IT giant Tata Consulting Services (TCS) is on the cusp of signing three Australian technology startups to formally become part of its Co-Innovation Network (COIN), an initiative that helps fledgling companies create a global market for their products.
TCS' chief technology officer, K. Ananth Krishnan, declined to name the firms but told CIO they were involved in the areas of augmented reality, ontology-based text analytics and software testing.
Krishnan first flagged that TCS was in talks with several Australian and New Zealand startup companies. in February this year.
According to Krishnan, the augmented reality startup has developed a camera-based system that enables provide a "more varied experience" to people reading paper documents such as magazines or product catalogues.
The firm has also created technology that makes it easier to "digitise" pre-printed forms, which is useful for organisations such as hospitals and government departments, which are writing on standardised forms.
Krishnan said technology developed by the ontology-based text analytics provider "has gone very deep in governance-related areas" for police and other government departments.
"It [the technology] is specific to this part of the world but in theory it should be transferable to [other countries in] the British Commonwealth because the verbage and terminology is similar," he said.
TCS launched COIN in Australia and New Zealand in July this year and is hoping to announce agreements the three startups when pilot projects are completed possibly by the end of the year.
The three firms were selected from a short-list of eight companies, which was created after TCS consulted with government agencies, universities, private equity and venture capital firms in Australia and New Zealand.
During the selection process, startups pitch their wares to staff from TCS' global innovation team, who "complete their diligence," said Krishnan.
"In Silicon Valley [in the United States], we get five or six of our customer's CIOs and CTOs into the room and we did the same thing here [in Australia]," he said.
"I am looking for pilots in this region to begin with because logistically, that's easier for a startup and for us. That's one of the reasons we get the local CIOs and CTOs in the room."
Join the CIO Australia group on LinkedIn. The group is open to CIOs, IT Directors, COOs, CTOs and senior IT managers.

The standard 3-pin plug used in South Africa has remained largely unchanged for almost a century, a legacy of the British influence. It is far larger than necessary for the job it does. As long ago as 1950, a new worldwide standard for plugs and sockets was envisaged that would be safe, occupy less space and use materials more efficiently. However, the move to standardise plugs and sockets worldwide met with obstacles and a final document was only published in 1986. To date, only South Africa and Brazil have adopted this new standard (SANS 164-2), even though it remains as a global benchmark… (more)

Data center electrical efficiency is rarely planned or managed. The unfortunate result is that most data centers waste substantial amounts of electricity. Today it is both possible and prudent to plan, measure, and improve data center efficiency. In addition to reducing electrical consumption, efficiency improvements can gain users higher IT power densities and the ability to install more IT equipment in a given installation. This paper explains how data center efficiency can be measured, evaluated, and modeled, including a comparison of the benefits of periodic assessment vs. continuous monitoring… (more)
South Africa averages at least one arc flash incident with lost time injuries per month and at least one fatality every two months. This statistic is based only on cases reported in the Highveld media and is not necessarily representative of the actual number of incidents which is believed to be greater.

Safe and reliable supply of electric power is aprerequisite for continuation and growth of prosperity in any country. As shown in the past there are circumstances which require a substantial adaptation of the power systems to new conditions. For example, changes in the political conditions in Europe at the end of the 1980s have resulted in a massive restructuring of the power systems in Central and Eastern Europe. In addition, the liberalization of the power industry, which started globally in the nineties of the last century, caused substantial changes to the power systems because of new reference conditions, in particular by intensifying electric power trading… (more)
In view of Eskom's current network expansion at 765 kV, it was necessary to address occupational exposure of substation workers to electric fields, particularly in 765 kV substations with busbar height of 12 m. This paper reports on the assessment of 50 Hz electric field levels that substation workers may be exposed to in 765 kV open air substation.It was found that at 12 m busbar height, at 800 kV line voltage, the maximum calculated electric field, 21,9 kV/m, exceeds the International Commission for Non-ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) reference level (20 kV/m) at two locations covering a small area… ( more)
Apollo is the inverter end of the Cahora Bassa HVDC scheme. It is situated in RSA while the rectifier is at the Songo Station 1414 km to the North in Mozambique. The present rating of the HVDC link is 1920 MW at ±533 kV. In 2006 Eskom placed a contract with ABB for the replacement of eight six-pulse converters and two AC filters, while retaining the old transformers and the DC yard equipment including smoothing reactors. A basic requirement was that renewed equipment should not become obsolete as the Cahora Bassa HVDC link has the potential to be uprated to 3960 MW using the present full current rating of the line and extending the voltage to ± 600 kV DC… (more)
A solution to improve wind power reliability is interconnected wind power.

