Prostitution Tip-Offs Prove Troublesome for Indian Police
By Aditi Malhotra and Saptarishi Dutta
An attempted raid on a suspected brothel by Delhi's law minister in an area that is home to a large number of African immigrants, raised questions about race relations and police powers in the city.
But it also highlighted the difficulty police have in acting on tip-offs about prostitution activity in a country where the moral boundaries are changing at different rates and what some call illicit sex is considered by others as usual dating practice.
Police declined to carry out the raid on the home in Khirki Extension in South Delhi because they said they lacked a proper warrant.
Some police officials say they have been forced to become more cautious in acting on local tip-offs in recent years.
At the time of the raid, Vijay Pal Singh, a senior Delhi Police official told The Wall Street Journal: "We cannot take law into our hands. We have to act according to a definitive procedure."
This is perhaps because they've been tripped up in the past when acting on local information about alleged illicit behavior.
In September, according to a report in The Indian Express newspaper, 18 couples who were found in "compromising positions" were rounded up from rooms in a hotel in the northern city of Ludhiana and detained under the Immoral Traffic Prevention Act.
Dharampal Singh, the police officer who led the raid, told The Wall Street Journal that more than half of the couples were released without charge after initial interrogation. "When they are caught, every couple says that they are there by consent or are dating," said Mr. Singh.
Police also say that following a raid, it is difficult to ascertain wrongdoing. Such tips can result in serious embarrassment for a police force.
In one of the biggest recent raids based on a local tip-off that prostitution was taking place, police swooped down on the Gopal Plaza hotel in Ghaziabad, a city adjacent to New Delhi, on an August afternoon last year. They rounded up 56 couples from the hotel for interrogation.
Locals in the neighborhood say that in recent years, couples flocked in increasing numbers to low-budget hotels there.
Prostitution in India is not illegal but activities such as soliciting clients and running a brothel are against the law.
The hotel's owner could not be reached for comment.
Months later, in November, police had not yet brought formal charges against any of those rounded up that day. In addition, two officials were suspended over that raid because of negligence of duty. Rannvijay Singh, the police official investigating that raid, could not be immediately reached for comment on the case in January.
According to Indian news reports at the time, many of the men and women were staying in the hotel were actually couples who were dating secretly, which is not uncommon in a society where families still arrange marriages and frown on premarital sex.
Ghaziabad police official Shiv Shanker Yadav, who led the raid, said they had no choice but to act on the tip-off because of the pressure from the locals. Since there is no prescribed pattern to establish the nature of the couple's relationship, any investigation can quickly become a case of moral policing, he says, and that "is none of our business."
The blue-walled hotel in Ghaziabad, which charges 950 rupees (about $15) a day for air-conditioned rooms with twin beds and has Domino's pizza takeout menus pinned to a felt board in the lobby, does not seem like the most romantic location. But privacy can be hard to come by for young couples, where many men and women in their late teens and twenties continue to live at home.
Locals say they were disgusted by the goings-on in the area in recent years.
"Girls and boys would often stand outside the hotel and indulge in public displays of affection. There have been instances where the window of one of the rooms was left open and neighbors had a complete view of what was going on," said Ashok Kumar, a resident of an apartment complex next to the Gopal Plaza hotel.
"The safety of my daughters and so many women living in this area was being threatened," said Mr. Kumar, who has been living in the complex for eight years, along with his wife and two daughters, aged 12 and 4.
Mr. Kumar's neighbor, Manoj Saini, 36, says he often saw young girls change out of their school uniforms in a vacant corner of the basement of the complex where his tailoring shop was located and then head to the hotel with their respective partners.
"They wouldn't pass off as adults in their school uniforms, obviously," he said. In India, the age of consent for sex is 18.
Mr. Yadav, the superintendent of police in Ghaziabad, said in an interview that there had been mounting pressure on the police to take action against activities taking place in the hotel. "It is our job to act on every tip-off," he said during the interview in October. "There may be some iota of truth. We cannot turn a blind eye."
Mr. Singh, the officer investigating the case, agreed with this in an interview in November. "This is the voice of the society," he said.
In the attempted raid in Khirki Extention in South Delhi, rights groups say they believe discomfort with the changing face of the neighborhood may have prompted some of the complaints brought by local residents to Mr. Bharti, the local assembly representative.
The neighborhood has drawn more migrants and immigrants in recent years, about which some local residents have expressed unhappiness.
Mr. Yadav, the Ghaziabad police official, said that his raid followed police procedure and couples were "taken out of their rooms for interrogation in a very respectful manner." He also said that police made efforts to establish whether the couples were in consensual relationships.
"We ask them for simple details — father's name, date of birth, number of siblings, phone number" of their partner, said Mr. Yadav, adding that police checked phone call details for corroboration.
If the woman is a prostitute, he added, "she barely responds to these questions."
"At most, they may know the mobile number," he said. "They might not even know the name of their male companion."

