Police say at least one person has been killed after an off-duty police officer's SUV struck four pedestrians in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.
Authorities say 28-year-old Nicholas Batka lost control of his vehicle on Bedford Avenue and it mounted the sidewalk, striking four pedestrians.
Batka was arrested on charges including manslaughter, vehicular manslaughter and driving while intoxicated.
Police spokesman Officer Brian Magoolaghan said Batka has worked 1½ years in the New York Police Department Transit Bureau Manhattan task force. He said Batka has been suspended and remains in custody. He has been suspended from the task force.
Magoolaghan said two women and two men, all believed to be in their 20s, were struck. Police say a man at Bellevue Hospital was dead while at least one other person was seriously injured.
Witnesses said they had the SUV surrounded and were shocked to see Batka allegedly try to use the fact he's an officer to get away. The deadly crash was just hours before Batka was scheduled to work at 7 a.m.
"So I saw this guy pass by me in a really bad speed, zigzagging and soon as he turned he jumped on the sidewalk," Uber driver Shakeel Shabbi told CBS New York. "I'm a strong man but I was shaking like a leaf. That's the worst thing I've ever seen… Never want to see that again in my life."
Another witness told 1010 WINS that it was the most horrific thing she'd ever seen with bloody bodies on the ground and one victim who "looked like a chainsaw had been taken to his knee."

MOTA, Javier; RAMOS-CASTANEDA, José; RICO-HESSE, Rebeca and RAMOS, Celso. Phylogenetic analysis of the envelope protein (domain lll) of dengue 4 viruses. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2002, vol.44, n.3, pp.228-236. ISSN 0036-3634.
Objective. To evaluate the genetic variability of domain III of envelope (E) protein and to estimate phylogenetic relationships of dengue 4 (Den-4) viruses isolated in Mexico and from other endemic areas of the world. Material and Methods. A phylogenetic study of domain III of envelope (E) protein of Den-4 viruses was conducted in 1998 using virus strains from Mexico and other parts of the world, isolated in different years. Specific primers were used to amplify by RT-PCR the domain III and to obtain nucleotide sequence. Based on nucleotide and deduced aminoacid sequence, genetic variability was estimated and a phylogenetic tree was generated. To make an easy genetic analysis of domain III region, a Restriction Fragment Length Polymorphism (RFLP) assay was performed, using six restriction enzymes. Results. Study results demonstrate that nucleotide and aminoacid sequence analysis of domain III are similar to those reported from the complete E protein gene. Based on the RFLP analysis of domain III using the restriction enzymes Nla III, Dde I and Cfo I, Den-4 viruses included in this study were clustered into genotypes 1 and 2 previously reported. Conclusions. Study results suggest that domain III may be used as a genetic marker for phylogenetic and molecular epidemiology studies of dengue viruses.
Keywords : Den-4 virus; phylogenetic analysis; envelope protein.

As Shantanu Roy (name changed) juggles many urgent deadlines in his hectic work schedule at an analytics and research firm in New Delhi, he lives in guilt and worries about being away from his ageing parents who live in Kolkata.
To ease the plight of several lakhs of such migrant white collared executives, a few companies including IBM, Deloitte and American Express have recently started rolling out benefits for aged parents and parents-in-law of young employees.
In January, IBM India launched the Senior Care programme, to help employees balance work responsibilities with caring for ageing parents and parents-in-law who require support.
Through this, the company offers subsidised rates for noncritical but essential care services that employees can request online.
The programme will provide escorted pick-up and drop service to elders for hospital/medical centre visits, home health aides or attendant services for 4-12 hour periods as back-up care, home visits by nurses for shots, as well as sample collection for medical tests from residence and delivery of the hard copy of the report.
"There was a growing trend of IBMers having elder care responsibilities along with childcare. We have tie-ups with quality childcare centres across major locations but realised there was nothing towards the needs of the elderly," said DP Singh, head-HR, IBM India/South Asia.
Through the initiative, IBM will continue to monitor the utilisation of various services within the scope of the initiative and update/add more services based on feedback.
The service has received multiple enquiries and has had a few employees availing the benefits in the first week of the launch, Singh said.
In November last year, Deloitte unveiled its Well Being Programme (WBP), under which employees' parents and parents-in-law are provided an avenue to reach out and seek support on financial advice, anxiety-related and other issues.
Advice is provided through an exclusive helpline."Many among the senior population struggle with a sense of relevance and isolation, besides requiring assistance with medical issues. Some may be diagnosed with a life-threatening disease and have no idea how to deal with it," said SV Nathan, senior director and chief talent officer at Deloitte in India.
"The helpline is akin to a counselling service, but it's also more than that it's an outlet for our employees' parents and parents-in-law to talk about issues they're grappling with and thereby be able to reach out and ask for help." Even though India is riding the crest of a young demographic wave, sections of its population are also ageing. By 2021, the elderly in the country will number 143 million, according to a HelpAge India report last year.
While the overall population of India will grow by 40% between 2006 and 2050, the population of those aged 60 and above will increase by 270%.
Seeing these numbers, a handful of firms is going beyond just maternity, paternity and childcare benefits to also extending a slew of benefits towards employees' parents and parents-in-law.
"This may not be a sole factor in attracting talent to an organisation, but it could help towards employee retention in the long run," said Mervyn Raphael, managing director of global human resource management consulting firm People Business.
American Express in India offers the 'Dil-Se' parental care programme, which also provides a 24/7 health helpline — an exclusive toll-free number for employees and their parents —to assist in the resolution of emergency and primary medical queries, booking doctors' appointments pan India, and getting health advice from qualified medical practitioners.
