
However you choose to spend this autumn season, build yourself a haven from the wintry chills ahead with some of these gems:
Oak Leaf Bowl – Oak leaves hammered from copper and iron extend outward for a forest-like form. This bowl captures the luminescence of an autumn sunset shining through leaves turned golden.
Spice Kitchen Shakers – Spice up your meals in warm autumn colors with these striped, turned wood salt and pepper shakers. Perfect for a harvest table setting, red, orange, yellow and green are reminiscent of the changing leaves on the other side of your windowpane.
Citronella Incense Holder – Terracotta acts as a sturdy enclosure for smoldering scent. The wisps of smoke will curl unfurling from the cutaway design to create hypnotic movement and a scent sure to soothe. Incense is an easy way to create an ambient atmosphere.
Nakshi Kantha Pillow – Stitched by women in the traditional Nakshi Kantha fashion, pillows from Bangladesh tell a story with every thread. Lounge and lean, stay inside and unwind with a cup of tea and your favorite book.
Meadow Morning Nesting Tables – Liven up the colors and textures of your room with wooden Nesting Tables. What more appropriate furniture for the season of nesting and nestling in?
La Sierra Throw – As blustery days blow swiftly your way, wrap up and stay warm in a cozy chenille throw blanket. Lovingly hand-woven by artisans in Ecuador.
Indian Summer Garland – Delicate adornment, dyed in shades soft as an Indian summer. Make summer's beauty stretch across the seasons with a garland of hand-woven palm leaf flowers.
Leaf Fall Harvest Basket – Baskets spiraling in shades of browns, reds, oranges and rust can be used to contain a natural centerpiece of vibrant leaves and pine cones. Bring nature inside to create your own decor, encapsulated in hand-woven kaisa and jute.
Check out the rest of our home decor Haven collection online and at your local Ten Thousand Villages store.

Bo Thiesson and Jesper Lind
July 2006
We present a prototype that we have developed for analyzing so-called stochastic ARMA models in SQL Server 2005, Analysis Services. The class of stochastic ARMA models extends the classic ARMA time-series models by replacing (or smoothing) the deterministic relationship between target and regressors in these models with a conditional Gaussian distribution having a small controllable variance. As this variance approaches zero, a stochastic ARMA model approaches a classic ARMA model. We represent a stochastic ARMA model as a directed graphical model. In doing so, we benefit from the ability to apply standard graphical-model-inference algorithms during parameter estimation (including estimation in the presence of time series with incomplete data), model selection, and prediction. The graphical model representation also offers a visual representation that is easy to interpretate. We demonstrate how the graphical representation in this way lends itself as a conceptually easy way of extending the models to handling cross predicting time series, periodicity, and trends.

Preckwinkle Speaks at Equal Pay Day Rally
On April 17, 2012, over 200 people gathered at Daley Plaza to commemorate Equal Pay Day. The Department of Human Rights and Women's Issues collaborated with twenty-seven federal, state, local and non-profit agencies to sponsor the 2nd Annual Chicago Equal Pay Day Rally.
Equal Pay Day, April 17th of this year, represents the day when a woman's wage finally catches up to a man's wage for equal work from December 31st of the previous year. 108 days later!
President Preckwinkle addressed the crowd regarding wage discrimination and praising the women who came before us who have persistently fought for equal pay for equal work. Especially, Lily Ledbetter, a manager at Goodyear Tire and Rubber, who tirelessly campaigned for equal pay after she learned that she was paid less than her male counterparts. Lily's crusade led to President Obama signing into law the 2009 Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.
Clerk of the Circuit Court Dorothy Brown praised the advancements and progress that have been made by women, but stated that although "equal pay is the law, and has been so since 1963," we are not quite there yet. Clerk Brown stated that women will not receive equal pay until women elect themselves to office and pass and enforce the laws mandating equal pay.
April Williams, Community Relations Coordinator for the Department of Human Rights and Women's Issues, acknowledged President Preckwinkle, Governor Quinn, and Mayor Emanuel's proclamations proclaiming April 17, 2012, as Equal Pay Day, in the State of Illinois, in the County of Cook, and in the City of Chicago, all in honor of the value of women's skills and contributions to the workplace.

