Stratford, Conn. (WTNH) – During the month of June, the Nutmeg Clinic in Stratford is offering $20 spay and neuter surgeries for kittens and puppies between the ages of 3 and 6 months.
This is funded, in part, by PetSmart Charities. It's called "Precious, not Parents", and is designed to help reduce the number of homeless and unwanted pets. Most pets are able to have babies of their own by the time they are just 6 months old, so it's important to get then fixed before that. It also helps prevent a number of health problems later in life.
Nutmeg Clinic is open Monday-Thursday, and is located at 25 Charles Street.
For more information, go to http://nutmegclinic.org.

Boys' basketball: Loyola pulls out improbable victory
By all accounts, Los Angeles Loyola deserved to lose its Mission League game Saturday night against a young but improving Sherman Oaks Notre Dame team. The Cubs were behind by 11 points with six minutes left against a team that started two freshmen, two sophomores and a senior.
But the Cubs refused to accept defeat. They picked up their defensive pressure, forced some turnovers and waited for an opportunity. With 26 seconds left, Kennedy Edwards of Notre Dame missed the front end of a one-and-one, and Loyola got the ball trailing, 66-64.
Miles Cartwright had a turnaround jumper go in and out with eight seconds left, but the ball went off a Notre Dame player out of bounds. With six seconds left, Cartwright got the ball at the top of the key and drilled a three-pointer for a 67-66 Loyola victory.
Cartwright finished with 20 points to help Loyola improve to 17-1 and 6-1 in league. Notre Dame (12-8, 4-2), sending a message that it's a team of the future, received five three-pointers and 19 points from freshman Jahmel Taylor, 13 points from freshman Ausar Madison and 10 apiece from Edwards and Jeremy Sulker-Hall. The Knights are ranked No. 2 in Southern Section 4A and count on them making a big bid for the title.
As for Loyola, it's a good win considering the players were preoccupied with finals this week, and the Cubs have a showdown with first-place Harvard-Westlake on Friday night.
Harvard-Westlake defeated Chaminade, 68-48. Erik Swoope had 25 points and Damiene Cain had 20 rebounds. Crespi defeated Alemany, 74-65. Blake Stanton and Matt Mounier had 15 points apiece.
In the Olympic League, Campbell Hall defeated Cerritos Valley Christian, 74-51, with Austin McBroom scoring 24 points.

In the past, many people died before the age of 60, making it unnecessary to offer life insurance to anyone over that age. If policies were available, they were extremely expensive, deterring all but the wealthiest individuals. Advancements in medical care have made it much more likely that people will live past 60.
In fact, some people refer to 60 as the new 40, because many people live until their 80's or 90's. Over 60's life insurance cover is designed for people who did not purchase life insurance at an earlier age and want to save money when doing it now.
Since over 60's are no longer placed in the highest risk category, they receive lower rates for life insurance. Several UK insurance companies have begun offering special life insurance for the slightly more mature population. These plans are designed specifically for this age group and some offer guaranteed acceptance for a certain level of coverage.
This eliminates the need to have a medical exam in order to qualify. Therefore, over sixties who know or suspect they have health issues need not worry about being denied coverage.
Easily Compare Over 60's Life Cover – Simple Quote Process
Premiums are based on coverage level, age, gender, and smoking status. By quitting smoking at least one year prior to applying for an over 60's plan, people will significantly reduce their premiums. Men of all ages will pay more than women because they do not tend to live as long. However, the premium difference is not substantial enough to justify going without coverage.
These plans payout upon the death of the insured, allowing a person over 60 to arrange for a lump sum cash payment to one or more designated beneficiaries. When considering how much coverage to buy, people should factor in expenses that will result from their death and those that are ongoing such as a mortgage or loan payment.
Many people over sixty have entered or are nearing retirement, making it important to leave enough money for a surviving spouse or partner to live comfortably during the golden years.
Many people are having children later in life and this means that children may not be financially self-sufficient if parents die in their 60s. Other over 60-year-olds have young grandchildren whose parents may be struggling due to the economy. Providing for these younger generations through an over 60 plan benefit is one way to make their future bright. Children can establish themselves comfortably and grandchildren can attend university without taking out student loans.
When parents pass away, children are often left to handle the estate. Having extra money on hand to cover final bills, funeral costs, and the mortgage until the home is sold will be helpful. Children will not need to dip into their own savings to cover expenses related to the estate of a parent. If each parent purchases a separate policy, beneficiaries will receive a payout when each of these individuals dies.
Reading the fine print is always a smart idea, especially with insurance. A plan will not pay out within an initial coverage period of one or two years (determined by the insurance company) unless the death of the insured was accidental. However, some companies will return premiums paid when death occurs during this period.
This policy lasts for the lifetime of the insured unless premium payments cease. If the individual stops making payments or decide to cancel the policy, premiums already paid will not be refunded. People should consider all their options before purchasing because this policy never has a cash-in value. If an individual elects a high coverage level and lives for 20 or 30 years, total premiums paid could be more than the benefit provided at death.
Research shows that rates for this age group life vary by as much as 50 percent between insurance companies. Finding the best deal can be difficult because most people do not know where to look. As experts, we know exactly who offers this coverage and we can quickly compare coverage and rates to find you the best deals. You complete our online quote request form and we return quotes and policies for you to compare.
Our service is impartial and there is never any obligation to buy coverage. However, we do recommend considering several things if you choose to purchase. A guaranteed acceptance plan is the easiest to qualify for and an insurance company that features an excellent financial strength rating is considered the best.
Though shopping online with us is the most convenient way to find inexpensive over 60's coverage, we understand that some people in this age group are not comfortable with computers. Therefore, we have a customer service number that provides the same quotes offered through an online search.
Customer service representatives are available during extended hours throughout the week and also on Saturdays. If you are unable to reach us, request a callback and one of our experts will contact you in a short time.
Children and grandchildren can also help over 60's shop for life insurance. Our online quote request form will be easy for them to complete because it does not require very complex information. Children can submit the quote request and view the provided quotes with the individual requesting the coverage.
Just because you are getting older this does not mean that your life is not worth insuring. Special policies are available for people within this age group and we make them much easier to find. Applying for a policy is as easy as requesting a quote. Purchase a life insurance policy today to take care of loved ones after you have left them.