"The programme also offers customised preventive and curative healthcare packages, consultation by senior doctors and diagnostics at discounted rates to ensure that wellness remains affordable and easily accessible to employees' parents," said Vishpala Reddy, HR head.
The Dil-Se programme also includes concierge services, covering more than 40 services in travel, utility, entertainment and information.
The programme was rolled out following inputs from employees specifically requesting benefits for parents and parents-in-law. American Express is now looking at subsidised cancer screening and other advanced level diagnostics to be added as benefits under the initiative.
Handle work, with care
The move to include parents and parents-inlaw within the realm of employee benefits is a good move. It will prove beneficial for the employees and the firm.
With improved life expectancy, care of the ageing family members will be an important concern for employees.
Building in care for the elderly with the benefits system will mean that employees will not be forced into a position where they have to choose between work --or lising out on opportunities in the workplace -- and providing care. Offices, too, will benefit with reassured employees likely to be more productive.

From Hope to Despair and the Path Forward in Malaysia
The 2013 general election in Malaysia has come to an end. The poll was much-anticipated, with the promise that it appeared to offer the opposition, Pakatan Rakyat (PR). Pundits in Malaysia and around the world were of the belief that the 2013 election would be the closest in the country's history and that the opposition, led by Anwar Ibrahim, might have even been able to prevail on Sunday the 5th of May. But it was not be for Anwar Ibrahim and the coalition of parties behind his bid to be the first of Malaysia's Prime Ministers not to come from UMNO which has ruled the country since its independence in 1957.
The 56-year rule of the governing coalition is set to continue after Barisan Nasional (BN) took 133 of the parliament's 222 seats, a simple majority, with PR snaring 89 seats in the assembly.
Not much has changed since the 2008 poll. Prime Minister Najib Razak was hoping to recapture the supermajority lost by Barisan Nasional in the election five years ago and Anwar was widely expected to do much better than the results indicate.
Where there is hope for Pakatan Rakyat is in the popular vote tally. PR won that contest, but of course, successful gerrymandering of electorates helped to offset the good showing in the popular vote which needed to be more uniform across the country for the opposition coalition of parties to be delivered government.
Prior to and throughout polling day and into the night, as the votes were counted and the election called, claims were aired about vote rigging and other unsavoury, undemocratic practices. There was indelible ink too, which turned out to be quite easily removed. And there were claims of foreign workers brought in to vote using Malaysian ID cards.
There appears to have been a significant amount of contestable incidents during the general election on Sunday and the Opposition Leader will not accept the result. Anwar Ibrahim has called for a peaceful rally and the wearing of black on Wednesday as the country and the world continues to digest the result.
There is almost no doubt that there were significant irregularities, but even the most hopeful of analysts readily admit that there was probably not enough examples of undemocratic behaviour by political actors on the day to overturn the result. It is arguable however, that gerrymandering alone could have prevented or at least aided in blocking a win for the opposition.
Then there is the simple matter of the electoral commission being under the purview of the Prime Minister. There is little chance that there will be even a shred of a meaningful examination of the claims and more than likely none at all. In fact Prime Minister Razak has already urged the opposition coalition to accept the result.
It appears then that there will be a period of, at best a calm unease and at worst, small-scale riots perpetrated by fringe elements of opposition supporters. The rally on Wednesday will provide a test to see if cool heads prevail. But it should be used, for the most part, as a rallying cry for the next election in five years' time.
The situation going forward, beyond this election result, is a complex mix of factors, not least of which is Anwar's future in politics and the future of the opposition movement and how they organise. Then there is what needs to change in terms of government, governance and democracy in the country more broadly.
Before the election, the Opposition Leader had announced that this would be his last campaign. The former Deputy Prime Minister had signalled a desire to quit politics should he fail in his dream to be PM. This will without a doubt leave a large hole in the opposition which will prove almost impossible to fill, at least in the short-term.
Should Anwar Ibrahim hold to his pledge to quit politics, the real, the popular face of the movement for change will disappear. Politics in countries around the world is growing increasingly presidential in nature and that means that the hopes of political parties will increasingly rest on the popularity of party leaders. And Anwar Ibrahim was an immensely popular opposition figure.
The only other PR figure with such a high-profile is Anwar's daughter, Nurul Izzah Anwar. The opposition would have to seriously consider turning to her to continue the momentum brought by her father.
Another significant figure that Pakatan Rakyat should seriously consider trying to lure into a parliamentary career is the face of the Bersih protest movement, Ambiga Sreenevasan. This will prove difficult however, and is, at best, an option in the medium-term future rather than in the short-term.
We know what must happen in terms of democratic change in Malaysia. Elections need to be more free and fair and that will only come to pass with a strong and vocal opposition movement, up against a powerful state with the traditional media all in its corner. The gerrymandering has to stop and the electoral commission must be made an independent body, certainly not located anywhere near the reach of the Prime Minister.
Sadly, this part of the recipe will prove to be the hardest ingredient to combine in the mix for a move to a more open and democratic Malaysian society. Seemingly. the only way this will change will be if the ruling party of 56 years is thrown out of office in five years from now. A more vibrant and creative civil society will play a significant hand in this, even though they will be pursued all the way by the cautious, paranoid and power-hungry regime.
What happens next is crucially important.
Julia Gillard, Western Sydney and the Art of the Stunt
Prime Minister Julia Gillard is heading to western Sydney. From Sunday Julia Gillard will spend almost a week in Rooty Hill, an area of western Sydney frequented by politicians, particularly during recent election campaigns. Ms Gillard will temporarily relocate to the area from the Prime Minister's residence in Kirribilli where the aim will be to try to reach out to some of Australia's most important voters. The move is one of the most obvious examples of a stunt that you could find. But not only that, the mini campaign smacks of desperation and the timing of the visit is incredibly poor.
