Way too early for 2012 Electoral College math, but what the heck
It's absurdly premature to start playing out scenarios on the Electoral College map for an election that is 20 months away, but Chris Cillizza of the Wash Post did it anyway over the weekend and made one calculation that might have some staying power when the race actually takes shape.
Obama's 2008 win was so solid and involved such a thorough sweep of traditional swing states, plus the capture of several states that had been solidly red over recent cycles, that he could lose as many six of the states he carried in 2008 and still reach the crucial 270 electoral votes needed for victory.
And yes, the list starts with the big two swing states -- Ohio and Florida -- that have seemed to determine the outcome of the previous three elections. Obama was the only Democrat in the last three cycles to carry them both, and Al Gore and John Kerry would have won if they had done so. But if you subtract them from Obama's total, he still would have had a comfortable margin. Cillizza also subtracted three states that Obama turned from red to blue last time -- Virginia, North Carolina and Indiana -- and Obama still had an electoral majority. And, just to push the math to the limits, Cillizza also subtracted Nevada, which has been a swing state in recent presidential history, and Obama still squeaked by.

The trouble with any kind of prediction is that we've gone from an extreme Dem swing in 2008 to an extreme Rep swing in 2010. No one has any idea what a true baseline looks like anymore. This year's politics will be a big influence (of course) but some other domestic issues will probably be even bigger. If unemployment is still near double digits and gas prices are near $5 next year then Obama will have an uphill climb. On the other hand, if the GOP candidate implodes, he should cruise easily.
Obama is the incumbent; it's still his to lose.
Since right now he seems to be running against the seven dwarfs, the odds are in his favor. Romney and Hucklebee are way ahead, but they're not going any higher; Pawlenty, Bachmann et al are still at the bottomof the hill. Unless someone comes out of the woodwork and does an Obama, the GOP is running for 2016.
The National Popular Vote bill would guarantee the Presidency to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC).
Every vote, everywhere, would be politically relevant and equal in presidential elections. Elections wouldn't be about winning states. No more distorting and divisive red and blue state maps. Every vote, everywhere would be counted for and directly assist the candidate for whom it was cast. Candidates would need to care about voters across the nation, not just undecided voters in a handful of swing states.
In the 2012 election, pundits and campaign operatives already agree that only 14 states and their voters will matter under the current winner-take-all laws (i.e., awarding all of a state's electoral votes to the candidate who receives the most popular votes in each state) used by 48 of the 50 states. Candidates will not care about 72% of the voters-- voters in 19 of the 22 lowest population and medium-small states, and big states like California, Georgia, New York, and Texas. 2012 campaigning would be even more obscenely exclusive than 2008 and 2004. Candidates have no reason to poll, visit, advertise, organize, campaign, or care about the voter concerns in the dozens of states where they are safely ahead or hopelessly behind. Policies important to the citizens of 'flyover' states are not as highly prioritized as policies important to 'battleground' states when it comes to governing.
The bill would take effect only when enacted, in identical form, by states possessing a majority of the electoral votes--that is, enough electoral votes to elect a President (270 of 538). When the bill comes into effect, all the electoral votes from those states would be awarded to the presidential candidate who receives the most popular votes in all 50 states (and DC).
The bill uses the power given to each state by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution to change how they award their electoral votes for president. Historically, virtually all of the major changes in the method of electing the President, including ending the requirement that only men who owned substantial property could vote and 48 current state-by-state winner-take-all laws, have come about by state legislative action.
In Gallup polls since 1944, only about 20% of the public has supported the current system of awarding all of a state's electoral votes to the presidential candidate who receives the most votes in each separate state (with about 70% opposed and about 10% undecided). Support for a national popular vote is strong in virtually every state, partisan, and demographic group surveyed in recent polls in closely divided battleground states: CO-- 68%, IA --75%, MI-- 73%, MO-- 70%, NH-- 69%, NV-- 72%, NM-- 76%, NC-- 74%, OH-- 70%, PA -- 78%, VA -- 74%, and WI -- 71%; in smaller states (3 to 5 electoral votes): AK – 70%, DC – 76%, DE --75%, ME -- 77%, NE -- 74%, NH --69%, NV -- 72%, NM -- 76%, RI -- 74%, VT -- 75%, and WY – 69%; in Southern and border states: AR --80%, KY -- 80%, MS --77%, MO -- 70%, NC -- 74%, and VA -- 74%; and in other states polled: CA -- 70%, CT -- 74% , MA -- 73%, MN – 75%, NY -- 79%, WA -- 77%, and WV- 81%.
A survey of 800 Minnesota voters showed 75% overall support for a national popular vote for President. Support was 84% among Democrats, 69% among Republicans, and 68% among others. By age, support was 74% among 18-29 year olds, 73% among 30-45 year olds, 77% among 46-65 year olds, and 75% for those older than 65. By gender, support was 83% among women and 67% among men.
The bill has passed 31 state legislative chambers, in 21 small, medium-small, medium, and large states, including one house in AR, CT, DE, DC, ME, MI, NV, NM, NY, NC, and OR, and both houses in CA, CO, HI, IL, NJ, MD, MA ,RI, VT, and WA . The bill has been enacted by DC, HI, IL, NJ, MD, MA, and WA. These 7 states possess 74 electoral votes — 27% of the 270 necessary to bring the law into effect.

TiRon and Ayomari had me at the first Paid In Full sample.
The fact that the song ended up being ran back three times in one sitting was just the icing on the cake. "Big Apple Don't Chew" won't stake claim to the "song of the summer" by the time rap's mythical warm weather MVP award is handed out, but damn if it doesn't deserve a spot on the after work playlist.