If there are not sufficient megawatts under construction, the problem will not go away – irrespective of how much we talk. We can mitigate the extent to which we feel the pain, by means of the PCP (Power Conservation Program, where large users must cut 10% or face penalties), and energy efficiency measures such solar heaters, light bulbs etc. But that will not make the problem go away. And economic growth will be proportional to the new megawatts coming on stream. So why aren't there sufficient megawatts under construction?… (more)

Here is a look at the tower room:
Here is the view from our pool view room (note it is also a theme park view):
Check-in is at 4PM, but we showed up early to get a jump on the pool, and luckily they had our room ready (around 1PM). We immediately headed for the new pool area and jumped right into the lazy river. The lazy river is small, with cool water, very refreshing. It takes about 5-8 minutes to go all the way around. One thing that stood out to us was that there were plenty of lounge chairs for everyone, even in the middle of the day. The tower area pool has a zero depth entry and is very large. We spent a few hours hanging out in the new pool, then moved over to the courtyard pool.
Here are a few pictures from the tower area pool:
Here are pictures from the courtyard area pool, where there is a water slide and kids splash area:
After the pool, we checked out the Bayliner Diner. The diner is centrally located, just a few minute walk from our room. The diner has food stations that serve different types of food. We had a couple good meals here, no issues at all, and enjoyed the area. Please note that many of these pictures were taken after midnight, when much of the resort was closed, and not many people were roaming around.
While we didn't have time to bowl or use the arcade, we did take a look around and photograph some of the amenities.
|The Bowling Alley is located off the main lobby on the second floor.
|Also on the 2nd floor is an activity room. They have board games, and show movies when the poolside movie can't be shown outside due to weather.
|A nice size arcade is located up on the 2nd floor as well.
Outside, there are some vintage vehicles to pose with, that add to the whole retro vibe.
|Lastly we take a look at the resort at night. It's beautifully lit up, and is very appealing to look at.
|One drawback is that pools and activities close at either 10PM or 11PM depending on the day.
|The tower pool area, like most of the resort, is very quiet at night.
|So long Cabana Bay....we will be back soon.

The Capitol was a heavily guarded fortress on Thursday morning as the Assembly prepared to vote on a bill limiting collective bargaining for Wisconsin public employees. Several officers stood in front of every door as sign-carrying, whistle-blowing, drum-beating protesters demanded entry. The peaceful relations between cops and protesters much remarked upon during the past three weeks of labor unrest were threatening to break down.
At the King Street entrance, speakers took to the microphone to express outrage over the Senate Republicans' tactics from the night before, when they hastily passed an amended version of Gov. Scott Walker's controversial budget-repair bill. That move has spurred a new round of demonstrations, beginning last night as protesters forced their way into the Capitol after the Senate's vote.
This morning, speakers described officers forcibly removing people from the Assembly chamber. One of those testifying was an indignant Mark Clear, president of the Madison city council.
"We are still not being let into our building!" Clear said.
A UW Milwaukee student described an officer hitting a protester in the face and drawing blood; another speaker said a cop closed a door on his leg. A woman with a trembling voice described being "assaulted" by an officer from the Division of Criminal Investigation, who pinned her arm and accused her of trying to grab his gun.
"This is what happens when democracy falls apart!" she said.
With stone-faced officers standing right behind her at the King Street entrance, another woman pleaded with the police to "make a choice and move aside."
There were other signs that Wisconsin's civil war has intensified. Across the street from the Capitol, firefighters picketed in front of M&I Bank, protesting its supposed support for Scott Walker (the bank has since denied any official support). One of the firefighters came to the microphone to urge M&I's customers to withdraw their money.
"By the end of the day, they're going to start to get the message," he said.
Other speakers demanded boycotts of Kwik Trip, Menards and Johnsonville.
At 11 a.m., protesters mobbed the State Street steps, trying to make their voices heard in the Assembly chamber.
"Let us in!" they chanted. "Let us in!"
And finally, the Capitol doors opened, allowing protesters to trickle in. "The people" once again had access to "their building," now outfitted with metal detectors.

