The Politics is one of the most influential texts in the history of political thought, and it raises issues which still confront anyone who wants to think seriously about the ways in which human societies are organized and governed. By examining the way societies are run--from households to city states--Aristotle establishes how successful constitutions can best be initiated and upheld.For this edition, Sir Ernest Barker's fine translation, which has been widely used for nearly half a century, has been extensively revised to meet the needs of the modern reader. The accessible introduction and clear notes examine the historical and philosophical background of the work and discuss its significance for modern political thought.

SummaryToo frustrating to even bother.
The GoodJoWooD is a strange publisher. These guys have brought me some of the most underrated games I've played. Gothic II, Chaser, Arx Fatalis, and several others. These games usually don't get the highest ratings, and yet, I've had more fun with these than most Sierra or Electronic Arts games.
So I eagerly picked up Cold Zero, expecting more of the greatness JoWooD has given me.
There are things I like about Cold Zero. The story itself, if you just lay it down and look at it, looks like a pretty fun romp. You play an ex sniper who starts a sort of detective business, gets involved with the mafia, and all that. The RPG elements are nice, with rewards for being stealthy. Lots of guns and other goodies to pick up...
The BadUnfortunately, the game sucks. Oh boy, it absolutely sucks. First of all, there is no way to be "sneaky". The enemies will sometimes hear you from across the map even if you're sneaking, but other times they won't hear you run right up next to them and start wailing on someone nearby. They also have been blessed with x-ray vision and super shoot-you-right-through-the-wall weaponry. You, unfortunately, do not have these abilities.
The game could be tolerable in its buggy way if loading times weren't so atrocious. It takes thirty seconds to a full minute to load on my system, and that's simply unacceptable. In fact, I only played to the second level. Were I to play any farther, I simply would slit my wrists and be done with it.
The graphics also suck. The game's gamma default is set way too high, and even on its lowest setting it's still near-blinding at times. Controlling your character is sometimes okay, but usually it's laughably bad. Mostly because he'll pick the most horrendous route to get to wherever you told him to go, and thanks to the bad guys' keen sight and insane-precision shotgun pellets, that always means certain death.
Other problems litter this game. Such as, he doesn't automatically reload. Okay, that alone is a small problem. I don't really mind having to manually reload the gun -- heck, that adds a strategic element if anything. But, if you're sitting there right-clicking the hell out of an enemy and run out of ammo, your dumbfuck character will STILL be trying to shoot the enemy, long after you stopped clicking. It seems every one of those clicks stacks up, and until your character realizes that the last forty times he's pulled the trigger have done jack shit, you're vulnerable to whatever shotgun-sniper there may be anywhere in the damn level.
Bam, you're dead.
Quick load.
Wait thirty seconds.
Nah. I give up.
The Bottom LineIf the bugs could be worked out, and loading times were improved, this game could actually be pretty fun. But as it is right now, it's way too fricken hard, the enemy AI goes from bad to psycho-accurate, it's hard to find cover when anything can hit you anywhere...
It's just not worth it.
JoWooD, you've let me down.

|Do you know where your variables are?
writing report using formatby rocky13 (Acolyte)
|on Jan 18, 2011 at 04:16 UTC ( #882809=perlquestion: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
rocky13 has asked for the
wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
Below you will find the entire code. The code does calculations on two of the columns once they are ordered based on first three columns. Instead of "printing", how do I use "Format" to write a report? I am trying to get the header to say "Totals", column names to say (Name, Letter, Number, Grade1, Grade2). There should be a solid break like after the columns names and a dashed line after each "totals line". I need to write the report to an output file. My main problem was that I was not able to get the results printed in the report. I have never used format before so I have no clue. Hopefully, you won't have to change the code. References for further learning would also help. Thanks in advance.

Developer BiographyIt was 1965 in Lille, northern France, during his 10th birthday party with a glass of champagne in his hand that Patrick Dublanchet discovered his vocation: "I want to be an actor!" he explained to his unbelieving mother.
However ten years later the theaters of Paris discovered Patrick Dublanchet. Destiny also brought Catherine [Vagnon] into his life.
"One November evening", he tells with emotion, "I was getting ready to play Rodrigue and she was Chimène". Now they belong together like Romeo and Juliet. For her, he became a dramatic author. He wrote roles for her without forgetting his own acting career. In 1982 at the end of a memorable ONE MAN SHOW where he plays the role of a programmer arguing with a program publisher, an admirer presented him with a LASER 200. With that, Patrick went from dramatic writing to computer game writing for the Amstrad CPC 464 with Amélie Minuit. 3D MEGACODE followed. His latest game, Eden Blues, written together with Catherine, puts him among the select few programmers who are not afraid to try out the most unheard of ideas.

TORONTO — NHL draft prospect Jordan Schmaltz sounded as committed as any NCAA-bound teen has about his decsion on Friday.
"I'm 100 per cent committed to North Dakota," said the projected second-round choice, who's been the subject of speculation over whether he'll play since his OHL rights are held by the resourceful Windsor Spitfires, a possible contender next season. "I think it's going to be great for me. Get a lot faster, get a lot stronger. It's a great system with a great coach, Dave Hakstol. They have a great facility with a great strength coach, Mark Poolman, who's helped a lot of guys get to the NHL."
Each year, there's a fistful of prospects who have NCAA commitments but end up changing course following the draft and playing major junior. By and large, the drain from college hockey is probably overblown, but it loses high-profile players each summer. Following the 2011 draft, the New York Rangers signed first-round pick J.T. Miller, leading to the forward playing for the OHL's Plymouth Whalers instead of at North Dakota, Schmaltz's intended destination. Goaltending prospect John Gibson, who had professed allegiance to the maize and blue of the Michigan Wolverines, was drafted by the Anaheim Ducks and then joined the OHL's Kitchener Rangers. The Dallas Stars spent their No. 14 overall pick on Jamie Oleksiak, who left Northeastern University to play junior.
Schmaltz counted 10 goals and 41 points in 55 USHL games this season, split between the Sioux Falls Stampede and Clark Cup-champion Green Bay Gamblers. The Spitfires have already shored up their defence with a stay-at-home defenceman by signing Patrick Sieloff of the U.S. under-18 team, who could sneak into the first round in the NHL draft on June 22-23. Schmaltz would provide a scoring element, although there's questions about intangibles.
"I'll have to work on him," Sieloff deadpanned when asked about trying to convince Schmaltz to follow him to Ontario.
The Spitfires have also drafted Jordan Schmaltz's 16-year-old brother, Nick Schmaltz, a promising forward from Chicago. However, Jordan Schmaltz is going into his age-19 season this fall, meaning he would likely only play one junior season rather than two. Oleksiak was at that stage last season. However, there was a coaching change at Northeastern that trigger the decision. Oleksiak is also a stay-at-home defender, whereas Schmaltz is a 6-foot-2, 185-pound offensive defenceman.
"Again, North Dakota's the place for me," the Madison, Wisc., native said. "I just don't think I'm NHL-ready right now, so I think it's that year or two or maybe even three to develop that's going to help me."