SUNNI rebels have battled their way into the biggest oil refinery in Iraq as the president of neighbouring Iran raised the prospect of intervening in a sectarian war that threatens to sweep across Middle East frontiers.
Sunni fighters were in control of three-quarters of the territory of the Baiji refinery north of Baghdad - the biggest source of fuel for domestic consumption in Iraq - after heavy fighting at gates defended by elite troops, who have been under siege for a week.
Taking full control of the refinery would give the rebels a firm grip on energy supply in the north, where the local population has complained of fuel shortages.
Loading article content
Militants have managed to break into the refinery and are now in control of the production units.
A lightning advance has seen Sunni fighters rout the Shi'ite-led government's army and seize the main cities across the north of the country since last week.
The fighters are led by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), which aims to build a Sunni caliphate (sovereign nation state) ruled on mediaeval precepts, but also include a broad spectrum of more moderate Sunnis furious at what they see as oppression by Baghdad.
Some international oil firms have pulled out foreign workers, with BP evacuating 20 per cent of its staff.
Officials in Washington and other Western capitals are trying to save Iraq as a united country by leaning hard on Shi'ite Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki to reach out to Sunnis. He met Sunni and Kurdish political opponents and then appeared with them to read out an appeal for national unity.
Mr Maliki appealed to tribes to renounce "those who are killers and criminals who represent foreign agendas".
But so far Mr Maliki's government has relied almost entirely on his fellow Shi'ites for support, with officials denouncing Sunni political leaders as traitors. Shi'ite militia - many believed to be funded by Iran - have mobilised to halt the Sunni advance, as Iraq's million-strong army crumbles.
Iran's President Hassan Rouhani made the clearest declaration yet that the Middle East's main Shi'ite power, which fought a war against Iraq that killed a million people in the 1980s, was prepared to intervene to protect Iraq's great shrines of Shi'ite imams, visited by millions of pilgrims each year.
The Glasgow-educated president said: "We announce to the killers and terrorists that the great Iranian nation will not hesitate to protect holy shrines."
He said many people had signed up to go to Iraq to fight, although he also said Iraqis of all sects were prepared to defend themselves.
Iraqi troops are holding off Sunni fighters outside Samarra, north of Baghdad, site of one of the main Shi'ite shrines. The fighters have promised to carry their offensive south to Najaf and Kerbala, seats of Shi'ite Islam since the Middle Ages.
Saudi Arabia, the region's main Sunni power, said Iraq was hurtling towards civil war. Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal, in words clearly aimed at Iran and at Baghdad's Shi'ite rulers, deplored the prospect of "foreign intervention" and said governments need to meet "legitimate demands of the people".
Mr Maliki's government has accused Saudi Arabia of promoting "genocide" by backing Sunni militants. Riyadh supports Sunni fighters in Syria but denies aiding ISIL.

Florence Welch Writing a West End Musical
According to the Evening Standard, Florence and the Machine's Florence Welch has plans to write a West End musical. Welch is collaborating with friend Sophie Hart-Walsh on the project, She told ES: "It would be amazing to get it into the West End. That's obviously the dream goal."
Hart-Walsh added: "We always used to write songs about our lives and sing them to each other. We always said we should make them into a musical."
Click here to read the full article.
Florence and the Machine released their debut album Lungs in the United Kingdom on 6 July 2009. It peaked at number one in the UK and number two in Ireland. As of 6 August 2009, the album had sold over 100,000 copies in the UK and by 10 August it had been at number two for five consecutive weeks.
After the release of Lungs, "Drumming Song" and a cover of The Source and Candi Staton's 1986 song "You've Got the Love" were released as singles, the latter of which also went on to become part of a mashup titled "You Got the Dirtee Love" between Welch and English rapper Dizzee Rascal. The two performed the mashup together at the 2010 BRIT Awards on 16 February 2010 and the recorded performance was subsequently released as a single the following day.

