Former billiards champion, Michael Ferreira, has been granted temporary relief. Arrested in a Rs. 400-crore scam involving marketing company QNet in Mumbai on September 30, he was given a break today by a Hyderabad court from the relentless interrogations and investigations against him.
Padma Bhushan Ferreira, 78, but fit as a fiddle, created history in 1978 by becoming the first amateur to make a 1000-point break in billiards. He was world champion four times.
Investigations are ongoing, and despite the fact that there is prima facie evidence against Mr Ferreira and QNet, it would be a travesty of justice if we passed premature judgment on the man or the company, already bruised and battered by infamy. In a scenario where they are exonerated of most of what has been alleged, it would take a long time to recoup from a long-drawn nasty affair. If found guilty, well, they will be punished.
Marketing companies have always been on the wrong side of a popular belief, which has branded them notorious in nature. Is the business flawed, designed to cater to the need of only those sitting on top of the chain? Maybe not.
There is a seemingly endless debate over whether these companies and programs are legitimate business opportunities or not. While there are cases of financial fraudulence in the industry, there are parallel benefits, too.
People who are disillusioned with their present occupation, exhausted from years of the corporate toil and don't feel the bond between their job and the people it impacts outside their office walls, consider it to be quite a lucrative prospect. Working in retirement is one of its better attractions. There are many areas of life for many people that can be fulfilled with specific types of products and service available through some MLM or Direct selling opportunities.
Despite certain loopholes that are known to exist, like in every other sector, the Marketing sector is well poised for growth and if regulated professionally with checks and balances, it can be one of the most significant solutions to our savings crisis.
Multi-level marketing is complicated and carries its own perils, but if tighter management policies are laid out on the location and headquarters of these firms, and licensing is more scrutinizing, more good than evil will come out.

Watershed nitrogen input and riverine export on the west coast of the US

This study evaluated the sources, sinks, and factors controlling net export of nitrogen (N) from watersheds on the west coast of the US. We calculated input of new N to 22 watersheds for 1992 and 2002. 1992 inputs ranged from 541 to 11,644 kg N km−2 year−1, with an overall area-weighted average of 1,870 kg N km−2 year−1. In 2002, the range of inputs was 490–10,875 kg N km−2 year−1, averaging 2,158 kg N km−2 year−1. Fertilizer was the most important source of new N, averaging 956 (1992) and 1,073 kg N km−2 year−1 (2002). Atmospheric deposition was the next most important input, averaging 833 (1992) and 717 kg N km−2 year−1 (2002), followed by biological N fixation in agricultural lands. Riverine N export, calculated based on measurements taken at the furthest downstream USGS water quality monitoring station, averaged 165 (1992) and 196 kg N km−2 year−1 (2002), although data were available for only 7 watersheds at the latter time point. Downstream riverine N export was correlated with variations in streamflow (export = 0.94 × streamflow − 5.65, R2 = 0.66), with N inputs explaining an additional 16% of the variance (export = 1.06 × streamflow + 0.06 × input − 227.78, R2 = 0.82). The percentage of N input that is exported averaged 12%. Percent export was also related to streamflow (%export = 0.05 × streamflow − 2.61, R2 = 0.60). The correlations with streamflow are likely a result of its large dynamic range in these systems. However, the processes that control watershed N export are not yet completely understood.

Stuart Wallis, chief executive, said the results from the division "clearly give the lie to the assertion by RPR that our pharmaceutical franchise has stalled." His call to shareholders to continue to reject the bid, worth 240p a share, found an echo amongst shareholders as RPR announced that acceptances at the first closing date covered a mere 0.24 per cent of the shares. But RPR dismissed the figures, highlighting the boost given by a particularly strong hay fever season in Japan, which Fisons admitted had added around pounds 13m to sales and pounds 10m to profits, and the impetus provided by the bid.
Sales of Intal, Fisons' core but ageing anti-asthma drug, fell 9 per cent to pounds 92m, hit by the move off-patent of the nebulised form of the drug in the US last year. Growth of 21 per cent to pounds 25m in its replacement, Tilade, was insufficient to offset the decline.
The failed merger with Medeva cost pounds 3m in fees and other costs, Fisons revealed. It announced an 18 per cent increase in the interim dividend to 2p.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?
Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
The bloggers don't seem to pay - why should I?
The safest answer is that if you pay the copyright holder, you will have a license and will not be subject to being sued by the copyright owner. The bloggers could be at risk of being sued. However, there is a a great deal of public domain material on the internet that you can use free of charge. You can also buy CDs of artwork that includes a license to use the pictures on websites.
Paul Overhauser
317- 891-1500
Be careful doing this. Indeed, there are many many public domain images that you could use on your site. Just find some of those, but make absolutely certain they are public domain images.
But please don't rely on the notion that you can get away with it because some bloggers do. Take a look at these articles before you fall into that trap:Ask a similar question
A client of mine was recently dinged by Getty Images for $600 for an image that his web designer casually used as a test piece and never released to the public. The client never knew about it; the web designer didn't think it mattered if it was not posted on the public web. The image came from a source that had snipped the 'Getty Images' proprietary watermark off the photo. None of that made any difference. Getty is not the only vigilant monitor out there (and they use wicked hi-tech image search software to catch hapless users and make them pay) and the law is very strict. I told my client the $600 was a cheap lesson in image usage on the web (a law suit could have cost him thousands).
The problem for honest users like you is that the law applies (with some teeth blunted perhaps) even if the image you select has no copyright notice on it at all. You cannot safely surf the net and find something you like and paste it onto your site. As my client has learned. The other advice to seek a license (often very reasonable in advance) for a particular image you like, or to buy a licensed diskette or download, is almost certainly the way to go.Ask a similar question
License the photos. There are a number of licensing web sites for stock photos or specific images (istockphoto.com, getty images). Or take your own. What you are contemplating is willful copyright infringement. You may never get caught, but if you do it will be expensive.Ask a similar question
In addition to being a lawyer, I am also a filmmaker and photographer. Check out stock footage sites like www.revostock.com or Getty Images. Both of these companies, and those like them, sell VERY high quality royalty free flat-fee photos that you can buy for $5, $10, or $20 bucks usually, and you then have the right to use them however you wish.
Can you use photos that you don't pay for on your site? Sure. But you are taking a risk if the copyright holder finds out---and then you are liable to pay damages. Don't take the chance--get the rights to post the photos.
Also: just ask! People are more generous with their intellectual property than you might first imagine. If you give them credit as the photographer (if they took the photo), then it's a win-win---you get to use the photo, and they get publicity for their work.
Hope this helps,

