Wave after wave of outrage rolled through the House of Representatives, first Tuesday night then Wednesday morning, like the waves crashing against the ruined beaches of Long Island Sound.
The House GOP leadership's decision not to bring the Senate-passed Sandy supplemental relief aid bill to the floor Tuesday night stunned and angered Northeast legislators on both sides of the aisle. One after the other, they stepped up to podium to fulminate against Speaker John Boehner's decision.
Some of the loudest protests came from Republicans.
Peter King, the powerful 10-term Republican congressman from New York, said the conduct of his party's leadership was "disgraceful, immoral."
"I was chasing the Speaker all over the House floor (Tuesday night) … He just decided to sneak off in the dead of night," he raged Wednesday morning.
""These Republicans have no problem finding New York when they're out raising millions of dollars. They're in New York filling their pockets with money from New Yorkers. I'm saying anyone from New York or New Jersey who contributes one penny to congressional Republicans is out of their mind. Because what they did last night was put a knife in the back of New Yorkers and New Jerseyans. It is an absolute disgrace."
Inexplicably, the House had time to listen to speaker after speaker decrying the decision not to bring the bill to the floor, but no time to take up the bill.
Boehner would only say through an aide, "The speaker is committed to getting this bill passed this month."
Government sources said starting over on the bill in the 113th Congress Thursday could delay aid to the region for weeks.
A sample of comments on the floor Wednesday:
Rosa DeLauro, D-Conn.: "A shocking display of neglect."
Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.: "An act of spiteful indifference that will go down in history as a low point. Shame on this House,"
Frank LoBiondo, R-New Jersey: This is a disaster on top of a disaster. … we demand nothing less than we have given the rest of the country."
Gregory Meeks-D-N.Y.: "Walk with me, Mr. Speaker. See the American people who are suffering. We make jokes about the Senate. Well, the Senate stood up and passed the bill."
Bill Pascrell, D-N.J.: "We need to take the gloves off, Jersey-style."
The protests on the floor of the House continued unabated through the morning Wednesday.

Not sure why the Baltimore Ravens official Twitter account went off on the Miami Heat for their supposed poorly attended championship parade, but whatever the reason may be, there's no denying they were flat out trolling the Heat and their fans, and we thank them for it…
#BALTIMORE sure knows how to throw a party!!! #WorldChamps#Ravens pic.twitter.com/iEGWseLkBD
— Baltimore Ravens (@Ravens) June 25, 2013
Heat fans will argue that the picture has either been doctored to make it look like the there was little more than what could be deemed a small gathering of people, or that the angle of the photo conveniently leaves out the hundreds of thousands that showed up en masse to cheer on the 2013 NBA champs. I prefer to believe that the majority of Miami's supporters left early thinking they had somehow lost Game 7 again and were unsuccessfully trying to get back in to the parade when they found out otherwise.

UK comedian Adam Buxton (one half of Adam and Joe) recently uploaded this song to YouTube. As Kotaku reader Sam pointed out, it was for a section called Song Wars in which both Adam and Joe have to make a song on a theme and listeners vote on the winner. This is the result.
Dubstep Warning: Yes, there's dubstep, but don't let that scare you away.

The developer of Metrotube, Lazyworm has released an update for its popular Windows Phone YouTube app. So what's new in this latest release? Lazyworm has opened it up for other Windows Phone 8 developers to utilise URI app-to-app communication and automatically launch Metrotube's player from within their own apps.
Should you click a video link in a third-party app, which uses Metrotube for said player functionality, you'll be transferred to Metrotube automatically where the media will be displayed. It's a handy feature to implement to further enhance the user experience. This will take place within our very own Windows Phone Central app (using Metrotube), so you'll be able to see just how cool this is.
As well as opening up this functionality for developers, the 184.108.40.206 update also addresses numerous minor bugs and usability concerns that users have reported. We've got some news for the future too as Lazyworm is currently working on a UI refresh, so be sure to look out for a major overhaul in the future. We'll keep you all updated on progress and when the next update should hit the store.
If you're not familiar with Metrotube, it's one of many unofficial YouTube apps for the Windows Phone platform. Numerous features are sported by the app, including offline playback (preloading) and account management. Once logged in, users can check out playlists, favourites, videos marked for later viewing and more. There are a number of apps available that share similar functionality, including Microsoft's own official attempt.
You can download Metrotube from the Windows Phone Store for $0.99 (listed for both Windows Phone 7 and 8 -free trial available). A beta is also available on Windows 8, if you're interested. Developers, be sure to head on over to the Lazyworm website for more details on how to implement Metrotube support.