WASHINGTON lawmakers are legitimately concerned that higher education's ability to charge more for certain degrees will raise the state's obligation to families who prepaid college costs.
But permanently repealing the 2011 law that gave colleges and universities the flexibility, as a few legislators have proposed, would be the wrong move.
Repealing differential tuition to avoid a shortfall in the Guaranteed Education Tuition program is the tail wagging the dog. GET should not dictate tuition policy. The college-saving program is about $600 million underfunded.
That's a problem, but one that affords enough time to fashion long-term policy solutions. It is unlikely every GET account holder would turn to the state to cash in their units today.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Designed in Seattle, this $1 cup could save millions of babies
- Infections are the culprit in Alzheimer's disease, Harvard study suggests
- 1,000 fraternity, sorority members trash Lake Shasta campsite

Differential tuition ought to be here to stay. In higher education, less-expensive programs, such as philosophy, subsidize more-expensive majors such as engineering. If schools could charge higher tuition for high-demand, high-wage fields, they could rely less on subsidies.
Before the law could be implemented, the Legislature suspended differential tuition last session until lawmakers could better understand the impact on the college-savings program.
Under GET, the state per-unit payout is pegged to the highest tuition level — typically at the University of Washington.
As higher education seeks more innovative and creative ways to respond to budget challenges, shifting from a one-size-fits-all tuition model is key. Setting the cost of an education closer to the actual price makes sense.
Rather than being a disincentive to college students, charging engineering or health-sciences majors more would mean money to expand slots in those programs. More financial-aid money could help low-income students.
Possible solutions include exempting the UW and Washington State University from differential-tuition policy for the time being.
The state's comprehensive public universities and community colleges all have tuition rates low enough to avoid problems with GET. Lawmakers would need to recognize that if the UW and WSU were prevented from setting higher tuition rates, the needed funds would have to come from the state.
Another idea is to keep the flexibility for every public institution but suspend it for another two years and keep plugging away on a solution to GET. That's probably the best route. Repealing the law would be premature.

Loaded Lux is set to face-off against Hollow Da Don at the February 2014 UW Battle League event.
After announcing the battle, Loaded Lux spoke with HipHopDX about the challenge.
"I didn't select this opponent," Loaded Lux said in an exclusive statement to HipHopDX. "The fans did. I'm like a hired mercenary. They point them out. I lay them down. I'm surgical with this. I come in and get the job done, go back to what I was doing. The fans just want to see how I'm gonna do it."
Loaded Lux Compares Himself To Floyd Mayweather
Loaded Lux said fans can anticipate the best from him.
"I expect the best performance of my life, and as a result, I expect to shine an even brighter light on the culture," Lux said. "I expect that the perception of battle rappers will change and they can start getting paid their worth. I expect that people will have a greater respect for the art.
"I expect to be the Floyd Mayweather of the culture by bringing money to the game," Lux continued. "As Shaq would say, 'Everybody eats.' If you don't think big, you'll stay small. I expect to go down in Battle Rap history as the godfather of the culture. They say styles make fights. If true, then I expect that this will be the biggest and most entertaining battle in history."
Loaded Lux Says He Is Not A Battle Rapper
Loaded Lux says he is at an important stage in his career, one where he can be more selective of his opponents.
"At this stage of my career, I don't think I need to battle everybody to be relevant," Lux said. "I'm not a battle rapper. I'm a rapper that battles. I'm doing both, making music and battling.
"I have my new mixtape out, You Gon' Get This Work, hosted by Shaq and I'm working on a new project with !llmind, Justice League and my brother AHK 2G's," Lux continued. "A lot of the new fans don't know my resume. They gon' learn today."
Loaded Lux Says He May Retire After Battling Hollow Da Don
Lux's February 2014 battle may be his last, he said.
"In all honesty, this will probably be my last battle," Lux said. "So I'm not looking for a new home, so to speak. I've known [UW Battle League head] Arsonal for some time now. He started on [Loaded Lux's Battle Rap league] Lionz Den. I like what he's doing. Most important, he's showing growth and taking a business approach to his career. His management team approached my management team and they hammered out a deal, real business and professional."
Loaded Lux's most recent battle took place against Calicoe at SMACK/URL's Summer Madness 2 event in 2012. Hollow Da Don's most recent battle was against Tsu Surf at SMACK/URL's Night Of Main Events 3.