In Search of Instant Stardom
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]
ROGER ROSENBLATT, NewsHour Essayist: Say what you will about "American Idol," it has changed America or, in the very least, has crystallized a cultural change long in the making. The show is about instant fame, fame of galactic proportions.
"AMERICAN IDOL" POTENTIAL CONTESTANT (singing): Oh, say, can you see?
ROGER ROSENBLATT: Tens of thousands compete, most with little talent except for self-humiliation.
From fame to forgotten"AMERICAN IDOL" POTENTIAL CONTESTANT (singing): Like a virgin...
ROGER ROSENBLATT: A dozen or so are eventually chosen. The many become two. And then there is one, as the song in the chorus line puts it, one singular sensation. What happens to that one? National attention for a year or two, and then a likely fade to a little more than zero.
Of the hundreds of thousands who have yearned to be the next "American Idol," only Kelly Clarkson has really made it big. Compared to odds like that, the chances offered on the latest and most mindless TV show, "Deal or No Deal," look pretty good.
Yet these two programs are linked thematically as they are to all the so-called reality shows...
JEFF PROBST, Host, "Survivor": Survivors ready? Go!
From showbiz to the news bizJEFF PROBST, Host, "Survivor": Survivors ready? Go!
ROGER ROSENBLATT: ... "Survivor," the makeovers of house and face, and many others, because ordinarily obscure folks are converted to people who are suddenly seen.
CABLE NEWS GUEST: It absolutely is a cult. They use brainwashing. They use terror to control these kids.
ROGER ROSENBLATT: And those shows, in turn, are connected to phenomena outside show biz, such as the relatives of crime victims appearing for TV interviews immediately after the crime, and films of the crimes themselves, from a surveillance camera pointed at a thief in a store, to cameras mounted on police cars, to a camera present even at the house where the Duke University lacrosse team made the news.
Every life is publicIn the 21st century, every life is public. From publicity to fame, one small step. The lesson seems to be that nothing is required of personal achievement, but simply hanging around, no training, no natural gifts, no work, certainly.
The kid foresees status and riches leading from playground basketball to the NBA, though if he thinks about it he knows the odds there, as well. "But if I'm good enough, and if they notice me."
In some ways, we're living the modern version of Lana Turner being discovered on a stool in Schwab's drug store. "Surely, someone out there will make us a star, don't you think? Just keep that camcorder running."
Harmless? I'm not sure. The trouble with believing in the big, impossible dream is that it diminishes the importance of the small and possible ones: education, a trade, a skill, a job. Such things don't come with stretch limos and groupies, but they are the stuff of a satisfying and useful life.
"The beat goes on..."SIMON COWELL, Judge, "American Idol": Houston, we have a problem.
"AMERICAN IDOL" POTENTIAL CONTESTANT: Is there anything I could improve on or anything?
SIMON COWELL: Yes: Don't sing again.
ROGER ROSENBLATT: Simon Cowell is known as the meanie judge on "American Idol" because he tells most of the contestants to go home.
SIMON COWELL: There is only so much punishment a human being can take.
"AMERICAN IDOL" POTENTIAL CONTESTANT: No, I can take a lot more.
SIMON COWELL: No, I can't.
ROGER ROSENBLATT: Of course, he has it both ways, debunking the illusion he profits from. But he's right, which is why the audience boos him.
SIMON COWELL: Whatever you think about it, it was grotesque.
PAULA ABDUL, Judge, "American Idol": Oh, stop it!
RANDY JACKSON, Judge, "American Idol": Not grotesque.
SIMON COWELL: It was!
KELLY CLARKSON, "American Idol" Winner (singing): Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this...
ROGER ROSENBLATT: "Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this," sang Kelly Clarkson when she became the first "American Idol." A lifetime? You mean deep into your teens? Had Ms. Clarkson been the last "American Idol," the story could be sweet.
But the beat goes on. And millions -- millions -- awaken every day actually believing that life is luck and consists of the noise of eternal applause. Could this be your day?
KELLY CLARKSON (singing): Some people wait a lifetime for a moment like this...
ROGER ROSENBLATT: Not a chance. I'm Roger Rosenblatt.

Space Harrier Review
November 3, 2008 - It's been over seven months now since the SEGA Master System was added to the Virtual Console as the newest old piece of hardware to offer up emulated classics for the retro gaming download service, but over that significant stretch of time only four games from the machine have made the cut. They've been mostly worthwhile selections so far, including fan favorites like Fantasy Zone and Alex Kidd in Miracle World, which hint at the untapped potential of the system's back catalog. But the terrible infrequency of new Master System games showing up in each Monday's VC update isn't doing the classic console any favors, even if those games that have appeared so far have been pretty good.
Space Harrier Retrospective
September 5, 2008 - "Get ready!" Those two words launched eager gamers into the Fantasy Zone, a day-glo universe inhabited by dragons, giant robots, and Easter Island heads. The mission? Players zoom through wave after wave of these colorful nasties while clutching a cannon capable of bringing down even the biggest one-eyed woolly mammoths. The hero of this world is so powerful, he can even fly through the air just by lifting his feet off the ground and willing it to be. If that sounds like a crazy premise to you, then SEGA's Yu Suzuki, head of its famous AM2 division, did his job well.

Classic Master System Catalog
May 15, 2008 - When the SEGA Master System debuted in 1986, each cartridge and card sold included a colorful catalog of all available games, as well as glorious promises of good stuff on the way. These catalogs were like manna. Every other season, SEGA slipped a new catalog into the game cases. It was something of a celebration when you opened a newly purchased title and discovered a fresh catalog -- something to read in the back seat as your folks drove you home from the store.