The poll numbers are bad for the Australian Labor Party and even the Prime Minister's political stocks are falling against a more positive Opposition Leader in Tony Abbott. The latest Newspoll has the ALP two-party preferred numbers at 55% to 45% in the Coalition's favour. But it gets worse for the government, because that poll also suggests that 80% of voters have already firmly made up their minds. It would be a brave punter backing a Labor victory at the September 14 poll.
Desperate times have certainly resulted in a desperate measure when it comes to Julia Gillard's little sojourn to the western part of Australia's biggest city. Nothing looks more desperate than the most senior government MP spending a week in an electorally important area at any stage in the electoral cycle, let alone this far out from the poll.
The announcement of Ms Gillard's intentions could not have come at a worse time. Just a matter of weeks ago, the PM nominated a firm date for the 2013 election. During that speech at the National Press Club, the Prime Minister remarked that her decision to call the election this early would clearly lead to a differentiation between the days where the government would be engaging in the task of governing the country and those days where it would be campaigning for re-election. Well, it is now clear that mantra has been thrown out. Next week will be a week of campaigning on the part of the Prime Minister.
Let's be honest though – regardless of Julia Gillard's words, we were still going to be in campaign mode. In fact, we have been in campaign mode since day one of the 43rd parliament. Most of that campaigning has been coming from the opposition, but nonetheless, the naming of the election date will only give rise to more feverish campaigning, particularly on the Labor side of politics. Both the Liberal and National Parties will continue to campaign, as they have now for over two years.
Julia Gillard's sudden immense interest in western Sydney, if not an act of abject desperation, is a stunt. Well actually, it's almost certainly both an act of desperation as well as a stunt, a public relations exercise – call it what you will. That is a pretty lethal combination.
It is true that all politicians engage in stunts. Politicians often take part in stunts on a daily basis. Even press conferences can be little more than stunts from time to time. The hard-hat however seems to be the prop of choice for political stunts, albeit a necessary one – most of the time.
Voters are generally very cynical about even the most tame of stunts engaged in by our elected representatives. Most of us wish they were not a feature of politics, but they are an unfortunate but necessary reality. They are aimed at the less politically attuned. Political displays are used as a subliminal tool to try to convince the unwary voter of the bona fides' of politicians.
A stunt should look more natural to even the most discerning voter. Political grandstanding is always going to look a little ugly to the clued up elector. Subtlety is the key to faux displays of political action. There is nothing subtle about the Prime Minister spending five days in an area across town from her residence, when we know how important western Sydney is.
A very helpful point was made on The Drum tonight. One of the guests remarked that it was odd of the PM to decide to stay in western Sydney rather than make the daily commute. The argument was that the daily drive would have shown just how difficult it is to commute between the city and the suburbs. And that is true. Infrastructure and overcrowding is a big issue in Sydney, and increasingly so in the west of the harbour city.
Some very dodgy and panicked choices have been made by the Prime Minister and Labor and they have all been painfully obvious to the electorate. A more subtle approach to western Sydney would have been appropriate, though as it is – the little campaign on the other side of town will matter very little in the bigger picture.
What to Look Forward to in Australian Politics This Year
Okay, so for some the title of this post will perhaps be a bit of a misnomer. There will be some that are really looking forward to what 2013 means in terms of Australian politics, and there will be others that have greeted the start of 2013 with a sense of dread. Regardless, it's going to be an epic year on the frontline of the political battle, with the coming months a winner takes all period in politics.
So why will some think of politics in 2013 with a sense of foreboding, and others with a feeling of political glee? In short, it's because of an event, an 8 letter word starting with 'e'. Give up? Of course you don't. You're thinking, well duh, he's clearly talking about the federal election. And you would be 100% correct.
Coalition supporters and those swinging voters that have long switched off Labor are itching to have their say at the ballot box. On the other side, you have some Labor supporters that think the job can still be done, who are relishing the contest. Then you have others who feel the election is lost- and it almost certainly is.
The election year will bring something that was conspicuously absent in 2012 and that is serious policy announcements and refinement of existing policies. The politics of personality will still be played and pursued with the same level of vim and vigour as it was last year, but at least there will be a much more positive side to the political discourse as the election- likely sometime from August, approaches.
But with the good of an election year also comes the not so good. Promises will be made and most kept. However, some will inevitably be broken. In years gone by, we had 'core' and 'non-core' promises, but this has been replaced. We still have policies readily announced, to be implemented as soon as possible, but now in the political lexicon we have a little something called 'aspirational' policies. The latter are policies that are usually big commitments and worth implementing, but because of fiscal concerns will be flagged as something for the future. But like non-core promises, surely some will never, ever be introduced.
This election year, do not expect big-spending promises- well, at least not new ones anyway. Expect the Opposition, as they have since the early days of the Labor Government, to spend a significant amount of time focusing on the budget position. According to the polls, good economic management is something strongly associated with the right side of the political spectrum, so why wouldn't the Coalition take every chance to prosecute this?
Election years also bring carefully targeted spending commitments from governments struggling to maintain their grasp on power and that will not be any different, despite the poll result appearing to be a fait accompli.
Aside from the budget, expect taxation, chiefly the carbon price and the Minerals Resource Rent Tax, to continue to be a major feature in the political to-and-fro. According to the polls, the former is becoming less of an issue for the government, though still it still at this stage presents a problem.
Budget and taxation aside, the election campaign, which feels like it has already been going for some time will largely be a case of both sides of the spectrum trying to position themselves as stable and able to provide effective government.
Like any given year, whether there is an election pending or not, parliamentary sessions take place. Expect the commonwealth parliament to be a slightly different beast, but not altogether foreign to those of us who observed parliamentary politics in 2012. Undoubtedly there will be much more substance in the parliamentary debate this year, but the same noise and antics will be an ever-present feature, with the theatre that is parliament convening for the first time this year in early February. But of course, the election is all that just about anyone in the general public cares about.