MacPherson: Walk out of here with me now... and follow what you know to be true in your soul.
Pete: That's a nice speech. it sounds even better with the fancy accent. But it still doesn't cover the fact that you are out of your gourd, McNutty-Pants! You put a bomb in a man's mouth. Not really a great recruiting tool.
MacPherson: Fair enough.
Artie: Ladies first.
Myka: What? Uh, yeah, age before beauty.

Artie: All right, shut up. Hold that. Children. I'm working with children.
Artie: Hey, guys, the Phoenix and the Goblet of Severan, Mrs. Frederic says they've been taken from the warehouse. And she seemed shaken.
Pete: Mrs. Frederic? Seemed shaken?
Artie: Yeah.
Myka: That is so not comforting.

After having gone out with sister Kim and Kim's boyfriend Kanye West, Khloe Kardashian isn't as convinced as the rest of the world is that their relationship is really that serious just yet. She did acknowledge that the two have been good friends for years and because of this, their relationship has a great possibility to develop into something special over time since they are already so comfortable together.
This is what Khloe told Andy Cohen, on "Watch What Happens Live":
"We had a double, triple, foursome date, whatever. I don't think it's serious. I think it's too soon. But, because they're friends for so long, it's just so easy, and that's something I love seeing about Kim."

James Bradley, the suspect in the death of Shannon Rippy Vannewkirk, was in court Thursday and Friday mornings for a probable cause hearing.
Bradley has been charged with Vannewkirk's death, but prosecutors had to prove probable cause to a judge for the charges to stay applicable, since Vannewkirk's body has not yet been found.
A judge said Friday there is more than enough probable cause to proceed in the murder case.
Thursday, prosecutors presented cell phone records of Vannewkirk and Bradley and also showed surveillance video. Several witnesses also were called to the stand including the lead investigator, an FBI agent, Vannewkirk's boss, and Vannewkirk's mother.
The prosecution started the second day of the hearing with a request to play an audio recording of Bradley and detectives.
Inside the courtroom, Bradley's feet were shackled and his hands were free. He appeared to be taking notes on the testimony. He focused on what was happening in the courtroom, but at times seemed to fidget by tapping his foot or rocking in his seat.
The lead investigator in the case was one of the witnesses called to the stand. The investigator said during early interviews with James Bradley, he admitted to having an interest in Vannewkirk and claimed they went on a date, however, the investigator said Bradley explained that "she was in love with Steve [Mott]." Mott employed both Vannewkirk and Bradley at his company, Mott Landscaping.
The lead investigator said the first time Bradley was interviewed he said he saw Vannewkirk last on Thursday, April 3, which was two days before her disappearance.
The investigator said when they interviewed Bradley at a later date, the story changed. He said Bradley then admitted that he, in fact, picked Vannewkirk up downtown the night she went missing.
That's when Bradley says the two got into a heated argument while driving around Greenfield Lake. According, to the investigator Bradley said the two were arguing about Vannewkirk's relationship with her boss, Steve Mott. Bradley claimed he could treat her better than Mott did.
The investigator said Bradley told officials Vannewkirk got out of the car in the Greenfield Lake area, ran away, and he never saw her again.
The lead investigator said cell phone records and video surveillance do not put the two in the Greenfield Lake area at that time. Instead, he said cell phone records put both of them near Bradley's Home on Flint Drive.
Additionally he testified, that in an interview with one of Bradley's acquaintances, she told investigators that Bradley reportedly told her Vannewkirk was at his home on Friday or Saturday.
The investigator previously pointed out that Vannewkirk's phone only signaled near downtown Wilmington on Friday, and only near Bradley's home Saturday night.
Around 7 or 8 p.m. that night, both Vannewkirk's phone and Bradley's phone stopped sending signals which would reveal their location. The lead investigator said that meant the phones were either turned off, broken or the battery was taken out.
He said Bradley's phone started sending signals again around 7 a.m. Sunday morning.
The investigator said cell phone records also illustrated between April 1 and April 5, Bradley and Vannewkirk had 17 phone conversations, and went on to say Bradley never tried to contact Vannewkirk after April 5.
The investigator also said that in a later interview, James Bradley admitted to cleaning his truck three times from Saturday, April 5 to the Wednesday of the following week.
During his testimony the lead investigator also described how they found the body of Elisha Tucker, a woman who had been missing since August 2013. Originally, investigators believed the remains to be Vannewkirk.
The lead investigator said they wanted to search the land in Hampstead where both Vannewkirk and Bradley worked for Mott.
When they got to the property, they said they saw section of dirt that looked like it had been moved recently. When they dug into the dirt they found two black bags. The bag at the bottom about three feet deep in the ground contained the remains of Tucker.
Steve Mott testified that the only way onto the property was through a main entrance, which then forks off into two separate areas that can only be accessed by the main entrance.
Each access has a cable that runs across it, serving as a gate. The cable is locked by a combination lock. Mott said only he, Bradley and one other man had access to the combination.
Mott explained the Bradley usually unlocked the gate most mornings. "I rarely open the gates," Mott said.
The judge ruled that the evidence surrounding Tucker cannot be used in this case. David said he wanted to link her homicide to Bradley to illustrate the reason they cannot locate Vannewkirk's remains is because "[Bradley's] getting good at hiding bodies."
David wanted to point out that Bradley was convicted of the 1988 murder of his stepdaughter Ivy Gipson. He said both Tucker's homicide and Gipson's murder had similarities. However, the judge ruled that evidence cannot be allowed in this case.
Vannewkirk's employer, Steve Mott, was the second person to take the stand. He testified that Shannon had been working for him for about 10 years at Mott Landscaping.
Mott said before Vannewkirk started working for him, they had a romantic relationship. That relationship continued on and off until Vannewkirk went missing on April 5. He said they usually saw each other about once a week outside of work.
Mott testified he last spoke with Vannewkirk around 7 p.m. on April 5.
He said that Vannewkirk told him she was looking forward to the next day when she was having lunch with her mother and also made plans to see Mott later that day.
Mott explained they tentatively had plans to hang out on Saturday night, but they did not end up working out. Mott said when he tried reaching out to Vannewkirk on Sunday, however, she never responded. He said it was not like Shannon to not show up.
Mott also testified about suspected murder James Bradley, explaining he hired Bradley from a temp agency and Bradley worked for him for about a year.
On the stand, Mott said, "Bradley volunteered information about his past," and that he reportedly told Mott he was sent to prison for a life sentence for murder.
Mott testified that Bradley made it appear as though the murder dealt with some type of jealousy issue involving his ex-wife and was under the impression that Bradley had killed a man.
On the stand, Mott said both Bradley and Vannewkirk visited his property off of Hoover Road "quite often" where the remains of Elisha Tucker were found.
During his cross examination, attorneys asked Mott why he didn't tell police in an initial interview that Bradley had discussed his prior murder charge with him.
Defense attorneys also asked Mott about his relationship with Vannewkirk.
"Do you recall telling officers she wanted more of a relationship with you?" Mott responded by saying, "she wanted more of a steady relationship than what we had."
Roberta Lewis, Vannewkirk's mother, also testified. She said she was in constant communication with her daughter and spoke with Vannewkirk about three or four times a day before she went missing April 5. Lewis went on to say that Vannewkirk would usually call her "no matter what."
Lewis said they had plans to go out for a birthday lunch on Sunday, April 6. She tried calling Vannewkirk that day, but it went to voicemail. She also said Vannewkirk was not home, so Lewis left her daughter's birthday presents on the porch and went home to Southport.
Lewis said Vannewkirk didn't call that night, and that's when she knew "something was wrong."
Lewis said she returned to Wilmington on Monday and Vannewkirk still wasn't answering her door. She requested a police officer open the door and found Vannewkirk was not there and nothing inside the home was disturbed or missing. Lewis said Vannewkirk had not packed a bag and has been missing ever since.
Lewis said Vannewkirk was mentally fine and was working hard on taxes for Mott's Landscaping. She said "she wasn't going anywhere" and was making plans to potentially move in with her and act as her caretaker.
If probable cause is determined, the murder case of Shannon Rippy Vannewkirk continues and the charge of capital murder will remain. Bradley will remain in custody without bond. If no probable cause is found, David says Bradley will go free.
David adds this is not the first North Carolina murder case without a body.