BWW Review: Antony Raymond's World Premiere of PRETTY BABIES Explodes With Grit and Relevance
Antony Raymond acts as both scribe and director in his world premiere drama PRETTY BABIES, now playing at 13th Street Repertory Theater. With an ensemble cast featuring Stacey Roca (UK The Office), Christopher Heard, Dan McVey, Sara Antkowiak, Benjamin Bauman, and Mary Beth Albers, this gritty new drama explores the taboos and roller coasters of modern relationships.
The story follows Jason (Heard) and Claire (Roca), whose turbulent relationship is rocked when Jason allows Claire to sleep with Billy (McVey) for cocaine. Meanwhile, Jason's long-lost sister, wild girl Randi (Antkowiak), travels from California to New York with Bauman, who leaves his sister (Albers) in LA. Events explode- the name dropping of the title alone is enough to send shivers down your spine, with a pang of realization. The newfound siblings bond over their extremist views on the opposite sex and relationships in general, as the others reel over the kindling of new feelings. It's a timely, relevant piece for a new age of young people in love, and finding themselves.
All performances take place at the newly renovated 13th St Rep Theater, 50 West 13th Street (between 5th & 6th Avenues), New York, NY 10011. Subways: F/V/1/2/3/4/5/6/N/R/Q to 14th street. Running time: 80 minutes. Tickets are $18.00 and are available at www.elsinorecounty.com.
Show Dates: Thursday, February 26th @ 8:00 pm; Friday, February 27th @ 9:30 pm; Saturday, February 28th @ 9:30 pm; Thursday, March 5th @ 8:00 pm; Friday, March 6th @ 9:30 pm; Saturday, March 7th @ 9:30 pm; Thursday, March 12th @ 8:00 pm; Friday, March 13th @ 9:30 pm; Saturday, March 14th @ 9:30 pm; Thursday, March 19th @ 8:00 pm; Friday, March 20th @ 9:30 pm; and Saturday, March 21st @ 9:30 pm.

"In managerial jargon, both the PM and the central bank chief are faced with implied offences that call for the sack. Either they react in a way that is plausible or they quit to honour the integrity of their offices".
~Dr Tan Kee Kwong, Ex-deputy minister laments twin conspiracies of silence
Tan (right), a former BN deputy minister who joined PKR three years ago, said Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak's "deafening silence in the face of grave allegations of criminal conduct and the mute response of Bank Negara's governor to the massive flight of capital from the country are fantastic and shocking, even if you allow that our democracy is deeply flawed and permissive."
Businessman Deepak Jaikishan has leveled grave allegations of possible criminal conduct against Najib in connection with the Altantuya Shaarribuu murder, while Malaysiakini has reported thatRM200 billion left the country in 2010 in illegal capital flows, a fact that ought to have the central bank chief either quaking or quitting, said Tan.
"Either separately, more so in combination, a mute response is not a sustainable option in these circumstances," said Tan who is expected to fielded in the Wangsa Maju constituency in Kuala Lumpur in the coming general election.
Tan is the son of Dr Tan Chee Khoon, a legendary figure in the annals of the Malaysian opposition whose name was a byword for integrity.

