Pentagon Discuses Gen. Petraeus' Comments on Pakistani Offensive
News in Balance:
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4, 2009 -- As the Pakistani military achieves success against extremists operating in Pakistan, the campaign also is aiding anti-insurgent efforts in Afghanistan, the commander of U.S. Central Command said today.
In fact, the months-long Pakistani offensive is putting the Taliban, al-Qaida and other extremists in the region "under significant pressure," Army Gen. David H. Petraeus told National Public Radio host Steve Inskeep during a segment of the "Morning Edition" news program.
The Pakistani campaign is assisting U.S. and coalition efforts in Afghanistan, Petraeus said, noting Afghan Taliban leader Mullah Omar "is generally thought to be located most of the time, if not all the time, in Pakistan."
Pakistan's military has been engaged over the past nine months or so in several actions targeting extremist groups in Pakistan that are known to cross the border to create mayhem in Afghanistan, Petraeus said.
The offensive, the general said, indicates that Pakistan's government and citizens now recognize "that the most pressing threat to the very existence of Pakistan as they know it is the extremist syndicate" that operates in the region, which includes Afghan and Pakistani Taliban and other insurgent groups.
Pakistani troops have conducted "quite impressive" operations against insurgents in the Swat Valley area in the northwestern frontier section of the country, Petraeus said.
Pakistani soldiers also have moved against Pakistani Taliban elements based in the country's eastern-south Waziristan region and also are targeting other extremists operating in northern Warizistan, he said.
Pakistan has committed thousands of troops to deal with extremists operating within its borders, Petraeus said, adding "you cannot underestimate" the importance of the steps Pakistan has taken to deal with its internal terrorist threat.
The campaign has come at a cost, he pointed out, noting many Pakistani soldiers and civilians have been killed or injured over the past 9-10 months.
As the anti-insurgent campaigns in Afghanistan and Pakistan continue, Petraeus said, there needs to be very close coordination along the Afghan-Pakistani border.
The general observed that Pakistan's military campaign against extremists "has achieved a good bit" over the past nine months or so.
"But, we have a very long way to go in that regard," he said.

The application I am developing for my work should be in 12 different languages.
So every button, tabbutton..... Has its own "text" depending on the language selected on the first view.
How do I solve this in the designer?
The application I am developing for my work should be in 12 different languages.
So every button, tabbutton..... Has its own "text" depending on the language selected on the first view.
How do I solve this in the designer?
We plan to add multi lang support further in the road map. We don't support it directly as of yet
Phil Strong
Any good advise? I did it in ST1 by having a object for every language, like danish.hello world give "hej".
But I don't see how I could set a text property to something else then a String in the Designer?
Would have to be done after the fact outside of designer. You could use Designer to do it in one language and then use favorite text editor and find/replace tactics to replace the strings with objects
Phil Strong
My deadline is soon so I have to figure this out. If no one has any sugestions I might post my solution here. Language selection will be essential for many of our apps.
I been thinking on such issue and the only solution you have is to write some sort of interceptor on constructor and/or initComponent() which read language resource, traverse the DOM tree and replace properties (label, title, etc.) of already instantiated views.
UI: Sencha Architect / ExtJS 4 - 6
Server side: JEE / EJB 3.x / CDI / JPA 2.x/ JAX-RS / JasperReports
Application Server: WildFly / Weblogic
Databases: Oracle / MySQL / DB2 / Firebird
If you like my answer please vote!
We need to be able to offer users customisable literals for everything.
So what we've done so far is to define a function in launch() like window.myapp.t() which takes a string argument and returns the corresponding string from an associative array defined in a localisation js file included earlier. So every time you need a literal (eg a label) you put myapp.t('thisform.thislabel')
I'd be interested to hear better suggestions and look forward to Sencha fully supporting translations.
No you can't do this in Designer.
you could do something clever like set all the components you need localized to a special cls like localizeMe and a 2nd cls to $localizeIndex.
then you could have a script that traverses the dom on application launch looking for all components that have .localizeMe and you could use the $whatever to lookup the correct text depending on localization. Include a different resource file depending on language.
Phil Strong
Its going great with this feature. I just have one problem, Navigation View Title.
I would like to change the title on the toolbar title. But if i change config.title = foo; It will not be visible.
There is not set and get. What can i do?