What is Copyright Law?
The Copyright Act of 1976 became effective in 1978 as Public Law 94-553. The purpose of the law is to protect intellectual and artistic works from being reproduced without permission. The laws are quite varied and complex, and failure to comply with them may result in personal and/or institutional liability which may result in fines of up to $100,000.
Under copyright law, one cannot reproduce any copyrighted work without the permission of the copyright holder. The only exception to this rule is a doctrine known as "Fair Use," which permits the use of a copyrighted work, including reproducing portions of that work, without the owner's permission.
The "Fair Use Guidelines"
The Fair Use guidelines are intended to balance out the interests of copyright owners with the needs of others for access to the copyrighted material. When considering whether or not you are in violation of the Fair Use Guidelines, please take into consideration these four factors/questions:
- The purpose and character of the material used; if you are using the material for a non-profit educational institution, you can provide in-class copies at no cost. However, you cannot have a local copying company create a packet for the class and sell it to the students.
- The nature of the copyrighted work; is the work fiction or creative in nature? If yes, you need copyright approval.
- The amount, substantiality or portion of the work used; how much of the work are you going to copy? If it is more than 10% or the main theme of the work is communicated, you will need copyright approval.
- The effect of the use on the work's potential market; will the copying eliminate the need to purchase the material, negating the copyright holders ability to earn money from their work? If yes, then you will need copyright approval.
How do I determine copyright status?
Copyrighted materials include literary, musical, dramatic, pictorial, audiovisual, audio or architectural works. Works without copyright protection are those that are considered Public Domain, which include government documents, unsealed court reports, and expired copyrights (i.e. Shakespeare). For published works not in the public domain, it is best to contact the publisher. The absence of a copyright notice cannot be relied upon to indicate that a work is in the public domain.
The purchaser of a work owns that particular copy and cannot copy the purchased work, in whole or in part, without the copyright owner's permission, unless such copying constitutes "Fair Use."
As an educator, what can I make copies of and not violate copyright laws?
Educators may make a single copy of any of the following for scholarly research or use in teaching or preparation:
- A chapter from a book;
- An article from a periodical or newspaper;
- A short story, short essay, or short poem; or
- A chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon or picture from a book, periodical or newspaper.
Multiple copies (not to exceed more than one copy per pupil in a course) may be made provided that:
- The distribution of the same photocopied materials does not occur every term or year.
- The material includes a copyright notice on the first page of the material copied.
- The students are not assessed any fee beyond the actual cost of the photocopying.
And if the following limitations with regard to amount of copying of a work are applied:
- Poetry: 1) a complete poem if less than 250 words and if printed on not more than two pages; or 2) from a longer poem, an excerpt of not more than 250 words.
- Prose: 1) either a complete article, story or essay of less than 2,500 words; or 2) an excerpt from any prose work of not more than 1,000 or 10% of the work, whichever is less, but in any event a minimum of 500 words.
- Illustrations: one chart, graph, diagram, cartoon or picture per book or per periodical issue.
- Music: up to 10% of the original work but not more than 30 seconds.
- Motion Media (Movies): up to 10% of the original work but not more than 3 minutes.
- Main theme of the work cannot be used, even if less than 10%; for example, the climax of a suspense book.
And it meets the cumulative effect test as described below:
- The copying of the material is for only one course in the school in which the copies are made.
- Not more than one short poem, article, story, essay or two excerpts may be copied from the same author, and not more than three from the same collective work or periodical volume during one class term.
- There shall not be more than nine instances of such multiple copying for one course during one class term.
How do copyright laws relate to Web-based classes and information easily accessible on the Internet?
Before beginning any project to digitize material, you shouldn't assume you have the right to do so. It's an act of publication to digitize something and make it available on the Internet.
In 1998, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act was signed into law. The principle of Fair Use generally does not apply to digital projects that converts a body of material to digital form for long-term access on the Internet. These projects typically require permission from the copyright holder. However, it may apply for specific, limited use-for example, digital course reserves. In this situation, the material would be removed at the end of the course, as well as requiring a password control/protection for access.
Gaining Copyright Permission
To gain permission on materials, the request must communicate complete information to the copyright owner. The American Association of Publishers suggests the following information be included in a letter:
- Title, author, and edition
- Exact material to be used, giving amount, page numbers, and chapters
- Number of copies to be made
- Use to be made of the duplicated materials
- Form of distribution (classroom, newsletter, reserve, etc.)
- Whether or not material is to be sold
- Type of reprint (photocopy, offset, typeset, scanned, etc.)
Send request with a self-addressed stamped envelope to the permission department of the publisher in question. The process of granting permission requires time, so allow a substantial amount of lead time in your request for permission.
If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact Kathleen Wiechelman, Librarian. When in doubt, get copyright clearance!

MORROW, Ga. – Just four days after their hard-fought 1-0 loss at USC Aiken, the Georgia Southwestern women's soccer team was looking for a mid-week PBC win against Clayton State (7-5-0, 3-3-0 PBC). Wednesday games hadn't been good to the Hurricanes, and the trip to the home of Lakers would prove to be anything but kind.
Clayton State would tally their first goal of the night in the 37th minute when Natalia Valentine would score her ninth goal of the season off the assist from teammate Luisa Alvarez. The Lady Lakers would strike again in the first half. A Josephine Holsten – Dior McGruder combination would register the game's second goal with under three minutes to play in the half.
The Lakers would tally an insurance goal within the first fifteen minutes of the second half. The goal came off the foot of Becky Brown off a feed from teammate Elisa Gyllin off a Clayton State corner kick. The Lakers' third goal of the game would be the last of the night as Clayton State would walk away with the 3-0 victory.
The Lady 'Canes were outshot 14 to two with Nicole Hudson and Zada Hyatt being responsible for the two shots. GSW goalie Amber Bahri would make five saves in her 90 minutes of action.
Wednesday night's loss would take the Georgia Southwestern record to 3-10-0 (0-5-0 PBC). Coach Economopoulos and company will be back in action this weekend for a special home doubleheader versus Lander. Saturday will be the "Think Pink!" The GSW women will wear white and pink tops with pink shorts in support of cancer awareness. Pink soccer balls will be used during the women's match. Fans are encouraged to wear pink in support of the event as well.
Commemorative pink t-shirts are available in the GSW bookstore for $10 with the entire purchase price benefiting Susan G. Komen for the Cure. The t-shirts will be available for purchase at the field on Saturday. Concessions revenue from the women's match will be donated to Komen while proceeds from the men's match will go to the Southwest Georgia Cancer Coalition. Admission is free, but donations will be collected. The women's match starts at 1 p.m. with the men to follow at 3:30 p.m.

