I have just bought a 1983 Dodge Ram D150 Prospector. Its in pretty good shape to start with but I want to restore it and maybe make it a show truck but I can't find any websites or catalogs to help with the restoration of the truck. If anyone knows of a website or a catalog I can get parts like engine rebuild kit, door seals to the original hubcaps that would be great for the help.Thank you
try lmc truck. and google it n 2 the search and it should bring up a lot of parts
try JC Whitney thats where i got my door jam seals, other than that maybe go to junkyard cause LMC doesnt make parts for dodges as old as ours. Mine didnt come with original hubs otherwise i would give them to you. If you find anymore info please let me know. thanks
I found this place online called Jim's Auto Parts. Seems like they carry a lot of hard-to-find Mopar stuff. Here's their page for the '72-'93 Ram. Hope this helps.
Have you had any luck on this? I see your post is kinda old but I just acquired an 83 D150 Prospector and over all it is in great shape but it has been sitting under a tree for about 10 years and the bed has some rust spots from leaves falling in it and rotting away. I have done endless research trying to find stock parts for the restoration and am having issues finding anything...

December 3, 2012
The federal government each year recruits and hires roughly 400 graduate students in areas ranging from IT to acquisition to human resources to participate in two-year fellowships as part of the Presidential Management Fellows program. So how satisfied are these young workers with their federal job experience?
According to a new Partnership for Public Service survey of 274 of the 420 fellows in the 2011 class, most fellows are satisfied with the work experiences in the initial stages of the program -- giving the government a score of 72.7 out of 100, eight points higher than the job satisfaction score of all employees governmentwide, as measured by the Partnership's annual Best Places to Work survey. That score is comparable to the job satisfaction of all new federal employees under the age of 30, the Partnership found.
PMFs also generally like and respect their immediate supervisors, have realistic expectations for the program and come with motivation to serve the public, the survey found.
The survey did raise some red flags, however. For example, more than one-third of PMFs felt their first assignments did not always make good use of their talents, and 39 percent did not believe that their first assignment served their developmental needs. Forty-three percent of PMFs also felt their supervisors did not fully understand how the PMF program works, and 40 percent said they did not get the guidance they needed early on from agency coordinators.
"Unless remedied, these lapses could undermine the purpose of the PMF program and discourage participants from continuing careers in federal service," the report states.
Last year, the government officially launched a Technology Fellows Program as part of the Obama administration's 25-point plan to reform federal IT management. The new fellowship program, which falls under the PMF program, appoints technology students who are expected to complete a master's or doctoral-level degree to serve a two-year paid fellowship with the federal government.
The first class of fellows in the technology program did not begin their fellowships until 2012, however, meaning the Partnership did not gauge their specific opinions in the survey. Still, the survey holds implications for assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the overall program and helping agencies make the changes necessary to recruiting and retaining the highly-skilled technology workers participating in the program.

Ten... active camcorders
Shoot to thrill
Sony DEV-3 digital recording 3D binoculars
Admittedly not a compact, but Sony's inventive DEV-3 digital binoculars certainly falls under the 'active' category. Aimed at twitchers and super-spys, the DEV-3 digital binos record in MPEG-4 MVC 3D and 2D AVCHD. There's a 10x (2D) zoom enhanced with an effective SteadyShot Active Mode. Although mostly automatic, there's convenient manual focus for when you want to hold what may be a flighty target in sharp relief.
Picture quality is high; Sony has grafted decent G lens optics to a Dual Exmor R CMOS sensor. The DEV-3 records to SD/SDHC/SDXC cards or Memory Stick; you can also snap digital still images with a maximum resolution of 7.1MP in 4:3 ratio or 5.3MP in 16:9. Battery life runs to around 3 hours. File under: utterly unique... and expensive.

Sony HDR-GW55VE waterproof Handycam
Buoyed by the success of its 'net share Bloggies, Sony has developed this waterproof pistol gripper. The HDR-GW55VE is dust and drop (to 1.5m) resistant, not to mention water proof down to an impressive 5m. The shooter uses the brand's Exmor R CMOS sensor and Sony G lens, and boasts an extensive 10x optical zoom. There's also Optical SteadyShot with Active Mode for judder free panning and 3in screen.
The HDR-GW55VE shoots 1080/50i AVCHD onto Memory Stick Micro or Micro-SD/SDHC card, and grabs still images from a 5MP sensor. To compensate for colour discrepancies when you go diving there's an underwater shooting mode. Even better, the HDR-GW55VE will geotag all your footage thanks to on-board GPS. All well and good, but it is pricey with not much discounting around at the moment.

ELYRIA - Following the two recent shootings in the area of Melvyn Lane and numerous drug problems in the surrounding area, Elyria police have decided that enough is enough.
Police spent the better parts of Tuesday and Thursday evening in the area conducting investigations and making arrests.
"The detective, narcotics and neighborhood impact units all combined to form a task force," said Lt. Bill Pelko. "We went through the area with the intent of making arrests and curbing the criminal actions that have been taking place in the area of Westway Gardens."
A total of 12 arrests were made over the course of the two days.
Additionally, police recovered a semi-automatic pistol, a stolen vehicle, various amounts of drug paraphernalia and varying amounts of marijuana, crack cocaine and heroin.
"There have been a number of disturbing events that have taken place in the area recently," Pelko said. "People shooting between a house and a vehicle, a kid being shot in the leg, things like that are unacceptable and we want to curb that violence."
He said the plan was for the police to be proactive, rather than reactive.
That is why they entered the area without any particular crimes in mind.
"We were looking for anyone committing a crime, whether it be running a red light or shooting a gun," Pelko said. "Obviously, we were placing a greater emphasis on gun and drug-related crimes, but we were just as willing to pay attention to a motor vehicle infraction."
Pelko said he hopes the initiative of the task force made an impact on people in the area and that it will lead to a decrease in illegal activities in the area.
"These two nights of patrol were the culmination of the activities in the area," Pelko said. "However, if the activities continue, we have no problem with continuing to do this type of an effort in the area and other areas."
The 12 arrested during the two night patrol are:
. Ralph Tidmore, 32, of Cleveland, trafficking in heroin
. Joshua Randolph, 35, of Elyria, possession of crack cocaine and illegal use of food stamps
. Jennifer Salisbury, 41, of Elyria, permitting drug abuse and possession of drug paraphernalia
. Samantha Conner, 18, of Elyria, receiving stolen property and driving under suspension
. Justin Geyer, 29, of Elyria, possession of cocaine and possession of drug paraphernalia
. Debra Moodt, 25, of North Ridgeville, possession of cocaine and endangering children
. Jesus Cruz, 32, of Elyria, possession of heroin and possession of marijuana
. Luis Sanchez, 34, of Elyria, possession of heroin and possession of marijuana
. Dan Altomare, 24, of Elyria, possession of marijuana and contempt of court
. Lovell Graham, 23, of Lakewood, possession of marijuana paraphernalia
. Robin Hancock, 48, of Elyria, possession of marijuana paraphernalia
. Jason Snyder, 32, of Elyria, driving without a license.