|Indian Emergency of 1975-1977
"I do not believe that a democratic society has the obligation to acquiesce in its own dissolution"
-Saturday review, 9th Aug 1975
The Indian Emergency of 25th June 1975-21st March 1977 was a 21 month period, when President Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, upon advice by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, declared a state of emergency under Article 352 of the Constitution of India, effectively bestowing on her the power to rule by decree, suspending elections and civil liberties. This was a dramatic turn in the Indian political affairs. The democracy was brought to a grinding halt and all the fundamental rights and legal remedies protected by the Constitution of The Republic of India were suspended. Indira Gandhi tried to defend the emergency on the grounds that she was trying to protect the State and the Indian people. Nevertheless, her emergency rule faced immense criticism and is undoubtedly one of the most controversial periods of the political history of Independent India.

Vegetables and fruits diet
Vegetables and Fruits
Choose more vegetables and fruits. Go for color and variety—dark green, yellow, orange, and red.
It's hard to argue with the health benefits of a diet rich in vegetables and fruits: Lower blood pressure; reduced risk of heart disease, stroke, and probably some cancers; lower risk of eye and digestive problems; and a mellowing effect on blood sugar that can help keep appetite in check.
Most people should aim for at least nine servings (at least 4½ cups) of vegetables and fruits a day, and potatoes don't count. Go for a variety of kinds and colors of produce, to give your body the mix of nutrients it needs. Best bets? Dark leafy greens, cooked tomatoes, and anything that's a rich yellow, orange, or red color.
5 Quick Tips: Eating More Vegetables and Fruit
1. Keep fruit out where you can see it. That way you'll be more likely to eat it. Keep it out on the counter or in the front of the fridge.
2. Get some every meal, every day. Try filling half your plate with vegetables at each meal. Serving up salads, stir fry, or other vegetable-rich fare makes it easier to reach this goal. Bonus points if you can get some fruits and vegetables at snack time, too.
3. Explore the produce aisle and choose something new. Variety is the key to a healthy diet. Get out of a rut and try some new fruits and vegetables.
4. Bag the potatoes. Choose other vegetables that are packed with more nutrients and more slowly digested carbs. Read the Carbohydrates section of The Nutrition Source to learn how to add good carbs to your diet. Or try one of these delicious whole grains recipes as an alternative to potatoes.
5. Make it a meal. Try some new healthy recipes where vegetables take center stage, such as Mollie Katzen's asparagus with warm tarragon-pecan vinaigrette, or Nina Simonds' spicy broccolini with red pepper.

Cruciferous veggies and fruits added to diet..2012-04-11 10:32:52 by --
I am trying to eat more fruits and vegetables, as opposed to just protein and meats. I never had a problem with BMs before, but now that I've been eating more roughage for the past 3 weeks, I find that my bowel movements have a lot more abdominal pain and discomfort before and during me passing stools. Also, the bowel movements don't leave me with that empty cleaned out feeling, it always seems like there's more to come but pushing it out isn't comfortable either. Prior to the dietary changes, I had no complaints so I am wondering why bother with the roughage.

Although the benefits for inbound marketing strategies are well-documented, it is difficult to implement without an established brand for your company. This is where outbound marketing strategies can help you start the first conversations to build relationships with potential clients. Finding the right niche for a new business can require significant amount of trial and error. Therefore, reaching out to more prospects to generate leads is a sound strategy. Also, outbound marketing is necessary to build rapport with new decision makers. However, in order to be successful with outbound marketing, it is critical to have the right sales cadence and the right amount of human touch.

