May's UFC on FX 8 event just added another matchup.
Brazil's Lucas Martins will face Jeremy Larsen in a lightweight showdown, several sources are reporting.
UFC executives have yet to make an official announcement, but the proposed bout represents the 13th contest for the fight card.
Ataquetotal.com first reported the contest and Tatame.com has since confirmed the booking with additional sources.
The main event of UFC on FX 8 features Vitor Belfort vs. Luke Rockhold and it will take place May 18, likely at Arena Jaragua in Jaragua do Sul. The event's main card airs on FX following prelims on FUEL TV and Facebook.
Martins is a decorated striker and was undefeated in MMA until this past January's UFC on FX 7. That is where fellow striker Edson Barboza pounded him out in the first round.
Larsen is a former cast member on "The Ultimate Fighter 15." He made his official UFC debut at The Ultimate Fighter 15 Finale and suffered a first-round TKO loss to Joe Proctor. He is coming off of loses to Efrain Escudero and Edgar Garcia.

On April 14, the Rush City Speech Team sent 10 members to compete in the Section Speech Meet in Milaca.
Senior students Marissa Belau and Beau Carlson both placed second in their categories, Extemporaneous Reading and Discussion respectively, earning them a trip to the State Speech Meet which was held Friday, April 20, at Chanhassen High School.
Belau and Carlson, who have consistently ranked high at other meets throughout the season, continued this tradition on Friday. Belau took third and, though he did not make the final round, Carlson placed 10th out of 24 speakers.
When asked about his accomplishments this season Carlson said, "It's my first year in Speech. My only goal was to make it to State and I did that. Tenth is alright with me."
Belau, who also competed in the State Meet her freshmen year, took 3rd place after making the final round cut.
After the results of her freshmen experience, she thought this was a little ironic. "I placed 3rd when I was in 9th grade also. It was just a weird feeling for me to place 3rd again."
Belau, who has been in the Extemporaneous Reading category since she joined the team in 8th grade and was one of the team's captains this year, continued by saying, "It was definitely a great way to finish the season. I feel like I have grown so much as a speaker and as a person. It was nice to end my senior season on a very high note."

Hi Lee
Great! email@example.com
And Nick Johns from Cardiff Uni has just offered to set up a co-pro academic network. I've forwarded him your name (but I think I only have your CU email address?) - hope that's ok. Exciting times!
Hi Lee
Just enjoyed your Time-banking article in Contemporary Wales - really interesting stuff, especially the issue about political or technical goals. Is it likely to be available electronically soon? There are several people I'd like to pass it on to. And you might want to link up with Katie Collins from UWE who has just joined the Wales group. She has just published a great paper on power and participation. You two would make a brilliant radical team! We could really do with a co-pro academic network to get these debates going - might just put out a call to All in this Together members and see who turns up. Would you be interested?

Fayetteville officer involved in fatal shooting threatened
Posted January 29, 2013
Fayetteville, N.C. — Police said Tuesday that threats have been made against the Fayetteville officer who shot and killed a man last Thursday during a traffic stop.
Officer Aaron Hunt tried stopping a Ford Explorer near the intersection of Morganton Road and Virginia Avenue early Thursday, but the driver, Nijza Lamar Hagans, 22, kept traveling on South Virginia Avenue before coming to a stop at the dead end of the road.
During the stop, police said, Hunt shot Hagans, who died at the scene.
The Fayetteville Police Department hasn't provided more details about the incident, and they acknowledged Tuesday that the lack of information might have allowed rumors to spread that prompted the threats.
Police withheld the officer's name until they could investigate the threats intercepted by the department's Gun and Gang Violence Unit. Threats also have been made against the department as a whole, police said.
"Officer-involved shootings are emotional events for the families, the community, the officer and the department," Interim Police Chief Katherine Bryant said in a statement. "Due to the sensitive nature of these incidents and by policy, the (State Bureau of Investigation) conducts the investigation into the incident. In doing so, it is not our investigation to publicly comment on. We ask that everyone remain patient while this investigation is being conducted so that factual information can be established through the investigative process."
Hunt, 24, has been placed on administrative duty pending the outcome of the SBI investigation, which is standard in police-involved shootings. He joined the Fayetteville Police Department in April 2010.

So have a Happy Valentine's Day, everybody! Celebrate with a "perfect pair' of books.
Lights! Camera! Action! at the Library

Kansas Children's Authors

Here are a few to choose from: Brad Sneed, Jane Kurtz, Lisa Harkrader, Dian Curtis Regan, and Richard W. Jennings.
Happy Kansas Day and happy reading!


text: Halloween is only a few days off. This is when we hear and read a lot about haunted houses. Would you believe a haunted restaurant? Those who run the place don't keep it a secret. In fact, they brag about it. The restaurant is Ashley's on U.S. 1 in Rockledge, a Brevard County town just north of the Treasure Coast. The Tudor-style structure, which dates back to the 1920s, sits next to a railroad track. But the strange goings-on inside Ashley's cannot all be attributed to vibrations caused by passing trains. Waitresses have felt something nudge them from behind on the central staircase. After closing time, screams have been heard, and alarms have gone off, but police found nothing. In the ladies' restroom, patrons have seen a young woman staring out at them from the mirror. Feet in old-fashioned shoes were visible behind a stall's partition, but when a manger looked inside, the stall was empty. Legend has it that Ashley's is haunted by a 19-year-old local woman named Ethel Allen, who was brutally murdered in the restaurant before her body was dumped in the nearby Indian River Lagoon. You can learn more about Ashley's spooky history by going to ashleysofrockledge.com. Want to dine there on Halloween? They expected to be fully booked well ahead of time.

ModernHealthcare reports that the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York has overturned a Vermont law restricting the use of prescription drug data in the marketing of pharmaceuticals to physicians. The court, in a split decision, found that the 2007 law constituted "an impermissible restriction of commercial speech." This decision contradicts an August ruling by the First U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston, MA, upholding a similar law in Maine. And, the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear a similar appeal to a New Hampshire prescription drug marketing law in June of 2009. (Registration may be required to access this story.)