The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657) ("Act") became effective January 1, 2012 in the State of California. The Act requires that certain companies doing business in California disclose their efforts to eliminate slavery and human trafficking from their direct supply chains. Kirkland's fully supports California's efforts to protect human rights and enforce ethical labor practices.
Kirkland's is firmly committed to holding itself and its suppliers to the highest legal and ethical standards and Kirkland's policies covering its suppliers demand that its suppliers do not engage in unethical business practices, including human trafficking and slavery. At this time, Kirkland's does not have a formal verification program in place to ascertain compliance with such policies.
Kirkland's does not currently provide specific training on mitigating the risks of human trafficking and slavery to its employees or impose formal standards or procedures prohibiting slavery and human trafficking, but if it becomes aware of a supplier or employee who is acting unethically with respect to human trafficking or slavery in Kirkland's supply chains, Kirkland's will take appropriate measures to address the situation.
In August 2012, in an effort to reduce trade in certain minerals and metals that have been used in finance or benefit armed groups committing violent acts in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) adopted a final rule requiring all publically traded companies to disclose and report on the presence of specific "conflict minerals" in products they manufacture or contract to manufacture. (A copy of this rule can be found at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2012-09-12/pdf/2012-21153.pdf) Under this rule, conflict minerals are defined as tantalum, tin, tungsten, and gold.
Kirkland's is committed to full compliance with the SEC's Conflict Minerals rule and the ethical sourcing of all of our products. Our goal is to work with our suppliers to determine that all products we manufacture or contract to manufacture are "conflict free", that is, that they either do not contain tin, tantalum, tungsten, or gold, or if they do, that these metals come from non-conflict sources, as identified in the SEC's Conflict Mineral rule. While recognizing that the global supply chain tracing of these materials is complex, Kirkland's will continue to evaluate and improve its process for ensuring that its products are "conflict free".

As you can probably guess from my 7 month absence from posting, I haven't done a whole lot of crafting lately. However, the beauty (and sometimes the curse) of the internet, is that once things are put on it - they float around and gain a life of their own.
So I was slightly surprised when I received an email from a lovely magazine requesting to feature a project I posted on this blog way back in 2010. I was completely flattered and I felt kind of like some D list celebrity still earning credit for some cheesy cult classic film they were in a decade earlier. Be on the lookout for my Hallmark channel movie coming out soon, I'll be co-starring alongside Molly Ringwald and Steve Guttenberg!
The project was my Recycled Can Lid Plant Markers and I'm happy to say that those can lid markers were much more successful than the poor plants I marked them with (I really should stop trying to garden - it's incredibly sad).
The magazine is Mother Earth Living and they've put together a very lovely Handmade Holiday section in their November/December issue, featuring several quick, easy and thoughtful handmade holiday gift ideas.
I must say it gave me some great gift ideas as well - even if they're just for myself. I really am the most gracious gift recipient I know!
They sent me a complimentary copy of the magazine and I must say I'm enjoying every page of it. It's got tons of great tips on living every aspect of life: like food, skincare, sleep, etc., a little more healthily (is that a word?) and naturally. I'm most impressed with how practical and non pretentious it is. I've met some pretty high and might flax seed toting Granola's in my day and the vibe of this magazine is nothing like that.
So a big shout out and thanks to Mother Earth Living for including me in your fantastic magazine!
(FYI - I was not compensated for this post in any way and all the opinions expressed are my own. I just wanted to say thanks and toot my own horn a little bit.)

Three Hope men's soccer players have received all-region recognition from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA). Seniors Jason Muller and Grant Neil both made the NSCAA Central Region First Team, while junior Tarwo Konbloa is on the Central Region Third Team.
Muller and Neil both became two-time, all-region honorees. Neil was a second-team defender in 2012, while Muller was a third-team midfielder in 2012.
Grant joins his brother, Logan, as a two-time, all-region player. Logan was a second-team goalkeeper in 2011 and 2010.
Hope coach Steven Smith said it is exciting to see these young men rewarded for their hard work and their team-oriented play and leadership.
"Even as they are acknowledged individually each one of these men see their awards as a direct reflection on the success of the whole team," Smith said. "We are very proud of each of them."
Konbloa, Muller and Neil helped the Flying Dutchmen match the school records for wins in a single season with a 17-5-2 mark. Hope reached the second round of the NCAA Division III Tournament and won the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) Tournament.
All three were All-MIAA First Team Selections in 2013.
Muller, a midfielder from Petoskey (Petoskey HS), led Hope with 16 goals and 36 points in 24 games. He also topped the Flying Dutchmen with 44 shots on goal.
Neil, a back from Holland (West Ottawa HS), helped anchor a Hope defense that yielded on average only one goal per game this season. He also contributed offensively with a team-high 10 assists while chipping in two goals.
Konbloa, a midfielder from Kentwood (East Kentwood HS), scored six goals to tie for second on the Flying Dutchmen. He also had six assists.

This is just a quick note to say that I've been promoted to the manager of the Internal Tools team at Kiva. Hooray.
Last week was BADcamp and like many I opted to join in on getting some Drupal work done before and between sessions. Step one, looking through my dashboard to see what's in the backlog. Lots of issues and patches for the delete all module. Got that cleaned up, mostly. On to Drupal 8. Now, I had worked on a couple patches way earlier this year for D8, but things have changed.
Have you ever needed a comma-separated list of node ids from your database to put into a query in another Drupal site? Or just for testing?
Before we get started, I should note, I was really happy with drupal.org today. I came back after a couple weeks of work stealing me away, and found 4 issues I was subscribed to or involved in that had patches reviewed and committed. Even some of my own! What a great feeling. So surely, I wanted to give back by reviewing some patches in my own queue.
A couple days back, I sat down to do my Christmas shopping. I'm not a big fan of shopping, but I do somewhat enjoy doing shopping for this one occasion, if only because I know I can it all in one place: Amazon. Plus, I've put in time over the preceding months marking off ideas for what to get people. This means the process should be relatively quick and painless. I went about gingerly putting items in the basket, along with my co-worker who decided now was the time to get hers done as well. I decided to get a Kindle for my aunt (shh...) and there was a checkbox for getting the power adapter and a $10 gift card for books for it so I went ahead and got those as well. We were going along at a good pace, and my co-worker finished up her shopping before I did. Finally, about 3 hours later, everything was ready to go with about $500 of gifts in my basket ready to be bought and sent. I put gift notes on each item, and proceeded along to what I thought would be the finishing step.