2012 Upland Bird Forecast Online
While some areas of central, northcentral, and northwest
may offer some good hunting, drought and heat have reduced bird numbers
The Kansas Department of Wildlife, Parks and Tourism (KDWPT) has released its 2012 Kansas Upland Bird Forecast, and because of continued drought, the state will likely experience a below-average upland bird season this fall.
upland bird hunters experienced a down season in 2011, and this summer's heat and drought in parts of the state have not improved upland bird prospects for 2012. For those willing to hunt hard, there will still be pockets of fair bird numbers, especially in the northern Flint Hills and northcentral and northwestern parts of the state. Kansas
Although last winter was mild, winter precipitation is important for spring vegetation, which is critical to reproductive success, and most of
did not get enough winter precipitation. Pheasant breeding populations showed significant reductions in 2012, especially in primary pheasant range in western Kansas . Spring came early and hot this year but also included fair spring moisture until early May, when the precipitation stopped. Then the state experienced record heat and drought through the rest of the reproductive season.
Early nesting conditions were generally good for prairie-chickens and pheasants. However, the primary nesting habitat for pheasants in western
Kansas is winter wheat, and in 2012, had one of the earliest wheat harvests on record. Wheat harvest can destroy nests and very young broods. The early harvest likely lowered pheasant nest- and early-brood success. The intense heat and lack of rain in June and July resulted in decreased brood cover and insect populations, causing lower chick survival for all upland game birds.
Because of drought, all counties in
were opened to Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) emergency haying or grazing. Many CRP fields, including Walk In Hunting Areas (WIHA), may be affected. Kansas has more than one million acres of WIHA (atlases available online at ksoutdoors.com or at any license vendor). Often, older stands of CRP grass need disturbance, and haying and grazing can improve habitat for the next breeding season and ultimately be beneficial if weather is favorable. Kansas
The regular opening date for the pheasant and quail seasons is Nov. 10 for the entire state. The previous weekend — Nov. 3-4 — is the special youth pheasant and quail season. Youth participating in the special season must be 16 years old or younger and accompanied by a non-hunting adult who is 18 or older. All public wildlife areas and WIHA tracts will be open for public access during the special youth season.
Pheasant breeding populations dropped by nearly 50 percent or more across pheasant range from 2011 to 2012, resulting in fewer adult hens in the population to start the 2012 nesting season. Drought has resulted in less cover and insects needed for good pheasant reproduction. Additionally, winter wheat serves as major nesting habitat for pheasants in western
, and a record early wheat harvest this summer likely destroyed some nests and young broods. Then the hot, dry weather set in from May to August, the primary brood-rearing period for pheasants. Insufficient precipitation and lack of habitat and insects throughout the state's primary pheasant range resulted in limited production. This will reduce hunting prospects compared to recent years. However, some good opportunities to harvest roosters in the Kansas remain, especially for those willing to work for their birds. Though the drought has taken its toll, Sunflower State still contains a pheasant population that will produce a harvest in the top three or four major pheasant states this year. Kansas
The best areas this year will likely be pockets of northwest and northcentral
. Populations in southwest Kansas were hit hardest by the 2011-2012 drought (72 percent decline in breeding population), and a very limited amount of production occurred this season due to continued drought and limited breeding populations.
The bobwhite breeding population in 2012 was generally stable or improved compared to 2011. Areas in the northern Flint Hills and parts of northeast
experienced improved production this year. Much of eastern Kansas has seen consistent declines in quail populations in recent decades. After many years of depressed populations, this year's rebound in quail reproduction in eastern Kansas is welcome, but overall populations are still below historic averages. The best quail hunting will be found throughout the northern Flint Hills and parts of central Kansas . Prolonged drought likely impaired production in central and western Kansas . Kansas
The spring prairie-chicken lek survey indicated that most populations remained stable or declined from last year. Declines were likely due to extreme drought throughout 2011. Areas of northcentral and northwest
Kansas fared the best, while areas in southcentral and southwest experienced the sharpest declines where drought was most severe. Many areas in the Flint Hills were not burned this spring due to drought. This resulted in far more residual grass cover for much improved nesting conditions compared to recent years. There have been some reports of prairie-chicken broods in these areas, and hunting will likely be somewhat improved compared to recent years. Kansas
Because of recent increases in prairie-chicken (both species) populations in northwest
, regulations have been revised this year. The early prairie-chicken season (Sept. 15-Oct. 15) and two-bird bag limit has been extended into northwest Kansas . The northwest unit boundary has also been revised to include areas north of U.S. Highway 96 and west of U.S. Highway 281. Additionally, all prairie-chicken hunters are now required to purchase a $2.50 prairie-chicken permit. This permit will allow KDWPT to better track hunters and harvest, which will improve habitat management practices. Both species of prairie-chicken are of conservation concern, and the lesser prairie-chicken is a candidate species for federal listing under the Endangered Species Act.
A detailed 2012 Kansas Upland Bird Hunting Forecast is available online at the KDWPT website, ksoutdoors.com. Click "Hunting/Upland Birds/Upland Bird Regional Forecast" for the complete report.