Rovers MOTM vs. Sunderland
Vital Blackburn's most recent poll asked, "Rovers Man of the Match vs. Sunderland?" Roque Santa Cruz.
Once again (with it either him or Brad Friedel most of the time) Santa Cruz was the man voted Man of the Match against Sunderland last Saturday, with his 49% making him a clear winner, and rightly so with the hand he had in the first goal, and bagged the second himself.
Only one man, David Bentley (with 18%) after a fine display and a goal to boot even came close, but even so he still finished some way behind. The rest who were much the same as each other.
So in summary
B Friedel - 5%
B Emerton - 8%
C Samba - 5%
A Ooijer - 5%
S Warnock - 3%
D Bentley - 18%
Tugay - 1%

M Derbyshire - 1%
R Santa Cruz - 49%

Republican 7th SD candidate Maureen O'Connell has called a 1:30 p.m. press conference to respond to "illegal telemarketing calls" made during last night's Super Bowl game that her campaign says were "fraudulently attributed" to her in a "blatant and unlawful attempt to undermine her candidacy."
Newsday's Spin Cycle has more about the calls, for which O'Connell's Democratic opponent, Craig Johnson, insists it is not responsible.
"The last shreds of credibility Maureen O'Connell had have already been eviscerated by the editorial pages of The New York Times and the Daily News," said Johnson spokesman Alex Navarro. "She's gotten some very bad advice. At this point, O'Connell should stop lying about her record, stop lying about the campaign and stop embarrassing herself."
Working Families Party Co-Chairman Bob Master, who dismissed the calls as "stupid," said the WFP had nothing to do with them.

How can having your heart ripped out be good for your relationship? The answer will surprise you
No one is an advocate for breaking up – except, of course, relationship counselors, divorce lawyers, and country western singers who are looking for new material. But, sometimes, breaking up can actually help save a relationship and even make it stronger than it was before.
This isn't to say that people in a happy, stable relationship should throw in the towel, giving their jilted ex my contact information as they do. Relationships that are working well should continue to do just that: work well.
But, relationships that have ended or relationships that are headed in that direction can actually benefit from a little time apart. To demonstrate this, let's consider three scenarios:
Defeated Dave and Apathetic Amy: Dave and Amy have been in a relationship for five years. Dave works as an accountant and spends his days calculating the last time he and Amy had sex (it's been 8 months now). Dave's heart is hurting and his hand is cramped (8 months!). Amy works as a bank manager and spends her days telling her coworkers that her life is unexciting. She finds herself lying awake at night, annoyed by Dave's breathing (once or twice she's considered smothering him with her pillow). Dave and Amy have each thought about leaving, but they aren't always unhappy. They give their relationship a five out of ten and assume that that's pretty okay.
Doormat Matt and Bossy Betty: Matt is a doormat, so lacking in a backbone he could be mistaken for an invertebrate. Betty, on the other hand, has so much of a backbone she could be mistaken for Quasimoto. This causes Betty to get on Matt's case about everything: his choice of clothes, the way he parts his hair, his desire to watch a baseball game on Sunday afternoon. Betty bosses Matt around endlessly, but Matt's not one for conflict: watching the movie 12 Angry Men practically propels him into a panic attack. So, he assuages Betty's demands with the words she wants to here: "yes, dear." Matt and Betty will end up staying together forever: Matt lacks the ability to leave, and Betty enjoys always getting her way.
Unhappy Henry and Hapless Holly: Henry and Holly were once very happy: they tell everyone that it was love at first sight. But, fourteen months later, they are both only concerned with themselves. Henry has begun to brag to anyone who will listen. He constantly exaggerates about the past, recalling how he was the first one to say YOLO, how he was once approached about doing some hand modeling, about how he scored a winning touchdown in high school (he never includes the part about the touchdown being for the opposing team). Holly hasn't noticed any of this: she hasn't heard anything Henry has said for the past four months. Instead, Holly has begun tuning him out, withdrawing into an imaginary world where she is living in New York City with the cast from Sex in the City. Henry and Holly have come to grips with the lives they are leading: they love each other, even if they don't like each other all that much.
The above couples are all lacking communication, excitement, and the willingness to meet their own individual needs (which will only result in unhappiness). Because of all this, these couples no longer stimulate each other, they simply pacify each other: they are no longer in a relationship, they are in a placationship.
In these instances, breaking up can provide the means needed for each party to work on their own flaws, to reevaluate how giving (or ungiving) they were towards their partner, and to see what they could and should do differently. By breaking up, each person is able to see their issues from a more objective standpoint.
Sometimes, breakups are like halftimes of football games. They give people a chance to reevaluate their game plan. They allow people to see what works, what doesn't, and how they, as an individual, help (or hurt) their team.
This allows them to go into the second half with a different mindset, unlikely to make the same mistakes they made before. This can result in a more cohesive game plan, a better ability to work through problems, and, most importantly, lots and lots of scoring.