The downside I guess to occasionally sending out a cool
free workout is that it may be taken the wrong way.
The complex workout I sent out the other day had that
Diane wrote, "LOVED THIS WORKOUT!! ESPECIALLY AFTER
I think Diane brings up a really great point –
Namely, what kind of workouts should you do every day?
Dan Gable, Olympic Gold Medalist Wrestler, and Wrestling
Coach Extraordinaire, once said, "If it's important, do
it every day."
There's definitely some wisdom to that.
But let me ask you this – is doing really hard workouts
every day really THAT important?
Should it be?
And what toll would those hard workouts ever day take on
your body? And would they help you in the long run?
Unfortunately, some of us equate "hard" with "results."
The harder the workout, the better and faster the results
must be.
Yes and no.
While it's true that the body must experience some form
of "overload" to see progress, you can also balance that
idea with the concept of "synaptic facilitation" – or
"Grease the Groove" – skill practice for measurable results.
The two seem diametrically opposed to each other but they
are not. Both approaches yield measurable results.
For example, my book "Kettlebell Muscle" relies heavily on
hard workouts that rely on overload. Their "intensity" is
matched by their brevity.
From the feedback I've gotten, the average trainee gains
approximately 1 pound [of muscle] per week, over the 12
Pretty good results for working out less than an hour per
week. (The first workout is 7 minutes long.)
On the other hand, you have Pavel's "Naked Warrior" or his
and Dan John's "Even Easier Strength" programs which are
based on "Grease the Groove" workouts – practicing your
strength as a skill.
And people get amazing results from both – busting thru
strength plateaus when traditional programs have failed.
Obviously then, both approaches work.
So what did I tell Diane?
I told her that "doing a workout that hard every day would
be a BIG MISTAKE.
Loads need to be cycled for best results. Just remember,
just because something is hard doesn't mean that making
everything hard all the time will be profitable. Wavy loads
– light-medium-heavy are best."
The time tested principle of "wavy loads" is best for most
people both physically and psychologically.
There's enough "overload" to disrupt homeostasis and the
loads are light enough to feel like you're "greasing the
Plus the light and medium days provide a nice psychological
relief to balance the stresses of daily life.
Finally, there's an inverse proportion between frequency of
training and the effort of your training. The harder the
effort, the lower the frequency and vice versa.
I recently heard a retired powerlifter say that most people
don't see the results they want because they "only" train
3 days a week.
Unfortunately, plenty of his results, like mine, are injuries.
However, plenty of champs have used a three day a week
system, including the legendary 3 time Olympian, Tommy Kono,
one of the greatest weightlifters of all time.
Bottom line here is this – you can train every day IF
1. Have the time to do so without neglecting the other
priorities in your life (we're not in college any more)
2. Doing so doesn't stress you out, overwhelm you, or turn
into some form of negative psychological stressor
3. You are honest with yourself and can actually recover
from (or partially recover from) your previous workouts
But just remember, RECOVERY is the key word in training
every day. You have to be able to get enough in to not
completely overwhelm your body.
Most of us with the hustle and bustle of daily life just can't
do that.
So, we're "left" with 3 days a week – which has worked
stupendously well for thousands, if not millions of strength
training enthusiasts over the last 100+ years.
So you're in good company.
Finally (really, I mean it this time), most of us will do
better and see faster results by keeping our workouts
shorter rather than longer.
It's the best way to balance life stress with recovery.
You can write your own workouts and try to get the "wavy
load" thing just right or you can take the pressure off and
get a bunch of done-for-you programs – mostly 3 day a week-ers
done in between 60-90 minutes per week, by grabbing your copy
of "Kettlebell Express" at the link below.
Talk soon.
P.S. Remember, you CAN train every day, but it doesn't mean
you SHOULD. Anything that causes extra stress in your life
and relationships will interfere with the results you want.
Therefore, follow the "KISS" principle – "Keep It Simple Simon"
and go with a template that has proven it's worth over time –
3 days per week, abbreviated workouts.
They keep you fresh, hungry, and best of all – making progress
and seeing measurable results.
Here's where you make all that happen –

- 3 cups shredded cooked chicken breast (about 1 lb.)
- 2 cups (1-inch) cubed nectarine (about 2 large)
- ½ cup diced celery
- ⅓ cup chopped green onions
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons nondairy creamer
- 1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon curry powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tablespoons sliced almonds, toasted
- Combine the chicken, nectarine, celery and green onions in a large bowl. Toss to combine.
- In another bowl combine mayonnaise, non dairy creamer, lemon juice, salt, curry powder and pepper. Mix well with a whisk.
- Drizzle mayonnaise mixture over chicken mixture; toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle with almonds.
Kashrut Instructions
- Remove and discard all side leaves and branches.
- Holding celery stalk firmly under a heavy stream of water, brush down both the inside and outside of the celery stalk with your finger or a vegetable brush.
- If a worm is spotted in the celery stalk, slit open celery stalk, remove worm and wash thoroughly.
INFESTATION: Green Onions, also referred to as scallions, have a white base that develops into a bulb. Its long, straight green shoots branch forth from the bulb. Light green or brown thrips may occasionally be found between the green branches where they protrude from the bulb. Less frequently, they can be found on the outside or inside of the long green shoots.
- A vertical cut should be made from the top of the scallion's green shoot to the bottom of the bulb. Examine three scallions from each bunch, paying careful attention to the area between the branches that protrude from the bulb.
- If no insects are found, wash thoroughly under a heavy stream of water or power hose and use.
- If insects are found in a scallion, it must be discarded.

Former Turkish Parliament Member arrested
A former Turkish parliament member accused of large-scale swindling was arrested Tuesday after a court appearance in Istanbul.
The arrest of Fadil Akgunduz, aged 44, came hours after the court re-activated an arrest warrant for him.
"I have done nothing wrong. I have worked day and night to serve my country, " Akgunduz told reporters after arriving at the courthouse, according to Anatolia news agency.
His arrest followed last week's cancellation of the November 3 election results in the southeastern province of Siirt, where the controversial businessman was elected as an independent to parliament.
Akgunduz enjoyed a short period of judicial immunity after winning his seat, which he had campaigned for from abroad as a warrant for his arrest had been issued after he was convicted and sentenced to two years behind bars for fraud.
However, when he turned up in parliament to take his oath of office earlier this month he faced protests from fellow lawmakers who staged a walkout. Akgunduz escaped abroad after his high-profile initiative to launch his own make of car went sour.
Meanwhile, around 100 Turks living in Germany have also filed complaints in Turkish courts against Akgunduz, accusing him of collecting around six million German marks under a bogus investment scheme, the Turkish media reported. (Albawaba.com)

HIV Cases Rise in Morocco
The number of HIV-positive people in Morocco is steadily increasing and probably "exceeds 15,000," said a Moroccan expert Tuesday, quoted by the official Maghrebe Arab Presse (MAP).
The head of the infectious diseases department at the Casablanca Ibn Rochd University Hospital, Hakima Himmich, was quoted as saying that the health ministry had found it difficult to collect accurate figures on HIV-infected people, because several physicians were not reporting diagnosed cases.
She also said that a large number of doctors did not have a thorough knowledge of the disease, and that laboratories with equipment for screening for the virus were located only in Rabat and Casablanca.
"To remedy the situation, the health department has embarked on a project to set up medical analysis laboratories in all Moroccan cities," Himmich said.
The health department contributes 50 percent of the AIDS treatment costs, which stand in some cases at Dh6,000 per month (about $521).
The French government is also providing Morocco with material aid, she added – Albawaba.com

Hush Hush Little Lamb
Hush Hush Little Lamb
The selected double page spreads were created as part of a Contemporary Illustration module and a brief set by tutors at The University Of Lincoln. A short story was presented, about a woman with the evil intention of eating a child. The tale was taken from an old German folk story, with the finished outcome to fulfil brief to incorporate well positioned text and imagery suitable for children.
As the story itself was full of quite dark and grotesque subject matter, a more adult approach was taken for an older audience. Although adult, the double page spreads try to retain an aesthetically appealing look, with mixed media used and the character of a woman to become a sheep, with the title; Hush Hush Little Lamb also forming a slight play on words not far from the well known film Silence of the Lambs that a more adult audience would grasp. Precise pencil drawings and layered shading make up the imagery as a contrast to the collaged backgrounds and more loose ink drawings of the houses.