It's something like Chromium-OS, however even more minimal.
I was thinking, if it is possible at all??? That I use an Ubuntu 12.04 minimal, just to install the base OS, and then on top of it only the chromium browser, without any GUI like gnome, KDE, etc.
If this is not possible, then is it possible to browse the internet directly through the terminal which comes immediately after installing the base minimal OS. I don't want to install anything except for a GUI browser (not the text browser).

Mann selected as 2012 Legend of the PGA
Mann, who served from 1999 to 2000 as the 31st president of the PGA, graduated from North Carolina State University (NCSU) with a bachelor's degree in forestry. He became a member of the PGA in 1979 and began his career as a golf course superintendent. He was the first superintendent at Myrtle Beach National Golf Club, where he was responsible for the construction and turf management for the course. He has worn many hats in the golf industry, serving in such capacities as head golf professional, general manager and golf course owner.
His first role within the PGA was serving as an officer at the section level for the Carolinas. From 1992 to 1993, he served as the Carolinas Section president, and two years later he served as national secretary of the PGA. He was elected president of the PGA in 1999. During his presidency, Mann championed many programs to benefit members of the PGA using grassroots efforts, such as the PGA Retirement Plus, which has helped PGA members supplement their retirement policies, and the Ryder Cup Player Charity Distribution Plan, which has given more than $18 million to date. He is also a strong supporter of the Special Olympics. Mann was awarded the lifetime achievement award from the Department of Parks, Recreation and Tourism Management at NCSU in 2011, and he was inducted into the PGA Hall of Fame in 2005.
"William Mann is passionate about the PGA of America, and I think he looks upon the opportunity to teach as a way not only to share some of his experience and breadth of knowledge with students, but also to give back to the profession and the organization that has been so good to him," says Charles Thrash, director of the PGM program at Coastal Carolina University. "He is a great guy, and Coastal Carolina University is lucky to have him."
The Legend of the PGA award was created in 1995 to recognize living past presidents of the PGA who have made positive changes within the organization and community.

I thought I might have to refrigerate long than 30 minutes to get full-flavor, but because of time restraints I couldn't and it was very good just as stated. I used red wine vinegar because of an allergy, but everything else as printed; it took about 30 minutes to get done using breasts that I cut thin. Everyone really enjoyed it!
Feb 26, 2012
It wasn't that the flavor of this was bad; it did have a nice taste. But it took 45 minutes to cook, was cooking mostly submersed in liquid (could the chicken have let off that much water?) and the chicken didn't brown at all. Overall a disappointment.
Feb 4, 2012
This was really good. I used pineapple tidbits instead of crushed pineapple because that's what I had on hand. I think I ended up having too much pineapple juice. The juices were really runny. The pineapple was the best part of the meal though. Next time I'll try the recipe with the crushed and see if that makes a difference. The flavor was good. My only complaint is my chicken took 50 minutes to cook at 350 degrees and I had even butterflied my chicken breasts to make them thinner.

Finally we get to see again the artful fixer and barber Figaro, who helps his love-sick friend the Count Almaviva to win Rosina – his heart's desire – in spite of her ageing guardian Doctor Bartolo doing everything in his power to commandeer her for himself. Clever practical jokes, false disguises and lively music ensure the action at breakneck speed, with four dancers and an unusually terpsichorean chorus spreading restlessness all around in their worn-out Czech fire brigade uniforms.
The plaudits have rained down on David Radok's hilarious production of The Barber of Seville, now being staged for the fourth time at The Göteborg Opera following its premiere in 2000 and its revivals in 2002 and 2007. The same production was also staged during an acclaimed guest performance at the major opera festival in Aix-en-Provence in the summer of 2005.
Olof Boman conducts for the first time at The Göteborg Opera. In the role of the shrewd barber we once again find Åke Zetterström, while the beautiful Rosina is sung by Ida Falk Winland, who is well-known to audiences in Gothenburg following Julius Caesar and Alcina. In Alcina we could also savour the performance of Martin Vanberg, who now plays the Count Almaviva. The Göteborgs Opera's own Markus Schwartz sings the lecherous Doctor Bartolo in this production.
Kjell Ingebretsen will conduct all the performances of The Barber of Seville. He replaces Olof Boman.