Fox's Kilmeade On How Fox Hires Female Hosts: "We Go Into The Victoria's Secret Catalogue And We Said, 'Can Any Of These People Talk?'"
Blog ››› ››› ERIC HANANOKI
During his Fox News Radio program today, Fox & Friends co-host Brian Kilmeade remarked that Fox hires female hosts by looking at "the Victoria's Secret catalogue" and asking, "Can any of these people talk?" Kilmeade's comment came in response to a caller who complimented his guest, Fox & Friends Weekend co-host Alisyn Camerota, and the person who hired "all the women of Fox."
Listen to Kilmeade's remark from today's Kilmeade & Friends:
As Media Matters has documented, Fox News has a history of sexism on-air and behind the scenes. Kilmeade himself has frequently offered sexist commentary during his other hosting duties on Fox News' Fox & Friends. When Kilmeade was criticized for one such remark in June, he defended himself by claiming that people don't understand he was just having fun.
Fox News chief Roger Ailes has previously said that he's considered whether a woman is "attractive" enough for on-air work.
From the November 16 edition of Fox News Radio's Kilmeade & Friends:
CALLER: Well, you and all the women of Fox, I don't know who was the scout that got you guys, but they -- they rock.
ALISYN CAMEROTA: It was Brian. But thank you very much, that's very sweet.
KILMEADE: It was -- it was, it was actually, we go into the Victoria's Secret catalogue and we said, "Can any of these people talk?"
CAMEROTA: You're so --
KILMEADE: And they all could, and they all went to college.
CAMEROTA: You're so crazy, Brian.
KILMEADE: I am not crazy.

Many Civil War scholars are aware of the admiration and respect which General Lee received, both on and off the battlefield, by friend and foe alike.
'General Robert E. Lee,' Society Portrait Collection, Historical Society of Pennsylvania
On October 21, 1863, months after Lee's humiliating defeat by Federal forces at Gettysburg, Major Biddle, of the 'Army of the Potomac,' stationed at Warrington, Virginia, related a recent experience to his wife, Gertrude Meredith Biddle of Philadelphia, concerning his famed opponent, General Robert E. Lee. He remarked:
"Lee followed on a parallel line with us as far as Broad Run and as soon as we got in his front, and advanced against him he retreated, he remained for one night at this place.
"An old lady living here went to see him. She put out her hand, and told him it had never touched a Yankee, and commenced abusing our troops. Lee they say rebuked her, and told her he was sorry to hear her speak in that way, that there were a great many gentlemen in our army, and some of those whom she mentioned were men whom he had a very great esteem for, and were formerly his most cherished friends.
"The officers whom he took prisoners were allowed to remain in a house at this place and upon promising not to attempt to escape, to hire a wagon to take them to Culpepper without any guard." (Original source: 'Civil War Letters of James Cornell Biddle,' Collection No.1881, 1 Box, Folder 18, October 21, 1863.)
What makes the above account unique is that not only do these remarks derive from a Federal opponent of Lee, rather than an officer of the Confederate Army, it is also ONLY recorded in a manuscript of The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, and found in no other Lee biography. It is truly another example of the speciality and broad scope of manuscript materials available within our collections here in Philadelphia.
For further reference to the HSP's vast collections on the Civil War, see my Guide to Civil War Manuscripts and book, My Brother's Keeper: Union & Confederate Soldiers' Acts of Mercy During the Civil War, a work containing material drawn largely from both published & unpublished sources at The Historical Society of Pennsylvania.

Earlier called the Victoria and Albert Museum, Oldest museum in Mumbai, rare relics on display.
Ancient Indian Caves
Take a ferry from Gateway of India to the Elephanta Caves – Ornately sculpted, 7th-century cave temple on Island.
Lower Parel, Mumbai
Located in Lower Parel atop the Palladium Mall, the St. Regis is one of the latest five star hotels in the city.
SantaCruz East, Mumbai
The Mumba Devi road is to your right from the northern end of Zaveri Bazaar. It is a narrow street lined with stalls selling a spectrum of objects associated with Hindu religion — copper bracelets, rings, rudrakska malas, brass lingams, photgraphs of deities, incense, saffron and so on. Ochre clad sadhus flit along the street, their foreheads smeared with ash paste and vermilion.
Just outside the temple, the stalls sell flowers: garlands of sweet smelling jasmine, orange marigolds and pink lotuses — an offering, which is considered auspicious by the worshippers. The temple itself is not impressive but is an important landmark as it is dedicated to MumbaDevi, the city\'s patron deity. It is from her that Bombay gets its local name Mumbai. The temple is about six centuries old. The present structure of the Mumbadevi temple was built on the destruction of the earlier temple in 1737.
The first Mumbadevi temple was situated at Bori Bunder, and is believed to have been destroyed between 1739 and 1770. Legend goes that when Bombay was a cluster of seven islands inhabited by Koli fisherfolk, it was frequented by the demon Mumbaraka who terrorised the natives. To rid themselves of this misery, the people then prayed to Brahma, the Lord of Creation. Moved by their pleas, Brahma 'produced from his own body' the eight-armed goddess who then defeated Mumbaraka. The demon begged her forgiveness, requested her to take his name and built a temple in her honour.
Dressed in silver robes and adorned with nose studs sits Mumba, the presiding goddess of Mumbai, inside this temple at Phansi Talao. Mumba is a goddess without a mouth and is a local representation of Mother Earth, and is worshipped by the Koli fisherfolk. Beside the statue of the orange faced goddess MumbaDevi also reside idols of Indra, Ganesh and Hanuman. It is common belief that the goddess does not disappoint any of her devotees if they pray to her sincerely. The temple is closed on Mondays.