States going all in to expand gambling
Rely on revenue to limit tax hikes, deep budget cuts
- |
DES MOINES — Faced with a drop in gambling revenue, states are adding games, considering new casinos, and increasing lottery options — anything to keep their cut of the profits rolling in.
States are adamant that they do not want to take advantage of anyone, but with budgets in free fall and tax increases a losing hand politically, lawmakers acknowledge they are dependent on gambling dollars.
At least 18 states this year are looking to expand games of chance because of a drop of 5 to 14 percent in the money they collect from casinos, horse racing, lotteries, or other gambling.
"Absolutely, we're addicted to gambling dollars,'' said Iowa state Representative Kraig Paulsen, the House Republican leader and an opponent of plans to expand gambling in Iowa, which already receives about $300 million a year from the industry. "The current budget couldn't be close to being balanced without that money,'' he said.
The idea of luring people to gambling tables when they are being battered by the recession is an awkward one for state governments — a point raised by people who deal with the collateral damage from gambling.
The new blitz "makes gambling more enticing, makes people more curious,'' said Doug Billingsley, whose treatment center provides counseling for problem gamblers in Iowa.
Some gamblers say they do not know how they can afford to wager more when they are earning less.
"People don't have as much to spend,'' said Freda Lofthus, 71, as she was playing slot machines at Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino near Des Moines. "I spend about half of what I used to.''
But in state capitols, the urgent budget problems trump other concerns.
Pennsylvania, where recently legalized casinos have installed 25,000 slot machines over the past few years, is among states now allowing table games, such as poker, blackjack, roulette, and craps. New York is putting 4,500 video lottery terminals at the Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens. Governor M. Jodi Rell of Connecticut wants to offer keno in restaurants so that people can gamble while they eat.
Socially conservative states are no less ambitious. Lottery ticket machines have been installed in grocery stores in Florida, which also joined Powerball last year and is considering a second multistate game.
Kansas is promoting the outlaw ambience of Dodge City, which now lures gamblers with 600 slot machines and a full spread of gaming tables. Missouri casinos have upgraded their slots with dazzling 3-D graphics.
"As the recession became deeper, that expected revenue became more important,'' said Shaun Adamec, a spokesman for Governor Martin O'Malley of Maryland, where at least 10,000 slot machines are being installed in five locations.
The only alternative in Maryland and elsewhere would be raising taxes. "There's no appetite in the Legislature for an even modest tax increase,'' said Gary Tuma, a spokesman for Governor Ed Rendell of Pennsylvania, which hopes for an additional $140 million in the 2010-11 fiscal year from expanded gambling.
Clyde Barrow, a gambling researcher at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth, said states rationalize gambling "as a voluntary tax because nobody has to gamble.'' But he said studies show that many respond to the temptation.
"We do know the closer you put casinos to people, the greater propensity to gamble,'' Barrow said.

Currently there are some features that need to be completed and some bugs that prevent GIMP 2.8 from being finally released. Martin Nordholts just posted something about that on the official mailing list. There is also a discussion about spending money for fixing bugs (so-called bounties), which could be a good way to speed things up. However in the past the devs didn't like the idea of bounties, because it is difficult to determine what bugs are eligible of being bountied, and of course it isn't so easy to get a good workflow for a bounty-system in place.

All Turkey's border gates with Syria are to be closed from Wednesday, an official from the Turkish Customs and Trade Ministry told Reuters, in response to worsening security conditions.
Syrian rebels seized control of several gates on the Syrian side of the frontier over the last week in their 16-month-old uprising against President Bashar al-Assad.
The closure will halt the passage of vehicles between Turkey and Syria. Refugees from Syria, who have been fleeing into Turkey in their thousands to escape the conflict, cross the border through smuggling routes.
Tensions along the border were fuelled by the shooting down last month of a Turkish military reconnaissance jet by Syrian air defenses.
Ankara, which previously had close ties with Damascus, subsequently increased its military presence, sending anti-aircraft missiles to the border and scrambling planes when Syrian aircraft came close to Turkish territory.
Wednesday's move will close the only three border gates that were still open, at Cilvegozu, Oncupinar and Karkamis, the unnamed official said.
The official said Customs and Trade Minister Hayati Yazici would make an announcement on the decision at 0800 GMT.
Crossing the border had become increasingly hazardous for truck drivers involved in trade between the two countries. They faced the constant risk of being targeted by combatants or caught in the crossfire between the two sides.
Turkish Prime Minister Tayyip Erdogan said this week the uprising against Assad was "closer than ever to victory" and warned Turkey will respond firmly to any hostility from Syria.
Turkey has called for Assad to quit after he failed to heed calls for reform and the country has harbored Syrian rebels and tens of thousands of refugees along its border with Syria.
Syria's uprising started when political protests in March 2011 met a harsh government crackdown. As dissent spread and the death toll rose, many in the opposition took up arms and the conflict transformed into a civil war.
Syria's position as a geographic and political crossroads for the Middle East and beyond has given its conflict resonance far beyond its borders.
The U.S. and many Western nations have said that Assad must go, while Russia and China have stood by the regime and protected it from international condemnation by the United Nations Security Council.
Iran also counts Assad as a close ally and a bridge to the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah, which it funds and arms. On Tuesday, the commander of the Iran's powerful Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Masoud Jayazeri, warned of retaliation if any Arab countries intervened in Syria, The Associated Press reported.
Despite rising condemnation of Assad, no country appears ready to intervene militarily to push him from power. Still, a Syrian official on Monday threatened that Syria could use chemical or biological weapons if it were attacked from outside.
Russia on Tuesday rebuked Syria for the threat, reminding Damascus that it had ratified a global convention banning the use of chemical weapons. A foreign ministry statement said Syria must "unfailingly honor its international obligations."
In Israel, which shares a closed and hostile border with Syria, the military chief warned his own government that an Israeli attack on Syria's chemical weapons depots could drag the Jewish state into a broader war.
Israeli officials have expressed fears that chaos in Syria could allow non-conventional weapons to reach those who would use them against Israel.
Israel must move cautiously to avoid "a broader offensive than we planned," Lt. Gen. Benny Gantz said, according to the army's website.