NCUHS Seeks "High Road" With Track
NEWPORT CITY – North Country Union High School teacher and track coach Gary Johnson had his say about the newly refurbished track at Tuesday night's full board meeting.Last year the school board agreed to refurbish the track providing the project used no taxpayer dollars. Johnson made a commitment to head up the fundraising efforts and, to date, he has raised about $88,000. Later in the year, the board agreed to start the project even though there wasn't enough money. Johnson attended Tuesday's meeting to "clarify" things stated in the paper recently. He told the board that last July the fundraising committee had $85,000, had plans to raise more and was hoping for a state grant. Johnson also presented three possible plans and left the July meeting with the idea of possibly leasing the track, an idea that came from business director Glenn Hankinson. However, a 2007 state law does not allow a municipal lease.Unbeknownst to Johnson, the finance committee brought the idea of refurbishing the track to the full board, which agreed to support it. Later on, Johnson met with Hankinson, athletic director Mike Kiser, principal Bill Rivard and superintendent Dr. Robert Kern to set the project budget between $180,000 and $200,000. The project ended up costing $188,000 and $12,000 was for new pole vault pits.Johnson said the board took the high road when it decided to proceed with replacing the outdated track and the board should recognize the track was an enormous community effort."The board's current position is that this has been an assigned project to the finance ops committee," said Amaliksen, who said the anticipated grant money ended up going for Tropical Storm Irene relief. The board needs to continue to support the track, Amaliksen said."We're not going to tear up the track that's out there and send it back to somebody," said AmaliksenOne way to solve the cost problem is to use excess cash from the sale of school buses. Amaliksen and school board member Peter Moskovites, of Charleston, said the bills for the track have been paid through the cash flow account. "We have a checking account, which has lots of money in it," Moskovites said. "By the end of the year we have to reconcile. We will take care of it. Cash flow, that's what it is." The committee has put the issue off until the budget cycle is over, Moskovites said.Board member Richard Cartee, of Newport City, who said no board member opposed the track, reminded the board that the project was not to use any tax dollars."I have no problems having it there, but I think we misled the public and that's where we got into trouble," said Cartee. "If we had a cash flow and we were going use the budget money, then tell them, don't tell them, 'No we will not use taxpayer money'.... My concern is, technically and in words, we misled the public when we said no tax dollars will be used," said Cartee. "If we had asked them, they probably would have said yes, but we didn't ask them."Board Member Deb Cogan of Newport City said the track was supposed to be a community-funded project. She said the track had been deteriorating and was not safe to use. Johnson promised that the committee will continue to fundraise but it will not be able to raise another $88,000."The finance ops still has a charge from this board to come up with the funds in a way that meets the requirements that we put forward," Amaliksen said. "If they have a difficult time with it, then they have to come back to the full board for approval. We did not go around any areas in a way to deceive people; it was all above board and it was done for the betterment for the community and our students especially."

I'm watching Sea Patrol on Hulu Plus.Does the Australian Navy really have a gap year program where kids between HS and University work on their boats for 1 year?
He just, looked... didn't seem like he was talking himself into jumping in the water, that he was waiting for someone.. If he was waiting for people to leave the lane then he could have waited a long time, we were always at least 5 people in the lane.
Can anyone find me a reason why a grown men, in the middle of the afternoon, would decide to go to the swimming pool, change into his suit, go sit on the edge of the pool for 15 before putting on his swimming cap, and then still stay sitted for at least another 30min? I think when I left he got out too since I didn't see him in the water (changing rooms open on a balcony that overlook the pool.)He just, looked... didn't seem like he was talking himself into jumping in the water, that he was waiting for someone.. If he was waiting for people to leave the lane then he could have waited a long time, we were always at least 5 people in the lane.Anyone think it's a bit creepy? I didn't want to give a bias (I mean, there must be a logical reason), but if I tell you that while he was there two groups of kids where there...I didn't see him ogling them more than a normal person would, and between the pool's staff and the kids teachers others must have noticed him and not thought it was anything weird but still.And the kids where making so much noise that I would never have stayed more than I needed myself..
<snip>I'm sure I looked equally strange last week when the day after a dear family friend died I got out of bed, put on my exercise clothes, set up my treadmill and dvd, started the treadmill and then just stood there with my feet on the edge. Eventually I stopped the treadmill and just stood on the treadmill for a while, staring into space. I was trying to live as normal but when it came to the crunch I was just too sad to do anything.
How small are the pools where people don't expect to share lanes? The largest pool at the place I go to has maybe ten lanes and I'm trying to imagine the riot that would ensue if people were told that they had to wait for their turn. There's another pool there that's used for swimming laps but it has even less lanes and the place has something like a thousand visitors a day (though not everyone swims laps, of course). Fortunately the large pool is 50 m long and the lanes are wide enough that passing isn't a problem. I go there every week and I haven't seen any problems.
That is what I would say too, but I call mine a truck.

Remote-Controlled Planes Used For Wildlife Conservation 48
" When you go into the desert with a rifle, you have respect for the cacti. [wikipedia.org] They stand tall and proud, some of them have been there for over 100 years. They're like the wise old men of the desert, you respect 'em. But jackrabbits, man, the motherfuckers are like flies. You can shoot 'em all day long. "
"pigeons are like flies"
I hear the same used to be said about passenger pidgeons in the 19th century with their 3bn+ bird flocks.
Didn't turn out so well though.
For those who missed it, a few days ago we had a Huge discussion [slashdot.org] on that topic, about the rights and wrongs of UAVs, surveilance, etc.
Now I wonder how long it will be before some asshat uses UAVs for completely illegal or unethical things like stalking, attacking people, drug smuggling, etc. and gets the government cracking down on the whole concept like Megaupload and torrent sites.
I know Sea Shepherd are using UAVs for their anti-whale hunts now, and some people consider them terrorists. How long before some political group decides to use UAVs to intimidate opponents, or some Muslim kids playing with UAVs gets labeled as "terrorists scouting out targets"?
They're using the DIYDrones [diydrones.com] ArduPilot [diydrones.com], the image in the article shows the ArduPilot Mission Planner [google.com] software. For a few hundred dollars you can turn an RC aircraft into an autonomous craft, it's a very nifty project.
I'll have to get some of that! I've got an RC plane I don't use much because I don't like paying for repairs when I inevitably crash it.
I guess it's popular to link anything and everything to a conspiracy theory, and that's a commentary on our culture. Like anything, drones are a tool. There's nothing to indicate that these environmentallists using drones to survey wildlife has anything to do with da gubbmint watching you, simply that the confluence of cheap, high quality GPS units, computing, and electronics is now making possible applications that were simply infeasible in times past. This type of progress is due to the advancement of technology, not the advancement of a gubbmint agenda.
Perhaps you missed the part that not only is this drone unmanned, it's unpiloted. Unlike R/C planes which have a limited, set range, this model has waypoints that it uses GPS location to navigate to, extending the range well beyond that possible with normal radio control.
To me, it's a bit silly to call a model airplane with some electronics taped onto it a "drone" but ever since the military's UAV "drone" project, it's become a buzzword.
This was an iDrone; notice how it didn't crash.
No need to worry: Windows DRN will be out soon . . .
Isn't a drone part of a bagpipe (along with a chanter?)
why are Scotsmen flying above tropical rain forests? And why are they playing bagpipes?
And the FAA has nothing to do with bagpipe regulation, at least in the US. Perhaps in Scotland or Brazil the laws are different.
Drones are good. They allow us to kill little brown people from a distance. Bonus points if the little brown people are Muslims. I love drones.
But now drones are being used by liberal hippie enviro-commie scum! They're bad people! And only bad people do bad things! That must mean drones are bad!
Aaargh! My head hurts! I'd say "cognitive dissonance" except Rush doesn't like me using big words! What should I do? WHAT SHOULD I --

Are you an idiot or just very good at looking like one? I'm going to ignore the racist remarks because they are obviously just a troll. But, "enviro-commie scum"? Oh, and lets just throw the phrase "cognitive dissonance" in there just because it sounds cool, but from your remarks it is apparent there is no dissonance at all in your mind. I will explain your lack of dissonance, because you're slow. You say a) drones are good because they kill little brown people. Therefore it can be inferred that you think
It's nice to see this finally surpassing the NAVCOM (Propeller-based opensource drone platform for those who don't know, has had similar capabilities since 2006) in smoothness. Is it as accurate? Good to see people using stuff like this.

Involvement in Agro-tourism Activities among Fishermen Community in Two Selected Desa Wawasan Nelayan Villages in Malaysia
The agro-tourism activity in Desa Wawasan Nelayan is a new product of agro-tourism in Malaysia organized by Fisheries Development Authority of Malaysia. Local community involvement is important to the success of this agro-tourism programme. The main objective of this paper is to investigate the level of involvement of Desa Wawasan Nelayan community in agro-tourism activities. The data of this study is obtained from a survey of two Desa Wawasan Nelayan villages. A total of 220respondents were randomly selected to answer the questionnaire and the data was analyzed using the SPSS software.Based on this study, the overall mean score for level of involvement in agro-tourism activities in both states were moderate. However, both villages were found to have the highest mean score on involvement in environmental conservation activities and about their concern on the cleanliness of their village.The study recommends that more efforts should be taken by Desa Wawasan Nelayan community to be involved in agro-tourism activities that will significantly impact the local economy, social, and environment, and as a result will empower and support the cohesion of the community.