It's only early January and things are yet to heat up, apart from the weather. But do not let the relative silence fool you, because 2013 is set to be one frenetic year. The election is the event to look forward to this year. Then again, maybe not.
Bounce, Bounce, Come On Bounce
The latest Newspoll continues to outline the grim and growing reality facing the Australian Labor Party, that barring a major fiasco tainting the Opposition, their hopes for winning the next election, due in 2013 are sinking further and further past the already toxic level it appears they have reached. The commentariat, including those that often are sympathetic toward an ALP Government seem to have roundly deserted praising and supporting the party in the press. This has been particularly the case since the events of the weekend when Craig Thomson and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Peter Slipper, both facing allegations of wrongdoing, were encouraged to appear to ostracise themselves.
The primary vote for the Coalition in the latest Newspoll has hit over 50% of the votes on offer if the polls are to be believed to indicate and mirror electoral reality exactly, now sitting at 51%. The Labor primary vote in the Newspoll released overnight now sits on 27%, close to half that of the Abbott-led Coalition and well into the electoral "death zone".
In two-party-preferred terms the results could barely get any worse for the Gillard Government, with the 2PP vote now being 59% for the Liberal and National Party Opposition compared to 41% for the government, a result in itself which barely sees the government outside the zone for electoral disaster on two-party terms.
Even in the measure where the Prime Minister could draw at least some form of optimism if not for the hopes of the party, but for her leadership as compared with that of Tony Abott for the Liberal Party provides less cause for optimism. In the preferred Prime Minister stakes, Prime Minister Gillard has dropped 3% to sit on 36% as opposed to Opposition Leader Tony Abbott who now sits on 41%, a 5 percentage point lead.
Surely the ALP will be saying internally to the polls to "bounce, bounce, come on bounce", particularly after the budget is delivered on May 8th and after the announcement yesterday that the NDIS, which is projected to help over 400,000 families will commence a year earlier at 4 "launch sites" across Autralia, initially helping 10,000 Australians, but with a "tough budget" supposed to occur, that will likely not turn into a political reality.

This weekend's Gospel tells of Jesus' return to his hometown and people's negative reaction to "one of their own".
What is a prophet? Is it someone who tells the future?
Is it one of those mysterious people who ask you to cross their hands with silver so that they can read the lines of your life story? Someone maybe who could tell you the exact numbers you'll need for next week's Lotto? Is a prophet someone who can tell us the weather forecast for the next six months? No, a prophet is not found among this group.
A prophet is often one who disturbs us because his or her words seek a response that may include action. A prophet might sometimes point out our weakness in the hope we'll claim our strength. A prophet might speak of the local in the hope that we'll shape the global. A prophet might whistle a bitter tune so that we might sing a sweeter song. A prophet is often very annoying and frequently unpopular.
Chances are there are prophets in our parish. People asking us to do better, achieve more, gossip less, work together, build up, pray, and recognise the gifts we have been given. There may be people who have vision for our community – for our parish – for our Faith and they're local. Some of them might be ordained or professed but chances are most are not. We know them.
They have something to say. They may well annoy us. We may well disappoint them. The question is: "Are they welcome?"

You at 34 weeks pregnant
You're probably feeling more and more uncomfortable as baby's weight continues to increase. Healthy eating and some light exercise might help you feel better. Keep doing your pelvic floor exercises.
You might notice more Braxton Hicks contractions now.
Rh type
A blood test done earlier in pregnancy will let you know your Rh type.
If you're Rh-negative, and your baby turns out to be Rh-positive, this can cause serious health problems for your baby. But no-one knows what your baby's blood type is until after birth. So if you're Rh-negative, you'll be offered a special injection called Anti-D at your 26-28 week antenatal visit and your 34-36 week visit.
You'll also be offered Anti-D if you have a bleed during pregnancy. This reduces the risks of health problems.
After your baby is born, blood is collected from your baby's umbilical cord and the Rh type is checked. You'll have another Anti-D injection if your baby is Rh-positive.
Ask your doctor or midwife for more information.
Pre-eclampsia is a serious condition that affects up to 15% of pregnant women and can occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
If you have pre-eclampsia, or another reason for a high-risk pregnancy, you might need to see your health professionals more often from now.
Symptoms of pre-eclampsia include:
- severe headache
- pain in your tummy area
- changes in your vision – for example, blurred vision
- severe, sudden swelling of the hands, feet, ankles and face
- high blood pressure and protein in your urine.
Your baby when you're 34 weeks pregnant
There isn't much room for your baby to move now:
- Your baby is about 30 cm from head to bottom and weighs about 2.1 kg.
- Your baby's immune system is developing.
- Your baby can swallow up to 1 litre of amniotic fluid a day, and pass the same amount of urine.
- Your baby can do big kicks and roll over. This might feel a bit uncomfortable for you.

My home, my sweet little cozy home.
It was 6 in the morning, I made two cups of tea and then i whispered "wake up momo, wake up i made tea for you" into her ears, she woke up as adorable as she would daily. Her messy hair made her look like a barbie doll throwing a tantrum. she hugged me and kissed me and all I did was gave a huge smile to that cute mess. While i was reading the newspaper she called me saying "Kiddo! get me my towel na" and instead of taking the towel, She pulled me in.
Tring tring! the door opened, she took me in her arms once she saw my dull face. The warmth of her hug got rid of all my day's tiredness. I lifted her up in the air, our eyes locked and her hair fell around us froming a small sphere of love, I kissed her. I freshened up and cooked and every time i cook she sits on the kitchen table and just watch me cooking. Post-dinner we had some wine with a soft French song in the background to which she steeped on my feet and danced. She explained that it was her dream to dance in such a manner with me on a beach. On the bed I read her my favourite book and when she got sleepy, I kissed her good night and cuddled.