Mitt Romney's statement yesterday that "corporations are people" briefly lit up the Left and triggered an immediate DNC attack video. While the news cycle has moved on, the issue is worth revisiting because it reveals the shallowness of the populist Left's economic thinking.
The bottom line is simple: Mitt Romney was right, in every way that matters.
Putting aside the technical legal reality that corporations are considered "persons" under the law (they can sue and be sued, pay taxes, speak, etc.), the fundamental economic reality is that corporate successes benefit human beings and corporate failures harm human beings. In fact, the Left's real beef isn't with corporations at all but with people. They understand that people benefit from corporate success, but they don't like who benefits. Their favorite bogeymen, Exxon and Walmart employ hundreds of thousands, but apparently they are the wrong hundreds of thousands, paid at the wrong wages. But is a janitor at Walmart worse off economically than, say, a janitor at the mom and pop hardware store (also likely a corporation) that closed after Walmart came to town? I know that Walmart has directly benefited my family (and not just because I sold guns and sporting goods at the Georgetown, Kentucky Walmart for one glorious summer in 1987) through lower costs and greater convenience. I think we're people.
Critics complain that corporations are "hoarding not hiring," but ask yourself this: Wouldn't you want to work for a corporation that has the cash reserves to not only weather economic storms but also invest in future products or innovation? Aren't real people benefiting even from "hoarding?"
The quest for jobs is really a quest for sustainable corporate health. Decades of failed socialist experiments should have convinced us all that governments can't hire nations into prosperity. We can, however, create the conditions for entrepreneurs (people) to create corporations that employ workers (people) to make products that consumers (people) want or need. And if some CEOs get rich in the process, what's wrong with that?
After all, rich people are people too.

Hapless Washington State manhandles, upsets No. 23 Bruins
PULLMAN, Wash. -- UCLA and Washington State have battled on basketball courts for almost 80 years, but it would be difficult to describe their long-running series as a rivalry.
A true rivalry requires competitive games, and the Bruins have routinely routed the Cougars in a series that UCLA leads 102-15.
Alas, Washington State's 15th victory in the series may have been the most shocking of them all. The last-place Cougars knocked the 23rd-ranked Bruins out of first place in the Pac-12 Conference with a wire-to-wire, 73-61 triumph Wednesday evening at Beasley Coliseum.
"I take full responsibility," UCLA coach Ben Howland said. "Obviously, I didn't have our guys fearful of losing this game, because we didn't come out with the emotion and intensity that we needed to have."
Brock Motum led the Cougars with 20 points, and Royce Woolridge added 19. WSU (12-18, 3-14) had lost nine straight games, and eight in a row to UCLA.
"I'm proud of these guys (his teammates) for sticking with it," Motum said. "It could have been easy to give up a long time ago."
"I'm so happy for the guys," Washington State coach Ken Bone said. "I've said many times, they're a great group of kids. It's one of my most favorite teams I've ever coached."
The Bruins (22-8, 12-5 Pac-12), who were tied with idle Oregon for first place, were shockingly listless at the start of the game. UCLA entered leading the league in scoring and WSU was next to last, but the Cougars raced to leads of 7-0, 19-2 and 25-4 against a Bruins team riding a four-game win streak.
"Credit to them; they played awesome," said Jordan Adams, who led UCLA with 18 points.
"Obviously, a disappointing loss and effort," Howland said. "The way we came out defensively was poor."
The Cougars won with starting guards DaVonte Lacy and Mike Ladd sidelined with knee injuries. Ladd has missed six games and may be done for the year. Lacy tore a meniscus in Sunday's game at Washington and is scheduled to undergo season-ending knee surgery Friday.
"He's a huge part of our program," Bone said of Lacy. "He's one of the captains. One of our leaders."
Added Howland: "They lose Lacy and Ladd; you've got to give them a ton of credit. I thought Ken Bone did a great job of keeping his guys positive."
Motum, playing in front of family and friends visiting from his native Australia, tied his career high of 11 rebounds.
"Motum played great tonight," Howland said. "We really did a poor job defending him. He's a great player."
The Cougars outrebounded UCLA by a whopping 46-23 margin.
"Says a lot right there," Howland said.
The Bruins trailed 35-24 at the half. They pulled within six on a Shabazz Muhammad 3-pointer early in the second half, but the Cougars held tough and finished off the Bruins with three straight dunks before 4,268 spectators.
The first of those dunks, a vicious two-hander, was delivered by Will DiIorio. Bone again had praise for the hard-working junior, a former walk-on out of Bainbridge (Wash.) High.
"I think he has a lot of influence on other guys as far as, it (his effort) becomes contagious," Bone said. "All of a sudden, the guys are just scrappin'."
Added DiIorio: "It's been a while since we've got a win and we've been in every game, pretty much. To get a win like that is great, especially against a ranked team."
Muhammad had 14 points, but he went 4 for 19 from the floor. A finalist for national freshman of the year awards, Muhammad started the day ranked second in the Pac-12 with 18.3 points per game. Calfornia's Allen Crabbe was leading at 18.4.
The Bruins finish conference play Saturday at Washington. The Cougars' final league game is at home Saturday against USC. The Pac-12 tournament opens next Wednesday in Las Vegas.
NOTES: Howland called three timeouts in the first 10 minutes, 16 seconds to try to slow WSU's momentum. .. UCLA was ranked 32nd and Washington State 194th in ESPN's Daily RPI for the 347 NCAA Division I teams. Fresno State, at No. 148, represented the top team the Cougars had defeated. ... UCLA came into the game leading the Pac-12 in scoring (76.0) and field-goal shooting percentage (46.3). WSU was next to last in the two categories at 63.8 and 42.5, respectively. The Bruins were last in rebounding margin (minus-1.0 per game), but first in assists (17.2) and turnover margin (plus-2.7). Many of WSU's 17 turnovers came in the final minutes.