New Genetic Therapy Provides Breakthrough for Down Syndrome
Every year, 6,000 American babies are born with an extra copy of chromosome 21, the genetic cause of Down Syndrome.
Researchers have puzzled over that extra chromosome since Dr. Jerome Lejeune discovered it in 1959. But this week, doctors at the University of Massachusetts Medical School announced a breakthrough that could have significant implications for how we treat the disease.
According to Dr. Brian Skotko, co-director of the Down Syndrome Program at Massachusetts General Hospital and professor at Harvard Medical School, this landmark study demonstrates that "it is possible, at least in a Petri dish, to be able to turn off that extra chromosome."
"I have to say," Dr. Skotko continues, "over the past decade, we never thought this would be possible. But Dr. Lawrence and her team have shown that, perhaps in the future, it is possible."
Dr. Skotko describes the implications for patients living with Down Syndrome, and the potential ethical issues that could arise from this new genetic therapy.

San Francisco, Jun 24: US President Barack Obama's popularity has soared in India following his participation in the Republic Day celebrations this year, latest Pew Research said today.
"About three-in-four Indians (74 per cent) now express confidence in Obama, compared with 48 per cent a year ago," Pew Research said releasing the result of its latest survey on America's popularity ratings in major countries across the globe.
"Overall, ratings for the US remain mostly positive, with a global median of 69 per cent expressing a favorable opinion of the country," it said.
Obama also remains popular in most countries, and his ratings have improved over the last year in 14 nations.
"The biggest gains are found in India, which the president visited in January," Pew said.
By far, the sharpest decline in Obama's image occurred in Israel. Following a year marked by tensions between Obama and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over negotiations with Iran, confidence in Obama slipped from 71 per cent in Israel to 49 per cent.
Eight-in-ten Israelis disapprove of how Obama is dealing with Irans nuclear program, the survey said. Positive views of the US have declined slightly in China, however, dropping from 50 per cent to 44 per cent.
"Pakistan is the one Asian nation surveyed where a majority gives the US a negative rating, although favorable views have become somewhat more common over the last year (22 per cent today, 14 per cent in 2014)," Pew said.
Americas image, pew said, is mostly positive among the Asian nations polled. Particularly large majorities see the US favorably in the Philippines (92 per cent), South Korea (84 per cent) and Vietnam (77 per cent).
"And following a year in which President Obama visited India, and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi came to the US, Americas image in that country has improved significantly, jumping from 55 per cent favorable to 70 per cent today," it said.