Next day she woke up and instantly her eyes gleamed with happiness as she saw the keys for The Royal Enfield on which she always wanted The Goa trip. She sat up straight on the bed, looked directly into my eyes and spoke softly "I love you my Kiddo" and jumped on me!
Although it was a long ride, we took a lot of stops witnessing a lot of soulful places and then we reached the sea side bungalow. It was my friends bungalow that I borrowed for this weekend. I showed her the bed room, the moment she entered she started to smile and blush uncontrollably as there was the red dress which she always wanted to buy and stuck to the maniquine was a note which read as,
My whole life, I would ride with one hand until the other one is holding yours, I know you deserve the world but I can only give you the second best thing, My World and if my world needs something then it's hers
– with love K A B I R A.
I could not take my eyes off her when finally she came down. I was standing on the beach wearing a black 3-peice suit, gelled up hair and a bottle of wine aside a beautiful table. Her dress was of 2 parts a red crop top and a red full length frock which made her look elegant and super cute at the same time.
She walked slowly and shyfully. Her face tilted downwards had a pink blush. I stood speechless as my mind was suck in her timeline, I forgot what to say and kept staring her. I moved closer and so did she, without uttering a single word. She stepped on my feet and slowly raised her heels only bringing her face closer to mine. Our breaths met, the world to us was pointless now and the rest of all sounds and visual faded away.
I placed my left hand on her bare navel, my touch sparked a flame in her body and face. Our body heat increased and all other senses stopped working. Without losing the touch I moved my hand all the way to her back crossing her perfectly curved belly. In an instant I pulled her closer to me Completely and our bodies touched. We could hear our heart beat synchronize and our breath stopping for a second and then start heavily. I took her right hand and started to move slowly to her favourite soft French song. After a minute our eyes met, both held the gaze and during it she started to bring her lips closer to mine. When those baby lips touched mine, we lost the sense of reality!
This is the first part of the series "MOMO LOVES KIDDO"

Special thanks from Geoff Graham:
I am grateful for so much. The list is too long! I'll leave it at this: I'm grateful for every single one of our 2,300+ Guildmembers, and I am especially grateful for the 83 pioneering companies who have been with us for more than 10 years. Those 83 joined GuildQuality when the business was very young; we saw each other through the recession, and they've helped us to grow into the company we are today. Over the last few months, I have had the great pleasure to see many of them at a few industry events, and their handshakes and hugs have meant a lot. I'm deeply honored that they allow GuildQuality to support them in their continued pursuit of excellence.

text: Emmys: Jon Hamm Wins Lead Actor in a Drama Series 7:43 PM PDT 9/20/2015 by THR staff FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME YOUTUBE Andy Samberg hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night. Jon Hamm took home the Emmy for lead actor in a drama series for his performance in Mad Men at Sunday night's ceremony. Hamm beat out Kyle Chandler (Bloodline), Jeff Daniels (Newsroom), Bob Odenkirk (Better Call Saul), Liev Schreiber (Ray Donovan) and Kevin Spacey (House of Cards) to win the award. Before walking to the podium to accept his award, Hamm rolled himself onto the stage as if dragging himself to the finish line of a long race — which of course it was; after 16 Emmy total nominations (eight straight for lead actor in a drama series) and with Mad Men having ended its run after seven seasons, 2015 was Hamm's last chance to take home the award for his iconic role as Don Draper — and the crowd seemed happy for him, to say the least. "There has been a terrible mistake, clearly," Hamm began his speech. "This is impossible. It's impossible to be named with all these extraordinary gentlemen. It's impossible to be standing up here. It's impossible to have done this show with all these incredible people, these incredible actors, incredible writers, incredible crew." "We're so happy for Jon Hamm, who took a complex and nuanced character created on the page by Matthew Weiner and turned him into a truly iconic figure in popular culture," Charlie Collier, AMC president, said in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. "The idea of anyone else playing Don Draper is unimaginable, and that's credit to Jon. How wonderful to see him receive this deserved recognition." The 67th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, hosted by Andy Samberg, took place at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday.

My story started 26 years ago when God sent me a beautiful gift --a son I named Chafic. He was diagnosed with very rare health condition called "Lipodistrophy syndrom". After 2 years God sent me another gift I named Nadia a sweet smart girl now she's 24 years old and we just found out she also has a very rare blood disease called Porphyria. I have 2 very special kids.
I worry about them all the time to point I start taking pills for depression. And also from too much stress I became diabetic. I prayed to God everyday to give me the health and strength to stay beside my kids helping them and supporting them and enjoy every moment with them. God heard me and by chance I found out I have the gift in designing and making necklaces. When I crafted necklaces I felt so happy--- a feeling I never felt before. I got hooked and I start making more and more necklaces.
Then it started to be an expensive hobby and end up with a lot of necklaces. That was when I decided to find a way to sell my necklaces so I can buy more beads to make more necklaces. I start getting involved in many arts and crafts show and I met a lot of nice people. My customers appreciated my works and they asked me to build a website so they could check my latest designs so I did.
Getting involved in shows made my life easier helping to shift my mind from worrying about my kids health all the time. I thank God everyday for this talent he gave me.