If you're interested in finding an alternative to dairy and soy milk – or just want a delicious, creamy beverage to sip on or use for smoothies and hot chocolate – then look no further than these homemade nut and seed milk recipes!
I'm outlining almond, cashew, and sunflower seed milk, to start off, though there are certainly others you can explore. Enjoy!
1. Almond Milk
I resisted making almond milk for years. I kept hearing it was easy, but somehow, I couldn't get my head around it. I don't like processed almond milk, so I thought, "how good can it be?" Wow! Not only is it simple, it is delicious. To me it tastes like melted vanilla ice cream. Does it get any better than that?
Yes, it does, because it is actually really good for you too. Almonds are a rich source of Vitamin E, calcium, folic acid, as well as the minerals magnesium, selenuim, phosphorus and zinc. Almonds are wonderful for maintaining skin elasticity as well as helping to lower cholesterol and being a good source of protein. Dates play a big role here too. They are a rich source of vitamins and minerals including iron, potassium and calcium and are a awesome natural sweetener.
- almonds – 1 cup, raw
- water – 4 cups
- vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- himalaya salt – a pinch
- medjool dates – 5
- raw cacao powder – 1 tsp (optional; for chocolate milk)
- honey – 1/2 tsp (optional)
Put 1 cup of raw almonds in a bowl, Fill with water.
In a separate bowl put 5 medjool dates. Fill that with water.
Soak them both overnight (or for at least 4 hours)
Rinse the nuts in cool water a few times. Do NOT use the water that the nuts have been soaking in. It will make the milk taste bitter. Rinse the nuts until all of the frothy bits are gone.
Put the nuts, the dates AND the date water into the blender. Make sure to take the pits out of the dates before blending.
Add 4 cups of water, 1 teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of himalaya salt.
Strain the almond milk though a cheesecloth, a strainer with a paper towel, or a nut bag (yes, there actually is something called a 'nut bag'. I can't help but giggle when I say it) . That gets out all of the almond bits, so your milk is silky smooth.
This recipe yields approximately 4 cups of almond milk. The almond milk separates naturally, so give it a quick shake before you drink it. It will last for for 3-4 days in the fridge.
2. Cashew Milk
I think that cashews are a perfect food. They are so packed with essential minerals it hard to think of something they don't do to benefit your health. These awesome nuts support your heart, brain, bone and nerve health. They are also good for skin elasticity as well as hair and nail strength. The best part is that they are a natural anti-depressant. In short, they make you feel good and look good. Did I mention they also happen to be delicious? Lucky us.
Cashew milk is the closest to whole milk in taste and texture. The thickness comes from the fact that this milk does not need to be strained the way that almond milk does. That also makes it much easier to make with less mess.
- cashews – raw -1 cup, soaked overnight
- medjool dates – 4 cups pitted, soaked overnight
- water – 4 cups
- himalaya salt – dash
- vanilla extract – 1 tsp
Rinse the nuts under cold water until the water runs clear. Add all the other ingredients (including the water that the dates were soaked in). Blend until completely smooth.
Drink it, use it in smoothies or on cereal.
3. Sunflower Seed Milk
This one might not be for everyone. The sunflower seeds have a slightly bitter after-taste similar to that of sunflower seed butter. I tend to use it more in smoothies and on cereal. I drink it plain sometimes but my kids won't touch it like that. "So why should I make this?" You're probably asking. Because it is really easy, it is incredibly good for you and when you feel like it, you can turn it into a magical potion called Chocolate Cardamom Sunflower Seed Milk. For that, you will thank me.
Sunflower seeds are very high in trace minerals like selenium and magnesium. These minerals are an essential part of what keep our bones strong and our nerves calm. These seeds are also filled with Vitamin E which, like an internal sunblock, protects your skin from UV radiation. Sunflower seeds also help to sweep accumulated radiation out of your system.
I tend to leave my nuts and seeds to soak overnight. As part of my bedtime ritual, I soak whichever ones I plan to use the next day. It doesn't take much time. You just have to remember to do it which is a task in itself. Once you're in the habit, it is like second nature. Nuts and seeds tend to be difficult for your body to break down. Soaking them makes them infinitely more digestible.
- sunflower seeds – 1 cup, raw (soaked for at least 4 hours)
- medjool dates – 4 large (soaked for at least 4 hours)
- water – 4 cups
- vanilla extract – 1/2 tsp
- himalaya salt – pinch
Rinse the seeds under cold water until the water runs clear. Put them and all of the other ingredients (including the water the dates were soaked in) into a high speed blender. Blend until smooth. It should be thick and creamy, like a milkshake.
What's your favorite nut/seed milk? Let me know in the comments section and share your recipes!

URL url = new URL("http://someurl") InputStream is = url.openStream()//<---this oneThe openStream method is actually shorthand for openConnection().getInputStream(). So it returns a newly instantiated URLConnection and calls getInputStream() on that. The problem is, which the API won't tell you (but is visible in the source) is that the default values for connectTimeout and readTimeout are 0. This means, if the connection/read fails, it will continue to try to connect/read forever. While we tested for the connection to be good before we began processing, getting from a URL caused it to hang when the service went down in the middle of processing. The solution was mentioned in this StackOverflow question. The solution lies in not creating the InputStream from URL, but from URLConnection and setting the timeouts:
int timeoutMS = 5000 // 5 secs try { URL url = new URL("http://someurl") URLConnection conn = url.openConnection(); conn.setConnectTimeout(timeoutMs); conn.setReadTimeout(timeoutMs); InputStream is = conn.getInputStream(); } catch (java.net.UnknownHostException uhe) { // something useful here } catch (java.net.SocketTimeoutException ste) { // something useful here }Eric has posted about this as well (it was his project we learned this from).