Number 2 Sausage, Egg and Chips
By purplehaze
- 839 reads
There are few things better for joining the soul with the body than sausage, egg and chips in a beachfront café.
The wilder the weather, the better.
First things first.
I'm smiling at the waiter, he's very young, I don't pick up a menu. I am a woman who knows what she wants.
"Do you know what you want? " he smiles.
"Yes I do. Sausage, egg and chips please and a mug of cappuccino, and can I have that with the meal please?"
"Of course."
Isn't it fabulous when people say 'of course.'
Then there is the waiting. Exquisite daydream of people and weather-watching. I love beachfront cafes. The huge windows separating the sensations of the wild weather yet missing none of it. The experience peaked, like turning off the sound on the television, so much more is visible. Watching wild weather from the warm café capsule, heightens the experience. Snow becoming sea.
As the North wind meets his lover, the North Sea, they are in exuberant mood. Following their ecstasy, they create the slapping and smacking of wave upon wave, peaking repeatedly in a thick-laced 'Hurray!' of their spray. Joy of the North.
Back on the land, nothing can move quickly in snow. People walking like ducks, as if on burning coals, like they had no knee joints, the world inhabited by wooden tops. Legs straight and tight, full of fear and holding back. I want to open the door and shout, 'Just slide. Just go for it, glide, fly, embrace it. Fall on your arse. Have egg and chips. Find your inner child. Enjoy yourself!'
I don't though. Instead, I slide my hands over the oiled tablecloth. Cold, like today.
Then, ceremoniously, it is laid in front of you. Round white plate, knife and fork in a napkin blanket.
It's important to say thank you. To the waiter. Then a moment of grace, to the work of this chef, this chicken, this farmer, this cow, the potatoes, the earth, rain and sun, the pressed plants, the oil-makers, the potters, the steel forgers, the paper plant.
The world is brought to us in sausage, egg and chips.
Yet we think that we are alone.
That we have nothing supporting us.
Gratitude first, then burst the lava of the yoke, like a glass at a Jewish wedding.
Let the molten gold merge with the compulsory brown sauce. Yin and yang on a plate.
The crispier the chip, the better.
I never have chips at home, they are a treat, kept for special occasions. Wild weather down the beach being one of them. Sprinkled with the worst type of salt, to celebrate the steel grey brine thrashing in front of this cafe window. It is the elegant grey of a gay man's kitchen units.
Then the transformation. I am what I eat, and I eat this mindfully. Hot lunch on a cold day.
There is a perfect mathematics to having some egg yolk, piece of sausage and chip, per fork-load. The optimum taste experience. Multiple chipery is usually required, but you can never have too many deep fried carbs. Not down the beach. Not near the North Sea.
Swabbing the decks of the final salt-yolk-brown-sauce melange, a thrill in itself.
Then taking your time over the rest of the cappuccino, staring into the snow getting heavier, the sky a steel mauve, the sea wilder and wilder, the idea might come to you - to dance the chi with the North sea.
Just the idea will make you smile, pay up, stuff your book down your waterproof trousers and off you'll go, sideways down the snow-covered steps to the high Spring tide of the breaking waves. Nobody else about. Perhaps that adds to the exhilaration. If I was swept in like a snowflake, there's no-one to throw me a line. I know that it's not going to happen, I'm just a step away from the highest wave, still, I can smell the ions, feel their force and let out a squeal as the waves try to bless me. There is no chi like the North sea dancing with her love.
As I walk back up the stairs grinning like a new moon, I realise that all the people watching the sea from their cars could see me whoosh the chi. I feel sorry for them.
If you're just going to watch from behind glass, at least have sausage, egg and chips.

Heathrow sees half-term travel chaos after 'staff shortages'
Passengers at Heathrow airport are enduring long delays as staff shortages take hold of the west London travel hub on one of the busiest weekends of the year.
Many half-term holidaymakers returning to the UK are being forced to wait several hours to get through immigration.
The UK Border Agency, which controls the immigration set-up, has been accused by British Airways (BA) of running with a severe shortage of staff, which has led to long queues building up as passengers disembark aircraft.
Bosses fear flights may soon have to be diverted to other British destinations in a bid to ease congestion at Heathrow, the country's largest airport.
In particular, chaotic scenes have been reported at Terminal 5 – the main base for BA – where long queues were said to have been building from last night.
A BA spokesman said: 'We are speaking to Heathrow Airport and the UK Border Agency to understand why the immigration area in Terminal 5 is congested.
'We are doing all we can to assist our customers and are sorry that they are being affected by this issue.'
The agency admitted there has been an 'exceptional' number of people passing through Heathrow yesterday and today and that it is doing all it can to secure extra resources.

Rain shield moving east on NWS Aberdeen, South Dakota radar this morning.
Here it comes.
A wall of rain is moving eastward through South Dakota this morning. The promising area of steady widespread rain is part of a slow moving weather system sliding our way tonight. This could be the best chance of a soaking rain in weeks for rain parched southern Minnesota.
All indications are the rain should hold together this time around. It will move into western Minnesota early this afternoon, and should spread into the metro by tonight. The best timing for the onset of rain in the metro appears to be between 9pm and midnight. The steadiest rain should fall between midnight tonight and noon Thursday.
Computers are still cranking out between .50″ and .75″ for most of southern and central Minnesota into Wisconsin. If the system moves slow enough, there may be some lucky spots that soak up over an inch of rain.
Keep your weather fingers and toes crossed for a good soaker tonight!