Breach Candy, Mumbai
At the northern foot of the Malabar Hill, is a part now called Breach Candy, was a temple dedicated to three goddesses– Mahakali, Mahalakshmi and Mahasaraswati. A creek to the north separated the island of Mumbai from the Koli island of Worli. This creek was filled after the completion of the Hornby Vellard in 1784. Soon after, the modern temple of Mahalakshmi was built here. Breach Candy is one of the posh areas of Bombay and boasts of swanky showrooms, expensive apartments and the Breach Candy Hospital.
The Mahalaxmi Temple complex is easily distinguished by the flock of grey pigeons pecking at grain in its courtyard. Beyond the ornate gate is the shrine wherein resides the buxom goddess of Lucre — Laxmi. The compound of the temple is abuzz with stalls selling flower garlands and pious paraphernalia.

Walkeshwar, Mumbai
The Jain Temple is about fifteen minutes away by foot from the Kamala Nehru Park. In the 6th Century BC, Mahavira, a philosopher and thinker, founded the Jain Sect. He urged followers to eschew violence and reverse all forms of life. Adorning the walls of the opulent temple are frescoes of various incidents in the lives of the Tirthankaras (prophets).
Upstairs, a black marble shrine is guarded with celestial personifications of the planets, beautifully painted onto the ceiling. The temple is dedicated to Adinath, the first Jain Tirthankara. In accordance with the teachings of Mahavira, priests in the temple wear muslin masks over their faces, lest they kill germs and small insects while inhaling.
Worli, Mumbai
Moving through the Haji Ali stretch, you come to Worli. Here is located the Nehru Science Centre.
Nehru planetarium was commissioned in 1977 and designed by one of India's finest architects I.M.Kadri. It is run by Nehru Centre, a trust headed by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra State and whose General Secretary is Dr. Raja Ramana, an eminent Indian nuclear scientist. An astronomical exhibition, comprising of 40 exhibits (transparencies & working model) explain the cosmos.
In the auditorium, a breathtaking 'Sky Show' captures the very essence of the Milky Way (Akashganga). Two hundred projectors are simultaneously trained onto a hemispherical ceiling made of aluminium. The effect is realistic and it is not surprising that the planetarium has attracted 3 million visitors so far. Children below five years of age not allowed into the Sky Theatre.

Laburnum Road, Gamdevi, Mumbai
One kilometre away from Khotachi Wadi is Mani Bhavan, the Bombay residence of Mahatama Gandhi. It is a two storeyed house which has the Gandhi Museum.
There is a reference library stocked with over 20,000 books, a photo exhibition of Gandhi's life and well-preserved memorabilia including an old charkha (spinning wheel) which belonged to the Mahatama.
Timings are from 9:30 am to 6:00 pm, on all weekdays.
Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, Fort, Mumbai
Walking for ten minutes down Shahid Bhagat Singh Road, from the Prince of Wales Museum, you come to the Town Hall, a colonnaded structure resting atop a huge flight of stone steps. The Hall is a majestic landmark with its parquet floors, spiral staircases, wrought iron loggias and old marble statues of long -forgotten city founders.
Located here is the Asiatic Library, a rather stodgy 'institution' of the bygone days as it still follows the practice of offering membership only to worthy citizens.
The Asiatic library has a teak lined athenaeum stacked with over 8,00,000 antique volumes including the invaluable first edition copy of Dante's Divine Comedy. You will also find here an amazing numismatic collection of 10,000 antique coins with a rare gold mohur belonging to the Mughal Emperor Akbar.
Despite the crack in the walls, the musty air and the paucity of funds, the Library still has a few loyal patrons who can be seen poring over the newspapers, daily Timings: 10:30 am to 5:00 pm except Sundays and holidays.
Fort, Mumbai
Completed in 1864, The Flora Fountain was erected by the Agri-Horticultural Society of Western India out of a donation by Cursetjee Fardoonjee Parekh and is today, the hub of activity in town.
The area is barely ten minutes away by foot from Victoria Terminus station but this travel time stretches to an easy twenty-five minutes as you edge past vendors and their wares which clog the pavements along with the pedestrian traffic. Stalls selling books (old and new), magazines, newspapers, sex shop gizmos, cheap toys, Tee shirts, fake imported perfumes and aftershaves, flashy watches, shoes, bags, umbrellas, plastic items, Gucci lookalike sunglasses, stationery, cameras, cellphones, posters of Bollywood stars and starlets… you name it and it's there. Some of this stuff is smuggled and is original while most of it is spurious. You need a practised eye to detect the difference.
Across these stalls on the other side of the road is the prominent American Express building, providing a sharp contrast of the credit card culture emerging from within the walls of ancient Portland stone. Outside this building squat self-styled herbal practitioners, with ash smeared on their foreheads, who proffer their panaceas for any kind of medical ailment ranging from ear infection to constipation to sexual impotence. They attract a lot of curious passers-by.
There, in the midst of this demographic mosaic, stands the enthralling Roman Goddess of Flowers, gazing serenely at a pair of torch-bearing stone patriots of the Martyr's Memorial nearby. The square around Flora Fountain is now called Hutatma Chowk or Martyr's Place to honour those who died during the tumultuous birth of the state of Maharashtra.
JVPD, Juhu, Mumbai
In India, Srila Prabhupada's main program for revitalizing the Vedic teachings was the construction of major temples. In 1972, he laid the foundation stone of the temple in Juhu, Mumbai.
The magnificent temple complex is one of the most visited in the country. It is a spiritual oasis in the dry and demanding material life of the financial and commercial capital of India.
Opened in 1978, the complex includes a spacious marble temple, a recently renovated auditorium, a huge restaurant and a twin towered seven-storey guest house where visitors can stay and participate in the daily spiritual programs of the temple.