Diabetes is a systemic disease which is characterized by an inability to produce insulin, with its respective hyperglycemia. Diabetic patients tend to have complications such as hiperosmolar condition due to lost electrolytes, and basically problems at the neural level (diabetic neuropathy) and complications in eyes, kidneys, lower limb and vascular system. The incidence in Mexico is 2 to 4 %.
There are several types of diabetes, although we can summarize them as follows:
1.Diabetes mellitus type I: Tends to occur in children and young adults, but can occur at any age. Individuals with special genetic predisposition, immune destruction of the insulin-producing cells determines a progressive loss of endogenous insulin. Therefore requires exogenous insulin to gain control of glucose, prevent Diabetic Cetoacidosis and sustain life.
2.Diabétes Mellitus type II: usually appears in 30 years. There has been observed a genetic predisposition, but pathogenesis is different from the type I diabetes patients; most patients are obese and many show the action of insulin resistance. Usually, endogenous insulin production should be sufficient to prevent cetoacidosis, but when the stress is very intense, they may receive cetoacidosis. These patients usually respond well to the oral hipoglicemiants.
3. The other diabetes mellitus (secondary) show hyperglycemia associated with another cause, such as a pancreatic disease, pancreatectomy, pregnancy, drugs or chemicals, syndrome cushing, acromegaly, and many rare congenital disorders.
The most useful homeopathic remedies in the treatment of diabetes are:
- Phosphorus
- Arsenicum album
- Lycopodium clavatum
- Phosphoricum acidum
- Lacticum acidum
- China officinalis
- Silicea
- Sulphur
- Calcarea carbónica
- Nitricum acidum
- Aceticum acidum
- Ignatia
- Chimapila
- Sizygium
- Argentum nitricum
- Arsenicum iodatum
- Lachesis
- Natrum sulphuricum
- Argentum metallicum
- Bryonia
- Aceticum acidum
- Thuja

First Reported Foal for Tourist is a Filly
WinStar Farm's Tourist, winner of the 2016 Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T), sired his first reported foal on the morning of Jan. 11 when a filly was born at Endeavor Farm in Versailles, KY.
WinStar Farm's Tourist, winner of the 2016 Breeders' Cup Mile (G1T), sired his first reported foal on the morning of Jan. 11 when a filly was born at Endeavor Farm in Versailles, KY.
A Phoenix-based ownership group that also includes Kentucky Downs president Corey Johnsen has purchased Yavapai Downs with plans to restart racing at the Prescott Valley, Ariz. track.
Off a strong September of Thoroughbred racing in the state, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on Oct. 17 approved a 2018 racing schedule similar to this year's schedule.
Kentucky Downs concluded a record-shattering five-date session up 34 percent in wagering on the all-grass meet that has stamped itself among the most unique experiences in American races.
Both houses of the Kentucky Legislature have approved a bill that would designate horses as livestock. Once signed by the governor, the new law would provide new benefits and legal consistency.
The keynote address at the first day of the National HBPA Convention March 8 in Las Vegas centered on partnerships horsemen can forge to improve the sport for everyone.
The HBPA is the world's largest organization representing Thoroughbred owners and trainers, with close to 30,000 members across the United States and Canada.
Kentucky Downs has renamed a major stakes event on its racing calendar to honor 2016 Breeders' Cup Mile (gr. IT) winner Tourist.
Steve Sexton, who served as president of Churchill Downs racetrack from 2002-09, died Dec. 12 according to family and friends.
Corey Johnsen, president and part-owner of Kentucky Downs, will give the keynote address at the National HBPA's 2017 convention March 8-11 at Las Vegas' South Point Hotel and Casino.
With record purses attracting full fields and low takeout sparking interest from horseplayers, Kentucky Downs closed its five-date boutique meet Sept. 15 with total wagering up nearly 34 percent.
One byproduct of the Churchill Downs Racing Club is the fact that Ellis racetrack owner Ron Geary and Kentucky Downs' co-owner Corey Johnsen can race their horses at their tracks.
Enhancing what already is American racing's most lucrative daily purse program, Kentucky Downs will pump an additional $600,000-plus into its 2016 overnight races and stakes for its five-date, all-turf meet in September.
Keeneland will begin its spring meet with a bump in overnight purses, but track officials hope it's the start of steady growth made possible by revenue from Lexington's historical race wagering facility.
The Kentucky Equine Education Project and Turfway Park March 14 said the Northern Kentucky track would rejoin the horse industry advocacy group and have a seat on the KEEP board of directors.
The Kentucky Equine Education Project is mobilizing support for House Bill 112, which will provide the same exemption from state sales tax on feed, supplies, and equipment that other agriculture animals receive.
Kentucky Downs and Churchill Downs will have no overlapping dates next year under a schedule approved Oct. 26 by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. Kentucky Downs had requested seven days, up from five this year.
Kentucky Downs near Franklin, Ky., has been re-accredited by the National Thoroughbred Racing Association's Safety and Integrity Alliance.
Regulators, as well as potentially affected track officials, had no easy answer Oct. 6 for Kentucky Downs' request to add two days to its short, successful September meet.
Kentucky Downs has named Ted Nicholson as vice president of the Franklin, Ky., track. Nicholson had been consulting with Kentucky Downs on its 2015 racing season prior to being named to this permanent position.
Kentucky Downs, which was rebuffed last year in its attempt to add racing days to its 2015 schedule, will try again for 2016, track president Corey Johnsen said Sept. 16.
Kentucky Downs has postponed its Sept. 12 race card because of a rain-softened turf course and will move each race to Sept. 14, according to track president Corey Johnsen.
Kentucky Downs cancelled its final eight races Sept. 10 after jockeys decided not to ride on a rain-softened turf course they felt was unsafe.
As Corey Johnsen bustled about Kentucky Downs on a steamy hot Sept. 4 afternoon, the president of the track near Franklin, Ky., mused about his expectations for the boutique meet set to begin the following day.
Fasig-Tipton Co. has signed on to be title sponsor of two $300,000 distaff turf stakes to run Sept. 19 at Kentucky Downs as part of "Fasig-Tipton Ladies Day."
Brad Kelley's Calumet Farm has signed on to be title sponsor of Kentucky Downs' premier stakes event for 2-year-olds.
The board of directors of the Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP) has unanimously approved a resolution calling for equine tax equity for Kentucky's horse industry.
Kentucky Downs recorded $8,425,830 in pari-mutuel handle on its historical race wagering machines from June 29 to July 5 to set an all-time weekly record, the western Kentucky track said July 7.
A record total of $7.5 million in purses will be offered during the 2015 Kentucky Downs meet, which runs for five days beginning Sept. 5 and offers a schedule of 12 stakes.
Attorneys for Kentucky Downs, some of its principals, and Encore Gaming have filed a motion seeking dismissal of a lawsuit filed by the AmTote totalizator company, stating that the claims are unfounded and undocumented.
Kentucky Downs will ask regulators May 6 to let it offer about $4.2 million in Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund supplements during its 2015 meet, as well as spend $50,000 to advertise the incentive program.
Joe Clabes has been appointed executive director of the Kentucky Equine Education Project, the organization's board of directors said April 27.
Kentucky Downs, which holds a short all-turf meet in September, has topped the 2015 Horseplayers Association of North America Racetrack Rankings.
The AmTote totalizator company has filed a federal lawsuit that claims Kentucky Downs, its principals, and a company that is now providing tote services to the track misappropriated trade secrets and breached a contract.
Lobbyist Joe Clabes has been hired to assist the Kentucky Equine Education Project in the 2015 legislative session in Kentucky, the organization's board of directors announced Feb. 9.
A pair of racetrack executives outlined plans to promote jockeys, and promote horse racing through the use of riders, at this year's Jockeys' Guild Assembly Jan. 19-20 in Hollywood, Fla.
Old Friends retirement farm near Georgetown, Ky. has announced a partnership with Kentucky Downs to establish a satellite facility at the Kentucky racetrack.
The Kentucky Equine Education Project's board is no longer supporting casino legislation in the Bluegrass state, but will support Instant Racing, a gaming form that has proven successful at two Kentucky tracks.
Under a plan approved Oct. 15 by the tracks involved, Kentucky Downs will continue to offer just five race days in 2015 but the Franklin, Ky., track will pick up an additional Saturday.
Representatives from Kentucky Downs, Churchill Downs, and Ellis Park failed to hammer out an agreement on 2015 September race dates in a Tuesday, Oct. 14, meeting facilitated by a KHRC committee.
A conflict over 2015 dates' requests for Churchill Downs and Kentucky Downs arose Sept. 30 when the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission's dates committee held the first of several meetings to consider the state's calendar.
Kentucky Downs closed out its highly successful 2014 live racing season Wednesday, Sept. 24, and the track established new records for wagering handle and starters per race during the five race-date season.
Kentucky Downs has designated its Sept. 24 card as Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation Day in support of a leading source of veterinary research for horses.
Six of Thoroughbred racing's all-time greatest jockeys will be at Kentucky Downs Sept. 10 to raise funds for the Permanently Disabled Jockeys' Fund.
The Kentucky Thoroughbred Development Fund Advisory Committee Sept. 5 approved formation of a subcommittee to explore possible purse bonuses or races for horses sired by Kentucky-based stallions.
Kentucky Downs has installed 16 surveillance cameras in the stable area for its 2014 racing season, which begins Saturday, Sept. 6.
One of the most prominent races of the upcoming Kentucky Downs meeting has been renamed the More Than Ready Mile after the internationally successful stallion standing at WinStar Farm.
Hall of Fame jockeys Pat Day, Laffit Pincay, Jr., Eddie Maple, Chris McCarron, and Randy Romero, as well as active riders Edgar Prado and Calvin Borel will be at Kentucky Downs for "Hall of Fame Day" Sept. 10.
The 2014 Kentucky Downs September meet will feature record purses in excess of $1 million per card for each of its five days. The Franklin, Ky., track will open Saturday, Sept. 6.
Stephen Panus, vice president of communications for the National Thoroughbred Racing Association, acknowledged many newspapers have discontinued racing coverage. He encouraged riders to embrace social media.