I have a 100G+ innodb table that needs to be dropped in a production environment. I am trying to do this without interruption to service.
The table is no longer being written to, and needs to be dropped to free up space. My MySQL version is 5.1.52.
What is the expected impact to performance while this table is being dropped? I was thinking of slowly shrinking it by deleting rows and then optimizing. However, optimize makes a copy of the table so it will be just as disk IO intensive, if not more.

We live in a toxic world, some of which plays out within our bodies, our atmosphere and in our minds. Most of us think it's not "our� problem so leave it up to someone else to resolve. However, when looking across the American and worldwide landscape we see mirrored reflections of our society's refusal to take responsibility for our actions, actions set in motion by our own collective mindset and behavior. Most people prefer to remain entrenched in their early schooling whether via their parents, educational systems, or news sources. Most simply march to the drum of their early forms of indoctrination without ever questioning, without ever seeking other options to explore. We have become a society of followers, inundated with constant rhetoric. We allow our minds to stagnate via the cesspool of poisonous scenarios trotted out for us through violence, anger, and fear. We are a society held hostage to our own muck and mire, constantly bombarded with programming which suggests we are helpless to prevent the chaos around us. Eventually, this sludge trickles down from the mind and manifest into our bodies in all forms of cancerous dis-ease, abnormal disease which we come to accept as the norm. In his play "The Healing Zone,� Carl Clay, the Executive Producer of the Black Spectrum Theatre, located in Roy Wilkins Park, in St. Albans, Queens, addresses our toxic society and asks what each of us are prepared to do about it.
"The Healing Zone� primarily focuses on the life of Doctor Suja (Fulton C. Hodges) who while serving under the auspices of Dr. Bates, a prestigious American doctor working in Africa (Todd Davis), discovers the indigenous people have better success at curing contagious illnesses, via use of their own native plants, than did Western Medicine despite all its drugs and scientific technology. Eager to learn more, Dr. Suja studies with a Bush woman (Marcha Tracey) who cures her daughter (Beryl Crosdale) through use of native remedies and rituals. Dr. Suja returns to the hospital with his newfound knowledge only to find that Dr. Bates is already aware of the native cure but allows his patients to die because he deems the native remedies have no place in serious scientific medicine. Disillusioned, Dr. Suja, forsakes his internship and sets off on a course of medical study that includes all the medicinal remedies of the indigenous people of the world.  He studies Iridology and acupuncture in China, the Ayurvedic healing of India, the healing herbs, plants, and rituals of Africa and he studies the Koori healing method of the Australian aboriginals. He learns about Wholistic healing and its effects on the mind, body, and spirit. After studying these methods, Dr. Suja finds his biggest block is opening up people's minds to alternative healing methods in his own country. He returns to America where he sets up an office in Harlem with his medical assistant Delma (Valarie Tekosky). Together they instruct people on the healing arts. Eventually, Dr. Suja and Dr. Bates meet again but only to clash over curing a cancer patient played by Monica Urselle Brit.
"The Healing Zoneâ€? directed by Betty Howard also includes cast members Omar M'Sai, Roy Coleman, Damani Young, Katrell Clay and Rommell Sermons.Â
"I wrote "The Healing Zone� because I discovered the benefits of proper diet and eliminating meat and dairy� explained producer Carl Clay. Meat and dairy products clog the system causing disease in the body. Did you know that some so called backward societies were working with placenta long before modern society knew of its use regarding stem cells? Native Americans even knew about suspended animation via their observation of the gaseous substance found in the caves of hibernating bears. Science is now considering aiding wounded soldiers on the battlefield via this substance,� explained the talented producer and writer. "Via my play, I sought to educate not rail against Western Medicine. Western medicine offers a lot and I encourage people to see their doctors. However, healthcare has become so costly fewer people can afford it. We pay more but are we truly being healed? These are questions we should begin to ask ourselves. Is there a better way? I encourage people to become responsible for their own forms of healing by becoming informed. Talk to your doctor, talk to alternative healing practitioners; be familiar with your bodies so you can make informed decisions. Do whatever necessary to make the best choices for a healthy life. Increase your options via discovering what works for you. There is room for both conventional and preventive medicine in today's healthcare system,� remarked Clay.
It's well known that the American Medical Society and the pharmaceutical companies are collaborators. Many doctors and hospitals acquire their grants and research funding from these pharmaceutical and medical supply companies. Therefore, these hospitals and doctors often dispense the drugs manufactured by these same companies. Our media outlets and television sets bombard us with ads and TV commercials informing us of a new drug, a new disease, an unheard of virus. Our heads are swimming with the amount of drugs that are being pushed on all ages within our society. Drugs to make you feel good, drugs to make you forget, drugs to calm your nerves, drugs to take away your depression, drugs to stop women's periods. You name it, there's a drug for it. And what do we know about these drugs? Many of these drugs have side effects that seem worse than the illness itself. The Healing Zone is a unique play because it addresses all these issues, offers alternatives, and is quite informative. It says perhaps there is an alternative to simply drugging it out of us or cutting it out. Has medicine become merely about big business rather than healing? Ultimately, it is up to each of us to go in search of that answer.
The "Healing Zone� closed on Sunday, April 9th.    However, it will reopen for an extended run on Friday, May 18th. Make sure you see it