Having Fun Down Under during Gold Coast Marathon
For the second time ( for some of us), braving the cold weather to run Gold Coast marathon on the 4th of July. It was reported as the coldest run in the Gold Coast marathon history. After much preparation and arrangement, group of 20 happy runners (few first timers) fly to Gold Coast courtesy of Azran (CEO of AAX). It was a smooth ride and we were pleasantly surprise to be on board with lots of other runners. I was informed that there were quite a large number of Malaysia runners flying with AAX for the event under AirAsiaGo.com.
When we arrived at Radisson Resort Gold Coast, we were again met the same group. This was not a surprise for me considering our first trip for the event last year went smoothly, thanks to the hotel management that provide the shuttle to the event place and everything was on time, this hotel become one of the runners favorite. My highlight for this hotel (besides their charming room and helpful staffs) is Carara Market, which is located about 2 km from the hotel and it was always a pleasant walk back to the hotel. The location was very convenient for me to shop for my banana and my supplements.
some of our runners in front of the Radisson Resort
On running kit collection day, we were invited to the Carbo Loading Lunch and were privileged to meet runners from all over the world including few well known names from marathon 'industry'. The speakers were fantastic and I learnt 2 important words: 'FAT FIT', the speaker was a guy that hosted the Australia Biggest Loser and those words was very timely for me as I was constantly conscious about my weight despite the vigorous training and endless marathon.
No run is the same run for me (same distance, different experience) and this was the hardest run for me, I was not fully recuperating from my asthma attack the week before and was advice by my doctor not to exert myself for the next few weeks. "Determinedly Stupid", as I discovered bout myself, I went ahead with the run. I puked on the 4th Km and medic appeared on my side and once I felt better, I continued the run only to puked again on the 9th Km, and was surprised to see the same medic came to my aid, I believed that he ran behind me. He told me to stop but I asked him to give me 5 more km and if I can't make it, I will stop. The moment I reached the 12th Km, I felt slightly nauseas but tried my best to overcome the sensation and told him that I want to complete the run. I encountered other AirAsia runners on Km 14th and slowly inching my way leaving them behind to finish the run. I was very emotional when they announced my name and the country I came from at the finishing line. This run really proves what I made of!
After the run, the Gold Coast Airport generously provide for us BBQ and it was fantastic.
Resting at the Gold Coast Airport and had a great time over lunch.
I was very happy with the fact that all our runners made it to the finish line and gave their best to complete the run. As we sat under the tent, we witness lots of senior citizens, slowly and persistently make their way to the finishing line. Ones cant help but to have the very thought to grow old exactly like that. Other than that, few memorable runners were one couple running with wedding gown and suit and a notes on their back "We Just Married". During the run, I saw many kinds of people with different kind of body, and how they help each other along the way was just unbelievable. This makes me believe that runners are among the nicest people in the planet, as no matter how tired they are, it doesn't stop them from helping others achieving their goal; even this means that they compromised their running time. That night, we force our tired limb to Mama Roma restaurant and had a great dinner.
"We Just Married" couple.. looking blissfully happy completing their 42km run.
On Monday, 16 excited runners made our way to "Catch a Crab" Tour. They were very curios on what we going to do there and I told them that, whoever don't managed to catch any crab, won't have any lunch. Yet, they were still up for it. When we arrived, we were greeted by pretty and enthusiastic girl name Paris, she explained to us bout the trip and when we got on the board, the captain of the ship explain to us the safety measure that we have to observe and then off we go. It was an interesting trip as the captain and Paris was such a knowledgeable person and they gave the simplest explanation that everybody can understand. We learnt how to catch a crab and to identify to the sex. Then we had fun under the sun catching yabbies, it harder than it looks to catch it, but it was very exciting experience, especially when we managed to catch one. On board, the captain explain to us bout the fishery policy in Australia, they type of catch that is legal and illegal, which I think everyone should learn about it as it makes lots of sense " Illegal catch will hurt the industry". After that, we were given a chance to try our hand on the fishing road, some of us managed to catch fishes but later released as it was too small and one big fish got away. The highlight of the event was the lunch at Birds Bay Oyster Farm Café . It was FANTASTIC! It was a big platter with generous potion of crabs, Sydney oyster, fish fillet, squid ring, fries and salad. During the lunch, the captain explains to us the method of oyster farming. It took 4 years for the oyster to grow to suitable to be slurp in a second. Everyone had a grand time eating their lunch and we had some fight over the oyster.
Catch a Crab tour ~ we learnt how to catch yabbies.
You've got to try this ~ at Birds Bay Oyster Farm Cafe.
Personally, I had the best time of my life during the trip, fantastic runners, great food, nice weather and cool outdoor activity. Will I come again next year? you bet!
Well Done Allstars Runners!

Forehead Type 3 Setback - Male Hairline Problem, How To Treat?
Doctor Answers 4
Forehead reduction in male
You need an exam before considering options.
Hairline Creation Through FUE Hair Transplant
Yes, there is a way to restore your existing hairline placement once you have this other procedure done. Through follicular unit extraction (FUE) hair transplant, a skilled surgeon can harvest hair from the nape of your neck and the back of your head to be implanted along the hairline; thus restoring its natural placement. FUE is the desirable technique for this because it enables the use of finer caliber hairs at the nape, which create a soft, natural look. Other techniques that are restricted to the mid-rear scalp often result in a harsh-looking hairline. For this procedure to prove successful make sure:
- You find an ADVANCED FUE surgeon
- You find a surgeon with artistic vision for hairline design

text: Hi all, I'm rather new to the list so maybe the question is well known but from my researches on the web and list archive, I did not find a clear explanation. I would like to create numpy array with my own (python) datatype, so I tried the obvious solution: from numpy import * class Unit(object): def __init__(self,value=0.0): self.value = value def __float__(self): return self.value def __repr__(self): return str(self.value) a = array([[Unit(1), Unit(2)], [Unit(3), Unit(4)]]) print a print a.dtype.name print a[0,0].value #a[0,0] = 0 #print a[0,0].value a = array (array([[1,2],[3,4]]), dtype=Unit) print a print a.dtype print a[0,0].value but the last print make python to raise an AttributeError stating that int object do not have a 'value' attribute. I guess I missed something concerning numpy object data type. Do I need to implement some special methods in Unit to make numpy happy ? Also, the commented line (a[0,0] = 0) makes the item to become an int while I need to set the value of the item instead, is that possible ? Nicolas

Basic Care and Maintenance- Goodrich Wallcovering.
Press Release • Jun 16, 2012 11:00 SGT
How to maintain your Wallcovering?
Stains should be removed as soon as possible to eliminate any possible reaction between the stain and the wallpaper. If soil remains on the wallpaper for too long, permanent discoloration may result.
Ordinary dirt spots can be removed with a mild soap and warm water. Cleanse thoroughly with clean water. Blot wallpaper dry with a soft lint-free towel.
For more difficult stains that are only surface deep, use of a stronger detergent is recommended. Try an inconspicuous spot first before attempting the entire wall. One should always cleanse thoroughly after applying a detergent. Abrasive rubbing of spots should be avoided so discolouration cannot appear.
Do not use steel wool or powdered cleaners, or active solvent-type preparations, such as nail polish remover, tar and bug removers, etc, because they may damage the wallpaper.