Land Acquisition Bill: A Reality Soon?
Rajya Sabha clears Land Acquisition Bill
The Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Bill, 2011 (LARR) is not far from becoming a reality now with the Rajya Sabha clearing it. The bill gives fair compensation and housing facilities to those whose land is acquired. But the bill is not restricted to land owners only; it also gives protection to those landless workers whose livelihood was dependent on their land.
Rural Development Minister Jairam Ramesh said that the law is open to suggestions and could also be amended after three-four years if the next government in power wants to.
Why the bill came up?
We often say that we want to be successful in what we do, don't we? We can say so about that our nation as well, right?
The present government, or the ones in the past and future, all aim to bring about the development of our nation. It wants to see that every person is economically and socially secure.
As we know that India is an agrarian economy. Therefore, in an effort of exploring more avenues, industrialisation started with the advent of globalization. It just didn't want to restrict itself to agriculture, and therefore, spread its wings towards industrialisation for growth.
But everything comes with a cost, and so was the case here.
Setting up of industries and business brought in huge investments for the country but that wouldn't have been possible without the land that was required to set up their infrastructure for offices. Infrastructure is a necessity for development.
But land was only made available to them at the cost of many lives.
It harmed a lot of people and deprived them off their rights. The people affected were farmers, adivasis (tribals), dalits (members of the lower caste), scheduled casts and scheduled tribes, and other tribal people. They were forcefully evicted from their own lands sans appropriate compensation and household facilities. This led to people holding protests against the government because they were getting deprived of their livelihood, their communities, homes and no security for future which their livelihood would provide.
We have witnessed many of such protests like the ones against Tata in Singur, and Nandigram in West Bengal, the Yamuna Express Highway, South Korea's Posco steel mill in Odisha, Arcellor Mittal's project in Jharkhand etc.
The list is endless it seems. It forces you to question whether this could ever be development. From here, it looks to me like a complete violation of human rights.
Social scientist Michael M Cernea said, "Expropriation of land, removes the main foundation upon which people's productive systems, commercial activities and livelihood are constructed. This is the principal form of decapitalisation and pauperization for most rural and many urban displacements, who lose this way both natural and manmade capital."
What's worse to know is that states have become so greedy that one ends up questioning their very intention behind their notion of development. Companies offer such lucrative deals that the state accepts without taking the whole picture into account. But like I said earlier, everything comes with a cost.
To acquire such deals, the government gives them incentives in the form of Special Economic Zones (SEZs). SEZs are certain geographical areas which the government allots to companies, and concessions are given to these companies to help them in carrying their business forward.
The companies couldn't ask for more.
While so-called development was underway on one side, people were suffering on the other. The government may claim that their actions are in tandem with the interest of the people, but what kind of interest is this that is achieved at the cost of someone else's interest.
Till now, land was being acquired under the Land Acquisition Act of 1894 which allowed acquisition of land for public purpose in exchange for monetary compensation. But neither did it provide any rehabilitation facilities for the displaced people, nor was the compensation provided enough.
But LARR 2011 addresses this issue very well.
The government has itself said that land acquisition and rehabilitation are two sides of the same coin. It has ensured appropriate compensation, housing, employment and transportation for the people displaced. It has given due importance to both rural and urban areas. Land will be returned to the land owner if the project is not implemented within five years. Land will be only be acquired after the consent of the people, and multi-crop agricultural land will not be sacrificed.
Loopholes in the bill
No body or nothing is perfect, so is the case here. After doing a little research I found that these are the issues with the LARR 2011, that need to be addressed.
1. The first issue is that when farmers are rehabilitated, they will, in a way, become skill-less. Since the transaction would probably be in cash, the lack of knowledge on part of the farmers may cause them to make bad investment choices. Not to mention that the government will provide employment to one member of the family, but what if the whole family is of farmers (both men and women of the household)? This will deprive others of their skills. Maybe the compensation should be in the form of land for land, and the provided land should be fertile enough to carry out farming even though at a small scale.
2. The second issue is regarding the value of land. According to the bill, the government will provide four times the market value of the land as compensation in rural areas, while it will be twice the amount in urban areas. The reality is that market value keeps fluctuating and therefore, chances are that there will be a fluctuation in the compensation amount. For example, there are two identical pieces of land, A and B, adjacent to each other in a rural area and the government decides to buy one of them, land A. Now let us assume that the market value is high during a particular period in time, therefore, the owner of land A will get a good compensation for his land that is bought at that time. But another situation may be that market value drops suddenly after that period and the government decides to buy the other piece, land B as well. Unfortunately, the second land owner will end up getting less in compensation. See, two identical pieces of land get different amounts of compensation. Therefore, the land owners should be allowed to value their respective land more than the market value because then a reasonable negotiation could take place and both parties will be able to make profits.
3. The third issue is regarding employment. The bill ensures that there will be employment for those whose livelihood depend on the land acquired. But what about those who transfer the produce from the farm to the market. I know they are the middlemen who have been denounced many times. But there may be honest middlemen as well who will end up suffering.
4. The fourth issue is the government's perception of "public purpose". The bill states that land acquired will be in the interest of the masses, which could help them. The government can also acquire land on the behalf of private companies only if they serve public purpose. But there is a flaw regarding the acquisition of land by private companies for public purpose. Just look at past examples like the one in Singur; they completely contradict this purpose. Even dams that were built in the past by acquiring land have not really helped people.
5. Also, the bill doesn't allow multi- crop agricultural land to be acquired (five percent of it is allowed) keeping food security in mind. But what about farmers who are willing to sell their agricultural land or those who don't want to pursue farming any more. This provision prevents them from pursuing other career options in the future.
6. And last but not the least, the corruption that exists among bureaucrats and politicians who are always on their toes to grab the land as soon as possible is a major concern. But this can be prevented if the whole process of land transfer becomes transparent, and proper land records in accordance with the market are maintained.
Clearly the LARR 2011 is much better than the inadequate Land Acquisition Bill of 1894 in which the landowners and peasants were greatly exploited by private companies as well as corrupt politicians. But it would be difficult to achieve these goals unless the government fills the loopholes and thereby protects the weak.