After an unsuccessful attempt - Naa Ishtam, Rana Daggubati is back with Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum (KVJ), which is described as his re-launch film. This movie has two heroes - Rana and wonderful story. Rana has chosen perfect script to become a commercial hero and with his electrifying performance, he surely rocks you and proves that he is also a mass hero.
Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum is a high-octane action movie and Rana Daggubati's stunning acting is the main highlight of the film. Besides this, Krish's fastest script, Mani Sharma's music, Gnanasekhar's cinematography, Sai Madhav Burra's dialogues, wonderfully choreographed fights, Venkatesh-Sameera and Hazel Keech's item numbers, JK Murthy's art direction, Tirumala's costumes and Chittor Srinivas' make-up are the other attractions of the film.
The story of Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum is set in the backdrop of Surabhi Theatre, which is an ancient art form, which is on the verge of dying out. Director Krish has combined this art form with the contemporary issue of mining in this action adventure movie, which has a philosophy told in a beautiful commercial format. Everyone has his/her own perceptions and beliefs, but not many will lead a noble life. This film will teach you how to live a great life. Krish scores full marks for creating an interesting story and narrating it beautifully on screens.
B,Tech Babu (Rana) is the grandson of a legendary theater actor Subrahmanyam (Kota Srinivasa Rao), from Surabhi group. He is a typical young man and he wants to complete his studies and leave for USA. But his grand father forces him to perform one last drama 'Krishnam Vande Jagadgurum' at the Bellary Natakotsavam before he moves out of the country. This is when he bumps into reporter and documentary filmmaker Devika (Nayantara), who makes him realise the daylight robbery and alleged mining run by Reddappa (Milind Gunaji) and Chakravarthy (Murali Sharma) in Bellary. How this reporter changes a selfish actor into a selfless and courageous human being will form the crux of the story.

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio -- Cleveland Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving is going to make the best of a bad situation.
Although Irving will not be able to play for at least the next two weeks because a strained tendon in his left biceps suffered in Sunday's 102-80 loss at the Los Angeles Clippers, that will not stop him from making an impact on the team.
While he "can't really lift anything or do anything at this point," Irving plans to be a leader for a team looking to erase a five-game deficit between it and the Atlanta Hawks, who hold the eighth and final spot in the postseason.
"Over these last three years, I've had a few injuries here and there," Irving said. "Just being on the sidelines, I've just learned how to cope and be that vocal leader that I was on the floor. Off the floor, my voice needs to be a little stronger in the locker rooms, in the huddles.
"You have no choice. I've been knocked down a couple times this season, but at this point, it's about staying positive for my teammates and being there for them as much as possible. That's the most important thing on my mind right now, being there for them emotionally, physically.
"When I can't be out on the floor, I've still got to be with them, and I will continue. I'll be on all of the road trips till the end of the season. I know we have a chance to do something special. I believe in these guys. I know the coaches believe in these guys as well, and I'm going to continue to support them, 100 percent."
Irving said that the one positive from the injury situation was that it was a strain instead of a tear, which may have required season-ending surgery.
"I knew something was wrong when I came to the bench," Irving said. "I just felt a weird feeling after that play in my shoulder. I went back in and my arm looked a little different in the biceps area, and that's when I knew I strained it."
Irving does not know if he will be back at all this season after suffering what is his eighth injury since joining the Cavaliers nearly three years ago.
"We'll see in two weeks," Irving said. "I'm not going to give a definitive answer, so at this point, I'm just going to continue to support my teammates, be on the sideline. Whatever the medical team needs me to do and whatever's in my best interest, I'm going to do.
"It's a two-week evaluation. I'm just not doing anything. I'll be staying in shape, but whatever happens, happens in the next two weeks. At this point, it's about strengthening it again, giving it a little rest, taking care of my body.
"I'm really happy that it's just an isolated injury. A lot of shoulder work, a lot of work put in the weight room this season, that's what probably makes it more disappointing, that it's a freak injury. I'm just glad I protected myself and gave myself a better chance of having a better recovery being in the weight room as much as I have this season."

PRZOOM - /newswire/ -
London, United Kingdom, 2014/01/03 - Launch of software to efficiently recruit cleaning staff - CleanTown.uk.
High staff turnover within the cleaning industry is a well-known fact. It's been noted in some articles to be as high as 70%. An unreliable work force is detrimental to any business and cleaning business owners have reported a loss of 50% of their clients caused unreliable cleaners.
It's been argued that training and development improves staff retention and whilst this is true, it must also be mentioned that some cleaners take an informal approach to cleaning jobs. Business owners could therefore spend a small fortune re-recruiting to remedy recurring staff shortages.
Additionally, tackling hundreds of CVs from an un-structured recruitment campaign can deprive valuable hours better spent in a time-strapped small business. Moreover, the in-cohesive format of these applications makes it tough to identify key skill sets required for the job.
The entire recruitment process could be compromised as a result!
While cleaning companies should seek to offer training to their staff, an efficient recruitment process will ensure that they invest training resources in staff more likely to remain employed to the business for longer.
Fran Mullings, the founder of the Clean Town software believes that the way forward is a dedicated platform where the detailed application process for cleaners deters those cleaners who are just looking for quick money.
Evidently, these are the cleaning staff thats more likely to let business owners down at last minute. Clean Town employment platform is one such recruitment software for business owners, who struggle to address the problem of high cleaning staff turnover in their business.
The software simplifies the entire recruitment process all from a single dashboard. With just a few clicks, cleaners key skills are easily identified ensuring that the right applicants are shortlisted.
Any recruitment process for cleaners must include cleaners, said the founder of Clean Town and ignoring cleaners is the dominant trend up until now. However business owners cannot afford to ignore the key front line staff that determines the growth of their business.
Clean Town recruitment software demonstrates well how to give cleaners the opportunity to negotiate their terms of work. In a survey conducted in 2005 among 400 cleaners, they express that the ability to choose their hours, location of work and to negotiate better rates of pay brought job satisfaction. Bottom line and sometimes, avoidable reality is that cleaning is often a job of convenience.
Therefore, it would be unwise not to consider these factors when retention of cleaners is being discussed. It is important that cleaners feel valued.
The high turnover of cleaners within the industry is a complex issue but its important that the recruitment stages are fine-tuned ensuring that those dedicated to the professional will have a good change of being employed.