The Flower City: Rochester Nurserymen of the Forties
The Flower City: Center of Nurseries and Fruit Orchards
Part IV: Rochester Nurserymen of the Forties
By BLAKE MCKELVEY
reprinted with permission** from
The Rochester Historical Society © 1940
Horticultural developments were the order of the day about Rochester during the forties. Several poor wheat seasons, the spread of the midge, and the turning of Rochester millers to the wheat fields of the West for supply marked the decline of wheat culture in the Genesee Country. Hervey Ely, Rochester's oldest miller, described the situation in 1844 in a brief sentence: "The average yield is now not over ten bushels per acre on lands [in the Genesee Country] which twenty years ago freely yielded twenty." Various remedies were advanced, including the rotation of crops, the use of fertilizer, the provision of agricultural schools, the increased use of stock, the introduction of machinery, and the development of commercial fruit orchards. It was in the last of these directions that the most remarkable strides were made in Monroe and neighboring counties, partially because of the fact that the rapid development of transport facilities in the Northwest, while it clogged the local wheat market, opened new outlets for fruit. The nurserymen of Rochester helped to foster and were in turn fostered by this trend.
The rapid increase in the number of Rochester nurseries is best revealed by their advertisements. When Bateham joined with others in the publication of the New Genesee Farmer he advertised for a partner for his seed business and soon allied himself with Charles F. Crosman, formerly a peddler of seed grown in a Shaker community in Columbia County. They developed a "seed garden" on Monroe Street [where Crosman Terrace is now located], but a year later the partners severed their relations, Crosman taking the garden and Bate-ham the seed store. In November, 1842, Bateham sold the store to Crosman and the Genesee Farmer to Henry Coleman, former editor of the New England Farmer, departing for Ohio where he founded the Ohio Cultivator. Meanwhile Asa Rowe's twenty-acre nursery and adjoining one hundred-acre farm on Rowe Street [present Lexington Avenue] in Greece passed through several hands until, late in 1843, Charles Powis bought it for sixty-five hundred dollars and renamed it the Monroe Garden and Nursery. A year or so before, Electus Boardman converted a fruit orchard one mile out Main Street (East Avenue just beyond Goodman) into a nursery , advertising young apple, peach, and locust trees for sale. In 1844 Josiah Bissell and Horace Hooker, old established residents of the city, bought out Boardman's fifteen and a half-acre nursery for eight thousand dollars and established the Rochester Commercial Nursery which soon became a thriving enterprise.
Samuel Moulson's Old Rochester Nursery on his fifty-acre farm at the northeastern edge of the city was already in a thriving state when he opened a seed store on Front Street. This latter street had become by the mid-forties the center of the seed trade as four different firms, notably Rapalje and Briggs, located there. Charles Powis, following the example of Asa Rowe and Ellwanger and Barry, issued a fruit catalogue in 1844, an action soon followed by Moulson as well as Bissell and Hooker. The Rochester and Charlotte Plank Road Nursery, established by C. J. Ryan west of the river three miles north of the city late in the decade, and William King's nursery on Mount Hope, within a stone's throw of Ellwanger and Barry, both specialized in flowers for local consumption, although the former soon developed a fruit department.
In the midst of this remarkable development of their trade, Ellwanger and Barry retained undisputed leadership. They were by all standards the most skilled nurserymen in the city and soon established a reputation for an accurate listing of their specimens, a scrupulous selection of only the hardy graftings, bulbs, and plants for sale, a careful packing for shipment, and prompt delivery. They quickly developed the most extensive assortment of varieties, and by the late forties their annual displays at the state and local fairs regularly captured a generous share of the prizes offered for fruit and flowers. Shortly after Ellwanger's return from Europe the Mount Hope Nursery was the first to introduce dwarf fruit trees into America, urging that orchardists replace their old, wide-spreading trees, which had consumed most of their fruitfulness in building useless wood, with new plantings and graftings which would give a larger return in fruit.
A scientific, commercial pomology was the objective of Ellwanger and Barry, and they missed no opportunity to encourage its spread. Patrick Barry took the post of editor of the Horticultural Department of the Genesee Farmer in and continued there for eight years. When the Agricultural School established in 1846 by Daniel Lee and General Rawson Harmon on the latter's farm in Wheatland began to disintegrate after the first season, Ellwanger and Barry attempted, unfortunately without success, to transfer the enterprise to the site of their botanic garden. That same year, 1847, the nursery presented fifty shade trees to the city for planting in Mount Hope Cemetery, a gesture designed to encourage the city to persist in its efforts to improve an already famous cemetery. The next year the two partners played a leading role in the organization of both the American Congress of Fruits Growers in New York City and of the North American Pomological Convention in Buffalo, and through their efforts the two societies were later united. Later that year Barry in his turn journeyed through Europe, visiting all the leading nurserymen, and studying in particular their methods of pruning for fruitfulness. Shortly after his return he began the writing of his volume on The Fruit Garden, published in 1851. The city as well as its agricultural hinterland was blossoming forth with a new and fragrant verdure. One observer in 1843 reported the city's appearance as "highly creditable to the refinement and taste of its citizens; the streets are tastefully adorned with rows of forest trees; around the dwellings as a general thing the little gardens and door-yards are tastefully filled with shrubs and plants … Several gentlemen are now planting and preparing gardens for fruits and vegetables, and ornamental trees and plants, that, when completed, will stand unsurpassed." Among the estates that especially attracted attention at the half-century were those of Aaron Erickson on Main Street (East Avenue), Major John Williams near Brown's Square, and D. W. Powers on Exchange Street. Erickson frequently appeared with other Rochesterians among the amateur prize winners at the state fairs, while the garden of Daniel W. Powers attracted detailed description:
D. W. Powers … on the west bank of the Genesee, has a charming little place. His grounds — about an acre — is almost in the form of a semi-circle. The house stands well back from the street, and the ground in front, the width of the house, is laid out in beds, filled with ornamental trees, shrubs and plants — and all edged with dwarf box, clipped and kept in perfect order; indeed, altogether the best specimens of box edging around Rochester. On either side of these beds is a well kept, pretty lawn. In our opinion Mr. Powers made a mistake in planting too many standard fruit trees, and making too many straight walks; but these blemishes are diminished by the general good keeping. He has recently erected, in connection with the dwelling, a beautiful little green house. … Mr. Powers' is a place that our citizens may point to with pride and pleasure. from Genesee Farmer, June 1848, page 161

Google Home Brings Sound Effects and Music to Disney Children's Books
A new sponsored feature aims to enhance stories read aloud
Google is teaming with Disney and Penguin Random House's Little Golden Books to add more pizzazz to bedtime stories.