Petition Tag - property
31. Improve Park Safety in Willow Hill Community
The lack of lighting in certain areas needs to be addressed not only for residents' safety but also for personal property.
32. Allow the property at the southern end of Center Street, to be converted into a "Dog Park"
Only until just recently, the property has been excavated and refilled with raw material which was dredged from one of the lagoons in Beach Haven West.
This property would be ideal for a "Dog Park"! Please consider this petition and the reasons surrounding it. Our communities safety is at risk!
33. PBCA Voting Member Petition to add Agenda Items
The petition is necessitated by the lack of acceptance by the President, of several items requested to be added by The Secretary and Board Member of the PBCA.
34. Exemption for Sunrise Propane explosion victims
Due to extensive damage caused by the explosion, not all residents have returned home as they have to rebuild.
Residents who have elected to tear down more than 50% of their existing walls, have learned that their house rebuilding is being treated as "new construction".
This Bylaw is according to Municipal Code, Chapter 851, Water Supply and Chapter 681, Sewer Service. Residents will have to pay the City of Toronto approx $11,000 for upgrades on city property, which does not include the additional expense required to upgrade the pipes on their own property.
Glenn De Baeremaeker, Chair of Public Works & Infrastructure, denied all requests for the issue to be added as an agenda item. He stated in a letter, "I fully understand and sympathize with the situation your constituent is faced with as he rebuilds his home following last summer's Sunrise Propane blast, there does not appear to be sufficient merit to warrant a request of City Council to exempt this property from the relevant provisions of the Municipal Code"
Several written requests have been submitted to the Mayor's office for assistance. Karen Duffy responsed from the Office of the Mayor, stating that "The Mayor's Office is satisfied that the city is responding to your request. The decision rests with the Public Works and Infrastructure Committee. There will be no meeting scheduled."
A final attempt was made to add the issue to the agenda on the day of the meeting, June 3rd, and Glenn De Baremeaker made a ruling that the request would not be put to a vote and would not be heard by the committee.
Karen Duffy stated the Mayor was powerless to help, and once again said no meeting would be scheduled.
35. Condemn House located at Hollar's Extension in West Providence Township
This house was in a fire many years ago. No one has lived in it since that time. The owners purchased a mobile home and placed it on the property next to this burned out house. The house has been deteriorating since it burned. It now has broken windows, a front porch that is ready to cave in, and a roof that is rotting away.
This house is not only a nuisance, it is a hazard. Roofing is ready to fall off which could hurt an individual or damage others' property. The broken windows could entice individuals to try to enter the house and they could be injured. This house also attracts rodents and stray animals that can cause problems to other individuals living in the neighborhood.
This house hurts property values in the neighborhood. Many in the neighborhood have done improvements to their homes, only to learn that the property value has to be decreased because of this house. The tax value, however, remains the same on these properties. This devaluation is not fair to the rest of the individuals that live in this neighborhood.
36. Stop forward motion on transfer station
The economic feasibility of this HSS site is not fully researched as the BOCC does not know where the trash will be hauled. Depending on this answer, other sites (specifically Kremmling landfill and Fraser Road and Bridge shop could be more feasible).
There are no regulations in place to insure the community's safety. There are no regulations in place should any regulations be violated with the potential for hazardous health and environmental impacts.
We have been unfairly isolated from the planning process with the above departments. The people of this county should have been involved in this important decision effecting all of our lives.
There are documented examples of other communities transfer stations who do not adhere to maintenance of the facility.
Increased carbon footprint due to truck traffic mileage when traveling large distances to and from Hot Sulphur Springs.
This proposal is in direct conflict with the Grand County Master Plan with the Town of Hot Sulphur Springs on issues of preserving agricultural and ranching views on the east end of the town, and joint development with the county within a three mile area of the town.
There will potentially be a negative impact to the water quality due to the close proximity of the waste transfer station to the Colorado River and the source for the Hot Sulphur Springs municipal water plant.
Negative impact on National Scenic Byway, one of few in the state and country
Negative impact to our community is documented in other communities fights against transfer station. They include, visual, odor, noise, traffic, and ground water issues as listed below:
Truck traffic including leachate and trash escaping from trucks, heavy truck traffic, road infrastructure and damage, and increased noise
Noise pollution with large trucks, the trucks dropping loads that may still be encased in steel dumpsters onto concrete tipping floors which can cause adverse vibration in nearby structures.
Odors escaping from open facility doors and unclean trucks
Falling property values and disease spreading due to external vectors such as bugs, birds, mice, and other vermin
Cumulative impacts on public health and quality of life from noxious odors, water quality contamination, increased external vectors, dust, and truck exhaust
Increased fire hazard involved in storage and transfer of materials
Litter and the resulting reduction of property values from improperly sealed trucks, improperly stored garbage, and from wind when doors are open
Property values will decrease due to above issues
37. CCIMLS Public Facing Web Site
On Monday November 24, 2008 sixteen members of the Cape Cod and Islands Association of Realtors assembled in Orleans to review the most recent developments of the CCIAOR/CCIMLS websites. Following are some of the questions discussed.
General questions and concerns:
• Did enough planning go into these web sites?
• What are the possible unintended consequences to CCIAOR/CCIMLS members?
• What is the primary objective?
• Whose interests are best served?
• These web sites will make it more difficult for agents to distinguish their Internet services from others.
Sales questions and concerns:
• Prospects may move away from the individual web sites of agents and agencies.
• Prospective buyers have little or no reason to register on a member's web site.
• CCIAOR/CCIMLS is unfairly using membership dues to compete with the agents for prospect traffic.
• Agent/Agency web site investment of time, effort and treasure is wasted.
Rental questions and concerns:
• A highly publicized web site places the association in competition with the member's sites. Members spend a great deal of time and money on software and SEO. The members now have one more very powerful and strong competitor for rental cutomers.
• Rental listings are mostly non-exclusive. The new web sites will inevitably have the same property listed many times by different agencies with different rate schedules, availability calendars, etc. This will be confusing to the consumers and drive rental prices down.