The result is that Exercise Biochemistry is a highly informative and illuminating text on the effects of exercise on molecular-level functioning. It presents the basics of biochemistry as well as in-depth coverage of exercise biochemistry. The book uses key terms, sidebars, and questions and problems posed at the end of each chapter to facilitate learning. It also covers metabolism, endocrinology, and assessment all in one volume, unlike other exercise biochemistry books.
In exploring all of these topics, Exercise Biochemistry makes the case for exercise biochemistry to have a stand-alone textbook. In fact, this book will encourage more universities to introduce exercise biochemistry courses to their curricula. Having the necessary topics of basic biochemistry in a single volume will facilitate the work of both instructors and students.
Exercise Biochemistry will also be useful to graduate students in sport science who have not been formally introduced to exercise biochemistry during their undergraduate programs. Additionally, it can supplement exercise physiology textbooks with its coverage of the molecular basis of physiological processes. This book is also for physical education and sport professionals who have an interest in how the human body functions during and after exercise. And this book is addressed to health scientists who are interested in the transformations in human metabolism brought about by physical activity.
The book is organized in four parts. Part I introduces readers to biochemistry basics, including chapters on metabolism, proteins, nucleic acids and gene expression, and carbohydrates and lipids. Part II consists of two chapters that explore neural control of movement and muscle contraction. The essence of the book is found in part III, which details exercise metabolism in its six chapters. Included are chapters on carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism in exercise; compounds of high phosphoryl transfer potential; effects of exercise on gene expression; and integration of exercise metabolism. In part IV, the author focuses on biochemical assessment of people who exercise, with chapters on iron status, metabolites, and enzymes and hormones. Simple biochemical tests are provided to assess an athlete's health and performance.
Exercise Biochemistry is a highly readable book that serves as a source for understanding how exercise changes bodily functions. The text is useful for both students and practitioners alike.

'One great birthday party': Governor kicks off state's 125th celebration
BISMARCK – Gov. Jack Dalrymple predicted "one great birthday party" for North Dakota as officials on Tuesday kicked off the 125th anniversary of statehood and unveiled the official logo for the yearlong celebration.
"It has been a very rich story, a very rich heritage for all of our people, and I think we are so proud of our 125-year history," Dalrymple said. "These are historic times in North Dakota today, with the record growth, the record opportunities for our people. We have much to be thankful for and to celebrate."
The logo, which features a bison head and sheaves of wheat, was designed by Eric Falde of West Fargo. He received a $500 prize from the North Dakota Humanities Council for having his logo selected over nearly 50 others in a statewide contest, said Janean Rambough, the 125th anniversary coordinator.
Lt. Gov. Drew Wrigley, who led the celebration's planning committee, announced two signature events, saying, "It's going to be a tremendous year up ahead."
An Aug. 16 party on the Capitol grounds will feature homegrown food, crafts, games and entertainment, including musical acts Tigirlily and Chuck Suchy, who both performed for the crowd of about 100 people gathered in the Capitol's Memorial Hall for Tuesday's kickoff.
On Nov. 2, the state will commemorate its official 125th birthday with the grand opening of the expanded North Dakota Heritage Center in Bismarck.
The planning committee is working with communities and groups across the state to plan additional events. Wrigley encouraged communities to organize their own local and regional celebrations.
The state Legislature approved $150,000 for the celebration, Rambough said.
South Dakota also celebrates its quasquicentennial this year, having been admitted to the union on the same day as North Dakota through a proclamation signed by President Benjamin Harrison.
One of South Dakota's signature events will be a covered wagon train that will travel from Yankton -- the capital of Dakota Territory from 1861 until 1883, when it was moved to Bismarck -- to Pierre from Sept. 3-19, with local historians speaking at each night's stop along the way, said Mike Mueller, spokesman for the South Dakota Bureau of Administration.
Mueller and Dalrymple spokeswoman Jody Link said officials from the two states are talking about the possibility of a joint celebratory event.
Dalrymple remarked that North Dakota is the 39th state – "one ahead of South Dakota, thank goodness." He also noted that North Dakota's Great Seal has 42 stars because it wasn't known at statehood which number state North Dakota would be. Montana became the 41st state on Nov. 8, 1889, and Washington the 42nd state on Nov. 11, 1889.
"So just to be on the safe side, we put the maximum number of starts on our seal," Dalrymple said.
To commemorate the 125th anniversary, North Dakota's Tourism Division developed a list of 125 ways for residents and visitors to love the state at www.luvnd.com.
The committee also is keeping track of the events on Facebook and Twitter at "NorthDakota125" and at www.history.nd.gov.