All, The spec says that if you use the @src attribute on xforms:message, and link traversal fails, you must throw an xforms-link-error event. So far so good. I am however wondering what the reasoning is behind sending xforms-link-error to the model. It makes sense for xforms-link-exception, which is thrown when processing an XForms model. But xforms-link-error is thrown when handling: o xforms:label, xforms:label, xforms:help, xforms:hint, and xforms:alert. In this case, sending the event to the associated control seems to make more sense to me. o xforms:load and xforms:message: in this case, I am not sure, but if a model receives the event, it makes it impossible to determine which link failed, for example. Also, it is not immediately obvious to the developer which model receives the event. Thoughts on this? -ErikReceived on Thursday, 6 October 2005 16:08:15 UTC

Wood-Boring Insect Detected in Michigan
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - A wood-boring insect that kills pine trees and also has turned up in New York, Pennsylvania and Ontario has been detected in Michigan, state and federal officials said Monday.
A single specimen of the Sirex Woodwasp was collected from a trap in Macomb County on July 6 and identified by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.The insect is native to Europe, western Asia and northern Africa. It first was found in North America in Oswego, N.Y., in 2004 and since has been detected throughout central New York, northern Pennsylvania and southern Ontario.
"At this point, we don't know whether this is part of an established Michigan infestation," Michigan Department of Agriculture Director Mitch Irwin said in a statement.
Officials don't think the pest will have a major impact on the state's nursery, landscape and Christmas tree industries. Macomb County is north of Detroit.
The larvae of the Sirex Woodwasp sever trees' conductive tissues, interrupting the movement of water and nutrients. Adult females lay their eggs in two- and three-needled pine trees, including Austrian, jack, red and Scotch pines.
Officials said they've been monitoring Michigan pine trees since the Sirex was found in New York. There are more than 250 traps throughout Michigan.
The state already is grappling with the impact of the emerald ash border, a half-inch, green insect responsible for the death and decline of more than 25 million ash trees in the United States.
Scientists believe that the beetle came to North America from Asia about eight or 10 years ago in wooden packing material.
Ash borer infestations have been found in more than half of Michigan's 83 counties since the pest was discovered in Detroit in 2002.