As we count down to the Queensland state election date, I've just published a new piece about the Twitter campaign in The Conversation – head over to the site to read it there. The centrepiece of the story is this graph of @mentions of the two leaders' accounts throughout the election campaign, though – it striking that opposition leader @Campbell_Newman has now pulled well clear of @TheQldPremier Anna Bligh.
And that's in spite of Bligh's (and Labor's) very active engagement on Twitter throughout the campaign, of course, which I've documented over the past four weeks. I can't help but see this as a sign that the Twitterati are already talking about Premier Newman. More in a final update on the weekend.

Chester Bennington's private funeral ceremony attended by friends and family
More than one week after his death, Linkin Park singer Chester Bennington was laid to rest at a private funeral service on Saturday. The ceremony took place at the South Coast Botanic Garden in Palos Verdes where close friends and family were given the opportunity to honor and remember the 41-year-old musician's life and work.
According to TMZ, a couple hundred people were in attendance including many musicians that Bennington had worked with throughout his years. The outlet notes that a stage was set up, complete with a full drum kit for those that wanted to pay a musical tribute to the departed. Fittingly, guests were given yellow wristbands and VIP passes to gain entry into the ceremony, much like that of a concert or music festival.
Us Weekly reports that Bennington's friends, family and bandmates were in attendance at the ceremony. Recently, the late singer's wife released a statement on the death of her husband, and many of his friends in the music business took the occasion of his funeral to share their thoughts on both the service and the "In the End" singer.
Former lead singer to the band Of Mice and Men, Austin Carlile posted a shot on Instagram showing the materials handed out to attendees of the funeral, including a pass with a picture of a shirtless Bennington playing for a large crowd.

All quotes by Jim Courier
(38 quotes found)
"I really try not to read the tennis articles, because a lot of times they're guessing at how a player is feeling, and I like to keep myself kind of open minded about how I'm feeling, rather than have someone else explain to me what's going on."
"His day is done, and now we're doing it. And we're doing it pretty well and not with fingers in the air and our hands on our crotches."
"It's a simple question of supply and demand. But all of us are grossly overpaid. I think it's a ridiculous dispute."
"In the beginning, he did everything with the viewpoint of what's in it for Andre. But he transformed himself from just another selfish athlete into a generous, caring, enlightened person, someone who ran away from responsibility and now dresses himself up in it."
"The match was decided by absolutely top-flight tennis at the most crucial moments -- rather than nerves, rather than bad calls. It was a pure tennis match, in that sense, by two guys who everyone could aspire to be, battling it out in the most sportsmanlike fashion. And it was a truly heartfelt hug afterwards, too. It was a moving match, and they don't come as often as we'd like."

Seek and ye will Discovr!
Wondering which app to download next? Which song to tune in to? Or whom to follow on Twitter? The Discovr series of apps delivers the answers � elegantly and effectively
What should I do next?" — in this query pops up in our mind, the moment a particular activity has finished. It could be a film, a course of dinner, a book, a TV programme...the moment one ends, one tries to move ahead to something. And if one's experience has been good, hopefully something else. Of course, getting the answer to that query is not easy. One can read reviews, consult friends, log into social networks and see "what's happening" ...or one can simply download an app and let it work out things. Well, at least in the case of recommending films, music, apps to download and even people to follow on Twitter.
Making this happen is the Discovr series of apps for iOS devices (we are waiting for Android and WP avatars) which focus on providing you similar alternatives to a particular product or service. And do so in a particularly striking manner. All you have to do is enter a name or a term and the app will pull out alternatives and display them in an atom like structure, with your entry in the middle and the alternatives around it, linked to it with branches. You can select an alternative to either find out more about it or to get alternatives similar to it as well. Keep doing this for a while and you will end up with a network of choices, rich in detail and easy to understand, interlinked magically. Yes, and all you have to do is enter a few words (maybe even one) to get it all going. That is the magic of Discovr and all its linked databases. Currently, you can use Discovr apps to discover (pun intended) music, films, people and apps through the following:
Discovr Music
Price: R110
Available from: iTunes App Store
Love a band and want to hear more like them? Or maybe just want to know more about an artiste? Just open this app and enter the name of the person in question. The app will instantly show you other performers similarly to the one you have entered. To know more about each, just double tap on their names. This will let you an entire section devoted to them, containing their brief biographies, song excerpts, album reviews, tweets and even further links about them. If you are still curious about the performers then just tap on any of those who have been shown and a new list of artistes will spring up around it. India artistes are well represented too — we got results for Kishore Kumar, Adnan Sami and AR Rahman, but yes, this app works best for those interested in international artistes. We wish we could search by songs and album titles too, though.
Discovr Movies
Price: R55
Available from: iTunes App Store
This is for film seekers as its name reveals. And the closer you stick to Hollywood, the better your results will be. We searched for Devdas and ended up getting some very interesting related options including Pretty Woman and Silver Linings Playbook, but staring harder at the results revealed that the app had identified a South Indian film with a similar title for the foundation of its search. Move to Hollywood and the results are quite good, with not only similar films being shown up in the network but also with a synopsis, cast details, reviews and clips from the film. A neat touch is the presence of two sections 'In Cinemas' and 'Our Picks' which show recent films and those shortlisted by the developers. We do miss the Bollywood element here, and yes, searching by actors would have been kind of cool, but even without that, this is one must-have app for all iPhone/iPad toting film buffs.
Discovr Apps
Price: R110
Available from: iTunes App Store
So you loved Temple Run and want to download other apps that are just like it — well, just enter Temple Run in the search box of the Discovr Apps box and see the alternatives spring up all around you in a veritable tree of apps. And just as in the case of films and music, you get not only the names of similar apps but also their details about them, screenshots, related tweets and if available, even videos about them. We actually would have loved reviews and ratings in this particular app as that would have added a lot of value. Still, this remains the best way to discover apps on iOS and perhaps the one app that should be made compulsory for all mobile operating systems. We wish there was something half as good on Android and Windows Phone.
Discovr People
Price: Free
Available from: iTunes App Store
This is the only app in the Discovr suite that is available free of cost. And it certainly is the best starting point for any one who wants to make their way around the mad, mad 140-character world that is Twitter. You can search for people by their Twitter handle or their actual names and get very very good results. A tap on each recommendation reveals the person's Twitter profile, their recent tweets and mentions, the people they themselves are following and the tweets they marked as favourites. You also have the option to follow people from within the app (a Twitter login is needed, though). Incredibly useful for anyone who is trying to figure out the best people to follow on Twitter. We would have loved having the option to search by subject, though, but then that's just us being hard to please.