How does your garden grow?
Probably not without the help of pollinators, an endangered group of animals that affects food production worldwide.
An international urban garden project that includes Tohono Chul Park hopes to grow a crop of young experts on pollinators and sustainable gardening.
Their efforts hope to yield tips for creating successful urban gardens.
This week Tohono Chul Park, the St. Louis Zoo and the National Museums of Kenya in Nairobi will launch the P.A.U.S.E. Project, funded in part by an $86,000 grant from Museums Connect.
P.A.U.S.E. stands for pollinators, art, urban agriculture, society and the environment.
A team of 17- to 22-year-olds in each city will learn about pollinators, plants that attract them and the importance of urban gardens as sources of fresh food.
"What Tohono Chul Park is bringing to this is the agriculture, heirloom crops, native foods," says Jo Falls, the park's director of education and visitor services.
Using social media, video-conferences and personal visits, the teams will share information about their locations' gardening conditions and practices.
Each team will then develop urban food gardens with pollinator habitats for its specific location.
The Tucson group will expand Tohono Chul's ethno-botanical garden by adding Kino heirloom fruit trees, which were propagated from colonial Spanish-era plants.
The eight team members also will tend the park's monsoon garden, which irrigates crops using only rainwater, and build a demonstration garden at Native Seeds/SEARCH's office on East River Road.
All three gardens will have plants that attract pollinators. They will include an artful sculpture that also acts as habitats for native bees.
Finally, the team will develop a pollinator identification guide to distribute to the public.
"Our overall goal is increased interest in what's happening with native pollinators," says Falls, "and make people more conscious of what they eat and where their food is coming from."
Two of the Tucson team, whose members were selected in an application process, say the educational aspect attracted them to the project.
"It's everything I want to do with my life, teaching others about being sustainable and protecting the environment," says Lauren Nichols. The 22-year-old Tucson native is a University of Arizona student of conservation biology.
Meagan Horman, who studies environmental water resource economics at the UA, hopes to show why gardeners should want pollinators in their gardens.
"I think it's something a lot of people don't understand, how interwoven life is," says the 22-year-old Chandler resident. "It's a delicate balance."
P.A.U.S.E. for a moment
You can learn more about the P.A.U.S.E. Project at a website that Tohono Chul Park plans to launch soon. A link will be available on its website, tohonochulpark.org

MUSIC punctuated Mervyn Penny's every decision, triumph and defeat and carried him through life.
The eccentric father-of-two may be gone, but his memory lives on as his family, friends and the Folk community remembered and honoured him through song at a fittingly melodious farewell service.
Hundreds packed out St Andrew's Church in Shrivenham yesterday to celebrate the precursor of the folk genre in Swindon and Highworth.
Mervyn, of Shrivenham, died at his home on January 14, just two months after celebrating his 90th birthday.
The born performer, who up until a few years ago was still busking on Swindon's streets to spread his love of folk to the masses, was still rousing the crowds on stage four days before his passing.
The former Royal Military College of Science engineer formed The White Horse Folk Club in Highworth in 1974, which he led for 14 years.
Not content to play several instruments – including guitar, accordion, ukulele and piano – he was known to craft his own.
His passion for the stage, and knack for turning any social occasion into a gig of sorts was notorious and aptly illustrated as the service commenced and his voice boomed through the speakers, singing Today, a tune recorded with his friend Joe Packer.
Later on two of his comrades from the White Horse Folk Club paid a musical tribute to Mervyn, with a rendition of Scarborough Fair followed by the Highworth Songsters, who closed the service with Amazing Grace. His three granddaughters also sang for their late grandfather.
Despite heart problems and his deteriorating health over the last two years, Mervyn, who also was also known for his skill as a photographer and built or adapted nearly every piece of furniture in his own home, carried on almost as normal.
Speaking on behalf of Mervyn's wife Margaret, daughters Marion and Therese, granddaughters and fellow folk enthusiasts, his friend Derrick Beer remembered the multi-faceted man who dedicated his life to entertaining others, whether it be through history talks, eccentric guided tours of Shrivenham or his music.
"All of us owe Mervyn a huge debt of gratitude for his vision and encouragement down the years," he said.
"We will miss his humour, always gentle, sometimes a little risqué and usually very dry.
"On one cold thinly-attended meeting at the White Horse Club he was trying to tune his guitar with no great success when he looked up, peered around the room and remarked quietly 'Well it's not quite right - but it's good enough for this lot.'"
But his greatest achievement of all was his family.
"Mervyn and Margaret were opposites," he added.
"Mervyn was far more outgoing. But Margaret was always game enough to give proposed new adventures a try.
"So, despite her manicured nails and coiffured hair, they both went caving – once – camping in a fly-infested wood – once –and potholing – once. But they stuck together for 62 years. He was a wonderful father and extremely proud of his daughters. "