40. Stop NAIS
NAIS is trying to be passed by the federal government. This will make anyone who has animals to register their property and their animal. At our expense. This is to make sure that there stopping animal diseases brakes out.
This also stops anyone from taking there pets off there property. If you go to the Vet your vet has to disclose if your animal is contagious or not. If so they are supposed to confiscate and destroy. You have to have promotion from the government to take you animal to the vet.
If you show your pet in FH or FFA you have to have promotion to do that as well. They want you to micro chip or brand your pets. They are going as far as micro chipping rodents and chickens. It has been proven that micro chipping causes cancer in animals. Some animals it would be very hard to micro chip let alone brand.
What this will do if it passes is most people will get rid of there pets do to expense. This will also stop 4h programs and FFA programs. A lot of these programs help keep kids off the street and out of trouble.
It will put grain growers, farmers and hay growers out of business. Vets and horses ferriers will be out of business. Our economy as we know it will be destroyed. The government is already trying to enforce NAIS in Kentucky, Oklahoma and Tennessee.
41. Stop Firewood Business on County Rd. E, Abrams, WI
Such a business will depreciate the value of our properties due to, the increased noise level of the machinery & equipment & the semi trucks & other vehicles & trailers coming & going.
The visual appearance will also be depreciating due to the large log piles & skid piles laying all over.
We are asking the Zoning board to stop the operation of the business known as Back Acres Firewood LLC on County Rd. E, Abrams, WI, and not to rezone the property where such a business can operate.
42. End Personal Property Tax in the State of Missouri
Missouri is one of only a few states that continue to tax its residents by what they own.
It is time to end this tax, allowing the people to keep a very small portion, of what they are already giving up in taxation.
Missouri Constitution
Article I
Section 9
August 28, 2007
Rights of peaceable assembly and petition.
Section 9. That the people have the right peaceably to assemble for their common good, and to apply to those invested with the powers of government for redress of grievances by petition or remonstrance.