New Republican leaders at the Legislature vowed last year to rid North Carolina of its $2 billion-plus debt to the federal government for unemployment benefits and put the state system on firm financial footing.
Now legislators are aiming next month to unveil their proposal. Based on interviews, it appears business would have to keep paying more to pay down the debt, but future jobless workers could see reduced benefits.
North Carolina is among 20 states that began borrowing money at the height of Great Recession to pay for a flood of unemployment claims.
Republican Gov.-elect Pat McCrory also says the debt will be a front-burner issue when he takes office in January, the same month lawmakers begin their work in earnest.

The National Environment Agency of The Gambia, with the support of UNITAR, launched a new project to "Strengthen Capacities for Implementation of the Strategic Approach to International Chemical Management (SAICM) and support GHS capacity building" at a workshop in Banjul on 18 August 2010.
Speaking at the workshop, The Gambia's Minister of Forestry and the Environment, The Hon. Jatto Sillah, said that the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) is a new international tool that can be effectively used as a basis for developing comprehensive national chemical safety programmes.
As part of the two-year project, training will be conducted in order to define and classify hazards and communicate hazard information on labels and safety data sheets; the GHS covers all hazardous chemicals including substances, mixtures, and preparations. The target groups for the training will include agricultural workers, industrials workers, consumers, transport workers, emergency response teams and other relevant stakeholders. According to Mr. Momodou B. Sarr, the executive director of the National Environment Agency, "the GHS project has come at the right time since The Gambia is endeavoring to increase food production and comprehensively diversify the entire agricultural sector."
The project is supported by the SAICM Quick Start Programme Trust Fund, with technical support from the UNITAR/ILO GHS Capacity Building Programme. The proceedings of the workshop were widely broadcast on local TV and radio. For local coverage of the event, please visit: http://today.gm/hi/news/2617.html.

MANITOWOC, Wis., Feb. 15, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- The more companies learn about overmolding, the more they want to use this special injection-molding technology to add value to their product lines. Not only does it improve functionality and performance, it lowers total production costs—that's pretty rare these days.
So, what is overmolding?
Using a one-shot or two-shot process, a thin layer of TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is overshot onto the hard plastic substrate of the product. This exterior layer is what creates the soft-touch grip for so many products, like toothbrushes and tool handles. But it has lots of other properties that also add value to the final product—it can reduce shock and vibration, dampen sound, provide electrical insulation, boost chemical/UV resistance, be an effective barrier against oxygen and moisture, and perhaps most importantly, create a wide range of colorful, stylish exteriors that catch the consumer's eye.
More consumers are demanding this look and feel for the personal-care products, tools, electronics, sports equipment, medical devices, etc. they purchase. As a result, overmolding applications continue to expand across a wider range of products. The availability of this technology also gives product engineers more creative freedom in designing attractive and functional products that will keep them on the leading design edge of their markets.
Not every injection-molder can overmold, however; it requires specialized equipment, extensive training, and precise control of multiple variables throughout the production run—even the slightest variations can affect quality, so skilled operators are essential.
Overmolding engineers must have a deep knowledge of material chemistry and know how different types of TPE and substrates interact under varying pressure and temperature conditions. This field of knowledge is also rapidly expanding—suppliers are continuously engineering new blends with expanded characteristics such as chemical resistance, UV resistance, hardness, scratch resistance, clarity, heat resistance, and UL standards. Kaysun Corporation has a vast material science database it has accumulated from hundreds of previous projects and our engineers stay on top of the latest developments in new materials.
It can take some time getting overmolding just right, but it's worth it—this one- or two-step process delivers products of such high quality that the need for some downstream finishing operations is eliminated, which saves time and money and gets products into the marketplace faster.
Of course, this is common knowledge at Kaysun. We have perfected this process through extensive investments in technology and training; this is why top global companies like Rockwell Collins (defense and aerospace) and Smith's Medical (health care) rely on Kaysun.
Learn more about Kaysun's overmolding capabilities by downloading our white paper or contacting us. We're the perfect place to start—and finish—your injection molding project.

It wasn't intended to be a specific indication of all the DRM in the kernel, I was just showing where you would find what's compiled into your kernel (in the config file in boot) and a way of locating one particular thing that has happened to come up during the discussion. This happens to be an Ubuntu system and as you can see the offending Intel entry is compiled in, on the other hand, it's running on an AMD processor, so I don't expect it's doing anything.
Overall, I'd be inclined to load the config file into a text editor and then use Find to look for offending entries, then when you want to recompile the kernel you can just change those entries.

Coolers Guide
A Quiet Transformer
A Quiet Transformer
In today's competitive market for third-party CPU thermal solutions, versatility is worth the price. With two major CPU chipmakers, each having its own platform that's incompatible with the other, it's imperative that vendors straddle the divide with CPU coolers that support multiple sockets, slots and whatever newfangled connectors that chipmakers will come up with.
It's no surprise then that thermal company Evercool has a series of CPU coolers known as Transformer. As its name suggests, these coolers support both AMD and Intel platforms, 'transforming' to fit the socket as required. Today, we check out the cooling prowess of the Transformer 4.
Four is for Heatpipes
The Transformer 4 has a typical CPU cooler design, consisting of a heatsink and fan combination. Evercool has included two 120mm fans, leaving it up to the user whether to install one or two fans.
Four heatpipes (the reason for its name) are present on the Transformer 4. These heatpipes pass through an array of thin aluminum fins, which act as the cooler's radiator. Heat from the processor is transported to these fins where they are subsequently dissipated by the fans mounted on the heatsink. Rated at around 1000RPM each, these fans were very quiet, even when we installed both during our testing. The heatsink was moderately tall and should fit into most mid-to-large tower chassis without any issues.
The Price of Versatility
For our test, we decided to go with an Intel Core i7 system that uses the LGA1366 socket. The Transformer 4 supports all of AMD's recent sockets (754/939/940/AM2) and Intel's LGA775 and 1366. Newer Intel Lynnfield processors using LGA1156 socket however are not compatible.
The price of having socket compatibility however is that a backplate fitted at the bottom of the motherboard is practically a must. This can be troublesome for users since they must remove their motherboards during the installation or removal of the CPU cooler.
Besides this, installing the Transformer 4 was straightforward, with four thumb screws provided such that there's no need for a screwdriver. The placement of the thumb screws at the four corners also means that you can only attach the fans after securing the heatsink. Thankfully, these steps are illustrated in color in the user guide provided.
Cooling Performance
The most important test of any CPU cooler is how it helps to lower the processor's temperature. As part of our stress test, we looped our system in SPECviewperf 10, which ran with four threads to reproduce a real scenario where the processor is fully loaded. We also tried using the more intensive Prime95 to overload the processor beyond the usual applications.
With the Transformer 4, our Core i7 processor had a maximum temperature of 58 degrees Celsius in SPECviewperf 10 and 78 degrees in Prime95. This was an improvement of six degrees Celsius over the Intel reference cooler, which was recorded at 64 and 84 degrees in SPECviewperf 10 and Prime95 respectively.
Final Thoughts
Despite having two 120mm fans, the Transformer 4 only managed a slight six degrees improvement in temperatures. This was rather disappointing as we were hoping for a more dramatic showing. As it is now, we doubt that having the Transformer 4 installed would make a significant difference if overclocking is your goal.
At least, the Transformer 4 is quieter than the reference cooler, making it suitable for those looking for a quiet PC and it should perform more than adequately if you're running your processor at stock speeds. At around US$43, it's decently priced, though we'll give it a pass ourselves.