WWE Bill Of Rights Amendment X: Wellness Drug Policy and The DoghouseFebruary 18, 2009
We as Americans have fought for our rights. The road has been long and difficult, but we've made it through.
WWE superstars have had to fight for their rights, too. Luckily, the association has deemed the passage of some necessary. So what's the next Amendment?
Amendment X: Wellness Drug Policy/Doghouse
Ladies and gentleman, children of all ages..."Welcome to the DOGHOUSE!"
Roaddog and Billy Gunn used to excite the crowd years ago in the Attitude Era. They were the New Age Outlaws, and when you heard "Doghouse", you were hyped.
Unfortunately, the WWE's "doghouse" isn't something to get excited about. Thing is, there isn't an actual doghouse; it's a figure of speech.
The "doghouse" is a term used to say that a superstar is on bad terms with WWE Creative or the association in general. There are various ways to gain entry to said "building", but there are two that are more common than the rest.
First is conflict; even WWE superstars have conflicts. It can be outside the arena or it can be backstage. Some superstars overstep their boundaries when they give their two cents on other superstars or Creative; but we'll address that in a bit.
Suspension is an obvious consequence for bad actions. Randy Orton is no stranger to this. In his earlier days, he was quite a handful. He really was the cocky, arrogant character that he portrayed. He trashed a hotel room and had no problem telling people off. Vince & Co. were really trying to get through to him, so Orton was punished.
He has been suspended more than once. He even once received a 60-day suspension. The Company wanted to keep Randy, but they had to put him in the doghouse so that he would hopefully cause fewer problems in the future.
He lost the Royal Rumble and Wrestlemania 22, and then Kurt Angle "broke" his ankle so he could serve his suspension. And now, Randy Orton seems to have learned his lesson.
But one guy who still hasn't learned is Chris Masters. He got serious heat for violating the Wellness Drug Policy; he broke the rules numerous times and got released, as WWE was fed up with his disobedience.
Regal was another one who violated the policy and got his own 60-day suspension for the trouble he caused.
There have been loopholes, though. Edge and Randy Orton took drugs before the Wellness Policy was actually passed.
But the thing with those two is, they're too important to get much of a punishment anyway. It's the same with Batista and Rey Mysterio: They were also violators, but didn't really receive punishment because of their popularity.
Of course, superstars aren't only put in the doghouse for drug violations. As stated above, there are also conflicts.
MVP was recently in the doghouse, and it was rough. He's got a big mouth backstage and doesn't know when to keep it shut. WWE didn't want to take him off television, so they set him and his gimmicks aside for a while.
MVP had a serious losing streak and was losing every time he appeared in the ring. He was no longer the highest-paid superstar in Smackdown history; his furniture was repossessed on his show The MVP Lounge. Luckily for MVP, the storm has passed and he's finally out of that most of undesireable homes.
Shelton Benjamin also spent some time in there when he was running his "Momma" bit. Shelton was accompanied everywhere, including into the ring, by his mother, who was on a walker and needed oxygen from time to time. It was even more embarrassing than it sounds.
Many superstars look like they're in the doghouse today. Tommy Dreamer's one of them; the man can't catch a break. He's been losing for about forever now, and his future doesn't look too bright.
Cryme Tyme is close to being banished to that domicile of canines as well. They've felt heat from WWE, and now are getting some more. The association isn't satisfied with Shad's production, and that doesn't bode well for the tag team.
Carlito was in the doghouse when he was on RAW and was extremely unhappy. He did his time but got out when he went to Smackdown. He is now a tag-team champion along with his brother, Primo Colon.
There is also the Creative doghouse. A superstar can be put in there without drug or conflict problems; the WWE might just not have anything for their act. No story plus no airtime equals doghouse. Superstars like Big Show, The Great Khali, Chavo Guerrero, and Dolph Ziggler have all been in this situation. R-Truth hasn't been seen that often lately, and could eventually end up in timeout.
Christian might just join him, too. He left the WWE for TNA years ago, but it's time for him to earn his keep again. Some stars just aren't being used by Creative, and they get the axe. Victims that come to mind include Gene Snitsky, Elijah Burke, and Hardcore Holly.
In summary, we can look at these four storylines as the impetus for Amendment X: Randy Orton's backstage troubles (New Generation Era), MVP's losing streak (New Generation Era), Shelton Benjamin's "Momma" storyline (New Generation Era), and Cryme Tyme's troubles (New Generations)