Police post set up at May Pen Hospital
Jerome Reynolds, Gleaner Writer
A police post has been set up at the May Pen Hospital following the shooting death of a male patient at the facility last night.
The police said the post will operate on a 24-hour basis.
They further said it is also making representation for a perimeter wall to be built around the hospital to prevent easy and unfettered access to the compound.
The police said they will be partnering with the private security employed to the hospital to improve security at the facility.
Meanwhile, the Police High Command said the National Intelligence Bureau has been tasked to do a risk assessment on every patient admitted to all public hospitals with gunshot wounds.
They said this will facilitate briefings between the local police and private security firms employed by the hospital, which so that preemptive measures can be taken if necessary and this will become a standard operating procedure.
The high command said the police also will be working in partnership with the Ministry of Health to review security at all public hospitals, as part of efforts to ensure the safety of patients, members of staff and all who use the facilities.
Deputy Commissioner Glemore Hinds has sought to assurance that the attack at the May Pen Hospital will be thoroughly investigated and is appealing to members of the public with information to contact the Police 119 emergency number, Crime Stop at 311 or the nearest Police Station.

text: Hello. We recently purchased a twin house in NJ. The neighbor's side of the twin is split into two apartments. One apartment on the first floor and another apartment on the second floor. Our neighbor on the second floor smokes and we smell his cigar/cigarette smoke in our second floor hallway and in our one year old's bed room. We tried using spray foam on some of the holes in the dry wall that we saw. There is a brick firewall behind the drywall. I assume the firewall is complete wihtout any gaps but I have no way of really knowing wthout removing all the drywall in the hallway and hallway ceiling. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions as to how we cna handle this? We asked our neighbor to crack a window but he refused to comply. HELP!

At the end of the trip I gave each of them a fly rod. I wanted to take them on a float trip on the Green later in the summer but with the drought the water in the river really dropped so we didn't get out, but I'm going to try and get them on the water this year for sure.
All be it years ago, been there, done that on the Chetco River in SW Oregon. You feel 'eyes' on the back of your head and there's the father with two (almost) teenage sons. For context here, had my (and ex-wife's) second home in Brookings, Oregon. Week trips (we both had a months vacation) and would spend at least a couple of weeks there as well as 'long' weekends.
Back to page one.
Reel in and Adult type and his two boys were watching me cast and 'What kind of rods are those?????' Talked about spey casting, how the rods worked, adaaa-yadda. "Would you like to learn how?"
Eyes the size of dinner plates.
Had an extra set of waders/boots in the 4x4 so those went on the Father. Joan's gear on one of the boys and into the river we went. Father was a total natural with the Sage 149'er, the Lad with the 7136-4. Father was actually hanging the fly into the trees across the river. I kid you not.
That was a Friday afternoon. Saturday we meet up again, second Laddie has waders; other was loaded back into Joan's. Ditto Sunday morning.
Alright Guys, I have business I have to attend to for a few hours so keep casting the rods, I'll come back and collect them later. Truth be told, we had to head home. Didn't come back. Understand they contacted the RV park for .. and the RV park was under strict instructions 'I've no idea who you're talking about.' Folks in the front office were aware.
I hope they got good use out of that equipment. Purchased a 'new/aged like a good wine' 7136-4 and I understand why I loved that rod so much. With one of Steve's lines on this thing (no idea what the original might have been) you could cast this stick with a bag over your head. You don't need to see, you just need to 'feel,' the flow of the rod, the, the, the.
Like the expired Sage (no longer building same?) 7100-4 XP single hander. Will I ever drop $800.00 to find out they did it better? Probably not.
The last reel I purchased (save for SpeyCo!) was an old Hardy that may well be close to my age. Condition? "Perfect," pun intended.

Burnt Plate Oils are used to lower the viscosity of the ink. Burnt Plate Oil should be added to inks sparingly, as the detail of a print may be lost if the ink becomes too fluid. Burnt Plate Oil #000 has less tack and is a good match for use with Gamblin Relief Inks. Burnt Plate Oil #2 has a higher tack and is the primary oil binder for Gamblin Etching Inks.Depending on the printmaking technique, the inks may need to be adjusted slightly with one of our modifiers in order to print perfectly. Temperature and humidity, the type of plate, and type of paper all affect how inks perform.Artists studios are immediately safer when artists remove strong solvents, especially turpentine, from their artistic processes. None of our materials require the use of strong solvents. Gamsol odorless mineral spirit is the choice for studio safety in the traditional printmaking studio using oil-based inks.

NYC man builds igloo during blizzard, advertises space for $200/night on Airbnb
Most of the U.S. east coast was hunkering down over the weekend as a blizzard dumped up to 68 cm of snow in New York City, the second-biggest snowstorm in the city's history.
But one enterprising New Yorker in Brooklyn turned the storm into an opportunity to make a buck.
A now-deleted Airbnb property lists a "Boutique Winter Igloo for 2."
"Dripping with ingenuity and alt-lifestyle aura lays this Snowpocalypse's desireable getaway," read the description. "Come experience this chic dome-style bungalow with Bae."
The "experience" would have cost US$200 a night (CAD$284). The average rental listing in Brooklyn goes for CAD$247 a night.
READ MORE: Airbnb's 10 most desired destinations and accommodations
The listing boasted WiFi, air conditioning and space for two. Photos showed some blankets and pillows strewn on the snowy floor.
Another New York igloo popped up on Twitter, with the caption: "New studio apartment in NYC on the market. 2,500/mo."
An analysis by apartment rental search site Zumper found that New York City had the second-most expensive rental rates in the United States in 2015, just behind San Francisco.

Source: The Wrestling Observer Newsletter
Many have asked what ring gear Seth Rollins will wear
now that he is no longer a part of The Shield faction, meaning him wearing the
Shield-like vest is not an option. Apparently the discussion of what Rollins'
ring-gear will be has been a big topic of discussion among WWE officials since
the decision was made to turn him heel and separate him from the
Additionally, it's being said that Rollins is not
going to be a member of the Evolution faction, as it appears that the Evolution
faction — with Batista out of the picture — may no longer be
For those wondering, it also appears that there are
no plans to replace Rollins and add a third member to The Shield group, despite
much speculation and a WWE.com article that hyped potential
ORIGINAL: We can now confirm that
Seth Rollins' heel turn was absolutely a last-minute decision. However, a source
also reports that despite indications to the contrary, it was not a change from
a planned Dean Ambrose turn either.
The source claims that the hints toward a Shield
split in WWE Magazine (where Ambrose referred to his "former partners") and the
Payback post-match interview (where Reigns gave Ambrose a nasty look) were not
actually intending to lead into a heel turn whatever the speculation.
Basically put, it's not like there were plans to
turn Ambrose, but at the last
minute the company decided to go with Rollins instead. The idea to
turn Rollins was a last-minute decision, and had nothing to
do regarding whether or not Ambrose should be the guy — if any — to turn on

Economics of Nutrition
The main attention on the food front in lndia ts five year plans has been focused on the question of under nutrition rather than malnutrition. This pre occupation with the quantitative instead of the qualitative aspect of food problem is not difficult to understand, in view of the inadequate domestic output and low per capita consumption of all foods, low average calorie intake, and evidence of widespread "hunger" broqght out by diet surveys undertaken in different parts of the country.