43. Petition Opposing Rezoning and Development
and development of the 6 acre property located on Hatchell Lane Section 30,
T6S, R3E, G.L.D., City of Denham Springs for the following reasons:
1. Traffic impact: with a Junior High School, a large church, surrounding
neighborhoods and businesses, the traffic would be such that it could endanger
the lives of the many children that walk to and from school. Furthermore, with
Hatchell Lane being a two laned road, it would cause significant difficulty at the
intersections of Centerville and Hatchell as well as Hwy 190 and Hatchell, both
precarious intersections today.
2. By opposing this rezoning request, it will maintain the overall appearance
of Hatchell lane which is comprised of primarily single-family homes. By
allowing multi-family housing it will compromise the integrity of the surrounding
areas and could potentially reduce the value of surrounding properties.
3. Is there any place within the city limits of Denham Springs in which
there is multi-family housing?
44. Make a play area for the children
45. Beautification Project for the Intersection at 2nd Street and Helen
This has resulted in a dramatic increase in socializing and loitering on the perimeter of the property and on the street during the day and through the late evening hours and the consumption of alcohol and drugs by minors.
There has also been a dramatic increase in automobile and motorcycle traffic and speeding, as well as dumping of furniture and debris on the empty lot across 2nd street.
We propose a community beautification of the properties by requiring:
1) Property owner of the mobile home park to build a fence barrier around the perimeter of the park;
2) Property owner of the empty lot to provide continued clean up and waste removal as required by the Clean Tahoe Program;
3) Neighborhood residents to provide basic landscaping along the perimeter of both properties including planting of trees, shrubs and flowers, and
4) City of Lake Tahoe to install speed bumps on Helen Avenue and 2nd Street.
46. Remove Nuisance dogs in Madison County
47. Justice in Gang Realated Cities of the United States of America
Personally my family is in danger because they are looking for justice, many of their neighbors can't say anything because if they do they themselves will get in trouble by gang members. And for a person that is trying to get a lot of people to understand that not all the police officers are working their most, I'm not saying anyone police officer in particular, there are people that are trying to help but not enough.
My sister had to look herself for her stolen property, she called the cops and finally they got some one arrested for violating her property, yet one was released on the same day.
I know I'm not the first to bring this up but we really need to get it together, because there are people getting killed trying to support and take care of their families.
48. Northtyneside County Council should relocate local bus stop
49. Stop the Transload Facility in Lockport, Illinois at Chevron Texaco
Chevron (formerly Texaco) located at 301 West Second Street Lockport Illinois has been in remediation for years and is now ready for development.
Opus North was hired to develop this property .
The first parcel ready for occupation is in the south end of the property near 2nd Street and they are considering a Transload Facility that would involve additional train cars unloading things like plastic pellets, lumber and paper rolls and 170 diesel trucks entering the facility 5 days a week. (Approximately 100 on the weekend)
50. Support Mansion House Paintball
Mansion House Paintball is a small Paintball field located in Delaware. This field is currently under going up dating in order to make it more appealing to players around the United States.
Recently, someone has submitted a complaint that this field should be closed because paintball is a dangerous sport.
As many Delawareans know there is very little for our children/teens to do in the form of recreation. Mansion House Paintball helps keep children out of trouble and gives them something to do.
Since opening the field the vandalism by paint has dropped drastically and is almost non-existent.
51. Remove motorcycle parking restriction
§2111.181: Settlement of claim of emancipated minor.
When personal injury, damage to tangible or intangible property, or damage or loss on account of personal injury or damage to tangible or intangible property is caused to a minor, who claims to be emancipated, by wrongful act, neglect, or default which would entitle the minor to maintain an action and recover damages for the injury, damage, or loss, and when any minor who claims to be emancipated is entitled to maintain an action for damages or any other relief based on any claim, or is subject to any claim to recover damages or any other relief based on any claim, the minor, who claims to be emancipated, may file an application in the probate court in the county where he then resides, praying for a finding by the court that the minor is in fact emancipated, and authorizing, approving, and consenting to the settlement of the claim by the minor without the appointment of a guardian.
Upon hearing on the application, after five days' written notice of the time and place of the hearing has been given to each of the living parents of the minor, whose name and address is known, provided the parent is free from disability other than minority, or, if there is no living parent, after such notice to the next of kin of the minor known to reside in the county, the court may find the minor to be emancipated and may authorize, approve, and consent to the settlement of the claim by the minor without the appointment of a guardian and may authorize the minor to receive and receipt for the settlement and, upon the minor executing and delivering a full and complete release for the injuries, damages, losses, or claims, may authorize the delivery and payment of such moneys to the minor, to a trustee or guardian of the estate of the minor appointed by the court for the benefit of the minor, or to a depository authorized to receive fiduciary funds to hold the moneys payable to the ward when he attains majority, or for the benefit of the minor, as the court may direct.
Upon the finding of the probate court that the minor was, at the time of the injury damage, loss, or claim, an emancipated minor, and provided the notice required by this section has been given to each living parent, whose name and address is known, then the release executed by the emancipated minor shall be a full and complete discharge and release of any claim which either or both of the parents might have by reason of the personal injury, damage to tangible or intangible property, damage or loss on account of personal injury, or damage to tangible or intangible property, or any other claim of the minor. HISTORY: 129 v 205 (Eff 10-2-61); 143 v H 346. Eff 5-31-90."
This business has made Eastveiw a junkyard, garbage disposaL where people can drop their garbage off at anytime on to city property. I have complained to the City of Regina on numerous occassions such as December 9, 2006
January 31,2007, May 31,2007.
54. The Potential Sale of Story Mansion
The house would be owner occupied and further uses to the public, open for disscusion.
55. Remove Jeff Edmonds' Dog Lot
A number of these complainants have medical problems and have suffered additional problems and resultant costs associated with ongoing noise. Their complaints and the citations that have resulted from them have had no influence on the behavior of the dogs owner who continues to refuse to control his animals.
We, therefore ask that the Guilford County Sheriff's Department use it's maximum efforts to bring to bear the force of the new animal control law passed by the county commissioners last year and force the closure of this business and that associated dog lot.
Were these people also told it would devalue their property?
The area the CCTV is being installed is NOT a known trouble spot, and local residents would be able to tell you where a camera would be most useful.
This camera is an invasion of our privacy, and although it is illegal for cameras to be filming our property-it does happen.
They have threatened to burn the premises down at the end of their lease which is Thursday 5th April 2002. The local police has been informed of their intent.
58. No to proposed low income housing Elrod Place
This proposed community poses the threat of increased school crowding, possible increase of crime and lower property values.
59. Remove health hazards from East Gardena Neighborhood
Gardena, CA 90248, (310) 323-8841, FAX (310) 327-2291, to stop making noise 24 hours a day. They have refused to honor our request claiming they have permits that allow them to do as they please.
Our research shows that they are in violation, complaints have been made and we have yet to get a sustained resolution to the problem. Zoning Enforcement, Section I, County of Los Angeles Dept. of Regional Planning, 320 W. Temple St.,Los Angeles, CA 90012 has rendered the following,
"The Conditonal Use Permint (CUP) for the property 252 E. Redondo Beach Blvd. is current. Unfortunately, in reviewing the conditions placed on the business by the CUP, none of the conditions address your concerns. There are no conditions that limit the hours of operation.
Nonetheless, while the CUP gives Angelus Block the right to operate, it by no means gives them the right to operate through the night. If the current operation is in violation of other sections of the County Code, they should be enforced. If the property owner has stated that he has a permit that allows him to operate at night, then that is incorrect and because hours of operation is not part of the conditions placed on the property, it does not give them the right to operate at any hour if it violates the County Code, such as Title 13. Therefore steps can be taken to make Angelus Block comply with the other sections of the County Code."
The materials used to manufacture bricks, concrete, ete contains hazardous material which infiltrate the lungs and Angelus Block does not make any attempts to contain those materials.
60. Halt proposed development on Glendale Court
This action has created concerns about the undeveloped land and surrounding infrastructure issues.
We note the following concerns that have been raised by neighbors about existing problems:
. Neighbors have complained of flooding and soilerosion along the creek behind Glendale Court and Pine Valley Circle resulting from poor storm water drainage.
. Storm water from nearby school, Woodland, drains out of a corroded pipe into the debris and eroded creek behind Glendale Court and Pine Valley Circle, creating a run over.
. Run-off water improperly channeled onto nearby land/property has caused damage to vegetation and parts of the landscape on Glendale Court and Pine Valley Circle.
. Neighbors have complained of sewage smell in the area behind Glendale Court and Pine Valley Circle. This is a health issue in the community.
We're seeing the blight in the neighborhood of sink holes, buckling/cracked streets and driveways. The proposed site is next to a vacant house, surrounded by these deteriorating conditions.