Home Point Streak Ends as Hogs Fall to Admirals at BMO
Rockford, Ill. – One night after being taken down by the Milwaukee Admirals 8-3, the Rockford IceHogs battled their Midwest Division foe with an AHL-record eight-game home point streak on the line. But surrendering six goals on the night resulted in Rockford losing for the second straight night to Milwaukee, 6-2, ending their home point streak.
The Admirals struck first at 9:39 of the first period when Bryan Rodney fired a slapshot on a pass from Vinny Saponari to give Milwaukee the 1-0 lead.
Rockford tied it up at 11:37 when Pierre-Marc Bouchard swiped the puck from the Admirals, winning a one-on-one battle with Milwaukee netminder Marek Mazanec to tie the game at 1-1.
Just 1:27 into the second period, the Admirals took the lead once more on a turnover in front of Jason LaBarbera. Filip Forsberg was able to fire the puck past the IceHogs goaltender for the 2-1 marker.
After killing a 5-on-3 and a 5-on-4 power play for the Admirals, the IceHogs drove the puck down the ice where Terry Broadhurst fired the puck past Mazanec from the left faceoff circle. After a review, the goal was upheld and the score was knotted at 2-2 with 8:44 remaining in the sandwich frame.
Milwaukee kept the pressure on the Hogs as Miikka Salomaki took a pass from Mathieu Tousignant and flipped into the open side of the net with 1:30 remaining give the Admirals a 3-2 lead.
After Brad Mills was whistled for a boarding major, the IceHogs had 5:00 of power play to deal with. Milwaukee tallied once more, this time on the powerplay, as Calle Jarnkrok found the back of the net with 36 seconds left to extend the Admirals lead to 4-2.
The third period didn't go the IceHogs way either, as Milwaukee made it a 5-2 contest with 9:03 remaining. Rookie centerman, Colton Sissons, netted the puck after Vinny Saponari fired one at LaBarbera that rebounded to Sissons.
Milwaukee sealed the contest with an empty-net goal with 1:13 left in the game as Joonas Rask fired it into the net for the 6-2 victory.
Next Home Game: Saturday, March 22 against the Chicago Wolves. Puck drop is 7 p.m. It is country night with the IceHogs and the first 1,500 fans through the gate will receive a cowboy hat courtesy of Frito Lay. Gunner and the Grizzly Boys will be performing live at the game.

In December's Pragati, I caution against any attempt to substantially alter the Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) between India and Pakistan. The framework provided by the treaty has stood the test of time and has withstood the pressures of three wars. While there is no doubt that Pakistan faces a water crisis, we in India need to tread carefully when it comes to altering aspects of IWT to accommodate Pakistan's problems. India's national interest should be the only consideration in determining where we go with IWT in the future. Magnanimity is not always a virtue.
Unfortunately, the undeniable benefits of the treaty to Pakistan have been obscured by misplaced apprehension and aggression. Ayub Khan's fears of Pakistan's water insecurity did not prevent him from waging war against India in 1965. Since then, Pakistan has imposed war on India twice and provokedIndia through insurgencies and terror. Yet, India continues to respect the IWT in letter and spirit, not denying Pakistan its share of water even during times of war.
Certainly, transnational water sharing is a complicated subject. In our own region, the sharing of water between states and provinces has been an emotive issue, as evidenced by the disputes over the Kalabagh dam between the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Sindh, and the Kaveri dispute between Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. There is no denying that Pakistan's water challenges are real, notwithstanding the dubious causes suggested. And it behooves India, as a neighbour, to help Pakistan address some of these challenges, where possible.
However, one must recognise that Pakistan's water problems are its own and that to a great extent, the solutions to these problems lie in Pakistan. India cannot be expected to display magnanimity towards Pakistan when Pakistan itself has not demonstrated a basic desire to tackle structural and governance issues in water management. [Pragati]