(Full story) Coming off the late night after Friday's semis, the Bomber boys assembled one last time at Concordia University for the 3rd-place game with Perham Saturday at noon. The game went down to the wire– tied at 44-44 with just over two minutes left– before the Yellowjackets prevailed 52-46.
"We said last night and this morning that we were going out in this game and use up all of our energy and do what we had to do. A couple years ago, we were real disappointed since we lost the 3rd-place game by 40, and we didn't want that to happen," said senior center Cameron Braund who got the Bombers started with the team's first four points. "So we decided we'd put forth all our energy no matter how disappointed from not being able to get into the championship."
The Yellowjackets eked ahead 20-12 when Braham went to its zone defense. Free throws by Shaun Hollenkamp and field goals from Braund, Drew Klemz and Tyler Vaughan got Braham to within 24-20 before the first half ended with Perham leading 26-22. The foul calls went largely in their favor as the Jackets had 13 chances at the line compared to Braham's four. Braham also was a tired 1-for-9 from the arc.
Perham's 6'7" center Mark Schumacher scored seven early points in the second half to help build the largest lead of the game at 36-24. After a timeout, the Bombers jumped back into the zone.
"Mainly, we used our 1-3-1 defense, just trying to keep the ball out of his hands– push it to the wings," said Braund of the Schumacher matchup.
A Vaughan runner and a Braund 15-footer started Braham's comeback. Hollenkamp later followed with a three-pointer, then Vaughan got inside for a three-point play and had a '3' roll around the rim before sinking. Bias finished off a steal which locked the game up at 42-42 with 5:20 remaining. Vaughan's ensuing swoop drive kept the game locked at 44-44.
Back answered the Yellowjackets with a Schumacher shot inside and an outside hit for a four-point edge. Braund's last bucket as a Bomber had his team within 48-46 with 1:26 left, but no more shots would fall the rest of the way. Perham sunk 4-of-5 free throws to earn the right to hoist the 3rd-place trophy.
"We got in the locker room after last night and just said, 'This can't happen. We need to play harder.' So we decided to go with the trap and decided to work as hard as we've worked all year," said Klemz.
"It was really fun. I love playing with my five seniors. We gave it all this game, just ended coming up short," said Bias. "Our legs were tired coming off the late game, but we tried."
Coach Vaughan on taking on the 2011 champs, "Two years ago, we didn't play hard in this game. It's all I asked– to play hard. It was tough. The shots that we made all year didn't really go today– our legs just aren't there. It's our third game in four days on big courts. I give Perham a lot of credit. They're as good a defensive team as we played all year."
"You're going to see great team defenses in this tourney. Every time any of us drove, they're waiting for us, and we saw it again today against Perham," analyzed T. Vaughan on the defensive pressure. "They picked up four or five charges, so it was tough for us to get to the basket. Outside shots weren't falling today. We got close in the second half, but they're a great team, and they just pulled it out."
Final thoughts
The Bombers closed down the season with a 30-3 record. The tight-knit squad emerged from the locker room post-game with every eye red and tear-filled.
"I am so proud of my five seniors. No coach could ever ask for five better seniors than I had this year," said Coach Vaughan. "It's too bad I couldn't lead them to the promised land because we were right there at that top level. A play here or a play there…it's so sad. And, of course, with my son leaving as one of the all-time greats. I'm a dad, too…it's very hard."
On walking off the court with Dad and teammates for the last time, Tyler Vaughan shared, "Definitely, it's real rough. Playing five years and having it come to an end was something I wasn't looking forward to at all. I've been playing with these guys since second grade; it's going to be tough without them. We had a great season, and we'll have happy memories forever."
Braund closes down his six years playing Bomber basketball. "I love all my teammates. They mean everything to me. I'm sad I'll never be able to play with them again," he said.
Wrapping up his career, Klemz philosophized, "It's meant so much to me. I love playing for this team. I just can't believe it's over. Everyone on the team has so much pride, whether you play or are the water boy, it doesn't matter."
Bomber Stats: Vaughan 16 points/8 rebounds/4 steals; Braund 12 points/3 rebounds; Bias 11 points; Hollenkamp 5 points/2 rebounds; Klemz 2 points/2 rebounds.
All-star entrants
Tyler Vaughan will play in the 30th annual Minnesota High School All-Star Basketball Series this weekend. His "Blue" team opens Friday night at St. Cloud State (7 p.m.), with Saturday's game at Macalester College.
Cameron Braund and Anthony Bias will play in the North All-Star Game in Bagley on Saturday.

The U.S. men's national team is in Cary, North Carolina preparing for its upcoming friendly against Spain, as well as the looming CONCACAF Gold Cup, and here are some updates for you on this Memorial Day morning:
As reported on Sunday, Alejandro Bedoya has been called into U.S. national team camp. He was called in after Benny Feilhaber suffered an ankle injury in New England's weekend MLS match against Los Angeles. Bedoya has yet to officially replace Feilhaber, who is still undergoing tests to determine if he can play in the Gold Cup. The U.S. team has until 24 hours before its opening match (against Canada on June 7th) to decide whether to make the change.
In other USMNT news:
More than 57,000 tickets have been sold for Saturday's USA-Spain friendly at Gillette Stadium. That means fewer than 10,000 tickets are left for the match.

Hey everyone,
Who else is doing this? I'm in...goal at this point is sub-30:00 for the 5K.
Surprised how far back I'm seeded with my 9:13 bib pace...in the 8xxx's. Anyone else notice this? Wondering if some are still being seeded as per their Fifth Ave. Mile pace....or maybe it' s just a very large field for the race?
Good luck, everyone!