Preview: Arsenal v. Pompey
Last week I talked about our chances for this season, and while I know it's too early for those claims to be justified, it certainly feels good to start the season off with a bang. Putting six past a rival on opening day can make a pessimist pretty optimistic. So after two impressive results on their travels, Arsene`s troops return to N5 to play Portsmouth at the new Ashburton Grove, which has gone under the supporter`s surgical knife. With the help of REDaction, Arsenalization of the Grove has been in full swing since the Emirates Cup. I better see photos on forums from those going to the match tomorrow!
Onto the match. Considering the predicament that Pompey finds itself in at the moment, three points on Saturday looks like a given. This feeling of entitlement against supposedly lesser opponents has been our downfall in past seasons, but you have to get the feeling that this fatal flaw won`t rear its ugly head this time around. Confidence, self-belief, and a sense of caution are resonating around Arsenal dressing room this season. The squad looks to have galvanized together, and senior leaders like Fabregas, van Persie, Gallas, and Arshavin will be looking to stamp out any sense of compliancy throughout the ranks. That needs to start tomorrow.
Vital Pre-Match Quotes:
Wenger had this to say on the season's title race: 'The big task for United is replacing the goals that Cristiano Ronaldo scored over the last few seasons. You can say whatever you like about Ronaldo, but you have to admit he had two fantastic qualities. Firstly, he was never injured. Secondly, he put the ball in the back of the net. I'm surprised that they didn't reinvest more of the money they got for Ronaldo, but they may do that in January. Manchester United, of course, will continue to be a major force in the championship, but you can see that where we drew four times 0-0, they won them 1-0, sometimes because Ronaldo made the difference.
About Liverpool and Chelsea, Wenger said: 'Alberto Aquilani will be a good player, but they have lost a great player in Alonso. He was the brain of the game for Liverpool last season. I don't expect them to struggle this season, but people might have a little question mark about how they replace Alonso.'
'I still think that Chelsea will be a main threat for the championship, but their squad is a year older which might have an impact when they have to repeat the games in short succession'
Portsmouth Team News:
Portmsouth comes into the match without a point, after losing to both Fulham and Birmingham in the past week. The lack of transfer funds have some Pompey fans fearing the worst for the club this season. Hreidarsson, Primus, and Finnan are out, while Diop is a doubt.
Predicted Portsmouth XI: James, Vanden Borre, Distin, Kaboul, Wilson, Kranjcar, Diop, Mokoena, Belhadj, Utaka, Piquionne.
Portsmouth Player to Watch: John Utaka
Utaka is blessed with dynamic pace, but he has problems combining his speed with the required technical ability to make it in the EPL. Sound familiar? On his day he can cause the best outside backs problems, so Sagna and Clichy will have to be on alert.
Arsenal Team News
Good news is that Arsenal's injury list hasn't gotten any longer, but it hasn't gotten shorter either. Walcott still hasn't recovered from a back injury, but Wenger said it was a matter of days not weeks. I seem to remember him saying that exact thing in January 2008 about a certain Czech. Nasri, Djourou, Rosicky, and Fabianski are all still out, while Eduardo has recovered from a tight hammy that kept him out of the Celtic match.
Predicted Arsenal XI: Almunia, Sagna, Gallas, Vermaelen, Clichy, Song, Denilson, Fabregas, Bendtner, van Persie, Arshavin
Arsenal Player to Watch: The Front Three
Bendtner, van Persie,and Arshavin have started up front in the 4-3-3 against Everton and Celtic, but they haven't put their name on the score sheet yet. Even though we haven't lacked goals in those games, it is important for them to get the ball rolling very soon because we can't always rely on defenders, midfielders, and the opposition to get the goals for us. I expect at least two of them to find the net tomorrow.
Quick Vital Stats:
Arsenal has not lost to Portsmouth in 19 league and cup matches (W:11 D:8)
Arsenal has only lost one game in 2009
Portsmouth have yet to win an away game in 2009
Ref Watch: Steve Bennett
Steve Bennett will be the head official for this match. Last season he handed out 79 yellow cards and no red cards in 22 EPL matches. This gives him a 3.59 card per game average.
Match Prediction
Portsmouth are really struggling right now, and I can't see anything but an Arsenal win. These are the games we might have slipped up in last year, but not this season.
I`ll go with a 4-0 home win. Goals to come from van Persie x2, Arshavin, and Eduardo off the bench
Upcoming Fixtures
26/8 (Wed) - Celtic (h) - Champions League
29/8 (Sat) - Man United (a) - Premier League
12/9 (Sat) - Man City (a) - Premier League

I strongly disagree for many reason the biggest two being experience and stability. Gores experience is the reason he had another 1000+ yard season and why he doesnt need elite speed or moster size to rack up yards on great defenses, we also dont know how stabil Lattimore will be in his first season back from what to most people would be a career ending injury. Even if after half season if hes still in perfect physical shape Lattimore would benefit this team much more with the opprotunity to learn and understand how to be an nfl rb from a rb who probably has the best vision in the league.