Worli, Mumbai
The Haji Ali Dargah is a mosque and dargah (tomb) located on an islet off the coast of Worli in the Southern part of Mumbai. Near the heart of the city proper, the dargah is one of the most recognisable landmarks of Mumbai.
An exquisite example of Indo-Islamic architecture, associated with legends about doomed lovers, the dargah contains the tomb of Sayed Peer Haji Ali Shah Bukhari and was constructed in 1431.
The Dargah is built on a tiny islet located 500 meters from the coast, in the middle of Worli Bay.
Walkeshwar, Mumbai
Kamala Nehru Park is a park in India covering an area of 4,000 square feet (370 m2). Located at the top of Mumbai's Malabar Hill, it is named after Kamala Nehru, the wife of India's first Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru.
A place frequently visited by schoolchildren, it has little to offer by way of entertainment apart from a structure shaped like a shoe. The shoe structure is inspired by the nursery rhyme There was an Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe.
From the garden, one can see the spectacular view of the city, Chowpatty Beach, and Queen's Necklace (Marine Drive).

Fort, Mumbai
The Rajabai Clock Tower was designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, an English architect.[1] He modeled it on Big Ben, the clock tower of the UK houses of Parliament in London.
The foundation stone was laid on March 1, 1869 and construction was completed in November 1878. The total cost of construction came to INR2 lakhs, a princely sum in those days. This entire cost was defrayed by Premchand Roychand, a prosperous broker who founded the Bombay Stock Exchange on the condition that the tower be named after his mother Rajabai.
Premchand Roychand's mother was blind and as a staunch follower of Jain religion she was supposed to consume her dinner before evening. The evening bell of the tower helped her to know the time without anyone's help.

Fashion Street refers to a cluster of about 50 to 80 clothing shops on MG Road in South Mumbai, India. It is located just opposite Bombay Gymkhana. Bargain hard, prices quoted are subject to the whims of the seller and have little to no bearing on the actual sale price of the garment.
LT Marg, Fort, Mumbai
Probably the last bastion of British Bombay, poised between the two worlds — the Fort and the bylanes of the old town. The structure is a cross between Flemish and Norman architecture with a bas-relief depicting Indian peasants in wheat fields just above the main entrance.
The frieze was designed by Lockwood Kipling, father of British novelist Rudyard Kipling. He designed the fountain inside the market as well, but today it is barely visible, squashed under mounds of apples and mangoes.
Crawford Market covers an area of 72000 square yards and was built of coarse Coorla rubble, relieved by bright redstone from Bassein. The Arthur Crawford Market was built during the tenure of Arthur Crawford as Bombay's Municipal Commissioner.
The market was renamed Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market after a famous social reformer and houses a wholesale fruit and vegetable market, poultry, fish and meat stalls and a few stalls selling smuggled goods like Mars, Toblerone and Kraft cheese.
During summer, the market smells of sweet mangoes as the King of Fruits swarms the place. If you happen to frequent this part of Mumbai city during summer, drop in at Badshah Juice Centre for a mango milkshake. You won't regret it.
The market is situated opposite the Mumbai Police headquarters, just north of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus railway station and west of the J.J. flyover at a busy intersection.
Opp. Regal Cinema, Colaba, Mumbai
The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Vastu Sangrahalaya, formerly Prince of Wales Museum of Western India is the main museum in Mumbai, formerly Bombay.
The Prince of Wales himself laid the foundation stone of the Museum in 1905, during his visit to Bombay. Completed in 1914, the Museum was converted into a military hospital during the First World War and then formally opened in 1923.
From the Gateway, the Prince of Wales Museum is hardly five minutes away by foot. When you walk along the Chattrapati Shivaji Road past the Bombay Yacht Club, at the end of the road stands the Regal Cinema at the SP Mukherji Chowk. Directly opposite Regal is the domed museum — gothic and moorish in architecture in the remarkable cross of styles which eventually came to be known as Indo-Saracenic.
It is ensconced in the well manicured gardens, sharing the landscape with statues of British Generals and Chinese figurines. This four tiered goliath houses a priceless collection of over 2000 miniature paintings from various stylistic schools in India.
Among other artifacts feature a sizeable number of relics of the Indus Valley Civilisation and instances of Tibetan and Nepalese art. An entire gallery is devoted to the Buddhist tankha scrolls and another to Tibetan bronzes.
The museum houses approximately 50,000 exhibits of ancient Indian history as well as objects from foreign lands, categorized primarily into three sections: Art, Archaeology and Natural History. The museum houses Indus Valley Civilization artefacts, and other relics from ancient India from the time of the Guptas, Mauryas, Chalukyas and Rashtrakuta.
Mt. Mary Road, Bandra, Mumbai
The Basilica of Our Lady of the Mount, more commonly known as Mount Mary Church, is a Roman Catholic Basilica located in Bandra, Mumbai. The Basilica is one of the most visited 'religious places of worship' in the city.
Every September, the feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary is celebrated on the first Sunday after 8 September, the birthday of the Virgin Mary. This is a week long celebration known as the Bandra Fair and is visited by thousands of people.
The earliest historical records of Bandra come from Jesuit priests who were given sole ownership, not only of Bandra but also of Parel, Wadala and Sion, by the Portuguese. In 1570 the Jesuits built a college and a church in Bandra. In the mid-18th century, the traveller John Fryer records that the Jesuit church, which stood near the seashore, was still in use.
In 1733 when the Kunbi farmers migrated to this island from Mumbai because the fish manure they used was banned, they found St. Andrews church, St.Stanislaus Orphanage and a monastery of St. Anne. After this was destroyed in a Maratha raid in the year 1737 when the English aided the Portuguese troops, a slaughterhouse was built on the same spot.
There was also a chapel of Mt. Mary, build around 1640. Legend has it that this was destroyed in 1738 during a Maratha raid. The statue of the Virgin was recovered from the sea by fishermen and temporarily installed in St. Andrews, before being shifted to the rebuilt Mt. Mary in 1761.
Bandra remained a village with plantations of rice and vegetables in the low-lying areas of the island until a causeway linked it to Mahim in 1845. Although many bungalows were built here in the boom years of the 1860's and 70\'s, the posh Pali Hill area, now teeming with film stars, saw the first construction only in the 1880's. The suburbs of Bandra became one of the most fashionable suburbs by the middle of the century. Further developments are envisaged with the new Bandra-Kurla Commercial Complex.
Malabar Hill, Walkeshwar, Mumbai
The Hanging Gardens, in Bombay, also known as Pherozeshah Mehta Gardens, are terraced gardens perched at the top of Malabar Hill, on its western side, just opposite the Kamala Nehru Park.
They provide sunset views over the Arabian Sea and feature numerous hedges carved into the shapes of animals.
The park was laid out in 1881 by Ulhas Ghapokar over Bombay's main reservoir, some say to cover the water from the potentially contaminating activity of the nearby Towers of Silence.
Near Esselworld, Manori, Mumbai
The Global Vipassana Pagoda is a Meditation Hall near Gorai, North-west of Mumbai, India. The Pagoda was inaugurated by Pratibha Patil, then President of India on 8 February 2009.
It is built on donated land on a peninsula between Gorai creek and the Arabian Sea. The pagoda is to serve as a monument of peace and harmony. The Global Vipassana Pagoda has been built out of gratitude to the Buddha, his teaching and the community of monks practicing his teaching.
Its traditional Burmese design is an expression of gratitude towards the country of Myanmar for preserving the practice of Vipassana. The shape of the pagoda is a copy of the Shwedagon Pagoda in Yangon, Myanmar. It was built combining ancient Indian and modern technology to enable it to last for a thousand years.