Hawever, the basic approach of the Planning Commission to the question of nutrition, as indicated briefly in the second plan document, is based on a preconceived notion that "it will not be possible to provide nutrition at optimum levels to everybody". This presumption led them to the conclusion that "priority in improving nutrition should be given to vulnerable groups of the populationt"- such as expectant and nursing mothers, infants, etc. [Working Paper No.4]

Although Christmas time is gone and New Year is coming, the atmosphere of Christmas Homecoming Party will never be gone. That's the moment when sweet love and cozy friendship pervade everywhere and burn inside everyone coming that unforgettable night.
It's unbelievable but it's real, that all of you did form your own new family named: the Clause, the Fruit, the Bees and the Baubles. You had to find your family members and draw the family trees to understand more about the relationship in your family. And can you imagine the family of Fruit?? There are so many fruit there and if you are a member of the Fruit, you're sure a banana or a bean. Unluckily, in some cases, your families are such huge ones that you couldn't remember all the names and then you lose the games
Here is a member from the Babbles and she is wondering about her family members' names too. Everyone wish to have Xmas corner for your own and let's have a look at the corner of these 4 families. They were in such a competition. Their corners varied in many styles.
The Clause seemed to be very patriotic when singing out lout the song "Nhu co Bac Ho trong ngay vui dai thang.." in order to cheer up for the final match between Thailand & Vietnam in AFF Cup. They were so generous when fixing the 50k and 10k on their corner and said: "that's the Portrait of Uncle Ho, Uncle Ho is every where, Uncle Ho muon nam"
One girl in the Baubles is telling about her favorite corner with something like fried chicken and the twinkling candle around, especially the gifts.
Now EC create a new way of exchanging the gift: GO FISHING THE GIFT or we call GO GIFTING. Isn't it much funnier than just giving and taking back the gifts only??
Wow, let's see, all people had lovely gifts then.
Coming that night, you could enjoy the dance performance of 5 hot girls in Red vs Black. There they are behind the screen, still as hot and attractive as on the stage.
And more, more games like TASTE and GUEST the food, or Wrapping the Gifts. No word can describe the "CRAZY" mood of that Christmas Coming Home and no one can stop telling about their love toward others by thousand of hugs, hand shakings and photos.

'American Idol' Contestant Scott McCreery Stumbles Through 'I Hope You Dance,' Yet Still Advances
The country world is abuzz with chatter about teenager Scott McCreery, who relied on Josh Turner's 'Your Man' in his first couple of rounds of 'American Idol' competition. This week, however, he had to step outside of his Turner comfort zone and attempt another song.
He chose Lee Ann Womack's 2000 hit, 'I Hope You Dance,' which he barely knew the lyrics to. McCreery stumbled and stalled through the tune on stage and gallantly attempted to improvise, but it was an admittedly poor showing.
"Right now, I deserve to get cut," McCreery acknowledged to the cameras in an incredibly self-aware fashion. "I am pissed off at myself … the only thing that can keep me in here is my deep voice."
Apparently, that deep voice was just enough, because he is going on to another round. We predict he will brush up on other country songs so he doesn't have a repeat performance of tonight.

K-pop idol dons blackface in least thoughtful homage to Trayvon Martin possible
Update 08/01: G-Dragon's representatives has released a statement claiming that the incident is a huge misunderstanding. You can read more about the response on Spin's updated article and a portion of the rep's statement to Spin below:
The facepaint is only a color variation for his album cover which includes black, white, and red. It is in no way meant to be a political or racial statement…It's being derived by a simple photo shoot where GD was using different facepaint colors for his upcoming album.
You already know all about the Trayvon Martin case—I won't rehash it.
I am, however, going to tell you all about a little guy named G-Dragon. This is him. And that photo above, too. He's a 24-year-old Korean pop star named Kwon Ji Yong who Wikipedia informs us is not just a rapper but "singer, songwriter, dancer, lyricist, producer, model, endorser and fashion icon." He's basically a modern renaissance man. Rumor has it he's also almost done with his cure for cancer and is pretty sure he can cure world hunger too. If that weren't enough, he's also a member of the popular Korean band Big Bang who apparently non-ironically released this press photo. "Endorser" indeed.
But G-Dragon's life has not been all fun and games. In 2011 it was found through urine and hair analysis that G-Dragon had been (drumroll please) using drugs. Marijuana to be specific. That's right, the devil's grass, jazz cigarettes, the Pope's puff pastry—whatever you call it, G-Dragon was smokin' doobies left and right. His image suffered and he lost a number of endorsements which seems to suggest that the Korean hip-hop scene is a little different than the American one.
Well things had been going pretty swimmingly since then but now the Dragon's back in trouble: G-Dragon has Instagrammed a photo of himself wearing a hoodie. Oh, that's not so bad. Maybe the Korean star wanted to make a statement of solidarity with his American fans still upset over the Trayvon Martin case—by wearing a hoodie, G-Dragon is joining the masses of "I am Trayvon Martin" protestors demonstrating Zimmerman's (alleged) profiling of Martin based on his race and dress. This doesn't sound so bad, let's take a look at the photo.
Well this is awkward. So it's not actually confirmed that this photo is explicitly Martin-related, but I'm definitely confirming right now that this photo is of G-Dragon in blackface. Y'know, the kind that we used to love so much in minstrel shows because they showed how goofy and zany black people are before we started to wonder if maybe it was actually super racist.
Allow me to give Mr. Dragon a massive dose of benefit-of-the-doubt here. Surely this is just a huge cultural misunderstanding and the result of differing regional perspectives on race and ethnicity and if he'd ever known that western reaction to the image would be so negative he would've never made the mistake again.
What's that? My mistake, scratch all that. G-Dragon has been in blackface before, dressed as Outkast's Andre 3000, and you only get one chance to pull the cultural misunderstanding card. Turns out that K-pop is actually no stranger to blackface. (As an aside, Japan's not too great in this respect either. Here are just two depictions of black-inspired characters: Mr. Popo from "Dragon Ball" and Jynx from "Pokémon," now depicted as purple.)
Though I can't read Korean, Google Translate seems to show that none of the picture's comments indicate any real offense taken. Maybe this shouldn't be surprising as the photo has almost one hundred thousand "likes." I must just be missing the joke.
G-Dragon's PR manager must be the second least happy PR manager in the world. Then again, I suppose it could've been worse. I mean, not by a lot, but technically it could've been slightly more offensive…somehow. Go see Buzzfeed's article on the Top 20 Hilariously Racist Things G-Dragon Could've Done, as Told by "As Told By Ginger" GIFs!
With the verdict delivered, much of the "news" of the Martin case has passed, but the fallout is likely to last us a while. Be sure to stay tuned for my post next week on Carlos Mencia's George Zimmerman impression.