For Valentine's Day nails, I immediately gravitate towards red. I've seen some tutorials for making your own nail stickers using nail polishes and stamping tool, so I decided to give that a try (on a rather small scale) for this manicure. I like the contrast between the glittery background and the creamy red hearts... looks rather like the packaging on a nice big box of chocolates!
For this design, I used:
Revlon Colorstay Basecoat
Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Rapid Red
China Glaze Ring in the Red
Essence Stamping Plate
Essence Stamp Me! White
NYC Grand Central Station topcoat

This is a statement of fact.
The British Government is planning to allow the police and intelligence service to monitor every phone call, every e-mail and every web site that you, yes YOU, visit.
OK, now hands up anyone still deluded enough to believe that the balance of power between the individual and the state is not being deliberately changed on the pretext of the "War on Terror". Or that the state machinery of the UK is not lurching towards a replica of East Germany.
Or perhaps you think that this legislation will only be used to monitor the bogey men in beards and pyjamas. Or that you have nothing to fear if you do nothing wrong. Wake up guys before it is too late.

Album Review
Criminal Minded
is widely considered the foundation of hardcore rap, announcing its intentions with a cover photo of
Scott La Rock
(on his only album with
Boogie Down Productions
) posing with weapons -- an unheard-of gesture in 1987.
weren't the first to rap about inner-city violence and drugs, and there's no explicit mention of gangs on
Criminal Minded
, but it greatly expanded the range of subject matter that could be put on a rap record, and its grittiest moments are still unsettling today. Actually, that part of its reputation rests on just a handful of songs. Overall, the record made its impact through sheer force -- not only
's unvarnished depictions of his harsh urban environment, but also his booming delivery and
La Rock
's lean, hard backing tracks (which sound a little skeletal today, but were excellent for the time). It's important to note that
hadn't yet adopted his role as the Teacher, and while there are a few hints of an emerging social consciousness,
Criminal Minded
doesn't try to deliver messages, make judgments, or offer solutions. That's clear on "South Bronx" and "The Bridge Is Over," two of the most cutting -- even threatening -- dis records of the '80s, which were products of a beef with Queens-based
MC Shan
. They set the tone for the album, which reaches its apex on the influential, oft-sampled "9mm Goes Bang." It's startlingly violent, even if
's gunplay is all in self-defense, and it's made all the more unsettling by his singsong ragga delivery. Another seminal hardcore moment is "Remix for P Is Free," which details an encounter with a crack whore for perhaps the first time on record. Elsewhere, there are a few showcases for
's pure rhyming skill, most notably "Poetry" and the title track. Overall it's very consistent, so even if the meat of
Criminal Minded
is the material that lives up to the title, the raw talent on display is what cements the album's status as an all-time classic.

We camped at Archusa on October 2-5, 2013. This is a very pretty park. We camped in #22 in Loop B and were right on the lake with a beautiful sunset view. Loop A appeared to have permanent residents and not nearly as pretty a view. Heard there are LOTS of fish, but we didn't have our equipment. Due to the wealth of trees, some of the sites are a bit hard to back into and anything larger than our 36 foot 5th wheel might have a hard time maneuvering, as there are a couple of large trees very close to the road. But it is well worth the effort. We will definitely return. - TerryMScampers

Park is well maintained,some sites are rather tight for big rigs, and waterfront sites are rather small.Great park for bike riding. - trigger
Apr 2005 - $13.00
We had a large group camp there, about 22 motorhomes. They put us all together. There is a lot of shade, even to the point of satellite TV reception was not possible in our area. Nice park right on the lake. We will stay there again when in the area. - User20