text: Drones Secrecy At The Dayton Development Coalition? WYSO's Lewis Wallace Talks To Lynn Hulsey By Lewis Wallace • Mar 13, 2014 Lewis Wallace / WYSO This week on Under Construction we're talking accountability: how are public funds for economic development spent and how are they tracked? Dayton Daily News investigative reporter Lynn Hulsey recently found the Dayton Development Coalition isn't forthcoming with that information. The coalition, which is a nonprofit, funnels millions in government funds to local development projects. Sinclair Pursues Drone Testing By Associated Press • Feb 26, 2014 Flickr Creative Commons User Sinclair Library The state may have been passed over as a drone testing site, but a Sinclair community college is moving full speed ahead on the development, teaching and application of drone technology. Sinclair announced Monday that its workforce development office has applied for two new certificates of authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to fly a new unmanned aerial system. After FAA Rejection, Dayton Business Leaders Look Inward, Move Forward By Emily McCord • Jan 3, 2014 Lewis Wallace / WYSO The Federal Aviation Administration handed down its decision earlier this week that the Dayton region was not selected as one of the six national test sites for commercial drones. The news comes after months of preparation from business and industry officials, as well as Ohio's political leaders. But Chris Ford with the Dayton Development Coalition says it won't change the game for the drone industry in the region. Southwest Ohio Passed Over For Drone Testing By Lewis Wallace • Dec 31, 2013 Lewis Wallace / WYSO Southwest Ohio was passed over as a drone test site. On December 30, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) announced it will develop test sites for unmanned vehicles in Alaska, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Texas and Virginia, which the agency says together provide the necessary climatic and geographic diversity for testing. Ohio Training Students For Civilian Drone Jobs By Associated Press • Dec 23, 2013 Some schools across the state are preparing students for a boom in the drone industry once the federal government, as is expected, allows civilian unmanned aircraft to fly in U.S. airspace. The Federal Aviation Administration has until 2015 to present a plan for safely integrating drones into national airspace. Sinclair Community College already is training students for jobs using the technology, and Kent State University is doing the same. Want A Drone? WYSO's Lewis Wallace Talks Regulations With Maurice McDonald By Lewis Wallace • Dec 19, 2013 Lewis Wallace / WYSO Right now, if you can spare the cash, you can buy your own drone—or unmanned aerial vehicle, as the industry likes to call them. You can buy local, too, because the Dayton area is trying to shape itself as a hub for the growing commercial drone industry. In a couple years local companies would like to be using them for agricultural purposes, emergency response, entertainment, even surveillance. "The FAA really needs to address the procedures and policies associated with flying these systems," says Maurice McDonald at the Dayton Development Coalition. Southwest Ohio Gears Up For FAA Decision On Drone Testing By Lewis Wallace • Dec 10, 2013 Lewis Wallace / WYSO Click here for the extended story on American Public Media's Marketplace. The Federal Aviation Administration is expected to make a decision soon about where to open up air space for the testing of commercial drones. Southwest Ohio is competing to become one of six sites around the country as the FAA prepares to regulate the commercial drone industry by late 2015. Dayton Business Leaders Say Ohio Is Ready For UAS Testing By Emily McCord • Sep 5, 2013 Emily McCord Unmanned Aerial Systems, or UAS, was the focus of an informational meeting Wednesday in Xenia.

As Las Vegas is very popular for its reputation as the "Sin City", every person that does not live here might think that everyone in Las Vegas either works in the entertainment and hotel business or simply lives in a hotel. It is hard for them to fathom the possibility that Las Vegas is also home for some of the finest neighborhoods in the United States where families and retirees live. Here are some of the best neighborhoods in the city.
In 1990, the transformation of Summerlin began turning thousands of acres of raw desert land into one of the greatest master-planned communities the United States. These Las Vegas luxury homes are now highly sought after, as they offer many luxurious amenities and are perfectly located at a distance, West of the Las Vegas strip. As a prospective home buyer, you'll find outstanding communities to choose from such as The Ridges, One Queensridge Place, Red Rock Country Club, and the Paseos making the northwest valley one of the most popular areas for home purchases.
With areas like Boca Park and Canyon Point, shopping and dining options seem almost limitless. You'll find yourself entertained and indulged at local hot spots. Whatever you're looking for, chances are you'll find it here. There's no doubt you'll find plenty to do around here as well.
Green Valley
According to the City of Henderson records, Green Valley consists of about thirty-eight hundred acres. Green Valley north where it all began back in 1978, is just south of Green Valley's commercial corridor on Sunset Road. Here, you'll find a mix of townhomes, single-family condos and apartments. During its construction in 1978, Henderson's population was only around 23,000 and by 1990 it had grown to over 71,000. Today the Green Valley is used as a reference point for its upscale status.
Downtown Las Vegas
Downtown is the neighborhood closest to the heart of Las Vegas. This is the first choice to stay if your work is within the city. There are many high-rise properties and liveable workspaces that are also ideal for residential living. In Downtown, it looks like everywhere else around the city is walkable. Another perk includes being close to almost all amenities for city lifestyle and comfort such as cafes and bars, fitness gyms, parks, theaters, casinos, etc.
Centennial Hills
This is located far northwest of the city. Centennial Hills have old-style homes with the vast estate as well as newer houses in master-planned subdivisions. If your job is somewhere north and you don't mind the commute, this place is great for investment as you can get more for your money based on square footage. Centennial Hills is also the location for Providence- a 1,200 acres land being developed as a master-planned community.Read More

Here is my review of the important fur trim fashion looks for
Autumn 2011 and Winter 2012. The use of fur worked especially
well with sixties baby doll and seventies hippy chic themes.
Coats are great statement making top cover and are a
considered purchase for most women. Not all women want the
full-on look of a totally fur coat. Many might prefer a fur trim
padded parka or
a fur trimmed wool
For those who like the opulence of fur, but have to spend
wisely, choosing a classic seasonless garment
with a detachable fur collar may be the answer to your coat
dilemma. Texture is a fashion feature of material today. Rich texture is easiest to do if you select fur collars and jackets
of fur. Maribou feathers in rich jewel colours add exotic
alternative texture to hems, cuffs and necklines. Shearling handbags and
Mongolian furs add texture that is layered to enhance contrast
between material.
In Autumn Winter 2011/12 you can select a reworked silhouette style from at
least 5 different decades of the C20th this season, so a fur
trim coat styled like these 1920s wrap shapes could take
you into the next big Boardwalk Empire coat trend.

Snakeskin is the material of Autumn 2011. Now designers play
more with reptilian prints such as crocodile, python and
alligator. The must-have 'it' print of the moment is snakeskin.
It's used not just for boots and shoes, but also for belts, bags
and fabric prints. Snakeskin is the pattern foundation used for
vibrant colour prints in rich hues of sea green and golden
Snakeskin Jacket & Fur Collar, Wool Jacket & Fur Collar -

Note the Fedora hats and acknowledgement of 70s sunglasses and
pussy bow blouses.
Snakeskin imagery is also being used in jewellery, scarves,
spectacles, footwear and handbags. I love the snakeskin bangles
at Harvey Nichols and the snakeskin boots from Prada.
At Chloe snakeskin looked at home on bucket bags making
statement making accessories with a sixties vibe. For a more
affordable take try the snakeskin clutch at Banana Republic. You