On Tuesday I had some stuff to do in town (more info coming soon...!) and while I was wandering through I went to Debenham's to take a look at the beauty counters. After swatching a few Bare Escentuals Ready shadows - which are beautiful - I noticed a brand new Calvin Klein cosmetics counter. I asked the MUA if there was a price list and was told that whilst no price list was available, they were offering absolutely free makeovers that day. So I sat down on one of those silly little stools and got my make up done for free! What a nice surprise. As I took a couple of snaps and had a really brilliant chat to Lauren, who did my make up, I thought I'd write up a little blog post about it. I think beauty counters are what put a lot of people off really loving make-up: between the uppity staff and the array of products with little explanation, as well as pushy women on commission, it can be a bit of a nightmare. Luckily CK One was definitely an exception.
The first product we talked about was foundation: I am a very fussy girl when it comes to base. I told Lauren I needed to start using products that weren't as heavy as I'd used in the past. She told me to try ck one's 3in1 face makeup in shade 200, fair. I was more than a little skeptical about a product offering sheer-to-medium coverage and built-in serum and primer. I have fairly oily skin and a very uneven skintone and didn't think this would do much for me. However, buffed in with a foundation brush I found this to be really comfortable on the skin and giving enough coverage so that my natural skin shone through - but only where we wanted it to! I really liked this and even better, it was still firmly in place that night after being fixed with airlight pressed powder. Got this applied at 11am, and when I went to remove it at 11pm, it was definitely still going strong.
Eyes we left alone as I had done them that morning - Urban Decay Roach, Smog and Baked - but my brows were refreshed somewhat with brow pencil & gel duo in 'wily brunette'. This was a brilliant product with a wedge-shaped waxy pencil on one end, and a sheer gel with a spoolie applicator at the other.
Face was given some serious warmth and shimmer which I love. The cream & powder blusher duo in 700 happiness - a lovely coral pink with a golden brown shimmer side - was applied and blended liberally all over the apples of my cheeks and up the cheekbones. I would never have a) used a cream product here or b) used so much of it so it was brilliant to have someone test out something new. I told Lauren I totally trusted her and let her do whatever she felt best. I definitely had a lot more dewiness and 'life' to my face than usual and as I've said it lasted very well. Some skin illuminator in 200 warm was also applied for a gold highlight on the tops of my cheekbones, browbones and cupid's bow.
Finally the lips - Lauren layered pure color lipstick in 310 apology underneath lipgloss in 500 mad for a really vampy lip.
A final word on the products: we used a small sample of the line on my face for this look, but Lauren was kind enough to talk me through the other products. Pricing was pretty much on a par with MAC, with some products coming up a lot cheaper - the eyeshadow bases which come in several shades are only £11, and the nail polishes only £9. CK One aren't selling brushes, as they feel it would be difficult for them to really innovate in this area within their price range. I totally respect this: brushes are a difficult market that is basically dominated by a few brands and it seems pretty pointless to me for lines to keep bringing out the same basic seven brushes time and time again. The focus for CK One is on multi-functional, space-saving and efficient products, and I think that really shows. Products like the blusher duos could work all over the face, and the eyeshadows came mostly in duos, trios and quads, making it easy to create a look with only one pan. Packaging is sleek and tidy for all products. The items that impressed me the most were definitely the double-ended brow product - why nobody has created that pencil before is a mystery to me - and the 3in1 face make-up, which incorporates serum and primer to give a long-lasting finish.
All in all a brilliant experience, and a brand that I will definitely be looking to in the future.

Leeds City's lead in the Second Division was put into question after they lost 1-0 at home to Clifton Rangers, who move just three points behind Leeds with a game in hand.
Skipton Town continue to falter after they had to come back from 3-0 down at Farsley Development to scrape a 3-3 draw.
Ossett Town Reserves, meanwhile, moved two points clear of danger with an impressive 4-0 win at Crossley.
The Third Division saw an exciting 4-3 win for Lower Hopton after goals from Dani Anthony (2) Abi Anthony and Amiee Helliwell made sure New Farnley's fight back from 3-0 down through Shauna Hill (2) and Natasha Handy came to no avail.
Brighouse Athletic 'A' gained their third successive league win and cleansheet after their 3-0 win over Durkar Devils condemned the Devils to four successive losses without scoring.