Broken page image links
I'm having a problem with comments and image links of a page. Regular posts seem to be fine, but some pages have broken img links.
This page looks fine, with all the images:
but as soon as you get into the comment pages:
the first two images are fine, including the first use of the gold-star.jpg:
but the rest of the of them look like the title of the page has been added to the pathway of the image link, breaking them as an image link, i.e., the second use of the gold-star.jpg now has a pathway of:
which breaks the link and the image on the page.
I've looked through the php of the comments, as well as functions, and loop pages, but don't see why this is happening.
Any help?

SECOND LATIN EDITION of the works of St. Bridget, Swedish mystic and founder of the religious order of Brigittines. After a life as wife, mother and lady-in-waiting to the queen of Sweden, Bridget devoted herself to religion and asceticism. The present work records her prophetic revelations given to her by Christ and the Virgin Mary on a range of papal, ecclesiastical, and secular issues. Through the offices of his secretary, Florian Waldauf, Emperor Maximilian requested that Koberger undertake two editions of the Revelationes, one in Latin and one in German, both to be illustrated. Koberger based his on the first Latin edition, printed at Lübeck in 1492. The woodcuts, and their arrangement into larger compositions, depend thematically on the Lübeck edition but are new designs. While close to the work of Albrecht Dürer, they remain anonymous (Schoch, et al., Dürer: Das Druckgraphische Werk, Buchillustration, A34). HC 3205; BMC II, 445 (IB. 7558); GW 4392; BSB-Ink.

PKC-delta (show PRKCG Antibodies) mediates the apoptotic processes through ROS (show ROS1 Antibodies)-dependent caspase-3 (show CASP3 Antibodies) activation
Protein kinase C (PKC) is a family of serine- and threonine-specific protein kinases that can be activated by calcium and the second messenger diacylglycerol. PKC family members phosphorylate a wide variety of protein targets and are known to be involved in diverse cellular signaling pathways. PKC family members also serve as major receptors for phorbol esters, a class of tumor promoters. Each member of the PKC family has a specific expression profile and is believed to play distinct roles in cells. The protein encoded by this gene is one of the PKC family members. Studies both in human and mice demonstrate that this kinase is involved in B cell signaling and in the regulation of growth, apoptosis, and differentiation of a variety of cell types. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been observed.

My Daily Dose Custom-Blended Serum
REVIEWS 6 Reviews written. Summary 4.7 out of 5 | Write a review
This serum brightens the skin and makes the skin look so clear and luminous! love it and it is so easily absorbed! If the price wasn't so steep for the size of the bottle I would rank this 5 stars. Hopefully soon we will see bigger bottles for the price?
Best under eye treatment yet
I suffer from hereditary dark circles that have always been hard to conceal. I have tried probably every single under eye treatment out there. I would have to probably rank this top three. It doesn't imitate my skin and if used consistently a different can definately be seen.
My must have product to prep my skin
My must have product to prep my skin. It helps to solve my uneven and dull skin. After using this for 1 week, results could be seen. The amazing features of this is that, I can even used this for my under eye without causing any outbreaks, and it helps to lighten my dark circles as well. A must have product for your face and eyes.
Great for acne spots!
Started using this serum by suggestion of my dermatologist - it's an absolute life saver! Luckily I no longer break out frequently, but I do have some dark marks on my face left from old acne scars. I use this very sparingly, just a drop on each mark but it's absolutely the most important part of my face routine because the marks have significantly faded in the past month! I'm usually very skeptical of skin lightening serums, so many of them don't contain enough of the active ingredient to make a difference, but this one is worth it's weight in gold! I no longer have to wear foundation and feel so comfortable in my skin. Try it out if you have any marks you want faded- it's worth it!
Undereye and acne scar miracle
I use this serum as part of my "daily dose" blend and I absolutely love it. I use this with the Licorice and Vitamin C serums, and together they are amazing. Because I started using the serums at separate times (before discovering the "daily dose" option), I can sort of tell which serum is responsible for which improvements. This one seems to target the under eye area for me, as well as old acne and sun scars that I have. I'm light skinned and my acne scars show as faded, below skin red marks. Since I started using this serum those are definitely fading. Additionally, I think the dark spots under my eyes may be lightening as well. Similarly, in addition to the darkness of under eye circles, there is also a sort of bumpy texture that goes along with it-- after using this serum that has definitely started to smooth out. Overall, love this product as part of my daily routine.
Spot Remover
I was noticing "sun spots" on my upper cheeks and was unhappy about how my skin was looking -- and had upped my foundation to full coverage to "cover it up". After using this serum in My Daily Dose blend, the spots began to lighten and skin tone has evened out.. I am so happy with how my skin looks - I no longer have to hide and cover up my skin.