So what happens when the 'bedroom act' creeps outdoors? It gets people talking, ridiculing and in no time, takes the shape of a scandal. In West, sex tape videos, especially those involving celebrities, are getting more and more common owing partially to rapid technological advancements. India, a nation known for its culture and tradition, has been rocked by a plethora of such controversies in recent times. In this article, we focus on seven such sex tape scandals of India that took the nation by storm.
The godman and his unholiness: Swami Nithyananda
In the beginning of 2010, Swami Nithyananda's sex tape shook the nation. A tape carrying evidence of the Guru's adulterous activities first appeared on Sun TV. The video which went viral on the internet, showed the spiritual master getting cozy with a woman while watching television.
The woman in the video, Ranjitha, a budding actress, even attempted suicide after the clip got leaked in March 2010. The sex scandal resulted in mass enrage. There were vociferous protests by people outside Nithyananda's Ashram. However, the Guru's website was quick in calling the video a scandalous mix of graphics, conspiracy and humor. Nithyananda was, nonetheless, arrested from Himachal Pradesh in April 2010.
The Ashram filed a case against Sun TV Network, alleging the latter of telecasting a morphed video. However, the continuous telecast of the sex video ultimately resulted in the arrest of Hansraj Saxena, the Chief Operation Officer of Sun T.V Network. Swami Nithyananda's sex tape scandal was a classic example of the holy turning profane.
Pushing the limits: Narayan Dutt Tewari
At the fist glimpse, he appears like any other old man having a crumpled frame and baggy face. However, there is more than what meets the eye. Narayan Dutt Tewari, the 86 year old Governor of the state of Andhra Pradesh, shocked the nation by appearing in a sex video that showed him in bed with three women. For Tewari, both age and designation as the Governor of an Indian state went against his act.
One of the television channel went to the extent of broadcasting a half an hour special segment on the scandal. As Tewari was also a senior member of the congress party, it helped to make the matter even more worse.
The man in the eye of storm, claimed that although he entertained women at his headquarters, the delegations were mostly official. Congress party jumped to his support by claiming that the video was a fabricated one.
Secrets of a beauty queen: Anara Gupta
Anara Gupta hit the headlines overnight when a pornographic featuring the former Miss Jammu, came to light in the year 2004. The video was telecasted on several TV channels. As pornography is yet to achieve legal status in India, the beauty queen was arrested soon after the tape went viral. Anara was held in the judicial custody for several days.
So, what was Anara's take on the entire matter? The girl alleged a local cable operator, Narinder Kohli, of raping and introducing her to pornography. Anara further claimed that Kohli had even blackmailed her with a CD of the sex video.
However, the most tantalizing revelation came when Anara described a porn video ring, involving several of India's top notch political figures.
Where reel life meets the real: Shakti kapoor
For a man who has been portrayed as a villain several times on Indian celluloid, it did not take long to draw public and media to ridicule when a sex video featuring him went all the way. Shakti Kapoor, the man famous for his depiction of negative roles in Bollywood movies, hit the headlines when India TV released a tape showing Kapoor asking for sexual favors from a reporter, posing as a wannabe actress.
The TV station explained this as being the part of their mission to expose the casting couch phenomenon, prevalent in the Indian Film Industry. The channel was later ridiculed for being highly unprofessional. All said and done, it was Kapoor who bore the actual brunt.
The scandal prompted the Film & Television Producers Guild of India to impose a ban on him, that was eventually lifted a week later. Kapoor, however, went on to claim that the video was doctored.
In the headlines again for a wrong reason: Riya Sen-Ashmit Patel
Riya Sen and Ashmit Patel became the most talked about celebrity duo overnight, when a sex video featuring the two got leaked. The video apparently showed the young couple cozying up with each other. In no time, the MMS was suddenly the most circulated one across all the cell phone networks in India. The duo, however, continued to deny their involvement in the video, claiming that it was fabricated.
Politically incorrect: Mahipal Maderna-Bhanwari Devi
This story goes beyond the usual parameters of adultery and sex, to don a bloody and heinous image. No one would have ever taken notice of Bhanwari Devi's sudden disappearance, had that sex video featuring the nurse with a Rajasthan cabinet minister not come to the fore.
The video showed Mahipal Maderna, a minister in the Ashok Gehlot Government, in a compromising position with Bhanwari Devi, a nurse at a local hospital. Amarchand, Bhanwari's husband, alleged the minister of killing his wife with whom he had an illicit relationship. Twelve days after the video got exposed Bhanwari went missing from her home.
The accused, Mahipal Maderna, was sacked by the latter following the leakage of the controversial video. Although Bhanwari Devi's body was never found yet investigators managed to recover pieces of her belongings from a spot near Jodhpur.
A case the nation remembers: Delhi Public School MMS
The Multimedia Messaging Service or MMS became a controversial term overnight, when a pair of students from Delhi Public school decided to use the technology for circulating a sex video featuring the two. The partners in crime, both underage, admitted that the whole act, right from the sexual discourse to the shooting part, was consensus. Raviraj, an IIT student, tried selling the 2.37 minute long video on the internet. Being minors, the two video producers were not prosecuted.
The controversy prompted a series of discussions and debates about the liability and culpability of material on internet. The debates led to the banning of mobile phones in school and college campuses across the nation.
In later years, films like 'Love, Sex aur Dhokha' and 'Dev D' were found carrying the veneer of DPS scandal in their respective plots.

NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Greg Pilling knows how he'll make millions in manufacturing: Take his company's best kept secrets and give them away. For free. "I am going to attempt to use top-flight, on-demand crowdsourcing," Pilling wrote me about his new line of smartphone and tablet cases. "In exchange I will share the collective effort. And in turn, the whole world will get the knowledge of the thing." The Tucson, Ariz.-based "inventor type" is the founder of Sascase, an on-demand smartphone and tablet peripheral maker. But that's just a few of the more than 100 products Pilling has developed. He was a top salesman for pricey tool maker Snap-on ( SNA). He is also owner of a self-funded, 10-person truck lift manufacturing firm that has built 100,000 such kits over the past eight years, with reach into 1,700 retail outlets in North America. Talking to Pilling is like taking a crash course in cutting-edge, 21st century manufacturing theory. He's as comfortable with SKU spreads as he is quoting Chris Anderson's The Long Tail or Makers: The New Industrial Revolution. He relies on sophisticated fab tools such as laser cutters and on-demand design systems to offer a vast line of products. But he builds when only he gets an order. "Our Asian-made competitors can't match this, since most factories want a minimum order of 500 items," he said. "We would just build one if that was all that was needed." So why is this bright, nimble industrialist giving away the intellectual farm? "Since being copied is a near-certainty, going open source is a method to try to control the process of being copied," he explained. Here we go again, investors. Just as big-time manufacturers such as Cummins ( CMI), Caterpillar ( CAT), E.I. du Pont de Nemours ( DD), Joy Global ( JOY) and Deere ( DE) report overall positive news, it looks like the same no-money, "give it away and hope to make it up on the volume" information age economics are leaking into manufacturing.

I had an accident where I slipped in the pool and fell straight into the railing head-first, cutting the skin between the eyebrows from the hit. Luckily, a very good plastic surgeon closed the wound between the eyebrows. Now, after the scab from the scar fell off, I can see the scar completely and it looks pretty good. It is flat and thin. However, I still wish to treat it. I want to know which scar treatment product would be best for this type of scar. It is not raised, sunken, or thick.
Which Scar Treatment Product is Best for a Relatively Flat Scar on the Forehead? (photo)
Doctor Answers 3
Scar Treatment
To avoid dark pigmentation, you need to avoid the sun while the scar is healing. Please consult with your plastic surgeon to see what postoperative topical treatments (s)he recommends to minimize visible scarring. (S)he will likely carry special topical treatments that are otherwise unavailable elsewhere.
Try Contractubex for this scar.
I think you could give another week for the sutured incision to heal and then you start Contractubex/ Mederma/ Scarepairex creams over the scar.
Forehead and eyebrow scars
Pulsed dye laser and fractional co2 skin resurfacing will improve the quality, texture, and visibility of this forehead scar. I perform these in my office and have acheived excellent results.