Bush, Fargas have value with McFadden out
Michael Fabiano | Tags:
Well, at least Darren McFadden has an excuse for his pathetic stat line in Week 4.
The second-year running back is expected to miss the next two to four weeks due to a torn meniscus in his knee. McFadden was plain dreadful against the Texans, rushing for minus-3 yards on six carries in a 29-6 loss.
Coach Tom Cable didn't name a replacement for McFadden atop the depth chart, but a rotation between Justin Fargas and Michael Bush appears imminent. I think Bush is the better fantasy option since he'll likely see the goal-line work, however, so he's now worth a roster spot in most formats.
But on a team that rarely finds the end zone, that might not matter much.
The bottom line here is simple — there's isn't a single member of the Raiders that fantasy owners can trust. Not now, not this week against the Giants, not in Week 6 against the Eagles, and not in Week 7 against the Jets.
It literally is a Black Hole for fantasy owners.

Neutrogena Deep Clean Invigorating Foaming Scrub Reviews
was great when I was youngerI used this scrub when I was in highschool and the fresh feeling you get afterwards makes you really feel that you had a deep clean scrub. It worked really well for me then but my skin has aged a little and I have been using stronger but more sensitive products. — 6 years, 11 months agoecem414 | 25 reviews
Gentle and effectiveI get acne because my skin just does not like me. When I use this product at the first sign of a break out, I can prevent looking like I did in high school and limiting the results to just a few pimples. — 6 years, 11 months agoshelgirl | 2 reviews
Didn't live up to the hype.This has been recommended by many magazines but my skin didn't feel exfoliated after using. I'd rather exfoliate only once or twice a week but with this I needed to use this every time I showered and needed to use loads so the cheap price point didn't pan out as I could get 12 months out of a more expensive product. Disappointing. — 7 years, 3 months agoSuperlou | 5 reviews
Great scrub if you like to feel the burnDefinitely wakes you up with a menthol, tingling feeling. It is refreshing but I would not recommend the scrub for those with sensitive skin. It was a little irritating at first, but my skin adjusted. It is nice to use in the morning as a pick-me-up. I would say overall there are better products out there but if you like a cooling sensation on your face you will like this product. Reasonably priced for reasonable quality. — 7 years, 10 months agodplotsky | 2 reviews

Great Foaming Scrub CleanserI have tried different products that go well w/ my foundation make up, and seems like I still have oily skin and the make up feels cakey after a while. I tried this Scrub and I loved the way the cold, tingly sensation it had an effect on my face. Now when I have my foundation on all day it lasted longer. Great job Neutrogena! — 8 years, 11 months agolinda1013 | 12 reviews
Love it!I really like this scrub. I use it everynight and a gentler cleanser in the morning. It doesn't foam very well and the menthol in it kind of stings your eyes. Overall it's a great cleanser! I don't think anyone with dry skin could use it though. — 9 years, 2 months agocuppycake | 34 reviews

Though Violet, 6, and Seraphina, 3, were pushing for a Disney-themed moniker for their baby brother ("They suggested Donald Duck, Minnie Mouse Affleck," Garner joked), when it came to naming the newest addition to their family, Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck opted for something a little more traditional.
"We are happy to announce on February 27, Jennifer gave birth to a healthy baby boy, Samuel Garner Affleck," proud papa Affleck, 39, shared on Facebook.
Samuel -- a Biblical name with Hebrew origins -- translates to either "name of God" or "God has heard." The name has also consistently ranked in the top 50 most popular boys' names in the U.S., and was the 24th most popular choice for boys born in 2010.

The past few months have brought exciting plans for the future, as well as many accomplishments in the Spring Lake Park School District. I'll provide some brief updates on our initiatives and planning, but want to begin with a sampling of the most recent student and staff successes (which seem to multiply at this time of year).
In the past few weeks alone, Westwood Intermediate School was named a Celebration School by the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota Academic Excellence Foundation (MAEF). Our high school Knowledge Bowl Team is once again the North Suburban Conference champion and is headed to the playoffs. Our high school math team placed second in the North Suburban Division of the Math League and now advances to the Math League State Tournament for the 14th time in the past 20 years.
Our dance team once again qualified for the state tournament in both jazz and kick, placing fifth in the state in jazz. Our Family, Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) students were great at their regional and will compete at the state FCCLA competition in six events.
The winter sports season is not yet complete, but here are some highlights: The gymnastics team was the section academic champ with a 3.898 grade-point average. The boys' swimming and diving team was North Suburban Conference champ, won the Section 3A championship and has state tournament entrants in every event. The Nordic ski team and the wrestling team each had a state tournament entrant. Other sports are still wrapping up their regular seasons and competing in section tournaments.
Spring Lake Park is a true 1:1 technology school district
It began in September and will be completed by the end of February. The roll-out – in four carefully orchestrated distribution phases – of nearly 5,000 MacBooks, iPads, iPad minis and iPod Touches for students and staff is now complete.
We are now a true 1:1 technology district with each student having – or having access to – a technology learning device. It is important to point out that our 1:1 digital learning initiative is not about having cool, shiny new tools as their newness will surely wear off. It is, however, about pairing great technology with great educators to personalize learning and providing additional, appropriate educational tools to meet the unique and varied needs of our students, every grade level, nearly two years of research, over 30 summer sessions of staff training, extensive technology training for staff embedded throughout the year and over 40 parent-student technology information and expectation sessions.
I cannot possibly offer enough thanks to our entire technology staff, lead learners (the teachers who were the first to implement and then share their experiences with colleagues), technology coaches and our teachers who are now in the midst of transforming how they work with students each day. Of course, I also need to once again thank our community who supported the capital projects levy in November 2011, providing the resources to extend the reach of this initiative to all students.
Throughout the year – and especially in the past few weeks – as I have visited classrooms in each of our schools, I have been so impressed by the instruction I see. I appreciate the creativity and risk-taking demonstrated by our teachers who are in the midst of this new 1:1 journey. It's never easy to step out of the comfort zone of what we know has been successful. As a friend of mine recently shared, "there is no comfort in the learning zone and no learning in the comfort zone."
With the four-month roll-out of technology completed, the transformation of teaching and learning will now accelerate.
We will soon begin providing up-close-and-personal updates on the learning taking place throughout the district, including a series of short video vignettes on our website which will illustrate and communicate the creative, personalized and engaging learning taking place. In addition, there will be a celebration of learning in May where the public – which supported a technology levy – will have the opportunity to experience this learning and use of technology.
Innovation zone application and a new design for education
On Feb. 1, the Spring Lake Park and Farmington school districts submitted an application to become a Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) innovation zone. This is a five-year pilot approved by the Legislature last year to encourage school district partnerships and the development of new, innovative ways to deliver education more effectively in Minnesota. Why would we embark on this five-year journey? The benefit of being designated an innovation zone would be receiving flexibility and freedom from some mandates, allowing district staff to think and act even more creatively in personalizing learning and meeting the unique needs of each student.
If the application is approved, it wouldn't be about doing more. Instead, it would mean doing work differently, creating the conditions that would allow our educators to focus on learning and providing additional freedom to make an even bigger difference for kids.
We will find out by April if our proposed collaboration with Farmington is approved; if it is, additional planning will begin in earnest. We are already collaborating with Farmington as both districts are among the state's leaders in efforts to transform learning through personalized, digital learning initiatives for all students.
A video we prepared as part of our application speaks of customized, personalized learning to ignite the spark in each student while simultaneously pursuing standards-based learning. This four-minute video, readily accessible on our website, provides an illustrated version of what we are striving to accomplish and is something that every parent, student and community member should know about our vision for education.
Facilities and programming plans for fall 2013 move forward
For well over a year, we've provided updates on our facilities and programming study which led to choices made in December for addressing short-term, intermediate-term and long-term solutions to manage current enrollment, projected enrollment growth of 20 percent, facilities at or near capacity and identify placement of choice programs.
For fall 2013, these include additional classrooms at Northpoint Elementary, additional classrooms and site work at Park Terrace Elementary, students and staff of Woodcrest Elementary relocating to Park Terrace and Spanish Immersion relocating to the Woodcrest site.
There are many projects and tasks necessary between now and the fall to ensure a smooth transition and a successful start to the upcoming school year. Six parent-staff task forces have been formed to address them.
A transportation design team of district staff and transportation consultants has been meeting continuously since December, gathering research on school start and end times and the impact on student learning and behavior, as well as running and studying dozens of transportation scenarios prior to meeting with a parent and community input team. This team has also begun meeting to discuss the implications for planning and narrowing transportation and district-wide school start end time options for the next school year. A recommendation is expected by the end of March.
Other task forces are working on managing student and staff transitions, PTAs/PTOs, center-based programming which will include special education and early childhood considerations, the transition of curriculum and media materials, and moving and classroom furniture standards.
Our supportive school community
On Saturday, Feb. 9, The Panther Foundation's "Hear the Roar" Gala raised over $113,000 for our students. Not every district is blessed with this kind of support. This record amount included more than $25,000 to support the Panther Pantry Project to help end hunger locally by providing weekend food packs anonymously to students in need throughout the district over weekends and on non-school days.
The volunteer, community-based Panther Foundation annually raises funds – over $523,000 since 2004 – which have been turned into 170 grants and special projects to enrich or supplement teaching and learning.
Learn more, support students
There's a lot more to learn about our schools, programs, initiatives and accomplishments by visiting SpringLakeParkSchools.org. And, as always, I encourage you to support our students by attending their athletic events, plays, concerts and more. You'll have a great time and our students and staff will appreciate your encouragement and interest.
Jeff Ronneberg is the superintendent of Spring Lake Park School District 16.