Traveled As: Couple
Room Type: Oceanview
We drove to Bayonne and had to wait in line to drop our baggage off. Total confusion.
Our stateroom # 2642 was on the 2nd deck at the rear of the ship and there was a constant whining noise followed by a loud boom. I wouldn't recommend anyone staying there. We had my time dining and scheduled each day for 6PM. The waiters were excellent and we could have more food if we wanted it. Small portions satisfied us. After dinner we attended the 7:15PM shows and they were very good. After the shows we had ice tea or coffee and zepolies in Café Prominade which was very nice.
When we got to Labadee, we went to then beach on the left side and it was filled with large rocks. Someone could have been seriously injured there. We went further down and swam at a beach that was filled with seaweed and only a few rocks. Very bad experience, but the barbecue was good.

Mysore, Mar 15: The incident in Mysore where a VHP activist was killed led to widespread protests. Mysore continues to remain tense and the police are contemplating extending prohibitory orders in the wake of an intelligence report suggesting that there could be communal clashes.
Several Hindu activists are outraged over the lackluster approach of the government of Karnataka and accuse the Chief Minister of not doing enough to protect the majority community.
They say in recent times three activists of Hindu groups- Prashanth Poojary, Kuttappa and Raju have been murdered. Prathap Simha, the member of parliament from the Mysore constituency says that Hindu activists no longer feel safe in Karnataka under the rule of Siddaramaiah.
Hindus not safe in Karnataka:
Simha who was present in Mysore yesterday tells OneIndia that the culprits should be brought to book. We have demanded compensation of Rs 25 lakh but assured only Rs 5 lakh. We have managed to raise an additional Rs 10 lakh from the party and also another person who came forward to help out the family of the deceased.
Read More: Mysore tense: Protest against VHP activist's murder
I feel that Hindu activists are not safe in Karnataka. Many in the police department too have expressed their frustration as they are being told to probe certain cases in a particular manner. I have seen the politics of appeasement with my own eyes. In some places, the authorities are scared to collect water and power bills from the minority community.
Yesterday I was present all along till the cremation was completed. On the way back there was provocation as some youth pelted stones at the activists. These people provoke and the government chooses to remain silent. The problem is that after Siddaramaiah came to power, he withdrew cases against organizations such as the SDPI and PFI.
This has given them the confidence to do what they like. Under such circumstances how do you expect the Hindu activists to feel safe, Simha questions.
Negating everything and influencing investigations:
Have you noticed how quickly the Chief Minister jumps to conclusions? When Kuttappa was killed during the Tipu Jayanthi protests, he was quick to say that he slipped as a result of which he died. His cabinet colleagues too follow the same. After the death of farmers who committed suicide, one minister said that farmers were lazy. In the D K Ravi case, the then home minister quickly said it was suicide.
These are statements being made much before the investigations have even begun. What message does it send to the police who have not even commenced the probe? They will have not guts to probe the real reason and normally tend to tow the line of the CM and the statement that he has made. This according to me is a deliberate attempt to pressurize the police and ensure that the real reasons are not probed into, Simha contends.
Why was Raju killed?
Simha explains that Raju was trying to re-open a temple which had been closed for nearly 21 years. There were some objections in his area and the temple had remained closed. He had only recently made efforts to ensure that prayers commenced at the temple. This had not gone down too well with many.
Another issue was regarding the construction of a Mosque at Kyathamaranahalli in Mysore. He had contended that the construction had come up on a residential land. He had even petitioned the corporation several times. This led to anger against him and became the reason for his death.

Karlsson fired a closing 67 for a 25-under-par total of 263 to win the Deutsche Bank Players' Championship at Gut Kaden by four shots.
Lee Westwood (69) birdied three of the last four holes to claim a share of second alongside 21-year-old South African Charl Schwartzel (67), one ahead of a four-strong group in fourth which included Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell and world number five Retief Goosen.
Karlsson was controversially overlooked for a Ryder Cup wild card in 1999, but the first prize of £410,000 and 600,000 points lifted the 36-year-old into seventh in the standings with just five weeks remaining before the team is finalised.
Leading by two shots overnight, Karlsson immediately saw that cut to one as Westwood birdied the first from 10ft.
He went two clear again with a birdie on the par-five third and was crucially handed some breathing space when Westwood ran up a double bogey on the fourth after finding a water hazard with his approach and fluffing his pitch to the green.
A long birdie putt on the seventh briefly took Karlsson five clear of the chasing pack but Andres Romero then birdied four out of five holes from the ninth to get within two shots.
Karlsson responded superbly with an approach to two feet for birdie on the 11th and was again given a helping hand from his rivals when Romero ran up a double bogey five on the 14th.
That effectively sealed victory for Karlsson and he could even afford the luxury of losing a ball on the 18th to run up a double bogey six.