Calling Bob Bashara's murder case the most "unusual" he has presided over and ripping on Bashara's courtroom antics, a judge Friday ordered Bashara to face trial for the murder of his wife.
Judge Kenneth King of 36th District Court in Detroit said "overwhelming" evidence points to Bashara as responsible for the January 2012 strangulation death of Mount Clemens-native Jane Bashara in the garage of her Grosse Pointe Park home. He will face charges of first-degree murder, murder conspiracy and several others at his arraignment next Friday in Wayne county Circuit Court in Detroit.
"This is way too bizarre," King said. "After hearing all the evidence, we probably could have just skipped the exam and gone straight to trial. There's been overwhelming evidence to substantiate each of the charges."
King criticized Bashara for nonverbal gestures during sessions during the five-day court event, particularly while his mistress, Rachel Gillett, was on the stand, when he was "going to town" licking his lips Thursday and tapping his hand to his heart Wednesday and Thursday. He also was scene doing a finger wave at her, and the judge said Bashara appeared to be crying but that his eyes were as "dry as sandpaper."
King said Bashara, based on the evidence, failed as a husband.
"The real shame of it all is that, I would submit Mrs. Bashara probably really trusted him in giving her hand in marriage to him," he said."He's supposed to protect her. There's supposed to be trust in a relationship."
Thirty witnesses testified during the hearing, many of them about the wave of lies that Bashara told over the past few years while he was having the affair with Gillett and a newly revealed second woman, Venita Porter, as well as online flirtation with an out-of-state woman prior to the murder. Several witnesses recounted instances of Bashara inquiring about hiring a hit man.
Witnesses, including the women, testified about their and Bashara's alternative, BDSM lifestyle, and the dungeon he kept in the basement under the now-closed Hard Luck Lounge on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe.
Although Wayne County prosecutors didn't have to prove motive, they tried to show Bashara wanted out of the marriage so he could enjoy the alternative lifestyle with multiple women and would benefit financially from her death.
Bashara, 55, was charged with his wife's murder in April after Joe Gentz said last year he killed Jane under the threat and payment from Bashara. Gentz pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and is serving 17 to 28 years in prison, under the deal that he testify against Bashara.
Bashara is already serving 80 months in prison after admitting he tried to have Gentz killed while in jail for the second-degree murder charge.

DENISON, TX -- Every two minutes, a car is burglarized in Texas. Local authorities want to help make sure yours isn't one of them.
Nicole Earnhart headed out to Denison's Music on Main tonight, and says she didn't think twice about leaving her purse in her car.
"I never have thought about it. Actually, my son-in-law is a denison policeman, and I actually haven't thought about it," said Earnhart.
But Linda Warren has. She never leaves it in the car.
"Absolutely not, but no I don't leave it anywhere. But no, I wouldn't want anybody to steal it out of my car," said Warren.
Warren took her purse with her and police say she did the right thing, because summer is a prime season for car burglaries. More people are out and about, many heading to parks for a quick run or to visit the local pools. They don't want to bring their things in with them, so they leave them in the car in plain sight.
"If the opportunity is not there, then more than likely you're not going to be a victim. We can't say 100 percent that somebody won't come up and try to break in your car to see what's there, but that's not usually what happens," said Lieutenant Mike Eppler with the Denison Police Department.
Eppler says before you get out of your car, grab your purses, wallets, electronics and any other valuables. Then, lock your doors.
"Of course, locking your vehicle isn't a 100 percent guarantee that it won't be broken into. But it is a good deterrent. If you can slow somebody down for 20 to 30 seconds chances are they may go somewhere else," said Eppler.
While looking around Sherman and Denison today, we found several cars with windows cracked and different belongings inside. Car burglaries are almost always preventable, if you take the right measures to protect your things.
"If you reduce that opportunity, then you greatly increase the likelihood that you're not gonna become a victim," said Eppler.
"I think I'll take it with me or leave it at home," said Earnhart.

Towards Quality Assessment in an EFL Programme
Assessment is central in education and the teaching-learning process. This study attempts to explore the perspectives and views about quality assessment among teachers of English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and to find ways of promoting quality assessment. Quantitative methodology was used to collect data. To answer the study questions, a questionnaire was distributed to 37 EFL teachers at a public college in Oman. The findings show that the majority of teachers are not satisfied with the current assessment practices and they believe that much effort is needed to promote quality assessment. Furthermore, the vast majority of teachers assume that using alternative assessment tools such as moderation, building an item bank, having tight exam policies and procedures, providing clear exam instructions, training teachers on quality assessment, and aligning assessment with teaching would help in fostering quality assessment. Based on teachers' views and findings from the literature, the study proposes a multidimensional model for quality assessment which may help in achieving and promoting quality assessment.

With news of Neymar's arrival at Barcelona next season, it is worth asking if it is a great or a risky move for the talented young Brazilian.
Neymar, who has scored over 130 goals in just over 220 games for Santos, has been the centre point of his club since bursting onto the scene in 2009.
Last season he enjoyed his best year, scoring 43 goals in just 47 games, approaching the kind of scintillating form that both Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo have enjoyed in recent years.
So often for Santos, Neymar will drift into space to receive the ball, before dribbling through defences as his team-mates play the role of distractors with their runs, or the giver in a one-two. However the game is set up, he is given the ball to make something happen, and he so often does.
Whether Neymar will be able to exhort this kind of influence on a team of consummate winners is the intriguing question. Neymar's position at Barca is likely to begin on one of the wings, unless he takes the position of the "false forward" that Barcelona had experimented with while David Villa was injured.
Messi is the undisputed jewel in the Barca crown, and it may be a case of Neymar having to learn a disciplined role in a way he may well find challenging, while he accommodates to the role of second fiddle.
Barcelona have previously signed outrageously talented individuals who were the stars at their club: Alexis Sanchez, David Villa and Cesc Fabregas all moved to the Catalan club for big money and with big reputations.
Arguably none of them have found a part in a Barca starting eleven when Messi is playing. Each have had the occasional great game, or deputised brilliantly when Messi is moved elsewhere in the team or not playing, but they have not made a position their own in the team in the way that Andres Iniesta, Xavi, or even Pedro have done.
Many will argue that Neymar is undoubtedly a different player to anyone else Barcelona have signed, and the most exciting acquisition since they brought Ronaldinho to the club in 2003.
Like Neymar, Ronaldinho arrived with the potential to become the best player in the world, and went on to fulfill that in the blue and red of Barca.
Ronaldinho seized the role of the team's maestro, and had many successful years in Spain.
However, unlike Neymar, Ronaldinho had already spent two years in the tougher-than-Brazil-but-easier-than-Spain French league with PSG, where he acclimatised to the higher standards of European defending and football in general.
It took Ronaldinho those two years to be ready to be a great player at a great European side, and when the time came he took it with both hands, in a Barcelona team bereft of the genius he, Messi or Neymar possess.
Neymar will have it much harder; he will have to settle within his first season to avoid being labeled a disappointment, and may well have to understand that he has arguably the best footballer of all time playing in his favoured position.
In a perfect world, signing for a club like Valencia or Atletico Madrid would have been the ideal stepping stone into European football for Neymar, being a couple of levels below the spotlight afforded to Barcelona. But his star has already risen so very high, that only one of the greatest and richest clubs in the world could afford him.
Only time will tell how long it takes for him to find a role in Barca's team, as well as the effect such a move may have on the way Barcelona will play football. But despite these reservations, there is no denying that he is one of the most gifted footballers on the planet - and given this prodigious talent, maybe it wouldn't really surprise any of us if he made the transition with ease.