We stayed over Memorial Day Weekend. The park was packed this weekend. The park is very clean and the restrooms/showers were very nice and clean. The lake is beautiful and there is a boat launch, swimming area, tennis courts, disc golf and kids playground. The camp sites are pretty tight to get into. The one we had was one that was more wide open without trees right next to the pad. The pads in the first 2 loops are asphalt with some big drop offs from the asphalt to the ground and there were some with big drop offs around the sides of the pad and some that were not level. The loop where we were (site 39) was newer and had concrete pads and all seemed pretty level. The sites are somewhat close together and there are quite a few big trees next to the road so bigger rigs/motorhomes were having problems getting backed into their sites. Our trailer is about 27' total length and there was no room for our truck to park in front of it. Because of that most vehicles were parked to the sides of the lots which made it tighter to get through. There was a nice grill, fire ring and picnic table with gravel around it and we had power, water and sewer at the site. There was also a dump station in the park. There were lots of kids there that weekend but everyone did adhere to the quiet time from 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. There are no generators allowed. - Mysticks1
May 2015 - $18.00
Overall a good campground for a one night stay. Right off of US45, it was perfect for our purposes. The roads are tight leading back to RV area. It was a family oriented campground, with a number of parents/small children types occupying the sites. Wouldn't be my idea of a destination campsite. The sites were narrow and small with a picnic table and grill. We would use again for a one night stay only. - Prairie Bayou
Oct 2014 - $36.00
A very nice small state park on a lake. We were there on a fall weekend and the park was full. Sites are close but it was easy to get into the park in a 35 ft motorhome. It is very wooded and there are nice sites on the lake. We were in site 37 which was a lake view. - budolemiss

(Communicated by COGAT - Coordination of Government Activities in the
In November 2012, in response to the escalating
attacks from Hamas and other terror groups in the Gaza Strip (including 787
rockets that landed in Israel since the start of 2012), Israel launched Operation
Pillar of Defense, as a necessary action to protect Israel's civilians.
Throughout the 8-day operation, the Coordination of Government Activities in
the Territories (COGAT), and COGAT's field representatives in the Coordination
and Liaison Administration to Gaza (CLA Gaza) worked with the IDF, other
branches of the Israeli defense establishment, international organizations and
governmental representatives in order to provide assistance for the needs of the
civilian population in Gaza.
While Hamas actively exploits and endangers their civilians, COGAT's
activities are yet another example of the measures that Israel takes to minimize
casualties and harm amongst that very same population.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (AP) -- Americans are popping pain pills at a lightning pace, according to statistics from the Drug Enforcement Administration.
The amount of five major painkillers purchased at retail stores rose 90 percent between 1997 and 2005. Oxycodone, the chemical used in OxyContin, is responsible for most of the increase. Its use jumped nearly six-fold.
More than 200,000 pounds of the painkillers were purchased in 2005. That's enough to give more than 300 milligrams to every person in the country.
There are several factors involved in the increase: an aging population, unprecedented marketing campaigns by drug makers and a major change in pain management philosophy. Doctors who once advised patients that pain is part of the healing process began reversing course more than 20 years ago.

Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
July 30, 2012
[Covers calendar year from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011]
Executive Summary
The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom and, in practice, the government respected religious freedom. The government did not demonstrate a trend toward either improvement or deterioration in respect for and protection of the right to religious freedom.
There were no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice.
The U.S. embassy discussed religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. The embassy maintains relationships with religious leaders, civil society members, and members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an effort to promote religious freedom and human rights. In honor of Ramadan, embassy representatives visited the country's only mosque to meet with the leaders of the community, discuss their concerns, and explore potential engagement opportunities in the coming year.
Section I. Religious Demography
More than 90 percent of the population professes a religion. Protestant Christian denominations including Baptists (35 percent), Anglicans (15 percent), Pentecostals (8 percent), Church of God (5 percent), Seventh-day Adventists (5 percent), and Methodists (4 percent) are in the majority; there are also significant Roman Catholic (14 percent) and Greek Orthodox populations. The local Greek Orthodox Church estimates that there are approximately 500 practicing Orthodox Christians on New Providence Island.
Smaller Jewish, Baha'i Faith, Jehovah's Witnesses, Rastafarian, and Muslim communities also are active. A small number of Bahamians and Haitians, particularly those living in the Family Islands, practice Obeah, a version of voodoo. Some members of the small resident Guyanese and Indian populations practice Hinduism and other South Asian religions. Although many unaffiliated Protestant congregations are almost exclusively black and Greek Orthodox and Jewish religious groups are almost exclusively white, most mainstream churches are integrated racially.
Section II. Status of Government Respect for Religious Freedom
Legal/Policy Framework
The constitution and other laws and policies protect religious freedom.
The constitution specifically forbids infringement of a person's freedom to choose and change his or her religion and provides for the right to practice the religion of one's choice. The law provides effective remedies to enforce these rights.
Christianity is the dominant religion. Political and public discourse often refers to the country's strong Christian heritage and Christian themes in general, and the constitution requires the government to respect Christian values. The government meets regularly with religious leaders, both publicly and privately, to discuss societal, political, and economic issues.
Churches and other religious congregations have no special registration requirements, although they must incorporate legally to purchase land. There are no legal provisions to encourage or discourage the formation of religious communities, which are required to pay the same tariffs and stamp taxes as for-profit companies if they legally incorporate.
Religion is recognized as an academic subject at government schools and is included in mandatory standardized achievement and certificate tests. The country's Christian heritage has a strong influence on religion classes in government-supported schools, which focus on the study of Christian philosophy, Biblical texts, and, to a lesser extent, comparative and non-Christian religions presented in a Christian context. The constitution allows students, or their guardians in the case of minors, to decline to participate in religious education and observance in schools; this right, although rarely exercised, was respected in practice.
The government observes the following religious holidays as national holidays: Good Friday, Easter Monday, Whit Monday, and Christmas.
Government Practices
There were no reports of abuses of religious freedom.
Rastafarians reported discrimination against detainees by prison officials at Fox Hill Prison. Specifically, they reported prison officials cut the dreadlocks of Rastafarians held on remand for possession of small amounts of marijuana. The government maintained the practice was standard procedure engaged in for hygienic reasons. Citing an incident where prison officials allegedly shaved half of a Rastafarian's head and left dreads intact on the other, Rastafarians asserted that the prison officials' motivation for cutting dreads was based on discrimination rather than hygiene. Rastafarians also reported that the prison failed to meet the religious dietary preferences of Rastafarian detainees at Fox Hill Prison by only offering meat dishes.
Haitian immigrants brought with them elements of voodoo. The practice of Obeah is illegal, and those caught practicing it or attempting to intimidate, steal, inflict disease, or restore a person to health under the guise of Obeah may be sentenced to three months of imprisonment.
Section III. Status of Societal Respect for Religious Freedom
There were no reports of societal abuses or discrimination based on religious affiliation, belief, or practice.
Several interdenominational organizations and ecumenical movements freely and energetically expressed their opinions on societal, political, and economic issues throughout the year. Christian pastors exerted significant influence over politics and society.
Section IV. U.S. Government Policy
U.S. government discussed religious freedom with the government as part of its overall policy to promote human rights. The U.S. embassy maintains relationships with religious leaders, civil society members, and members of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in an effort to promote religious freedom and human rights.

The project, announced by BISD Superintendent Dr. Sue Thomas at the board's regular meeting Oct. 16, will take between 20 and 30 working days to complete and cost between $4,000 and $8,000.
"Each student's records contain about four pages each," Thomas explains. That's after BISD personnel spent weeks culling through the records to remove anything the district did not need to convert to digital records.
Thomas hired the Records Consultants, Inc. company in San Antonio to scan the documents; for years, the same company has handled the destruction of sensitive BISD documents.
"This is the first time we have used RCI for scanning graduate records," Thomas says.
RCI personnel were loading the boxes on a company truck early Monday.
The earliest record, she says, was for students who were graduated in the 1930s.
Once scanned, RCI will burn the records will to CDs. BISD will store them in a large safe. The original records then will be destroyed.
RCI will keep a separate backup of the CDs.