Scores of animals taken from Eagle River home
Authorities arrested two Eagle River men on animal-cruelty charges after finding about three dozen dogs and nearly 50 parakeets living in filth at an Eagle River home last weekend.
Combine all those animals with a separate situation that brought 22 cats to Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center, and the municipal shelter is just about maxed out. (See page 5) The Eagle River case started with a disturbing discovery by maintenance man Robert Jones.
For the last five years, Daniel Hoffman, 51, and Lester Mendez, 46, rented a single-family home with a three-car garage on Hanson Drive, according to the home's owner, Wayne Hanson.
Jones paid a visit Saturday, Jan. 14 after the two men reported frozen pipes, said Hanson, an Anchorage bed and breakfast operator.
Nearing the home, Jones smelled and saw all the animals inside and alerted animal-welfare officers. Once inside, he discovered dogs in pet carriers stacked six high and feces everywhere — inches deep on some floors and covering the bottoms of the pet carriers.
"He couldn't get up the stairs to check on the pipes," Hanson said Monday. "It was unreal. I haven't been in the house yet to tell you the truth. I've got kind of a weak stomach."
Police arrested Hoffman and Mendez on charges of animal cruelty.
All told, authorities discovered 39 dogs ranging in age, most of them small breeds, and more than 40 parakeets, according to Anchorage Animal Care and Control Center spokeswoman Brooke Taylor.
Anchorage police spokeswoman Anita Shell described the home's condition as "unkempt" with pathways leading through stacks of items, electric heaters the only source of heat and an "unusable" kitchen that contained a 25-gallon barrel filled with dog food. Little water appeared available to the dogs. An officer saw one dog running in and out of a bathroom, apparently thirsty and drawn to the toilet; the officer closed the door to keep the dog from drinking the feces-fouled water.
Both men are out of custody after making bail. The voice mail was full at a phone number listed for Hoffman.
A neighbor who said he lives across the street from the men said he didn't even know they had dogs.
The home has been condemned, Hanson said, which saves him the challenge of evicting his tenants. He's waiting on more information before proceeding with cleanup.
Authorities at the animal shelter weren't releasing much information because the animal-cruelty case is ongoing. They hoped to have an update later this week.Veterinarians on Monday were still examining the dogs and birds but some do have health problems, Taylor said. It's unclear whether any of them will need to be euthanized.
"Because of the living conditions they were found in and the neglect that we believe we were seeing, there are some animals with health concerns," she said.

Authors sometimes set their stories in fictionalized versions of real cities. But how does a book's setting being close to home change how you read the book?
In response to this post on science fiction and fantasy version of real life cities, commenters began discussing some fictional cities — from Ursula K Le Guin's take on Portland, OR in The Lathe of Heaven to Charles de Lint's spin on Ottawa in Moonheart — and how they intersected with their real world equivalent, or, sometimes, didn't:
Iwas living in Ottawa in the '90s when I read Charles de Lint's Moonheart, so I went to check out the block of houses that's secretly supposed to be one big house, and it had already been partly gentrified.
Have you ever gone to see some of the city sights recommended to you by fiction? And did seeing them change how you imagined the story? Tell us about some of the books that take place in your city — and just what they did (or didn't) add to your reading of the book.

Big snow-maker brushes southeast Wisconsin
A storm system Weather Watch 12 has been watching very closely all week is now taking shape -- and looks to miss southeast Wisconsin.
A southern track into eastern Kentucky by Sunday afternoon, means all the heavy snow will hit in the mid-sections of the country.
Above is the forecast snow amounts Sunday into Monday -- flurries and light snow showers will be possible, but snowfall accumulations look minor, if any.
The significant snowfall of 6" or more will setup in Missouri and eastward.
The southern track of the storm along with dry NE winds, gusting to 30 miles per hour will also help to cut down on snow amounts.
Here's a plot of forecast sustained winds from our in-house high-res model.
Highs will hit 32-35 degrees on Sunday area-wide -- so any snow that does fall will likely melt on the road surfaces.
Continue to follow the latest developments with this storm system here on WISN.com, WISN 12 News, and all of our mobile apps.