National Gallery sends in the clowns
Ottawa, Canada - June 23, 2004
Les clowns entrent en piste au MBAC
It's a circus at the National Gallery of Canada this week with the opening of the highly anticipated summer exhibition The Great Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown, on view from June 25 to September 19.
This spectacular exhibition of nearly 200 paintings, drawings, prints, vintage photographs, sculptures and videos takes an original look at more than 200 years of art inspired by the magic of the circus.
The Great Parade: Portrait of the Artist as Clown, organized by the National Gallery of Canada, includes masterpieces by modern artists fascinated by the Big Top, such as Picasso, Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Chagall, Calder and Arbus.
An international team of art historians led by National Gallery Director Pierre Théberge worked for four years to assemble works from prestigious institutions and private collections around the world. The other members of the curatorial committee are Jean Clair of the Musée Picasso and Didier Ottinger of the Centre Pompidou, Ann Thomas and Mayo Graham of the National Gallery of Canada, and Constance Naubert-Riser of the Université de Montréal.
"We set out to explore the circus as a locale for artists' imaginative expression, and the clown as a metaphor for the condition of the modern artist," says Théberge. "We not only succeeded in that goal, but also assembled a dynamic art exhibition that everyone will enjoy."
The Great Parade, which previewed at the Grand Palais in Paris this spring, is presented in Ottawa by the American Express Foundation.
"For more than a decade, the American Express Foundation has been a proud and committed supporter of special exhibitions and events at the National Gallery and in the Ottawa area," says Beth Horowitz, President and CEO of American Express Canada. "We are very pleased to have the opportunity to collaborate on such an innovative exhibition as The Great Parade."
In addition to recognizing the invaluable support of the American Express Foundation, the National Gallery of Canada wishes to thank media sponsors CBC TV, la Télévision de Radio-Canada, The Ottawa Citizen and Le Droit.
Besides viewing the beautiful artworks in The Great Parade, visitors to the National Gallery of Canada this summer can enjoy a wide range of activities that complement the exhibition, including film screenings, concerts, art projects, lectures, workshops and even circus performances.
Bell Audioguides for adults as well as for children, and a magnificent, full-colour
catalogue are also available.