Eviction's deadly turn no surprise to law officers
College Station shooting remains under investigation
Updated 10:03 am, Wednesday, August 15, 2012
When the news flashed across Texas on Monday that a constable had been gunned down while serving eviction papers, law officers in Harris County were shocked but not surprised.
That's because enforcing court orders such as evictions, removing a child, or the seizure of personal property creates some of the most volatile situations officers face. Police in College Station are continuing their investigation into the shooting of Constable Brian Bachmann, who died Monday in an exchange of gunfire with a renter he was attempting to evict near the Texas A&M campus.
The shooter, Thomas Alton Caffall III, was killed along with bystander Chris Northcliffe, 51, of College Station. Several police officers were wounded.
"I was saddened about what happened, but I wasn't surprised," longtime Precinct 1 Chief Deputy J.C. Mosier said.
Only two weeks ago, Mosier said, Precinct 1 deputies attempting to evict a woman ended up chasing her across a busy Houston freeway after she armed herself with a butcher knife. They were able to use a Taser to keep her from jumping off an overpass, he said.
"Basically, you're taking someone's home away from them, even if they don't own it," Mosier said. "You're going to remove someone from their home, and I don't know how you can do anything more emotional than that. So the emotions are going to be higher than in almost any other call. We warn our deputies, and we train for it. It's frightening."
What's behind door?
Constables from several offices said they have to evict up to 30 residents a day, some forcibly.
Last year, the seven Harris County constables were ordered to serve 437,169 documents of all types, including evictions, lawsuits, subpoenas, jury summonses, citations and writs to collect court awards, said Precinct 1 Deputy Constable Bob Hilscher.
The constable's slaying in College Station was a tragedy, Hilscher said, but it's the reason they advise officers to be cautious in every encounter. "When you go knock on someone's door, you don't know who's there," he said, "even if it's just serving a jury summons."
Capt. Dennis Kuithe, who heads the civil process division for Precinct 5 Constable Phil Camus, said deputies have twice attempted to serve eviction papers on tenants who committed suicide as officers entered the residence.
"A year ago, we were doing an eviction in an apartment, and when officers made entry the resident committed suicide," Kuithe said. "Right when they opened the door, they heard the rifle go off."
A year earlier, Kuithe went to the scene of a suicide in which a man shot himself during an eviction. Officers found his body in a closet.
"When you walk up to the door and it's closed, you have no idea what's behind the door," Kuithe said. "They could be standing there with a gun, a baseball bat, a machete." The officers involved, he said, "have no idea."
'Worst-case scenarios'
In Precinct 7, Lt. Anil Sharma said deputies often find themselves evicting armed residents, citing recent incidents involving a security guard and a parole officer.
"We find a lot of weapons. We find stolen guns. We find guns they don't tell us about," Sharma said. "And one of the worst-case scenarios is when … these guys show up and want to engage the deputies. We try to provide them with extra backup and extra coverage."

This Wednesday, in a historic decision, County Attorney Mike Freeman listened to our community and moved toward transparency and accountability by deciding not to use a grand jury in the Jamar Clark case in Minneapolis. Further, his statement extended into future police shooting cases in the county. This huge win, which is a game-changing step toward a new system of police accountability in Minneapolis and across the country, would not have happened without you.
In December, we launched a petition, participated in marches and vigils, and made many phone calls to end grand juries in police shootings. Here is our statement on Wednesday's announcement:
Today, Hennepin County Attorney Mike Freeman listened to the community and took a bold step toward transparency and accountability by deciding not to use a grand jury in the Jamar Clark case, or in future police shooting cases in Hennepin County.
After four months of organizing including the encampment at the 4th Precinct, marches, thousands of petition signatures, phone calls to Freeman's office, Freeman Friday protests, an open letter from Jamar Clark's parents imploring Freeman not to use a grand jury, and precinct caucus resolutions all over the metro area to end grand juries in police shootings, Freeman announced today he would not use a grand jury to determine whether to charge the officers who killed Jamar Clark. Today's announcement is an acknowledgment that the grand jury is an antiquated legal tool. This decision is a clear reflection of pressure from the community and listening to our concerns about transparency and accountability.
"We thank County Attorney Freeman for taking this important step toward police accountability," said Anthony Newby, executive director of Neighborhoods Organizing for Change. "In cities across the Midwest, black-led organizing is leading a movement for more accountability for officer-involved shootings. This week, Chicago and Cleveland voted out county attorneys who've failed to deliver justice for their communities while overpolicing them. Ferguson, MO has accepted important changes from the Department of Justice. Freeman's decision not to use a grand jury in Minneapolis is the latest example of a shift in power in the Midwest. Organizing works."
Freeman's decision today is a game-changing step toward a new system of police accountability, in Hennepin County and across the country. To everyone who signed a petition, made a phone call, or joined a march: thank you. Today's victory is yours, and an important step toward #Justice4Jamar. We will continue fighting for justice for Jamar--and as today's victory reminds us, when we fight, we win.

Congress is closing Ft. Dix. Turning it into a prison or an amusement park for those who missed the Vietnam War. Or maybe a Bill Bennett Camp for Youthful Offenders. This is hardly a new idea. In the winter of 1968, I spent some time at Ft. Dix as a guest of the government. Several of my fellow soldiers were there at a judge's suggestion.
Basic-training bases are now quite modern. The troops live in nice brick barracks and eat in modern facilities, and I'm glad they do. But Ft. Dix in 1968 was still pretty much a relic of World War II. The barracks were drafty, made of wood and heated by coal. The mess halls were rat- and roach-infested. The training facilities were a wreck. The transport vehicles, when they were available, were Korean War vintage. In the summer Dix was a swamp. In the winter it was Stalingrad.
The boot camp companies were made up of the unlucky and the uncomprehending. A good percentage were there because the judge said it was either that or jail. Among those was Domingo Vega (not quite his true name), who eventually became my buddy.
Domingo was a huge kid from Hingham, Mass. He had arms as big around as my leg and a clever and mean sense of humor, which I came to like. He evidently had cleaned out a bar somewhere on the South Shore. At the resulting trial the judge suggested that he'd get more fresh air in the army than in the alternative, not unlike what Bennett suggests for wayward youth today.

Does anyone have a phone number for Chipper Jones? The New York Yankees are looking for him.
It's no secret that with Alex Rodriguez sidelined until at least the All-Star break because of hip surgery, the Yankees are in need of some help on offense.
General Manager Brian Cashman on Monday said there is one guy he wouldn't mind bringing aboard to help: Chipper Jones, who retired after last season after a 19-season career with the Atlanta Braves.
But Cashman said he did not have a working telephone number for Jones' agent, B.B. Abbott, so he told the reporters they could report his interest through Twitter as a way of letting Jones know.