Native American
AIDS Project closes
by Tom Kilduff
Hit by declining revenue, the Native American AIDS Project (NAAP), a small organization that served mostly indigent clients, closed its doors earlier this month.
Officials with the San Francisco Department of Public Health said that the clients have transitioned to other agencies. An NAAP official said those agencies included the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center and the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
"Each client was referred hands-on of where they would be the best fit," said Darren English, board president and spokesman for NAAP. "Some clients need more mental health assistance, some need a trans program, and some need Latino or Hawaiian approach. And some are perfectly happy going to SFAF."
API Wellness Center Executive Director Lance Toma said that less than 10 high risk transgender clients from NAAP transitioned to his agency. The clients were previously served by NAAP under a collaborative with API, Toma added.
"These clients began accessing social support and HIV prevention services at our Trans: Thrive community drop-in center at the beginning of December," Toma said in an email.
Over at SFAF, spokesman James Loduca said that the agency's Positive Force program is in the process of transitioning some NAAP clients. The foundation also hired one of NAAP's case manager as a temporary employee, he said.
The health department was notified September 11 of the impending closure and became involved in the transition.
"Our job at DPH is to support NAAP in closing and linking their clients to new services, which is what we've been doing these last two months," said Tracey Packer, director of HIV prevention who has helped in the transition. "We are also supporting staff with information and references about where any potential jobs may be."
According to internal budgets, five staff members were on payroll, four of whom were full-time.
English, who was a client of the agency 18 years ago, said, "the agency had struggled for at least four years." In addition to a drop in revenue, its lease was not renewed, he said. The agency formally closed December 14.
English said that the agency saw about a 50 percent reduction in funding, mostly from foundation grants.
"We've seen an almost $100,000 reduction every year for the past four years," he said. "It's been a steady decline."
An internal budget document, provided by English and dated December 14, shows that NAAP had an ending net income of $11,682.62 after all revenue and expenses were accounted for. The organization, founded in 1994, was located at 1540 Market Street and specialized in culturally appropriate services for Native American and indigenous populations who are HIV-positive.
"We dealt with clients who were kicked out of other agencies, folks who had multiple diagnoses, addiction and alcoholism as well as being HIV-positive," English said.
The Bay Area Reporter was not able to speak with former staff members or clients.
NAAP received the bulk of its funding from two branches of the Department of Public Health: $125,000 from HIV prevention and $102,000 from HIV health services. According to Packer, "funding was to remain level going into 2013 and into the future." The agency served 43 clients in its prevention program, the number of clients on the medical side was not known at press time.
The B.A.R. was given copies of projected budgets for fiscal years 2011-2012 and 2012-2013 by English. Salaries were modest, ranging from a low of $12,000 to a high of $62,000. But from November 2012 through June 2013, the agency would have to run deficits each month, according to internal documents.
NAAP had fallen behind on paying the rent, English said in a December 18 phone interview. The landlord had posted an unlawful detainer (eviction) notice. DPH became involved so that the agency could stay in the building until December 31. The landlord did not renew the lease.
"We looked at many options and searched for an affordable location including subletting from another agency," English said. "We hoped DPH would make NAAP a city program. We looked at everything we could think of."
Toma said that he understands how NAAP's closure may be difficult for clients.
"We know this kind of loss can be very hard for clients and our goal is to create as much stability for them as possible, as quickly as possible," Toma said.
He added that API Wellness Center also provided information to NAAP on all of the men's, transgender, HIV, and medical services his agency provides so that referrals could be made.
"If these clients choose to come to API Wellness Center, they will have access to high quality primary care, dental services, mental and behavioral health services, case management, and critical social support services to keep them healthy and in treatment through this transition and beyond."
Past and future and circles
English leaves his participation at NAAP on a sad but grateful note.
"I have never met a group of people more dedicated to their clients," he said. "This staff has worked through budget cuts, furloughs. They went three weeks without pay and the clients had no clue. It is heart-wrenching to have to close as NAAP has been such a huge part of my support system, knowing that they were always there."
Many clients, staff, and volunteers will seek support in Bay Area American Indian Two-Spirits, which had also been a fiscal sponsor of NAAP. BAAITS Co-Chair Ruth Villasenor spoke highly of the now-closed agency.
"The reason you haven't heard from the staff, I suspect, is that they are at that place where they are hurting, angry, and sad," she said. "There is competition for funding where the government pits minorities against each other. You have to have the numbers to prove your services are needed."
Certain Native American-centered activities could easily find a home in more mainstream care services, English believes.
"We would have beading classes and a talking circle. When you get somebody's mind that is focused on a repetitive task like beading, they are more likely to share what they are feeling," he said.
In this capacity, the beading classes served as an adjunct to group therapy. Traditional healers were frequent visitors and drum circles were frequent events.
"NAAP always had an open door policy," Villasenor said.
Toma said the closure of NAAP leaves a void in the city's HIV programs.
"The NAAP closure is a terrible loss for San Francisco's Native American community and we in the HIV service network must respond to try to fill this gap," he said.
In the last several weeks, members of the Native community were there to mourn with NAAP. At the 14th annual American Indian Child Resource Center Pow Wow at Laney College, the folks at the agency were honored, Villasenor said. As for memorabilia, English said that he wants to donate "pieces of buckskin with the names of those who've passed away" to the San Francisco GLBT Historical Society.
"Another thing we've become known for is end of life," English said. "Many times we would receive phone calls that there were Native persons in the morgue unclaimed; our staff became proficient at reuniting loved ones with their families."
And speaking of family, English added, "that is the one thing, family, that was the thread that connected all these Native cultures. You take care of your family. See the guy on the street, that's your family."

Meritorious Service Medal
Lieutenant-Colonel Donald Dickson Farmer VC MSM (28 May 1877 – 23 December 1956) was a Scottish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.
He joined the Cameron Highlanders on 29 March 1892,[1] and served with the 1st Battalion in the Sudan Campaign, 1898, and was present at the battles of Atbara and Khartoum.
Farmer was 23 years old, and a sergeant in the 1st Battalion, The Queen's Own Cameron Highlanders, British Army during the Second Boer War when he won the VC on 13 December 1900 at Nooitgedacht, South Africa,. His citation reads:
During the attack on General Clements Camp at Nooitgedacht, on the 13th December, 1900, Lieutenant Sandilands, Cameron Highlanders, with fifteen men, went to the assistance of a picquet which was heavily engaged, most of the men having been killed or wounded. The enemy, who were hidden by trees, opened fire on the party at a range of about 20 yards, killing two and wounding five, including Lieutenant Sandilands. Sergeant Farmer at once went to the Officer, who was perfectly helpless, and carried him away under a very heavy and close fire to a place of comparative safety, after which he returned to the firing line and was eventually taken prisoner.[2]
During World War I he served with the King's Regiment (Liverpool).