Everything needs to happen in a provable, seemable, attainable, logical sequence… evil cannot just get vanquished by a sword that rises in the thin air. Ram needs to be born, needs to grow up, get exiled, and then reach Lanka to kill Ravana because he kidnapped his wife.
An evil like corruption too cannot simply be wished away by a few days of fasting… there has to be a complete sequence before we reach a climax where the actual beheading takes place!
Anna arrested is almost like Lanka in peril…
Pathetic to see this Spineless politicians arresting a person who is fighting for a noble cause…. Are we Indians so spineless to watch this unfolding……..Our politicians are pretty sure that we will not come to the streets to fight and hence people like PC are saying Anna " do'nt talk with 0.05% support"!!! No revolution in India will come through unless we, the voting fools, come out fight for our rights. Iam sitting in one of the venues of IAC for the fasting….. hope all of you will join this cause
Today is the darkest day in Indian Democracy.
Now it will be worst than emergency. We are prepared. Bande mataram
Sabhi party ek coin ka do hissa hain. Either head or tail. We dont have any faith on our goverment now
Now it is time to awake. Join hands . Intense anti government movement.
We will banish this government by all means
sorry sir. But we are human. Our patience have some limit
Violent revolution is coming. We will show ministers that common people are more powerful than Indian Army
Is this beginning of REVOLUTION ?
Voices of ppl lke Anna can't be muffled by detaining them… He stands today as d voice of 120 cr Indians.
What is happening is really really sad. We need a complete overhaul of our political system and our politicians. I'm sure that there are respectable politicians also but completely fail to understand how they can even tolerate the corrupt criminals who also claim to be politicians and sit beside them.
Sending Anna to jail …what rubbish… the sad part is that we will again elect these corrupt criminal idiots…and they will again form the govt.
I'm a very very proud Indian but this govt. makes me feel ashamed to have to live in this great country.
Who is this government really protecting?? PM is an honest guy….so who?
from strength to strength !!!
Indian in now god hand
Focus on the issue and not the person. It is a real threat to our democratic traditions and a progressive nation.
Corruption is not going to go away but effective legislation and implementation will be a good deterrent. and therefore any such initiative must be supported whole heartedly.
Thankfully we have woken up to it and people are determined to see concrete outcome, not another lameduck legislation.
by the way where are the young emerging leader(s). they found so much echo in the land acquisition in noida and are totally silent on another issue confronting the nation.
PM need some one who has clean throat
Mr PM please listen our voice You are the face of democracy not autocracy ..
This Gov don;t have rights to rule the country……Please get out of India…….
This PM is like a puppet and key holder is sonia gandhi.
He is a shamefull person .He looses all respect.Please vote for his resignation.
We don't want sach kind of Puppet PM.
Try to support this great great Gandhi(Anna Hazare) to the extent so that our country will be free from this burning issue 'corruption'
Vande Mataram……….Jai Hind…Anna Hazare Zindabad.
Where is the crown prince ? Measuring the size of land in Noida Extension …… little time for conscience or moral thinking I guess if you have billions to take care of stacked in safe havens. poor show by the people in-charge. get up or should I say wake up and see the issue and not who is saying what.
Keep the pressure going Mr Hazare and team. The nation admires you and your tenacity. Small men will come up with small responses to your big goal, let not those deter your ideals.
Germany rise because they sign treaty of Versailles and they have weak opposition here the condition are same they don't sign jan lokpal . I think Indian army came forward took over the control and establish democracy what we need
The leader of the country must be a strong person who can take up bold decisions without fear of being questioned.
If we are leaving any tom dick and harry to file a case and using valuable energy of the country's top leader- we are heading to weaken the leadership
INDIAN British Congress
In Parliament, I see that, still, the "Leaders" are fighting with each-other, to put down each other and argueing what others should do. They do not have real Political, moral and ethical WILL to resolve current crises.
They do this all-the-time in parliament and do not care what they should do.
All the Supporters of veteran Indian social activist Anna Hazare MUST KEEP atleast Indian national flags visible on their hands during a protest march against corruption wherever they are in INDIA.
All Indian MUST keep Indian national tri colour flag visible with their homes, offices, business premises, shops, building gates where ever its possible.
Narendra22. totelly agree with you..
There is no doubt that Anna Hazare started his movement against corruption with noble intentions. But, over the past few months, it seems like he has become egoistic. He wants a big venue to carry on his fasting, pretending as if he can't fast elsewhere. He just wants to ensure that more people get involved in this drama, but, leaving out those who have been fighting against corruption for decades, and also the ones who have their own version of the LOKPAL. He calls this-"The fight for independence". Independence from what?corruption or this UPA government.Everyone is acting as if corruption started only under the UPA, and by thwarting them, corruption will end. Well, any guesses who will rule when UPA falls?. They are equally corrupt, yes , I mean the BJP. So, before taking the streets, just use your grey matter and think on what's happening. It's no longer a fight against corruption, it's fight between BJP and UPA, where ANNA is portraying a Gandhian image and luring everyone into this drama. And if he succeeds, Democracy, the backbone of out country, will fall.
i am a supporter of Anna hazare…..and I believe that after coming this Jan Lokpal Bill there will be change in society…..Nice article….
I have found one more article over net which describe the level of corruption in india and in world
http://firstdestination.co.in/2011/08/17 /facts-about-corruption/
anna wants attention n want to be a national hero i think. al this naatak suddenly. u all r supporting n so strongly reacting why did u all not do anythng till now. just because 1 fellow made a rukus u all wana take part in it n enjoy.
Anna we are with you.
this Goverment has increased Petrol and gas price 12 times and dont think about reducing it when the price is already declining for more than one week . but increased price within one week.
More over when protest for Corruption was begin to rise they increased price in order to divert common man so we cant speak.But this really not affected a lot to Anna Movement.
Goverment have a single explanation IT WILL HAMPER OUR ECONOMY GROWTH.In my view i believe they just want to loot common man's money just to divert as much they can in their times.
Of course New programs are created for People but after Politicians taking their share.And the person who won the contract or have the responsibility to perform the task try to recover why not.
all these kickbacks can be found or realised by common people.But who cares.Politicans always enjoy previlages
they dont have to buy anything like house ,vegetables,petrol,telephone,etc which comes as a gift from people since they represent us.So these people will never understand our need as they belongs to other class.
Our Parliament dont even have a qualification to become a NETA.Just one precious eligibilty required either u r wealthy,or belongs to political class or associated with them or else become a Chamca.
for this reson corruption is not going to evaporate.But Those people who say we encourage corruption by bribing a traffic police,police,and justice official, i just want to say that We dont have time to waste for such a dirty mesh.Because i cant spend running a month for chhalan issued by a trffic police man . so why not pay him Rs 50 instead of paying 100 to the court.
My point here is every knows about corruption .But we are helpless. so Anybody cant blame Common man.We just want to survive.
So our System should be changed or modified like their should be provision for paying fine digitally or cash at the point of dispute.
For Public offices , the salary of goverment lower level servants should be increaed.So they willnot take bribe due to MAJBURI.
So corruption is very dagerous.For a common man we cant survive without bribe.
So i whole heartedly support ANNA .I really dissapointed about the way the POLITICIANS like LALU advising us about corruption .
The main feature of this August revolution is that the Youth Generation of India are slave to the Old ,Paranoid,Slave and Chamcha Creating System.
Since we have GANDHI LIKE person who is willing to lead from front against these dictector politicians and chamchas we should support it.
Once i believe that If an educated person become a prime minister it will be freeom but looking at Dr Manmohon Singh i now believe a PM can be a puppet of an Illitrate goverment
Anna we are with you, every indian which ever state he or she belongs is with you. We have to remove corruption from this country.These dirty politicians are fooling the people, which ever party they belong are all corrupted. Politicians play drama in front of people by throwing stones at each other, but behind the scene they help each other in doing corrupt activities. There is nexus between corporates and every political party in india. Politicians take bribes from corporates and turn help them in getting benefits.
Crores of rupees is being spend for the upliftment of rural and deprived population of this country but only a meagre amount reaches them. The beaurocrats(not all) are also behind corruption in this country. They give advice to politicians on how to do corruption and what all loop holes are there in the law. Even judiciary is not out of reach of corruption as we can see from the recent incidents.
We the people of India should be united and fight this evil of corruption. Let's join the second FREEDOM STRUGGLE.
There is a Constitution and it is the mandate…it is not Anna Hazare or any non-elected person like him, it must be the duty of the constitutional institutions to frame laws and implement them in India. I am against this Anna Hazare. Why not try a constitutional way? I do like to frame a private bill like that framed by Anna team, which aim to punish Anna team and like people with Death penalty, what would be the future of India? Will this be permitted in India? Will it be Constitutional? Or what would be the state of our parliament iff every group want it like Anna? Do not remember that India something called religious institutions which also can conduct such strikes against a government?
How many people have stayed away or unsubscribed from services provided by companies named in 2G Scam? Neither is Anna's camp discouraging people from using services from those companies, all they want is support for getting power
More important for our country to control population
Job security in private sector
Jai hind
Congradulations to the civil society of India for taking up this issue. Please do not let the parties in the opposition to hijack this for their political advantage like what happened in Tamil Nadu. If the government do not concede the best option is to field a 'Hazare movement' candidate to each electorate in the next election. Politicians will cry fowl by stating that the contestants do not have political experience. This wont matter as the country is run by the beuracracy and what is needed is facilitation form the top with strong anti-corruption and fair play legislation. Push for anti-discriminatory law too and India will leap frog in soft developement by 30-40 years. Good luck . Damien. Sri Lanka
selfish poeple are trying to potray that this protest is an arrogant display, blackmailing and what not of the great Indian Parliament. wghere was all this greatness when millions were being looted. Do not believe these masked super smart clever people. keep supporting this fight against corruption till it reaches its logical end.
many elected representatives, across party lines, are trying to cook up baseless charges against the protestors. how very small and cheap of these people.
once a effective lokpal authority comes up they will start licking there also.
they are mostly opportunistic and have low level of self esteem or regard for the nation.
many systems like traffic challan are designed such that you have no choice but to pay a bribe and get on with surviving and trying to earn your daily bread.
no one likes paying unnecessarily. it is this very ruling party that has institutionalised corruption and made in a national industry. almost all politicians, bureaucrats, judges have their children either overseas or employed at high levels in corporates in India, irrespective of their ability. able father/ mother and much more abled children.
I would like to raise an important issue which is not only relevant but also will also help us to develop our view on corruption. I believe , a country can not progress without controlled corruption.. One instance is that economy can not grow that if there is no corruption. I request all of the viewers to share their thought on this, because I see corruption has many faces. Anna's call to fight against corruption is a genuine call but I want all of us to have a realistic view on it. Let's decide what kind of misappropiation we would call it a corruption.
If the Lokpal Bill is passed, there is a high probability of constitutional crisis happen any day. We send politicians to parliament and assembly. So before we send them, we should make very informed decision on them. So rather than throwing stones on them later, we, the people of biggest democracy, should think and be very sure that we are sending eligible candidates only. Every one will agree that we take election very casually and it seems we lack adequate knowledge.It is very srprising that 90% of Anna team even what is written in draft.
We are heading towards a constitutional crisis. I would like to ask Mr. Anna Hazare whether he is ready to give us coruuption free government.
The call of India…
Hi all.
I am not in any political party nor supporter of any political party. I am telling what I am feeling.
Congress as soon as they into power started increasing the commodity price in order to satisfy the sponsors of their candidates in the elections. The poor Indian stated to tighten their stomach without uttering a word thinking that the result of the economic crunch.
The congress got a very hint and started increasing the prices from commodities, steel and all the areas including the petroleum so as to fill their voter bank from trading sector.
By doing so, government also started getting increased %ge of tax revenue and left medium to poor class of people ignored.
So all the beurocrates (main beneficiaries where congress and supporting traders) and the government is happy of increased revenue left behind RBI, middle class and lower middle class to poor left behind, which resulted the increase of crime rate, corruption and so on.
Now RBI took a firm stand. But what is and who is for the common INDIAN?