Shantae: The new battle tower
Everything was peaceful in Scuttle Town. Shantae, the guardian genie, had defeated yet again one of the nefarious schemes of Risky Boots, who wanted to destroy the town and steal everything for her personal pleasure and gain. Shantae, as always, rose up to the defence of its citizen and battled the dreaded pirate to save everyone. As such, this made her a much loved public figure because of her willingness to risk everything for them, but there was also another reason.
To raise money for her to be able to live properly, Shantae was also one of the star attraction of the dance club where she belly-danced for the pleasure of those who would pay. If anyone asked her why she did it, she would say that it was because belly-dancing was an art and the people of Scuttle Town had an eye for real professional dancing. Others would say however the obvious: she was a gorgeous woman. It was true that she danced wonderfully, but everyone wanted to see her dance mostly because of how sexy she was.
Shantae, on her way to the dance club, entered the place. As per usual, she would be greeted by the owner, the ex-star of the club, who was a truly stunning woman by the name of Jean. However, this time she was not here to greet her. Curious about the whole deal, Shantae asked one of the other dancers.
-Does anyone know where Jean is?
-She went to the new battle tower that got built on the edge of the desert this morning. No one has seen her ever since.
Shantae, fearful for the fate of the owner, rushed outside in the direction of this new battle tower. The old one, as she remembered, was full of tough and dangerous monster. If she, a half-genie with magical powers and durability, had trouble getting to the top, she could not imagine what would happen to a young woman in her early twenties.
Arriving to the new battle tower, she saw that it was not very tall, having only four floors. At the door of the tower was a young man, bored out of his mind, waiting for someone to come and try the challenging new battle tower. Seeing Shantae come closer, he got excited, as someone finally arrived to take on the challenge.
-Hi there Shantae, you wanna try the new battle tower?
-Hey there, did you see a young woman in a harem dress like mine but blue of color with long blond hair enter?
-Yeah I did, she did not come out yet however.
-That's terrible, let me enter! I'm sure she needs my help.
-Sorry Shantae, you gotta pay five to enter, house policy.
-That's outrageous; someone could be dying in there!
-The house is not responsible of whatever harm may happen to its customer and...
Shantae, tired of hearing this young man talk, quickly gave him the five he requested. The young man, shutting up, opened the door, letting Shantae enter the dangerous tower.
Entering the tower, Shantae was now on the bottom floor. Ready to battle hordes of monster, she soon realized there were none. Looking around, she could see that there was a door at the opposite end of the circular room she was in. However, the door was closed, which meant that there was supposed to be a monster at least on this floor. Carefully looking around, Shantae failed to look on the ceiling, as the monster was there.
The monster in question, red of skin along with a snake tail, was a lamia. Clothed with a small purple bra, golden haired, she waited for the perfect moment to strike. Seeing Shantae release her guard and losing herself in her thoughts, the lamia striked, getting off the ceiling, she rapidly coiled the half-genie up, making her unable to move.
-Hello there young woman. Welcome to the first floor of the battle tower.
Shantae, getting coiled up in surprise, was stuck, the coils being very tight and strong, she could not move an inch. Cursing herself for her stupidity, she could only hope for this lamia to make a stupid mistake to get out of there.
The lamia, knowing exactly what to do, fixed her eyes on Shantae's, releasing some colourful spirals out of her eyes. Approaching her eyes from Shantae's slowly but surely, she wanted to overwhelm her and do it quick.
Shantae, surprised a second time by the lamia actions, could not look elsewhere, her gaze stuck on the colourful spirals. Losing her senses slowly by the approaching colours, Shantae began losing her mind as well.
-Yes, young half-genie. Stare at the beautiful colors that are released from my much more beautiful eyes. Lose yourself in them and relax.
Relaxing seemed like a good idea to Shantae, the tension in her body getting away, replaced by a pleasurable numbness. It felt good to look at the spirals, but it felt even better to let them in and lose all defences.
-Yes, you are making good progress, Shantae. Just continue looking. It is so easy and it feels good. Let the colors bring you bliss as your will is fading away. Cease to resist and let nirvana greet you.
Shantae, letting go of all her defences, began reflecting the very same spirals in her eyes, smiling as her mind went away, as her will caved in to let her become and happy, relaxed and blissful.
-Yes, such a good girl. Now listen to me closely. I will let you go to the second floor in a minute, but I want you to remember two things. The first one is that you defeated whatever was on the first floor. The second and most important thing, however, is that while you loved looking at my eyes, the person you will meet on the fourth and final floor has beautiful eyes that far surpass mine. Now go and remember nothing else about our encounter.
Saying this, the door opened up. Shantae, getting free of the coils, walked away quietly toward the door. Opening it up, she walked to the second floor, the spiralling eyes still active in her face.
As she arrived on the second floor, she snapped out of her trance. Remembering nothing much, she nonetheless knew that she cleared the first floor, since she was on the second one. Remembering something weird about eyes, she knew, bizarrely, that someone on the fourth floor had beautiful eyes. Confused, she looked around the second floor to see if there was a monster there as well. Seeing a bunch of deep water holes in the middle of the circular room and a closed door, she guessed that the monster must be in the water. Looking in one of the hole, she wondered how deep it was.
Looking through one of the water hole that connected through her small home, the mermaid saw that Shantae, the famous half-genie was there. Excited that such a person would be here, she clothed herself with her seashell bra and then combed her long blue hair. She needed to look her best for such an audience. Getting out of another hole where Shantae wasn't looking, she greeted her in a happy tone.
-Hey there, Shantae. You do not know me, but I've heard things about you and well...I'm a big fan...
Shantae, surprised about the sudden appearance of a mermaid and confused about what she was talking about, she replied:
-What are you talking about? Who are you?
The mermaid, remembering what she had to do, began singing, her voice being a sweet sound.
-Yes, Shantae, listen to my beautiful voice...
As soon as the mermaid began singing, Shantae was unable to move or react to defend herself. Damn it she thought, she should have known that she would use her hypnotic singing ability. Now she was probably doomed.
-You need to hear and obey...my mesmerizing voice compels you...to obey...
The more she listened, the more Shantae mind began to shut off, ready to listen more closely to the divine voice this mermaid had.
-You want and need...to obey...my desires are orders...my wish is your command...
Yes, she thought. I need to obey this mermaid. Her beautiful voice makes me want to. She needs me to. It is my duty and pleasure to do so.
-Your will is gone...your mind is mine...you belong to me...
Shantae, smiling, continued to listen to the mermaid and the truth she sang about. Her eyes glazed over, she was as good as enslaved.
-Congratulations...You have won the right...to the third floor...I want you to remember...That you have won...but not how you did...and that the person on the fourth floor...as an even more beautiful voice...than me...
The door opening, Shantae walked to it and then walked to the third floor.
Arriving on the third floor, Shantae snapped out of her trance yet again, remembering that she had cleared the second floor. Not remembering how, she did know however that the person on the fourth floor had gorgeous eyes and a beautiful voice. Taking a good look at the third floor, it was yet again a circular room with another locked door at the end. This room had some very lush vegetation, however, plant life being everywhere.
Shantae, looking around for a monster to beat, was anxious an in a hurry, as so far, she had not seen Jean at all in any of the floor. Perhaps she was on the last one. While analyzing her surroundings, she smelled something incredibly sweet. Curious about the smell, she took a good whiff to actually try to know what it was. Still smelling very good and sweet, Shantae could not stop herself, the scent being just intoxicating in his sweetness.
Coming out of a big bunch of leaves, looking at Shantae, was a woman made of plant. Having a very humanoid look, she had green skin, hair made of long leaves and leaves covering her breast area. Approaching Shantae, she released even more of her hypnotic pheromones, trying to cloud Shantae's judgment as well as her mind.
Witnessing the arrival of the plant girl, Shantae was already done for, as she just continued to smell the pheromones, which were now in stronger quantities since their source was now next to her. Unable to do anything except breathe in the sweet and addictive scent, Shantae was at the mercy of the plant girl.
The plant girl, seeing that Shantae had already fallen to the hypnotic might of her scent, picked off some fresh pheromone powder from under her leaf-hair and sprayed it straight on Shantae's face, then said:
-Smell this and listen carefully...
Smelling the pure pheromone powder, Shantae's eyes became blank very quickly, completely enthralled by the plant girl.
-You have cleared the third floor. I am sure you do remember what the two others said about their floor, so it stands for this floor as well. About the person on the fourth floor, she has an even more addictive and sweet scent than mine. Go now.
Shantae, listening to the plant girl, went to the door, then walked toward the fourth and final floor. Getting there, it was a circular room but there was no door at all. It was a well-furnished room, full of comfy cushions, a bed, a table with some chairs, a hookah and some big pots to store food. It was as if someone actually lived here. Trying to remember what happened on the third floor, she could not remember how she had won; only remembering that the person on the fourth floor was supposed to smell really good. So this person was supposed to have gorgeous eyes, a beautiful eyes and a sweet and addictive smell. Who would actually be the final challenge of the battle tower? Looking near the end of the room, she could see a throne with a girl sitting there: Jean.
Rising from her throne, Jean advanced slowly and sensually toward Shantae, smiling confidently along the way.
Shantae, taking a good look at her friend and owner of the dance club, had a very different opinion on how she was. Her blue eyes were simply stunning, very alluring. She could actually lose herself while looking at them for hours if she had the opportunity to do so. Her scent, which she could smell even from the small distance between them, was divine. Intoxicating, yet very sweet, it was too much for her. Falling to her knees before the beautiful eyes and sweet scent of Jean, Shantae saw how truly beautiful this woman was.
-I see that my friends did their job perfectly. How do you like my eyes, my scent and my voice, Shantae?
Hearing the melodious and uniquely sexy voice of Jean, Shantae could not respond otherwise than by saying:
-Your eyes are like two fascinating pools of wonders, your scent is as sweet as honey, but even better than jasmine and your voice is worthy of an angel.
Jean, glad about these answers, was proud of the works of her friends. Saving that mermaid from that lousy fisherman, saving that lamia from this unter and finally creating a plant girl capable of sentience were the best decisions of her life.
-I am pleased to hear you say so, Shantae, however, I want to hear an apology from you.
-You stole my status as the best looking woman and best belly-dancer in Scuttle Town, which was rumoured to be where the best dancer in the world was located. Since you arrived, people do not look at me anymore, only wishing to look at you and your beauty. You do know and realize now that I was always the best looking, aren't I?
Still under the hypnotic sway of the lamia, mermaid and plant girl, Shantae saw what she said as the truth. Jean, with her voice, her eyes, her scent, along with her flat belly, ample breast, full lips, smooth skin and long blong hair, was definitely better looking than her. Realizing this, she said:
-Of course you are more beautiful than I.
-Then you know why I am angered. Do not worry, for I have a way for you to pay for your sin.
Picking up a oil lamp studded with jewels from her table, she began rubbing it in front of Shantae, telling her not to resist.
Hearing the beautiful voice of Jean, she obeyed, not resisting the pull of the genie lamp. Dissolving into mist and sucked inside the lamp, Shantae disappeared rapidly from Jean's sight.
Having won against her rival, Jean rubbed the lamp again, mist coming out, taking Shantae's shape. Jean had always known Shantae was never a full-fledged genie, but she knew she could turn her into one if she was willing. Shantae, now and forever, was her genie slave. Shantae, bowing before her, said:
-Greetings, mistress. What can Shantae, the genie of the lamp, do for you?
-I wish, first, to remain forever young.
Zapping her with magic, Shantae granted the wish of her mistress, replying:
-You shall now forever remain at his age for your physical appearance. Anything else I can do, mistress?
-Yes, I will instruct you the very same way I have instructed my friends who reside on this tower what to do. I wish for a new floor of your conception to be added to my battle tower.
Granting the wish of her mistress, Shantae made the tower shake and rumble a bit. After it stopped moving, a whole new floor was now added to the battle tower, now five floors high.
-Good, my genie slave. Here is what I want you to do. Whenever someone enters your floor, I want you to hypnotize them utterly by belly-dancing sensually for them. As they become fully under your power, you will let them get to this floor, telling them that while your belly is gorgeous and your dancing sublime, the person on the fifth floor has an even better looking belly and can dance in an even better way than you.
-Understood, mistress. It shall be done as you request it.
Shantae, disappearing in a puff of smoke, got to her place on the fourth floor, ready to serve her mistress for an eternity.
Jean, pleased that she now had a powerful genie slave and gained vengeance against Shantae, had no further plan. Perhaps someday she would gain another mystical and sexy beastwoman or mythical woman to serve her and hypnotize those foolish enough to challenge her battle tower. Only the future can tell...