Sunday (September 8), SMACK/Ultimate Rap League (URL) held its "Summer Madness 3" event at Manhattan, New York's Stage 48. The event was marred by delays due to alleged security issues and technical difficulties. After the delays, the event was abruptly cancelled following an altercation between Serius Jones and Math Hoffa.
Daylyt, whose main event battle against Swave Sevah was among the battles cancelled, spoke with HipHopDX about the night's ending. In an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, Daylyt said he believes Math's alleged escalation of the battle into physical violence was a set-up in order to get the rest of the night cancelled.
"Even if Math and Jones would have continued their battle, we still wouldn't have been able to battle because [Stage 48] was going to close at 1 AM," Daylyt said in an exclusive interview with HipHopDX. "When Math hit Serius Jones, it was 12:57."
Daylyt Says SMACK/URL May Have Asked Math Hoffa To Punch Serius Jones
Daylyt's theory goes beyond the timing of the altercation.
"There's things people did not see," Daylyt said. "Did you not see [Smack/URL co-founder Eric] Beasley and Serius Jones get into it upstairs? Right before Jones came downstairs, he and Beasley got into it. It's a conspiracy. They were arguing and Beasley was upstairs kicking trashcans. Then as soon as he comes downstairs, Math hit Jones. I'm almost thinking that they told Math to do that."
Daylyt also said he disagreed with Ultimate Rap League's decision to allow DNA and others on stage during the event.
"If we're on a 'tight schedule'...why would you bring them out on stage?" Daylyt said. "You say you don't fuck with them no more, and then you bring Hitman [Holla], Con[ceited] and all these niggas on stage? You're wasting time."
Moreover, Daylyt said he felt this was "set-up," perhaps because he is from the West Coast.
"Every time there is a West Coast nigga on URL's stage, it almost never goes down," Daylyt said. "Like, this shit happened with Dizaster and now it's happening with me. Why? What is the science of this shit? It's starting to seem set-up to me."
Daylyt Says "It's Over" For SMACK/URL
Daylyt also added that URL may have longstanding consequences as a result of the fight at "Summer Madness 3."
"Something like this happens, and they're going to be told 'No, your events are violent and dangerous,' so I don't even know where they're going to be able to book an event now," Daylyt said. "It's over."
Troy "Smack" Mitchell, host and co-founder of SMACK/URL, tweeted about the incident.
It's a sad day for the culture, with the accident that took place at #SM3. On behalf of the URL Movement I Apologize to all the fans
— Troy Mitchell (@SMACKWHITE) September 9, 2013
Daylyt Asks For $200,000 For His Next SMACK/URL Battle
Moreover, Daylyt also said he wasn't informed that his match had been cancelled due to the fight. When he reached the stage to discover what was happening, Smack and Beasley had already left the venue. However, Daylyt said he received payment for his cancelled battle and that Beasley called to apologize the following day.
Still, Daylyt says he doesn't foresee continuing his relationship with URL.
"If they want me anywhere near [a] URL stage, they have to fly all 30 of my homies back out and I need $200,000," Daylyt said. "Other than that, fuck 'em."
Daylyt also had other frustrations regarding the URL event. According to Daylyt, URL did not make a hotel reservation for him and they did not grant him V.I.P. access at the venue despite being a competitor in the main event of "Summer Madness 3."
Daylyt also said that his cancelled "Summer Madness 3" main event match-up against Swave Sevah will take place at King of the Dot's "Blackout" event this year.
URL has denied these claims. The company recently said that battles that did not take place Sunday at "Summer Madness 3" will take place later this year.

"Salt is excellent. But if the salt goes flat, it's useless, good for nothing. Are you listening, really listening?" Luke 14:34 (The Message).
Apart from its preserving and flavouring function, salt plays another important role in the rituals of Jewish religious life. The salt ceremony is part of a Jewish wedding. Bride and groom each bring a small amount of salt which is poured into a bag and shaken together. These words are spoken as the salt is shaken, 'What God has joined together let no man separate,' symbolising the unbreakable union between husband and wife.
Perhaps Jesus was referring to both of these functions when He mentioned salt in His teaching. In the context of what He was talking about, an 'unsalty' disciple is one who started out with Jesus, found the going difficult and pulled out after a while because he had not really taken time to count the cost. He lost his flavour and became unprofitable in the kingdom of God.
But what about the union that had been forged between him and Jesus, as binding and unbreakable as a marriage covenant? Perhaps this is the heart of the issue Jesus is talking about here. Divorce may dissolve a marriage legally but it never obliterates the union of two people, contracted by their vows and consummated by their physical union.
In the same way, when a person becomes espoused to Jesus through a faith-union that is consummated by the power of the Holy Spirit, he enters into an unbreakable covenant with Him, sealed by His blood shed on the cross. To renounce that covenant and to break that union is to become as worthless as unsalty salt.
The writer to the Hebrews recognises how futile such a life becomes. "It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance because, to their loss, they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting Him to public disgrace." Hebrews 6:4-6 (NIV).
And so Jesus pleads, 'Are you listening, really listening?'
How easy it is to 'sign on' when the preacher paints a rosy picture of 'sins forgiven and a free passage to heaven' but neglects to tell the whole story. There is an attitude that pervades both the world and the church - 'no fear of God,' said the Apostle Paul. How seriously do we take Jesus' words? Isn't that the essence of fearing God?
God is invisible but real. His presence fills both heaven and earth. He is here, now, always, but how seriously do we take Him and what He has written? The Jews of Jesus' day chose to ignore His words and found, to their terrible loss, that He was right and they were wrong. In AD 70, Jerusalem was overrun by the Romans, reduced to rubble and burnt to the ground because they chose not to listen.
And so Jesus says to you and to me, 'Are you listening, really listening?' It pays to listen. If Jesus was wrong, we lose nothing. If He was right, we lose everything. If He was right about His own death and resurrection, is there any reason to doubt Him when He warns us that we cannot be His disciple on our own terms?
But the alternative is unthinkable. Not to follow Jesus is to consign ourselves to the eternal trash heap because 'He who has the Son had life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.' 1 John 5:12 (NIV). Bottom line!
But the choice is still yours!