Now keeping the ANNA HASARE show to continue for a period of time, gets enough time for the oversees accounts to be managed to a safe position.
So ANNA HASARE, we and all the common INDIAN wants to end the show by getting all the desired results we want.
I went to the Ramlila ground yesterday. It was a humbling experience. There was so much energy and fervour. People identify with this cause and the number of tricolours being waved was a reminder of the love people have for the country.
No one should underestimate its strength. The crowds were well behaved and the volunteers working round the clock to direct the crowd, ensure traffic moves (I do not remember any political or religious rally or gathering in Delhi being civilised)with alomost no support from the administration (which is very typical of Indian administration).
The protestors are not at all arrogant. They are people who have worked hard through their lives and paid taxes.
The people in power are clearly failing to recognise that the demand is fairly well thought, their version of the Jan Lokpal bill well drafted with checks and balances.
The authorities are biding time and hoping this will fritter away (and media seems to have joined hands to spread this cheap rumour) while people are losing patience.
At the venue I saw people from all walks of life and religions, not just middle class contrary to Govt propaganda.
If a small snake enter our house, even if it is not poisonous we beat it to death to
protect ourselves and our family.
The poisonous snake 'CORRUPTION' is roaming happily in out BHARATH. We have
fed it a lot. It has become huge enough to swallow a blue whale. Even if we are conscious we are sleeping. Now the BRAVE HERO ANNA HAZARE has given us a good burn on our back and made us awake. Let
us be with the HERO to Kill it save our GREAT BHARATH.
When ever ADHARMA increases and DHARMA decreases, GOD appears. Now the GOD has appeared in the form of ANNA HAZARE. Let us be a part of his team by our possible ways to slay the EVIL DEMON 'CORRUPTION'.
To all those who wish to support team Anna in their fight against corruption but are unable to do so due to geographical or other limitations:
where is the corporate world, bollywood, and sportsmen? are they all supporting the government. are they good only for the ads they act in, or good for making movies on corruption? can't they come out and support the cause. because more than anyone the goby will relent to the corporate world, the bollywood and last but not the least the sportsmen.
Those activists who have been left out are trying feverishly to get recognition. Even Jesus and Gandhi were doubted till the very end, they continued nonetheless.
The cause is more important than the person. Listen, read and if possible see for yourself (by witnessing the rally's and the people) before passing remarks.
One prays sense will prevail and we will see the dawn of a new era. Atleast a beginning would have been made.
Read the Govt is still thinking and calling one meeting after another including an all party meet tomorrow. One senses buying time, an old tactic and ambivalence, a key attribute of clever people. May God bless them.
First of all it should be clarified whether it is mandatory that this bill should be referred to a standing committee? What if the committee delays ?
Should the committee itself be reconstituted ? Presently it includes some members who will be hell bend to stall the proceedings and play every dirty trick to for that purpose.
I think the Lokpal should have three distinct functions .
1. EXECUTIVE OR INVESTIGATIVE. There should be sole head under whom there can be two or three deputies. They should have experience in this line.
2. JUDICIAL OR TRIAl: The Lokpal cases should be tried under different set of rules and procedures. The concepts of all the burden of proof is on prosecution etc should be done away with.there should be effective rules radically different and not influenced or imitate The Civil procedure Code or The criminal procedure code . For eg it should not be stipulated that prosecution should reveal all its evidence first.
3. ADVISORY OR PREVENTIVE. It should be free to advise the speaker . or any court or any autonomous body inviting attention to corruption related evils.
Lokpal should not claim such privileges as contempt of court, baring a public debate as subjudice or would influence the proceedings.
What a SHAME….a Gandhian is tortured by a gandhi based political party…plz our PM u were always called a puppet,atleast stop showing the full show….when can we call you the Superb Sikh in the race we Indians are so proud of….
I Support- Anna Azare
Hats off to you Anna and team, you have woken a sleeping and tormented nation. Everybody has flaws and so would you but your fight and path is correct. May God bless you and make our Govt and opposition get well soon.
In 1982, in Singapore, LOKPAL type BILL was implemented and 142 Corrupt Ministers & Officers were arrested in one single day.. Today Singapore has only 1% poor people & no taxes are paid by the people to the government, 92% Literacy Rate, Better Medical Facilities, Cheaper Prices, 90% Money is white & Only 1% Unemployment exists.. Re Post this if you want to live in a corruption free country..
Anna announce his movement against anticurroption well before 16th August, 2011 and Government was in a position to discuss the issue to avoid todays situation. It is suggested not to believe this Government who's mejority of the MP's are curropted.
What Do you think Guys Does this movement of Anna Hazare will effect to our Indian Government and the they bill passed the bill that will really help India and the people.
There is Anna's Lokpal
There is Rahul game changing plan
There is Sheshan's draft
The govt draft all agree should be thrown outof the window
The objectives
1. Anna to end fast.
2. Government should show commitment towards strong lok pal.
3. Democratic Institutions should not be endangered.
Simple solution.
Pass a Resolution with a specific timeline (not more than 1-2 months) that the Government will come up with strong Lok Pal Bill that will use the best of
A. Anna's Draft.
B. Seshan's Draft.
and immediately call for a special session to debate and vote on each point on both drafts and the outcome to be placed with standing comittee
Please see my blog, http://leftbrainwave.blogspot.com/ for several articles on the Anna Hazare anti-corruption agitation. There are many misconceptions that people are under, such as: this is an undemocratic, unconstitutional agitation that seeks to subvert parliament, etc. See the issues discussed clearly, and please do leave your comments on the site! Thanks. Also, I have just added an appeal to the govt. to save Anna's life – please use the draft letter there and email your MPs ASAP!!! Thanks!
Congratulations dear fellow citizens. We have begun again on another journey. Let us hold our hopes stronng and determination and keep marching. We can (if we try and keep trying) build a stronger nation and polity which works for the people.
Annaji why we are diverting from corruption to politics .Do we will get tough lokpal bill by bycotting congress.What gurantee is there that other political parties will give us tough lokpal and laws.Will they punish defaulters without desparity .Do you think that all other parties have less ommission sins.Is there gurantee that we will be secular by other parties.Why we cannot have our own civil candidates.Will we not face semi dectatorship if other Indian major political party comes to power.I appeal to Anna's team to see if defalts by congress minus defaults of other parties equal to bycot congress
It is shame that instead of encouraging the cause for the betterment of our society at large, our leaders want to divert, humiliate and try all means, whether right or wrong, to ensure that Anna & his team are crushed. Mr. Digvijay Singh, you will be considered in great esteems if you will fight for right cause. Alas, your comments only and only show your and your colleagues' meanness. There are 2 ways to come to limelight and be remembered – 1) The Gandhian and 2) The Godse. It is for you to decide.
Vande Mataram Hi, this is rakesh ambekar form IAC thane. this is a request to annaji that they he should propogate about IAC NAGRIK SAMITI in every ward of states through various forms of media so that it will be easy for every IAC volunteers to handle the task of forming IAC NAGRIK SAMITI. Jai Hind.
My dear Anna
aapko lokpal bill ke siwa kuch aur nahi dikhai deta… aap un sabhi points par koi kadam kyo nahi uthate hai kya aapkeliye lokpal hi sabkuch hai.Mahingai jisse pura desh paresan hai jisaka aam aadmi se sidha relition hai uske bare mai kyo maon baithe hai.
(agar aapka en chjo par koi intrest nahi lete to pls aap bhi dusre netao ki tarah shanti se gar jakar soiye. dikhawa karne ki koi jarurat nahi hai.)
WE iNDIANS ONLY WANT THOSE POLITICIANS WHO ARE TO SERVE US AS SOLDIERS SERVE AND GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR MOTHERLAND.No political party is worth of this salt ,hence Annaji should bycott all these parties and create army of good politicians like Subash Chandra Bose.
Let us see todays India in eyes of news paper
1] State pulls up builder for another SRA scam in Mumbai.When these people will be punished?Hence we want good politicians.
2]on day 33 midday meter down fails to tame errant auto rickshaw. We want Govt ruled by good independent civil candidates.
3]HC bans portable USG machines.Has govt punished anyone responsible for killing girlchild due to misuse?
4]-fold rise in fines for traffic violations .Has Govt punished those who do not give reciepts for offence?
5]Govt plans sale of 2.5 acre jj land to fund makeover .Their are cores of rupees seized by govt .where this money and tax goes?
Everywhere discriminations at all levels are rampant.We need Anti Discrimination Law with civil consequences with compensation at the cost of the discriminators. I have drafted a comprehensive bill .To study the bill u may call me on 9450490555,,9415082534,,or mail firstname.lastname@example.com
The writing is all very clear on the wall – Congress or for that matter any Party would never bring or subsequently enforce Anna's Lokpal. They would rather sacrifice their Government, in turns, if need be rather then digging a grave or creating a permanent threat to all their lucrative ways. No party is different in this regards – had any one of these been serious then scenario in parliament, when Anna was fasting, would have been the same as we see today on FDI. Shouldn't Anna or the Society at large now seriously contemplate creation of a third front being supported or lead by someone of the caliber of Sh Kejriwal ?
sir my salary approx 40000 is pending from last 9 month but they are not giving me money they always say me that wait for some time please suggest u all…….
The self defined and proclaimed "TEAM ANNA" (excluding Anna jee himself), are nothing but a TEAM of loosers and non achievers assembled together to attain their individual self goals of achieving quick success in life and to be heard and seen by us common citizens. yeah….it is… can't you all see…! well, Mr Kejriwal, a man who left his job halfway, betrayed his very job. His obsession for being in public life is very much obvious. He wants to fight a battle by imposing his own preferred (favourably bent ) rules in the battle field just like a kid in the house who wants that everyone in his house must play the game by his laid down rules or should be thrown out of the house. He seems to be afraid to play the game by the rules that have been laid down and acknowledged worldwide. Mr Shisodiya and Ms Shazia, betraying their job (of a Journlaist) by trying to gain extra milage by taking undue advantage of the previlage their job gave them. Mr. Kumar Vishawas, a poet by profession as he claims, (god knows what worth he as written so far) trying his best to gain publicity (may be to market his name/articles/books in future). Mr. Prashant Bhushan, a not so successful lawyer – politico (as his father) , portraits a picture of a depressed man picking up random agendas (thanks to the PIL culture) with a single point objective to be in the news and Ms Kiran Bedi, let down by the system (she was unable to become the Delhi police chief despite her clean image and hard work).
My humble advise to Anna jee is that lead the way for us (not for TEAM ANNA) with full command and authority. You have a cause, and you have the experience to take it to conclusion. Remember, when you sat on fast for the first time, all followed you. We did not come there for all the above individuals. So why you need to consult these individuals now, why you have to take their advise and follow their plans and strategy? The fight is simple…yes I mean it…it is very simple. Call upon the masses, plan and discuss with the masses in open, include the people and your cause will see the light of the day one day and if these individuals want to follow you , they are most welcome. However, if they intend to become your guardians, then it is a concern to be worried about for all the citizens who have great faith in you.
(someone pls translate this to Marathi please for Anna to read)
It is very much necessary to open a new front in
political battle.A humble suggestion is being sent for your democratic discussion
1. Name of the party-ACPI[ANTI CORRUPTION PARTY OF INDIA]. i.e . straight fire 2 the point of struggle.
For the first time I am just dying to cast my vote in election. Hail Anna… I am voting. Tamal
Political party will now thinking that congress vote will get share and chances of the willing as majority party for congress is not easy job. ya Anna team can set Mostly his candidate where the most corrupt political leader are present. and target them to loose the election.. But who will controlled the elected leader that he will not leave anna after get elected.. every leader should beahve as per party hi commonad from heart .. then and then only it is possible.
If we don't jump in2 mud & clean it , we can't get fresh water. So we nid 2 b muddy at 1st then we will b able 2 get a corruption free India. our intention must be kept high. Otherwise no indivisual or isolated struggle can do any help 2 the soceity.
There are lot of confussions about Anna Hazere's
movement now. Let a party (ACPI as I proposed earlier) be formed.Select only 50 persons who are hundred percent honest and focus them for M.P.s in the forthcoming election in 2014. As we know no single party would get majority, support from outside is required whosoever would like to rule. ACPI can support them in their own terms. If ACPI FAILS TO ELECT SUFFICIENT NUMBERS OF M.P.s or after eledtion afew members change their colours for vested interest, we can conclude thus "many a miles still we need to go, slogans only hold no root to earth."
Anna is for the third alternative which is the common VOTER himself. It is easy to choose between right and wrong, but one must become the change he/she wishes to see in this world, as Gandhi Ji said !
The common man is the real master in any democratic system, but unfortunately has become the servant or again subservient of his own servants. It is all about re-defining this dynamic but vital relationship in our democratic system, which is of paramount importance in India. Poverty does not automatically mean that our public is dumb or deaf or criminal in its intent and its actions. The real challenge is to bring in INTEGRITY in to our ACTIONS at every level in the governance of the country, in its business practices, and in the over all management of the country's wealth and its national interests !