Walkeshwar Temple Compound, Malabar Hill, Mumbai
Banganga is an ancient water tank which is part of the Walkeshwar Temple Complex in Malabar Hill area of Mumbai in India.
According to local legend, it sprang forth when the Hindu god Ram, the exiled hero of the epic Ramayana, stopped at the spot five thousand years ago in search of his kidnapped wife Sita.
As the legend goes, overcome with fatigue and thirst, Rama asked his brother Lakshmana to bring him some water. Laxman instantly shot an arrow into the ground, and water gushed forth from the ground, creating a tributary of the Ganges, which flows over a thousand miles away, hence its name, Banganga, the Ganga created on a baan (arrow).
Madh-Marve Road, Malad, Mumbai
Aksa Beach is a popular beach and a vacation spot in Aksa village at Malad, Mumbai, India. It is situated close to Malvani.

Juhu Tara Road, Juhu, Mumbai
Juhu Beach is one of the most famous beaches in Mumbai. It may be accessed from the suburbs of Vile Parle, Santacruz and Andheri. Many tourists make it a point to visit the beach when they come to Mumbai, as it is a relatively uncrowded free space in the city, although it does get crowded in the evenings and weekends.
It is famous for its Mumbai street food, notably bhelpuri, pani puri, chaats, and pav bhaji. The food stands are relatively hygienic. Italian food is also very popular in Juhu with many restaurants like Little Italy, Penne, Don Giovanni, and Mangi Ferra. On the southern end of Juhu beach there are many luxury hotels and apartments. Juhu beach is a very popular place for watching aircraft as planes from Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport usually take off directly over the beach towards the sea.
At the north end of Juhu Beach there is a place called Gandhi Gram. During the summer vacations, children often go and play games such as cricket, football, basketball at the Juhu Beach.
Opp. Wilson College, Marine Drive, Mumbai
Chowpatty developed as a sort of base station leading upto Malabar Hill as it is inextricably linked to adjoining areas of Malabar Hill, Girgaum, Gamdevi and Khetwadi. At the northern end of Marine Drive, Chowpatty Beach is a virtual carnival every day in the evenings when people come there with their children for recreation.
The ferris wheels and merry-go-round hold attraction for the children and for the adults, the array of food stalls selling golas,chat, kulfi and bhel. Recommended only for those with a strong biology.
There are pony rides, snake charmers, self-styled gymnasts, monkey shows, eunuchs, astrologers and drug peddlers as well. The Chowpatty sea face has both residential and commercial buildings and there is a red light district behind. Consequently, in the evenings the area is flooded with unsavoury elements, pickpockets and well-muscled masseurs offering their services.
Ahead, to your right across the road stands Wilson College there is also a Nana Nani Park along Chowpatty Beach for the elderly to walk around in, sit and enjoy the sea breeze.
DN Road, Fort, Mumbai
Earlier known as Victoria Terminus (VT Station), this is located a few yards from the General Post Office down Walchand Hirachand Road. Modelled along the lines of St. Pancras station in London, it boasts of carved stone friezes, stained glass windows, flying buttresses and gargoyles.
The station was christened to mark Victoria Jubilee Day in 1887 but is today, more known for the sea of frenzied commuters moving in and out through its massive arches. It was opened to the public on New Year's Day, 1882 and is now the starting point of the Central Railways. The Italian Gothic style, full of marvellous filigrees and carvings, merits detailed examination.
Unfortunately, some of the lovely carvings are at such an awkward height that you can only get a close view from the upper deck of a passing double-decker bus. Located in Bori Bunder, VT has been declared a Heritage Site.
A throbbing landmark of Mumbai city, VT Station was designed by FW Stevens for the Great Indian Peninsular Railway. Stevens had a penchant for experimenting with various styles of architecture, as is evident in a host on public buildings in Bombay. Atop the central dome stands the Roman goddess of prosperity, Progress. During her installation, she was struck down thrice by lightning and was reinstated thrice.
In the adjacent modern annexe reserved for long distance trains, there is a huge hall thronging with passengers and porters (commonly called coolies, and dressed in the traditional dhoti kurta, an attire typical of rural Maharashtra).
The entire complex throbs with commuters, pedestrians, cabs, buses, pan beedi shops and clothes stalls. Beware of pickpockets.