AAR reports mixed volumes for October 2012
October carloads—at 1,422,654—were down 6.1 percent, and intermodal—at 1,233,475 trailers and containers—was up 1.5 percent.

Mixed volumes have been the primary theme for railroad traffic in 2011, and October was no exception, according to data from the Association of American Railroads (AAR).
October carloads—at 1,422,654—were down 6.1 percent—or 92,601 carloads— annually. AAR said this is the largest year-over-year carload percentage decline since November 2009. And for the year to date through October, AAR said U.S. rail carloads are down 3.0 percent—or 380,739 carloads—compared to the same period in 2011.
The AAR said that coal represented the total carload decline in October, down 16.0 percent—or 108,210 carloads—in October 2012 from October 2011, averaging 113,600 carloads per week in October which, was the lowest weekly average in five months.
For carload commodities, the AAR reported that nine of the 20 commodities it tracks were up in October, including petroleum and petroleum products up 54.5 percent and crushed stone sand and gravel up 11.9 percent. Grain was down 8.1 percent and iron steel scrap was down 8.1 percent.
Tony Hatch, principal at New York-based ABH Consulting, said that bulk commodities are down for a variety of reasons, with last year's mild winter impacting how coal is being used and increased natural gas usage, with stockpiles from last winter still being worked off, adding that grain volumes continue to be impacted by the Midwestern drought this year.
"These declines are not happening because of the economy," he said. "Most of the cyclical stuff is growing in low single digits, which belies headline news suggesting the economy has slowed down, whereas annual rail volume gains are down is because bulk traffic is down double-digits in most cases. Minus declines in coal and grain rail carload volumes seem to reflect an economy still growing but not in a super-strong way, but stronger than the business headlines would have you believe. It is not growing like it was from 205-2007 but it is not as bad as 2009-2010 either."
And intermodal—at 1,233,475 trailers and containers—was up 1.5 percent compared to October 2011. October's intermodal growth represents the 35th straight month intermodal has been up annually, according to AAR data. But the AAR noted that October's annual gain was its smallest percentage gain in 14 months, and it said that the average weekly volume in October—at 246,695 units—is the second highest year-to-date, trailing only June.
On a year-to-date basis, intermodal volume is up 3.5 percent—or 348,709 containers and trailers—compared to the same period in 2011 and 0.1 percent off 2006's record pace.
"The fundamentals of U.S. rail traffic remained roughly the same in October as in recent months: weakness in coal, remarkable growth in petroleum and petroleum products, a slight slowing of growth in intermodal and autos, and mixed results for everything else," said AAR Senior Vice President John T. Gray in a statement.
For the week ending November 3, which was impacted by Hurricane Sandy, the AAR said that U.S. rails moved 278,320 carloads for a 6.8 percent annual decline. This is below the previous two weeks, which hit 287,104 and 288,791, respectively. Carload volume on Eastern rails were down 12.7 percent, and volumes were down 3 percent out West.
Intermodal for the week ending November 3 reached 224,467 trailers and containers for a 6.2 percent annual decrease. This was below the previous two weeks, which came in at 253,186 and 253,883, respectively.