Vehicle Parking District Board presents City Council with Downtown Norfolk parking plan
NORFOLK - Growth in downtown Norfolk has created a good problem, but a problem nevertheless. An advisory board commissioned by the Norfolk City Council to come up with solutions for parking issues in downtown Norfolk has completed its work. James Wapelhorst, a member of the Vehicle Parking District Board told council members at Monday night's meeting that there are now 840 individual employees and tenants operating in the area from 1st to 8th Streets and Madison to Braasch Avenues. He says the plan maintains free parking for the customers of downtown businesses. Wobblehorst says employee and resident parking would be set aside in off-street lots for which permits could be purchased. The recommended cost for the permits is $15 per quarter or $55 per year. Residents and employees who purchase permits would receive tags to place on their rear-view mirrors.

'Princess Hotel is a true backpacker (Low budget) establishment. Simple rooms that are clean and super affordable. The staff are relaxed and are happy to help guests with any queries. Nothing better than a cheap Stella (Beer) on their rooftop either.' - Ben Dunphy, Australia.
'The helpful staff at Princess Hotel worked tirelessly to make sure I had a relaxed, comfortable stay. The rooms are spotless, the rooftop terrace really chilled and I was given accurate advice without any strings attached. I can't tell you how refreshing it was to have some genuine honesty for a change, rather than trying to pull any fast ones.
Spot on - to say the least.' - Graham Brewster, Canada.
You have option of transport from the bus and train station and from the airport to Princess Hotel.
When you arrive to luxor, never trust anyone who says that Princess Hotel is full, or closed.... even if this person shows a business card from the Princess Hotel.
The room you have booked is waiting for you in the one and only Princess Hotel in Luxor.
I liked very muck to stay in Princess hotel. The staff is very nice and helpfull, and I had the biggest smile I saw in Egypt from the girl, who did my laundry :-)
I enjoed a trip made by the manager of the hotel and saw the Valley of the Kings. He also gave me good advices, which helped me very much (I am travelling alone).
The breakfast is also very good, I loved the pancakes :-)
The hotel is situated a very short way from the bus and trainstation, just 5 minutes walk.
I can recommend you to take a taxi (10 Egyptian Pound) because at least 20 persons will try to get in contact with you for finding you a place to stay.
I can really recommend Princess hotel.
Thanks to Massud for my stay and for all the help I recieved.

We stayed here for only 1 night/2 days but we really wished we could have stayed more !
The owner, Ms Emmanuelle has been the most genuine person we met in entire Egypt ! She understands the needs of a budget traveler and goes out of the way to help the visitors feel at home,
She guided us to right places to see, arranged felucca trips for us at very reasonable costs and at no point of time pushed us to take their organized tours
That she can speak both English and Arabic is a further blessing in a country like Egypt !
We definitely plan to come back to Princess Hotel , only for Emmanualle,
Net, a definite thumbs-up for budget travelers who look for home comfort, outside home, esp if you plan for stay long in Luxor