Gotha is a town in Thuringia, within the central core of Germany. It is the capital of the district of Gotha.
Country: Germany | State: Thuringia | District: Gotha | Area: 69.52 km² | Population: 49,500 (December 2006)
Gotha has existed at least since the 8th century. It was first mentioned in 775 in a document signed by Karl der Grosse (Charlemagne) as Villa Gotaha ("Good Waters"). Karl der Grosse was the first emperor of the Holy Roman Empire; he was crowned on Christmas day in 800. Karl der Grosse visited Gotha, which was included in his empire, known as the first German Reich, and slept there at least one night.
The importance of Gotha derives from having been chosen in 1640 as the capital of the Duchy of Saxe-Gotha. In the years 1643 to 1655 Emst I the Pious (1601-1675) had Schloss Friedenstein (Friedenstein Catsle) built on top of the foundation walls of Grimmenstein castle. It was to be the seat for his Duchy of Saxe-Gotha. On July 3, 1655 the foundation stone was laid for the"custody building" of the castle. The main buildings were completed in 1672. Owing to the threat from the Turks, new fortifications for the town of Gotha were also constructed from 1663, along with the reinforcement of the Castle's fortifications. The fortifications were finished in about 1686, and fortunately their effectiveness was never put to the test. From 1772, Duke Emst II of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg had the now outdated fortifications removed as part of the work on the castle gardens. By 1800 all the ramparts and ditches had been levelled.
From 1826 to 1918, Gotha was one of the two capitals of the Duchy of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. From this family today's British royal family is descended through Prince Albert who married England's Queen Victoria. The family changed its name to Windsor during World War I when the British were circulating atrocity stories about the German soldiers who were allegedly "cutting off the hands of babies in Belgium." Even today, the Schloß, which contains several top-rated museums and a resplendent baroque theatre, remains Gotha's cultural centre and its star attraction.
In the 18th century, an extended stay by the French philosopher Voltaire turned the court into one of the centres of the Enlightenment in Germany.
Gotha has played an important role in the German workers' movement. The German socialist party (SPD) was founded in Gotha in 1875, through the merger of two organizations: the Social Democratic Workers' Party, led by August Bebel and Wilhelm Liebknecht, and the General German Workers' Association, founded by Ferdinand Lassalle. A compromise known as the Gotha Program was forged, which was strongly criticized by Karl Marx for its reformist bias.
Gotha also has been a centre of publishing. The firm Justus Perthes (now called Hermann Haack) began the publication in 1763 of the Almanach de Gotha, an authoritative directory of the world's major ruling dynasties and Europe's high nobility.
Gotha is dominated by a huge park in the center which surrounds the 17th century Schloss Friedenstein, the largest early Baroque castle and grounds in all of Germany. The triple-wing building was designed by an architect named Rudolphi and its construction required the work of 1,000 craftsmen and laborers.
In the Schlossmuseum at Gotha, there are many fine examples of medieval and renaissance art, including the famous painting called "Gothaer Liebespaar" (Gotha Lovers) which dates back to 1484 and is the oldest painting with two people in one picture. The painting is by a German artist known as "The Master of the Housebook." The museum also includes artwork by the famous Lucas Cranach, whose home still stands on one side of the town square below the Castle.
The first theater in Germany to have permanently employed actors, the Gothaer Hoftheater, was founded in 1774 by the actor Konrad Ekhof. Today a theater named after him, the Ekhof Theatre, is located in the west tower of the castle. It is the oldest baroque theater in Europe, featuring historic stage equipment which dates back to 1681.
From 1949 to 1990, Gotha was part of the German Democratic Republic.
Notable Persons
Johannes Lindemann (1550/1555-after 1633), composer, music editor and teacher
Georg Ludwig Agricola (1643-1676), composer
Christian Friedrich Witt (c1660-1716), composer
Gottfried Heinrich Stölzel (1690-1747), composer; was Kapellmeister of the Gotha court from 1729 to 1749
Bach Connection
According to recent research (Andreas Glockner, 1994), J.S. Bach spent some time in Gotha in 1717. He was asked to present a musical Passion at the Palace Church of Gotha, where the kapelmeister to the Duke of Saxe-Gotha lay dying. On Good Friday, March 26, J.S. Bach subtitued for the fatally ill Christian Friedrich Witt. He received 12 tallers for this guest performance. No copies of that Passion have survived, leaving us in the dark about the exact nature of the text and the music. Parts of this early J.S. Bach oratorio are represented by the dramatic arias that he later reused in the 2nd version of the Johannes-Passion BWV 245 (which, unfortunately, is as good as never performed today). The aria titles concerned are typical of the genre and reflect the special pre-dilection of the Gotha court: "Zerschmettert mich, ihr Felsen und ihr Hügel," "Himmel, reiße, Welt, erbebe," and "Ach windet euch nicht so, geplagte Seelen." The circumstances of J.S. Bach's service in the city of Leipzig did not enable him to perform the passion in full on a later occasion, and so he used these numbers in another context.
It is also possible that J.S. Bach was a candidate for the kapellmeistership at the ducal court of Gotha.