Despite accumulated evidence that intracoronary bone marrow cell (BMC) therapy may be beneficial in acute myocardial infarction, there are only limited data available on the effectiveness of BMCs in chronic heart failiure.The aim of this study was to quantitatively investigate ventricular hemodynamics, geometry, and contractility as well as the long-term clinical outcome of BMC treated patients with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) due to chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Patients (n=391, LVEF<35%) with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy were enrolled in the present study. Of these, 191 patients (mean NYHA class 3.22) underwent intracoronary BMC therapy. The control group (mean NYHA class 3.06) consisted of 200 patients with comparable LVEF. Assessment of hemodynamics at rest and exercise, quantitative ventriculography, spiroergometry, 24h Holter ECG, late potentials, and heart rate variability were analysed. Over 3 months to 5 years after intracoronary BMC therapy there was a significant improvement in hemodynamics (e.g. LVEF, cardiac index), exercise capacity, oxygen uptake, and LV contractility. Importantly, there was a significant decrease in long-term mortality in the BMC treated patients compared with the control group.
Intracoronary BMC therapy improves ventricular performance, quality of life and survival in patients with heart failure. The effects were present when BMC were administered in addition to standard therapeutic regimen. No side effects were observed.

Album Rating: 3.5survivalism is good but if you go to www.myspace.com/saulwilliams you can hear his version of survivalism which i think is better in a certain, but all in all it's not that different, nvm. Trent is producing Saul's upcoming album which is out soon This Message Edited On 04.21.07This Message Edited On 04.21.07
It seems this album is getting a lot of rave reviews - I really need to check this out, NIN are a class act.
Album Rating: 2.5I heard the first song that was released and wasn't really a fan, but this still sounds very interesting. Good job with the review.
Album Rating: 2.5Survivalism is the weakest song on the album, easily.
Which makes me very intrigued, as I love Survivalism.
Album Rating: 2.5What's your opinion of Downward Spiral, Adam?
Album Rating: 3.5I'm glad someone besides me doesn't really find what's so fascinating about Survivalism. Anyway, glitch section in The Great Destroyer ftw.
Album Rating: 4.5Yeah i think Survivalism is the weakest song.
Album Rating: 4.0The Great Destroyer makes me happy

OfficeReports makes it easy to create to create charts and tables in your presentations and documents in the layout you like! No matter if you have your data in Excel or SPSS format, or would like to connect directly to your SurveyMonkey survey. This saves lots of time and reduces the risk of errors!
You can create your own layout definitions, and create your reports directly in the right layout. OfficeReports also has functionality for the more advanced users, e.g. weighting and statistical tests.
Using OfficeReports, you only have to do the hard work once. Almost everything you define can be reused, and that saves a lot of time.
– Once you have defined your "layout definitions", they will be available for all users, and for all presentations and documents.
– Once you are ready defining a chart or a crosstab, you can just copy and paste it. Edit the copy, select another variable, and you are ready with the next chart/crosstab. No need to define all options again.
– In the same way, you can copy a complete PowerPoint slide, and reuse it for reporting other variables.
– You can even reuse the whole report!
Share your reports. OfficeReports embeds the data into the presentations and documents. You can just email your report to your colleague, and your colleagues can continue your work. If you do not want to send the report to your customer without the data, you can just remove it.

Rocky Mountain Land Series presents Ann Komara - Lawrence Halprin's Skyline Park
Rocky Mountain Land Series presents Ann Komara - Lawrence Halprin's Skyline Park
Drawing on the rugged beauty of the city's natural surroundings for inspiration, Halprin created a signature landmark of sunken fountains, walls, and berms that served as an urban promenade and an oasis from the surrounding streets. This book honors the legacy of Halprin's original work by presenting the most complete documentation available of the park's conception, construction, and use before its total redesign in 2003. This first book on Halprin's modern landscape project features new photography, archival drawings, and original documentation.
The book was written by Ann Komara, with a foreword by Charles A. Birnbaum, an essay by Laurie D. Olin, and epilogue by Lawrence Halprin. It is the first volume in the new Modern Landscapes: Transition and Transformation series, co-produced by Princeton Architectural Press and TCLF. This publication was funded in part by a grant award from the State Historical Fund, a program of History Colorado, the Colorado Historical Society.

The new X Factor judge with Laura Brounstein and Lucy Danziger.
Interestingly, she said that the singers most copied by contestants during tryouts are Adele "lots of 'Rolling in the Deep,'" Bruno Mars and Lady Gaga – to the point that she was sick of hearing them. Those were the three she heard over and over and had obviously most embedded themselves into current pop culture consciousness.
Abdul also shared that she reads all her press, good and bad, and when a bad article bothers her, she puts it down and comes back to 3 times. If it still bothers her by the third read, she knows there's some kernel of truth that the piece is hitting on. Self help by clippings! Can't wait to see Paula and Simon duke it out on The X Factor on FOX this fall!
Do you think it will be the next American Idol?