Chris Robinson is a one-man free-speech movement. Colorado College, where Robinson is a senior majoring in political science, believes free speech on certain topics is worrisome and must be corralled. So its thought police subjected Robinson and a fellow student (who has chosen to remain anonymous) to an inquisition last month after they published a parody of a campus feminist flier known as The Monthly Rag.
For good measure, dean of students Mike Edmonds reached into his bag of tricks two weeks later and found Robinson and his colleague guilty of the farcical charge of "violating the student code of conduct policy on violence under the college value of Respect." Their flier, which claimed to be "brought to you by the coalition of some dudes," included a dumb discussion of "chainsaw etiquette" and a brief item noting the range of a "sniper rifle," but neither advocated violence or was remotely threatening.
To see for yourself, go to the Web site of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (thefire.org) and check out the file on Colorado College. While there, you might compare The Monthly Rag with The Monthly Bag (the parody) to determine which is actually more offensive.
The Monthly Rag features a promo for the "world-famous prostitute & porn star turned sexologist & artist" Annie Sprinkle, as well as a helpful list of definitions for various forms of "packing," which is what women outside "the gender binary" do when they want to create "the appearance of a phallus under clothing."
The Monthly Bag – a "caricature of hyper-masculinity," in Robinson's words – will offend some people, too. But the problem is who it offends. It commits the mortal sin of poking fun at the work of activists associated with the Feminist and Gender Studies program.
College spokeswoman Jane Turnis emphasizes that The Monthly Bag was plastered around campus just weeks after the shootings at Northern Illinois University. Fine, but from the outset officials were intent on condemning speech as much as in discovering whether they had a weirdo on their hands. That much is obvious from a campuswide e-mail President Richard Celeste sent out the same day. He denounced the flier's content as both "threatening and demeaning" before pompously urging an "appropriate" discussion of "how gender impacts our experience of the world and one another."
The e-mail could have been written by the folks in Feminist and Gender Studies.
Celeste – who may be unfamiliar with the rich tradition of anonymous political satire in this country dating to the Revolution – invited the "coalition of some dudes" to identify themselves, which the two-man coalition promptly did. Case closed, right? Two normal students and a harmless parody. No, not quite.
Robinson tells me that his appearance before a "student conduct committee" was an hours-long ordeal in which he was quizzed about his views on gender, class, sexism and privilege, among other things. It was "political correctness on steroids," he says, engineered by a "persecuting special-interest group" that has the college administration in its thrall.
Does Celeste appreciate the losing hand he holds? Perhaps, since he told a Colorado Springs TV station that the two students "were not sanctioned or punished." No? Perhaps not officially, but being taken to task by your college president and dean of students, as well as interrogated by a tribunal, might reasonably be considered punishment by some. Or at least an exercise in intimidation.
Colorado College's policy on academic freedom insists that "On a campus that is free and open, no idea can be banned or forbidden." Robinson is challenging the college to reclaim that ideal.
As he declared recently in the campus newspaper, "Colorado College is a private institution, which means that from a legal standpoint it can do whatever it wants regarding speech. It can enforce political positions it regards as sacrosanct with legal impunity. But should it? Do you as a student think CC should be a campus with less protection for free speech than Pikes Peak Community College?"
Apparently many students don't. Robinson said Monday that those he talks to are "overwhelmingly in my favor, even if they hated The Monthly Bag. That's because there's a principle at stake."
Robinson has appealed his case, which another campus committee will hear. Maybe it will notice the "principle at stake" in time to save the college from further embarrassment.

New Delhi: As a virtual war of words broke out between JD(U) and RJD in the wake of murders of engineers in Bihar, LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan today took a jibe at his one-time ally Lalu Prasad saying what can be more "ridiculous" than the latter talking about law and order.
Paswan also reiterated that the alliance between RJD and JD(U) will "not last long" and the coalition government in the state, led by Nitish Kumar, will not complete its full term.
The recent murders of three engineers have led to an verbal dual between the alliance partners with leaders of the two parties attacking each other. In a bid to fish in troubled waters, Paswan, who had in past allied with RJD, trained his guns on Prasad.
"What can be more ridiculous than Lalu Prasad telling Nitish what is law and order all about. What right the RJD chief has to advise on the issue of law and order. All that is happening today is happening due to him.
"He planted the seeds of this during 15-year-long rule of RJD, which flourished during the 10-year-rule of Nitish Kumar and is giving the fruits till date," Paswan told PTI.
The Union Minister claimed the Nitish Kumar government in the state will not last more than two years.
"Now the evidence of what I had said is coming. It's Lalu ruling while the crown is on Nitish (Nitish Ke Sar Pe Taaj Hai, Lalu Ka Raaj Hai). Nitish Kumar is helpless. Lalu is repeatedly reminding him in his way that his party RJD has got more numbers than JD(U) in the Assembly polls.
"This government will not complete the full five year tenure. But the downfall of Bihar will accelerated during this two or two and half beyond which the government cannot last," Paswan said.
The RJD chief's comment on law and order in the wake of killing of two engineers of a road construction company at Darbhanga on Saturday has provided ammunition to opposition BJP to attack the Nitish Kumar government.
After Prasad's apparent snub, senior RJD leader Raghubansh Prasad Singh expressed concern over the rise in crime, and said, "JD(U) people are in the habit of hearing 'jay kaar' (hailing words) which they should end and take strong measures to rein in crime causing disturbance to people."
JD(U) too reacted sharply, with former minister Shyam Rajak saying Kumar had shown his merit in pulling Bihar out of dark days and hence he needed no lesson from anybody. "Even a child can give advice," he said apparently reacting to Singh's comments. .