|[jira] Commented: (MAPREDUCE-2205) FairScheduler should only preempt tasks for pools/jobs that are up next for scheduling
|Tue, 30 Nov 2010 03:02:11 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2205?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12965079#action_12965079 ] Matei Zaharia commented on MAPREDUCE-2205: ------------------------------------------ I'll have to look at this code in trunk more carefully, but I think you're right that cases can arise in which the wrong job is scheduled. The main one I notice is when several jobs are below their min or fair share and one of them times out. When this job times out, the FairShareComparator looks at all the jobs in order of min or fair share ratio and picks the one with the lowest one to launch. However, that job may itself have been launched quite a bit later than the one that timed out, so the timed out job needs to wait even longer. The issue is going to be worse if some pools have preemption enabled and some don't, or if pools have different preemption timeouts. I think fixing this might require a slightly different approach than you proposed because of the semantics we want for timeouts. We want preemption to occur only if a job (or pool) has not been serviced for X seconds, in which case the preempted resources should go to that job. If we just sort the jobs using FairShareComparator, we may miss the fact that a job later in the fair share order has actually timed out and requires preemption now. Instead, it would be better to change FairShareComparator (and its equivalent in Facebook's 0.20) to sort jobs by whether they are past their preemption timeout first. We should also think about whether it's best to do this in the comparator or outside of it. I think one of the cleaner solution would be to do this prioritization outside the comparator (i.e. sort the jobs and then pull out the starved ones), because this way, we don't need to modify all the comparators to take into account preemption timeouts. So in summary, I'd propose the following approach: * In the FairScheduler object, keep track of which pools are currently starved and past their preemption timeouts. This could be as simple as calling tasksToPreempt() on each heartbeat or more complicated if we want to cache this value somehow. * In FairScheduler.assignTasks, subdivide the pools into timed-out and non-timed-out ones and prioritize assigning tasks to the former. We can still use the FairShareComparator to sort the pools of each type. At the end of the day, all pools should be put into a global order and the assignTasks method can proceed as normal. > FairScheduler should only preempt tasks for pools/jobs that are up next for scheduling > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAPREDUCE-2205 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-2205 > Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib/fair-share > Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma > > We have hit a problem with the preemption implementation in the FairScheduler where the following happens: > # job X runs short of fair share or min share and requests/causes N tasks to be preempted > # when slots are then scheduled - tasks from some other job are actually scheduled > # after preemption_interval has passed, job X finds it's still underscheduled and requests preemption. goto 1. > This has caused widespread preemption of tasks and the cluster going from high utilization to low utilization in a few minutes. > Some of the problems are specific to our internal version of hadoop (still 0.20 and doesn't have the hierarchical FairScheduler) - but i think the issue here is generic (just took a look at the trunk assignTasks and tasksToPreempt routines). The basic problem seems to be that the logic of assignTasks+FairShareComparator is not consistent with the logic in tasksToPreempt(). The latter can choose to preempt tasks on behalf of jobs that may not be first up for scheduling based on the FairComparator. Understanding whether these two separate pieces of logic are consistent and keeping it that way is difficult. > It seems that a much safer preemption implementation is to walk the jobs in the order they would be scheduled on the next heartbeat - and only preempt for jobs that are at the head of this sorted queue. In MAPREDUCE-2048 - we have already introduced a pre-sorted list of jobs ordered by current scheduling priority. It seems much easier to preempt only jobs at the head of this sorted list. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) – North Korea on Saturday proposed a joint investigation with the US into the hacking attack against Sony Pictures Entertainment, warning of "serious" consequences if Washington rejects a probe that it believes will prove Pyongyang had nothing to do with the cyberattack.
The proposal was seen as a typical ploy by the North to try to show that it is sincere, even though it likely knows the US would never accept its offer for a joint investigation, analysts said.
US officials blame North Korea for the hacking, citing the tools used in the Sony attack and previous hacks linked to the North, and have vowed a response. The break-in resulted in the disclosure of tens of thousands of confidential Sony emails and business files, and escalated to terrorist threats that caused Sony to cancel the Christmas Day release of the movie "The Interview". The comedy is about a plot to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
On Saturday, an unidentified Foreign Ministry spokesman in Pyongyang said North Korea knows how to prove it's not responsible for the hacking, saying Washington is slandering Pyongyang by spreading unfounded rumours.
"The US should bear in mind that it will face serious consequences in case it rejects our proposal for joint investigation and presses for what it called counter-measures while finding fault with" North Korea, the spokesman said in a statement carried by Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency, or KCNA.
"We have a way to prove that we have nothing to do with the case without resorting to torture, as what the CIA does," he said, adding that the US lacks any specific evidence tying North Korea to the hacking.
Koh Yu-hwan, a professor at Seoul's Dongguk University, called the North's proposal a "typical" tactic the country has taken in similar disputes with rival countries. In 2010, North Korea proposed a joint investigation after a South Korea-led international team concluded that the North was behind a torpedo attack that killed 46 South Korean sailors, though Pyongyang denied its involvement. South Korea rejected the North's offer for the joint probe.