Transportation of freight in containers was first recorded around 1780 to move coal along England's Bridgewater Canal. However, "modern" intermodal rail service by a major U.S. railroad only dates back to 1936. Malcom McLean's Sea-Land Service significantly advanced intermodalism, showing how freight could be loaded into a "container" and moved by two or more modes economically and conveniently. As with all new technologies, there were problems that slowed the growth, which influenced many potential customers to shy away from moving intermodal.

Teams from Northern Ireland were among the medals at the United Kingdom Tug of War Championships over the weekend.
The prestigious event was held at City of Belfast Playing Fields in Mallusk.
Northern Ireland emerged with three gold medals, two silver and a bronze to cap off an encouraging weekend.
Friday started off with the 600kgs under the watchful eye of chief judge Hugh McFetridge.
The competition was run in a round robin basis with the top four teams in each category going forward to the semi-finals and the hunt for the gold medal.
Northern Ireland ended up with two teams in the top four places and in the semis they met each other.
Northern Ireland A, a team from Bancran in the foothills of the Sperrins in Draperstown, and the B team which was Leos Boys from Benburb in Tyrone.
The A team were stronger from the start and claimed their place in the final where they would meet England B.
Northern Ireland B played a bronze medal play-off with England A, with the Tyrone men emerging triumphant.
In the final Northern Ireland A proved their strength once again to lift the coveted Taylor Woodrow Trophy and retain their crown as United Kingdom champions at 600kgs.
In the 680kgs Northern Ireland were represented by teams from Garvagh (NI B) and Bancran (NI A).
Bancran finished fourth, just one point behind third-placed England team.
Bancran would meet England A in the semis, with the home representatives turning the tables on the favourites and progressing to the final.
In the final Northern Ireland met England B in a gruelling decider, with the Ulster men pulling their way to victory and claiming a second Taylor Woodrow trophy.
The rain continued into Saturday and the 580kgs category.
Northern Ireland clubs Derryogue and Bancran reached the semis before both booked their place in the decider.
In mud bath conditions it was Bancran who pulled their way to the gold medal with Derryogue having to settle for the silver.
The afternoon session saw the 640kg category burst into action.
Southern 640 champions Clonterm claimed the gold medal with Bancran second.
There were other events over the weekend for the ladies, youth and mixed 4x4.
It was great preparation for the World Junior Championships and 50th Anniversary European Championships next year in Belfast.

A pub on the Bradford on Avon Marina that was empty for several months has reopened and created 20 full-time jobs after a £500,000 investment.
The Boathouse in Trowbridge Road, formerly the Beef and Barge, was completely stripped and refurbished. The bar was the only original feature to be retained after the two-month refit.
Managing director Nick Dent bought the Widbrook Grange Hotel opposite in November last year and The Boathouse in March this year.
He said: "I fell in love with the place. It is everything you think a nice town should be. I love good food, good drink and boats. I'm proud of The Boathouse and excited we got everything in much earlier than expected."
Pub manager Jo Carroll was landlady at the Tipsy Toad in Bulkington and The Faulkland Inn in Faulkland, Somerset.
She said: "I hope to bring a friendly, welcome feeling to the pub. We are trying to cater for everyone throughout the day.
"When I first came in it was cold and dark. I am so pleased with the end result."
Executive chef Philip Carroll said: "We have updated the front of the pub but we still want to retain pub food. Everything is fresh and locally produced."
Vegetables are supplied by Lovejoys of Melksham, beef, game and poultry from Walter Rose of Trowbridge, fresh fish by Cover Fisheries Poole and bread by the Bath Bakery.
Hotel guests will be able to come to the Boathouse and put the bill on their room tab.
The hotel has already had six rooms refurbished and custom made furniture is on order.
Its general manager, Christopher John, said: "There are a lot more plans for the future. It is a rolling programme."
The pub reopened on Friday and is open from 10am to 10pm serving breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Metal After Midnight: Crimson Glory "Lonely"
Crimson Glory starting off in the late 70's as more of a Progressive Rock band and eventually evolved into a Prog-Power Metal band by the late 80's. They never achieved mainstream success like Queensryche, but their influence on Metal stretched across the globe. 1988's "Transcendence" is often mentioned in the same breath as "Operation Mindcrime" among other musicians of the genre.
They were far more theatrical than many of their peers. They wore silver masks and never quite fit into the "big hair" mold, even though they got caught up in the fashion themselves. Lead singer "Midnight" had one of the most amazing vocal ranges as well, it was like nothing we hear in modern rock.
The band met a similar fate as most in the early 90's as most Metal bands did in the U.S., but reformed in the late 90's after international scene exploded and the demand for traditional Power and Progressive Metal returned.

Lead singer Midnight passed away in 2009 from a stomach aneurysm. Later in his career he experimented with different styles of music, perhaps one of the more interesting things he did. It was Midnights "Funeral song". He wanted it to be played at his funeral service, which it was.

He who hesitates ... might get a bargain
Buyer happiness influenced by how long the seller takes to respond to an offerIn the first article to examine bargaining behavior from a consumer perspective, researchers from the University of Maryland found that buyers gauge the success of a round of bargaining not by the final price, but by a seemingly innocuous non-verbal cue: how long the seller pauses before responding to the offer.
"Bargaining outcomes were perceived to be better when an offer was accepted after a delay than when it was accepted immediately, even though the actual outcomes were monetarily equivalent," report Joydeep Srivastava and Shweta Oza in the September issue of the Journal of Consumer Research.
The researchers explain that we tend to view bargaining situations as combative situations in which we either get the better of our opponent or they get the better of us. Thus we use hesitation � whether we are haggling at a flea market or negotiating a salary raise � to gauge whether our opponent is satisfied or conflicted.
"Although most bargaining situations require both cooperation and competition, it appears that for most individuals the competitive aspect of bargaining looms larger," write the authors. "Skillful bargainers may use response time effectively to influence bargaining processes and outcomes in their favor."