The companies debuted a sponsored feature on Monday that will match sound effects and music to various points in 10 Disney children's books when read aloud. The app, which marks Google Home's 10th partnership project with the House of Mouse, fits with the search giant's push to better integrate its smart speakers into everyday family home life.
The Little Golden Books available upon release include a mix of Disney classics and contemporary hits: Mickey's Christmas Carol (Target exclusive), The Three Little Pigs, Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Coco, Jack Jack Attack, Mickey Mouse and his Spaceship, Moana, Toy Story 3 and Peter Pan.
A guitar strum sounds off, for instance, on a given cue in the picture book adaptation of Disney Pixar's Coco, and when the reader pauses for any reason, the device plays background music until the story is picked back up again. The program also recognizes if the storyteller skips around in the book and adjusts accordingly.
"We hope that it's something that parents will do with their kids each and every day," said Kelsey Gliva, product marketing manager at Google Home. "As we look to the future, thinking about the context of the family and ways that we can enhance routines that they already do is something that we're really interested in."
Past Disney features on Google Home have included a Mickey Mouse-themed choose-your-own-adventure game, a Toy Story toy activity and Star Wars trivia.
The partnership also spans a retail marketing placement that will group Google Home devices with the select titles in Walmart, Target and Barnes & Noble store displays.
"We know that parents and their kids are sort of fearless when it comes to assistant technology—they ask lots of questions and they engage, and we know with Disney's iconic character voices, it's a really fantastic way to bring this to life," Gliva said. "So it's a no-brainer to continue working with them."

Islamic eschatology is the branch of Islamic theology concerning the end of the world, and the "Day of resurrection" after that, known as Yawm al-Qiyāmah (Arabic: يوم القيامة, IPA: [jawmu‿l.qijaːma], "the Day of Resurrection") or Yawm ad-Dīn (يوم الدين, Arabic pronunciation: [jawmu‿d.diːn], "the Day of Judgment").[1] when the annihilation of all life will be followed by its resurrection and judgment by God. When al-Qiyamah will happen is not specified, but according to prophecy there are major and minor signs that will foretell its coming.[2][3] Many verses in the Quran mention the Last Judgment.[4][5]
The main subject of Surat al-Qiyama is the resurrection. The Great Tribulation is described in the hadith and commentaries of the ulama, including al-Ghazali, Ibn Kathir, Ibn Majah, Muhammad al-Bukhari, and Ibn Khuzaymah.[6][7] The Day of Judgment is also known as the Day of Reckoning, the Last Day, and the Hour (al-sā'ah).[8][9][10][11]
The hadith are more specific than the Quran, and describe twelve major signs of al-Qiyamah. At the time of judgment, terrible corruption and chaos will rule. Isa (Jesus) and the Mahdi are central characters in events near the time. The Mahdi will have established a seven-year rule in Medina at which time Jesus will descend from Heaven and battle Masih ad-Dajjal (the Antichrist in Islam). The Mahdi and Jesus will triumph and liberate Islam from cruelty. These events will be followed by a time of serenity when people live according to religious values.[12]
Like other Abrahamic religions, Islam teaches that there will be a resurrection of the dead followed by a final tribulation and eternal division of the righteous and wicked.[13] Islamic apocalyptic literature describing Armageddon is often known as fitna, Al-Malhama Al-Kubra (The Great Massacre) or ghaybah in Shī'a Islam. The righteous are rewarded with the pleasures of Jannah (Paradise), while the unrighteous are punished in Jahannam (Hell)wikipedia
In Islam, a number of major and minor signs foretell the end of days.[27] There is debate over whether they could occur concurrently or must be at different points in time, although Islamic scholars typically divide them into three major periods.[28]
What Islam believes about the End
When reading the Quran, or the Hadith(s), the reader cannot help but understand the end is firmly in view by the Muslim. Muslims do not view this life as the end, but only as the start of the next life. The role of the current life is to determine the next life. The result of the Muslim's restoration and relationship with Allah through Mohammad.
The subject of the end times is known as eschatology and covers both what happens after death and the events at the end of time. Christianity and Islam share some similar beliefs, with much different outcomes. For one, in Christianity and Islam, Jesus Christ plays a central role in the timing of end; Islam believes the return of Jesus will occur at the end, like Christians. Muslims also believe in the resurrection of both the wicked and the righteous and the final judgment. Islam and Christianity both proclaim an eternal dwelling of the lost and saved, in either Hell or Heaven (Paradise). Therefore, in many ways, the structure of the end (eschatology) is similar to Christianity.
However, Christians and Muslims have two different views of what the final matter is. Both views of the end, however, cannot be true since they are diametrically opposed to each other. The Muslim Jesus descends and converts the world to Islam, kills the Jews, breaks crosses, declares himself a Muslim and gets married. He dies after 40-years.
Therefore, in the Muslim view, the end has a much different outcome compared to the Christian or the Jewish view. All Muslims do not agree on every aspect of Muslim eschatology. Sunnis and Shiites have a different view on the role of Muslim end time figure, known as the Mahdi, who will arrive before the return of Jesus. The Shiites view this person as someone who will establish order in the world and turn people to Islam before the return of Jesus. Even the particular events of the end are not completely spelled out in the Quran. The Hadith supplements what the Quran does not say.