I'm getting the superbug. I can feel it in my muscles. I'm achy and tired and feeling all around craptacular.
But I made it to work today. Half asleep at the wheel. Seriously! Driving half asleep is worse than driving after perhaps consuming one or three too many.
(Not that I have ever done that.)
Moving on.
I had a blast Saturday night! We went out for a friend's birthday; and it seemed that everyone we knew, related to that friend and not, was at the bar, in good spirits (or full of them) and having a fabulous time. We danced most of the night, got to catch up with some friends we haven't seen in a while, and really enjoyed ourselves... OH! and we only spent forty bucks!
(seriously, two alchys in a bar for 4 hours only spending $40... that's just awesome, wouldn't you say?)
I will take a moment to say that I do not miss my old friends. I do not miss the drama, I do not miss the fighting, I certainly do not miss their apparent need to create drama and fights in the event that something is not already brewing.
Yes. Saturday night, Life was GRAND!
I was crazy pregnant woman yesterday.
Except I'm not pregnant, so I guess I was just...
It was one of those days that should have been spent in bed, with a book and earplugs. Instead it was spent on one emotionally distraught misadventure after another; while my love did actually feed most of my roller coaster, he also caught the receiving end of the majority of my frustration, agitation, raw emotion, and subsequent burnt pizza.
The alarms should have sounded when I felt like crying, yes crying at the discovery that there were not enough eggs to make french toast, like I wanted. So My Love decided to make pancakes instead.
Saturday morning, I took the girls adventuring. He made himself an extraordinary to do list, which upon it's completion would have left Sunday for us to spend at our leisure. Only, unbeknown to me, he got to his parent's house, parked his rear in front of the computer and didn't come home until 8:00 pm, when we were supposed to be across town at a friend's birthday party.
At the discovery that, once again, our Sunday was going to be spent chasing everything he neglected to do on Saturday, I was... less then happy. THEN He sat on his rear, in front of the computer AGAIN, looking at houses for 2 hours, THEN he had to read the paper, THEN...
Ok, it was just NOT a good day.
Today, aside from being achy and tired and almost killing multiple people in my half asleep drive to the office, has been pretty ok.
I'm sheepishly trying to make ammends with My Love, who is surprisingly not ready to kill me.
(He did tell me not to ever have a bad day again.)
I discovered Google Reader. (sigh.) I'm in love. The office shall never be the same.
I also had my first Diet Rockstar in more than a month.
Oh -- it's raining. And truth be known, I'm glad.

In-state tuition at all UT campuses to stay the same
In-state students at the University of Texas system's nine academic campuses will not see their tuitions increase this fall, after the Board of Regents on Tuesday voted for the first time to keep the number flat across all campuses.
Last week, the nine-member board voted to allow tuition increases for out-of-state and medical students. They postponed a vote on in-state tuition increases to this week after Gov. Rick Perry sent a letter urging them to keep out-of-pocket expenses for these students flat.
The board also approved a new plan to allow all students to opt in to what's called a "guaranteed" rate, meaning they would pay a higher starting rate that would remain unchanged if they graduate in four years. UT-Dallas already has such a plan, which Regents Chair Paul L. Foster held up as an example for the other eight campuses.
"I think this is an important step," Foster said during the meeting, which he chaired via teleconference from Austin. "I think both send the right message to our students."
The panel members, discussing the issues over speakerphone, also decided on a number of changes to the governance rules of the board of regents. The changes, which included requiring at least two regents to back an information request if the request is opposed by the chair and chancellor, come as Regent Wallace Hall is being scrutinized for making massive records requests of the system.
A House committee looking into Hall's behavior, which lawmakers have called "a witch hunt" that included the bullying of university officials and the release of confidential student information, last week found grounds exist for his impeachment. Its members meet Wednesday to discuss the drafting of specific articles of impeachment.
Foster asked Hall to resign during last week's meeting. Hall did not comment then, waiting until Monday to issue a biting missive saying he would not step down and calling Foster's request "shameful" and "underhanded."