China makes new archaeological find
by UPI
BEIJING - China Wednesday announced the discovery of 13th century pottery and porcelain pieces, offering evidence of its global trade dating back eight centuries.
Chinese archaeologists recovered about 10,000 pieces of pottery and porcelain in an underwater excavation of a shipwreck believed to date back to the Southern Song Dynasty (1127-1279) in the Xisha Islands in the South China Sea, the state-run Xinhua news agency reported Wednesday.
"What we found from the shipwreck on Huaguang Reef No. 1 are pearls of the ancient Silk Road on the sea, and it is the first time we have found such precious antiques in the high seas," Zhang Wei, who led the 55-day excavation in the islands, was quoted as saying. "The fragments serve as a testimony that Chinese people lived and traded around the Xisha Islands during the Tang (618-907) and Song (960-1279) Dynasties."
Zhang said the find also shows that foreign trade in those years was prosperous "and that China was one of the earliest nations to discover other parts of the world."
The shipwreck was discovered accidentally by Chinese fishermen in 1996, the report said.
"I guess the ship might have sunk on its way from China to Southeast Asia," said Zhang.

Game Preview | Team Arrives in Toledo
Another year, another NCAA Tournament trip for the Commodores. In the current 15-year NCAA streak, Vanderbilt's women's basketball team has jetted to all parts of the country. On Thursday, the team embarked on another postseason journey to Toledo, Ohio.
The day began before sunrise with the bus departing Memorial Gymnasium at 6:30 a.m. for an 8 a.m. charter flight at Nashville International.
On the first day of spring, it did not feel anything like spring as the Commodores deplaned in Toledo, where remnants of snowfall is still very present around this northwest Ohio city of approximately a quarter million residents.
Upon arriving at the hotel, the team ate lunch and watched film before departing for practice at Toledo Christian School, an alternate practice site 15 minutes from the hotel. With school still in session, the Commodores practiced as some members of the student body watched on.
Vanderbilt will not play until 10 a.m. Saturday, when the eighth-seeded Commodores face ninth-seeded Arizona State. The winner of the game will likely face top-seeded Notre Dame, who must first defeat 16th-seeded Robert Morris.
Friday will be filled with administrative meetings and media day at Savage Arena for all four teams. Additionally, the schools will get to practice at the arena for the first time on Friday.
VUCommodores.com has been and will be with the team every step of the way throughout the NCAA Tournament, capturing photos and videos and writing stories. View the video and photos to see more about the team's first day in Toledo.

One of Judge Walker's strongest points was that traditional notions of marriage can no longer be used to justify discrimination, just as gender roles in opposite-sex marriage have changed dramatically over the decades. All marriages are now unions of equals, he wrote, and there is no reason to restrict that equality to straight couples. The exclusion of same-sex couples from marriage "exists as an artifact of a time when the genders were seen as having distinct roles in society and in marriage," he wrote. "That time has passed."That is, the conventional idea that marriage is between a man and a woman rests on gender stereotypes about what men and women are like. Since the sex discrimination cases already reject laws based on gender stereotypes, that conventional idea can't be the basis for rejecting same-sex marriage.
To justify the proposition's inherent discrimination on the basis of sex and sexual orientation, he wrote, there would have to be a compelling state interest in banning same-sex marriage. But no rational basis for discrimination was presented at the two-and-a-half-week trial in January, he said. The real reason for Proposition 8, he wrote, is a moral view "that there is something wrong with same-sex couples," and that is not a permissible reason for legislation.That is the Supreme Court case law. As Justice Scalia complained in his Lawrence dissent:
"Moral disapproval alone," he wrote, in words that could someday help change history, "is an improper basis on which to deny rights to gay men and women."
The Court embraces ... Justice Stevens' declaration in his Bowers dissent, that "the fact that the governing majority in a State has traditionally viewed a particular practice as immoral is not a sufficient reason for upholding a law prohibiting the practice".... This effectively decrees the end of all morals legislation. If, as the Court asserts, the promotion of majoritarian sexual morality is not even a legitimate state interest, none of the above-mentioned laws can survive rational-basis review....It was no stretch to end up where Judge Walker did. Now, the 9th Circuit Court and the U.S. Supreme Court may struggle to find their way back from the routine legal reasoning that took Judge Walker where many people are unhappy he went. But to do that will require stretching for a preferred result, given the precedent.
Why not cheer yourself up by thinking about the boost this will give to conservatives in the upcoming election? And leave gay people alone.
IN THE COMMENTS: garage mahal starts us off with a comment, that based on previous gay marriage threads, predicts where this thread is destined to go:
Great. Now now I can marry a desk. Or a freezer. Oh wait...

Associated Press
BOLTON LANDING, N.Y. (AP) — Boaters heading to the crystal-clear waters of New York's Lake George this summer must make one last stop before launching — at inspection stations where vessels are checked for invasive species and decontaminated if any hitchhikers are found.
The popular Adirondack tourist destination is the first lake in the East to require inspections of every boat and trailer, following a similar program that began five years ago at Lake Tahoe in Nevada and California.
Boats are the most common carriers of aquatic invasive species such as Eurasian watermilfoil and zebra mussels. State and local governments around Lake George have spent more than $1.5 million the past two years to eradicate such species.
Mandatory boat inspections have become widespread in Western states, but most inspection programs in the East are voluntary.

Kristin Chenoweth: The Dames of Broadway - Preview
In this concert created specially for Lincoln Center and the PBS audience, Tony- and Emmy-Award winner Kristin Chenoweth pays homage to the show-stopping leading ladies - and scene-stealing sidekicks - of the Broadway musical. Chenoweth humorously interweaves stories of her own show-biz trials and tribulations in a performance that proves both intimate and filled with her trademark razzle-dazzle.