Belief in the end-times or the last days is mandatory in Islam. It is listed as the fifth article of faith.

text: Most folks use a stopwatch to actually see how long a particular task requires. If I knew it was going to take 10 minutes, I wouldn't need a timer. What happens if I finish in under 10 minutes? Ted -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nicol Oosthuizen Sent: Monday, May 14, 2007 8:36 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Stop Watch That Works With Jaws NB: This email and its contents are subject to our email legal notice which can be viewed at http://www.sars.gov.za/Email_Disclaimer.pdf ---- Andy, it depends what you want to use the stop watch for. I can give you a solution, but then it have to be something you are not doing on the computer. Jaws has a function called delay. A function is either an event that triggers if things in windows happens or it's a building block of a script. A script is a feature of jaws which you activate by pressing a keystroke. I have tried this, it works if you want to time yourself on something you are not doing on the computer. Say for instance you want to time yourself on typing then it won't work. I tested it, it doesn't work. But you can use the delay function as a stop watch if what you want to be timed on is not something you do on the computer. Here is how it works: I'll explain it right from the beginning in case you don't know the script manager. If you do just as I instruct you, you won't mess up jaws, don't worry. Press insert+f2 and press s for script manager and press enter. Now press control+shift+d to open the default script file. That means you can use the stop watch script on your computer regardless of which program you are in. Now press control+end to go to the bottom of the script file. Now press control+e. Type a name for the script such as MyStopwatchScript. Tab once and press spacebar to select the checkbox. If you want to write documentation for your script such as synopsis and description the following 2 fields is used for this but its optional. Press tab and type a synopsis, press tab and type a description. If you want to choose a category for your script press tab and either choose a category in the combo edit box or type in your own one. It salso optional; its also documentation. Its just classifying your script. Now press tab. If you are on the checkbox and you don't want to fill in all this, press alt+a. Now press the keystroke you want to use for the script. After pressing the desired keystroke, hit enter. Now make sure you are on the blank line beneath the line: Script MyStopWatch. Now your first line of code will instruct jaws to tell you that the stop watch is starting. So press control+i. Now tab once and you should be in a list of functions. Now use first letter navigation to find the function called: say string. Hit enter; type a phrase in quotation marks that you want jaws to say when you press the script's keystroke. A phrase such as "10 minutes starting" Press enter. Press enter again to make a blank line. Now for the second line of code. This is where you tell jaws how long the stop watch must work; how long you want to be timed. Press control+I again. Tab once and you should be in a list of functions. Now use first letter navigation to find the function called delay. Press enter. Now you must decide how long you want the stop watch to time you. Here you have to do a bit of maths. You have to enter the amount of milliseconds for the delay function to use. For instance if you want to time yourself for 10 minutes you have to work out how many seconds is in 10 minutes, once you have that figure just add another 0 to the figure and put it in here because there is 10 milliseconds in 1 second. Now press enter. Press the number 0 on your extended number row and press enter. Press enter again to make a blank line. Now the last line of code tells jaws to announce that the set time is up. Control+I again and find the say string function again. Enter the phrase "time is up" in quotes and hit enter. Now press control+s to save and compile the script. You should hear: compile complete. If you get a compile error, let me know and we can take it from there. Now exit the script manager with alt+f4. Now whenever you are ready to time yourself, just hit the keystroke you entered when you created the script. Its working accurately. You will hear jaws saying: time starts and you will have 10 minutes of silence and you can do whatever you want to time yourself on. During that 10 minutes I strongly recommend not to press any keys on your keyboard as this might interrupt the script. Only when you hear jaws say: time is up, the script terminates and you can then use your computer again. hth ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: 03 May 2007 02:50 AM To: jfw list Cc: blindtech Subject: Stop Watch That Works With Jaws Is there a stop watch that will work with jaws?

Artist's Statement:
My ongoing series "Scenes" centers around transforming spaces, often a room, into fantastical landscapes — which frequently utilize elements of the natural world to tell a story. Each concept, shaped predominantly by events in my life and inspired by nature and the desire for it, creates a sort of conceptual autobiography. Building these life-sized installations also allows me to live inside my own imagination, if only for a short time. It satisfies the need to create a more aesthetically pleasing reality. Each project takes months to complete, allowing me to fully immerse myself in meticulous details. I enjoy creating many of the components in each set by hand. Crocheting the ocean, crafting hundreds of paper birds, weaving a ceiling of roots from jute. Learning a new skill each time I build a new scene helps to keep the process fresh.
This work began as a photography project. The scenes are captured with an 8×10 camera on film and a photograph remains the lasting imprint. Opening the scenes as a tableau vivants, however, installations which feature a live model, allows an audience to experience them as I do but to add their own interpretations and ideas, thus making the story a shared experience.
Artist's Bio:
Dorothy O'Connor graduated with degrees in Literature and Studio Arts. Her photographs and installations feature thoughtfully composed and hand-crafted scenes which combine elements of still-life, portraiture, landscape and performance to produce unique and evocative works of art. She has received grants from Possible Futures, FLUX and the Forward Arts Foundation to present her installations as public art. The lasting element of her installations, her photographs, have been exhibited in galleries throughout the U.S. In 2013, she was artist in residence at Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art in Nashville where she built and presented her latest installation, "Shelter." Her most recent projects were interactive sculptural pieces for Art on the Beltline 2014 & 2015. Ms. O'Connor's work is part of the permanent collections at MOCA GA, Cheekwood Botanical Garden and Museum of Art, the Center for Fine Art Photography and is included in many private collections.