This proves that the book is almost always better than the movie.

This painting might have a bit of a poncey title but it is quintessentially from New Zealand.
The mountain looks like Mt Taranaki – although I can't be sure. The tin shed is covered in corrugated iron and there is a ubiquitous 40 gallon drum.
I found this work on a 2016 calendar. Just lovely.

ERIKA is HOME!! Please continue praying for her!
This morning went well! The little kids were really cute! We told the story of Esther today! We had 4 of the kids wearing names tags for the main people in the story! Vitoria knew the story REALLY well! She could have told it by herself, she has seen the movie of Esther. We ended up working on "Every Move I Make" with the little kids, hopefully to show it to the church some day. Pastor Eudes wife also had a song for the kids to practice, but we were unable to get it to work on the CD player. (They came back later to work on it)
The preteens were there early as usual, I had to yell at them at one point because they were getting too loud for the little kids to hear and it didn't help that it was raining too.
Instead of just telling the preteens the story of Esther, we tried to have them act it out! We gave them A LOT of time, but some of the groups ended up saying they didn't even read it! We were confused, how did they waste all that time?!?!?! Two groups actually did act their parts out, but Jordan, Elo, Laura and I ended up telling most of the story! And had to summarize it in the end because they were getting confused. But the kids were able to answer the questions we had. God's control was seen throughout the situation, even though the Bible didn't say "God controlled this..." or "God did this..." God controls both the big and the little things in our lives, sometimes when we don't even realize it!
After the lesson, we had our snack and ended up playing Duck, Duck, Goose! We only had 30 minutes left and because of the rain, we didn't want to chance anyone getting hurt on the court! These kids enjoyed it...although this game can get pretty dangerous too!
After preteens we ate some beans, rice and sausage. And then took some much needed naps! I didn't plan on napping, but it felt REALLY good!
With the teens we talked about God's control with Noah and the Ark and the time Jesus was on the boat with His disciples when the storm occurred. I think that most of them can see God's control in the stories, but are afraid to admit if God really has control of their lives. But Jordan asked them some awesome questions that hopefully will get them thinking!
We also started working on a skit with the Teens! It is based off of Matthew 7:21-23, when Jesus is talking about how not everyone who says and does things for Christ will go to Heaven, you have to have a RELATIONSHIP with Christ! He has to be Lord of your life! The teens threw out ideas of what a Christian looks like and what they do: Don't do bad things, Obey their parents, Go to Church, Read their Bible, Know the Bible Stories... and we tried our best to remind them that while these are important to further their walk with Jesus and deepen their relationship, just doing these things will not save you!
Well, our actors have their parts. A few people were ready to volunteer, while others were picked to help out! Edwardo raised his hand as fast as he could when we asked who wanted to be the last person in line who actually has the relationship with Christ and makes it into Heaven! I thought that was neat! Patrick is playing Jesus. Renan actually has two parts, we are going to let him "sneak" back in line, it was their idea and he is really wanting to be a part of the skit! So we are trying to make it theirs as much as possible without going overboard!
We did a dry run through. It was interesting. Some haven't taken it seriously yet, but I reminded them that their are some people who believe that Going to church is good enough, so this could hit some people pretty deep! I was hoping that they could make their own lines, I feel that sometimes it makes them take more ownership in their work, but they want it written out, so I will be working on that soon.
After Teens, we had a little bit of time to relax and run to the store to make more copies before Children's Worship Hour! We ended up getting to the Worship Hour late, but Sula had things in order! And Jordan and I had some good laughs in the car...Bill joined in too...the others were confused...(Jordan with her head in the door, living in trunks, getting a few coffins - but then again there is a bridge...these are some long stories...so don't worry about it!)
Things went pretty well with the kids, it isn't ever the same without Erika, but knowing her she will be out their in no time!
After Worship we ended up playing hand slapping games and other games outside the house. And then ate Pizza for dinner! YUMM!!
Jordan and I are pretty sure that we have figured out Sula's method of cleaning and putting things away! We are trying pretty hard! We wrote out our own to do list for Sula, that way to make sure she knows that we appreciate all that she does! And to give her a good laugh, we put the dishes away wrong the other day and she made fun of us!
Well, it is getting late! The Shower and then the Bed are calling my name! Hopefully we are heading to VQ tomorrow, but it also depends on how well Erika is feeling! Jordan and I are prepared either way! FLEXIBILITY is the word for the summer!!!