Includes footage of the Festival of Norway in Scarborough in 1966, which celebrated the founding of the town by Viking settlers 1,000 years previously, and the automated production process for Primula cheese and Kavli crispbreads in the Kavli factory at Team Valley Trading Estate, Gateshead. Kavli first set up operations in Cramlington back in 1936.
An amateur film made by Alan Wharram which shows the preparation and parade of floats taking part in the Lord Mayor's Parade in Newcastle, in 1982.

Lady Olga instead seeks refuge in a convent with her lady companion and sends word to Paul who has taken up his post as Admiral in the King's fleet. Paul Beverley returns to rescue his lover. Locations used in the film include Durham Castle and Cathedral.
A film made by members of the Middlesbrough and later Teesside Fire Brigade recording various events and activates the brigade were involved in between 1961 and 1972.

St Mary Star of the Sea College
My work examines nature's ability to replicate, change, adapt and regenerate. Natural landforms depicted include rocks, vegetation and rivers, creating a series of images that ebb and flow. Perspective changes from aerial to linear, which creates some contrast and dislocates the audience. The presence of the audience is reiterated in some artworks that make subtle suggestions of human existence. The experimental nature of my work has led me to create artworks in two-dimensional media (primarily watercolour), photography and digital media. Recycled surfaces were incorporated into the body of work to create irregularities in the series.
The artworks by Amie McAlary, Mat Collishaw and Yamamoto Baiitsu represent diverse ways artists and audiences can engage with the natural world. Define the strategies associated with representing nature in art-making by responding to each artist's practice. Outline the way elements of cultural traditions and the concept of time have been incorporated in each artwork.

Dave Jaffe Scolds CNN For Unfair Reporting On Violent Games
After seeing a CNN report in which anchor Erin Burnett tried to badger psychologist and author William Pollack into saying that there was a hard link between games and recent violent shooting sprees, the Twisted Metal creator wrote a rant directed at the network.
You can watch the original CNN clip below. The video game segment starts at 2:58. While Pollack seems concerns about game violence, he flatly answers "No" when asked if games caused the recent tragedies that have occurred, and quickly moved the conversation to the easy availability of weapons in the U.S. Burnett seems unswayed by his opinions and tries time and again to bring the blame back to games.
Jaffe didn't take kindly to this, and offered this statement vie his Twitlonger account:
Dear @ErinBurnett : you, ma'am, are at best an idiot that @cnn should be ashamed to have as an anchor. At worst, you are the worst kind of American: one who has allowed the healthy desire for success to morph into a capitalistic cancer that makes it ok to ignore the facts in order to make your product more appealing, regardless of the consequences. To make matters worse, your own views about video games- which you seem to have no problem sharing with your hundreds of thousands of viewers- clearly have not been formed by any actual research or real life experience with the medium.
I am sure you will think yourself quick and insightful when you tell me- a video game director/designer accusing someone from another industry of making products for profit regardless of consequence- that I am the pot and you are the black kettle. However, if you actually listened to your guests and read the studies (aka if you actually did some....some....hmmm, what's that word you journalists have for it? Oh right: RESEARCH!) you would see you are wrong; you would see there remains- after years of studies- zero evidence of video games with violent subject matter causing real life violence.
On the flip side- you know: YOUR side- there is very real evidence that our society suffers greatly when our news media fails to properly inform the public.
The fact that you think a guy who 'trains'* on a shooting video game would be granted the skill to horrifically, tragically kill those CHILDREN in Norway only serves to show how little research you do before you open your mouth in front of your world wide audience under the guise of delivering news. I'm not sure what makes your argument look more ignorant: the fact that you don't back up your idiotic statement by showing a correlation to the current health of America's agriculture sector with the popularity of Farmville OR the fact that the sick, deranged evil loser who killed those poor kids in Norway had picked such a poor 'training' tool that after 700 hours of play, he was only capable of hitting little kids with his bullets versus the well armed pretend terrorists and highly skilled virtual soldiers that he was battling in the game.
Shame on you. But more importantly: shame on your profession. It deserves so much better.**