We like comics over here at Technically Philly.
So we were charmed to find this Cloudmine promo comic by local artist Ariel Braverman. It tells the story of how the Venturef0rth-based mobile app backend team met at Startup Weekend just a year ago and illustrates a few other reasons why Cloudmine is, well, awesome, as the comic's subtitle suggests.
(The whole comic isn't posted at the link above, and we suspect you have to trek over to the Cloudmine HQ at Venturef0rth to find the whole thing.)

Hate Filled Article of Tehelka – Scary Distortion of Journalism Values
Recently a story titled Hindutva Lab 2.0 appeared in Tehelka.
For those of you, who have not read it; please feel free to indulge in the exercise. However, you are cautioned against taking the content seriously. Why not? The write-up reflects the frustration of Tehelka when a nationalist movement garners momentum. The article also reflects another aspect – desperate bid to create sheer sensation. Use of phrases like "scary distortion of an entire society " will vouch for both.
When you write about an organization or a group, it is a common journalistic practice to talk to people who are members of that organisation and take into consideration their views. I wonder if Tehelka ever did this. During the journalist's supposed journey through Karnataka, spending a week journeying from urbane Bengaluru to northern and coastal Karnataka, did he meet any person from RSS/BJP? If he has, why has the journalist in charge not quoted their views in his article ? The writers seems to have had his own ideas about what is to appear in the piece rather than writing on observed facts.
The piece is filled with factual errors and anomalies. This automatically provokes the question – who could be Tehelka's source of information and views ? The said piece quotes individuals like Shiv Sundar to support it's narrative. Shiv Sundar, according to them is "one of the most clear-headed observers in the state"[sic]. Is he the same Shiv Sundar, who has earned his fame through the tabloid- Lankesh Patrike ? Seems to be. To learn more about Lankesh Patrike ask any Kannadiga for their views on the tabloid. They also quote an interview with Mahendra Kumar – an erstwhile member of the Sangh who later defected to JD(S) to support their claims. Somebody who leaves a political organization and joins his erstwhile rivals is naturally expected to make accusations on his previous party.
Now, a look at samples of factual lies that are being propagated:
Tehelka says : Hindu Shakti Sangama stands canceled because of porngate.
Fact : Hindu Shakti Sangama was intended to be held for 3 days on 27, 28 & 29 January. The 'porngate' episode happened on 7 February.
Tehelka says : Chudamani Aiyyar is the editor of Hosadigantha
Fact : There is nobody with this name working for the newspaper. Group Editor is Shivasubrahmanya, Editor is DG Laxman. Since when have fictitious characters assumed positions in official posts?
Tehelka says : Masood's fault was condemning Bhatt's statement.
Fact : The case registered against Masood was upsetting the peace that prevailed in thr region by twisting the statements of Bhatt.
Tehelka says : Karavali Ale was Karnataka's most popular newspaper:
Fact : Evening newspapers are limited to coastal regions of Karnataka. This paper does not even figure in the list of top 10 ABCs of Karnataka.
Tehelka also reports – "They go around shouting 'Pehle qasaai, phir Isaai' — First butchers (Muslims), then Christians." [sic].The world around knows that inhabitants of Karnataka converse in Kannada. Less that 1% would expect Hindi slogans being raised here. If translation was his intention, I'm surprised why the writer took pains to convey it in Hindi and then in English. As already pointed out, the unmistakable feature of this Tehelka piece is the selective and one-sided account of events. This can be best observed here :
- Tehelka's journalist has made a reference to the withdrawal of cases against a member of Sangh Parivar. Why not mention the withdrawal of 23 cases against Christians related to a 'church attack'?
- Tehelka asserts that "State favours and funds are being directed towards Sangh affiliates. In November 2011, Yeddyurappa gave land in Bengaluru worth Rs 50 crore to six frontal bodies of the Sangh Parivar." [sic]. Once again Tehelka conveniently ignores the amount of money and resources spent by the same govt on Minority welfare. The Hindu reports here that the state government has begun work on a Hajj Garh in Bengaluru at the cost of 40 crores. Hindu also reports that the Minority welfare ministry was allocated an additional sum of 120 crores by the same government. How come such details always seem to escape the "investigative" eyes of Tehelka ?
The Tehelka report openly accuses the Kannada daily Vijaya Karnataka for promoting the idea of Muslims and Christians as "members of other religions". We humbly request Tehelka or the journalist responsible for this piece to furnish proofs in support of this accusation. Every Kannada reader is aware that the editor of Vijaya Karnataka (owned by the 'Times' group) openly says he is against RSS ideology. What Tehelka does here is just a hit-and-run job, instead of constructing Vijaya Karnataka as a target why doesn't Tehelka really go after the paper's real owners ? Or is Tehelka's daring approach only limited baiting vernacular language newspapers while giving a go-by to their real owners and other associated English language media houses ?
All in all with this piece the left-liberal commentary in this nation has taken one more tumble into the abyss of darkness and propaganda. It also reveals the complete erosion of professionalism among many a journalists who would go to any extent to forward someone else's agenda even at the cost of truth.

Hi After truncate the table, the oid retuned by PQftable/libpq returns the old value, and i'm not able to find it in pg_class, because the value of pg_class.relfilenode was changed after the truncate. The problem is only solved if i drop the table and re-creating again. Regards Rodrigo Moreno