"Last year I was behind the 8-ball starting out, without being able to get the physical reps," he said. "It was definitely hard for me to pop in and then everything's going so fast, I'd hear the calls in the meeting room, I'm picking it up, picking it up and once I finally get out there, it's like 'blah blah blah blah blah,' and I'm like, 'Man.' "
He smiled, talking to reporters about the memory.
"So it definitely helped me out a lot, just getting the physical reps and being able to go back and watch film and being able to correct my bad plays that I had."
Murray rushed for 897 yards last year before suffering a broken ankle in a game against the Giants. Without him, the Cowboys eventually finished out of the playoffs. He didn't play in the second game against the Giants, the season finale.
So. Want revenge, DeMarco?
A quick laugh.
"Nah," he said. "I don't. I approach them just like any other game. Week 1. Giants vs. Cowboys. Huge game. Going to be a good atmosphere. But like I said, no animosity towards them. It happened. Just going to go out there and play my game."

3:00 p.m. update
Before the trial began, it was already clear the two key witnesses would be Michael Phelps, the 16-year old accused of shooting a 15-year old classmate and his victim, Chance Jackson. Both took the stand before the trial was over, but it was the speed with which both their testimonies ended that was the story. Jackson was on the stand just five minutes, long enough to recount what he remembers of a profanity-laced confrontation with Phelps on the morning of March 25th. Jackson says Phelps accused him of talking trash behind his back, an accusation Jackson denied. When Phelps challenged Jackson to a fight, he declined. Phelps, Jackson says, told him that was "too bad", pulled a gun and fired twice. Jackson stood in the witness box to point to the two places he'd been hit – in the center of his abdomen, just below the sternum and on his left side, just below his ribs. With no questions from defense lawyer Steven Litz, the prosecution rested and Litz called what was to be his only witness, Phelps himself. Litz didn't even stand up to ask the sole question he would offer – whether Phelps intended to kill Jackson when he fired the shots. Phelps indicated he did. In less than ten minutes, the trial was over.
For weeks, Litz had said he'd present a technical case showing Phelps intended to harm, but not to murder Jackson. But after Judge Thomas Gray pronounced Phelps guilty of attempted murder, Litz told reporters he'd had a conversation with his teenage client last Thursday where Phelps indicated he no longer wanted to fight the most serious charge against him. Prosecutor Steve Sonnega says the admission came as a surprise on one hand, but follows the apparent feeling of prospective jurors who were questioned about the case…
"Our case kept getting stronger and stronger," Sonnega said. "If you recall when we were in Clay County, the jury kind of gave an earful of where they thought we were on intent…"
Those jurors were never empaneled, because Litz felt the pool had been tainted to the point where his client couldn't receive a fair trial anywhere in central Indiana. But he says what the Clay County jurors appeared to believe didn't figure into Monday's outcome…
"What happened two weeks ago with the jury…that has absolutely no relation whatsoever, because two weeks ago I had every intention of trying this case in front of Judge Gray," Litz said.
Five lesser charges against Phelps were dropped in exchange for the admission of the attempted murder charge. He could face a 20-50 year sentence when his jail term is decided next month. Prosecutor Sonnega could not say what penalty he'll seek at the August 12th hearing, but Litz said he hopes his client's admission of guilt will sway the judge to impose a reduced sentence. With good behavior and the minimum sentence, Phelps could be free again when he's in his mid-20s.
9:15 a.m. update
Monday's trial lasted less than 10 minutes with only Phelps and Jackson taking the stand and neither facing cross examination.
Defense Attorney Steven Litz said on Thursday Michael Phelps, 16, informed him that he wanted to change his plea regarding the attempted murder charge.
Phelps faces between 20 and 50 years in prison. Morgan County Prosecutor Steve Sonnega said he does not know what prison term he will ask for at Phelps' August 12 sentencing.

Swomley: When contemplating divorce, skip the lawyers
Published 6:13 pm, Thursday, April 17, 2014
Recent Julie Jason columns in the business section (March 30 and April 6) have presumed that when two people determine to divorce, the first step is to hire lawyers. (The first column involved the emotional preparation of hiring an attorney and the second examined what to look for in such an attorney.) This column instead asks, "is there a saner alternative?"
Ask anyone who has been through a typical divorce what it is like and they will tell you it is painful, frustrating and incredibly costly. Once attorneys are selected the course is usually predictable: File motions and discovery requests, take depositions, hire various "experts," and before you know it, the divorce process has run up hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. And this price tag does not even consider the emotional devastation to the parties and to their children resulting from the process. Perhaps worse is the feeling of helplessness -- one is at the mercy of lawyers, judges and a court system to speak and decide for him/her.
So, is there another path parties can take other than looking to hire the best "shark" out there? The answer is a resounding "yes." A trained and skilled mediator can help resolve in a sensible, less costly way the financial, parenting and other issues that must be resolved in a divorce. This is particularly true in cases of high net worth where confidentiality often plays a huge role. The goal is for the parties to reach their own agreements which take into account their individual finances, their children and their lives, rather than having those issues decided by a court, knowing neither party, or lawyers after spending tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars. As one mediator put it, "you can choose to send your children to college or your lawyer's children to college. You can choose to work out your issues together and be able to sit across the table at future family events or you can declare nuclear war and destroy that possibility."
Considering that most contested divorce cases ultimately settle anyway, it makes so much more sense to try to resolve the issues at the beginning, before the damage is done and the costs spiral out of control. Just because two people have decided to end their marriage does not mean they have become incompetent to determine matters of parenting, how their property should be distributed and other issues.
Most people need a little help going through the checklist of items that must be addressed to become divorced. Skilled mediation identifies the key issues and diminishes conflict in going through that list. It reinforces the ability and authority of two people to determine their own futures by focusing on what makes sense to them rather than on debating what a judge might or might not do. It also enables couples to resolve issues in months rather than years and at a fraction of the cost of most divorces. Divorce mediation offers a paradigm shift: We are not going to court and we are not going to combat. And, where there are children, we are not going to put them through a forensic process. At bottom, there is no question that mediation is a much gentler, quicker and more affordable alternative to what all too often ends up as guerilla warfare. And the mediation process is confidential.
Importantly, it is critical to find a mediator who has been trained in mediation techniques. Mediation requires that both parties have access to the same information and in some situations require power-balancing adjustments. There is no licensing requirement for mediators and thus before hiring one it is important to find out what mediation-specific training he/she has had and what mediation school of thought he/she subscribes to. If he/she has not had actual mediation training (advanced training even), then perhaps you should continue your search. Additionally, it is important to determine what type of mediation model your mediator uses. In my view, the most effective mediation model is one that facilitates a better understanding of the problems so that couples can develop their own tailor-made solutions with the mediator's help. This format offers a practical focus on problem solving with an emphasis on what works best for the couple.
Divorce is painful on many levels. Mediation cannot eliminate all the pain, but it can help provide a civil, sensible and less costly way of addressing the critical issues attendant to a divorce.
Greenwich resident Joanna Swomley, J.D., practiced complex commercial litigation for more than 20 years and was a partner in the New York offices of two international law firms. She created Mint Mediation LLC (www.mintmediation.com) in Greenwich so she could help couples in the prenuptial and marital stages, and in connection with the determination to divorce.