LONDON (AP) — British police say they are examining newly received information relating to the deaths of Princess Diana and Dodi Fayed, and that officers are assessing the information's "relevance and credibility."
Scotland Yard declined to provide details about the information, only saying Saturday in a statement that the assessment will be carried out by officers from its specialist crime and operations unit.
The force stressed that it was not reopening the investigation into the 1997 deaths of Diana and Fayed, who were killed in a car crash in Paris.
In 2008, a British jury ruled that Diana, the Princess of Wales, and her companion, Fayed, were unlawfully killed due to reckless speed and drinking by their driver, and by the reckless pursuit of paparazzi chasing them.

"The nature photograph shows a butterfly on a pretty flower. The conservation photograph shows the same thing, but with a bulldozer coming at it in the background." These words from acclaimed National Geographic photographer Joel Sartore underscore the poignancy of conservation photography — it exists not only to awe and inspire, but also to spur action. Since 2005, the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP) — a CI partner — has been working to bring conservation into focus, one image at a time.
With the film "Witness: Defining Conservation Photography," iLCP photographer Neil Ever Osborne has compiled a collection of stunning, thought-provoking images from over 40 conservation photographers. Notable primatologist Jane Goodall, National Geographic Editor-at-Large Michael Nichols and iLCP president Cristina Mittermeier are among those who share their thoughts on the power of photography as an effective conservation tool.

So don't take it too seriously as the band, perhaps a little high on something, purposely hams it up with abandon. But close your eyes, if you must, and you'll hear some inspired playing, especially an Armstrong solo that's almost completely different from the "set" one he normally took on the tune, especially in the second half. The band is a transitional one with Marty Napoleon still on piano and the little known Bob McCracken on clarinet. Many writers have written about Barney Bigard being with the group from their inception until Edmond Hall replaced him in 1955, but it's not true. Bigard grew weary of the road in late 1952 and decided to sit out a long European tour. McCracken joined in the summer of 1952 and stayed until a refreshed Bigard came back in February 1953. Trummy Young is on trombone, having just joined the band the previous month, beginning a stay that lasted more than a decade. And Cozy Cole is still on drums, though both he and Napoleon would be gone within a year.
But enough from me, here's the clip!

That video is a ton of fun, but I need to take a serious second and send my concern and prayers to the great city of New Orleans, as well as the rest of the southeast costal states. Hurricane Gustav is closing in and I shudder to think about the possibility of another Katrina, especially after having just visited the beautiful city and having met so many wonderful people. Our thoughts and prayers are with you...

Metal Frontman Resigns From Police Force as He Pleads Guilty to Fraud in New York
A former Port Authority New York police officer has pleaded guilty to fraud after it was discovered that he was rocking onstage as the frontman of a metal band called Cousin Sleaze while collecting disability payments from the police department.
According to the New York Daily News, Christopher Inserra entered a guilty plea in federal court in Brooklyn on Tuesday (April 22), one day after he resigned from the force.
Reports state that Inserra fraudulently collected more than $30,000 in disability payments over a nearly two-year-period due to a supposed arm injury he suffered while on duty at the World Trade Center in June 2010. Inserra had claimed he hurt his arm taking an injured Port Authority employee to a medical facility. After an initial evaluation, Inserra was given time off with full pay and he filed claims with an insurance company that led to the $30,486 disbursement.
However, the seriousness of his injury was called into question when photos of a performance of Inserra fronting metal band Cousin Sleaze during a 2011 set showed him "repeatedly moving his arms in a punching motion" and "violently flailing his arm in an up-and-down motion," according to the Associated Press. Though very metal and great for a show, the actions turned out not to be great for his continued time off and medical pay.
In September 2011, Inserra told doctors he was still in intense pain, but his band hit the road for the "Miles of Mayhem" tour and more video footage surfaced of him pumping his fists and thrashing around onstage.
Inserra returned to work in March 2012 and held his position until earlier this week when he resigned and entered the guilty plea. He faces up to 14 months in prison and must pay back the insurance reimbursements. Inserra will be sentenced on Aug. 5. You can watch Cousin Sleaze's video for 'Still Screaming' below:

A top Barclays trader was allegedly caught on video threatening the lives of construction workers in an expletive filled rant outside his Singapore home last month, according to reports by The U.K.'s The Times and Asia's The Straits Times (h/t @finsansakrobat)Olivier Desbarres, formerly of Credit Suisse, was the head of Barclays FX strategy in Asia. Upset about the noise in his neighbourhood, he approached construction workers that had been building outside his house for 6 months, and let out the following (you can check out the video here):
"I'm gonna go after you. I'm gonna burn your f**cking house down," he shouts in the video. "You have no respect. You know what? You're f**cking animals. Chinese f**cking animals… I have a life. I have a family. You break that, I will find your f**cking family. I can find it very easily — I'm a man with resources." The berserk banker, who I can reveal was one Olivier Desbarres, then snatches up a large sheet of metal and hurls it into the construction pit, luckily avoiding causing any injuries."
Debarres, wearing shorts and sandals, only got more enraged when he realised that he was being video taped (from The Times).
"You're filming me? You think that's good? Put your f**cking phone down because I'm going to wait for you to come out and take that phone and shove it up your f**cking arse."
He then picked up a sheet of zinc and hurled it at workers, luckily, hitting no one.
Desbarres has since left (or been let go from) Barclays. The meltdown makes a sharp contrasts with Debarres' various appearances on financial television discussing currency strategy amid the Euro crisis.