The other day I got a question about what I mean when I say that working with the Data View Web Part (DVWP) and jQuery can allow you to rapidly prototype solutions.
In my experience, both the DVWP and jQuery allow you to rapidly iterate on a potential solution for a business use outside the normal deployment cycle which is likely to be in place for a production environment. You can even do this directly in the production environment (assuming that things aren't too locked down) on real data.
Here's a real-world example. I'm working with someone on a site which will be used to communicate about career paths within a department. There are a number of different components to this, but one is a straightforward FAQ. The person I'm working with doesn't really know exactly what she wants it to look like, even though FAQs are pretty standard stuff. To show her what was possible, I quickly dummied up a new list using the Announcements template. I renamed the Title to Question, and added a new multi-line text column called Answer and another new Yes/No column called "Show on Home Page?". At that point I had the basic "container" for the data and I had her add in some representative items.
Next, I added a very simple DVWP to the default.aspx page of the site to list the Question columns for the items which had been tagged to show on the home page. (I used a DVWP here so that I could more tightly control the formatting. Announcements views are a little tricky to pare down with a standard List View Web Part [LVWP]). Then I created a new View page for the FAQ list which contained a DVWP rather than the standard LVWP. I made this DVWP look more like you would expect an FAQ to look: all the Questions listed at the top as anchor links to the full Question/Answer pairs below. We also toyed with the idea of using jQuery to expand/collapse the Question/Answer pairs on a click.
At some point, we will probably create a custom Feature and some Custom Web Parts to allow others to add FAQ functionality like this to their sites. This will be a true, deployable solution which we can offer and provide some consistency across sites. In this case, I was able to rapidly iterate without worrying about the two week deployment cycles at the client or the amount of time it would have taken a .NET developer to do the work. We looked at new stuff daily or even hourly to hone in on what she wanted.
This is a pretty simple example, but hopefully, it will gove you a little more insight into what I mean about rapid iteration using the DVWP and jQuery.

Very good quality product for the money.
Bought this as a joke present for my boyfriend but the joke is on me as he loved it! Great service so will definitely be repeat customer, especially for Christmas as great gift ideas available.
Made my chap laugh on his birthday. Great item, was suprised how large it was. Hope it washes ok.
Ought for my husband gud size bowl sure he'll love it too
Great item,very heavy.good quality
Perfect for the man in my life! Now just need a man sized litter tray, or not!
I bought this Man Bowl for my nephew at university - it's good quality and a very large bowl. It's the perfect gift for the man to have everything.
Bought the Man Bowl for my son's 15th birthday, and he absolutely loved it.
The Man Bowl has sloping sides so is very hard to pick up off a table or flat surface. What it needs is one or two holes at the side to ease lifting the bowl up. This is the only thing that I can find wrong with the Man Bowl. Thanks!
The Man Bowl is quite a heavy bowl. Everyone thought it was funny. My partner has a lot of cereal for breakfast so this was perfect!
Very disappointed with the Man Bowl. The actual bowl size is not very deep and much bigger than a normal sized bowl. I get the joke about it being a man bowl like a dog but if it had been designed much more practically then people could actually use it! Was very embarrassed to be so disappointed.
I ordered the man bowl for my partner as a Xmas present. Good quality and my partner loved it.

Birth at Mathura
Kansa loved her sister Devaki very much, but during the farewell time of her marriage he listened to the 'Akashvani' (a voice of god) that Devaki's 8th son would kill him. Due to this prophecy Kansa was frightened and in an immediate reaction, he imprisoned both Devaki and the bridegroom Vasudeva.
When Devaki gave the birth to a child, Kansa came and threw the newborn baby, one by one he killed all the newborns. Now the time had come for incarnation of Shri Krishna.
Shri Vishnu ordered His Yogmaya to transplant Sheshji from the foetus of Devaki to the foetus of Rohini. Ultimately the moment of waiting was over. The auspicious moment of the Shri Krishna's coming had come. To relieve the earth, the Shri was taking birth. The whole cosmos appeared radiant. The Shri took birth from the Devaki's foetus. Vasudevji saw that there was a divine child standing before him. There were Conch, Chakra, Mace and Lotus in his four hands. When Vasudev came to know that the Shri Hari himself had taken birth as his son, he was overjoyed. The prison was filled with Shri Krishna's radiance. They got the intuition that the last child is not an ordinary child, It is the Shri, who promised to the world,' I am born from time to time in order to establish true religion in the world' Vasudev and Devaki bowed to the Shri and started praying. Now they became fearless.
Immediately after the birth of Shri Krishna the walls of the prison gave way. So Vasudeva could take away his rewly born child to save the entire generation, He carried him in a basket and went out. It was raining heavily. The river Yamuna was in great flood and its water was rising. Vasudeva wanted to cross the Yamuna and reach the other bank. He was wading through Yamuna, however, when the floodwaters rose very high, Shri Krishna touched the water with his toe and immediately the flood receded. The water made way for Vasudev and there after Shri Krishna was taken to Gokul to stay there incognito.
The same time Jasoda, wife of Nanda gave birth to a baby. Vasudeva kept his kid at their home and brought the newborn baby of Jasoda. He came back to Mathura and doors of prison closed themselves. When Kansa came to know about the birth, he rushed towards the prison and threw the baby in the sky, but this time he could not kill the baby, she skipped from his hand immediately reaching the sky, she was transformed into a divine goddess. She had eight hands, each having a Bow, a Trident, an Arrow, a Shield, a Sword, a Conch, a Chakra and a Mace respectively. At that time all deities from heaven started praising her. She told Kansa "O foolish! What will you get by killing me? Your enemy, who is going to kill you, is already born somewhere else.' and warned Kansa that his killer was born at Gokul and she disappeared in the sky.
